CLEVELAND,Ohio, July 31. — There still con-
tinHe to be many conflictixig opinions as to the
precise nature of the indorsement which Pres-
ident Hayes and his Administration will re-
ceive from the State Convention of Ohio
Republicans, which meets here to-morrow.
That some kind of a complimentary resolution
respecting him will be passed there is no
doubt, but there are larp:e numbers of usuallv
well informed persons who express the belief
that it will be worded with great care, and will
be capable of more than one translation. It can
be stated positively that the gentlemen who ex-
press these and similar opinions are greatly in
error. The resolution which will be presented
and passed indorses Mr. Hayes in the heartiest
and most unqualified terms.
This afternoon the State Central Committee met,
and designated Gen. Grosvenor. Speaker of the
Assembly, to act as temporary Chairman. This
move was generally regarded as a victory; for
Judge Taft, for it is understood that the Speaker
warmly, supports him for the Governorship.
At the same time, there were a number of per-
sons who argued that, as Taft was not believed
to be particularly friendly to the Administra-
tion, Grosvenor would not go out of
his way to compliment !VIr. Hayes in
his opening address. This also is a mistake.
I have just read the speech which the tempo-
rary Chairman will deliver- In it the President
Is indorsed most cordially. The following is an
exact copy of what will be said regarding him
and his administration :
The Rppnblican r.arty has jd^en to this country a
National Administration which in five >hort months.
amid the honrlin^ and anathemas of it.<i enemies, the
deprecation, doubt, t>.ir. aid hesitation of many of
its most tried and Jfnitliful adherents, has re-estab-
li.shed political pea^-e and miblir confidence through-
out the Jftates of tlie South. The course of the Re-
pnblican Farty lias challenged the admiration and
MessinK of the pood men of all political faiths aiid
parties. It went before the people in rlie
campaiKH of 1ST6. pnelaimine that " the permanent
piicificarion of the Southern section of the ruion and
the complete protection of citizens in the free enjoy-
ment or" all their rights is a duty to which the Repub-
lican Party stands sacredly pledged. With such
a recocuitton fully accorded, it will be practica-
ble to' promotts t b e efforts of the people of
those States to olitain the blessincs of hon-
est and capable Sflf-ffovemment." In accepting,
the nomination of his party npon this platform. Mr.
Hayes said : " The motal acd mat«^riiil prosperitv
of the Southern S^TftlesT'can be most effectually ad-
vanced hv a hearty antF Kenerous recocnition of the
rjchts ot all by-all. a recognition without resterve or
exception." Acain. in his inaupiral address, the
Presid'-nt said : "' I wish now. when every motive
for mil' re presentation has passed away, to repeat
what was Siiid before the election.''
After referrinc to these aud other sentiments
expressed by President Hayes and the Repul)-
lican platform — and by the way, I may note the
somewhat si^ifirant fact that the resolution
adopted at Cincinnati a year ai;o and quoted
bI>ov(.- was wriirert hy Gov. Chamberlain, of
South Carolina — the speerh continuf-s:
Throuiih sunshine and storm, throujrh victory and
defeat, the Pre.'^idenr has siruir^led patiently, heroic-
ally, manfully, to redeem these pledges made by his
party and hiui.'*elf. "Whether as a candidate for the
Presidenry. .imid the turmoil of a campai^^ unparal-
leled in the history of American politics ; as a ^tient.
passive waiter for the rrrearest political verdict ever
rendcrtvl on earth, the modest, unassuminc. but
firm and self-reliant man. passiiu: to assume
a fearful duty and responsibility, or as Pre.sidcnt
of the Cnittd .States, sum>unded by the frra^est re-
sponvibiliTies, siuiii; by the desertion and own hos-
tility of life-lone i!or>on:iJ friends, he han been tiie
fame uutirine. iwrsistent. sagacious, solf -reliant,
waitici*. watchful, iudefnlipiiile. hone.<!t, and pure
patriot and states.Tian. The Republican Party may
well h*» proiiil that it has civ^n to the hi'«tor\' of
Ameri'-nn Presidents iho name of Katherford B.
Hiiyes. of Ohio.
After thus heartily iiMlorsint; the President
and his Administration, and after arraisrnin:^
"the Democratic P.irty f<»r its outi^jces in the
South and frauds in thi; North, tlw speerh al-
Itide-s to that clui:?** of the plalfomi of the Ohio
Democracy w)n«*h seeks t<i make iMililii*al capi-
tal out of till- recent l:ilK>rr iot.-*, auil theu con-
tinuKs as follows :
This same Dpniocratic party that now prates of
the pauperism of labor by Republi'-an ena'*tmenl«,
has itsf.lf tansht a fuLs© ^oetruie to the suffering
laborini: classes of this c<»^ntrj', until strikes and
violence have foll-.twed. and the result ha-* been that
the entire business interests -if the countr>- havt* re-
ceived a shi>rk tliat 10 years of hanl labor and self-
denj*in2 e<'ojioniy^animt repair. To-day the country
is apphUed by the fearful siuht f*t tlie waving, at the
bidding of the 1 democratic Party, us the result of
I>emf'cratic leachinjr*. of the bi"0«l-red fla>; of com-
munLsra. b<jme ui the hands of :in insensate raoh,
and Jn this time of horror we find the .\rmy reduced
by J^emfH-mtic h»fstility — weakenetl and rfedui!cd as if
to pave the way fur spoliation and .'marshy.
Re^ardinir the platform to be adopted there
will probably bt; no di.'*pute. except npon the
Bnancial plank. The best men in the party are
tr\'in:r t4> have the resolution in the national
platfonn readopted, btit the soft-money element
13 atronfrly represented here, and it is feared
that a detemiinetl fij;ht \vill l>e made for the pas.*t-
a.i^e of a resolution ealUiic for the repeal of the
E&s»imption act. Gen. Gartlehl and others are
doing their utmost to avert the threatened dan-
ger.
Judgre Taf t is .ttill thf» favorito candidate for
the Governorship, and his friend.s are confident
that he will b** uominaled. Some of the Presi-
dent's personal a*iiierent.s, however, declare that
his name shall nt'ver go on the tirket until he
has written a lette^r indorsiu*; the National Ad-
ministration. Senator Curtis, of this district, is
stiD warmly snpport»Hl, and ex-Gov- Dennison
and Jndge '\Ve.'*t, of Bellefontaine, are now re-
garded as po.isible candidates.
Later. — The deU-^atiou from Garfield's (Xine-
teenth) district in caucus to-ni^^ht declared
unaoimonsly for Taft. In an informal caucus
this tfterno(>n, at which Hon. Stanley Matthew.s,
Gen. GarlieM. Messrs Monroe, Cox, Danford,
McKinley. Judf:e Lawrence, and others were
present. Senator Matthews read and proposed
the following a.stonishing formula for a pUt-
form : First, unconditional repeal of the
Kesumption act ; second, reinonetization
of silver and its coinage without restriction ;
third, establishment .of the greenback as a per-
manent currency ; fourth, payment of Customs
duties in greenbacks. Gen. Garfield remarked
that this platform would suit the Democrats
better than their own, and denotmced
such apostasy in the most positive terms. He
wis sustained by Messrs. Cox and Foster, and it
ia evident that there will be backbone enough
to btiry the Matthews programme out of sight.
Xhe weakness is on the silver question, where
there will probablv be some concession to the
advocates of a double standard.

From Our Special CorretpondenL
^UCTKLAKD, Ohio, Monday, Jtdy 30, 1877.
Three weeks ago there were very few
persons in Ohio who believed that the Repub-
lican Paxty would be successful in the poUti^d
campaign which will he opened her© next
Wednesday. Indeed, those who were best
qualified to judge were most' despondent,
and enthusiastic old Eepublicans who had
often been considered over sanguine were
r^ady to acknowledge that defeat in the
eomi&g struggle was almost inevitable.
To-day the situation is completelv changed.
ThoM who wan moet despondent are now moot
hopef til, and everywhere the belief is expressed
that the Republican Party has at least " an even
chance to win." I This sudden change of feeling,
which is «o marked as to require much greater
attention than I can give it in the present letter,
was caused, no4 by any action of the Eepubli-
cans themselvesi but by the -ludicrotis, tha
suicidal mistake I made by their adversaries iiy
the Columbus Convention. In the Republi-
can Party ill the old elementis of
discontent remain. The President's Southern
policy, *'the expediency plan," the reconcilia-
tion programme, which was to have made lambs
of wolves, but which did not, finds no more
favor with the brave old " Union straight-outs "
than it did tliree months ago. John Sherman's
half-way measures and semi-mysterious projects
are regarded, as[ they have been, with a care
which is not altogether free from snspicion,
and the trouble cdused by that civil
sen-ice order has^ not quite blown over. These
facts must be at once appsf ent to any careful
observer who comes here to make himself ac-
quainted with the political sentiment of the
State. Every element of weakness that existed
in the Republican Party three weeks ago exists
to-day. Notwithstanding this, however, the
leading men int that party have in the time
mentioned become confident that they can carry
the next election* and this confidence, I may re-
peat, is due entirely to the almost insan^ blunders
made by the Democracy. The agents of thfe
party named, by [their action in the State Cpri-
vention last Wednesday, have displayed fair
greater weakness than their worst enemies ever
gave them creditj for. They have acknowledged
by their nominations that they are djvided up
into almost innupierable ambitious and contend-
ing factions — cliques so bitterly opposed to
each other that they dared not put their stand-
ard in thje handslof a representative man. They
knew that such ai man would be ' *_knif ed in' the
camp of his friends." Hoping to conciliate
these contending factions, desiring to offend
nobodv, they nominate for the highest oflSce in
the State a figure-head, an almost unknown
man, whose whole life, whose every public act,
has been in direct opposition to all the time-
honored principles of the Democratic Party.
Mr. R. M. Bishop, the Democratic nominee Ifor
Governor of Ohio, is to-day, without exception,
the most unpopular man in the State. It is im-
possible to exaggerate, almost impossible to
describe, the feqling of disgust with which the
news of his nomination was received by the
rank and file of the Democracy. At first leaders
in the party aske<l — dissatisfied because they had
to ask — *• ^"ho i9 he ?" Now they make no more
inquiries, knowing that the less there is said
ahout Mr. Bishop's record the better chance he
will have of securing votes. Try as they will,
however, they cannot conceal the fact that they
have made a fatal mistake.
The brief histpry of Mr. Bishop's somewhat
imeventfxil life proves this beyond all question.
He is a CTf'cer. lives in Cincinnati, and was ex-
pected to carry, by reason of his personal popu-
larity, the thickly inhabited County of Hamil-
ton. This he cannot do. for 'it is now under-
stood that he is least liked where he is best
known. His friends in the convention — and he
was supported by .some of the most disreputa-
ble wire-pullers I and political tricksters in the
State — talked a. great deal about his immense
wealth and his ability and willingness to
"bleed freely." But even in this the Demo<rratic
faithful have be^n deceived. It is now known
that Mr. Bishop's " immense wealth" amounts
to just about S200.000. and he has already
Stated in confldefnce. to some of the dear friends
who approached I him on the subject, that he is
not willing to spend — indeed, that he will not
spend— more thian $0,000 or $S,000 in the
coming campaign. This has been a terrible
blow to the politifal wire-pullers already men-
tioned, for" they know from experience
iJtat $10,000 i would not pay for the
whisky that j mu.^t flow before even
Hamilton County can be carried for the
Democracy. And just here I must not forget
to mention that! R. M. Bishop, the Demoip;tic
candidate for Oovemor- of Ohio, is a lea*.ing
liifht in the temperance movement, a friend of
the cnisaders I There ia no State in the Union
where the liquor question enters so much into
politics and political duscussions as it does here.
The flght between the temperance and antj-
teniperance petiple, the Sunday lager and anti-
.Suntlay lager parties, Ls continually going on
in one form or another. Naturally, the
rank and file of the Democracy, the masses
of the party, are against the temperance move-
ment, and the Germans, who hold the balanco
of political power in Ohio, are to a man in favor
of ** Sunday lager " and ** non-interference with
personal rights." By nominating Mr. Bishop
the Democrats have thrown away any chance
they had of securing this immense vote, for, in
addition to being one of the~ieaders in the
present temperance movement, he still boawts
that while be was 3Iayor of Cincinnati the Sun-
day laws were strictly enforced, and the sale
of liquor or beer on the Sabbath rcnderod
impossilile. The Germans of Hamilton County
have not forgotten what some of them .still call
" dot dry time mit Bishop." But it is not alone
because of his temperance work that the Dem-
ocratic nominee is disliked by the Germans.
They and all other foreign-bom citizens of Ohio
have still more weighty causes of complaint
against him. He was one of the bitterest and
most uncompromising leaders in the old Ameri-
can Party, and in 1859 was elected to the chief
magistracy of Cincinnati on the Know Nothing
ticket- He is now a Trustee of the South-
em Railroad, and on account of that
connection not particularly well liked by
upright business men, who believe that when
people invest $16,000,000 they should have
something to show for their money. Jabez W.
Fitch, of Cuyahoga, who is on the ticket for
Lieutenant-Governor, is somewhat more widely
if not better known than Sir. Bishop. He is
called "General" here by people who want to
be amusing, and is noted principally because of
his strong dislike for the smeU of gunpowder.
During the war this constitutional ailment was
a sad trouble to " General*' Fitch, and prevented
him from winning that glory on the battle-field
which might otherwise nave been his.
The platform adopted by the Democratic Con-
vention is quite as open to criticism as are the
candidates who stand upon it. Of course, this
fact will- have no weight with the masses of
ignorant men who go to make up the main
strength of the Democratic Party.. A3a**Georgia
Cracker" Congressman once said of his poor
white constitnenta. '*They can't readany way, so
it makes no difference how much the newspapers
abuse me." While this is tme, however, I find
that some of the more respectable Democrats,
thinking men, who believe m the partv and be-
long toit from principle, are exceedingly indig-
nant at the ludicrous way in which the resolu-
tions have been drawn and the almost grotesque
differences which exist between them and the
character and records of the candidate ytiio are
to present them to the people. For ii^tance,
Mr, Bishop, where he is known at all, Is chiefly
remarkable for Ms interference with the per-
sonal rights and modes of life of the people
of Cincinnati : yet the Democratic platform, is
moet explicit in its opposition to all sumptuary
laws. Fraud is denounced, and the Republican
Party charged with fraudulent practices. Yet,
in the very same article, almost in the same sen-
tence, the new Ohio registry law is denounced
as oppressive. The ioke of this, if I may use-
the expresokm, iriU be better appreciated when
I ^itia stated that tha vcoet Uv rofarrad to vm
passed expressly for the pmrpose of guarding
against such wholesale frauds as those
committed by the Democratic repeaters
last Fall. I One of the resolutions
compliments the President in a roundabout
sort of a way, and congratulates the coimtry
because he has adopted what is called the Dem-
ocratic policy regMding the Southern States.
In another resolution, however, the framers of
the patflh-work platform, evidently repenting of
this semi-indorsement of Mr. Haves, denounce
him in strong terms for his use of the regular
troops, and declare in a vague kind of way
that such use of the nailitary is ** im-
justifiably destructive of the rights of the
people and the States," This remarkable ex-
pression must, of course, relate to the commend-
able promptness with which the Administration
sent troops to Maryland on the recent requisi-
tion of John Lee Carroll, the Democratic Gov-
ernor of that State. It will be remembered that
a nice regard for constitutional law prevented
the President from complying with a similar
request made by S. B. Packard, the le-
gally elected Governor of Louisiana, and
Daniel H. Chamberlain, the Republican chief
magistrate of South Carolina. Regarding the
money plank in the platform, there is much
dissatisfaction. The convention, in adopting it
tried to please Everybody, and succeeded in
pleasing nobody. In short, the Democrats have
made a blunder all round, and if the Republi-
cans will forget national politics for a time,
cease disfcussing the acts of the Administration
at Washington, and ^o to work with unity of
Surpoae and a real desire to win, they can carry
ihio by an old time majority. H. C.
TSE NEW CHARTER OAK LIFlT.
REPORT TO THE LOCAL POLICY-HOLDERS ON
jTHE CONpITIOK OF THE COMPANY — HOW
'THE NETy BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL
BE ORGANIZED — EXTRAVAGANT EXPENDI-
TURES LOPPED OFF.
Special Dispatch to the Xnir- York Times,
Hartford, Conn., July 31.— A special
meeting of the local policy-holders of the Charter
Oak Life was held this evening, to hear the
report of their committee previously appointed
to look into the affairs of the company. A fa-
vorable report was presented, in which it was
stated that at an early day the Board of Directors
would be increased to 10, and the policy-holders
would be asted to select two members, so that
they will then^ for the first time, have a voice
in the management of the company's affairs.
Gov. Jewell informed your correspondent this
afternoon that he issued orders reducing the
office force one-half, giving those remaining
33 per cent, less pay. and by various oth<»r
economies had rednci^d the annual expenses of
officers, clerks, and office items, from $100,000
per annum- to less than $50,000. An illustra-
tion of the extravagant salaries that havo be^n
paid is that of the colored janitor, who had
$1,500 a year. A statement is circulated that
the Sp«*cial Insurance Commission appoioteil by
the Legislature is now preparinc or will soon
prepare, a supplementary report on the Charter
Oak's condition that wiU be of an unfavorahle
character. Mr. Cleveland, of the Commission.
says that thei statement is made without au-
thority. It isi qtiito erident that pven if such a
report .sho^ild ! be made, the company is now too
strongly backed by responsible men to bo hurt
by it. i _

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

Boston, Mass., July 31. — Sixteen hun-

ordering the mobilization of the Army. The

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

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

from the Viceroy of India, dated .luly HI. gives

prospects than previous reports. He says that
in Burmah the rain has been sufTicient, and
the condition of agriculture is satisf.-wtory.
In Bencral some districts still want rain.
but general apprehensions are removed. In
the north-west provinces and Oude th(> drought
causes anxiety, but tliere is still tinio for an av-
erage harve:«t. In tho R.-ijputana rain
is wanted in parts, but tho pros-

THE MECHAJaCS* AND TRADERS' SAVINGS
SAR.ATOGA, N. Y.. July 31.— In the Ellis
trial to-day, at the opening of the sesdon of the
Senate, Mr. Best, Receiver of ^ the Mechanics'
and Traders' Bank, corrected some points of his
testimony regarding the time required to ascer-
tain the condition of tho bank. On his cross-
examination, by Mr. McGuire, the witness said
tho depreciation of stocks caused the insolvei|cy
of the bank ; the bank held Southern States
stock that had not paid the interest ; he said
that sometimes a rlerk would take 15 hours to
investigate a einpl » dividend. Isaac Smith, a
cU-rk in the department, produced the report of
the Mechanics' and Traders' Bank for January,
1S7*?. It was, he said, found to be incorrect,
and returned to have the schedule filled out ;
the President of the bank brought the
answer up to Albany and saw Ellis ; it was
not unusual to return reports for correction.
An additional report came Feb. 2t> : it was sent
by the Commis-sioner to Examiner Reid in
March: in Maybe reported, and in June Ellis
had the Attorney-General proceed to close the
bank ; the item of $1..^00 in the report as paid
to Examiners meant the sum paid two Trustee.^.
H. L. Lamb, Deputy Superintendent, was called,
and produced the commis.sion appointing Reid
to examine the Merchants' and Traders' Bank
on P'eb. 12, IsTiJ. A letter of March 8 snows
a deficiency. The report states that there is a
deliciency in the a^i-sets of $J*l,8t*?? 3J<, and in
Xlx*' income of .$30..54ft IS. .Several letters
written during the examination were read. He
told Mr. Ellis that he diil not think
the b.^nk officers ■were honest, aiid read a letter
to tile Attorney-General, datod June 1. lS7«i.
to close the bank. IMr. R«;!d. Bank Examiner,
was called, and testified that he had several con-
versations with Mr. Ellis in rejrard to the condi-
tion of the bank. Frederick P. B^-llamy was
sworn, and testified that he, in behalf of two
Tnistees, entered complaint against the bank to
the Attorney-General. Sen.'itor ilcCarthy asked
Mr- Lamb if it were possible for the Superin-
tfi.tleiit or deputy- of the Bank Department to
have an actual knowle<ljre of the r^olvency or in-
solvency of all the savings banks in the Slate.
Mr. i^amli replied that their only kufiwledge is
received thr-nigh the bank report.**. H.Me
Ivin^rsley. (Me.rk of Albany County, was sworn,
and testified that no complaint against the
Mi'chanics' and Traders' Savings Hank had been

the bank ; canno^ say if Ellis received the letter
of July 20 until he came frm his vacation or
not ; so far as witness kuew it had been custom-
ary with tlic dcpartntont before Ellis* time to al-
low weak banks to go on and make up the defi-
ciencies.
Senator Gerard asked if any special examina-

The witness .said it showe<l large expenses-i He

.selves and iK'Come solvent. The witness replieil
in tlir' alfimiative, and sjiid he tlioucrht tho
Abiii;;doii-S(iuare Bank diil not havo tlio right
kind of Tnist^-fS to save it.
In reply to Senator McCiirthy, ^tr. Lamb sai*!
that circumstances might favor allowing a weak
bank to jjo on to recuperation. Jlr. McCarthv
s.i)d he thouffbt it wroncr to allow it. In reply
t*i Senator I'rince, 3Ir. I.<nmb said he tried t<^i
sav(! weak banks. In n^ply to Air. Chapman
witness said it w:i»i the policy of the department
to put a bank in the hands of a Receiver when
a deticiency was not ma<lu good. Witness said
banks liad an. available fund which- they used
for investment in certain stocks othcrwi.soi pro-
hibited, if bank,<t-used too much that way, they
were checked. The Senate then adjourned.

road, to Gen. Siegfried, states that the rioters at]
Plymouth have taken possession of the road,
and refuiSe to allow any trains to pa.ss. The .Su-
perintendent expected that troops would be wwit
to quell the riot. This dispatch was transmit-
ted to Gov. Hartranf t. at Pittsburg:, and th»
result will no doubt bo the Sending of .
troops to the coal regions. Gov. Jlartranft
to-day telejrraphed t<j Gen. Siegfried to know if
the bridge at Beading had been rebuilt, intend-
ing to send troops by way of that citv. As tlm
nQW bridge is not yet ready for travel, troops
will have to be sent by way of Northnmberland,
and they are liable to be stopped" at Plymouth
by the blockaded road. Active preparations are
being made by the military in this
vicinity to move at a moment's notice. At
head-quarters all is bnstle and activity, and soon
the seat of war maybe shifted to the coal re-
gions. The Eirfith Regiment, CoL Gobln, and
the Seventh, CoL Caldwell, are waiting for
marching orders at this moment, and from ap-

needed going to work. The road is now work-
iiijr I«eiween Baltimore and Parkersburg. but no
Ir.Mzht trains have yet moved on the Wheeling

that the three switches ot the main track were
unl'.fked and thrown open. The locks were
fniiiul on the track near bv. A portion of the

AKD NO FDBTHEE TROUBLB AT CHICAGO.
Chicago, July 31. — Tho TJhited States
Circuit Court here disposed of «ight Peoria
Bailroad rioters in a summary mannar to-day.
These men were charged with having interfered
to prevent the operations of the Toledo» Peojjia
and Warsaw Railroad during the late stirike, and
riotous demonstrations. The road was placed
in the hands of a Receiver several . months ago,
anditwasheld that the rioters 'were guilty of
contempt of court in obstructing the trains, in
that they had intimidated conductors, driven
engineers from their engines, and placed -pb-
strtictions in the way of freight trains
at Peoria. The rioters were James
Mack, James Ennis, George | Hanip-
ton, Monroe Jeffries, Julius Silhausen,
Kicholas Hoflman, Philip Kerber, alttd Julius
Soberer. It was admitted by Ennis and Slack
that the charges were substantially true; that
they were carried away by the excitement and
did wrong. The testimony that f oEowed showed,
that these two men were the leaders
of the rioters. Judge Drummond passed
sentence upon the rioters by giving Mack and
Ennis four months each in the County Jail, and
the othea-s two months. Imposing, also, a iine on
all. Upon liberation they 'will be indicted bv
the Grand Jury in Peoria, and niade to stand
further trial for their acts.
There is little or no excitement here at pres-
ent in the matter of the strikes. The railroad
men to-day are watching carefully the outcome
of the rumors regarding the action of the en-
gineers on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Road. It, was reported that they would in-
sist upon an increase of ' wages, but
up to 10:30 to-night nothing; definite
was heard concerning it The strike,
so far as the Chicago lumbermen ar^ concerned,
is at an end. Most of the employes have re-
turned to work at the old rate of $1 25 per
day. EieRular troops are still on guard at the
water and ga^ works. A movement lis on foot
among prominent manufacturers of furniture to
reduce the number of working hours from ten
to eighti which is equivalent to increasing the
wages 20 per cent
The extent of the camasre, so Rraphicallv de-
tailed by some papers last Friday, may be
gleaned from the fact that five ccrtifipates only
have been thus far granted for burial of persons
killed in the riots. Gov. CuUom has
adricesi from the Sheriffs of ^hose coun-
ties iif this State where the recent dis-
turbances occurred to the efiject that
all riote^ will be arrested and brought to the
notice oif the Grand Juries. Twenty-sis men
who interfered with a road in the hands of a
Receivar of the United States Court were on
trial in Springfield to-day.

lice McDonongh to show caiise why he holds Al-
bert Curlin, one of the leaders of th4 Working

the 'writ* and made it returnable on 'Wednesday.
Circuit iittomey Beach has addresied a letter
to Chief McDonough explaining the jffense of
Curlin, lind quoting the law applicable to the
case, frcm which it appears that the prisoner
and others now under arrest are guilty of felony
instead of simple misdemeanor, the extreme
penalty for which is five years' irapri-sonment
in tho Penitentiary and a fine of ifli.tKlO. Writs
of habeas corpus have also been applied for in

C'oLt'MBus, Ohio, July 31. — The news that
Gov. Young had recalled the military has evi-
dently had the effect of throwing the riotous
strikers into dismay, as but few of them have
been s^en about the freight yards to-day, ana
the railway managers have had everything their
own way. No freight trains, however, were
^sent out on the Indianapolis or Eastern Divis-
ions of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
St. Lotus lines, but imperishable freight
is beiiig received for<ft shipment east and
west. The Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis
Company is preparing for a full resumption of

cinnatilcompaiiies have gone to Newark, where
trouble! '^ appi-ehended as soon as freight
trains ire regularly resmned. Quite a num-
ber of' the leaders in the disturbances here
were arraigned to-day and assessed heavy fines
or sentjto jail on long sentences. Vigorous ef-
forts will be made to arrest all strikers who may
hereafter attempt to inte^'f ere with trains. It
is stated that trains will begin runniugregularly

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

came up and pushed the boys out ; these men were
very abusive.
Willis Gardner, Captain Company B, Sixth Regi-
ment, testified : Started from the armory with Com-
pany I. Witness reiterated the testimony with re-
gara to stone throwing and pistol firing,
and continued : Heard Col. Peters tell tha man

The offieiall of the PeimsylTani» lUlIioad
Company ill thU City stated to a reporter of The
Times yesterdia^ that they were wholly ignorant aa
to the preseins I relations between that company and
the shippen and consignees of the freight that was
destroyed [by I t^e rioters at Pittshnrg. They be-
lieved, howiveh that no conflict will arise between
the partioflj zoenfionied, for the reason that the
management of the railroad company is 'wise and
generous. Mr. Samuel Goodman, Assistant General
Freight Agent of I the New- York Central Railroad,
said that, ui the evfint of trouble between the Penn-
sylvania iEailroad Company aud its present
patrons, the New- York C5entral would make
no special endeavor to procure the freight
bnsiness fit the Pennsylvania Company between
Philadelphia and the West. It would not refrain,
however, on account of any obligation imposed by
the " pooling" system. That s\'8tera applied only to
New- York freight. The Central Road gave special
attention cftilyjtb business to and from this City, and
while it wdyldi not^reject business at any other point
it did not Mend! to work it up. The road had
communicatioh with Philadelphia by two routes
— over this | I<ehigh Valley and the Dela-
ware, Lackawanna and Western Roads from
Weedfportl i and Syracuse. They werfe formed
merely fot_ the accommodation of th^ Western
shippers of imb ''■— tr.^1, but whatever freight is
offered at or tor Philadelphia for transmission over
those routes will be accepted. Of course, Mr. Grood-
man said, no freight would be offered to the Central
at Philadelphia for carriage to New- York, as the dis-
tance by their route is too great. Shippers aro not
likely to seiid their freight over 500 miles by way of
the Central Road when they can transmit It to > ew-
Yorkby wiy olf; the Pennsylvania Road, a distance
from Philadelphia lot only 96 miles.

safe for the I present to withdraw the Militia. He
cotild not sajr whether the general condition of peace

FnhrxOie San Frartciaeo AUa. July 24.
In this c: ty i here is not even the flimsy excuse

the East. 5 lut he lawless classes are here, as they
areinaUcrialiities ; and for want of any other
rallj-ing cry tije;' last |night rai.<!ed tho worn-out howl
about the C lint se. A gang of men and boy.i. vari-

ing and dtihiut. throbgh aomeof our street*-, leaving
in their patt the wiW-ks of all houses occupied by
Chinese. On Gear^-, Post, and Lupont streets, and
in the nortnemjpart of of the city us well as south of
murket-slrejet t^iey thus wantonly destroyed private
properly. ' They seeined to move vith a defined plan.
Their first act was tO fire a house on the corner of
Leavenwoifl|h aid Geary streeis, e\'lileatJy with the
intention tir^ dndvv tht main body of the Police force
to that point, and so leave their way open to China-
town propM. This scheme failed however, the Po
lice reserving themselves for the main point of at-
tack, and so suoctoding in finally heading off the mob.
The hooflhim element w»8 drawn lo«ether-by the
working i^icu's mass-meeting, and it was at the new
Citv liall where the leaders got their fnUowers to-
gether and laid their plans for the criminal acts
which were subHcqncntly romiuitted by them. While
the meotint was in session, this gang .started away
with yells and, shouts, fully intent ujmn tlie hellish
work which they accompiis^hed. 1 p -McAllister,
along Leayjenworth and other utreetfi^hey rushed,
singing, snpatiig, sWearing. and yelling. A grocery
store on the comer of Taylor and Post was ransacked
for liquorJ pud other places in the neighborhuod suf-
fered froiti thtir depredations. On the south-west
corner of tveArenw-orth and Gear\' street.s was a
two-story ]ran|e building with a basement. Th*^
b!u<ement i wiis occupied as a Chinese wash-
house anij the upper part as a fr:iit store and
dwelling. The vicious g^ng rushed Into tho wash-
house, beat the|Chinese inmates wlio hod not effect-
ed a retreat scattered the clothing upon the floor,
smashed th • wilndciws, battered down the doom, and
broke the *i 1 lamps agaiust the wa'ls. A portion of

the content > iulo the street. ITie burning oil set the
buildiuf: on firej and; in a few minuten tho house was
in a blaze.] An|olannof fire was turned in, and the
departmcnit came speedily upon the irround- The
inmates ofj ' he hpper part of tho building were res-
cued with pr<>iat ; trouble, and it was onlvbythe
greatest exrrtii^sthiat a lady who had retired for the
night was 'laved. Another piece of deviltry prac-
ticed was in cutting the hose leading from the on-
pines. Thiii wais done in several places, scarcely one-

wildest species ^ Indian yells. On the south side of
Gearvstrep^^, above Powell, is a Chinese wash-house,
with large glass windows and door-.. In five minutes
after theaej wreicheslrutihed Into the place the estab-
lishment was completely gutted ,- ov-.y pane of glass
was broken tho doors wrenched from laetr liinges ;
the clothes which hsd just been washed trampled

broken to pieces. The inntates, apprised of their
danger, had, already fled and thus saved themselves.
There can fao no reHSonahJe doubt that they would
have beeu uiurdered had they remained. Another
wash-house ou Post-street, near Taylor, was similarly
treated, ai|d one of the proprietors was beaten badly
on the street. I
An attack waKmade on the Gibson Chinese Mis-
sion, No. 916 [Washington-street, and stones were
fired at the wiiidows. A Chinese wash-house on Pa-
cific-street jnear Mason, was attacked ; another on
Geary, near Joj>es ; Tyler, between Leavenworth and
Hyde : Hyllie, between OFarrell and Genr>-. and Fell.
near Market- The wash-house at No. 500 Post-
street was assailed, and the adjoining plumbers*
store, No. 508,, owned by Kearny Bros., was brol^eu
into, the mob arming themselves with the brass im-
plements ib the windows and on the shelves. Some
Chinamen] fieeing from an attack on their premises,
and closely, pureed by a mob. took refuge in the
Erocery stpre at the north-east comer of Turk and
eavenwortb sljreets, and the crowd following took
possessloni of tihe store and turned their attention
from the Chinese to the liquors, and plundered tho
place befoVe th'jy left it.

In every instance the Police acted with the utmost
promptness and reoolution, and were posted in every
part of the town, with a strong reserve at the City
Hall, and their presence in good force had a whole-
some effe<!t in ohecking the perverse elements in the
crowds- The entire department was on duty, tmder

observable that the hoodlums, from 15 to 30, were

with them out of mere curiosity, entered Dupont-
street from^ntter. 'and rushed alo-ng toward Oilua-
town. A waah-hoajBe -was enconnter«d on the east
side of the street, nortii of Bush, and it quickly pre-
sented the appearance of an exploded powder-roill.
The advance, composed entirely of the worst ele-
ment, was stopped at Califonua-street by Capt.
Douglas and his posse. An order to charge up the
"hill was given, and in one minute some 200 of the
gang were being rapidly driven up to Stockton -street,
where the other posse took them in charEO and drove
them toward ^lorket. A charge down California, to-
ward Keomy, and another on Dapont scattered the
rioters considerably, dividing them up in four sepa-
rate bodies, and rendering them much less to be
dreaded. All the comers of Ihipont. from Bush to
Washinston, were kept clear, and if three or more
pedestrians came along they were ordered off the
street. Tho excitement daring the charges of the
Police was intense, but fortunately pothing serious
occurred. At 11 o'clock half the force was marched
back to the City Hall, and Dupont-street resumed its
ustial qnletude— more than the usual quietude,^ in
fact, for not a single person ventured on the street
dnrine the night,
In the afternoon. Brig.-Gen. John McComb. com-
manding the Second Brigade, N. G. C., received a
letter from H. H. Ellis, Chief of Police, notifying him
that there were serious apprehensions of a not in the
evening, and It was necessary that prompt action
shouM he taken to suppress it. He therefore asked
that the troops be held in readiness to meet any re-
quisition which might bo made for troops to suppress
the riot accordInK to law. In accordnnee with this
request Gen. McComh issued orders to the Colonels
commanding the three infantry regiments and to tho
commanding ofificers of the cavalry battalion and ar-
tillery company to hold themselves in readiness at
their respective armories to march on a moment's no-
tice. The orders were carried out to the letter, and
all the companies, with full ranks, were on duty until
a late hour in tho night.
aOT. SA.RTRA.NFr8 POSITION.
The Pittsburg (Penn.) Commercial of MornJay
thus reports Gov. Hartranft of that Stato :
"Ton can say to the people, if you desire to, that
my position is just about this : I am here to see that
tho peace is preserved I am here to see that the
railroad compaiifes — ^who have applied to me as citi-
zens for help— get back their property, and I propose
to see, so far as my authority goes, that no man, if
he wishes to work, is prevented from doing so
through fear of a mob, or any intimidation. Further
than that I cannot eo. As I have said, any contract
the railroads and their employes may make is their
private business, and I've no more .right to interfere
than vou have." '
" ^"^ell, Governor, In case of intimidation, how
would yoU act ? '
" Just about this way : If an engineer comes to
me and says he i» willing and anxious to work, but
fears personal injurj- while running his train, and he
desires a guard, I will send a guard with him — a
Fiard strong enough to protect him— and that ^ard
11 back with all the power of .the State. That a not
sending .soldiers to mn a xreXn at all. It's only a re-
sponse to a citizen's call for protection — a protection
which tho laws guarantee to ever>" man. black or
white, rich or p< or. 1 sent a puard out fhis morning
with the engineer who took out the first freight train.
He asked for a guard and his request was granted.
They went as far as Deny, and there a new guard
was put on and the others came back That's
the way I propose to protect them all the way
through, if they desire It -, but I hope and think it
wUl not be .at all necessary," as I have too much confi-
dence in the good sense and peaceable disposition of
the working men of our State to believe that they
really desire to violate any of its laws. My duty, as
I conceive it now, la simply to see that the jmbllc
peace is preserved, and that each man in the com-
munity has all the rights accorded him which are hi*
under the law and the Constitution. That's platn
enough. I have nothing to do with this or any other
railroad company or corporation and its employes.
They make their o\vn contract?, and enforce them as
they see fit, provided the public peace is preserved.
I have nothing to do with the private disputes be-
tween men and their employers.'

To tJie EmployeM of the Philadelphia and Readinfj

I can n<i in-ngHr resist the inclination I have had for

lence, and the manly sense you ha'>*e sh<jwTi in re-
fiisting the insidioua influences of thoee who have
been ursine yoii to arrav yourselves against tbo
compfinv. I feel allthat'l here express the more
keenly t'rom the fact that I am well aware that the
railroad men have a just cau:*e of grievance
ou account of the delay in the pnjineiit of
their wages for the mouths' of May and .Tune, wliieh
delay I regretted very much, and immediately upon
mv return from Europe I devoted myself to the
subject of meeting the b^ck pay. The wages for
May have n<fw been paid. The paj-ment of June
wages will be commenced on or before Aug. 1, and
on or before the 25th of August the payment of July
wages will be commenced- Both pays will be com-
pleted as rapidly as the pajTuaster's force can dis-
tribute tho money, and thereafter, if the traffic of tiie
road is not interrupted, each month's wages will be
paidpromily. In conelasioa. I can only say that it
is but simple ju.<tice to you. all that I should rauke
this public acknowleiigt-ment of your braver>- aud
fidelity, and I can assure you that your onduct is
highly appreciated . by nil the m;ma;:ers of the com-

THE LOSS AT PITTSBVRG.
The Pittsbnrg (Penn.) Commercial tninks that
that city ought not to be made to bear the expense of
the damage done by the rioters there. It talks
thus on the subject : '" Of .course, und^r the specific
law we have. Allegheny County is legally responsible
for the damage done ; Vnit we wish to urge upon .our
fellow -citizens In the State that she is not morally
respon-sihle, and ou:jht not to be made to bear alone
the loss i:iiiicted. The strike was but pan of a gen-
eral movement, reaching over eight States. It was
not a local riot, it is true, we were caught unawares,
but it is nevertheless true that the State authorities'
managed tho affair. Ouij SherifF acted in concert
T\nth them, and not on his own judgment alone. lie
did not precipitate the conflict that led to iUe- after
incendiarism. It wa.s the result of the firing by the
Philadelphia troops, this being caii.ied by the
attack upon them. The arson and outrajje
here, caused, beyond donht, the reaU?atinn of
the real character of the strike, and that revulsion
of feeling that saved other cities from fire. l*ltts-
burg was the fierj" scapegoat for the country. Our
sufferings saved others, in that it aroused them to
preparation. And much as has been said of our
B\Tnpathy for the strikers at the first, it was no more
than prevailed over the entire countr>', if we may
trust the eipressions of the press. In view, there-
fore, of these farts, we bold, and shall urge, that the
Legislature enact a law taking this loss to the State,
and relieving Allegheny County from the necessity
of bearing the entire ' burden.' The rounty is not
morally responsible, as thouch it were a local riot.
The can-ws were widespread, but tho worst phase
concentrated here. We must suffer most in any
event. But to pat the entire cost on us would not
only be inequitable, but would bankrupt the county."
A PLEA FOR PITTSBURG.
To tfu Editor 0/ The XetmYork Time$ :
As Pittsburg is the target for the newspapers,
it would be well to call attention to some facts, the
consideration of which will tend to mitigate the de-
nunciations.
The business of the city is not commercial, but
almost wholly manufacturing, and hence the greater
portion of the population are laborers and thoso
wh« in their business are ^dependent upon them,
such a«! retail grocers, provision dealers, liquor
sellers, &c. Every class of workmen havo their
tmions, and are, in a measure, always organized for
strikes, and on this occasion promptly united their
forces with the raUroad strikers- Thus tho mob
were prepared for just such an emergency, whether
contemplated or not. When it Is considered that the
miners are a powerful force of themselves,
and a very dangerous class, and within
easy access of the city, it is not surprisijyr that an
immense crowd of ail sons of people were gathered
witliin two or threo days of the first outbreak, ^^1th
such a crowd any ordinarv city or county authorities
were powerless. Ko one here or elsewhere ever con-
templated such a state of affairs, and anybody that
would have predicted such a mob would have been
regM^ed as crazy. Our population being so largelyl
made up of workmen, our city officers and military
would bo raorei or less in sympathy. In fact, some of
the officers and many of the men in some of the mili-
tar)' companies called out to quell the mob declared
openly that they would not fire upon their friends.
Some of tho men were railroad strikers. The Mayor
of the city was certainly in sympathy with the
strikers and refused to even add to the Police force,
which had been reduoed nearly one half but a few
weeks since. Tho object of this communication is onlv
to call attention to the peculiarity of Pittsburg in regard
to the character of its population, and not to exten-
uate or excuse the blunders and inefficiency of those
in authority. A MANTPACTURER.

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

GHf. HOWARD PREPABIKa TO PUBSUB CSIET
JOSEPH -WITH 5,<i00 MZJJ- — THE BOtJTE — *
WARX SPBIKQ -IKDIAK SCOUTS.
Sa2J FrakciscOj CaL, July 31.— A Port-
land dispatch says Gen. Howard is at pTesent at
Kandah, awaiting the arrival of Major Sanford.
As soon aa that officer joiss him he will take all
the available forco and push vigorously after
Joseph aftd White Bird, who hare already
crossed Bitter Root Moimtalns hy way of the
Lolo trail. He will go throtigh to Mlssotila as
rapidly as hia command can move, and he will
have in the neighborhood of 5,000 men. An-
other force, tmder tfhe command . of . Gen.
Wheaton, will leave Fort Lapwai, and, mov-
ing north, pass through the Spokane
country, and cross over into Montana through
the Sahou Pass. After crossing the moun-
tains the troops will push down ■* to
Missoula, where they will join Gen. Howard. It
is expected that Howard and Wheaton*s detach-
ments will reach that point simultaneously.
Wheaton will command about 450 or 500 troops.
This detour through the Spokane country will
be made at the request of Indian Inspector Wat-
kins. There are a number of tribes squatted
through that region who wish to be placed on &
reservation. Inspector Watkins is authorized
to select a suitable reservation, and to locate
the Indians. His principal object in passing
through that country is to make a personal in-
spection of the character and disposition of the
Indians, the nature of these regions, and to des-
ignate where a reservation is to be located. It
is also thought that the marching of a large
force of troop.s through there will have a very
beneficial effect on the Indians. Most of
them are peocaably disposed toward the whkea,
whUo some are inclined to be turbulent The
detachment will not leave Lapwai for a week or
more. ALny straggling bands of hostiles that
may have broken away from Joseph and White
Bird, and who may attempt to reach the Spokane
country, will be in t^«rcepted by Gen. Wheaton
and cut ofiP. This movement wilV it is believed,
crush out the strength of the hostiles and bring
peace to the whole region of country west of
the Bitter Root mountains, and with the capture
or annihilation of Joseph's and Whit© Bird's
bands of renegades, bring the war to a close.
Col. Green, with a force of cavalry, will remain
In and about Kamiah to protect the settlements
and t<> cut off .straggling squads of Indians.-
* Capt. Wilkinson received yesterday a dispatch
in regard to procuring Warm Spring Indian
scouta to accompany Gen. Howard through the
Lolo trail to 31untana. Most of these Indians
have gone after game and fish, but those who
remain have called a council for Monday the
30th, and will send word as to the result on
Wednesday. If any scouts are to be obtained
they will come to the Dalles as soon as possible,
and be taken to the front. Gen. Howard having
dispensed with the services of a part of his scout-
ing force, is very desirous of sectiriug a number
of Warm Spring scouts. These scouts, it will bo
remembered, performed gallant and effective
services during the Modoc war.
CHASE AND HATES,
AK" rXTEKESTING PERSON'Ali REMpHSCENCE—
J THEIR JOURXET TOGETHER Es THE EARLY
DAYS OF THE AXTI-SLAVEaT AGITATIOX.*'
From the CUveland (Ohio) Leader, July 30.
** I was riding.*' said a prominent gentleman
of tliis city to a Leader reporter, "one September
oay during the early part of tho '30e over the hills
and through the deep cullies of the southern part of
the State in company with Salmon P. Chase. He-
had already been United States Senator for a single
term, and wa.s then engaged. I think, In his first can-
vass for the Governorship. The distance which we
had'io make was a comparatively short one. but our
mode' of travel %vas tliat of the old-fashioned stare-
coach, and we were necessarily a long time on uie
road. Mr. Chase WIS always a fine conversational-
ist, but upon this occasion it has always seemed to
me that be surpassed himself. We Had proceeded
but a short distance when he introduced a sedate.
though I thought a rather retiring young man, with
these words:
■* 'Mr. .S., allow me to present my young friend,
Mr. Hayes, of Cincinnati. He Is traveling with me
this week, and we are together expounding the po-
Uti'-al principles of our party.'
"Pretty soon." continued the gentleman, "the
conversation turned upon Mr. Chase's favorite topic
at that time, viz : the suppression of slavery. He
had then loner been known as the champion of equal
riphts. and had gained much fame throngliout the
country as tlie counseL in company with Hon. W.
H. Seward, of th© ner'^ccuted Van Zandt^ who had.
from principle, sold, his slaves in Kentucky and
moved upon the free soil of Ohio, near Cincinnati.
Here he was arrested under the Fugitive Slave law,
on the charge of harboring runaway negroes, and
the case wks carried to the Supremo Court
and becrvme onp of the celebrated cases of the coun-
try. Vaa Zandt received his reward for this perse-
ciiiion at the hands of Mrs. Stowe. by being subse-
qnently made l!ie original of Van Tromp in Vncle
Tf-m'f:' Cabin. Mr. Cha?e was fuU of frhathe be-
lieved to be his mission, viz.: to fight slaverv.
' There is an end coming to all this injustice.' said
he. ' The Fugitive Slave law Ls felt by all classes to
he an outrage, nnd the violation of It is thought to
be praiseworthy hy the best people of the North. A
law of this kind c.in never stand. What the end
will be is hard to tell. How it will come cannot be
foretold : bur. that there is an inevitable conflict
between liberty and freedom — the North and the
South— is evident to anvone who studies carefully
the signs of the times. It may be accomplished by
the Uallot. but more likely tho bayonet will be
necessary.'
" And so the conversation ran on. ' Meanwhile,
young Mr. Hayes, a careful listener to every word,
seemed like the young Paul sitting at the feet of the
Great Gamaliel. He said but little, but seemed
greatly Interested and profited.
•■Co'uid these two men have seen the future of their
lives that Autumn day. In the rude Southern Ohio
stagecoach, huw nwe-struck they must have been at
the contemplation. The older4o be twice Governor
of the great Stato of Ohio, a nromlueiit candidate be-,
fore the convention which nominitted Pre.^dent Lin-
euln for the first time, Secretary of tho Treasury in
the critical period of the great struggle for freedom,
which he outlined in his conversation, author of tho
wavs and means for making that struggle succt'ssf ul.
Chief-Justice of the United States, and at length to
die in a struggle for the Presidency. The younger
to take a leading part in the great struggle, to oe
also t^vice Governor of Ohio, and at length. as,Presl-
dent of the United States, propound a policy which
shall prove the healing balm of tho wounds created
by that struggle.'' _ J
THE TELEPBOXE AXD ITS VSES.
"The latest form of Prof. Bell's telephone,"
says the Boston Transcript^ "has the whole ma-
chine, both for speaking into and hearing out of, re-
duced to tho size and shape of an ordinary door-
knob. A shiny black piece of thiu iron the size of a
Srcent piece let into the surface of the mahogany
knob Is what does the talking. Concealed in the
wooden stem of the knob is the magnet from which
proceed the silk -covered wires which carry the viva
t">« message. There are two knobs, so thattwt> may
l!.=ten to a reply, or a single listener increase the
amount of voice heard by holding one of tho knobs to
each ear. A common electric bell operated by the
same wire, to call, completes the equipment. It
is still wonderful, notwithstanding the increa^g
commotmess of the telephone, to near a superin-
tendent or head of a house in the, city makmg in-
quiries and gi\*lng orders to his foreman out at the
mill or factory "20 miles away, and receiving
equally detailed answers and inquiriw for in-
stractions in return, such as could hardly havo
been transmitted by the 'piano-playing' tele-
graphs, so costly in tinie would conferences of
that length have been. So large has the de-
mand become that the price for the use of the tele-
phone, which the patentee does not sell, has just
gone up from $10 to -$30 a year. It seems to us, how-
ever, that the perfecting of this most beautiful and im-
portant invention lias yet further to go. A great ad-
vantage, besides speed and facility, over the old tele-
graph in dispensing with the transmitter and the
writing of the dispatch, is In the possibility of having
messases as private and confidential as personal
word-of-mouth communications. Telephony leav«\8
no written messages on file, and takes no third per-
son, in the shape of telegrapher, into the secrets of
the communication. Suite of all tho oaths that tele-
graphers take, it is well understood that no com-
munication of great imiKirtance on bu.'^lness or poli-
tics is snfe unless it lie in cipher. The telephone is
tlierefore essentially and theoretically a means of
whispering into partner's or henchman's ear what is
fur that ear alone. In practice, however, it is
as yet fotmd neceesaiy to speak tn a loud tone
and with slow enunclatiqn. which would preclude all
confidences that a man's clerks may not snare, unless
deafened walls and doors seclude him from the busi-
ness in which tho telephone is employed. This de-
f- ct is no doubt something that will disappear in the
develqpement of the invention, so rapid and success-
ful hlSerto. Meanwhile the gains over the former
means of comratmication are truly immense— im-
measurable, in fact, to present experienoe with the
groat revolutionizing Invention."

from the State.house at Baton Bonge, and afterward
deposited in the Berkshire Athenaeum, at Pittsfiald,

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

JVom on Omuional Corrt^pondent,
Keese Valley, Essex County, N. T.
Although it iA faahio&Able in certain quarters
to speak of the Adirondmck Mountains and wQdar-
neuas " the great State Park o£ New-York," it la not
to be sappoaed that a walk through, this region Is a
promesade of onaUoyed ease and comfort. Yet, very
few who have undt^rtaken' an excursion on foot
through this neighborhood ever regret it, in spit© of
real or iiuajfinary hardships. One of tlie most inter-
esting of tho so-called " round trips" mnong the
mountains horo is that known as that Keene Valley
fonte. This valley, whose fame as a resort increases
erery year, Is already interspersed with hotels and
boarding-houses, among which Mrs. Stetson's, at the
•OQthem portal of the valley, is prominent. Tho
plazxa of this house commands an uninterrupted view
of from 20 to 30 miles of the flnest vaDey and moun-
tain scenery in the country. Taking this house as a
■tarting point, and following the road over the hill
past the Beede House, we are sooninthe depths of tiie
forest. Though the trail is broad and perfectly
clear, it is In some places soft and miry, in
others rough and rugged. Yet the way Is full of at-
tractions. OfE to the right is heard the mosio of the
rushing Au Sable, as it dashes onward in its course to
Join its northern branch 30 miles away ; but even
this s^und is soon hushed as we penetrate deeper into
the woods, and nothing save the singing of an occa-
■loual brook disturbs tho cathedral-like stillness of
these "first temples" of God. The "winding
aisles " lead underneath the arches formed by the
orerhanging trees, thronch leafy vistas of ever-
changing forms, until, at the end of four miles, the
pedestrian is suddenly confronted with a scene of
rarest beauty. The path leaves the forest at the
summit of a bluff, at whose feet lies the Lower Ay.
Sable Pond, with Cohin, Saddleback, and Gothic
Mountains rising sheer up from the shores. The row
of dead trees which lines the western border of the
pond only serves to increase the peculiarly wild and
•olitary appearance of the place, whose whole aspect
presents a scene of Norwegian grandeur. This pond
is but a little over a znlle in length by less than half
a mile in breadth, um its shores are nearly impassa-
ble on foot. Gtiides generally have boats in readi-
OMS, however, to transport visitors. Vt'e were quick-
ly rowed to the upper end of the lake, stopping only
long enough to visit a cave on the eastern shore,
where snow and ice last the Summer through. Prac-
tical use Is made of this cavern as a store-^oom
•nd natural refrigerator by persons eucampiog for
any length of time on the shores of the upper pond.
The upper Au Sable Puuil. both ifrom size and
depth, deserves to be styled a lake, being about two
mUes long and of varying width, and is reached by a
carry of about a mile and a half in length. The land-
scape here is much more extended than at the lower
pond. ITpon the shores several camps have been
erected, the place being a favorite hunting and fish-
ing resort. It is surrounded by lofty {Kaks on all
aides, and Is so much preferred to its sister sheet that
the lower and upper ponds are known to the guides
by the local names respectively of Purgatory and
Paradise. After a refreshing night's rest upon a
hixurious couch of spruce leaves and branches in one
of these camps, our tramp was resumed In earnest
upon the following morning. A pleasant row of two
or three miles up the pond, and its inlet leads to the
trail of Mount Marcy. This trail is said to be not
more than seven miles loni;, and in several places is
traversed by " blind trails" leading nowhere in par-
ticular, made by the older guides for the purpose of
misleading and perplexing the green guides from the
hotels. We had already climbed a distance which,
from the time and exercise expended, seemed to have
far exceeded that length. For, In the grammatio Ian-
goage of the afotirlng local poet of the woods,
" We'd dim, and we'd ciim. und vre'd cliia.
Till it seem'-d w-? coiUJ t-limb no hlgh-r ;
"We saw summits of mountains beneath us.
But the top of our own seemed no higher '."
I turned to the guida to ask him how many yards
ft might be to the top. He seemed to anticipate the
question, for before I had asked it, he announced in
most encouraging accents : "Only two miles and a
half to the summit, and now yon'U hnve some real
climbing I" AuJ climbing we certainly had. of a
realism that eclipsed any ideal ever conceived. Over
fallen trees, through tangled thickets, over miry
ledges, and up ascents with an inclination like that of
the side of a house, cUn^ng to branches and tripping
over slippery roots, up. up, we go, till our voices
prow hollow in the increasing rarity of the air, tho
vegetation undergoing a gradual change uuill we can
look over the tops of trees ; a short scramble further.
and we have the proud satisfaction of standing on
the highest point in tho State of New- York, over
5,400 feet above the sea, being the first to make the
ascent this year.
The summit of Marcy is a barren rock, command-
ing a mognillcent outlook In all directions. Moun-
tains at our feet roll off to the horizon on every side,
and a delightful feature of the view consists in the
variety offered by the many lakes and ponds which
glimmer In the sunlight. ChamplaJn, Lower Sara-
Bao, Plaoid. Tearof-the- Cloud, {one of the sources of
the Hudson, at an elevation of 4.000 feet,) Calamity,
Wolf, Lower Au Sable — ^these are a few of thOi»o
plainly visible, while far off to the eastward the
Groen Mountains rest like a cloud on the horizon.
On an exceptionally clear day it Is said that the peaks
of the White Mountains, 150 miles distant, are
plainly visible. The position strikingly impresses us
like that of an isl&nd in the nddst of a green ocean.
These mountains, forming part of what la geologi-
cally the oldest portion of the globe, have, after being
■wept by the winds and storms of tens of thousands
of years, gradually assumed their present rounded
outlines, which give them the appearance of mam-
moth billows whose motion has been suddenly ar-
rested.
Tahawons, "the Cloud-piercer," as the Indians
called this sovereign peak, was a sufficiently suitable
Bame for the savage. The white man in his wisdom
haM, however, elected to call it after an obsolescent
politician, and in the same appreciative spirit Towar-
Ipondab, or " HiU, of Storms," has been re-
ehristened Mount Emmons. The example thus early
set has been assiduously followed by Mr. Colvia,
Superintendent of the Adirondack survey, in his
nomenclature of tbes» unrivaled peaks^ Already
the region bristles with its Mounts Sewardj; Seymour,
Hoffman, and Dix. In short, there seems no reason
why the range sho^Ud not be made a'sorv of nemonio
system of instruction in the political listory of the
State. Giant Valley, Old Hurricane, And Resogonla
can easily be sacrificed to the Gubernatorial Smith,
Brown and Robinson, while the peak locally known to
the guides as "Old Bung-eye," may perhaps, without
any very great violence, surrender its present sug-
gestive title in favor of that pure and patriotic Gov-
9mor whose disinterested aspirations, past and prosi-
pective, for the ohief ma^ristracy have become a by-
word. Some aspiring hornets, which had built their
nests on the two highest points of the "summit,"
resented our intrusion with such activity
that we beat a hasty and ignominious
retreat and were again soon down the
mountain-side, following the course ef the noisy, but
beautiful Opalescent River, past the -sparkling Opa-
leaeent Falls and " Virgin's Bath," (so called from its
attar Impraeticability as a bathing place for any one,
whether virgin or matron,) down by a clearly defined
trail, past Colden, along tho borders of Calamity
Pond — the origin of whose name is doubtless familiar
to the reader— through the forest ag^n. until at the
end of a day's walk of 23 miles of extremely ar-
duous tnunplnfi. wo found outs61v«s at the not least in-

and rocks, confub-fdly hurled at the base, while far
bereath as rise th»? summits of miphty bills, in whose
bosom are the shloiiig waten> of jlake Henderson:
llero two little streams tnko liioir rise ^within a few
feet of each otlieri; the one flowing northward to min-
gle with the waters of Cbamplain, but beyond the
turning of an occUslonal water-wheel accomplishing
nothing of greater utility than the pretty waterfalls,
flumes, and chasm that render the Au Sable famous ;
the other fiowitig' southward, forcing the very hills
apnrt until it rBcelves upon its bosom the commerce
of the world. i
We had now been gone three days, and, thougli
near tho 1st of July, liad seen ice everyday. The
path beyond the Pass grows more and more indis-
tinct, until the blared trees give the only.indication of
our course. Kven the blazes had often become so
obliterated as to pe of little iwe. We had been so
late in starting that morning that, though we had
thouchi to reach JCorth Elba before niglit, darknes-s
had already set ini while we were still fai the tliick of
the forest. It wai mining pitilessly, but the guide
soon had a '*shan)ty" erected, coniposed of bark laid
upon polos, something after the fashion of a wigwam,
which was perfectly water-tight, while a i-oarlng fire
effectually kept off those pf*ts of t!ie night known
as " mldees." By '1:30 the ne.vt morning we had re-
sumed our trump.] and though the rain haa< ceased, the
trees still sliO'Wared their wet contents upon ns.
and the wet leaves of the underbrush stroked our
necks and faces; with a lingering, clammy caressi
The path grew wider until it broadened Into a road,
and we had left the forest and were in sight of: tho
cleared fields and farms of Xorth Elba. Here, iri, the
shadow of the everlasting hills, lies the body of the
hero of the one great romance iu .Ajnericau
history, who dired to act while others talked
and die while (>thers planned. Hither, through
the mourning loyal cities of the North, after
the bloody I scenes at Harper's Ferry, [was borne
the body of ol4 John Brown, in obedience to his
wish to be buried^ "by the bie rock." where he loved
" to sit and read the Word of God." The farm he
used t<» cultivate,;one of the termini of the "under-
ground railroad," is now owned by en associsr
tiou headed bv Kate Field, and including Elliott
C. Cowdin. Isaac H. Bailey, S- B. Chittenden. , and
Other prominent: -Republicans. No flitter epitaph
could be devised than the heavenward pointing peaKii
that look down in majestic silence on the place. The
tombstone had become so chipped by relic-hunters
that it was lone tuzo found necessary to cover it »vitU
a box which is removed for visitors. The place is
rapidly growiug in iK>puIa[ity as a point of interest,
and though it is easy to sneer at the "Mecca of fan-
aticism,'"'as S. R.,' Stoddard is pleased to term it, it Is
not easy to estimate the influence upon history of

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

to preserve order, and in pursuance of that duty he
had the right to call upon the military of the oounty,

THE COST OF tXVIKG.
ESTniATES PEGM CINCDrN'ATI— WAGES AND
PAJillir EXPENSES REDUCED ABOUT IN
THE SAME PROPOETION DUBINQ THE
LAST piVE TEABS.
From tike CiMinnati Obfnm«reicU, July 29.
Workin]^ mbn who have regular employment
are gettltUE ihrough the era of bnshieBS depression
with less hardship than is currently supposed. The
struggle to {live Is no, or at the worst but little,
harder than! it was five years ago. Wages have been
much rediujed, it is tme, but s^ have fumly ex-
penses, and] the reduction in the former case has
been no OTater than in the latter. The working
man handlei less money than formerly, aa does every
one else, aiid measured in dollars, his savings are
less than thjey once were, but if he has work regu-
larly he tirobably lives as comfortably and as
easily as djiriiig the years immediately succeeding
the war. In the case of those who have work but a
I)art of thej time, and not all, of course the situa-
tion is different. An exception should also bo made
of the class [who four or five years ago aspired to own
houses, and|bongIit property at a high figure on long
time. All the hardships of the debtor class are
theirs, and!4lsoitho8e experienced by property -holders
in general,' arising from high taxes and the heavy de-
preciation OX v^ues. But it is intheproblem of how
to meet cdrreut living expenses that the working
man's troubles usually gather, and In solving this
problem hd isi to-day confronted by comparatively
fewer difflculties that either he or the community in
general reaJize-i
Ir'ome qoniparisout between wages and the cost of
living at prisent and five years ago this Summer will
not be founb uninteresting. Within this period the
ahrinkflge it values has for the most part occurred.
Wages in the Summer of 1872 were about as high as
at any tima siiJce the war. and the prices charged for
the neces'-aneS and comforts of life. had fallen but
little. Sii^e that date marked changes have taken
place. La^r, provisions, clothing, fuel, and rents
have suffered a heavy decrease in value. How much
theshiinkage jhas been, at^d what proportion ha?
been maintained between the' prices paid for labor
and for the necessaries of life a few comparisons will
suffice to snow;
Probably I there Is no class of working men whose
'wage:* will jfunmh a better criterion for estimating
the reduction which has taken place during the last
five years than the cotnmon laoorers. In XS72 the
rate paid overivgreaterpartof the country to this class
was 91 50 jpeij day. First-clasa men in some cases re-
ceived mote, and there were those who even at that
time workeid for less. The average and usual rate
- paid, however.; for common labor was $1 50 per day.
At the present time the same grade of labor com-
mands $1 ' per day on an average the country over.
This gives a rWuctlon of 33 1-3 percent. Among
mechanics the reduction has. been in some instances
proportionally greater and in some less. A mechanic
who used ito command $4 per day now gets about
S>*2 50. and one wlio once earned $3 now works for
$2. Probably aa a class the reduction in the wages
of mechanics has been about equal to that of common
lat>orer3. and may be set down aa ranging from 30 to
40 per cent., and averaging about 35 per cent. If a
similar redaction appears in tho cost of living, the
working man who Is free from debt and- ftilly em-
ployed muist be regarded as in quite as prosperous a
condition tjo-diiy as in 1872.
To deteriuiue" with exactness what the difference In
the cost of ]li\ing is between the present time and any
previous date i% not an easy thing. The market re;'
ports vary from day to dav, and often at different
Iiours of the same day, which tends to confu.se the
comparison of any two periods. The difference in
prices, however, can be uetennlned approximately,
and for the bresent puri'^st? such a result is quite
Buflicient. j A pretty clear idea of the variation In
table expenses between corresponding dates of the
Summers of 1872 and 1877 can be gathered from the
table arru^ged below :

many not more than half, what they did five years
ago. Dwelliligs that used to bring $50 per month
it is now hard to get $35 for, and those which for-
merly rented reatfily for $30 are now offered for .$20,
and perhaps even lesa. Clothing is at least 50 per
cent, cheaper than in 1872. In some grades the re-
duction has been more than 50 per cent., but for
nobby atiits,. made to order, a good price is still de-
manded, j Ak tbe poorer grades are much the most
frequenth- bpuelit, there is little probability thit it
is overstating the matter to put the average reduc-
tion at 5I0 per cent. House-furnishing go*>ds have
dejyi^^ed ill value fully 40 per cent., furniture 35
.-jJ?rcentTrgtS.ss-ware 33 per cent., cutler}' 25 per
cent., aiid crockerj- 2U per cent. The price of
board, na wo should expect, remembering tlmt table
expenses arc) little changed. Is about the same as five
years ago. '
A coDclu«3on in regard to the cost of living at
present, ^.s compared with the Summer of 1872, ,can
best be reached by tabulating the comparisons above
made of the prices of some of the lea<ling articles of
consumption. Annexed are the items mentioned,
aud the reduction in price, where any has occurred :
I>r>- goods, reduced 35 per cent.; coal, reduced bO
percent-[ rent, reduced 33 cent.; clothing, reduced
yO per cent.; houBe-fumishlng goods, redrced 40 per
cent.; furniture, reduced 35 per cent.; board and
table expenses have *not been reduced.
Of couTsej tvith different families and individuals
the proportion varies wMch each of the above items
forms in the aggregate cost of li^'lng. Ignoring,
however; either the item of " board" or " table
expenses,'' as the case retjuired, it would probably be
found that the reduction m the last five years in the
coat of living has not been less than 30 per cent.
Xone of thei items given, it will be noted, save the
last two, show a reduction of loss than 35 per cent.,
and in two instances we have felt warranted in
placing it as high as 50 per cent.
With wages reduced only about 35 per cent., it Is
manifest that the working man who is fully employed
is not a severe sufferer from the dull times. The diffi-
culty is in not finding anything to do. There is
where tho suffering originates.
THE J>ROWyiyo OP MR, FEKDALL. -
Th&Washington iVofton of Monday has the
following In relation to the accidental drowning of
_^ Mr. Stratford Fendall, a popular and successful votmg
lawyer oi that city: "ilr. Fendall was returning on
Saturday evening from a visit to Alexandria. The
storm had darkened the twilight, and Mr. Fendall,
being very near-sighted, walked from the wharf into
the river. It is aupposed that the accident escaped
the observation of those going from, and coming on
the boat, owing to the fact that the sound of- his fall
was lost in tho noise on the wharf and on the ad-
jacent steamers, some of which were about starting.
His disappearance into the water was, however, seen
by some pensous on an opposite wharf. They has-
tened around to the spot, giving the alarm, but too
late to be of any assLstance to the unfortunate young
gentleman, for, although his body was almost Imme-
diately recovered, life was extinct. Mr. Fendall was
a young gentleman of original and decided talents,
and highly esteemed by his associates. He was the
youngest son of the late Philip R. Fendall, of the
Wasmngton Bar."

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

abode of the nymphs car naiads that peopled the
streams, and the plant jhas received the botanical
name of Nympht^a odc/rata^ from the Ppetlc legend,
and the delicious fragrance it exhales. The flower we
celebrate was a channin^ pet^nlfication of a water-
spirit, with its roBv blush, Its heart of gold, its sym-
metry of form, its graceful repose, and its Kweet per-
fume. The tricksy sprite'appeared very well satiBfled
with her Quarters, even if she were not in her native
element, for the superb! corolla remained open for
nearly 48 hours without' a symptom of decay, and
when at last it succumbed to inevitable fate, it seemed
as if something human were uasadng away aa the
petals withered and wiltjed ou tne atom, rosy-pink to

From ilu San Jtfrawiseo BuUetin, July 23.
Less than 25 ^m ago California w. s re-
garded as a country ^Mai, uwiigh rich in gold, silver,
and quicksilver, mtist import dothlng, furniture, aud
much of its food tnmi ^stant lands. Those familiar
with the history ^ of j otiier mineral countries antici-
pated a renewal of jthiefir experience, which almost
uniformly has thowni the masses impoverished and
improvident, and wealti|concflntrated among a few ;
the very rich debased l^ luxury and the poor made
vicious and ignorant by poverty. What a contrast to
all this our experien<je has afforded. Our rich soil
and genial climate has y ielded a variety of wealth
vastly more beneficial to humanity than the precious
metals, while the energy and inventive geflius of our
people are developl)flg manufactures that not only
enrich the community, b it lertilize the streams of
commerce. j I
The wheat, barley, ftats, potatoes, beans, borax,
mustard-seed, bops, &c.^ ^theredfrom our fields, the
wool and hides fromlourl cattle, the salmon from our
rivers, the dried audi cairined fruits, wine, and raisins
from our orchards aiid vineyaifds, pour out from the
Golden Gate In a sieadk' stream, spreading not only
among tho islands ^jf the Pacific and the continents
watered by its wavek, bfnt estendmi; to the Atlantic
and Mediterranean. Before many years the myriad
dwellers in the valley of j the Missl.s»ippi will receive
daily and bounteous pupplies of the oranges, almonds,
oUves, lemons, bonanaa an^ other tropical fruits,
whose luscious superiority ovpr such as are imported
across salt water is alreiawy sttieugthening 'an appetite
that will grow by what it feeds upon.
Even the sterile plains, where the sage-bush pro-
claims the Bcan'ity ^f water, and not a flower lifts
its head above the sand, lare f<jund to furnish eagerly-
sought pasturage for cphntleas swarms of bees, and
their-store of unsuiyassbd hoiiey Is spread by white-
winded ships Ihrougb lands to which the swift flight
of the gatherers couW never carry them.
Last year upwatd bf 10.000 dozen of the
brooms ma<le in otiT factories, from material grown
by our farmers, were eicported to Australia, 1 Japan,
and other Pacifle jcoutiltries. This year, probably.
1.000,000 eons of jfisbl caught in adjacent waters.
will be shipped la 1 foreign lands. Frequently some
enterprising mind de|\'ote8 itself to a vigorous develop-
ment of a neglecteilj source of wealth, and astonishes
the community by 1 the" magnificent results which
pluck and enerso-'accoriiplish, with a rapidity rarely
seen among older, peoples. | Comparatively a short

are thousands of sijuart miles of forests, comprising
fir. white, yellow, and B'lgar pines, gigantic redwood
trees, and 'the Ktill more m^eslic tequtna ifiganUa.
Mr. Hayward, withfar-ssjeing sngacitv, has harnessed
the mountain streams — nature's swift couriers — and
by constructing 150 miles of flumes, utilizes these
forests. Clinging to thfc mountain sides and leaping
across the canons |lifted in places more than 70 feet
above the earth, tihese flumes carry the collected
drop? from the weeping glaciers with their burden of

its inmates. .
Some poet who has hip head fnll of political econo-

The issue rests nppn [ the great geological question
whether Potts' Cn^mtjer is a part of the Eureka lode

there is a lode in the[ llimestone, because the crop-
plugs are in limestone! ; but when they follow down
the limestone to; the Potts Cliamber. they come

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

JUSTICE DUFFY'S NEGLECT CAUSES MUCH
INCONVENIENCE.
An incident that seriously interfered with the
transaction of court business, and resulted in the re-
manding to the Tombs of a large number of prisoners
who bad been called up for trial, occurred yesterday
in the Court of Special Sessions. During the past
month Justice Octerbourg has been sitting at the
Tombs Police Court steadily every day, and has alio
acted as a substitute for Justice Kasmire, at the
Court of Special Sessions. Some days ago he re-
ceived a letter from Justice Wandell, asking him to
take the latter's place at Special Sessions. He wrote
immediately to Justice Wandell, telling him that he
would see him at the meeting of the Board of Jus-
tices on Monday last. There he explained that he
could not take his place, as he was physically unable
to do so from overwork. An arrangement was accord-
ingly made with Justice Daffy to become Justice
.Wandell's substitute. Yesterday, at the meeting of
the Court of Special S* sslons, there were present at
10:30 o'clock Justices Murray and Morgan, who after
waiting until 11:15 o'clock for Justice Duffy, finally
sent for Justice Otterbourg. who was sitting in the
Tombs Police Court. Justice Otteriwurg immedi-
ately adjourned bis court and went to the Court of
Sjjeclal Sessions, where having explained to the
other Justices the arrangement that had l>een made
with Justice Duffy, and also explained that the
amount of business in his own court would render
him unable to sit with them throughout the session,
consented to sit until Justice Duffy made iiis appear-
ance. At noo'n the latter having not yet
come. Justice Otterbourg insisted upon
an adjournment, to enable him to
return to his duties at the Tombs Police Court. In
the meantime, word was sent to Justice Wandell.
asking him to come to court to finL'ih tlie buBijief*s of
the session. He did uot appear at 1 o'clock, where-
upon Justices Murray and Mor^n again sent for
Justice Otterbourg, who, though somewhat nettled
at ha\ing Ids business again Interrupted, once m^re
left court, and g«Jing to Special Sessions said he would
sit for 15 minutes, but no longer, as his presence
was absolutely demanded in his own court. He sat
*for 25 minutes, however, when he again left to
attend to his duties in the Police Court- Neither
Justice Wandell nor Justice Duffy having arrived in
the meantime, the session was adjourned, and 15
prisoners, whose cases might have been disposed of
had Justice Duffy kept liis appointment, were re-
manded to prison for three days to await trial at the
next session of the court.

A JEWELERS DOUBTFUL TRAXSACTIOX.
Samuel Hirsch, 2^ years of age, giving, liis
residence oa East Fourteenth-street, ana' his business
as jeweler, visited the jewelry store of Louis Kahn,
No. 10 Maiden-lane, yesterday, and selected two gold
watches valued at $96 6-4, tendering in payment a
draft for 3450 purporting to have been drawn on the
Merchants' National Bank of Chicago to Hirsch s
order by Jerry Wood, a banker at Savanna, Dl.
Kahn. believing the draft to be genuinei drew a check
to Hirsch's order for $353 36, which he presented
to him with the watches as the balance due
him. Subsequently ho telegraphed to Jerry Wood,
asking alwut the draft, and received a dispatch
to the effect that no such draft had been drawn by
Wood. -He thereupon placed the case in tlie hands
of Officer Hsgan, of the First Precinct, who arrested
Hirsch with the watches in his possession. Upon be-
ing arraigned before Justice Otterbourg. at the Tombs
Police Court, the prisoner claimed that he had ob-
tained the draft he had presented to Kahn from a
man named James Wood, whom he had got ac-
quainted with some days ago in Central Pnrk. and
who had represented himself to be the Cashier of the
Exchange Bank of Savanna. EU. Ho sold Wood a
diamond ring for $1*25, and a watch, tliat he had
bought of Kahti, for ?75. Wood had given him the
draft in question in payment, and tho prisoner had
then paid him $240 in ca.sh. leaving -$10 still due
him, which he arranged to pay him when they again
met. The prisoner had not seen the man Rince. He
was committed for trial in default of $1,000 bail.
STENOGRAPST IX BANKSUPTCT CASES.
In the bankruptcy cage of Daniel Frey et al.,
pending before Register Ketchum, counsel for the
Assignee proceeded to take down the ejuiminatlon by
a stenographer, as is usual in such coses, whereupon
counsel for the bankrupts objected, unless counsel
for the Assignee would supply him with a copy cTatis.
on the ground that a Register is obliged to have the
depositions or testimony taken tn or reduced to. com-
mon writing, so that counsel might see clearly the
questions and answers, so as to cross-examine. ' Tlie
Register overruled the objection, sa\*ing that the
question, in substance, was that either 'party might.
at his will, forbid stenograpliy and coinpel commou
writing, and this could not^be done. The question
was certified to Judge Blatchford for determination,
and ho yesterday decided to sustain the Register's
views.

rested by one of the Central-Park Police, and taken
before Justice Morgan, at the Fifty- seventh-Street

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

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

obtaiiLiJ a look at the speech to be delivered
by Gen. Ubosvenor, the temporary Chair-
man of the convention, and there is good rea-
son for accepting his sentiments as the kcy-
no'ce of the resolutions. Nothing could well
Vx- more eathusiastio than the approval of
t'j.e Southern policy of the Administration
yeonveyed by this speech, and certainly
nothing could be more just than its state-
Tneuts in regard to the President's entire
consistency and honesty of purpose in ap-
plying to the settlement of the Southern
problem the principles enunciated in
thi> national platform of last year,
and repeatixl in Mr, Haves' let-
ter of acceptance. The President has,
from the first, had in \-iew but one interpre-
tation of these iiriueiples, and th.it is cer-
-tainly moro than can be-- said for a good
maa\- of his critics. There can be no doubt
that his interpretation has differed essen-
tially trrjm that of the majority of his party,
but it is equally certain that only a small
minority is prepared formally to censure him
on t>iat account, or is at all disposed to treat
th& Southern question as a live issue in cur-
irerit jiolitics^
It is still to be feared that on questions
"Vhich are of pressing importance the voice
'vi Ohio will tend to confuse the minds of
ihe people who expect from all sections of
the Republican Party coherent opinions on
the currency and on revenu-e and civil ser-
vice reform. An earnest attempt is being
made to keep the Kepublicau Party of the
Btate up to its old standard of hard-money
floctriue, but when even Gen. Garfield has
professed himself as " not strenuous for any
fijced day" of resumption, the financial'
plank of the platform is not likely to stand
rery Pilose inspection. An attempt to out-
tid the Democrats in their tippeals to popu-
lar -credulity and ignorance is about the last
thirng to benefit the Republican cause in
OJiio, though Senator Matthews appears to
have seriously made it. After the very
/.orcible exposure by Gen. Guosvekor of tlio
mischievous demagogism of the Democratic
platform, it would certainly be ridiculous as
well as dangerous to encourage any efforts
in a. similar direction.
The Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Cliicago
Railroad remains the last stronghold of the
strike, but the demands of the men are
surged with a degree of resolution which
shows no consciousness that their cause is
lost. The Governor of Indiana seems equal-
ly unable to protect the railroad company
and to make a formal demand for Federal
troojis to aid the State in so doing.
Mcs. Tho-mas a. Scott lias endeavored to
su'jiply tho omission of Gov. Willlvms in
ttds respect by mjikiug, on his own responsi-
liility, a deimmd upon the Secretary of War.
There may bo some technical justification
in the stoppage of United States mails or
the delay of axmy supplies to warrant the
interference of Federal authority with
the strikers iu the absence of any proper
requisition for its aid. But it wonld cer-
tainly be a, very dangerous precedent to
allow, in such an emergency, Gen. Hancock
or any other officer of the United States
to " use hrs discretion " without some good
ground for performing unasked the duty of
the State authorities.

We are glad to find thatithe Evening Post
has so! clear a perception of the political im-
becility of the objections to a coalition
luoveiient against Tammany Hall this Fall.
People wlio talk about a " straight Repub-
lican ticket" for local offices are earning
the pay of Kelly and his gang, whether
they receive it or not. The City is poorer
and worse governed to-tlay because of the
disreputable bargain by which Wales was
nominated to elect Wickham in 1S74, and
of the discreditable blunder which caused
the nomination of Gen. Dix as a Republican
dimimy la.st year. One effect of the former
transaction was to intrench 1 Repub-
lican office-holders in j places | whore
they wore able to 1 defeat '' reform
legislation aimed against municipal job-
bery, and certainly not the least injurious
result of the latter has been to make Tam-
many Hall once more supreme in the Demo-
cratic politics of the City and State. There
is, fortunately, little danger that any such
tactics as those of 1S74: and IS 70 can be
repeated this year.
TfTE KQVITIES OF THE C.ISE.
If the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
other cbrporatious which have suffered from
the outragi's of mobs avail themselves of
logal teehuicalitios, tho owners of freight
damaged or destroyed in the course of trans-
portation may have long to wait for the
compen.sation to which they are entitled.
It is not easy to imagine a ease out of which
la\N->-ers cannot extract excuses for pick-
ings. In tlie cases occasioned by the
strikes tho opportunities for controversy
are wide and many. Tho question
may be raised, whether the ordinary
liabilities of carriers extend to a condition of
things not many degrees removed from in-
surrection, and whether companies can bo
held responsible for damage resulting from
causes not directly within their control. Le-
gal ingenuity will have no difficulty in twist-
ing tho inquiry into a dozen different
forms, each of which maybe made a pretext
for delay, or for some arbitrary dictum from
the Bench. The suit just decided by Judge
DoNouUE, on a question involving the
liability of tho Pennsylvania Company for
interest on bonds issued by one of its leased
roads, proves that the company is not un-
willing to profit by technical Haws which
for tho time relieve it from tho discharge of-
a just obligation. A company that so eks a
chance for eva^ling one of the conditions of
a contract which circumstances have ren-
dered burdensome can hardly be trusted to
de^l liberally witli its customers at a time
when its credit is strained to the utmost.
And therefore the e.xpectatioii is not un-
reason-lble that tho owners and consignors
of freight destroyed at Pittsburg and else-
where will find themselves involved in cost-
ly and tedious litigation before they recover'
tlie value of tlieir property.
Tho equity of their claim as against the
railroad companies is apparently clear. The
companies stand inthe relation of common
caiTiers toward tho merchant, and are
respoiL-able for losses produced by negli-
gence or delay. When tliey receive freight
it is on the general understanding that it
shall bo delivered within a rciaonable porioil
and without damage, except so far as the lat-
ter may bo inseparable from transporta-
tion. When the tumult began and the pas
sage of jtrains at certain points was stopped,
tlie cornpanies refused to receive freight.
Xo one klenies their right to do so. But th<'
fact that they exercised the right is in ef-
fect a confession of liability on OMtf'nnnt of
the freight then in their keeping; .Wiihoat-
reservation., they ha'i undertaken to carry
it, and if in the performance of this service
tlie freight was burued or othcnvise lost
their liability would seem to be unquestion-
able. True, the interventloji of a mob was
an unforeseen coutingeucy. Tho compa-
nies mtiy jilead that they proceeded on the
ordinary suitposition that lawful authority
protected thera against tho ravages of a
mob, and that the break-down of the gov-
erning power absolves them from tlio re-
sjiousibility they are asked to assum'?.
This plea will bo the basis of jiroceediiigs,
say, by tiie Pennsylvania Company against
the Mimii-ipality of Pittsbiirg or the •,'ount.v
of Allegheny, as tile case may bo,, but it
cannot be justly ui-ged as a bar to: t!io de-
mand of the owners of goods destroyed
while in the cars^or tlie depot of the coin-
I)any. Ultimately, no doubt, they will be
able to recover. Tlie immediate question
is, whether tho company, promptly recog-
nizing its liability, shall by a fair settlement
with its customers mitigate a loss which
must othenvise be ruinous, or wliether the
acknowledgment of liability, and the con-
sequent settlement, shall be made
conditional upon its own prior re-
covery of damages from thcJ city
or tho Coimty. The former course is ob-
viously the equitable one. It m:iy I bo in-
convenieut to the company, but it will bo
simple justice to the individual sufferers.
If the company fiiU back upon tho alterna-
tive proposition and postpone tho adjust-
ment of its freighters' claims until it have
itself recovered damaged, the delay may be
almost indefinite, and in the interim gross
injustice will be inflicted upon agents,
traders, and others who are virtually at tho
mercy of the company.
Of course, there ^vill be serious hardship,
somewhere, whatever be the result iu re-
gard to this aspect of the matter. The com-
pany will suffer from the impairment of its
business facilities as well as from injury to
its credit, but it ought not therefore to ask
its customers to share its losses. It has
enormons privileges, which it has exercised
with singiUar indifference to everything save
its own corporate interests. It would resent
as an absurdity the suggestion that in
a period of great prosperity it should make
its cxistomors sharers in its gains, and it has
no morail right now to impose upon them a
sort of partnership in respect of its embar-
rassments. It must make the best arrange-
ment it can with the oomnniTiity whose cow-
plaint.
quire the npper hand ; and when strildng
the final balance it should not fail to recog-
nize as a set-off to its constructive damages
the money value of the powers with which
H isi endowed.
Ej-eu Pittsbm^ has a valid cause of com-
Although its citizens have forfeited
too much respect to leave them any hope of
sympathy, their position with reference to
the Pennsylvania Railroad and its losses is
suggestive of some of the peculiarities that
have attended the growth of the railroad
system. As long as a railroad was wholly
subject to the laws of the State from
which it derived its charter, the
muiiicipalities through whose boundaries
it rjan might well be held responsible
for i|;s protection. The policy adopted by
grea.t railroads, and tho developments of
the s.vstem under their dtreetiori , have intro-
duced into this view of the case some
quallifjnng considerations. The- Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, for example, has acquired
national proportions. It has gonB on ex-
panding^ adding tributary to tributary,
until many States feel the effects
of its administration. Its aggregate
pay-foil nearly approaches the total civil
service of the United States. Its President,
absolute in his sphere; considers himself
entitled to step over the heads of Governors
of qtates, and on his own account to de-
mand the aid of Federal troops. The sys-
tem; then, has outgrown its local eharac-
toriskics; only in a limited sense is it
amenable to local authority-j^ the measures
it ai^opts may precipitate conflicts between
lubor and capital, and may tlius be the not
very remote causes of mobs and riots, and
the destruction for which, under the law, it
mayiexact compensation. And while it has
pracJ;icaIly become superior to local regula-
tionj it has not been made subject to Fed-
eral control. The anomaly is too glaring to
be upheld. Tho railroad system now per-
tjiins to the nation ratlier than to States,
and the legislation for which it calls should
be national.
SmXDLiyti STATES.
In several States of the Union, notably
in tte South and West, it seems to be the
opinion that a State, coimty, or city can
repudiate an obligation on grounds which
an individual would not dare to take. The
people — that is to say, the voters — meet at
the polls and deliberately decide to repuiUate
a debt. If that samo debt, or one of a simi-
lar character, were to be so disowned by any
one of those voters, he would be held up to
public execration by his neighbors. More-
over, the law would hold him a common swin-
lUer. In Minnesota, for example, the rail-
roads borrowed moiiey to construct their
linesl The State indorsed their bonds, and
all went well for a season. Tho bonds fell
due, and the railroad could not, or would
not, pay. The .State bid in the bonds, and
took possession of the property, but paid
nothing. The creditors took the cause to
the jL'nited States Supreme Court, and ob-
taiucil a decision to the ellei.'t that the rail-
road company was out of the case, but the
State was in equity bound to meet the debt.
There was no way to sue the State, and, by
a magnaiiiiiious course, the whole question
was submitted to tho people. The bond-
holders were ready to take fifty cents on the
dollar. The people voted, by a tremendous
majority,! to pay nothing at all.
The moral responsibility for this sort of
dishonesty is -so widely distributed that it
does I not seem to affect anybody. Prob-
ably all tho voters in Miimesota who cast
ballots in favor of repudiation are honest
men who pay their debts. WTiat they would
do if the law compelling them to pay were
as lax as the law relating to State obliga-
tioiisy wo cannot say. But it is not unnat-
ural to suppose that the tax-payers of Min-
nesota who voted to repudiate tho railroad
bonds at a rate of four to one think they
have done a good stroke of business. With
most men it is not a crime to cheat tho Gov-
orineiit. By a parity of reasoning,
it is not a crime for the Government to
cheat. Precisely the samo thing has liap-
pened in Arkansas, where tho sharpers who
infest the Slate have brought additional
dishonor upon their name. The Legislature
plighted the faith of the State as security
for the purpose of borrowing several million
dollars for railroad building. Bonds were
issued in accordance with this act. Every-
thiua was legal, fair, ami above board. The
nioutj}- borr(jwed on tho bonds was duly ex-
pended. The im])rovements were made, and
the Siate controlled the title of the property.
Kverythiiig was apparently in accordance
with I law, and nobody complained of the
burden of the debt.
After a while, a made-up case, as is al-
leged, took to the Supreme Court of the
State! an issue involving the legality of these
railroad bonds. The court decided that tho
law authorizing the issue was improperly
enact|cd ; consequently, it was not of bind-
ing force and effect, and the bonds were
null and void. It seems that, under the
Consllitution of Arkansas, the bill authoriz-
ing the issue of tho bonds should have
been read on different days before passage ;
or, in default of such readings, the rules
should have been suspended. The record
showed that the rules were not suspendeil
and that J the bill was read several
times on the same day, in House and in
Senate. Therefore, though the bill author-
izing tho borrowing of tho inop£yand the
issnirg of the bonds pa.ssed botltjlbranehes
of the Legislature, was duly enrolled, signed
by the Governor, and otherwise treated as a
law, a slight irregularity in its passage nul-
lifies the whole. Tho law is invalid. The
bonds are not worth the paper on which
they are written. The State of Arkansas
has got the money, or the improvements
which the money paid for, but the Stafe, if
we can imagine such an impersonal thing
saying anything, sits back and says to the
bondholder, " BeaUy, my fine fellow, I took
your money, but my receipt is not worth a
rush."
It dbes not add to the enormity of this of-
fense that the legality of the Arkansas
bonds has never before been called in ques-
tion, and that the interest has been paid
without demur up to this time. The main
fact of the case is that the State of Arkan-
sas has acquired several nullion dollars'
worth of property, and has repudiated the
only obligation ever issued as an acknowl-
edgment or zeeeipt. 1 Of course, it is alleged
that a due regard for the solemnities of law,
a strict observance of the requirements of

TuAkE'^S new LEADERS.
Therej are Generals of peace as well as of
war ; ani ii tiege days of what Washing-
ton Ik v^d so WppUy called " fighting by
proolam!tti<i[u,'' tho latter are often the more
powerful! oft the two. Midhat Pasha, with
the Sul^aui for his client, and the leading
States of lip rope! for his jury, is at this mo-
ment th6 iiost prominent figure . on the
Turkish side ; and upon his success much
more than !|cin thit of Osman Pasha or Me-
HEMET Api does the fate of Turkey depend.
And, cer|tainly, it would be hard to find at
this moiileiiki, in the barren field of Turkish
diplomapy , pi man better fitted for the ardu-
ous and &mpUeated task assigned to
him. A.! Milan of enlightened views,
a Liberail! in politics, a thorough gentleman
in speecria4lma;iner, personally acquainted
with many i(iading English and Continental
statesmen, iiiid possessing an understand-
ing of Western habits and feelings almost
unique among his countr\-men, the great
Turkish]! lip ister! is emphatically a man for
the preseptt risLsl Made Governor of Nissa,
on the Setpian border, shortly after the
Crimean wai, he! distinguished himself by
his enei|W in establishing order, and his
impartiality in piini.shing both Christian and
Mussulman crimihals. His keen eye quickly
perceived that in ^he representations made by
Russia ti) tlil^ Weiitem powers, personal and
local quairelis were magnified into a political
question-i-a mauiJeu%Te which he strove, not
unsuccessfully, t(|» counteract. His govern-
ment of ithie " Dknube Vilayet," formed by
the uniojJ Orthe districts of Xissa, Widdiu,
and SilistxiaJ wasicut short, according to his
own acpO tnt^ by Russian intrigues, and he
was recijllet. to ! Constantinople in the ca-
pacity of Pi'esidenti of the Council of btate.
The history pf his downfall and of the rise
of his eueiiy, Kedip Pasha, is too well
known to need repetition, but it is worthy
of reiuari that all his liberalism has not
alienated Itiis fanatical countrymen, with
the moat popular of native

pXXQEN IN THE SUN.
Most of oUr readers are probably more or
less familSarmth the wonderful chapter in
the histbtryj (f science which records tho
achievements of the spectroscope in bring-,
ing the sun ai id s^s within the reach of
OUT terreitriil chemistry'; and many no
doubt reniipin >er the remarkable fact that
hitherto only meta,ls (cotmting hydrogen as a
metal) h^ye |1 leen detected in these heavenly
bodies. Iron,: lickel, sodium, magnesium, and
other metals by the score, have been f otmd
both in the son and stars ; on the other
hand, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, silicon, and
o^AT tiwi-wrtallin elements, if reallr
fii'Xtf
present, have never thus far been brought
to light. The only exception, and that
very doubtful, is in the case of sulphur,
the presence of which in the chromosphere,
or uppe/ layer of the solar atmosphere,
seems to have been rendered fairly probable
by the observations of Prof. YocfNQ in 1872.
Since these non-metallic elements are so
abundant upon the earth, constituting, as
far as we can judge, by far the larger por-
tion of its m.ws, it has seemed very strange
that they should not show themselves else-
where, and in their failure to appear has
been found by some a strong objection to
the nebular hypothesis. To account for their
absence Mr. Lockyer started the theory
that the non-metals are not really element-
ary bodies, but chemical compounds, which,
by the intense heat prevailing in the solar
and stellar atmospheres, are split up into
their components ; and this theory, though
not unopposed, has obtained considerable
currency and credence. But it seems that
the difficulty — at least as re- f>rds oxygen — is
only imaginary after all. T is gas has at
last been detected in the su . and that by
one of our own astronomers, in whom New-
York takes an honorable pride. In a paper
just published in the American Journal of
Science and Arts, Dr. Henry Draper, of
this City, announces tho discovery by means
of spectroscopic photography of oxygen in
the solar atmosphere ; and ho brings the
evidence to the eye of every reader, by
printing from his original negatives the
juxtaposed spectra of the sun and of the
gas. In the photograph one can see for
himself each bright lino of the oxygen spec-
trum matched and prolonged by a corre-
sponding bright lino in the spectrum of the
sun.
While the metallic elements reveal them-
selves by dark lines in the solar spectrum,
oxj'gen shows bright, and this is the reason
why it has so long remained concealed ; for
these bright lines or bands which indicate
its presence are ineomipicuous and easily
mistaken for mere unoccupied intervils.be-
tween the multitudinous dark lines which
abound in the portion of the spectrum
where they are found. The attempt has
always been to identify some of the dark
lines of the solar spectrum with those of the
element in question, and the bright bands
escaped investigation until Draper's photo-
graph brought out their significance. Why
oxygen should behave thus differently from
the other substances before detected, it is
not yet possible to say with certainty. The
most natural explanation, strange as it may
seem at first, is that its very abundance has
hidden it. A gaseous substance, sparingly
present in the solar atmosphere, would de-
clare itself by faint dark lines in the solar
spectrum ; but if the quantity of .the gas
should be gradually and continuously in-
creased, these dark lines, after growing for
a time more intense, would then bjj degrees
fade away, and when the quantity of the
gas had become sufficiently great, would be
replaced by bright ones. But on this hypo-
thesis it is very difficult to understand, why
oxygen is not conspicuous in the chromo-
sphere ; like the substance which gives the
so-called D^ line, brilliant in the
cliromosphere spectrum, but in\-isible
(usually) in the spectrum of the sun's
surface. Probably the full explanation lies
somewhat deeper.
The research which has terminated in
this interesting and brilliant discovery was
begun by Dr. Draper some four years ago,
and its successful termination is a triumph
over difficulties which only resources like
his could have overcome. To ebtain a
satisfactory photograph of a gas spectrum
it is necessary to keep' up a steady stream
of intense electric sparks, sometimes for
hours together. To accomplish this all
the newest and most powerful appliances
of modern science have been pressed into
the service. The sparks were produced by
a so-called " induction coil " of the largest
size, and this was actuated not by a gal-
vanic battery as usual, but by a Gramme
magneto-electric machine, similar to those
iised for light-house illumination, though
slightly modified to adapt it to the purpose.
This machine was driven by a small petro-
leum engine, of about two horse-power,
which was found far superior to any steam-
engine in the steadiness, economy, and
convenience of its operation. Wj^h this
apparatus the experimenter could produce
for any length of time desired a torrent of
intense electric fire, each of the component
sparks ten inches long, and succeeding
each other nearly twenty in a second ;
and it was thus that he succeeded in ob-
taining a gas spectrum of sufficient bril-
liane to bear photographing alongside
that of th e sun itself. It is to be
hoped that tliis discovery is only a kind of
first fruit of the new method of research,
and that its further prosecution will bring
in au abundant harvest.

SEA-SICKXESS.
Tho cause of that distressing disease called
sea-sickness has for ages been vainlj- sought
by investigating physicians. Theories with-
out number have been published in medical
magazines, but not one of them has stood
the test of careful examination. It has been
claimed that sea-sickness is a modem dis-
ease, with which' the ancients were wholly
unacquainted, and in proof of this we have
been referred to the curious fact that when
the Romans undertook a naval expedition,
they filled their g.iUej's with soldiers who
straightway put to sea and defeated the ene-
my, without the slightest preliminary exercise
in the use of the basin. We all know that a
modem fleet manned exclusively with lands-
men would bo totally unfit for fighting dur-
ing the first three days after leaving port,
and hence it does seem difficult to believe
that sea-sick Romans could give their whole
attention to fighting. Still the Romans
were an ]f xeeptional people, and it is not
impossible that the indomitable courage
which forbade the legionaries to turn their
backs to an enemy on land enabled tliem to
keep their stomachs from tm-ning in the
presence of a naval foe.
Whether sea-sickness is an ancient or a.
modem disease, it is certainly extremely
frequent at tho present day. The theory
that it is caused by the smell of bilge- water
has been exploded since the introduction of
iron ships, which are so tight as to be wholly
devoid of bilge-water. One of the .most
popular explanations of the disease/which
have latterly been made by ingenious phy-
sicians is that it iS|^ie, expression of the
mind's dissatisfactioilwith an apparent dis-
play of indecent le'^tty on t^ part of the
horizon. A man whoso life/baa been spent
/,
on < shore c is ^ aocnstomed to And the
horizon constantly in the same plane, and
thus comes to put complete confidence in
its stability. When, howtve , he makes
his fii-st a^-voyage, and fii;ds the horizon
constantly rising up and then falling back
ag^n, as if it no longer knew its own mind,
he is so startled and shocked that he imme-
dialSily expresses over ytte side of the .ship
his conviction that something is wrong.
Now, it is very true that the apparent insta-
bility of the horizon may seem nndesirable
to a landsman on his first voyage ; but why
should he require his stomach to meddle in
the affair 1 Were we to wake up some
morning and find the streets of New-
York absolutely clean it would imdoubtedly
startle us, and we should recognize it as
something totally at variance with our ex-
perience ; but we certainly should not turn
pale and become a prey to nausea. In-
stances "have been known of the public
signing of the total abstinence pleilge by
confirmed Western Democratic statesmen,
but the public has borne the shock without
any abdominal convulsions. The truth is,
nausea does not ordinarily follow upon any
shock to our prejudices, and .we cannot ac-
count for sea-sickness by calling it an in-
voluntary protest against an apparently
intoxicated horizon.
Equally untenable is the theory that the
motion of a vessel at sea jostles the internal
orgams of the inexperienced passenger one
against another until his whole interior is
ripe for revolution. Against this theory may
be urged the anatomical fact that our in-
teriors are packed with a nicety unknown to
the ablest stevedore. A simple experiment
will prove the truth of this asser-
tion. _ Let any man unpack himself
by removing a , few of his most
accessible organs, and he will find that not
even with the aid of an able physician can
he repack them in the same space which
they originally oecilpied. Moreover, even
conceding that the motion of a ship is ca-
pable of causing the stomach, liver, and
lungs to chafe against one another, it is,
nevertheless, plain that those organs must
be still more severely jiiU®'^ when their pro-
prietor rides over a rough railroad or in a
Broadway stage. If nausea results in
the one case it ought to result in the other
ease, and yet we never become sea-sick on
dry land. The closer this theory is exam-
ined the less tenable does it appear. Were
it true, sea-sickness could readily be
prevented by drinking sufficient water to fill
up all the interstices of the body, so that no
organ could get adrift and infringe upon
its neighbor. That this remedy has never
been of the slightest use is proof that it is
based upon a mistaken diagnosis.
Still another explanation of sea-sickness
places its immediate origin in the spinal
cord. The advocates of this theory assert
that the rising and sinking of a ship alter-
nately relaxes and stretches the spinal cord
of every one on board her, and that the
spinal cord, being closely connected by
nerves with the stomach, excites that organ's
sympathy in its behalf. The remedy pro-
posed is not to coldly reprove the stomach
for its very natural sjrmpaihy, but to induce
the spinal cord to forget its misery. This, we
are told, can be done by the use of ice. Bags
of pounded ice must be applied to the spine
of the sea-sick patient, and the spinal cord
thus chilled until it becomes too numb to
care whether it is stretched or relaxed. It
is said that a number of patients have been
entirely cured by this wmedy, and that
every traveler who will consent to cross tho
ocean in a refrigerator — as if he were so
much fresh meat or vegetables — can secure
entire immunity from sea-sickness.
It is hardly worth while to point out the
weakness of this theory. There is no doubt
that a man can be cured of sea-siekness by
freezing him to death ; but to assume that
his spinal cord has anything more to do with
sea-sickness than has his hat-band is to
make a purely unwaiTanted assumption.
What evidence is there that the spinal cord
is stretched T None whatever. The stomach
of a sea-sick man is in open, undisguised in-
surrection, but his spinal cord never shows
the least interest in the affair, and main-
tains a strict neutrality. This attempt to
cast odium upon one of the modest and re-
tiring parts of the human body is indelicate
and unfair, and should be frowned down by
every unprejudiced man.
But we have at last an entirely iiew
theory, which explains sea-sickness in au
intelligent way. The chief symptoms of
the disease are headache, nausea, lassitude,
loss of spirits, and coldues^of the extremi-
ties. These also are precisely the symptoms
which indicate malarial poisoning. Let us
suppose that there is a poisonous quality in
sea air, and we shall then readily compre-
hend the true nature of sea-siekness. If we
further suppose that the system really be-
comes acclimated, so to speakj and loses its
susceptibility to this poison, we shall under-
stand why persons who are much at sea
cease to be sea-sick. That the atmosphere,
in pursuance of its daily tAsk of evaporating
sea water, should take up one or more of
those ingredients which render sea water an
emetic when drank iu any quantity is not
at all improbable. Thus, by merely making
a -few easy suppositions, wo have a new,
plausible, and really scientific theory of sea-
sickness.

The kinsman of au eminent physician, he lirst at-

which was believed to be inspired by notes left b>
his relative, a royal- physician, of c^es which had
come under his notice. The stories were as harrow-
ing in character as those ivith which Mrs. Pipchin
regaled Paul Dombev and her other pupils —
madness, suicide, or delirium trvmei^ being ^
the mildest culrain.ition ; but at the same
time tl:ere was a remarkable realism about them, and
few people rose from their peru-s-'il without Ihe feel-
im: that they were foun-le*! on fa<'t. Ten Thousand a
Year wa-s a Vastly superior production, and was real-
ly a thing which deserved, mon^ especiiilly for fe-
licity of conception and accuiate description of cer-
tain'classefi. ver^- high rank. Tlie whole tale turns

terest, w-hile the whole story was read throughout
England with nil avidity which up to that time only
the novels of .Scott anil Dickens had excited. But
Mr. Warren culminated in that work, and thence
forward e\-iiiced a steady decadence. Sun
and Then was. although interesting, a very
inferior production, and The Lily and the
Bve was ver\' poor. Mr. Warren's conceit w-aa
a subje«'t of cnronic amusement among his friends.
lYobably, with the exception of "Satan" Montgoni-
erj*. whom Macaulay so ruthlessly demolished, there
never was a man «■> jK'rfectly satisfied with himself
and his own performances as Samuel Warren.
Twenty years ago the Bar rang with stories about
him. At the time Ten Ttiousand a Tear was appear-

friends aside, and assuming a coufijential tone, in-
quire if they had seen a work " of that name." "Kat-

came conSdentially informed under solemn promise
of secrecy of the author-ship. and at length a l»ert,

and 'said. " Mr- Warren have you read Ten

that it did not evoke some such an exi>resaio_n of
regret from the Houi,e as might Have been expected
on the retirement of ouo or its foremost, leaders.
l*robably this bit of wmceit made him very happy,

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

was about to bo revived. It need scarcely be said
that the offer was most gratefully accepted.
J^The immense cost at which *' Roi de Lahore "
wa^ put on the stage is well known, and the fact Is
certain that for a long time past such a display of
scenic magnificence had not been witnessed in any
work. Such prodigality is not, however, rare at the
Paris Opera, and has not been confined to tho direc-
tion of M. Halanzier, or to the present century, i The
ballet of the "Tom: Enchaniee," played at Versailles
by the opera company, cost 250,000 frAucs,
and 723 costumes of the greatest^ magnificence
had to be executed for it. In 1773, the scenery
and dresijes of " Bellerophon " cost the m'odast sum
of 35O.00O francs. Cnder the Empire, a diminu-
tion of such extravagance set iu, as the outlay for
^e "Triomphe de Trajan " was only 170,000 francs
and for '* Aladin oulaLampeMerveiUeuse." 183,260
francs. More recently there was a farther decrease
in the outliy, as '* Dcm Carlos " cost merely 124,288

Qalignanvot July 19 has the following para-
graph: *'TVe have had the curiosity to ascertain
how many times an actor, eng^ed for the year, and
paid monthly, performs during the twelvemonth.
That idea was suggested to us on seeing several jour-
nals attribute to the extreme fatigue of his labors
the late indisposition of M. CJeoffroy, who has, how-
ever, resumed his duties. Weaskea the particulaTs
from the management of the Palais-Royal, and this
is what we learned : From the Ist of April, 1876,
to the 31st of March, 1877, Geoffroy played 242
times; Lh6ritier, (the senior of the theatre,) 277:
Luguet, 294 ; Brasseur, 159 ; Gil-P6r6s, 194 ; and
Mftgnier, 103. So that the actor most occupied had
three months' hoUday, aud Geoffroy, already re-
ferred to. reposed four months, that is to say, the
third of the year, all the time receiving his salary."

CELEBSATtoy AT OVEAX GROVE.
The eighth anniversary of the organization
of Ocean Grove was oelebratod yesterday afternoon,
fully 5,000 persons taking part in the exercises. An
interesting feature of the occasion was the presence of
l.tHX) children. The exercises opened with the
hymn. " Prom all that dwells oelow the skies." led
by Prof. Willisford Dey. After prayer by Rev." Dr.
Hughes, President Stokes made a few remarks.
He alluded to the first meeting held in the grove,
t:ight years ago. About a dozen persons were pres-
ent, aud they gathered together in a little tent at
the foot of Pilgrims' Pathway, where they dedicated
the place to G'id, and selected it for the future
Christian sea-side Summer home. Rev. Joseph H.
Thomley then r^ad the 3.5th chapter of Isaiah, and
was followed by siuging, " Jesu-s shall reign."
Mr. G. W. K. McPherson, of Trenton, made a brief
address on " The .Advancement of Civilization.
Christianity, and Manhood." The Lake Side Choral
Double Quartet Club joined in singing "All To-
gether," and the little blind boy, Charley Hall,
sang " The; Light of the World," which was received
with applause. Kev. E. S. Homer then spoke tak-
ing for his subject "Hard Times and How to Meet
them." The Quartet Club followed with " Our
Grandfather's Clock ;" Master Cliarles Vaughan, of
Philodelpiua played a solo on the comet, and the
choir sang "lit is Well With My Sotd."
The whole assemblage then fell into line,
;(oFming a vast procession, and marched around
the grove, each bearing an American flag. On reach-
ing the pavillion, at the head of Ocean Pathway, they
halted, and the nnveiliug of a large and handsome
vase filled with benutifuJ fiowers took place, which
was dedicated to the pioneer women of Oceau Grove.
Speeches were made bv President .Stokes, Vice-Presi-
deut A. S. Ballard, Secretar\' G. W. Evans. Superin-
tendent H. B. Beegle, Joseph E. Thomly, Es^.. iiev.
Dr. Hughes, and Rev. Dr. Wallace, jifter which they
closed with a benediction.
TBE LASS FOR CRI^INAZS.
To the Editor of the Neva- York Timet : ^
I observe on the fifth page of yotjr issue of
July 29 a report of interviews with sonie of the of-
ficers of the "New- York Prison Association," from
which it might be inferred that they favored the
restoration. In certain cases, of j^didal sentences of
whipping convicted criminala. I do not intend to
enter upouj any disctiasion af this subject, and only
desire to say tiiat the remarks imputed to these geii-.
tlemen must be regarded as purely individual in
their character, and without official significance.
The association has expressed no opinion upon the
subiect, Commsnding, as it does, the confidence of
the public it will not commit itself to so radical a
change iu existing methods of punishment ivithout
fttll inquiry and the most careful consideration of
probable consequences.

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

on the second,

deal of enthnslasm. The only
Tom Ochiltree, and the mutual
on the first race, g $7 20
on the third, and $45 70 on
eatest surprise of the meeting
was the Saratoga Stakes, which was won by a rank
outsider, and th^ Western men were in high glee.
The Lorillard BrdtheU, it Is said, lost over $30,000
on the result. Tno details of the sport are given be-
low, j: ' .
THE MILE DASH.
The entortainme|at was initiated with a dash of one
mile for all ages, jwith allowances for beaten horses
and maidens, anda tnd five entered were Belmont's
Baroness. McPanielSj > Princess of Thnle, Smythe's
Madge. Mulkey's jOhiquita, and Harbeck's Bertram.
All of these had weight off. and Chlquita was a
great favorite, selling in the pools for $500 ; Madge
brimdng $250. fiAroriess $130, Bertram $130, and
Princess of Thul^j $8j0. There was some delay in
getting them oft, both Bertram and Chlquita being
unrtily. Penally t|e flag fell, and Bertram shot off in
the lead, with Sisdgo second. Ciiiquita third. Baroness
fourth, while Princess of Thule, slow In moving off.
was left in the rear. Going round the turn Aladge
pushed out, three-fiutrters of a length in front of
Chiquita. and she) was lapped at the quarter by Ber-
tram, and at the litters saddle-girth was Baroreas,
three lengths before the Princess of Thule. ^Vllen
they reached the 'quaiiter pole Madge and Chiquita
left the others, the former leading the favorite at
that point by half; ] a length. Baroness wss two
lengths behind j them, a head iu advance of
Bertram. ^VTienj i thCy meed down the back
stretch Madife ' and Chiquita were head and
head, an**^ertrBiii. jiarting company for a moment
with Baroness, closed upon them, and speedily got
to the head of |the man^s. aud by the time they
reached the half-mile pole Bertram was showing half
a length in front of Chiquita. while Madge had
dropped back to the R^ddleglrth of the favorite. Bar-
oness being c\o^ up fourth and Prince.^ of Thule

Hughes drew his whib. In the meantime Harones.t
made her brusli and tame to the second place, but by
this time Bertradi wii well advanced, and by skillful
riding Barbec kjrpt'|hini coing and landed him a
winner by n length, i to tht? e\'ident disgust of the
knowing ones jind | all the rumbinatlon buyers.

Tlie second ev^t <Mi the card wa.H a dash of two
miles, for all R«e^, with a penalty of five pounds to'
the winner of the Sanitoga Cup. For this were en-
tered Carr & Co.'s b. c. Viceroy. W. Cottrell's Atmt
Betsey. Charles TLeed"! Athlene, and George L. Ijoril-
lard's Tom Ochiltiretj.! When the bell summoned
themto the front only three of them were stripped
for the contest. Viceroy not putting In an appear-
ance. In the betjting. of coarse Tom Ochiltree was a
great favorite over ihe field, and brought $*J00 to
$."^5. The trijo J were readily in line, and
when the llag fell ^iViiiit lletsey wont off in the lead,
-Athlene sCcimd, land jOchJltree laHt. (xoiiig to the
turn. howevtT. .Ajthlene was sent out to make the
running, an«I shejscxm oiwned a gap of five lengths,
and Tom Ocliilt^ee followed into the second place.
Aunt Betsy Iteinz piillcd, behind him. At the quar-
ter pole Athlene [was still five lengths ahfad of Ochil-
tree, and he f»>ur Ufngths alieatt of Aunt Betsy.
Down the back strftiidi ihcy were the same until they
approached the ihulf-jijiile ptde, when Ochiltree got
twi> lengths closer to the little mare, and .\nnt Betsy
wa« left six leiigljhsbtihiud. Runnini; round the lower
turn. Ochiltree got |RtiIl closer, and not more than
a length of daylight divided them. \\'hen tbey
came up the hctine stretrli Athlene uot away again
and finisheil the fiirst luile in 1:53. three lengths In
advance of Toiiij, who whs six lengths awav from
Aunt Itftsy. Gtjijig' r<iund the turn again they in-
cTt-nsed the* pace i-bnJiidenibly. and at tlio »]uarter p*il©
Atliloue was lea»^iiDgiab<mt two aiid a half length^,
and in thU manner they jounieved along the hack
stretch for somejdistance, when Barbee moved along
with the big horw, and at the half-mile pole
less than half ja length of space was between
them, and Aunt Bet-sy was four lengths away.
They began racing in dead earnest round
the lower tumi aiid Ochiltree graduallv closed
to the tail of Athlcme, and .\unt Bet.fy fell away
completely out ^jf th** rare. Ochiltree continued to
close on Athlene; and when they turned into the
home stretch the fiillv was apparently holding the
lead by a neck. [At | the furlong pole they were on
even terms, and -thorti was much enthusiasm mani-
fested as the little' mare gamely responded to the
whip and hung[to Tom, but he was too much for
her, as, when Tc^ was allowed his head, he came to
the front and woni the; race by a lencth in S.-SOig.
Aunt Betsy wasj beitea off a* long distance. The
second mile was |x|un! in l|:4Gi2'
THE sl^tlATOOA STAKES.
The third affair furnished by the card was the four-
teenth renewal I of jthe '.Saratoga Stakes, for 2-year
olds, three-quarters jof a mile, which closed with 49
nominations, niije of which sported silk on this occa-
sion, namely. Pierre llorillard's Perfection and Pique,
F. Smj-the's DaiiLheT. p. McDanieVs Fawn and a
bav filly by |W»^ D^uce, T. Puryear & Co.'s
Clifton, George L. LorillWrd's Duke of Magenta, W.
Aster's Pride oE jthe Vljlage, and Johuson & Co.'s
Bramble. Tliis was a gijand field of youngsters. The
race had a v^st j amount of interest, and the
speculation w)as very heavv,- with i*ierre
Lorillard's pair] the favorites at $<iOO, the Duke of
Magenta selling Isecoid for $300. McDauiefs $155.
Clifton $150, 1 Astbr $145. Bramble $90, and
Danicheff $25. j i Tliis was the greatest slaughter
that the knowintjories have felt this season, and one
thatit will take thfen^ sometime to recoverfrora. There
WELs along delay! nil starting the youngsters in the
chute, the Puke] of I Mafienta acting In a most outra-
geous manner, and | finally attempting to jump over
the rails separating the chute from the main track.
He only partly succeeded, however, as he landed on
top of them, I land, as they gave way under
his weight, Barl?ee jumped to the ground safely.
After this there wer^ tU'o more attempts, and then
the flag fell to alstraggUng start. Bramble having the
best of it by four lengths. Pride, of the Village get-
ting off second. Duke of Magenta third, andPerfec-
tion fourth. They'ruslied down the chute with
Bramble still \a the lead by two lengths, but
the Duke of {Magenta was fast closing up on
him. and wheh tjli^y turned into the regular
track at the I j half-mile pole, Bramble showed
hadf a length hetdrp the Duke, and two in ad-
vance of Perfefctiohl who was followed by Pride
of the Village, ifourth, and Danicheff fifth. When
they came round tho lower turn, Bramble got away
three lengths, whiltj Perfection closed on Magenta,
lapped by Pride !<if |t]ie Village, and the others just
bemnd them in I a | i^uck. There was a tremendous
ammmt of eiciwraent when they turned into the
homestretch. ■Thef puke of Magenta closed up on
Bramble und^qon was at his saddle-^rth ; ^en up
came Perfection anijl Pride of the Milage, and thev
were soon even with the other two, and it was a whip-
ping race Jiume between them. The four were in a line
clear awayffron)i| thp others, and the quartet passed
the repoiters' standi so evenly that it was impossible
to tell which had |tirst passed the winning-post. An
immense crowd gathered in front of the grand stand,
and breathlessly nwaSted the decision of the judges,
and, whfu Bramble'b number was indicated as the
winuincr one. there Was a wild shout by hiS backers,
and a general rdsh [to the mutual pool stands to see
what the tickets ^pald. The iHike of Magenta was
placed setiond, Ifnd^ of the Village third, and Per-
fection consequently fourth.
THE SELLIXG RACE.
The excited loosets now surrounded the pooling
stand aud onde^'ored to get out of their difficulty in
the mile and one-eighth. There were seven starters,
iucludiug Dwyet Bijo'thers' Vermont, Williams' Fair
Play. Reed's Cirdihal Wolsey, Longstaff'a George
rv., Doswell's Bapjpahannock, Mulkey's Ltidfer, and
Rice & Bethnnels Dn Livingston. The heavy sp*cu-
latovB divided! their flavors between
rv., Rappahannock, and
ting was extreme!^ heavy in consequence. George
IV. fetched $450, Rapuahannock. $200 ; Vermont,
$300, Fair Play $275,"Lucifer $200, Wolsey $130,
and Dr. Livingston $S0. The distance beli^ a mile
aud an eighth, thor wei« started from theftud,ou£-
Oeorge
Vermont, and the bet-
pole, xnldwmy of the hom« strateb^ and there was a
long delay In getting them offi /After a half dozen
.false attempts, however, the flag fell to a good start,
all of the horses getting off weU. Cardinal Wolsey
speedily came to uie front, and readied the stand a
length in advance of 'Vermont, who was the same
distance ahead o:^Rappahannoek and Dr. Idvlngston,
who were together. foUowed by George IN.,
fifth. Going around the turn Cardinftl Wolsey in-
creased his ^ad to two lengths, while Dr. Livingston
ran to the second place and was lapped at the quar-
ter by Vermont, with all the others in a ruck. As
they approached the quarter pole Dr, Livingston
went forward, and led Wolsev at that point by half a
length. Fair Play bringing up the rear. As soon as
they struck the back stretch Lucifer went well for-
ward, while George IV. In the meantime took
the . lead, and Cardinal Wolsey dropped back
a little. When thev reached the half-
mile pole Geoxge IV. led by half • a
length, with Wolsey second, lapped by Lucifer,
but when theT»came round the lower ttim Lucifer
challenged George for the lead and soon obtained it,
and when they turned into the home stretch he led
George a neck or more, with Qirdinal Wolsey lapping
the latter. There was a dose and exciting struggle
between the three np the stretch, when Vermont
came from behind-ton the outside and mnde an
effort, hut failed. At the four-mile distance
stand it was evident that Lucifer had the
field beaten, for he increased his lead
at every stride, and finally passed the winning post a
length and a half iu front of Cardinal Wolsey. who
was half a length in front of George IV., Vermont
fourth, and Rappahannock fifth. The time was
1:58 V The winner was offered for sale by auction,
according to the conditions of the race, and was
bought in by his owner at $1,025, he being entered
to be sold for $1,000.

necessary to get the horses off. Lady Pritchard, hav-
ing slightly the best stjnd-off, retained the lead to the

TuESDAT, July 31— p. 31.
The share speculation on the Stock Ex-
change was rather heavy at the opening to.day,
and prices dropped off I4 to X^a V" cent.; but
later there was a strong and, in some cases, an
active market, followed by an advance of l^ to
363 V cent. The greatest rise was in 'Western
Uxiion, which advanced from 68 to 71 ^ on a
large business and amid considerable excite-
ment. The continued npward movement in
this stock was again based upon rumors to the
effect that telegraph competition is about to be
terminated .either by consolidation or otherwise.
These rumors, however, have not yet assumed
any tangible shape and nothing more definite
on the subject can be ascertained. The rise in
Western Union was the source whence the rest
of the market derived its strength ; bu^ the
only other active stock was Lake Shore,
the
bosisesocenaraUr beisc ve^ moderate la the
temainderof thellsL Toward the doss of tm-
■Ineaa there was a disposition to realize profits
and, under sales of long stock, fte market
weakened and closed at a decline of ig to II9
*•■ cent from the best quotations of the day.
The transactions for the day footed up 1-14,-
012 shares, which embraced 44,925 Western
Union, 30,082 Lake Shore, 1^,050 Delaware,
Lac^wanna and Western, 9,230 St, Paul, 8,630
Michigan Central, 6,800 Pacific Mailv 6,650
North-western, 4,840 New- York Central, 3,373
Illinois Central, 2,950 Hock Island, 2,620
Morris and Esses, 1,300 Chicago and Alton,
1,410 Delaware and lludson, and 1,000 Wa-
bash.
We-stem Union foil off from 68% to 68, rose
to 7134, reacted to 70^4, recovered to 71ia ai^'i
finally sold at 711^ Lake Shore declined from
515gto51l8, rose to 52 ifi and dropped to 51.
New-York Central declined from 94I2 to 0418-
North-western preferred fell ofEfrom 5238 to
SlB&rosoto 52I4 and reacted to SlTg. Kock
Island advanced from Ooig to 95I2. St. Paul
common declined from 2438 to 24%, rose to
24^8 and reacted to 24I2. The preferred fell
off from eOBg to 60, rose to 603jtand dropped
to 59^8. ilichifan Centi«l receded from
43I4 to 42% advanced to 441^ and
declined to 43. Illinois Central was strong,

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

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

^oirectWe: sone mi.sstafoments contained in a
Lolndon letter to a Cincinnati paper, the New-Orle.ans
Damocrrt( .says : ''Mr. Judah P. Benjamin wai not
bom in Snnj JJominc". but in one of the British West
Indies, a fact which gave him the position which
enabled him to obtain admission to tho Bar of Eng-
land. He was an infant when his parents emi^rrated
to Charleston, S. C, and his name appears in the
naturalizatibn papers of his father. It is true In
general tha^ Mr. Benjamin's income from his pro-
fessional lufbors was larae; but not largor than his
eminent taients, wonderful industry, power of work,
antl versatil5ty ajid solidity of talents merited. But
it |is not tn^e that in the Almaden quicksilver mine
hi$ fees amotmied to $500. (KK). On the contrary, i
we believe Chat Mr. Benjamin's share of the com-
X>ehsatton allowed with several dLstinguished attor-
nevsinthaica.se was smaller than that of, several
others, andl did not exceed $20.0OO. The largest
fee derived from the case was from the late Robert
J. Walker, «vhich amounted to S'.;40.000. The late
Louis Jsniri. also of our Bar, received some $58,000
in the sameicase. Large fees were also paid to the
late Edwin M. Stanton, we think ; also to Jeremiah
Black and Edmund Randolph, formerly of our Bar.
The case was one of immense imporiahce And in-
volved many millions of value, and the services of
these eminent jurists were not overpaid. It in an in-
teresting and sorrowful fact that the late Robert J.
Walker, with all his ^rrcat a'jiliiy as a jurist and
financier, Icjst every dollar of this iar^e tee by in-
vfrstinstheiwluile amount in Sir Morton Peto'sijrand
railroad i-wiindle, and left his family in poverty.' Mr.
B*inj»rain was alike tuifortuuale oi- improvident in his

large amount, and a guano spei.-uiation in South

the dov,^all of the Corifederacy drove him Sifugilivo

MECB ASICS LEA VI SO THIS COVXTRT.
The ill) skilled mi^chanics — carpenters and
joiners — engaged by a Manchester firm, as already
announred in "JHE Tr.MES, sailed for Europe yester-
day in the Montana, of the Williams & GuiOn Line.
Many of the emic:rants are married, and their weep-
in;; wives and children, who accompanied them to
the pier to see them off, made a sad spectacle. The
men say ihat if they could possibly obtain a liveli-
hood in Amerira they would stay here, but the labor
market in so overcrowdt-d atid work so uncertain that
tliey hiive bwn driven to emigration. "From $2 to
$2 .'lO is all tliat a eotxl averace carpenter can ex-
pect to »»am in XewA'ork," said one of tlie men," and
then he is at the mercy of perhaps two or three sub-
contra«'tors, wb^ cut him ai>wn and drJvi- to death,
in order to get the utmost work out of him for the
suiiillest I pi>ssible pay. What between the hard

THE nOARD OF ALDERMEX.
In the Board of Aldermen yesterday a com-
mmiicition was received from Mayor Ely. disapprov-
ing, of the resolution directinjt the Counsel to the
Corporation to take such measures as he mif;ht deem
advisable; by injunction or otherwise, "to prevent
the Sixth-Avenue Railroad Company from usinjc the
tracks of the Seventh-Avenue Rjulroad Company In
I'arkplace, \ipon which to run its double-decker or
any other of its cars." Tho Mayor says that the
Sixth and Ninth Avenue Railroad Companies are tho
only, onfis that pay license fees to the City, and
that; it seemed to him unjust that unneces-
snry embnrritRsments should be cau.sed to
oiifc of them by the Common Council as
proposed by the resolnrion- He also says that he is
satisJiM that the Sixth-Avenne Company has a richt
tt) nin its doiihlodeeker cars on Park-pliu'e, and that
the use of thesecarsoii that street causes no public in-
couvenienfe. Acommunii-ation was receive<lfrom the
Mayor vftoinc the resolution directinjE the Park
Coniiuissiou'-rs. the Dock Commissioners, and tho
Coiiirnis-siotipr of I*nhlir \V<lrks to insert in all con-
tr.vis Ii f'l.'iiis*' providing that the pay of all unskilled
hihoren* enij>love<l utidcr such contracts shall he at
the rate estabJLshed by the several heads of the other
di'partuienta of the City Government. The Mayorin
his vi'to declares that the Corporation Counsel has
fl'lvised him that the Common Council has no power
to direct , the departments to insert such clauses in
the conirartK they may make. A resolutton was then
artopfed requesting the Corporation Conn.sel to furnish
an opinion B.S to whether it is •* in tho power of the
Slate or City authorities to nrohibit the reprehensible
and dancerotis as well as tllegal practice of overload-
inc excursion boats with pas-senjrers, and also to state
if it is not in tho power of the Common Council, in
the al»scnr*# of any existing State or Municipal law.
to pass an ordinance which will prevent boats thus
overcrowded from leaving any of the piers of this
City.' The board then adjourned.
ROronS PROMPTLT PrXISHED.
A party of Williamsburg roughs, denizens of
"Dutf^htoivn." visited Rockaway Beach on Stmday
on a special train in charge of Conductor Benjamin
Brezie. ^ They carried matters with a high
hand on the train, which was virtually in
their po8.ses»ion. Peaceably-disposed pa.ssengers were
frightened by their violence and horrified by their
blasphemy. At Atlantic Park the train was run on a
side track to await the time for the return trip. Here
encountering the conductor on the platform, the
roughs made an attack upon him, and he waa forced
to t.ike refuge in the hotel. Capt. Gardner, being in-
formed of the state of affairs, soon made his appear-
ance, and nrre.sted seven of the most prominent of
the crowd, which ntunhered 15 or 20. These were
taken on board the train and locked up in the bag-
ga^re car for safe keeping, and when the train returned
they were taken to Long Island City. Their com-
panions threatened a rescue, and behaved generally
m an outrageous manner, but did not dare to under-
take! to carrv their threat into execution. Conductor
Brezie, however, who appeared to be particu-
larly obnoxious to them, waa forced to ride
ail the way on the engine, as they threatened
bis life if be showed himself .in the cars. Capt.
Giirdner bad his prisoners locked np for the night at
Long Island City, and on Monday they were returned
to rtockawny for trial before Jnsrice Matthews, on
the charge of being drunk and disorderly. Upon ar-
raignment, they professed great penitence, and
begged hard to be let off with a fine, one of them pro-
fessmg a willingness to pay $100 rather than go to
jail. Justice Matthews was inflexible, howe\'er, in
his determination to send every one to prison, and
they were sentenced respectively as follows ; Augus-
tus Solengen, 60 days ; Frank Brown, 30 da>-s ;
Frank Bumlnghouse, 30 days ; Nicholas Fleckhardt,
30 days ; Harry Benson, 30 days ; Charles Fersher,
30 days ; Charles Schaffer, 10 days, all in the
Queen s Cotmty J."iil, at Long Island City. Solengen,
being the ringleader, got the heaviest sentence.

A OBARGEAO]J^IXST A DOCTOR ItEFUTED.
A somewhat I peculiar case, in which a phy-
sician was acciised lof having cansed the death of an
inftmt by sabjectfne it to severe bums in an effort to
establish reB^tratibn at its birth, was investigated
yesterday by Ipj^roaer Woltmaa and a jury of phy-
sicians. Tlw fathej^ of the child, Andrew Stewart, a
Scotchman, Hying jit No. 70 Orchard-street, testified
lis last he summoned Dr. MUo M.
that on Nov.
Dunton, of Nol 92! Rivingfcon-street, to attend Mrs.
Stewart during heij confinement ; that when he re-
turned to his residence, after a search for a nurse, he
discovered that the child's feet had been so badlv
bumed as to deprive it of " two toes and 14 bones ■?'
that the bums healed in about a month, and that the
child was in pjejrfee* health until July 26, when it
died of convtalsions: Stewart also asserted that about
a month afterthe child was bom, Dr. Fredericks, of
West Fourth-street, expressed the opinion that the
burns would nltlqiately result in the death of the
child. The father I immediately instituted a suit for
$10,000 damages figainst Dr. Dunton. but the action
has not as yet come to trial. Dr. Dunton testified at
the Inquest that,j finding respiration exceedingly
feeble, he first gave the infant a warm bath,
and then ' ^n-endered it to a Mrs. Hart-
wig, whom 1 he instructed to sit with It
iwar the ^vei while he [Dr. Dtmton]
was attencUngI thej' mother. Twelve hours after he
heard of the; |coh^tion of the child's feet, and, on
questioning the nurse, ascertained that it had been
held too cfoee to jthe stove. He positively denied
having held the chnd to the stove at any time. Dr.
Fredericks contradicted the testimony of Stewart by
saying that he did not tell the latter that the iniuries
would result fiatally, but merely expressed the belief
that the contraJ;tio: i of the toes would be a permanent
in,iury. Ho dm | not believe that the death of the
child was attributable t<i the Imms. Drs. John C-
Acheson and Joseph Cushraan thought that the cjiuse
of death was convxjlsions from dentition andconstipa-
" in accordance with their opinion
tion, and a verdict
was rendered.

"TUE MUTtAt PVRCHASIXG SOCIETY."
Superintendent Walling yesterday received
an annonytnous eommunicnlion from Ottawa. III.,
directing his ittention to a circular of " The North-
bridge Mutualj Purchasing Society of Xew-York," of
which a persbn cailling himself H. J. Hyland. of No.
74 Maiden-Ian^, appears to be the leading spirit. Ac-
cording to H^lahd's circular the "society" was
organized " fcxr tbe equal and impartial diWsion of
finzes won by the mutual .svstem of puiThasing
ottery tickets," whereby everybody investing $.5 is
promised an interest in all prizes drawn by any mem-
ber of the "isocietjr." Tho plan of Mr. Hyland's
organization, iwhich is limited to 500 meml)ers, is to
buy up a certain number of the lottery tickets re-
maining tinsold on the day immediately preceding
the drawing, and to declare dividends according tb
the value of, ^he| prizes drawn bv tlie tickets ob-
tained. It is'Tegarded as a plausible scheme to swin-
dle unthinking pebple. The communication of t lie
anonymous injiividnl in Ottawa concluded with the
pertinent, if notelegantly expressed, inquirj-: "Can
Tou not pull this ^on of a gun in the interest of

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

purpose of nominating State officers to be voted
for in the approaching election. From the
flfst, however, it was evident that the question
of coramending or refusing to commend the
Admini-stratioft of Presideut Hayes would be
one of paramount importance. The re?nlt
proved That rhe action of the meeting turned
from ilrst to last upon this one point. ,
The convenrion was called to order by the Chair-
man of Lhe Stale Committee, who made a few
sensible remarks about the duty of the' hour,
and thtrn inrrodncod Gen. Grosvenor. Speaker
of the Ohio Asspmbly. as temporary Chairman.
Gon. CfrosveaoT. after thanking the dele-
gates for the hearty reception which
was aei-ordeil him. delivered an efFec-
fcive and carefully-prepared speech, in which
he heartily indorsed the Administration of
President Hayes, and charged that the Demo-
cratic Party and its teachings were directly re-
sponsible for the recent labor riots, which had
done so much to prostrate the business of the
nation. His remarks indorsing Mr. Hayes were
loudly cheered by twc-:hirds of the delegates ;
the other one-third took no part in the applause.
There was no m a ai testation of disapproval
from any part of the honse.
The fir.-*t important move which came after
the opening addre-^s. was made by X. IC Green,
of Haraii:on County. This gentleman jumjjed
CO his feet the moment the last words dropped
from the Chairman's lips, and moved that all
resohiriniis wliich mi^ht bo presented by dele-
gates he referred to the Committee on Besolu-
rions. wirhont debate. This was g**nerally un-
derstoCKi to b^ the first move ot" the per-
\ a^inc! friends of the President. who
vere determined that no agent of the
EW ^^Vle wing of the party should
haVe an opprrtujairy of saying any unpleasant
thiiig. The n^sulution was passed, only six del-
egates voting against it. As the result was an-

terest- of th'- Administration, exchanged con-
jrralulatory syiiles and then sar ba^k in their
''hairs with a i-elf -satisfied aii-, wLich they did
E-"'t attempr to conceal.
FoHr.'Wtng the passage of the resolution came
the dvri^nation t-f members to serve on com-
mittees. Gen. Garfield was announced as ore
of the tlel*»gares to frame the platform, and im-
methately hundreds of those present rose to
their ^et-t iind cheered' again and again. This
sj*onr:'-ni*-'U*^ and hearty outburst must he noted

until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. At the hour

Party, the speaker continued, was a partyi of
peace as well a$ of war, and in peace it was its
duty to secure to all the States local self-
government, it was also its duty, however, to
see that the Constitution In all Its pa^ts iras
fully executed.: Referring to the President, he
intimated that though he and others might lot
agree with Ha^es in everything, he did not, ind
no one cottld, doubt his honesty of- htelp

hoping that | the promise regarding^ the

National RepiJblican Convention a. yeai* ago,
would be keptjand reaflinned by the Republi-
cans of Ohio. I .^^— I
At the concliision of this address it was agkin
announced thajt the Committee <in Resolutiins
was not ready to report, and another attempt
was made to have the rules suspended and the
nomination of candidates proceeded with.
After a number of dilatorj' motions and consid-
erable excitement, caused by the frantic efforts
of the anti-Taft men to prevent a ballot, a v^te
was had, and ' 371 delegates declared them-
selves in faror of proceeding with the
nominations; 200 voted against the motion,
however, and a > it required a two-thirds vote to
suspend the niies, the majority wa.s of course
defeated. Con d a ballot have been had it tiis
point there is |io doubt that Judge Taft.:wo:dd
have been nominated.
Hardly had the defeat of the second attenjpt
to suspend the rules been announced, however,
when it was reported that the Committee on
Resolu^onsliaa adjourned, and desired to pre-
sent thb resultb of their labors for the consid-
eratioi^ of the| convention. In a momeht Ijhe
meeting came i to order, and Mr. Craighead.j of
Montgjmer\-. read the following platform': I

person of Mr.- Cole, of Hamilton, advanced to
the attack, and declared that Mr. Eggleston
Was not authorised to speak for Judge Taft.
That gentleman, he continued, did not
want the nomination, and he could not stand
upon the platform just adopted, for he
had stated to him [th e speaker] that
if the convention indorsed the Isational
Administration, such action wouid be
most embarrassing to him in the campaign. A
delegate from Highland, who also claimed to be
a warm friend of Judge Taft, took sides with
Mr. Cole, and said that the Judge had declared
toihim al.so that he could not stand upon a plat-
form which indorsed the Administration of Sir.
Hayes.
igi5tmng all this debate Major Bickham and
others were actively engaged in iirging doubt-
fid delegates to vote against Taft, declar-
ing that his nomination would be a re-
bijke to the President, and that it would
be fatal to the Republican cause -in
Ohio if the Administration was not
heartily indorsed. While this per.sonal, and,
asjthe event proved, efTeetive work was going
on|. Gen. Grosvenor moved tliat the nomina-
tions be closed. This was carried, and amid
great excitement the first ballot w;is taken.
Sis hundred and fifty-one votes were cast ; 132(3
were necessary to a choice, and in spite of
everything that was said against him ; in
spite of the proof which had been
brjOught of his opprf>sition to the National Ad-
ministration, Judge Taft received 303 votes, or
only 23 less than the number necessary to
nominate him. The next candidate on the list
was Judge West, and on the second ballot the
Cincinnati delegation, the majority of which
were controlled by Stanley Jlattliews. broke
aWay from Warner, whom they had been sup-
porting, and went 50 strong "to West. This
secTired his nomination and defeated Judge
Taft. The second and final b.dlot was as tol-

Judge West's nomination was then made

ler. of Hamilton, was nominated amid loud ap-
ph^use. and the minor State ofiicers were se-
lected rapidly nnel without debate. Judge "West

Af tf r thv-^ ^remarks, it was announced that
the Comnii ttee on Resolut ions would not be ready
to report for t^'o hours. This prevented the
tr^iusa' tion of all further business. 'for the ndes
^•hich govemtd the convention pro\*ided ths". a
tl3tf.:<7m should be adop*,i,-d before c.mdidates
vere halio^ed frr. To cbviate this diffi-
rultv, Mr. Lowe, of Montgomery, move.d
that the ruiesa be suspended and the
pre5:enu:tion of the names ot* candidates be pro-
r?ed»-d ^"ith. This gave rise lo a debate. The
naotion w-is favoie.i by those who desired the
aomination of Judge Taft for the Governor-
ship. Those who were against him op-
posed it. stating pri-. aely that the;.'
hoped the jilaiform to b3 adopted would
w strongly indor'":e Hayes that Taft. who is
known to be :'.n opponent of the Southern poli-
cy, cf'uld not stand upon it. This was the
•r.mmencemenr of the fight af/ainst him. It
was continued to the end by an organ-
ized clique led by 3Iatthews. That gen-
demau desired Tafr's defeat for two
reasons : Firf^t. because he was favored by Gen.
Garfield, and >e'M>nd, because his nomination
would have been generally regarded, in this
State at least, as a rebuke to all those who
entered into the so-called bargain with the
f'Ontheru Democracy. The clique was success-
ful in this first move, and the motion to sus-
pend :Ue rub s and proceed with the nomina-
lioKs was dtft-iited. Another recess was then
taken.
When the convention again assembled, Gen.
larfield promprly entered and deUvered an elo-
quent audre.ss, which was listened to with
marked atrc-ntion and frequently interrupted by
ioud ar-plaure. Referring, like his predeacessor.
tt> :ht labor troubles, h^ rebuked tho
E-emocxats for their attempt in the Columbus
Co:;vtu;.ion to make political capital out of
tl;osl^ troTihies. and denounced ruem as the
real opponents of working men and of free
iflbor. Id doing so, he referred with much force
to the fact that it was the Democratic Party
that for generations had kept one^fif th of the
laborers of the country in a condition of
slaverv. He commended the 40 Demo-
cratic. Conirres-smen from the South who
them voted \ippn one by one, but it was de-
feated, and at la.st the entire platform was
adopted by an almost unanimous vote. % The
laV>or plank wals objected to by many of the
best men in the* party, and woTild have been de-
feated cov'.ld it have been voted upf»n separ^ilely.
Dofore the adoption t)f the^ platform a dcter-
mined effort was made by one or two of the
delegates to have a plank' inserted in it whijch
should pledge the party to the support of (legis-
lation for the taxation of church property, bur
it was defeated by an over-vhelming votp. and
then, amid almost breathless silence. Gen. (iar-

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

candidate for Governor, is recognized as one of
the very ablest men in Ohio. Ue has never been
prominent in politics, but his published writings
on financial and political tonies. hftve ?hown him
to possess tho highest order of ability. His
memory is so remarkable that in practising
at the Bar ho had no difiiculty in (^luoting
authorities, and even referrins to the section
and pai^e. He is one of the most elotpicnt and
forcible speakers in the State. Mr. Vocgler,
the candidate for Lieut6narit-Gow>rnor, is a
Cincinnati lawyer of high standing, and verj-
popular with the GeiTTians. Judp-e StalU*. it i^
s:ud. will, in view of his nomination, t.tke the

felt mTfj that no better choice of candid:iti's
could have been made.

to I the coniplainant : the L'nited States
recbvered a . judgment at some time
after the mortgage in question, so that the
United States are judgment creditors of Long,
and the defenda|at desired to foreclose the
equity of redemption against the Unites States,
as well as against I Long. A motion had been
made that the United States District Attorney
be required to entjer appearance for the LTnJted
States. Jtidge BIpdgett said he did not think
the cotirt had pow[er to enter any such order, or
to entertain such a motion as that. The Dis-
trict Attorney, he said, was not so far
the officer of the court that the court
could compel him to parform an official act
for the ITnited Staltes in reference to a matter
of this Mnd. He thought the court might enter
an I order to the | effect that the United States
should enter its appearance in ^-this case, and
plead, answer, or demur, and a copy of tho order
might be served oh the District Attorney or the
Attorney-General J and then, if the Government
does not enter its appearance, it^woidd be a
question for tjhe defendant to determine whether
they would take 'default against them or not.
The court wks of opinion that if the Govern-
ment did not enter its appearance and the
record showed such service, and inasmuch as
the Govemrbent had entered the arena as a
lien holder, that it could be treated like any
oiher body. The Judge held that there was a
distinction ijetween the United States as a
sovereign^ i i executing its prerogatives of
sovereigiiW, !and the United States as property-
holder. ;^e would, therefore, give the rule pre-
sented abt^ve but; would not order the District-
Attorney to enter; the appearance of the Gov-
ernment.

The Daily Xeio^ corrfespondent, telegraphing
from Bulgareni, ^^i miles east of Plevna, gives
a detailed accounjl of the fighting of Monday.
The Turkish force Vas estimated at 50,000.
They occupied a series of positions which are
naturally strong, -and also artifi<^ally fortified in
every available 6|>oi^, forming a horseshoe in
front of Flevius with bothifianks restiii£ on the
River Vid. The Russian force consisted of the
Ninth Army Corps, nnder Gen. Kmdener,
the Thirtieth Division, and Thirtieth
Brigade of th© Second Division, under
Prince Schackosky, with three brigades
of cavalry, and 160 gtins. It was
arranged that Gen. Krudener should attack
the Turkish centre at Grivica and the
northern flank of the intarenched position
over Rahova, while Schackosky attacked
Radizvo, and Gen. Skobeleff, Jr., held in
check a strong Turkish force at Looca.
which was the extremity of the Turkish
Une. Gen. Krudener began the battle about
9:30 o'clock. After a long bombardment he
succeeded in silencing the Turkish cannon at
Grivica, but could never expel the infantry
from the earthworks. He spent the whole
af tpmoon unavailingly endeavoring to force the
northern flank of the Turkish ^sition, de-
sisting, after dark, without having gained
anything material, and having himself
suffered considerable loss. Prince bchackosky
about noon carried Radizovo, and, planting four
batteries on a ridge beyond, bombarded the
nearest Turkish position, which- wajs an earth-
woi-k armed with cannon in front of an in-
trenched village. After an hoitr's cannon-
nade he silenced the Turkish guns,
and his infantry, after a long and bloody
contest, carried ' the earthwork and village.
The second Turkish position, consisting of a re-
doubt and a series of intrenched vineyards
strongly held, was then attaeked and ultimately
carried^bnt with a tenible efl^ort and very severe
loss, owing to the heavy Turkish artillery
fire. The Russians, moreover, were unable to
utilize the captured position. About 4 o'clock
a reserve brigade was brought up and an attack
made on the positions immediately cover-
ing Plevna. The attack continued
till nearly sunset. The Turkish infantry was in
great force in a continuous line under shelter of
trenches. Despite the most stubborn eflfort.s no
impression could be made upon that line.
Two companies of Russian infantry did
work round to the right of tlie
Turki sh trench es, and entered the
town of Plevna ; but it was impossible to ht.ld
it. The Russian batteries pushed boldly forward
into the position first taken to attempt to keep
down the Turkish cannonade, which was crash-
ing into the infantry in the open field, but they
were compelled soon to evacuate the hazardous
spot. At sundowri the Turka made a continu-
ous forward movement .■' and reoccupied
their seconfl position. The Russian -in-
fantr}' made a succession of desperate stand?;,
and died like heroes. The Turks gradually
retook everything they had lost. The fignting
la.sted long after nightfall. With the darkness
the Basbi-Bazouks took possession of the
battle-field and slew all wounded. Tho
Russians held the heights above Radizevo,
but the Bashi-Bazotiks worked around to their
rear and fell on the wounded collected in the
Village of Radizevo. A retreat was cornntlled
in this direction, namely. Bulgaria, and the
contingencies resulting from this untoward
battle are of ominous significance.
The Telffjrnph's special, dated Widdin. Aug.
L reports that Osman Prfsha is waiting for re-
inforcements before makit;g a forward niov*'-
ment. The Russians have requested leave to
bury their dead.
The Bucharest correspondent of the Times
send** the following dated Aug. 1 ;
•* Th«»re was a panic in Simnitza last
night, caused by the arrival of a few
Cossacks at Sistova, who .*<aiil the Turks
were closely following. The people of
Sistova thereupon rushed en j/iasse across to
Simnitza, followed by the ('ossacks, who tied
iM-yojid. On the road they came upon a convoy
of Russsian transport-wagons, and spread
panic among the drivers, who. len\-ing their
cltarge ran in all directions. This morning
order was restored by the arrival of a large
number of prisoners at Sij*tova. said to
have lieen captured in a recent engagement

Vienna, Aujt. 1. — The papers herf unan-
imously announce that yesterday's council did
not deride in favor of either general or partial
mobilization. C<^iuiit Andrassy, whose poliey
was entirely approved, was empowered to take
measures for the eventual strengthening of the
troops already eehelonnetl along the southern
frontier. The Gibinet also discussed the cost,
estimated at about 1^0,000.000 florins, of mo-
bilizing four divisions for reinforcing th<^
troops on the frontier, should that measure bo
determined upon.
Tl«' Political Corresp^ynfJcnce denies the state-
ment published in I^ondon that Count An-.lrassy
had asked for explanations from the Russian
Government regarding the co-operation of Ron-
mania in the war.
LoNnox. Aug. 1. — Renter's Telegram Com-
pany reeeived the following di.«pateh from Bel-
grade: "The Greek CoijkuI here, who was
sent toKragujevatz by his Government, charged
to negotiate an alliance ^vith Servia against
Turkey, has returned. It is stated that he
failed to acroniplish the object of his missii*i."
A note reeeived by the Russian Secretary of
State from the head-cjuarters of the Grand Duke'
Nicholas, where the Czar is sojotiming, as to
the sinking of vessels in the Sulina mouth of
the Danube, and ihe employment of Egyptian
troops in the service of Turkey, .says : '" aVsoou

With resard to the other point, the note states
that, to calm the anxiety of the British

Russian Ambassador in London to duclare to
Karl Derby that v,-e harbored na project of ag-
gression against Egypt. Might we not have

will x^erhaps suflico to point out this fact to jus-
tify tho hope that if the British Government
desires that its interests shall not be com-
promised by aggression on our part against
Egypt, it will also use its influence there to pre-
vent us from being forced by the open hostilities
of the ViceregiU Govemmont to take steps to

The TiniM' Bucharest correspondent tele-
graphs that an official report from Belgrade
states there is considerabki activity there in
militarj' circles. The Skuptschina is holding
secret sessions daily, in view of the probability
of Servia joining in the present campaign at an
early date.
The Xetrs' Vienna dispatch says : '" It is now
certain that the Roumanian Regular Army of

THE TURKS AXD RIFLE C'OXTRACTS.
BEHINDHAND WITH THE MONEY TO PAY ONE
OF THEIR AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS —
CLOSING OP THE FACTORT.
Providence, R. L, Aug. 1.— The an-
nouncement was made to-day that the entire
establishment of the Providence Tool Company,
including the main works and the branch
concern, had shut down work for the
present on account of a diffictilty with
the Turkish Government in regard to
the payment of the Martini-Peabody .m^cs —
which the company are making. No previous
intimation had been given, and the employes
of the tool coDipany and the public were
quitesujprised at this sudden cessation of
business in the loiddle of the week. Inquiry
at the works reTeaJs tha fact that the com-
pany have been for some weeks unable to
obtain money from Turkey for arms manufac-
tured and ready to be turned over to the officers
of the Ottoman Government, ana under the cir-
cumstances deem it prudent to stop operations
until the money is forthcoming.
The original contract with Tin-key for rifles
was for 600,000. Over 400.000 rifles have
been made and paid for, and there remains up-
ward of 150,000 to complete it. The tast
of rifles the company retains in its pos-
session and will not let them go, until
it sees the Turkish funds. Aa the
comoany is suffering under financial em-
barrassment its credit is not large and
it is not disiwsed to tahe any additional risks.
The works an* therefore stopped, and the sev-
eral hundred employes discharged until the dif-
ficulty shall be over. The company have re-
cently arranged all its July paj-ments, and ceases
operations now before it becomes Involved in

rifles have beeh regular, until recently, and ar-
rangements may be made in a day or two so that'
the payments will continue, and then the works

may be obtained from the Turks, and in that
case Tool Company will look around for another
cvstomer for its rifles, and failing to find one,
may have to give up business altogether. The
rifles have given great satisfaction to the Turks,
and the hitch in rarr\"ing out the contraet is
so'.'dy due to the flnaneial pressure under which

Buford was enraged, and on Monday

Lackawanna and "Westem Railroad Company,
Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company, and Dick^

standing assembled in the vicinity of the s*Jfc

"While there convened a baud of Iiard cbarac ;erg

and inflamed tlieir minds with shouts of riotous
intentions. Tlie united bands then pnv

They then organized thvmseii-es - into two
bands, one of which procet^ded to th<5 bhist

chine shop of the Lackawantia Iron and Coal
Company, at wliich places a pf»rt;ion <>f xho men
had returned to work. Th»' advancing partiea
were composed of raalconti-nts and •'hoodiuius,''
whose avowed int<?ution w.-is to drive tlieir f«*l-
low-workmen from their jwsis. They were
armed with cudg<ds and revolvers, and suc-

to-day. The Fourth Keiriment>- Gen. Prank
Reeder, took the place of the Seventh at the
Arsenal. The Foxnth is the regiment which
settled the mob at Reading. The First Division,
National Gnard of Pennsylvania, with , Gen.
Brinton, including the First Regiment,
arrived in this city this afternoon
on the way home, as Its members
fondly hoped, and as its friends
in Philadelphia supposed. The division re-
mained in the depot in this city 25. minutes,
bur that time wrecsed the hopes of the mem-
bers and their anxious friends in Philadelphia,
who were busily en^ged in preparinj? a grand
demonstration for the men who received] their
•'baptism of fire" in the smoky city on SuJaday,
July 22. During the brief halt here telegraphic
orders were received from Gov. Hartranft, froTa
his head-quarters on the road, near Pitts^ur^,
to send the gallant First to Scranton. Although
sorelv disappointed, the men submitted to the
change of programme without a murmur, and
departed for the new field of duty with a de-
N-rminatlon to sustain their reputation at all
bazanls.
It is asserted that Gov. Hartranft will: give
the campaign in the coal region his personal
supervifiion. It is certain that the strikers will
be .summarily dealt with. The destruction of
property has been great, and no mercy will be
ehown the ringleaders.
A number of rioters under arrest in this city
had a heai-ing to-day in the prison. About half
of those in custody were held in default of bail
and the remainder will be given a hearing to-
morrow. One of the number turned S*»t*'s
evidence to^iay, and his evidence will go far to
convict the other«».
The Law and Order Regiment, about 1,000
Ftrong. and consistine of the best citizens of
the town, commanded by the Sheriff of the
county, made a short parade this evening, after
which it was disbanded, to reassemble at a given
signal if occasion required. Before the regi-
ment was dismissed, tlio SheriflP made a short
speech, - tendering the thanks of the people
of the city had county for the promptness
and effectiveness of their service. He also in-
formed the command that President Kennedy,
of the Cumberland Valley Road, had tendered
to the regiment, through him, an excursion to
auy. point on that road, in return for the service
rt'nrlprod by it in guarding the road and bridges
The Mayor of the city also made a brief speech,
•^fter which the command was paraded and dis-
missed.

W'-^re stationed on the platform to watch them.
The traia wa.s backed bulow the depot, and, un-
der a full bead of steam, shot past the strikers.
i>ome of thera attempted to board it, but failed.
A crowd of 6,000 or 7.000 people assembled
ar the drpot to see tho mail train south

ainl Cnil'^d States detective, standing on the
pKiiiorm next to the engine, were stoned,
'histcr mechanic Drumheller was running the
cr:zine, and the strikers stoned him until he had
tv» gel oiT. As he did so ho was struck in tho
face with a •*tone. The strikers cheered, mounted
trie engine, cut it loose, and ran it to Sugar
Nutch. Jolia Keithler. the constable, was seized
by the mob and roughly handled. They were
^C"ing to duck him in the canal, and would have
Kiile.-l hiai but for the interference of

THE PEX^^STLVAXIA DIVIDEND,
EFfECT OP THE RESOLUTION TO PASS THE
QUARTERLY DITIDEXD ON THE PEJTNSTL-
TA^-IA RAILROAD COMPANY'S STOCK IN
PHILADELPHIA — DECLINE IX THE SHARES.
hpcclal Dispatch to tK$ Xeio-York Time$.
Philadslphl\, Penn., Aug, 1. — ^Those
who have their money invested in Pennsylvania
liailroad stock here have been made to feel the
consequences of the strike in a manner
not at all appreciated, and which has
called forth anything but praise for the
managers of the roa^l. On the 1st of
May last the Finance Committee of the Board
of Managers declared that the dividends for
the coming fiscal year shotild be reduced firom
8 per cent, to 6 per cent, * divided
into 4uarterly payments of l^a P«r cent.
To-day was the time for the declaration
of the dividend for this quarter. The
Finance Committee of the Board of Directors
met and unaoimously passed a resolutioa that
it was inexpedient to declare tho nsoal dividend
at this tifse, on account of the losses sostftined
1^ the compmny by the depredations
of the mob at Httsburp, and. &e loss-
of business which has been sustained.
An Intimation that this wotdd be done waa
given out yesterday, but the stockholders hoped
aninat fate, and Wt It is stated on trust-
worthy authority that the company had
the money In cash to pay the dividend,
but in view of thP large sum which
It will be necaaaury £0 expend to replaoa their
deemed prudent to husband their resoorcee and
applv any surplus which may accrue to replac-
ing tne company on a sotmd footing Miin, no%
however, hinting that it Is implied farther
than The losses sustained in the "Smoky City."
Whether there will be any more dividends this
year is a q uestion for future consideration, but
the outlook is extremely doubtful
In consequence of this announcement, the'
stock of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company
toached th» lowest point which it hu
yet reached, sales being made at as low
figures as 24% per share. Not quite
» year ago it sold for 48, 50, And 52.
When compared with the stodcs of the other
'great trunk lines, it shows the lowest price, as
against J>5 for New-York Central, and 89 even
for Baltimore and Ohio. The largest percentage
of Pennsylvan^ stocks is held in Philadelphia,
and the inconvenience arising from this passing
of ^the dividend will be wide-spread among the
large holders and with the consequent deprecia-
tion, will no donbt cause a large amount of it to
be thrown on the market

FoRT Wayne, Ind., Aug. 1. — Tfeie strik&rs
had been in negotiation to-day imtn this after-
noon, through a committee, with Assistant Gen-
eral Manager Gorham, who came from Chicago
last night to meet them. A meeting was held
at 2 P. M., and a resolution adopted that the
strike would be continued until all the! conces-
sions demanded of the railway company were
made. An announcement that regular troops
would arrive to-night, however, caused a change
to come over the spirit of their dreams,
and after listening to an address friom Sheriff
Mnnson, who announced th^at to-inorrow tho
law would be enforced at all hazards,
and the railroad company given back
its property. Another committee was
appointed who consulted with Assistant General
Manager Gorham. He assured them that if they
would return to work to-ni»ht he would use
every effort in his power to have their griev-
ances redressed ;. and also promised that
no man slioiUd " bo discharges because of
his striking. Upon the strength of
these assurances the strikers decided,
by small majority, to return to work. Most of
them have reported for duty, and trains have
already begun to move.
The shops of this company will reopen to-
morrow. The public is mghly gratified over
the turn affairs have taken, especially as tho
military would have been here to-morrow and
serious trouble probably have taken place.
It was expected that a conference would have
taken place to-day between a committee repre-
senting the canal-boat men strikers, the Presi-
dent of the canal, and Presidents of the several
mining companies in tho coal regions of Jlary-
land, in regard to difficulries existing and tho
demands of tho strikers that freicbts on coal be
increased to $ 1 per ton from Cumberland to tide-
water. ThecommitteemetMr, Gorman. President
of the canal, but no XVesidonts of the coal compa-
nies were there, they having declined to be
present on account of the recent burning of the
steam canal-boat at Dam Xo- t>. It was under-
stood that th© Presidents would not treat with
the committee until the burning was disclaimed
and denounced and the blockade opened.
TEE BALTIMORE AND OHIO ROAD.
A TRAIN FIRED INTO NEAR KEYSER — THE
CONDUCTOR AND BRAKEilAN 'WOCNDED —
A GENERAL BREAK AMONG THE STRIKERS
CAUSED BY THE MOVEMENT OF TRAINS.
Special Dispatch to the Xew- York Tfmes.
Baltimore, Aug. 1 . — A dispatch from
Keyser says tbat a train of coal cars left there this
morning for Piodninut. As it reached Red Rock
Spring, four miles we.st of Keyser, some strikers
fired a volley into it from the Maryland side of
the Potomac. A bullet passed through the cab
of the locomotive and narrowly missed tho en-
gineer, Oliver Morris. After the engine had
passed, shots were fired at the caboose at the
end of the train. M. L. Paskell, conductor,
and John Caldwell, brakeman, were sit-
ting in the doorway of the icaboose.
The former was struck in j the left
wrist by a bullet, and the latter was shot' through
the hip, both being light flesh wounds. There
were no troops on the train, which proceeded to
Piedmont without further interruption. AVhen
the engine started from there to return to Key-
ser, a guard of regulars was placed on it, and it
came back unmolested. A detachment was sent
to the scene of the shooting to hunt for the
criminals, but in that wild country it | will bo
very difiicult to catch them.
iHspateti to th^ jitsociated Prtn.
Baltimore, Md., Aug. 1. — The Hun has the
following from Keyser. West Va.: ** The move-
ment of trains over this division has caused a
general break among the strikers, and thov are
now constantly coming in and asking to bn set
to work. The opening of this divLsioa
will hare a great moral effect on the
strikers along the entire line of tho Bul-
timore and Ohio Hallroad. The strikers have
always said that ever>- other division raight
give way, but that trains could never be sent
safely over thi^s division. No doubt a portion
of the disaffected element would countenance
violence to tho trains, but the railnwwi company
will take extreme precautions. For tho present
no trains will be sent out at nisht. on account of
the accident by the misplacedswitch on Monday
night. Mr. Keyser this morning gave $r>t)eurb.
as promised, to the mnn who took tho
trains from Tirafton. The fin>t of the convoy of
frelgbts which left Grafton this morning ar-
ri*ved here safely at 12:30 P. M. Lane, the man
who first boarded the engine on Sunday night
to take off tho fireman, was arretted by the
Sheriff to-day at the instance of the railroad
ofElcials. He was placed in charge of a deputy,
and in passing his boar«^ling-ho«se was permitted
to go in to dinner, and escaped through the
kitchen.

StI Locis, Mo., Aug. 1. — The hearing of
arRUibent in the habeas corpus ca.s6 of Albert
C'onlin, which was to have taken place to-<lay
before Judge Jones, did not come off, a warrant
having been Is.sued charging him with rioting
on July 24, by forcibly compelling peaceable
men to stop work. Warrants have also been isstied
against eight of Conlin's associates, and they
will all be brought to trial as speedily as possi-

Springfield this evening. Only one company
retnains there, and that is liable to he with-

running smoothly on both sides of tho river, and
all the men, excepting the most active leaders of
the strike, have been taken back and are quiet-

CoitrjtBUS, Ohio, Aug. 1. — Freight trains
wereimoved out in all directions under guard
of the military to-day, without the slightest in-
terpiption from strikers. The two westward
bound trains, which were stopped at Newark
last night, arrived in this city to-
day. Trains have been passing Newark

The Baltimore and Ohio Road has not sent any

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

informed .that quiet prevailed throughoat the
State. The I Militia arc, however, continued in
Phillipsbur^, and the fierious outbreaks of yes-

keep thei^ ^n duty for several days yet.
Nothing wnd kiJowTi at the New- Jersey Central Depot
in Conimunipa|*r last evening regarding the recent
order of Reiceivcr Lathrop, suspending all engineers
and brakeuien " not now actually employed by the
company." iThe engineers, when questioned, said that
it conld liave nothing to do with either themselves or
the ftremenj, as neither of them had struck duriugthe
recent troubles. Tho general oimiion was that
the order^ so far na it applied to the
New-Jersey Central proper, meant nothing more
than a recognition of tin* existing custom of sus-
pending in dtjll times the younger or junior en^-
ne^rs and jrlving what work there was to the older

S1!^'£R$ BECOMING CONVINCED OP THEIR
SIN. : il
Quito a large congrogatioTi gathered last even-
ing to takepart in the devotional exercises at the Gos-
■pet Tent. ; After singing, prayer, and Scripture read-
ing, Kev. Mr. iHumpstone preached a sermon from
tholext fofdndlin Jeivmiah XXXV. : "Return ye now
every mai^ from his evil way. and amend your d')-
ings. and go not after other gods and servo them,
and ye shajl ^ o'l it*, ^he land which I have giten to
yon and tq| your fathers; but ye have not inclined
your ear, itor lieorkencduntome." The-so words h:id
been spok«n,: said the i)re:icher, by .Teremiah to
the people of Israel I by tJod's command, tho exhor-
tation prcimp^sing that there had been a departure
of the i>eop'le from God. There wercnopenple.it
would seem. Who should have been 'doser attached
to Gml ih-an the in-ople of Israel, and yet no Nonner
had ihev bf^en delivoretl bv (iod than they departeil
from Hl^^ W'oril. His wors*hip. and His .vervice. .So
great, indtjed, Was their offense that, we could but b«»
astonlslHMl HI God's patience, forbenran'-e, and
mercy in wallling fori the Israelites to tuni ngaiu to
Him. Bu.t tho children of Israel, added tho
preacher, (wero not' the only perhocs that h.id <le.
Snrted friym ^(ni. Everj- man had departed from
jm hinctv the ueparturt' beginning In the (iarden of
Eden x\-itU I Adam. It wn.s this tlopartnre of men
from tho pnro Wonl of (iod that split tho Church
into so innny different factions. Kach faction
followed its own philosophy of the Divine Word,
and it wofi^now a common thin;: to hear even teachera
(»f reliujionithemselves sny that <iod didn't mean what
be had said. In departing from the Word men had
departed from God's worship too, and now they went
to church to hear a favorite minister anii be pleased,
and not' tor jtho simple worship of their tVeator.
This departure, the preacher arpied. was flagrantly
wicked, bticaixie. in making it, men left tho Suprem'e
One. in whomjthey lived and moved and had their
being; flagrantly wicked, because they sinned
against themselves : in committing an act that
brought down upon them God's curse ; da-
grantly wicked, because they blasted their
childreii's ! hope of heaven, and flagrantly wicked
because I they ; sinned against society and mankind
in general' by [Setting their fellow-man a wicked ex-
ample of disobedience to his God. But though matt
has thus sinned grievously against his Creator, there
was opened [ to him a way to return to his
Crcator—tJie ; acceptance of salvation through
Jesus CJu-ist. In' concluding. the preacher
urged the necessity of the sinner becoming
convinced of his sin before he could return once
more to <3od. If nien, he thotight, could only bo
convinced of t)ii«, there would no longer be any need
of prnjiug for and begging them to repent'; they
would come voluntarily to seek salvation. What
was needed nt tho present time was more of the
kind of preaching that would bring home to men's
hearts the ; ne cesyity for this conviction of sin to se-
cure a return of God's grace.

iLil WLESSNESS IN MOXTREAL.
The Montreal Witness of Tuesday pays :
" Rowdyism may almost be said to be rampant In
Montreal. ' It is the;subject for general remark that
respectable citizens of Montreal have been since fhe
late difttorbances at' the mercy of the mob or rowdy
element, | which daily distinguishes itseU in some
part of the city — not alone in the more secluded
loc&UtieB-T-py outrages which continne to add to tbe
di^race now tosting upon the community. There la
undoubtedly xeason^ at the present Juncture of
affairs, fqr the Police force to display the utmost
Tigilanoe and all the efficiency they can lay claim to,
not coaly tb keep down rowdyism, but also to remore
whatcTfr fiidltun may at present attach to them. It
is adio fa^tfalMHi^UMm the civie anthnrltlM if th«j
have any desire to regain the eonildence and respect
of all good citizens and of t^e eoimtry at large, to
take prompt and active measures to streiwthen and
Improve the present inadequate and inefficient force.
It Is not now a question of eipense whether the
PoUee force shall be Increased in numbers and com-
posed of men of trustworthy character and sufficient
capabilities or not. It is a question as to whether
the good name of otirdty shall be retrieved and in-
offensive citizens have the privilege of going about
its streets — even through ths most public thorou^-
fares— with sa&ty or not."
:^ GEN SHERIDAN'S RETURN, f-
HIS TOUR ET THE INDIAN COTJNTRT— "WHAT
-KB SAW IN THE WILDBEIfESS OP DA-
KOTA.
' Fr<m, the Chicago Tribune, July 29.
Lieut.-Oen. Sheridan and staff arrived In the
city yesterday jQAining in a special train, via the
North-western Btdlroad, aecompoAted by Gen. Crook.
Besides Lieut. -Gen. Sheridan^ there were with him of
his Btaff Gens. D. B. Sackett, J. W. Forsyth, G. A.
Forsyth : Lieuts. Schuyler and Bourke ; Lieut- Car-
penter, the entomologist and naturalist ; Col. Farrar,
Col. Welsh, and Surgeon Patzki,
The party were ou their way home when they
heard of tne strikers* tro&bles, which hastened their
return considerably. They rode 150 miles by stage,
from the Union Pacifio Railroad to Camp Brown,
where the party indulged in the luxury of a spring
bath — than which there is no finer in the world.
From here 350 miles were ridden on horseback
to the mouth of the Big Horn and Little
Horn Rivers. On the 15th Inst., on Shell Creek, in
the Big Horn 5Iountains,^the party had the pleasure
of witnessing a three-inch fall of snow. Last Monday
they met Gen. Sherman en the steamer Rosebud,
within 10 miles of the Big Horn MounUdns. The
party returned via the Yellowstone and Missouri
Rivers to Bismarck by boat, and thence to Chicago
by rail. The trip was in all respects a delightful and
successful one, and the party fared sumptuously
on flsh and game. Lieut.-Gfen. Sheridan became bet-
ter acquainted with the country, and is for that rea-
son better able to judge where new military posts
will be needed for the protection of settlers on the
frontier.
Gen. Crook, with Lieuts. Bourke and Schuyler, of
his staff, left tho city yesterday morning for Omaha,
where business of importance has called him, con-
nected with the Department of the Platte. The sud-
den call for troops for duty in this cltv was answered
mainlv from Gtn. Crook's comraana, and this has
cau.sed somewhat of a derangement of tho varlotis
Sosts and garrisons there, necessitating an immediate
eparture.
The General's recent tour of inspection was one full
of Interest and military importance. The party left
the I'nion Paclflc Railroad at Brvan, and proceeded
north in stages to Camp Brown, in tho Wind River-
Valley. Wvoming Territor\-, thence to a camp at the
base of the Big Horn Mountains. At this point a
scientific party composed of IJeuta. Bourke, Schuyler,
and Carpenter was made up to ascend this heretofore
unexplored mountain. Tliat is to say. no one has
ever reached the acttial summit of Cloud Peak. After
reaching an elevation of about 13,000 feet, they were
unable to proceed further, owing to the inac-
ce.'isiblo rocks encountered. They, liowever,
reached a higher point than any former partv. Sev-
eral like attempts have been made during the occu-
jtaicy of the Big Horn counlrj' by United States
troops in 1867-'6'^, but none have been successful.
Among other interesting occurrences of this explora-
tion was the discovery and naming of Hayes Peak, a
point jutting out from Cloud Peak, and the highest
mountain of this range. A Urge collection of the
fauna was made, including some very interesting dis-
coverieji of new species. These have been properly
freser\'ed, and will be forwarded to the Smithsonian
n^itute. WliUe on this subject it may be as well to
sav that Gen. Welsli, of Chicago, who accompanied
the expedition in the cause of scientilic investigation,
■hot two of those rare animals known "a« the prock
and cammelco — so some of tho?e who were there say.
Anv persons interested in zoology should call on the
General for a detailed description. Of course, all
kiuds of came were killed, including black-tailed
deer, monntaln sheep, mountain bison, and two bears.
Of the latter tien. Sheridan killt*d one snd Crook the,
other. The Generals were in hick- The bison is a
si>ecies much smaller than the buffalo, a;* fleet al-
most US a deer, and as sure-footed as a Big Horn
sheep.
After le.iving the Cloud Pe«.k Camp the expedition
crossed the range at the head of Tongue River. De-
scending into the Valley of the Big :yom. they found
numerous parties of miners and 'prosi>ectors. in
Hquads of five to thirt}-. all bunting for gold. It is
to be regretted that as yet none of them ha<l been
successful: at least, no paying prosi>ects had been
washed out. Should a more thorough search prove
these flrBl attempts erroneoiis, and gold bo found in
quantities, tho extent of the region is such that it
would a>>sorb a good many thousands of our surplus
population immediatply. There is no doubt of the
agricultural and pastoral capacities of that country,
whatever have been the faUe reports of ignorant
jKT!«ons who have written on this question.
On Tongue River the expeclition wa.s joined by the
cav;i',ry escort of live companies of the Fifth i^^av.ilry
under Major Hart. This force was necessary, owing
to the faet of .-ill the Indians in Dakota not having
Imh-u compelled to go on to reservations.
En route to Post No. 2, (this is to be called Camp
Cu«ter.» located at the mouth of Tongue River, f'us-
tor's battlefleld was visited, and the bones of 17
bodies found and burie^I. Theso had not been -dis-
covert-d bv previous parties sent out for tbLs purpcse.
At f*0!!t N'o. '2 the expedition took boat and steamed
to Bismarck. 8»>0 miles, in four days. There tele-
grama reached Gen. Sheridan, and the party started
it) to make time on a spei'ial train for Cijicago. Ono
part of tho route, 1,000 miles, was made in 39
nours. ^

It will be seen that flotir, from which the " staff of
life ■' is made, is higher than it has been sinee 1S7-4 ;
but it is a fact that it was higher from 1S71 until
lJ^74 than it isuow. Corn-meal, which is not much
used by railroad men, thotigh it is by the poorer
classes, is much cheaper than heretofore. Beef is
about the same, but pork is dearer ; lard and butter
are about the same ; potatoes have been verj-much
dearer, but are now cheaper. Other articles average
a tritle less than for some years past, including
boarding and rent. We thlnx a clone calculation
of the aggregate expense of living would show a re-
duction of at least 10 per cent, on the average of the
past eight years, though it would not he more than
tliat.
S30T IX iflSTAKE FOR A BURGLAR.
JThe Philadelphia Telegi-aph of Tuesday even-
ing sa>-R : " There were several cases at the Coroner's
office this morning, the most interesting being the
evidence given in the case of the shooting of John
Shields, aged 30 years, by Thomas Patton. It ap-
pears that the people in the neighborhood have been
much worked up by the tramp nuisance, and are
constantly on their guard against the depredations of
the wanderers. Themas Patton, who keepsastoro
in Bris tol, had spoken about being prepared to resist
any Inroad from them. But Shields, being out late
on the night of last Tuesday week, undertook to get
into the place for shelter, and Patton, being woke
out of his sleep, supposing it to he a burglar trying
to force his way in, fired at him, wounding him mor-
tally. The wounded man was conveyed to the Penn-
sylvania Hospital, where he lingered until Friday,
when he died. To the ver>' last he asserted
that Patton was not tn blaihe for shooting
him. At 11 o'clock this morning WlUiam
Shields, a brother of the deceased, testified
before the Coroner that as soon as he heard of his
brother being shot he started from Mauch Chtink,
where he was staying, and after stopping at Patton's
store to see the latter they both came down together
and saw his brother at the hospital. At this time
Shields seemed more anxiotia to see and talk with
Patton than with the wHness, seeming to think
greatly of him. Finally ho spoke to his brother
after Patton had left the room, and asked him if he
blamed Patton for shooting him. Ho seemed hurt,
aud answered, 'Oh! Willie, don't you know Tom
wotild not sAoot me ; he would sooner shoot himself.'
Tho witness further stated that his family were all
on good terms with Patton and the brothers of the
latter, and earnestly desired to have Patton cleared
of all blame. The neighborhood was occasionally a
rough one, although there was not much thievmg
going on. No trouble of any kind had ever gone on
between the Shields and Pnttons. The case was
then arranged to be carried before the District-At-
torney at Bristol, in whose district the killing oc-
ctirred." ^^^^^^

F. H. WALWORTH PAEDOIfED
GOV. ROBINSON ORDERS MIS RELEASE
THE REASONS WHICH LED TO THE EXERCISE OP
EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY— REVIEW^ OF THE
)^ WHOLE CASE— THE GOVERNOR^ CONSID-'
r ERS THAT THE PRISONER WAS NOT LE-
V. GAIXY RESPONSIBLE FOB THE KILLINO
OP ms FATHER.
Albant, N. Y.,Ang. 1.— The Governor to-
day Issued a i»rdon for Frank H. Walworth- . *Tb»
following Is a statement of bis reasons t
State or New-York, Execctttk CHA^rBSB, X
AxBAJtY, N. Y., Aug. 1, 1877. 3
A statement of the reasons which have led to the
exercise of ExecutiTO clemency in behalf of Frank H.
Walworth is due to the community. The purpose
and the scope of the paidoning power is not nnoom-
monly mistaken. The Executive , la fre-
quently accounted as simply a court of
last resort authorized to revise the criminal
judgments of the ordinary tribunals. The truth is
far otherwise. 'When the law, by its necessarily un-
bending rtiles, works hardship in view of circum-
stances not within the lines of legal evidence, where
punishment, although technically proper, is yet
morally unjust, there the power of pardon finds its
Intimate field. The law is majestic in that It is
never revengeful and always lust. If its action
places society at any time in the position of a per-
secutor, Executive clemency, acting outside the
strict letter of the law, may relieve Hie community
from the hardship. The application of young Wal-
worth for a pardon was presented to
my predecessor, hut was by nlm handed
over to myself without examination or
action. He did, however, appoint a commission
consisting of Dr. John P. t4ray, of the Utica Insane
Asylum, and Judge William J. Bacon, of Utica, to
examine and report on the past and present mental
condition of the prisoner, and their report, more fully
referred to below, was nuuic some months since with
great clearness and precision. The case of Walworth
having been thtis tnmeu. over to me for ac-
tion, I have made the most exhaustive study
of its features within my power. After the careful
pemsal of every word of the voluminous mass of evi-
dence, exhibits, letters, and papers, which make up
the melancholy record of the tragedy for which he
was convicted, and the most earnest reflection,
I can reach no otjier conclusion than that while
upon the evidence given at the trial his conviction
was technically proper, be is morally entitled to his
release. Neither space nor time is adequate to detail
at length tho facts upon which this conclusion is
based. The more salient only can have mention.
The beginning of the tragedy ladd far bade of etjght
that is known by the public. The prisoner, as a boy
of 9 or 10 years, was a quiet, well-behaved child,
marked mainly, then as now, by an affectionate de-
votion to his mother. He was then afllicted
with epilewy, and subject to the worst form
of tbat oisease, exhibited > in eo-callcd blind
or mental paroxjitms of frequent occurrence.
He lived nt that time chiefly, and of
late years altogether, with his mother at
Saratoga Springs ; and the most respectable citi-
zens of that \illafe testify with enthusiasm to
the blameless purity of his entire life up to the very
day of the fatal encotinter with his father. Of his
father, >Iansfield Tracy Walworth, it is now only
charitable to believe that he waa unsound
in mind. For years he devoted his life to a system-
atic course of threats and abtiso toward his wife,
which for inalJgnit>*, bitterness, and brutality are,
fortunately, seldom equaled. This conduct, long con-
cealed from the knowledge of his son, was at last dis-
covered by 1dm upon entering a room while his father
was in the very act of striking his mother. The son
at once interfered to protect his mother, and from
that moment shared with her the insane hatred of the
father. It Is as needless as it would be a painful
task to detail the brutal threats and violence
of the years that followed. All that a Jevoted son
cotild do for the protection of a loving mother the
prisoner did. but this did not prevent repeated
threats, spoken and written, from Mansfield Wal-
worth, that he would satisfy his vengeance
with the Uves of his wife and son. Frequent per-
sonal violence used by the father to his wife as op-
portunity offered, were an earnest of the sincer-
ity of his deadly Intent. It is not difficult
to imagine the effect of these Threats and scenes upon
the mind of a boy of 16. already burdened with tho
curse of ei>iJeppy and its resultihc infirmity of mind.
Tho protection of his mother &om tho
^iole^ce of his father became his one
absorbinc object, and although the mother resided
at SaratoitR and the father In New- York, so sudden,
so frequent, and so t<'rrible had become his
visits to Saratoffa. made with no other osten-
sible purjiose than to execute his murderous
threats, that the prisoner frequently slept armed
upon tlie iloor outside the door of his mother's room,
to prevent tho execution of his fathers threats at
night. l"he son grew at length to the aye wheii
he demande<i, as was his right, tliat his
father should cease to persecute his naother. After
a stormy inteiTiew, this promise was extorted, only
to be broken, and threatn more brutal, profane, anH
obscene thanbeforw were showered alike on mother
and son.
At L-tst this era of passion ended as was not un-
natural, in a tr»ge*iy. The father, knowing of his
Ron's presence at a City hotel, went to his room at 6
o'eiock ill the morning. The son was called from
sleep, started up, dressed hastily, and in a moment
confronted alone the father who' had a hundred times
threatened to be his murderer. 'NS'hat happened be-
tween the two will never be accurately known. Tiio
prisoner's sole living witness of the scene gives no
coherent account of it. It is natural, however, to be-
lieve that as the father had not for years met the son
witliout looks or words of hatred, he met him n.o
(lifTerently hn that occa.<don. This pr-esumption Is
strengthened by the evidence civen at tho trial
by the hall-boy Amos, who showed the
deceased to the prisoner's room and last saw
him alive. With bis past history in his
memory it was impossible for the son to
suppose his fathers nnseasonable visit less
than dangerous to himself. The evidence of
the ball-boy and the boarder Joslah Moorehead,
shows that no words were spoken unless In whispers,
from the time the father entered the
room until his death ; and the little tes-
timony by one witness as to hearing words. Is too
vague to be reUable. The circumstances of the visit,
the morbid mental condition of the prisoner result-
ing from his malady, and his great terror of his
father's violence, force mo to the conclusion that the
murder for which ho stands convicted was caused
either by tho insanity attendant upon one of
his epileptic paroxjTims or tho Impression,
possibly a mistaken one, that his father's silent ap-
proach "toward iumself was with murderotis intent,
and his own action necessary to save his life. In
either event he is not legally responsible -for it.
But granting that he was so far soimd of mind
that a jury was not warranted in pronouncing him
insane, it is still impossible that the long course of
unnatural brutality held by his father toward
his mother and ' himself, should have resulted
otherwise than in uu overmastering sense of
danger from his fathers presence. The jtirr, by
their verdict, have found that this murder was
neither premediated nor deliberate. In that finding I
fully concur. The act must then have been the re-
sult of sadden mental impression or condition ; aud
it seems to me that it may well be regarded as a
nattiral result of the continuing impression upon the
prisoner's enfeebled Intellect, that liis [father was in
desire and intersBt his murderer, and needed but tho
opportunity to l>ecomG such indeed. The father was
a man of larec proportions and strength, the son
8li|;ht and feoble. Tho result of the In-
terview was notlUng but ^qi fair manifestation
of that unnatural condition of mind and l>ody
to which the father's long course of brutality,
violence, and threats, and his own aggravated
infirmity had brought the prisoner. Jn Uint view
the act was as thoroughly the restiit of Mans-
field Walworth's own passionate conduct as
if he had himself discharged the fatal shot. The
meeting of the two cannot he better expressed than
in the words of the venerable WDliam Cullen Bryant,
who, in his letter asking a pwdon for young Wal-
worth, laconically says: "If a jnrj- were now to
pass i^pon the evidence in the case, I think they
would acquit the accused. The meeting
between the father and the son would be regarded
as an encounter between two Insane persons, in
which one of them was slain. My own conviction
is that the life he had led and the suf-
ferings he had borne, added to the ♦con-
stitutional weakness of his mind, bad so
far worked upon him that as toward the father ho
was not accountable for his acts, is therefore not a
proper subjeat for criminal pu"Ishment, and was not
such at the time of his conviction.
The present mental condition of the prisoner,
while it furnishes no eroimd for his pai^on, yet
renders the question of his further detention simply
one of public morals. Imprisonment has done
its ftUl work, and the measure of his capability
to suffer fsom It is ended- The only question
left is whether tho interests of society yet demand
the detention of an epileptic in the asylum for
insane convicts, where ho has so long l>een placed.
Aggravated by confinement tho malady which has
been upon htm since early childhood has so far
progressed, I am informed hy the highest medical
RUtnority. as well as by the report of the commisfiion
appointed by my predecessor, that his further deten-
tion will reeult incomplete idiocy.and while they assure
me that this result is not improbable in any event,
they pronounce it barely possible that he nia\- im-
prove by immediate change of scene and air. To de-
Udn him in confinement with the certainty of this
result in the future is t*> inflict a severer
penalty than conld have followed a verdict of
murder in the first degree. It would degrade the ad-
ministration of justice to the level of a mere engine
of venceance. and ill befite tho dignity of the law or
the civilization and humanity which l>elong
to the age. Reviewing the whole case In
the facts brought to my knowledge outside
as weU as in the evidence, I cannot
believe it comports with even-handed justice to •
longer detain a prisoner feeble of mind and body,
about whose mental, moral, and even lecal
responsibility for the crime of which
he stands ' convicted there yet remains
BO verv serious doubts. For the facts outside
the evidence at tne trial, bearing upon tho
early history of the prisoner. I am indebted
to the Hon Augnstus Boekes, Justice of
the Supreme Court, and other promi-
nent citizens of Saratoga Springs, as well as
to Rev. J. Trumbull Backus, of Schenectady, all of
whom personally vouch for the facts they
have contributed. Professional opinions as
to voung Walworth's past and present mental
condition are contained in the elaborate com-
munications and reports of the commission before
mentioned, as well as those of Dr. John Ordrouatui,
State ComnUssioner of Lunacy ; Dr. Charles F. Mc-
Donald, of the Asylum for Insane Convicts at Au-
bttm, and others of high scientific attainments. Th^
letter of Hon. Angtistua Boekes. a citizen aud jurist
of prominent worth and repute, is annexed
as tending to elucidate the legal questions in the eaE«
and to set forth certain of its facts. It is only proper
to say that it was written by Judge Boekes, wUh the
y— <*"itt>miH'»t ihti^ Uu Tntntal jo'^'^^^rm. of th%niti>w
oner was to be treated oy professional
and that he therefon refrahwd from
tlon of Uiat aspect of the case. L. RQ*^
Accompanying the statement of the Govarnorlsa'
lengthy letter from Jndge Boekes to Gov. XtL'
den, dated Saratoga Bpnugs-^Feb. 8, 1875, ta
which he speaks of his Inthnate knowledge oC
young Walworth from his infancy; that "he was
nnifonzLlr gentle, kind, and affectionate, with high
ideas of anty, and it was undoubtedly the exeidae oC
these qualities that placed him in the unfortiinat«
eonditioti. irtdeh rendered possible the ooeutra&ec
that all now sadly dejdore. He had witnessed
what few lads or young men had before
erer been permitted to witness— a systematic, per-
sistentf malignant persecution of his mother,
whom he adore«l." Si>eaking of the fatal intex^
view, tho Jud^ urges that the boy com-
mitted the deed in self-defense, and aays
" ho acted nndcr tho belief that this eonxBO
of conduct on the part of his father might
be terminated through his influence and
personal interposition. He may have mis-
judged in thi.s : but should a young son. Impelled
by strong affection, having the ardor and cotifldence
of youth without the juigment and experience rf
even adtilt manhood, be held to the same rule o4
wise action and severe responsibility as one o£ m*^
ture years V*
The Judge concludes his letter a<i follows; "Tli«
case of younc Walworth is a hard one. Ha songhfr
to defend and protect his mother from the grossest
assaults. He may have misjudged in the course o£
action which he adopted to bring about the desineare^
suit : but he acted in (food faith, as I sincerely beliere.
If tho ends of justice demanded his conviction as
an example to prevent hasty action, that end has
been served. I trurt his case may bo favorably i».
Raided, and that a full pardon will be speedily gru)t«(l
him. I urge this with all my heart, and with enttna
confidence tqat what I beg for Is but in aocordanea
with the dictates of jtistice and hnmanitr. Very r»>

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

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

The victim of tho sad tragedy, Mar«:field Trscw
Walworth, was a son of the celebrattwl Chancello:^
Walworth, He wag bom in Albany in 1S30. and
gradtiated from Union College in l.Si9. He was ad-^
mitted to the Bar, but did not practice ot it, the pro*
fesslon of literature having a greater charm for him.
He betjan hLs literary career as a writer for «h*a.
weekly journals and the magazines, and hfu-r m shora
experience he became a novelist. His first novel.
The Mission of Death, was published in 1853, abon?
the time of his marriace. This marriage apx>ears to
have been the fount of all his misery. He was un<
fitted for marital life, and proved that fact by treat'
inn his wife badly, and by subjecting her to oause*
leis whims very soon after the mairiage. Hia
■wife was Miss Nelly Hardin, tho step-dau^tar
of Chancellor Walworth. Her father was CoL
John J. Hardin, a •di«;tin3:u2shed lawyer sn<i
.soldier, who was killed while leading his reeiment,,
the Fix^ Illinois, in a charge at tho battle of Buent^
Vista, in Mexico. Mrs. Hardin came to New-Tork in
1&49, and soon afterward became the wife of Chan-^
cellor Walworth. Mansfield Tracy Walworth, besidea
treating his wife badly, also vented his ill-naturai,
upon Ms children. His condnct- so displeased hiaj
father, the Chancellor, that when he died he left
Mansfield no money directly, but i>nt a sum in truBti|
for the benefit of him and his family. This exasper-]
ated Mansfield, and he treated his family more cruelly^
tlian before, and in fits of rage execrated the namai
of his father. His conduct , becoming unendurable^
his wife left him in 1870 and took her children trj
Saratoga, where she opened a school. Her husband
came to New-York, where, in the periods not occupied
■with work for the magazinf s or book pubUsiier*. ho
amnse<l himself by writing foul letters to his -wife. It;
was his knowledge of the contents of these letters,
aequired unknown to his mother, that Induced Frank
H. Walworth to come to this Citv m m-.- his father.
In many of the letters Mansfield Walwonli threat*
ened to shoot his wife, and in one of them, quoted by
his son in a statement made at the Coroner':* inquest,
he revealed his hatred of his father bysayiiaj: "I
■will kill your boys, and defeat the ■ scoundrel in
his arave, and cut off hi;* naane forever." The
last letter that he wrote his wife, and theonethas
led yonng Walworth to visit this City to procure
from his father a promise to cease h^« insults, re-
peated the' threat of shooting, and contained this in-
junction : " Vou mcy be certain that, sooner or 1^^
I wUl fullfil my promise."
Tlie trial of Frank H. Walworth was opened on
Wednesday, June 25, 1873. before Judge Davis, in
tho Court of Oyer and Terminer- The defense was
conducted by Charles O'Conor, William A. Beach,
.•^amuel B. Garvin, and Henry K. Dnvies. while tbt%^
prosecntion was carried on by District Attomcv»
Phelps, and -\ssjstant IHstrict ^Attorney EoiHni,
The defense was that the brutal treatment cff his be.^
loved mother by his father had dethroned the pris-^'
oner's reason, and had led him. at a moment-w-hen.
his father betrayed a malignant and untruthfnl]
spirit, to shoot him down. The trial lasted fiv*
days, and ended on Wednesday, July *J. with a ver-
dict against young Walworth, of "murder in tha
second degree. " Judge Davis prononneed sentenco
upon the convict on the morning of Saturday, July
5.1873. After a long, pathetic address, lie sen-
tenced yonng Walworth to be confined la tho State
Prison at Sing Sing, for " the full term ot his natu-
ral life."
XEXT OF KIX,
Judge Griswold, of Wisconsin, has Jnrt do
eided a curious probate case in Waukesha, tho cir-
cumstances of which are thus described in a telagraa:
to the Ciiicago Tiinee:
EllaMay Starr died intestate In December. ISTfl
underage afld without ever ha^'ing been married,
having at the time of her death an estate real and
personal valued at SS.OOO, which she inherited from
her father, .\ndr*:w Jackson Starr, who died In 1870.
Of course she left no lawful issue, and she had no
mother or brother or sister. She also had no grand*
parents on the side of her deceased father ; bat «he
had uncles and aunts, five in number, on that side.
Both grandparents on her deceased moth-
er's side aro still living, and they f^»\m
the estate in preference to the paternal
uncles and aunts. The law of 'Wisconsin on the sub-
ject of descent and inheritance provides that " If the
intestate shall leave no issue or widow, and no
father, mother, brother, or sister, the estate shsU
descend to his next of kin in equal decree." &c. Ac*
cording to theci-vil law, the maternal grandparent i
are nearer of kin than the paternal uncles and aunts,
but the latter claimed that although they were one
degree further removed in kinships a? the estate de-
scended to Miss Starr from her deceased father, it
should go to the next of kin on the father's side as
ancestral property, under the following further pro-
vision of the Wisconsin statutes :
The degrees of kindred shall be eompntmS aecordfaig to
the rules of elvU law ; and kindred of the half blood shalL
inherit equally with those of tho whole blood, in the
Banie deRrec, unless the inheritance como to tho Intesxat'S
hy des'-ent, devise, or gift of some one of Jila anoestor&,
in which case all those who are not of the blood of such
ancestors shall be excluded from such iaheriionce.
Judge Griswold decided that this statute relate*
only to estates claimed by kindred- of half blood. In
which case the rule as to anccBtral descent wiD pre-
vaiL In the ease before the court, he held that ^4
estate must go to the maternal (rrandparents as next
-of kin to the deceased, without regard to the blood or
the source from which the estate ■was derived. The
esse is an important one, and the decision is the firtf
on that point in the State.

Jl BEWeW OF THE CASE, AKD 'WHAT IS
LIKELY TO BE THE EE8ULT.
lb tlu editor afOu Ifaa-Tori Tima :
ItwiU be remembered that the members
of the Ltonisiana Ketumlzig; Bo»rd were lately
iBJT^sted and held to bail under a criminal prose-
cuHon against them. The prosecution was com-
mancedin Kew-Orieans on the eve of thead-
Jonnmient for the Sujmmer of the Criminal
Cooxt of that city. The defendants are thus
txeduded from a trial of their cose until the
reopening of the court in October. In the
meantime they rest under a grave accusation
'which they proclaim themselves anxious to meet
and folly aUe to refute.
It is asserted that this prosecution has been
delayed for a purpose ; that it is intended to
exert an influence in the coming Fall elections ;
that it will be used to discredit the title of
President Hayes ; and willafford a valuable con-
tribution to the charge of fraud against the Be-
pablican Party. This charge of fraud seems to
be the main weapon of Democratic attack. It is
elaborately pat forward in the false and vitu-
iwrative article of Judge Black, lately
published in the JVorih American Sevieir, and
bas been caught up and echoed by the whole
Democratic press of the country. Great imjMr-
tance is attached to the vote of Louisiana as
cotmted by the Electoral Commission, and any
step taken for the purpose of discrediting the
juition of the Betuming Board which canvassed
(md proclaimed the vote of the Sta,te is fraught
^*ith aigniflcance, and becomes a subject of pub-
jie Interest. With this view it is proposed to
- VgamiriB briefly the Trnture of the charge against
the members of the Returning Board, and to
state the circumstances under which it was pre-
ferred.
The Judge and District Attorney of the
Criminal Court of New-Orleans were elected
In November last Their election was pro-
claimed by the Returning Board in Decem-
Mr, and they entered upon the discharge of
their official duties in the early part of the
toUowing January. The Grand Jury was at the
'sane time impaneled and sworn to serve for
three months. The alleged misdeeds of the
Stetuming Board were soon brought pointedly
to their consideration by the Judge and District
Attorney, pronounced Democratic politicians.
This Grand Jury, however, was discharged on
the last of March, having found no indictment
against the Returning Board. The next Grand
Jury was to serve for the term of April',
May, and June. No action appears to have
been taken in the matter during the
early and cventfot part of their term.
At this period President Hayes' Commission
^na busily engaged in the performance of its
duties. The Grovemmentof Packard was being
disestablished, while that of Nicholls was nip-
Jdly developing into maturity. Actsof politicid
violence and persecution were suspended and
discountenanced. Th|e members o£ the Be-
toming Board had just beeu released from a
idx weeks* imprisonment in "Washington ; and
When all opposition to the Nicholls Government
Was completely at an end, and the new Legisla-
ture was formed, one of the lirst act.s passed
by that body was a declaration of confidence in
the President's policy, of amnesty to those who
tad differed politically with thetii, and of a de-
termioation to discontinue further "persecu-
tion of individuals" for past political offenses."
This statute of oblivion was generally consid-
ered as having particular reference lu the case
of the Returning Board.
Not long afterward, however, the subject of
'the indictment of the members of the board was
'Again brought to the attention of the Grand Jury
by the Judge, and they were directed to invt^-
^gate iL From statements in the Neiv-Orleans
newspapers it is gathered that the results of the
"investigation of the Grand Jurv were not in
barmony with the expectations of the Judge of
the Criminal Court. The Grand Jiuy, it was
asserted, refused upon several ballots to find a
T>ill tf indictment. These reports led to their
jbeing publicly reprimanded by the Judge for
disclosing the secrets of their sessions. The
jGrand Jury retorted, but the quarrel seems to
{have been soon adjusted. This was toward the
«nd of the term, and still no true bill was found.
' Under the hiws of Loui^ana criminal prose-
cutions may be by indictment by the Grand
J'ury or by information filed l>y the' Prosecuting
Attorney. It is unusual for a prosecuting ofilcer
to file an information for a grave offense dnrin"
the session of the Grand Jury. The Grand
Ju^ was discharged without day on the 30th
of June ; and on the 5th of July the Prosecuting
Attorney filed an Inf onnation against the mum-
bers of the Returning Board for '" uttering aud
publishing as true a certaiu altercKi. false,
gorged, and counterfeited public record," to-wit,
"the " returns of the Pari><h of Vernon of an
election held for Presidential Electors in the
State of Louisiana on the 7th ilay of Novem-
ber, ll;$76, knowing the same to bo false,
fdtered," &c.
The reason assigned by the District Attorney
for his irregular and ti^y action iu tiling im
infoncation when the Grand Jury had refused
to present a bill of indictment, was that the
Toreman of the Grand Jury, three days before
their di-schar^e, re<:«immended the Judge to in-
struct him to file the proper iuformutiou^
against the members of the Returning Board
for "perjury, forgery, and altering the re-
turns of Vernon and other parishes." This pro-
ceeding of the foreman is claimed by the mem-
bers of the Returning Board to be ■wholly un-
precedented. They say it is a recommendation
that the District Attorney should file an in-
formation iu a case where the Grand Jury hail
felt themselves unwarranted in finding a true
bill And they further claim that the recom-
imendation to the court suggested an intomia-
tion only for "perjury, forgery, and altering
election returns :" they also claim that it tlid
■not cover and include the ofTenso of " uttering
and pnbhshing," &c., for which they are being
proceeded against. It is a circumstance highly
significant tlmt the offense charged in the in-
tormation is confined entirely to the vote for
Fteddential Electors, and does not allude to
JBrr State or local officer.
Bearing in mind theso circumstances, let us
^ow proceed to examine the Charge in connec-
tion with the statutes of Louisiana baring ref-
lerence to it. The Election law of 1872 pro-
vides that the Returning Board " shall meet
In New-Orleans within 10 days after the
closing of the election to canvass and com-
pile the stBtemeuts of votes made by the
Commissioners of Election, and make returns
of the election to the Secretary of State."
The same act provides that (section 8) three
.Commissi nrners of Election shall be appointed
(orjeach pulling place in each parish, to hold and
leonduct Uie election ; these Commissioners are
Iceqtiired immediately upon the close of tho
Ue>ction to cotint the ballots at the polls, to make
a list ofT the persons voted for, the votes for
each^ Ac, and forward this statement to
the bnpto'visor of Registration, and a duplicate
to the Clerk of the District Court for
the psifish. The Supervisor then consolidates
these lists into one tabulated statement for the
parish^ which he forwards, together "with the
ozi^nttls furnished him by tho Commissioners,
to the returning officers of election for tho State,
(toe Returning Board.) The Returning Board
Kreqiiired to canvass and compile the vote lof
State from the original documents f umishld
llT the Commissioners of Election to the Su^r-
^rnor, and by him forwarded to the Returning
Board, and not from the consolidated statement
pt the vote made by the Supervisor. This con-
aoUdated statement Of the Bupervervisor seems
intended merely to show the number of polling
plaoea in the parish, and for CQavemeitce, the
somher of votes in tabular form.
The Commsaionen' statementa are the only
eridenee authorized to be used by the Return-
ing B<Mzd to ascertain the vote cast in the
parish. It 'will thus be seen that while the
Commissioners' statements may be considered
pnblio records, because they maike legal proof of
their contents and are required to be preserved
and deposited In the ofSce of the Secretary of
State, the Supervisors' statements can in no
penae be consiaered as such, because they make
BO (ueh proof, and the returning afilcers are
aat required by law to preserve or deposit them
n any oiOce. Indeed it is said that the return-
ing ffiSceis might, if thej saw fit, even destroy
■leh statementa irithon* 'violating any law or
doing any injury.
The doctiment alleged to ha-ve been altered
and uttered and published, is asserted to bo the
iBbolated or consolidated statement of the Su-
jfarriMorf wid not the original ComfluaBloners'
zatnnui oit "V^omon Pariah. The indlotment ia
iortha alteDiaot "attartngandpnblUUBf «•
- ,-9MBtaiB'idlMad.ft]Mb Xiattd. anAomm-
terfeited public reeord." The uttering and pub-
lishing of the tabulated statement of the Snper-
"visor of Vernon Parish, would not constitute an
offense under this indictment, since that state-
ment, as has just beeu shovra, is not a public
record. It would seem then, from this view,
that the charge in the information caimot be
sustained. Besides, the members of the Re*
turning Board cannot, ■with truth, be said
to have uttered and published as true
the statements of the Supervisor, nor
even the statements of the Comisissioners
of Election. They were not charged with the
duty of uttering and publishing these original
returns and statements : their sole power was to
canvass or compile the statements of votes
sent up to them, imd on such canvass . to make
and declare their return of the election. 'What
they uttered and published as true was their
awn return. They had nothing to do with
uttering and pubUshing any return made to
them from the Parish ot 'Vemon, and they
never professed to do this. They were vested
with express power under the terms of the sta-
tute to alter the result as shown by the Super-
visors' consolidated statement, by rejecting any
poll or polls at which violence, fraud, &c., were
used. This was a discretionary, quasi-judicial
power, and for this reason the law refrained from
prescribing any penalties against the Returning
officers for the performance of any acts within
their discretion. Again, it would seem that the
uttering and publishing of false returns of the
election in the Parish of Vemon was an act en-
tirely inconsequential. If tho returns uttered
and published had been unaltered, aud if the
Returning Board had adopted the Democratic:
figures instead of those they are said to have
used, the result of the vote for Presidential
Electors would have been tho same. Vernon
Parish had no decisive effect upon the vote of
the State. If the Returning Board had seen fit
they might have rejected the whole vote of
Vemon Parish 'without beingaccountable to any
human power for doing .so. There seems to
have been no motive for the olfense charged ;
and the act itself if proved could have injured
and defrauded no one.
There are other and weighty objections urged
against the legality and validity of the informa-
tion, which go to" show that this prosecution
must certainly result in the acauittal of the
accused. Hence the inference forces itself irre-
sistibly upon every candid mind that the prose-
cution is intended solely for political effect.
This inference acquires almost the force of
full proof, when we recall the circumstances
under which the information was filed, that
the first Grand Jury had declined to indict the
Returning Board, and that the succeeding
Grand Jury likewise failed to do .so, and seem
to have been driven, only at the eleventh hour,
to the unprecedented course of recommending
the Prosecuting Attorney to inaugurate a pro-
secution by information, which they had them-
selves declined to take the responsibility of
commencing by indictment.
It has been authoritatively asserte<l that Gov.
Nicholls discountenances th'is prosecution, upon
the ground that it is a •riolation of the faith of the
Legislature pledged in the act of amnesty and
obUvion already referred to. The title of the
State officials is in no manner affected by the al-
leged utterance and publication of the returns
of "Vemon Parish. Their right is unchallenged.
Tho title of the Presidential Electors is alone
sought to be impaired, or at least, brought into
disrepute. AVhcn we recollect that Judge Black,
in his article, singles out the returns from Ver-
non Parish as a special subject of assault in con-
nection with the return of the Hayes Electors
by the Returning Board, it is reasonable to in-
fer that this prosecution has lieen inspired or
stimulated through Northern Democratic InHu-
ences,andthat.irregtilar, tardy, andf utile though
it be, it is designed for use in the Fall campaigns,
before its groundlessness and illegtdity can pos-
sibly be judiciallv expo.*«d.
It is stated by "the Herald of Julv 17 that the
original returns of Vemon Parish are now io
the possession of Mr. David Dudley Field. Tliis
fact supports the theory that the prosecution of
the Louisiana Returning Board is intended
' raerelv for Democratic capital ; nt the same time
it shows that the New-Orleans Grand Juries
have been right in refusing to present a bill of
indictment against the members of the Return-
ing Board for uttering and publishing a false
return, when the return itself was not in evi-
dence before them, and was far beyond their
reach. It further shows that the Prosecuting
Attorney in New-Orleans could have bad no suf-
ficient ground for filing on information iu the
case.
New-Tokk, Monday, July 30, 1677.
THE XATWy Ay D THE STATES.
The Nashville (Tenn.) Ameriean. a Democratic
jonnial, is much struck by the " vnst change" which
has came over the country in the past 20 years. In
an article referring to the helplessness of the State
Governments, as displayed in the late labor difficul-
ties, it says : " The popolace smile at local anthority,
and derisively theow stones at tho State military.
There is no difference in tlie fighting qoahtles. In-
deed, the dtizen-soldiers ore equal to the regulars in
that respect, and often superior. The one part of
reality is present with both. Tho United States
troops ore armed with the other nine porta — the in-
corporeal— the idea of overshadowing and invincible
po^er — that which has shown itsoU uuconqnerahle —
that against which Lee and Jackson hurled
the legions of the South, the bravest of the
brave, for four years of almost incessant "vie-
tory, only io end at la^t iu dlKastroos, final,
and irretrievable defeat. Then the United States
Government acquired the idea of great power which
which is of so much more value than even power
itself. Half the foes of such a power quatl before the
idea, and the blow never has to be struck. It is this
idea of the invincibiUty of the L'nited States which
causes mobs to molt away before the advance of a
Imndful of regulars, when thev lau^h at Militia, and
deride the efforts of armed Police. It is not desirable
that we recnr to a time when the Vnited States had
no power. It L< certainly not possible. In a Govern-
ment like ours, however, it is desirable, when the
powers are lUstributed. to have each arm efficient,
and each respected and feared by wronj*doers. The
States, which are primarily chanced with the prote*!-
tion of life and property, are either to be made effi-
cient or to abdicate their functions in favor of the cen-
tral power. No part of government can retain pow-
ers it will not or cannot use. Tlio power of pursuing
order and enforcing law is a necessary one. No gov-
cmment can esist without it. hurt no government
can afl'ord to neglect violent and unlawful dem-
onstrations. If the Estates alxlicate their functioiw.
and confess their belpleasiiess, t lien tiie people will,
of their own motion, quietly, and without legal en-
actment, transfer -it to some other quarter. The
efficient part of government is that wliieh commands
respect and compels men. without the necessity in
most cases for action at all — that creation of the
mind, that respect for power and deference to au-
thority, which allays excitement and quells insur-
rection without ever striking a blow, when jwople
know it can and will strike. As sure as the States
do not preserve that respect tlxey were intended to
have, they will turn over all the efficient part of gov-
ernment to the Federal power. Men most respect
and revere the power of the Stales within their
sphere of well-denned local government or they "will
despise their weakness and triply arm the Federal
Government with power, and the ability and will to
do, and that which ia worth more than power, re-
spect for it, and faith in the certainty and ef&cieney
of its exercise." ^ ^
avys OF THE FBEyCH FIELD ARTJLLEET.
Two batteries of each of the 19 regiments of
artillery of the French Army have either lately had
issued to them or will shortly receive new steel field
pieces of 95 millimetres calibre. There are, there-
fore, at present three classes of guns in the French
field artillery-^namely, the 75, • the 85, and the 95
millimetre pieces. The new gun consists of an inner
tube of cast-steel, surrounded by rings of puddled
steeL Its weight is 700 kilogrammes, its length 2.5
metres, and it is rified with 28 grooves, having an
incrwfrwTTig twist. The gun is a breech-loader, closed
with an Eastman screw. Tiie vent is placed so that
the cartridge is ignited ata point aboat half its length
from the bottom of the bore. The shell for the gtm
weighs eight kilogrammes, and contahis a bursting
charge of 415 grammes. Percussion fuses only are pro-
vided both for the common and shrapnol shell. The
charge consists of 2.1 kilo^animes or coarse-groined
Castan powder, which gives the projectile a high
initial velocity. At 2,000 metres range the velority
is still 279 metres per second, and at 4,000 metres
247 metres. A new pattern of carriage has also been
designed for the 95 millimetre gun. composed of
Bteel plates, and fitted -with a simple elevating screw,
by wmch the necessary elevation for 6, 550 metres
range can be given. Fresh limbvis and ammunition
wagons will not be manufactured, but those already
in use will be altered, so that each battery shall carry
with it 90 rotmds per gun. i |

GEOZOQT OF TEE WEST,
WHAT WAS StJGOESTED BY THE BOBINQ OP
AN AKTESIAK WELL FOB THE IKSANE
ASYLUM AT sir. LOUIS.
Drom the St LovU Sepubliean.
In boring the artesian well at the Insane
Asyhnn, St Louis, the anger penetrated 3,800 fe«t,
going through 200 feet of coal measures, 500 feet of
sub-carboniferous limestones. 1,000 feet of Devo-
nian aud 2,000 feet of upper aud lower sUuriau, aud
iu the bottom cut a brown ferxugiuoua aandatone,
supposed to be of Potsdam age.
Tois sandstone carries the fossU of a marine ani-
mal known as a trilobit«, and establishes the fact
that at 3.500 feet in depth bt-low the present level
of the MissLsaippi River, and the ^vemeuta walked
by tile busy population of St. Louis, once rolled the
waves of a Silurian ocean.
We will suppose tMs aucer hole is a shaft 6 by 10
feet square from the surface to the bottom of the
hole, and that we have the privilege of going down
and eiamining the strata iu its sidias a« they would
appear from the records shown by the boring as the
auger penetrated the strata.
Firet we pass 20 feet of alluvial brick clay, then
40 feet of pipe^day, shaley limestone, aud fire- clay,
and at 60 feet deep find a three-foot vein of coal ; at
200 feet we reach the upper Archimedes lime-
stone, the samel stratum tliat is exposed at the top of
the deep quarr>' on Tayon-avenue, and which con-
tains fossil fish ; this is also the same age of rock as
the Grafton quarry. B»*low this ia the St. Louis lime-
stone, and next another floor of Keokuk or Archi-
medes limestone, a rock filled with fossils. At 1,200
feet we reach the great salt and oil floors of the
MLs-sissippi basbi. This stjratum comes to-day 30
miles below the citv on the I. M. and S. B. R., and
west 30 miles on "tho M. I*. K. B., and from a
quarrv south of tho city that furnished the rock
to build the basement of tho Four Courts, and as
that rock weathers, its black, mottled color is due
to the bitumen which the heat of Summer baa
brought to its surface. Chicago ia built on tills geo
logical horizon, and strata in quarry west of that city
are filled with bitumen aud petroleum. If space would
admit, we might trace this floor throughout tho
length and breadth of the ereat basin of the Missis-
sippi and show where it rfoes to-day, and has again
gone down 4.000 and 5,0U0 feet under the coal
laeaisures of the grand prairies of Illinois and Kan-
t:as, and is formetl in a great basin In Venanifo Conu-
ty, Penn.. and this again subdivided in lesser basins,
and where the economic laws had stored the rich
Hoora of petroleum that have proveu such a source of
national wealth. But we must ro downward. At
2,000 feet we have reached the Niagara group of the
upper sUuriau seriea, a rock rich in fossils, and of the
same age as that over which the great cataract poura
its thundering falls. | This j*ock also forms the table-
lands of lowa^ west K>f Dubuque, aud is the forma-
tion of the miimmUlary outlving mountains, that
mark such a conspicuous feature in tlio topograpliy
of the uppor Mississippi lead field.s ; also lorni.s Iho
mound system of the great lead nud zinc fields of
Central ilissouri. Belo^' this we reaoli the "Tren-
ton limestone," a member of the Silurian system, and
same age of rock as found sht-lving out at low-water
mark on tlie Mississippi Klver opposite Dubuque,
Iowa and whore the weathering of the slabs has ex-
p08e<i iu an embosned form the tribe of tho ortAo«rc-
ratites. These fossils are there seon six and
10 feet in lenctli. and with their enameled
scales and bucklers were the mailed war-
riors of Ltho hilnrian neas. Delow wo Jind

stone, and (foraline limestone, the same ago of rock
as that which abuts n-rtiinst the Iron Moun-
tain on its west t-ide, and Is tho great lead. zinc, cop-
per, and iroh-benring rock of southeast Missouri. In
passing the Archimedes floor in the subcarboniferous
system, we were iu the horizon of strata that carries
the great load and zinc veins of youth- west 3kni>souri.
And in passing, the Niagara and Trtmton itroups we
were inthe horizon of the blue shales. cai>-rook, uj>-
jier and lower galena and blue limestone of tlie nu-
jwr Mississippi lead field. On reaclilng the hottom
of our shaft we find a coarse, br«>wn. fermginous
sandstone : and we might in the imagination follow
this tloor to \^liertt it rises to-day around tho Iron
Mountains, 100 miles south of tlm city, aud where it
dips under thb great coal basins of i-eutral Illinois
and Kansas, and comfs to-day on the shores »if Lake
Pepin, Lake Superinr, and covering large areas in
northern Wisconsin, being the stratum that bears the
great pine flora of that Sute. and to where it extend*
out from the "great l>afiiu" in along finger through
central New-Vork."
We liave now a p»>noral idea of tlie nudcrirround
system under this city; and if we go back in tho im.
agination to the time when the strata of the upper,
middle, aud lower coal ^eries hml bi'en laid down,
and the inaugnration of tho river systems com-
meured. wd shall find tliat the coal vein of St. Louis
County coal h.'t3in and the IlUnoi-s coal baMn in that
era lav in solid strata where tho Missisgippi River
now llows — that tho strata were elev.-ited nh'ngthe
line noSv followed by the river, and 3O0 feet of rr.al
measures and St. I^ouis liuicstone has born abrndt-d,
and a coal vein for 10 miles wido has IwM'n cut away
to form tlie valley through which tho river now flows

TTOUK J.y TRE DETROIT PO&T OFFICE.
'•Some time In 1874," says the Detroit
Tribune, " the General Superintendent of the United
States Railway Mail Service Issued orders that a
searching examination be made of all the route
agents and railway post office clerks In the employ of
the Government, with a view to the weeding out of
unfit and incompetent men. Mr. James E. White,
Superintendent of tho Sixth DiWsIon, comprising the
States of nUnolB, Iowa, Michigan. Minnesota, Wis-
consin, Nebraska, Dakota, and Wyoming, took the
necessary steps iu compliance with this order. The
Michigan employes were examined at Chicago until
Jantiary of this year, when they were turned over to
Mr. S. A.Griggs, Superintendent of Mails in the Detroit
Post OfQce, whose commission as chief head clerk of
the railway service in Michigan had arrived two or
three mouths previous. The examinations since pur-
sued by Mr. Gri^a have been very thorough and sat-
isfactory In their results, and the route agents of
Michigan are to-day classed among the beat in the
United States. A brief outline of the manner in
which an examination la conducted may be of Interest.
In this State there are about 200 route agents, and
1, 247 offices for tho receipt of mail matter, such as
letters, postal cards, newspapers, &c. The object is
to try to so familiarize the route asent with the loca-
tion of every small Post Office ui the State that
he will make no mistakes in* distributing
the mail matter which goes through his
hands on the train. Once a monUi Mr.
Griggs summons eight or ten men to report
themselves at liis office at a i^rtaln day and hour.
If the candidates are habitually careless or poorly
posted in their duties, they will toe tho mark on tho
eventful »iay with many misgi\-lng8 and faces expres-
sive of mucb inward woe and contrition. Eatm of
the men is furnished with a shallow ■ frame or case,
containing quite a number of small^ ct)mpartinenta or
pigeon holes, representing the vario^is county offices
m the State. These he ia required to label correctly,
and, having done so, 1,247 small cards, bearing the
zuunes of all tlie Post Offices in the State, big aud
little, are put into his hands for distribution. The
operatiou fa to bo performed as rapidly as though the
box wore ou the train and the cards were all letters.
When the distribution Is finished, tho work Is exam-
ined by Mr, Griggs, who submits to his superior
a detailed statement of the examination and its
results. At the last examination, for instance, Mr.
Sobersides made only sLi mistakes and one omission
in the distriburiou of liis 1,247 cards. Mr. Slingem-
fltrai^t did even better, making only one mistake.
MrTfiifallible made no mistake at all On the other
band Mr. V. K. Reliable lost his self-posaeasion, be-

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

the fire was extinguifihed by Russian soldiers. Anum-

ish house, wheu one 'of them was killed by a shot
from a window. TliS! comrades immediately rushed
into the house and 4i-''paitched the two Turks found
there. Two powderinaiguziues were blown up by tho
Russians during fhedombat of yesterday.
At 2 this afternoon the long line of Turkish piis-
oners began to file do^viii the road leading from the
citadel to the river. ' \\'ben tlie bank was reached
they squatted upoii 'tho sand and coolly awaited
transportation to the Roumanian side of the Danube.
They were all regulars, i the Bashi-Bazuuks aud Cir-
cas.sKins having ;;one [uwisy some time ago. Ahmed
and Ha-ssan Pasha.s, the commanders of the Turkish
troops, are among the prisont^:)*. Nut many inhabi-
tants remain in Nikopolis. The Turks J saw to-day
appeared to be objects of nomplote indifTerence to
the Ku.ssian soldiers; and were ptnuitted to wander
about in a scared sort of niunuer. as though unable

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

hardest falls of the dajr occurred in this part of tlie

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

ment that the party paying It should recover
the amount with interest. The Collector appeals. The
relationship, if any, between the deceased and the
devisees does not appear. The identity of names is
suggestive upon the point, but no facta In relation to
it are contained in the record. It is conceded that
under the United States statute of 1864 the tax
would have been a proper one. The statute of July
14, 1870. repealed the taxes imposed by the act of
1864 ou legacies and successions after tho first day of
August, 1870. (10 Stat. XT. S., 261, sec 17.) the
repealing act contained the following proviso :
" And all acts and parts of acts relating to the taxes
herein repealed ; und (that) all tho pro\isions of said acts
shall contbiue in fuU force for le^•yin(I and collecting all
taxes properly asne&sed or liable to b*j assessed, or accru-
ing under the provtsions of former acts, or drawbacks,
the right to which haS' already accrued, or which may
hereafter Bccme. imder sold acts, aud for maintaining
and continuing liens, flncs, penalties, and forfeitures in-
curred under and by virtue uierecf, and this act shall not
be coiistmcd tu uffcci any act done, right accrued, or pen-
alty Incurred undtjr former acts, but every such act is
hereby saved-"
The Collector insists that tho tax upon the succes-
sion in question liad accrued before tho repeal of the
act of 1864, to wit : That it accrued upou the death
of tho testator in 1867. The devisees contend that
the tax did not accrue until they came into the pos-
session of the land, and tliat before this occurred the
statute authorizing the tax was repealed. Tlie ques-
tion is. when did the ripht to this tax accrue —
at the death of the testator, or at the death
of the widow, wheu the plaintiff became en-
titled to the possession of tho land T By the
statute of lj^64, as a part of a system of taxa-
tion made uecessaiy by the existence of a civil war, a
tax was imposed uj^m the " Fu<vessiou to real est tte."
(13 Statutes at Large, 287.) Tho term "real
estate" was defined to inclndo all lamlri,
tenements, hereditaments, corporeal and incorporeal,
and a "succession" was deci8r»;d to denote "the
devolution of title to any real estate." (Secrion 120.)
By section 127 it is provided tliat ony disposition by
will or deed or descent, by reason whereof ony j>er-
Fon shall become Ifcneficially entitled in possession
or expectjmcy to any real estate or any interest there-
in upon the death ot* any person, shall be deemed to
confer a suecesMon. The argument made upon this
section bv tlie plaiutlflf in error, tliat the will of
"William F. Ma-^on conveyed an estate to William P.
Ma*»on and Charhs H. Parker, and that although thoy
Were not entitled to immediate jtofisession, they had a
vested estate, and that the succes.^ion to such an estate
was made taxai>Ie. we readily admit. We agree fur-
ther that vested estates not only, but estates which
are not vestc-d. tho-'^e in expectancy merely, are with-
in the statute. (Winiple vs. Forda. 2 John, R. 288.)
The admission, however, does not aid us in deciding
tho point before us. as the question of time still
arifcs. when is this vested estate ta.xable. Tlio de-
cision is that the .succession i.** not taxable until the
successor Is entitled to poswsslon. In this case the
successor did not bec-omo entitled to the pos.sessiou
or eujo\Tnent of the estato until the death of the
widow, which ocmrred June 17, 1K72 ; the wivintr
'clause therefore does not reach the ca?e. Affiimed.

BBIGHA2I TOVNO TO THE CHILDREN.
The Salt Lake Herald of Julf 26 s&jb : *' ThiS
Pioneers' Day could not be mors appropriately cele-
bnited ♦i*^" it was by the grand Sunday-school jubilee
at the Tabernacle on the 24Ui. Tlie in^at buiiaius
had been magnificeDtly decorated with one of the
finest floral dl-ijilayB ever witncss«>d iu America. Tht
whole dome of the building ws'^ fcstoouod with
wreaths of flowers intertwined wiih e^'crgrecns. and
artistically arranged, while the space around the gal
lerles waa tastefully ornamented with festoon«; and
banging llower baskets. Many huudredi^ of fail
hands must have been engaged for weeks in prepar-
inir the mat^riBls for this grand displ.ay. and a finex
tribute could scarcely be paid to the memories of the
heroes and heroines of the day celebrated. The body
of the Tabernacle waa rosex^^d for tho Sundav-
schools, and waa pretty well filled with the neatly
dressed, happy children, who seemo^l to enjoy the ■
grand scene and their own part In the exercises ■•X
the day. The galleries were occupied by .spectators,
and appeared lo be crowded, the chairacter of the
audience showing a general Interest tn the eiercLies-
The programme, wtJch consisted prlncipallv of songs
by the children, waa dlversiflec bv mu.-iic by the
Teutli Ward band, oraan solos, recitations, and au
address by President Brlgharo Young. During th*f
exercises lemonade and bans wore frMlv distributed
among the children 12,000 of the latter being re-
quired to satisfy aJd. It was tJie remark of g'^od
ju-'gesthat tho children performed their parts a '1-
mirably, showing careful fraining and attention by
their teadiers. Very much of tho success of the
entertainment is dne' to the thorough drilling which
the loaders of the ward choirs aad given tho
Supils for the last few weeks. Evcrj-body seemed ti»
e pleased with the naturalness and kweetue^^ of tha
music President Young's address was an answer to
the auestlon, 'Why are we herel' lie revJowod
comprehensively the history of tho Latter-djiv Sa,iiiU-
and their wanderings from the time Jusepli Smitii
discovered the Book of Mormon to the day. just HC
years ago. when the speaker with the fir*t company
of Vtoh nilgrims passed thrpugh En»,jrrati«in _ Otiiou
aud pitched their tents in this city. Tliey were
driven here by persecution, and they came here tc
stay and build up a i>aradise in tlie desert. The*
were now the happiest and best people on earth. aii<i
had realized many of their anticipations by cominir tt
this part of the countrj-. In conclusion, Presid.mt
Young gave tho children some good advure on the
bi^is uf the commandment : Serve God and honor
your parents. The address was listened to with dei^p
attention by the andience, and the entire celebration
was of a character to be lonf; and pleasantly remem-
bered by all participating In It."

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

A combined demonstration of railroad
employes, miners, ami other artisans on
strike at Scranton led yesterday to a serious
riot, and tjO the loss of several lives. It is
the oM story of workmen joining with vaga-
bonds in tbe pursuit of robbery, arson, and
niiuder, assuming the position of rebels
ugf.inst law and order, and thus depriving
of all sympathy their efforts to procure the
redress of gi'ievances which may be of a
l--' rfectly tangible character. The law-
f. biding peoplo of tho United States will
'regret, not tliat three or four of the Scran-
tou rioters were killed, but that the rifles
of tho volunteer company cliarged with
tiie •5>rotPction of X'^operty did not
do more execution. It is inconceivable
that, men sliould be worked up to tlio pitch
of trxa:-i>eration shown yesterday at Seran-
ton -without ha-i-ing a great many real as
"Well as fancied -wrongs to complain of. But
it is einially obvious that after their resort
tCithe tactics of the rulKan and the thief,
tipy -\vill have less chance of obtaining a
.ijearing for their complaints than if they
had never struck at all.
We publi.'ih to-day a communication set-
ting forth with great clearness and force
the merits of the prosecution of tho Louis-
iana Returning Board. The ^vriter points
out that though the alleged misdeeds of
t4io Bo;)i".l were brought to the notice of the
lir.Mid Jury which w":is in session from Jan-
uu ly to March, and though another attempt
t»i procure an indictment was made before
tiie Grand .Tury -which was in serssion during
the following throe months, both bodies re-
fuse d to bring in a true bill against Messrs.
Wki.ls, As'DEli.sox,. and their associates.
Tiie j.rosHcution now pending against the
Itetnrning Board was opened by an
information filed by tho District Attor-
ney after the adjournment of the Grand
JiuTV. That information charges the
Bfrard witli '• publishing as ta'ue a certain
altered, false, forged, and counterfeited
public record," viz., tlie Supervisors' re-
l^urns of election from Vernon Pariah, But it
happens that the tabidated statement of the
Superv^isors is, in no ^ense, a public record
at aU> that the returns of the Commission-
ers of Elections are the only ones to -which
the law obliges the Returning Board to pay
any heed ; that the Board had ample pow-
ers to reject any returns which they be-
lieved to be vitiated by violence or fraud,
and that the returns of Vernon Parish,
wliether coimted according to the Super-
visoi"8' summary or otherwise, -wotdd not
have changed the result of the election
in the State. On the motives -which led to
tJLlis farcical and malicious prosecution, com-
toeut is unnecessary,
Theliossian advance soath of' the Bal-
kans has e-ridently received a serioua check,
And .^n their nnsoocesaful eSoria oi^ the
other side! of the mountains to capture
Ple-vna— -a fortified town to the south of
Nikopolis--they have suffered severe losses.
In Englatid, this temporary f:»lure of Rus-
sian strategy has been magnified into a
ci-ushingidefeat along the whole line, and
our correispondent reports that the Czar is
believed I to be anxious to conclude peace,
the term4 of which are given in detail. It
is safe toj assume that Russian defeats can
only incrbase the determination of tho Em-
pire to dictate its own terms where they will
have some chance of being listened t(j). That
■will certainly not be short of Adrianojile, and
it will ne^d a more tlu-eatening attitude on
the part i>f England and Austria than they
have yet fehown to induce the Muscovite in-
vader to stop short of Constantinople itself.
That the I Turks fight well, now that tliey
have at list turned to face the enemy, will
not l>e,ccmsidered surprising by any atten-
tive reader of these columns. That their
ultimate defeat is merely a question of time
can hardly be doubted by any one who has
gained the most superficial acquaintance
-ft'ith the resources of the two combatants.
Perhapb the most suggestive itenl ,bf our
special dispatches by cable is the announce-
ment of lihe formation of an International
Catholic League with' an organization which
looks -wonderfully iierfeet on pap^r, and
with aims -which are calculatcil to giye Eu-
ropean Liberals a very bad fit of wliat wo
may be [permitted to eatl Pap.iphobia.
There are numerous good people iin this
country who will reg.ird the League land its
objects as portentous signs of the aggressive
policy n^w in favor at the Vatican, aii'l
there aro foolish persons who will fiml iu
them fre^h arguments forstre'ngthening cer-
tain ridiculous orders of '" Knights." '" Broth-
erhoods," and so forth, which are supf^osed to
constitute effective bulwarks of the I'rot-
estant fa^th. It m.iy profitably be borne in
mind thai the most etieotivc agency against
the spreatl of Roman Catholicism is modern
enlighteniment, and that the most in
method of narrowing the territory
which the Church can make new coiiquests
is to dinainish tho area of popiUar igno-
rance. To try to circumvent Rome by
parod3*in^ the organization of tlie half-re-
ligious, lialf-railitary ordei"s of the Middle
Ages is about as childish as this lajtest at-
tempt of Rome itself to silence her assail-
ants by ^ vast system of espionagi; and a
frequent resort to libel suits.

THE OH II) I'LATFOUM.
The performance at Cleveland does not
fulfill the promise. S\\' were to have ;|, whole-
souled iujdorseraent of the Administration,
and we have in.stea'i an expression I of ap-
proval so guarded and general us to indicate
the dissension wliieh, as regards thei^oiitii-
ern policy, exists within the party.
Tlie declaration that tho party in the
State "c|)rdially approve and support " thi-
President's "' efforts for the pacification of
the countty " i.s, perhap.s, the best compro-
mise possible in the eireumstauco". i But it
is a- compromise, and a somewhat [evasive
compromise into the bargain, H"ith w"}iatcver
gain attaches to it on the side <^* tlho -Vd-
ministi"ation. As the convention , was evi-
dently organized ort the basis of n!ci)OcUeney.
5S"o take', it for granted, that to repress
the elements of diseonteut thi iru
nounced friends of tho Presi'ii'iit were
constrained to hold iu check thifir own
convictions. It was necessary to | muzzle
the implaeables, and the moderate's w-en-
required, in turn, to abate the Warmth nf
their derotion. The spectacle is not a
pleasant one, considered from a lof iiy point
of view, but, manifestly, there was no es-
cape froiii it. Trimming was inevitable as
the price of peace. .-Vn'i the result is simply
this : The Ohio Republicans accept tho Pres-
ident's Southern action as an accomplished
fact. They wisely refuse to quarrel about
the nature of the action or its consequences,
and, admitting the purity of the I'residenfs
motives, they practically dismiss the whoh-
subject as no longer deserring of | contro-
versy. The subsequent resolution, assert-
ing a ])urpose to "'maintain and en-
force" ^he policy involved in tho con-
stitutional amendments, must go for
what it is wortli. If -it- mitigate
the disappointment of those who were ready
to wage war aga;iiist the President, well.
No harm is done. The Southern problem is
solved aid the party in Ohio acquiesce in
the solution. There the matter eiul.s.
On thel financial question the utterance of
the eonvtotion is not much more satisfac-
tory than that of the Democracy, I'erhaps
we shouli be thankful that it is not worse.
Had Mr. Stanley Mattfiews can-ied his
point, the i party would have outrun the
Democrats* in tho race of financial
folly. As tho case stands, the Ohio Bepubli-
cans commit themselves to the remonetiza-
tion of silver and to making it ah unlimited
legal tender wherever gold is not specifically
providedjf or. The proposition so to regulate
it that itgj value shaU bo kept equal with that
of goldj is an absurdity, whiqh may
bo set aside as unworthyjof attention. Xo
legislatioix can bring about the result which
is put forth as desirable. What dqcs con-
cern us is the fact that financial deraagogism
has borne its fruit, and that a Republican
convention afiirms a policy under which the
interest 4n'i principal of the funded loan
-would be payable in a depreciated coin-
age. The declaration should not sur-
prise lis. The tone of the local
press, the injudicious trifling with gi-eat
principled -which may be justly chafged
against persons high in authority, the mis-
chievousl meddling of Mr. Mathews — the
evil genius of tho party iu ©tSbiSs well as of
the Federal Administration — and the de-
moralization which in matters of I finance
prevails more or less throughout tho
West, all servo to make this reso-
lution a thing of course. It is hu-
miliating that a party -whose f nancial
record "W is down to a recent date eminent-
ly honor£.ble,-should lend itself to tlie silver
scheme and its attendant evils. If there is
to be panial repudiation, wtich the legaliza-
tion of liilver as a tender for the pay-
ment of all dehts clearly implies, it would
be better to leave to the Democracy a
monopobr of the disgrace. At any
rate "we look to the National Administration
to give no encouragement to a policy
fraught vrith danger to the credit iihd the
business of the country. The TlreasuTy
should he regulated ty fixed and soimd
ideas of iSuty.^not by the impracticable and
misohievpus theories of an Ohio Contention.
As regiirds the Teias-Pacifio the wiles of
Mr. Mathews seem to have been: nopera-
tive. The conveutioa condemoB in. em-
phatic i phifases the -whole subsidy system,
and deprecates its renewal in any shape.
There is no consolation in" the platform for
ColjSCOTT.j
The resolution referring to the strikes
alid the policy to be adopted by the Govern-
ment toward the railroads deserves thought-
ful consideration. As an expression ef
sympathy ivith suffering labor, it stands in
marked contrast to the cheap demagogism
of the I Democratic platform. As an indica-
tion or the direction in vyhich public atten-
tion has been turned by th« events of
the lalst fortnight, it is very suggestive.
Sotne of the objects pointed out may be
imattamabie, but the necessity of revising
the raijroad question, and readjusting the
relatiojis of companies to the Government
and the public is too apparent to be much
longer' disregarded. The Ohio Republi-
cans, with till their faults, are entitled to
credit for the breadth and courage of their
opinions u^on this subject.

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

Since it has been judicially determined
that tliis indabtedness is not due until the
matlirity of the subsidy bonds, interest can-
not be c-jiaputed niton the amounts paid
by the T "e.isury. The annual interest
upon the amount o.ved by th? Unioii
I'aeilici is :?l,lj;} I, I'.tO, and upo;i that
oweil by tho Central Pacific and Western
P.ieificL (till? tw"o having been amalgamated, )
.$1,<'>71,31H. Any annual payments by
tlies:> corajtanies less than the foregoing
sums will leave the pri'seut iudebtedness a
constantly increasing q-.iantity, e.vcept so
r.ir as it may be re'luoel by compjuiiding
the interest on such payments semi-annual-
ly. Statements have been put forth from
lime to time implying that the sum due to
the Government in 1S97 will be bet.yeen
three and four liundred millions of dollars.
such statements boing intended to cr-ate a
lielief in the public mind that any kind of
a settlement with the railroads now would
be better than waiting till the loan com"s
due. What the agt,'regato iii.lel>tedness
would be if the law were different — that is,
if it werel such that compound interest
eould be claimed by the Gj-vernra-ut— is
nothing to the puriw>.->e. We arc< only eon-
eeriied with the law as it is. It prjvides
merely for the reimbursement of moneys
av'tually paid out of the public Trcas;iry.
It was la hard bargain, but it is n, b-.irgain,
and while the railway comp'auios insist that,
the Gijveminent shall stand up to it, it is
for' tho Government to insist that they
stand up toi it also, and fortunately the two
principal cbmpauies are quite able to do so.
The letter of Sidney Dillon, President of
the Unioil Pacific Railroad Company, to
.Secretary Bristow broug'nt this important
subject to the attention of Congress about
two years ago. In this letter Mr. Dillon
reminds the Secretary that there is a large
debt aecumulating against his company in
favor Of the Government, and that if tho
coihpany allows it to accumulate till matu-
rity, it [the company] '" will probably be
utterly unable to pay it,'' and furthermore,
tluit the ti overnmeut " will be uuable to
coljlect it, t.xeept upon the assumption that
it will! advance the money to discharge
;;;"iO)" uiortijtiijes and run the road on Govern-
ment ilccoiint^ — a policy w'nich wise states-
mansl^ip eould uot advise." There being
only o|ne mortgage ahead of the Govern-
ment's mortgage, the usq of the plural noun
to conyey iMr. Dillon's idea is not appro-
priatei Nd>r is he justified in dropping so
suddenly the character of railway Presi-
dent ^nd I taking up that of statesman,
to : assure the Government that it
would! be ! unwise for the latter to pay
off tho fh"st} mortgage and operate the road
as ', Government i)roperty. Wliat it will bo
wise for thb Government to do twenty years
hence will depend upon many things to
happen meanwhile, and especially upon the
then condition of the civil ser\iee. The
best managed railways in Europe, and tho.se
giving the highest satisfaction to the public,
ar^ the Government railways of Belgium
and Gfermany. At present, wo grant, it
would not i be wise for the Government to
undertake tin extensive job of railway man-
agement. ' But the necessity of doing so
twenty years hence, even in the case pro-
pounded by citizen Dillon, is not apparent.
It can lease the property at a fixed rental,
or it can sell tho whole to a new company.
The plain duty of the Government twenty
years hence will be to pursue ^its property
wherever found, and get as much out of it
as possible.
The motive which impelled President
Dillon to! bring up the subject was evi-
dently thisL and here is the key to the whole
matter, The stockholders of the Pacific
Bailwiys hold a terminable annuity having
twenty years to run, the amount of the an-
nuity depending upon the earning capacity
of the roads, but limited iu any case to 10
per cpnt.!"on the cost of the roads."
What the cost was has never been judicially
determined, but is liable to be. They would
naturally like to convert this terminable an-
intol a permanent holding, Provided

That body has passed a series of rieketty

and other virtues, were a bulwark flung
around thE City of Buffalo during the late
crisis; and;itit;as further resolved that "the

the Mayor of Buffalo, duiiug the riot, by a
Xew-York newspaper, is not only imworthy
the high Clara cteri and influence it has at-

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

CHEAP SUMMER MESORTS.
The great consideration this year for
pleasure-seekers is economy. To find
places iu the mountains or by the sea which
are cheap and passably comfortable is
the problem. The American Summer trav-
eler is so much in the habit of making it an
essential point of his plea.sure to spend
money freely, or at all events not to have
to look closely after prices, that it will be a
new experience for htm to economize. But
it is evident that for this year at
least he has ina<le up his mind to
learn the diflicult lesson. It is a great
mistake to suppose that nice economical
places for Summer resorts cannot be found
in this country as well as in any other. Cf
course, whoever chooses them must ex-
IJect no great variety of dishes or
eft'oit at " style.'' He must be con-
tented to get an appro-ximation to what
he enjoys at home. In fact, the disagreea-
ble thing at most of our hotels is the variety
of dishes and the noisy attempt to imitate
""style." Where in a small kitchen there
are numerous dishes prepared (at least in
America or England) nothing will be very
t;tiod. What peoi>le want is one good roast
or joint, nicely cooked, iiud fresh-vegetables,
and then what entrees the means of the es-
tablishment -will permit. The essentials are
good bread and meat, and fresh, pure milk
and eggs. If guests secure these, they can
ilispeuse with many other things. They do
not want pies, or iimumerable cakes, or
compounded dishes. If landlords would
only j.'ul the money they expend on these
dishes in the best meats, carved properly,
iiiid fresh vegeta'ules and fruits, they would
do all the public require.
What the general community seek for this
year is a jilace in pm-e air and near interest-
ing scenery, with a decent table, where the
prices are moderate, say from $7 to $10
]ier week for each person. There are plenty
(if these to be found. In first regarding the
sea-coast, our pleasure-seekers have an un-
equaled oj>poptunity along the whole coast,
from Hampton Koads to Mount Desert.
There is no spot where cheap houses can-
not be disL'Overed. The cream of all sea-
side resorts is, of course, Newport. Noth-
ing equal to it casts in America, and indeed
■,ve know- nothing in Europe surpassing it.
B'.it even here economical boarding-houses
can be found, cottages with cheap rooms,
or farm-hou&es on the coasts near by. where
you have all the beauty of the marine scenery
and Very ine.Kpeiisive board. Going north,
tlie pleasure-seeker discovers most lovely
resorts on the coast of Massachusetts, be-
tween ilarblehead and Muneliester. The
Beverly region surpasses even Rhode Island
in its wtjods and mingling of forest and sea,
and, though studded with villas, it offers
many quiet farm-houses and ciieap board-
ing-places. Mount Desert and the coast of
Maine are too well known to need d^erip-
tion. The gi'and combination of mountain
and wild oc-ean in the former is unique.
Tho table is indeed poor at most of the
farm-houses in Mount Desert, and not al-
ways low in price ; still, economical places
can be searched out, if not in the vil-
lage, at least in the neighboring region.
Again, still further north, the St. Lawrence,
with its htiliitans' cottages, offers a most
cool and picturesque Summer resort. The
""Murray Bay" French Canadians will rent
their cottages and pro^de excellently for an'
American family at a very low price. In the
interior of om- own countr}-_we have theAHe-
giiauies, \vith wild and cheap places of resort ;
the hilly country of Massachusetts and Con-
I nectieut — where low-priced board /can be
obtained amid very romantic scj/nes — and
the small towns of the Upper Hudson.
Perhaps the easiest and cheapest Sum-
mer resort for our citizens is 'in the cotuitry
of the Catskills. behind the mountains and
iu the various ravines or/'i"iver-%'alleys. The
great inducement for this resort is the ease
of access and cheapness of traveling outlay.
.\gain. Lake George and Lake Champlain
present many litt,l'e hamlets and solitary
houses on their borders, where Summer visi-
tors could be accommodated at very
moderate expense. The most charm-
ing resort' of all is the Adiron-
dack cou;itry. Here are plenty of farm-
houses alid inns where board is cheap, and
a family can enjoy the purest mountain at-
mosphere which this country affords and a
mpSt invigorating outdoor life. A camping,
t/ip is vei-y expensive, but this is not a ne-
/cessity. The number of economical places
amid the gi-andest mountain scenes or
by woody lakes, is increasing every year.
People have only to look-about to find them
out^ All these resorts ought to be made
known to the traveling public by diligent
advertising. As it is, most pleasure-hunters
are forced to learn about them by a good
deal of hard experience. But the same pos-
sibility exists here as in Germany or Switz-
erland of finding a Suinmer resort at once
comfortable and cheap, and near pleasant
or grand seener}-.
AN APPEAL FOR A GOOD CA USE.
To tliC Editor oj the Xew- I'vrk Times :
WUl you kindly jjermit the following brief
statement of facts to be placed before the pub-
lic in the columns of your valuable paper ?
The -imespccted amount of work devolving
upon the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children, and the . necessary expenses
attending it, have increased to that extent that
a larger amount of money than it has at com-
mand is needed to enable it to continue its
greatly needed labor. The character of the
society's operations is . now so well understood
and appreciated that it seems to be only neces-
sary to mention the fact that it needs aid to in-
duce those whose sjTupathies go out toward the
helpless, suffering little children to furnish with
pleasure the means to carry on our work.
Complaints reaching nearly 100 per month
are now beine received and attended to. Many,
of them are of a serious and aggi-avated charac-..
ter, and comparatively few of uem would have
been cared for without the action of the society.
During the post two months over 100 children
have been resuued Irum cruelty or awwciatious
.which would have residted in their becoming
paupers or criminals, many others have been
visited and influences brought to bear to better
their condition, and it is hoped that the work
win not be permitted to slacken for want of
funds. Subscriptions or donations will be grate-
fully received and acknowledged, and mav be iti-
closcd to either of the undersigned at So. 50

INTERNATIONAL CATHOLIC LEAGUE.
A PROJECT FOR THE RESTORATION OF T^E
TEMPORAt POWER OF THE POPE AND THE
ESTABLISHMENT OP THE SWAY OP T^E
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH THROtTGHOTTT
THE WORED — AGENCIES AND OBJECTS OP
THE NEW JORDER.
Special DispaieJt by Cable to The New-Tork Tii^es.
London, Aug. l. — ^Anew crusade is the
latest scheme df the Papal propagandists. The
Vatican has settled upon a grntid plan for a cru-
sade, to be called "The International Catholic
League." and the project has been sanctioned
by the Pope. The centre of th« new organiza-
tion is to 1^ at Rome, as a matteri of
course, and it|is to have a general fund, and
to be directeii by a committee at head-quar-
ters, with complete administrative organization,
with branches everywhere. Tlie declared ob-
jects of this Djew body are the defeiise of their
rights and fretjdom, in view of the laws adopted
against the Chlirch and Pope ; the re-establish-
ment of the tehiporal power of which the Pope
has been deprived by force : the restoration of
the rights of [the Holy See : the organization
and establishirlent of a (Catholic press in every
considerable cjentre, and the supporting of a
" general correspondent." who shall receive his
instructions frpm Rome, whose duty it shall be
to transmit thdm to the newspapers of his dis-
trict. The calumuies of the opposition press
are to be met by legal proceedings.
The Pope, in a private circular, expresses the
hope that all Catholic as^■ociations vnW unite in
this league, ami the nobility and clergy are or-
dered to unite in battling for the freedom and
the universal t<way of the Church. The Priests
and Bishops are urged to agree, all for one and
one for all. All the centres of the home:organ-
izations are to he in telegraphic communication
direct with tlie Vatican. This new scheme is
causing extraofrdinary excitement on the Conti-
nent, and may. in some measure, account for
the increasing friendlines.s of Italy and Ger-
many. Ir is aj curious fact that not one London
journal has any information on this remarkable
topic, but it isineyertheless a fact, which I haye
on the best authority. ,

AN ALL NIGHT AND ALL DAY SESSION ON THE
SOUTH AFRICAN" CONFEDERATION BILL —
FILIBUSTERIXO BY IRISH HOME RULERS —
THE BILL COMPLETED IN COMMITTEE —
THE IRliiH JUDICATURE BILL — STORMY
SCENES. :
London, Aupr. 1. — One of the most; extra-
ordinary sittings eyer held by the House of
Commons lh now proceeding. The House as-
sembled at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
before G o'clock had gone into Committee on
the South African Confederation bill, to which
there hiTs been at every stage long and persistent
obstruction by 3It-ssrs. I'amell, Biggar and O'Dou-
nell, occasionally as-sisted by one or two
other menioers. The struggle ■ lasted
tliroughout tho night, and led to nu-
merous scenes and incidents. The Gov-
ernment had detern.ined not to pt-rmit the
obstructionists to deft-at the measure, and had
the concurrence and supp^^'rtof the Liberals.
The sitting \^"a.s prolonged- by means of relays
of members.* ^lany left at V o'clock last night
to return at midnight. Fre-h relays came at I
and 7 o'clock.! and at regular inten'als after,
and the othcials and Police were relieved in th^*
same manner during the night. The excite-
ment was general throughout the Houso.
In the courso of the night's discussion Sir
Staffonl Northcote. Chancellor of tho Ex-
chequer. dtVIared tbut the Oovernraent in-
tended to -pass the bill if they had to sit through
the vacation. I'pon this, 3lr. .lohn O'Connor
Power, Liberal nu-mber for Miivo Couni,y. who
had been made aware of the Government ta*'-
tics. charged the Ifovernment with having or-
ganized a conspiracy to crush out the Irisli
members. |Immi-d lately the House whs
in a tumiiU. Thf Chairman demanded
the ■^\-ithdrawal of ih« word ' ••con-
spiracy." Mr. power tried to explain,
but the cries <?f " wUhilraw " drowned bts. voi<'e.
He linally wiilhdrow the expre.s.-4ion. 3rr. O'Don-
nell, ri.centl_\[ thcted for l)uni:ar^-en. having
tried to justify thf conduct of the obstruction-
ists, 3Ir. Butt, Liberal mcTuber for Limerick
City. declar«:il that ihe Irish Partv repuduited
3Ir.* O'Donnefl, and said that if he -thought 3Ir.
O'Donnell diijirfj>resi;nt the Irish Party, he [3Ir.
Butt] would retin-. as from an Irish brawl. Sir
Andrew Lu>k. Ltlx-nd mfinber for Finsbur>-.
said the pr<'Ceedini:s cut at tin; foundation of
constitutional goyernment. 3L-ssrs. 3Ionk, Lib-
eral member; for (^Jlouct-ster City, and Ander-
son, Liberal !nu-mber for Glasgow, urged ac-
tion by the (Jovernment. and >uggeste<l the ceu-
sureoi' iheobi^tructionisis. 31r. Gniy. rucmberfor
Tipperary, arid one of the obstnu-tiouists. said
the responsiLJility for the demoralization of th(?
Hou:^e rested'on Sir Stafford Northcote. Cliau-
coilor of tliH Kxf-'hequer. Srrouir measures
should have het*n taken at first.. Sir 'Sydliam
Vfruon-Harcpurt, Liia-ral ruL-niber for (Oxford
City, .said thi reiist)n that stronger action was
not taken was not on account- of the weukne;^s
of the House, but to show the charanter of tbt-
contumaciousnt"^s to the country, and givej th**
obstructioni.-sts rope enouirii. 3Ir. Gray cried,
'• Hear I hi-iir I" sne*-»Ho^]y. Sir Patrick
O'Brien, Liberal nieri>-"- lor Kings Counly,
objected to |tbis. iiuu -ntiniated that 3Ir.
Gray was a "humbug" and a "danuietl
fool," which expression he had to w-ith-
d raw as unparlianientary. At 10 o'clock! thi:>
morning 3Ir. Bigirar, Liberal member for Cavan
County, cam* into the. lIou.-^e, and took the op-
portunity, oi a liiotion to report progress, to ^ay
that he had liad a good sleep-and a good ibreak-
fast. aud was| now roady for any amount of legis-
lation- 3Ies4rs. I'anieil and O'Ctmnor Posver
then went oUt to n.-st. ndievctl by 31r. Bigirar
aud otiiers. ' .Inst liefore noou Sir Stall'oril
Northcote. having been advised by Kight
Hon. Edwa^ KuatchbuU-Hugessen, Liberal
member for ^andwwdi. to take strong and swiit
action in theiinatter. thanked his supporters for
the assistancp he hiwl received, and made a|tinal
app<^ to the] minority to j-ield, and hoped: that
in the absence of the lionorable gentleman
whom he e.fpecte^ to arrive shortly the com-
mittee would persevere with the bill. Mr.
O'lJonnell altf^ited to regard this as a tlireat of
coercion, and said that under the altered cir-
stauces he would retire from the | conteKt.j ' As
long as it was a tpiestion of physical endurance
he aud his friends were prepared to go ou. 'This
ended the contest, during which the Chairman
of the comn^tt<'e was relieved four times. There
were also several reliefs on the Tresisury benches.
There were altogether iiti diWsious.
At 2:10 Pj 31. the hill w:is completed in com-
mittee, ami<.( thunders of cheers several times
repeated, , 'llhe Mtene tliroughout was aiumated
and sometinj.'s stonny. Within recent hist<»ry
tliere has beni no parallel to this sitting. The
House of Cohmions sat 25 hours on the Slavery
Emancipatio'n bill, but not on account of olJ-
stmction. \
The Housle then proceede<l to take up other
bills. A \i<>lent scene followed in the discus-
sion of the .Jitdicature bill for Ireland, caused
by 3Ir. Pamelll Home Rule member for 3Ieath.
The House dually adjourned at 6:10 this even-

By rail to GH^rgtsvo, thence 14 hours in a
cart, and the weary traveler arrives at this little
river port, whichj henceforth will have its name
recorded in the Jusiory of the nineteenth cen-
tury. There ne^^er was a hotel in the place, as
no stranger ever i thought of stopping here, al-
though it has a [jopmlation of over 4,000 inhab-
itants^ and carri^a an. quite a thriving trado in
br^adstuffs befoiie tho war. At present accom-
modation and fobjd L^ still more difficult to ob-
tain, but as all the| specials carry their provi-
sions with the^, and sleep either in their
wagons or unde^ their tents, it is possible to
exist hero for aiftw hours. Originally there
was no intention] pf using this village, except as
a point from wh^ch jtp make a feint on Sistova,
while the real | attack was prosecuted from
Tumu-Magurelli'-^fr<l>m its position at the
mouth of the Oil i admirably calculated to serve
as a depot for t^idge materials — upon Nikopo-
lis. Unfortunaljclyrthe Turks at this fortress
made a very stubborn resistance, and the Grand
Btike wa.^ in de.spair at the failure of the enter-
prise when a dispatch from below informed
him that Sistoval'iiad! been carried and the ene-
my driven out. In Ishort, the raid, for it was
nothing else, had been a complete success, but
it necessitated ^ certain modification of the
plans. The l::;oIhmns intended for the
original operatjbnl were hurried down, and
crossed over as rapidly as possible,
and thence pu.shed pn into the interior— but so
far the movement has been a detached one. and
cannot become a gejneral advance, as the entire
bridge train stiH lies at TurnuOlagurelli. and
in spite of tho meyer-ceasing bombardment of
Xikopolis, everv effort to con.stmct the bridge
at that point has ht en rejiul-sed. This, I know.
is the true histoj-J" < f tho lirst scene of the cam-
paign, and the rlial pause of the sufferings of the
Utissian troops since their entry inu> Btilgaria.
Trovisions and .stores of all kin<la have been ac-
cumulated at ThrhuOIagurelli, nothing had
been prepared ai liimnicea— pronounced, and by
foreigners writh^nj Siranitza — and during the
three or four days' delay incident ujiou
transportation \?)' iox-carf, the men were on
very short rations. ! JThe one bridge now in uso
is nuide of poiti:opn boats, with a flooring of
planks, but is A^tirjemarkablo for its .solidity.
aud could be ilesljroyed very easily if the Captain
of anyone of tie jmonitors lying at Xikopolis
had the phu-k to make the attempt. Tfie easiest
method, and th ,* one employetl by me, to get
acros.s, is by a ijcw-buat, and now that the lodg-
ment has been ilrraly made on the* rijjht bank.
the authorities
permi.ssion to \f\^
lire luit very unwilling to grant
k at the scene of their tirst ex-
ploit; but you miist not attempt to examine their
works or give si^ns of too much curiosity.
The icquiriu;; mind is thus forced to take a
general survey of the position and pick up such
.stray scraps of information as may fall in his
way. Si^tovii— jcelebrated as theplace where the
treaty of peace of 1791 was signed between
the Porte and jtustria" — might have made a re-
spectable defen-^e ; it is built along the slopes of

A. BOY JIURXED TO DEATH.
A house and bam belonging to Jlr. Troska, at
Egg Harbor City, N. J., were burned to the ground
on Tuesday afternoon, and a boy 14 yoar? old, whom
Mr. Troska had permitted to go into the bam to
sleep, W&a burned to death. It ia supposed he had
careless ly set fire to the bam with a cigar. He was a
Btranger inj tbe place, and his naioe is not known.
by an old Turkish fort. Tbe houses, as in near-
ly all Oriental t^wns, are surrounded by par-
<lens and fruit tiiees, a score of minarets glitter
in the .'^unlight.j&mLtbe environs in the rear,
as far as the ey<|f can reach, are covered with
rich verdure, ofr:?ring la verj- refre-shing enn-
tnist to the uakicifl plains of the opposite bank
of Little Wallachia. It has a population of
nearly liO.UOO, ami was of considerable im-
portance as a point of communication between
the Danube and theiinterior towns beforo the
war. There are fe[w troops now within its
limits, a immHer . of Ilying columns having
bet-n dispateheti iuivarious directions, but there
are several largclctiriips outside, which strangers
are not allowed pa visit., Tho town itself is
very calm aiid p:^e^iits no signs of having been
taken by as.sauUtk fortnight ago. It is true that
it was very fc»bly defended. All the shops
are open, and tji^fe population move about aud
j attend to their tjrdinary occupations as they did
before the Kus^iin eagle had taken the place of
the crescent. The majority of the Mussuluians
i have remained, Und, of those who retired on
j the first eutrailce of the Muscovite troops,
[ many have iretijmed, upon hearing that
i so far fronii being in danger of
"ill treatment bv the invaders," tho militarv
I [ '
authorities rather affect to show to them greater
favor and indulReuce than to the Christian ele-
ment, which, ti> say the truth, is not sympa-
thetic. All witp whom I have conversed have
expressed their entire satisfaction with thtj
kiiuluess recei\ied,i and whieh they had been
taught not to ejtpect. How far this gratitude —
ahttle too demoistrative to be heartfelt when
one considers tjl e blindness of Turkish fanati-
cism— is real, r<imairis lo bo seen ; the most one
can now say )k that they are thoroughly
"cowed. Storiesj of atrocities still come iu from
the interior. A [Christian who had been flayed
alive and left li<i do by the roadside, with his
hands and feetitied together with strips of his
own skin, was louniby the troops a day or two
ago at Carevitsjt aUd brought before tho Em-
peror, in whoscs jprelsence he died. According
to tho report — j>enerally believed — Col. Welles-
ley, the EngUsh' military attach^, was .sent for-
and requested tn niake a report to hi.s Uovern-
meut of this cpcumstance, of which he had
ocular testimoniy. Let us hope that he did.
! The citizens of Sistova^ Mussulman as well as
ChrLstian, concur in tho belief that tho Turkish
officers are utiaole to keep in baud the wretches
who compose the contingeuts of Tscherkesses
and volunteerii — the new official name for
Ba.shi-Bazouks.1 It is difficult to arrive at a cor-
rect estimate q£ the Russian losses since thp
opening of tiie i campaign. They admit
that betweenj tho 27th of June and
the 4th of Julp ltuero|were 750 killed and
2,100 woundec, this, however. I believe to
be considerably under the mark, and as, since
then, there hasj jeen much although desultory
fighting, double thjose figures will not exceed tho
truth. But hetj, is in everj-thing, the greatest
secrecy is obseived. Still, the very frequent
trains of wound sdtmen arriving at all hours of
the night, wheb indiscreet observers are in their
beds, and the m- l^ss frequent troop trains of
fresh food for powder all day, to the exclusion
of other trafiicj coayinc© one that the gaps are
large, and thatWeify effort is being made to fill
them up as raijidly jaa possible. There are three
army corps already! in Bulgaria — at least so say
the Russians— jwith provisions and ammunition
for a two nionths'icampaign, and two others are
being conceutryte4j Troops are passing through
at the rate of 1)0,000 per diem by rail, in order
to bring up to its fill complement the army of
200,000 whiAh -Ss destined to operate on this
line. Perhaps when they all get over we shall
see something; [worthy 'of the assumed great
strategic taleuit; of, the! Russian Staff Btireau.
As yet nothing ha^beenldone demonstr&tingthe
slightest capamy ^ the selection of Nikopolis as
a point of croat ing was . a military blunder. I
mean to go 3 ppbsite that fortress in a day or
two, and will d rsctibe the position as fully as
possible; and ths only bridge constructed on
scientific prinqipU a frohi Ibraila is practically
useless, becausf it opens upon a morass six miles
ilk extent, thro i at iwhinb tha Ruswiiui enfii&eers
are hard at work in the constmction of a cans&-
way for the passage of their artillery and equi-
page train. AU the successes won, up to date,
have been due to the brilliant dash of tbe Rus-
sian troops and the apathy or want of courage
of the Turkish Generals— for I cannot admit
cowardice on the part of the men. Perhaps
Abdul Kerim has worked out a plan, by some
abstnise mathematical calculation, for this alone
can account for the capture of Timova. which
at last has been occupied by the Russians. It
was garrisoned by a force of 4,000 Turkish
troops of all arms, and is in itself a strong po-
sition, built in an amphitheatre on a spur of the
Balkans, and commanding the main approaches
to the Valley of the Jantra. Yet an advanced
guard, composed principally of cavalry and
horse artillery, at the most 3,000 strong, stif-
ficed to gaiii possession-^some accounts say
after a very stubborn resistance, others without
firing a shot, the Osmanli falling back to Ras-
grad. In itself, Timova has only a secondary
strategical importance, but its occupation will
produce an immense moral effect upon the
populations, as it will be doubtless the adminis-
trative centre of Bulgaria, this ancient capi-
tal of the Bulgarian Czars being better situated
that Kustchti to become the seat of ihe Pro-
vincial Government. I learn that the first plans
of a railway between Sistova and Timova hav-
ing already received the approval of the Em-
peror Alexander, their execution will imme-
diately be taken in hand.
. Biela, too, has fallen ; the Russians were re-
pulsed twice with heavy losses at this little
town, but on their third visit they found that
the enemy had retired. The capital importance
of this position is so evident that the Serker
Edrim's intentions become more and more in-
comprehensible every day. The town com-
mands the roads leading to Tirnova and Plev-
na, and standing, as it does, on the Jantra,
which is here crossed by a stone bridge, de-
fended by a tetedepont on the left, and a series
of earthworks on the right bank, it niisrht have
been a thorn in the side of the Russians for
some time to come under any one but a fool.
The enemy had its first serious repulse here last
week ; according to the Turkish statements they
hadr]2 battalions engaged against 18 ; the Rus-
sian accounts give the numbers respectivelv at
12.000 against 30,000 ; both are probably
grossly exaggerated.
ThoCzarewitch is to have command of the
army which is to attack and capture Rustchuk,
an operation somewhat delicate just now, as
that place completely commands all the left bank,
and. although apparently very much dilapidated
as a town, is still formidable as a fortress, with
l.OOO yards of river in front by way of ditch.
The railway station of the Varna line has been
placed within tho enrieute since the com-
uiencenieiit of the bombardment, so that
until this line be cut by a move-
ment on the Dobrudscha side it will be
iu uninlerrupte<l communication with Varna
find the other positions of the Turkish quadri-
lateral. In addition to the old-fashioned arma-
ment of the citadel. 6r) he,iv5' guns have been
brought up from the capital ; and the most im-
portant work, on the easteru front, the Levant
Tabia. mounts 17 15-inch pieces. The garrison
has been rai.sed from. b.OOO to 14,000, and. as
1 have already \vritten. it is amply provisioned
for a long siege. Its weak points are along the
southern front, and if the works there be taken,
the place must .speedily capitulate, but t<i get at
these the entire Turkish Army must be beaten,
and should Abdul Kerim not (find out by force
of studv some new plan — he has plans on the
brain, like that other idiot. Gen. Tntehu, at
Paris in 1x70— this will cost very dearly. Ac-
cording to present appearances the Russians
are pursuing an entirely different .style of tac-
tics. The Turks concentrate, either with or
without a jmrpose — on this poiut, no htinuin
being, inehuling the Commander-iu-t'hief. can
si)eak ktiowiugly — their enemy splits up his
forces eccentrically. One column ha-s marched
in the direction of Rustchuk by Monastiristi :
the second, already arrived at its tirst halting
place, Tirnova. evidently intends to force the
passage of the Balkans by Kazanlik ; the third.
via Plevna aud Etmpoh p'roliably v,-ili attack thi-
Balkun line toward the left. Certainly the
tirst gr(--at objective point is the fortress
of Kustchuk. and I have pointed out the
difficulties lying in the way of this operati;>n,
which. U> have been certaiuly sucessful, would
have reijuired the presence of iCimmenmtuu's
corps. Hut although its advance was announced
some days ago, we uow learn — not officially, of
course— that it is nut in suflicient force to pass
the railway between Kustentlji ar:d Tcherna-
votla, and that it is needed in the Dobrudscha to
protect the Christians atrainst Turkish repri>als.
It was to have been brou;;ht up tn the strcngtii
of lOO.OOO men. but the beautiful seledion of
a marsh, through wli:<'l: the men wadfd up to
tlieir waists in mud when they carried unde-
fended ilatchin. as the terminus uf their bridge,
and the consequent necessity of a causeway.
has delayed the arrival of rvinforo*-uu*nts.
I'rom conversations with a Turkish stall oHi-.-er.
who is now on parole in Koumaijia, 1 am led to
believe that his people are perfectly well posted
as to tbe movements i>n the other side. Ac-
conliua: to his statement* tlu-re was never any
intention of defending the line of the Danube,
except so far as was necessary to get a tliorough
knowledge of the enemy's strategic intf-ntions,
and all the f>eliy en:nigements fought have
>M.-en with a view to obiiirt- him to develop his
forces. Even the battle within the quadri-
lateral will be merely a secondar>- op-
eratiim. for a Russian ^•icto^y must be
dearly bought, aud will necessitate great
delay, wllile it cannot be deciMve. as
the Turkish line of retreat will reniaio uninter-
rupted. Mv informant avers that there an?, or
will be. 300,000 men along the Balkans. These
tiicures are certainly exagtrerated : but if there
arn only half that number thL*ro. and the push-
in;; forward of the troops about Sophia and even
of thf roq>s which have been fighting in 3Ion-
t'_'iu^gro warrants the supi>osition. the forcing of
this line of defense will be very dillicult. as
there canntjt l)e now west of Rustchuk over
ir>0,000 Russian troops of all arms. It is true
that tho re.serves are pouring in, and trains
leave Bucharest every hour, but the policy of
divergent columns is a dangerous one against
an ei\emy who always fights in masses, like the
Tr.rks. The Russian officers and men are en-
thusiastic of success. They are infinitely less
well-informed of the situation than the readers
of the daily papers in London or Paris. But the
Emperor is. I ant assured, m)t nearly so san
guiue. Always extremely nervo^is. his escita
bility at present is at its climax; he cannot
sleep, can scarcely tiike his meals without start-
ing uu from table to consult a map or tp hurry off I
an aide-de-camp to some column in whose move-
ment he fancies there has been an unwarrant-
able dehiy. and. in short, by his irritability, has
succeeded in rendering the lives of his staff
officers a burden to them. Nothing goes on as
it should do. ho says, and all, that I have seen
and heard confirms me iu the opinion that he is
not far wrong.
P. S. — The obstacles placed in the way of cor-
respondents increase every day ; there is no
field telegraph at their di.sposai. Everything
must be forwarded by special mes.sengtT to
Bucharest — even letters are not sure of arriving
at their destitution if put in the general letter-
bag, supposing such an institution to exist.
wiiich it does not any nearer the theatre of war
than Zinnicea — and. when there, are suppressed
if unfavorably critical or supposedly indiscreet.
The coiTespondeut of one of the most important
London dailies has not got off a dispatch for 10
days, although messages of similar teiu>r have
l>een accepted for tho Times, and a sub-special
of another, whosespi.pathiesare avoweiUv ultra-
Slavonic, was stopped and relieved of Kis dis-
patches by the authorities on tbe railway be-
tween Ploiosti and Cronstjult, because the wiring
of intelligence from over the Austrian frontier
was interpreted as prima facie evidence of ho.s-
tility to somebody. Under the most favorable
auspices of a brassard, and a general authority
to circulate, no correspondent, although treated
with the utmost courtesy, can go to auy partic-

THE ELLIS IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.
CONTINUATION OP THE TESTIMONY OF MB.
REID, BANK EXAMINEE— THE ABINGDON-
EQUAKE SAVINGS BANK CASE CLOSED —
MR. CISCO AND THE THIRD-AVENUE SAV-
INGS BANK — OTHER WITNESSES ALSO EX-
AMINED BT THE SENATE.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 1.— In the Ellis
trial, at the opening of the Senate to-day, Mr.
R«id, Bank Examiner/ continued His evidence
regarding the Abingdon-Sqtiare Savings Bank :
I never allowed second mortgages as assets, but
noted them when held as securities. On cross-
examination, Mr. Reid said: I did not inquire
as to their character; the lawyer in making
certificate of title to property was critical in
examining new banks, but afterward not so
particular ; talked with the officers several
times in July. 1876, trying to get them to put
the bank on a safe footing, and only wrote the
department the letters read yesterday after see-
ing that they were not acting as I deemed ne-
cessary for saving the bank.
In reply to a Senator, 3Ir. Reid said that he
discovered the bogus check by looking over the
bank book^ ; that a large deposit of the last of
June was drawn out soon after, and that July
1 ho inquired and discovered the check for
$10,000.
John J. Cisco sworn, and testified regarding
the Third-Avenue Bank — Was called on by Mr.
Ellis after the failure of Duncan & Sherman, in
July, 1875, who said the. Third-Avenue Savings
Bank was in trouble, and asked ad\nce ; did nor
say the extent or nature of the trouble ; witness
advised proceeding cautiously, or it might pro-
duce a run on other banks*: Mr. Ellis said he
had talked with other Wall-street men. Mr.
Ci.sco was asked what he would have done re-
garding the bank in Mr. Elli.s' place, when Sen-
ator Gerard objected, as interf'eriuir with the
prerogative of the Senate to judge of the pro-
priety of Mr. Ellis' acts.
Frank .Thompson. Receiver of the Abingdon-
Square Bank, testified to the condition in which
he found the bank when he took possession of
it in August, lS7t*. He said he found second
mortgages from the President, one of $13,000
and another of .$11,000, given in' lJ>7.5 : he
found the general condition of the bank the
first three weeks after taking posses»^ion, but
not all the details : it is the custothin Xew-Vork
for the abstracts of title and tbe searcher to go
to the bank taking mortgages : im abstracts
were found in this bank regarding the mort-
gages held by it.
Tills closed the case of the Abingdon-Squap>e
Hank for the pro.sef^ution.
The raortjrages given by the President of the
Trades .Savings Bank aud transferred to the
bank, heretofore called for, were produced and
identified.
H. L. Lamb was called on to produce the
papers relarint; to the German Savincs Bank.
Morrij^inia, He said he had not had time since
subiMx-uaed to prodtice them. ■
The afternoon session was opened by taking
the case of the failure of tho Loaners' Bank.
L. Lamb, Deputy Sui>erintendent, read
several letters regarding the condition of the
bank. The bank refused to allow Reid to ex-
amine its affairs; Ellis said he would ga and
look into the matter him.self ; a letter was sent
tt) the Attorney-General April 4, 1^7G, a.sking
if the bank could be compelled to report :
the Attorney-General said it could. In reply
to a qtiestion by Mr. McGuire, for Ellis.
Mr. Lamb said the Stiperinteudent had no pow-
er to enforce tho law on the refusal to repoi^ or
be examined ; a letter of William Tracy, attor-
ney for the bank, is tiled in tlie department
airuinst the power to examine : the bank faiietl
shortly afterward ; a Receiver was aj^yointed in
May, 1n70, and was relieved in Xovember.
Jeremiah Wintrimrham, Kceiver of the Loan-
ers" Hank, testified as follows : The assets
of the bank were :?14.0()0 : jewels pledged
to the bank had been pawned again :
the Loaners' Bank had dealings with the
Abingd<m->'quare Saviiitrs Bank ; the assets
were a miscellaneotLs collection of life insur-
ance i)olicies. jewelry, stocks. i>lated ware, and
real estate in Indiana. Xew-Jersey, and Mis-
souri : transferred insuriince policies to compa-
nies for le.^ithan the loans <m them, and also
epted less than the .-iums advanced on jew-
■Irv.

BURGOrXES SCRREXDER.
Saratoga, X. Y., Aug. 1.— The Saratoga
Monument Association met here to-day. with
iJuv. Seymour in the chair. Arrangements
were made for carrying through a celebration of

vised the holding of preliminary meetings two
or three days before, and also that efl'orts be
made to briiig in people from the L'pper Hudson
to celebrate the ev^nt. He subscribed ^100 for
the expanses, and D. A. Bullard. of Schuyler-

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

ket, after ilnetuatiug fre(iuently betweeiTflrm-
ness and depression, dooUy iJosed weak it a de-
cline of Hj to 1 l-j P cent, from the ttighest
(luotatioua uf the day. Prominent among the
influences affecting prices were heavy sales- of
long stock, the passing of the dividend by the
PenssylvaBia Riulroad Company, and the riot at
Scraiitou. Western Union was again prominent
in the dealings, aud, after some very erratic
tluctiiationi), closed at neitrly the lowest point of

several reports, among which was one to the
effect that the parties to the boll pool were at
variance, and it was freely stated that they were
acciasiiii; each other of bad faith. The. impres-
sion grows that one of the leading operators in
th^late upward torn was not &t heart a bull,
but only joined the mavemenl'for the purpose
tt (oeatisg a market to uU on. If tiuift ba any

A PHASE OF rHK FEURY DISPUTE.
^ ^VKIT OP MAND.VMCS TO COMPEL THE PILOT
COMJtisSION'ERS TO PULL DOWN" THE PIER
AKD CLUB-HOVSK \ AT STAPLETON AP^
PLIED FOR.
The contest concerning the dock of the Stateii
Isljimi, Ferry C'lmpany, at .Staplet^n, and the club -
h'^uso of ihe Kew-Vork I'Acht Club. boUtthereoD,
ii^sumeil a new phase yesterday. Briefly told, thtj
liUtnrr of ihe contest Ls as follows: Early in 1S75
th'* Slaien Island Ferry Conipany waa organized to
run l»oats in nppositioii to th«.eG.of the Staten Island
Railway Company. The new corporation purchased
j.vi.perty having a water front, adjoLnine that of tht»
• lid company. A pier was bnilt in such a manner
that tb>? b^t.its of the old corporation had to mate n
]( 'lis; dvt our before they could enter their slip. Sub-
sfuiiently .in island of cribwork was made furthe r
riiii, and on it was built the vacht club-house. Thi i
tslunU increased the difliealties of making the landin;;
l.y the railway company's ferry-boats. After
ii' time it was discovered that the pier
;md island were h">th constmcted illegally.
The islantJ. it was learned. was on ^tate propfrty. ami
111-' pier. althMutrh constmcted on ^ound owned _b^
the ferrj- company, wan in %iolation of a law of 185 /.
which declares that no pier shall be built within 100
f. f.T of another. Triese facts were ' communicated to
tin- Attorii'-y-tTeneral nf the St.itf, and he authorizied
the cninseruf tiie Staten Hland Ferry Company to
liring suit in the name- of the people for the reinov.il
nt' the pier and islamt and coiiseqaently or" tha
»lub-hou«e. In the ii^upreme Court Judge Wt-s;---
■irffok decided that the titmctures existed in
-iolatlonof law. and ordered their removal. Tiio-
^apretue Conrt. ' Jeneral Term affirmed his df -
-i.*!ion. and subsequently the Court of Appeals diil
the tRine.
In the Tne.intime the Pilot Commissioners, who arti
ftlso the Harbor Commi.ssi'mers, took the matter in.
:iand. After Judt;e \Vestbn>ok"s decision they not i-
li.'d tho ferry company to take away the pier and
.-iland. The'rorjioration failed to do. this, so tho '
!'ommis?i<»ner9 decided to do it themselves. A con-
lr.-u I for the work wa-s dven out. and the contractor
undertook to tear down the crih- work and the club-
houj»e. This action starter! the 'ferry war."" whicli
has broken out at intervals ever since. The wnrk-
nii'u were hombiirded with stones by rioters and were-
ielnge*! with hot water from the pii>e.s of the ferrj--
nout JJ. R. Martin. Tlio IHlot Commissioners then,
stopped the w«>rk and have not liad it resumed.
N-veral attempt-s to butt down the structures, made-
by the bt>ats of the railway company, have since ex-
cited t);e people of Stapleton. and have given rise to
leiral complications of a minor character. A short
riiiieaijo the ferrj' company i?ive notice that the case
had been carried to the Supreme Court of
th" United States on a writ of error. The ^ound of
this action was that the (aw of 18.^7, tiling the
distance that piers must be built apart, was uncon-
stitutional. The counsel for the ferry companny say
- that this is a mere quibble, adopted for the sake of
the delay it will afford, as the case cannot be reached
in the L nited States Supreme Court within several
years. Tliey add also that while that court
can review the decisions of the State courts
so far a-i the law of 1«57 is con-
citTied. it cannot act with reference to the artifi-
cial island and the club-house, as those structures are
uuqutfttionahly on the property of the people of this
State, and their owners are merely intruders.
As the Pilot Commissioners have failed to pull^
■ those structures down, stating that they have no
money to pay for the work, ifr. McNamee, of coun-
sel U>r the railway company, yesterday applied to
.Indue Westbrook for a mandamus to compel the
i v.nimlssi oners tq take away the buildings.*' Connsol
for the ferry company applied to be heard in oppo-
sition t«) th« issuiMice'of the writ. Tho Judge said
I lie t'erry company had no right in the matter, but
wotild be tmmted a hearing. He then adjourned tho
r»se until ^Vednesday. Aug. 15, when itiwill come up
i.efore Judge Van Bnmt.
TBE CHARGES A GAIXST JUSTICE EVifOXDS.
The investigation into the ca.se of Justice
Kohert Vt". Edmonds, of Mount Vernon, "Westchester
County, who is charged with having attempted to
e.x.tort exorbitant fees for his services, and with being
on several occasions intoxicated while discharging
his judicial duties, was continued yesterday before
the Referee. County Judge Gifford. The examina-
tion of witnesses for the defense was resumed. J.
Sy. O'Connor, one of the Town Auditors, testified
tliut when, in 1875, Ju^ce Edmonds presented his
hill be was requested bytUe Board of Town Auditors to
furnish them with his accounts, which he did ; one of
the bills was sent back to him as incorrect, and he
WHS requested to correct the error ; before the Jus-
tice had sufficient time to do so, however, the board
adjourned. The object of this testimony was to
pliow t hat Justice Edmonds had not willfully attempted
Ir. defraud tho town. Charles Crary. a lawyer,
residing in this City, testilied that on several occa-
sions he had legal transactions with Justice Ed-
monds, and the results had always been satisfactory ;
he had never seen the Justice intoxicated ; Joseph
Bellesheira, Justice of the Peace at Motmt Vernon,
testified that he did business in New-York, and
sent most of his cases before Justice Edmonds.
Samuel Fee, Justice of the Peace, said that in 1S75
lie was almost entirely engaged in business in New-
York, and sent all of his cases during that time be-
fore ilr. Edmonds. The object of the testimony of
the last two witnesses ' was to prove that Edmonds
had not charged exorbitant bills to the town, Inas-
much as ho was about the onlj Justice who had done
our business there during IS/ 5, and had only.asked
for the legal compensation for his services. The in-
quiry was here aajoumed.

rUArV IX THE IMPOKTATZOy OF SWOARS.
Special Agent Tingle, of the Treasury Depart-
ment, is in this City for the purpose of. examining the
long-standing charges ag^nst certain firms of fraud
in the imporUtio'n of sugars. The subject has already
been investigated several times, and so far nothing
>ew has fceen developed. The process by which tha
Government is alleged to have been defrauded con-
jijsts in ftddirg a sufi^eut anantitar of colorine matter
tothe lifter grades of sugar to give them the dark
brown hue of the cheaper varieties. In this condition
tiiey pass the Custom-house at low valuations, the
colored matter being atterwaid removed, and the
sugar restored to its original standard, by refining.
As the color of the stigar is the only criterion recog-
nized by the present law, it is thought that there will
be some difficulty in securing convictions ui£der it.
KELSEY nr THE LAND OF THE LIVING
A DETECTIVE TELLS A STEANQE STOEY— HE
SAYS KELSEY "WAS NOT MURDERED, AND
HE HOPES TO PRODUCE HIM ALIVE.
Yesterday a member of the National! Detec-
tive Agency visited the Brooklyn head-quarters of
the institution and formally gave notice of the Gen-
eral Manager's intention of at once rettiming to
work on the great Huntington tar and feathers case.
In conversation with a reporter the detective told an
extraordinary story in reference to the Kelsey case,
which is here given for ^rhat it is worth :
" Kelsey," said the detective, "is not dead." This
he intended to prove by the production of the man
himself, whom, he assured the writer, they (the
agency] had located, and concerning whose wander-
ings they had a full and complete history since the
eveiitful night when he left Htrntington., While con-
versing with the reporter the detective, who has been
"watching the case "all along, said : "I could ex-
hibit to you such proofs of what I've said that you
would as soon doubt your own existence asjthat of
Kelsey". The report, which some years ago
created no little excitement, of the fanner who
said he saw Kelsey in Chambers-street, in
this City, and who chased him into a
building, Kelsey recognizing and fleeing from him.
the detective said was correct. It was wliat that man
saw which placed the detectives on the riglft track,
and on one, too, from wliich detennmed etforts have
been made to throw them.
.lifter exhibitinE; a number of letters and "small
poems " which Kelsey had written, tho context of
which show his character and thoocchts better than
any of" his loutter epistles which have been published,
a number of photographs of the man were: shown.
According to this officer's statements, the letters
front "Washington Territorj'. reported to have been
written by Kelsey's brother, were written by KeLsey
himself. '■\S'hy, Sir," the officer continued, "when
I think of this affair, and review in my mind all the
facts connected with it. it almost sets mo beside my-
self to think that that fellow is allowedtorunsolong.
He has had his revenge and it has been a terrible one.
Up there in Yates-a venue, near, Broadway, Royal
Sammis and his wife Julia live in a tenement,
broken down in body and mind." "Howido you
account for the finding of the limb in the waters of
tho bay (" asked the reporter. "A physician died
rather suddenlv here a few weeks ago." replied the
detective. "W'hen I explain and show, as soon
I will, how that limb cnm" in the| water,
it will in some measure account for that gen-
tleman's death. That limb was exhumed from its
grave and planted. That limb was not the limb
of a man, but of a woman Who died a terri-
ble death. Why. Sir. the full story iof this
Kelsey business, when it is made known, will horrify
the countrj-. In a few days I leave here. 1 am now
awaiting the rerum of two of ouh men, and when
I return Royal Sammhs and the other people who
have suffered will have the cloud which rests over i
them removed. "
THE BROOKLYN ALDERl^tE^\ '
MAYOR SCHRpEDER'S NOMINATIONsi LAID
UPON THE TABLE — THE ilUTCTAL GAS-
LIGHT COMPANY. I
The Brooklyn Aldermen met yesterday] Alder-
man Ray in the chair. Mayor Schroeder Ke|nt in a
communication withdrawing the name of George C.
Bennett for Commissioner of City Works and sub-
stituting instead the name of ex-Alderman A. S.
Rowley, "W. il. Little' was also uoimnated for
Register of Arrears in place of Mr. AVTiilney, the
present incumbent, and James Ryan for Fire Com-
missioner in place of Hugh McLaughlin. The nomi-
nations were laid on the table by a vote of l!2 to 11,
Alderman Eastman, lieznocrat' being absent, and
Alderman Burnett, Rjepubiican, -with wtiom he
paired, not voting on i political qnestinns. Eleven
nominations for the B^rd of Education sent in by
the Mavor were tabled by the same vote.
The Law Committee reported that the bond of the
Mutual Gas-light Company was worthless. , on the
ground that it was insufficient to afford thie city a
cheai>er cas or to protect the streers. The report
also set forth that two of the sureties were non resi-
dents, and that the terms of the company !s bon«ls
obliged them to spend only $401>,0(X> in 1- J^ears, as
aga:n>t $y.<K)0.(XK> capital invested by gas com-
panies already in existence. It was also ctijarged in
the report that the policy t>f the newconijianj' was to
supply compact portions of the city with gn-sj lea%-ing
outlying portions uusui-plied. The report iwai or-
dered to- be printed on the minutes. AJdennan
Fisher jLAve notice that at the next meetlnt;. which
will take place in Sei»teraber, he would bring in a
minority report.
A DRUXKEX MOTITEK AXI* HER CITILDREX
Johanna Healy. of No. G-i Oliver-street, was
arraigned at the Tombs yesterday on a charge pre-
ferred by Mrs. Ferris, a neichbor of the prisoner, of
larceny from the person. 3Irs. Healy had invited her
neichbor to spend Ihe evening with her.iand, as the
complainant alleges, adminUtered to her a : dose of
drugged liquor, which produced insensibility! "While
unconscious the prisoner abstracted her i guest's
pocket-book, containing $'J1 and some pawn tickets.
She was committed for trial. The prisoner ts con-
sidered "a very hard case,"' and has repeatedly been
arrested on charges of theft and ilrunkeun<>sH, I)ur-
ing her fits nf iutoxieation she has been in the habit

they pre.sebte^l a most woeful appearance, the girl
being cladin unclean clothing, her eyes were disfjisn!.
and ■ her ifeatures b*>re the marks of extreme i)ri-
vation. TJhe boy showed like evidence of; neglect
and want.[ His hair was unkempt, his face unclean,
and his clothing was not only tilthy, but hung In rags
about his etnaciated figure. The girl whji committed

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

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

HjlNDICAP.
Saratoga, N. T., Aug, 1.— "Bramble" Is
now the popular word in Saratoga, and it seems as
if the Tery wind wafts the ma^e word through the
expansive corridors of the hotels. Wherever you
see a eronp of men in earnest conversation, "Bram-
ble " and the Saratoga Stakes is the subject. The
rank ojutsider who had no business in the race
persdsted tn coming to the firont, and the outsiders
are I in I high glee. Several ladies had tickets on
the colt^ in the mutual pools, which paid $112 each.
Napier | Lothian, the conductor of the Grand "Union
Orchestra, was one of the lucky ones who bought
auction pools, and won nearly $400 with a very
small investment, which so elated his mtisicians that
he was obliged to open two kegs of lager in order to
bring them in proper form for the reg-
ular evening concert, which was noted as
being particularly excellent. No race of re-
ceut years has caused the same excite-
ment after it had been run as this one, as the public
was tho winner on the occasion, and the "knowing
ones "were the sufferers, and only won sympathy
from their own circle. It is generally conceded that
the race was a "scratch." b{it it was one that will
remainindelibly impressed on the. minds of the vic-
tims. Bramblo got the prize by the Ktart he re-
ceived, but still he must not be uudetrated on that
account, for that he is a really good one there can
be ' no doubt. The same colts meet again
in the Kentucky Stakes, on Aug. 11, the first day of
the second meeting. The race will be over the same
distance, with the same number of entries, and it is a
strange coincidence that Bramble is tho last nomina-
tion; No. 49, in the Kentucky as he was in the Sara-
toga Stakes. The coming race will test, and proba-
bly decide, the qualities of Bramble.
There is another interesting programme- for to-
morrow, and the four races will afford the spectators
ample scope to ply their vocation of "working the
pool-bos." The first affair is a free handicap sweep-
stakjes of $20, with $400 added, one mile and an
eighth, which presents a field, of eight — J. T. Wil-
liams' Whisper. 118 pounds, and Vera Cruz, 97

AN ELECTRIC LIGHT SIGNAL.
EXPERn^EKTS, ' "WI-pH A MAG^^:TO-ELECTRIC
MAcklNE AND AUTOMATIC LAMP FOB USE
IN SIGNAtliNG kr NIGHT.
Capt. S. B. Ilmce,! United States Navy, com-
manding tbel flagship Hartford, has. been conducting
a series of exjierimeiits with a patent magneto-elec-
tric machine and automatic lamp, which it "was oro-
posed to intrpdi;ce in the Navy for distant signaling
at night, for detecting the approach of boats, and
signaling in a fog. The machine used consists of fo^r
permanent magnets coiled with large Insulated copper
wire. The amiittiTe is composed of ca.st-iron, ha\'ing
50 small majgnets — 2^ on each side. These are coiled
with fine insulated copjwr wire ; each small magnet

spindle passing [between tiite two pairs of magnets."
The armature moves in a vertical plane. The spindle
at each end! ha? a band pulley by which motion or'

commutators are peouhar, consisting of a skeleton
brass frame /arbund a portion of tho spindle. This

The lanip used differed little from the ones in or-
dinary use, the distance of the i-arliou ppiiits being
regulated hy foi^oe of gravity and small electro mag-

The driving engine was a Sewell's Pump, connected
with tlie auxiliajry boiler. A steady li?ht was pro-
duced without inlenjuption for three and a half
hours, when it was nec(?ssary to stop and replace tho
carbon jwints. As tlie steadiness of the light de-
pends upon the regularity \nih which the engine
runs, it IS pMposed to provide the engine with a
governor.; The p6sts| of the machine showed but
little wear uind r*ar atj the end of the trial. Signals
liy means of flashes, usin^ a reflector having a
screen over its Dice, with a sliding hood covering an
aperture twj>: inches in diameter through which tho
flashes wore: raafie, were read at a distance of eight
miles on a brisht moonlicht night, and could have
been seen, at twice that distnnce. Other experiments
l^made withoiit airetloctor, usinc a circular screen to
^interrupt ^he llsfht, were equally successful. There
was no opportunity for trial on a stormy night, or in
foKffj' weather.
In A trial with the Coston signal, the electric light
was readily discerned at a distance of 13 miles,
while the signalfi by the Co ton"s lights could not be
distintruishf d. only an occasional color being seen. At
greater djstiancts than 13 miles the electric licht
liecomes lesk diiitinct : iand at 1 ."> miles it was dropped,
beins; picked up' again at I'i^a miles. Kivo rockets
were used all these distances, only one of them beiuK
seen. It ivais fajund that although the machine v-na
Well adapted y produce a cJear, steady licht. when
geared to ji ^^d engine, and was valuable for di:
tant sign.uJiiig. -yet on account of its esjMiiise and
limited sphere, i of use in the >'av->- in time of

a fan-lifiht; so that while the door itself was securely

foi-cing a wiy throuch tho aperture above and getti:ig
off with th6i^ ;plundci'. The facts in the c-aso havo
been kept a profound secret by the Police in hope of
discovering Itbeithieves. but so far without success.
Yesterday workmen were engaged in " bricking up"
the doorway already mentioned, so that future dep-
redators wilil have to find some other mode of en-
trance, Te i( cases of spool cotton were stolen from
this same walrehouse several years ago, and there are

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

SHORi^ OF FTTXDS IX JERSEY CITY.
At a meetiilig of the Jersey City Police Board
held last evening. Commissioner Fowler offered a
resolution directing that the City Hospital be closed
and all the | employes dismissed at once. Commis-
sioner Bird xiesisted the adoption of the resolution,
hut every n^ember save himself voted for it. The
closing of tkp hospital was necessitated by the ex-
haustion of [tihe* moneys appropriated to sustain it,
and it is anpther of the restuts of the parsimony of
the Board otfl Finance. Some of the Commissioners
said that thjej appropriations for the maintenance of
tlie Police force are almost exhatisted, and it may be
necessary btelfore the close of the fiscil year to dis-
band the forte for want of money to pay the salaries
of the Poliw
2mW-Y0RE.
Two cases of brandy were seized on the steam-
ship Utopia, from, Gla^ow, yesterday, for non-pay-
ment of duties.

ent.
The Fire Commissioners, at their meeting
yesterday, promoted William H. Fleming, a fireman

dinates.
Sun-eyor Sharpe was at the Custom-house
yesterday, but the list of inspectors and watchmen
to be discharged from his, department ha.i not. yet

not now be made before th&. middle of the .month,
thus securing to the doomed individuals two weeks'
additional pay.

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

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

INTERESTS OF XEUTRAL POTTERS.
THE PRESSURE ON AUSTRIA FROM HUNGARY
TO INTERPEEE— THE SERVIAN POLICY
ANT> ITS EFFECT — ITALY TO FOLLOW
GERMA>-Y — GREECE:
Pesth, Aug. 2.— A deputation from the
recent aati-Rossian popular meetiu^ to-day had
an interview with Sliuister Tisza, and read
resolutions condemning -the alleged Russian
atrocities- Minister Tisza replied that it was
impossible to find a lasting remedy for the
atrocities until peace was restored. The un-
called for intervention of a single power might
extend the war, but he hoped the
time was not distant when I Europe
might have an opportunity to put a lasting stop
to the atrocities during the war. The Govern-
ment, while mindful of its duty to ertiard
Austro-Hungarian interests, felt it incumbent
to spare the property and blood of the| nation aa
much as possible. They would not be slow to
take fitting mea.sures at the nroper I time, but
would carefully avoid precipitation,
Loxr>ON, Aug. 2.— A \'ienna dispatch to the
Times says: ** In one of the late sittings of the
Skuptschina private loans were voted to the
Servian GovernmBnt really, though not ostensi-
bly, for military measures."
Prime Minis'ter Ristics does not attempt
to conceal a desire for the annexation
of old Servia and Bosnia. He says
he is in perfect accord with i the
Prince on this head. An -attempt of
Ser\na and Montenegro to participate in the
spoils would be one of contingencies, in the face
of which the power intrusted to Count An-
drassy would be put into execution.
The Timt^s" Rome dispatch has the foUowing;
*' In regard to the foreign policy of Italy,
about which so many contradictory reports
have recently appeared, it must be remem-
bered that Italy is more directly con-
cerned in what is going on in Western
Europe than in the Eastern difficulty.
She lias a joint interest with Germariy
in the result of the approaching i French
elections, and though I cannot un-
dertake to say a direct alliance has been con-
cluded. .%n understanding has been anivotl at
by which Italy will follow Germany in the East-
em question.''
Athens. Aug. 2.— King George has presented
a memorandum on the military position ojf the
country to the Ministiy of \Var. The King is of
opinion that both the land and sea forces
shotild be placed in a state of readine.ss and
mea.sures taken to defend the frontier of Epirus
and Thessaly, those provipees being infested
by brigands. News is published here of an in-
surrectionary movement against the Turks at
Grevena in Albarda.
LoN-Dox, Aug. ;^.— The TitttfiA' Belgrade cor-
respondent says that there are strong signs of
the approaching mobilization of the Servian
Army.

PROTEST OF THE NATIONAL RIFLE CLTJB OF
SC0TLAN"I> AGAINST ALLOWING THE BRIT-
ISH TEAM TO COMPETE — A^SPERSION OF
THE FAIRNESS OF THE BRITISH TEAM
SHOrU) THEY WIN IT. I
London, Aug. 3.— At a meeting of tho
Council of the National Rrfle Club of Scoijland.
at Gla.sgow. on Wednesday, a letter addressed to
the Secretary- of the National Rifle Association
at New- York, was approved of and ordered
to be dispatched. In the letter the council, as
the body which last year sent the team
for Scotland, enter formal protest, on their
own behalf and on behalf of that team
aaid Its Captain, against any so-called Bntish
team being allowed to compete for] thti
American Centennial troj^ny. Tho council con-
sider that the trophy/ts at present held by thi-
American team .specially
tjh«
List
ye-ir's victoriou:
to carry out tho intention of tli
duuors. namely. t|ifi American people, as
declared in the nile.'xif the match, which havv
alreadv been interfVet^'d. and acted upon.
The trophy being \so held, the council
are confident that \lhe trust will be
faithfully fulfilled : ^ but should the
trophy pass into tht^-^ands of the British
team, it is doubtful, considering the strong an<l
prejudice-1 views expressed by the " pro-
moters of that team. whether the
tnist would be impartially exerciswl, and
whether the ri^ht of .Scotland to enter
a tfam , would not next year be denied.
,\ cooy of this protest was sent to Sir Henry
Halford. and George S. Schermerhom. Jr., the
.'secretary of the National Rifle 'Associati<}>n, at
New-York, was also requested to communicate
it to the Captain of last year's American ieam.

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

tion to be supeririHable within the constitutional
limits by State authority and subordinate to St:ite
legislation in the interest of and for the protection
of the people.
As the perpetuity of free government depends
upon the virtue and intelligence of] the people, w©
pledge ourselves to the maintenance of the Stata

In his speech last night Senator Lamar warm-

affected the South. On the other hand, Mr.
Singleton, member of Congress for the Fourth

of a man who, he said, had gone into ofQce
through fraud.

that the _ trial wtmld be postponed till
the ression-of the court next Ohiober. The
merits of the case, so far as can be learned from
the libel and the answer thereto, are these :
The T-aylors, libellant and libellec, were mar-
ried on Jan. 1, 1S74, and after living some
time at the St. James Hotel, in this city,
moved to Cambridge, where ono child
was born to them on Nov. 7, 1 874.
Mrs. Taylor, iwho is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Dauncy-^Iaskell, the latter a public reader of
some no^e, charges that her husband, at various
times, cruelly and brutally boat and abused her;
that he (Contracted habits of gross into.xicutioiu
and used vile, indecent, and profane languiiire
to and about her. The libel states particularlv
that : I

To ihesft charges Mr. Taylor makes a general
denial, except in sn far as iht.* marriage with
libelant and the birth of their child are con-
cerned. The chief objection he r:»isps to hi.-^
wife is, that she persisted in retaioiinr her con-
nectidn with the theatrical proft-s-ion in viola-
tion of an agreement made at their marriage.

he says he kept there with the knowledKc and

answerinii. tlie respondent says that nt
the time of his marriage with the libelant, she was
an actress, but was desirous, as she professed, to
le.ivi the sta^d altogether, and was married with .the
mutual unflerstandinc that she was not-thereafter to
practice her profession ; that, notwithstandinir, she
h.ts. since the said marnai;e. made and performed

respcudenl ^a\'s that ho has reason to believe that
his wife's ftflections have become, without good
cause, alienated from him : that her said father.
t:iking adv.aiitape of that fact, as well a.s of her

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

ScRANTOif, iPenn., Aug. 2.— The prompt
and effective resistance offered yesterday by 40
men to the miob in this city, undoubtedly saved
Scranton frop a similar scene to that witnessed
in Pittsburg, and so terrified the roughs and the
foolish mem^ho joined them. that thestrike in this
region is almost certain to be settled now,
by means oihei- than that of violence on the
part o5 the strikers. The citizen's guard was a
hastily-formpd company of the responsible men
of this place— merchants, raantifacturers, law-
yers, and other: I. They were on the alert to be
sure, and sone of them were veterans of
the rebelliot , and knew how to use arms. When
suddenly callen upon to as.sist the Mayor, they
supposed thfere was to be a consultation at his

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

When Gent.| Brinton and hig force arrived
here early thi'S nlorning they wore received with
hospitality, b^it they were really superfluous, so
far a.s the n(|ceissity for force in this city was
concerned. TheJy did one good thing in the
evening; yesillwjo good things. They came by
way of the Bloomipburg Division of the Delaware,
Lackawanna a.n<<; Western Road, and thus sud-
denly opencditihetiway for passenger travel, where
it had been suspended fo: a week, and trains
have been riinrijing to-dav on about schedule
time. The sQcoii|d good thing accomplished was
the capture oil the way of a gan^ of nearly 100
dangerous villlaiiiis, who thought it safe to tear
up the tracksjat J^vondalo and so delay the pas-
„.,_ . ._-L — Thehowlingmobsawthe train
and loudly expressed delight,
the Twentieth Regiment, or-
dered out Carit. j^rv with his company, and be-
fore the traclK|-bi|eaker3 had time to nin th^y
had captured j a I large number of
them. Haying shown a fair share of
familiarity i wi :h railroad work, they
were made toieat humble pie by replacing the
rails they had ^oiin up, and this morning they
came into Scrtintion, a whole car load of them,
under close; guaiji, the blinds of the cars hiding
them from the 4yes of the outside multitude.
These men i I wjere confined all day in
an upper flo6r (|f the Second NationarBank
building, and ; to-jiight iwere sent up to Wilkes-
barre to be dealij with according to law. The
Militia who camoj here were the same who were
so inhospitably treated in Pittshur^.
—the EiKnt*?enth Division — and they were
accompanied ! byj 350 regulars. AVhen the
Slilitia left Philadelphia, more than two weeks
ago, they were oflly TOO strong, they now num-
ber about 1,|?00, ana: tho force liere is fully
2,000. The |'j*bpys" are bronzed by exposure,
and somewhat fagged for want of regular sleep,
but they are f till |pf vim, and ready for good ser-
vice. ] il
The streets in ekery direction were filled with
armed men until ^iftemoon, when two regiments
were marched! to jthe suburbs to camp, and the
rest were quartered wherever places could be
found for them iii the city. Major-Gen. Brinton
and Staff ha^eji their; head-quarters at the
Wyoming Hoiiike,!(where there is constant coming
and going of 'pud|s. Sentries are at the doors
and in the haUs ; j colors are displayed from the
balcony, and tiierie are always a score or more
of militiamen |iu fatigue above the porch. Tho
Weccacoe Le|gioii brdught the Gatling gun
which causedj so inuch comment at Pittsburg,
and the car they cande in was inscribed in
chalk, '* Weccacoe liegion— Round-house," in
large letters.
A curious dfcuinstance obserrable to-day on
the almost entire absence
sageofthetropps

Col. Bonafori.of
the streets was
u^MiiNtibftMi^iMifiiiliiMM
from the streets of the miners who had been
so turbulent. There were crowds of shopmen
about, but they generally spoke for law and
order, and the prospect of going to work to-
morrow was referred to by them with
unmistakable satisfaction. The shopmen
of the Delaware, Lackawana and Western
were driven from their work yesterday, and
their tools thrown from the shop windows, and
they are as loud in their denunciation of tho
mob as anybody.; The Lackawanna Coal and
Iron Company will put many of its employes at
work again to-morrow, and it is probable that
the Dickson shops ^'111 also resume busi-
ness. The strike among the miners is
an after thought. When the Pittsburg
strike occurred the feeling of resistance was
aroused here against reduction. The mill men,
in some instances, went out when the Delaware,
Lackawa'nna and We.stem men ' struck. Tho
stoppage of the railroad made it necessary to
stop mining, as there were no cars in which
to load tho coal for transportation.
A good chance occurred for a coal
strike, and it took place, and the constautly
ffTOwing body of strikers used its power of
moral suasion as often and sternly as it could.
I am assured by a man well acqmiinted with tho
mining population here, himself ;t retired
miner, that not one-third of the men are in
favor of a strike, but they are overawed aud
controlled by a small but tjTaTiuous few, who
are principally youne: and unmarried, without
judgment or responsildiity, and too often with
much more than enough of tho spirit of ** Molly
Maguire."
A meeting was held this afternoon, at which
Mr. Georiie Sanderson presided, which fully
indorsed the action of tho Citizens' Guard ye.s-
terday, and pledged the assistjince of prominent
men in all future protective movements. The
guard was incfease<l to 500 men, who are to be
ready for action at a moments notice. The
apologetic tone of the local press in its allusions
to the mob were severely couderaned as having
a mischievous tendency.
Mayor McKune is still suffering from his in-
juries, but is doing well.

that only a great emergency would call the reg-
ulars away at this hour.

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

that he was ready to consider the application of
any man who desired employment under the

them were re-engaged at the old rate of wages,
and all the regular freight and pa.ssenger trains
resumed their trips this morning. Work at

sumption of work : The company in the future
will listen to and adjust if possible all griev-
ances of the employes; while engines
are in the shops for repairs the
men may go to their homes, or if
necessarilj' detained at the shop shall be
paid for their time ; men shall be paid full time
for aU delays over two hours upon side tracks ;
when freight is stolen from cars, the case ^all
be investigated, and the conductor and brake-
men not made to pay therefor unless found
guilty of negligence ; the 10 per cent, cut shall
not be yestored at pre.sent, but wages increased
when business will nermit. This result was ob-
tained by a ballot taken in a large open field,
which resulted 96 for work to 33 against it.
It was received with shouts of joy. The coup-
ling pins were immediately hunted up, and the
general Manager informed that the men were
awaiting his orders. Regular work will be re-
sumed to-morrow.

Baltimore, Md., Aug. 2. — Advices at
Camden Station to-night report that the only
point of dudurbance along the line of the Balti-
more and Ohio Road is at Bellaire, the oa-stern
terminus of the Central Ohio Division. Trains
from Columbus arrived this forenoon under a
guard of soldiers without being interfered with.
After the troops had brougfht the trains in,
t hey started to return to Columbus, and
.soon after they left tho trains were
attacked by a mob, and prevented
-from crossing the Ohio River Bridge
iarthe main stem on this side. No violence was
done, but the trainmen were hindered by threats
from doing their dutj-. The soldiers were re-
called bv telegraph, and were back at Bellaire
this afternoon, and trains will be moved over
tho bridge to-night under their protection.
The trouble at Bellaire was not caused by rail-
road men, but bv a crowd of the rabble
and tramps that had collected from the sur-
rounding country, and which quickly dispersed
on the return of the troops. Tliere was no
more bushwhacking of trains to-day on the
Mountain Division, between Key.ser and Graf-
ton. Detachments of regulars were placed in
the dangerous localities, aud the bushwhackers
appear to have retired to their holes in the hills.
The adjoume<l meeting of the miners was
held at Cumberland to-day to decide the ques-
tion of striking for higher wages. The variou.s
mines were represented by 54 delegates, of
whom 31 voted to demand an increase of pav
to ."1.5 cents per ton, and 2.3 to work for 50
cents, which la the present figure. The
decision of the majority -will be presented
to the coal companies to-morrow as the ulti-
matum of the men. As they first demande<i 05
cents, they are regarded as now endeavoring to
make a compromise with the companies, but un-
less the canal consents to reduce the rates of
c:trriage toshipi>ers, and shippers increase the
l>:iy of boatmen, no concession can be made
to the miners. President Gorman, of the Ches-
ujieake and Ohio Canab says that he cannot
afford to charge the shippers less per boat, and
the shippers say that unless he doe.s they can
offer no more favorable terms than the existing
ones to the miners or the boatmen. The latter
have been on-a strike for two nionths past, and
business in the Cumberland coal region is
nearly at a standstill. There are 6,000 miners,
of whom not .500 are at work, and nearly 600
boats locked up on the canal.
THE BALTIMORE RIOT IXQUEST.
CONCLUSION OP THE TESTIMONY — THE POW-
EB.S OP A coroner's JURY EXPLAINED.
Baltimore, Md., Aug. 2. — The jury in-
quiring into the cause of the riot reassembled
at 10 o'clock this morning, when Mr. Dean.
foreman of the jury, asked for the reading: of
the oath of the jur}*, as he had some doubt
whether they had a right to stop the inquiry
until all the testimony obtainable was exhaust^ii.
He desired the opinion of the State's officers on
Thn subject. He did not feel disposed to take
any responsibility, and would not consent to
stop the testimony while there was testi-
mony which could be had. W. C. H.
( 'arr. Assistant District Attorney, renlied
thai a Coroner's jury was like a court. It fre-
quently occurred that the Judge stopped testi-
mony 'when it was cumulative. If the court
was satisfied that it had heard enough to under-
stand snfiicient facts, it stopped the piling up
of testimony. , If the Coroner's jury was sati.s-
lied that they had heard enough testimony to
Iind a verdict, they could do the same. If any
juror was dissatisfied, be had the right to hear
testimony to satisfy himself. It was not neces-
sary, any more before a Coroner's jury than h*f-
fore a court, to hear any more testimony than
they might detmi necessary. They were re-
iiuested to inquire into the canse of death, and
it was not necessary to find out who diil the
killint;. but that it was done by some person
unknown. If they thought any company was
to blame they could sav so, aud whether it was
liy ofiicuU order or otherwi.se ; or, if an indi-
vidual was determined upon as hn-ing done the
killing, the jury could say whether it was <lone
in sclf-ilefense or otherwise.
'rtie Coroner said that in a c&se of this kind
the jury and notJthe Coroner was the court, and
ujion the jury tho resptmsibility would rest.
He was T^-illing to go on and make the Inquiry
exhaustive. In such a case no juror should
c<msider his own convenience.
Mr. Dean s-iid he would abide the decision of
the JTin,-. but he would place him.self right on
the record.
A motion was then made to reconsider the
resolution of yesterday to suspend the taking of
testimony, which was rejected by a vote of veas
2. nays 10. A communication was received
fnun the phonographer stating that the report
uf the testimonv would make 400 pages of
manuscript, and he would transcribe it as rap-
idly as pos.sible. Mr. Van Verson, one of the
jury, asked that the jury at once make up their
venlict without reference to the report of the
phon< (graph er, which was not seconded.
Adjourned to 10 o'clock to-morrow morning.
XOTES OF THE STRIKE,
MB. JAY GOULD ASSAULTED.
CoLoiBUS, Ohio, Aug. 2.— An attempt
was made to ditch the Pan Handle express train
from tho East, due here at 12:55 this morning,
near Granville, Ohio. Some ties and an
iron rail were fastened to the track,
but the pilot of the engine threw
most of the obstructions to one side. One of
the ties struck a truck and threw it from the
track, but no serious damage resulted. The at-
tempt is believed to have been the work of
tramps bent on plunder. The .soldiers are still
quartered in tho Union Depot here, andt all is
quiet.
St. Lens. Mo.^ Aug. 2.— Judge Cady, in the
Court of Criminal Correction, has decided upon
.*3.000 as a bond necessary to release menibers
of the Working Men's Party against whom war-
rants have been issued. It is not probable that
they can procure so much bail, and they
will thereforo remain in jail. The coal
miners of St. Clair and Madison Coun-
ties, 111., have reconsidered their de-
mand of -i cents per bushel for digging
coal, and have reduced the price to 3 cent-s
with a guarantee from the mine owners that
that rate shall stand one year. The owners ac-
cepted the 3 cents rate, but refused to guaran-
tee, whereupon many of the miners resumed
work at that rate, without guarantee, and it is
believed all of them will return to work in a
day or two.
A RELIC OF THE RE3ELLI0X.
Richmond, Va., Aug. 2 — Judge Hughes,
of the United States Circuit Court, decided, in
effect, to-day that the gold from, the Virginia
Treasury which the State of&clals distributed
among themselves on the eve of the evacuation
of Richmond was the property of the United
States Government, ana that the action brought
against said officials by the U^nited' States Gov-
ernment can be maintained in his court. The
amount involved is about $25,000. The case
will be carried to the Supreme Court.

Jay Gould was assaulted, shortly before noon
yesterday, by Major A A. S^'lover. a well-known
operator on W.-dl-stroct, Tlie affray occurred in Ex-
change-place, just below New-street. The place is
one at which a weak person could with difficulty
escape harm if assailed by one of superior etrenfith-
The roadway is narrow .ind filled with holes, ttio
sidewalks are mere ledces, not more th»n
two feet wide, and steep cellnrs and ar«*as. opening
from the walks, aro mere pitfalls for the dlscomtirura
of the stricken and the advantage of the assailnnt.
One of these areas came ue^r being disastrous to Jiy
Gould yesterday. Th© encounter helwecn the re-
nowned stock operator and Major S**lover hap;M>n»iJ
in this wise, arcordin^ to the acconutJi of Kp«ctator» :
About ll^j."* o'clock Mr. <ioiild turned out <>( Broad-
Street and walked up on the right-hand side of Ex-
change-place. Just before reaching tho comer of
New-street, where a new b:iilding is bein^ erectM, hg
turned to the left and weut into the roadwav,
.In^nding to pa.<« aronnd the base of some scaffold-
ing and several piles of rubbish that encuml>ered the,
the right-hand sidewalk. At the .sjim« time Majot
fcielover was walking down Eschange-place on tl-jo
left-hand wdo. As s<»on as he iwiw Mr. Gould aa
walked over to and stopped him in tho madway. ; A
very few words passed between the two brokjBrs.
Selover said, "I'll teach you what it is to tell .mo
lies." and grasped Gould by the lappcls of his coat
and shook him. To steady himself, (rould t.>ok,hoM
of his assailant's co.it, and a "short struac;!* took
place. Relea-sing his right hand, !<fIover dealc
his little opponent what would have been a
terrible blow but for the fact that (iould turned his
head, and the fist of his assailant clanced along tho
upper part of his left cheek. The Major then pushed
his slight antagoutst out of tlie narrow roa^-ay and.
across tho bit of sidewalk. On the way he striii'K
him several times on the chest. \VhUe l>ac£ing aud
endeavoring to ward off Selover s blows, Gi>iild
stumbled and fell upon the stoop of Ko. 65 £i.
change-place. The Major, it seems, did not atst a^
a gallant gentleman. According lo the statcmejit of
Mr. P. F. ilotlelay. he struck Mr. <xould while
he was do^'u, and with so much vigor
that tho fallen man, In his struggles
to save his face, pat his h»*ad through
a space in the fence that guards the mouth of a deep
area through which a barber sboj* in tho I>asement ot
No. 65 Erchange-place derives li::ht. This aroa is
about eight feel deep, two and a half feet wide, and
30 feet long. That part over which Mr. Gould hung
while the Major beat hkn is inclosed in front by a
railing three feet high. Its upper side is formed by
the stoop leading into the office of Lavaaburgh Sb
Brothers, on which ilr. Gould lay. Its lower side ii
made by a steep flight of steps runnia? down to the
barber-shop of Prod Wagner. How. <;ould got his
head out of the fence, and arose to hiii feet, no on»
seems to know.
WRKSTLING ON THE SIDEWALK-
Tbe next occurrence in the straggle noted by ths
bj-standers was that Selover and (iould were wresi-
Ung on the sidewalk. Gould's efforts were weak,
and his antagonist soon bad him jammM aj^ainst the
front railing, where he shook him roua^ly. After
this the Major bent his diminutive enemy backward
so that his- feet left the ground, and bis head fell
against the f rout uf the house. In this position his
body bridged the chasm, which threatened to hm
bloody. Gould tried hard to get his f^et upon
the ground, but in his coii\idsive strug-
gles made his situation ^ worsw by throwing
one of his l<^s over the railing so that it dangled into
the area .ind beat against the wir>* lattice that pro-
tected one of the windows of tho barber shop. Ijc
the meantime a crowd had gathered around the burly
Selover and his little victun, hut no onw inierfen*d xn
prt'veirt what might have ended ia murder. Seloree
continued to press Gould down, and boon had liii
head against tlie wiudow-lHttice. Then, holdmghia
^'ith *«ie hand, ho used the other to throw tiould'i
second le»g into the ni«<uth of tho area
Gould rhitcbod Selov<?r's right arm with
both hands, and made an effort to secure a £ootholc
upou a cornice that runs along the interitu
of the moutli of the ar»-a. Failing in this
attempt, he hung limply friicu the lefs
hand of Selover, which finiily cra.'^H'd Th«*
collar of his coat. Tlio struggle liad fhuK far ber-n
too intense for either antagonist U> spent loudly.'
When Gould hung helpless. Selover gave vent t.o his
wrath in words- liis first audibk* utteiSji(*e was :,,
" Gould, you are a d— — bar." To this *iould re-
sponded, in a feeble voi'-e : " I am not a liar."
Having said thi-s he found strength to cry
piteoualy, '; Won't somebody take ihtK man away!
lie will murder me I' Mr. 1*. F. Mottelav moved 'in
response to this apx>eal. He to<^k bold of Guuld-'s
arm and tried to-draw him out of the pit. Selover
stopped his efforts by breasting htm roughly to one
side. The, Major now raisei his disengaged h»n<3,
and. saying *• Goultl, you arc n linr." brought il down ■
with force, several times, uwu the head of the man
he was almost strangling. He endeavored to strike
(Jould in the face, but the latter squirmed, and hid "
liis countenance in the folds of his coat which waa
drawn above his head.
HOLDtNO HIS VICTIM OVER TITr. AREA.
The great, big. burly Selover continued to hold his
victim over the area, andshoweredblowsand epithets
ui>on him with impartial hbendity. One blow that ho
delivered knocked Gt'uid against the side of the house
■with so much ft)rce that a b-tttle, rontJiinins brandy,
was tliro^vii from a shelf in the saloon adjoittin^ iho
barber-shop to tho floor and bn-tken. This in-
cident caused tho sjiloon -keeper to cnrtra
both Gould and Selover. ^"hile he held him
up Selover appUed other epithets than '"liar" to
Gould. He spoke iuto the mouth of the area, how-
ever, and only Gould and Fred. \Vagner, the barber,
who wras gazuig upward at him and Lis victim. heaTii
them. Mr. Wagner refused yesterd.'iy afternoon tc
repeat the epithets. He merely implied that thej
were of too profane a character to pass his lips.
This speaks badly for the sanctity of Mojot
Selover, who is said to have been a working Cliris>
ian when he was prosperous on "the street,'' and 7%
fellow-vestryman of Kufus Hatch in Christ Clnir- Ai.
"While the Major aplu'ld Ht. Gould — not a hard 1 Asb
for him, as Gould -mly weiirbs 110 jKjunds. wjhile
Selover turns the si-ales at 230 — u\j one vent ar»>«l
near him. Finally, a colored boy, employi=4 i>y
the barber, ran up from the basemen i and
shouted. The advent of this youth njipareuT iy star-
tled Selovor. for as .*;ooii as the shout was iiI (vred he
let Mr. (jkmld falL The descent was about six feeu
(i^uld struck upon his feet aad then fell from ex-
haostlon. Recovering quickly ho ran t» a win-»
dow which Fred Wagner opened fon him. and
stepped h»to the barber-shop. Ho was i»a!Iid.-
and so weak that he CMuid not talk. Th»l
barber cared f"r him as quickly am
twssible, and he was soon strong enough to walld
easily. The nv'iJdened Major made no attempt loi
follow Gould into the basement. He rcimained for «
few sei'oiids looking into the area into which he had
so ruthlessly dropped his victim, and. then, at tba
solicitation of Bome friends, -who were afmid ha
would be arrested, he walked up to Broadway, whera
lie went into the office of Shirley & l>unham, brrik-
ers, of which firm he is said to w a special partner. '
OOUL.D OS HIS •WAY TO HIS OFFICE.
Mr. Gould remained quietly in the barber-shop for
about five minutes. He then said tremulously. "Is
that man gone i " Upon being assured that Selover
had departed from the eceDo of his victory, he went
op the steps into Exchange-place. He wis imm'-di-
ately surrounded by a mob. At this mo-
ment Mr. George Crouch walked ^through
the crowd and anked him what ^ad hap-
pened-He replied : "Seloverhasassanltedme; but.''
with a sigh of great relief. *' I guess it is all over."
At his request Mr. Crouch walked witli hj^fn to the
office of the Union Pacific Railway Companv. No.
23 Nassau-street. On the way. Gould said that
Selover had approached him in an apparently friend-
ly manner, aftd, ^fter some tuiimportant conversa-
non, had suddenly struck him. There wei« no
marks upon his face, but the top of his bead must
have been liruised by^ the powerful blows which
Selover dealt him. His watch-chain was broken
during the stm^le upon the sidewalk, and soma
small articles of jewelry, a gold pen and
pencil, &C., had faUen' from ^Is pockets.
Parts of the chain and all the other
valuables were found in the street by the bar-
ber's colored apprentice, and were returned to Mr.
Gotdd. After a short stay in the office of the Union
Pacific Eailwav Companv. Mr. Gould went to that of
Mr. W. W. Belden, Xo. 78 Broadway. There ho
made a detailed statement of the affray, after which.
he started for Irvingtou-oa-the-Hudson. He avoided -^
all but his intinuite friends, and c^n.'^equentJy no t^ \
porters had the opportunity to conviirse with him.
GOtTLD'S AOCOITKT OF THE FEaCA*.
A gentleman in the office of Mr. Belden, who. hr
the way, is said to be a partner of. Sir. Gould, told »
reporter of The Tuxs that the following was Mr.
Gould's account of the fracas ami its orietn: "I waa

'Come into the office and have a chat* I replied,
*I can't go to-day; I am moving my fam-
ily np to Irrington on the Hudson, and
most go np soon. 'Well,' said Selover.
• Come in to-morrow and take Innch.' I agreed
to do so, and wna abont to take leave of him, when
he said snddenlv. ' d ycm, I'll brain yon !' I was
BO astonished I did not know what to do. He then
Ktmck me and pushed me over a railinc into an area
in front of a barber shop." The gentleman, in Hr.
Belden's office followed np the above statement,
which had been given him by Mr. Gonld,
with another on his own account. He said :
"TherewaanocauseforSelover'seondact. Mt.Qcnald
has been very kind and generous in his treatment of
him. He has advanced money to help him ont of
difilcnities, and aided him in this manner only a«h6ft
time ngo. At one time Selover went to him with
tears in his eyes and said he was in great trouble
finanrialty. Mx. Gould then assisted hhn. Hr. Bel-
den, I know, also aided Selover. Once he gave him
a.c a lonn $5,00O. and at another time
S2.5no. It is only a abort period since
Selover paid those advances. " When the
reporter questioned his informant upon other
points — as to what were the relations between Gonld,
Jim Keene. and Selover. and mentioned the stories
floating about the street concerning Gonld's alleged
treachery to Keene, Selover's friend, the gentleman
replied. "I have a knowledge of the facta, and I
state iinqnalifiedly that 3Ir. Gonld has acted with the
atmost fairness in all his transactions -with Keene
and Selover." Tlio gentleman declined to spe^ ex-
plicitly as to the nature of the transactions between
iroiild, Keene, and Selover, or as to their results.
WHAT LED TO THE ASSAXTLT,
There appears to bo no doubt that th^ assault upon
irr. Gould was dictated by the sympathy that Major .
Selover has for "Jim" Keene. the (^ilifomia mil-
lionaire, in the quarrel between Keene and Gonld,
which has culminated within a few days. The his-
tory of the intimacy between these two operators
is very much chequered. Althonj^h they havelmown
ene another only five months, they have had several
qnarrols, resulting from one charging the other with
trearhery. Those quarrels finally resultedinaciraiplete
ruptnr<> on Monday last, and the rumor on the street
Tvas that tliey had vowed deadly enmity one toward
the other. By an analysis of the various statements
made by brokers the followlnp is derived, and it is
offered as a history, as nearly correct as can be made
by nn outsider, of the operations of Messrs. Gonld
snd Kccnc to:;ether. or in opposition to one another.
In its course the cans? of Major Selover's enmity
towjird ( Tonld will be readily perceived In
JfjiTch last "Jim'" Koene came to this City from
t<an Franri-sco with a fortune variouslv estimated at
from .?aoOO.(>00-to $8,000,000. which he had made
in Bonanza Ktfu-ks. At that time a combination was
forming against Jav Gould, who was " bearing"
W'pstpm Union stock. Keene readily went into the
'■ ponl." in which his AJiso^'iates wore D. P. Morgan,
P. M. Mills, formerly Gould's broker, Russell Sage,
and spvenl others. Western Union was sent up 10
pfT cent. :n price, from (>0 to 76, and Gould was
t)«'Ily ■• sqni'P7.fd." \^^liI^• this was going on Keene
hwame friendly with >f«jor A. A. Selover, who was
then uloing but Utile, it is said, having
mot witii misfortunes some time before.
K'H^ne n.^etletl a monitor in the New-York
markft. and S'lover was pleased to act in this capaci-
ty fnr him. After a few day^ Selover. so the stories
run. formed th*» idea of bringing Gould and Keene
tri;i»i),fr. l-elii'ving Ihnt wiih their joint capital they
ri.uMfnntml the msrket in every sense.and that
!■• n^i: (jUf ntly he. Selover. would go to the front rank
tif "perutors^nnce more. He introduoetl the two men.
and they made a comhiuation. f^eene sold his
"VV,'stem Union stuck, its price fell, and Gould was
rei'-asfd from a dilemma, wliilo the " bulls." it is
'jiiitU met with lar^o losses. Keene then,
'nf eoursp. became *' bear " of • "Western
rnion with (iould. In this enterfvrise they
were joiiK^l by RursoU Sage and Mr. Garrison. Large
b'.i,-ks of th«' sto"k of the Atlantic and Pacific Tele-
gniph. or. a:s ii is commonly known on "the street,"
Tiie •■ Appl'^ Ti-ee Telegraph. '" were bought by each
r'."mb*T of xhf pool. The purpose of tins was to
k'^'P up the price "f that stork, and depre^'w that of
V.'estpm Union. This pool continued without its
members having trouble with one another in regard
to ijs riffairs until r. f-w days ago. In the meantime
Kp*^ce and Gould had operated together in some other
directions, and. it is reported, the former became
an^envl .*ieveml times by diworering that his partner
was doing the opposite of what he had promised to
do. Still, no ov^rt act displayed the hostility grow-
'log np between them.
lYeviofls t<» the beginning of the railroad strikes
K^^f-n** bought large lots of stock.*; with the purpose of
" hulling " the market on bis indfvidual account.
Wht-a thi* railroad men became demonstrative Keeue

was at the time slmrt of the market, so he agreed to
aid Ket-ne ou condition tluit he should havt;, below
the market rates, tnough stocks to cover his
■•shoitK." This WHS prantod. and in return
he agreed to assist in keeping up the
market, so that Keene might retrieve
hini-ielf. Sevpral days later K^ne discovered that
Goril.h inste;id of keeping; his agr'^ment, had begun
to sel? his s-.orks. and had thus depressed the market.
About the same time i"K>ulil iind Oarrison left the
"Apple Tree' pool, and sold their stock so that it
went into the hands of Keene and Russell [ Sage, and
begfin to bull Western Union. These discoveries
roftddened Keene. He Kent to Gould on Wedaea-
day. and. it is said, threatened him with bodily vio-
lence. In corroboriition of the report of Goulii's ac-
tion -wiih r^Kper-t to the Atlantic- and Pa-
cific pool. Mr. RuRfell Sape is reported
to have said yesterday : ■■ Gonld gave us
hi*t contract. That was no pood. He gave tis his
word, and that was no good." Ma.ior Selbver. who
was \Yith him in all his operations, became as much
hicensed at fiould's actions as did Keene. He de-
nounced Ciould on the part of his friend, and on the
part of him-'elf. and the assault he committed yester-
33y was the luaical result of liis previous talk. After
the fraca-s he ki'pt out nf the way of all but his im-
jtedinie friends." and it was reported at Ms ofBce
ih«t he had i^ouf away for the day. Before
PFai-hine bi> ofRr*e after the encounter he was met
by a party of brokers. One of them, a Mr. Timpson,

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

pl&r*f. and wishing, if possible, to avoid humiliating
Dim in puMic. asked hiia to go to my oflBce. He
answfcred insolently that he would ; come to-

you have behaved very Ijadly i" tbis matter, and you
owe me au explfi nation." He still refu-sed to say any-
thinif. and then I slapiwd his face once or twice, and
the row ended in mv liftinj? liim over the railing and
dtoppinir hJm into the cellar. * In replv to a question
to.s to whether he had used more violence than was
iifcessarv, Mr. Selover replied in the negative, and
Raid: "f give you my word of houor I had no inten-
tion of dam:uj;iug the fellow. I merely wished
to disgrarn him publicly, as he deser^-ed." In
au^wer to a <|uestiou as ' to whether he

Mr. J/mes R. Keene positively refused to give any
sf-count of his relations with Jay Gould. WJien
asked whether it was true that he Itad been threaten-
ini: I he lite of tliat individual for several davs past ho
IfiUi^hed, and said, "Of course not ; Gould is nothing
to me, and I don't care wtiat he does or says as far as
I am concerned. The stories in certain papers to the
E-ffect tliat he has loaded mo up >vith stocks which I
am unable to sell except at a sacrifice are to<> pre-
?o<;ter«txij for notice. I can »ay this — that
Imve lost nothing by Mr. Gould's
manoeti%'ring and have no apprehension of doing so."
■V member of the firm of Fitzhogh & Stewart,
srokers, of which Mr. Keene is a speci&I partner, say
ih&i they liave not bten affected by Gould's recent
iction. Their available cash balance at the close of
ousinesa last night footed up over ^GO^OOO.
SotwilhstamUng tlie denials of Mr. Keene aiid his
friends, the opinion is prevalent at Long Branch
that they have suffered la^ly from Gould's
duplicity, althouffh to what amount cannot be
•onjecturcd. Keeuo, however, is reported to
hj>ld a large line of stocks, among others
SO 000 shares of St. Paul, of which Gould
is short, wid he intends making the latter pay heavily
[or his treachery when settling day comes. All the
parties concerned refused last ni^t to ^ve any de-
Udls of the stwk jobbing transactions which preceded
the present difflxrulty. Public opinion at Long
Bntnch is generally diauosed to criticise Solovor'a
conduct in punishimt Gould to the extent allegeo. A
prominent banker expressed the general feeling by
Hiving "if Selover had contented himself with slap-
ping Gould's face, or taking him over his knee and
tpauking him, we would have all applauded"
At the Ocean Hotel there were loud denun-
riatlona of Selover. One tall broker said, "M
the big lummox (meaning Selover,) had taekledamaa
of his size, he would have got a huge thraahici^. If it
bad been me, I would have left marks on him tiiat
wouldn't rub out." The arrival of the New-York

TDENU-MAQrRELLI, I 7
Saturday, July 14. IST^. S
'' Half a "dozen correspondent, 'belonging
to French, ItaJian^ wad Belgiui newspapers —
latfif in the day a colleague of the Tieclhese
press joined their party — came oyer from Sis-
tova this tDDming, on Hieic way home. ^They
complain of 'the countless obstacles which, in
spite of the£r permissions to see and report!, are
placed iJMhfiir path. It is only simple justice
to the Ri^ians to say that all of these gentle-
men either represent journals whose Turkish
sympathies aa?e boldly avowed, or havo them-
selves displaced a hostile appreciation of | Rus-
sian policy,! ^^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^ them, with all his
literary ability^ is capable of giving an intelli-
gent criticism of a military movement. It looks
to me as thou^th the Russian staff authorities
Intended to cleanse what they are pleased to
consider a sort of Augean stable, and that
when those i^ho have rendered themselves ob-
noxious shall hs^e left, the task of the remain-
ing elect will bo more agreeable. Russian of-
ficers, particulariy tbose with whom a corre-
respondent is thrown into contact, are well-bred
men, who, if thoy do look down, in their mili-
tary morgxni, upon the mere quill-^iver, are
genial in their manners and hearing to all
who, by their conduct or social position,
show" themselves, to be of the same caste,
and if they be rough to " cads," it
is the " cads' • fault, and still more
the fault of the newspapers who send out such
representatives. 'Ehere is a prejudice a^inst
Israelites, among both Russians and Rou-
manians— a prejudice which I am. most ready to
admit Is inexcusable and unreasoning, but it
exists — and it seem? to me that it is bad policy to
employ them where their position is rendered
unbearable, and where they are exposed to con-
stant alights and unmerited mortifications.
Something disagreeoiblo has taken place at head -
quarters with refenence to CoL Wellesley, the
British miliiary representative, which, if true,
will] possibly complicate the situation between
England and Russiai. I hare been furnished
with det-allsj but the matter is really too serious
for me to Venture Tzpon their communication
until I have their comflrmation at Bucharest.
All that I can say now is that, even though
exaggerated, the possibility of the existence of
such an imbroglio is a very bad sign.
A serious encounter -with the Turkish troops
took place on Friday evening, at Radanzis, a
little village on the route between Drenova and
Gabrova, when the Ru.sslan column of some
15,000. men moving on Lovxlscha, was met by
the advanceld guard, 6,O00 strong, of tho corps
of 25,000 {o which is Entrusted the dofenne of
the approacjies to Ka.<«inlik.. The fightin g is ac-
knowledged! to have been very severe and ac-
companied jwith heavy loss, but a victory is
claimed by the Ru.'^sians. I can certify to the
truth of at least half of this statement, as there
has been no. cessation in the movement of the
ambulance trains on both sides of the nver.
Xotafewof the wounded had received sabre
cuts — rather an unusual cLrcumstanr-, as tho
Osraanli cavalry, althoaigh handy with its
lances, doe.si not. as a rule, like close quarters
and cold stejel.
The detacjiment and outpost service is begin-
ning to get (into shape, and the Russian light
cavalry is thrown out to v^ry considerable dis-
tances on the front and flanks. As there is a
good deal df dash among the officers, aind no
lack of courage among ,the men, the cnbmy is
ftrlt thorouejlily and his moveraent.s known with
con-sidcrable accuracy. The Cos.sacks naturally
render mos^ important service?* in tMs woiy, and
one or two sotnias accompany every column.
Still, their inerits, are overrated, and, exdept as
/claireHrs, tihey can never have any real vahie.
Men and officers alike ride very badlv. and their
horses are too small to go fa.st or to stand much
work under the heavy loa^ls which they are
obliged to carry. Their 1.3-feet long shad-poles
are too diim-sy to be dangerous to any foot
soltlier who will quietly wait to receive
the charge, and then step on one side
just before rthe shock, which cannot be repeated
before he pan use hU own musket against a
horseman who. perched like a monkey on tho
top of a ridiculously high saddle, cannotl possi-
bly pull up' his animal in the next 20!yards,
with his fedble snaffle bit and raw-hide or rope
bridle Asf each man carries a breech-loading
rifle in ad*Ution to his other weapons, they may
be, as is n^aintained, useful on the sklrmi.'ih
line, particularly if they can employ in the field
the tactics taught them on the drill ground. I
saw one of these exhibitions yesterday, and to
my mind it was more like a circus performance
than a miliiar}'- manoeuvre. Tho word of com-
mand was j!:iven and a sotnia deployed, as if for
a charge a:^ foragers, at a kind of shambling
trot; then |came another signal, aod tho men
dismounted ; at a third, tho horses were lashed
over the knee.s with the short whips, which
hang to ej\-ery man's wrist, and lay down,
their rider^ stretching themselves along the
ground behind them and resting their rifles
on the saddles, thus making a species of breast-
work of their ponies ; then they got up and re-
peated the. operation. I am told that among
the Cossacks of the Guard the animals are so
highly trained that they drop at the word of
command ;[ but I have seen nothing like this
except In one instance-^a trooper at the camp of
Vacaresi, ^hom everybody went out to look at,
and who will, or rather has, become legendary
in the suburbs of Bucharest for his tricks
played on 1 the peasants and coflPee-house keep-
ers. This ;worthy always chose a market day,
when there was a large crowd of the rural popu-
lation presjent ; he would ride in, ask for a drink
of spirits, I and then begin to move away with-
out offering to pay ; then .would come re-
monstrances on the • part of the seller,
excuses ffom the Cossack, and suddenly,
in the niidst of the conversation, the
horse woiild drop down, apparently dead ; his
rider, aftei- a careful inspection, would burst
into tears, tell of his love for his beast, of the
long distance he had come, of his own poverty
and consequent Inability to replace him — the
l^ssack hfjrses belong to the men, who receive
a certain cbmjnutation for their value from the
Government — and then would proceed sadly to
take oif the saddle and bridle; by this time the
good-natured countrymen would have their
feelings sO worked upon that somebody, gen-
erally a comrade of the sufferer, who happened
to be there by accident, would suggest a
small subscription in his favor, and a
liat would bo passed round and a heap
of copjier hanr/i — 2-cent pieces — col-
lected, which were received with many
thanks an^ blessings, and 1^ victim, with his
saddle on his head and the bridle over his arm,
would moye away in much grief. Suddenly a
shrill whistle is heard, the dead horse springs
to his feet, breaks through the astonished crowd,
and rejoins his master, who returns in triumph
to the camip. Now, this is all very amusing in
its way, bat it is not practicable in war, and, if
for no other reason, the slowness of the whole
proceeding; wotild have seriously compromised
the safety of the performers. Still, tihey are
fairly good scouts, and when thej can And ftny
one to uzui«istand them, or whom thscr eaa na-
deastftudf must be able to pick up much valuable
infozihation, although their utter incapacity,
inconidion with other Asi&tics, of estimating
numbers, diminishes somewhat Its accuracy.
The last news is that by a bold flank
march an wmy of 100,000 Turks has moved
from Shumla via Osman-Bazar to the Elasan
Pass, whence it will act in such directions as
may be indicated by the progress of events.
The Russian staff affects to treat this report
with disdain, on the ground that the Osmanli
have neither the means to transport norto feed
so large la force. They argue that no depots
have beeiu established neairer the Balkans than
Shumla knd Rasgrad, and that after the army
shall haVe eaten the eight rations which they
would carry with them they would be obliged
to sei^d there for more — a difficult tmdertaking
for an army unprovided with a* regular Quarter-
ter Department. Perhaps this may be so,
but the prisoners taken in the last affair
at Biela pretend that there is a large and well-
stocked depot at Jamboli, whence to Kasan the
distance i Ls short and the communications ex-
cellent. When I was at "Widdin, more than a
fortnighi ago, I knew of the concentration at
Osman-Bazar, and if the movement to Kasan
has not {been made, it is simply because the
Turks always leave undone wliat they ought to
do and have generally ** no health in them."
Another report signals the presence of a body
of 3,000 Turks near Trajan ; these are the ad-
vanced guards of a division 15,000 strong,
destined to cover tho pass of the Balkans
known as "the Col de Trajan." The cir-
cumspection shown by the Russian Staff in
speaking of this induces the supposition that
a fight was going on somewhere. The only
thing known positively is that the Serdar xd
Ekrem. Abd-nl-Kerim Pasha, was atRa.sgrad on
the 11th of July, and that he left either for
Rustchuk or Osman-Bazar next day. Tho
Russian Army is slowly deploj-ing, and at this
date' occupies the zone comprised between
Ple\'na, | Lovetdj, Gabrowa, Slataritov, Obir-
tcnitos, and Batin. Their line is not parallel
to that supposed to be held by the enemy, but
refuses its right wing and presents its relatively
feeble left to the Turki.sh line passing through
Rusttihuk. Rasgrad, Eski Djuma, and Osman-
Baznif, with Shumla in rear of its centre.
Reinforcements have certainly been sent to
Rustcihuk, supposed to be threatened from the
land .side — whose garrison has been brought up
to I^O^OOO men, chiefly taken from the Kgj'p-
tian contingent. There is no question that a
great^ battle, but by no means a decisive one,
will he fouicht soon.' nnd 1 still think it will be
near Kustchuk. Twelve jniles westward of this
fortress, at Pyrgos. is a Turkish army corps of
40,000 men, which is destined to cover tlie at-
tacks Icrcfssing from Tirnovuaud Slstova, and as
Gniber's columns of 110,000 — on papei- — which
marched] out from Si-'^tova two or three days
ago, iniiist be nearly in sight of the advance
guard of the Turks.'wr shall not have long to
wait ^fore the curtain is drawn up for the sec-
ond act of the comedy.
A very di«;agreeabIedriveoveraTery dusty road,
of fonv hour*;, brought me to Turnu-Magurelii.
the original point of passage of the Russians.
All the wav I met convoys of stores and ammu-
nition an^ detachments of foot and hors«
crawling on to Simnitza— I can use no other
term if or the Russian movements on this side —
and l^dly pitched camps increa.sed in number a.s
I advanced, in most ca.ses seemingly put down
wherever it so pleased the brijriirk* or regimental
eomniauder. and nor often with any rei^ard to
their proximity to those two great necessities to
the si>ldi|er's conifori, wOdd and water. Provi-
.sionsand ammunition are heaped uphy theroad-
Klde, I an!d mien and oflicers loll or .'•traggle
about! in a wrftchedly purpo.seless sort of
way, I ijvhich dues not leave a favor-
able impression on the professional mind.
About ;^0 kiloraftres from Simnitza stHuds
the coifntry seat of Mme. tntargi. which
has been until lately occupied as the Imjierial
IleadKiuarters. It is a nice-lookiug building on
the outside — of course, having been sanctitied
by thepijesence of the j-reat Emperor, its interior
remains la sealed book f or u-s common people^—
but its ^environs arc thu most foul-.-tmeH^ftg
places tliat Ih.ive ever come across in ray wander-
ings. The Rus.sian camp at the village of
Bunia^si; just out of Bucharest, and at tho
temiinu^ of the fashionable promenade of th»*
Chauss^-e. was so horrible that my horse used
to Jholp whenever he apprbarhtd il ;
but jtht effluvium of thi^ spot defies
my ne.*Jcriptive powers, at le:ist without tiio
help of words such as cannot be employed in
polite laugiiage. Hard by the villa is au enor-
mous tumulus called the Voivodn, and a s^rte-i
of .-jimilar mounds runs along the river's course
almost during the whole distance from bim-
nitzal at regular intervals of from IJOO t<> lOO
yards. Archa-ologisls have not yet explorefl
thesel constructions, and tradition j«» .silent as
to their history, but as great quantities ai med-
als and Roraai'i roin.s of the reigns of Septimus
and Alexander Sevmis are continuiillv turned
up by the peasants* plow-*, there w.is prid>-
ably here at some time an imjwrtant imperial
cantonment.
TurnuOIugurelli, the chief town of th^
district of Teleorraan. with a population of
-l.'J.o>*. is even more uniuhubiiablu thun my
last resting plBre. It.-* streets are irregular and
paved, in .spots ; ju-st now they are dust heaps;
m tht Spring and Winter they nuust bo quag-
mires. It takes its imme from the ruins of alower,
or pei-hapsof a city, built by the Ronxans — wliere
the present institution stands — at tho comnujur-e-
ment of the main line connecting the Danu1>o
with Transylvania, through the posses of the
Carpathians'. The facilities it offered for float-
ing down their bridge materials from the
mountains to tho mouth of thi* Olti
ilotivfa eati.s(r<i its selection by the Russians
as'a chief point on their bai^o of operations,
nmt'h to the pretended horror but real satis-
faction of the mhabitunts, who take in and do
for their foreign guests with the proverbial hos-
pitality of a\\ Eastern Christians, who. as a rule,
charge the stranger and the pilgrim about 300
per qent. more than they would dream of asking
tho most rapacious descendant of Jacob or
ishmael.
I was sternly warned off from my intended
vi.sit to the incipient boat bridge lying along tho
bank^ but as my glasses are very good, 1 could
seo tiie arrangements, still apparently very in-
complete, from a hillock 100 yards back. As
the whole of this portion of the left shore is as
flat as a billiard- table, my position was quite a.s
go-jdias if it had been more advanced, and cer-
tainly much safer, as the Turkish bullets were
singing quite cheerily from over the way at Kik-
ofwlis ; and as I am just now a non-combatant,
and not aimed at, the danger to me would
have been far greater than it is said to be
to the Circassian gentlemen in Russian
par who keep up the ball on this side, and
never, by any chance, receive a scratch. There
was a desultorj- bombardment, at long intervals,
from! the Ru.ssian batterie-s, and a feeble reply
froni the Turki.sh fortress, apparently without
the slightest effect, although several bulletins,
equally mendacious on both sides, have led me
to imagine, and probably with me the too con-
fiding public, that nothing but ruins marked
the place where once they frowned defiance at
each other. I am inclined to think that tho
Russian demonstrations from Sislova, only two
houre of road distant, will cause the speedy
evacuation of Nikopolis, which i-s only fortified
seriously on the river front, and so 1 will defer
to my nest letter its description, only sajing
nowithat no attempt to lay a bridge in the teeth
of its cannon caii result in anything but a
lamentable failure. As it is, we could plainly see
a strong column of Russian cavalry with a
couple of guns — *' horse" or **flving'' artillery,
and not " mounted" artillery, wliich the great
civilian strategists of most of the newspapers
are jileased to call it — moving about in rear and
up ill the direction of Rahcva ; but although tho
Turks were witliin 1,000 yards of them, they
could not send them shot, as all their pieces are
pointed in another direction. This is a pretty
significant sign of coming events whose shadows
are very long, and nothing would surprise me
less than a combined attack on Xikopohs within
the next 2-i hours.

O ! for the pen of Scott or Lever, to 'do full
justice to this morning's- brilliimt deeds, when
Koumania dashed boldly to the front, and made
her first step on her road to empire ; for, be it
kno^vn, her Prince looks forward to something
more than the mere independence of his coun-
try. ' Russia has pledged herself to a policy of
non-jaggrandizemeut, but no such shackles
fetter Roumanian energy, and why should
not I the crown of Constantino encircle his

business on a large scale, and will do or die ; or
perhaps, like the commander of Orpheus C.
Kerr's ^Vlackerel Brigade, he means to accom-
plish both. There will be a Te Doum in Bucha-
rest to-morrow when the news gets there, and
a long list of decorations in the next official
monitor, or else the country and its sovereign
will be most ungrateful for this dajr'a glorious
achievements. Manu, who commands the
First Romanian Army Corps at Islass, just

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

purely Bulgarian sources. My efforts in other
directions were klmost equally fruitle.**s in pro-
ducing anytjl inj;; ** sensational." There were a
good many y.igiio ruriiors. but no tan^ble e\i-

like truth, at tthp bottc^m of a well. Later in the
day I pursued riiy inquiries at Rustchuk, and
found that therib hadibeen a good deal of exag-

the rapacity anPl violence of the Ba.shi-Bazouks.

RUStCHtJ C VFTER THE BOMBARDMENT.
Passing on to Rustchuk I found that the sit-
uation tlierfj ffiis almost unaltered. There had
been no canbuaijiing for live days, and the peo-
fde were gradually creeping out from their cel-
arsor in f roik the helds. Bakers, barbers,
cooks, coffipt-house keepers, grocers, gun-
makers, saddlers. smith.s. aod tobacco .sellers
had opened! br I half I opened their shops and
stores, and ihe.jBtlll, to a great extent, deserted
town, ,did ] noit ivijar an aspect so mel-
ancholy aa !|it wore a few days ago.
fib". ponatjl 'I ReAtlo had returned to
pursue; for a dfcy or tjwo at least, his investiga-
tions upon tfiie ippot, His opinion is that the
talk about the doings of the Bashi-Bazouks has
been greatly^ esfagg6rp.ted. It is noted here that
duringthe lastjday^of the bombardment, after
the Russiapis jlbad; heard 6i the indignation
caused by thio attack j ou the French and Eng-
lish Coinsuia te)J,l the iRuasian Consulate, which
had hitheri< > escaped, received a fair share of
the Russian ittientioris. There were no impor-
tant public I ju|ldin!gfi near the Consulate first
destroyed, a:id|the 06nsuls are still inclined to
regard the ict is wantonly malicious. The loss
of life during! and iconsequent upon the bom-
bardment is esiimated at about 200. but these
figures are only approximate ; for my own part,
I believe they Are eixBggerated. It was noticed
that during: th^ last day they fired, the Russians
employed their lighter guns only.
This fact, coupled with the silence of the bat-
teries for »b miuiy, 4^s, gives rise to a great
the Rnssiaus nave some " big thine'' In hand on
the other ride of the river, and nave moved
their guns to a point of attack where they may
prove more serviceable than at Bnstchudc. It
cannot be said that they~ have hitherto
shown any ^^at desire to purii on in ^s
direction. Twelve days have gone by
since they crossed neiff Sistova. They
might well have had some 80,000 men, wirn
the requisite guns and storesi across by this
time. Indeed, the Turks calculate that 60,000
or 70,000 Russians have actually crossed the
river. Had they advanced boldly it is possible
that a few days ago they might have crossed
the Jantra without opposition, but now the
Turkish troops are being poured forward
from all directions, and probably by this
time the strong positions on the right
bank of the Jantra near Biela are
being held and strengthened by the Turks.
The neighborhood of Biela is expected by many
to be tho scene of a great battle within the next
few days. Timovais also regarded as a likely
locality. The Russians are suspected of a desire
to turn the left flank of the Turkish Army, force
the Shefket Pass through the Balkans, and
march on Con.stantinople„ leaving behind them
only sufflciont troops to maintain their line of
communication. Against any such bold .scheme
the Turks have prepared themselves, and great
movements of troops are reported from the
direction of Sophia. But the Russians have a
good many things on their side ; and, for one
tning, they may always depend on the Bulgari-
ans furnishing them with the best information
of the country and the state of the Army.
For a few weeks we have beeu sweltering un-
der a scorching sun. Men have been panting
for sea breezes as the hart pants for the water
brooks, and the very cattle have been pining
and dying in the fields for want of pasture.
But last evening we were visited by a thunder-
storm of almost tropical violence and intensity.
accompanied by torrents of rain. The storm
lasted for several hours. To-day the air is much
cooler, and the country will quickly be covered
with a fresh undergrowth of green pasture.
THE nCISSITVDES OF NAMES. .

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

said the IVince of Orange to him. "Yes. Sir," he re-
plied ; "and if it had not been for vour coming I
should h.ave survived the laws as weU.''_ The Man-
nini;^ may one day dispute precedence in books of
referonc" vrith a famous antiquary and a still more
famous OfcIeMtstio, and Rush with a distinguished
American diplomatist. But the worst case is perhaps
that of the name of Burke. That a man who was al-
most the father of political morality should have had
his name borne by the introducer of a new and
diabolical swcies of crime was bad enough, but tliis
was not to be all- Tlie statesman was especially a
friend to free and candid inquiry ; and now we talk
of •hiirking" Imjuiir, to denote the worst attempt
to stitlf diitctmsion.
Oecft.-i ion ally a work of fiction d.vs cruel wrong: to
a distingui'ihed name, as the old family of Bamewell
has foiind to it-i cost. As the Manlian farailv
avoided the name of ilarcu.*, so do the Barnewell!?
the name of (ieorge. and doubtless the Rigbys the
name of Xlrholas. A curious result, by the way. of
iho realiitm of modem novel-writers in this resitect,
ha.'* been to seriously limit the numt>er of titles
which persons whoha've the good (or ill) fortune to
be rai.sed to the peerage can assume; H* would be a
bohl Earl who should wish to be called Marquis of
Monmouth. It is said that Mr. TroUope, by creating
a l^iTti Chiltem, anticipated an exercise of the pre-
rojrative which her Majesty would otherwise have
been a-skcd to make in recent years. It was common-
ly reported at the time that Lord Goderich. when
promoted to a higher step-in the peerace. wished to
be called Karl Haruhl but was deterred bv some re-
marks In John JiuU abont Childe Harold. Earl
Harold was one • of the titles of the la.st Grey. Duke
of Kent, from whom Lord Goderich was maternally
doscendi-d.
Curious are tho vicissitndes of names — ' habrnt

some strangely preservuig a kind of Identity. Thus,
sham patriotism could hardly be hetter exemplified
than in Wilkes, the member for Ayl«»sbury, who in-
d.'cd frankly owned "he was no Wilkito," and in
Wilkes, the American Captain who so nearly in-
volvtHl hiscountrv in a war with EngUnd. Others
there ar© which 'must have had strangely different
sounds for the men of different generations. John
Abemethv Ls the name of a theologian of some mark
in his tla'y (]t>»0^1740j a.s well as of tho most
wonderful of surgeon*. For nearly a ccniury the
name of Kelson sugirested to England the name of a
leanied divine, and a somewhat dreary, hut highly
orthodox and honored hook on the .f'cwU and
Fe^tiraUt of the Church of England. The name of
Byron has had three ©poehis of fame, each more
brilliant than tho preceding. For a long time his-
torv knew onlv ot the gallant cavalfer who com-
niiinded theresen'e at Bdgehill and vanquished Sir
William Waller at Roundaway Down. Then u B\Ton
took a place in the list of famous English sailors,
and after him came the greatest of them all. Apro-
IK>s of this family, wa-s ever a title conferred which
suggest* a more curious combination of dissimilar
ideas, at least to modem ears, than that with which
Charles I. rewarded the Im-alty of his General i Sir
John was created "Lord Byron, of Rochdale, to tho
Countv Palatine of Lancaster."
Tho name of Shaftesbury has passed through
stranger adventures than that of Byron, having been
lK>m« bv men so utterly different, each one from the
other two. as the first, the third, and tho seventh
Earls. There are, again, two ilacaulays in the list of
English historian;* ; and though the first is well-nigh
forgotten, she once enjoyed no mean reputation.
Catharine Macaujay treated the same period of
hlstorv as Lord Macaiilay. bntwas distlnguishod by
tho hittomess of her Republican^m. For the rest
her maiden name was Sawbridge, and after ti^e death
of her tii-bt husband she became Mrs- Groliam. In
1706 Walter Scott published his first poetical effort ;
but a much greater man in that year In the popular
estimation wa.s the Rev. Thomas Scott, who printed
a formidable commentary on the Bible about the
samo time that his younger namesake was trannlatlng
Burger's " Leonora" for the benefit of the British
public. And to this day. according to Wendell
Holmes, if *yon epeak of Scott to a New-England
deacon ho will liave no notion but that you are
referring to the theologian. The names of places,
too, naturally change their significance. Sedan Ls no
longer famous for its chairs, but for quite other rea-
sons. Mimchester may, and very likely will one dny,
enjoy a very different reputation from that which it
now possesses. Florence began with commerce and
ended with the arts ; and there seems some reason to
Buppcao that the name of Manchester in the faturo
will connote much else besides cotton, and perhaps
cotton not otall. "We have all of us a vcrj* great
respect for Slauchoster, in course." said Mr. (i. O. A.
Head to Coningsby; ''look upon her as a sort of
mother, and all that sort of thing. But she is be-
hind the times, Sir, and that won't do in this age.
The long and short of it is, Manchester Is gone by.

EXTREME * FESAZTIES i FOR CRIME.
SOME OT THE BABBAKOUS PUNISHMENTS OF
HISTORY — ^DISPBOPOETION BETWEEN THE
OFFENSE AND TfeE PENALTY.
From the Fail Matt GazetU,
The tmth about the agitation for the abolition
of the death penalty is that in our age a Tery natural
reaction against the eroelties of 40 centuries has not
yet spent its force, and reactlona proverbially sin in
the direction of excess. N"o wonder that we, still leas
that our Immediate ancestors, should sometimes have
erred by too fond a clemraicy, for our remote ances-
tors were horribly cruel, though it has been urged
in their defense th&t moral indigtiation was a
stronger force with them than it is with us.
Whatever may be the ralno of this apology,
certain it is that our fathers of pre-Chnstian, of
mediaeval, and even of later times, wrote history
in letters of blood and fire. It la horrible to think of
the ingenuity once displayed by men In deviklnc tor-
ments for one another, though haply a fnture genera-
tion may find not loss cause for wonder In thinking
of the skill and patience shown by men of the
present day in centriving engines for destroying life at
a distance of five nulf s or for sinking a ship with a
crew of 500 men at three minutes' notice. It is really
quite a pity that persons with a taste for " atrocities "
should trouble themselves to make journeys to the
hot and comfortless East on the chance of seelnj^ or
hearing of a bastinado, or to investigate a fabulous
story concerning an impalement, when our own his-
tory, OS well as that of all other nations, is so rich
In well-authentieated stories of the same kind.
fiome of the most cruel punishments ever inflicted
were no donbt the result of a burst of indignation
agaln<:t some peculiar or novel crime, and are not al-
together so discreditable to human nature as might
be supposed. They wore, in truth, very much akin
to the emotional legislation of the present day. The
4|>uke of Somerset described a recent Act ef Parlia-
ment as the fruit of a fit of hysterics. In the six-
teenth century au act to deal with the some evils
would probably have prescribed some barbarous pun-
ishments for negligent ship-owners. Tlius, In tho reign
of Henry VTII., society was profoundly moved at hear-
ing that the Bishop of Rochester's cook had poisoned
17 persons. True, only two of the 17 died, but
society nevertheless manag»*d to get Itwlf into that
frame of mind whichXx>rdHelboume so wisely dreaded,
and which demands that " something " shall be done.
Tho somethine done in the year of grace 1581 was
to pass a bill thronah both Houses of Parliament
awarding the penalty of 1>olling to death to
persons guilty of so awful a crime. The
act was even made retrospective, and the
unfortunate Richard Roose. otherwise Coke, duly
expiated his sins in this horrible fashion. In 1542,
Margaret Dav^'. a young woman, suffered in tho
same manner for a sunilar crime. It is only fair to
the memory of the generation which laid the founda-
tions of our relUrious freedom to remember that the
cruel act was repealed in 1547. But how stem was
tho temper of the age may be gathered from a pas-
sage in one of Latimer's sermons — a sentence
of which, by the way, might have been
quoted with effect in the Empress-<5oeen con-
troversy of last year. "Cambyses wasa creatJEmperor,
such another as our master is. He had many Lord
Deputies. LoVd Presidents, and Lieutenants under
him. It is a great while ago -•dnc^ I read the his-
tory. It chanced he had under him, in one of his do-
minions, a briber, a gift-taker, a gratifier of rich
raen : he followed gifts as fast as h«^ that followed
the pudding, a hondmaker in. his of&co to mdlce his
son a greatman. As the old saying is: 'Happylsthe
child whose father goeth te the Devil.' The cry of the
poor widow came to the Empf rors ear, and caused him
to flay the Judge quick, and laid his skin in the chair
of judgment, that all Judges that should give judg-
ment afterward should sit in the same skin. Ipray
God we may once see the skin in Eneland." There
seems no reason to suppose that lAtlmer spoke half
in jest, spectator as he may have been of punish-
ments almost equally frightful.
What strikes one most obout tho justice of tho
good old times is the ntter disproportion between the
offense and the penalty which is too often to be
f<iund. Thus, we read that in the year l*i2S "two
dyers of Exeter were fl<^ged for tea/'hlng their art in
the north" (of England.) Obviously the offense
In question, if there were offense, was one
which only called at the most for an action of
tort. Again, in 1572 (by 14 Elii., c. ,5»
it was enacted that " sturdy beirgars" ehould be
" grievously whipped and bumiMl through the right
ear." If caught a third time at their occupation of
"sturdy" beJEKing. they "were to be haneed. How
lupu have in abnost all ages been barbarously pun-
i.sbed for holdinc opinions which had scarcely any in-
fluence on their lives, Ls perhaps the most melancholy '
as it is the most undoubted fart in history. The
King of Brobdingnag a-sked Gulliver what were tho
causes of war among men ; and Gidliver answered
that one of them "was a difference of opinion as to
whether the juice of a certain berry were -wnne
or whether it were blood. Human pnnishments
have been multiplied through that same sterile
controversy. Sometimes, however, ecclesiastical au-
thorities have found themselves in trouble; yetitia
with mingled feelings that one loams that "80 in-
tractable Bishops" are s.iid to havp been drowned by
order of an Eastern Em.peror in 370. or reads of the
remarkable veneeance taken by one of tho Plan-
tagenets upon a French Dean and Oiapter who had
elected a Bishop without consulting him on the sub-
je<-t. Apropos of clerics and laics we are confidently
assured that a canon law of the English Church,
pa'yspd in the year 747, forbade drunkenness in tho
clerg>-. It wa.s apparently thought a hopeless busi-
ness to forbid laj-men tbat pleasure, and yet Con-
5t«niine II., King of Scotlajid, who "flourished"
from 858 to 874, is said to have punished drunken-
ness with death. Another ob\-ious flaw in very
ancient justice was that innocent and guilty
were frequently inrolvcd in the same ruin.
The fate which overtook Achan's familv
must have overtaken thousands of others. "An^.
Joshua, and all Israel with him. took Achon. the son
of Zorah. and the silver, and tho garment, and the
wedge of gold, and Ms sons, and his daughters, and
his o.xen. and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent,
and all that he had • • • and burned them with
fire, after thev had stoned them ■with Btone-s." Equally
unjust was the punishment awarded to parricides in
sncient> Rome, at least under the Itepublic ; though
il may be hoped that only Lucius Ostins. who has the
unen\-iable reputation of having been the first ftoinan
found guiltv of that crime, actually suffered the full
penalty of tfie law. He was first scouiwd, then sewn
up in a leathern sack with a doc. a cock, a viper, and
an ape, all alive. The bag and its animate contents
werti then cast into the sea. Xow, it would be ad-
mitted by all in the present day that the doc. the
cfK'.k. and the ape were hardly dealt with, and even a
viper may be supposed to have its rights.
. Some Princes have made punishments quite amus-
Inc — to all except the person most concerned. Thus
l^on Carlos, son of Philip IL, Irritated at the pain
caused him by a pair of tight boots, had thorn cut up
and -served in a stew, which the unfortunate boot-
maker was compelled to eat to the last morsel- Be-
fore we condemn tho Prince of Spain for cruelty, we
should each try to call to mind our own feelings when
wearing tight boots. Most of us have probably
wished the maker of them in a much worse position
than the "purveyor to his Royal Highness.' Wo
fear it was no other than the "good" Haroun-al-
Raschid who. from very much the same con-
fused Ideas on tho subject of retributive justice as
troubled the bndn of Don Carlos, had a baker baked
in his own oven for sellinc adulterated bread to
tho people. But perhaps at once the most ludicrous
and the most temble punishment ever imagiued was
that which an unfortunate gentleman, who rejiided at
St. Petersburg in the reUm Of Catherine II., had
reason for a short time l<» expect as his fate. The
Storj- is an instructive one. as showing what a resi-
dent in Russia believed to be qnite possible at a time
almost within the memory of men still living. S^gur
describes thQ hero of the narrative as a stranger,
naturalized in Russia. Suderland bv name, and banker
by professioir. Ver>' likely his real name was Suther-
land, and hLs nationality Scotch or English. He
stood high in the favor of the Erapre-<!s, who had de-
posited considerable sums of money with him.
Ono morning a servimt came and told ilr. Suderland
that the house was surrounded with soldiers, and
that an officer of Police desired to speak to him.
The officer, whose name was Reliew. next entered
and informed tho hanker that their "m^st gracious "
Sovereign had charge<l him to execute an order the
severity of which positively frightened hlra. He
then tried to break the news gently, alloiving the
ttcltftted banker to put one question after another.
" Is it Siberia?" Suderland at length faltered.
" AlasI one returns from Siberia," answered Reliew.
"Prison J" "One comes out of prison." "Good God!
I am not to be knouted ! ' " The knout is
terrible, but does not kill." (He should have said.
"does not always kill") "Is my life, then, in
peril V idmost sobbed the hanker ; "the Empress so
goort so clement — ^bnt let me know the worst."
" Wfll, my dear friend," qtioth the officer in a dole-
fnl voice, "ray most gracious sovereign has com-
manded me to 'have you stuffed." The unhappy part
of the affoirwas that Reliew, though a kind-heaitcd
man, iw>uld not admit that he conld have mis-
taken the Czarina's injunctions, which, moreover,
ho had eWdently no intention of disobeying. In
vain the banker expostulated, implored, p'rotesteil.
Reliew was sure there was no error. He had indeed,
he said, |Ventured to say to her Mojesty that the com-
mand wras a strange one, and had made appeal to her
well-known clemency, but she had cut short his first
sentence with the remark, impatiently uttered, that
bis duty was to obey orders and not to comment on
them. At length, however, Reliew so far overcame
his own fears as to agree to carry a note to the Em-
press. Even as he went his heart foiled him,
and he repaired instead to the honse of Count Bruce,
who. on hearing the story, thought the officer of Po-
lice niiust be mad. Hasteninjc to tlie palace, Count
Bruce demanded and obtained an audienoo of the
Empress ; and it need hardly be added that then at
length the mystery was solved. Her Majesty had
jUHt lost a beautiftu dog, the gift of the banker ; and
called after him, "Suderland." Of course, it was
the dead favorite, and not his quondam master, who
was to be stuffed. But why should an officer of Po-
lice be asked to superintend the srn^ng of a dead
doffi It was not poor Reliew who was altogether to
blame for the fright occasioned to a most respectable
banker.

deathly sick will recover, and those who were ealle^
anddenlyfrom homo will return. Tlie striker will h^
a tradition and the mob a mere memory. The re-
porters will lay aside the gory pencils with "which
they slew thousands at all the great railroad centres,
and the telegraph operators will return to the peooe-
ful avocations of infrequent dispafhes and 10-cent

will haunt newi.paner offices. He will brook in on
quiet families as thev sit around smudge flres boili
for the benefit of the stuasonrtble mutrjuito. He "will
be multitudinous on free-lunch routes, and a bor«

We have studied his nature and habits with care,
for he has given frequent opportunities, and we oro
convinced that being on eye-witness is only one of
his phases. He has many others. He began life as
"the lirst wliite child " bom in any given Western
town- In gome towns he makes up 'nearly one-half
the population. Madistm, in this State, Ls a notabla
example, lly actual count there are in that %-iIlaao
35 "first white children." It's tho onlv capiial
some of them have, and they get along very well on,
it. An odd feature in many of their cases Is that
while each could get a number of reputable old riti-
zens to .swear that he was the " first white chiW," ho
could horly tind A:iy one reckless enough to say that |
he has grown up a white man.
But this, we take It. Is greatly due to his after hi*.
tory- When in 8**hool he did all the smart and dan-
gerous thincs. Ho plaved the trick and the other
fellow got the licking. Ho saw mad dogs and escaped
their fangs by hi-s own rlevemessr and when fishing
he always saw sea serpents and things of a monstmos
kind. When he came of age ho began rolling the
easting vote in electioiuj carried by one majority. Ho
has sent men to Congres-s elected Governor*, and
even chosen a President, by this wonderful faculty.
And he frequently traveled great distances and sut* '
fered considerable los5<-s lo rast that vote.
He "went into business and always had most niar-
Telons financial ewajws. Sometimes he T\-as lucfcy,
at others unlucky, liut ahvaj-s remarkable. When
banks were breaking he was always the last man to
draw his deposits before tho doors closed. I.*tp<»
counterfeits wen* nevi-r discovert till they had Mft
his possession. But he aUvavs missed his mark in
real e-stata. Ho wa,s implorfnl to take tho best comer
lot in each city and village in tho West for "tho
price of a pa'.r'of boot.s." If he had only foreeeen,
the changes ahead he ''onld have had a quarter sec-

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

There was a vast shrinkage in his market ^-alue. and
we ore not quite certiUa that he was not at the bot-
torn of the strike. Certainly it's nuts for him. Ho
stood in danger's van, saw all th^ carnage. an«l
reveled in gore: Ho became the terrible "eve-wit-i

he saw the streets run red with blood; he saw the^

Recent events demonstrate that dampers environ us,
wldch may render it necessary for the authorities to
use more force than tliey have hitherto had at their
disposal. Tlie m^r^ organization of thi.H force
will probably prevent any occarrenco demand-

and remedy. tht-n. Its existence is abso-
lutely necessarv. We have encouraged all good
citizens to enroll and prepare for actii^»n. The pur-
pose of the organization is to sustain the constituted
authorities, undertaking no duty not immediately
connected with the securing of life and property.
It embraces citizens of nil sc'ts and all parties, '
holding all shades of opinion, t^ach r^ady, in tho
presence of danger to ilio puldic welfare, to lay
aside all differences, and to refrain for a time from
urging individual views. In common with all tha
inhabitants of tho State, we are embarrassed by
what is properly called the Ciiine.se question, and
are most desirous tn see its early solution in a man-
ner satisfactory to our whol** people. We ail re&lizQ
alike the difficulties by which it is surrounded- But,
however desirable it may appear that this disturbing
element should finally be withdrawn and removed
from our mMst, we are unanimous in the conviction
tliat violence will not hasten its proner adjustment,
and may produce Incalculable injury to all- Th«

In this purpose every good citizen must concur, and

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

of these issues an era of seeming prosperity, of
^* good times" was set agoing. Production increased,
railroads were built, viUages laid out and almost in
.m night became ambitious arid thriving cities. . .Some-
thing of this was seen in every part of the country ;
tral m the West it was more general, there being in
the Eastsome.staid old communities which the apirit
erf speculation nevev Invaded. Counties were laid
out, not because they were needed, but because
there were ambitious politicians seeking oflBce, and
real estate sptoculators were anxiotls to sell lots at
the ineritable '* county seat." Kailrnads were built,
not because there was any one to travel upon them,
or any freight to carrv, but because tiiere was
a profit la building them, and there were com-
munities unscrupulous and- thoufjhtless enough to
mortgage the eaminK?* of fiiinre getiiTationa to raise
the money. This aban'dant currency, joined to the
effects of a heavy protectivo tariCF, utimulated manu-
fecturing. Establishments multiplied. At every

more easy to excite a prejudice against the bond-

held abroad, and in the opinion of some woold'he
patriots wlio think an alien and an enemy are syn-

to destroy commerce and interconmiunicatlon — it
would be a neat stroke of policy uid serve to pusolah
tliose guilty of living under a "monarchical despot-
ism, " to refuse to pay them altogether. But there have
not been wanting bold and true men who have corn-
Bated, with might and main, these dangerous attacks
upon the national honor, who have scorned repudia-
tion as a national cq^ne, and have the foresight to
see that, notwithstanding the flaming appeals of
demagognes and the machinations of speculators, the
great mass of the x*®PPl6 need only be aroused to
the threatened danger of disgrace and ruin that repu-
diation will surely bring. And with singular courage
they have prnclaimed these doctrines from the plat-
form and the ^umpand been snccerafnl at the poUs,"
until now the danger is well-nigh over.
Latterly the repndiators, beaten in so many points
that they no longer hope to prevent the payment of
the national debt, have seized upon the brilHant idea''
of paying it in depreciated coin, and now the
" silver dollar of our fathers " has become the rally-
ing cry of parties. Forced from the position that
they will pav nothing, they are getting so far as to
say they will give silver worth 85 cents or OO cents.
The argum^^nt is plausiblie, and each party in the
"Western States i.s making haste to first put Itself on
the record. It is indeed gravely stated by leading
Kepnblicfln pipers that their party must so declare
in their platform or lose the State.
Ti^a truckling to ignorance — to base prejudice of
one j;lilss<Bgaih)st another-^is lamentable, bnt charac-
teristic everjiwhere of ^ the defnagogue and short-
sighted politician. Let the Repnbhcans of Ohio re-

made, thnt when the Pendletons, Aliens, Carj-s.

the prosperitij" of Its people in a m<ffe dangerbns
manner than jif at the head of marchinglegions, they
opposed these wicked conspirators only from a mere
political- neees-Hity — from circumstances which
they conld not control. Let them say that the pro-
portion of silfer. if any. which a public or private
creditor Is obliged to receive as a legal tender: is not
to be delennihed by prejudice, nor by the vote of
parties. Let them realize that among the men who
now insist on the creditor being dep^jfed of 10 per
cent, of his claim are those who have refused ;to pay
him anythiugl Let them only have the courage of
right convictions, aud they may trust the people,
and when the day comes "in the near future when
financial questions are no longer the foot-ball of poli-
ticians ; when, iu short, no politician or party dare
aosail the public credit, they will wonder at their
pre.**ent cowardice, and realize thai what is ^yrong

WOBEMEK IX BOTE BEAIISPEEBES.
To th£ Editor oftha AViP- Turk Tinita :
Vour well-known liberal impartiaUty in allow-
ing - space Ibr men of all conditions and shades of
opinion. In which they may express their Wews on
current topics, leads me to hope you will not reject
this letter.
* As a working man. coming originally to this coun-
try In the faith that here there was no class govern-
ment, prejudice, or feeling; that here, if nowhere
else in the world, the dignity of labor was recognized.
I made no mistake. But '20 years on thLs side the
Atlantic have taught me thnt the difference between
the condition of the workman in this 'and that of the
workman in the Old World was, to a much larger
degree than I had imagined, circumstantial rather
than sentimental. Several <jf the most important
States in this Union hava just passed through a; bit-
ter experience almost identical In its causes, pur-
poses, and effects with the disastrous conflict^ be-
tween capital and labor (so called) which have i con-
vulsed Ejjope iu past years. There are those who
believe that we are eveu now only at the threshold
of a gigantic problem, and the longer an honest effort
at its solution is delayed the more oangerous and
difficult will that solution be.
People talk learnedly about the relations between
capital and labor. Mr. Beecher told us last Sunday
that "capital is nothing more nor less than con-
densed labor," and that " the trades-unions originated
under European systems destroy liberty." WiU Mr.
Boecher Inform us through what process of coii-
densatiori a given amount of labor mu,st pass in or-
der to fit it for UJiO as capitjU by a railroad or othnr
corporation iu the purchase of legislators ? Ho (^aid,
ai.so, that working men were -oppressoil l>ocause,
bclus poor and ignorant, they— couldn't help It. In
all humility, m-ay I suggest that all this is neither
strikingly original nor conclusive. The rich have no
desire to oppress. Ah. no : poor soul-*, they do it
by the force of an irresistible 'great natural law."
"poor littit* one pound I" saysf tho Plymoutli
preacher. It may be hard to be ''.sat upon" by
your neighbor two jKiuuds, but — -"nature's laws are
inexorable." .-\nd J.bo audience ("congregaUun," I
suppose, would bo inappropriate. ) very prv» perly
lauijlu A proitcher. It would seem, in these daj-s Is
nothing if not " funny."
But my purpose mainly in this communication is.
so far as in me lies, to protest in the name of work-
ing men against the flippant and sneering tone in
which this subject — the most vital of the time — was
treated by the reverend gentleman through the
whole addrosi. I claim the right to say that to tell
the working men of this or any nation that they tire
■'■ small in the waist aud smaller in, the head.'' and
" reap the misfortunes of inferiority.^' is au Insult to
them so outrageous, a libel on the common sen.se of
tho community so gr6ss, that it ought not to pass un-
rebuked, no matter how lofty the pinnacle from which
the utterance may conio.
The vrrttfr. in claiming the privilege of speaking as
a workman for workmen, bases that claim on an ex-
perience during the last 35 years as one among the
workers in tho cotton mills of Lancashire, among
those who " go down to the sea in ships." with the
lumbermen of the Penobscot, the shoemakers of
Massachusetts, itud as a workman in one branch of
the building trades in several other States ; and ven-
tures to assert that the bona tide working men,, cer-
tainly in this countr}* and in England, (and in saying
this, no in\"idioij8 exception is meant, but.the writer
can speak of these' alone from personal knowledge.)
will, for native Integrity of character,- breadth of
thought, (thc^gh little culture,) and gooa. clear, com-
mon sense," compare favoratly with any dais or por-
tion of society, although they may not have the pow-
er to " soar," or even to " gush" to any considerable
extent. The talk about ^'co^imunism'' in connection
with the real working men of this cotintry Is simply
bosh. 4

Ftrikc, and for many months the iron worken* of
England were idle. Kow much and what kind of co-
ercion was resorted to to compel weak-kneed emplov-
ersto join tho strikers we may never know. Tuelr
meetings were generally secret. Well, did the men
howl about communism or any other ism that might
be the bugbear of the hour .' 'At the risk of making
this letter too long I would like. to give a short
sketch of the effect which this enforced idle-
ness aud their connection mth a trades-
nnion had upon 20 of the ' men employed
in the same shop with myself. One or two were
men of some education ; most were lamentably igno- _
rant of anything like " book learning " outside of their '
' particular line of work. Some years pre\iously to
the time 1 speak of these men, with others, had
quietly organized a co-operative store on a very
small scale indeed. It had grown. "ITiey now turned
the e'xperience thii-s gained mto other channels, still.
.of course, retaining their membership in the society.
TTiey organized a co-operative machme works with,
the aid and sj-mpathy of the fell destroyer, the trades-
union, "originated under European systems." This
was in 18a2.__In February, 1801, I visited the
place. The twenty had become a hundred— tlie small
workshop an extensive, well-equipped system of
shops. The comi«my had orders — which I saw — on
thefr books from different parts of the world suffi-
cient to employ their entire force for three years.
Every workman wa.s a sliarer in the profits on the
labor he performed; every skilled! workman was a
member of the destructive " union,!" and, to my cer-
tain knowledge, every man of the original twenty
took his beer daily.
This is but one among many instances. Of course,
they did not all succeed. But the history of that
time furnishes abundant evidence of the capacity of
working men to combine successfully for wise and
healthy purposes. I fear T have exceeded a reason-
able limit, and must break off, leaving tmsaid much I
thought to .say, but In conclusion may I not respect-
fully suggest to Mrr Beecher and others like nim,
that to help the working man, a little closer followitig
of the "carpenter's Son." and thoughts inspired by
his teachings would, perhaps, be a little more effect-

PRESBYTERIAK CHURCHES IMPOSSIBLE OP

THEY CAUSED IN THE COUNCIL. '
I JVom the London Spectator^ JvXy 21.
Tho Council of Presbyterians from all parts
of the world, which has held session in Edinburgh
for the best part of a fortnight, has now closed its
sittlngsj aujA It is worth while for English Churchmen
to striv^ asl they may after an understanding of its
doings and nretensions. True, the positive amount
of whatlwas transacted stands in an inverse ratio to
the arrogance of the claim which was advanced.
There i^as an infinitude of talk, such as seems to be
an inevitable concomitant of all such gatherings,
though the outcome of menffvable work was slight.
Trumpets were blown loudly, and with lusty breath,
but it is more than questionable whether many Jeri-
choes were shaken by the sound. Yet it would be a
mi^tak^ to depreciate the significanre of the assem-
bly, or wholly to contemn its assertion of place and
prerogative. That oasertion was sufiOlciently high,
bnt it is not all unreal. Along with a good deal of
empty braggini and vain-glorious parade, there was
an Impressive demonstration of substantial unity and
living f()rc«.
Tliree hundred and thlrty-tlirco delegates, commis-
sioned jfrom 49 separate churches, met in confer-
ence, pf old time, a mystic significance would cer-
tainly have been attributed to tlieae peculiar num-
bers, bait they were reached accidentally. Some
churches, whose representatives would have been ad-
missible, seut-none. Tliose who sent, did so in ac-
cordance with the rule that a clergyman and a lay
elder should he returned for every 100 congrega-
tions. Of the persons deputed several did not ap-
pear, bnt still It was a truly suggestive convention.
Its members came from all the ends of the earth.
The United States was very strongly represented.
Not one of the British colonies was without its dele-
gate. Of European nationalities only Russia and
Turkey lacked some one to 8i)eak for them.
The assemblage hsd a veritable oecumeni-
cal character, and the exhibition made of the
cosmopolitanism that belongs to Presbiterianism. of
its capacity for raalntalninit a vigorous life under the
most diverse and tryingcohditions, was very striking.
It was fit the meeting should Ikj held In "the gray
metropolis of the North." The American and Colonial
churches are all of S<'oto-Irish descent ; nud eveu as
Carthage loved Tj-re hecnnse from it the founders of
Carthage came, as manv of the early Churches long
clierisli'ed a warm affection for tho mother Church of
Jerusalem, so it was meet that the far-seattered chil-
dren of Knox should ns.semble In tho city that was
his home and the craille of their tpstimony. To a
stranger educated iu the idea that a Presbyterian and
a (disputant are interchangeable term.s. but the chief
business of ever>- l*resbytcrian votary is to cultivate
the habit of profitle.'is junRlinK. that the - .sarcasm
launched by Samuel liutler nioro than 200 years ago,
which described the whole .s«ct as being—
I " That valLint <*row

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

Ao one who understanils that mur\-elotis

the Presbyterian system, its capabilities of delihent-
tive and executive rule, the style in which it unites
freedom of private judguient with the b«netit of a
W;foroiis Church order, will regret such a probability.
No man ha.s studied the problem of ecclesla.stifal
powers' and relations with so mm"h painstaking and
instcifitas Dr. Domer. of lierlin. (with extracts from
whose writings Archdeacon Hare was wont to crowd
the notes to his charges _;) and he. iu apologizing for
absence from tlie gatherintr, wrote : " The Presby-
terian Churches represent the muscular system in the

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

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

gests the fcilosiingi metiod by which the General
Government moiy gett croui ly pay the debt of the Old
Dominion: "In n^y opiiion, relief is within our

and which Itj is highly expc dient to grant. "We have
a public doraaln, ionslstng in round numbers of
1,232,789,53'^ acresr-an ,; trea larger than all Europe,
Including Rnsjijia. Deducting such portions of
Alaska as are not adaptedjto grazing or agriculture,

sent to Ludlow-Street Jail recently to await the issue
of the chai^ges against him, was entitled io baih

ville on June 20. 1877 ; whether he did
not mibmit a motion at that meeting
that the employes compel the company to
reinstate certain employes who had been discharged
by the Receiver ; whether he was not acquainted
with Paul Horton and Adam Kohler, formerly em-
ployes of the Buffalo Division of the Erie Railw-y,
and whether he did not, on the 20th June, IS. 7.
send a letter to these persons signed "4thV. P.;"
whetiier the signature indicated that he wrote the
letter officially as Fourth Vice-President of some or-
ganization : whether he attended a meeting bi Jersey
City of the engineers, firemen, and brakemen on
the Krio Railway June 2Sth, 1877, and did not
there refuse to agree to the proposed reduction ;
whether he did not. the same day. call on Receiver

eral Superintendent of the road, on the 30th June,
at HomellsvUle. that he was Chairman of a
committee of the brakemen who liad been
to New-Vork to confer with Receiver ' Jewett,
and that he said the brakemen and other employes
would do much as he might direct them ; whether
he did not tell Mr. Bowen that if their demands
were not acceded to they would go on strike, and
that the consequences might be very serious : and if
the men became e-xasperated they would tear up the
track aud bum the buildings of the company; whether
he did not theu state that he ma^le those statements
as a threat ; whether the operations of the strikers
were not under thy directiou of a committee, of

below by demurrer to the i)etiti<m, and judsnuent
was iriv.-M f«ir the plaintiff. The clause of the con-
stitution on which tho defendant relie.'t is the 14th
section of article 11. and is as follows : *• Tiie Gen-
eral .\ssembly shall not authorise any connty. city,
or town to bt'come a stockholder in.* or lo loan it*
credit to aiiv company, .'issociaiion, tir ''or-
noration. nnfess two-thirds of the (jual-
iti<-tl voters of such county, city, or town,
at a rettilar or special election to be
held therein, shall assent thereto.'" This pro-
hibiliou. it will be obser\'ed. ia lUcuinst the Legisla-
tures auilioriziui: municipal subscriptions or aid to
private corjiorations: it does not pnrjMirt to take
away any autJiority alreaOy granted. It only limits
the power of the I-*ffislatu"n* in granting such author-
ity for the time to come. This ii:is been settlnd by
ti*o Supreme <_'onrt of Missouri in several well-con-
sidered de»-isions. (See The State vs. Sullivan
Couutv. r»l Mo., 522; The State vs. Greene
t"<unity. 54 Mo.. 540.) In the formt>r casi> the
<'4nirt say ; " Power coufem^d on counties to take
aud subscribe stock without a submission
to a vole td" the people, before the Con-
stitution Went into operation, remained un-
affected by that innrumeiit." (51 Mo., 531.)
The same view was taken bv this court in the recei-.t
cane of < 'alia way County vs. Foster, decidisi at the jtres-
enr term. (See .-ilso State vs. Mavsville and Ijoxin;--
ton K. H. Co.. 13 B. Monroe. 1.) Tlie st>e( ific ijues-
t ion iti the present case, therefore, is whether the
authority jjiven to counties and towns in ISjT to
subscribe to the capital stock of the Ale.xandria and
Bhutmlit'ld Railroad Comjiany has l)ecome extin-
^ished by the Rubsequent consolidation of that
company with other ctinipanies, irresneetive of tlie
constitutional provision referred to. ri'Iio constitu-
tion does not itself, as wo hftve se*Mi. interfere
Willi authority given previous to its adoption. That
simple consolidation with another .company does imt
extinguish the power of the counties to sutscrii)c. or
the privilege of the company to receive stibscrip-
tious. wa.s decided in the case <»f the State \a
Greene County, 5-4 Mo., 540. After an extended
view of the authorities ou the above point, the
judiimont Is affirmed, Mr. Ju.«;tice Field t^ikinii no

band had his life insured ou condition that If he

s^f, other%rise it should go to hi.-* widow. In 1872
he got his wife to assign her interest in the polii'\-
to one .McCormick. who reassigned it to plaintiff,
and shortly afterward Butterby died. Tlie company

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

A LATVYER IX AX UGLY POSITIOX.
In May last a respectable looking man named
Lewis O. Corbett, who claimed to be a lawyer with-
out practice, (and wlio. It seems, is a lawj'er and a
member of the Bar Association, ) applied to the firm
of John Beacham & Co., publishers, No. 23 Liberty-
street, for something to do. and was employed as a
canva-sser. A few days afterward he presented a
check on the Long I.*iland Bank for $9 79, ilrawu in
his own favor by William X. Jarboe, Jr., of Jersey
City, and asked Mr. Beacham to cash it for him, as
he was sadly in need of money. Mr. Beacham said
it was not his custom to make advances on unknown
p.tper, T»ut he relaxed his caution on this occasion on
account of Corbett'g apx>arent honesiy and need!'
ness. In the course of a few days Corbett pre-
sented another check for $25, drawn* in his favor on
tlie, Mechanics' Bank, of Broakl>Ti. b^ Rich-
ard I). K. Lorin & Co.. and thin Mr.
Beacham also cashed, the inducine arguments
being tho same as iu the first instance. Cor-
bett disappeared after receiving the money, and
when the checks were protested Mr. Beacham em-
ployed Detective Mulvey to look after him. He was
arrested yesterday at ilis residence. No. 463 West
Sixty-firKt-slreet,*and was taken before Jmitice Smith
at the Tombs Police Court. The Justice at once
rec*>ijuized him as having been liefore him some time
apo m the Fifly-seventii-Street Court for an attempt
to swindle a butc}ier with a false check, on which oc-
casion he e.scaped by claiming that he had blank
ehefks in his p'H-ket on two different banks, and that
he drew the check by mistake on the hank in which
he had no deposit. Corbett acknowledged the truth
of what tho Justice said, but denieil that he was
;niiltyinthe presentca.se. the persons who signed
the checks tM.'in« bona fide ImHJne.ss men, whom he
cimld produce in court at anyninment. Furthermore,
he said he was himself the possessor of considerable
real property, and could readily settle his debts. He
did not. howttver. satisfactorily explain why he so un-
ceremonion.'^ly de.serted Mr. lieacham's employ after
e»-ttlnz -■f'.^.j from him. T!u^ Ju-;ti'-e remarked that
he seemed to be a Kystemaile swindler, and committed
bim for trial in default of $1,500 bail.
AX Al^PAREXTLY VXPROVOKED ASSAULT.

23 Ann-street. The assailant was promptly arrested,
but an examination was not held in the case until
voFterday, the complaining witness being unable to
leave his" bed in the New-York Hospital, whither be
had been carried in an un('ons<'iou-s state after tho
assault upon lum. For several day.s it was thought
tliat he would die from a ga.«^h iu the neck, in-
flicted evidenllv with a knife, or some other sharp
instnunent. in his aflSdarit, he swears that the
attack upon him was entirely unprovoked, and it
doe.-^ not appear that Healey has even the excuse of
druiUkenuess to ofiVr for Kis singular conduct. The

Kkoxtiux. Tenn., July 23, lef77.
There has been qtiite an interest in the lal«
doings of the Trustee* of the East Tennesaee Uni-
versity, the culnunation of a purpose that ha-s been
germiuating for two years at least, of a desire run
ning further hack. The East Tennessee L'niversiiy
has long heen an eye-sore to the Confederates, for the
reason that the President, Eev. I>r. Humes iras a
stout Unionist duiing the war; that a maj'mty oi
tho Trustees were of the same class, aud som(» ol
them Xortbem men ; that Northern men are i:um-
hered among the Professors, and that the proct-eds of
the fund were quite too rich and rare to be permitted
to drop into any but their own hands.
Two 3rears since, at the annual meetine of the
board, a motion wa.s made by one of our leadtn:?
clergymen to the eff*-ct — if not in the«e preejse w>rdff
— that, in future, the Faculty and leathers of the
college should be appointed from that section of the
country from whence it derived its students. This
delicate blow at the members of the Faculty Imillng
from the North was an-estenl liy tho strung expression
of feeling of a portion of the board. The resolution ' .
was withdrawn aud a new mode of fining lh« end
substituted. Tho corporation is a 'close" one. hav-

■ The recent squabbles over the reorganiza-
tion of Republican District Associations,
the formation by men of dubious character
and antecedents of " Independent " Kepub-
licau Committees, and the generally unset-
tled condition in which tfio party organiza-
tion is left in this City, iought to show the
necessity for men of some standing and ap-
proved public spirit assuming their prop-
er place in its ranks. The President's
order will certainly have failed of one of its
objects if it leaves, even for a time, the
control of the party machinery in the hands
of persons ImS worthy of popular confl-
dfnce than those who have just been relieved
orf the task of directing it. But that will
.'certainly be the result unless Kopublicans
of character and energy make their influ-
ence felt ill their respective districts, and,
recognizing the necessity for early and ac-
tive work, give the local associations a repre-
sentative character which they have, of late
years, very partially possessed. It is too
early to discuss candidates or mature plans
for the campaign ; it is not t(5o early to per-
fect the or^nizations which communicate
diiectly with the people, an^l on whose effi-
ciency depends sd much of the successful
Tvork of the canvass.
The prosecution of the allies of tho " Bob-
ber Governor" of South Carolina, even
though based on the evidence of ei-Gov.
Moses himself, would excite more respect
for its motives if there was any dispo-
sition shown on the part of the Demo-
cratic Government of that State to bring the
murderers of Ellentou and Hamburg to
jvuitice. Instead of that, however, our
V^ashiiigton correspondent states that
Jjressure is being brought upon the Presi-
dent by South Carolina Democrats to
direct tho aljaiidoamcnt o£ the prosecu-
tions again.-;t Bltlep. and his followers and
imitatta-.s brought in tho , United States
Court. The rascality of tlje rule of MosE.s
was !^oss and palpable enough to render
its punishment both desirable and certain,
but surely tho organized thuggism of the
Haraburg massacre and the Ellentou riot is
quite as well established, and quite as
wvrthy of exemplary retribution.
It is very likely that the reports of the
jRussian defeat at Plevna are somewhat
exaggerated. Nevertheless, it is certain
that the invaders have met with a disaster
in thi.s their tirst great battle. Heretofore they
have advanced slowly, but without much
serious opposition. It has been the marvel
of all on-lookers that the Turks shoidd offer
gneh feeble opposition, and should yield
■position after position without the fierce re-
si'stance which has always heretofore char-
acterized the intrenched Ottoman. If
It be true that the generalship of
the Turkish Army has reserved all
determined assault on the Russian Army
tmtil it has crossed the Balkans, we are now
to witness the development of a new style
of tactics. The Fabian policy is to be
abandoned, says one account. Osman
Pasha's great plan is now to be unfolded,
Bays onr own correspondent. At present,
ihe Russians maintain their lines of com-
munication, and, though their advance has
been cheeked, the defeat at Plevna is far
from being a fatal disaster. The grand
struggle for the plains south of the Balkans
is.yet to come.
"Wednesday's blood-letting at Scranton
has sobered the strikers, aiid there is a fair
■^prospect that the labor difBoultiea in that
region will be settled without ftirther vio-
lence. It is nnfortonate that the miners
should, by their partial identification
with. Wednesday's riot, have acted
bk B way likely to oIom the pub-
lic ear to their alleged grievances. That
some of these deserve attention is suffi-
ciently obvious. The tyrannical abuse of
the "truck system" has undoubtedly had
a large share in exasperating the men
against their employers, and the absence
of jmy disposition to pay , attention i to
complaints which were not emphasized by
a strike has probably been as iaanif est i at
Scranton as elsewhere. It is to be hoped
that the necessity for some closer inter-
course between labor and capitjal will not
fail to be recognized as one of Ithe lessons
of the fatal results of a deplorable series of
bltmdera on both sides.
The World is moved in the interests of a
tax-burdened people to make the following
inquiry: " When a>tax-payer and an advo-
cate of economy in public and private ex-
penditure is told that the necessary cost of
eac£ New- York City election is over $200,-
000, may he not naturally ask whether this
is not rather tbo big a price to pay every
yeart" While the tax-payer aforesaid is
about it, might he not also ask
whether annual salaries amounting to
$S5,000 are not rather too T)ig a price to
pay for the services of our Board of Alder-
men ; likewise whether a similar query might
not be put in regard to the $26,000 paid
to OTir four Police Commissioners, the $17,-
000 paid to the Fire Commissioners, the
$16,500 paid to the Comtnissioners of
Charities, the $12,500 paid to the Dock
Commissioners, the $12,000 paid to the
Mayor, and the $10,000 to the Controller f
Further, it might be suggested with be-
coming meekness that a Commissioner of
Jurors is rather dear at $15,000, and that
the $150,000 or so which is annually
pocketed in the shape of fees: by " D(ck''
Croker and his brother Coroners should be
partially diverted into the public Treasury.
As the World feelingly remarks : ** Is tho
community so prosperous that it can afford
to go on throwing such sums of money every
year out of the window, with no pretense of
any adequate return for them f *'
SATIOSAL POLICY ASD WESTERy
FIXAXCE.
Whether the Ohio Republican platform is
five or t«n degrees l>etter .than tho Demo-
cratic platform in regard to ' finance is a
question which we leave the worshipers of
expediency to discuss.. If the Sole biisincss
of party managers is to out-manoeuvro
opponents, without reference to prin-
ciple, the "plank" constructed at
Cleveland may be set down as a
dexterous piece of partisan carpentry. Tlie
material employed does not differ much
from that used a few days before at Colum-
bus. The difference is in the linish. The
rough parts are made smooth ; the comers
are rounded, and generally the thing has
a more decent look than the workmanship
of the Democracy. So much we concede.
The convention that adopted it evinced,
moreover, at least a semblance of respect
for political decency. Even Mr. Stanley
Matthews could not coa.x tho com-
mittee into a demand for the repeal of
the Resumption act and tho removal of the
only restriction upon tho legal tender quality
of greenbacks. All things considered, tliero
may be some reason for gratitude in the
escape from the infiuny which gentlemen
of the Matthews school had in reserve for the
party. On the principle of being thankful for
small mercies, we may congratulate the
party that it was not tempted to follow tho
Democratic example, and wage war to the
death against the national biknks. These,
however, are negative excellences. We
are not accustomed to sing the praises of a
man who happens not to be a s^vindlcr or a
thief, and it is not easj- to see why a propo-
sition should be applauded simply because
it might have been worse. The Ph.irisee
thanks Heaven that he is better than his
neighbor, and in the same spirit tho Ohio
Republicans are flattered with the assurance
that in tho matter of finance theyhavejnot
sunk to the level of the Democracy.
It was not on this ground that Mr. IIayes
won his laurels in Ohio, or that the Repub-
licans of that State rendered signal service
to the cause of national honesty in the
conflict with Democratic ropudiators. Thi!
question then uppermost in the party mind
was, not how best to trim and temporize
with the view of catching doubtful vote.",
but how. most effectively to "expose the
fallacies of the Greenback Parly and
prove the wisdom of good faith. The
inducements to pursue the opposite
course were as plausible then as now. The
Pendletonian plea for paj*ing the five-
twenties in greenbacks, and the Allen-
Cary nostrum for making everybody rich
by printing greenba(^ks unliiriitedly, were
not more objectionable, in principle, than
the schemes of the silver agitators. But
the Ohio Republicans met them very dif-
ferently. They did not put their hea<ls
together to find out how "near they
could come to repudiation without actually
identifying themselves with it," nor how
much of Aulen's thunder they might steal
without being detected in the act. Instead
of thus playing fast and loose with < prin-
ciple, they manfully announced their deter-
mination to stand by the right, regardless
of consequences. Appealing to the intelli-
gence and the moral sentiment of the State,
they fought the good fight with a courage
and consistency which challenged respect,
and rendered their victory one of which
the party everywhere was proud. The con-
viction then prevailed that the temporary
loss, of the State was of less importance
than the vindication of sound principle ; and
the moral strength of their position was pro- ■
digious. For every vote^ driven over to tho
Democracy they gained three fi-om the Li-
dependents, and they had the satisfaction of
knowing that their course influenced bene-
ficially the policy at Washington.
If they were right then they are wrong
now, for the plan followed at Cleveland on
Wednesday is the opposite of that which in
other days crowned them with honor and
Buc.eess. Every argument used in behalf of
the remonetization of silver is appropriated,
with slight verbal modifications, from the
armory of the Greenbackers. The ease of the
greenback is fully equal to the case of the
silver dollar. The plea for either, as an un-
limited legal tender, is a compound of in-
flation and repudiation. It is an attempt,
on one hand, to counteract the inconven-
iencies of contraction, and, on the other, to
deprive the public creditor of that which,
morally considered, is his due.- The holder
of onr national securities will, assuredly, re-
cognize no diSerenee in the immorality of
payment in silver or payment in green-
backs, of obligations which, as he under-
stands them, are pajrable only in gold. Nor
is the iniquity of the proposition lessened
by the concealment of its more repulsive
features, or by the dbsurdity of the method
employed for this purpose. The dis-
honesty of the suggestion that silver " shall
be a . legal tender for the payment of all
debts" remains, so far as the public creditor
is concerned, in spite of the proviso, "Ex-
cept where otherwise specifically provided
-for by! law," because, as every intelligent
person knows, the refunding law does not
specifically direct the paj-ment-of interest
or principal in gold. The qualifying words,
then, are mere surplusage, signifying
nothing. The same remark applies to the
stipulation that the value of gold and silver
shall te made uniform by law. Why
not say at once that legislation shall force
water lip hUl ? The effort would be as wise
and as successful as an attempt by legal
enactment to arrest the fluctuations of silver
and to import to it a value in excess of that
which it commands in the market. A reso-
lution thus crammed with absurdity can but
indicate one of two things. Either its au-
thors are ignorant of everything pertaining
to finance, and without any deliberate de-
sign to do evil- have constructed a series
of phrases that will bo as efiSca-
cious in the canvass as the shame-
less declarations of the Democracy :
or the meaningless part of the resolution
was tacked to the mischievous part under
the belief that the real nature of the latter
might be disguised. One hypothesis implies
charlatanry; the other as clearly implies the
knavery of partisanship. Neither can rec-
oncile the friends of sound finance to the
proposition nor abate tho discredit which
its adoption casts upon the convention.
We hope, therefore, that the satisfaction
which tlie j>roceeding3 of the convention
are said to have occasioned at Washington
always excepts the financial feature of the
platfoiTQ ; and thishopo rests upon the an-
tecedents of the President and his known
obedience to the dictates of duty. As the
head of the nation he cannot be more dis-
posed to compromise with the advocates of
dangerous financial heresies than as the
candidiite for a State office. The fact that
those who formerly sustained him in tho
maintenance of sound views now pay hom-
age to tho silver idol, only strengthens his
obligation as the headof theGovemment. The
Matthewses of Ohio, may consider honest
principle a minor point in the construction
of a i)arty platform, but it will not do to let
the impression exist that they are as potent
in tho Treasury as in a Cleveland Conven-
tion. In truth, their reputed relations with
the Federal Administration render more ne-
ces.sary than ever a frank and straightfor-
ward policy on the part of tho President.
Ohio may l)o lost or won, but the
national credit must be guarded with-
out reference to the contingency. To
accept the financial resolution promulgated
on Wednesday would be to play into the
hanils of a reckless faction, whose ulterior
purjioses are at variance with the public
faith and with the conditions of ri"<stablished
confidence We have in this resolution evi-
dence of the way in which the silver agita-
tion enlarges its boundaries. Emboldened
by the encouragement it has received, its
demands become broader and bolder. The
Government cannot extend to it toleration
without sharing its shame.
TSE APPLIASCES FOR QCELLIXG
j RIOTS.
The breaking out of a second series of
riots, this time in the mining regions of
Pennsylvania, again brings into the fore-
ground tho question of providing means for
the ready <iuelling of disturbances and the
securing of law and order. A striking fea-
ture of Wednesday's riot at Scranton Ls that
it was put ilown, not by Militia, but by citi-
zens, many of whom were veterans of the
civil war. Either no Militia were at hand
or any that were at hand were not called
upon. The practical collapse of tho State
Militia in Pennsylvania has revived tho sug-
gestion for the formation of a national Militia,
under tlie laws of Cou:rress. This was a
plan much pressed just after the close of
the war, partly because some such nationitl
force seenied to be needed, and partly
through admiration of the prowess shown
by tho^, Prussian Landwehr in the war of
] St56. The Garde Nationale of France was
shortly afterward remodeled on the samoplan
of a grand national Militia. In fact, some
form of national Militia prevails throughout
Central Europe, from Sweden to Switzerland.
Besides, there was authority for attempt-
ing to introduce a national Militia into the
United Slates in the words of the founders of
the Kepublic. jEKFKlt-sON argued strongly for
"an armed nation," as tho only substitute
for a great standing army. Ten years ago,
therefore, Congress took up the subject in
practical form, and two different bills were
introduced, oue in the House by a Western
member, aJid one in the Senate by the late
Vice-President Wilson, at that time Chair-
man of the Military Committee. The whole
project, however, fell to pieces, and, as we
think, very properly.
There are two objections, in fact, to main-
taining a national Militia, one of which is
legal and tho other practical. The Constitu-
tion gives to Congi'ess the power to provide
for calling forth the Militia to execute the
laws of tho Union, suppress insurrections,
and repel invasions, and also the power to
provide for organizing, arming, and discip-
lining the Militia, and for governing such
part of them as may be employed in the ser-
vice of the United States, " reserving to the
States respectively the appointment of the
officers— and the authority of training the
Militia, according to the discipline prescribed
by Congress." It is accordingly evident
that in these reserved rights of the States
are included the all-important ones of di'ill-
ing the Militia and providing officers for
them- Hence, any system for constructing
a really efficient national Militia, capable
of avoiding the faults supposed to be inhe-
rent in the present organizations, would
encounter fatal constitutional restrictions
and obstacles at the outset. In the
second place, there are practical ob-
jections to this scheme. The first
is that only at a disproportionate
expense could a national Militia be main-
tained. One leading difficulty with the
State Militia? system is that, unless by a
roundabout mustering of them into
Government service, always reluctantly re-
sorted to, they cannot be dispatched from
one State to another. Hence a State like
Pennsylvaniay for example, might find itself
a complete prey to insurrection, without
the Ohio MQitia being allowed lawfully to
go to her assistanpe. But this provision, as
we have before said, is wise and necessary,
since no Militia would be willing to
enlist under the liability to be sent
off to any one! of three dozen States. Now,
in a national Militia we should find the same
objection coming up. Very few desirable
men would consent to such a liability of
service unless they had no business to at-
tend to. The national Militia so formed
would have to go to great expenses for uni-
forms, arms, and pay, and would require
constant drill to obtain efficient troops. It
would accordingly be far cheaper to add a
few thousand! men to tlie regular Army,
whose services could bo always counted
upon. Of course, it would be possible to pro-
vide for an enforced system of national
military service, but that has always been
contrary to the feelings and the spirit of our
people, and such a law could not be passed
while the employment of professional troops
as a substitute is so easy.
Otir belief is that the existing appliances
for preserving law and order are ample,
provided that they are carefully reviewed
and improved under the light of the past
fortnight's teachings. | We have, first, tho
Police of the great cities, and the Sheriff's
posse in the coiinties. The former may
well be called experts I in dealing with riots.
It would seem desirable to make provision
for instantly increasing the local Police
force to double pr trel;ile its size by having
lists ready of men who can be called upon
at once — men who have had experience in
police duty, and who are sober, brave, dis-
creet, and trustwbrthyj whose residences are
known, and:who ' are iilways at call. After
these comes thejbodyof citizens generally,
and this contains | a mo.st valuable
element in the ex-volunteers who have seen
service in actual i war.
Their surviving or-
ganizations! and isocieties of various kinds
should be regarded with more interest than
heretofore, in view of i their possible useful-
ness in protecting the community from mob
rule. Then wo come to the volunteer mili-
tia system, which, in many States, palpably
needs most: thoroughi reorganizing. Xew-
York stands at the very head of the volun-
teer Militia^ in -point 'of general efficiency,
and may be said to show how far au ex-
ceptionally good orgaitizatiou can overcome
inherent defects in 8)i|tem. Even with us,
the serious duties to which the militiaman
is liable must henceforth be made the chief
object of attention, instead of good-fellow-
ship and showy parade. Finally, we have
the regular .Vrmy, which must be kept at
such strength henceforth that this, which
is the only force now existing in the nation
that can bejiustantly dispatched to a threat-
ened point without regard to the liraitatiou
of State lines, shall be sufficient to give a
sense of seeuritv to the people, and cause
the lawle.ss to hesitate before breaking into
insurrection.

^.V AFFAIR OF HOXOR,
The Russian defeat in Bulgaria, Chief
Joseph's escape Ifrom Gen. Uow.\Ri>,and the
, railroad rebellion were all lost sight of yes-
terday, when it was noised abroad that
" Jay GoftD had got licked." That a man
who represents at least one hundred million
dollars and a leading American newspaper
should have been soundly walloped seemed
too good to be true. -A,s the news spread,
there was a ' general feeling of re-
gret— that the walloping had been
so private. Everybody who ever lost
money in Wall-street wished that
he had seen the fight. It is not
every day that oue can gaze on a
hundred million doUiirs being held up by
the nape of its neck while its head is being
punched. To see so much money dropped,
like a wet hen, into a barber's window
would afford a new joy to the bhis^ youth
who frequent the Stock E.whange. iVnd it
is credibly reported that when the repre-
sentative of one hunilred millions and a
leading American newspaper went over the
i-ailings, with its head punched, only a few
favored persons were on the spot to enjoy
the spectacle. Several athletic yoi^ig
brokers, who thiis lost au opportunity to
save the great financier ami get a good cus-
tomer, bewail their hard luck.
E.\actly how personal cast igation can com-
pensate one's losses iu the stock market is
not clear. In this case, it appears that Jay
Gould agreed, or is alleged to have agreed,
to parry out a certain programme iu buying
an<i selling stocks. That he did not do as
he agreed, is also alleged. There seems to
have been in the breasts of the guileless
Califoniians to whom the alleged promise
wasniadeVan infatuated belief in the good
faith of GoL'LD. This may seem incredible,
but unless this affair has been mis-reported,
the Califomians who, of com-se, know
everything, or think they know evcrthiug,
actually expected Jay Goild to do
what he agreed to do. We need not say to
the intelligent reader that the unsophisti-
cated strangers from the Pacific were unde-
ceived, and that their experience with
Gould was costly and instructive. But tho
punishment inflicted upon the person of
Gould, we submit, in the interest of our
common humanity, is entirely disproportion-
ate to the alleged offense. If Mr. Daniel
Drew, or Mr. .Sage, or Mr. D; D. Field, or
any other gentleman of conspicuous probity
of character had " gone back on his word''
with Messr^. Selover and Keene, the pro-
vocation would have been great. But that
the Califomians should object to Jay
Gould's breaking faith, and make
that a • cause of war, is surprising.
If reprisals like this are to be coun-
tenanced, Mr. Jay Gould will be
hung up by the nape of the neck and puni-
meled by indignant stock operators from
January to December. As Gould is popu-
larly known as a bear, wo trust that the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals will interfere to stop such a cruel
and unusuarpunishment. Let the intelligent
reader conceive, if he can, of all the
victims of Jay Gould's economy of truth
treating him after the Selover manner.
Fancy the wreck of manhood which would
survive when the indignation of mankind
had expended itself by holding Gould in
the air with one hand while he was duly
pounded by the |Other hand.
Some four yeals ago, a Mr. Maeri jj had a
grievance with Gould, which was precisely
like that which awoke the ^Tath of Selover.
On that occsision Marrin flattened the nose
of Gould to an extent which was judicially
determined to damage bim jjx the amount of
lk\,/'
$200. Marrdt, strange as it may seem, al-
leged as an excuse for his assault on GtoULD's
nose that that eminent financier had "refused
to fulfill his honorable pledges." These
two attacks on an operator who
has gained considerable celebrity for
not keeping his word will, of
course, constitute legal precedents in Wall-
street. In the first place, custom, which is
more influential than written statutes, will
prescribe that a man who has the worst of
a stock operation shall maid his successful
antagonist. It will be Stock Exchange eti-
quette for the loser to lift the winner
by the nape of his neck, and hav-
ing abraded his nose ^ and ears, to
drop him into an area, where he
can be picked up and repaired by a friendly
barber. Next, it must be insisted upon
that the value of Jay GouT/D's nose hav-
ing been legally fixed at $200, the dam-
ages on this occasion mu-st be assessed
accordingly. A surgical survey will de-
termine how far tho abrasions, contusions,
and extravasations inflicted by Selover
exceed in extent those which resulted
from the assault of Marrdt. The previous
ease evidently constitutes a legal, as wdll as
moral, precedent for the present one. And
in determining the question of damages, the
courts, happily, have a basis of valuation
as definite as if the books recorded it thus :
" One Gould nose mashed. $200." Here-
after, we shall get on without needless con-
fusion. An operator who is " too smart "
maybe soundly walloped. Damages are as-
sessable on the basis of Jay Gould's nose as
flattened in 1873.
A TEST OF EXDCRAXCE.
The receiit events of the war recall the
Iron Duke's words at Waterloo : " Hard
pounding, gentlemen — we shall see who will
pound the longest." A constant succession
of. bloody encounters, at Rustchuk, Silistria,
Yeni-Saghra, Ple\iia, and Rasgrad, have
compressed into three weeks the havoc of
an entire campaign ; and the great battle
in which the third attack on Plevna has just
cuhninated, though doubtless exaggerated
by rumor, has evidently been the most
murderous of all. And wheii to the casual-
ties of war we superadd those of
dise.ise, hunger, fatigue, lack of shelter,
defective surgery, and want of proper
care, we need not wonder at
the visible signs of exhaustion shown by
both combatants. Of the reinforcements
hastily ordered up frow Constantinople,
nearly one-half appear to be raw levies,' au
ominous symptom at this early stage of the
war. On the other hand, the Russians have
recently called out their reserves, and , are
endeavoring to supply the gap in their
mnster-roll by the formation of two fresh
army corps, with a combined strength of
sO.OOU men — a sufficient proof of the fear-
ful drain already made upon their military
strength, vast as it is.
It should be remembered, however, that
the actual consumption of life on the battle-
field or in the hospital is but a part of the
deduction which must be made from the
strength of both combatants. Of the seven
corps composing the Turkish Army, at least
two are constantly employed iu keeping
down the chronic insubordiniition of the
provinces ; and now, with Crete violently
disaffected, Thessaly hardly kept back by
Greece from open revolt, and Greece herself
holding menacing language, the added diffi-
culties of the situation are neither few nor
slight. Nor is Russia more fortunate than
her rival. Out of her peace establishment
of 1,173.879 men, she has to maintain
163,759 in the Caucasus, 22,294 in Cen-
tral ;Vsia, 11,044 in Western and 14.S10
in Ea.sleni Siberia, and 6,288 in tho Oren-
burg District, on the Asiatic frontier — to all
of which must now be added a large " army
of observation" in the uuhealthy re-
gions of Western Poland, where 30,000
men perished by disease in the Summer
of 1654. without seeing the face of au en-
emy. The present military strength of Rus-
sia, on its war footing, is 50,275 officers
and 1,771,387 rank and file, iu addition to
which, and to the reserves just called out,
she has still one final resource iu tho
*' Xarodnoii Opoltchenie," or levee-en-masse,
which \-irtually puts into tho ranks everv
man capable of bearing arins. This is so
extreme a measure as to have been adopted
only twice in the present century — during
the great crisis of 1812 and just before the
death of the Emperor Nichol.a,s, in 1855 ;
but sh<mld the war continue long on its
present scale of unsparing carnage, it is
possible that the "national armament" may
yet be found necessary once more.
TBE MW SUMMER IXFAST.
The Jime-bug has departed. The meas-
uring-worm, which rudely undertakes to
satisfy its insatiable curiosity as to the
immber of square inches coutai ned iu the
masculine coat and the feminine skirt, has
finished its geometric labors, and has
ah'eady made its August appearance in the
thin disguise of a moth. These and other
.Summer nuisances have passed away, but the
season when our parks and streets are in-
fested with babies is just now at its very
height.
The common domestic baby (infans do-,
meslicus) is well known to all naturalists,
and is almost as popular among women as a
household pet as is the Skye terrier. LiN-
s.EUS supposed that he had recognized sev-
eral distinct species of babies, but the best
modern authorities hold that he mistook the
various stages of development through which
the baby passes for so many different spe-
cies, just as in still earlier days the caterpil-
lar and the butterfly were supposed to be
entirely different insects. In its earliest
stage the baby is either held in the arms of
a small girl or a larger nurse, or else it
is left to wallow on the grass of the
parks or on the street pavements. When
it passes from this larva state and takes to
itself wheels, in connection with a baby
wagon, it flits from path to path, and fre-
quently travels over miles of pavement.
Whatever may be its age, it has a fondness
for the neighborhood of foimtains and for
the cool shade of trees. This fact may be
easily verified by the slightest o'oservation.
During the Summer aftemopns the foun-
tains in Madison and Union squares are so
thickly infested with babies as to be almost
unapproachable, while under every tree
that casts a shadow upon the pavement the
ground is fairly alive with crawling infants.
Among the most noticeable qnalities of the
infant ai-e the wonderful strength- of its
various parts, and its remarkable vitality.
If a grasshopper or other small insect with
abundant legs be seized and lifted by one of
them, the leg immediately breaks loose and
the insect escapes. The human infant, on
the contrary, is often suspended by one arm,
and even dragged long distances, while its
nurse is earnestly conversing with a male
friend. No instance has yet been known of
the arm giving way nnder such circum-
stances, and it is believed that the infantile
leg is at least equally strong. Infants are
daily to be seen lying head downward across
a nurse's lap, or dangling over the back of a
bench in a position that suggests apoplexj',
suffocation, and other fatal results.
These infants, however, always ex-
hibit unimpau'ed vigor when replaced in
a natural position, and will promptly swal-
low marbles, small pebbles, or any other
food which may be given to them. It
should also be rhentioned that, although the
infant greatly prefers the shade, it does not
seriously suffer from exposure to the sun.
Indeed, it is a matter of every -day occurrence
to find infants strapped tightly in carriages
and left for hours to the direct rays of the
sun. Usually they betray uneasiness, but
when the nurse's attention is attracted to
them, and they are violently sha'ien, they
seem to regain their usual strength and
spirits.
It may be safely said that the infant is hot
dangerous, except in rare and peculiar cir-
cumstances. It is perhaps the part of pru-
dence for a man to decline to hold a baby of
very tender years, but no baby, when firmly
giasped with both hands and held at arm's
length, need be dreaded, especially if care is
taken - to hold it upside do%vn. The
wheeled infant, however, does occasional-
ly inflict injuries more or less se-
rious upon unwary people. An infant
of this sort is sometimes violently
wheeled against old gentlemen who are in-
cautiously walking in localities infested
with babies, and in some cases the victim
has actually fallen backward upon the in-
fant, and sustained fractures and abrasions
cf a really distressing nature. These in-
juries, however, ought not to be directly
ascribed to the infants themseU'es. but are
rather the fault of nurses, who will persist
in blindly wheeling infants while at the
same time watching over their own shoul-
ders the retreating forms of eligible young
men. Still, no such accidents could occur
in regions where babies are unknown, and
this fact cannot be ignored or misinter-
preted.
To those who hotly urge the immediate
extii-pation of babies from the public streets,
or the pa-ssage of an ordinance authorizing
the summary suppression of all unmuzzled
infants who are not carried in their nurse's
arms, it should be said that these extreme
measures do not seem to be as yet justifi-
able. There is no doubt that those persons
who have shade trees in front of their
houses do suffer much inconvenience from
the swarms of infants who infest those trees
during Midsummer. The attempts at con-
versation and at public oratory made by
babies of less than thi'ee years of age are as
ill-judged and unsatisfactory as the attempts
at singing made by the injudicious hen. and
the man who constantly fijids from six to
twelve infants congregated under his
shade' trees, and vieing with one
another in efforts to express their
views upon public and private topics,
naturally feels inclined to take stern and
decisive measures. It would, however, be
impolitic to perihit the killing of infants by
private citizens other than regular medical
practitioners, and it is doubtful if public
sentiment would support the appointment
of official infant-slayers. There are many
persons who have a strong liking for in-
fants, and who place upon them quite as
high a value as dog-fanciers place upon
their canine pets- Moreover, the law has
recognized the right of property in infants,
if not from time immemorial, at
least from . the time of the cel-
ebrated partition suit decided by Solomox
Justice, in the Hebrew Court of Appeals.
Instead of proceeding at once to extermina-
tion, it would be well to attempt to regulate
the e^il and to bring it within tolerable
limits. If the owner of a sidewalk shade-
tree were to display conspicuously the
warning, " Post no infants under this tree."
his wishes would probably be respected, es-
pecially if he were to agree to keep beer on
draught under his front steps, where the
local policeman could readily find it. If an
ordinance were to be passed requiring all
infants to be licensed and muzzled; for-
bidding the more dangerous wheeled in-
fants to infest the sidewalk except in certain
specified parts of the city ; and punishing
any violations of tiiis ordnance with imme-
diate confiscation of the offending infant,
much good might be done.

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

that her Majesty declined to accept it- Never-

gets at a piece of news of this kind by instiuct,
aiid it is certain thai the most trilling
circumstances often indicate with unerriag cer-
tainty -the coming on of great events. It is .
quite possible that the Earl means to make sev-
eral appointments before the se.<sion closes, and
that his long and charming explanation in re-
gard to Pigott is intended to cover some other
promotions, which will si gnaliz<; tlie closing
months of the Premiership. Uis representa-

Althoufifh we are now only in the middle of
July, the 'prorogation of Parliament \^ talked
about, and the "slaughter of the innocents,"
as the postponement or lapsing of bills is
caUed, has already begun. A vote of credit
for £2.000.000 or more will be asked for to
meet possible military and naval contingencies
before the session is brou^rht to a close. An-
other important matter will be put fairly in
train between now and prorogation, a commis-
sion to inquire into the case of the suicide of a
pupil of Christ's Hospital School, through the
sieged tyranny oi one of the monitors. The
Recorder of Liondon. Sir. Walter, M. P., (pro-
Sriotor of the Times,) ^ and Mr. Forster, M. P..
[r. Walpole, 31. P., and the Dean of Christ
Church will be the Commissioners. They are
to sit with closed doors : but their report will
form the subject of a Blue Book. The monito-
rial punishments, the "faeging," and big-boy
tyrannies of our public schools are a disgrace to
our scholastic system, and if the poor little stii-
cide of Christ Church brings about a re-
form in this direction, his martyrdom
will prove as blessed a sacrifice as it is
melancholy and sad. American students
of Charles Lamb, with the mention of Christ's
Hospital, will recall his description of the hard
life of a biuivcuat boy in his day. Thej- have
' no doubt, with thousands of cultivated English
readers lon-r sineo eoTue to the conclusion that,
like Dntliob'tys Hall, of Dickens, the gloom
of Christ's Hospital has passed away. I fear it
is not so. Every fev,- years "tunding" and
*■ fagging" and other barbarities practiced at
Winchester. Wesimioster. Eton, and Marl-
boroua:h crop up : but the general desire to
stand by authoriry in England eventually leaves
the mattc-r in the hands of the mastt-rs of the
coUeses and sch{K>ls, aud bullying and beating
go on. Tiiore is one establishment, however.
. where all iKis is abolished. The King's College
Schools :'.re frt-e t'roru these blighting relics of
barbarism. With regard to Christ's Hospital.

The condilieiQ of the Church of England con-
tinues to icive good men serious causes of
anxiety, llie Priest in Abaolution has created a
scandal that will be a long and lasting sore.
The bofjk. it turns out. is an adaptation of a
French Roman Catholic handbook of the priest-
hood. A correspondent writes to one of the
journals to say that Rev. >lr. Willacy, of Man-
chestt-r. calling himself a "mission priest/*
held a wet-k ;= services at Clay Cross, in Derby-
shire, and in a sermon "delivered to men
only.*' stated that ''he had it on the authority
of the prif-.--t.s, wt-U able to judge and form an
opinion, that only one man in seven was pure in
word and thAu-.riit. and only one woman in thir-
teen." " Where coidd the authorities/' asks the

3kot a wf-ek passes that does not bring to light
i*ome Tif'v combination of clergymen for
the T'ur^ioso of obtaining an unfair
ascentlency over the souls and actions
of tlK-irconsregations. The Ridsdale judgment
luis ritttrted the F'-'lkestone ritualists on the riffht
track at- last. Tweuty-two worshipers at Mr.
jttidsdale's church have gone over to the Church
of Rome, and a crowd of other converts are
about to be received into ''the Holy Roman
.Church." A man mimed Elliott the other day
jbroke into New Cross Church and destroyed the
confessinual-bos. He "was arrested in the act.
^nd will, of course, bo published ; but thousands
'of Prott"*:ants tt\-inpathize with him. and he
]wiil posjiibly lose nothing by his daring and
jillegalact. The clergyman who used the con-
tfessional-byx should share Elliott's prison.

volved in ilie ?;windlini< of Muie. De Goucourt

themselves ** sworn book-makers." The case
has been before the magistrates for many

but that when taken they were parties
to a concerted plan of escape from prison aud
from justice. Mr. Frogatt. a .lawyer, is also
charged with being implicated with the detec-
tivesl but he is allowed to be at large on bail.
The others sto->d in the dock on Wednesday.
when the caKf was opened against them. It is
a complicated story, full of mysterious tcde-
grams, letters, appointments, and Police slang,
but the pith of it is that these officers were
bribed (and the money is traced) in large suras
to assist the swindlers to evade detection, and
that the officers were in active collusion to-
gether for this purpose. The case is exciting
profound anxiety, for Dniscovitch more
particularly has been concerned in the
principal Police cases of London for
over 22 years, and the other men are tested
officers. whi*se oaths have been taken and acted
•npon in many a !*erious transaction. Charges
of tyranny, black -mailing, and injustice have
been made against the Police for years, but
supported by each other and favored by the
magistracy as public ser\"ants with difficult du-
ties to perfurm. they have generally defeated
any acti-Jtis aj^:itist them. Whether these men
ure found txiilxy or not. the public confidence is

Perhaps. Sir John Bennett's election as an Al-
derman was contested, as I explained. Whether
it was confirmed or not, I stated that the Board
of Aidertoen would decline to admit him to
'their chamber. The Recorder of London, on a
serutiny. declared Sir John elected, though it
was proved that his majority was obtained by a
number of votes being created at the last mo-
ment l)y several men renting the same offices,
and all giving separate votes for the same place.
The Board of Aldermen, in spite of the Re-
* oorder's decision, refuse to admit him to their
court. They have, it is said, the power to do so
under their charter. The question is a curious
and au intiTestiog one. and is talked about and
discussed in the city with great rancor on both
fidesi.
'Mjc, Ernest Griset, an artist, whose boolt illus-
trations are no doubt as well known in the
States as in England, has had a pleasant sensa-
tion. The papers announced his death. Art
critics and others discussed his professional

man, and kindly of the artist. Griset has read
their articles with great interest He is alive

▲t the end of the present lease, which expires,
I believe, at Easter, next year, Mr. Chatterton,
it is said, intends to retire from the manage-
ment of Dmry I^ne ; and it is possible that he
may also give up the Princess*. The Autumn
season will open at the national theatre -with a
romantic drama by Wills, founded on Peveril
of the Pmkj which is to run until Christmas,
after which ^e pantomime is to exhaust Mr.
Chatterton's tenure. Mr. E. L. Blanchard is
writing another Summer pantomime for tho
Adelphj. - The whole of the performers are
to be children. It will be remembered that
Mr. Chatterton ran his children's panto-
mime of last year up to the Summer season, in 1
with very satisfactoiT^ results. *■ Jir. Wills'
dramatlo version of Scott will be in blank
verse. The late Mr. Andrew Hd5hdav*3 greatest
successes as an adapter for Drury Lane were
his studies of the great Scotchman's historical
romances. Mr. Halliday was a Northerner
himself, and had an amount of practical knowl-
edge of stagecraft which Mr. Wills does not
possess. I question If the new hand will be
as successful in arranging theatricalpictures
fbr Drury Lane as Halliday was ] Wills wiU
exhaust himself in the dialogue. His blank
verse will be fine. Bat as the pit aud gallery
hear very little of what the artists
say, tho action, situation3, and tab-
leaux are of more importance than
the dialogue. Mr. Wills will turn a beauti-
ful prose story into a dramatic poem. Halliilay
would have turned it into a play. It is proba-
ble that Italian opera will come back to Drury
Lane next year. The new house on the Thames
Embankment does not progress ; and Mr. Ma-
pleson now finds himself between three stools,
for he has the choice of Her Slajesty's, Drury
Lane, and the chance of the new house at West-
minster being finished, for several noble capi-
talists are said to be nibbling at the financial
bait oflTered for the capital necessary for com-
pletion.
The last operatic novelty of the season was
tho production at the Covent Garden hoijse of
*'Le Vespe Comari di Windsor," an Italian ver-
sion of Nicolai's opera, " Die LUstigen Weiber
von Windsor." A version pf the saniework was
performed at Her Majesty's in 1S64, under tho
title of •' Le Spose Aliegre di Windsor." It was
not successfuL The new adaptation, however,
was received ^s^th considerable favor, and it has
been repeated during the week. The libretto is
written by Mr. Mosenthal, whose drama of
** Leah*' is well known on both sides of the At-
lantic. Bidfe's treatment of Shakespeare's lively
work is a more popular view of it than that
adopted by Mosenthal and Xicolai ; biit none of
the operatic illustrations of Shakespeare are
particularly successfid. For example. Arabroise
Thomas' "Hamlet" was done on Wednesday
night. It reduced the treasury receipts, and
gave no special satisfaction to the audience.
Thursdav night, however, made up for tho
double disappointment. Patti played Marguerite
and Nicolini I'aust. On Thursday night the
admirers of Albani crowded the theatre to en-
joy her Lucia, Gayarr6 playing Edgardo. To-
night closes Mr. Gye's successful and notable
season. The programme is **Aida." \rith Patti
as AXfla and Xicolini as Hadam^s. At Her
Majesty's, the subscription season is announced
to end on July 24, and the opera-house will
close on the 28th. Nilsson continues to be a
sure and certain draw wherever she appears. I
recently had an opportunity of comparing her
Marguerite with that of the rival artist atCovent
Garden, and there can be iw doubt abtrot tho
higher qualities of Patti's performance. Nilsson
is too self-conscious. She Is always Nilsson,
and always charming ; but Patti is an
actress, and she is frequently the char-
acter she represents, ' and when that
character is Juliet or Marguerite, she combines
the fascination of the poet's conception with
her own personal charms and artistic graces.
"To-day Mr. Mapleson. the enterprising impre-
sario, takes his benefit at the Crystal Palace,
which is selected for the purpose in order that
his friends may have room enough to make the

and ihe programme is specially attractive. Jlr.
Mapleson's efforts in the interest of operatic art
deserv^e recognition, and the names of his royal

band will be sure to make ti>day memorablo in
the season's doings at the Palace.

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

MEETIXG OP DISSATISFIED VOTERS OP THE
FIFTEENTH ASSEjItBLT DISTRICT — BE-
MABKS OF THE SPEAKERS.
A considerable number of Republicans of the
Fifteenth Assembly !I)L«tri|ct, who claim that they
were illegally prevented from voting at the recent
primary election of the District Association, met last
evening at No. 353 West Thirty-fifthstreet, to pro-
test, in the lang^iage of the call, "against
Henry G. Leask's arbitrary ruling," on
that occasion. Mr. Winiam H. Montgomery,
President of the Republican Club, which Mr. Leask
regards as a rival organization, presided. At the
opening of the proceedings, Mr. Montgomery said
that he wished to haye it distinctly understood that
the meeting was not that of a new association in op-
position to the regular one. It was a meeting of a
EepubUcan club and members of the regular associa-
tion, who were dissatisfied with its management and
wanted a change. | ■ '
Mr. "William Miller referred at some length to his
protest agidnst tho legality of the election, at the
close of the primarj- election. He claimed that the
laws of tho Central i Committee governing primary
elections had been grossly violated. Capt. Charles
J. Farley, who avowed himself to be an
officer in the j "Independent Republican]'
organization, made a'sneech denouncing the Republi-
can Central Committee. A committee of this latter
body, he said, had reorganized the district associa-
tion in lS7-t. and through its instrumentality men
were made members! whu had no right to be placed
upon tlie roll After this reorganization Mr.
Lensk was elected President. There could
bo no justice obtained, he said, from the
Central Committee,! and' ho then went on to
inform those present, of the influence and aims of the
''Independent Republican" organization, and the
" reform " in Republican politics which was proposed
to be brought about by a contest which he and other
"Independents" were engaged in with the State
Committee. His remprks were received quietly by
the respectable portion of the a.<!Bemblage, and were
greeted with noisy approval by the rou^lier element.
Mr. .Miller was satisfied that the Central Commit-"
tee would act fairly tb all parties when it was purged
of office-holders. |Mr. A. V. Caufield. who
was elected Ftr^t Vice-President of the
regular association at the rt*cent primary,
after paying a hiah compliment to President Haves,
said he had not sought the office to which he had
been elected. He concluded his remarks by .«!aying
that he hoped to see the ir-fubles in the association
amicably settled, and everybody in the district cor-
dially co-operating at the next election for the suc-
cess of the Republican Party, ilr. Caufield was in-
ten-npted with a few cries of *' Xo. Sir ! No. Sir!"
at this stage of his speech, but hisview.s sefracd to
be well received by the majority. On motion of Mr.
Christian F. Tietjen. a committee of five was ap-
pointed to wait upon Mr.' Henrj- G. Leask and de-
mand of him the privilege of examining the roll of
members of the District Association. aft*r which
the meeting adjourned. The committee appointed
consists of C. F. Tietjen, William Burtis, Isaac I.
Siskiuc, and John M^ Fisher.
CAPT. WADDELL S EESTOIiATIOy.
San Frauci.*?co papers say that the revisory
investigation by Mr. Bemls, Supervising Inspector,
into tho loss of the Pacific Mail steam-ship City of
San Francisco, ha.s resulted in the following letter
being sent to Capt. James I. WadJell :
S.AN FftAXCLsro. July 2-1. 1877.
Tu Capt. James I. Waddell, J!ian FraricUco. Gal.
Sir : Upon your appeal of Juno li2, 1.S77, to me,
as Supervising Inspectur, from the decision of tho
Local Board of Inspeftors, in tho matter of the loss
of the steam-ship City of San Francisco, suspending
your license as master of steam vessels, I h:».-e duly
inve.stigated the case, and in consideiation of the
convincing testimony sworn to by masters and offi-
cers included in thi.^ investigation, now. by authority
of section 4.4511, Revised Statutes of the Unitell
Siates. I hereby chaneo the decision of the Local
Board, and this date restore to you your licensees
master pilot of sieam vessel.". Vei^' respectfullv, '
CHARLfiS C. BEMIS.
Supervising Inspector, First District, San Francisco.
The papers of that citv also print tho following
card from Capt. WaddeU ;
A thorough investigation has demonstrated that
the loss of the steam-ship City of Sun Francisco was
not occasioned by any fault of her commander, her
officers, or crew. The position of the shoal ou which
the vessel struck is established bv overwhelming
evidence to be several miles outside of the Tartar
ShoaL This is conceded by the l>ocal Inspectors who
suspended the eoimnanders license. Theo- reason
given is, that he ran his vessel too near the shore. In
view of the fact that he was in the track pursued by
all the company's steam-ships for the last 28 years,
and in strict conformity to the printed sailing direc-
tions, and where his books and his chart gave him a
right to be, the actiorf of the Local Inspectors is in-
defensible. On an appeal, the Supernsmg Inspector
has revoked the finding of the Local Inspectors, aud
restored to the commander his license.

Mr. A. J. Plumb seconded the adoption of the
resolutions in a vigorous speech, in the course of
which he said that the pl:;tfunn on which President
Hayes was nominated was not a meaningless string
of re.tolutions thrown out fur no other purjioso than
to catch vote.1. It was a statement of policy
which meant something ; the President was honestly
endeavoring to carry it out, and ho deseni-ed the
warm support of all good men. Reconciliation and
hannony amon^ the differcjit sections of tho country
Were ''ailed fur in that platform, Rnd the Presi4leiit
was bringinc th''n\ about : reform of th<.'<^-ivi] sor^Mee
WHS calWd tor. and tho Prt-sident was dnim; his best
lu tliat end. It had seeiuedgootl to him to urder limt
t>niee-hoUlers should Take no part In polities, and ho
[tlie speaker] had only to obev that tinier, which he
did cheerfully, but the I'tvsident left to him tJie
ri;;hl of sin.ei-h and of Bu;;sestion : and as it was
rerHiin that Tammanv H«ll would go into tho
ti;rhc this Fall fufly armed and eonipped
with oflice-holders and money, loo, he [Mr. I'lnnih)
sliotilu at li later lime su;r;^ejit' that ftin<is ln' raistnl
on, the Republiean side by havinc lectures in every
district in the City, to which the best speakers in the
countrj- should bo invited, and admission be lixed at ■
$1 a head. If office -holders and others wished
to take 15 or '<10 tickets each to distribute amon^; '
their friends tiiey could do so. and in tiiis way the
necessary ex]»enses of the cRmiiaiitn eoald be de-
frayed. Mr. Plumb concluded with an earnest plea
in favor of having a combiuMi ion ticket this Fall ns
th'f b<*st and only way of defeating Tammany. [Ap-
plause.]
At the concliriion of Mr. Plumb's remark.s tho
resolntions were adopted unanimuusly.
The rysiiinalions of those officers of the association
who helJ Federal offices were then read by the Sec-
retary-^ There were 18 all told, and as this seemed a
lanreiiumht^r. it was stated hv way of explanation
thatthe association 11 umbered over 570 members,
and the Ketnihlicau vote of the district was over
1,500. while the larger numl)er of " oftiee-holders "
held such places a.s letter-carriers and tho like small
positions. The resigualjoas- were, on motion, ac-
cepted. " with recrret," aiuJ it was so entered on tho
muiutes. One or two members snifl that in tho Niue-
teentit Assembly District there had never been any
discussions between the few members whu iield offices

THE ELLIS IMPEACHMENT TBIAL.
PBOGRESS OF THE CASE BEFORE THE SENATE
AT SARATOGA — ^VTITNESSES EXAMINED
YESTERDAY.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 2.— The Senate
this morning examined Marcus T. Hunt, Dep-
uty Attorney-General, who said he put the
word "settled " on the register of the suit com-
menced against the People's Bank, t^stdfled to
some days since ; did so on the general under-
standing that the Trustees wotild put up secu-
rities ; did not remember being instructed by
EUis.,
Lemuel Clart, book-keeper of the XK)aners'
Bank and of the Receiver, was called. Mr.
Chapman objected to bis testimony. The ques-
tion was more whether Ellis could enforce the
law to make this bank report than whether he
was negligent. He finally withdrew his objec-
tion, and the examination went on. Witness
said the bank had large transactions with the
Continental Life Insurance Company, pledging
$201,000 worth of railroad bonds and stocks
for $45,000. On his cross-examination he
said he saw a man called an Examiner in the
bank several times ; never remember seeing
him at the bank, or hearing that he had been
there, for the purpose of testing his power over
the bank.
To Senator Woodin— Understood the bank
failed because of trouble among the Trustees ;
they proposed to sell the charter.
To Senator Prince— They expected to receive
$150,000 for the charter on account of the ex-
traordinary "privileges it contained : it was a
large pawnbroking establishment. The prose-
cution produced the opinion of Williana. Tracy,
heretofore referred to. The witness identified
it, and read from it that Tracy did not consider
the Loaners' Bank subject tb chapter 32-i of
the Laws of 1874.
Mr. Warner, general clerk in the Bank Depart-
ment, testified that a commission was issued to
Reid as Bank Examiner, March 31. 1876 ; it
was returned May VJ, with a note that the bank
refused to be examined ; the commission, which
was mi.ssed from the file of the department has
since been produced before the Senate Commit-
tee.
. To Mr. McGuire — The commission is a
printed form aud can be duplicated.
Deputy Superintendent Lamb produced the
semi-annual report of the German Savings Bank
at Morrisania, dated Jan. 1. 1875, showing an
excess of assets amounting to $27,352 81. On
April 24. 1S75, Mr. Reid made a special exam-
ination, and found a deficiency of $77,214 08 ;
a difference in the estimated value of town
bonds and railrpad stocks caused this ; on Dec.
25. 1875, Ellis notified the Trustees that the
deficiency must be made up; on Jan. 1. 1870,
the bank reported an excess of $11,887. and
on Jan. 1. 187/, an excess of $12.091 ; a com-
mittee of Trustees came up during tho latter
part of February. 1877, and had an in-
tur\nfc;v.* with El'lLs ; don't know what bo
said ; a letter from Hall, attorney for the
bank, Jan. '6, 1870, said they had put iu

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

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

a-'^ nHturnily as water runs down hill. Every Demo-

ALTEHTya THE CATTLE SSASDS.
A letter from Lawrence, Texas, to the Cincin-
nati Oazetle says : " By a late law of Texas all rail-
road companies are held accountable if they ship any
Btodi without ha\*ing it previously inspected and the
brand recorded ; so that it is simply iinpossible for
any one to ship ofT another's cattle 'without leaving a
public record of his fraud upon the books of the in-;
PX>octor, which are subject to examination by any
concerned. As the brand is the only evidence here
of ownership, tliis becomes a very important matter
to the stock man, and it not infrequently happens
that calves found without its imprint at once receive
It, although the dam bears the brand of some one
else. ,,The Intense desire for a rapid increase of stock
led to this practice more frequently in the past than
it does at present; not that the greed of man-
kind has diminished, but because the oppor-
tu^ties of detection have increased. It mattered
but little formerly how manv or how few cattle any
one owned, they incaeased Just in proportion to the
closeness with which ho attended to oranding. A
story in illustration of this Is told of a mover who
was crossing tho State some years ago, in his covered
wagon drawn by a single yoke of oxen. One of these
died m the way. and being unable to proceed on ac-
count of it, he determined to go into stock raising
then and there. A branding-iron was according-
ly procured, the remaining 01 branded and
turned out, and bo prolific did lie prove (with
the aid of the iron) that in a few years that
individual had a l&i^ and rapidly Increasing herd of
cattle, unpromising as his start mi:;ht liave appeared
to tlie uninitiated. At the close of the war this
country offered ample opportunities tor the exercise
of such proclivities, and man j' a one availed himself
of them. While the men were absent in the Army
the cattle went on increasing, and there was no one
left, or at least few, to keep them branded. As a
consequence, the close of the war found the conutrj'
ftill of unbranded cattle, which the law presumed
belonged to no one. and all had an equal right to
them. Then it was that those of enterprise, whether
they had ever owned any cattle or not, heated their
branding irons, aud entered riglit heartily into the
work of laying the foundation of a future compe-
tence. Many succeeded, and amassed fortunes upon
the foundation built by such questionable means.
Not only branding unbranded stock belonging to
others, but mutilating and altering existing brands,
is yet practiced to some extent in different parts of
the State. For example, several thousand head bear-
ing the brand H. L C. were in one case driven off in
H. T. G.; the Cbeing chained to O. he was enabled to
hold thetn, althon^ they returned to their old misv
and were recognized by their rightful owdov, but A
could not be proved that the brand had been •* -
as the new completely covered np the oM,"
TSB COXNECTICrT TOBACCO CROP.
The Hartford Post of July 31 says : " Tim
crop of torncoo for last year along the Conueetlcat
Valley is mostly sold, and il is expected that businPA
will now be dtill till the new crop comes into market.
A ^- eat deal of the 1 .S75 crop has had to nndergo the
sweating process while held by the bn vers and be-
fore manufacture, which has not happened previously,
that year's growth proving remarkably light oolored,
while the manufacturers now pre^r a dark le<Kf .
In the process of re^weaiing the tobacco is all taken
from the cases, . moisten»*d ih'Tmnghly as it Js piled
up, and then allowed to lie for six or eight weeks,
during which time It attjuns a great beat and be-
comes much darkened in color. This year's crop
promises to be a good deal better than last ye«r'a,
though the acreage is smaller, especially in the Con-
necticut part of tlie valley. The 2us);achiisetts
acreage is about the same as last year, and the hfil
towns where tlie crop proved unprofftable ha%'iiiggono
out of the business some time ago. while the best
Cwers in the vallev towns hav^ kept on about as be*
9 the collapse. The first of the present crop wiH
be cut in less than a month.'*
TSE TIDAL. Ti AVE.
The Honolulu G^iseftf says: "Fpoth papera
brought np by the mail steamer last week we learn
that the great earthquake wave of May 10 was feli
on the New-Zealand and Australian coasts. The dis-
ttirbanco wn.s first noticed about 7 o'clock on the
morning of Friday. May 1^. and continued thfoneb
the day. In »om e of the l«ys it rose as much as I'Z
feet, eoverin;? wbar\cs. and leaving small craft
stranded on the shore, but uo serious damage is re-
ported. Tho apparent difference of one day bet^^en
the time of the wave at the Colrnies aud here is ow-
ing to the fact of those countries beiujc on the othei
side of the l^Oih decree of longitude, and eonse-
Suently the wave reached those coasts la reality <NI
ttd same day that it reached Hawaii. "

HEAT IN THE STEEPLE-CHASE — VERA
CRCZ ^INS THE MILE AND AN EIGHTH
HANDICAP, ZOO 200 THE SEQUEL STAKES,
AXD FAIR PLAY THE HEAT RACE.
Sakatooa, N. Y., Aug. 2. — This has been an-
other brilliant day for the 9Br&toga Racing Associa-
tion. -In the morning rift« of -whit© clouds partially
obscpred the sun, and became more sombre In- ap-
pearance near the midday hour, but without assum-
ing a threatening asi>ect. This ser^-ed to tem-
per the atmosphere, and a better day
for racing has not been had this sea£on.
The track was in splendid conditionJSttLfast time, and
this was made. As was generally anticipated. Vera
Cruz won the mile and an eighth handicap, and Zoo
Zoo captured the Sequel Stakes, although carrying a
penalty of five pounds. Fair Play toofe the three.
quarter heats after a stubborn contest with Auburn.
In the steeple-chase there was a fine contest between
Trouble and Waller, which caused a vast amount of
enthusiasm. Trouble appeared to have won by a
neclc. and most of the people had left the course,
when, after some delay, the judges decided it a dead
heat.
♦
THE RACING IN DETAIL.
THE MILE AND AX EIGHTH HANDICAP.
The trouble of the speculators began with the free
ftnndicap sweepstakes of a mile and an eighth, for all
Dges. Eight horses had accepted, but only seven
faced the starter. These were ^\'hispe^, Vex*a Cmz,
Ambush, Mary, BradarBanio, Baroness, and Princess
r.f Thnle. In the pools before the start the Williams
pair were the favorites, and brought $225 ; Brada^
mante. 9135; ilary, $75; Baroness, §65; Ambush,
S50. andPrinces* of Thule $15. The distance being a
xuile and -an eiehth. the horjies were aligned at the
farlonjr p<ile. The start was a good one. Mar>', be-
ing quickest on her legs, came to the front, and
reiwbiad the stand a length in front of Whisner. with
PrijicP«s of Thulo lapping his quarter, and IJrada-
manoe lapping the Princess. Ambush brought up
tlie reevr. (ioing around the turn Bradamante passed
the Irincess and Whisper, and viont up to the ead-
rile-glr^U of Mary, wliilo Princess of Xhnle
was^ Jlvird, lapped on the quarter by "Whis-
per. AVhen they pa.ssed the quarter pole
ilary wai- still showing the wav half a length bexoro
Bradamaniv. while l*rincos8 oi Thule fell back, and
Whisper took tho third position at Brndamante's
liiiL with princess lappin? his quarter, the others
I'^'ins in a ruck, with Anilmsh two lengths in the rear.
The pace along the back stretch was very fast. Brad-
smantewas foicinR it. She speedily got to Mar>''s
head, and bv the time the half-mile pole was reached
phe showe<l'half J* length in advance of JIary, with
Whisper at the Jatters tail, followed bv Vera Cmz,
Princess of Thule fifth. Baroness sixth, and Ambush
srill occupjnnic his old position in the rear. "When
thev canje round the lower turn Vera Cruz made his
mn*. and a beautiful brush ensued- Bradamante
showed her neok In front of Vera Cruz. Mary, and
\\'lii=iper. who werp together, but when they turned
ir.ti the homf stretch it was evident that the race lay
bi-twecu Bradamante. Vera lYuz. and Whisper, as
Marj- showed evident siims o^ distress. Bradamante
(ippeared to be sligiitly in front of Vera Cruz, but the
pace be^au to tell on , her when she reached
the furloiig-pole, and -Sayres was obliged
to applv the lash. Sho responded wt-ii
hut Vem Cruz had tho best of it. and easily came to
the front, and won the race by two lene:ths in 1;57^
— a fast race. Bradamante was second, a lencth and
a half in front of \\'hisper. who was a length ahead of
Mar%-. Ambush came in fifth, Priucess of Thule
ilxth, and Baroness last.
THE SEQrEL STAKES.
The second event on the card was the fourteenth
renewal of the Sequel Stakes, for three-year olds ;
one mile and three-quarters. This had 27 nomina-
tions, and six of them sported silk, namely : Cardi-
nal Wolsey. Higgins. St. James, Major Barker, ^o
Zoo, and Vermont. Xotwithstandine the fact that
St." James ran such an excellent - race in
the Travers Stake and that Zoo Zoo was
to carrv 5 pounds jipnnlly. the latter was the fa-
vurite. and just belore the start Zoo Zoo sold for
S^yOt*. McDanielB $270. Hiicgins $-10. and Vermont
and Cardinal Wols*x. coupled, $45- As the distance
was a mite and Uirec-quarters the horses were
ttarted in the chute, and whon the fl.^g fell Major
Barker got away in th» load, it beini; his
mi--«>ioii TO make the ruhnini; for St. James.
When they ran ilown the chute. Major
B:krker led two lengths ; .St. Jara*'S was second, two
lengths before Zoo Zco, who was a length in advance
oi" ?"ar»lii)al Wolsey. When they turned into the
rtinilar tnack at the" half-mile pole' JIajor Barker was
foiir lentrths in advance, with St. James second, a
bead in front of Zoo Zoo. who was a lemrth before
Cardinal Wol«ey. with HiiKins fifth, and Vermont in
TJie rear. Ctiminc around the tower mm Major Barker
opened a sapot" eii:ht lengths before St. James, who was
niatciiinc'i^>o Zoo. leudlnc her half a lencth. AVolsoy
ft.iirth. Hittcins fifth, and Vermont sixth. They re
cniiim<i in about the same position when they turned
ijito ihi* strvtch. and nt the tinish of the first tfiree-
rjatirters '*i a mile, wliifh was run In 1:21, M.-ij^^^r
Ilarker was still CTittinc out the work eieht lengths
in front, but as the time will show he wa.-* not doim;
rapid mniiinc. St. James and Zoo Zoo were head
»nd ht ad a length in ailvance. while Cardinal Wol-
Sfv. Hiusins and Vermont, wore in the rfar. They
w.'jit around the* turn in th*> same order, but
ill the ouartrr. Major Barker quickened his pace con-
j^i.IeraMv. and still kejit the cap open, while St.
names and Z<x> Z'jo, still to^eth-T. wero two lenirths
iiwav from Carilinal Wolsey. When they ran alone
the 'b!w;k. stretch, Zoo Z<.>o hej:an to run fast, and
p::jsiiin!; out half a lencth in advance of St. James,
the two latter »*h»sed rapidly on Major Barker. To
thedisffustof his bai-kers, however. St. James sud-
(it-nlv showed tho white feather and fell hack iir-
nohly. while Wolsey ran up third. By the timn
they reached the half-niiU* pole. Zoo Zoo had
i:ot*lo the head of Major Barker, and Wolsey was
ju.-it lapping the leadings, when Scott, his jockey,
was seen to lean forward as if the bridle had broken,
and then fall off. "WoIsav then ran to the front of
the other borscH. As rh*.-y rame around the lower
turn. Z<x> Z«>o wns a half length in front of Barker and
on tuminc into the home stretch she had the whole
li-ld beaten. The riderles.t Wolsey was still
ill front of Zoo Zoo and caused much merriment as
iio passetl the Jud;:eH stand a length
in front of Zoo Zoo. Tho latter won the race by four
Jenirths in the e.n-sipst possible minner. Vermont
l-einc second, about tive lengths in advance of Major
D'.ark?r. who led Hicuins two lencrths. .'^t. James
^i^ve^^-ed across the home stretfh two or three times,
but being in the rear did not interfere with the
others. The time was 3:10.
When Scott limped from the place where he fell to
the weiehinc stand it was disoovere<i that the stirrup
fTrap iiiid parted, and h« was unable to maintain hia
balance on the colt. He was not injured.
THE THREE-QUARTER HEATS.
The third race was an interesting one oi threc-
qnarter-mile heatF, being a selling race with tho
usual allowances. There were five entries, namely,
Aubnm. X-ady Salyers, Fair Play, Imperatrice. and
Dandelion. In tho bettinp Auburn had been the
favorite, but this morning tho knowing ones got a
*' point"' on Lady Salyers. Lady Salyers rose
gradnallv into favor, ahd when they went to tho
post she' was s-elliue for $200; Auburn, $150 ; Fair
Plav. §110. and the field, .-SlOo.
First Hf^nt. — The horses moved away together with
r>andelion in the rear, but coins; down the shute An-
bum went to tlie front, followed by Imperatrice in
the second olace. I*ady Salyers third, and Fair Play
fourth. When they tumetl into the regular track at
the half -mile j)Os4_ Auburn led by a lencth, Impera-
tr>e -still being socond, half a lencth before
L;idy Salvers, "who was half a length in ad-
v:in'-e of Fair Play. \Vhen they ran around the
lower turn Imperatrice dropped to the rear. - Lady
Salvers then ran to the- saddle pirth of Auburn, and
the' pair left Fair Plav two lencths behind them, in
ronipanvwith DandeSion. Tuminc into the home-
Ftrct'*h." however. Lady Salvers quailed under tlm

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

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

HE CUTS LOOSE FBOJI HIS CAPTORS AND

LICEMAN RETURNS THE FIEE WITH
GOOD EFFECT— FINAL CAPTURE OF THE
CRIMIKAL.
Early 'yesterday afternoon a large, powerful,
and well-dressed man, named Oscar D. Peterson,
from Chicago, went into the store No. 1,121
Broadway, and botight $21 worth of fine socks, ties,
and silk handkerchiefs. While making these ptir-
cbasea he stole $26 worth more of similar articles.
Mr. J. Colby, Superintendent of the store, saw the
theft, and summoned Officer George H. Paddock, of
the Twenty-fifth Precinct. Peterson was arrested
by the officer, and seemed ao well disposed to go
along peaceably that he was neither held nor mana-
cled. On their way to the station-house, while on
Twenty-ninth-street, near Madison-avenue, Peterson
materially changed his demeanor. He had been car-
rying an umbrella in his right hand. This he trans-
ferred to the other hand, and with his right pulled
out two Derringer pistols, and, dropping the um-
brella, with a pistol in each hand he ttimed upon
Paddock and Colby, saying to them : "You , git,
DOW I" He fired, it is alleged, three shots so close to
their faces that they were blinded for a moment by
tho smoke. Paddock says that one of the bullets
grazed his left cheek under the eye, but it appeared
to the reporter that the wound he showed was a very
old scar. After firing the three shots Peterson ran.
and succeeded in distancing Paddock, who jumped
into a passing butcher's cart and compelled
the driver to chase Peterson. The run-
away made such excellent use of his
legs that neither Pnddock's imprea«ed cart
nor Officers Kepner, of the. Twenty-ninth Precinct,
and Pratt, of the Twenty-fifth, who joined in the
chase, could get anywhere near him. During the
chii'^e Peterson continued to reload and fire off his
Dt'rrinjrers at bis pursuers, firing ei-jht shots altogether
at them, none 01 which, however, took effect. Pad-
dock id.so kt-pt up a tire from the cart upon Peter-
son, and fired five bullets at him. one of which struck
him on the back of the head and ran along under the
.scalp until it reiichfd the t4ip of the skull, when it
came out and curried the fuuitive's hat with it, and
another lod;;ed in his right cnlf.
Blooi] flowed frcidy from both these wounds, but it
did not seem to affect Peterson's strength, louring
this time he continued his course down Twenty-fourth-
street toward Second -avenue, and when he was near
the comer of the avenue he turned upon a young
man , named Kdward Bromficld. of No. 331^ West
Fourtcenthstrcot. who wns standing looking at the
chase, and shot at him. Bromfleld turned, and tlius
saved his life, for the biilb't, which was aimed close
to bis heart, went sidow.'iys through tho coat at tho
left lajiel. through the vest and shirt, and mndo a
slicht tiesh wound on the right breast. Peterson
then ran into a slaugbt<fl"-housi> on Second-avenue,
where he was captured hy Oihct-r Smith, of tho
Eighteenth Precinct, who transferred him to Pad-
d'.rk." I'addock tm>k him before Jutlge Wandell. in
Jefferson Market Pfdice Court, yi-stcnlay afternoon
about 4 o'clock, and two compluluts were made
acninst him for felonious assault, one hy Paddock nnd
the other by Bromtield. and a charge of grand larceny
was entere<i against him by Colbv. Judce Wandell
held the prisoner for triid in dpf;mlt of $'Jii.OIH) bail.
$10,000 upon each of the feluuiims assaults, and

There were found "upon the prisoner's pennon

A riRGiyXA SnOOTIXG AFFRAY.
The Richmond (Va.) Disnnfrh of Tuesday
says : '• Ou Thursday la-st, in a difficulty which oc-
ctirred at Gumett'is store, Curdsville. Buckingham
County, Mr. William Saunders, a highly respected
young citizen, was shot and dangerously wounded hy
Robert Ould, Jr.. formerly'of Richmond. Such par-
ticulars of the affair as we have were gathered from
Buckingham gentlemen now in the city. It seems
that Mr. Quid had been_in the country for some
weeks visiting friends, and that on several occasions
he called at the residence of his relative. Mr. Alberto
Satmders, and paid attention to a daughter of Mr.
Satmders. A continuance of the visits was considered
undesirable, and Jlr. Saundors instructed his son
William to notify Ould. In cmisequence of this mes-
sage, Ould on Thursday soaghf_young Saunders and
found him threshi^ig wheat ia a lot near to (rar-
nott's store. Ould. riding a mule, waited
about there for some time, ready to make a
difficuly. but Saunders. being intent upon
his work. i»aid no attention to bun, and ho
went off, .IS was tiiought. Subscijuently
Saunders went to the store for somo purpo.se. anil
Ould rode up. and, usin<; highly offensive languai^e
against Saundi^rs. caused the latter to come tp tlie
door, where OuM, still mounted on the mule, fired
upon him two or three times. Saunders seized a
small piece of Iron and hurled it at C»uld, but with-
out effect, and I hen r-tn up to Ould and succeeded in
gettinir^he pistol from him. By oue of Ould'a shots
S-innders was wounded, the ball striking on the in-
side of the left arm, between the elhow vji& shoulder
joint, and ranging upward into the body. Ould was
arrested bv the bystanders, juid examined by a mag-
istrate and committed to jail without bail. At lust
accounts Mr. .Saunders' condition was regarded as
serious. It is represented that imme<liatelv after tho
shooting, and also on a subsequent day. Ould s-iid
tlmt he mtcnded to kill .Sanndcrs. and was only sorry
that he did not do it. On the other hand, the' coun-
sel of Ould. writing to a gentleman in Richmond,
says th.it rJuld represents that young Saunders had
repeatedly threhtened to kill him. William Saun-
ders, is pr'obahly not more than til or -2 years of
age. and ha-s the reputation nmong his friends and
neighhor.-* of heing a pe^-ceable and well-disposed
gentle man. ' ' ^
TITO DOLLARS FOR A CARPFTBAO.
The following railroad incident is told by the
Troy Prfjj? of Tuesday : "On the Saturday evening
Troy and Boston trkin, a man in the smoking-car said
to a Trojan in the seat in front of him : ' Won't you
take another seatj' Of course the Trojan looked
astounded at the request. In explanation the man
saidi: 'Your cigar makes me sick.' 'Wliy don't you
go into another cat, then; this Is the smoklng-cjir V
'Oh, is it r said the stranger, and immediately left
the car, leaviujz in the rack above him a badlv-wom
cari>et-bag. The seat thus vacated was soon taken by
another Trojan, who had jnst come in. ArrivinE
near Valley Falls, the carpet-bag fell from the rack
upon the Trojan's head. He suppose* it had l>een
thrown at him in sport, and at once threw it back at
the man who he supposed had assaulted him. The
carbet-bag went tbrouah the open window, and tho
tram then being in rapid motion no effort was made
to get it. Several miles further up, tbe stranger
came into the car again to gbt the oog. When the
Trojan was informed of the fact that the bag had
fallen upon him from the rack, and that he had
thrbwn it out of the window, (for he did not see it go
out,) he honorably offered to pay the man for it. The
stranger taid he thought that 'ere bag and its con-
tents ought to be wuth tew dollars. The Trojan paid
the $2, and will be very careful in future what
-"iTMkt-baff ba throvft'cmt of a wiudom."

^rcrmv salf of calico es.
Messrs, Townsend. Montant Sc t.'o. roade an
extensive sale of t^lir-o prints by auction yesterday,
at their warerooms, N'o. 71^ Letjuanl street. Theru
were >*0 lots, comprising 1.77"> cases, containing, in
the aggregate. --D.'^ltl yarjls of Richmond prints,
disposed of. The jmrchasers were all City jobbers,
and resident buyers ri^-presentin;; out of town houses.
About .'SOO merchants attended tbe sale. The poods
were disposed of in lots of from one to 10 cases, to
suit the buyers. The prices obtained were con.sider-
ably less than the regular market rates. The lowest
fyrice received on perfect goods wan f» cents, and tho
iighe!*t fjt.j, cents, while, had the commission mer-
chant** irone on tho street to sell iheni, they could
have dijiposed of them readilv at 7 and 7t2 cents per
yard. The terras of the sale were *»0 d.-\ys' credit.
%vith a diocount of .5 percent., or 7 per cent, dis-
count on hills paid within 10 days after the .*ialo.
There is a good deal «if dlssatinfaction amonj; manu-
facturers and commission merchants at tins way of
disposine of goods, as it ruins the market by forcing
upon it goods wliieh are not really needi-d, while the
onlv parties benefiting by the openition are the
jobbers. The latter too. are getting into the habit
of waiting until an auction sale takes place before
thoy purchase, and thus makiruT the extra percent-
age. Other manufacturt>rs aro left the alternative of
Belling their wares at private sale low enough to
meet the reduction correspouding to that obtained at
an auction sale, or go to the expense of disposing of
their goods at auction also.
LUXATirs SEXT BACK TO TBIS STATE.
Commi.<:sinner Cox. of the Board of Charities
and Corection, wa.s called upon to decide two rather
peculiar cases at the Tombs yesterday. The State
of Ma.ssacbusetts sent back two lunatics to this State
on the ground that they were crazy when they .landed
in this City originally, and thnt. as a cou.scquence,
here was the proper place for them to come for treat-
ment and support. Tho names of the unfortunate
patient-!* are Thomas Dalton and Jcdin Deasy. The
fftrioer is a nuddle-aged man. of rather genteel ap-
pearance, and has. no doubt, l>een industrious in his
day. as there are several hundred dollars to his credit
in the Boston Five Cent Savings Bank. He is suffer-
ing from dementia. Ho is a sincle man, without
any known relative, except a sister, who is supposed
to reside somewhere on Lone Island. I>easy is only
ii7. and is also single. He exmbits all the sj-mptoms

of the larjeaH silk goods manufacturers of Palerson.
Hissppedhwas devoted to tho question, "Should

cited s ovt ral | ca.ses, showing where his men who
wished tp remain at work had bceen threatened
by tho 6tike|rs and had been attacked and roughly
handled I y some of the most vicious members of tho
Silk Wearers' Association. He did not believe in
allowing he ptrikcrs to intimidate workmen in th.-it
manner. He thouKht that it would be very appro-
priateifoi tho Board of Trade to take some action in

it was loB" on a division, and the original resolution
was tlijen putand carried unanimously.
Thoistiikins silk-wtavers have resolved to con-

COLLECTOR FEEELAXD IN TROUBLE.
SERIOUS CRAKQES AGAINST HIM — THE ALLE-
GATIONS TO BE INVESTIGATED— WHAT
HIS FRIENDS SAT OX THE SUBJECT.
It became known in this City and Brooklyn
yesterday that Gen- Green B. R&tun, Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, had recently been tdaced in
possession of serious charges against Collector Free-
land* of Brooklyn, and that Mr. Brooks, Chief of
the Secret Service Barean, wotild leave Washington
for Brooklyn to-day for the purpose of Investigating
them. The charges are embraced in 12 specifica-
tions, and it is claimed that they are preferred by
prominent business men of I Brooklyn, who promise
to substantiate them by the testimony of a host of
witnesses, if the Government will guarantee that the
witnesses shall be protected fi^m oflicial persecu-
tion and annoj-ance. Among the charges are
black -maiUng, extortion, vexations and unnecessary
seizures, non-accounting for sales, paying pri-
vate debts with Government stamps, failure
to collect dues, and collusion with distillers
and other revenno officers. It is also charged that
when Special Agents of the treasury were sent from
Washington to investigate the nffairs of Collector
Freeland'fi office, the account of stock was taken by
avoirdupoht. Dispatches from Washington say that
these gr.ave accusaliohs are the result of a feeling of
indignation on the part of the business men of Brook-
l\^l over the retenjtion of Mr. 'lYeeland in office against
their most earnest protests.
A reporter of The Times called to see Mr. Free-
land la.st evening in reference to this matter. Thtt
gentleman was not at home, but his intimate
personal friend-s. Mr. Palmer, of the fnion and Arffu*.
and Mr. Ellis, spoke for him. They said there was no
question but that charges had been preferred against
Mr. Freeland by some persons who had personal or
political aims to forward in the event of
his removal from office, but they uutiuahfiedly
denied every material allegation against the
honestv, integrity, and efficiency of tbe C^lb-ctor.
Mr. Palmer said he was confident that a more honor-
able and conscientious gentleman never ser^'ed the
Government in any cap.'icity. The aUegation tiiat ho
u.sed official stamps to defray private debts was pre-
posterous. Mr. Fretland would not even use a Htamp
that belonged to the Govemm^'nt on a private
letter. The other chames were in the main
equally as absurd, and had been shown
to be so already. Mr. Palmer laughed at tho
charge in relation to tho manner in which tho
Special Treasury Agents had investigated the ac-
counts of Mr. Preelatids office. The hooks, he said,
were and are always open to the full and free Inspec-
tion of any person who take.5 sufficient interest in tlie
affairs of the Collector to examine tnem. Secure in
every conceivable point at which bis honesty and
efficiencv could be attacked. Mr. Freeland courted In-
vestigation, the result of which can only redotmd to
his credit.
Mr. Ellis said there was no truth whatever in the
assertion that tlie petition for Mr. Freeland's re-
moval had b€-on signed by the foremost men of Brook-
lyn. He [EHis] had himself drawn up a request for
Mr. Freeland's retention, and he knew that it had
V>een signed cheerfully and ■willingly by citizens ,wboso
characters were abov'e reproach, merchans and pub-
lic men nfJ>oth parties. Neither Mr. Palmer nor

TBE PRFSIDEXT ASKED TO EXPLAIX.
The following communication, which sufS-
ciently explains itself, has heen sent to President
Hayes by the officers of the Twentieth Ward l[Brook-
lyn> Republican As.sociation :
Bkookxvn, July 31. Ifi77.
To Hu ExcdUncy Riither/ord B. Hayes, Prenident,
The Twentieth Ward Republican Association of
Brooklyn have received a larce number of resigna-
tions of membership frotn gentlemen holding _pORi-
tions in the Customhouse.' Post Office, and Navy-
yard. Tlieso resignations result from your recent
order in reference to participatiooi by Federal ofScers
in political conventions. The undersigned were ap-
ponltfjd a committAe from the association to ask
whether the order referred to covers inembc-rship in
such organiiations.
The Twentieth Ward Republican Association em-
braces within its membership every Republican voter
of the word who has asked admission, and has a roU-
btiok upon which the names of such voters are en-
tered. These persons and no others are entitled to
vote at all the primary elections, at which not only
are the delegates to the several political conventions
chosen, but the ward officers, such as Aldermen and
Super\isors. are also nominated for the general elec-
tion. The ward being strongly Republican, it is
manifest that imder ordinary circumstances the per-
sons thus nominated for Alderman and Snpervisor
are reasonably certain of victor^' at the general elec-
tion.
Practically, therefore, if your order forbids Fed-
eral nflico -holders to be menibers of the Ward .Asso-
ciation, and if continuance in the exercise of the
rights of membership is a breach of the order, such
persons are, to some exi^'nt, excluded frQm the right
of suffrsge. We esteem the primary election, as con-
ducted bv tbe vfard a.-isocjation. an important civil
right, as It is certainly the foimtain and source of po-
Uiiful power.
The resign.itions which haye been already recclv*Hi
by the association were laid; upon tJie table in order
to obtain from you an expression whether persons
holding Federal positions will be prejudiced by Tuem-
bership. and whether they are expected to withdmw
from all participation in iheseleetion of delegates for
convention and nominees for ward and otiier offices,
and action will be deferred tmtil your answer Is re-
ceived. Ver\' resnectfully your.s,
C. H. K. SMITH. : Xr^r^^ut^

To the Editor ofthf Nine- York Times :
A large number of yoiir readers have been
gratified by the editorial in' yotir paper of Aug. 1,
entitled " Swindling States." It is indeed wonder-
ful to a plain person how pop^ilar dishonesty has be-
come with the multitude, and that, however ready the
individual may be to pay his de Jts. yet. as a body,
they aro always opposed to| paj-meut, for benefits
that have been enjoyed. Perhaps this would not ap-
pear so strange if the voters i^ere all tax-payers, but
even those who have no pecuniary interest at stake
are proved to gladly rush to the dishonest side. This
tendency can only be arrested: by the power of public
opinion, and it is the manifest duty of the press to
strike unsparingly, without fear or favor, wherever
the thieving dispcsition shows itself, be it in the pri-
vate station or in the State. But if the "swindling
State" is so abhorent to our sense of justice, what shall
be said of the "swindling General Government?" Has
not our countr>' sowed the s^d ; and shall it decline
to reap ? or. rather, has it not carefully taught its
children that robbery Ls often (expedient ; at any rate,
that honesty must never stani in the way of policy ?
You have, no doubt, many instances before you. but
it is here only necessarv t<^ recall one. a robbery^
whose victims — many of thiem now just alive —
from the years of their prinie to their old age have
called unceasinsly upon the ■ Goverument to return
them their fathers' property— only to return them
their own, without anv thought of interest, so their
dechning wars might he spared from poverty. And
to think that they have beeni always denied, and al-
ways assured that their claiuii was perfectly just but
too unjwpular! I refer, of course, to the French
spoliation claims, and to the 'wronged and outraged
heirs, Hving and dead, of the merchant claimants.
Three-quarters of a century have passed since, by
the decree of MUan, the PVeiich Government, in the
midst of trouble, honorably ninid these claims to the
United .States by the cession of Louisiana, and twice
during that time has a bili providing for their settle-
ment passed both houses of Congress, twice has it
been vetoed— once by that briUiant statesman James
K. Polk, and once b'y that asjtute warrior Franklin
Pierce — and to-day if t^e question was left to the
people whether the United .States should cancel its
debt to the amount of even j $50,000,000. the an-
swer at the polls would be a tremendous No I Let
us not speak of "swindliTig $tate.«." nor blame the
branches for being corrupt, when the tree itself is
rotten. B.

lONDON, Aug. 3. — The Daily News' cor-
/•sspondent spu'Is from Pore*lin. near Plovna.
a graphic aceouut of Tues-iay's hattle, the sub-
stantial facts of whirh are as tele^^rapbed to the
"United States yesterday. The following closing
scenes give a vivid idea of the extent of the
Russian disaster. It will he noticed that the
correspondent is \yith Prince Schackoskoy'.s
cotumaud, and does not purport to give any ac-
count Of the condition or losses of Gen. Krud-
enor's corps :
*' And now all hope of success anywhere wa.s
dea*l ; nor did a chance offer to raake the best
of defeat. Prince Schacko!-koy ha<l not a man
' left to cover the retreat. The Turks struck
T-ithout stint." They had the upper hand for
once, and were determined to show that- they
knew how to make the most of it. They ad-
vanced in swarms through the dusk on their
original first position, and captured
the Russian cannons before the bat-
teries could bo withdrawn. Turkish shells
began once more to whistle 'over the
ridge above Ra<b.shova and fall into the village
behind now crammed with wounded. The
streams of wounded wending their painful way
over the ridge were incessant. The badly
wounded mostly lay inhere they fell. Later, in
the darkness, a baleful sort of krankeiitraegrr
swarmed over the battle-field in the shape of
Eashi-Bazouks, who spared not Lingering
there on the rtdge till the moon rose, the staff
could hear from below on the still night air cries
of pain and entreaties for mercy and the
yells of bloodthirsty fanatical triumph. It
was, indeed, an hour to wring the stern-
est heart. We stayed there to learn, if it
might be, what troops were coming out of the
" valley of the shadow of death " below, were
there indeed any at all to come. It did not seem
to be the case. The-Turks had our range before
dark, and we could watch the flash of flame over
against us, and then listen to the scream of the
shell as it tore by us. The sound of rifle bullets
was incessant, and the escort and retreating
wounded were struck. A detachment at length
began to come straggling up, but it will give an
idea of the disorganization to say that when a
company was 'told off to cover somewhat the
wounded in Radishova, it had to be made up of
men of soveral.jeginients. About !> o'clock the
staff quitted the ridge, leaving it .littered with
groaning men. and mo\-ing gently, lest we should
tread on the prostrate wounded.'we lost our way
as we lost oiur army. We could ilcd no rest for
the soles of our feet by reason of alarms of
Bashi-Bazouks swarming in among the scattered
and reririug Russians. At length, at 1 o'clock
in the morning, having been in the saddle since
<> o'clock on the previous morning, we turned
"into a btubble-tield. and making beds of the
reaped grain, correspondent and Cossack
alike rested under the stars. But we
were not even then allowed to re.«t.
Before 4 o'clock an alarm came that the
Bashi-Bazouks were up<'>n us. and we had to
rouse and tramp away. The only protection of
the chief of what in the morning was a fine
army was now a handful of wearied Cossacks.
Gen. Krudfcner sent word in the morning that
he had lost severely and could make no head-
way, and had resolved to fall haefeon the line of
the River Osma. There had been talk, his
troops being fre.-.h, of renewing the attack to-
day with his co-operation, but it is a plain state-
ment of fact that we have no troops to attack
with. The mo.st mo<lerate estimate is that we
have lost two regiments, say 5,000
men, out of our three brigades. A
ehastly number, beating Eylau or Friedland.
•9 This takes no account of (Jen. Krudener's lo.sses.
/ We, too. retire on the Osma River about Bulga-
^^l^^ni, and to the best of otir weak strength cover
the bridge at Sistova. One cannot, in this mo-
ment of hurried confusion, realize all the possi-
ble results of this stroke so rashly courted. Xot
a Russian soldier stands between Tirnova and
the victorious Turkish Army in Loveca and
Plevna, and only a wc-ak division of the Elev-
enth Corps stands between Tirnova and the
Shnmla Army. I look on Prince Schaekcskoys
force as wrecked — as no longer for this cam-
paign to be counted as a fighting integer.
It is not 10 days since the Thirtieth Division
crossed the Danube in the pride of superb con-
dition ; now. what of it is left is demoralized
and shattered. So on this side of the Balkans
there remains but the Xinth Corps, already
roaghly handled, once at Xikopolis and.once at
Plevna, one division of the Eleventh Corps, and
the Rustchuk Army. Xow, if the Rusrchuk
Army is marched to 'the we.st against Plevna,
then the Turkish Army of Rustchuk is let lo-tse
on the Russiian communications to Tirnova. One
cannot avoid the conclusion that the advance
over the Balkans is seriously compromLsed. The
Russian strait is so bad tfiatthe scattered de-
tachments have been c^ll^d up from out of Rou-
mania, and the Roumanian division commanded
by Gen. Manu, which crt^s-sed a day or two ago
at Nikopolis, has been called up to the lihe of
•the Osma River. An aid-de-camp of the Grand
Ihike Nicholas was present at the battle, and at
once started for Tirnova with the evil tidings;
'We are just quitting this bivouac, and falling
back on Bnlgareni "with all speed, leaving the
Bulgarian villages to the tender mercies of the
Ttirks. As I clo.*e, I learn that on our left Gen.
Skobeleff was very severely handled, ha\-ing lost
300 men out of his single Infantry battalion.
Lrf»"l>OX, -\ug. 4. — The Paili/ Sews' corre-
spondent with Prince Schackosky's force, tele-
graphing from Simnitza under date of Aug. 1 ,
^ves an accotint of the retre.at. He says : *: The
road from Poredin to Bulgareni was cunahered
with broken and retreating troops, wholly desti-
tute of order, oificers without saddlers, soldiers
without officers, without cohesion and mostly
without arms. At the narrow bridge
near Bulgareni there was wild confusion
and a complete block ; tumbrils, ambulance
wagons, provision wagons, ofiBcer.s' caleches, led
horses, and carts tilled with wotmded, all
•were jammed in indescribable chaos.
There had been wounded all along
the road, but the bulk of the wounded bejran a
little way beyond Bulgareni and extended
in an unbroken line for seven mikg
along the road to Sistova. They were
mosuy carried in o.x-carts, several cases in am-
bulances, and large numbers tramped
on foot. Immense numbers of wounded
had tramped the whole way from the
battle-field and were already entering Sis-
tova at G o'clock yesterday evening.
They must have walked 40 miles in
24 hours. wotinded a.s they were.
Nearly all these "wounded, however,
ron.sisted of men who had somehow managefl to
walk out of the battle. The 'oad cases were
mostly left where they fell. The staff oflicer
nith whose estimate I am inclined to
agree thinks the whole force lost between ti,000
and 7,000 men in killed and^^^wounded. A
brigade of the Thirty-second Division has suf-
fered the most heavily. Besides the trrible
loss of men it sacrificed the imperial banner of
one of its regiments. The whole of the Tliir-
tieth Dirision 'iias been smitten very sorely.
All of the three brigades of Prince Schackosky's
command are for a time in a state of disorgan-
ization.
The SttndartTs Biela dispatch says": '* Bashi-
Bazouks have appeared near Sistova. They are
thought, however, to be a mere detachment, not
Indicating the presence of any Turkish force.
Kazanlik is to be abandoned. Gen. Gourkho is
to be recalled and Gen. jVIirsky to be summoned
hither from Gabrova. Everything on the other
side of the Balkans wiU, in fact, be relinquished
except the actual pass."
The Daily Telegraph has a special dispatch
purporting to give an account of another defeat
of the Rusbians before Plevna on Wednesday.
A Benin dispatch to this afternoon's Pall
MaXl Gazette .says : •■ The Russian 3Iinister of
War has issued orders directing the Army
Borps not yet mobilized to tumlsh a
division each to the fighting army to be
U once dispatched to the Danube. Rus-
fflor. jotimals deny that tha Cxas h»» sanc-
tioned a decree calling the Landwehr to
the colors, becatise there is a law pro-
viding that the Landwehr is not to be called out
until the entire army is mobilized. All hitherto
done consists in preparation for mobiUzatlou of
the Landwehr whenever called out.
The Standard's St. Petersburg dispatch says :
'• In addition to the- reserves which,
since the commencement of the war,
have been continually sent southward, the
whole Imperial Guard has been ordered to pre-
pare to proceed to Bulgaria. The first detach-
ment will start in a few days.

Paris, Aug. 3. — Adelina Patti's case has
been decided. Both the lady and her husband
had filed applications for jjudicial sepai-ation.
Madame Patti's application was refused. Her
husband's was granted. The sentence states
that Mme. Patti does not even offer to bring for-
ward any proofs of the facts she alleges. On the
other hand, the documents placed before the tri-
bunal, particularly correspondence.addressed to
Mme. Patti by a third person, show that hef
conduct did the gravest injury to her hus-
band. The court, therefore, pronounces
against her petition for separation of
body and goods, and condemns her to
pay costs. As divorce is unrecognized
by the French law, neither party ban marry
again. The sitting was public. 'The Marqui

ScRANTON, Penn., Aug. 3. — ^While every-
remaina quiet, the attempts to resume
work ijn the shops to-day were not successful,
the mc n appearing to be divided in opinion as
to the adriwibiHty of resumption. There have
numerous reports of attempts by
to intimidate men. but dill-
inquiry fails to confirm any of
them. I The Bloomsburg Division of the Dela-
ware. Lackawanna and Western Road is open,
and with guards of troops trains run with tol-
erable regularit}-. The funerals of three of the
men who were killed on Wednesday were held
to-day. The fiiabrals were large, and they
passed down Lackawanna-avenue and over to
Hyde Park Catholic Cemetery without interrup-
tion, and created no excitement whatever. The
strikers are as determined as ever, and all re-
ports tiiat they are willing to go to work with
out a s<»ttlement beforehand of the question of
wages are positively denied. There has as
yet teen no movement of troops from
this city, but the impression prevails that there
will b^ a departure of part of the Philadelphia
men fi*om here to-mprrow. The Lehigh Valley
Road IS open, and the prospect is con.sidered
good ior an early resumption of business on
the Leliigh and Susquehanna Road.
A number of men who were on their way this
morning to the Delaware and Lackawanna car
shops were stopped at Dodgetown Bridge by
strikers and dissuaded from resuming work.
It is now thought that the attempt to resume
business will be postponed until Monday. Mil-
itary discipline is exerted here at night. All
the saloons have been ordered closed, and even
the guests of the hotels are halted at the doors
by sentries.

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

boatmen presftnt a jmore difficult problem to

Speriat DtgpateX to the Xeto- Tork Time*.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Aug. 3. — One of the
most disastrous fires in respect to the loss of
life entailed that ever occurred in Cincinnati
broke out at 7 o'clock this morning. The build-
ing consumed was a flve-story brick, near the
corner of Eiprhth-street and Broadway, and was
used as a ci??ar-lK>x manufactory. Nearly all
the employes, mosdiy girls, and 1.^ or IS in
number, were at work in the third or fourth
story when tiie alarm sounded, l^it so rapid
was the spread of the flames in the dry, com-
bustible material with which the place was
stored, that instantly all means of es-
cape to the lower floor was cut- off. The
terrified inmates rushed from one part of
the building to the other, not daring to jump to
the ground. Two of the girls, more prompt and
courageous than the rest, ran to the burning
stairway, dashed through the flames and fell ex-
hausted and badly burned at the bottom. Their
injuries were not fatal. The others ran from
window to window, imploring the crowd outside
to do something to rescue them, but every effort
failed, owing to the marvelous rapidity with
which the flames spread through the building.
( )ne num succeeded in raising a ladder, but fall-
ing bricks and burning pieces of timber drove
him aw:iy. Gradually the victims were driven
upward toward the roof, where all possibility of
ewapu was otit off. Three minutes later the
whole building was on fire, and the cries of the
inmates were Tir^'ue<l in the roaring flames.
It was scarcely 10 minutes from the time the
alarm was given until the fire was bursting out
.of every window and shooting upward from the
roof.
As soon as the flames were under sufficient
control the firemen began to look for the bodies
that were in the ruins. They soon discovered
in the cellar amass of smoking remains, which
proved to be the bodies of four un-
fortunate victim.s. They were lying al-
mo.1t in a heap, as if death had over-
tjikeu them when huddling together in terror
in a comer of the building. Three t-f them
were S()on identified by scraps of clothing or pe-
culiarities of teeth, but the fourth was burned
beyond recognition. The search for bodies was
continued during the afternoon, but no more were
found. Others who were engaged in the fac-
tory are still unaccounted for, and it is supposed
that they perished in the flames. Three men
jumped from the second story and escajted un-
hurt. One other received such injuries that he
died iu three or four,hours. It is stated !»ythf>se
who saw the beginning of the fire, that I-'nink .Stu-
dier. oneof the victim.^, was standingon the street
when he saw the girls in the upper stories ap-
pealiiig for blip. He called out that he would
soon help tlieni uut. and darted up the stairway,
but was .Mfon sufTocated and fell in the flames.
Kxagirerated s!*;ries have been afloat during the
day as t<"i the loss of life. So far. however, the
number of those known to have burned to
death only reaches sis. Considenibltj criticism
has l>een expres.'ied toward the Fire Departmeiit
for not taking some Dieans t4> re.scue those in
the burning building, but investltrution shows
that every efl"ort in that direction was par-
alyzed by the raj.iditv uith which the flames
jsifread. Almost l>elVirethefiremen wen'awarethal
tiie inmates «jf the upper stories were cut off
from the stret-ts. the walls were falling. Had
there been time for (ielihirution the girls might
h.i^e exchanged certJiin dt^ath for a few broken
b.->ncs by jumping from the second and thiril
stories. The building was a perfect flre-trap.
hfing pierced fron top to bottom by a narr-jw
-■stairway antl elevntor ttmnel. stoj-ed with everj-
thine that v.-as combu.stible, and furnished with
no form of tire-escape.
iSeveral adjoining buildings, used as dwelling-
houses and small workshops, were also burned.
The lotal loss by the fire will be from $7.'>,<KX)
to #100.(K)0. The insurance is very light.
Two firemen were overcome by the intense heat
of the sun and of the burning building, atid
were carried to their homes in an unconscious

CAPTURED IN BALTIMORE— REMARKABLE
PAPERS FOUND ON HIS PERSON — BELIEF
THAT HE WAS CONCERNED IN THE
NATHAN MURDER AND IN THE DESECRA-
TION OF THE TOMB OF LINCOLN.
Baltimore, Md.,Au£r. 3. — James T. Huff,
ali.is James T. Porter, a noted confidence man,
who h.is made himself conspicuous in various
parts of the counlrj- in the r^Ie of a secret .ser-

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

conspiracy to rob tlie tomb of Lincoln of the re-
mains of the ox-President, and from a slip cut
froiu a Western paper found in his pocket, he
was denounced as the prime mover in the
conspiracy. Two men concerned with him were
sentenced to the I'enitentiary, biit he escaped.

Stranton, Penn., Friday, Aug. 3, ,1877.
" We may as well Ptarve as to t^
and work longer for wages that are not suffi- *
cient to keep body and soul decently togeth-
er." This a miner said to me to-day in Hyde
Park, over the river at this place, along the
ridge into which the Delaware, Ijackawanna
and Western Railroad Company has sunk its IS
or more great shafts. I have spent nearly a
day among the miners, visiting them
in their meetings and in their houpes,
and I have been astonished to i3iid
them, cool, quiet, anxious to keei>
the peace, friendly to the military, but so pooar
and hopeless that their condition cannot posei-
bly be much worse without driving them in des-
peration to rash acts. This morning, on going
into the hall where they hold their ajisemblages,
I was surrounded by a throng of them. Tliey
were respectful in their allusion."^ to the compa-
ny, they were willing to grant nie every- facflity
for ascertaining exactly what their condition
is. and they were, rejoiced that they had an.
opportunity to present tneir grievances just
as they were. A number of their commit-
teemen were present, and from tbera
I understood that the complaint of the miners
is this : The Delaware, Lackawanna and West-
em Railroad some years ago, by the purchase
at high prices of the lands in the valley,
obtained control of the va.«t tracts of coal
lands which they now own and operate. At
great expense they sunk shaft after shaft all
over the tract, and the c^st of sinking shafts
and opening the mines varied in each case from
$300,000 to $500,000. To operate these
mines they gathered together laj-ge num-
bers of miners — Welsh, Germans, and Irish.
To these miners they offensd indnce-
ments in"" the way of propertv-, and many
of the men, in the flush times, when work was
plentiful and pay large, undertook to purchase
houses or lands, to be paid for by installments.
This gave a large proportion of the men a per-
m.anent interest in the neigh berhood. In 1?^73
the panic knocked down all the building loan
a.s.sociations here, and the miners soon Ivegan to
feel their incumbered property a burden.
Business began to decline, but prices of work in
the mines did not suffer reduction until IkT.I.
In .January of that year there was areduction of
10 per cent The men were able to do well
enough to support their families by economical
use of their earnings, but in September, 187**,
there was another reduction of lO per cent.
This cutting, together with the frequent sus-
pension of mines, and the alterpaiing sv.<!tem of
working them, pinched the men badly, amd
those who had saved a littlo "in* better days be-
gan to draw upon their savincs. Remon-
strances were in vain. To the miners' commit-
tee who went to the officers of the ro.id to ask
for the rescinding of the order for a reduction,
suggesting that the market price of c/>al was 'so
good that the company could afford to grant tho
request, the reply was given: "The market is
none of your busine.^is : w© shidl regulate wages
by the labor market.*' ^^
In March last another reduction of 1.5 per
cent, was ordered, and it is the cairring out
of this order that has forced the men, in an
agony of poverty, of actual hung«»r and want in
ever>' shape, to declare that they wnW rather die of
slar\'ation without work llian tow'^nk andsta.rve
at one and the .same time. The resilff of the threo
reductions 1 cannot present better than by the
following table of rates paid n.t the time.s speci-
fied for different classes of work. The figures
are taken from the Delaware, Lackawanna and
.Western Company's books, which were readily
shown to me at their office here : ,

It may be well to explain that the difference
in the r^tes paitl to the miners is regulated by
the work done, the 'top coal bringing less
per car than that got out or the/first cut, as it
is easier to got out the forma-. The miners
paid by the day do odd jobs apout the mines.
If the inen could work at the wices given here
the week through, without itwerruprion, they
would make only moderate w»es. But they
declare that they are not empio^ji more than
half the time, ^d the result is that the best of
them make only $25 a month. j
There was one man in the crowd, an Irish-J
man. whom I addrcs-sed. He is emploved in
the Continental Mine of the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and We.st<Tn. and is a laborer. He is
perhaps in a Ix'tier phwe thjin the ordinary i
helper, tlie man who lo.ids the coal for an e,x-
periencf-vl miner. He goes in a mine him-'Milf, I
and with another miner take.t a chamber to.
work it, Instea'l of taking on«-t!iird of the
earnings — ^the portion alhateii to ordinary
help<'rs — he has one-half and shares with his
Eartner the cost of the suppli<». Having paid
is n(;cessary expen.ses t»> the company, at
the end of la.st month he had 'S^3S>.
Out of this came $4 30 for rent of his house
aud #1 for coal. He ha.^t a vrifo and three
children and his mother. 74 years old, to sup-
port. Their diet has been for months simply a
round of mush made of Indian moal. and occa-
sionally potatoes. The man was clad iu clothes
ver>- much the worse fv»r wear, yt-t he said
they were the best he had to put on when
he came out of the shaft. '* But do you
not have meat!" I asked. " Meat is *it !
sure I wouldn't know how to eat it,"' said
the man in reply, and the truth of his statement
was corroborated by several earnest and intelli-
gent men who stood near. Indeed, the crowd.s
in the hall contained a large number of men
who spoke in good terms, with judgment, and
with choice of language that showed a consider-
able degree of studv- The Irishman said that
beyond a bit of pork on pay day hi; had scarcely
known what it was to taste meat for months.
In the hall 1 met another laborer who last
month made $2G *2o. and out of that
money a large family had to be snpported.
These were oiJy a few instances of the acanti-
ness of labor andjtay, and in the coiurse of con-
versation other complaints came out. The men
of the Delaware, X>ackawanna and Western
were unanimous in saying that tbe company
had alwavs been very prompt to pay it* em-
•loyes. ^There could be no murmur. on that
nore, and whatever they earned they receiveil
i^4>uhi ^here are no struck stores" or com-
pany stores which the men feel obliged to
patronize.
A workman of the LackAwaniia Coal and Itdd
Company here said that while it was pretended
that the store of that company was one at which
they were not compelled to buy, they really wern
constrained to buy there. If they did not they*
would soon know of it, and they would get lit-
tle employment and little or no cash. The
stores, this man asserted, would supply every-
thing that could possibly be wanted by fami-
lies. To get cash the men at one time resorted
to the plea of fiuieralg, representing that friends
or relatives were dead, and they needed money
to bury them. An undertaker was added to the
Store, and now the fimexal plea i» * worn out
/
i^iiittii^ittiiiiiMiiiiiiJiiifit
one. It is charged that doctors wtio attend the
mineni prepenl their bills throuffh the compaQr
store, and that the miners have to pay 5 per
rent, for the collection of the bill. The orders
of the company are discounted, the miners say,
and a case was mentioned of a boarding-hous^
keeper xrho took a miner's order for $40 as
payment of a debt, but could only get $38
worth of gT>od» at the company's store prices.
A man in the pine shaft aaia he had a family
of nine to support, and that '* notMnK but the
mprry of G<>d had kept them alive." He broke
his leg- in the mine in November, was laid-up
six months, and on going to work In March wfis
able to mako only $17 or $18. There were no
other laborers Jn the family, hia oldest child
being a girl .8 years of age. He has
$6 a month to pay for rent, and the
rent had been seldom paid. Coffee they cotdd
' not ufte, bread was almost a luxury, mush was
their staple artiol*^ of diet, and tea at 20 to 25
rents ft pound was the most tempting article in
the daily bill of fare. I heard of an engineer,
who is supposed to be doing very well as work
goefl, who had fed a family of nine persons on
m**al mush three times a day, from pay day to
]>ay day, for months.
All this was told without passion, without
any ebullition of feeling toward the railroad
conipanv. Then* was not a disrespectful per-
Sf)n:tl allusion to anybody during the conference
which 1 held with the men. The talk amounted
to-that eventually, for the knot in th^ballin-
rrfrased to a l»ody of 100, out of which body
the men wonld rise one after another and make
their j-iatemonts in an orderly, intelligible, and
rnniftst manner. One young man, a
AVflshman. of good address and clear
hr;i!l. spoke at some length and with
painful earnestness. The miners are sensitive,
he sitid. to the criticism of the outside world-
tin- public who are looking on from a distance,
and who ol^tain the impression that these rough
men wh.> work down in the coal-beds are destir
tute of finer feelings', of aspirations, of the de-
sire for the comforts of home. The man wore
a failed suit of clothes which looked as
U he had worn it in rain and sh ine
for years. He said he had bought
it, jupt as it was, iu a pawn-shop.
'' And what could have been the condition of
thf man who pai^Tied it I " he aske<l. This mau
irifd to get away from Scranton, but he- found
business d^ill everywhere, and had come back to
try again, hoping for better things. He de-
eiiirt'il that children were dyine here for medi-
riup that they could not get, because the «loc-
tor.-i would not come to the miners when called,
knomng they could not pay. On inquiring about
sini'p the strike he had been Burprised to find
t>i:it there were so many men who were worse
oi'i xhAu he. He had discovered that there were
men without work, without credit, and with
only su<'h food to eat as the neighbors chose to
send into tht- m from time to time.
After spending some lime with these men in
their hall, and hearing more melancholy facta
about their condition than I can send" in this
I'ttt-r. 1 went about among some of their homes.
1 ua#^\*elt*omed to these lowly places with a
.iri'o*l d»*a! of courtesy. I visited not only the
homes of tho more fortunate but also the cabins
of the poorest. ^Vliere there were only two or
t)in-f in a family, and a man had been regularly
employed so that $2."* or !?-*7 a month — far
above the average, which is about $!?;> — was
cr.min^ in. the homes of the men were neat an<l
cheerful, though very plain, and the women
said they really could not say they wanted for
anythiiiir. But I found many, many
houses where bread had been Bcarce in the chil-
(Irirn's mouttifl. One woman said her children
had been sick from hunger, and she had not a
mouthftd to give to them when they cried for
something to eat. Another woman's eyes gUs-
teneil as she told how she had seen a wagon-
load of •• beautiful bread" going to the soldiers'
cimp, and how' she wished it could have
been brought over to Hyde Park
to be distributed among some of those who had
e^^-arcely eaten bread for weeks. There were
wan an<l work-beaten men here who told how
they had jrono into the mines in the morning
with .a little luneh in their pails, to take no
orhtT fofid t"(»r 10 hours, and, worse still. I was
a-suretl that so terribly had families been pinched
that there were cases where the men had
not touched food from the time they went into
tSe mine in the morning until they came out at
^Vjiung.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOS, \
THE STKCGGLE AGAINST TASfUANT.
Fn (hf ICUtor of The ^'eto-For* Timn :
The outlook in political affairs in this City is
in the highest degree satisfactory to those of otir citl-
u-ns who hare so long advocated the claims of Mu-
nicipal Government to the most prominent position
lu the yearly elections. But with aU this we mnst
not lose sight of the fact that the leeches of the poli-
tical system and the machine politicians who look at
a campaign as a foraging expedition, in which the
tir*t princ)i;le is to live on the enemy, are active in
iheir eilorts to add to their own strength and earnest
imd sleepless in their projecta for thwarting the
L-ombination of citUens against of&ce-holders.
The central point of attack, and about and aroond
which the campaijcn mnst be fonsht. Is now. as It has
been for so many years, that combination of a Uttle
respectability and mnch rascality, Democratic in Its
professions and dictatorial In its acttial management,
creator of debt, rewarder of ballot-box sttiifing. re-
peating;, and all political crimes, the organization
tlyrotigh which theontrages of the Tweed Ring wero
possible, and now composed principally of the same
fio-called represontativea aa ruled therein six yean
ago — Taramnny HaP. It will need no argument
to convince one that a general combination Is neces-
sary to defeat that dispenser of patronage, but the
details of such a combination mnst be well and thor-
ouRhly nnderatood, and no petty jealousies allowed
to TntcrftTO therewith.
On the part of the Democracy an independent omnr
Ization is forming, whose sole purpose It is to effect
such a result aa we liave indicated, and to
select such candidates for office at all ottis«y
can vote for witb pride and laUsfactlon. The G«r-
coana are evldwttly arona«d to the need of a h«arty
effort tn the eaojw of reform, and it la w«ll nnder-
rto^ t^« Hull wwltlnn Is jpzvpand to do its
whole duty in the coming election. The so-called
Anti-Tammany Committee started with bright pros-
pects, and in tne election of 1 875 did all that its beat
frientU could have promised for it, but in the follow-
inec year the nttempt, in the Summer, to ooalesce
with Tammany Hall, and the numerous conferences
to that end, and, lastly, their indorsement of the
Tammany ticket, left them with no followers, and
their reorganization this year under practically the
same leadership inspires no confidence In the sin-
cerity of their motives. , So that the combination
aeainst Tammany to be effective mnst bo made by
the indenendent Democracy, the Germans, and tho
Republicans. Can such la combination be made 1
Or rather, can such a combjuatlen be prevented ?
The mistake of last year, I think, will not be re-
peated. There is crood reason to believe that the
Republican Party of this City have learned wisdom
hy the experience of the past year, and are now
ready to unite for the qeneral welfare. As for the
purpose of all this, the objeet to be gained, the ben-
efit to be realized. I will simply say that the control
of the Board .of Aldermen is worth all the trouble of
the campaign. The President of the Board of Al-
dermen is a member of -the Conmiittee on
Apportionment, the b*ard hsa the confirming
power of the different . Commissi onershipR,
and can therefore exercisf an inflmnce for good
over the executive affairs of the City. One honest,
energetic, and rapoble member of the Board ofAp-
portioument, who is determined to abolish sinecures.
cut off purely politifial offices, and to reduce taxation
witliin reasonable limits, can do mucn to revi\-e the
waning confidence of business men In the future of
our City, and open a new era qf prosperity to our
citizens. When we add to this power of the Board
of Aldermen, the jmwer of regulating the general
policy of the Corporation, we have reason enough to
make so earnest an effort, when succesa will bring
such advantage to our tax-ridden people. I havo
referred to the Republican Partv as an organization,
because I have as yet seen no reason for believing
that the outside committees now forming will exer-
cise any appreciable in^nence in the campaign. \Ve
have this year aa heretofore committees of dissatis-
fied politicians, but I have yet to find any organiz.v
tion of the Republican mosses in this Ci^ that will
create any disturbance in the ranks. TTie day is
fortunately past when a few wire-pullers can get
together and control the politics of our Mnnicipalitv.
and it will be well'not to forget that all the "talk
around town" that the Republican Party is divided
comes from the Tammanv managers, the* followers of
the Vatican. ' CIVIS.

' IXFERIORITT
I>* SPEECH OP AMERICAX
WOMEK."
To theEdttor of the X^nc-Tork TimtM:
I have just fini^ed. reading the article on
"Every-day English" in The Times for Sunday,
July 29, and the closing words ring in ray ears like
an unjust and ungenerous taunt. Being one of
America's women. I feel like speakitig lust a word or
two in defense of the | thousands of cultured women
all through our land who speak the £n</dsh languag-'
with a purity of utterance, a correctness of accent
and Inilection, and a flow of smoothness excelled by
the women of no other nation. I will allow that tht*
ear of a critic mtist be oftentimes affiir-ted by the un-
gramaiAtlcal speech, erroneous accent or mLspronuu''i-
ation of the unlearned or careless, but I do not con-
cede that the incorrect predominates, or that the
women who display an '•inferiority in speech" are
by any means in the majority. Mr. White q,tiotes
passages from Martih ChuzzlvtaU. an 1 then adds :
" But this is no cariuature ! I hear si>eech like thiH
daily, and the contamination of it has readied even
to the most cultivated social circles." I think per-
haps there are a few cultured circles to which Mr.
White has not yet Obtained the entree, and which
have escaped the contagion to whUrh he refers.
Allow me to quote a line or two from Dickons' pro-
face to .Ifarfin ChuzzUioU: "Thi American portion
of thisstory is in no other respect a caricature than
it is an exhibition, fni^ the mo5t part, of a ludicrous
si de, ONLY, (rieUt or wrong, it must be emphasized.
Mr. White, ) of the American fb aracter : of that side
which waa four and twenty years ago. from Its nature
mo.Ht obtrusive and most likely to be seen by such
travelers aa yoimg Martin and Mark Taplev."
And who were they ? Twd young men w^io, from
misfortune, were obliged to cross the ooe-ui in the
steerage, and when arrived in New- York, to seek out.
the plainest and commonest of jrespec table boarding-
houses. \\*hat facilities had tlley for meeting other
than plain, uncultivated men and women T And
when their ill fortune carried them to Eden. In that
woeful place where men and women, calloused by
want and sickness and privation, had grown careless
of looks and mannersjand speech, think you tho indi-
viduals there introduced true specimens of the re-
fined and cultured of the land ?
Many foreign words have crept Into our language.
and force themselves upon the tongue when that
"unruly member' ^as been wielded but in the
smooth fiow of Kn^Iteth sounds. X take It as no dis-
play of general iguorance when a person unac-
?[uainted witli the French accent or pronunciation
ails to make " De-Broose' from " Des-Brosses," or
*' Tare Hote" from "Terre Haute." The pronunci-
ation of names of streets and towns becomes aadly
perverted by car conductors and brakemen, who
are forced to give them some kind of utterance, per-
chance never navingjheard them correctly rendered.
Thus error leaps from tongue to tongue and becomes,
for a preat many tho accepted form, but not for the
inquiring ones, who will walk all around a doubt-
ful word before giWng it questionable " utterance. It
is a natural instinct for the unlearned to naturalize
words as much as possible, and to give them plain
home-bred sounds.
It has been my fortune to listen to conversations
between English and American women, possessed of
equal educational advantages and equal natural
ability, and the " evenness and ease," the correctness
of modulation and pureuess of tone, I was proud to
see was displayed most noticeably by my own conn-
trywomen. It is no foolish vanity that forbid.'iour
accepting meekly the icriticism which we feel Is unjtist.
All uiat we are we owe to our noble countr)*men, .
who, with their means and by their influence, have
placed the facilities for self -culture and self-improve-
ment within the reach of all the young women in our
land. And poorly indeed have werepaid the honor
of such men asVassar, Durand, Cornell. Sage, and the
noble many who have labored for, and dying pro-
vide for, the advancement and improvement of
American young women. Yes, poorly Indeed have
we repaid tneir efforts. If we merit the accusation of
showing such great " inferiority in speech."
But we know that it Is not meriteo, and trust that
Mr. White, with the true chivalry accorded by the
strong to the weak, will not from the elevated cita-
del or his superior ' wisdom, overlook entirely our
merits. We do not "parley Fran^ais," neither do
we " sprecken Deutsch,'^ but since we first began
otir ehildiah prattle at a mother's knee, English, and
English only, has fallen from our lips. Until the
fiow of worus caught, not from bookft, but from
other lips, animated often with j^e fervor of enthu-
siasm has become to us but the eipreselon of U^ing
thoughts and vivid fancies, and when the tongue is
burning to express these, think you then that the
speaker, as ailirmed, " tries to be exact," to be ex-
ceptionally correct, to talk like a book, to speak
Dictiona^ English ?" No, no, " Language," u some
on* has said. "^thesoU ofthongittT" and our own
is the riebeet of all sarth's loams, In spite of the
stray atones that we often stumble upon, in fii» way

THE NAnONAL GUARD.
THB SQUABBLE IN THE VPTEENTH ASSEMBLY
DISTRICT.
To tJu Editor of (V Xew- York Times :
In 1S71, under the authority of the State,
Convention, Republican organization in the City of
New- York was completed and went into effect. In
the Fifteenth Assembly District the late Henry
D. Laupaugh, Esq., was elected President of the as-
sociation, which, to the extent of its membership,
was composed of the Intelligent, reputable Republi-
can citiiens of the district, and was acoomplislxing all
that political organimtion may legitimately accom-
plish.
Persons not living in the district, having command-
ing inftuence in Republican organization through the
power of party patronage, sought to control
local action for selflsh purposes, and being unable to
do so while intelligent men and methods prevailed,
began the work of disintegrating and destrojing the
association by defeati'ig Its candidate.-*, and
dictating who should be its delegates to
represent it abroad I In the conventions of the
party. This officious outside meddling interference
in local matters culminated in 1874 in sending a
committee into the district (it was said) to settle all
differences, aud hold a fair primary election. The
first action of this commifte" wj»s to 'strike off from
the roll 57 of tlie best-known, substantial, and use-
ful Republicans of the district, on the pretense ttiat
they could not find by what right tiiey were
enrolled, though they were among the onginally
enrolled members ot the association, as flxe^
by authority of the State Convention. The next
step was to add to the roll 140 nersont. no individual
of whom, so far as any reliable evidence waa con-
cerned, ever voted a Republican ticket in his life ; on
the contrary, all the evidence was that they were
rvemocrats of the moet disreputable sort. The roll
being prepared, the primarv was ordered at
Muuziuger's Hall, in the Twenty-ninth Police
Precini-t. though tho Fifteenth r>istrict is exclusively
in the Twentieth- Precinct, where the officers knew
the citizens, and would be likely to see fair play.
Joe and Mike Cobum with their forces were invoked,
and were on han<l. and about 1<X» dog-tighten* Hnd
vagabonds from the shuns were arranged in column,
and voted and repeated us often as they liked, (one of
them eight limes.) to the exclusion of decent Republi-
cans who were still left on the roll. Thus the primary
was carried, and the assofiation d*»livered over to the
control of an ignorant, irresponsible rablde. and this
rabble constituted th« diionlerly meetina. in ih**
name of the Repnbliran Party, noticed in The TiiiE.s
of the 31st of .luly.
In regard to the primary election held last niijht.
and noticed in all the daily pajwh* this morning.
there were more Democrats tlian Republicans al
lowed to vote ; th*Te was repeating ; nuint>erA of
Republicans of goo<l repute were not allowed to
vote, on the pretext that their names were not on
the roll, though they were on the last time
any respon.^iblo person saw it ; and others
were rejected oni account of being on
.lome other roll. of. w^ich I know nothing. Th« Re-
publicans of the district Itnow nothim: of the merit.?
of the quarrel goin^-on in the name of tho party, and
believe there is no m-rit in or about it. It is very
unjn.st for the press, by noticing it, to give tho ini-
presKion that the Kepuhlirans of the di.sirict are re-
sponsible or in any manner connected with it,

CITT AJO) STATE — PROMPT RESPONSE OP
MEN AND OmCERS T<? THB CALL— THE
BBEAE-DOWN OP GEN, WYLIE'S DEPART-
MENT.
Gen. Shaler, commanding the First DlTirion
ojf the National Qnard of this State, has made his re-
port to Adjt-Gen. Townsend of the movements of
tktops and general operations of his command during
the period In which riots in this State and City were
apprehended. It shows a gratifying promptness and
soldierly spirit on the part of the men and officers,
and a lamentable break-down and utter collapse of
the Ordnance and Quartermaster's department, over
TJhich Gen. Wylle presides. Gen. Shaler states that
alt 5 P. M- on the 23d tilt, he received a telegram
from General Hesd-qtiarters directing him to have
his entire command In readiness, and hold them sub-
ject to the commands of the Governor of the State.
Orders were immediately issued that the division
assemble at the armories of the several organizations
without delay, such orders being sent by messenger
to the nearest armories, and by telegraph to the more
distant ones. The troops commenced to assemble
immediately, and during the night five of the DHd-
slon Staff, and as much as one-half of the entire divi-
sion, bad collected in their armories. In some of the
armories small details had previously assembled for
protection of State property therein. In consequence
f the threatening aspect of affairs In this City.
t 4:30 A. M., on the 2-tth, Gen. Shaler sent out
[rders to the various commanders to report at 8
clock the number present and absent In the several
irganlzHtlons of their respective brigades, and what
as required in each to completely equip it for field
service. From the reports sent In It appeared that
of the First Brigade there were 783 men and officers
present : of the Second, 1,080 ; of the Third, 1,247 ;
<^f artillery and cavalry companies, 166; total,
3,296.
At 1 P. M. of the same day (the 24th) Gen. Shaler
received orders from General Head-quarters to for-
irardthe Ninth Regiment to Albany to report to
lifajoi^GeiL J. B. Carr. At 4:36 P. M. the regiment
left the Grand Central Depot with about 500 officers
« nd men, supplied with 40 rounds of ammonitlon,
but without rations, overcoats, blankets, haversacks,
cr canteens.
Gen. Shaler states that In the absence of instruc-
tions from General Head-qttarters on the subject of
rations, the commanding oflttcers of the various or-
ganizations in the armories were instructed verbally
tyhimto make the best and most economical ar-
rangements practirable for rationing the men. Burh
arrangements as were made he states at length. The
break -down of the Quartermaster's Department
seems to hnve be(»n complete. Gen. Wylie would ap-
pear from Gen. Shaler's report to have done nothing
at all, though he receives from the State a very good
sailarr. The'following Is the report upon the subject :
I •* Upon the subject of equipments for field service,
tfwo visits in person were made to the office of the
Acting Quartermsster-Goneral, and the following cora-
ipunications were addressed to that officer on the
morning of the *J4th :

pbtain a few indispensable articles, but without suc-
eesji."
I l>uring the morning of the 24th Mayor Ely sent to
^ien. Shaler a reiiuest that, in the event of the Gov-
ernor ordering a di)fmt.vi.'il of the organisations under
^ho General's command before the evening of the
next day, he [Gen. ShalcrJ retain under arms and
ready for active duty not less than three regimeuta
bf infantry and a batterj- of artillery,
i At 2 o'clock on the morning of the 25th Gen.
halcr received orders from Albany to send a regi-
nent to Buffalo, and in accordance therewith the
ighth Regiment was detailed for that duty. Owing
o the impossibility of obtaining transportation the
t'giment couJd not be sent off until 10 o'clock; At
0:45 the Cifhth R<-giment got off with 350 officers
nd men, and 40 rounds of ammunition, but no ra-
ions. .So far arrangements luwi teen made for sup-
plying raticms to the men In their armories only.
I Vhe H o'elwk report for the morning showetl that
tiicre were present for duty in tho several armoriew
of the First Brigade l,15H'men and officers: of the
kecond, TIG; of the third, 1,432; cavalo' and
krtillery. 511: total, 3.8IS. During the djiy a oer-
fontki inspection was made of the armories, and or-
ders issued looking to the protection of the prop-
erty of regiments ■ which had been ordered away.
At the request of the chief of onlnance, the Wash-
ington Grey Tronp of Cavalry was ordtred to report
:o him for guard duty al 2 P. M.
In the afternoon the President of the Board of
['"lire sent a formal requisition to Gen. .Shaler, In-
dorsed bv the Mayor, that the Seventh. Twenty-sec-
pnd, Eiglith. And 'Seventy-first regiments be ordered
to hold thetuselves in readiness to obey the orders of
the board, as trouble ~ was apprehended from the
meeting wlilch was to be held In the evening at
jTompkins-square. Gen. Shaler replied that the
regiments were in readiness at their armories, except
the Eighth, sent to Buffalo, and for that he aubsti-
tuted the Twelfth Regiment. Owing to the danger
which was threatenen of a disturbance during the
Dight, it was deemed best to distribute a supply of
immunition to troops in quarters, and 20 rounds per
man were accordingly issued to the infantrv and
ravalry, and 10 rounds per gun to the artillery.
But at 10:10 P. M. tho President of the Board of
police telegraphed that the meeting had dispersed
and no serious disturbance had taken place, and a
;hort time after, that the troops need not be longer
kept np.
On the morning of the 26th. thotigh all danger- of
serious di-sturbunces seemed to have passed. It was
deemed wise to keep the regiments named- on duty.-;
jready to respond to any call which the Police Board
might make upon them. Next day (the 27th) the
Board did not think it necessary to keep them on
fluty any longer,* afid so notified Gfen. Shale**, at tho
jtame time conveying the cardial thanks of the board
to the regiments. At midday on the 2"th, through
the courtesy of the Department of Public Works, the
isxelusive use of the free baths of the City were
iendered to the meml>ers of the division from 4 P. M.
bf that day until midnizht. Assignments were at
jonce made and hours designated for their use by each
organization. The men very generally availed
themselves of the privil^e and were much
refreshed thereby. At 9:45 P. M. orders from Gen-
ieral Head-quarters directing tho dLsmissal of the
troops were received by telegraph, and the command-
ing officers were immediately notified and ordered to
[return to the Chief of Ordnance the ammunition re-
cently issued. On the 28th the Ninfh Regiment
ifrom Albany arrived back and wore dismissed. On .
Ithe 20th the Eighth Regiment from Syracuse re-
jtumed. and were also immediately dismissed, orders
for each regiment having been sent to their respec-
tive armories before their arrivaL
I Gen. Shaler. after thanking the various officers of
the division for their prompt response to the call of
duty, concludes his report with the foUowing sug-
gestions :
" Permit mo In dosing tlds report to Invite your atten-
tion to what must be considered by every officer of ex-
perience an imperative need to the KutlonaJ Guard of

CUSTEffS BATTLE-FIELD.
THE ^ECENE OP THE AWFUL MASSACRE-
BURIAL OP MEM BLADT BT CKA2Y HORSE'S
BAKD 1^1.876.
Correspondence of the Chusago Tribune.
Camp on the Custzb Battle-tield. on the >
I Little Big Horn, July 21. ]
Gen. Sheridan And party, with fotir companies
of the ITfth Cavklry, left, camp on Tongue River the
19tb inst,, arriving in camp here this morning. Tour
correspondent. Arriving the eveulngprevibtts, pitched
hia solitary tent j (consisting of rubber coat and saddle-
blanketa) at the jaite of Crazy Horse's Village, being
the first reochedi of the series of Indian villages as
one approaches joina down stream ; hence being the
village charged by Major Reno with his detachment
ofthe Seventh Cavalry that memorable June day in
187G.
Leaving Tongtie River, the trail led along the base
of the mountains until Little Big Horn ^ver was
reached, when the river waa followed to the scene of
encounter. The country en route was of tho same
general character as that from Clear Creek to the
Tongue River, being of tho finest description for
stock. The distance was estimated at 60 miles.
Most of the way the grass was fresh and bright as in
Spring, and from two to four feet high. This, of
eourse. was along the valley through which the river
runs. On the northerly side the plain was very high
and rolling, where the grass, although not so t^Ul.
was yet better for stock, while further back, beyond
this high prairie, is a strip between the Little Big
Horn and Tongue Rivers, mtich like the Bad
Lands. The country on the southerly .side for
many miles is of the same general description, bnt
ijotter in quality. This country on both sides of the
river is 8upei^>1y watered by numerous small
streams, tributaries of the Little Big Horn. Out of
these semi-bad ; binds, on the northerly side of the
river, rise the Wolf Mountains, about the mineral
character ot which so much hns been said. These
so-called mountains are tmworthy the name, being
simply hills, fr^m 300 to 600 feet in height, the
composition of which is generally of the same char-
Mter M the surroundinp plain— that is. red earth,
flay, and sandstone. This formation is generally re-
garded as antagonistic to gold deposits, and it is en-
tirely safe to say that these mountains are no excep-
tion to the general rule.
It will be remembered that it was to these moun-
tains (so called) thht the famous stampede was made
from Deadwood last Winter, in which so many lost
their lives from exposure. In truth, it is now set-
tled that the reports of gold therein in cii-culation,
and which caused ithe stampede, originated with the
stock dealers of Deadwood City. Black Hills, there
being required fpr such purposes much stock, and a
demand, of course, catising a ready and high market.
This was especially desirable in the Black Hills at
tliat time, as stock was a drug on the market, and
grain 10 centa per pound, and bay $120 per ton.
I liavo to-day Kone cAfnlly over the scene of the
Reno defeat anq CuJiter massacre in company with a
Sioux warrior who took an active part in both—
"War Club" by name. Tho Indian villages at-
tacked were seven In number, with Cmzy Horse and
hia Sintix on tho upper side of the semicircle in
which they were placed, and the Cheyennes on the
V^^ ■'<ie. ^th the Uncpapas next, then comlne
the Sans- Arcs and, Minneconjona next in the row —
tho semicircle of which conformed to the bend in the
river at that pohit; and being close to the trunk of
the river- Major Reno charyed the village of
Crazy Horse from above, whDe Gen. Custer was
to have charged the Cheyennes at the other end;
but before the ford was reached, he being on tho
other side from tho village, Crazy Hbrse had Major
Reno whipped and corraled in the high hills oppot«Ue,
when the entire force attacked Custer with the sad
result too well known. To-day a detail of 14 men
from each company waa made to bury the dead— the
dead comrades of Gena. Terry and Gibbon and Major
Reno — this belne the third attempt to consign all
that was \^St of them to their last sad. homely restuig-
place. It required the evldenco of my own senses
to believe this true, and I do not regard it as In
nny measure my duty to suppress this sad tale.
The officers who jwrmitted this should bo taught,
by the aroused civUued sentiment of the land, that
such conduct will not be permitted to go unnoticed
and uucondemne<l, If their own human and soldierly
Instincts are not sufficient to spur them to a different
courhe. Let it be remembered that Gens. Terrv- and
Gibhnn marched frrn^i the field with 1,700 men. and
tho Indiana had retreated— no foe was in their front.
TBE MEETING AT OCEAN GROVE.
SECOND DAT OF THE TOUNO PEOPLE'S CHRIS-
TIAN CONVENTION — LARGE ATTENDANCE.
The second day's proceedings of the Young
People's Christian Convention, at Ocean Grove, yes-
terday, was more largely attended than the first day.
A large number of delegates from Western cities
were present. A faith-meeting waa held at 0 o'clock
in the Tabernacle, and was presided over by Thomas
Ha^TS, of Boston. After several appeals foe
prayer, Mr. Hanis read a portion of the 116th
Psalm. Short speeches were made by J. Morris,
of Poughkeepsle [ B. B. Chamberlln, of Syracuse ;
Dr. "Ward, of Xewnrk ; Rev. J. Simmons, of Brook-
lyn, and Mr. Brinn, of Troy, the meeting closing
with player by Rev. E. H. Stokes and Rev. Dr.
Hughes, of Philadelphia. At 10:30 o'clock the regu-
lar session was opened with singing and prayer by
Rov. Dr. Simmons, tho meeting being presided over by
George A. Hall, State Secretary of the Young Men's
Christian As«>clation of New- York. He read
a poTTion of the twenty-fifth chapter of St.
Matthew, commencing at the fourteenth verse,
the audience reading every alternate verse. Rev. Dr.
Miller then addressed the meeting on whst consti-
tutes tho work for young people, how they should
work, and tho several fields that lay open to them.
He claimed that the young people could do more in
the Church of God than old persons ; they
had the strength and wero the leading spirit.
He hsd only to ask them to see how many young
men stood at the bead of the Methodist Church ;
look at tho number of young ministers, and ask
themselves why. Beeanse, he said, they can do bet-
ter service. Tho very first thing that vouni;
people should do is' to bo natural. *Some
young people when thev get religion retire, as it
were, from their usual Hfeiike way This was wrong.
They should be as livelv as ever. 'W they were fond
of playing hall before tnoy received the blessing of
God, they should be afterward. If they were natural
they would bo able to accomplish 'much. There
should be no "old fogyism." Nothing was mnre
important than young people's meetings in the
church. They should establish meetings tn the old
difitrict school-house, tents, nnd field -meetings. Per .
sonal effort was another important duty ; relleious
letter-writing, silent prayer, and such like, should be
the young people's duty. At the conclusion of Mr.
Miller's remaras, the congregation were asked to
make Boggefitions as to how the work should be
carried on. One said "by untiring consecration."
another, "thesendlng of tracts." others "temper-
ance aid and thus win souls ;" " requcrt them toread
tracts and give their opinion," "the study of the
Bible." "circulating of good works," "speclnjwork
fer speelftl classes. ' "tfie temperance cause." '"la-
bor among the young." "visitinc the Rick in afflic-
tion," "drilling them in praver." "makiim them
ushers at meetings." Prof. "\ViUiam GTpischer
closed by Ringing "Here am I : send me."
An " exT»erien<« meeting"' was held in the afternoon,
Mr. Hall presiding. After sbiging " Nothinsc but
Leaves," apas^xe of Scripture from the eleventh
chapter of St. Mark wan read, which was followed bv
an appeal for true belief in desire, prayer, and faith*.
Short experiences were delivered by Rev. Dr. Stokes,
Mr. Hall, Rev. Mr. Hughes, and o'thers. after which
themeeting was adjourned. The evening exercises
consisted of a regular "prayer and promise meet-
ing. " a large ntunber seeking the altar for nraycr and
salvation.
The Young People's Camp Jfeeting. under the
auspices of thejYoung Mens Christian Association of
the several Extern States, was culminated in a
grand revival meeting last night. At the evening
meeting in the grand pavUton. by Thomas
Harrison, the young Evangelist, about 3,000
young persons wero present. Prayers were
offered by Rev. W. E. Randolph, of Wisconsin, and
Rev. Gooige Hughes. Exhortations were made by
Rev. J. SymonR. Kev. D^ R. Lowrie orought the
Seetinga ef the Young People's meeting at
enville, H". J. After the sincclng of
"Jesus, Saviour of My Soul," tho young
ovangeHst addressed the vast congregation
nufoldiug the manifold power of Christ, arid urging
those present who felt the need of tho all-saving
power to come and kneel at the altar. His appe u
affected all within , the sound of his voice,
and in a | few moments tho altar rail
was crowded with supplicants at the throne
of grace. The meeting promises to be
one of the greatest revivals ever held at Ocean
Grove. Among tho active workers present were
Rev. George Hughes, Rev. George A. Hall. Rev. E.
H. Stokes, W. Peck Smith. Rev. J. C. Cowan, of
Jersey City, and othora. Th^^eetlng was closed by
prayer and benediction by WiHiam P. Corbett.

SENTIMENTS EXPRESSED, AlfD SOME UT-
TERANCES NOT READHjT TO BE AC-
CEPTED.
There were several brilliant and ©flfective
speeches delivered at tho Ohio Republican State
Convention in Cleveland on Wednesday. Tho lead-
ing points of the remarks of Gen. C. H. Grosvenor.
the temporary Chairman, were well set forth In our
special telegrams. First, therefore, to be especially
noted in this issue is the address of Gen. James A.
Garfield on taking the chair as permanent Chairman
of the conventioiL He is thtis reported by the
Leader .■
GEN. OARPIELD'S SPEECH.
Let roe say that nothing Is m.ore marked in the
differencoB between tho great political parties than
this : that the Republican Party represents in its
conventions its best thoughts and the best thoughts,
as I believe, of tho nation. It is a peculiarity of our
political enemies that for many years they have been
governed by the most violent elements of their party.
The violent reactionary elements of the Democrats
have commended their policy and dictated their
opinions for many years in tho pa.st. In the days
of secession tho most violent of that party led and
dragooned behind them all the better elements and
brought their party into line after its worst thoughts.
It was so in the days of recon.struction ; it has been
80 ever since, and It vras; markedly so one week ago
to-day, when the Democratic Party, representing the
Stat© of Ohio, met at a time when a great and new
peril threatened our people — a peril peculiar and
alarminff in its character ; a peril that paralyzed the
great industries of the nation by stopping all labor
everywhere in Its processes, And that convention,
instead of speaking one brave word In favor of law
and order and tlie rights of labor, and the rights of
the people under the law. commenced by ignoring in
the most cowardly manner the ^reat' danger, and
dared to insinuate that all tho evils that havo fallen
on this country had fallen upon it because of the Re-
publican Party.
They dared to talk of the pauperization of labor as
the cause of the great strike. They talk of the pau-
perization of labor, who for 50 mortal years have
done all in their power to put one-fifth of the laborers
of America under chains, and buy them, sell them,
whip them, scourge them at the will of capi-
talists, [great applause.] a policy that degraded labor
everywhere. And then, after prating about the pau-
perization of labor, in tho same breath thev demand
a repeal of all laws that the RcpubUcan Party have
enacted to protect' labor in this country by giving to
our laoorers a fair chance torcompele in the markets
of the world with the labor of the Old World. I no-
tice that as au Instance of the worst and most violent
element of the Democratic Party. ffiii(lini» its counsels
and moldina its policy, and they have done more. In
the same platform, only a week ago lo-day, they uuder-
look to shake the solid foundations of our pubUc peace
by poisoning. If they could, the very fountain of our
political power, by asserting that our Chief ISiagis-
trate, the man of our choice, was fraudulently inaug-
urated, and attempted to throw a cloud of doubt
upon his title to be President of the United States.
\\ ith what crace do they say that ! They who sought
by every means that all the worst elements of Ameri-
can society could produce to cany their man Into
power, and when they saw they were going to fail,
sought, by "the use of money in *s distant Stite.
to buy a Presidential Elector, and thus purchase for
gold the highest office In the gift of the Republic,
Failing in that, they sought to prevent the counting
ofthe Electoral vote in accordance ■with the Consti-
tution and laws of the Republic, and threatened ci\-il
war if the count should proceed in an orderly
manner.
In order to prevent that war a special tribunal was
pro\-ided to determine the great questions of consti-
tutional law that arose on that Kuoiect, and although
as honorable men they were bound to stand by the
result of that tribunal, when that result wa.s an-
nounced the most violent element of the party deter-
mined, finding the result of that tribunal would bo
unfavornbie to them, that no President should be
inaugurated ; that chaos should come in place of
onier. and violence and anarchy in this Centennial
year of our historj-. And I take this occasion to say
b*fTe that immortal honor Is due to the 40 men who
fought in arms against us, rebels as they were once,
who broke from the solid ranks of the Northern
Democratic le'adcrs and said that faith should be
kept and the count should be completed, and the
President should be inaugurated, whether it was the
man of their choice or not.
I take this occasion to say in the heart of this old
AboUtion Reserve that no 'true American will ever
forget the honor due to those Southern men who
helped thus to save the country i^ainst their North-
em Democratic leaders. N ow. gentlemen, over
against this rule of tho worst, the old Republican
Party again steps to the front to take its place in the
line of great action. It comes before the country
with 21 years of honorable history behind it : ft
comes before the country with tradition and achieve-
ments of which it is proud ; proud that it dared to
face rebellion ana war. and that It dared to
go to the bottom and to pluck out by tho roots the
guilty cause of rebellion and war. and to say that all
men should be free ; proud that it dared to build up
and reonranize the Republic on the btusls of equal
ri2;hts, civil and political, to all men without regard
to race or color — proud of all these achievements.
Ready to have done its duty in the days of war. now
equallv ready to do its duty in the days of peace. I
am glad to say that the Republican Party is not a
party that is guided by the waKe behind its craft.
but It prefers to stand on the^bow of its ship and
gtiide its course by the great interests of the nation
as they arise. Because we once led in war ; because
we learned militarj* methods and pursued them
courageously, we do not need always to bo in
arms and pursue military methods. The Re-
publican Party is able, when it comes where the
roads fork and sees the way the new interests of
the nation require it. to see that the time
ought to come when all the military methods of war
are to be folded like a proud old banner that has done
its dtity in the fight, and to enter ui>on the processes
of peace ; and those processes are to remit all the
•States. North and South, to the equal right of self-
government. We hold the equal rights of citizens
bofore the law ; we equally hold the rights of the
Stat«a before the Constitution and the laws, and
when we remit those States to their own self-govern-
ment, however badly they may behave in their local
concerns, we do not any the less hold to all the great
sanctions or principles that were adopted when we
made the amendments to tho Constitution. We do
not propose to lay down any one of them, or to in-
vade the right of any State.
Now. I doRire to say witb no reserves that I am
-glad that our own chosen chief of the nation, out of
our own State, from among us, has had the courage
to see the epoch in which he lives, and dared to do
what be believed the interests of the nation require.
You must not expect of him— because he Is human—
that every act of his will accord with all your opin-
ions or rame. I do not ask thXt of any Pi-esident,
nor do I say it in advance nor afterward for any man
that has ever lived : but I do say that bis heart beats
In its old place — a Republican, with the love of his
countr>' in his heart ; and it is our duty to see that
he Is fairly, independently, and earnestly supported
in the struggle he is carrying on in the nation.
I have but another word to say. In these days of
political cowardice the very gods look down in ad-
miration upon a man or a party that has the courage
of its opinion and dares to ran the risk of dying for
the sake of beinr right. We have spoken as' a great
National Republican Party only 12 months ago.
Those words of ours are on record. We have spoken
for honest ballots, for honest money, for honest
finances, and for the public faith ; and I trust that all
we shall say to-day will' be in- the line of all those
great truths that we have pledged our support to in
the past. tApplause.J Detaining you with but an-
other word, 1 asra^n thank you fur the honor you
have aoon fit to tender me. and express my gratifica-
tion of feeling at l>eing one of this great company of
worthy Repuolicans. I assume the duties of 'the
chair, and ask that the order of business be given
me.
JUDGE west's acceptance.
After his nomination for Governor, Hon. William
H. West was introduced, and warmly expressed his
thanks for the honor thus conferred and the hearty
greeting extended to him. Ho also said: "I have not
had an opportunity toread the platform of principles
put forth. The substance, however, has been stated.
So far as I understand them, X most cordially and
heartily approve of its sentiments. I desire, there-
fore, to say that in so far aa in me lies the ability, I
shall give to otur present Administration an honest
and fair trial and a thorough teat. [Applause.] A
house^ divided against itself cannot stand. Unless
America shall be reconciled and pacified our Republic
is no more. [Applause.] While I cling to the right
of Federal intervention to enforce the constitutional
guarantees of liberty, justice, and protection, I prefer
that the several States may themselves so en-
force in good faith these great guarantees that
no occasion for Federal intervention may arise.
Touching the question of the currency I shall not
pause at this time to speak. It is too complicated
and too vast. I have no doubt tho committee have
done wisely and done well. No contraction, no ex-
pansion, no depreciation, is my motto. [Great ap-
plause.] [How about the school question I asked a
voice.] My friend calls my attention to the school
question. My motto upon that Is, No division of the
school fund. [Applause.] No support of sectarian
or parochial schools by public taxation. [Applause. ]
No alliance between Church and State. No encroach-
ment of either upon the domain of the other. T^e
proprieties of tho occasion admonish mo that I should
not BX>eak at length, for if I should branch out I might
attempt to indulge In eulogv upon the RepubUcan
Party. It needs no oulorar. If 1 am to attempt such
a thing, I should only point to the monument pre-
served by the energies and conflicts of that glorious
organization. I would point to the colossal goddess
tfurmounting the dome of our temple and holding
aloft that noble ensign that has floated over so many
fields in triumph without a star dimmed or stripe
erased. [Applause.] I would point to the motmtam
of shackles stricken from the limbs of 5,000.000 of
men [applause] over whom 200 years of bondi^ had
rolled, who now, by the intervention of the Kepub-
liean Party, in the words of the great Irish orator,

SENATOR STANLST UATTHEWB* SPKXOB.
The principal speech at the ratifloatioB mMtinf tm
the evening was made by Hon. Stanley Matthews,
United States Senator from Ohio, who expressed
himself very freely upon several topics — upon soxao
in a manner not calculated to win t|ie indorsement
of cool-headed Republicans, who care mon for tho
welfare of the country and the honor of tho party than
for mere temporary advantages or political trinmphs.
Among other things, he said :
Personally, it gives me infinite satisfaction to re-
call what the convention of to-day has said and em-
phasized by its nominations. In'the first place, gen-
tlemen, we have an illustration in the present action
of the convention itself of the practical workings of
the ideas which have been put forth within the past
year as the ideal of civil service reform. We
have had to-day, gentlemen, in this goodly
State, a representative body con^sting of
661 delegates, coming from remote parta of the State
at their own expense, not one of whom was a Federal
office-holder, and yet there never was a fuller or a
better representation, or a more enthuslsstic interest
manifested than was shown tCMlay by tho delegates
who were the memltera of this convention. I ven-
ture to say. without disparagement to any of its
predecessors, either of its own i>arty or of the op-
posing party, that there never was assembled In a
politioal convention a bodv of 661 members more In-
telligent more senfelble of the re.sponsihilities tinder
which they acted, more patriotic and more intent on
the public good than that body which is still In ses-
sion to-night.
THE CAN-I>n>ATE.
Now, my friends, let me say a word about the can-
didates. There has been presented to the public of
the State of Ohio for their sufl^age as a candidate for
Governor the name of*WiIliam H. West, of Bellefon-
talne. [Applause.] I wish you all knew him as ho
ought to be known. I wish you all knew him as I
know him — a man without fear and without re-
proach, a man above temptation, incorruptible in In-
tegrity, with Right as keen for tho truth in thottght
a.s his vision is imperfect for material things ; and a
heart that throbs with* every honest and generous
impulse that belongs to the best quality of human na-
ture.
THE PLATFORM.
Allow me to say a few things upon tho platform
and principles which are announced by the'Bepabli-
can Party. I shall not detain you by going into de-
tails for the purpose of considering Item by item the
several propositions which are contained in its enun-
ciation of doctrine. There are two or three which
are prominent and principal, and which I shall not
more than sufaciently discuss for the time being. In
the first place, allow me to say that this convention,
in vissw of the facts connected with the promises by
the present Administration of the difficulties
which existed In some of the Southern States
has seen fit to announce its entire con-
fidence in the wisdom and patriotism of
the President, and its support and approval
of his policy and efforts to pacify the entire country.
Now I do not believe in the doctrine, since slavery
has been abolished, since all cause of soctlonal
trouble has been removed, that there is any reason
why there should exist in this country any more par-
ries drawn on sectional lines or drawn on lines
based upon color. I believe that Instead of that the
sound and wholesome condition of things in party
aspect would be. instead of having a party line frovci
the East to the West, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
drawn along the line that makes the boundary be-
tween the free and slave States. Mason & Dixon's
IJne, and that we ought to have the line of parties
run the other way — ^run North and Sotith, dividing
every State, dividing « the white people, di-
viding the black people. according to
their reason, their judgment, their intelli-
gence, each man voting according to his own Inde-
pendent judgment, without fear, favor, or intimida-
tion, or any other control, separating not upon a
rare line, not upon a line of religion, not upon an
accidental line, but fumply dividing the South, differ-
ing in their reason and their judgment — fa Voice.
'■ Good."] — a national party in everv State, to which
shall belong both white and black, ^here has been a
doctrine preached recently about which I desire upon
this first public occasion, where I have the oppor-
tunity, to prote^^t against, that there is a necessary
and a radica' difference between the people of the
North and the people of the South. I do not believe
it. I believe that since slavery has been abolished
that we are, and of right ought to be. a homogeneous
people, divided in Louisiana, and in MisEissii)pi, and
in Alabama, in Kentucky and Tennessee, iust as we
are divided in Ohio, and in the other free States,
upon questions of public policy affecting the State
and the National Govemmeats, and that Is the se-
curity which we have for the right of a white man.
and the right of the Mack man, and the right of all
men. for it is the natural government of a free peo-
ple by themselves.
MORS SILVER DOLULRS.
I hasten on to a topic that I know engages your
thotights more than any great party question. I
recognize, my friends, most seriously and most care- 'j' speak to the people of Ohio, I epeak to the Ameorieaa
What have tho Democrats ever doa* foi
fully, the presence of a condirion of things altogether
unexampled in the history of the civilized world ; one
that striKes me with awe ; that makes me feel that
we are in the presence of a superior power ; that we
are not altogether in our own nands ; that we are, in
fact, charged a deep and solemn responsibility for the
solution of great questions of social Interest, affect-
ing your happiness and mine, affecting vour subsis-
tence., your right to earn your daily bread ; afiTecting
the whole labor and industrial system of this coun-
trj-. [A voice, " A dollar a day won't get it for us.']
That depends upon how big it Is. If it was one of
those old dollars like that [showing silver dollar] [a
voice. " Throw it over here.''] It is the only one I
have, and I am going to keep that for a nest-
egg. I cannot givo yon this one. but I am in
favor of coining so many .of them that you
shall have one, too. [Applause.] More than that,
my friends, I am in favor of bringing about such a
condition of things as you can. as I know yon want
to, by honest exertion, and your physical and intel-
lectual faculties, earn dollar and dollar by the day for
Yourselves, for your families, and for your children.
I A voice — "Greenbacks?"] Yes, greenbacks will be
just as good if ^ey bring the dollar. I am not par-
ticular. I am in favor of silver and of gold and of
greenbacks, and as many as are necessary to oil the
machinery whieh shall keep the great business ofthe
world in free and harmonious action, so that every
man shall be busy in keepimr up with the wheels or
indust^. Now, I tell you how I propose to bring it
about, because you are men who have too much intel-
ligence to be satisfied with mere declarations of srm-
pathy for laboring men. [A voice — "You *re right
now."] — that is, mere words; that is. mere straw ; that
is. mere chaff, f A voice — "We want facts."] Those
professions are cheap ; the tbing is to know what we
are going to do about It.
THB PROPOSED BtTREAU OF rKDUSTET.
In the ftrst place, it Is proposed by the Kepabllean
Convention to-day, In the name of the Republican
people of Obio, that Congress shall organise a Bureau
of Industry. Kow, lot us see -what that means. We
have what Is called a Bureau of Agriculture. It
does not amount to much. I agree. In fact. It only
amounts to a sort of seed-distributing concern, but
the idea of it is this -. When it was originated the law-
makers of the dav were impressed with the idea that
the Government liad some connection with the agri-
cultural labor of the countrv, and. therefore, in tho
interest of that labor, they organized a bureau for tho
purpose not merely of collecting and distributing
seeds, bnt for the additional purpose of collocting all
the Information, all the statistics, all the
facts affecting the condition of that la-
bor in tho East and in tho West and in
the Korth and in the South, so that by publications,
by reports* by information, and by representation, tho
condition of that labor might be known from the la-
borers themselves, and out of these may grow up a
true, sound, and valuable system of knowledge that
would affect the very condition for the better.
Now, it is proposed to enlarge that bureau so that
instead of being confined to mere agricultural labor,
it sh^l cover the whole domain of labor of ever^' de-
scription ; the mechanical labor of ail artizans. the
day labor and everything connected with the Indus-
trial system of theX'nited i^tates, extending from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from the coast of Labrador to
the Gulf of Mexico, and if any laboring man In the
United States has any plan, proposition, complaint,
or any appeal to make to the Govemment of his
country, there stands an organ of that Government to
express to him the idea that that Government does
not rezard him as an outlaw and an outcast, but a
mm ol fiesh and blood and bone that needs his daily
bread and meat to live on, and they do or will en-
deavor by everv means that ho can surest — ^mind
you, that ho can suggest — by which that ^vemment
shall exercise its power, its wtole power. Its consti-
tutional power, to bring into harmony with the ne-
cessity of his existence all the forces of society. [A
voice, " Whoso bill Is it ? "] I do not care whose bill
it Is. Whatever bill it is that will provide that —
(A voice, "Will you support it f") Twill; IwlUln-
trcyluce It ; I will speak for it : I will plead for it ; I
will teU the Senate of the United States that thou-
sands and tens of thousands of laboring men in tho
West are pleading to have the Government stretch
out its hand in a friendly way to let them know that
the Government does care whether they starve or
thrive. The Government tmder this proposition will
organize a Bureau of Indnstrj' bv which all these tarts
can be investigated and true 'information given to all
people. [A voice, "It takes them too long."] We
will come to it, we cannot do overj'thlng tn a minute.
THE RAILROAD QUESTION.
That is not all, however ; that Is only a small part.
Tho next proposition is this: Here are great lines of
railroad extending from the Atlantic to the Missis-
sippi River. ThB Xew-York Central, the Lake Shore,
with its western connections, the Erie, and the At-
lantic and Great Western, with its western and sonth-
westem connections, the Pennsylvania Railroad with
the Pan Handle, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati
and IndiuiapuUs and Us conneetioBs, and tho Balti-
more and Ohio — [A voice, ** Two men eonlroithe whole
road."] Yes, that may be. Kow. I am gohvgtocoma
to that. Here are four great trunk Unes of railroad,
with their leased lines and branches, and those four
lines are the lines npon which the whole transporta-
tion of the country, from the plains this ride of the
Rocky Mountains, including all the imports into this
country through San Franusco that copie over the
Union Pacific, are transferred from the West to
the East, with a ratum traafportatiaK fren ^

For instanc«, among other things, for the safety of
travel and tho prot«ctJon of property and life, amd
for the benefit of those who are engaged in tho busi-
ness, it requires that no man shallbo allowed to mat
as an engineer or a pilot on a steam tmooI nnleci ho
has boen examined and has received a oartifloato of
his qualifications. [A voice, "Do yon olala they
carry the law out t "] They carry it out aa most laws
are earried out, and very strictly sometimes. [Ap-
plause.] I know that no man ought to be a_pIlot or
an engineer on a steam-boat until ho haa booa ex-
amined and received a cortiflcate of quaUfiestloa. >
fVoico: "Whatdooa he pay for Iti"] He doea not V/
havo to pay a dollar for It, and you do not know cA
any case where any man ever paid a dollar for It.
Now you are talking of facts out of your tmagtuAtioii.
There are soma things you know more about thaczt I
do, but this Is a pouit that I know more about tbaa
you do.
Now, then, there Is one other thing whUo wo ava
on railroads : The ndht^ods would not be permittod to
run their trains with green hands. They wtmld not
be allowed to pick up a fireman and mak» Mm. aa
engineer, because he would havo to be examlnod and
receive a certificate of q-ualiflcAtion from a board ap-
pointed for that purpose. I mention this beeanso n
would be a protection to the engineer and the firenwa
against the competition of men who are green and in-
experienced and incompetent. But -that li not alL.
Congress can rei^ulate uiese lines of transportations
it can take hold of these giant corporarions, and U ii
the only legislative power known to the ConstHotiim'
which can control thorn. And by reasonablo xnlaa'
and regulations It cau provide against that ndiman-
Bgement, that reckless competition, that destnuttrft
abuse of trust, by which these companies harodia-'
abled themselves from performing their dutiaa-'tD
those that they employ in their service, and It la m'
proposition made by tho Republican Conftroas that/
Conzress shall exert iu beneficial jurisdiction ixi>
every wise way for the mutnal protection of thoo*'
who have Invested their money In the coustructioa of'
these great highways of trade and travel, and so alaoj
as to protect the true int«rests and the real zi^hta a6
those who labor in their employment.
ARBXTBATIOK BETWEE77 EMPL.OYXBS AJTD MMr
PLOTED. , ,
There zemalna btit one other thing. Paxhapt, ia
spite of the wisest l^lslation, circnrastaneos bo-
yond any human control may aria* from fallnroa ol j
crops, or some other natural cause, by whloh a ooa- 1
troversy may arise. A railroad company may think,
that It ought not to pay beyond a certain rate of
wages for Its operators, whereas the mon may
think that they oueht to continue receiving what
they w^re in the habit of getting, or. perhape m jus-
tice, ought to be entitled to ask an Increaae. From
those causes arise "strikes,*' or "lock-outa," aa thoy
are tenned In England^-differenees which result in
the stoppage of business and paralysis of society.
Kow, no man derives any profit from that atato of
things. The laborer is only stopping that fountain
which. If tt was allowed to give forth its hoalinf
waters, would bring forth that which would givo Um
the means of life, and he stops that whieh also ere*
ates the fount which goes in as profit to the capital-,
ists. Here on the one side are the capitalists, thora
on the other side the laborers, both fixed and zbxa la
their assertion of their respective dalms, neither ablo
to see the other side — both insisting on their own OXp
treme richts.
Kow, I propose — ^the Republicans of Ohio propOM
— ^that in every such case the Federal Goveminant,
the national authority, by means of some wlao ay»>
tem, shall institute a statntorv mode of arbitratsng
these differences in settling it tn an amicable and an
honorable and a just way. lA voice — " Yea, but
Tom Scott can buy them off apain."] Now, ray
friends, all persons are not so easily bought as yon
are. You must not judp? other men by yourselves.
No ; Tom Scott cannot nuy the American people ; no*
other man can. The American people are a fnst-.
minded people. They are a generous people. They
are a magnanimous people. I do not know whether
you are American bom or not. TiStiatever you are, ,
or if vou have l>een naturalized lonx enougli tb have'
felt the true inspiration of an American citizen, yoa'
would reject that scorn and indignation and insist!
which you have offered to tho American poo-
fde. Thev cannot be purchased. They are iugh,;
ofty, noble, generons, just, trying to do their duty'
before God and man. [A voice. " Didn't Jim Fis«

leave them. [ Applaiute. ] Go where you came from.
I belong here; I was born here. No, do not judge
others ov the mean and miserable measures wbiclt
you resort to to measure yourselves. Ko ; the Ameri-
can people stretch out their hands of friendship and
of reconciliation, of peace, of justice, of equity, and
if you refus*- it you do it to your own wrong. New-
York is carried every year bv a lot of paid voters la
the hire of Tammany "Hall, belonging to your maa-
ter, belonging to Boss Kelly, just as you did at this

I promised, however, to oocnpy bnt a moment oC
time, and I shall keep my woru, but I desire to say,
my fellow-citizens, to you a word only upon a suo-
ject which I know is uppermost In the minds and ha
the hearts of most of you. It is that tfae industry <^
our country shall be so regarded as that labor shall at
least receive that compensation which shall bo the
support and sustenance of tlie laborer. [Applanae.]
I ao not know how it may certainly be brought about.
I know the difllculties. I know the emborraaamants,
I know how insurmountable are the ebstmetions In
the way of any equal or proper adjustment of the
relations between those who labor and those who
furnish the means and opportunities to labor. But
if I had the power I wui^djtr>- one experiment at
least. I would prohibit thegreat railroad corpora-
tions, the great thoroughfares of business and trade,
from so reducing their rates by ruinous competition
as to disable themselves from paying a jostoompesa**
tlon to their operators. [Cries of "Oood,*' and ap-
plause.] I would go further, and try the expeiimen^—
but I do not know that it would succeed — ^I wvold
arrange and fix a minimum of pricee for all who labor
in the mines and upon the railroads, and than
require an account of all tho. not reoeipU and
proceeds of the capital Invested ; the laboror
at the end of the year ^lotild, in ad-
dition to his fixed compensation, reocoTe a cea^-
tain per cent, of the profits. [Applause, and rrJaa mi
" That is the man."] Than, if the prc^ti ware imaul-
fident to compenaate you as liberally aa yon could
otherwise deeu^ bear with yonr employera a paction
of the loss. [A voice: "Certainly."! BntB Hiadr
receipta be sufncient to make a division, we would In
God's namo let the laborer, who ia worthy of fala bin.

— The ehief article lor August in this
historical pubUcatian li hj Major Asa Bird
Ghldner, Iiaw Prof eaaor o{ the United States
KlUtuT Aeadem;-. His subject is the nnlform-
tag of the United States Armj from the French
mars in the Colonies, before the United States
Kdsted, to the tffariaan -war. It haa been said
(hat the "boff and blue" of the patriot ofB-
His had no analogy la prevloas history, but It
leems that It ■vpas a oomblnation of colors
tboToagihly etrtabUahed in England long before
the Berolation. The regiment of Boy-al Horse
Guards or "blues," raised by Charles IL, wore
% bine uniform ■with red facings, yellow bind-
ings on their hats and buff belts. When King
VnilUun HL's Haster-Oeneral of the Ordnance
was aboat to set sail from Chester for Ireland
to meet the Irish forces of King James H., he
issued a warrant in 1689 prescribing that the
Boyal Begiment of Artillery should have "blue
Boats, lined with orange, and brass buttons, and
that their hats ahonld be bound with the same
color. Also that the drivers or carters in the
regiment should wear gray coats, faced with
Drange. BuS and blue, therefore, was the
uniform affected by the Whig Party in Eng-
land, and natnrallr became the colors of the
Whig Party in America. The nnlform, how-
■rer, never became general, chiefly on account
If the dUBeulty in proeartng cloth. Washing-
ton and his staff, together with certain regi-
ments, used It. A thousand other uniforms are
mentioned by Prof. Gardner as TTrn>v^ng up the
motley garb of our old armies. The buttons
that are still found on the battle-ground of
Saratoga indicate that the great majority of
privates were there in common farmers' clothes.
The introduction of the modem trousers, or
pantaloons, is assigned to the year 1776, when,
In July, Washington Issued a general order en-
lonraging the nse of hunting shirts, with long
breeches made of the same cloth, gaiter faaliion
tbout the legs. This was because the commis-
larlat could not supply uniforms. From that
Umo the troops wore the overall which came
down over the shoe, with a strap underneath,
tnd buttoned at the ankle with four but-
tons. In a country IVLe America the
British soon saw the advantage of this
irarment, and adopted it for that service,
rhey also, says the writer, Imitated the Amer-
icana in the two-rank formation of troops in-
Itead of three — a technical arrangement which
•ubsequently became general. Quoting from
Eapp's Lif» of Gen. SUiiUn, the origin of the
term tana-adoUta, which afterward became cel-
ebrated in the French Revolution, Is ascribed
to Steuben, who, on the occasion of a grand
dinner, called the young officers at his mess
table in Valley Forge by that strictly accurate
term. They we're so ragged that no one
with a whole pair of breeches was allowed
to be present. The cue' was retained
In the Army until ISOl.when Brig.-Oen. James
WflUoaon caused great indignation by issuing
a general order to cut it off. Lieut. -CoL
Thomas Butler, commanding the Second Begu-
lar Infantry, who had been a Ldeutenant in

THI POBTPOUO.
For July, Vie Portfolio offers as first piece
a etching, by lAon Rieheton, of one of Sir
Joshua Reynold's portraits in the Althorp Gal-
lery. It represents "Jack Spencer, Viscount
Althorp," as he signs himself to a youthful let-
ter when a boy, and at first sight suggests {pact
Bir Joshua) that the young noblemen has been
Indulging too freely in green apples. Why else
should he be pressing the pit of his stomach with
his left hand iinder cover of a broad scarf
tied around bis Uttle middle ? The picture seems
to have been painted in haste, but possesses that
frank charm which makes the pictures of chil-
dren by Reynolds so pleasing. Prof. Colvin's
paper on "Albrecht Diirer" takes up Marcan-
tonio of Bologna, a silversmith and engraver oa
copper, who Imitated Dtlrer in early life, and
being attracted to Rome later «□ by the fame of
Raphael, became the means of spreading the
Came of that master hy a series of prints
of his works, both his finished paintings and
his onflniahad sketches.'- Prof. Colvln gives one
of Marcantonio's piracies from Dllrer, a plate
representing the Saints Stephen, Gregory, and
tAwrenee standing together under a portico.
Even oarer's mark — a large A with a D Inside,
the two out on a tablet near the foot of the pic-
tora— ^UM been reproduced by the unscrupulous
Italian. We are given the tale of Vasari in
regard to Oarer's wrath at the imitations of hU
work, and liis voyage to Venice in order to get
Jnstlea from the Seignory. He is said to have
only succeeded in debarring Marcantonio from
forging his signature in the .future. In addi-
tion to this wood-cut, in the text there is a full-
page heliogravure of marvelous beauty, repro-
ducing Marcantonio's portrait of one of the
most witty and infamous men of the aga — the
Oeantiona poet and literary freebooter, Peter
of Arezzo. It Is a liandsome face, with
tittle of that wickedness which his eon-
temporaries charged him with. Michael An-
gelo was one of the many whom this nn-

it would liave been fairer hhd the learned essay-
ist limited his condemnation to the portion of
Taine's work referring to the Anglo-Saxons.
What maybe hasty criticism on his part in
regard to so complex a question as English
archffiology is not necessarily superficial when
applied to later Ehiglish literature. It is hardly
fair to judge Taine exclusively on the chapters
relating to the old English, and leave the reader
to suppose that his whole history is equally
untrustworthy. Brother Aiarias, in exam-
ining the subject that he clainxs has
been treated superficially by the brilliant
Frenchman, appears to be working from a very
advantageous basis, as far as his own acquire-
ments are concerned. He shows in his trans-
lations from " Btowulf" a good loiowledge of
Anglo Saxon, quotes from the Sanskrit of the
Bitopadesa and Samayana, and betrays an ex-
cellent general knowledge of authorities on lan-
guage. His article is valuable for giving in
outline the movement of; the " BSowulf" lay, and
for an effort to bring into the field of modem
thought a conception of the habits and customs
of the CAtinental Angles, Saxons, and Jutes.
His last section strives to get at the philosophi-
cal ideas of these old tribes, the way they
looked at nature and accounted for their exist-
ence; on an earth full bf pains and joys. He

" into the thoughts of this people ; we have
measured the beatings of its heart; we have
seen how its days were passed in the mistland
of its Continental homesteads; we have con-
templated tbs-genius of important modem in-
stitutions ; but we have noticed very few indl-
oations of the great irresistible nation wUch
was in after times to play such a conspicuous
part in molding the civilizations of Europe and
America. But who sees the hero ia. the infant

Modem Anglo-Saxons are in no sense the man
grown out of the Anglian child, but a hybrid
mass of nationalities very different from the old
stock. Perhaps certain counties of England
still retain the pure adult developed out of that
savage infant. Other writers for this quarter
are Rev. A. J. Thebaud, S. J., on " The Church

Jnsit 30 days ago to a day, the exact time speel-
fied, and the time agreed upon between Q«d. Howard
and Mr. Montieth. their agent, did these non-treaty
Nez Perce Indians eomiaenee mnrdertng men, women,
and children. Few in the East, can understand the
caiise of this Nez Perce war. Years ago, at the time
this tribe was given a re8er\-ation, Joseph held that
he was not bound to go npon it BU-hmitting to the
United Sutes authorities, because Tie did not sign the
treaty. No majority rule for him. Three years went
by, and he gathered to himself a sort of miscella-
neous lot, and finally, within the past two years,
growing stronger, It was thought oest, prudent, and
all that, to seek to moUif y this savage chieftain by
holding connoUa, talks, and the liJce with him.
Bis lunbition was . the Wallowa Valley, a rich and
fertilfs one In this Northern Idaho, letting Into an-
other, the Imnohas, both aboundingin game, and
whosb streams have abundant ilsh. Why not 1 "Who
Wouldn't have to much if he could only get it 1 So
Jo eph stuck and hung, till last Fall a commission
was aent from Washington, and after much labor
this commission finally consented to give a part of
this coveted land to Joseph and his people. Gaining
the inch he went for the elJ. and must have all or
noiie[ and so we have the war. This is about the long
and short of this whole business. Joseph was of-
fered s good house, <I wish I had as good a one,)
with bams, an orchard in the Valley of the Lapwal.
on tfce reservation- This would not do. He had
promised his flock of maleontents to itick for Wal-
lowa'and Imiioha.
In May last the final council began, and at Fort
Lapwai On the lltb Joseph and ms people, about
75 warriors with their families, came. The Interior
Department, through its agent, read to Joseph bis
instructions, viz ; That unless he came on the reser-
vation peaceably, he must call on the military to put
him j on by force. Then Gen. Howard read, his in-
8tru(*tion3 from the War Department, viz: That
when the agent called upon the military, he must act.
Well, Joseph, he sat for awhile, ana then said :
"White Bird was coming, was in the mountains ^nst
above us, and he wantra to wait for him." So the
coiuicil adjourned till tomorrow at 9 A. M. Nine
A. M. to-morrow came. No Indians. At about 10
there Is a big dust In the direction of Joseph's camp,
and soon the head of the column appears, this time
about 150 strong- In platoons, singing their unearthly
sonds, in war paint and feathers, du these savages
match twice arotmd our Uttle garrison, (Fort Lapwai,
Indian Territorv,) and then dismount and gather
about our council tent. White Bird shields the most
of his flue specimen of ati Indian's face behind an
eagle's wing. Joseph sits, as be always does, with a.
nouJcommlttal air. Again are the instructions read,
and again is time asked la order that they may talk
it all over together in their Indian counclL This
time the General gives two dayi«, for be. Lh pushing
trooba from Walla Walla to the Wallowa aud bring-
ing uiem to our rear. (Lewistun.) The two days ar^
up, la^^i the same iiouip and circumstance, and we
are seated In council. Now Looking Gla.ss is pres-
ent,! giving us all the non-treaty chiefs of an>- ac-
count, viz.: Josepli. Lfooking Glass, and White Bird,
with followers about 175. A. Quaker meeting la the
send off. Finallv the General a-sks JosepbHo talk,
which he dont do. ^Vhite Bird ditto and Looking
Glass the same. But an oldish and verv savatfc-Iook -
ing ^edjdne man, six feet and over of badness, takes
a seat in front of the Gt-ueral and tlie ageut and tells
his tum-tum, (heart.)
Speaking of medicine men on this north-west
coast, they Iwat the average one. They are spirit-
ists] with the theory that by and by t lie Indians are
to have a general resurrection, and then, good-bye
whites. So this old fraud, by name Too-chulhul-
saitl gives forth the predetermined voice of all these
Indians. Says he : "Iwill say a f«w words. The
earth la i^'mother. Who Is it tliat takes away my
mother ? Who did I tell in Washington to give my
land away } The earth will take care of me. I am
notjcoming on the reservation."
Gen. Howard— Do you speak for yourself I
T^hs— Yes.
Joseph, White Bird, and Looking Glass are each
asked u he speaks for them, aud each answers yes.
This old rascal Is then taken out of the council by
force and put iu charge of an officer. Then the chiefs
arellnformed that to-morrow they must be prepared
to select each a place on the reserve, and wdl be
given 30 days to come on. Next day Joseph is shown
ihejiine place to which reference has been made, and
he iacitly consents to take it. The next day we are
traveling across the great Nisz I'erce Plairm to tliis
very place where I sit wrltinarthls, with White Bird
and Looking Glass as compaiuons. The next day we
arelup tins Clear Water Riveft IH miles above this
point, and where the hard*baltle of the 11th Inst,
was fought. Yes, ^Miite Bird and Looking Glass
would come in In 30 days. They were our brothers.
They were each other's'brothers — iti short, the most
brotherly pair of everybody's brothers one cau ima-
gink
Bat the story entire is too long- This whole coun-
try to a man and woman, the worst Indian hater in
all of it, firmly believed these three chiefs meant
every word they said. Hence the unpreparedness of
the murdered settlers. So much had been done by
the commission, the work of the Interior Depart-
ment. But The 30 days are up. On a little stream
called John Day. running into the Salmon River, two
of Joseph's men, without the knowledge, it Is said, of
Joseph, strike— killing three men. Witli stolen
horses, and one with the stolen Henry rifle, they
ride early into Joseph's camp, sa>'ing. "What are
von women doing f See this gun, look at these
hones. Wliat are you sitting here for f " It is said
these murderers really decided the undecided ones.
They must give up the murderers and
go j on the reservation, this or war.
The war party was too strong, and
there right and left about Mount Idaho, State Creek,
"Whitft Bird Cr6,k, in these widely separated setlle-
mcjpts, 17 men, women, and children were murdered,
an^ worse than murdered were some of the women
wlio are vet alive whom I saw at Slimnt Idaho.
Scarcely alfve were two of them whom these fiends
had so cruelly outraged that it were not decent or
ri^t to print it. Even death did not stop them In
the case of one woman, and that in the presence of
het aged father, whom they did not notice enoogh to
hill. With streaming eyes, broken heart, and choked
voice, this poor old man told me of the cruel death of
hid precious child. We had been busy in cettlng on
certain renegade Indians along the Columbia River,
and had woriced back by canoe and steamer to Fort
Lapwal just as the 30 days are up. Friday, the
X5^h ult., a corporal and three men having been
sent out to Camas Prairie to ascertain the position
ofT the Indians, they are met by two Indiana
escaping from Joseph's camp, who turn them bjick
to jus with the first news of the murders on the John
Dfty. Then Perry is .^ent that evening to head thenl
off from their work of destruction, and an officer is
sent to the nearest telegraph station at Walla Walla,
toljride without « rest, with order* for th» concentra-
tion of all the troops in the department. Already
you have heard of Perry's battle, almost a second
Custer's. Troops are marched with almost incredi-
ble speed, Indians cross and recniss these rivers,
which are torrents, swift, deep and dangerous, until
last Wednesday, the 11th, we have so pressed them
thkt wc are now on them. We are upon a plateau.
A [bluff near reveals part of the Indians in their
camp in the valley of the north fork of the Clear
WjSter, near the mouth of the Cottonwood. We
must go back about one mile and a half to secure the
hejad of the ra-vlne up which they have and are jwuring.
A howitzer Is sent with all speed thither, supported
byi a company of cavalry and a Gatling' gun, aud a
company of infantry put under double time, and none
top soon, for the enemy appear in ipreat force, and
madly seek to outflank this little band. Other troops
are ordered up. prolonging oar rieht, and in less than
30 minutes the battle is opened along the lines, which
now have been extended on the left by cavalry, so
that we have a front of nearly two and a half miles,
acainit which 300 and over of the enemy, in every
way Imown to savage warfare, seek to break our
lines. They ride up oehind little elevations, throw
themselves from their ponies, fire, and are off like
rockets. Lines of them creep and crawl and twist
thjem.'ielvas through the grass until within i^nge,
and with pieces as good as ours tell with deadly lum
thkt they are marksmen. Ther tie grass upon
thleir heads, so that it is hard to tell which bunch of
grissa does not conceal an Indian with a globe-sighted
rifle. They climb tiees and shoot from them, and
for seven hours we put our boys in where they are
greatly needed, and also bring many back to our sur-
geons, already too busy. Cant. Bancroft, leading
his compauy, A, Fourth Artillerj-, is shot through
the lungs. Seeing him soon^ofter, he said, "I saw
the black snakes crawling up, and believe I fixed
sdme of them." A brave man, a patient sufferer, we
aiW glad to know his wound is not necessarily fatal.
Lieut. Williams is also soon brought boclc from
the mouth of the gulch shot throtigh tlie
wrist and tJtiigh. The fight commenced at
about 1 PiM. At 3;30 €len. Howard ordered a
charge on the left, and away, under Capt. Miller,
Fburth Battalion, go oar brave men, leaving, as I
have been told, eight Indians closely laid out to-
gether. Darkness alone closes this day's work. The
night finds us busy throwing up intrench men ts,
c^ngforthe wotmded, (24.) bringing in the dead,
oi which seven are found, and setting at work pack-
ers and all who can bake bread, for our hard bread
iHgone and we are nearly out of rations. We are
nearly 375 strong, and have this long line to defend.
Ojar pack animals are corraled in the centre, while
our cavalry horses unsaddled remain at most con-
venientpoints for the opening of the morning's
work. The bright stars look down on our little army,
exhausted but not discouraged. Our torn and bleed-
ing comrades give us cheer by their brave words
siiioken. and silent suffering.
This is all that can be written now. and Is the first
opporttmity when it has been possible to put aside
pressing work at every halt, to do what I have

"About 10 o'clock Monday night the colored church
oil the comer of Sixth and Sycamore streets, Chelsea,
was the scene of intense excitement. During the
service a drunken necnro named J. Allen entered the
church, where his wife was attending divine worship,
^d endeavored to create a disturbance during the
nieeting of a benevolent society. Several of the
brethr& took Allen out doors and tried to qniet h^Tn,

From iht SpringJiHd (UaH.) RepvhlUan, Aug, 3.
James Holmes, al gray-haired and gray-beard-
ed and apparently respectable farmer of Van Deusen-
ville, said to be worth $20,000, was examined before
Judge Bradford and bound over in $3,000 yesterday
for firing three lax^ harm and a shed belonging to
John 0. Munson, a zjelghhor, on the night of Sept. 11
last. The hams wexle Well-tUed with the Summer's
crops, and one of thpm contained three horses. Mr.
Munson suspected Incendiarism the more readily
because he had been the victim of two other fires,
one the burning of] his residence, and needed but
little outside evldeiice to fix the crime in his oWn
mind upon Mr. Holmes, because of former trouble
with hhn. Their iiuorrel began in 1872, when
Munson refused to turn out a school-teacher at
the request of Holmes. This led to an attempt on
the part of Holmes to injure the reputation of Mun-
Son*B daughter, for which Munson Drought suit, aud
the affair was settled by Holmes paying $600 and
costs. They did not speak to each other after this.
and there Is plenty of evidence to show that Holmes
took his defeat very hard and harbored revenge.
One man says be tola him Munson would lose more
than he had gained, and when speaking of the burn-
ing of his hotise, he said he would be willing to bet
8100 that he would be burned out agidn within a year.
But though there is more testimony of this sort^ it
would never have justified an arrest, aud the Com-
monwealth relied inainly on the story of XTriah
Suraer, Jr., and the corroboration it received
from others. Surner himself was convicted at
the last term, of this same crime, and his
sentence was deferred till January, to await
the developments he now makes, though he says
he does not expect kny lighter punishment on
account of them. His otory on the stand was sub-
stantially as follow^: I livo on Christian Hill, south-
west of Van Deusenville : I worked for Munson a
while, but had some difQculty with him on account of
my pay, and left : one night, a week before the fire, I
was eolDg home rrom Housatoulc about 11 o'clock,
whenl^sawa mau ahead of me going toward Mun-
son'S: I whistled, and he jumt^ed into the bushes:
there having been tlUe^-es about of late, I thought I
would watch for him ; so I lay down beside the road,
and In about 20 minutes I saw him get up and ap-
proach Munson 's bams : he went up to the north ttiue
and lit some straw, when I hastened up and asked
him what he was doing; it was Holmes, and
he said " I am caught. aud appeared much
frightened ; I: told blm he need not be afraid, as 2
hated Munson, too ; he theh said he would make me
a present if I would keep a still month; we then
made a compact ; I was to talk about the barns as if
I was going to bum them, and he would let me know
the nignt when he set fire to them, so that I could be
away, aud have witnesses to prove where I waST~ I
was also to tell people afterward that I did it; he
said If I gut stuck 1 would not get more thuu three or
four ^cars, and he would pay me enough to make me
all nght; I went Into It with my eyes open, «x-
)>ectiug It would all come out some time ;
soon after this Holmes paid me $40, and in
a few days the bams were burned, when I was
three miles away; we were not suspected, and
one day this Spring Holmes said to me : " Well, they
haven't caught us yet. aud I guess they never will.
He also told me . that he came very near getting
caught the night of the fire before getting home.
This story of burner's was corroborated by six or
eight witnesses who saw him have the moijiey and
heard him tell of the interviews with Holmes, Jut
the case hung mainly on Sumer's testimony, and,
although Holmes is not a very popular man, there is
much sympathy for him among his towns-people,
many of' whom believe the whole etory pnt up by
young Sumcr for the purpose of getting a light sen-
tence. Stimer says he did not tell his story at his
own trial, because he thought Holmes would see him
through, and then he thought all the time he would
get clear. ;

The Baicaiian OazetU Of July 4 says : '* Mr. J.
B. Houston, Executive Officer of the PaclfieMall
Company in Kew-York, arrived here on the steamer
City of Sydney, and while in port settled with the
Hawaiian Goverhmeut the terms upon which the
steam service promises to be permanent. The con-
tract is substantially as follows : The service will
continue aa at present until December next, when it
will be changeu to semi-monthly. For this puipose a
small steamer (perhaps the Costa Rica) will be dis-
patched monthly from San Francisco to Honolulu,
returning from this port with freight and passengers.
The Australian boats will continue to call as now,
will remain in port at least six hours of daylight,
and a specified number I of state-rooms (10) are
to be reserAed for Honolulu passengers on each
trip from Sydney to San Francisco. In consider-
ation of these cOnresslons, this Government will pay
the subsidy voted by the Legislature, and there Is
verj- little question that it will be permanently
voted, as the more intelligent Representatives have
always stipported the measure. We congratulate the
public on this terminatiop of the steamer question,
as it insures to us Increased privileges, and, m short,
all that baa been asked for by the most exacting.
Tahiti haa just concluded , a contract with parties in
San Francisco under which she is to receive her
mails monthly by sailing vessels, paying $15.*K>0
per annum for five years. All who have aided in se-
curing the continuance of our steam eervice — and
among them our friend Major George Macfarlane. of
the flnu <^ Green, Macfarlane A Co.. who, during his
rc^eut visit to San Franciano, was very active in the
matter — deserve the thanks of the public"
CUTTIXG DOTTA- PEACB TREES.
The Wilmington (DeL) Commercial of Thtirs-
doy evening says : "A letter from Sussex in yester-
day's CoTnmerci^ announced, that peach culture was
so far a failure that many farmers wotild cat down
their trees during the present year. To-day a letter
from Kent County announces that a gentlcmui liv-
ing near Felton, after picking this year's crop of
Hale's early peaches, cut down an oinhard of 500
trees. We suppose this is the only solution of the
difficulty peach-growers have experienced. Though
freights have come down to about half what they
were a few years ago, yet the prices realized for the
fruit have fallen much more in proportion, and there
is no profit In ralfting fruit to sell at the prices it
has realized in Kew-York for the past few years.
Whether a return to the cultivation of cereals will
pay or not, remains to be ieen, but the necessity for
some sure and profitable crop is now very evident,
and we hope careful and intelligent experiments will
be made to demonstrate the practicability of the
sugar-beet culture, to encourage which the last Legis-
lature created a State Commiislnn. But w« hope
the process of destroying peach orchards will not oe
carried too far, for if prosperity ever does come back
to our land, the large cities will become better cus-
tomers for fruit than they are now, when so many
of their people find it as mdch as they can do to buy
bread. This Is the best fruit region on the Atlantic
coast, and is situated In convenient proximity to
Kew-York, Philadelphia. Brooklyn, Baltimore, snd
Washington, in the order we have named them the
flnt, second, third, sixth, and twelfth in .population
among American cities. "

COL. SARD SEEX IX ALRAXT.
The Kutland (^t) Strald says that Mr. J. S.
Rowley, of the firm of Lyon, Proseus ft Rowley,
flonr, provisions, and fish dealers of Albany, was in
Rutland on Wedniesday evuning, and gave the follow-
ing account of his meeting Col. Hen- y S. Hard in Al-
bany last Friday afternoon: "About 3 o'clock,"
he said, "as I was passing through Union Depot I
met Col. Hard, whom I hwl seen before in Arlington,
and shook hands with him. I jokingly asked him if
he was not lost, and he rrolied, 'On, no.'. I aid,
' When did you come down r and he answered, ' I
got here last night.* To my inquiries whether Ar-
liugton was all right and whether the West boys and
others wer© well, he replied. 'Yes.' Tliere was
nothing evasive in any of his replies, ex-
cept perhaps to my question when ne came
down, and he was not at all reserved or diffident. I
did not know then that he had mysteriously dijBap-
peared from Arlington, and having always supposed
that he was most correct In his habits, was surprised
at his appearanfce, for hts eyes were bloodshot and
his face flushed, as if he had Deen on a ' tear.* The
same appearances might have beenproduced how-
ever, by anxiety and steeplessness. He was perfectly
sober at the time, and had no smell of liquor about
him. I did not see him do so, but had the impression
that he was going to the office to buy a ticket, and as
the only train which left at that time was the
3:10 P.M. Chicago special, he may have taken that.
I went out of the depot, and did not Ree him after-
wanL I think he had no baggage with him, thou^
he may have had a small traveling-bag."

VmTED STATES SUPREME CbXTRT
PHACTICE tJXDER THE LEGAL CODE OP MON-
TANA—THE CAROLINA A^T) STEPHEN
MORGAN COLLISION.
Washington, Aug. 2.— The following de-
eUions were rendered in the United States Supreme
Court:
Ko. 20ir~Edgar G. Maday, Charle* A. itroad-
water, George SUeU, and Matthew CarroU, plaintifs
in error, V9. Abraham Sanda and Jtdiiu Sonde. — In
error to the Supreme Court of the Territory of Hon*
tanO. — This case presents the single question whether,
tmder the dvH pructioe act erf Montana, judgment
can be entered against a defendant as upon default
for want of issues to be tried, when there Is on file iu
; the cause an answer denying specificaUy
all the allegations In the complaint : but in
i which the denud is based upon information and be-
lief only, if it appears that the facts in controversy
were not within the personal knowledge of the de-
fendant, and that the Information upon whkdi he
based his belief came from his agents employed to
transact the business out of which the litigation
arose. Sections 56 and 63 of the Practice act are as
follows:
8bc. 66. The answer of the defendant shall con-
tain a specific denial to each allegation In the complaint
intended to be controverted by the defendant * * *
In denyiuK any allegation in the complaint, not presump-
tively within the knowledge of the dtfcudant, It shall be
sufficient to put such allegation in Issue for the defend-
ant to state that, as to any such allegation, he has not
and cannot obtain soificicnt knowledge or information
upon which to base a belief.
Sbc- 63. All complslnts. answers, and replications shall
be verified as provided in this section. * * * Xhe
affidavit of verification shall state that the facts stated in
the pleading are true to the knowledge of the person
making !t, except as to those matters which are therein
stated on his information and belief, and as to those
matters that he l>eHeves it to be true. Such verification
shall be made by the party, or if there are several parties
united in intere-st orpleauiugs, by one, at least, of such
parties acquainted with the facts, if such party is in the
country and capable of making offldarit.
The verification in this case was in the proper
form, and it further stated "that the defendants'
said business at Corinne, Utah, was performed by
agonts, from whom affiant s information, upon which
he based said belief, is derived." These facts are
not controverted. The business of the defendants,
in respect to which they were sued, was that of com-
mon carriers, and must necessarily have been con-
ducted to a considerable extent through agents. len-
der such circumstances their knowle<%e as to many
of their transactions would properly come from iu-
formatlon. If the facts had been such as must
have been within their personal knowledge, a
denial upon Information and belief might
perhaps have been properly treated as evasive, but
here any presumption of personal knowledge has
been overcome by the statements iu the verification,
and unless parties under such circumstances are per-
mitted to qualify their denials, they will be com-
pelled to swear positively to that which they only
'believe to be true because they have information to
that effect. The court hold that the denial may be
none the less specific when made on informatiou and
belief, and that in this case it w^ sufficient. Re-
versed, The Chief -Justice delivered the opinion.
No. 222— Frederick Davy et al., claimant of the
eehooner tftrph^n Morgan. Appellant*, rn. Joweph
Guod. — Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United
States for the District of Maryland. — Parties who do
not appeal from a final decree of a Circuit Court
which 18 r- gular in f<Hin cannot be heard in opposi-
tion to the decree when the cause is moved here by
the opposite party, unless it appeJura that the pro-
ceedings in remo\ing the cause were unauthorized or
irregular. They may be heard in support of the de-
ci*ee, and in opposition " to every assignment of error
filed by the appellants. (The WilUam Bagalev. 5
Wall., 412 ; Harrison vs. Xlxon, fl Pet., 494 : Canter
vs. Ins. Co.. 3 Id.. 318.) AVherethe decree was in fa-
vor of the libellont In the DlstrictCourt for a salvage
service in saving goods at sea. this court held, on
appeal here by tlie owners of the goods, that the de-
cree was conclusive upon the libellont as t*i the
amount of salvage awarded; that he could not, in
tlie Appellate Court, claim anything beyond that
amount, since he had not. by any appeal on his part,
controverted its sufficiency. (8 Id.. 10.) Compen-
sation Is claimed by the owner of the steam-ship
Carolina from the schooner Stephen Morgan, her
apparel, tackle, and fumittire, for injuries caxised to
the steam-ship by the schooner in a collision which
occurred between the two vessels during the earlv
morning of the 3d of October. 1672. in the
lower part of Chesapeake Bayi whereby, as
the appellant allies, the steamer was damaged
to the araotmt of from $12,000 to §115,000.
Detailed description of the circumstances is given in
the libel, from which it appears that the steamer, a
vessel of 1.100 tons burden, with a cargo of com,
was bound down the bay on a voyage from the port
of Baltimore to Queenstown, Ireland, for orders, and
that the schooner, a vessel of 259 tons, in ballast.
was bound up the bay on a voyage from the port of
New-York to the— -port of Georeetown in
this District. Both the steamer" and the
schooner were in a seaworthy condition,
well manned and equipped, and 'the evidence
shows that they had competent lookouts aud that
their Big! al lights were properlv displayed. The
ct>lliBion was caused by mutual blunders,* and the
court divided the damages between the parties. The
Circuit reduced the damages and otherwise affirmed
the decree. The respondent appealed, but the
libellant acquiesced. The decree is here affirmed
Mr. Justice Clifford delivered the opinion.
SAILORS' BOARDIXG.HOVSE KEEPERS.
The disturbance which occurred some time
ago between a number of keepers of sailors' board-
ing-houses, wherein one man was pretty roughly
handled, and which gave rise to an exciting personal
altercation between Counselors Howe and Hathaway,
in the Tombs Police Court, was finally disposed of in
the Court of Special Sessions yesterday. The hear-
ing of the case disclosed the fact that there Is a
benevolent organization In the City that was not gen-
erally heard of before. It is called the Sailors'
Boarding-house.keepers Benevolent Association, and
it has its head-quarters somewhere In East Broadway.
According to the records in the Police courts, the
benevolence of this body does not extend beyond its
members, nor does It enter into their business rela-
tions. It is a matter of common report among the
authorities and among seamen that the pJnlan-
thropy of the society Is never displaved
except when a member gets into leeal troutile.
through his eltorts to induce some sea-faring patron
to spend all his money while ashore, and then ship him
at a profit with some unscrupulous Captain. Tlie Spe-
cial Sessions Justices were Doth astonished and
amused when they were informed that this model or-
ganization really had a corporate existence. The
complainant in the case In point was an ItaUan or
Spaniard named Salvador Grillo. wlio keeps a
boarding-house at No. 378 Water-street, and
who appears to be particularly obnoxious
to the others in the business" He is a
member of the benevolent association, and attendi-d
a recent meeting. Schemes were set on foot there
for the further enslavement ' of unsuspecting Jack
Tar to which even Grillo could not give assent, and
the result was a ceneral row. in which he was un-
mercifully noimded by a number of Ms fellow bentv.
oleut members. He had four of the latter arreste<l,
named Charles H. Smith. M'illiam Churchill,
William -Jenkins. and James Breen, all of
whom keep places in the purlieus adjacent
to the rivers. Yesterday the defendants and the
President of the association swore to an entirely
different set of circtmistances. They asserted that
Grillo disturbed the serenity and insulted the dignity
of the benevolent meeting by his intoxicated and un-
parliamentary conduct, and" that be threatened to
gouge out a man's eye with nn umbrella becau-<^ he
ventured to suggest that he was not entitled to the
fioor when some momentous question affecting the
value that should, as a general thing, be placed on
sailor clothes seized for board, was before the assem-
bly. Five against one was ft greater preponderance
of testimony than the court could stand, and the
prisoners Avere discliarged.
THE DAXSER WILL CASE.
The motion for an alternative mandamus
requiring Surrogate Calvin to admit to probate the
will of Miss Mary M. Donser, the daughter of >Ia-
thias Danser, the gambler miLlouaire, or to show
cause why he should not do so, wns called on for
hearing yesterday, before Judge Westbrook, in Su-
preme Court. (Cambers. Mr. Anthony R. Dyett ap-
peared for Mr. Thomas F. Jeremiah, the Executor and
proponent of the will : Messrs. William O. and Clif-
ford A- H. Baitlett for Smith J. Danser, the uncle of
Mlsa Danser, and the other contestants; and
Mr. Algernon S. SulliMin for certain of
the institutions made lepitees under the T\-iU.
Mr. Dyett was about explaiuing his reasons for desir-
ine the immediate probate of the will, which were
suDstxmtially of the same character which he had
advanced before the Snrro^to. and which have
already been published, when Judge Westbrook said
that it' would require too much time at tlie present
term of the court to give proper attention to so im-
portant a case, and that a case was never so well de-
termined as when a Judge took full time to consider
it and thoroughiv understood it. Mr. Dvett said that
there were $250,000 of undisputed legacies under
the will, among which were two, of $5,000 each, to
old ladies, who might not live to receive their bequests
if the probate of the will should be greatly pi-ocr&s-
tinated. It was finally arranged, with the consent of
all parties, that the hearing should be set down for
the first Mondav of next mouth, with the understand-
ing that it should then be progressed with all the ex-
p^tlon that the nature of the case will admit of.

A WIFE Snxa SER BUSBAXD.
John Hancock died in 1853, leaving a large
estate to his widow, Sarah, who died in 1874, leav-
ing her property to her niece. Patience M. Gardner,
who has brought suit In the Supreme Court against
her husband, James, for unpiud advances which she
claims Mrs. Hancock made to him, amounting to
about $13,000, which, with interest and other
claims, she allies, amounts to over $23,000, for
which she seeks judgment. Mr. Gardner denies that
he owed his wife more than $11,000, for which
amount he avers he gave her a good mortgage on real
estate. Mr. Gardner avers that be allowed Mrs. Han-
cock to keep all bis accounts aud attend to hU his
buMuess matters, aud he eayu she received from him
dnring nine years all his e amings, including rents
received from his real estate, which she de-
posited In hfsr own name, the aggr^ate
amount being $25,000. no part of which
she ever repaid him, except ttiat from time
to time, as the occasion required, she gavs him cer-
tain sums, tiie amount of wiilcit he b"^ no *n**»\^i^ of
aaoeitalnlng, as she kept the aeeotmt, and she always
aald the accumutatlona wei« made for the benefit of

granted restraining Mr. Gardner from disposing of

solve the Imimetion. Decision was reserved.

A WIDE AWAKE OFFICER,
Officer Beltore. of the Fourteenth Precinct,

Bowerj' in a very suspicious manner with a nice over-
coat across his arm. Tne officer left the car and

insult received from the other. Each was accompa-
nied bv a witness, and It appeared evident that all

each other. HaWng listened to the stories with
much patience, the Judge impressively delivered his
decree as follows: "You. Mrs. Kearney, and you,
Mrs. Smith, are each of you placed under $500
bonds to keep the peace for six months, and If either
of you ftpeaks to the other within that time you will
both of you po to the Island for one year. Go '" And
they went, fully impressed with the terrors Of the law.

It U obvious that the Ktiitsiaus have re-
eeived a check in thoir advance through
Turkey in Europe almost as JeciJeJ as that
eneouutere4 '" -Asia. The advauce guard
which had penetrated south of the Bal-,
lians is to bo recalled, the venturesome
General whu led that advance is to be re-
place J. and the entire force oE the Empire i.s
to be tlevo'ed to the complete subjugation of
Bulgaria and its fortresses. All this is sug-
gestivx' of a hoilowucssin the Russian military
or,roiiizatioii lianlly less fatal than that
vhich left Krauce i>rostrate before the Ger-
iiiiin invader. Only it happens that the
Turkish system is a trifle more rotten, and
that its temporary succes.ses are due to the
estelleut quality of the Turkish infantry,
aiid are achieved in spite of the corruption
and incapacity of most of its native leaders.
The Russians cannot afford to rest under
any such repulses as those they have lately
received, and tho next chapter of the war is
certain to i>e tnore Btirring and sanguinary
than the last.
Greece is preparing for war. It is not
certain whether the entire Army of fourteen
thousand iiu-n will Ije mobilized, nor whether
the Koyal Navy, which is considerably smaller
than that of Peru, will be put in commis-
f^iou. But war is to be dechired, and the
Btalf officers for the various branches of
military service have been named. It is
not likely that all this preparation will canfy
confusion and dismay into the Turkish camp.
But Greece, weak though she is in all tho
means and appliances for agj^essive war-
f!ir>-, can make enough stir on the frontier
to annoy Turkey. The war fever is cer-
ti.inly spreading when Greece begins to
flfurbish up her arms and Sweden seriously
considers defensive measures.
We imagine that very few of our readers
think that there is but one side to the
problem of the labor strike:^ To all,
whether or not they need conviction (m
this point, we recommend the perusal of tho
dispatch from our correspondent at Scranton.
It gives dispassionately and clearly, an ac-
count of the differences as presented by the
miners, and we venture to say that few
people can read their complaints withr
out feeling that some of tho great
employers of labor will have a
good deal to answer for when tho responsi-
bility for the late riots has been duly appor-
tioned. In any case, it is the part of reason-
able men to discover the causes of so unusual
an outburst of exasperated feeling as that
which we have just witnessed, and to dis-
cover what remedies can be provided
against its recurrence. To the understand-
ing of both our special dispatch lends very
obvious aid.
VTe fear that the World is in a fair way to
incur thecoudemnation of Kelly and Tam-
many Hall. It quotes with approval the
Posts statement that "the notion of electing
Eepublicaiis to (local) office must be
giveu over," and it suggests that the
Kelly dictatorship is a thing to
be tolerated merely on good behavior. Wo
imagined that all Tammany organs under-
stood the necessity of ridiculing any coali-
tion, between Republicans and Independent
Democrats, and obeyed the word of order to
urgo a "straight Republican ticket" as the
only proper and dignified course for the
partjy which has it in its power to make
very short work of Kelly & Co. by support-
ingvhonest Democrats for local offices. We
should therefore infer that the World was
not a Kelly organ, but for its remark that
" 'New-York cannot expect its City Govem-
zoent to be better than the average of those
igba naka that CrOTemment.'' We fear
that thia is a covert way of accepting
Kelly, Pubeoy, and Cbokee as the only
practicable rulers of the foremost munici-
pality on the continent. The Wvrld has,
before now, been mistaken in ' ' the average"
conscience and undCTstahding of the Xew-
York voter, and i^ exceedingly likely to be
so again. i
It is a little amusing to find the T>-ibune
undertaking Democratic work of which tie
World is somewhat ashamed. Probably the
member of the Tammany Society who is
understood to have some influence over
the local intelligenae of the Tribune gave
Mr. Hejjry L. Clikton a chance of
airing in its columns of yesterday
some preposterous nonsense about the
prosi)ects of the Fall campaign. To the
best of our knowledge, Mr. CLnrroN has be-
trayed every cause which he ever espoused,
and it would, not be surprising if he
should add to! his political aposta-
sies that of infidelity to the cause
of Kelly. Meanwhile that remarkable
person, who escaped the fate of becoming a
Trappist Monk to be translited to the posi-
tion of a Cardinal's nephew. City Con-
troller, and head of the Democratic Party
in New^-York, has in Mr. Clinton one
of his most ardent advocates. He is, it
appears, giving us a " cheap Government,"
some of whose features are a donation of
$15,000 to " ToM"4JnNLAP, and fees mod-
erately estimated at $30,000 a year to
" Dick" Croker, for difcig absolutely noth-
ing. ,
EAILBOADS AXD STATES.
■ We ought not to wonder if at the outset
of a discussion of the relations of railroads
to the National Government crude proposi-
tions find favor among the people. The
subject is in this country a new one. The
suggestion that Federal authority shall in-
terfere at all with railroads is in some
quarters resented as an invasion of
the sovereignty of States,' and by
the railroads as ! an attack upon
their chartered privileges. The dis-
trust entertained toward tho Government
service generally and the belief that that
service, if extended to railroads, would be
neither efficient nor economical, undoubt-
edly contribute to the adverse feelUsg tbftt
exists. An inherited jealousy of Federal
power thus operates in conjunction with the
prevalent want of faith in the capacity
and integrity of the civil service, and
prejudices the question. And yet there can
be no doubt that the events of the last fort-
night have not .only disturbed the tradi-
tional reverence for State pretensions but
have demonstrated the insufficiency o^ the
restraints imposed by States upon the or-
ganization, expansion, and management of
railroads. Local authority has not passed
triumphantly tlirougU the ordeal. The crim-
inal violence of the strikers has not blinded
the public to tho causes of railroad
embarrassments or the narrow no-
tions of responsibility that are ap-
parent in the policy of companies.
We catch a glimpse of tho result in the reso-
lution adopted by tho Ohio Republican Con-
vention. The resolution itself is ill-digested
and in some of its essentials impracticable.
It may look a little too mucli like an attempt
to pander to the unwholesome passions of
the moment. It is nevertheless significant
as the testimony of partisan managers
against the present railroad system and iii
favor of important li>gislative changes. The
weakness of details embotlied in the propo-
sition is immaterial. The fact to be remem-
bered is, that the railroad ijuestion promises
to become an element in national politics
and to lead to au enlargement of the powers
and duties of the Government in a direction
where States and corporations have been
supreme. i
Business exigencies and individual greed
and ambition have revolutionized the con-
ditions of railroad mauagement. We have
■■ railroad systems" instead of railroads, and
tiio head of each system is in his way
kingly and despotic. The Peunsylvaniia
Railroad, for instance, not content with ab-
solute sway ill the State from which it dii-
rived its original pilivileges, or with the
virtual ownership of the Legislature to
which it turns for local laws, has grown
into the Pennsylvania Railroad system, and
issues orders that are obeyed in we know
not how many different States. When it
needs an increase of power, it sends to Har-
risburg and gets all it wants. It creates inside
corporations — corporations within itself —
and, generally, moves in mysterious ways its
financial w^ondera to perform. It divides
and subdivides for purposes known only to
its managers. It waters its stock, goes on
piling up its bonded indebtedness, leases
other railroads and guarantees thoir bonds,
makes contracts and respects or repudiates
them at pleasiu'e, and, withal, assumes im-
perial airs in dealing iwith its workmen and
the public. Who jcah pretend that an or-
ganized money and business power like
this should be subject only to the control
of a Legislature which it carries in
its pocket i — that a power which has at its
beck and call an army of voters, and a pat-
ronage equal to that possessed by the Gov-
ernments of half a dozen populous States,
shoidd be indepehdent of all regulations
save those made by the States in which its
influence is felt ? Some of its remote tribu-
taries may have suffered from ' ' Grangers'
laws," in themselves arbitrary and unjust.
These, however, are exceptionsT Taken
altogether, the Peun^lvauia Railroad sys-
tem, so-called, is a stupendous illustra-
tion of arrogance and monopoly. Instead
of being the creature of States, it has be-
come their master. It disciimiuates against
one set of business interests and in favor of
others, and local authority looks on in
silence. It punishes this community for in-
dependence and rewards that for subser-
viency, ai'ii people are expected to go on
thejr knees and worship the wisdom by
which it is directed. It "cutsrateb" and
maintains an insensate competition ' whose
penalties fall upon its workmen, and then it
calls for Federal troops to re-establish
the order which its own recklessness
imperiled. The whole thing, from begin-
ning to end, is anomalous and indefensible.
We single out the Pennsylvania combination
because more fully than any othetj it ex-
emplifies the growth of a power which, un-
checked, is incompatible with the freedom
of business and the order and welfare of the
vast region tliat suffers from its exercise. But,
after all, it is but one of several powers of
the same sort, each in its sphere as abso-
lute. uu3 aa^h. in a different degree Droving
the insafficienoy of the checks now imposed
ipon railroad management.
It is clear that State authority cannot be
relied apon to provide ad'equate remedies.
Much woidd be gained if through some
agency each State exacted from the compa-
nies operating within its boundaries uni-
form and explicit statements of their affairs.
We might then get to the bottom of the
financiering which euables companies to pay
dividends they have not earned, and to use^
their bonded debts as reservoirs for
supplying current funds. There would then
be a possibility of uncovering so much
triith as to bring to an end the false pre-
tenses that have sei-ved some companies so
w4ll. We know, too, on the highest judicial
authority, that a State may regulate rates
and otherwise restrain invidious manage-
ment. Enough has been seen, however, to
justify the conclusion that these local regu-
Ijations may be as unjust and injurious as
the policy they are intended to correct.
Moreover, they necessarily lack the uni-
formity which is requisite! for the
smooth and advantageous working of a
great system. Different States even now
have different railroad laws. A systematic
effort to render thema more stringent would
tiel followed by a wide-spread exercise of
iailroad influence in the local Legislatures.
What corporate iuUuenee can effect as
against aggressive efforts at reform, we
ijiaye seen in this State in relation to life
ilnsurance. The insurance interest, vast as
it is, is inconsiderable compared with the
railroads, and we may be sure that the
latter will not be sparing of their strength
wheu tlie time comes for contesting the
title of States to make their supervising and
restraining authority a reality. For this
reason, if for no other, Federal intervention
wiU sooner or later be inevitable.
XO MORE LAXD TO SELL.
Twenty-five or thirty years ago, a famous
baud of singei*s used to chant a song the re-
frain of wjueh was to the effect that Uncle
Sam has land enough to give us all a farm.
Perhaps this was true then. And whether
it was true or not, multitudes of people still
cherish the delusion that the public lands,
tihat is to say, the unpurchased and available
lands of the nation, are extensive and rich.
For a century, at least, we have been in the
habit of refeniug to ' ' the national domain"
as an unbounded tract of arable
liind, laced with beautiful streams, ver-
durous with groves of timber, rich iu
pasturage, and waiting only for the plow of
the farmer that it may laugh with a harvest.
■^Vhcnever a State or an incorporated insti-
tution becomes " hard up," it turns its long-
ing eyes toward the fertile fiehls of the pub-
lic domain, supposed to exist somewliere iu
that unfenccd and unsurveyed region known
as "Out West." Natural and legitimate
sources of income fail ; ordinary channels
of industry do not yield fructifying
streams. The General Government — the
fond, paternal, indulgent General Goveru-
meut — is the last resource, wheu all else is
dry.
The State of Virginia, which is in a very
bad financial condition, is one of the latest
to consider wiiat can be made out of the re-
mains of the much-vaunted public domain.
Naturally, the citizens of the Old Dominio n
are reluctant to follow the example of some
of the swindling States, and repudiate their
State indebtedness. There is yet enough
honor left in Old Virginia to stand up
against the monstrous proposition to do
by the .State debt what no honest
man would or could do by his own
debt — refuse to pay it, principal or
interest. In their sore perplexity, some
of the Virginians have been asked to
believe that the General Governmeut Inis
in round numbers l,ii^i.',TS9,037 acres of
unoccupied laud. Deducting tho water
iiurface, the arid belts, the mount;iin chains,
and the tracts not suitable for gra:',ing
purposes, it is argued that there still re-
mains enough available land out of which
farms coulil be carved, if distributed in
land scrip, to pay the debt of Virginia. It
lis proposed that the State " accept from
the General Government" a grant of 3,000,-
•000 acres for each Senator and Kepresenta-
tive, making the neat amount of ;13,000,-
000 acres, all told, and thus pay the debt
and relievo the people.
1 It is not worth while to make any com-
tent whatever on the abstract merits of
is proposition. It is foimdedon a popular
delusion. There arc no grand areas of
arable land lying open to the adventurous
plow of the settler. Whether wisely or not,
railroad companies have been endowed with
inillions of acres ; land scrip for educational
and other purposes has been used to cover
other millions of acres ; humlreds of thou-
sands of homesteads have been granted
from the national domain, and considerable
ti*acts have been sold for cash, or
bought under the acts for tho en-
com'agement of mining. The only con-
siderable body of unoccupied land
lying iu one tract , is that which is drained
by the headwaters of the Missouri. In
Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming aro
foimd so few settlements that the country,
away from a few points on the rivers, may
be said to be wholly unoccupied. But the
land, for the most part, is high and mipro-
ductive. The region is intersected by deep
gorges, broken by steep^bluffs, and abso-
lutely incapable of producing regular crops.
Here and there in Wyoming, Colorado, New-
Mexico, Nevada, and Arizona are isolated
spots of good land which may even-
tually be available for agricultural pur-
poses. Some of these spots aro now
in tine arable condition. But they are re-
mote from channels of communication, and
are surrounded by wild wastes which may
never be available for purposes of settle-
ment. Even the grasping railroad corpora-
tions which, have rmi their lines through
these States and Territories are incumbered
with hundreds of thousands of acres of
worthless lands which cUt a very big figure
in their ''princely endowment," and noth-
ing more.
In Nevada, New-Mexico, and Arizona,
these fertile spots, though numerous,
derive their only value from the contrast of
the appalling waste of desert around them.
A few thousand acres of land on which
bunch-grass and brambles grow, and water
flows, is a delightful oasis to the traveler
who has just crossed an arid wilderness
Iieopled with horned toads and rattlesnakes,
and sustaining no vegetable growth but the
tliorny cactus. In Colorado, Texas, Nebraska,
Wyoming, and in some parts of New-Mexico
aud Arixoua, there ai'e vast ranges of graz-
ing lands, j And this phrase, " grazing
land," has deceived' many into the belief
that eyentusdly the ranges will be covered
with similing farms. This is impossible.
The ranges where once fed the prodigiotis
herds of biiffalo, and where now feed
the flocks and herds of the American
stock-raiser, lean never be farming
lands. I The nerds of cattle subsist on the
grass, whichlis green and succulent in early
Summer, and dry, sun-cured, and notuishing
through all the rest of the year. The cattle
frequent the rivers„8eldom straying far from
the water-courses and taking refuge in' the
bluffs when the storms of Winter rage. But
the surface 'iS treeless, water-courses are
infrequent, and the high, rolling ground is
as dry and* brown from July to January
as the Swales of an African desert.
It is a grea,t error to suppose that such
ranges as these can be included in the florid
estimate of the extent of our arable lands
■with which an unthinking public is some-
times regaled. Some of these days, in gen-
erations yet to come, irrigation will reclaim
much land which now lies useless. Before
that tithe arrives, we shall find it more
profitable to irrigate the dry lands which lie
near N^w-Ycirk, Galveston, San Francisco,
and otlier great markets in various parts of
the country. There is no use in attempting
to disguise the fact that the " national do-
main" is gone. It does not exist as a fer-
tile and iuvjiting field. Much of it is
occupied by substantial and prosper-
ous towns anii settlements. Much more is
available for the usefid purposes which we
have indicated. But it is folly to suppose
that the nation has much more agricultural
land to j sell ot give away.
PETTICOAT PEXSIOXEES.
Among the better classes of Europe mar-
riage is largely a matter of business, being
entered into often from practical and selfish
considerations. A certain amount of income
is eonsjiderea indis]>ensable to the state,
which is held to be incompatible with pov-
erty. Money on one side is not accounted
sufScieht. A rich man is no more willing.
as a rule, to propose to a poor "girl than a
rich girl is to accept a poor man. Wealth
must mate with wealth, so that matrimony,
which might be wTitten matter of money,
becomes little better than a commercial
transaction, the partners to which overlook
want of spiritual adaptation in view of
financial fitness. For a man to pay court to
an heiress, hoping to win her because she is
an heiress, is| regarded over there as rather
creditable than otherwise, and success in
such ente -prise is reckoned as a feather in
his cap. In other wortls, fortune-hunting is
legitimate, and meets the approval of so-
ciety, i ■ II ,,
In the Uiiifed States' the case is quite
different. I \Vhile there are fortune-hunters
here, they are never respected, and when
known to be puch their chances of victory
in connubial campaigns are very slight.
The uaJional| notions on the subject of mar-
riage ;are , Exceedingly romantic, while
they are more delicate and chivalrous, in
the main, than they are in the Old World.
We look at marriage from the sentimental
side ; we make passion a valid e-xcuse for
its commission, -discarding weightier aud
nitioual considerations. If either party
have money, well and good ; if neither
party have it, well and good also. The pecu-
niary aspect of the ([Uestion seldom enters
into it.' But wheu it does, wo have a feel-
ing that property, as well as the capacity of
earningr, should lie with the man. .Work of
some kind is jdeemed a duty here ; the idea
of work mayi be said to be at the base of
the Republic, and men who have no regular
occupation are subject to a certain dis-
psteem* Women are not expected to have '
any employment that brings iu money —
they ifteu do have such emplojinent
thoiighl and are respected therefor — the
general opiuiou- being th-at they should bo
financially dependent on their fathers or
husbahds. But when their fathers or hus-
bands, umless by reason of age or ill health,
aro dedendent on them, the natural order is
reversed^ aud discredit attaches to the men,
who, imder ordinary circumstances, are
ju.stly supposed to be able to take care of
themselves, and also of those naturally
belonging to them.
~It is this belief and the feeling that springs
from it which in this country make the posi-*
tion of the husband of a rich woman very
awkward aud liable to siLspicion. He may
have force of character, fine sensibility, high
sense of honor ; but it can al-.vays be charged
that ho ! has been influenced by mer-
cenary motives ; that he has bartered
his individuality for a mess of mone-
tary pottage. And the charge is certain to
be made, and, imhappily, is pretty apt to bo
believed, at least in some quarters. It seems
hard that a man, when he really loves a
woman and is loved in return, should be pre-
vented from marrying her for the reason
that she is wealthy aud he is not. If he is
80 prevented, the cause is ungenerous, for
it places her property above herself, which
is the precise thing he is anxious to avoid
the appearance of doing. If a woman be
willing to jbestow herself on a man, to trust
him •with her hapjiiness, to nxake him the
arbiter I of her destiny, it would seem inex-
plicable to heir that she should be declined in
consequence of her portion. To urge her
possessions as a hindrance to her posses-
sion would be very likely to stiike her as a
shallowl subterfuge. He cares nothing for
me, she would say ; he tries to hide his want
of affection bjt a pretense ef chivalry.
But a man of delicacy and pride — it might
be a morbid delicacy and a false pride —
woiUd hold a different view. He would look
at the matter through others' eyes ; he
would have a dread of beingmisunderstood ;
he woiild see the inconveniences, impedi-
ments, humiliations that would follow such
a marriage. He would feel that the mate-
rial things — and they are many aud most
important — ^whieh enter into wedlock should
come from : the nian, not the woman ;
and that coming from the woman, they in-
fringe his dignity and lower his self-esteem.
His assiociates might laugh at the notion
that a pretty and charming girl should bo
relinquished because she had the misfor-
tune to jown an income ; and he might de-
tect a spice of the ridiculous in the present-
ment ; but he would be inclined to cleave
to his opinion notwithstauding. He would
remember an ugly word appUed to the hus-
bands of rich women, and the mere thought
of being called a petticoat pensioner would
redden ;: his oheek with shame. He would
run over in ,lus mind the men of his ac-
quaintajice who hadi wedd aH wAalth. ajad re-
flecting on their character or the irant of
it, and the ultimate eflfect of snch iveddings
upon them, he would hardly be encouraged
to follow their example.
Some one might say to him that the fact
of his having a wife in affluent circumstances
need not interfere with his independence
and mode of li'ving; that he could go on
earning his $3,000, $4,000, or $5,000 a
year, and she could spend her income of five
or ten times the amoimt on herself. It might
be whispered that, to save his pride, she
would accommodate herself to his circum-
stances, surrender her luxury for his
competence, and that there should be
no change of surroundings despite the
acquisition of fortune. He would be un-
wise to believe it. Such experiments
have been tried, and they have always
proved melancholy failures. The bridal
couple, so much absorbed in one another as
to render material living subordinate for a
time, conform to the means of the husband.
But as the novelty of the relation wears off,
and the fervor of passion cools, they bethink
themselves of the luxury they might enjoy.
If the man be obdurate, and protests against
the increase of expense as reflecting on him
— something he is not very likely to do — he
will be told that his obduracy is tyrannical ;
that for the sake of his wretched vanity he
compels his wife to a self-sacrifice for which
there is no excuse. He may hold out for a
while ; but if he be of any ordinary mold,
he yields completely, and becomes the sub-
stance of the shadow he so feared-7-a petti-
coat pensioner.
However it may be abroad, men who
marry heiresses in this country, whether in
hot blood or cold, seldom amount to much
afterward. Ease and ceaseless temptations
to pleasure enfeeble their energies and
their ambition. They, know that they are
spoken of as having parted with a portion
of their individuality, of having compro-
mised with their own ideals, and be this
true or false, it is dispiriting and injurious.
They are apt in due time to be what it is
thought they are. Husbands of rich
women have achieved a great deal, but their
achievement usually ends with their mar-
riage. Sensitive young men need not fear
breaking the hearts of charming heiresses,
who as a rule, it must be allowed, part from
impecunious suitors with an anguish that
admits of mitigation.
A REPRESEXTATirE AMERICAX.
The life of Wh-liam B. Ogden, which
closed at High Bridge yesterday, not only
covers a large portion of American history,
but has been closely identified with some
of the most important industrial develop-
ments of the last half century. Bom at the
beginning of Jefferson's second term, he
reached man's estate when JoECS QciNCY
Adams was President of the United States.
He was buying' land at and near the present
site of Chicago when the place of the fu-
ture city was marked only by Fort Dearborn
and a few huts, and wheu the land which
bears some of the costliest buildings of the
metropolis of the West could be had for a
few dollars an acre. His observing eye
took in the future development of the
great North-west while as yet the Indian
paddled his canoe on Lake Michigan, and
the traveler had to pass through the villages
of populous tribes of red men to penetrate
into Wisconsin or to reach the banks of the
Mississippi. He looked over the West-
ern country with the perceptive faculty
of a trained man of business when there
were little more than a, 000 persons be-
tween Lake Michigan and the Pacific, and
he lived to see the population of that por-
tion of the countryjincreased more than
two thousand fold. Tie was, iu one respect,
the Astor of Chicago, only hife practice dif-
fered from our great holders of real estate
in selling whenever he had the chance, and
buying back again at greatly enhanced fig-
ures when he believed it to be profitable or
expedient.
Mr. Oqden's career was full of suggestive
contrasts to an extent which is found in the
life of but few men of business. He was
the first Mayor of Chicago, and he was one
of the chief sufferers from the fire which
threatened to terminate the existence of the
city over whose development he had watched
so sedulously. Wo know of nothing
more dramatic in the history of commercial
trials and triumphs than his experience in
the great fire. He reached Chicago to find
not only that his great lumber yard had
been burned out, but that every ves-
tige of its contents had been blown
away by the hurricane which followed
in the track of the fire. The extent of that
disaster, and its accompanying losses from
the destruction of buildings which he owned
in whole or in part, had hardly been realized
before the news of the forest fires of
Wisconsin broke suddenly upon him.
Peshtigo was the centre of that great
conflagration, and was also the seat
of Mr. Ogdek's saw mills and Imn-
ber business. Thus " at one feU swoop"
went a large part of his property and
his wealth, but these accumulated misfor-
tunes fell upon a man who was something
more than a mere money-grubber, and whose
practical instincts combined with his feel-
ings of humanity nerved him to the ef-
fort of repairing a work of devastation
and ruin which might well have undamited
the most stoical of men. When the Ameri-
can Defoe shall arise to relate the details of
the Chicago fire and the yet unrecorded hor-
rors of the more terrible flame that swept
the pine forests of Wisconsin, the name of
William B. Ogden will have a distinguished
l)lace among the men who were tirst to re-
member in that double ruin the American
spirit of hopefulness and self-help.
In the development of the railroad system
of the country, Mr. Ogden has been one of
the foremost and most potent of coad-
jutors. The Times has before now had oc-
casion to criticise methods of railroad re-
construction with which he was identified,
and may have occasion to do so again. But
the most censorious criticism cannot de-
prive him of the credit of being one of the
most enterprising and far-seeing of the
railroad magnates who have opened up
the virgin lands of the continent to tho
settler, and who have been actuated
as much by an abiding faith in
the future of his country as by
considerations of an immediate return for
invested capital. Mr. Ogden assumed tho
duties of active life before he was out of his
teens ; he held on to them, when other men
have been content to spend years of quiet and
uneventful leisure. He laidthe foundations
of his fortune in ODenine ui> to eoouneroe and
to agricnltnre the great North-west, and he
closed it, retaining the Presidency of the
Sturgeon Bay Canal Company, ■whose work
is destined to bring about a revo-
lution in the carrying trade between
the lumber regions of Northern Wis-
consin and Chicago, as well as to
lend new facilities and new safety to the
general shipping trade of the lakes. In him
an American has passed away of a type
which the present generation does not
produce, and to which future generations
will yield a degree of homage that we are
but partially able to appreciate.

MR. MAliSHALL'S READ OF CHRIST.
Mr. William E. Marshall, the artist and en-
graver, has been for many years at work on a colos-
sal head of Jesus of Nazareth. The medium used is
charcoal, and the picture is drawn on paper, notwith-
standing the large dimensions of the frame. Wliile
the proportions are so well observed that most spec-
tators would take the picttire for one hardly larger
than the size cailed heroic, by actual measurement it
is 10 feet long and 7 wide. Only the shoulders and
breast of the figure are to be seen ; the head aud bust
fill quite thret -quarters, of the space; the face is
turned a little from the full toward the left, aud the
eyes look not directly at> but past, the spectator.
This very remarkable piece of crayon drawing is
now on exhibition at Xo- 625 Broadway, draped and
mounted to the best effect at the end of a long room,
receiving the light from above. Mr. itarshall casta
his strongest light on the eyebrow and nos^e, with a
secondary light on the neck. No chalk has been
used to heighten effects, but the brightest portions
of the face are sufficiently contrasted by heavy char-
coal shadows elsewhere. The Clirist that Mr. Mar-
shall has conceived ought to please many people who
have a secret or outspoken objection to the effemi-
nate t\-pes of the Saviour tradition has handed down.
For while the conventional face is not entirely ig-
nored, there has been a determined effort to make
tlie face powerful as well as benevolent. In this hard
task we can congratulate Mr. Marshall on having
made a success. Not only are the strung shoulders
and breast typical of a robust health and the prime
of manly life, but the face itself has manly ciiarac-
teristics.
The beard is that of a manly man, and the portion
of the chin visible above it sliows detenuiu.-itioH.
The nose is half way between the Arab and Grecian
types, as might well befit tho author of a reli^ua
which drew so much from both Greeks and Jews that
no one can separate the obligations. The whole head
has an OljTnpian stateliness that reminds one of the
pictures of the great Jupiter of Phidias at OlvTupia.
But the other side of the character finds expressiuu
iu the eyes. These are not Greek. They have laige
pupils in large sockets, and look out into the distance
with an absorbed expression that is too thoughtful to
be dreamy. But besides this thought f illness, there is
in the gaze sadness as well. The saJness prefigures
tlie sacrifice tliat he is to make for mankind, and
the firmness bhows that he_ can do what he
sets out to accomplish. It is a much older-
looking portrait than the usual likenesses of
Jesus. About the forehead the modeling is
excellent, and shows the artist's skill with his tools.
Owing to the fact that so far tho Locking of the pic-
ture is paper m«rely, the lower part uf tho face is a
little out of drawiugfrom thenneveiiness of the pa-
per. A canva.s or panel back would bring everything
nuo correct focus again. The picture is saiii to havu
been greatly admired by several clerj;ynH-u of the
Episcopal Church, and iiu^^stiona loive bteii mado
to put it to the best of all uses, t!ie oruameniation of
a church. It would make a very effective altar-
piece for the largest edifice, owiug to its colo.ssal size
and tho simplicity of its effect. The sobriety of ita
color and lack of 'ornamental details would be likely
to recommend it even to those who object to tho
decoration of places of worship. Tlie picture is sim-
I»le and impoaxng, and, though not violently uncou-
vuiUoiud. veck' modem la iU cbanu:t«^
BOX. WILLIAM n. OGDEy.
Hon. William B. Ogden died yesteftin^
morning at 2:20 o'clock, at hi-s villa, Fordham
Heig:hts, in the 72d year of his ago. His life
•was one of great public activity, and perliaps no
man in the community lias done so much as he
to build up the great Xorth-westem country-.
His inclinations never led him to office, and
business activity was with him always prefera-
ble to political excitement, but he had that prid«
of citizenship which impelled him to come for
ward at times of emergency. wRen the countrj
needed mature judgment and energetic and in
telligent action. He had, too, that largeness ol
sotU which kept him serene both in pros
perity and adversity. When the terrible
fire at Chicago in 1S71 destroyed property ol
his amounting in value \o over $1,000:000. and
when the destruction of his immense lumbering
factories at Peshtigo, Wis., following hard upon
it, entailed an additions! loss of mere that
$1,500,000, lie never quailed in face of these
two gigantic disasters. On the contrary. hU
fortitude was equal to the great strain which
was put upon it, and, setting to work anew, he
prepared to retrieve the losses which had been
sustained through these crushing calamities.
Mr. Ogden wa.s bom iu Delaware Country,
State of New-York, in the year 1805. and be-
longed to the Ogden family of Eastern Xew-
Jersey. On both his father's and mother's sida
he was of distingui.sbed linoa^re. The sudden
death of his father while he was yet only 16
years of age called him from the study
of the law. for which he had been intended,
and compelled him to devote his talents, which
were already conspicuous, to the business of his
deceased parent. At 21 he entered a mercan-
tile firm, \\-ith which he remained connecii><l for
a few 3-ears before proceeding v.c*stwarJ. "Wliile
following his busint-ss pursuits, he had occasion
to travel a great deal, and so visiteil nearly all
tlie principal cities of the I'nion. His duties as
a citizen went han<l in hand with his business
acti\-ity, and in their diwrharge he ent<.'red tho
military service of the State when he wiis IS
years of age. He subsi-quently filled, for several
years, tho position of iJriirade Inspector. It
was iu 1S34 that Mr. Ogden came T>rominen'-
ly into nublic life, being in that year elected
to the State Legislature, so that the construction
of the Erie Railway, which was then on the
tapus, might have the benefit of his special ad-
vocacy. The advanta;res of the V>'est were, |
however, always prominently before his eyes,
and his attention had been specially directed to
those of Chicago. Accordingly, he went to
that city in 1 835 and established a land and
trust agency, which is stiil conducted by hia
brother and brother-in-law. and which has
grown to be one of the great institutions of the
West. His business transactions in Chicago
were on an immense scale. He was quick to
discern the courses of business, and e<iually
prompt to supply the needs of the community.
Not conte^nt to wait for the tardj- and itiade-
quate provision made by the authorities for tho
growth of the city, he laid out and con-
structed at his own ox)st mort* than 100
miles of strc*et.s. and he was also the first to con-
struct a swiug-bridge in Chicago. His trans^
actions in r*^al estate were on an inirnense scale,
and in all his vast Imsine.ss transactions he In-
bored energetically to maintain the public faiih
and credit. He did good service in this matter
during the temi of his Mayoralty, (lie was tlio
first Mayor of Chicago. ) and on one occaalon.
at a public meeting convened lo delav the legal
process of creditors, gave such urgent advice t<»
his fellow-citizens not to tarnish the honor of
an infant c'cy that his counsel prevailed. HU
Eublic spirit was great, and his energy uniirin^ ;
is activity and zeal were held iu check by a
well-regulated judgtuent. aud his maxinerj and
address were of the t-aptivaliug or<ler. Tlie
largeness of his enterprise aud the extent
of his influence will be understood from th«
fact tliat he was President of the Medical Col-
lege, President of the Galena and Chicag<,» L'niou
Railroad Company, and President of the North-
w'est Railroa<i Company. He was also cliosentp
preside at the great National Railroad Conven-
tion held at Philadelphia in l-'s.'JO. lo tak«
measures for the construction of tlie Pacilic
Railroad ; was President of tht- Illinois mid Wis-
consin Railroad i.'ouipany ; of the Buffalo and
Missis-sippi Railroad Company in Indiana, until
merged in the Michigiiu Cen:ral. and <>f iho
Hoard of Sewerage Commissioners of Chicago.
He was, besides. President of, and* carried out
largely from his own means the contructiou of.,
the Chicago, St. Paul .and Fond-du-Lac
Railroad, and took au active part iu
the director\- of the Pittsburg. Furt
W'ayue aud Chicago Itailroad Company. He
several times declined the Receivership of that
line at a salary of $2.").U00 per annum, pend-
ing the settlement of legal processes betwtfen
the courts of ditferent States through which th«
road passed. At last he accepted the Receiver-
ship, as no other satisfactory uanie could* he
'found, but declined the large eoniiieiisatiou. on
the ground that the necessities of the road did
not warrant such a disbursement. He was
chosen lii-st President uf the L'nion Pacific Rail-
road upon its ortcanizatioii under the act of
Congress, but the demands of his ovm vast busi-
ness coiicerus conipelle*! him tu retire fmiu the
position. Among other interests requiring his
attention, was his gre:tt lumberiuir esta'oliih-
meiiT, the factories of which were situated
at Peshtigo. iu Wisconsin. A visit jiaid
by Mr. Ogden to Huroiw- in 1 b.j-J-5
resulted in considerable beuvtit to ('liicago.
During that visit iit- was a careful observer of
the great public works of Europe, and bis ex-
amination of the canals of Holland was at the
bottom of the prolect of carryir.g the watei's
of Lake Michigan t^irough the Chicago and Des
Plaines Rivers into the Illinois and Mississippi '
Rivers. Among other advantages wliich ac-
crued to the commuuity in which he lived from
his indefatigable enterprise was the introduc-
tion of reaping and mowing machines into gen-
eral use. and. indeetl. it was at his suggestion
that tlie first reaper was sent to the Loudon
Exhibition of l!?51.
Mr. Ogden was not without political princi-
ples, but politics with him might not be cou
founded with unquestioning partisanship- He
was classtfd as a democrat of the Madis<m
school. He bud never any hesitation alnfUt op-
posing thb nonnnation»i of his awa party when
they seemed to hiiu unti: or impropi:r. :iud as
has' been stated, was himself no ollicc*.sceker.
He had often been elt^cteil to the City Ci-uncils.
but ofiice had no charm lor him, except when
dutj' dictated to hini that in oflicehe would best
subserve the interests of his country. In lfeo2
he declined a nomination for Congress. His
views on the slavery question were decided ;
he believed that " the encroachments of
slavery should U- resis:ed. aud .so. in the civil
W!ir lie was found wiih tli" Rt-publican Party sr-
rayed asrainst the pn-tt-nsidus of the Confeder-
acv. That he was ready to merge hisow^l 'iisUko
tooflice and lo [>"litical life when the occasion
called for -such self-<i<-:iial was ^hown in lb 00,
when iu an important ernurgenc^y. he couscnie*!
to accept a seat in the Illinois Senate, in the
same year the e.\petii<'ncy and proprietj- ut
uominaiing hiiu f*>r Presidi-nt was strongly
ur;red. the advocates of such a course relying
«m the Strom: ground that he hud been foremosS
and inimeus'-irably ahead of all other men in
uiaiiitujning the public credit and advancing
public iniprovemenls. Ind<*ed. the ^'aliieof lit:*
hibtjr< i^ made manifest by the jtubiic work* all
tliniugh the North-west. At ?he time of his
death he was Pre-sident of tlie Stunr»Mm B.-iy and
Luke Michigan Canal and n;;rIjor Company — an
enteri'"'^'^ ^f ^h** ^^^^^ importance to the lumber
interest of Wisconsin, and of .-^ouie moment to
the country at large as fi>rming a link in the
oliaiu of water comrauuicaiion betweeu the Mis-
sissippi and the I.>akes.
His occupation of the villa on Fordham
Heights, where he died. iinU;s back only afe*
years. The same zeal which chanwneriied him
in Chicago cause*! him to devote a great
d»'al of attention to the impr<»venient
of the railroad facilities of New-Vwrk
City. Amung other things, his project
of ' an underground railroatl ban come up

His charities were large, aud nearly all the insti-
tutions of the Nonh-west. including the Rush

^ TBB DISMAL SWAMP CANAL,
f "Washington, Aug. 3. — A correspondent
of the Evening Star, writing from Norfolk, Va.,
states that the published statement that '• the
Government ia interested to the extent of
81,500,00O-in the Dismal Swamp Canal "' isan
error. He says the capital stock of the Dismal
Swamp Canal Company is oidy $480,000. Of
this amoiint the Government owns $200,000,
or about two-flfths of the whole stock. The
State of Virginia held $190,000 of the same
ptock, and individuals the remainder — $96,000.
in 1854 a new company was chartered by the
States of North Carolina and Virginia, iinder
the name of the Albemarle and Chesapeake
Canal Company, with a capital of $1,500,000,
The stock was taken by citizens, and an entire
new canal built, uniting the waters of the Chesa-
peake Bay with those of Albemarle Sound in
North Carolina. In consequence of trade being
diverted from the Dismal Swamp Canal, it had
not enough trafHc to pay expenses, hence the
State of Virginia sold its stock several vears
ago at public sale, realizing only about h per
cent, on the investment. The com;^ny not be-
ing able to pay the interest on Its mortgage

C0ST.\ RICA.
PaN.\M.\, July 25.— Peruvian affairs are
assuming a better shape, although the financial
problem creates general uneasiness. Mr. Henry
Meiggs, of Lima, the contractor, has made a
proposition to the Peruvian Government to
either issue on its own account, or to allow hlra to
issue, $15,000,000 in papermoney in payment
of thfit amount of bonds held by him, to re-
lieve his present necessities, and enable him to
prosecute the work of opening the Cerro de
Paseo mines.
Advices from Lima of July 12 say that a
new phase has been given to the political situa-
tion by a^proclamation is.sued by the President
on the 6th inst., setting at liberty the prisoners
confined in the barracks of Lima and Callao for
the ineffectual movement of the 4th of June, and
the defenders of the Hua^car, who were still
detaiiied on board the transport Limeiia, in the
Bay of Iquique. .A-lthou^-h by the terms of the
capitulatiou entered into between Don Nicolas
de Pierola and Commander More, jOI the Xnde-
pendeccia, when the Huascar was surrendered to
the Government forceri, the followers of Pierola
should have been exempt from imprisonment, it
was evident from the refusal of the Administra-
tion to caiTV out the stipulations of that agree-
ment that the popularity acquired by these per-
sons was considered dangerous at the moment,
and it was thought Advisable^ to wait a short
period before granting them their freedom.
This stet", however, appears to have been a mis-
take. The continued idetention of Mr. Pierola
and his adherents, after the safeguard granted
them by Capt. More, and in the face
of numerous and weiglitv applications made to
the Government for their release, seems rather
to have increased the general sympathy toward
them, and should, as some imagine, any ulterior
movement take place against the constitutional
authorities, the prestige of Pierola will be
found greater than before. This is a consum-
mation that appears vague in the extreme.
Should the reply from the Cabinet jof St.
James be favorable to the demand for redress
made by Pern, Gen. Prado will retain his. hold
on the people's affecrion-s. but should that re-
quest meet with refusal, his Government might
have to bear the brunt of popular dissatisfac-
tion. As it is. we certainly require some k-epose.
We learn from A7 ^om',/-,'/y of Guy^quil of
July 0. rirceived by the Trujillo on the 10th
inst.. that the President of that Repuljlic. Ig-
nacio de Veintemilla, issued a decree on June
28. 1877. suspending the Concordat celebrated
between Ecuador and the Holy See in 18p3 and
revi\ing the famous Colombian law of Patron-
ageof July28, 1^24. .which latter El ICom^r-
CIO promises to publish in its next j issue.
The Bishop of Guayaqtiiljhas issued a protest
against this action" of the President, and the
Church ftarty througljout the Kepublic is, of
course, ver^■ much nppo.sed to the movement.

the examination of the State Loan and Trust
Company, of February, 1875, returned with a
memorandum of the bank's closing. The de-
positors were paid. The bank reported, June 3,
1875, an excess of assets, but the stockholders
wjere not paid in full when the aflfairs of the

appointed until Jan. 28, 1876.- Henry J. Hub-
btird, employed by the Loan and Trust Com-
pany, testified that Henry P. Spaulding, Ee-
c^iyer, was appointed Jan, 28, 1876, and set-

the People's Savings Bank, heretofore referred
to, filed Nov. 11, 1875. Mr. Swayne, manag-
ing clerk of the Attorney-General's ofRce, testi-
lied!regarding the above "complaint. On cross-
exatnination he said Judge Lamed refused to
grant an injunction, although a deficiency was
shojvn of $42,000.
Isaac Smith, a clerk in the department, pro-
duced the report of Jan. 1, 1875, of the Se-
clirity Savings Bank, showing an excess of assets

ernor, nor to any reporters, nor to counseL
William B. Bangs, Secretarv of the Security
Savings Bank, testified that he was appointed
Receiver in Februarj-, 1876; thought it would
pay: GO per cent. On his cross-examination, the
witness said the clerk made false entries, and
there were discrepancies between the general
ledger and the depositors' ledger amounting to
$08,000. He found some losses on mortgages ;
did inot take deposits after Reid's report of No-
vember. 1875. It was understood in the bank
that Ellis had been seen by some of the bank
oncers after Reid's report.
Isaac Smith, clerk in the Banking Depart-
ment, testified as to the examination of the
Mutual Benefit Savings Bank, as follows: It
was examined by Reid on Dec. 1, 1873, when
the jassets were found deficient to the amount
of j $11,400, and the income deficient
to I the amount of $809 10 ; the
banik reported Jan. 1, 1874, that the
Trdslees' obligations were $5,000, and July 1,
1874, the Trustees' obligations were $7,000 ;
to balance the deficiencies Jan. 1, 1875, the
Trdstees' obligations were increased to $9,-
152 21 ; Reid examined the bank in October.
1875, and reported a deficiency in the assets of
$22,700, and the income short $0,391 ;
thej Trustees did not pay the interest
on the call loan for several years ; Reid's ex-
amination made the assets the same as the
bank,! only valued them differently; William
p. Aldrick, Receiver of the Mutual Benefit
Savings Bank, was appointed December, 1875,
and' has collected $9,000 on Trustees' notes ;
ho paid two di\-idends together of 50 cents on
the dollar, and hopes to pay 25 cents more.
Cross-examined — The bank held $27,000 in
real estate in New-Jersey : the loss on bonds
andi mortgages is nearly "$50,000 : there were
no ^ales of real estate for cash ; call loans were
not ipaid. the parties having failed. The counsel
for the State rested after considerable debate.
'Thej request of counsel for Ellis to adjourn

A NOTED BURGLAR IN CUSTODY.
THE THIBP ARRESTED ON THURSDAY BY THE
POLICE PROVES TO BE A WELL-KNOWN
CONVICT — SKETCH j6t HIS CAREER OP
CRIME. ,/
The desperate resistance to arrest made by
the tliief Oscar p. Peterson on Thursday, as de-
scribed in yesterday^s Timxs, was difficult to ac-
count for, in view of his stealing only $26 worth
of goods, but the developments of yesterday supply
ample reason^ for Peterson's conduct. He has
been fully identified by the Central Office
detectives as one of the most notorious and
successful bank burglars in the country, and as a
member of a gang which has operated on the most
extensive scale during the past 10 years. Yesterday
morning Detective DiUcs, suspecting Peterson to be
some prominent criminal, visited him at the Tombs.
He had sent to Sing Sing for Deputy Warden
Jackson, who had lurived and was with him. They
found that the Tombs authorities had very
foolishly allowed Peterson to shave off his
full and luxuriant beard, cut his hair, change his
clothes, and otherwise so completely alter his ap-
pearance as to make identification very difficult. But
they satisfied themselves that Peterson was no other
than the notorious Jim Brady, of Troy, the colleague
of Peter Curley, who is now running a saloon in
Troy, after a bad and successful criminal life, in which
he managed to beat all the lawyers ever engaged in
his prosecution. In 1865, Officer Kealey. now Ser-
geant, of this City, arre.sted Brady for a highway
robbery committed at Cohoes- The matter was,
however, compromised between Brady and his
victim. About seven years ago a very curi-
ous burglary was successfully perpetrated
upon the Orchard-Street Savings Bank, of Philadel-
phia, in which $60,000 were stolen. Brady was the
leader in this robbery. Just before the bank closed
Brady, dressed In a policeman's uniform, appeared
at the bank and told the officeis that he was from the
city detective office. He said that a gang of burglars
had for some da}*^ 'Seen making arrangements to roh
the bank, and they would make the attack that night.
The burglars had been all "spotted," he said, and he
was ordered to put a guard of officers in the bank
that night and arrest the bttrglars at their work. He
requested the officials to make no stir or fuss that
would betray their knowledge to the gang and thus
drive them from their contemplated attempt, and so
prevent their arrest. The officers were ver>- happy
to comply with all the detective's requirements.
That night, at a late hour, Brady and two com-
panions, all uniformed, got admitted to the
bank by the two watchmen on duty, who had been
so instructed. Soon after Brady said to one of the
watchmen, " The^e go two of the burglars : let us
follow them I" The watchman went out with Brady,
and they went on an extended beat. In the mean-
time the two policemen within the bank overpowered
the remaining watchman and l>ound and gagged him.
When Brady returned with the other they treated
him likewise. They then took all the money in the
bank, amounting to $60,000, and left. They were
never arrested for tliis burglary.
Four vears ago Officer Casey, of tho Broadway
Squad, of this City, arrested Brady for a rbhben- of
$5,000 worth of optical instruments. This robbery
was committed on Joseph Gall, optician, of Xo 21
Cnion-square. He was convicted and sentenced to Srate
Prisonfor five years. HeescapedfromAubumsoonaf-
ter incarceration. Eleven weeks after this escape
Detective Dilks obtained clues as to his whereabouts,
and succeeded in tracking him to the room of a
friend, r)r. Harrison, of Cattnine-street. Going
there, he found Brady and the Doctor
in conversation. WTiile Dilks was addressing
the Doctor Brady jumped through the_ closed
window, carrying the sash with him. Dilks jumped
after him and chased him. Brady ran down to Bed-
ford-street and thence to Leroy-street, and when
about a half a block on Leroy, the detective gaining
on him, he jumped through a half-opened window
into a basement dining-room, in which a family were
eating supper. He was followed by Dilks. Wiien the
officer laid hands upon him, Brady attempted to shoot
him. and drew two pistols, one from his pantaloons
pocket and the other from aside pocket of his coat.
The latter pistol caught in the pocket flap and failed
to go off, and Dilks succeeded m disabling him bv a
shot, and arrested him. The main reason wiiy De-
tective Dilks went after Brady on that occasion was
that he had learned that the prisoner was
attempting, at the room on Carmine-.street.
to dispose of $40,000 in Cniied States
bonds. the proceeds of various robberies.
All thene ijonds were found by Dilks on Brady's jier-
son. There were tWo $10,000 bonds beloni^ii; to
Amasa Stone, of Cleveland, Ohio; ten |l,00O
bonds, proceeds of a bank burglary at Glenn's
FaUs. and ten $1,000 bonds, proceeds of a bank
bureiary at Port Jen'is, both in this State. On the
trial succeeding this arrest. Mr. Gall, tlie oj)tJ(.'ia:i,
was subpcenaed as a witness to identify, and did
appear, toidentify theprisoner. Brady pleadedguilty,
and was sentenced to three and a half years in Sing
Sing, and then to be remanded to Auburn to ser\>
out nis five years there. Three weeks after hi-s im-
prisonment he escaped from Sing Sin?. Two months
after this escape he was again arre.-^leo, togt-ther with
Prank McCoy, alias " Big Frank." Jimmy Hope.
Worcester Sam. and another, iu Wilmington, Del., for
robbing the Wilmington Bank of $60,000. Eacii of
the four was sentenced to 50 lashes. .?2,000 fine,
and 10 years' imprisonment in Kewcastle Jail. They
all received the lashes and went to prison. Deputy
Warden Jackson, of Sing Sing, went during tiieir
trial in Delaware, after Brady, but the State author-
ities refused to deliver him up. Two weeks after
their imprisonment in Newcastle, all four escaped.
Big Frank was soon rearrested in Philadeljihia and sent
back. He again escaped. He was recaptured and
sent back a second time, and is in Newcastle Jail yet.
The others were not cantured.
Brady was one of the gang tliat robbed the Ocean
Bank of this Citv, in 1869, "of $400,000 ; the Keese-
^ille Bank, recently, of $60,000, and the Great
Bennington (Vt.) Bank, some time ago. of between
$300,000 and $400,000. When Bratiy escaped from
Auburn in 1S73 tliree other prisoners escape<l wiih
1dm. Their names are Western George. Joe How-
ard, and Dan Xuble. Koble went to Europe and
plied his trade in Paris. He was caiight steahng and
picking pockets in one of the principal hotels in liial
city and is pow serving a five-year term in the iiazas
Prison for tho ofl'euce.
SEVEN IVEEES in A SMALL BOAT.
THE VOYAGE OP CAPT. CRAPS AND HIS WIFE
ACROSS THE ATLANTIC,
A correspondent of the London Daily News at
Penzance, speaking of the arrival at that place of
Capt. Craps and his wife, who left New-Bedford on
May 2S in a sniidl biKit. says : " The v<»ya:^e was
conimennud <»n May '2H. wlu-u thf vo-'^sel left Xew-
BeJford. but by stress of \rcaiher sh»> had to p!i: into
Chatham. Mays., where she stayed until tht.' *Jd
of June, when tiie sails were airain hi)istL-ti,
and tho little piirmy left on lier perilous voyage
with a fair wind. All went well for three
days, the wind being south-west and the sea calm.
The wind then ohancwl to south-east, and it cajne on
foggy for four days, and continued fotniy up u.t fhe
lime when Uiey reached tlie tiraud B;ii'iks, 17 days
out. Here a most fortunate thing happened for tlie
navigators. The dmgue which they had br'>ni:ht
with them was found to be of little us*», bei'ause it was
too light. While off' tho hanks they saw a kei; Jlimtin<r.
which luckily they were able to secure. Capt. Craps
knocked off the -iron hoops, and with some canvas
made a new drogue which answered fttJnirably.
When it is considered that at one part of the voyage
they were obliged to lie to for nearly three days" in a
great gate of wind, it uill need no effort to iiaa^ne
what a fortunate acquisition the new dro^^ie was.
After leaving the banks, where tliey lay to in a gale
for 15 hours, the weather improved, and they s.-iiled
on till the *Jlst of June, when another cfth'
was encountered, ^\"llile l\ingto. the New■i'.e(if^lrd
spoke tlie steamer BataWa. from which a.'isi-iiiance
was offered, and the offer was niatle to take them
ou board, which wa.'? pluckily de<jrnied. After this
incident tliey encounlered a succession of ;;ale>?. the
only wonder being that tdpy sur\ived to tell tlie
story. During the voyage, which <jccupied 4it thtys.
the rudder broke, but happily there was a kj tare oar
on board, which was used until the first couhl be re-
paired. T'ho seas were running mountains hig'.v and
duriiig all that time, even when lyin-? down
to rest, they had to lie on wet clotiies.
Chi one occasion the Captain was for
70 hours steering without relief, thf weather being
so frightful, and on another he was 1 S hours consecu-
tively attending to the drogue. Capt- Craps says he
could not have stood another 15 days ; indeed, he
had not slept for 70 hours wlien he lauded. His
average sleep while coming across was unrlert'our
hours a day. Among the imiay extrannJinary thin^cs
connected with the voyage is that it had to be run by
dead reckoning, as the New-Bedford was not equal to
a chronometer. Only on two occasions could they p.-t
their longitude. \Vhen speakiu>r the two vessels
Capt. Crans had intended to make for Paljunutb.
but the wind was against it. Capt. and Mrs. Craps
seemed wonderfully well after the hardships they
had undergone, though the Captain has a bad hand.
and when he came on shore his other liand was
firmly clenched after 70 hours' steering. The hou>o
they stopped at was invaded by person*; eager to
shake hands with so brave a couple. The bout w.'is
also visited by numbers. Capt. Craps thinks of eoing
on to Falmouth, and afterward to Loudon and the
Paris Exhibition,"

all his onerations. and that he was at all times ready
and willing to furnish it to the Common CouncU. and
also that the weights and measures examined by him
were correct at the time he inspected t}iem. He
then stated that it would be necessaiy to caM several
witnesses for the defense, among them Corpora-

THE PATERSON SILK WB AVERS.
The special committee appointed at the recent
meeting of the Paterson (U. J.) Board of Trade wait-
ed on the Mayor of Patersou^Iast night, for tlie pur-
pose of devising means to protectsuch of the striking
weavers aa are desirous of returning to work. The
committee said it was absolutely necessary that the
well-disposed among the workmen should be
afforded proper protection, and they asked that
he [the Mayor] should issue a proelamatian on
the subject. "The Mayor requests the committee
to put their vievrs in ivriting. and said that he would
bring the subject before the Board of Aldermen. He
admitted that the Police force was too small, but
that was a. subject for the Common Council to con-
sider. The committee having reduced their views to
writing the Mayor promised to attend to the matter,
after which the committee withdrew.

*'The Sure Witness."
"The nineteenth century is the age of noTels."
remarks a literary historian. He might have added,
with equal truth, "andnovel impositions." Studied
politeness has been passed off on us for native re--
finement, the forms of devotion for its essence, and
speculation for science, until we look askance at every
neyv person or thing, and to an assertion of merit
invariably exclaim : "Prove it!" In brief, Satan
has made himself so omnipresent that we look for
his cloven foot every where^ven in a bottle of medi-
cine. Imagine' a laly having a complexion so sallow
that you would deny her claims to the Caucasian
tytMj if her features did not conform to it, purchasing
her first bottle of the Golden Medical Discoveby.
Tlie $1 is paid in the verj- identical manner in which
Mr. Taylor might he expected to purchase a lottery
ticket after his experience with "No. 104,163,"
with this difference; his doubt would be the result
of personal experience, w^iile hers would be founded
on what a certain practitioner (who has been a whole
year trj^ing to correct her refractory liver) has said
conceniiug it. At home she examines the bottle half
suspiciously, tastes of its contents carefully, takes
the prescribed tloso more carefully, and then proceeds
to watch the result with as much anxiety as a prac-
titioner would count the pulse-beats of a dying man.
She takes another dose, and another, and shows the
bottle to her friends. telUng them she *" feels better."
Her skin loses its bilious tint, her eyes regain their
lustre, her accustomed energj- returns, and the fact that
she purchases another bottle Ls a sure witness that she
has found the GoLUES Medical. DisrovERy to be a
reliable remedy for tlie disease indicated. The lady
wisely resolves that in future her estimate of any
medicine will be based upou a personal knowledge of
its effects, and not upon what some practitioner (who
always makes long bills rhyme with pills) may say of
it. Da. Pierce is in receipt uf letters from hundreds
of the largest wliolesale and retail druggists in the

FREIGHTS— The berth freight movement has been
comparatively slow to-day. The demand from nearly all
trade sources has been quite moderate, wit^ rates sbow-
ing little variation. The Grain movement has been on a
restricted scale : and Provisions. Cotton, and other gen-
eral cargo have been offered with reser\'e. The continen-
tal steam lines for Germany and Belgium report the bulk
of the room for the steamers clearing hence in August and
September as already contracted for The inqulrj- for ac-
commodation for French ports is verj- tame, and rates are
quoted weak and irregular. In the chartering line, a fair
demand has been noted for vessels for Petroleimi at full
figures, and a moderate c&Il for tonnage for Grain, the
latter mostly to arrive, at about preWous quotations,
though rather less firmness has been noted in this con-
nection. Vessels for Deal. Lumber, Timber, and general
cargo have attracted less attention, yet have been qnoted
about as before. West India and coastwise
trade interests have been, as a rule, very dull,
the Coal trade showing little animation For

•CTCIDE OF A GA3CBLEA IN AN UP-TO"WN
GAHBLINa SALOON — DRIVEN TO THE
WALL BY BAD LUCK — THE PAPERS BOUND
OK THE DECEASED,
A suicide surrounded by unusually tragic In-
jldents took, place at an earl? hour yesterday morn-
ing in the notorions gambling saloon of "Mike"
Murray, ^*o. 13 "West Twenty -eighth street. At
9:30 o'clock on Thnrsday evening a short, thick-set.
well-dressed man, apparently about 35 years of age,
wearing a bloi^k monstache and imperial, called at
the gaznbling-honse and Inqnired for a man whom,
be said, he met in New-Orleans in April, 1876. The
colored waiter infoxined him that the m&n in ques-
tion was not in. and the stranger left. He visited
the place again at midnight^* participated in a game
which was in progress in thS parlor, and, it appears,
met with only indifferent lock. He drank rather
heavily of brandy, and although seemingly not intoxi-
cated, acted in a ; manner that impressed the
assembled players \ with the belief that he
was mentally deranged. * I^eavlng l^e gam-
ine-table in the ea:tenaion < parlor, he entered
the front parlors, whUch were ' nnoecnpied, and for
some time hurriedly i paced the floor. About 3 A-
M., while an eager group of gamblers were gathered
round the faro table in the rear apartment, all were
startled by the sharp report of a pistol in the
front room. Seversil men rushed into the apart-
ment, and there found the stranger reclining
on H cliair placed {near the marble pillars di-
■viding the front lind back parlors. He bad
shot himself tkroogh the right temple, from
■ H round hole inl which a stream of blood
was flfiwinsr. One man, who examined his pulse, an-
noTuiced that life Was extinct. The Police of the
Twenty-ninth Preclniit were notiiled, and soon after
offirers bore the bodyj on a stretcher to the Thirtieth-
Sireet Station. A search of the clothing resulted in
the finding of a siiaall sum of money, ($1 35.) a
valuable eold watch lind chain, a photograph of the
decea.'ied. taken in Elgin. HI., and a pocket-book con-
taining some papers, including the following, written
on a soiled sheet of pjaper ;
Wew-Orlkans, July 12th, 1876.
To Whom it may Crmrei'^ .■
Mv name is J. F. Murphy- My mother lives in Eleln.
m. I am recently from San Francisco. Have {$2,a(.>0)
twenty-three hundred idoUars on deposit with the Odd-
fellows' Sa\'inc:^ in San! tVanclsco; also some property in
town of Hollister, CaL jAU to go to mv dear mother in ca.se
nf my death, Mv will is deposited with the National
fiold 'Bank and "f rust Company, San Francisco. Truly
and sanely, J. F. MURPUY.
On the back of the note was written :
" My pass-book. Ko. 6,753, is on deposit with the bank
tn Sau p'rancisco." i
From the al>ove it is evident that Murphy contem-
plated committing stiicide a year ago. The tenor of
the otlier papers weni to show that during the period
intervening between] 1873 and 1S76 he was em-
ployed in the capacities of _brakemen and pas!<enger
conductor on the Southern Pacific Railroad, the
Wesiem and Yisalia Division of the Central Pacific,
and the Chicngo and Xorth.jwestem Road. Owing to
a reduction of help on the Central Pacific early in
1S76 he lost his position of passenger conductor.
Since then it appears that he has been
a professional gamoler and adventurer. He
Rpent a few months in New-Orleans, where
he was known by the soubriquet of "Doctor." -and
gained a reputation as an expert in billiards and pin-
pool. Among the d^nmenta found on his person
were an ackDOwIedC|nient of the receipt of his will
by the National Gold Bank and Trust Conapany ; a
.•ertificate of membership in the Sumner Lodge of
Odd-fellows of EUial Cal. ; certificates of $oOO
worth of shares in the Consolidated Tobacco Com-
pany of San Francisco, and others of six shaif s in the
Wallapai Mining and Milling Company; a letter
phowtng that he waa at the Union-Place Hotel on
July 6. 1376. and several passes issued by railroad
conilnctors. It was stated yesterday morning that
Murphy left a letter i in wMch he stated that if he
should" ever find hiniaelf driven to the wall by bad
luck he would destroy himself. Coroner Flanagan,
who investigated the suicltle yesterday afternoon,
failed to find such a letter.
Patrick Downey, aij attacb^ of the gambling estab-
lishment, made the following affidavit before Deputy
Coroner Miller :
•■ I reside at No. 13 TTeKt Twenty .eighth-street ; never
saw the dereased nntil 9:30 P. M. of Aug. 2 ; he came In
looking for a friend of hts whom he h^ met at New-
Orleans : did not find him her*, and left, returning at 1*2
P. M.: he remained herie : drank seTcral times, of brandy
and bittprs: Fmi-bedtwlo cigars: did not seem intoiicate*!
but. in fact, deiangedj walked up and down the main
parlors, sat down on a chair by one of the centre pillars
just a few minutes before tds death, when I was startled
hy the n port of a pistol: no one was in the parlor at the
rime : the doors which entrf»r in the back third room were
oi<en. however, and many were sitting within; 1 rushrd
in, took hold of his pulse, intending to summon a f'hvfi-
rian. but found life extinct ; I notified the Poiice, an<f he
was r*'moved to the station^ I did not at the time know
liSiname; 1 know no cause for this act, except that it
was done under a fit of temporary insanity."
Mnrphy reoisteredl at the Sttirtevant House on
July 30 as " John Frincis Mnrphy, San Francisco."
THE MEERITT ESTATE.
CONTEST OVER THE MILLIONAIRE'S PROPERTY
— THE RESULT OFOfOT MAKING A WILL.
TTie contest for the estate of the late John A.
Merritt stOl coniinnes, aptf the next hearing In the
rase is set down for Mon»lay next at Portchester,
Westchester County. Mr. JMerritt left an estate
valued at $2,250,000. and died without having
made a will. Merritt 's nearest of kin — some 14 first-
rouMns. including Hon. Jared V, Peck and his three
Fisters, the Merritt's, and others — applied to the Sur-
ragate for a letter of administration, which was
granted, and Horf. J. V. Peck and Jacob Campbell,
President of the Pacific Bank, were appointed
administrators. Hundreds of next of kin sprang
up in all directions, inclnding a large nomher from
New-Jersey. New-England, California, and other
places, and they put in claims to the estate. The ad-
ministrators had a difficult tasi: to select the next of
vin but finally the list was reduced to 14 first cousins
and something over 100 second, third, fourth, and
fifth cousins. ' The real property, valued at $66,000,
goes to the first, second, third. iourt'K. and fifth
rousins. giving each about $500 after expenses are
paid. The personal property, about $1,000,000. be-
longs exclusively to the first cotisins, a partition suit
being in progresui. i
A Mrs. Eliza Wilsonj and her son William, appe&red
>>efore the Surrogate and claimed to be the widow_
»nd son resi-ectively I of the deceased. One of the'
Administrators. Hon{ Jared V. Peck, says : " We
ran easilv prove that '^illiam Wilson in not the son
rtf John X. Merritt, and that Eliza A. Wilson is not
Merritts widow." 'fhe following is given as the
status of the case at present:
The first law-suit was that regarding the cutting
and removal of the grass on the Homestead. The
facts regarding these suits, which in the end resulted
in Mr. Pecksiavor. are as follows :
1. Judge Dykman issued an injunction restraining
William Wilson and Ezra Wetmore from interfering
with J. y. Peck in catting the grass on the Merritt
rarm. J
2. Judge GUbert. of Brooklyn, issued an injunction
Bgain.st J^ V. Peck restraining him, but the next dav
he modified his injunction so &s to permit J. V. Peck
to cut and remove the grMS.
3. Judge Dykman modified his injunction, permit-
ting Wilson to cut the grass on the homestead, and —
4. He rescinded his i>erniit to cut the grass on the
homestead by Wilsori. and gave the power to Knapp
ftlater. he being an heir to that part of the farm— J.
V. Peck having no interest in the homestead.
One-half of the homestead, about 80 acres, is in-
herited by the Merritt branch of the faintly — John A,
Merritt having inherited it from his father— while
the other part is inherited by the coufrins and the de-
fendants. Knapp Slater represents the Merritt
branch, and Mr. Pedi the cou-sins. It seems that
Wilson and others have taken possession of the
homestead, and Judge Barnard has cited Wilson,
Tappen, and Stillwell to appear and show cAUse, on
Monday, why they should not be fined and impris-
oned for contempt of court. On Wednesday next,
also. Judge Bantard will hear the evidence on Mr.
Wilson's motion to ;dissolve the injunction. The
Wilson interest, in thieir evidence, attempt to prove,
bv the affida^-its of Ekra Wetmore, Joseph Merritt,
William Wilson, and Prof. George W. Smith, that it
has never been disputed that William Wilson
■was John A. Merrjitts son ; while some 30
prominent citizens, including J- E. Marshall, J.
W LonnsbuTT. George P. Weeks. Capt. Alvah Lyon,
Capt. Isaac Martin, Edward X.. Weeks, William ^ew-
jnan. Drs. Matthews and Sands, swear that thev
never heard it asserted, or ever considered that Wil-
son was Mr. Merritt's son ; and the afiSdavits of some
of the witnesses are exceedingly strong regarding the
birth of Wilson, and Mrs. Wilson's character. On
the Sth inst.. on petition of Hon. J. V. Peck and Mr.
Campbell, administrators, the final accotmting is to
he held before Surrogate Coffin, when Wilson and
«thers will be obliged to submit their evidence.
COL. I>ES AKGES PSRDOKED.
Col Robert Des Auges, formerly a Deptity
Collector at the Ctistom-house, who was tried and
convicted on Nov. 20, 1875, in the United atates

leaiied he would give valtiable information in relation
to the frauds in which he participated. President
Hayes on Monday last granted him a full and uncon-
ditional pardon. The pardon was received by United
States Marshal Pajfn yesterday, and an officer was
«ent immediately to notify the prisoner.

ENFOECLNG 2ME EXCISE LAW.
WILL THE POLICE EXECUTE THE NEW GEN-
ERAL ORDER t-^RUSHING TO THE EX-
CISE OFFICE FOR HOTEL LICENSES — THE
POSITION OP TH^SE HOLDING RECEIPTS.
The long-expected general order of the Board
of Police in regard to the enforcement of the Excise
law was issued to the force yesterdaf . The text of
the order, which was pnjblished in THE TiMES, has
already called forth ii^nch criticism, and a wide
diversity of opinion exisis as to how it ■will be en-
forced. To a Times reporter Superintendent Wal-
ling said yestenlay that no special instructions
had accompanied ' th<» order, but that the
Captains of the various precincts were ex-
pected to enforce it without fear or
favor. *' Are yon going to * pull ' Gilmore's' Garden
on Sunday nights ? '' askod the reporter. The Super-
intendent shrugged his shoulders. " I cannot enter
into details," he said ; " I ran only s.iy generally that
a Captain will be held reispnnsible for the condition
of his precinct, and if the violation of the law is
winked at, the board wil] take cognizance of it. The
order has been officially promulgated to the force,
and they are expected to earn- it out, both in letter
and spirit." There has been no calling together of
the Captains and reading to them the law, as was the
case prior to the wholesale raids of last year.
At the office of the Excuse Commissioners a batch'
of perspiring would-be "i hotel " proprietors blocked
up the passage-w.iys in their eagerness to get in their
applications before the trovible commenced. Over,
1,800 of these applicatiolns have been lilcd with the
Commi<;s loners already,
the number will
3.000. The moduA

appears at the office of the board, swc.irs that an inn
is needed in his neighborhood, tluit he has the
necessarj' ability to kedp it, and that if granted a
license to keep it he ^vill allow no gambling or dis-
onJerly rondnct on the prrniises nr in any outhouse
connected therewith. He tjlien pays $50, receives a
receipt therefor, and dcpah^. It the Inspector of
the board reports that h^ is a reputable person
and ready to comply i"wiih the requirements
of the law his appllir-arion is approved and
submitted to the boaird for final artion.
Two sureties worth $.500 apiece are required to bind
themselves on a penalty Inf $"^.">0 each that the " pro-
prietor'' will carrj' out his promises and obey the
law, and the latter is furthermore required to taVie
oath that all his statemeitsJ &''.. in th<> I'rnmises, are
true. If. on the other Iwind. the board find him un-
worthy of a license, lii-s Bpt(licali('u is <li.-iTnisse<l and
his money refunded, ^tr. Ca^iwr C. Cbilds, clerk of
the board, says that thrre r.evcr has b«-t>n .sii^'h
a rush for licenses in the niemorv of ilie
oldest oflBri.il. It did .st-em at tim*'.'! ii.=t
though every other man in New- York wanted
to start an "inn. tavern, or hotel," and had bcfu
seized with a sudden mania for acquiring " three
beds and the requisite amount of bedding." Com-
missioner Morton, who [ba-s been doing all the work
of the office during the iiotl weather, while bis col-
leagues have been nisti'jaliiig at Saratoga and the
"White Mountains, is Ov^ih-nn with business and
wishes Messrs. Murphv and] P.-itter.=;on would return
and relieve him of at Vast p portion of the load of
official anxiety. The Commissioner says that only
30 out of the 1,800 applSra^lons nave been approved
so far. but that the bo.nni w II probably take deciMve
action on the majority of cases before them \m'n-
in a short period. |
Some cooIne.<!s has ensriedlbctween the E^else nnd
Police officials owing to the latter stationing two
burly patrolmen in the fffice of the Exrise Commis-
sioners, probably to see that they do their work cor-
rectly. Mr. Morion says he has no intention of in-
terfering with the PoliVe I)cpftrtm<fnt. and that ha

arrested for illegally gr&ntnig a license to a Grai of
Ballon keepers doing l[usijnes-i in Paik-'-ow. The
case was brought bei'ore ^us[ii-e Sniith, in the Tombs
Police Court, and was elal orately jirgurd on both
sides. The matter was ijhcTi left in the hands of the
court, who proiniNed t'l igive it his early nttf^ntion.
and render a deci.'^ion onj it. .Since iheii nothing h:is
been heard from him- It'ei rins tluit he- ini^ht li;ive
forgotten all about this important ranttt-r. a re-
porter ventured to nsk Ithe .Tii.stii'f yesterd-iy wh;tt
ne proposed to df> jabii'mt it. He was told
that the Justice really eonldj not wiy. a« he had bpen
so busy that he hnd not luditime to give the subje'-t
that - attention -whii-h IM gravity demfluded, Hfi
hoped, however, to l>e able to dispose of it pretty
soon. It is safe to .say tlint it he dcci.«ion of al'oli.e
Court will not settle the oxrise qup>tion one w.iy or
the other, and if the cnse in | point were only dc-uled
by Justice Smith nnd apptiuled to a higher court,
(which it certainly will bp in nny evrnt.) innd there
decided, there would be poni^ precedent on whirh all
the cases might he brouirit before the courts without
further unnece.ssar>' delay.
Amone the wejilthier; defllprs the nntinn of any-
thing more than temporary intprferenre by the
Police is scouted as ridicjtlpus. "They tried it in
1866, they tried it in I-'IS, and they tried it last
Summer, and they failed! every time, and will fail
now," said the proprietbr r>t a prominent down-
town restaurant last I eyening to a reporter
of The Times. ''Thelfa-rt is. ad. led he. "the
Police Commissioners are only scared into thu* thing
by the terapenince people and the t€-totalei^ threat-
ening to impeach t tern. Tl^ev wouldn't do it if they
eotild help It, and they will only make a show of
doing it as it is. The fact is that the law is utterly
impracticable, iinpopular with the grent mass
of the community, and would be voted down
by a majority even | of the respectable
classes if submitted |to a popular vote.
Chancellor Crosby admits it when he says that a
proposition to allow "the sale of wine and beer under
proper restriction -would Ve anriors*-*.! by IT.'^.OOO ont
of the 200,000 voters of'th*^ Metropolis. Next yc.ir
the Legislature will be forced to pass a law ihat'wiU
meet the approbation of reisnectable liquor dcilers
and of the moderate tempehmce people, and then,
and not till then, will wei have peace.''
ANAFFECTIXG SCENE tx A POLICE COTTRT.
An affecting scene "vra^ witnessed in the Es-
sex Market Police Court I resterdav afternoon when
Conrad Schaffer, a respectjsble-appearing Ge'rm.iu,
charged his only daughter, liena, with leading a life
of shame. With great dijfficalty, and after repeated
efCorts, the father toldj hf w his child had left tier
pleasant home in WUliamsbui^h to obtain work as
a servant, and after living fi: r a short time in several
places, had gone on the town. He had found her
In a house of ill-famje on Blee eke r- street.
Justice Kilbreth questionci^ the girl with regard to
her numner of life and the qiuse of it. She too was
deeply affected, and she answered with apparent
candor, not denying hei: father's accusation. She
said she was 18 years old, j^Vhile at home she had
been obliged, she said, to w^ork everj* day, including
Sundays, and when she ^eut out to service her
father would call upon her and by his conduct create
in the minds of her empjoyers stispicions against her,
in consequence of which |she was repeatedly dis-
charged ; that she had j bejen in the habit while in
service of visiting her putrents every two weeks, but
that she always had trouble with them and so dis-
continued her visits. Finally, having been out of
work two weeks; she entered the house in which she
was found, told her trouble^ to a woman there, and
accf^pted an invitation I to{ stay. In reply to the
Judge's inquiry, she said! that she wanted to reform,
but would not return to her father's house. The
girl was conamitted for six months lo the care of the
^ters of Mercy. j _l

DAY'S EVENTS.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 3. — Baclng gossip
continues to monopolize the attention of the loungers
on the piazzas, and yesterday's events were dis-
cussed to-day, in which discussion it has been ex-
plained why such a horse did not win who shotild
haye won, and it has become very clear to
tbe| understanding of the combination book-
makers that the wrong horses were first too
many times. They were badly hit again yesterday,
as t|he dead heat in the last race caught them both
ways. All the combinations ending with Trouble
anc Waller paid half the money the book-makers laid
agftdn-U tiiem, and made "hedging" a had htisiness.
Thi?re has been much criticism of the judges in regard
to their decision in the steeple-chase, as It was ap-
parent to all disinterested persons on the grand stand
thflb Trouble had ,won the race, and the mutual
pool Speculators began to pay the Trouble tickets at
the usual discount. In justice to the judges on this
(decision, it may be said that every close finish on this
trai^k has given rise to diverse opinions, because the
pec pli ) on the grand stand see the finish
at a different angle from the judges. This
Jan and should be obviated by removing
he ji; dges' stand from its present position to where
t|he| til mine stand is now situated, for undoubtedly it
|s dn i,he wrong side of the track and causes much
fee. in ; ; and it is certainly injurious to the interests

COLLECTOR FREELANiyS CASE.
WHAT THE ACCUSED HAS TO SAY CONCERN-
ING THE CHABGE£ AGAINST HIM — HE IS
BEADT AND BAg4b FOB AN INVESTIGA
TION.
There are no fresh pa rticulftra of consequence
to note in the case of Iitemal Revenue Collector
Preeland. of Brooklyn, Who (as published in The
TiMBS yesterday) is charged at Washington with
aerioufl Iri^egularities in the management of the
affairs of Wa district, and there will be none until
Mr. Brooks, Chief of the Secret Service Bureau, to
whom the eiaminntion of the business of Mr. Free-
land's o£Qce has been intrusted, begins his in-
vestigation. It is' not definitely known when
this will be, but a visit fro m. the Chief is expected on
Monday, if it should noi occur to-day. Collector
Freeland's troubles were t le talk of Brooklyn yes-
terday. There were many who warmly sympathized
with him. and believed hir I guiltless of the alleged
wrong. There were not a few, on the other han«i,
who, while not expressit * any opinion as to his
guilt or innocence, w 're decidedly in favor
of his removal In any e* -nt. The Collec-
tor himself was in gond spirits, and confident
of an honorable vindication from all the a.s-
persions which had been, cast upon hira. All he
knew about the charges against hira was what ho had
seen in The Times, and what he had seen ^here
amounted to nothing. About the time of President
Hayes' inau^iratiorn. the Collector's office had been
inspected, and investigated, and examined, and turned
upside down by officials delegated to look into every
book In it, and every nook;and comer of it, and noth-
ing had been found that reflected discredit upon his
management of th0 Government's affairs in a single
particular. He Tvais ready now. a.s then, to meet any
and all chatges, and rested senire in the conseion«-
ness that it would 'be sho^vn that there was nothing
to be found on which he cnnl>i be taken to task.
Mr. Silas Boone,! the Peputy Colle<-tor under Mr.
Freeland, cannot .sdequstely" express his contempt
for the persons who have broueht the charges against
his chief, ".whoever thev itiay be.' There Ls not the
sliphtest foundation for their complaints, he savs,
and Chief Brooks will find thnt out to his satisfaction
before he has been many hoTirs enga::ed in his in-
vestigation. It Wfis ridiculons. to Mr. Boone's rninii
that Collector Freeland ever had, or ever would have.
Government stamps weitrited >'y tJie pound in.stcid of
havlnc them counted. The only object In doing this
would be to defrajud the (iovemment. and this, he
was certain. Mr. Freeland would not do. Mr. Bo.,ne
was not prepared tjo speak about the other cbarges,
but he said he did not I»elieve any of them.
The United States officials in Brooklyn sav they
know nothing about the ichanres Hgains't, Collecio'r
Freeland except what theyj have read in the newRpa-
pers. but thoy seem to be'<!tf the opinion tliat that of-
ficer will cive a good a^cfiunt of himsr-Ii and of the
manner in which be j conducts bis busineRs
whenever ' he is .called npon. Tlie r»,tVn-
A fffitji, which is edited by Mr. Freeland s
friend. Mr. Piilmeri says that the "true inwardness'
of the whole matter is th*it " it t.s another of those
childish and futile efforts to hurl Mr. Beecher an"!
tftcast odium upoiii his frif^ids." It seems to think
that the charges "will bring execration and contempt
upon the accuser, if they do not consign him to the
contemplation of ihe hca,vens thmnch a grated win-
dow." Meanwhilel nobody .seems to know who the
accuser is. 1
It is understood in Rmol|cl\-n that the opposition to
Mr. Freeland has arisen r^n acrount of the discour-
teous manner In which he and his deputies havp
treated cig^ir-makers and} other person* who are
obliged tovifilt his omre.j .Ml they w;int is th«t a
younger, more cnmpetenti and more obliginc man
shall be appointed in his place. It i.s also understood
that the plan of weighing instead of counting stamp?*
was actually adonled al»out two years fttfo. but there
is the emphatic denial of Cjollector Freeland and half
a dozen others to; offset thils claim.
i CRICKET.
T&XTCK , QASTE BETWEEN THE MANHATTAN
CLUB AND THE MERIONR OF PHILADELPHIA
— THE FORMEB ThIe VICTORS.
There, T^raa a match game of cricket played
yesterday on the Ptospect I Park Parade ground be-
tween the Manhattan Club and the Merion Club, of
Philadelphia. A considerable number of cricketers
gathered on the ground }to witness the game, and
the play, at times brilli&nti was roundly applauded.
The turf was in good condition and the day was fa-
vorable, there being a light breeze blowing during
the whole game. Play commenced soon after 11
o'clock A. M., with the Manhattans at the
wickets and the Meriona in the field. Hos-
ford and Jenkins were the first to use the
bats and made a fine stand for 50 runs : they were
at the wickets one hour and a half. Jenkins was
bowled out, and Hosford was run out by a mistake
of Greig's. Braithwatte's bowling was excellent, his
record showing 125 balls delivered, only 23 runs
made on them, while 8 maidens and 7 wickets are
scored to his credit. During this inning Greig made
several good_ leg hits, for which he is noted, and
scored two f otir and several three hits ; Graham was
bo*led out before he struck a ball ; and Stroud, at
long off position, missed an easy driver and caught
a very cUf^cult one from Grei^. Tne ^-isitors are
young and active men, and their fielding was ea-sy
and graceful, but to , be more effective it
needs carelPul cultivation. The- Manhattans' first
inning lasted nearly three nours and they made 107
runs. The Merions played but one inning. In this
innLig they made 00 runs, twenty of which must be
credited to Braithw^te, altbough Bailey, Anderson,
and Comfort made some ven^ good hits for three
runs each. ^ In this inning McDougal made a splendid
catch at point, taking the ball hot from George Ash-
bridge's oat. Greig, Jenkins, and Hooper did some
very effective bowling and Graham made three
wickets off il8 balls. The second inning of the Man-
hattans was for practice. It lasted about half an hotir,
when the game was called, to allow the Philadel-
phians time to reach ' Staten Island, where they play
a game to-day. The following is the score:

There was a ^fcrious disturbance in Rahway
yesterday, and President Lui"r;errj-. of tho City
Council was compelled to c-tU ont the s-ospendfl
Police force. The trouble was cnu&ed by a dispute
between Messrs. Hall and Brewster, who crvra a dock.
Brewster denied Hall's right to tuiload cn:il a: the
dock, and had placed some hesvy timliers upon the
dock so as to obstruct it. and when Hall s raen under-
took to remove them Brewster pf*t another cane to
prevent them. The City Attorney decided that~the
dock was a public thoroughfare. an"i the Police

Monday. July 16, 1877. J
At 7 o'clock this morning tlie fortress of
Nikopolis. with its 40 ^ns, two monitors, and
garrison of 6,0OO men, surrendered to the army-
corps of three divisions of infantry, one divi-
sion of cavalry, and eight batteries, commanded
by the Enssdan General, Baron Krlidener. From
about noon yesterday we could perceive through
our glasses an unusual bustle and movement in
the town : the citadel ajid the monitors fired
spasmodically at Islacz and Tumu-MagureUi ;
small bands of Cossack SorSemen showed them-
selves along the ridge of hiUs running parallel
with the river, as if onareconnoissance ; the d^
tachment which had received the Roumanian
visit on Saturday night retired inland, and the
occasional booming of heavy guns on the land
front of the works indicated that at least a
strong demonstration : was being made on
that side against the town. The cannonade
Increased in intensity as the day wore by, until,
by nightfall, it had assumed the proportions of
a regular and well-sustained bombardment, and
it became evident that Nikopolis was seriously
attacked. The Russian batteries gradually got
Into position on the neighboring heights, and
fired by salvoes ; but, from our side of the river,
we cotild only judge of the progress of the en-
gagement by its sounds eU view of the opera-
tions against the southern front being shut off
by a ridge of hills, until about R P. M.. when
some field guns, supported by a column of cav-
alry, drove off a Turkish battalion stationed
there and opened upon, the town, receiving a
feeble reply from the citadel and the monitors,
which, in their turn, were shelled from Islacz
and Tumu-ilagurelli.
Nikopolis is built on both sides of the opening
of the Valley of the Osma, at the point where
the river of that name empties its waters into
the Danube, here forming a deep curve, defended
by two steep promontories, on one of which stands
the citadel, on the other a tall watch-tower,
with an epaulement an^ a few old gun.s at its
base. The emtinte of the town consists of a low,
irregularly-shaped basxioned front, with the
narrow, shallow ditches;common to all ancient
Turkish fortresses, but no detached works had
been erecte<l at any point of the surrounding
hills from which the position is commanded,
except at the little villaire of .Simonitz, where a
redan, with a couple of guns, held out until
nearly 10 P. M.. when it-s fire ceased, and. to
judge from the rattle of the musketry, it was
stormed. All through the night the cannonade
went on unceasingly, the noise of small arms
mingling, from time to time, with the roar of
the heavy piecasi. We could, in reality, see very
little, as the general employment of percussion
projectiles has done away with much of the
spectacular grandeur of a bombardment, but
the Turks threw a few old-fashioned fuze shells,
and the flaShes of the giins on the citadel and
In the monitors and the lurid glare of the
flames in the burning town gave a cer-
tain relief to the picture. About 11 P. M.
there was a slight lull in the storm, and then a
crash of musketr>-. lasting some 10 minutes,
followed by a redoubling of fury in the cannon-
ade, betokening an assault or a sortie and a re-
pulse. Half a dozen times, before morning,
was this performance repeated, for the Turks
seemed to fight with all their traditional fury
when behind intrenchments, but the crowning
by the enemy of the ridge of hills in rear
slowly but surely overcame their stubborn de-
tenninaMoiL Gradually their fire slackened,
then ceased entirely, and then reopened more
fiercely than ever, as if with a dying effort, and
at last, at 7 o'clock, the red flag was lowered,
and the black eagle of Russia floated over the
ramparts of the Turkish fortress. The resist-
ance was most gallant, as was the attack, and
the losses on both sides must have been very
heavy, as the Osmanli made several sorties, and
the Russian forlorn hope was repulsed three
times in its attempt to storm the breach, after
the southern front had been battered down
\fj their artillery.
The defense of Nikopolis, whose works are of
the most insignificant character, is an earnest
of what may be expected in the quadrilateral
and on the line of the Balkans, where the posi-
tions are really formidable and the numbers
will be more nearly eqtial. It fully justifies my
prediction that the Turks would die as gamely
as their ancestors had done whenever they were
called upon to defend their firesides, and had a
wall of some sort Iwtween them and their enemy
to give them the confidence which they lack in
the open field, and their commanders. Achmet
and Assam Pasbas deserve every credit for
holding out as they did during 12 nours against
superior forces and heavier metal, with the cer-
tainty of defeat before them. The Roumanians
pretend that their batteries at Islacz contrib-
uted very materially to the success of the en-
gagement, but as the action was fought on the
land side, entirely out of sight of any one on
the left bank, and as there is an ab.seuce of all
testimony except their own word on the sub-
ject. I am inclined to think that their achieve-
ments last night were limited to the
expenditure of much ammunition, and
to the driving in of a Turidsh bat-
talion which was endeavoring to make a
movement against the Rusr ian left flank or to
retreat to Kahova-^probably the latter. The
capture of the two monitors is a more serious blow
to the Turks than even the surrender of the
garrison, and it must be admitted that national
energy and courage is not well represented by
the Naval Department of the Empire ; ofeef by
one the formidable flotilla of the Danube is
melting away, and that too without the accom-
plishment of :i single act beyond the shelling of
a few open towns or defenseless villages, al-
though with ordinary pluck they might have
prevented the movement on Sistova and have
rammed to pieces the one bridge which secured
the communications of the army of operations
with its base of supplies. The Navy may do
better under Hobart Pasha in the Black Sea. but
it has made a wretched exhibition of itself on the
Danube. The town must have suffered terri-
bly, ail of thp lower part, which was built of wood,
was in flames during the night, and heavy
clouds ol black smoke, with a lurid fringe
around them, still hang over , it like a funeral
pall, while few of the delicate minarets and bril-
uant copper-domed mosques which used to ^leam
so brighuv in the mid.tt of a sea of verdure re-
main oninjured. This much we can see through
our glasses, but no solicitation on the part of
any one can procure a permit to cross the river.
NiJLopolis was a thriving port of entry to Bul-
garia before the war. and has a certain strategic
importance now. as it stands at the head of all
the lines of communication between the Danube
and the interior, but its population, composed
of about equal proportions of clean Turks and
filthy Christians, has remained stationary in
point of numbers since 1S35 : it was 10,000
uien, and it counts about 10,000 now in this
month of July, 1877. Last night's battle is
not the first which has |t)een fought in its
environs. Beneath its walls the flower of the
French and Burgundian cSivahT- under Jean
Sans Feur and Philippe of Artois was exter-
minated, and in 1396 the army of Sigismund
of Hungary laid down its arms before the Sultan
Bsjazet
A Russian officer, who has come over -with
dlfjKtff^** informs me that the town is smashAd
to pieces, and that the streets are filled with
dead and wounded. Of these last, boatloads
are being rowed across to Tumu-Severin every
minute. The population is utterly cowed, but
its Christian element is very jubilant, and of-
fered the traditional bread and salt to the vic-
tors, as soon as the notablesi had recovered suffi-
ciently from their fright to crawl out of their
hiding-places. Where these were 1 am at a
loss to imagine, as cellars in Oriental dwellings
are very rare exceptions. There is no ques-
tion that the casualties amobg the non-com-
batants must have been frlgh^iUy numerous,
both from the effects of the bombardment and
the probable exce.sses of the Tiurklsh soldiery,
whose rage in moments of | defeat always vents
itself upon the wounded ! and the lilfp-
less, and stories of mtitilition and mas-
sacre are circulated and Ihelieved. That the
Chri.stiahs are delighted that the danger is over
there can be no doubt, tor lit lis not pleasant to
have one's crockery demolished, a*d one's house
rendered uninhabitable by 10-inch shells, at
any hour of the day or night, but they would
have gone through the same bread and salt and
wine demonstrations if the conquerors had been
iloslem instead of their own cO-religionists, and
they are quite ready to do .so wjith just as much
fervor, if, by any turn in the tide of war, the
O.imanli should come back again. The Bul-
garian Christian on his native heath is a disa-
greeable person, a whining, sycophantic hound,
always willing to lick the hand which strikes
him. and ever ready to betray even Ms own
brother if he can make anything for himself by
the treason. We saw enough of thus la-st Sum-
mer, when the gallant little detachment of Rus-
sian volunteers, which had crossed the Timok
and driven out the Florentin garrison, was sold
to Osman Pasha by one of tlieir Bulgarian re-
cruits, and was taken and I bdtchered'to a man
for a handftU of Turkish gojld. I

THE ATROCITIES I\ BULGARIA.
A STATEMENT FROM TUB TURKISH MINISTER
OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS DETAILING RUSSIAN
AND BULGARIAN ACTS OF BARBARITY.
Aristarehi Bey, the Turkish Minister in
this City, furnishes the following: "The
Jlinister for Foreign Affairs has addressed the
following circular to the diplomatic agents Of
the Porte abroad :
' I continue to perform the most painful duty
in calling your attention to the new acts of bar-
barity which, from the telegrams received
by the Sublime Porte, are committed by
the Russians in the cities and villages
they invade. They don't limit themselves
|to plunder the Mussulrnap population Of
all it owns, but they also s jbject the woipen anil
children to the most sham rfiil and dreadful tor-
tures, and that even the day after a ptjoclama-
tion by the Emperor Alexander wherein was
promiaed to the Mussulman inhabitants security
and justice for their persons, for their families,
and their property. The following are some of
the recent acts of cnielty which have be^n
brought to our knowledge : The ' inhabi-
tants of Terns, near Timova, having,
on the approach of the enemy, taken refuge in
the Mosque, were burned alive in the inelosure.
The enemy having met 300 carts filled with fu-
gitive fainilies, destroyed them with caimon
shots, then completed Uieir work of extermina-
tion in massacring all the men and women
they could find in every suburb or
village occupied by Russian troops.
The dwellings of the Mussulmans
were given up to the flames. The Bulgarians,
excited.by the example of the Russians, com-
mit against the peaceful and resigned Mussul-
man population acts of barbarity and outrages
still more atrocious andi inore horrible than
those perpetrated by the iiivaders. It is necSs-
sary that the civilized world should be acquaint-
ed with these horrors, to Express its indignatiqn
and to brand them.' "1 t
TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
THE TITEKISH MINISTER ON THE GENERAL
SITUATION.
From the Boston Advertiser, Aug. 4.
On Thursday last a gentleman from this city
had an Interview in New-York with Aristarehi Bey,
Minister for Turkey to the Unlied States, when the
following convexsatiou took place :
His Excdlency — ^This is a very sad war, but it is one
for which we are certainly not to blame. For the
last 20 years Russia has endeavored, by every means
in her power, to force npon us a pretext for war.
Wb have always treated her with the greatest con-
sideratioii ; we have Baffered the greatest possible in-
dignities : but now that war Is forced npon us we in-
tend to do the best wo can, and flght to the last gasp.
Q. ^The war has not been brought to so ipeeoy a
termination as was expected ?
His Excelleney— No. Every one here aeemsd to
think that we should be swallowed np ; but you see
we ax© still fighting, and although we axe sadly tn-
ferior to the Russians, yet perlisps one of those
pieces of luck may occur which may help to rid us bf
this terrible state of affairs. ;
Q._i)o you consider yoiir sew Oommander-hi-
Ciuef an able officer 1
■His Excellency— Yes, he Is a very good soldier, but
Solefanan Pasha is quite his equal. It is a very
absmd report which has got abroad tbat Mehemet
AliisaOerman. He came to Turkey when he was
, onita aa infant, ,^and has been broo^t U9 and
educated lln' Turkey. He Is as much a Turk as I am)
although his origin is German, and his father's name
was, I believe, fehnlz.
Q.— What do you think of the feeling in America
with regard to the -Srar )
His Excellency— At flr»t| when the war broke out,
every one here seemed to |8ympathize with the Ras-
sians. It went, indeed, soi f«r that It was expected
that the American ladies jwonld go in a body to the
Bossian Embassy and throw their diamonds at the
Minister's feet for the use of tlie Czar ; but now the
feeling seems pretty evenly divided. The Republicans
seem to sid^ with Russia, ; and the Democrats with
Turkey. But at the commencement of the war so
•many mistakes were made, and so mnch false
news wasipnblished in the'p.\pers. that I do not won-
der at the feeling being with Russia. Everybody
knew more about Turkey than I did myself. The
gentlemen of the press used to make some dreadful
blunders in geography, and when I pointed out these
mistakes they persisted they were right, even down
to the very province of which I was once Governor.
Q.^Talking of ofllc«iB,,how is Col. Baker appre-
ciated ? I '
His Excellency — ^From oU acconnts, his sert-ices are
very mnch appreciated, especially as a cavalry officer.
I was asked the other day by an American gentleman
if I did not consider that the appointment ^f so no-
torious a person as CoL Btker wcs amistilke. 1 told
him that t did not think » was any worse than the
recognition of >Ir. Henry Ward Beecher by the
.Americans.
Q. — ^Tlie stoppage of the Providence Tool Company
is rather a serious matter.
His Excellency — Yes. I only heard of it this morn-
ing, and there must be some mistake. I coramuni-
cated at once with Affek Pasha, and the matter will
be settled in a few days.
Q- — It appears the company do not wish to burden
themselves with any further risk, and therefore de-
cline to increase their liabilities by carrying on .such
expensive works.
His Excellency— They have been paid for 400,000
rifles, I believe, and although the country is in any-
thing but a flourishing condition this matter will
doubtless be attended to at once.
Q — ^Wl^at do you think of the Emperor's request
toj i^nelaiiid; respecting the Egyptian troops in the
Balkaiis ll
jfDs Eiiellency— I think it Is no doubt true, but I
also think it is the most absurd piece of nonsense
imaginable.! England is, however, too sensible not to
sefe throukh such a very thin veil. No doubt it was
thpngbt that Ru5:sia was makinc a great concessiou
when she informed Lord I>erhy "that she would not
cerry the war into EoTt. Why, the thing was absurd,
,*^ir; how|was she going to get there ? She has no fleet.
and as to' hercomlng from Asia Minor. I think what-
ever mi^ht have been ,ier chances from Ihsl direction,
th^y exist no longer. Even supposing Kats had fallen
and the Russians were masters of that part of Asia
Minor, the distance between Erzeronm and the
Egyptian ft-ontier does not mean one day's march
op two ; it is a verj- considerable distance, and not
eyen practicable in" a fortnight or tlirce weeks. If the
Rnssisusi had 100,000 men in Syria, oreven half
that number, they then might say to England, with
sopie sort of basis. We I db not intend to cross the
Egyptian frontier. But they have no w;^' there :
they have no troops with which they can pflPsiDijyreach
Egynt, or means of getting them there. What. then.
is] the use of this empty conc<-ssion. folioWed by tlio
absurd Intimation respecting Egyptian troops on the
Balkans 1 Besides, if Egyptian troops are there.
tl^ey have killed some of , these troops as well as the
Turkish ones. And they treat them in the same way
asj they would any others to whom they may be
opposed.! I
^. — Hc^wido you account for Oen. Gourko's rapid
advance and passage of the Balk&ns t
His Excellency — That| was no doubt effected
thjrough jlhe agency of the Bulgarian insurgents —
Htiacs they are called — who have taken refuge in the
Balkans jfor some lime past, and ought lone ago to
have been summarily dealt with. But for the weak-
ness of pur forces Cten. Gourko would have been
cut to pieces before the Schipka was taken.
Q. — ^What is your opinion aliout the action at
Plevna!
His Excellency — ^We have gained a great victory.
Bi|d that against a superior force. Tho Russians ac-
knowledge to 160 guns, just three to one of what
we had. It may do good ; I am no enthusiast, nor
do I wish to boait ; I only hope, and I know what
little material we have is good. I think the battle of
Plevna will delay matters, and I aisw think the Kus-
siana will lose a ereat many men by disease. Hut
they arej three and four 'to one. All we can do is
struggle to the end. ^
Q. — Do you not hope for assistance from Enuland 1
His Excellency — It is I hard to say. If England
would land.eO.OOO troops in Bulgaria, which she can
do, the whole thing would be settled at once. Kus-
hia would not dare to go on. Prince Bismarck's policy
is unfathomable, and as to Austria, we dt> not know
what to think. One thing is certain : As matters
now stand, I the Russians (jannot boast of any material
advantages! It is true they have taken Nikopolis,
aJid we have been beaten |once or twice, but we nave
also done I something, and my information about
Plevna akid Yeni-Saghra is official and correct.
\Q. — If I England were to send a force to GaUIpolI.
d^ you thilik this would 1^ sufficient excu.so for Rus-
sia to occupy Constantinople 1
His Excellency — England will not send troops to
Galhoolil for tba't would | be useless. Tliey might as
w^ll De sent to Constantinople ; besides, such a move-
ment wOnld not be pemiitted by the other powers.
At present .our only chance Is to strive on. in the hoT>e
that one of those chances may occur which often de-
cide a war in favor of the weaker party. There is
one thing in our favor, and that is we are far better
artillerists than the Russians.
Q. — Have you information relative to these atro-'
cities tliat are so much talked of t
His Excellency — Mv dear Sir. yon know what war
is; you also know what a Cossack is. I know there
have been fearful deeds committed on both sides.
How caii it be helped 1 War is war. Bashi-Bazooks
and Cossacks are Bashl-Bazouks and Cossacks.
>Vhat can you expect t Of one thing you may be
sure, the war will not be over to-day. or to-morrow,
or months hence. It will bo a very long and a very
dreadful one.
Such were the general views of the Turkish Min-
i.ster. — a man in no way bigote<l. or apt to take a one-
sided view, for his Excellsncy Is a very bright speci-
men of the modem Turk, a refined gentleman, with
broad views of his own counti?-. knowing full well its
faults, and esteeminz its redeeming qualities. He
if^ no enthusiast, and even in this, the moment of
victory. I is little inclined to Iwast. Evidently he is
fearful for his country, but he is also hopeful. He
does not despair of foreign lnter>-ention. and he fully
estimates the vast superiority of the Russians. At
the same lime tie does not consider Turkey, at this
moment, in the perilous position she is supposed to
dwupy. '

DXAB Sir : We left the t^antonment at the mouth
of Toniiue River on the evening of July IJ*. and
reached the mouth of the pig Horn in three davs.
Then, entering the Big Hani, we steamed hard for
three days against a powerful current, and rciched
the new post m the forks of the Big and Little Horn
yesterday morning early. Manjj boats liad preceded
us. all, or nearly all, dischnrgingjiarts of their f reiirbl
on tho west bank, from which the hauling to the post
is comparatively easy. One bqat, which was built
specially for the navigation of this and similar streams,
had to land five miles below the post .ilK>ut one-tiiird
of her carao. The water isjin good stage ; so the di:-
Acuity is not wont of wkter. but the strong ctu--
rent. which in ths bend of Ithe river roust be
about eight miles an hour. We found at the post
the United States steam-hbat Qen. Sherman, which
has a good hull, a good engine, but too much and too
fine a cabin for tms boat." She will be kept in the
Big Horn as long»as the water lasts, and will be em-
ployed in carrying up to thej posts the freight dropped
on the river bank by the contract bouts. The post
has already a good'suppljj of ti'sential stores, an I
there is no doubt: th.it long before the season closes
all invoiced for its use will be on hand and stored.
■The day before we resetted thio po.n we met Gen.
Sheridan and party, who bad come across the
country from Fort Stambaligh. We hud a long con-
ference, and we agree thatl this new post is well lo-
cated, and that it can be supplied with reasonable
economy in the future. The new post will lie garri-
soned by six companies of the | Eleventh Infantry,
and four companies of the Second Cavalry, under
Vommand of Lieut. -Col. Boell. Eieventb InfHntrj-. an
officer of great energy and by profes.sion an engi-
net- r. He ser\-ed under me in the war as a Colonel
of an engineer regiment and afterward as a lirigade
commander. He has been on thb ground less than a
month, but has a steam saw-mill at wrrk and a lanre
mass of Cottonwood logs I rapidly being sawed up
into lumber for the new post. | He has about 200
ci\-il mechanics at work Snd aii hnildincs imder
progress, besides temporary shelter for his stores us
received, and he entertain^ no Ifear but that he ^vill
finish Ids post substantially bef j>re Winter. The lo-
carion of this post is in the ver^' heart of the old
.Sionx country. With this post and that at the moujh
of Tongue River occupier, by istrong. enterprising
garrisons, the .Sioux Indiuns can never regain ttiis
country, and they will be forced to remain at their
agencies or take i-efuge in t leiBritish possessions. At
this moment there are no Indians at ail here
or hereabout. ,1 have Seen or heard of
none. Gen. Sheridan saw none, nor any
tracks of any. Iso that the principal end aimed
at by the coiistriiciion oi the."** posts has already
been reached, and it is only to ralake this emi perma-
nent that we should jierse 'ere In their completion.
■The one at "Tongue River ciin lie snnplied by steam-
boat. The one at the moiith of tho Little Big Horn
cannot depend on this rii-er. ^le current is too
strong to be na\-igated by CTrdin«r>' bost-s with a fair
cargo. Gen. Terrj- and (JuSrierinaster-Oeneral Curd
are at this moment recoimoilring to select wtme
point near the mouth o{| the I Big Horn where.it
to establish a depot i at which all freieht
destined for this post can be landed and
hauled up to tho : post J We have on
board a companv of infantry to guard this deiiot.
and we are nearly agreed that the bo.»'t plan will lie
a point on the Yellowstone proj>er. three miles above
the mouth of Big Horn, whence the hauling will lie
about 30 miles by ox trains. These pan lie hired
here, and will do the work more surely and better
than the steam-boar.s. for these have i)een sometimes
two weeics in workinft up thelBig Horn, and have
left their loads strung tUong the jlianks at points hani
to reach by wagons. I am cou\-inced that this is the
wisest course." and thus we can mainlain a strong
military post in the very heart bf the .Sioux country,.
with only a haul of ^lOn^iles. which is insignificant as
compared with most of our posts soutli of tliis. Tiie
ctmntry west of this is a good country, and will rapid-
ly fill up with eniicrants. who will in the next 10.
years build up a eouimuiiity as litrong and as capable

War has received the following from the Com-
mittee of Public Safety a b PiiESburg, Penn..
thanking him for his Action during the recent
troubles, and requesting tha ; a permanent gar-
rison as large as the condition of the .A.rmy will
admit be stationed at the Allegheny Arsenal in
that citv : i
To the Hon. Georpe W: MeOraJry, Secretary of War,
Washington, V. C:
We, tho undersigned. In behalf of the Executive
Committee of Public Safety, of this city, desire
hereby to express our thanics for your prompt replies
to the eommunicAtiniis we have addressed lo you in
the discharee of the resjionsihlo duties imposed npon
us by our fellow-rilizens, and for your ready com-
pliance with our request in placing at our disposal
such arms and ammunition as seemed necessary to
enable our local, civil; and niilitary authorities to
maintain law and order in the emergency through
which we have just pa-^sed. We desire also to thank
you and the officers and menl of the United States
Army under your command for the prompt and
effective co-operation I you l^ove extended to the
Governor and the civill authoniies generally of our
Commonwealth, in their effortB to restore peace and
order throughOiit the entire Sl^te.
We wotald respectfully requeift that such portion of
the United .Stales forces now lying in and about tliis
city as can be spared for such duty shall be ordered
to remain in the ,\llegheny -Ahrsenal as a permanent
garrison. We hardly: think it necessary to remind
you of the importance of Pittsburg as* a strategic
point. We would, however, i^spectfully call your
attention to the fact that at this point the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad meets the waters of tho Ohio, which
flow unintermptedly to the Gulf. Not only our own
population, but thousands and hundreds of tliousands
of people between this city and New-Orleans
depend upon tho Pittsburg coal deposits for
their fuel and upon the rail and water
communications centring hire for many other
necessaries of life. In riewj of these facts, and
warned by the bitter experience of the last 10 days,
3Te most earnestly request ydu to leave as large a
guard of regulars at the Allegheny Arsenal as is
consistent with the demand of the service elsewhere.
Should the forces now in the serriee be, in your
opinion, and in that of the United States officers
now here and famihar with bur situation, too few
to allow the detailing 6f la sufficient number to con-
stitute a safe^ permanent gnSrd, we would respect-
fully urge you to plai|o bur petition on file, in order
that at the approaching sessiob of Congress the mat-
ter may bo urged noon their attention.

SESSION OF THE REFORM COUNCIL.
AN UNUSUALLY LARGE ATTENDANCE — A STIR-
KING TEMPERANCE ADDRESS BY " BLUE-
RIBBON" MURPHY — HIS EXPERIENCES
AXD THOSE OF ECCLES ROBINSON NAR-
RATED.
Fairpoint, N. Y., Aug. 4. — The Reform
Council, connected with the fourth annual
Chautauqua- National Assembly, opened its first
ses.sion at 9 o'clock this morning. Rev. J. H.
Vincent. D. D.. presiding, with an unusually
large attendance from all parts of the country.
Anthony Comstock, of New-York, addressed
the audience in relation to the National Society
for the .Suppression of Vice, giving its history'
and describing its operations. Francis Murphy,
the temperance lecturer, was introd-iced and
made a few remarks. Rev. J. P. Newman, of
Wa.shington, D. C, preached at 11 o'clock on
•• Peculiar Christian Reformatory Forces." The
attendance is increasing rapidly, the .steam-boats
and raiIroa<l trains being crowded with vi.sitors.
This afternoon at 2 o'clock the council had a
conference on the new temperance movement.
An account was given of the Murphy work and
its progress at Elmira by Eccles Robinson, of
Pitt-sburg. and Rev. Mr. 3Iead, of Homellsville,
made a report of the work in that city. Many
thousands had signed the pledge, and the
saloons had been reduced to one-third of
the usual number. Mr. Mead urged that the
work ought not to be confined to the Southern
Ne\v-Y'ork counties, but should extend over the
State and the country. At 3:30 o'clock F. Mur-
phy, of Pittsburg, 'delivered an address on
•• Gospel Temperance ; a Leaf from Real Life,"
4.000 persons being present. Mr. Murphy said
the greatest experience this side of heaven
was enjoyed when a soul was cleansed by the
blood of Chri.st. He g-avo a sketch of his young
friend Eccles Robinson, the last speaker, who
had spent a fortune of $70,00t) in dissipation,
Imt who was now thoroughly reformed, with a
happy wife and mother, and said real life fur-
nishe'd stranger stories than fiction. An ac-
count was given of the speaker's early life in
Ireland, of his poverty and arduoms toil for
bread, and the opinion was advanced that tho
prevailing evil of .\merica was that young men
were ashamed of honest labor, and that iillouess
and wealth culminated in tho following of
fashion, the wine cup. and love of drink. Mr.
Murphy thanked <.iod that Tie gave to
Ireland Father Mathcw, who came to
America and enrolled 500.000 of his
countrymen as the friends of total abstinence
and who checked dissipation on both conti-
nent.'. AUer spending a precious week with
his mother Jlr. Jlurphy crossed the sea after a
p.artiiig described with touching pathos. In
this country came dissipation. John Courtney,
a good Scotchman, at length drove the speaker
'out of New-York to keep him from the influ-
ence of drink. After serving in the .\rmy he
kept a hotel and sold liquor. His wife said :
" I had sooner beg for a living than sell
whisky:" but he did not listen to her. Ho
made money, but became a drinking man. .\t
last he lost his fortune and reached a depth of
misery of which he did not care to speak.
While in jaU at Portland, Me., cruiihed and
bleeding. Capt. S. Stiirtevant came to him with
words of kindness and hope. He said, •* God
will help you." The speaker owed his reforma-
tion to this man. who spoke to him of Christ
and his .salvation. In that jail Mr. Murphy rps©
from his knees with an assurance that his sins
had been fo- given and his soul saved. 3Ir.
Murphy closed his address with a powerful ap-
peal in behalf of the Christian temperance
work, having .spoken nearly two hours.
At ,5:30 o'clock Frank Benrd. of New-Y'ork.
gave a short talk about reform, and at 7 o'clock
Mrs. Emily Huntingdon Miller, of Chicago,
gave to mothers in council the first of
a series of papers on "Art at Home.'' In
the pavilion, at 8 o'clock, Mi.ss M. E.
Winslow, of Brooklyn, editor of Our Uni/in,
the organ of the Woman's National Christian
Association, spoke of Christian temperance
work. Prof. W. F. Sherwin. of Newark. N. J.; ■
C. B. Stoute, of New- York, and Anthony Com'
stock, of New-York, spoke of the worth
of the Young Men's Christian Association.
The receipts at Fairpoint to-day — the open-
ing day — were more than those of any day
last year except one. and six times the receipts
of the opening day last year. The .prospect is
that the attendance will "be greater than in any
previous year. A false nimor that a steamer
had sunk to-day with great lo.ss of life produced
great excitement on the lower part of the lake.
No accident of any kind has occurred.
BEN. DE BAB SEBIOUSLT ILL.
St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 4. — Ben. De Bar,
proprietor of De Bar's Opera-house in this city,
arrived home yesterday suffering from a para-
lytic stroke, which attacked him in New-York
about a week ago. His physician pronounced
the case very serious, if not hopeless, there be-
ing, besides paralysis of ' the hmbs and part of
the body, a softening of portions of the brain.
Sir. De 'Bar is the oldest theatrical . manager in
this country, and the oldest actor in the world
except " Bedford Buckstone," of London. He
has been on the stage 46 years, and his taking
off wUl be a source of great regret to his hosts
of friends and admirers throughout the country.
COLLISION OF STOCK TRAINS.
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 4. — ^About 7
o'clock this morning a heavily loaded stock
train, standing at Conneaut Station, Ohio, on
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Rail-
way, was run into by another stock train, caus-
ing a bad wreck. The loss is estimated at from
$8,000 to $10,000.

Boston, Mass. , Aug. 4. — Another ease of

he left a check upon the banking house of P. A.

HUNT TO BE FOLLOWED BY A " BIG TALK"
AT WASHINGTON.
SpeeiaX Diepatc\ to Ou yev-Tork 3%me».
Chicago, HI., Aug. 4. — ^Information of an
authentic nature has been received at military
head-quarters that it was Lame Deer's band of
Sioux Indians which recently attacked the sur-
veying party under Lieut. Lemly on Spearlish
Creek. The surveyors are engaged in running
a boundary between Nebraska and Wyoming
Territory. The supposition that the attacking
band were agency Indians proves to be un-
founded. There is a deep-seated conviction in
Army circles here that reports sent hither from
Montana about an influx of Ncz Perces In-
dians are ingeniously concocted lies, which
have been circulated for a purpose. It
is soberly doubted whether any of the Indians
of that tribe have really crossed the range in
Central Montana. The story that they were
coming over into that territory to hunt buffalo
is pronounced absurd by all who are familiar
with the region.
Gen. Crook, who is here en route ea.stward.
states that some of the well-conducted Indians
who served with the troops last Winter, includ-
ing Cheyennes, Arapahoe.?, and Sioux, are about
starting on a buffalo hunt toward the Big Horn
and Musselshell country under the command of
Spotted Tail, who can he trusted to keep them
within bounds. After the hunt is over a dozen
or so of the chiefs will go to Washington to
have a '* big talk" over the boundary of the new
Missouri Reservation. It is not yet known what
Chiefs ivill compose the dclggation.

from Lewiston, dated Aug. 1 , says : Yesterday
Indian Joe and his family, who have been with
the people at State Creek all through the Indian
troubles, and proved true and faithful to the
whites, returned from Kamiah, where they had
been sent to ascertain the movements of the
hostiles. His squaw says the Indians at
Kamiah told her they were going across
the mountains by the Lolo trail, with their
stock and families, and when they got them in
a secure place they would return and fight the
soldiers. She also states that before leaving
Kamiah they went to the friendly Indians'
camp, drove off all the young squaws, beat
them with clubs, and forced theiu along like
so many cattle; also came back and-
robbed them of everything they could
find and all their horses of any
value. ■ She further stated tbat the hostiles are
to be reinforced by Indians from the other side
of the mountains on their return. Her state-
mentJ- are considered trustworthy by those who
have known her.
This morning. Lieut. Wilmont, with 30 men,
started to cross Salmon River to ascertain if any
hostiles remain there. It has been reported
for several days that a few hail been .seen in
that direction, and his object is to hunt them
out, and destroy all supplies.
.1 ug, 2. — It is now believed by old acquaint-
ances of Joseph that he will place his stores and
"extra horses in safety and return lo Camas
Prairie by the Elk Cit'y or Pietto trails, which
are much' more easily traveled than the Lolo.
This trip can be made in about seven days by a
forced march. He has asserted his determina-
tion to bum the grain on Camas Prairie, and
then arrange his plans to go to.Willowa. and
the opinion is prevalent that he Aviil attempt it.

Spmal Dispatch to the Xew-Tork TlTne*.
Chicago, Aug. 4. — A special to the Chi-
cago Tribune from Keokuk, Iowa, says that a
Gate City reporter, just from the scene, brings
further particulars of the shocking murder of
Lewis Spencer and his four children near
Luray. in Clark County, Mo., night "oefore
last. It is thought the massacre was
committed just before daylight. The
murderers procured an axe from the wood-pile
and evidently -went first to the stable and
climbed up the ladder to the loft, where Mr.
Spencer and his son Willie, aged 10, slept, and
commenced their bloody .work upon
them, dealing heavy blows upon the
head of each. Jlr. Spencer had in
his possession at the time about $1,200,
which the assassins secured. They then pro-
ceeded to the house, crept in at the kitchen
window, and forced open a door into a bedroom
on the first floor, in which were sleeping the
daughter Jane, aged 1.8, and the son
Charles, aged 7. Jane seems to have been
struck while asleep, but the boy was
partiallv awakened, and was found lying across
the body of his sister. The other daughter,
Alice, aged 20, was sleeping up stairs alone,
and did not appear to have moved after the
fatal "blow was struck. Tho murders were
discovered by Spencer's brother-in-law.
Willis James. When found, the father
and both sons were still breathing, but were
unconscious and died in about two hours. All
five of the victims were killed with an
axe, receiving from one to three blows
each on the head. Their faces were
terribly mangled. The axe was found un-
der the back part of the house, beneath the
window through which the murderers had evi-
dently entered. Nothing in the house was dis-
turbed. The tracks leading from the house in-
dicated that there were two persons engaged in
the murder. At the Coroner's inquest the prin-
cipal witness was James Willis. Dtiring the
inquest a few drops of blood were dis-
covered on his clothes. He accounted
for them by saying he had had the nosebleed a
day or two previous. It was at once suspected
that James was one of the guilty persons. At
last accounts the Vigilantes had taken
charge of him and another jnan named
Brady, and gone off into the woods with
them. There is no positive evidence against
tiiem, but if guilt can be fixed on them there is
no doubt that they will be hanged. The funeral
of the victims took place to-day. The five bodies
■were buried in one grave.
FIRE AND LOSS OF DIFE.
StrawsPoint, N. H., Aug. 4. — ^Afire,whioh
for a time threatened the destruction of the
entire village of Summer residences at Straws
Point, broke out at 2 o'clock this afternoon in
the stable belonging to Dr. Tubbs, of Manches-
ter, and spread to his cottage, and also the ad-
joining one of B. A. Kimball, of Concord, N. H..
both of which were consumed. Several other
cottages were badly scorched. The loss is
$10,000, partially insured. Henry Groves, of
Concord, N. H., a visitor at one of the cottages,
while assisting in removing furniture from the
Kimball cottage was oveniowered by smoke
and burned to death. His charred remains were
recovered from the ruins.
MB. eOODE AND THE SPEAKERSHIP.
Norfolk, Va,, Aug. 4. — Hon. John
Ckiode, Representative in Congress fromVir-
gixda, pronounces as utterly untrue the state-
ment which has recently appeared in several
newspapers, that he had been writing letters to
members of Congress, asking them to vote for
him as Speaker. He has written to no member
on the si&ject except in reply to friends who
have reauested him to become a ctndidfcte.

SOBANTOK, Penn., Saturday, Aug. 4.
The results of my investigation into tho
condition of the miners and other workmen In
this region were only partly givep yestetrdav.
Enough was then told in regard to the unifortu-
nate circumstances of the mining populasrion to
convey an impression of the conviction in tht
Binds of these men that they are oppressed,
ground down, disregarded, or, if regarded at all,
that they are treated with less consideration
than a careful man would give to his horses and
cattle. One of the houses into which I entereiif
at noon was an example of the sort of dwellings
in which the large majority of the people live
who work in the mines and mills. It' Uad
two rooms, the larger being that in which, the
family lived, while the other was the slesping
roohi. The hut was a dingy one, near a break-
er, and its interior was scarcely more cAeerfuI
than it.s sun-burned and blackened xinteide.
The $oor was bare, and there were no other ar-
ticles of furniture than a table and three or four
chairs, all of which were broken, 'The windows
were hting with tattered paper curtains. The
place was not over-clean. At the table drawn
up at one side of the room, sat the miner and
his family, wife and two children, girls, vrith
faces as black as if they too had been at work
in the mines. The miner's face wi>fi
hidden beneath a mask of ooal-blacife,
out of which his eyes stared yjith
a wild look, giving a really iimocent
and pacific person an appearance of ferocity
which he did not have. The woman was neater
than her surroundings. All were eating pota-
toes, which, with soda crackers and wajtor, com-
posed their dinner. There w-as no bread on the
table. The man laid down his fork and knife,
made an ineffectual effort to hide his grimy
hands and arms, and then went on to talk. He
had worked very regularly — as ofsen as there
was work to do — ^in the Mount Pleasant shaft,
which has the reputation of making
more time than any other mine in the
neighborhood. He had seldom made
more than $18,s month, and thought that $lSi
would be nearer his average. His rent w^as $4,
but he had paid it irregularly. All his supplies
were drawn from the truck store of the com-
pany, which is a private corporation, selling its
coal at the breaker to the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western. He was obliged to get his
supplies at this shop because he never could get
cash for his work. Since tho strike no flour had.
been served out, so he could have no bread. Aa
with many other families I met, meat was a
luxury seldom enjoyed. Clothes were bou^t
scarcely oftener than to keep the family de-
cently covered. A child died last Winter, and
charitable people in one of the city' churches
had furnished decent burial for it, the mother
being tmable to get money or credit for the ex-
pense. This is the story of many families, and
although the men declare disconsolately that
death would be better than this battle for life
in which they are constantly worsted, death ia ■
too expensive, a funeral too costly a heritage for
the living, and so'they struggle on to keep body
and soul together as a matter of economy.
There are men among tho Welsh
miners here who have lived in Hyde
Park for many years, whose circumstances
have been good, but who are now sharing wi^
the meanest laborer in the hardships comimon
to all the population. One man, sober, f ru,gal,
industrious, in 21 years had been able to accu-
mulate a little property which was now slipping
from his bands, and he was $300 in debt.
Y'et he had practiced economy so severe ^
that no felon in a prison but would have felB
wronged if he were compelled to live on his
fare. A leading member of the miners' organ-
ization told me that he and his brother together
were just able to keep their house on their
combined earnings. The brother had engaged to
pay $15 a month board, but he had run behind
$90 in 18 months, although he never lost a day
by sickness, never spent a cent for grog, and waa
willing to do any sort of work. One cabin that
I visited was occupied by a woman (Welsh) who' \
said she had never known what bard rimes -were
until she came to Scranton. Herfeet were bare, her-
children were fed irregularly and on poof food,
her husband had been sicJt, and with nothing
ahead, nothing coming in, and six mouths to
fc-ed, they were for months on the verge of
star\-ation,living on charity. The miners are all
so poor that they cannot help each other, and
many of them are very proud even in their
rags. It was hard to get them to admit that
they were living on mush alone, when that was
the case, but neighbors would tell of pri\*ation!4
suffered. The attempts to hide abject poverty
were sometimes heroic. I was shown a mi^n
who had been known to take his diuuer-pail
into the shaft day after day, just as other men
did, when the form was an empty pretense, and
his pail did not contain so much even as a crust;
Even the mush the miners so largely subsist on ,
is now had in small quantities, but with a little^,
bread they marmge to appea*^ hunger with the 1
aid of garden stuff from patches which arO
cultivated about many of their hute, where ,
they raise com, tomatoes, beans, and a few po-.
tatoes. Mv guide was a Welshman, an en-
gineer in the mines, and a man of some educB-
tion. - He frequentiy was obliged to interpret
the conversation, which was carried on in.
Welsh by many of the women. One of tJies^
women, a widow, with three sons, saia
the oldest, who is 22 years of age,
made $'20 last month, and the younger
ones $r2 together. Most -of this hai
been held by the store of the Mount Pleasant
Mine for an old debt, and the family were out
of provisions and without a prospect of relief.
An Irish miner, with 10 persons looking to him
for support, said he had not known such want
as he felt at present since 186,3. Here, again,
theexpenseof funerals was complained of. In an
adjoining house lived a laborer with five chil-
dren. The family of seven had lived on his
earnings of less than $6 a week, as his daily
wages were 9(5 cents. A German laborer in "a
breaker said the largest amount he had made in
two yeafrs during any month was $1.5, and it
was usually $10 or $12. What astonished me
greatly was the uniform cheerfulness of these
people, even when they were recalling and re-
counting their most painful experiences. And
although none of them werr-«ttnguine of better
treatment, they were all convinced that some
time or another a sense of justice w#uld compel
the rtdlroad men to give them considerstiom
They were not lacking in shrewdnes.s. To the
a.ssertion that the miners aa a class had been
careless, improvident, they answered : " Has not
the corporation been improvident I Has
it not expended money extravagantiy
for machinery and lands that it could
not use!" 'This they feel they are snffer-
iug for, and they point out many a shaft
which is not paying out of its products even the
taxes on the property, I spent some time in
conversation with one of the Catholic priests of
this city, and he fully corroborated all the re-
ports of the destitution which had previoush^
reached me, and related others which had coma
tmder his personal notice. He was constant^
relieving families, some of whom had members
at work, but not earning enough to support
them. Of the company stores he spoke as a
great detriment to the working men, holding
them as they do in a sort of slavery which they
cannot escape. It was said that the employes
were not compelled to patronize them. Bnt
the laborers knew well enough that they
were exi>eeted to fcuv in them, and the small and
2
Infrequent payments of cash made it absolutely
necessary to obtain their supplies from the com-
pany. He bad counseled abstaining from vio-
lettcet and waa really favorable to a resumption
of work at old rates rather than idleness on the
part of the men, and particularly the youths,
"Who feel no sort of responsibility. In some
cases ho thought the carelessness of the women
had aKfTTRvated the misery of families. They
■were not all ecoTiomical, and when they ha<d op-
portnnity would sometimes spend more than they
ouffht. They could not do it now, of course.
Intemperance among some of the miners had
kept them poor, and it seemed that there was
never a time when they could not get drink.
Tlie feeling of the meiv was unanimously for
the adoption of a sliding scale of prices, to be
povemed by the market price of coal, by which
they would prosner \^'ith the companies, and
phare with them "Hie misfortune of a dull ttade.
The priest thought the suppression of theimob
of Wednesday a good thing, but considered
tlint the presence of so many troops pro-
longed the strike, as it was loolced
upon by the men as a constant
menace. Another clergyrnan, who had abun-
ditnt opportunity to learn about the condition of
the miners, ant! who had studied the subject
closely, said he believed that it would be safe to
viiy the families in the valley averaged six per-
B(»ns each, and thut they had maintained life on
an averaL'O of $7 per>anonth to each family for
ni::o m'^^nths past. It is not to be supposed for
ail instant that thi.^ condition of things has not
hf on known to Scranton people. It has been
wi'll known to them, and la.«*t "Winter a good
dvnl of assistance was extended to the
poor by various societies through a relief
ussnciation. But the miners do not wish
t»i liv(' on the charity of anybody. They pray
fnr work at living waees. and are willing to
iTorlv even seven d:iys in the week to earn them.
In a rontVrence with the officers of The company
one of tlie latter said to the miners : "If you
think the company is mrtking so much money,
perhaps you woul'l undertake to work the mines
for all al)ove the expenses T' To this the
i.;iners quickly replied : " Wo will under-
t:t.k(* to work the mines if you will

I A GOOD GAME OF CmCKET.
THE MEB10N8, OF PHILADELPHIA, ' DEFEAT
THE STATEN ISLAJTO CLtJB — GOOD PLAT
ON EACH ISIDE.
|A well-contested gatpe of cricket waa played
on Stoten Island, yesterday,, between the Merion
Club, of Philadelphia, and the Staten Island Clnb.
There was a strong westerly breeze blowing across
thp grotmd all day, which kept the players cool, but
interfered a little with the bowling. Dnring the first
inniiig of the Merlons. G. E. Moore, at short leg
pf^sitlon, caught a hot ball from Anderson ;
Brewster, at point position, catight Bralthwate
[finely, and G. Ashbiidge was nicely bowled
by .Tones. Bre^rstcr's bowling" was very effective
during this inning, his record showing 114 halls de-
livered, on which 2£) runs were made and five mald-
s and three wickets. The two Moores o^ned the
fiip inning for the Staten Islanders, and were soon
bowled out by Law and C-omfort. Harvey made a
goo d stand for 1 S runs, and Brewster did some good
blotting. Tho Philadelphiana did well in the field
ye.sterday. They had evidently improved
by the practice . afforded in their previous
gjJme with the Manhattans. Their position-s
were well takenjunder the direction of their Captain,
(icorge Ashbridge. and the bowling was effective.
Comfort carried ,6ff tho honors a< a bowler yesterday.
lie delivered 1-47 halls, on which there -«"ere 43 mna
made, and scored S maidens and 10 wickets for his
party. He also made one of the be.?t catches of the
day at short-leg po.sition. where he took a strong ball
^iijht from W'hithHm's bat. Baily hIro made a good
cat'-h as wicket-keeper, taking a hot ball off the bat
ifroin Ilfir-.ey. There waa nothing of note
I in the Meri'on's ^lecond inning but two verj*
clever catctie.s by "Whitliam at point position, and
one by Har\*ey at tlie .same position. The second
inning of the. Staten Islanders was the best of the
four. The two iI(H>res led off OS in the first inning,
and made six runs between them. Roberts made a
bad mistake, and was run out. AVhithara made one
leg hit forsix mns, and two hits for four runs. He
was bowleil out by Comfort after scoring 32 runs.
JSoon after this John Lee sent a ball straight into
the hands of Comfort, and without apjveaUng. left
his wickets and went from the field, thinking that lie
w;w canfitht out. George Ashbridge, however, ap-
pealed to thenmniro, who decided that the ball was
grounder, and that Ijco was not out. He was,
hrwever, bowled out again by Comfort, to be fol-
ived by Kvre. who also met his fate in tho same
The following is the score :

The people who go down to the lake-sido at

It: not altogtnhcr unconcerned in naval archittOture.
Titey do things in little, hat there Is no re-oson. they
think, why their small enterprises should not de-

pflstimo m-iy hiive nmgnififont visionary resailt.s.
S( me folk have great faith respecting those minia-

talce the s)»ort as it comes, and incline to the ininia-
t ure ya'-hl i ng ^ of Sat u rday afternoon as a
mist pleasTint relaxation. These are philo-

tlJeir sobi-r zeal in tho matter. (if
zeal can ever attain to the proper status of sobriety,
miniature ynchting nourishes in l'ro>X)ect Park on
Saturday aftenmons. Last evening w;is an excep-
tihiiftllybriiliant day on the lake, althouch there
■were no set races. Some crack models were out, and
altliough there were no regular competitions, there
wi're a few private contests. The cutter Cloud and
the sloop Zeph\Tr had. for instance, a brush which
resnlteti in f.avor of the latter, and the schooners
Adele and Jeamiot had also a race to windward, the

8AU0A ANNEXED TO^AMERTCA.
e Fiji Times of June 13 says that news bas
been received that the American flag has been
hcisted at Samoa and allegiance formally tendered to
ths United States. Some strange rumors are current
wi th respect to this movement, but we forbear, for
the present at least, from giving them publicity.
The Lnrline, the'arrival of which may be daily ex-
pected, will no doubt bring ample and authentic in-
teUigence.
The New-Zealand Re'rald says: "The American
flag has been hoisted at Samoa, and nnles<?the action
of the Cqn^il is repudiated by the authorities at
'AVashingion, the tslands of the Xavigator's group
will henceforward have to be accounted as m, the
possession of the .A.merican Government. A short
lime aso we gave the partlenlars connected with the
visit of several Samoan chiefs to Fiji, whitlier they
had gone to endeavor to persnada Gov. Sir .\r-
thur Gordon to take posse-ssfon of Samoa for Great
Britam. j Apparently, the Samoan chiefs had not
got any encouratrement, for, on their return home,
tlie American Consul, Mr. GrifBn, commenced
neeotiatipns to have the American flag hoisted.
All thei preliminaries were completed on the
night of the 23d of May. a number of documents
having been signed, and on the morning of the

failed to put lii appearance in substantiation of their

reslcDj his pretpnsionSij a certain domestic occurrence
of an interesting niature. which would prevent
Mrs. Andrewsl from ' accompanying him, having
occurred in his family only a week ago. At the
last moment. ;when the lovers of the " good old
times I" and their observances were almost in despair,
a cosy couple were induced to come to the front.
Their names are Barrack : they are natives of the
parisb, of the humbler class, and they are the parente
of a doten blooming children. It Is unnecessary
■to sav much respecting the history of the cnstom,
which, he It said en pciJtsant, is considered by a great
many persons even in iDuumow to be far more hon-
ored in the breach thkn the observance. Like the
courts of love in Franhe. it boasts of exalted patron-
ace a|)d antiquity anterior to the times of I^ers
Plowman and tChouber, both of Tvhom allude
to it. To ; iR^bert I^tzwnlters, who. in the

With pious motives, no douiit. ho ordained that "he

founded or not, Icertaiii it is that the cnstom existed
at a y^rv early' neriodj in the Priory of Little Dun-
mow, jOf delivering a flitch or a gammon of bacon to
any couple who claimed it, and could swejir, a year
and a] day after their marriage, that dnring that

Barrack laughed, the jury laughed, but the
President and^lr. Savtii maintained a dignified com-

there was no lexamiiiatton ; a few questions were
simply put by [Mr. Teg» as to the .state of relations
between Mr. and Mrs. Barrack, and then they were

THE LOST GEORGE S. WRIGST.
THE SWORN STATEJIENT OF THE SOLE SUE-
TIVOR OF THE ILL-FATED STEAMER—
PARTICDLAES OP THE MURDER OF THOSE
WHO ESCAPED THE PERILS OF THE SEA.
From the Victoria papers of July 18 is ob-
tained the following statement of the Indian. Billy
Coma, with regard to the murder of the few stir-
vivors of the wreck of the steamer George S. Wright,
elicited in the Police Gonrt on his examination be-
fore Judge Courtnay In the trial of Wi-hai-tun, an.
Indian, charged with having wilftjly murdered
Thomas Ainsley, Master of the American steamer
George S. Wright, on or about the 25th of Jantiary,
1873:
Billy Coma, being sworn, aaid that he was a coal-
passer on board the steamer G, 8. Wright ; he ship-
ped on -board two months and two weeks before she
ole^ up opposite Waukaneo ; when she blew up he
was in bed ; went on deck and there found four
soldiers, who woke up the Captain and mate ; they
lowered the boat and told the Captain to come on
board the boat, but he refused to go ; he said he
wonld not lea,ve the steamer, but would die there ;
the soldiers then took hold of him and put him In
the boat ; witness also wention board; almost im-
mediately afterword the stealer went down ; did not
know how many persons were on board; one of the
soldiers was a big, black-whiskered man, with a
soldier's coat and* brass buttons, h© had four gold
stripes on his arm, one on each shoulder, and
a small eagle on his cap : they were three hours
getting to land, and when ihey got there made a fife ;
the Cai>tain had nothing but his pantaloons and
undershirt on ; they gathered a lot of brush and
covered themselves up with this to cet warm ; the
Captain told tho witness to look after the fire and
not let it go out, for if he did they wonld all die of
cold ; about 4 o'clock in the morning they had a big
fire, and some Indians came in sight in a canoo ; does
not know how many were in the canoe : the Captain
hailed them and told them ho would rive $500 to
take them down to Bella Bella; tho Indians told
them to stay there and they would go and get
some blankets ; the witness was interpreter ;
the Captain, &c., stayed there all that d!ay till
11 at night ; the Cantain laid down close to
the fire, the four soldiers on the other side of the
tire, the mate by the side of tho Captain, and witness
was sitting down by the fire ; they were all a-sleep
with the exception of himself -. about 11 o'clock four
Indians came in a small canoe : witness overheard
them talking : the old man, Hnats-se-ce-lar, pro-
posed to shoot him (witness ;] he called out and told
them not to shoot him, for if they did not they
would get lots of blankets ; he then woke up the
Captain and told him the Indians had come to do
some harm ; as the Captain was getting ap "We-hai-
tun fired two shots at him -, the first shot hit him in
The stomach, the other in the breast ; the Captain
foil, crawled on his hands and feet a little distance,
and th^n dropped ; one of the Indians not pr>.'5ent
in court, shot tho mate while he was Ijing down :
tho Indians had flint-lock muskets ■ the old
man Huats-se-ce-lar lo.ided the jruns ; the soldiers
were shot as soon as they got tip by two Indians not
in court : dnring the time this was going on witness
had left the fire and gone into the bush : after tho
Indians had killed them all. Huats-se-celar and two
other Indians came up to the fire, and one of the In-
dians took up the captain's watch. Huatu-se-ce-lar
picked lip the box. but they all claimed it. and a
quarrel arose which re-sulted in the shooting of one of
the Indians : the others took the box and went to
ihe canoe, then came back and pat the dead men into
the canoe, tied heavj' stones to their necks and sunk
them in the water ; the witness for four days had
nothinc to eat, he stayed by the fire all this time ;
the Indians wanted to take him. but he said no. that
he wonld walk to Bella Bella : he started, and was
walking along the shore looking for something to eat.
when the Indians came up and told him that
if he did not come they would shoot him : so he went
with them to Waukanee ; he stayed there a lone
time; the Indians jrave him a klootchman not to say
anything about what had happened to the white
people : the first white man he told was Tom St-if-
ford. who was one of the "onvict efiards : he had not
told anyone hefore. becaiuse the Waukanees told him
that if he did they would go to his country and Idll
him and take all belonging to him : he did not know
where the clothes were or the Captain's watch : he
>ieneved the mate's pipe was in the possession of
another tribe now; he has been livins: over tho
sound since 1 ^73 : npver told any one over there ;
b«' said he had never told any one before, because he
was afniid. and would not have told now only Marj*
at .-M'^rt Bay had told on him ; the boat the Captain
landed from was a white boat ; the Indians buraed
it.
Thf^ f*n,<!e was then adjourned for one week for the
production of further evidence.
THE GALILEAX FISffERMEX,
PECULIARITIES OF A LARGE SECRET SOCIETY
OF COLORED PEOPLE JN BALTIMORE.
From thf Baltimore Bulletin, Aug. 3.
This, rooming a colored woman named Eliza
Dickson applied to Justice Kreis, of the Southern
Station, for a warrant for the arrest of another col-
ored wom-in named Ann Manothy. on the charge of
a.'i.'iault. Justice Kreis asked when the assault was
committed, when the woman replied that it hap-
pened over two weeks ago. The Justice then stated
that he could not Issae a warrant, for the reason that
it looked very much as If she fElizn] was swearing
ont the warrant throuch motives of spite. The
woman tl-.en sl.-ited that she wanted to arrest the
woman at tho lime, but "the society" would not
;iliow Jier.
On beins questioned as to the nature of the "so-
cietv," ihe foUowiug facts were elicited : Both parties
in the case are members of a colored organizHtion
known as the Grand TJnited Order of Galilean
Fishermen ; they behma to Mount Zion Lodge. Xo. 3.
which meets at "iso. 43 South Libert y^ street. One of
the princip.al mles of tho society requires all mem-
bers to renounce their right to ripply for protection
or redress against each othet to the civil law, and to
brine all their grievances to their particular lodges
for settlement by a coutt: of inquiry, under penalty of
expulsion. The head of the organization is said to
be a colored man named Thomas I. Hall.
The two women in question, at the lime of their
quarrel, broueht the matter before their lodge, which,
after inquiring into tno case, declined to do anythinc
in the matter. This uid not satisfy Eliza, who made
application for a warrant ns st.-ited. Justice Kreis,
on hearing the story of Eliza, informed her that ns
she had not made complaint against her alleged as-
sailant at the time of the a.ssault. but had preferred
to appeal to the society, she must abide by its deci-
sion, as the law could not now be appealed to. owing
tfi the time that had elapsed between the alleged as-
sault and the ct>mplaint.
The woman departed, greatly disappointed at her
failure to obtain revenge on her assailant. It is im-
derstood that the society is composed of 17 loi'i.'es.
numbering about 3.000 members. The lodces meet
twice a month. There is a grand lodee. which meets
once a year, of which the man Ha'.l above referred to
is the "Supreme Judge." The society is hene3cial
in its nature, each member being allowed a certain
sum during sickness, or when death occurs in a fami-
ly, and is very popular among ihe colored residiints,
particularly in South Baltimore.
A TEX-CEXT KXIFE.
THE a:CXOTANCE IT CAUSED AN IXSURAXCE
MAN nr MICHIGAN-.
FroTti the Adricin (IZlch.) Tiinca, Au-j. 2.
A number of oflScer.s and lawyers from this
city were over at Morenci yesterday attending the
examination of Knney, accused of attempting to
bum his own saloon. After the trial was over, the
Adrian gentleman and a crowd of Morenci people
were assembled on the Exchange Hotel steps, when
" Banty " Smalley, a well known character therei
told in a loud voice his troubles to the lawyers. At
the time of the attempted Incendiarism a knife w«s
found in the saloon, upon the blade of which was a
nick corresponding to a mark in the shavings. An
Adrian insurance man pocketed tho knife in evi-
dence against Knney. The knife, it seems, was tho
property of tho aforesaid "Banty," who tinkers
pumps and does other carpenter work. He claims
that in consequence of being deprived of that knife,
(which was worth about 10 cents, ) he
had lost a number of good jobs, and asked
advice as to bow he should proceed to pet
his property. One lawyer snggested that he
make a demand upon the insurance man for the
kn'ife. The inlured man did so, in company with a
witness, but of course got no satisfaction about tha
matter. He returned to the Adrian crowd, and one
lawj-er humorously succested that he reple\Tn the
knife. " But I can't find it." said " Banty." " Make
out a complaint and take him with a civil warrant."
said another lawyer, without dreaming his suggestion
would be acted upon. Finally the Adrian profes-
sionals and the insurance man returned home. Late
last evening Officer Rowley arrived with-a warrant
for the insurance man. and it was not without con-
siderable special pleating that the officer consented
to allow his prisoner to remain here until this morn-
ing. Th© joke is really a cruel outrage upon the in-
surance man. but the boys are lauching over it con-
siderably this morning, since the officer hnd his pris-
oner have departed for the unpar^leled town on the
Bean. The Morenciana doubtless feel avehged for
the arrest of the three young men who were brought
over here at midnight, to answer, before Jusrice
Gregory, a complaint for obstmcting the course of
justice. ^^^^^

INCDEXTS OF RECEirr RIOTS
AMONG THE STRIKERS,
A detective's STORIES TO A CREDULOUS
PHILADELPHIA REPORTER.
Fr&m the Philadelphia Press, Aug. 3.
When Gov. Hartfnmt was about starting to
open the blockade on the Pennsylvania Railroad, he
said to Mayor Stokley : " I want two of yonr deteo-
tives-^eool, keen hands, wbo can be depended on in
case of an emergency." And Detectives W. S. Row-
land and Kenry Weyl were accordingly detailed, and
ordered to report to the Governor for duty. They
had a hard job to see the Governor. "VThen they
approached his head-quarters two worse-looking
Mollie Magnires couldn't have been found In the coal
regions. But they managed to obtain an audience
at last, and this is the story of their exploits as told
bv Detective Rowland yesterday : " Well, yon know
all about us leaving here, and how we went
bouncing along towards the AUegbanies. The
greatest trouble w© had was to get ont and into
the Governor's car, because the guards looked at us
with the idea that we were hard cases, and had no
business there. We got that fixed, however, by get-
ting a pass from the Governor himself. At Altoona
things began to look lively. There were not many
strikers visible, but the women there were awfully
vindictive, and were jeering the troops and sayinj|r :
' You'll never get through the tunnel alive ; the boys
wUl blow It up on you.' Weyl and I went off the
car, and got out among the crowd. Nobody sus-
pected us, and we fraternized freely with the
strikers evervwhere, and easily obtained their confi-
dence by saymj; that we were ' engineers from Bald-
win's Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, and had
struck there. We told them that the Plilladelphia peo-
ple hod no backbone, and were afraid to strike for
their rights, and that we had come West to go in
with those who dared. They had their head-quarters
in a gin-milL and tliere was no laek of leaders and
no want of disposition to do mischief if the opportu-
nity were favorable. They were well organized for
this thing, and engineers 'brakeraen. and trackmen
all understood each other. We heard from one of
the men at Altoona of a scheme which might have
proved suceessfiri and worked great destruction had
it not been happily thwarted. It was proposed by
the strikers to run an engine up the mountain, and
as soon as it was known that the train with the
troops wa-s cominc to let her go slashing down. You
can imagine what would have been the result if
this had been done. But it wasnt.
"The Governor pave orders afterthis that the train
be run by the block system. That is. . it don't move
until the line for four miles ahead is known to be
clear of obstructions. We sent two detachments on
foot through the tunnel ahead of the train, and
every precution was taken to prevent accidents. We
got tlmmgh all right. Pittsburg was lively — ^very
lively. We soon found ourselves right among the
strikers, and in 20 minutes we were all right. I had
a chat with one man which explains a point now in-

many more of the strikers, when this thing besran,
made up their minds to stop the running of trains on
the Pennsylvania Railroad until the Govemmeni
had to take charj^e of the line. There was, he said,
'a clause in the charter of the comjiany which gave
the Government the right, after a certain time,
to tak<» possession of the'road if its owners failed to

We got off there, and weren't among the strikers 15

THE ADAMS EXPRESS TRAX'SFER.
WHAT THE SUPERIKTEKDEXT OP THE BALTI-
MORE OFFICE HAS TO SAY — THE XEW
BALTIMORE A^^) OHIO EXPRESS.
From the Baltimore Gazelle, Aug. 3.
Yesterday a reporter of the Gazette called at
the office of Adams Express Company to obtain some
information regarding the present . condition of
affairs and how the mercantile community are af-
fected by the recent withdrawal of the business of
Ailams Express Company from the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. The Superintendent said that Adams
Express Company can reach Frederick, Martinsbug.
Cumberland, all points on the Cumberland and Penn-
sylvania Railroa'l, ^^*heeling and Parkersburg, but
cannot reach intermediate points. It can reach all
points v/est of the Ohio, and through business
has in no way I een affected by 7\^
chance. The company had given the Baltimora
and Ohio its throuch business, not on ac-
count of any special advantaire to be iraiued bv so do-
ing, hut just befaxise it was running that roatf. Theii
is no feeling between the railroad and express coni
pany, and the Superintendent said he felt regret al
part'ing with old friends. All the offices of .\dam;
E.Tpress Company, he said, t^^mld be closed on tJij
Valley Railroad this side uf Scranton. and all on tliJ
Metropolitan Road. All intermediate on the Bal'.i
more and Ohio Railroad, between Baltimore and
points above name<.l. and all on the Parkersbui
Branch, except Parkersburg. will also be closet
While the closing of these offices shuts off receipts'
from those place's, it will be of financial advantage
to the Express Company, as the disbursements for
sen-ing them have always been larger than the re-
ceipts. The only ineonve'iiience that would result to
the public, would arise from the Baltimore and Oiiio
Railroad Company not doing the money express and
the C. O. D. business. He did not know whether
they would transact this business or not. The Super-
intendent said that he would do all in his power to as-
sist the Railroad Company to make its experiment a
success.
The Superintendent of the new Baltimore apd
Ohio Expre.ss, which the coijpany has established
along its lines, said to a rfeiwrter of the Gazette yes-
terday that the company was now only operating the
express as far as the Ohio River and Pjttsbm^. be-
cause the contracts of Adkms Express Company-
over its lines wonld not terminate until the 15th
inst. By that time the company hoped to have Its
express organized and equipped for points beyond
the Ohio. They proposed to have offices at Chicago.
St. Louis, Louisvule, Cincinnati, and all intermediate
points. They were not vet organized for doing the
usual express money an^l C. 0. D. business, but will
do so as soon as safes are procui-ed and messengers
appointed. The railroad company was determuied
that the public should suffer no inconvenience by the
recent change.
A OURIO&ITY OF THE DAT.
The St. Louis Rtpubliran attempts to "im-
prove the occasion " by talking in tbi'5 peculiar way :
"Suppo?e tne strikehad taken place two years ago.
under Grant, or that when it took place two weeks
ago the Government had been involved in the Grant
policy of maintaining offensive carpet-b^ Govern-
ments in two or tiiree Southern States, what would
we have seen? This: Either tho troops retained at
the South to protect the carpet-ifaccers from the
wrath of the people, and Maryland, West Virginia,
and Pennsylvania left to the unresisted strikers, or
the troops transferred to those States, leaving South
Carolina and Louisiana to au unopposed revolutiou.
It might have been even worse tnan thi.s ; the op-
pressed and harassed whites of these two States
might have recognized the strike spreading so rapidly
throughont the Xorth as their ooportunity. mpuio
common cause with the strikers, and risen in force to
assert their rights against Federal oppression- Had
they done this the strikers, eu'^onnured and stimu-
lated by the diversion in their favor, would have pro-
ceeded to more violent measures and excesses, the
feeble Federal forces would have been overwhelmed
by the task allotted to them, and a national call for
volunteers to suppress the two rebellions might have
been unavoidable. Fortunately, this peril was
averted by the withdrawal of the trooTis from Louisi-
ana and South Carolina four months ago. so that
when the strike was made the Government, with no
other task on its hands, was free.to employ its forces
against the Northern enemies. If Mr. Hayes had
actually foreseen the strike four months aeo he
could not have more intellicently and efficiently pre-
Sared for it than by recalling the troops from ^ew-
rleans and Columbia."
REFUSE TO WORK WITH MILITIAMEX.
The Baltimore G'o2€ffe of Friday says : "On
Friday. July 20, several of the employes at the shoe
factory of C- Heiser, No. 253 West Baltimore-street,
being members of the Sixth Regiments responded
with others to the military call. After tho regiment
was relieved from dutv they returned to their work
and were ill received *by some of their fellow-work-
men, who went to Mr. Heiser and requested their
dischaMje on tho ground that they had been engaged
in puttutg down their fellow-workmen at the point of
the bayonet. Mr. Heiser refused, saying that the
men were members of the State Militia, and had sim-
plv done their duty in responding to the cnlL Four
of' the wortanen then left his employ. Since the ex-
citement has quieted down the men who left the fac-
tory are desirous of retumine:. and have addressed a
note to Mr. Heiser to that effect. He has, however,
up to this time declined to take them back into his
employ." ^

The San Francisco Bulletin ot July 27 says ;
"An infernal machine, nrepored by the hands of
some incendiary, was formd this morning underneath
a Chinese wash-house, Ko. 47 Minna-street, between
First and Second, and is now in the possession of the

by the name 'BxceUior." which had been filled with
gunpowder. The mass of ' Excelsior ' and powder

The Welland"7W?M(Me relates the following ac-
jbunt of a perilnns feat on the Niagara River above
the Horseshoe Fall : " On Thursday of last week the
tug Minerva, which is engaged in towing mud scows
from the Welland Canal to the Niagara River, hod
proceeded well out into the river just above the
falls, with her usual tow of three loaded scows, when
the lines holding the last of the three parted, aud
the scow reeled around- and made for the rapids.
'Jim' Bampton was at the wheel, and with great
presence of mind he headed his tne for the rapids
and made a circuit around tho scow, which was now
dangerously near the rocks. In the meantime the
men boarded the two remaining ecows and dtuneed
them, rendering them easier to handle. When theV
approachednearenoughtothemnawsy. aman jtinijpea

A PERSECUTED FARMER. ' '
The Pulaski (Oswego County) Democrat re-
lates this : "David Trumbull has been very unfortu-
nate, having sustained a heavy loss in the death of
several cows and horses under circumstances Biogo-
lor and stispidous. Several years since he losi
through an incendiary a bam, 1 1 cows, carris^es,
&c.. to the value of some $2,000. The mysterioiu
loss of stock began something over a year since.
I>urlng the season of 1876 four cows, one 3-ye>ar bU
buU, and two valtiable horses died at different tinxee.
This season five cows and one horse, have died, and
in every case very suddenly and In much the same
way as did those of last year. It so happens that '
the best animals are always artacked. Examinations
reveal nothing peculiar, and the affair has natll
lately been shrouded in mystery. Mr. Trombnll's
neighbors have for some time entertained su^i.

down in a hay-fie!d; and to to^d the hay about
until I am. weary : but I can Iiave none of these
grlprious thini:-;. f.>r it is the height of the Lon-
don season, and mother will not let me leave-

^until I am in such a whirl ot excitement that it
-is quite by chance that I say tiic right thing to
the right person, and do not do something to
make myself riiT-'-iiilous .ind to vex my sisters.
Mother thiui;s that! it is hi!^li time one of us
was married ;. and as I am tha second, and am
21, all her euer^es seem io be expended on me

fully just now.
June is so hot in London, and I do lona: for
the country ; and yet I am so strong and well
that my loujjing does nut tuake me look pale,
and late hours do not even take tho lustre from
the roses iu m/ cheeks, or I might appeal Xo
motlier s heart, and then she would let me go to
the counirj- to Irt^hcn up my beauty.
I am not a bit beautiful, though : only I am
young, and all the Heseltines have good mouths
ajid pretty Ji^arus,, so I come in for those two
attributes just in the same way as I get my
name of Lois Hcselline.

and of pleasant things instead of dressing for

In the midst of my meditation Helen comes
Into my room, and says father is waiting for ma
before he tells us all a piece of news.
I quickly change my dress while Nellie gets
out my ribbons and frills, and before long we
are all eagerly listening to father's story.
He tantalizes us by making us guess his news,
and after refusing to do so we all make the
most lamentable failures in that line, until 1

Then father says : ^
'* Lois' guess is the nearest, for Maggie is go-
ing to be married this clay fortnight, and she
wants Lois to go dowu at once to help her make
preparations and to be her bridesmaid."'
*• And how did you hear it, father V Barbara
asks, as she absolutely looks interested about'
Mag^e } for we. are all very fond of oar only
cousin.
*' Well, tho young man came to see me at tho
office to get my consent, as I am her guardian ;
but as your aunt and Maggie had already settled
ererything, there was nothing left for me to do
except to give them my blessing, which I did
most heartily."
Sir. Strafford is a gentlemanly young fellow,
and has been curate at Ck>olmory for a year ; he
has just been presented with a living, and
nothing will content him but to marrv Maggie
offhand, so that they may take a holiday and
wedding tour in one, before they settle to his
parochial work dowu at Westbury.
" It is very annoying that ilaggie's wedding
ts to take plEice just now," mother says ; ana
Iheu continnes : *' Why could she not have
aaked Barbara or Helen to be her bridesmaid in-
stead of Lois i But they always were stich
friends, I suppose I must let her go ;" and then
fatiier decides the question at once, and adds :
** Of cotirse Lois must go. and after the wed-
ding she must stay with Aunt 3Iary until Mag-
gie returns from her hooeymuon expedition."
Already I am wildly happy at the idea of leav-
ing London, and happier still when I think that
I shall be out of all the gayeties that
■re set down in the engagement-book, and
which stretch out until the end of bairn-
ing July. How I commiserate my sis-
tecn when I think of what they will

I am quite content to wait until the others .

alone to enjoy myself in my own way, and keep
ptbeo' company, while she goes about finding

I have no reason to gmmble just now, though,

CHAPTER
n.
tho wind :
"Words are easy Uke '
Faithful friends are hard to find.'
:* — Shakespeare.
The wedding is over, ajnd I have just sent
home an elaborate account] of it. Auntie has
gone up to her room to shed \mlimitedi tears,
tor she thinks it the propet* thing to do ; audi
feel rather dull and lonelv now that the excite-
ment is over and Slaggie hais gone.
The weddinsr was very /simple, but we made
everything look as prettjf 3 possible, and trans-
formed the house into aVerfect bower of roses.
'I[he church was crowded, and^ Maggie was so;
contented and happy that she looked really
pretty. I was tho only bridesmaid, aad had to
do a good deal of signiiig, so that I felt quite a
person of iraportaoce. Tfhen there was tho
breakfast; then 3Iaggio went a^\:ay; tlien all
auntie's friends went to thejir respective Ifomes.
and auntie and 1 are left alone to enjoy each:
other's company. The best man, a youujg sur-
geon named Philip Graham, is staying at the
rectory, and I think he njiight stroll over to
know how we are after tho fatigues of the
day. A\"hat I have setj-n of him I like
very mtich, for he is tUll and darfc, and
appears to be of a serious j turn of mindi; but
he is not really serious, for he ha.s' an im-
mense fund of humor, and generally amuses uie
to such a degree that I laugh to an immoderate
extent, and am always in dread of beiing re-
proved by auntie ; but she seems to enjoy his
conversation, and never checks my mirth as
mother would. We saw a good deal of him be-
fore the wedding, as heustdtoeome over and
spend the day here with ] Mr. Straftord, and
naturally we used to go about a good d-eal to-
gether, so as not to interrupt the lovers. I
wonder if we shall ever see ihim now his I'riend
is gone, and how long he will remain at tlie rec-
tory. With all my self-lojve I can see tiiat he
does not care a bit about rue. and that tTaere is
no danger of his making love; so if he does
not contemplate leaving daolmory at once Ii
trust we shall have some pleasant walks and|
talks together. Next moraing auntie has re-j
covered her usual spirits, and is alrt-ady Iroking
out for letters from lUaggie. Before we hjwe flu-
ished breakfast Mr. Graham comes in in just
the same easy way as if !Mr. Stralford wiis fol-
lowing him.
•'Good morning. Mrs. Lisle; how are you!
after your fa^i^nies of yesteirdiiy V he says ; and'
then they begin to discus^ tho wedding, and
talk it all over, which to my mind is ver\' often
he best part of enter1:aiiim^ius.
I look out of the window ^iilthink how pleas-
ant it must be under the shade of the iiKlers
down by the river' bank, and I fervently wish,
that Maggie was here, aiid that we mi,;ht goj
out and .spend our morning there, as wo did
every day last week. ]
X\idenily Philip Graham thinks tho samc^
thing, for turning from auutie to me. he VL>'ks> if|
it would not be pileusantcr out of
doors this lovely morning. uad it' I
will stroll down to the river with hini.]
I look toward auntie and dujtifully
ask her if she will accjiupuny ns ; Init she div
clines, and says she will spcn<l the time we are
oufin packiujj tip Maggie's pn»sents. I feel I
ought to offer to help her ; but tho sun is shin-|
ing so duzzlin^'ly. and there is su"h a freshj
breeze down by the river, that my good resolu-i
tion melts away, au'l in another minute tiiy hat
is on. and Phiiip Graham and I are saunt'jrinj?
through the de^vy meadows; and I am onioying
pleasant Coolmory even afs much as 1 antici-
pated. I
We wan«iorontliroutrh a good many ll:;lils. antl
G:;ally soitle tlown to v\:^t in quiti- a nuw spot.
It is ver\' lovely, und the .^cent of the cloyer in-
toxicates me to' such a degree thiit 1 thr^iw my-
self down in it. and take a long snilV btt.tre I
lo»jk up to see what my coiup.iuion is doing. He
re'.r^.nls me in ((uitc a sj[>i.'riur way. and t can-
not help laughing, as it stri^es'm'' he loolcjs very
like Laudseer's dog Dignity ; while I feift Uko
Iin)mdeni*p. with my rough hair and my luit
very much at one si<[e.
After my frolic I smooth my hair, put my,
hat straight, open my parasol, and then afsk Mr,j
Graham for a remark. He answers my slowly,]
as he says : , ^ j j
"I was thinking what a child you are. an' 1
wondering whether you had any depth of feel-
ing or force uf character." ■ I J
^tta^uoment I am serious, for his words chilli
me somewhat; and then I tell him that I ant
having a suuinier's holiday, and am just a chil<lj
ai^gin tor a month, during which time I want,
tof leave all my witrries at home. Tltrru lit^
lauahs in his turn at me. and inquires my
troiibles ; andJ:>el*ore 1 know what I am say in lj
1 tell him all about mothi^r and thti
girls, and when our walk is over ll feelj
as! if I had known Philip Graha;n all mvj
life. Tho rest of tho day auntie and I]
devote to paying visits, and in the evening we
answer Maggie's letters. \
Air our days pass pretty much in the samO
way. Every morning Philip Graham anJj I takt|
a walk — sometimes down to tlie riv.-r. And ucj
casionally to the little tovrn. two miles !off. td
fetch the* letters that arrive by the afternoons
post. Aunt Mary is always busy in the mom|
ing. and never comes with ud. .She is ^uch o
me of
dear, sweet woman, and always reminds
-father. I have been with her a great deal for
the last two days, for it has been raining inces
santly, and I have not been able to leave thi
house eveu for a turn in the garrlen. Wet days
in the country are more unbearable than iin Lon
don : for I feel as if they deprive nie of sO juan\
modicums of fresh air that leisilly belong jto nn-j
nothing of 5lr. rirahaiui and t
'\Vo have .seen
miss him very
much, a great deal more
than \
thought possible ; perhaps it is because _.
have neither Barbara nor Helen to talk to aboui
little things that do not interest auntie. ■ At thti
end of the second rainy day there is a little exi
^iteraent iu the house, because we receive an
in\-itation for a divnce at the rector^- nextj weekl
Auntie and I find plenty to say about what W(i
Shall wear and who will be the're. and I go t^
Tj>ed in a pleasant frame of mind, but with an
intense desire for the foUo\vintr day to be finej
so that I may go for a walk with Mr. Grahamj
It is just as flue as I could possibly v.i>h.]and at
the usual hour Philip Gmham Saunters in; anq
withtnit waiting to be asked I put on my hatj
and once more we are out in the clear, fresh airj
Everything appears to have benefited l»y lht|
rain ; the flowers and grass look so re^reshei-
that I exclaim. ''The world seems as ifiit wai
Just made, and I am delighted to be out again.'
I ■- Did you find it dull the last two days Tj
Mr. Graham asks me: and 1 <'Oufess that] I did;
and t^at I wished he had come to see us. !
"I ilid not think you would have liked it.
Miss Heseltiue ; because I understood you to
say you did not wish to be bothered during your
visit to your aunt."
I look up to see if he is laughing at mc. but
he is perfectly serious ; so I tell him that ho
does not bother me, and ask him if wa havq
another wet day to call at auntie's, so as td
break the monotony and interrupt otir jtete-iW
t^tes. This he promises, but ad<ts that he ifj
lleaving Coolmory nest week, and is going tO
India as doctor on board one of the mail-bo.ats. I
: *' ^Vhy did you not tell me before. MrJ
Graham ?" I ask ; and I feel as if he hud
wronged me hj not telling me sooner. j
' *' I have only just got the appointment, and
only knew it myself am horn* a^o ; and I
hastened over here to tell you, becaiis^. Miss
Heseltine, I look upon you as' one of my dearest
friends." ' 1
O, how his words delight me ! At last I havej
met a=nian who is honest enough to tellja girl
he looks upon her as a friend, imd who does
not mask his friendship behind a llimsy veil of
flirtation. |
" I am so glad you look upon me as a friend,.
Mr. Graham._ Now I can tell you that you
have made my visit to auntie much more en-
joyable by your friendship ; so let us shake
hands on it and vow etemall fidelity."
I put my hand out to I him, and raised my
voice to a theatrical pitch, then looked up at
him with my eyes full of laughter ; but his are
looking at me so tenderly that I drop mine to
the ground, and cannot raise them again even
when he says, in his usual voice :
** Thank you, dear little Lois. I think
you are a woman who will prove as
good as your word on all occasions ;
and I think you are one whosejfriendship is true
enough to last through life."
He speaks so st«mly now, that I am qtiite re-
lieved when he continues, in a lighter tone,
'• Since we are to be real friends, Lois, you
must call me Philip."
*'7eB| Philip," I answer, and then add
^MtUji " Afid we ihaU he alwunffrieads. what-
iCgt ft^-pirh ^imeg, Sm^aBr^jogtist 5, JL^Tt.-^-Cngle S^^l
ev jr haiipens, Philip ; even if we never meet
agiin." j
■Jomenow I have a presentiment that after to-
da ^' we \ji'on't see much of each other ; so I want
to g:o down to- the river and spend one more
pleasant] morning.
fVe lazily enjoy ourselves, discuss our favorite
bo jks, ci)mpare our ideas upon music, and I can
scarcely iVelieve it is as late as it is when I see
auntie Approaching us, with the tidings that
luncheoil has been ready for more than an hotir,
an I thatjshe Iuih come to fetch us in.
!twi!w|snch a glorious July day when Philip
an I'll became Philip and Lois to each other,
th; It so long as I live it will stand out in bold re-
lie I from all others.
\ Cever cajn I forget the golden glow of that
Summer time.
CHAPTER in.
"Oh.jfor the davs that are past retrieviogl
Oh, forth© golden days!"
' Ye have four days of showery weather. Jlr.
Grahamj auntie, and I have been able to go out
for a drive three afternoons, but the fourth is
tnv wet; so we spend the afternoon in watching
the rain, at least Philip and I do, while auntie
wqrks.
Aunt Mary seems to have taken an odd idea
into her Jiead .since that morning she fetclied us
in to limeheon. I verily believe she thinks
Pk ijlip i^ making love to me, or that 1 am falling
in love ^vith him ; for she never leaves us a mo-
nu lit alone, and interrupts all our conversations.
If t|ns ansurd notion has really taken posses-
sion of her mind, all our free intercourse is at
an end ; jfor she would never encourage auy-
thi rig of kUis sort without directions from head-
([Uijrtersj or, in otlier words, mother's consent.
1 t laiink if she knew that notliing was furtKer
frt m our minds, and that we were only friends,
sho]mlgl: t relax her vigilance ; but I do not care
to ^peaktoiher on the .subject, and feel I would
rather n^t enjoy any more rambles with Philip
thun tell any one of our compact of friendship.
It ils ven,- hard, for he will leave Coolmory to-
m< rrojw i so that unless auntie ceases her vigi-
lai t watch at the party which takes place to-
:^t,, we shall not have any time together.
At going away Philip asks me to keep him
some dahces. and I promise to do so; but even
her J auntie interrupts, and says:
1'LoLsjdear, I don't .wish you to dance more
thiiu two dances with any one. as people in the
con: itty talk about everything;" and, turning
to f hiifijj, she proceeds to say:
'* I don't want my niece to lay herself open
to criticism; she shall dancre twice with you,
Mr.] Graham."
Philip bows his thanks, but looks disap-
pomted. At the party Aunt Mary introduces
evm- una ^o me. and before Philip can get to
m^ my programme is nearly full; but I have
kept his tw[o dance^^. The first is a quadrille.
Adiitie 'lances opposite to us, and directly it is
ovi>l- she takes mc off to introduce me to
sonie old | lady v.-ho knows my father.
I don'fl know any of my partners, and
I (ijontjcare to. datice with any one; but
I g|j through all the dances in a mechanical
way. and Ket no pleasure out of thenL I notice
that Philip does not dance, and that ever}- time
I ll)Ok at|him he is looking at nie.
At length our waltz arrives. The music seems
herier. ahd the liirht more hrUliant. directly I
fetil Philip's arm round me, as we slide off into
a dijliciousjswimring step.
I'jThis i.'^ nearly as pleasant as sitting bv the
rivtir. Philip, don't you think I" 1 ask ; but he
ausivers, i

'■jit would bo very nice. Philip ; but we shall
nTjcrigo there again," I murmur; and the
mnjiclmikes me loni; to be off again.
AText t n^e we stop is by an open window that

safety of the city in her reconstruction- Lord
Duiferin has pressed the Government to grant
money for the purpo.^ of building wharves and
quays, to promote tho trade of the city ; but a
community that does not help itself can hai-dly
hope that the General Government willshow any
ahicrity in pushing its interests. " Half a dozen
English capitalists," I said to a prominent

" The English won't settle here," he replied ;

or an earnest Catholic. The lang^uage of the

Soldiers' Rations. — Turning to the
British soldier, we find in him the most daintily
fed of all warriors, unless it was the Servian in
last year's war. If we are to believe special cor-
respondents, the rations of the Servian soldiers
were almost unlimited, and furnished a strik-
ing contrast to the fare of the frugal Turks.
An oka, or two and one-half pounds, of bro^wn
bread, half an oka of fresh meat, together with
a niorlicum of rice, meal, and paprika was the
daily ration, the last named comestible being
employed for making soup ; the pot-au-fcu, so we
were assured, was to bo found simmering in
camp from early morn till noon, and then only
came off to make room for the coffee kettle.
The Servian soldiery, too, usually had a ration
of spirits called slivovitch, or plum brandy,
allowed them, and yet withal they had
no , su(di powers of endurance as . tho
maize-fed Turks. In this country a
soldier's ration is three-quarters of a pound of
meat and one pound of bread. wMch is supple-
mented in war time by a quarter of a pound of
cheese, together with cocoa or tea, sugar, &c.
In the Crimea there was a standing order that
hot tea should always be kept ready when prac-
ticable, so that the men might partake of it at
any time, and in the Abyssinian and Aslmntee
campaigns the camps were never broken up of
a moriung before the troops had been supplied
with a cup of warm coffee for breakfast. Tea
and coffee exercise the same effect upon the*
system as wine and spirits, btit their stimula-
tive action is less marked, and our commanding
ofiicers are enjoined never to issue a ration of
spirits except under extraordinary circumstances,
as in the casi^ of distressing marche.s, or when
troops are eusraged in the trenches or up at the
front. And yet, as wo have said, with this ap-
parently liberal feeding, our men do
not receive so mtich actual nourishment
or nitrogenous matter as the German soldier,
whose mainstay is the 2-pound loaf of black
bread he receives daily. The meat, bread,
sugar. &c, received by British .soldiers in the
Crimea yielded, we are told by the Royal Com-
missioners, but 23.52 ounces of nutritive
principle, while (rermany gives her soldiers
;{2.1I0 ounces, which is still further increased
when the latter are fed on suchhiglilv nitrogen-
ous diet as the jH-a-saiisage. TJie 'furks. poor
as their footl may seem to ns, (it being bread
almost alone.) prob.ibiy derive as much nutri-
numt from it asEnglish troops from their bread,
meat, and cocoa; for. weight for weight, the
Turkish rations contain more nitrogenous
matter. If. too. theii- meal is what is termed
" whole flour," it will,' siuce itincludesthe Im.sk,
contain mure nitrogen still, and, like oatmeal,
bo one of the most K«nerous foods known.
Scotch troops, wo fajicy. would be little the
worse if fed solely on porridge for a time. The
reader may remember Lord Elibank's retort on
Dr. Johnson's definition of oals as the food of
horse-iiuEu::Undandof meuinScotland: "Yes,"
said he, "au'l where else will vou find sut-h
horses and such menf" A- growing soldi<'r,
hard at work idl day at gutiHlrill, or other
lahorious work, does not buy extra meat when
he is hungry, but foregoes his Iwer at the can-
teen for another jtound loaf, thus approaching
his diet very nearly to that of the German war-
rior, who, we have shown, lives almost entirely
un bread and enjoys the most nutritive fare.
At the same time it linecessarv to bear in mind
tliat- the conditions tmder which a man lives
must i^uide tlie nature of his food. A man in-
habiting a foM climate such as ours, ro([uires
more animal f'tod- than he would if ho lived in
a country nearer the equator, and British
troops, we fear, would lose much of their
energj- if U-A altogether on farinaceous food.
But. as we have striven to show, it Ls not al-
ways u so-called liberal diet which affords the
soldier the greate.st quantity of nutriment. — J\'u-

Gkn. Cesxola's Tuol'ules IX Cyprus. —
Thti peasants at Aghois Photios secreted in
their houses a good many statuettes, but after
considenible inquiry and the exercise of tact.
Gen. Cesnola learned the names of the thieves
and the nature of the objects that had been
stolen by the principal offenders. He sum-
moned one of these men. and opened before him
a cop3' of Layard's JS'ineveh. a book which has
many illustrations. " This book,'" .said he,
gravel}", " is a book of divination. You have
stolen some of my property. You know it — I
know it. I win show you. by means of this
volume, just what you took." He pointed to a
picture which resembled very nearly the object
which lie had lost, ami then fixed his
eyes upon the bewildered peasant. " The
BlessiHl Virgin!" exclaimed tJio hit-
ter ; " I will get it for you immediately.'" And
off he wi'Ut, retunuiig in a few minutes with the
missing piece, and apparently with the deepest
contrition. Mr. Layard's Nineveh is, in
Gun, Cesiioln's opinion, a most entertaining and
useful treatise. If the peasants bothered the
explorei*, certainlj'the local authoritii^s were not
less troublesome. These dignitaries did not
know the worth of tho General's acquisitions in
Cj^jrus until some of his brother Consuls told
them. Tho brother Constils, not unnaturally,
perhaps, seemed to be very jealous. Tliey in-
formed the authorities that the American Con-
sul was appropriating the wealth of the land ;
that he was digging up vast quantities of gold
and precious stones ; that he hud .found count-
h?ss and priceless works of art ; that he was
enriching himself at the expense of the country.
The noise of their complaints often reached the
Governor-Generfil of the island ; and nothing
but Gen. Cesuola's official position as the ac-
credited representative of the United States
saved his labors from being stopped and his
treasures from being confiscated. Indeed, his
jiositiou needed constantly to be supple-
mented by stratagem. The Austrian Con-
sul, in particular, was an active reporter
at head-quarters, having had a little
qu.arrel with his American peer. For eight years
he never called on him. Finding the excavated
objects accumulating at the American-Consulate,
and not knowing how to store them all. Gen.
Cesuola determined to ship GO boxes of them to
London. He slyly chartered a vessel that was
0 bout to return to Alexandria, intending to re-
ship the goods at that iK)rt. The schooner hap-
pened to bo an Austrian one, and in order to
leave Cnirus it was neces.«ary to get a bill of
lading from the Austrian ConstUate. To that
consulate went Gen. Cesnola's servant. " What
are the contents of these boxes J" inquired tho
representative from Vienna. Gen. Cesnola had
entered the goods as " private effects,", but his
servant stupidly let the cat out of the bag. Tho
Governor-General was WTittcn to about the
matter. He informed Gen. Cesnola, that he
would like to look at the collection before they
left the harbor. The General replied that they
were private effects ; but that, if the Governor-
General desired to see what had been excavated
at CxT^n^.the desire should be gratifled at once.
Would the Governor-General be good enough to
call at the American Consulate, and visit tho
collection i His Excellerfcy wrote that he would.
Meanwhile, tho explorer gathered a large niun-
ber of mutilated and headless figures which had
been cast away as rubbish, or as too heavy for
transportation, and set them in the rooms lately
occupied by the boxed treasures that he wished
to transport. Along the walls in nice order he
placed them ; and upon the shoulders of each
headless figure he stuck a broken and valueless
head taken from the same heap of rubbish. It
mattered not to him that fragments of women's
beads appeared on the bodies of men, and that
fragments of men's heads appeared on the
bodies of women. He did tho best that he
coidd, and awaited the visit of the Governor-Gene-
ral. That functionarj; soon came, clothed in
Oriental-dignity, and in the insignia of office,
and attended by a numerous and imposing
retinue. He traversed those rooms in state, ex-
amined the wonderfid sculptures, oppressed his
satisfaction with their noble artistic qualities,
and his willingness to permit the shipment of
the tJO boxes of " private effects." The story
somehow or other soon £ot sround T^rnak- the
seat of the consulate, and is told there to this
day ; but, whether or not it has reached the
august ears of the Governor-General, history
does not record. — Appletotia' Journal.
Mr. GiuADSTOJrE Opposed to the ITi»tra-
SENTIMENTAL.— Exactly a century ago, in the
year 1777, a Mr. Xacmahon published in Lon-
don a work entitled Th^., Candour ajtd Good-
nature of Engluihmen ErempliiUd. in tftfir Delib-
erate, Cautious, and Charitable ^cay of Cliaracter-
izing the Customs, Manners, Constitutionj and
JieligioH of Neiffhhouring Nations, of which their
own Authors are Everywhere Product as Vouch-
ers ; their Moderate^ Equitable, and Siitnane
Mode of Governing States I}ependent on thenv, and
so forth. I give a specimen of the mode in
which the title is developed in the work :
** You, also, you harmless natives of the Empire
of Hindostan and its dependencies, who are be-
come happy by falling under the dominion of a
certain good-natured European country, you, too,
I mean such of you who are not yet slaughtered
or starved, wUl bear witness to the gentleyieas^
aversion to famine-creating monopolies, ig-
norance in the arts of treachery atul bar-
barous rapacity, of Englishmen." The want of
even-handed justice, which this author rebtiked
in the nation, he may have exhibited himself.
But a genial tone, an equitable frame of mind
toward other cotintries, is, perhaps, not among
tho national virtues. Nineteen hundred years
ago it was said, Visam Britannos hospiiibusferos.
Such a tone, such a frame, as 1 have named, is
certainly not characteristic in general of those
who undertake to guide public opinion at its
centre in the metropolis, and who unhappily are
taken on the Continent of Europe as its authentic
and exclusive organs. Some London newspapers
of very limited circulation will coolly inform
Europe what the British people will do and what
they \vill*not, while 3'et not one Englishman in
200 is so much as aware of their existence ; and
while there are journals in the coootry. having
10 or 20 times as many readers, which are
never noticed in foreign prints. Nothing can
be more absurd, though lew things are more
mischievous, than that the newspapers of the
toilet and the clubs should presimie to declare
the feelings of the nation. An Indian gentle-
man writes to me, under dateJray21. 1877:
'• You have said a great deal recently about the
tjrrauny and oppression of the Turks ; but what
will you think or say. when you hear about the
cruel treatment of the natives of India by your
own countrymen I ** * Wecannot complain
of the injustice that we have been suffering from,
because omr mouths are closed.*' Ireland and
America offer examples of countries whose
estrangement from us has been, in other days
more than at present, promoted or maintained
by a temper of suspicion, arrogance, censorious-
ness, or contempt. But in no instance
that I am aware of has it been so mischiev-
ously or so violently exhibited, as aft the
present juncture with respect to Kussia. Jour-
nals and men. and classes of meri; who never
said a word for Poland or for Hungary as
long as only Poland and Hungary were in
question, have become ultra -sentimental and
super-humanitarian with regard to the mis-
deeds of Russia, now when Russia is engaged,
from whatever motives, in the righteous and
noble work of giving effect to the decisions of
united Europe, and of relieving the races sub-
ject to the Ottoman Turksf roru an intolerable and
most debasing oppression. Nay, more, though
there is no evidence to show that in the cam-
paign against the Yomud Tartars the Russian
soldiers took a single life after actual and very
sharp battle ceased, the most violent language
is used, not only by the few totally unscrupu-
lous journalists to be found here and there
among us. but among popular writers whom we
must crt^t with the most honorable inten-
tions. So. for example. Capt. Bumaby, who
seems to have visited Khiva not until tlie third
year after the Russian expedition, gives a series
of frightful statements, and winds them up
with the words, "hell was let loose in Turko-
mania." And yet he does not so much as quote
any authority whatever. Indeed, he pens his
sweeping denunciation after having" studied"
the work of MacGahan on the Khivan campaign,
which is founded on personal experience atid
sight, and is diametrically at variance with
these statements. — Ron. W.' E. Gladstone inth^
Contemporary R^^vitxv.
ScnopEKnAUER ox WoME^. — The ti-ue vo-
cation and the highest merit of woman Schopen-
hauer believes to be embodied in the words of a
French author: "Sans les femmes, le com-
mencement de notre vie serait priv^ de secours,
le milieu de plaisirs. et la fin de consolation."
"The verj'appearanceof the female form," he con-
tinues, "shows that woman is not destined for
great intellectual or physical achievements. She
pays the debt of life not by doing but by suffer-
ing, by the pains of child-bearing, by the care
for her infant, and the submissiou to her hus-
band, to whom she ought to be a patient and
cheering companion." How much soever such
an idea of woman's mission may clash with mod-
ern notions on the subject, it gives but a mild
foretaste of what is to follow. Here is a more
racy specimen: "Women are so eminently
ailapted to- tend and educate our early in-
fancy, because they themselves- are child-
ish. " silly, short-sighted — in fact, big chil-
dren— ail their lives. They form a
kind of intermediate step between the child and
the man, who is the representative of humanity
proper.'' We next come to a contribution to
the philosophy of marriage worthy of Balzac
himself. "Mature," Schopenhauer opines, "in-
tends girls for a startling effect in a melodra-
ma'tic sense : for that reason she endows them
with abundant beauty and charms, for a few
years and at the cost of the remainder of their
lives, in order that they may captivate the
fancy of man to such a degree as to induce him
to undertake the support of their existence : for
calm deliberation would hardly be sufficient
motive for such a step.**- *' The more perfect a
thing is." we read in another paragraph, " the
later and slower will be its maturity, ifan at-
tains tho maturity of hLs intellectual faculty
hardly before the 2Sth year ; woman at her
iJSth ; but then the hitter is accordingly of
the narrowest conipa.ss." That an asserter of
male superiority to this degree should scorn the
idea of woman's rights and advocate her per-
petual tutelage in matters of property, may
seem natural. But here again we tread on pL-r-
soual jjround. The improvidence of hts mother,
which lost her own and imminently endangered
Schopenhauer's moderate competence, was one
of his chief grievances ag:iinst her. and when
he speaks of the extravagance of the sex, the
individual allusion is as obvious as in that other
passage where he lays the Kxeater proportion of
judicial perjuries at woman's door, and suggests
that the testimony of two men ought to be tan-
tamount to that ot double that number of fe-
males at least. B\it Schoyenhauer wotdd be the
last iK-'rsou to admit, or eveu realize
to himself, this reminiscence of a fair
though voluble plaintiff iu a certain
lawsuit. According to him, woman's want
of veracity is founded on an eternal law of na-
ture. What his teeth and claws are to the lion,
his tusks to the elephant, his horns to the bull,
his personal strength and his reason toman,
that to woman is the gift of deception, given to
her by nattire as her weapon of attack and' de-
fense. " Hypocrisy, therefore, is natural to
her, and at the command of .stupid and elevet
women alike. * ** * A wholly truthful and
sincere^ woman is for that reason perhaps im-
possible." " The common relation among men
IS mutual indiff'erence ; that among women,
emnit\-. * * * Even on meeting in the
street they look at each other like Guelphs and
Ghibellines ; and on being introduced to each
other, two women always behave with more
visible stiffness and insincerity than two men,
for which reason compliments between women
sound much more ridiculous than between
men." — 27ic New Quarterly Magazine,
The Sailor. — The sailor who goes long
voyages in sailing-ships, even if married, is
practically a homeless and friendless man.
Rare indeed are his opportunities of eid vising
with a counselor in a sphere superior to his
own, or gaining the favor of a powerful patron.
The ship-owner knows nothing of the seamen in
his employ, and no ties like those that bind to-
gether the landlord and tenant, the cottager and
the squire, can be established between them.
Again, there is difficulty in giving to the sailor
a direct inducement to diligence. That is
done in other employments by piece-work.
The nature of the occupation forbids
the extension of such a system to the
sea; and thus the sailor is not animated
by the incentives to vigorous exertion
which exercise such a wholesome influence over
other classes of workmen in correcting the in-
dolence which is part of human nature. A
lesson may be learned by contrasting the priv-
ileges of the quarter-deck with the disadvan-
tages of the forecastle. From time to time the
iiQu-s-^n^ra have been filled with oomtiUintft of
the misconduct of British 9eamen in foreign

silk-worm, and had already begun to realize coa-j
siderable profit from liis novf I venture. I'p<»n
our request- to be allowed; to see the objL-ct'i
of his care, we were courteously conducted!
to a large partially darkened room, fittetl uji
with a double row of slielves in tlie rentrei
like those used in many larmhnuses for th^
storage of cheese. On lirst entering the roor'
our ears were assailed by a inistliug noise as ol
much munching, reminding us of the ncconur!
we had read of anamiy <»f locusis. aud as oui
eyes Iwcame accustomed to ihe subdued licrht w
found that the noise proceeii*^d from a multilud^
which I think might be counted fey many tboui
sands, if notmilUons. of cateriJillars, in man>f
stages of growth, whose voracious apjV^titwi
were satisfied by the huge >t:iskets of leave4
culled from the hedges of white miiiberrj* whicH
we had seen : and in this w«jrk alone four
women were constantly employed. The shelves^
which were light and inovable, and stirrounde<i
by a narrow ledge, were taken off in rotationj
the dr\' partially consumed haves, with sueh
luckless individuals as adhensl to tht* ni. bein^
shaken into an emptv basket, and the -vigoroiw
worms ."Supplied with^resh leaves «cveraltimesri
day. We had supposed that this refuse wotild In*
thrown aside as useless rubbish afu-r the worms
had been carefully picked fnun it. but we werd
told, on the contrary, that this maissof withenHi
leaves formed excellent litter for the cattle, w^licf
ate what they chose, treadinir the rest undeaf
foot for mauure : and as for the f»'W worni^ mU
hering to the refuse, the fact of tlieir doing <<i
proved them to be weak and unhealthy, aufl
therefore useless : so they wt-re consigned t'*
their doom to be trodden to death by the cattleJ
Having examined the worms in all their varioui^
stages, from the tiny recently hatched to the
great ugly-looking cretitures as large as al
finger, just ready to spin, we were shown into
another room tilled wiili branches of trees
upon which tho more ad vtvuced .worms wera
busy spinning llieir coco<ins. Solue of thesU
are carefully selected and res*.T\-ed for a supplw
of eggs for the next vear. while the remaiudeif
are wound off for silV. the nioihs ilius trealeil
being, I believe, generally killed by the processj
or too much injured by the necessary immersioa
in hot water to be depended upon for fertila
eggs. In yet another room lay the rich pro-t
duce of the previous year, great nijisses of rich
creamy silk, ready for deliver)* to the merchant^
to be caixled and spun, and prepared by many
processes for the maiiufa-'turer. The manner iu
which the worms are reared and manag(-d iii
this Tyrolean schlonx is strictly analogous tothac
employed in China, and is. doubtless, that
which has beeu found by exp»?rienf'e to b*i
the most simpl;
we learn from
The worms are
one above the other, and only differ from ihosd
we have been describing in bein^^ placed iu
round bamboo sieves upon these shelves. Then,
again, we learn that "the tn-vs, or rathetj
bushes, of white mullierry. are phmted iu row?^
on the banks of canals, and not all'iwed to grovr
more thau from four to sLx feet in height. Th«
natives cut all the young shoots off cluse to the
stump, and the leaves are slrippL-d from thesean-l
taken home. The Chinese iseem ver)' particuhu:
in stirring up the earth rounil the roots as soon
as the young branches autl leaves have beea^
stripped' from thent.'' Now, one of the greatest!
obstacles to the aucfe^-sful reaiiuir *'C silk-worxu-*
in England Is. undoubtedly, the baekwardues*
of the mulberr,' tree. The wmnis aru

last year (1S76) in St. Louis, it was also
officially reported, that under what may be
called .a hnalihy trade there was at lea.st 33 per
cent, jrnjater present capacity for making; stoves

consideration of our industries as a whole, are
also given in the last national census, which
shows that while the increase i^ population in

A VETEB.\:r AND HIS Ct-E. — The order in
ISOl to cTit off their hair, issued by Brig.-
Geu. James Wilkinson, then General-in-
Cluef, caused great indignation amongjthe vet-
eran oBBc-rs, who looked tipon it as a 'i French
innovat?on." It was as follows: " Foir the ac-
commedation, comfort, and health of the troops,
the lif.ir is to be cropped without exception, and
the ("reneral will give the example." This was
followed by another, r^-hich Said: "Whis-
kers and snort hair 1^4- Record ; they will not,
tl» .'refore, be permitted t<^ extend lower than the
l»jttom of the ear. The Ifess hair about a soldier's
t ead, tho neater and peaner will he be." Of
'the.se orders, the first, ^9 to cropping the hair,
is still in force. Tho second, as to wearing
whiskers dn any other manner than thus pre-
scribed, was not rescinded until 1S53 : and
then it was prescribed and still is
the regulation that *' the beard may be worn at
tbe pleasure of the individiuil, but must be kept
»lv»rt and neatly trimrae*!." For the Corps of
OfMlata th«ra i* still iba regulation, wliich ia
strictly enforced, that, " the hair is to be shortj
or what is generally termed cropped; whiskers
and mustaches shall not be worn.'.' In 1801
there was an old and distinguished officer,
Lieut-Col. "Thomas Butler, commanditg Mie
Second Kegular Infantry, who ha<l entei^d the
Second Pennsylvania Infantiy as a First L^eur
tenant in 177t> (St, Clair's Regiment, Jan. [5,)
served through that war -with honor h^en
wounded, and agairi twice wotinded in St. Clajir'j
defeat in 1791. H^ solemnly declared he would
not cut off his much prized cue. Gen. "V rilkinj
son did not theii press the matter, but issued
the following br'der : •' Lieut.-Col. Oomman-^
dant Butler, at j bis particular request, and| iil
consideration of liis infirm health, has jierntisl
sion to wear his hair. On the subject ^ )f this
measure the General will brietlly observe tlia^
it has been sanctioned in America by th|e tirst
military characters of tho British and Amerif
can Armies : that it has been recommended | h^
the ablest Generals who have lived, and has
been adopted by the best troops in the world^
and that the cut of the hair is as essential a
part of military' uniform as tho cut of the
coat or color |of the facings." Afterwartl
Wilkinson withdrew the indulgence, and. a^
Col. Butler persisted in a cue, he sent htmj iii
1S03, before a general court-martial of his
own appointment, on this, for disobedienjce j of
orders and othjer matters. He was acquitletl
of the other charges, but sentenced tp |be
reprimanded, ^hich gavo Wilkinson an pp|
portunity to iudulire in invective and; Sar-
casm, aud to again order Col. Butler to cut ; off
Ids hair. The' latter, in a 'personal interview,
refused, (Wilkiison to Secretary of War,|W(»sh-

and having gone to New-Orleans and assuihetL

At this time, an artillery officer, writing boine,
-said : " Col. Butler wears his hair and is| deter-
mined not to cjat it off." (New-Orleans, Nov.

The Kegen'eratiox of BrLOARiA. — The
regeneration of Bulgaria is already begun on
the principles which have long prevailed i in
Poland, The Mtissulman land-owners are to be
even more completely expropriated than the
Polish nobility ; aud they will also be expelled
from tbi.'ir native country. The Bulgarian
Christians will probably be disappointed if they
exi)eci to receive a free gift of tho confiscated
bmds. The Rn.ssians have heavy expeniios to
recoup, aud the estates from which the (Vwhers
are expelled will probably be sold to native pur-
chasers to defray a portion of the cost df the
campaign. No precedent can be found tor so
sweepiuc » Imeaoure of spoliation on relijzioua
grounds since the ezpnlsion of the Moors f rt>ni
Granada. The difficulty of reconciling the Mo-
hammedan and Christian populations has often
been recognized ; but it was not foreseen that the
knot would Ije cut without scruple by Russia.
The definitive character of the proposed con-
quest is shown by the order that all official busi-
ne.ss shall be transacted in the Russian lan-
guage. The Bulgarians perhaps by this time
understand the moaning of disinterested liber-
ation.— The Sat'.trdui/ Review.
FDfLAXD. — Finland, which, rightly
handled, might be one of the Czar's richest pos-
sessions, is now, after nearly 70 years' occupa-
tion, as unprofitable as ever. Throughout the
whole province there are only 398 miles of rail-
way. Post-roads, scarce enough in the South,
are absolutely wanting in the North. Steam
navigation on the Gulf of Bothnia extends only
to Uleaborg. and is, so far as I can learn, ac-
tually non-esLstent on the great lakes, except
between Tanasthuus and Tammerfors. Such is
the state of a land containing boundless water-
power, countless acres of fine timber, conntless
ship-loads of splendid granite. But what can
be expected of an untaught population
under 2.000,000 left to themselves in
an unreclaimed country nearly as largo
as France? Helsingfors can now be
reached from St. Petersbug, via Viborg, in
Idio hours ; but what is one such line to
the boundle.ss eniptiness of Finland I The fear-
ful lesson of iHVtQ will not be easily forgotten,
when all the horrors of famine were let loose at
once upon the nnliappy province. Seed-corn
was exhausted ; bread became dear, dearer still,
and then failed altogether. Men, women, and
children struggling over snowy moors and
frozen takes toward the distant towns in which
lay their only chance of life, dropped one by
one on the long march of de.ith, and were de-
voured ere they were cold by the pursuing
wolves. Nor did tho survivors fai-e much bet-
ter ; some reached the haven of refuge only to
fall dead in its very streets. Others gorged
themselves with unwholesome food, and died
with it in their mouth.s. Fields h*ing waste;
villages dispeople<l; private houses turned
into hospitals; fever- parched skeletons tot-
tering from the doors of overcrowded
asylums ; children wandering about * in
gaunt and . scjualid nakedness ; crowds
of men, frenzied by prolonged misery, and ripe
forany outrage, roaming the streets night and
day — such were tho rfcones enacted throuKhout
the length of Finland during two months and a
half. But better days are now dawning on the
afflicted land. Roads and railways are being
pushed forward into the interior," and the ill-
judged attempts formerly made to Russianize
the population have given place to a more con-
cili:itory pijlicy. Loeturos are being delivered
at IIeIsinfrf"ors. and extracts from native works
read, in the aboriginal tongue; that it is being
treated with special attention in the great
schools of Southern Finland ; that there has
even been .some talk of dramatic representa-
tions in Finnish at the Helsingfors theatre.
Such a policy is at ouco prudent and generous,
and far betti^r e:ilculate<l to biml together the
heterogeneous races of the empire than that ab-
surd ** Pan-Slarism," which is best translated as
"making everj' one a slave." — Lipjiincolt's

A Greek Easter. — As my visit to the
Troad was during tho Greek Easter, it may be
worth while giving a very slight account of
some of the ceremonies. At the village of
Kalifatii all the people collected in the church
shortly after midnight on the morning of
Easter Sunday. Men, wom-.;n. and children
were there with lighted caudle.s, and at first
the ceremony beg:in in tho porch, wher©' the
priest was reading the service from a book
placed in a tempt»rar>- desk. Tho men were
firing guns and pistols, and in an open space in
front of the church an immense pile of brush-
wovid had been collected ; this was set firo to.
aiid as it blazed away rapidly, a dark object ap-
peared in the miildlo of the mass of flame. It
proveil to be a cross with a figure upon it. and
this figure was .Tud.is Iscariot. Thf* people then
entered the church, where the service wjis con-
tinued till an early hour in the morning. There
is one part of the ceremony which I regret I did
uitt witness, but. according to description, it
consists in breaking tbe E;tstor eggs. Quanti-
ties are dyed red and boileil very hard ; a plate-
ful was laid as a separate dish at our breakfast
as hot cross-buns would he In England :
but i:> tho church some time during the
morning even.', vne breaks an ecg. and repeats
•• Christ hrt« risen." This ver>' peculiar cere-
mony, re'-alliug the old idea of the Great Mun-
dane Egg. out of which creation and light cume.
sugge.sts that the folklore of the region might
also prove to he a valuable field of exploration.
rrimitivf ceremonies have evidently survived
the intnuluction of Christianity, ancl there is no
savin-/ but. if they were minutely studied, they
might throw- some light onmauyof the Homeric
quistioiks. For thrcf days the whole population
in each village gave themselves ud lo a
•■ festa." Dres-ied in their l>est. in some
open space, a largo eircid.-»r dance was
kept up: it never ."efined to stop till the dark-
ness of evening came tm, for some entered the
circle as <)thers lt*ft. They held each other's
bauds and went roinid. left shoulder to the cen-
tre; all rite-; in the Greek Church where the al-
t^ir is cir-'umambulated are in this direction:
the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem is gone round
ihre*' times in this wav at the Cereniony of tho
Holv Fir'*. The musicians were in the middle, a
couple of shrill clarions and a large dnm>, and.
strange t') say. in every village where we saw
this (lance this primitive orchestra was com-
po-ied of Mohammedans. The long Lent of the
rirtH'k Church is very rigid, and there is a plen-
tifid i!idulgence in a better fare during this
festa. liamii. I understood, was considered an
essential element of the food partaken of at this
time ; and it must be associase*! with some iib.'as

which were decorated with bits of colored cloth.

The American- .Tewisii Hotel Question.
— It is quito natural and proper that the Ameri-
can Jews should resfrnt con'luet so mean
and so silly that it injures tho people who offer
mucii more than those who receive the insult.
American .attempts at establishing some sort of
aristociracy have always been amusing and in-
structive. Human nature revolts against theo-
retical etpiality, and seeks in every direction for
some difference, some superiority, in which to
rejoice. Every one h;is met Americans of sense,
of good manners, and education, but they are
not the people who are always trying to invent
an aristocracy. They are in no danger of being
mistaken for purse-proud adventurers, ai:d it
never occurs to them to a.ssert that equality
with European society which is naturally ac-
knowledged without doubt or hesitation.
It is people lately enricheil by trade, and
still reveling in the freshness of luxury, who
wish to be thouglit bett«T than their equals, and
find a difii'-'ulty iu proving that they arx? not
even as other successful dealers in shoddy or
dabblers in stock.-n. It is often easy for them,
however, to prove to demonstration that they
do not belong Ui the most ancient of existing
races. As they must be exclusive, if they are
to enjoy themselves, they try to exclude Jews
from the inns in which their women dress some
six or seven times a day, and display their silks
and diamonds. The Constitution of the United
States, not foreseeing this freak of fashion, but
moved by other cau.st!S, has made this kind of
aristocratic reserve an offense against law. It
must be painful to many snobs to belong to a
country where la<lies cannot be what they call
select \\ithout obliging innkeepers to incur tines
and imprisonment. — iiaturda^j Rtvieiv.
LSTTiyiS TO AN ESGLISn MlNISTEK OP
State. — Of all her Majesty's principal Minis-
ters of State, none are so much .solicited by re-
quests to receive deputations, and by general
correspondence of an inde.scribably miscellane-
ous character, as tlie Chancellor of the Excheq-
uer and the Secretary ..of the Home Depart-
mont. Among those letters are some of the
most useful and suggestive- received in' Down-
ing-streut. Tho departments and legislation
of which those two Ministers have charge ren-
der it desirable and necessary that they
should have the minutest acquaintance with
special demands and local requirements.
A comparatively trivial alteration in the
incidence of a tax may make all the difference
l>etween the imposition and the removal of a
bnrdeu of dL-icontent. Is it a licensing bill on
which the Right Honorable the Secretary of
State for the Home Dapartment is engaged f Of
course, the "most exhaustive investigation
wliich official machinery can command into the
wants and wi.shos of the people has l>een made
before the measure was drafted. But the offi-
cial eye is sure to ne<jlect something. There
are certain facts, certain exceptional conditions
prevailing in particular districts, which have
somehow been ignored. Theso are fonnaUy
commtuiicattfd to the department which takes
co^i2ance of them, are duly inquired into, and
very frequently have the effect of considerably
modifyingi the ministerial measure. Per contra,
neither at|the Home Office nor the Treasury are
the letters of impracticable crotcheteers and
vain and ' pragmatic hobbyists unknown. If
preposterous pronosals and utterly impractica-
ble plans douM have contributed to such a re-
sult, an efncie.'it alternative to capital punish-
ment would long since have been discovered,
nay, crime itself p«rould have probably become
extinct in this resdm, while as for the Chancellor
of [the Exchequeii, he would have paid otf the

I BlOGRjAipHY.— Theinlelleelual world seems

Changes of inteWectual fashion are marked in

The passing from populai favor of the massive
folio formjs of the fifteenth aud sixteenth cen-
turies, for example, is deeply signili«-a,ut. It
tells of gr^at mental and social movements. It
is a chapterin the symbolic history of the human
mind. N'ot less wouhl the inlei*est be to a stu-
dent of alterations in fashion as to the various
classes of |iterature. As these have come into
demand by turn, or have alternately gaiijed and
lost their i»old on the public mind, they have
served to mark shitting phases oi intellectual
and soidal life, as may be seen on drawing
parallels between tho times v.-hen Milton's

tions of intellectual fashion, which may h^i
taken as deeply significant of progressive
change In the character of liuman tbyu^ht,
principleil and feeliug. Biog:-auhy has always
held » aiich itlace in the esteem of th^ few
whose taste and intellectual vigor have proved
comparatively independent of the more
changeable fancies of the popular mind ;
while from the beginning it has, now
and then, secured for itself a pe-
riod of command oven over the reading
multitude. This has been owing partly, per-
haps, to tho fact that it has brought before the
attention of the many tlie persons, character,
doings, .and habits, the private as well as public
life of the distinguished few. Biography has
been popular because it has gratified the vulgar
curiositv by unveiling the idols which liave
been mysterious objects of tbe world's wondi>r,
and whose mere names the crowd still delights
to honor. So it wa,s, and to some extent still is,
with what has been calle<l classic biography,
produced by the few authors whose names re-
main among the leaders of profane litera-
ture at the opening of tbe Christian era. These
biographers have intrinsic merits which keep
their names alive irrespective of the position
and character of those whose lives they .sketch :
though too many of their sketches have their
chief attractions in .sensational exhibitions of
splendid vice. — The Loudon Qnartfrlt/ Jieview,

^^Sl.w*:*. — Slang is little else than metaphor,
and couiparistui of a homely sort drawn from
tile farm, the slir>p. the niine, the forecastle, the
camp, tbe street, or from any matt**r of common
observation. A few rxudom instances will be
enough to make this plain : " To blow a cbmd.*'
" lo liare up," *• to cotton to." " t j plaj' second
fiddle," "acliip (d' the (dd block." are expres-
sions that need lU} e^planalion. Others, while
si!;ii!''s. cloirly. are nr»t exactly understood, like
••gcjto pot." which n.-fers. it is said, to the
midiitig-pot t'or refuse metal. t)tliers gather
vim. if wc sto]» to think v.'hence they conn!.
No doubt a t^'amster cracking his whip over
bis four or .-*ix horses was tbe first t<i de-
scribe someiiiing Wi*ak or sbaliby as a
"one-horse cou'vrn," ju->t as. conversely, his
ei!thusi:i-tm for a fellow always ready lo pay for
iho ilrinks. found vein in dul>tiimr him a " whole
team and a little dog under the wagon." New
phnises are <ront!nuaI!y reinforcing or super-
seding the jdd, but both uew and oUl are of one
nature. Tlie gambler's lingo is used when a
deiMl man is said to liave "passed in his checks."
and the go Id -seeker's when a -speculation is saiil
"to pan out" well. ' Pers;ms whose pretensions
to refinement forbid their use of slang and of
exjjressions whicli they think belong to the vul-
gar, b:ive t heir own set of metaphors. To
tliem the clou<ls are '* fieecy." and the sun-
set "golden." home is "sweet." to part with
friends is " bittei-," and so on through a list
which the reader shall ije spai-ed. Their speech
is garnished wiih scraps from all the poets and
from lloly Writ, instead of with proverbs. A

TnK CoM.MOxiq.ACf: in Literature.—
■While some remove from the commonplace is
necessary to make g.iod literary material of a
rharacler, it is not certain that there is any such
restriction as to incidents. Cnusual incidents
are more likely to bo the worst rather tlian the
be.st. This is a question of treatment and of
genius. A true author makes more of his hero
eiiting his breakfast of "ueefsteak atid potatoes
than a bungler of bis scaling precipices lo res-
cut? Augidina from brigaud-s. The question of
gc-idus. indeed, when one thinks of it. modi-
lie.-: the definition of the commonplace to
.such an extfUt that it is hardly safe to assert
that there is- any material not tit for literary
use. The genius sees deeper than his fellows,
aud wka'. is tril^ and wearisome to the rest of
u^ may be full of hidden meaninscs to iiim. He
can arotise the Intensest interest in "^e fortunes
of John Smith, tiie comer grocer, while the
clumsy pretender will have Sir Vernon de
Travers Beresford-Grosvenor left cold upon his
hands. By the commonplace I mean that which
is recognized as such by common consent. — The
Atlantic Monthly.
Saxon England. — Since tho time of
Alfred a national literature has been growing
up, of which the very fragments that have sur-
vived the revolution of conquest and many cen-
turies of liteniry neglect, are greater than tbe
native contemporjxneous literature of any other
people in Europe. Xo other nation possesses a
hody of history such as tho Anglo-Saxon Bede
and the Chronicles. The theological literature,
although , slight in comparison with that of
the Latin-speaking nations, testifies, by the fact
that it is in the tongue of the people, to a far
more thorough religious sympathy between tho
teachers nnd tho taught than can be with any
degree of nrobability attributed to the conti-
nental churches. In medicine, natural science,
grammar, geography, the English of the elev-
enth century had manuals in their own tongue.
They had arts too, of their own; goldsmith's
work, embroidery, illuminarion of manuscripts
fiourisbed, as well as the craft of the weaver and
the armorer. The domestic civilization of
England, with- all its drawbacks, was far be-
yond that of France. The Xorman fcuigh'ts
despised. under\'alued, and destroyed much
that they could not comprehend. England was
behind Europe in some of the arts which they
had in common, but she had much that was her
own, and developed what she had in common
by her own gennis. She might be behind in
architecture, although that remains to be
proved, for much that we know as the work of
Norman architects was imitated from Roman
models — an imitation wliich, althousrb it later
developed into systems far freer and nobler
than anything that exj.sted before. ^\'as .still
only ad\*ancing from its rudest stage in France
and Germany. England wa.s slow in following
the architecture, as she was in following the
politics, of the Continent. It is seldom
remembered, in coiunaring Norman and
Anglo-Saxon in j>oint of civilization,
how ver>- little the Norman brought
in comparison with what he destroyed,
and how very litUe he- brought that was
his own. His law was Frank or Lombard,
bis general cultivation that of Lanfnuic ami
Anselm. far more Jt:UiM,n than jiative:

with the insolence of a barbarian ; he had
for;;atten bis own language, he harl no

Bui he was a spk-ndid .soldier, he had seen the t
great world East and West, he knew the balance |
of power between Popes aud Emperors, and he j
w:is a conque*or ; he held the rod of discipline
which was to school England to the knowledge
of ber own strength and'power of freedom : lie
was to drag her into the general network of the
spiritual and temporal politics of the world,
nmsing her thereby to a consciousness of uusus-
pecierl. undevelo7>ed powers ; he was to give a
new direcion to her energies, to widen and unite
and consolidate her sympathies, to train her to
loyalty and patriotism, aud in tbe process to im-
part so much, and lo cast away so much, that
when the time of awakening c^me. the con-
queror and tbe conquered, the race of the o]>
pressor and the race of the oppressed, were to
tind themselves one people. — is'tubbs^ O'tustitu-
tional History of KngUituU
Certaldo, Boccaccio's Tow n.— Cortaldo
is some five or sis and twenty miles from Flor-
ence, and is a station on the line of rail be-
tween Empoli, on the Val d'Arno. and Siena.
The little town crests the summit of a curving
hill, at the foot of which the rail runs, along
thexailey of tbe Elsa. one of the most fertile
of Tuscany. A new town, as in so many anoilier
sijuilar case, has arisen in the neighborhood of
the rail ; and whatever slender elements of
activity and prosperity may yet remain in the
plai-e have been thus drawn off from, the ancient
town to aliment tho modern upstart. The
decadence of old Certaldo is^herefore complete.
Vet the ancient and venerable ro-rca. or fortress,
as these old toyvns so situated are invariably
called, still stands begirt with its crumbiing walls,
and. though aj^parently owing nothing foH
many a past year to the repairing hand of mason.
bricklayer, or carpenter, still bids grim defianee
to Father Time, and <;ontinueslo afford a shelter
to the descendants of Boccaccio's fellow-towns-
men. A modem zigzag road has beafa con-
structed, by which carriages may n'>w ascend
from the valley to the old town ; but the old
pavetl way up to the town still remain?, atiil.
like most otliers of the ol 1 hill-roadsof Ttiscam-.
was evidently iiitended only for horses \iv
nmles, an<l nnist have been severe climbing for
them. We may. I think, feel siire that porHy
Messer Giovanni never attempted the ascentJuii
foot ; but I fancy I can see hiua on his discy***'!
m:ile. with bLs riding-cloak around him. toiling
uj» the Jiscont at sober pace, and reading, per-
haps, a small pocket volume, as his beast with
regular steps clanibers up the well-known
steep. He is returning from Florence,
tired with tho ride and anxious to find
himself in tbe repose of his own home.
Tlie gateway he is thus approacbins
opens imme<liate]y. on tlie brow of the hill-
precipice, it might almost be called — and the
entir** walls stand similarly on the very edge of
the steep descent, so that the little town occu-
pies the whole of the table-land on the top of
the hill. It contains, however, little more than
one street, paved, after the invariable fashion
of Tuscany, with flagstones. In this stn^'t two
or three housfis still retain the tower which ouce
marked the residence of a patrician : and one tif
tliese is pointed out — any urchin in the street
will serve as cicerone for the purpose — as the
house of Bi>ccaccio. It is the one single glor},\
boast, and source of interest which still remains
to the town in the wreck of its fortunes, and is
fully appre<'iate<l as stxch by its inhahiiants.
When a strangi-T is descried wendinir liLs slow
way up from the railway station to the towjj.
the old datue who keeps the key of " the
bouse '' is summonwl to bo in readiness, for
nobody imagines for a mtiment that any human
being can come toCertaldo for any other pur-
pi>.-5e than to see Messer Giovanni's house and
t>urial-place. .-V poor little attempt at a cafe.
tbe only place of public entertainment IK»s-
ses^ed by the town, is called the " Cafffe di P.<tc-
caccio." The house, which had become the
dwelling and magazine t»f a charcoal-dealer, wa^
preserved from further deexadatiouand destmc-
lion by the Marcliesci Carlotta Lenzoni. who
purchased it some quarter of a century ago,
and caused it to be preserved in its primitive
condition. Tliough ennobled by the jtossession
of a tower, it is au exceedingly small dwelling.
On the ground fioor. immi;diarely on the right
hand of the entrance, isa .small room, now wholly
unf uruislud and unfloored. This may have proba-
bly been the loilging of the ba<*he!or poet's <me
miiid-servant. liut this room, the entrance, and
the stjiircase occu]»y all the ground fioor ; and
one good-sized room, some li.» feet long by 1*^
wiile, constitutes the entire first fioor. Above
this, with the exception of the tower and uiinja-
tiu-e kitchen, there is nothing. In this room,
the drawing-room, lil>rar\-, dining-room, aufl
bed-room of tho poet, the Marchesa Carlotta
Leux.oui has established a little Museum Boccoc-
ciaiium, con.sisting of all the ancient articles of
furniture of the poet's day which remained in
the house, a little cabinet containing nire and
eurly editions of ,his works, a specimen of ins
autograjdi, aud some other memorials. — JJ^l-

IIein-e and His Teacheil— Heine, like
the sphinx of his own weird poem, half-tondcr.
smiling humanity, half animal, fierce and lust-
ful, at once spiritual essence of poetry and
worshiper of fieshly delights — Don Quixote in
bis warringa against oppression, and Voltaire
in his .scoffings against things sacred — Heine,
not only as wit, poet, and satirist, but as man,
with soul striving to reach the heights, and
body chained to earth, awakens our curiosity,
and fa.scinatcs our thought, with the keen in-
terest of a living enigma! Bom with the
century, when the world's Whole and
anxious attention was ceatred on that
mighty Captain's doings who from victon-
to victory >\-tts marching triumphantly throu-rh
all lands, changing the boundaries of kiii;^loms
and countries, Heine early drank in the spirit
of the Napoleonic epoch. His first education,
though ho was bom a German and a Jew. Wiis
French and military, for a soldier of Napoleon's
army of occupatifiu edu«jated the spirit of the
Diisseldorf boy. How Kroat a share this old
veteran of France bad in shaping the ta.sTcs
of Heine's manhood, we learn from those lieart-
moving i»ages of the Jieisfhilder. to which for
title he has given his old friend's name. 1/att

"XlfaZISB GRAMMAR"— so CALLED.
BT VtCaUB} QKA!T WBITX;
" ' Ah, it's me,' said Mr. Sqneers, ' and
me'i the first person singular, nominative ease,
agreeing with the verb it's, and governed by
Sqnsers onderstood; aa, a acorn a hour ; but
Vhen the h is sounded, the a only Is written, as
a hand, a heart, a highway,"' This delicious
passage is, like almost all of its author's writing,
a caricature, but a caricature full of life and
truth. The reason of its being so exquisitely
laughable is not because of its representation of
the ignorance of the schoolmaster, the union of {
the pedagogue and the ignoiamos having been
often presented before ; but because it pre-i
■enta in a compact and ridiculously impres-
■Ive form the vague, confused memories
left in most minds by the study of
that absurd and utterly useless "branch" ofj
•dncation, Bngllsh grammar. It is constructed
^th admirable art. The blunder in the person
and case of nie,- and the making the noun agree
with the verb, the confused reference to it's as
a verb, the single syllable really containing the
verb ii, make a ridiculous muddle, Indeed ; but
this would have failed of its present effect ^th-
out the introduction of that sage and mysterious
formula of " parsing " which completes the
analysis, "and governed by Squeers under-
stood." The climax is capped by the "as" in-
troducing, in the manner of grammarians,
an example which is entirely from the
purpose, and which is not only confused
and erroneous, but, with all its absurdity,
so characteristic an example of the style of illus-
tration In English grammar that every person
who has been put through the bewildering dis-
cipline of that study recognizes on the instant
the condition of his own mind at some period
at his pupilage. Dickens is the great master of
this sort of word caricature — ^that which repre-
sents a confused recollection of facts and an in-
consequent, disconnected succession of thoughts.,
Shakespeare did it, of course, as he did every-
thing. But he did It merely by the way, in
passing. Dickens lays himself out on it, elabo-
rates it, and rises with it to the height of the
ridiculous— in Mrs. Gamp, for instance, and
Flora, in ZittJe Dorrit.
1 believe that 1 have not overstated the case
in saying that Mr. Squeers's amazing effort in
parsing is a mere caricature of the impression
left upon most minds by the study of English
grammar. 1 know that there are some persons
who have not yet written- English grammars —
the existing number of which, however, shows
that a very large proportion of the Eng-
lish-speaking race must have engaged at
one period or another in that cheerful
occupation — but who, mute, inglorious
Lindley Murrays ahd Gould Browns, do
believe that to speak and writ© " good gram-
mar " is the highest attainable point in educa-
tion, and to whom a sentence, albeit uttered by
the Supreme Wisdom amid thunderings and
lightnings, is chiefly something that may be
parsed. But these people are specialists, and
partake of the insanity that pertains to special-
ism. Those who I expect will aerree with ma
are the mass of intelligent people to whom lan-
guage is merely the means of communicating
facts and thoughts.
I have called English grammar an absurd and
useless study ; and X verily and soberly believe
it to be so. Its absurdity I hope to show in the
consideration of its rules and methods ; its use-
lessness will appear upon a brief glance at the
hisiory of English literature. I" believe that
the effect of the study of English grammar, so
called, is to cramp the free action of the mind,
to bewilder and confuse where it does not en-
feeble and formalize, to pervert the perception of
the true excellence of English speech, and in
brief, to substitute the sham of a dead form for
the reality of a living spirit.
Grammar is at war with common sense. And
( must say here that by grammar I mean formal
^ammar. that system of language which
»}nstructs sentences upon the correspond-
ence of the forms of words, or, where
there are no forms or few, upon the imaginary
relations of words, instead of the logical order
of thought. And by saying that grammar is at
war with common sense, I do not mean that it
is inconsistent with sense ; for that would be
to relegate to the realms of nonsense much of
the profoundest wisdom, the most beautiful
imagination, and the most delightful humor
that past ages have given to the world. By
common sense we mean that faculty of perceiv-
ing the practical relations of things which is the
best guide through life, which may exist in an
. aninatructed and very common-place mind, and ,
whioh may be entirely lacking in on» which is
stored with learning or gifted with creative
gonlns. This faculty exists in a greater degree
in some races than in others. The Anglo-Saxon
raee are distinguished by it ; they are pre-emi-
nently a people of common sense.
The fact that grammar — ^formal grammar — is
at war with common sense is shown by the his-
tory of language. It might naturally be sup-
posed that with the advancement of civilization
and the perfection of literary skill, grammar
would become more elaborate, if not more com-
plicated ; that as life became more complex and
society more polished, language, the chief
meaai of Intellectual development and social
progress, would, with equal steps, become more
eomplex and elaborated. The contrary is the
taat. The further we go back in the history of
tha world, the more complex we And language,
the more minutely varied and numerous are the
forms of words, the more elaborate the con-
■tmetion of the sentence. The grammar of the
oldest written language known — the Sanscrit —
la of all the most complicated, and the rivals of
Sanscrit In this respect are the languages of
some utterly barbarous neoples. The supply of
grammar before the time of the Tower of Babel
must have been something quite inconceivable
at the present day. As the world has advanced
It haa laid aside gradually the un-
essential In language ; It has dropped
forma of words which expressed minute shades
of meaning as to time and other relations, and
ha* accomplished the ends for which those
forma were made by simpler methods, the
change always being destructive of formal
grammar. All languages, living or dead, show
in th«ir history the progress of this change ;
bttt it appears most in the Anglo-Saxon or Eng-
lish language, in which formal grammar might
be said to have entirely disappeared, but for a
vary small number of " survivals," which are to
be found In a few forms of pronouns and verbs.
In thja the distinguishing common sense of the
l!B(Ilah race is eminently apparent. It is not
Bartaln that this deformalizing of the English
language has yet reached Its end, (for example,
the distinction between who and tchom seems to
be disappearing, and I believe will disappear ;)
and the retention of these forms may be due, on
the one hand^ to a common-sense view of their
praotioal usefulness, or, on the other, in pro-
nonna at least, to the immobility of those most
uici«nt of all the elements of language. That
pronouns are and must Inevitably have been
the oldest words in language, those represent-
ing the first ideas present themselves to the
human TniTw^ — ^the me and the not me — and that
tiiey are not tho znare makeshifts which their
gnamnatlcal same implies I think cotild be
Miily ihown. But diat is not to our present
(tapoae.

and speakers of WTigHab, before Hie present
century at l»ast, were at all Instructed in that
by pedagogues much-vaunted " branch " of edu-
cation. Our great poets, philosophers, states-
men, orators— men whose words are the glory
and the priceless heritage of the English race, and
whose use of language we feebly emulate — knew
nothing of English grammar, except that they
spoke in grammar,- 1 for the grammar came.
Is there any use in teaching a method of speak-
ing and writing the English language correctly
that was utterly unknown to Chaucer, Spenser,
Sidney, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson,
Bacon, Fletcher, Milton, Pope, Dryden, Locke,
Addison, Steele, Fielding, Goldsmith, Sterne,
Burke, .Tohnson, and to the English translators
of the Bible ! And what English short of that
of Shakespeare and the English Bible is to be
compared with John Bunyan's — a man ignorant
of not only English grammar but of any gram-
mar at all i I have stopped in the citation of
my examples with the writers of the last cen-
tury merely because, in regard to those of the
present, I am less sure about their school-boy
experience in learning their mother tongue,
and because it was about the beginning of this
century -that the grammar fever broke out.
But that mental malady never raged
much in England, at least in the class
of those who receive the higher education ;
and it is probable at least that Walter Scott,
Byron, Wordsworth, Southey, Macaulay, Car-
lyle, and Thackeray received no speci^instruc-
tion in English grammar. This assertion may
surprise some who know that "grammar-
schools"' have long been known in England
They have existed there f oi; centuries— from the
time of Edward VI. at least There was a gram-
mar-school at Scratford-on-Avon, to "which
Shakespeare probably went ; and he makes Jack
Cade bring it as grievous accusation against the
Lord Say that he has " most traitorously cor-
rupted the youth of the realm in erecting a
grammar-schooL" But these grammar-schools
had nothing to do with English. The grammar
that they taught was the Latin grammar. Then
•'grammar" meant, without more words, Latin
grammar. The people that produced Shake-
speare and Bacon and the translators of the
Bible would as soon have thought of
setting up schools to teach young ducks
to swim as a school to teach English boys the
art of speaking and writing the English lan-
guage correctly. In " The Merry Wives ot
Windsor" Shakespeare makes the clergyman.
Sir Hugh Evans, ask little n'ilUam Page " some
questions in his accidence," at the request of
his mother, who says that his father complains
that he "profits nothing in the world at his
book ;'' and his accidence is Latin, his book
simply hi.^ Latin grammar. The men whom
Jaek Cade tells Lord Say it will be proved to his
face he has about him. and who " usually talk
of a noun and a verb, and such abominable
words as no Christian ear can endure to hear,"
talked only of Latin nouns and verbs. The first
English grammar that I am acquainted with
was written by Ben Jonson, who wrote it, I be-
lieve, after Shakespeare's time, and left it uu-
flnished. After that there were various Eng-
lish grammars written, but they were not for the
use of schools. Knowledge of the construction
of language was obtained in England until a
a very recent period only through the medium
of the Latin and the Greo'i grammars. ' 'America"
has been the great field of labor In English
grammar, and the first great English grammar,
the one by which school-boydomhas been chiefly
oppressed, was ■written by an "American."
Lindley Murray, the Philadelphia Quaker. The
influence of this book and its congeners in our
country upon our language has not been happy.
Our English has suffered from it. We have
produced some writers who u^e the English
language with freedom aud inborn mastery ;
but the mass of our free-auil-independont-piiblic-
school-educated American citizens would. I be-
lieve, have written better and spoken b ;ter,
more naturally, easily, forcibly, idiomatically, if
"English grammars had been unknown.
TBE CREMAIlO.y OF DIL TTIXSLOW.
A telegram from Salt Lake, I'tah, to the Chi-
cago Times gives the following a/*couut of the crema-
tion of the body of Dr. C. F. Winsl;>w. formerly of
Maisaehuiietts. in Salt Lake, on the 3 Ist alt.: " Wlien
Dr. Winslow's remains were placed in the cremation
furnace this afternoon, at 6:20 o'cloctc, the body
weighed 1*2G pounds. He died on the 7th of July,
and til© body had ijeen embalmed, and the heart and
bowels taken oat. Tlie crowd were permitted to
view the face as the body lay in n ulam cofEn. with
'flowers strewn on it. Nearly 1,000 persons passed
around tiie cofiiu rapidly, immediately after which
the door of tlie f amace, which had already reached
a red heat, was opened, and the body quiclcly
poshed in on an iron plAte. the door closed, and the
fireman commenced his work in earnest. The f nmace
was constructed with double lines, so that the flames
came directly in contact with an envelope above
the body, a large corrent of air being admitted The
first appearance, as seen through the mica apertures,
was that of roastlnj, but in 20 minates nealy all the
flesh was consnmed. and tha bones had begun to
crumble. A >^a1^ hoar later very little could be seen
of the form of the body. At 7:-lj Dr. Hamilton
opened the door of the furnace, and bat one or two
pieces of bones could be seen, and they crumbled
under the weight of the ashes. At 8:55 the process
was pronoimced complete and successful bv Drs.
HamUtoa and Smart. The flres were drawn,
and the ashes left to cool a short time
before being removed. Before the body wa.s
E laced in the retort short speeches were made by Dr.
Lamilton and fren. M. M. Bcme and Dr. Smart, Sur-
geon at Camp Douglas. Dr. Hamilton .spoke only of the
good qualities of the deceased, tren. Bone indulgwl
In description, eulogy, and isentiment. and said Mr.
Winslow had set an example tliat would be exten-
sively followed. Dr. Smart gave a history of the
science of cremrition. and referred to the system of
burial as injorious to public health, and said the
practi"** of cremation would be apt to ^crease with
civiliz*iliua and growth of population. Xo prayer
was said uor religious words uttered, which was in
accordance with the Injunctions of the deceased. The
crowd present numbered over 1,000. and there was
even struggling to get a view of the scene and body.
The fames from the furnace were unpleasantly per-
ceptible at a distance fromtiie locality. The affair was
succe-ssfnl. being the shortest time on record. '2 hours
and 3.5 minutes. The weight of the ashes, which
contained a few calcined fragments of boue, was i
pounda 11% ounces."
THE LOSS AT ST. JODX.
The St. John (N. B.) Globe of July 31 thus
estimates the loss by the firo in that city : " The as.
sessed value of the whole city property on the east
side of the harbor is a little over 810,000,000. In
thisvaluation is not included the city buildings, the
Government bnildin-js. the chnrches. and the charit-
able institutions. If we allow for these, say $1.000,.
000, which is a large estimate, tiie total valuation
would be from $11. (WO.OOO to .$11,500,000 as the
total valuation of the real estate. Tliis in-
cludes botii land and buildings. Now this
will enable us to pretty neatly estimate the
total loss which the city sustained by the fire.
The burned district comprises 200 acres of the best
portion of the city, not qnite one-half of the acreage
on the east side of the harbor. The land of course,
is left, and so also is a portion of the foimdation
walls of many buildings. Taking into the account
the assessed "values of the properties, the Govern-
ment buildhigs, and the other buildings enumerated
aiwve not included in the assessed value, it is quite
safe to say that $3,500,000 is a pretty close
estimate "of the actual value of tne de.
Btroyed real estate. If this may be considered
low, it is quite safe to say tliat $-4,000,000 will cover
the acttial loss. Tiiis is maoh lower tuan previous
estimates, but we believe it is as near correct as can
be. The As.sessors made uo their values from the
Ivest possible sources, viz.. sales as they occur In pub.
lie at auction, and the values recorded In mortgages,
transfers, &c., at the Registry office. Although the
amount mav appear small as compared with first
statements, it is very large indeed foi: a place like St.
Jolm. We have no way of making as correct an es-
timate of the personal property. It is quite safe to
calculate it at double the value of the real estate."
A MIRA.OB OP DETROIT RIVER.
The following is from the Rochester (>Iich.)
Era : "On Saturday morning at 6:30 o'clock, while
Oscar Chipman, of this village, and two young men
were engaged in the harvest field on the farm of Har-
rison Weaver, three miles south of this village, their
attention was attracted by a peculiar looking cloud
jast above the horizon in the direccion of Detroit,
which dty ^vas at least 25 miles from their point of
observation. A closer study of the peculiar cioudre-
vealed to their astonished visions beautiful and well,
defined mirage of a portion of Grosse Isle and the
Detroit River, with the lovely surrounding scenery.
The picture thus painted 'on the clouds remained
dear and distinct for at least half an hoar, when it
gradually faded from their view. We have heard of
the mirages of Detroit River scenery being seen oc-
caaionaHy near the city, but do not recollect of ever
before baring heard ox one being seen so far off as

PETER COOPER'S REMEDIES.
♦
Ol^EK LETTER TO PRESIDENT BAYES.
HOW TO BELIEVE THE DISTEESS OP THE
I COUNTRY AND GIVE EVERY MAN ALL HE
I WANTS — GREAT PUBLIC WORKS, SILVER
! A LEGAL TENDER, SCHOOLS OP TECH-
NOLOGY, A PROTECTIVE TARIFF, AND
EEFOEMED CIVIL SERVICE.
Mr. Peter Cooper hss addressed the following
open letter to President Hayes, npon the present
hard times, and the reraediea he proposes wherewith
prosperity and abundance may be restored :
! New- York, August, 1877.
Although I have but lately addressed yon an open
letter on the sad state of the industrial and financial
conditions of our common country, and the causes
thnit have brought it about, yet the events that have
since transpired, while they have given additional
emphasis to that appeal, Justify me in once more ad-
dressing you on the same subject.
Surely the peaceful expostulations and complaints
Of BO many thousands of your fellow-citizens, going
up (from every part of this distressed country, not to
speak of the violence and lawlessness whioh this dis-
tress has occasioned, not only appeal to your human-
ity and patriotism, but call for the most earnest and
instant action on the part of the Government of
which you are the chief Executive. Prom your past
patriotic life and action, and from yonr present wise
and conciliating conduct in the political affairs of this
country, we have every reason to hopo a new and
ptraight path of relief will be found for the manifest
pvUs under which this country is laboring. It is
fsvith this hope, and, at my advanced age, with no
other motive than the welfare of our beloved coun-
try, that I unite with thousands of my fellow-citizeiis
in calling your attention and that of your political
advisers not only to the facts, which are obvious
enough, but to the causes and remedies that ought to
be considered in devising the best means of curing
the present evils. The facts themselves are appalling
|to any patriotic heart.
Mor© than 200,000 men, within the last few weeks,
have Joined the "strikea" on the ^'oricais railroad
lines, the workshops, and the mines of the country,
pn account ot further reduction in their wages, al-
ready reduced to the living point. That some of these
Strikes have been attended with lawless and unjusti-
fiable violence only shows the intensity of the evils
Icomplained of and the despair of the sufEerers. For
four years past, since the " panic of 1873," millions
of men and women, in this hitlierto rich and prosper-
ous country, have been thrown out of employment,
jor, living on precarious and inadequate wages, have
{felt embittered with a lot in which neither economv
toor industry nor a cheerful willingness to work
ihard can bring any alleviation. Is it to be wondered
iat that enforced idleness lias made, tramps of so many
iof our laboring population or induced them to join
the criminal and dangerous classes ? .^
\ During this same period Immlgratioffjinto this
icoautry of the hajniy and industrious of "'ililV'riations,
'who have hitherto built up oxjr country^ has. in a
jgwat measure, stopped, while thousands at [artisans
^and mechanics whom a prosperous country cannot
'spare, are emigrating to otiier countries. Ourmanu-
'factories are, many of them, closed or running at a
floss, or giving starvation prices to their operatives.
;Our merchants are demanalug the cpduction of their
Jrents. discharging many of tfieir employes, and such
■as are in debt are fast Koing into bankruptcy. The
^mining and the railroad interests of the countrj*. on
which the income and employment of so many thou-
sands depend, are fast succumbing to the treueral
Ifatlure in the finances of the country, so tliat their
^stocks have become depreciated or worthless,
■and their employes discharged or mutinous
ion account of reduced wages. Real estate has
[depreciated to less than half of wliat it would have
■brought four years affo ; much of It cannot be sold
[for anv price, and mortgages of one-quarter its value.
|if forecl")sed. swallow up the whole. The thriving
land enterprising farmer of the West, especially.. feels
Itliis rise in the value of money, as compared with
[labor or propfrtv. With the hardy toil of years, he
[has opened and improved his farm, and the compara-
itive small loan, which laid but a lijjht weicbt on the
[ resources of his land in prosperous times and with a
isufficieucyof money, is now threatening to swalloiv
iup the labor of hU life I Even the banks and the
I loaning institutions, not being able to Invest their
Inionev on "good sectiritie*." are embarrassed on
I both sides— the failure of their debtors, that throws
I so many of the securities tm their liands, aud make^
I ■' bonds and mortgages" a " tjlut in tiie market," and
I the difficultv of making anv new loans or investments
I— so that money "goes aWgging" atli-jand 'J per
I cent ! ...
I Bat these moneved men are vervpaticnt with their
I troubles in this respffct. for they know that money
, is appreciating in vnlue all the time! It m.aj- be now
'that loanable capital, on enod security, is gath-
'ered largely in the moneyed centres, aud much I'f
' it comparatively idle ; out tJils is no great
I hardship to those' that own the capital, ir: the pres-
ence of the fact, that money is appreciating in its
' relative value while waiting for active investment.
t Thl« is the secret why money seeks no active in-
I vestment now. but only Kuod sejurity, or idleness.
' The countrv at large, its various industrial enter-
I prises, and its labor are in want of money. I-j there
1 any fact more ob\iou« than this J Nor is it the rich
that want monev. but the poor, as a neces-sary con-
I ditiou for selling' the labor which is their sole pos-
aes-sion. Hence, to the poor man, cheap money is
equivalent to cheap bread.
Ever since 1365 this country has been losing its
monev.
During the last 10 years thon-<«inds of millions of
money have been swjdlowed in (jovemment and rail*
' road bonds, and other securiile-s. and In importations
! which, till lately, have fareiceede*! our esi»ortat ions.
t It is a fact on rtyurd in the books of the L'nitwi
I State's Treasury*, aud by such authorities as Spaul-
dins, in his Uistnry of the Vurrenaj ; Sir. Maynard,
1 Chairman of the Committee ojj Banking and Cur-
rency in Congress and Spinner. jVs«;istant Secretary
; of the Treasury, that thi-i countrj- hml. up to tlie
ye«r 1^65. issued in diEferent forms of currency and
I Treasurv notes, current as money among tlie people,
t $2. 192.395.527 ! This vaat sum had. on thtj Ist of
i November, 1S73, shrunk to $U3I.4tf^,07G. [Siee
Cun<jressi>mal Record. March 31. 1S74.)
[ In the year 18G3 there was in the hands of the
I people, as a currency, $53 per head; in 1375 the
I currencv of all kinds was only a little more than $17
I per heaX
I You mav call this currency a vast debt of the pco-
' pie. as it was incurre*! by the Government to save the
i life of the nation. But it was money— every dolUr
i of it. It was paid by the Government " for value
' received ;" it was used by the people to pai' their
i debts, to measure the value of their property, aud.
\ us voiir present Secretary of the Treasury said in his
i seat in the Senate, " every citizen of tho t-'uited
1 States had conformed hi% business to the legal-tender
I clause."
Tliis currency was also the creature of law, and
■ under the entire control of tlie Government, but held
in trust for the benelit of the people, as are all its
functiomi. Was it either just or humane to allow
$l.lOO.0l>0.00U of tills currency, a larce part
bearing no interest, but paWne labor, and fructifying
every bai?iness enterprise, to be absorbed into bonds
in the space of eight years, bearing a heavy interest,
of which the bondholder bore no share f [See
Spaulding's History of the Currency.] The Govern-
ment seemed to administer this vast currency as if
there were but one iutereel in the narion to be pro-
moted, and that the profit of those who desired to
fund their money with the greatest security, and to
■ make money scar'-e and of high rate of interest I
This is the issue of the hour ; this is the battle of
the people, and for tlie people, in which the
■ present Administration is called upon to
; declare which side it will take. If this
! policy was unjust and ruinous at the first, it is unjust
\ Hnd ruinous now. If it has led ns from prosperity
. into adversity, the only course is to retrace our steps,
i to stop this funding any longer, and rive the people
\ back their money, justly earned, and hardly won by
j the tolls, perils, and sacrifices of the people. But as
i this vast and life^ving currency has now gone irre-
! trievably into bonds, and the bonds have gone largely
[ abroad for importations, that have still further de-
I pressed tiie industry of our people by buying abroad
I what we could and should have manufactured at
i home. I would respectfully suggest the following
I policy for your Aammistration in the present
I emergency and -for the future prosperity of the
t people of this country :
j first — Let the Government give immediate relief
I to unemployed labor, either through definite methods
I of help, given to settlers of imoccupied lands in the
I West, or by great and obvious public improvement-s
I which are seen to be necessary to the prosperity and
i sajfety of the countrj'— such as a North-western and a
\ South-western railroad. Both these methods might
- be used in view of the great distress now of the work-
ing classes. T^ie railroads will invite settlements,
protect the country from Indian wars more costly
than the railroads themselves, and give employment
' and money which will enable the poor man to settle
, the lands. Even State and municipal help might be
. evoked to this end of employing labor by issuing cur-
rency for the bonos of St i*e8 and municipalities that
! could employ labor prollably in any local Improve-
ments.
6*ccon<fit/— Restore the silver coinage as a legal
, tender ; and while it swells the ctirrency, it may be
: made as light as paper, for transportation, by " bills
' of exchange," or by a currency that represents sil-
ver. The demonetization of sUver was a trick of the
enemies of the poor man's currency. The remone-
tization of silver will be a great relief now, in the de-
'. pression of all business, if not the final and best
measore.
Thirdly— ^t us adopt a permanent policy of pbb-
■ lie finance" that shall hereafter control both the vol-
ume and the value of the national currency, in the
interest of the whole people, and not of a class. Let
ns have a national currency fully honored by the
Government, and. not as now. partially demone-
tized—the sole currency and legal tender of the coun-
try, taken for all duties and taxes, and intercon-
vertible with the bonds, at a low but equitable rate
of interest. This will forever tjike the creation of
ctirrency, and Its extinction, out of the hands of
banks and those interested in making it scarce and
high, and put it completely under the control of
. law and the interests of the people.
Fourthly— ^l ns promote and instruct industry all
over the land by founding, under National. State, and
municipij encouragement, industrial schools of every
kind tlmt can advance skill in labor. The rich need
the literary and professional school asd colleges,
and they should have them ; but the poor need the
industrial school of art and science : aud it should be
made the duty of the local governments to provide a
ttnMcfclAa] adncation loT tlie mass of the oeonlA aa thA
beat method of " gnaranteelzig to every Stste a re-
pobliesn f orm of government."
FifVUy — The Government oui do much toward pro-
moting the industry of tMs people, and encouraging
eapitalto enter upon works cf manufacture, by a ju-
dicions tariff upon all importations of which we have
the raw material in abundance and tlie labor ready to
be employed in the production. It is no answer to
this to say, " Buy where you can cheapest." I have
said before, "We cannot, as ft nation, buy anything
cheaply that leaves bur own good raw materials on-
used and our own labpr unemployed."
HsixUdy—ljtt us have a civil service as well organ-
ized and specific as the military or naval service.
Ijet us take the ci^l service oat of mere political
putisanship, and put such appointments npon the
ground of honesty, capacity, and educational fitness,
85 that no man can hold his office and receive Its
emoluments without a faithful discharge of the duties
prescribed by the law. The noble and efficient recog-,
nition that you have alreadv given to this principle,
in divorcing politics from t^e ordinary clerical and
civil service of the country, entitles you to the thanks
of every citizen.
By these methodsl of immediate relief and future
administration, we imay pass safely, I think, the
great criais through [W^hich onr beloved country ia now

"The producing tainse of all prosperity,"? says
Daniel Webster, "ti labor, labor, labor. * [ * . *
The Government was ' made to protect this in-
dustry—to give It both encoursBement and security.
To this very end, with tills precise object in view,
power was given to Congress over the currency, and
over tho money of the country."
Though the influences that are now working
against the rights of labor and the true interests of a
republican government are insidious and concealed
under plausible reasons, yet the danger to our free
Institutions now is no leas than in the Inception of
the rebellion that shook onr Republic to its centre.
It Is only another oligarohy. another enslaving power
that is asserting itself against the interest of the
whole people. There is fast forming in this country
im aristocracy of wealth— the worst form of aris-
tocracy that can curse the prosperity of any country.
For such an aristocracy has no country — " absentee-
Ism," living abroad, while they draw their iucome
from tiie country, is one of its com.mon characteris-
tics. Such an aristocracy Is without soul and without
patriotism. Let us save oar country from tliis. its
most potent, and, as I hope, Its last enemy. Let your
feliow-citizens beseech yon, Mr. President, to con-
sider well what tho crisis of the country demands of
you aud your political ad\*isers. not losing sight of
the fact that there are great wrongs that must be
righted in the administration of the finimces of this
cjuntry for the last 12 years. Old is-sues of North
and South are, in a great measurcj passing away, and
that patriotism and far-sightedness that has so far
guided your Administration, we hope and trust, will
find a way to relieve the present distress of tlie
country. There is no section of our common country
that needs so much the reviving Influence of an
abundant and a sound currency, us the South. The
Southern people have the finest natural resonrc*-8
that our countrj' affords ; every facility for manufac-
ture— the material,, labor, and water-powerindefinite.
Thev need only money, wisely distributed among its
working and enterprising population ; and it was well
said, lately, by one of the Southern statesmen, that
, the " Government had impoverished, discomfited, and
crushed the South more by its financial policy, since
peace was declared, than by Itjs arms during the
whole war of rebellion !"
If the people can look for no relief from the pres-
ent Congress and Administration — if those who now
sway tlie financial interests of the country cannot see
their great opportunity — then new men must be
chosen by the people whom they can trust to make
laws, and ejcecnte measures that "shall secure the
blessings of liberty to themselves and their pos-
terity.'^

TUE LQXDqX FOCRiy-SsyD CLUB.
The London Pall MjU Gazette of July 1 U says :
"The second! meet! of the Pour-in-Haud Club was to
have been held in JHydo Park a fortnight ago, but it
was postponed at the last moment, as some objec-
tions were raised to the assembly of coaches at thoiv
accustomed place, |upon tho ground that they inter-
fered with tho ordinary traflic. The committee of
the club, which, in: addition to the DuVe of Beaufort,
who act^as President, consist* of the Duke of Suth-
erland, Lord Londonderry, Lord Seftou. Lord Mac-
clesfield, Lord Londesborough, Lord Wenlock, and
Lord Aveiand, met to consider what was best to be
done under the circumstances, and after some discus-
sion decided to assemble in Belgrave- square. The
meet was fixed forjG o'clock yestemay afternoon, but
it was not until half an hour afterward that the
IG coaches which turned out on this oc-
casion had got into line. The Duke of
Beaufort's^ coa'^Ii. driven by Lord Arthur Somer-
set, took the lea i, and tlie box-seat was occupied by
the Prince-of WaVs, who. with the Duke of^ Beau-
fort and Lady Westmorland, drove down to the
Crystal Palace. Next in order came the coaches of
Lord Abingdon, Sir Michael Shaw .Stevr.irt. Lord
Helmsley. and Lord Londesboronzh. Mr. Adrian
Hope's and Lord Macduff's browns. Lord Carinsrton's
mixed team of three browns aud a bay, and Mr. F.
VilUers' bays were also much admired, while among
the other coaches which came to the meet were those
of Lord Castlereagh. Lord Tredegar, .ind Lord Mac-
clesfield. The arrangement was that, after making a
circuit of Belgrave-souare for the benefit of specta-
tors, the coaches sluJuld drive to the Crystal Palace,
but not more than half of them went the whole way,
tho threatening appearance of the weather deterring
several of the older members."
CHILDREN OF DRUNKEN PARENTS.
THE SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF
CRCELTY TO CHILDREN INTERFERE FOR
THEIR PROTECTION — THREE OP THEM
SENT TO THE CATHOLIC PROTECTORY.
Information was sent to the office of the So-
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children yes-
terday morning, that three children living at No. 341
East Thirty-first-street were In peril of their lives
from, drunken parents. Edward Chiardl, an officer of
the society, started in quest of the children, and
found one of them, Annie Lynch, 11 years old, in a
neighboring house, she having been driven from
home. Mr. Chiardl then proceeded to the child's
home, and was met on the sidewalk by Mary LjTich,
her mother, who emerged from the house cutting her
finger naUs with a table knife. The woman demanded
his business, and after a few words attempted to stab
him. She then ran into the house and fastened the
door. Mr. Chiardi called an officer, broke open the door,
and arrested the woman after a slight slamiish. He
also took charge of the other two children — ilary
Fitzstmmons, aged 10, and her sister Katy, some two
years younger. In the afternoon the party appeared
before Justice Morgan, in the Pifty-seventn-Street
Police Court. While Mr. Chiardi was stating the
case, ilrs. Lynch.' who sat some distance back, and
who was evidently very drmik. called out several
times for permission to speak to "mister." At
leneth she was called forward and invited to explain.
The burden of her story was that when she saw the
complainant having her child by the hand she '" didn't
know whether he was a gentleman, or a loafer, or a
kidnapper, ora blackguMd. or what he was." and she
proceeded to repeat the forcible langnage in which
she ordered him to release the child. She wa-s not
disposed to step down when the Judge told her to.
and was assisted by an officer. She turned upon bim
with a fearful volley of oaths and struck him a vio-
lent blow with her fi-st. She was then taken
down stairs by the assistance of several officers.
Annie Lynch told the Judge that her father was in
Sing Sing for steaHng a coat, and that her mother
was always drunk aud abusive. The child had once
been in the Catholic Protectory, and wanted to go
there again. The elder of tne Fitzsimmons eirls «aid
her father was on Blackwell's Island. Mrs. Fitz-
simmons appeared and demanded her children, but
the J»dge was not satisfied with her appearance, and
declined to release them until she should prove her-
self a fit person to care for them. Tho children
were committed to the Protectory, and 3Irs. Lynch
was sent to the Island for two months. One of the
officers in court said he had known the woman as an
habitual drunkard for 12 or 14 years.
BXjDDHIST AXD COXFUCTAy REVIVALS.
The Pall Mall Gazette of July 19 says: " The
efforts of Christian missionaries In China have, tl>e
Celestial Empire says, h.'id one very curious and. we
may be sure, unexpected result. They have inspired
native theologians with a similar idea of propagand-
ism. In the South, we are assured, priests have
adopted the same means of spreading the doctrines
of their creeds aa the mi-sslonaries, and proselj'tiring
agencies have been formed, principally amolbg the
Buddhists, numbers of whose clergy seem to have in-
stituted a sort of revival movement. Thev preach at
wayside temples and about the st*&ets, and it is said
that the practice has evien spread to the ranks of Con-
fucianists. Certain it is that a very active Buddhist
mission has been establlslied in Shanghai, and that it
is working \*igorotLsly. Preachlntr is catrie^i on daily
at the Japanese t-emple in the Peking road, and, as
we know, the scope of their operations is being rap-
idly enlarged, while Confucian •5)reachers may be
Boen, though not in Shanghai, standing in open places
and at street comers expounding the doctrines of the
Chung-yung and the Ta-nsioli with all the fervor of a
foreign'missionary. Of course. Buddhism is one of
the missionary religions of the world, while Confu-
cianism is as certainly not ; but the fact as concerns
both is very remaritable, and deserves a passing
word." '
WAXTEB iSE CATS EYE.
The Sacramento (Cal.) Union relates this
story: " A few evenings since a little Sacramento
boy, about five years of age, ran to his mother crying
because the cat had scratched his face and hands
Ticious'ly. His mother, after petting him a little to
m.ake him stdp cryin;?. Inquired whai he had been do-

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
DECISION REGARDING THE OFFICES OF A
WRIT OP MANDA5IUS.
Washington, Aug. 3. — Tho Supreme Court
has rendered the following decisions :
No. 22. (original.)— JPi parte : In the matter of
John R. F{ipi.in and others. — Petition for a writ of
mandamus— Talmadge E. Brown, having a decree in
the Circuit Court of the United States^for the West-
em District of Tennessee, against the City of Mem-
phis, made application on the law side of that conrt
for a mandMnus requiring the city and its Mayor
and General Council to levy and collect a tax for the
paj-ment of the amount due him. In this appli-
cation the name of the person then holding
the office of Mayor was given, and also
the names of the persons who constituted
the General Coancil. An alternative writ was issued,
and the parties named all appeared by the City Attor-
ney and showed cause against the application. March
30. 1875. a final judgment was entered in the cause,
"by which it was ordered and adjudged that a per-
emptorj* writ nf mandamus should issue, command-
ing the City of Memphis and its said General Council
to proceed ea^^h vear for the then ensuing throe
years— 1875.1876. and 1877— to levy a tax. In addi-
tion to all other taxes allowed by law
to be levied. sufficient in amount
to realize $125,000 each year for the
years 1875 and 1S76. and for the year 1377. to
realize a sum sufficient to pay whatever mighjt then
remain unpaid of the said decree. It was further
ordered that the said Clerk of said court, whenever
the said Brown should request the same, should is-sne
each year during the years 1S75. 1876, and 1S77,
respectively, a j^remptorj* writ of mandamus, in .ac-
cordance with sftid judgment, to be sen"ed
on the City of Memphis aud its Mayor, and
General Council, in the manner pre'icri>»ed' by law.
Flippin became Mayor of the city, and the o'ther pe-
tltjoners herein, members of the General Council.
Jan. 15, 1376. and M;.y 24 following, the Clerk of
the court, at the ri-ouest of Brown, issued a pereinp-
tory writ, returnable the fourth Monday in Novem-
ber, directed to the city and to the petitioners bv
name, as Mayor and members of the General Coun
cil, requiring them to levv the adjnd-riHl
tax for the year 1376. ' Nov. 27, 1376.
ilie petitioners moved the court " to set
aside and quash'" this writ, for the reason
in substance, that they were not parties to the judg-
ment upon which it was issued. This motion was
denied, Dec. 14. 1S76, and the court, by proreedin;;
against the petitioners for contempt in fHilingto
obey the writ, is now endeavoring to comjiel them to
perform the duties enjoined by the Judgment upon
the City and M.iyor and General Coun<iI. Pending
these proceedings this application Is made here for a
mandamus requiring the Judge of the Circuit Court
to quash the writ. The writ comphuned of
was one of execution, to carry into effct th-.-
judgment in tho original suit for mandamu*.
"The jurisdiction of the court is not exhanste<l by
the rendition of its judgment, but continues until the
judgment is satistied. (Wn>Tuaji vs. Southard, 10
Wheat.. 23.) " I*rocess subsequent to juilirnient i.^;
as essential to jurisdiction as process airterior to
judgment, else tlie judicial power would be in-
complete and entirely inadequate to the iu:r-
poses for whifh it was conferred by the Con-
stitution." (Rlggs vs. Jolmson County. 6
Wall., 187.) But if tho court ha.'s inrisdiction to
issue process it has necessarily .iurisdiction to decide
as to its appropriate form. Here the proce?*? ha**
been issued, and the conrt, npon motion, has decided
that it was good in form and ought not to be qua.slied.
Of this decision the tw-tUloners complain, and seek to
have it reversed. Tliis we cannot do by mandamu!*.
Under that form of procedure we may compel
an inferior conrt to decide upon a matter
within its jurisdiction and pending before it
for judicial determination, but - we cannot
contnw its decision. Neither can we in that way compel
the inferior court to reverse a decision which it has
made in the exercise of its legitimste jurisdiction.
Tliat Is the office of a writ of error or an appeal, in
cases to which such proceeding applies, but not of a
writ of mandamus. If there Is anj-thing in the case
of McCargo vs. Chapman {20 How., 5.57) to the con-
trary of thi<», it is disapproved. Petition denied.
The Chiei'-Justioe delivered llie opinion.

The above decisions finish np all the biul&ess of every
kind before Justice McAdam to date.
COURT NOTES,
POWEIi OF DISTRICT COVRTS.
In the ca.se of Halpin against Flanagan, where
the plaintiff sought to enjoin Justice Gedney from
opening the default raatle 10 years ago ind trying
the cause. Justice Van Uoesen has denied tho appli-
cation, with costs against the plaintiff. It will be re-
membewd that a writ of prohibition was applied for
from Judge Westbrook to restrain Justice Gedney. and
that also was denied, the Judge indoraingin the papers.
'• Motiott denied, as the doing of the act of Justice Ged-
ney would work nu soch injury as would warrant the
extraordinary writ applied for." A^ain an onier
was applied for by the plaintiff, and again Judge
Westbrook sustained Justice Gedney.
The whole question was whether a District Court
Justice had power after 10 years' default to open a
judgment. The spirit of the rulings of both Judges
Westbrook and % an Hoesen seem to he that the
opening of such default is entirely a discretionary
matter with the court. Upon the affid.tv'ts offered
to Justire Gedney he concluded to open the def;»uit.
and he has thus been sustatned. J. J. Reilly. Esq.,
for the plain ;iff : John Jeroioman. Esq.. for the de-
fendant, aud Hon. J. C. Julius Lajigbein for Justice
Gedney.

order from the court reqtiiring him to do so. The
absence of any attempt to bail Donahue created some

B)r.RTAL OF MRS. SARAH R. GRAY.
The New-Haven t/oHPHaZ and Courier ot Thurs-
day morning says : *• Mr.s. Sarah H. Gray, of Brook-
lyn. N. Y. , who died suddenly last week, at her Sum-
mer lodgings, in Longmeadow, was a daughter of
Hon. John Phillips, of Boston, and a sister of
Wendell Phillips, through whom the ancient family
name has received added distinction. She was first
married to Rev. Francis Jenks, of Boston, who died
bi New- York in 1832. Several years after his death
she was married again to Prof. Alonzo Gray, then of
Andover. afterward founder aud President of a ladies'
seminary in Brookiyn. Since the death of Prof.
Gray, in 1860, she has continaed to reside in that
city, to which she was attached by many ties. Francis,
her eldest son. is a lawyer in B^ookl\^l. Grenville
Tudor, who died a few years sin'.-e. was one of the
most eminent counselors and advocates at the Now-
York Bar. Marj- Ehvell. her eldest daughter, is the
wife of Rev. Dr. R. S. Siorrs. .^Uice. the youngest of
hfr fhildri'U. is the wife of R"v. Dr. Fred'-Tick H.
Colton. The Springfield R^'fuihtican. says : * Chitside
of her family circle, too, the unusual social accom-
plishments of Mrs. Gray, and the engaging grace and
courtesy of her manner, had attracteil to her many
admiring friend-i. and niado her at homo in the most
rellned nnd cultured households. There ivill be
many in Brooklvni and elsewhere to fc^el a sense of
personal loss as the news of Imr sudden death shall
reach them. A slight paralytic stroke in February
last had for a time fettereil and enfeebled her, both
in body and mind. But she hud iji a'good degree re-
covered from this, and was able to come, a fort-
night since, to her Summer quarters at Long-
meadow. On the morning of the day <iu
wliich she died, Monday. Julv 23. she had
walked with her datighter under the elms, along the
?uiet and shaded walks ^-ith which she had beeu long
iiniiliar: but in the afternoon the summons came,
and siio sank peacefully, without pain, into the last
sleep.' The funeral services were held at Long-.
Tjiendow on Wednesilay nfteruoon. and were con-
ducted by Rov. Mr. Hanling, Pastor of the church,
nnd Rev. Mr. Eusiis, of Springfield, formerly of
Nc-w-Haven. Tho dispersion of city households at
this season, with the special hindrances to travel on
that and the preceding days, made the attendance
from abroad s;nallor tuan it would otherwis"? have
been, yet the htmse was filled with affe'-tionate
mourners. Tlie sunny close of the long .Summer day
seemed n time most meet for the burial of one whose
life hnd covered 7S years, atid. in spiteof great griefs,
had been in the main so sheltered and tranquil : and
the face of the deceased la«ly, as she lay in the cas-
ket, was crowned with a placid and queenly beauty
whii'h even the fairest years of her youtli could
scarcely have surj^assed."
2TR. LEACn EXFLAIXS.
Ex-Congressmau James M. Leach, of North
Carolina, ha-; written another letter, explaining that
which ho recently wrote favoring the President's
policy. In this lattr-r epistle he says ; "I tell yon,
Sir. Iliero is an ominous fatality attending violent

the editors and politicians who are now against me,

supiwrt of the AdmiuLst ration when right, and in op-
position when in my judgment it is wrong. Can't a
man do this and still be a grmd Democrat ! I can
and I will. The President, be it said to his honor,
has restored constitutional liberty and local self-
government to two sUter States : and my
distinguished friend, (and I am proud of his
friendship.) the noble Hampton, peacefully
took his seat in the executive chnir. where he. sits
with so much dignitv and justice, redeeming, day by
dav. liis patriotic pledgc-s. Tlie President is also
making heroic and honorable efforts to reform the
comipii<»ns and eitravagance of the civil service
sy-^te!!!, and everybody knows the Southern Demo-
crats must support him. or give aid ti> violent radi-
ira} extremists, whicti they will never do. Am I not
right r And thus I mean to stand, as I think, by and
with the patrioric, peace-loving people of the State,
approving the right, condemning the wrong, denounc-
ing sectional agitators aud restless extremV^ wheth-
er North or Soatb. whether Blaine or Boorbon."

The -VafMrs contains an interestini? abstract
of the address delivered on the Stiilldalen meteorite
by Prof. Nordenskgold, at the anniversary of the
Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. An analysis of
the fragments into which the meteorite burst gave
nickel-iron, olivine, bronrite, magnetic pyrites, and
small portions of phosphide of -nickel -iron, and of the
phosphate and the chloride of iron. Nickel-iron is
not known to be of terrestrial origin, and olivine and*
bronzite are usually found iu those rocks which are
said to be of plutonic origin, and the Professor is in-
clined to believe that the. question is ripe for discus-
sion whether a part of the plutonic rocks did not fall
to the earth after its surface waa occupied by ani-
mals and plants. ^
BIr. William, Carrutbers sees no reason in any-
thing which his opponents have submitted to alter
the opinions he had previously expressed with regard
to_the bearing of fossil plants to the doctrine of evo-
lution. He has reissued the addresses delivered by
him as President of the Geolo^sts' Association, Grerit
Britain, and i-easserts that the whole evidence sap-
plied by fossil plants is opposed to the hj-potbesis of
genetic evolution. There are no forms of plants dis-
covered Intermediate between existing classes or
families. On the contrar>\ highly organized plants
have suddenly and simultaneously appeared at par-
ticular periods durirg the past history of the globo.
The rocks give no hint as to the origin of either ani-
mals or plants ; they simply record tho nature of past
existences. .-
A variety of the telephone, invented by Mr.
Cromwell Varley, has beeu on exhibition in London.
The principal feature of the histraniL'nt is a lai^^o
condenser connected to the secondary of an induc-
tion coil, having tho primary current made intermit-
tent by the use of a tnning-fork. This condenser,
IS by 12 inches, is placetl in front of a <lrumhead >o
chat the sound may be intensitled. The apprinrtus
generally is a modification of the kind used in multi-
ple telegraphy. As it stands at present, it is of rarle
importance compared T^th tho speaking telephone of
Prof. A. Graham Ball, but some of Its fejttures may
be combined with the Bell invention and prola'^a
good results. Mr. Vnrley, however, promises t-- sub-
mit a speaking telephone also in a short time, an-l
perhaps it may give evidence of some more decided
advantages over the inventians made on this side ot
the Atlantic.
Prof. Huxley, in the paper read by him Ikj-
fore the Domestic Economy C'.mgress. held in Bir-
mingham, England, attributed the absence of lic-iny
belief in the value of an acquaintance with the law4
of health and disease, and the couse-iuent absenc* of
foresight and care based on such kuuwle-lge. to a
lurking belief that natural causatlo!! .lot-s n-it upcrnt.o
in the human body as uninterruptedly as elsewhere.
He asserts that the evidence is vast and increasing
*• that birth aud death, health and disease, a-e as much
parts of the ordinary stream of events as the rising
and sotting of the sun or the changes of the m''>on ;
and that the liring body is a mechanism, the pr'»j)ei
working of which we term health; its disturbance,
disease ; and its stoppage, death." The definition*
by analogy given to health, disease, aud death are,
perhaps, the l>e.st that have yet been framed.

ical Society a very important paper wa"? read on tlie

The plain, | unvarnished tale supplied by
our special correspondent now among the
Pennsylvania miners cannot be read with in-
^ififerenee by any just or humane man. We
"speak of " hatd times " when it becomes ne-
cessary to foilego some luxury, to deny our-
selves some fftmiliar pleasure, and to reduce
our general standard of expenditure. We
complain when pinched to keep up appear-
ances, and repine at the hardship which in-
vades our comfort. In and around the
toal fields of an adjoining State, how-
ever, are . tens of thousands of work-
ing men, wjio, with their families,
are on the verge of starvation. A
large proportion are unemployed ; those
1 that ha.'.e work are paid so scantily that
'what t'ney earn barely keeps soul and body
togeittier. The picture of squalor and
wietTchedness, of hunger and nakedness, is
iho«;king enough to touch the hardest heart.
It 5s made more painful by the fact that
some of the companies add to the miseries
oi their people by the enforcement of the
''truck system. TjSere may be reasons for
suspending work la some cases, and for
reducing wages in others ; but the greed
which prompts employers of labor to squeeze
out of it tbe beggarly pittance through the
agency of store-pay admits of no excuse.
It is anr infamy which the law in other
eountrifcs has suppressed.
^Vbat shall be done to mitigate the mis-
eries of the starving mining population in
the district of which Scranton is the centre ?
There, as at Pittsburg and other places, a
vicious fiscal system has brought together
Vast bodies of working people who are now
•thrown helpless upon the world. The coal
companies, great aud small, profited by the
industrial inflation. They bought coal lami-s
at high prices. They opened mines which
for a time yielded them princely revenues.
They divided large profits, added to their
capital, and forced the development of their
properties. - To csirry on their works, they
brought together miners from Europe to an
extent far in excess of the legitimate re-
quirements of trade. They imported them
from "Wales, from the north of England,
from Xreland, tempting them with promise
of high wages and lasting employment Can
it bo pretended that these corporations have
no 'responsibility in the premises ? — that
they may cut down wages to starvation
po int, or suspend work altogether without
ftirther care for thc^ whom they took
'.hither with expectations that have
not been fulfilled f Moral responsibility
there certainly is, but that, unfortunately,
does not admit of practical application. It
U not sufficient to say that the companies
have been working at a loss. In the pecu-
liar crreumstances of the ease, they owe
more to their men than the stem economic
law exacts. Exactly what their obligation
is,, and how it should be fulfilled, are ques-
tions which in view of the suffering depict-
e<J in other columns cannot always remain
oroanswered. The Old World no longer
laces alone the labor problem. It is here,
uid it presses for a solution.
It is seldom safe to believe more than a
small part of the tidings brought from the Far
West with reference to Indians. We except/
of course,, the news that comes direct from
the militsjy. The bulk of the reports, how-
ever, reo,ch us through sinister channels, or
at best sire mere conjecture. Our Chicago
dispatch shows that this remark applies to
the stxjries of Indian incursions, and appre-
hensions of attack, received from Central
Mon^tana. Army oflScers most competent to
judtTje pronounce them improbable, and as-
Bi|rn good reasons for their opinion. Traced
to their source, we might expect to find
t'hem the handiwork of men who profit by
teulitary operations, and are not scrupulous
as to the methods by which these may be
rendered necessary. A few companies of
soldiers would be a godsend to Montana
traders and contractors in more ways than
one, but that ia not a reason why they should
be gratified.
' A correspondent, reporting the result of
Ids observations at the Postal Convention in
Vii^jnia, emphasizes the unity of the South -
em representatives upon, three points: (1)
Increased mail facilities ; (2) subsidies for
three steam-ship lines from Southern ports ;
(3) national aid for the Southern Pacific
fiailxoad. The atatemeat has «otiuaK of the. 1
nature of a discovery. It is simply an ex-
pression of feeling in the aggregate
which has been distinctly indicated
in varieus Southern States. The de-
mand for an enlarged postal service
may or may not be justified. On this head,
the department is the proper judge. Eela-
tively speaking, the South has always been,
in postal matters, the most costly section.
It has yielded less returns in proportion to
the service rendered than any other. There
may be valid economic reasons, therefore,
for withholding any additional expenditm-e
untU called for by increase of population or
industrial development. We accept the
doctrine that the Post OfSoe Department
should be self-sustaining only with certain
important modifications ; but in the present
condition of affairs even the Postmaster-
General may be constrained to answer Nay
to the importunities of places which con-
sider themselves aggrieved.
On the generb.1 question of subsidies the
South cannot hope to be successful. Its
Eepresentativesi injCongress may proceed on
the rule that th^y I should call for a great
deal with the expectation of obtaining some-
thing. But the magnitude of their demands
renders firm resistance on the part of th'o
North absolutely nbcessary. To yield one
subsidy would be to concede a vicious prin-
ciple, and to oplen the door of the Treasury
to claims that would soon make it bankrupt.
We know that the schemes talked of at Old
Point Comfort emblraee but a portion of the
list which the South is prepared to present.
A much betterjcase might be made out for
the Mississippi levees than for the projected
steam-ship linei, but neither have any
chance. Were! tlhe country prosperous,
opposition to &ay grant of money or
loan of credit on account of these enter-
prises would be expedient. In existing
circumstances, pu\ policy that would aid
them at the cost of the nation would be
madness. The Government has in hahd a
task sufficiently arduous. It is intent upon
the re-establiahinejnt of the nation's credit
with the least pofesible inconvenience to
business interests. ] It has no credit to spare
for any project,j and the only aid it can le-
gitimately render is to the people in the
form of reduced taxation. As to the Texas
Pacific Railroad, Jie must indeed be blind
to the signs of the times who imagines that
the country will tolerate the pretensions of
that or any similar corporation. The recent
troubles have intensified the hostility to the
scheme, and as Col. Thomas A. Scott is no
longer a name to conjure by, the last vestige
of apparent sti^en jth is gone. There is a
much greater likelihood of subjecting the
rulers of railroads i;o stem Federal discijpline
than of draining tiie Treasury to help them
out of their difficulties.
EOW TO FitEVENT STRIKES.
It is one of,4he first practical duties of
legislators and miauagers of men to take
men as they are, abd not as they should be.
This recent convulsion of labor, and its
blind blow at eapi :al, is, of course, in many
points of view unreasonable, aud! wherever
it violated law should have been put
down with the strong hand. But masses
of men without much education,! land
struggling hard for a gustenanee,-
are liable to sueli convulsions. Laborers
who receive but a meagre pittance in the
distribution of the profits of production,
while employers si!em to grow rich, will be
always exposed to discontent, and be ready
for strikes and combinations. This has
been the experience of other countries, and
must be that of ours. Indeed, it is not at
all improbable that, as values are in pro-
cess of settlement all over the world after a
period of inflation, this tremor of laboi' will
reach all the industrial countries of Europe,
and produce disastrous strikes and out-
breaks. It may be that a future of much
disturbance among the laboring»classes is
before the world, and that many a volcanic
outburst and social earthquake will preced.e
the final settlement and formation of the
crust which covers such forces, and before
society in this, the industrial period, . is
fairly shaped and molded. In this: couhtry,
however, we meet the great j problem
with far more hope of its settleiaent.
The immense quantity of arable land,
and the consequent possibility of an
equable distribution of wealth, inake
all such questions far less dangerous
here than in any other country. Still even
here large companies and individual em-
ployers having considerable bodies of men
under thepa, must take into consideration
how such outbreak) as we have juSt passed
through can be avtided. They are perilous
and disastrous events, and the whole coun
try would gladly le free from thti ri^k of
them. I
T^e believe that ihere is biit one! mods of
preventing them, and that is' by this simple
and inatural method of giving laborer) an
interest in the prosperity of the coiapaiiy or
of the industrial enterprise in which they
are Engaged. We do not inean necessarily
by co-operation ot by industrial! partner-
ship, though this may be a resu t to
be reached in the progress of th6 future.
But for this much training and prepa-
ration are needful. We mean ttat each
railroad and manufacturing coihpaiy or
its ^oard of mmagers, whenever the
yeai^'s business is prosperous and profit; are
large, should consiler in their division the
laborers and employes as well as the s ock
holders and important officials ; that a cer-
tain proportion of profits should go as bonus
to labor. And this, not because justic 3 de-
mands it, for the owners of the 'property
have a right to do what they will With their
own, but because it Is sound policy 1 o in-
terest the employes and working men in the
success of the company. A gratuity of this
nature, or a percentage on profits, v^ould
have a remarkable effect on the 'laborers,
and could be spared in a prosperous year.
Then when years like the present came, and
the railroads or factories were runiiing at a
loss, the employes would accept a reduction
as a natural and inevitable thing, and would
share cheerfully in the losses as they hid in
the ^ofits of the company. They would
feel themselves part aud parcel of the in-
terest for which they labored.
Now, in these great associations, capital
and labor, employers and employedj are
completely separated Undbr the system
supposed they would be at least partially
united. Our readers, to fully appreciate
the feelings which have produced I this
lamentable outbreak among the railroad
employes,, must put themselves in their
Tiin/iflg^ Hats Ia a hard wutkins. f^i P?^
man who has served- his masters many
years; he has a family, and can hardly
" keep the wolf from the door" with his
wages; he knows that the roadhasWde large
profits, and he sees that these in the form
of dividends, watered stock, and high sala-
ries, have gone into a few hands. In these
profits he has had no share. Suddenly, dur-
ing a bad year, he gets a communication,
signed by the President, who is enjoying
the millions made from these former gains,
that his small wages must be reduced 10
per cent. He cannot see~ how bread is to
come to his fanuly with such pay. Ee has
been too long in the service to easily find
another place. Indeed, it may be that all
places are filled in any occupation which he
could follow. Burning with the sense of in-
justice, and desperate, he is easily influ-
enced by the wild and reckless men who are
always seeking to lead working men astray.
He tries a strike, (which he has a perfect
right to do;) he becomes a imionist, a
Communist, a rioter. The transition is easy
and natural. If he reflects at all, he knows
that the financial Ul-suceess of his road has
hot been due to his neglect or failure. It
has been owing to the foolish ambition of
its President, in building branch roads, or
to the greed of speculators in watering its
fetock, or to similar causes. Had he ever
enjoyed a share in its prosperity, he would
be willing now to accept a portion in its
hiisfortanes. Under such feelings and eon-
petions ail outbreak is inevitable. The
strike will be worth all it has cost, if it will
change all this and tend to put labor in a
more reasonable relation with capital, and
thus avert some of the dangers whiijh have
just showed their front so formidably.
VALIDITY OF CITT ASSESSMEXTS.
Almost unnoticed except by those imme-
iately concerned, the Court of Appeals a
ew weeks ago passed upon a test case in-
olving the validity and finality of city as-
essments upon particular property, and a
eview of the case may not be amiss at the
present time. Many years ago, in 1861,
about the time the making and the location
of Prospect Park in Brooklyn had been de-
cided upon, the largest owner of property
on Third-street in that city joined with
other persons interested to have the street
f ' improved," the argument being that an un-
settled but desirable section would thus be
opened for settlement, that the street could
be made a great thoroughfare leading to the
park, and the proposed improvement would
be a public benefit, &c. In short, the idea
was the " boulevard " one. The cit.v was
iasked to advance the money and take its
chances of repayment by assessments on
the property on the line of the street, and it
was claimed there could be no risk in this,
because the property was ample security,
and the owners could not be expected to ob-
ject to repaying an advance by which their
property had been so greatly appreciated.
So, despite the objections of old-fashioned
people that if every word of this were true
it only showed that the property-owners,
and not the city, should do the work, the
former successfully applied to the Legisla-
ture for their bill and got their " special
commission," selected by themselves, to su-
pervise the matter. Up to that time con-
tractors on local improvements had been
paid in city certificates of indebtedness,
which were payable only on the collection
of the assessments by the city ; this policy
was then abandoned for the one since fol-
lowed there aud in Xew-York. the city issu-
ing its bonds uncomlitionally, and itself
taking all risks of collection.
This special commission was the leader of
many others which followed successively.
Third-street was duly improved ; it became
a; fashionable drive-way to the Park, aud for
a time the prospects of success were fair.
Then other streets became gradually pre-
ferred as Park approaches. Third-street
ceased to attract either travel or population,
and the scheme became an utter failure.
Then, of course, the city began to look about
for repajTueut, and the property-owners,
equally of course, began to say that they
were unable to meet their assessments, and
that they had grave doubts whether the
whole business had not been conducted in
an illegal and irregular manner, but that the
assessment was at least " excessive " they
were perfectly certain. The technical law-
yer appeared aud began splitting hairs with
accustomed nicety, the City Corporation,
fearful to press the matter lest the case
should be lost on technical grounds, letting
the bonds stand and paWng interest thereon.
The uncollected assessments thus remained
for several years a ' ' cloud " on the title to
property on the street, and then a compro-
mise was effected, in 1SC9, the owners
agreeing to repay the advance in twenty an-
nual installiUents, the city having the right
to include each installment in the regular
tax-bil). In 1871 the tax on the property
of one WiLLi.\M Guest was $24S 89, and
the installment was $207 11. Neither be-
ing paid, the property was sold July 1,
1873, but Guest sued to set aside the pur-
chaser's title ; the purchaser declined to ap-
pear in the action, thus, of course, losing his
right to a conveyance, but leaving the city
a test case, which it must push successfully
or else suffer final defeat as to the whole as-
sessment. The plaintiff argued that all the
acts of the Legislature on the subject, from
1860 to 1869, were unconstitutional, and
that the assessment was invalidated by the
various ireegularities committed.
The Eeferee sustained this 'Yiew ; the
General Term of "the Suj)reme Court re-
versed his decision, and the case then went
to the Court of Appeals. Before that, as
before the previous courts, the city urged
the constitutionality and regularity of the
proceedings, claiming that, by the compro-
mise act of 1869, all prior proceedings were
confirmed, and the amount of the assess-
ment virtually relevied by the taxing power
of the State, and that, aside from the ques-
tion of legality, no court had any jurisdic-
tion to entertain questions of this charac-
ter. The Court of Appeals, by/ Chief- Jus-
tice Chuech, decided in favor of the city
on the latter ground, saying that "an ac-
tion in equity will not lie to review the pro-
ceedings of municipal officers, or to correct
irregularities anS errors which may have
been committed; It may be affirmed as a
result of the authorities that there is no
recognized head of equitable jurisdiction
for reviewing directly the proceedings of
subordinate tribunals and officers in laying
out, opening, and improving streets and
avenues, or in laying assessments and taxes
therefor, or to correct errors therein, or
modify or vacate asse^snjieats impose^ To
establish such a jurisdiction would open the
floodgates of preventive litigation without
substantial benefit to interested parties."
Judge Cbitbch concluded by going beyond
the ease to express his opinion on the as-
sessment business as a policy, which he pro-
nounced " unjust, and oppressive, unsound
in principle, and vicious in practice." There
is no more reason, he said, for assessing the
owner of property situated near a street im-
provement, for an incidental advantage,
than for compensating him for an incidental
injury, but the latter has always been de-
nied ; " the right to make a public street
or avenue is based upon a public necessity,
and the public should pay for it." "The
majority are never backward in consenting
to, and even demanding, improvements
which they may enjoy without expense to
themselves, and the inevitable consequence
is to induce improvements in advance of
public necessity, to cause extravagant ex-
penditure,! fraudulent practices, and ruinous
taxation ; the systBnr- operates unequally
and unjustly, and leads to oppression and
confiscation, i It is difficult to discover in it
a single redeeming feature which ought to
pi^blic favor."
The asses^iueiit — about $5,000— on the
plaintiff's pijoi)eity is significant of the
fvlich is $302,000. Expe-
rience has justi fie d this condemnation of the
asseiisment system as thoroughly vicious,
but the two piiies have the bonds to man-
age as best Itl ey can. Brooklyn's assess-
meni; bonds,] ai! yell as we can ascertain

creasedi The lady doted on her
charge, and having a modest inde-
pendence, was enabled to give her many
comforts and s:[i excellent education. The
girl made no T< turn for these favors. She
was! willful, insensible, supremely selfish,

!i,ir
that they besought her to discard the in-
grate. Her benefactress stubbornly refused;
she declared that the ^1 was young and
inconsiderate ; that continued kindness and
affection mn^ nitimately soften and win
her. Grace took every advantage of the
woman's love ; she tyrannized over and
abused' her ; wasted money that could not
be spared, and made constant demands for
more. Finally she reduced her protectress
to such a condition that she would have
wanted the necessaries of life, if her rela-
tives had not helped her. To cap the
climax, she ran off with a drunken vaga-
bond with whom she had been urged to
break, and whom she knew to be despicable
and dishonest, and insisted on returning to
live with him under the land woman's roof.
She was willing to take Grace, but not her
worthless husband. She had been so worn
in body and distressed in mind by her
adopted daughter's, behavior that at this
time she was dangerously ill. While she
lay pale and suffering on her bed, the charm-
ing GbaC£ forced her way into the house,
and burst into such a torrent of imprecation
that she swooned from excitement, and died
the following day.
That man and this woman were of bad
blood, it may be said, inheriting a moral
taint they could not remove. But nearly all
adopted children are unhappy in their an-
cestry; for they are likely to be either
foundlings or orphans, whose parents and
parents' parents have been inharmonious
with nature, and led unwholesome'or vicious
lives. The chief misfortune is that very
little if anything is known of the ante-
cedents of most adopted children — ^not
enough to sei-ve as a guide or admonition in
their training ; they are taken on trust, and
the trust is full of perU. Persons are
pleased with the looks of an infant— even
its looks are no evidence of what its mature
appearance will be — and they rashly take it
to their bosom, never suspecting that it
may prove a serpent to sting their peace to
death. The kind of children that it would
be safest to adopt — if any of them be safe —
are just the kind of children that cannot be
had. The people who leave their offspring
to the care of others, who are capable under
any circumstances of parting with' them,
would be apt to implant such traits as would
deter the wildest baby-worshiper from ac-
cepting the awful responsibility of bringing
them up, were those traits divined or in any
way foreshadowed.
THE TURK'S STRONGEST POINT.
The recent battles in Bulgaria have ex-
emplified once more the peculiar qualities
of both combatants. The strength of both
lies in defense rather than attack, and in
this case, the Russians being the assailants,
their weakest point was matched against
their enemy's strongest. In holding an in-
trenched position, the Turkish linesman has
few equals and no superiors. In the field,
where he is, and feels himselt to be, at the
mercy of incompetent officers, the occasion-
al panics to which he is liable, in common
with all Eastern races, have led many critics
to undervalue the splendid fighting-power
which he really possesses ; but behind a
breastwork, where his stubborn valor is un-
trammeled by any influence from without,
he is emphatically " the right man in the
right place."
It is worthy of remark that both nations
have been almost uniformly victorious as
defenders and unfortunate as assailants.
Russia's defensive victories at Poltava,
Kunersdort', the Trebbia, Heilsberg, Valen-
tina, Smolensk, and her disastrous attacks
at Narva, the Pruth, Zomdorf, St. Gothard,
Xaefels, Austerlitz, Inkerman, Eupatoria,
are familiar to every student of history.
As instances of the Turk's aptitude for de-
fense it is sufficient to mention the twenty
months' siege of Rustehuk in 1811-12,
the defense of the lines of Bassova against
Gen. ACREP, in 1853, the stubborn resist-
ance of Silistria in the same year, costing
S,000 men to the besiegers, the gallant dey
fense of Kars against Gen. Mouravieff,
and the crowning victory of Eupatoria,
which broke the heart of the Emperor
NicnoLAS. On this point it is worth while
to quote the words of an eminent military
critic of the present day, whose long per-
sonal experience of Turkish/troops gives
special weight to his opinion':
" In hulding liis ground, aepust any odds, the
Turkish grenadier is unsurpassed. Were the enemy
to come sweeping down ujK>n him -10,000 strong,
where be stands yonder, a solitary sentinel, he
would fire his piece auumg them as resolutely as if
he had an army at hl^back, and then fall where he
stands, without ywiUinj; an inch. With his implicit
.faith In destiny/and liis noble self-sacrifice in the
cause of GoD^d the Sultan, he is capable of en-
durance aud^ort that might put a Spartan to the
blush — witiiess the wan, famiue-stricken, hoUow-eyed
spectres that manned so stanchiy the walls of be-
leaguered Kars. Take care of the officers, keep the
Pash^' hands from bribes, aud you may trust the
Turkish soldier that no Russian regiment ever
reaches tbe gates of Coustantiuople."
The last clause sounds almost prophetic,
in the face of the efforts now making to
secure the services of the Hungarian Gen-
eral Kl.\pka. It is certainly a poor compli-
ment to the native officers that, with a Ger-
man at the head of the central army, an
Englishman in command of the Black Sea
fleet, two Prussians prominent among the
engineers, an Egyptian taking the lead in
the artillery department, and another Eng-
liAman handling the cavalry, the Porto
shoiUd beg another General officer from
Hungary ; but it must be owned that the
two leading instances of "imported Gen-
erals" recorded in history — Tykt-SITS at
Sparta and Xantiiippus at Carthage — ^were
successful enough to make the experiment
worth repeating.
THE RETARDATION OF TEE MOON.
The most devoted admirer of the sun —
unless he be a bigoted Parsee — must admit
that the conduct of that luminary has fre-
quently been other than could have been de-
sired. He has sometimes se orched us with
a degree of heat of which no delicate and
considerate luminary would have been
guilty; while at other times he has refused
to shine when his presence was particularly
desirable. In addition to his notorious
faults, he is at the present moment the sub-
ject of serious astronomic suspicion. Mr.
Peoctok considers the sun quite capable of
burning up the earth, converting all man-
kind into cinders, and melting Mr. Chaeles
Francis Adams ; while another respectable
astronomer openly asserts that at some fu-
ttireday the sun,- will draw the esurth to his
■hot, fierce arms, by means pf gravitation,
and con.sume her in his fatal embrace. It is
thus clear that we ought not to put unlim-
ited confidence ia the ftoii. and that we
should he prepared for amy indiscretion,
misconduct, or crime on his part
The moon, on the other hand, has never
hitherto deserved anything but trust and
affection. Her phases have frequently
changed, bnt these changes have been so re-
gular in their character and succession that
they furnished no foundation for a charge of
fickleness. Indeed, the placidity and con-
st*noy t>f the moon have been universally
conceded. She has watched the earth" night
after night since the morning stars first sang
together and awoke our sleeping planet to
light and life. Whatever scenes of crime or
violence she may have witnessed, they have
had no power to draw one sign of re-
cognition from her serene, pure face. That
scandaloue story concerning Endymion has
fallen into utter discredit. No one believes
it now, and it is doubtful if it was really be-
lieved at the time. It is true that the moon
has aided and abetted countless lovers,
whether wise or silly ; but no one blames her
for it. In her remote and passionless sphere
she knows love only as the poetry of the uni-
verse, and smiles upon it without a thought
that on our earth it may be tainted with
miasms the very existence of which she
does not suspect. It is no wonder that men
havealwayslovedandtrusted the moon, smd
it is only among degraded tropical savages
that she is suspected of malevolence toward
those who sleep in her presence.
But it is no longer possible to copceal the
fact that the moon has fallen into a habit
fraught with the most disastrous conse-
quences both to herself and the earth. Pos-
sibly she is growing wearj-, for her age is
much greater than that of the earth, and
she was old when this planet was ' yet
swathed in vaporo.us swaddling clothes.
Whatever the cause may be, she has relaxed
the speed with which she once circled around
us, andsheisgraduallymovingmoreandmore
slowly to the discharge of her nightly
duties. This " retardation of the moon," as
cold-blooded scientific persons call it, has
been placed beyond doubt by i careful inves-
tigation, and its rate has been accurately
calculated. In itself considered, it would
not be a matter of very great importance,
but it is well ascertained that just in pro-
portion as the speed of the moon slackens
she draws nearer to the earth. The conse-
quences of this latter conduct are inevitable
and appalling.
For some time to come there will be no
difference in the appearance of the moon
which can be detected by ordinary eyes.
GrraduaUy, however, she will grow appar-
ently larger and brighter, and the day — or
rather the night-j-will come when the moon
in her first quarter will seem as brilliant
as she now is when at the full. The tre-
mendous'stimnlus which this state of things
will exert upon the feline mind can be only
faintly imagined. Our roofs and back
fences will be thronged with nocturnal eats,
and those scenes of violence and fur which
are now characteristic of the period of the
full moon, will begin every evening as soon
as the moon rises. Sleep will be banished
from the face of the earth, 'knd the hui;ian
race will assemble at its back-window.s/ and
spend the night in hurling boot-jaoks and
language at the limitless eats who, with
characteristic self-conceit, will look upon
the increased quantity of moonlight as a di-
rect pandering to their deprived passions.
As for lovers, they wUl multiply to an un-
precedented extent. Not merely the young,
but also the veteran- widowers and the
widows who have faced a score of times
the altar and the ridg, will be seized with a
desire to sit at unholy hours on the piazza,
and to furtively squeeze hands behind the
shadow of pillars and vines. Thus, in its
earlier stages, the approach of the moon
earthwarji' will develop alike on the back
fence and on the front piazza those phases
of the4ender passion which seek expression
either in caterwauling or idiocy.
/Steadily and surely the growing disk of
/the approaching moon will blot out the
stars and monopolize the midnight sky.
The time will then be near at hand when
the moon, yielding to the attractions of the
earth, will rush upon us with a velocity
frightftd to think of. If we have with
reason dreaded a collision with a light and
gaseous comet, how much more reason have
we to dread the blow of the vast and solid
moon ! Kindling into flame as she rushes
through the atmosphere, she will strike the
earth and thereby develop an amount of
heat sufficient to melt a whole continent
into boiling lava. Of course, no planet
could sustain such a shock without flying
into fragments. The earth would doubtless
be broken into small distinct pieces, which
would begin to revolve around one another
and to indulge in other wild astronomic'
orgies, the mere thought of which must
bring a chill to everv orderly Dreast.
This is what we have to expect from the
moon. There is no room for doubt. The
astronomers know the facts and admit that
they can devise no plan for eoimteracting
the moon's fell pm-pose. Sooner or later
that very moon whom we have so long, and
with such apparent good reason, loved and
trusted, will rush unbidden upon us and
hurl us into chaos. We might as well make
up our min^s to it at once, and cease to
lavish our confidence and affection upon a
moon that is sm-e to ruin us in the end.

battle of Jena was fought, and though a witness then
of his country's humiliation, before he was 20 he
took up arms in her defense, ha\ing par-

until the eventful year of 1848, Gem Steinmetz was
employed in various minor military capacities, and
his name did not appear at thefront until 1843. when^
the rtvolution broke out in Berlin. At the ^ad
of a regiment of tbe Guards, Steinmetz fought against
the revolutionists and first gained distinction. In
1861, when the Schleswig-Holstein complications
took place, Steinmetz commanded a regiment in the
Dutohies. Invested with a superior command in
1863, at the head of the Fifth Army Corps in 1S6G.
he was conspicuous in the Prosso-Austrian

The New-Haven Journal of Satqrday says
that a number of the memlwrs of the California Ool-
ouy (.Trganization formed in tliat city, expect to leave
for the land selected for colonization purposes next
month, among them Messrs. Cook, liooth. and Alteu,
and perhaps Mr. Famsworth. of New-Haven ; also
two men from Waterbury and one from Hartford.
Most of the men have families, who vdU gp with
them, and all start together. The one thing now
waited for before going is news that the company
from whom the land is to be purchased ha^-e com-
pleted their arrangements for properly irrigating the
property, an essential point, withont which nothing
can be done, and with which the soil will bear abun-

the New-Haven colonv Is reserved for the colonv to
locate upon, against all eomers,/until the 1st of Jan-

A FRIEND'S STATEMENT OP THEIR
SCHEMES — THET SUPPORT THE DEMOCRA-
CT AND INDORSE THE PRESIDENT,
Ftxnna Corrt^pondenL
Raleiqh, N. C, Thursday, Aug. 2, 1S77.
There were 350 delegates to the Postal
Convention at Old Point Comfort on the 25th
ulu Most of the Southern States were
represented. During the three days I was
there, I talked to representatives from each
State, and ascertained from them that their
people are fully satisfied with President Hayes
and his Administration. There is a general
disposition to sapport the President in
his efforts to restore peace and good
will to the whole country. The
resolution, which was unanimously adopted,
thanking the President for his efforts to restore
peace and quietude to the country, was passed
as a matter of simple justice. Although the
sentiment of the delegates was entirely with
the President, it must not be understood that
any delegate had abated his fealty to the Demo-
cratic Party, or was any less a Democrat be-
cause he supported the Administration. The
present outlook encourages every Democrat in
the opinion that the next President will be
elected by the Democratic Party. While this is
CO, there is no hypocritical cant about the title
of the President to his office, or any disposition
to try and make the action of the Electoral
Commission a question of the nest national
campaign. There can be no doubt that the
Union is now preferred to the Confederate
States, if the Southern people were at liberty to
choose under which Government they would
live. This choice may be selfish to the extent
that the Democratic Party, when it regains
power in the nation, will have the patronage of
38 States to dispense to the faithful, instead of
11 States which made up the Confederacy. In-
asmuch as the South is now solidly Democratic,
th^re is no cause for further ablation and strife ;
therefore, peace and quiet prevail Every dele-
gate with whom I conversed was full of talk
for the South. Politics was a sec-
ondary matter to the effort to obtain
increased mai! facilities, a subsidy for three
steam-ship mail lines between convenieDl
southern ports and Rio Janeiro, Havana, and
Aspinwall respectively, and Government aid to
build the Southern Pacific Railroad. There
was a general expression of the opioiou that the
South should obtain all the aid possible from
the Government, and Southern members of
Congress ^ill be almost, if not quite, unanimous
in favor of aiding the Southern Pacific Rail-
road. There were a nrmiber of representa-
tive Republicans present in the onventiun.
but whether Democrat or Republican, wheth-
er Bourbon or Conser\*ative, they vied with
each other in the attempt to do their utmost for
the South. Every interest was subordinated to
this end. The ^uth is solidly in favor of
every question of Government aid for internal
Improvements in this section. It was thought
that in some way politics would have en-
tered into the proceedings of the con-
vention. Xot so. Every delegate seemed
to understand that nothing must be
said or done which savored of partisan poli-
lics. So strong was this feeling that a resolu-
tion to the effect that the postal service should
be managed, and its officers and acrents em-
ployed and discharged, upon strict bu-^iuess
principles, regardless of any political or per-
soDal consideration, was voted down by ahuust
a unanimous vote, because, as wa- said, au Ad-
ministration that had surrendered power in two
States in deference to the requirements of tht:
Constitution, that had prohibited Federal of-
ficers from intermeddling in politics, that -was
reforming the civil service and redueinff ex-
penses, could be tnwted to carry out the prin<-i-
j-!es as expressed in the resolution without dic-
tation or sugi^stion from the convention.

fo the Editor of the Xnc- York J^mn :
Two years ago I commenced to advocate the
benefits to society, and the savinsrs to tax-payers of
the judicious use of the lash for the punislune: t of
ordinary crimes. My first article a)^>eared in ibo
Brooklyn DaiZyZa^ic. in November. 1S75. I thought
at that time, as I do now, the moment had arrived to
agitate and thoroughly discuss this mode of punish-
ment. The press thought differently, but many of its
members expressed their approval of it. but felt
the time had not arrived to discuss it ; that necessa-
rily it most bo a very unpopular question for the
masses, and that the masses most be consulted be-
fore so radic^ a change could be safely presented to
the popular jnind. On 3d May, 1877. I had the
honor to read a paper before the Brooklyn Philo-
sophical Club ou the " 'Whippins-Post as a Proper
iUode of Punishment for Ordinary Crimes." #
I unhesitatingly advocated the establisiimeut of
whipping-posts In every county In the S^ate. and
especially in Brooklyn and Xew-York. The qaesti-m
at that time received considerable ventilation by the
press, and since then it has been discussed more or less
by newspapers thronghout the United States. I liave
nnmeroos letters in my possession from prominent
gentlemen residing inalmost every State in the Union,
giving their views in favor of it. I was much (grati-
fied last Sunday momig to see you had devoted fuur
columns and a half to its discussion, and that gentle-
men at the head of the most humane institutions
New- York can boast of were strenuous advocates of
its practical resuJts and humanitarian influences.
I do not hesitate to assert that $1,000,000 annu-
ally could be saved to the citizens and tax-payers of
■Kew-York by its judicious use. I do not, permit me
to observe, believe in whipping everybody that comes
along, but only those who riclily deserve it. and after
sentence under the unanimous voice of a metiical
directory. I beg the reader to reflect for a moment
xipon the following propositions :
1. That all laws are made for the benefit of society
and not for revenge, or for the benefit, not the injury,
of the criminaL
2. That all punishments should be of such a nature
. as will afford the greatest possible protection to
aodety and the least injury to the criminal.
3. That the punishment of ordinary crimes
should be so regulated as not to become, as at present
In all large cities, a burden upon society.
4. That all petty crimes, su(i as larceny, sneak-thiev-
Ing. tramping, habitual drunkenness, wife beatinj^,
laziness, and faro pimps — that class of sharks who live
oy enticing countrymen into gambling dens — sensual-
l«*K. hypocrites, and a thou.«iand other meaner offenses
fcrioVn to the law, can be disposed of without mate-
rial injury to the criminal and without cost to the
City by the use of the lash. Br. J. B. Johnson.
Mayor of Alexandria. Va., disposed of 50 cases of
petty larceny by the lash without anv expense to the
city. We gtv© them, he says. 15 or 20 lashes and
tell them to come back for the other 19.
They never come. He says in his last Message to
the Common Council of his city : ' ' The good results
of prompt and impartial enforcement of the laws
regardletts of the prejudices of any one are evident.
as the disturbers of the peace and the violators
of the law oear but a small proportion to the rest of
the communitv who keep the peace and respect the
law. It has always appeared to me to be misguided
sentiment for those who desire the maintenance of
the ordinances that have for their object the preserva-
tion of life and property to evince misplaced Bvmpa-
thy for the violator* of the law when they are punish-
ed, and to makf common cause with them in reproach
of those who Justly and impartially enforce the laws.
I take pleasure in saying that not a single occtirrence
of any consequence of a violation of law has gone un-
reported and unpunished. The Police Department
have not a single prisnner in the * chain gang,' and
but one prisoner in jail for the action of the court."
There was a great deal of opposition to the Mayor's
determination to revive the use of the lash. The ob-
Beqoioaa time-servers, politicians, bigoted sentiment-
alistt, hypocrites, and white-livered religionists.
made a great noise about it, but the Mayor triumphed
and Is now being publicly thanked for his wisdom
mnd wise administration of the laws. The lash should
not be osed indiscriminately, but with great caation
and sound judgment. The remeznbrance of physical
pain Is the only thing that will deter ordinary crlmi*
IuUb from committing crime.

TROUBLES BKOUOHT ABOUT BY A PRETTY
HOUSEKEEPER — PROMINENT FAMILIES IN
THE CEEMUNO VALLEY CONCERNED.
From an OceasSxmal Corrtspondeni.
SOUTHPOBT, Chemung County. N. T., ?
Saturday, Aug. 4, 1877. J
Tfhe De "Waters family is one of the oldest
in tjhe southern tier, and has large possessions
in the Chemung Valley. York De Waters, one
of the youngest of the family, was left a wid-
ower in the Fall of 1875, his wife having been
the daughter of a leading farmer of Southport,
named Chauncey Cleveland. Soon after the
death of his wife De Waters employed a young
woman named ' Emma Nivers to act as his
housekeeper. Miss Nivers was a very pretty
girl, and in spite of the presence on the
farm of an older brother of hers, Benjamin
Nivers, gossip was soon busy with her name and
that of her employer. The farm of a wealthy
citizen, Lewis 6. Smith, is near that of the
father of York De Waters. SmitVs daughter,
Ella, an accomplished and prepossessing young
lady, and York De Waters had beed school chil-
dren together. She was a favorite In the neigh-
borhood, and the parents of De Waters were
anxious that she should become his wife. When
the stories in relation to him and Emma Nivers
became current, the elder De Waters brought
his influence to bear upon his son, and a match
between the latter and Miss Smith was arranged,
and the young people were married in the latter
part of January, 1876. De Waters was then 30
years of age, and his bride 19. Directly after
the wedding Emma Nivers went to live in the
family of a farmer named Schlick, not far from
De Waters' place. The new 3Irs. De Waters was
not long kept in ignorance by her husband that
she was not his choice, but that he had marriedy
her simply to satisfv a wbim of his parents. Ii»
treated her, according to the state me ntslShe
now makes, with utter indifference, which at
times bordered on cruelty. He compelled her to
sleep in a room through which his hired man
had to pass to get to his (quarters, and paid fre-
quent visits to Emma Nivers, who seemed to
monoDolize all his affections. The sufferings of
Mrs. De Waters were concealed by her from her
friends; but that something was wrong at the
De Waters farm was apparent to all. De
Waters' parents used their influence to make
things as they should be between him and his
;wife, who loved him sincerely, and had loved
him li>ng before her marriage. De Waters, how-
ever, while bearing, testimony to his wife's vir-
tues, declared that he would be satisfied with
nothing but a separation from her, as he
did not have any affection for her. and had mar-
ried her to please others. On her birthday, in
March, following the marriage, he offered to
give her $500 in money and one third of- his
propertv if she would agree to a separation, but
she indignantly repulsed the proposal. His rea-
son for wishing a separation was understood to
be a desire to replace his wife with his former
housekeeper. Lp to the loth of June, 1876,
he asserted that he had no cause of complaint
Hffaiust his wife, but that he had no love for her.
Tliis is one fact that leads to the almost general
ronclusion that the events which occurred on the
liOth of June la.st were the re.sult of a conspiracv.
On the evening of the day mentioned, accord-
ing to sworn statements made in the ca.se now
pending in the courts of this County, at Elmira.
Vork De Waters. Benjamin Nivers. and Mrs.
De Waters were in the t-ittinp-room at the
farm-house. De Waters told Nivers that he
was ijoiug over to a fanners named Rhoades,
.some three mile-i away, uu business, and mi^ht
not be back that nit;ht. Nivers swears in
court that st.»on after dark Mrs. De
Waters, who hud been plavlng on the
inetodean. suddenly ceased. Llew out the
light, and made improper a^lvaucts to him.
York Dt; Waters, in his caf)acity as witness in
his own defense in the case, .swears that he hud
■tusi>ected something wrong between Nivers
and his wife for some time, and his alh.-ct'il de-
perture was a ruse to detect them : he wt-at to
the wuods nt-ar by and reni:iin*-'d uutii durk ;
he th*-n crept bark to the huuse and lo<>ko<l
tlirough the sittina-rooni window ; his wife
was then ^playing oa the mtliideitn.
but soon extniguishod the liirlit; shortly
afterward lie heard her and Nivers g'» up
stairs sin-^iUiC and hunrhinjf to her ruoiu. Ti>
j;i-t witiii^'fjst-s lo his wife's crime wius liis next
purjfose. Hh did nut j;o to the iir-Hrcst neigh-
liiirs. but st;!e<_Mfd his first father-in-law,
Chauncey Clevelund. and the employer of Kmma
Xivers. fanner Srltlick. With these men he re-
turned hciiie. Ketnoving their bt»ots at the
threshold of the house they entered the «-t*liar
by au outside door and crept up to Mr. De
\Valters' r'Hitii. A lantern they carried was
nirtied on and Mrs. De Walters was dis-
covered aslop in bo<l. and bv her sidv
was Benjamin Niver:". also asleep. 1 he luissband
v.as not iu^ljiriiaiit. and did not atteinpr to nm-
lest in anv way tJie man he charged with de-
t)!iuchinj< Iii-** wife. H*^ aske»i his wife calmly
if thai WAS her coTi'luct during his absence, but
said nothintr to Nivers, who quickly arose and
walked into the kitchen. The wife was the only
one who exhibited any feeliutr, aud indignantly
dciuanded to know what the meaning of the
startling display was. Herhusbaud then tuld her
he liad retutTied for the purpose of findiuK her
just as he had. He onlered Xivers to take
a horse and w;t!4"')n and drive his wife to her
f.ither'^-. Nivers swears that he did so, aud that
on the way Mrs. De Waters endeavored to ar-
range auotlier nicetin;: betw*en them, and
ki'isi.d liini g<XKlbye at her father's door. The
t'jslimony of the v^uerable father of Mrs. Dc
Walters is that his daughter was in convulsions
when she was brought home, and that she re-
m:ui;ed unconscious for several hours." De
Waters next day went to Elmira, and orderwl
his counsel to begin proceedings for a divorce
from liiswife on the ground of adulterv. Pending
prooeediusrs in the t^ase, both De \Vaters and
Henjaniin Xivers were arrested on a charge of
conspiracy aw^itinst the fotTiier's wife, and they
wf-re indicted at the foUowingterm of court.
The case has been on trial in Elmira for two
w^^eUs, and u decision is hourly expected. The
aliove facts are taken from testimony in the
case. The endenre to sustain the charge of
conspiracy is mainly as foliowa :
Nathan Wood, a neighbor of De Waters,
swears that De Waters and Nivers had a con-
sultation after the affair of the 'JOth of June,
at which divers was told that he ha«l better go
away for a while, as people might think it was
a " put up job." Nivers Went to Wells, Penn.
There he went to work for a man named Knapp.
He formed the acciuaintauce of a young man
nami^d Beach Fuller, who swears that Nivors
confessed to him that De Waters wanted to marry
the latter's sister, Emma, and was determined
to get rid of big wife in some way. He had
made an agreement with Nivers to pay him $50
if he would arrange to make it appear before
witnesses that he was criminally intimate with
Mrsi Do Waters. The plan was agreed upon that
they bad carried out as ralated. De Waters told
Nivers afterward that he had better go to Penn-
sylvania until the excitement died away. The
testimony of Mrs. De Waters would not be
received by the court, but her statement is
substantially as follows : She was not
well on the night her husband said
he was going to Rhoades. In tho pan-
try off the kitchen there was a bottle of
medicine which she was using. Nivers went to
get it for her. Being absent an unusual length
of time she supposed he was having difficulty -fn
findng it, and she went out into the pantry,
Nivers had the bottle in bis band, aud was re-
placing the cork, which he had taken out. She
took the medicine, and, returning to the sitting-
room, swallowed a dose of it. Not long afterward
she became stupid and sleepy. From that time
she remembered nothing until her husband
awoke her, with the strange men in her room,
and she was charged with being found in bed
with the hired man. She declares that Nivers
placed some powerful drug in her medicine
while he was In the pantry. While she was un-
der its influence he carried her to bed, and lay
down by her side. Other circumstances that
the prosecution deem important as showing that
scene of the 20th of June was anticipated
and had been prepared for by De Waters
are that his watch . dog was removed
from the premises that day, and that the outside
cellar-door was never known to be unfastened at
night before that time. The case is near
its temiination, and is creating great inter-
est, the decision being anxiously awaited. It is
being presided over by Judge Spaulding. The
pi-osecution is conducted by District Attorney
S. S. taylc^r and Hon. H. Boardman Smith.
The interests of the defendants are in charge of
R. Stevens and John Mtirdock, Esqs. The
aympathv of the commumty is entirely with
Mrs. De Waters.

The Clinton Courier has this : **A short time

AXOTHEH RAl\.UOAD COLLISION.
ax exqine ruxs in^o a passen'oer car on
go'ther's coney island railroad —
narrow' escap: or those ox board
THE cars — ^EVl )ENT CARELESSNESS ON
THE PART OP THE OFFICIAL.*:.
A collision for whilch there was no excuse,
and whii-h narrowly esr a|>ed bt-ing disastrou.s \n life,
occurred Itunt evening oii the Locust Grove section of
the Grren-Wood, Bath, md Coney Island liailroad.
A triiin of three cai-s, ovitrtrrowded with men, women,
aud children, left Cone:- Island at 10 minutes before
7 o'clock, for Locust Sirrove, to connect with the
Rtcamboat Minnie E. Child, which waa to
take the , excursion Ists back to New-York. As
it was behind time, and the steam-boat had already
been delayed "0 minutes — Its proper time to start
bointf fi:30 odock-— the train was ruu at a high rate
of speed. Afti:r a few minutes, when the train was
abous a mile from Locust Grove, the passengers
were startled by two shrill shrieks of
tho locomotive's whistle, and, slmnltnneoualy.
the brakes were put down hard on all the cars. A
moDjent later a tenflblo crash occurred. Most
of the pasBcnser^ In the train were thrown in con-
fused ma.<i4es to the bottom of the cars, aud some of
them were! knocked Into the roadway. Quite a num-
ber, of them were seyorely hurt by striking their
faces against the backs of the seats. As soon as the
crasji ^as over the ouglneer, a brave fellow who had
remained at his post < without flinciiing. cried out :
"Keep your seats; it's all over." His voice was
heard only by those passengers in the foremost car,
so loud were the shrieks and lamentations
of women and children. When the people
left the cars it tlvas ascertained that the
locomotive of the train from Coney Island had run
into the fiiont car of a train of seven cars on its way
from Locust Gfrove to Coney Island. This train was
being bnclked | down, its locomotive being at its
further end. The car into which the engine
ran was i almost demolished, and the cars
following it Were also badly damaged. Luckily,
there were very few passengers on the train bound
to Coney Island. Although they were distributed
thronghout the seven cars, several of them were
seriously hurtJ One man was thrown from his seat
into the roadj and hurt so badly that his life was
despaired of at tho latest account from the scone of
the collision. '
The remote cause of the collision was the fact that
earlv yusterday morning an eu^ne ran off one of the
trades beyond Locust Grove and broke dowTi, so that
it coukl not be removed daring the day. This caused
all the Bubsel)uent trains to be run at irregular
lutervals over a single track. There u In
tMs fact, j however, no apparent excuse
for the occurrence of the collision. That
part of the rojad where the collision occurred is level
and straight, sind an engineer can see a long distance
in advance of [ his engine. The driver of the train
from the . beaCh, it seems, saw the other trwn ap-
proaching, and put down his brakes in time to pre*
vent disaster if the engineer of the other train had
been equally as quiet. He, however, waa in a
locomotive behind seven cars, and neither saw the
down tr^n nor was signaled speedily enough by
brakemeix. The result was. therefore, that this train
dashed into the one laden with people.
The passengers tminjured by the collision were
very violent in their dei^unciations of the railway
ofQcials, and threatened to do bodily harm to anv
that might appear. They were compelled to walk
from the Scene of the dlatwter to the steam-boat. On
tlie wnv back on .the vesael it waa found that very
few of tiem had escaped injury. Most of them
wer« braiked or cut on the face and liead. One in-
fant, canted by its mother, did not move from the
time of tt|e collision until the steamer arrived at her
dock, audit was believed that the little one bad been
fatally hurt, _

thority, that, if those opposing factions will cease

ESaOBEDOS ARREST.
The New-Orleans Times says that in a recent
private letter Gen. Bscobedo complai&s of his arrest
ou the ground that the United States, never having
recognized the Diaz Government, can luurdly obey
the requests of its ofScers, he being the representa-
tive of the onlv Mexican Government at present
recognized at ^Vashlngton. He further feels that
as no overt act was committed in this country, nor
intended, that the arrest was at least arbitral and
out of all precedence, the fact of his being a Mex-
ican citizen crossing into his own cotuitry hardly af-
fording sufficient grounds for his detention.
THE RVPTURE OF THE MARRIAGE TIE.
The London Court Circular of July 21 says ;
" It is well known that her Majesty is rightly severe
concerning the rupture of the marriage tie. It is
reported that a certain American lady, gifted with
beauty and wealth, and married to an American of
standiiig, recently managed to obtain a presentation
to the ^een. not through the Minister, but through
an En^ish lady of rank whose acquaintance her
wealth and lavish entertainments had enabled her to
make. -A few days afterward the lady of rank told
an Intimate friend that the Queen had discovered
that the American lady was divorced and her first
husband was still living, and she rebuked the lady
severely for making the presentation."
INFLVENCINQ PUBLIC OPINION.
The Bangor. {Me.) Whig, which has been
throughout a bitter and uncompromising opponent
of the President's Southern policy, says in its issue of
the 3d inst.: " We have information of a number of
' disgruntled ' politicians, at present out of office, but
with a lively desire to cet in, who have been peram-_
bulatine the State, seeking to influence caucuses in
favor of the * Southern policy.' The Republican op-
ponents of the course which hat already given tl^
South over * solid ' to the White League Democracy,
and which seems to have for its next special object
the disorganization of the Republican Party in the
North, have not deemed it necessary to resort to any
' mlssionarr work ' among the sturdy Repnblieana of
Maine. When Maine surrenders * principle ' to
' policy,' there will be little left to hope for."
THE TELEGRAPH BEATEN.
The Albany Journal of Friday thus alludes to
an annoying delay In the delivery of a telegraphic
message: " In connection with the Montreal elope-
ment case, it may be stated that on Tuesday night
Chief Maloy telegraphed to Mr. Brown, father of the
girl, to come on and take charge of her. Wednesday
passed without any answer to the dispatch being re-
ceived, and on Wednesday evening at 5:30 Mr.
Brown arrived in person. He stated that he had an-
swered the dispat^ at 7 A M. of Wednesdav- in Mon-
treal, itist as he was taking the train. The state-
ment, however, was doubted, as no dispatch had been
received. He returned home with his daughter, and
yesterday afternoon the receipt of a dispatch from
Mr. Brown dated Aug. 1, stating that he was coming
on Immediately to get the girl, proved the correctness
of his assertiozL "
A MASSACHUSETTS 2f OS.
The Springfield (Mas.<s.) Republican, of Friday
says: " H. M. Jones, a Maryland teacher, but former-
ly Pastor of the Baptist Church at Southfield in Sew-
Marlboro. returned to that viUaee a few days ago to
be reconciled to his wife, whose home is there, aud
from Vhom he had been separated since last Decem-
ber. But It seems that the wife's brothers, George C.
and Nelson E. Walter, did not like their brother In-
law, and sent hUn word that he must leave town or
he wonld be compelled to by a mob : and Mon-
day night a dozen or so men and boys, including the
two Walters, surrounded the house where Jones v-as,
and were only restmined from mobbin;r him by two
officers whom the Selectmen had sent to protect him.
It Is said that one cause of the difficulty is that the
estate of the late Mr. Walter has not been Iftrally ad-
m^oistered. and that part of the property rightly be-
longs to Mr. Jones."

THE YOUNG MAN IN THE DUSTER
The Milwaukue Wisconsin has this social in-
cident to tell of : "A young lady of this city recently
made herself the victim of a ridiculous mistake. A
handsome and wealthy gentleman, whose scquaint-
anct* she had just formed, invited her to attend a
dre.ss party in his company. She accept -^d, and ar-
rayed herself for the event with unusunl care. To
her surprise and mi>rtiSeation he appeared. t<> esc')rt
her to the partv. attired In a white linen coat, the
invit«.'d lilra to be seated, and then begged to be ex-
cused for a fi'w nioiueuis. To her mother she staled
the fact that she wovdd bo ashamed to go with him
if he wore ■ that coat.' It was finally decided that
she »:hould ask the gentleman to pass the eveuiaij at
the hou-ie. Ashamed, but determined, she t«>l.t him
that she did not believe that any of the trentlemeu
would wear linen coats at the party, and that they
had better not ^o ; a delightful evuninc could b •
passed at home, &c- The centleman to-jk the matter
good-naturedly and remarked ; ' Why. this is only
my du-ster.' 'The lady recovered from her mortifica-
tion sufficiently to attend tho party."
A CONNECTJCVT YOUTHS SUIT
The Norwich BuUetin of Fri<ln,y snys : "A
rather novel breach df promise suit has just been be-
gun before the Superior Court for Windbara Couuty.
Da-.id L. Rock, a sturdy youui; man of Wanregan,
two years ago began to pay his addresses to a bright.
black-haired, black-eyed girl by the name of Agnes
Oreenea. The swain bought little presents and
paid his sweetheart the most undivided at-
tention ; but Agnes didn't t)iink enoutih of
David to become his tmrtner for life, and
plainly told hliu so. David didn't like the * mitten" a
tit, but watched every opportuulty to enjoy the com-
pany of Agues. About three months ago another
young man. by the name of John La Rose, ai^peared
on the scene, and his attentions to Agnes were nn-ip
rocated. and after a short courtship they were mar-
ried. After the knot was tied all the chances of
David Rock were gone, and he, to sohice his unre-
quited love, now brings a suit for $200 damages
against the girl and her husband. It is probable that
the case wUf be tried at the next term of the court,
and will cause some amusement."
SEVERE AND PROBABLY US'JUST
The Wilmington (Del.) i^tpuftiicon of Friday
says : " Last evenintc, at the close of the temperance
meeting at the Twelfth-street tent. Bev. Father Tay-
lor was called upon to pronounce the benediction.
Coming forward, aud while the audience was stand-
ing, he said he had been informed that when the
Legislature visited the publio schools of Wilmington
last Winter, they all got drunk, and about all they
did during the session was to legislate for owls,
hawks, and mttakrats. He hoped they might have
hawks for breakfast, owls for dinner, and muskrats
for supper, and tnen he pronounced the benediction.
Father Taylor's stifferings through the influence of
intemperance. It was conceded, gave liim this liberty
of speech, though we think it rather severe, and per-
haps not strictly correct. Tlie reverend gentleman
most have forgotten that State Senator Sharpley was
along yirith. the party visiting tho schools, and nlso
that be addressed the tent meeting a few evenings
ago, in which address he declared that he had always
been a temperance man."
BANK SUSPENSION IN COLORADO.
The Denver (CoL) JVews of July 31 says:
"laformatlon was received In this city yesterday,
morning, that the First National Bank of George-
town had closed Its doors. The announcement
created no special excltemeot In financial circles, as
the event had been partially expected some time.
The aauie seems to have been the case at George-
town, where, according to afternoon telegrams, the
suspension had not disordered busiuessi or caused
any undue popular commotion. According to the
statement of the bank, made at the close of business
on the 2'2d of Jtme last its capital was $75,000, and
surplus $25,000. Its individual deposits were ^9.-
245 62; demand certificates »9.9-43 73, time cer-
tificates $44,612, making a total deposit account of
9103.801 35. Ita loans amounted to $192,530 24.
and its overdrafts were $14,675 93. The suspen-
sion of the bank is probablv due directly to the per-
sonal embarrassment of its President, Mr. W. W.
Ctishman, the founder and prindpal stockholder of
the concern. Mr. Cushm&n is a gentleman whose
personal integrity and business qualifications have
never been called in qoeation. Georgetown owes
more to bim than any other of her citizens, and it is
probabW to his liberal eutorprise as a cltlzea that
his fallnxe as a banker must be attributed. Un*
fortunate investments in ndnes and various local
enterprises and improvements have carried down the
bank and banker."^
EASTERN HORSES FOR ENGLAND.
The Portland (Me.) Argus aaya: "The
British public have at last discovered the 8iq»erior
quality of otir Northern horses as roadsters. Their
size, good spee^ fine carriage, great power of endur-
ance on the road, &c., are now understood, and the
beginniuK of a large trade in the export of horses to
E"nglaud has taken place this year. In the Montreal
Gazette wc see the statistics of exports fram Qiiebec
this year with tho Arless patent liitimrs from May 7
to Jtily 26. 1S9 horses by the freight steamers of
Canada. Probably nearly as manv more have gone
by the Allan lAne with other fittings, said to be
cheaper and better than the Arless. The horses ex-
?3rted have been principally from Montreal and
oronto. Among them, however, we see tte names
of Geoi^ A, Clark & Son. of this city, for five
horses. Our best breeds of Maine and New-England
horses are tlie best of roadsters, and just the thing to
suit John Bull's taste. It Is hoped that our horse
raisers and dealers will take early hold of this new
opening market before speculators get into it, and
make a regular business of It to their own advantage."
AN UNEXPECTED MEETING.
How old acquaintances must sometimes unex-
pectedly turn up in unlooked-for places is thus illus-
trated by the Springfield (Mass.) ^epu^Iican: "Here is
ez-ArmorerM. D. Lawrence, who inspected proved bar-
rels at the water-shops from 1860 to 1866, tending
door for the educated pig on Hillman-street. Law-
rence's experience, as he tells it, would make a eood
plot for a sensational drama or a novel by Capt. ilar-
ryattu A disagreement between the Faculty at Am-
heist College and himself while a student resulted in
hisgoinffto Sonth Africa before the mast, where he
thoroughly learned the training of animals. Tfred of
this life, he returned to America, graduating credita-
bly from Columbia College in iS-tO. and subsequently
graduated at the Pittsfield Medical College. Between
1S60 and 1866 tho water-shpps were in their prime.
3.000 men finding work thpre and on the Hill, and
Inspector Lawrence turned out sometimes l,20O gun-
barrels per day. He afterward traveled for a Boston
firm until it became insolvent, when he drifted to the
Pacific coast and fell in with a showman, who ad-
vised him to train a promising pic and travel. The
showman got his lions and Jjawrence his pig, and
they claim to be making money."
A GOOD JOKE ON "THE LANCET."
The London Court Circular say.s : *" We have
all heard the saying, ' Physician, heal thyself;' but
the following aopHcation of it is, I think, unique : A
correspondent asks why city offices should be at-
tacked for their in.*;anitary condition, while others
under the control of • sanitur%- authorities,' so called
are no better. He says, ' I tad occasion the other
day to visit the offices of one of your medical cotem-
poraries, the Lancet, and I am bound to
say that I never breathed a closer or
more unhealthy atmosphere. It was entirely
unventilated. except by an aperture which led into
the shaft traversed by* the lift, and this, »s far as I
could ascertain, received only the ground air. which
in a neighborhood sucli as the Strand Is not likely to
be of the purest. I remarked to one of the persons
occupj*ing the office that the atmosphere seemed to
be oppressive and unhealthy, to whicti he grimly and
dolefully assented, stating that the same observation
had frequently been made by others.' AT^dthisls
the pajwr which tells ns that no one ought to meddle
with sanitary matter bat medical men, who alone un-
derstand the subject. It certainly is a good joke."
TABBTS CUIilOSITY SATISFIED.
The Virginia CSav.) Enterprise tells this af-
fecting stor>- : " Charles Kaiser, who has the only
hivt of bees in totvu, says that when he first got his
swarm his old cat's curiosity v.as much excited in re-
gard to the doings of the little insects, the like of
which she had u*:Vcr bcfoi-e seen. At first she
watched their comings and ;;<»ings at a distance. She
then Hattened herst^lf upua the :fr«>und and crept
alone toward the hive, with tail horizontal and quiv-
ering. It was clearly evident that she thought the
bees some new kind of game. Finally she took up a
position at the entrance to the hive, and when a bee
came in or started out. made a dab at it with her
paws. This went on for a time without attracting
the special nttcntioTi of the intiabitante of the liive.
Pi-esi-ntly, however, 'old Tabby' struck and crushed
a bee on the ed^e «»f tlio o[H*ning to the liive. The
smell of the crusht^d bee alarms d aud enraged the
whole sw.-irm. Bees by the score poureii forth and
darted lutu tlie fur of the astonished cat. Tabby
rnllt^d linrself in t]!-.' irrass. spitting, sputtering, bitt-
ing, clawini:. and saualiing as cat never sijualled be-
fore. .She ajjpeared a mer-^ ball of fur and bees as
she rolled and tumbled about. She was at length
himl«;d ftway from the hive with a ganleii rake, at the
co.'^t of Several stvere stings to bcr rescaer. Even
after she hud been twkeu to a distant part of the
grouuii*; the bees stuck in Tabby's fur. and about
on<-*' in two minutes she would utter an unearthly
■ ywr and hounce a full yard in the air. On coming
down siie Would try to scmt^-li an ear, when a sting on
tiie bai;k wouid caiuse lier to turn a su'-'-ession of b:u:k
soiner-Jiu'.ts and ;iive Vent to a ruuniiii: fin* of squalls.
Like th'* p.irrot that wus left alone witii the monkey,
old 'j^abby had a drca<U'ul time. Two or three da>-s
ftfterTliis ridveuture Tabby wits caught by her owner,
who took her bv the neck find threw her down near
IJK- b're-hive. >^o sooner did- she st like the groand
th.Hn she ir-ive a fearful ^q«all. and at a suigle bound
r(*»<-lied th" top of u fence full six feet in height.
Tliere she t-iung for « moment, with tail as biji as a
rolling-pin, whtu witli another bound and squall she
was out of siiht and did not agaiu put in an appear-
ance for over a week."

Tbo immutable laws of strategy determined
* tbat the lato of the Centennial Year shoold hang on
the conrse of the Hudson Eiver. Had Howe
usecnded and had Bnrgoj-no descended it in time,
jndginfi trom a human stand-point, the 13 Colonies
would no\r occupy the same relation to the mother
ccnintry as the Dominion of Canada or Australia.
The hattlea which decided that America should he
free were fought on the very banks o£ the Hudson,
or in the valley of its principal affluent, the Mo-
hawk, and amid the confiuenta of one of its im-
portant branches, the Hoosio. The Empire State
baa, under every consideration, deserved this im-
perial title. In war it was the Flanders of America.
To the French and English it was what Slcity was to
the Romans and Cfirthagimans — the«ock-pit, the
training-ground. It was the gladlSfnbil arena
5f fotir great races, colonizers of the . 'Sevr
World— three eivili::od, Dutch, English. _ and French,
and one, the noblest of the savage aborigines, the
Iroquois or *'Sis:yat!ons." "When George m. was
anointed King of Great Britain the most valuable
brilliant became detached and fell from his .diadem.
It was deemed an evil omen, and so, indeed, it
proved. His coronation took place in 17C0, and
hi 1777 the 13 Colonies were lost to Great
Britain. Xo wonder Creasy considered the condict
of Saratoga— althouifh the writer would substitute
Oriskany, apparently a side issue — as one of the
fifteen decisive battles of the world. It demon-
strated what the citizen soldier could do when
brought to bay in defense of hearth and home. Xo
regular soldiery on the face of this earth ever fotisht
_ with more determination than Harkhelmer's Hol-
laudo-Germaus at Oriskany. It was a modem real.
Dot transcendental, self-sacrifice, like that of Ther-
uiopyhu; not by brutal Spartans, but by honest
yeomen- patriolio fathers of families. "What is
more, their opponents were not effeminate Persians,
but men of the same kindred and ki-luey, directing
and co-operating with a conquered race — the Boniana
of the Redskins. No battle won by Rome is more
creditable to the Republican Roman than Oriskany
to the New- Yorkers — children of the soil.
^Vhoover has read the thrilling and .fascinating
pagea of Moratilay should, or rather must, if he has
any soul within him, remember bis chapter XII.,
treating of the epoch of the sie^e of Loudonderrj-.
Subordinatetothw, but no less glorious, was the action
of the Enniskillenors, whose superlative achievement
waslhevictoryof Xe^vtou-Batler, won. likoOriskany,
by country land-owners and yeomen — fighting, notfor
pay. but for their lands, their children, and their
Uod. Their ranks were drawn up imder arms, and
thf-ir Geueral, with a perfect compreheusion of tho
i::cn he coianiauded, and of their minds, set a most
uiimilitary example not otherwise justifiable. He
put to the vote the question, "Advance or retreat 7"
Ta6 answer was a universal shout of "Advance,"
aiid the result a victor)* which was a rout of the ene-
my, "horso, foot, aud dra:;:oou3."^ If not in its im-
mediate, in its ultimate, eSfects Oriskany was to the
Iiur;i<>yae campaign what JTewton-Butler was to the
C.1USQ of William, III, and human progress in Ire-
land.
FAULTLESS PLAN'S BUT XrNTOWARD RESrLTS.
It is not diSicuit to demonstrate all this. It is a very
mrioas fuct that some of the grandest plans of va.st
?ninpru:rr>-s have ori;iinated -with a Monarcliv or its
Ministry, which have almost as often failed throu;:h
its poverty lu great comniaudurs lit to carry them out.
The Saxon is the best soldier who" evf-rgra.'^pcd a
weapon, but our race in its broad sign iiic alio n is not
prolific of yruat captains. It is cuming ux> in latter
years, throuifh tho i;truiug of its prc-emluoutly prac-
ti'.'al mhid to tho i»uri>oscs of war, for wliich, unlike
tho Celt, it has no instinctive partiality. The plan of
ritt, 'in 175'J, for the conquest of Canada, was
worthy of its gmnJ origin. It succeeded
bocjiuse Providence fumUhed to the great Minister
ill James Wolfe, an instrument appropriate to tho
grand tiesi^. Thd plan of 1777 for tho subjugation
of the colonies was etjually worthy of admiration.
but, unfonunately for Eii^'laa«I, "Wolfe had perished
In the coGsummMi'jn of his mi;;hty task. Wolfe,
tho perfect ideal of a soldier and a General, alive
with enthusiasm, filled wltU zeal, endowed mth every
qnaiity of a leader, had set an esiimplc which neither
a Howe, nor a CUatou. nor a Burgoyne, through
th'?ix very m^^ntal and physical conformations, could
eitiicr euiulate or imitate.
Many such x*la:i^. m gJ^ntic and as complicated,
have b..*en coacelvfd, faultless to appearance ; but,
like all such combluatioiis of human macliinery, re-
quiring gimultanclty, aud that Is the hardest, most
dXiioult result to achieve in this mortal world on a
grand scile :t,ad over v:wt distances. There is some-
thing almo:st touchlag in tlii; piinful uucortainty ex-
pressed in tliO order of Prince Leopold, even amid tho
mathematical exactitude of Frederickian diselpllno :
" Bo sternly, be correct, especially be silent ; and, so
far as nature wUl permit, bo simultaneous." The
Prussian- columns emulated the esactest mechanism
and Glogau was taken. 'What wa-* possible under
Fre^Ieric Is rarely possible uuder a coustitutioual
Govemmont. wiiere the fall of the axe must bo pre-
ceded by the action of law. To insure military
obedience nothing must interfere between the /wee*
of authority and crimiuallty, 'eilure, or even remiss-
cess. CUarles V., at Ytiste, coidd not make a dozen
clocks go alike, and too late came to the couclnsion
that if he was not able to insure a-^cord with con-
trivances simply mechanical, in vain was the hope of
m:ikiagm--'n to think alike, to agree, or even to act
together. Xot to go back further than 174.5, the
coalition to nip and crush Frederic tho Great in this
year was admirably contrived, but the nonpareil
iVus-sian broke one nipper in Bohemia ; his General,
the old L>essauer, another three weeks afterward in
Saiony ; and wheu two were smashed the third had
no crushing power. The same sort of plan was full
of promise as to catching Napoleon at the Boresina,
in 1S12. One of the nippers was Tschit-
chaagoff, who ditl not close in on time,
and thus th>> want of coincidence be-
tween tho three Russian armies permitted them,
simply, OS it were, to look on and see the prey
which they had calculated on catching suffer miser-
ebly, struggle through with difficulty, but still escape.
The same result occurred at Leipsic in 1MV3. At
Waterloo, in lai5, "WelMngton held on, and old Blu-
chercamo down in time aud Xapoleon was crushed.
At Sadowa, in ISGO, the two Prussian Armies
worked in on time and tho Austrian Army and Impe-
rially were humiliated. At Sedan, in 1870, the
aio%-cments of all the Prussian columns were like
perfect! y-adjusted clock-work. They came together,
:h&spcd the French Army in their jaws of steel, and
Napoleon 111., his praatorians and his dyniuty,
were alike and together ground up by these teeth of
" blood and iron." The same was the case throughout
the Prusso-French campaign in 1870-71, and
France — Imperial and Republican— was everywhere
champed to pieces. In 1777 the British military
claw had four talons. The motive power was ap-
plied to oae, Burgoyne, 'In time, but too soon ; to
the second, Howe, too late and eccentrically. The
third, St. Leger, wliich ougat to have been tho
strongest, was the weakest. The fourth, Clinton,
was brotight to bear wheu the first was just break-
ing, when the second had dropped ont, and after the
third was broken. The third talon of the British
;law was thus:broken at Oriskany, which is the sub-
ject of this article.
It Is to be supposed that by this time eve^oue un-
ierstauds that the British campaign of 17/7 was to
have been a combined operation, with Albaity as the
first grand objective. Burgoj-ne was to move south-
ward from Muntrenl np ijake Ch&mplain ; Howe
northwanl from New-Jersey and New-Tork, up the
Hudson Klver ; St. Leger eastward from Ijake On-
tario, down the Mohawk River. Tho latter is the
route by wldch CUutou judiciously observed Bur-
po\Tio s&ould have made his " great push." Simul-
taneously with Bureoynes arrival at Fort Edward,
where he first struck the Hudson River, or within
four tlays after (31st July by the detachment under
tiieut. Bird, and Ifd August by his own forces,) Brig.-
Gen. St. L#eger invested Fort Stanwix. His column,
Bs well as BuiEoyne's army, started from Montreal.
The former had along cireuitous jmimey, whereas the
coarse of the latter was almost direct. Lieutenant-
Colonel, or, ha he is sometimes styled, Colonel,
and as he often signs himself. Brigadier
General — ^the latter perhaps tho peciiliar British
" hnral '* rank— Barry St. Leger ascended the St. La''-v-
rence, crossed Lake Ontario to Oswego, thence pro-
ceeded up the Onondaco Kiver, as it was then called,
brsveiBea lengthwise Oneida "Lake, and then up Wood
Creek to the carryiiig place of about a mile by which

irestintid to the head wsteri of fheMohawlcraiiiiliig
eastward. This was the great ehannel of trafflo. ^ On
the divide, a plateau, stood "old Fort Schuyler,?' ve
Fort Stanwix, on the site of the present City of Rome.
The work invested was constmoted In 1776 by |Col.
Dayton, but the French, with military presdenco.
had originally erected a post on the same spot, when
they were striving for, and to monoiiolize, toe Indian
trade, recognizing' the location as an impdrtautiono
from every p|oint of view. ■
St. Lcger's- force numhered about 1,400 men.! Of
these only 075 wore whites, and 700 were fichtlng
Indian.^. Perhaps he had a greater number of ailult
savages, since nothinc is so unreliable and fluctuating
as such a force. His white troops, proper, con-
sisted first, of a detachment of lOO men Crora
the Eighth or *' King's Regiment" of foot, which for
ye^rs was distributed in forts all along the lakes.
The most distant British post to the north-west,
Michlllmacinac, was garrisoned by this corps ; Major
Arent Schuyler de Pevster, of New- York, afterward
Colonel, B. A-, held this eommand. He was
reamrkalde for his Misc^Xlanici and Records of
yotev'orthy Facts in relation to this region ; sec6nd,
of a detachment of 100 men from tlie Thirty-fotjrth
Regiment ; third, of 342 Hanan Chasseurs, jhnd
fourth, of 13i3 men from Sir John Johnson's ifegi-
ment of Ndw-York loyalists, known as "Jolm-
son's Greens," or " Queen's Lioyal New-Yorkers."
Charles Fenno Hoffman, true patriot and truest New-
Yorker, records that Johnsons <ireen8 and Bntler's
Rangers "toed the mark like real soldiers upon acall
of duty." A*! Sir John was a local Major-General
and British Colonel, and second to St. Leger in g^en-
eral couunand, tho *■ Greens." recruited amongj his
tenants and neighbors in the Mohawk Valley, were
most likely under the more immediate leading of! his
brother-in-law. Major Stephen Watts, of New-'i^ork
City. This yotmg officer, then but 22 years of age,
led the advance from Oswego Falls with 60 picked
marksmen. It is conceded that nothing could liavo
been more adimirable than St. Leger's dispositionsi for
a march through the forests. A drawing of ;|the
original plan was found, is preserved, and has been
published. j
THE STORY AS GEN-ER.VLLT TOLD.
Prom the manner in which the story is generally
told and bedeviled, the small British force Is made
to appear as if ft was a well-appointed positive
army, whereas the garrison , at Fort Stauiwii
equaled, if it did not exceed, the white investing
force by nearly 200 men. Then, wlien Gen. H^rk-
helmer came up with some SOO, (the veraciotis Stod-
man says 1.000.) the Colonists had more whites in
the Held, in this operation, than the British hod
whites and Indians combined. Fort Stanwix was caom-
mandedby Peter Gansevoort, Colonelin the New-ljork
I jne. and under him was Lieut. -Col. ^[arinns Willett.
Both of the.<«o men were excellent officers and soldiers
of experience. Gansevoort being as remarkable j for
judgment and resolution as Willett for boldness pnd
enterprise ; Indeed, two better men could not have

Schuyler or Fort Stanwix. was a suuare fort with fbur
bastions, which had fallen into sad decay. A French
engineer, who had been recently sent by Geu.
Schuyler to superintt^nd its repairs, showed such
incompetency that after a su-ti-ession of great and
greater blunders, Gaiisevoort sent him l»fvck
to head-quarters. . Tliis was In July. Then
tho two Colonels tunied engineers them-Wlies,
and tlie garrison, under their direction, had
only finished tbe work at nlijht, when next mondng
the fort was iiivfstfd — if the term Investment can
be applied to an cuteriirisc which coiild ouly d!»i>«se
of a few liKht pi«?cos. ^S. bombardment has b^en
talked of, which is simply absurd In view of the fact
that the attacking force had but two or three 5-i^ch
" Koyals " — little juoitars like coehoms, nlratost
piayt'hiugs. "Our 'Royals,'" wnito St. i>'ger,
'■ had only tlie power of teizing"' (tea&lns.) (Ixvlii.)
Undoubtedly Fort Stanwix -wns a most importiint
position. This conceded, wliat itos.sessed the British
Government to send such a paltry force .iciiiWst
it when it hnd so n:any troops elsowbere ?
A biittm- — say limr— of the guns of ]tositlpn,
of wliich Biirgoyue had a superfluity nuffl-

settled tiie question speedily. It would have t>4eu
settled almo-it as s]>eedi!y if ^^t. Li'ger had had twico
as many white trtiops. All his iroable came from
his Iudum.s. and in the end they actually competed
Jiim to retreat. "Injuns Is piwn." says the poet.
They never could stand before bravo white men in

who boa-stcd loudest of their courage would be the first)
to run at sight of the enemy. Tlien, worn out withl

regard to many of the details, and St. Leger's report

which, with its stmomadlnga material and personal,
became as perfect a trap as could have been devised.
They reached this slaughter-pit about 0 A. M., having
been delayed on the road, by the contention between
Harkheimer and his subordinates, since 5 A. M. This
Is the only way to reeoncile thte hotrr mentioned in
8t. Leger a report with the results. The ra%-ino,
which has become one of Freedom's notable spots,
nerpentined northward and southward, and Iwwing
to the eastward, had a marshy Iwttom, partially
drained by a little nm. The only means or getting
across the bog and stream was a primitive corduroy
road. Ou either side was a perfect " Slough of
Despond." and the whole constituted a "valley
of the Shadow of Death," because the causeway
and route were bordered by heavy timber and dem-w
underwood- Moreover, tho sides of tho ravine, cov-
ered with trees, rose Rteeplv to forest-clothed upland.
The ambu.ica*le set by Sir John Johnson, Butler, and
Brant consisted of about 80 whites— not more— a few
regulars, Johnton's "Royals" or "Greens," and
Brant's Indians. It Is not likely -that altogether the
ambusli comprised numbers much, if any, superior to
the Ameriramt. *
The ambtwh was strongest where the severest
shock was most likely to ooour, and the toils swept
around so that the causeway was completely evel-
oped. The ambush, in fact, was a circle of which
only a small segment ^vas left open where the road
entered it. It was a perfect "box-trap," only the
Indian impatience to skin the prey induced them to
ftull the string too soon, and thus they Rhut out some,
nstcad of closing in all, tho game. The Americans
marching between the woods ran into the suare set

which the hunters have stationed themselvfts. Intent

of the Americans were entrappe<l. Tho advanced
guard had crowned the elevated wooded plateau
on the western side of the ravine, but the
main body, with the baggage wagons, were down in
the hollow. Then, it is said, Brant gave the signal,
too soon, howe^'e^, for the complete success of the
stratagem, and the circle closed, cutting off retreat,
but at the same time shutting out the rear guard. If
the IndlanR had restrained their ferocity for a few
miautes, not an American might have escaped. As It
was, they commenced to lire before all the colonists
were wjtiiln the trap. Those of the Militia who had
been most vehement in calling Harkheimer a " cow-
ard " were In the rear, aud ran away, let'.vlug their
comrades to the mercy of hidden foes. Col. Vlsscher.
with the rear guard proper, who had not reached the
causeway, although withoxit the circle of Are which
envelojHJii his friends ran disgracefully, without
thinking of assistiiig his brethren. Visseher and his
flyinc coiniianitms were pursued by tho Indians, and
manly minds must hope the rewjrt is true that
they had a harder time of It than tho
brave men who fought it ont. Col. Cox,
one of the most guilty, nnd as'in of Col. Paris, almost
equally so. were killed by tlie flrr.t volley which greet-
ed Harklieimer's column as it entered the ravine. Un-
fortunatelv. the^mmelireslmttered Harkhelmer's knee
and kllteil liis horse. The brave old man, undaunted
by these disasters, ordered his saddle to be taken
from the dead animal and placed at the foot of a large
be<*(h tree, wht>se root or trunk was viaible within a
taw years. ThtMi lighting hia pipe, ho took his seat
on the saddle and continued to direct the niovements
of his tr*»<>ps with a calmness almost bicredlble.

[ April, 1707. a bli'oJy ei)isode occurred, which Ls re-
I lated in his meiui>irs, by the Cold, bigoted, and pltl-
I less Duke of Berwick. ^ He said he never could recall
' the sight without a shudder of horror. In midbattlc,
a battalion of French Protestants, driven ont of
Laucuedoc uuder their fiimoits hero Cavalier, en-
countered a regiment of Rom:iulst French, which had
been among their persecutors at home. Recognizim;
each other, the two corps, without firing, charged
bayonet and engaged iu such an inveterate slaughter
that Marshal Benvick testifies of the aggregate l.otK)
effectives, not over 300 survived. Gordon, whose In-
timate acquuin^uce with the details of revolutionary
ocf urrenees is iwmetimes marvelous. Is the only hU-
toriau who ^ivtj's a correct idea '»f the figlit at Oris-
kany. To us(* a ^-ulgar but most uxjiressivo term,
after the first volley, it was n urUrantlr, bloody " phig-
muss;'' u '• I>oiinyi)rook Fair ' with deadly weaiKuis:
"wherever you S)**- a head, hit it." After llark-
heimer's tlrst fire answering tlmt of the enemy, "the
battle was a scene of confusion beyond anything the
Indians hnd ever witnessed. The ^vliite jH^ople, coii-
filstlng of the Militia and Sir John Johtison's Tory
troops, as his own corps is called, got together in par-
ties of 20 or 30. so that they could not fire, but
pulled and hauled, drew their knives and stabbetl
each other. The Indiana, who consisted of
Shawanese. Delawares. Scnecis. and others,
after a while, couleclured from their own
loss .nnd tho • confusion wiiich prevailed, that
both Sir John's people and Harkheimer e intended
to destroy them. At length Rome of their chiefs told
the young warriors that it was a plot of the white
people to draw them Into a scrupe and cut them off.
aud then the chiefs ordered them to kill all white
people wlmtever. It in thought that nearlv as many
of Sir John Johnson's Tor}- pariv were killed by the
Indians as by the Militia."' The fact U, it was a
seething whirlpool of spite, passion, and vengeance,
and at the sight of such an etfusion of blood poured
forth In response to stabandslash. t nroducing ghastly
effects impossible from bulletR. the fiuUans— like wil5
animals at the sight and scent of blood — were seized

Hleginc, and there were leas than luO Kegul&rs aud Pro-
vincials, whites. B^rP^rtini; the Indians anniust Hark-
heimer. When Col. Willett made his sortie it was di-
rected agaiust that portion of the TlritL=h lines of in-
vestment which had 1x*n Rtripned of Sir John John-
sou's Loyalists, to wayla>- and stop or crush Karkheiiccr.
These, or the wiirvirors of them, were recalled to reoccu-
py their works nnd drive back "WiUett. Had Uiit thia
D'.'en done, not one of the Americans who bad fallen into
the trap would have escaped death or captivity. It wus
this recall that ended the flaht of Oriskany and srave the
(k)loni3ts an opnortunlty of clulmlne it as a repiili+e or a
drawn battle. Without it, and the fact that tho Indiani

wasin very fuct. Perhaps, from (he numijers engaged.
It was one of the bloodiest "^ucoxmters, proportiomuly, la
jhe miUtarj- records of all times.
t There are some curious facts in connection trlth the
battle which h.ave never Iwen noteil or explained ; one of
these the mention of spear-wounds ihmctod by the
American oftlcers. For instance, a Capt. Gardlnier is said
to have mudc a desperate dtfensc with a spear. This
spear mnst have been an esponlon. or spoutoun, a sort of
holf-pikewtiich was as rauch a designation of rank oh au
epaulet or any part of an offic'.r's imiforuL In King
■WUUam'fj time, and for quite a long period afterward.
it was carried !n one shape or another by all regimental
ofBcers, from Colonel do^vn.
Major E. lloyt. wlio published a Military Dictionary. In
Greentteld, Mass., in 1810-11, gives tho following defini-
tion: '■ Ksponton. !■>.. a Rort of half-pike, carried^- Cap-
tains and fuhaltem.s. The Militia law of the Cnited
States requires that the commissioned officers shall sev-
erailv be armed wiih a sword or hanger and espynton."
•■ He trails a half-pike," was equivalent to saying a per-
Bop hold.'* a coniniiswlon.
At this time (1777) Sergeants of foot or Infantry and
artillerj-earriiHl Imlberd*. " a sort of s-pear. the shaft of
which 6* about six feet long, generally made of ash. Its
hf^d is arrae«l with a steel point edged on both side^.
Besides this poiat. which Is in a line with the shaft, there
is u cru»4-piece of iron, flat and turned down at one end,
hut not verj' sha^. so that it iwrrves erpially to cut down
or thrust vnth. This weapon has of late been exclianged
for tho half-pike or esponton.*" Hence the expression
" to get a halberd'' signified to receive a Senreant'a war-
rant, and for a soldier to be " brought to the halberds"
meant that he was to be fiogged. Hoffman, In hi.i novel
of Greystaer, strove to found evciy hicident lu the ro-
mance upon a fact. He spealfs of a detachment of
Mounted Itirtemca as attached to Harklieimer's Brigade,
Bud states that part of these attemoted to act as cavalry
in the very beginiiiiie of the action. althoogU the major-
ity dismountei Cau this t>e correct, or was tlie aatuor

•with tho stronger sentiment of fear.
The intemecinebutchory at Oriskany lasted from
five to SIX hours. It was the m>«it terrible contest
of the war. Scarcely any two statemeuts of the
casualties ngr*»e. It! "is claimed that out of Hark-
heimer s 800. some 200 were killed, outright, '200
more left on the field wounded, and 200 were taken
prisoners. Almost all who got off un.scathed had
not been completelji involved in tho ambuscade. St.
Leger never made any report of his casualties. G»r-
don (II., 531) in his. the best account of the
battle, mentions llK> killed, besides wounded, but
makes no mention of the prisonerB. Ramsay, the
anthortty most frequently quoted by European
writers, agrees with Gordon. Warren says :
•' Few jr Americans! I escaped. It was a butch-
ery." Stedjnan sets down Harklieimer's killed
and woundea at near 400, and states that onlj^' about
on*-third of the Amerienn.<!. less than 300 in num-
ber, escaped. Murray mentions 400 killed (and
wounded f) and half! that number prisoners. Daw-
sou's language is nearly UOO slain, besides the
wounde<l and prisoner*.
Judging frem the refmlts nnd subsequent denend-
ent circumstances, it is very likely that tho statement
of loss which seems to be the most exaggerated is
the most correct. Kapp says there was scarcely a
hooae or a hut in the (Mohawk) valley which was
not plunged In affliction through the death either of
a father, a brother.- or a fton, and spealcs of those who
escaped from the field "as the worn-out and ex-
hausted Germans."' The&e retreat.cd to Port Schuy-
ler (now Vtlca) | the same night, nnd on the
next day (7th) atid day foUowhjg. sought their
respectives homes. For the time being there was no
more fight left In tlie population of thi*; district. St.
Leger. who tells his story too concisely to justify a
chaise of perverting the truth, reports tlms: "In re-
lation to the victory, (it was equally complete as if -the
whole had fallen ; nay, more so, as the 200 who es-
caped only served to spread the panic wider." In a
letter to Btirgoyne, dated 11th Atignst, and quoted
by Losslng, St.'Liftger says : "Above 400 [patriots]
lay dead on the fieldj nmong tho number of whom
were almost all of the principal movers of the rebel-
lion in that [Tryou] county.
"The enemy [Bi-itish] also claimed to have taken
200 prisoners,'" The Indians lost at leant 70 or 80,
among whom were a number of chiefs — enough to
more than t.ike the edge off their desire for further
fighting. They were charged with killing friend and
foe Indiscriminately. During the shower which in-
terrupted the nmin battle which must have been less
vehement around the fort. Col. 'Willett made a glori-
ous sortie, and brought in three times seven wajcon
loads of captured artirdes. Among the trophies, it is
claimed, were live British fiags — found, not cap-
tured (most likely camp-colors or markers) — wliich
were dlsplaved this night on the ramparts of the
fort, beneath the victorioTis "Stars aud Stripes:'
the first Stars and .Stripes which were ever unfurled
under ;the Resolution of Congress passed i4th of
Juno preceding.
Thislflnir. bom 14th. June. 1777. was first hoisted
at Fort Stanwix or Schuyler, 0th August. 1777. and
was first displayed at the head of an army to receive
the surrender u'f Burgo>-ue 17th October, iu the same
year.
The historical flag of Fort Stanwix, according to
Col. Marhms Willett, second in coniinand of the ear-
rison, was a curious jdeee of needlework. "The
white .^tripes were cut out of ammunition shirts, the
bine (field) out of the i catulot clonk taken by Col.
Willett, Sunday, 2;id Mareb, 1777, from the enemy
(British) at Peekskill, while the red stripes were
made of different pieces of stuff procured from one
and unpther of tlie gnrrison.''
Such^was the Batjtle <Tf Oriskany, whifh. judged
according to the acknowledged nUo of Haltam. and
Its ftpi(]ir-allon by Cri'itsy, was the "decisive battle"
of the ]ie volution. It \ras decisive because it settled
tlie res lit of the Hui^oyne campaign. Had St. T^ger
taken I'ort Stanwix. he mus* have gone to Albanv.

STBONQ TERMS — THE MEN WHO PRAC-
TICE IT CALLED "sneaking SCOUN-
DRELS"— ^RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED LOOK-
ING TO ITS SUPPRESSION.
From iKt London Standard, Juiy 23.
A public zneetiiig, convened by the Church
Assooiatlon. was held In Exeter Hall on Friday night,
to protest against aurieolar confession in the Church
of England. Mr. Thomas R. Andrews, Chairman of
the Cotuunl of the association, presided, and the hall
was crowded. The Chairman said thoy had met to
protest against that abomination, priestly sacra-
mental confession tn the Church of England, [cheers
and hisses. ] and not only to protest against
it, but to take such steps as should ^ve tangi-
ble and enduring effect to their protest. [Cheers.]
He, and those for whom he spoke, desired
to maintain' the pure Scriptural principles of the
Church of England, which were restored to her at the
Reformation ; and they demanded that the Church
should be completely purged from Romanizing con-
spirators [cheers] and priestly confessors, who, while
eating her bread, were betraying her principles —
principles which they had sworn to maintain and de-
fend. [Cheers and some interruption.] The conduct
of the Bishops in coimection with this matter had
been severely commented upon, and, for himself, he
believed that if in the past their lordships had acted
fully up to their responsibility, and had spoken out
with that decision which their duty demanded, that
which was now eating the core out of the Protestant
Cliurch would have been nipped in the bud.
[Cheers.] But tl'e Bishops had now another oppor-
tunity, and If they did not take advant^e of it so
much the worse for them. [Cheers.] Their action, how-
ever, must not be tardy in Its operation, but mu.st be
sharp, decisive, and uncompromising. [Cheers. )
The day for soft speaking was over. Th^ must do
more than not patronize the wrongdoers. They must
not speak of suclt men as excellent men. and fear to
cut them off from the Church. The imperative duty
which lay before them was utterly to eliminate and
eradicate the vile system of confession in the Church
of England. [Cheers.] They had all heard of the
volume called The i^riest in Abtolution. That was a
most detestable book ; but it was very likely that the
work Itself would bo given up. Men would, as some
did now, disclaim It, and say they never knew it.
[Laughter.] But those whom he addressed must not
ue diverted from their object, and that was to cleanse
the Church of that system of confession which was
at present 80 extensively practiced, and which bad a
bUghtine effect upon eooal purity and confidence in
the homes of the people. [Cheers.]
SirThonaas Chambers, M. P., moved the first reso-
lution : That this meeting, viewing with deep alarm
certain recent disclosures as to the prevalence of the
teaching and practice of auricular confession by
clergymen of the Chtireh of England, and regarding
the practice as alien to her articles and formularies,
fraught ivith peril to her existence as an efttablisb-
ment, and subversive alike of the principles of moral-
ity, social order, and civil and religious Itbertv, re-
solves that a dutiful and loyal address in accordance
with these sentiments be presented to her most
gracious majesty the Queen. (Cheers.] The reso-
lution, be said, expressed alarm at the prevalence
of thiD teacldng and practice of auricular con-
fession, aud he for one bebeved that that
alarm was justified. ^iVhat where the facts 1 In
1S53 cnie clergyman m the West of London
was found to be teaching and practicing confession.
He was detected, he was convicted, and he was
turned out of the diocese. fLoud cheers. j In 1873
483 clergymen of the Church of England were found
willing to 'subscribe a memorial to Convocation, pray-
ing that body to enact a system of confession and to
train priests for that purpose. Lastlv, in 1877, 700
clergymen of the Church were found oanded together
witli'tbe view of promoting that and other objects.
[Hear, hear.] In the Established Church, therefore,
within a period of 20 years, they had passed from a
f'ingle man proposing and practising auricu-
lar confession to 700 clergymen being
united, as he had indicated. [At this
stage of the proceedings a prolong d
iuterraption was caused owing to the action of some
individu.^ls who did not appear to coincide in the re-
m.'irks of the speaker or in the resolution which he
had submitted. Comparative quiet having been re-
stored. Sir Thomas Chambers proceeded with hU ad-
dress. ] The resolution also declared that this practice
of conression wa« subversive of the principles of
morality. Who could doubt it f It was a shame
even to speak of these things. [Cheers.] Yet
they were to be miuutely discussed in all
their loathsome and uuspvakably horrible de-
tails, and digested into a system of ob-
scenity^ [cheeni] — a system to oe applied at
solemn moments, with a wretched victim writhing
uuder the t\Tanny of a priest, not penitent before
tlie eve of Infinite Purity and Mercy, but ashamed
aud degraded before the prurient gaze of a human
confessor. [Cheers.] Auricular confession was
uothini; less than a practice of spiritual vivisec-
tion. [Cheers.I "W'hy had it been Introduced into
the Clmi-eh t \\ hat was its avowed object i Its avowed
object was to detect .and drag to light the hidden lusts
nnd secret depravities of the heart. Was it right to
do that f [Cries of "No."] Ke unhesitatingly affirmed
that for such a process as that whicli they liad met
t*j fondemn there was no kind of warranty whatever
In Holy Scriptxire. Could any one doubt, also, that
the pmcllce of confession wa.<i subversive of social
onler i Family life had. hitherto been one of the
j.rides and glories of England : but family life, as we
unilerstood it. had never been found to exist in a
countr>- where priestly and auricular confession was
tolei-aied. fCheers.l ' Civil and religious liberty like-
wise was endangered by tills practice, for since tho
world begun th<?ro had never l>een a tyranny so
ubiquitous or a despotism so great as the power of
the priest.
Mr. E. Grerne. M- P.. seconded the resolution.
They had. he -said arrived at a crisis, and uikju tliis
)|ueNt ion of confession In the Church of England tho
Jnliy mu-^t once aud for all prononnce a distinct and
emphatic declshm, (Clieers.] As a Churchman, an
Englishraan and a I'rotestunt. be decbired that th«
men who carried on that abominable practice iu thu
Church were conspirators. (Loud cheers.] Their
proper plac« was the Church of Rome : and they
must not be allowed any longer to remain in a church
which they had disgraced. [Loud aud continued
cheering.]' A petition had been presented to
the Queen asking her to allow this abomin-
able system to be continued. He did not
tlunk a greater Insult had ever been offered to her
Mujestv. [Cheers.] If he knsw anythiug of tbeQueen
he was sure that she would be no party to a coun-
tenence of men who would. It tliey had their way,
reduce the people to a state of thraldom which it
would be bitter indeed to bear. [Heir, hear.] He re-
garded such men with disgust and Indignation, [loud
ciieers. ] aud he hoped the action of the laity in re-
g.-ird to them would be of no uncertain character, and
that hundreds of petitions of the right sort would go
up to her Majesty. [Cheers.]
Tho resolution was carried by acclamation, only a
few hands being held up against it.
Mr. Newdegate, M. P., moved the second resolu-
tion ; " That this meeting urgently calls npon the
Bishops to use all their authority and iuduence for
the effectual discouragement of the practice of auricti-
litr confession, whether in ordaining candidates for
holy orders, in the granting or withdrawing the
licenses of curates. In giving permission to officiate
or t^ike part in missions, in the consecration of places
of worship, in the exercise of their patronage,
and more especially in the control of theo-
logical colleges. parochial. Woodard, and
other schools. And if these means be found
insufficient, this meeting would respectfuJlv sug-
gest to their lordships to devise more elective
measures — if necessary bv an appeal to the Legisla-
ture— to eradicate an e^•if so repugnant to the feelings
of this Protestant country. And this meetmg re-
quests the Chainnan to transmit these resolutions to
the Archbishops and Bishops.'' He must, he said,
complain that the Bishops had not been diligent in re-
pressing the practice of auricular confession ; and the
time had come when they must Imperatively call
upon them to enforce the principles and cairry out tho
law of which they were the appointed officers. A
practice was belna; carried on which was dangerous
to the purity of family life and to society at large,
and which must be put an end to. It was downricbt
usurpation in any priest to set himself up as a judge
of the conscience of another, aud that was what
the priest claimed to be. [A Voice : " No
no.'] Why. in that vile book. The Priest in Absoln-
Hon, it was distinctly stated that "the priest is judge
in the place of trod." TCries of "Shame."] What
was that but utter blasphemyf [Cheers.] The
confessional inflicted a searching slavery upon all
who submitted to it : and he asked those who heard
him to take care that at future elections men should
be returned to Parliament who would effect a reforma-
tion of the ecclesiastical courts of law, so that if the
persons who now practiced aurictilar confession In
the Church of England would not yield to the influ-
ence and authority of the Archbishops and Bishops,
a law might b*' framed which those ArcJiblsbops and
Bishops might enforce without being ruined. [Heai-,
hear.]
Mr. H. B. Strangways seconded the resolution.
He thought that any man who found a priest In his
hotise carrying on this abominable system of auricu-
lar confession would be fully justified in kicking him
out, [loud and prolonged cheering:] aud If the priest
who was so kicked out were ta bring an action for as-
sault and battery, and if he were one of the jurors
in the case, his verdict would be a very short one —
'■ Serve him right" [cheers-J Men must no longer be
permitted, under the cloak of the Church and the
Else of religion, to corrupt the pure minds of Eng-
h girls and women.
Tlie resolution wa:? cordially agreed to.
Mr. J. Bateman moved the third resolution : *' That
this meeting Invites all loyal churchmen, both in this
country and hs colonies, to como forward and
strengthen the hands of the Church Association, the
more so as that body can now appeal to its past
career as a pledge that its future exertions will be
steadfastly directed toward the maintenance in all
their purity of the Protestant principles of the national
Churtih." He congratulated those who had taken ac-
tion in this matter not only on the very large gather-
ing to whom he now spoke, but on the
fact that a second meeting had been held In
the lower hall, which was closely packed, and which
was quite as euthu-siaBtic and unanimous as the pres'
ent. [Cheers.] With reference to the men who car-
ried ou aurictilar confession in the Church of Eng-
land, he thought it was no exaggeration of language
to call them " sneaking scoundrels." [Loud and jiro-
longed cheering.] The establishment was degraded
by lueir presence, and the Bishops did not ap»^ar
to know what to do with them, but he hoped that
one result of this meeting wonld ba that the Bishops
would leave off twiddling their flngers. and would
baneitetiiiralk itxmifaitfbTirarA Hke in«n in ibo Uao* ^
of the Church Association. [Loud oheaim.] ,
Bev. Dr. Watnwrisht sveonded Uie resolution.
Since the d&ys of the Stuarts (be ivmadEed) it had
never been more necesasry than at the present time
to speak out trumpet -tongued on this matter- He
earnestly hoped tliat the enthusiasm which the meet-
ing had exhibited would not be allowed to evaporate,
but that the feelings of bis hearers would traoslate
themselves into vigorous action. [Cheers.]
The resohition was agreed to.
A vote of thanks to the Chaimaa brought the
meeting to a dose.

HOW THE PEOPLE OF NORTHERN IOWA ARE
^ AFFLICTED WITH RECKLESS WANDERERS
* — ^ATTEMPTS TO CAPTURE RAILROAD
TRAINS.
A letter from Plytnotith, Iowa, to the St Paul
(Minn.) Pion<tfr-Prc5* gives a doleful account of the
troubles occasioned by the almost tnanmerable
tramps in that section. It says: "Ever nnee the
weather became warm enough for them to sleep out
of doors, they have been everywhere present, beg-
ging for something to eat, and often demtndlng,
when the man of the hooae was absent, accompany-
ing their demands with threats and vile laagoage.
Their appearance, on the whole, Is the most disgust-
ing and repulsive that can be imagined. The late dis*
turbauco and the approaching harvest have caused a
norde of them to Join the harvest hands going north-
ward, and, following the examples of their Eastern
brethren, they have been dictating terms for their
transportation uid subsistence. Tuesday, 24th inst.,
they came from the towTis below by the Burlington,
Cedar Rapids and Northern Railroad, to the num-
ber of 150 or more, and swarmed around
our little village like a nest of wasps,
waiting for the afternoon freight on the
Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad- Tlie
conductor, Prank Langliam, is one of those men who
proposes to nm his own train, and before they had
fairly boarded he cleared the car, backed np the
track, and took a nm through that left them waiting,
AU that night we stood guard. After exhausting.
the supplies of the village they visited the hcji-
roosts and potato patches around for ftirther relief.
The next morning they waited for the passenger
train, but it had a guard for protection, and they
made no demonstration, but armed themselves for
the freight, .\nxiously they waited, each with a
clnb, until about 7 P. Si., when the welcome whistle
announced its approach. By orders from their Cap-
tain they form&d in line on the platform, and tlie
train which they boasted for the whole d^y
the^ would capture gradually slackened, when - to
theur amazement the Sheriff "of thecoimty, accom-
panied by O. "W. Sanborn. Assistant Superintendent
Con. Hoxle. and about 50 of the leading citUens of
Mason City, disarmed them, after which they were
addressed by the Sheriff. As they wished to move
north they were put in some coal 'cars and secured,
the escort accompanying them north as far as Car-
penter, wiiere a detachment had preceded them.
Thursday afternoon, 25th lusL, by the same
road, the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and North-
ern, another laiger detachment urived, com-
pletely flllinp four box cars. and covering
their roofs. They announced that they had taken tho
train, and bsd captured a tr^n on the Chicago &
Northwestern Railroad, and their Captain, called
'Scotty,' told the agent here to order transportation
from the Superintendent north, for they were
going on the 1:20 train, 'peaceably *if thev
could ; forcibly if they must.' Houses and
stores were mostly closed and guarded. Word
was sent to our Sheriff. but tJX waited
In expectation until near night, when the Bur-
lington engine came iu to take "freight South. As
they haulfMl the train out of tlie switch on the main
track the Captain. '.Scotty,' and a detachment
boarded it and set the brakt^s, and the whole crowd
rushed for t he train, but the engine was uncoupled,
and. to their disgust, left for the south, leaving the
train standing on the track. Bitter was their curs-
ing, and long they labored to push a portion of the
cars on the switch. About 7 o'clock they discovered
an engine to the south npproachiiig, and Scotty and
his engineer again went toward them, thlnldiu? the
same engine liad returned, and • to claim it was a
mistjikf.' that they thought it the mail train, ice,
but they met our Sheriff, H. H. Schell. and Capt.
Dexter and a detachment. 110 in number, of Com-
{)any A. Sixth Regiment, Stste Militia, who were
oolong after them, and sent them back to
Mason City, and then proceeded to Plymouth,
where in a ' few minutes tho bayonets
of the boys were directing them toward
a central point uear the depot here. After furnish-
ing them all the crackers remaining in the town, they
were directed to proceed on their way north and dis'-
perse, being escorted about four miles on the road.
They showed their disgust and feelings by piling ties
on the track and breaking the wire, and a portion of
them rallied at Carpenter to try to force a free ride.
The morning train took up a small guard, wbich pro-
ceeded to disperse them, as Carpenter and nearly all
of them clearly understand that Mr. Sanborn and the
employes of our road Intend to manage their own
affairs, and are succeeding so far. There were over
300 in this last arrival, but at this date the roast is
clear. We hear of 1,500 more yet to come. Let
the citizens of Minnesota cot their revolvers in
order, load their shot-guns with buck-shot and pass
them on. And let all honest harvesters looking for
work avoid h.ueh company, an4 keep clear of crowds
aud pay their way."

WOMEXSCHOOL OFFICIALS IX CALIFORXIA
The San Francisco BuUetin says : *■ There are
at present three counties where ladles hold the posi-
tion of Superintendent of Common Schools. These
are Mono. Trinity, and Tuolumne. The Placer Re-
publicans have this year made a new departure, and
placed a lady in nomination for the office of County
Superintendent. The name of the bidy who thus
enters upon the arena of political life Is Mrs. Charles
Pitcher. It must be a source of satisfaction to her
that the first ballot lauded her with a triumphant ma-
jority over her male competitor, and secured her the
nomination. She has now to appeal to the larger
convention— the people of the county. The statute
making women eligible for position under the
School law was pa^ed at the session of 1S73-74.
They have, however, been more successful when
seeking the ofhce of School Trustee than in their
efforts to obtain the position of County Superin-
tendent. Although several women were successful
before the nominating conventions two ^ears ago,
only in tho three counties named above did they se-
cure elections. An effort was made during the last
session to repeal the law. but it was unsnccessfnl. It
is claimed In some quarters that the law is unconsti-
tutionxd on the ground that no person is eligible to be
elected to any o&ce who is uot a duly qualined voter.
But no person has yet been found who is sufficiently
ungallant to take the case into tlie courts."
OLI> HATS MADE WORSE.
Some annoying expericacea by two Albany
lawyers, who value a good-looking hat, are thus set
forth by the Time* of that city : '' A few days since a
peddler entered the law office of Mr. A. B. Pratt, and
dilated on the merits of a bat-poliahing liquid that he
was selling, saying It was used Lu all the large hat
mantif actories in the countrj*, and that by a simple
appliance of it old hats could be xoade 10 look as good
as new. Sixitlug the action to the word, be took one
of Mr. Pratt's nearly new hats and applied some of
tne material. It appeared to work well, and imparted
a slosay apnearance. Mr. Pratt purciiAsed a bottle
«f the liquid, M alio did Mr. Stflet. snoth v bnm'i
yfbo, aa soon sa he returned to his office, "j^^*^
some of the liquid, and with scorning like elTaat ■• ia
the c«ae of Mr. PraU's hat. Te£t«rdAy the hats wan
looked St, and aeemeil to have a traniparent appear
ance. A few moment's exposure to the sun, ana tbf
substance cracked, giving to the hats a sliocking ap
pearance. The tluid was glue or some geUtlnoo*
substance, and the hats were spoiled. The Uwyen
waxed wroth, but it was no use, the peddler wai
gone."

JFVmti the Boston Commercial SuUtUn.
Boston has quite a large interest in the worh
of clothing the luml>ermen of Michigan, W'iaoonsiu.
and Minnesota, and ono firm here manufacturei
goods for that purpose to tho annual value of aboal
$100,000. The hardy and eccentric workcra^tfac
giant industry of the North-west require igarments
of peculiar material and make. They aire subjected
to the severest of Winter weather while in libe
woods, and when on the river they are always vet,
frmn the time tho '' drive " staxts until it -teachea Its
deatlnatiou. Tbedr garments must, therefore, be all
wool and of the thickest andbeavfcst description, and
manv of the men, having no particu'ar idiosyn-
crasies in favor of frequent changes of garments
seldom possess at a time more than the one stout
suit which covers them. But although fickle fashior
causes no demand for superfluous ganaents among
them, the number of men en^^a^ed in lumbering is «c
large that the quantity of clothing used by them ii
enormous, and the peculiarities of their avocation
and the eccentric character of the men themselves
neces-sitates the manufacture ef cloth and clothing
especially adapted for them, and differing consider-
ably from that worn by workmen engaged in other
industries. The costumes of the lumbermen of
Maine, Pennsylvania, the BritUih Provinces, and-
other sections of the country are similar to tbose of
the North-west, but the number of men employed in
the former regions is insignificant as compared with
the latter.
The material of a large proportion of the lumber-
men's clothinc now manufactured Is similar to thai
of tho "Mackinaw blankets" mode fur the Indlar

becoming quite generally known among the tradi
as '* Mackinaw p«*ods." Tlie cloth is most of It madi
by carpet manufacturers who have the contracts £0:
malaiig the blankets fur the Government ; It Is o:
extraordinary weight and thicknerts. and is* colored
either scarlet, blue, or green. The garmenta art
manufactured in Boston. Chicago, New-York, au^
other citleti. and arv retailed in all the towns con-
tiguous to the Iumt>er retri<'ns, lumbermen's clothing
being one of the most profitable features of the fur-
nishing stores of those sections.
The costume of a lumberman consists of uudeAhW
and drawers, overshirt. pants, a larjre scarlet sash
around the waist, hi^h boots, woolen stockings —
generally country -kuit — hat. jacket or ooat. mud .
woolen mittens, lined with buckskin. This Is a com-
plete lumberman's outfit, as far as clothing is con-
cerned ; and. witn the exception of hat and boots. aL*
of the articles are now made of 3Iackinaw gooda
though underclothing of that material is not in bc
common use as are overshirts. pants, and jacketa
Many of the undershirts are made of knit goods 01
of common bed blankets, and when of the l&ttei
material the whole blanlfet, includinj; the stripec
portion, is cut up in the most convenient manner. M
that the stripes appear sometimefl In one, and sora&
times in another portion of the shirt.
The Itunberman usually seleclit a suit all of Oftc
color — generally ^thor Bcarlet or blue tltroo^hoaft,
though the Rash is rarely of any color but scarleC
Pr»queutly the -whole crew of a lumber camp eelecl
clothes of a uniform color, and their appearance
when in the woods 50 or 100 miles from civUin-
tlon, dressed iu costumes of bright tcariel or azurtt.
Is verypicturesque. and, withal, somewhat brigand-
ish. They are uot alwaj-s moved to the selectkin of ■
similar t-olorvd garments by a jioetic deUre for pbc-
turesqueness, however ^ their motive Is sometimca
more practical, being a desire -to avoid conspicuoua-
ness. lor if one or two men are dressed In a totally
different colored garb from the remainder of the
camp the eye of the " boss" is liable to fall upon
them most frequently wheu he wants any special
work done, and this fact appears to dlsconra^ all ^
disposition to individual peculiarity in- dreui. Alost
of t}ie oversliirts Jmve a large turned-down coUnr.
and for a jacket many of the lumbermen are now
showing a preference for a garment called a " chop-
ping jacket.' about the size of a sailor's pea-jacket,-
with a large collar and a strap and buckle around tbie
waist.
The demand for Mackinaw goods for lumbermen's -
elothim; originated seven or (.-ijzht year* ago. Ma<^-
iuaw blauicets were cut up for the purpose, aud gave
such complete satisfaction that the Idea arose of
manufacturing full pieces of doth of the same kind
especially for this line of trade, and it is now tht
material for most of the clothing worn by lombeiv

The San Francisco Alta savs : *' The addres:
delivered to the Legislature of Sonbra on the opening
of its session by Gov.-Mariscarls congratulatorj- ir
its phraseology, but the facts stated or implied In ii
do not give a high idea of the political or social con
ditlon. A considerable space Is devoted to complaint!
about the alleged maladministration of the Pes
queiras, who. we are told, exercised arblfrary mill
tary power, so that the legislative and judldai do
partments were virtually suspended. The-ufficiali
levied forced loans at their pleasunv and imprisouec
the victims till the money whs paid. There was s
complete abandonment of ■ordt*r. morality, and ja*
tice' in government affairs, and the condition of the
jteople was little better tlian if theylind been given
up to be sacked by an army. Mariscal sa>'s that all
such abuses liave now been corre<:ted but it bk bartly.
possible that he exaczerates tlie avih of the past ana
overestimates the merits ol the present AdminiKtra-
tion. He bousts that the State lias 5.O0O pupils ia
its schools, which are now doing bett<*r tlian ev.-r be-
fore. There may btr an inuirovenient. but there la
room for much more. Shu Francisco hsb relatively
four times as many children in her schools, and the
instruction is twice as c<'od. so that it nmy be said
that this city does oi^ht times as roudi to preimre its
children for a respectable place in the struggle of life
as Sonora does. So long as kuowledjie is power,
Mexico caTini>t expect any crvat prosperity until :ihe

Testino Vineoar.— In your column of useful
family hints a correspondent states that the adtiltera-

h^ the addition of chloride of bariun^. Allow me lol
dissent. Nearly all nnegar contains sulphates, I
notably the sulphate of potash esistiiig in th'- juicesi
of fruits, or in molasses, from which much vini-ciir is:
manufactured. These sulphates give a pri-cipiT.ttel
with chloride of barium. A miinufaiHurer of viuegr.r
once consulted me on ttie subject, and stated
that he could not nuikii kn ait icle < ' f

even when using; distilled spirit for acetification. Hei
was also sure that he never added sulphuric acid ti*
vinegar. He emjiloyed tlio quick pnjtcess with heech-i
wood ijha\ings, which was another sonrct- of sul-'
phates, the latter existinc in the ash ot the woimI und
dissolving out ^vith the vincsar. Free sulphuric acid

of the brigade to which the Ninth beloneed, and
produc.i! iiis papers as proofs. " Fu show

Ko. 1. U*7, at the same time giving
tiie old c'-nlleinr.n a violent shove backw.ird. The
(ieneral thereupon took copies of the numbers of the

WHICH THE WORKING GIRLS SUFFER,
AND |WHAT THt j BOWER IS DOING TO
ALLEJV1A.TE THEM:J
The BoBtoia papers : print abstracts of Miss
Jezmie Collins* seventh ia^tud report of the work
done at "RafBu's Bower, ^] as she calls her institu-
tion, whosal aim it is tfO relieve immediate distress
and improve the methoitlsiof living among that large
class of working girls "ffllo find the conditions and
the burdens of labor in ithe city almost too formida-
ble to be :^cces8fully ifnet- She refers to changes
which havcj [occurred iin tili|lustrial employments since
the close <i(f the war, ani^ says: '" Before the civil
war a girl'sj wages rangjed from $5 lo $10 per week,
and $2 was the cost for 1 board. At present her
wages range from $G to S20 and upward, but she is
obliged to pay $5 for board, and all that she con-
sumes Is iiadirectly taxedj to make up the $5,000,-
000 this Stjkte annuallyi i>iy.s to keen breath in the
vast arrnvj of non-prtiflucers. Women in coarser
grades of ilfork are pai^ji^roin $3 to $5 per week;
on an average, $L Okie .of them, when asked how
she could live on that jamoimt, answered, 'Like a
mouse in the wall.' V^oiueu have crowded men out
of their orjiginal domain, not only in the professions,
but in the industrial' branches. In this city alone
distinct crafts : nire open to women, (men
needed i ^ '. !'asslstants,) while not
ten are e.^clu.sively
controlled 11 by the stottier ses. There are 00,000
more womlen than men iii the Commonwealth, but in
ourhoapitijls. almshouries, aud prisons the latter out-
number trip former f^'b to one. Mothers drag their
children ftom place to place, begging piteously for a
chance tqj do the hardest drudgerj- in order to con-
tinue their|caro over their little one.»f. The doors are
closed against them.' I They have opportunities to
give awa^ their children, but no chance lo take
care of thiem under another person's roof. What
have the innocent women and children done that
they sjiould suffer as I have witnessed the last year i
Nor Is it much easier, for single woiueu. The answer
comes, ' 1 Icannot worki for small tmv, because my
father andl mother deptind on me. I have brothers :
but they ate no help.' This community w«)uld be as-
tonisheil if they knew t|iB; vast multitude of men who
are wholly supported by tluj hard labor of wom«u.
1 call to mind the nuinertms arti les written ihiring
the last yeiir, inteuditig to convey un idea that work
is repulsive to persons obliged to procure it, and that
stem measures should be enforced to make
them submit. No j greater affliction can l>e-
fall the^ women | I| j come in contact with
than idleness. Thel phiversal stutement is, • 1
don't care wliat I do; as I cannot endure to be a
loafer.' jindthe moment they see a prospect, never
.so po()r. they are I nmsfonned \vith cheerfulness and
encourageiuent. It is a|foretiiste of heaven on .Satur-
day night to the girl whii Inis been faitlifuland itppre-
ciated during the wee!:.' when she knows that her
place is waiting for her Monduv morning'- Labor Is
fascinating in itself; oiJk" the disa;jrceable conditions
repel, some of "which are lumberint; awkwardness.
dirt, waste of, vitality, friction, snpprt-ssion, antago-
nism, and bad manners that create a disliketo work in
the p'jorer classes of people. My idea is to strictly
avoid the slightest appearance that work is a penalty
or a disfipliuo. From \ihn nalure of our productive
industrj-, three monthfil in the Fall and Spring is
• iiigh p'reasure ;' then comes the Uoating from one
occupation to another. | As our shop-irirls are ve'rsa-

sents itsellf. In their keen pursuit for domestic
service faithful did attaches Iu fftmilies

Young g:ris accept I low wa^es, knowing they
have mauv reso\ircfs, that give them inde

GRAIX TJiAlU-: OF JiCFFALfJ. •
ufF(ilo C^tJimerciul Adftrdsfr says that
hlystateiriert^E the flour and grain trade
of that city show.^ a g '(fat improvement over that of
last moilut, and that, iu fact, the grain movement
comi)aro8 very favjpi ajlily with that of preceding
years, although tho| receipts of wheat are unusually
light. Et continues : '"As a natural consequence of a
short waeat supply, fioijir falls below former years,
but corn fills up the gap, and swells the monthly
movemtnt to satisfae ory proportions. Tiie receipts
of flour ^or the montl were y3.yJU barrels, to 118.-
Iil4 last jyear; those of j wheat were only 578,780
bushels (his jJuly to.>,540,39t in 1S75: while the
imports I of com we"e 5.851.039 bushels, which is
double t he aJnount riiiorted for the same period in
either <f the two S:?asons immediately preceding.
The tbtWl receipts Of , all kinds of* grain were
6,98-l,jlja7 [bushels, to I 5/J37.GS9 in ls70. Len-
der itioj^ ciircumstancas' this must be regarded
as a siiasfactory month's work. The movement
by ran I is much bjelow that of last year. The
total reeeipts of floiir bv the Lake bhore for the
month-itero:5.L700iarTelsto90.ti00 in 1S70. and
of all kiudi of grui if ' 643,000 to, 1.027,000 last
year. The rail receipts from Jan. 1 to July 31 also
show a large dectijiel for the present season. The
comparative exhibit K>f Uke and canal freights for
July also indicate3 a better condition of affairs
among carriers. The prices paid in Midsummer List
year were einough m bankrupt all en:jaged in the
transportation Imsin^ss- But the railroad war had
been prosecuted with such vigor, aud the cutting of
rates was so general among aaients, that vessel-own-
ers had to make vern low bids or tie up their ships.
Carriers h:ive done' ajlititle better this season. Not-
Withstanding the adjreifli influences, the slupments
of grain by canrd tliils season are in excess of those
for" either iy7.T oryl876. The esport.s of wheat
reach only 1.979,751 bushels tliis year, to 7.811.000
last year- Ibut thel total shipments of all kinds
of grain were 13,3|ltJ.330 bushels, to li:.37'2,G20
last season, and l*Jj|>00. 100 in the pre\ious vear.
The same gratifying' Increase is to be seen in all the
leading , articles of bommeree. The shipments of
lumberjlhis year weue 33,700,000 feet, to, 22. 874,-
000 last se.-ison. a gliin' of nearly 11.000,000 feet.
In shins'-es the escesfe this season is equal to the entire
movement iu l»7ti J while the shipments in staves
were 54,095,845 pounds iu 1^77 to 30.673,400
lust se:ison. In ICjOi not a barrel of pork nor a
pound of lard wentforward by canal. This year the
shipments of the former stand at 21.354*barreis,
and of the latter t^t ;6.464.341 pound*;. The in-
crensed;acti\-ity by banal is shown by th-j fact that
A^trVoi^'^ boats have cleared this* year than last.
Although the rates <!Jf tolls are only op per cent, of
■WtfttJhey were in lp7t>, and that on boats has been
ab^isaed entirely, ithe coU'.-c:io!is atj^hls p.->rt for

The sixth volume of the American edition
of the Eneyelopadia Briiannica contains nearly
1.00 articles in over 800 pages, making an
average of more than eight pages to an article.
The greater number are still in the letter C, and
the whole list of thsToIame closes with I^f.
Kobertaon Smith's essay on David. The
life and doctrines of Auguste Comte are ex-
amined by John Morley, and the literary
career of Congreve by A. C. Swinburne. The
translator of the Chinese Classics, Dr. Legge,
hag the telling of the life of Confucius, and
Correggio meets with a sympathetic biographer
In the poet and painter of Italian descent, W. M.
Bossettii The old poet Cowley is summed up
by one of the youngest i>oets of the Bossettl
school, Edmund W. Gosse. Bev. A. H. Sayce,
the pundit of Assyrian texts, writes on Cyrus
and Darius. Oscar Browning has undertaken
the poet Dante, and the revolutionist Danton is
treated by John Morley— the biographer, as just
mentioned, of Comte. Eleven colored plates are
added to this volume, of which five are intended
to illustrate the essay on Coal, written by H.
Banerman ; three more are helps to the text of
James Gibson on the Coleoptera j two are maps
of Cornwall and Cumberland respectively, while
the eleventh contains outlines of seven species
of ciabs. Among the articles there is one writ-
ten by a woman, and as the subject is Commun-
ism, It may receive notice here in jnef erence to
others abler or as able, because it relates to a
word very common nowadays in the mouths of
the people. Mrs. Fawcett is the essayist, the
wife of Prof. Henry Fawcett, of the House of
Commons, a lady who is no novice in the science
of political economy wherein her husband has
made his mark. She has published aJ'olUical
JBconomy for Seginnera, and with her husband
has been co-author of a volume of Esaaya and
Lectwrea.
Mrs. Fawcett distinguishes two mea^ngs in
the word, used indiscriminately by persons
who have not examined its origin. The com-
munism of Plato, Sir Thomas More, and Father
Bapp contains no place for the popular idea of a
communist — a man who shirks labor in order to
enjoy part of the earnings of others. Eobert
Owen spent £60,000 on his communistic
theories, and resigned the prospect of an
enormous fortime which his extraordinary
business talents could not have failed to earn
had he followed his abilities instead of his
theories. But the Paris communism has nothing
to do with the kind of system adopted by Owen
and J. H. Noyes, the head of the Perfectionists at
Oneida. The French wordcownmneisahousehold
word in France for " township" or corporation.
In nearly every town and village there is a cor-
porate property called Lea Biem Conunutuiux,
and the property is vested in the corporation or
commune. The revolution of the Conimtme
overthrown in May, 1871, was entirely politi-
cal ; it propounded no new economic theories ;
it demanded only a democratic republic and the
communal or corporate independence of Paris.
In discussing Plato's Bepullic and Sir Thomas
More's Utopia. Mrs. Fawcett calls attention to
the premise from which they and their fol-
lowers start, namely, that existing institutions
are so bad that no reform can be expected un-
less everything is upset from top to bottom. But
the results have denied the truth of this premise ;
society does change, does accept reforms with-
out the disintegration which these spec-
ulative minds demand. One remarka-
ble trait of theoretical communists is
the strong point they make of education.
The first impulse to national education in the
present century probably sprang from the very
marked success of Robert Owen's schools lu
connection with the cotton-mills of Xew-Lanark.
Noticing the sweeping condemnation of the
banking system by Louis Blanc — who, in his
Organiaation'du Travail, calls for the suppres-
sion of banks because they will not give credit
to the laborer without the security which a
laborer can not advance — Mrs. Fawcett points
to the practical results of the theories of
Schultze-Delitsch in Germany, the credit banks
which began to be established in the year 1851.
They are associations of artisans formed for
the purpose of enablinst the members to obtain
by means of credit the capital* necessary to pro-
duction. The workmen are jointly and sever-
ally responsible for the repayment of loans
made to any one of their number. Hence, a
candidate is admitted with great caution, his
previous character thoroughly considered, and
his actual status as a laborer fully assured. The
mceees of the co-operative banks is very great,
notwithstanding the attacks made upon the sys-
tem by prominent German communists. Ijb-
erallsm in politics is equally detested by modem
communists. And yet, although communists
are antagonistic to co-operative schemes, the
co-operation that has worked so well in England
Is undoubtedly due to social reformers who, first
proved by many failures the useiessness of com-
munism as an engine of social regeneration.
The town of Oldham has 80 joint-stock co-oper-
ative mills ; in the Countyof Lancashire there-
are 150. The bulk of the shareholders are
lartisans who labor in the mills, and who there-
fore have a direct and immediate interest in
iihe results of their industry. The principle of
nlf-tnterest involved in co-operation, which
communism attacks, lias had the effect of pro-
ducing not mere activity on the part of the
laborer, but thoroughly sound and honest work.
Mn. Fawcett reviews at length the tendency
of trades-unions to lower the aggregate pro-
dticing power of labor and enslave the
laborer by exacting a uniform amount of
work from each member. The Manches-
ter . Bricklayers' Association has a rule that
any man found running or working beyond a
regular speed shall be fined with increasing se-
verity for each offense. It was urged by the
tradea-unionists of Lancashire and Torkahire
that women should not be allowed to work, be-
cause their vanity was such that a word of praise
from the overseer would cause them to redouble
their exertions. To such length do trades-unions
carry the obliteration of individual competition.
Communal societies like the Shakers and
Perfectionists manage to socure a good share of
work from their members. The societies are small,
and the members see in what their labor results.
Various methods are used by them to keep pop-
olation low ; their ntmiber has steadily decreased,
and yet the value of their present . aggregate
property is not very large. The check on pop-
ulation observable in such forms of communism
doei not allow the same conclusions to be drawn
for the world at large, were the system to be-
come general. Modem communists In Burope
vigorously denounce the theory and practice of
Ualthusianism, which, in one form or another,
the American communists maintair. When
the teaUy great results of co-operation In Eng-
land, tJ^^TrVg Mrs. Fawcett, are compared with
nearly a century of communism in America, the
concltislon is inevitable that co-operation is
much mora effectual than communism in pro-
ducing a radical improvement in the condition
and status of labor.
TIHETA, THE PHANTOM CITF. rrom the GermaD of
iLWiasza. By Fbiscu A. Sa^w. Boaton: £aiK8
ttlMMlAX. 1877.
The rising of the oppressed Poles, ^in the
Prosalan parts of that unhappy country,, forms
'the background against which the greater, part
of this story moves. Waldemar and Leo are
haU-brothen, and sons of a Polish lady ; Wdde-
mar has been brought np a German, after the
daath of Us Qannan father, while Leo, the loa
Ittttlgilflm"*''*-""*" ''" swthar.
to be • fniriot. They ' are In . exile, and poor,
while Waldemar is the heir to a GemiaD estate
and thoroughly esiran^d from bis mother.
His guardian brings him up in a helpless way
and lets him do as he pleases ; the result is a
cub who knows how to hunt like a savage, but
can not enter a drawing-room. The half-broth-
er, Leo, is just the reverse. Here he is de-
scribed :
"Waldemar Nordeckwas molded after the Ger-
zuanic type, and bore no trace of his Polisli ori^n.
The tall, almost giant, figure towered even abov^
Witold'a stately form, but it lacked symmetry ; Its
outlines were sharp and angular. Tlie heavy mass
of blonde hair seemed a burden to his head, for it fell
low over the forehead, and was every now and then
tlirown hack with an impatient movenxent ; the blue
eyes had a sullen expression, and in moments of ex-
asperation, like this, an almost maUgnant glare : the
face was decidedly plain, having neither the delicate
lineaments of the boy nor the decided features of the
man."
Leo and Waldemar have a cousin called
Wanda, to whom 'Leo Is to be betrothed, ac-
cording to family arrangement. The mother,
who is a strong- willed, intriguing patriot, brings
Waldemar together with Leo and Wanda, and
finding that no one has any influence over him
but her niece, uses her to bring Waldemar to
terms. Rebellion against Prussia Is to be
fomented with an estate belonging to Waldemar
as the focus. Leo is jealous of Waldemar, and
not without cause, for Wanda begins by ridi-
culing and ends by loving her uncouth cousin.
It is George Sand's Mauprat over again, only
the lover to whom she prefers Waldemar is
much more charming than the one sacrificed by
the cousin of Mauprat. Waldemar Is a stanch
German, and finds himseU governing a large
Polish estate, where all the tenants hate him,
and his own mother, half-brother and the giri
he loves are aiding and abetting the insurrec-
tion against German occupation. The crash
comes in 1863, and the Poles are defeated. Leo
is killed ; Waldemar frees Wanda's father from
prison on the promise of her hand, and tho
book ends, in the comfortable old fashion, with
marriage bells. Vine/a is a good novel of no
great intensity, and the translation has been
w^ell done. ,
TITI LIVl AB UftBE COKDITA: Ubrl I., II.,
WT^ et XXII. IVith Notes by Chabi.es Asthok,
LL. D.. Late Professor of Greek at Colombia College,
New- York, and by HroH CttAlG.M. A., Trinity Col-
lege, Cambridge. New-Yori; HaJeu'EK & Bbotue&s.
This voliuue will possess an interest for
every student of classical literature through its
being the posthumous work of one of the great-
est scholars America has ever produced. Thfe
name of Dr. Charles Anthon is familiar in
every land and in every school and college
where the authors of ancient (ireece and Rome
are read and studied. Not on^y was he one of
the most eminent classical scholars of his age
and country, but he was also ;the first nativb
American who ftimishcd teSt-books in the
classics for the schools of the Old World. The
general adoption of his works in the lead-
ing seminaries of Europe ' has made his
name a household word to th^ students of the
nineteenth century. Those who never saw him
in the lecture-room, and knew nothing of the
influence of his presence, may be ranked among
his most ardent friends and admirers, so much
has he done toward smoothing "the rugged road
that leads to classical learning.
The distinguishing characteristic of Dr. An-
thon's editions of the ancient writers is the
minute and copious annotations appended to each
work. Curious to relate, this sy.stem at first enj-
countered severe opposition, it being, apparent-
ly, the opinion of many learned pedagogues
that too much assistance shotold not bo oifered
the young minds that were trj-ing to climb ' the
steeps of knowledt;e. Tlie irrationality of such
prejudice soon made itself apparent, however,
and the labors of Dr. Anthon were so generally
approved by the majority of scholars that many
of those who were at first loudest in their denun-
ciations were compelled by the positive advan-
tages and rich results of his plan to adopt, as
far as possible, a similar fullness of annotation
in their own publications.
It was in 1833, 15 years after he was elected
to a Professor's chair in Columbia College, that
Dr. Anthon first projected a classical series
which should comprise the text-books used in
academies and schools preparatory to college,
as well as ^hose read in our different colleges
and universities. To the execution of this plan
the great part of leisure hours were devoted ;
and, although after his two or three hours daily
■with his coUege classes — he devoted three
hours a day to the grammar school connected
with Columbia— he yet found time to publish
more than a volume a year during the suc-
ceeding 30 years. For three or four years
before bis death, however, his failing strength
warned him that he must abandon a portion at
least of his liabittial labors. At first he re-
linquished his position in the grammar school,
but this relief proved insufficient, and finally it
became necessary for lum to discontinue his
editorial work. Thus, when his death occiirred
there remained several incomplete works upon
which he had been engaged. One of the most
important of these was an edition of the four
books of Titus Livius embodied in the volume
now before us. The commentary on the first
and second books and on the first 23 chapters
of the twenty-first book was complete, but here
the great scholar had been compelled to lay
down his pen, prooably with the deep regret
that always attends the relinquishment of a noble
Mid important work. Another hand, however,
has tmdertaken to finish the task so well begun,
and to Prof. Hugh Craig, of Trinity College,
Cambridge, we are indebted for the addition of
another volume to the library of classic authors
projected by Dr. Anthon.
Titus Livius, the greatest of Roman his-
torians, was born in the Consulship of C. Julius
C'sesar and M. Calpumius, at Patavium, the
modem Padua, where he passed the earlier years
of his life, receiving a varied and liberal educa-
tion. It is also probable that he remained
there occupied by his literary studies during
the civil commotiona that ensued upon the as-
sassination of Julius Caesar. It was only natural,
however, that he should take up his residence
at Rome as soon as quiet was restored to that
city, and we hear of him there engaged upon
the composition of dialogues discussing politi-
cal and philosophical questions. These were
addressed to the Emperor Augustus, and se-
cured his favor and friendship toward the au-
thor. The great work oif Livy's life, however,
was the preparation of his immortal history,
and at Rome he had access to all the archives
and records of the State. Augustus is also said
to have invited him to occupy apartments in the
imperial palace, and even to have given him
such explanations of the public documents as
would facilitate his labors. There is abundant
proof that Livy was favoreB^ with the intimate
friendship of the Emperor, but in no instance
does he appear to have coveted pecuniary ad-
vantage or official position. His whole interest
was centred in advancing and perfecting his
great literary work. The only departure from
this rule is suggested by a remark of Suetonius,
a later historian, who says that for a while Livy
was Intrusted with the education of Claudius,
who afterward succeeded to the Empire.
Livy commenced the history about the year
727 A. U. C, or B. C. 27, when he was himself
about 30 years of age. This date is ascertained
from his mention in the first book of the fact
that the Temple of James had been clqsed a
second time. The third closing occurred but
five years later. The closing of the gates of this
temple indicated, as is generally knownj that
the Roman Empire was at peace with the wiorld ;
but so frequent were the wars that the gates
were almost constantly open. The entirejWork"
comprised 142 books ; but all are lost except 35
and a few fragments of the others. Of these
,th« fonr sslaoted by Dr. Aathoa an of special
-_jf.^-
Interest Books I. and n. give tie early mythi-
cal traditions regarding the establishment of the
^pire, including the arrival of .£neas from
.ptured Troy, his conimest of the original Ital-
the quarrel of Romulus, the seizure of
Sabine women, and the wars and
Bances that followed. The XXIst and
Id books are a record of the famous struggle
between the Romans and the Carthaginians
under the leadership of Hannibal. Livy's great
reputation began during his life, his own coun-
trymen according to him the same rank among
their historians that Virgil occupied among their
poets and Cicero among their orators. He died
at the age of 7C, having been occupied all of 40
years in the preparation of the history.
Our thanks are due to Prof. Craig for com-
i)letlng and bringing forward tills volume, in
^hich we recognize tho last of Dr. Anthon's
labors, and the ripest fruit of his eminent
scholarship. As throughout the series, the an-
notations are ample, judicious, and suggestive,
famishing all the Information and assistance
that the student can desire. They will also be
attractive to the advanced scholar, who finds, in
comparing his own with the critical observa-
tions of others, a pleasure second only to that
of perusing the great authors themselves. For
It cannot be questioned that great as is the
ictual merit of the latter, the interest felt in
them to-day is enhanced by the fact that they
have been studied and admired through all
ages, and are thus more closely linked with the
Jiving present. We may hope that Prof. Craig
and his fellow-laborers in the field of classical
^tudy will, in a similar manner, introduce us to
itill others of the great minds of antiquity,
iutil we possess a full series of works by ancient
authors, each of which shall be as attractive and
Valuable as the one before us.
ElEABT HISTORIES. SPIRIT LONGINGS, &c. Ev L
B. F. "aialone, N. Y'.: I'ubliiihed by the Author. 1S77
There is always somethiug to be found in
records of human life, even when they are stif-
fened in the artificial setting of rhJ^ue and
rhythm. But a still greater interest can be ex-
tracted from versified experiences of family and
tommunity life, when the WTittr happens to be
of a naive and ingenuous turn of mind. In such
ingenuousness lies the chief value of this thick
book of verses, written by L. B. F. , in some vil-
lage of Northern Xew-York. The writer is a
woman, and what she has to say is put down
with a distinctness and heartiness that could
only have been retained during a life in a small
communitj'. There are signs in many of the
poems that tho authoress was in early life a
marked character in her neigliborbood, some-
thing of a prodigy evtjn at school. How many
years ago that school time was it would be dan-
gerous to reckon. Tho second piece in the book
is a rhj-mett account of the buniirig of .St.
Eustache, Canada. It is labeled "noHctiou."
and was written and spokt'n at a school e.xlii-
bition "inmyearlyschoohlays — 1S37." Thela-st
poems are dated 1877. and that called " Furl
the Flag " is a lament written in February of
this year over the death of liberty, presumably
the result of the defeat i>£ 'I'iUleu in the Presi-
dential campaign. L. B. F. has always been a
vigorous patriot ; she has words of .scorn for
tho British hirelings at the burning of St.
Eustache, and various Presidential campait;ns
seem to have stirred her to verse long before
the days of Hayes. Oii page 73 we liave *'-Y
Song for tho Democracy — Before Eleeiiou,
184 1," where the venerable names of Polk,
Dallas, and Wright appear. Here is a whiiT of
that old excitement that used to prevail at elec-
tions previous to the war : ,
" Hurra, then, for Polk, he's tlio man of the nation,
For t>rtT;on. too. and Tex-Ts" tloct nnnexation.
For It.lUas. hurra I h'.*<i .'i twi;; i>f tie* tree
Of that .stauoch-hearted emblem, tbe 'Old Blek-
ory.' "
The Mexican war furnishes ,inoth*^r theme on
the old text of the soug '-It was a glorious vii'-
tory." t*ri5ouers conlbied on chartres of mur-
der arouse in her that tendeniess which seems
inliereiit in the American heart. x>erha]»s .be-
cause .\naericans are so lacking in aulijeets over
whleli to gush. On page lIL-j wo find "Lines
svjrrestedby a visit in jail to the unforttinate
prisf.iier Biekford, coniiueil on a cliariru of the
muni r i)f Secor." And immediately follo\\in^
arc !i:.i's embodying a wish reported to have
been ii..tde by the mother of the prisoner, Bick-
fonl, after his conviction, and a few ilays be-
fore the execution of his sentence of death.
Beggars furnish the inspiratiou for several
poems, and the verses that have to do witli tlio
tender passion (in others) are numberle.s.s. Per-
sonal love poems are either vague or wantinir.
The names mentioned are aj-pareutly those of
real persons, not at all fictitious, and they are
usually of Iri.sh, Scotch, or French derivation.
There are many stanzas to Ireland, and althou-rh
the authoress seems to be a Protestant, it looks
ao if she wero of Irish descent. This Wi;uld
readily account for her natural dexterity at
rhyming. With the outbreak of the late war,
the authoress assumes on impassioned stand
against the " Abolition Cain," and the efforts to
preserve tho Union. One poem is an invective
against England, cau-sed by a report that Eng-
land was about to ji>in ^vith tho Northern States
to abolish slavery in the South ! But on paL'e
299 her indignation against the arrest of Val-
landigham and others makes her cast aside the
veil of Incognito which was assumed- on the
titie page with the initials L. B. F. It appears
that the husband of the writer was Mr. Flan-
ders, who had been sent to Fort Lafayette before
the arrest of Vallandigliam. Concerning the
latter she writes in 1.803 : *
"Theycmne, like cowards as they were, at lli,;ht,
And stole tlie father from his precious fold^
The people's ehamyion of Truth and Riijht —
Vallaudigham. the honest and tho bold."
In this year she seems to have struck the
highest note ; her detestation of war and vio-
lent sympathy for the South gave her occasion-
ally a good touch of lyric strength. Here is
one on ** Pestilence," which has less wordiness
than falls to the lot of most of the poems written
by women :
" Come on, ye men, with pick and spade.
Thousands of graves 'tis tim«t were made,
For thousands "nealh a Southern sky
Of brothers slain in battle he.
Haste ye, dig quick, no tiine to spare —
Decavint; bodies scent the air—
Lest Pestilence shall soon walk forth,
And other thousands fell to earth.
Throw in a corp.se 1 more haste — another —
Heap high the dirt on friend and brother.
Here ! there ! with bodies fiil tbo trench."
And there is still another on tho return of her
son from the war, broken down and wrecked in
health, which has dramatic pathos. We have
also lines suggested by reading tho petition of
the ladies of the Shenandoah Valley, asking
pardon for Jefferson Davis. It begins with the
following stanza :
" Pardon for him 1 'Wliat sinning hath ho done !
He of the lofty brow and soulful eye i
This wise, this noble, miuch-loved Southron son ?
Pardon for him you ask ? In sooth, for why i"
The Hibemicism in the last line is by no
means solitary. l^Irs. Flanders has the usual
woman writer's weakness in grammar, with
something more than her usual strength in other
particulars. She never relents ; her feminine
wisdom is impervious to the arguments of the
years. Nor does her muse improve as she grows
older, but always remains at about the same
pitch. There are many verses referring to tne
demesne concerns of her friends and fellow-
townsmen, and not a few to members of ber own
family. She mourns the death of two dearly
beloved brothers, and gives the wail of a ho.irt-
broken mother for the loss of children of her
own. Poems of a religious spirit occupy a large
space. Of course, it was a great mistake to
publish so much verse at once ; the very best
should have been winnowed out, and submitted
to some one who could correct errors in gram-
mar and rhythm. But, with so positive a tcin-
iPerament as the writer shows, that would prob-
ably be an Impossibility. But no critic could
ezense such faults, however much he might
^oognixe a vigorous individuality in the writer.

A COSSPIEATOIi'S GRAVE.
A REMINISCENCE OF THE WAR OP THE RE-
BELLION— ^WHERE DR. BOTYLES, OP IN-
DIANA, IS BURIED — HIS NUMEROUS MAR-
RIAGES AND DIVORCES.
A letter from French Lick, Orange County,
Ind., to the Cincinnati Commercial, contains the fol-
lowing :
" A short distance from the Lick, on the Baden
Road, is the former residence of Dr. Bowles. Dr.
Bowles, be it remembered, was at the head of the
Indiana conspiracy to establish a South-western
Confederacy during the late war. and was tried for
treason by a mlHtary commission at Indianapohs,
and sentenced to be hanged along with MilUgan
and Horsey. President Johnson, through the in-
tercession of Gov. Morton, comrauted their sen-
tence to imprisonment for life, aud, after some ex-
Eerienco within the gloomy walls of the Colniu-
us Penitentiary, the war being over, they were
released by application to the civil courts, and
doffed the conir'iet garb to assume that of mart\T.
The treason trial was one of the causes cel^bres of the
Vnited States. Bowles and iWWgan are dead. Hor-,
sey, a man of -very iuferi^ intellect, is champing
acorns in tho obscure recesses of Martin County.
The Bowles residence is a large two-story building,
with a gable front to the road, and wings ou either
side — veranda ou both stories of the gable centre. It
stands on a hill-side on a hiijh foundation of loose, un-
cumented stones. . The front yard is overgrowm with
rank, red clover. The honso is unpainted. Like
ev6r>-thuig else that Bowles nnderlook. it was
left uufiniahed. The only job he ever com-
pletely tinished was that "of dying. The hon^^e
Ls siirroxmdt;d by various quaint-iookint: outbuild-
ings, the uses of winch are a jrazzle to the
pas.'^ers-by. EvRrj'thing about the premises is dismal
and sombre. The window-curtains, of suicidal blue,
are always closely drawn, nnd save llie mother hf lis,
clucking to thrifty broods, there are few signs of life
idjout tho premises. Here the widow — the tliird wifi'.
divorce having sej.arated the first two — lives in rigiil
seclusion. She uever calls on the neighbors, never
goe.^ to cmireh or to the little store at Baden, never
iroes nnj-where, in fact, excejft to Paoli to consult her

' 'Walking up tn the house, ascending the liigh steps,
and ringing the bell, it was shortly jmswered by a
tall lady, aiiparently about 5.5 years old, who ndniit-
tfd that she was Mrs. Bowles. She was frigidly i)o-
lite. 'W'ewishto see the tomb." 'Do yon wish to
see the inside /' 'No, only the outside.' *'You have
iny i»ermission.' Tlie tomb stands on the hill-side, to
the right of the house, and is inclosed by a rough
board "fence, whitewashwL It is biult ofhewnlinie-
stone, and is witliout pretense of ornament, save a
shifldonthe front, bearing the siuqde inscription,
•Howies.' witli 10 stars on it and around it. It Jias
an irou door and little grated windows around tho
top. It is overgrown with brambles, and while we
were standinir at the front looking at- the inscription
a rabbit jumped through a crack of the fence, and
scurried through the brambles, his white tailgleani-
ing amid the green as he went. The tomb, which is
lar-je enough for . an elephant, must have been quire
costly, even iu a country which abounds in stone.
Thi- icreat conspira**ir w,is at considerable paiu-s and
expense to proride a suitable place in which to mt.
" Dr. Bowles' life was a checkered one, aside from
his more recent experiences. As C<donel of the Sec-
ond Indiana at Buena Vista, he was disgraceil by
JeiT Davis and Zachar^' Taylor in tlieir reports of
that battle, and made the ^<'apegoat for the sins of
nit-n who ran away to fight another day. and were
ashamed of it. I shall alwavs believe that Col.
Bowles was hardly dealt with. 5ln was a bungler,
but not vs.'"eplional!y con-ardly. Evtry man who is
not a fool, kicking the tdiadini: stimulus of personal
rage, is a coward in battle, and the man who "says lie
isn"t' is A liar as well as a coward. Pi ide alone keep.s
them from turning tail. Kach man would like to run.
but h^tt'S to bo solitary m the movement. But wht-n
a resjiertable nun. ber. startled into temporary
furgft fulness of their fears of bein;r brandt.*d :«
co\v;irds. start to run. the rest sladly embrace the
opportunity, and all run, and this makes a panic.
It was tliis that struck Col. Bowles' men at Buena
Vista, and ho lacked the persenrd magnetism to
rally them. They demanded a \ictim, aud lie was
sacrifice*!. To the day of his death Col. Bowles was
bitterly, nnrelcntiuelv, and profanely vindictive in his
feelings toward Jfff Davis, and yet' such wa** Ids iu-
veterate hatred of Kepubltcanism. tiiat be went soul
and body into the treasonable cnspiracy of which
tieff. Davis was tho head. A gentleman slightly
bitten with tlie same spider that set Bowles to dan-
cing his treasonable cachuca, inft»rms me that lio was
as ainljitious as Lucifer, and even dreamed of bt-ing
l*residunt of the great South-western Confederacy,
whi'hwasio rise ou the ruins of the Federal if oV-
crnment. Had he sueceedtd he would have merited
the gratitude of the new oligandiy.
"Dr. Bowles was a remarkable man, pliysicallv. He
was si.^ feet four inches high, with a large frame,
white hair, a solemn espresKJon. raid a hand like a
ham. He had warm friends and hearty enemies. He
was a hadly balanced man, but nevtrthelirss had soma
e-'timablo qualities. He was always \i\ litigation.

one Barrett Ray, from said Union County, Tenn.,
who made oath in due form that said mule' was his

si* lu thereof by certain carpet-bag "methods iu
direct contravention of the eighth coimnandment.
At the same time and place came also one Robert
Love, of said Union County, Tenn., who made a
similar affida^^t in regai^to said Noah Reece and tho
gray horse— whereupon the said ^VilUam and Xoah

low state of morality have been attendant upon this
sort of life for years. At their recent auction of
three days their old famiture was sold to the amotint
of $440. and new bought to replace it. Tliey seem
to be hone.'it in btisiness transactions, but in bad odor

to be the sentiment of the neigliborhood. The air is
full of stories, which, if not all true, are a disgrace to
a hill town of New-England. Designing men seem to

The Middletown Press has the following ac-
count of the mammoth lately discovered in an Or-
ange County Swamp ; " Mr. Saruuel AVilcox, Friday,
while mowing on his farm near Slato Hill, Orange
County, found cropping out of the black dirt a hirgo
sktill hone of a mammoth animal of some by-gone
period. On digging about. Mr. Wilcox exhumed also
a rib boue a foot long, and sw'eral pieces of the back-
bone. The skull bone is 10 inches broad across the
face, and about ItJ inches iu length. The shape is
that of a shield, except that the points are extended
several inches. The face of the skull has two pairs
of cavities Lu it as if for eyes and ears, and bears evi-
dence of having had two horns broken off, the nmrk
of one being above the other in the line of the centre
of the head. The other bones were found back of
the skull and only a few feet from it- The swamp
where the bones were found, until this year, has
been mostly under water, but last Spring was drained,
aud it was mowed this season for the first time in a
number of years. The place where the bones lie is
about three rods from the edge of the black muek,
and it was headed toward the opposite side, as if the
animal had undertaken to cross the swamp. The
bones are in a good state of preservation, ilr. AVil-
cox proposes to excavate for the remainder of tho
skeleton. Some years ago the skeleton of a masto-
don was fotmd on the adjoining Full^rton farm, now
owned by Mr. Thomas Farley., Several skeletons
have been found iu the swamps of Orange County,
which seems to have been a favorite camping-ground
for the huge creattixes that lived when the earth was
new."

now A PARTY AT REVERE BEACH, MASS.,
HAD THEIR PLEASURE IIARRED ON THURS-
DAY.
From ike Boston Journal, Aug. 3.
A mysterious case of poisoning occurred at
Revere Beach yesterday to a picnic party of 12 per-
sons from Newton Centre, by which their day's ex-
cursion was brought to an unhappy and serious ter-
mination. The party, consisting of Mr. and Sirs.
Daniel H. Knowles, four daughters and a little son,
and Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Ward, two datighters, and
one son, left their homes in Newton Centre in the
morning aud drove to Revere Beach in private teams,
to spend the day in picnic stj-le. The party were in
perfect health when they started, and on arriving at
the beach occupied a porti'iu of the grove adjoining
the Ocean House. At noon they partook of a dinner
which they had brought with them, consislhig of cold
ham, cheese, bread' and butter, and gi-een apples,
while they drank some tea which they made.
The partv strolled over the bench for several lionrs.
and ab»mt o <>'clock, returned to the grove, when sev-
eral of the children complained of being .sick. Sub-
sequently, tho cliUdren commenced to vomit, and
appeared to be in terrible paiiv In a short time all
of the party, except a little son and daughter of Mr.
Knowles, were taken sick in the same maimer. The
sick persons were soon unable to help themselves,
and lay writhuig on the grass iu. the grove. ap]»ar-
enily in great agony, when their condition was ilis-
covered by other jiersons in the Wciuity. Infnruia-
tion of the affair spread to the Ocean
lluusp, and the guests hurried to the lis-
sih.t}iuce of the helpless ones. A large crowd
soon gathered. The sick ones, iininbering 10 per-
sons, were taken np one by one and cari-i<"l in a half
uiji-4m^tioi:s and fainting condition to the Ocean
House, where they were taken ••haTge of by t)ie pm-
lirietoTK, Messj-s, Tavieton & West. A iuiuiIkt of
rooms were gi^en up to them, and a messenger was
dispatched to Revere for a physician. In a short
time several of tho ddldren recovereil so'as to be
able to walk about, but the other members of ih«
party still remained in a half fainting condition, jukI
vomited intermittently. Th.ey remained iu this con-
dition for some time, and at a late hour last evening
h;;d sjo far recovered that uo.fatal consequences were
feared. ,
The cause of their strange illnes? is unknown. The
cheese which thi-y ate was ver>- (dd and musly. while
The lifim was aUo very old. All of the party, includ-
ing tiiose who were' not sick, partook «if The ha:n.
while only a few ate the cheese. <Jnly tlie children
ate the green apjiles. The supposition, therelore. is
tliat the parly were poisoned by tlie ham.
as all but two wiio ate it be'-ume sick. Xo
clams or fish were partaken of 1-y any of the
party. Several of the si'-k pL-r«riis-, ii])on
iK-ing questioned, slated that the ham ta-t.-d
vi-ry fpieer wlien they ate it, and uprm :in ex-
nmiuatiou lieiiig »lad^^ shortly after of wh»t remained
of the ham it was found to be apparently of a very
]i'ior quality on account of old a;re. Tii'e s\Tn])toms
I 'f the p'lisoned ones consisted (irst of vomiting aud
then fatntnes's and dizriness in the hr-.nd. Finally
tlse streiigih of the parlies wholly deserted them and
they fell helpless on the irntss. It it a simrular f;iet
l)i;tt the cl.ihiren recovered qnicker than their
jiaivnts. and sutfered less. The children were the
first to be taken ill. and were sick only about »u

CASE — THE NAM^: OP THE COUNTESS
LAMBERTIXI'S 3I0THER TO BE REVEALED
WHEN' THE PROPER TIME CO.MES.
A Special dispatch from Kome. dated July
22. iu the London Times, s-tys : "The lirst public sit-
ting lu-the Aatonelli case was held yesterday. The
court was ornwded to suffucatiou. and anion:; others
many of the leading members of the Italian Bar
were present. The discussiou was principaUy sus-
tained by Signor Tajani ou the part of the plaintiff,
and by Signer Bacchettoni for the defendants, and
chiefly turaed on fno question as to whether
the Countess Lambertitii, haviug, as tlie de-
fense asserted, a recoguized civil pos;iiian, could
seek natural jiarentage when she was known
as the daughter of legitimate parent^. Hie de-
fense further niaintahied tliat the three eldtr
witnesses were in perfect health, and that, conse-
quently, no question vt urgeney refjuired their de-
positions. Sigtior Tajani mamiaiued thai ilie mere
bajitismal n.visier d"M not constitute a legally-
established civil position as required hytheltaUnu
law, aud that it only certified the fact of that
sacrament having been soIemnizeiL He 4pioted som^i
writers on canon, law, particularly Cardinal ili
Luca. to show tiu-.t bcpiismal regisn'ation lidurded
no proof of birth, and that, consequeniiv, the
Countess Larabertiul was entitled to a rule per-
mitting tho examination of the wliuessos she re-
quiix-d. atid who. he stated, were inSrm. The court
will pronounce its decision upon this minor question "
on Tuesday or Thursday next. In the course of the
discussion Signor Bacchettoni endeavored to force
Signer Tajaui to reveal the name of the hidy said to
be the.Cour.tessLambertini'sm other. SignoV Tajimi
rtplied that the point now to be established was the
paternal origin of the Countess, and her right to rank
as Cardinal Antonelli's heiress. As regarded the
mother. That was a matter for after cousideiii-
tiou. Tho pluintift's counsel refr:i:ned from
nu'Utiouiug lier name, because, his eiients wero
anxious to a\oid the X'^^^ut'-il consequences which
would inevitably follow, involving persons otherwise
not interested iu lue case. XeveilJieles.s, if ii could
not be avoided, he should, when the time came, bo
prepared to ivveal her name, k•a^-ing the respi.'nsi-
bility to his adversaries. Who could doubt, he Juiked,
that tlic Countess w«s the Cardinal's daughter, when
tl'.ero was proof th.it he had expended more tlian
2.000.0t>0 francs (2,0Gl,y7i; francs) ou her up-
brincing and education.
"The statement made bythc ItaUe that the mother
of the Countess was of Irish origin, and now married
to a-person in a distinguished pusition. is, I am in-
formed, Inexact as regards her natiouahtv."

THE UMBRELLA EING
Against Keep and the People.
"KEEPhas-killed the shirt business with his superior
smrts and low prices, and we are determined to keep
KEEP out of the umbrella bnsiness."
•■ If you sell him any goods wo countermand our orders
and withdraw our patronaec."
This is what tho LTmbrella Ring say to manufacturers
of nmbrolla clothe and furniture.
Slanufacturcrs of umbrella f umltnre ar© generally men
of Rinall capital — eomplfltflv under control of the Um-
brella Ring. They cannot ajonl to act independently.
Tills is not Rurpriain^; but that some of the largest com-
ml<5?!ion liousfiH In this Citv are equally under the thumb
of the Umbrella Ring is almost incredible.
KEEP determicel'to makounibrella<t, even irithonttho
consent of tlie Umbrella King, and now Is prepared to
furnish any quantity, mace strictly in conformity with
KEEP'S plan — "Tho very boit good* at the very lowest
price."
KEEP'S gingham umbrella.*!— tho very bo^t.Sl each.
These are the best that can be produced. KEEP'S silk
nmhrellas will soon be ro.vlv — equallv cheap.
^Ve are determined to show the Vmbrella Ring what
KEEP can do.
Now. to make as cranoral a distribution as possible, wo
will supply the trade at co-*t,
A comnarLion of KEEPS umbrellas and prices will
show a dlfferonco tn their favor of soma 50 per ront. No
wonder tl^e Umbrella Ring wanted to keep KEEP out.
KEEPS opibndtaa will not bo conflneil to any special par-
ties, but supplied to the trade at large.

A-MERCSANT TAKES CffLOSAL,
COIi. JAS(£S A. GBOTEB FOUND DEAD XSt HIS
BED AT THE GRAND CENTBAL HOTKl/— KO
REASON ASSIGNED FOB THE ACT.
CoL James A. Grover, a boarder daring the
past 7«ar at the Grand Central Hotel, was fotmd
dead yesterday monilxig in his room from
the effects of an over lose of chloraL
Col Grover originally came from Colombus.
Ohio, where his father now resides. He
was a man of commanding presence, 42 years of age,
a widower, and did bnstness in this City as a com-
mission merchant. The circnmstances of his death
are rather Involved In mystery, as it is not known
wiietlier it was the result of an accident or deliberate
siiiddd. His habits were, according to the hotel
managers, comparatively abstemious, and apparently
he was not financially embarrassed. A sifzuificant
fact is that some time ago he requested a
friend of his to take charge of his remains
in the event of his being found dead
somo dny- Coroner Flanagan held an inquest yester-
day afternoon at the hotel. Jane Hlggins. a cham-
bermaid on the eighth floor, testified that she
icnocked at the door of his room at 9 A. M., and re-
cf-iving no response went in. Discovering that Coi.
Grover was apparently dead, she informed the super-
intendent who summoned a physician. The
latter pronounced him dead. Mr. H. H. Pow-
ers, rashier of the hotel, testified tnat
tiie de*-es.«ed hnd boarded at the Grand Central
for a year ; in the estimation of witness he was a
man of r<>mperato habits ; was not aware that he was
iji the habit of taking narcotics ; about three weeks
atrn Mr. Powers thought that (Srover was over-
fitimubit ing himself : on Thur!»day evening he acted
ratjier .<;tranirely. and was somewhat stupid aud
l.^o^^sL' ttn Friday evening, when last seen, but -he
spc.k? rationally. Deputy Coroner Miller. ' who
made the antojisy of the body, found that
jie«th resulted from an overdose of chloral.

of the d'»**«,ised wa-i found to be greatly congested,

himself while laboring under temporary aberration

J DE U BERATE FRENCH^r AX'S DEATH
AN OLD MAX's PEAR OP SICKIfESS HE EXDS
HIS LIFE TO AVOID LINGERIXG PAIN— A
LETTER TO HIS LANDLORD.
Jean Baptiste Marius, a Frenchman, af^ed 74,
pominitted suicide yesterday morning at No. 173
.Eleecker-atreet. Mr. Mariua came to this country
about fdx years ago, and had since been engaged in
the importation of wines. He kept his store in the
basement of the bouse in which he died, and he
roamed on the third floor. He was an unmarried
man of very singular habits. He used to spend the
^vhole day in his store, from 7:30 A. M. until 5:30 In
the afternoon, at which hour he invariably closed his
establishment. He paid hlsiandlord$l aweekforsup-
plying him with three eggs every day, and these eggs,
.^aten with wine, constituted all the nourishment he
t*K>k during the day. so far as Is known. After clos-
ini; up his store in the evening it was his habit to go
to some good restaurant and get a hearty supper,
aftt'r which he went to bis roomr and spent the time
there until 10 o'clock, when he retired. Marius was
very reticent about his personal history, but his
tandloi^ thinks that he was a Communist, who- was
compelled to leave France to avoid trouble. He was
fastidious: In his habits and extremely particular
about hi.s dress. He always seemed to have mooev,
and paid his bills promptly, frequently in gold. Mr.
I)idien, the landlord, was vesterday surprised at not
freeing Martnsat his business up to 10 o'clock, and
going to his room, found him in the agonies of
death. On the bnreaai were found two bottles,
one containing laudanum and the other morphine.
There were afco found focr letters, one addressed to
Mr. Didien. one to Mr. Raptiael I>ryfns. No. 353
"^^'est Nineteenth-street : one to a nephew, Prof.
Guichard, of Not 958 Sixth-avenue, President of the
French Benevolent Society, and the other to X<con
Laguerre. Etude I>nfour. Boulevard Polssonnierre,
Paris. Dr. Early, who was rammoned, could render
CO assistauce, and Marius shoT^ly after died. The-
following is a translation of the letter to Mr. Didien :
D«tr 3/r, Diditn :
I am very norry tiiat I am about to give you so much
trooble. on uccount of the determinarton I have taken.
Twent}' days ft««> I took a mind to commit this act. but I
pat it off ontil now. that I might finish my month and
pay you for th** foJl time. For a long time I h»ve not
been very well. Mv I^ks have commenced to swell, and
50 have iny feet. iTiese are to me certain signs of a com-
\nz fever. "It is the beginning of the end." I would
rauier iro now than enter a long period of eickneas. I
have left other letters, which -yau will pleasts be Idnd

DEATH PREFERRED TO PRISON.
i LOKO ISI^AXD FARMER HANOS HIMSELF I>T A
CORN-CRIB.
About 20 years ago Gerard Harbes, a resi-
dent of Manetto Hill, Long Island, was falsely ac-
cused and imprisoned in the Queens County Jail , for*
tlio murder of Raliff Voorhees, of Plain Edge, for
which crime a Scotchman named Thomas Atchcson
was afterward hanged. Daring Ms imprisonment
Earbes attempted to commit Buidde by hanging him-
self in his cell, but was cut down in \\me to save.his
life by George S. Dowoaing. then Sheriff of the county.
"What Harbes failed to do then he accomplitbed a few
days ago. Ho was under examination before Justice
Davis on a charge of assault and battery upon Peter
t*ievers. one of his neighbors, on Monday, and at
noon wa< allowed to go home to dinner, after which
time nothing was seen of him until Wednesday morn-
ing when tus son saw him hangtng from a beam in a
com-crib. He was the owner of a well-kept farm of
40 acres, and was considered well to do. Doubtles.s
the fear of going to jail caused him to commit suicide.

END OF THE SILK WE A VERS' STRIKE.
The strilriiig silk weavers of Paterson, N. J.,
m at least the great majority of them, will return to
-work to-morrow. Yesterday Messrs. Solellac &
^on signed the scale of prices which the weavers
offered in compromise to work at, and this example
te to be followed by nearly all the other manofac-
rCoroTs as soon as they may have the opportunity of
lymf erring with the men. The first manu-
^etnrer to accede to the emplojea' nUn was ex-
playor John Byle, of the Mtmay SUll, wnoae weavvrs.

week, but his is not. strictly sx>eaking. a ribbon fac-
tory, and hence he could not be correctly included in
the list of mill owners who iiad taken the stand
against the weavers in this emergency. By to-mor-
row night it is believed that most of the mil^ now
closed will be running fuJl time, and Paterson wiD
again have at least one industry that Is not £n pros-
tration by the panic. It is estimated that the loss to
Paterson through the strike amounts to not less tlum
$150,000. ■
THE SEWLNG GIRLS' EXCURSION,
AMPLE PREPfeATIONS, BUT A LIGHT ATTEND-
ANCE— THE REASONS FOR THIS — A PLEAS-
ANT EXCURSION FOR THOSE WHO DID GO.
The free excursion to Rockawayof the sewing
girls of New- York and Brooklyn took place yester-
day. In point of arrangements the excursion was all
the advertisements promised ; in point of attendance
it was nowhere. It will be remembered that 5lr. R.
Cornell White had assigned the large steamer Colura-
bidfor the trip; 2,500 free tickets were to be dis-
tributed ; refreshments were to be provided gratis on
the boat, and the hotels nt Rockaway Beach had
madejprovlsion for the entertainment of the excur-
siouiss in the way of free chowder and bathing
dresses. Each hotel was to accommodate
as many as it conveniently could, and the
large hotel at the middle lauding would take
charge of 300. "When tho free tickets came to
be counted on the Col'.imbia on her return home in
the afternoon it was found that instead of 1.500 or
2,54.>0. ns some samruine persons had anticipated, the
' number of semnj: iiirls who had availed themselves
of the opportunity for a free excursion was less than
600. Afl the Columbia carried her ordinary Satur-
day's complement of fxcun*inuisis in addition, it
may well Ije suppwiserl that there wa-s nothing about
the crowd on board to di.st^^i<*h it as a speoial ex-
oursiou i>arty. The hotel? Ht the beach were not
CiiUed upon to any extf-nt to dispense free
viands : in fact, some of the hotel people
seemeil to be patiently e.xperiing the excursion lone
after its arrival; but probably there was quite a
livelv demand for hathine-dresses. judging by the
nnmoer of people tumblinc about in the surf. The
majority of the girls who came aboard with thei ex-
cursion ticket." seemed to be from 14 to 16 years of
ace; there were comparatively few above that ace.
The fact is. .sewini; eirls. as a rule, eam^ comparative-
ly good wages. Girls who go out sewing in families
get $1 50 or .f2 per day and their board; those who
work in large clothing and dry ^oods establishments
earn from $8 to $1.t T>er week. It is clear that the
loss of a day's waces wouM be of more moment to
them than the free ride. .>nncp the fare i.* only.50
cents. Sunday is s day on which they are at libe^y.
and they can go on that day. pay their way, and "not
be the loser. Of the ^rls who did go yesterday, it is
frobable that the majority of them earned oiilyjtlie
•west rates, and the excursion to them was tmdoubt-
edly a real boon. 'Nothini- could l-e said exct*Dt iii
S-ai-so of the arran(;etDents made for the girls who
d not come.
Sandy Spencer, actin;? on his well-known motto of
"Li\*e and Let Live." pn»vided whole barrels of lem-
onade, snd, beaminj; with jollity and benevolence,
invited all the women aud children aboard the boat
to drink all they wanted — which they did. The bfas.'*
band on the upper deck puffed and puffed with scarce
an interna i.'ision : ajiowerfuJ srleo club of tiiree voices
entertained the excnrsioni.stB in the forward part:
the refreshments not on the free list were plentijful,
and of moderate price, and the weather was abso-
lutely delightful. It Bay l»e of some Interest! to
know that the Coluinbia. which makes the trip to
Rockaway every dav of tho werk. carries women and
children almost exclusively, hence it is known asjth^
women and children'.^ boat. Jlondays and Saturqaj-s
are the liehtest days. Tuesdav.s and* Fridays moder-

THE EXCISE AGlTATIOSi
LIQUOR SOLD AS USCAL WITHOUT LICEN'SE^
THE ** GEXERAL ORDER*' AND HOW IT
WAS ENFORCED — THE WHISKY SELLERS
MOURStSG FOR PURROY. Il
Xothing specially new wa.s developed io [ex-
cise matters yesterday. Out of the 7.000 unlicensed-
liquor dealers in this City, about a dozen-
were arrested on Friday for violation i of
the law. The much tjilked of "General Or-
der" says' that it shall be the duty of the |Po-
lice to arrest, " without warrant," all penJons
selling without a license, but this seemied to l)e
treated on all hands as a pleaiuint little fiction — good
enough for the temperance people, but a trifle [too
extreme to be seriously enforced. It would have
been hard to find a precinct yesterday In which hsr-
rooms were not openly doing business in flagrant
violation of the law and directly under the nose.ij of
the Police. AVithin a stone's throw of
head- quarters a Times reporter counted I 10
saloons, almost all of them unlicensed, aud all
doing a thrinng trade in ales, wines, and liquors.
Burly patrolmen swung their clubs idly in front of
the open doors, within plain hearing of the clink of
glasses inside, but no move was made to stoplthe
open and palpable infractions of the law visibl^ on
every hand. The execution of the "general order"
yesterday was, if possible, a greater farce than
the sensational raids of last fjummer, in
which the formality- of arresting and bailing
irresponsible barkeepers wa.s gone through with so
many iBtindred times. Many of the dealers openly
ridiculed the idea of the Police interfering with thiem.
"I have the receipt for my SoO license money. " saida
saloon-keeper on Tliirdavouue to a Timbs 'reporter
la.st evening, "and Justice Huify decided ^oM, year
that that wa.s enoiuih to protect me from arrest ttntil
the board decide<l for or BRnlnst my application." He
was reminded " that the majority of the Justices,
took a different %iew of the -'.-tse now. "Welljlet
them do so if they want to." was the ansilrer, 'jwe
have money enough to fiirht the thing out. Because
a man is a liquor ri'-uler. that doc? not dcnrivc hiiii of
his rights." The Gcniuitis are not so rnurh exercised
about the new consirufiii-Ti of the law as their <*on-
freres of other nutionnliiie.'*. the sale of ule and beer
not beine affected by the Omrt ?of Appeals deci-
sion. If the Polife attempt any general inter-
ference with them to-morrow, however, tliero
will be a renewal of the " iiuliCTiation " meetings and
agitation of last Sunnner. The (ierman r>emocrals
say that Tammany dare nor permit a repetilioii of
the Snnilay barassinc; to wiiicli they were Subjetfte^I
la.st SnmmVr. "This is nn off year. "' said onei of
their number yesterday. " and -lofin Kelly don"t care
alKtut et'tting the (icrmans d"wn on him again, as in
IftTo." The f.ict that the interests of Tammany
Hall are largely idi-ntit-al with those of the liquor
deiilTs also makes the I;iUcr confident that jthe
trouble, if auv. -^Till he -•'hort lived. Among the bhort-
hnired gin-mill proprietors there is a pe nenti lament
that Tammany is not botier represented Inthebofti-d.
" If we only had I'urroy thf;Te." said one of tbem
yesterday, '■ we wouldn't be in tiiis fix." A numl>er

AMUSIXO IXCIDENT AT A BRIDAL PAHTT.
Last Thtirsday evening a member of th« Slk
Association, of Brookl^m, E. D., was married to a
yotmg lady residing on Humboldt-street. In the
height of the festivities the joker of tho associaLiou
by some means got possession of the bride's tiny
satin slipper. This he circled about his head as the
cruests. attracted by the bride's timid acream,
began to gather about him. "How much, ladie» and
gentlemen, " said he, " am I offered for this Jewell"
The guests, fully appreciating the joke, freely made
bids. Upon a bid of $70 bemg made, the amufceur
auctioneer fci^ed to be displeased, and exclaimed:
"Why, the little bunch of ribbons on it is worth
more than that." The bid having been raised to
$125, it is said by an admirer of the voung bride,
the members of the association themselves begaai to
compete for the possession of the slipper, and with a
call of $150 gained the prize. The fortunate gentle-
men intend to cover it with a glass case aud piace it
in a prominent position in their club-rooma. During
this bidding the blushing bride and discontented
groom stood utterly dumfounded on the outskirts
of the crowd of laughing guests. The occurrence is
said to have aroused the groom's mafhcma^cal
ardor, and he is reported to be studiously engaged in
endeavoring to solve the problem: "If the little
slipper is worth $150, how much is the litUegirl
herself worth ? ' |

AXD-A-QUARTER MILE RACE — VIRQIN-
inS, PIQUE, AND LtJCIPEE WIN THE
cItHER races— a CASE OP SHARP PRAC-
TICE—POOL-SELLINO ON MONDAY'S RACES.
SAftATOOA., N. Y., Aug. 4.— The first regtilar
me- ting of the Saratoga Racing Association termin-
ated to-day with a series of races never excelled in
the bnlliancy of the finishes. There was an almost
clfjndless sky, with a refreshing mountain breere
which tempeird the heat of the sun, and brought
'health and refreshment on the world below." The
prt^ramme being of an attractive nature there was
no diminution in the attendance of spectators. The
grand; stand presented the same animated
specti^ie as ou the prevloiis days, and the only au*
noyanjce was the dust Idcked up by the horses when
they pa.^sed along the stretch. The day was most
disastrous to tJie knowing division, as only one of tho
favori]tes succeeded in catohlng the Judge's eye first.
The i^atest disaster of tho day was the defeat of
Tom Ochlltr^o by'ft'hisper, this being the third time
he has l>een beaten during the meetinK. Thisof cotirse
elatedi the Western jnen who expected to catch the
big hwrse when he got stale. Ochiltree has run too
many -hard races over long distances of ground, and
wants' time to recuperate- Virginiua captured the
mile dash in very fast time, and the favorite, Rbsda-
manthus, got no better than third place. The two-
year old race was won by Pique, and Lucifer wound
up the day by winning the selling race. Thus the
East and West stood even— each winning two races.
The success of tlie Western men so far, will encour-
age them to send strong stables here next year.
: DETAILS OF THE RACING.
THE MILE DASH.
Thejday's entertainment began with a doffh of one
mile, for all ages, with allowances to beaten maidens,
whichlbronght out P. Lorrillard'sb. g. Bombast, J.
E. Brewster & Co. "s blk. c Alrginins, Dwyer
Brothers' blk. b. Rhad amanthna, and Oden Bowie's
ch. f . !Mary. Vera Cruz was also entered, and he
was the Tavorite in the combinations, bat there was
some sharp practice somewhere and much cnm-
nieut. At the last moment the Western
colt was withdrawn, and eonsenuently fill
bets on him were lost tnat were
plav or pay. The colt waa backed very freely, last
night in the Imoks, and Williams, the owner of Vera
Craz, was present and saw people put their money
on him, but gave no iaHmatton that he intended to
withdraw from the race. Actions like this bring
disgrace upon the turf, snd it should be the rule that
in racen which close the day before the content, the
entries must start, unlesa they are excused by the
judges for eood and sufficient reasons. Stu:h bare-
faced robbery will bring its ptinisbment bye
and by. In the pools just before
fore the start Rhadamantbus brotight $ti50. Bom-
bast $115, Virginius and Mary $4o. Peter Walden
officiated as starter, and at the first attempt the
horseH were well t<:^ther, but the flag did not fall,
and there was a murmur of surprise, as they could
not have received a better start. Bombast was ob-
stinate and Brown« his trainer, was obliged to use
the whip on him, to which the colt responded with
vigfjroua kicks. On the fourth attempt the^r were
sent away to a good start with Virginius
and Mary together, Bombast lapping the latter
with :Kbadamanthus. As Uiev ran to the turn
Bombast sliot to the front, ana going around it he
was a length in front of Virginius, who was the same
distance in advance of Rhadamanthus, who was
lapped at the saddle-girth by Mary. Borbee sent
Vu^nius along, and when they reached the quarter
pole he was at the saddle-girth of Bombast and was
leading Khadamanthiu a length, the latter being the
same distance before Maiy. (ioing along the back
stretch. Bombast kept cutting out the work in fine
style and drew away from \irginius, while In the
meantime. Evans set to work with Rhadaman-
thus, and with a rush the latiter passed Virginius
and led him half a length, while Mary was at the
quarter of VtrginiuS. When they had reached the
half-mile pole Bombast was leaains; a length, and
Rhadamanthus waa showinK his neck in front of
Virginiixft, who was still half a length before Mary.
Round the lower turn the race continued to be very
brilliant, and won enthusiasm from the excited
spectators. The pace was very fost^ and the
brush; for the lead one of the beet ever
witnessed. Mary closed up to the shoulder of
Vinmiius. and the pair, yoked, made their way to the
head of Rhadamanthus, and then the trio closed np on
Bombast, who led them half a length. 'When they
turned into the home stretch, however. Bombast and
Virgiiiius came out from the bunch, and In the
straight work the race lay between the two. Bom-
bast stmtnrled gamely to maintain the lead, and had
it by a neck past the furlomc pole : but Virginius
overtook him at the distance stand, and, after a rao.«*t
exciting tlni-sh, won the race by a n(N?k. Bombast
was four lengths ahead of Rhadamanthus, who beat
Mary for ihml place by a neck. Time— l:4ii^— *
very fast race.
THK FIVE Fl'RLONOS.
The; second event on the card was a dash of five
f urloi^s, for maiden --year old.^, and "seven young-
sters Sported silk on the occasion, namely : Charles
Reed's Bridget. F. Smythe's Telephone, Pierre Loril-
lard's Pique, D. D. Withers Lou Lanier, D. Mc-
Daniel's ch. f., by War Dance, and Thomas
Purj-Qar's Clifton. In the pools befor«t the
start '- Pique was the favorite at $«2.*i.
Withers' filly bringlna $165 Clifton $160. Lou
Laniet $155, and the field $15d. They were i^rted
half i^ay down the fractional track and noon got
away.! As they were nmuing obliquely from the
si)ect(ttors it was hard to tell which of the lot was
in front. When they turned into the regular track
at tbB half-mile pole, however, McDanlel's ftliy
Fliowed herself in front of Clifton, who was
just ■ leading the others in a ruck, with
Telephone two lengths in the rear. Wheif
they ' came round the lower turn, Mc-
I)anie1's filly. Pique, Lou Lanier, and Clifton were
toj;eilier. but when they turned into the home stretch
I'ioue and Withers' Ally came out from the others,
ana had their followers beaten a 1^°&. '^'''^7 from
home. -A.t the furlong pole Pique and Withers' flllv
were head and head, but Withers* filly could not
maintain her position, and Pique comlns forward,
won the race by a full length in l:04i3. Withers'
filly second, four lengths ahead of McDanlel'B filly
third t Lou Lanter fourth, jnst leading the others.
; THK TWO MILES AND A QUABTEB.
Next came the great event of the day, the two
miles |and a quarter race, which had seven nomina-
tion.H,: but only five of them faced the starter,
namely : Charles Reed's ch. f. Athlene, 4 years ;
Georj^ L. LoriUard's b. h. Tom Ochiltree, 5 years ;
F. Carter's ch. c Jenifer, 4 years ; J. T. Williams'
b.h. W'lisp*'"! *^y^*'™' andCarr &Co.'ab. t Viceroy, 4
y earsj They all had seven pounds oflf. and Ochiltree was
a most pronounced favorite, selllnjj at two to
one ; over the field. The Western division
backed the field strongly, and although Wtiisper
was to give Tom two pounds in weight, it was gener-
ally t^ii that the great horse was a little st«le and
needed rest. They were started, as usual In races of
two and a quarter miles, from the three-quarter pole,
and when the Hag fell they were apparently on even
tcrrasl. hut little Athlcne started out to make the
nmnipi; vJi usual, and was followed otit by Jenifer,
with iOchiltive pulling, in the third place. When
they treached the stand Jenifer was a head in
front i of Athlene, and she three lengths In
ftdvanice of Tom Ochiltree, who was four lengths
ahead! of Viceroy, who was just ahead of Whisper.
As thby went around the turn, Jenifer did not have
spewl] Vuouch to taiie the tra«t and Athlene went
nhea^ and le«l a length and a half, but at the quarter
pole sfhe was only a length in front of Jenifer, who
was iiJ length before C)chUtTee, and he a length ahead
of Viceroy, followed by AVhisiJer, who was running
well in hand. As they ran along the back stretch,
A I h lejne increased her pace, and she soon
opentnl a gap of three lengths, with Jenifer second,
]upi>ed at the quarter by Tom Ochiltree, who was
threoj lengllis before Viceroy and Whisper. "When
they got nearer the half-mile pole, Ochiltree went past
Jenifer, and when they reached that point Athlene
was showing the way two lengths ahead of Ochiltree,
who was a length before Jeniior, he being the same
distarice ahead of Viceroy, while Whisper remaned
two lengths In the rear, still running well in hnnd.
There was not much change as they ran round the
lowei* turn, but on the home stretch Ochiltree got a
little Closer to Athlene, who finished the first mile
and a'quarter of the race a length and a half in front
of Tr^m Ochiltree, who was four lengths away from
Viceroy, who waa l«»ading ^\^liflper by a neck. When
they tan round the turn again, Athlene increased her
leaa tio a couple of lengths, by which distance she
passed the quarter pole. In the meantime Jenifer
and Viceroy, runnina; up, had lapped Ochiltree, and
Whisper was in the rear again. ^Vhen they ran along
the back stretch again. Athlene showed only a length
in front of OchUtree, and the pace was considerably
increased, and Viceroy held the third place at Ochil-
tree's tail, Jenifer fo\irth, but beginning to drop out
of the race, while Whisper was inching np for his
finjd, iun. Before reaching the half-mile pole, Ochil-
tree I had captured Athlene, and led her a neck,
while whisper had run up, and woe lapping
the filly, whue Viceroy showed distress, and Jenifer
was several lengths In the rear, having a good view
of th^ race. Wnen they came round the lower turn
the eficitement began, as Athlene dropped back
alight3y, aud AVhisper challenged Ochiltree. Whisper
got 1)0 the neck of the favorite, and Athlene was
lappmg tbe quarter of the Western horse,
whue the other two were entirely out of the
race. ' Thus the three turned into the stretch, when
Athlene gave it np, and Tom waa in front at the
furlong pole ; but up came Whisper, steadily and as
sure ;as fate, and finally headed him. Tom then
began to quit, and Borbee drew his whip. As soon
as this was seen by the spectators there was a gen-
eral ahoMt, and the Western division were in ecsta-
cieo, as it became evident that Whisper would prove
the victor. When the latter came boldly to the
front; and Tom shortened his stride, there
was 'a shout of triumph from the Ken-
tuckians, which continued tmtil Whisper passed

' THE SETTLING RAOB.
- The eonolnding event of the day was a selling race
for all ages, dash of a mile and'a half, in which there
were three competitors, namely : George Longstaff's
b. h. Shylock, James T. Williams' b. h. Fair Play,
and William Mnlkey*! br. c. Lucifer. The day,
which began so disastrously to the knowing ones,
continued to the end, for Shylock was the favorite,
and sold fori$240, Lacifer $200, and Fair Play $145.
Tbe distance being a mile and a halt they were
started from the half-mile pole, and when the
flag fell, Lucifer got away in the lead, with Fair Play
second, and Shylock third ; but these positions were
soon changed, as Evans set out with Shylock to make
the pace, and Lucifer followed him. When they
turned into the stretch Shylock led a length, and then
increased his lead to a length and a half at the judges'
stand : Lucifer second, two lengths in front
of Fair Play. In this manner they ran rotxnd
the turn to the quarter-pole, and going
along the back stretch there was a length
of daylight between the three, but when they
got nearer the half-mile pole Lucifer closed np. and
passing that point he was at the quarter of Shylock,
hut Fair Play was still two lengths in the rear. Com-
ing round the lower turn. Fair Play moved up to
the tail of Lucifer, and he was at the heels of Shy-
lock. Thus, they ran, nose and tail, into the honie
stretch, and there was a fast race home. Shylock
kept the lead like a winner up to the four-mile dis-
tance-stand, when Lucifer caught him, and Fair Play
was close up behind nnder the whip, but gamely re-
sponding to it. When thev neared the goal Lucifer
snot to the front and won t^e racfr by three-quarters
of a length, Shylock a length in front of Fair Play.
The time wan 2:46, which was much slower than an-
ticipated. The winner was offered at auction as
usnal, but there was no bid over the stated selling
price, and he waa retfdned in the Missouri stable.

THE MURDER OF JOHN G VNSER,
GEORGE MICHEL COMMITTED FOB THE AC-
TION OP THE GRAXD JURY — MRS.
GCNSER ARRESTED ON SrSPICIOX OF
HAVING KILLED HER HUSBAND.
The most persistent inquiry, continued ever
since the date of the murder, has failed to reveal who
Itllled John Gnnser tn bis bed at East Williamsburg.
Long Island, on the night of .Sunday, May 13. The
Biupicions of neighbors were at first directed toward
his wife, who was said to have lived unhappily with
him, but the fact that she was hurt at the same time
that he was killed, servf^ to divert the at-
tention of the authorities from her. Several persons
were arrested during the Coroner's inquest on sus-
picion of hvring committed the crime, but they
were all subsequently discharged. Several weeks ago a
man named Cxeorge Michel, a barber, residing next
door to the saloon kept by the Gunsers, was arrested
and charged with the murder. Several examinations
have been made into the charges against him, but the
only fact at all affecting Mm waa the one that he had
several lawsulte with Gunser. and that he frequently
threatened violence to the deceased. Another exam-
ination was carried on yesterday, at Newtown,
before! Justice MitcheL District Aitomey Downing
was present, and interrogated the witnesses. A great
deal of testimony was taken, but none of It was im-
portant, except that of the prisoner. Geoige Michel,
Rev. liOnls Eolnsr, John Bosshsrd. and Detective
George Zundt. Michel testified that he had not been
in Otinser's saloon for two years previous to the mur-
der, having quarreled with Gunser and with some of
his workmen. He denied that he ever threatened to
harm Gunser, but admitted tliat be once said' to him ;
God >nc« punished you, and he will
again,'' alluding to the fact that Gunsef's leg had
been broken. He stated also that on the
day after the murder Gunser's father entered his
house and said to him : " What do you think of
the murder of my son : I can take the murderer in
my arms : she killed him :" witness tmdcrstood the
old man to refer to Mrs. Gunser. his daughter- in daw.
Michel also testfficd that he had spoken to Jacob
Elsie about the murder^ saying that the person who
committed ,lt would certainly be discovered ; but
Eisle always apt>eared uowilling to discuss the
matter.
Rev. Mr. Eulner testified that yesterday he asked
old Mr. Gunser who he thought killed his son. and
the old man replied that he thought bis daughter-in-
law committed the crime, but he could not prove
tbat she did so. John Bosshard testliled that on the
day following the murder old Mr. Gnnser said to
him, "Do you know that the mtirderer is in this
house ? Do yon wish to see her T' Detective
Zundt teslifleii that when he began his Investiga-
tions the father of the murdered man said to him,
" For plod's sake arrest Mrs. Gunser ! You will then
have the murderer." The old man also said bis
dau«htor-ln-law was a bad woman, who was intimate
with other men than lier husband.
At the conclusion of the testimony the counsel for
George Michel moved for his discharge on the ground
that no evidence had been adduced against him. The
motion was denied, and the prisoner was fully com-
mitted for the action of the Grand Jury. A motion
for the discharge of Adam Martin, who is charged
with 'perjury in the case, was also denied,
and his examination wan set down for Sat-
urday next. The testimony of Georee Michel
having increased the suspicions against Jacob Eisle,
he was for a second time arrested on a charge of mur-
der. Mrs. Gunser was also arrested on the same
charge. Upon being apprehended she became tear-
ful and said : " I did not kill him. I am not guilty. I
wish I hod my hushand. He wn.<« good to me and to
miy children.' ASlien she had been quieted she
said : " I do not care. I know it is all right ; it will
all come out right." Her step-son, August Gunser,
add serrant, Lizzie Schmidt, were also arrt>sted and
hild as witnesses. The prisoners were placed in
separate cells in the County .fail, and no persons but
officials are to be allowed to communicate with them.
Tho examination in the case of Mrs. Gunser will take
place at Newtown op Saturday next.
TRAGEDY IN AN ENGLISH RAILWAY CAR.
The London Times of July 24 says : *' Yes-
terday a terrible scene occurred in one of the car-
riages of the up Scotch express on the Midland Hail-
way just before the arrival of the train at Bedford
Sta^on, which It is timed to reach at 6:41 A. M. A
pauper ftinatic, named Richard Donnelly, about 5
feet 6 laches in height, and of considerable muscular
strength, was being conveyed from Gla.sgow to his
place of settlement, St. Luke's, London, in charge of
Mr. Charles N. Lang, workhouse master of the for-
mer place. It appears that when nearin(i Bedford
the lunatic suddenly attacked Mr. Lang with a razor,
OS the master was in the act of reading a, newspajicr,
both men being at the time the sole oc4-upants of the
carriage. Mr. Lang Immediately warded off the at-
tack with his riEht hand, but tlua a.s.s.iult was so sud-
den that in uie endeavor to close with the mad-
man ho received a gash acros.s ^ one ear,
and also across the hand between tiie
thtmib and forefinger, from which the blood
'spurted around. He then closed with hie assailant,
whom he overpowered, not, however, before his coat
collar and back portion around his waist hod been cut
with the razor, the thickness of the material fortu-
nately preserving him from further wounds. The
lunatic now, finding himself foiled, suddenly drew
the blade across his own throat, which he severed in
a most frightful manner from oar to ear, failing im-
mediately to the floor in a pool of blood. The train
had now entered the station, where the officii took
prompt steps to secure medical aid. Mr. .Sharpin,
snrKeott, was speedily in attendance, but the madman
haadiad in the railway carriage, which was all bo-
smeared with blood. The car was at once detached
from the train, and the body of the deceased was
then remorved to Mr. Derhysoire's, the Railway Hot^
just ontsfde the station-ywd, where Mr. Luig was

PROTECT THE CHRISTIANS — POSITION OF
THE DEFEATED RUSSIANS FROM PLEVNA.
London, Aug. 6^ — The Standard's Bu-
charest dispatch reports that a Turkish division
from Lovatz has occupied Selvi unopposed.
The Turks at Plevna have received a reinforce-
ment of 4,000' Albanian cavalry.
The Times' Bucharest correspondent repeats
the report of the occupation of Selvi by the
Turks, and adds that the Russian forces are be-
tween Selvi and Timova, holding strong de-
fensive positions. Gen. Gonrkho is charged witli
the duty of protecting the southern outlets of
the Balkan passes.
The DaUt/ yews' Vienna correspondent sends
the following : " Strategically, the most
important news from the seat of war is
the occupation of Selvi. This exposes Tir-
nova and the passes. Gen. Gonrkho's corps
is said to be short of provisions and am-
munition. Rustchuk is no longer invested
from the land side, and communication with
Shumla opened yesterday. Gen. Gourkho has
aent word to Timova that his forces are
too scattered to protect the Christians in various
places again.st the certainty of massacre. Me-
hemet .\li has appointed Raschid Pasha Chief
of Artillery and Blum Pasha commander of
Varna. Both are Prussians.
The Manchester Guardian's Vienna special
announces that Suleiman Pasha occupied
\t - Kazanlik on Sunday, and thereby he has access
■f to the Schipka and I'riavna Pa,sses:
A Times' correspondent', who -left the Russian
camp before Plevna on Thurs<iay. says the Rus-
sian advance guard is within sis miles of Plevna.
The main body occupies a strong position nine
zniles furthereast on a range of hills running
nearly north and south. Strong reinforcements
have already reached Gen. Krudeuer's corps,
w-bich is able to resist any offensive movement
of Osman Pasha, should one be attempted,
which is not very probable. The Rus.sian3
have suffered a disastrous check, but that is all.
Tbe second ponton bridge at Simuitza is nearly
completed, and will be ready for use in a few
days. The old bridge is stUl in good ordiT.
A Constantinople dispatch says the Porte
has made public the following intelli-
gence: "Tbe Russians have been com-
pletely defeated at Yeni-Saghra, with
considerable loss, including two gtins,
a large qnaality of baggage and equipments.
They fled in disorder toKainboghaz Pass, which
is occupied by Suleiman Pasha, wbo pursued
them thither."
The Times' correspondent before Plevna writ-
ing under date Aug. 2, says : •' It is hardly
probable that any renewal of the attack will be
made for the next 10 days, as tbe Ru.ssians need
time to bring: up reinforcements.
The 'Jjn'^fs' Berlin correspondent telegraphs :
''Consequent upon the defeat at Plevna the
Czar has asked the Emperor of Austria to with-
draw his former protest against the Russians
entering Servia. and. conjointly with tbe Ser-
vians, operating on the left dank of the Turks."

— OVEK-CONFIDEXCE ENGENDERED BV
THE SLIGHT RESISTANCE OF THE TURKS
EARLY IN THE WAR — GEN, GOURKHO'S PO-
SITJOS— RENEWAL OP OPERATIONS IN
ARMENIA.
London, Aug. o. — The first movement of
the Russians toward carrying oat that plan of
the campaign heretofore foreshadowed as the
one likely to be selected has resulted in the dis-
aster of Plevna. The purpose of the Russian
■ Generals obviously was to wheel around their
right and left wings to a line parallel with the
Balkans, taking Tirnova as a pivot, and thus
force Osman Pasha and Mehemjt All back
icross the mountains on their respective lines of
retreat. This accomplished, and Osman Pasha
and Mehemet All prevented from effecting a
jonction by tne forces under Gen. Gourkho,
which were meanwhile to establish themselves
south of the Balkans, the Rus.sian campaign
-would have been beyond danger of failure or
serious interruption. The promenade across tbe
Danube and to and over the Balkans, while the
Turks remained idle in their camps and fort-
resses, was perhaps sufficient to justify the idea
of the Russians that they had only to advance
to insure that the Turks would retreat. It was
this feeling which led the Russians into the
fatal ambush of Plevna a fortnight ago,
and which on Tuesday sent an inferior force
. to avenge tliat disaster on a victoriotis army in
fortified positions. The result is that all is
chaos again, as far as our knowledge of the sit-
luttion is concerned, and that news dispatches
&Dm the front are full of panicky or exaggera-
ted rumors, dictated by the hopes or fears of
either side, but the salient fact is unquestioned
that the Russians hava been checked, and
their campaign cannot make any progress
nnta they have shaken off- Mehemet
All and Osman Pasha from their flanks.
Meanwhile, Gourkho's task south of the
Balkans is rendered more and more serious daily
by the concentration and organization of Stuei-
man Pasha's forces. The Roumanian Railway
is monopolized by the dispatch of reinforce-
ments from the camp of reserves at Kischeneff.
It is alleged that the Dobrudscha will be almost
wholly evacuated, and Zimmerman's corps will
return via Sistova to the central army. The
Czar has decreed fresh levies at home, all of
which means that the military promenade has
been turned into an affair of life
or death for the Russians, and that
the Turks will be crushed if there is power in
Russia to crush them.
The Turkish plan is believed to be for Osman
' Pasha to light his way eastward, and Mehemet
Ali to advance westward upon Timova, while
Suleiman Pasha endeavoni to force the Rus-
sian position at Kazanlik ; but, in doing this,
Osman Pasha must expose his left flank to the
risk of being turned from the direction of
Nikopolis, thus facilitating the Russian plan of
pivoting on Timova, and forcing him to retire
behind the Balkans. Mehemet Ali would in-
cur the same danger from the Russians between
Bustcbuk and liasgrad, while Suleiman Pasha
must attack the Russians in positions
if their own choice. The supposed
I'urkish plan does not look very
promising unless the Rvissians aid it by mis-
^kes like those at Plevna, but it may with
skillful handling serve to keep the Russians in
check imtil the camptugning season is over,
which would be for tbe Turks the next thing to
absolute \-ictory. Both Russia and Turkey are
submitting to a terrible strain on their resources
to win a decisive advantage in this campaign.
Meantime, it would seem from apparently well
authenticated reports of outrage, murder, and
rapine by tho Bashi-Bazouks, Bulgarians, and
Cossacks that the war is fast assuming a charac-
ter of sayage cruelty, which threateiis to make
it a war of extermination for all tbe inhabitants
of the territory involved, whether Christian or
Mohammedan. „ , .
In Asia the intention of the Russians to ad-
vance from Ardaban, as reported last week, is
same time another division is marching to
Ardanusch, which commands the road fiom
Batoum to Olti. A third column of apparently
.fresh forces is occupying the line of the Adjar*
River, south of Batoum. This points jto
an evident intention to advance, possibly 6n
Erzeroum, or to carry out a wide sweeping flank
and rear movement on Mukbtar Pasha's Ariiy
before Kars, which will .be covered by attacks; in
front, conducted by MelikofTs forces at Kurnk-
dara, supported by Gen. Tcrgukassoff, who is
believed to be somewhere on the River
Araxes, south of Kars. The latter plan is
more probable than an' advance on Erze-
roum, if indeed the whole movement on
Olti is not a feint to distract Mukhtar Pasha's
attention from what is going on in front ; biit,
as the feint might be converted into a real at-
tack, Mukhtar Pasha cannot afford to ignore it.
He will, therefore, be forced to detach a con-
siderable number of men from the main army
to guard the base of the triangle formed by Ar-
dahan. Ears, and Olti, whUe the Russians are
able to direct their operations from the apex,
Ardahan, against any poriion of the base, and,
assisted by Gen. Tergukassoff, cut Muhktar
Pasha's communication with Erzeroum, aJnd
force him to fall back upon or into Kars.
Telegrams from Constantinople report that a
portion of the Turkish Batoum Army is ejn-
barkingfor Varna to reinforce Meheinet Ali,
so that the Porte must feel sufficient confidence
in the strength of Mukhtar Pasha's central col-
umn and positions to throw upon it the entire
burden of resisting MelikofTs second invasion.

- MITTED BY THE MUSCOVITES — CONFU-
SION AT SHUMLA. | '
From Our Own CorrrsponitenL
Shumla. Friday, July 13, 1877 — Evening.
The Russian forces which crossed more
than a fortnight ago are believed to be swelled
to an aggrpsete of about 00,000 men. A few
days ago it seemed a? if this force was meant to
operate on the line of the Danube ; many
thought that Rustcbuk itself was to be threat-
ened from the direction of Biela. But if there
is any truth in the latest accounts, I hear the'
Russians are sbont to play a far different game.
I am told that so far from meaning to advance
on Rustcbuk. the Russian Army on the Upper
Danube, as T may call thetn^ have blown up the
bridge acxoss the Yantra at Biela, to prevent it
being made use of by the Turks, and that would
make it appear as if to reach Sophia were the
great aim of the Army of the Upper Danube.
Tbe Russians probably think that by sending
troops from the Dobrudscha to co-operate with
a force to be sent across at or near Tutrakan,
they can meantime keep the forces of the
quadrilateral in check. 1 hear that powerful
forces are being sent to check the ad-
vance of the Russians toward the Balkan
pas-ses, but the "regulations" forbid the
mentioning of any particulars which would bt
made use of by the "enemy." I beUfeve Cos-
sacks have been seen in considerable numbers
near Rasgrad, and it is questionable whether
any train will go further than Shoitanjik, near
Shumla. on the road toward Rustcbuk to-mor-
row. Things are getting very warm, but tbe
Turks behave very coolly. Those very skeptical
people who scout tbe idea that there is any
soMarite between the Mussulman of the far
Ea-st and those of Constantinople and the West
should have seen a little ceremony that took
place here at Shumla to-day. ' Tbe Mussulmans
of India have recently -subscribed 10,000 liras
(the Turkish lira is equivalent to 181^ shil-
lings) for the benefit of the soldiers engaged
here in tbe war which all Mohammedans believe
to be holy. To-day Mamyk Pasha — a fine old
man. who was 'Serdar Ekrera {or Commander
in Chief) so long ago as 1858, and who has
also been Amba-ssador to England— personally
distributed a portion of the money to the sol-
diers here lyins: in hospital. Bags full of silver
rupees bearing tbe image and superscription,
not of Abdul Hamid, but of the other great
ruler of Jlohammedans, the Queen of Eng-
land and Empress of India, were borne by the
attendants behind the veteran soldier and
statesman, who, so long as his strength lasted,
distributed with his own hand the money which
had been subscribed for the sick soldiers by
their far distant coreligionists. The old man
gave many words of kindly advice, and he in-
sisted that a rule which obtains in the Turkish
hospitals — that money, &c,, belonging to the
sick shall be taken from them, to be returned
when they leave the hospital— should in this case
be broken. The men seemed much gratifled,;by
the kindness of the Pasha and their Indian friends.
Mr. Harrington Kennett accompanied the Pasha
on his tour of inspection at the Pasha's special
request.
In my last letter from Rustcbuk I had occa-
sion to mention a very severe thunder-storm
which took place on the night of the Otb Inst.
Many thousands of poor Turkish and Russian
soldiers must have been drenched to the skin
by that very severe outburst of the elements,
and certain newspaper correspondents have
since been saying that to be under water is
worse than to be under fire. But it is a bad
storm that brings nobody good. On the night
in question a great many Russian cavalry horses
were picketed between Monaster and
Biela. Terrified by the thunder and light-
ning, they broke loose by hundreds. Learning
this, the Turkish Circassians, in their keen
instinct for booty, made as\toop upon the steeds
and brought 230 of theni^ into the Turkish
camp — a welcome prize, well won.
While writing my last paragraph I was called
away to see a little pile of telegrams which had
been received up to this afternoon, regarding
the atrocities which the Russians are perpe-
trating during their advance in Bulgaria. Two
hundred persons, a great portion of them wom-
en and children, while flying in their Arabas
(wagons or carriages) for the village of Tchairlu,
in the Rasgrad district, were set npOn by the
Russians and put to the sword. Twenty-one
persons, 11 of them women, were murdered by
the Ru.ssians at Kara Tchoumak, near Tir^
nova. In fact, a very reign of terror is re-
ported from the borders of the districts which the
Muscovites have occupied,- and the Russians are
coming alarmingly near even to strong places
like Rustchuk. 'The -Turks admit that they
have occupied the villages of Ostrantcho and
Coslovo, within four hours of Rustchuk.
From these places fearful scenes are reported.
The women were outraged, and even helpless
children were cruelly massacred. Of course
it ought to be borne in mind that these reports
come through Turkish sources. But the Turks
themselves believe them, and I have hitherto
seen little or no desire on the part of the Turk-
ish authorities to palm off upon correspondents
sensational or exaggerated stories.
Before closing, a word may be said in season
as to the mistaken Ideas which are cherished by
many Englishmen and others who come over
here to enter the Turkish service. Many of
these young men — and other men not so young
appear to regMd the Turk as merely a corpus
vile — a subject provided that they may experi-
ment thereupon. One such gentleman — h© was
in the medical service — I met the other day. He
was all fire and fury because he had been or-
dered to a part of the country which he did not
like — or from which it might be difficult to send
off newspaper letters. He even went so far as
to remonstrate with the Commander-in-Chief,
and received the eminently satisfactory reply
that he must obey his superiors' orders or throw
up his commission. Another casA is just re-
ported, in which the Turk, to say the least of it,
shows to advantage as compared with the Eng-
'.^avj, — a naian who is, I am told, peculiarly
well skilled In a very interesting de-
partment of naval warfare— quite recently
joined the Turkish Navy with a Captain's rank
and a salary of £400 to £500 a year, to be paid
In gold. A newspaper agent requested him to
yrite letteiis, Capt (I do not give the
name, for | It is ungracious to make such
affairs more public than need be,) agreed, and
directly he joined his ship, penned a furious let-
ter in regard to the mismanagement which
within a few hours he had discovered. Among
bther complaints he made, was that it was
impossible to the unpractlced eye to dis^nguish
the'cook from the Admiral. Capt. , how-
ever, did le*m how to differentiate between the
itwo. He \las not aware that hjs letter had to
pass through the Admiral's hands till called
upon the morning after it had been given in.
jwben confronted with the precious epistle he
was mnte, ind was forthwith sent back to Con-
stantinople | and dismissed the service — a very
inild punishment, indeed, according the military
rules m such cases.
Shumla Road Station, July 13—10 P. JI.
I Having come here to make sure of getting my
^tter off, I ifind everything in confusion. The
railway line has been abandoned as far as Ras-
prad. The: few carriages going toward Varna
are crowdei^ with Turkish women and children.
(Mr. Harrington Kennett, the Porte's Special Com-
jmissioner fbr the distribution of the Stafford
House fund, is fain, after ser^-ing .the sic'i
isoldiers h4re with coffee and lemonade, to
sleep in a jlumber-wsgon. The Turks, not to
put too fine a point upon it, seem inclined to
abandon the country. Of course, I speak
of the civiljpopulation. It is certainly a very bad
step when Sir. Harrower, manager of the line,
and a ve^ plucky gentleman, leaves Tchema-
voda for Rasgrad, en route for Sheitanjik. Tho
Turks are still hturying down soldiers, and a
great battlip may come off near Rustcbiik very
soon. It isL however, qtiestionable whether the
Russian preparations on tbe Lower Danube are
yet complete. ^^^

V.iRNA, Wednesday, July 11, 1877.
The Eg^tians are exceedingly well be-
haved— theiy are very orderly people — and so
long as Varna and its ^ell-being are intrusted
to their care, all will go on well. If no other
element presents itself— that is a proviso I mu.st
always putlin. Should a desperate onslaught
of BasIii-Bazouk.s occur, the Egj-ptians will still
keep their
peaceftU character, and tbe town
would suffer ; they are powerless to prevent or
to do harm — carpet soldiers every one of them,
from commandant to full private. There are a
good manv European officers on tbe Prince's
staff — ^long-mustacbed, fierce-looking fellows.
But in case of active operations I believe only
the native officers would be engaged, the best
remaining bn the staff. Prince Hassan lives
under canvas until a suitable bouse can be
found for him. I don't think he will get one,
unless he makes up his mind to rough it some-
what. As for finding a bouse large enough to
give a dinner party in, th,ere are only two or
three, and their tenants would be
very happy to vacate for a consideration
of something like £70 per month — normal
price for same dwellings being under £50
iper year. One must remember, however, that
Egyptian Princes are supposed to be rich, and
the most' 13 to be made out of the one wbo
graces Vama with bis presence now. This
evening two new pha.ses of news : A report
comes from Vetova, the second station on the
railway from Rustcbtik, brought in by Circas-
sians, to the effect that at five hours' distance
from that station, in the direction of Turtukai,
they have engaged and driven back several
iCossack vedettes. This is |rather a gloomy look-
put for the railway if triie, as reconnoitring '
iparties are 'always the forerunners of something
more serious. Another report describes tbe
Cossacks in the neighborhood of Sistova as
Javlng crossed the Jantra and massacred the
urkish villagers. I believe this thoroughly,
'the Cossack is blacker than it wotild ever be
possible to ; paint him, and itis surprising the
(tzar should have sent them to the front. They
will cause him infinitely more trouble than the
Bashi-Bazouks have caused to the Turk.s. A
young Russian prisoner, captured at Sistova,
describes his army as being different from what
Russian organs would lead one to believe. His
rifle, a miserable arm, roughly converted to the
Snider system, was sold here for 30
shillings by a wounded Turk, and very
I dear it was at the price. Weighing 13 pounds,
, it required a very strong man to use it at alL
A detachment of the Polish Legion has arrived
here, and 1>een forwardea on to Shumla. These
men — mostly English, French, and German ad-
venturers, i(very few Poles) — ^have created quite
a 'sensation with their showy uniform, a lancer's
dress of dark blue cloth with bright red facings,
'They are already l>eginning to be dissatisfied, I
Iear, for two reasons : First, their inner man
oes not .receive that attention they expected ;
instead of punping out jollily on beefsteaks and
wine ad libitum, they have to content themselves
with the usual ration of rice and occasionally a
little mutton, as served out to the ordinary
^ Turkish soldier, and for fine gentlemen in bril-
^ant uniforms this homely fare, does not go
down. Secondly, the Generalissimo does not
allot them that prominent position which they
hoped for;! and this is imtural, as they are very
few in number — about 300 — and besides, could
any one regsonably expect Abdul Kerim Pasha
to believe Istrangers bettex\ than his own men ?
Ceitainly'not. From the Very first tho Polish
leaders have fought shy^of this movement.
Langiewiez, quietly pursuing his occupation
as a book-keeper in Constantinople, and others
like him, dp not consider the opportune moment
arrived. Pislr Judgment is a -wise one. Up to
now few have flocked to the standard. The
key-note b^gle has loudly sounded, but the true
ring — ^the call to arms — has 'not gone forth. Let
I Langiewiez raise his voice and thousands will
' respond enthusiastically to his call. This great
'warrior, exiled and earning his daily bread as a
clerk or book-keeper, is as well known as house-
hold words in England. I remember well the
portrait of jthls brave patriot figuring In the II-
hutrated London News and the stories of his
valor ■with jhis band of men armed with scythes
inly; the^iopes England held oat to him, cer-
tainly indirectly, if not directly ; hopes dashed
to the earth, to the ground, to be renewed not
now, because Langiewiez is not ready ; his time
will come when the horizon is somewhat
clearer. This time is coining soon. The thorns
ready to pierce the sides of Russia -will do
their irorkt and the coining rising of the op-
preiaed IshsUtants of Russia will resound far
and wide, A good many Kihilists, supposed by
the Muscovites to be freezing out in Siberia, are
doing good work out here, and it will be a sorry
day indeed for the Czar and his people when
right overcomes 'might — a time slowly
creeping on the heels of the. arch plot-
ter. This evening the Russians are reported
to he in Timova, or, as I am inclined to be-
lieve, in the near neighborhood. They are cer-
tainly playing high stakes, and tlte outcome is
diificult tO[ guess at. We shall see before long.
The Poles ^ave pnblished a manifesto, a rather
loudly worded one, calling on their Russian
bntfaien to rise, but I oannot think it 'wHI have
Poles hajre been divided against each other, and
certainly atthepresentmomenttheyare not pull-
ing together. 'The Emperor of all the Russias has
also published a manifesto, addressed to the Bul-
garians. ! It is the same manifesto I wrote you
.about some time ago. It was concocted in
Bucharest — concoctedwhen Czar Alexander was
loudly calling Europe's attention to the olive
branch he was vauntiig on his breast. It also
will be doomed to a somewhat cool reception,
for the Emperor's Bulgarians, an.xious as they
are for his comings are not at all disposed to
assist actively ; their plan is to eet out or danger
as far as possible, and come in with the winners.
The Bishop of Manchester, I am happy to
see, is Ifighting in my ranks, or I in his,
and as his lordship's voice is all power-
ful in I the north, I hope he will use it,
unflaggihgly until his followers are manifold.
One is subject to being characterized as a softy
if he has the courage to cry peace, and some-
times rather rough u-sage is his only recompense.
I have ia lot of pieces of shell before me as I
write, although the bloodstains are now washed
off theih ; each morsel can answer for its broken
bead or torn limb twisted' by the force of explo-
sion into all sorts of shapes. These death-deal-
ing pieces, with their .lagged comers, are laid
alongside of each other, and one wonders at the
destruction they have made. Some time ago the
Archbikhop of York, forgetting his priestly
duties, spoke at a platform meeting, and abso-
lutely repommended his hearers to declare for
war against Turkey — that is, he invited his syin-
pathizers to assist him in throwing these horrid
morsels of molten iron upon their prey. I am
sure his Grace spoke unthinkingly in those days.
He can liever have been serious in what he said,
and I am sure I have a strong innate feeling
that, were his words recallable, the Arch-
bishop of Ebor would wash his hands
of them. Lord Canning's observation was
wise : '* If we have war, let us have it as late as
possible." Sometimes reflection prevents it, and
in all cases a little thought, a wee bit of com-
mon sense and prudence will avoid an infinity
of mi.schief and bloodshed. 1 heard a story to-
day which painsme very much. I don't at all
like tbe idea of telling you tales out of school,
but there are cei-tain duties which exact that
personal feelings should give way when duty
calls. There is an impression abroad in tbe
camp at Shumla that the English press is very
badly represented there. I don't mean badly
represented so far as our writing qualities are
concerned, but they have fallcu into tbe habit
of nightly orgies, and this kind of thing does
not go down with the Turks, who naturally say
that men to be respected should make them-
selves respected. This ts a delicate matter, and
for the mothent I will let it drop, as it is still on
tbe cards. An improvement tnay take place, as
tbe faulty ones have already bad intimation to
leave the camp unless such is tbe case.
Vakna, July 12.
Last evening late, the chief ot the village
of VitoYaj on the line of railway, came
in to say the Russians were at three hours' dife-
tance from] that place. This moruing tbe Ras-
grad Station b<-gan to fill with refuget^s, who re-
ported the Rn.ssiuns in the neigbboxhood. Both
these stations are near to Turtukai, and my sup-
position is that the Russians have merely Cos-
sack outposts ; anyhow tlie situation appeared
to be so grave that at ihidday the railway au-
thorities abandoned their bead-quarters at
Tcbemavoda, taking with them all the roll-
ing stock and telegraphic apparatus. At 1:30
Vitova Underwent the same operation, and con-
sequently Ra-'grad became the terminus of the
railway— 69 kilometres of road (44 miles) are
thus for the moment hors de servitor.. It is still
possible forithe Turks, however, to carr>- on the
circulation, j for it would be an easy matter to
put strong inilitary postsiall along the line, send
a train up to a few miles from Rustchuk. which
would returii in the: evening to Rasgrad. so as
not to leave the materials In threatened places.
It is tnieall the points and crossings have been
taken u^ at the abandoned stations, but they
have beep most carefully numV»er»>d. ami coiild
tie taken back with the train and roughly put
in the rjoad so as to allow its pas,sagp. All this
is supppsinjf the Ru.ssians not to lie in great
numoeis iu that neighliorhood. The pe.isants
from the villages in that neijibborhood report
the Tuiiks as being in a state of great exa.spera-
tion, and the Buljrarians as being panic-.<*tricken.
1 am very much afraid, indeed, we have trouble
in store "for us. The Outrages committed by
the Cosisac'ks on the Jantra are becoming known
in tbe interior, and it Would be absurd to ex-
pect the pe<ijnl*^ not to retaliate. In Rustcbuk,
where the English Consul has returned, all is
quiet. 'The|Zehe<iues an- conducting themselves
decently; occasional ca,ses of pilfering— not pil-
laging-|-are idi.scovered, and what is more satis-
factory' thn!nall,.is that a feeling of calm per-
vades the I^pulation in tbe neighborhood, and
unless, 'as tjlie Consul says, tbe Cossacks con-
tinue their foul deeds in the Sistova district, no
massacres ivill occur. 'The Circassians did a
very clever thing the other day near to Sistova.
Observing the Co.ssacks conveying sheep and
horses fromj that place toward ' Ijiela. a baud of
them ^osaed the Jantra, put the CossacKs
to flight, and brought in the spoil to
Rustchuk. It consisted of 3,000 sheep
and 100 cjavalrv horses — a very decent day's
work fir the Circa-ssiahs, as the Pa.sha divided
£1,50 ^moijig them. There is now not the
slightest doubt the Russians are near to Timova,
and Col. Lennox and Capt. Chromside, the mili-
tary attaches, are off up there in a hurrj- to see
tbe fighting, and we shall have news in a day
or two froni that quarter. Tbe .\ustrian post,
as usual, in any case of difficulty, has collapsed
since the Rustchuk bombardment, and. instead
of having a well organized and fleet land post,
they have rio post at alU Commercially and po-
litically this is an immense mistake, but it a]«
■ways is the;same -with the needy Austxian-s. If
they have a Consul in any town, and they find
the revenu48 of the Consulate do not cover the
expenses, the Consulate is abolished. They
look at everything from the pounds, shillings,
and peiice point of view. Prince Hassan still
remains heije to take care of us, but the inhab-
itants are sadly afraid of a Rur-sian surprise.

AND STAFF AT HARRISBURG — PITTSBURG
TO BE VISITED TO-DAY — SERIOUS ASPECT
QF AFFAIRS IN THE COAL REGIONS — THE
MINEitS AT ■WILKESBARRE SULLEN AND
THREATENING.
Special DitpateJi to the ^eio-Yorh Times.
Haekisburg, Aug. 5.— Gov. - Hartranft,
accompanied by Adjt. Gen. Latta, Sec-
retary of the Co mon wealth, and a full staff,, ar-
rived at this city very unexpectedly this even-
ing at 5-o'clock. The party occupied a special
train of three cars, accompanied by a detach-
ment of the Nineteenth Regiment, of Pittsburg,
whose special care was the baggage oar which
belonged to the party. When the Governor
left Kingston, where he had been since Satur-
day morning, his intention was to remain in
this city till a late hour Monday night, and then
proceed to Pittsburg. Upon his arrival here he
changed the pro^amme, and the train will de-
part for the smoky city at 1 o'clock to-morrow
morning. Immediately after his arrival here,
tbe Governor, accompanied by his staff, visited
tbe arsenal and inspected the Fourth Regi-
ment, on duty there, and had a conference with
Gen. Reeder, who is in command of the troops.
Exactly what is behind this sudden trip of the
Governor to Pittsburg cannot be positively as-
certained, but your correspondent is informed
by a member of the staff that one of the ob-
jects of the vLsit is a personal observation of
the condition of things in and about that city.
The Nineteenth Regiment, which behaved so
badly at Pittsburg, which is its home, has be-
haved well in' the mining regions, and in a
measure redeemed its reputation. Gen. Pear-
son is doing service with his command in the
ncinity of WUkesharre.
Yesterday morning a delegation of miners
called upon Gov. Hartranft and requested him
to attend a meeting of miners, railroad men, and
other working men at Dana's Woods, near
Kingston. The delegation represented that
the Sheriff of Luzerne County and tbe
Mayor of Wilkesbarre would be present
at tbe meeting. Tbe Governor told tbe
delegation that he was there not as an
arbitrator between discontented workmt.-n
and their employers, but as a preserver of the
peace, and that he would preserve tbe peace
at all hazards. The delegation then left, iind it
was .subsequently learned that neither of the
other two ollioials were at tbe meeting, and bad
not inleuded to be present. The temper of tho
minero has not improved during the past two
day.s. They are cowed by tbe presence of the
Governor and the troops, but by no means con-
quered. They are very sullen, and threaten
that when the troops are withdrawn they will
have things their own way and will play havoc.
.\hout midnight last night Gen. Brinton's pick-
ets were fired on from a little red house near Ply-
mouth. The place was marked and tbe inten-
tion was to make a raid on t'ae den to-night and
clean it out. Tlie members of the Governor's
staff with whoni your correspondent conversed
expi-essed tbe opinion that tne disc»rders iu tbe
mining regions are of a ver\- serious character,
and that only a bold front and harsh measures
will prevent a bloody outbreak. That such a
course will be pur.sucd these who know Gov.
Hartranft need not be informed. Tbe Gov-
ernor has for severa.1 days been suffering from
indis;>osition. but is now fully recovered.
In this city and its vicinity all is quiet. The
arsenal is still garrisoned by the Fourth Regi-
ment, but the presence of troops here is a
measure of precaution rather than necessit>-.
The Pennsylvania Company has discharged a
number of engineers, firemen, and brakenien —
Those who took an active part in the troubles at
tills place — and it is said there are others who
will meet a similar fate. The law and order
pos.se which so admirably disposed of the mob
in this city will bold an excursion and picnic on
the line ofthe Cumberland Valley Road on Friday
next, when they will have a frolic, af '.er tbe
anxiety and tunnoil of the closing days of July.

Wilkesbarre, Penn., Aug. .">. — This has
been a quiet day among the strikers, there
being no demonstration of anv kind, and but
few strikers swn. Twelve companies of United
States troops arrived here this forenoon, in com-
mand of Gen. Wilson. The.se are parts of the
Thirteenth and Twenty-second lnfantr\-. aud
number 400. They are encamped in the mar-
ket-house, in the centriil part of the city.
Col. Bonnefant, with a veteran regiment from
Philadelphia, is encamped near the ^ alley Depot.
Gen Pierson's head-quarters are now at King-
ston. Gen. Huidcnkoper has command at
Scranton. The United States troops have come
;to stay until tbe trouble is over. Tbe miners
are determined to stand for an increase of '2n
per cent. 'There are no prospects that they will
give in for a long time to come.
Philadelphia, Penn., Aug. o.— The First Di-
vi."ioq|pf the Pennsylvania National Guard .struck
tents near Scranton on Saturday night, and
were brought to this city, reaching here shortly
after S o'clock this mominc. They came by
way of tho Belvidere and Delaware Railroad to
Trenton, and thence, by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, to Philadelphia. The troops came in four
sections, and were greeted at the depot
by an immense crowd. They were
treated to coffee and sandwiches at tbe depot
restaurant. After being refreshed, the soldiers
formed a line and marched in a body to the cor-
ner of Broad and Walnut streets, where they
were reviewed by Major-Gen. Hancock, and
afterward dismissed. Delegations of the Grand
Army met the various commands and accom-
panied them to their armories, where recep-
tions wire accorded them in the shape
of bountiful repasts. At the Fencible
Head-quarters Cant. Ryan and Major-Gen. Loud
made short speeches. While the Militia were
passing tlie Coloimade Hotel, Mamie Crump,
aged 11 years, a daughter of the proprietor of
that hotel in leaning out of the window to see
the soldiers, lost her balance, fell to the pave-
ment, and was instantly killed.
Bethlehem, Peun., Aug. 5.— All trains on

GOV. CARROLL PROMISES PRESIDENT GORMAN
TO BAISE THE BLOCKADE — INSTRUC-
TIONS ISSUED TO SHERIFFS TO DISPERSE
THE STEIKEES — A LAROE FORCE OF
MILITARY TO BE EMPLOYED IF NECES-
SARY.
Special Diapaleh to the iTew-Tork .^^mea.
Baltisiobe, Md., Aug. 5. — Gov. Garroll,
at the solicitation of President Gorman, of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, has consented to
undertake the breaking of the blockade on the
canaL The boatmen, who for two months
have been on strike against the coal com-
panies for higher rates for transportation,
have over 300 boats drawn up in the
neighborhood of Hancock and Sir John's Runs,
and refuse to allow any boats to pass either way,
except in rare instances, when shippers have
paid advance figures for getting small amounts
of coal to the seaboard. Gorman represented to
the Governor that this was a case m which the
State was entitled to act, just as much
as when the railroad strikers interfered
by violence to stop men from working
and hindered the operations of the road, and
that the canal should be cleared as the railroad
had been, even if it was necessary to caU in the
aid of the United States. Gov. Carroll acceeded
to this view of the situation, and promised Mr.
Gorman that the canal shall be. opened. To-
morrow he "Will issue orders ' to the
Sheriffs of the various counties through
which the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
nasses to itake «t«B» to disperse ^ thft
i^K^--
boatmen and make the canal free to all traffic.
If the Sheriffs are not able to do this w^th the
force at their disposal, the military will be
called to execute the task. For this purpose
there are available the 400 regulars,
under command of Gen. Getty, along
the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
and the canal, and reinforcements of regulars
or Militia can be quickly sent from Baltimore
to the number of 1,000 if necessary.
Marching orders have been issued to the Sev-
enth Regiment of Maryland National Guards,
which it is supposed will be ordered to duty on
the canal. It is very probable that the troops
will be needed to clear the canal of tbe ob-
structions. There are 1,000 boatmen in
the vicinity of Sir John's Run, and they are a
rough, determined set of men, who are not like-
ly to give way befori such an insignificant
show of force as the Sheriff's pos »e. The move-
ment against them will be made immediately.

Kev West, Fla., Aug. 5. — The following
news bsfi been received from Havana :
The last Spanish mail brought an order for
the release of the persons imprisoned for frauds
in the inffndmria miiitar. 'ibis was a blow in
the face of C.iptain-General JovoH.ir. and ap-
proves the frauds committed under th& Valma-

current that Jovellar will n?sign and be siicceed-
ed by Gen. Blanco.
Gen. Martinez Campos has sent dispatches to
the King, explaining the position of the cam-
paitrn. and stating that the insurgents are so
well supplied with information by spies, and
their facilities for disbanding when pursued are
s-.ich.that it takes 500 soldiers to look after 10
insurgents. GeiL Campos therefore requires
."lO.OiiO more troops to crush the insurrection.
Campos further says the insurgents will only
surrender on receiving their independence, and
recommends the Spanish Government to adopt
one proposition or the other. X great many
sick soldiers have arrived at Havana from the
interior.

None of the executive department of tht
Government have been more thoroughly re-
formed and more systematicallj- arranged in^Ul
the details of bntaness tlian tbe Xavy I>epaT%
ment. When, Secretary Thompson assumed
charge of the department in ilarch last ho
found a system of organization, not proceeding
from a central responsibiliTy, but scattered
among the several bnreaus into which the ad-
ministration of the Kai'v Department is di-
vided. Tbe chief of each of these bureaus ia
a naval officer of high rank, and the business
of each was conducted without reference to,
and generally in utter ignorance of, the busi-
ness of the others. The frequent and pro-
tracted absence of the former Secretary ren-
dered it difficult If not impossible for him to be
intelligently informed of the^vast amount of
important detail upon which he was reqtiired
to decide, and the heads of bureaus thus prao-
tically became absolute in/iuthority. really de-
cided all questions before presenting them to
the Secretary, and merely laid their decisions
before him for formal appfroval. It was m'ainly
owing to this loose syst*:*m of administraiou.
with its supervisory po'VTers scattered over [the
department, and withoi;,t competent esecutive
direction, that the scaridals cx>nnected withth©
Kavy Department for. the past few years may be
properly attribute,
The naval officer Is naturally an autocrat, and
sometimes a petty tyrant. Tbese characteris-
tics are developed! according to his rari^^nd
years of sea ser\'i ce. Trained to command, he is '
always imperioris to those under him, whethei
his subordinafjts Vte civil or military. When in
command of a. ship bis xrUl is law. and so. ^fhen
detailed to afuninister a bnreau of ihe Xavy De--
partment. bo will naturally absorb all power,
unlfess the civilian at the head of the department
at once nrakes it known and felt that he alone is
Secretary of tbe Navy, and wiH not share its
responsibilities with heads of bureau.*, even if
ihey h-'ive tbe rank of Commodores and Rear-
Admirals. Only a civilian of larger mental
faculties and strong indi^^iduality can a.^siime
diroction of the Xavy Department, and com-
pletely maintain himself against the old naval
officers who surround him, and upon whose co^
operation he must necessarily depend for a sucr
cessful administration of tho department. In
fact, there must be onlv- one Secretary of the
Xavy or there will be a full dozen. During
Robeson's administration there were a doreu
Secretaries de facto of the Xavy, each more
potent than the Secretary de jure, and Jlr.
Robeson will know it for tbe first time when he
r^ads this letter. Now there is one Secretary,
who is de jure and de facto, and every officer of
the Navy is fully impressed with this fact.
I had occasion recently to visit the Xavy He- •
partment in search of infonnation ■ for The
Times, and could not fail to observe the marked
changes every where visible in the methods of
administration about the Secretary's office. An
old naval officer, head of a bureau, to whom 1
spoke of the improvements visible, remarked :
•• Yes : every one familiar "with the oJd ordeT of.
things makes similar observations. How do T
account for it ? That is simple euou^ — Thomp-
son is Secretary in fact, as well as by appoim^
ment by the President, and we have learned, in
the concluding language of general orders, tha£
he mu.*^ be obeyed and resperted accordingly.
We have now a better organization than ever
before, and its beneficial result^ will soon bo
seen and f'^lt upon the Navy. Every burea,u is'
now directed with an aim solely to promote the
strength and efficiency of tho g-eneral ser^re. -
and there is a harmony in the entire operations
of the Department that has not been known for
many years. Of course, you newspaper men,
who penetrate everything, observe a chancre.
So does every one w^ho has been in rhe babitj of
visiting the department. TTp to July 1 we have
had pretty rough sailing and very little lee-
way, but we are now in deep water, and Secre-
tary Thomnson is making a log that will no?
shame him nor those as'vociated with him in the
administration of tbe Navy Department/'
The opinion expressed by the officer abov^ |
quoted prevails throughout the department, j
and every Chief of Bureau feels he has a Su-
perior officer whose vigilant supervision T>eT-
vades the entire naval service. Passing inv*
the Secretary's room, I found that high official
discussing with Commodore Shnfeldt, Chief ot
the Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting, a let- :
ter written to a PajTnaster about some purchases
made in open market. The -Commodore read
the letter and explained the business of it.
*• Put in the words ' maximum price.' ** said the
Secretary, " so we will always have the highest
figures. The minimum price is a matter of lo-
cality and market value." "That will be bet--
ter," .said Commodore Shufeldt, as he departed
to make the alteration suggested. '• Shufeldt
is a faithful officer," said the Secretary, address-
ing your correspondent. "The matter he just
presented me involved a question of $2 .50. but
there is a principle in issue.- Method is every-
thing. The method by which $1 is taken
from the Treasury wlU serve to draw from it
$100,000.'* Here was at once an example and
practical .illustration of careful management and
wise administration. In reply to questions, th-^
Secretary explained tbe manner and methods
of his organization, the conversation being oc-
casionally enlivened by sallies of quiet humor
for which 5Ir. Thompson is noted, and illus-
trated by anecdotes that 'added force and
piquancy to the narration.
** Yes," said the Secretary in reply toqne»-
tions, '* I have had to do some "hard work ia
order to learn the business. But I am protty
well through with my pupilage, and feol that I
am on my sea legs, as we say in the Navy,*' and
the Secr8^a^y laughed at this exhibition of nau-
tical technicality. ** I had," he continued,, "to
beep running from stem to stern, now rush be-
low deck, and anon fly aloft, in order to make
myself fully acquainted with what had been
done ia the past ^d what should^ be done in.
the future ; and now, having mastered the busi-
ness of running this department, it will not be
difficult for me to keep things dead .to rig^ht."
As he leaned back in his chair, and puffed &
half smoked cigar, *'01d Dick," as he is famili-
arly called, manifested a quiet determliuition
that could not fail to convince any one who
coold have seen him at that moment thax he
means to direct the affairs of the Navy withouc
interference fr&ra the outside and without dio-
tation from within.

heartily Rt the recollection of -what he pr<lv^osed
to relate, "when I was appointed Secretary
of the Navy, every body laughed. It was reilly
funny, and I lai2ghed mys^lfr and now laughoit
the recollections recalled. ' Here,' said every
hody, ' is Old Dick Thompsoin, from the Wabash
Elver, who never saw anythJ^ig afloat except a
raft or a scow : who can't tcU the difference
between a ship's flying jibbomn and the royal
mlzrenmast, made Sacretary ■ of the Navy.'
No wonder the people langhed at the jokes
you newspaper people cracked over my
appointment. Well, I thought I would come
here and study navigation, so far as that science
1? useful in directing this department; I went
risht to the liottom of things, and now I feel
that I am on deck. These gentlemen of epau-
lettes perhaps imasrfned that they would run
the department. They don't think so now.
it.iw do I manage! E.'wy enough. 1 have
rieetings twice each week of the Ciiiefs of Bu-
reaus. The business of each bureau is pre-
sented at these meetings and discussed in de-
tail. Evi'ry member of the Imard is expected
to express 'his opinion upon all matters pre-
.sonted. and these opinirms and the conclusions
of the Im.ird .ire ilnly recorded. Thus the Chief
<'f raoh P.urc!;n knows what is being done in all
file otht-rs, and how and why it is Ijeing done.
This enables all the bureaus to work harmoni-
cusly and intelligently, and secures honest and
ei'iiimmical administration. No .serious mistake
can CO long undiscovered undter this system,
lici-aii.'<e the progress of all work As duly reported
twice each week to the board, and. if any mis-
take has been made, it will be detected and at
once corrected.
■• If wf don"t succeed in creatinor »-good Navy
i; will not be my fault. It takes money to
build ships.. and if' Congress will not roti- monev
uhljis cannot be built. Oni' ihing i.< certain, I
will not trv to build ships without ni.iney. and
I will not permit one or two planks to be taken
fri>m an old. decayed hulk, and, under tlie hrad
of ■ repairs,' attempt to consmict a new ship
oroTind tht-m, on the principle of Imililing a
lit-w harw-l around an old buns-hole. If (Ton-
pTfss wants sliips. they must order them iuriii,
ii:iil appropriate the money, and I will undar-
t.ik.- to bnihl them as well and us cheap a.s the>v
rrin'lie built at anv private shipyani. Why.
Si'. " continued the Secretarj". with some show
o:' inrti.mation, "Would yot'i iwlicve that John
I;..n<-li t.>M me not Ions sin<-e that the Oiivem-
ip.-n* cannot build shins, and that he is ;r»".!nir to
break un all our Xavv-var<ls. He says private
varils can buUd ships 2,3 per cent, cheaper than
the Government vatds. and tiuild much better
vpssels. In addition. Roach .saiil many vessels
built at tiovemment yards had to be taken to
private vards for repairs before they couhi so

liovemmcnt cannot bui^d ships at Rll. and must
CO out of the business. ,

I^-IWN. Wednesday, July 25, 1877,
The season is waning fast. The tide bf
fashion that began to flow in upon na in t] le
Spring, fllllng every nook and comer of Majy-
fair when June .roses blossomed over all the
land, now ebbs apace. The last " At home^"
the concluding dsmces, the fliml concerts, the
closing dinner-pajroes of the season begin to be
announced. The- Row has greatly diminished
in splendor during the last fortnight In a
week Bond-street has become quiet, and Regent-
street is no moro blocked by a plethora of cdr-
riagea. By the end of the month the town will
have changed the floating population. Fashion
will go back to its country estates, pr
to its continental retreats, and "-countpr
cousins" wOlcome up for their Summer holidays
l)y cheap exctirsion trtiins. For them the shqjv
keeper will fill his windows with last yeaf's
goods, and idl the cratuitous sights.- in the mjo-
tropolis will open their widest docirs. • No cify
in. the world undergoes so many changes on
the surface of life as London. It has its dis-
tinct and separate seasons for p-oliticians, ait-
Lst-s, musicians, clericals, farmers^ philosophers,
sportsmen, provincials, medicaVs, jotrrnalists,
and its own big time in the year for wealth ai^d
fashion. This latter pow^r h.^s even absorbjjd
Bohemia in its ever widening vortex. There' is
an upper and a lower Bohe-mia, a middle-cl^ss
Bohemia, and a high-class 'Bohemia. Let ijie
introduce you to a combination of the middle
■and high class society of London Boheinia. i
Strugcling through the Summer rain and a
block of carriages and cabs in Wych-streH.
dcjwn which thoroughfare Jack Sheppard fliwi
and was pursued by the watchmen, I pull up Op-
posite ' .the humble hooking but luxurioius
Olympic Theatre. It is ,5 o'clock in the aft
noon. The hail of . the theatre is lipht;
with gas. I Icail the l.'vly on my arm throu
narrow pas.snge. pnst the stnl's, behind the boxes.
and pre-sently we are npnm the stage, amor i a
cr.iwd of ladies and gantlemen in morning
dresses. It is a pretty scene. The drop curtain
is down, shutting off th«) gloom of the empty
auditoriiim, and the sta/re is converted into a
real dra^ving-room for the nonce, while the
green-r?»Dm beyond is devoted to the purposes
of real refreshment. It is no "property"
display The china i.< genuine, the tea and
coffee delicious, the. champagne cup e.x-
cellent. There is a piano on the stage,
and Mrs. Eduor Hall, one of the guests, is sihe-
ing as we enter. The truth is. Mr. George Colo-
man, the acting m,aiiager. is giving an "At
home" at the theatre, and he is surrounded by
some oi the ple.asantesti people in artistic socie-
ty. There is here to-d ay one bright, particular
star from your side of the water — Miss Fapny
Davenport, of the Fiftii-.-V venue Theatre, ^lie
is, indeed, a beautiful woman. Of tiie, simplest
iilitck silk and rashu'a*re. her toilet heigh':cus
h-r chamis of face and ficure. Iler sister
sistids by her siiie. aa interesting and graceful
3'oir:ig woman ; l)ut th»*actress is the foreground
of the px'ture. A littt^rateiir is telling
a pretty woman, who looks somewhat envious-
ly at the handsome creature from the
State?-, how she b-ft New-Vork in a shower of
roses. It was a hiippn.- thoucht of ?Ir. Coleinati
to criuvcrt the tlie.:itn> into a private hou.se- I
stig^est to Miss DaA'enport tliac the nolioji
mitrbr. b.^ adolitrsl in. New. York. "The Olyripie
nianagi'r w-ouM be orjy to(s jrlad to set the fa.shion
in ttiis respei't to a ciiy .so luirhly appreciati\^e of
artistic- deliglils. Lj.dy Perkins is here, liic-ing
a briirlii encounter oi wit i-nd repartee with Mr.
Dion Boutneaiilt and the ever younjf and gallant
I'Janiriii'-. iler helysiiip is tellin^r the courtly
vctenin that .she is a naturalized American,
and has jriven up all suspicion of vrhat
the En:;U-h call the American .accent.
5II.SS Braddon is here with her husband, John
Maxwell, tlie publisher, and they are asking
3Iis3 Davenport to co to Liclifleld House, Rich-
mond, whert; 3Iiss Ilraddoii receives her friends
every Sumlay evening. Miss Ada Cavendish,
one of the handsomest women on the English
stage, is here. A we!l-kno\vn clergyman, who
stands up for the drama, is describing to her
the kind of play which ho thinks serves the in-
terests of true religion. His voice is hiished by
the preliininarj- notes of a well-known b-allad,
picked daintily out from the keys of the piano
by Ur-'Ilttman, and Miss Philp, a succesiiful
ballad writer, sings one of her own songs with
great taste. .She is followed by a vocalist
of the other sex whom I do ^>ot know. Then
conversation becomes general all around, the
stage is grouped naturally, if not artistically,
with little knots of interestinghumanity. Every-
body is asking Mrs. Seymour after Jlr. Chartea
Reade. whom she has left at Mar;rate verynin-
well. Mr. F. C. Broughfon is paying special\at-
tention to the youngest lady on the stag^./
Presently Mr. Henry Neville arrives and is in<
troduced to Miss Davenport, and a lady who
does not belong to the profession whispers to a
lady friend, "what a lovely pair they would
make for some great new drama ! " Neville is
a type of the strong, athletic, hand-
some Englishman ; and Fanny Davenport is
— well, you know all about the lovely pose
of her figure, her eloquent eyes, the classic
contour of her features. Has not Sarony made
all this a delightful notoriety throughout the
States and beyond the confines of the Atlantic
Ocean. Next year, London I believe, is to be
made personally acquainted with the lady's
artistic merits. If her acting hits the town as
much as her beauty has already done, she will
make a sensation whenever she appears on the
London boards. Meanwhile, artistic London
seems to be doing its best to m.ake her flying
visit pleasant ; but she comes rather late in the
season to see the town at its best.
An incident of the Drury Lane stage this
week stands out in curious contrast to that just
described in connection with the Olympic. Mr.
Chatterton and some of his theatrical friends
Insist upon maintaining the Dramatic College as
a pnbUc institution. 3Ir. Ledger, of the Era,
and several supporters want to wind it up. They
were recently defeated in that direction, and a
new hoard of management elected. On Tues-
day Mr. Chatterton called a meeting at Drury
Lane to help the efforts of the committee in
promoting an athletic ffite at Lillie Bridge for
the benefit of the college. The Era
lias Imputed unworthy motives to the
lessee of Drury Lane, for which Mr.
Chatterton has commenced legal proceedings,
So-that when the reporter of the J?ra presented
him.self on the stage he was suddenly and un-
cerimoniously taken by the collar and con-
ducted to the street. The Era, as you are aware,
is the technical journal of the stag'e, a class pa-
per, through which the profession interchanges
fts wants, wishes, and requirements. It had an
early career of difficulties and struggle, but It is
now a valuable property, though lately the mjan-
agement has succeeded In making a great many
enemies, which is a mistake. j '
Mr. Henry Labonchere likes a row. He is
never so happy as when he is fighting. tJiust
now his life must be supremely bllasiul. !He
has raised a hornet's nest, and the air is full of
stings, all going for the editor and proprietor
of aVut*. Labonchere standi with his back to
the wall and fights like a bravo. The Theatre,
. ths Snortinaani 2>ra»ati^ Xatler. <md Man fair
are all down upon him. The Theatre'-t quarrel
is about Gerster, and the Theatn Is hacked by
the Sporting and Dramatk. To these Lahou-
chero has replied with Mathing, not to say bru-
tal, satire, calling ono critic a scamp and an-
other " a father and a wine merahant."
the Thtatrt replies to-day in a simi-
lar vein. Let .it no loneer be thoueht
that I certain Am'erican journals monopolize
personalities. The Theatre says there are
scamps and scamps, and that Labonchere has
written attacks on literary men, signing them
with the name of a lady to shelter him.self from
castigation, having a lively remembrance of
being horse-whipped at " Horabnrg ; that,
shunned by the reputable portion of society,
' ' he wns content to become an oracle in the dtmir
niowife," Mr. Labonchere has already an action
pendtne against the Hornet for something of
this trind, and he will now possibly make Mr.
Hawkins, the accomplished editor of the Theatre,
a defendant. Mr. Lucy, who was his colleague
on the irorW, chareed Mr. Labonchere with
plagiarizing his Manfair parliamentary article
m Truth. Mr Labouchere retorted that Lucy
is " a] manakin." Now Lucy, like all little men,
does pot care to have his stature referred to,
and he Ls proud of his hair, which Labouchere
has also criticised unkindly. So you can imagine
how May fair has tackled Truth in return. The
wrangle is delicbting journalistic society, be-
cause all the men are well known and clever.
Lucy is one of the brightest " own corre-
spondents " and parliamontaiT' men on the
Daily Neica. and was formerly the writer of
" Under the Clock " in the ll'orM. Mr. David-
son, whpm Tntth attacked on account of his
criticism of Gerster^s the miwldiil crttic of the
Timas, and one of^its most scholarly writers.
Mr. Hersee, who defended Davidson in
the. Snqrtina and Dramatic, is the father
of Boso Herseo, (well known in America,) and
the critie of the Obserrer, a position which he
hasifilled for several vears, Mr. Hawkins is a
member of the editorial staff of the limes, and is
just now trying to solve the problem of thesuccess
of a high class journal devoted to the theatre.
Mr. Labouchere wields one of the most caustic
and fearless pens in London. These gentlemen
have no doubt .succeeded in increasing the cir-
culations of their rival journals during
the past few weeks. They have also
excited a special public interest in
Gerster, who is now the heroine of rival parties
in the press and in the theatre. Tuesday week
saw an exceptional audience at Her Majesty's,
when Mme. (rerster was the Elvira in " I Puri-
tani" Doth sidesarenowexaggeratinghermorits
and shortcomincrs. One lot compares her to Patti
and Nil.sson ; the other delegates her to the re-
gions of mediocrity. They are both wrong.
Gerster is a capable artiste, and deserves to take
a place in the foremost ranks of her profession,
but as yet she must be content to take a back
seat in 'presence of Patti. Nilsson, and Albani,
Last night she had a distinguished reception as
^iltla in " Rigoletto," and impartial critics pro-
nounce tlie performance ono of remarkable
merit.
The operatic season at Covent Garden closed
on Saturday with " AMa," Mme. Albani, as the
heroine, contirmin^ the biRb opinion in which
she is held by audience and critics. At the clo.se
tile national' anthem was -sunK by the entire
cotupany, Patti giving the solo verses. The two
previous niirhts had been devoted to the benefit
of Patti and .\lbani, Patti appearing asjtarghe-
rital Albani as Ijucia. A New-York critic tells me
that .-Vlbani was not successful in your City. \
do not remember her visit to America, but it
is possiiile slie has improved since, for
she has become a popular favorite here with
-I very critical audiences. Her appearance in the
first niouth of the operatic season was regarded
as nil interesting event, and she held her own
%\itli easy jjrace and manifest strength in all »he
great works in which she was ca.st. During the
season she has a<liled to her rt^pertoire A'cii^a in
Warner's "II Vascello Fantasma." Mme. Al-
bani's first appearance this year was on the 28th
of ,\pril. Patti came to us on May 15. opening
in " I>inorah,'' since which time she has sung
her way ihrouffh a round of lier best-known
parts, and has lost none of her former
popularity. It has been noticed that her acting
is even more realistic than it w,is. her death
scene in " Traviata" being somewhat akin to
the interpretation of .1f(i(/((a3 in "The Belles."
by Henry Irving- She fixes her limbs with an
aw-ful rigidity, her eyes open, and her face
gliaskly pale. ' The /7oc(«r strengthens the pain-
ful character of the scene by closing the eyes as
if in death, and comji.'ising the iKidy. Mile.
Thalberar was one of the attractions of the
meniy month of May. which also brought us
Mlle,^Marinion. ThalherK's Mrs. Ford in " Le
VisiM> Cutuari di Windsor" was one of the suc-
ce.<S(is specially noted by critics. Among the
fir.st 'appearances here which are marked with
whit4* htone.s are tho.se of Signori t^ayarre,
Poiisib.lHni. ami Ordinas. Jlr. Gyo has rigidly
kept all his en^rai^em-mts with the public- Mr-
Carrodus. as usual, was the first violin in the
orehj'stra, Siirnor Vianes<5 conducting. Jlr.
J. Pittman, whom we have just met at the
Oljinpii- "At Home," has lent valuable a8si.st-
ance w-here orir.in effects have been a feature in
wvp^il notable compositions, Signor Taglia-
fieo b.-is again proved himself an efficient stage
mauii;;:er.
How suddenly and completely ambitions men
occasionally come to grief. Two years asro a
store was opened in Re;rent-street, outrivaling
.anything we had ever seen for beautiful and
t-,i.>-:ly dre.sses. 'I'he establishment was tttteil up
magniSccntly. It had salons worthy of a
palace, and customers were regaled with re-
freshments of the choicest kind.s. Mr. Ahlborn
l)ecame an acknowledged and worthy opponent
of Worth. Soon after the Dutchess of Edin-
burgh arrived in England. Jshoi.-.nlled al the
new store anil botlj^far-^t rntt^ytoilette. Jlr.
Ahlboru's adverti.-iements occupied columns and
pagtjs of the newspapers. At the close of his
first year he gave a magnificent entertainment
to his employes, which he announced would be-
come an annual festival. His spirited speech to
his people ou this occasion was reported in
some of the journals. An ilhtstrateil paper
printed a picture of the scene. Ahlborn was
establisheif. Everybody -said so. Neighboring
tradesmen were jealous. A crowd of people from
moruing untU night stood round his widows
admiring the wax ladies dressed in the h^fhest
style of fashion. But .'Vhlbom cotUd not hold
on. i One morning I passed the store. It was
closed. The next day it was onnounced that
Worth's rival had run away. Then it was dis-
covered that he was steeped to the life in debt.
He was made bankrupt. His beautiful store
was covered with auction bills. A neighboring
tradesman bought the .stock "at a great reduc-
tion from cost.' and sold it off " at an alarming
s.ac,rifice-" Jlr. Ahlborn was wiped out. He
was forgotten until yesteiflay, when his wife
sued him for a divorce on the ground of cruelty
\and adultery, and got a decree in her favor,
) with tho rignt to have the custody of her chil-
dren.
If !Mr- Ruskin sneers at Sir Coutts Lind-say's
examples of art at the Grosvenor tjallery, he
will no doubt approve of that gentleman's prac-
tical action in regard to the Sunday question.
He has announced to his friends that he will oc-
casionally throw open the gallery on Sundays
to li.OtiO working men, whom he will supply
with tickets through the Secretaries of the
trades-unions. I expect the working men, while
they will fully appreciate this liberality, will not
care much for the pictures, which are all more
or less eccentric studies. Here and there he
will come upou a work full of humanity, but on
the whole the exhibition is interesting only to^
artists, art students, and their patrons. The^
decorations and furnishing of the rooms are in
admirable taste, and next year the public is
promised a collection of works embracing a
broader field of art than that to which this first
exhibition is confined.
The Pope, it is said, has sent " the Golden
Rose of V irtue " to the wife of Gen. Sherman,
a I.idy whose name is well kno^vn at Rome as^i
collector of " Peter's pence." The Empres-s
Eucenie and the ex-Queen Isabella have both
received a similar token of the holy father's
favor. The Pope tvill surely have some em-
blems of his good pleasure for England soon.
His emissaries in Great Britain are- doing won-
ders. There are daily conversions. The Ritu-
aUsts prepare the way. These High Churchmen
are the cause of great an.xiety to all classes of
Protestants. Educated politicians charge them
■with intrigues in favor of Kitssia, the outcome
of their yearning to bring tlio Greek Church
into a united communion of Christendom.
Russia appears to have many mysterious friends
in England.
It is to be hoped the Admiralty has not put its
finger on a traitor in the naval ser\ice. This
department has recently issued a guide-book to
the character and working of the new torpedo.
It is marked ''Private and confidential." £ach
copy issued is registered, and every officer to
whom the volume is intrusted has to give a for-
mal receipt, which is duly posted at head-quar-
ters. On board one of her Jlajesty's ships yes-
terday a Lieutenant, when called upon for his tor-
pedo-book, could not find it. At present he is
unable to^ve a proper account of the loss. His
brother officers express a lively interest In the
affair. Jleanwhile, the Lieutenant is looking
evetywhere for themissing volume. -This sudden
effort of secrecy on the part of the Admiralty
is curious. Only the other day the dock-yard
officers and engineers were showing Russian
officers over the English ships, arsenals, and
factories, ^nd giving them all the information
they desired upon everything. Some of the
journals called attention to this singular com-
plaisance, but the authorities saw no reason to
hide anything from any of the foreign visitors
who bring introdnotions from their Govem-
menta and desire to go behind the scenes ot our
factories and ih^bulhUiur vanW

so promptly rehised the demand of the Federal Gov-
ernment for troops, mad*» thronch a tyrant who had
degraded the position he held. He then proceeded to
consider briefly the oxtraordinary condition of the
country, expressing the belief that the events of the
LfRt fesv months would be recorded by the historian
with peculiar erapiiasiR, and unUke anjrthin* known
in modem history. A great empire, extending from
tlie Ajtlantic to the Pacific, hod fallen to pieces-

jl DIED I.V SIS CARRIAGE.
The . Middletown iVcw of Saturday says :
Mr. George Conning, a prominent citizen of Hamp-
^onbnrg, died suddenly yesterday, Aug. 3, from
apopl]eiy, at the age of 77 years. During the after-
noon |he left his home in his carriage to visit a friend
named 3Iadden, living some five or six miles distant.
He started to return about 4 o'clock, and had pro-
ceeded but a short distance, when he was attached
with apoplexy, and probably died almost instantly.
After death his body stUl remalnml upright on the
seat of tlie carriage, and the horse traveled slowly on.
Messrs. David Brick and John Jewell, Jr., chanced
to be driving behind him in the same direction.
Their attention was first aroused to the fact that
something was wrong by finding in the road a hat
and soon after a handkerchief, the latter marked
with the name, 'G. Conning.* Fearing some accident
had happened to their aged ueighbor, they drove
briskly on for a half mile, when they came up with
Mr. Conning, sitting bolt upright in his buggy, the
horse leisurely walHnf, ana the reins dragging on
the ground. Mr. Jewell got out, -ran to the nurse's
bead and stopped him, and then attempt e<^ to wake
Mr. Conning from what he smiposed wa7 a sleep.
FaUing, he examined closer and found to his horror
that his aged neighbor was sleeping the sleep that
kno^vs no waking.

County of Cayuga, for grand larceny, for a term of
four years, at the State Prison at Anbnm. He is
pardoned on the recommendation of the Judge who

sentence is commuted to one year and six months,
with deduction. He would have been sentenced to
a less term jiad the petition for leniency, signed by
the eomplainant and other interested parties, reached
the court before the sentence had been imposed.
He hod no counsel, but pleaded guilty. His retetives
made good all the loss occasioned by the crime. The

THE DE WATER-NIVER CASE.
THE TWO ACCUSED MEN CONVICTED OF CON-
SPIRING TOGETHER AGAINST DB WATER'S
WIFE TO PROCURE EVIDENCE TO BE USED
IN a' trial fob DIVORCE.
The Elmlra Gazette says that the trial In that
city of young York De Water and Benjamin Niver,
his hired man. for conspiring agiunst the former's
wife, was ended on Friday by a verdict of gnllty. It
says : ** The defendant, York De Water, is a son of
I«ewi8 De Water, a farmer in the town bf Southport,
and a brother of Wright Da Water, of this city, and
resides on the old De Water homestead in the town
of Southport, between Jones', on the Plank road,
and Caton Centre. He is a young man, hardly 30
years old. short, thick-set, and rugged, of fair, florid
complexion, sturdy head weU set on a short neck and
broad shoulders. Benjamin Niver, the other de-
fendant, has been for several years York's * hired
man.' He is about 20 years old boyish
in appearance, cool and coUected, slight in
bnUd, and of a palUd, sicklied hue of countenance.
The crime charged upon the defendants was that
Niver got into the bed while Ella De Water was
asleep, and In the absence of York, in pursuance of
an agreement and conspiracy between him and York
for the purpose of making evidence upon which an
action might be brotight against Ella for divorce. The
admi-s-slons of Niver, while in Pennsylvania, were
shown to the effect that he said he had'an agreement
with De Water to be found where he was. The
prisoners were represented by John Murdoch. Esq..
and Mr. Robert Stephens, who stoutly contested the
ca«se step by step. The introduction of evidence oc-
cupied six days, the opening and closing arguments
of counsel nearly two. The case was concluded yes-
terday afternoon bv the rendition of a verdict of ciiilty.
The line of the defense was that the wife of De Water
voluntarily permitted improper relations to exist be-
tween lierself and Niver, and whfle it was possibl**
that the husband connived at the oflFensej^ yet
the measures he took to establish her alteged
adultcn.' and confirm his suspicions were only those
natural and ordinary under the circumRtances'. It is
understood that the first ballot of the jurj' wa.s
unanimous for conviction. Mr. Murdoch, of the de-
fendant's counsel, moved for n stay of sentence, that
a motion for a new trial micht be argued on execp-
tions taken. The motion was granted, and the rase
wiU be taken for review to the General Term in Sep-
tember. If the verdict of the jury shall be carried
Into effect the majcimnTn punishment of the law is

WITHDJ the arctic CIRCLE— PECULIARITIES
OP THE NORWEGIAN COAST AND OF THE
PEOPLE.
The Rochester Union makes the following ex-
tracts from a pri^-ate letter dated at Tromsoe, Noi^
way. Jtily 3 :
'•Westaamed into this pretty Arctic town night
before la.«t. and shaU make our home here a week
longer, while a portion of the party finish their
northern trip aronnd North Cape to Vadsoe. We
crossed the mountains by means of horses and car-
riaffci, usine 120 for our ride of 200 miles. The law
requires every station — from six to ten mUes apart —
to furnish travelers fresh horses within half an hour
of their arrival. We are now two days into the Arc-
tic Circle, and where we now live the suu shines
briehtly at midnight from May 20 to July 22.
Even two days before reaching this point
the sun was so strong at midnight that
the l-idies wanted shades. This coast is
jierfet-tly beautiful, or. I should have said, grand, as
well as wonderful. For nearly 2.000 mUes the
I.'.land.s are so thick— so close together — that it Is like
sailing up a river which expands into lakes. The
whole distance is overshadowed with snow-capped
mountAins from 3,000 to 5.000 feet in height, rising
abruptly from the water, while in the distance are to
be seen those which are much higher. We were ex-
posed only once or twice to the open sea, and then
only two or three hours at a time- Tho air here is
very exhilarating. Yesterday the children picked
wild flowers as we were walking. an3 within a few
feet made snowballs. It is a wonder that in so short a
season anythinccanbeerown in this latitude, and yet
grass sprincs up rapidly, often growing an inch in
24 hours. They nave but two seasons really — 10
months of Winter and two of Summer. AltJiough
the seaaon is so long yet the feords never freeze, and
I think we aften have as cold weather In New-York.
The occupation of the place is fishing, mostly her-
ring and codfish- AU are well to do ; no rich and no
poor. The people are inteUieent, the masses re-
ceiving a fair ewiucation. But "what a queer place
and what queer customs '. From the belfry of the
church between the hours of 8 at night and o A. M.
a man shouts the time of night through
a large tin horn at intervals of every
half h our. The dergyme n wear large,
wide mflfs. We have just been to see the
Ijaps. some three or four miles from the town. They
were notified the day before and for a small fmin
spent the whole dav amonc the mountains gathering
their reftideer which they drove down for us to see —
some -iOO of them in number. It was such a novel
sight to see them coming down the steep mountains.
They will not live low down, as they eat only rein-
deer moss which grows where it is very cold. ' Cows
will not eat where they have been as the scent of the
little hair they shed Is very dffensive to them. Wo
go from here to the feoiUs around Molde and Bergen
and purpose spending a few weeks there ; from
thenco we go to . Hamburg, through Germany to
Geneva. reaching^J^ice about the Ist of November.
The trip so far has been one of great pleasure."
SONG OF THE YEMONTERS.
FRAXK yrALTTORTH AT HO^E.
The Snratogian of Friday sjays : '* Mrs. "Wal-
worth and her son arrived home yesterday morning
on the first train from the West. When first notified
of tho signing of Frank's pardon, Tuesday morning.
Jlrs. Walworth took the early train for Auburn, ar-
riving there in the afternoon- She had previously
notified Dr. ilacDonald, of Auburn, by telegraph, of
the pardon, so that her son was prepared to meet
her on her arrival. Tho entire family are now at the
Walworth homestead. Rev. Father Clarence Wal-
worth being also a c^uest. All day yesterday Mrs.
Walworth was in receipt of congratulatory tokens,
nnd quite a number of the more intimate friends of
the lamily called to pay their respects. We need
hardly say that the family circle is once more a
happv one. Only those who know how earnestly
Mrs. ^^alworth has labored for the restoration of heir
boy can adequately appreciate the satisfaction ex-
perienced on the receipt of Gov. Robinson's pardon-
We do not believe that there are many persons in
Saratoga who do not heartUy rejoice at the result,
Frank's health is not good, but we do not doubt that
liberty, care, and good diet wiU do much to restore
him. A journey to Europe is not eontemplated at
present."
The Syractise C<ynrier of Thursday morning
says: "Frank Walworth, tho parricide, who re-
ceived a pwrdon from Gov. Robinson yesterday, ai^
Hved in this city from Auburn this moruing at 1
o'clock, in company with his mother, who has de-
voted herself since bis incarceration to freeing her
unfortunate son from a terrible fate, which befell
him on her account. Together they sat in tho wait-
ing-room at the Central Depot, ujitU the anival
of the St- Louis express, which they boarded
nnd departed for Albany at 2 o'clock. Happily,
very few persons knew of their presenct*. nence
they were spared the pain and mortification of being
made a pnbUc show of. Walworth came out of
prison last evening and was received into a carriage
at the gates by his mother. They drove across to
the depot, and, without alighting, waited for the
train, which brought them to Syracuse- A glance at
the pale and hajargard face of young Walworth is suf-
ficient to convince one that nis pardon is an act of
the purest humanity, if not aUo of the most exact
justice. His hair has grown long since his protracted
confinement, and he wlows it to fall in heavy locks
upon his shoulders. He was dressed plainly and
spoke but little to his mother, who remained witJi
him and attended to his Uttle wants with untiring
devotion. "
A WHSTERN FISH STORY,
The EvansviUe (Ind.) Courier thu-s tells it:
' 'Mr. William Todd was fishing with a trout-Une in the
Tennessee Biver. After catching several fish he went
home, leaving his line out. The same evening ho
went back to take it up, but it was nowhere to be
seen, and he supposed It lost forever. A few days
after, Mr. Elkins was going down the river and dis-
covered the float of a Ime about a mile below where
Mr. Todd was fishing. He aud some friends who
were In the boat started to take up tho line, but on
reaching the hook they found on it, instead of a sup-
posed log. a hideotis monster, that so frightened them
that they dropped it, but concluded to tow it down
to Pine Bluff. They ptilied It out on reaching there,
and found it to be a uondescript fish or alligHtor. It'
was dead, but had not bitten at the bait. The hook

T-EOP ODE ATTRIBUTED TO ETHAN
ALLEN.
ITS AUTHORSHIP FINALLY EETTI^D— JOHN
G. WHITTXEB ACKNOWLEDGES IT AS HIS,
BtTT ONLY AS "a BOT'S PRACTICAL
^ JOKE."
From the Burlingtcn Free Press, Aug. 4-
The authorship of this stirring ode "i^ been
suspected by some, but known to few except Ita au-
thor. It has been attributed to Mr. Whittier, as wdl
as to Ethan Allen and others ; but though he has
privately admitted the authorship of it of late years
in conversation with friends, Mr. Whittier has never,
we believe, given any public acknowledgment of it,
nor has he recognized it by admitting it to a place in
any edition of his works. The corrcBpondence pub-
lished below gives the literary histor>- of the produc-
tion, and shows that although supposed to have been
composed or sung bv the "Green Mountain Boys of
1779. " it isonly as Cowper's poem, • ■ I am monaivh of
aU I sur\'ey " is supposed to have beencomposed or sung
by Alexander Selkirk, the prototype of Robinson
Crusoe^as a representative song.'such as the set-
tlers of the New-Hampshire Grants might, cotild,
would, or should have sung. This," song'* may bo
found in Miss Hemenway's revised edition of the
Poets and Poetry of Vermont, with appropriate notes,
page 25 ; also in Ethan AUenand the Green Mountain
Jleroes of '76, by Henry W. De Puy, in a note to
page 405. Sung by a choir of strong baritones to
the march in "Xorma," it would stir the blood at
our Vermont Centeunial as nothing else could. But

of this as one of the sonirt composed or sung by
Ethan Allen, as a Representative in Congress, in a
speech there, once said or intimated, and then grandr
ly recited it. In truth it is a very stirring ode, and
fuU of the spirit of the times referred to. Am I ask-

Oak Knoll. Danvers, Mass., )
29th 7th mo. 1877. 5
Dear Friestd: The "Song of Vermonters" was
written in 1833 or '4, end was an attempt at literary
mystification hardly excusable even in a young
writer, I was curious to see if it could l>e received
as an old-time production. It was printed in Buck-
ingham's Sew-EnQland Magazine, and remained un-
suspected for nearly a quarter of a century. How it
was at last discovered aa mine I cannot conceive, as I
had never owned it. I was early interested in the
history of Vermont and in Ethan AUen, whose life
and adventurea awakened the enthusiasm even of a
Quaker boy, whose peace principles at that time were
traditionary rather than the result of serious con-
vincement. I have no copy of the poem, and have
no clear idea of Its character in a Uterary or ethical
point of ^iew. In both respects I fear it is sadly de-
fc'tive; and It is not without regret that I find the
boy's practical joke still aUt-e and confronting me in
late nwnhood. I am, verv truly, thv friend,
John g. ^VHITTIER.

printed in our columns in former years, never tires

And arming for battle while canting for peace ;
On our East crafty Mesbecht has gathered his band.
To hflCig up our leaders and eat out our land.
Ho, all to the rescue ! For Satan shall work
No gain for his legions of Hampshire and York !
Thev claim our possessions — the pitiful knaves —
The'ocibute we pay shaU be prisons and graves !
Let Clinton and Ten Brock.J with bribes in their
bands.
Still seek to divide tis and parcel our Iwads ;
We've coats for our traitors whoever they are —
The warp is of feathers, the filling of tar !
Does the '* Old Bay State *' threaten ? Does Con-
gress complain ?
Swarms Hampshire in arms on our borders again 1
Bark the war-dogs of Britain aloud on the lake ?
Let 'em come \ what they con, they are welcome to
take.
WTiat seek they among us ? The pride of our wealth
Is comfort, contentment, and labor, and health.
And lauda which as freemen wo only hav© trod.
Independent of all save the mercies of God.
Yet we owe no aUeglance ; we bow to no throne ;
Our ruler is law anS the law is onr own ;
Our leaders themselves are our own fellow-men,
\Vbo can handle the sword, or the scythe, or the pen.
Onr wives are all true, and our daughters are fair,
With their blue eyes of smiles, and their light flowing
hair ;
AU brisk at their wheels tUI the dark even-fall
Then blithe at the sleigh-ride, the husking, and balL
We've sheep ou the hillside ; we*ye cows on the plain ;
And gay-tasseled corn-fields, and rank-growing gram :
There are deer on the mountains, and wood-pigeous
fly
From the crack of onr muskets, like clouds on the
sky.
And there's fish In our streamlets and rivers, which
take
Their course from the hills to our broad-bosomed
lake ;
ThroAgh rock-arched "R^nooski the salmon leaps
And the portly shad follows all fresh from the sea.
Like a sunbeam the pickerel gUdes through his pool ;
And the spotted trout .sleeps where the water is cool.
Or darts from his shelter of rock and of root.
At the beavers quick plunge, or the angler's pnrstiit.
And ours are the mountains which awfnlly rise.
Till they rest their green heads on the top of the
skies :
And ours are the forests nnwasted. unshorn.
Save where the wild path of the tempest is torn.
And though savage and wild be this climate of ours,
And bri^be otir season of fruits and of flowers.
Far dearer the blast round our mountain which raves, .
Than the sweet Summer zephyr which breathes over
^aves.
Hurrah for Vermont ! for the land which we tiH

Leave the harvest to rot on the field where it grows ;
And the reaping of what for the reaping of foes.

in the St. Alban'a School-room. Baldwin's GardMMi
nnder the Presidency of Rev. A. H- Mackonoehlo, to
discuss the book known an The Priest in AbsoUsti»n.
The.Chainnan explained that two reaolutiona wtiold
be subtnitted, bearing upon clrctimstanres which had »
occurred lately, with regard to the book In qneaticai
and to the Society of the HoIt Cross. The attack
made upon the book could hardly be cw^
posed to arise from any great zeal for the jrmlj
of pubUc mormls, aa for an Intention, either eoowu
or unknown to those who romraenned the a^tatioix,
of attacking the Society of the Holj- Cross. The ao-
ctetv was an association of priests for the deepening
of their own spiritual life, and in order to aid one an-
other in their work such subjects as that of the way
of getting souls would very often come before them.
It was found that young priests experienced great
difBcultj- in (raining instruction at to that part of thcdr '
duty, notwiilistaxtding one or two old book* on the
subject, which touched rather on abstract principles,
and it was suggested that some, l>ook should be pifr
pared for the purpose. The society was i*.
sponsible for mooting the idea, and it had been
responsible during the last two jrears for publishing
the iKwk, in order, not to extend, but to limit its dr-
culation. Tlie Chairman having quoted aome por-
tion of the book to dispute the rharpes which. nad
l>een broncht acainst itf argued that physlcixiia had
to deal with works which the worU called IndeUoate,
but it would not be thought that a mefllcaa student
was dischaigir.jr bis duty lo the pubUe if a feeling of
delicacy prevented biin from acquainting hisiseU
with facts appertaining to hiK professiqu. He tlAught
thev would agree with him that the Society of the"
Holy Cross was not one which would be like*?* to ta-
6ue an immoral or indecent book. Col. ChBder^
did not think this was a time for them to be despon^^*^
ent, for they had arrived at a point on which tbey
were impregnable- Rt^ferrinjj to tho recent meeting
at Exeter HaU. he said it made one quite indignant
to think that persons who knew nothing about what
they were speaking should dare to question the purl*
tv of those who taught and practiced confession, ft
they were to question a man privately on thla »nb-
ject he would admit that he liad no ground to' atacd
upon but ordinarj- report. Mr. J. A- Hoaton ancned
that the first remedy was to take from tho Blsh-
ops the privUege of sitting in the House of Lords,
because that would teach them they were not first
of aU peers, and then ministers of G«d. but that
their political nower as ministers of God eame from
their being sucn and their proper exercise of it. J%
would remove from them the great tcmpSatlon to
throw themselves into the life of those arccmd them,
and thus become poUtical representatives of the Es-
tablished Church of Kngland In the Home of. Lords.
After further remarks on the same snojeH'by ilr.
H. C. Richards and Dr. C-owell, resolutions appro\ing
of the firm action taken bv the Society of the Holy
Cross in ref using, in spite o? the strong prcasure put
upon them, to repudiate the t>ook called The Pnen
in AhsolutioTi^ and regretting theft the. Bishopr
shotdd have allowed the subject of confession to bt
brought before the House of Lords without prsvioitf

In this city he met with a cordial, hearty greeting,

<BAIL R£SaLT02PS "FISST LOVE IS
BEST."
tatST hOTE IS BEST. A Sentimental Sketch. By
QAiXi HAM11.TOX. Boston : Esrss & Lactkiat. 187 1 .
Gail Hamilton has no need in her pleasant
preface to apolosize for poaching on the novel-
bt's manor. There are no reserved romancist's
rights. Any one may roam through the coverts
of fancy. Doctor, minister, newspaper oorre-
spcHident, lightning-rod man, politician — all dare
elnteh their fowling-pieces, beat np the thick-
ets, and bring down their coy maidens or lan-
gnishlne swains. Of course, there is game and
game, but the strangest misconceptions arise at
times as to the character of the feriB natures.
" By the lime light of romance" what has been
thought by the sportsman to be a wild swan, in
broad day often tarns out to be a very tame
goose, and the daintiest of love birds nothing
more than quite ]^saic pigeons.
Hiss Dodge's Katherlne Haviland, the heroine,
emerges from her school days *' as strong as a
young moose," which ia indicative of a physique
may be ten times as powerful as that of a cari-
bou or a gazelle. Kate eats cakes, candy, and
mince-pie, and dotes on pickles. There is a
great deal of pleasant freshness about Kate.
Certain very sweet yet absurd idiosyncrasies of
Kate, Miss Dodge tells lovingly, and descants
about with keener insight than it is given toman
to describe. Kate Is a girl with a grievance,
and naturally drops into poetry as a consolation.
There are two poems in the early chapters of
First Love is Sest. The authoress, somewhat
doubtful as to these metric-vl productions, frank-
ly indulges in the belief that had these poems
been- sent to Sarper's Magaiins they
would have been returned. We must
frankly state that we are of Gail
Hamilton's opinion. A Mr. Glynn, a rich banker,
who has been in love with Katy ever since slie
was a two-year-old, proposes to Kate, and is
respectfully declined. Kate is in search of an
Ideal, and thinks she finds her hero in Walter
Laballe, whose real name is Sam Ball, and Kate
and Walter plight their troth. Laballe is a
handsome sham and an empty nothing. This
character of a purposeless, aimless creature, is
very cleverly described. Kate, who has noble
aspirations, finds out the vacuity of her ideal.
There is a curious bit of work just here; where
Kate for the first time doubts the sincerity of
Laballe's love. Kate has left her rustic home
for the city, and is given to spriiikling herself
with American cologne. Laballe whose taste is
imobjectionable, snifiiS at a woman who smells
like ' a pudding. Certainly American
cologne is a brutal compound, having
oil of cassia for itsbase, while the original Maria
Farina only indulges in the delicate oil of neroli.
One migbt almost side with Tiaballe, who ob-
jects to Katie's perfumed unpleasantness.
Young ladies and gentlemen who read novels
will learn their lesson from this episode, and
ponder on an accident which forever divides the
fates of two people. A letter from Kate, sent
to Walter, in which she expresses her doubts as
to "whether the twain were made for one another,
which letter Laballe answers, decides the mat-
ter, and Katie's first love receives a crushing
blow. Misfortune then comes to Katie's father,
and Mr. Haviland dies a beggar. Mr. Glynn
now proffers his hand, and though Kate does
not love him, still hankering after her first love,
she eventually marries him. Glynn, by a
manly, yet tender, straightforward course,
makes Kate love him, and the book closes leav-
ing both reader and Kate just a little bit in
doubt^hether first love ia the best or not, after
alL
Of course the situation is not novel, for
there is nothing new, romance-wise, under the
sun ; still the idea ia prettily worked out, and in
a certain measure artistically. Gail Hamilton,
without being over paragraphic, does, how-
ever, write in what maybe called "skreeds."
If, in journalistic work, the desideratum
seems to be a certain clearness of style, and
a determination to keep at or on the subject
under discussion, once that newspaper people
have the opportunity to leave the beaten track
and go into romance, they revel in the enjoy-
ment of their liberty, and take undue literary
flings. AH topics are seized. Every bough
of the tree in the orchard, no matter
whether the fruit be ripe or unripe,
la plucked, and an accmuulation of very mis-
cellaneous and indigestible products is the re-
stilt. Why should Kate and her husband di-
verge into astronomical dissertations and the
possibility of other worlds ? How their future
connubial felicity can be brought about by specu-
lations as to Saturn's rings no man nor woman
can telL Into the olla podrida of life, bits of
orreries, and shreds of tattered theologies, no
amount of cooking will ever render savory or
palatable. If the opening chapters of the book
are natural and pleasing, lots of unnecessary
cleverness which Glynn gives mouth to are sug-
gestive of real crazn. Here and there from
Katie there comes little bits of love which glow
like hot coals, and encroach on the domain of
passion, for when a clever woman writes about
love she has inapirations which a man is inca-
pable of representing. Kate has a way of bur-
rowing her pretty head into her husband's
Taistcoat, and on one occasion talks as follows :
*' * I wish. O, I sorely wish,' hiding her face in the
■mple provision made for such contingencies, * I had
aever kissed — any one — but you.' "
Host men, it strikes us, would not hanker
ifter such knowledge, and such declarations oh
the part of women would be eccentrici-
ties of contrition which could willingly
be spared. Little clevernesses, snappy
things, pop their heads up now and
then through the text and mar it. A
woman ia said to have preternatural clearness,
and inexhaustible kindness, " so, between the
two, the takes the curve of piquant popularity."
A point is made on the ^expression that a boy
ean be taken " by the scruff* of the neck and
pitched into the street," whereas you' cannot
treat girls in the same way, because they have
no Bcruft— but only a " ruff." Gail Hamilton is
over-fond of " bringing people into line " and
" pnahing things into line." It is unfortunate
that more than once a really pleasant and bril-
liant page Is hurt by a half -slang expression.
What there is about the book is a certain ease
of manner, a rollicking humor, and a dashing
freedom, which will be sure to commend it.
Qsil Hamilton, in her preface, says she was
mowed up for some weeks, and hence the book.
Without wishing.the authoress the imprison-
ment of an Arctic Winter, more seclusion
• and mors work might have singularly improved
the book. Perhaps, like Paschal, Gail Hamil-
ton " had no time to be shorter." Firtt Love is
B»$t ia by no means " the calf " Gail H^am-
Uton would deem us think it, for she has sacri-
ficed on the altar of romance- quite a lusty and
Iriiky yearling.
UTB ASD LETTERS OP GEOBGE CABOT. By
HmsT Cabov Lodok Boston: larrLK, Baowx &
Co. 1877.
The biography of a man of note in Mas-
sachusetts during the first thirty years of the
Independence of the United States will natural-
ly interest the general pabUc in only a moder-
ate degree. It is one of several biograpliies
covering separate portions of the history of
Uanaehnaetts which are well calculated to bring
vividly before Bostonlans the actual people
■od the interests of the people who made their
dty -what It is. The biographer is a great-
grandaon of the subject ot these memoirs, and
the material from which he draws his facts lies
(ifalafiy In letters in the possession of families
with membas of which George Cabot corre-
■raBd«d.tovUcb«naddadlatt««i W w Xrea
CoL Piekering, now in the poaaesdoh ei^ the
MassafehusettS Hlstorieal Socle^, and those to
and £rom Wolcott, from the Wolcott manu-
scripts in the keeping of the Historicitt Socie^
of Connecticut. There are also letters from
Washington and Hamilton, copied from the
originals in the national archives.
George Cabot entered Harvard College in
176G, but owing to pecuniary reasons staid
only two years. Then he took to the sea, and In
workinghisown way as Captain and merchant
acquired habits ot self-reliance that never de-
serted him. The name of Cabot ia given by
Stow, in the Chronicle of England, as that of one
of the gentleman who came into England with
William the Conqueror. The New-England
family came from Jersey, which the biographer
thittks was the original home of the race. The
name is found in France, England, Belgium,
and Italy, and we are given to un-
derstand that the Jersey stock was
in numbers and arrangement not un-
like a Scottish clan ; persons of all classes
in the community possessed a common name
and common origin, but beyond this there was
no relationship among them. The test of the
relationship of Cabots In different CQtmtries is
the coat of arms, which decorates the cover of
tnis book. The device is three fishes, or, in the
Jersey phrase, ""three chabots." This was a
part of the coat of arms of the Chabot family
of Poitou, famous in French history.
This descendant of an old Norman stock, ac-
cording to the archteology of greater or less
accuracy which we find here, was In the United
States Senate from 1T.& to 1796, when he
resigned his seat. He was a staunch Federalist,
and eager in the battle'. Letters from many
persons of note testify to the respect enter-
tained for his opinion. In 1798 he declined
the Secretarysliip of the Xavy, and his life
from that time on is to be traced politically
through his correspondence with various active
politicians on affairs of moment to the nation.
He died in 1823. Peter Pariey writes that
among the members of the Hartford Conven-
tion, George Cabot, the President, was the
most imposing. He was over six feet in height,
broad-shouldered, and of a manly step ;
his hair .was white, for he was past 60 ; his eye
blue, his complexion slightly florid. He was. in
fact, Washingtonian in his, whole air and bear-
ing, as was proper for one who was Washing-
ton's friend. Daniel Webster testified in New-
York, at a New-England dinner given in 1843,
that Cabot was not only trusted by Washington,
but consulted on all occasions connected with
the administration ot the finances, the estab-
lishment ot the Treasury Department, the im-
position of the first rates of' duty, and with
everything that belonged to the commercial
system of the United States. The book forms
a handsome octavo of CIC pages.

GLEANmGS FROMTHE MAES
MRS, ARTHUR. By .Mr-*. Oucenxxt. iCew-Tork :
RiJCPE& 3b BaoTSESS. 1B77.
Mrs. Oliphant may bo sai(? to occupy a
fairish position, in the nick of English romance-
writers. If not nncourteous to the lady, by
fiirther carrying ont ihe sporting simile, Mrs.
Oliphant is among the second-rate ones. If
there are no brilliant dashes of speed, a certain
amount of endurance, a steady jog-trot, and a
persistence are Mrs. OUphant's redeeming
qualities. Such a strong publication as the
ComhiU Jfagazine is the track over which Mrs.
Oliphant ambles, and, entered under the name'
of* Carita," the authoress at the present moment
is taking another long spin, and will undoubt-
edly, in. time, reach her Jlnis, and a twenty-
fourth or a forty-second raco or ^orel
will be added to her performances. At best
Mrs. OUphant's norels, from her having writ/
ten perhaps too much, scarcely rise to-day
above the level of the commonplace. It is one
of the misfortunes of literary workers, no mat-
ter how conscientious they may be. that their
persistency, their constant appearance, in time
fags out the public. It is only given to superla-
tive, inexhaustible talent to write book aft^
book, and to hold a reading world under the
thrall of genius. Certainly Mrs, OUphant's pro-
ductions never did possess any such divine at-
tributes. Such Uttle spurts which ilrs.! Oli-
phant once indulged in, apparent her© and
there in her early books, as Tiu Chronicles
of Carlingford, have all died out In
a monotonou-s. humdrum kiud of way. without
much perception of true art, couched in unex-
ceptionable English, utterly wanting in g > and
spirit, Mrs. OUphant's novels proceed. If Eng-
lish readers are satlsliod, we suppo.so we Ameri-
cans should be contented. The plot of Jfr^. Ar-.
thitr presents the not uncommon story \ of a
young man of good family. Arthur Curtia, son
of a Baronet, who marries Nancy Bate*, wjho is
the daughter of a t^-coUector, the father ;»}me-
what given to hot rum and water. Nancy is a
shrew and a vixen, with all the charactoristics
of a low-bred woman. Kancy is decidedly hot-
headed, and not only threatens people with phys-
ical punishment, but does more than once, yi-
rago-like. punch those who incite her ire. ^ancy.
to add to her charms, is entirely uneducated,
and, with curious tergiversation, glories at times
in the vulgarity of her own surroundings, and
then again has insane longings to enter into
that higher realm to which her husband be-
longs. Sir John Curtis and Lady Curtis I make
advances, but Nancy behaves outrageously, in-
sulting the whole family. Arthur Curtis, is a
weak spooney, wanting ia moral force, and
most readers would have so Uttle sympathy
with him in the light of an outraged husband,
as to state that " it served him right." At last
matters get so bad that somehow or
other, not very clearly explained,
Arthur and Nancy separate. Just
here Mrs. OUphant finds it convenient, in
about 15 lines, to make away with the entire
Vulgar family. In a single sentence the nu-
merous Bates family, rum and water and all.
are entirely wiped out of existence, Bates'_pa/er,
Bates mater, and the brothers and sisters. Most
of them die, and those that don't go to New-
Zealand. This may be convenient for the au-
thoress, but is a cataclysm of a most unartistic
character. Having thus cleared the scenes of
vulgarity, Nancy, who has remained In Eng-
land under the name of Mrs. Arthur, hires a
Uttle cottage at a convenient distance from
Sir John Curtis' mansion. Thero Nancy edu-
cates herself. Her system of tuition, it miist
be confessed. Is pecuUarly meagre. The young
woman goes through % course of chalk: draw-
ing and the preparation of Autumn leaves.
Fortified with her sketch-book and ?iort(^
sicctiSf which must have imparted to Nancy an
overflowing supply of human knowledge. Sir
John, Lady Curtis, and Lucy Curtis, Arthur's
sister, each and aU, at different times, and un-
tiikn'own to each other. faU in love with Nancy.
Matters having gone on thus swimmingly, Ar-
thur Curtis comes back at the right; time,
and Nancy, fainting at the precise moment,
(though rebelUous to the last,) has happiness
thrust on her. The reader is somewhat left in
doubt as to whether after aU Mrs. Nancy Cur-
tis wox^d not have made a most
uncomfortable wife. Mrs. OHphant, in
the book, makes frequent references
to Major Pendennis, and the methods the clevar
Major would have employed under aimilar cir-
cumstances, which reflections might have been
spared, as they rather tend to show how like a
colossus Thackeray towers over the lady who
wrote Mrs. Arthur. In many respects the book
is not pleasing, on account of a tinge of snob-
bery which pervades it That ever constant
under-plot, the st^xeotvped double love business,
which ia the foil to the leading event, is palp-
ably weak and puny. Mrs. Arthur, we are

—The death of Frederick Wilhelm HacklUnder
removes from Germany one of the few novelists she
posessos who describe life as It is and not as It
ought to be. There remains Victor Sheffel, Gnstave
FreitK?, Spielhagen, and Marlitt, who can write
readable novels, but Hackliinder, who proda.'ed GO
works in all surxwissed every one of them lutho"
healthy action of his first novel, which was also his
best. It was written when he was 25 years of age,
and its success Induced him to alopt literature as a
profesiion. His characters in this novel are as wall
known in Germany as Mr. Pickwick and Mrs. Gamp
are among English and American readers. Such
types as Major Tucksen, Capt. Feind, and Feodor
Dore. the poetic Corporal, remain instinct with Ufe,
in spite of the changes the Prassian Army has gone
through since the date of their appearance. His sub-
sequent novels hardly f iilfiUod the exceptional prom-
ise of the first. Ho was a re-Tular contributor to the
German press, and in 1359 began with E-lmund
Zollor the well-known and successful Ulnstratea
weekly Veber Land und Meer. He was bom iu 181G,
and like Dr. Schliemann began life bohind the coun-
ter, not a i^ocer'a but a draper' s,-in Elbefeld.

A CHICAGO WOIIAN RELATES HER REMABK-

RELIABLE OB THE CONTRARY — THE GEN-
UINE ARTICLE DESCRIBED AXD ILLUS-
TRATED.
The Chicago Inter-Oesan prints a communica-
tion v^ich says :
"lirant every i>«rson who reads this to understand
that 111 is the pltdn, tmTHmiihed truth. Being natu-
ral, I should eosunence with children's dreams. Of
ootirse they are more foolish and harder to under-
stand ^han grown persons' on account of the irams-
tnrityiof their minds ; nevertheless, they have a deep
meantiig. My dreams were always hints, or, more
properly, significant of the future. My olde.«it sister
was aware of this, and often asked me what I dreamed,
I told her I dreamed brother came home and left his
bonei. She seemed excited, and sat down and wrote
him a letter, t^Uug hiTt^ to come home immediately,
as some great danger threatened him. He repUed to
herleHer, madel^ht of her warning, and ended bjr
saying that was some of her '* old woman's notions. '
Mark what foUowed. In about six weeks he was
brought home a cornae, beyig greatly reduced in
flesh, havlhg died of typhus lever. I will relate
another child's dream. "A little boy, 4 years old,
dreamed he went Luto a certain room, and saw a
man's head lying on the floor. Some time after a
man died in the same room after a lingering illness.
The dreams of some persons are not reliable. Per-
sons having weak minds and crooked ways coul*not
be expected to dream straight. The general unbelief
In dreams comes nudnly from this cause. When we
moved to IlUnois my husband wished to purchase a
span of horses. The result was, old nags, in various
sta^s of decay, were brotight and represented as
sound and without blenlish, In every instance I de-
tected what ailed them, and iheir peculiar traits. To
.make ft long story short, I will merely relate one
■'dream. I imagined myself sitting In the house,
when a woman entered without ceremony.
She held her head slightly back, and I noticed
wrinkles extending from her ears to her eves,
which gave her a look of great snfferiuR. I asked
her what ailed her. She said, ' I have been afflicted
with a pain in the back of my neck. They have
rubbed aU kinds of strong stuff on It. but nothing
does it any good.' She said a great deal which is not
necessary to mention. The next day about noon a
man drove up to the eate with a span of mares,
whlchhe wished to sell' for $1.50 apiece. My hus-
band examined thi&m, and could see nothing amiss,
but said he would not take them until I looked at
fhem. As I walked from the house to the gate, I
noticed one of the mares held her head back,
had her ears cropped, and also wrinkles extending
ftom her ears to her eveS. I bid the man the time of
day, and then said : 'There Is something the matter
with tlmt off mare.' As soon as I said that he gave a
sudden start, as though something had bit him. I f^t
certain I had hit the nail on the head, so I said :
• Husband, go amund and loose the collar and see if
there is not something the matter with the back of
her neck.' As soon as he touched the harness she
kicked like vengeance. At this the man seemed to
recover from his fright, end said : * Oh. don't do that !
I have been rubbins strong stuff on her neck, and she
Is afraid yon are going to rub some on.' After the
culiar WHS removed it was evident she had an incur-
able disease ; and her neck was minus a pound of
flesh."

AN EXCITIXG KIGHT ADVENTURE IN A COUN-
TRY VILUA.GE — THE UPROAR ONE MAN'S
CRIMES OCCASIONED.
From the FllenviUe (X. T.) Journal, Aug. 3.
Mr. Wilbur J. Deuman, of the Arm of Divine,
DuBol8& Co., the hero of the Morsston burglar
fights, was awakened at midnight on Thursday last
by the tramp of a horse. A moment'^Ustening con-
\inced him that the sound came from the bam
near the store where he slept, and that some
one was leading the horse out of the
bam. To jump out of bed, seize his gun —
a double-barreled shot-ijuu, each barrel loaded with
seven buckshot — and nm to the window, wivs the
work of "an instant. As he looked from the window
a horseman dashed past at full speed,
threw forward . the gun
by so doing, become a part of &e stone Std^ and
Inseparable therefrom. Consequently, the marbling
done by this process will remain permanently, and
cailnot nossibly be removed, changed, ox destroyed,
either by rain, snow, frost, or heat. The work on
buildings c«n be done at a comparatively small cost,
and the marble or granite so protlucpd will not only ap-
pear as natural, but will anpear more beautiful stllL as
being more distinct and nch in color. When stained
or spotted by rain and dnst, it can be waslied and
cleaned so to appear as new; and. Instead of fading
or being darkened by age, as is the case with ratural
marble exposed to air and rain, it improves by the
same exposure. The surface of the stone thus mar-
bled will ultimately become as hard as flint.. At the
same time it will be able to withstand a very high de-
»af heat and iire without cracking."

and blazed away, then
tin horii. which his past experi-
taught him to^ keep
seixed . . . .
ence had taught him to keep near him
for an alarm, and mn down stairs. Here
was chained a bulldog, one of the most ferocious
of his kind. Denman slipped the chain, threw open
the side door of the store, veiled. "Go for him, old
fellow." and the old fellow did go for him. The doa
evidently knew what was wanted, for he bounded
over the fence, and made straight across the fields.
in a course which would lead him to the road where
it turned,! about a quarter of a mile from the store.
Denmrih hurricl after the dog, .ind saw iu the road
100 vards distant the fi^iTe« of the man and horse.
He fired the other barrel of the gun. which he still
carried, and was hurrying on, when it oc<;nrred to
him that he was In a poor plight for & fight, with no
clothes to speak of. and an empty gun and a tin
horn as weapons. So he turned back. As he tumeil
he saw that the lumber piles behind the depot were
on fire. Benman blew his horn, and in an
Instant Mr. Preston DuBols came hurrying
from his house, and soon the inhabitants of the lit-
tle town were out in force. Two fires were discov-
ered, one in the lumber behind the freight hon-se.
another in the pile beliind the depot. The
former was soon extinguished, but the latter was too
far advanced. AU that could be done was to keep it
Irom spreading to the neighboring lumber piles and
dwellings. As it was, tho depot, eattng-hoa-^e, water
tank, and about 700.000 feet of Inmber were burned.
While the citizens were all busy fighting tire the
bulldog came trotting bat-k Into the crowd. He hnd
a welt over one eye, a cnt on hL^ forehead, and his
lieail -rffts besmeared with blood evidently not bis
own. The people ran when they saw the beast, for
lie is the terror of the nel;;hboriiood. and so one of
the clerks chained him In the store. Hiif an hour
afterward the stolen mare came slowly walking
back with broken bridle, and a ^'ound ou her
side, evidently made by tho teeth •■ the dog.
The fire was raging, an 1 no one fhoueht of
leaving then, but next momiug search was
made, and about a quarter of a mile from the store
was found a place on the road where there had evi-
dentlv been a terrific strumle. The tracks of horse.
dog, and man were mingled. Then in the slab fence
which lines the road was found a place where some
large body had crawled through, breaking the thin
edges of the planks in doing bo. On one of these
edges were found a few hairs, as of a man's beard,
gray in color, with indications that they had been
dyed. Beyond these, nothing was found. The In-
cendiary and. horse-thief had escaped but how he
managed to get away from the scivn^e bulldog, and
who he is, are mysteries not yet solved in Morsatou.
/^ARCITT OF LABOR IX LOTTISIAXA.
The New-Orieans Tiines of July 31 says :
"Recent reports from the country diwlosS the fact
that throughout both tho sogar and cotton growing
areas of Louisiana, there is great scarcity of labor,
veryfew planters haviug secured their full comple-
ment of itands. The scarcity is not so much imme-
diate as prospective, experience demonstrating that
it requires a smaller number of men to plant and
cultivate ifh&n it does to har\-est. Both the sn^ar
and cotton crops have been 'laid by,' and the sugar
planter now has little else to do besides getting out
his wood for the grinding Season, and overhauling his
machinery. In another month, however, cot-
ton will have fully_ matured, picking will
commence, and during that season every
available man and boy will be brought into
requisition. It is estimated that on nearly every
plantation a large .amount of cotton Is permitted to
rot in the field, for the Bimple re.-uson that a snfS-
cient number of hands cannot be secured to pick it.
It is estimated that on some places 33 1-3 per cent, of
the entire crop is lost in this way, particularly if the
yield be heavy. An average hand can pick during a
working day 300 pounds of seed cotton, jielding 100
rounds of Unt. which, at 10 cents a pound, would be
10. By this it will be seen that the addition of 10
hands during a month, estimating their time at 20
workin:? days, would add $2,000 to the gross
earnings of the year, and at the same time in-
volve no cost excepting their wa^es. It Is a
matter of some surprise tliat planters who
have, of coarse, suffered this loss through a series of
years, have made no effort to remedy the evil when
practical relief in the promises is wit bin the grasp of
all. For several years tho Western States have been
filled with crowds of migratory harvesters, who an-
nually take off the crops in that region, commencing
early in the season in Southern Illinois, .where th o
grain first ripens, and as the season advances, moving
northward. By this process they find constant em-
ployment throuah the entire Summer, commencing
in tlie vicinity ot Cairo in tho latter part of June, and
ending their labors far up in WLscona'm, Iowa, or
iUnnesota, some time in September. Usually the
men are energetic, industrious, and in the main
honest. It is estimated that 10,000 or 15,000 farm
laborers are engaged in this occupation everj' year ;
bat suppose that just as their season terminated
an effort were made to secure their services in tho
South. In September, at the time when they are
idle, our cotton U ready for picking. Ten thousand
of these men in our fields would contribute to the
aggregate yield 1,000.000 pounds of cotton lint a
day, or in two mouths 115.555 bales. Dnring the
succeeding two months they could find constant em-
plovment in the cane fields, and be prepared to re-
turn to their homes at Christmas after seven months
of nearly constant labor In the field. There is little
question that to one of this class no more varied.
agreeable, nor remunerative theatre of industry could
be presented. It Is certainly one which would afford
all the advantages of travel enjoyed bv the average
tourist, and effective assistance to the planter at tnis
critical time of the year would accomplish much
toward solving the labor problem, and rendering the
cultivation of the soil a certain road to wealth."

A DREADFUL CASUALTY.
SEVEN MEN PRECIPITATED INTO A HOT
FURNACE — TWO ARE BURNT TO DEATH
AND TWO OTHERS SUPPOSED TO BE
FATALLY INJURED,
Prom the Pittsburg Commercial, Aug. 4.
A dreadful accident happened at the Lucy
Furnace of Carnegie & Co., situated on the Allegheny
River, near Fiftieth-street, yesterday forenoon, which
resulted In the burning to death of two men, Julius
Haydcn and Michael Cuslck, and the injtuy of five
others, Uro of whom will probably die from
their injuries. The fire in one of the fur-
naces was allowed to go out for the ptirposo
of relihing one of the cupolas. Ten men
were detailed for this duty, and' they commenced
befprethe furnace had time to cool off. Indeed, tlie
bottom of the furnace was still re*l hot. and con-
tained a mass of clinkers, as well as broken fire bri'-ks
which had fallen from above. The men were work-
ing upon a scaffold, which had been erected noar the
top of the furnace, and were removing the old lininix.
lca\-ing a wall as they progressed downward thick
enough to stand upon. The heat that came up frmu
below was so intense that the men could not remjiin
continuously at work, having to go out at intervals
to cool off and get fresh .air. While tiie men
were at work, shortly before 1 1 o'clock, the
scaffold gave way, and seven of the ten men were
precipitated some 35 or 40 feet, upon the jagged
mass of hot dlnkers. The other three men had for-
tunately l>een standingupon the wall, and immedi-
ately gave the alarm. The only apparent way of es-
cape -ASS out through the top of the furnace. AVhile
a rope was beimc procured, to let down to tho burn-
imr and suffocating men. their cries for help could be
heard, and the most Intense excitement prevailed.
The fall, in itself, was dre.adful enoujch : but tlie
knowledge that a portion of the material itself was
almost red hot, filled the minds of all with the
fearful apprehension that the men who had fallen
would be litemlly roasted to death. The horror of
the situation was increased when tiie material o?
which the scaffold had been constructed besran to
blaze, and sent uo a blinding and stiflins smoke.
The assembled workmen, almost frantic with e.^cite-
ment, urged the manager to throw water into the
fmnace, bvt he knew that as the walls were yet hot,
water would only add to the danger, and cause the
death of any who might be alive. Some of the work-
men who were outside found that although the
place was sforching hot, it was possible to
assist tho'je Inside. They were helped out. one by
one, until five were removed. Bv this time the burn-
ing wood of the scaffold had nc.irly died out. and tho
smoke ha\ing cleared away, a better oDportunity
was had to secure the bodJeT* of the two unfortunate
men who had perished. They were soou removed,
iind presented a most shocking spectacle. The Ijndy
of Hayden was burned to a crisp in some portions,
while Cnsick's nose, and henils were burned off. Hny.
den wxs 20 years of age, and leave^ a wife iind
child. Cuslck wns 25 years of age. and unmjirried.
The names of the Injured are Patrick Cu-
sick. (brother of the one who was kil]e<l.)
James Tum^y. John Bo vie. James Hart, and
John Ward. Patrick Cu^i'jk and Jumes Turney
arc supposed to be fatally injured by tubalin? hot air.
Boyle had both legs broken, und Is in a precarious
condition, while Hart is supno.sed to have been in-
.inred by breathing hot air. Ward is not considered
in danger. The injured were removed to St. Frauds'
Hospital, where they are being cirefullv treated and
nursed. Coroner Thomas was notified nf the acci-
dent, impaneled a jury, viewed the bodies of tbe
dead, and adjourned the inquest until 9 o'clock this
morning.
A COXTEST TTITJI A MADMAX.
TERRIBLE EN'COUNTER IN A CORN-FIELD WITH
A Ll'XATIC ARMED WITH A RAZOR.
From the Adrian (Mich.) Times. Aug. 2.
William Taylor, a resident of Raisin Town-
ship, was brought to the jail in this city on the after-
noon train from Tecumseh ye.sterday. "He w.is in an
alarming state of mad frenzy, and OS^er Morritt, of
Tecumseh, had to call inconsiderable assLstnu're in
getting the madman off the train and into a hack.
Nearly all the clothes were torn from the lunatic's
back in the operation. Taylor is anEngUshman. and
has resided in Raisin, where he owns a farm contain-,
ing 200 acres, for several years. He has le.l the life '
of a miserly hermit. i)eing unmarried and living
alone. Some years ago. after hartng a fit, he was
temiKi't^rily insane, but since that time he has btK^n
ronsidered' as sane as numberless men are. The
present attack has Ijeen on him for about four d-tys.
and his friends attribute it to overwork in the heatt-d
harvest field. He has been out of his head, but
seemingly not dangerous, for three or fu-.ir u.iys.
Yesterday he went over into the corn-field of Mr.
Newton 'Br\"an, where a. young man of about 20
vears wa.": at work, and asked for a drink. It seems
be had been in the haliit of coinp there for cider, a
jiiij of winch was u-'^ually kept iu the field. The boy
told iiim there was nothijxg but water there, and that
the ju:; Wii.s at the other side Of the field. Taylor in-
sisted that tbe ymns man should go along with him
to get it. A'l'onllngly thw two str.rted. and when
about half way acro.ss tlie fit-Id Taylor grabbed bis
companion by the coat collar, and muttered : "ru
fix vou before wo get through." The young man. '
witli tiie utmost coolness, replied : " I am. not afraid ;
I have never injured you, and you won't hurt me.'"
Arriving at the fence, the liinntlc seized tlie yoang
roan by the hair, and jerking back his head, pulled
out a razor and yelled, " Draw In your breath, your
tnue has come." Just as the raani.ic was drawiut;
back the keen-edged razor for tho awf-jl strike that
must have severed his victim's head from hU body,
the youn:^ man struck him a blow in the face and
leaped over the fence, with the now IhorouglUy in-
fariated mnniac. who is very powerful even when
sane, at his heel«. In the next field a struegle en-
sued. It wiis life or death for the young laborer,
and he fousrht like a tiger, tho lunatic meantime
shisliinz richt and left with the razor, with which he
inflicted two wouni^ upon the scalp of . his victim.
Finally, the young man, by an almost superhuman
effort.' felled the inauiac to the eround. and imme-
diately jumped upon him, until lus cries for help
broucnt Mr. Bryan to the scene. Taylor was se-
cured and taken to TecumseJi. The wounds upon
the yonuij man's lie.id aro not serions.
Taylor was taken to tlie County-honse this morn-
ing He was known to have had' *1.")0 with hiiM a
few days ag'<. but when one of the neis;hbors went to
lock up his house yesterdiiy, after the srrest. an oj>eii
trunk revealed two $1 bills Iyin<: loose amoii^ the
contents. The money ciiiinot be found and whether
a robbery has been committed or the lunatic has
tlirotTU away his money no one knows.
YI.XDICATED, BUT XOT RIGHTED.
The Boston Traveller of Friday says: "A
year or two- since, in a pleasant old Massachusetts
town, a dwelling-Uouse was robbed of property ota
considerable value. On the previous day a mechan^,
had been employed upon the premises, and althouc;h
he was an industrious and steady and reputable citi-
zen, he was susiwcted of the roltbery. His residence
was searched, and nothing was fotmd there to ju^^tify
the suspicion. Bat this did not prevent him from
becoming a marked man. His old acquaintances —
respectable men. all of tbeui — be^ian to shun him.
His customers left him, and he could not set einplo;, -
ment. He had a large family of children, but lie
could earn nothing for their support. . It was
not easy to leave the place, and he did not want to
leave and thus strcnsthen the suspicion under wliieh
he rested. He asked for a trial in t!te conrt-i of htw,
but nobody would prefer chares against him. All
he could do was to suffer and wait. And his waiting
lias not been in vaiut^ Recently the real culprit has
been discovered, and the'stolen property found. The
wron£;ed man has .been vindicated at last. But if
Essex County love of justice is uotatbiu^of tho
past, the matter will not rest there. Tliero should be
a public recognition of hi.s innocence, and if it is lic-
coinpanied by a substantial token of regard, the r*:ii-
zens wiU feel the richer for it. He has shown him-
self worth v to be a citizen of tlie town: the com-
munity will show that it is unworthy of su.di a citizen
if he is not made to feel that those who have unin-
tentionally wronged him regret the injustice ho has
suffered."

A ROMAXTIC CASE OF PERTVRY.
The London Telegraph of July 20 has the
following: "A case of perjury of annnusually ro-
mantic character caiaa before the Hastings magis-
trates yesterday, the defendant being a gentleman
named lister, tho son of Lieat-CoL Lester. On
June 10 Lester went to Mr. WHuter, the Superin-
tendent Registrar of Births, T'eaths. and Marriages.
for the Hastings District, and stated tliat he wi.shed
to eive notice for a marriai;© by license at the Rest-
istrar's. In the declaration made by defeudant it
WHS asserted that/ the fatlier of the lady. Mr. Fred-
erii-k Edward Lester, a Major retired from
the Spanish service. was dead, that tho
mother was liviiie at liome, aud that it
would 1>6 imiMJssible to obtain her con-
sent. The marriage was appointed x*i take
Slace at the Rccistrar's ofiice on June ^O, and onthat
ay defendant drove up in a carriage io the l'te;^is-
trar's o^ce. ucifompanied bv his be'kxuthvd. At tuis
Juncture, however, an unejcpocted hitch arose on
Miss Lester being asked by Ifr. ^Vlnter if her father
was dead, as alleged. She stated that he was allva.
and Lester then explained that there had been a
misunderstau'ling, and made a fresh declara-
tion. He then asserted that the- father of
Miss Lester was either at St. Petersburg or
on his way tu Rome, and that his consent
to the marriage had been obtained. They were mar-
ried on June 24, and resided at Gladstone Honse,
West-bill, St. Leonard's. Miss Lester nad loft her
home at Watford on Jnne 13, osten.sibly for the pur-
pose of visiting some friends of the family in London;
promising to return the same evening. * Tho follow-
ing day, liowever, the father received a letter bear-
ing the j>ost-raark of Paris, in consequence of which
he at onceproceeded there, and on arrivii^ he learned
that his daughter was at St. Leonard's. He returned
to England, and on Jnne 23 he saw her at the latter
place, thotigh he then did not notice the defendant
there. He proceeded to Watford, but returned
to St. Leonard's on June 27. His daughter
then TeftLsed to Rive him evidence of
her marriai^. and he took her in his carriace aud re-
turned home with her, but she .<tole oat of the hou?e
in the night and got away Spain. It was not until
after that Mr. Lester obtained positive evidence of
the marriage, and then commenced proceedings for
perjnn- against the defendant. Mr. Lester, who is
the defendant's uncle, stated that he had not tho
slightest knowledge of his nephew paj-ing atten-
tion to his daughter, and indignantly denied that he
had ever eiven his consent to their marriage.
Eventually the defendant was committed to take his
trial at tUe next assizes, bail beinc accepted, himsedf
in i£500 and two sureties of £*230 each."

ANTIQUARIAN DISCOVERIES IN ZEAL.AND — A
RICHLY EM»1M*LS.^ED TOMB CONTAINING
MANY ORN.AMENTS AND OTHER ARTI-
CLES— FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS TO BE
MADE.
The Copenhagen correspondent of the Pall
MaU Gazette, WTitiQi^ on the 20Lh inst.. says: ''A
most interesting discovery of antiquarian remains has
just beeu made close to the town of Stoi-eheddinize. in
Zealand, About nine feet below the .surface of the
earth a tumulus was discovered, surrounded as usual
with 15 large stones raised on end and covered with
other large stones, which when removed disclosed the
interior of the tomb, which was about 10 feet
lone and 3 feet wide. Ou the bottom was
laid a broad piece of oaken plank, on
which were found the remains of a woman evidently
buried iu her clothes, the face turned toward the
east, the left arm crossed over the chest, and the
right arm stretched out by the side of the body. A
lar<;e number of vessels of various kinds were placed
around the head, the mo^t remarkable l>eina a cup
of blue ala«s. surrounded by a richly chased silver
rim representing tlie leaves of the vine, haviTig an
inscription in Greek characters which translated
means 'Farewell.' Next may be mentioned another
cup of red-colored glass, and a large vase of green
glass, besides many pleees/of other cups which had
been crushed by one of the stones ha^ng fallen in.
In the biu-? cap' the ribs, and in the red cup other
bones, of differeut kinds of fishes was discovered.
To the riiiht of the head lay a geld coin which
had eWdently been, used as an ear-ring, dating from
the reign of the Roman Einpefor Prohiis. whoso abort
reign lasted from abuut the year '270 t" 1282. Tiie
tomb consequently cannot date further back than
from A. D. '270. A large and !)eantlfully-embo5.-H'd
riuir of gold inclosed the neck. , ind clo.^e to the right
shoulder lay n thick golden pin, probably used to hold
the upi>er garment together. On two finirers of the
riaht hand were two massive rintrs of g»ud. the One
spinil-fonned. the other plain, while close to the waist
one large aud several smaller buckles of silver were
dLscovered. A co!le';tion of bones of various anininls
lay (do?ie to the feet of the body, as well as a woo<ien
basin ornam.enred with bronze handles, containing 42
dice turned from boiie. and apparently used for play.
In a large Roman ba,siu of bronze, which
stood at the extreme end of the tomb,
the bones of a small pig were found, other
bones of the same animal being discovered in the
surroundine earth, as well as the remains of human
beings, possibly bones of slaves who had been sac-
riticed at the funeral. The discovery is here looked
upon as beins of the very highest antiquarian im-
portance, while it adds another proof of the rela-
tions which so e.arly existed between the north aud
tlie south, which wej* mostly carried on tlirou^h the
present Russian provinces, and which finally, in tho
eiixhth or ninth century, culminated in the creation
of a special body-guard of the Emperor in Constantly
nople. consistlnff of the so-called ' Varangians ' — an
institution which lasted nearly until the final over-
tlirow of the Byzantine Empire by the Turks. The
Government Is goinff to Institute further researches
ronnd the tomb, as many signs seem to indicate that
this place in olden times has been a kind of regal
burial-place."

ALLEGED OFFER OF $'250 BY THE MANAGER
OF THE ST. LOUIS BROWNS FOR TWO
- GAMES AT LOUISVILLE.
The St, Louis Times gives the following as
the statement of De^-itmey. the umpire at Louisville,
concerning an attempt made by ilcManus. the man-
ajrer of the St. Louis Browns, to bribe him : " When
I lived in St. Louis two years ago I was employed by
tiie St. Louis management Io take the Browns
through a course of g>-mnasium practice. I am inti-
mately acquainted with most all of the Brown Stock-
ing players, and went to the Fourteenth-Street Depot
to meet them ou the 10:50 train Tuesday morning.
!McManus came to me and said : ' I want to see you
at the hotel.' andwishe<lme to ride up with him in
his hack. I declined, and walked up to the Louis-
ville Hotel, where I met him in the lobby. He asked
me to his r-'om. where he first treated me to a nice
cigar, lie'' then toid me that if I would do the
square thing for the Browns and wanted to make
anything he would give me $250. If I would throw
the two games to l>e played ^vith the Louisville^
their (the Browns) favor.'and if I would do the same
tiling in tlie two games to be phiyedby the Browns in
Louisvitlo later in the season, be would give me $!-iO0.
or SlOO for each came. He said: ' I \vill give yon
S."JO ou the grounds I'.f ter the first game, and the rest
at the hotel at night.' To accomplish all this he
stated that all strikes must be called off Blong that
were pos.iibIe : tliat Devlin should be dealt with very
strictly as regards called balls, so as to work lum ana
the rest uf the nine up so as to throw all the points
in the Browns' favor. McGearv, so McManus stated
was afraid of me, and so left him to do all the talk-
ing. Mcilanus then took out a §100 bill and showed
it to me. asking If it was not a big pile. I said, ' Yes.
about as big as I've seen for some time.' He said :
' You might as well make it, and come back to .St.
Louis well fixed ; you can come there nest year ; I'll
get you in as Lejytue Umpire, and see that you are well
taken care of.' I did not commit myself either one
wnv or tGfe other, and after some further talk he said,
' Well. I expect yon had lietter leave me now. Chap-
man may catch you here, and it would not be safe for
him to see you.'' 1 did not come to any understand-
ini: with him. As I left ho ri'niarked. ' You do as I
tell you and evcr>i,hing will bo all right. All it re-
quires is a little cliL-ek.' After coming from Mo-
Mmhus' room I met lilong iu the hotel rotunda, who
said t<i me. ' Burtis is quite a sport, and bets his
nioney on tjie Browns. He told me to tell you tliat
he liail his money up on them in the Louis\-ill6 games,
and for you to do the fair thing by St. Louis.' wliich
simply Hinouiited to my doing tho unfair thing
t'Avai*d Louisrille. I am willing to make a sworn
auidavit to anjthing I have stated. The Louis\ulle
people have treated me so kindly that I did not have
trie heart to give them away, although to a poor man
the temptation iu the sliiipe of so much money was
very great."

PUBLIC OPIXIOX AXD TRE JEWS.
The Lofvlon :Sjh;ctutvr of July '21, in siJt-aking
of the Hebrew controversy in this comitry, mentions
as a ca.'je in point the following : V The Vicar of
St. John .s, Taunton, hasfonnallyi^questedMr. Jacob
Myers, the Jewish Mayor of the borongh, to deny
the report that he is an unbaptized person. .This de-
nial, he writes, is necessary to relieve the town coun-
cillors of the "distressing imputation" that "they
have knowingly electwl as representative of the town
one who does not believe in Him whom ihev proiess
to worship.'' Mr. 31yei*s. in a very dignified, though
short K-tter, replies simply that he is proud to be a
memlK-r of the Hebrew faith, and equally proud that
his Christian fri-uds and neighbors have not per-
mitted religious difi'erences to infiuence them in their
eliuico. We suspect that the Jewish nervousness
about public oniuion. which is so observable b'.ith i:i
England and Ameriv-a, is based upon a better kuowl-
e<ige of the intolerance still lingering in society than
other men possess. Living Jews still remember the
explosion of popular anger which followed their first
admission to municipnl office."

HIS PR0NENE3S TO TALK AND DISIN'CLINATTO^
TO BACK UP HIS WORDS— SOME ILLUSIKIA-
TIVE INCIDENTS IN HIS CAREER. [
J'r07rt the Knoxville lT:nh.) Chronirle, Ang. 2.
That unmitigated old blatherskite;. Gun. RotK"
ert Toombs, introduced a resolution in the Georgia
Constitutional Convention the otuer day le^alijing
the practice of dueling. As a matter of course It w:;s
voted down by a large majority. Now. w'nat on carta
Toombs wants to legalize dueling for Is rpire ; tbrm
we can cness. We can imagine circumstances nnd-j^r
which a brave man, laboring under mtstaictri idea-,
might desire to commit a foolish a-t like that- ^ But
Toombs is a notorious coward. He ha^ a .mosf v;I- 1
lainous tomiue. and in bis .way is a brilliant talker.
Bv ilie too ireo use oi his tongue he ha* gi*I uito
trouble repeate-lly. hut whenever there was »i pp^v ^
pect for his m-oetm;? h'LS ania:i<mlst on tlie so-caU'.:<2
field of honor, he has invariably ba'-kel d'>.wn.
A distinguished Soutliem "Cohgre-isimm. now 8
member of thjtt body, related, not Ions siu'-e, how the
Southern Representatives used to be attracted to tl.o
Senate Chamber to hear Toombs' eh rqueiit diatril-es
n::Tainst tlie Abolitionists. On' one occasion when
our informant, %vith others, wai prorsenl. Toojtibs
was d -nomichig tliese Abolitionists in liia peculiar
stvle. and with an imperious wave of the hand, ex-
claimed, ■* Oh. ye h\-pocrites !'• Bluff Ben. Wade,
who was siltimc near "by and who wits well known as
a leading Abolitionist, arose' in his phire and iutcr-
mptod Toombs, by inquiring whom he meant to np-
br lid ai " hyjiorrites." The roaring GocTvia Setuitor,
ill the most patntuiring way, informed Mr. Wado
that he made un reference to him. S<mthem Con-
gressmen were disgusted at this display of cowardice,
and withdrew in decn mortification.
The reason tor Toombs' poiitenesi was, he had
previously indorsed the* brutid attx-ks of Preston
Brooks upon Senator Sumner. Wade took occasion
to denounce the iict of Brooks .is th.it <jf an a»;sas'iiiu
and all who indorsed it as fis&a.ssins. lie was waited
up<^)n by a friend of Toombs, whc asked him if lio
knew tiiat he bad insulted tliat gentleman. Wad«*
said yes. he did know it. aud ha-l so intended it. At
the same time he took occasion to inform Toombs'
friend that, while being opposed to dueling, he had
come to the conclusioiL in \-iew of the bullying atti- -
tude of .Southern Congressmen, that it was the d-atj-
of some man from.the North to fiuht a dn-?l. and that .
he had made up his mind, if chalk-nged. to at-rept.
"Toombs' friend found out. npon inquiry, tliat Wade
was a fine rifle shot, and the chalieu:;e was never
sent. Tiie "insult ' ofi'ered by the Ohio Senator
wns passed bv.
Toombs also h.id a difEcultj- once with Hon. John
BelL of this State, in which he displayed iJie wh'iie ^
f.'ather. Jo. Brown, of Geor^ria. onf-e buckt-il . him
down, and we are informed that 'tgu. lieonre Manev,
of this State, once made him -take water." While
in the command of Gen. A. P. Hi:l. during the Into
war. he is chaiged with cowardice in bat*le. in refus-
ing to make a (.marge he was directed to make.
iiut we need not multiply words. He is a cow.ird,
and, like a great many of his kind. Is willing to gTiiu
cheap notoriety, bv having it app^-ar that he fjivora
the practice ofdueling. We agree with an exchange,
that if he wants to kill lumself he ought to hava
unanimous pennission to do it.
THOSE SUXDRED THOUSAXD VXARMED |
CmZEXS. -1
Touching the suggestion of a convention of
100,000 unarmed citizens in Washington, in tho
presence of Congress, to witness the inauguration of
Mr. Tilden, the Louisville CovrUr- Journal sara :
*' The hint was dropped by one who stood sufficiently
near Mr. Tilden to ju-tlfy the suspicion that it had
not fallen without authority. It was dropped at a mo-
ment when the Democrati were clamoring for a word
and complaining that there was not so much as tho
shadow of a cue either to organization or action. Ad-
mit, for the sake of argument, that it -was im^iractl-
cnble — a mere folly : yet it proposed something in
the absence of everything IJko movenrent. The Re-
publicans caught the idea at <mce. That very night
they held legislative cauctisea at Karrisburg and
Albany and prepared for the devnpment of their
military fonres. The Bemoi-rats. able to agree upon
nothing, either peaceful or warlike, (except the final
monstros ity.) went to making sport of the • feeler
thai had come from the fouaiain-hcid. Tiio truth
is, the battle had been h^st by tiio Democrats by
their irresolution in November. Conp-ess fell this
when it met. as was shown in the case we have cited
as an iHustralion ; the part v was not prepared to a^ft
on any affirmativ^e plan. lie who proposed a distinct
and positive measure did .saat tiie peril of his repu*
tation for discernment. The Democrats would onl* .
act u^atively." ^^^^

It is announced that a considerable por-
tion of the Preaideut's Message at the open-
ing of the next session of Congress will be
devoted to the labor question. How much
rec ent ©rents have set people a-thinkiug about
the relations between railroad corporations
and their employes, as affected bythe position
of both toward the country at large, may be
inferred from the frequent discussions which
are said to have taken place in the Cabinet
t>n that subject. The appointment by
Congress of a Commission representing
labor, eonmierce, and capital, for the pur-
pose of adjusting disputes like those from
whose effects the country is still suffering,
is alluded to as a project in favor with some
of the President's advisers. About this
and the otherproposed Commission charged
with the duty of • e.xamining into the
desirability of chartering new rail-
roads, it will be time to express an
opinion when their constitution and func-
tions are clearly outlined. Meanwhile, it
is significant of the growth of a new order
sf political questions to find plans like these
■regarded as among the most important sub-
jects with which Congress will have to
•4eal.
At least one member of the Cabinet seems
disposed to grapple with the labor problem
in a very practical and sensible fashion.
Secretary Thompson has made up his mind
that the Government ■, not only can,
tut must, have its ' work done as
cheaply as that of any private ship-
■bnilder, and as a step toward that end he
ias ordered that men in the Navy-yards
shall be paid practically by the hour, and
that the men 'who choose to make a day's
work consist of ten hours instead of eight
ionrs, shall be paid accordingly. This will
probably bring down upon the Secretary the
denunciations of the labor demagogues, vfrho
.■win characterize it as an evasion of that
■beneficent enactment known as the Eight-
hour law. But as neither labot demagogues
nor eight-hour laws are in very good .odor
at present, Mr. Thompson wUl doubtless
find his course approved by everybody whose
ippioval is of much consequence.
'.a. report of an interview between a Bos-
ton gentleman and Aristakchi Bey, Turk-
ish Minister to the United States; printed
in The Times, yesterday, calls forth a cour-
teous note from that official. The Turkish
Minister, while he makes some corrections
In the report, does not disavow the essential
points thereof. , It is quite likely that he
has been misrepresented in the
matter of polities. For no intelligent
foreigner could have fallen into
Bueh a grievous error as that of classing
Sepablicons and Democrats as, respectively,
the enemies and friends of Turkey, But
the naive simplicity with which the Turkish
representative^declared that nothing but the
weakness of the Turkish Army prevented
the Russians from being out to pieces might
certainly excuse many more serious mis-
takes'than those into which M. Asistabchi
Bey has fallen. ■

dom, " will henceforth have to be accounted

WHICH IS THE MAJORITY PARTY f
Does Tammany Hall represent, as is pre-
tended, " a clear majority of the voters of
the City " f Let us take ' ' the statistics of
our recent elections," which are appealed to
in support of this proposition, and see what
it is worth. What is known as " Reformed "
Tammany started in political business in
1872, and got beaten. Its candidate for
Mayor, albeit, or probably because of being
a very respectable one, polled but; 47,133
votes out of the 134,878 cast at the election
of that year. In 1873 Democratic candi-
dates were elected for Sheriff, County Clerk,
antfJudges of the Supreme and Superior
Courts. As a matter of exact statement, we
should object to calling these Tammany
candidates, because, though it may be con-
ceded that the organization represented
tlien as now a majority of the Democratic
Party in this City, there is abundant evi-
dence to show that it has been in constant
opposition to a very considerable minority
of that party. That minority took no inde-
pendent political action in 1873 ; hence the
result of the election^.. But, even conceding
that Messrs. Conxer, Walsh, 4c., were
elected by the Tammany Hall vote, it may
be profitably remembered that the average
of this vote did not in 1873 exceed 62,000
In 1874 a part of the DemocratiC|minority
opposed to Tammany Hall took independent
action in local polities. In pursuance of a
tolerably well-understood bargain, Mr.
Wales was nominated as a " straight Repub-
lican " candidate for Mayor, and co-operatiou
with -■Vnti-Tammany Democrats wasdeclined.
The candidate ran 8,000 votes behind his
party vote for Governor. The Ger-
man Anti-Tammany Democrats nominated
Mr. Ottesdobfeb under the most I discour-
aging circumstances, but in full view of the
fact that his election was impossible, he re-
ceived 24,000 votes. The Tammany can-
didate— WiCKHAM — had a majority of but
9,000 votes over the combined vote of
his opponents, and received ; 17,000
votes less than the Democratic can-
didate for Governor. That year's ex-
perience was sufficient to prove that
the terms " Tammany " and "Deinocratic "
were by no means convertible, and that to
assume them to be so involved the} assump-
tion that the lesser includes the greater. In
1875 the essential difference between the
two terms was made still mo^e mani-
fest. All the opponents o^ Tam-
many Hall united on one ticket, and
the Kelly organization, for such it
had become, supported another. The
Anti-Tammany ticket was supposed to be
beaten in advance. '• On the authority of the
World we were assured " that every compe-
tent politician of either party in this City,
where information is accessible and by this
date in the canvass pretty well collected
and condensed, knows perfectly well
that the opposition to Tammany was
never so weak, distracted, and disorganized
as now, and that every Tammany nominee
on the County ticket is absolutely certain
to be elected." Nevertheless, the Tammany
ticket was beaten by a majority of 27,000
votes, while, at the same time, the
Democratic nominee for' Secretary of State
received in the City a majority of '29,000.
Last year there was no union made against
Tammany Hall. The national canvass
dwarfed all questions affecting local gov-
ernment, and the Tammany candidates were
swept into power on the wave that gave the
TiLDEN Electors in New- York City a ma-
jority of 04,000 votes. It is to be
observed, however, that ' the Tammany
Hall candidate for Sheriff fell 12,000 votes
short of this majority, that its candidate
for Surrogate was 31,000 votes behind
the same majority, and that one of its can-
didates for Coroner barely escaped defeat
by a majority of 2,873 votes. This last can-
didate was and is a cherished friend and ad-
viser of the person who controls the Tammany
Hall nominations, and it was in his interest
mainly that Gov. Robinson was induced to
veto a bill making some very desirable re-
forms in the law affecting Coroners, and, par-
ticularly, depriving these public servants of
the power of extracting very extravagent
incomes from the fees of their office.
If public dissatisfaction with Kelly's
friend, Mr. Richard Cboker, caused his
name to be scratched, amid the heat of a
bitter party struggle, by 20,000 Demo-
cratic voters, and induced another 21,000
Democrats to vote for his Republican op-
ponent, where is the proof that
any candidate nominated by Kelly
can ever be elected in the face of
a united opposition to the administrative
rascality and political despotism which that
person represents t' That the Tammany
ticket this FaU will be nominated, as usual,
by t£e ignorant and vulgar demagogue who
espoused the cause of Calvin and
Croeeb last year, will not probably be dis-
puted. That it is a ticket which can be
beaten by anything like honest and hearty
union on the part of tho opponents of
Tammany Hall is equally certain. There
never has been such a union without tho
fact being demonstrated that Tammany
Hall represents the minotitr of the voten

of the City, and, pace the World, we venture
to assert that there never will be.
THE GOVEBNMEJffT A2n> TEE PACIFIC
RAILWAYS.
The letter of Mr. Sidney Dillon, Presi-
dent of the Union Pacific BaDway, to the
Secretary of the Treasury, proposing a set-
tlement with the (Jovemment for its pro-
spective claims against the company, offers
to pay into the Treasury $250,000 each
half year for ten years, $375,000 each half
year for the succeeding ten years, and
$500,000 each haU year thereafter, in-
terest to be compounded half yearly at 6
per cent, until the sum so accruing shall
be equal to the Government mortgage on
the road, reckoned Tith simple interest to
the same date. There is a disputed claim
for about $800,000 between the Govern-
ment and the company, being for one-half
of the transportation service rendered by
the company to the Government, which the
Secretary of the Treasury retains as a set-off
to the 5 per cent, of net earnings which
the original charter of the company
requires to be paid into the Treasury as a
sinking fund — the company having refused
to pay the same on various pretexts. When
the claim of the company for this moiety of
transportation earnings was in litigation, a
stipulation was filed in court by the parties
that the money should at all events be re-
tained by the Government until judicial de-
termination should be reached respecting
the 5 per cent, of net earnings. Mr. Dillon
proposes that this $300,000 shall likewise
draw compound interest at 6 per cent, for
the benefit of the company, but since it is
coupled T\"ith the undetermined 5 per cent,
claim, it may be left out of the considera-
tion at present.
It will be noticed that the essence of this
proposed settlement is that when the Gov-
ernment's claim on account of the subsidy
matures, about the year 1897, Mr. Dixxon
proposes to borrow the money from the Gov-
ernment a second time on the same terms
as the original loan, but at a lower rate of in-
terest. Payments of $250,000, half-year-
ly, with confcouud interest at C per cent.,
will amouW in ten years to $6,717,568.
This sum, with semi-annual increments of
$375,000, with interest compoimded in
like manner, will amount in the next ten
years to $22, "209, 065, at which time tho
whole indebtedneus falls due. The present
indebtedness of the company to the Gov-
ernment being $37,602,176, and the an-
nual interest on the subsidy bonds be-
ing $1,634,190, the whole indebted-
ness, when it falls due, under the
plan, wiU be $70,285,970, minus $22,-
209,065— «. e., $48,076,911. This is the
sum which President Dillom gravely pro-
poses to borrow from the Government, at a
fixed interest charge of $1,634,190 — in-
terest and principal to be repaid whenever
the rules of compound interest running in
his favor, at 6 per cent., shall overtake
simple interest running in favor of the Gov-
ernment, at 3 4-10 per cept. There' are
probably other companies and individuals
who would like to borrow from the Govern-
ment on the same terms.
There can bo no objection to the establish-
ment of a sinking fund at compound inter-
est for the payment of the indebtedness of
the Pacific Railways to the Government.
There can bo no objection to allowing 6 per
cent, compound interest so long as the Gov-
ernment has the means, as it now has, to in-
vest the proceeds of the sinking fund at that
rate, by calling in and canceling its own 6
per cent, bonds. > But any plan which con-
templates renewing the loan to those
companies on the original basis, or
renewing it at all, is inadmissible
upon any survey of existing facts,
and cannot possibly pass Congress after the
people learn tho real nature of the transac-
tion. The fact that the Union Pacific Com-
pany is perfectly able to meet all its obliga-
tions, and that its projectors reaped a prince-
ly reward for their enterorise through the
sluiceways of the Credit Mobilier, deprives
them of any claim for a new loan on the
score of hardship. The hardship was all on
the side of the Government, which stands
out of the use of its money for thirty years.
Probably no such scheme as. the fore-
going would ev4r have engaged the serious
attention of Congress imless tliere were
some real or fancied danger that the Gov-
ernment would lose more by rejecting than
by complying with it. Hence the idea has
been thrown out that the Union Pacific Com-
pany might become the owners of their own
first mortgage bonds, and, by defaulting on
the I interest, foreclose said mortgage and
cut out the Government's claim. This fal-
lacy seems to have beguiled so good a lawyer
as Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, who was cer-
tainly no friend of the Dillou scheme of
funding. The obstacles furnished by law
and] equity to this sort of sharp practice are
numerous, and not tho least is that section
of the Criminal Code which punishes con-
spiracies to defraud the United States by
imprisonment in the Penitentiary.
The real question to be considered is,
whether the company or the Government is
in the better position to stand upon the law
as it is, and bide its time. Not that any
reasonable overture is to be rejected, not
that the door to negotiation is to be closed,
but, that all plans which look to extending
the iexisting loans beyond their legal matiu'i-
ty on the same or worse terras than they
now bear, txre prima facie fraudulent and in-
tolerable. In poiiit of fact, the Govern-
ment is in better position to stand upon the
law as it now is than any of the solvent
companiesare. As to the insolvent ones, there
is no question raised concerning them, for
if tley cannot pay their first mortgage in-
terest, they have nothing to offer the
Government by way of settlement of
the second mortgage. The law provides
that one-half of the transpoitation and mail
service rendered by the companies shall be
retained in the Treasury, and that " at least
5 per cent." of the net earnings of the com-
panies shall be paid into the Treasury. The
latter requirement has never been complied
with, and there is now due to the Govern-
ment thereunder, about two million dollars
from the Union Pacific alone. If it becomes
necessary for Congress to exert some pres-
sure upon these corporations, the phrase-
ology employed in this 5\per cent, clause,
coupled with tho reserved \right to alter,
amend, or repeal, would seem to warrant
the passage of a new !aw enlarging the per-
centage of net earnings to be paiu\into the
Treasury. \
There is a farther provision of lavrthat
wh'akifever the eamin£s oi the compazu^
shall exceed 10 per cent, upon the actual
cost of the roads, Congress may reduce the
rates of fare. Considerable testimony has
been taken incidentally by investigating
committees showing that the cost of the
roads was very much less than it appears to
be on the balance-sheets. Hon. Jesse
L. Williams, a well-known engineer,
and Government Director of the Union
Pacific, estimated the total cost of this
road at $38,824,821. This estimate was
made about seven months before its comple-
tion to the point of junction with the Cen-
tral Pacific. The report of the company to
the Secretary of the Interior represents the
cost to have been $112,596,252, while the
Treasurer of the Credit Mobilier testified
that it was $71,208,399. There can he no
doubt that the two principal companies are
now earning much more than 10 per cent,
on the cost of their roads. The charges for
freight and passenger travel are simply ex-
tortionate, amounting in many cases to nine
or ten cents per mile for the latter, and to
a higher sum for the former than the
cost of teaming. If there were no other
way for the present generation to recover
some part of the money they have invested
in these roads, this mode certainly is open,
for Judge Hunt, inhisdecision of theCredit
Mobilier suit, said : " I doubt not that for
the purpose of fixing the rates of fare upon
the road, according to the power reserved
in section IS [of the charter]. Congress may
direct an examination into the cost of build-
ing and running the road, and in an action,
with appropriate allegations, may cite the
company to a discovery upon that subject
and for that purpose."
There are other valuable provisions of
law in favor of the Government, which have
never been put in force, for which' Presi-
dent Dillon proposes to substitute his so-
called settlement : for " the aforesaid pay-
ments," he says, " are to be in full settle-
ment of all claims and demands by or on
behalf of the Government against said com-
pany." It is needless to comment on this
sweeping provLso. It will be unwholesome
for any Congress, or any political party, to
let go the just claim of tho Government
upon the Pacific Railway Companies for
moneys advanced, or to compromise the
rights of the people therein, or to negotiate
with them for extending the time of pay-
ment beyond the maturity of the debt on
the basis above described.
WHO PA Y TAXES t
A San Francisco paper, commenting on
tho late disturbances in that city, complains
that thesinfamous fellows who destroyed
Chinese houses and wrecked property are
not tax-payers. The hoodlum is a non-
producer. His name is not found on the
Assessor's books, and he has no interest in
the Irise and fall of real estate, or in the
price of building materials. Therefore,
when he joins in the work of destruc-
tion which costs landlords and les-
sees a pretty penny to repair, he
does it with an impunity which
is exasperating to the tax-paying and order-
ly citizen. Tiiis view of the case is often
taken by those who survey a field of dam-
ages like that of Pittsburg or Martinsburg.
But it is a superficial view. It may seem
exasperating that hoodlums and ruffians,
worthless and irresponsible, should be able
to destroy property and increase the bur-
dens of tax-payers, and yet escape scot-free.
Not oidy do they elude the punishment due
their crimes, but they also get away from
the grievous weight of taication which their
lawlessness makes necessary. But do they
thus escape T
Suppose ten thousand men who never pay
taxes, but who live " from hand to mouth,"
occupants of tenement-houses and con-
sumers of coarse food, set fire to railroad
property, Chinese houses, and steam-ship
docks. The value of tho property which
they destroy is two or tlu-ee millions of dol-
lars! Under the laws of the land, this
amount is charged to the city or county in
which the property was situated. It is paid,
just as any other obligation is paid, by levy-
ing a tax. Every man who owns a foot of
land or a piece of improved property in
that city or county is compelled to
pay his share. Confiscation or pay-
meiit is the alternative offered him. The
tax on real estate in Pittsburg and San
Francisco will be higher next year than it
was this year by the amount paid as indem-
nity t'o those who have lost by the ravages
of the mob. Consequently, rents will be
higher, and prices of various commodities
will be advanced in exact proportion. Even
the whisky-seller, who deals out " wet
damnation " to the men who organize riots,
must pay a higher rent if he is a tenant, or
higher taxes if he is an owner ; and he makes
up the difference by exacting an indirect
tax on his customers who are the riotous
' bread- winneijs."
Mr. JusTi;s Schwab, for example, sells beer
at five cents a glass, and preaches the incen-
(iiary doctrines which result in the destruc-
tionof property. The City pays the bills, and
Schwab, whose property is beer, is taxed
accordingly. He collects his siiare of the
tax from his thirsty customers, who pay a
higher price, or get less-^beer than before,
^hil^ they sit and swig and berate the tyr-
anny of property. The cunning Schwab
may ' encourage wreck and ruin ; but
he

caills, when
hi in, to
on his
the consequences
shift part of
loquacious and
revoliitionary customer. So, in innumerable
ways^ the destroyer is compelled to pay for
the loss which his destructiveness has caused.
It is npt necessary that the mischief-maker
should be a tax-payer as that phrase is com-
monly understood. If he does not hire a
house, or a tenement, or even a hovel, in
which to lay his head, he at least buys a
covering tor his back, and victual and drink
to sustain nature ; and when he buys these,
poor ^hough they may be, he is paying his
share of the additional taxation which his
violence and lawlessness have caused. He
cannot escape it, and though men who own
costly buildings pay more than he, he is
mulcted in his share.
It is an old saying that nothing is certain
but death and taxes. Death cannot be es-
caped by any possibility of human ingenuity.
Sooner or later, it overtakes each individual
of the race. To escape taxation requires a
persisten'ce and a course of privation to
which few men can submit themselves. A
man who makes a hermit of himself, lives
in a cave of the earth, wears skins or cast-
off garments, . and subsists on wild fruits
and roots, or on stolen food, may be said to
have eluded the buxdeos of tasatigiir\Ihe
m
same cannot be tme of any other htmuuibeing
in a civilized commonity. He may escape
the visit of the tax-gatherer as completely
as though he were a castaway on Selkirk's
lonely island. But he is lost when he buys
a scrap of meat, a crust of bread, or a gar-
ment to cover his nakedness. Unless he is
a wild savage, he is a consumer ; and as soon
as he is a oonsumar, a purchaser, he is a
tax-payer. The New- York rioter of 1863
probably chuckled over the reflection that
the Astors, Stewarts, and Vanderbilts were
obliged to pay for his fantastic iqadness.
But there is no squalid tenement-house in
the Sixth Ward or Maokerelville to-day that
is not paying its quota of the millions which
the City of New-York pays for the damage
done in 1863. The rioter, if he lives, cer-
taiidy pays his share.
It is in this way, especially in a social sys-
tem like ours, that the interests of all men
are boimd up together. A blow at a great
interest, like that of railroads, for example,
is first felt by that particular species of
property. Its effects are long and oppres-
sively endured by the men who are respon-
sible for the original disaster. It is impos-
sible that men shall raise violent hands
against the rights of property without them-
selves suffering, in some way, the conse-
quences of their acts. We customarily speak
of "tax-payers" as a distinct class —
those whose names are on the books
of the Assessor and Collector. But, in an-
other and broader sense, all consumers are
tax-payers. He who drinks wine, or whisky,
pays a tax which the water-drinker does
not pay. The laborer in Philadelphia who
removed a five-cent cigar from his mouth to
say that he could not live on wages paid to
men of his class pays a tax from which the
non-smoking millionaire is exempt. It
would be a good thing if men would see and
appreciate properly the distribution of taxa-
tion. That we are bringing up a class of
persons who think that because they are
not " tax-payers" in the narrow sense, they
have no share in the burdens of society, is
a real calamity.
THE MAINE BEAR CROP.
Last year the State of Maine paid $2,725
for bears. As five dollars was paid for each
bear, almost any one who has a moderate
command of slate can ascertain that 549
bears were paid for. Whether the State re-
quired any more bears, or whether the sup-
ply fell short, we are not informed, but it is
probable that if enough additional bears to
make up the number to a round six hundred
had been offered they would have been ac-
cepted.
There exists, even among very intelligent
men, an extraordinary misconception of the
object of the so-called Bounty law, under
which the State of Maine pays five dollars
for every bear, or rather for the scalp of
every bear, which is brought to the chief of
the bear bureau. It is actually believed
by these mi^uided persons that the aim of
the law is to extirpate bears. It is only
necessary, however, to study the effect of
the statute in order to fully comprehend its
true object. It is designed to protect and
foster bear-culture, and its influence in this
direction is far more efficient than
that of any game law couched in the usual
manner could possibly be. Why Maine
takes so warm an interest in her local bears
is a matter of conjecture. Whatever may
be the reason, however, it is very certain
that so long as the Bounty law is enforced
the production of bears will be one of the
leading industries of the State.
Had the Maine statesmen, in order to pre-
serve bears from rapid destruction, passed
a law forbidding the slaughter of the ani-
mals except at certain specified seasons,
we all know what the result would have
been. The law would have had no terrors
for the Indians and hunters of the wilder-
ness, while the urban sportsman who, in-
stigated by Rev. Mr. Murray and other
professors of sylvan mysteries, visits
the Maine woods in Simimer, would
have shot at bears and disturbed
their ner\-ous systems all the more
gladly if to poor shooting were added
the zest of a safe violation of law. Th us
the bears would gradually have been shot
and annoyed Out of existence, and in a few
years would have become as scarce as the
moose and caribou that once roamed the
Adirondack woods.
Determined to protect their bears, the as-
tute Maine law-makers devised a plan of at-
taining their object by means of a bounty
law, which, while ostensibly offering a
reward for the extermination of bears,
would actually stimulate their production.
A law was therefore passed which offered a
reward for the scalp of every bear killed
within the limits of the State. Mark the re-
sult. The Maine farmer soonperceived that
to raise bears for the Government market
would be far more profitable than to raise
any other crop, whether of a vegetable or
porcine nature. The man who raises com
or pigs makes a fair profit when he sells
them ; but he cannot be sure of a purchaser,
and when he«does find one he must neces-
sarily part with his crops before he receives
his money. On the other hand, the bear cul-
tivator is alwaj-s certain that the State will
pay five dollars for fevery bear scalp, and that,
in addition, he will retain possession of the
skin and flesh of the animal. Thus there is
a much larger percentage of profit in boar-
raising than there is in any other branch of
agriculture or of stock-breeding. Moreover,
the bearM^ a safe and easy crop. A single
pail- of bea>s will average three cubs yearly,
and are neveiy molested by the potato-bug,
blasted by prolonged drought, or mildewed
by dampness. It is not strange that as
soon as the true purport of the Bounty law
was grasped by the Maine farmer, he ear-
nestly set about the cultivation of bears.
Owing to that innate delicacy which renders
the New-England farmer so proverbially
shy and modest, he built his bear-pens in
secluded places and kept his own counsel as
to the business until he was ready to carry
his bears to market. While nearly
every really enterprising farmer is
now generally understood to raise at least
one annual bear, it is alleged that in remote
counties men having the command of capi-
tal have established large bear nurseries,
which turn out a score or two of bears every
year. Thus, although in New- York, Ver-
mont, and New-Hampshire the bear has be-
come exceedingly rare, the bear industry of
Maine is iuamostfloiurishingcondition. Last
year, as has already been said, the bear crop
reached 549 scalp^. This year it is confi-
dently predicted that fully 800 bears wiU
be broucht to market, and if the Bounty law
is oontinaed in force for ten years longer,
Maine will become as celebriated for her
bears as Pennsylvania is for coal or Ohio for
pork.
^>ort8men who are interested . in the
preservation of game should take a lesson
from the example of Maine, and instead of
clamoring for laws to prevent the shooting
of deer or ducks out of -season, should ask
for the passage of a bounty law which would
stimulate th* production of those aninmls.
Especially snould the friends of the noble
red man, who desire to preserve him from
extinction, lay to heart the lesson of the
Maine bears. If the Federal Government
were to offer five dollars reward for every In-
dian scalp, is it not in the highest degree
probable that the people of the West would
absmdon the cultivation of the delicate and
uncertain pig, and give their whole minds
to the preservation and cultivation of In-
dians t The Bounty law, whether applied
to bears or Indians, is a form of protection,
and its success in .stimulating the produc-
tion of American bears in Maine, and in
protecting them from the competition of the
pauper bears of Europe, ought to convince
every one who is not bought with British
gold that it is a wise, beneficent, and al-
together admirable measure.
THE TURKISH MINISTER EXPLAINS.
Lkoation Imperiale de Tcrqcie, }
New- York, Aug. 5, 1877. J
3to tht Editor of tAe JVrte- York Time» : ^
I read in to-day's edition of your paper
the account of a conversation I had with a gen-
tlemen, and which was published by the Boston
Advertiser of the 4th inst. I wish first to thank
this kind and Intelligent gentleman for bia
courtesy and flattering views on my person. In
accomplishing this pleas:int duty, I wish also
to rectify some of the points which might lead
to misunderstanding. For instance, this gen-
tleman understood that, in my opinion, *• the
Republicans seem to side with Russia, and the
Democrats with Turkey." This statement
might bring forth the supposition that the
United States are divided into two sia«3 on the
subject of the actual conflict, according to their
political party divisions. However, I am con-
vinced that many Democrats sympathize with
Russia, and, if I were not bound by professional
reserve, I could give names of Republicans,
prominent either In poUtics, in military circles,
or In society, who have given us, before as well
as since the breaking out of hostilities unequivo-
cal proofs of their high impartiality, and even
of their good will toward my country. Turkey
bas always kept the best relations with all the
Administrations, (Republican or Democratic.)
which have In succession ruled the Cnittjd
States, and we would be ungrateful if we did
not acknowledge the good feeling'of all those,
either Democrats or RepubUcans, who sympa-
thize with us in the present struggle.
In regard to the \-iolence alluded to by the
aforesaid gentleman. 1 have never hesitated to
acknowledge and to deplore that sad acts of re-
taliation were committed last year in Roume-
lia by an exasperated population. But duriug
the present war the correspondents of 17 news-
papers of both hemispheres signed at Shumla
a declaration stating the cruelties committed by
the invadeni upon old men, women, and chil-
dren.
The statement concerning Col. Valentine
Baker and Sir. Heurj- Ward Beecher must be
corrected in the following way : I was asked
tile, other day by au.\merican gentleman if I did
notconsiderthatthe appointment of so notorious
a person as Col. Baker was a mistake. I told
him that 1 did not think it was any iiiore incon-
venient for Turkey to accept Col. Bakers ser-
vices than it is for Russia to be the object of
the moral support that Rev. Henry AVard
Beecher publicly offers to that country 'from the
pulpit.
As I fear I am using too freely the hospitality
of your important paper. I must limit here my
communication, and I beg you to accept my an-
ticipated thanks, as well as the assurance of my'
most distinguished consideration.

SCRAKTON. Pfnn., Sunday. Aug. 5. 1877.
Of course, the employers of the miners
and mill men have their side o^ the dispute be-
tween labor and capital, and the subject is not
likely to be fully understood If both sides are
not allowed to state their i>ositions. The strike
here is not a simple matter. It is as complex as
it could well be. and, so far as I can ascertain, it
began with those who had least cause for com-
plaint. The railroad strike on the Pennsylvania
Road precipitated the general movement. The
Tue.sday after the firing on the mob at Pitt*
burg round-house, which occnrred on July 21,
the mill men of the Lackawanna Iron and CoaJ
Company came out with a dt- mand for an ad-
vance of 1^5 per cent, on their wages. Not only
did th*y quit work, but without delay compelled
all the men in the city who were at work in the
large shops to break off with them. wheth«
they had grievances or not. The Ijackawanns
Iron and Coal Companyemploy about 2,000 men,
and their numbers were large enough to terrify
the few men who would have chosen to resist.
The company have been running their blo^-t
furnaces without interruption, and their rail
mills were busy. Rails have fallen in price
from $02 to $45 within a short time, yet theii
men had not been reduced until rerenlly. and
the effect of the reduction had not been asce^
tained. and the strike therefore anticipated it.
The men who struck on Tuesday. July 21. had
been doing much better than the Delaware,
Lackawanna and "Western miner*!, as will be seen
from tlie figures wMch are given below. But
there must have been some bad men among
them. They set fire to the shops of the com-'
pany, but the flames were fortunately extin-
guislied before much damage was done. They
beat old men and young men. and Father Dunn,
the Catholic priest who saved Mayoi
McKune's life. was barely able to keen
the mob from trampliiig tiie Mayoi
beneath their feet. Generally, the mer
of the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company hare
been well emoloyed. In looking over the books
of the company, which were kindlj* opeUf^d for
my inspection, I found that the average amounts
per month credited to miners was about $45 ;
to heaters in the iron tnills. $tjO to $65 ; to
heaters in the steel- works, $50 to $65. while
commozfe laborers were earning from $25 to
$30 a month. The Lackawanna Iron and Coa)
Company has a different system of paying its
men than that in vogue with the Dt;law.ire,
Lackawanna and Western. In the latter a
miner is paid all' he earns, and he then gays bis
helper one-third of the earnings. In the Coid
and Iron Company a man is credited with the
number of cars of coal mined, at &St2 cents or
75 cents a car — the last price the one of March
15, when the reduction took place. In, looking
over the lists of payments to several miners
who were picked out at random, I found that
they had made all sorts of wages, ilepending
upon the ^l^i^l of the man, varying from $37 up
to $70 per month. Exceptional coses were
found where men had earned as much af
$100 in a month, besides his help hire,
and in the dull month of June ihis man
made $53. Men who were employ^ed to do
day work in the mines earned iroui $1S to $iJ??
and $32. the average being about $25. On the
blast furnace helpers earned about $2S. fire-
men about $34, and common laborers from
$30 to $40. The men in the iron-mill who wer«
making about $50 a month were the ffrst tc ^
ask for the advance of 25 per cent. The pud
dlers. paid about $1 75. a day, were getting'
about $30 a month on an average. The heaters
of steel rails, men who are skilled laborers, did
very well. One man. whcm I selected at random
from a page of the ledger, -was credited with $97
in March. $101 in April. $77 in Mcy, and $03
in June. Helpers to the last named class were ave-
raging about $50 a month. Boys were employed
in various capacities as slate pickers and in the
foundries- These ticures show what the mtn
have been earuing as represented by the com- \
pany's books, during several dull months when
the business wa.s not good enough 13 werrairt
pushing the foundries and blast furnaces to their
fullest capacitj-, but wliile there was
too much doing to permit the blasts
to chill or the rolUug-miUs to st'>p.
The figures show the net earnings of the
miners, who earned enough in addition to pay
the helpers, or men who load the coal oa ears
after it is hlasted out. Most of the men em-
ployed by the company purchase their family
supplies at the company's store. This is in a
large buildiu* containing four shops, in which
may be found nearly everything which could be
ueeded in a house — groceries, dry goods, hard-
ware, crockery, boots and shoes, and tin-ware,
and the company officers say that the goods \
are of excellent quality, that they are pur-
chased at low rates, and can be sold
and are sold to the tniners at the lowest- market
prices. Mr. W. W. Scranton is the manager of
the store, and he very readily afforded me al
the opportunity I desired to inspect the books. .
He denied the charge that ho had ever asserted
that he would ** have miners at work yet fur 35
cents a day." and said that he had never e.X-
pressed himself in such a manner. He said,
moreover, that none ii>f his e;iiployes were com-
pelled to buy at ^he company's store, it
they thought they could du bettor else-
where, they were' always at liberty to
purchase where they chose.* He knew that thto
majority of tlie men were well distwsed tuward
the company, and ready to resume work, but by
the mischievous talk of half a dozen young and
ready leaders they had been roused up to de-
mand an advance of 25 per cent., to comply
with which was out of the question, and would
never be done. ?VIr. Ser:in;on showed me lh»
pay-roll sheets for several months, and from
them 1 ascertained that the compauy in March
employed 2, 24 !> men and boys, to whom they paid
$74,000. an average of $33 per head, in
April they paid 2.21s men $01,000, or an av-
erage of :^2>* per man and boy. In May there
werv l!.l-io i^ersuns who earned $tiS.2O0, or au
avenige of $30, and in June 1!.13U inen earned
$03,1>00, or an average of about $30 each. It
must be remembered that the tuine gangs, uum;
berlng about 000 each, include aboui -00 boys,
working at wages varying from $1 to $10
a month. The Lackawanna Coal and iron Com-
pany have neverr*il|sr*Scrant<m said, feared
anystrike by tbeir miners, as they have a coil-
tract with ttieir men by wliich they are bound
to keep at work when other men strike, with ,
the understanding that any advance in priqes by
other companies will always be equaled by the
Lackawanna Coal and Iron Company. The
books show that the men have l^lances due
them in a larg^ number of cases, while a few
men are in the company's debt. Mr. S«:rautoii,
the manager, is a vigorous, fearless man, of
perhaps 35 or 40, who is known in
Scranton as the man who boldly
confronted the strikers in lb73, • whet
they attempted to interfere with substitutes
whom he had obtained to break the long strike,
and whom he effectually dispersed after two
men had been shot dead. ' He was in the posse
who shot into the mob on I^ackawanua-avenoe
last Wednesday, and although he has been se-
verely rated by a few iujudici_»/us persons, the
act is commended by propertv-owners and
good citizens as one which saved life and prop^
erty, and prevented much violeence and avertec
shame from Scraut^iU.

in length. It sunk shafts at great expenae, at a

■B the coal tfaAt could be brought out gf
them. The miners flocked to the region,
ud dnring the war, when nearly all the* men
vmplored "were foreigners, they constantly
bion^ht ont friends and relatives, until the
■capcity of labor that had for a time existed
cemaeu, and when the panic came, in 1873, it
'Was suddenly found that the supply of coal
would have to be limited, and there soon came
complaints of lack of employment. Retrench-
ment bocame necessary, and the company was
compelled to adont a plan of working part of
its mines and regulating the supply of eoal some-
what by the demand. A system was at length
arranged of working the mines alternately, with
a view of at once keeping the mines in
otder, free from gas and water, and of
famishing all the miners with an equal amount
of the work that was to be done. The com-
pany's prices of 1871 were not changed at the
time of the 1873 panic They remained high
untilJanuary, 18/5, when there was a general
reduction of 10 per cent. In September, 1876,
^ere was another reduction of 10 percent.,
which the officers say was only made because it
was absolutely necessary. In March last a third
reduction — this time of 15 per cent. — was or-
dered, and the whole range of men were then
paid 35 per cent less than they had received
four years previous. The books' or pay-rolls of
the company show that the average of wages
paid to the miners during last month was about
$18 or $19. The company does not now, nor
has it ever owned, a store, preferring to pay the
men in cash, and let them get along with their
xaoney as they shall themselves determine. The
effectof the reductions on the various grades of
workmen can be ascertained by reference to a
table of rates published two days ago in
The Times. That rate was "fixed be-
cause the company felt that it could
not continue to pay the prices that had
been paid before. The company is not better
prepared to make an advance than it was a year
ago, and it is put of the question to suppose for
a moment that the order of reduction can be re-
Bcinded. If it had been possible to abandon
several of the mines at once, they would have
been closed long ago. But the mines are so
constructed that if the pumps were stopped
which are used to keep one clear of water, not
only would that one fill up. but several others
communicating with it would be flooded. Dur-
ing dull times the pumps must be worked, al-
though they are a constant expense, and the
tases are always accumulating on the land.
The pireetors say they are not insensible to
■the difficulties which the men have had to en-
counter, but say also that they have done the
best they could to keep all the men employed
for a part of the time, preferring to distribute
the work to giving it out to a few to the ex-
clusion of the rest.

In an address before the North Carolina Uni-
versity Xormal School, on the 2d inst., Hon. A. S.
Merrimori spoke very freely upon the subj^t of pub-
lic evils in the State and the remedies for them.
The correspondent of the Raleigh (X. C.) Seics thus
raportshim: " The circumstances of the State re-
quire words of plainness and thoiight. "Wfe ought to
understand our position in the State, and to inquire
into our evils to find the causes and apply the reme-
dies for them. The State and people are as a sick
man. Paljlic evils are too rampant, and have gone
to the v^ry vitals of our State. It is our
dnty to inquire into these evils and to eradicate
them if -possible, or check them as best we can.
VThen North Carolina entered the Union it was the
third State, and had a population of about 400.000.
Its people were above meCliocrity. and were not to be
BurpasRed — in fact, excelled ' all other States in
patriotism. She has always had great and smart
men. who have brought honor on the State at home
and abroad. Her area is about 50.00i.> square miles.

physical developments of life. We have great marl
deposits, rich in the best fertilizer in the world : un-
lixuited mineral resources of gold, iron, copper, sil-
ver. &c.: btiildlng stones of granite and marble:
fine rivers and a sea-coast of 300 miles in extent,
consisting of bays, sounds, estuaries, and a harbor
not surpassed by any except New- York City. In our
extensive lumber forest we have GO varieties. Our
water power is able to turn the entire machinery of

thus we go on forever. We have only 40 cotton

FEDERAL OFFICERS AND POLITICS.
POSITIONS OP THE VARIOUS STATE ASSOCtA-
TIOXS AT THE CAPITAL — DISBANDMEKT
OP SOME — CHANGES IN THE CONSTITU-
TIONS OP OTHERS TO CONFORM TO THE
PRESIDENT'S ORDER.
Speeial Dixpateh to the NeuyTork Times,
Washington, Aug-. 5. — Since the pulijli-
cation of tb<» Presidenfs order forbidding
Federal office-holders from taking an active
part in election matters, considerable interest
has been manifested to ascertain what action
the varions State associations, which exist
here would take with reference to the mat-
ter. These associations are composed entirely
of Federal office-holders, and are organized to
assist the Republican Party in their respectiTe
State's. During political caiupaig:n5 they per-
form efficient service in sending outjdocumehts
and defraying the expenses of voters from
Washington to their homes. The interpreta-
tion given by the President to his or-
der will prevent such work in the fu-
ture, and in consequence some of the
Associations in whose States no election will be
heldneit Fall have formally disbanded. The
MicMgaii Association have concluded to main-
tain their organization, but have eliminated
politico from their constitution, and now declare
that ■• the object of the association shall be'
the advancement of the sociid interests of
its members • and residents of Slichigan
who may be temporarily sojourning in
■U'aAington." A State election -n-ill be held In
Michi^n next Fall, and it will be strange if
members of the ii.'Jsociation, many of whom are
active and experienced politicians, will refrain
from performing service, individually and col-
lectivelv. to insure a Republican triumph in
that State. Their action in altering
their constitution, so far as the or-
ganization is concerned, technically places
them outside of the President's order. The
New-York Association, at their meeting last
night to consider this question, chose a com-
mittee of five to submit to the nest meeting
aniendments to their constitution, so as to place
the association ou a footing consistent with the
President's order relating to Federal office-
holders. This looks as though the members of
the association would maiutaiu their organiza-
tion on the plan adopted by the Jlichigan Asso-
ciation, and it is probable the othors will follow
the same course.

TBE FAMINE IN INDIA.
PROSPECT IMPROVED, BUT STILL GLOOMY
— SEVERE DISTRESS FOR SOME MONTHS
LONGER FEARED.
London, Aug. 6. — The Ttmesf Calcutta
correspondent summarizes the latest intelli-
gence of the sittiation in the fatnine-
stricken districts from official reports as
follows : " The prospects for the harvea*
are somewhat improved, but on the whole
gloomy, as rain is generally insufficient. Very
severe distress will probably continue for some
months longer. It must not be supposed that
famine is imminent elsewhere than in
Madras. Still, in view of the condition of
|Southem India, the general deficiency in the
rain fall cahses grave anxiety.
An appeal to the British public, is-
sued by [a public meeting in Madras

Washington, Aug. 5. — Johu R. Cochran,
Chairman of the Democratic Investigating Com-
mittee of the South Carolina Le^slature, which
is now engasred in the work of persecuting
prominent I?epuhlican3 of that State, was a no- .
tprious lobbyist during the administration of
Gov. Scott, who has often been heard to declare
that, had i: not been for the evil influencea of
Cochran and others associated with him, he
[Gov. Scoil] would have been able, t^ defeat
much of the jobbery practiced by the Legisla-
ture duriug las admiuistration. Cochran not
only championed all the big jobs which were
curried through tin.- Leirisluture at that time,
but was the medium employed for imposing
worthless tracts of land owued by Democrats
upon the notorious La:ul Commission which
was created by the Legi-^lature to purchase
lands for sale in suiall farms among poor peo-
ple. The fact that this man Cochran is now
employed by the Democrats to persecute Repub-
licans* shows to what depths the Democrats; of
South Carolina have descended.

ITRIAL OP MME. GRAS — HER VICTIM'S TESTI-
TmONJr— THE CONSPIRACACr— HOW THE
FEMAtiE FIEND CAME TO BE ARRESTED.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
itelegrapbs on July 2-i. as follows : " The hearing of
the \'itriol-tl trowing case was continued to-day, when
the victim of the outrage, M. Rene De La Roche, was
I examined. Aiter stating that his relations with the
Ifemale prisoner Gras conunenced In January, 1875,
iandthathe resided sometimes in Paris, sometimes in
,the country', occasionally traveling abroad, he added :
' On the lo^h of January last I went to dine with the
female prisoner in the Rue de Boulogne, then
went home to dress, returned about 11, and re-
Imained abcut an hour; we took a cab to the
opera, agreeiing to meet at the bead of the grand
staircase about 2 : we took a cab for the
prisoner's hbme and alighted at the gate ; I paid the
ciibuian aud rang the bell ; while going up the ave-
nue to the house I saw a figure advance from the
wall and tlirow something ut me ; I felt terrible
pain in the ilace, shrieked aloud, and knew that I was
blinded for the rest of my life ; T moimted the stairs
to the rooms of Mme. Gras. aud a herbalist In
the neighborhood was sent for ; Mme. Gras
nursed mt| and the next day a doctor came ;
Mme. Gras came to see me at Rouen in
1875. wheii I was doing my 1'2 months' military Vol-
unteer service ; I never stayed liut'a month' at a
time in Paris, and she never followed uie on my
travels; in| 1876 I went to Egvpt ^nd Italy, con-
stantly corfespondiuK with her : I authorized her to
have afbesu to my Paris rooms in my absence. I re-
ported much confi'dence in her and loved her much,
though aha was 15 vears my senior ; from the
15th of Oj'tober to the SOth of December last I
was constantly in Paris, and, on leaving, promL^ted to
take her tojthe Opera ball ; I thought her wish to go
strange ana dan^rous, as she had but just recov.
ered trum bronchitis. I had never been seen with
her in public before, and iu corre-spondence I had
tried to divert her from the plan. My relations with
her were probably known to my family, who had
talked of fijding a wife for me. but never seriously.
I saw nobody at all but the prisoner in her house.
While she MTas dressing I was sometimes In her bed-
room, sometimes in the dining-room. I do not re-
member her saying. "Leave me alone, I shall not
have time ti> dress.''
As to the la« part of this deposition, it sliotild bo
explained [that the fo'mdrj'maii Goudry. who w
chanjcd wii h hnvinjr carried out the diabolical scheme
of Mm. Grji.s. weni'to the house at night, while his
\i<'tim was away dn";siug. and on the return of the
latter was placed by Mm. Gras in a dark closet, where
he could hear the conversation. According
to Gondrr. M. De la Rofhe hindered her
dressing, whereupon she told him to go to
the dinine room and Iwik at a book lie wonld
there. When she had dressed she went
to Gomlry vrith a candle, said to hira, '* Vuis coining-
jc siiU belM," kis>>ed him. and swore if he did what
.«he had directed him she would roarrj' him within
three months. After the pair had loft he went into

ducers, merchants, railroad orapluVLS. and ^cap-
italists, so that on any quc.sti'-n a fair compro-
mise maybe effected. A lueinber of the Cabinet,
in a recent conversation, spf'ke of this plan, nii'l
argued that Congress has the riiiht to puss CTirh
a law under the clau'^e of the Constitution
authorizing that body to rejjulnte commcjee \viih
fr^rei^n nations and amontr the several States
and with the Indian tribes. He furtherargu^d that
the theory ufHiU which our Government is found-
ed is one of compromise. He thou^yht Congres'*
in its wisdom would devise a proper method of
appointing this commission, so that it should, not
be open to undue infiuences, but be composed
of persons representing all interests. He did
not favor the Federa! Government having com-
plete control of the matter, because it has been
proposed to have a Bureau of Industry. He
thought this would fail to effect the object desired
to the satisfaction of all concerned. Besides.
such a plan would be open to the
objection of consoiicUitinK the busines in-
terests of the country in the Creneral Govem-
meni. and wotdd be in opposition to our repre-
sentative system of Goveriiment. Another
point referred to in the conversation was the
fact that a representative commission might be
vested with power to examine into the desira-
bility of chartering new rcUroads ; that it
might require certain conditions to be fulfilled,
so as to establish a i-easonable certaintj.' that a
projected road would be remunerative, and that
the company would have means to pay foij its

"Washington', Aug. 5. — Xo action has; yet
been taken by the War Department toward re-
calling the Federal troops recently ordercil to
different points in Pennsylvania. Illinois, '3Iis-
souri, Maryland, and elsewhere to the posts oc-
cupied by them before the labor troubles com-
menced, and it is not probable that the troops will
be removed from these localities for some time
to come, the (Jovernment being able to projvide
for the Antiy at one point just as well as at an-
other, and there being ample facilities for: the
maintenance of the troops in the States above
mentioned. At Rock Island, 111., Fort [ Mc-
Henr>', near Baltimore, Allegheny Arsenal at !
Pittsburg, aud other public buildings ad.
to the larze cities, detachments can bi
fortably quartered, so there is no necessity Xor
ordering troops back, to the barracks occupied
bv them before the railroad strike. Many of
these troops, it will be remembered, were sta-
tioned in the South ; therefore that section, will
now be without Federal soldiers.
The whole subject of issuing military supplies,
arms. &c.. is now under the direct management
of Gen. Hancock, in the Military Division of the
Atlantic; Lieut. -Gen. Sheridan, in the Division
of the Missouri, and Uen. McDowell, ^in the
Division of the Pacific. Heretofore the isatie of
arms and supplies to the Army has been through
the respective bureaus of the War Department
in Washington ;; but since the recent troubles
commenced it has been deemed proper to leave
this matter in the hands of the military com-
manders mentioned, who can supply their
troops without delay, as the exigencies of the
service may reliuire. ^ I

marriage at .St. Mary's Parish Church here this morn-
ing. A Freuch couple from Calais, havingbeen staying
in the tonu a sufScient length of time to have the
banns published in this church, came up this morn-
ing to be maiTied, and the ceremony proceeded satis-
factorily until tbo joining of hands and the putting
ou of the rin£, when it w«s discoveired that the
Frenchman had no ring. There was an awkward
pause. No one in the company could lend a ring for
the occasion; whereunon the officiating clergyman
(Rev. Mr. Pinley) sent the verger for the cnurch-
door key. the eye of which instnmient has been
used in other places in similar emergencies. It was
found, hojwever, that the eve was not rfUffieiently

searched his pockets .-igain. and brought out a bunch

pendages, was placed on the book, from thcnce it was
transferred to the bride's finger, and with the steel

STEALIXO WOliKJIEyS WAGES.
Detective Doyle, of the Sixteenth Precinct,
last night arrested Charles B. Valentine, of No. 84
Horatio-street, for a very mean theft perpetrated by
him on Saturday evening. Valentine is employed
by Peter ! Black, of No. 102 West Twenty-
for stock subscription^. These were subse-
quently withdrawn arid replaced with mort-
gages on swamp lotsj wild land, depressed
stocks, and other so-called securities, worth lit-
tle more thai^the pape|r they were written on.
Among the first batch of securities deposited with
the Insurance Department at Springfield, was a
mortgage on a lot of svvramp land bordering on
Calmnet Lake, and well calculated for the propa-
gation of bull-frogs, mud-turtles, and swamp
grass. Agencies were established In all
sectiona of the county, aud blank
policies scattered about ,with a lavish
hahd, andl vigorous j efforts made to secure
a big business. The policy-holders were divided
into separate classes, according to age.
Every member, on Securing a policy was
obliged to pay a fee of $10 or $20.
The policies were of three kinds— $1,250
$2,50Q and $5,000. Ettch policy stipulated that
the holder shoulcL annually pay a sum of from
$3 toi $5 as meimbership dues, and
in addition agreed to pay on th e
death of any policjy-holder his pro rata
of a sum sufficient to liquidate the amount for
which deceased was Insured, provided the policy-
holders liable to .such contribution exceeded the
number of dolla'ra for| which the deceased was
insure4- Should the number of policy-holders
have been less than the amount insured, then
each member agreed to pay a pro rats, so tliat
the heirs of the deceased should receive as many
dollars las there were members of the company.
It was further stipulated that all moneys col-
lected by ^sessment should be applied only
to the payment of death losses. The officers of
the compapy at its organization were S. S.
Skinner, ifresident ; L. P. Hilliard, Vice-Presi-
dent : John E. Frye, Secretary, and John B.
Shepherd, j Treasurer. The lust named Indi-
vidual iwas engaged in running a private bank,
which one fine morning placarded its failure on
its door. I
In lijf73 the company was in a desperate con-
dition., It I could not pay its death lo-^tse-s, aud
banknjptcv Istared it in the face. At this junc-
ture, E. "^Vl. Edwards aud John Keid of this
city took charge of it. securing a controlling in-
terest, j Itijwas reorganized, and Hilliard be-
came pro3i<b'iit,*and Edwards was made Secre-
tary, and -Keid Vice-President. Some of the
worthless I securities were withdrami, and
others |of e^ual value, which wtre winke^l at by
the Insunihce _ Oepartnient. wero deposited in
their place.! Prom the day of its or^^nizarion
the ineml>ersbip fee ix'ceipts were insufficient
to meet the expensus of the company. Many nf
tho poli'-y-holders would pay s*everal death
as.sessment.s and quit. The concern gnrw
rapidly from bad to worse, and when the change
nf management took place it was $:J0O,00O
worse off tlian nothincr. and is now
over jJT.OO.OiH) in d.fault. the Edwards-
Keid management is characterized as a regular
plundering system. It consisted in carrying
fonvam thje deaths among its policy:holders for
from tlireeto six months, and in colb-ctinp: as-
sessiu«nts from the policy-holders in order to
pay lojssea Caused by the death of persons
who never had an existence. A more diuboli-
cul scheme for rohbing the public was never
invent€<l, if the statements in the apnlica-
tion for guQ wnrrnnio are true. It is alleged
in aflldavitB that death assos-sjiifiits iv>llecte<i
Wf-re dJivtrtcd to the use of Edwards and Keid.
More Ithan this, it lis .said the company
in.stin^tfd a .system of 'iaring forward
deaths so that poUoy-holdev^. i-ven ihou;:li
they caibe iu after a dt-ath. had
to pay a porrion of the policy. In June, the af-
fairs of the company bL'gun to look boflly, when
K. >t. |\Voods. Examiner of the Insurance De-
partni^ut c|f this State, was sent here to look
intfl thf (jdnipany's condition. He reported
that ^ Ht as ho could ascertain the company
was all right. It is alleged that matters were
so fixed up between Edwards and the Auditor
that the lat:er, knowing the company mu.>*t (fo
under land! its rottenness be exposed, allowed the
Officers of Protection to withdraw all the
valuable securities there were, $10,000 in the
stock ^f thij Fintt National Bank of ( ■arlinviUe.
The remainder of the securities are said to be
entirely worthless, yet Mr. Woods reported that
the coinpany had a clt*ar surplus of over $10O,-
000 over li ibilities.
A bijll will be filed to-morrow calling upon the
compju'ny to show cause \*hy it should continue
doing Ihusine,s3 since it has violated the law.

to the European Commission of the Danube, vrciXi
to the London Time* on July 23 as follows : " The
official news which has juat reached England that the
Russians have sunk several barxres laden with stone
in the Stdina branch of the Danube, backing them up
with a mass of stone, so as to leave only four feet of
water on the sill thus formed, is of a graver nature
than would appear at first sight, as I will en-
deavor to explain. In 1856 the European
Commission of the Danube, by virtue of
the Treaty of Paris, was charged to clear the
mouths of the Danube and to fix and levy dues on
shipping, in order to cover the expenses of the neces-
sary works of improvement. The Stdina branch and
mouth having been selected for special treirtraeut,
the jetties at the Snlina mouth were begun in 1858,
and were completed in a provisional manner in
1861, when the depth had tacreased from 9 feet to
1712 feet. In 1868-71 these jetties were con-
solidated, and since that time the depth on the bar
has not been less than 20 feet. During the period
this great improvement was being effected at the
Sulina mouth, important works of correction
were carried ont at more than a dozen places in the
■ SuUna branch, by means of which its navigable depth
was increased five feet. It was thought permanently,
and throe of Its worst bends got rid of by a new cut.
which reduced the length of the branch one mile.
The total length of the branch is now 45 miles, and
at that distance from its mouth the Sulina leaves the
Toultcha branch, the bifurcation being called St.
George's ' Ohatal,' which is the Turkish word for
fork. In April last, on my annual visit to the Lower
Panabe. I found that the least depth over the worst
shoal in the Stdina branch was 171^ feet (equal to 13
feet at extreme low water.) and the lea-st depth at
the mouth 21 feet. But for the long-continued and
anxious labors of the European Commission of the
Danube, the least depth in the Sulina branch would
at that time have been less than 12ie feet, (equal to
Ti'jfwjt at extreme low water,) and the depth at
tbe mouth would probably not have exceeded 9
feet. Owing to the great success of the works,
the charges on shipping have been reduced from
1 5 shillings to 2 shillings 6 pence per ton : the num.-,
her of shipwrecks has decrensed from 39 in 10. (X»0
in 1855-60 to 2 in 10.000 from 1869-76 : and the
exportation or grain from the Lower Danube has in-
creased from less than 2,000,000 quarters annuallv
before the improvements to upward of 4.500,000
quarters in 1876. more than two-thirds of the latter
beingtransported in British bottoms.
" The Russian dam has been formed across the
Suhna branch at one and ,a half miles below St.
George's Chatal. and if not speedily removed it will
render almost nugatory the labors of the commis-
5ion,andthe heavy outlay tfaathas been incurred overa
period of 20 years : for the branch being robbed of a
large portion of ita normal flow, will inevitaldy deteri-
orateat a rapid pace. Iif other words, the slackened cur-
rent caused by the submerged silt will cau5!6 consider-
able deposits of sand and rand to be rapidly thr»twn
down throughout the whole length of the branch as
long as the artificial obstruction remains, while at
the embouchure the absence of a strong fluvial cur-
rent will permit the waves to drive sand and silt
into the navigable channel, and there form a con-
siderable shoal. The Intention of the dam is e\-i-
dently to prevent the ascent of Turkish irondads
above St. George's Chatal. and to cut off the , retreat
to the sea of the Turkish river fleet. I will
not attempt ±o discu-ssherehow the object in view
could liave been as well acctjmpUshed without report-
ing to the ver>' extreme measure of completely block-
ing up by a solid dam the (rreat and sole bigliway of
water oommunleatiou for tradiuir vessels between
the countries of the Lower Danube and the Black
Sea, hut I may venture to remark that this verj- seri-
ous act. a-s regards future consequeu^es, is quite nt
variance with the spirit and letter of the following
paragraphs from the decree issued by the Russian <iov-
emment for the guidance of the Russian authoritie-i
during the present war. and whicli ap|>eared in cjclenso

TBE GREAT RAFT OF SPARS.
The Albany Argjis of Saturday says : " The
ocean raft of spars which Messrs. George E. Young &
Son. of Boston, have at/nnged to have taken to that
city is one of the biggest things of the kind ever at-
tempted. The spars are between 500 aud GOO iu
number, and were purchased in Hamiltou, Ontario,
aud in order to save the large expense incident to
shipping them by rail to Boston, it was determined
to try to float them in a raft by way of New-York
and Long Island Sound. A contract was made with
Christopher Schwinger, of Tonawanda, N. Y., by
which he engaged Himself to superintend the trans-
fer. The spars were bound together iu a raft, which
left Hamilton, Ontario, ou the iWth of June,Jn tow
of the M. A- Mimson. for Oswego. \Vhen it
reached there on the following Saturday it was
found necessary to break It up in divisions,
so that it wotild pass through the Oswego
and Erie Canals to Troy. The sections were of the
width of an ordinary canal-boat and of the length of
the spars. In this way part has already passed
through the canal, and the rest is on its way. When
all the spars have arrived in Troy they will be made
into a raft 150 feet wide and 300 or 400 feet long,
which will be taken to New- York by tugs, under the
direct supervision of Mr. Sichwlnger. Arrived there
the raft will be taken apart once more and will be
rebuilt witli the greatest care, iron chains replacing
the withes, which are considered strong euough to
bind it for iU passage down the river. It will
then be taken through the East River into the
Sound, and round to Boston. It will not start tintil
a spell of clear weather comes. The ..open sea off
Cape Cod is not feared so much as the heavy swell at
Pomt Judith. The raft will probably reach New-
York in two or three weeks. It is expected that
$9,000 will be saved by tHia n^ode of shipment;
that is, (rf course, if the raft should arrive safely at
Boston. Rafts of timber hu^r than this are sent
down the rivers of Maine every Spring, aud occa-
sionally are taken from Portland to Boston via the
sea. Several lots of timber have been sent to Boston
from New-York through the Sound, but old boatmen
say that this is the biggest venture yet."

BRITISH TROOPS FOR THE EAST
THE PROCESS OF FOEMINQ AND DISPATCHINO
ABHY CORPS ON FOREIGN SERVICE— EXACT
CONDITION OF ZNGI^AND'S ARMY.
Frmn em Eimlinh Miliiarif OorrttpandeBt.
London, Thursday, July 26, 1877.
It may seem to the general public a very-
simple matter to dLspatch an army corjis to the
seat of war in the East. The popular idea prob-
ably is that Jlr. Hardy would say : ** Send an
army corps to Turkey," and that, like the cen-
turion mentioned in the New Testament, instant
obedience would ensue. The real state of tlie^
case ifi, however, ver^' different. Before placing
such a force in the field it would be necessary to
bring up 21 battalion.-? of infantry, sis regiments
of cavalry, four horse and 11 field batteries, be-
sides engineers, transport, &c., to a war strength.
Let us see what is our actual position, and
first as to the infantry. Mr. Hardy stated the
ther day that he had been enabled to bring up
fSbattalions to a strength of 902 of all ranks,
anoHhat altogetlier he could at once dispose of
21 bMtalions in a high state of eflBclency. We
presume'^iat three of these battalions would be
taken fromsthe Guards. As these throe battal-
ions would bb^formed from seven battalions, it
is certain that they could at once be raisetl to
their war strength of 1.097 of all ranks, and
consist of men in every way fit for the field. It
is different, howevor.^ith the other l.*i battal-
ions. It was frankly, aomitted by the military
correspondent of the Tiiffi^that the recruits in-
spected by* the Duke of Gambridge at Aldershot.
the other day, were too Voiuhful and lathy.
We know that such is Hhe\ca.se, and we
venture to assert that of \the\ men who
recently joined, not more thaff', one-third
have been old and strong ^^ eni^ugh to
tindergo the hardships of a campaign till they
have served ou au average two years. \We may
fairly assume that in each battalion at least 150
are thus disqualified for acrive sei-vice\ To
these may be added, say 370 sick, worn ouv4^
prison, and absent without leave and undriUedv,
Thus the 903 are reduced to 6S2 efficient men, ^
leaving 415 to be added to make up the 1,097
for IS battalions — 7.470 men. To meet this
demand we have the first-class Army reserve,
which could supply about 5.000 efiicient in-
fantry soldiers. The balance of 2-K) would
have to be obtained either by calling for volun-
teers from regiments left at home, or by draw-
ing ou the militia reserve. Volunteers iu suffi-
cient numbers would certainly come for-
ward, but we must remember that by
so doing we should reduce the home bat-
talions to such a state of attenuation —
for we should take from them their best
men— -that it would be dltur-ult satisfactorily to
provide a second corps iTurmtt;. Besides, every
home battaliou acts as a feeder to a battalion m
India or the Colonies, and iiow is its function to
be performed if the .supply meant for the annual
d rafts is diverted from its proper desunaiiou i
Were we to adopt .such a borrowing from Peter
to pay Paul method, either the battalions in
India and the Culonies would rapidly melt away,
or the battalions at home would cease to be any-
thing more than algebraical .'symbols. The
^lilitia reserve would give. ;;a,y 2.500 half-
trained soldiers, but it ^'ould take sftme weeks
to call out. distribute, cl-iihe, and ciniplete the
drill of these men. We nixy, tliert't'ore. assume
that it would be iuipossible to look to this source
for the expansion of the first corps tVartiUe sent
abroad, Conse«juently It would be absolutely
necessary to obtain from the 51 battalions left
at home about 50 uiuu out of tlwso 520 rank
and file. The obtaining and distribiilin«r thi-se
vohmteers could ^lot >>e ac<'omp!i.>-lieJ luidf^r :i
fortnisht. at tin- least, and the IJrst «_-I:tss Annv
reserve could not be calU^d up and po.sied to regi-
ments iti a shorter period.
We now come to the cavalry. Excluding the
Hou.^^eliold Cavalry, there are 10 regiments ui
houK*. of whieli 9 have a total .strength of 02>'.
and 10 of 530 nif-n. thn former lLaviHg.379 and
iiiul tbo latter 317 burses. Th<j c-st.-ibUsliTuent
for :i rt'triuient of cavalry in the field is *3.'33 . of
all ranks and 4^0 trvJOj) hordes. If si::^ of tin;
regiuu'Uts ou tho highest pence establishment
were taken, they would require to complete
them to their war strength about 300 mt;n and
7CR) liorses. The difference between p«aco and
war strength in men Is "27) per regiment, and
it is not unrcasonaJjle to allow for
sick, physically unfit, absent, and men
not fully tmined. anoTht-r 25 j.er regi-
ment. The differt.'uce betwee»-^the peace
and war est.'vblishnu^ut in horses is 101. and
there must be.udrk-.l ?-ay 1(» horses per regiment
too youiiir. untiitinod. unfit for ser\'ice. &c.
There are few cavalrymen in the first cla.ss
army reserve who woidd be fit to rejoin that
brant* h. It would therefore l)e necessary to ob- '
tain from each of the 13 regiments left at home
some 'JS men and ."»5 horses. The practice of
IJUing up service regiments at the expense of
those which are left at home is objectionable ;
still, both the men and the horses could without
great practical iucouvenience be obtained in
ihia way for tbe completion of the 'cavalry of
an armv corps suddenh- ordered on service.
The peace establishment of a horse artillery
battery is 163 officers and men. and 10-S horse.s,
the war establishment 179 officers aud men.
and 104 troop horses. Thus, to complete the
strength of tne four batteries, there would be
HKiuired, including men sick, imperfectly
trained, physically unfit, absent. <tc.. and horses
too young, worn out, or unsound, about 320
nieri. and 2-10 horses. As there are three horse
brigades, each with 10 service aud one depot
battery, there would be no difficulty about this.
Xor would it be difficult to complete the 11
field batteries. The peace establishment of a
field batter\- is 15t' of all ranks, aud >S4 horses;
the war cstabiishmeiil, for a lO-pounder bat-
tery, is 198 of ail ranks, and \7y2 horses : for a
9-pounder battery, 172 of all ranks, aud
126 horses. The 11 ih'ld batteries of an
army corpsr consist of three 9-pouDder. aud
eight 16-po'ander batteries. Making therefore.
as above, allowance for men and horses sick,
untrained. Arc. the addition requiix'd would l»e
420 men and 720 horses. Ou the home estal>-
lishment there are sis field brigades of .seven
servire and one depot batteries each. The addi-
tional horses and men could therefore be given.
but the batteries left at home would feel the
draw very sensibly, for it would be uuturally
the best men and horses who would be drafted.
The proportion of engineers for an army corps
amounts to 1,20*J officers and men and 5»2
horses. There are at home 3.992 officers and
meu, but only 422 horses. The men. therefore,
could W easily forwarded, but 100 liorses
would have to bo purchased or t.nuporarily bor-
rowed from the nrlillen.-, which can ill spare
them.
Besides the bmnches of tho service above
dealt, with, there are also the Military Police,
and the Commissariat. Medical. Veterinurj', and
Chaj>tuius' Depannieuts. We need not <'oncera
ourselves about the two latter. The Military
Police of an army corps consists of 3<X) officers
atid men aud 2tJ0 horses. At present we have
about one skeleton troop. The commissariat is
541 of all ranks and 378 hor.-jes. These could
be supplied. The Medical Department re-
quires, besides otJS drivers and 1,310 horses.
297 office!. s, including a few Lieuleuants
and Captains of orderlies, and 2,195 imm. L'u-
fortunately the Army Hospital Corps, of which
a large portion is iu the Colonies, only numbers
1.595 of all ranks, and. exclusive of those in
India, there are but 531 medical officers. The
weakest point of all. nowever. is the transport
We have a sufficient- skeleton of officers aud
men, but no reserve of horjiies, aud we know
that Turkey is altogether devoid of resources of
that sort, "The total number of horses of all
sorts required by au army corps is ll,iS03. and
the total uumber uow iu 'possession is only
15.148.
The conciosion we arrive at is, that we could,
in the' course of a fortnight from the is.sue of
the order, have an army corps com.plete in all
but Anuy Hospital Corps, Military Police, and
transport horses, ready to embark. This result,
however, could only be accomplished by draw-
ing on regiments left at home, and calling out
the first-class army reserve. With powerful
steamers the force could be conveyed to Con-
stantinople in another 14 days. This
is the limit, as regards time, of what we
could do. A fortnight or three weeks lat«r
we coultl, however, laud at Constantinople a
second army corps 30,805 strong, but both
corps would be for some time unable to move
for want of transport. This is the limit as re-
gards numbers. It should not, however, be
forgotten that we could obtain any number of
fighting men from India, and that, within a
mouth after the receipt of an order, it would be
Df»3sible to dispatch 40.000 troops— of whieh

The Money market during the week afforded
unmistakable evidence of a hardening ten-
dency, and the impaession very generally pre-
vailed that high rates of interest will obtain in
the near future, especially if the revival in busi-
ness, so eagerly looked forward to, should take
place. Tho Disooimt market eshibited decided
drmness, the rates for prime mercantile paper
being 4L,2i'tJ V cent, llie great bulk of the
business in call loans was done at 1 1^2^'^ ^ cent.,
though occasionally higher rates prevailed.
The foreign advices reported unsettled mar-
kets at London and at the Continental centres
. ?arly in tho week, owing to the apprehensions
existing that a general European war w^a immi-
, nent, but toward the close there was an improved
feeling, and at London Consols and United
States bonds were firm. The Bank of-England
reported a decrease of £288,000 bulUoii for the
•week ending "Wednesday. The bank rate of dis-
count continues aX'Z 9 cent., but in the open
market money is considferatlj* ea.sier, and three-
months bills are discounted at 13^ |^ cent.
The Sterling Exchange market w^s weak,
and rates declined. At the close the asking
quotations were $4 SjI^ !>nd $4 87, irith
actual business at concessions. The supply of
commercial bills was larger than of late, while
there was little disposition to purchase.
The Gold speculation was tame. The price
declined from lOo^g to lOSl*, and subsequent-
ly recovered to lOui-j, which was the closing
quotation. Cash Gold was in less active de-
mand than hist week, and loaned from 3 ^
cent, for use to flat. The Treasurj' on Thurs-
day sold $1,000,000 gold at 103.;iS'a>105.32.
Government bonds werequiet and in the main
firm. The variations in prices were unusually
■li^ht, and the market presented no special
lnaXan. la nilcead pinrtaogM tb» [dnaiinmi
weie fairly aetiya. Th% general muteteiiMbitad
flmmess at a higher range of prices. St. Iibuis
and Iron Mountain Firsts, however, declined 5
^ cent, sales having been induced by the com-
pany's default on the interest due Aug. 1. State
bonds were .quiet, the principal biisihess having
been in Louisiana Consols, District Columbia
3-C5s, and 'Tennessees. i
On the Stock fexehange the speculative inter-
est centred chiefly in Western Union, the deal-
ings in which were attended with consider?ible
excitement. The shares, under active purchajses,
rose from GTSg to 73, with a partial rcactiop in
the late dealings. It is very generally believed
that Jay Gould, who had been for a long period
a Renounced bear on the stock, has, withj his
accustomed wilyness, succeeded in stealinig a
march upon his late associates and executiilg a
complete change of front, and is now, with his
following, committed to tho buU side] of
the account, while against him are , ar-
rayed the California speculator and sime
prominent members of the Twenty-third-
street party. Unless indications ; are en-
tirely deceptive, a fierce straggle la im-
pending between the rival cliques, in wliich [for-
tunes will be lost .-rnd won. The general mar-
ket was a shade lower, but on tho whole fsjirly
firm, with the c:sccption of Hannibal and I St.
Joseph, in which a decline ranging from 3l2 to
5 f cent, wa-s recorded, followed by some re-
cover}-. Promiuent among the events of the
week was the passiing of the idividend by the
Peunsylvauia Railroad Company, which, low-
ever, exercised no appreciable influence tiipon
the course of prices. : |

THE TIMES OUT OP HARMONY WITH COBDEN S
DOCTRINES— HIS DISCIPLES DESPONDENT
AXD DISCOrR.\GED.
The London Daily Xetcs, referring to tho an-
nual dinner of the Cobden Clnb on Saturday, July
lil. obserr^s that no easier and more obrious subject
could be found for the satirist in quest of a topic
than the idea of the philosophers of peace sitting.
down to celebrate the triumphs of the apostle of free
trade and International harmony at a time when a
great war is raging in the south-east of Europe, when
we are looking out with daily increasing anadety to
see if any other belligerents are likely to extend its
operations, and when no inconsiderable number of
veiy inconsiderate persons among ourselves are
clumorlng that we, too, ouffUt to bear a hand in the
free fight. The work of the Cobden Club, how-
ever, has notliing to do directly with the
prnelaro.ntinn of the doctrines of peace and non-
intervention. The principles of the Cobden Club are
that free trade is" the tiltimate condition of a sound
^■stem t^f national and international commerce, and
that free trade conduces to international peace. But
even If the Cobden Club were much more directly
tlian it is a peace society, we shall not thinit that i't
bad lost by the presence of war any part of Its right
t-o preach its own principles and to celebrate what-
ever progress in their acceptance even the very
operations of war itself might possibly bV^aade to
show. The ^Standard observes that through nil the
speeches delivei-ed at the banquet tJiere ran
a vein ■ of discouragement, almost of des-
pondency, wliich showed the consciousness of
the S)>e'akers that the times are out of har-
mony ivith the principles they had met to honor.
Attd,' indeed, wherever we look on the Continent of
Europe, or even in the model Republic across the
Atlantic, we see only falsification of JOr. Cobden's-
Sropliecies, and rejection of his doctrines. But the
isappofntment is not confined to other countries.
The triumph of free trade even in England is far less
asstired than is commonlv supposed. The Standard
does not for u a moment "believe that the danger of a
reversal of our free-trode poBcy is as yet appre-
ciable, but circumstances might make it very real. A
lengthened period of depression in business, an
obstinate adherence to prohibitivejtariffs abroad, an
increase of tlie national burdens, and a threatening
of ont^'ood supplies, might raise a very formidable
agitanon against the poLey that now seems secure
against attaeit. ^^^^^^
SAVED FROM STARVATIOX BY A CAT
The Suffolk (Va,) Herald relates the following
incident : " Some time ago tho wife of Mr. Alfred
Davis (who was drowned with his two sons last Fri-
day evening in Nansemond Ri\-er) was confined to
her room with protracted sickness, and such was the
poverty of the poor manthathe was unable to procure
the necessary uonris'iunent for her ; indeeti, as Mr.
Da^'is relatetl tho case, the wants of the family -mu-st
have been of the severest and most trying nature, the
family subsisting for several weelcs on potatoes and salt
alone. During the sad indisposition of Mrs. Davis
and her pressing ^ant for delicate food, a common
house cat went into the field aud caught a young
haro and brought it to the house. Mr. Da\-is took.
the hare and made it into soup for his suffering wife,
which catu^d a rapid improvement in her condition.
The day following tho same cat again set out on its
mission of charity, and succeeded in catching a part-
ridge, which was likewise brought to the house aud
delivered as wa^ the hai-e ; and thus it was, through
the instrumentality of this cat. the life of this unfor-
tunate lady was saved from absolute star^'ation.
The facts of the above can be substantiated as cor-
rect, and are given as related by Mr. Davis in per-
son." _

IMPOSING CEREMONIES AT BRADFORD, ENG-
LAND—THE UKVEELING SPEECH DELIV-
ERED BT EIGHT HON. JOHN" BRIGHT — THE
STATUE PBESENTED-TO THE TOW2t BY AN
AMERICAN.
, The London morning papers of July 26,
devote much space to fJie reports of the tmreilixu; of
the Cobden statue at Bradford, some of them print-
ing the addresses in folL The following condensed
account of the ceremonies Is from the PaU MaU
Gazette ot tie 25th: " This morning Bight Hon,
John Bright unveiled the niarble statue which hfca
he«n erected to the late Richard Cobden in the hall of
the Bradford Exchange. The ceremony was wit-
nessed by an immense crowd, who throng4>d the ap-
proaches to the building long before 12:30, the time
fixed for the commencement of the proceedings.
The interior of the hall wore a verj* brilliant api>ear-
an ce, the flags of various nationalities being finely
displayed. At the time appointed the Chairman, ac-
companied by the committee of the Exchange and by'
the leading Liberals of the borough, to tho number of
upward of 100, appeared on tlie platform, and took
his seat amid loud applause. The rear of the proces-
sion was brought up by Mr. Bright, who was received
with deafening cheers. A large ntunber of ladies oc-
cupied the gallery immediately opposite the platform.
The proceeduigs weire oi>ened by Mr. A. Illbigworlh,
ex-M. P., for Bradford, whoso guest Mr. Bright
Is during his visit. The Clialrman made
a few remarks upon the labors of Cobden
and Bright In the cause of free trade, and
referred to the advantages which had followed the
repeal of the t!om Laws. He then calkxl upon the
Secretary, Mr. Wade, to give a brief statement of
the circumstances under which the statue was pre-
sented to the committee aud subscribers of the Ex-
change. Other gentlemen were then cali6«i tfpon lo
address the Idrge assemblage, including among others
Mr. Jacob Behrens, who in the name of the mer-
chants of Bradford warmly welcomed Mr. Bright.
An address to the right honorable gentleman from
the committee of the iixchango was tlien r<iad and
presented to him. Mr. Briirbt on ritdng to speak was
received with protracted cheering. In the course of
his remarks^he assured the meeting tliftt it afforded
him the utmost jdeasure to see so faithful a like-
ness of a statesman with whom be had been
closely a.Hsociated for 25 ye.irs. He felt that he was
not in a position to speaK to them-as he could have
desired, but lioped they would feel that he could
never foi^et the part he bad taken iiA;the proceedings
that day. He proceeded to give aVrief sketch of
Mr. Cobden's career, and jiointed out the great obsta-
cles which be had overcome during Ids life as a mer-
chant. He also touched upon hi.s abilities as a politi-
cian at a comparatively earlj' perlml of his career.
and referred specially- to his efforts in the cause of
education at tlwt period. The speech was listened to
throughout with the deepest attoution, and at inter-
vals loudly applauded, more especially when refer-
ence was made to the agitation for the repeal of the
Com Laws."
The Times of the same date i»rints tho following
description of the statue : " Tlie statue of Mr. Cob-
den is the ^tt of the late Mr. (>. 1£. Booth, an
American, who wjus the senior partner in the Bnul-
ford firm of Booth, Firth A- Co. He placed £1,000
In the bands of a enmiaittee for tho purpose of real-
izing his desire. The result was tliat the committee
ultimately entered into a contract with Mr. But.er,
Au artist strongly recommended by the well-known
sculptor. Mr. Foley. Tltt statue has been cut from
a very fine block of Carrara marble, remarkably
free frf>m color, and which "weighed nearly
1 2 ton.s in the rough state. It is now re-
dncetl to about three tons.^ Tb.e figure, with the
plinth below, is 7 feet D inches in height, and of pro-
portionate broadtb. The sculptor represents Mr.
Cobden ns he himself saw him 40 years ago. He has
taken his idea of the face from the welljEnown bust
by Mr. Woolner, R. A., now in Westminster Abbey,
a copy of which was secured for the National Portrait
Gallery. Mr. Butler has a!so been aided by photo-
graphs. Tlie figure stands on a polislied granite
pedestal, on the front of which is the name * CoWen.*
which is encircled by the. motto, ' Free Trade, Peace.
and Good-will among Nations.' An inscription on
tlie back bears the name of Mr. Booth, and states
that he was led to erect the statue because of admira-
tiou for the character and labors of llr. Cobden."
SITFATIOirS WANTEB.
THE ^'ROCEETTORPEDO."
The Pall Hall Gazette says: *'The latest
form of torpedo is a so-called " rocket-torpedo," de-
signed by Mr. Macdonald, the patentee of the im-
proved Halc-]Stacdonald war rocket. Prom the de-
scription of this new locomotive torpedo it appears
ihat it is cigar-shaped, its si» depending upon the
distance it is reqtiired to travel and the amount of
explosive charge it is to ca.ry. Its minimum speed
is said to be three times that of the well-known
WHiitebead torpedo, which latter, it may be remem-
bered, can be made to travel at a rate of 25 or 26
knots an hour.' and its range exceeds two miles. The
rocket-torpedo . is fired from a skeleton
tube or trough by means of an electric
fuse, and it can be disch arged witli
equal facility from an ordinary ship's launch, or from
thp side of a first-class iron-clad frigate ; the spc-ial
fittings required for it being of the simplest nature.
CNnnpared with the Whitehead, several advantages are
elaimed for the rocket-tarpedo. It will bear any
amount of rough usage, while it lias not the element
of danger which is present in the "Whitehead in the
form of compressed air at an enormous pressure. It
ha--* no delicate iutem.al machinery or projections
lialde to injury ; its motive power beinc gas, gener-
ated by the slow conobiistion of a composition evol-
\ing a rapidly exMnding ga-s. Its cost is about one-
tenth that of* the Whitehead, Its accuracy is all that
can i)e desired, no deflection whatever being observ-
able in smooth w;ater. while, unlike the Whitehead,
its velocity does not decrease as the range increases."
AID FOR SICK AXD WOUXDED TURKS.
The Pall MaU Gazette ot July 23 saya : "A
committee of ladies has been formed at Constanti-
nople for preparing bandars, sheets, and- other ne-
cessaries urgently required for the Turkish sick and
wotmded. They are independent of any society, and
are ready to give the benefit of their work to any per-
sons who may be at the seat of war, and can make
proper use of the articles they are prepared to send.
In this way a grea.t deal of good can be done witb
comparatively small means, as the ladies forming the
committee give their own work and that of their
friends to niako what is necessarj-. Tliev have
already sent sheets aud pillow cases for 300 beds to
Batouin, lint bandages, &c., to Erzeroum, and are
about to send off mattresses and other net^ssaties to
Varna. All the.se. articles have been made up by
themselves, and have been forwarded to En^lisli sur-
geons employed in the Turkish hospitals. Tbe l*resi-
dent of the committee is Mrs. L.iyard. and amone its
members are the Princess Reuss* (the German Am-
bassadress;) and Mme. D'Ehrenhoff, the wife of tbe
Swedish ilinister. Contributions may be sent to
M. Henry Allii Hau.<>on. Great Winchester-street,
E. C. for the Ladies' Committee in aid of -the Sick
and Wounded."
SECRET SOCIETY OF SERVAXT GIRLS.
The Dubuque (Iowa) Times of nhe 2d inst,
says; " A lady of this city has for some weeks past
been endeavoring to re-engage a servant girl wlio
worked for her a couple of years ago, and ga\-e excel-
lent satisfaction. But the girl resolutely refused to
come, though she acknowledged that she liked her
former mistress as much as the latter liked her. She
was promised emplo\-ment as- long as she desired,
even for years, but she still remain^ immovable in
her refused- Then tbe ladv urged her to give her
reasons for refusing so WKceflent an ofier. of a per-
manent place with one whom she acknowledged she
liked so well. Then the girl acknowledged tliat slie
was a memher of a * ring,' or secret societj'. of ser-
vant girls, all and each of whom were pledged to
bring from their employers a given amount of pro-
visions— meat, or flour, or butter, or soap, or some-
thing— each week ; and in return for this, when out
of emplojTuent. the person to whom these articles
were given supportea them until they found, or she
could find for them, another place. And the girl re-
fused to re-enter the employment of her former niis-
tTe.«iS, * because.' said tho'girX * you were alway.s kind
and gooil to me, and I cannot steal from you.' The

THE SUNDAYEXaSE UW.
EOW TBE CLOSING WAS ENFORCED.
THE ATTEMPT TO STOP 'THE SALE OF LIQUOR
TLSTEBDAT A COMPABATIVE FAILtTRB —
OUTWARD OBSERVANCE OP THE I^W IN
SO^ QUARTERS — ^ENTIRE DISREGARD OP
IT IN OTHERS — THH BEER GARDENS ON
THE EAST RIVEB CLOSED UP.
fho attempt of the Police to enforce the Ex-
ifsa law yesterday was exactly what every well-in-
formed person knew it would prore to be — a compara-
tive failure. Alone the whole lexurth of Tiiird-
wenne, from the City HtU to Harlem, at least three
jut of erery four liquor stores did the
isual Sunday business — through the side
ioor. of course. The outward observance
3f the law was strict enough— <very saloon hR\'ing its
front and many of them their side doors closed and
fastened, hut there was always some sort of passage-
w.iy to the bar within. In the vicinity of one of the
Police Courts, two large wine shops — one on each cor-
ner, and both witliin 100.! yards of the Court-
house— plied their trade unmolested. At one
>f them the bartender said that he had
;oId liquor to 15 diflferent policemen while
iuajticg the examination of their prisoners.
Most of the fashionable hotels and restaurants
?ither sold over the bar or in wine-rooms
Kljnining. Among the places reputed as not
M^llini; were the St. Nicholas, Grand Central,
L'liUm Place, Everett House, "Westminster,
the St. James, the Sturtevant House, the Grand,
nn.i the Buckingham, bat at many of these the de-
sired refreshments could be obtained with a little
6n€-.sse. At the Fifth-Avenue Hotel the bar was actual-
ly closed, nnd the bar-room deserted by all save the
ri2»r-5t;l'.er and his customers. At the GUsey House the
b.':r was also locked up. At the Hoffman House the
h>Ar-room was closed and the doors closed, but across
tho liall was an elegantly -furnished dining-room,
where patrons could take seats and or-
rirr what they wished. The Metropolitan,
the Coleman House, the Union-Square, and
the "Windsor all furnished the tabooed article «u6
rifff. At a wine-room on Broadway, near Madison-
f^uare. a dapper yriung man mounted guard at the
inner door with a key in his hand, locking and un-
lockiuEj the door as each customer arrived or de-
partc'l. The bar of -the Caf6 Smnswick was deserted
In favor of a cool and spacious tent in the rear
of the bouse. bordered with flowers and
exotic plants, inthenddst of which the guests quaffed
their ciarets and champagnes without molestation.
In Delroonico's wine-room, across the street, parties
of gentlemen sat at the little marble-topped tables
similarly employed, while policemen sauntered idly
np and down outsidei In the less aristo*
cratic neighborliood of Sixth-avenne, between
Twenty-third and Thirty-fourth streets, which, by
virtue of its nightly population, may well be termed
the ** Haymarket " of Kew-York, the case was differ-
ent- There, almost every comer grog-shop was
closed and darkened, while tho proprietors stood on
the pavement outside and cursed the Excise law and
the Police audibly. One place on Thlrtloth-
Ftreet, between Sixth and Seventh avenues,
did a good business under lock and key, the owner
explamtng to each customer that the trouble was
'■ all on account of a falling out between the Police
xnA the Excise Board."
At Gilmore'a Garden 1.500 people listened to
the music, while waiters nuhed about with
mmense schooners of beer, which were emp-
tied almost as fast as filled. In the re-
freshment-rooms long lines of glasses filled
with lemonade and other "temperance drink'" were
ranged along tho bar, but it was noticed that few
partook of them- A special policeman in a blue suit
and cap bearing the legend " G. C. G." explained to
ft Times reporter that no arrests had been made,
ind that "the Police weren't going to trouble
ihem much this year.'* At the Atlantic
i-Jarden in the Bowerj'. where 2,0O0 people were
gathered, the flow of lager was unceasing during
The whole evening. A similar state of affairs existed
ar the Paciflr Gardfm and other neighboring resorts,
while in every block for half a mile around at least
two or three saloons were doing business '*onthe
sly. " Beer was sold openly at Dramatic
Hall, within half a block of Police Head-quartem ;
In fact, it could be procured within tho shadow
af the Head-quarter* boUding itself. The
nerman pleasure gardens alozig the East

Washington Park, and others, were deserted
vesterrfay by all aavo a few women and children.
Their prnprietors say that the Police won't allow
them to sell beer at their Sunday concerts, and that
Ihe result is the people go down to Coney Island and
Rockaw.'iy. where they can enjoy their beer and
music without inlerfrtrftpce.

TffE LIQUOR TRAFFIC DENO^J^CED.
ADDRESSES BY MRS. SUSANNAH EVANS PECK
AND OTHERS BEFORE THE AMERICAN
TEMPERANCE UNION — THE EZCENT
STRIKES AND THE EVILS OP DRnTK.
A largely-attended meeting of the American
Temperance Union was held yesterday a£$&moon at
Cooper Institute. The eiarcises were begun by the
ainging of the stirring hymn. •* Yield Not tf Tempta--
tion." by the entire audience, standing. It was suc-
ceeded by Scripture reading and prayer fofr the suc-
cess of the temperance cause by R«v. Mr. Hutch-
ings, better known as "the lightning calculator."
Rev. Mr. Hayes was next introduced, and delivered a
brief, but witty address, in which he strongly favored
the delivery of temperance speeches by ladies, if they
felt themselves equal ; to the task. After a
few remarks by Hon. C. C. Lee, Mr. George S. Weeks
was introduiced, and sani; very effectivoly the tem-
perance song, '• Dare to Say No," which was greeted
with much a^laiise. i
Mrs. Susamiah Evans Peck next delirefed an elo-
qnent address on ithe theme "A Terrible Tempta-
tion,'' in which she reviewed the different ; phases of
the evil of liquor traffic. In the first place, she said,
liquor drinking causes men to spend their money and
waste their labor on a thing that profited them noth-
ing and satisfied them not. The coimtry had ju.'^t
passed through a violent convulsion. We had heard
of nothing but strikes, strikes, strikes, and had read
of nothing but the riot and munler and destruction
that had accompanied those strikes. And now that
the disturbance was mibsidlng, we found that, as the
strike had been widespread in its baleful effects,
so it had left behind it an undercurrent of
ever-increasmg miserv. Oh; how ,>she hated
tliat word ■; strike,^' How she longed to
plead with the working men nnd implore them never
to strike, for strikes were bad. both in their principle
and in their effect. T%Tanny was their leader, and
starvation was their result, and the voice that incited
working men to take part in them'was not. could not
be. that of a friend- The speaker did not wish to con-
vey the impression by these words that she iFas on
the side of capital as arrayed against labor ; on the
contrary, she both honored and respected every work-
inK man and woman in the land, and eveiy tie of
birth and trainiTicr united her closely to them. She
condemned snch strikes as had recently
spread ruin through the land ; but there
was one strike which she did believe in.
one strike that she deemed justifiable, and that she
would even nrse as beinc not onlv praiseworthy but
noble in its motivp. Mr.'*h of the strike, if not
caused directly by the .liquor traffic, might have been
prevented or diminLshed in its injurious eifecta, and
the poor men and women rendered better able to sur-
vive its terrible results, h.ad that money that had in
times eone by been expended In liquor been Invested
in more useful articles. Lot the workani? men,.
let all men "strike" acainst tho accursed
traffic ; let them crush "it out. and rou"*h.
nav, nearly all. of the causes of the miserv
and destitution in the land would be removct.
If the evil were something that concerned and af-
fected only the men who drank liquor, there might
be less to say about it. but it conr>erned and affect^nl
even more nearly the inntfcent wives and little chil-
dren of the drinkers. That which the drinker spent
In liquor was not morally his own. but belonged to
those beings to whom he was bound by every tie of
honor, duty, and manhood to support and 'cherish.
If men who entered a liquor saloon would but ask
themselves the questioji whether the money they
were about to pay for drink was rightfully due the
mmseller. or their wives and chUdren. wl^om thev
were bound to love and care^ for ; if, having
decided in favor of the latter, as thev must do if thev
had any manliness, they would strike against the
te'uptation of spending the money in drinR How
many wives and chiJdren mieht then be made onc«
more aa happy a.^ in the old da\-R before the husband
and father succumbed to temptation. At this point
the speaker related an affertimr storv of her own
»arlv experience in Wales. In conclusion, she urged
all those engaged in the " bodv and .soul destrojnng
traffic^' to leave it, and -'strikeout" Into s^me more
hocorahle and honest buMn'^ss, in which they miirUt
reasonably expect to receive the respect of their fel-
low-men.
Mrs. Peck had hardly concluded when Mr. J. B.
Gibbs. who ha<i remained unusually qtiiet during the
proceedings of tho meeting, broke out inanaoex-
pocted and atartlius irruption of rehemeni appeals
for the organization next week of a "great moral
reform partv." which should fru-strate-at t!he ballot-
box the wicked sehemes of tiie rumsellcrs to semre

RUSSIAX AND TVREJSE STJTCRERIE8.
The London Pall Mall Gazette ot July 26 says :
"There seems to bo a real apprehension that the
Standard of the Prophet may be unfurledi at Con-
stantinople, and It is seriously believed that the
measore will be followed hy wholesale massacres of
Christians. For ourselves, we have no knowledge of
the fact, and no opinion as to its consequencea. It is
reported, however, from more than one caj^tal that
the nentral powers are very anxious on the subject,
and propose to make protests and take prescantions.
There can he no doubt meanwhile that the tuost hor-
rible butcheries are going on on both sides. | And that
was foreseen long ago. \Vhat leaving the iRussians
and Turks ' to fight it out ' would come to was
always perfectly clear. The capacity of both for
butchery is well known. As for the Turks, they have
been taught that they artf to be exterminated ; they
are aware that it is thought right to exterminate
them because they are Turks ; and we should ask
ourselves which is the most probable result of what
to them mnst seera a conspiracy of the Christian
powers to get' the race massacred VI
LUCCA SUED FOB DAJFAGE.
The Taghlatt publishes a vehr curloiia anec^
dote of Pauline Lucca and the tenor SoxLatheiler,
who, in 1860, when she was neither knownmor rich,
lent her a diamond of great value, which {she woi|e
when she performed in "Semiramide," but fo|rgot to re-
turn to him. Sonntheiler was thert rich, and thought
but little of the jewel. He, however, aft-crward
asked La Lucca to restore the gem, and in reply was
informed by the diva that she had been robjbed of it.
At length Sonntheiler fell into such difficulties that
he'waa obliged to take legal proceedings against the
fair borrower, who. as sne could not prove the rob-
•bery alleged in her letters, was condenmed, two or,
three weeks' ago, to pay heavy damages to Sonn-'
theiler. i i

TWO
OLD RESIDENTS DEAD,
TWd OLD SOLDIERS OP TSE WAR OP 1812
BURIED — THE ANCIENT PAillLIES OP
BTATEN ISLAXD — ^DESCENDANTS OV THE
ORIGINAL DUTCH SETTLERS.
Yesterday afternoon two of the early settlers
and oldest residents of Staten Island were borne to
theirlast resting places, and borled where their an-
cestors-had been laid before them. They were bom
within a few months of each other, at homes which
were, only a few miles apart, died both on the same
day. and now lie within a ffew yards of each other In
the little i^Ioiravian Cemetery at Castleton Comers,
not far from Port Richmond. John 0- Garretson was
the name of one, Christopher Vroom of the other. On
Fridav of last week, at New-Dorp. Mr. Garretson —
Mr. Clute in his history of the Island spells it Gar-
rison—died at the age of 00 years and one month, in
ftill pos«e.ssion of all his faculties. He was for over
half a century a member of the Moravian Church at
New-Dorp, I and for several terms In sac-
cession represented the town of Sonthfleld as
Supervisor. I He was a soldier in the
war of 1812, and was all his days a fanner. Gar-
rctsop's forefVithers came frojn Holland in 165S, on
the ship Tlie Gilded Beaver. One of the ancestors of
the deceased was a member of the New-Tork Assem-
bly, and it was humorously said of him tliat he car-
ried more ! weight in that body than any
other member, for he turned the ^ scales at
300 pounds. Mr. Garretson lived at Garretson
Station. On the Staten Island Railroad, where he was
bom and froin which he has seldoms been absent.
The funeral services yesterday took place in the new
Xew-Dorp Moravian Alisslon Church at Castleton
Comers, There was a large attendance of friends,
neighbors and relatives of the deceased. Rev. Mr.
Volger officiated, and spoke at length upon Mr.
Garretson 's life and dwelt especially upon his
Christian character and example.
The same day that witnessed the demise of Garret-
son aLso saW the spirit pass from Christopher
Vroom. He died at Castleton Comers, surrounded
by his friends and relatives, at the age of 90 years
and .some months. He was bom where he died, and
passed his entire lifetime in that portion of the
Island. Puringthe war of 1812 he was a Lieutenant
in the Twenty-eighth New-York Cavalry. Vroom's
father emigrated from Holland in 1760, and
settled on Staten Island with the Moravians.
At 4 o'clock yesterday his remauis were
carried into the same mission church where
tho 'services' had been so recently held over .
Garretson. and the sermon was delivered by the same
flergj-man. The church was more than one-third
filled, by the children, grandchildren, great-grand-
cliildren. and great-great-grandchildren of the de-
ceased, nnd many people from all parts of the island
were present. The casket was handsomely df^corated
with flowers, amon^ which was a large pillow of white
roses, with an inscription in ivy leaves. The minis-
ter did not speak directly of 'Mr. Vroom. but dis-
coursed in general terms upon the uncertainty of life,
and the nnusual age of the deceased, and nrged atten-
tion to the clainvs of religion and the consolation it
aflforded both to. youth and old age. All of Mr.
Vroom's nnmeroua progeny live in the immediate
neighborhood of the " Comers." and some of his sons
are nambered among the well-known citizens of the
Inland. 0
TBE SICK CHILDREN
A SPECIAL REQUEST OP THE TRUSTEES OP
THE PLf>ATIXO HOSPITAL — WORK OP THE
CHILnBEN'S AID SOCIETY.
The sick cljiildren of the poor who have been
taken on bokrd the Floating Hospital of St.
John's Guild during the last month of excessive heat
number, with their mothers, 13,350. Tho pleasant
day's sail along the Hudson or upon the Bay 'and the
open sea has been to each of these little
ones what the motmtaln resorts and aeaaide
places are to the childreu of the rich.
The taothera and nurses have found abundance,
where at home often the day's labor and recourse to
the pawn shop would scarcely produce enough to
keep body and soul together. Scores of physirians.
standing well in Metronolttan practice, have at-
tended to the j sufferen* in the inclo.<ied ijck wards,
and have ore^nted every facility and cotafort in the
trealment of ^he most serious case.s. Hundreds of
infants owe to this most beneficial institution of the
City of charities their preservation from death. Their
mothers are Heartful of thanks. The work, though.
Is notj nearly pnded. Fnurt**en excursions have been
civeniand *j'0 tnore are needed. The Trustees of the
Floatmg Hosbital. however, report that they have at
lB,st ekiiauste*^ the funds donated, and they ask tliat
the general pm»Uc will fome to their felief. Those
who l^ave me.ins can liardly bestow them better than
in (riving life!, food, and pleasure to the thousands
of d*»ftitnte sick fhildrpn who ftnd all these gtfts at
the hands of the Oiiild on each day that its life-boat
sails. I I'nless funds are immediately provided the
excurjslons will have to be discontinued. All contri-
butions should be sent to William H. Guion, office of
the wnHain.*i & Goion Steamship Company. No. 29
Broad wav.
The volunteer visitors of the Children's Aid Soci-
ety have canvassed tho tenement quarters of the City
during the pa.it week in search of slrk and neclected
chiMrcn, and 173 new cases were found. Many des-
titute families were found holding prescriptions re-
ceived from certain physicians " p^tuitouslv, bnt
whicH were worthless on account of their infibUity to
procojre the medicine. These cases also were treated
oy the sorietv's physicians. Since the relief work
commenced this season medical attendance, medi-
cine, and nutritious diet have been f nmlshed gratuit-
onslylto 1.3r»^ children and 320 parents. Twelve
fihysitians are constantly employed In visiting the
irtle one*, and are doingmitch to reduce the infant
mortality of tlie City. The managers state that the
current expenses of the work are greatly in excess of
the Tflceipts. and unless additional funds are supplied
bv the friends of the sick children, they will be
obliged to reject many worthy applicant* for aid.
•DonAtions marked '"for Sick Children's Mission"
should be sept to Mr. "William A, Booth, No. 100

ciety, No. 19 East Fourth-street.

very business-like manner. Wlien the Judge has
only a few coses on the calendar of his court

The fonrth d^y's services In the encampment
cf the young people, under the auspices of the Young
Men's Christian i^issocntlons of the various States,
were held yeeterdf [y in the Pavilion at Ocean Grove,
Rev. Dr. E, S. Stokps presiding. Among the pfomlnent

i*arker. Rev. S. Bijowu, W. Peck Smith, VT. H. Fal-

sprvice opened by singing, " Jesxis shall reign,"
which was followed with prayer by Rev. Dr. Wood-
ruff, of New-York, nnd the reading of the Seventy-
first Psalm and a portion of the first chapter of the
Oollossians. Prof. i! Fischer, aided by Prof."^*illisford
Dey, then led a i volunteer choir, consisting of 100
ladies and gentlemen, in singing " I need Thee every
mour." President^ E. H. Stokes introduced Rev.
Andfew Longocre J of the Greene-Street Methodist
Episcopal Chnrcl^ Of Philadelphia, who took his text
from the fifteenth jchapter of St. John, and the last
two words of, tlie second verse, " More fruit."
He opened his address by calling attention to tho
wonderful picture that Christ mokes of himself in
this cliapter. He was the vine, and His followers its
branches. The test came to every true believer m
Christ with grieat ifwwer, " Every branch in me that
beareth not friiit lohsll be token away : and every
brauch that! beareth fruit He pnrgeth it.
that it mayi |i bring forth more fruit."
How many.; hej asked, were in the Church
that bear fruit. jAmong the younger people that
class was growing, and to these branches he spoke.
Tjhe text teaches thlat God is constantly laboring t^
make every worketl better, and to bring out of bis
life more than wos|«ver In it before. He was alwavs
getting them ready for more work. The
fruit that Chrisp wants is all the virtne.
grace, and gooditess of a Christian character.
The ftruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and right-
eousness and tmtn. There are no genuine conver-
sions but when the soul goes directly to work
for the Master. Good fruit is so good that it would
be silent, but you can't keep snch a life silent- Some-
''mes a few woriSs are powerful because of their
ire character-- What, he asked, bos been the pur-
se of God's, proHdence, os He led us through the
' stormy ; nolli of life ? Why He was
ng to have us bpar more fruit. We wonder why
llj is that certain good people ore terribly stricken
ith afflictions, and when we ask God why. He
answers. " More fttinit." It is a grand desire to want
to save a aonl. \yiien we think in this world that
vpible piety is potpnt, is it not mean to have jus*
enon^ religion to gave one's soul 7 If you have only
j^st enough religion

No more fruit ?" What
You must plunge in and
ach the very bottom to get to the

Ijam the Vine ; ye !are the branches. You don't have

a report
A TACHt \SVXK IX IHE SOZTXD,
There was a report In circulation in Green-
port on Thtirsday atftemoon and Friday that a large
schooner yacht haa|been sunk in the Sound off East
Marion, with all on board, and there was much con-
sequent excitement. .The vessel afterward proved
to be the schooner Samuel W. Meldon, of Xoank.
She was seen from the bluffs about midway between
Ekst Marion and Orient, beating down the Sound
against a very stroiiig south-east wind and rough sea,
i^d apparently lal:lbring heavily. As she turned to
tack to the north-wfest, her headway belne gone, tho
wind caught her and forced h§r over on her side, and
tlie men could be seen clambering np her side and
afterward in their boat. The schoouer lay in that
position for three-g barters of an hour, and then, hav-
ing swung arounoll so that the masts lay with the
wind, the sails w€(re lifted so that the air that had
buoyed her up escaped from the bilge, and she sank
immediately. It woa at first supposed that the men.
having kept their boat under the lee of the vessel for
8 Ifety from the hliph sea, had been carried down by -
tbe suction, but It was subsequently ascertained that
tliey were picked ^p by the schooner Q. A. Bently
and taken intd Kew-London.

ai d Little Neck, had made complaint that they had
gl pen the money foir their licenses to Mr. Poole, as
w sll as the necessary papers, requesting him to see
tlat their licenses'|were granted, but that they had
received no licenses^ and when they applied to the
b< ard were informed thc.t the Treasurer hod never

THE CINCINNATI FIRE.
HOW SIX LIVES "WERE L06T— HEROISM OP
TWO OF THE BOYISH VICTIMS.
In its account of the burning of the cigftivbox
factory in Cincinnati, on FridJay morning last, the
Gazette of that city says :
■ ' It was a cigar-box factory on a large scale — a
five-story brick building on Broadway, above Eighth-
avenue, standing back from the street a distance of
40 feet. The lower story was used as a saw-milL
The yard in front and at the side was piled full of
saw-logs. The timber was thus taken in the
rough, sawod into boards, and . then into
the thin slips from which cigar-boxes are
made. Of course the different stories of such a place
wotdd be full of diy combustible material — a verita-
ble powder-honse, almost, when exposed to fire.
3Ioreover, it was pro\ided with a hoist, a sort of ele-
vator, running from the basement to the top storj*. and
fonnlng a most excellent conductor for flames from
the bottom to the top of the building. Be-
sides this, it had a flume le-iding from the
working rooms to the engine floor, through which the
shavings, sawdust, and all waste bits of diy material
could be shot down, ready for the furnace fire. Still
further to complete its adaptation to its final use. it
had a single narrow stairway without casing, which
formed the. only fire escape. Here was the death
trap in which onlv sLs victims were caught, for the
reason that the otliers had not yet gone to work.
The factory belonged to George Pelstring & Co. It
stands almost directlv across the street from thp pic-
ture frame factory of J. & A. J. Nurre. The Nurres
are said to be the company of this Srm. Their f/ic-.
tory is closed now from the last fire, which tO"k out
its inner works. A few minutes before 7 o'cjock,
the engineer and his son had light*^d the fires and
bad gone out of the engine-room to attend to some
other duty. It was not far from the furnace
door to the shavings -room, where the shavings,
sawdust. and bits of wood sent dowm
from the upper stories were slorfd. It is the opinion
of the engineer thot a spark fiom the jumace flow
into this cftmbustible pile, and it mi^hr almost as
well have fallen into so mnch gunjtowder. Verj-
shortly thereafter they discovered the jlre. and they
think that in less than three minutes the wh^te
building was in flames. It was like an immenw tin-
dor bos. Small time indeed fvir the escape of tho
frightened girls in the fourth storj*. with that great
furnace of fire between them and the safe e;trth.
So thoroughly ha-S the death-trap been planned tiuit
its fearful work was accomplished before the firemen
could give assistance. More helpless still were the
horrified citizens, who ran to the place. There w;i£
no escape. Within three minutes after the fire be-
gan portions of the walls had slipped in.
It was not yet 7 o'clock, and was not quite
time to begin work. Th*^re were ifive girls in the
fourth story — Minnie Koebbe. Kate Poctker. Marj-
Xnrre, .Tosephine Bey. and Anna Pimd. In the third
story, below them, were five or six bovs and young
men rffldy to begin work. As the fire "^hot up the
elevaior.one of these ho\-s. Heary Ma,*ig. ran up to the
jrirrs story and shouted to Imrrj- do'n^. a.i the buiM-
ing was ' on fir*-. This fearful -message came
to the ears of the girls. who knew too
well the value of the scanty clothing 'they are able to
get. and their first thought was to save their clothing.
yhey are in the habit of taking off their street -drest^es
when they go to work, and hanging thera up. Maac
came a second time. 'at the cost of his own life, and
tuld the girls for God,*s sake to hurry down. Two
nf the five girls, who were qoi-jker than their com-
p■^mon-';. started screaming down the narrow stair-
way. Young Maag. more anions for the safety of
the fflrls than carefnl of his own life, remaine^^i
till he bad got the girls staned down stairs. . It was
too late for him to escape. Foremost was Kate Poet-
ker. close behind her carae Anna Pand. Katie and
Anna nished wildly down, meeting volumes of hot
smoke, which might have frightened less resolni*'
S'ris. At ihe top nf the la-^t flic:ht of stairs their
ngs and eves were so filled ivith smoke, and tho air
was so hot from the flames, that the foremoRt one al-
most lost her conscionsnf s.<l She was closely pres.*;ed
by Anna Pund, who. in her fright. ca31ed out to ■ go
on ! CO on ! ■ On the la.*it staincay both girls met the
fl.-imes and fell helpless to the floor. Here timely
h'-lp came to them, and they were hastily carried oat
to a place of safety. Both "were severely bumei on
the right hand an'd arm. probably from the burning
riiilinc. and al.<:o about the face, from the sheer heat
of the stairway. Portunately their clothing did not
igr.ite.
*■ WT.at became of the other girls ? This can only b<»
answered by the testimony of those who were about
the building. The two girls who esv'aped were wholly
Tinnble to tell anj-tbing about them, except thar they
thought th-^y were coming down stairs. In thi,«i
ff-arfnl moment, while tbfl flames were roaring and
the liirht mr.t^^riaJ was feeding its fUrj- at a deathly
rate, these flame- imprisoned girl? were »ecn at the
windows on the side where the stairway was. shriek-
ing most piieously for help. Below them was a shed,
upon which, if they had dared, they might h.ive
jumped at the risk of broken limbs. But th"ey were
paraJvAed by fear, or were so overcome liy the heat
and smoke as to be unable to m«ke an effort to sav^ ■.
themselves. The helpless people below who saw
thenv at the window grew sick at heart as the last
hope fled, and the poor girls fell out of si^ht forever
in the ruins. The wildest eit-itement prevailed in
the crowd. It was not then known hnw many people
were in the bailditig. and the phocking rumor ran
from mouth to mouth that a hundred employes were
consumed.
"But there were others in the bnildicg who lost
their lives — ^Frank Studier. John Claosenbare. and
Henry Maag. How they died 'cannoT he. told, only
there'is a story of heroism ronnecred with one of
them, perhaps with all. showing that they c/uild
have «;aved themselves if they liad not vainly tried to
save others. Henry Maag. as alread^v staled, lost his
life while waiting to warn the girls of
their danger. He was strong, courageous, and
''onfident of his sbility tn : save him»^elf.
Claiizenberg had been down stairs, but thinking he
could help save the girls he mshed up. only to 'find
him.'self in a fierj furnace. , In despair, be dashed
Ihroiigh a third-story window, bis clothing and hair
all al'Iaze, and jumped to the grodd. He was taken
to the hospital, where he died in a few
hours, not having recovered hi.i consciousness-
Frank .Studier. one of tbe best -boys about
the establishment, it is said had actually re-iohcl the
ground in safety, and bad assisted in helping out the
two girls who fell helple.ss at the bottom of the .nair-
way. and then, in >plte of the remonstrances of
friends, he dashed into the burning building to get
the others who were not able to escape. The poor
fellow was rauzbt by the fury of the Games, and was
unable either to give assistance to oiiiers or to save
himself." '
MR. STAPLETOXAXD HIS MOTBER-INLAW.
The Indianapolis Journal of Thursd.ay relates
the following; " There was an exciting time at the
house of Mr. Stapleton, in the north-eastern part of
the city, last night. Shortly after the family had re-
tired strange noises were heard in the kitchen, and
Mr. Stapleton's mother-in-law was oonfldent there
was a burglar there. An investigation having been
decided upon, Mr. S. armed himself w^.lh a heavy
silver-headed cane, which he carries on Sundays and
holidays, and having provided his moth^T-in-law with
a lighted candle, told her to lead on. He put her in
front, OS he said, so that the whole room might be
iliuminated when he rushed in. and be could see ex-
actly where to strike. He told his mother-in-law if
any'pistol-shootiBg occurred she must hold the light
directlyinfrontof her. soastodazzle the bm^lar's
eyes and prevent his aim, bat on no , account to get
behind him. (Mr. S..) as he would bo^almost sure to
hurt her while swinging his cane. Tie good woman
obeyed instructions implicitly. WTie^ they deployed
into the kitchen, a racket was heard ui the comer as
of a falling dish or pan, and then a large cat
dashed madly against a sheet which was h'^ngiug in
the room to cLrj\ Staplet on, greatly eicted and
thinking the time for action hod come, swung his
cane over his head and made a deadly blow at the
sheet. "Unfortunately it was misdirected and struck
his mother-in-law on the side of ^er neck. She
dropped the candle and set up a scraam. In the
■ darkness which ensued Mr. Stapleton struck wildly
about, hitting the sheet ocasionoily. ■ but his moth-
er-in-law much oftener, she meanwhile kicking the
floor with her heels and screaming artbe top of her
voice. She wotild probably havo been kiflcd, had
not Mrs. Stapleton come rushing into the room with
a light, which disclosed the true situajtion. Mr- Sta-
pleton immediately conunenced looIdi;g for the dead
burglar, and was only recalled to a sense of filial
duty by the excited eiclam-ations of his wife. On
esuunination his mother-in-law was found not to bt*
seriouf-ly wormded. though she will' be confined to
her bed for several davs. Mr. Stapleton thinks tie
burglar got. in throii^jh tho cellar ivind-jw. which
opens on the north side of the house into an alley."

THE CZAR IX BULGARIA.

writing under date the 24th of June; (July G> from

TBB OLOSED MILL AT RQPKYILLt.
The Springfield, (Mass. ) B^v&Uoan. of Fridaiy
says: "The recent closing of the New-E&cland '
woolen-mills at Rockvilla, Ooan.. throwing obont
140 hands out of employment, is the flxot direct
hlowthe town has received bf the long*pi«vaiUn$
business panic The mill is not yet in bankruptcy,
hat has ceased running, and creditors hava placed
attachments on every disoeruiblo scrap of property.
The mill bos been run verv liberally, not to say ex-
travaganfly. during the lost few yoars, and is now
ecjupped with enurely new machinery throughout.
To meet these extraordinary expenses and probohla
deficits in the current bu-siness. loans were obtAined
from Thomas & Co., a Xew-York dry goods and com-
mission firm of longstanding and(exoollfrnt reputa-
tion. This firm, however, suocnm^ed to the inevit-
table last wwefc, and has pone into bankruptcy wiQ]
liabUities <?f $450,000. and a.<;set« nominally of tho
same amount, that ore thought likiely to be good for 50
cents on the dollar. Among these assets is a claim ol
$180,000 against the New-England mills, to secura
which the assignee attempted to attach all the
property, but. the process being hastily served, W.
])- iiobbs & Co.. of Boston, havo found a resting
place for an attachment to cover a claim of $12.005
for wool. This firm had also recently sold 20,000
pounds of wool, but it had not been worked up and
18 now toeing taken back to Boston. As the mit had
a weekly pay-day, the help are only a fortnight bac^
in their waces. 'The other claims' acoinst the mill
are of $25,000 by the Norwich Sa^-injcs Bank. ■»

b.^nks of SfiO.OOO to $70.O0O for money advanced ot
Thomas & Co, 's acceptances. To meet these tJaims
of alwut $180,000. the mill property will hardly sel

years. . This amount is estimated by ontslde partiet
at from $75.000 to $200,000. while one expert

A STIGMA OX AMERICAN HOXESTT. j
A writer in the London World of Jaly25
says : , *• Every tradesman has a right to choose faia
own customers, but he ought to do it withon* mak-
ing himself needlessly offensive. American ^4Ktort
to Liondon are justly incensed at a painted eicn which
has been placed in an Ulster coat-maker's window, in
Conduit-stroet. announcing that no orders will bo zft.
ceived from Americjms without a deposit. If it had
said * strangers' or * foreigners' no one wouM hav«
bod a right to complain ; but to east a stigma on the
honcstv of Americans alone is an in.«ult "which
naturally provokes great ill-feeling. Many remon-
strances have been addres-sed to Mr- Benjaminxm the
subject, someofthemrstberpointed in their choa-acter.
At the same time, I beg to bring to the koowiedn
of JDy American friends the fac^ that it is the fa^t
of their own conntrymen that their commercial good
name is sometimes brought into disrepute. A well
known furniture-maker of Oxford-street bos a mos|
e-pensive bedroom suit in his show-rooms, which
was specially ordered some time ago by an American,
who has never siu'-e been beard of. I ha^'O a friend
who suiFered to a still greater eitt^nt. An American
li\'ing^n one of the historic houses in. Newc-Vork-
State^lled upon him and borrowed X4.00Oin hard
money, and has never returned a shilling nor au<
swereA a single application which has been addressed
to him for the money. American gentlemen will
eaMIy understand the effect which such tr^iaactionf
as these inevitably produce."

London, Aug. 6. — The snecesses of the
Turks have upset the calculatiocs of Prince
Bismarck, who i» now actively engaged in in-
trieuing with Russia and Austria, in the expec-
tation of infinenceing the latter to consent to the
passage of Bnssian reinforcements through Ser-
vian territory to a position of advantage on the
Tojkish left Sank. Austria wavers in the pres-
ence of the nncertainty of action on the part
■ of the British Government, whUe the latter
is evidently anxious to let the -Turks flght it
out, their successes having much relieved the
emharrassment of the Ministry. England,
much as she desires' to maintain her
neutrajity, could hardly silently permit an
active combination of the three Emperors to
rob Turkey of the results of her victories. The
politioai situation at this moment is as critical
as it is interesting. England is as uncertain as
over. Russia is appealing to Germany, and the
situation is therefore almost wholly under the
control of Austria, who in tnm fears to be
firm.
While the Turks are massed on the Bussian
frontier in Asia, the Russians are falling back
in disorder in Europe before the victorious Ot-
tomans. Another battle has been fought south
jf the Balkans, by which Suleiman Pasha has
recaptured Kasanlik, at the southern
mouth of the Schipka Pasi>, with all
its guns and material, driving Gen. Gourkho
pell-mell, across the mountains. This is the
chief incident since the battle of Plevna. Turk-
ish divisions from Plevna and Loftscha now oc-
cupy Selvi, and the Russians are melting away
before the Tturkish troops.
The Turkish Generals continue to report
Russian massacres of Mohammedans, while the
Russians report Turkish massacres of Chris-
tians. Both reports are, no doubt, true. There
is every evidence that this is the most barbarous
war since the Dark Ages. To-day the special cor-
respondent of The Xew-Tobk Tdies at Shomla
»legraphs as follows :
" Railroad communication has been fully re-
established. When the Turks recaptured Es-
ki-Saghra. it was learned that while the Russians
bad possession of the place, the Turkish male
inhabitant-s were called before a tribunal largely
»mposed of Bulgarians, under a pretense that
:hey should be registered, and were then sys-
wmatically and ruthlessly massacred. These
oasurgent Bulgarians, of course, on the return
of the Turks fied to the Balkans, after firing
the villages here and about Vama and Rasgrad.
" Meheipet All's appointment has infused a
new spirit of activity everywhere, and another
great battle is expected."
The special correspondent of Thz New- York
Times, writing from Simnitza under date of
July 30, on the eve of the great battle
at Plevna, says : "The result must decide the
fate^ of the present campaign. The Russian
troojpscan no more be compared to the Germans
than the greasy warriors of King John of
Abyssinia to the French. Strategically and
tactically, every conception of the Russian Gen-
erals is faulty, and their execution is defective.
An army of 300,000 soldiers crossed the Pruth.
and there are 240.000 of their men, according
to the Russian accounts, on Turkish soil, and
with what result I This splendid army has
moved along eccentric and divergent lines,
where each step forward removed each frae-
tion further from its base and from the
possibility of muttial support. Another defeat
will render the present positions untenable.
With no organized commissariat, no money, and
no General capable of commanding a brigade, I
prophesied that if 150,000 Russians reached,
the second line of the Turkish defense, not
many of them would ever get back to the
Danabo. My predictions were founded on my
knowledge of the country and of the quality of
the Turkish soldiers."

TEE CALL FOR TROOPS IN INDIANA.
GOV. WILLIAMS' PRACTICE AND HIS PRlSCI-
PLES AT VARIANCE — THE DENOUNCER
OP THE USE OP FEDERAL TROOPS IN
A STATE CALLS FOR THEM BEFORE EX-
HAUSTING THE STATE RESOURCES JN
THE LATE STRIKE — THE BUNGLING CALL.
Spetiat DUpatOi to the Xnir-Tort Tbnn.
Washington, Aug. 6. — Among the mem-
bers of the last Congress who violently de-
nounced the use of Federal troops in quelling
disturbances in the Southern States was James
D. Williams, now Governor of Indiana. Even
when the call was I made upon the P*resident,
according to the prescribed constitutional forms,
Mr. Williams held such use of the Federal
power to b(i unjustifiable usurpation. Before
calling for the use of Federal aid the
Governor of a State making the call is required
to exhaust all his power in quelling the \'iolence,
and his call npon the President mu.st state this
fact. In addition, he must state that he cannot
convene the Legislature in time to deal with
the insurrection, and acknowledge that he has
not sufficient force at his command to put down
lawlessness and maintain the peace. During
the recent railroad troubles Gov. Williams found
himself unable to cope -with the rioters, and for-
getting, in his gr^at trepidation and evident
imbecility, his denunciations of the use of
I Federal troops in tlie domestic broils of a State,
anade thi following appeal for Federal aid :
Indianapolis, July 26.
To the Prttidint, Waihington, D. C:
In viowl of (the threatened domestic -riolenco grow,
ing out of the railroad strike. I request that authority
be at once given to the Commandant of the .\rpena!
to render me all aid possible in preserving the public
peace.
JAMES D. WILLIAMS. Governor of Indiana.
It will*be noticed that Gov. Williams in this
appeal pays no attention to the legal forms re-
quired in such an emergency, and requests the
President to send hun Federal troops in a man-
ner which would indicate that he has
abandoned his former theories upon this
question, and thAt he now believes the
President can order Federal troops to quell vio-
lence in any State without lejal restrictions and
npon the mere request of a Governor. There is
a wide difference between Democratic theory
and practice npon this questionjariicularly as
illustrated in the cases of Gov. Williams, of In-
diana, and Gov. Matthews, of West Virginia^
during the railroad troubles. Secretary JIc-
Crary, to whom Gov. Williams' appeal was re-
ferred by the President, repUed as follows :
Washinotox. D. C, July 26.
James D. Williams^ Goremor nf Indiana:
In the absence of a formal coll upon the President

speech three times in a campaign in Pennsylva-
nia. He siates he has taken active part in
1,3 campiaigns, Stats and national, since I8,'56,
spending in time an average of six or seven
weeks ; , that in the most of these con-
tests he I paid, the bulk of his
expenses oiit of his own pocket, many times
when he could ill I afford it, and to the utter
neglect of his private affairs. That at such
times he was compelled to decline political work
unless his incidentjal expenses were paid, and
that his expenses paid by himself greatly ex-
exceeded his compensation from any and all
quarters. In a word, he pronounces the story
about his putting thousands of dollars in his
pocket grossly false in fact and conclusion.

From Our Special Corretpondent.
Cleveland, Ohio, Friday, Aug. 3, 1877.
As was to have been expected, the Demo-
crats of Ohio are not satisfied with the platform
which was- adopted by their political opponents
in this city on Wednesday last Headed by
that distinguished citizen, Mr. John G. Thomp-
son, Sergeant-at-Arms of the last national
House of Representatives, and Chairman
of their Central Committee, they declare that
the Republicans have acted with cowardice re-
garding the financial question, that their labor
plank is a piece of arrant demagogism, and
that their indorsement of the National Admin-
istration was distasteful to more than one-half
of the delegates in the convention. This is
about the sum total of the fault which Mr.
Thompson and his friends have up to this time
been able to find with the action of their old
enemies. While they make these charges
in public, however, they admit privately
that the Republican platform is, all things con-
sidered, an exceedingly strong one ; and there
is no doubt that in the end they will abandon
their present attitude, cease making the wild
charges referred to, ape their fellow-Democrats
in the State of New- York, and flght the cam-
paign upon the theory that President Hayes
was fraudulently inauguratod,and that the Amer-
ican people cannot afford to stand idly by and see
"fraud first triumphant in American politics."
While this is their programme, however, while
from every cross-road stump in Ohio they are
prating about political corruption and tho
purity of the ballot, they have, at the same
time, the hardihood to indorse the following
resolution, which was adopted in their plat-
form at the Columbu.% Convention :
''Seventh — The R3pistr7 law, framed by the last
Li^gislature, is bnrueosome and expensive, and dis.
crimuiates unjustly against the poorer class of vot-
ers, and wo, therefore, demand its repeal."
The Democrats of the country have never
been noted for a desire to maintain the purity
of the ballotrboi. Where they could not suc-
ceed fairly, they were always willing to purchase
victory by dishonorable means. In the South,
by the perpetration of cruelties the most inhu-
man and outrages without a name, they have
..succeeded only too well in overcoming RepuV
lican majoritieii. In the North, they have won
by fraud when violence was of no avail.
Privately, in both the North and the South,
the disreputable leaders of the Democracy have
not been backward in boasting of the elec-
tioneering crimes which they instigated or com-
mitted. The Democrats of Ohio have now
gone one stop further than their brethren
in any other part of the Union, and publicly, in
a platform upon which they profess their wil-
lingness to stand or fall, they boldly 'demand
the repeal of a law which was advocated by
every good citizen of the State, and which was
passed, not for the benefit of any one party, but
for the protection of every honest voter
in the Commonwealth. How Iniquitous is
their demand, how unparalleled their
audacity, will bo better understood after.
1 have bri -fly explained the provisions
of tho Registry law and the necessity that existed
for its passage. In 1875 notorious frauds were
committed at the Spring election in the City of
Cincinnati. Ballot-boxes were stuiled in the
interest of the Democracy - as unblushingly as
they were in New- York under the rule of Tweed.
The will of the people was subverted and a dis-
reputable minority, by the perpetration of
shameless frauds, established itself in power.
-igain, at the last October election, a
gang of repeaters, supposed, with good
reason, to bo in the pay of Samuol
.1. Tilden, obeyed to the letter one of the old-
est traditions of the Democratic Party, and
voted '* early and often'* in Cincinnati, Cleve-
land, and all the other large cities and towns in
Ohio. These frauds were notoriou.s, committed
without fear of the law, for there was no
State law in existence which adequately pro-
vided for their punishment. It is estimated
that in ffimilton County alone at least 3,000
fraudulent votes were cast by the gangs of or-
ganized repeaters referred to. I am assured, in-
deed, that this estimate Is an exceedingly low
one. ■ In view of these facts the Republican
Legislature at its last session passed the Regis-
try law for tho repeal of which Democratic
partisans are now so clamorous. I may state
further that the law, as it exists, is an exceed-
ingly jnst and Impartial one, and discrimtnatet,
against no class of the people and against no
political organization.
In its first section the act defines the qnalifl-
feations of voter.H in Ohio, and does not diifor
materiaUy from srtatutes on the same subject
which have preceded it. It provides that the
voter must have been a resident of the
State for one year, of the county
360 days, and of the township, village, or ward
350 days next preceding an election. If, how-
ever, a bona fide resident of a county, who hat',
actually been an inhabitant of that county 30
days prior to an election, shall appear before the
Registers of the precinct in which he expects to
vote, and shall give proof of having lived in
the State tho prescribed time, of his former
residence, and of his recent removal,
he shall still be lentitled to vote. Surely
this provision ought to be liberal enough even
for '* Democratic refomjers." The object of its
enactment is obvious. In all large towns and
cities there is a considerable floating vote. At
every election hundreds of persons appear at
the voting x>laces and claim to bo qualified
electors, though their names even are not
known to the designated canvassers. Usually
they appear under the protection of some influ-
ential ward politician, and simply because there
is nothing known about them, they are allowed
to pass unchallenged and their votes are re-
corded. The law is Intended to protect tho
rights of this floating population, and at tho
same time prevent repeaters from obtaining
privileges to which only honest men are enti-
tled. The other Important sections of the law
against which the Democrats complain so bit*
terly are' as follows :
Section 2. Trustees of townships, and the council
of dties and \'illages forming one or more precincts,
shall, on the fourth Monday next preceding the gen.

Bhlp. city, or village, who shail be Eli

for one year, and shall take an oath or affirmation to
discharge their duties according to law. If, for anv
cause, a Register or Registers shall not be appointen,
or, if appointed, shall be unable, for any caose, b>
discharge tho duties heretn enjoined, or shall refnse to
drtcharse the datiee of sneh office, it shall lie the duty
of the Clerk of the proper township, or Mayor of the
proper city or Tillage, (as the case may bo,)to fill all
such vacancies by appointment, and the person or
persons so appointea shall be electors of the proper
election precmct, and shall hold their office during
the Gontmoanee of snch cause, and shall take an oaw
or afflnoation to dlsehaxige the dntiea of such appoint-
ment secoidisg to law.

B^st<rs of the proper election precinct wherein he
expects to vote, at the time and place designated for
the registration of voters, and make and subscribe
a statement, in a hook to he provided at the expense
of the proper township, city or vilLme, for the pur-
pose, and kept by the Registers open at all times to
public inspection and examhiation, which statement
shall contain the name of the last preceding place of
residence of such person, tlie voting precinct or ward
in whicli he expects to vote, and tlio place of his resi-
dence therein, the date of lus removal thereto, his
age, and whether married or unmarried, and shall be
subscribed by such person.
Such statements shall he dated and numbered
consecutively, beginning with number one of each
year.
And the Eegi'jters shiiU make, over thetr own
8 ^natures, and deliver to every person so registered
irtffore them, a corresjpondintr statement, witii a like
numlier and date, which sxivh person shall present to
the Judpes of Election wh'i'n lie offers to vote. No
person sliall register at ai^- other time or place than
a£ above designated.
Section 6 provides ponalties for the riolatioii
of the law, and section 7 requires the Registers
to make out an alphabetical list of all persona
registered as residing in their voting precinct.
A copy of the list is to be given to the Judges of
Election before the im)11s are open, and
as the registered voters present themselves their
names shall be checked off. The section provides
further that these lists shall in »U cases be
preserved for future reference. This is the
sum and substance of the law. Surely it is
not one to which any honest citizen desiring to
preserve the purity of the ballot-box should
object. It cannct be denied that some of the
minor provisions of tho enactment, which in-
crease the number of the votingprecincts, Judges,
and other officers, will slightly add to th© ex-
pense of the elections. This expeifse, how-
ever, win not be burdensome, and it falls
equally on all classes and all parties. Every
man who desires to vote is required to register,
and, of course, no well-me.ining citizen will ob-
ject to doing so. What the Democratic plat-
form means, then, by declaring Uiat the law
discriminates unjustly against the poor, must
forever I emain a mystery. In plain words, it
can onl}' be inferred that the Democrats of
■Ohio object to the Recristry law because they
believe it will preserve the purity of the ballot
and secure a fair election. If its provisions are
strictly enforced, repeating and other like
frauds will be almost impossible. The occupa-
tion of some of the most prominent politicians
in this State will be ;;ono. If the truth were
known, this is the only reason why the sages in
the Columbus Convention demanded the repeal
of the law. H. C.
LABOR AXD POLITICS.
A SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT IN BALTIMORE —
WORKING MEN URGEI) TO FORM A POLITI-
CAL PARTY OF THEIR OWN— THE WILD
SPEECH OF A COMMUNIST LEADER,
Special Dispatch to Vu Xeie- York THmes.
Baltimore. Md., Aug. 6. — The great hall
and galleries of the 3Iaryland Institute were
packed this evening witli 6.000 people, brought
together by a call from the Working M^n's
Party of the United States. The cjaswl was
principally made up of laborers, and was tumult-
uous, but good humort'd until it broke out in
storms of execration over the mention of the
names of the railroad Presiiients. The throng
cheered to the echo the rnbidtalkof the speakers
and the radical features of the platform.
-The orator of the evening was a young Irish-
man from New- York named J. P. McDonnell,
editor of , the Xa?wr Standard, whose most vio-
lent utterances were loudest applauded. His
declaration that tli§ strikers had been driven to
burning depots and destroying railroad prop-
erty by the unendurable tyranny of capital, and
that they might have been better off now if
they had done the same thing before, set the
audience off into a whirlwind of applause.
Their justification for the de.struction of prop-
erty, he .said, was th.at "riece.ssity knows no law,"
and the men did it in their hunger anddespairto
show their hatred of tyranny and prove of
what they are capable. The mention of the
names of Scott and (iarrett was greeted with
terrific yells and shouts ol" •* Hang 3iem." The
workiwg men were ur^rod to act together in
Solitics, to come out from Republicans and
lemocrats, both of whom were oppressing
thc-m. and nominate and elect their own men to
ofiice. If they did ihi-* they eould overcome
their oppressors and i-nforce a new regime. As
for the soldiers. tin- speaker said that,
if necessar}-, the working men could or-
f^nize regiments to .-^weep out of existence
those who would dare lo lire upon them. The
whole tone of the speech was'fanatical and vio-
lent. The platform thut was read afterward is
that of the Intecnatxonal Sf>ciety, with some at
terations to meet the political exigencies
of the present. Its lf:iding plank is tliat all
railroads and canals;, t^lej^ruphs and labor mar
chinerj' shail be common property of the peo-
ple, to be operated by Ittbor-unions, under the
protection of the National Government ; that
the wages system sh;xll be abolished and
labor have an equal share in the earn-
ings of capital, untl that labor bureaus
shall be formed by St^tt<> and National Govern
ments. A call was math- for a committee of five
from each ward to meet at head-<iuarters Mon-
day next and prepare for the entry of the Work-
ing Men's Party into thu local political field.
The movement i.s exciting intense interest on
account of the enthusiasm that has marked its
birth. There aro thrte or four sections of the
Internationalists. They will form the nucleuf
of the new party. After the meeting to-
night nine-tenths of the crowd came forward
and signed their names as members. Presi-
dent Gorman, of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal bad, another interview with Gov. Carrol!
to-day, and at Mr. Gorman's reqoest- the Gov-
ernor decided to postixtne action toward break-
ing the canal blockade by force. • Mr. Gorman
is now of the opinion that he can induce the
boatmen to .quietly disperse of their own ac-
cord ; and as iL is desind not to provoke a col-
lision, except in tho last e.vtremity, he wants Co
try the effect of moral suasion a few days more.

Utica, N. Y., Aui:. 0. — The lai^jest crowA
ever assembled in Cejitral New- York, gathered
on the Oriskany battle-field t<Hday, to parti-
cipate in the celebration of the one hundredth an-
niversary of that event. The estimates of thci
number of people vary from 40,000 to 60,000.i
They came by carriages, by packets, and canalf
boats, and by special trains which ran back anc|
forth on the Central Railroad every few minute:'
from Rome and Utica. Tho nearest approach U
such a crowd ever -seeii in this vicinity was Ie,
1844, when a Polk mass-meeting was held oiii
Orisk&ny Battle-ground. which attracted
20,000 people. The military display to-day
was magnificent. The procession was nearly
two miles long, reaching from the Oriskany
>'illag© to the battle-ground. It was admirably
managed by Grand Marshal A. J. Wagner, o£
Montgomery County, five of whose ancestor*
participated in the battle. The military dhsplay
embraced all the organizations of this section^
including Major-Oen. D. P. Wood and staffs
Sixth Division National Guard, Brig.-G«n.
Dering and staff, Twenty-first Brigade, all tha
separate cavalry and infantry companies, and
15 po^ts of the Grand Army of the Repnblia
as veterans. Twenty-four bands were in th« ^
procession, and upon arrival at the ground*
they all united in playing *' America." Tlie
time was not admirable,* but the effect, upoc
the whble, was magnificent. The President ol
the day was ex-Gov. Horatio Seymotir, who d»<
livered the following address of welcome from \
a grand stand overlooking the multitude, and
erected up<m th© spot where the wounded Gen.
Herkimer .sat upon his saadl,e smoking his pipe
and directing the battle :
MR. SEVMOVR'S address.
All who are for the clory of our country : aU wl!i4
love to study the history of the events which hav^
shaped our cjvili7.ation,' Government, and lawj ; all
who seek to lift up the virtues of our peoj^e by fill-
ing their minds with lofty standards of patriotism, will
rejoice that we meet here to^iay on this battle-field rd
honor the couraice and devotion diplayed here 100
years ago. The sa^rred duty in which we are engage<i
Soes not meivly concern the meaiories of the dead ; it
teaches the duties and elevates the character of th€
li\-in}r. The command that we honor our fathers i*
not only a Klorions reqnirfment, but it is a grava
maxim of jurLipruiioure. Those who think and spealc
of virtue and patriotism sow in their own and in the
minds of iithers the e«'^e<iB of virtue and patriotism.
The men of Mohawk will be wi^er and better for this
gathering uTwn the spot where their fathers fouphtt
and sutTered and bled to uphold the cause of thia
countrv. The preparation for this «-elebratiou of ;h*»
evfuts'of the day, the farts woich-will be broogbt l»
light and the duties which will be taught, will,. *-
in some degree, lell upon the character ofj
e%er%' man iKiore me. They will do more. Theyi '
will revive tho legends of the past in everj' household^
in this vallov. They will give tbem currencj- among
all classes, and weave theni into the woof and warp
of popular knowledge. Much that was dying ouo
will be revivpd and stamped upon the memories of:
the coming ironemtion. This celebration makes oup
hills and streams tea4d»ers. of virtue. It gives new.
interest to tlie course of our river and onr valley, for
henctiforth they will recall t<» our minds more clearly
the events of the past. Kverj' spot noted for soma
stirring act will henreforth, as we pas* it by,
remind us of the deeds of onr fathers. Tha
old churciie* and homes, built when Briiain ruled
our countTj', and which were marred by war whea
the VaUey* was desolated by torch and tohahawk,
will grow more sacred in our eyes. Tlieir. time-wonj
walls will teach ns. in their silent way. to think
of suffering, of bloodshed, of ruthless ravages

dured elsewhere during the Revolutionary struj^

our people. Views are distorted by local prejudicfv»,t
Events are not seen in their due proportions or witlv ,
proper ptrsitectives. This is mMuly due to the ue-'

in the popular vision abont this great, centre, Ronren,*
and tliefttre oi i-venta which have .«dinped the civiliza-! ,

in a way that shntl stir oar hearts and educate onri
minds. l»tt it not be done by virtue of an act of thaJ
Legislature, but by virtue of onr oivn efforts and^
patriotism. Let ub not look elsewhere for aid wh^^ .
we would, honor the memories of those who hx^.'e
served their countrv. In my mind this would
l.e BR unf.t as for that family whoso circle has been
broken by death to let strangers rome in amd
perform the last sacred office to their departed kin-
dred. Let our colleges teach their stadents the his-
torv of the juriHiinideuce of New- York, and it will
make them wiser citizens when tiiey enter upon the
duties of life. Let our more youthful scholars V<»
t&Q^ht the events and tradicioiis which, make ouc
hills instinct with glowing interest. I>et the family
circle, by the ftresiae. learn the legends of our vaUnyJ
and let tho morfjerwith glowins; pride tell to heT
offspring what those of their own blood and
linoagedid for their cotmtry's welfare, so that patri* ._
otism may be kindled at each hearthstone. Lot thai-
rich man give of his abundance and the poor what h»

they found the region .stretching from' the AtU atits
to the Mississippi, from the great lakes to Uto
present State of North Caztilina, under th«
control of tho IroquoU. They gained fh»t|
power bv the possession of their stronghold^ la thii
State. Vrom these they followed the divergiajr vaU
le>-s which gave them path^^•nys into the coimtiT ol
their enemies, who were di'^ded by tha cham <4
mountains which separated the rivers after- they had
tAken their t-.-urses from the highlimds of New*
York. For more than a eenturv a consest in- armg
and (Ii'»Iomacy was carried on between GrAt Britairi
anil France for the control of the syston of tli»
moimtaina and rivers of this State which made tha
IrcKinoisthe masters of all the adjacent tribes. AU

long course of the French war most of tfae xnmtar^
expeditions were sent forth. It was the place at
which were held the meetings of the ^enta of tha
several Colonies, and at which they learned Xhe vala«
of oo-operation and conceived ttke idea of a nnioa
of the Cfolonies. Host of the revolutionary stmggla
was marked by the same efforts of the contenSn^

THE FLAG OF KZW-TORK,
Immediately afterward Sirs. Abraham Lan-
Mnp:. of AtbaBT, who is ^and-dsugfater of CoL
Peter Ganaevoort, who commanded at Port
Stanwix dmitipr th© siege, unfurled the flag of
tho Third Now-Tork Regim^it, which was sta-
tioned at the fort. The flag has been kept in
Uie family ever ance, and is of heavy blue silk,
wonderfujly preaerred, and bears the original
I'oat of arms of State of New- York. Its appear-
ance was the occasion of tnmultnotis applause
by the people, and called out a happy response
from Oov. Seymour. He said :
It is a source of pattiotic pride to those who live in
tills valley that tlie jflag of our country, with the
t^i&rg and ^^tTrpe^ vfM first displayed in the t&ce of
our enemies on the batjks of tne Mohawk. Hex« it
■woA baptized in the~lalood of battle, here it first
wav^d in triumph over a retreating foe
when the hen^ic defenders of Fort Stan-
^•:ix learned in that remote fortress the emblem
hdoptefl by tlie Continental Congress for the ntand-
tLvds To be borne by its anoies, they hastened to
tnake one in actrordance with the mandate and to
banjt it out from the walla of their fortress. It was
rudely mftde of such matwrials cut from the clothing
itf the <u>Idiers as were fitted to show its colors and
its dPSiKUs, but no other standard, how-
ever skilfully wrouaht upon tilken folds could
Mjual in interest this first fitg of our country,
worked oat by the unskilled hands of brave men
amid the strife of war, and under the fire of b^leag-
urinj^foes. It was to rescue it from ita peril that
the men of this ralloy left their homes and marched
thronch the deep forest to this spot. It was to up-
hold the cause Of which it was the emblem that they
battled here. Time has destroyed that standard.
But I hold in my hand another banner
hardly less sacred in its association with
our history. It la the flag of our State.
which was borne by the regiment commanded by
Col. Gansevoort, not only here at the beginning o"f
the Revolutionary War, but also when it was ended
hy the surrender of the British Army at Yorlrtown.
The brave soldier who carried it through so many
contests valued It beyond all other earthly posses-
slons. He left !t as a precious heirloom to his
family. They have kept it with such faithful care
that again, Rtt«t a cenf ory has rt^ed away, its folds
can be displayed in this valley to another generation,
who will look upon Ir- with a devotion equal to that
Celt by those who followed it on the battle-fields of
the Berelation.
LETTERS or BEGBET.
The Oreskany celebration was so much an
Impromptu affiair, and preparations for it were
begun at so late a day that comparatively few of
those who were invited to participate in the
literary exercises were able to be present. Let-
ters of regret were read from President Hayes,
Secretary Evarts, Gov. Robinson, William C.
Bryant, Benson J. Lesslng. Bayard Taylor, ex-
Govs. Morgan, Dix, Hoffman, Fenton, Clark,
and S. S. Cox, F. A. Conkling, Gov. Rice, Presi-
dent Potter, of the Union College,
George Bancroft, and many others
of like celebritr. Nevertheless the Literary
exercises were of a high order, and occupied-
three hours, from two stands erected on each
hillside, between which runs the Battle Creek
■whose waters were reddeued with the blood of
the Tryon County >Iilitia, At one of the^
Etands Jlajor Stevens, of Kome, presided, and

Mr. J. P

Wheleas, who recentiy -went to
bearing the Invitation from Gov. Por-
ter, the City Ooancil, and the Hert^iaBte' Exchange,
for President Hares to extend his visit^ Louisville
in Septemb^ so as to inclndd Kashville. retamed
yeet^day. Mr. Wheless spe^ES weU o^ the eordial
manner In w^ch he was received by the President.
Accompualed by Postmaster-General Key he visited
the ^VMte House Monday afternoon, and had a very
pleasant talk! ^th the President. The latter seemed
decided against continuing his tour any further than
Loaisville, probably from not having given the matter
soiBcient consideration. Mr. Wheless assured him of
the almost unaulmoas apnrttval his Southern policy
had met in Ttennessoe. and on the cordial welcome he
would receive. As an e\'idence of the Reeling South,
Mr. Wheless stated that on the train j numbers of
his friends, acquainted with his mission, [had come to
him before leaving the cars and wished him success.
He also said that a prominent man from^ an extreme
Soa^em St&te had expressed the wish, as repre-
senting his people, that the Presidential tour would
be extended not only to Nashville, but throughout
the entire South. These statements were rvr^eived
with much isatisfaction by the President. Finally
Mr. Wheless said he would not press hiiii for an an-
swer then, btit, as the Cabinet wm also included in
the invitatioii, and as he understood from Judge Key
it would ineet the next morning, he wOuld suggest
that the question be submitted to that body.
On the following morning, Tuesday, Mr. Wheless
drove out to the Soldiers' Home, the ; President's
Summer residence, and had quite a long conversatiou
with him. Mr. Hayes announced that he had
broached thei subject to the Cabinet, and they were
unanimotisly in favor of accepting; the invitation.
He had, therefore, eoncluded that if nothing un-
toward happened he should visit JjouisvUle, and from
there should come to Nashville. Mr. | Wheless re-
peated his statements regarding the good feeling
toward the President in the Sonth, and Mr. Hayes
expressed hiSiself very freely as to hife intentions.
The time was past when mere indlvidttals could di-
vide sections of the country which should be
united; th^ time had come when all sec-
tionalism should be done awav .with, and he
had firmly set himself to this work. The good citi-
lens of the countrj- of all parties, he felt sure, would
support him in his policv of reconciliation. During
the conversation the President said, yith eNidont
satisfaction, that he had recently received from Gen.
N. B. Forrest a letter heartily approvlhg his policy
toward the South. ^He also said that isome of the
members of the Cabinet, if not all, would accompany
him, and thst letters formally acceptiz^ the invita-
tion would be forwarded this week. i •"
Mr, Wheless should receive the thanksj of our citl-
lens for bringing his mission to so satisJFactory a re-
sult. Unless soine unforeseen circumstance of great
importance intervenes. Nashville will have the
pleaaure of receiving the President as befits his of-
fice, and it is to Ml hoped the visit iriH result in
much good. !
TOOMBS Oy THE SVFFBA&E,
HE TELLS WHY THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA
OUGHT NOT TO BE PERMITTED TO ELECT
THEIR I JtTDOES.
In the Copstltntiooal Convention of Georgia
on the 3d inst., Robert Toombs offered ai proposition
that the Judges of the Superior Court be elected by
the popular Tote. He said that one of the founda-
tion stones of a republican form of government is
that the peopjle are sovereign ; another is, that in a
Republic the loflBcers should be elected by the people.
But who are the people T Assuredly noti the women
and children. j The people are the voters of the land,
and you know well who many of our voters are.
Now, every roan in this social compact which wo call
fovemment has a right fo the rules of lEovemnient.
ut no wisel people will insist upon performing all
the functions of p)V6mrr(ent themselves. I have a
right to shoei my own horse if I choose, but had I
not better leave the job to some one w-hp can do it
better than I can \ Had I not better pii.*e
It to some workman in that line of busi-
ness? There is no principle in any I government
which lets the people perform all the functions of
government. To adoot such a principle would be
the first st€p downward, and there would be no
return. If the oflBcers of the State of Georgia could
be elected by fair and intelligent people [the measure
proposed wo ild be all right. But there lis among us
a class of pfople who have power whicjh we (*annot
take away. The Federal Government, an enemy to
my State, has forced upon her 500,000 voters
(citizens?) neainst her will. No stronger argument
need be ma4[e against submitting the, election of
ilndges to tbe people than that made by the gentle-
men on the other side of the question them-
selves. They yield the- point by| their own
admission. They <jtated that not a single colored
man in a race uOO.OtK* strong in Georgia
had a sest upon the floor of this Convention.
They said this, it is true, to show that the new
element in politics was not a source of much danger
in this State, but does not this conclusively prove
their inabilitj\" to vot« intelligently for officers. The
gentlemen are not willing to snlimit the election of
Judges to thi people of each jndiritU circuit, for fear
that the colnjrod people may have a maioritv in Fome
and may elect their own candidates. Tht^ sfiowa thst
they are notjeonaidered fit to elect their own officers.
This race miist be, then, governed as any other in-
ferior race, ^ith reganl to race, color, and previous
condition. They must be governed by the men who
have the brains, the wealth, and land. Jn behalf of
the poor African. I would save him from himself. I
would not Ipt him be controlled by bad ihen and used
to bad purpose?'. Tbore are some things, then, that
the people of <.ieorgia acknowledge they can have
done as welli by agents a^ by themselves. If all tho
pec^le of Georgia are fit to elect Judges kt them do
it. If they are nOt let them trust it to thes« gentle-
men. There are many people wishing a "new
deal," 'perh^pfi, and perhaps theroi! are some
of the " Onts "' now talking. jMr. James
Buchanan ' thought that the people were
sovereign, but he insisted that the right of suffrage
was delegat«jd. and that the Government had a right
to place restHctit>ns upon suffrage, to say who stiould
vote and who shoulu . not, what officers shrmld be
elected by the people and what ofHcers shoutil no:.
He asKerted ithat the people of the State did not de-
mand the election of Judgt-s as a riijht. For himself,
he preferreii that the Judges should l)e appointed by
the Govemorr. rather even than tiiat they should be
elected by xhe General Assembly. The fewer the
persons ehaiged with the execution of a power, the
better the wbrk wonld be done. In large oodles the
responsibility is very small, very circumscribed, very
limited, but 'where one person has to bear the entire
burden and shoulder all the responsibility, he Inakos
bis best efforts to perform the duty well. But Jf the
Judges are jto be elected by either the General
Assembly or the people, he preferred jtheir election
by the General Assembly as the less of two evila.
The proposition to elect the Judges by the popular
vote was sull'scquently defeated by j.26 to 50.

by'many beautifnl features, especially in the in-field,
where most of the play was done by their side. On

riiere ^vas certainly no fault to find with
ths ventilation of my sfcy-parlor, whitA had
heeu so vaunted by mine host, but its denizens
were most undesirable, as In addition to the or-
diiiary contingent of blocfc beetles, bugs, flees,
flis, and mosquitoes, which I am always
preipared to encounter in the East, a colony of
sparrows had elected domicile under the eaves,
ai^d against the twittering of that sociable but
unpleasant bird no somnolency is proof, how-
ever it nu^y be supeiinduced by fatigue and ex-
haustion. There was no help for it ; sleep was
impossible, and as Soon as the first rays of
PlioebusUefnin'to gUd the onion-topped turrets
of the Metropolitan, and the roseate hues of
daira crept up along the eastern horizon — these
figures are hackneyed, and are only given in emu-
lation of the "frog-smelling Danube" of the
military correspondent of a great London con-
temporary, but the stilts are too high and have
become unmanageable — in plain English, as soon
as it was I road daylight I sallied forth on a voy-
age of discovery, and was disappointed. Giur-
gevo is not "merely a heap of ruins," as
has been pretended, and has not been much
m(>re demolished than it was during the early
stages of the bombardment, when I went down
to look at it Indeed, as was the case then, all
tho houses in two or three of the principal
streets between the square and the river have
beon considerably knocked about and are' de-
serted, and have large holes in their roofs or
sides, and only~fragmenfary window-panes, but,
in not a few instances, particularly in the upper
part of the town, and among the dwellings of
tho poorer classes, I am inclined to believe that
the dilapidations have been the work of the pro-
prietors themselves, with a view to future
claims for indemnity for damages, as in all my
experience I have n *ver seen or heard of a pro-
jectile which could pos-sihly take the eccentric
directions indicated by these shattered walls and
shtjp-fronts. I got through this part.of my in-
spection in half an hour, and then turned my
steps toward the Fire-tower, which stands like a
solitary pelican in the centre of the square, and
suggests the idea that it was one of a lot of light-
houses built on contract, and set down here
while the maval department was looking for a fit
si^e, and then forgotten. There was a sleepy
warrior in soiled linen and bare feet on duty,
who starejl stupidly at me as though to say,
")IVhatevkr is this idiot doing out of his bed at
suteh an hour, when he is not forced to get up
by the Corporal of the guard i" But then the
wiirrior was a native, and natives do not mind
infect'' of any kind, but indeed have a popular
belief that only one family of vampires will es-
tablish itself on one person, and if undisturbed
at their daily -meals will drive away all foreign
intruders, but if molested will form alliances
too terrible to describe, so that the last state of
th » man will be worse than the first. So, like
Mine. Mail'brook, who. In the touching ballad,
m(mnts the platform of her castle to watch the
CO ming of her victorious liege lord, I clambered
np the '■illLsmelling winding stair, and turned
my glasses on RJstchuk, where every street and
nook of the Turkish to\s-n seemed revealed, and
fo rts and mosfiues nnd minarets stood out in
bold relief in the flood of early simshine, just
bright enough to lighten up the scene, but with-
out that intensity which at midday blurs and
cobfuses everything with its blinding
glare. Long lines of white tents upon the
heights behind the town, detachments of sol-
diers at drill, fatigue parties at work on new
inp^nchmonts, itinerant traders peddling their
wires among the soldiers, men and women down
by the river's bank drawing water or washing
clothes, all these could I see through tho clear,
pL.i*e atmosphere as plainly as though I stood
ameng them. The East is matutinal, and grad-
ually all the population came out from its lair
and swarmed about the streets, and up the hill-
sides, a straggling mass of men. women, chil-
dren, soldiers, and donkeys, seemingly oarfless
or forgetful that Islam's deadliest hereditary
foe lies not 1,500 yards away. I passed if*
hours in Ku.Htchuk just a twelvemonth ago, and
tliink that I can speak' knowinely about the
d^orae^l city, around whose walls the fatal circle
of steel and fire is gradually closing in. It was
a^troug olace then, and rec«nt additions have
been made to the fortifications which have
already successfully resisted the Russian sieges
of former campaigns, so that there is good rea-
son to suppose that the fighting here now will
be uncommonly hot and strong. The town is
bnilt at the mouth of the little Kiver Lorn, with
a jeitadel standing upon an eminence overlook-
iijg the Danube, and commanding the opposite
bink.
ISecn from afar off, where the filth and aqualorof
its ill-paved streets are hidden by the distance.
itk white-walled, red-roofed houses and glitter-
i:Jg minarets nestling in the midst of groves and
orchards and gardens, give to it a certain pictu-
resque attractivenes-s which disappears upon
closer inspection. It has long been a prosper-
ous commercial centre as the northern terminus
oftlie great artery of traffic between tho Dan-
ube and the Euxino, and its cosmopolitan popu-
lation of Greeks, Jews, and Bulgarians used to
in)ake a good thing out of their more guileless
Moslem masters. Bat the war has seriously
iiiiterfered with the occupations of its 38,000
liiihabitants, of whom nearly one-half has de-
'pkrted northward in search of pastures new. or
ihas fled for safety to Varna, so that the capital
!of the Danubian Vilayet has now only a purely
iiiilitary Importance, which, however, cannot be
t«o highly estimated, as it forma the upper angle
of the quadrilateral, without whose fall or com-
plete investment Marshal von Moltke maintains
that no Russian operation in the interior can be
conducted with security. I know that this opin-
ion is at variance with that of a great amateur
strategist, who predicts the events of the cam-
paign in a London paper with much assurance
and infinite sagacity, but as the Marshal has
ratsisted in person at two or three battles in the
course of Us experience, and the aforesaid strate-
gist has never even seen 50,000 men in line, I
think that I prefer to recommend the views of
the Slcursbal.
J The defenses of the place consist of two
lines. The first is a continuous enceinte of 11
bastioned forts, constructed on the sides of an
iwegular polygon rvmning down to the Danube,
where there is a succession of water batteries.
All this line dates from the last century, and
hjas all the inherent defects of its epoch, when
long-ranged cannon were not even dreamed of ;
the relief is low, the cuitains short, and the
ditches — ^revetted both on scarp and counterscarp
with masonry, although much wider, in some
pllaccs 50 to 60 feet, than inmost Turkish
fprtiresses — very shallow. In addition to these
there are neither casemates nor bomb-proof
shelters, and the "progress of the siege will
pirobably be marked with the usual incident of
the explosion of one or more powder magazines.
Of the 200 guns which compose its armanent,
about one-half, old-fashionea aifairs, wiU either
burst or not go off at all, but there are three or
four heavy calibred Krupps or Armstrongs in
pch bastion which will do good service. Out-
ide of the enceitUe is a second line of 29 de-
nched works, constructed somewhat after the
.S-stem proposed by Gen. Hogniot Eight of
these are regular forts, with bastions and
ditches, the others only lunettes or redans, in
some cases mere epaulements to cover the inter-
yals between the salients, but they appear to be
admirably disposed to take advantage of the
ground, and the approaches ar« well defiled and
mutually flank each other, so that each mtist be
the objective of a separate attack. Thirteen
earthworks of different shapes and siees cover
the approaches from Shumla and Silistrla on
the Und side, and six those from Silis-
tjria along the Daiiube, while seven redoubts,
among which is the formidable, permanent
fortification of the Leverra Tabia crown the
ridge of hills mnning parallel to (the river.
This is the key of the whole position ; it is
stronger than was the f amoua Mount Valerian,
ikbeie all the efforts of the Oerman siege pna
were fridtleaily dtreoted during the Oege
of Faila, and so Ions u it holds ont Bnstchak

men, rather jless than more, under the com-
mand of the Maschir Esref Pasha, with a Ferik
or Lieutenant-General, Tahlr Pa.sha, as military
goyemor of thje fortress. I should explain here
Qiat this! wotfd muschir, althongh generally

in-bhief ot aT^larmy, and is not a permanent
title, but like that of Seraskier or Serkar-ul-

held for the time being. That Rustchuk is
capable of a I very seriotis resistance even the
Russians do hot affect to deny; it cannot be
taken from itsjlriver front, for such is its com-
mand over the! left bank, that a very few hotirs'
cannonade will suffice to silence the enemy's
batteries at Stpbodja, as soon as the Turks elect
to direct their flre in that direction, instead of

There will J be no occasion for manosuvring,

to-bo demorEd|zed garrison of Nikopolis last
Sunday; a good many brave fellows will be down
among the dea^ men before the crescent will oe
lowered and a [Te Deum simg for the triumph of
the imperial larms. As with Giurgevo, so it
seems to bejHvith Rustchuk, the damages
caused by the bombardment have been ridicu-
lously exaggerated, and a most careful examina-
tion, even through a powerful telescope on the
watch-tower, has failed to reveal to me " the
fearful ravages caused by these ministers of de-
stnictiohj" (^ course, some of the hovels near
the river hav^ been battered down, but, most
certainly, thatj tmsightly building, the French
Consulate, still stands in all its original yellow ' '
ugliness, and as the British institution is situ-
ated directly in its rear, I am inclined to believe
that it, too, is uninjured ; even that horrible
mansion, the Islacs Kham Hotel, has been re-
spected, and fiis all these points were directly
within range, | think that the Muscovites must
be acquitted of the alleged accusation of a wan-
ton destruction of private property.

burg— this designation has been prefixed since
yesterday — wais in a great commotion ; it
jjossessed a live lion — a captive lion, I shoidd
say, but none| tho less a celebrity, and, at any
rate, the first person of rank who bad deigned
to honor it with his presence. The prisoner, a
captive of the | Russian bow and spear, is on his
way to exile and relative comfort In the best
room of the hotel was Hassan P.isha. the late
oommander of Nikopolis, and so I sent up my
card and interviewed him, and found an old »c-
?n&intance. -How I knew him was in this wise :
was at Rustchuk, on my way to Varna, my
luggage had been weighed and leaded, to save
trouble at the Constantinople Custom-house,
and I was about getting into a carriage, when
a tall, dark-complexioned, soldierly-looking man
made his appearance, followed by severu ser-
vants, some carrying a valise or a carpet-bag.
the others nothing, being e\-idently there for
the sake of .grandeur. Their re.si>ectful de-
meanor and the obsequiousne.ss of the station-
raa-ster showoij that he must he a mamamouschi
of the first class, and so I addressed my hitherto
dearest frieuJj 'Tewflk Bey, who is something or
other, I forget' now what, on tho railway, and

asked who hoi -jvas. Now. Tewflk Boy is one of
the most brasty of young Mu.saulmans. He had
been brought! lUp iii a French college, had ac-
quired all theijromiiKric of a child of Belleville
or the Fsubotirg St Antoine. but he hated for-
eigners, alth<^jagh he affected much their so-
ciety, and although, dr perhaps because, he had
espoused a yo^g person of French birth and
grlliette persusision from the classic precincts of
th^ Latin Quairter, who had commenced her
married life hy kicking all of the harem out of
thehonse, and whocontinned It by sitting morally
downupon hetj'husband, andby generally shock-
ingMcslem prejudices on .-uch points as refusing
to wear a jftmliiiiLak. and receiving gentlemen visit-
ors whenevei^ ^hey chose to call and send up their
cat;ds. Poor ilTewflk did not and I suppose does
not, dare to c^dl his soul his own at home,
bdt he was, as i a rule, uncommonly bumptious
when from liiider his ^"ife's eye. She was a
very plain pei]son this Mrs. Tewflk, but it was
ai^ ,{llustration of the triumph of mind over
matter, and aUbough he not unfreqoently tried
to revolt, hej had no more chance with the
clever Frenchwoman than a baby. But Tewflk
was cowt^d now and much subdued in manner,
and not until the great man had taken his seat
did bo confid^'to me that his name was Hassan,
that he had jbeen a Major of Engineers until
lately, but th^t being utterly ignorant of his
profession — i^Horan/ comnn'- nne caroe, said Tew-

chpsen sf a symbol of ignorance I could never
ascertain — he; ^ad been promoted to the rank of
General of Division and was now on his way to
Stamboul to;}thank the Seraskier for his a<i-
viincement. He was supposed to be personally
cojirageous, .]b|Ut he would never win a battle,
although he was just the sort of a person to get
hipisetf killed rather than surrender. I had
nOt time to hear more about my traveling com-
panion for the engine began to shriek, and as
there wa.s qnly one flrstrclass compartment in
thfe train, % had the full benefit of
hik society, ill which I must admit was
not gay "eat festive. As far as the
Sh^imla Statibn he never opened his mouth,
but sat coiled] up in one comer, staring vacantly
oiit of the window, and playing with the beads
of[ his chaplelj^ We talked together a little be-
fore we reached Varna, but he was not either
edifyitig or expansive, and our conversation,
like the majority of Turkish conversations,
consisted of i ^ series of monosyllabic ejacula-
tions at longl intervals, which confirmed my
friend Tewflkfs appreciation of his intellectual
ca.pacities. When next X heard of him he had
just lost Nikojjolis, but he had not fulfilled the
prediction about dying, although, to do him
luietice, he had dose his duty according to his
lights. Of coiirse, I saw himf and fancied an
improvementl perhaps because he had been
chastised by jmisfortunes, but he still kept on
wOiTying hiH beads, and he was almost as taci-

Individiiij} Bulgaria from Bouiuelia, the
B^U^n rangeli separates the hill country from
the plain. Bijdgaria, with the exception of the
m^irshybeltiilpngtbe Danube, and a few sandy
tracts tipon tae sea-shore, is a " rolling " region,
ini: the fertile valleys of which are concentrated
nearly all the life and cultivation of the province.
BjnimeUa, on the other hand, in its eastern and
more importapt section, presents the appearance
of 'a spacious ^d well-watered plain, covered in
many places vrith wild grass as high as a horse's

heights ^aronnd Shnmla,- and 1to rocky ridges
through Which ike Pfavadl floiTB downward to
Vwna and the Black Sea. "tOU the present
year, only one Russian army had ever passed
this great natural barrier, viz., that of Count
Dlebitseh, in 1829, who thus earned his title
of " Za-BalkansU," j(beyond the Balkan.) Sin-
gularly enough, the passage of the Balkan was
then made by the easternmost of tdl the passes
— ^that along the sea-shore to Sfisivri — ^whereas
now it is the westernmost — that between 6a-
brova and Kasanlik, popularly known as the
Schiplca Pass— which has admitted the invader.
But, in 1829, Servia ami. Bonmania were in no
eondition to co-opetate with the Russian forces,
and to secure their rear, as at present ; and the
route chosen, as bringing the army within reach
of the assisting fleet, and keeping its left flank
constantly covered by the sea, was probably the
best that conld have been selected under the
circumstances.
The six routes across the Balkan which are
available for ih« passage of an invading army,
divide themselves naturally into two groups,
the eastern radiating from the central point of
Shumla, the western from that of 'nmova.
From .Sistova to the latter place the distance by
road is only 75 to 80 miles ; bat the highway is
in wretched condition, everywhere broken into
mts and holes, and like all the other lines of
commuiucation in this district religiotisly left
unrepaired — the only road-mending witnessed ■
by this generation being attributed to Midhat
Pasha, when, as Governor of the " Danube
Vilayet," he repaired the old Roman highway
from Pannonia to Byzantium. At the village of-
Senovtzy tho Sistova road joins an equally bad
one from Rustchuk, traversing a snccession of
terrace-like plateaus, one above another, and
passing the dangerous defile of Biela, on the
Jantra, where a Russian reconnoitring force
sustained a severe check some weeks ago. Just
beyond this point it crosses the river by one of
the finest bridges in Bulgaria, and, skirting the
left bank, traverses the Samavoden ravine and
reaches Timova.
Timova, or Trenova, thongh fallen from the
high place which it held in t^e days of Bul-
garian independence, is still of some importance
as the capital of a Sandjakat (district) and the
meeting point of so many lines of communica-
tion. It has a strong po.sition on a branch of
the Jantra, between two steep pyramidal hills,
once crowned by extensive fortiflcatione. On
this road (which it completely closed to an
enemy) stood the royal fortress of the Bulgarian
Kings, which the traveler passes on his way
south to the Balkan. At the foot of the range
itself he crosses the Jantra by a stone bridge
and enters the town of Oabrova, (Grahova, ) one
of the most noted of tiie native Bulgarian
towns, both from its extensive manufactures
and from the generons assistance given hy it to
the establist^iaeBt of native schools. The
ascent from Gabrova to the summit
of the ridge, though gradail, is very
fatiguing, the passage of the limestone
rocks in which the road is cut being no trifle in
Summer ; but as you mount higher a splendid
oak forest throws its refreshing shade over the
road, and shelters you almost to the summit.
This is the famous '* gchipka Pass " throuarh
Which Prince Mirski entered RoumeUa a few
weeks ago. It will be remembered that when
Sultan Abdul Medjld visited Silistria by this
route in 1836, a road 30 miles long had to b e
made ei^re.s.sly for him ! but the road is no w
being widened by the Russians, and rendered
practicable for- artillery. The height of the
pass, at its summit, is 4,o00 feet, and for the first
three miles of the descent, as far as the village
of Schipka, rivals in steepness any " cliff path "
in the Alps — commanding, however, a glorious
view of the wide green valley below, in which,
half hidden by the countless gardens whence
the famous " otto of roses" is supplied, lies the
charming little town of Kasanlik, justly praised
by Col. Baker as one of the loveliest spots in
THirkey. The general effect is very much that
of the first view of Caracas from the crown of
the Silla Ridge, though the Turkish valley un-
questionably surpasses the Venezuelan in luxu-
riance of vegetation.
Next on the list comes the Tivarititzka Pass,
named after a village on the southern slope,
near which Gen. Gourkho crossed the chain to
fall on the rear of the Turks guarding the
Schipka Pass against Prince Mirski, though he
appears to have made use of the mountain path
to Hainkoi. pointed out by his Bulgarian guides,
rather than the actual " 'Tivarititzka Pass-'' The
latter is reached from Timova by a road through
the vaUey of tho Slatear (Saltar) to the old Bul-
garian town of Helena, (Jelena or Hena,) and
thence by a path over the mountains, debouch-
ing into the Tundja (Ttindscha) VaUey, 30 or 40
mues east of Kasanlik.
A little beyond Tivarititzka commences the
branching off from the main Balkan range of
tho three mountain ridges already mentioned ;
and through these run the various lines of the
** Shumla group." Shumla is to Eastern what
Tirnova is to Western Bulgaria, or Adrianople
to Eastern RoumeUa. the centre from which
radiate all the local highroads. On this ac-..
count it is always the objective point of an
army invading Bulgaria by the eastern route,
and the strength of its position has more than
once seriously impeded the Russian advance.
The basin in which It lies is only penetrable on
two sides, the other two being defended by Im-
Sassable precipices, split in every direction by
eep narrow gullies. The surrounding hills are
crowned by numerous defensive works, recently
repaired and enlarged under the direction of
two Prussian officers in the Turkish service,
Capts. Blum and Strecker, now called Besohid
Pasha and Blum Pasha. It is calculated that
60,000 men might encamp commodiously with-
in the circle of defense ; and the impracticable
nature of the surrounding country, cut up by
innumerable ravines, woiud render an assault
or a blockade equally difficult.
In the hollow between the Kntchuk and Stara-
Planina branches of the Balkan, surrounded on
every side by the steep hills in which rises the
Lesser Kamtchik, lies the little town of Kasan,
called by the Bulgarians " Kotel," (Kettle,) from
the peculiar shape of the gorge inclosing it
Through this gOrge passes the road from Osman-
Bazar, crossing on its way the Blnar-Dagh and
Eutchuk ranges, which are still crowned
by forts built generations ago, and sore-
ly in need of the repairs which they
never get Beyond Kasan lies the fa-
mous pass of Demir-Kapu, (Iron Gate,) a nar-
row and gloomy defile, which, as a recent
traveler justly says, "a handful of resolute
men could hold against an army ;" but however
impregnable in front, it may be easily turned
by a detachment of light infantry following the
path on the right The tn-o roads which branch
off, a little further along, to Slivno (Selimno)
and Kamabad, are eminently defensible, travers-
ing deep gullies and crossing numerous streams
which flow into the Tundja. These swell into
furious torrents after a few hours' rain, and anv
army attempting to cross them must carry vrith
it an ample supply of all requisites for bridge-
buUding, none whatever being obtainable on
the road. The chain may be crossed from Kasan
by another route, mnning south-eastward
through the narrow defile of Kotlenski-Buaa,
and entering the town of Karnabad from the
west
The Dobrot Pass is the most direct approach
from Shumla, bat can only be reached by taking
or masking that fortress, which completely com-
mands the road leading to it The line of march
crosses the Kamtchik near Eski-Stomboul, the
river being shallow, and otUy 70 feet broad at
that point, with a stony bottom, well suited for
a trestle bridge. Passing over the Stara-
Planina at a height of 900 feet it crosses the
Lesser Kamtchik near the town of Tchalikawak,
a kind of duplicate of Kasan, but with good
camping ground and pasture, and weU supplied
with both wood and water. Thence to Dobrot,
a succession of perilous gorges and barely ford-
able streams, only one of which has even a
plank bridge over it, confront the invader. The
pass itself is 2,000 feet high, and even when
Kamabad is reached, the " Buyuk-Derbend,"
one of the most formidable defiles in Turkey,
lies between it and Adrianople, while along the
whole of this part of the route there is abso-
lutely no forage whatever.
The road leading toAidos over the Nsdir-
Derbend Pass starts fromPravadl, on the Var-
na Railway, lying in a narrow, tunnel-like cleft,
600 feet deep, Omragh which the River Pra-
vadi flows. The first part of the line of march,
(which, however, may be varied by taking the
other road tiirough Jenikoi, ) is the most dimcult
of all the eastern routes, etossing the same
stream 40 times in the DeUdahi v aUer, and
traversine a defile barely 60 yards wide. It
was by ffils nad that the Bossian General Bn-
diger, eiOMing tha Eatttcltik at Knprikoi, and

two i«ada ftom Flavati meet, oame down upon

TmUdi right was broken by the aettvity of Uie
Bmslia fleet, which took Ankhialo (Akfaioloa)
and SzozopoU. (Sisebolou,) and threatened Bnr-
f OS Itself. Their left was meanwhile shattered
y two defeats at SUvno and JamboU, (the
present terminus of th© incomplete Adrianople-
Shnmla Railway,) and the whole Army foil
back upon Adrianople, the surrender of which
soon after terminated the ^ar.
The four towns of SUvno, Kamabad, -Aidos,
and Hisivri, stand in a Une from weist to east
along the road traversing the southern slope of
the Balkan, forming Uie natural base of defense
for fhis part of the range, tjiough the shifting
of the seat of war to the west has for the pres-
ent left the two latter almost beyond the ovole
of operations. SUvno, formerly an independent
" Voynlk" village, is the lar;^ and most im-
portant of the four, eontainim; a mixednopula-
tion (chiefiy Bulgarians) of 20,000 to 25,000.
But the key of the district, the present objective
point of the Russian forces, is Adrianople itself.
This city, the capital of the district of that naine
forming the north-east section of Roumella, wag
formerly a place of considerable strength,
though its defenses, Uke those of nearly every
fortress in Turkey, have been suffered to fall to
decay; and when the Russians began their
inarch across the iBalkan it had not a single gun
fit for use. Whether the " 100 pieces of can-
non" hastily ordered thither from Constantino-
ple will arrive in time to be of any service re-
mains to be seen.
The western oart of the Balkan ehaln averages
5,000 feet in height, some of the peaks being
covered with snow tiU the end of June.
Further east, the mean hei^t is only 3,500
feet, and the huge terraced dills of the lower
slopes are rounded off by thickly-wooded bluffs.
The southern slope is steeper than the north-
em, and has fewer spurs : but both are equally
woody and equally bare of population. In
Winter the roads are absolutely impassable,
and in Summer tho want of water and the
parching up of aU herbage by the .excessive
heat are severely felt hiothing can be more
picturesque than the effect of the great masses
of rock towering several hundred feet above
the dark forests aroimd, and at times taking
the shape of parapets, towers, or.gateways ; but
the almost total absence of bridges, uie de-
plorable state of the roads, which a single
shower suffices to render impracticable, and the
incredible fllthiness of the mountain hamlets
are very considerable drawbacks.
Our survey has made no mention of the To-
polnitza Pass, in the Western Balkan, near
Etropol, which has more than once plsved an
important part in the wars of inediseval Europe.
When Vlamslav, tTJTig of Poland and Hungary,
invaded Turkey in 1443, proclaiming himself,
like-the Czar to-day, "tJie champion of Eastern
Christianity," he reached and took Sophia, but
failed In his attempt to penetrate through " Tra-
jan's Gate." The Bulgarian mountaineers,
however, guided him bv way of Slatitza into the
Topolniu.a detile on Christmas Eve. and the
Turks, thus taken in tte rear, were routed with
great slaughter on the following day. But its
distance from the scene of action is too great to
admit of its figuring in the present struggle for
the possession of Adrianople ; and. except in the
event of an advance upon Sophia by way of the
Timok VaUey, its share in the war wUl probably
be but smalL

The geaer^ direction of the road after leaving Tir-
nova is somewhat to the westward of sonth until it
teaches Grabova, some 35 miles distant from the
former place. At Gabrova the^road crosses the
Jantra by a stone bridge, and thence, mnning almost
due south, ascends toward the paas ol Scbipka. This
latter is described by Von Moltke as being formed by
two deep valleys in which the Jantra and the Schipka
take their rise, with a high and very narrow ridge
between them. A very steep descent then leads to
the Tillage of Schipka, from which the pass takes
its name. This latter villi^ was entered by Gen.
Oourkho, with the troops which had crossed the Bal-
kans by the Hainkoi track, two days l>efore the as-
sanlt was made upon the Schipka Pass- Conse-
Sncntly, when^he attack was made on the 19th, the
efenders of W^ psss were taken both in front and
in rear ; in front by the Orloff Regiment and artil-
lery advancing from Gabrova, in rear by Gen.
Gourkho'a force operating from Schipka. Formidable
works had been constnicted to resist the attack from
the north : and these, apparently, enabled the Turks
to withstand the first onslaught made on the 17th,
when the'Orlaovas Regiment, attacking from Ga-
brova, lost seven offtcers and more than 200 men ;
bnt the r«ir of the defenders being unprotected,
they were obliged to evacuate their jwaltion as soon
as the advance from the village of tschipka was de-
veloped." ^

In discussing the AntoneUi scanda], the Rome
correspondent of the London Standard says : " It
would be a vain, and, mdeed, one may say, a hypo-
critical assumption to pretend that a man in the po-
sition of the late Cardinal AntoneUi is bound in con-
science, or even by the code of social proprieties, to
subnait T^'TniAlf to the same moral rale as should be
imperative on a person ' in holy ordera.' We iProt-
estants are not wont to consider that there
is any great difference as regards such mat-
ters between a ' deacon ' and a priest But
the difference Ls a very wide one to the Roman
Catholic mind, if only by reason of the indelibility of
the latter character, and the possibility, on the other
hand, of anyone retiringfrom the ecclesiastical career
who has pursued it no further than to become a
' deacon.' Cardinal AntoneUi was in this position.
He was only a deacon, and it should be understood
that the fact of Ms being a Cardinal in no wise made
him any nearer to the priestly otHce tlian if he had
held no'snch rank. During the palmy daj-s of the
Papal royalty it was very frequently found desirable
to make Cardinals of men who neither had, or pro-
fessed to have, or were suTOOsed by anybody to have,
any vocation for the sacerdotal office. And such men
remained deacons. And very thin, indeed, was the
veil which. 50 years ago, anybody, from the occupant
of St Peter's seat downward, pretended to see be-
tween the proprietlefi of a Cardinal Deacon's life, and
the thinffs whkh a by no means strait -laced society
permitted, with more or less of whispered fy, fy,
to the ordained members of its aristocracy.
And clerical Rome is pretending: to be very much
shocked, while non-clencal Rome is chuckling and
rubbing ite hands, while pretending to think that
their adversaries, who hall from the Vatican, have
great reason, indeed, to be dismayed. There is. I
take it, no reason at all to doubt that the late Cardi-
nal -AntoneUi left a dauehter by a lady who subse-
ritly became the Countess Marconi, and who has
e died."

The Trenton Gaeeite says that one of the
Princeton CoUege 6tudents,^who started on an ex-
ploring tour throagh Colorado, writes home to an-
nounce the arrival of the party at South Park on
the 13th of July. Ijeaving Princeton on the 21st of
June, the party went by raU directly to Denver.
"Weaet out from Denver." says the writer, "on
horse. With male wagons aocompanyins to carry pro-
visions, blankets, &c, and proceeded along the road
to Colorado Springs. We found good water and
grass for our wnimalK along the Platte. Sunday,
July 1, we spent at the ranch of Dr. LeveiBon. At
the • Garden of the Gods ' we made onr camp per-
manent for nearly a week, and found it a capital
centre from which to proceed in quest of specimens.
We found the rocks directly In front of the ' gate'
abundantly flUed with fossil shells belonging probably
to the cretaceous order. Of these we se<mred many
valuable specimens. Directly south of this locaUty is
'Cement Gulch,' where we also found manysbeUs
similar to those at the gate. We also found an im-
mehse number of teeth of fishes and reptiles. Por-
tious of the daws of crustaceans were also secured.
Some very interesting and important evidence relat-
ing to the early existence of man has been secui^
which in due time will be made public. Leaving the
'Gardenof theGods,' we set out, through Ute Pass,
for South Park, stopping on the way at Johnson's
ranch, and after another day's maroi, at the ranch
of Judse CaateUo we were successful in getting very
valuable specimens of fossil plants, fishes, insecta.
and shells, ail of which have peculiar stories to teU of
the vast changes that have occurred in the disposition

"To your generous and kind offer to pl&cemejoif

keenly feel the rs^rot that circumfitances operate I so
strangely against our desire, liike yourselves, ges^i

THE WISC02fSiy GREENBACKERS,
The Stlilwftokee Wuconsin asks: ''Do the
membert of the Greenback Party, those who claim
to be BepuUicans, appreciate the danger in which
they pla^ the Republican Party of Ihe State f Tho
question is pertinent, because there 'can be no one
who seriously thinks for a moment that there is any
chance of sueoeaa for a pronounced soft-money tickert.
This fact b«ing admitted, is it not patent to all Re-
publicans who have the real interests of the State at
heart that their support of the ^neral principles
which they profess should not be divided I The vote
In this Stete is liable upon the first campaign after a
Pr*6ident4Al election to be ver>' close. I'ignres show
that the Kepublicaus bring out their fall strength in
a PreiddsntlM canvass, and at the cncceeding Guber-
natoCial election ^ow themselves to neglect tbelr
duty, to the great detriment of their party. It is
conceded that in all probability William K- Smith
will be the nominee of the Kepublicau convention.
We have no doubt th:\t he will be elected; b^t .it
would be a graceful thing for the RepublLeans in the
Greenback Party (which has no idea of success) to
saplKnrt the regular BapnbUean ticket, and beyond a
peradreature aeenze a good Qturenkor.'^

EXCUESIOX STEAU'BOATS, I
EXAGGERATED BEPOBTS OP OVERTiOABOrel— »
BESULTB OP A DAY'S SUPEBVISIOar B^
CCBTOM-HOXrSg lySPECTOBS, i -
A good znany v«ry latge stories abont'fha^
overloading of excursion steam-boats hare, dn
the Summer, found their w»y into print, and theji
suit has been that Supervising Inspector Strstton, i
of Ihe bispector's ofiBee, has been lod to make appU-,
cation to the CoUector for Inspectors to watA ^et
excursion steam-boats and ascertain whether ^e.
crowding is really carried to the degree leporrtWLj
The application for Inspectors was made under th*
law governing the steam-boat inspection servioe, on*
section of which says that the laws presented far thai
Inspectors shall be enforced by the Collector orotfaen
chief officers of the Customs, under a penalty fox^^
failure of $100 for ea<A offense. Deputy Survwor-
Benedict, in compliance with the request of Mi\.i
Stratton, on Sunday had a force of men stationed oai
board the different eirorsion boats leaving this City.
The day was an unusually favorable one, and the
number of travelers was apparently enormous. Th»
Inspectors assigned .to count the passengers hava
not formally reported, but they generally state
that the overcrowding reports have be^-n ex^eer-
ated. While many of the steamboats running tun-
day appeared to be densely crowded, the fact was
that not one of them, carried more than the number
allowed by law, and most of them carried very much
less than the legitimate number. Hr. Stratum
says that the steam-bbat men are careless
about overstating the amount of businesa donci
by them, but very careful not to ovecatep
the steam-boat laws, and that a disposition is msini-
fested among them to comply with the Government
regulations In every particular. Careless observera
of tlie crowds on steam-boats are easUy led to believt
that the boats are overcrowded, when the edges ap>
pear thronged and "black," but that frequent^
when all the indications are that a boat is overloaded
it really contains less than the number of j
flowed by its certificate.
WEIGSTS AXD UEAStSES.
The Gommon Council hav6 republished th*
ordinance regulating weights and measures, the piro-
visions of which are so little understood, and wh&eh
are interesting at this time, when complainta«aie be-
ix^ continually made by merchants against aome oC
tne inspectors, and also when complaint is pending
before the Mayor against In.spector Jacob J. Bajita
for neglect of duty. The provisions of the ordinaaoo
■ummarlzed are : The Inspector is directed to iei-
amine all weights, measures, scAle beams, patent
b&laiieefi. &c, at least cmce each year, for whiehhe ia to
receive the following fees : For inspecting every -
weight under 14 ■pounds. 3 cents; over 14 pounds, £^
cents ; for ever hqnid measure, 5 cents : for every
vard or dry measure. 5 cents ; for every scale weigh-
ing less than 250 pounds, 20 cents ; for every plat'
form scale weighing 250 pounds and over, 50 oenta
eao^ He is Sso giv^'U power to inspect them aa
often as he may think proper, but if found correcS
he canchaige only one fee in every 12 months. Tho
feesof the Sealer of Weights and Measures are : For
marking every scale-beam, &c, 32ia cents ; tor
every measure of extension. 12 ^a cents per yard;
for every weight, 3 cents ; for a gallon meaeoxe, 3
cents; over a gallon, IS^a cents; for every
haU-bushel measure, 12^ cents ; two-hoshel
measure, 75 cents ; and three-bushel measure and
over, $1. He is also allowed a rea.sonable compensa-
tion for making weights and measures conform to th«
standard established by law. The penalty for usiiu
unstamped weights or 'meaKures is ^ ; for using one*
incorrect or out of order $2,5. and for refusing to ex*
hibit weights and measures for inspection $45.
There is also a penalty of $25 for obstructing or^^
terfering with an inspector in the discharge of hia
dutv. All inspection is to be made at ^e ^ac*
where the weights or measures are jised. |
TBOVELE IX A WATCH FACTORY. \
The employes of a watch factory mt "WIbsi
End, N. J., held a torchlight procession last evening
because of a <diange made in the management oC the
institutiou. The business was formerly done by the
firm of Giles, Wales & Co. Some time ago Hesitea.
Elias Brothers, a jewelry firm doing business in 5ew<
York, took a l«»e of the premises. They allowed
Mr- Giles, senior member of the old firm, to euperin-
tend the business, but the management was so
faulty that the men, unable to get fiieir pay, h«ve
been for months on the verge of starvation. Satur-
day evening the New-York firm concluded to ot«t
ilr. Giles from the management of the concern, but
he claimed to o'wn part of the machinery in the
building, and declined to be ousted- I>Qring Ma ab-
sence, however, a number of the employea o|
Elias took possession of the building, and when Gfles
subsequently appeared, demanding an entrance, tkey
drove him away with stones and pistols. Sunday
evening the ruen removed from the building all the
machinery in it, and placed some of their number on
fuard to prevent the re-entrance of Griles. It is tm^
erstood that to-morrow or Thursday the factor^
will be reopened under the new auspices with 300
hands at worli, and the men are happy at the pros"
pert of being supplied again with work which shall
yield eometlung- more substantial than oft-repeated
and oft-broken promlGes of pay.

LojiBOS, Thuisday, July 26, 1877.
^ It IB certam that England means, at least,
hii fox-himten gay, to be "la mt tlie death."
wrtufther she will makeJier i^peanace on the
PBezie before the last act, depends upon tbe re-
^t of negotiatloni now going on between the
*»»lona powers interested in the terms of peace.
!rhe QoTemment does not mean to fight if it is
poaaible to avoid a conflict The nation objects
to war, though it will greatly blame llinistera
11^ intending to interfere, their preparations
Mihonld prove to be too late to make the
ti^i impression at the right moment.
jThe piesent week has been an exciting one.
<A. general belief in the speedy intervention of
ngland has spread thronghout the land. The
nmissionlng of ships, the movements of-
ops, the cautions and somewliat vagae ez-
ations of Ministers, tend to confirm this
Impression. The Duke of Cambridge has been
triewing troops at 'Woolwich, and at a banquet
^ * other night Sir Garnet Wolseley said the
ny was never in a finer condition than it is
ow. There are, nevertheless, serious rqmors to
> contrary. Military and other critics have
en pointing to battalions that exist on paper
not in the field, to the weak physique
'pt some of the regiments } reviewed , by
the Queen at Windsor, and to the
wg6 proportion of boys in the Army.
iThit kind of criticism is rather the result of
■B anxious solidtade {or the welfare of the
service than the outcome of honest conviction.
The Dnke of Cambridge has expressed himnaK*
Well satisfied with the qtiality and character of
the troops which are leaving England this week
bn£xt for " the Mediterranean regions." The
ps under immediate orders are only 3,000,
■a stated by Lord Berby, but some 10,000
pthers are preparing to receive orders, and once
jttie stream is set flowing, the entire army may
Iw regarded as practically in motion.
The idea that the defeat of the Government
jDn the Pigott appointment is an indication of
ministerial weakness, promoted by their foreign
tpoliey, is a fooUsh invention. After Lord
^eaeonsfield's explanation, and on a complete
tnpiesentation of the case to the House of Com-
pnons, the objectionable record previously
^amed in regard to the Premier's action in the
■natter was unanimonsly withdrawn by a full
jBonse. Lord Beaconsfield is neither unpopular
jwith Parliament nor with the country, and if,
llanhappily, war should be declared, the bioker-
pngs of opponents would speedily be bashed,
Wnd Great Bijitian would stand forward as one
^nan in the national interest. The verified ac-
loonnts of Russian atrocitiea have done a great
aeal to neutralize the recent movements of Mr.
/Gladstone ; and even Mr. Freeman considers it
Eeceasary to write to the papers, aasmrng the
nbiie that be never used the expression
"perish India." There is one member
■of the Cabinet who ought to resign, both
^or his own reputation's sake and in
the interests of peace. Lord Salisbury
Iiaa become a national bugbear^ The public be-
Beves he is a Russianizer. Turldsh sympa-
thizers hate him. The Gladstone party centre
their hox>es in bim. The Cabinet is troubled
with his crotchets. It would be best for all
parties if he retired. The Queen will not let
jhlm. The Premier and Lord Derby much pre-
fer that he should remain. They hope to see
Ziim thoroughly at one with themselves. They
claim to have made large sacrifices for peace ;
■nd even Lord Salisbury is not averse to the
tnaintenance of British interests. These inte-
tests have been clearly defined in ofSicial dis-
patches to Russia. The next few weeks will
■how to what extent these declaiataans have
tommltted the two QoTemments.
I Mr. Gallenga, one of the Times' correspond-
ents, has coma home. He is writing a book on
ttia eastern question. The Conference will
be exhaustively treated in this wH>rk for the
first time. Mr. Gallenga is in a position to make
some curious and interesting revelatJDns.
The Envoy from Kashgaria, in his ^reen robe,
fa stdli in London. They evidentiy do not put
<m outward signs of mourning in his late mas-
ter's dominiuns. Koolee Beg. who has succeeded
|te the throne, is said not to inherit his father's
confidence in the English. It is not un-
Hk^y, therefore, that in this change of
anonarchs complications mav arise more
%o the Interest of Russia than England. Per-
It^ps the Ameer thought so when he appointed
to- succeed Mm his ablest General, who had
idven'up his legitimate pretensions in favor of
S^Iee BeK. The Turks are fighting the battles
of England in Asia, for it is quite certain that
;tbe day will come when Anglo-India will have
(to meet the Czar in these regions. The time
tnay be far off, but within the past 20 ^ears
Snssia has pushed her outposts to points hither-
to regarded as Inaccessible. She is now estab-
liahed on the Oxus, and Merv is a point too near
LAfghanistan to be pleasant for England, es-
meoaUy when, according to treaties and under-
tStandings, she 'has no right to be there at aU.
|Bnt the precedent of Khiva leads her on, f(nd In-
jdian gossips say that she is making liberal offers
sof alliance to .Afghanistan, while others declare
that Afghanistan m preparing to oppose with
the sword further Bussum advances. The dif-
ficulties of obt&iztiug a true statement of the
■itaation in those regions are, however, very
grsat, and every report has to be carefhlly
yeighed and investigated before it may b^ ac-
eepud.
Two leaders of the Opposition spoke at pub-
Uo places yesterday in reference to the war.
■frhe Marquis of Hartington received the free-
'^m of the ancient-company of Fishmongers in
the City of London, and lii. John Bright un-
Telled the statue of Cobden at Bradford. Lord
Hartlngton said the Liberal Party, which he
lias the honor to lead in the Houfe of Commons,
have never denied that grave interests are in-
volved and that a time may come when it will
1^ necessary to defend thoee interests. At the
■ame time they believed that England's position
Would only be weakened by a premature inter-
ference until tbey knew how their interests
■were likely to be affected azid in what way they
■were to be dealt with. He and his friend. Lord
OramvUle, (who sat by the side of the Speaker, )
had striven to keep the Eastern question out of
the domain of party politics. At Bradford, Mr.
Bright gave his eager listeners some well select-
ed illustrations of the blessings of neutrali-
ty. Among them the following will have a pe-
enliar Interest Cor America :
" Kow, doxlni; this time tliepo 'was another great
war, from 1860 to 1865 — ^viz.. the civil war in the
United States. You rememoer what took place
then. There was. a war party here, some waatmgto
«oa]esee with the Bmperor of the French to acknowl-
edge tba party of tho Southern State*, to make
alavery petpetnal, and enter mto a dioastrons eom-
vaet to oppose tlw great power of the Nortii. It wo
Bad done that w» aaould not have imcceeded in estab-
y^>,t„y the slaw confederacy, for the great and
worthy armies otf the North, 1^ to themselves to
fight oat the stmgglo If any power in £urope had
StMfored not the million of men would have Men in
the iUld, but a million more would have been entered
tnto it. Whether tha Conlederacy waa established
nx the RepablM] reaxdtAd^ this wotud have been cer-
taia : the tw«uty or thixt/ millious in the Northezn
States would have been forever at hostility with this
eoontry, and the brotherhood betTrreen that people
muA ourselves for which wo hope and pray would
&VO been postponed for many generations. [Clieer*.]
Well, now. in these caaes, you see, war was avoided.
Is there one sbi^le man in the Unitod Kingdom ont-
alde Bedlam — (langhter] — and I doubt If there be one
nside it — [renewed laughter] — who regrets thecoorse
.«f nentrahty which the people and the Government
of tho ■United Kingdom pursued. • • •
^liere was a great suspicion at one time about
tho United States and Canada — and we know, and
Werv one knows that if tho United States ware un-
Jut enough to invade Canada with theh; 40,000,000
cf population against the 4,000,000 In Caiwda, they

^a people of the United States axe not a party of
thlffveaandbuecaneezs; they are a free nation, and
luKve only been in war about four years, and I tliink
-'— «t least as regards half that time— they had as
xraeh justification for their wars as we have had, as
~ M I faww, for any of the was in which we have

BoBsia yevT MAsihly aX\ once pnt £jcypt outalde

understood to say Russia shall not occupy Con-
stantinople, though that was shutting Russia
oat of one of the commcmest rights — the taking
and occupying of the chief city j of anen^uy^s
Empire being ithe speediest mode of bringing
the war to a conclu3ion| • ! !
**I take it, that if the Knssiansisnccevd— and on
that I give no opinion — ^wbat shall bo the destiny of
Constantinople will be refeTxed to something like a.
general eotmcil of the powers of Europe. Russia has
sgain and afoin proclalme|d. by erery kind of way, by
every aolemnity of expression, that it Is not her in-
tention to attempt to oociipy Constantinople. [Hear,
hear.] They hare dedured that tha7 would not con-
tent that it ahould become tha poBaendcii of any
other of the great powers of Sorcm*. The Stxaits

tuppoMd influence of BngUnd, the Boivians— who

— mxe not aUowed to send any ihip of war from the
Black Sea to tha : Meditexranean, or to navimteany
ship of war from) the Hedltercacean to the Buck Sea.
The Straits are open to all nations, and wete opened
by the Kusaians nearlT lOO years ago, afterlthey had
been cJosad to the world fior 300 years by th» Turlu.
I hold the opening of the Straits to be aSsohitely in-
evitable ; and as to the oonditlons, the powera of
£arox>e would have no difficulty in iarrauKing tham.
Yon might make proTision that not more than one or
two ships, or a limited number, should ev«r be at one
time in the Straits between the two seas, and there-
fore Constantinople woiild be free from bombard-
ment from any £leet pasaihg down the channel."
In conchidixig his eomparatiTely brief but
eloquent revieiw of thB situation, thej famona
Idberal chieftain said :
" If the time should come — it might sot be remote
— ^when the future destiny of Constantinople will
have to be decided, whether the Turk remam there!
or the Greek return to the puiissiisiou of his anclentj
glory of power, it would become the Government of;
this country not to show the aelflghn&M of this
miserable jealousy, but wfith interest and courageous
advance to join the other: powers In the settlement
best for the future interest and peace of Europe.
Now, I began by sb owing: that we were a great Km-
pire. It becomes a great' State like this to set always
to the world a great and noble example. I quote a
passage from tne recent speech of Lord I)erby,
which contained a Bentini|ent which has my utmoatj
admiration and; my fullest concurrence. He said:]
' We must always remember that the greatest Britiahj
interest was the Interest of peace.' (Applause.l
At home what are we doing ? We are adrsncing tiie
working classes to the utmost of our power, ana en-
deavoring to obtain the greatest freedom for their'
industry. We are doing all we can to add comfort to
their homes, their tenements, and. their haarta. If
we do not interfere iu this war we shall be pleased
that we did not five years hence ; i£ we do interfere
we shall lament for the blood that , has been sacra;
fioed, for the treasure wasted, for the added disgrace
to Europe, and the humility in our statesmanship
we have bad to undergo. [Applause.] L<et us, thenj
in our foreign policy, be as wise as we are trying to
he in our home policy. X^t us try to be honest an4
just to other nations. The world moves but slowly,,
far too slowly for our ardent hope»— to its brightdi)

First Army Corps which I described many weeks
ago as under orders j for Egypt ia completed
TTie regiments I then ioamed formed part of thfe
troops reviewed by the Queen at Windsor ; the
same officers and men are now embarking In
the Euphrates, Crocodile, and other veswia.
Their immediate destination is said to be Malta;
the events of the next few w^ks will decide
where they may ultimately find their real worlk
lies. Portsmouth and Aldershot pr^nt uzj-
usual scenes of actiyity, and,| whatever it m
worth, the genexalbehef of the; local authoritic^
and the hope of the soldiers is that the forcep
now going out represent the vanguard of the
English Army. Yesterday the Duke of Consj-
bridge made his annual : inspectiou <a
the battalions of guards quartered at
the West End of London. Special interest
attached to the event on account of two bi^taj-
ions being under orders for foreign service, it
was observed that even among fbe Guards, thie
crack regiments of the Army, many of the men
are young and by no means up to the customary
physique of these splendid troops. Keverth^-
lesSt the marches past, first in^ double coliimnk
of companies, and aubaequeittly in mass oJC
coltmins, were eminently satisfactory. The or-
dinary brigade moTements that followed dem-
onstrated tne facility with which the Coni-
mander-in-Chlef can manceuvre troops irio
as to present a continual fep^ition
of fr^h - fronts to an enemy. Changes
of front with a| view to meet neV
assailants at anexpecoed points Were made with
a rapidity and steadiness that ; called forth the
admiration of critical lookers-bii. The new style
of attack introduced! into general orders some
months ago was illuistrated and tested. His
Eoyal Hi^neas carried out the principles of the
modem plan In their Integrity, ardently noting
the advantages and disadvantages of the phtfi
'With scrupulous care.. The leading idea of the
'•new attack^' is founkj in the first movement,
which is to selnd out sections instead oi the full
complement of companies to form the flghtixi|g
line, which is fed continuously from the r^maiifi-
der of the companies. I But it is urged by sup-
porters of the old sys^m that the maintenande
of files intact (the very backbone of all attacking
formations) is thus rendered very difficult to
the section leaders. |The Duke, however, tri^
the system thoroughly, with what satisfaction to
himself I am not iu a jposiUon to say, l|ut the re-
view was considered ijo be a great success. " |

ESTATE.
In the long pending eoid Intoresting suit in
the Spedsl Term of the Supreme Coort, of Catharine
Kesta Bn;iisnK>re TBAa, better known as the " Coon-
tegaH«iQrath,";axiattraettve and fashionable lady
who rssided op town* sgaiast tha estato of the late
Daniel Marley, formerly a well-known dealer in ar-
tistie frnniture mod rare woi^ of art on Broadway,
Judge Van Brant yesterday gave an opinion dlt-
misring the i ooi^pUdnt. The suit waa brought by
the " Countess *' to set asi^ a bond and a release
which she had glvan to ICr. Marley, and for an ac-
counting for tiansaotlons between them for a num-
ber of years, the "Countess" claiming that there
was a balance due her of from $50,000 to $60,000,
and that she had given the release under a mlscon-
ceptlpn of jitsl lmx>ort. The '* Countess" was pos-
sessed of a great nnmbv of diamond rings, necklaces,
brooches, Sn^, \ and hsir residence waa luxuriously
furnished. Mr| Marley, it appears, had prior to Jxme
23, 1863. sold her a large qnanttty of faxnitnre, on
which tiwre was k balance due him, and «a account
stated between {the parties on that date showed it to
b«$7,587 07,andtwodaT8Aft6rwardthe "Countess"
»ve a mortgage to Mr. Marley for 48,587,07. She
clafans that this shows $1,000 that ought to be
credited in her favor, and which was not, and that
there should also be credited to her a receipt fclven to
her by Mr. Marley for $1,500, dated Oct. ^2, 1862 ;
a drift upon Duncan, Sherman & Co. for $1,500,
dat«d Oct. 23, 1802 ; $1,500 whieb she alleged was
due from Mx- Marley in June, 16G3, and various
other sums, which she claimed that Mr. Marley, with
whom she aaid she deposited money at varioTis timeSi
he acting as her bauer, waa indebted to her« Ja
support of her case she presented various receipts,
and also a paper purporting to liave been executed
by Mr. Marley a short time before his death, in
which he agreed to repay to the *' Countess" about
the amount which she claims his estate is indebted to
her, and to return the release and the bond, which It
was one of the main objects of tha suit to have set
aside.
Judge Tan Brunt, in his opinion, says that the case
was one of the most remarkable that ever came un-
der his observation. The plaintiff, upon the trial,
had presented a case which appeared to he very
strong until it was subjected to a close analvsis, when
it Iwame appai^ut that most of the evlaence was
made qp of nlsifted accounts, which had been pre-
pared with so much art as to entirely escape the at-.
tention of Counsel for the plalntUf. Almost every
paper 'preseatJBd by tha plaintiff upon which a
claim of credit not auowed by Mr. Martin,
the Executor of Mr. Marleys estate, was
founded, was mutilated in some respect.
Either the date was written over an erasure, the
paper blotted with some peculiar orownish sub-
stance, or a memorandum of Impoxtauce connected
with th<^ entering of a credit would be missing.
Judffe van Brunt here goes into an exhaustive
analysifilof the various written evidences of indebt-
edness presented by the " Countess " to show that
they were fraudulently prepared. In relation to the
teatimony of the ' ' Countess " on the trial, Judge Van
Brant says, tfaat Mr. Marley being dead, aad the evi-
dence of the falslflcatton of the accounts being so
great, no credence could be given to the testimony of
Che party claiming under them. Judge Van Brunt
said he I had not considered the export testimony
given on the trial, becauss^e thonght that such tes-
timony was tha most dangerous that could be per-
mitlea to be I oiTered in a court of justice, and
shotUd always be acmtinlxed with the greatest
jeaJiousyL Tbe plaintiff had attempted, under the
forms of law, to steal from a dead man's estate a
large su^ of money, with a boldness and skill seldom
equalledi. The complaint must, he said, be dismissed
with costs, and an extra allowance of $2,000 made to
defendanta j
The counsel for plaintiff werej Messrs. Albert Hick-
ney and 'John A. Wright, audi Judge Van Brunt, in
conciadln^ his opinion, absolves them from any
knowledge of their client's fraudulent presentation of
documentary evidettca.

The August torm of the Court of General
Sessions waa opened yesterday by Judge Sutherland.
•A large nnmbar of priaon cases were on the calendar,
and were promptly disposed of by Assistant District
Attorney Hflrrtng. Mr. Charles H. Isham. of No.
329 Fith-avenue, was selected iiy the court to act as
foreman of the Grrand Jury. Judge Sutherland, in
charging the members of the Grand Innnest, said
that he was not aware of anything which had oc-
curred in the City since the impRnellng of the last
Grand Jury which called for any specijd mention
from him. There had been a great deal of excite-
ment all oyer the country ; but, fortunately, he
was not cognizant of any act of vio-
lence or unlawful matter within the jurisdiction
which required special comment. His Honor then
directed the attention of the Grand Jury to all viola-
tions of the Excise, Usury. I«ottery, Election, Obscene
Literature and other laws, as defined In the statutes,
and dismissed them to their deliberations. The ses-
sion of the Grand Jury will probably not exceed two
weeks, as is customary dtiring the oeated term, and
will be devoted mainly to the disposition of the casta
which have accumulated in the Tombs. Forty-eight
of the gentlempn summoned to attend as jurors
failed to respond to their names at the calling nf the
roll yesterday. Judge Sutheriand directed that a
fine of $250 each be imposed on the delinquents.
Among the names of the absentees was that of Jay

4^
East Twelfth-street, was arrested yeatorday
morning for cutting Valentine Lelstermann, of No.
64Rivington-6tre«t,withntahleknife. IJeistermann's
account of the affair condemnrltfm at once as a per-
son utterly destttuto of character. He says he called
npon Miss Wetzal and that she asked him to many
her, to whieh ihe replied that time* were too hard ; h«
could not affoicd it. Subsequently, while they were
seated upon a bed, acting in a manner which he de-
seribes, but Irhlch will not bear repeating, he says
she seized spmethtng— what, he does not knew —
and cut ^^w. After being cut, Lelstermann
went to his home, 'ttien to the station-house to
make complaint, and from there to Bellevue Hospi-
tal, where ne now lies. The i woman had a private
examination by Justice Kil.breth in the Essex Mar-
ket Court yesterday aft<*noon. and was by him
baUed to awMt a formal complaint when Leister-
manu shall liave recovered. She is a German woman
about 28 vaars old, and unmarried. She says she
formerly Uved with her rister, but since the litter's
marriage some four months ago had lived alone,
carrying on har business. Lelstermann had for
some time been Intimate with her family- When
he called on Sundav night her sister was with her.
They were in the sitting-room. Her sister left soon
to go home, and had no sooner done so than Lelster-
mann caught her [Louisa] in his arms, carried her to
an adjoining room, threw her on her bed and ac-
complished his design. She screamed, sailed a knife
from a shelf within refch, and cut him. Her sister
says that after she had left the room she heard Louisa
scream, and west back 8he met Lelstermann eoisg
out of the door adjusting his: clothes. He did not
speak. There is a candor in the woman's recital
which seems to give considerable credit to her ston'-
Leistermann's injuries will not be fatal, but he will
be maimed for life.

A i^EW WAY OF swiyDLiya.
L. C. De Montainville, a well-dressed young
Fvenchmsln, was yesterday brought before Justice
Smith at the Tombs Police Court by Detective King,
of the Central Of^ce, on compliaint of Charles S. Hig-
g^ns, the sopp manufacturer. About two weeks aso
the defendant went to Mr. Higgins' office, at No. 76
'Wall-street, and represented himself as an agent of
the Freneb Government on a visit to this country for
the purpose of collectln2 material for a report upon
the industries of America to be used at the Paiis Ex-
hibition of 3.880, and said that if Mr. Higgins would
like a translation of the report be conid have It for
$15. The money was paid and a few days ago Mr.
Higgins receiver? what purported to be a translation of
the report. He pronouncea It indifferent and of no
value whatever. He made complaint to the French
Consul in this City and learned that his was the
two hundred and ninety-third ease that had been
ibrought to the attention of the Consul, and that
MbntainviUe had no authority whatever to act in the
name of the French Government. It is estimated
that over 800 of these reports have boon dis-
tributed in this City alone at $15 apiece,
and many hundreds more throughout the State,
^ontainville lives at No. AOS Sbcth-avenue, has an ,
ofQce at No. 680 Broadway, where he was found '
without any ! dlfflcolty by Officer King. He has a
partner named Sdouard Stemheime, who is now
iuFaris. About 50 merchants who have paid for
and received these translated reports have joined
with Mr. H*^»** in the proaecutioo. The prisoner,
who speaks English wltn difllculty, deDie^i that he
represented himself as an agent of the French Gov-
ernment, bqt as the editor of a report for the
Frezich Government. Justice Smith remanded him
for examination at 10 o'clock X. M. to-day at the
Tombs. ' _

MargarOf Stoi^iJ ft
woman of i 3 years, was pil^sod at the bar of the
Coturtftf 6<n«a:al Senloos, yesterday, to answer a
charge of g and larceny. The case Was prolonged to
an Intolerable extent, owing to the loquacity of the
complainant^ Mrs. Jane "VS^llard, whose flow of
8pee<^ defied the control ofil Judge Sutherland and
the lawyezs on both sides, aiiid Irapt tha court in a
roar cf laughter, xhich It waa almost impossible to
snppreas. Mrs. WUlard swojre that In purstiance of
an agreement between hersdf and Miss Smith, who
was anxlouj i to start a bouding-hoose, She removed

was to take effect on July 1. and on that day Mrs. Wil-

her a tmnJ : containing her blanliets. Mrs. Willard
slept in on' of the parlors that night, and on arising

Mrs. WUlard remained in [the house five months
after this Uansaction, during which time she missed
sevsoal oth^ articles of property, and finally bad
Misa Smith arrested. On,! cross-examination the

vtory closely as to tho exact hour at which she arose
on the motning of tho alleged theft. " I got up

Miss Smltq deniad the oifensa, but admitted to As-

OiUmor*, LieuumanC-Coionid Enginttrg, VnUed Utate*
Army. — ^The record exhibits, that immediately above
the City of Savannah the river is divided by Hutchin-
son's Island, atul that ther^ is a natural channel on
each side of tlie island, both meeting at the head-
The obstruction complalm^ of is at the point of
di^'ergenca betvveen the two chaunels, and its pur-
pose and pirobftble effect arejto Improve the southern
channel aft the eipeuAe of tie northern by increasing
the flow ol water through the former, thus incfftasing
its depth 0 od water-way, a^j also the scouring effecU
of the current. Tbe actipn of the defendants is
not, thenforo, the destruction of the navigation
of the river. Tme. it Is obstxocting the
vrater-way of one of its ciiannels, and compelling
uavigatioE to tise the other;6bannel, hut it is a means
employed :o n-nder navigation of the river more con-
venient— ( mode of impr6|vBment not uncommon.
The two c lannels are tout two rivers, and closing one
forthe Imjrovement of thejother ia in no just or le-
gal sense ( estroying or impeding the navigation. If
It were, e\ ery itmcture erected iu the bed of ttie
river, wht ther in the chanixel or not, would be an
obstmctio a. It might be a lighthouse erected on a
sabmergm sand- bank or a Jetty pushed out into the
stream to narrow the waj|pr-way and increase the
depth of water and th» direction and force
of the mrrent, or the pier of a bridge
standing wiiere vessolsjl now pass, and where
they can pass only at vory high" water.
The luip tdiments to navigation caused by such
structure vre, it is true, in jque sense obstructions to
navigatioi , but so far as they tend to facilitate com-
merce, it a not claimed that they are tuilawf ul. In
what reap K!t. except In degree, do they differ from
tho acts ind constructions of whicli the plalntiif
complains 1 All of them aTJS obstructions to the nat-
ural flow of the river, yet all, except the pier, are
improvem mts to its navigability, and consequently
they add i ew facilities to the conduct of commerce.
It is not, 1 owever, to be conceded that Congress has
no power to ord»;r obstructions to be placed In the
navigable waters of the United States, either to
assist nav gation or to change its direction by forcing
it into 0 1* channel; of a river rather than the
other. It may build light-houses in tbe b«d of the
stream- '. t may construct jetties ; it may require all
navigator to pass along a' prescribed channel, and
may dose any other channel to their passage. If. as
wohave s dd, the United States have succeeded to
the powei and rights of th^ several States, so far as
control o^ er inter-.State andforeign commerce is con-
Cf^med, tHs is not to be doubted. Might not the
States of South (Jarolina, and Georgia, by mutual
agreemen' , have constructed a dam a<!ro8S the cross-
tides between Hutchinson and Argyle Islands, and
thus have confined the navigation of the Savannah
River to t le southern chaniel ? Miaht they not have
doner thu before they surrendered to the Federal
Govemmi nt a portiun of their sovereignty 1
Might tley not have constructod jetties or
manipulai ed the river so titat commerce
could hav 1 been carried on exclusively through the
southern i hannel on [the .sou*h side of Hutchinson's
Island ■' t is not tl] ought ^;hat these questions can
be auswei ?d In the negative. Then wliy may not
Compress, succeeding as It has done to the authority
of the States, do the Bame thing? Why may It not
confine tha navigatidn of the river to the chanc»'l
south of I Lutchtnson's Island, and why is not this a
regulatioi of commerce, if commerce includes navi-
gation * tVe think It ia such a regulation.
Upon tl ese facts, j the decision is In substance as
follows : The compact between South Carolina and
Geoigia n ode Lm 17i^7, by -tjvhich it was agreed that
the^bount ary between the two States ahould be the
northern iraneh or stream, of the Savannah River,
and that 1 he navigation of the river along a specified
channel s loiUd forever be tiqu&lly free to tho citizens
of both S ales, and exempt from hindrance, inter-
ruption, ( r molestatloi^ attempted to be enforced by
one State on the citizens of another, has no effect
upon the snbsequoht constitutional provision that
Congress shall h:ive powbr t«| regulate commerce
with fore sn nations and amon^ the several States.
Congress nas the same power over the Savanuali
Hlver tha t it has over the other navigable waters of
the United Stste.s. The right to regulate commerce
hicludes 1 he right to regulsile navigation, and hence to
regulate i nd Improve navigable rivers and ports on
such rivtrs. iCongress haS power to close one of
several cl annels in a navigable stream. If, in its judg-
ment, th jrebir the navigation of the river will bo
improved . It [may declare that an actual obstruc-
tion Is not, |m the view of tbe law, an illegal
one. An appropriation for the improvement
of a harbor or a navigable river, "to be
expended under the directitm of the Secretary
of War." confers upon that offlcer the discretion to
determine the; mode of improvement, and authorizes
his diven ion of the water from one channel into
another. : f in b« judgmont such is the best mode.
Such a dl rersion Is iiot givlbg preference to tho ports
of one St ite oyer those of l^other. Query, whether
a State 81 iiig for the prevention of a nuisance on a
navigable rivear whidi is one of its boundaries, mu.»tt
not aver and I show that she sustains some special
and peculiar injury thereby, such as would enable a
Srivate p ;rson to maintaip. a similar action. Mr.

State wlere the tide ebbs and flows, when its own
citizens have tliat privilege. The principle
has lo ig ' been settjicd in this court

Stetes OT Tl ti^ tidc-watersj themselves, and the ti^b
in them, so far as they are capable of ownership

Dropriafimlij;ln effect n^ihinii; more than areola-
T, i^Tfr
ttou of tha use by the people of tketr eooimou prop-
erty. Tie right which the people of the State thus
acquire come* not from uieir eitiienaldp alone,
but from their cdtizenship and property com-
bined. It Is. in fact, a property rixht, and not
a mere privilege or Immunity of citlzeuahip.
By article TV., section 2, of the Constitution, the
c^hsens of each State " are entitled to all privilege
and immunities of citiTens in the several States."
Mr. Justice Washington in Corfield vs. Cornell, 4
Wash. C. C. R., 380, thought that thLs prorisiou
extended only to such privileges and. immunities as
are " in their natu^ fundamental: which belong of
right to the citizens of all fieegovemmente ;" and
Mr. Justice Curtis, in Scott vs. Sand-
ford, 19 How., 580. described them as
such " as beloneed to general citizenship."
But usually when this pro\-ision of the Constitotion
has been und^ consideration the courts have mani-
fested the disposition which this court did in Conner
vs. Elliott, 18 How., 593— not to attempt to^define
the words, but rather to leave their meaning to be
determined in each case upon a view of the partlcu-
hur rights asserted or denied therein. TIlIb dearly
is uie safer course to pursue, when, to
use the language of Mr. Justice Curtla
in Conner vs. Elliott, "we' are dealing
with so broad a provision, involving matters not
only of great deucacy and' importance, but which
are of such a character that any merely at>stract
definition could scarcely be correct, and a failure to
make it so would certainly produce mischief." Fol-
lowing, then, this salutary rule, and looking only to
tlie p^ticiUar right wiiichis here asserted, we think
we may safely say that the dtizena of one State
are not invested by this clause of the Constitu-
tion with any interest in the conunon
Sroperty of the citizens of another State.
' Virginia hod by law provided for the sale of her
once vast public domain, anU a division of the pro-
ceeds among its own people, no one, we venture te
say, would contend that nie citizens of other States
hflid a constitutional right to the enjoyment of this
privil^e of Virginia citizenship. Neitner If, instead
of selling, the State hod appropriated the same prop-
erty te be used as a common bklta people for the
purposes of agriculture, couId\the citizens of
other .States avail themselveaX of sn(dL a
privilege. And the reason is edtvious ; the
right thus granted is not a jKrivU^e or
immunity of eeneral, but of special dtiienshipv It
does not " belong of right to the citizens of all free
Governments," but only to the citizens of
on account of the peculiar circumstances in^luch
they are placed- They, and they alone, owned\th6
property to be sold or used, and they alone luld
power to dispose of it as they saw fit. They owm
It, not by ^■irtue of citizenship merelv, but of citizen-
ship and domicile united, that is to say, by virtue of
a citizenship confined to that particular locality.
The planting of oysters in tha soil covered by
water owned in common by the people of the State is
not different in principle from that of planting com
upon dry land held in the same way. Both are for
the purposes of cultivation and profit, and if the
State, ill the regulation of iU public domain, can
grant to ite own citizens the exclusive iwe of dry
lands, we see no reason why it may not do the same
thing in respect to such as are covered by water.
And, OS all concede that a State may grant to one of
its citizens the exclusive use of a part
of the common property, the conclusion would
seem to follow that it might by appropriate
legislation confine tne use of the whole to its own
people alone. Neither do we think this case is at all
affected by the clause of the Constitution which con-
fers power on Congress to regulate commerce. (Article
1, section 8.) There is no question of transportation
or exchance of commoditias, bnt only of cultivation
and production. Commerce has nothing to do with
land while producing, but only with the product
after it has become toe subject of trade. Mi^inia,
owning land under water adaped to the pro-
pagation and improvement of oysters, has seen
fit to grant the exclusive use of it for
that purpose to the citizens of the State.
In this way the people of Virginia may be enabled to
produce what tho people of the other States canuot,
out that is because they own property which the
others do not. Their productions do not roring from
commerce, but commerce, to some extent, from them.
We are unable to agree with the counsel for the plain-
tiff iu error in his argument Uiat the right of planting
may be enforced as a privilege or inter-
Stale citizenship, even toough that of taldng cannot.
Planting means in "oystermanic phraseoiogj-, " as
counsel say, "deposited with tho intent that the
oysters shall remam until they are fattened." Tlie
oDjoct is. therefore, to make use of the soil and the
water above it for the improvement and growth of
that which is planted. It is this use, as has already
been seen, that the State has the right, by reason of
its ownership, to prohibit. The jud^^ent ia affirmed.

No. 177 — George A. Thompson^ claimant of the
tteam-hig ifarfjaret, appellant, vs. Charles F. SlUs,
AUccatuier O. iitirch, and Frederick VT. JSruce. — ^Ap-
pL'ttl from the Circuit Court of the United States for
the Ea.>*tem District of Wisconsin. — This is a cause
in admiralty. The lil>el alleges that the tug Margaret,
In towing the brig Mochauic into the Port of Racine,
in Wisconsin, conducted the process so carelessly and
unskillfully that the brig and cargo were sunk. This
proceeding was in.-<tituted to recover damages for the
loss sustained iby the libelant.s. The entrance into
the harbor is at the mouth of Root River. It has
been improvo«l by two piers. One of them Is
on the north aud tlie other on the south
side. They are parallel to e.ich other, and
extending into the lake in a direction nearly due
east, the north one runniuc nut about 330 feet fur-
ther than the south one. The distance from the in-
side of the ou'er end of tho south pier directly
across to the inside of the north pier is 238 feet. At
the entrance to the harbor, and for some disteuce
further west than the ea.*it end of tbe south pier, the
chaiine) ran close along the south side of the north
pier. It waa about 75 feet wide. South of the chan-
nel, between it aud the south pier, and opposite to
the end of that pier, there was a bar with shoal wa-
ter upon it. Jnst inside of the north pier the depth
of water in the cliaunel was 151^ feet. Prom there
to a point a long distance within the plozs it varies,
but the depth was nowhere leas thnu 13*a feet.
Tlie depth tipou the bar before mentioned was nine
and a half feet. The brig, at the time o$ tlie disaster,
drew 10 feet. The wind at the port, was north-
westerly, and was a light breeze. At the mouth of
the harbor ground swells came in from the lake.
They were met by the undertow of the river. This
increasecl the commotion of the waters. The highest
swells broke over the end of the south pier, which
was five feet above the ordinary water-levet This
height of the swells was due to tho sliallowneas of
the water there. The Uarborma-ster says ia his tes-
timony ; "As near as I could judge, the swells
came up on the soutb pier. Qu the north
flier they were not so high. The south pier
s where the shoal water is." Speaking
of tho oh-innol hard by tho nortli pier,
he says : " I should think there was about half the
swell there tlwt there was on the south side of tho
harbor." Another witness (Roc.. pace,23.) says : '■ I
should say there was not ov«r 20 Incnes rise, and fall
on the mean levoL " Such was the state of things to
be. encountered by the two vessels in en-
tering t^e harbor when the casuality set
forth In the libel occurred. On the 27th
of November, 1^69. the brig left the port of
Suamico with a cai\o of lumber for the port of Ba-
cine. Sho arrived off the latter port about noon on
the 30th of that month, and at once signaled for tbe
tug to come out and tow ber in. The tug obeyed the
signal. When she reached the brig, the latter waa
lymg about a mile and a half north-east from the
mouth of the harbor. The tug approached
the brig on her starboard side. The
Captain of the brig inquired of the Captein of
tbe tug whether there whs "much swell on."
The latter answered " Nd." The Captain of the brig
said his vessel drew 10 feet of water. At the same
time the linesman on the tug called for a line, and it
was handed to lilm over the starboard bow. With
reference to the wind where the vetiseis then were, the
Captain of the brig says " there was a kind <»f a dead
swell; there was no sea J there was very little t/ind."
On these poiut,s there is no controversy between the
parties. The line was attached t<i the starboard side
of the brig. Subsequently another line was fastened
to the port side, and botli lines were so shortened as
to bring the tug and the tow Into close proximity.
'Fhere is an irreconcUnble conflict iu the testimony as
to the time when the second line was applied and
when the lines were shortened. The result was that
the brig broke away from the toff and was stranded
and sunk. The decision is that the tug knew all the
dangers, and was responsible for all the consequences.
Aflirmed. Mr. Justice Swayne delivered the opinion.
No. 913— 77i« Citu of JfejnpAw. appellant and
plairUif in error, vs. T. E. Broirn.— In error to and
appeal from the Circuit Court of the United Stetes
for the Western District of Tenne»K>e. — Upon a pe-
tition for mandamus iu the Circuit Court of the
United States for the Western Distri'^t of Tennes.'see.
Brown rwovorod judgment March 30. 1875, against
the City of Memphis, direciinc tlie le^-y of a tax for
his benefit upon all the taxable property of the city.
Under the laws of Tennessee, taxable personal aud
real pn>perty, other than merch;uits' capital, is em-
braced in one tex-Ust and merchants' capital in an-
otber. In March, 1876, Brown discovered that the
Tax Collector was collecting the t«x levied for his
account on personal and real property, but not ou
merchants' capital, olthougli the city, for all other
purposes, was coHecting a tax on merchants' capItsL
It appearing that the tax upon the persoual and real
propertv alone would uot bo sufficient to raise the
required sum, h motion was m&dc in the original
suit by Brown for a further peremptery mandamus
requiring the city to include in the property to be
taxed for his benefit the taxable merotiante' c^pijAl,
as returned and assessed for taxatiim for other pur-
poses in the year 1875. This motion was granted
March 2, 1876, and a judgment entered accordingly.
Afterward, during the same term, May 20, the city
appeared and moved the court to set a«ide the
order of March 2, but this motion was refused
and that order re-entered as the final judgment
of the court In the premises. On the same day a
writ of error was sued out upon this last judgment
and a supersedeas perfected. Brown now moves to
dismiss upon t lie ground that the judgm^it of March,
1875, is tho final juclcmeut in the action, and tliat
the onK-ra of Marcii 2 and if oy 20, 1 876, cannot be
ro-exonilneU upon a writ of error. If, however, it Is
held tliat the writ does properly bring up these
orders, then he asks that the supersedes may be
vacated, as the juilgment complained of was,
as he claims, rendered March 2, and the writ
was not sued out within GO days thereafter.
We think that the order made upon the motion
to subject merchants' capitel to the tex waa such a
final judgmenv as may be bmoght here for re-exaou-
nation by a writ of error. Tho preclie question de-
cided by that order had never before been presented
iu the cause. The city was then for the first time
required in express terras to subject thin particular
class of property to the adjudced taxation. The
writ was, therefore, properly sued out- upon the
judgment. Under the ruling in Brockelrfc vs. Brock-
ett, 2 How,, 241, the motion- made during the .terra
to Bet aside the judgment of March 2 suspended' "the
operation of that judgment, so that it did not teke
final effect for the purposej* of a writ of error until
May 20. when the motion was disposed of.
In addition to this the form of entry of May 20 Is
equivalent to netting aside the judgment of March 2,
and entering It anew as of that date. This the eoort
had the right to do during the term, (Sage vs. R.
R.. 93 U. H.. 419.) and for the very purpose of giv-
ing it effort for a supersedeas. As the writ was is-
sued on the day of the order, and its allowance em-
hx^eed fai the entrr xeeordhig the ocder iUaU, then
eennot be any donht of the Intentkm of the eonri to
give the jutaient at that time saeh an cf act. The
motions to dismias and to vacate the supersedeas are
both denied. TbA C^ief rJustioe deliT«cM the opinioa.

TBE GliOWTB OF ABAKDOXMEXT CASES.
Cases of abandonment are becoming so numer^
ous In the Essex Market Court that Justice Kilbroth
remarked to a reporter yesterday that there was not a
husband left in the ward against whom a charge had
not been mado. Soon after saying this he listened to
the recital of Lena Shlllack's grievances. Her story
WRS told with the utmost precision and coolness.
She bad been married about five months, during the
last four of which her husband had failed to support
her. He wa.s a butcher by trade, bnt did no business,
and was continually borrowing money from her
brother and others, buying goods of some kind toped-
ille in the country, leaving her, meanwhile, without
money, which obliged her to go to her parente for food.
From these trips be would return without cither
money or goods. To the.^ and various other accusa-
tions Jacob auswered that he was not o^y willing
but anxious to support his wife. The whole trouble
lay ill the mother-in-law. with whom ahe wanted to
live. He arose early every morning and bou^t two
papers. (German and English,) and searched thom
through in . his frantic efforts to obtain work His
wife'would be wilUnff to see him steal so that he pro-
vided her with all the money she wanted. Recurring
a^ain to his experience as a sou'in-law. he said :
"Your Honor, I ain't the flmt Bpecimen. There
were two others before me married two dan«:hter8 of
hers, and they had to take a broomsUck and beat her
out of the house." This seemed to impress the court
with the importance of the case, and it was adjourned,
for further hearing till Monday. Jacob being charged
to continue, in the interim, devouring his two
papers and to fiud work.
TBE ATLANTIC MVTVAL LIFE.
Justice Westbrook has rendered the following
opinion in the matter of the Atlantic Motnal Life
Insurance Company. nnnn-nt>i»ing the ajqxiintment of
a Receiver :
In two carefully considered opinions, (McArdlo vs.
Barney and others, 50 How., 97, see page 103, 104:
in the matter of Carman, Receiver Third-Avenoe
Savings Bank, 50 How., 22.) the propriety of the ap-
pointment of a Receiver from the offleers or Direc-
tors of a diseoWed corporation was con-
sidered, and a conclusion adverse to the
propriety of such appomtment waa rextdered.
Reflection upon applications which have been
made to me In this mattor, the one In behalf of an
oC5cer, and auother of a Director, has satisfied me
that the conclusion reached in the cases to which I
have referred should be adhered to. I do not know
tliat in the management of this company ta the paat
anj-thiug has occurred wbich would make an inquiry
into the action of officers or Directors necaaaary.
Tliere may be, however, and the Receiver wbo is to
make the Investiccatlon should not pass judgment
upon his own conduct. For this zeaaou, then, no
officer or Director of the company cjui be appointed.
In tho selection of the Receiver I have preferred to
name for the position a person whom I know to be
QuaUfleil, rather than one with whom I have no si>e-
cial scquainta&ee. though recommended by vahied
friends, in whose judgment I have confidanee. The
Rejection made of Mr. Edward Newoomb ta of my
own volition, and becaoae I feel that tbe tr«at ia fas
hands will be carefully administered. '

"•/ Our special cable dispatches to-day reflect
Snore accurately than has yet been done the
impression made on the leading European
Governments by the recent Kussian
reverses. They also show that the
very competent correspondent of The
Times, who early in the struggle
pointed out that if 150,000 Russians at-
tempted to force the second line of Turkish
defense and to reach Adrianople, very few
of them would be able to return, is now of
opinion that the s€'ries of battles around
Plevna last vineek are decisive of the prospects
of the campaign. This trained observer
gives a poor estimate of the quality of the
Russian soldiers, and a still poorer one
of the men by whom they are led-
His critieism on the blimdering strategy
of the Russian Generals has been am-
ply verified by recent event.s, and the
Bnnonncement which comes from another
correspondent that Gen. Gourkho has been
driven to the northern side of the Balkans,
instead of simply retiring a Uttlo from the
advanced position held by him, affords
sonfiimatiou to our corresiKindent's theory
that another 'j campaign will be need-
ed, to reach . Adrianople. That Russia
must fight it out on this line if it takes two
years, is tolerably obvious. Her military
prestige has suffered a shock which it is al-
^nost a question of national existence for
•her to retrieve, and the very last resources
of the Empire will undoubtedly be exhaust-
ed beifore she can submit to the humiliating
necessity of owning herself overmatched
by/Turkey.
' 'There is soqtething more than usually
mean and contemptible in the style of war-
fare adopted by the Blaine clique of politi-
cians in regard to Secretary Schurz. That
set has not, as a rule, been remarkable for
pursuing politicswithatotal disregard of pe-
ouniary emolument, and if its members have
been able to give their services to the Na-
tional Committee free of expense, it has
ibeea in virtue of their command
of money earned by methods of
which they have, as a whole, little reason
to be proud. The impartial observer
will be disposed to regaprd the poverty which
compelled Mr.; Schcpjs to take payment for
ijs campaign! services as decidedly more
honorable than the competency wliich placed
Bkrewder and more calculating statesmen
a)iove the necessity of making any such de-
mands. In any ease, Mr. Schurz is entitled
"to belief when he states that his campaign
labors latt him very decidedly out of pocket.
As a general thing, the political experience
of the PJlaine school has been quite the re-
verse-of this.
The text of the requisition made by Gov.
"WliUAMS for Federal aid to suppress do-
znefitio violence in his State is given in our
■Washington dispatches, and as a historical
document is^decidedly curious. This dfeter-
irdned opponent of the use of Federal troops
in any possible contingency of State affairs
Nvas among the most urgent of the Guber-
natorial applicants for their aid, and this
rigorous oonstruotionist of the Constitution
paid the least possible regard to the forms
to be observed in conveying to the President
hia inability to preserve the peace by the
forces at his own disposal. Among the
political humbugs, of oar time, there has
bardly been a more consummate one than
'"Bine Jeans " "WnxiAMS, and his deplora-
'ble lack.of the qualities required in the Ex-
ecativa of a State ought to be a lesson to
the perople who expect some special type of
public virtue from the politicians who affect
a mstio simplicity in dress and deportment
as a cloak for a good deal of vulgar sohem-
log and selfish ambition.
/ In anotiier colnmn a well-informed cor-
respondent gives some interesting details re-
garding the income and capital stock of the
HetiopoUtan Underground Railway of Lon-
jdaai. The moral of the fignree agrees with.
/yhijjTm tMMa. Mitsanentl^arsed ia tlteM^L
ooloibu, that the problem of rapid iiransitl in

Bolvc^ by the adoption of the undj

of the Metropolitan CorpoKitiotL that : "In

attribute to-a silver coinage fare tetter tha^
thel effort io increase the greenbacks ian^
to enlarge their fun.'tioii, :t can only bel bej-
eause its advocates surteed in hiding their
real designs. We jaunot hope to eliminate
from financial discussion the tenns " credi-
toil interest " and " debtor interest," bujt
surely there is intelligence enough to resitjt
the notion! that thcjo interests are alpvays
antagonistic, and tjlint the debtor class is
made np mainly, oE ktiavjes. The hypoth-
esis, absurd and disgraceful as it is,
underlies the advocacy of silver. Starting
with the fict that there are more debtors
than creditors, and that a debtor discharges
his indebtedness with the currency that is
most cheaply obtained, it is assumed that
this whole class may be relied upon to sus-
tain the silver movement. So far, the re-
semblance to the greenback faction is
complete. I Both presuppo.se that in a
contest between honesty and dishonesty,
the latter will bo found, numerically,
much the stronger. The greeubackers,
however, idespised circumlocution. They
appealed plainly to llie basest motives, and
proposed to legi.slate a large percentage of
indebtedness out of existence. They would
have so cheapened the currency as to ren-
der the pi^ooess simjjle and sure. The silver
people, oih the other jhand, beat about
the bnsi a good deal, keeping put
of sight! the iultimajte cooseqn^nces
of their plan, ami trying, after! the
manner of the Republiciins at Cleveland, to
invest it with characteristics wi ich id can-
not possess. The only chance of success is
in the ability of the managers t o play suc-
cessfully this game of false preteuses. ! Let
them state their ease bluntly, as the green-
backers did, and their capacity for mischief
would be instantly curtailed. Ti > winj they
must delude the cc^uutry into the belief that
the oonditlions attached to their proposition
purge it from all taint of repudiation, i

munioatian which we prujt eUewnei^^ weU-
infonqed correspondent discusses this phase
of' the subject with admirable cleanleSs and
force. He exposes the absurdity of jlhle pre-
tense that the Coinage aet of 1^78 wjas an
invasion of popular rigjht in the matter of
cnrreney, and he proves the impossibility of
keeping i;old and silver ^ ciroiQation side
by side. The truth is that the bi-metallic

^
the operation of natnral business laws long
bSore Congress legislated it away. The
amount of silver dollars coined never had
bepn large, and what there were of them
Ua^ passed out of circulation. Coin contracts
were invariably fulfilled with gold. All the
talk about " the dollar of our fathers " is,
then, nonsense. We should never have
lieard of it had not events changed the rela-
tive value of the two coins, and thus fur-
nished a dishonest motive for the reintro-
dnction of silver as a legal ten'der. But
silver and gold are to be interchangeable,
the Ohio wiseacres say, and therefore no harm
can be done to creditors. Our correspondent's
reply to the plea should shame its authors
into silence. Left to the natural order of
things, the silver coinage would soon be the
only coinage known. Gold would be, as
now, an article of merchandise, and, meas-
ured by the world's standard, our currency
after silver resumption would fluctuate pre-
cisely as at present. Suppose, however,
that the law-making power undertakes
by constant tinkering to keep the gold
dql]ar and the silver dollar equal
in I value. Only in one way can
it I !be done. The gold coinage will be
subject to continnaLdebasement. The gold
dollar will have less and less intrinsic value.
That is what the Ohio plea of equalization
mieans. It would perpetuate a depreciated
currency, in view of which fact Mr. Sher-
man might spare himself further trouble
concerning specie resumption. The green-
back as now quoted in the market is
worth, say, ninety-five cents, and as a
silver dollar of the old standard of fineness
and weight is worth only about ninety-one
and a half cents, measured by gold, we
sliauld be better off witli our present cur-
rency than with the silver which it is pro-
posed to legalize. To urge it as an aid to
resumption is to ignore our own financial
history, and to encourage a movement which
points to business disaster and national dis-
grace. '
TBE SITUATION IX BULGARIA.
It is recorded that a Russian artillery of-
ficer of the old school, being reprimanded by
hp superior for the inefficacy of his fire,
shewed where the real fault lay by coolly
piclking np a lighted shell and holding it in
his arms while the ill-made fuze burned it-
self harmlessly out. A similar fate has be-
fallen the two insurrections from which so
milch was expected. The pro-Russian rising
in Bulgaria has collapsed in universal panic ;
.ano of the anti-Russian rising in the Cau-
casus, nothing remains save the 6,000
wejaried Turks whom Hobart Pasha dragged
on board of his squadron the other day just
in time to save them from their pursuers.
In neither case is this raortifj-ing result to
be wondered at. Despite many instances
of individual bravery, the iron of op-
pri!s.sion has entered too deeply into
Bulgaria's soul to leave her much of the
fierce valor that shook the throne of the
Coinneni ; and upon the natives of the Cau-
casus their conqueror's '• Russianizing "
policy has produced its natural effect.
Prince Scheevasciiidzb, the representative
of one of the oldest Georgian families, sits
at a desk in the official bureau of Baron
X1C01.AI. One of Schamyl's own sons is a
subaltern in the Russian Army. The ex-
Kiiig of Georgia himself may bo seen
strolling down to the Russian Club at Tiflis
any fine afternoon, with a tall hat on and a

The recent reverse which the Russian
campaign in Europe, like that in Asia, has
suddenly sustained in the very moment ef
its eompletest success, bears a curious par-
allelism to the French invasion of Germany
in 1796. Gen. MoreaU had penetrated
deep into the enemy's country by way of
tile Black Forest, while his coUeague, Gen.
J0URD.4.N, with a superior force, acted as a
connecting link between the advance guard
and its military bsise, in the same way as
the Russian Army at Tirnova. But the
AK'hduke Chabi.es, of Austria, making a
flank march of extraordinary rapidity, ef-
fected a junction with Gen. Wabtenslebes,
and fell suddenly with superior forces upon
JoUBDAJf, defeating him in two battles, and
throvring hbn back upon the Rhine with the
loss of nearly a third of his army. Mobeau ,
thus cut off from his supports, and left
alone in the midst of a hostile territory,
gallantly forced his way through the eon-
verging columns which attempted to inter-
cept him, and effected a retreat of 200
miles in safety, though not without loss.
Whether a similar experience awaits the
Russian commanders beyond the Balkan re-
mains to be seen ; but they are not men to
let it overtake them unresisting. Gen.
GocBKHo's dashing gallantry has proved him
well worthy of the ancient Cossack name he
bears ; and those who have seen Prince
MiRSKi at work in his cabinet at Tiflis, or
erect in his saddle on the parade-ground,
with the firmness of the trained soldier in his
lean, bro^vn, thick-mustached face, will at
l^ast give him credit for sufficient energy,
hether he be an able strategist or not.
The Turkish occupation of Selvi, lying- di-
rectly upon one of the two routes to the
Schipka Pass, midway between Tirnova on
the east and Loftcha on the west, is a se
rious matter for the Russians ; and had the
Tfurks been strong enough to follow up this
success with a vigorous blow at the disor-
ganized masses between Tirnova and Biela,
tiere would have been an end of the ad-
vance upon Adrianople for this year at least
But, as it is, the defeat at Plevna is nothing
more than a sharp cheek. A superior force,
with a week's respite, can recover from any
reverse wiieh stops short of absolute de-
struction. Gen. Zimmeeman's troops, and
the reinforcements from Ploiesti, will soon
swell the Russian Army to more than its
former strength, while the demonstrationa
now making in Armenia, against Pennek,
Ardonnsch, and Batoum, distract the atten-
tion and divide the forces of Turkey.
That tlie latter is herself in son
straits is sufficiently proved by the '
per cent." reduction of official salaries,
llhe withdrawal of troops fi'om the Blac
Sea, and the draining of Constantinople t
reinforce the Army of Bulgaria. Russia's
crowning error, from first to last, has boenl
want of concentration ; but she has stil
time to repair her mistake, if she will. Thd

A BjtDICAL BEFORM. .
Itks to be supposed that Secretary Thomp-
I ION appreciates the magnitude of the task he
: las lundertaken when he promises to build
: ihip^ as [iheaply in the Government yards as
hey can be biult by private citizens. The
Secretary is understood to be a man distin-
piished for slilrewd common sense. But it
s not oectain | that he wUl be able to over-
iomp all the difficulties in the way of con-
luo&ig a department of the Government
'on bujSnes^i principles." Such a reform
woujd be Imorj) radical than any now con-
remplated by 'any pubUe officer. If it can
tie apcomplishlsd in one branch of the public
serVJee, it ca|ii| be in all of them. Of
jourse, we must premise that Con-
gress will gifknt the money needed to
paylfor the ships which we need to make
jurs a oomplete Navy. The question is not
aOT^ as t6> building the ships at all, but as to
toic'theyl shall' be built. If obstruetionists
and frugal persons in Congress are able to
stop suppUeSy I the Secretary's patriotic
scheme for an economical Navy will come
to naught. If he gets the money, he will
have a big job on his' hands when he at-
tempts to Ihave it used by his subordinates
and,i contractiws just as prudently as Mr.
Ro-ACH, for e cample, might expend a like
sum in his estivlilishmeut at Chester, Penn.
In ffict, the p: pbability is that even so good
business miti as the shipwright above
mentioned wculd come to grief if he essayed
the management of as many separate estab-
lishments as those under control of the
Navy Departr.^nt. The very extent of the
service seems to make waste ima voidable.
Qf eonrse, ' ve take it for granted that
everybody kr aws that Government opera-
tions everywhere are more expensively man-
aged than pri r i,te bu.siness affairs. It is as
tru*, of j I put lie works in Great Britain,
France.j and Itussia, as in the United States.
Aside fiSotn tli s fact tliat there must be waste
by the dishoile3t use of materials, and the
employment ( if men who do not earn any
wages whate; Sr, it is true that Government
workman arei ]6t " driven " as private con-
traetora' men are, and that the materials ac-
tually used a 's generally the most costly
in the markst. If we take New-York
City as an example of the trutli of this state-
ment, we sffaijl see indifferent work at fabu-
lous prices, and a degree of inefficiency in
maiiagamentiwhich is unknown in national
affairs. If itbe immense sums annually
spent by the JJiavy Department, for instance,
had been' laioi out as the City funds have
been, our IocmI disgrace would have been a
world-wide one. At this moment, the shabby
condition of | parks, streets, and squares in
this City, cosjjiug as much as they have done,
is a perpetual iremiuder of the reckless man-
agement pf Cllty affairs. But it is not neces-
sa% to make, b.ny comparisons. Everybody
adiilits that m is expected that '• the Gov-
ernment"— City, State, or National — will
pay;the highest wages and get tlie least for
its money 5f!iBny customer in the market.
-As'a rule, it will be also admitted, however,
thdt thi! quality of work turned out^- the
Naftiouiil Government is first-rate of its kind.
3}<!oto;"iou3ly, the greatest difficulty in the
wajy Of a thoiipughly economical administra^
tion of any department of public work is
summei up lOn one word — politics. In re-
spect o E navy-yards politics have much to
answer for, not only for maladministration
of iJffai ra, but for needless multiplication of
esti»blb;hmeni3. !\\'hen the Secretary gets
at the ' vork < f banishing polities from the
naViy-yirds t he trouble will begin. Polities
have leen intrenched in the navy-yards
througli suc<essiye administrations — Whig,
Deiittoe n»tic,! and I Republican. AiVhen Bu-
cnto-AJ J was trying to crush out the heresy
wlijich jSubsbquently split the Demo-
cratic Party, proscription ran so high
that the j humblest laborer in the
yapdS 1 ?as obliged to pronounce the shibbo-
leth of the dominant faction of the domi-

deintal patrpnagel Ships have been built or
unpuil^ I repaired or laid up iu ordinary,
with roference to the immediate needs of
the ccntrolling politicians. These abuses
are alriost as old as the Government itself.
Ppssiblly they are less prevalent now than in
former years. But they will be found most
formidable in any attempt at reorganization.
Senattrs anil Congressmen will not give up
tl^teir|ierquifitesi and privileges ivithout a
struggle. And until they do give them up,
the national work will be more costly than
any privat^ ; work. But, for all that, tlie
Secretary of the Navy will be heartily
applauded by the public in his proposed re-
forms J
j TBE RAOE FOR ILLUSTRATION'S.
Thajt men are but children of a larger
growth would seem to be borne out by their
fbndneSs for pictures. Children learn to
read by the aid of pictures, and men are in-
duced a,t present to read by the same: agen-
cy. ' "I'here lire those who can scarcely be
brought to look at a book which is not illus-
tifated. i DUiptration is so much a part of
book-inakingi in these days that publishers
avail themselves of it to the utmost. Not
oiily are novels, accounts of travel, and all
light works illustrated, but also books of
reference, Use dictionaries, cyclopaadias, and
galzqtteters. Popularity is identified with il-
lustration, without which almost any work
designed foij the many, whatever its valiie,
runs serious;! risk of failure. Good wood en-
gravings— and many of them are e.^ce client,
for w^ have improved vastly in this art in
the United States — add greatly to the in-
terest of printed matter for the majority of
readers. The comparatively few indifferent
to them cai^ot be taken into account by
pnblisl^ers, I who naturally appeal to the
ayeiygdl taste, and find their profit in so
(ioingTij I J
But illustration may be carried too far, as
itfrequentllf is liow, being employed in many
instances to relieve letter-press of a very
poor chaHuiter. Not seldom a cheap pub-
lisher, knowing the attractiveness of pictures,
jints worthless books upon the market, copi-
ously illustrated, as he announces, and ef-
fects a large sale by such means. The poor
pictures help the poor letter-press, and a
aonil;inati(i|i|i of ; Doverty produces, jjaradoxi-
B»=B
cally, a certain kind of riolmeas for hin. It
is not pictures of fidelity or artistic merit
which the general public wants so much as
pictures of some kind. Give it these in suf-
ficient quantity, and it is content to accept
whatever may accompany them. Their
original purpose — ^to elucidate and embellish
the text — ^has been entirely departed from,
the text having been made subsidiary to
them, when they should be subsidiary to it.
Hence it happens that many persons have
become prejudiced against illustrated works,
believing that these are relying on mere-
tricious aids for purchasers. Nor will they
dismiss their prejudice until they have
critically examined the letter-press and
foimd it up to their standard. —
Some of the subscription publishers (the
difference between the subscription and the
regular trade is that in the latter people
buy books who want them, and n the former
people buy who do not want them, ) are so
reckless in their manner of illustration as to
be comical. Their patrons baing amongthe
multitude, mainly in the small towns, vil-
lages, and agricultural regions, prefer pic-
tures to anything else, and vrill have them.
A subscription firm never thinks of getting
out a work without illustrations, and as sub-
scription firms are often more practical than
conscientious, and, moreover, have little
surplus capital, they are prone to introduce
pictures irrespective of exactness or merit.
Their customers not being fastidious, nor of
an inquiring mind, receive what is offered
without hesitation or skepticism, holding
that a picture is a picture, and that the
worst or falsest one is better than none.
Not long ago a subscription house got out
an illustrated work on the East. Wanting
a representation of one of the giant cedars
on Mount Lebanon, and not having any
cedars on hand, it substituted therefor. tBTe
Charter Oak at Hartford, and the trick es-
caped detection. On another occasion, it is
said, that in an illustrated volume of the
theological order an old cut of the Matter-
horn was compelled to do duty for Mount
Ararat, and an Erie Canal-boat, with some
alterations, was put forward as a facsimile
of Noah's Ark. There has been no end to
the pictorial deception put off upon pious
folk, who have received it in a reverent, and
therefore an unquestioning, spirit. Cuts of
common New-England gardens have befen
paraded in place of Gethsemane, and Mount
Holyoke in place of the Mount of Olives.
Ancient blocks used in school geographies
are reputed to have rendered service in de-
picting Biblical scenes to which they had
not the remotest allusion. Thus the noted
Ruins of Palmyra, familiar to every child of
the past generation, has gone into books as
Sodom and Gomorrah before they were de-
stroyed by fire from heaven, according to
the Scriptural account, and became the
Buried Cities of the Plain. Sacred history
is in this manner belied, because nothing
like a description of those cities has ever
been given, nor has any trace of them been
discovered by curious archaeologists. .
Some subscription publishers of the un-
regenerate kind are imderstood to have
taken unwarranted liberties with their fel-
low-countrj-men. Two or three years since
a publishing-house issued a trashy, sensa-
tional volume, claiming to be the lives of
notorious criminals during the last half
century. Any blanks in the careers of the
culprits were filled np with imaginary hor-
rors, and all their misdeeds were grossly ex-
aggerated, in order to. present the lovers of
such refined and ennobling literature with
the most highly-spiced morsels. When the
manuscript was finished and the proper il-
lustrations were looked for, it was found
that only a certain number of the scoun-
drels' likenesses were obtainable. The
question was to supply their places with
assumed portraits that would not betray the
cheat. -After considerable search, an old
volume, long out of print, of biographies of
evangelical clergymen of a bygone day,
with portraits, was opportunely discovered.
These were coarse wood-cuts, and so wretch-
edly done that it seemed to the publisher that
they would pass current for villains of the
deepest dye. The work was issued, and as
it was extensively advertised as a moral
publication — ^to warn the young from the bfe^
ginning of vice, and so forth — it fell into
the hands of many orthodox people, who
had no difficulty in reading the characters
of the rascals by 'their utterly depraved
counteq^nces. Before long some of the
readers detected the likeness between the
criminals and certain aged preachers still
lingering on this earthly stage. Disedvery
after discovery was made, and finally the
whole fraud was revealed ; but the exposure,
it is asserted, only increased the sale of the
noxious book.
This and the other instances cited are ex-
treme cases, it must be admitted ; but they
show the rage for illustration, and how the
public confidence is liable-to be abused. Poor
or unfaithful pictures are far worse than none,
since they contribute alike to false taste and
vulgar curiosity. The passion for illustra-
tions merely as such, and as exhibited in
many books, periodicals, and newspapers, is
unfortunate and unwholesome, and needs
curbing. The correction is coming from
honest illustrations of a superior order, but
coming much more slowly than might be
Tv-ished.

lb theSditorcfl^ Ifew-Tork naiet :
At the recent convention of the Ohio Re-
publicans the following resolntion was adopted :
Retdtred, That we are in favor of both silver and
gold as money, that both shall be a legal tender for
the payment of all debts, except where otherwise
specially provided by law, with coinage and valua-
tion so regulated that our people shall not be placed
at a disadvantage with foreign nations, and that both
metals shall be put in circulation as the money of the
nation, as contemplated by the Constitution, and
therefore demand tne remonetization of silver.
This resolution has the quality so often pos-
sessed by the declarations made by political
conventions. It may mean one thing and it
may mean another. It will doubtless l>e inter-
'preted to suit widely-varying opinions and in-
terests. There were some shrewd politicians in
the convention, and I suspect that some of
these saw that the qualifications and conditions
inserted would prove fatal to the avowed pur-
pose of the resolution.
There are two classes of persons persistently
advocating the "remonetization of silver."
One consists of those directly or indirectly in-
terested in silver mines, who hope by the meas-
ure to increase the price of their product. The
other consists of debtors who desire additions
to the volume of the circulating medium be-
cause they trill tend to raise the pricesof lands and
commodities, thus increasing the nominal value
of their assets, while their liabilities remain at
the same figure. The miner wishes to exchange
his silver for a larger gold value ; the debtor to
pay his debt in a smaller gold value. This is
the pith and marrow of the whole agitation of
the subject.
A great outcry has been made against the de-
monetization of silver effected by '* the Coinage
act of 1873,'' and it has been charged that it
was done to favor the holders xif United States
bonds, and without mature consideration and
discussion. The history of the legislation
shows conclusively that there is not a shadow
of foundation for such charges ; but that, on
the contrary, the subject was thoroughly dis-
cussed by thos« officers of the executive branch
of the Government to whom it properly be-
longed to consider it ; by committees of the two
bouses -fit Congress, and by the Senate and
House of Representatives. Had it not been for
the depreciation in the value of silver we should
probably have never heard anything from the
debtor class on this subject The demand for
its remonetization is stimulated by the same
spirit as that which has resisted all efforts to
contract the circulation and to resume specie
payments. The high prices and the flush times
of the years from 1862 to 1872 are fondly re-
membered by those who have mortgages on
their lands, and they believe that every measure
of contraction is inimical to their interests, as
every one of expan-sion is favorable to them.
Silver is cheaper relatively than gold. To pay
a debt with silver dollars of the old weight and
fineness is easier than to pay it with gold dol-
lars. Therefore they say, give us the silver
" dollar of our fathers." When the " doUar of
our fathers'' was authorized, it was made to
contain 37II4 grains of pure silver, because
that weight of pure silver was in exchangeable
value equal to one-tenth of an eagle. The ratio
of gold to silver was then about sixteen to one.
From 1834 to 1872 that ratio was only slightly
varied. It was, in 1873, 15.91 to 1 ; it was
15.19 to 1 in 1859. These were the limits of
the annual average ratio. Xo very serious in-
jury to the right of debtor or creditor could
occur by the indiscriminate use of the gold and
silver dollars during that period. Tet the silver
dollar was at no time between 1834 and 1873
worth less than the gold doUsr, but, on the con-
trary, exceeded the value of the latter by a sum
varying from one-ftfth of 1 cent to 53^ cents.
Nearly all those years its excess of value was
sufficient to keep it out of the circulation and
consign it to the melter's pot, or sand it out of
the country. Hence, though by statute the
silver dollar was a legal tender equally with the
gold coins, in practice the latter were the only
metallic circulation in general use except in in-
significant sums. " Our fathers," therefore,
did not have '* the dollar of our fathers."
Let silver be now remonetized, and the
weight of the dollar be retained at its old figure,
and coined of the same fineness, namely, 412if2
grains at the standard of 900 thousandths, and
the operation of the same immutable law 'will
fill the channels of commerce with the silver
coin as currency and expel the gold coins.
Why ? Because silver is now relativtly to gold
only as 1 to 17.48 or thereabouts, &afl. the sil-
ver dollar of 412I2 grains stani
only about 91^2 cents gold valui
body use a dollar of gold when a coin of silver
yl.2 per cent, less valuable will serve the same
purpose ! If an obligation calling for a legal
lenaer of $100 can be satisfied by paying in
gold or 'silver dollars, will anybody hesitate to
pay the silver when he can procure the requisite
sum with $ijl 50 in gold t The question an-
swers itself.
If the weights of the gold and silver dollars
are respectively fixed in exact proporiion to
tb^ exchangeable value, then the two coins
can be made to circulate side by side. But in-
asmuch aa the relative values of the two metals
are constantly changing, and must, from the
very nature of things, constantly change, there
must be frequent readjustments of their weights
or wrong will be done to debtor or creditor in
the fiJiillment of the conditions of contracts.
The moment silver rises in exchangeable value,
the silver coin called a dollar must be cut down
to equalize it with the gold coin, or the gold
coin must be made heavier to equalize it with
the silver dollar. One process or the other is
the only possible means of retaining in the
circulation l>oth coins. The cutting down
process is that which will always, in practice, be
adopted. 'Let.xis suppose the exchangeable
value of the two metals, at the time the weight
of the equal coins of each is fixed, to Iw 10 to 1,
as it was when the dollar of 1837 was author^
ized. Then let us suppose that the ratio of the
respective values of gold ^ and silver changes
from time to time, as indicated in tbe left baud
colutun of the table below. The secoud and
third columns will show the successive changes
rendered necessary in the weight of pure metal
in the gold and silver dollar by the change iu
the relative values of the two metals, iu order
that the coins may be kept of equal exchange-
able value.

grains and a gold dollar of 23 2-10 grains-
We ended with a silver dollar of 151 2-10
grains and a gold dollar of 9 4;j-100 grains.
Every change has been made for the purpose of
equalizing the two coins in value, the only con-
dition on which they can be maintained in cir-
culation side by side. The pr6cess has been ef-
fected by leveling down ; the history of coin
legislation rarely if ever has furnished an in-
stance of the readjustment of values of coins by
leveling up.
This process of readjustment, which. I re-
peat, is an absolute nei;essity so often us anj-
considerable change in the relative values of
silver and gold occui-fc, if it be intended to keep
both in circulation, results in frittering awuy,
stcji by step, the intrinsic value of the circu-
lating medium. First, one coin is clipped, then
tbe other, till only on in.sigmiCcant fraction of
OUT original money unit remains in either.

grains and a gold dollar of 23 2-tO grains : wa

gold dollar of 30 5-10 grains.
However generous and chivalrous this lottei;
processof equalization of the coinsmightbe ina
debtor government, it is scarcely within the limi
its of the most sanguine hope that it will over be
adopted. Debasement of the coin has been*
common fact in the history of nations, and the
creditor class have of necessity always been the
sufferers by it.
If it be said that the results r^nchod in out
hypothetical caie are t>eyond the limi'.s of prob;
ability, and that rhanire'* of so great extent iii
the ratio of relative values of gold and silvei
cannot "oe reasonably espected, the answer is^
first, that this does tiot impeach the soundnest
of the reasoning; and. seconcUv-. that even
■wider differences liave be**n observed in the past
and are .quite possible in the future. Wh»
would have predicted in 1831 that within less
than 50 years silver would become 35 per cent,
less valuable relativelv to gold than it then wa." p
In the beginnidg of the seventeenth ceumry it
fell to one-third of its \-aiue a shoi^ time previf
ous. In 1781 13 l-'-J ounces of silver were
eqtial in value to one ounce of gold; in 1874
(July) it required 20 17- UK) ounces of .silver tc.-
equal in value one.ounce of gold. At the latter*
date the silver dollar was worth only al>out 79
cents in gold.

advocates of the double standard ' that
we had it for forty years, and that
none of thew i^readjustrnents were mad^
But, as Wfi-s paid earlier in this article,
the silver dollar was practxaliy driven out ol
the circulation, and gold was the real standard
Introduce the same silver dollar n*w. and tiiii

It is -scarcely necessary to say that the ^K>lJiii(
which would enable the tiovemment or otlje'r ^'
debtors to pay debts by a sum less than tnit
which the true import of the contract calls for
is not honest- Our national debt calls for "dol-
lars." and the meaning of that word was strictly
defined in the public liilnd from 1»34 to 1B73.
even while the silver dollir wa> legal tender, as
the equivalent ot one-tenth of the eagle. There
were not, probably, 2.500.000 silver dollars in
esisteace, of American coinage, a*, the 'ocginning
of the late relieliion. Xulx-uy made any calcu-
lation of receiving or paying them. Silver
and gold both have oeen merchandise only for
15 ytiars, except where their paynienrhas been
expressly stipulated in contracts. Had silver
dollars been in fact, as they were in law. the
measure of value wiiile our debts in coin were
contracted, there might be some excuse for as-
suming that tbe.nationa! coin obligations should
be canceled by their use in payment. It might
be said with some reason that the public creditor
should, in common' with others, .suffer the natu-
ral depreciation of the coins in which by the letter
of the law he might iSe paid. But when we con-
sider that at the time our first war loan was
contracted, after the opening of the rettellion,
there were scarcely any Anicrican silver dollars
in the country, and that- the average anrntal
coinage of silver dollars from ISS^ to 1S73.
inclusive, was less than 350.000, the pretense
that the.Govcrtunent expected to pay. or the
Government creditor expected to receive, silver
dollars in payment of the principal or interest
of the bonds 'oeconies aboard.
The truth of the whole matter seems to be
that the two metahs can not in practice be htJid
as standards at the same time-, but that the one
relatively cheaper will *xpel the other : aad that
the cry for the remonetization of silver is simrily
a demand for the legal ^auction of tbe repudia-
tion of a greater or lfci»s proportion uf every coin
contract. A. B.

To Vie BdittfT of thf Sne- York Tinus .- i
The net income of the Metropolitan (nn-
derground) Railway for the six months ending
Jtine 30, was £199,533, being at the rate of
about $2,000,000 per year. This was 5 per
cent, on the capital but the u.sual dividend &t
the rate of 4io per cent, was declared. There
had been an increase of 1,500.000 passengeirs
over the correspomling half year, a rate of in-
crease that had been going on for 10 yeara-
Thls mere increase, it may be oberved. Is great-
er than all the passengers on w'uat is called tt'
rapid transit railway of this City.
The line is being continually extended fii
therinto the city, necessarily increasing Ae
capital accoimts; but within a few years the
company has paid off £1,000,000 of indebted-
ness. The nature of the expenditures can jbe
understood by the'following statement of tlv
Chairman, Sir E. ■\V. "Watkin :
"In addition to being a railway company, tbey
were a great estjite company, for if they took a single
inch of a man's premises tL«?y must take tne whoW
of tht-m. They m-ast. therefore, pusses!" a large
amount of surplus property, and the '©roper warol
dealing with that was to k^K-p it till it could |bo
realized under the tnost favorable circumstauces."
As will be seen from tbe following figures, tiie
capital of the three principal metropolitan lines,
two under ground and the other ' partly so—
2SS4 miles — ^as quoted on the Stock Exchange,
amounted to £16.073,451, and was worth on
the market July 21, £1S.080.(J98. This was
over £2,000. Ol'O profit, an average of I2I2 per

Hatajia, Aug. G. — The steamer City of
Mesico arrived this momiag from Vera Cnu.
She brings the following dispatch from the
Mexican capital, dated Citj of Mexico, July 31 :
President Diaz is making strenuous efforts to
ratabllsh himself in the good opinion of foreign
powers, especially the Cnited States. His atti-
tude regarding the border question was taken
with the view of sustaining his personal dignity
before the Mexican people. He courts the good
disposition of the United States toward himself
personally, and" would, apparently, agree with
pleasure to everyt'ning proposed by the American
Government. The suspicious tenor of certain
newspapers which formerly opposed President
Diaz has moderated, and the same journals
DOW mildly approve the good intentions and
point out the advantages of his administration.
On the 22d of July the premiums awarded
Mexican citizens at the Centennial Exhibition
were distributed at the Theatro NacionaL
President.Diaz presided at the ceremony. There
was much enthiisiasna, and many allusions were
made to the good relatiors existing
between Jlejdco and the Vnited States. The
pxcitement un the border question has subsided.
It is reported that arran^ments have been
made for payment to the I nited States of the
next installment of the amount awarded by the
Mixed Commission, and that President Diaz in-
tends to recommend that the next Congress
adopt measures acknowledging the English
debt, and providing for its payment with inter-
est. Four of Lerdo's Generals, named Loza,
Altamirano. Lonez, and Velez, have offered
their services to the Diaz Administration.
Their offers have been accepted, and the Gen-
orals have been assigned to high commands.
Peace reigns throughout tbe Republic.
San Francisco. Cal.. Aug. 6. — A press dis-
patch from Sau Diego has been received here as
follows; "A special dispatch to the Union from
Tucson sav? : Xews from Guayma.s to the
2Bth of July, and from Herraosillo to the 30th
of July.' is to the effect that letters from
the City of Mexico say tien;. Vallejo and Fris-
bie have createtl general distrust there, aud it is
predicted that their mission will be a failure.
At the City of Mexico they were foulfsh enough
to talk annexation and the non-recognition of
Diaz. Leading Mexicans are repi-esented to
be much against them. Keganiing railroad
matters, tbe report says that they stated to
Ferguson, representing the commissiou ap-
proved by Diaz, that Stanford did not want the
Sonera franchise, aud would not .give a dollar
for one; also that they privately told
Diaz Stanford did nut want it." K.
C. Hopkins and Perrin. of San Fran-
cisco, have just arrived through Sonora. Hop-
kins savs a bad feeling prevails among the peo-
ple, and a revolution is almost certaiu. The
Governor is Senor Mariscul. a nephew of Ler-
do's Minister Mariscal. at Washington. Hence
the Diaz Government is regarded unfavorably
there. It is expected that Gen. Huerta, sent to
Sonora by Diaz, will declare the late elections
void. Good i>eopie are generally satisfied with
Mariscal. but it is thought that Diaz aud Huerta
tavor Peguiera for Governor.

Keoktk, Iowa, Aug. 6. — The Constitution
publishes a complete report of the condition of
the crops throughout the Des Moines Valley, ex-
tending from Keokuk to Port Dodge, from
which the following summary is made ; Wheat
is above the average crop and of good quality,
Oats will make a heavy yield, and average from
40 to 60 bushels per acre. Com, with a favor-
able season, will nave more than an average
crop. Rye and barley, but Uttle sown ; it is of
gtxKl yield and good quality, averaging 40 bush-
els per acre. Potatoes are large and looking
nicely ; there are the best prospects ever known,
■fimothy, there is a fine crop, which will be
equal to thit of 1876. Flax-seed, there was but
little sown, but it will be a good yield ; it looks
fine. The grasshoppers are plentiful in the
Dorth-westem counties, but are doing no dam-
age. On the whole, the prosfpects are very Bat-
tering.

nVS THOUSAND PEBSONS PRESENT TESTEB-
DAT — SPEECHES BY PBANOIS MUBPHT
AND JOHN B. GOUGH.
Fairpoint, N. Y., Aug. 6. — Some atten-
tion was to^Jay given at the Reform Conncil to
the tramp question, and there was a general ex-
pression in favor of effective legislation, j At
2:30 o'clock this afternoon Francis Murphy ^nd
John B. Gougb made their appearance on the
platform. Mr. Murphy took charge of the ex
ercises and introduced " one of God's noblest
CTiristian gentlemek, John B. Gough," who, he
hoped, wotild live to see the funeral of the rum
traffic in this country. 5Ir. Gough said : *' We
wage war against drink wherever it may be
found and on behalf of total abstinence, which,
in addition to being a safeguard, opens the way
to the hearing of the Gospel by the people, and
therefore should command the sympathy of the
Christian." Mr. C tough spoke successively of
the u-se of liquor aji a medicine, and of the! in-
ordinate drinker. He cotild himself no more
drink moderately than he could blow up a mag-
azine moderately, or fire off a gun a little at a
time. In closing, Mr. Gough defended his po-
sition. He had not during his temperf.nce
work of 35 yearsi identified himself perma-
nently with any sect or party or orgariza-
tion. He workejd in harmony with and
had full faith in the power of divine
grace to redeem the drunkard. Yet it was not
true that no man could stopidrinking unless he
became a Christiah. To try to reform without
Christ is running ^ risk, "while to try to reform
by his help is -safetiy. Mr. Gough addressed an
audience of at least 5,000 people. At a little
before 5 o'clock a ^rapd temperance conference
was held, Francis Murphy presiding, and re-
ports were made of the progress of the work in
different I'ort ions of the country. j
Mr. C. M. Nichols, of Ohio, reported that over
200,000 persons had .signed the Murphy jdedge
in that State. SpitingilelJ. with a popul'iition of
20.000 people, had over 6,000 signers to' the
pledge, aud several iiundred of these had been
drinking men. But very few of the mi»uy
thousands who , have been reclaimed
have fallen back. Mr. C. H. Meadon.
of Homells\-ille, X. Y'., gave his
personal testimouy to the power of divine grace
:o take away an appetite for drink, and related a
most thrilling experience. In the most terrible
emergency God had given him victory. Rev.
F. G. Mitchell reported that there were Snnday-
school classes of men in Springfield, Ohio, one
with 30 aud another with 130 members, largely
rtcniiteil from the ranks of the Murphy con-
vert.*;. Rev. H. H! Wells, of Cleveland, gaVe an
account of the results of the crusade in Ohio a
few year.s ago. It excited the attention of the
people, aroused interest, disseminated infonna.
tion, reformed many men, and prepared the
way for tlie Murphy niorenient. Mr. Tulvlor.
of 'Cambridge, Ohio, added his testirfiouy
to that of Mir. Wells. Eccles Rihiu-
son, of Pittsburg, made an appeal in
behalf of Anthony Coiiistock's plans! for
for the suppression of vice. Col. Johii K.
Herrie, of Jamestown, said he would give his
right arm if he could erase his past history,
but thanked t.Jml that he had been free fo:- live
years. . He gave aj graphic account of the Evork
In Baltimore. j
Jlr. Murphy made a few closing remarks. Ho
said he was not responsible for his prntcd
si;^atures or portraits of the pledges, or for the
blue ribbon ihatl originated in Ohio. li e de-
sired to avoid advertising himself, but. w shed
to promote the Gt|spel temperance work, and all
the people ought to try to promote it. Mr. Mur-
phy spoke of the high character of the m m of
Pittsburg. They were of the noblest of their and.
They gave breuli even to the tramps, and
-st'metinies made men of them. XoIxmIv irouid
make men of th|p inmates of the Poor-bju.se.
.Mr. Murphy also spoke of tteorge H. .Stuart and
.lohn Wanamaker. of Philadelphia, who jwere
Christian gentlemen, and of their work in be-
half of the poor and degraded. A graphic
.sketch was given of Karacat-alley, in Philadel-
phia, aud of its isorrows^the result of d^rink.
Testimony was given of the power of GJ'd to
enable men to <>vercome the curse of drink.
Mr. Mtirpby closed with au eloquent au<l power-
ful appeal in behalf of the work. Miss ^ins-
low, of Brooklyn, presented in the Paviliyn, at
7 o'clock, the c'laimsof theforeignSunday-achool
work. '

IXGS AT SINQ SING AXD OTHER PL.\Ce|j.
RoN'DorT. N. iV., Aug. 0. — The Metjbod-
Ists of the river counties are preparing for jtheir
annual camp-meetings, and notwithstandinig the
hard times, these assemblages are expected to
be fully as large as usual. Many of the Method-
ists of this section go to Sea Grove and Hound
Lake for a temporary visit of a day or twi, but
their regular iKimping out is done at
Sing Sing in the New-York District, at
Wesley Grove in the Newburg DLstrict, at Blen-
heim Hill in the PrattsvUle District, aid at
Phillipsport in the Ellenville District. Of these
the camp-meetings at Sing Sing and Wesley
Grove are the nlost important The former
tisually draws large numbers from Xew-|York,
and during its I continuance the village is
<?rammed with pMple. We3l(!y Grove attracts
its visitors more particulariy from the chiirches
in the district, "the meetilu s extend ovfr lO
days. Wesley Gi^eve is a beautiful place, in the
Montgomery and Erie Railroad, by which con-
venient access to all points in the district lis ol>-
tained. The grove is a large one,l aud
where the jr^nd stand is placedl the
natuiral formation of the ground creates
a magnificent amphitheatre, in which
thousands can sit tmder the deep shade! of as
grand old trees as can be found ea.st of the
Rockies. The rbads and lanes leading to this
grove, when the camp is occupied, are crammed
with vehicles, and usually from 6.000 to 1 0.IIOO
people congregate there. The meeting will com-
mence this year on the 22d inst. and continue
till the 31st. It is in charge of
Rev. J. P. Hermance, the Presiding Elder,
and in the conducting of it all the ministers of
the district take part. There will be preaching
three times a day, and among the ministers
announced are Kev. Dr. Hare, of Newburg ;
Rev. John Johns, of Xew-York ; Rev. M. S.
Terry, of Rondont ; Rev. O. E. Strobridge and
Rev. A. K. Sanford, of Kingston ; Rev. C. H.
Fowler, edit4jr lof the Christian Advocate,
and Rev. William P.' Abbott, of New-York City.
In accordance with its regular custom, the as-
sociation holds IK) public services on Sunday,
and the grounds are closed on that day to all
visitors. The reguhir camp-meeting will be
preceded this year by a Sunday-school conven-
tion, commencing Tuesday, Aug. 14, and ex-
tending over four days. This is awakening
wide interest, ; and will embrace Sunday-
schools from the four Counties of Ulster,
SaUivan, Orange, and Rockland. It will
be tmder the eharge of Prof. WiUitJm P.
Sherwin, of Newark, as conductor. Among the
rkkers expected are Rev. Lvman Abbott, D.
Mr. and Mrs! S. W. Clark. 'Rev. H. C: Fish,
Rev. F. A. Gessjer, Prof. T. J. Backus, Rev. A. '
Seward,. D. D., and Rev. Robert Lowry, D. D.
The Stinday-.schooI interest has been great-
ly developed in' Ulster County within the past
two years, but niore especially within th ; past
year. The, Coujnty Sunday-school Association
has employed a missionary, at a salary of $500,
to visit the destStute portions of the county to
establish and reyive Simday-schools, which work
has been done to such an extent that themunber
of active school^haa been increased one-fourth.

most Eoltdlpr rests. Swih a locality is, of course, over-
whelmingly Democratic ; It is one where Tammany
has anconttroUed sway, except to the extent that the
Republican organization is a check upon it ; and be-
yond acting as a eheck'the organization cannot and
does not pretend to go. The Republican vote of the
distHct ad Presidential elections has reached and
sometimes slightly exceeded 1,000 ; at other times it
ranges between 800 and 900 votes. Before the
ofEcers just resigned took the district in hand the
vote was npt nearly as much as this. Indeed, it may
be said that it was only as much as the dominant party
chose to give ; and they gave no more than just auf-
ficent to save appearances, and avoid the danger of
having thel-whole vote thrown out on tbe ground of
fraud. Tlie Republicans of the district have com-
pelled the vote cast to be tolerably fairly counted, and
In such a locality even this task is ofte not without
danejer,. since a Republican voter in Mulberry,
Prince, Hester, and the like streets is regarded by
tbe average mxiscular Democrat as an intruder, a
disturber of the public peace and the rejnilar order
of things : in fact, as a nuisance which public policy
demands that hef abate without mercy. ' Under these
circumstances it may be supposed that the Repub-
lican Association must, to maintain its existence, be
composed of as muscular, hard-fisted, and hard-hit*
ting a crowd as the other party, aud so it is, while
its officers and leading workers have been in the
main yoiiig men. some holding small offices under
the Government, and others clerks in stores and the
like. The assuciation lias been run very harmoni-
oaaly ; th« re has been no quarreling, and there was
no opposition to the ticket elected last night, the
reading of each name being received with applau.9e.

he deejnKl it wis^o wait until such time as the re-
port of! tbe committee from the various districts
and wartls of the Ci ty, to ctmsider the
propriety of a re-enrollment appointed by the

mittee would meet this evening, and might map out
other work for the association, it might be well to
w^t until after that meeting before any further action
wostak^D. Mr. Bliss then referred to the fact of
the recent enrollment of the so-called " Kew Re-
publican! Organization '" in the Eleventh As-
sembly District, luider the auspices of Hon. Thomas

also R^^ested that au amendment should

ixig of Kepublican sapiwrt, and to give him liberty to
belong to Republican oiganizatlons in the district
other than the regular associations.
A mojtion was made that the amendment to the
Constittition be adopted, and was carried. The meet-
ing then adjourned. Should the proposed amend-

which was offered last night be also adopted by four
other assofiations. it will be brought before the Cen-
tral Coiimittee for its action.

CLABKSOIi^S DISCOURSE UPON THE DEAD
MjILLIONAlRE'S LIFE AND ITS LESSONS.
Thel funeral of theilate WiUiam B. Ogden,
who ^ed on Fri lay mojrning last, at his residence
knownjas Villa Iloscobel, at High Bridge, took place
yesterday afternoon. Faneral services in accordance
with the rites of the Protestant Episcopal Church
were performed in the handsome little gothic chapel
of St. James' on , Central-avenue, Fordham. The
church was well fiU^^d ^7 mourners, most of whom
went to Fordham on the 3:30 o'clock train, and were
taken J rom I the depot tn carriages provided by the
bereavid family of Mr.! Ogden. The services were
eharaci erized by the utmost simplicity, and a simple
crosBOl roses was theonlyfloraladommentof the coffin.
The re atives and nearest friends of the deceased gen-
tleman assembled at Villa Boscobel early Ln the after-
noon, I nd left there about 3:30 o'clock for the church.
In the first carriage were Right Rev. Robert H. Clark-
ton, BJ shop of Nebraska, aud Rev. Joseph N. Blangb-
ard, £ ector of St.; Jamjes' Church. Then followed
tbe pa! l-bearers, wearing white baldrics, with shoul-
der-kn Jts of black. They were : Gouvemeur Morris,
Willia: u A. Booth. Park Godwin, Oswald Ottendorfer,
Winiai n C. Sheldon, Martin Zborowski, Dewis G. Mor-
ris. Ft inldin Edson, Gaoriel Mead, Andrew H. Green.
After 1 he hearse were the relatives and near friends
of Mr. Ogd^n, numberinK in all about 20 persons.
The pi ocession reached the church about -1:30 o'clock.
Upon entering it Rev. Mr. Blanchard be^an to recite
the first lesson of the ^neral service, which he fin-
ished iupon reaching the chanceL The choir then
chanteid the anthem ifroiu- tlie tliirty-nlnth and
ninetiath Psalms, beginning : "Lord, let me know
my en<i, and the nnmbejr of my days, that I maybe
eertifliid ht>w long |I have to live."' At the conclusion
of thfl second lesson, read bv Mr. Blanclmrd, the
congregation sang the hymn " Rock of Ages."
Bishop Clarkson then delivered a discourse over
the body of the deceased. He said: " Will you allow
me a idnipl^ word or twO about him who was tme of
the noblest men. and oijie of tiie most brilliant, in
some BonseB, of our land f The great enterprise of
him who compreheudedjfar in advance of his genera-
tion the capacities of th|H expanding continent, and
who niight be said to have been the master-builder of
the City that Is tbe lasting marvel of these days, will
be widely written and ' read. Therefore, we may
pass tbe'in by with suiiple mention. But, .as we
stand nere about the coffin of him whom wo revered,
let us jthink of tho.se superior graces of cliaracter that
made him so attractiveto all, and truly lovable to
those near him. That charming courtesy that was in-
born, that loving consideration for everj'body. which
was prominent in his life, that Bound cheerfulness,
that ohtstretched hand, that ready helpforever>-body
who Vas unfortunate ilbr distressed, and his over-
ilowlnk;. lovo for jwhatjl kras noblest in man and na-
ture : [all thcfto made hin^ as great a benefactor as the
railroad or the city he jbtrought into existence. It is
not often that a mazi I has H[>ent in this life three-
score Wars and ten and left so many people he has
helped as Mr. Otrdeu. j^nd the anuotmeement of his
death, will fill withsorrpw hundreds we know not of.
In the many m.ontlis that death has been playinir
abuutjthe citadel of hislife. many prayers went up to
heaven for htm. ' and lUany a ll'u nitered a fervent
" God bles.s you." The ' same gratf^ful affection that
has bi^ueht me half-wujy acro.HKthe continent to lay
this simple tribute up<ju his coffin lUW the hearts of
thousands, and it is bne of the noble.nt crowns of
a man's life. I knew him when foremost in
th© T^ost active ' euterjirises. when scienco and
leamikg considered him one of their most generous
patrons, when the State regarded him as one of her
wiaeat sons, when the (Jhurch recogniied him as one
ol heij constant lovers, ^hei: ho was everj'body's sus-
taiuisig friend, when, though burdened with care, he
was ever the same gpuer<>u,s, honest, fci^h-toued,
true-l earted. whtsrle-sooled man. God be praised that
now ind t^en and 'here and there is such a man liv-
ing a:nongti9, to help us by his life, and, when dy-
iUK among us. to leave as his example.
Thmigh Sir. Ogderi was always theoretically
a believer in Christianity and a jcenerons supporter
of its institutions^ lit wj^ not until late in Kfe that he
acknc wledeed publicly, before men hiK allegiance to
the I'Odwho ma^e ham and the Saviour who re-
deemed him. How much Ivettur would it have been
if the whole of such a life had been Kpent as a child
of th^ cross ! What unllimite*! personal and national
beneflts would have resulted fr<<ni that vast porsonsl
influ€tnce and ainazim; !ix)wer guided by the spirit of
Cluislianity '. But it is well that he came at la.«t. in
chlldnke faith and penitence, to bow at the foot of
the cross." ^ ! L
At the cbnclnsipn of Bishop Clarkson's discourse
the clhoir sang the hymn, " There is a spot wliere
Chrii^tians sleep." During the singing the mourners
took ja final look at the face of the dead. Mr.
Ogden's body was inclosed in a hea\-}- and plain
rosewood casket, which; bore a silver plate with the
ins^'ription : " \Villiaiii Butler Ogden. died Aug. 3.
18771 aged 72 years." | At the close of the senices
in the chnrrh the same partv of mourners that ac-
comiianied Mr. C^enj's btxiy from his late home
conuncted it to "W oodlawn Cemetery, where it was
interred in tbe family burial place, where Bishop
Clarkson and Rev. Mr. Blanchard performed the
final ritea. i

M HP-TOWN TRAGEDY.
ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A WOMAN,
SHE IS ASSAILED ON THE STOOP OF HER
HOUSE AND PROBABLY WOUNDED FATAL-
LY—THE PROBABLE CAUSE OP THE AT-
TACK— THE INJURED WOMAN REFUSES
TO MAKE A STATEMENT— ESCAPE OP THE
WOULD-BE UURDEBER.
John Wright, a colored hostler eTnployed In
livery stables at No. 205 Lexington-aTenae, entered
the Twenty-first Precinct Station-house last evening
In an excited manner, aud informed the Sergeant on
duty that a man had murdered a lady on the
■toop of No. 209 Lexington-avenue, and escaped.
He said that while he was standing by the entrance
to the stable the lady approached, and was In the
act of ascending the stoop when a man, who had been
standing near by, sprang forward and dealt her
several murderous blows with an axe or hatchet.
The woman fell, bleeding from several wounds
and the man walked hurriedly away in
the direction of Thirty, third-street, fol-
lowed by the Sergeant's informant, who
however, lost sight of him at Hecond-avenne and
Tliirty-sectond-street. Such in substance was the
brief statement of Wright. AA investigation was
immedlMelv begun by Oapt. Murphy, and
the following facts regarding the tragedy
were gathered. The house No. 209 Lexington-avenue
is allied to be a place of assignation. It is owned by
George H. HUl, and has been occupied dur-
ing the past eight months by a woman
named Mary Howard. To all outward appear-
ances the house is quiet and orderly, but
suspicion regarding Its character has neverthe-
less been entertained by the neighbors.
Among the iimiates of the establishment during the
last five months has been Mrs. Frank Holmes, a
handsome widow, 2.S years of age. Thiswoman wasem-
ployed as cashier in the boot and shoe store of Thomas
Henry Clark, at Siith-avenue and Thirty-second-
street, up to about five montlis ago, when she lost
her position in consequence of the failure of her
employer. WTiile Mrs. Holmes was in his
store, Clark became en-imored of her, and,
it is asserted, asked her to marry him. She refused,
but he, notwithstanding, pressed his suit. Learning
tlmt she had gone to live at the house in Lexington-
avenue.he followed herthither. and, much to his aston-
ishment and chagrin, was bluntly refused admittance
to the house by the colored servants, who were, of
course, acting under instructions from Mrs. Holmes.
Desnite frequent rebuffs of a similar nature,
he persi.«Tca in his efforts to see this
woman. During the i>ast three months he
w*s often seen lounging in the neighborhood of the
hou^e. He would sit patiently for hours on the
railinz in front of the livery stable at the
corner of Thirtv-third-stTeet. To the men
employed in the stable he represented
that he was a detective, detailed to watch the houses
of questionable repute in the vicinity. Sometimes
he would sit in front of a larger-beer saloon
at the comer of Leximrton-avenue and Thirty-
second:Street. from which point he commanded
a full view of No. 209 of the former street. During
the past month it was notit-ed that the mysterious
stranger, as he was called, only occaKionally appeared
at hi.s x»ost. On Sunday evenimr he unhesitatingly
approached the house, and being admitted I>y a
newly-hired 'servant, had an interview with Mrs.
Howard, .the landlady. He besought her to arrange
an interview Iwtween Mrs. Holmes and himself.
Mrs. Howard refused, and Intimated that his pres-
ence in the housp was objecvtionable.
The stable men yesterday morning s.iw the man
standing at tbe comer, apparently watching for the
arrival of some one. As his attendance there was .%
matter of dailv ocmrrence, no further attention,
was devoted to him. .A.bout 3:30 P. M- Mr-.
Holmes, who had been out shopping, approached her
residence. .She was just lu the act of walking up the
stoop when (Hark ran up, and. drawing a small
hat^Tiiet from underneath the sleeve of his coat, struck
her several terrible blows, felling her insensible on
tbe .steps. Dropping tbe hatchet "the would-be mur-
derer walked ra)'idly to Thirty-second-street and
thence to Third-avenne, followed by tbe
negro who had witnessed the occturrenpe.
Mrs. Holmes was removed into the house,
where she was attended s«x>n after by Drs. Bnice
and Boweu. An examination of the wounded
w<iman .showed that CLirk had Infiirted eight wounds,
consisting of five deep scalp wounds, a cut on one of
the arms, and two fractures of tho skulL one behind
the left ear and the other two inches above it. The
nature of the two latter wounds preclude, in the
opinion of the dof'tors. the possibility of Mrs. Holmes
recovering from their effects.
Capt- Murphy, aided by the detectives of his pre-
cinct, made ever)' poRsible effort to ascertain the
wherealxmts of Clark, but had not succeeded up to
a late hour last night in arrestii.g him. He is de-
■Jribed a.s a man -15 years of age. slim-built, wearing
a blae'«: moufttache and side whiskers. It Is said that
shortly after hi«5 failtire be entered Into partnership
with a Mr. (Junningham, who keeps a hoot and shoe
store at the comer of Eighth-avenne and Thirty-
fourth-street.
Mrs. Howard was very reticent last evening re-
garding the circumstances of tho tragedy. Coroner
Flanagan, who was summoned to take the ante-
mortem statement of the dying woman, called at the
house early in the evening. Althbtigh consriims and able
to speak. Mrs. Holmes refused to say anythingcon-
cemmg her relations with Clark, contirmingher state-
ment to a description of the aiisault. I.^t6 last night
Capt. Murphy expressed the opinion that Clark Had
committed suicide by drowning himself in the East
River.

UNLICENSED DEALEBS BEFORE THE POUGE
COURTS.
Three hundred and fifty appUcationa for
licenses were filed and $19,000 iiLTnoney received at
the Excise of&ee, in Houston-atre^ yesterday. The
rush during the day was unprecedented, the seven
clerks on duty being worked &019 7;30 o'clock in
the moming till G in the evening. In the outer office
and p*ssageways adjoining, the crush was so
great that the Police had to form the
crowd into double lines, which reached down
the steps and out on the sidewalk. Many of the men
had to wait hours before they could be fittended to.
Bondsmen were in great demand, and those 'who con-
sented to act aa such generally charged $5 for their
services. - There was much complaint in regard to
the $1 fee for filing the bonds, which was exacted of
MLch applicant^ and most have footed up $300 for
bomebody. It does not go the clerks, and some of
the poorer dealers are anxious to know what becomes
of it. In tlie inner ofSce sat Commission-
ers Morton, Murphy, and Patterson, but-
rounded by a buzzing cro'iFd of hotel proprietors,
saloon-keepers, bondsmen, c nd politicians, all anxious
to avert the liquor " war, " -wliich was supnosed t-o
Ihreateii them- About 20 licenses were granted
inrin^ the day. French's '3otel, the Cosmopolitan
ifotel. Caswell, Hazard & Cck. S. H. TViUiamaon, and
McMlUan & Co. being am( mg the favored few. So
fax not more than 50 Hcensf e have been. granted out
of t^e 2,000 applications, and the delay of the board
in t; Odng definite action is pving rise to all sorts of
nimoi"3. Oneisthatthe two Democratic Commissioners
we -wo'.^ng to the interests <rfTammany Hall, which
whisIw'*»<o keep np the liquor agitation with a view
to prod ting by the adverse position of the Republican
Pa.ny oi.' that question. The d efeat of the pro-liqaor
iftws intA^°*^^^ ^ ^® Legialatnre last Winter is
charged to the Republicans, and the liquor dealers
ire told tli*t their only hope as in standing by the
Demorracy:^
A West .Side .politician who .is well jwsted on local
matter?, sala yesvenlay, "The -true inwardness of this
fcusiness^ is that TaKimauy warits to renew the old cry
of 'Puritanical intd»^erance,' 'Albany Legislation,'
against the RepnbKcaaa, George "W. Morton, the
brains of the Excise Board, ia SfWretary of the Tam-
many Gei**ral Committee, and '*Baldy' Smith, Presi-
flent of the Police Board, is of tlie siane stripe, polit-
ically. The whole thing is as plain as a pike-
staff. The PoKce harass the liquor dealers just
enough to arouse them, and the Esjrfse people put
off grantinff them lieens<ts in order to keep the sore
open. By and by. John Kelly and hia Committee of
Or2;nnlzation will oome to the front, as they did last
Pnmmer. with a manifesto of sympat2iy, denonncing
the Republican majority In the Legislature, and tell-
'.ni? the liquor dealers to olect Democratic candidates
tf they want peace and protection. The Excise
Board, have bad three jnonths time in which to clear up
ihis muddle, if they wanted to, and were not working
uider John Kelly's orders." On the other hand,
ITommissioner Weston stLvs that the delay of the
board is owing to the lack of time in which to exam-
hie into the thousands of applications which are
pouring in on them. They have only 10 inspectors,
who are pnid sahuies of Sl.SOOand $l,OOOper year.
These are constimtly engaged in ascertaining the
character and standing of applicants for license. " If
we had a larger force, " added the Conunissioner,
' • and could get a full meeting of the hoard every day.
we cdtild settle the business soon enough."
Among the leaders of the various liquor organiza-
Mons thero is much bitter feeling over the conduct of
certain Republicans in the last Legislature. " I have
many friends who are Republicans." said Mr. Henrj*
L'unmnT:b.'wn, Presj-Ient of the Liquor Dealers' Pro-
relive T- nion, to n. Tdies reporter yesterday. •' and I
don't like to speak ill of thera as a partv. but I must
say iliat u more contemptible and pusillanimous set
of' hypocrites than some of their Assaoiblvmen at
jUbany last Winter I never saw before. ^Vhy, they
would'set up all night thinking our wine and cham-.
paejic. and patting us on the bsurk, and then turn
artmndlthe next Tnoroinp and denounce ns on thetli>or
of the House, and^ote «oIid against every measure or
our relief. They told us they had to do it, because
Iheir constituerrls were fetreoly teetotallers, and abuse
nf.the lifjnor dealers was always popular wi* them."
Mr. ('urniinEham added that the various liquor or-
Sttntzritinns did nut intend doine anything just at
f'ire-s«'i3t, Tiriferrina: to let ^e Police continue their
iar»!*Rin^ for a time, and so jcet public sympathy
WH, their side. It was outrageous, the mantier
in whi''h the law was enforced, fiilmore's Garden
and other high-toned places a-ere allowed to sell to
thfiu-Jiinds. "and an unforltinate German in
ft wine shop on the east side was arrested
for sfUing to half a doisen- Vice-President Repper,
of the Protective L'nion, and othor prominent cfeal-
•TK. spoke in a similar strain. The proprietors of
th<- East River parks and gardens say that their prop-
erty is being largely dapreciated in value by the
Stoppage of their Sunday concerts, -'De Bolice tells
ns. ' Raid one of them yeswrday. ' ' dot we ran gif ter
^•oncerts mitout ter beer, but what good is moosic
mitnut beer.*"
ilenry ClauMcn, President of the Brewers' Associa-
tion of the United .States, is expected home from the
Vivst in a few days, and on Ws arrival a consultation
will be held between the heiids of the various wine
nml liquor associations in the City. Mr. Clausen was
Cbainnan of the Agitation Committee of the indigna-
tion meetinc held' nt Cooper Institute during the
Tiiids of hsst Summer, and his friends say
■that he will take an active part in the
present controversy. Major Fricke. of the Ger-
jnan saloon-keepers, Major George W. Sanr. and
other prominent Germans will co-operate with him.
3t is also reported that Richard O'Gorman will be
retained as counsel in a test case to be instituted
for the purpose of settUne thtfvalidity of the position
tiiken by the Police Board. At present the pigeon-
holes of the District Attorney's office are fairlv cram-
med with commitments of recalcitrant liquor deaJers.
and iCsome of them are not speedily tried the;f will
be in danger of lapsing through the Statute of Limita-
tions. The only obstacle to trying them
Is the fact 'that it wonld effectually
block the courts for several mcmths, against
cUl other business. Meantime, many of the
parties to the nominal ball bonds of $100 have left
the City, and others are disqualified through loss of
property. Nobody seriously supposes that the mv
Jority of the cases' will ever be reached, but the tem-
perance people demand that a certain number of them
be tried, to establish a precedent.
At the meeting ef the Excise Board yesterday, a,
jcomplaint was presented sizned by W. T. B. Milliken,
and R- FI. Shannon, of the t>aw Committee of the So-
cietv for the Prevention of Crime, calling the atten-
tion of the board to the fact that one John P. Win-
riolph. of No. 346 Eighth-avenut, had violated the
law on a certain Sundav in July last by selling beer.
■nnd demanding that his license be re\'oked. The
complaint, which is understood to be for the purpose
»>f making a test case, was placed on file for further
consideration- The number of arrests made yester-
day was not large, the places " pulled" being gen-
erally of a low order.

SpecidtlHMpateh to the ye«f-Tork Tiaua.
Saratoga, N. T., Aug. 6.— The success
which attended, the first Summer meeting
that closed on Saturday induced the Badnx Asso-
ciation to give two extra days, tiie first of which
haa pasaed off in a manner satisfactory to all but the
losers. A welcome rain fell last night, and although
it interfered with the usual Snnday night's concert
in the park, and drove the audience to the shel-
ter of the hotel piazzas, its influence was bene^
fidal in keeping down the dust to some
extent in the village streets which hod caused much
annoyance to pedestrians yesterday. The rain made
no impression on the traek, however, and the dust
was raised in clouds at each movement of the horses
as they passed through the streteb. The attendance
of specfatoTB was not as large as on the previous
days, but the racing was of an extraordinary nature,
and those who were present enjoyed a day's sport of
rare excellence. There were four races as usual, and
two of them, the first and last, fell to the
favorites and the two middle ones to outsiders. The
most exciting contest of the day was the heata of a
mile and five-eighths, which took three heats to de-
cide, and showed up the winner, George IV., to the
best advantage. He proved himself both speedy and
reliable. The mutual pools were well patronized,
the winning tickets on the first race being $12 50;
second race, first heat, $22 90 ; second heat, $26 50 ;
third heat, $7 60; the third raoe paid $23 10, and
the fourth race $10 75. Although it -was past 3
o'clock when the last race was finished, the people
left the course apparently delighted with the enter-
tainment. The following are the details of the
sport :
THE THREE-^UARTEB DASH.
The entertainment began with a dash of three-
quarters of a mile, for 2-year olds, whicb closed
on Saturday with 10 entries, but one of them,
Bridget, was scratched that evening, and those that
faced the starter on being summoned to the track
were Pierre LorillATd's Pique; Mediuger's Phaeton
filly; Wither's Lexington filly; Dwyer Brothers'
Fury ; George L. liorillard's Albert ; McBaniel's En-
quirer fllly : Smythe's Telephone ; Clabaugh's Jet,
and Puryear's Clifton. It was a fine betting race, and
the speculation on the result was very animated.
Pique was the general favorite at $225, Clifton
sellinff next, at $100 ; Albert, $75 , Withers, $50 ;
Jet, $50; Medinger, 40; Telephone, $30; Fury.
$20, and McDaniel. $20. ^Jacob Pincus officiated as
the starter, and sent them Ibff on the sectmd trial to
a straggling start, with Pique and Oifton in the lead,
two lengths in front of Tel^hone, and the others in
a bunch, while Albert was slow In moving off, and
was In the rear. When they ran down the chute
Clifton showed slightly in front of Pique, and, turn-
ing into the reeular track at the half-mile pole,
Clifton was h^ a length in front of I^ne.
who was three lengths away ~ from Tele-
phone, who was half a length before Jot,
with Withera, Fury, and McDaniel running together,
a length before Albert and Medinger. Coming round
the lower turn, Clifton kept half a length in advance
of Pique, who was now three lengths away from Tele-
phone, who had run np to the third place, and she
was a length and a half oefore the balance, in a ruck.
When they turned into the homestretch CUfton still
held the lead, but Hughes was riding him for all he
was worth, while Barrett had Pique well in hand.
Getting into the straight worV, Pique gradnnlly moved
up to tne neck o^ Clifton, while McDaniel'-s ftUy came
up on the inside mto the third place. When they got
to the lower end of the Grand Stand Clifton shortened
his stride, and Hughes drew the whip on him, but he
could not re-spond, and Pique immediately rame to
the front, winning the race easily by a length and a
half in 1:18^. Clifton waa four lengths away from
Telephone, third Albert fourth, Withers and Jet
coming in together, with Fury and Medinger's filly
brinring up the rear. Thus the day began well for
the Dackers of favorites, and they were prepared to
plunge on the next event.
THE HEAT BACB.
The card announced for the second event a race of
a mile and fivcHtighths, in heats, being a handicap for
all ozen. There were four entries, including Long-
staft a George W.. Lorillard's Ambush. Hart's Henry
Owens, and McDaniel's St. James. In the pools. Just
before the start. Ambush brought $350 ; Henrv
Owens, $210; St. James, $200. and George l\\
;$175. The starting-post was midway down the
Chute, and when the fiag fell they appar-
ently were under way together, but Owens
immediately ran forward to cut out the
work. and. turning into the regular track at the half-
mile pole, he led half a length, St. James second, two
lengths before Ambush, who was half a length in ad-
vance of Geor^ IV. Coming round the lower turn,
Henry Owens mcreased his lead, drawing away from
St. James, and leading him a length and a half, while
at the tail of the latter came Ambush, a length before
George IV. Keeping up the pace, Owens increased^
hlfl lead still belter, and got away two lengths, but
St. James was under a strong pull. The , pace was
still good up' the stretch, and when they passed
the judges' stand. fini.ihing the first five-eighths
of a mile, Owens was still two lengths ahead of tit.
Jamea, and he a length before Ambush, who had his
neck in front of (ieorge TV. Going around the turn
Sparling took a pull on Owens to let him catch his
breath, but when he reached the quarter pole St.
James was two lengths behind him again, and he a
length m front of Ambush, who was a length before
Georjje IV. Down the back-stretch the pace was hot,
|aud St. James moved up to the saddle girth of
Owens, but the latter got away from him again, and
jled a length at the hAli-mile pole, while Kvans sent up
jGeOTge I V .to lAp St. James* quarter, while Ambush had
dropped two lengths in the rear. Coming round the
lower turn the race waa very exciting, ks St. James
moved up to the neck of Owens, and he was followed
up by George I\'., while Ambush had dropped three
lengths behind. There was great enthuKiaum as they
turned into the home stretch with the three thus
lapped, but Owemi kept in front past the furlong
pole under the whip, and at the distance stand he
pushed forward and looked by the winner, but, meas-
uring hifl distance, Barbee sent Ambush along under
the whip, and with a rush he pa-wed St. James, and
in the last jump headed Owens, and the pair passe<l
t>>e goal simultaneously, making a dead heat, in 2:56.
At th& talis of the dead heaters was St. James, who
was three lengths in front of George r\'., who had
been pulled up. The first five-eighths had been run
in 1:10^ and the mile, from stand to stand, in
] Second Seat, — Ambush was still the favorite at
$225. and the field $115. There was no delay in
getting them off, and Evans changed his tactics
from the first heat, and Immediately sent George IV.
,to the front, and when turning In to the r^ular
track at the half-mile pole he was two lengths in
front of Owens, who was a length before Ambush,
he being lapped at the quarter by St. James. Com-
ing round tne lower turn, Geo^e was allowed hla
head, and soon opened a gap -of nve lengths and be-
gan to make the j»ce a tiring one. Barbee, seeing
that George was getting too far away, sent Ambui£
past Owens and was in the second place and closed
gradually on the leider. and when they came round
to the stand George showed two lengths in front of
Ambush, who waa jleading Owens three lengths, the
latter being a length and a half away from
St. James. Going round the turn, George
kept going at 1 the same stiff pace, and
increase his lead to three lengths at the
quarter pole, and Abibush was the same distance in
front of Owens, wh^ was still a length and a half be-
fore St. James. There was a merry chase after
iGeorge along thel bock stretch, and Barbee waa
lobliged to urge Ambush to close up, and at the half,
imle pole there was naif a length or daylight between
them, with OwensI and St. James in the same posi-
tions as before. When they came round the lower
turn Barbee useq the whro on Ambush, who
responded and finally moved up to the bead of
George, and they turned into the home stretch to-
gether. There was a grand brush up the stretel^ but
Ambush quit under the whip, and George had
the race. Barbee, seeing he could not get there,
pulled np, expecting one of the others to make a
jomshf but Evans was on the lookout also, and pulled
{George, who won the heat by a length and a half in
2:57, St. James gaining second place, h^ a length
before "Ambush, who was a length before Owens,
The five-eighths was run in 1:09, and the mile, from
at^uid to stand, in 1:48.
Third Seat — George IV. brought $375, and the
£eld $130. Under the rule, St. James waa sent to
the stable, ftnd the other three ^ot away on the first
trial, but George was immediately sent to the
front, and at the half-mile pole was a length
in front of Owens, who was the same
diistance ahead of Ambush. In this way they came
aroond the lower turn, but on the stretch Ch^orge
oame away, and passed the stand three lengths tn ad-
vance of Ambush, who had passed Owens and led
him two lengths. When they went to the turn
Owens waa completely pumped and stopped. In the
meantime George increased his lead to five lengths
at the quarter pole, and six along the back stretch,
but at the half-mile pole Ambush nad closed up, ana
there was three lengths of daylight between
them, bnl on the lower turn George got
away again, and although Barbee whipi»ed
and I spurred Ambush it was of no avail.
George took it very easy np the home stretch, and
won| the heat and race in 2:58, proving hlmseU to be
a remarkable stayer aud a credit to his aire. Owens
was at the three-quarter pole, and consequently dis-
Jtancied. The first five-eighths was run in l:08i3, and
ithe inile, from stand to stand, in 1:49^
TH£ MILE DASH.
The third event was a dash of one mile, a free
handicap for beaten 3-year olds. For this were
entered Dwyer Brothers, Vermont, Xiong-
staff* 8 ^^:lnn, Blce'a Dr. Livingstone, Mc-
Daniel's ^incesfl of Thnle, and Price's Bill
Bass. Vermont started the favorite, but the
victory of his stable companion in the preceding
racemade the heavy speculators plunge on Hlgglna,
land he brought $205 ; Vermont, $200 ; Princess of
jThule, $165 ; Bill Baas, $110, and Doctor Living-
I stone, $55. This was another grand op-
iportunity for the knowing ones. At the
second attempt the flag fell, with -Princess of
iThule and Doctor Livii^stone in the lead, Ver-
'mont and Bill Baas next, and Higgina in the rear,
j At the turn. Princess of Thule rushed to the front,
I and at the quarter pole she was showing two lengths
i in front of Doctor Livingstone, who was a
length ahead of BUI Baaa. who waa
rl^Miog Vermont and Higgina a length.

the bttlf-niile pole ho was at the lattcr'a widdle-girth,
and at Vermont's tall was Bill Bass, leading Hig-
ghiE and Livingstone h^ a length. On the lower
turn Vermont ran on oven terms with the Princess
of Thnle, and they were a length in ad-
vance of Bill Bas.^, with Doctor Livingstone at the lat-
ter's tail, leading Higgins half a length. When they
turned into the nome stretch Bill Bass came up. and
was Koon on even terms with tho leaders, but at the
furione it looked as if the Princess of ThtUe would
win ; nut she quaQed under the pressure, and BUI
Boss came to the front is such a decided manner that
he astonished every one. He beat them all easily,
and won by fofai lengths In 1^5^^, Vermont gaining
the second place by a neck from the Princesa 01

the Western division cabtnred another good race.

tries, but only three ifaced the starter, Including Xior-

cepted as the probabjlo winner, and brought $300,
Partnership ; $150, |aud First Chance $130. The
distance being ai znile and an eighth, they were
mustered at the i furiong pole midway down the
stretch. After threje or four breaks away and some
fooling, they were isent on their journey on pretty even
terms, but iPirst Chance darted to the front to
make the running, and reached the stand a length in
advance of Pugitive,lwho was a length and a half be-
fore Partnership. Going arouni the turn the latter
closed up. and was soon even with Fugitive, so that
the pair were headland head at the quarter, with

ner they ran down! tjhe back stretch and round the
lower turn into the sfretch. where Partnership fell

A CHILD m^S OF HYDROPEOBIA,
rEARS OLD BITTEK BT A
SETTER DOG — UIS TERRIBLE SUFFEBINOS.
The Health Dep sotment yesterday transmitted
to the Coroners' oHce a certificate of the death of
Martin Lorenz. a^e^ 4 years and 7 months, a victim
of hydrophobia, w 10 died at the residence of his
parents, Xo. 437 W eat Thirty-eighth-street, on Satur-
day evening. Ten ■ r;eeks ago the child waa bitten by
a setter dog under t le following circoznBtances : The
*wimAl, hqnted and maddened by a number of mis-
chievous fak>79 in th ■ neighborhood of Xinth-avenoe
and Thirty-eighth-sj reet, ran into the hallway of the
house in iwliicb th \ Lorenz family reside, and en-
countering the child there bit him several
times od the lees. Hia parents immediately
took him to a neighboring drue store, where the
wounds were canietired. They healed in a compara-
tively brief period,] And no further trouble wa.s an-
ticipated. C>n Thuiaday last, however, the appear^
ance and actions of khe child showed that he wa^ not
quite well; I>urlngjthe day his eyes remained abnor-
mallv dilajted. On the following day he manifested a
deciaed ayersJon to! Water and other liquid.*^, and aa
the day wore on he'' Waa repeatedly seized with con-
vulsions. ! Dr. RoecBger. of No. J12 ^^t Thlrty-
flfth-street, who wai called to attend him on Satur-
day mominii. foundjthe child subject to tetanic con-
VTusions at brief intervals, accompanied by the usual
hydrophobic symptbrns, such as frothing from the
mouth and gasping.
In moments of apparently extreme agony the little
Bufterer would grasp his throat, as if he were tinder-
goln^ a choking;; sensation. He t^azed wildly at the
ehining bulb of a thi »rmometer which the physician
produwi for the purpose of testing the temperature
of the child's body, and became convulsed at
the sight M a cup of water. The jihysician adminis-
tered a stifong do8e|of hydrate of chloral, and subse-
Suently injected a puantity of the aame drug. I>r8.
*ay and Janeway, of the Health Department, and
Dr. Hammond, who] visited the child on Saturday,
at the rwjuest of j Dr. Uoediger. nnhesitatinely pro-
nounced the case oi» of hydrophobia- The child died
at 9 P. M. the same day. Deputy Coroner Mc-
Whinnie daade an ailtopBy of the body yesterday, but
failed to find any oA the organs diseased.
THE STEIKE AT POST JOSySTOX,
GERilANS IMPORTED FEOM NEW-YORK TO
TAKE THE PLACE OF THE STRIKERS —
SOME OF THEM QUIT WORK — PEACEABLE
ATTITUDE OF THE MEN OUT OP WORK.
The entire PoUce force of Bayonne, under
command of Chiefl Whitney, and 30 specials from
Jersey City, in addition to a large force from the
Central Railroad, ^ere on duty yesterday at the Port
Johnston ' eaal docks, at Bergen Point, iu antici-
pation of n riot which was thought imminent.
On Saturday night the old men held a meeting in a
public hall it Berglen Point, and were addressed by
111
Father Killeen, the| briest of St Mary's Church, ad-
vising themi to refraiu from any lawlessness, even
though men jshonld [be brought from New- York to fill
their places! He| also counseled them to re-
turn to their I work at the terms offered by
the company Th^ former advice the men prom-
ised faithfully io observe, but they would
not listen to ; any Bi^ggestiona which looked to ? re-
sumption of .work, imless at their own terms. They
say that they do not want an increase of pay, but
they want an opportnnity to put in full time, and be
paid for what lalwr they perform. The work has
been, by contract. ; at iv cents per ton, and with
this figuzje . they are satisfied, but it is
the extn^ labor, without compensation, that
they objei^t- For | Instance, before commencing
the business of the day, it is necessary that the men
should place in position the planks on which the coal
is wheeled to the boats which are in process of load-
ing, and this work consumes about two hours, for
which there la no pay. After a few hours' work, it is
not unusual for pitlers to come stopping the men
and sendiniir them to some other point, by which an-
other long [delay is occasioned, and in this way the
paj-ing houira are so cut down that they are unable to
make over [40 or 50 cents a day.
On Saturday the company engr^red 50 Germans at
a New- York agency, and yesterday morning they
were takeri to Port Johnston on a tug-boatr^Vhen
the new-comers went to work, the old hands stood
at a respectable distance, but uo threat or offer of
violence Was made. \ Mayor Mei^gs appeared among
tliem and delivered a speech adviBing them to return
to their wuJjrk, but, although the men listened atten-
tively, they steadfastly refused to be nioved from
the positicoi they: Jhad assumed. About 9 o'clock
Sheriff Laverty ^rrived, and, greatly to the
surprise 01 all present, with a single deputy.
He went anLong the men and, in kind but firm tones,
informed tliem that he intended to perform his dutj',
but hoped tjhey woulii not make it necessary to ex-
ercise his powersj i The men, almost to a man,
offered to ; itand by him and assist in the arrest of
any of tl eir ntimper who should break the
peace. ly noonj several of the Germans gave
np the vork aofd started for the Bergen
Point Dep it, intent on reaching New-York as soon
' as possible, •'hey ; were met by the strikers, and, af-
ter being ti eated ana several furnished with dinner,
tickets were given| to those who were without
means to j^ay their! fare. At night the new men
were paid what they had earned daring the day, and
were taken back to New- York in the tug.
The suijerintendent of the coal docks said last
evening th^t the company wonld have a force "f 150
men at work this morning:, and the same vigilance on
the part of the officials will be maint&inc-d. The men
who are standing out have, by their peaceable
behavior, won the good wiahes of the dtjzens, and a
numb^ of prominent gentlemen have interested
themselves to make !an effort to bring about a settle-
ment favorable to the men.

An ex parte motion was mado by counsel for
James Myers yesterday in the Supreme Court for an
order directing Justices Semler and Guck to show
cause why they should not be removed for corrupt
practices. The order was granted by Judce Bamaiii,
and made returnable on the second Monday in Sep-
tember. Myers brought similar charges before

dence.

Oliver Cotter, agent of the Temperance
Brotherhood of Christian Churches, has brought
several charges of Naolating the Excise law against
Charles Feltman, the proprietor of a liquor saloon
and dance-house at Coney Island, and on each occa-
sion a jury in a Justice's court has decided for the
defendant. A similar charge against the same man
was tried before Justice Ferry and a jury yesterday.
Several witnesses swore that they hart ptu-ch&sed and
drank lager in Feltman's house on Sunday, the 24th
inst., ana no testimony was oflferedfor the defense,
hut notwithstanding this fact the jury brought in a
verdict of not guilty.
An amusing incident occorred in Judge
Barnard's court yesterday, when an application was
made for the appointment of Commissioners to ap-
praise damages for land taken on Richardson-street
oy the Manhattan Beach Railroad. A large number
of small property-holders were present, and, suppos-
ing that the allowance of $10 costs, which tho court
announced in auotiier case, referred to them, they
commenced \'iolent protestations for fair play. After
a cross-fire from a dozen or less of the interested
parties they were _ finally quiete*!, and the court an-
noimced that he would be careful to appoint honest
zaen on the commission.

SMUGGLED VXDESCLOTSIXO.
The seizure-room in the Custom-houae was
yesterday made richer by about $400 wortJi of goods
which had been brought into the country from
Europe without payment of duty. The authorities
having the matter in band were extremely reticent
abnut giving information. It was learned, hpwever,
in spite of their secresy, that the goods were brought
to this port in the City of Chester about a month
ago, and that they had been passed by an Inspector
as private effects — clothing which had been wom-
The goods consisted of a large number of ladies'
undergarments, handfiomely embroidered, in quantitv
sufficient to fill a trunk, " and about two dozen of
plush hats, such, as are worn by the clergy of the
Catholic Church in South America. It is probable .
that this seizure will not be the last made on the in-
formation upon which these goods were discovered,
yet the parties are entirely disconnected from the
rin^ which made the silk entries without payment of
duties.

young man, of whom he demanded a certain security.
His coal business having been unprofitable, he sold

less by a blow on the back of the head from a stone
thrown at the same comer where Bums had been
put off. The Police of the Third Precinct snbee-
Suently arrested Burns and John J. Callas and John
. Berkley, who were with him on the car. Bums
was yesterday committed to await the result of
Briody's injuries, which are serious. Callas and
Berkley, who are liquor dealers, were held as wit-
nesses. __
CSARGED WITS A CRniiyAL ASSAULT.
Mrs. Annie Foster, wife of an East Kockaway
fisherman, has accused George Brockett, her hus-
band's partner, with having committed three crimi-
nal assaults upon her. The first attempt, three years
affo, and the second, two months ago, were, she says,
successful, and that three or four weeks ago he made
another assault, but failed. Then she tola her hus-
band. Her excuse for so long a silence is that each
time he threatened to kill her if she exposed him-
Mr. Foster has arranged a separation from his wife,
and has commenced suit for crim, eon, against Brock-
ett. Brockett has also been indiSted and placed un-
der bonds lU the sum of $1,000. Both trials are set

perienced terrific weather off the Cape of Good
Hope, which she sighted on the 24th of Mar. On

days, during which the ship was tossed about in a
heavy sea, which broke over her aide a number of
times, completely filling her deck and smashing in

thrown on her starboard beam ends, in which poa-
tion she remained each time for several hours, but
was finally righted, though with extreme difficulty.

• Tie interest which attached itself, two
monihs ago, to the fortresses of the Danube^as
now (concentrated itself upon the sis gateways
of th e Balkan, through the two westernmost of
whicb the Russians hare succeeded in penetrat-
ing. South of the Balkan the position is briefly
«s follows: The main strength of the Turkish
f orc( s is ■ concentrated at Adrianople,
wheje the railways from Yamboli, Phil-
ippe >olis, and Constantinople, and the
hixhi roads which traverse Eastern
Bou: nelia, meet as at a common centre. Suleiman

men ^ while Gen. Gourkho and Prince Mirski
bsve fallen back to the month of the Schipka
, the most direct approach from Timova
tfabrova. The northern ascent of the pass,
after leaving Gabrova,. rises gradually through
thick wooas to the crown of a ridge 4,500 feet
in height, after which the ground falls steeply
away to the village of Schipka, whence the de-
icent is tolerably easy to the beautiful valley of
tr»«»Ti1ilt| poetically styled the " rose-garden of
Turkey."
MOST DIRECT KOAD INTO EOCJIELIA.
A glance at the map will suf&ce to show that
. Qtf line of 1|arch from Timova, through
Drenova, Gabrova, and the Schipka defile is
the most direct road into Ronmelia from the
point of crossing at Sistova, and that
next in order comes the Tvarditza Pass,
> little further to the east. It was close to
this point that Gen. Gourkho effected his pas-
tage, not, however, by the defile itself, hut hy a
xoountaiii oath dwbqaching ugqa the villao* at
Hainkoi, on its western side. This pass, like
the Schipka. is approached from Timova. by
tiiming to the left instead of the right, skirting
the Slatzar (Saltarl IJiver, passing through tne
town of Helena, or Jelena, and thence foUoxring
I the horse-track which, zigzagging across the
ridge of Tv-arditza- Planina. reaches at length a
village of the same name on the southern slope.
Close to this point the three minor ranges of
the, Balkan, known respectively as Kutchuk,
(little,) Stara-Planina, (old | mountains.) and
Emineh-Dagh, unite in one chain. The latter,
named after its terminating portion. Cape Em-
ineh on the Black Sea, is the highest and most
formidable of the three, and only passable by
an invading army at four points ; for the fifth
route, from Varna along the coast to Missivri,
turns rather than crosses the chain. Moreover,
it and its neighbor, the Pravadi-Kouprikoi
route, though followed with perfect suc-
cess by Gen. Roth and Gen. Kndiger,
in 1829, were so only after the fall of Varna,
and with the active co-operation of the Russian
fleet; whereas now, with Varna and Shumla
still untaken, and a fleet of 20 Turkish iron-
clads sweeping unopposed over the Black Sea,
either route, even if practicable, would be
perilous in the highest degree. The ap-
proach to the Nadir-Derbend pass espe-
cially, through a narrow defile capable of
being completely closed by a single
earthwork, and containing no less than 40 ford-
ing-places, might be made into a second Ther-
mopyUe, especially were a f ortifled camp estab-
lished on the high plateau just in front of the
pass, at the junction of th^ two roads from
Yenikai and Kanfrikoi, wliere 20,000 men
might encamp with ease.
IMPORTANCE OP THE CENTJEAI, AND ■VVE8TEBN
j PASSESJ
Bot it is the central and western passes which
are likely to bear the brunt of the present war,
the Russians having made their attack via Sis-
tova and Central Bulgaria, instead of, as here-
tofore, by the great bend of' the Danube and
through the Dohrudsch».j The two western

route."
passes
Kotlenski-
Buazj and Dobrot, the approaches
of which are commanded, respectively, by the
towns of Osman-Bazar and Shumla. The
■former place, recently evacuatf^d by the Rus-
^sians fet the approach of Mehemet AU, holds the
junction of the two high-roads from Rustchuk
and I Asgrad, on the Vama-Rustchuk Eaihvay.
Thence a road, in very bad repair, runs
isoutbeast over the Binar Mountains, a
kind of outwork of the Kutchuk range,
passe I through Tchatak, and crossing the
Kutchuk itself, runs down into • the fun-
nel-sl aped ravine, whence the little
town of Kaian takes its Bulgarian name of
*' Kotel," (boiler. ) The black, narrow, tunnel-
like defile of the famous " Iron Gate," which
lies beyond the toWn. seems at first sight abso-
lutely impregnable ; but, like Thermopyte, it
has I . winding path to the right, by ascending
whicl t the enemy's skirmishers might fall upon
the d ifenders in the rear and destroy them all.
' Thi I other of the two roads from Kasan leads
down to the narrow but not very formidable pass
of Eiotlenski-Buaz, and, parsing through it,
curves round south-eastward to the Roumelian
town of Kamabad. The latter place is also
accesiiible by the third of the central passes —
that named from the adjacent town of
bobr )t ; but this route is seldom followed,
owin|[ to its extreme difficulty and the total
Want 'of forage along the whole latter half of
the way. Moreover, it can only be made avail-
able by the capture or complete investment of
Shunua, from which it is the most direct ap-
proac h to the Balkan. The passage of the shal-
low 1 [amtchik, near Eski-Stamboul, where the
river is little more than 20 yards broad, and
with a firm rocky bed, is easy enough; but
the crossing of the Stara-Planina, by a
pass 900 feet high, the fording of the Lesser
Eamtchik, the descent to, and ascent from, the
hoUoW in which lie Tchalikawak, are more
g^riojis matters ; while the subsequent ravines
andiionntain birrents, the scramble of 2,000
aa alao |the two eastenu t,£eet iwthe Dobrot Pass, the toilsome dAanAJit
to Kamabad, and the terrific gorge of Buyuk-
Derbend, between that place and Adrianople,
render it highly improbslble that the ■Russians
will choose this route ivhile the easier passes of
the west lie opeh to thpm.
NORTH OP THE BALKAN.
The situation nortlJ of !the Balkan is less
easily grasped, on account: of the innumerable
detachments into which both armies are broken
up ; but the general position of the Turks may
be defined as that o^ two widely-extended
fingers, the Ru-ssians lying like a third finger
between them, from Til^nova to Biela and
Sistova. On the east of this position the Turks
hold the strategic line of Rustchuk, Ras-
grad, Gski-Djuma, and Osman-Bazar. On
the west of it, thpy are disposed in echelon from
Selvi to Lovatz, (Loftcha, ) and from Liovatz to
Plevna. At Plevna itself the Ttirks hold the
town and theirl former positions around it,
while the Russians, having recovered their lost
ground, stand facing them in a half circle —
Prince Schackosky at POredin, six miles to
the north of the town, ; and Baron Krudener,
with the main body, at Tchirtchandik,
three miles further to the east. Mean-
while the Roumanians are concentrated in |and
about Nikopolis, and the Russian reserves are
mustering in the rear at Ploiesti. On the east
of the quadrilateral, again, lies (jren. Zimmer-
man with the Army of the Dobrudscha, while
on the west of it a smaller Russian force is
threatening Rustchuk and Basgrad.
APPEARANCE OP THE LINE OP INVASION.
Looking again at the map, it will be seen that
the ettire line of invasion, from the Boumanian
border to the Kceanlik Valley, presents the ap-
pearance of an arm stretched out to its full
length, the hanid being represented by Gen.
(Jourkho's army in the Schipka Pass,
tlie elbow by) the Army of Timova,
and the shoulder by the forces massed
between Ploiesti and the Danube. This
would undoubtedly be a situation of extreme
peril in the face of an active and daring enemy,
but it has, neveithelest, one graat advantage-
that of a central position. A glaaee will
sttf&ce to show the distanoe wbiiUi.
rates Osman Pasha, at Plevna, from ileheraet
All, at Osman-Bazar, and l^e impossibility
of effecting a jxmction without a decisive breach
of the Russian line. Meanwhile, the second
ponton bridge at Nikopolis will offer an easy
passage to the reserve forces beyond the Danube,
and the batteries of Giurgevo' will keep Rus-
tchuk fully employed on one side at least.
But the most advantageous movement for the
invaders, could they but obtain Austria's con-
sent to it, would be the flank march through
Servia, which the Czar is now so anxious to at-
tempt. In pursuance of this plan a Russian
force would cross the Danube near the mouth of
the Timok, move up the valley of the river so as
to turn the Turki.sh position at Widdin, and,
leaving the Servian Army to cover its rear and
keep up its communications, advance upon
Pirot and the great water-shed of Sophia, oc-
cupy the city, and come down upon Phil-
ippopolis by the great road through Tatar-Ba-
zardjik, thus completely turning the
line of the Balkan, and entering Roumelia
from the rear. This was the route
actually followed by the Polish King Vladislav
when he invaded Turkey in 14jJ3, and the
result was the fall of Nissa, Pirot, and Sop)iia,
and the total defeat of the Turks at the Topol-
nitza Pass, near Slatitza — a defeat which at
once terminated the campaigr.
TIBNOVA VITALLT IMPOETAKT TO THE
RUSSIANS.
In conclusion, it is hardly necessary to point
out the vital importance to the Russians of
holding Timova at any cost. It is the' central
point in the line of defense which holds a.snn-
der the two lateral columns of the victorious
enemy. It commands the road which must be
traversed by the reinforcements from beyond
the Danube, and likewise that by which supplies
of every kind must be sent to the hard-pressed
troops now holding the Schipka Pass. On the
other hand, should the impending attack upon
the Turkish position prove snccessftil, and Os-
man Pasha's defeat let loose the whole Russian
Army upon Mehemet Ali, it is easy to see in
what a precarious situation the two leaders,
I. iddelr separated from each other, and with no
adequate supports to fall back upon,
would suddenly find themselves placed.
It is true that a vigorous sortie
of the forces shut up in Shumla and Rustchuk
might give the fortunes of the campaign another
shape ; but the massing of troops by the Rus-
sians at Biela and along the line of the lower
Jantra i^hows that this possibility has been fore-
seen ; and when the recently mobilized corps
d'arnih come to the front, the advance of the
invading army will, in all probability, be her-
alded by the complete investment of the for-
tresses of the quadrilateral.

SPEECHES BY THE MAEQUIS OP SALI.SBURT
AND LORD SANDON ON THE POSITION
OF THE GOVERNMENT — STORES OP PlfO-
• VISIONS AT MALTA AND GIBRALTAR.
London, Aug. 7. — ^At a Conservative dem-
onstration at HatSeld yesterday Lord Salis-
bury, in a speech, made the following reference
to the Government's foreign policy : *' We ear-
nestly deprecated this war. We are the allies
and friends of both contending parties. We
desire our neutrality not only to bC' neutrality
of act, but of speech. But I will
ask you to believe that while we are
thoroughly convinced that the patriotism
of Englishmen, if we need to appeal to it, is
equal to any emergency, and will shrink before
no sacrifice which the interests or honor of the
country may demand, we feel in all its inten-
sity that horror of the crimes and calamities of
war which this coimtry has always >een honor-
ably distinguished for entertaining. Let us
earnestly hope — ^the two objects being, as we sin-
cerely believe, in no way divergent — that we
shall be able to conduct this country through all
difficulties without trenching in the faintest de-
gree on its interests or honor, and without los-
ing for a single moment the priceless blessing
of peace."
Lord Sandon also spoke. Bte said hO; tmsted
that when the moment of aettlemont came they
should all bear in mind that it was the greatest
interest of England that every country in the
mnld should be jaotpecmia, and that it am
XJ?i.:.
cjuntry ran the risk of l>eing homiliated,.
England should try to prevent the humiliation*
whether it should be that of the assailant or th«
assailed ; and *' I hope also."' he said, ** tliat wo
shall avoid the fault which, in my opinion, has
been the great fault of European powers in;thd
past, of interfering on behalf only of our oore-
ligionists, instead of asking the Turk to saeuro
good government to all the people of his ■ -rasli
empire, whether they be Dnises, . Yezidetc, Mo«

KUPT BANKS— THE JCPFECT OF EEAL ES-
TATE DEPRECUTION.
Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 7. — In the Ellis
trial to-(lay, at the opening of the Senate, D. C
Ell ia. Bank Superintendent, testified that the
first; time he ever heard the statement ahout
the Third- Avenne Bank, as sworn to by Isaac
Smith, a clerk in the department, was at Sara-
tov ; don't ^remember any conversation with
Smith about that bank ; there was a special
exKmioation by Reid, Aldrich, and others, in
!*'p-i!, 1873; knew of the $150,000 bond
[Which were to be given by the Trustees;
Was inHnenced by all ' the facts in
this knowledge ; went to New-York
jthe day Duncan, Sherman & Co. failed; saw
iMr. Ci?co, and he cotmseled delay ; saw eight or
ten other bcsiness.men; they said the market
was excited; it continued so all the Summer;
ncted on the opinion of these men; anticipated
khat tbe closing of this bank would be very dis-
tu-^trous to other banks ; attention was first called
|to the :itechan:es' nnd Traders' Bank bv a letter
from Fteid in 1874 about the trouble with
^he Secretary; I immediately wenfc to New-
pfork; tbe bank deposits were small; they
continued to increase to the time of the closing
of the Third- Avenue Bank ; the complaint was
a;;aiuAt the management, not aj^nst the
Solvency of the bank ; the officers were called a
fr-t of robbers ; examined the President and
t'lnance Committee ; found them running on
in tlicir own way ; gave them the choice to
close iip or behave themselves ; found the bank
financially sound ; when Reid examined the
bank in december, 1874, showing a deficiency,
the Secretary came to see me ; told the Secreta-
ry the Trustees must make up the deficiency or
1 would close them np ; the letter of December
25 was to know what had been done : received
a telegram saj-ing they had put the bank In
?hape; Reid reported in 187G that the deficiency
had boeu made good ; relied on Reid's report, aa
I had no knowledge to the contrary; next had
atti^-nlion called to the bank in August, 1S76 ;
Reid said, when told to go and look at the
Beach-strt»et mortgage books, that they were
not systematically kept ; they seemed all right;
w.i«t<in Rochester when Lamb turned the bank
over to the Attorney-General, and approved his
action^ instructed Reid to keep a watch on the
bank, and others, and report; returned the let-
ters sent by Lamb, -and told him to look to the
matter in my absence.
After recess Mr. Ellis resumed : In the Pall
of ls7r>. on the report of Mr. Reid, commenced
proceetlings to dose'tho Peoples' Savings Bank ;
Borae of the oflicers called and proposed to make
up the deficiency, and, as the bank had changed
its location, anticipated better business; the
Trustees had put in one bond ; proposed ohang-
inir, giving individual ones more binding; the
suit was prosecuted no further then; went to
New-York and looked into the matter : examined
1 he Trustees*, bond s and mortgages, and was satis-
fied the deficiency would be made good in full ;
Reid and the Superintendent called at tbe bank
and made an informal examination of the as-
sets : did not make a formal report ; only knew
that Reid reported when the report was pro-
duced on trial ; the deiiciency rei>orted by Keid
was more than covered by bonds held by the
department ; thinks he acted under the letter
received Xovember 11, and telegraphed Keid to
Bend formal report: ^vrote the Attorney-General
to close the bank ; followed the figures of
Reid's letter; the Attorney-General prepated
the »ummon:<, giving the figures in the letter ;
when the formal report came, as the figures
ciitTcred. he changed them to agree with tii©
formal report ; after that the Attorney-General
hsd no further. control over tbe^ bank ; went
with the Kectiver to witness the deposit of the
i!s=ftR of the bank: the Receiver of the
SIfchanics* and Traders* Bank found, after sev-
eral months work, that the ledgers were not cor-
rect as Rf id hail accepted them ; asked Smith,
rt.-i ho bad been in the department many
year.**, if the Loaners'~ "Bank had ever
iiiade a repurt ; he said it bad made a
statement, but did not know what had become
of it : he had exuifiined and could find no power
to enforce the law : Reid went and tried to ex-
nmiiie ; did not succeed : went to Xew-York in
April, l*»7ti ; the ofiicers tuld him they were
tuikinc of paying up depositors ; handed him
ihH opinion of William Tracy, their attor-
ney ; thnu;riit it was before the opinion
was put in the hands of tlie Attor-
ney-General that the bank was turned
nv.-r to tlie Ri-reiver ; intended leaving the
bank to the Attorney-General, and not put
'J'racy's cjMuiou against the Attomey-Genaral's ;

llnn; cijuld not walk in and take possession ;

no knowlrdge of the Receiver's actions: his at-
tention was tirst called to the German Bank,
Morrisaiiia. in March, 1875; Reid's examina-
tion mentioned a loan by a former President on
niilmad bonds ; the President and coimsel
t:f the bank came to Albany, and he
told them thf-y must make up the de-
ficipncy ; they seemed very energetic, and
did no; want the bank closed ; the former
Prpsi(lf-nt deposited good collaterals for the
p^Kir under tho former Bank Superintendent;

Superintendent a.«ked to make the deficiency
pood : 1 ien. Sigoi and the Trustees called after
the hank had been put in the hands of the At-
tnmey-Gonp'ral, and said if there had not been
such a run. and a little more time had been al-
Imved. the depositors would all have been paid ;
a large proportion of the depositors had
*-!irned a petition promising to let their money
lie in the bunk, if it was not put in the hands
r>f ft Receiver : no facts came to his knowledge
to destroy his confidence in the bank : in the

iiniufd The law and charter by which he could

Ht Savings Bank three or four days before the
Receirer was appointed ; Mr. Reid made an ex-
jamination. found a deficiency, and told them

Saratoga, Aug. 7. — To-day was the second
of the extra days given by the Saratoga Racing
Assodstioa, and it passed off with moderate
success. A heavy storm last night cleared the at-
mo^here and made the drive to the ooarsa a pleas-
ure. Thft traok was in good condition, and the
four events were run off half an hour earlier
than those of yesterday. Only one of the
favorites was successful, and the backers of the
fiivorltea received a succession t>i blows that must
have staggered them. The great surprise of the day
was undoubtedly in the first race, which was won by
I#ady Salyers, and MeDanlel got a race at last. It
was a popular victory, as the Colonel had the sym-
pathy of the public by his misfortunes. Tom Ochil-
tree easily disposed of hU competitors in
the two miles, and Clenunie G. captured
the mile and a quarter. The three-quarter dash,
■w hich brought the entertainment to a close, was very
unsatisfactory to all concerned, by tho outrageous
omdnet of Grecian Maid, who delayed the start for
0 cer 20 minutes, and was finally left at the post.
1 he mutual pools paid well on each of the events,
the first race bringing $23 70, the second $8 90, the
third$54, andthef<»arth$20. The details of the
sport are appended :
THE MILS DASH.
The first event was a dssh of one mile, with an al-
lowance of five pounds to maidens, which brought
out three competitors in McDoniers Lady Salyers,
Medlnger's Wash Booth, and William Mulkey's
GQiiquita. Although the latter had not been doing
well, and was carrying her full weight, she ontclassed
the others In speed by previous performances, and
she was a firm favorite at $275, Wash Booth bring-
ing $145, and Lady Salyers $140. They were some-
what fractious and delayed the start some time, hnt
finally they were sent on their journey close to-
gether, with Chiqmta slightly lea^ng. Going around
tae turn, Chiqulta pushed out three-quarters of a
length in advance of Wash Booth, who was a length
iA advance of Lady Salyers. When they reached the
quarter pole Wash E-wth had moved up to the sad-
dle girth of Chiqnita, while Barrett had Lady Salyers
well in band and was two lengths in the rear. When
they ran down the baclc stretch Wash Booth forced
the running and he moved up to the shoulder of Chi.
quits, while Lady Salyers had dropped back to three
Icjngths. At the half-mile pole Chiqulta was leading
■yfash Booth by a neck, and Lady Salyers
improved her position by a lenzth. -When they
came round the lower turn- Wash Booth had pushed
out In front by half a length, by which distance he
led into the home stretch, while Lady Salyers came
up fast, and was at Chiqnita's heels. At the furlong
pole Chiqulta gave it up. and Wash Booth was now
in the van, but only for a moment, for as soon as
Barrett gave the signal. Lady Salyers ahot to the
front amid the most entliosiastlc cneexs. and won
the first race for McDaniel by two lengrths, in
1(45^ ; Booth second, about ten lengths in front of
Chiqulta. When Lady Salyers returned to the
Weighing stand, she and young Barrett received oulte
ah ovation, showing the victory to have been a very
popular one. for SicDaniel has hftd very bad luck,
this bcine only the second victorj' he has obtained
this season.
THK TWO MILES.
The card fumialied for the second event a dash of
two mile.s, a free handic:ip for all ages, which had
eight nominations. whUe but five of them faced the
starter. D'Artngnan, Tom Ochiltree, Galway, Oriole,
and Cloverbrook. Of course this was looked
upon as tho most interestinz event of the d.iy.
and manv expected to see Big Tom Wnten, In the
pools Ochiltree sold for 55(K>. Oriole $205. D'Artag-
nan $170. and the field $1«0. Jacob Pincus offi-
ciated fts starter, and a raess ho mado of it. The start
was a xtmcglinff one. T<tm Ochiltree getting off in the
l^ad, Cloverbrook second. D'Artairnan third, fh-iolft
fourth, and lialway fifth. The latter had not turned

the pace. He led Tom a neck. whll*» D'Artagnau

Qalway brought up the rear. even. Going along the
hack stretch they ran In pain*. Ochiltree and Clover-
brook together, a length In front of D'Artaguan,
lipped by Oriole and (talwny. Approaching tho
hali-miie pole, they changed their iK>sitions some-
what. «nd pa»sine that point Cloverbrook was show-
iBK the route half a length In front of Tom
QchiUree, who was a leneth in advance
ojf D'Artagnau, the latter still lapued at the
saddle-girt^ by Oriole, with fialwav at her quar-
t|r. On the lower torn Cloverbrwik started nut to
tjie front a clear length and a half, but the pace was
Ti?Ty alow, and at the finish of the first mile. Clover-
brook led by two lengths. Ochiltree fetlll holding the'
RK'ond place, under a strong pul!. two lengths be-
fore D'Artagnau. who waa a length in Mlvance of
Oriole and Galway. The mile was run in 1:57.
.'ithe horses ran in the same order around the turn.,
and Cloverbrook moved somewhat faster, and passed
the quarter pole two and a h.-ilf loneths in ad-
vance ot Tom. who WRS stiU taking it ea.sy
a. lenath in front of D'Artj»(rnan. with Oriole
fourth and Galway fifth. Going nlonq the back
PTretch Galway ran up to the third position, and in
the meantime D'Artagnan fi'U back to the rear
b{>aten. At the half-mile pole Tom camo up and
showed his head in front of (loverbrook. who was
loadiuR Galway a Ipngth. When they came round
the lower turn Bafbee let Ochiltree ro. and he
p ished out a length in front of the lot. and sailoped
hi>me easily, winnine as he plewied by two lengths in
3 42 >4. Cloverbrook was second; a "head In front of
Oriole, who was a length and a half before Galway,
with D'Artagnau bringing up tbe rear.
THE MILK AND A QUARTEB.
The third event was a free handicap dash of a mile
and a quarter, which, with five nominations, includ-
iijg Lucifer, Clemmle G., Mary. Higglns, and Bertram,
ana here the knowing ones got another dose of it,
and the Western men captured the pool-box. In the
bjttinp just before tho start Lnciferwa? the favor-
ite nt SaOO; Marv. second choice. *'J0O ; Bertram,
$150 ; Higgins, $115. and Qemmie <J., tJie winner,
$105. They were started from the three-quarter pole,
and they apparently got away in line, but
ijudfer and Clemmie G. immediately took up the
ri(inning. The latter had the most speed, however,
and reached the stand two letiffths in advance of
Ljncifer. who was half a length before Mary, and two
before Bertram, with Hlptlns in the rear. Going
round the turn. Clemmie G. Increased her lead to
three lengths, but at the quarter pole. Sparling took
a pull on Clemmte. and she showe<l but two lengths
in advance of Lucifer, who was lapped at
the airth by Mary, with Bertram fourth,
and Higgins in the roar. Aa they went
ajong the back stretch Sparling allowed Clenunie
to tue a breathing spell, and she ran under a strong
pull, allowing Lucifer to set to her tail, and he was
stlD lapped by Mary, a length and a half before Ber-
tram, and two before Higgins. At the half-mile pole
Clemmle broke away ag^n and was soon leading two
l«|ngths, while Bertram lisd moved up to Lucifer's
head, and was running even with him and Mary,
vrith Higgins fifth, and close up. Coming round the
lower turn Lnclfer pushed out to the
second place ag^n, and reached the tail of
CJemmi© G.. who was again well in hand.
Mar}' was third, lapping Lticlfer. with Bertram nei^
bht coming np fast. ^Turning into the homestretch
Clemmie Or. led half a length, and Lucifer, Bertram,
and Mary seemed to be -in line. Coining up the
stretch Bertram got even with Clemmie. and the
phir came away from the others, making a close and
exciting contest. Slary then came np and there was
a close" struggle between the three, but Clemmie
gassed the goal a neck in front of Bertram, who was
alf a lengUi in advance of Slary, Lucifer fonrth, a
length behind, followed by Higgins. Time— 2:14i2.
THE SELt^INO BACE. "
The concluding event was a selling race of three-
quarters of a mile, which had seven entries, five of
whom faced the music— Diamond, Baroness, Dsnde-
lion, Grecian ilaid, and Auburn. lu the pools Dia-
mond sold for $350, Grecian Maid $165, Baroness
$150. Auburn $125, and Dandelion $40. They were
mtistered in the sectional track, and a long delay oc-
curred in getting them off, owing to the ugly temper
displayed by Grecian Haid. She absolutely re-
fused to go the right way. and at-
tempted to throw her rider several times. She -wttd
whipped without avail and as a last resort her
trainer brought the blinders ; but she was as had as
before, until tho spectators became impatient, and
gave vent to their feelings by continued stamping.
Finally Jeter Walden dropped his fiag to a straggling
start, and Grecian Maid wheeled round again an3
was left at the post. Baroness and Auburn got away
together four lengths in front of the other two.
They struggled for the track as they went down
the shnte. and on turning into the regular track at
the half-mile pole were still together. Thus they
ran round the lower turn, yoked, while, three lengths
behind them, were Dandelion and Diamond, also
running as a team. Once iuto the home stretch Au-
burn had the crowd beaten, snd won as he pleased by
three lengths in l:18i4 i Diamond was second, five
lengths ahead of Baroness, who was half & length
before Dandelion. The winner was not sold, there
being no bid over the price for which he was entered.
I ' AKOTHER BXTRA DAY.

blear on the assotuation to keep up tbe running with-
out Intermi^on that the Board of Directors, at 11

THE PENNSYLVANIA COAL TRADE.
AN IMPEOVED OUTLOOK — THE PEESENT
PEICES LTKELT TO BE iKCEEASED —
AMOUNT OF COAL SHIPPED.
The Phihidelphia Ledger of the 6th inst. says :
" The Anthracite coal trade has a more prosperous
outloolc, enforced by circumstances over which the
several! companies engaged in the production and
marketing of coal have bad little, if any, control. At
the beginning of tbe coal season persistent efforts
were made to hit upon some line of policy by which
the production of coal should be brought within the
marketjahle demand. "What the chief companies failed
to effect in this regard has l>een pretty effec-
tually accomplished by lawless violence, prohibiting
both fjroduction nnd 'transportation. The miners
for about 10 days have stopped production in five of
the mining regions, leaving the only source of coal
supplylfor that time to the Reading Coal and Iron
Comp'anv's mines in the Schuylkill region, the most
of thelminesof the individual miners there having
stoppcjl. The shipments of coal over the Reading
Railroad to Port Richmond for the weelc ending on
Saturday evening, the 4th inst.. wore 66,000 tons.
and the shipments from Port Richmond for
the s^me time were 77,000 tons, showing a
reduction of stock on hand of 11,000 tons.
The cflal tonnage of tho road for the week was
115,000 tons, and for tlic month of July, 592.178
tons. The averaire tonnage for the month
of July for the past eIx years was 565,103, or 27.-
075 tops lens than for the month of July last past.
The output of coal hy the Heading Coal and Iron
Company for the month of July was 372,000 tons.
On Thjursday of last week, the 2d inst.. that com-
pany mined and sent to market 17.630 tons, the
largerti product in any one day In the history of the
company. On Friday and Saturday last shipments of
coal w^re resumed over the Lehigh Valley Railroad
from the Mahanoy region. That region, hdwever,
does not supply more than a fiftli or sixth of the daily
tonnage of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. It is now an-
ticipated that during the current week the other lo-
ealitieji finding market for their coal over the Lehigh
Valley Railroad will be in operation, but it is not be-
lieved that the advance in prices will he lost, even
when all the coal regions are in operation. The
chcfk in production that put prices up will, in con-
nection with the fact that the poal season la nar-
rowing to 12 or 13 week's, so stimulate the trade
aa to keep them up to at least a pay-
ing point. Tlie Lehigh Valley Railroad dur-
ing the weeks ending on the 2>!th ultimo and the
4th inst. reduced its stock of coal at .\mboy about
5, (MX) tons per d.iy. and last Saturday evening was
supiiosml to have had in stock on hand thorw about
7.5,000 tons. The price has been advaneed 40 to
50 cents per ton. and there in generally a good de-
niandfor coal. The Lehigh foal and Navigation Com-
pany, or. more properly, the Central kailroad of
JCew-Jeryey. h»« of coal on hand about lOO.OOO tons,
a very small stork compared with the tonnage capa-
city of the company, and which capacity it is
expected will be soon called Into roqiiisition.
An an evidenee of the improved financial
situation of the Lehigh Navigation Com-
pany, we learn that its paymaster returned to the
city here on Friday evening last, having romplet«d a
tour of several days, employed in liquidating balan-
ces of wages all along the line. We continue onr
caution to consumers of coal. " lay in your Winter's
snpplv now.' The advance in nrices in consequence
of tlie obstructions to trade wittiin the last fortnight
are not so great as tbe situntion really warrants.
Some of the operators are restrained a little in this re-
gard by apprelieuMcn that if the prices of coal are
advanced materially it may provoke a corresponding
advance in miners' wages! and should they go up now
it would be difficult to get them back to what they
now ore, should coal decline ever so much. The con-
sumer who defers lajing in his coal for such reason
we can but think most unwise. The basis for wages
will control them, and the necessity of demanding
^Miying priroK for coal la not likely to let them fall off
lor the remainder of the year.
Tho railway strike-*, which caused obstructions
on nearly all the coal railways, are lla^ing their
effect reflected in the tabulated reports. Compared
with the previous week every coal corporation, ex-
cepting tbe Schuvlkill Navigation Company, ejiows a
decrease. The treading Railroad falh* off 34,102
tons; the Irfhigh Valley. 8.360 : the Delaware. Lack-
awanna and I Western. 49.263: the tthamokin
branch of jthe Northern Central Railrord.
9.0ei4 : theJ Vniteil Railroads of New-Jer-
sey, 150 ; ihe Pennsj-lvania Coal Companv,
4.400. the Delaware and Hudson Canal. 6,06>l:
the Huntington and Broad Ton, ii,010 ; the
Pennsvlvania ! and Kew-Vork Railroad. 10.506;
and I he Clearflold iy.3 10. The Kew-Jorsey
Central Railroad has totally Rtopi»ed ship-
'mentaj and i m we have received no report
from lit wo cannot give any statement of its
traillc for the week. During the previous
week I its shipments were 71,141 tons. The
Schuylkill Canal. which was uninfluenced
by strikes, gained 4.341 tons. For the weekending
Aug. 'I, coal shipraontji by the Lehigh Valley Rail-
ron4,t|i6 Pennsylvania Coal Company, the Delawarp.
I>ackajv^iuma and Western, tho Delaware and Hud-
son, and the INew-Jersey Central Companies were
almost entirely stopped. These are five of the six
corporations that mmlo up the former coal combina-
tion. This ahrinknge in coal production comes at al-
most the same thne this year aa the enlargement of
production dfid bust year, after the Midsummer
troubles were over in the raining regions. For the
week ending on the 118th ult.. the total tonnage, as
reported by the several carrying companies, amounted
to *.;61.320 ton^ against 417,6<j7 tons in cor-
responding w(M)k last year, a decrease of 156,-
'2S7 tons. The total amount of anthracite
rained for the year is H,30S.552 tons, agahist
8,943,iROO for tho sameperiod lart ye.ir, an increase
of i;,454.75*2 tons. The quantity of bituminous
coal sent to market for the week"cannot be stated,
the strikers interfering with reports from the (him-
berland region. The total tonnage of all kinds of
coal for the cloal year we make up by adding the
anthrajcitft tonnage for the week ending 'i^'th ult.,
while estimating the bituminous tonnage as it was at
the clo«e of the previous week. The total tonnage for
the coal year i|» l3.076,569tons. against 10,927. 06i2
tons t^same date last year, an increase of *J. 149,507
tons. The receipts at Perth Araboy for the week ending
on thelSfltb ult. were 17.058 ton^ the shipments
31,R3ltons, leaving a stock on hand of 114,649
tons. fThe quantity of coal and coke carried over the
Pennsylvania Railroad for the fourth week in July
was 19.071 tons, of which 16,117 tons were coal
and 3,^"j4 tons coke. The total carried for the year
Is 2,760.«^0itons. of which 2.104.9.39 tons were
coal and 496,273 tons coke. These figures embrace
all the coal carried over the road, east and west."

ENFORCE GTHE UQUORUW

COMPLAIN OF THE CONDUCT OP THE

ISSUED BT THE DEPABTIIENT — ^LIQUOR-
DEALERS IN COURT — ^FURTHER ARRESTS.
The war on the liqnor^dcalera still continues,
thou^ If prewnt indications are to be trusted. Its
force is about spent. From early nu>rning yesterday
until 6 o'clock in the afternoon the office of the Ex-
cise Commissioners, in Houston-street, was crowded
with the same class of liquor-dealers, bondsmen,
and politicians who have congregated there
for ihe past week. It was a sultry day.
and the clerks, stripped to their shirt-sleeves, worked
as they feave rarely worked before. For onoe the City
got the worth of Its money out of its employes. At
the cashier's table huge piles of notes and coin, ag-
gr^ating thousands of dollars, lay temptingly ex-
posed to view behind the thin net-work of wire which
kept off the surging crowd outside. It would hare
be«n a harvest for pickpockets, for every man had big
rolls of billi in bis iK>cket, and many of them occu-
pied the time, while awaiting their turn, in counting
out and arran^ng the snm, required. 'Wblle they
widted, they taU:ed about the lookout, and condoled
with each otn^on the "hardtimeB" on which the
trade haa fallenX Several in the crowd had been
locked up the nigfaVbefore, although they had already
procured receipts, and these were loud in their
denunciations of the shuffling policy of the Police
and Excise Boards. Sonie\declared the Republicans
at Albany to be the cause of the trouble, while others
laid the blame at the door ofxJohn Kelly and Tam-
nuiny Hall. The Germans were\especially loud In
their abuse of the latter, and manXof them swore
they would never vote *he Tanunanyticket again.
The great and oversbfcdowing grieVuice, how-
ever, was the disregard which the Police
paid to the receipts of the' Excise ^-Board,
There are about 2,300 of these pieces of paper aSoat,
each of which has cost its owner $75, and alrof
which the Police treat as so much waste paper. . The\
majority of the dealers cannot undentand why, after
they have filed their bonds and paid for a license,
they should be locked up in a. sweltering Police
cell over night becsnse the Excise Board is unable or
unwilling to either grant or withhold their licenses.
The applications filed yesterday numbered 366,
three more than on the day before, and the amount
paid in was $18,510.
A TniES reporter, who called during the after-
noon, found Commissioner- Morton fairly exhausted
by tbe labors of the day. In reply to a question as
to bow many licenses had been granted aince
last week, he opened a drawer and exhibited
a packet of 20 which had been'^piftsed at Monday's
meeting. Every one of them was to a bona fide hotel,
drug store, or wholesale dealer. ** How about this
perspiring crowd outside V asked the reporter, " are
you licensing any of them ? " The Commissioner
said : " We have not got to them yet, but we hope
to before long. You see, it takes a great deal of time
to make the nscessary inquiriec. When a first-class
hotel or drug store comes to us for a license we grant
it at once, although even in those cases a formal ex-
amination and report Is made by the inspector. But
with the mass of these men something more than a
mere formal examination is necessary, if we would
comply with the law. We must ascertain whether
they are reputable, whether they have complied
strictly with the requirements of the statute,
whether their sureties are good, &c. We can't do all
this in a day, and so we have made it a
rule that the dealers should in all
cases accompany applications with tlie payment of the
license fee to show that they are acting in good faith.
If the Police refuse to req>ect our receipts It is not
our fault,"
**^Vhat do you think," asked the reporter, "about
the Police arresting men who have paid their license
money and compbed with the law /" '* I consider
it," said Mr. Morton. " both impolitic and unjusti-
fiable, and I cannot see how any candid man can view
it otherwise. I cannot now poi^t you to the
decision, but I know that one is on record,
and which the Supreme Court of this "State haa dis-
tinctly laid down, tliat where a liquor dealer's license
expires before he has had an opportunity to apply for
another at a resmlar meetinc of the local boaxd, be
can continue selling witliout being liable to arrest. In
the present case, these Kew-York dealers have antici-
pate the law by paying their fees and filing their ap-
plications before we have been able to pass upon
them. It seems to me that under such circumstances
common equity prpscribca that these men should be
allowed some indulgence at least, until we have had
an opportunity to adjudicate upon their demands."
In regard to the alleged intention of the board to
"freeze out the poorer class of dealers," Mr. Martin
said that they had no intention to freeze out any
class — they simply proposed to carry out the law in
good fflith and with due legurd to tho posi-
tion and requirements of the City as a
great Metropolis. AU sorts of rumors
were in circulation as to their intentions,
one party claiming tlxat they were discriminating
against Anti-Tammany and the friends of Morriasey ;
another, that they were doing John Kelley's bidding,
and others that they had still deeper and more
corrupt objects in view. For themselves, the
commissioners could afford to laugh at this
sort of thing, but it was really a gross
mistake on the part of the public to
suppose that there was so much plotting
and underndning about a plain matter of fact.
'■ We are not Napoleons of politics." added the
Commissioner, Rmlltng, " and we have none of the
de^p-laid schemes that people are crediting us with.
We are simply trj-ing to administer the law so as to
protect the rtehts of all classes, without inflicting
unnecessary hsrdsliip.s up*tn reputable dealers.
If the Board of Police fail to co-operate with
us, and continue to worry and annoy men
who have done everythino' in their power to comply
with the law, the resiHinslbility must rest with them,
not with us." Commissioners Murphyand Patter-
son coincided w^th the views of Mr. Idorton, and
hare personally used their influence with the Police
authorities to protect respectable dealers who hold
receipts from the board. No licenses were granted
at yesterday's meeting, however, and it is still uncer-
t«in when the Commissioners will clear up the pres-
ent difficulty by coming to a final decision on tbe ap-
plications before them. August 22 has been fixed as
the date of hearing testimony in the complaint filed
against John P. Windolph, of No. 340 Eighth-
avenue.
A meeting of German saloon-keepera was held at
Ko. 369 :^wery yesterday to take steps for their
mutual protection. Henry Haas called the meeting
to order, and a Mr. Beerman. was elected
Chairman, Mr. Blase acted aa Secretary. The
Chairman explained the object of the meeting, and
advocated the appointment of a committee of twelve
to wait on the Mayor and request that he use
his influence with the Board of Police
to prevent the present tyrannical and
•unconstitutional interfcrenec with the rights of law-
abiding citirens- Ak rltizens and tax -payers they had
a right to demand that they be protected while hold-
ing the official receipts of the Excise Board
for the payment of their Ucense fee.
In case the Mayor refuses to move
in the matter, they should fight it. out
in the courts. Mr. Haas thought that the ilayor
should be asked whether the arrests could not* be
effected in a less rigorous way J Also, why the Po-
lice Justices should not consider the receipts of
the Excise Board binding until the latter
came to some decision f Aft-er a spirited de-
hate, the resolution appointing a committee
of twelve to wait on hia Honor was carried. Steps
were also taken to call a maKs-meeting of the trade
during the coming week. Major George W. Sauer
and other prominent Qermans are hjtrd at work
arous&g public sentiment on the question, and claim
that they wHI be able to effect a settlement of the mat-
ter within a short time. Mr. Henry Conninghsm,

sdonsnesa of fine clothes by little adjttstments and
arrangements of gloves, jewelry, or drapery, betray-
ing that these were not qull<e comfortable, or tha*
the owner either desired to have them noticed or

The marvel is how any woman who sees this awkf
wardness in another woman can conform to it hen
self. Time was when the feet and underskirts of a
lady were invisible realities; now they are the mosf
conspicuous objects, though not the most beaotifuL
Despite fancy stockings and Louis XV. zosettea,
few ladies' feet look well in motion. Thankl
to French heels, few women move with
elastic and even step, neither too lone nor short; they
scramble and waddle over the grotmd as best they
can on tbe absurdly curved soles, ao entirely nnlilM
the natural form of tho foot as to destroy the power
of the mnsclos, with a weight of draperv fetterintf
their limbs. I sat and noticed a &le of women claa
in expensive materials coming along the atreet ona
day, and thought that the contour of each, as well atf
facr motion, w^as almost identical with that of scnnai
rustics whom I once saw endeavorinK to run In sacka^.
The unfortunate inai»pTOpTiatenees with wliicli
Americans are somet^es reproached i<t manifeut^nl
in the adoption by oii^women of trained skirts foe
all times and places, and made of all materials.
For occasions of state and space a flowing traiq
may be elec&nit and add importance to tba
wearer at a bridal or drawing-n>om ; but a tnda
proper exacts a- train-bearer, which modem nsage
has not yet adopted, and space for the dL-qHay oj
the elegant folds, which*' our crowded recenti'ona

LIQUORS.
At its meeting on the 17th of July, the Jersey
City Board of Aldermen passed resolutions to grant
licenses to about 600 persons for the sale of intoxi-
cating liquors to be drunk on the premises. Last
evening the board received from Mayor Siedler
a message vetoing 180 of the proposed
grants. The . Mayor says he has not vetoed
all to which valid objections might be raised, but has
passed some in the hope that in the future the
saloons will be kept in a more orderly way. In mak-
ing his discriminations, he has endeavored to secure
the welfare of the working men. He urges the board
to take Into consideration the ordinances regulating
the sale of intoxicating liquors, and suggests a
number of changes which he believes would better
subserve the pnbUo welfare. He recommends that
three classes of licenses be provided, instead
of two as at present— the new grade to be for the sale
of ale and beer only, by persons who do not keep
hotels or restaurants. He would have a license re-
voked whenever the holder sells to habitual <feunk-
ards. minors, imbeoiles, or paupers, keeps a disorder-
ly house, knowinely harbors criminal or vicious
persons, permits ' *-" — " -'-'-'-- *^- '^^---
law prohibiting the
or violates the State
of liquor on Bun-
days, and would deny for three years a new
license t^ any person whose licensomay be revoked.
He would increase the number of freeholders re-
quisite upon a recommendation for license, require
that ell persons signing should reside in the imme-
diate vidnitT of the place proposed to be licensed,
allow no person to sign more than one recommenda-
tion, and requiiy all applications to be presented at
least two montlis before being acted upon. Whenever
10 freeholders residing in the immediate vicinity of
an applicant for license protest against its being
eranted, he would refuse. He believes that the
law should deny licenses to women and to gro-
cery stores, and advises that saloons be kept closed
between the hours of midnight and 5 A. M.. and that
the City provide a penalty for the sale of adtilterated
^quors, in accordance with the State law. He sug-
gests that licenses should not, as at present, expire
simultaneously.
Ha^-ing concluded his suggestions relating to the
ordinances, the Mayor proceeds to i;ivo separately
his reasons for objecting to each of the 1 80 persons.
The reasons are varied, and some of them suigestive.
For instance, he objects to Helena Roehri<i, whose
place is on Paterson Plank-road, near Central-
avenue, because "she keeps a beer and
drinking saloon said to be patronized by the
pnbUe offldala of Jersey Citv very extensivelv,
and maintained as a house of very questionable
cliaracter ;" to John Harper, (a member of the Board
of Freeholders.) because ne keepa a '* bucket shop ;"
to Thomas J. Hannon. (member of the Legislature
from tho Second District. ) because his application is
defective, and to Patrick Nolan, because the place is
reported to be owned by Alexander McCoy, •' a
Justice of the Peace, whose court is held np stairs,
where justice Is dispensed with."
The message was received and ordered to be en-
grossed in fi3l upon the minutes. It will be acted
upon at the next meeting of the board, and the
fdends of good order have strong hopes Uiat it wHl
be suBtainooL The board granted about 60 new
lieenses last evening, agiUnst which no Temonstrancee

PAREKTAGE BT PROIH'.
' 3b the Editor of th» Xnc- York T\me» :
Noticing In The Times of Stmdar an artlcls
under the above beading. I am prompted to say a f eif
words on a subject with which I have been ^»^i1itT
for 21 years, and on which my experience leads me
to a very different conclusion from the one anivBd
at in the article mentioned, and I aak to have my
''little say," because I fear some harm nuty oome to
some poor little "waif and stray;'* some heart
which might have opened to some little wanderei
might be closed, and -so shut ont from it a gre^ deal
of comfort and snn.<;hine.
In opposition tothe two cases mentioned, which I
own are sad enough, I might place my own experl*
enee, and I am sure its biightness would more than
balance their clouds. Twenty-one years ago I adopted
a little one, having no knowledge of her or her ante*
cedents, except that she was }>om in wedlock — ^hei
father a Grerman and her mother a FrencH woman.
Arriving here from Germany in the "WTnter of 1S57,
with three children, they found themselves penni-
less, with no work, and no prospect before them bnl
starvation. X'nder these ■ circumstances they gav<
np-one of their little ones and went theirL'Tray with
the other two, and were never heard of more. I
have often thought of the terrible struggle of thac
poor mother, and I only wish that I knew where she
was, that I might send her tidings of the well-
being of her child. As I remember the lit-
tle one, there was no striking characterlstie
about her — no beauty to arrraet and so gracs
to charm. She was only an ordinary child, bnt thai
she tws a cliild was enough for me I I took her to
my heart and home and bei^an my life-work. Re-
membering as far back as I could in nay own child-
hood, 1 tried to avoid in my training of her what my
own experience had shown me had l^n errors in my
parents' judgment in their training of me. The
struggle was a hard one forme, and brought with ic
oftentimes discouragement, thouj^h, I tb^nlr I can
truthfully say. never regret. True, as you say. pa-
rents often find it a grievous task to rear their own
children properlv, and| in tbe case of an adopted
child the diJBcnlty is much greater. P«*<ruliarlties
^nd characteristics* which often vex and worry might
be accounted for by Idiosyncrasios of natural parent*,
and a loving patience be eierclaed with faults whlah
they taiew were an inheritance. Still, I am inclined
to believe that more faults are acquired than inher-
ited, and I do not believe that totiu depravity lurka
in any little soul when it enters this world. I have
Been the best parents in the world have the worst
children. Sur^y, you will not say that they inher-
ited the evil, and I am compelled to believe that-
the training in tho two inst.inces mentioned had
muoh to do with the bad results which followed- I
remember, as an instance of the devotion of my
adopted child, that once while in a convent, where
she was partlv educated tbe Sisters appealed to hec
to become a OathoUc. Katurally of a devout nature,
her impulses would have led her to embrace th*
faith, but her Spartan reply to the aolidtation wa.«.
"Sister, you say all heretics will go to hell, and if
that is true my parents will ro there, and if they go
I want to go there too." VCould yrru. ask for ffn*at^r
affection than this, or would you mid it in a child for
its natural parents ?
Perhaps I am too great an enthnidast on this sub-
ject, ana it may be my own happy experience has led
me to be too sanguine in my faith in the prixiutiv«
eoodness of humanity- But there are wretched and
forlorn children enough, God knows, and what is to
become of them if we shut our hearts and homes
against them.
' To the childless I would say, take ■ to yourself
one of these needy ones, as much for the good it wHl
do yon as for the sake of the child. It i^n make
you unselfish ; it will soften and nnrify your nature ,-
It will bring yon more of pleasure than of pain ii
you do your <iuty by it ; and it will, if you try to
do right, go far toward securing for you a place at the
right hand of the Father, wlio never yet refoaed ta
ti^e to His bosom the friendless chiJdr

Auburn, Satorday, Aug. 4, 1877.
Four murderers are confined in the Conn-
^ Jail, in this city, awaiting trial at the next
tarxB cf court. The crimes with which they
»t»nd charged were all committed within the
paat six months, and add another chapter to the
ilready dark criminal record of Cayuga County.
rbe murderers are Lawrence ReiUy, aged 20 ;
Cora Tonng, aged 35 ; William Barr, a prison
eoaViot, and Edward Hoppln, aged 25, a young
Buoi of one of the leading familiea of the
ooonty. Reilly is indicted for the murder of
John Harria, a carpenter. He shot the
deceased on the night of the 23d of December
last. Beilly's father kept a saloon In Diviaion-
•treet, this city. On the night of the murder
the elder Reilly got drunk, and Harris assisted
the son in taking his father home. The two
retomed to the saloon, when young Reilly
went in and locked Harris on the outside. The
latter knocked at the window for admission,
when Reilly shot him through the lungs. Harris
died in a ehort time. Reilly's statement is that
ECarris broke in the window, and was crawling
through -when the shot was fired. RetUy was
tried in May, the jury failing to agree, making
A new trial necessary.
WiHiam Barr was a burglar who was sentenced
to Sing Sing from New- York City. He was sub-
sequently transferred to Clinton Prison. There
the officials said he was insane, and he was sent
to the prison asylum at Auburn. After being
■n inmate for some time. Dr. Wilkin decided
that he was not insane, and ordered him
to Auburn Prison, Dr. Hoxie, of that
Institution, returned him to the asylum .
He remained there a month or so when
lie was atraiu trsnsfeired to the prison as sane.
Last February Keeper Harvey Cosier took a
small force of convicts out one day to clear the
ice away from the pavement in' front of the
prison. Among them was Barr. He began to
Insult ladies pas^sin^ along the street, and the
keeper ordered him to behave or go inside.
Barr ateppwl back, and raising a heavy shovel
he was using, felled the keeper to the ground
with a blow on the temple that crushed his
skull. The convict then showered several
blows on the prostrate keei>er with the edge of
the shovel. The other convicts interfered, and
Barr dropped the shovel and ran down the
street. He was captured after a fierce struggle.
Cosier dietl after being carried into the prison
Inclosure. This is the fom-th murder by con-
Wcta that has occurred in Auburn in Jive years,
and the only capital punishment that has been
inflicted in the county out of 10 frightful mur-
der cases in that time was forotie of these
prison murders.
The murderess Cora Youns: was the mistress
of John Barrett, the keeper of a club-house in
this city, who was 10 years her junior. She is
believed to be the wife of a wealthy Vermont
gentleman, the name she is living under being
assumed. La^^t Spring she became jealous of
Barrett's attentions to another woman, and one
night in the early p»rt of June she visited Bar-
Tett's club-house, and compelled him at the.
point of a pistol to renounce all future intimacy
Vith her rival. That night Barrett ac-companie<l
Cora Young to her HDartnients. About 0
o'clock next morning the reports of three pis-
tol-shots were heard proceeiUn^ from
lier sleeping-room. It was entered by
force, and a ghastly sight was presented
to those who had fpiined eutranee. Barrett
lay in the bed. apparently dead, with streams of
blood pourinsr from his head. The woman lay
by his side, with his risht arm about herneck,
and blood llowintc from her temple. Barrett
■was alive but unconscious, and died in a few
luinutes. Cora Youug. who still, held a small
revolver In her hand, was half conscious. She
liad shot herself twice. One ball entered near
her tt.-raple, but had not penetrated
the skUlL lodi;ing in the biick, part
cf her hf-ad» between the si-alp aiifl bone.
The other ball had penetrated the skull
iust above the right ear» and a probe that was
inserted two ii^bes in the brain failed to find
It. The ball is still in her brain, but she has
entirely recovered, and complains of no ill-
•Efects from her wounds. She makes no state-
ment in regard to the murder. It is supposed
that she liad no faith in the promises of Bar-
rett, and determined to kill him and herself at
the same time.
The latest murder in this county — the sym-
pathy of the community seems to be entirely
with the murderer — was the result of a com-
bination of melancholy circumstances which
are ma*le the more prominent by the high
•landing of the parties concerned. The tragedy
occurred in the village of Sterling Valley, in
the northern part of the county, on the 13th
ult. The victim was Philip Proudfoot. son of
the late Dr. Alexander Proudfoot. who was well
known throughout the State. This family of
Proudfdot is one of the oldest and most
aristocratic in the lake country. Isaac M. Hop-
pin, the oldest resident of the town of Sterling,
having been the first child bom in Xorthem
Cavupa, Is a wealthy farmer of the same
Tillage. Between his youngest daughter— then
JiO years of age, hantUorae and accomplished —
and'younp Proudfoot's intimate relation.'* grew
up some three years ago, and it was thought
they were to be married. Under promwe of
marriage the young man succeeded in accom-
plishing the Kirl's ruin, and when her shame
could no longer be concealed he fied from the
vUlage to escape the consequences of his per-
fidy. When Miss Hoppln learned that her se-
ducer had deJ^rted her she attempted to take
her life, but was discovered in time to prevent
the act, and she has since been in charge of a
well-known family in Auburn, old friends of
the Hoppin family.
Edward Hoppin. brother of the unfortunate
pirl, and a young: man of the highest character,
believing the story of his sister that it was only
by the most seductive wiles and ardent promises
of Proudfoot that she placed her honor in his
keeping, vowed that he would sooner Or later
avenge her betrayal. This spirit was made the
more determined when hisaj?ed mother, who had
steadily declin*^! in health from the date of the
exposure of her daughter's shame, died of grief.
Young Proudfoot absented himself nearly two
years. A month or so since he returned to Ster-
ling. Edward Hoppin was clerking in the store
of J. C. Hunter & Co., in the village. The Post
■ Oflice is in the store, and Hoppin also attended to
that. On theevening of the tragedy the clerk was
alone in the store. Philip Proudfoot, whom Hop-
pin had not seen since his return, came in, and
unhesitatingly walking up to Hoppin asketl him
to get Dr. Hugh Proudfoot's niail. This Dr.
Proudfoot was an uncle of Philip, at whose
residence the latter was staying. Young Hoppin
handed over the mail matter, and then walked
to ^e store door, meeting Proudfoot face to
face. A base-ball bat stood near. Hoppin took
tt up and felled Philip to the floor witn a single
blow.
" You ruined my sister and killed mj poorold
mother !'* exclaimed young Hoppin, but before
another blow rould b© struck the store was en-
tered by others, and Proudfoot arose and stag-
gered across the street. The blow had ruptured
voveral arteries beneath his skull, and
}ie died in a few hours. Hoppin was
arrested, and lodged in jail in this city.
Despite the wealth and culture of its popula-
tion, Cayuga County's criminal records, diuing
the past five years, make a chapter that can
only be rivaled by the records of Metropolitan
crime. In 1873 there were seven murderers
confined at one time in the jail at Auburn.
Two of the most celebrated cases in this State
were among the number — those of Conrad
Egler and Patrick Swayne. Conrad Egler
emigrated to this country from Germanv
in 1873, at the age of 10. He reached
jCayuga County, and in April of that year was
employed by Abram Wescott, of the towTi of
Xiocke. to work upon liis farm. We8cott*s fami-
ly consisted of himself, his wife, and an adopted
Ifirl, aged 12 years, named Ettie Conkling. On
the 3d of May following Egler's advent at the
farm, Mr. and Mrs. ^Vescoit left him and the
girl at home attending to their respective duties,
while they went to" the village of Moravia to do
Bome tradincr. Between I'J and 1 o*clock on
that day. a little niece of Wescott, who lived
on an adjoinlBg farm, went over to her uncle's
to eee KUle Conkling. There was
no ono to be seen about the house,
rte girf entered a Uttlo pantry between the
kitchen and dining-room, and tfaiere she discov-
ered the dead body of Ettie lying on the floor,
face downward, with a ahoe-knife sticking in
her back. The girl gave the alarm at once. The
Lkironet was summoned. Six stabs were found
In the girl's breast, and back. One had pene-
trated h*3r heart, nearly cutting it in two. The
tnife had been left sticking in her back by her
assassin, as it had separated the vertebne of the
■pine, and was held' so tightly that it reqidred
t^e main force of two men to extract it
Qieat locks of th« glii's hair had been pulled

thft floor* *Shm houm had b»«in wnMairnJ. boi
the only articles miBslng were a coat and root,
and apair of square-toed boots bel»ngine to
Mr. WMtcott £gler could not be found about
the premises. His boots were found near the
house, and tracks of the boots taken
from the house led away from the
spot He was discovered toward even-
ing at EUis Hollow, six miles from Westcott's.
Altliough armed with a large knife, he
made no resistance to arrest, and admitted the
killing of the girL He said he went to the
house to get sometiiing to eat. Ettie would not
get it for him, and made sport of his broken
En^ish ; he got mad at her, and she kicked
him 'j he kicked her ; she struck him, and
he took up the knife that she had been paring
potatoes with and stabbed her ; she ran to the
door to call help ; he seized her by the hair and
pulled her backward t^ the floor and pitmged
the knife Into . her body until she
was dead; He left the knife sticking in her
back, because when he tried to pull it out it
lifted tho girl's body &*om the floor. Egler
was tried, convicted of murder in the first de-
gree, and sentenced to be hanged on the 6th of
February, 1874. A writ of error was granted
to his counsel, and stay of execution obtained.
Meanwhile Egler had communicated with Ma
family in Germany, which turned out to be an
influential one. A claim was made by the
Gorman authorities on the person of Egler.
After long legal proceedings between the two
countries, it was decided that the claim was
good, and the prisoner was handed orer to the
courts of that countrv. It was stipulated, how-
ever, that he should be punished there as he
would have been here. He was given a trial in
Ms native land, and sentenced to two years* im-
prisonment! It is said that he returned to this
country the piist Spring.
The crime known as the " Feed-bag mtirder "
obtained wide notoriety, owing to the mystery
that surrounded It, and which, legally, still sur-
rounds it. Henry Page, in October, 1872, had
charge of the canal bam of Stoke & BaUard, in
Montezuma, on the Erie Canal. He was a young
Englishman, of a good Caiiadian family. Pat^
rick Swayne was a boatman with whom Page
was intimate. Swayne slept with Page in the
office of the bam whenever his boat laid up at
Montezuma. On the night of Oct. 11, 1872,
Swayne and Page went to the office toother.
Next day Page did not appear. Thirty dollars
that should have been in the office drawer
were missing. Swayne said that about 11
o'clock on the previous night Page told him
that he was going up the canal to see his girl.
He unlocked the drawer, took the money out.
went away, and Swayne went to bed. He .had
seen nor beard nothing of his companion since.
Two feed-bags were alio missing from the bam.
It was thought Page had fallen into the canal
and been drowned, bnt thorough dragging failed
to find his body. He had visited his sweetheart,
and staried back to the bam about 2 o*clock.
In the latter part of August. 1873. a nimiber
of laborers, wno were digging a drain through
a portion of the groat Montezuma ^Iar»h, a mile
from the Wayne County line, came upon the
remains of a man floating in the marsh. Por-
tions of clothing were on the body, and where
protected flesh still clung to the bones. There
was a rope tied about.the neck and one around
the ankles. At the end of each i^jpe a partiallv
decayed bag depended. The bottom of eaon
bag was rotted out. These remains were easily
identified as those of the missiui^ Henry Page.
By marks that still were intelligible, the bags
were recognized as the feed-bags that had dis-
appeared simultaneously with i Page. It was
plain that Pa^e had been murdered, and his
body sunk in the depths of the marsh by means
of weights placed in the bags aud fastened to
his neck and feet. The bags had rott«d in the
swamp, until they were toq weak to hold the
weight within tliem. The bottoms were torn
out. and the body thus permitted to rise to the
surface. Pace's throat was cut, and his lower
jaw bone broken. That he had been murdered
by Swayne was the universal belief. Search
was made for the latter, and he was found and
arrested near Syracuse. He denied all knowl-
edge of the crime, and the evidence on the trial
was not sufficient to warrant a conviction. -
COL, SCOTT TO HIS J/E.V.
ADDRESS TO THE EMPLOYEES OP THE PEIO;-
STLVAJILV RAILROAD COMPANT.
President Scott has transmitted the resolu-
tion of tha Board uf the Pennsylvania Koilroad
Company, thanking tho employes for their fidelity
during the late strike, with the foUowing address :
Pbesident's Office, Aug. 4. 1S77.
To all the lyoyal Einplvyet pf the l*eniisylvania Sail-
road Cotapany :
It gives me preat pleasure to transmit to you the
followins preamble aud resolutiun of the Board of
Directors of this company, tbaukiiig yuu for the
manner in which you writh-stood intimidation and
violence, and thereby greatly aided tho lawful authur-
itiefl in restoriug the use of the highways con>
trolled by it tu the basineks of tha pub-
lic and tho eommerre of the | couBtxy. Al-
low me to cull yoxir attention to the fact
that daring the entire history of thi» company, ex-
tending over a period of mure than 30 years, its mau-
ucement has always conaidt^red the! contentment and
well-being of the men in tta service of the tcreatest
importance ; and it ha^ always felt able to challen^
comparison, both as to rate of c-umpenistttion and caro
for the personal comfort of its eiiployea, with any
other employer of labor in the countrj'. It has al-
ways given a prompt hearing to any complaint, aud
I can safely say that no employe or committee of
emnloyes of the company has ever been denied by mo
a re&pectf al consideration of any allei^ed grievance.
I ought also to say to you, in the frankest manner,
that the recent redaction of compeoisatlon was a ne-
cessity growing out of the depres*ejd condition of all
business interests, and was aaopte<l not before, but
after, every means had been taken in other directions
to avoid it. For the last four year* the uianagement
of this company has been strenuons and earnest in
seeking to secure the best revenues ipossible under the
existing couditiou of businesn, and to diminish its ex-
penditures in every legitimate manner, so as to leave
to you satisfactory compensation far your labor, and
to the owners of the property a lair interest npou
their investment. The reduction! of dividends to
shareholders has been more than twic« as great as the
reducti'jn of your compensation.
The causes that led to the redtuctlon tnade on the
1st of June were fully explained tp a large commit-
tee, known as the Cieneral Grievance Committ«e of
Enf^eers and Firemen, employed en the Pennsyl-
vania Road and leased lines east of Pittsburg, who
conferred with me on the 4th of June last. After a
full Intert^hauge of views, the committee advised me
lu their letter o'f that date thnt "as the business of
the country was so depressed iix all its various
branches, tliey believed it the duty of the engineers
and firemen to cheerfully eo-operat« in advancing the
best intereats of the company." They were, there-
fore, entirely satisfied that tho cninpany had simply
done what was right and proper hnder tlie circum-
stances, and were ready to stand' by ius mimagement
in the action that had been taken J hoping that wh^
the country became more' prosperous their wages
wonlfl be restored to the old standard.
I do not believe that the lawless work of violent
men. which has so seriously deranged all business
relations for the past two weeks, can long postpone
the return of that obedience to law which is essen-
tial to every man in the service lof the company.
Only through the preservation of law and order can
the families and homes of the men, and the men
themselves, be afforded that full pi^otection to which
all good citizens are equally entitltkl.
I desire to impress upon every thinking man in the
spr\iee the great injustice that has been done by
the attempt to enforce a strike scich as was inang-
xirated July 19, without so much as a proposition
for a conference with any officer of the compaoy. I
beheve thatif a proper opportunity had been offered
for a conference, the parties disposed to engage in
such an effort could have been entirely satisfied as to
the necessity of the action taken by this company,
or if it could have been shown that there were pecu-
liar hardships, they could have been remedied with-
out resorting to such lawless acta as have brought
disgrace upon oar whole country.
No alternative was left to tms company, when its
trains and, business of tho public had been interfered
with, but to ask the proper authorities in the various
localities to suppress disorder and enforce the lawj
whereUy its property would be protected and restored
to the possession of its owners. To-day I feel at Ub-
erty to congratulate you upon t^e virtual attainment
of Uiat result, in so far tliat the railways of the com-
pany have been opened to the public and its property
restored, except where it had oeen destroyea by moo
violence, and beg to thank you heartily for yourloyal
steadfastness to the best interests of the company,
which are also your own best interests.
I trust, after the experience of the past few weeks,
every man in the service will feel|it hia duty, u well
as his pleasure, if he has a grievance, to present it to
the proper oflBcers for consideration, and that here-
after the works of this company will be prot«ct«d
from all violence. Your interests' are identical with,
and inseparable from, those of the company. As
yon now share in the adversity consequent upon the
universal depression and sta^atioa of business, you
will be equally sore to share in the prosperity which
I confidently believe awaits the company and the
general business interests of the country in the early
niture. Xerv respectfully.

THK DEMOCBATIC PARTY PLEDaiD TO RE-
PEAL THE RESUMPTION ACT— EMTOBA-
TION OIP THE SILVBB DOLLAR.
The Cincinnati EnqxUrer reports at length a
speech delivered by Senator Back at a mass-meeting
of the Democzttt* of Mason County, Ky,, on the
4thinst. We quote the following, in which he Is
speaking of the Demooratie Party : *' We are pledged
as a party to the tmeonditlanal repeal of the Gold
Resumption Act which the Radicals have fastened
upon the conntry in the interest of the foreign and
domestic bondholder We r^ard tha contraction
of the cqrrencjr necessary to such resumption as the
prime cause |Of the bankruptcy and mln which
tbieaten all tl:^e debtor daasea, and of the paralysis
which has fallen upon our induatries, making beggars
of thousands who are wiUing to work, and
eanaing outbreaks which endanger the peace of the
conntrv, and the security of property everywhere.
We will restore for all purposes the old standard
silver dollar as a unit of value equal to gold ; it
was demonetised by fraud, falsehood, and sup-
pression of the truth by the Radical leaders and
their foreign allies so secretly that even the press,
which learns everything, did not know for months
that it had been done. I hope and believe that we
will saeoeed in requiring the Government to re-
ceive its own legal-tender notes for its customs
dues, and stop its repudiation of the paper it forced
all but the bondholder to receive for all the debts
it owes. We will surely ma-intain our position to
so adjust tariff taxation that its main object, at
least, will be to obtain revenue, and not to keep
it. as now, arraigned to destroy revenue, and quad-
ruple the cost of necessary ariicles to the con-
somers by prohibiting imports, so as to
enrich a few pampered monopolists. With
these reforms effected, and with decent economy and
reasonable honesty in the adminLstration of public
affaiza, with States and people allowed to manage
their private concerns, Iree from ofiicious meddlers,
we will at once become a free, prosperous, and happy
people. I know how little value iis attached to gen-
eral charges of mLsmanngemeut and maladministra-
tion made by the men of one party against the other,
ther^ore I propose to state briefly an outline of the
facts relative to currency and taiatinu. as these are
the pressing questions now. so that each of the audi-
ence can exainiue for himself and see whether or not
the Radical policy Is as bad as I claim it to be.
They hav^ brought the country' by law to the
point where all debts of the Qeueral Government, of
the States, of the munidniilities, of the railroad, and
other corporations, as weil'as of private individuals,
have to be paid in gold alune, or its etjulvalent, on
and after the 1st day of January, lB/9, about 17
months from this date. The aggregate of these debts
is computed! to exceed $0.0007000.000, more than
three tunes |the amount of all the gold coin In tiie
worid. We liave not got. and cannot possibly obtain
before that date, over $300,000,000 in gold, or say
5 per cent, of the uuioont we owe, less than one
year's interest, half of that In the hands of foreigners.
Forced resumption now fastened upon lu is, imder
such circumstances, univer>a) bankruptcy ; the iium-
bor and magnitude of the tailurea of our business
men are fearful to contemplate, and we are daily
going from bad to worse. The Federal and State
Governments, the banks and other great corpora-
tions, are all \ compelled to contract their loans aud
their ctrculatHon in order to meet what they have
outstanding in gold, which they must, of course,
make the smallest amount possible. Xo prudent
man dare borrow money now to invest in any busi-
ness, AS it is obvious that he cannot hope to realise
enough fron^ the sale of any product of iudustr)-
here^tor toi repay the money he borrows and Its
interest in goltL A lender may be willing to
lend .IdOiOOO, taking a mortgage on n farm worth
S'.20,0O4), in the hope of buying it in for the
^10,000 loaned; but the ownerof such a farm, no
matter how much he wants the money, dare not bor-
row it. Yet we are told money is abundant I Cer-
tainly, because safe borrowers cannot bo found.
Manufacturing establishments, rolling-mills. Indus-
tries all over the land whicii demanded vast sums of
money, are^closed, and their hands are tramps or
strikers, because there is not only no prospect of
profit, bnt ftlcertainity of absolute ruin by a continu-
ance of the lousiness. Yet the Ixtudholdcr!! and other
leeches who are demanding gold, and gold only, so
that they can buy projicrty at their own prices, are
continuing the cry ttuit uionuy is cheap and abund^ut.
Does any gentleman hero lunless he is a biuiiiKr or
bondholder) know how, where, or from whom he can
obtain gold to pay hia debts or meet bis liabilities i
The Government pavR gold only to the bondholder;
from him only can ft be obtained, at his own rates,
by tHose who are compelled to have it."

In announcing tho death of Prof. Samuel
Emmons Brown, of the Rochester Theological Semi-
nary, at Lowell, Mass., on Sunday, of typhoid fever,
the Rochester Union says: "Many of his friends
here were not even aware of his Illness until the
news of his death came this morning. He was ap-
pointed acting Professor in place of the lato lamented
Dr. Hackett on Sept. U, last year, little less than a
year ago, but during the tenn he proved himself such
an excellent man for the place that there Is no doubt,
had he lived, he would have been appointed to the
full Professorship. Mr. Brown was bom Feb. 27,
1847, in Portland, Me., and prepared for college
in Phillips Academy, Exeter, N. H. While there
he attracted the attention of Rev. Dr. Andrew
P. Peabody, of Harvard University, and he
wai^ so struck with his brilliant talents that
he paid his entire expenses at Har^'ard Col-
lege during his four years of study at
that Institution. Mr. Brown graduated in a
Class of 100 in 1870. standing second in his class.
He then entered Rochester Theologioal tjeminary,
graduating in 1873. AVhile there he came under the
notice of Mr. J. B. Trevor, the millionaire, who has
been such a good friend to the Seminarv, and he,
too, seemed so struck by the promise ot a future
brilliant career for the young student, that he paid
the entire expenses of his trip abroad after he had
graduated. Mr. Brown, after graduating here,
studied in Leipsic and Halle, Germany, and after-
ward studied modem Greek in Athens, and visited
Egypt and Palestine, thus acquiring a rare and valu-
able experience. On his return home lie was hi>-
pointed to the position in the Semina^, which he
held at the time of his death — Aetiue Professor of
Kew Testanaent Exegesis. He gave promise of being
one of the most brilliant theological Professors in
the country, his accurst^ and qolckness of mind be-
ing remarkable."
CUE FATBASSV^OBED I2i SAN FRANCISCO.
The San Francisco ChronicU of July 30 says :
"A rumor obtained currency through the city late
yesterday afternoon that the mob had arisen in
New-York, captured the City, put it to :flame8, and
were in the act of firing the Western Union Tele-
Cph building on Broadway, when the wires had
n cat and no further news could be received.
This was a highly sensational and inflammatory piece
of news, and appearing to come on sufficient
authority, it was deemed advisable to hold a session
of the Citizens' Executive Committee to provide for
the counteraction of any UI effect it might have on
the mob here. But fortunately the news was not
true. A dispatch this mondng from New- York
states that the interruption to the wires was caused
by a small fire in the operating-room, necessitating
the transmission of dispatches from Jersey City."''

The Qreat Falls (N. H.) Journal says that the

and some days before the accident he dreamed that
he saw Roseoe slide from the rocks and become en-

WAeHlNQTON, Aug. 7--i-The Supreme Court
of tha United States hate rendered decisions as
follows: / , I X
No. 2B—The Aei '-Torh Life Inturanee Company,
ttppeHant, vt. WtUit .m O. Statham and Pamulia A.
JMtdtey, /ormstiy ParmtHa A. SUUham^ and two
other coser.— Appei 1 from the Circuit Court of the
United States for the Southern District of Missis-
■IppL— The first of these caaes is a bill in equity, filed
to recover the amcuntof a! policy of life insurance
granted by the def< ndanta mow plaintiffs in error) in
1851, on the life of Dr. A. B. BUtham, of Missis-
sippi, from the pi oceeds of certain funds belong-
ing to thfr defendants [attached in the hands
of their agent at Jackson iji | that State. It appears
from the statements of the bill that the annual
premiums accruing on the policy were all regularly
paid until the breaking out of the late civil war, but
that in conseouence of that eveut the premium due
on the 8th of Decjember, 1861, was not paid, the
parties assured being residents of Mississippi and the
defendants a corporation of New-York. Dr. Statham
died in July 18b*4 The second case Is an action at
law brought in the same court against the same
defendants to re«)ver the amount of a policy
Issued in 185J> [on the t life of one Henry
S. Seyms, the | husband of the plaintiff.
In this case, also, the prejpi^ums had been paid until
the breaking out of the wiir; when, by reason thereof,
they ceased to he paid, the plaintiff and her husband
being residents of Mississippi. Se>TDs died in May,
187*2. The third i case is a similar action at law
brought in the saine court against the Manhattan
Life Insurance Compaov of New- York to recover
the amount of a policy Issued by ^em in 1858 on
the life of G. L. Bick, of Vicksburg, Miss., the cir-
cumstances being J substantial Iv the same as in the
other cases. The policies lii all the cases were in the
usual form of such Instrunienta. declaring that the
company, in consideratibn of certain speci-
fied snma to tUom. in hand paid by the as-
sured, and of an annual premium of the same
amount to be paid on the same day and month in
every year during jthe continuance of the policy, did
assure the life o^ the party named, in a specified
amount, for the t^nn of his natural life. The noll-
cles contained various conditions upon the breach of
which they were tobenull and void, and among others
the following : " That in caie the said [assured] shall
not pay the said premium on or before the se%-f ral days
hereinbefore mentlonedfor the payment thereof, theu
and in every such pase the said couipany shall not be
liable to the payment of the sum Insured, or in any
part thereof^ and this policy shall cease and deter-
mine." The Manhattan policy contained the addi-
tional provision rtiat in every case where the poUcy
should cease or Ifecipme n\ill and void,
all prerious payments nude thereon should be for-
feited to the company. The nun-payment of the
premiums In arruar was si^liup in bar of the actions,
and the plaintiffs respectively relied on the exi8t«>nce
of the war as an excuse, j offering to deduct the
premiums in arrenlr from the amounts of the policies.
The opinion of the court is |n substance as follows :
"Ajiolicyof Ufle assurance whicii stipulates for
the payment of an annual jpremium by the assured,
with a condition to be void ion non-payment, is nut
an insurance from! year to year, like a common fire
policy; but the pBeminms constitute an aunuitv, the
whole of whicli u tlie consideration for the entire
assurance for life; and the condition is a condition
subsequent, makii ig void the policy by Its non-per---
furmancu. But tie time of payint-nt in such polici^/^
is material, and o(j the fssohce of the contract, au'd
failure to pay invdlves an! absolute forfeiture, which
cannot l>e relieved against in equity. If failure to
pay the annual premium be caused by tho interven-
tion of war be; ween ;the territories in/whicli
the insurance company and the /assured
respectively resit] e, whicJi makes it tuiWwful for
them to hold inteicoursu, the i>olicv Is nevertheless
forfeited if -the co:npany Iniiist on the cojidition ; but
in such a case the uKSured is entitled to the equitable
value of the policy arising from the' premiums jtlready
paid. Tlus equiti ble value is the difference between
the cost of a new policy and the present value of the
X)remiums yet t» ho paid on the forfeited policy
when tlie forfeiti re occurred, and may be recovert-d
in an action at law or suit in equity. The
doctrine olj revii al of contracts suspvudctl dqrintr
the war is pue btM-d on cujiysiderations of equity 'and
justice, and cauiiut iw IriVuked t<t revive a contract
which It would [l« unjiist or Inequitable to revive,
as where time Ls of the^ esscnco ot the contractor
the parties canno' be lAade equal. The average rate
of mortality is i lo fuudameutal basis of life ksau-
rance. and as thi:i is subverted by giving to the as-
sured tiic ojption (orevive their policies or not after
they have bt-f^n KitependiHl by a war. (sinre none hut
the sick and dyinit would apply.) it would be unjust
t«) compel a reviv d acainst the company." Mr. Jus-
tice Bradley delivered the opinion. .

In error to 'the rircult Crturt of tho United States for
the Nortliehi I>is ;rift of New- York. — On the 28th of
June, X^Gi). the >ew -Jersey Mutual Life Insurance
Company inade il s policy of insurance upon the lives
of Anson M. Bakt r and Martlia his wife, undertaking,
upoii the death of either of thcm.^to pay the siir-
vWor the stun of hflO.tHK). 2h[artha Baker died uu
the (ithof I>ecomb**r, IbTO, and this action is brought
/to recover the Jamouut ln.iured by such i)oUcy.
Upon a trial ] luforo Uie Circuit Judge and a
jury, a verdir-t was rendered in favor of
the plaintiff' for the amount claimed. The
Insurance compa ly seeks to set aside the judgment
rendered tipon tMs verdict, for the reasons follow-
ing: I. Tliat th f court erred in refusing the request
nuide by the defundaui's counsel lo (Jirect the jurv- to
find a verdict for the defendant, on the gn>und that
the evidence was not sufficient to sustain a verdict
for the plaintiff. This request was based upon the
allegation that tl ore was undlsimted evidence of a
violation of "certain expressed warranties con-
tained in the J* application, the *J2d," which
referred to the p irtya usual medical attendant, and
tho answer thereto; and also "in regard to ques-
tion No. 7, what members of the partv's fauiily
have died of -or been afflicted with'' certain
diseases name 1, and the answers thereto.
It will not do foi counsel, in requests to the court, to
assitme the exist< -nee of facts, and ask a charge to the
lur)' based upon such assumption. (Oladmon vs.
Railroad Co.. 15 Wall.. 401.) Nor will it do for
counsel, upon argnment before this court, to Insist
that because the coiuisel below made sng^ _as>nimp-
llon we are to cunsider the assumed fac^asexistiug.
An examination of the record before us* shofrs tliat
the statements upon which the above request was
made are withou t foundation. There is no evidence
that the policy contained any agreement that the
statements of th9 application should be express war-
.rantees, or that^they shotdd have any effect what-
ever. There is -no evidence that the sppUcation,
which was upon jthe trial assumed to have been made,
and which contained the questions and answers re-
ferred to, was ever jwesented to the Insurance com-
pany; there is no eridence that the policy of Mr.
and Mrs. Bakejr was based upon such applica-
tion; thet;^ is no evidence that the policy issued
referred in 'any|manneT to this application, or that
this application Referred in any manner to the policy.
On all the«e"poiiits we have no information, The
record Is absoluBely silent as to each of them. The
only inforrastlou we can obtain of the contents of
the policy is froip the complaint and the :iuswer.
The complaint (not referring to any application) al-
leges the executipn of a policy of Insurance for the
sum of ^lO.OUO upon the lives of Baker aud his wife,
in consideration uf the payment of the Bum of
$mi ^0 at th^ time of its insurance, and of the
future annual] pavment of the same sum;
alleges the death of the wife, notice to the company,
the service of proofs, and the performance of uU the
conditions rofjuired. The company answered, ad-
mitting the allegations of the complaint. " except as
hereinafter modltied, and exccDt the allegation that
the plaintiff pert'urmed all the conditions of the
poUcy," as to which it alleges a failure to perform
by reason of' concealing certain information set
forth. The ansWer also denies that the agreement
to pay the [sum named formed the sole
consideration of the policy, but alleges that the rep-
resentations made in the "application therefor"
formed a part oft the cousideration. The answer pro-
ceeds, " secondly, and as matter constituting a de-
fense to the actijou," to allege the making an appli-
cation in writing and the propounding of certain
questions therein, and the answers thereto, and the
Agreement that such statements should
form the basis of the contract of insu-
rance ; that |f untrue, the policy should be
void, and alle|^g that such statements were
untrue. All the special matters thus set forth are
matters In defense, and the burden of proving their
truth rested up<|n the defendant, if this application
formed the basis of the contract of insurance, the de-
fendant shouJd have made proof to that effect at tlie
trial. If the plauitiff had stipulated that any untrue
statement (wh»ither material or not, whether will-
ftilly false or mpstakenly untrue.) should destroy his
poycy, the defendant should have proved at the trial a
fact so material.! No such proof appears in the record.
By the course [of the trial it was assumed that an
application hadibeen made, and that it contained the
?uestious and answers numbered as above set forth.
t is. however, noitfhere admitted or assumed that It
formed the basis of the policy, or that the policy
contained any stipulation in regard to it. The
facts upon which the re<|uests to enarge were founded
not appearing by the record, cannot be as-
stimed to exist, and without examining whetlier
they were properly refused if the facts had
been shown, we can give them no consid^ation.
The second general objection of the defendant is
based upon an alleged error in admitting evidence of
what took place when the answers to the questions al-
ready referred to were vrritten In an application fur
insurance. These questions were put, and the an-
swers were written down by Dr. Wells, the agent
of t^e insurance company, and the applica-
tion was signed by Mrs. Baker. Tliere were
present Mr. and Mrs. Baker, I>r. Wells,
the agent of the company, and Dr. Hlbbard. The
pro-ecdings in relation to question No. 12 will illus-
trate the course of the trial. <^ues0on — "Have tho
parties' parents, brothers, or sisters been afflicted
with pulmonary or other diseases hereditary to their
nattirei" to which the answer was written "No."
Dr. Hibbard was asked to state the conversation that
took place between himself. Dr. Wells, the agent of
the company, and Mrs. Baker, when this question
was put and answered. I To this evidence objection
was made on the * ground that the answer
was in writing, and that it was not compe-
tent to vary the same by parol testimony.
The objection was overruled, and the witness
answered: " I asked In reference to the cause of
death of her brothers and sisters, whether t?iey
d^ of ptilmonary consumption. She said It
was reported thnt two or three of them died of pul-
monary consumption, but there was a difference
of opinion respecting that, and she was unable
to decide, but her view of the question was
tfa«r had Aot died of ocmsamntiou.'' The aamo
qaestipn was put on the trial to the plaintiff a« bad
been pnt to Dr. Hlbbard, and & similar objection was
made. He gave the answer of Mrs. Baker as similar
to that given by Dr. Hibbard, but more in detail as
to the supposed causes of the deaths in the family.
He adds: "After ahe had completed this answer.
Dr. Wells said that where she had no personal
knowledge she was to answer 'don't know.' Dr.
Wells then wrote out the answer. I did not seewhat
he wrote." He testified also that the application was
not read over to Mrs. Baker after being filled out by
Dr. Wells. The subsequent evidence of Dr. Wells was
in some respects contradictory to this ; he stating
among other things, that the answers were read over
to Itrs, Baker ; bnt as the question is upon the admis-
sibility of the evidence, it is not important to con-
sider it. It is manifest upon the testimony that Dr.
Wells, the agent of the company, tmdertook to
construe and interpret the answers of the
applicant, and wrote down and inserted
in the apphcation his constmetlon and
interpretation of them, and not the answers them-
selves. The evidence objected to was admissible to
show that the statement was not that of the appli-
cant, although signed by her. The statement was
one prepared by the company, for which It was re-
spoiwible, and it cannot be set up to defe.nt its
pohcy. The Insurance Company vs. Mahone,
21 Wall., 152, is a full and satisfactory au-
thority to this point, as is also The Insurance
Company vs. Wilkinson, 13 lb., 222. In the
former case the opinion was given by
Mr. Justice Strong, and in the latter by Mr. Justice
Miller, and each of them contains a full and careful
consideration of the precLse question before us.
These cases are so recent and so fulU' in point that
further discussion is unnecessary. The objections to
the other questions are of the same character. Upon
the record Defore us there can be no doubt that the
udgment should be affirmed, and it is s(^ ordered.
Justice Htmt delivered the opinion.

THE POWERS OF VILLAGE TRUSTEES.
In October last the Trustees of the Village of
New-Brighton, Staten Island, attempted to exceed
their powers, contrary to the provisions of the char*
ter. by issuing bunds and borrowing money in excess of
the revenue of the year, and also by charging to the
village the macadamizing of certain roads, which
were properly chargeable to the ward appropriations
after those appropriations Imd beeu exhausted. The
tax-payerSi through their association, protested
against these measures, and warned the Trustees
that they should be held personally liable for their
acts aud for all the costs of any litigation arising
therefrom. President Whittemore alone supported
the tax-pa*~erft, ui^t the other .^Trustees re-
fused to listen to the protest, aud an In-
Joactiou was aobwuiDeotls' ohtaia^ aaEidnst
the Trustees. Judge Gilbert, however, dissolved the
injtmctlon, and the tax-payers appealed to the Oen-
eral Term, which nvezwd Jodfe Gflbait's dadilon
and made the injunetJon pennuignt* The Tnui
then went to Albany, bofore the Ce^dsiature, and
temptedtoget an aet legalizinA their acta. Jrat ' '
They then presented a bill to ueoLselvee as Ti
for their lobbying expenses, about $400, ami' for
their counsel fees and costs In this litigation/about
$1,800. and were about to pay them out ofjChe vil-
lage funds, when the tax-nayers again procured an in-
junction, which has just been argued, and^nade per-
manent by Judge Barnard, on the ground' that these
claims are not legal ^-illage charges, and cannot be
paid out of villftire funds. The suit w^ brought uh-
der the act of 1872 authorizing & tax-payer to briiig
suit to prevent waste to \-illage fniids. George fi
Greenfield appeared for the tax-payers, and Robert
Sewell for the Trustees. 7
SOW MR. PLATET W^S SWINDLED.
A man named WilUani TJllnm4i« reddinf; at
No. 303 Third-street, waa/arraignu before Jostioe
Eilbreth, at Kasex Market Police C^nrt, yesterday,
on the charge of obulning money OQm David L.
Platky, of No. 98 S^-enth-street, on fi
According to the ^position of the compl
appeared that hia brother was arrdted on July
8 for injuring a ehild nam^ John S. Cox
by driring /a horse over him. ' X-Hlsian,
who was rec«itly an officer of the Court of General
Sessions, ^t was discharged on July 1 for permit-
ting a prisoner to escape, told' the complainant that
the magistrate before whom his brother was ar-
raigneji would not admit Mm to bail except on the
pi^seiitation of a cettjficate that the injured
cliikr was out of danger. He intimated to
Phjiky, however, ^at in consideration of $25
Police Surgeon Maclay would sign the necessary
Certificate, and on the strength of that statement
obtained $25 from the brother of the prisoner. A
few days later CUman told Platky that it would be
necessary to pay $20 to Justice Murray's clerk so as
to induce him to keep the papers in the pigeon-holes
of the court. The money was paid by ujo unsus-
pecting Platky ; but Ullman, not satisfied with what
he had already gained, visited his victim
again, after the lapse of a few days, and said that, as
the papers had oeen transmitted to the District
Attorney's Office through a mistake, a further bribe
of $15 would be requisite to keep them off the
calendar. This sum was also paid, but Platky,
Buspectinff that something was vrrong, applied to
Justlee Kilbreth for ad\-ice. and thus learned that
TJUman's statements were untrue, and that he had
appropriated the money to hia own use. Dr. Maclay
testified that he had not received any money from
Ullman, but that lie had nevertheless issued a certi-
ficate that the child had recovered, and, on the
strength of the assurance of the surgeon, the papers
in the case were retained at the Police Court. Tlie
accused was held in defatdt of $2,000 baa
A QUARREL IN BAXTER- STREET.
On Sunday afternoon, July 8, Mrs. Margaret
Mains and Mrs. Mary Maclntyre, Inmates of the
same tenement-house, in the rear of No. 119 Baxter*
street, indulged in their daily habit of drinking the
vile eoneoctiou whidi in Baxter-street is called
" Bourbon Whisky, ' and grew quarrelsome. A
wordy war followed. In tlie course of which Mrs.
Mains called Mrs. Maclntyre a thief. The latter re-
torted by stating that Mrs. Mains Uved with an ac-
knowledged thief, which remark so enraged the party
to whom it was addressed that she caught up a table-
knife and stabbed Mrs. ^laclntyre on the head, In-
flicting an ugly scalp wound. On seeing what she
had done, Mrs. Mains ran down stairs
and secreted herself in a cellar, while her
^ictim was carried off to the Chambers-Street
Hospital. The pri.wner was subsequently un-
earthed from her hiding-place and lodged in the
Tombs. On her trial, in tho Court of General Ses-
sions, yesterday. Mrs. Mains admitted having quar-
reled and rlenched with her adversary, but solemnly
denied all knowledge of the stabbing. She accounted
for Mrs. Maclntyre 's injtiries by stating that that in-
diridual was beastly drunk, and had, in the struggle,
fallen upon a stove, thereby wounding herseli^ It
being a question of oath against oath, the jurv finally
agreed upon the minor verdict of as-sault andbattery,
and Jud^ Sutherland .sentenced Mrs. Maina to six
months m the Penitentiary.
FIVE TEARS IN STATE PRISON.
On July 7 a young man named James
Reilly, a truck-driver, knocked at tho room door of
Daniel Dunne, a pensioner, at No. 13 Thompson-
street, and was courteously invited to enter. Dunne
gave further evidence of his hospitality by sending
out for beer,, which was brought in by Reilly s wife.
To procure the necessary money he had to take a $5
bill from au envelope containing $100, which he con-
stantly kept between the mattresses of his bed, and
carefully looked at night and m.oming. Another
pitcher of beer was procured and drank, and shortly
afterward Dunne became semi -unconscious, the bev-
erage, according to his statement. ha\'iiig been tam-
pered with. While lying helpless he was robb<^, and
awoke to consciousness next day to find the treasured
envelope IWug on tho floor, with its contents gone.
He thereupou had Reilly arrestwi, and the prisoner
was placed on trial by Assistant District Attorney
Herring, in the Court of (xenural Sessions, yesterday.
In answer to the questions of counsel for the defen.<ie
Dunne indignantly denied that he had drank ou the
day of the alleged theft, but under nrossure admitted
that he had " gone to tho grocery stoi-e and ta^en a
little whisky and cider and the like to qneneh his
thirst.'' Reilly, in his own defense, took the stand
and denied I he theft, although when arrested by Detec-
tive Reynolds he acknowledged he had taken the
money. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and
Judge* Sutherland sentenced him to the full penalty,
five years in State Prison at hard labor.
ANOTBER DOG CATCHER IN TROUBLE.

battery against a dog-catcher named Thomas Birmer-
hom. Mrs. Fleming is the proprietress of four ca-
nine pets. On Friday evening, while she was seated on
the stoop of her residence, a poodle reposing peace-
fully in her lap and another dog of uncertain breed
sleeping behind her, Birmerhom appeared «u the
scene m a dilapidated wagon, ac'comi^uinled by a
juvenile assistant. Alighting lu frdht of Mm. Flem-
ing's door, the dog-catcher unceremoniously appro-
priated the poodle, while the assistant took charge of
the unoffending nondescript canine slumbering be-
hind his mistress. Recovering from her surprise,
Mrs. Fleming .sought to r^&in possession of her pets,
and was. as she aUeges, struck riolently on the breast
by Birmerhom and knocked down. He then threw
the dogs into the wagon and drove away. Birmer-
hom denied assaulting the complainant, but ad-
mitted haviuj^ obtained possession of her dogs in the
manner described. Justice Kilbreth held him in $300
ball to answer.
CRUELTY TO A HORSE.
The case of Thomas P. Hughes, of No. 110
Tenth-avenue, who was arrested by one of Mr.
Bergh's officers on the 30th of July last for alleged
cruelty and ill-treatment of his horse, came up be-
fore the Court of Special Sessions yesterday. Mr.
Borgh appeared for the {Hrosecution, and by way of
more fully illustrating the wretched condition of the
horise to the court he exhibited a photfl|graph of the
aniniaL It was a revolting picture, discjosing a large
hole in the head, showing the muscles tobe com-
pletely gone, and presenting on tho whole a most
emaciated and attenuated form. The horse was
found in the defendant's stable, by Mr. Bern's offi-
cer, feeding and reclining on its own filth. The de-
fense was that the horse was always well fed, and
was at the time of the defendant's arrest in as good
condition as when he bought him. Hiighes was con-
ricted and. sent to the City Prison for lO days.

PLEASURE XACBT BLOWN UP.
A telegram from Folton to the Syracuse
Courier, dated 4th inst, says.- ''The boiler of tho
yacht Hattie E., of Osw^jo, exploded at Hinman\-iile
at 4 o'clock this afternoon, while rotumine from
Oneida Lake with an excursion party consisting ol
D. E. Taylor. County Clerk ; Kaiisum G. Ball nnd
wife, and W, G. Pentdow aud wife, with John
Brcnan. engineer, and a steersman named Abram.
The party were in a hurr>- to pet home, and had 160
pounds of stAm on at the time. When in the lock,
the water out, and tho gate shut, the f rplosion oc-
curred. The boat was blown into splinters. Mrs.
Ball was cut. bruised, and l^cald€-d. and subyequently
died. Mrs. Pentelow was taken out with the pil^
pole alive, but scalded and bruiged about the head,
arms, and chest. Mr. Pentelow ,was i^calded in the
back of the neck and legs. Brenati's head, chest,
and handti ^-ere badly scalded. The rciit are no>
dangerously hurt."
AVENGING HERSELF ON THE CHURCH.^
The Colombus (Ga. ) £'«^i>er printa this state-
ment: "A n^TO woman who was a member of the
choir of fbe Ijocoat Hill Church, which is situated in
Musoogee County, near the line of Harris, wna re-
qnested not to sing with the choir. She got mad
with the church, and told them that if she couldn't
sing no one elae should, and Moudiiy the church was
burned down. She was arrested, mid confessed set-
ting the house on fire. Locust Hill was probably the
beet finished house the negroes have in this secLiuv
and the woman deserves severe punishment."

Mr. JoHX Kelly isquot^d by the World
■ as authority tor a statement in regard to the
City debt. VTe absolve Mr. Kelly from any
personal knowledge of the merits of this ex-
hibit, since it may be fairly doubted
■whether he could, if he tried, correct the
footiugs of the • table of figures given
to the reporter. Mr. Kellt was found
by the repjorter engaged, "as usual, "" in
signing warrants, and XTe suspect that his
nseftduess as Controller begins and ends
there. The main purport of the statement
_■ issued in his name is to prove that during
the last seven months the funded debt has
^ incrt^ased-only $316,54:9, but as a portion
of. the taxes has been applied to the ex-
tiuetion.of $711,30-i of old debt, it is
obvious that we have been contracting new
debt at the rate of more than if.lb(),000 a.
month. We do not find in the statement
any reference to the so-called " temporary"
debt issued in the form of assessn^nt bonds,
nor is there any attempt made to dissipate
the prevalent suspicion that claims
and judgments against the City have
atteorbed a good deal more than the
ajnouut appropriated to meet them.
tAs, for reasons best known to himself, Mr.
Kelly has ceased to make public the
iponthly statements in regard to debt and
expenditures which were begun by Con-
troller Greek, he need hardly complain if
people get it into their heads that ho has a
j_, personal interest in returning to the old
■ Byst«m of financial mystification so success-
fully practiced . under his quondam friend,
CccrsoLLY.
/ Of course, the increase of the City debt is
*ccoimted for by the rather stale excuse of
•• legislative interference." It would puzzle
either Mr. Ket.ly or the World to show how
laws which authorize the issue of new
tonds can be removed from the statute
book unless by the aid of the Legislature,
and since it rests with the Board
of Apportionment, (simply another name
forKiiLLY-,) to say when any of the bonds
so authorized shall be issued, it is not very
easy to see how the present financial admin-
istration can ; escape the responsibility for
the increase- of the debt. It happens,
moreover, that the legislative action
taken last Winter to check, once
and for all, the increase of the City
debt, and to provide means for its
gradual extinction, was nullified by the ve-
toes of Gov. Robinson, which were given
at the ' instance of John Kelly. For in-
stance, taking Mr. Kelly's own statement
of the net increase of the funded debt,
three-fourths of that amount is accounted
for by the issue of bonds for the use
of the Dock Department. The law
under which that issue is made
■would have been repealed but for the inter-
ference of EoBCJSOJi and Kelly, and the
volume- of current expenses would also have
been so out down as to reduce considerably
below $15,000,000 the amount of revenue
bonds needed in seven months. But then,
we should have missed, among other things,
the Inxury of a Commissioner of Jurors at
$15,000 a year.
Jlie Stoats Zeitung gives in an article,
reproduced in another colunm, some very
aigmficatit indications of the course of the
majority of 6«iman Democrats in the Fall
campttign. thai paper has an undoubted
olaim to WMweat the »entiiaenta of ilui
24,000 voters who, tmder the most
hopeless cinnimstanoes, supported Mr.
Ottendoeper for Mayor in 187-4.
When it assumes the position, therefore,
that the candidates of Tammany Hall,
no matter of what character, must be
opposed, and when it gives very excellent
reasons for that attitude, it must be held to
speak for the element which holds the bad-
ance of power in this City, and to fore-
shadow a course of action which
only needs the hearty co-operation of
Republicans to render certain the defeat
of the nominees of Kellt. In addition to
the general reason that any candidate elect-
ed by Tammany Hall must be prepared to
do it-s bidding, there is a specific rea-
son for voting against all its nomi-
nees in the position taken by Gov.
BoBrssoN that Tammany represents the
majority of the voters of New- York, and that
no legislation ought to pass of which it does
not approve. The disproof of that pre-
posterous assumption will, at least, compel
the Governor to seek some other reason to
excuse his political subserviency to Kellt.
It appears that the Samoan Government
has made formal application to the Uni ted
States and to Great Britain for pi'oteotion
and assistance in maintaining the peace and
independence of the island Kingdom. Ex-
actly what now constitutes the Government
of Samoa it would be difficult to say. Du-
ring Steinberqer's brief career, h/Nn-
vented and set up a patent reversible/form
of Government which could be ohimgj
from a monarchy to a republic, or froirf a
republio to a kingdom, " at the pleasure
of the wearer." Since his downfall,
things have probably returned to their
aboriginal lawlessness, the strongest man
being on top. It would be an interesting
state of things if the Governments whose
protection is invoked should both agree to
play the part of protector. Up to this date,
however, the independence of Samoa has
not been seriously threatened by anybody.
And the peace of the kingdom depends on
the people, who, unless they have been
spoiled by their brief spasm of civilization,
are peaceful enough so long as they are not
compelled to wear clothes and work for their
living. .
The President has issued a proclamation
forbidding, under heavy penalties, the sale
of arms and ammunition to Indians within
the limits of the United States. It is
strange that such an order should be neces-
sary, and, especially, that it should be pro-
voked by the conduct of the men who are
continually complaining of the aggressions
of Indians. But the cupidity of fron-
tier traders overcomes their discretion,
and it is a notorious fact that they will sell
powder, shot, and weapons to Indians with
the same secrecy and defiance of law witli
which they sell them whisky. President
Grant was obliged to issue a. similar proc-
lamation of warning, and this latest mes-sage
is made necessary by the discovery that
United States troops in the North-west are
fighting Indians armed by mercenary white
men. , . -'
^
TUB WORST FOES OF LABOR.
The working man, after faring badly in
an unequal contest with incorporated capital,
is now in danger of suffering from the selfish
zeal of demagogues and party managers.
He has been neglected ; he is no'^y to be
patronized and petted. He has endured a
much harder struggle with depression and
poverty than persons not brought into
contact with him have dreamed of ;
he is now encouraged to hope for Govern-
mental help, and the attainment of a condi-
tion which socialism and communism have
promised as the result o£ their success.
The transition is not difficult of explanation.
The recent strikes, with all their folly,
brutality, and crime, served one whole-
some piurpose. They directed atten-
tion to the condition of large masses
of labor after a period of unexampled
business embarrassment and disaster. The
losses and anxieties of employers of labor,
everybody knew. The world had wit-
nessed, moreover, the effect of the trial
upon the great corporations, railroad and
industrial, on whose prosperous activity
enormous numbers depend. How the
latter endured the ordeal, and in what state
it left them, few of us understood with
anything like precision. The preva-
lence of destitution in the large
cities was a fact that could not be
ignored. The condition of workmen in
more remote districts — along the lines of
trunk railroads, in the black neighborhoods
of coal mines and iron works, wherever
large bodies had been congregated imder
the influence of a factitious prosperity — was
to most of us as a sealed book. Whatever
else the disturbances have done, at least
they have opened the eyes of the
American people j to the order of
things which has I grown up among them
so gradually as to be unobserved. The
boastful contrast between the New World
and the Old is found to be no longer possi-
ble. Beneath the vicious elements which
produced the riots and retained the ascend-
ency while resistance to lawful authority
lasted, the country traces evidence of hard-
ship, of suffering, of destitution to jin ex-
tent for which it was unprepared. No one
needed to be told that capital emerges from
the panic and the consequent strain im-
paired, burdened, timid, and distrustful.-
The reports that come from the Pennsyl-
vania coal region as to the condition! of
labor, like the reports that had come previ-
ously from some forms of labor on the Balti-
more and Ohio and, the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads, are, however, little short of a revela-
tion.
Party managers and demagogues gener-
ally are quick to turn the discovery to ac-
count. The striker^ and rioters have votes.
These wretched miners in and about Scran-
ton have voices in the choice of rulers of
the land. And all of them have symaa-
thizers more or less ardent in the mines d.nd
at the furnaces, ia large factories, snd
wherever the railroad system extends. 1 1 a
democracy these forces are too potent to
remain long neglected. Politicians disc* srn
in them the means of controlling an eleeti }n.
How the discovery operates we have seer in
Ohio. Democratic leaders fan the flames of
insurrection by ascribing to the Federal
Government, as adininistered by their jp-
ponents, direct responsibility for the pros-
tration and distress which have overtaken
employers and employed. The ill-pkid
w<»kmeii and their starvin^^ families are
told br tb« authon |>f the Democratic vl at-
^1
form that their misery is politioal in its
origin, and may be cured by the accession
of the Democratic Party to power. More
mischievous dema^gism cannot be easily
conceived. Had the Ohio Bepnbli-
caus contented themselves with put-
ting on record their co&viction that
corporate authority needs to be limit-
ed and looked after, and that the labor
problem must henceforward occupy some of
the space at present devoted to ordinary
partisan topics, their proposition would
have stood in creditable contrast to the
lying declarations of the Democrats. But
Judge West, the Republican candidate for
the Governorship, has done his utmost to
obliterate the distinction. Certainly, noth-
ing very wise could be expected
from' a man who sums up his financial
philosophy in the saying, " No contraction,
no expajision, no depreciation, is my
motto." He who is capable of bo much
nonsense might well be supposed to be
capable of any absurdity. We cannot af-
fect surprise, then, that at a later stage,
referring to the resolution of the conven-
tion and the general relations of capital
and labor, the Republican nominee
launched into a communistic tirade
that must have delighted any member
of the International Federation of La-
bor i who happened to hear it. From
an avowed anarchist such sentiments would
have been natural enough. From the nomi-
nee of a great party — and that the party of
conservatism and order— they are incom-
prehensible. Judge West may honestly
old them or he may not. If he does, the
is how he obtained the nomination.
If he simply yielded to the temptation of
the moment, and pandered to the ignorance
and prejudices of the working men among
his audience, his recklessness proves how
dangerous the question of labor may become
under the manipulation of foolish or tin-
principled politicians.
With the representatives of both parties
thus intent upon using for base purposes
the unhappy condition to which many
branches of labor are reduced, what more
natural than that the demagogues and in-
cendiaries who are more nearly allied to the
labor organizations should once -more como
to the surface f The New-Yorker, McDon-
nell, preaching to the workmen and loafers
and ruffians of Baltimore the unadulter-
ated gospel of communism, ought not
to 'excite astonishment after the Ohio
display of Judge West. There can
be no halting-place between right and
wrohg, between lawlessness and authority,
between the peace of well-organized society
and the anarchy of the Commune. And
when a man holding Judge We.st's position,
for the sake of obtaining votes, assails the
principles which imderlie the natural rela-
tions of capital and labor, the appearance
of men of the style of Mr. McDonxell on
the [scene follows as a matter of course.
Their mission is to drive home the logic of
Judge West, and to carry out folly
the disorganizing doctrines to which
he ■ gave imperfect utterance. We
shall yet hear much more of and
from them. Events have rendered promi-
nent a series of questions which have
hitherto been excluded from practical poli-
tics.] The obligations of corporations, the
restraints that may be put upon them, the
guarantees of somid and honest manage-
ment that may be exacted from them — form
somi; of these questions, and those, perhaps,
which more than any other involve the
l^armoriy and well-being of interests
which are really identical, but are
for the time divided. If any progress
is to be made with questions of this
character, it ia evident that they must be
kept out of the arena of partisanship, and
must t>e investigated in a spirit very different
from that ivhich is cultivated by the dema-
gogues. They are not likely to allow the
present opportunity to pass imimproved.
But if ever the condition of labor is to be
bettered, it must realize the fact that it has
less to fear from the encroachments of cap-
italists than from the wiles and delusions of
sUly and dishonest men.
QUALIFICATIOSS OF CO^'SVLS.
The primary purpose in the appointment
of Consuls to reside in foreign ports was to
aid and facilitate Americans engaged in
commercial pursuits. This object, by the
way, should not be defeated and commerce
be overburdened by oppressive consular
fees on tonnage or for debenture, triplicate,
and other lauding or invoice certificates.
Coniiular agents can assist merchants and
promote commerce chiefly in two ways:
First, they can collect and put into the pos-
session of merchants, not only annually or
quai^terly, but monthly, commercial informa-
tion pertaining to the course of trade and
commercial regulations jn the countries
where such Consuls reside. This oflieial in-
formation should be published immediately
upon its receipt by the State Department,
and not kept from the public until it has
become stale and worthless, an(J then buried
in ponderous volumes, as has been the
custom of the Government heretofore.
These monthly or weekly consular reports
from all parts of the world should be made
accessible to merchants, and should embrace
not only all the statistics of trade which
the authorities of each foreign country have
collected, but notifications of all changes in
duties, port charges, and regulations. Thfc
closing of old channels of commerce aim
the openiiig of new branches of industry
and trade are matters about which every
intelligent Consul should inform not only
the Secretary of State, but, through him,
the people of the United States.
Another way in which a qualified Consul
can assist his eountrymen engaged in foreign
commerce is in serving as the channel of
communication between American masters
of ships or merchants and the authorities
of the coimtries or ports with which they
propose to trade. Foreign of&eials are
far less accessible than our own. The
people of all countries are more suspi-
cious of strangers than our own people. A
private citizen of the United States in a
foreign port gets no favors or courtesies
Let a
asked
for by a Consul or other officer of the Unit-
ed States, especially if such official enjoys
social relations with the authorities of a for-
eign port, and almost any concession will
be granted not clearly contrary to local law.
TBe I importance of this point is imderrated
by the inexperienced. Competent Consuls
can largely relieve commerce of local bur-
ieaai and restrictions, if their influence is
when a petitioner in his own behalf,
relaxation of regulations or rules be
what it is possible for it to be. In most
foreign aonntries an exaggerated importance
is attached to official station. A Consul
ranks between a Colonel and Lientenant-
Colonel at the French court, and such
q^cer may everywhere enjoy social stand-
ing unless his manners or character pre-
vent it. As business is made secondary to
society in other countries, the Consul who
has the largest social influence has the
largest business influence.
And this brings us to the essential ele-
ments of fitness. The Consul must have
commercial knowledge and consular expe;
rience to perform efficiently one branch of
his duties. He must have standing and
social consideration in the community where
he lives, in order to exercise over the local
authorities, in behalf of his countrjmien,
the influence that will most promote their
interests. What qualities or elements of
character give this measure of merit which
we call- inflnence f They are the same
the world over. A cultivated mind and
cultivated manners, the outward bearing
of a gentleman, and an inner life of honor
and morality ; in short, solid abilities and
solid worth bring enduring influence and
consideration in public station. A knowl-
edge of the language of the country where
a Consul resides is important. He should
atleast pay the people with whom he lives
the compliment of striving to acquire their
language with all the energy he can com-
mand. French should, of course, be mas-
tered by &QJ who aspire to a consular or
diplomatic career. The difficulty has been
that our foreign representatives have not
often spoken correctly one language. It is
doubtful if one American Consul in ten can
accurately speak or write the English lan-
guage. Speaking the English tongue with
accuracy is not an American accomplish-
ment, j It shouldfirst be ascertained whether
applicants for Consulships speak their own
language before they, are required to con-
verse in Chinese, Modem Greek, or Ja-
panese. Oiu" scholarly Secretary of State
could probably learn in a half-hour's con-
versation with those ambitious to represent
us abroad whether or not they would do us
discredit by daily murdering their mother
tongue, and whether they possessed the in-
telligence and the manners of gentlemen.
This kind of civil service examination,
by which attainments and accomplishments,
social and intellectual, are made known and
a knowledge of business and of the world is
tested, is the-kind that will best determine
the qualifications of Consuls. They, like
our Envoys and Ministers, the officers, in our
Navy and the masters of our merchant
ships, are representatives, in every sense, of
their country abroad. As they cannot di-
vest themselves of this general representa-
tive character, care should be taken that all
classes of our foreign agents should truly
represent our business intelligence, enter-
prise, and activity, our learning and culture,
and whatever is most refined and elevated in
thesocial side of our American life.
TWO GOVERNORS.
It is a matter of no special consequence
whether Gov. Bedle, of New-Jersey, does
or does not approve of the interference of
United States troops in the domestic broils
of indi\'idual States. This particular phase
of a loiig-agitated question has been made
promintint by the use of soldiers in the
Southei n States. As the Governor of New-
Jersey is a Democrat, we might safely as-
sume til at, like Gov. Williams, of Indiana,
ho thinls that the use of the military in the
South has not only been oppressive to the
Democratic Party, for the time being,
but ha I also been subversive of various
" dearlj-bought rights." But the attitude of
these t vo Governors, under more recent
and trying circnmstances, is worth a mo-
ment's consideration. Gov. Bedle is the
chief ececutive officer of a State which is
covered with a net-work of railroads.
Strikes were made on some of the lines, and
were tlreatened on others. The malcon-
tents were in easy communication with each
other, a ad an hour might have witnessed an
overturning of constituted authority which
would h ive plunged the little State of New-
Jersey into hopeless anarchy. New-York,
with its throngs of roughs and " commun-
ists,"' WHS near at hand, and the danger of a
destructive riot was very great. The
Governtr seamed determined to quell
or prevf nt the! disturbance with the force
which the Statlci Constitution had given him.
He might hav^ sent off a piteous telegram
asking lie citizens of Hoboken and Eliz-
abeth to rally jfor the defense of property.
Or he m Ight have invoked the aid of the
Army ol the United States. He did nothing
of the sort. But he called out the State
Militia, md before the riot was fairly ready
to show itself, Jit was fully understood that
every gi n beloinging to the State would be
brought to bearjupon the disturbers of the
peace. The United States Government was
not harissed. : No weak attempt to put
do'wn a i nob by 'fviudy resolutions was made.
There w as no riot, and no bill of damages.
The danger oyer, .the Militia returned to
their pluces as citizens, and the doughty
Governo r wentj im with his daily dip in the
Long Branch surf.
James D. WtlLlAMS, of Indiana, on the
other ha id, though no more nor less a Demo-
crat thai Gov.! Bedle, pursued a different
course. Wheifj the trouble began at Fort
Wayne be dallied with whimsical notions
about a jitizens' vigilance committee. The
Mayor o : the city telegraphed to him, and
so did tie railway managers. The railway
propert) was seized and held by armed
rioters, in i defiance of law and
authority. Sheriff, Mayor, and eon-
stables were powerless before the mob.
Gov. WiLLi.4.MS,|soon at his wits' end, ap-
parently wanted. ,to know if the huge, dis-
orderly, lawless army ^-rioters could not be
taken core of by a committee. But such a
process seemed incapable of execution at
Fort 'SVajme. ' Gov. Willlajis, like all
weai men, 'iras ready to abdicate
his own pow6i S before using them. So
he rushe d to th< National Government for
aid. M a Deii ooratic demagogue, he had
denotmced th^ |iise of United States troops
in ! State affairs as a ustirpation. "When he
wds pla;'ing halilequin in Congress, habited
in ^ suit of nati re blue jeans, he was loud-
mouthec . in his. < ipposition to the Army. He
wanted :t reduced to ten thousand men or
less, anc he declared that its employment
in I the : lettlemt nt of domestic broils was
subversive ofljliumau liberty, tyrannical,
and nne )natitimonal. With manifest trepi-
dation.
, Ukelj
dog- out. l^i
the
now
darky
vowed
adrift in
that some-
thing had to be done. So, to
avoid " going back on his record," as these
small politicians put it, he asked the Secre-
tary of War to help him. liike a sneak, as
he is, this piiissant Governor avoided the
formal declaration that he had not sufficient
force to put down the rebellion ; he would
not comply with the terms which the law
prescribes in such eases. But he went
around to the back door, so to speak, and
begged that the Army be handed out to him in
away which should not attract the attention
of his constituents.
Probably by this time the good people of
Indiana have learned that a suit of blue
jeans cannot govern a State. When this
person was Democratic candidate for
Governor, we took occasion to say that his
clothes were all that he had in the canvass.
The Democratic managers did not allow
Williams to make any speeches. On one
memorable occasion he did break loose from
his keepers, and the destruction which was
thereupon visited on the English lan-
guage and the plans of his party
was great. For the rest of the
time he was securely muzzled; and
placed on exhibition is blue jeans, speech-
less, he was reckoned a great political card.
Whenever he appeared in his character as
" a man of the people," "a son of the soil,"
rude, rough, but honest and able, the ap-
plause was tremendous. The people of In-
diana elected the blue jeans to office. We
hope they like the clothes as Governor.
They have certainly got nothing else.
THE CZARS DILEMMA.
Since the Seven Years' War destroyed her
prestige as the leading State of Centi-al
Europe, 114 years ago, Austria's normal
position has been that of a drag. . In 1812
the fear of offending her compelled Napo-
leon .to guarantee the Kaiser his Polish
provinces, and thus relinquish his darling
scheme of planting a new Kingdom of
Poland as a thorn in the side of Russia.
In 1853 her doubtful attitude wrecked the
Russian invasion of the Prinoipalities ; and
now, at a time when she may be said to hold
the casting vote of Europe, her attitude is
the same as ever —
" Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike."
yet doing by her very indecision almost as
much harm as she could inflict by open
hostility.
It is said that the Czar has asked the consent
of the Austrian Government to the passage of
the Russian troops through Servian territory,
in order to fall upon the flank of the Turkish
Army in Bulgaria. Servia will undoubtedly
demand the recognition of her independence
in return, and Austria has already hinted
that she will make no objection, the Princi-
pality being virtually independent already.
But after Servia, Bulgaria will ineffably
come forward with the same request, and
this is a much more serious matter. It has al-
ready transpired that this is the one innova-
tion which .^iustria cannot and will not per-
mit, and the Czar is thus placed in the
dilemma of quarreling with her by compli-
ance, or offending the whole Slavonian world
by a refusal.
Nor is this all. Bulgaria's demand, if
made, wiU undoubtedly be supported by
Gen. Ignatieff and the "whole strength of
the " extreme " Russian Party, the influence
of which is increasing in proportion to the
deepening ferocity of the war. Prince
GoETsciL.\KOFF and the advocates of mod-
erate measures express their willingness to
rest satisfied with the attainment of the
object for which the war was ostensibly
commenced, viz., the assurance of safety
and freedom to the Christian subjects of
the Sultan. The more violent party, on the
other hand, will, by their own admission, be
content with nothing less than the giving
up of the Turkish fleet, the cession of Kars,
Batoum, and Trebizond, the opening or
closing of the Dardanelles to all nations
alike, and the recognition as independent
States of Roumania. Servia, Bosnia, Bul-
garia, and Herzegovina. It will be re-
marked that this programme, like the secret
compact at Tilsit in 1S07 between Napo-
leon and Alexander I., leaves Roumelia
and Constantinople still in the possession of
their present masters. Such an arrange-
ment is evidently intended as a checkmate
to the possible intervention of the Western
powers ; for, with the Sultan still at Con-
stantinople, and Roumelia, t. e., Turkey
proper, still attached to it, Russia may
argue, \vith some show of reason, that what
she has done is not to crush the Turk, but
only to liberate the Christian. Whether
this Slaehiavelian policy will be finally
successful remains to be seen.
MISS JOHNSON'S FLAN.
One of the most striking eharacteiistics
of woman is her cheerfiU perseverance in
looking under the bed for a man. No man
in his senses evei* looks under the bed for a
woman, but there are millions of women in
this country who would find it qviite impos-
sible to sleep in any bed under which they
had not previously searched for a concealed
man. Experience is lost upon them. The
average uimiarried woman of 40 yeai-s of
age has usually looked under the bed at
least 7,500 times, without ever once findmg
the expected man, but she is not in the
least discouraged by so long a course of
failure ; and it would be easv to find women
of SO or 90 yeai-s who still nightly search
for the man whom they have never found.
Miss Johnson, of Evanston, will here-
after be famous as a woman whose long
perseverance has been signally rewarded.
It would be indelicate to inquire into her
precise age, had she not described herself
in a recent affidavit as having been born in
the year 1834, and we may therefore take
it for granted that she is at least 43 years
old. If we assume that she began, to look
mider the bed at the age of 15, it follows
that she has performed that ceremony more
than 10,000 times. Until last Friday
night she never found the .smallest frag-
ment of a man under her bed, but on that
eventful night her perseverance was re-
warded, and the long-sought man greeted
her astonished gaze.
Miss Johnson being an immarried lady,
not wholly unconnected with the milliners
trade, and full of womanly independence,
resides entirely alone in a small house con-
taining but three rooms — a kitchen, shop,
and bed-room. Dogs she despises and eats
she mistrusts, while as for men, she regards
them as poor creatures who may possibly
have their uses in time of drought, when
water must be carted from the creek, but
who, as a rule, make more trouble about a
house than thalr necks are worth. Holding
thoee views, it natnally follows that Miss
Johnson lives alone, and the cool bravery
with which she locks np her house at night
and seeks her solitary couch, no matter if a
first-class thunder-storm is in progress, has
for years been the admiration of the more
timid of her sex.
It was about 11 orcloek last Friday night
when Mrs. Johnson stooped down and looked
under her bed for a possible man, precisely as
she had done on ten thonsand previous nights.
Whether she was or was not astonished at
perceiving a large-sized man lying under
the bed with the back' of his head toward
her, will never be known, but, at any rate,
she gave no sign of astonishment, and did
not even inform the man that she saw him.
On the contrary, she resumed with great
deliberation the nocturnal twisting of her
back hair, and even softly hummed " Hold
the Fort," with as much distinctness as
could be expected of a woman while holding
a comb between her .teeth. Her back hair
being finally finished, she opened her win-
dow, turned down the lamp until it gave
forth a dim and modest light,, and then
stepped gracefully into bed, but .not to
sleep.
That sagacious woman was perfectly well
aware that the man under the bed, not stis-
pecting that he had been discovered, would
creep forth with a view to plunder as soon
as he found that she was asleep. The bed-
stead stood in the comer of the room, and
from the position of the man it was plain
that he would creep out at the side of tie
bed. Miss Johnson, therefore, changed
her usual manner of composing herself to
rest, and lay, as she subsequently expressed
it, " flat as a pan-cake," with her head pro-
jecting over the side of the bed at the pre-
cise locality where she expected the man to
appear. For at least half an hour she lay
perfectly still, watching for the man with
a stealthy vigilance that wotdd have done
credit to an astute and experienced
cat. Not a muscle 'or a hairpin of
her frame moved, and her breath-
ing was as slow and regular as
that of a profound sleeper. At length the
man, confident that she was asleep, softly
began to worm himself from under the bed,
moving after the manner prescribed by way
of penalty to the original serpent of the
Garden of Eden. Little did he imagine that
a pair of pitiless gray eyes were waiting for
the appearance of his head, while a pair of
lithe and nervous inlands were ready to
pounce upon his efts. It was not many
minutes, however, before each ear was sud-
denly caught in an inexorable grasp, and
his head began to oscillate with remarkable
speed between the floor and the edge of the
bedstead.
Vox MoLTKE himself could not have sur-
passed Miss Johnson's tactics. She had
the man completely at her mercy, and he
was as helpless as though his head were in
the stocks. At first his captor maintained
a grim silence, but after she had bumped
him sufficiently to ease her mind, she ad-
dressed him upon the wickedness and folly
of seeking to rob her. In vain did the man
protest that his motives were innocent;
that he had mistaken the house, and had
merely intended to take a quiet nap under
his own bedstead, where -the' flies could not
find him. Miss Johnson sternly told him that
he could not make her believe any such
nonsense, and that she would " let him
know," and would also "show him." These
throats were carried out by a renewal of the
bumping process, until the man yeUed for
mercy so loudly that the neighbors were
aroused and rushed to Miss Johnson's house
with the firm conviction that a gang of
burglars had murdered that excellent wom-
an, and were quarreling over the division
of her spoils. It was not until a strong
force, armed with clubs and hatchets, had
recklessly entered the room that iMiss John-
son surrendered her captive, with the re-
mark that the sooner they took themselves
off the better, and that if any other man
would like to hide under her bed, she was
entirely ready to knock a little sense into
him.
Thus this intrepid woman not only de-
fended herself with the most signal success,
but she pointed out the true way to deal
with a man under the bed. Most women
would have tried to poke the man out with
a broom, at the same time requesting him
to •' shoo." The resiUt would have been to
expose themselves to an attack at a very
great disadvantage. Miss Johnson's plan,
on the contrary, places a man under the bed
entirely at the mercy of a cool and courage-
ous woman, and those women who may at
any time hereafter find a man under their
respective beds will do weU to imitate her
example, and share her well-earned glory.

London, Aug. 8. — An occasional con'es-
^ndent of the Times, at Vienna, says the asser-
tion is imtrue that Russia has asked Austria's
permission to march troops through Servia.
It is far more probable that Ser-
via will spontaneously take the field
to repay Russia for past services. The news
h-om Belgrade does not admit of any
loubt that every measure is being taken
to enable the Servians to be on the
frontier in a fortnight. Apparently
the fact of I?ervias taking the field will be re-
garded at Vieiina altogether otherwise than
had it occurred some weeks ago. Count
Audrassay will accord Russia beaten many
advantages he would have bad to refuse Russia
victorious. At most he will occupv Bosnia, and
thtis bar the western roads to the Servians.
The Timns' Belgrade correspondent says ; ** It
Is rumored thnt Austria, with the consent of
Servia and Russia, will occupy the western part
of Servia. Two high Austrian officials have ai^
rived in Belgrade."

TSJE TRO UBLES I.r THE COAL SEGIONS
Wilkesbarre, Penn., Aug. 7. — ^At Wana-

move several trains of loaded coal-cars and
bring in empty ones, so that the miners, a few
of whom were willing, might work, but the
ICrikers uncoupled the engine and made the en-
mneer go away. To-day Deputy Sheriff
Rhoades, with a posse, went there, backed by a
company of United States troops. He ran out
all the loaded cars without being interfered
■with. A passenger train on the Valley Road

TO HAVE ACTED "WTTHIN HIS INSTRUC-
TIONS— THE SHERIFF CENSURED FOR HIS
INACTIVITY.
fecial DUpateh to the IfevyTork TimeM.
Reading, Penn., Aug. 7.— The Coroner's
inquest in the case of the 10 citizens killed in
the riot on the evening of the 23d of July, af-
ter deliberating upon the testimony for several
days, rendered a verdict to-day substantially as^
follows : I
Fir8(~-The said persons came to their death by a
firing of the mllitaiy upon the rioters.
Secofwi— That the soldiers of the Fourth Regiment,
National Guard of Pennsylvania, while m&rcliing
through the railroad eut were continoally assailed
with stones and brickbats, a distance of two squares,
accompanied with pistol shots; that many of the
soldiers were badly wounded, some of them
being knocked down two or three' times ; that no
order was )^ven 1o fire by the commanding officer;
that it would be expecting too much of untrained
soldiers not to fire nuder such fearful peril ; that the
Inquest cannot censure them for the miLnner in
which they acted.
TMrd — ^That the military were nnder the direo-
tions of Majpr-Gen. Bolton, who communicated his
orders to Gen. Reeder, who was instructed to report
to the Sheriff, Mayor, or railroad of&dals; that
he was requested by a railroad ofBcial
— the Sheriff and Mayor not being about
— to release a passenger train in the
hands of the mob, and that while complying the
firing took plact. It appears that Gen. Reeder was
acting within his instractious. and if any blame is to
be attached it must be borne by the superior ofEtcer
in command..
fourth — That the responsibility for the terrible
tragedy Is directlv attributnljie to the lawless bodv
at the. comer of Sevemh and Penn streets, who were
Instigating the riotous pn^ceediii^, while many were
present, not as inciting to riot, but out of idle curi-
osity ; they, nevertheless, by their presence gave aid
and confidence to the mob spirit which initiated the
disturbance ; that the latter are the persons primarily
responsible for the nubsequent trcuble and bloodshed
and should be held to the severest accountability.
I\r'th — The Mayor's absence may be a sufadent ei-
cusefor the inactivity of the citv authorities.
6'urtt— The testimony sliows Chief of Police CuUen
faitlifol to his duty, but di>e3 not equally conmiend
the Sheriff, who made no attempt to provide for the
preservation of the public peace, althocgh ui^ed
to organize a posse during the dav. An offer
of men with arms and antniunifion to the Sheriff, to
suppress the riot, was declined by that official, who
significantly romarUed that the mob also had arms.
All that the Sheriff of Berks County did.
after waiting a whole day in, his office, was to
isxue his procJamation at 5 o'clock iii>the evening,
calling upon citizens to remain at home. In conclu-
sion, the Sheriff liaving neslected and refused to per-
form his obvious dutv. is. in a measure, responsible
for the events which followed.

THE REORGANIZED CHARTER OAK.
STATEMENTS INJt-RIOUS TO THE COMPANY
DENIED BY SEN.\TOR EATON AND COM-
MISSIONER STEDMAN — THE CONCERN
SAID TO BB IN A SOCND CONDITION:
iS^pectal Z>u|paXcA to the yew-York Timt».
Hartford. Conn., Aug. 7. — The n^^
managers of the Charter Oak have been some-
wuat annoyed by statements recently circulated,
that they contemplated a '" freering-out "
cotirse toward the policy-holders ; that the
company has no funds to meet dt^th claims, and
no means of securing any., Senator Eaton, one
of tlie new Directors, in conversation with
your correspondent to-day denounced the cir-
culation of such statements as purely malicious.
He suggested, with a show of fetling, that it is
preposterous to charge Gov. Jewell and those
connected with hira with improper designs to-
ward the policy-holders, and claimed that their
personal and btisiuess reputation, unquestioned
up to this time, should be regarded by all fair-
minded men as a suihcicnt refutation of the
charges. Continuing^, he said, "You may say
on my authority that the Charter Oak is all
right, that the company is not pressed for
funds, and that the prospects for restoring the
company to a sound condition and making jrcod
the existing impairment are very favorable."
In reply to a remark that a rumor is gaining
ground that Fnrber retains a connection
with the company under a new contract
even more advantageous to him than
the old one, Senator Eaton denied the
truth of it and stated that Fnrber is wlioUy un-
known in connection with the companr. except
as lessee of the Quinnemont Mine and furnaces
in West Virginia, whicb he has leased from the
Charter Oak for $24,000 per aniium. State In-
surance Commissioner Stedman criticises the
stories that have found their way into print iis too
.absurd to be worthy of attention, but believes
it would be quite as well to have the policy-
holders made aware of their falsity, to the end
that they may not be misled' into aban-
doning their policies to their own loss and the
injury of the company in its work of recupera-
tion. Regarding the finances of| the company,
he says the funds are on hand to meet all
claims ; premiums are flowing in, and if more
ready money is wanted, the company can get it
from gentlemen who have faith in the new
managers, and believe they are doing right
TBE FIRST SENATORIAL DISTRICT
GEORGE TnLLIAM CURTIS PROPOSED AS A
CANDIDATE, AND CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
THE ISSUE. !
To the Editor of the Xeuh York T^ttw* .-
In a review of Republican prospects in the
Senatorial districts of this State, published in Tu£
Times a few days ^o. it was stated that. L. Bradford
Prince having declined a renomination. the First Dis'
trict must be conceded to the Democrats. Now, it
has occurred to me that this district affords an ex-
cellent opporttmity to test the potitieal results of
thoimuch talked-of "civil service" reform and the
extent of the support that it is likely to receive: from
the public The First Senatorial District, on a full
vote of both parties, is undoubtedly Democratic by
1,000 or 1, 50O majority. Yet, under the
system of - conducting campugns hitherto
in vogue, Mr. Prince wms ; enabled to
cany the district for the Republicans two years
ago, and, for five years previous, ,he succeeded in
carrying his Assembly district; which Is also re-
garded as Democratic. Mr. Prince is a good cam-
paigner and a hard worker, but it is doubtful whethe
he could have succeeded inrarryuig his district for the
Republicans so many years if he had not been aided
by »vhat is stigmatized as the " machine." Being a
poor man, he has always been as-^i^ted in his canvass
by the contributions of office holders in his district,
and some of them have devoted a huge portion of the
time not employed in their official duties
in canvassing the dLstrict for him onlthe eve of elec-
tions. Ali this, as I understand the new doctrine
of civil service, has got to bei stopoed. No man hold-
ing office under the Government will be allowed to
take any part in the campaign beyond casting his
vote, aiid candidates for office on the Repubhcan
ticket will have to rely on their own exertions and
their own money, or ujKjn such assistance as may be
volunteeretl by citizens having no other interest
than the gratification derived from the success of the
RopubUcan Party. I frankly confess that I do not
believe in: this new theory of "civil service." But
with regard to this as with regard to Hayes'
•'.Southern policy," I am wiJling to give it a "fair
trial," and, as before remarked, the coming
election foir Senator in the First District affords an
excellent opportunity to test its merits and its: popu-
larity. All Republicans will concede that it is of the
utmost importance to the party that it should pre-
serve its ascendencv in the State Senate for the next
two years. Now, the people of the First District are
fortunate in having among tiiem the champion par
exeellenee of "civil service" reform as it is now
being carried out by President Hayes. I refer to
Mr. George William Curtis. He is not only a repre-
sentative civil service reformer, but Is ad-
mitted to be a stanch, unwavering Republican,
and one of the ablest and most cultured
man in the nation. Let the Republicans of the First
IHstrict nominate him unanimously as Mr. Prince's
successor; let them make civil service reform a lead-
ing issue in the campaign, and see to what extent the
people of the district are ready to 5Upp<irt the new
aoctrine. '. It is claimed that many Democrats are also
civil service reformers. If so, they will have an op*
portunitr to further their views by voting for Mr.
Curtis. *I trust that the Republicans of the First
Senatorial District will put Mr. Curtis in nomination;
without a dissenting voice, so that the public can
witness the results of the new method of conducting:
political campaigns as compared with the old. The
advocatea of the new civil servic* can never have a
jaci« favorable opportunit? or u better candidate.

UNDER CONSIDERATION — THE TROOPS
KMPLOTED AT THE SCENES OF THE
STRIKES.
■Slpecrfai Dtapatdi to Ou ITeW'ToTk 1%me».
Washington, Aug. 7.— At the Cabinet
eeting to-day Assistant Secretary Serward pre-
tuted a communication from the President of
te Navigator or Samoan Islands, requesting
le United States to take them under its protec-
ion. It seems that the German E^mplre has
n looking that way, and is making an at-
>nipt to secure the islands as a colony,
hich is not favored by the present Government
>f the islands. No decision was arrived at in
ifegard to the matter, but members of the Cabi-
net express the opinion that they are too far
distant to make an alliance with them of any
1 ►eneflt to the United States. These islands are
1 he scene of the exploits of an American named
! rteinbewier, who went there as Consul of the
.Tnited States, and succeeded in getting the
I Sovemment into his own hands.
The Cabinet also considered the propriety of
pmoving the United States troops from the
\ K)ints where they were sent to protect property
I luring the recent strike, and it was decided
: hat they should return to their respective gar-
isons, except in cases where, in Gen. Han-
< ock's opinion, their presence was still neces-
lary.
TRIALS OF OUR MINISTER TO SPAIN
ilXACTINO NATURE OP TH^ EXTRANEOUS
SERVICES DEMANDED ol" HIM BY AN UN-
GRATEFUL PUBLIC WITHOUT, AS MUCH AS
A ** THANK YOU " WHEN COMPLIED WITH.
Washington, Aug. 7.— The Department
>f State, in a recent communication from the
L'nited States Legation at Madrid, is informed
>f the multifarious correspondence with which,
n ad^tion to its legitimate duties, it is too fre-
[uently burdened, by the application for mer-
santile information, as well as for many trivial
lalls upon its time. It would seem that scarcely
, I week elapses without application being made
!or what is almost impossible for a re-
presentative to supply, however willing he
iiay be to oblige his countrymen at
lome. and in maiiy instances It is not encour-
igimr to have da^s of patient effort pass without
^ven *' thanks '* to stimulate like efforts in fu-
ture. For example, within a year or two re-
quests have been mode for complete statistics
[>f irrigation and drainage, of railways, of man-
ufacturing establishments engaged in a particu-
lar industrv, of the iron-clad and wooden Navy
of Spain, of the proceedings of the Patent Oflice
In Madrid, of births and deaths through-
out the Peninsula for the current
year, and, in short, for matters
not accessible in every case, and for which
statistics could not bt compiled, without arduous
and unrequited labor ou the part of the officers
of the Spanish Government or of the already
overburdened legation. Applications have
been made even for the purchase of libraries,
collections of seeds, to procui^ certified copies
of variotLS legal documents, archives in distant
parti of the countrj-, and, iu fact, to perform
the office of gimeral commission agent. It is
further stated that while our representatives
are willing to perform services for their coun-
itrvmen, it is expected that they will do so only
wheu not inconsistent with their official duties,
and that no right exists to demand of them
these extra ofhcial acts.
THE PHILADELPHIA CUSTOM-HOUSE.
REPOKT OF THE COMMISSION ON THE CON-
TROVrRSY BETWEEN COLLECTOR TUTTON
AND INSPECTOR ARNOLD — SHALL A PUB-
LIC OFFICAL HAVE OTHER EMPLOYMENT f
Washington, Aug. 7. — The following is
the report of the Philadelphia Custom-house
Committee upon their investigation of the con-
troversy between Collector Tutton and Inspec-
tor Arnold, heretofore alluded to in the press
dispatches :
Philadelphia Penn.. Arxg. 1. 1877.
IToji. John\Ske7inan, Secretary of tlur Tretteury :
i>iR : \\"hUe proceeding with the investigation
author' zedlby your iustnu^tions of June *J. our atten-
tion was dlrectcl by a letter of the acting Secretary,
dated July|G, to a controversy between the Collector
of the Port of I'hiludelpliia and Inspector Arnold,
stationed at Uie port of Cliester, as to which we were
further instructed, as follows:
'* You wtU inquire coneomlne thedatltMof an Inspec-
tor at tliatjport, whether Mr. Arnold ha» properly ut-
t4.>nded to tihem, giving hia whole time to the Govern-
ment service. You will also re)K}rt whether, in the judg-
ment of Iho commission, the rwent action of the Collec-
tor In removing Mr. Arnold was taken after tho receipt
of a dispatch oy telegraph from the Secrotury of too
Treasury prohlbltinj^ such action ; and farther, what
vhaoge.'lf any, is necessary to insure the proper coUec-
tion of the Customs at fhenter end rlcinlty."
We have' inquired as directed, and reiwrt thoreon
aa follows :
F\r»t—Th!0 duties of Mr. Arnold are. in generaU »U such
as are required bv statute and regulations of any Inspec-
tor, and he Is ite only Customs ofllcer in his disirict,
(wliich inchides the City of Chester, with several miles of
adjacent colast. ) except a watchniau, wlio is employed only
when nlt;hc service b* requirrtL The duties which ho htiM
ordinarily to perform are Uelenniiied by the nutun; of the
commerce of the port and tho purjjoiiC* for which veib>els
eut«r liis diatrict. Fr(jni a summarj- submitted by him
of his ser\" ice for four yeara, we conclude
that his chief duties have been to board and
Inspect vessels coming into his dJulrict whether foreign
or couxtwise. and take charge of all vessels entering for
the deliver>- cf inipurtB. and *uperint«nd their dis<;harife.
■^\Ti»-nenKU|E«^ in the latter «:r\ice the time of the ll;-
spectiT Is fully oet:upie*l, but the duliverj" of iiuports at
Criesti-r has irrcatly diminished of late, and only a few
cargoes of lu('wu<xl. lath, and planter have been dis-
, chartted thtre during the past vear. The boardiug of a
• vessel ami the examination n{\\.A papers take but u little
while, and the amount of this kind of sf nice, although
considerable at times, hai» not been sufficient to keep the
iutipector occupied. Though iiivestt-d by law with the
powers of a Deputy Collector. (Kevwed Statutes, section
5.044.) the inspector sei-ms to have had no occasion to
exercise thtm further than to occasionally administer an
outb.
tfecwtw/— It lias not been shown that Mr. Arnold has
not proiierly atlen^led to his duties, unless by not huvin^;
glveii his wliule liiue to the );o\-ermnent ^e^^:iee. We
6onciu«lu from the evidence that since be has \j*^n In-
spector he huH ifiven an average of about two hourh i>er
dav to U'.-tuttl service. It appeara al-so that from ois ap-
pointment lo June 1, nil., he held the position of man-
ager or book-keeper iu the dfflce of tbe iXuu'ure C'ourttjf
iitfnihikun^ and has bet;n paid tor that scn-ic: $lo
per week. During wdd period he itave more or
' less of the time for which he received
I compensation as inspector to this newspaper work, but it
was not sliown that he neglected hLn oiilcial duty or cavo
preference' in any way to his private oecupatloiL This
.practice of engaging in other business seems to have pr»j-
vaUed formany years at that port, and without objec-
tion, until Collector Tutton. being advised thei-eof. colled
■Mr. Arnold's attention to It as wrong in principle and
not permissible, and In that conclusion, on the laeta of
tne case, we concur. It is due Mr Arnold to add that
after such notihcution he ga^ « up the . newspaper con-
nectiou. and has not since May last been cngwged in any
other than Government sen.i<^e. Hi« capacity was not
(lueatloned, and no cliarge other than as atK>ve stated has
been made against his character.
Xfttni— The re'-ent a'.-iion of Collector Tutton in re-
mo^-ingMr. Arnold bv appointing and administering the
oath of oflice to Mr. Frick in his place on June 30. ult..
was fakenlbefore the receipt by him on thai day of the
dispatch by toleirmph from the Secretary of the Treasury-
rohibiting su<;h action. We «*;« no reason to doubt the
g(»odfaithiot the O/Ucctor'rt action in that respect, and
And no e\idenco of intent on his part to disregard in-
structions inr to slidw disrespect to his official superior.
Fourth — ^Tne rtnal instruction we understand as relat
in:;. lik« the Ifvst of our froueral instructions, to the
amendinent of the law, and in this re^spect we have only
to sBV tbot. ijthough there was evidence tending to show
tiiat tht? ofttce of tiesident Ins[»ei:tor at Chester might be
safely abolished and the ser\ice there conducted by detail
from this port, we are not satisAed that this is
ad%-ijiable. It is true the duties of the office
have not hitherto occupied the fall time of
the Inspector, bat he complains that he
has been and is unable to do as much as he might for
want of proper fadUties, such as a boat and boatmen
with which to board vessels in the stream, which h«
thinks should be provided. Tne night officer has also
complain'^ of the inadequacy of his crjmpensation in
view of the labor he has to perform. We are not suftl-
clently informed as to the substance of these complaints
to malto any recommendation other than that they be re-
ferred to a special agent or other suitable authority for

Chicago, HI., Aug. 7.— The trial of Wil-
liam C. Pike for the murcier of
S. S. Jones, proprietor of the JSeliffio-
Philosophieal J&ttmalj in March last,
■was coDclnded in the Criminal Court here
to-day. The evidence showed that Pike had been
an inmate of two insane asylums within the past
SOyears, and that hehad committed a number of
acts that no sane man would have done. In
1870 he was confined inpe Taunton, Mass.,
Lunatic Asylum, and in 1870 and 1871 on
Blackwell's Island. The evidence disclosed a
sickening mess of spiritualistic and free-
love practices by all the parties im-
plicat«a in thjs case. The counsel
^bmitted the case without argument, and a
verdict was returned to the effect that de-
fendant was not guilty, but that he did kill
Jones as charged in the indictment, and at the
time was insane, and stiU continues to bo
insane. Pike was remanded into custody, and
will bo sent to the Elgin Asylum. This is the
first verdict of the kind ever rendered here.
A SAN FRANCISCO BROKER KILLED.
JOHN E. DAILY, FORMERLY OF NEW-YORK,
SHOT AND RILLED BY THE CONSUL-

OP THE FATAL QUARREL.
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 7.— John E.
Daily, a stock broker, was shot and killed to-day
by Leslie C. ifanks, Consul-General for Guate-
mala, in this city. The trouble grew out of a
trifling disagreement last Saturday between
Hanks andEmil Kuranda, Daily's partner. Daily
took up the quarrel yesterday and worsted Hanks
in a perconul encounter. Bystanders state that
Hanks approached Daily from behind and shot
him without warning. 'Hanks claims that Daily
approached him threatenin*;lv with a heavy
cane, and that ho fired in seifdefense. Hanks
is in confinement, awaiting examination. Daily
was formerly a broker in New-York, and has a
family in New-Haven. Hanks was formerlv a
member of the shipping firm of J. C. Merrill &
Co. Both men occupied high social positions,
and were in easy circumstances.
GRANT AND DON CAMERON.
THE CLOSIKG DAYS OF THE LAST ADMINISTRA-
TION— ^A SOUTHERN STORY OP DISCORD
OVER THE SENDING OF A WAR DEPART-
MENT TELEGRAM TO NEW-ORLEANS.
From, the yetc-OrUans Times, Avg. 3.
Col. W. M. Le\*y has given to the Natchi-
toches Vindicator an interesting account of some of
the In-slde workings of the Grant Administration at
the close of its last term. Concerning the order
which President Grant issued to tien. An^nr for the
withdrawal of the troops, Col. Levy says:
" On the 2d of March. Gen. Grant* showed to us
the draft of the order directine the withdrawal of
the troops in accordance with his previously declared
iuteutiuii, wi'ich he said he would send to ^n.
Aji^ur by telecraph. That ten. Grant did direct
this order to be sent I am fully satisfied and con-
vinced ; how or by whom it was suppressed or with-
held I am unable to state, and iu time, perhaps, a
disclosure may be made which will fix the perfidy
where it belongs."
Tliere Are some curious and interesting facta con-
nected with this matter which the Tiine» cai\ now
properly give to tho public Tho President issued
tlie order mentioned by Col. Levy, just as he agreed
to. It was sent to Gen. Sherman at 12 M., March '2.
For some reason the President did not submit the
order to the Secretary of War, nor did the Secretary
know that it had been issued, until by accident he
learned that it was in the Adjutant-General's hands
for transmission to Xew-Orleaus. He inunediately
ordered the Adjutant-General not to send it. as it
had not come ttirough "the proper militarj- chan-
nels," meaning the War Office. Gen. Townsend
tried to say that "the President and Gen. Sherman"
— 'The President and Sherman, too I" broke in the
anpry Pennsylvanian, *"1 am either Secretary of
War, or I am not. Grant, who is an old soldier,
oueht to have known better than to do a thing which
is a deliberate insult to me."
He directed Gen. Townsend to notify Gen. Sher-
man that •* the order to Gen. Au(c:ur to remove the
tro"jp6 from the State-house in Loaisiana was with-
held by the Secretary of War for sufficient reasons."
Gen. Sherman went at once to the President, and
said that while he would send the order himself if
the President wished, yet as it was one oi great im-
portance it had better go through tho proper chan-
nels, and be signed by the Secretary of War, and
that he thought Caaaeron had better be sent for.
The President himself wrote Cameron a note, and
asked Mr Lucky, his private Secretary, to be 'the
bearer of it. as the matter wan One of great im-
liortance. ilr. Cameron iirinediately went to' the
White House, and found tho President and Gen.
Sliemian awaiting him.
'• Cameron," said tho President. ''I issued an order
to-day for the removal ot the lro{)p3 from the Louisi-
ana .State-hou^te. I learn that yuu have suppressed
it. Why did you do tiiis ?" "Mr. President.'' said
the Secretary. " you are an old soldier aud a verj-
distinguished one ; I do not bt-Ueve you would put
an insult upon me. Yet I find yon db<regarJing the
plainest principle of official etiquette, by transmit-
ting orders which should go through my hands,
wii hout my knowledge or consent. As the Secretarj-
of. War. I rank Geu. Sherman. He is my subordi-
nate. He has no riffht to forward any order, not
oven from vou. unless it goes through the regular
channels. Vour cnnduct was in-egiular. I stopped
the onler. If you insist upon its being sent by Gen.
Shennan, I stiall notify Gen. Augur to disre^a'rd any
orders not sigiu-d by nie. While I am Secretary of
W»r I am entitled to the consi<Jenition that Wlongs
to the position. If it is not a*.-c*>rdt'd me by my sub-
ordinate's, 1 Avitl take cure to see tiiat its neglect is
property resented.'' Gen. Sljermau's face was a
study. l.'iKm the points of etiquette Cameron was
right. Tlie President sat still, liis face as motionless
and imiHissive as that of Secretaiy Stai:lon, that
stood near to his richt hand, carved in stone. As^
Cameron rose to go he said : "Mr. President, 1 have
uiily two days more to' serve in your Cabinet. If you
desire my resignation it is at your service."
Mi-anwhile, iJie Louis-ianidans who were interest-
ed in the success of tlie Conser\'ative catuie were
very uneasy.
I'bf best informed of them knew the order had
been issued. Grant had told Gov. Penn und Major
Bnrke that he meant to send it, aud would see that
it Went at once into effect.
There happened to be an old Louisiana college
friend and classmate of Cnim-ron in Washington.
It was known that the friendly relation.'s between the
two had been nmintAiued, altlutugh the one was a
Kepublican, and Secretary of War. while the other
is one of the most sagacious and far-sighted of South-
em politicians. As this gentleman's personal rela-
tions with Cameron were of a character that gave
liim the entree to the war office at any hotu*. he was
requested to find out what the matter was. He
eohed. and of course was at once admitted.
"Don.'"he said. " what is the hitch in that order
of Grant f I know that it "was issued at 12 M. to-
dny, and I also know that it has never left this city."
Tlie Setretarj' replied that Grant had tried to send
the onler without his knowledge, and that lie had
stopped it. He gave Major his reasons, and said
that, while he wi« a Ilepublicun, he felt that there
ought to be ft change in the ini^nageraent of Southern
affaii-s. That he had withheld the order as much
froni persomil reason?, and a feeling tiiat ho had not
been treated h.s he should have been in the matter.
as an>*tbini; else.

Boston, Mass., Aug. 7. — The following
will appear in the Herald to-morrow morning:
Fabragct Hocsb, Rye Beach, N. H., Aug. 7.
The declaration of ex-Special Treasury Agent
Moore that I attempted to black-mail him 'does not
contain a sinele element of truth. I never sought at
any time to communicate with him, either . di-
rectly or indirectly, for anv purpose whatever.
The statement that I published certain papers
after failtire to obtain money from him, as
the price of their suppression, is equally
false, since tlie papers 'in my possession re-
lating to h*T^ have never yet "been published
anywhere. No papers affecting him from the official
flies of the Treasury were ever put in my hands
by Mr. Stnrtevant or any one else. Mooro
was not removed on account of the exhibition
of such papers as he describes to the
President or Secretary. His removal followed from
the discovery of a series of original documents,
laj^ly in Moore's handwriting, showing be-
yond possible doubt that at the time Secre-
tary Schurz and Charles Sumner were attempting
to mvestigate the Santo Domingo matter through a
cominittee of the Senate, Moore, then Assessor of
Internal Revenue In Texas, entered into a
conspiracy with Gen. Babcock and Cola.
Whitely and Nettleship, of the Secret Ser-
vice force, to shield Babcock and defeat
some of the most important objects of that investi-
gation. To accomplndi this it wM necessary to get
one of the witnesseaa against Babcock, living in
Rhode Island, out of the way. Moore manufactured
an affidavit charging this witness, who had been a
Union soldier in Texas, with murder. On this he
pTOCtired a requisition on the Governor of Rhode
Island for this witness. Hoore came with these na-
peis to Washington. Babcock, who was thon at fitie

THE GERMANS AND TAMMANY HALL.
From the Ktw-Tork StaaU-Ztitwng, Aug. 7.
Some of the daily papers of our City have
been endeavoring for some time to prove the necessi-
ty of defeating Tammany Hall at the approaching
Fall eleeticHX, and call to mind the result of the elec*
tions of the past six years so as to show the possibili-
ty of such defeat. They show that every time when
the several opposition elements did Jointly proceed
against Tammany Hall, a decUive victory was won,
and that whenever the Republicans made independ-
ent nominationa, they only have in an indirect way
facilitated the success of Tammany Halh
The position which the German voters of our City
have assumed In regard to Municipal elections in the
course of past years, has correctly given rise to the
inference that they can be considered one of the most
reliable and strongest elements, which, nnaffeeted by
party considerations, will use their influence, and
cast their votes to secure an honest and economical
City Administration. This acknowledgment of the
merits of our German voters is no meaningless flat-
tery, but a truth stistained by the experience
of many years. Tne adopted German citizens of otir
City do not elidm any great merit on account of their
course, nor do they think themselves entitled to any
special concessions. They have simply done their
duty conscientiously. The stand they took was the
result of their coniaction as to what was necessary
for reforming our Municipal Administration, and they
knew full well that in taking this stand they did
best and most efflcientlv guard their interests as citi-
zens of otur Municipality. They are not strong
enough to secure by their own exertions the desired
and necessary reforms, and hence they are inclined
to unite with those who haVe the same end in view.
Prom this purpose they cannot be diverted by disap-
pointment, nor by the abase of any success ivhicb
they aided in winning.
It mubt be stated that those psrsons are laboring
under a mistaken idea who think they have secured
the German voters under all circumstances, and can
use them for their political ptirposes. when they
have, in fact, obtained their co-operation only for
a stated purpose. The Germans are of opinion
that our Municipal affairs should be independent of
party polities ; and hence, it is qtiite natural that to-
morrow they may oppose those in whose ranks they
fight to-day, and at the same time declare war asalnst
the corruption of one party iu the Gty of New'. York
aSd against another party in the State or' Union.
Whoever charges them with acting inconsistently
does not comprehend their motives, and has only to
blame hinoseli that an uiibearable party regime has
been got rid of on one side only to be encotmtered on
the other side.
*Vhe election of pood, ieser^-ing, honest officers is
the main purpose of the efl'vrts of the Germans. For
this reason, it might be said, tliey could just as well
support the Tammany nonunees,' provided they come
up to their expectations. Tammany Hall has, in
some cases, nominated and elected good candidates,
but they have always proved too weak for a struggle
with the overwhelming tendency of their organiza-
tion, and hence the intelligent people of our
City have arrived at tlie conclusion that a
defeat of Tammany Hall, no matter who
may be the candidates of that oiganiza-
tion. is essentially necessary for bringing about
the reforms required in our Municipal Government.
Tlic present City Administration under the control of
Tammany Hall cannot be called a bad one. The
chit-f of our City Administration, and the several de-
partments have, on several Ofcasions. endeavored to
do their duty according to their be.'^t ability; but,
notwithstanding this, our public debt is continually
increasing, the expenditures - remain about the same,
and the taxes, thottgh not increased, are felt as
a neavy burden in these hurd times. The asser-
tion might be made that the emission of new
certificates of indebtedness, the oreanization of the
departments, the salaries of the officials. &c.7a;iro
regulated by law, and that the Municipal authorities
are powerless to make the necessary reductions. But
when, in the course of last Winter, "several bilh> were
passed by the Legislature, chief among them the so-
called Financial bill, which authorized the City
authorities to make reductions, and which contained
proWsions against increasing the City's indebtedness
beyond a certain amount, it was the in-
fiuence of Tammany Hall which induced the
Govenior to refuse to sign these bills. The same
thing would be expected next Winter. As long as
Tammany Hall, pointing to the result of an election,
can assert that it represents the views of a majority
of the voters of our City, the Governor will continue
to be of the opinion tJiat he must not sign any bill
which has not received the J^anction of Tammany
Hall. This \iew of the situation has alreadv had the
most detrimental effect on our Municipal aifairs,
and as the Governor does not appear to be open
to reason and common sense, the only possibility of
briiigina- about a change in his views wul be to con-
\ince him, b\- the result of our approaching elec-
tioirs. that Tammany Hall does .not represent a
majority of our voters. The offices which are to be
filled next Fall may be comparatively unimportant ;
still, there is an opportunity offered to prove that
Tammany Hall is not the City of New-York. and the
German citizens will deem it a duty to aid with all
tlieir might iu producing this conrtncing proof.

From y)er yew-York Sepublikaner of Sunday.
The Xew-Vobk Times, which cannot be too
much lauded for its successful and cotirageous fight
against Tweed in 1371. has aeain discerned with its
usual clear-sightedness how it must be done this time
in order to defeat the successor of Big Six and that
tribo of patriots. The Times began the campaign of
IbTl of its own accord, and to it now belongs the
credit of the thotight of again uniting all the Anti-
Tammany elements against tho Tammany oligarchy.
Mr. Ottendorfer also merits the applause of all good
citizens that are tired of the corrupt rule of Kelly &
Co. for his decided and effective opposition to the
Irish high priesthood in the Democratic church.
The rendezvous of ail Anti-Tammany dements is
the "catholic" reform platform ot the I^resident's
Administration, On it they can all unite with a
good conscience in the cood work against the tax-
eaters and corrupt ion ists in thU A merican (f)
Municipality of Ncw-Cvrk. That the prospects
for a union of all the Anti-Tammany
elements in this City have shaped themselves
Fo favorably is cliiefiy due to the wise national policy
inaugurated by President Hayes, which will have, as
one of its inovitalile conse<nnMices, the dissolution of
the Democratic I'arty. Wilh(»ut a point of support

<tock speculation to-day was the sudden break
In Western Union, which, late in the afternoon,

bolls in this stock are industriously circulating
reports that the freight business of the company

tfaroughoujt the day, and an improving tendency
was perceptible up to the time when Western
Union declined, after which speculation was
ireak and unsettled in tone. Panama was
quoted at 106, bid, agalnat Ifc yesterday.
The total transactions reached 136,219
fliares, which embraced 44,400 Western Union,
40,400 Lake Shore, 16,325 Delaware, Lacka-

London.. Auk. 7. — The MarkZane Express in its
weekly review of the British Com trade says : " "Wh-iat
may now l>e considere*! to nave reached maturity, and In
some southern districts har\'csttug has commenced. The
crops of Wheat. Barley, and Oats in the fens_are heE\y.
but badly laid by rain, and almost everj-where the fieloii
have a more or le^s ilingj' appearance" which betokens
blight, but the harvest is now- so near that nothing short
of a disa.Ttrous change of weather, wliieh is v."'r\' milike-
ly. can iufinence to any extent the yield of English Wheat,
wliich most probably will be shf irt* of an average crop, al-
thoueh not so disappointing as last year's. After a
lengthened periodcf healthy aetivitv our market for 'Wheat
the past week has sho^vn f-igns of aupressiou, consequent
npoii finer weather and the tcmporarj- quietude which
per\-ades. the politicii! tfitiiaiion, liS far as this countr>" is
concerned. Wiih the pro-sjK;-.t "t a Ki>ee(ly increase in the
supplies of English "Wlieat. miJlers nave" bought for>-ign
ery sparingly. Imports into London coniinne libera",
the quantiry fep'Orted up to .Friday iK-in^ 57.000 quar-
ters. Au increased export movement has been going on
fnim .\n,erica, and unless the reiwrts ot the new ^Vheat
en-p are exaggerated, both India and Russia will
tlnii her a formid-able rival for the supply of this
eowntrr's requirements- The supplici* which are
p^ished foi^anl iu the Autumn, are likely to b<3
heavy this year, tspetrlally as ^ur mnge of prices
is not sulfleifcniiy Jow to exorcist any re-training itidu-
ence. and there is not much cliance of the Continent re-
lio\ing us, a*, according to all accounts. Prance will have
feujheieni for her own want*, though little to spare for
ours, while the wheat crops of Germany and Russia
promKc abundantly. The tone of our local trade has
been dopresseil. and" prices have receded Is. on both Eng-
lish and foreign \vheat. Fee«Ung Com, <)n the other
hiind. has shown great cteadiuess, and Barley and
Jtlaizu have sold (>d. higher, th<- scarcity of the
former ha\'ing strengthened prices. 'Xhe Oat
trade is al&o sready in the face of large arrivals,
and no reduction has'been found necessary to effect sales.
The floating cargo trade for TTheat is very stagnant, and
ullhough holders have exhibited coasidcmble tenacity,

COSaOTTED TO THE T0UB8 TO AWAIT

Yesterday af tcmioon 3tfr. Frederick Maxwell,
the well-lczio-fm fruit- merchazit, of Ko. 209 Froat-
ctreet, accompanied b^ his wife, his lAwyer. 31r.
Daniel 5. £»£oo, ot the firm of Chamberlain, Cart«r
A KAtou, and Detectives Field and O'Connor, of the
District Attorney's oflSce, entered the office of As-
sistant District Attom>97 Bell and remained in eon-
Btiltation a coxisiderable time. Maxwell was nnder
arrest for forgirg acceptances to the amount of ^3,-
OOO, and the history of the case, as gleaned from the
oflicials of tbe District Attorney's office and Mr.
Eaton, isasfoUoirs: Aireek ago last Monday Ur.
Maxwell made an assignment for the benefit of his
creditors. His debts were said to be $66,000
(including the forged paper) and hia nominal
assets $54,000, which were estimated at $2^,000.
He had been in business for 12 rears as a member of
the firm of Maxwell & Payson^ but for the last two
years had conducted the business himself, Mr. Pay-
eon having embarked in a new branch of trade. He
bnd always met his engagements promptly, and had
an excellent repatation among hts commercial asso*
dates. The news of his first failure, therefore,
evoked considerable sympatiir among his friends.
Two days after making the assignment be visited
his counsel. Chamberlain, Carter & Eaton, and in-
formed them that in the endeavor to save himself
from failure he had negotiated forged acceptances to
the amount of $33,000— $20,000 of which were on
the Metropolitan National 6ank. $10,000 on the
Alarket National Bank, and $3,000 on bis former
business i^artner, Mr. S. T. Payson, of No. 33
Cortlandt-street. He told his counsel to
•a!! a meeting of the holders of the
forged paper, and put them in possession of the en-
tire facts of the case. He then went to his Summer
residence at Sonthold, Xxing Island, where his wife
and five children were ata>'ing, and returned on
Priday last to meet the victims of his forgeries, to
whom he confessed everything. The Directors of
the Market National Bank held' a special meetinz the
itame day. and decided on commonicatine with the
District Attorney, with the view of conmiendng
criminal proceedincs a^rainst Maxwell.
Mr. Eaton went before the IHrectors and appealed .
to them to reconsider their determination, offering
«i behalf of Mrs. Maxwell to make restitution by
turning over to them all her property. The bank
JDirectors decided to take no action before the next
meeting, which was to be held yesterday, allowing
MaxwdU meanwhile to remain in the custody of his
counsel. At the meeting yesterday Mr. Eaton again
mppeared before the Directors, and submitted a full
Btatemfent of Maxwell's assets and liabilities, together
with the certificate of William A. Harding, an expert
In figures who had been selected by the Metropolitan
>»'ational Bank to Investigate the affairs of the ac-
cused, setting forth that the sums realized on the
Gorged paperhadfoundtheir way into the regular busi-
ness of Maxwell and been lost through that channel.
Mrs. 31axwell also requested permission to be al-
lowed to go before the IWrectors, but the necessary
Tiermission was not grantei After fully considering
he matter the Directors of the Market National
Bank decided to allow the law to take its course. They
expressed the utmost sympathy for Mr. Maxwell,
who had had an account with them for 15 years, but
itaid that they felt they owed a duty to the comrauni-
tr. and should, therefore, commence criminal pro-
ceedings. Accordingly, they dispatched Mr. Alexan-
der Gilbert, Ca^liier of the bank, to the office of Mr.
Eaton, where Maxwell was awaiting the decision of
the Directors. Maxwell expressed his entire willing-
ness to surrender liiniself. and accompanied the dj-
tertives to the District Attorney's office.
The prisoner states that his failure was not brought
Hibout by speculation, or anything outside his legiti-
mate buMness, and adds that it was caused solely by
dullness in the fruit trade. Finding Ms affairs grow-
Inc rapidly worse, he. in a vain endeavor to stem the
tide of misfortune, drew drafts on his customers,
which he discounted at the Market National Bank,
and paid portions of his debts therewith. The forged
paper on the Metropolitan Bank he disposed of
through the medium of brokers. It is stated that the
acrnseil had always sustained a good character in the
commercial community, and had never experienced
any difllcalty in obtaining accommodation at any of
the banks. He was supposed by many to be
perfectly sound financL-UIy. 'and his failure was there-
'ore a surprise. His friends hoped that the matter
could be settled with the Directors of the Market
Bank and the entire affair hushed np. but are now
prepared to accept th« worst. Maxwell's cjwe will
probably be considered by the Grand Jur>* to-day.
and. judging from the demeanor of the prisoner and
his friends. It is evident that he intends to plead
pjilty and offer no resistance to the course of the
law. After examininc tho case thoroughly Assistant
IHstrict Attoruev Bell directed the prisoner to be
taken to tho Tombs to await the action of the
4>rand 'Jury. After an affecting interriew with
hi?* wife Maxwell accompr.nied Detectives O'Con-
nor and Fields to the Tombs Police Court.
where ho was brought before Judee Smith later in
the afternoon, and was arraigned on a formal charge
inAde,by Mr. Alexander Gilbert. Cashier of the Mar;
kei National Bank, who, among other things, charged
that he f Maxwell) forged a bUl of exchange on >V.
I^-innemellar. of C-anton, Ohio, for $1,158. under
date of July 0 last, and presented the same to the
bank in the usual course of bnslneas. Mr. Maxwell
pleaded guilty to the charge, and ho was committed
to the Tombs in default of $.5,000 bail. In response
to the usual questions put to prisoners he said he
was 42 years old. was bom in Scotland, and resided
in Lafayette-avenue, Brooklyn.

THE WEW lySUMAS^CE LAW,
A GREAT QtrANTITT OF ADVERTISING MATE-
RIAL AN*D STATIONERY RENDERED USELESS.
To-day the new law to prerent the making of
false or deceptive statements by fire insurance com-
panies goes into operation- The law requires tho
companies to remove or change all signs which do not
accurately set forth tho financial condition of a com-
pany. The law provides also a penalty of $500 in
any case where envelopes, blotters, cards, poli-
cies, or advertisements are sent out presenting
Btatements not warranted bv the exliibit
at the State Departinent. This law was
particularly aimed at the^foreien fire companies,
which have been in the habit of advertising the capi-
tal of the home offices — which include Hfe
insurance — as available for fire losses in
the United States. It has been quite
a common thing for the fire companies to make capi-
tal by transposing fizures. For instance, several
enmpanies with §1.200.000 in assets make it appear
5;] ^.000.000. The -Etna, of Hartford, recently
flooded tnis City with paper-cutters •nVhich, in gold
letters, mav be found "As.'tets. $10,000,000." The
a.ssots of the company aggreeate $7,000,000. The
new law will result in considerable expense to the
companies for stationery, for there is scarcely a com-
pany whose advertisements comoaro correctly with
the report to the State Department. Tons of letter
paper, paper-qutters, thermometers, y«rd measures,
Ktle clocks, and calenders are rendered useless.

Mr D&AB GcyERAL: My attention has been called to

terial controlled by it and necessary to the proper
equipment of the troops was issued tn snch manner
and with such promptitude as to do-terve and receive
favorable mention from commanding oflSccrs. yourself
among th« number. In making vour report of tne, ac-
tion of the troops of the First t>l vision covering tho
period of the riots, it doubtle|s escaped your memory
that my assistant. CoL Creney^ informed you on the occa-
sion of your visit to the Arsenal, on the morning of the
24th ult,^that the department conld not at once furnish
complete equipment for field service, and specified such
articles aa were wanting tn our stock, and advised you
of the necessity for authority of superior head-quarters
to purchase to supply deficiencies.

Deab Sib: Yours of the 6th inat. received* I very
much regret that any reflections have been cast upon tho
jitr$onnel of your department. It was the furthest from
my thought to convey in my report an Idea of inefBciency
on." your part, or that of your assistant. Col. I
Creney. both of whom I know to he a^^ive,!
enentetic offlcers. You are Quite riRht in sayine that I
was informed by CoL Creney, on the 24th ult., that your
department could not at once furnish the neceMiar>'
epuipment for field serviee. and it was hoped that my
formal application, In writine. of that date, wonld result
in your notifyinn rae, upon your rptum to the Ci^. that
you nad received authoritv to purchase them. My di«-
appotntment on bein^ told, on the 26th, that yoQ hiql
not that anthority, accounts for my referring in the re-
port to our Interview of that date.
1 am enabled to Btate, and I do it very cheerfully, that
every demand mode by me upon the Ordnance and
Quartermaster's Departments for supplies kMcX were om

Gen. Wylie's communication, states that every de-!
maud made by him " up4>n the Ordnance and Quar-

■ Keceiver Wickharo, of the Security Life, ex-
pects to make his report and a dividend among the
policy-holders in September next. Ho is awaiting
only a decision as to preferred claims.
The opportunity given to policy-holders in
the Poptilar Life to pay any premiums due up to
the 20th by Jtily 31 was not taken to any extent.
The policy-holders seemed afr^d to risk any further
imms. even with the prospect of ultimately getting a
dividend. /
The Receiver of the North Ameritn Life has
put in a demurrer to the complaint in iBe case of
Violetta Bedell, who seeks to compel the company
to continue its business and remove the Receiver.
Ex-Superintendant Barnes will move to set aside
the demurzer as frivolous.
A bearing was had yesterday before Referee
r. V. Fxaoch. in the matter of the Universal Life In-
lujrance Company. Only one witness was called and

POISONED FISH AT THE AQUARrUSI.
On Sunday the tropical fishes, which occupied
A row of tanks on the south side of the New- York
A.qtiarinm btiHdlng, were noticed by the Snpeita-
tendent to ac^}n a most peculiar xoanner, remaining
at the Korfaca of the water in a body, and endeavor-
lug at times to jump out of the water. Some, time
later every one of them was removed from the tanks
dead. The fishes occupving the "60*foot" tank,
among them a large number of sharks, herring, and
sturgeon, also died. The simultaneous death of so
many of the ftsh aroused the suspicious of t^e
xuanager of the establishment, and a quantity of
the wator from the tank was placed in
a bottle and sent to a chemist for examination.
"Upon being annlyxed, large ouantlties of lead were
discovered In the water, which fact verified the sus-
picion that tho water had been poisoned by some
malicious person. Some time ago the death of two
lea otters occurred, and upon examination the water
of the tank was discovered, as in the above in-
itances. to have been charged with lead. The man-
agement have been unable to discover the perpetra-
tor of the wanton acts. Parties are now on their

A NEW PROTEST FROM PILOT COSTMISSION'EF
BLUNT — ANOTHER CASE AGAINST THI
POLICE AtTTHORITIES. ' '
PMlot Commissioner Blunt is a man not easily
driven from his guard over the harbor of New- York.!
as a grteat many persons know to their very serious
annoyance. "When I was a boy," he says, " thc(
bed of the river and bay was clay : now ni wager
good round sum that it's composed of cinders an<
street sweepings." Not content with watching
work of lazy captains of dumping-scows, h^
has ,4nfaafd tnto a host of fishermen and
watermen along the river and bay shoi^s a feelinffof
jealousy similar to that he feels himself, and woe I e'
tide the person or persons presuming to feel that they
are safe at any time of night In attempting to drop
ashes or street dirt into tho harbor without being
seen by G. W. B. or some of his henchmen. It can-
not be ascertained that he actually sends a spy in th«
guise of an Italian on every dnmping-scow ordered
down the Bay, but there are grave suspicions thai
such is the fact. Yesterday, at the meeting of
the Pilot Commissioners. Mr. Blunt unfolded himself
with some vehemence, and for a time engaged the ati-
tention of his ft- Uow- Commissioners to the latest in-
famy practiced by the dumping-scows, and t5 a re-
porter of The Times, he said at the cJose of the
meeting that he had another instance of criminjd
carelessness to relate on the part of the Police Coni-
missioners. He had jtist presented to the Commis-
sioners some facts which he thought were" interest-
ing. By four witnesses he is able to prove, that on
the mornings of July 30.,-and Aug. 3. at 4 Tj'clock,
tne-boats, at onetime the U. S. Grant, and at the
oiner tmknown. brought altogether eight scows load-
ed with street dirt, down the Bay to a point between
Fort Lafayette and the Staten Island shore, and
there emptied their contents. This wss riRht In thie
channel, where it is very narrow, and the dnmplng
was evidently done at an upustial hour with the pur-
pose of evading notice. Mr. Bhiiit was anthomed
by the board tn present the facts to the Grand Jury.
and he is confident that he has a clear case against
the Police Coram wtsi oners. The amount of refu-w*
thrown into the channel, if the scows were full, wais
about l.GOO tons. j

sion tickets for week ending Au^. 4. 1877. They
also revisited children under treatment eit
often as the cases required, &nd distributed
health tracts with the appropriate advice,
whenever such attentions seemed necessary.
The following is a synopsis of the weekly report df
Dr. John T. Nagle. Deputy Register of Records. tf>
the Board of Health : Diinng tho week ending Satui|-
day. Aug. 4. C50 deaths were reported to this bu-
reau, which is a decrease of 67 compared with thje
number of deaths reported for the preceding weelf,
but an increase of 41 as compared with the corr*-
spoudintt we«k of 1876. Tho actual mortality far
the week ending July 28 was 718, which Ls 94 below
the average mortality for the past five years, and
represents an ammal death-rate of 34.62 per l.OOD
persons liWng. the poptdation estimated at 1.078,102.
In reviewing the mortality for the past six weeks, it
will be seen that during this period 4.194 deatlfs
were reported at this bureau, of which 1,906 we»e
children under one year. 2.337 under two, and
2.615 under five years. One death was from small-
pox, 36 from measles, 104 from scarlatina, 74 from
diphtheria, 66 from whooping-cough, 4 from typh^
fever, 19 from typhoid fever, and 1.633 from
diarrheal diseases — 1.510 of which were children
under five years of age. This compares favorably
with the total uumber of deatlis reported for the
corresponding weeks of 1 376, being 948 less.
STORY OF AN TINHAPPY LIFE.
THE ZEXmGTON'AVEmiE TRAGEDY,
."XRL" H0LHZJ3, THE JKJI7BED WOUAN,
TUBN8 OUT TO BE A MISS HENDERSON —
HER CAREER IN THIS CITY, AND HEB RE-
IiATIONS TO MR. CliABS— HER AKTE-
kORTEM STATEMENT.
An inveatigatioix made hy a Times reporter
Into the career and character of "Mrs." Frank
Holmes, who was murderously attacked on Tuesday
ni^t by Thomas Henry Clark at No. 309 Lexington-
avennje, as described in yesterday's Tnsxs, reveals a
very singolar state of afTairs. The woman is qnite
well known at several places in this City.
Her leal name is not Holmes btit Frances J. Hen-
darsoh. She is not a widow, never having been
married. She came to this City in 1871 from East
BostoiL Her parents are both living there now, as
well as several brothers and ebters. One of her sis-
ters Is married to a Mr. WUlard a well-known livery-
stable keeper in the suburb* of East Boston { another
sister is married to a prominent merchant in Boston,
and si HI another is married to a business man in this
City,
who
Uves at Bath, Long Island.
The wife of one of the Arm of Fay, Hagan
& Co., Broadway, near Howard-street, was a s^ool-
mat« of Miss Henderson. When the latter first came
to New- York she found board with Mrs. Waters, of
No. 733 Broadway. This was in the Spring of 1871.
She then made her living by teaching music and
singing. Mrs. Waters says that no one could
have been more amiable or ladylike, or
mnre industrious and economical than " Frank! e,"
a^ every one in the house called her, wss. Mrs.
Waters says that Miss Henderson saved and deposited
in a City bank qoite a sum of money while boarding
wit^W. In about a year she left Mrs. Waters'
place, ad^ returned at intervals, stopping only a few
days at attete. This kept up until 1873. During
the latter year Mrs. Waters says that " Frankie" be-
came "allofasuddenverymuchcbanged." Insteadof
her former smooth and cheerful disposition, she ex-
hibited constant gloominess and irritability. She
used to confide in Mrs. Waters, and on being ques-
tioned as to the cause of the great change in her con-
duct, she told her that she had become acquainted
with a Thomas Henry Clark, intimated that he had
betrayed her, and said that "he bothered the life out
of her." It appeared also that after Clark had com-
pletely won Miss Henderson's affections, he succeeded
in borrowing all the money she had, and failed to re-
turn it, subjecting her to treat inconvenience. Miss
Henderson never would tell any one. not even Mrs.
Waters, the reason why she left home. All the in-
formation she ever gave was that her folks believed
that she was engaged as a clerk in Butterwick's pat-
tern establishment, and she wished them to continue
under that impression. It did appear, though, that
she had some good reason to leave Boston.
/Clark came to this <Mty several years ago from
Ohio, where his parents still reside. He became in-
terested in several boot and shoe concerns, and last
year failed. He became acquainted with Miss Hen-
derson, and seemed to possess her entire con-
fidence. In the, eariy part of last Jan-
uary he had made arrangements to start
again in business, but. owing largo sums of
ihoney to numerous creditors in .the City, he feared
to do FO In his own name, and concluded arrange-
ments with Miss Henderson to use her name, and
with a man named Hneh F. Young to go in as a part-
ner. Jil\ three called upon Louis Cohen, an at-
torney, at Ko. 2*29 Broadwav. to get the
necessary papers drawn up. The agrccmeiDt
being satisfactory, the business opened at No.
HVt Brpsdway, under the name of Clark,
Henderstn Sc Young. l>oot and shoe dealers. Owine
to Clark's mismanagement, the firm soon afterward
had to make .in a.ssignment for the benefit of its cred-
itors. Miss Henderson lost her last dollar by this
venture, and Mr. Youug lost $600. Soon after the
failure Clark sued Young and Henderson for wages
during the time he was in the firm, but dropped
the suit for fear it would lead to unpleasant
developments. In the statement made to the credi-
tors after this failure Clark characterized Miss Hen-
derson as his cousin. Hhv denied the statement
for the first time ; she had frequently passed as
such before and did during the continuance of tho
firm.
At this time Miss Henderson ceased all association
iwith Clark, having, a-s she says, been betr:iyed by
him socially, and utterly ruined by him financially.
and looked out for hen**»lf . She went from bad to
worse, and Clark's friends allege that she became a
regular inmate of hoiwes of ill-repute, and they quote
her as saying that she •'would follow her newly-
adopted life until she died, and as she ban been mined
and swindle<l by men, she would spend the balance
of her life in swindling all th** money she could out
of every man she met." From this rime she refused
to have any interview with Clark, notwithstanding
his persistent following and persecution of her.
It Is alleged by his friends that Clark
baa been of unsound mind ever since
his falltire last January, and that now he is entirely
demented and irresponsible for hia acts. They say
that none but a lunatic would have huuic about No;
'200 Lexington -avenue, the house wherein Miss Hen-
derson wa.1 boarding, as he had dtme before the as-
ssnlt- Last May Hark was hired as a clerk in a
stationery store on Na.s«au street, but was discharged
at the end of a week on account of negligence.
Thejiast seen of him before he made his desperate as-
sault on Miss Henderson, w.is during Tuesday after-
noon- He was then noticed bv friends standing at
tho I comer of Eant Thirteenth-street and Fourth-
aveQue, with " a worn and wild look " never seen on
his ^ce before, and every action indicating that he
was in some trouble.
Tlje ante-mortem statement made by Jliss Hender-
son,, otherwise Mrs. Holmes, to Coroner Flanagan is
as follows: As I was returning home about 3 o'clock
P. M. on Aug. 6, I saw a man. whose nnm© 1 refuse
to give at present, standing in the doorway of the
fltal^e, next door but one to the house in which I
reside. Immediately upon reaching my door he
followed me. I opened and partially closed the door,
and he pushed it open. 1 asked him what he wanted.
He closed the outer door behind him, and then and
thcTiB struck me upon the had with som*« sharp in-
strument. I then became unconscious. This is all I
hav^ to communicate. her
TT^ I FR.\NCES X HOLMES.
'T I mark.
' Wihen asked if she thonght she would live, she
said^ "I think I may get better ;" and in answer to
the [question, "Have you any hope of recovering!"
she answered, " I have."
SVIOIDE OF A COMMERCIAL TRAVELS:
John R. Graham committed suicide yesterday
by cutting his throat with a razor; at St. Peters
Hotel. No. 11 West Eleventh-street. He was fouild
at 6 o'clock in his bed dead, lying in a pool of blood.
Beside him was lying a razor, with the blade tied
back on the luin^e. He %had cut himself
from the left ear to the larynx, severiijig
both the carotid artery and tho jugular vein. Very
little is known of the deceased. He was gentle-
manly in his behavior and prompt in the payment of
his bills. From memoranda left by bim it appears
that he was an Englishman, and a commercial
traveler for a dry goods house, and that he came to
this country last May. A number of pool tickets
were found in his possession, toeether with la
memorandum of bets at Hoboken and elsewhere. *
cause is assigned for his act.

REPVBLICAN KEORGANIZATION.
On the 17th of Jamiary last Mr. Isaac I.
Dayton presented a lengthy series of resolutions in
the Republican General Committee, calling for the ap-
pointment of a Spe'*iai Committee to inquire whether
there ware lu the various districts any persons who
desired to enter the Republican organizations, and
who for various reasons found themselves unable to
do sa. The resolutions were referred at the time,
and nothing was done until a few weeks ago, when
it wjia announced that such a committee. iK-lng one
menber from each district organiz^ion, had been
appointed. Last nisht this committee held its first
meeting, at the head-quarters, comer of Thirty-third-
street and Broadway. The meeting was only for
conference, and as Mr. Dayton was absent, and his
resolutions by some accident were not in tiie posses-
sion! of tho meeting, an informal consultation took
p1a(^. nnder the lead-of Mr. George B1l'«, on the res-
olution offered by him the night before at the meet-
ing of the Eleventh DLstrict Association, looking to
an amendment of article i) of the Constitution. This
amendment proposes to leave a member free to re-
fuse to support a nominee of the party who should
seem to him unworthy of support, and is^n the line
of policy to which Mr. Dayton's resolntii^ps point.
No neflnite conclusion wa.s arrived at by tiiA meeting.
andliWwas aereed to meet again on the same day next
week, when a fuller discussion could be had and some
agreement be arrived at.

GAME < BKTWEEN THE BOSTON BED
STOCEINOS i A^D THE HABTFOBDS OF
BEOOKLYK— ViCTOET FOE THE BOSTO-
KUKS. ;
Tbe game b6tve«n the Boston Bed Stockings
and tho Brooklyn-Hartford Club, which was played
on the Union Grounds yesterday, was without excep-
tion the most Interesting event of that kind whi(^
has taken place in this vicinity during the season. It
wa3.,a close stru^le throughput, and ended in a vic-
tory [for the Boston players, who won by their su-
perior fielding. It 'was the sixth of the series
of championship games between the contesting
clubs^ and was witnessed by a large and
very lenthusiastic audience. Play was commenced
at4:i5P.M., with the home club at the bat, Mr.
Ducbarme, of the Hudson Club, acting as umpire.
The [Bostonians took the lead in the first Inning,-
when they scored ah unearned run by errors of
Start and Habridge. In tbe second inning they added
anotber run to their score, and by sharp fielding
blanked their opponlents, leaving toe score at the
close of the inning at 2 to 0 in uieir favor. From
this point out tl^ Hartfords went to work with a
will to overcome the lead, of their opponents, and in
the sixth inning, by splendid batting and base run-
ning i on the part of Burdock, scored their first
run. I Neither was again able to score until the eighth
inning, when tbe Bostons, by hard hitting and fast
base I ninning, succeeded in getting another man
around the bases. This virtually decided the game,
as the Hartfords in the next inning were retired
without scoring. Of the plav shown on both sides,
Burdock's second base work was the feature of the
game. He also led at the bat. Brown and Sutton, of
the Boston Club, did the host fielding and batting for
their side. Following is the score :

BEG JINIKG OP THE LAST COMPETITION — THE
SHOOTING IMPAIRED BY A THUNDER
SHOWER.
The first stage of the fourth and last compe-
titiou for places oti the Americau International
Tcau to shoot for the Centennial trriphy took place
at C] eedmoor yesterday, and will terminate to-day.
The Qiimber of competitors was reduced from 30 to
23. Some of the absentees have retired, -vrhile
otheii, realizing that they stand no chance of secur-
ing I laces on the team, have withdrawn altogether.
When the conte.'it commenced at the fiOO yards range
at 1 0:30 A. M. the atmosphere was hazy, and the
flags hung limp from! the ma8^he3dB. The outlines of
the 1 lull'seyes on the targets were scarcely discerni-
ble, put in the ab.,ence of any wind the majority of the
competitors tuade good scores. Soon after 12 o'clock,
whi$B the match was in progress at iK>0 yards, a
bre«ae ^prune up.whjch soon attnined the strength of
half a pale, and ■■inners"nnd '"outers" began to be
algnklcd. This c4>ndition of weather continued until
the rillemen had flrefl 10 or 12 shots at 1,(X)0 yards
distance, when a thunder shower burst over the
ranire, accompanied by violent gusts of wind, which
blew over the shelter tents, and, although it did not
lAKt]lon£, rendered what would have otherwise been
good scores only mediocre. The absentees were Col.
Bodine, Messrs. Hebbard, Rabheth,Weymys.s, White,
Scj)1:t. Clark, and Crowell. The total scores made at

TBE COBDEN STATUE AT BRADFOBD,
A FEW FACTS ABOUT THE AMEBICAST CmZEN
WHO PROVIDED THE FXJND TO BTJILD
THE MONUMENT.
A report has already been published in The
Times of the exercises attending the tmveiling of the
statue of Richard Cobden recently finished and ex-
posed to the public in the Exchange by Mr. John
Bright. The accounts simply stated that the work
was the gift of an American citizen, and mentioned
the name of Mr. G. H. Booth as the giver of the
£1,000 which paid for the work. On the monu-
ment is an inscription as follows : " This statue Is
the gift of the late GeOrge Henry Booth, a citizen of
the ITnited States of America, and is inteuded to
mark his appreciation of the character and labors of
the late Richard Cobden, as well ' as to serve
as a memorial of the donor's residence for
man y years as a merchant in Bradford- ' ' Mr.
Booth came frxjm^nghkeepsie, and in 1853 estab-
lished himself in business In Bradford. He tn time
became senior partner of the firm of Firth. Booth &
Co., acquiring not only riches in money, but the es-
teem and good will of all with whom he became
ftcqaaintod. In this City he conducted the branch of
the Bradford houae in connection with the firm of
Marsh, Fisher & Booth, and be was well known
by thousands of merchants who formerly
met him in a business and sociid way.
He retired from active business in 1872, when he
began a pleasure tour of Europe in company with
his wife, intending at the close of the journey to re-
turn to his native land to spend the remainder of his
days at home. While in Paris, Jtine 5, 1S73. his
wife, who had suffered with the Roman fes-er, died.
Her body was sent on to New-York, and 15 days
afterward. Mr. Booth, who had been deeply affected
by his bereavement, was prostrated with apoplexy,
and his bodv followed That of his wife, to be buried
■with it in the same, j3Tave at Poughkeepsie. where a
handsome monument marks their resting place.
ilr. Booth left four children, but strar^ce to 's.ay. not
one of the family were present at the unveiling of
the statue, nor so' much as one known representative
oi* the United States.
THE STRIKE AT PORT JOHNSON.
There has been no outbreak among the coal
wheelers and heavers employed on the coal docks at
Port Johnson. The strikers hung arotmd the lower
ward of Bayonne in large numbers all day, but no se-
rious disturbance occurred amonj; them. Verj- many
of the new men employed on Monday morning failed
to put in an appearance yesterday, owin^ to the
difficult character of the work. The men are taken
in a tugboat from New- York City to the docks in
the morning, supplied with their meals
on the dock, and taken back at evening. Yesterday
morning about 30 of those who were at w^ri; Mon-
day steamed to the docks yesterday- They were ac-
companied by a new lot of 50 men. Some Italians
were among them, but most of them were Germans.
They found the labor a hard one to "perform, and
some of th m said that had they been aw^ire of that
fact they would not have sone to work. It is doubt-
ful if more than half of the new hands
put on yesterday will show up at their
places this jnoming. The strikei^ are confident that
thecompany will notheable to supply their places,
and say that within a week the company's experience
with jrreen hands will con\nnre them- of the neccKsiry
of acceding to the denianSs of their employes- " W©
will give them a week^ said one of the strikorK,
j>ointing to the new i^n yesterday, '•to experi-
ment with that gang. They will be sat-
i.'ified by that time that they can do
nothing with them except send them away."
A party of special policemen, paid hy tbe railway

tion, ready for dntT,' at a moment's notice, and Sheriff

addressed the strikers Monday night, advising them
to desist from all acts of \iolence. ^V^lile he spoke, a
hoy in the crowd shied an old shoe at him. The
sinters sought out the offender and drove him from
their midst. Half a dozen of the outside pang be-
came encaKcd yesterday afternoon in an altercation
]>etween themselves, and hii:h woqjs over the ad-
vL*8bility and probable fruits of the strike, soon le<i
to blows. One of the party was pushed or thrown
into the ri^'er. but he swam to the shore unhurt.
The Police quickly suppressed the disturbance,
ELOPING WITH HIS WIFBS SISTER.
^ Yesterday mominc a woman, her eyJs red
with weeping, accompanied by two Htde boys cling-
ing to her skirts, approached Justice Guck, of Brook-
Ij-n, and demanded a warrant for her husband's ar-
rest. In a voice broken with- sobs she stated that
he bad ran away with her sister, a girl 16 years old,
lea'-ing her and her children penniless. This man's
name is Jacob Kester, a butcher, residine comer of
Bogart and Rock streets. Williamsbure-
He has been married 10 years. His wife
never, she said, for a moment thought that
he would leave her. Last Sunday momlnir
as he left the house she bade him carelesslv good-by.
n'^quesling him to leave her 75 cents — he had taken
all the ready money in the house, over $100. Not
returning in the evening, she spent all day Monday
searching for him in New- York. In the evening her
mother, with whom her sister Henrietta resided.
a block from her home, told her that her husband
and her sister had run away together. The girl's
name is Henrietta Schmidt. The money deposited
in the bank she a^ertained had been ^rawn out
bust Saturday by her husband.' The eloping couple,
it is thought, have|;one to Philadelphia.
A DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
A Newark druggist named Theron W, Van
Giesen made a desperate attempt to commit suicide
yesterday.' He had been acting strangely all the
mnmine:. and about 10 oVlock went into the yard,
taking with him a Sharpe's rifle he kept in the s"tore.
A clerk who was watching his actions saw him cock
the rifle, and rushed oat m time to seize his arm and
prevent him discharging the weapon. Mrs. Van
Giesen ran to the clerk's assistance, and. her screams
alarming the neighbors, two gentlemen who were in
an adjoining .store came in. and the three men. after
a desperate straggle, succeeded in disarminff Van
Giesen. The latter recovered the weapon, however,
and started for a hardware store to get some more
ammcnition. but in the meanwhile the Police were
called and he was taken into custody. He is said to
be insane. • _

f HE STATE CONVENTION TO MEET TO-DAY—
GOV. CONVER TO BE RENOMINATED BY
ACCLAMATION — THE IKDOBSEMENT OB
NON-INDORSEMENT OP THE ADMINTSTRA-
TIOfT THE LEADING TOPIC 07 INTEEEST.
Augusta, Me., Aag. S.— Not since the
doee of the war, even when there has been an
exciting contest for the GoTemorship, hag a Re-
publican State Convention in Maine been so full
of interest as Is the one of to-morrow. Only a
small proportion of the delegates have snived
this evening. The great bulk of them will come
on extra trains in the morning. There is, how-
ever, an tinusual attendance of the leading men
of the party, and the hotels are thronged with
politician3. notwithstanding that there is an ab-
sence of Federal office-holders. What the
convention will do is the all absorbing topic.
Gov. Conner will be renominated by acclam-
ition. so all interest centres in the position to
be taken towitrd the Administration. There is
a marked diversity of opinion among the leading
men now here as to what the convention ought
to do, and what it will do, and it cannot be
iccurately stated to-night what its action will
be. Some members of the convention will
?rame a resolution giving a decided approval of
the President. Such a re-wlution is understood
in have the indorsement of ex-Gov. Per-
ham, ex-Gov. Chamberlain, Hon. John
B. Brown, Hon. John H. Burleigh,
Hon. Nathan Farwell, Gen. E. B.
Shepherd., and Hon. Harris 31. Plaisted. Ex-
Gov, Morrill, brother of ex-Senator Morrill, and
ex-Gov. Dtngley advise the passage of a resnln-
tion simply declaring faith in the character,
patriotism, services, and declared purposes of
I*resident Hayes. Many of the leading men
urge that the convention should pass a resolu-
tion censuring the President for his order pro-
hibiting office-holders from participating in
doing party work, and for his Southern
policy. Resolutions will unquestionably be
offered covering these different views. The
large majority of the leading politicians
present are very earnest in declaring that
the harmony and success of the party
will best be subserved by the adoption of a
platform which will be a plain and exhaustive
declaration of the creed of the Republican Party.-
and neither indorse nor condemn the Southern
policy or Civil Service policy of President
Hayes. This course is urged by Senator Blaine ;
Representative Beed. of the Portland Di.strict ;
Hon. Lewis Barker, Charles A. Boutelle, of the
Bangor Whig ; Stanley T. Pullen, of the Pon^
land Preis ; Alden Spragne. of the Kennebec
Jownvd ; Hon. . J. H. Drummond, Hon.
Charles J. Talbot, Hon. Hiram Knowl-
Um, Hon. Seth L. MiUiken, Hon. Eu-
gene Hale, and Gen. George L. BeaL It
»lso has the approval of Senator Hamlin, who,
ao-wever, will not be present at the convention,
rhere wouJd be no opposition to this course if
"it were not that manv would regard an omission
to indorse President Hayes as an indirect attack
upon bim. The present indications are that the
course advocated by Senator Blaine will be
adopted by the convention.' .411 agree to the
passage of a resolution affirming faith in the
validity of the President's title. The conven-
tion wUl take strong ground in favor of a re- ,
sumption of specie pa3nnents at the time fixed
upon by Congress, and will protest against any
radical change in the Navigation laws. It will,
of course, renew its faith in prohibition.
The convention will be called to order by Sen-
»tor Blaine. The Chairman of the State Com-
mittee, Hon. Josiah H. Drummond, of Portland,
will be selected as President. Francis Fessen-
den, of Portland, a son of the late William Pitt
Fessenden, was selected to preside, but cannot
be present owing to sickness m his family. The
convention may present stormy scenes before it
cIo9e.s. It does not seem possible to-night for it
to escape a warm discussion. Representative
Hale is accompante<l by Senator Don Cameron,
of Pennsylvania, who has been visiting Mr. Hale.

SERVATIVE CONVENTION — THE TEMPO-

ADDRESS AND MADE TO SIT DO-^VN —
THE CONTENTION COMPELLED TO AD-
JOURN TnTHOUT ACCOMPLISHING ANY-
Trl.\G.
Richmond, Va., Aug. 8. — The Virginia
Conservative State Convention met at noon in
the theatre, but owing to an indiscriminate is-
sue of admission tickets, or otherwise, that part
of the building set apart for the delegates was
BO overcrowded by outsiders that when an effort
was made to caU the convention to order, with a
view of a temporary organization, it proved
a faUnre. The utmost confusion and dis-
order prevailed. Shouts, hisses, and all man-
ner of noises drowned the voices of all those
who endeavored to bring order out of chaos.
After half an hour had elapsed, during which
DO progress had been made toward an organiza-
tion, a motion to adjourn till 2 P. M. was
adopted.
The convention reassembled at 2:20, and the
de'.egates being all seated, the Chairman of the
State Committee announced that CoL William
Lamb, of Norfolk, had been selected as tempor-
ary Chairman. The appointment was confirmed
by an overwhelming vote, and Coi Lamb pro-
ceeded to address the convention. He spoke
without interruption for several minutes, and
was laimching forth in a strong speech in favor
pf preserving the credit of the Commonwealth,
when he was asked if that question was then
under discussion. He replied that it was not
yet in order to criticise the speech of the
Chairman. He then attempted to proceed
in the same strain in advocacy of.
maintaining the State's honor, but the inter-
ruptions became so frequent and the confusion
so great that he was forced to discontinue.
Resolutions were then introduced for the ap-
pointment of Committees on Credentials, Per-
manent Organization, and on Resolutions. The
6rst two resolutions were adopted amid much
disorder, but the third was laid aside till a
permanent organization was effected. Upon
a call of delegations by Congressional Districts
U> name members of these comtnittees, another
scene of turbulence and disorder ensued-
Several of the districts being divided in their
jhoice. and it being evident that no settlement
could be arrived at.'they were allowed to retire
for consultation. The interior of the .theatre
was a perfect pandemonium, the body being
more like a disorganized mob than an organized
sonvention.
The most bitter antagonism prevails between
triends of the candidates, particularly so be-
tween those of Gen. Hahone and the Anti-
Mabonites. During the absence of the delega-
tions, who had retired to heal their differences.
Gov. Kemper, being present by invitation,
briefly addressed the convention, counseling such
darmony in their deliberations as would per-
petuate the dignity, honor, and glory of Vir-
[CV}i». After tne announcement of Committees
!>n Credentials and Organization the convention
Miioumed till 8 P. M.
When the convention reassembled, at 8
9'cloek, the Committee on Permanent Organi-
»tion reported the name of Marshall Hanger,
»f Augusta County, as permanent Chairman,
with a long list of Vice-Presidents, and the
report was Mreed to without serious opposi-
tion. Mr. Hanger, in assuming the chair,
addressed the convention, counseling
harmony, calm deliberation, &c. A resolution
was passed providing that no man shall be
placed in nomination for Governor who does
sot pledge UmaeU to abide by any result
reached by the oonvention and rive to. the
ticket bis support. A Committee on Resolutions
was appointed. The Committee on Credentials
was not ready to report. The convention ad-
journed until 9 A. M. to-morrow.
The session to-night was in marked contrast
as regards harmony to the two sessions of to-
day. Xone of that riotous confusion which
then prevailed was manifest. The indications
now are that everthing will pt^ off quietly to-
morrow, and result in Harmonizing uie antag-
onistic elements.

Boston. Aug. 8. — The reunion of the orig-

1848. and tho.se who joined it prior to 18,o6,
which is to be held to-morrow at Downer's
Landing, a picnic resort down the harbor,
is on the invitation of Samuel Downer,
who was one of the original mem-
bers of the party. Some 200 invit^ons
have been issued, and among those who will
probably be nresent and deliver speeches at the
feast of reason which is to follow the clam-balce,
are men of all shades of present
political belief, from Samuel E. Sewall
to Charles Francis Adams. So true it
bi that ■' politics make strange bedfellows."
The list comprises J'rancis W. Bird, John

will preside, and will doubtless deliver
an historical review of a nature ap-
propriate to the day. which is the anni-
versary of the famous Buffalo Convention,
which nominated Van Buren and Adams for
President and Vice President The Free Soil
Party was founded at Worcester, Mass.. 29
years ago. by Charles Francis -idams. Stephen
C. Phillips, Charles Sumner, Henry Wil-
son, and Charles -Allen. Sumner was
the orator, Wilson the organizer, and
Phillips the man who wielded the- most influ-
ence among the Whigs. Charles AllenVas the
only Free S liler elected to Congress, where he
made a failure, and soon retired from politics.
Phillips died in the harness, and his place was
filled by Sumner and Wilson. Charles Francis
.Adam.emanage-l the Free Soil organization afterit
was launched in 1 848. The other leading Free
Soilers were Charles iGiddings, Root, Wade, and
Hale. Henry Wilson being the chief spirit ifli
the formation of the p^rsfiunel of the conven-
tion, he prevented Charles Frsincis Adams
and John G. Palfrey from entering
the remarkable convention, but did not
Erevent Richard H. Dana from getting in from
is country seat in Manchester. Marcus Morton
also got in. The new constitution was defeated
under fh'> leadership of Henry Wilson. The
Know-Nothing Party was fortned soon after,
and many Free Soilers joined 'it, including
Wilson. Anson Bitrlingame. Judge Ru.sseU.
John L. Swift, and' Charles W. Slack ;
but Charles Francis Adams, the two Hoars,
Francis W. Bird, Charles O. Davis, and Willard
P. Phillips refused to follow Wilson's lead into
the Know-Xothing Party, but joined with him
in the formation of the Republican Partv in
1856. ■

"WA.SHlNnTON, .-Vug. S. — Secretary Sher-
man, who leaves for Ohio on Friday nest, visits
that State for the purpose, amon; other things,
of making certain inquiries into the record of
Jlr. Bishop, the Democratic candidate for
Governor. That gentleman, it is rumored
here , has been extensively engaged in frauds
upon the internal revenue. Secretarv Sherman
is believed to have a clue to the.* trans-
actions, and will, of course, investigate and
expose them. The.'se and stories of a like
nature which are current here to-night are
given for what thoy are worth. They
cannot be traced to any authentic source,
but they have certainly given great
uneasiness to prominent "Democratic poli-
ticians in Washington. Information received
here within the past few days points to a serious
rupture between the Matthews and Garfield
wings of the Republican Party in Ohio. The
Secretary will do his utmost to heal these dif-
ferences, he says, but should they continue, it
is believed hero that he would not object him-
self to taking the United States Senatorship
which will be made vacant by the expiration of
Mr. Matthews' term.

Philadelphia, Aug. 8. — Col. McClnre
this evening read a dispatch from Capt. Mc-
Clelland, Chairman of the ■Democratic State
Committee, saying the Democratic State Con-
vention will be held at Harrisburg on the 22d
of August. During the past two weeks
a combination was formed, in which
it was believed Wallace and Randall joined
hands, favoring the postponement of the con-
vention until after the Republicans held theirs,
as it was deemed advisable on the ground that it
would be impolitic for such imprudent people as
the majority of Democrats to attack the
labor problem, or frame a platform
containing a plank on this question,
without first havinir some work by intelli-
g nt Republicans to guide them. The idea of
postponing the convention, it was thought, had
prevailed ; but it Is stated from up the State
that a couple of parties, possibly Schell and
Noyes, hearing that if the convention was de-
layed their chances of being nominated would
fail, prevailed on Chairman McClelland to al-
low the labor question to take care of itself, and
see that their chances of nomination were not
impaired.

Washington, Aug. 8.— The visit to Wash-
in gton of I Mr. John Jay and Lawrence Tumure,
ol the New-York Custom-house Commission,
hi 8 agaii^ revived the rumors of contemplated
d anges there. The gentlemen named arrived
hire yesterday morning. To-day they had along
oc Qversaljion with Secretary Sherman with ref-
ei Bnce t<J the various subjects referred to the
cc nuniasion, in connection with the admlnistra-
tii in of the Customs service at New-York. It
w 1] be remembered that during the sessions of
tie commission members of the New- York
C lamberlof Commerce made numerous sugges-
tii ns touching the wisdom and utility of some
03 isting Revenue laws, and upon these subjects
tl B commission is expected to make re-
ptrt. It was mainly upon these questions,
w lich may be called to the attention of Con-
gi ess by I the Secretary in his annual report,
th at the interview between the Commissioners
ai d the Secretary was held. In this connection it
cs n be confidently stated that the much-talked-of
cl anges in the principal places nt the New-York
Custom-house have not at any time been the sub-
je ;t of discussion at the Cabinet meetings. It can
ft rther le stated upon the best authority that
n( removals will be made until Secretary Sher-
m>n returns from his contemplated Western
tr p. There is a disposition hero to make some
CO ncessions to the so-called Liberal element of
tue Republican Party in New- York State, and it
Is generally believed in Wa.«hington that
G sn. Sharpe, the Surveyor, will be made
tne victim of this disposition. His term
oij office has already expired, and the friends of
other caildidates urge that bus re-appointment
wbuia belcontrary to the civil sen-ice rules. In
waat way those much talked of regulations
w >uld be I violated, however, is not specillcaUy
stateil. There have been no additions as yet
t<^ the list of candidates for his posi-
tion, but Gen. Merritt, the protiSgi^ of ex-
Gov. Fenton, is believe<l to be most favored by
those in authority. There is no probabilitv
that there will be any change made in the heaj
ol the Custotba Department in New- York, Mr.

pcsition of Collector, but Gen. .\rthur is to
uiiversally indorsed by the business communi-
ty] that his removal is considered out of the

A SOCIAL SCANDAL IN THE COURTS.
A SUIT FOR DrVOBCE AGAINST A TREASURY
EMPLOYE FOR ALLEGED ADULTERY WITH
GEnJ B.VNKS and OTHERS.
SpeeitU IHtpaich to tlu yeir- Fwi: Time*.
Washington, Aug. S.— Gen. Banks is
brought into unpleasant notoriety here in con-
nection with a divorc6ca.se. John Q. Thomp-
son, an Indiana newspaper man, brings suit for
divorce against his wife, who has been em-
pl>yed in the Treasury Department here,
clargingj limong other things, that she
hi a at divers times and in sundry
pi ices committed adultery with Gen. N. P.
tt inks and others, specifying several occasions
d tring tjhe years 1872 and 1873. He al.so
cl arges that Banks obtained for her a position
in the Treasury Department, and that while
tl ere she lived as his mistre.s.s. Mrs.
Tiompson had previously brought suit
against. | her husband for divorce, al-
leging that he has failed to provide for her
St pport for the last five years, and has been un-
fa ithf ul to his marriage vows. This suit came
01 during the Special Term of the Supreme
0 urt, sitting with equity jurisdiction for the

Washington, Aug. 8. — Lazarus Silver-

la id, Colliector of Internal Revenue in Brook-
ly 1, i» said to be acting in the interest of Gen.
E- L. Hayes, of Brooklyn,, who is a candidate
f o r Freeland's place. Some time ago Freeland's
re Boval was decided upon, not for any cause,
bi t that his advanced age rendered
hi m incompetent to perform the duties of the

hi oker here, appeared at the department in the
in»rest of Gen, Hayes, filing very strong rec-

personal .solicitation of Rev. Henry Ward
B< eoher, the President ordered the dismissal of
C< Uector Freeland revo'Ked, when Silverman ap-
pcared again, filing the charges which are
new being investigated at New-York. Silverman,
it Is said, has not a very good reputation either
here or at Philadelphia or Chicago, where he
formerly redded. The records of the Internal
Revenue office will show that he has been con-
nected witli some illicit transactions in liquors
in years past, and the officials who have had
to do with him do not place mucTi weight upon

JUST THE AMOUNT AND WHEN MR.
SCHURZ RECEIVED THE MONET.
Sptdat DU^ateh to the ye»-York Time*.
Philadelphia, Aug. 8. — Hon. William H.
Kemble, who made the original statement that
Hon. Carl Schurz received money for political
services in Pennsylvania, is out In a card re-
iterating his former statements, and, indeed,
addine to them some unpleasant facts, which
will hardly be relished by the Secretary of the
Interior. Mr. Kemble declined to be inter-
viewed concerning the statements, saying that
he would say what he desired on paper, and
that no newspaper man should have a hand in
it, for the reason that his statement would be in
black and white, and he had the documents to
prove all he said. As a result, he presented
the following as his rejoinder to Mr. Schurz's
denial of Monday last :
To the Editor of the y^vyYork Time*'.
Some time in Jure last a representative of the
Philadelphia Time9 having visited me for the
purpose of leaming mv opinion of the recent
civU service order of tne President, I expressed
very decidedly my disapproval of it, doubting at
thesame time the sincerity of those whose duty
it was to enforce it, and gave as a reason the
fact that Mr. Carl Schurz had .him-
self been a recipient of political boun-
ties during past political campaigns to
an extent whicn bordered upon avarice r that
in 18ft8 he had written a speech, which he de-
livered in Pennsylvania at the rate of $500 per
week, which I believe the committee had taken
to the extent of three weeks. The point 1 de-
sired to make against Mr. Schurz was that, hav-
ing always regarded himself as a mercenary, it
would be in bad taste for him to set himself up
as the executor of political reform. In the
coiirse of a few weeks my remark**, like the
storj' of the three black crows, came back to
me "in the shape of a denial by Mr. Schurz of
not only what I did not say, but cover-
ing substantially what I did say. True,
the denial of Mr. Schurz is but second-hand,
and may be totally at variance with what ho
did say ; but as reported it is such an entire de-
parture from the real facts that I feel called
upon thus publicly to state iust what were Mr.
Schurz's relations ^ith the Republicans of
Pennsylvania. I herewith append the salient
points'in Sir. Schurz's denial, as they appeared
in the Washington Evening Star:
"A reporter called on him to interview him in con-
nection with the statement of Gail Hamilton thiit W.
H. Kemble. of Pennsylvania, hod paid him $1,500
for repeating the i»ame speech three times In a cam-
paign in Pennsylvania, and" that he put In Ms pocket
thousands of dollars. Schurz replied that the Kem-
ble storj- was utterly falsa and ritlicnloa*. as every-
body who knows anything aboat political r^m.-
g signs would understand at once; that since 1850
e has been active in 13 campaigns. State and
national, from two weeks to four months at a time —
an average of six to seven weeks ; that in most of
the-se campaigns he paid the bulk of the expenses out
of his own pocket, sometimes when he cottld ill af-
ford it, and to the utter neglect of hid private aflfairs :
that years ago. at times when he waH unable tu do so,
he had. as under the circumstances everybody else
did, to accept compensation for traveling and other
incidental expenses, or decline campaign work ,- th;it
the aggregate- of this compensation so received
from every quarter fell far short of the actual
expense by him incurred; that he thus gave to tho-»te
campaiffnK not only his labor and tlnrje. amoniiting to
little less than IM solid months, aod a not inconsider-
able amount of money also; that, therefore, tho
story about the Kemble pa\^nent and the thousands
of dollars Mr. Schurz put in his pocket is gro.-tsly
false as to facts and conclusions."
This denial reduced simply sava that Mr.
Schurz never received anything from Peiin-syl-
vania politicians beyond liLs a<'tual expenses,
which he claims was customarj'. Now, while I,
who am not particularly enamored with civil
service reform, am willing to concede that Mr.
Schurz had a perfect nght to receive from
the Republican State t'ommlttee the full
measure of hts expoudilurts, and, a-*
a business man, am willing lo go
further and admit that Mr. Schurz had a tight
to sell his articles for the hieh^t market price,
vet his denial is not in accordance with the
facts. The State Central C'ommitt<H> of ISOH
engaged Mr. Schurz to speak In Pennsylvania
for the sum of $.")(>(> per week, and according
to the followiut^ letter of Mr. Schurr. to the
State Comraittee ho must have arrived in Pitta-
burg on the 1^4th day of August ;
F(>ktWa\-nb, Ind., Ane. 15. 1S69.
Friind Oaha : Tliere Is one thiux I forgot to soy
ill my last letter. Can vou get passes for me on the
railnjad on which I have to travel accordiuj; to pro-
i^amine T If you run cret tht>m for me, please do so
and send them to PittsliuriE. tut I can find them on
my arrival. Yon miRht also notify the Pittsburg
(,'onimittee that 1 shall ifnve Sf. Louis on the even-
ing of the *2'M\, and reach Pittsburg at 4:15 P. M..
Aufi. 'Ii. Truly yours, . C. SCHl'RZ.
Just seven days thereafter, Including J^un-
dav, Mr. Schurz' received ^.'JOO from the Re-
].ul>lican State Central Couiniittte for the week's
services, a.s the cash book of the Secretary of
that committee, Mr. George W. Haramersloy,
shows. It will be seen from tliis letter
that Mr. Scliurz, on his arrival at I'itts-
burg, had provided for two " things. First,
that he should have no railroad expen.ses
while in Pennsylvania and no hotel bills
while in Pittsburg, placing himself in the hands
of the committee. I do not know for a certain-
ty, but presume that Mr. Schurz was in the
hands of a committee at ever>- place where he
.*4poke in Pennsylvania. Hence, he could have
had no expenses of any magnitufle, so that the
sum of $500 which he received from tho Stato
Central .Committee was in addition tw his out-
lay and.fn accordance with a contract previous-
ly made. Nor is it true that all Republican
speakers received compenfiation from tne State
Central Committee at the same time that Mr.
Schurz was stumping Peunsyh"ania. .At least,
loo gentlemen were doing likewise, and while
some of them received compensation sufl3cient
to meet their outlay, many oi them received no
compensation at all, and no one to the extent of
Mr. Schurz : and certainly no iwpirant to the
position of United States Senator, wliich Mr.
Schurz was at that time, would have been,
offered money by tho State Central
Committee , unless he had demanded it.
Among others it may not be in-
vidious to mention Hon. James G. Blaine,' Hon.
Horace Maynard, Hon. Oliver P. Morton, Hon.
Henry Wilson, Gen. Joseph K. Hawley, Senator
J. W Patterson of New-Hampshire, Gov. Wal-
ter Harriman, Hon. Titian J. Coffee, Hon. James
A. Briggs, Gen. Charles H. Vanwyck, Hon. E.
D. Culver, Hon. Geoive Boutwell, Hon. A. G.
Curtin, Hon. A, K. McClure, Hon. James Pol-
lock, Hon. James H. Campbell In, fact it was
not customarj' for gentlemen who occupied the
position in politics that Mr. Schurz and the
above gentlemen did to accept compensation for
political services.
But Mr. Schurz's remark that at one time,
manv years back, he did not receive compensation
to t^e amount of his expenses, is further con-
tradicted by his action in 1800. At that time
the Republican Partj' was not only in its in-
fancy, out had funds scarcely sufficient to
meet expenses that were imperative ; the whole
campaign for Governor and President having
been conducted by ^e committee with less than
$10,000 ; yet Mr. Schurz made a tour in Penn-
sylvania of about one week, In which all his ex-
penses were paid and ho had returned home,
when a sight draft was promptly drawn on our
Chairman, the Hon. A. K. McClure, for $500.
With an empty treasury, there was nothing for
us to do but to go down into our pockets and pay
it. Now, be it known that $500 in l«tiO
was a very large sum for anv one to receive for
political services, but when it comes to be an ad-
ditional sum to his necessary outlay, it becomes
oppressive.
I think I have written sufficient to satisfy the
most ardent friend of Mr. Scliurz that when I
charged him with being one who foUowed pol-
itics as a mercenary, and not as a patriot^ I
spoke truly of him. Yours respectfully,
William H. Kkmble.

Chicago, III., Aug. 8.— John W. Steigle-
man, a man apparently 35 years of age, en-
tered the Commercial Hotel, in this city, last
Monday, and registered himself as from Har-
risburg, Penn. The clerk saw that he was well
dressed, to all appearances honest, and had a
small amount of baggage 4u his hands, and
therefore he did not demand payment in ad-
vance. He breakfasted at the hotel on tho
morning of his arrival, and appears to have
eaten no other meal while therb. On Tuesday
morning he appeared at the office drunk. He
made considerable noise about $200, which he
said he lost, together with his bat. A hat was
procured for him, and he set out to look for his
money. About 8:30 last night he came into
the hotel and sat down on one of the corridor
chairs. When asked if he hadn't better go to
bed he produced a bottle labeled *' Chloroform,"
cmd belted of having drunk the content**.
Medical assistance was cal|c(l. but it waH too
late. The man died at 2:20*his morning. The
Coroner has been summoned\and will hold an

TffK CANADIAN OEAyOE QUESTION.
MoNTREAi., Aug. S. — >Sir BVaneis Hineks
has published another letter with reference lo
the recent sectarian troubles and tho causes
which have led to them. HaWng retired from
public life, he wishes it to bo understood that
the letter is not written for a polijticat object.
His chief reason for writing on Oraugeism is a
conviction that those who, with the best possible
intention, advocate<l legislation, were on the
wrone^ track, and he ventures to hope that some
other plan may be devised for solving what all
writers on the subject admit to be a difficulty.
In conclusion. Sir Francis says : *• As the
Orangemen seem determined to' exercise the
right of walking, I .suppose the great ma.ss of
citizens of Montreal will bo put to annoy-
ance and expense in pres»erving order next ye^r..
I will state the onlv proper mode of preserving
peace : At least 506 .special constables sliould be
sworn in for the day to aid the Police, and armed
with batons only, which should be provided for
the occasion.
If the two bodies walk, the Mayor should insist
upon their taking streets which will render col-
lision impossible : if only the Orangemen walk,
they should be required to de.signate their line
of march going and returning, and such .<treet»s
should be kept clear of all strangers. On coming
to the citT they should be deprived of nrwirms.
The volunteers should be called out, but should
not occupy the streets nor act, except In cas«i
of emergencv- By such precautious, and nt an
annual cost to the city of a few thousand dol-
lars, the Orange Young Britons may be indulged
in tlieir new caprice ; "which they either never
thought of before last year, or had the good
sense to forego, no doubt by the advice of old
Britons.
TJIE KEESEVILLE BANK ROBBEBT.
Montreal, Aug. 8. — Harold Schie, the
young Norwegian who was arrested here on
suspicion of being concerned in the Keeseville
(N. Y.) Bank robbery, came here with excellent
reference to a gentleman of this city, ostensibly*
to obtain a patent for a horse-shoe nail.
He subsequently visited Keeseville, where
he was stopping at the time of the robbery.
On his return here after the robbery he was
followed by the Sheriff and arrested on suspi-
cion. The general impression is that he is Inno-
cent. Since his arrest ho has received a cable
dispatch from his partner in Norway, directing
him to return home, and notifying him that
$200 has been placed to his credit iu the Bank
of Montreal.

ON " CONSCrSNCB."
Fairpoint, N. Y., Ang. 8. — The Na-
tional Sunday-school Assembly opened last
nifi;ht at 7 o'clock Tiith fhe tingmg of the Chau-
tauqwa bells. The vesper service of 1877 fol-
lowed, after which was held the Chaatanqna
^ reiinton, at which a number of addresses were
delivered by gentlemen from vsiriotis parts of
America and other portions of the globe. The
Throne of Grace wa3 addressed by Rev. J. A.
WonU'n. of Ohio, with whom the iratoens© audi-
^ ence joined in repeating the Lord's Prayer. Rev.
^ -. J. H. Vincent, D. D.. condnctetl the services,
fand on behalf of the managers of the Assembly,
gave words of welcome to the thoxisandfl of peo^
.»* pie present The andienoe was ranch larger
"^^ than any that had ever been present on
-•^ ft like occasion. The speaker hAd visited
■' Vairpoint in Midwinter, in the early
part of the year, when there was
two feet of snow, and he had looked forward
with hope and high expectations to this occa-
sion occurring in l^Iidsummet ; bnt his highest
expectations had been exceeded. A touching
tribute was paid to the late P. P. Bliss, who a
year aco stood jipon the Chautauqua. Assembly
platform. A few day.s ago the speaker assisted
at the dedication of the monument erected in
his m emory, and invoked Heaven's choicest
blessings on the children he has left to ua.
Leww Miller, of Akron, OMd* Premdent of
the Assembly, was the first speaker. He
wploomed alike old and new Chantauquans,
withoiat distinction . as to sect or race.
Rev. Dr. Wythe added his greeting Rev.
J. A. "Woraen, manager of the Lakeside
Assembly, near Sandusky, Ohio, followed, and
thanked Ood for Chautauqua, which was one
prolonceti joy. A. Jared Tavlor, of New- York,
President of the Round l!jake Encampment,
spoke next, and referred to Sabbath-school
teachers who hated their worK. Their pupiLs
hated it worse than they did. Such teachers are
gettinj,' scarce. Christians are now more of the
••bejovful'' sort. Addresses were made by Rct.

Within the past few days we have suffered from

I ou:;ht. th*^u. to comTuencn with this. If we
'.houUl divide all property equally Monday
morning, it winild be unefjually divided
by .<amrrlay ni^ht. We must reach the un-
cfuirflif'd t>t»piiIntion. With this principle, such
a ptijiulation. largely unemployed, is le<l by
quarks. Liberty, intelligence, and property,
with ronscientiousness. will save the coimtry
t"r(»m a baptism of Mood. In the church is the
jcfefj' of the republic on the edge of this

' What is conscience I Let us answer

not <;o nnieh irne that a niah has a conscience as

^ I srt.^ ^Vhat does the tnan mean who does a
I thin:; ■' l>istinction between right and wrong is
put into MH licfore we ai-e born- I will show
Ihnt a man is so made that he must distinguish
hetween right and wroncr. Stuart Mill said
there might bo a world in which two
and two would not make four. The
same jimn says that in some other worlds;
right might be wrong. I hold that the whole is
greater and better than a [»art. A straight line
is thf 'ihnriest distance between two points.
This dftf^s not eome to n< from our ancestors.
If experience accounts for all our connection,
then when experience is always the
'^auie. we eannot escape its teachings.
We can imagine that the sun might
rise in the west and set in the east, but we can-
not imagine that the whole is less than a j^rt of
the connections which are a part of the original
revelation of Gml in its structure. Now, when
we net wrong we f*M,'l it ; wl»en we act mean we
feci mean, and we oujrht to. Therfe are
a.-^ioms in religious thought the jopposit© t,o
which cannot be imagined. We are not afraid
of scientitic thought. We shall Ibegin with
this: God speaks through con.science. It is
His temple. Where is Jesus of Narareth now ?
He is not on Calvar}*. He is the light
which lights the world, and the hu-
man heart is His temple. That light
was in the beeinning ; at the creation
>f the world. When the Holy Spirit touches
the heart Jesus is present and fills it. Some
sav conscience is infallible ; others that it is
fallible. Kant said that erring conscience was
a chimera. Caiderwood said : " There is no such
thing as an erriny; conscience.'' John Foster
paid : " There is no more absurd thing
than conscience." A scientific definition
says conscience is the soul's sense of right
and wrong in motives. It affirms that we al-
W3VS know what we ought to do. We must de-
fine clearly. We mako a distinction between
tjie external act and the innef motive. I re-
peat, conscience means the souls of right and
of wrong in motives. We cannot produce in a
dav the sense of right and wrong which exists
in the heart of man. When one says, ** I will
not." when the still small voice says in him,
'• I ought,"' there comes unrest. There is a
sense of remoteness from God. He may go on
in disol>edience laitil ho does not wish to go
back. This is the line of the natural operation
of our facnhiep. Does any man want the sun
to rise at mid-day ? The heavens above us will
be rolled together as a scroll, but the
heaven that spring from the inner light will
never pass awny. W'e are so made that obedi-
ence brings us nearer and nearer to God. Let
us weigb the word "ought." There are here
men ^vith empty sleeves. The soldier had in
one scale the word *' ought" Ih the other were
father, mother, and wife. The

and tikes him to the front
to outweigh everything else. We c&n put every
thing into the opposite scale btit Qod, which we
rannot do, because God id in "ought" " Rich-
ard II I."' and "Macbeth" were the (freatest
treatises on conscience ever written. David
Hume and Nero heard the voice,
conscience. That word "ought" had
Its weight on the heart of Miehard
III. Man may place himself beyond this by an
g^t of— Well: who ever loves darkness better
than licht feels mean. Cor'«ci?nee says that the
right ought to be followed. Conselencs includes a
teuse of the approval of a soiuewiiat or a some
one above ourselves. If I only thought of my-
self conscience would not make a coward of me.
Conscience goes on to anticipate in a region
bevond death the approval of somewhat or
some one. Would Goa make us with such an
Instinct and then mock us ? He never does
sach a thing. God builds no half joints. Where
there is a migrating Instinct there will be a

OCEAN GROVE,
' ^ •
LAST DAY OF TBB TOTJNG PEOPLE'S ASSEM-
BLY— SERMON ON FAITH BY REV. H, L.
SANDERS — CLOSJI3TO SEBYIOSS,
The Young Christian People's Assembly was
very largely attended at Ocean Grove yesterflat,
Megtftioti* from Syracuse. Bnitalo^ BMton, Balti-
more, jbid Brooklyn being preSetit. i This befeg the
last day, great interest was felt. Ovdr 5,000 petBons
were present to bear tbo young Baptist orator, Rev.
Mr. Sanders. Many were compelled to stand, so
greatrwas the desire manifested tcj hear him. The
services were opened with singiug, ajid a prayer by
Rev. Thomas T. Everett, of Philadelphia. Presijont
E. H. Stokes then introduced Rev. H. I*. Sanjlers,
Pastor of the First Baptist Chnrch of Yonkers, N. Y.
He took his text from St.. Luke, ilfth chapter, |flfth
verse, " NererthefeBss, at Thy word Itrtll letdown
t9ie net." Kts reason, he stated, for taking this|^Tt
was to see how w^e aQ stood on the question of futh.
He hoped he would be enabled to lay the text before
them in such a li|;ht that they would be enabled to
exazniae their own heurts and see how Itbey
stood upon the great faith of Balraitton.
It was night upon the Sea of Galilee, when | four
fishermen cast their nets and drew them back empty.
All night long th^y labored in vain, and at sunrise
sought the shore for rest Christ came to them,|ind,
hearing of tbeir misfortnne, turned to Peter and} iold
him to go forth again. Peter, having faith, retn^ed
io the sea, saying " Nevertheless, at Thy word I will
let down the net " and thev were blessed w^ith an
abundance of fish. It was essential that we compre-
hend the Divine truth. John had declared that no
man knoweth God except he love Him. There Is a
knowledge that precedes faith. We must know of
Christ l>ef0T« we can believe in Him. Taith
was the foundation of tlie household, 'the
Oorremment^, and the scientific world. Leverier
found the planet Neptune by it. When God ^ade
faith the foundation of salvation He did no arbitrary
thing. God bad stampwl it with his signet, and' it is
universal. Faith is belief on testimony. The ground
of sartag faith is simply the word of God. Believe
In Christ, and why ? Because God says so. i The
preacher gave several illustrations of faith. Naaman,
the leper, was told to wash himself seven times in
the River Jordan, and he was cured. Did he not
have faith ? The mau with the withered hand was
told to stretch forth , his hand, and with
the word came faith. Do we not see it
in onr every day walks of life ? When
the parent tells the child to obey; the child does so
becatue motlier rays so ; not because of bribes or
threats or punishments. You cannot save souls
without bringing them Into personal contact [with
Christ. As the compass ia given to the rearinerlthat
hemayfcnow where the North Star is when hfe| can-
not Bee it, so is the Bible ^en to the Christian that
he may find Christ. The Word is given us to b<jlieve
on Jesus, and tlie object of the Word is to bringnsto
Him. There Is a (jreat difference between faith and
trust. Peter's prayer with trust in the Lord ■ was
brief. It had io he .««hort. for he was going down,
i^nd it would have been a silent prayer if he 1 had
Waited a few minutes. He prayed, " Ivord, save me."
It was the step of faith. We take a dollar note. It
is taken io tne faith of tiie Government to [pay.
Faith was therefore a universal thing. We don't
use one set of faculties for God and another fori the
rple. Certain persons tell us a thing; we believe
we have faith to believe. Testimony is 1 the
ffronnd of faith and faith ia the Word of God. Faith
& the Bible. Faith is the be<l-plate on which! the
whole foundation stands : the object of saving faith
is the Wonl of God. The preacher closed by redtine
a short poem of hope, f.-iitli. and love. | His
nermou was Ijstene*! to with deep interest
by all. .Selali Brown, of ^roy. and o^hfrs
made brief addreases, and the meeting closetl,.

Ay ixQvssT av a lite negro.
The Chicago Trtbitne thinks that there mnst
be considerable looseneae about the managemunt of
[ Col; Cleary-'« Hospital, in that dty, tf half the r »ports
are true. It thus instances an incident' wh: ch oc-
cnrred on Thursday last : " The negro Corontry,
who waa shot Wednesday night, was taken io the
hospital and reported to be in a dying condltiobt and
the next day it was decided that be wa.s dead, but by
whom. Is not kuown — certainly not by the gentleman
after'whom the institution is named. One of the
Coroner's clerks la responsible, hoVeveir,
for Uie statement that his body was
loaded into a wagon by some one and taken
to the Morgue, stripped, and laidotit on one of the
marble alahs to await the coming of the Coroner.
The Coroner came In due time, followed by a string
of individuals to sit with him aa judots on the body
of the dead uegro. The Morgue was Entered and the
body viewed, with the usual care exercised on such
occasions and under such circumstances. There was
notbing peculiar ahont the appearance of the corpse,
but from the fact! that some one's neck might
possibly be placed in jeopardy by tlie verdict of
the jury, every preparation was made for a diligent
inquiry into the cause of death. There was the
gaping wound made by tha fatal pistol ball, and the
crowd gathered about in the greatest solemnity to ex-
amine It. One, approaching nearerthanthe rest, and
being a little more inquisitive, ventured to touch the
body. He stepped back instantly— the flesh was yet
warm — and stmultaneonsly alow sound proceeding
from the corpse broke the sil^ce. A strange thrill
passed through the crowd. ' Is h© dead t '
queried one, and, with this the cloth was

situation, the supposed corpse, being nneomforrtiable,

enough. The negro was not dead, but the Coroner
was outwitted, and the crowd cut rrtt from earning

THE LttblANAFOUS RIOTERS.
DECISION - OF JUDOB DBtnOCOXD IK SEK-
TENCING FUTTEEN OF THEM tO THBKB
MONTHS' IMPRISONMENT EACH.
In the esses of the railroad riofers ht fb<»
United States Court at Indianapolis, Jndg^ Drum-
mond, on Friday, sentenced 15 of them to three
months' I/nprisonment each. The following extract
comprises the main points of his decision :
"Admitting that these defendants had grievances
Kgamst railroads, how are they to bo redressed or re-
moved i That is a very serious question. Are they
to be removed by violence, by force, bv trampling
upon the laws of the eoxmtry, by interfei^ng with all
the business, or most of the business^ relations of the
country, by preventing the operation of the roods f
Is this the way in which grievances are to be re-
dressed f notheso defendants, or any parties who
are in similar circnrnstanees, snppose that their
wrongs are to be righted by violence, by fo»e ? Is
that the way in which the sympathy and kind feel-
ings of all the citizens of the country are to be
stretched out toward themf Are we not all citi-
zens of a common country 7 Do we not all desire to
stand by the law 1 Is not the law ample to nrotect
the rights of aU?
"These defendants, under the.belief that wrongs
had been done to them by the n^lroad ofHcIals, en-
tered Into a combination to right these wrongs, real
or im*?inary. by stopping the trains, by interfering
with the business of tlie country, Tljat this was a
great wrong will apnear when wo apply such a
principle to any of the business relations of life.
Suppose that the employes of the various depart-
ments of business in this city should think that their
employers did not pay them adequate wages, and
they should combine together, conspire together, go
Mtrand and require all parties thus employwl to cewe
their employment, to shut up all the business places
of this city, and put a stop to all departments of busi-
ness ; to the stores, to the manufactories, to every-
thing of that kind. AVould that be right 1 Would it
" not be a great wrong for persona thus to do ? Sup-
pose that in seedtime the farmers' hands throughout
a large section of this State should come to the con-
clusion that the farmp^rs did not pay them wages
enough, and should combine together and go around
to the various farms and require the hands to strike,
and prevent, in this way the planting of the seed J
Suppose that during harvest they should do the same
thing — go around among farmers and require lUl
hands to strike, and prevent the farmers from har-
vesting th^lr grain, com. or products of the soil i
Would that bo right 1 Would it not be a great wrong ?
And yet that is the same thing, or would be the
same thing in principle, that these railroad employes
have done in this case, and throughout the comitry,
within the last two weeks. It Is not in this way that
any of the relations of right or any of the different
claases of the community can have tholr wrongs
righted. The courts arc open.
"* If I understand the object of these various strikee,
it is to compel the railroad ofHcIals by force, namely,
by suspentllng the opemtions of the trains, to pay
them those prices thilt the>' thought they were enti-
tled to receive. If there is anything thatis an axiom
and truth universally admitted to be correct It is
this : that we cannot by law fix the price of labor, or
of a bushel of wheat, or a barrel of flonr. or of a
piece of domestics, or of a horse, or of anything else.
Thwe are things that are to be regulated 'by the sup-
ply and demand, by the wants of the community. Just
so it Is with labor. We cannot say by law that the la-
borer shall have just such a price nrr his seoices.
We cannot say by law that a nreman shall have such
a price, that a' switchman shall have such a price, a
conductor such a price, and so on. Throughout all
the various classes of railroad employes these are
matters to be regulsted by the necessity for the labor.
It Is so with everytliing : therefore, every particular
class of a community should receive compensation
for services performed, whether It Is railroad men.
clerks, supenn ten dents, lawyers, doctors, merchants,
or whatever they may be. When they do this It
must be settled by tlie parties themselves. In the
case of labor, the man who seeks the employment of
a man who wants the employment. It Is a matter of
i^reement^ and m^t always be. therefore it may as
well be impressed upon these defendants, as upon all
other persons, which ! a little reflection will con-
vince thpm Ih necessary, that It is not possible
that Ihuy cj\n rfay ' precisely how, much they
shall have for the service tiiey perform : they have
no right to dictate to their employers what thfj- shnll
receive, nor has the employer any right to dictate to
the employe what he shall receive. It is a matter of
common bargain and agreement, and unless it can be
settled in this way we have to destroy all the rela-
tions of life. It Is upon that principle that every-
thing i.i }tonght and I sold. labor sm well a-4 other
things. You cannot grt into the utore of a merchant
In this city and say, I will give you such a price for
anything y&have herei and If you don't take it I will
leave the money and remove it from your store.
Ko ; the owler of the article has a right to sav what
he will take Vor it. as well a<t the punrhaser what he
will srive, an^uuleKS they agree the article must
remain there, ^ust so lit is with everything that is a
subject of barter and' sale, labor as welt aa every-
thing else, . J
" Wien these railroademployes sought to force those
who employKl them to ' pay a particular price in this
wav, they wen- guilty t>f a wrongful act. Undoubt-
edly they, as well as withers, cannot be forced or
obligert to ]>erform a service without their consent.
If their employers don't give th»'m as much as their
services are entitled to. they have a right to leave
and seek employment elsewhere. Ijet me impress
upon, the defendants this truth, that even
those who may sjTtjpathize with you — and we
all do in some respects — those who may sympa-
thize with you even In what you hnve done, if
yon went to them and sought employment, they
would not employ yon if they thought they conlcl
have the service performed as well at a less rate. AH
men are alike abont this : there is no difference, and
cannot |H)fslhIy l>e any difToreuce among men on that
subject. We all seek th.it which we desire at r.s
cheap a rate as we can obtain t1. and yon yourselves
whf?n you go to buy anything, bny it as cheap as you
can. Tilts is tho uulvomtil law of sticK-ty, and It is an
axiom In political fcononiy.
•■ Thi.t being so. the proper way. as it scpins to the
court, for any class of the community who desire to
have tlie Ber\-ico which they may perform c^impen-
.tated at a better rate, is to spn>ad tlie farts tdurhing
that service Iwforo the conuimnily and thus create a
public sentiment in their favor so that justicf* mijjht
ultimately lie done to them. Itely upon It. this is the
safest and best, and, above all, this is the Ipgal way
In whi'-h to obtain a remedy for any wrong that is
committed,
" Kvery man. as I have stated, has a rigiit to Inave
the senice of his emnloycr if he is not icnti.tfUMi with
the wages he gets, but men have no right to combine
together and cause a strikt^ among rnilnmd employes
so as to prevent the running of trains, because IhlR is
something that affects the whole commnnity, which
is a wrong done to the whole connnnnity, and Inter-
rupts the business of the country. It Is more es-
i eclally true in relation to the employes of railroads,
Itt-c.-iHse tho injury there is public in its character;
it aifects the whole country'. a» it were, and not a
particular communitv or a particular ucighborhf>od.
" It may bo tliat wbcn this combination was made
originally, the object was simply to snspf nd work on
th»« roads, but there was a most slgniucant remark
made by one of the committee at Terre Haute — Mr.
Kesbit-^t*) Mr. Claybrook. which I wish to use. and I
wish I could re-echo It throughout the whole country
to every man who has tny property or any interes't
which he desires to protect against wrong or violence :
it is this ; ' There is an element in that crowd whicli
the committee cannot control' There was an ele-
ment there tlrnt was stronger than the committee :
tliat Is always so. or may Always bo so. It Is not
po>«aible always when yon raise a mob or a crowd,
and by so ' doing violate the law, to tell
where the operations of the mob will cease; they be-
gin by violating the law, and to what extent that, vio-
lence will extend, or how far It will extend, they of
course cannot tell, and when they have thus raised
the spirit It escaives beyond their control. 8o It is
always when a mob or a crowd Is raised in all cities
to perform unlawful acts. No man ran tell when
those acts will end, how far they will extend, or
When his property may be safe. So true ia this that
there never should be any violation of law, and
every citizen of this countr>* owes it to himself, to
his coimtrj-. and to any interest which he has in it, to
stand by the- law and never to infringe it.
'■ Ruppose-tiiat upon any of these trains there was
money or property which was to save a man's farm or
house from loss or sacrifice. S,nppose there was a
traveler upon these roads who was going to the bed-
side of a wife, of a husband, of a son, or daughter,
who was dying. Snppose many things which might
have occurred. You see in this way how you inter- "
fered with everything that we hold most precious as
citizens of this country ; and the mails, the mode of
communication, yon arrested even them, because you
arrested the trains by which they were carried.
It is ftltnost impossible for the mind to concieve of
the almost Infbiite wrong which may attend the stop-
page of a train — the railroad trains In our country —
even for a day : of course no one can tell what it
would be when trains are stopped for more than tliat
time — for a week- This being so, whatever may be
the -feeling in the community — that, perhaps, rai&oad
employes ought to receive more than they do re-
ceive— still, it is not in this way that that
is to be remedied, because you maxe war npon
society, and society will always arise under
such circumstances against those who make war
upon it. It Is not possible that any class of men ean
rise i^ainst a whole commuuity and expect that so-
ciety will not resent its abused rights and redress its
wrongs. Mt will as long as society- exists.
"Railroad employesmust recollect that other people
have rights as well as they ; they act as though no
oneelso had any rights e.tcept themselves. Mer-
chants have rights, professional men have rights,
farmers have rights, and even railroad companies
have rights. Alfmen have their rights, and all cor-
porataons have their rights under the law. "
POLITICS m CALIFORNIA.
The San Francisco Bulletin of the 1st inst.
says: "Nearly the whole of tho interior cotmties
have, held their conventions. The campaign has
fairly started. In all the counties except those of
the upper San Joaquin Valley tho contest is between
the two old party oi^nlzations. In Kern and Tulare
Counties the Democracy will be opposed by a Peo-
ple's ticket. The platforms adopted in all the con-
ventions are pretty much the same. There is little
or no difference betwe^ the principles asserted by
the Republicans or Democrats, except that In a few
cases the latter have Indulged in the innocent pas-
time of declaring that Tilden ought now to occupy
the PreBldentlfll chair. All the Republican conven-
tions have indorsed the policy of the Administration.
In not one convention have the legislative candidates
been pledged to the support of any one candidate for
the United States Senatorshlp. The nearest ap-
proach to it was a deohu*atlon and semV
mdoTMment of Senator Booth by the Benub-
llcani of Sairajnento OoimtT. They pleased
thetr le^lative oandLldatee to voting for a man who
will be a ' worthy eoUeagne of thetr fellow^ettlSBn
Ktwtaa Booth.^ Tha flrniatoilal ooateat wiU there-
fere probabTy b* a free Hfiht In the pari^r irtlich has
tho linajority after tho September election. In the
San Joaquin Valley tlie conventions have declared in
favor of stringent legislation for preserving the re-
mainii^ water soutees, and the adoption of a general
system of lrr4gation. Every convention held oas d»-
eiared against the taxation of growing crops, and de-
manded the amendment of the present law in that
regard. The foregoing, with the stereotyped plank
denouncing Chinese immigration, make up the im-
portant issues of the campaign outside of San Fnm-
cisco, as presented by the County Conventions. There
are. of course, local issues entering into the campaign
in a few counties. Both parties are making an ener-
getlo canvass. It may b« anticipated that the next
Legislature will be pretty evenly divided, notwith-
standing the fact that the JDemoczats start in with 16
hold-over S»iators."i

BURIAL or SEVENTH CAVALRY MEN.
IMPOSING CEBEMbNIES AT FORT i LEAVEN-
WORTH, IN THB_ PRESENCE OF 2,000
SPECTATORS. \
From th6 Leavenicorih (Kan.) Time*, Aug. 4.
Early yesterday morning onr citizens became
aware of the arrival lof the remains of the brave offt-
eers who fell daring a gallant fight at the battle of
the Little Big Horn on the 25th of June, 1876.
Before the hour set for the funeral services at
the chapel at Forfc Leavenworth, five artillery cais-
sons, drawn by bay hotscs, were placed on the north
side of the chapel building, and were guarded by two
companies of the Twenty-third Infantry, tmder com-
mand of Capt. Joseph T. Haskell^ while the band of
the regiment was! drawn up in line a short distance
away. On the south side of the chapel a special col-
nnm, consisting of the Provost Guard, was posted,
the whole being tmder the command of
Capt. C. a Ealey. of the Seventh' Cavalry,
marshal of the day. The streets' about the chapel
and around the military prison were crowded with
cstrriagcs from the Provost Marshal's head-quarters.
^side the chapel the scene was a most solenui one.
Directly in front of the altar, and guarded on either
side by an armed soldier, were arranged the caskets
containing all that was left of the five officers who
had been sent here for burial. They were arranged
with heads toward the altar, the first on the west
being thecasketcontainingthe remains of Capt.Tates,
the second Lieut. Tom Cusr«r. the third Lieut Smitti,
the fonrth Capt. James Calhoun, and the fifth Lieut.
Donald Mcintosh. Each casket was draped in the
folds of the Stars and Stripes. Seated near the re-
mains was Mrs. James Calhoun, wife of Capt. Cal-
houn, aad sister of Cien. George A. and Lieut. Thomas
W. Cluster, accompanied lyr Xieut. P^ederick S. Cal-
houn. Near her was seated Mrs. Charles F. Kendall, of
Topeka, cousin of Gen, Caster's wife, accompanied
by her husband, Mrs. Algernon Smith, and Mrs. Capt.
GilW. Yates. Near the relatives of the deceased was
seated Mrs. Gen. W, T. Sherman, with several ladies,
wives of distinguished officers at the fort. Among
the officers present were noticed not only Gen. John
Pope. Commander of tho Department of the Mis-
souri, but ids entire staff In full uniform. Every
commissioned officer in the garrison was also pres-
ent, with the exception of those who were on im-
portant duty. The little chapel was filled to its ut-
most with citizens.
The first part of the solemn burial service of the
Episcopal Church was performed by Post Chaplain
Rev. John Woart, after which the procession slowly
filed out of the chapel, while the guard of honor took
possession of the caskets, and under command of the
several officers, placed each on a gun-carriage, while
the Twenty-third Infantrv Band rendered with
solemn eflfect •■ PJerel's Hymn."
After the coffins were properly arranged the pro-
cession was formed in the following order : Twenty-
third Infantry Band. Capt. C. S. Ilsley, mar-
shal. Two companies Twenty-third Infantry, with
reversed arms, under command of Capt. Joseph T.

|The first carriage contained Gen. .Tohn Pope,- cotd-
mander of the Department of the Missouri, with Mrs.
CllL-n- W. T. Sherman and other ladies. In the second
carriage were relatives of the deceased officers, among
whom were Mr, and Mrs. Cliarlcs F. Kendall, of To-
pfka. Twenty carriages following contained a ntmi-

known many of th^ officers during their sojourn at
Fprti LeavenworthJ Great troulde was experienceil
by orderlies to keep carriages from blmrking up the
roadways, as each driver wanted to stop at Uio insti-
gation of the riders, in order to see the Imposing
spectacle, the like of which has seldom occurred iu
this locality.
The line of march wss eastward from the chapel to
the arsenal rtiad, thence south to the avenue loading
to the garrhion. After reaching the south-east cor-
nnr of the paradcf-ground tho cortege w.ts received
wflth a salute from the artillery In the form of tho
first minute gim. jThe pr»)cesslon then moved north.
around the paradejground. leaving it from the south-
west unt'et, leading to the I'emotery, during which
timi* niluut** guns were ctmstantly beanl, the flags at

lowered to half-mAst. and all hu<!iness at the post

Mir e litigation, under date of the 3d Inst. ; * ' The Emma
Miiie seems to prOVe a fruitful source of litigation,
and the attomej's and court attaches may discover a
ricli lode hidden beneath the tiame. As Intimated in
this column recently, E. B. Chisfaolm, of this dty,
has. brought suit in chancery before the United States
Court of Vermont, at Burlington, agaio-st Park &
Baxter, claiming $-100,000. It is alleged that the
latter parties misrepresented the condition of the
company in Loudon, and defranded the plaintiff of
the ahow* sum, a.H is alleged. When the mine was
sold to Park & Baxter for $375,000 Mr. Chisholm

A WIDOWS SOX DROWXEB.
The St. LoniB RepubUcan has the following
in reference to the drowning, of a little boy in that
city on Friday: "Johnny Edwards, a 13year-old
boy, went to take a bath In company with two com-
rades, nametl John White and Hiram Moc. They
played around in prettv deep water, by holding to a
cable for support, but young Edwards finally missed
his hold; and was parried down by the current and
drowned. His companions state that several men
stood by and made no efforts to save the poor lad.
The event carried woe to a little household at No.

the Introdaction of the whipping-post as a means of
punishment for criminals, was rather a startling af-
fair. Not startling beeauae of tiw aewnesp of the

the Dark Ages having I«ft sneh a rich l^acy of in-
ventJoQB for exqniaite tortures to be inflicted upon
persons not having the right faith, or suspect-
ed of not having it, Or of being some sort of a
criminal, all the way np or down from the thtunb-
screw to gridirons* piseers for tearing the flesh, the
wheel, the bastinado, the knout, &e., and all to be
inflicted as punishment to make a law-abiding or
opinion-abiding instrument of the physical temple in
which it has pleased Clod to encase a living soul But
the startling feature of it all lies In the prospective
view of the Immense number of whipping-posts, and
the multitude of good, orderly citisens whieh would
be required to lash all the men who abuse their wives
and children, to say nothing of those who commit
the worse crime of theft.
Now, without going into an elaborate dlsetission as
to whether it would or would not be safer for a na-
tion's life and morals to beat a man so roundly for
whipping his wife, for Instance, that he win never
appear again for another wanning up of his cuticle,
bnt will prefer the opportunity horded of "going
somewhere else," and taking another wife upon
whom to inflict the valor of bis temper, and upon
some other State the burden of his olf^nring. The
good results that might arise by keeping a man
moving around in that way I will not discuss now,
but will simply ask the blunt question. Who is re-
sponsible for the tramps and criminals ? Are
they an outgrowth of our "peculiar institutions,"
and beyond the means of grace, who could not possibly
have been saved from becoming apest and a dangerous
burden to society, reqtriring such a large stock of offi-
cials to guard and pelt them, and such exorbitant
taxation to oonvict and support theu > Let as see.
The spirit of our imttitutions is, to not be before-
hand with crime, az^d not to interfere with the liber-
ties of its citizens ; but to let each individual strug-
gle to become a good citizen or a t>ad one, as dream-
stances and natural Inclination will permit. If cir-
cumstances and natural inclinations in some develop
thieves, then those who, by better conditions and
care, have become good citizens, must support a stand-
ing army of officials to arrest the thieves, and also
bear the expense of their prosecution and their ex-
penses in imprisonment, if there is not labor
enough there for them to do thiJ. Now, my good
brothers of whipping-post faith, and all order-
loving and humane citizens, before yon Introduce
the bastinado, so effectual in enlighter ed Egypt, or
the lash, so effectual once In the Sunny South, mease
to examine thoroughly the causes of crime, ana then
Its cost — this luxury that we toll day after day to
support in massive edifices, with their magnificent
retinue of guards, and for which such poor returns
are given — in favor of the orderlv and moral condi-
tion of the inmates — ^that the whinpiae-post is now
called for. After a thorough examination of the cost
and results as the matter now stands, let there be a
careful estimate made of what It would cost to send
this Idle population to some unoccupied Government
lands, colonize them, and teach them agriculture and
the useful arts, and try by every possible appeal to
their better nature to energize them into self-support-
ing people. We might find by careful estimates that
It would be cheaper, and haT^pier in results, to be be-
forehand with crime, and thatlnstead of treating peo-
ple aa constant offenders by stirriuK up the evil in
them, take the more economical way of educating
tkem into respectable men and women. If our pres-
ent method Is continued, we have nothing to look
forward to but ruin from taxation that must swamp
us.
Lot us for one moment look at this class of de-
graded beings from the human side, and see how a
f>orts(>n of tnem is made. We will take the common
ahorers of this City as an example. They are, as the
world goes, honest laboring men, who work hy the
day. The majority of 'these men have families;
they purchase their fuel and provisions in small
quantities, which all purchasers know Is the most ex-
pensive way ; they live in tenement-housee that often
subject their families to sickness, which Is always
more or less exf>ensive ; so it would be a dim-
cult matter for tnem to lay by mueli money at the
best. Besides this, they are men ' who understand
but one branch of labor, generally ; have more muscle
than brain, because they have been accu^omodto
have their thinking done hy a director or over-
seer. They are. in fact, grown children, so far
as possessing ability to look forward for emergencies
ana future provision. There comes a suspension
of busine.<is or of public woria, as the case may
bo, and they are thrown out of employment. A
short period without work wonld distress them ne-
cessarily, A continued idleness comes, and what
must be the inevitable result f They must take the
first step downward in pauperism or erfniinaUty.
After the first step is taken the road is clear ttnd easy,
for manhood is gone. Now. I earnestly ask. as a
eitizen and tax-payer. If we had all the knouts and
bastinadoes of the East, all the whipping-posts this
country can produce, all the slave lashes that the
South once had. and could have them vigorously ap-
plied to these miscreants, if it would remove the cau^
<ir restore manhood to one tramp or criminal f The
whip might make them more obedient in their degre-
dutlon as it would a Klave crouching in fear, or our-
selves brought under the dominion of a lash from
which we could not escape, no matter what it de-
manded.
It is a sad. sad spectacle to see weU-meaning men,
though Ignorant, willing and anxious to earn an In-
dei>endent living, drifting Into criminals and tramps.
the inevitable closing around them day by day. until
finally, for the sake of bread, they stana up, to our
view, as society's deadliest foe.s. This Is baa enough
without the lash. Now, then, if the lash must bo
used, let It first he applied to the backs of the bril-
llaut, cunning thieves — those who hnve pilfered onr
public treasuries, crippled onr public resources, so
that would-be honest laborers cannot now get an hon-
est living. Gentlemen, if the whipping-post must
stand in onr midst, let the first salutary example fall
where it really belongs— on the backs of our official
thieves. There is a man in custody now who has cost
itnr City enough to furnish comfortable farm-houses
for all the little girls and bovs who are infesting onr
highways and by-ways, and are now rapidlv swell-
ing the immoral and dangerous classes oi com-
munity. Don't take the poor. Ignorant fellow who
has learned to take advantage of the only school
which he has been allowed to enter — that of crime —
and lash him. while the magnificent tliief flaunts in
our faces a fulsome display of what he has stolen
from us. L. M, B.

A FEW POINT.^ ON THE LABOR QUESTION.
To (V Editor of tAe Xevf- York Time* :
The great question now belngr generally die-
cussed, both in public and private, loads me to call
your attention to a few points which )i&re not been
fully discussed. I would not have brought them to
your notice, had yon not evinced a disposition to
treat the subject from a business point of view. As-
at present organized, most eomorations seem to Ig-
nore the fact that many of their employee in sub-
ordinate positions are not only fully comx>etent to ad-
vise, but often have better opportunities for ascer-
taining the wisest poUoy to be pursued in their gen-
eral management. Lest I be accused of egotism. I
will give briefly the more prominent reasons for the
above assertion : When a man is placed In an official
position, whether through promotion or otherwise,
he is no longer on terms of familiarity with his sub-
ordinates. Although at that time he may be perfect-
ly familiar with all the details, -he soon loses his
grasp of them and fails to keep abreast of the growth
and improvement which is constantly taking place in
every branch of Indtutry. Thenceforth he depends
almost entirely upon ofliclal reports, or the scanty
information he may obtain from an employe sudden-
ly ordered to re port at head-quarters, who is Imme-
(Uately stifled with the air of formality prevading the
establishment. He feels that he is exnected to in-
dorse every measure that haa been adopted by his
sr^periors, while he mav be fresh from an informal
gathering of his fellow-laborers where the same sub-
jects have been thoroughly critidaed in familiar and
perhaps profane terms.
I have seen useless expenditures carried on for
two or three years amounting to $100,000, when
the employes had at the outset satisfied themselves of
their folly. That their views wer* correct was fully
proved by the final change of the system after the
money had been spent, while the results are now
more satisfactory than before. There was no chan-
nel through which these men could convey this in-
formation or it would have been done. We have
learned by experience that we usually get snubbed
when we Venture to make suggestions out of our Am-
mediate line of duty, and so long as no incentive
whatever is held out to stimulate our Ideas
we mako no attempt to venture out of the tread-
mill path. The able exhibit of modem railroad man-
agement made by Mr. P. M. Arthur a few days since
shows that the engineers are well aware of its most
glaring faults. There is probably not a railroad
company in this country which could not improve its
coniiUtion by taking the counsel of these men. We do
not ask for oo-operation, but merely a judidous sys-
tem of promotion and fair treatniont. ^
The practice of cutting down pay-rolls is far too
prominent a feature of econonucal mamutement.
The pay-roll is a stubborn, realistic fact. It stares
the miAncial managers In the face every week or
every month. Like death and the taxes, it is a eer-
tabity. As it cannot be removed. It must be re<lneed.
The items of breakage, wrecks, repatre,
fuel, &c, may occasionally swell up to
enormous proportiofis, but these it is
supposed cannot be avoided. Now, the fact is that
every change in a pay-roll which produoee dissatis-
faction among employes will increase expenditures in
some other dnreetion which cannot be defeeted. I
say diantlstMrtion, beeaose faithful employes who
have been wvU treated, tf they understand a rednc-
tion to be neeeMazv. will eompiy with the inevHable.

I have read much about the law of supply and de-
mand in connection with the labor queetioo, and I
desire to ascertain why the rule ia not applied to
the higher ofBcials as well as to the subordinates. It
is_ net true that skiUed labmr can be set up at anetkm
like merchantable commodities. Experience adds
value to the very Icrweat branches of laoor, and when
corporations, in order to carry out a spirit of re-
ved^ refuse to hire a union man, they itijuzv
their property by hiring green hands, who are of
an .mfenor ^rtuie, for it is the bungling eUto
thai are out of employment ie a gteetal
thing. Moreover, this same elase, when fairiy
warm in their places become dissatisfied and turbu-
lent in their turn, so that unless fair WMes an paid
for a fair day's work, no company can reuin a perma-
nent, steady, and experienced wotkln* foree. The
men who eartr out this policy are notur-aeetalff and
liberal-mltided. They doubtless value their own ex-
perieoee h^hly, but do not recognize the same qoall-
flcatioas in their subordinates. This greet qneetion
is full of rapiifleations. I will not attempt to follow
them out. but It conid be greatly simplified by the
more general application to bunuesa matters of the
rule, " Do unto others as you would be done by." or
"Pat yourself in his place." BS-RAILROADEB.

THB GOVKKNHENT AND THE BAILBOABS.
' J\)fheXditeroftJie ITtv-Yori T^mu :
Your editorial in this day's Isshq headed
" Bailroads and States " leads me again to the dis-
cussion of ttie establishment by Federal power of
a uniform rate per mile for freight on all dlstancea.
For instance, when four or five railroad kings estab-
lish a terminal or cot rate, the lt>eal indnstilee or
business of the entire country along ea^ route and
its tributaries to have the benefit of the same
rate per mile, limited to say distances of 25 miles.
I doubt if local rates on any of the great routes
have ever had a percentage benefit of cut rates, and
that the local industries of the entire country should
be taxed to maintun a strife for the supremacy of
power of great corporations at their termini, I
fail to see the justice of. The effects of It the lan-
guishing condition of internal manufactories will
corroborate, and of the necessity of their revival and
maintenance otir Secretary of State, at Washington,
has already spoken.
That such i>ower to create valnes should exist in
even flve men in an extent of country like oon, and
of such varied interests. Is not consistent with the
true interest of our Government. Th^r inca-
pacity to adhere to their " very own " agreements,
the semi-annual renewal of them, only to bo again
broken by some one of them, establishes. I doubt
if any human being is capable of properly wielding
such power as la referred to in vour editorial ; and
certainly, during the recent trouble, one idone stands
out prominently, as " equal to the situation " in
muntaining the morale- of 12.000 men In that
special event, the culmination of which- reminds
me of the warning given by New-Jersey's meet
loved spn against any centralization of power as
antagonistic to the manifest destiny of our whole
country. The hardest blow against such centraliza-
tion has been already struck by the policy of Presi-
dent Hayes. HIT ftlAr AGAIN.

STANLEY MATTHEWS ON FINANCE.
HOTT HE HOPES TO CHEAPEN GOLD BT THE
C8E OF THE DOLLAB OP THE FATHERS
AND THE BLO0I>-STAINED GREENBACK —
WHEN HE IMAGINES EESUMPTION WILL
COKE.
The Cineiimati Commercial of Sunday prints
a repdrt of a eonversation with Senator Stanley
UatthewB, in iChich he speaks as follows of the pro-
position relating to the Silver question, which he pre-
sented at an informal caucus held in Cleveland on the
eve of the BepubUean State Convention :
" I never professed on this occasion or any other to ■
represent the views of the Administration or the
Secretary of the Treasury on the financial question.
The proposition itself consisted of a resolution re-
citing that the present business distress of the coun-
try was largely due to an appiehension on the part of
the puhlio that the continued and Increaaing decline
of values was caused by the intended resumption of
specie payments on the Istof January, 1879, as now
fixed by law. and that the Besumption act itself fur-
nished no ineans for the execution of its purpose,
except the hoarding of gold to be purchased by
the sale of bonds, an attempt to do which was
pronounced ruinous and Impracticable. And then,
for the purpose of eifecting resumi)tion of specie
pa^'ments, and furnishing a fixed and unfluctuating
standard of value, with an ample ernrrency redeem-
able in coin at par on demand, it was proposed : Fin»t,
that Congress should restore to our eo£aage and the
circulation of the country the ancient silver dollar as
now and always known to our laws, to be a legal
tender in payment of all debts, public and private :
second, that' the legal tender quality of the greenback
notes should be extended, so that they should be
receivable in payment of Customs duties, and thus
be made equal in value to coin ; third, that with gold
thus cheapened by diminishing the necessity for its
use, and silver appreciated by incre vdng ita uses, the
requisite amount of paper circulation could and
ought to be raaintalnea at par with coin, and redeem-
able and exchangeable with coin at par : fourth, that
this le^lation Was essential and adequate to estab-
lish the necessary conditions for resumptloD, and
which oondHIonB, when realized, would of them- ^
selves fix the only date at which resump--
tion was practicable, by making It actual.
When this proposition was read in tho con-
ference it ^rks accompanied by a verbal statement of
certain Implied conditions wluchfomished its expla-
tiation and defense. The first was that the coinage
of the silver dollar should be on iiovemment ac-
count alone so that until silver and gold reached the
same par the Govenameut shouldkeep the entire
profit, consisting in the difference between the value
of the bullion and the coined sUver. Silver coinage
was not to be free untiU' that desideratum was at-
tained. Then the mints coald be thrown open to all
who desired to have silver coinage, on the same tenps
on which the Government coins gold. The second
condition was that for every silver ddUar issued a
paper dollar should be retired, so that by no posslbil-
ftv could there be any inflation of the currency. The
silver coinage was not to add to the bulk or quantity
of the ekculation, bnt to be a suhstitnte for that
amount of paper money to be withdrawn. Tlie third
condition was that the control of the silver coinage
being exclusively retained by the Government, and
the capacity or the mines being limited — as was
stated, about $50,000,000 per annum — the ad-
dition of silver to the circulation would be so
gradual that if anv evils should be developed
there would be ample time before they should be
realized to avert them by subsequent legislation.
Our Government, in that respect, would be precisely
in the same position in which were the Governments
of the Latin Union, who. by agreement among them-
selves, limited the amount or their silver coinage,
and thus prevented the demon etixation of silver in
Germany from banishing their gold coinage. We
would be in a better situation. Indeed, because our
ratio of value between gold and silver being as 1 to
10, and theirs as.l to 15 ^s, the depreciation of
silver would have loss effect upon our gold <arcula-
tinn than nppon theirs.
"In regardto the proposition to make the greenback
receivable for Customs duties, no objettion was
made, except that based upon ^he supposed pledges
of the Government to pay the principal and interest
of the public debt in coin, which was suppossd to
contain an implied obligation to collect the revenue
from Customs in coin ; but the substance of the obli-
gation was to pay the Interest of the debt in coin.
and we could do "that as well when we collect the rev-
enue in greenbacks as if we collected it in coin, for
the Government could buy the coin in the market
with greenbacks jnst as readily as private importers
could do. And if the scheme was carried out, and
greenbaolcB, by this new demand and the re-
monetization of silver, were made equal In value
with coin, there would be no breach of faith with
the public creditor, and no loss to the Government.
The quention as to -the date of resumption was one
simply of fulfilling the necessary conditions on which
resumption was practicable: and to "Say we wlU re-
sumo on the Ist of January, 1879, and then make
no provision by which resumption was possible, was
scarpely to 'keep the word of promise to the ear,"
and clearly to ' break it to the hone :' whereas, if
before Jan. 1. 1879. we brought about a state of
things in which paper was equal in value to coin.
then we had the fact of resumptioa realized without
reference to any mere legidative prediction. It
might or might not come to pass, according as we
made or did not make provision for bringing it to
pa.«R."
Referring to his recent visit to this City,
some criticisms upon it, Mr. Matthews said : " Ti
facts are that I made the visit to New-York in quei
tion on professional business ; that I did not take
occasion to give the merchants and bankers of New-
York the benefit of my financial views exicept
when specifically inquired of ' aa to my per-
sonal opinions. It was perfectly understood
that I spoke neither for the President nor the
Secretary of the Treasury. What I did say
was that as a matter of law the 5, 4^2. and 4 per
cent, bonds were pa^ble in coin of the standard
value of July 14. 18/0. and that at that time the
silver dollar was one of the authorized coins of the
country, and that consequently these boTids, by the
terms of the law, were payable either in gold or sil-
ver, as the Government might choose, provided it
was of the standard value of the date, fixed. As to
whether it would be expedient in fact to pay them in
silver or in gold, I gave no opinion, and I do not
suppose that any private interpretation of the
statutes and acts of Congress aptjlicAble to the case
can have any efi"ect whatever. The contract between
the Government and its creditors stands upon the
law, and any version of the law which may be put
Upon it. whether by a Senator, the Secretaiy of the
Treasury or the President of the United States,
will have no effect ' except so far as its
accuracy may stand the test of judicial invostifation.
No one dearos more heartily than myself the
restoration of ^ecie paymenta. I propose to
show my faith by my works, and I expect to prove
the sinceritv of 'my profession by advocating the
moans which make restmiption practicable. I think
a profeaslon In favor of paying specie at a day named
in tho future, without providing the means to do it
with, ia a hollow and miechievous piece of business.
To provide the means for restimlng specie payments
is the material thing, and may be done without namr-
Iftg the day. tl it can be done before the Ist of Jan-
niiy, I87v, I ahiJl rejoiee, but I am quite confident
' it eaonot be dexke at tibat time, unless in the maaa-
tfane •oma such provlsiona as I have Indies ted are

those of Hannah Adams, the eccentric historian at

runs across the grave of the matbematieian Bow-

Prof. Agassiz has a monument most unique in tts
character. It is a rough piece of granite rock, having
on one Hide his name, and on the other these
words; 'Boulder from the Aar glacier,' the scene d
Agas^z's early studies. : This rock w»» biaated ont oi

wae dragged by them many miles over the snow ttf
where transportation coul& be obtained to send it to

uralist there could not be. and that it was the preet
ent of these peasants makes It parfiio-,
ularly interesting. More expressions of »ur-j
prise are expressed at Slnmner's grave tha&i
at any other in Mount Auburn. It is a pleasast;
spot on a little path just to one side of the main road[
which runs from the chapel to the tower. A greet

on Somner than his humble headstone! Xa

Miss Cnshman wss in Boston, and, doubtless awmre
by the state of the affliction under which she -wb*-
suffering that her end was not far off. went out to
Mount Auburn and picked out the OKit where she de-
sired to be buried. She found a lot on the side of
the hUl on which tiie tower is situated, whlt^ had
been passed over by other pnrebasera, and imme.
diately bou^t it. She did so, she said, becanse tiis
spot commanded a full view of the winding Charles
and of her native Boston, which she loved so well.
As yet no stone is over her grave. A* Mount
Auburn is quite modem, it is wanting, of course, ia
stones with the ancient and antique inscriptions,
suclh as are usually found in NewEnnbuid ceme-
terie-s. Tet there is one which is odd enough to be
in a grave-yard of a much earlier date. One lot eojw
tains flve stones, one at each (lorner and one in tb<

spectively, 'Mv I Wife.' ' My II Wife,' "My III Wife/
and ' My tX Wife, ' while the one in the middle hsai
this. 'Our Husband.' Each wife .<eemstociaim antm'

Mount Anbnm are numerot-s, but a cromation fun

have marble doors, and it is cot very diflBcult to pi^
the locks. In old times, when baring was rife a4
Harvard, the?^ ^-aults were used as the rec^tacle oi
persecuted Freshmen. In the dead of night a
swift but silent procession would carry the neophyte
to college customs, just aroused from sweet dreams
of home, and often but thinly clad, along the road
which leads from Harvard -square to Mount Auburn,
and ha\'in£ deposited him in one of these cold stone
houses, would entertain him for some titne with
moans of a supernatural and infernal character and
with figures of ghosts. All ^iKirts of this kind have
been done away with at Harvard of late, and the

I received to-day yonr letter of the Slst ult.. and.
the subject to which it relates is so important that; ,

at once. I feel greatlv honored at what yon say is'
the prevailing wish of leading men in the State —
that I should acwpt the nomination for the olllee

the spirit that has led them to name me lor that
high poation. I candidly confess, however, that
my feelings induce mo to prefer . private lifa^
which I thmk more suitable to my condition and a^
and where, I believe, I can better advance the in-

will agree vrith me. I am sure. In the opinion thai
thus is no time for the indulgence of personal or poi

Tlie welfare of the State, and the interests of her

I think it important In selecting a chief magia-

choice of one objectionable to the General Govern-

From Ovr Ovm Oorrapondait
HoNESDAi^, Penn., Aug. 8, 1877.
On Aug. 8, 1829, 48 years ago toniBy,
the flrst locomotlvd that ever tamed a driving-
wheel on a railroad track in America, was run at
Uils place on the newly-finished road that con-
nected the Lackawanna coal fields with tide-
water on the Hudson^ hy way of the Delaware
and Hnd^n CanaL The road in question was
the flrst of any general commeFeial importance
ever bnilt in this country, and inaugurated the
economical system of inclined planes since
adopted by engineers wherever practicable. Up
to the 8th of August, 1829, there were only 12
miles of railroad in operation in America — three
miles o£ a five-foot 'gaug^ road running
from the Quincy granite quarries to the Napon-
aett River, in Massskchnsetts, and the novel
** mule road,'' nine miles in length, connecting
the Summit Hill Coal Mines, back of Hauch
Chunk, with the Lehigh Eiver. The road be-
tween Honesdale and Carbondale was 16 miles
In length, and was the result of the enterprise
and persistency of Maurice and William Wurts,
the pioneer coal operators of the Xiaokawanna
Valley, who introduced the first anthracite coal
Into New-York City. Railroad building was, at
the time mentioned, justbeglnning to awaken in-
terest among capitalists. The first great enter-
prise of the kind — the Liverpool and Manchester
fiailway in England — had been in process of con,-
■tmetion for some time, and was approaching
eoimpletion. George Stephenson, the father of
■team, locomotives, was struggling with the
Xoanagers of that company for the introduction of
■team as a motive power 'on the road.
His experiments had attracted' attention in
thia contry. Pending the decision as to whether
locomotivea should be used on the Liverpool
road, Horatio Allen, who had been John 6.
■Tervis* assistant engineer in the construction of
the Delaware and Hudson Canal, went to Eng-
land to examine into the merits of steam as ap-
plied to transportation on railroads. He was
latisfied that Stephenson's idea would revolu-
tionize all branches of commerce, and, acting on
hia Judgment, Mr. Jervis, by authority of the
company, commissioned him to purchase three
steam locomotives for use on the pioneer road
of America. Qeorge Stephenson was at the
time busy in preparing his subsequently
famous engine, the Rocket, for trial
on the Liverpool and Manchester Bail-
way. Allen contracted. therefore, with
ether machinists — Foster, Rastwick & Co., of
Stourbridge — to construct the machines for
the American company. About the middle of
May, 1S29, one or them reached thi^ country
tn the ship John Jay, and was landed at the foot
of Beach-street, New- York. The West Point
Foundry yard was then at the foot of that
street. Mr. Allen put the machine together,
and blocking its wheels clear of the ground, ex-
hibited its workings by means of steam gen-
erated with coal tl^t had been brou|:ht from
the mines the engine was intended to transport
cars fronr. For six weeks the wonderful ma-
chine was visited by thousands. Then it was
eent up the North Mver to Rondout._and from
there forwarded in boats up the canal to Honesr
dale.
The intention of the company had been to
open the road and canal, and celebrate the run-
mzig of the locomotive on the Fourth of July,
1829. but the work was delayed so that it was
not ready for use until the 1st of August. The
locomotive had arrived on the 23d of July.
When the road was in readiness the engine was
set up on the track on the company's coal dock,
nnder direction of Mr. Allen. This i)rtautive
railroad trafk consisted of hemlock r&iU, eight
Inches by Jen in thickness, placed four feet,
three inches apart, and spiked to hemlock ties,
with a space of 10 feet lb«etween them. The
timber had not been well seasoned, wid being
pot down under-a Midsummer sun. wtfs warped
and twisted out of all regularity by the time the
trial of the locomotive was to be made. The
road ran for nearly a quarter of a mile
along the coal docks, facing the village,
which had sprang suddenly from the
wilderness at the beck of the canal, and had
been named Honesdale, in honor of Philip Hone.
- formerly Mayor of New- York, and a patron of
the gn^t coal enterprise. After quitting the
docks the track ttimed abruptly to the west by
a curve of most threatenizig radius, and crossed
the Lackawanna Kiver over a slender hemlock
trestle, nearly 100 feet hdgh. When the pon-
derous locomotive was placed on the track, the
Impression l»ecame general thet it was too hea\'y
to be borne by the hemlock rails, and Mr. Allen
was importuned by many prominent men among
the vast assemblkge of spectators, not to
attempt the crossing of the trestle. He
saw the great danger at a glance, but feel-
ing that locomotive power on railroads was
destined to become tuuversal in years to come,
the pride of possessing the distinction of hav-
ing been the man to direct the energies of the
first one on the continent, overpowered his
sense of danger, and he declared that ho would
make the triplet the consequences be what
- they might. He steamed up the engine, and
after running it slowly backward and forward
on the dock in sight of the aesenxbled hundreds
for a few minutes, ha pulled the throttle-valve
Open, and shouting a loud " good-bye " to the
crowd, dashed away from tlie village, around
the curve, and over the shaking and swaying
trestle at a m,te of speed estimated at 15 miles
an hour. He ran several miles up the track,
and then returned to. the village amid the
shouts of the populace and the booming of
cannon. Although the locomotive, as a locomo-
tive, was a perfect success, the railroad was not
calculated to stand its use, and the expense of
adapting it teethe weight ocf the locomotive be-
ing too grreat to call for consideration at that
day, the engine was "housed" in a shanty on
the dock, where it lay for years, a prey to neg-
lect and decay. Its boiler was fineuly taken to
Carbondale, where it is in use and in excellent
•rder to-day. The pump was used by an em-
))Ioye of the company for several years, and was
at last washed away by a freshet and lost. The
rest of the machinery was broken up and sold
for old iron. The two-other locomotives shared
HiQ same fate. Only one or two relics of the
pioneer locomotive of America are in ex-
Jsteuce today. The engine was called the
Stourbridge Lion, from the place of its manufac-
ture. The nkachine weighed seven tons, four
tons being what the contract called for. There
were four wheels, eonnocted by side-roda.
Vertical cylinders on each side of the rear end
of the boiler communicated motion to a huge
^walking beam, connected with the side-rods of
the driving-wheels by other long iron rods. . The
engine was covered with rods and joints, and its
appearance was that of a great grasshopper.
Jonn B. Jervis, who ordered the locomotive, and
Horatio Allen, who ran it, are atUl living, the
one In Kome,; N. Y., the other In New-York
City. Both have since achieved some of the

The cremation ceremonies yesterday over
the remains of the late Dr. WInslow attracted a great
crowd of people. Some went as mottmers and friends
of the deceased, othen for the purpose of intelllgeat
observation, and a lazge nnmber uzged hy a vulgar
carioaltv.
Ahout 5:30 o'clock the body was brought from Sex-
ton Taylor's to the crematory and was Uk^tjsa. <^iarge
of by the pallbearers, Judges McKean, Hajrdon, and
Hagan, and Messrs. O. J. HoUister, Fredi Xioddey,
and J. K. Taylor. By these gentlemen the eoflln was
carried to the rear of the furnace, inhere the last
looks wer9to be taken and the last ceremonies to be
carried oat The rilenee was iny)r9stiv©; the
crowd so demonstrative and excited a few
moments before standing wit» uncovered heads In
respectful and reverential silence. The' deceased
being a disbeliever In fixed fonos of religion, the
usxuu coremoniea of borlal were not ooserred. "So
prayer was uttered, no sermon preached, no funeral
anthem sang. Some taatefnlly-wrou^t wreaths of
flowers were laid upon the temporary casket, and
lent the only softemng influence to the scene : yet
though the conventional forms of religttm were dis-
pensed with, one could not he-lp realizing the aol-
emnity of the occasion nor foreet that a human
behig, once full of life and intelligence, IHy there —
cold, silent, and dead — a portentona contr^ to the
excited and inconaldeTate throng which soxrounded
his remains. ' I
The funeral assembly, if it may be so palled, wai
first addressed by Dr. Hamilton, to whose untiring
ei^rUons the succeas of the undartaldng is mainly
due. The Doctor explained the cremation to be
brooght about by the desire of the deceased as ex-
pressed in his wui and on previous occaaions for tho
past 40 years, and spoke feelingly of his ' many vir-
tneSt his native and acquired abilitleij, and of the
good motives and Christiau conduct which had made
His whole existence satisfactory to himself and bene-
ficial to hia race.
Dr. Hamilton, on concluding hjs remarks, intro-
duced Gen. Bane, who eloqiiently eulogized the char-
acter of his late friend, whom h4 pointed out as a
model worthv of imitation to the young. , The Gen-
eral then spoke of the sentiinenta entertained by Dr.
"Winslow relative to the subject of cremation, and
enlarged on tiie repnlslveness and | evil sanitary re-
sults of slow decay in the earth.
Dr. Smart, of Camp Douglass, followed, and showed
himself to be an aole sp^ker and a thoroughly
scientific and earnest advocate of cremation. With
r^ard to views entertained by people on thU sub-
ject, he made a division of two classes: First, the
majority who uphold, as a result of early edacatioa
and Inherited sen timentalism. the conventional forms
of disposing of the body, and who regard cremation
as a sacriligious interference with established and di-
vine rules ; and second, tho I exceptional few who be-
lieve in creimation as a sanitary meaanre and as a
natural and proper dispositipn of the body, and who
claim that by this proceKs no uoxIoub gases are
evolved, no complex organid substances produced to
taint the air and poison the water for theiiving. Dr.
Smart made a ^rong argument against the oM form
of bnrial, showing that metallic and air-tight coffins
and processes of embalming prevent a natoral de-
composition of the body andretard the rettxm~Of dust
to dust.
Aftra* the conclosion Of ;these remarka' the body
was reanoved from the casket, deposited on a plate of
iron, and devoted to the consuming fires of the f or-
nace. The time occupied by the prooeas of incinera-
tion was 2 hours and 35 minutes, and the weight of
the ashes, after a thoroa^ and snccessfol reduction,
was four pounds, four ounces. His weiuht had been
reduced from aboiit 185 jKiunds at the time of his
death, to 126 pounds when the body was put into
the furnace. The fires had been kept up for some
hours preWona to the eommeacement of uie erema-
tion, hence the ftimace was ' extremely hot when the
corpse was placed in the |Chamber. The furnace
b^ng reverberatory. the flames passed all around the
body, which, viewed through the plate • of iiinglasa
in tne iddes of the chamber. ! appeared to be a mass of
blazing fire from a few momenta after the flame
touched it until the fiexh had vani^>ed and the bones
began to cyumble. The ash is a clear white, and,
after behig removed, was reduced in balk io a mor-
tar. It will be preserved in; a case, as directed in the
doctor's wiU, and sent east to be placed on his wife's
cofftn.
Duihie the burning a most offensive odor escaped
from the flnea, and was observed by people 00 or tiO
rods ficom the furnace. |

SHALL THET BE PAID OB SHALL THET BE
BEPUDIATED — THE MAIN QUESTION OF
THE CAMPAIGN NOW OPENING.
A recent letter from ^Vhite Sulphur Springs,
Va.'to the Louisville Courier-Journal saya that the
State politicians there are mainly interested in the
question. " Shall the State of Virginia preserve her
integrity by the payment | of her bonds Jdb full, or
shall t&ere be a compulsory readjostment ot her
debt t'^ which ia tantamount to repudiation. The
following is given by the same letter in explanation :
" At the close of the war a Military Government was
established in Virania. The formation of the State
of West Virginia Sad been ■ accomplished, and it was
declared a legaUy constituted State by the Supreme
Court of the United State^. The State of Vfrginia
att4:anpred to make a settlement with her creditors,
andpasscd what Is known as the ' Fundin|[ bill,' by
whichiits bonds were scaled; one-thjrd, and new bonds
Isaaedl to which were attached coupons receivable in
payment for all dues to the State. This was for
two-ttlirds of the anti-war State debt,
(^33.000.000,) the debt created by the war
havimc been wiped out by the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the United
StatesL One-third of the debt, ($11,000,000.-) it
vraa claimed, was justly due by the State of "West
Virginia, and for this portion certificates were iasned,
payable whenever a settlement was effected between
virgima and "West Virpiiia, Mid nbt before. Com-
miasicmers were appointed by.-the two States, but
they failed to agree upon any adjnstmont. Some of j
the Commissioners from We»t Virginia contended
that they owed no portion of the debt, the internal !
improvements for which it was created [being all out- '
sidEe of West Virginia except a few mud tompiices,
which were now valueless, but which they were
willhig to estimate at $1,000,000. This brought
the matter to a dead-lock, and so it has re-
.*jn*^td ever since. The certificates sell Jn tlie' mar-
ket at oig rents on the dollar. About $20,000,000
of the debt of Virginia was funded, and about
.$8,000,000 of accumulated interest and some bonds
have not been funded. Of the funded debt the cou-
pons are receivable for taxes, but for the payment of
the JJB.OOO.OOO mentioned no provision whatever
has been made. The main point in the Gubernato-
rial race is the readjustment, whether or no, of the
entire $28,000,000 of funded and unfunded debt.
Gen. Mahone is the champion of 'readjustment,'
which means a compromise with tho holders of the
entire amount of bonds ($2S,000.00*>) if possible.
And should the eflfort fail then, in all probability,
repudiation. Tlie candidates, other than Slahpne,
are all strongly for upholding the honor, integrity,
and credit of the State, and opposed to. repudiation
in any shape or any guise.*'
GOV. STOyE OF MISSISSIPPI.
The Jackaon (Miss.) Times, a Kepublican
j>aper, thus refers to the nomination of Gov. Stone
by the Democratic Convention of that State : ** Gov.
Stone has failed to create any enthusiasm .among
the ];>eople at the mention of his name". There has
been nothing In his administration of the office that
biyq marked him as the man for the place — nothing
that indicated any other than ordinary qualifications.
He has exhibited but little else than being a mere
yny^hinft man. He ran the Hlxecutive ofSce at the
dictation of those above him, and wholly in the
interest of the worst class of the Bour-
bon Democracy. It was the Chairman i
of the-State Executive Committee of the party, who .
issued the proclamations to > the people. It was]
he who said what ought, or what ought not to be j
done at any given time. It was he who held that the I
Governor was aM powerful at one time, bat hod
nO'pcFwer at all at another time to bring offenders to '
justice. It was he who ' apologized' for the Kemper
CooBtyriotto the whole Unit^ States, and it; waa,
his advice that controlled the Kxecutave's action, i
No wonder that a renomination of such a man
should fij^ no hearty response among the i>eople." I

ENpj OF TttE VITEIOL-THKOWING CASE —
IWIDOW GRAS COXDEMNED TO riFTEEN
TEABS' HARD LABOR — HER ACCOMPLICE
SENTENCED TO TEN TEARS' LUPRISON-
MENT.
Parit Dispatch to the London Keicg, July 27.
At 2 to-day a report, causing some excite-
ment, went throngh Paris that the Widow Gras had
been acquitted. It seemed very doubtful, after M.
JiBChand's speech, whether ahe would be convicted.
Some of the jurymen, it was known this morning,
were embarrassed atmut some points in the prosecu-
tion which theytbought weak. Gaudry, for Instance,
might have obtained the vitriol In the factory where
be worked, or been familiar with the ways of the
house in the Rue de Boulogne, or been hidden there
the whole evening unknown to the mlstreas and
servant : but, as the Judge remarked, while
admitting that his jealousy was proportionate to his
undoubted love, the old playmate would not explain
how he knew, unless the widow Qraa wrote to him,
that X>e Lta Roche was coming from Anjou to accom-
pany her to the Bal de 1-Opera, Has knowledge of
this appointment pointed to a conspiracy. Tnere
was also the fact, sworn to by one of the most emi-
nent of European oculists, that while the eye, which
la, not quite de\troyed, was under treatment, a eorro-
ai've liquid, probably eau de javelle, which la n&ed by
washerwomen to whiten Uneu, waa, after l>e T^a
Roche was sent to sleep with chloral, noured into it.
There waa a buttle of this fluid in the
house, and it was never ordered by the
widow. Dr. Weckcr threw up the case
when he suspected foul i)lay and was unable to pre-
vent it. Tne behavior of M. Da La Roche in court
gave to the affair a sentimental interest whirb it was
thought would touch the jury. The gossip of the
P^au de Justice ia, however, that some of them
would have given her the b*>uefit of different donbtti
had it not b^n that they thought after the efforts of
^Q unfortunate young man to slur over what he
thought damaging to her, it appeared tn them that he
was disposed. If she were free, to believe her story
and fall again into her clutches.
After the Preaident had summed up and the jnry
were going to retire, notes were passed to the Pro-
curator and to the counsel for the prisoners, telling
them that the cabman was found who drove the
widow Gras and her lover from the opera, and who
could have seen her keeplnc the gate open of the
alley to her house while Gandry was es<'apine. Natu-
rally, this Incident cause<l intense excitement, but as
the trial was rJosed hia evidence could not be heard.
Should it be favorable to Graa, it will perhaps lead
the Court of Cassation to find an error in the pro-
ceedings when the appeal comes before it,
and order the case to be heard a^in. The
jury remained half an hour absent. Ihey
returned on all the nine counts a verdict cHf
guilty, denying Gras extenuating circumstances, and
granting them to Gaudry. fihe waa condemned to 10
yean' iurd labor, and will, therefore, go to ex{Hate
her crime In a penal colooy >>eyond the seas.
Galidry's sentence is lU years' secluuon, in virtue of
which'he will be sent to a French prison. He waa
stripped of his military medal before quitting the
dock, aud sobbed plteously when it was wreached |
from his buttonhole. The widow's face was perfect- i
ly unmoved, fihe is a plain, dark woman, with
Bnow>' hair, low forehead, ardent black ^ye», thin
retroussd nose, with wide and very mobile nostrils.
Without being coarse, her phralognomy is very
euergetic There Li a fascination In the woman >
t^lioesa explaining the empire she exercised over
rich dupes. _
A TEST BLOWy DOWX.
A temperance festival was held at Lake 3e-
hago. Me.-, last week, in a tent, and closed on Sunday
by an accident which the Portland Arffus thus de-
sczibea : * ' The exercises ^ the forenoon were of the
usual nature, and those of the afternoon might possi-
bly have been, bad not Nature herself revolted and
overthrown the big tent and deluged the thousands
who stampeded from under the ruins, seeking for
shelter which many were unable to And. The exer-
ciiies were opened bv a prayer from Rev. J. C. Penrv,
of Brideeton, and then followed a sermon from R^v.
O. M. Couslna, which had barely closed and the choir
struck up a hymn, when a sudden gust of wind tore
the tent from itv fastenings. By almost a miracle
there was onlv one person seriously injured, Mr.
Samuel Saunaers, of Portland, a blacksmith, whose
head WAS severelv cut by a falling tent pole- A boy
named George llles, of Gorham, had his arm some-
what bruised. Mrs. Da\"ts, of Raymond, and Mrs, .
lawyer were slightly injured. Hiram Graffam, of
Steep Falla, had hit right ear badly lacerated. Any
quantity of ladies lost tlieir hats, and broken para-
sols were ahnoat as plenty;,afi sands on the lake shore.
One reason why so few comparatively were hurt is
explained by tho fact that a large tree oanght and
momentarilv uphold the falling tent, and thus pre-
vented the large tent poles coming down with that
force which otherwise most h.ive been the case. To
make matters still more unpleasant, just as the tent
fell a fierce rain-storm sprang up, and all save those
few who could be accouuaodated in the restaurant
building got thoroughly drenched. "
AX VyCOMUONLT SHARP MAIKE FOX.
The Somerset (3Ie.) Reporter is responsible
for the following story : "The fox which Mr. Pair-
grieves now has occupies a yard hack of the store, to
which Mr. Fairgriave's dog has free access. The dog
and fox are g^eat friends. They &olic together, play
' no end ' of jokes on each other, and live in the
most perfect harmony, save at ' meal time.' The dis-
cussion that a choice hit will call forth Lb sometimes
most interesting. Mr. Fairgneves gave the fox a
bone the other day. The dug had been taught by
experience that it was no use for him to try to cap-
ture it, so he retired into the store to watch the pro-
ceedings, doubtlesfl hoping something would turn
up in Ms favor. The fox ate what he wanted of the
bone and preferred to lay it away fot fefture nsc. The
doftprdcked tip his ears, but yawned and betrayed no
especial Interest. The fox dug a dee^ hole, placed
the juicy bone in the bottom, and. covering it over
with earth, ' patted' it down. He then went into
his kennel, brought out an old dry bone that he had
kept away from the d<^ for sevenl days * out of pm-e
cuasedness, ' placed it In the hole over the sweet one,
covered it up with apparent care, and retired to hla
kennel to watch operations. The dog saw the fox
safely boused, and, as he had done before, stealthily
approached the treasure, resurrected the dry bono,
and trotted off/^ ^

Brunt to vacate the order of arxpst, Thompson
swearing that the $5,000 was an advance made to
him by uls brother to relieve the plaintiffs during
temporary' embarossment, and that he simply repaid
it to his brother, and that . pliuntiffs owe mm
$20,000, which he had begun suit for previous to
this action. Plaintiffs' reply is. that by the account
of tho defendant, in 1876 he was $13,000 iu their
debt, of which the $5.0O0 in question was a part,
and that defendant had no authority to pay it to his
brother. Decision reserved.
James A. Byrnes, who was a witness in the
Stokes case, aud was pzominoutly connected with
the Barmore will case, marrieil the daughter of Mrs.
Maria Molock, widow of WiUlam Mulock, a N'ew-
Jersey lawyer. He resided with hia mother-in-law
In 18r»9, taking charge of her Urge estate. Mrs.
Mnlock claims to have discovered that he had de-
frauded her. and she sued him on a note for $2,500
drawn by him .to his wife's order and by her trans-
ferred to her mother. Byrnes disputed the validity
of the note, aud made a counter claim of $14.0O0
for services and money expended. The Referee to
whom the matter was referred found for the plaintiff,
and rejected the counter-claim, giWng judgment
against Rymes for $3,751. A motion before Judge
Van Brunt yesterday for $350 extra allowance was
granted.
Peter J. Klein and Charles Beichert who were
arrested for being implicate in a large number of
tliefts from the mourning store of William Jackson,
Nn. 777 Broadway, where Klein was employed as a
salesman, were before Judge Sutherland in the Court
of General Sessiuna yesterday. Mr. ' Jackson had
long ' missed articles of value from his store,
and with the assistance of ^^ergt. Kealy, of Police
Head-quarters, hually succeeded In tracing them to
Klein. Tho prisoners were Indioteti on tae specific
bhat^ of larceny of two pieces of dress silk valued
nt $/ O. which Klein stole and sold to the receiver.
Charles Beichert, who kept a place at Ko. 261
Seventh -a venue. On being called to the bar by As-
sisiant District Attorney Herring, both prisoners
pleaded guilty to petit larceny. aM were each sen-
tenced by Judge Sutherland to six montha In tho
Peniteniiarj-.
MRS. SMITH DISCHARGED.
Mrs. Margaret Smith, the woman whom on&
of the morning papers has been trying to foist into
pubUc notoriety by publishing elaborate reports of
her Incarceration in the Tomba on tmmped-np
charges of larceny, in order to prevent her being a
witness in the famous l^e dlvoroe auit, was again
before Judge Sutherland yesterday in the Court of
General Sessions. On Monday the alccnsed was tried
on one of the charges — that of stealing and pawning
four pidra of blankets from Mrs. Jane Willard, from
whom she rented the fomitmre of the honse ^o. 103
Clinton -place. The jury were ixoi. certain that the
blankets in question had not been transferred to
Mrs. Smith with the other property, and, giving
her the benefit of the doubt, acquitted her. The
other charge on which she was arraigned yesterday,
was that oi appropriating to her own u«e bed and ta-
ble linen and plated ware, valued at S50. the prop-
erty of Mrs. Francis M. Crosby, No- 374 West Thir-
ty-fiecond-street, from whom. alao. Mrs. .Smi'f^ had
hired a furnished house, "when Assistant I>istrict
Attoimey Herring oaQed the case, the complahmnt
did not respond, and after a consultation between
the Court and the District Attomev, it was decided
to release the prisoner. Judge Sutneriand. address-
ing her, said : ' ' You are either particularly fortu-
nate, or partictilarly ingeniona. You stand charged
with grand larceny, but it Is perfectly clear that you
could not be convicted unless it could be shown that
at the time you leased this house you intended to
steal the propertv. I therefore disoharse you on
your own Tecogtuzaneea.'* Onheaidng the decision
in h«r case Uss. Smith bowed blandly to the ooorC
and was soon joined hr a nnmber of male and fomtla
frlpinda, who tandazad nar their conjpatnlations.
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
T.TABTT.TTY OF THX GOYER2WCNT FOB BX7S-
PENDINQ WOBK COKTBACT£D rOB.
WASHmcTox, Atig. 8.— The following de-
cision has been rendered ha the Supreme Court of
the United States :
Ko. 79B-~The United States, appeUatUs, t$. Jouoh
£mtfA.-T-AppeaI from th« ConA of Qaima.— Tha only
questiona presented in this case relate to the liahUitx
of the TJzdted States for damages growing oat of the
suspension of the work nnder tiie eontraot sued
upon. In effect the contract bound Smith to furnish
the matetiida and erect the buildings, the labor being
perfonned by the soldiers at the fort, ea^cept to the
extex^ tSiat skilled workmen were neceaaary. There
was no time specified within which the work must be
done. Neither was there any power reserved by the
United States to direct its auspenslon- Under «ui^
circumstances the law impliea that the wozQe should
be done within a reasonable time, and that the
Utfited States Would not unnecessarily Interfere
to prevent this. In Clark's case (6 WalL, ^46) it
was decided that the Uxdted States were
liable for damages resulting from an improper
interference with the work of a contractor, and in
Smoofs case, (15 "Wall., *?,> that the principles
which govern inquiries as to the conduct of indi-
viduals In respoct to their contracts, are equally ap-
plicable where the United States are a party. The
same rules were applied In the case of the Amoakeag
Company. (17 WalL, 592.) Here the work waa
stopped by order of the United States. Smith asked
to be released from his contract unless he coaiUl go
on. This was refused until the expiration of off"
days, when he was allowed to resume. As between
individuals, certainly tills would be considered an
improper interference, and damages would be award-
ed to the extent of the los^ which was tjie necciisary
consequence of the suspension. The United States
must answer according to the same rule. In this re-
spect we cannot consider this case different in prin-
ciple from that of Clark, (ti Wall. 546.) The (Jourt
of Ol&lms has found the amount of damages to have
been f 5,000 ; that iato say, that sum, in itsopinlon,
from the evidence before it. was necessary to place
Smith iu the aame condition he would have been if
hfe had been allowed to proceed without interference,
aud not allowing for loss or injury to his materials,
wMch he might have prevent^ by the ex;eroiae
of reasonable care and prudence. This rule of dam-
aces^ as an abstract proposition, is clearly right.
Unless, therefore, there appears in the record some
error erowing out of the estimation of the amount,
the judgment below should be afBrmed. By our
rules In reference to appeals from the Court of
Claims (Rule 1, Sec. 2) that court sends here its
finding of facts as " established bv the evidence, in
the nature of a special verdict.^' The evidence la
not sent up. This finding is conclusive unless im-
peached for some 5rror in law appearing on the
record. Here, in effect, the error comxdaiued of is
tliat the court refused to state the items of its
account lof damages^ This we have not required,
and while u^der the practice we have estabUshed
liberal provision should be made for review of ques-
tions of law, it seems ta us that In this ease the
claim of the United States goes beyond anything we
ought to grant. The court might with propriety
have been asked to state in a finding whether .any
particular item of claim <if damage was included in
Its e&tiuiAte, and if so. vriiat amount. To such a
finding exception might in proper form be taken,
aud then we could be called upon to decide
whether such an item waa lefftUy the sub-
joct of compensatidn In an action for damages.
The United States can be required to make compensa-
tion to a contractor for damages which he has actu-
ally sustained by their default in the performance of
their undertakings to bjm. but thiH is the extent of
their liability in the Court of Claims. More tliaa
gsmpeusation for damages actually sustained can
e^'e^ be awarded against the United States. In this
rjise the United State.<t' asked the court to find, first,
the amount of damage done to the building on ac-
count of exposure to- the Winter storms in its unfin- ■
ished condition ; second, the amount resulting from
the retention of tJie skilled labor, &c. and, third, the
deterioration in the value of materials. All these
were Icjritimate subjects of inquiry by the court in
making up its final estimate, but we know of no rule
of law or practice which requires a court or jury to
itemiee the elements of the calculation by which it
firrlves at its final result. In this case the court waa
not asked to say whether it included this or that sup-
pnserd element of compensation in its judgment, but
l^e only report .<ieems to have been to ascertain the
ittona of calculation so as to determine -whether the
proof supported thera. The whole contest evidently
was as to the sufficiency of the evidence, not as to
the liabihty of the United States if the
facts as claimed were estabUshed by pr*wf-
In the estimation of damages the Court of <?Uims
occupies the position of a jury nnder like circum-
stances. Damages must be proved. The court Is
not permitted to guess anymore than a jnrj-, but
like a jury: it must make its estinxates from tho
proofs submitted. The result of the best judgment
of the triers is all that the parties have any right to
expect. As the record presents the case, we see no
error in the court beh>w. The judgment is, there-
fore afinncd. The Chief-Justice delivered the
opinion.

The chief interest attacliing to the Maine
nepnWican Convention which meets to-day
arises from the attitude of certain prominent
leaders in that State toward the So|uthern
policy of the Administration. ttecent
events have probably done something to
convince tliese gentlemen that this question
is not at present a live one in our ]^ ilitics,
and that problems in regard to wh oh the
voice of Maine will not count for much
are in a.fair way to engage the atteniou of
Congress and of the country for^ some
time to come. We trust, however, that
the ***wsrm discussion " which is expected
to be a feature of the convention
wilL' be forthcoming. It would do n|) harm
to have all the arsfuments for and against
the policy of surrender ventilated once more,
and whether considerations of expediency or
Off time-honored principles are to govern the
drafting of the resolntions, it.would be well
that both sides should frankly and fully
''&ave their sav.
The Democrats of Pennsylvania have
called their/ convention ' for the 22d of
August. It;is stated in our dispatches that
this course"was finally adopted against the
advice of the more conservative leaders bf
the part>% who were afraid of the influence
of the labor excitement upon the average
represejitative of the Democracy. Apart
from ' all partisan considerations, it
is Tsineerely to be de.sired that
the / convention shall treat the la-
l>or' question frankly, firmly, and wisely.
Tbie most serious occurrences of the recent
rior'cs took place in Pennsylvania, and no
State in the Union has a larger proportion
o!. the classes among whom the disorderly
araikers were recruited. The means of deal-
ing with- difficulties of this character have
always been exceedingly defective in the
State, yas the growth and violence of the
Molly f Maguires' organization sufficiently
prove. It would be a great misfortune if
either" of the political parties should adopt a
demagogic tone on this important subject. For
once, we hope that the Democrats of Pennsyl-
va'iria will follow temperate and honest eoun-
Bebi in dealing with the labor question.
• ""ome of the deUghts of the life of soldiers
iri our Regular .Army are forcibly illustrated
Jn the dispatch from Chicago, in another
'column,, confirming the rumor of a fight
"With Indians in Texas. This took place on
what is known as the Staked Plains, a deso-
late and arid region, lying between the old
route to Saute F6 on the north, and that to
El Paso del Norte on the south, and be-
tween, the mountains on the west and the
head- waters of the tributaries to tEe Red,
Colafado, and Bi-azos Rivers on the east.
Across this barren desert a small body of
troops fought its way, being eighty-six
hf)ur8 without water, and losing two offi-
cers, twenty-five enlisted men, and forty
horses. How many of these were killed,
and how many died from thirst and exhaus-
tion, is not known. The Staked Plains are
bordered by the country of the Comanches,
and it was probably by this tnbe that the
troops were attacked. The detachment has
•reached Fort Ckmcho on the south-eastern
wlge-of the Plains, and Is now safe. It is
men. engaged in this kind of work whom the
Dem.ocrats denounced last Winter as " in-.
Btmments of despotism," and whose dangers
w^re infinitely increased by the reckless re-
tnction of'the .Army.
In Loujsviile, Kentucky, the other day,
ihe Working Men's Party, as it is called,
elected nearly all of its candidates for the
Legislature. Whereupon, the Courier-
Journal falls into a melancholy mood, and
says that " if Louisville is not a Democratic
city, the sooner it is known the better." The
significant fact in this business is that the
Democracy have claimed, in Lonisville and
elsewhere, to be the special friend of the
working man. It was the Courier-Jovmal,
if we remember aright, which commended
S. J. j VoDss as a " homy-handed son of
toiiI,f i» man who seldom wore a roae in his
buttob-iwle. Kow the LonisTiUa vorkinff
thiir

C^g jltltt-f Jfltii
men have deliberately throvm over tbttir
Democratic patrons and have elected m^n
of their own choice. With adzbirable phi-
losophy the party organ declares that " the
two old parties, Democratic andBepublicajn,
will continue in the field." As long as itjis
only a Democratic majority which has been
overthrown, the organ, though mortified, is
confident that there has not been much of a
shower. If the working men had '' gone
back on " the other party, the case would
wear a ver y different aspect. I ■
.America IS in France are just how looked
upon as incendiary persons. The other
jJay, one c f the functionaries of the Mac-
ilahon Government staid away from a diln-
ner giveni to Shea, one of our Marine
Court Judges. Shea is a small man to re-
ceive th« compliment of a political dinner ;
but the Sub-Prefect, who represents antji-
Republicaii ideas, made him conspicuous by
avoiding thie symposium. .And now, some
wandering .American, Bigqar by name,
is proclaimed a spy because ho
has called MacMaiion an ass.
BiggaR, who may be the famous
Home Bultr for all we know, is a very poor
sort of spy. He fills himself ; at a public
dinner-table and then loudly declares his
belief in the Marshal-President's asinine
qualities. Biggar may be an .Amerioari, an
ass, even, hut it is not at all likely that he is
a spy. And the worst thing which could
happen to she MacMahon Government would
be an opportunity for the Paris wits to make
sport at tbe expense of ani Administration
which seriously takes notice of Bioqar's
allegation l:hat the Marshal-President: is an
Harmony does not characterize thfe pre-
liminary proceedings of * the Virginia
Democracy. Their convention to npminat^
a Gubem'ational candidate met in Rich-
mond yesterday, wrangled I through' two
sessions and adjourned, last night, wiithout .
accomplishing anything beyond in orgianiza-
tion. A significant incident Of the opening
of the sessjion was the row created by |an at-
tempt on jthe part of the temporary jChair-
man to say a good word[ for the anti-repudia-
tion party. The speaker was interrupted
and catecliized to such an extentjthat he was
finally obliged to sit down. The proceed-
ings of thei day were simply riptcus. ■
The Police Commissioners : are having a
hard time' with their burden of tha City
garbage and refuse. Judge DciNOHrE vest
terday refused to continue an injunction
restraining the authorities of Kmgs C ounty
from intej^fering with the dumping in the
Lower BaV. The Judge decides that tlie
courts of Kings County afford ampU' rem-
edy in all such cases. On the bther hand,
that ancient mariner, Mr. George W.
Blunt, in tjehalf of the Pilot Commissioners,
demands that District Attorney PtlELPS
liisclose what steps, if any, he proposes to
take to punish the Police Co limiissi oners
for their wfcked violation of law Sn dumping
garbage in the aforesaid Lower Bay. Of
course, there is no dumping-ground this
side of th(! locality before mentioned.! The
open sea, far beyond souiidings, is all that
is left to toe Commissioners, unless they c^n
find some place on the solid land. As gar-
T' I
bage-scows are not sea-goiug craft, the op-
position or I the Brooklyn Shore Inspector
and the New- York Pilo^ Commissioners
promises to stop altogether the dumpingj of
garbage, and " What will they do with itjf"
becomes an interesting question when tjie
burden of the Police Commissioners is con-
sidered. !
RAILROADS
FEDERAL
ASD THE
POWER.
The bitterness with which journals sup-
posed to represent railroad potentates re-
sent the idea of Federal supervision oyer
railroad concerns contrasts sunusingly with
the appeals of the potentates in question to
the Federal power in the presence of recent
difficulties. The paralysis that had over-
taken local authority . in Pennsylvania
and elsewhere led them to look, instiiic-
tively, to Washington for help. Constitu-
tional- technicalities were disregarded |in
the anxiety ^o obtain the succor which only
national authority could render. Subject
to prescribed formalities, the invoeat^on
of Federal assistance was generally regarded
as the natui'al result of the proportions which
the railroad system has assumed, and ias
justified by exigencies to which, in sonie
States at least, local power was evidently
unequal. It was felt that the Pennsylvania
Railroad system and the Baltimore and Ohio
system had outgrown the regulating capacity
of Pennsylvbrnia and Maryland, respectively,
and that their inter-State relations consti-
tuted a title to more than local considera-
tion in respect of measures required for
the re-estab(lishment of business order sind
security. Col. Scott's reiterated calls (for
aid,- addressed direct to Washington, are
proof that in his judgment, in a period , of
peril, the Government may be properly
asked to intervene in behalf of the
ramified interests which now enter
into the organization of a great
railroad. Mr. Garrett's early; action
pouits to the same conclusion, though pfer-
haps in a less decisive way. The hypothejsis
on which both proceeded is, that truuklines
of railroad, composed as they are pf Units,
or series of links, constructed and worked
in pursuance of authority derived from fhe
legislatiires of various States^ have
acquired national characteristics, and
may turn to the Federal Govern-
ment for deliverance from troubles
with which local functionaries are unable to
cope. The thory is just. Its operationi is
necessarily affected by constitutional limita-
tions and inethods, but with this under-
standing the presumption Col. Scott acted
ui>on is reasonable. An innovation, it may
be, but it is an innovation which has its jus-
tification in railroad developtnent and the
part it plays in the business and social life
of the country.
There is, however, another side of the
question. If the gigantic organization of
capital and industry now embraced in the
system, so-called, of a great railroad invests
that system with national characteristics,
and in an emergency entitles it to national
recognition, the inference is that jthe Na-
tional Government may assert a right to su-
pervise, and in certain circumstances to regu-
late, the managenirent. It is absurd' to
suppose that a group of officials, elegantly
quartered in Philadelphia, may issue orders
affecting the traffic of half a dozen contig-
uous States, the welfare of fifty
. thousand workmen employed on the
line, and th> ypeaoe of the commimi-
ties throtish which it runs; that
they may, moreover, rely upon Federal
troops for the protection of their property
and the enforcement of their orders, how-
ever inequitable and irritating ; and that
thdy may, nevertheless, claim immunity
from a control exerted wholly in the public
interest. The rights acquired by these rail-
roads, or by the combinations that speak
and act in their name, entail corre-
sponding obligations. They have overstepped
the boundaries of States, and have at
their command vast and varied powers de-
rived from sources each independent of tiie
others. Their consolidated strength en-
ables them to dictate terms to the trade
and commerce of States, to dispense a
patronage more corrupt than is now possi-
ble in connection with Governmental ex-
pehditmres, and, in nmny cases, to sway
the proceedings of local legislatures.
'Their powers are as anomalous as
they are arbitrary, and their capricious exer-
cise often renders them odious to the popu-
lation dependent upon the roads for travel
and traffic. Such a condition of things can-
not last. Having acquired the mastery over
States, these jrailroad systems, carrying
enormous weight, financial and political,
and exercising an authority not likely to be
ilways patiently submitted to, surely
should come within the jurisdiction of
the Federal Government. The States can-
not be relied upon to regidate them, either
by prescribing methods of management or
by I exacting adequate guarantees against
the abuse of the influence they wield.
Either the Federal Government must step
in and assert the controlling power which
is required for the protection of the public
interests, or the railroad managers will
i[emain the irresponsible masters of the
sitnation.
i It cannot be pretended that the interf er-
(inie we suggest is an infraction of the
rights conferred upon the companies by
local legislation. All that is essential in
the principle is now conceded. • The com-
panies admit that they are in certain re-
spects amenable to the States, and the deci-
sions in the Gi-angcr cases so widen the right
of States as to practically cover a large part
of the main (juestion. But the exercise of
thp right cannot be depended upon as regards
Either wisdom or integrity. We have seen
in Iowa and Wisconsin how arbitrarily and
iluwisely local authority may proceed imder
tlhe stimulus of prejudice, or under the
smart of real or fancied wrong. .And we
have for years seen in Pennsylvania how
the managers of a single corporation, greedy ■
and unscrupulous, control all legislative
or departmental action within the State,
I^hen the imlividual or corjiorate interests
re concerned. Kxperionce in Pennsylva-
nia, on one hiknd, and in Wisconsin, on the
other, is conclusive as to the inadequacy of
State authority for the performance of
functions connected with railroad admi-
nistration. It is only necessary to revert to
our experience in this State in relation to
the life insurance interest — an interest small
in comparison with that of railroads — to
realize the folly of dependence upon a local
legislature for the firm and judicious ap-
j>licatiou of radical reforms. lu both cases

Opposition to effective legislation proceeds
from those whose mismanagement is the
primary cause of the diasatisfaction that
prevails. For their own purposes, they
choose to describe as inimical to a great
system what is really opposition to the
abuses of which the system is made a pre-
text. To the railroad system there is no
hostility anywhere. Demagogues may con-
found the thing itself with the evils that
lave grown out of it, but the great majority
c f the American people are too intelligent
tio be thus misled. They are dissatisfied
•vtith the cheeks locally imposed upon rail-
road management because these checks have
lieen proved to be insufficient. If by and
try they turn to Washington and seek from
(!ongress adequate remedies for existing
abuses, and adequate guarantees of bettor
roianagement in the future, the bona fide
holders of railroad property will Ijave no
just reason to complain. The system which
nppresspH and over-taxes the country also
drains their legitimate resources and exposes
their interests to perpetual peril. Federal
intervention may spoil the games of divers
managers of railroads ; to the railroad inter-
est, properly considered, and to the public,
it means unmixed good.
JZESUMPTIOy AXV REAI. ESTATE.
The Chicago lYibune, ordinarily a rational
oumal, seems to be occasionally smitten
'vith spells as wild as the dancing mania
ivhich used to afflict some unfortunates a
century or two ago. In one of these it re-
cently declared that in the United States we
may see "the extraordinary circumstance
that, as measured by money, real estate has
fallen far more than all other descriptions
of property." Further, we are told that
^eal estate " has fallen so low, and so con-
tinues to fall, that no man will invest a dol-
lar in it ;" that " mortgages executed at 40
or 50 per cent, of low valuations mai|S~since
the panic are not now even worth the
money loaned," and that " men who, two
years ago, bought real estate, improved city
property, and paid half the purchase money,
(fannot now sell the same property for what
is due on it." Thereupon the Tribune pro-
ceeds, with all the recklessness appropriato
to a striker with blood in his eyes, to pre-
dict a most dismal train of consequences to
follow the demand for and withdrawal of
gold which the attempt to execute the Re-
tumptiou act, seveiiteen months hence, is to
et in motion.
There is a saying that children and fools
generalize from insufficient data ; we would
not be understood as quoting this, but would
"t be discourteous if we should say, children
nd the Chicago Tribune f If before the sen-
tences above quoted the word " some" be in-
serted, the breadth of the assertions will be
narrowed, and their correctness be in-
creased in a very great degree. It is im-
doubtedly true — ^not only in Chicago, about
hich the Tribune may be better authority
han anybody at the East, but generally —
;hat some real estate will not now bring the
'ace of the inortgages on it, and there are
stances within our knowledge in which
property sold before 1873 on a fair propor-
tion of cash and mortgage, has now been
taken back by the mortgagees, its former
owners, in satisfaction of the lien and in lien
of foreclosure proceedings. It is true that
^ great deal of property in buildings, erected
before 1874, could be replaced for 60 to 80

fictitious I and expectant value set on it ;
trud liliatj Teal estate generally is stagnant
and dead, unsalable except at very low
figures. But what then T Of course, what
the Tribiiite says is mainly a question of
valuation ; but assnming that the valua-
tiorg made since 1873 were really low,
the tiroad assertion that improved prop-
erty'has ishmnk 50 to 60 per cent, in the

less.

cannot earn the rent they formerly paid, and
mu^t pay, then, out of surplus formerly
made or out of capital, if at all ; owners
are |n iturally reluctant to accept the con-
clusion tliat the i|.et income from real estate
should properly be a little less rather than a
little mom than tjhat from the most eonser-
vattvs ami permanent securities ; and while
the!reasou for this should be the compara-
tive freedom from risk in real estate, the
collection of rents has become so far a mat-
ter oftjuestion that this comparative securi-
ty does not appear at present. Take,
the: 1,1 the further facts that while personal
property uan and does evade most of the tax
burden ■niich the law attempts to lay on it,
rea. estt.te eaniiot, that the diffusive-
ness of taxes is not generally under-
stood, ani that jcapital shrinks at pres-
sent tron. putting itself in a position to
be 'axed, and there is reason enough ap-
parent forthe deiidness of real estate.
I ut no le the less is it wildly erroneous to
taka rea. estatel "measured by money" —
that is, b|- the cash it will bring to-day, forced
upc n a Tiirket which has no buyers — as hav-
ing " fallen" iri value to what it will thus

wil be nd value ^eft in any stock or bond,
for all will "be over with the United States;
goli ind silver, and such movable property
as iQiiy ntoain, will be all that is left. ,When
the lyibine, therefore, generalizes from
some disdouragiilg instances of Chicago ox-
per ience. it surely does not pause to con-
sider what tho Statement implies, -taken
brciailly ind litejrally as made. As to its
dol sful p :edietions about tlio gold exaltation

"hns; b:fore Jifn. 1, 1879," the conse-
qu<n3e of which will be that "general
baiiruplcy and ruin must take place, and
the r(>al<irtate oftho country will be con-
centrate! I in a few hands at small cost,
under the foreclosed mortgages,'' we can
only say that it would hardly be worth while
for the n brtgagees to foreclose under such
circumsti.nces. This sort of talk is not
worth seious discus.sion on its own merits,
but unf c ' rtunately there are thousands of
voters ii Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio who
may be influenced by it. "The value of
money haS been so increased," says this
teacher of error for the occasion, " that un-
less there be a change in the downward ten-
dency of property, the great bulk of the real
estate in the United States will pass into the
hands of the few money-lenders, and there
will be a landed monopoly here as great as in
Other lands{ ; Congress will meet in October,
and to bfeak up this revolution in the value
of moneyl as compared vrith other property,
it must reinove the cause which has pro-
duced this extraordinary condition of af-
fairs."; No publicist possessing intelligence
enough to entitle him to instruct at all
should use so barbarous and inaccurate
an expression as " the value, of money as
comparia jwith that of other property ;"
but l^t that pass. The context indicates
that the repeal of the Resumption act, d la
sundry Eieinoeratic platforms, is the step
which Congress should take. To discuss
this proposition is certainly superfluous as
regards, any reader whom The Times can
expect tol reach. As for these prophecies of
woe, the bondition of affairs! s very bad, but
it is hardly practical to inquire whether it
is worse 'than ever before, and to exagger-
ate this condition or bemoan it as hopeless
is downriglit folly.
THE PME-GLACIAL JERSEYMAX:
It has always been considered lawful to
poke fvm at the State of New-Jersey, but
shebas acquired, by ■virtue of some recent
archteological discoveries w^ithin her bor-
ders, a new title to respect. As thsse dis-
coveries establish for her a higher antiquity
as an inhabited territory than any other
portion Of the Union can as yet claim, per-
haps people in general will speak of her
hereafter in a tone ot greater deference. Dr.
Charles G. Abbott, of Trenton, has con-
ferred this distinction upon his State, hav-
ing dug upi in the gravel-beds of the Dela-
ware Rivbr, near Trenton, some 'stone im-
plements y?hieh, by their shape and posi-
tion, seem to be the relics of a race much
ruder than the red Indians, and long an-
terior to them in its occupation of the soil.
Dr. Abbo'TT gives an account of his dis-
coveries in^the tenth annual report, just is-
sued, of jthe Peabody Museum of American
Archajology and Ethnology, at Cambridge,
and Mr. Ppi}sam, Curator of the Museum,
speaks of them as "probably the most im-
portant result attained in American Ar-
chfieology during the year."
The implenieuts made and used by man
in the period called the Stone Age, before
he knew I the I use of metals, are commonly
divided I into two classes, the paleo-
lithic arid the neolithic ; to the former
belong the rude hatchets, knives, spear-
heads, &(|. , \ made of flint and other
hard stonesi by chipping, while the
latter comprises the later weapons and
tools of polished stone, often beautiful in
form andjartistic in workmanship. Archaeol-
ogists regard paleolithic implements as the
oldest hunian relics shaped by the hands of
the savage primitive man at an immensely
remote epoch. The Delaware Valley relics
are pale< lithic. Having discovered in the
gravel-biids ; along the sides of the

In
geological stratum in which they Were
fbund. With a single exception, the articles
are made of argillite, a hard olay-slate, with-
out cleavage. The primitive savage who
made this kind of an implement selected a
pebble of the. propter size, and by a series of
blows with another and larger, pebble,
flaked off piece after piece until
he had given it a convex form,
with a ragged, cutting edge on two sides.
This answered for a hatchet, a knife, or for
scraping skins. If a spear-point 'was wanted,
a smaller pebble was selected, perhai>s a
fragment of a large one, and this was
chipped away to a point at one end. Dr.
Abbott describes his hatchets in his article
and illustrations are given of a few typical
specimens. They are much inferior in
workmanship to the flint hatchets from the
gravel-beds of the River Sonmie, in France,
a large collection of which is exhibited in
the American. Museum of Natural History
at Central Park, and the primitive man of
the Somme VaUey was the contemporary of
the hairy mammoth, the woolly rhinoceros,
and the reindeer of Europe; animals long
since extinct. The form of the hatchets
from the banks of the Delaware, then,
seems to refer thepi to a period at least as
remote as the relics of the man of the
Somme, whose age eminent scientists pu at
from 50,000 to 200,000 years.
Next as to their position. They were
found in the undisturbed gravel of the
river-terraces, at depths varying from five
to twenty feet from the surface, and in all
cases there was ample evidence to exclude
the supposition that the relics might have
settled into the gravel-bed from the sur-
face, or been mixed ■with its substance by
some disturbing force. The hatchets, then,
were evidently as old as the bed, or older.
The date of the deposition of the bed would
give the latest assignable date of their
manufacture. The character of the gravel
and of the contained boulders and pebbles,
and the position of the beds, point
unmistakably to a glacial origin. This
view of its formation is supported by Prof.
N. S. Shaler, who supplements Dr. Ab-
bott's article with the results of his inspec-
tion of the gravel-beds. It is the theory of
these gentlemen that the gravel containing
these relies was deposited from glacial ice-
rafts, probably upon the bottom of a shal-
low sea, the land halving been subsequently
elevated to its present height. It is not
likely that they w^ere brought from a great
distance, and many circumstances point
to the supposition that the savages who
made and u.sed the implements were
actual dwellers on the soil where
they have been found, being driven south-
ward by the glacier, and returning after it
had retired. It should be said that these
hatchets and scrapers from the gravel-beds
are totally distinct from the neolithic hatch-
ets, flint arrow-heads, and pipes found so
abundantly on the surface of the ground all
over the country, where they have been left
by the Indian tribes. In no iustanee was a
neolithic implement foimd in- the drift
gravels.
The implements exhumed by Dr. Abbott
are older than any relics of man previously
diiicovered in North America, except, per-,
haps, some not very well understood
results of explorations in California.
Their existence on the Atlantic coast
is full of suggestion to minds interested
in determining who were the first inhab-
itants of this continent and whence they
came. We may well be surprised that they
have so long lain . hidden, but this very fact
shows that tho failure to find implements of
a similar age in other parts of the country
is no longer good eviden<!e of their absence,
for certainly the soil of New-Jersoy has
been dug over and bored into as indus-
triously as that of any other State
in the Union. Should none be found,
however, we shall be compelled to attribute
the earliest colonization of our shores to
men who came from the east, across the
Atlantic ; though the old and favorite theorj'
of the north-west passage may still serve
for the red Indians, who were possibly much
later visitors, and not descendants of the
pre-glacial Jerseymen. We must go back,
too, thousands of years before' the earliest
Phasnieian mariner. But it is not credible
that a race incapable of making more ser-
viceable tools and weapons than those found
at Trenton could have built any sailing
craft sea-worthy enough to cross the broad
-■Atlantic. The north-eastern passage from
Scandinavia to Iceland, thence to Greenland,
and so to the mainland of North America,
then, suggests itself, and evidences of such
a migration are not lacking. ArehtBologists
may yet find it worth their while to explore
careftilly the Atlantic coast as' far north as
the northern extremity of Labrador.
A ROYAL WEAKNESS.
In a recent letter our London corre-
spondent tells us that no cheers greeted
Queen Victoria on her way through Lon-
don to attend the Prince of Wales'
garden party, given in her' honor, and at-
tributes this coldness to the prevalent
idea that she is stingy. Stinginess is a
rare failing among British sovereigns. We
must go back to the Tndors to find the
strongest instance of it, in the person of
Henry VH., who squeezed his subjects out-
rageously by his attorneys, Empson and
DtJDLET, who were both decapitated
to appease the people when Henry's
son was squandering the hoards which
they had accumulated for him. The only
other instance is found in Hesry's grand-
daughter Elizabeth, who, although lavish
in the adornment of her person, was, on the
whole, exceedingly apd most unpleasantly
economical. It was her Majesty's habit to
spend half her time in staying with her sub-
jects— you can scarcely find an old house in
England where she was not a guest — and if
the host was obnoxious to her she extend-
ed the visit to weeks. How much her vis-
itations were appreciated we may judge by
an extract from the diary of an Oxfordshire
Squire : " The Queen is gone, thank God,
carrying off my best silver cup." As to the
Stuarts, James L, Charles t, and Chari.bs
H. were always out at elbows, and, al-
though none of the Geobqes were, with the
exception of the fourth, spendthrifts, the
charge of parsimoniousness was not brought
against them, or against William IV.
There are many among Queen Victoria's
best friends who have noticed with regret a
tendency in this direction. In the lifetime
of the Prince Coijsort it existed, but was
less apparent. But even then ladies of the
court would whisper their regrets that her
Majesty should give such sadly mean
presents, espeoiaQy to other royalties, and
complain of an economy -'so ri^d that
they were not even allowed, to have
chicken at luncheon. The old Latin proverb
is true that the love of gold grows as the
gold grows, and Queens are not exempt from
the weakness. Queen Victorl^ must to-
day be almost the richest woman in the
■world. What is called her "civil list"
amounts to £385,000 a year. Of this it
was arranged at the beginning' of her
reign that, with the exception of
£96,000 a year, all was to be divided be-
tween the three great departments of her
household. Of the rest, £60,000 a year
was for her " privy purse," and the remain-
ing £36,000 for " contingeneiesT'l Besides
this the Queen has over £40,000 a year for
her own private expenditure from her
Duchy of Lancaster, the revenue of which
has increased £16,000 a y4^ since 1865,
and keeps on increasing. She has, more-
over, still another very considerable source
of income, Just a quarter of a century
ago there died a miserly old man,
one James Neild, who, with tho
exception of a few , legacies, left
all that he had " to her most gracious
Majesty, Queen Victorla, begging her Majes-
ty's most gracious accep^nce of the same
for her sole use and benefit and that of her
heirs." This bequest ■was np'vard of
£2,500,000. So that, supposing the
Queen had spent every penny of her official
income, and that, too, derived from her
Duchy of Lancaster, but saved only her
income from Mr. Neilds' fort-one, she would
still have had " a pretty penny" to bequeath.
But, as a matter of fact, she could
easily have saved, and probably has
saved, at least £100,000 a year be-
sides since the Prince Consort's death.
Her stri<ft seclusion, of course, has
had the effect of reducing expenses im-
mensely. There is nothing for the horses
in her stables to do, and they accordingly
have been got rid of, and when more than
the few kept are required, horses are
"jobbed "for the occasion; a circumstance
which explained the miserable appearance,
strongly commented on at the tim^ of the
animals attached to the royal carriages
when the Princess of Wales entered Lon-
don. In other departments a similar cutting
do'wn of expenses has doubtless taken place.
But all this would have been condoned by
the Londoners had a liberal expenditure
been shown in other directions — ^but it has
not been shown. The smallness of her
Majesty's donations excited ridicule, more
especially when compared with those of the
late Queen Dowager, who had £100,U00 a
year. Thus, when the great floods did such
frightful damage last Winter, she gave biit
$500, and lately, sent only $250 to Mr.
GojfPTON", the eminent! comedian, who has
I .*■
fallen in his old age into sickness ana- pov-
erty. It is announced that she has given | a
pension to De Foe's great gtandchildren,
but Ehe grant did not come out of her
pocket, nor did the £50 a year to Mr. Ed-
wards, the Scotch naturalist. These sums,
though given in her naiie, are provided for
by an annual grant froti Parliament.
The Queen's parsimoniousness probably
arises from the san.e cause as thjat
of most other people— familiarity with
money difficulties in ea.rly days; It is true
that she herself had n^ver actuallj- experi-
enced them, but her mother had felt them
bitterly ; indeed, it has been said, and, we
believe, with perfect truth, that the very
money which enabled her to return to
England to give birth to the Queen was
provided by humble friends. The Duke of
Kent died in a cottage at Sidmouth, in
Devonshirer^a place wlieh would then have
rented at about $-100 a year — where he had
gone to live on the pittAnce "which remained
to him after paying away the rest of his in-
come to creditors, and pne of his daughter s
very first acts was to pay her fathe/s debts.
Early impressions are! lasting. What she
heard from her mother of pecuniary straits
no doubt sank indelibly into the daughter's
memor)", and hence the present truth. It is
a pity that so fine a character should be
3narred by a virtue carried into a fault, but
in the end no great harm will be done.
When a sycophant, wishing to curry favor
with Bolinqbeoke, alluded to Marlbor-
ough's avarice. Sir John rejoined, "In-
deed, Sir, I had forgotten that the Duke
of Marlborough "was so great a man that
his fame eclipses his weaknesses." So it
will be in time to c6me "with Queen Vic-
toria. The British public of thirty years
hence will be disposed ! to praise rather than
to blame a penuriousness which renders tihe
royal family independemt of the tax-payer.

OBITUARY. /
•^
DR. ABRAM aA.GER.
Dr. Sager, of the University of Michigan,
whose death on the 6th insll. -was announced by tele-
graph, was bom at Bethlehem, Albany County, X.
Y., Dec- 22. 1810. His father was a farmer of re-
mote German ancestry, who had settled in this State
at an early day. The subject of this sketch was eda*
cated at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at
Troy, where he graduated in 1B31. Here he was
under the instruction of Profs. Torrey and Eaton, in
botany and zoology, and acquired a taste for these
studies, Which were a specialty with him all his
life, and in which he gained a considers-
ble reputation. Subsequent to the period men.
tioned above, he pursued his studies in Albany and
New-Haven, Conn., under the instruction jind super-
vision of the late Profs, Harsh and Ives, of New-
Haven. He attended lectures at the .Albany Med-
ical School, and at Castletou, 'Vt., aud graduated at
the latter institution in April, 1S35. Removing
"West he settled first at E(j5Jtroit, from thence went
for a few years to Jackson, »nd finally to Ann Arbor,
where he remained for over 30 years- In 1837 he
was appointed chief in charge of the Botanical and
Zoological Departments of the Michigan Geological
Survey, which was organized under Prof. Houghton-
By November of that year he had made a
considerable collection of specimens in zool-
ogy, which laid the ! foandation of the
present zoological collection in the museum of
the university. He made valuable cullections
also in botany. The Sager herbarium, now in the
University Musenin contains 1,'JOO species and
1*2,000 specimens. These !were collected partly in
the Western Stales, but chieHy in New-England.
There U also a valuable collection in the medical
museum prepared by Dr. Sager. illustrating compara-
tive ctaniolog\*, neurolo^, ' and embryology "of the
vertebrate. I'his work m tonnection with the geo-
logical survey closed in 1840. From 184-5 to 1S55
Dr. Sager was Professor of j Botany and Zoology in
Michigan University, bnt> did little in this con-
nection, as the university was not prepared
to receive full work. In 1843 be was ap-
pointed to the Chidr of the Theory
and Practice of Medicine, and in 1850
to that of Obstetrics and Diseases of 'Women and
Children in the medical department of the university.
For several years he was Dean of the Medical Faculty,
and held that position even after he had ceased active
duties in the work of instmction. His falling health
caused him to resi^ his position, and he spent a
Summer afterward in PIond.% returning much im-
proved in health. Dr. Sager was .a member of the
American Association for the Advancement of
Science, of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Phila-
delplLia, and the Academy of Science of Chicago ; of
the American Mediul Association ; of the
New- York State Medical Societv, and
the Obstetrical Society of Philalielphia. He'

In Ros-s' Hole. Gren. Gibbon is following them
rapidly. Other advices say that the Indians
were still at Doolittle, IG miles above Corvallis,
and that Gibbon expected to strike them on the

Fort Hall Indian Aoesct, Idaho. Aug. 8. —
A Bannock Indian shot two teamsters at this
agency this morning, one seriously, but neither
mortally. The shooting occurred under the ex-
.citement caused by a rumor that hostile bands
were approaching the agency. The shooi-
ng was an individual act. and is con-
demned by all the Indians at the
agency. Agent Danielson immedialelv called
together the head Indians in council wlio con-
demned the act. and sent men in pursuit of the
Indian, who tied. They have assured the agent
that he shall be caught and brought back, and
that they will guard agaiust any recurreuce of
the kind. Everjthing i.-t quiet and peaceable
now.
CHicAno. 111.. Aug. 8. — Official information
has just been received at niiiitarv head-quarters
confirming the rumor received here a tew days
since regarding a fight between Indians and
United States troops in Texas. It is ascer-
tained that a disastrous encounter was
had on the Staked Plains, in which
there were two otScers and 20
enlisted soldiers killed. The remnant of the
party continued its march after having suffered
this loss, and has since reached Fort Condir,
with an additional loss of five private's and 40
, Iiorses and mules. Tlie unfortunate command
•wa3 without water for S»G hours, and the suffer-
ing they endured in consequence was terrible.
Further particulars concerning the disaster are
wanting, the dispatch being very brief. It is
thought full details will be received in the
course of a few days, when the names of the
killed and "wounded will be learned.
Washington, Aug. 8. — The Secretary of
3tate has forvvanled to the Secretary- of the In-
terior a letter dated the 24th ult., from James
W. Taylor, Unitetl States Consul at Winnipeg,
British North America, giving some account
of the hostUe Sioux under Silting Bull
wno recently took refuge in the British
possessions. Mr. Taylor says they are at
present near Wood Mountain, and that he esti-
mates their number at 5,0(30 souls, 1,000 of
whom are warriors. Other parties who have
seen them, he says, estimate the total number
of souls at y.OoO, and of warriors at l,SO0.
He furthermore sa3-s the Indians make
no secret of their intention to renew
the campaign in the Yellowstone Valley, and
seem determined to get ammunition, even re-
sorting to threats to obtain it. On the 23d of
June, near Sitting Bull's encampment, a war
party of 2 1 Sioux robbed four traders of three
Kegs of powder and one basr of bullets. Be-
sides Sitting Bull's band, there is an equal num-
ber of Sioux refugees from the Minnesota mas-
sacre of 1862-3, over whoin Sitting Bull seems
to exercise much influence.
TB£ ELLIS lilPEACHMENT TRIAL.
PBOCEEDING^ OP THE SENATE — TESTIMONY
OP ME. ELLIS CONTINUED — THE CBOSS-
EXAMIXaTION".
SAiiATOGA. N. Y., A\ig, 8.— At the open-
ing of the sej^si'^n to-day Ellis, «aid in his judg-
ment the closing of the TiiJrJ-A venue Savings
Batik at the time he cozL-^ulred Mr. Cisco, John
A. Dix, and others, after the failure of Duncan,
Sherman^ Co., would have been very disastrous
to the City of New-York.
Cross-examined — The mischief ■would have
been a run on other banks and moneyed insti-
tutions. It was about Au^, 1, 1875, when he
consulted the financiers ; there was more or
less run in the Fall of 1875, closing six banks
In' which there were de iciencies, and putting
them into the hands of Receivers ; the de-
positors cannot get their money back ; he
had some faith that the Trustees would
help some banks; it hurts a bank
to stop payment, and depositors would
EUffer ; when they resume and cannot pay at
once depositors are certain to suffer ; the Third-
Avenue Bank's real estate realized only 20 per
cent, on its cost ; the banking-house was sold
for 30 per cent, on its cost : it was afterward
Bold for more privately ; foresaw this result,
but was forced to put it in the hands of a Re-
ceiver ; all the depositors in the banks named
Btiffered ; if the depositors of the Bond-Street
Bank had not lost confidence and the bank had
kept on until real estate became better, they
would not have lost so much ; in the case of the
German and Security Banks it would have
betn better ' for the depositors if Re-
ceivers had not been appointed ; felt bound to
take into consideration the interests of all de-
positors ; he mieht find a bank with a deficiency
of as.)ets and not hand it over to the jVttomey-
General ; again, he might deem it advisable to
do so at once : he was influenced by the advice
of flninciers and formed opinions of his own;
he WhS preparing a communication to the At^
tomey-Ueneral about the Third-Avenue Bank
when the committee called to see him ; the
recommendation to the Attorney -General was
based on all the facts in his possession ; when,
in 1875, the report of the Third-Avenue Bank
came to the department, be had a conversation
with Deputy Lamb ; agreed that closing that
bank would' close a number of smaller banks ;
favored the law of 1875, which allowed
smaller banks to consolidate with larger
and stronger ones ; some financiers hfe consulted
agreed with him. and others did not Vhe visited
the Trades' Savings Bank several times in re-
gard to its report of November, 1875, and called
the attention of the Secretarr to the mortgages
and deficiencies, and told him ^he deficiency
must be made up : the Secretary said the Trus-
tees proposed paying in the money ; Raid wrote
that the money had not been paid, and the
books were in such a condition that he could not
find out about the bank; he saw no reason for
closing the hank until he gave the final orders ;
he went to the People's Savings Bank with Reid
In the Fall of 1874, and Reid examined it, but
be did not know he made a written report until it
was produced on the trial ; from conversation with
the oflScers, formed an idea that the reports
made bv the bank were correct ; was aware in
1874 that the charter of the Loaners' Bank re-
qtiired them to report to the department ; the
President claimed that his bank had made a state-
ment every year ; never saw any reports ; never
sent them "bianks to fill up ; when he- went into
office he tried to inform himself about all the
laws relating to banks ; also examined reports
anu consulted clerks ; found 105 savings banks,
with deposits of $350,000,000 ; the expenses
allowed by the Legislature for his department
were about $170,000.
Direct examination : Mr. Ellis said after the
report about the bogus checks in the Abingdon-
Square Bank, July 19, 1876, he left the papers
on the table with Deputy Lamb and: went out of
town on a vacation ; can not remeibtjer giving
Lamb any directions regarding it.
\ To Senator Gerard — Refused to receive per-
sonal security from the Trustees df the German
Savings Bank of Morrisania because he did not
consider It expedient : the personal securities of
tho Third-Avenue Bank were received by his
predecessor ; the law of 1875 made a change
regarding such securities ; did not analyze the
reports of banks to see whether items of accrued
Interest were of interest running for the cur-
tent year or dead interest oveiidue : had not
wound up anv banks before September, 1875 ;
had no experience.
To Senator McCarthy— Never made a general
order to the clerks of the department to report
all questionable items in statements of banks.
To Senator Starbuok— Do not regard banks
which report a deficiency of assets as safe to
continue Duainess and receive deposits as banks
whfch have a full amount of assets ; the reports
dated Jan. 1, 1875. come in from Jan. 15 to
Mzly in Febnury ; tben tbey ■» taken by the
clerks and tabulated for the reports of the de-
partment : Itnew the condition of the Third-
Avenue Bank by the report of Reid.
To Senator Bradley— Went two or three times
to New-York after the Legislature of 1875 ad-
journed to try and get the small banks to merge
and turn over their assets to a larger bank ;
nothing was done, however.
To Senator St. John — Pound some large
banks apparently willing to take the assets of
smaller banks and assume their responsibilities.
To Senator Prince — If a large bank had taken
and held the securities until better times they
might have paid the depositors of the small
banks in fuU.
To Senator Prince — The delay from March in
acting on the Third-Avenue Bank was caused
by waiting for the paasage of a general law ;
if the times had grown better in 1874 and 1 875
many banks could have been saved ; many
private individuals lost by real estate in those
years.
To Senator St John — In the report of Janua-
ry, 1875, the real estate in Tarry town was in-
creased to the value of $30,000.
To Senator Kennaday — Although he never
saw the papers shown by Smith, his . clerk, yet
he could not say that he had never bad a con-
versation with Smith about the Third-Avenue
Bank ; is positive that he never saw or heard of
the statements until Smith produced them for
the trial.
To Mr. Chapman, his own counsel — From
Reid's letter calling for a report of the Third-
Avenue Bank, Jan. 1, 1875. it was resolved to
close up that bank ; it was only imdecided as to
the best time. *
To Mr. McGuire — Has no remembrance of
Smith's coming into his private ofiice and ex-
plaining the statements as Smith testified.
To Senator Bixby — He did not regard the
Third-Avenue Savings Bank as safe for depos-
itors ; it did not create much excitement when
it closed in July ; the public had got tised to
failures.
To Mr. McGuire — When Senator St. John was
Superintendent of the Bank Department, mort-
gages of broken banks sometimes sold for 20
cents on the dollar.
To Senator Gerard — He considered Reid an
expert, and took his reports as con'ect.
■To Senator Woodin — If banks used depositors'
money illegally, he could only order them to
discontinue, or hand the bank ever to the Attor-
ney-General for violation of its charter.
To Mr. McGuire — ^Abstracts of the reports of
banks, showing their assets, are made out for
the Legislature every year ; when any question
of doubt as to the construction of the law arises
it always goes to the Attorney-General for ad-
vice ; tie thought if the law reducing the inter-
est to be paid by banks from 6 to 5 per cent,
had been passed earlier some of these banks
could have gone on.

REPUBLIC.
Kingston, JamEica. Aug. 1. — The weather
in the vicinitj- of this island has been giving no
little anxiety to mariner.-;, and old West India
residents are apprehensive of hurricanes and
earthquakes as likely to follow the unusual heat,
which fias been much more oppressive this year
than ffer many years back. The Lieutenant-
Governor, Mr. Rushworth, lost two of bis
family — a voung man just from Oxford, and hLs
sister, in the prime of life — after a few hours'
illness brought about by riding through the
mountains in the rain and remaii<!ng in their
damp clothing, despite the remonstrances of
much older residents, who knew the danger of
such foolhardineSH.
A commission is sitting, by appointment of
the LieutenantrGovernor, to inquire into juve-
nile vagrancy on this island. The evidence dis-
closes that the rising generation is growing up
without education or training of any kind ; that
there are no mechanics or handicraftsmeu ; and
the recommendations of those examined before
the Commissioners leail in the direction of com-
pulsory education, and a compulsory apprentice-
ship to trade.*, &c. Some horrible disclosures
have been made as to the treatment of boys in
the Government Reformatory. Some were so
ill fed — only, getting broad on Sunday and one
salt herriuQto eight youths — that, according to
the testimony of Dr. Campbell, the medical
officer, whenever they got liberty they riLshed to
the pigs* troughs and' ravenously ate the putrid
offal and food that had been thrown
there for swine. The Superintendent was
a "Plymouth Brother" in religious belief.
The old oflicers of the institution (appointed
under his predeces.sor) had all been discharged,
and-his own and his wife's relations appointed
thereto, one being brought all the way from
New-Zealand to fill the ofSce of school -master.
Sir Anthony and Lady Musgrave (who is a
daughter of Cyrus W. Field, and now on a visit
with David Dudley Field, of New-York) will
leave in the steamer Atlas on the 1 7th of
August for Jamaica, where Sir Anthony has
been appointed Governor.
Another revolution has occurred in HaytL
The insurgents are in force about 10 milts from
Port-au-Prince. A schooner laden with arms
and ammunition for them was known to be in
the vicinity, and a Haytien steamer of war had
been sent to look after hor. The City of Port-
au-Prince is declared in a state of siege. A
large portion of the city was fired, and the con-
flagration continued for two days, and had not
been extinguished when the mail steamer left.
President Canal was unpopular with the native
element from his kno\^1l relations of cordiality
with fore'srn merchants and foreigners in gen-
eral. He ■»' •nu'^iected on that account. He is
a good i<r, but however strijng 'the
foreign element may be, it cannot protect
him from the designs of those who seek to gain
the object of their ambition by assassination.
Gen. Salomon, a black man, formerly Miuister to
England under the imperial mle of Solouque.
is the present aspirant to oflice, and he says
when he gets into power the colored man and
the white man may both look out, as the black
Republic will make the streets of Port-au-
Prince rivers of the blood of both of them. The
southern side of the island is equally disaffected,
and at Jacmel the newspapers are openly at
variance with the administration. Numerous
arrests have been made by tho Government,
chiefly among persons suspected of being
secretly engaged in revolutionary plots.
■Washington, Aug. 8. — The Department of'
State has received from the United States 3Iin-
ister to Hayti a dispatch relative to religious
toleration there, which, it would seem, has "been
gradually, becoming more and more deeply
rooted in its institutions during the past few
years. Although by the declaration of inde-
pendence in 1804 Romanism was made the
religion of the State, the Constitution of 1805
incorporated features of religious toleration and
freedom which have been maintained in all subse-
quent revisions and changes of that instrument,
and with very few exceptions the Haytien
Government and people have uniformly abted
in good faith toward the different Prote.ntant
denominations. Protestantism in Hayti, which
Jias been augmented by emigration of colored
people from the United States, maybe said to
have been a pood deal fostered by the interest*
which the clergy of our own country have
taken in it ; but what more especially has
tended to its influence and growth is the effort
which has been made by certain clergymen of
the United States settling in that country to
raise up a native clergy. Those who feel an in-
terest in the spread of freedom of religious
thought and feeling will be glad to know that
the door stands wide open in Hayti for every
kind of Christian missionary work.

CKAWAKNA IRON AND COAL COMPANT
AND THEIR EMPLOTES.
ScRANTON, Penn., Aug. 7, 1877.
To the E'^itor of the K>^c- York Times :
My ittention has been called to the letter
of your ** Special Correspondent" from this city,
published in your paper of 4th inst., and I beg
the pri,vile;5e of contradicting so much of it as
refers io the stores of the Lackawanna Iron and
Coal (Tompany. The statements are untrue
in every particular. The workmen are not
compelled to make their purchases at these
stores, and nover have been. Their custom is
solicited like that of others, and hoped for only
when they are sat^fled with current prices, and
can busy as cheap as elsewhere. By reasoni of
our large purchases for c:ish, the company is
able to, and does, offer their goods as low as
and in many iustuncoi lower than other
dealers in the city. Our ample city
trade outsido the workmen abundant-
ly proves the truth of this assertion,
which your correspondent or any one el.se can
verify, if tht*y will take thf trouble. Tlie men
are paid every mouth, and no necessity arises
for rei^jrtiug t{i the " funeral ilodge'*to which
your fiorrespondeut refers. The workman, to
ol>taiu. money, needs only to have it due him.
Your correspondent fails to notice this fai-t.
viz., that in nun'.l>«;rh*ss cases the company
have udvancwl family supplicate their workmen
when disabled by accideui or sickness, or other-
t-rwitio prevente<l from , earclnfc their wujjes.
The ktateiuent tiiat an " undertaker lius
lati-ly. been xitided to the stores" is simply
ridiculous, and your corresjiondenl shows
extraoriliuar}* gullibility if he gives it cre-
dence. It i.-* true the company have in
many instances gratuitously furnished coffins
and undertaker's attendance for tho.se in their
employ who have lost their live.s by accijeut.
Thej company's orders cannot Iw discounted,
as your correspondent asserts, because they do
not giVe any. Neither are the monthly credit
tickets issued to the workmen transferable.
Sometimes they give their o«-n orders on tho
the companv. If the amount is due they arc
paid at their face value, and no doctor bills are
paid uule&s so ordered by the workmen thcm-
selveat
J H. A. Kingsbury,
Storekeeper for the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
, Company.
yote, — The statements alluded to in the cor-
respondence above were reported as they were
by mill men and miners who said they
employed by the Lackawanna Coal and
Company. At tho time they ma<Ie the
they explained thai they
not directly compelled to pur-
of the. company, but that .the
Supeijintendent could and would make it un-
comfortable, if not impossible, for them to pur-
chase elsewhere, by holding back cash when
paym<>hts were due to them. Mr. Scranton, tho
Superintendent, gave the correspondent of The
TiitEi^ to understand that the men were expected
to trade with the store, and the statement
that the company were indebted to the men was
supported ■ by the books, which bore tliat evi-
dencej plainly on tlieir face. As to the asser-
tion that KO"ils are sold more cheaply
in tile store than elsewhere, it is not
sustaimed by the people of Scranton, who
have bien constrained to use the articles
in (njpstion. The men may be paid ev«ry
month, but they are uot paid in full, and they
say lljat they patronize the store in order to
keep their situations and get the money they
have already earned, or such equivalents as the
store jmay furnish. The statement concerning
the lemployinent of . undertakers as a
part I of the store plan needs no con-
firmation, as it is admitted by the
company in the storekeepers letter, and the
compmint was published as a part of the miners'
grievance, and not as a direct charge. The
numlier of reports about the discounting of
workmen's oniers on the company which were
heard! by The Times* correspondent in Scranton
were so numerous that a column could be tilled
with them ; and it was positively asserted by

UNFOUNDED l^UMORS OF A STRIKE.
THE ENGINEERS
SAID TO
Hivfe
ON ALL THE RAILROADS
AGREED* TO STRIKE TO-
BECATED.
Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 8. — The conven-
tion of iron and steel workers to-day unanimous-
ly adopted resolutions setting forth that they
firmlv believe the demand made by the railroad
employes for the restoration of the late 10 per
cent. Irednction and the modification of the ex-
isting tyrannical rules and orders was just and
proper, having full faith that the railroad
companies, by proper management, are fully able
and of right should accede to the same ; that
while they approve of the demand as just, and
belief e in the ability of the companies to grant
the request, they emphatically denounce any
and every act tending to violation of law and
the non-preservation of peace and order of the
country, knowing full well that every violation
of the law and cQsturbance of the peace tends
only] to injure the cause of those engaged
ther^n ; that the arbitrary power assumed by
corp<^rations — railroads especially — and exercised
in crushing labor to the earth, demands at the
hands of all honest citizens serious and careful
reflection, to the end that a way ma^ be opened
to strip them of some of the unlimited powers
they Ipossess, and that labor may thereby be bet-
ter rewarded, and the country greatly benefited ;
th^t in every disagreement between employer
and employe, they believe in the policy of arbi-
tration. Numerous memorials were presented
by members which were referred to an appro-
priate committee.
ANOTHER STRIKE IN CHICAGO,
Special DtMpatek to tti* Nw-Tork TUut.
Chicago, HL^ Aug. S.^Ever since the riot
thec^ have been held meetings of Bohemians,
lumber shovera^ and communists in the south-
westj division of the city, to arrange for a syste-
matic strike for an increase of pay and a de-
crease of work. A very complete- organization
of Itunber shovers has been perfected. Badges
and passwords have been agreed upon, and at a
meeuatf held last Monday it was. decided to
DAT— PROBABLE CAUSES OP THE RUMOR
— ^KO STRIKE INTENDED OB THOUGHT OP.
Bumors were eurrent in some quarters of the
City yesterday thati t)0-day the engineers on the rail-
roads all over the i cotmtry would atop work. The
strike, it was said, 'hiid been determined npon by the
Brotherhood of IiooomotiTe Engineers in general
meeting last May, wh^en the 10 per cent, reduction
of pay was made by the railroad companies. It was
farther said that tkei recent strike, which began on
the Baltimore and {Ohio Road so suddenly, and
spread with sQcti alarming rapidity, was
a premature : nt^vement, begun by the
firemen ; while the real strike, that of
eneineers, firemen, hrakemen, and tr^n hands gen-
erally, all over the country, was to be made to-
day. Inquiry waJ saade by The Times reporters
concerning these ram'ors, and from such it is clear
that whatever the LocomotiTe Brotherhood may
have intended should ^e done when they met last
May, the events of the past few weeks have entirely
frustrated any plans for a general strike in August,
supposing such were made. It does not seem abso-
lutely certain that they were, though it U certain
the idea of a general jstrlke was entertained, and en-*
gineers not members of the Brotherhood were ap-
proached on the subject. There appears to hare been
an uneasy feeling among all the men up to the time
when the firemen's strike was made ; since then the
engineers have been quiet, and It was possibly the
recollection of whatj had been intended In August
which started the : 'umors yesterdar-
In pnrtQit of inf )rmation upon the subject a Times
reporter called up on an engineer engaged on one of
the New- Jersey T^aas.j formerly a -member of the
Brotherhood, and ihongh not now in the orpsnita-
tion, qnlte famiUur: with its movements. To the
question whether he 'had heard of any strike In-
tended, he said he had not, that the storv was news
to him, and he did not believe it. it any such
movement had b^ii prepared for he woald be cer-
tain to know it, fti , in common with all the euirineers
not members of the Brotherhood, he would have
been approached 1 3 know how he would stand in the
matter. There was,; in fact, no talk of strike any-
where now ; they had seen what it amoimted to,
and had enough ol the btisiness. The boys were not
in a strikinc humt r these times. They could not be
held topether if a»y one did w;int to strike. He
could name -O men iin the roundlumse (Jersey City)
who could uot be made to strike anyhow. It is sirfe
to say tliat there ifSB no such tWne intended :Hliere
was no talk thnt way that he haa heard anywhere ;
.and for all he ki ew the men were quiet and ron-.
tented. Besides, K-hat would be the pood of strikine.*!
when the roads n&y, " Very well, we'll dose up until
yon want to come in again." The Lehigh Valley did
that — Inst shut uv tho whole road, and waited. The
reporter mention* d that the brotherhood held a meet-
lug on Friday U sIl in Jersey City. The engineer
said they elected a ^new chief for the dlvieion ; that
was air he bad beard about what was done.
Another report- r Irisited the engineers of the New-
Jersey Central, at I'olnmunipaw. who when questioned
in re;;ard to the re moreil general strike, seemed rather
amused at the Inquiry, and laujifhlngly asked,

"Yineland is a first-rate place to see the
Btm," said a visitor to this place some years
ago. in dwelling npon its advantages, and surely
the crowds of holiday-makers here to-day most
have agreed with him. From mom to eve Its
broad disk was visible in all Its glory, and
it blazed down upon this level stretch of garden
country with merciless fervor. It »hone upon a gay
and enjoyable scene, nevertheless. The day was the
sixteenth anniversary of the foundation of the settle-
ment, and with almost one accord the shop-keepers
shut up their places of business, hung out their
flags, and joined in the celebration of the event
which was so full of importfmce to some
1 0, 000 people. Landis-avenue, . the principal
street, was unusually full of wagons and carriages, '
flags were btmg out from many shops and houses,
the one daily paper suspended publication, and from
10 o'clock in the morning until nearly midnight all
went merry as a marriage>belL
The growth of this sandy town has been something
marvelous. The tract on which it is btiilt, comprising
about 32,000 acres, was bought by Mr. Charles K.
Landis, and in 1801 he began to carry out his
plan of making a colony which should be
an improvement upon other towns in Kew-
Jersey, or, in fact, in any other State In the
TTniOn. He stipulated in the beginning that
all property purchased should be improved ; that
no land should be sold to speculators ; that houses
should be built so that space would be left before
each, that the whole might and should be beautified
with snade trees and shrubbery ; fences were to be
done away with and hedges substituted ;
the liquor question was always to be controlled
by the vote of the people ; refuse waa
to be utilized, and the digging of cesspools below
the level of wells prohibited ; froH-cultnre was to be
encouraged, and every facility o^ered to the ctil-
tivation of arts, science, and manufacttires. This, in
its particulars, was a comprehensive plan, and It
has so far been carried out that Vineland
lias been converted from a desert waste to
a blooming and profitable garden. It has broad
streets and plenty of them, the roads built pt hard
porous gravel, that drains away the water qtiickly
and yet does not create so much dust as an ordinary
earth road. In some places the streets
are fully 100 f et from lot to lot,
and all have margins of thrifty shade trees,
some of wluch are arranged in double rows along the
inner and outer edges of the sidewalks. A tree can
not easily be grown in a day, but good cultivation
in a few years will bring maples to a size that makes
them very serviceable in shading roads. Thousands
of maples, tulips, and catalpas are now
growing along the streets of Vineland,
and already In many nlaces they form a delightful
shelter from the sun. In a few years they will be
one of the most attractive features of the phtce. Tiie
success which has attended the attempt to prevent
the sale of liquors — and the term here in-
cludes ale and beer — has been olmotit phe-
nomenal. There is not a bar in the town, and the
man who thirsts for whisky, unless he keeps hi.'^ own
bottle, must get it on a physician's prescription and
give a receipt for the article when it' i.s
provided by tlie druggist. Verv naturally,
there is no ponr-house and no toUce force.
the ex^iense for tills 5er\'ico h»%'ing been but $l(iO
for a whole year. Tiiia. for a towu of l.SOt) dwell-
ings and nearly 11,000 population, is certainly legiti-
mate matter for hoa.'iting. The tract of hmd on
which the town is built is crossed in different dirt-c-
lions by 49 thnrougli fares, having an agijrt-^ate
Itngth of 178 miles. 'On the tract are 17 miles of
raifi-oad and 6 raUroad stations. Tlie nomher of
farms, orchards, and vineyards under cultiva-
tion iti estimated at 2.2i30. There are In the seitk-
nient iiO public s<.*hooU, 3 private and 1 high
ech(»ol, 7 shoe manufactories, 2 button factories. 1
machine shop, 1 glove factory, 1 wallet fai^torj'. 3
sash and blind fiictories. and several manufactorioH
of <;lothlng and straw goods. There are 15 ort'anlzed
churches. 3 weekly papers, 1 dally and 2 monthly
papers. (» post oiUces. 1 bank and 3 hotels ; also dif-
lertnt beneficial societies, and strong lodges of
Masons and Odd-feJlowK. There has l>een an in-
crease of 300 new houses in the city plot the past
five years, and many of them the tineiit impnne-
mentH in the place, including the High School, the
Baker Honse, and the Gas Works.
It was TO show off the results of H> years' work on
Mr. Landis' plan that the celebration waK hold to-
day. A number of guest.s had been invited to par-
ticipate,- and at 10 o'cjock tho visitors were
received at tho depot on their arrival
by a committee of the leading citi*en.s.
Among the visitors were Col. Forney, of the Phil.v
delnhia /Vpjix, and Col. Pitzcerald. of the JMilladel-
phia Itrm, i)oth of whom were to speak In the after-
noon. Ver>' opportunely tlie mcmlwrs of Company
K, of the Sixth Ilegiuient, juat relca*;©d from Rer%-ice
against what Vinelanders call the *' Com-
mune," arrived by the 10 o'clock train,
and under Capt. George A. Cheever, the 50 men
marched up I^ndis-avenue to the sound of fife and
drum, showing unmistakable signs, in shaggy beards
and dusty clothing, that they had been roughing it In
real seiTice. The visitingparty weredriven to a number
of iuteresrting places. Tlie Droad, grass-grown road
edges, the thriity shade trees, the great vuriety and
luxuriance of the hedge rows, and the tastefulncMs
exhibited in the adornment of grounds, elicited re-
peated exclamations of pleasure from all. In
many of the borders fruit trees were seen
loaded with ripening {anple.s. The blackberry
crop had been gathered, and was larger and more
profitable than ever before. TJie grape crop prpmisep
to be verj' abundant, and if it does not prove to be
profitable in the market in one shape,
Vineland is seriously thirikiiig of malctug
it pay In another, of which more nnou.
At the house of Prof. Wilson, well-known as
the compiler of a series of school reading
books, a large and well confitructed hot-house was
inspected. It was filled with s<tme of the fijios't
grapea ever grown under glass. They are principally
tlamburgs and MuMcats. Heeinning early in the
season with lettuce. Ij^SOO worth was grown in these
houses, enough to jiay the running expensea of tlie
houses for the balance of the year. Then attention
was directed to grapes, with such success as to
tempt one to go forthwith into the busi-
ness of raising grapes under glass. Many
of the cluster* hanging on the vinea
yesterday wore four pounds* in weight, and the aver-
age will be about two pounds per cluster. Already
700 pounds have l>ecn sold, at from 50 to 60 cents,
and the total rield will not befRrfrom2.000poimd8.
The sam'o cultivator sent laree quantities of eariv
Spring strawlierriest<^hoKew-Yorkmaj:ket,f or which
ho received 7 cents a quart. Prom Prof. Wilson's
place the party passed to that of Mr. S. R. Fowler,
formerly a New- York merchant, and then were driven
to the cellar of the Vineland "Wine Com-
pany, on the opj>o.site side of the town.
Here they were shown through the vaults
built early last Summer, in which are stocked about
1,600 gaUons of new wine made by Mr. Alexander
W. Pearson, the President of the 'company. The
wine is stiUI crude, and oromises to be an excellent
claret. Strange to say, the Mnelanders look nix>n the
manufacture of wine from their grapes, (with
the prospect of realizing 6 cents a
pound, when they could not otherwise
get more than 3 cents) with entire freedom from
fear of the charge of inconsistency. Still more
amusingly, they declare that they will see to it that uo
burs are allowed for its sale in the town. RetuniiAg
to the town the party were received at the Baker
House by the proprietor, Mr. I>. P.
Peters. formerly of New- York, and were
entertained at an " eicellout dinner. At
2 o'clock Cosmox>oUtan 'Hall, on Plum-street, was
crowded to snCfncation .with an audience composed
of about equal ntmibers of ladies and gentlemen.
Prof. Wilson presided over the body, and upon the
platform witli him were Col. Forney, Col. Fitzgerald,
Mr, Charles K. Landis, Capt. C. C. Flint. Hon. W.
A. Hotise, Mr. Joseph Mason, Mr. S. B, Fowler,
Dr. Brewer, and others^ After muxic by the Vine-
land :^nd and an Invocation by Kev, Thomas W.
Conway, of the Baptist church. Prof. Wilson' Intro-
duced CoL Forney, who delivered an interesting ad-
dress. After alluding to the difficulties wliieh had
been overcome by Mr. Landis in working out his
plan for establishing a model town, (and compli-
menting him for his energy and determination,
he referred to the disturbances which have taken
place between capital and' labor. He deemed the
settlement of the dispute less dlfflcult than the
establishment of an English-speaking Republic, or
the breaking down of Calhoun s theory of secession.
He had no remedy to offer, but he offered two sug-
gestions. One was that we should do more work
ourselves. The other Is best stated as Mr. Forney
stated it himself :
" Now, let me show yon how much money we are pay- -
tng every year to distant nations for material that we can
make at leaat as well amonir ourselveB. A great country
lllte this should be entirely Independent of foreign naUona,
in the one fact that It should not buy from them what It
can produce as well, or l>etter, itself. And this leHson Is
taugnt by all successful nations. The traest free trade Is
that which buys from others what we cannot
Sroduee. and sella to them what they cannot pro-
uce. Take now, for instance, as an Ulnstratloa
of theae thonghta, a recent official record of the 11
months ending May 31, 1877, of the import* introduced
into the United Statea, by which it appeared that the ag-
gregate for the last flncal year of Indtutrial disaster was
more than ^180,000.000, most of which could be made
in our own country with the alightert concert of action.
How many men and women woula these enormous
industries give employment tot You can
answer that question yuurvelves. I simply
throw out the thought to show you that if we wldied to
utilise our opportimitiea, there need not be in tbis contt-
try, even in hard times, with anything like acreement be-
tween labor and capital and a wise and forbeaiing spbit

were nude by Mr. Landis and a«veial others, uad an
COLLECTOR FREELANI/S CASE.
SUXORC COKOEK2?IXG THE CHARGES AGAINST
HIM — HE BELIEVES THEU TO BE POR
SPECULATION AND REVENGE— GEK. HAYES
SAID TO BE THE COMING MAN,
The charges against Collector Freeland stiU
engross a la^e share of the conversation of oflicials
and politicians ta Brooklyn. Mr. Silverman, who
makes the chaises, is said to be exerthog aU his ener-
gies in this City to secure eridence to sustain them,
and neither the Collector nor any of his accused depu-
ties have seen him. Mr. Bowden, ex-deputy, is spoken
of as a probable witness to prove Mr. Freeland guilty
of extortion, although a letter recently written
by thiin exprerses, i't is said, the highest per-
sonal regard for the Collector and his deptities.
Mr. Freeland and his Chief Deputy, Boone, both be-
lieve that neither Bowden nor Glllen, who were re-
cently removed, are in any way responsible for the
charges, but that they are worked op by Washington
lobbyists, who hope to make money out of the affair,
and to avenge themselves ui>on Mr. Freeland because
of his refusal to solicit Mr. Beecher's aid in sectuing
a foreign mission for aback politician. Inspector
W. H. Brooks is searching for facts tot tise in the
investigation, and has had a consultation with
Messrs. Bowden and Jacobs, who will probably be
witnesses. Gaff, Fleischman & Co.. Mr. Reiner, a
rectifier of apirits, and a number of cigar and to-
boccO dealers will also appear for the prosecution.
An opinion wevails in Brooklyn that while there is
no likelihood that the charges against Mr. Freeland
will be Btistained, he will, nevertheless, be removed
soon, and that Gen. Edwin L. Havs, of the Twenty-
third "Ward a distant relative of the President, wUl
be appointed in his stead. - Gen. Hayes' relatives say
that he applied for the place, understanding that Mr.
IVeeland s term had expired, and that, on accouint of
his age, he would not be reappointed ; that he ap-
plied on the strength of his war record, and in no
sense on account of his relationship to the President ;
and that the charges against Mr. Freeland were an
entire surprise to nim, (Gen, Hayes.] It is also an-
nounced that the appointment of Gen. Hayes had
been dlssussed in Cabinet, and that all the members,
except the President and Secretary Schurx. voted in
favor of him. It is also asserted that he has the
active advoca^ of Secretary Sherman, Chief -Justice
Waite, Gen, Sherman, Gov. Hartranft. and others.

THE TEMPEI4.VTL'RE YESTERDAY.
Ytstcrday i»i»y b^; classed as one of the hot
day* 1 the seaj-on. The inten-se heat made itself
known early in the morning, and thronch»ut the
day people walked the streets, or attended to their
affairs in doors, longin^c for ni^ht to come. There
was, however, a ligiit b^-eczi? stirring all dav.
making it jiossibl.* I'or such as could remain
quietly in the Fh&i!e to enjoy conip-irative comfort.
The ext-essive heat of yest-erday made the
work of the physici.ans and visitors of the Sick Chil-
dren's Mission very oppn-ssive. In some of the
crowded tenements the temperature w.isclo.so upon
100^, and the poor children were suffering terri-
bly. In the Eleventh and Sixteeuth Wards a great
many cases of sickness and destitution were found.

ACCUSED OF FRAVDULEXT PRACTICES.
A man named Max Greenebaunx ulias Simon
Harnett, alias Abraham Greene, v&a arrested yester-
day morning by Capt, Foley and Sergt. Maloney, of
the Tenth Precinct. He was su-ipected of endeavor-
ing to f raudtilently dispose of a large quantity of
clothing material which had been intrusted
to him for conversion into garments.
After hia arrest the ofhrers searched
a hou^e in Tliirty-seveiith-.strcet. near Eighth-avenue,
and found five trunks filled with goods valued at sev-
eral thousands of dollars. These were taken to the
Tenth Precinct Station-house, where clothing-dealers
pointed out piece!* of cloth, &c.. belongimr to them.
Yesterday afternoon Capt. Foley tooit Greenebaum
to the Essex -Market Police Court. and
induced the presiding magi.strate to re-
mand him to givie the officers more time to pro-
cure evidence and secure a presumed accomplice.
Greenebaum- was arrested on July 2 S by Officers
Wood and Hickey, in tho freight depot of the Penn-
sylvania Railroad, at Pier No. 3"^ North River. He
was then charged with baring tal:en from Philadel--
pbia a large quantity uf clotljinc material he had pro-
cured from Edward Hanauer & Co., of Arch and
Third streets in that city, on the false pretense of
Dianufacturing wearing 'apparel from it. In some
manner that cotild not be ascertiuned last evening, he
procured his freedom from that char^.
TJIE EXD OF A MISVSED LIFE.
Arthur J. Hosfoni diod .-uddenly at his resi-
dence. No. 27 West Fourth-street, yesterday morn-
ing. The cause of his death is believed to have been
apoplexy, accelerated by excessive drinking. The
deceased was an artist by profession, and was well
known although his works have not beenof an ambitions
or superior character. He was a native of England
and about 40 years of age. He firat"bracticed his
profes»ion in London, wliere, it is said, ho was
for a time very ^uccessluh Al>out 10 years ago,
meeting with some reverses in fortune, be came to
this City, where he has since resided, lie then went
to reside in thehotise in which he closed his career.
He wasnotauccessfulhere, and his works of late years.
It is said, have bron what artist* term *• pot-boilers."
Hosford did some work for the theatres occasionally.
His most successful production in tliat direction was
the "imitation of lace upon the drop-curtaiu of the
Lyceum Theatre.
A GREEXBACK VEMOXSTRATIOX.
A- greenback meeting was held at Pater-
son, N. J.. lastN night, over 1,000 persons
being present, most of whom were unem-
ployed working men. Gon. Hoxsey, of Patcraon,
and J. A. Beecher, of Newark, spoke strongly for
paying the national bonds in greenbacks, and substi-
tuting greenbacks for national bank notes; They
advocated laborers combining to oppose combinations
of capitalists, denounced money aristocracy and rail-
road corporation bondholders, and said that the
President should have issued a proclamation that
labor wat oppressed, and called a special session of
Congress Instead of sending troops against the op-
pressed strikers. The speeches were warmly ap-
plauded. Arrangements were made to send dele-
£tea tb the State Greenback .Convention next Tues-
y.

AVedsesdat, Aug. 8— P, M.
SpeoiU-ation on the ijtoiik ExeHange to-
diiv waa characterized by a strong imiier-
tyne, but outside of Western UnioUp the corI
stocks, and the trunk line shares, business was
exti-emiily dull. The grc^atest improvement
for the day was in the coal stocks, which re-
corded an advance ranging from 1 to 3^4 ^
cent., the reason assigned for the upward
movement being the fevorablo reports from the
ininine regions, which indicate a speedy settle-
ment bet^reea the companies and the strikers.
Western t^nlou declined over 1 V cent, at the
opening:, under sales based on the positive de-
i nial by the o'fficers of the Atlsntic and Pacific
i, Tele.?Taph Company of the reports recently put
afloat that negotiations were in progress
looking toward a consolidation of the two com-
panies. In the latu^ dealings Western Union
c'jhibited marked strength, rising 3I4 1? cent
from the lowest point under active purchases.
This improvement took tho street somewhat by
surprise, and conjecture was again rife as to the
position on the stock occupied by the leading
operators. The general impression seems to be
that Jay Gould has not yet succeeded in market-
ing his holdings, ami is determined to sustain
the price at least ontil saah time as he can find
confiding indlTiduala to take the stock off his
bands.
Tho total transactions reached 133,890
shares, which embraced 48, 130 Western Union,
25.605 Lake Shore, 19,181 Dolaware, Lacka-
iraiuia and Western, 10,950 Michigan Cen-
tral, 8,710 Delaware and Hudson, 5,670 New-
Vork Coptxml. 2L275 jlozxia and Kmbt 2.700
St Paid, 1,600 Erie, 1,200 Norib-wwteia
preferred, and 1,137 Toledo and Watjaih.
Western Union declined fr«is 71^ to 70^
and advanced to 73% Lake Shore! rOM from
51 Tg to 52^8, and reacted to 52^ toelaware,
Lackawanna and Western adyanesd ilrcim 40%
to 42I2, receded to 41^, and flnallylrscovered
to the highvit point. Michigan Central ad-
vanced from a^ to 4573, reacted to 45.^ and
rose to 4U. Delaware and Htidsog advKQced
from 41 to 43^ the latter being the closing
price. Kev-Tork Centrfd ranged betweep 93%
and 94% Morris and Essex rose froim S^lg to
7OI2, and closed at 7034, St Paul scild at 259
251^ for the common, and at 61i4®61>2 for the
preferred, Brie at 938®9%, Norih-wegtem
preferred at 5134®52i4. Toledo and Vabash at
STg-a*, Union Pacific at 647^ Port jWayne at
87^, and Chicago find Alton at 86. ' Eixpress
stocks were weak for Adams, which detained
under sales of odd lots from 95 to 9234-
Mr, Moses A. Wheelock, Chairman of the
Stock Exchange, tendered hif resignation to-
day, this action being induced by hia inability
to meet losses incurred by him consequent on
the decline in Western Union Stock. Mr.
'nnieeloo^kjs one of the oldest members ofthe
exchange, and much sympathy was expressed
for him in his embarrassments.
The stock of the Bertha and Edith Gold
Mining Company has been placed on the regular
list of the New-York Mining Board, and will be
called to-morrow. The company is organized
under the laws of the State of New-York, the
capital stock being $3,500,000, and the par
value of the shares, which are now assessable,
$10.
Money loaned at 292i<) ^ cent, daring the
greater portion of the day, but at the close
there were free offerings at l^a V cent. Dis-
counts are unchanged. The national bank notes
received at Washington for redemption to-day
were $650,000, Customs receipts, $450,000,
and revenue receipts $300,000. The! following
were the rates of exchange on New- York at the
undermentioned cities to-day : Savannah, bay-
ing, ig; selling, \i premium; Charleston,
stronger, 3-16 w I4 premium ; Cincinx^ati easier,
but not quotably lower : buying par, selling
1-10 ; New-Orleans, commercial, ^ ; bank, I4 ;
St. Louis, 75 premium, and Chicago par to 50
discount.
The foreign advices reported the London mar-
ket for securities lower for Consols and fiirm for
United States bonds, but the changes as com-
pared with yesterday were slight. The former
closed at OoigSSpiii, for money and the account,
and the latter at lOeSg a. IO6I2 for 4:\ 9 cents,
10738® 1071.2 for 53 of 1881, lOGS* for 1867s,
and 1 lOoy for lO-lOs. Erie common rose to
ySg and the prefemid to 19i2, bit; the latter
taosed at 19. Illinois Central sold at 59ltj.
New-York Central declined 1 ¥ cent, to 91i.,j,
but recovered at the close to 92. The sum of
£358,000 bnlUon was withdrawn from the
Bank of Etiglaud to-day on balance. At Paris
Rentes closed at lOUf. 37 loo- after selling up to
106f. 37I2C.
Tho Sterling Exchange market was qtiiet and
the rates for actual business remained at $4 H\
^•$4 8434 for bankers 60-day sterling bills, and
$4 86 a $4 861-2 for demand, the nominal asking
quotations being $4 851-2 and $4 87.
The Gold -speculation was weaker on a small
business. The opening and closing quotation
was 105% with sales in the interim at IO5I-4.
Cash Gold loaned from 2 #' cent, for use to fiat.
Government bonds were steady on small
transactions. The new registered 4 ^ cents
sold at 10514a 1053b. and 41-23 aH08%. In
railroad mortgages the dealings footed up
$191,000. The market, generally speaking,
was firm and hisher. Toledo and Wabash
Firsts, ex coupon, rose to 92, St. Louis and Iron
Mountain Firsts to yy, Chicago and North-
western consolidated gold coupons to
88, St. Paul, (,'hicago and Milwaukee
Division, to 99^4. Hannibal and St.
Joseph convertibles to BOi-j, Toledo, Peoria and

AUERICAIT LONORAS^aZ: TZAK.
The four eompetitiona for the purpose of se-
lectfaig the American teun were praetlc&Uj eoneluiied
yeaterdaj. Some of the competlton have been ab-
sent from one or more competitionB, and
'they wlQ he afforded an opportunity to
shoot on Saturday, and on Monday and Tnoa-
dft7 next, to make np their deficiency. Until these
ecoree are completed, it ia Imposaiblo to foreshadow,
with accuracy, who will constitute the team, as the
list of delinqnetits includes Qen. Dakhiv Major
Jewell, and Messrs. Webtnr, Sathhone, &ad Clark, all
of whom have ^od ' prospects of being in
the magic " Eight.'* The weather yesterday
was Tery good for sliooting, ezceptlns the
almost inevitable '* flah tail " wiTtd, which pre-
vailed in the afternoon. During the contest at SOO
yards distance there was sr«ToeIy any breeze percep-
tible, but at 900 and 1,000 yards range the wind
sprang up, and it became necessary to pay moxi^'at-
tention to the variations of tJie wtnd-gange thicn be-
fore. Twenty-two of the competitors were present,
rhe total made by the first eight was 1 , 640 polnta, the
highest score ever recorded, and completely eclipsing
ttie fine scores made by the teams in the tnatch laut
year. Gen. Daldn, finding that his gun had been in-
jured by the storm to which it was exposed on the
Krevioos day, requested permission of the committee
avinc: charge of the m.atch to allow him to shoot ont
his score after the competition had been flnUhed at
J. 000 yards. His request was granted, and he used
Col. "Wingate's gun at the next two ranges. When
he shot his score at 800 yards, he
Commenced anew, and made 74 ont
of a possible 75 points. Some of the other com-
petitors toot exceptions to the right of the eom-
mittee to grant him this privilege, and still more at
hissing allowed to commence his score anew, but
no ijsrmal protest was entered. Mr. Rathbone
eJaime>d the same nrivllege, but was refused. Fol-

ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE RED StOCKTXGS
OF BOSTON — THEY DEFEAT THE HART-
FORDS OF BROOKLYN. 1
The seventh game of the championship series
between the Red Stockings of Boston, and the Brook-
IvB-Hartford Club, was pdayed on the Union Grounds
yesterday afternoon, in the presence of abpat X.500
Bpectators. The contest was a very floae one
thronsrhont, and resulted, in a well-earned victory
tor the visitinar team "by t2ie small score of 5 to 3.
Flay was called at 4:10 P. M. by the un^ire, Mr.
Bunce, of the Nameless Clnb, the visitors taking the
field. Faultless fieldin? marked the play of both
clubs during the first three innings, as no cons were
p'-ored. although some safe battinz was done by play-
^rs on both sides. In the fourth inning. -O'Ronrke
opened the play for the Bostons by earning his first
'ha.<te on a good hit, and by swift base running
reached hts third. Sutton, after two bands were put
out, followed with a base hit, on which O'Ronrke
ncored. This gave them the lead., which ,'the7 held
np to the ftrth inning, when the Hartfords tied
the score, Cassldy and Habiidj^ earning a
run by good 'batting. O'Rourke again
won the lead for his side. ' in the
next inninrby his daring base running, assintod by a
splendid drive for three baAes by WTilte. From this
point out all intere.st in the game r6ased,|a8 it was
evident from iXhe manner in which the visitors were
playing that the Hv^ords could not poa^lbly over-
come the odds against them. The Bostons added 1
more to their score in the eighth inning. »and 2 in the
ninth, which brought their total up to 5-1 In the
ninth inning the Hartfords also scored 2 runs on er-
rors by Shafer and gpod hits by York sn^ CassIUy,
after two hands were disposed of. JTolluwiag is a
■^uU score :

FAILVRB OF MOSFS A. WBEEIOCK.
The announcement of the failure of Moses
A.. Wheelock. the Chairman of the Stock Board, cre-
sted a decided sensation on the street yesterday. Mr.
Wheelock is one of the oldest members of the Ex-
change, having been connected with it n>r upward
of 30 years, dtiring24of which, he has held an
official position in the board. His salary aa Chair-
man unta 1873 was 912,000 per year, bttt after the
panic it was cut down to ^7,000. The Immediate
:ause of his failure is ssdd to have^been over specula-
tion in Western Union Telegraph stocK, but the
amount of his liabilities is not thought t^ be large.
Until a few years ago the Chairman was forbidden to
speculate, but since 1873 the rule to that; effect has
been partially abrogated, so that Mr. Whbelock can-
not be considered to have violated any tni»t reposed
Ln him. He was the best and most efficient Chairman
;he Stock Exchange ever had, and possess^ a knowl-
* edge of SVali-atreet affairs which was vouchsafed to
few. Much regret was e^roressed among tjie brokers
vesterday at ttie news 01 his misfortune, and the
!bope was generally indulged Id that [he would
emerge from it without detriment. A meeting of the
tjoveminK Committee of the Exchange was he^T^ur-
Ing the afternoon to consider Ms resignacfon. buhno
ofticial action has yet been annonnced. jMr. James
Mitchell, the Vice-Chairman, has been summoned
home from his vacation to take Mr. "^Vheelock's
^lace. 1

tributed 114, of which number 76 were females;
England, 17; Scotland. 3: Germany, 47: Canada, 2;
France, 3; Sweden.l4; other countries, 9.1
There was one suicide in the year— the first in
three years. The death rate was smaller than last
year, namely, 5.-10 per centum. At one period of
the year there werej 827 patients imder treatment In
the buildinf. withi'a capacity for accoibmodating
only G50. There are stUT about 50 female patients
who might be transferred to the Hospital for In-
curables if there was room to accommodate them.
The accommodations for patients in the asylum will
probably be adequate for at least two yea^ to come.
The Doctor claimed that the managemient of the
asylum had been the subject of unfalc criticism
during the year, and says: "With an 4verage of
over 800 patients under our care, with only two
physicianB, and without an apothecary or clerk. It
has been impossible to do as we desired, and should
otherwise have done, and the incompleteness, and
fault, if any, cannot be justly charged against the
managing officers of the inslitntion. In my laat re-
port I set forth as plainly as possible the difficulties
and dangers of sa(m a course, but my redommenda-
tions and requests have been unheeded." !
In view of his resi^atien having been tjendered to
the board in May last, I)r. Blanchard doe« not make
suggestions for tne future, leaving that to his suc-
cessor, Dr. Paraons. I
Mr. Williani Murray, Superintendent of the Alms-
house, reports that in the month of January there
were 1,134 inmates, and that the number during the
month has never been less than 770. ■ The accommo-
dations, tK>th in the male and female departments, he
pronounces bad. He recommends that a wide st&ircaae
be erected in the centre of the building occupied by
the females, and sKys that with the present mode of
egress the loss of life in case of Are would undoubted-
ly be heavy. The construction of an additional
buildinz Is recommended. The percentage of deaths
In the children's nursery has been unusually large,
owing to the overcrowded ?ondltion of the waroa.
The report continues as follows : '* I think that the
erection of a work-house, and the compulsory labor
of all inmates that the attending physician shall
pronounce able to work, would improve the condi-
tion of such inmates. I would also recommend,
should a workhouse be established, that the inmates
be properly classified, so that the unfortunate pelrson
driven by cirr^mstances to seek a shelter here fijtr a
time may nju- be compelled to come In hourly con-
tact with thj decraded rounder and revolver, who
looks forwanl with tranquil feelings and placid indif-
ference to A life at the pahlir expense and a paupers
crave. This would, in my opinion, restore to this
class of persons their self -respect, and reverse the
almost imiveraal rule of ' once a pauper always a
pauper.' "
Number of inmates remaining July 31, 1876,
821 : received during the year, 2^301 ; total. 3.120.
dlschanced during the year, 1,508 ; transferred to

THE MUTiDER OF JOSX E. DAILET.
Nothing new can be ascertained inj this City
in relation to the murder, at San Frandsoo. of John
E. Dalley. formerly a Wall-street broker, by L. C
Hanks, also a former resident of this City. It is sur-
mised by those who were acquainted with the men
that the cause of the murder was a personal difficulty
connected with some stockjobbing operation. The
news of Dailey's death was first received by hia rela-
tives in New-Haven by a dispatch from San Fran-
cisco, received In the evening. The most intense ex-
citement was created by the dispatch, and Mr. Hugh
DaUey. brother of the deceased, an attach^ of the
.New- York and Boston Postal .Service, was at once
telegraphed for to rejoin the family. The grief -stricken
relatives clung to the hope that the report of the
killine of ••■Jack." as the deceased was fan^liarly
called, was untrue, and a dispatch was sent to Mr.
Leland. proprietor of the Palace Ho^el, at which Mr.
Dailey had been stoppine in San Pranoisco, asking if
*' Brother John" wasredilydead. Only a day previous
to the dispatch annoancing his death the family had
received a long letter from the deceased giving a
long account of the late riots in San Prancisco, and
telltuK how he had himself been a commander of a
company under the Vigilance Committee. The de-
ceased's mother had been in a very precarious con-
dition for some time, and H was feared that the ter-
rible news, if ronftrmed. would CAu.se her a shock
that would be followed by verj- serious rt-sults.
A ZTAyiAC IX SUFFOLK COVyTY JAIL.
Mrs. Gorgen, accompanied by Jlrs. jGleste, of
Breslau. and a male friend, visited J.^r busband In
the Suffolk County: Jail on TJuesday. li appeared
from the conversation among; the party that thev
had been sent by the officers of | two societies of me-
chanics, of which Gorgen is a member, jto inquire
into his condition with a view, should it bo found
worse, to commencing an action against tie authori-
ties of Suffolk County for Improper treatmeint of the
prisoner. When they arrived Gorgen was linusually
wild, being entirely naked, and it was impossible to
keep clothing upon him. His wife had brought him
a pair of new pantaloons made of bi^wn dack with
patent buttons, which they managed to get on him.
tint before they left the jail he had torn off tbeibut-
tons and waistband, and he soon afterward hadj the
pantaloons torn in pieces. In the course of the I day
Br. Thayer, the jail physician, succeeded In getting
some medicine down his throat, which had a quieting
effect ; but it is feared that it will mkiu be necessary
to put him in a stnut-jackct. When the party
left they announced that leeal measures would be
taken to compel the authorities to investigate his
condition. They absolved County Judge Hedges
from all blame in the matter, but seemed dlsposea to
censure District Attorney Wickham. The prisoner,
who has been a resident of Kings County fdr 12
years, had been in Suffolk County only a few hionrs
when he killed his child, and is now likely to beijome
a charge upon Suffolk for the rest of his life.
A STABBING AFFRAY AT QUTTEySEltG,
The Police of Weehawken and Ho!bokezi are

amined, among them Gen. Fitz John Porter, who
testified as an expert that he was familiar with tho
Central Railroad, and ' that he had estimated the
value of the main line, including road-bed, real estate
and rolling stock at about $14,000,000. and consid-
ered the taxation estimate of the railroad's value too
high. Ashbel Welsh testified that he considered the

SHIP OP ARRESTING MEN WHO HAVE
PAID THE LICENSE PEE— THE DELIN-
QUEKT8 BAILED IN COURT.
T^ere was rery Uttle new to record in ex-
oSae matters yesterday. The rtuh of HDpUcauta for
lioenses oentinues, and although the Police have so
far paid little or no attention to the receipts of the'
Exdae Board, the liquor dealers are still anxious to
get them, and thtia comply, at far as may
be, with the law. Three hundred and twen-
ty applications and $16,800 were received
at the Excise office. In Houston-street, yesterday,
maUng a total of 2.700 dealers who have thus far
complied "nith the requirements of the statute. A
great deal of Indignation it manifested at the oon^
duct of The Police in continuing to mo-
lest dealera who have filed their appli-
eatiooa and paid their license money, and
are only awaiting the final decision of the board. A
particularly aggravatiog case is that of William
ILamb, of No. 30 Roie-street, who was arrested on
Monday niffht for selling without a license. It appears
that Lamb's license, like most others, had expired
k short time since, and, wishing to give no excuse for
Interference, he immediately filed his application for
a renewial, accompanied by the usual bond In $250
penalty: He also paid the $75 required bylawandre-
^etved his receipt. On Monday night a big, burly
policeman entered his place, and in a rough tone de-
panded' his license. Xiamb, who is ah old man,
land suffering from consumption, explained to
officer that' -he had applied for one,
t that the board, through stress of business, had
ot bad time to pass upon it. He also exhibited the
eceipt for his license-money, but the officer refused
pay any attention to It, and insisted on his accom-
.nying him to the Atation-liouse. Lamb's son, who
as standing by, explained to the policeman that
his father was old and In feeble health, and
pegged that he might be taken to the station-house
In his stead. The officer ordered hira to "shut
iup and mind his own business," and then dragged
the unfortunate old man to the station -house, where
ho was thrust into a sweltering cell alongwith anum-
ber of others, and confined there until morning.
Major GeorRe W. Saner, of the German Liquor-
Dealers' Association, in commenting on thia case yes-
terfay said: " If such an infamous outrage had oc-
curred in Russia — ^the most despotic country in Eu-
rope^there would have been a riot in 24 hours<
If I was to go abroad this Summer I would be
ashamed to say that I was an American
citizen. How respectable Americans can
stand by and see such outrages committed,
and then call this a ' free countiy' is more than I
can understand. There is actually more liberty to-
day on the Ccmtinent of Europe than there is here.
1 can go Into any country in Europe and not one of
thoae ' effete monarchies,' that our orators a^ so
fond of abusing, will dare to prescribe what I shall
eat or drink. It Is only here In ' free" America
that we see an insolent, overbearing Police dragging
innocent (;^ltizens and ta:£-payer8 to Jail because an
obsolete law, worthv of tne d^lc ages, has been
dragged from oblivion by a legal decision.
There are plenty of obsolete laws on the
Btatute-Dook of Great Britain which. If they
were enforced to-day would cause a revolution.
These sumptuary laws are the relics of the ascetic
ase succeeding the Reformation and have been
Bholi*hftd by every civilized country except America.
These Oliver Cotters. Prancls Murphys, and other
converted dmnkard.<» who have wallowed In rum until
their brains have become afFected,go about the country
Ailing people's heads with nonseuee on this subject,
and our legislators are too cowardly to encounter
the mock poblic sentiment thus created." Major
Saner added that the (Vrmans would not cease agita-
ting this question nntll their rights were accorded
and they were allowed the same liberty here that Is
enjoyed elsewhere.
The Germans generally are very Indignant at the
conduct of the Police Board, especially of Commls-
sloner Nichols, whom they claim eave them assurances
that the receipts of the Excise Board would be re-
spected until some settlement could be effected. The
Excise Board, at Ita m«»eting yesterday, irranted seven
licenses, making less than 60 issued thus far out of
the 2,(500 applied for.

A SMALL MEETINO OP LIQUOR-DEALEES.
In some of the morning papers yesterday ap-
peared an advertisement In which the liquor-dealers
uf the City were requested to " arouse '' and attend a
meeting, under the auspices of the liquor and Beer
Dealers' Protective Association, at Putnam Hall, cor-
ner of Third-avenue and Twelftti-street. It was an-
nounced that the object -of the meeting was
to effect a consolidation of all existing societies
into one grand oi;gnnlzatlon. In response to this
call four dealers straggled Into the hot and stifling
hall between 7:30 P. M. and 3 P. M. An hour later
yir. John Keenan calied nine dealers and a few un-
employed bar-toDders to order. In doing so, be an-
nounced that the meeting had been called simply for
the purpose of mal(ing some preliminary arrange-
ments for the holding of a grand maaa-meeting, at
which it was expected that all the organizations
would co-operate to effect measures looking to
tfae better protection of the trade. Notwithstand-
ing this announcement, a voltmilnous preamble mid
several verbose resolutions were read and adopt-
1 ed. The Btibstance of the resolutions was that it is
I the desire of the liquor and beer dealers to obey just
I laws; that they, however, protest against the pres-
ent Excise law, as admitting of interpretations injuri-
ous to the trade ; that the meetinc deemed it unjust
i and outrageous for the Police to ignore the receipts
of the Excise Board; that they [the dealers] denounce
1 aa tyrannical the arre.st of members of the trade at
I uni^omly hours, and their Incarceration over
I night In filthy cells, with criminals of the
I lowest classes, and that the increase of the
i excise fee from $50 to $75 was unjust. An
additional resolution, tendering tho thanks of the
dealers to those members of the Legislature who
advocated the jiassaire of the defeated Pro-liquor act,
was also adopted. Two of the nine dealers m.ide
brief speeches. Capt. Stephen O'Keefe, a leading
member of the Uquor and Beer Dealers' Protective
Association, expressed the belief that no dealers
would object to paying the regular license fee,
if the receipts therefor, issued by the Ex-
cise Board, guarauteed them protection
ponding the consideration of their applica-
tions. Under existing circumstances it seemed
to him that those who refused to comply with the
law were apparently as well protected as those who
have conscientiouslrpaidtheirfeesandarewaitingthe
pleasure of the Excise Board to issue the llceitse cer
tlflcatos. Major Richard O'Grady made some re-
marks of a similar tenor, and urged unitv among the
organizations as a means of accomplianing the ob-
jects aimed at. On motion of Mr. John Howard, the
following committe wa.i appointed by the Chairman
to confer with committees of other bodies of liquor-
deiUers relative to the expediency of holding a mass-
meeting at Cooper Institute at an early date ; Rich-
ard O'Grady, James Keenan, Stephen O'Keefe, Law-
rence Keenan, John Howard, Edward Kearney, Pat-
rick Moore, James McOovem, and Thomas Doyle.
The meeting then adjourned.

4 HARD-FOUGBT BATTLE ON THE
OSMA.
CHE RUSSIAKS AGAIN DEFEATED — ^A. DAT
SPEN'T Df CHARGDfO ON TDBKISH DE-
FENSES, TVTTH HEAVY LOSS TO THE AS-
SAILANTS— SPLENDID FIGHTING OP THE
RUSSIANS — DOGGED RESISTAXCE OP THE
TURKS — OSMAN PASHA VICTORIOUS ALONG
THE WHOLE LINE.
Special Dispatch by Cable to the Xeir-York JHmes.
London, Aug. 9. — Disaster appears still
to attend tde enterprises of the Russian Army
in Bwlcrnria. and particularly their efforts to re-
trieve the misfortunes of Plevna and Loftscha.
The confidence engendered by their easy passa^
of the Danube and their rapid pr gress toward
the Ballfans still impels them to attack the
Turks in their strong positions, and the latter
seem to be satisfied with simply receiving their
assaults and repelling them, the advantage in
Buch tactics being found in the disparity of loss.
Osman Pasha, the Turkish commander in the re-
cent successes on the lines of the Vid and
Osma Rivers, is di5i>osed to humor the dis-
position of the Russians to attack him in his
strongholds, and coolly selects his own positions.
While the Russians were engaged in concentrat-
ing a large force. der.igned, at all hazards, to
redeem the defeat at Loftscha, Osman Pasha
selected the village of Vladina, on a spur of
a mountain ridge nuining south-west and north-
east, as the point at which to receive thejir at-
tack. In this position his right was protected
by the river Osma and the tovra of Loftscha, and
ais left by intrenchments which he had tikne to
greatly strengthen.
Early on Tuesday morning, the 7th ijist~, the
Russians advanced to the attack, opening with
the usual Are of artillery, which played fiercely
on the Turkish position. The Turki.>.h artillerv-
men replied with equal vigor, and the duel with
cannon was kept up for a considerable jtime.
Under cover of the roar and smoke of the. guns
a movement was made by the Russians on the
flanks and the centre of the Turkish position.
The Russian infantry poured in masses on the
Turkish works, and were received with the
dogged resistance that has always characterized
the Turks behind intrenchments. A firm and
bitter fire was kept up on the assailant-s,
under which they recoiled, and at last fell back
repulsed, leaving the ground in front of the
Turkish works covered with dead and wounded.
The repulse was only temporary, however, for
the Ras.sians, with splendid gallantry, reformed
ind charged again and again upon the obstinate
lefenders. but with the same unavailing and
dreadfully fatal results as in the first pnset.
VoThing but undauntoil pluck could have with-
stood the Russian assaults, persisted in against
i murderous Are from rifles and rannonl that
plowed their ranks through and through as they
advanced. 1
All the day this fearful flg>;t went on. the
Russians hurlLug themselves -with a desperate
courage on the intrenchments of the Turks,
ind as steadily being repulsed, every assault
Leaving its ghastly contribution to the dead and
(vounded. Only at the close of the day, when
the Russian line staggered before the Turkish
are, (lid Osman Pasha give the word to attack,
and from a firm and steady defense the
Turks assumed the offensive, rushing upon
their foes with overwhelming force and
audacity, and at night Osman Pasha was vic-
torious along the 'entire line of battle. The
[osses on both sides were heavy, but heaviest on
the Russian side, from the openness, boldness,
ind persistency of their attacics. and the com-
paratively sheltered position of the Turks.
The telegraphic dispatch from the special cor-
respondent of the The New-York Times at
Shumla, recently forwarded, stated that a great
battle was expected soon. A private dispatch
received from Adrianople to-day says that the
Russians still continued their retrograde move-
ment, and were not expected to make a stand
before reaching Osman-Bazar. where another
decisive battle would probably be fought about
Wednesday. The Russian cavalry were very
busy near that place.
The Turkish Government has informed the
British Ambassador at Constantinople that they
will themselves, without assistance, be able to
defend Gallipoli against any attacking force,
engineers are now at work on the fortifications.

liONDON. Aug. 1). — A Renter telegram' from
Constantinople, dated yesterday evening,
lays: '"Many rumors of Russian defeats are
rurrent to-day. but the War Office only con-
firms the victory at Loftcha. The Russian losses
ire said to have been \-ery hea\-y.''

Constantinople, Aug. 9. — According to

in superior force have attacked Plevna to-day.
The result is unknown.
Constantinople, Aug. fl— Evening.— It is're-
ported in official circles that the Russians, have
igaln been defeated at Plevna.
LONIWN. Aug. 9.—TbePallitaU GazrMe. says
the Russian losses to July 27. according to an
official statement, amount to 9.395. The losses
»t Plevna are not included in this statement.
A Bucharest dispatch to the Daily yeirs
states that the Grand Duke isicholas' head-
qaarjers are at Bulgareni, 12 miles east of
Plevna.
The following is the text of the Times Shumla
dispatch about the fight near Easgrad : "On,
Tuesday morning a Russian force,, consisting
of two regiments of horse and one
battalion of foot, attacked the Turks
in possession of the Jaslar, but, after
a short conflict, retired in the-direction of Pop-
koi. Receiving reinforcemeuts, they returned
once more to the attack, but were again repulsed,
the Turks maintaining their iwsition. The bat-
tle was bloody on both sides. '
LoxDOS. Aug. 10. — The correspondent of the
Daily yeics bX Bucharest reports that great num-
bers of troops continue to arrive from Russia, as
also wounded from the Danube.
A yeics special from Adrianople announces
that the Russians are in force at Kain-Boghaz,
where a battle is imminent, unless they abandon
the Balkans.
The A'cici Vienna dispatch states " that two
Army corps from Odessa and the Crimea are al-
ready on the march to the Danube. Gen. Krud-
sner'has received 15,000 fresh troops and some
artillery." ^
WEAKNESS OF THE RUSSIAN PLAXS.
fiE-:. ZIUMERMANN'S FORCE Df the DOBBUD-
SCHA VIRTUALLY THBOWJf AWAY — TOO
WEAK TO ADVANCE Oft TO ATTACK
SILISTMA.
London, Aug. 9. — The Times'has a.'K-as-
tendje dispatch dated the 5th inst., by way of
Bucharest, Aug. 8, which says : " Gien. Zim-
mermann has most of the Fourteenth Corps and
a division of another corps in the
Dobrudscha, his ma4n force being encamped
about eight miles from Tchemavoda.
His operations have hitherto consisted mainly
in sending out detachments of Cossacks on
■ scowtja* duty in ^ directions. Gen. Zimmei-
^^iSlrJSE'..
mann's head-quarters are at Tchemavoda. It
is the opinion of officers who should be well in-
formed, that they will remain there until the
fall of Rustchuk, or its complete blockade, so as
to enable Gen. Zimmermann to operate against
Silistria without being taken in the rear."
The Bucharest correspondent who forwards
this dispatch calls attention to the uselessness
of Gen. Zimmormaon's corps, as it is powerless
to advance and cannot do anything until other
operations aire successful around Rustchuk,
while it could assist these operations were it in
Bulgaria, and after they were completed would
be in a better position to work upon Silistria
than from Tchemavoda.
COLLATERAL ISSUES OF THE ^AR.
THE EASTERN QUESTION IN THE BRITISH PAR-
LIAMENT— REPORTED WILLINGNESS OP
TURKEY TO CONCLUDE PEACE O^ THE
ANDRASSY BASIS OP REFORM — POSITIONS
OF AUSTRIA AND GERMANY — CORDIALITY
BETWEEN THE EMPERORS.
London, Aug. 9. — Earl Feversham, in the
House of Lords, and Mr. Bentinck, in the
Hotise of Commons, this afternoon confuted,
at the request of the Govemmeit, to
refrain from calling attention to the
Eastern question for which they had
notices on the paper. The Govern nentls
request is based on the conviction, as sta ted by
Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, in the House of Commons that
a discussion now would be disadvant igeous
to the public service. Mr. Bourke, Undersec-
retary for the Foreign Department, in i? 'ply to
a question, said : " Tliere has been : to ne-
gotiation between England and Austria ] egard-
ing the mobilization of Austrian troops i i case
Roumania or Servia participates in hos tilities
or the Russians enter Ser\-ia. The Govei nment
knows of no direct negotiations between the
Czar and the Sultan, therefore there is no
ground for a protest. 1 do not know thi t Aus-
tria has communicated with Russia or *] 'urkey
on the subject."
In the House of Lords to-night, th> Earl
of Bcacon.sfleld, acknowledging Lord Fever-
sham's courtesy in ■withdrawing his lotice,
said : "' When this cruel and desti nctive
war commenced her Majesty's Goverpment
announced that it should adopt a policy of
strict neutrality on condition that British inter-
ests were not imperiled. Russia has returned
an answer which, 1 think, I am authorised in'
.describing as conciliatorj' and friendly :o the
communication in which wo c etined
What we considered to be our interests The
Government has iio reapon to doubt that Xussia
will honorably, obseive the conditions which
were the subject of that correspondence. But,
whatever be the case, the maintenance o; those
conditions is the policy of the British G ivern-
ment."
The Timfs' Berlin dispatch asserts thi t Tur-
key recently notified the powers of the I'orre's
willingness to conclude peace on the g ?neral
basis of Count Andrassy's reform note, b it the
correspondent thinks this is not lik' ly to
lead to any practical results just now.
Russia is far 'too strong and too jealous >f her
reputation to acquiesce in Tiu-kish propo; itions
after one or several rebuffs. Austria an
many, on the other hand, knowing that Russia
is resolved on continuing the war. and. if
sary. going into Winter quarters in Bulgj ria or
Roiimania. hesitate to recommend to ' *riEce
Gortschakoff the message of the Grand '^ 'izier.
A Vienna dispatch to the Times anui unces
that the Greek Envoy has left Belgrade His
mission was a failure.
IsCHEL, -iug. 9.— The Emperor of Ge many
left at U o'cloct to-rtuv. after cordially akiug
leave of the Aibstrian Empress and the ' >o\\-u
Prince. The Emperor of Austria accom] lanied
Emperor William to Edensec. The wh tie in-
terview testified to the existence of the [rank-
est understanding between the two monai chs.
London. Aug. 10. — The Standard's \ ienna
correspondent telegraphs as follows : "I am in
position to state that ut the meeting of tl e Em-
perors William and Francis Joseph at Iscl el the
question of Russia - extending the si at of
war to Servia was never touched upon.
The question is likely to be dropped altoj etner.
Russian military reports ftrom Biela now unex-
pectedly declare that Servian co-operatiot is un-
necessary. It is supposi-d that this chai ge of
lone is due to Russia's having become aware
that a request for such co-operation wouU . have
been refused."
In relation t6 the',imperi.%l interview at
the Berlin senji-official p.ii><.Ts contradict
■chel,
he re-
port that a iletlnit'e political agreement wi -s con-
cluded. They merely admit that* the triple
alliance was reoflinned. The Vienna .Ve|« tree
Presst takes a similar view of the ineetin;
The Timrs qcca.sional Vienna co»resp< indent
assertsthat the interview at Ischel wille:ercise
no influence on the Eastern policy of Aus :ria or
Germany. Austria's policy remains the same
as before the tiattle of Plevna. She will con
tinue to watcli events with the greatesji
lance.
The Timrs' occafjional correspondent at Tienna
.says a telegram from Belgrade received it the
I'oreign Office announces that the Servia i Gov
emmeut has taken all necessary steps to place
-10.000 men on a war footing before th ; ilOth
inst. Tfis force will be entirely directed to the
south-eastern frontier. Foreign ofliceis are

THE TESTIMONY ALL IN — THE SUMMING UP
ARGUMENTS TO BE BEGUN ON MONDAY
NEXT.
Saratoga, N. T., Aug. 9.— In the Senate
this morning, in the ttial of Superintendent El-
lis, H. L. Lamb, Deputy Superintendent, testi-
fied as follows : First saw the statement regard-
ing the Thlrd-Avchue Bank, testified to by
Smith, July 25, 1877, about the time he was
subpoenaed ; Smitb. told witness he made an ex-
hibit about the time the bank failed ; it was
never filed in the department ; made memoran-
da of his statement at the time.
Cross-examined : It was Smith's duty to exam-
ine the reports-and see if anything was wrong in
them, then report to Ellis.
Mr. Warner, a clerk in the department, was
called, and testified that his attention was first
called to Smith's statement in this room, when
he overheard a conversation with the clerk of
the Attorney-General ; Smith lold Taylor to put
the reports and examination in the subpcena.
Sir. Chapman, counsel for Ellis, addressed
the Senate. He said he had considered the
question of producing evidence to show the de-
preciation in the value of real estate within

him that sufficient evidence on that point
had already beeu brought out.
A deba^ ensued as to the summing up. Mr.
McGuire said if the e^-idenro coiild .ill bo printed,

THE CnAUTJUfiCA ASSEMBLY.
ADDRESS BY REV. .lOSEPH COOK ON " CERTAIN-
TIES IN RELIGION" — SERVICES IN MEMORY
OP P. P. BLISS TO BE HELD THIS EVEN-
ING.
Paibpojint, X. Y., Aug. 9. — The usual
conference, normal cla.sses, Greek and Hebrew
classes, anil other rcgUl.ir exercises of the Chau-
tauqua Assembly were held this morning. The
weather was fine and the attendance increasing.
At 1 1 o'cl^ick Jo.sephCook delivered a lecture on
" Certainties in Relistion.'' Mr. Cook claimed
that therejare three things from which we can-
not escape — our own. natures, God. and our rec-
ord ; that these three things constitute our un-
alterable environment while we continue to ex-
ist in this world and the next, .\ccording to
Spencer, whatwcneedraostis harmonization with
our environment. What is scientifically known,
therefore, as harmonization with conscience.
God. and our record is tiie unalterable natural
condition of peace of th4 soul. Mr. Cook said
that the universality of law is the first truth of
science, and that iti is, therefore, established by
strict induction that the soul, like everything
else, is niadejon a plan : that tiie plan of any
mechanism is to l>e ascertainetl by finding out
how it can bo operated as near frictionless as
possible ; that the f rictionlessness in a full-
bred human nature is the natural in human
nature; that continuous joy in all the
faculties is the sign of the frictionless or
natural action oj the faculties : that 4>nly when
reason and conscieuce are supreme in the re-
ligious sense can a full-bred soul attain fric-
tionless action or continuous joy in all the fac-
ulties : that tbc religious is, therefore, scien-
tifically known t<i lie only tiatural- that is, the
only frictionless action ot himian nature ; tha«
lliese truths are known by strict induction, in-
depende'nt of revelations, and that fnim the
nature of things it rcsultn that harmonization
with God in conscience can be attained only by
the love of what tiod loves and the hate of what
God_ hates ; that similarity of feeling with Gud
is scientiticallv known to be the unaiteraliie
natural condition of peace of seul in this world
and the next ; that for hamionizalion with our
record in an unchangeable past, we need more
than our own reformation utnl persoiial excel-
lence, and that not only the necessity of sim-
ilarity of feeling with <io<l or the new birth,
but the necessity of the atonement is scien-
tiiically inferable, therefore, from the necos.sity
of our hurmunizatiou with our whole environ-
ment.
A very appreciative audience of about (i.OOO
persons listeneil to the address, and responded
to itji point with repeated and hearty applause.
After the singing t»f several .songs l)y the Young
Apollo (;iub. of New-York. Frank lieard gave a
pictorial Bible reading, after which R<-v.^^.

DANGER ON THE MISSOURI RIVEB.
Omaha, Nob., Aug. 9. — The danger to the
Union Pacific Railroad shops and smelting works

Augusta,: Me., Aug. 9. — The Republican
State Convention was promptly called to order
by Senator Blaine at 11 o'clock to-day, and
Hon. J. H. Dnunmond, of Portland, was made
President. The forenoon was occupied wholly
with the detiuled business of the convention,
and a reces^ taken until 2 o'clock. The con-
vention wasj a large one, 734 delegates being^
present, and in point of intelligence was far
above the conventions that are usually held.
The present Governor. Hon. Selden Connor,
was renominated by acclamation.
THE PLATFORM.
The resolutions were reported as soon as Gov.
Connor was , renominated. They arc as fol-
lows : '
^ fiVif— The TTnited Stpt<'K constitute a nation, and
not a mere coufpilerary. The successful issue of tho

cessful issup i)f the war for the suppression of re-

Ttmth — The St.ites of SotiDi Carolina. Florid.^, and
Louisiana were fairly and lesallv carried by the Re-
publicans at the November election in 1 HTci.'for State
and national ticketa. and the undoubted riwht of
I'residcnt Hayes and Vice-President Wheeler to the
Electoral vote of those l^tates was affirmed bv the
highest and most impartial tribunal that could be
orcanized under the authority of the National Gov-
ernment : a tribunal to which the Democrats in both
branches of Conp-ess pave their ileliberate assent.
For the Democratic Party now to raise the cry of
fraud is lioth unmanly and dishonest, and If persisted
in miwt ho aeeeptvd as an indication that the party,
in its mud desire for power, is williin; to incur all
hazards of anarchy and revolution.
The remaining resolutions relate especially to
State matters, and declare that economy, integ-
rit>' and fidelity pre-eminently distinpruish all
branches of the ptiblic senire in Maine, as is
evidenced in the steady decrea.se in taxation.
That taxation must bo equal and im-
nartial ; that non-sectarian education must be con-
tinued ; that the cause of temperance must be
promoted by wise prohibitory le^slation. Tho
resolutions close with a cordial indorsement of
Gov. Connor as tho Gubernatorial standard-
bearer.
GEN. CHA?IBERLAIN'S SPEECH.
Instantly, upon the conclusion of the reading
of the resolutions, es-Gov. Chamberlain, of
Brunswick, took the floor and presented a reso-
lution indorsing squarely tho policy of Presi-
dent Hayes, and supported his resolution in
a 10 minutes' speech. He .said :
Mr. President : I offer this resolution be-
cause, speaking for myself and those Republi-
cans who sent me here to act for them, I am
unwilling to see the State Republican Conven-
tion of Maine adjourn without expressing
a cordial support of the National Administra-
tion which represents the head of the party. I
am surpri-sed that no such resolution was of-
fered by the committee. When ever did a State
convention fail to declare its support of its
own chosen agents and champions, and of all
times this is surely one when true allegiance
and manly service should be rendered — now,
when the issues of the last 16 years
are drawn to the sharp crisis. A
year ago in - the national platform we
reaffirmed with care and completeness the prin-
ciples which were our common bond, the end
we sought, and the measures by which they
were to be achieved. If anything could be a
more bold and forcible presentation of them
it was found in Sir. Hayes^ letter of acceptance.
If fturther light or deiaonstration were needed,
it was given in the courageotis, statesmanlike,
■ and noble utterances of the President's inaugu-
ral, and if any were still in darkness the open-
ing acts of the President's administration put at
rest forever all doubt of his sincerity, flrznness,
and devotion to Republican principles. The
President has upon him a great.and solemn re-
sponsihili^. We have called him to a
task more difficult in many respects than
to carry through a war, because to settle
^a disturbed state of thiiij^a in time o£.jQeace hx
constitutional and legal measures is a far more
diflicult matter than to push forward
a war when the warmest sympathies
are aroused, and when men and meas-
ures and motives are not so sharply
scrutinized. We ask the President to secure
for the countrj' the great boon for which we
have fought and toiled so lone. We.ask him to
consummate a political, nnancial. and in-
dustrial reconstruction when all the old
"sTstems have been overthrown from the
foundations. We tusk liim. from the eighteenth eonseflutive year ^s the Chairman of

service policy of the President, and <2iif .jiJttl-
ment seemed to be the jtrpngest
in those sections of the StaM which
are the Repuolican stronghold-s ; and
its action was also an unqualifleti
indorstaient of .Senator Blaine. In the^imber-
land County delegation Gen. Chamberlain wa.>!
defeated as a member of the Committee on
Resolutions. Senator Blaine was foe the nine-
teenth consecutive year placed upon ihe State
Committee. He ,ia now serving^ for the
disorder and disorganization that have followed
the terrific crash of forces ip the internal con-
flict, to give us hack a whole ' countrj'. That Ls
what we want, what we fought for and are still
fighting for ; and now, when the crLsls has come,
when the hopes and pledges so long held are
being honestly and vigorously realiiod, .shall
we ba.sely desert the Executive, on whom /our
own choice) has devolved the difficult task '.
Have friends grown so timid or loyalty so luke-
warm that we shall be asked to let the Presi-
dent alone, or. at the most, to give him
a fair trial ! What has the President
done to make him a leper to be
let alone or a culprit to be put on trial ? What
change has. come over the spirit of our dream
since we a year ago in this convention affirmed
our confidence in our principles and in our can-
didate in resolutions much stronger than this I
now venture to offer ? Is sincerity so new to us
that we are surprised and shocked when one
takes us at our word. Is it the President's crime
that he thought we were honest in our resolu-
tions and promises. Have a care, gentlemen,
lest the people think it is we who are on trial and
not the President. If lie is carrjing out fairly
and squarely the principles announced in onr
platform, year after year, is it not in fret and
in earnest the partythat is on trial ; ifo*i the
measiires we propose for the well-beiny of the
country, are they not on trial t If we
believe in them, whv not stand by thciti ? Wlmt
is the meaning of afl tliis ? Where is the folly i
Who strikes the resohxtion out of men's hearts
and the consistency out of their character !
Shall we be told tO- wait and see
whether the Pro.sident ^Hucceeds or not
before we sustain hiifi ! When ^ our
flag is beint- borne forward f« the very edge of
victorj', shall we stay back in the rear to await
the re'sult before we ^re say whether it is our
flag or not ! Are you going to put Maim;
in the rear ! That is not where I
have been accustomed to see her.
Jlr. President, th.it is where, depend upon
it, she will not stay if you put her there. So,
Sir. the President is goins to be su.stained by
the country, and I am confident that the Kepub-
lican Party in Maine will sustain him.
Let our re.'^olutions, then, sgree with our
principles. Let them nt least speiik our mean-
ing. If we are honest, if we nre wise, we shall
stand by the President. If the Admini.stratiou
docs not represent the Itcpublican Party,
we have no Iiatitmal i)arty. If this
Convention does not endorse the Administra-
tion, we cannot clhim to belong to the Kepub-
lican Party of the country. But let us no
longer use words in mockery. If wu mean
to recognize ; the President as he is.
the exponent of our principles and the
head of our partj-. why hesitaTe Ut
say so in the language of men ; and 1 will say
al.^o, if we mean otbonvise, if it is an honest
conviction that the PrcsiTTent deserves censure
and desertion, let us have the manliKOss to say
so frankly and firmly ; we owe it to the pany
and we owe it to the coujitrj-.
3Ir. Presitlent. the resolution I have offered
is simple and clear ; it is more moderate tlian I
would like, but it is such as evor\' Kepu'Dlican
ought to accept. I know not what otliur gen-
tlemen would think it wise and prudent to say
here, hut for one. so far frr»ra waitinc to see
how the President will come out in his efforts to
pacify the countrj- and purifv the Ber\-ice. I am
\\iththe Presiiient now and here. I am for his
jiolicy. His and ours is the only one thai
can save the party and complete it-s
noble record, and triumphantly elc*:t the true
man we nominate to-<lay — tlie onlj* policj- that
can restorf- peace and business prosperity antl
faith between man and nmn to the whole coun-
trj-. I am for this policy for .-^till a'nolher rea-
son, because il is right.
No sooner had (ien. Chamberlain closed than
Capt. Boutelle. editor of the Bangor H7i(<;. took
the floor and offered a substitute, declaring that
Mes.srs. Chamberlain and Packard weie legally
elected Governors of ."^outh Carolina and Louisi-
ana, and denouncing President Hayes for not re-
cognizing them. The convention at this moment
presented a wild scene. The applause which
greeted Gov. Chainberlain's resolution was loui^
and long, hut when Capt. Boutelle closed his
remarks by reading his resolution tho applause
was perfect^ deafening.
MR. BLAISE'S SPEECH.
Senator Blaine then took the platform, and
before he couhl .speak received a perfect ovation.
While he counseled ik'.ico and hannony and
forcibly urge<l that both resolutions should lie
upo:i the table, he clearly announced his <lis-
approval of Jlr. Hayes' ISoutheru policy. He
said :
Mr. Pbesipent; I do not rise to speak for an
indorsement tif the Administration or against ;
for the Southern policj* or in oi)positioii to it,
hut I beg to saj- an earnest word for the liarniony
and success of the Kepublican Pc.rty in Maine.
[Loud applause.] Tlu^ resolution ofTered by my
excellent friend, the Pre.«ident of Bowdoiu. and
the substitute moved bj* my friend of the Ban-
gor H'hig, show plai'nly the difference that
exists in the ranks of , the llepub-
lican Partj'. This difference existing, what
shall lie done about it 1 Shall onenian be com-
pelled to swallow the opinions of the others f
Shall not each have the libertv to cherish
his own i Mr. Lincoln used to s,ij- about tlie
matters of administration that he was often
compelled to do as the old farmer in
Illinois, who, when he could not grub
the .stump or burn it. just quietly plowed
around it. I am opposed to both these
resolutions, and' I believe I represent the
wishes of a vast majority of this
large convention when 1 move to laj-
them both on the table, and then
have a direct vot« ou the resolutions
reported from the committee. I am known by
perhaps every member of this convention to en-
tertain very decided vit^ws on the Southern (pies-
tion, but I ana just as ready to vote against
a resolution condenming the President's policy
as I am to vote against one approving it. ^\ e can-
not take action either way without ofl'ending good
men. and creating needless hearl-biii'nings and
dissensions. We can all unite on a strong plat-
form, embracing the issues which we hold in
common. We can all rally as one man to the'
support of Gov. Connor. Wo can be
tolerant of each other's opinions.
We can all remember and adopt the old theo-
logical maxim, which teaches, " Iti essentials
there should be unity : in non-es.«entials
liberty ; in all things cilaritj*." [Ureat and
prolonged applause.] The arguments urged for
the adoption of s resolution approving the
Southern policj* do not seem to be convin-
cing. On the other hand, we are told that it
is past recall, utterly irrevocable, and do as we
may, it is fixed beyond the power to reverse.
Then why bring it hither and demand our
opinion on it as though it were a
matter of practical administration ( On
the other hand, we are told that the policy
is an experiment. " The experiment will cer-
tainly be tried, regardless of anything we maj*
say here to-day for it or against it. Let us then
leave it alone. Let us make a proclamation
of our faith in the Kepublican princi-
ples and show a solid front against our
ancient foe, the Democratic Party. To force
either of the pending resolutions upon the con-
vention is to bring hither a sword. I beg the
convention to hearken to me while I speak in
the interest of peace, and to sustain me in the
motion, which I now formally submit, that both
resolutions lie upon the table.
As Mr. Blaine closed, it was perfectly evident
that he had the convention very largely with
him. Mr. (^Hiamberlain'B resolution was further
urged by Hon. V. A. Farwell and Gov. A. P.
Morrill, and the position of Senator Blaine
was sustained by Hon. D. P. Davis and
others. Both resolutions were laid upon
the table by a rising vote of 4 to I,
and the resolutions, as reported by the commit-
tee, were adopted. These resolutions caniiot
but be regarded as a condemnation of President
Hayes' policy, for they distinctly admit that the
States of South Carolina, Florida, and Lotiisiana
were carried by the Republicans at both the State
and national elections in NoTember, 1876. It
cannot be denied that the convention was
strougl}- ox>sosed to both Ihe Southezn and civil
the committee, and he has never led his partj-
to defeat It is understood ihat the resolutions
adopted were the embodiment of .his views.

Richmond, Va., Aug. i 9.— The State
CVmseri-ative Convention reas.sembled at 9 A.
M. to-day. A number of resolutions were intro-
duced relative to the public tlebt, all of which
were referred to the Committee on Resolutions.
A majority of the resolutipns favored the pay-
ment of the puhlic debt, but every, proposition
looking to increased taxation was received with
hisses from all parts of tho house. A
rt-solntion complimentinc President Hayes
for his wise and conservative course to-
ward the South was offered. A delegate
asked if it was in order to move to lay the re.so-
lution on the table, bat the Cliair. decided that
ijnder the rules it went to |the Committee on
Rcsolutioms.' A resolutioi^ declaring that
the public school sy.stem was bur-
densome, and should lie abolLshed,
was greeted with hisses. A resolu-
tion declaring that the convention should pro-
ceed at (.n^'o to nominate a candidate for Gov-
ernor elicited a warm discussion between
members ■who were for immediate ac-
tion and those who favored the adoption
of a platform which should embrace the
question of the -public debt. The members
who opposed an immediat« nomination were
friends of Gen. Mahone, who is recognized as
the repudiation candidate, and they are deter-
mined that, if they can prevent it.no nomination
shall be made until a pUjtform iS' adopted,
so that if it is not acceptable , to them they can
bolt and run their candidate las an independent.
The report of the Committlso on Credentials
was then made. It seatp and unseats a
number of delegates, and , the debate over
the . rejwrt was <iuit6 spirited. It wa.s
finally adopte<l without amendment, being a
triumph for the auti-Mahoneltes. A n».solution
Vas adopted limiting all si>ceches to five min-
utes, except in »'a.ses of uomiiuitin£r speeches,
which were allowed ilO minutes; The dLscu:;-
siou of the iiuesiion of making immedi-ste nom.
inatioTis was resumed, and after a number of
speeches file pending iiuestion was ordered and

the conveiition adjourned till 4 P. M. ^
Immediately upon reas-senibling the Chair an-
nounced that nominations for Governor were in
order. Hon. John W.. Daniel, of Ljnchburg,
was nominated bj- Col. John IE. Penn. of Patrick
Countv. jn a pointed speech of five minutes.
Judge' John F. Lay, of Kichmond, followi-d,
nominating Hon. P. W. M. Halliday, of Win-
chester, in a forcible and telling speech, which
was interrupted l>y frequent bursts .of ap-
plause. Uen. William Pajne, of Fauquier
County, occupied the full time in presenting the
claims' and advocating the nomination of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee. John S. Wise, of Richmond,
nominated (jen. William Malone. In the course
of his spedch he denied th^t he representeil a
repuiliation candidate. His platfonh was
retrenchment, economy, and reform and no in-
crease of taxation ; and such [was the platform of
tten. 3Iahone, who was as far from being a
Kcpudiationiet as any man 'in the Common-
wealth. Dr. Sewell. of Gloucester, next nomi-
nated Gen. M'. B. 'faliafered. after which the
convention took a recess uiitil S o'clock.
The convention reassembled at .*s o'clock.
Several speeches were made seconding the nom-
ination of v.'unous candidates. Mr. Holbrook,
of Wvthe t'ountv, nominated Gen. William
Terrv."
The Committee on Be.solutionS was In session
all daj-, but no conclusion was arrivf^i at. The
various conflicting opinion on the question of
public debt are hard to harmonize. The committee
occupied all day in determining whether a
platform with a plankj concerning the
State debt should • be \ adopted or not.
It is thought that tljey will recommend
in their report the payment of interest on the
public debt, and refer tho matter to tho Legis-
lature for adjustment.
Speeches seconding the nomination of various
candidates consumed the time of the convention
until 10 P. M., when ballotjing commenced, re-

CoLniBCS, Oliio, Aug. 9. — Circulars have
been issued in this city calling a meeting of
working men for next Saturday to nominate a
full county ticket, including two members of
the Legislature. It is proposed to discuss the
proprietj- of co-operating with working men
throughout Ohio as to the State Convention to

Boston, Aug. 9. — The reunion of Fns*
.sellers to-day at Downer's Landing, a rural re.
treat some 10 miles down the harbor, was not
so important or significant a gathering as'the
preliminary notices of the event had led the pub-
lie to expect- Owing perhaps to f h« unfavorable
weather— for it has rained hero at intervals
since daylight — or to some other causa, the
attendance was little more than half what was
anticipated, and the absent^jes included «tme ol
the most notable of those to whom invitations
had been extended, and whose presence would
have added materially to the interest of the oo-
ca-sion. Wendell I'iiillips, for example, neither
came to the feast nor sent his regret.s. The
same Ls tnie of Ralph Waldo Emerson. The
Quaker poet, "Wlnttier, who promised to be pres-
ent, sent in his stead at the last moment, a tele-
gram, of wnich the following is a copy :
Dax\^ks, Aug. 9.
Greeting to the Men of '4 8 ; Tlianks to a Di^-ine
Providence which has t-aabled us to see the end f.-jr
wliich.we labored 30 years a^o. Tlie !<la«e Stat<»s are
free. Let us draw them closer t<» us by agenenm^
confidence and kind ofBces. JOITN' G. WHTTTlIiR.
There appears to have liceu some misappre-
hension here, as elsewhere, as to tho occa.sion
and object of a reunion of the Froe-wiileTs o^
lS4Sjust at this time. On my way dow-n la
>he landing this morning. I encoontered on.
board the steamer a portlj-looking gentleman,
whohadtheappearanceof l<eingoneof the solid
men of Bc-iton, and taking it for granted
that he must be goinz to thereunion, I ventured
to a.sk him what was the object of the gathering •
of Free-soilerf there to-day. He replied that ha
had no personal knowledge regarding it ; that
he was going to Hingham, where he reside<l,
but said he, " It is easy to see what it is for.
It is an initiatory step toward tho
formation of a n.w " party. Thei-e are
a great many men in both parties who think it ■
is about time to come to some agreement on,
something and to act togetlier. and as there ap-
pears to he no verj' well defined issues bctweiaa
the-old parties just now, tltey tliiuk it a good
time to start a new one." "' Do j-ou think the
prospect good for a new parly 1" 1 askeiL
"No; I ha%-6 no faitU in it myself. The
Democrats will never give up their party name.
A few leaders might be willing to, b\rt tho
masses won't. They would have nothing left.
All their .strength lies iu thi'ir name. They
haven't had any principles for IG years, Init tho
name of Democrat takes with the ignonant and
especially -with the f. .r -iBn-born citizens, who-^j
votes give them most of their strength at th,*
North, and they are not going to part with it."
'■ I see that Cliarlcs Francis .\d)iin.s is going t«
preside nt the Free-soil gathering." " So I .see.
Weil, it anj-bo<l\' stands in need of a new par:>-
it is Adams, and I imagine ho is the cet'er-up
of this reunion. He must bo sick of the De-
mocracy by this time, and tirc-d of the riile he
has been plaj-ing since the iiloction of chief
mourner to Sam Tilden."
The above conversation shows tho prevailing
impression with regard to the object of the Free-
soil gathering among those who were not in-
vited ; b-jt, however level-headed my IBngham
friend may be on the subject of the Democratic
Party, he was certainly entirely in the-WTOug in
his surmises as to the object of tha
reunion at Downer's Landing. It had not, and
was not intended to have, en\- political signifi-
cance whatever, or anj- reference to current
politics or existing parties. It was siinplj- -i
social gathering of old friends who fought the
Free-soil battles 'M years ago. when,
as they say, political contents required
more courage ' Than thej- do nov.-. It
was gotten tip by Mr. Samuel Downer, a petro-
leum millionaire, who was an active Free-soiUr
in his day. and who conceived the idea of briug-
inc about a reunion of his old fri»;nd3 and c<'m-
rades at his elegant country retreat at Downer's
Landing. Ho has spent larsre sums of money
in beautifj-iug tlie place iinnie<l after him,
laying out an extensive ganleu and erecting
numerous buildings fr.c tiro amusement and en-
tertainment of visitors, and he n.-iturariy wished
to gather around him his old Free-soil friends,,
■who helped him fight the Lord's battles :ll»
years ago, and let them witness the pro.sperity
of the righteous. The reunion had ju.st this
significance and no more. ■
Nearly all the persons in-vited ■wpre Massa-
chusetts men, and friends of y\x. JJowner.
The larger portion were from Lynn, Salem, and
Worcester. Only thr>« wore. present outside of
Slassachusetts — George B. Fogg and -■Vmos
Tuck, of New-Hamoshire, and John Wins-
low, of New-York. Not ^ the *,lighl-
est allusion was mathe ' bj- any of
the speakers to current poEtic?, of either
rarties, but the talk was reminiscences
of the Free-soil movement of ,1 S4IS. and tho
men engaged in it» .illusions to' the present, it;
was intimated, were more cai^efully avoided
than they "would hare l>een b ad not f.'harl.^.s
Francis Adams occupied the chair. It was
feared that his corns might" ba truilden on. and
as there were onlj' three outjof the IIKI Fne-
soilers present who now stand with him,
in the Democratic ranks, it ■was thought best to^
ignore current politics enrire'.j-. The speechL-.s!
and reminiscences were exc.^e iinfflj' dull totktise^
who irere not pHrticijtat^jRi in the events re-
counted, but Ml-. Adams did succeed in addini^
a new item :.i the political liistorv of the conn-'
trj- in the shape of a confidential letter KTitteu
to' him bv Martin Van Bunen-on the. eve of tha
Bufr.ilo Free-soil Convention of 1S48.
The guests arrived at Downer's Landing in
s^'attering squads bj' hourlj* boats from Boston,
the last squad not reaching there till 13 P. M.
Thev were received by Mr. Downer, and escorted
to the clam-bake pavilion in his garden by a
band of music, playing "SAuld Lang Sj-ne"
Those who arrived earlier spent the tiiue in
inspecting the beautiful grounds and buildAi;^s.
talking over old times, and sin^nng the " Battle
Hymn of Freedom," which they said wassifag
with great effect by the Hutchinson
family at the Buffalo .' Con^vention '2i*
years ago to-day. About, 2::}<) P. M. the
party, numbering about • 100, sat down
to a feast of clams, cooked in vsirious styles,
with sundry incidentals. Amon;; those present

ADDRESS OF WELCOME BY SAMUEL
DOWNEB.
IMt Fkienm and Fkllow-Feeb-soilkbs of
1848 : I bid yoa. a most heartfelt and fervent wel-
come. I feel, as I also believe you feel, that tiiose of
lus who, either as memban at the pximary saeet-
ings, as del^egates to the Btftfalo Conrentiozi,
or who early aected with the party, and
who remaned faithful to the movement nn-
tH 1850, need no other bond to make
nff welcome at this meeting, tbim to know we were
of thom. [Applanae.] "Wlfh your permission, I
wish to make a few pfelbniaaTy remarlcs, andwia
th^n yield the chair to one whom it wiH
rive yoa more plcasnre to listen to than
10 me. And nere, Irt me observe,
this .company wj» invited to meet, with
the sole object of indnlging in pleasant remtttiscenees
of the past, for I know when Free-aoilen moA, 29
years after the formation of the i>arty at Buffalo,
when we recollect how fervent and tinited we were,
it cannot be other th*n cheerful and happy. It is
intended to b© infonna], and we anticipate llatening
to those who. 2Q years ap;o, stirred up the ffres of
freedom, when it refjnired some courage and back-
bone to do !«o. To-day we are met to congratulate
ourselves that are living, again clasp each other's
hands in kindly recollecuou of those days ; and to-
day we arc met to call up our tender sympathies in
nifmnr>'.ot tlm departed (freat, who, if brGod's provl-
pence it is ptrmitted ihem to look down upon us, we
know are with ns here in sympathy idso; [Applause.]
A few months ago, when our country wa« in
fonr an<i alarm, growlntt out of the uncertainty
of the PpeaidentiaJf election, I happened into the
officrt of Mr. Eilward L. Pierce, the blosrapher of our
lamented Sumner. (Applaose.) I said to him, as
I meet OUT old Free-soilers In the street thotr patrlot-
iirm is as fervent as ever, bin they hold idl nnds of
Dplnionfi. and I wish we could meet again
and light np those old fires to cheer and
comfort us. He ftaid It wajl aa esceUeat ide*. I
aftprwnrd spoke of it to my friend Frank W. Bird.
The result was this meettnie. (Applause]. And now,
when I look upon these nptoraed faces glowing with
Xhf spirit of 1S48, desiring so-w aa then to know
wher*' true patriotism is pointing and
to follow; when I feel we shall heur voices teHing
us what they think, and warming us with
the old fi-;es, I cannot help sayinz lam a pretty
cute YanKoe to have made for myself the privilege of
opening thia meeting. [Lauchter.] But, g«ntl«neu.
though I hold the position, duu't bo alarmed. I will
not keCTi it lonff. I know niyself too well for that ;
and besides, I have anothor cinise for self -elation.
When 1 wrote the resolutiona at the primary meet-
ine in oh\ Dorchester, which wss to choose delegates
to the BnfTato crmvcntlon, I tried my haad at proph-
ecy. 1 mnst read one to show whether I was a good
prophet or not.
RfantrM, That we retnm out heartfelt thank* to tboae
true patriots, Jadji^ Charity Allen and Hon. Hvary WU-
p-^n. and iht««» of th«* Ohio and Indiana deletratlfins to
I he late convention at Philndflphla who. when frfedom's
voi.-ft W.-W drowD<xi and her .spirit orushed: who, when
po many were silent, or worse th.w silent, raaolutely
P]ramed thf bribe. "We b«-ll<'Te the timt> wilt come when
'both at thiy North and at th«> 5^nth. at tb« East and at tho
WfHt. their names will b*» honored nnd rum«inbe(nsl ;
■when tbo.«^ whr> now censuro artd revllo them will have
sunk into obUxiou.
My friend*. I want to recall reminiRC«nees of two
who were of note in tliose times. 1 do It as an ex-
RTOple to others to do likewise. As I ttand now, I
see plainly, as if a reality. IHnlel Webster. He was
the iro<l of my p*>Htic«l idolatr>-. Ah ! bowfervently
have i listened to his grand constitutional .irguments !
how I have brtmcd at the words of £re«dom he
spoke for man ! AVlien our Prt«-soil Party was first
started, we thought he was whh ns. There are those
of ns who know when the late lamented Stephen C.
Phillips penned the opening address to be de-
livered at Fenenil Ilall, that Webster re-
viced it and interlined what b« thoo^t was
more appropriate. Alas ! alas : thev were his last
e3^orts for nnnian free<Iom. We know that that
eveniug he '^ent to NeW^Vork, instead of coming
dr.wn to Faneail Hall, We know how his friends at
BuiTalo sought his tiomination to the Presidency, not
on new pledge!", but from his known past recordf;
artcT the Louiiuatiou of Van Boreu and Adiuns, bo^^
bitter he was to^ns. to Vai\Burett, and to Taylor.
^^ •* know it qll culminated in Ws 7th of Maisfc
speech of IM'tO, and we know the South, which he
eouricd sopliartl, begrudgeti bim even ftpoor compli-
Biontarj* vote. My frtonds. ff Daniel Webster erred
sgninst tho record of hij» life nnd the convictlona of
hl-s conscience, grievously did ho juiy the "penalty.
r^i ns draw a veU over that portion of
his life. Ob! that be bad died a few
Venn sooner or had lived a few years
loTi^er. The first gnn of 5*nmter would have set
him right. He was my teacher, and from him I
earned the principles of constitutional liberty.
Pexce to his n.-shes. ,
I have but one other name to mention, and-then I
will clope — Horace Mson. {Applause.) It w«»-4ny
happy lor to know him intimately ; most intimately.
He was the mo^t self-sar-rifinni; man I ever knew.
Forty years ago. I re.'^ided in tho same bouse
witJi him, and our roonw were adjoining. It was at
the f'omnencement of his eduentionat movement.
How well I remember hi» intense laboia, extending
into the early hours of the morning, and the vast cor-
rr*ponden'-e ho maintaineil. Tlil^j be endured for 12
years without complaint, and it waa only when
his snecesior wm to be appointed that he
told the I^egLslRture tbat^ an office and
a clerk were needed, and tUey were readily granted.
Wuen the mantle of the-'"old man eloquent" fell
npoii him. by tb-j spontaneous-Wish of the people, I
remember the remark he made to me. He
Miid : "I shiiU Huun iasne my twelfth annual
report to tl;v Bn.ard of Education. I think
1 h;tve lai*| the fountlntlon of the educational
movement thst has benn so dear to me, and 1 think
if I ^ve pI.^<_■e to others they now can do more
th.in I cnn in carrying out my plana. I
Thi.-ik if I accept this nomination I may
flo pom** good in the causes of cMiucatlon. tem-
^<^mn''^:•, «n*I nnti-slnvi-ry : and whenever! can strike
n tlovir io7 either of them I will do It; but my
sapirstif.n.H for jrolitical life are over. I shall never
fii;tin be a party mnn In a political sense." We
know the result. He was almost unanimously
rhnsen. Uo did not enter often into debate,
mt when he did speak how effective it was.
He wa-s much consulted by all parties, and
many were the anecdotes he told me
r-r' coMv^n>.-.tions with the then fire-enting Sonthem-
ers. His election to the second term was made nndep
very different circumstances. Webster's 7th of
March speech struck a deep and painful wound, and
it was yet fresh. How Imrn and now successfuUv ho
rouibatre^l it. Tho old AVhig element 'was
lan;p in his district, and the whole Whig
element of the State was arrayed against
him. You all remember him taking' the stump.
planting him.self on the broad ground :/" I iiave only
done what I promised to do, to .strike a bloui: agAlmTt
slavery whenever it should array itself against f^-
dnm. " You know of his triumphal re-election.
Before iJio. expiratiim of his term he was
nominated nn tiovemor of Massacbusetts, but the
Free-soil element had not then got Into tlie as-
cend;int. .,I>f ore the next election he had received
nn invitation to become the President of Antioch
Colle*' . where he remained until his death.
The i-ollcpA was not what it had been repre-
sented to him. . It was in debt, with Its means
o! snpnort already exhatisted In Investments. In
fact. I ttiink its foundation was in a land speculation.
He saidto rac. consulting me : *■ I have seen much of
the West ; they are young and vigorous,
and wiU Iiereaftcr play tho important
Eart in tl*e destinies of our country,
find the young are inclined to skepticism in religion,
and the old to bigotry. The fTiristian sect has
planted itself on the Bible as the foundation, the in-
terpretation of which is left to each one's
individnal judgment. I can stand on that^
and I liope can give broader and
higher \iewB iiian now exist." You know he entered
on Sundays the palpit, and had large congregations
from all the country around. Ihimig the whole of
his remaining life he struggled with their poverty
and with their little di.isensions. At tho
time of his death the college bad been sold
and passM into Unitarian and Christian hands, and.
was out of dpbt. but still poor. His constitution had
become enfeebled, and Mr person much emaciated by
bard and continual work, and be gradnaily sank
under it ; but he continued hia labors to
::jp very end. I do not think he knew
sow worn his svstem was. On the day he died his
3hy>ician told nim he had but a very f ew hotira to
ive. It struck him with much surprise, and h« ques-
:;ot'ed him cioaely. When convinced that it was so,
3e ^niii. " Then I have no time to lose," and calling a
few of th« remaining students — ^for it was vacation
lime — nnd his family around him, he gave them wise
:onnseI. to be tme to their highest convictions and to
rely on a just God. He even went so far as to point out
to the .-(tndents their individual temptations. When
he gotthrt^ngh he said he was fatigued and would
rest, and thus pa.^sed from earth Horae^Iann. He
3ad an intuitive iateneet. wMch abnost
imotmtedto Inspiration- Ha was an httenstiy bard
workor, and many wera the good
trorks for the prisoner, ^^e insane,
and the i^orant that he accompbsheo'; and In the
famili.ir mtercourse, when with those ha lov^ his
wit. his humor, bis acquirements, and his evcEr out-
cropoing benevolence— oh ! how dear he became to
us. His life was a useful oq« and his end a tri-
umphant and happy one.
My friends, I have made these few remarks cm two
individuals whose Uvea stamped themaelTos deep in
my memory. I hope that by those who fol-
low me the strong imprassioiu left on
U^om by our deported Free-soil great men
may be given to us; that our meeting may be
I cheerful and happy one ; and let It be remembered
diat, after the lapse of 'J9 years from our convention,
Lhe slave is free, and to-day the great intereot of us
Ul is to have one country and a firm.

which had been long setting in the dire
permanent establishment of the Institution
slavery as an overruling power in the
ever and aye. Our worthy host
pleased to call upon n\o to preside on
this occasion, for no reason I can imagine, except
that it happened to me to have been call^ to the
same duty on that occasion, 29 years ago. [At that
ttm« he* and I were entitled stiH to be counted among
tho working members of society, but now that
we both are on the verge prescribed in Scr^>ture as
closing all worldly enjoyments, I am led to
tbat he gathers us around him as
ehanee for a good, friendly talk, on<
to fight our battles over ag^dn.
ms to remind you aa briefly aa
what was the state of the country prior to
demonsCratiem at Buffalo was made. From __
of the abort war with Great Britain, in 1815, to tho
year 1821, but a single question of j serous
uaportanee had agitated the people.
2uettion was connected with the
Ion of the territory of Missoi
the union and involved the right of Congre:
nex a con<StioQ to it excluding the instil .
negro slaverv from its borders. This was the first
great battle Jor libertv and it ended in whatjwent by
the nsxae of the Misaonri compromise^ or in
eleazvr terms, a bargain that was ) not a
settlement. Twenty years passed away and St began
to be apparent that the extension of political power,
favored by the Missouri decision, had becoEpe a rul-
ino- principle among the shiveholders, and the entire
policy of the country had been- 'grad-
ually made to bend to the establish-
ment of sn Idol stronger than the
old Imai^ of liberty— the grim idol of slavery —
throatenmg to spread its balefal influence over in-
definite roililons of human beings yet unboi|n. The
first indications of -dissatisfaction with tbis prospect
of the future did noftmake their dppearanca among
the more active and pwunlnent statesmen of tjhe time.
Content with the pOMtion they had gained ty their
public services, theywere not disposed to shake it
by conntenaucingrstATtling prot>lptma It jwas re-
served for a wholly different clasB of the cotimuuity
to enter upon this formidable entei-prise of beanl-
ing the lion in his den. Standing as J we do
now, IndeptfudeiTt and impartial judges of the past,
I am free to say that we owe- a'great debt of nratltmlo
to that small band of courageous men, andjwomen,
tob, who, having no fear of man befcfro their
eyes, and yet con.'wious of the dansj&r that
woidd b«set them front their adoption of a
most unpopular cause, went' on boldly, in tlue face of
malignj^t and dangerous opposition, 'to uphpld with
steady persevenuico the cause of justice, of hi imanity,
and of truth. Many of the heroes and he oines of
that day have passed away from among xt and en-
tered upon their rewnrd ; but a few still r tmain to
enjoy the proud satisfaction of a fnitbful perf irmance
of a basardons duty, recognized by the joint u:clama-
tion of all later generations of miuikind.
But I rau,st hasten vfith my story. For a timethe
slave ix>weT went on. apparently having ita < wu way
without opposition, i St ate after State was cut out
andodmittea to the Union from the territor already
acquired, recoijnizint: slavery, until it was e3 hausted.
Yetthelr power did not quite keep up with t he corre-
sponding progress of the free States, it pras
then tliat the policy wa-s devisetl of acquir-
ing the vast regions exclusively in the S mth and
West, in which it was practicable, to spr< ad their
hateful policy indefinitely. Beginning with the ac-
cession of Gen. Jackson to power. It went o i steadi-
ly, whenever opportunity offereil to t tie lead-
.ers to gain their points, either f» rly, or,
if not fairly. by force or fran d. At
last the community began to' grow slowly
coTwiotn that matters were going wrong. Florida

from the Mexicans through tho expedient of pre-

It became nefies.'uiry to^ carry an electif n of n
proper agent to the Presklencv. To that end it was
not deemed prudent to bring-forward any we l-kno\m

ageia finally pitched upon James K. Polk, a
respectable gentleman from Tennessee once
Speaker of the Hou.«!e. but so little known
that th* story went about, when the new t of his
nomtoation came to th© ears of the parts' in the
Korth, that they first faithfiilly cheered J: [Uies K.

man so well kw>wn to ever>-bodv 'or bin

comparing his name with that of Polk, <i offed at
the poairibiljty of fnlUns to elect their favori e. Yet.
when the election came roTuid lo! and l>ehoi«i I .lauics
K. Polk was chosen. You may ask what was the
reason of this singular change. It ' ras all
becauiw of an answer by Mr." Clay to an inqu irj- from
a number of citizens of Western" Xcw- York, is to his
views of the proposnf to annex Texn«. which lo wroto
so eqntvocTilly that it alienated from him

BkulfaUymanacod IIS to involve an ultima e appeal

no one has ever .'teemed to me so utt srly in-
Oc-fensible a.t this. Ah one of man r zealou! friends
of the cati.se of freedom. I had woi ked my
full share in behalf of Mr. (lay and the W ilgs, not-
withstanding hia equivocal letter, and who n I saw
tho atrocity of the method adopted by t le slavo
party to extend the profit of th ?ir vic-
tory, I fnlly cxj)«»ctcd that it would be met
with a corresponding, unflinching reslitanc r by tb**
united efi'orta of their opponents. You may judge of
our surprise when we found that there wa ^ n»i In-
tention to regard these questions as a party matttcr
at alL Eveiy memltor was to vote as he thought
beit. Some of them actqally voted 'or the
war. From that inst.int my own at achment
to this organization, so weakened, that I decldfd to
decline any further the fru.st which had btien liber-
a^jy extended to me in tho Mav»arhu«et s l<egw-
h»tore for several years. Neither was I
alone In holding these sentiments. As tho
policy - of the slaveholders went on many
persons of grent weigiit of character seemed
dissntisfie^l with the utter imlifference mani e'^tcd by
the Wbigs. Th*t tone of their new.snapers pus abso-
lutely servile, end the spirit of oppositior became
completely hushed. A few of ns. after 'onsulta-
tion together, decided that we con Id not
continue silent in thi^ emergency. Tho clief diffl-

ultimately doridt>d to arcept the off ?r made
to us and to enter nTKm the ex jeriment.
To that end a contribution of money was to be made.
Pr. Palfrey agreed to aasunio the responsi )ilrty for
one-fifth of the sum required: Mr. Phillips and ray-
self, respectively, took two-fifths, while the other
two men, less favored by fortime. pledged tl lemselves
to make up for tho difference iu earnest am i.ngorous

Party in the State of Massachtisetts. Of all the men
engaged in this primitive undertaking. d«<p frate as it
seemed, no singlo one contribnted mofe to its
success than John G. Palfrey. An^ from
his pecuniary assistance, which was large in
ita proportion to hLs means, he began the pampsign
with that very able series of papers on elajre power
which were afterward conecte<l and circulated, pro-
ducing great effect on opinion wherever Uimt went.
[At this poiBt 3lr. F. W. Bird row afad said :

Need I mention the nam6 of Charles Allen,
whose eloquent appeal to the people of Worcester
Ctmnty, of whom ne was the chosen repreiBentat ive,
laid a permanent foundation in that regioii in favor
of fre«iom that has remained solid down tq this day ?
But the time warns me that I must be Ifrief. We
fought th* batttle of freedom In tho Whig Party
with various fortunes, untQ the time carnqfor a new
election to the Presidency. The ! question
then came up, what shall we Ho? We
had not separated from the Whii Party,
nor did we mean to separate. unless we
should clearly see that the prindplesTprofessed
by all In common were to be d^jTiborately
abandoned on occasions by the greater num-
ber. The nominations of the respective parties
were about to be made. The .Administration of
Praaldant Polk had ended with a triomphaut war,
attended by an enormous accretion of newj territory
for the benefit of slavery. Of that war G^n. Taylor
had been the successful imide ; hence hia popularity
had grown in proportion. Yet the factj was in-
disputable that he was a eitize^ of a
slave State, and a proprietor of laraa estates
on which be kmpt large ntunbers of negroesln slavery.
How then, could he be mode acceptable td any truo
friends' of freedom. On the other hand, the Demo-
cratic Party, responsible for the making of the war,
and pledged to a policy favoriDg th© e.^nsion of
alavery in the territory aeqtiired, broughit forward
6eo. Lewis Caae as a faithful exponent of their ea-
taUiahed policy. In tills emergency, whai. was our
eonat«matlon when we fotmd that the ^'Hblg oppo-
nent of Gen. Cats waa to be Qen. Taylorj the man
of tjy other* who bad, by his I victories,
done the meat of all to
adaisirteatinb— a larga alaTeholder,

f T*>
Cass woald be giving a aanctlon to the policy of the
WW, ^ich wo abboTod ; to vote for Gen. Taylor
would be glorifying the agent who had done ao much
to promote the remlta wmch we held in dread. There
was one aXtemaUve, utd that was a resort to a
third ncHuInatioD. It could not hope to be successful
or to-be mora than a soleimi prateM against the ten-
dency of both parties. Yet. after a care-
ful survey of the ground, there seemed to
be reasonable cause for believing that our
action, whatever it might be, W9uld have no
small effect In consolidating tlie party, and might
overcome a resistance in time if not then. The only
question of -difficulty was whom we should nominate
aa our , candidate. On the one side there had
been a considerable accession la the State of
New- York from the Democratic nomination of
Gen. Cass ; on the other almost equal diegtist among
the Whig moderate men at tho nomination of Gen.
Taylor ; and this feeling pointed verv distinctly to
the substitution of Judge John McLean,
of Ohio. For one, I mtist acknowledge
that I was much exercised at the
time by this unforttmate turn that these elections
had taken. To vote for Gen. Taylor was flying in
the face of the principles we had solemnly put for-
ward, and a resort to Gen. Cass was equally out of
the question. How it might be ^with Van Buren. we
cotild not tell. In any event, it seemed indispensable
to take steps to assemble another convention. A
very considerable number of persons of influence
gave favorable responces to the proposition, and the
requisite steps wore tkken to carry it into effect.
Bnjffalo, in New- York, was fixed upon as the
place, and tlM 0th day of August as
the time for the assembling of the
new combination. JIany people, particularly in the
Ktate of 3Ta"*8achusetts, had been much roused by the
e\-ents which had taken place, and as a consequence a
f nil delegation was sent to'Buffalo, embracing many
of tho most promising yoimg men grow-
ing up" in the' State. In the district
in which I Uvod the meeting was
pleased to name me as one of the delegates, and I
cbeerftilly obeyed the call. In a few days I found
myself in the midst of a multitude assembled for
that creat meeting. There have been many such aa-
sembtages since, far larger in numbers, and perhaps
more skillfni In modes of operation, but for plain,
downright honesty of purpose to effect high ends,
without a whisper of bargain and sale. I doubt
whether any similar one has been its superior either
before or since. '
The first duty after our arrival was to consult with
our brethren of the other States respecting the
selection of a candidat-e to represent our views, as
opposed to those entertained by both the older par-
ties. I soon discovered that a nomination would
certainly be made, and tho selection of 4he man
would 1m» narrowed down between Judge McLeau
and Martin VanBuren— one a Whig, the other a
I>emocrat. The question was which of the two waa
to be preferre<L His party character was of little
consequence. I think I have already said that my
own inclinations tended to the preference of
Judge Mcl-eun, and to that end T applied
at once to the delegates from Ohio for
concerte*! action in his behalf. The cluef person in
that highly respectable delegation waa Mr. S. P.
Chase, a promising statesman, whose later career
is familiar to you alL and to him I wa.»4 re-
ferred for antbentie information of Judge Mcljcan's
position. You may jndce of my surprise
when I was informed that the Judge was severely
trieii on the anxious seat, \rith a strong avondon to
l>e pitted agnin.st any rival candidate. The effect of
this wet blanket over our hopes you can readily
imagine. For some such emei^ency as now pre-
Beuted itaolf. I had not. been altogether
uni>repared. In the event of tlio retreat, of Judge
SIcLeau it waj< obvious that tbe friends'of Mr. Van
Bnrcn would nccensarily. by their tuiion and orirantza-
ti(ni, have the advantage over any other public man
whom we could persuade ,to stand, and these wo
could count on our fingers' ends. Not
entirely blind to this possibility I had alrca<ly in mv
firivate capacity tnken a sieo on my own resiwnsibil-
tr. to opou the way for this possible alternative.
On the llJth of July— that ic, three
weeks previous — ^I had addresEod a confidential
letter to ilr. Van Buren, reciting the nattire of
our movement and the encouraging symptoms iu his
Presidential career, and calling upon him lo give me
such an explicit answer as I might have it in my
power to use in his favor In case of an em-
ergency which I anprnhended might take,
p!«(*e. Martin Van Buren has long since
passed sway and lus confidential letter in answer to
mine can never do him any harm if it should now go

This letter had been received on the 2Sth of July.
Althotigh Romewhat wordy, it substantially ratified
and confirmed his former declarations and his policy,
which prw-tically cost him the Democratic nomina-
tion. Thnt went to Orcn. Cass. Thero was
then nothinz loft to us to choose but to
raise up Martin Van Bnrcn a.s the most
coorageous man of high po.sition iji the two parti*^
wiJlinc: then to hold tip our standard. His clear
answer to the invitation sealed the bond,
and from the 19th of August, ix-iri. the
great party dates the organization which
through weal and through woe, at last carried to a
triumphant close a straggle for a mighty piinciple.
which, for its length and peverltv. Is chtitlea to claim
a high and honorable ranlc In the annals
of the world. , As for Massachusetts, you
all doubtless remember the result of that
election which forced an entering wedge into the
Whig column that ultimately effected its downfall.
In contrast with this struggle all later questions sunk
into insiffnificance. Xjet us rejoice that we now live
in the full enjo>'ment of all the blessings that attend
good gbvemmeut, peace, freedom, and justice, en-
vironed by plenty' and supported by law.
I have, 1 fear. Mr. Downer, entrenched much too
far in the festivities of this occasion, and deprivetl
your guests of tho privilege of bearing the experienco
of the others whom I see around me. all of them
more or less a.isociated with the event you havo
been pleased to celebrate to-day.
The Chairman then introduced Judge E. R.
Hoar, of \Vorce.*«ter, prefacing the introduction
bv a brief history of the difficulty between
Massachusetts aiid South Carolina which led to
the stending of Mr. Hoar's father to represent
Massachusetts' grrievances to the Palmetto
State- Mr. Hoar spoke very briefly, saying
he wonld not take up the time of the audience
in rehearsing the events of 30 years ago. He
was happy, however, for the first time in his
life to ' I bo able to pay a humble
tribute tcj Martin Van.Boren. Many of the
Free-soilers of 1848 were sorely disappointed
at his nomination for the Presidency. But one
of his nei;;hbors took comfort to himself by
saying that he believed there waa one good
thing about Van Buren. He always stuct to
the cause he espoused for. th© time being, and
when he sent the spoils to the voters, the voters
paid Vm. [Laughter.]
After Judge Hoar, snort speeches were made
by his brother, Senator Hoar, Hon. Am^s Tuck,
of New-York; Stephen Phillips, of Salem, and
Frank W. Bird, of Walpole, All of them were
devoted to historical reminiscences of the organ-
ization of tlie Free-soil Party, and the event, that
led to it, of which the chief was the annexation
of Texas. The reunion closed with the reading
of an original poem pertinent to the occaskm
by Thomas Drew.

From Our Own ComtpendeiU.
GruKOFvo, Monday, July 23, 1877.
Most people have only two horns to their
dilemmas; I am particularly afSleted with
three, and unless I poesessed the quality of
nbiqtdtonsneas claimed by Sir Boyle Boach for
his bird, I cannot come to a perfectly satisfac-
tory solution. If 1 could be in several places at
the same time, I have before me : A visit as
bearer of dispatches to the Kussian head-
quarters somewhere in Bulgaria ; an excursion
to the Roumanian head-quarters at Plana and
Kalafat, or to stay where I am, to watch the
bombardment of Rustchuk, which, after several
postponements, is positively advertised for this
week; " weather permitting and the flies not
being too bad," might have been added by the
manager of the performance. Now, it is very
hard to come to a decision and be certain of not
putting one's foot in it by running after shad-
ows. In Bulgaria I should en^^he inestlmshle
privilege of gazing upon the aUbb features of
the Grand Duke and of seeing, or rather hear-
ing, the results of the operations of the armies
of Holy Russia, for no correspondent whom I
have yet met has ever got much further ; with
the doughty warriors of Carol I., I
should listen to a vast amount of grand-
iloquent buncombe, witness a great deal
of martial swagger, and then record the
triumphal passage of tho Danabe by the Rou-
manian heroes after the Russian column from
Kikopolia shall have cleared the way and made
the operation nice and eaaj. It is true that one
of the Prince's aides de camp, who was de-
tached on duty with the Grand Duke, has come
over with permission to his sovereign from his
imperial guardian to go ahead, but I don't think
that, unaided, these people will do much against
■Widdin, except continue their harmless can-
nonade. The men are doubtless brave enough,
and so I suppose are the officers, and their
Princeling locks neither courage nor determina-
tion ; but no one has hod any experience, and
there is no one to tell the staff whaf to do, and
the troops feel the ignorance of their leaders,
and so are wanting in that confidence which is
necessary to insure success. Here I am pretty
certain that something must happen soon,
although I have no dednite information, and it
is all a chance when I or any one else drop upon
the truth in time to be present at the perform- '
ance. I know a lot of military swells who are
most courteous and affable in ordinary circum-
stances, but who take refuge ^vith a bland and
childlike smile in enigmatical generalities as
soon ag you ask a leading question. "When
will you begin the bombardment? Do you
fancy it will be to-morrow F' and my
neighbor at the tabU d'h'tfr, & mae:-
niflcent Russian General, all mustache
and decorations, looks grave, and then, after a
moment's axixious thought as to wliether he will
commit himself, replies: "Possibly; although
it may not take place before Tuesday or
Wednesday ; perhaps, indeed, not before next
week." It Is the tim diVir/ ^HoA liVir .' "^Tio
knows I God knows I'' of the Turks in another
form. Indeed, there is a ttixt^ de precaution, for.
except as to the preci-so town, the objective ot
their movements is a mere comedy secret, tol*4*t)o in the neighborhood, andlor hom^dld the
xMiwiKjk sMamhBr about bte mb
to the audience, hut by an ingenious fiction
supposed to be concealed from the other actors
on the stage. Correspondonts are forbidden to
telegraph anything to their newspapers, yet
the countrj- swarms with the enemy's spies and
sympathizers, and it tho Turks only were as
clever to profit by as they are to obtain informa-
tion, thcj- would never be caught unprepared.
Now, while I am awaiting the ri.se of the cur-
tain, I shall endeavor to improve tho shining
hour by e.xamiuing such of the Russian ar-
rangements as are open to insi>ectlon. So far
sus 1 have seen they need not fear plagiarism,
for, if not bad, they are at least confusing, ac-
cording to generally preconceived military no-
tions. Let us, for politenes.s' sake, call
them original, and proceed to their description.
Their camps are irregularly pitched, with
apparently no regard to the prrjxiraity of
wood and water, and as. filthy and foul smilllng
as a Itulgarian or Servian village ; their ord-
nance and commissary stores are piled up pro-
miscuous ly by the siHe of the railway tracks,
with no other cover than' pieces of canvas,
— not oven tarpaulins — exposed on two
sides at lea.*^ to sun, wind, and rain,
with here and thero heaps of rotten,
broken biscuit and piles of moldy bread ; no
sentinels are jjlaced at the springs and wells, so
that the former are soon trampled into quag-
mires and the latter are pumped dry ; the one
line of rail bv which their heavy supplies are
fetched from bucharest, is so i>&autifully man-
aged that it is nearly always lifoeked. so that,
what with troop and pas.5enger i rains, baggage-
wagons, ambulances and trucks carrying horses
and siege gims, the journey, ordinarily an affair
of a little over two hours, not infrequently is
prolonged to seven — a very serious delay if a
sudden concentration of troops and material
were necessary. But their triumph is their Sub-
sistence Department, and the arrangements
h.->re are so entirely without parallel in the his-
tory of any other — even Russian — campaign,
that they merit more than a passing
notice. Tho Russians affect to bo de-
lighted with its working, but the great
eagemes.s, so unlike his usual reticence, of my
Russian General to explain its beauties anil
insist upon its advantages, looks more like an
effort at an apology for the endless delays and
confusion, apparent even to the most casual
observer. Formerly there was a regular com-
missariat, and the subsistence of the Army was
intrusted to regular officers of the Government ;
at present, this important service is entirely in
the hands of a " victualing firm," acting as
commission merchants. " It must be readily
understood" — I am quoting my Russian Gen-
eral-r-" that our Quartermaster Department
was obliged to make certain innovations, for
the circnmstances and conditions of the present
war are entirely different from those of any
preceding European campaigns. Nowhere
el.se is there a line of defense so long and so
well protected by nature as that of the Danube ;
the Army was obliged, in its march toward the
actual zone of operations, to pass through a
countrj' sparsely peopled, where the lines of
transjiortation are indifferent, and where the
principal element of the Russian soldier's i a-
tions, rye fiour, is not obtainable. Our railway
rolling stork csnnot be u.sed upon the narrow-
gauge tracks of the Roumanian lines, so that a
transshipment of all the stores was necessary
as soon as they reached the frontier at
Imgheni, whereas the German Intend-
ance could bring everything from
the centre of Germany to beneath the walls of
Paris in 1871 without a change of carriages.
Besides, aU the railroads in Eoumania have but
a single track, which is insufficient for the
transportation of the supplies of an army of
several • hundred thousand men. Before the
Pruth was crossed a convention with Roumania
was a necessary formality, and tnis was a mat-
ter of serious difficulty in order to avoid wound-
ing the natural susceptibilities of a friendly
people. But this was a mere detail ; the r^al
obstacles to an advance became more formidable
as the operations progressed in the heart of a
devastated country, among a starving popula-
tion, decimated by epidemics, and almost desti-
tute of all railway eommuiiication. Naturally,
in such conditions the question of revictualing
the Army became singularly complicated, and it
became imperative at' any price to invent some
system adapted to these exceptional circum-
stanc*s for which no precedents existed. Lo-
cal resources could not he taken into considera-
tion ; many articles of first necessity, particu-
larly rye flour, miust be brought from Russia ;
immense means of transportation must be
found, and due allowance must be made for the
inevitable delays of this transportation. In
this situation it was impossible to make use
of the ordinary methods of giving contracts for
the supply of stores that have been successfully
employed during times of peace. It is
tme that the underbidding of the various con-
tisetoTs presented certain advantages to the de-
Bartmest, bnt titers i* a rast amormt of red
tape in the adjnlslatratlan, a mnltitaile of f oi^
maUties to be gone through, which would have
delayed the operations, and as de]>y^ might be
fatal, the question of economy waa made en-
tirely a secondary consideration. The contracts
signed with the aforesaid ' firm' do not conse-
quently flx any price to the contractors, who are
only obliged to deliver a certain quantity of
stores, of a certain quality, at such times and
places as may be designated by the Intendance.
Their profits consist in a regular commission
paid to them over and above the first cost price
of the articles furnished."
Now, this may be very Bstisfaetory to the
members of the "firm." which is a vast asso-
ciation of Russian, Polish, and German Israel-
ites, who are simply coining money. What
their commission is I cannot say. bnt some of
the little men who act as sub-contractors have
theirs at the rate of 2 per cent, per diem in the
article of bread alone, and I know several who
with an original capital of 10,000 francs have
made nearly 250,000 francs since the 1st of
May, 1877. The average movement of carts
along the roads exceeds 2,000 daily ; people
are offering from 50 to fJO francs for the
hire ot a wagon drawn by oxen, and even atthat
price cannot obtain a sufficien^number for the
wants of the soldiers, with whom the eccentric
management of the subsistence department
makes it either a feast or famine. The column
which fought so gallantly at the taking of Niko-
polis had been without food for 24 hours,. and
as the army gets into the interior it would be
in danger of absolute starvation if the Turks
had pluck and Intelligence enough to make a
raid on the enemy's long and uniuanageable
convoys.
May I venture on a little bit of scandal t It
is not strategetics, but then one cannot always
talk shoj), and I am sure that at least my lady
readers, if I am so fortunate as to have any, are
tired of hearing about soldiers and cannon and
concentrations and movements and operations
and Krupp's and shrapnell — tottjourg perdrix
disgu-sted even the Grand Monarque. Six weeks
ago all the dandies of Bucharest waxed eloquent
over the beauty and grace of a charming wom-
an who rode through their .•suburbs at the head
of a splendid regiment of Uhlans. Was she or
was she not the legitimate spouse of it« gallant
Colonel ? Nobody knew or really cared, although,
Bucharest being gossipy by nature and educa-
tion, the subject was freely and warmly dis-
cussed, and the conclusion arrived at,
thot as Colonel X. gave her his name,
and did not look like a person to
be trfled with, it ■would be safer to give her the
benefit of the doubt and behave politely. She
did not seem to core much for the society of her
sex, but she was the ornament and joy of the so-
ciety of Giurgevo, from which all theindigenooa
joys and ornaments had fled to the mountains.
1 was presented, and, like every one else, was
seized with a respectful admiration of the ease
and grace of manner which, like the majority of
her countrywomen, she possessed. Sbe was a
PoIonaLse and blnnde commc fei bUs. But a
change came. Two days ago the Colonel re-
ceived orders to made a reconnoissance with his
regiment toward Paraipan. and Ms absence
would la.'^t some three or four days. AU the
hotel could hear theirparting, which was tender
and lachrymose. " 'Take care of thyself, dar-
ling ; don't expose thy pre'cious existence," wept
the lady. " My own heart's treasure, how wilt
thou bear the separation 1' replied the warrior,
and there were tears and kisses and pro-
testations, and then he rode away and she waved
her kerchief from the window until the last
horseman of the column had disappeared in tho
dim distance. But, as the soldier proceeded on
his weary way, a messenger overtook him and
bade him retrace his steps, as the enemy bad
fled, and the reconnoissance was no longer ne-
ces-saiy. On the wings of love, and as fast
as his thoroughbred conld carry him, he
galloped back, leaving his regiment in charge
of its Lieutenant-Colonel, his heart filled with
fond anticipations of the joyous surprise which
his unexpected return would cause to the lady
of his love. He reaches the dwelling, throws
his reins to' an orderly, tries the door, shouts
" It is I, mv dearest.'' gets no answer, becomes
impatient, and finally kicks in a panel and finds
that " his dearest" has gone, and has left no
sign behind her except an empty jewel-case.
Now, there are. no jewelers, at present, iu
Ginrgevo, and no one but a lunatic ever ven-
tures out of doors under tho scorching heat of
midday ; so that there was legitimate cause for
suspicion. But where was she ' He knew that
she had not left by the morning train, and there
are no post horses to be obtained in the town,
and no place of refuge nearer than Bucharest,
if she had been miudcd to run awav ; she must
poor man tear about the streets, and we could
hear his howls and imprecatioite echoing
through the corridors of the hotel, as he shrieked
out for tidings of his lost one. Ko one could
or would irive'him any satisfaction, but at last
somelKKly sugge.sted that the evening's train to
the capital might give him some clue to
the mystery; so to the station' he went, and
arabu.shed himself in its environs, and thought
over possible projects of vengeance, and perhaps
over the inconstancy and perfidy of the fair sex.
Kverybodv in to«-n- at last got to know of the
affair, and there wks quite a gallery of specta-
tors on the spot when the first bell rangat 4:45.
Still no one came, and his uncertainty became
greater, when suddenly a hackney carriage tore
up the street, 'and lis the last bell for the depart-
ure was clanging, the lost lady and the Colonel's
most intimate friend, each with a small travel-
ing bag in hand, stepped out and ran to the
ticket-ofBce. 1 suppose he said i'f tu Br>ite, or
something of the sort, for I heard some curious
and evidently unparliamentary guttural sounds,
and we saw several slaps in the face given, and
in the midst of the scuffle Helen got into a first-
class carriage and was borne off to Bucharest,
whcnco she telegraphed the same evenine for
her luggage, and Paris and Menelaus were or-
deredoff to their res^ctive lodgings, underdose,
'arrest, by a stem old General, who, although he
seemed to enjoy the scene, could not permit the
pubhc scandal to go on unnoticed. On dit, that
there will be a duel as .soon as Rustchuk has
fallen : but Russian discipline is inflexible,
and if dueling is winked at. It is onlv upon con-
dition that it does not interfere with the public
weal.
While I am writing, the cannon in the Slo-
bodja batteries have begun to gro'wl, and al-
though the Turks have not vet replied, the land-
lord has come in to say that the orders from the
ijovernor are to dear the hotel immediately,
\\*here I shaU seek shelter, where sleep this
night, 1 have no idea; probably not atrall, as, if
the bombardment has commenced in earnest,
no one will care for rest, and I am curious to see
the effect of the Russian guns. Their ofiScers
pretend to have some in position 'with a range
of f*,000 metres— nearly six miles.
P. S, — I am -^riting this on a stump by the
. roadside. The troops.are getting under arms,
and the Turkish shells are crashing through the
hou-ses of the town. I cannot see what effect
they have on Slobodja ; but the batteries thero
are evidently firing only on the Turkish fortifi-
cation and at the camp on the hill — so far. it
seems, without effect.

days has passed oil; ^nlth ielat. Tbeweatherms

grand stand there was a refrel^hing breeze which waa
thoronghly appreciated by the spectators. At the
close of the racing a thnnder-storm oecnrred, bnt the
spectators reached the hotels before any rain felL The
four events afforded a lai^e field for speenlatlon,
and all of them jrere brilUantly contested. The first '
was the great snrprlse of theiday. being won by Bill
Bass, who sold low in the pools. Viceroy captured
the mile and three-qoarten inr Messrs. Carr A Co^
which was the first Tictoryj for the stable at this
meeting. The mile heats wal won by Bradamante,
as expected, and the fourth rice was brilliantly fin-
ished by Partnership and Fait Play ronnlng so close
that crretybody proclaimed it a dead heat^ but the
Judges gare it to Psrtnershlp. The mutual pools
pftid as follows: First rac^, Bill Bass, f20 50;
second race, Viceroy, $21 40; third race, Brada-
mante, $8 40 each heat; fpurth race, Fair Play,
$X1 50.
THE RACING I^ DETAIL,
THE THBEE-QUAB^RS DASH.
The first event was a free handicap dash of
three-quarters of a mile, for all ages, which had six
entries, namely : Bwyer Brothers* Bhadamanthus,
Crawford's Grit, Mulkey's Chiquita, Smythe's
Madge, Price's BUI Bass, and McDanlel's Major Bar-
ker. Tho Bpecnlation on thei result was very dose.
RhadamanthuB had been a great favorite until just
before the start, when Chiquita was better ^thought
of, and brought within $20 ot the favorite. One of
the last pools sold was as follows : Bhadamanthus,
$100 ; Chiquita, $60 ; Bill Bass, $(>0 ; Madge, $iO;
Major Barker, $30. and Grit, $30. The
horses ^rere mastered In the sectional
track, as usual in three-quarter dashes, and after
three false attempts, were sent off to a -very poor
start. Major Barker getting away first. Grit second.
Bill Bass third, and Chiquita in the rear of the lot.
As thev went down the chute Chiquita ran very fast,
and was soon among the leaders. AVhen they turned,
into the rejnilar track, at the half-mile pole, she was
leading a lensth. Bill Bats behig second, a neck in
front of Rhadamanthiis, who was lapped by Maja».
Barker ; Madge fifth, and (Jrit iu the rear. As they
came round the lower turn . Chiquita held her own for
a short distance, but soonp^hadamanthus closed up on
her, and wss followed up by Bill Bass. Chiquita
kept half a length in front of them, however, until
they tamed iuto the home strctcli, -when the mare
beiran to qait, and both Rhadamantfaas and Bill Bass
gave her the go-by. When thoy reached the fnriong
pole Rhadamanthus and Bill BaRs were on even
terms, and there was a grand struggle between them.
At one moment it looked as thouch Rhadamanthus
would prove the winner, but Bill Bass, under the
influence of the whip, .got to the front a short dist-
ance from home, and won the race in l:17ifl by a
neck from Rhadamanthas, who was two leoj^hs
ahead of Madge, she beating Major Barker by a head
only; Grit was fifth, and Chiquita stxtlH.
THE MILE AKD THBEE-^UABTEBS.
The second event on the card was another £ree°
handicap of a mile and three-quarters, wUehhad eight
noi^iinAtions and seven starters. These were liOng-
BtafTs Shylock, Oarr & Co. 'a \"iceray, Bryw>n'sGalw»y,
Hart's Henry Owens, Doswell's Rappahannock, Mc-
Danlel's St. James, and Medinger's Wash Booth. Al-
though Shylock had been the favorite from the
time the entries were pasted until this morning,
there was a decided change when the judges rang the
saddling bell, and Shylock sank to the third {KMdtion
in the pools. Galway brought $150, Viceroy $130,
Shylock $125, Owens $100. Rappahannock $100,
St. James $75, and 'Wash Booth. $60. The lot were
started in the chute, and there waa another wretched
startjIJenry Owens getting away first, Viceroy sec-
ond, Waeh Booth third, St. James fourth, while Rap-
pahannock'was se%'eral lengths in the rear. As they
ran down the chute St. James ran into the sec-
ond place, and was followed up by Shy-
lock, when they turned into the regular track
at the half-mile pole, Henry Owens set oat to make
the running as fast as possible, and he showed three
lengUis in advance of St. James, who- was half a
length before Shylock. Coming rotmd the lower
turn. Shylock moved up, and took the second posi-
tion from St. James, leading the latter half a lengtli,
and the pair, mnning in thw position closed to with-
in two lengths of Owens, and Wash Booth was f ourth.
In this way they turned into the home stretch, when
Viceroy came up from the rear and ran Into
position. WTien they 'finished the first three-quar-
ters of a mile Henry Owens was only half a length in
front of Shylock, who was three lengths ahead of
Viceroy, he being the same distance before St.
James." with Wash Booth lapping him, fifth, Rappa-
hannock sixth, and Galway in the rear. Going round
the turn Shylock kept closing up to Henry 'Owens,
and when ifiey passed the quarter pole they were on
even terms, two lengths In advance of Viceroy, who
was a length and a half before St. James, As they
went along the back stretch Henry Ovrens began
to show the whtte feather, and , Shylock
foTfied half a length in front of him.
wh5e there wai only half a length of daylight between
Owens and Viceroy, St. James being at the latter's
tail. When they approached the half-mile pole the
rear ones closed'up very rapidly, while Owens, com-
pletely " jumped, fell to the rear. Passing the half-
mile pole tjhylock pushed a length in front of Viceroy,
who waa ju-^t his length before Galway, Rappahan-
nock, St. James, and Wash Booth, who were so
close tocetlier that a blanket could have covered
them. Ou the lower turn, tho race began in earnest,
andHuches sent Viceroy along at his best. HesooncoH.
lared Sh yl<tf k. when there waa great excitement, and
when he" finally came to the front Ms backers were
jubilant. Was'h Booth had come third again, Rappa-
hannock fourth, and St. James fifth. When tbey
turned into the home stretch Viceroy was etill in the
lead, while Wash Booth seemed to have taken
second place from Shylock, and looted very danger-
ous at the furlong pole. Shylock, however, came
acain and assumed the second place, and
frnight de.Tperately to OTertake Viceroy, but
only succeeded in getting to the latter's
saddle skirts. Hnghea then pushed Viceroy
to do bis best, and he reached the goal the winner by
three-quarters of a length In SiOsi^- In the mean-
time, Galway and Wash Booth came along with a
oplcndid brush, and Shylock' onlv beat them for sec-
ond place by a neck, the Jud^s declaring a dead heat
between Galway and Booth for third place ; Rappa-
hannock fifth, "St. James sixth, and Ilenry Owens
seventh,
: THE HEAT RACE.
The third event of the day was a free handicap of
mile heats, which was regarded as almost a certainty
for Bradamante over her two competitors. Lady
Salvers and Partnership. This Is one of the mys-
teries of the 'handicapping system. It is supposed
that it is the handicapper's business to equalize
horses by raising the weight on one and taking It off
another, and It certainly seemed that there should be
more than one pound difference between Bradamante
and Lady Salyers, taking Ihelr performances as a
criterion. Under the circumstances Bradamante was
a decided favorite over the field, and brought In the
pools $200; Lady Salyers $80, and Partnership
$75.
Firgt Heat. — Partnership delayed the start by frac-
tiousness, and three attempts were made before the
flag fell, when Lady Salyers had the beet of it by a
length. Bradamante second, a neck in front of Part-
nei-ship. Croing round the turn she increased her
lead, and passed the quarter pole two lengths in
front of Bradamante. who was the same distance be-
fore Partnership. Going along the first half of the
back stretch Barrett forced Lady Salvers to the top
of her speed, and she got three lengths away
- frvmi Bradamante, while the latter was the
same distance before Partnership, but going
nearer to the half-mile <■ i>ole Lady Salyers
began to lose ground. She led Bradamante two
lengths at tliat point, while Partnership moved up.
and there was only half a length of daylight between
Bradamante ajid him. When they czime around the
lower turn, Sayres pushed Bradamante forhorran.
and she speedUy overtook Lady Salyers amid the
cheers of her ifackers, while Partnership was four
lengths behind. The two fillies ran together past the
furlong pole, when Lady Salyers gave It up, and
Bradamante came home an easy winner by three
leneths in 1:43 lo. Lady Salyers waa three lengths
in mint of Partnership.
Stcwid Heat — Bradamante sold for $100, Part-
nership, $40, and Lady Salvers $10. After some
delay PartnefBhip cot away a length ahead of Brada-
ipante, who was the same distance ahead of Lady
Salyers. Partnership being well under way before
Bradamante got her stride, he was enabled to lead
her three leogths on the turn, and Lady Salyers was
at the tall of Bradamante. Passing the quarter pole
I^irtnentbip was still three lengths in advance of
Bradamante. who was two lengths before Lady Sal-
vors. As they ran along the back stretch there was a
length of daylight between each of them, but when
they reached the h&lf-mile pole Bradamante dosed
up, and when thev came round the turn she rapidly
got to the head of Partnership, and turned iiAo the
noma stretch In the lead. She was a length ahead of
the btg horse at the furlong pole, and then came
away while Partnership waa under the wh5p. and
won the heat and race hy three lengths in I:43i2.
Partnership was second, eight lengths ahead.of Lady
Salyers, Partnership getting second money.
THE SZlAliXSta BACK.
The concluding event was a BeQiz^ race of) a mile
and an eighth, for all ages, which brotighttout six
competitors, namely : F. Smythe'a Brother to Willie
Burke, D. McDanlel's Sister of Mercy, and a chestnut
filly by Glen Athol, J. T. Williams' Pair Play, Geoxge
LongstafTs Partnership, and D. J. Grouse's lAuburzL

FrcmkovT Own CorrespondtiU.
Baltimore, Md., Aug. 7, 1877.
There are considerations connected with
the Ubor movement in the City of B^ti-
more that are very far from having been*
exhausted as subjects of discussion and
exposition during the recent strike of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad hands and the
Accompanying riot and bloodshed. It is true
that in the fight between the soldiers and the
mob on the night of July 20 there were few, if
any, railroad men concerned, and that the
name of not one of them appears in the list of
billed and wounded ; but it is & si°;nificant cir-
cumstance that 8 of the 1 1 killed were work-
ing men who had only a few hours before left
their benches and shops. It is the common
cant to speak of them as having been innocent
victims — mere accidental spectators of the
Bcene, who were caught in the surging crowd
and were shot down by the troops iSefore
they had the opportunity to escape to^a place of
safety. Your correspondent ctiias taken the
trouble to supplement his , own observa-
tions of wnat took place around the
Sixth Regiment Armory and the occurrences
fcfterward, during the march of the soldiers up
Baltimore-street, by those of conservatives and
other eye-witnesses of the events of that terrible .
night, and I feel very well assured that although
the riot was commenced under the leadership of
m few professional roughs, it was taken up and
carried on mainly by actual working men ; and
I am moreover very much inclined to disbelieve
that those who were killed were not guilty of
participation in the attack on the troops. The
theory of their innocence was pretty well
brushed away when a policeman testified to find-
ing a huge stone in the pocket of one of the dead
men, who had been lamented by his associates
as an innocent victim to assassination at the
hands of the Militia, and if other witnes.'^s be-
fore the Coroner's inquest had chosen to tell all
they knew, there might have Ijeeu revelations
that would have convinced the public that the
bullets of the Sixth Regiment, in most instances,
found their way to men who had courtedthe fate
they met. It must be remembered, too, that,
although the tiring took place at an hour when
Baltimore-street is usually crowded with people,
only two men who were not working men were
struck, and the natural deduction is that there
was scarcely anybody on the street except those
who were following up and stoning the military.
These matters are not recalled for the pur-
pose of stirring up bitter blood or to found any
controversy upon. They simply occurred to
your correspondent as being tangibly connected
with certain developments recently manifei^ed
among the working classes, and as prompting
an investigation into the condition and feelings
of the element of the population of Baltimore
that earns its bread by skilled or unskilled labor.
I have spent some three days among the trades,
but before giving the result of these Inquiries I
ought to say that there is no other city in the
X'nited States where there are stronsrer or more
complicated bonda of union among working
men. ThLsiaa remarkabh' fact, notwithstand-
ing that, in proportion to population. Baltimore
is the least important of the great manufactur-
ing centres, and falls far behind cititJj that are
nowhere near it in the number of iuliabitants.
But what there are of artisans and mechanics
are indissolubly welded together. They
have their unions in every, trade ;
they renew and strengthen their associations
and friendships in their social assemblies, and
They meet and combine again in the secret or-
ders to which it seems an unwritten law that
every Baltimore working man must belong.
Take them all througii the scale, from the most
skillful mechanic in the machine shops down to
the hod-carrier, and one finds them united by a
bond of sympathy that is certainly more perfect
than among the various trades elsewhere. Keep-
ing this in miud, there is no lUfficulty in under-
standing why the working element was ready to
back up the railroad strikers even to the extent
b1 facing the musketry of the Militia.
THE RECENT STRIKE PREMATUEE.
in the course of conversations with the most
^telligent representatives I could discover in
the difCerent branches of labor, a tone of sul-
len discontent was the most observable feature.
JJaturally. my first inquiries were among the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad employes who had
either refused to return to work or whom the
company had refused to take back. I found a
knot of them at a favorite rendezvous — a tavern
close by the waterside in South Baltimore — and
listened for a half-hour to their complaints and
their threats of what nii^ht yet be done in the
future to crinple the railroad. There was not
much to be gained froim them, but 1 learned of
an engineer who had quit the road,
and who was spoken of as the
man to see on the subject. I found him, and
his view;4 of the whole labor question were in-
teresting enon^h to warrant reproduction. He
Is a man of more than ordinary intelligence,
keen and (|uick in his talk, and lias a way about
him that conveys the impression that he is any-
thing else but an enthusiastic and ignorant
fooL He said, in the first place, that
he had left the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad b«?cause. under the 10 per cent, re-
duction, he could not earn enough to support his
large family decently^ and he thought ne could
find more profitable eonployment elsewhere.
But he soon dropped personal matters and went
on to more important subjects. As to the re-
cent strike, he said that it had. 'been unwisely
precipitated. Away back in the Spring the
railroad hands on the trunk lines nad been
convinced that their wages were to be cut
down, and there had been interchanges
of opinion amom? them as to what
Bhould be done. *'\Vhy," said my informant,
*• we had delegates here in Baltimore from the
Pennsylvania, the Central, and the Krie, in
May. and we sent men back to them, and the
whole thing was thoroughly talked over before
any orders for the reduction had been given
from either Scott, Vanderbilt, Jewett, or (Bar-
rett. Thsere were conferences here and in Pitts-
burg and in Jersey City, and the railroad officials,
with all their smartness and their detectives,
never dream^'d of what was going on right un-
der their noses. Well, the upshot of it all was
that there was a general imderstanding that
there should be a errand strike against the re-
duction of pay. Now, young fellow, I am going
to tell vou Hometliing that none of the newspa-
per men have got hold of yet. "We had no
notion of striking in the Sunmier. All of us
old railroad Taim knew that the companies would
have the whip hand of us then, because
there would be little business doing, and they
could get along with the blacklegs and the
green hands. Our programme was to accept
the reduction without a murmer, work straight
along until the Fall business wa:^ at its height,
then to demand an increase of pay from Garrett,
Scott, Vanderbilt. and Jewett, and if it
was not at once granted to strike as
quick as a stroke of lightning, and
drop trains wherever they might bo at any
point along any road. We think we would have
won the fight on that, but the freight firemen
and brakemen on the Baltimore 'and Ohio
knocked the whole plan to tlinders by striking
too soon. I don^t know that I can blame them,
fOr the company wanted to send them up the
road on starvation wagea, and then make them
eat up what little pay they got while thej
were waiting for a traiu back ; but if
they could have stood it until October,
we should all have ptit in our big licks at onco
on every road, and no soldiers would have save<l
the companies then. Of course, when the strike
commenctMl here, the men on the other roads
were prematurely dragged into it before our
arrangements were ntule, and so I may sav that
for the present we have been whipped in detail,
while as a unit we would have been in-
' vincible." Your correspondent endeavored to
draw this man out b^ questions as to whether
the original intentions^ of the confederates
might not yet be carried out by a simultaneous
strike later in the year, but on this point he.
was wary. All he would say was that people
who though the trouble was- ended had made au
lnynonse mistake. The roadd had all promised
the men that they would get more pay when
--**^— <■ kMcama bettec _ •' aow«''j0»id In. " ve
know well enough that in the Fall bnslxLes: will
be a great deal better, and all the roads wfil be
earning money. If the men consent io be
starved, that stockholders may be paid their
10 per cent, dividends, then they are ^g^^T
fools and cowards than I take them to be.'^
THE SULLEN SPIBIT OB" WOEKING MEN | GEN-
ERALLY.
This sort of talk very fairly represeni
spirit and feeling of the railroad Toj&n.
work and the vast throng who sympathizej with
them. Among all the trades with whom I
talked there was not one in which I did not
find an ugly temper, both with reference tp the
use of military force iii subduing the strik^ and
their own relations to their employers, ^mall
wages and lack of steady employment werie the
burden of the complaints. Even the tin can
makers were growling, although it was onfy the
other day that they struck for better pay and got
It. This branch of .indugtry is importopt, as
It furnishes cans ! for the great oyster
and fruit packing establi^unents that abound
here. In the shoe factories, the machine shops,
and all the minor divisions of labor there was
the same discontent. A deep-seated aniiposity
exists on account of the killing of working men
by the Militia, and, as a speaker jat a
labor meeting asked, " Do we sijpport
these shoulder-strapped gentry to sh(»)t us
down when ask for bread P' So youj may
hear the same sentiment repeated everywhere
among working men, in and out of emploj-pient.
Those who have work will say that thi y are
scarcely any better off than those who ar< idle.
Those who once earned $35 or $30 pei week
now think it fortunate if they get $12 ori $15,
and they ask how they can pay honse rent feed,
clothe, and rear their ^amilies'on that. A id yet
Baltimore has not 50 tenement-hous )3 in
its limits, and working men moatlj live
in homes of their own. Just here, howe rer, is
another source of trouble. Thousands < f me-
chanics have bought, houses t^rou^h building
associations on the plan of paying in so much
per month. They were doing well enoug i with
their payments untU the commercial depression
threw them out of work or reduced theii earn-
ings to such a small figure that they [ could
put by nothing with which to meet thei
Tlie mortgages which they gave to seci
associations have in a m'ultitudei of in!
been foreclosed, the property sold, and
lucky mechanic has thus been turned out (of his
home, and lost every cent of the money w-hich
h^had paid. There are other grievances, and
as they are paraded one can hardly woAder at
the desperate and vicious fashion in whioh men
talk. - [ -
POLITICAL AGITATION AMONG THE WORKING
IMEN. j
Already the whole affair has assumed a| politi-
cal bearing. As it the working people did not
have associations enough, they have, since the
riot, started what they call *' Labor Lyceums,"
one in each ward of the city, at whicp^ they
meet to take action looking to the Eforma-
tion of a working man's party, under the
direction of a central organization. The Demo-
cratic or Republican politicians were waiped off
from these meetings, but some of the notorious
old wire-pullers of each side have been making
themselves prominent, and are endeavoring to
turn the current to their atlvantage. The
movement appears to be engineered byja mys-
terious body that calls itself the Executive

Communism in an audacious fashion ti
recommended it to a very hea\*y circj
among the laboring classes, and I supp
the spirit of any element of a comluumty
may bo rather fairlv gauged w the
sort of nrinted opinions it hangs its faith
upon. Luckily, the Democrats hadi maile
their nominations for the General Assembly
before the strike occurred, and now th^y have
nothing of consequence ahead of them in the
city except to make up a ticket for the (jouncil.
There need be no surprise if the working men
do put a legislative ticket in the field and
elect a portion of it. There are plenty of
f>eople outside of laboring men who) would
end their aid to such a movement,
simply to put the Baltimore and Ohio Ejailroad
on the rack and extract from it a confesiion of
its raiil financial standing, that is believed to
have been conrealerl or falsified in the reports
of President Garreqt. There are man>| causes
for disturbances inside and outside of
politics as October draws near, land I
much misjudge, the signs of the times if
the fruits of the late strife have all bean har-
vested as yet. The - working people aire in a
frame of mind that is dangerous, and nothing
but such a revival ot business as will give
them all enough to do at ■ goon pay
will keep them out of the political
field as a united body or prevent
them from supporting, morally or physically.
their comrades in any branch of labor vhio may
be the first to renew actively the war wijth capi-
tal. And in saj-iug this I do not mean! to in-
clude among them the ruffians andj rabble
of thie town, who are always j ready
for a row. At a distance Ii mav
seem absurd that the ^Maryland Militia pre still
kept in camp around Baltimore or under arms
at the armories, but tiuj authorities unaerstaud
perfectly the situation which is herein de-
scribed, and feel that it would not bi safe to
dismis.s the soldiers.

(^rtalnly undermine discipline. The French mar-
itin^ law tends to strengthgn this feeling of
doubt as to the thorough competent of the
Captain, for, although he is styled as Maitre apr6$
jWcu of the vessel he commands, he must neverthe-
less consult the whole crew in all cases of emergency ;
hence a cause for the longpassages made by French
vessels as compared with Eogliah iwesels. la It to be
expected that a sailor who has no other iaterest than
to earn his wages with as little fatigue as possible
should decide to risk his life or limbs in rough
weather when the choice of putting into a port and
waiting for more favorable winds is in his power !
The knowledge of this law is quite sufficient to make
the orders of the Captain subservient to the will of
the crew. On the ouier hand, French sailors from
some parts of the coast of Prance, when well com-
manded,, make excellent crews.' "
AN ANNOYING VISITOR.
HOW AN IXSANE WOMAN VEXED A GOOD CITI-
ZEN OP BOSTON AT AN UNTIMELY HOUB
OP THE NIQHT.
From the Eoiton Tranteript, Av^. 7.
A short time affo a South End family had a
strange visitor. The first noticed of ^the stranger's
presence was a peculiar movement at the front door,
about 3 o'clock In the morning. The oecuj»ants list-
ened, bat there appeared to he no tampering with the
lock directly, and they came to the conclusion that a
bui^lar was boring his way In. The lord of the
household forthwith dressed, and as he moved to-
ward the door the stranger stepped through the
porch to the sidewilk. The window was opened to
get a peep at the night caller, but the fijnuw vanished
inside the storm do^r. The perplexed man hesi-
tated a minute, but finally boldly pushed for the
door, which he opened suddenly upon the intruder —
a comely woman of middle age and good address, but
evidently slightly demented. She had chosen the re-
cess between the storm and inner doors as a dormi-
tory, and was well under way, in proper female fash-
Ion, in her preparations for bed. " Don't shoot !" she
implored ; '* I'm no hou5e-breaker, I can assure you. If
you'll only listen to mystery, It'a not long." Our
friend is a kind-hearted and patient man. and he al-
lowed her to proceed- She began with her early life,
her tongue was a busy and ver>' proper one, and her
yam was so full of knotty incidents and tangled di-
versions that her listener began to fear that she
would never spin it alL To his further erabarross-
ment, the woman continued to disrobe in a n«r\'ous
way. talking gUbly meanwhile, till she was reminded
that the doorway was not a sleeping apartment.
*' Excuse me, Sir, I am so nervous ;" and she pro-
ceeded with the story of her life, and soon again

k CRIMINAL'S CARL Eli.
AVHEBE JAMES BRADY WAS BORN AND PASSED
HIS EARLY LIFE — HIS FIRST CRIME.
j From the Troy Presi, Avff. 7.
And now that Oscar I>. Patterson, alias Jim
Brady, has become so noted a criminal and desperado,
a few facto concerning his early life and antecfdeuts
will be of some interest to our readers. Jim Brady
first saw the light of day and posse^l his early years
in an old frame building at what is called the junc-
tion on that point of land opposite the present Troy
and Cohoes horse railroad bam. at Cohoes. It is said
by those that should know of such affairs, that he in-
herited his pourltant for det^d3 of crime, oa his father
bad ft«rved at leii-st one term in prison for crimes
commfit*'d. Of his boyhood years littlo is known,
except that his as.soeiatP'* were not of the best. If he
followed the URual gradations In crime, he was suc-
cessful In concealing the traces, as his tirst advent as
a principal in crime was I>etwcen 10 and 11 years
agt>, when, in company with a young man named
Latta. he attacked a man on Olmstead-slrf^t. Cohoes,
and. chokiinr liitn into silence. robt>ed him uf a gold
watch and- chain and a sum of money. Tlie crime
was traced to the por]»etratorM. and tho officers
sUrteti Oil the htfnt for them. OfHcer Delve first got
on Bradv> track, who nin up Rwmsen -street, where
OflScer liodgson met him; anti felled him to the earth
with the butt of a pistol, and he was taken to the
Station-house. Hodgson disguised, sought out Latta,
and .soon had him in custody. They were in the sta-
tion-house about one week, when they broke out in
the evening and escaped. It was learned afterward
that they took refuce In a culvert under the canal, in
rear of liogues block. Here, with the water dripping
down upon them, they parsed the night, and Latta
contracted a cold. They proceeded to New-York, and
Lotta; taken sick, came home to die. Afterward Sergt.
Stoats, afterward Captain, heard of Brady's where-
abouts in Xew-York and telegraphed for nis arrest.
He was taken In custody and forwarded to Cohoea.
He was placed on trial for the highway robbery.
when Jolm Latta cjime forward and- saved him from
punishment by swearing that his brother, while on
his death-bed, confessieti that he alone committed the
robbery, and that Brady waii innocent. Improbable
as thi» Htory was, he was. discharged on the evidence,
and shortly afterward proceeded to New- York where
he has earned hinself so unenviable a reputation as
a criminal and desperado. Brady's mother and sis-
ters are still residents of the City of Cohoes, and dur-
ing the post 10 years have received a number of
visits from him, wneu. weary of crime, he sought rest
or refuse from the officers of justice. ,
A MODEST CmCAGOAN.
The Chicaj^o Tribune has the following in
reference to one H. C Prcese of that city : '* During
the late unplea-santness in the vicinity of the Hal-
itead-street viaduct he volunteered his services in
the cause of law and order. He joined Capt. A^ra-
monte's cavalry company, and acted for a couple of
days as First- Lieutenant. Having achieved military
greatness he became very noisy. Capt. Agr&monte
was obliged to put him under arrest, for the rea^n
that he acted more like a rioter than a soldier. Kow.
that the piping flays of peace haVe returned, Freoae
thinks he is entitled to some mark of recognition.
In order to get it be has caused the circulation of a
subscription-paper, couched as follows :
ClUCAOO, Aug. 4.
SnbBcriptibn for a medal to be presented to Lieiifc. H.
C. Frcese by the citizens of Chicago. In testimony of his
brave and efficient action in dispersing the mob and
queuing the riot of July, 1877.
By all means give him the medal — a leather one. "

bit him on the hanA. There was a stinging sensation,
but Hr. Soule paid little attention to it until this

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
I
I>SOISION IN EQUrrr— WHEN JtJDGMENTS AT
"LAW WJLh NOT BX ENJOINED.
WashinotonJ D. C, Aug. 9.— The following
decisions have been rendered by the United States
Snpii&me Court:
Ko. 197— John B. Crim, appellant, vs. John M.
Mandley et oZ.— Appeal from the Circuit Court of the
United States forithe Southern District of Georgia.
— Courts of equity will not enjoin judgments at law
unless the complainant has an equitable defense to
the cause of actlotn of which he could not avail him-
self at law. becatise it did not amount to a legal de-
fense, or where he had a good defense at law of
which he was prevented from availing himself hy
fraud or aocddent, unmixed with negligence of him-
self or his agenta. (Hendrickaon vs. Hinckley, 17
How., 445.) Where a party has failed to moke a proper
defense through Negligence, a court of equity will
not enjoin tlie judgment, but where it appears that
such a defense has been prevented by fraud or acci-
dent, without fault of the losing party, a court of
eqtdty may grant rehef if the proofs ore satisfac-
tory. <Hungerfbrd vs. Gigerson. 20 Id. 161.)
Sufficient appears to show that goods of great value
were fiwned by the mercantile firm of J. W. BufBng-
ton & Co.. and that they, on the Istday of February.
1868. sold the same to the firm of King, Crim &
Co., William Peeples, one of the old firm, entering
the new firm which made tlie purchase. Pay-
ment of the price was made at the time
of the purchase, less ^,51)1 G4, for which
the purchasing firm gave to the vendors
four promisaonr notes, payable to the creditor firm
or bearer on the Ist days of April, May, June, and
July next ensuing, with Intere.Ht. Debts of the old
firm were still outstanding, for which Peeples. of the
new firm, was liable, and for hts security the fotir
notes given hy the new firm were deposited in the
hands of a third person, with the understoudmg that
the depositary was to hold the notes for that pur-
pose, BO that when the debts of the old firm were
presented they might be paid by Peeples or the new
firm, and in thatjevent tne amounts paid were to be
credited on the notes in the haudn of the depositary
Subsisting liabilities j>f the old firm were pre
seated for payment, and were paid by Peeples, of the
new firm, but the record shows that controversy
arose respecting the same, and that the depositary of
the uot«8 refused to allow the credits to be made on
the notes pursuant to the original understanding.
Instead of that he caused one of the notes to be nut
in Btdt to enforce payment of the same. Pending that
suit the new firm brought a blU in equitj* against the
depositary and the old Hrm to compel the respondents
to carry the uuderstouding into effect. Wnat they
prayed was that the pa>'ments thus made sliould be
indorsed on those notes, and they also claimed a
credit for worthless cotton-seed sold to them when
they purchased the stock of goods of the old firm.
Litigation ensued, but in the \'iew taken <if the case
it will not be necessary to enter veiy fully into those
details. Suits , of eamiahment 'were also insti-
tuted In behalf of the creditors of the old
firm against the dflx^ositary of the notes, and
during their pendency the notes were placed in the
hands of certain attorneys, with directions that the
notes be put in suit in tlie name of the agent of the
creditors prosecuting the suits of garnLshmeut.
Pursuant to those directions, the agent, .Tuines M.
Handley, onthe|14th of April. 1B73, sued the ap-
pellant, and P»^ples. us fiar\'i\*ing partner of tlie
new firm wldch gave the notes, (•ounllu-r on those

WHAT COXSTITVTES A FERRY f
A prellnainary Injunction was granted some
time ago rostroiuing tho Harlem and Xew-York
Steam-boat Navigation Company from continuing to
run their boats between this City and, Astoria. Long
Island, and the matter came np in Supreme Court,
Chambers, yesterday, l*fore Judge Van Brunt, on
a return to an order to show cau^e why the injunc-
tion should not bu mado permanent. Kx-Judge Mc-
Gown appeared for tho Cvtmpauy and Corporation
Counsel WTiitney for tho City. Ex-Judge McGoWn
contended that the point made that the stop-
ping of the boats at an intermediate plof-e
constituted a ferry, and made it obligatory
that the company * should obtain a frandiiso
from the City in order to thiw run their boats, was
erroneous, and guoted Webster to show that a ferry
proper was from point to point across a river, and did
not cover plying up and down a river. It would be
as reasonable to coll the steamers which plied on the
Hudson to NewbuTg and other place* ferry-boats.
Tlie stoppagw of the company's boat.'' would' greatly
inconvenience the residents of Astoriu doing busi-
ness in New- York. He cited from the old Dougan
Charter to show that the Citv. in onler to establish
a right to a ferry, should first locate it by some legis-
lative enactment. These boats had been running so
long unmolested that the City had virtually aban-
doned any right which it might liavu hod against
them. Mr. Whitney argued that the City had a right
to run a ferrj- or to forbid (me rynninp without a
license. I'nuer a recent decision of the (ieneral
Term of the Superior Court, invohing a similar state
of facts tu those easting in the preseut case. It was
held that to run a fe-rr>- a company must have a
liceu.se. Thw pl>'iug of boats between the Citv «ud
Afltoria constUuted a ferry to all intents and pur-
poses. Judge Van Brunt resen"od his decisiou.
A QUESTIOX AFFECTIXG TBE REVEXUE.
While Peter Mullen, the second steward of
the steam-ship Clyde, which arrived in port on Monday,
was leaving the ship on Tue.suay eveuing last.acitl7.cn
called the attention of an officer of the Seventh PoUco
Precinct to the fact that Mullen was carrying away
several packages from the ship. Mullen was accord-
ingly arrested, and in his possession were found three
bundles containing 100 packages of cigarettes. The
prisoner was arraigned before United States Coni-
mlssiouer Shields, yesterday, and stated that the
Custom-house officer who had come aboard tho Clyde
on the previous day had told hini he might take the
bundles ashore, and that he had taken them ashore in
accordance with the permission thus granted. As
tills granting of permission to take dutiable goods
ashore in small quantities without passing them
throughithe Custom-house is known to be a common
occurrence, Commissioner Shichls an<l the United
States District Attorney proposed to make Mullen's
case a test one, for the purpose of ascertaining
whetlier the CuHtom-house authorities have anv righ.t
to pass goods simply by their own option. Ifulleu
was releaseil on his own recoguizauce to appear for
examination this afternoon.
HOXOR AMOXG THIEVES.
On July 2 sneak thieves entered tho office of
Henry A- Chapln, No. 24 Park-place, through a
window, and carried off a blue frock coat valued at
$40. Mr. Chapin informed the Police of the theft,
and Officer Byrne, of the Twenty-sixtli Precinct,
was detailed to work up the case. He arrested
Frank Kelly and Charles Watson, two Fourth Ward
characters, who spend their days loitering around
the City Hall Park, and they were identified by a
bootblack named Abraham Kronenberg as the two
men whom he hod seen climb the coping and enter
the window of Mr. Chaplu's office. Watson had the
atolon coat on when arrested, and both he
and Kelly vigorously resisted the officer.
When the pair were called to tlie bar of
the Court of Greneral Heasions yesterday by
Assistant District Attorney Herring, Kelly promptly
acknowledged the theft, and was incessant in-bu
protestations of the inno<.-ence of his companion.
Ha was ao . aaniAst in hia atatementa that Jndim
Suthexiand sent for &t>nenberg, who was confined
in the House of Detention as a witness, and ques*
tioned him as to the identity of Watson. Kronen-
berg said Watson was not the man who accompanied
Kelly, thus corroborating the statements of the
latter. Judge Sutherland thereupon ordered the
discharge of Watson and sent Kelly to State Prison
for one year.

DISPUTE ABOUT A COVRTTARD.
In the JSpecial Term of the Supreme Court,
Judge Van Vorst has handed down a decision in the
case of Miles and otliers against Titus and others.
The Utigatiou has been in active progress in some
slmpe or other for three years post, Messrs. Qiun-
tin McAdam and £. S. Babcock arguing It for
the phiiutiiTs, and Van Volkenburg fyr the de-
fendants. Tlie contention has taken the shape of
trials, injunctions, and references, and has corae
before Presiding Justice Da\'is and Justice Vau
Vorst and Donohue. in the Sopremo Court ; Jud^ie
Sedgwick, in the Superior Court, and ex-Judges
I^eonurd and Haggles and Mr. F. N. Bangs .is Kef

strip of land, six feet in width, forming a court-
yard between the brewerj- of tho plaintiffs erected in
Its rear and a first-clai!s tenement -house of the de-
fendants erected in the front. Judge Van Vorst, in

A LITERARY MAiTS CREDITORS.
A motion was made in Supreme Court, Cham-
bers, yesterday, by Mr. Amoux to vacate an attachment
which hod been issued against Montgomery 6ibbs, at
tho instance of William L. OUver. who had sued
Uibbs for ;g700 as surety on a debt due Oliver. Tho
attachment had been granted ou allegations that
Gibbs had once absconded to England to get rid
of hts * creditors, and had only recently re-
turned had no place of business here, and
that his family and residence were in Eng-
land. Mr. Amoux said that Mr. Gibbs edited
publications in Enelond, and his business took him
there every year, that his income was derived from
abroad, and that he could best pay his creditors by
hia travel not being interfered with. He had left for
Knglnud ojienly, his friends giving him a " send off.'*
Mr. Cummings, who opposed the motion, said that
several creditors were pressing itr. Gibbs at the time
of hLs departure, and that on the day he left, he told
one of them. -John liurry, that he was only going
away for 10 days, and thus Barry had not the great
pleasure of participating in the "send off." Judge
Von Brunt reserved his decision.

ler. No. 185 South-street, and to its subsequent
seizure by revenue officers at a store comer of Eront-
street and Peck-filip ; he hod not noticed that It
was unstamped Tintn the goods were opened by the

street, who bought it, toeether with other packages
which hod been offered for sale as unclaimed goods

discover that the packages contained snuff at
all until some time afterward, when arrangine
for the exchange of property with Mr. Etall.
He had bought the goods on risk for a trifling Rum.

JOHN A MERRITTS ESTATE,
7\> the Editor of the Xetc- York Times .-
I cannot sufficiently thank you for vour kinld-
ness in publishing In your paper the facts as they
trangpired in the suits instigated and growing out of*.
the settlement of tho estate of the late John A,
Merritt. Vour love of truth is more conspicuous
from the fact that the l^rUmne and Herald have re-
fused t<t niaUe corrections in relation to this mat-
ter, although I have repeatedly called attention to
errors which have appeared in those papers from
time to time. I feel it my duty to vtudicate the
memory of John A. Merritt, and refute the Infamoiu >
charges brought against him.

MORE REPUDIATED TOWX BONDS.
The Supreme Court of lUiuois has decided^
that certain bonds issued by the town of Lacon, in
that State, as a subscription to the capital stock of a
railroodcompanyaome years a|>o were illecallyifisued,
and are therefore void- The facts of the c^so are
thus stated by the Chicago Triiuiw: "On Dec 22,
18G8, an election was held in the town of Locon.
Marahall County, at wldch a majority of the votes
cast were iu favor of a subscription by the toHm of
$GO.00() to the capital stock of the Hamilton. Lacon
and Eastern Railroad Company, ^t the time the
election was called and held no law was in force which
authorized the election or conferred po^ver upon the
town to vote upon the question.' or in any manner to
become a stockholder Iu the railroad company. On
March 5, 1MG9. the Legislature of Illiuois passed an
act which declared this election ' hereby legalizod and
made biudinz and valid, notwitlist&udins thw^ was -
no law existing at the time said election was l^ld
authorizing tlie poople of said township to vote for
subscription to the capital stock of said company.*
Tliis act .further provided that tJie Supervisor m ake a
valid and binding subscription, and issue bondt. &c
Tho Supervisor accordingly subscribed S^tiO.-
000, Rud iu due time— iu March, 1871 — the
Super\'isor and clerk Issued and delivered
tlie GO bonds, each for $1,000. boarine 10 per<c«nt.
interest. The court held, as it had hehi in pre\dous
cases, that the liegislature h.ad no power uuder the
Constitution to pasa a law rendering the election and
subscription valid, as the csffect would be to com^^el
a municipal corporation to incur a debt for purely a
local municipal purpose ; and tliat tlie lyc^slatir^
could not authorize a Supervisor aud Town Clerk to
create a corjx>rate debt %\ithouta the consent of tbe
people expressed at the polls, as the power to Impoae
taxes or to create a corporate debt is not incident
to their powers. The oonds iu this cane recited
on their face that they were issued under the
election of December. 18G§, and tlierefore there woa
due uotitx' to the purchaser. These bonds are noU
voidable, but void. This decision applies not meroly-
to this case, but to a laree class of oonds iasued un-,.
der similar laws passed hy the Xjcgialaturo * curative '
of previously notorious illegalities. Though theso,
bonds have been issued some years, the question ht»
not been raised regarding them until now, though.
the same point has long since been decided iu others
A CHURCH INCIDENT. .
The Bostou Traveller narrates the followili;^ :l
" An Essex County clergj'man preached a nuuiqg
temperance discourse last Sunday .-^n which he spoke
in strong terms of tlie evils of the liquor traffic, uot^
forgetting the sales in places that liave a pretense to«
respectability. As he made one strong point aftarli
another, his hearers were touched, and expreasedi;
their satisfiactlou by applause. nnaUy, as he readk^dl!
his climax, an excited hearer rose to hia feet, >iadi
forgetting the day and the place, shouted out — ' Kdw,
then, three oluaera for the minister!* Th« dfl*d*'
silence that followed brought the/Hum to hla
ami he wUted iuto his maS.''
lETTERS TO THE EDITOR

\ CENTRALIZATION.
ToAeBdUoroffheKew-Yorlt Tim*»:
In your issue of 4th inst., under the liead
of ** Railroads and States," you say :
** Business exigencies and individual greed and an
bition have re^utloniied th** conditioius of mlroai'
management. We have " railroad syj-teins" insteac
of iKUr<i«d«. and the head of each syjetem is ii* lil^ ■^•aj
kingly and despotic. The Pennsylvania R^lroad. foi
instance, not content with absolute sway in the
State from which It derived its original privileges, <n
with tho virtual ownerahip of the Ijegislature t<
which it turns for local laws, ha* grown into th-
Pennsylvania Railroad system, and issues ordeni that
are obeyed In we know not how many different
States. • • • Who can pretend that an organize*!
money and business power like this nhould l»e sub-
ject only to the centrol of a Legislature whidi it car-
ries In its pocket T— that a power which has. at i:a
bock and call an army of ^*oters, aud a patronage
equal to that possessed by the (rbvemments of hall
a dozen populous St^oes. should be indei>endont of
all regruations save those made by the States it
which ita infhieoce is felt.'^.
And you concluded* ** Federal interventioi
will sooner or later be inevitable.''
Now, I submit to you whether, havinp: your
self been largely instrumental in building u^
this sTstenif it is not rather unkind in you tc
ttim upon this magnificent specimen of itr the
Pennsylvani* Railroad ? Always vehemently
advocating the 31cCuUoch-Sherman policy of
contraction of the currency, you have aided in
taking away from the people that instrument ol
association, the greenback, which gave them
power and independence, and iu its steac
substituted an inflated, centrtdized credit
system. As a result of this, the enterprise ot
the country was obliged of necessity to look to
a railroad sTStezn which conld be biiilt uj»on and
developed by means of bonds, lalrgely sold ir
Europe. The great roads being able to float al
most unliinitfd amounts of bonds, swallowed u;
the small aad weak ones, through guaraalecs
losses. &c., and hence we have the **Pennsyl
vania Railroad system " of which you complaia.
Had you left with the people a volume
of money such as we had at the
dose of the war. commerce among them
woild hove been ea-sy aud rapid, and There
would have been ample outlets for Americun
energy and enterprise without resorting to the
excessive development of the railroad system ol
the country simply because it could be done by
the issue and sale of bonds — a device denied to
aJl other branchei* of business. We should not
t&en have had the bankrupt railroad system
that we now have, but one which developed a*
wanted by means of cash would have l>ee« ■
sound, stable and prosporou.s. The prf<oiiT rail
road system of the l'nited States, ninc-tcnllu
bankrupt, and oiie-tenth arrogant and over-
bearing, and having " the virtual 9wuersliip of
the Loffislatures " of tlwa States, is the <'hi!«i ,Qf

dinates the commerce of the countr>* to an
arbitrarily limited volume of money. wIiL-n the
commerce should itself fix the volume of that

A credit system of such a character as that
which succeeded the cash systeju of the war is

THE FIRST SENATORIAL DISTRICT.
To the Editor of the Xe^t- York Timrs : ,
In reading tiie communication with the above
title in Thb Times of t«-d*y. I could not avoid feel-
ing surprise at the lack of correct iuformation on ihe
part of the writer. He speaks of the saffcssive
elections of Mr. Prince ai» having been galnt'd by the
aid of the '* machine ;" that in his campaigns he was
alwa^'S assisted by the cuatributions nf ' uffice-holders
tn the district, &c. Is it possible that any Republican
iu that district does uot know tltat Mr. Prince hu»
always opposed the "machine." and been opposed by
it) Does not that writer remember that the "ma-
chine" defeated Prince's nomitiotion for Attoruty-
General two years ago, and that the *' office-holders "
tried to prevent his election to the Chicago Conveu*
tion in 1&68. and the Cini:tuilh.tiCouventioniu ISTti i
If that writer hod been well informed he would have
known that it was not help.from the " machine." but
a safe and satiafactor>' conduct of the local ot^irs 'rt
the district, which produced Mr. Prince's successive
majorities.
Am matter of fact, Mr. Prince lias been full as ear-
nest on advocate of ci>-il service reform as Mr. i-'ur-
tis, though, ot course, not so proinUient- Ever siiii-*»
the first efforts of Mr. .Tenckes iu Congress he hfts ^
been an active supporter of the reform, although he
does not believe m the new idea of preventing ofliee-
holders from performing thtir civil duties, which ho
regards as a degntdation of the service, and ss no
true part of ci\4l service reform. Of course, thera
can be no pos.sible objection to the nominatiun of
Mr. Curtis as a candidate for the Senate. He would
be a most creditable and distinguished one. But It
should not be forgotten that Mr. Curtis has once been
a candidate In that same district aud failed to develop
any strong j>ersoual vote. The Democratic nuoorirv
in 1875 was about 2. TOO. and Mr. Prince ran &heu^
of the Republican tickei 3,6Ut>. being felectwi by
900. This year the party mojoritv will probably
not be over l.SOO, which will be easier tot some one
to overcome.

. The Maine j>lat£orm is long and arRu-
Jnentative, and reads like a studied defini-
tion of tlie political faith of Senator Blaint:.
On questions which have, for the present,
ceased to be matters of public interest, the
resolutions have a great deal to say;
on questions which are uppermost in
men's minds, very little. Tlie South-
«ru policy of the Administratiou
Ss condemned l>y implication, though
the platform-makers have abstained from
making any direct attack on the President.
The indorsement of civil service reform, as
recently defined and enforced, is vague,
Bnd is made the occasion for gloriljaug
the integrity of the citizens of
ilaine. "Encouraging legislation " and
" incidental protection " are a.ssimied
to bo the chief requirements of
the industrial interests of the country : tlie
financial plauk demands a. currency redeem-
able in gold at the date to which the Gov-
ernment st.ands pledged ; no change in the
naWgation law, no more subsidies, and tlie
reaffirmation of the validity of tlie Presi-
dent's title, constitute the other portions of
the platform wliich possess any general in-
terest. The platform will be read chiefly
for the sake of the stniup speech which
Senator Bl-UXE has contrived to insert in
Us belly.
■ It is little short of miraculous that the ac-
cident on the Xow-Jersey t'entral Kailroad
at UceanjjOit yesterday was not attended
with a vory serious .sacrifice of life. As it
isj seventy persons have been more
or less seriously injured, and one
or two are not expected to survive. The
aceideut was evidently caused by the gi-oss
carelessness of the briilgo-keeper. It is in-
conceivable that the impact of the train
could have raised the lever by which the
catches are worked which keep the bridge
in its place, and the uncoui>ling of tho
<lnn<W in the face of an advauTT
ing train was an act of criminal

the Southern question having been n
from the arena, as a bone of coutentif n be-

is no longer available in the warfare be tween
the two national plirties. Grumble
may, the essential truth is too plain |to be
denied. Old causes of quarrel are fdr the
time exhausted. Old cries are no more
availa'ole. Events may renew the v tality
of both ; but until they do, it were as lensi-
ble to beat the air as to act on the su >posi-
tion that tho adoi«tion or rejection of tlhis or
that resolution relalting to tho Soutl will
have any appreciable effect upon the popu-
lar mind. Other topics fill it, to tlio ;xclu-
sion of the sectionalism long predon inant
in party policy ; and the wisdom or weak-
ness of party leaders will bo demons ;rated
by tho manner in iwhich they prepf re to
meet the altered aspect of affairs.
Mr. Lamar only echoes an obvious truth
when , ho emphasizes questions of fii anee,
indn.sfry, and commerce as the que itions

the danger incident to recklessness am I bad
faith in finance, not to tho po isible
disregard of constitutional and e( uita-
ble obligations on the part of the S outh.
There are grave causes of anxiety c n all

themselves with sympathetic griev-
ances or 'With the possibilities of
a grievance yet undeveloped. Their
main consideration is how best to tide over
this period of depression and distress. Their
good sense preserves them from the folly
of imagining that it is the function or within
the power of Government, by the creation of
a bureau, or the issue of an edict, or the en-
actment of a law, to render them prosper-
ous. They feel, however, that they are
entitled to all the help which Government
can legitimately afford by lessening the load
of taxation, by curtailing expenses in every
department, by so revising the tariff as to
stimulate the trade and industry which now
it crushes, by fostering commerce with other
lands, and by pursuing a financial policy
that shall re-establish confidence and vindi-
cate the nation's pledge.
As regards all these objects one thing is
to be remembered which should moderate
partisan rancor and change the calculations
of those who have been accustomed to ap-
peal exclusively to party agencies in the de-
termination of disputed questions. Neither
party! can pretend to be immaculate. The
vagai^ies of the Ohio KepubUcans as illus-
trated in their silver plank, in the nomina-
tion of a man addicted to the mischievous
nonsense which has, so far, been the chief
characteristic of Judge West, and in the
concession of controlling influence to dema-
gogues of the stamp of Mr. Stanley Mat-
thews, are well fitted to restrain party ex-
ultation. Add to these sigfis of demoraliza-
tion the proofs that the tendency to repu-
diate which is involved in the unqualified
demand for theromonelization of silver is ap-
parent in the Republican ranks in the West-
ern States, and it were nncandid to deny that,
ill this respectat least, a section of the Repub-
lican Party is false to what has hitherto been
one of its most honorable traditions. The
position is not improved by the declaration
that, even in Ohio, and in dealing with the
financial question, tlio Republicans are not
so bad as the Democrats. About the fact
itself there can be no controversy. The Re-
publican proposition respecting finance is
an absurd muddle merely ; the Democratic
propositions are explicit in their iniquity.
Kor one West or one >Lvtthews among tho
Uepublicans there are a dozen among the
Democrats. Besides, there is evidently an
element in the Kepublican Party which re-
fuses to bow the knee to the Baal of repudi-
ation,! while the Ohio Democrats are a unit
in its >vorship. Those are differences that
ought' not to be lost sight of. After all,
however, it is imi)ossible to shake off the
impression that tlic ordinary party lines
cannot be drawn in the struggle for the
maintenanee of the public credit and for the
overthrow of the pretensions put forward by
the advocates of silver as an unlimited legal
tender. If we are to have sound finance,
n 'sumption in IsT'.t, and an honest fulfill-
ment of the nation's obligations to its cred-
itors, the worn-out shibboleths of party
must be discarded and the good men of both
parlies brought together to repel the attacks
of tlio common enemy.
Wliat is true of finance is eipially true of
other (luestions whose just and early settle-
ment is essential lo the country's improve-
ment. The tariff controversy is not be-
tween! ordinary parties, but between con-
llicting principles ami interests. We have
to consider whether the t'ustoms duties
shall, be arninged for tho benefit of monop-
olists or, primarily, for the purposes of
revenue, and, indirectly, for the promotion
(if industry and trade. Again, to lighten
the burdens of the people, and to
facilitate economical measures of
the Government, the Treasury needs
to be vigilantly guarded against applicants'
for subsidies. If these are to be defeated,
votes and help will be reciuired from both
sides. The Texas-Pacific is not a respecter
of pai'ties in laying down its wires and bar-
gaiuiiig for support, and to frustrate its
plans party differences will have to be ig-
nori.-d. These examples might be multi-
plied indefinitely. They are sufficient, how-
ever, to prove the folly of the reiteration of
stale party declarations, and the absolute
necessity of alliances outside of party for
the prbraotion of interests common to all.
than one will find in any community of equal
population in any part of England. A pa-
rade of " resources " and vacant lands is
made, every now and then, with the avowed
intention of enticing settlers. Within a
few days we have seen a glowing aecotmt of
the departure of a colony from Massachu-
setts to an extreme Western State, and the
colonists seemed to think that they were
journeying to a promised Land. The real
facts are, as we very<. well know, that the
public land in that State is all gone, the de-
sirable tracts are held by speculators, the
prices of produce were never so low, the
labor market is overstocked, and the people
ought to hang out a sign warning off all in-
tending settlers.
In such a condition of affairs as this, it is
not surprising that skilled workmen should
begin to ask if there cannot be somewhere
found another market for their labor. If
there coiUd be discovered a country in which
men made and spent money but produced no
manufactured goods, argue these discon-
tented workmen, it would be a great boon.
There is no such cotmtry. In every civil-
ized State in the world production hag been
over-stimulated. The products of tho loom
and workshop glut nearly every market. It
seems hopeless for the working man to turn
his eyes toward Europe, though some are
doing so. Questions of tho cost of living,
taxes, and the various benefits which we
call " advantages," must be considered
after the mere rate of wages is ascertained.
Very likely some of the men who are now
returning, or thinking of returning, to the
Old World, came out here under a false im-
pression. They heard glowing half-truths of
the condition of things in America. They
go back disappointed.
The short-sighted policy of our own
mechanics has had much to do with at-
tracting foreign artisans to our work-
shops. jOue of the cruel exactions of the
.American tfades-unioji has been that
which practically abolished apprenticeships.
It wa.* urged that apprentices, after
getting ! a smattering of a trade,
would compete with skilled workmen,
or " full hands," and cut down
wages. As if the skilled mechanic could
not successfully contend with a half-taught
boy ! By the tyrannical rules of the unions,
the good old system of apprenticeships was
destroyed, and the immediate result was to
limit tlie labor supply. Fathers who
thought that their boys' welfare was
dear to them, selfislily voted to ex-
clude their sons from learning the trades
of their fathers. The very next result
was the encouragement of foreign skilled la-
liorers, and tho importations did not help to
dignify labor, or make the trades any more
<iesirable to young men. Tho more lament-
able conclusion was that boys who should
have learned trades gi-ew up in idleness and
became graduates in crime. A prominent
citizen of San Francisco, speaking in a
mass-meeting during the late riots, consid-
ered the '•hoodlmn" question, and said that
these rowdies were originally boys who
could not get work. Parents, he said, had
requested Iiim to get their boys places in
foundries and machine-shops, where they
could learn a trade. As soon as a boy went
in, the mechanics went out on a strike.
Therefore, the streets of that city were filled
with idle youngsters who were ripe for the
deWl's business. This is true uf other cities
than San Francisco. And in various ways
the working men of the country- are reaping
the bitter fruits of their own folly. Innu-
merable causes have combined to prostrate
business. But the general public would now
have more s\-mpathy with the complainers
if it could forget that in their more pros-
perous days they were prescriptive, selfish,
and domineering.
A MIGKATIOy OF LABOR.
Some comment has naturally been excited
by the statement that skilled laborers are
emigrating to Europe from the United
States. This movement, which is not yet a
formidable one, has been treated with cau-
tion by the Araeriean press. In the first
place, it looks like an experiment. During
the past ten years, at intervals, we have had
conspicuous announcements that American
manufactures were being exported to Great
Britain. Usually, the goods forming this
novel exportation have been those of a class
which we have, for years, imported under
serious drawbacks. By and by, however,
the novelty of our new export has fallen off,
and with \t has disappeared all the profit
which the American manufacturers were
reported to have been making. It has
turned out that the goods could be sold in
Europe at a smaller loss than was involved
in keeping them on hand at home. And that
was tho end of the matter. In the next place,
if the labotl export is not a doubtful experi-
ment, it has, at least, been conducted on
such a small scale that it can be made to
prove nothing. It is a startling statement
that the price of labor is so reduced in the
United Statjes that our skilled workmen can
better themselves by going abroad to com-
pete with "the pauper labor of Europe."
Until this ^o-called emigration is of appre-
ciable dimensions, however, it is not worth
anxious consideration.
But it would be a significant and striking
emigration if it should ever take place. It
would be something like a sudden change in
the balauce of trade. It would be, practi-
cally, returning to Europe the skilled labor
which has poured in upon us for many years.
At this moment, under all sorts of dis-
couragbment, some of the States maintain
agencies which strive to divert to in-
dividual States the larger share of for-
eign immigration arriving on our shores. It
has so long been the belief of
the people of the younger States that
they only needed labor to develop their
riches, that no period of depression,
no overstocking of the labor market, has
sufficed to warn them to stop importation.
Even while some of the far Western States
are harassed with labor troubles and pros-
trated by the effects of dull times, their
newspapers keep up their old, old cry for
immigration, just as if there were not now
more idle men in their towns and vilhures
ACADKillES OF ART.
Institutions like the Paris Salon, the
Royal Academy of Art in London, and the
Academy of Design in New- York, are estab-
lished for the encouragement of what is
popularly called art, that is to say, the arts
of drawing, pahititig, and sculpture. In the
United States there are at present few of
these establishments, but signs are not
'lacking lof a tendency to multiply them in
all large; towiis which possess enough citi-
zens of wealth who are interested in such
productsof brainand skill. Xeces:sarii\', large
amountslof money will be locked up'- in build-
ings of greater or less pretension to beauty of
architecture, land perhaps iu the founding
of art schoolslike the South Ken.siugtou, the
Beaux Ar;t.^, or the Cooper Institute. Ifsuell
is to be the case, it would be well if donors
of funds and committeemen could regard
the question from all sides before fixing in
certain grooves the money that might other-
wise be spent to better advantage.
In the first place, do academics of art
encourage art ? If by art one under-
.staiuls the lower form.s, like house decoration,
whether ! applied to the walls of dwellings
or the furniture within, then the answer
is. plainly a favorable one. Academies 'of
art, art schools, and the other systems of
drill in processes that come under the head
of art certainly raise the average ability of
a community in the faculty of embellishing
the interior of houses. The South Kensing-
ton turns !ouD a , corps of very creditable
imitators in art every year ; the Beaux Arts
is even miore efficient in training
material j I which is much more, sus-
ceptible I to the influence of art-ideas ;
while trie Caoper Institute, the schools
of the lAcidemy of Design aud of
its seceding members, together with
the differeiiti associations for the pro-
motion of decorative art, educate a largo
number of young people of both sexes up to
a certain point of efficiency in processes
that havp' a certain money value in the
market. ! The same may be said of similar
schools in Boston, New-Haven, Chicago,
and Cincinnati. But their serrices stop
there ; it is not art in the high sense tliat
they offer, but rather a means of getting
bread ; the enuoivragement to art in the
highest form is only collateral and 'indirect.
Not only that; but the very effort 'to make
pupils efficient in the lower or merely bread-
earning stage^ interferes with the progress
toward the laiger sphere of art.
The arts of painting and sculpture differ
immeasurably from the subjects taught at
academies aud colleges. While, to a cer-
tain extent, the necessity for adapting
methods of instruction in colleges to the
average of I pupils drags down the best minds
among th^in, the trouble is much more se-
rious in I art |8ohools. A system of some
kind is ne<!essary with the wisest and most
cainstakinK teacher. As a role the best
talent can not be secored to instruct
the pupils, and they are forced
'to put up with the cut-and-dried
science of a man of little character
or success as an artist. The cleverest and
most fertUe brains are hardly stimulated by
comparison with the work of inferior
pupUs; on the contrary, they are apt to
acquire a fatal contentment with their own
powers when they see how easy it is to be
superior to their fellows. Yet such excep'-
tional talents as these are very apt to turn
out the pride of the art professor, and
graduate from the school into a studio which
produces a yearly quota of paintings that
are the despair of art lovers and critics.
Perspective in such paintings is unexcep-
tionable, the color often good, and, occa-
sionally, the subject well chosen. But they
cannot be praised. They are the
stuimbling-block of the genial critic and the
occasion for the harsh critic to say his, ap-
parently, most unjust things. They are
' ' schooly," that is all. The school has made
the painter a good workman of salable pic-
tures at modest prices ; but it has not en-
couraged art. A school cannot encourage
art in that sense, any more than a pond can
encourage the sun that shines in it. The
most that can be said for a school is to argue
that the genius who can stand its leveling
tendencies will emerge strengthened from
its dangerous precincts.
Equally antagonistic to true art are fidl-
blown academies of design like those of
Paris, London, and New-York, although an
anxious regulation of their acts and a large
share of generosity in their members may
modify their evil features. In Paris various
devices are resorted to in order to make up
for the injustice with which some of the
finest talent is treated, if it happens to differ
from the authorities of the Salon. In Lon-
don the Grosvenor Gallery has just been
opened to show that the Royal Academy
eanijot accept the . best pictures, or at
any rate the most interesting pictures," of
the season. In this City, the Academy
of Design is liable to become at any
moment, if it has not already become, a
close artistic corporation, so far as accept-
ing pictures for exhibition is concerned,
which would infallibly reject the contribu-
tions of a genius. For it is one of the pe-
culiarities often seen in the work of the best
artists that their paintings rouse the great-
est hostility in others of their guild until
their style has become familiar. The pub-
lic want something fresh and new and the
fraternity of artists want something fresh
and new, but when the novelty appeals it
seldom takes a form that suits the members
of the profession. That it should be so is no
wonder, for they are men who have been
doing their own work according to certain
fixed principles wiiich they have been forced
to consider law.
The gi'eatest artists have.been reared in the
studios of older men and were free to leave
whenever they wished ; they got a desultory
instruction; like that of the midshipmen of
the X'avy before the Naval Academy was
established. Iu some respects their educa-
tion was not so liberal, but, as some of the
midshipmen turned into commanders of
brilliant genius, so an apprentice here aud
there became a great master in art. Before
multiplying academies of design and schools
of art, it must be remembered that nothing
more than a high mediocrity can be ex-
pected from them. The schools are liable
to nip real genius in the biid, and the ex-
hibiting academies to snub it. There is no
need of accusing academies of sordid motives
in excluding good work from their exhibi-
tions, although such considerations are
doubtless occasionally felt, for the artistic
yardstick with which they cannot fail to
measure the contributions of new men
makes them necessarily impervious to new
ideas.
PAISTED HEADS.
At a certain unspecified town in this
State there_ resides an indefinite man, who
is bald and conscientious. Although a
delicate regard for his feelings forbids the
mention of his name, it will perhaps be
well to render him somewhat less in-
definite by gi^^ug him tho timely name of
Dolgorouski. Notliing has been left tmtried
by Mr. Dolgorouski to bring back his miss-
ing hair. The conversation of barbers aore
long time ho bore, and tonics were in
vain. Scores of alleged bears have
died in onler that his head might be
sn'eased, but the most thorough toi>-dressing
produced no more effect upon his scalp than
does the most powerful fertilizer when
wasted on the granite meailows of Xew-
Ilampshire. At one time he seriously pro»
posed to tr.ansplant small patches of cat's
fur from the backs of ownerless eats to the
bare surface of his head, but the entreaties
of his horrified friends, who fSared that tlie
experiment might affect his moral nature
and inspire him with wicked longings for
the back fence, induced him to abandon the
scheme. He finally gave up all hopes of
futajre hair, and accepted his baldness as a
misfch'tune without a remedy.
Now, Mr. Dolgorou.ski was extremely fond
of obej-ing the apostolic injunction to assem-
ble himself together for public worship. In
other words, he was a devoted Methodist,
and took unbounded delight in going to
meeting. Unfortunately, the local Methodist
meeting-house was subject to \-ioleut
draughts of wind, which constantly gave
Mr. Dolgorouski a succession of colds in the
head. Other men who wore their hair to
meeting could sit through a long sermon
without taking cold, but the bare head of t'ne
bald man could not resist the draughts that
blew from one window to another. In this
emergency two courses were suggested to him
by his acquaintances. He was advised either
to wear a skull-cap or to wear a wig. To an
ordinary man either of these alternatives
might seem unobjectionable, but Mr. Dol-
gorouski's conscience was even more
tender than his scalp. He refused to wear
a skull-cap on the ground that it was vir-
tually a hat, and that notluug could induce
ViiTu to attend a religious meeting with a hat
on his head. As for a wig, he denounced
that ingenious device as a palpable false-
hood. He insisted that a bald man who
should wear a wig would be guilty of a de-
liberate lie, since he would be aiming to in-
duce people to believe that he was possessed
of hair grown on his own premises. An
acted lie, said Mr. Dolgorouski, is worse
than a spfoken lie, and no matter how in-
credible a wig may be, it is none the less a
premeditated falsehood.
Mr. Dolgorouski was tlufs, by his rejec-
tion of wi2s aud skall-cuDs. autiarently
confined to the alternative of going to
meeting and sneezing, or of staying at home
and avoiding the danger of taking cold.
He was, however, a singularly ingenious
man, and he set his wits at work to devise
an escape from this dilemma. He perceived
that what he needed was something which
would keep his scalp from contact with the
air, and would at the same time be inoffen-
sive to his delicate conscience. It so hap-
pened that just at this time the interior of
the Methodist meeting-house was receiving
a fresh coat of paint, and this circumstance
suggested the idea which Mr. Dolgorouski
speedily put in practice.
One Sunday morning the minister became
aware that his congregation was in a state
of tmu&al excitement. At first he was in-
clined to explain this excitement upon the
theory that his presence in the pulpit was
peculiarly welcome to ■ the audience, but as
the excitement constantly increased,^ he de-
cided that there must be a stray dog in the
house. Rising up to look for the hypotheti-
cal animal, in order to remark in an impres-
sive voice, "Take that dog out!" he was
confounded by a vision of red and white
stripes in one of the most prominent pews.
To his startled imagination there appeared
to be a display of fashionable hosiery in cir-
cumstances which Involved the hypothesis
of the wildest eccentricity on the p.art of
some hysterical sister, but as he contin-
ued to keep his horrified gaze fixed
upon the stripes, he became aware
that the decorated head of ilr. Dolgorou-
ski was before him. That conscientious
man had painted his scalp with red and
white paint with the utmost care and neat-
ness, and, as it afterward appeared, in imi-
tation of the flag of his country. Naturally,
his extraordinary appearance had attracted
the attention of every one present, and h^
a yellow dog seated himself and panted on
the pulpit stairs, the enthusiasm could not
have been greater. It was obWously im-
possible to preach with that variegated
head distracting the minds of the congrega-
tion, and the minister, therefore, calmly
requested Brother Dolgorouski to with-
draw. The brother declined to do anj-thing
of the sort, aud the upshot was that he was
led forth by four muscular deacons, loudly
protesting that he was a persecuted man,
.and that he had as much right to put paint
on his head as certain female-members of
the congregation had to put powder on their
faces. ^
The ecclesiastical trial of Brother Dolgo-
rouski for profaning public worship is soou
to take place, and it would be injudicious
to prejudice public opinion either against
or in favor of him. It may be remarked,
however, that his position seems to the
worldly mind to be a strong one. He
claims that paint gives complete protec-
tion to a bald scalp, and that it partakes
neither of the irreverence of a ^at nor the
dishonesty of a wig. It does not pretend to
be what it is not, but it is simply au honest
and beautiful covering, whether applied to
the walls of a meeting-house or the head of
a worshiper. He indignantly denies that
he had the most remote intention of fash-
ioning his novel head-dress upon any
article of feminine apparel, and pro-
tests that, until he was so in-
formed by the minister, he was totally
unaware that such Babylonish garments as
striped hosierj- were to be found in a nomi-
nallv Christian laud. He painted his head
with stripes instead of decorating it iu
monotone because he wished to combine
patriotism with comfort, and believed t'uat
the stripes of our national banner would not
be out of place on the head of a sincere
patriot. Finally, he insists that there is no
law, ecclesiastical or civH, which forbids a
bald man to paint his bead, and declares
that, although he will compromise the dispute
by promising to paint his head with maps of
Palestine or Scriptural scenes, he will never
surrender his natural right to protect his
scalp in the way that he thinks most con-
venient and proper.
It is difficult to see how Mr. Dolgorouski
can be found guilty of the offense with
which he is charged. His acquittal will
naturally encourage other bald men to fol-
low his example. In fact, there is no reason
why they should not do so. Care, however,
should be taken to, use only %vater-color3.
Oil paints, with a basis of lead or zinc, and
all aniline dyes, must be avoided, since
they might seriously affect the health of the
users. The artistic painting of bald heads
may j'et become a new branch of the bar-
ber's art, and the men who are now anxious
to paint historical pictures for the Federal
Government may be able to earn in honest
living by decorating the bare heads of
Venerable Senators aud other hairless pub-
lic men.

Washtngtox. A^ig. 9.— The letter of Mr.
Kemble regarding the money paid to Secretary
Scburz for electioneering expenses has created
quite a stir in political circles here. It seems to
be the general opinion that the communication
is an exceedingly damaging one. Mr. Schurz,
however, does not seem to take this view
of the matter. He speaks very freely on
the subject, and evidently regards the
Kemble letter as a confession that the original
story of his having received $1,500 for having
delivered the same speech three times is a false-
hood. During an interview had with him to-
day he said that Kemble had now come down
from $500 a day to $50O for a week in 'l-*:>00
and iy68, a reduction to about one-sixth of the
original charge ; that Mr. Kemble would have to
come down considerably more, and spread it not
over one, but over several weeks, during which
he (Mr. Schurz) had been active in Penntylvifc-
nia. Htr said further, that h^r never denied hav-
ing received compt-nsittion for campaign work.
During the year referred to in Kemble's letter,
he had labored for months in Pennsylvania and
other States, and ii was absolutely necessary for
h'im to receive bomo pay for the work: This was,
generally understood at the time by all his
friends. Now, however, the whole niatitr was
being grossly and maliciously lied at>out.

it up to $500 a speech. This was all the Secre-

AFFIDAVIT OP EX-SPECIAL AGENT MO'.iB2
ALLEGING AN ATTEMPT TO ELACS-MAlL
HIM BY BOYNTON— HISTORY OP THE
VkSAVORY controversy!
Spinal Dispatch to the yetc-York Timx*.
tVASHiNGTON. Aug. 9. — A small tempest
in a teapot has been raging here for some days,
which results in William U- Moore, a recently
dismissed special agent of the Customs Bureau,
making afiidavit that Gen. H. V. Boyutou,
"Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gaz€tU, attempted to black -mail lum ou
the strength of some documents which
he [Boynton] bad to show that Moora
had been guilty of disreputable practices.
Those who knew both Boyntun and Mo*>re have
no hesitation iu pronouncing this afiidavit
perjuK'. although it may be possible that Moore
has, with a vivid imagintitioE. con\inced him-
self that something Boynton has Siiid to him
was a demand for money. Moore is a spy by '
profession and practice, and in souie strange
way secured the confidence of Gen. Grant
during the last few months of his term, and
abused that confidence in various ways. Ont
of his prjpcipa! offices at that time was to moke
long writ^n reports to President Grant of aVl
the scanddl in the Treasury Df;i>artment. and
especially that relating to Mr. Bristow and
Bluford Wilson. When Fi-esident Grant went
out of office. Mooi^. having made himself
obnoxious to nekrly e verj* ] ironiiueijt
officer in the Trt-asury Deparinient,
feared that he should lose his place, und yt-y-
cured from President Grant a strong letter to
Secretary Sherman commending: bim aud ask-
ing his retention. In his reports to Pr«»4deDt
Gmnt in regard to wliat has been called the
Briatow con*;piracy. Moure made very free use
of Gen. Boynton's name, and President
Grant having sent tht; documents over
to be filed in the Treastiry Depart-
ment, Boynton in, some way got acre-ss
to them, and hr.s from time to time jirinted
such extracts as he believed would be interest-
ing to the public. Among these papers he
found much regarding Moore's chararTer and
transactions, which, to say the least, have
not been always creditable, and -ioine ' '
Time ago he presented an exhibit of
Moore to President Hayes. The President,
having confidence in Boynton. at once ordered
Moore's dismissal, but. as he was engaged on an
important investigation, his dismissal was post-
poned till he should have completed it. Moore
rushed into print the other day "with an attack
ou Boynton; the latter retort-ed with a short
but wholesome review of -Moore's record;
Moore returns to tlie charge, and publLshes this
momingan affidavit charpng Boynton with at-
tempting to black-mail him. and there the •
matter stands for the present, but interesting
developments are expected to follow.

"W.\sniNGTON, Aug. 9. — Secretary Mills,
of the Canadian Interior DepartmenL has been
in Washington for two days, having come here
to consult with Mr. Plunket. ;>ecretarv of the
British Legation, -who is acting as Cbar^
d'Affaires during the absence of Sir Kd-

the Secretary of the Interior and tb«

an important coE«ultation was bad in re;;ard<d
Sitting Bull and his band of warriors v.ho are
known to be somewhere in the British possea-
sions. having taken refuge over the boiJer to
avoid the pursuit of the United States tftjnpa,
Mr. Mills has recent information from the out-
posts on the frontier of the Dominion, from,
which it is learned that Sitting Bull has ex-
pressed his desire to surrender to the United
States authorities, aud return to an
agency, provided he can do so on his
own terms, which are, that he be alloweti to re:
tain possession of his arms and ponies, and that
neither he nor his tril>e shall be punished foi
past offenses. Mr. Mills' information is lo the
effect that Sitting Bull has not l»e?n prospta^ue
this Summer in his hunting campaigns,
and will be unablp to sustain himself an^
his tribe during the coming "Winter. He
sees no alternative but to subsist on
the Canadian Government, (which Secretary
Mills will not allow him to do,) or to stirreiider
himself to t)ie United States and live on ;igency
rations all Winter. He cannot support himself
by raidityr settlements, beiause the North -west-'
efn frontier is now so well guardt^ by the
military that it would be fatal for him to attempt
to do so. The Canadhm frontier is not so
well - guarded as ours. and for this
reason Secretary Mills is very anadlous that
something should be done to remove SittingBuU
out of the way of temptation. He is quite san-
guine that if a Commissioner were sent to the
chief from the United States that he would con-
sent to come into an agency. Secretary 'Schur**
and Commissioner Smith Are not so hopeful, and
they will not consent to treat with Mm on any
terms whatever. except the absolute
surrender of all his ponies and armg
and ammunition. The other Sioux have
accepted these terms, and Sitting Bull must be
treated with no greater consideration. Secre-
tary' Schurz will bring tlie matter before the
Cabinet to-morrow, and if the President'* as-
sent can be obtained, a Commissioner will be
sent out at once.

A fearful accident, and providentially 0 ae
that did not result in IVamediate loss of li In,
took place yesterday morning on the Lc ng
Branch Division of the Central Railroad of N« w-
Jersey. The train from this City at 7:45 A. M.
left Communipaw with a baggage car and f 0 ar
coaches, and carrying a large number of pass< n-
gers. A number were taken up at several s »-
tions along the road, and at Bed Bank, by he
addition of a large excursion party from t) at
place and Holmdel, the number was n-
creased to fully 200. The train tl en
ran along at a rapid rate towi rd
Long Branch, Oceanport Creek, half-w ay
between Long Branch and Red Bank, is cross ea
by a wooden bridge, about 500 feet in leng th.
In the centre of the bridge is an iron swing ng
draw- 140 feet long. As the train approached at
9:24 o'clock, the bridge- tender was seen stand ng
at has post before the flag-house on the draw. < iia-
playing the signal '* allright."and thetrainhiv-
ing slightly reducea its speed when approachi ig,
started along again at a more rapid rate a 1 it
touched the spiling, and the speed was increa: ed
to about 10 miles an hour, according to he
statements of paswngei^. The engine pas- ed
upon the draw safely, but the rear truck of t lie
tender left the track ; the first passenger tar
followed it, and then the next. The enyi le.
upon reaching the furthclr end of the draw, : an
off the tracks, which wei"o now disconnecttj d,
the whole train bounding along after it on 1 he
ties, tearing them intol spUnters as it drt ve
along. The engineer reversed his engice, i nd
the brakes were applied. ] It was too late, h< w-
ever. for the engine plunged over the s de
of the bridge and down the sand-bai k,
flinging out the engineer and fireman as
it turned over in a wild somersai It-
There was a rush of steam from broken pi )es
which was quickly lost in the crashing of ti tn-
bers, for the ba!:;gage-car ran up over the wr ck
of the locomotive, turned completely upsii lo-
down on the land, and in the twinkling of an
eye was converted into a mass of splint* rs,
upon which were piled the broken true <s.
The passenger car immediately behind the b ig-
gage car was turned qjver on its side on ho
river shore, while the third and fourth cars ell
with a splash upon their aide» in the river, si ik-
ing to the depth of about three feet. Tlie ft rh
car fortunately became disconnected, aud \vl en
the others fell into the river it stopped upon he
very edge of the bridge.
The scene which ensued was a terrible o 16.
There was a scream of alarm from 2the pa.'i^ Mi-
ners, many of whom, in their eagerness to I'S-
cape from the partly submerjied cars, broke ho
^lass in the windows, and endeavored to cri w]!
through the narrow openings.; Their screa nn
for help for a few nn^ments were inter -Ytf.
agonizing, and loud. The passengers in hjO
last car. which stood on the bridge, but off hp
track, quickly hastened to the relief of ' he
others, and soon be";an the work of remov ng
them. The men of the party descended to 1 he
side of the overturned cars, and passed up
the wet and wounded men. women, and
children, dragging them out at the doorwi vs
and thronjfh the wiudowsas quickly as possif fe.
Inside the cars the scene, as de.<<*ribed by sevt ral
of the passengers, was one of the most terri jU*
description. When- the cars fell over all he
passengers were violently thrown from thL*ir
seats to the opposite side, where they w ;re
piletl up under cushions, umbrellas, llits of
broken glass and other lyo.se ajrticles that w jre
carried over with the pliibijG. ' '
In the first submereetl, ciir, 3Ir. Moses Moi Id
and his wife, of Montgomery. Orange Couny.
X, v.. were pitched from the risht side of 1 he
car into the water at the opposite side. I Ir.
Mould, who is about 0Oyi;arsot'age, wasstuni ed
bv the fall, and he lay in the water as he f 11.
liis wTfe. whose shoulder was dislocated, 1 >er
collar-bone broken, and herbreast badly injur W.
raised him up and supported him until she \ '&h
relieved by one of the assisting party. Mr.
Mould was c-arried away insensible. C in-
ductor Hetfield. who : ha<l charge of he
train. was in the fourth car. f nd
was about passing to the fifth When the accid nt
happened, ^lien the car toppled ho escaj ed
through a window, and. althojugh he had re
ceived a fearful gash across his nose and chee iS.
he sent to Oceanport station to have a re] ief
train teletfraphed for. ami then joined he
party engaged in assistine the inmate.s of
the overturned cars. Seiarch ^an made ag lin
and again through the c^rs for passengers, 1 ut
at the end of 15 minute.'j or perhaps earlier it
was believ|ed that every persons who had b» en
on tho train was on the bridge or on hr»
way to some of the neighboring house's. The
accident was witnessed by many persons li^"^ iig
near the bridge, and soon after they hurried to
the so^ne, bringing boats, which were put to
good use in carrying awaiy the Wet and iniui ed
passengers. Ladies in the party went upon 1 he
bridge, where they found .several elderly Iiwd j-s
who were .severely shockrHl, aud who neec cd
and received their attentions. ; j
The excitement quickly pass!?d off, and th< so
who could TOnt about th(; task i>t caring for t tie
wounded, t'arriages appeared upon the bniik,
and in these some of the! most .severely injuied
were carried to the nearest houses. Eve y-
thing was done by the residents of Oceanp trt
that could have bec-n expected. They fre ly
opene<l their hou.ses and personally it-
tended to the wants of the imf )r-
tunates. After some delay th(i special train »r-
rived from Lonsi Branch, and four of the m »st
danperitusly wounded were put on board, n !id
altogetlier about *-i(> persons were carrie*! to 1 he
Branch and Oc<%n Grove. The Holmdel n nd
Red Bank people were taken back toward tli ?Ir
homes by carriages. Araon^ the passengers In
the rear car was Dr. Uidgeway. of Red Baik,
who immediately turned his "attenti<m to Ihe
wounded, and spent tho rest of the day in
serving them.
The number of persons injured, seriously, a 'id
slightly, is not less than 70, but it was diffic lit
yesterday to ascertain precisely the number, so
thoroughly had they been scattered about all
the wav from Holmdel to Ocean CTrove:_j4*Jjc ng
Branch in the station were Miss DeGraff a nd
Mr. and Mrs. Mould, all too badly injured to
move, aud Mr." J.acoby was at Morris Pa^Tlii ^n.
At Oceanport, in the house of ^Ir. Smock. ^ [r.
Hyde and two others were provii ed
for, an injured lady! was at the hoi se
of Capt. Price, ] and three ot)i -rs
were at the Park Hotel. lalx>ut IG in all rema u-
ing in the town for the nji^ht. During the afti;r-
nbon Assistant Superintendent Steams react ed
the .scene, with Dr. Pejtit, of Elizabeth, and
he devoted himself assiduously to the care of
such of the wounded asl were in need of me lli-
cal services. Portions of the wreck were imi le-
diately removed, and the track was cleared, so
that but little interruption • was oc :a-
sioned to travel. The locomotive was hid-
den beneath the ruined baggage car, w th
its smoke-stack broken off, its cab crush' d.
and its tender demolished. While the bagga :e-
car was so thoroughly ruined, most of the b .g-
^age was recovered and taken care of, and 1 he
mails were entirely uninjured. The mail age it,
Ellis Meeker, escaped uninjured from the c ir,
which was broken to pieces, thouerh how he « id
it he could not explain.
ACCOUKTINO FOR , THE ACCIDEN-T.
A variety of explanatibns are offer,ed by ( if-
ferent persons to accoun^ for the accident. Ihe
bridge-tender, George Connor, has occnp ed
the post since the bridge was built, ab( ut
three years ago, and is called by the oflBcers < ne
of the best men In their employment. .He a id
to a reporter of The Times that he had iiot
during the morning touched t^e lever whi ch
moved the latches securing the draw, and tl lat
five trains had passed over during the mornii ig.
He did not,hesaid, noticehow thelever stood, 1 ut
believed that if it had been improperly arranj ed
he would have noticed it. He showed how he
lever worked, across an arched guard uj on
which it locked automatically to hold ' he
bridge or allow it to be opened- He s dd
that none but himself, except the nicht
man, worked the draw. Just before the 9: 2-4
train came alon^, Capt; Price's sail-boat lad
come down the nver, aiid he was about to 01 en
the draw for it as soon aA the train had pass )d.
He had not, he said, thrown the lever back, t nd
his theory for the I displacement of he
latches, which he found open after the accide nt,
was that in some way they were sprung back by
the jolting of the train, j Mr. Swaekhamer, he
Superintendent of Bridges, said that the late les
were fotmd open after *^'* train- had nasaJML
and there was no doubt that they were op^
when the train passed upon the draw. The
marks of the wheels on the ties showed that
the engine had gone safely on. The swaying of
the engine had moved the draw enough
to throw off the tender and the
baggage car. and when the locomotive reached
the end of the draw the tracks were all six inches
out of the way. The train must have been
moving rapidly, or the engineer could
Jiave stopped it sooner. Mr. Swaekhamer
said it was impossible that any
iolting of the train could have thrown back the
lever and latches, which require considerable
strength to move them, and when locked are
very secure indeed. Assistant Superintendent
Steams did not deny that the latches were
found out of place, but would say nothing
further as to the culpability of the bridge-tender.

a rivil engineer and City surveyor, ofNtj. IH

New-Jer?iey Southern Road, and was immedi-
ately .sent tjr> his home inStapletou, Staten Island.
A reporter jof THETiME,scaIIe«l alMr. liostwick's
house last eveniug for the purpose of obtaining
bis account of the accident. The injured
man lay ! in bed, suflFerintr a good dtal
of pain ' from three broken rib.s. but
ijeemed otherwise comfortable, and not-
witlistamling the Doctor's iiistmction.s
not to tjdk. he gave a brief account of what he
saw and suffered. He was sitting in the car
i^ext to the last, and uoticttl when it m-mnted
the track. He seized hold of the win-
dow frame, but being en the uprM-r side
a.« the c:u- tell the concu.-^sion broke hLs huld and
Jie fell, striking, as he .sui)jK>ses, on one
of the iron .seat frames. Having with
difficulty gained his feet, he set to work assistr
jng those about him. The scent-, he ."*ays, was
awful beyond description. Children wore cry-
^ats for their mothers, and mothers for their
children, whom they were powerless to help.
He does not think there was a person m
ihe car who was not hurt in some way.
Mr. Bostwick oj^ened the rear door of the car
and got out after rendering; all the aid in his
power, it l>eing some time before he discovered
that he was him.se1f much hurt. He
charge the accident to criminal negligence on
the part of employes in not securing the
draw in its proper place. He speaks in the high-
est terras of the kindness received by the in-
jured pas-jengers at the hands of the eitizeiLS,
Mr. Bo.'itwick tells a Ptrango atorj- of a woman
li\*'ng in the \-icinity of the bridge, who
reanie<l on Wedne-Sfiay night that an accident
ccurred there-in the morning, and who, in tho
orning,, t^ld her dream.
AFFAIRS IN JIAYTL
EATn op' ex-president dominque in ex-
ile—the FACT COLDLT RECEIVED— AP-
PREHEXSIOKS REGARDIKG THE ILLNESS
OF PRESIDENT CANAL.
Washington, Aug. 9. — Late dispatches
deceived at the Department of State from Hayti
Contain information of the death of ex-Presi-
dent Dominqne, and of the serious illness of
President Canal. Dominquo died in exile at
Kingston, Jamaica, on Jtme 2-k last, aged 77.
This event produces no perceptible effect in
Hayti, thef act being barely chronicled, although
he was chief piagistrate from June 11, 1874,
to April 15,4870. The official journal makes
no mention of it. One obscure gazette is draped
in mourning; another notices the event
in doleful terms. In striking contrast
to the silence with which this news
is received stands the fact that the
remains of three Generals who were shot under
Dominque's authority have recently been ex-
humed by the Government for the purpose of
receiving honorable burial, attended by impres-
sive ceremonies. The illness of President
Canal causes no inconsiderable uneasiness and
anxiety throughout the Republic, in conse-
quence both of its length and the fear that he
may ultimately feel obliged tojnake a voyage to
Europe. Indeed* his departure was at one time,
under the advice of physicians, determined upon.
Finally, owing to the advice of an American
physician, under whose care he is at present,
he was prevailed upon to he treated at
home. This favorable decision mav Im looked
npon as fortunate for the Republic, liable as it
is to undergo poUtlcal ^turbances at every
such change. The Constitution of Hayti pro-
vides that the executive authority shall, in case
of 4eath or removal from office of the President,
be handed over temporarily to the Cabinet, there
being no provision tn that instrument and no
precedent in Hiaytiun history — except that Son-
lonque, in war, tind Dominque, in a friendly
visit, went just over the Dominican frontiers —
whereby the President can ab.^ent himself from
the country during his term of office.
THE COTTON CROP,
EEPORTS FROM LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, AKD
ABKAKSA^— aHE CROP IN A FLOURISH-
ING CONpiTION.
NEW-ORLEAjf8, La., Aug. 9.— The follow-
ing is the Cotton Ilichange crop report for the
New-Orleans dfepai-tment of Louisiana :
""We have received 58 answers from 28 parishes
under dates ranging I from July 28 to Aug. 3. The
weather, during the early part of July, has been dry :
toward the latter portion, rainy, and up to this period
decidedly more favorable than last vear. Stands are
universally £:ood, and, compared w^th last year, are
much better. The jflant is forming, blooming, and
boiling' welL and its present condition is as satisfac-
tory as could be desired, and much better than it was
at this time last year- Many of our cwrrespondents
mention the appearance of worms, but, to far, re-
port no damage. The plant, although a little late,
is clean and well worked, and the prospects for a
good vield'are very promifeing.
" J/t#«mppi.— Eight vthree reports from 33 coun-
ties, dated HFom July 28 to Aug. 4, say the weather
since July 1 has been favorable, and m many coun-
ties more so than last year, with the exception of
Yazoo aud Valabush[i Counties, from whence com
plaints of too mtich raiii are made. Stands are good,
except in Yalabuslia County. The plant is forming,
blooming, and ' bolUiig well. The condition of the
crop is good, and fulJy as good as last year, although
the plMit Is small and backward in manv sections.
Worms have appeared In Adams. Grenada, Issaquena,
and Simpson Counties, but have done no d&mage so
•* Arkanscu. — I^'orty-four replies received from 25
counties, dated' froin July 28 lo Aug. 3. report the
w«'ather in the forepiart of July dr>' and cool, since
which there has beei too much rainy' weather, and.
in comparison with last year, has been about equally
favorable. The pl^nt Is blooming, forraine. anS
bollinc well. The present condition of the crop is as
favorable as last j'eiijr. with the ex''eption of its being
10 daj-s late. .Some (complaints of shed<ilng, rust, and
grass worms are reported iu one county, but there is
no danger yet."

LOSa OF A CAPTAiyS soxs.
The Portland (Me.) Press says: "Further
partietilars of tlie loss of life on board the ship Rem-
brandt, Capt. Moody, from San Francisco, which ar-
rived Iu Liverpool 25th ult., were received in Ken-
nebunk Mouday. The ship had a favorable run till
the 10th of May, when, In latitude 49° south, longi-
tude 97° west, a westerly gale had increased to
frifihtful proportions, the sea frequently boarding
the ship In the waist, doing more or les.s damage. In
the aflcruoou of that day, when the Captain's wife,
their two sons, and the stewardess were watching the
gale from the pilot-house, <a covered entrance about
8 feet square, protecting the entrance to the forward
cabin.) a great sea suddenly broke through the doors,
washing Sirs. Moody down the cabin stairs and into
the mate's room; ^-hero she was found inuch bruised
aud with her collar-bone broken. The stewardess was
forced through [the leo do^r aud washed round the
cabin into the port shrouds, where she was rescued
with two ribs ^o|ceD and other injuries. Nothing
was seen or hea^fd of the two boys, who were in-
stantly washed o|at into the foaming waves. As the
ship was scuddiilgjbetore a mighty gale, with such a
sea as no weU-maxuied life-boat comd live in, Capt.
Moody was powerless to make any attempt to save
the lads, the oSlcets and crew barely able to care for
themselves and the sufTerine women. Tho broken
bones of Mrs. Moody and the stewardess were set
the following day under the dl.sadvantages of a
raging sea, with cabiu doors and windows boarded
up, and hardly a dry spot to place them on. Mr. W.
O. Cotisens. the second mate, escaped without in-
jury, thougli washed across the top of the cabin. He
was saved uy clutching the lee ran. The women bad
nearly recovered from their accidents when the ship
arrived. The boys were the pnly children of Capt.
Moody, and pets pn board the ship, as well as be-
lovfed by their aogriaintances in Keimebunk."

man, of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, yester-
day informed Gtov. Carroll that it was useless to
attempt to further parley with the striking
canal-boatmen, and requested him to put in
force the measures to open the blockade that
were contemplated in the early part of the week
and postponed in the hope of settling affairs
peaceably. The Governor, therefore, this morn-
ing issued the following proclamation :
"Whereas it has been represented to me by the
State's Attorney of Washington County that the
travel upon the Chesai>eake and Ohio Canal, a pubUc
highway of this State, is impeded by riotous persons,
who. in open violation of law, have conspired to re-
sist the pasaase of boats engaged in their legitimate
business; and
^Vhe^eE«, valuable property belonging to citizens of
this State has been unlawfully buraod aud destroyed,
and the ci^'ll authorities represent that It is Impos-
siblftt for them to arrest and bring to justice the
offeifders ;
Therefore. I, John Lee Carroll, Governor of Mary-
land, do hereby issue this, my proclamation, com-
manding all persouH who are engaged in unlawfully
obstructing leicitlmate travel upon the said caual to
disperse at once; and I hereby call upon all law-
abiding citizens to aia the authorities Sn the execu-
tion of the law. and In tho arrest of persons who
have been engaged in rioting and the destruction of
Tiroperty. Aud I further give full notice aud warn-
ing that every means which the laws place In the
hands of the hxecutive shall be used, if necessarj-.
to \-indicate the authority of the State and protect
the citizens in tlieir rights to use the public highway
for the purposes of travel and trade.
Given at the City of Baltimore, under my hand and
the great seal of the .*Stuto of Mar\-laud, the Hth day
of Angust. 1877. JOHN LEE CAKKOLU
By order of tlie Governor.
R. C. HOLLyiMY, Secretary of State.
Orders were ishued lawt evening to the
Seventh Regiment to hold itself ready for
marching, and the Fifth Regiment and the First
Battalion of artillery were also ordered
to be in readiness. To avoid any repe-
tition of the scenes of riot of July
20, the military movements were kept a
profound secret. The Seventh Rcfrinient broKe
camp at daybreak, and at 0 o'clock left" Cam-
den Station 400 strong, for Sir John's Ruu,
the road station opposite Hancock, on the canal,
where the strikers have 300 boats fa.stened up.
The street.s were perfectly quiet, and there was
rio opposition made to the troops. The Fifth Regi-
lueiit and the Artillery- remain at their posts in
ruadine.sH to move at a minute's notice.
(ien. Barry, commandins at Fort McHenry.
was also callfd upon for aid, and he telesraphtd
Gt-n. Getty at Cuml>erlaud, who sent 200 regn-
lars to Sir John's Run. The bi>atnien have
shown a very defiant temper. Tliey have
organized H Urtjtherhood and established posts
along the line of tlnj canal. %vith hcad-quarti-rs
at Hancock, and allow no boat to pass unless
they uro satisfied that it is getting .$1 per ton
for (Uirryin;; coal to (jreor;,-otown, in which cas*?
thev furnish it with a pass to other posts.
\Vhcn the regular soldiers reached Hancock
this momin{^ they arrested nine boatmen who
Mere pointed out by the .Sheriff of Washington
County as ringleaders who had been engaged iu
the burning of a canal steamer last week. They
were placed under guard and immediately taken
to Hagerstowu aud lodged in jail. The boat-
men jeered at the troops, but made no active
demonstration. Tho Seveuth I^>giment ar-
rived this evening at Hancock, and dispatches
from there to-night say that the canal is open
aud the blockade raised. A few boats
loaded to till a Xew-York contrattt
passed through undor militarj' guard. The
troops wiil be stationed along the canal to po-
lice it and prevent the rutting of the tanks,
which has been threatened. The strike still
coniiuue.s, however, and there v:xn be no re-
sumption of busiuess unless tho miners anil
boatmen obtain their tlgrurt^s or acree to resume
work at what th*- shijipers and the conipnny
oJlor. Thi- boatmen's organization is solid iin<i
coutimufs to liold out. and there are but three
small mint'.H in operation throughout the Cum-
berland region. The breaking of tho blockade
has demonstrated the po-vcr of the State, but it
does not improve the situation so far as bujti-
ness is cuncorned.

Special DinpatrJi to the iVnc- Tvri Timei.
Baltimore, Md., Aug. 0. — The authorf-
lles of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad have
liad no conlidence in the rumor of a renewal of
the strike to-morrow, but to satisfy themselves
they to-day summoned to bead'quarters a nam
l)ep of the oldest and most loyal of the employes
among the train hands, including engineers,
tirenien, and brakeiuen, and questioned them
on the subject. The men were unanimous
in denying tliat any such movement
was contemplated lo their knowledge, and the
engineers, ull members of the Brotherhood,
'were especially emphatic in their statements
that tlie society had not directed a strike. The
chief oflicials of the n>ud are .satisfied that they
wiil have no further trouble v.ith their hands
at present, but ihey seem to share in the gen-
eral uppreliension that there may bo renewed
disturoanccs in the Fall.
Vice-President King was to-*lav questioned as
to the truth of the reports that f*resident Gar-
rett intends to resign his position. He author-
ized the most ]>ositivc^ contradiction of all such
.•statement**, stating tlmt Mr. Garrett has not
contemplated anv such action, nor has it been
iirgisi uiHtn hira by any of his Directors or
stockholders, as has bp»*n rumored. " They arc
Katistied." said Mr. King, "with hb* manage-
iijrut. and there will be no change of admiuls-
tniiiou."

THE WAfi IN THE COAL REGIONS.
ATrmtPT BY THE MOB TO GAIN POSSESSION
OF THE MATOB'S POSSE — ITS MEMBERS
GO TO "WILKESBARRE TO SURREKDEB
THEMSELVES TO THE AUTHORITIES.
ScRANToy, Penn., Aug. 9.^A diabolical
attempt was made last night at about 9 o'clock
to surrender six of the Mayor's late posse into
the hands of the mob upon a writ of coromit-
ment. Carriages were provided, and the
mob assembled at Taylorville, bat their plan
was thwarted bv the prompt action of the mili-
tary, which took possession of the posse. The
Eosse, escorted by two companies of 7?ilitla,
ave gone to "Wilkesbarro by special tra& this
morning to stirrender themselves on the charges
of murder found against them by Alderman
Mahah's jury, and give bail for their appearance
at the trial. They ' take with them bailsmen
representing several millions of dollars. The
constables' refuse to surrender their warrants,
and wish to take the committee before the Al-
derman in the Sixth Ward, which would cer-
tainly have caused a serious riot. The commits
tee have, therefore; gone before the Judge at
Wilkeabarre to avoid arrest here.
Gov. Hartranft arrived this afternoon br
special l^ain, accompanied by his .staff and a
body guard of Sliutia. He remains in his
palace car with an engine attached ready to
start at a moment's notice. The two companies
of Militia have returned from AVilkesbarrc, hav-
ing left the Vigilantes there under a nominal
Sheriff's arrest. They wUl return to Wilkes-
barro in the morning to take witnesses against
the Vigilantes. Alderman Mahon has been no-
tified to go to Wilkesbarre in the morning with
the witnesses. It is considered doubtful
whether he will go , or not, as the Alderman
claims that his commitment to the County Jail
is valid, and that no witnesses are required be-
fore the Judge at Wilkesbarre. The city is per-
fectly quiet.
WiLKKSBAKRE. Penn., Aug. 9. — The men in
the Ifehigh and Susiiuehauim Railroad car
shops at Ashley wont to work to-<iay. The
members of the Scrunton Vigilance Committee
who fired into the mob, were brought here to-
day under arrest for murder on warrants
issued by Alderman Mahon. They had a hear-
ing bcfop^ Judge Dana, and were admitted to
baiL ' '
Mauch Chttn'K, Penn., Aug. 0. — Frank Heck
and Barney Oarj' were arrested at Penobscot
to-day, charged with complicity in the riot at
Odenweldei*'s Station during tho .*;trike on the
Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad.
THE PORT JOHNSON STRIKE ENDED.
THE STRIKERS RETURN TO WORK AFTER
BEING PROMISED THEIR OLD RATES— REV.
FATHER KILLEEN' UT THE CHARACTER OP
MEDIATOR.
The committee appointed by the 400 striking
workmen of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Company,
at Port Johnson, to confer with the officials of the
company in this City, had an interview wiib^teceiver
Tillinghust at his office, No. 71 Broadway, yesterday
morning. Rev. Father KUleen, of St. Mary's Roman
Catholic Clinrch, Bei'ge.n Point, who throughout the
troubles has acted as the aini'nw curiae of both the
coatending parties, nccompaiiied the committee, and
gave them the benefit of his iuliueuce and cotm-
sel. Mayor Meigs and Councilman Lane, of Bayonne,
were also present. T'le members of the delegation,
Jlessrs. Patrick Kolait, l*eter Kelly. Bernard Lilly,
TiuVotby Clifford, and John Collins, were introdur-ed
to the Receiver, and Kolan. on behalf of the commit-
tee, explained the nature of the men's grievances.
AJthowizh their work is of the most ardnoiis descrip-
tion, they have been cut down from 15 to 10 cents
per hour. This was not enough to enable them to
Duy bread for their families, and they were therefore
compelled to respectfully i-equest that their old rate
of pay be restored. The •'top-men' — those who
wortced on the dock — received 15 cents per hour, and
the '"wliHelera" — ^those who worked below — thought
that, in justice to themselves, they should receive at
lenst as much as the "toi>-raen." They hadnowbeen
f'furd.'iyit on a strike, but so farfrom attemptinj; to in-
jure the property of theuompany. they had beenready
lo assemble at the first t»p of the church
wll to protect it. Tiiey were wiKinc to go to
work Hsain at once, but they coidd not do so at 10
cents* an hour, a rate which wiis wjuivalent to star\-a-
fioD. Mr. Tilliiit^hast, in reply, said that he was onlv
one of the officers of the road.bm for his part he was
willing to promise them as libeml ircatmeut a.-* tho
times would justify. The company hsd alwsys been
lil>eral to its employes. "O mtirh so that
while from $25.000.<KK5 lc. :::30.000.000 li.-id be.*u
iiivosied in tht- enterprise, it h.^rf only paid two dl%-l-
di-nds, one of 5 aud the other of 3 per cent. At the
present time they weiv ruuniiiK nier'-ly to keep their
men employed. If the latter were willing to work at
the jirT'cs offered. ^ which were rettUy higher
than those otJier ' comjuiuies were payiiiii.
they could do bo. but if not. thev must remain
idle. The, committee looked doubtful at this, and
lin-'illy Father Killeen had an interview with Mr. Til-
linchiist, in which /the latter plodj^od his word of
lionor in the presence of Mayor Mei^ and Council-
man Ijime. that If rho wheelers could not make 1.5
cents per hour, they should be paid at that rate for
30 days, if he had to make up tlie difference out of
lit" own pftcket. At the close of the month the m^m
and the company could come to some equitable agree-
ment reispecring the future. Tho delegation then re-
turned to Port Johnson, where the women of the
strikers bad been havinc several Istiphable encoun-
ters with the Oemums tromthis City nnd Elizabeth-
port, who had been employed by the co"mpany.
During the afternoon one ot the Germans started for
a spring a short distance from the docks to pet some
water. The women chased him. fore his bucket from
him and carried awav the handle, beside inflicting
upon him considerable personal damage. Another
German was chased, stoned, and rotten-egged, finally
receivii^ a serious wound on the back of tiie he&d.
(Jid cats and other mortuary tvHck were tiurled at
the (Tennans employed on the dock, nnd before the
close of the dav half of their number had retired
rather tlian endure the peltinir to which they were,
subjected.
At 7 o'clock in the evening the meetinc to consider
the terms oflfered by the company took place.at an
unoccupied hall on Evergrc-en-Klnet, ** Pat " Kolan,
the spokesman of the committee, pn^sided, and
"Father Tom," as he is affectionately termed
by his parishioners. sat beside him. The
proceedings were characterized by the utmost
Qe<-orum and good order. Nolan explaineii tlie
nature of the coraproml.se offered by tlie company,
and asked the workmen whether they were prepared
to accept Iti Barney Ktlly. Timothy Clifford, and
Michatd Deo gave tlit-ir opinions generally in favor
of accepting the terms as tho best thut-oould be got
under the circumstances. Finally, Father
Tom . took the tloor, and in an exceed-
Insiy diplomatic and woll-worded address, threw
the weight of his o^dnion In favor of
resuminir work. Thv m(*n recfived his advice with
three cheers, and by a tm.inintou.t votp resolved t-o re-
sume work to-*biy. ASt^r three cheers for Father
'J'oni. and three more for "the press." the meeting
adjourned. Tlie conduct of the strikers in reftising to
injure the property of the company, hasjron them
the sympathy of the entire community, although the
letigtha to which some of their women went are con-
sidered nnjnstiflable. J. H. Martin, the local agent
of the company, saya thnt he will punish the "man"
who knocked down the Oemian wT.tli a stone at all
c^ats. but, as Father Tom says, " the trouble is the
man was a woman, and hi>w are you going to
identify one woman out of ^00 I"
THE CASE OF COLLECTOR FREELAXD.
'Rie interest in Brooklyn over the prospective
removal of Collector Freeland does not abate. The
charges, and the probability of their being sustained
or not, are still generally discussed. Xo
lime, it Is understood, has been fij^ed for the
formal examination. lievenue Acent Brooks vis-
ited the Collector's oflBco on Wednesday and made
a partial examination of the records to obtain in-
formation relative to the allcjod retention and mis-
tise of money Teceived on abatement account.
The officials tmdcr Mr. Freelaud a<tKert that a
thorough examination will show that no wromr has
been committed, but that the business of the Gov-
ernment has been properly i-ondncted, and that
the reports are in a proper condition. The report
that Mr. Freehind is to be removed to make room for
Gen. Hayes gains ground, and it appears to be the
opinion of business men that Mr. Freeland should
make room for a man of more business capacity.
SERIOUS STAHJSiyO AFFRAY.
Joseph Guenther, a Deputy Sheriff and
special Police officer, on duty in Justice Guck's
court, Williamsburg, was arrested laat night for
stabbing one Peter Richard in the left breast, just
above the nipple, on Montrose-avenne, near the Ix>ng
Island Railroad Depot. Both had been to Bockaway,
and Guenther was much under the influence of liquor,
but they had not exchanged a word. Guenther had
qnarreled with his wife, and saying he woidd fix
somebody for it, drew a knife and stabbed
Richard as he was passing. Richard staggered
to Boshwick-avenue, and then fell, exhausted from
loss of blood. . He wasc&rried to the station-house,
where he was attended by Surgeons Preble, Hesse,
and Murphy, and was then taken home ii^^an ambu-
lance. Guenther was arrested shortly after, in com-
gany with Jack Whitford, an ofScer of the City
ourt, who had witnessed the stabbing. He denied
havinjf committed the crime, but waa loclced up.
The weapon was not found. -/

TlICTtSDAV, Aug. 9— P. JI.
The shjire speeulation was les.s active to-
day tLaa oa ye^^teniuy, and, as has been tlie
casa.fur some time past, was almost exclusively
connned to the professioual operators. Western

isfied a decline of li i> cent, ensued. Later the

mittees representing the Western Union

BrTTERr-The receipts of Butter to-day were large,
tho total nomber'of pks, received. being 9.487, of which
G,277 were from the West. State Butter of fine quality
is not in ver>' lareo supply, and prices are •firm. CXf tlie
medium am^ lower grades there Lh an ample
supply, and buyers are slightly favored. West-
em Butter is in excessive supply, a large
portion of it arriving in bad order, owing to delayn oa
the railroads and the heat. Such of it as is really ehoiofl,
or of prime quality, .lells fairly, but prices for everylhlmt

AWAITING A DECISION FEOM POLICE
. JUSTICE SBtlTH — TWO OP THE POLICE
COMMISSIOBTEBS IN FAVOR OP RECOGNIZ-
fNQ THE " RECEIPTS" — UNLICENSED
DEALERS GSVINO BAIL,
At the offices df the Excise Department jes-
-ierday there was a <very perceptible decrease In the
namber of applicant^ as compared with the crowds
whichbeslegedtheplao^dnringthepreeediiigflTeda^s.
The QDinber of applications made was 195, and the
total amount received therewith $8,648 50, making
a total of 2,895 dealers-who have paid their license.
f(»es. A few additional licenses were granted, the
majority of the applicants being still left for indefi-
nite perioda to rely for protection from arrest on the
now manifestly tiseless "receipts." The Bxcise
Commissioners exeose the delay In the consideration
of the applications on the groond that a
large number of them are for ale and
beer licenses, which cannot be passed upon
until such time as Police Justice Smith feels dis-
posed to render a decision in the case against the
. board relative to the granting of ale and beer 11-
.censes. It Is the opinion of the members of the
hoard that if the decision does not support the action
-of the board in granting lioenses of that c^ass. It will
be rendered by Jostire Smith under amisnnderstand-
ing of the statutes goveming*the Excise Department.
President Morton thus explains the authority of the
board to grant such licenses ; The law of 1857
authorized the granting of licenses 'for the sale of
Strong and Bpirituous liqnors^ to hotels. Inns, and
taverns, hut made no mentiomof beer or ale. Lager
•beer at that time was an nnlcnown beverage, and it
was not until 1-865 that its inebriatmg qualities were
, decisively tested and declared. On the year following
■'the discovery that lagor beer was intoxicating, the
HetropolitaiLA^xeise Board was clothed with power
to specially license the selling of ale and beer, the
authority, however, not extending outside of the
limits of the Metropolis until 18G9, when a law
amendatory to that of 1857 was^passed, authorizing
the sale-of ale and beer in all o^er portions of the
State. Neat came the act of 1870, which repealed the
net of 186t>. and gave the Excise Board powertogrant
license* to any person or persons of good moral charao-
t*;r. Although the act of 1870 repealed the Metro-
politan art, it expressly declared that the granting of
licenses f«»r ale and beer was lawful throughout the
entire Kt&te. and it is on this saving clause that the
present Bo ird of Excise rests its power to issue ale
and beer litenses.
Concerning the question of recognizing the receipts
as teraporar] ■ license certificates, Police Commission-
era Smith s.nd Nichols are indivldaallv in favor of
the proposititm. Definite action would have been
taken concerning the matter yesterday had a
quonvTU of tb*' Commissirtners been in attendance.
but it was necessarily deferred m consequence of the
absence ot Mesa ra. Erhardt and Wheeler, who are at
.present out of town. Concmissioner Nichols stated
vesterday that he and his colleague, Gen. Smith, had
jntimate^. in an ixnofBcial "way, to several Captains
that the receipts ought, as a matter of simple justice,
to be resiwcted by the membere of the force, and
that all arreets of delinquent dealers should "be
restricted' to court hours. Apparently very little
interest is manifested by the great body of dealers in
the measurtsof the so-called protective associations.
The fact is aisily explained. To use the language of
a prominent. dealer, they take jio stock in some of the
organi' ations . owing to the h^Uef entertained by
many that ttB''y have really accomplished nothing in
the "way of .bettering the condition of the trade.
Among men er. gaged in the liquor traffic in common
■with the representatives of oUier callings, there are
persons who nw^re or less incline to demagogism, who
delight in organizing " societies " with no defined ob-
jects in view, and who take special delight in passing
njeanineless resolutions on all occasions. Men of
this stamp compose thr governing power in at least
<ine or two of ihe existing puny organizations of
liqnor-dealers. ' They are at present railing upon
thoir brethren to " unite : "' but events in the history
of the liquor-dcaleE3' associations have shown that
they are the men wLo'would most likely cause a dis-
ruption.

THE TWENTY EIQHTB A.T CREEDMOOR.
The Twenty-eighth Regiment, Fifth Brigade,
Brookh-n, went to Creedmoor, under command of
Col. Obemier, for target practice yesterday. There
were 175 men present at roU-calL Owing to the
threatening aspect of the weather in tho early morn-
ing, it was nearly 10 o'clock before it was decided to
run the risk of getting caught in a rain storm. | The
troops went to the range by way of Queens, and
marched from that station to Creedmoor. Upon ar-
ri>-ing at the range a heavy rain commenced flailing,
which lasted an hour and a half, and ^delayed the
shooting for that len^h of time. When the practice
rommenced the conditions of weather were excellent.
The sky being overcast, a clear gray light existed,
which made the targets statid out clear and distinct,
and good scores were made at 100 and 150 yards.
The number who qualified at those distances, by
making; an aggregate score of -5 out of a possible
50 points at 5ie two ranges, to shoot at 300 and
400 vards. was 120. Capt. J. H. Story, ot Gen.
Jour''an'3 staff, superintended the shooting, as-
Bi«ed by First Lieut. I>ouis Bossert, of the regiment.
The aggregate scores at both ranges of 300 and 400
j-ards made by each competitor were as follows :
Cant. B<m»ert, 43 ; Serjrt. HummeL. 43 ; Private Kleas,
42 : Capt. Wills. 41 : Private Ca.>!enyk. 40 ; Capt. Heerdt,

I>urlng the practice Jacol Sevion, a marker, was
shot in uiree places by the splash of a shot which was
tired on the wrong target. He was attended by the
regimental surgeon. Dr. Groux, who dressed his
Vounds. ^^^^
THE OARBAOEHUMPUfO TROUBLE.
In relation to the embarrassment caused by
the recent decision of Judge Donohue discontinuing
the injunction obtained by the Police Board to pre-
vent the Brooklyn Police authorities and the Shore
Inspector from interfering with the dumping of
garbage at sea, Police Commissioner Nichols says
that he is unable to determine at present how gar-
baae will be dUposed of in Ihe^tnre. Offers to
allow the dumping of garbage had been made by
nrivate parties on both the East and >orth Rivers, and
iome of these, in aU probabilitv. would be accepted.
The difficulty lay solely \vith the disposition of garb-
age, as the Btreet-sweepings could easUy he got rid
Jo? The dtanpingof garbage on Barren Island he
thought impraeticable. owing to the llabihty of the
scowlbelng swamped by the rough sea. In conclusion,

POOE OLD JUBE'S COMPLAINT — HIS EXPERI-
^ ENCEOP A GALVANIC BATTEaY IN THE
BOWERT.
An amusing case, humorons in tta detalhs,
came up for examination yesterday, at [the Tombs
Police Court, before Justice Smith. An aged«id
feeble man who rejoices In the name of Edwin Jnbe,
and whose place of residence Is at No. 75 ElUabeth-
Btreet, appeared before the magistrate and told in
quaint and suppliant tones how he] had been
cruelly and mercilessly imposed ji upon. It
waa thus : Mr. Jube stated to Ihe Justice
that he was loitering about, Mlpawber-like,
waiting for something to turn up, when he was
accosted by a young man named Frank \Smlth, who
asked him if he wouldn't like a job. Jube replied in
the affirmative, and upon Inqiring what the job was.
Smith told him that he would give him ^ to carry a
box over to the North River. The destination of the
box was certainly somewhat Indefinite, put anyhow
Jube jumped at the offer, thinking that he had a
big bonanza. Whether it was Smith's Intention to
have Jube dump the box or the box and him-
self into the river, the latter | did not
clearly explain. Smith, being naturally a good-
hearted fellow, a8k(*l Jube if he *' Wouldn't have a
beer?'' The latter genUeman consented, and they Im-
mediately adjourned, to a " garden " in the Bowery.
The following is the sequel ; In the saloon afOxed to
the wall opposite to the b{ir is a " health lift,"
which is merely a powerful galvanic b^ittery, con-
nected by a wire to a shelf beyond the bar. It
looks more like a steam-gauge than anything else.
After Jube had drunk his benefactor's health In a
S'Cent schooner of lager. Smith asked) him if he
wouldn't be so kind as to take that " clc^k " off the
wall, as it was very loosely screwed on. I Jube, with-
out waiting to see if the clock was an eight-day one
or not, immediately caught hold of the Instrument.
The clerk behind the bar touched a little knob, and
gave poor old Jube a galvanic shock, for Tvhfch the
old nmn was not prepared. His legs da;igled in all
directions, his eye-balls glared, his sockets rolled, his
hands clinched — the bar, unfortunately.
When asked by the Justice how he fejlt while in
this position, he blandly replied: "I was amazed ;
my hair stood on- end; my voice elunz — I was go-
ing to say. Judge, that my voice clung to my jaws,
but it didn't."' The proprietor of the saloon
coincides with Mr. Jube in this particnlar, saving
that his voire was bounded on the north ."^de by ftar-
lem Bridge, on the south by the Battery Park, on
the east Sy the East River, on the west ha* the North
River. . The saloon keeper, in giving the reporters
an idea of how Mr. Julie *■ hullooed," saifl that whon
the gentleman had nearly exhan-tted bis: lungs, a by
stander casually rem.nrked to Mr. Jnbe that there
was a friend of his sick in Jersey, and as ced him to
make less noise.
The Justice, after taking all the facts nto consid-
eration, concluded that thert> was not sufhcient evi
denre before the court to issue a warrailt of arrest
for Mr. Smith, and the old man departed, not at all
pleased with his misjiion.

TBE FIFTH DISTEICT.
OSAVE CHARGES PBEFEBHED AGAINST THX
PRESIDENT OP THE- A8S0CIATIOK — A COM-
MITTEE APPOmTBD TO INVJariGATE
THEM.
The regular monthly meeting of the Fifth
Assembly District Association was to hava been held
last evening in the hall of the association, No. 130
Frince-atreet, and as it was known that a series of
charges were to he presented by ex- Alderman John
H. Brady against ex-Assemblyman Austin Leake, the
I^aident of the association, who was ont of
town at his hotel at Rockaway, an exciting
session was anticipated. Edward Hallock, the Secre-
tary of the association, who is a friend of Leake, had
' secured the room by paying the clerk of the landlord,
and subsequently Mr. Brady re-hired it from the
landlord himself, who was not awar^ of what his
clerk bad done. Hallock got to the hall early in the
evening, and sat In the lager beer saloon in
the basement underneath the meeting-room, the
key of which he had In bis possession.
Mr. Brady came shortly afterward, and was told by
Hallock, who was quite demonstrative, th&t he could
not have the room, and that there should be no meet-
ing, and the landlord. Mr. Kliebe, who saw that
there was likely to be a disturbance, said that be
would not allow any meeting to be held, and offered
to rei>ay Mr. Brady the money he had paid
to secure the room, which he refused
to take, saving he had regtUarly hired
it for the association, and he demanded
possession. Mr. Brady went away, and shortly re-
turned with Mr. Daniel Mooney. the Vice-President
of the as.so<dation, and again demanded tho room, but
was refused admission by both Hallock and the land-
lord. In the meantime, several members of the asso-
ciatlonthad entered the saloon, all of whom appeared
to be friends of Brady, and they were de-
nonneing the conduct of Hallock. who
seemed to be alone in bis opposition
and had retired to the back part of the saloon, when
Brady returned. Brady again demanded entrance to
the room, which was again refused, when Vice-Presi-
dent Mooney said that it was the regular meeting
night, and the hour for the meeting hf^ arrived, A
tormal motion was thon made that an adjournment
he taken to another hall, at No. 217 Spring-street,
which was carried, and the members left, leaving
Hallock in possession.
On reaching the hall in Spring-street it -was soon
filled, and shortly after tho Vice-President called the
meeting to order there were almut 120 members in
the room. Tho C^lain!^un made a brief statement
al>out what had occurred, ami Martin Van Bnren
Ochiltn'o waa cliosen Secretary pro tem. Several
prop{i»iitions for membership were referred to
the Exocutive Committee, and the resignation
of John Forsi.ay. the Treasurer of the
n.*;Rociation, who is a clerk in tho Auditor's ofiSce in
the Custom-house, was RTOptfd, he giving the order
of President Hayes a-t the reason for tendering his
resignation. The re^jignations of Lewis Valentine,
Jacob H. Porshay. and A. H. Kcerh. members of the
association. wlu> cavo no reiu^on for rt-slgning, were
also accepted,
Mr. Brady now stepped forward, and read the fob
lowing chaises, signed by til members, against Mr.
Leake: f

As Mr. Brady n*ad the charges, he Int-erpol.ited
several remarks. He said that 5Ir. Lowery waa a
son of Police Captain Lowerj-. It would he better for
the members of the association to tte Democrats, or
to reside out of the district if they desired patronage
under President Leake. When Alderman I>c Vries
got fatj nomination, be was asked tu go and see
Leake, who said, ' " I a-sst-ss you $800."
and De \'rle8 replied, ' " There It Is. and
put it down. [I.duchter.) Then he wanted I>e
Vrles' check for $2.50. and got it, C)f the money re-
ceived by Lv«ke, he failed to account for $1.!1T*JI. He
had no right to handle anv *5f the money he received :
that was exclusively the Treasurer's busiuess. Lo.ike
received nearly $.'iO(M) him.st'lf xmder pn^tense of
running the district, when about $l.O0O would hav*>
covered all the legitimate exptMisox. I^enki.- fancK-d
he cuold run tho dlstrtnt in Democraiir .style, and
that the memtiem of the assot»i«tion would ne serfs,
but he was mistaken. Hallock got .'^LOO a month in
the Street-cleaning Hureau, and for that waa willing
to be Leaki>'N fugleman and do his dirty work, an<l
Leake liad run off to Rockaway and lutt him to do it.

SEVERAL FEDERAL OFFICE-HOLDERS TENDER
THEIR RESIGNATIONS AS OFFICERS OF
THE ASSOCIATION — AN IMPORTANT
AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
PASSED — A PRIMARY ELECTION TO BE
HELD THIS EVENING.
The Fourteenth'Assembly District Republican
Association held a special meeting last evening at its
head-quarters, Xo. 9B Third-aveotie, to receive the
resignations of those of its officers who hold Federal
positions. Mr, John R. Brady, the President, occu-
pied the chair. The following named gentlemen, de-
sirous of acting in conformity with the recent order
of President Hayes, handed in thoir resignations :
Mathew Hicks, night wat'Chman In the C:^Rtom-hou(ie,
as Vice-President : Pranris Pago. Day Innpector, as
Second Vice-President ; George Osborne. Deputy Col-
lector, Internal Revenue office, as Secretary ; John
Robert Nugent, sampler In the AppralKer^H nfflee, as
member of the Central Committee ; Robert B, Boyd,
Deputy Collet-tor In the Second Internal Revenue Uia-
trict, as member of the Central Committee ; Wil-
liam Hickard, opener and packer in the Appraiser's De-
partment, Custom-house, as Sergeant-at-Arms ; Thomas
W. Robertson, clerk in the Eighth Division of the Cus-
tom-house, as Inspector ot Election ; P. Snydor. clerk in
the Appraiser's Department, Custom-house, as member
of the Central Committee; James £. Martin and P. H.
Owen, letter-carriers. Post Office, as members of the
Ejtecntlve Committee, and F. C. McCready, clerk In the
Post Office, as memi>er of the Executive Committee.
Tho re-^igTiations were, on motion of Gen. Pinck-
ney, accepted. Mr. Brady, the President of the as-
sociation, and Mr. Ira Merritt, the Treasurer, are
not oCQce-hoIders. The former is a merchant doing
business on Thtrd-avenue and the latter is a real es-
tate broker. Gen. Pinckney, on behalf of the Cen-
tral Committee, reported that the committee com-
posed of one member &om each of the district asso-
ciations, appointed for the purpose of de-
vising a plan to p^^^^te harmonious feel-
ing among the Republicans of the City, had
neld a meeting on Tuesday, with Col. Bliss as
Chairman. The chief subject under consideration
waa the advisability of amending a certain article in
the Constitution of the district associations, to the
tenor of which some Republicans, including members
of the Union League Chib, object, as interfering with
independent action on their part in regard' to nomi-
nations. After due deliberation the commiftee tman-
imously concluded that it was expedient to meet the
objections in a manner which would result in an ami-
cable understanding, now more necessary than ever
since the promulgation of the recent order of the
Preisident, by which the district associations are
deprived of tne active co-operation lof many hard-
working Republicans. Viewing the question, there-
fore, in this light, the committee resolved to suggest
the adoption of the following amendment :
" Amend Article IX, of the Constitution of the District
Association, by striking oat the words ' and that he In-
tends Co tmpport the Republican Party organization, of
wbi^b the association & a recogutKe<l portion, and to
submit to the leg-olly exprt-ssed action of the associatlna
and! of the Central Committee, and to honorably Austn^
all nominations made by the Rcpn^ilirau Party tnrongh
its legally constituted conventions, called or rocomiied
by the Central Committee ; and that he Is not, and will
not, l>ecame n member of any committee or body which
does not recogtiize the authorltj- of the association.'^
The mover of the amendment explained that the
artif^e as amended cannot be interpreted as permit-
ting the admission of others than Republicans to the
oaaocUtion. The aasodAtioa tmaaimouriy adopted
the unendsient. Its «doptIoD by four other district
associations wHl carry it to the Central Committee
forlts consideration. Aa.ApTvUmlxlary to a primary
election to be held this eTenfauc at the rooms of the
association, with the view of fimng the vaeancies in
the Board of OiBcers. a committee of three was ap-
pointed to zhake nominations. When the election is
decided the members of the associAtion will mareb in
a body to the Pifth-Aventie Hotel to assist at the
serenade to be tendered to Senator Conkllng on his
xettiru from Europe.

HARMONIOUS MEETING OF THE ASSOCUTION
— PRESIDENT LEASE RESIGNS — ^ALL CAUSE
OP DIFFERENCE REMOVED.
The regular monthly meeting of the Fif-
teenth Assembly District Republican Association,
held last evening at the head-quarters, No. 352 West
Thirty-fifth-street, was quite harmonious. There was
a full attendance of members, a large portion of
those dissatisfied with the result of the primary elec-
tion on the night of July 31 being present. Mr. A.
V, Canfield, who was elected First Vice-President on
that occasion, presided. Before the regtilar business
of the meeting was entered upon, Mr. William
M. Montgomery asked the Chairman if be
was aware that a protest had been
made in regard to the conduct of the primary election.
The ChMrman having replied in the affirmative, the
minntes of the last regtilar meeting and those of the
special meetitig at which the primary was ordered,
. were then read and afOrmed. The Secretary,
Mr. Berrian Keyser, tnen read the
resimation of Mr, Henry G. Leask from the Presi-
dentfy of the aRsociation, in accordance with Presi-
dent Hayes' civil sertice order, Mr. Leask holding
the office of Examiner In the Appraiser's Department
of the Custom-house. The resignation, dated Aug. 1,
was accepted, the auti-Lcask party applauding. Five
Republicans, who have recently come into the dis-
trict and were desirous of becnming members of its
association, prewnted certificates of member-
ship in other associations and were odmit-
4ed. A candidate for membership, who has
been for some time actively opposed to
Mr. Leask, said that his name had b6en before the
Committee on Admissions of the association
for four months, and that no action had
been taken upon it ; be therefore proposed
himself for membeiBhip at this meeting, and called
upon tho association to act immediately. In accord-
anco with a provision of the ^institution governing
district associations, he was elected by a majority
vote. The meeting then adjourned.
Mr. Canfield, the Vice-President regularly elected
at the primary election, and Mr. William' 5l. Mont-
gomen.-, who has been prominent in the antl-Leask
movement^ after the adjournment said that they
now believed that the principal cause of difference
in the district had been removed, and that
If a candidate for the Presidencj' of the association
acceptable to the majority of both parties could be
agreed upon, no protest would be presented to the
Central Committee against *the regularity of tlie
primary election.

Mr, William ^laddox. a Custom-house em-
ploye, and Mr. James Lockwood, a Brooklyn letter-
carrier, offered their resignatioiLs at the meeting of
the Fourteenth Ward Republican Association of
Brooklj-n last night. The President of the associa-
tion, Mr. John H. Jeffers, said he did not believe
that Federal officials should be allowed to run
party conventions and caucuses, but thought it an
outrage that President Hayes nr any man should
inak*> RepublinarvH sever their ronnectitm with ward
orgjuiixations. which in Brooklyn were, in general, of
a so<'ial nature. Mr. Maddox withdrew after re-
r ft ing the necessity of his &n doing. Mr.
W. potter moved to tay Mr. Maddnx'n resiffnation
on thf tahle, and in a speech of some lencth declared
that l*rcsident Hayes could order officeholders to re-
sign. b;it could not dl'^tate to wara organizations
whether they should accept 8U<*b resignations
or not. Mr. J. Warrack thonght it would get
Mr. Maddox Into tnmble if his resignation
were not accepted; and declared that he had no feel-
ing Bgainst Maddo.T, wiierPui»on Mr. .T. Simpson
said, '• Yes. you have, and I'll put ynu down .'itairs."
A vote of thanks for «en*ices rendered by Mr. Mad-
dox since the fonnjding of the Republican Party was
passed, and. the iesignations wer^£nfllly laid upon

mittee on Laropa, was authorized to purchase for the
city 36 boiilevard lamps, and in the purchase of the
same endeavored to obtain as a consideration for

gations above raited. Counsel for Riley also read
the statement made by his clienf before tho commit-
tee denying the fcharges made against him. At the
concltifiion :of jthe reading of' the evidence on
Iwth sides, Cpk Ellis summed up the caso
for Riley, consuming about an hour in
his argument,; \ during the course of which
he maintained that the allegations had not been
proved, and that: Kennedy, the principal witness
against his clitmtj was not worthy of belief, inasmuch
as it was palpable' that ho was actuated by malicious
motives. City ; Attorney Prime followed with a
speech of an hour's duration, in whichl he claimed
that the eyideiitje fully substantiated tne charges
against Riley, j |
The Board of Aldermen went into secret session at

Chamber, and the specifications were read by City
Clerk Doty. They then proceeded to vote. On two
of the specifications they voted guilty, and on three
others not guilty. On another there was a tie vote
and it was thrown out. Up to a late hour they had
not concluded voting on all tho charges, and conse-
quently had not!, arrived at a final decision in the
matter.

NEW-JERSEY.
Andrew B. Crevey was arrested in Newark yes-
terday for a series of petty frauds. His victims num-
bered about 20, and the highest amount he obtained
wa^ $29. the lowest $5.
Tho last companies of the Xational Guard of
New-Jersey that were on duty during the railroad
troubles returned from Phillipsburg to Trenton yes-
terday. They were Companies A, B. and D, Seventh
Infantry.
The last of the troops stationed at Phillips-
burg to prevent riot, &c.. returned to Trenton yes-
terday and were discharged. The riotous disposition
has Rubsidea and everytliing has been restored to
regularity and order on the Kew-Jersey railroads.
It is now stated that the $26,000 drawn from
the funds of the Merchants' Loan and Trust Com-
pany was not money, but a note for that amount.
which had been offered for discount but not acted
upon, and which in some way had got mixed up with
the company's as.*tetB without the maker of the note
ever having received acent for it. Under the laws
of the State it would have had no value even if it
had not been withdrawn.
The question in dispute between the Board of
Education and the Board of Aldermen, of Paterson.
as to whether or not the average enrollment of the
evening school pupils could be correctly and legally
combined with the average enrollment of day pupils,
on which to base the estimates for making yearly ap-
propriations for current accounts, will be eubradtted
t-o .fudge Dixon, of the Xew-Jersey Supreme Court,
to decide, the Aldermen, as the case now stands, re-
fusing to allow drafts to be made on the City Treasury
on the current account for evening schools-
'' BUSINESS GOOD."
HOW A PRENCHMAX. VTXS SWINDLED.
Detective George H. Dilks brought to Police
Head-quarters last night a swindler who has been
recently operating on the " European plan." Mr.
Jules Delamalle, a Frenchman, recently came to this
City for the purpose of putting on the market a new
invention. A few days after Delamalle's arrival he
was waited on by Theophile Eupbrate. an
Alsatian, of Xo. 4S West Sixteenth-street.
The Alsatian introduced himself to the French-
man by a letter purporting to have been
written by s Mr. Fasch._ recommending the bearer as
a responsible man. -Eupbrate then told Delamalle
that he was about to go to Boston, where, he said, he
was well and favorably known in business circles :
and said he thought he could introduce Belamalle's
invention there successfully : and he thus procured a
sample for that purpose. A few days afterward Del-
amalle received a telegram froni Euphrate, dated
Boston, saying "Business good. Send box."
The box was thereupon sent. A couple of days after-
ward a second telegram was received from Boston
signed by Euphrate, saying: "Selling as fast as I
can fill orders ; am entirely out ; send another box."
Delainalle sent a second box. A few days after that
Eupbrate sent Delamalle a third telegram, sajing ;
'•Am compelled to hurry to Paris : address me
at Havre.' 'Hiis telegraph business, the French-
man eavs, "was all cash out. but no cash in:
80 I call zen on ze Police for some assistance."
The case was given to Detective Dilks. and he
puf^ceedid in tracking the swindler, and finding
him on the street in Sixth-avenue, arrested him.
Tiie prisoner was locked up on the charge of false
pretenMjs. The Police believe they can identify the
Alsatian as the author of several other singular
tricks by which many residents of the City have
been recently vlctinij^e'd. They propose to request
that the prisoner be remanded until eridcuce can be
supplied :;gainst hin^

THE DENMARK TO DE SEIZED.
The steam-ship Denmark, of the National
Line, is to be seized by the Customhouse officials on
her arrival. Collector Arthur has issued the order
to this effect, through Deputy Collector Phelps, to
the Surveyor of the Port, and it will be carried out
as soon as the steamer arrives. The investigations of
Capt. Brackett have shown that the National Line,
for years past, has been ased by a gang of silk
and lace smugglers, and that several of the
peitj- officers of the different ships have been engaged
m the illegal tr.affic The chief offenders are .^jnes
Na«le, Purser, and James Welsh, Storekeeper, of the
Denmark, who are stated to have smuggled over
$200,000 worth of goods during the past two years.
The vessel, on her arrival, will probablv bo placed
under bonds of $100,000, while suits areinstUuted
against her in the courts. The report that the au-
thorities at Washington had countermanded the order
for her seizure created considerable surprise at the
Custom-honse, where nothinic ofBcial has been re-
ceived to that effect. The weight of opinion seems
to be that the Washingtoii authorities could not in
any event cotmtermand the order of seizure, although
they might release the vessel afterward.
NEW-JERSEY RAILROAD TAX.
The trial of the*^ appeals of certain railroad
corporations from the valuations of the State Rail-
road Tax Commissioners was continued in the Su-
preme Court at Newark yesterday. A number of
witnesses were examined as to the justice of the tax-
able valuation placed on the Central Railroad of New-
Jersey and branch lines. Judge Depue at the con-
clusion gave his opinion that the valuation of the
Commissioners was excessive, and fi^sed tho valuation
of the Central main line at $17,320,170 25. a re-
duction of about $8.000.WH). This inclndes the
Newark and New-Vork and Elizabeth branches. The
other valuations are as foU'jwB : New- York and Long
Branch. -'51.286. 414 84, a reduction of almut $550,-

cases of the Mont Clair, New-Jeisey Southern, and
other roads will be taken up to-day.

Bptdal Ditpauh to Oe Nan-Tort Ztacn
"Washc-gton, Ang. 10.— Last June See-
tetary Schurz appointed a commission to in-
vestigate certain charges against Mr. Galpin,
Chief Clerk of the Indian Bureau, as well as tie
general management of the office named. This
com mission still holds dally sessions, and has
already taken several thousand pages of testi-
mony. Its meetings are secret, but it can
be stated upon trustworthy authority that the
greater part of the eridence thus far heard is
simply unimportant departmental scandal re-
tailed by discharged employes who were re-
moved for irregularities. That this should be
the case is not singular, for it will be remem-
bered that the commission cannot compel the
attendance of witnesses or the production of
papers, and consequently its labors are prac-
tically confined to the department. Because of
the star-chamber secrecy with which its sessions
are conducted the commission has fallen
into disrepiite here, and ' although Xr.
SctuTZ has given assurances that all the^ ac-
cused parties shnll have ample opportunity
■ of being heard, it is still urged that the testi-
mony taken should be made public, as it un-
doubtedly gives a clue at least to the plans and
practices by which persons in the office and out
of it committed frauds and Sl^indled the Gov-
ernment systematically and without fear of de-
tection. As the investigation is now being
conducted, however, it is feared that only
minor offenders will be convicted. The
limited powers possessed by the member.s of tbo
commission will prevent them from detecting
the very extensive swindles that have imdoubt-
edly taken {ilace in the Indian "Bureau. Thus
far tho only practical result of the investiga-
tion has been the dismissal of Mr. S. S. Hay-
den, a second class clerk who had been in the
o^ce 20 years, and who is now believed to have
spent most of that time in acting as a paid spy
for Intlian contractors and others who were
interested in the inside workings of the
department. It is said that Commissioner
Smith has assurances that no evidence has been
elicited which retiects upon him personallv or
uix>n his general management of his office. The
ca.^ of Mr. Galpin ha.s to some extent been lost
sight of in the press of other matter?, but it is
now thought that his exoneration is doubtful.
He and a number of minor clerks will probably
be removed.

ICTION OP THE CABINET ON THE PKOPOSI-

r.t-LL TO INDUCE HIM TO LEAVE CANADA
— COMPOSITION OP THE COMSUSSIOS.
Spfcial Iii3paUh to the Sew-Y'vk Times.
Washington, Ang. 10.— At the Cabinet
neeiing to-*lay considerable time was occu-
pied in the consideration of the propo.sition
aiade by Secretary Jlill.^, of the Canadian Gov-
ernment., to send a commission to treat with
Sitting Bull, and try to induce him to come into
an agency. Tho proposition was received favor-
ably by all the Cabinet, but there was a dispo-
sition to allow no leniency in the treatment
of the savage, and to instruct the commission to
accept a surrender on no terms except absolute
submission to the authority of the Government,
«nd the giving up of all arms, ammunition, and
ponies owned by the tribe. The commission
will consist of an officer of the Army
and an attach^ of the Indian Bureau,
and the Canadian Government will be
invited to select a third person to
accompany the Representatives of the United
States. They will leave at once for Northern
Dakota, and will be escorted from the frontier
by a suiSicicnt military force to insure their
protection. It is the intention of Secretary
McCrary to appoint an officer of high rank in
the Anny, distingui.shed for Indian fighting,
and Gen. Miles and Gen. Crook are men-
tioned. The President and Secretary of
War would he glad to have ' Gen.
Sherman act as one of the commisssion, partic-
ularly as he is now in the region to be visited,
and he will probably be telegraphed to see if he

A COOL PROPOSITION.
i BILL FOR TRANSPORTING TROOPS TO PRO-
TECT ITS LINE PRESENTED TO THE GOV7
EBNMENT BY THE BALTIMORE AilD OHIO
RAILROAD COMPANY.
SpKiai Di^iatch to tM Xew-Tork X%mea.
"Washington, Aug. 10.— Much to the sur-
prise of the "War Department officials, the Bal-
timore and Ohio Railroad Company has pre-
sented a claim for payment for transporting
United States troops from Washington to dif-
ferent points along its line to pro-
tect the road from the strikers. This
jeems a little like Impertinence. Without
the aid of the troops the railroad
company would have been completely at the
mercy of the strikers, for the Militia were of no
service whatever, and in some cases expressed
their sympathy for the rioters in an tinmis-
iakable manner. If the military had been sent
Dver the road to protect private or public prop-
Jity, the case would have been different ; but
ao property required protection except
that belonging to the railroad coin-
pany. During the war of the rebellion
many precedents were established under
which this ' claim could be paid, but it
ts stated at the War Department that there was
tn understanding when the troops were sent
that the railroad companies should famish
uransportation. If this is the case the matter
will probably go to the courts for settlement.
No railroad but the Baltimore and Ohio has yet
presented its bill, and at the Cabinet meeting' to-
day, when this matter was brought up, it was de-
cided that no action should be taken until all
the other railroads should be heard from, when
It will be submitted to the Attorney-General for
an opinion.

A few days ago, friends of Senator Conk-
ling in Washington, gave for oublication a
statement that the Senator's sudden return from
Europe was not for political reasons, but be-
cause a patent suit in which he is interested as
attorney required his immediate attention.
The client In this patent suit to-day denies that
he sent for Mr. Conkling; hence the original

Col. Cameron, of Petersburg, addressed the
convention, withdrawing the name of Gen.
Mahone. and urging the friends of that gentle-
man to give their support to Hon. F. W. >L
Holliday. This was received with tremendous
and prolonged cheering ; nearly the whole con-
vention were on their feet at once, waving hats
aiid screaming and yelUng. Several minutes
elapsed before order was restored, when Col.
Stringfellow, of Petersburg, also urged the sup-
port of Holliday in eloduent terms. Col. Penn,
of Patrick, a leading Daniel man, said
that despite all combinations he believed
that John W. Daniel was the strongest
man in Virginia for Governor, and
that his banner .should float to the last.
John A. Wi.se, of Richmond, a leading Ma-
honeite, disclaimed making a combination, and
said: "If we have chosen an armless hero
from the Valley of Virginia, it is because his a-s-
sociations have never made him disreputable."'
R. A. Coghiil. of Amherst, made a powerful
speech in favor of Mr. Daniel, calling upon his
friends and the convention generaUy to rally
around the Daniel standard to the last. The
utmost noise and confusion prevailed during
these bnef addresses, and the Chair found it
almost impossible for ^ine time to bring the
convention to order. A motion to adjourn was
put and.lost, and. order being partly restored, a
call of counties for the seventh ballot was pro-
ceeded with. As the vote went on, cheer upon
cheer greeted the various changes of votes, as
they favored either of Ithe two candidates. At
its conclu.sion tho excjitement and anxiety to
learn the result was at fever he.at, aud continued
until it was announced as follows :

for the office of Governor. A recess was then
taken till 8 o'clock.
At the evening session Gen. James A. Walk-

PRESIDENT HATES NOT DISTURBED BT THE
ATTITUDE OP THE AUGUSTA CONVEN-
TION— MR. BLAINE'S COURSE NOT UN-
EXPECTED.
Spreial Ditpateh to the Neic-Tork Time*.
"Washington, Aug. 10. — The President
does not seem to 'be disturbed by the attitude of
the Maine Republicans. A prominent politician
called on him to-dav, and In tho somewhat
desultory conversation which ensued mention
was made of the proceedings of the convention.
The President said that he was not in the least
disturbed by the action of that l>ody, though
he would, of course, have felt greatly
pleased if the resolution presented indorsing
him and his policy had been adopted. As it
was, the introductioa-of the resolution and the
speeches made in favor of it showed what he
already felt certain of — that he was not without
strong support among the Republicans in the
Pine-tree State. The gentleman says that from
the conversation he is of the opinion that the
President is confident that it will not be long
before oven Maine will be ready to indorse him.
Referring to Senator Blaine's speech, he said
he was not at all surprised by that gen-
tleman's utterances, as ho had taken
exactly the same grounds that might have been
expected from the sentiments expressed in his
Woodstock speech. The President also said that
the proceedings of conventions like that held
yesterday evidenced more the individual in-
fluence of the prominent members of it than
the general feeling of the whole body. There
was a little gossip at the Cabinet meeting about
the matter, but for some reason the members
were not so much concerned as they were over
the late Iowa convention.

nouncing President Hayes for his Southern
policy, and declaring that the second resolution
in the platform adopted by the Bepublicnn State
Convention at Cleveland Is Inconsistent with its
professed declaration of fidelity to the principles
of the Republican Party ; that it is a nlsehood,

be no objection to speeches on Government
business. What I moan is that no member of
the Cabinet will take an active part in purely
political discussion." It thus appears that the
ci-^-il service order is to extend to all branches of
the public service, and that no discrimination is
to be made even in favor of those highest In
authority.
TBE KEMPER CO UNIT WHITE LEAGUE
COTVARDLY PERSECUTION OF TBE WIDOW OP
THEIR VICTIM — REFUSAL OF THE PRO-
BATE JUDGE TO SETTLE JUDGE CHIS-
OLM'S ESTATE.
Special DiapaIcK to the New- York Timet.
Washington, Aug. 10. — A letter was re-
ceived here to-day from Jlrs. Chisolm, the wido"w
of Judge Chisolm who was so foully murdered
by the White League of Mississippi. In it she
tells with touching simplicity of her recent
treatment by the Democratic outlaws who sur-
round her, and states that the Probate Court of
Kemper County has refused to .settle up her bus-,
band's estate. She is consequently prevented,
for the present at least, from leaving the scene
of the butchery of her family. The court does
not attempt to justify its unusual action, but
simply refuses to grant Mrs. Chisolm's request
for a settlement.
MR. SCHUR7PS CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.
STATEMENT OP EX-GOV. M'CORMICK AS TO
the campaign OP 1876.
Washington, Aug. 10. — The Daily Na-
tion of to-morrow will contain the following
statement: "A reporter of the Daily Nation
called upon Gov. McGormiek at the Treasurj-
Department yesterday to inquire in reference to
the relations of Mr. Schurz to the Natiohal Re-
publican Committee in the late Presidential
campaign. It is well known that Mr.
Schurz's appointments at the East were made
by Mr. McCormick, and that in his capacity at
that time of Secretary of the committee no one
could have had a better knowledge of the terms
iipon which 3lr. Schurz gave his .services to
the party. Mr. McCormick said that he had
no knowledge of the course of Mr.
Schurz in previous campaigns, but that in
the campaign of 1876 that gentleman neither
aslied nor received from the National Republi-
can Committee one dolhy for his services. On
several occasions when at the rooms of the com-
mittee in New-York, Mr. McCormick .spoke to
him about the matter of his personal expenses
for traveling, hotel bills, &c., and said the com-
mittee would promptly pay them. Mr. Sch urz
amswered that he preferred to bear his own ex-
penses, aud he did bear them throughout the
campaign so far as Mr. McCormick is informed.''

THE PHILADELPHIA DEMAGOGUES.
SHARP LESSON OF A CORONER'S JURY DIS-
REGARDED^SO-CALLED WORKING MEN
TRTINO TO ORO.\NIZE A WORKING MEN'S
PARTY — THE SCHEME CONCOCTED IN THE
INTEREST OP THE DEMOCRATS.
From Our Otm (XrreMporutent.
Philadelphia. Friday. Au^. 10, 1877.
The Coroner's jury in the case of William
McBride returned a venlict to-day which is so
directly the opposite in principle to that of the
jury in Scranton that it is worthy of note, and
will, no doubt, serve as a warning to people who
follow crowds of rioters in this city. The ver-
dict was as follows :
" That said William McBrlde came to bis de.ith
July 2G, 1H77. at Howard .and Berks streets, from
violence, a gun-shot wound in the brain, at the hands
of ^onie person unkuowu to the jury. Vour jur>'
farther find from the testimony that deceased was
present as one of an assembloee which hnd l>een pro-
hibited by the Mayor of the city at a time when the
congregation of large bodies of men was deemed cal.
ciliated to disturb public peace and create riot, dis-
order, and destruction of public audprivate pn»pcrty.
Although the pcreon who inflicted the wound which
caused the death of William McBride is unknown to
this jury, it 18 proper to add that while the deceased
was present in common with many others in dis-
obedience, the responsibility rests entirely witli
those as-sembled. Tne Police oflicere appeared as con-
servators of peace, and ac e<l under the orders of his
H«mor William S. Stoldey. the Mayor, who, by his
prompt and determined action in suppressing all
outbreaks at this x>oint as well ns others during the
troubles, deserves the hearty commendation aud
thanks of all peace and onier loving citizens, as lie
has saved Philadelphia from the shame aud dis;;ruco
of arson, robbery, riot, and murder. "
But even with this warning before them, a
number of demagogues are at work hero or-
ganizing the National Working Men's Party,
and endeavoring to foment trouble. A close
examination of the records of the men who are
engaged in this work shows that they -are Dem-
ocrats and renegade Republicau.s, and it^is be-
lieved, therefore, that their labors now are in
the interest of the DemwTatlc Party in this
State. Not satisfied with the resnlt of the late
strike, theW-men have called a mass cimvention
to meet here to-morrow. The proceedings anil
the place of meeting have been kept secret.. It
is designed that all branches of the working
men shall be represented, and it is possible
another strike may be^planned here.
A FEDERAL MARSHAL SBOT.
Galveston, Texas, Aug. 1 0. — The JYierrs

" United States Marshal Parnell was shot twice

The accounts of the affrav are conflicting. It is
known that the two gentlemen 'belong to oppos-
ing factions in the Republican Party, and have
had differences as to the distribution of the
Federal patronage in this State.

SOL FING THE LABOR PROBLEM.
Speclai DiqxXck to tv yae-Tork lUm.
Chicago, Ang. 10. — A number of lead-
ing business men here are pntting to a practical
test the new scheme for solving tiie labor trou-
bles. Tliey propoae to oontdbnte sooh foms as
they can ailord, and with It hire laboring men
to work on the public tlioitnicbfares. Snoosh
money has been subseilbed to keep lOO men
at work one week, and contributionB are re-
ceived daily to swell the number. The city not
being financially able to give employment to a
large proportion of the laboring classes, and
the public worka being thereby virtually
stopjwd. this new scheme, it is tfaonght, will
have a double advantage, and at the same time
illustrate the earnestness of tho parties who are
generally loud in their demands for a dispensa-
tion of charities.
POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.
PERSECUTION OP REPUBLICAN JOURNALISTS

JOURNALS — UNSCRUPULOUS AND OPPRES-
SIVE COURSE OF THE GOVERNMENT.
London, Aug.- 10. — The electoral cam-
paign on the part of the Frenck Government
daily becomes more active and oppressive.
Yesterday's news includes the iSUowing items :
Hawkers of newspapers at Compiegne were re-
cently requiretl to furnish lists of , the newspa-
pers they served to customers in the arrondise-
ment. The officials then .suppressed the delivery of
the Sihie, Nineteenth Cfnturi/, /VcfW, Bfptib-
lique Franxaix, National, Bien Pabtie, Petit Re-
piiblique Fransaine, aud Petit .fonrnal, all Re-
publican journals. The Union Liberale, of Ver-
sailles, was sentenced to 3,000 francs fine and the
manager imprisoned three months for insulting
President MacMahon. The Nineteenth Century
and Petit J*armcn wdrepro-secutedforpublishing
a colored man of Franco, showing the po-
litical complexion of the departments, the
offen.<!e declared against them being tho unau-
thorized publication of a drawing. The court
convicted them, but passed nominal .sentences
of 50 francs each. Two clubs at Aries have
been closed, charged with being political,-as.sera.-;
blages. The Vifkhe, a newspaper at Toulouse,
has been fined 100 francs for refusing to print
a speech of President MacMahon. Tfte Minis-
ter of Agriculture has a.sked the Prefects in a
circular-letter to remind the employes of the
Department of Agriculture that it is their dntj'
not to attempt to thwart the action
of the Cabinet; or place at the service of hos-
tile partie-s the influence they derive from their
offices. The Paris Police have forbidden the
street sale of photographs of M. Thiers. The
papers announce that 80,000 copies of eques-
trian portraits of President MacSIalion are to be
distributed in tho provinces. The offense of
.>:peaking instiltingly of I'resident MacMahon in
the streets is now becoming a subject
of daily action before the courts.
M. Lefe\Te Durufle, who may bo said to
have originate<l this offense, was condemned
to two months' imprisonment, but succeeded on
appeal in reducing the term to 1 ,"> days. He is
a son of the former Bonapartist Senator. The
Court of Bordeaux ha.-* reversed the decision of
an inferior tribunal, and fined the bookseller
who sold newspapers with special authorization.
Ou the other band, the tribunals of Nevers and
Carcassoue have declared themselves competent
to try actions by newspapers against Prefects
for jireventing the street sale thereof.
Pauis. Aug. 10. — Tho Republican .Senatorial
Committee estimate that the number of Repub-
lican Deputies returned at the approaching
elections will be at least 372.
The person arrested in the south of France
for applying an insultuig epithet to President
MacMahon is named Bazard. not Biggar. He is
a native of France, but a naturalized citizen of
the United States. He lias been tried before
the tribunal of S.aint Di^, in the Department of-
the Vosges, and acquitted.

Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 10. — A special
dispatch to the American from Huntingdon,
.states that Gen. Henry Darnell, who is on trial
at Tiptonville, Lake County, bull-dozed the
court at that plac* on Wednesday and Thurs-
day, with 25 armed men, the Sheriff and
deputies being entirely inefficient. Darnell re-
cently gave himself up, but refused to go to
jaiL and was instewl placed in the custody of
one of his friends. It having been shown that
the liond w^s insufficient, the fact was an-
nounced in court, and Darnell was ordered to j.oil.
The Sheriff refused to act. and Dam'ell. with the
armed mob. walked out of the court-room, de-
nouncing the court and defying the authori-

mand moves at once, following Gen. Gibbon.
One or two hostiles gave themselves up at Mis-

all that can be learned, that Joseph, with a
portion of his band of hostiles, has gone to the
heatl of the Bitter Root Valley with the' inten-
tion of working bis way back to the Littlo

LOKDOK, Aug. 11. — The IhiUy Xfu-s" COTTft
spondent. telegraphing from Hiela on Thurs-
day, says his estimate of tho scriouS' ef-
fect Of the Russian defeat at Plerna,
formed on . the battlefield, is fully homo
out by tho Russian appreciation - of it.
The Russians Etand waiting for necessnry
reinforcements, and are thankful that ihey are
not assailed in their defensive posi-
tions. The defeat has altered the whole plan
of the campaign for this year. The
Russians have virtuallv abandoned tho
expectation of pressing the war successfully
across the Balkans. It will .suffice them if
during the three months still available for
liehting, they can sweep Bulgaria north
of the Balkans clear of Turkish ar-
mite. The orders are to withdraw from all
the trans-Balkan positions. This is from no
direct pressure of the Turks boyond the Bal-
kans, but because nf the risk attending
unsupported advances. On tliis side of the,
Balkans the paralysis caused Ijv tJi« Plevna
reverse still endures. One hundred tliousan-I
moru men are wanted and are forthcoming, but
will have to l>e - wait«?d for. The first
brigade of reinforcements is expected to
cross the D.inube in a day or two. It
is hoped after tliat a brigade will crf»s»
daily.' The^ offensive will doubtless bo
recommenced oefore all the nnnforcer.ients an*
to haud. but a large proportion of them are in-
dispensable. Osman Pasha must b<' struck d**-
cisively; at present he can only lie watched.
The gaps through which the right flank of tho
Russian communications were threatened aro
stopped bv Schackosky's and Knidener's po<i-
lions confronting Ple^Tia and DragomiT<)trs
division between Timova and Loftcha. This
force is probably sufficient fi>r protection,
but utterly inadequate for a renewal of
the offensive. It is estimat<*«l now that
from 00.000: to 70.0<H» Turks are on the
Looftcha and Plevna line, and th»*y will tak*
a deal of In-ating. On the Russian left

available for holding the line from the
Danube to the Balkans. numlM^rs about (JO.OOO.
and is necessarily attenuated over the longfront
so as td leave no gap for the Turks to creep
through. The Turks are prolmbly of about tho
same strengtli. but if Meheraet AH chooses
to take the otTensive he may concentrate at
Rustchuk. Rasgrad, and * (smaii-Haxar. Tho
Russians must be ready to face him everv-
when*. Consequently they must remain
strictly on the defensive. The River
Low still virtually constitutes thfl
line of the Rustchuk Army, but the head-
quarters of the Twelfth* C<irps have been
moved beyond it to Kadikoi. The head-
quarters of the Czarewitch. with the Thirteenth
Corps has advanced to Ka:yiljeva, thus con-
froiiting Rasgrad, while between Osman-P-axar
and Tinv>va the First Di\Tsiun stand.s with it5
head-quarters in Kosarevac.
Cren. Zimmermann is stalemated. He is
guarding the Dobrudscha. which is nut threat-
ened, and he cannot push forward with hi*
30.000 incti. lest his enemies frotn Vftm:i
and Shumla should converg** ujton him. Th*;
Russians are Iwginning to snilTerin health, some
corps from hard marching, tho heat, and irre-
gular rations. The principal cjiuse. Inwcver,
is neglect of sanitary precautions resuiring in a
geupral tainting of the air. At Biela the air is
thick and heavv with emanations from flith and
rotting offal. <jen. Ignati»^ff is still routined to
his room with gastric fever. Prince Galatzin is
also abed with the same com[il»int. Four out
of five Adjutants-General in attendance on tbo
Czar' are sick. Nearly everybcnly is more or
less sick or stjueamish.
The same corre^ondent telegraphs as follows
from Sistova on Friday : " It h:is been at last
definitely resolved to bridg*' the Danube at
IMrgos also. The first brigade of reinforce-
ments, which is a splendid rifle brigade of four
battalions, now at bimniizo. will croasao-morrow
en route to the Ple^^la front."'
The Tiitieii' Bucharest cftrrespon^.ent states
that Lieut. Green, of the Cnite<l Spates Nayy,
who went to Biula as an attacb^ to the Russian-
Army, returned there struck downfcy fever..
The Daily News' correspondent at Niko^olis

The Times Bucharest special states ' that iht»
Cza.t remains at Biela Though the Russian
Arm.T is being strengthened rapidly, there is lit-
tle chance of any serious action for more than a
week. The Turks, instead of acting with,
enei^y and decision, are building nK>re defen-
sive works, and, strangest of all. the Russian.s
have finally decided to stop short in.
their career without operating beyond the
Balkans this year. They will probabi v
succeed in clearing this side of the mountains

relative to ale and beer licoases. It was confidently
ejected that the deeixfon would hare been rendered
yesterday, bat the magistrate, for some unexplained
reason, postponed the performance of that dxxty until
to-day. Jnstieo Smith, when questioned hj the
writer concerning the purport of the forthcoming de-
cision, expressed himself as not being at liberty to
&ay anything beyond the fact that it Is his intention
to merely decide as to what disposition shall be toade
of the papers in the case, wlthont giving a written
opinion. Respecting the fatoro action of the I*olioe
regarding delinquents, matters yestexday assumed an
aspect highly favorable to the dealers — ^that is, ipro-
vidins the ofBccre in command of the force will obey
the instructions issned. In compliance with an order
from the Commissioners, Superintendent "Walling
yesterttay morning siimmoned the Captains and Ser-
geants in command of the various precincts to the
Central Office, where he addressed them In the' fol-
lo%ving terms :
Gkxtleites: I have seTit for yon for the purpose
of sivinc you ray ideas concerning the manner in
which we oucht to enforce the Excise laws. A sood
.inniiy Captains have been out of town, and I believe
that an exehiuiRO of ideas will do no harm. In the
first instaure. there are many men who sell liquors
without a license, who ncverhad a license, nor dothey
ever intend to obtain one. These are the people who
oturht to h« looked after pretty sharp. But use every
effort to iret the meu who nwn the places, andnotthe
bartenders- The harkeeper works one week in this
plsL-o and another in that, and, therefore, he ought
not to Ue arrested if the proprietor can be reached.
The wan who runs a place without a license year
after year, and never makes an application, ought to
.1 e arrested whenever he is found violating the
law ; but, centlemen. do not wait purnoaely imtll
after cor.rt hours. Arrests at night Iook too much
like nersecution. and. thouj^h miLny of these men
keep di^roputalile places, tliey will try to create pub-
lic sympathy, and nv arresting respectable men after
court honrs you will help these fellows tn this ob-
jf ct. and create sympathy for people who ought not
to have either license or sympathy. With referjenee
to the '■ re*'eint " question I wish to say a word or
two. While X have my own views in reference to
them, still we ought to place every magistrate on
record, and they, not we. should decide. AVhen
a mnn who holds » receipt sells liquor, obtain your
evidence, make a sworn statemeut before a magis-
trato and let him i-^jnie a warrant. But don't wait
till nijrht to mske the arrest. If I was a Captaan. I
should not wait uutil ni^ht and lock a man up -in a
- cell this hot went'ier. All we are called upon to do
in to act fairly and aquarely between the law and the
pei^ple. Ma!ce a test case. * There is no need of raids,
no Deces.sity for filling your station bd^^s
nicht after nictht with tnese people. We
hav* to act "without fear or faror, and
let the conrts decide. AlKive alt gentlemen, make
no spasmodic efforts, but act .steadily and intelligent-
ly. Of course, mv remarks with reference to court
hours lio not apply to vioIat*»ra after 1 A. M. Liquor-
dealers canjht \-iolaitn;; this provision of the;law
must be sumraarilyarrested. Impress on your imea
tliHt they magt not act in a spirit of persecution,
•■'•ettins squcre" on a man ny arreating him at
niirht muKt not l»e tolerated. I do not want Miy Cap-
tiiiii or officer to persecute liquor-dealers, but ti^ act
fairly and squarely. Then we will avoid complaints
al'out pervtr«;ution and still do our duty as we shpold
d'j it.

FOTJ.TO BUGS AS PETS.
A correspondent of the London AQHmdt^raZ
TonmaX states that some Colorado beetles have been
given by the writer to a friend near Manchester,
srho keeps them in his frarden, where they "devour
rtrawberries and vegetable marrows with great ; rel-
Uh." The kind donor of the heetle has, he ttys,
'■ cautioned his friend not to let them escape firom
she garden," but it is by no means pleasant to jfeel
that our agricultural prospects depend entirely on
tiio vigilance of this gentleman near Mancheater,
who: m a moment of weariness or forgetfulness may
let lonse ou Kncland an agent of destruc-
l:on| ns- formidahTe as an Invading host.
Her Majesty's Privy Council have therefore
called the attention of Hir Joseph Heron,
the Town ^^erk of Manchester, to this alarming
ktatemenr. and desired that, " if It can be ascertiinea
t'nat the alleged entomological experiments are really
being ninde near Manchester, some steps should be
taken to arrest their progress, and so prevent! the
danjfers to be anticipated if this destructive insect
tliould set a for)tin2. Sir Joseph Heron aceordihgly,
b a letter to the Manchester papers, reoueats ' any
fierson i>os.sesaing information respecting the beetles
o communicate it at once to him. or the Chief Con-
jtable of the city. It is to be hoped that the owner
Df the beetles, if discovered, will consent to have
^cm destroyed ; bat, unfortunately, there is noi aet
>f Parliament forbidding a person to keep any kind
< iuaect for which he may have a fancy. [

BONDS.
'otton Daily Adverti ter .-
of Tuesday last c< ntains an
Frandsco Sutletin which in a
u]»on the arrangemc it made by
Secretary Sberjinaii for the sale of the 1 per cent,
bonda. 'and a pen<ml criticism upon the policy pur-
sued by the Government for seven years, md by five
Secretaries of the Treasury in the negotli tion of the
5, 41*^ and 4 percent, bonds of the United States. As
I have no knowledgeof the particular fact ; which are
alleged in connection with recent neg itiatlons, I
make no remark up >n them ; but I ventmt to observe
tiiat when a negotu^tion touching the pt blic securi-
ties lias been accomplished, men often a ppear who
claim to liave b«*en ready or even mxious to
serve the Govemroent upon more favoi ilile terms.
I observe further that the bankers and a pitallsts ot
San Francisco have' had official knowledf a since the
15th of July. 1870. that the Iwnds of he United
States were to be iisned. and if at any tin e they had
offered to pay ! thf Secretary par lean ^
per cent. comrnij?ii<>n for ¥101>,00<),0[M), or for
f 2o.(K>0.lK)0 of the 4 per Cent, bonds, u idoubtedly
the off er would have been accepted. Thee agagemeut
which Secretary Shennan made with tht syndicate
was not made suddenly nor in a comer. I venture
the assertion tlint | he would have entei toined the
groposition of the ^^an Francisco bankers i nd capital-
its, which the liulUtin now says they wer prepared
to make, if it had been made at any timi after the
4th of March last p.iid pre^'ious to the co: npletion of
the contract with the eyndicate.
That no such proposition was made is conclusive
proof that the parties referred to were no prepared
to make It, and that the statements now} pat forth
are designed to throw obloquy upon the transaction,
and to produce the Impressipn that the Gbvemment
has been wronged. , I
Whenever a Government awards a contract, the un-
successful parties complain, and the tentK-ncy is to
cliai^e wrongdoing upon the officers intiu&ted with
the business. |
In 1870 and 1871 the 5 per cent, bends were
offered to the public through the officers of the Treas-
ury, and without the inter\'ention of a| syndicate.
There was an offer of what is now termed|a popular
loan. Special and persistent efiTorts wefle made to
secure subscriptions. In the end, and ajfter every
means to advance the undertaking had beoin exhaust-
ed, the subscriptions amounted to abont| $0.5,000,-
00C», and of this sum more than $50,000,000 were
taken by the national banks. Further than this the
department was unal^e to proceed. and,|after con-
siderable delay, an arrangement was miMe with a
bodv of bankers for what remained of thf first offer
of ^200,000,000 of 5 per cent, bonds. [This plan
was successful, and from that time forward there
has been no essential change in the modejof mauag-
Inc the btisiness. Since then there have been two
A&ninlstrations and four Secretaries of the Treasury,
and it is reasonable to suppose that some one of these
Secretaries wopJd Ixave resort^ , to a popular sub-
scription if there were any hopes of suqcess. It is
also reasonable to suppose that some one of these
Secretaries woald have discarded the pdUcy of em-
ploying a Byndicate if there were other moans at com-
mand bv which the loain could be placed m a reason-
able time. The plan 6f the Treasury wu criticised
by the press and In Congress at the very pntset, but
no one nda proposed a ! si^eme as a substitute which
has appeared practicable to those on wliom the re-
sponsfbtlity rented. If one Secretary had been per-
verse, or persistent in pursuing an error of poliey
which he had irapro\idently adopted, the circumstance
might not be extraordinary, but the apuearance of
five such Secretaries in succession Is connary to ttie
experience of mankin^. T
The truth is, that no great loan, a loan of 11100,000.-
000, has ever been taken by any people, except under
circumstances widely different from thosejexisting in
the United States at the present time. The French
loan, of which so miich has been said,|was a loan
bearing 5 per cent. Interest, and it was bold at less
than 86 cents on the dollar. ' If the people of the
United States ahonld^ offer a 5 i>er cent, bond of
indefinite time, at R5 per cent, of its pa^ value, the
subscriptions would pe equal to all < th4 available
capital of the country ; but we have sdcceeded in
placing first a 5 per cent., then a 4^ pes cent., and
now a 4 per cent, bond at par in coin. £naand alone,
of all the nations of the earth, eon rival uspfi the mat-
ter oJLpublic credit ; and England is the ofily nation
that could place a 4 n^ cent, loan at par without the
idd of bankers and thelmaeiiinery of banktne honsex.
The accnmulattbns of capital are so great ^ England,
the interest on money is there so low, and* the public
credit so well established, that a large lo^ cotild be
negotiated at home ; but, if it were oCferad in other
connteies, even England would be compelled to resort
to the agency and help of bankers. |
Motft Invaatments are made upon taifh, and not
upon fmy knowledge which the mvestots possess,
and I venture the opinion that the populay subacrlp-
tiona, as thev are called, which were mada under the
Ut« proposal of the Treasury Bepartmeni were due
in a large part to the fact that the most eminent and
wealthy bankers of the world were alreowr subscril)*
ers for enormous sums. The value of the syndicate
is not alone nor chlefiy in their ability to sjibscribe on
their own aceount for laig& amounts of boods, but to
the oircamatanee that their connections and influ-
ence enabled them to enlist the chief finahci&l son-
des of Eompe in npport of this nndertal ing. The
prime qoestion for toe people of the Unitt d States is
not whether thje members of the syhdif ste realize
large profits, but 9ther whetiier the loa l Is placed
at a lower rateibf intirastthan would ot larwue be
?iid. The diffiirenoe for a tangla year [bet reen 4 and
^ per cent, exeeeda jtha total commlnio is paid for
the negotiation of the bonds, and I an confident
that the soles since 1870 are four times aa great as
tiiay would have been If the bushiess ha< b^n eon-

Jn compliance witii s reaolntlon of the Board
of apportionment, Snpezintendant Adanu la bow pre*
paxSnganeatlmatactf theexpenseaof thb Department
of BnUdSsgt for 1878. That department hae long been
r^arded as a mere ref nge for rapadons politiciana,
who furnished no eauivalent aerrleesfor the saXariea
th«yreeelved,and, in Ite prevent condition, its abolitlod
would be a pnbUc benefit. It exists by the authority
of Le^puslatures which were nnder the control
of the old Tammany King, and its power extends
over every stmotare from the Battery to the furthest
poihtsoftheannexeddistiict. The great dark, towering
tenement-houses, which offend the eye at almost
every point^ are witnesses, whether they stand or
fall of the maladministration of a department which
is continually imperilling not only the projierty, but
the llTes of the tens of thousands It la paid to pro*
tect If the Board of Apportionment, instead of
calling upon Mr. Adams for his annual estimates had
hi* department thoroughly investigated, they would
find that it is not only unnecessary, but that it has be-
come a costly and positive injury to the Metropolis,
mailing its growth and contributing to the disgrace
of I its Vretched government. The slanghter of men
andi women while worshiping in St. Andrew's
Chnjrch, occasioned by the falling of a dead
condemned wall through the roof of the
edifice, and the more recent falling of
tenement-hotises In Twenty-third-strcet, are
among the instances that might be cited to show
that the Building Department has failed to comply
with the requirements of the law under which It was
organized to protect life in this City. But there are
other charges laid at its door. It is said that the
faciUtiea for extortion are more extensive in the De-
partment of Buildings than in any other ; in fact^ a
builder is completely at its mercy. His plans are
subjiect to the approval of the Inspector, and the de-
partment, through Mr. Adams or his Immediate as-
sistants, mar Interpret the law as they please.
Builders have long since become palnfolly aware of
the fact that they must yield to the pecuniary de-
mands of a little tribe of sharks who are aa familiar'
with the duties and peculiarities of the ofSca as tbe
Superintendent himself. If the builder "comes
down," aaUie story goes, his structures may go np,
but he is too much overawed by the power of the de-
portment to make a publio exposure of his experi-
ence.
A few days ago a representative of the Timss called
upon Mr. Jacob A. Vanderpoel^ a wealthy real estate
owner, who is familiar with the l^ractlces of the de-
partzntet. Mr. Vandeipoel was formerly a member
of the Board of Education, and he is now one of the
Dock Commissioners.
"What if your opinion of the Department of
BnildiDgs T " said the reporter to him. "It is a very
bad eoncem," he replied, " indeed, I don't know any
Bureau that is worse."
Q.— In what wayt A.— In many ways ; the de-
partment has got every builder and real estate owner
nnder its control, and they are afraid to, say any-
thing lest they ihonld be persecuted; they could do
nothing if the department were against them ; they
ore especially at its merry in the matter of fire-
escapes ; I could tell yon many a story about them.
<J.— Please give me a few facts. A.^Well, I'll tell
yoti iwhat the department does ; there seem to be
littjl^ rings in it, or outside of it, and thev control
their mode of procedure is simple but
effective ; for instance', you are served
with a notice to put np fire-escapes
immediately on your building. Then a member of
the ring^ho knows all about the notice having been
delivered calls upon you and intimates his willing-
ness to have the fire-escape put up by a friend of his.
If you tell him that you are able to attend to that
business yourself, he will simply reply that if you
dott't patronize him. the Building Department will
conjdemn any fire-escape you may have erected. The
bai|der sees into the matter at once, and he feels
thai the ring man has a mission that he cannot safely
ignore.: He delays action on the matter for a few
dayiB, apd after consulting with initiated builders
concludes that be had letter employ the ring man to
do the work. Tlie ring man is subsequently on hand
and receives the order. Then the stmcture is dnly
ereetedl and receives approval at the hands of the dc-
{tartment. I need not. perhaps, tell you that these
fire-eecapes cost a good round stmi, and that there is
a great deal of profit on them.
ii- — Are the builders or real estate owners
mulcted in any other way? A — I have not done
with the subject of fire-escapee yet. When
you put up one of them the profits arising
from it do not satisfy the full rapacity of the
ring. When they require moro money they are en-
abled to rejoice over a new order declaring that the
previous fire-escapes that had been erected do not
answezj tbe purposes for which they were intended,
or come within the new requirements of the depart-
ment. Then they come down like Philistines on
theunlncky property- owner, and repeat their former
story. Of conrsti they get the job. The real estate
owner dare not refuse them. Then the old fire-es-
cape is removed, and a new ono substituted. You
could have no idea. Sir, of how the clasis to which I
have referred has been harassed not only by out-
siders, who give evidence of the fact that 1 hoy are
acting in league with officers of the department,
butjalso by the officials themselves.
q1 — Why don't you maite a complaint before Mayor
Elylagalnst Kuponntendcnt Adams, iffiiis department
is cjontrolled by such rings 1 A. — Mayor Ely has
been made aware of some of the facts. A relative
of mine *ipoke to him in regard to Mr. Adams some
weeks since, and Mr. Ely replied : " Well, let him go
on f<^ the present ; he is oiuy making a rope to hang
himself."
Ql-UWouId the Mayor take action upon any com-
plaint that might be preferred aeainst Mr. Adams }
A.-rl don't know ; I have simply told you what he
saic^ }o a relative of mine. Adams is not very bevero
on me now, because he knows that Indirectly I have
the !«ar of the Mayor, and might place him in an ugly
position- There is another matter of which you
mignjt make a note.
Q^-i-Have you finished the subject of fire-eseapes ?
A.— rYes, for th*? present. The matter to which pub-
lic attention ought to be called is ttiis : Mr. Adams
or his subordinates have given permission to erect
frame buildings on Fifth, Sixth, and other of our
leading avenues, thus not only imperiling but depre-
"ig the value of property in these neighborhoods.
eat many people are indicant at thut, and tbeir
t;;y'
eating the value of property in these neighborhoods.
A great many people are indicant at thut, and tbeir
voice will soon be heard. The frame buildings for
whibh permission was given have been erected, to the
astonishment of everybody except those who know
wh4t can be done in the Building Dep«utment. I
shall imyself see that the Mayor's attention is called
to th|s fact.
The conversation then ended, the gentleman prom-
islngjto give further information ata future time.
' THE PAY-ROLLS ALL WBONG.
Perhaps, however, the above charges are not the
moflftj serious that can be laid at the door of the De-
partment of Buildings, as will be seen from another
inten'iffw that occurred between an official formerly
connect€Ki with it and the writer ;
Q:_Whatr do you know about the department?
A.— ^I was employed in It, and I ought to know a
good deal about it ; in the first place Its pay-rolls are
wrong in this, that some of the men don't get the-
sums set opposite their names.
Q. -j-That is a serious tlung ; are yon quite sure of
Itl A.— Yes, Sir,; I am sure of it.
Q-j-Caniyougiyeme the name of any person who
reccdyed less than the sum put down to nim on the
pay roll 1 A. — I con ; I myself was treated in that
wa; ; I received less than the salary that appeared
oppssjte my name.
Q. — I have heard that Mr. Adams lets his sub-
ordiCnates have their own way, and that he is seldom
at the office ? A — Then you have^heard the truth ;
buti although he is absent, everything that has been
done is told to him, and he lets the department go on
as tisnal.
Q; — Yoa were an expert in the department.
Prom what you know of it, do you tliink that life in
teuement-housos is safe under its management V
A. — X do not ; the falling of the tenement buildings
in Twenty-third-street, a short time ago, is a proof of
the [feet ; they were pronounced safe by an inspec-
tor of the department shortly before they fell.
Qi-r-HavB you got positive knowledge of that fact f
A--LI have, but 1 don't want to be brought into any
unnieceBsary controversy on the point, especially aa"l
am acquainted with Mr. Adams. Let me tell you an*
other very wronc "thing about the department. For-
merly the attaches of it were furnished with badges
desifpiating their office and showlns their authority.
Soma of the meu were discharged, oat they retained
their badges, and were thus enabled to exercise their
former functions.
Q. — How is the patronage of the dei>artment dis-
posed of ! A. — It is divided in such a way as to pre-
vent Mr. Aidams' removaL When the Lt^lattrre is
in session Assemblymen can get the places, and when
the Legisla^oxe baa adjourned the Aldermen's friends
get them. The Solons and the City Fathers are thus
kept from interfering with the department. I be-
lieve that Tammanj' is going to get nearly all the
patronage in it in a nw dayi.
The ^ter next called upon Mr. fTames M. MeOxe-
gor,i formerly Superintendent of Buildings. He said
that I Mr. AdaniJi' department was grossly mis-
managed, andthJultseemedtobenwintheixLtazttst
of a( few men.

dea). I know that perxaiatdon. has been given to
floreot ffane;tmllding* that may taH at any moment.
Ql — Will yon name one of themi A— I will give
yon a apedmen Instance. The department allowed
a frame theatrical bniiding to be erected on the Bow-
ery, and I regard the structure as unsafe, hut it
seems that persona connected with the department
have an interest in the concern, and, therefore, the
permission wan given. I know that the department
Is very badly conducted.
A good deal might be written without exhausting
the ea^ndar of eomplointa against Mr. Adama and
hla department. ' The dark and dangerous tenement
btiUdingB erected by his permission, the worthless
fijre-escapes on these itmctm^ composed of thin
iron ladden, readilng up to nine or ten storiee, on
which women and children u-e supposed to descend
in ease of flire, but which even nimble saQors eould
hardly scale, and the absenee of these fire-eeeapes
from buildings where they are most needed — all bear
testimony against him. it is a significant fact that
the ownexa of small frame buildings, wtiieh ore com-
paratively safe, have been com^led to erect fire-
escapes, while hnge elght-stofy barracks, filled
with famlliea, are without thenL, And then, again,
flre-eseapes have been erected at the back of tene-
ment-housee, within a few yards bf other rear buUd.
ings which have no merfns of egress except through a
narro^ hallway, sotnettmea duk, winding, and
pefiWua. The writer could give mmdreda of in-
stances of this fact from personal observation. He
oonld also point I to many rickety frame buildings
which have been, allowed to stand in their present
condition for many years, and which may topple
over at any moment. They mav be found in the
region of the old Fivo Points, in &rand, Washington,
and other streets down town.
It is somewhat ludicrons to behold the position
Mr. Adams and his subordinatea place themselves In
soon after a building has fallen in this City or been
destroyed by fire. On the morning after the calamity
he Is promptly on the gronnd, looking wistfully at
the ruins, or informing members of the pressjthat he
came to do ereTTtbingthat layin his power to^Ud the
poor sufferers. He stood on the debris of the Twenty-
third-street tenements tne day after they fell, and
had the fact proclaimed In some of the news-
fapors- as an evidence of his watchfulness.
mmedlately after the destruction of the Brooklyn
Theatre by fire, he caused an examination to l>e maile
of all the places of amusement in this City, had a
few slight alterations made in them, and then pro-
nounced them safe, although some of them were
known as mere *' shells." with Insufficient egress,
that in case of a conflagration would " go off like a
match." At that time the fact of the worthlessneas
of his department! aa a means of protection to life
dawned upon the public, which has withdrawn the
small amount of confidence previously rex>osed in it.
It would be well for the Board of Apportionment
or the Mayor to cause a-rieid and tborouch examina-
tion of the secret affairs of the Building Department
to be made before i considering Mr. Adams' forthcom-
ing estimate of exbenses for Uie year 1876.
A THIRTY TEARS' COURTSHIP.
REMARKABLE BfeEACH OP PROMISE CASE IN
TORKSHIRkL ENGLAND — ^A WOMAN JILTED
AFTER AN ENGAGEMENT OP 30 TEARS-
TWO CHILDREN^ BORN TO THE LOVERS —
A VERDICT IN FAVOR OF THE PLAINTIFF.
From tM London Daily AVict , July 27.
At the LieedB Summer Assizes on Wednesday,
before Mr. Justice Lush, an action was brought by
Tjydia Dixon against William Brearley to recover
damages for a breach of promise of marriage. Mr.
DIgby Seymour and Mr. Heaton Cadman were for
the plaintiff ; andMr. Waddy andMr. West for tbe
defendant. In opening the cose, Mr. Seymour said
defendant denied. the promise of marriage and said
that BufBciont time had not elapsed. All he [Mr.
Seymourj eould say was that if 30 years' courtship
was not loQg enongh he was much mistaken. [X>augh-
ter.] This case was. in seme respect a remarkable
one. The plaintiff was the daughter of parents
in humble circumstances, and during many years
of her life in various situations near Soutliowram,
Halifax- The defendant was now a currier in South-
owram, and on the 6th May last he married the
widow of a substantial butcher in that neighborhood.
He formed an acqntintance with, and propo6ed mar-
riage to. the plaintiff when she was only i7 year« of
age. She was now 49. (Latighter.) And humoronn
as it was in one sense, hethoughtwhenthe juryheard
the case it would assume, as far as the plaintiff was
concerned, a different aspect. The facts showed that
the ('onduct of the defendant was very heartless, and
there were incidents in the case which led her lo trust
him down to thjs| very last. He had a number of
letters which were written a long time ago, and which
showed that the | parties commenced, at lea.'rt, with
honorable intentions. They were remarkable epU-
tles, and showed how religion and love fell in to-
gether and gave a tone to the mind of the writer.
The defendant began in the tone, he was going to
say, of the prayer-book—" Dearly beloved." JLaugh-
ter.j He [Mr. Seymour] was not surnriaed the letter
began thus, for it was written on a Sunday evening.
{Renewed laughter.] The letter, which was dated
April 3, 1817, went on aa follows :
" I hope yon haTelarrived safe and well and that 70U
are In good health and spirita, aa 11 leaves me at present.
My dear, I wan raach affe*Tted this morning on opening
that which you gavo m<» on Snnday night hwt. My
heart was a^mo^t mjplted within me. when lo ! to ray nur-
prlM • • " Rcttiember me. I shall ever remember
you, my lore^ and \ hnpe we Hhall meet again ' as fre«h as
fhe lily of tbe valley and the rose in May doth appear.' "
tfLatjghter.J i|
\VhIch was the iijose and which the lilv. he [Mr.
ymour) did not know. If he were the rose, it left
h sharp ;thom behind, and gave her a very severe
stlngi ! [Renewed laughter. J Letter oontlnuing.
said :;
"Oh only be faithful. nprlKht. true, and ohoiite. and
render unto me, and I will render onto yon, aaXth tho
Jx>rd."|
•j— [Loud laoghter.]
I -'Write me, love, i^ndlet ftie pen have its free come,
ks paper is \-ery trifling. Your dear affectionate lover.
I WlLdJAM BREARLET."
I Di the next letter he song in a higher strain. He
Sighed:
"Oh, that ! had wintcslikoadove,
I would Sy to the anns otmy love.
To takea kiss so sweetly."
SOUTHEM PURPOSES.
Laughter.] HeJhen wrote.
, " I hbpo yon arcroll content „ , _ .

I hbper on are ^U content and In good uptrtts, for I
iuexcellcnt h^l^h and couraee. and spirits as high
sx the heaventi, for wonden^ n^ver cease, and sorrow stnl
decreafcth for prosperity smlleth, and 1 hope yon will
give me an answer, for I tthall meet Mary on Sunday
^ehtilf It is left to you alone."
I The letter went on to say that prosperity smiled on
him. He [Mr. Seymour] hoped that it did so atill, and
that he might be able to nay the damages which m<ght
he found against him. [Laughter.) From ttiis time
down to May last defendant fre^inently alluded to his
position with regard to tho plamtiff In the presence
^of the members of her family, and had made her re^
~i>eated ijromises of marriage. Trusting in him, she
gave way to his entreaties, and in the vear 1853 so
far forgot herself as to become the motKer of a cliild
— o daughter— which wos stlU alive, and which had
been aftlliated on the defendant. Two or three
yeftjs afterward she gave birth to another
daughter, which was sull living, but very del-
icate, and which was also affiliated upon defendant.
.JLfter the birth of the children he continued to be ex-
wemely kind to the mother, and as the children grew
np he frequently asked them to call him "father."
He made them many i>reRenta, more or less liberal,
and acted toward them in every way becoming a man
who Intended to be joined in wedlock with their
mother. Defendaht excused himself from not carry-
ing out hia repeated promises by saying that his fath-
er was living and wante<l him to stay at home. Some
time In 1 872 or 1873, he gave the plaintiff a sum of
.^30 for her daughter. The evemng prior to his
marriage with the] butcher's widow, he called upon
plaintiff mode he^ a present of £50, and asked
whether his wishes In regard to the other £50 had
been carried out. ne never told her anything about
his intended marriage, bnt led plaintiff to believe
Jthat he was making all this provision with the view
of making her his wife. On one occasion when a
renuurk was made iibout plaintifTs danghters, to the
effect that they were sensitive about their position,
the defendant ro]611ed, "WTiat should they bo
ashamed of ? I mean to make them all right. As
soon as the old gaffer has gone we'll all live honora-
Ijly and happily together." However, he married the
window of a butcher on the 6th May last.
LydiaDlion. the! plaintiff, gave cororborative evi-
dence. She added that she received a letter from the
defendant to the foilowinc effect ,
" Remember, love,j the nfght you left the AdglU Grove,
for you only are the joy of my heart. » • • j^p.

, Yea, tbo«^ art dear unto my heart,
: More dear than worda can tell;
And if a fault be cherished there,
I 'Tis loving thee too welL"

Otli^r witnesses having been examined, Mr. Waddy
addressed the jury, who ultimately gave a verdict for
the plalntiff^-diunakeB. £250.

-The Portland Oregonian prints a full report
of the speech delivered by Senator Morton at Salem,
Oref(m, on Friday evening. Jaly 27. That he ^oke
with direetneat and point the following liberal ex>
tracts win show : ^
I shi^ speak to you for a short time, my friends,
to-night, in Inference to the political situation. I
did not come to Oregon for that purpose. I did not
think of speaking, but now that my official duties
have terminated, and at the request of a large
number of my political and personal friends, I
have agreed to eay something upon the general
situation. Our Government is at this time in a
peculiar sitoatlon. It is divided In Its powers be-
tween two parties. The Democratic Puty had a
majority in the last House of Bepresentatives, and
will have In the new one abont to be organized.
The Republican Party has a small majority in the
Senate. 'Rie B^Hiblican Party have elected a Presi-
dent, a patriotic and able man^ who has entered upon
the discharge .of hia duties under circumstances of
great difficulty and embarToasmeat. A condition of
things has eome to pass which many believed would
never take plaoe in this country, and which I had
hoped to see long deferred, If it ever should happen.
We are now at a period of retrogression. There is
no use in dlagaJahig the situation from otirselves for
one moment. Whenever we ore in danger the best
thing to do is to confront it, meet it boldly. There
is nothing to be gidned by dt^uislng the situation of
affairs. Let us understand it fully, and coorageons-
ly address ourselves to it.
A RAPID BKVISW OF FIFTEKN TEASS.
When the war was over, the Republican Party,
being in the ascendenoyin every niu^ of the Gov-
ernment, havine a majority in each house of Con-
gress, and having the Pii>Bldeht. proceeded to the
work of reconstruction. But very soon a President,
elected by the Itepublicans, deserted the party and
went over to the Democratic Party. But the Re-
pubUcan Party was still left In poisession of both
nouses of Congress. It proceeded in 1867, after a
long debate and consideration, to the wozic of re-
construction. It devised and adopted a system
upon w^hich the States which had been engaged in
the rebellion might return to their normal condi-
tion In the Union, and exerdsefull political power.
Under the circumstances, it was one of extraordi-
nary ma^animity. So f ar aa generosity was eon-
eemed, it excelled anything in the history of the
world, allowii^ all those men who hod been in arms
against us to take part In the administration of our
Government. All those who had been engaged in
Abe rebellion were at once forgiven. Their offenses
were at once wiped oat— forgotten they never can
be. The great mass of the Southern people were at
once admnl^ to the enjoyment of poliucal ri^ts.
Now, there were a great many wise men in the
North who thought this was unwise, and that the
time would come when they would regret it. Am-
nesty was conferred on ou except a few of the
leaders of the rebellion, those who had been mem-
bers of Congress before the war, those who had
been in the Army and Navy, those in the diplomatic
service of the country who had occupied positions of
hlfih trust — most of those were excepted for the time
being. But the rules were relaxed, even In regard to
them, uniil now there are not more than 200 persons
in the United States under political disabiUtlea on
account of their connection with the rebellion. Most
of the military officers and those who had been in the
Congress of tyb Confederacy were pardoned or am-
nestied, and many of them are now in the Congress
of the United States, making laws for the government
of this people. We had hoped that this magnanimity
of the Eepubllcan Party — that party which ho^
been in power ail these years — we had hoped
this magnanimity on tbe part of the Repub-
lican Party would have been met . In the
same spirit, and that the Republicans in the South,
whether white or black — Union men or Confed-
erates, would be regarded aa having politlca] ri^^ts,
and permitted to enjoy them in security. This
was what we had a right to expect. Our ideas
comprehended a perfect system of freedom of ac-
tion to carrv out our views in anv leeitimate way,
by having Uberty of speech, by navihg liberty to
publish, by having the right to meet in eonven-
tiouH, by resorting to any machinery neeeasory to
carry on Govemmenti in every act recognizing their
right to do all these things. There is no liberty
without this. It is a condition of slavery, and just
so far as any class of people come short oi this, Just
so far their liberty is abridged. In the reconstruc-
tion of the Southern States we - voluntarily re-
stored them to equal political rights. But when
the Democratic Party in the South come into power
they set out to destroy and annihilate the Repuolicon
Party, not simply to 6eat it as you wonld beat it by
voting it down ; not to beat It In that way. but to de-
stroy It to moke it impossible to be a Republican, so
that a man cannot be a Republican without incurring
the danser of closing his business, perhaps his life,
losing all chance of social happiness, so that his chil-
dren cannot ko to school — In other worda, to destroy
him iK)liticalIy, commercially, and especiaDy profes-
sionally. This has been the nenalty f or being a Re-
publican in the Southern States. This was the plan
adopted in Alabama. Iliey proceeded afterward
in the same course throughout the States of
North Carolina, Arkanaaa, Misalsaippi, and now
in South Carolina, Louisiana, and- Florida.
State by , State the Republican Party has
been destroyed by force, violence, persecution. The
Democratic Party has but a small majority in Greor.
gia— I think not over 6.000 or 8.00O-aad yet they
gave a majority for TUden of 81.000. In Missis-
nipt the R«pubbeans have a majority of not less than
30,000 or 35,000, and yet in l»75-0 that State
five a Democratic majority of GO.OOO. Alal>ama has
B.OOO Republican majority, and vet it gava Tilden
a majority of over 30,000— nearly 40,000. South
Carolina,' the strongest Republican Htate in the
Union, in proportion to its population, having a
clear majority of not less than JO. 000, had that ma-
jority In-ou^t down to a mere song, to a mere nomi-
nal number. How did it happen t It boa been done
by violence. It has been done by murder. It has
been done by oppression. It has 1>een done bv perse-
cution. It has been done by every influence ^lat the
tyranny of man can devise. The colored men were
killed by hundreds, and I may say by thousands.
The evidence is complete and overwhelming. Take
tlie campaign in Mississippi in 1875. in which there
were hundreds of murders and crimes of every de-
scription. It is a tale of horrors, too terrible for be-
lief, yet the vast volumes of evidence token to prove
it is a sealed book because it is a task too huge to
read it.
A 80Ln> SOUTH AND THE OOXSEQXrENCEfi.
My friends, the Democratic Party has acquired a
soliu South. They have gained a solid South, not
by voting the Republicans down as you would vote
the I>emocrats down In Oregon, but by these crimes,
and they have control of these States. The South
boa been conquered from the Repabllean Party aa
tho rebellion was before conquered by the armies of
tho Union. Now, friends, let us consider what it is
going to bring to you as Republicans or as Democrats
1 Oregon I >Vbat will it bring to tlie people of the
North I For, my Democratic friends, we are aH in
the same boat in this matter. ^Vhat affect«
them ilisastrously will affect you disastrous-
ly, and you cannot afford to stand by and
see any class of men deprived of their
rights, no difference whether they ore white or black.
Republican or Democrat, Protestant or Catholic —
you cannot safely stand by and see any class of men
deprived of their rights. For when any class of men
are successfully deprived of their rights it la a blow
struck Kt human liberty. It may come to you before
long. The South is to be wielded as a aoUd South.
It is to be tied up as one sheaf. It is to be a unit. It
is intended thereby to make it the master of this
country, and when they have crushed the Republican
Party out of existence in the South, they hope bv a
solid South, with the aid of a few States in the
North — New- York, New-Jersey, and Connecticut will
suffice — ^by having a solid South, they expect to.
dominate the Noruiem Democrats as they did the
Southern Republicans. This is their poliey, and it is
a question whether ^e people of the North will long
submit to this. My friends, they will not. . We can-
not sacrlflf^e principle because those who may be the
present victims of it happen to differ from uj^ln poll-
ucfl. I want my Democratic frlenda to iwderstand
we cannot consent to have 5,000,000 or 6,000.000
of men struck down and mode slaves because they
happen to differ from others in politics. This wiU
come bock, and cannot be practiced upon one class
without other classes being Injured thereby. We must
insist that every man shaU have foil and complete
enjoyment of his xwlltical rights. Thank God the
Bepubllcon Party stands on tiiat platform ; it la worth
everything else ! We want to be a party of human
liberty. We want to be a party of equal rightB. We
want to be a party of equu justice. We believe in
S'ving eqtial rights to all men without regard to opin-
n, and without regard to their condition.
SOUTHEBN PXiEDGBS VTOUaTED.
In Louisiana and South Carolina, when Mr. Hayes
was Inaugurated, he found their Governments simply
exisitins: in the State-houses. He determined not to
tmdertue to sustain them. I am not going to dis-
cuss the question whether he could or not, but my
own impression is, he could not. But he determined
that be would not undertake it. But they gave him
certain pledges, gave to him certain promises, agi-eed
to do certain things, in case the Army-was withdrawn
from Louisiana and South Carolina. Every one
of these pledges has been violated. In direct
violation of their promise, they have In-
dicted members of the Returning Board, d circum-
stance that should make the face of every Southern
man crimson, in the State of South Carolina tiiey
violated every pledge, showing that these men will
keep faith vith no one. They will keep no faith,
obser^'e no obligation. Observe that I dpn't intend
to say all'the people of the South are of that char-
acter. There are a lai^ class in those States who
abhor these things, but they are powerless. They
dare not express this, they dare not raise their
volces in regard to it. There is a fire-eating and ag-
gressive class, who, though in the minority, domi-
nate these other men just as they did before the
war. When the rebellion ca^e on there was a
large element who opposed it; a majority in
Louisiana onposed it, a majority in Tennessee,
in North CoroUBa and perhaps other States, but the
flre-eating doss, who gambled and run horses,
these are the men who controlled the politics of the
South. The men of property and education are'
silent because their protection demands It. Wade
Hampton is but a representative of this class.
Nichols is but their representative, and sevezal
other southern men that I could mention. And
then the murder of the Chiaholm famllv took place
under circumstances of such axtrooruinaxT' horror
that it shookthe whole worid; yon have readthestory.

PATHKXT OF THE BEBEI, CIAUCS TO BX DE*
MANDED.
Kow, friends, a few words as to what la IOobIt to
happen if the Democratic Party of the South snail
£Bt control of this Govemnient. I may say right
ere to yoa that the people of the 8011th an deaper-
at^ In earnest. They have a policy. Our Deano-
exmtte friends of tb« North have no policy. I will
ask tbe most intelligent Democrat in the State of
Orwon what la the policy of his own party upon any
sahjlect, I do not core what it is, and he cannot
tell me. I would like to put them on the stand and
have them answer. They have no policy. On the
currency no two h&rdly agree ; on the tariff ques*
tion they do not agree ; and on internal Improve-
ment they do not agree. They have a policy upon only
one point— they are all for the office*. Not so with
the South. Iney have a policy in which they agree.
They will say to you. '* Take the ofHce^ but give us
the meaauree." They will give you the President,
Vioe-Preaidont, and members of the Cabinet, but they
want their measures. What are your measures, gen-
tlemen f The first Is to pay tlum /or their lotut our-
ing tiu war— for property dettroyed by cvr Armff and
(heir Artny ; for the real estate injured and oersonal
property destroyed. Thhi Is what they ask. Thmi tefll
he satitfied itrUh nothing leu. The Democratic Party
of the North can never agree with them except upon
thatpollcy. Therelsonesecretsomeofyouheredonot
know. Mr. Tilden wrote a letter just before the 1st
of November, late in October, driven to It by stress
of circumstances, in which he saSd: "I shall never
be In favorof paying the rebel debts." He put it off
until the lost moment, but that letter lost bim the
confidence of the South. They never respected him
afterward. The South now. If they wire to nomi-
nate a-condidate, would not touch lilden with a 40-
foot pole. They voted for him afterward because
they were clearly satisfied it would be better for
them than to have a Republican. If it had not been
ifor that letter, they would have filibustered and pie-
vented the count. • It is sometimes said that
the decision was produeed- by contract. They
consented to lose Tilden because be had de-
clared against their claims. No Democratic
candidate will ever do that again. The very
moment he did that he cut his jugular vein. The
South are determined upon that policy, rhiey will
not act with the Democratic Party eicent upon the
condition that they concede to them that policy.
Once begun, 1/ ■wCI banhrttpt tkut Government, running
np to hundredt and thoutandt of T7t4Uio7U of doUart.
I may refer to one thing, that so far as these South-
em claims are concerned, they have been voted
upon for the last five years, and that no Dem^ocntt
hat been /ovnd voting againU any eUUfn in
the SentUe becaiue the owner weu a reb^ So
for as that distinction is concerned, it has
been ignored almost entirdy. Votes in both
houses have ignored that distinction. The
claims have been defeated in the Senate of the
United States, where it was known that tho property
belonged to rebels, nottme of the Democratic mem-
bars voting against the claim upon that aeeotmt.
The Southern men will not stand it. The Sotiihem
men toill tiot permit them to t>ote againtt theee claim* ;
if they do the partnership is dissolved — ^it only ciMs
upon that conoition. Bnt it don't stop there, friends ;
this Is the first thing, and when they pay all claims,
whether of rebel or union men, they say this is the
way to oUay all feeling, . abolish all dbrtlnction
created by the war between lovoity and dipdojolty,
and thtis you fraternize. If the Democratic Par^
get into power do you think they will ever vote a
dollar to pay the pensions unless you pav the
pensions of the soldiers engaged in the reDellion f
when they get Into power it mil be pension all or
pension none. Tho next, periiaps the last thing, will
be to osJc for the payment for their slaves.
THIS PCrBPOSE KOT ABASTDOKED.
If there is any one who thinks they have aban*
doned the idea of getting pamnent for their elaret,
that is a mistake. They wUl not come to that at
once, but thev will come to it gradually. It is well
known they Iiave prtterrsed a eatdlomu <^ ihar
slave*, their appraisement and their value, and they
teiU demand paynhcnt for their Have*, and when
they make that demand the Democratic Party of
the North cannot consistently refuse it, because
when slaverr was abolished we were told by
our Democratic friends in Oregon, and everywhere
else, that it was unconstltutionaL And the Democrats
voted agoinBt tbe thirteenth aznendment. Lincoln's
course w;a6 deemed an oppressive tyranny. Tlie Re-
publicans were blamed for bringing on the war and
us responsible for its consequences. If they get Into
power they will demand payment for their slaves.
They will say, you said we were right, you ,said the
Emancipation Proclamation was unconstitutional ;
you have agreed with tis ; now if you believe we
are right and they were wrong, then you must l>e In
favor of paying us. I aay that if I was a Democrat
and believed the Proclamation of Emomnpation was
a crime, I should feel impelled as an honest man to
pay the men for their property thus taken improp-
erly, and there is no answer to this argument. But
this is not the first step. The first is the payment of
their claims — all their loss. Next is the pension of
their soldiers, widows, and orphans. Pension all or
Knsion none, and the next is tneir slaves. And per-
ps next will come the rebel wax debt.
DOCTRIKE OF THE BEBELLIOX STILL TAUGHT.
In the South they are to4ay teaching in every'
school, -academy, and college, the doctrine of State
sovereignty and State rights ; the-same doctrine that
they taught before the war. It is taught in every
Democratic newspaper in the South, in every book that
they publish of a politica^character, more indixstri-
ously than ever before. That alarms nobody, and
don't bear fruit to-day or to-morrow ; but it 'bears
fruit in a generation or two. The alarm and the
dangers are, that the South ore now being taught
these doctrines that brought on the rebellion. It is
a part of every young znon's education. "WTiat are
those doctrines f That the States are sovereign
and independent ; that each State is a nation ;
that our Government is a Confederacy ; is
at the same time a combination or collection of
States bound together by treaty. Kvery State is a
nation, independent and fiovereign,and are simply held
together by a written agreement called a compact.
fHiat was the doctrine of C-olhoun, and is the doctrine
of Alexander H. Stephens toniay, and is that of every
leader of the Democratic Party to-day in tho whole
South. Thatmade rebellion possible -it wasseizednpon
by slavery. The idea is that New- York is one nation
and South Carolina another, just the same as France
and England, haviuK entered into a treaty, and that
Instead of having one nation we have 38 nations ; if
the Constitution Ehould be suspended, we have 38
hidependent nations, just as Independent^as France
and England. ^Vhen the rebellion came'on tbey de-
termined to secede ; they Insisted they had the right
to withdraw at pleasure ; that they c&me voluntarily.
and could go ont voluntarily. South Carolina could
go out by the some process that sheeome in. Vlr-
l^nia eould do the some thing. That doctrine is b»-
ug tauji^t in the South to-day. "We cannot tell, no
man can tell, what may be before us.
THE KATXOSAL I>OOTKQnE.
The Republican doctrine is just the opposite of all
this. With them there is but one Instead of 38 no-
tions. That we are one people, inseparable and indi-
visible ; that Oregon is a port of this nation, just as
Indiana is a part of the some great people, subdi-
vided into States for local and domestic purposes,
and these States have their rights under the (Jonsti-
tution, sacred, inviolable, and impregnable. We have
no right to violate them. They were gisgn
by tbe Constitution when Oregon was im-
mitted into the Unioru Congress might have
kept ycm out for a century. » Ton were made a State
by an Cet of Congress. Every right you have as a
State isgivbn to you by the Constitution of the United
ted States. You agree to this doctrine as soon as
you become a sovereign State. "We teach the doc-
trine of nationalihf. It is the only doctrine, my
friends, that can keep the people together in the
far future. Wherever we are, wherever we go we
nn Americans, whether In Oregon, in Indiana, or
South Carolina. We have the same rights, we be-
long to one people, and no State has a right to with-
draw from the Union. We teach the doctrine be-
cause it is safe to the States, and because It is the
only one upon which union can. be preserved.
THE KEXT POLXTZCAL STSUGOLE.
Hy friends, I have spoken longer than I intended
to. 3Iy remarks have been desultory, and I have had
BO prearranged speech. I want to aay, In conclusion,
that the lumnony and preservation of the Repub-
lican Party is indispensable to tbe prosperity and
■^ety of the Union. This is now more so than it
ever was before. There is a solid South against us.
How long it will last I do not know, but understand
this is the situation to-day, and that the South ex-
pect to wield the sentiment as one voice in the ap-
proarfiing political contest. It Is important^ there-
fore, that tbe North should stand together ; that
you should stand together in the great struggle,
that we shall not lose all that we have won.^We
must preserv'e the constitutional amendments ;
we must preserve the fruits of the war ; all our in-
terests, both Democrats and Republicans, are allke^
If the people of the Soutli are struKhng for tb^tf
own recuperation, they care not a fig v>t the De^ioc-
racy of the North. Nothixig has happened showing
that they care a whit for them. They have not for-
gotten that the Democracy of the North encouraged
them to go into the rebellion, and made them be-
lieve they wonld not permit them to remain In the
Union. But they act with the Democratic Partv of
the North, bacause they have an object. The
people of the Sooth have their own policy
to carry out, their own wrongs to redress, their
own losses to pay off. And they want to make the
Northern Democrat and Republican pay for their
losses, and If we have to pay them the Northern
Democrats will have topay their share. That will
be some consolation. Tncie South — we have forgiven
them. They cost half a million of lives
and six thousand millions of dollars by their
crimes. There is scarcely a family in all
this land in which there is not a vacant chair. Bnt
we foreave them all that. All we ask is that they
shall be good citizens. We claim the right to go
there, live and have otir own opinions and access to
every privilege that we give thorn when thpy come
^re. With that we will be satisfied, and with
nothing else.

generally conceded that the race lies between Parola
and Vera Crux, on a dry track, but if it shoold ba
heavy. Bushwhacker, with his lijg^t impost,
will be deemed a dangeivius competitor.
There is a considerable diifereoce of opinion
as to whether Parole can carry 20 pounds more than
Vera Cruz, although a year older, and beat him over
the distance and this can onlv be decided in the
struggle, consequently everybody is on the tip-toe ot

caputs ' TANCHES FKOX THE NEW-TOBK
TnCES. By W. U Ai.Dn. New- York: Lomb
■ ADAlt, Wbwu * Ctt 1877. ^
A good deal of Mr. Aldeu's humor accords
Irith the definition of Kant — " the sudden con-
■Ywndon Into nothing ^ a long-ralaed and highly-
Vrought expectation.'^ All of It yill stand the
tost of Sidney Smith's requirement of "'wit
'eombined -with sense and information, softened
itj benevolence, and restrained by strong prin-
dple ; wit in the hands of a man who can use
It and despise It, who can ba witty and some-
times much better than witty, who loves honor,
iusHce, decency, good-nature, moralitr, and
Religion ten thousand times better than wit,"
and with whom, therefore, wit is a means to
■ome highly-desirable ends. Of course, laugh-
ter is an end of itself, and no despicable one
•Jther, in these days of " earnest " politics, dis-.
aul science, and bad business. But Ur. Al-
dan's humor, like all the humor which the
'World recogni2es as genuine, stimulates the
Intellect wbUe tickling the diaphragm. It
touches the springs of reflection as well as
those of mirth. It need not be assumed that
Mr. Alden is more of a moralist, a political
philosopher, or a social censor than a
mere humorist. It is because he fills
the last part worthily that he dis-
charges the others with manifest success,
though perhaps without deliberate thought or
Intention. He iufa that keen perception of
■hams, incongruity, and pretense which lays
bare the inexhaustible comedy of human life,
and finds the droU side of the solemn humbug
Which enters so largely into the world's wis-
Aom. His humor does not depend for Iti effect
on fantastic spelling or on a vulgar fa miliarity
With things that most men regard as sacred.
He chaffs the over-subtleties of science with the
air of a man who has imbibed more geological,
aitronomical. and biological speculation than he
was able to digest, and he mimics the absurdi-
Mes of the "one-ideaed" social reformer
%ith a precision of nomenclature which
nggests that he has taken the trou-
ble to analyze the specifics of the
enthusiast or the quack before ridiculing them.
His burlesque of scientific terminology is as
tonny as the mellifluous and meaningless word-
kompounds of the author of Alice in WontUr-
tmd; it has the same elusive suggestiveness
■nd the same grotesqne likeness to the pon-
derous originals. For, his science in mas-
jueradeia that of a scholarly critic, if not that
Of an appreciative student, just as his delicate
qniaaing of the tone and style of theological
controversy is that of a man who has gone
deeply enough into the subject to catch the
•plrit of the warfare 'which raged over the
Gnostic heresy, and just as his thorough and
■ecurate command of nautical phraseology be-
speaks a practical familiarity with the business
«f the seaman. He has a mannerism both of
■tyle and treatment which few readers of The
- TuiBs can have failed to recogni2e, but his
varied stores of information and the univer-
■ality of his sympathies prevent him from
being either tedious or commonplace.
The present volume contains about 120 con-
tributions made by Sir. Alden to the columns of
The TniES. How little journalistic work there
Is which could stand the test of collection and
republication as these papers have done ! Xo
•ne who has read them before can fail to find
fresh pleasure in reading them again, and to
the moat critical of those who read them for
the flrat time they will convey no suggestion of
the pressure of daily work under which they
were written, and of the depressing lack of ap-
propriate topics over which their author has had,
like all the workers in his profession, so often
to triumph. The articles called forth by mar-
velous items of current news like the Western
meat-showers, or the manifestations of modem
Spiritualism, are as happy as the' disquisitions
•pon things in general, like the charming essay
on "Pockets," the lament, almost worthy of
Lamb, over "The Decay of Burglary," or
Uiose most characteristic pieces of home- Sa-
vored humor, "The Subtle Taok-haromer,"
"Taming the Lamp-chimney," and "The Buzz-
law." We suspect that a good many of Mr.
JJden's readers will be puzzled to detect
• tte difference between the serio-comic narra-
tives which have a substratum of fact and
those which are pure fiction. It was only the
other day that an English journal gravely re-
produced his account of " Mrs. Granger's Eman-
cipated Costume " — chiefly_£Omposed of saw-
dust— as among the latest of the curiosities of
American life. But no one is likely to mistake
the point of that very incisive piece of satire,
•• The Spread of Eespectability," or of those
lighter thrusts at the eccentricities of our social
lystem, " A Natural Want," " Sosial Bandits,"
and "Food and Poison." There is here and
there in the book, as In the fivst-named of these
four papers, a trace of the savage irony of
Bwift, bat the general character of Mr. Alden's
linmor is more akin to the quaint and genial
drollery of Elia, reinforced by certain character-
istically American qualities of dash, daring, and
inventiveness. In addition to forming a valua-
ble contribution to the satirical literature of our
country, these essays fulfill the very desirable
function of showing that there may be a type of
fun distinctively American -without the aid of gro-
tesque exaggeration or idiotic spelling. Between
the racy and natural dialect of the Bigtow
PUptrt, or even the eccentric orthography of
JirtOMua Ward, and some of our later produc-
tions of a presumably hnmorouscharacter, there
Is a,dreary Interval, cbiefiy marked by succes-
sive stages of degradation and decay. We
think that no appreciative admirer of ISi. Alden
-win be content to expect anything less from
Him than the beginning of a new oyde of the
literature of American humor. There is
enough latent, as well as active, force mani-
fested in these papers to warrant us in looking,
from their author, for some work which shall
■ecure for him a still wider public and a more
genets] acknowledgement of the quality of
gifts which are as raru as they are wisely and
tnteUigently exercised.

Charlie, tiie husband, is a handsome man of 30,
who distioguiabea himself on all occasiona for
'vant of tact, and brings humiliation -npon the
head of bis fond wife by doing and saying the
wrong thins on all occasions. Jack, a friend of
Charlies then comes in and admires the wfte, who
tells the story In the first person. When the
neighbors begin to talk scandal a younger sister
of the -wife arrives, and Jack falls in love -with
her, according to the progranuue pte'vaou3ly
marked out by the host and hostess. But then
comes the hitch in the course of true love. Idna,
tiie besntifal sister, has engaged herseU! to a rich
and ancient swain of distinguished appearance,
manners, and wealth, named St. Olave. This
■***>«■ a delightful agony in the heart of
Idna when she diseovelts that she loves Jack
deeply, passionately, that in him she has discov-

— ^The treatise on Ethics by Edith Sim-

"unattached" moralist, and "looks on man as
only the chief and most Intarestlng among the many
marvelous products of natural evolution." "as part
of the natural order wherein he lives." She seeks to
rest morality upon a broader basis than utilitarian-
ism, upon ,what is real and permanent in human
nature. The work Is an attempt to reconcile the
numeroos conflicting vie-Rrs of moral science put
forth by modem thinkers -with a wider interpretation
of natural law as seen In society, and as the growth
of human beliefs, and If the views stated do not meet
with general acceptance, they are certain to stimu-
late thought. It is a remarkable essay under any
dxcumstances, and still more remarkable from the
fact that a Tfoman -mote it. Miss Simcox has writ-
ten frequently upon social and moral subjects in the
Fortnightly Serieu! and the Academy, but this Is the
most considerable work she has published.

TWO MFS AND A BEAR.
The Charlottetown (Prince Edward's Island)
Herald relates the following "bear story:" "On
Thursdayilast ayoong man named McDonald, be*
longing to Gay's River, had a narrow escape from be.
ing devoured by a bear in the woods near his home.
He was walking through the woods, when he heard a
rustling sound behind him. Taming around he saw
a large-sized she bear coming toward him. He had
just time to spring for the nearest tree and cUmb up
It. The bear sprang at him, and catching one of his
feet with her paw. tore otT the shoe and stocking and
badly lacerated the flesh. McDonald managed to crawl
out on a limb, wliither the bear atteuipt«d to follow,
but thelirab was too narrow.- Foiled of its prey, the
bear tore savagely at the bark on tho linib, while
McDonald, holding on by his hands, screamed lustily
for help. A man near by, hearing his cries, ap-
£rofiched just as the bear dropped from the tree,
[c Donald called out to the new-comer to look out
fur the bear, and at that moment the savage animal
mshe<l at the man. who nimbly climbed Into the
same tree, followed by the bear. The new comer's
oulr safety was to get out on the same limb as
McDonald, and the bear, too, crawled ont. Under
the weight the limb broke, and bear and men fell a
distance of some 20 feet. Fortunately, the bear was
stunned by the fall, and the men. though badly
shaken, were able to get away. Obtaining arms,
.Which they were entirely without, they returned to
the place, but the bear coaM not be fomid."
TBBEARLY ADAMSES ASOFFIOE-BOLDBRS.
The Boston Olobeat Tuesday says : " It seems
that the Adams family have al-ways been distinguished
for their ability in holding ofBce. The andent
records of the Town of Braintree, Mass., show that
Deacon John Adams, the father of John Adams, the
second Freaident of the United States, was in 1722
made Sealer of Leather of the Town of Braintree ;
and the records further show that he was ■ eminently
suited for his duties, beii^ by occupation a cord-
wainer,' or shoemaker, in 1724 he was one of
the tytbing men^ hi 1727 he was chosen con.
stablft Later on in life he was made
Selectman, and hold the place for several yeoi-s.
These interesting facts are from on address made by
Hon. F. A. Holjart, of Braintree, at the centennial
celebration of that town, in which he traced the bis.
tory of Braintree and her citizens in an exoeedingly
interesting and thorou^ manner. From that time
to the present the deacendents of John Adams have
held oSce -with more or lets regnlaritv. Veiy few of
the common people are aware, probably, that the
members of this iUastrions family daaoendad from a
shoemaker, or that they began oSoe-holding so tar
back in the history af the montty and tha Uatorr of
thafanar."

ABLE BILL OF SAlis.
Surrogate Calvin yesterday entered a decision
la the case of the applicatJOQ of Faimy Dougherty, a
creditor of the late Randolph A. Witthans, a wealthy
merchant, who died Intestate, for letters of adminis-
tiation. The applicatiop was made by the applicant
because of the tidliue of the widow of the deceased
to apply. In her applicatibn the creditor placed the
deceased's personality at ^50,000, to which sum the
widow, Marie Witthans, objected, daiming that it
was only ^1,000. The creditor in turn objected and
carried the matter before a Referee. In the examina-
tion by the latter, Mrs. Witthans testified that the
residenoe of the deceased was sold last year for a
debt due to the ; deceased's son, Dr. 'Witthans, on a
billofsale. 'I, j ,'i,
Dr. 'Witthans testlfled ' ibat he had paid for oU the
furniture and the works of art in his father's resi.
dence to the amount of 924,000, and that he owed
the deceased nothing at the time of bis death. He
further testified that tho amount was poid byre.
leasing his rather from a debt of the same amount
representing the interest on $60,000 from Aug. 30.
1871. This $G0.000 wosto bo paid for the surrender
of an agreement between the deceased and himself,
according to the terms of which deceased was to be
indebted to witness for $60,000 from April, 1867,
the agreement setting forth that the -witness should
aid the deceased in the management of the letter's
real estate as long as he might desire. This aid the
witness sold he had given iu the Fall of 1867 and
Spring of 1872, but the deceased had never paid any
money on account of the agreement, nor had he
overpaid anything on the S60,000 until Septem.
her, 1876.
liie Surrogate, in hit decision, savs that a serious
question ipay arise as to the bona fides and validity
of the bill of sal^in question, andhe regardsit. on tiie
evidence adduced before the Iteferee, to be the duty
of the representative of the estate when appointed
in the interest of the creditors, to test the validity

consideration, astbe trans^rwas very onsaxisfoctory
and suspicious. The sect rity to be given by the
Administrator, should letters lesue. he decides shonld

day rendered a ^ecision In the case of Edward Diis-
coll, who was recently arrested for disposing of 11
unstamped packages of Scotch snuff in exchange for

Botty. who had filed an appeal in the case, moved
yesterday, before Jud^e Liarremore. in Common

holding that a return could not be enforced.

day held an examination la the case of Peter Mullen,
the second steward of the steamer Clyde, who was
arrested on Tuesday last while conveying three bun-
dles containing 100 packsges of cigarettes from the
ship. Mr. Palmer, the Custom-house employe, who
the prisoner Stated had given him permission to take
the cigarettes ashore, testified that he had given
Mullen permission to take a single small bundle only.
He could not say. however, that he had any right to
give the permission, although it was somethine fre-
quently done. Mullen was then held to awut the
action of the Grand Jury.

J. BXTRQLAR SENT TO STATE PRISON,
Daniel Brown, alias Daniel Wolff, aliaa James
Walker, one of the most notorious burglars and ex-
pert lock-fitters in the City, known to the Police as
^' French Loois," was placed at the bar of the -Court
of General Sessions yesterday, three indictments for
burglary and grand larceny having been found against
him. Bip^m, who is 42 years of ^ge, has been neariy
iJl his life engaged either In planning or perpetrating
burglaries: outlaid hispians so cleverly that, ol-
thon£n arrest«d several tunes, he always escaped im-
prisonxnent. On the afternoon of Sunday, Joiy 15,
however, he was caught in the conimission of a crime
which has sent him to State Prison. Detective Martin
Handy, of the Filth Precinct, saw him enter the
wholeule linen warehouse of Scott Brotfa^, Koa.
27 and 29 White-street, and lay In wait for him.
When he left the store Handy arrested him — ^not,
however, without oonaidormble resistance— and took
him to the statiou-house. Brown had on an over-
coat, beneath which he had secreted twopieceaof
liztca TdsMi ftt 976. i&hUDoek«ttTais£ouii4kf;v
which opened all the locks of the store. The
intruder had packed up a large qnuttlty of ehoie*
goodo, which he evidently intended removing after
dark. After the arrest of " French Louis ''^It was
found that he had visited the store of Scott Brothers
•ad stolen goods on two previous occasions, and
had also entered the store of Wilmerdlng A Co., No.
56 Leonard-street. He rarely, If ever, entered prem-
ises by breaking them open, his plan being to vlfit the
store* which he intended Tobbtnc, taking impreecionji
of the keys and making dnpIicaCes. On being called
up for trial by Assistant District Attorney Herring.
" French Louis" pleaded gttilty to buiglary in the
third d^ree. and begged for clMnency on the ground
of ill-health. Judge Sutherluid sentenced him to
three years and three months in State Prison.
TSE LIBELING OF THE BABK NEWTORK.
In the United States District Court yesterday.
Judge Blatchf ord rendered a decision in tha case of
the recent libeling of the bark New- York for demar-
rage and freight money. This vessel was chartered
on Nov. 3, 1871, by the Pensacola Lumber Com-
pany to take a cargo of lumber from Escambia Bay
to New-York at the rate of $12 per 1.000 feet, the
vass^ to be loaded wiOi a full cargo at the rate of X5,-
000 feet per working-day. The company was further
to pay 10 cents demurrage per ton a day for every
day she was detained beyond a certain time. She
was detained 10 days, the freight money upon the
delivery of her c&rgo In New-York amounting to
$2,920 60. A demurrage of $463 10 was chiimed
for the delav, but the company refused to pay more
than $2,5O0 for both freight and demurrage, at the
some time setting up a counterclaim for $1,440 for
80, 000 feet of lumber delivered to the bark, but
which was lost during heavy weather, for which, by
her charter, the bark was responsible. Judge
Blatchford allows $336 demurrage for drlay in load-
ing tbe vessel, and orders a decree for the balance of
the charter money for freight, $420 60, with inter-
est from Feb. 23, 1872.
ASSAVLTINO BIS STEPDA^isTBR.
Joseph Monoh an, aged 34, of No. 511 West
Thirty-eighth-street, yesterday morning attempted
to beat his wife, when his step-daughter, Mary
Leahey, interfered and prevented him. Thereupon
he turned on the young giri and assaulted her, knock-
ing her down, beating her. kicking her, and stabbing
her with a knife tn the neck. OfUcw Dooohue, of
the Twentieth Precinct, heard the girl's screams, and
come in just in time, perhaps, to save her life. The
officer took Monohan into custody and brought him
before Justice Wandell. during the morning session
of Jefferson Market Police Court, who coouaitted
him for trial in default of $300 bail

THE ItVSKJAN GRAIN TRA-TtE.
The Gazette de ^St. Petersburg gives the follow-
ing details of the conference lately t^tmunoued by the
Russian ijovcmment furthe purpose of considering —
first the quantity of cereals which Russia on an aver-
age year would be able to export ; second, the mode
in which that export could be effected now tliat the
southern ports have been blockaded, and also in the
event of the blockade extending to all the ports of
tbe Empire. The conference was ationded by dele-
gates from the chief railwav companies, assisted by
[►ersons intimately connected with the groin trade,
and from the proceedings it appears that the average
export of grain has risen within the past three vears
to about 143.000,000 .bushels. The shipments
from the Black Sea and the Sea of Azof.
with thp exception of the i>orts of
Kertch. and Eish, amount on an average to about
62.0tK), 000 bushels; and as tliis year only 12.000.-
000 were exported, it is calculated that about 50.-
OOO.tKK) bnsliels remain in the southern provinces,
to be transported by rail either to the northern ports
or to frontier towns. The capacity of the railway
system to overtake, this increased traffic was the
subject of much consideration by the conference,
and ultimately a table waa drawn up showing the
numbers of trains which would require to be dis-
patched daily on each of tbe Hues, so as to meet the
demands for transport. From this it appears that if
the export is not to be delayed, the number of trains
per dav on the principal lines must be increased
from about 130 to 190, and it remauis to be seen
whether, when the resources of the companies are so
greatly taxed by the war traffic, so much additional
work can be got through.
TAXING PRIVATE LIBRARIES.
The Columbus .ffngwirer says that " Rev. Dr.
W- P. Harrison has writen a letter to Hon. W. M.
Reese, Chairman of the Georgia Senate Committee
on Finance, in which he complains that the General
Assembly has ordered a tax to be levied on books In
private libraries, and this is the first instance within
his experience of an attempt to levv a tax on knowl-
edge. He saj-3 that in the course ol: 27 vears he has
collected a libraiy of 4,000 volumes, which cost him
over $11,000. Many of the books are valuable on
account of their rarity. Perhaps two-thirds of them
can only be obtained by patient search from year to
year in the markets of Europe. He has some books
over 400 years old. For one series he had an
order in I/ondon which required seven years
to fill, and another is now outstanding for more thau
10 years. He asks how he can tell the market value
of these old tomes, as tho law requires the tax-
payer to do with other property. "What is the
market value of on idea i ' Has the Legislature de-
vised an ideameter for the public and private use of
the tax-payers ? ' he ask-s. ' If, ' he odds, ' I return
them at their real value. I must assess myself the
sum of $247 50 per annum for the State', county
and city tax, which in my case amounts to a fine, a
penaltv imposed upon me by my State for indulging
m- the luxury of a well-selected library.' He states
that a tax on private libraries is a crusade against
literature and that the Congress of the Unitea
States admits duly free all books over 20 years old."
SALE OF AUTOGRAPHS AND RELICS.
The London Figaro of 'July 28, says: *' An
interesting collection of autograph letters and origi-
nal manuscripts was recently sold by auction by
Messrs. Puttick & Simpson, at their gallery. Leices-
t-er-square. Tho principal specimens realized high
prices, the net product of the sale of *2'J0 lots being
i:S03 9s. The best prices were obtained for some
examples of the poet Shelley's correspondence and
autogr^h poems. A letter. In which he refers to
Byron, Wordswortli. Leigh Hunt, and Southoy.
and also to a personal attack upon his ch.iracter
by the latter, was knocked down for Je43.
Several of Charles Lamb's letters were snb-
mitted, and realized on an avera^ about £3 lOs.
each. A letter written by tbe Prime Minister, ap-
parently to his printer, in 1S28. wasbidfornp to £4,
and a letter addressed to the editor of aLondon paper
by Napoleon III., when in exile, fetched, together
with its frame, SOs. A good deal of Interest was ex-
cited by the production of a lock of Charles l.'s hair
and a portion of his beard, taken, it was 8t&t«d. when
the coffin was opened by order of the Princ« Recent,
in 1813, and the trophy was ultimately knocked
down at the flguru of £7 lOs. Another novelty in
its way was a donimeut siffned by Thoaios Dog^ett,
of ' Coat and Badge ' celebrity, witli the rare signa-
ture of *Joe Miller attached to the same as a witness ;
the lot realized, however, only 35s."
NORTHERN AID TO SOUTHERN SCHOOLS.
The KnoinUoJTenn.) Chronicle says : **A
very large prt>portlon of the money spent in the
South since tbe late war for educational purposes has
been obtained from the GoyemmLent and citizens of
the Northern States. The disbursements in Ten-
nessee from that source have reached millions. The
splendid Vonderbilt University has received a mil-
lion. East Tennessee University has received nearly
$400,000 from the Government. The University of
the Sontii. at Sewauee. has received substantial aid.
Rogersvillo Female CoUejce was saved from bank-
ruptcy by Yankee liberality. MaryvlUe College has
received thousands. The Wesleyan College, at
Athens, has lived through the Ubeiility of Northern
men imd women, and u now In a very prosperous
condition. Besides these, thousands have been spent
for colored BCfaools and colleges. Add to this the
thousands of children who have enjoyed the benefits
of a primary education tiirough the princely benevo-
lence of Mr. Peaoody. And yet, a^«r receiving fdl
these favors, we see in South Carolina, and Teuues-
see as welt a narrow and most unnatural prejudice
against Northern teacheta."
LYNN'S 8B0S BUSINESS,
Speaking of Lynn's Summer bnajnesa, the
Bocton Camnunial BaBetin says : " Hovavw zonch
mar btaidd about tha shoe haslAiM bedaff dvU or de-
pressed, the fact remahu, neresthelett, tha^ I^iu
has during the past three months ahipped mo» goods
than last year in the eozrasponding time. Hia ahip-
ments in Mmj, June, and July of 1876 aggregate'
37,641 cases, against 39.042 eases the present year,
a p*n of 1,401 cases. Mannfoctuzers may eom-
plidn of small margins and that there u *ao
money in the buslneas,' 4tc, bo^ tbe fact
is more shoes are being made and goiqig into
consumption tliis year than last at the time time.
The Fall tmde began uuu8u«.lly early iu the year,
and at present nearly all the manufacturers are at
work, with but little shoe machinery and few work-
men idle. At present Lynn manufacturers are mak-
ing about one-quarter of all the sewed work In the
United States, and Lynn ranks as the fifth city in
llassachu-setts in the amount of its productions of
all kinds of goods, turning out two^ thirds as mn^ as
Lowell, and nearly as much as Tail River, amount-
ing to about $21,000,000 annuatlv. There are
nearly 200 montifacturers, including KTeat and
small, who employ on an average about 7,000 hands
in all the different departments, at an <mn^7>1 cost
of from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000 for labor.
Last Spring the volume of trade was fully up to
the aggregate of several preceding yesEra, and, with
few exceptions, there is a hopeful feeling and general
satisfaction with the condition of the shoe trade un-
der the circumstances. There have been no labor
troubles of any account for a long time, the Criipins
and manufacturers having arrived at a satisfactory
solution of once existing troubles, and. to all outward
appearance, i>erfect harmony now exists. The work-
men understand the situation, and are contented. In
the line of 'leather small wares.' ^iz., soles, stiffen-
ings. counters, laet.s, patterns, &c-. with the
great morocco and leather interesto, there is the usual
amount doing, and though the cry is * business is
dull,' 'nothing doing.' the facts do not warrant the
statements, especially tho last, when a manufacturer
shows you over his factory and tells you be is em-
ploying 200 hands, and sdll tells you he is ' doing
nothing. ' "

The "War Department is surprised at tlie
V-laim presented by the Baltimore and Ohio
Kailroad Company for transportation of
Pederal troops from Washington to various
threatened points along their line. The
TiVar Department evidently fails to appre-
ciate the logic of the situation. The Balti-
more and Ohio Kailroad, like any other
corporation, is entitled to have its prop-
erty and its business protected by State
or local authorities against destructive at-
tack. But in Maryland and "West Virginia
"both local and Stat« authorities confessed
their inability to enforce the laws against
the assailants of the corporation, and ap-
pealed to the Federal Government for aid.
UTiis was given, simply becausCi there was
"no other power to enforce law and order in
these States, and because in such a case
the Federal arm is the last bulwark of so-
cial security. The railroad company has
the right, which it will doubtless exercise,
to compel the county or State Treasuries to
make good the property destroyed by
■rioters, and it has an eqiial right to
charge the Federal Government for the
conveyance of troops which, though nomi-
nally engaged in the service of the railroad,
"Were really engaged in the service of the
fitate. It is probable that whenif;he matter
'■comes before the Cabinet it wilt see the ne-
cessity, not of disputing a claim for the
■transportation of Federal troops^ but of sub-
jecting corporations like the Bailtimore and
Ohio Bailroad to the regulation of Federal
law. The existence of rights without any
corresponding responsibilities ffl the only
anoj.naly in the claim wiich has somewhat
surprised the War Department.
' F. "W. M. HoLLiDAY was nominated for
viovemor by the Virginia Democrats, yes-
terday, after a prolonged and, bitter con-
test. The withdrawal of Mahone brought
about this conclusion, as : Mahone's
strength chiefly went to the siieeessfal
can('ddate. Hoixiday is an ex-Confeder-
ate , Colonel, and was urged in the
corrvention as a representative Of the Shen-
andoah Valley ; he is a resident of Winches-
tear. He has been accused of being in a
cabal to destroy Daniel, and he undoubted-
ly owes his nomination to the strength of
|t'ne anti-Daniel feeling which gathered dur-
^gthe convention. Holliday was third
in every ballot except that which gave him
Ills nouiination.
A,series of reports has been made public
by the Treasury Department relating to the
operation of its regulations as to the draw-
back on refined sugar. From these it has
lor some time been suspected that the
Government was losing revenue — i. e.,
Hhat the drawback allowed was in
excess of the duty originally received
on the raw material. The tenor of
the conclusions of the various "committees
appeaors to be against this view of the mat-
ter. The Boston committee, however,
point out some important effects of the pres-
ent provisions of law upon the sugar trade
aa;well as upon the revenue, and indicate
one of the most serioi^s difficulties in the
administration of the law as it stands, viz :
the introduction of sugar artificially col-
ored to make it pass as of a
lowergrade than it actually is. The com-
mittee recommend thetotal abandonment
of tbe Dutch Standard, and the imposition
of ib uniform rate of duty upon refined and
of another ui>on raw sugars. This is a plan
which has many advocates among mer-
cb.ants, and which would secure some de-
cided ad-rantages — among others, a nm-
f orm tax at all porta, which isnowpraotical-
\y unattadnable.

SOU'^HERS CREDIT.
Whether Virginia commit itself directly
to a forced readjustment that woul 1 be tan-
tamount to repudiation or not, tie exist-
ence of V powerful element f avora )le to re-
pudiation cannotj be questioned, "he more
Mahone's enemies succeed in bl tokening
his character an4 the characters of his most
active supporters in the State Convention,
the more damaging is the conclusion sug-
gested by his strength among the delegates.
If the man is obnoxious and the manner in
which he conducted his prelimin iry can-
vass HainngiT^g to himself and hii friends,
we can only assume that he owes h is admit
ted influence to the position he has taken in
regard to the State debt. Other ca udidates
Mahone
was neither. . He holds that the S ate can-
not pay the interest or principal of its debt
without imposing heavier taxes t iian the
people can or wiU pay — and he 6 lid so in
terms that could not be mistal en. He
maintains that as between the 6 tate and
its creditors there can be no cho ce — that
the latter must submit to any t< rms the
State chooses to dictate or lose every-
thing ; and he so declared wii h great
emphasis. He insists that, ' rith or
without the consent of the credi ors, the
State debt shall be "scaled " a secc ud time,
and he staked his candidature u )on this
proposition. Here, then, is the so e source
of Mahone's popularity. He is not absolute
master of the situation, as the lalloting
proved ; but it also proved tha on his
actual merits, no candidate had gi aater in-
dividual strength, that the coaliti, n which
defeated him wjas governed mort by per-
sonal animosityl than by hostility to the
measure with which he is identif od, and
that his supporters dictated, at the '. ist, who
should be the nominee of the Conv ntion.
It cannot reasonably be pretendec that the
convention, oreven a majority of its e embers,
are sincerely desirous of fulfilling h )norably
the financial obligations of the State, The As-
sociated Press report of the prooec lings on
Thursday, speaking of the receptioi of reso-
lutions relating to the public debt, at ites that
though a majority of the resolutions f&vored
payment, " every proposition looki ig to in-
creased taxation was received wi h hisses
from all parts of the house." Wh it could
be more suggestive f Mahone's oi tspoken
repudiation is put into the backgro md, and
a hollow semblance of good faith takes its
place. Nothing worth having is g lined by
the movement. The blunt repud ator we
can understand. The . treacherou i policy
which affects a regard for the mail tenance
of the State's credit, but at the ss me time
time rejects the only means by wl ich that
credit can be maintained, is infinit sly more
contemptible. People who are hor estly in-
tent upon paying their debts are not un-
willing to make Sacrifices. The fac t that in
an assembly representing all pari s of the
State a proposal to impose taxes for the pay-
ment of the State's debts is rece ved, all
round, with Kisses, is the best con: mentary
nx>On the financial morality t3at prevails
among the people.
Virginia does but adopt in this p irticular
a favorite Southern method of ace >mpUsh-
ing a digraceful ^purpose in an indirect
way. The spirit that prevails in Ti ^nnessee
is contagions. There, as in Virgin ia, there
are bold repudiators, who having di iven the
State creditors into a comer by i he non-
payment of interest, tell them pla nly that
they must forfeit 50 or 60 percent of their
claims or be left to their fate. Th ere, too,
as in "Vii^nia, thare are tricksters a id hypo-
crites, who proiess to deprecate repudia-
tion, but so cut down the taxatic u as to
make that result inevitable. Of die two
nlflgnnn of knaves ve nre&r the Uai longiteg.
who at any rate do not pretend to be more
honest than they ate. .
The Georgia Constitutional Convention
has thrown its influence into the scale of
repudiation by declaring certain issues of
bonds illegal, and forbidding, not only 'their,
payment, bat any admission of their holders'
claims to the courts. The convention does
but carry out the recorded will of the people,
as expressed recently at the polls. Its ac-
tion shows, however, that a thoroughly rep^
resentative body — a body inoluding all the
principal men of the State — sustains, almost
as a^unit, the infamous decision of the
voters. The bonds are as valid, according
to equity anil^^e letter of the law, as most
of the bonds that are still recognized ; the
proceeds of their negotiation were expended
in works from which, to-day, the State and
its people derive profit ; but they are never-
theless repudiated, and the victimized
owners a^e denied the poor satisfaction *of
establishing their claims. All sorts of
trumpery excuses have been put forward in
justification of a proceeding which stamps
Georgia with financial infamy. Mr. Toombs
will have none of these excuses. He de-
clares that the bonds are rejected because
they Were issued during the reconstruction
era, when Bepublicans ruled ; and ToouBS,
with all his faults, tells the truth. His ver-
sion of the case will not help Southern
credit.
.-CURRENCY MOVEMENTS.
The act of June 20, 1874, gave the na-
tional banks permission to deposit bonds
and withdraw circulation ; the act of Jan,
14, 1875, known as the Resumption act,
removed all restrictions upon the maximum
of bank circulation, and provided that, until
the legal tenders became reduced to $300,-
000,000, $80 of them should be with-
drawn and canceledfor every $100 of addi-
tional bank-note circulation issued. The
unlimited permission to siirrender notes has
now been in force three years and a month,
and the unlimited permission to emit new
notes has been in force two years and seven
months. The following is a comijlete state-
ment of operations under the two acts down
to the beginning of the present month :

Daring the seven months intervening be-
twe 3n : tt e passage of the two acts, there
a ne^ increase in bank circulation at
rate pf $281,038 a month ; in the next
the decline was about $803,000 a

rate of $739,346 a month ; during
last SIX months, at the rate of $615,973
The legal-tender retirement since
1875, has been at the rate of
about $763,000 a month. The total (not
retirements of bai}k currency up to
1^ the last date reported, were $51,-
,319, of which $37,000^000 came in

The legal-tender movement is of
paratively slight significance, because

hehc^ has no direct relation to the net
or decrease either of that curreney

year ending August 1, the legal-

operations of the Resumption act, and, as

We have made this minute review and
these comparisons, thinking it well to have
a complete record at the present time. To
explain again the simple reasons for this
voluntary contraction at the rate of nearly
$20,000,000 a year is surely unnecessary.
A contraction of nearly $23,000,000 in
the legal tenders, in the opinion of Mr.
Henry C'AEEr B.ubd, is a dreadful thing,
and was the cause of railroad extension
that iwas effected before the contraction be-
gan ; but, in place of this, $22,905,780
retired under the act of Jan. 14, 1875,
$28,632,225 of bank notes were emitted,
and yet the voluntary contracting forces
were so strong that during the whole term
$34,^57,344 more notes came in than
went out. It is evident from the last pre-
ceding table that there has been an exces-
sive supply of currency, even in the infla-
tionist States of the West; and yet the
genuine inflationist will continue to abuse
the banks and to be in love with the green-
back because it is not subject to contrac-
tion like the bank note, but once out, stays
out, except when taxes bring it in.
COMIC POLITICS IN FRANCE.
The Marshal-President of France is un-
doubtedly a gallant gentleman and a brave
soldier. ■ But if he is responsible for the re-
cent arbitrarj- acts of his Government, he is
in a fair way to deserve the epithet which
the 1' American spy," Mr. Biuo.\r, lately
bestd^red upon him. Biqoar, it may be
reeolli?cted, said that JIc>L\hon was an ass.
The charge was so unexpected, and so ap-
parently undeserved, that it might have
passed unnoticed. It was at once dignified
by the arrest of Biqgab. It assumed
international importance when it was
gravely announced that Biggar 'was an
jVmerican spy, and that the American
ChargS d' Affaires at Paris had sent coun-
sel to see that he had fair play. In this in-
stanot , of course, Bigg.4.r vvill be precluded
from attempting to clear himself by proving
that MacMauok is an ass. It is a case in
which the old maxim, "the greater the
truth,! the greater the libel," will surely be
quoted. Bigoar, when brought to book,
must content himself with declaring that
he ha 1 drank more Burgimdy than was dis-
creet:
and that his inebriated tongue had
run a.way with his better judgment.
Meantime, somebody in the MacMahon
Government is attempting to create an im-
pression that the Marshal-President is all
that Biqoar in his cups has charged him
with il eing. The list of prohibitions and
8uppri!Ssions ordered by the French Gov-
ernment is long and ludicrous. It is ludi-
crous because it shows such an unprece-
denteidjand childish weakness. It is not
only Mrs. Partington sweeping back the
waves of the Atlantic with a two-penny
broom. It is an advertisement of the
attractiveness of the Republic. Nothing is
ever I so desirable as the forbidden. A
naughty book in England was like to die of
inanit ion until its authors were prosecuted
for ciiculating obscenity. Then tlie banned
publication «old into the hundreds of thou-
sandi. The MacMahon Government think
to stamp* out Republicanism in France by
puttihgl newspapers and portraits under tlic
taboo. I Fi-enchmen run after that which is
secret and Ulicit. If they have nothing to
conspirla against, they meet in dark cellars,
drinlE liloo 1-red wine, lift their haiuls aud
swear hor-ibly, though nothing may ever
come! of it. The prohibitions will only pop-
ularize the things prohibited.
The list i 3 quite novel.' Seven or eight Re-

the tiiiiis are very much out of joint.
The heij ;ht of absurdity seems to have
been reiched, however, when Marshal Mac-
Mahon'^ Government attempts to regulate
the plotograjih business. It is forbidden
to sel. j ph )tographs of M. Thiers, on the
streets of I'ailis. But, on the other hand,
80,00 OJ pcpieis of equestrian pictures of
Marshiil M. lc^kIahon are to be distributed in
the proyip( es. This is the way in which
the present Administration conducts a poli-
tieal canvass. The face of M. Thiers,
who is just now a representative Re-
publican, has been aptly caricatured
by the Kladderadatsch, a German comic
saner. Ha ia reornsAnted as a amnll

man, -with a bald head, Boman nose,
and twinkling eyes, and' wearing that
variety of eye-glasses i>opnlaTly known as
gig-lamps. 'Why the circulation of photo-
graphs of this amiable, fussy, and bald-
headed old gentleman should be dangerons
to the State no man outside of France can
possibly imagine. Yet the MacMahon Gov-
ernment has suppressed the sale of the
son-pictures of the little old man. Yet
Marshal MaCMahok, in spite of Biogar, may
not be an ass.
Mr. Caleb Ccshino, in moments of indi-
gestion and gloom, used to warn us against
the "man on horseback." In France, ao-
cording to late reports, the horseman has
come. He prohibits the sale of newspapers ,
orders what shall be printed — his own
speeches — ^regulates the sale of photographs,
shuts up the clubs, and drags men to the
criminal courts for oiticising his actions. The
French people look on and laugh. There
was a time when they would have had a rev-
olution, and the streets would have run with
blood. 'Who shall say that the times and
the manners have not changed ? MacMa-
hon and De Broglie may possibly think
that they can carry an election by such
petty tactics as these. In default of polit-
ical principles, they are attempting the old,
old game of suppression, muzzling, and pro-
hibition. It is too late. MacMahon may
not be an ass, as the malevolent Bigoar
said he was, but he is evidently an anachron-
ism.
TBE SOCRATIC SMALL EOT.
As every one knows who knows anything
of the tricks and manners of Socrates,
that respectable philosopher never con-
versed except by asking questions. If he
wanted to express the opinion that Xax-
TIPPE had put too much lard in the pie-
crust, he would begin by propounding to
her a series of seemingly irrelevant ques-
tions, with the view of ultimately leading
her into an inadvertent admission of the
evils of excessive lard. His famous con-
versation with Alcibiades, in the course of
which he convinced the latter of the non-
existence of his dog, furnishes a fair ex-
ample of what we have come to call the
Soeratie method ; and, as the dialogue has
never been translated into English, a brief
extract from it' will not be out of place here.
S. — They tell me, O Alcibiades, that
you have cut off your dog's taiL
A. — It is true, O Socrates. I did it with
my little battle-axe.
S. — What is a dog f Is it not an animal
with four legs and a tail t
A. — You say truly.
S. — Then your dog is not a dog, for it is
an animal w^ith four legs, yet without a
Uil.
A. — I see that I must admit it.
S. — But you will also admit that neither
among Greeks, nor yet among barbarians,
is there any animal which, having four legs,
has no tail.
A. — Again thou sayest what nobody
deniges of.
S. — How then can you claim that you
have the verj- animal which does not exist f
A. — By Zeus, I make no such claim,
r S.^Then you see you have no dog..
It was by this method of cross-questioning
that Socrates achieved a tremendous repu-
tion. It is to be regretted that in his
ter years he did not adhere to his early
ustom of always having three or four peo-
le about him whose business it was to ad-
mit everything. Unfortunately, he fell into
the habit of asking everybody questions, in
consequence of which his long-suffering M-
low-citizeus finally had to kill him.
The recent revival of the Soeratie method
by a Massachusetts small boy, who liad
never so much as heard of Socrates, and
the remarkable success that attended the
small boy's dialogue with his father,
Kev. Samuel Tarbox, of Goosebury, Mass.,
deserve to be commemorated in print. Mr.
Tarbox has been well known in Boston and
its vicinity for many years, and no one
doubts that he is one of the most faithful
and conscientious ministers of the orthodox
Congiegatioual denomination. Descended
from the Puritans, he has finnly kept
the faith once committed to those
particular saints, aud being fearless
and honest in the expression of
his views, he commands universal
respect. Mr. Tarbox, ha\Tng labored for
nearly twenty-five years, consented this Sum-
mer to take a three months' vacation, in-
cluding a trip to Europe. He therefore
ingaged passage on the steamer which
saik'd from this port last Saturday, and on
the preeci'ung Snjiday preached his last ser-
mon. He took for his text tho Fourth Com-
mandment as given in Exodus, and de-
nounced with the utmost severity the mod-
ern system of Sunday excursions. He, of
eouree, maintained that tho commandment
referred to Sunday, and that no man had a
right to' violate it, however pleasant
such a violation might temporarily
seem. He admitted that workmen
could not get into the country except on
Sunday, and he fully sj-ropathized with
their hard lot ; but ho unflinchingly main-
tained that they could not excuse a Sunday
pleasure excm-sion on the plea that Sunday
is their only holiday. It must be admitted
that from Rev. Mr. Tarbox's point of view
his argument was conclusive. As he justly
said, a man has no right to steal peaches
because he cannot buy them, and similarly
he has no right to go on a Sunday pleasure
excursion merely because he is a workman
who has no holiday except Sunday.
Now,-Mr. Tarbox owned a small boy of
unusual sharpness and of an inquiring turn
of mind. On Sunday evening this small
boy asked his father how much time a voy-
jige across the Atlantic required, and was
informed that the time varied from seven to
sixty-four days — the swiftest steamers some-
times making the voyage in the former
brief period, and the steamer Smidt gene-
rally requiring at least sixty -four days in
favorable weather. Whereupon the follow-
ing conversation ensued :
S. B. — You will then beat sea on Sunday.
T. — ^Yes, my son ; I shall certainly spend
a Sabbath on the great deep.^
S. B. — ^Will the ship stop on Sunday f
"T. — Of course not.
S. B. — Then won't you be traveling on
Sunday ?
T. — ^Well, yes, I suppose so.
S. B. — ^But why if it is wrong for people
to travel on Sunday steam-boats, is it right
for you to travel on a steam-ship on Simday f
T. — Because I cannot cross the ocean
-without 80 doing.
S. B. — ^Yoa said tkat oeocle mtst not .so
sL
on Simday exetirsion steam-boats, ev^n if
they could not have any other holiday, but
that they should stay at home. Could you
not stay at home T
T. — I suppose I eouid.
S. B. — ^Is your journey to Kuropo a work
of necessity or mercy f
T.— Not precisely.
S. B. — Then, if you go on a pleasure ex-
cursion on Saturday's steamer, and travel
all day Sunday, what is the 4jff6rence be-
tween your act and that of uie workman
who goes on a Sunday pleasure excursion I
T. — ^My son, you will now go to bed, and at
7 o'clock to-morrow morning I will hold an
interview with you in the woodshed.
Having thus rid himself of his small boy,
the good Mr.. Tarbox tried to rid himself of
that unpleasant boy's suggestions. The
efEort was a failure. The more he reflected
upon what he had said in his sermon the
more plainly he perceived that it fully ap-
plied to himself and his intended sea voy-
age. It was perfectly true that he could
not cross the Atlantic without traveling on
Sunday, and that he could not honestly
eallliis intended voyage a work of neces-
sity or mercy. It was quite as possible for
him to sta^ at home all Simmier in
his comfortable parsonage as it was
for the workmen to stay at home
every Sundav in their hot tenement
houses. The good man had set his heart on
going to Europe, but he had long before
set his heart on doing right. He felt that
he must either give up his voyage or give up
his opposition to Sunday excursions. In
such a dilemma he was not the man to hesi-
tate, and the only compromise which he
wo^ild make with his conscience was to defer-
a final decision until the morrow.
Early the next morning the small boy,
with his clothing carefully lined with shin-
gles, went to meet his stern father in the
woodshed. He foimd him with a serene
and peaceful expression of face. ,^**My
son," remarked the good man, "I have de-
cided not to chastise you, and not to go to
Europe. You need, therefore, have no fear
that your father will travel on Sunday."
This is why it happened that the list of
passengers by last Saturday's steamer did
not contain the name of Rev. Samuel
Tarbox. That conscientious minister sacri-
ficed his passage monej% and staid at hom«.
Later in the season he will pay a visit to the
sea-shore, and look longingly on that vast
ocean which his conscience forbids him to
cross. "We may not agree with him in his
strict Sabbattical views, but we m^ust all
honor his unswerving devotion to his
own convictions of duty. .Perhaps, if at
some future day a steamer is built which.
sailing on Monday, wjU cross the Atlantic in
six days, Bev. Mr. Tarbox will be one
of her passengers. Otherwise he will live
and die on this side of the Atlantic.
. It will, perhaps, please our readers to
know that the Soeratie small boy was drowned
three days after his conversation with his
father. May other small boys take warn-
ing, and avoid putting unpleasant questions
to their fathers, lest the latter should turn
again and rend them, and the Coroner's jury
should say that it served them right.

THE CEJ VIA UQ UA ASSEMBL K
LECTURE BY REV. JOSEPH COOK ON' GOD »
XATITRE'S LAW — BISHOP PECK ON* SCIENCE
AND THE SPIRIT WORLD — ^AN ADDRESS ON
THE SALVATION OF CHILDREN BY REV. T-
B. STEPHENSON, OF ENGLAND.
Fairpoint, N. Y., Aug. 10. — Eev. Joseph
Cook's lectures constitute the chief featuru ot
the Chautauqua Assembly at present. They
are to be continued during the week. At 11
o'clock this morning he addressed a very, larsre
audience on the ^hjeot of " God in Nature's
Law." He took the position that if matter is
essentially inert — that is. if it cannot originatd
force oj motion — every exhibition of force ot
motion in matter must originate in mind, mat-
ter being essentially inert : hence every exhibi-
tion of force or motion originates in mind.
God is therefore'omnipresent iu natural law.
since where. he acts, there he is.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon, after singing
by Mr. L. S. Young and the Apollo Club ol
New- York, Bishop Jes.sc- T. Peck, D. D.. of tho
Methodist Episcopal Church, lectured on " Sci-
ence and the Spirit World." The Bishop as-
sured the immense audieuce that Joseph Cook,
before he delivered his morning lecture had nc
acce-ss to his notes. It was no pleasant task to
follow such a Mississippi, a Niagara, and a£
earthquake, all in one. as Mr. Cook It had
been theboast of infidels that science would ul-
timately overthrow religion. The spirit world
was mentioned in distiixction from matter. Tht
speaker asked two questions — How far hac
science projected itself into the sphere of reve-
lation I and. What right has science to a nega-
tive beyond its own discovery ? Causation wat;
first treateiL Causes must exist before they
act. We cannot account for the reproduction
of species until we accotmt for the pro-
duction of the first species. Then a cause
must be where it operated. This caus-
ation comes from an infinite power,
which produces perfect adjustments of crea
tion. These adjustments are not the results ol
happening, Kags do not happen to get^inl-j
H:he white sheet, and the types do not happen
into pages, and happen io print Themselves
upon the paper: neither do flowers happen tc
gi'ow. The a'imirable and close adjustments of
nature are not the results of chance. Law is.
the same as the force, but is the agt*nt of power.
The Bishop wished to join his distinguished
friend, Mr. Cook, in putting an extinguisher on
this nonsense about the force of natural law.
The announcement of Moses that in thfr be-
ginning God created the heavens" "and
rhe earth is the easiest solution oi
the great question. The speaker then
proceeded to yrive -j. brief sketch of tbe history
of scientific thought, after which the tetjtimony
of Biblical writers was given. What man,
asked he, was ever equal to Moses, the grand
and towering leader of Lrael. who said. ** In the
Irtjginuing God created the heavens and th»;
earth," While Iloreb ,is a^ atlame with God
some men prefer to stay at the foot of the
mountain worshipping a l.'ttie calf.
At 6;45 o'clock this evening, in the Pavilion,
Rev.T.BowmanStC(henson.of London.Eupland,
the father of children's homes in Great Britain,
commenced his lecture by sayiug that if he did
ndt incorrectly read the signs of the times the
Chris-tiaii public of Amerir.-i would soon place
itstlf fat-e to face wnth the dithcult problem of
city vice and city pauperism, which had so
eenerally ilistressed the Old World. Ever since
the abolition of monasteries by Henry VIZI.,
there had existed in England a stratum of so-
ciety which had been the despair of the states-
man and the grief of the Christian ; but of those
in this class the children were the greatest suf-
ferers,from their circumstances, and were, there-
fore entitled to the tenderest pity. They wers
also the most hopeful element for the effort* of
the philanthropi:jt and Christian. If society
wras to be saved, the process of its salvation
must commence with the rescue of the children.
In England various agencies were at work for
this purpose : some wholly supplied by taxa-
tion, others entirely by private enterprise and
donations, and others still by a union of the
two. Tlie sneaker said be was convinced that,
for the Old World at least, the only hope lay iu
the union of volunteer labor and* State-action
for the rescue of the children of the streets.
3Ir. Stephenson gave a history of the childrep's

ner-road, eight years ago. and had develop*.^

Paine, Receiver of the Bond-Street Savings
Bank, recently sold, under order of the court,
certain real estate of the bank on Vanderbilt-j
avenue, Brooklvn. The property realized
$16,000. In lb73 the property was valued at
$tJ0,OOO, and the lowest estimate since placed
upon its value was $-tO.0lK>. Owing to these
facts, and the further fact that $20,000 was
offered for the property at private sale, the
Receiver, through counsel, moved before
Justice Landon that the report of sale
should not be confirmed, and that an order to
resell the property should be granted. Justice
Landon to-dav denied the motion.

taS RECEPTION IN THE LOTTER BAT AKD
[ ESCORT TO THE CITT — AN* EKTHUSIASTIC
I GREETING— SPEeA AT THE PIFTH-ATE-
i NtTE HOTEL IN THE EVEJnNG.
After a six weeks* risit abroad. Senator Conk-
iing retnraed borae yesterday, lookiiu; the better for
hta short trip, which seems at least to have giTen
him a much-oeeded rest He returned on the steam-
■faip Neckar. of the German line, and reached Sandy
Hook by 10 o'clock In the morning, when the pas-
•ezigers on board bad their first view of a clear sun.
The voj-aae, it seems, was not altogether pleasant,
the weather being rough aomowhat, and, when near
theUnd, fogs frequent and continuous. A small
party went down the bay to welcome the Senator on
hia retnm ; and a reception which at &crt was in-
tended to be a sort of semi-private affair, preparatory
so to speak to the formal serenade and inception in
the ev^in^. (jrew to be a pablic celebration of the
most^thosiafftie character. Congressman Starin had
been applied to the evening before for the use of the
imali boat H. M. Wells; bat he- would listen to no
representations on the subject, and insisted that the
powerful steamer Thomas Collyer, probably the
fastest boat on the waters of tlie bay,
should be sent to do honor to the occasion.
When the boat started from her pier atTwenty-
fonrtb-street, a little after S o'clock, the whole party
on board numbered less than 60, which, of course,
barely made more than a crew for so large a vessel.
This, however, was what had been intended, and It
was the part of wisdom to avoid having a crowd, for
the morning was sultry and hazj-. and iiad the decks
been filled '.nth such a throng as might have ea&ily
been gathered, there would have been no comfort for
any one. As it was, everybody was pleased, and the
boat started with the little party in the highest
spirits. Among those aboard were Mr. Cornell, Mar-
shal Parn, Postmaster James, Col. Howe, Congress-
man Stftrin, Silas B. Dutcher. Major Bullard, William
liaimbeer. Mr. Biirliu, Mr. Creagan, John O'Brien,
Hugh Gardner, Dwight Lawrence, and a delf^tion
of gentlemen from t'tica, headed by Dr. William H.
Watson.
It wns wnpt'rt.itu at tlie time of the start at what
hour the Xcckar would be met. or, indeed, whether it
would not be. as one of the crew expressed it, "'an
all day and all ni^ht job" to meet her ; but on steam-
ing np to the Hoboken dock a man standing there
waved his hnt and shoutud out lustily the welcome
Information that thi* steamer was telegraphed from
tHr© Island at S o'clock, and would pass th^ Hook at
10. TJie Collyer was h^a<ie<l for the Battery, some
more people were taken aboartl there, and then a
landm^ was m.ide at Governor's Island. Mr. Starin
and some other ^-ntlemen were not satisfie<l to have
the ud'air su '^uiet : they wanted some music aboard.
•' No dcad-aml-alive work. Sir." exclaimed Mr.
Starin: "we must have something to wake us up."
0»i. Howe jiud Deputy Marshal Creagan had a private
talk with Major Bush, commanding the post, and
the rt-sult of it wa:^ that in a short time the
post tfand c-'ime m-irrhing down to the Ijinding and
epe-niUy wei-e in place for work on tije upper
deck- ' The Collyer again returned to Hoboken
and tht-n to Twenty-fourth-street, mainly to
■while aw:iy the time : as* Mr. Starin remarked that
if thi^ lii.ai wt-nt do\vn right away and went outside
the H«jt>k, evt-rybody would be in the very reverse of
a receptive mofKl. the sea being mngh. Wfien tlie
proper moment came tlie Collyer steamed d"wn the
bay. a bright lookout t>eing kept through the fi^ for
the expt^fted arrival. Nothing was seen of the Neckar.
however, until ju.-it near the Hook. In a few moments
some one shouted ''Here she i.<. " and indeed the great
sleamer seemed almost oVfrtopping the boat. .She
Wiis running up aC nearly full speed. The Collyer
had not turned, anvl had U> rtin under the
stem <:f the Nerkar to do it. which.
of criurse. lost her considerable way, and
reduced a largo number of people on board to a state
of rranlic appreliension that they would have a tine
view of nothing but the stent of" the steam-ship for
the rest of the way home. The Captain of the Coll-
yer, however, knew diflerenily. He made the turn
BO -ihort that the starboard pattdle buried itself in the
wavt-s till the water ran over the guards ; then get-
ting into the course, lie put on steam and sent the
fcnat m^-ing througli the water till the luiws were m a
cloud-of foam. In five minutes the Collyer had over-
hauled the Nvckar. so that it was po.sail>le to distin-
puisii !ioine 'me standing on the bridge : in live min-
utes muff thi.s pt-Tson was .-^een to wave a small flag.
and tfavrt-" wt-nt an uncertain murmur thn>ngh the
eugt?r crowd arwund the- pilot-house ; another two
mijiut>'s, and tlie Collyer was on the Neckar's
quarter. ai;"i there Went up a shout. " Three
cheers for Senator Coiikling!" and they were
civfM with imnu*nse force and earnestness. The
S>enalur. bareheailed and smiling, replied with re-
peated huws and wavinin of the little silk flag.
Meanwhile the Collyer had whistled a shrill sereatm
of welcome, to whit'h trie Neekar's whistle returned
a hoarse roar. The ban^ struek up " Home Again."
and the liundreds of 'steerage passenKers on the
steam-ship s ducks, in their ignorance of Knglish and
<)f American way:<. supposed the whole entertain-
ment gt.ii up for their especial benefit, and made wild
demon:itnitiuns of appreciation.
This sort of thing continued until Quarantine was
reached, wliere the .Surveyor's boat (and Mr. Mur-
phy) was in waiting, and saluted with a gun, to
which the Collyers gun replied. It should have been
mentioned, by the way. that there was a 3-
pounder aboanl. owned and worked by the ancient
Van Valkenburg. who labored with the most praise-
worthy zeal to ;:L<tasmuchandas frequent noise out of
his artillery as the heat of the weatherwould permit.
About hall an hour at Quarantine, and the Neckar
weighed anchor and started up the bay for her dock
at Hoboken. F'rom this moment almost tmtU
the dock was reached, the run was made amid the
most dreadful din which steam, gunpowder, bell-
metal, and th» human voice, all combined, could
produce. An immense tleet of tugs whs lying in
wait for the ship, and directly she approaclied they
simultaneously let off their whistles ; some of the
larger tags had guns aboard, and these were tired;
the PoUre-boat Seneca joined in with two guns : the
>.'eekar roared < >ut its rei^lies : the Collyer screamed
and fired its gun as fast as possible : the band played
with extra allowance of big drum ; the Staten
Island and other ferry -ijoats whistled ; ev-
erybody on every boat, anywhere within
sight or hearing, cheered and cheered, waved hats
Bnd handkerchiefs ; and Barney Bigl in. luiable to re-
strain himself any longer, st-ized the rope attached to
■ ponderous w-\X on the Collyer and mude
the noisy thing spin around . at the
rate of t>o';evulu;ions t" the minute. The sailors
on the Jii:uie:Jota. a.-.tounded at this terrific din,
swarmed tliruugh the ports and went up the shrouils
like a crowd of dying monkej's. In one instant the
whole riggiui:was black with them, but unfortunately
the excnrsionists were not treated to the extremely
Jnterestiiig sight of manning the yards, as th«* httats
pnaJted l(M> swiftly to give the chance. Amid such
dfmonst rat ions tlie Neckar. with her -attendant, ap-
proacJied the Hoboken wharf, where a large crowd,
said to Im? mainly friends of .Senator McPherson and
ex-Senator iS'elinghuysen. hnd assembled to welcome
the Senator. They had a heavy field-piece, too, and
fired a regular salute, while from Pier No. 4^. acrftss
the river. the sound of another gun could be heard.
At the dock a large number of peojile went
Aboanl the vessel, and there was the first
talking done. Kver>'body wanted to have
something said in the way of welcome,
»o in default of any other, Mr. Stiner offered to
Senator Coukling the congratulations of his numer-
otis friends on Ids safe return. The Seimtor replied
h» tlie briefest and mo.st informal way. tbaiucing
them ver>' heartily for their kindness, saying how
flad he was to met't so ni:i:iy familiar faces, and that
e had had too much fcnoi-king about to make any
formal adilress at that time. <>n landing, the Senator
was received by New-Jersey delegation, with Major
Pimgboni to the fore, calling for "three rousing Jer-
tev cheers." These cheers were given, but were not
distinguishable from other cheers heard alreitdy
along the route. An Impromptu proce««ion had been
formed by the Collyi^r party, with the band at its head,
to march' from the'stfamefs pier to the next beyond.
where the CoUyir had to go, and, having got him
out of the clutches of the Jerseymen. the procession
marched in irrand array around the docks and safely
transferred the Senator to the Collyer, where some
]unch was piven him, which he seemed to be in need
of. The Collyer was then headed up the river, and
a lirtle cruising about done to allow time for intro-
ductions, interchange of greetings, &c.. until 2:30.
"When the lunding was made at Twenty-fourth-street.
the Senator was carried away, amid loud cheering, for
n little rest at Col. Howe's hotise, and everybody said
that .the whole reception was a great success — which

THE EVEXINOJ RECEPTION'.
The reception to Senator Conkling at the
fifth-Avenue Hotel came late. The Senator him-
self desired rest, and, from one cause or an-
other, it was 1 1 :30 o'clock before the pro-
ceedings were properly en train. There were
Dumerous friends in Immediate attendance, and in
the public places of the hotel, and outside there was
B very considerable crowd anxious to welcome the
distinguished Senator. Gilmore's Band, which was to
serenade the guest of the evening, did
not arrive tmtU considerably after 11 o'clock-
Among those present were : Gem Sickles, I>r. A. Rup-
paner, P. B. Veiller, Gen. Pope, of Lawrence County;
JohnSylvestre.of Columbia County ; Jeromiah Drew,
Stewart To. Woodford, Dr. Henry, Jacob Hess, A. B.
Griawold, John H. Smjthe. Nearly all the gentle-
men who took part in the morning v reception
on/ the Bay were also in attendance. After
appropriate mnslc by Gilmore's Band, JudgeUMtten-
hoefer came to the front of the Fifth-Avenue .Hotel
balconv, and said that he had been appointed to in-
form the citizens present that Hon. Isaac H.
Bailey wotild welcome the great Senator on his re-
turn to the State that honored and admired him.
Mr. B.'uley then came forward. He said that the
occa»ion wa» one on which they met upon common
pronnd. Thev were there simply to welcome their
own Senator of the State of T?^-York baclc from hia
foreign voyage. It was a compliment paid to him,
K)( M • poluicLui. biLt u a atsfoBman of tha laisect
State in this T/nlon, and tt -vres paid M
Mm by the City of New- York, the p eat
metropolis of the Union. Mr. Bailey made furt ner
remarics in the same strain, which were warmly re-
ceived, and then Senator Coukling came forw rd.
He was received with unfeigned welcome, and w len
silence was restored spoke va follows :
SENATOR CONKLnfG*S SPEECH.
This greeting, more than you can easily realize , ia
gratifying to me. After tossing in chili winds md
rains on foaming seas, sometimes in the swee] of
polar currents, there is something unknown bel :>re
in the cordiality of neighbors and friends. In
the thankfolness of seeing yon, and se iug
America again, I want to say a word in
praise of the good ships which carried us
safely to and fro— the Mosel and the Kectar — an 1 of
their officers and men. It is a pleasure to testify . as
all my fellow-passengers wotild do, of the care, the
courtesy, the comfort, and, above all, the seamam hip
and safety to be found on the ships of the North i \er-
man Lloyd. How eonid words be f onnd fitly to th mk
you for the honor of this welcome. Those wi rds
should - be spoken and then a prudent man wi uld
stop. If I go on, yon wlU secihat I come ha ika
stronger if not a bettec American than I w !nt.
Never before was I so proud of my
country and my countrymen, or bo con' ent
with them. Mindful of much courtesy and hospi all-
ty abroad, I was amazed to find so little to env >- or
to wish to see transplanted to our land. G eat
Britain has, of course, the accumulated res ilts
of many generations. She has had eight centurM i of
Parhaments and of power, and she has ti Icon
tribute from half the world. Time und
entailed estates have piled up collo isal
wealth, individual, family, and aggregate. Bu in
civiliiation. in liberty, in general intelligence in
actual progress, and. above all, in the promise of the
future, America, young as she is, need not sk ink
from a comparison. In public conveniences and
methods of nearly every khid we are fai In
advance. English hotels would S€sem sadly be lind
the times here — indeed they would not be endu red.
Telegraphic service Is inferior to ours. Railwav ser-
vice in general is destitute of facilities, com^' rts,
and conveniences. • which here are mat ters
of course ever>'where -, and the fares w tuld
sound extravagant indeed among us. But thei ? is
one piece of wisdom in England by which the
City of New- York weil might profit. I n ean
rapid and cheap transit in London. Xx>n Ion.
with its 4.000,000 people, tmlike 3 ew-
York, spreads out in all directions. This, of coi rse,
makes more difficult and' expensive anv systen . or
provision for rapid transit reaching atl sides and
quarters. No one course of travel will stiffice. Not
only north and south, but east and west, people and
freight must be carried «i&ily to and fro. The
Thames, flowing throuiih the heart of the city, 1 1, to
be sure, a great channel of traffic and travel, and yet
'the width of space occupied by the Thames givei up
in Kew-York to iron rails would more than e inal
all 'the advantage of the river. And then, too,
London has no North River on one side and 5ast
River on the other. With all her difficulties see
what she has done. By sunken tracks and
elevated tracks, by undergnnmd roads and
overground roads, all parts of her immense trea
may be reached quielily and cheaply I by
giople and freight, and rea';hed by st( am.
ere is London's on*' great possoasiou : without his.
even her docks would be of only partial value, [s it
not amazing that on Manhattan Fslnnd, long and
narrow as it i?. and therefor* wanting main 1 nes
only north and south, a - prime need like
this has been neglected, until propeity. commi rce,
population, and ever\' intOTest of the Cityislang' ish-
mg. because men and merchandise canno'tbe m ved
at reasonable rates of time and money. Ko man nrho
knows New-V<irk can visit Ixmdon and not mi rvel
afresh that Spnyten Duyvil and the Battery Jiavt not
long ago been brought together, and terminal f cill-
ties for both home and seagoing traffic created for
the want of wliich the City and .State of New-' brk
are losing untold millions every year. Having long
thought much on this subject. I cannot help snea cing
of it at the first moment of looking into the fac* $ of
those who have power to deal with it.
Pa-ssing from L<»ndon to Paris, one thing strucl . me
of wliich you will gladly be reminded; that i; the
magnanimity of Germany and (rermans. This is suf-
ficiently illustrated by the pahices and parks of y er-
sailles. Splendid as they are in treasures of art rap-
tured from half the peoide of Europe, they pere
among the places occupi*Ml by the armies of Oerr lany
in the Franco- I*russian War. It was, you remen bef.
in the great ball-room of the chief palace that
Kinc "William was crowned Emperor, and his sol-
diers were quartered everywhere. IJutlawlessne s or
resentment laid ho hand on the place. No rt ugh
sense of justice said, '"These :rTand embellishn ents
came here as snoils and trophies, and as spoils and
tropliies we will take them away." Everything was
left and restored untouched, and the residents ol the
neighborhood, bitter as th^-y are. confessed that the
Germans paid for all they consumed, one man ad ling
that they paid d<iuble prices too. Versailles is per-
ha^ps the most m:ignificent possession of France out
it : is also a majestic monument of the gran leur
anii forbearance of victorious (Jermany. I reji iced
to look on its preservation, not alone for the c edit
it ICSea to humanity, but for the honor it reflect i nn
tliat great body of' our own citizens who came rom
the land of tlie Khinel You know it is llie
weakness of travelers, especially travelers who mvo
seen but little, to talk; of what they see. You
will forcive me this once, provided I ittop
here ; but I shall never forgive my.self f I
go on. Many of you gave me mea" ages
to Gen. Grant. They were delivered and
appreciated, and groetinjgs sent you in rei urn.
Wherever he goes honors Wait upon him, but th< y do
not seem to wean him from things at liome. He may
remain long abroad, but' when he returns yo lare

Ism, or made htm anything save the same upi ght,
.downright Republican,' without rant or palaver -the
same modest unpretending citizen, you. have ever

LoNQ Bbanch, Friday, Aug. 10, 18T7.
The accident ^vhich occurred here yesterday-
has proved fatal! to one of the j>assengers by the
trahi whic]i plmiged from the bridge at Oceanport
Creek. C. Edward Ver Menlin, a boy, 16 years of
age, was in the socond passenger car when it was
tipped over , and ti e was thrown across the car against
the upper cornice on the lower side of the carriage,
recelvlnjf contusic ns of the eyo and leg, and his chest
was dreadfully crushed. He was taken out soon
after , the jshock [ occurred, and carried, with ten
or a doten others, to the house of Capt.
Harry Edwards, aboht a mile ^ from the bridge,
where he k«eeiv^ immediate medical attendance.
He lay for a longitime tn an unconscious state, but
during the evening of'Thursday be became sensible,
and for a few hours gave promise of doing well.
Toward mi inight however, he passed again into in-
senaibihty, from -phich he did not rally, remaining
comatose until ^tween 3 and 4 o'clock, when be
died. He iras a sjon of Dr. Vermeulen, of the Umted
States Nav)r, and his father is now with the Ameri-
can sqnadnm In Japanese waters. He was attended
by his mother, and the loss of her only child has
sadly prostrated her. His uncle, Hon. Charles
Campbell, of Middlesex, was also with him at the
time of his death, and had a son in Capt.
Edwards' house I suffering ' from cuts and bruises
received in the wreck. The body was prepared for
burial by ah undertaker, and a special train this
afternoon conveyed it to Woodbridge, where
Mrs. Ver Meulen resides. Coroner Gugel
was immediately notified, and this morning he
impaneled & jury, six of the body being chosen in
Oceanport I and six in Long Branch, as follows:
Charles Lewis, foreman ; George M. Mnpes, J. A.
Morford, Henry B. Edwards, W. H. Bennett, Samnel
Kissam, (Jeorge Hathaway. Iiawren'*e Price, Walter
S. Green, Geoige Cook, Timbrook Morris, Eugene
Britton. The jury were sworn in here at Kewing's
HoteL when they accompanied Coroner Gugel to
Capt. Edward's house, saw the body of young Ver
Meulen. and then, repairing to the wTeck. exanuned
the ruins and the bridge, noting carefully the
mode of operating the draw and tlie rela-
tive positions of the track and the overturned cars.
They then adjourned to meet again to-morrow morn-
ing at 9 o'clock- A delay was necessary, to give op-
portunity for the ser^^ce of a larfze number of »-ub
ptenas, uj>on officers and employes of the Central
liailioad. and many witnesses of tlie accident.
County Prosecutor Lanning promises that the inves-
tigation shall be sean'hing, and that an effort will be
made to ascertain precisely where the responsibility
for the terrible accident lies, and to liold the offend-
ing person or persons to strict accountability.
Mrs, Amanda iWhite, of Little Silver, who was
taken ont of the partly submerged cars in an imvensl-
ble condition, is still alive at the Park Hotel, Ocean-
port, and I>r. P.'it^terson, of Red Bank, who is attend-
ing iier. CO isiders her case a verj' critical one. She
was internally injured, and has had but one or two

cnlity, and wiv^ looked upon a« a decidedly novt-l BJcht,
worth goii g mile« to see. A ^anu of workmen con-
structed a tjidini^jleiidinv from the main track to the
side of the wrecked hwomotive. a switch
was erected, and everything made ready for re-
moving the rubbish as soon as possible. The
wrecking car hoisted out the trades and splinters of
the bntcKage car. and the debris wa<t HtackeU up at a
distance f^m the truck. Before night the locomotive
was uncovered, and ItHjkeii very much like a gigan-
tic beetle I which had lost its legs and been ttirned
over on it* back. The fire was Mtill burning in the
furnace. The new track ia so laid that the engine
can be tUted over directly upon the mils, and run off
without Idelay. 'I'he passenger c»>aches have
been diamantled. the steps. buffers, and

moved. Strange to say the stoves still stand in their

Tlie dlsfussion of the question of rettponsibiHty
continues iht-re and at Ofcauport. and in the latter
pla^-e thejfiuinion generally pn-vails that the little
sail-boat ylxeu was tlie indirect cause of the acci-
dent. It is thought by many who have expressed
their opinions that Conrow, the bridge-tender, Imd
intended -Cjo open the drawfor the boat, but seeing the
tr:dn apnijo-ich had taken in hi.^ red flacM and dis-
E laved tne wiiite one. fnrjfettim; meanwhile to throw
ack the liever and close the laiche.s. There is little
belief in the talk about a Ioos/> rail. Conrow is not
at all dittturbe<l, to judge from his manner, and mani<
festt uo disposition to evade-the Coroner. He uill
attend th(i iniiue-'t to morrow. At this place there

surwl me tJiat thev hat! repeatedly searched throiiKh
the cars which lie in the water without discovi-riuK
anytbiug.land they entirely doubt the truth of the re-
ports. At Oceani>ort I he.ird many persons speaking
of the accident an something which did not suriirise
anv one. The rate of spec*! nsuallv taken In cross-
hitr the liridge haK always provoked criticism. The
trelns never appeared to slack up on approacldnj;
tiie bridge, but went whirUng across it with the
speed of! the. wind. When the noise of the
cars iMunding over the sleepers was heard the cause
of it was iuunediatelv apprehended, and t<> this a p-
prchensio^i was attributed the great promptness with
wbicli the Oceanport ]>eople hastened to tne relief of
the passengers. The en:rineers are saiil to have re-
plied to quesdons about their ftu^ona driving ncrojis
the bridge that the road was frequently cut by
stream**, and that if they should slow up at all of
them they coulii never make their sehttlule lime, and
tiiis they' would have to do if they wished to keep on
the riglit side of their employers.
T(ie woundeii are scattered all over the country
hereabout, and It is thoncht many of tho.^o wlio ari"

Several packages of personal property, in sachels and
carpet-bags, are now reported as missing, and one
very valuable sachel, containing jewelry, which was
left on the bridge while the wounded were being re-
moved, was missed soon after, and has not since been
fonud, altliough the railroad company have had a de-
tective looking for it.

One of the victims of the disaster, a resident of
Bro<Jklyu, but whose name was withheld by the Re-
ceiver, called at the company's oflflce yesterday to ob-
tain comijensation for personal injuries and property
lost. HiH claim was paid without debate, and he
went on his way after giving the company a release
from all dalma which might be hereafter made on
hia part. Judge Lathrop was unable to say what
would be jthe status of smts broncht aeainst a bank-
rupt corporation, or what probability there would bo

THE MANHATTAN LIBERAL CLUB.
An extraordinary scene occurred last evening
at the Manhattan liberal Club. The speaker of the
evening, ! William A. Croflfut, delivered a lecttire
entitled ' *'I-abor and Capital," or, "Strik-
ing and < Striking Back," in the course
of which he leaned more to the side
of capital than woa pleasing to the majority of his
auditors, ithe latter manifesting their repugnance by
hisses, ironical laughter, and frequent interruptions-
At the close of the address several of the leading
members of the club rose, one by one, and solemnly
denounced the utterances of the speaker ; described
his views as cold-blooded, heartless, and irrational,
and branded the lecturer himself as a "reUc of by-
gooe agek," a "foaai]," and a "social fiend." At
the nune'time, they all expressed theh* high personal
reg&rd and adiniratiou for the man. Hev. C. p. Uo

The conspiracy of car conductors to " beat

^ar as the iSecond-A'' 'enue Line is concerned. About
a dozen of thQ: m( n have oeen discharged, or are
hotirly in expecialtlon of arraignment and prosecu-
tion. An'individua ki^wn as McFherson, who was
dismissodi from thi Colt Manufacturing Company,

the Broadway and University-place Railroad, from
the fact that many 5f the passengers, such as ladies

Pherson'sj prieci for oommtinicatine the secret of
picking the combine tion was usually a royalty of $5
per week on all stei: lings. As there were about 10

THINKS THE JURY WAS INSANE.
The. Chicago Post prints the results of s brief
Interview with Prof. Kke. the slayer of S. Sr Jones,
who has Just been acquitted on the ground of insan-
ity. To the question whether he was satisfied with
the verdict. Pike said: "■Well, t should have pre.
ferred it would have been something different. In
fact, the plea of Insanity was not my choosing. I
wanted all the facts as they were to be brought out,
and a verdict rendered in regard to them, hut my
lawyer and friends thought differently, and so I
stood like a sheep before its shearers and let them go
ahead. It was the jury that was Insane and not me."
" What do vou propose to do with yourself when
youjpet out to Elgin f"
" Oh. I shall j!o on with my wojk. The world
shall hear from me yA, I propose to keep np my
Btudjing and writing, and I want to make arrange-
ments with gome paper or publication to mve my,
views to the world." •
The Professor, after again denying that he was at
all insane, proceeded to tell oOii" dreams and fan-
cies. One night about two 'vffeks ago a 'voice told
him thnt he should be tried on a Mondav. He asked
his attorneys about it, and they told Kim that the
case was set for -Tuesday, and that the spirits
had lied to him. Tuesday came, and the
Brooks trial caused a postponement to TTiursday. His
fellow -prisoners lauKtied at his dream, but the case
went over till Monday after all, so that his dream,
like the others he had. came true. He had been
made so much fun of and so misrepresented that as
srjon as he had leisure he was eoing to write an auto-
biography to set himself ri«ht before the world. He
further informed his questioner that although spirits
from the other world r^me to him often, yet the
spirit of the man he had murdered never bothered
hnn. He never worried nor thought about hiiX and
held no communication with him whatever.
ALLEGED PEIUVRT IN A DIVORCE SV IT.
Andrew Coonradt was arraigned before Jus-
tice Wandell yesterday morning, in Jefferson Market
Pohce Court, on a charge of nerjury in the suit of
Mrs. Eliza Winchell for a divorce from Ren-
selaer B. Winchell. This suit is counter to one
brought by her husband against her. Both
suits are based on allegations of adultcrj*.
On behalf of Mrs. WiuchelL Coonradt lately swore

This testimony was given before a Referee on the
30th of last June. Yestemav morning Hiram
]>owns appeared liefore Juuce ft'andell and swore
thnt he is the proprietor of Downs' Hotel on Broad-
way and One Hundred and Third-street, and was the
proprietor of the hotel of the same name in 1872,
whicli wa.H then located on One Hundred and Fir<?t-
street. and not where Coftnradt stated it was : that
in Anguht or September of that year. Renss»laer 13,
Winchell and Andrew Cooni^dt came into the hotel
toffnther. but that said Winchell did not go with any
girl into any room in said house, .and remained to-
gether with and left in 5»id Coonradt's company.
Juj»lice Wandell held Coonradt for examination on
the charge of perjury.

A dH.stardly attempt at murder was made
last night iu the Battery Park. A young
man named John Greeve became intoxicated
early in the evening, and emrnged in a
fight with some members of the notorious
gang led by Mike Quigley, who hxs so often been be-
fore the courts for participation in stabbing and
shooting affrays. The fieht began on Front-
street, near WhitehalL VTiio was engaged in it
could not be ascertained latt night. It
was interruptwi in some manner, and Quiglev and a
person known aa "Jim" walked across to the Hat-
ten.* followed by Greeve. There a controversv aro^e
between Jim and Greeve, in the course of which
a burly mffiau. who wore no coat, stole up
behind Greeve, and struck him a terrible blow on
the back of the hetid. felling hlra to the ground. He
then jumped upon his victim's head, and kicked him
until he was Benseless. The scoundrt-l then escaped.
Greeve lay unconscious for several minutes, ana in
the meantime a reporter of The Timks
was unable to find an ofBcer in the neigh-
borhood. Two boys finally picked Greeve
up and carried him to a stable iu Bridfrc-street. It
was reported that he had boen seriously hurt. The
Police made no arrests.

Speculation^ on tho Stock Exchange to-
^Y was characterized by extreme dullness, the
business being limited iuvoltime aiMltheflucttia'
tious confined within narrow limits. In the
early dealings the market was rather weak,
especially for the coal shares, which recorded a
deeline ranging from 13 to 1 ^ cent. The
trunk line shares, however, were firm, as were
sdso the Western roads, including the Granger
stocks, and the strength developed by these im-
parted itself to the general market and pro-
duced an improvement in the entire list, the ad-
vance ranging from I4 to 2 1? cent. At the
close prices showed a reaction of _ ig to I2 ^?'
cent, frora the highest point.
The action of the Joint Committee appointed
hy the Atlantic and Pacific an4 the Western
Union Telegraph Companies will be awaited
with much interest, not only bv -speculators on
Wall-street, but by the genera! pubUc The
prevailing impression is that while a continua-
tion of the present low rates o^ telegraphy is a
decided advantage to those Who do business
over the wires, it, is, nevertheless, only fair
and proper that the rival companies should
agree opon some basis of harmonious working
whereby they would not only be saved from ac-
tual loss, bnt would be enaUed -to afford their
stockholders a just return on their capital It
is to be hoped that the csmmittae, in discussing
the matters to be submitted to them, will be in-
fluenced solely by a desire to promote the Inter-
eats of the companies they represent, and that
none of its members will allow 3iis action to be
guided by considerationa arising out of his
speculative position on the stoc^ market.

BI£ I'BIEND ME. SCHMIDT BUNS A.WAY WITH
H£B, AND AI«SO RELIEVS8 EDC OF HONEY
AND HOUSEHOLD GOODS— A SUIT FOR SE-
I DUCTOON AND GRAND LABCENT.
The Bocial nations of Charles Heydtm&n and
¥«ter Schmidt, wMch yesterday cxUminated in the
•irett of the \Litter, hi hoth a crmdnal and cItH oc-
tknii preaeDt many Interesting complications. Heydt-
XEUtn; who is a iTfiU-to-do German Profossor, had been
Hving happily \wlth his wife Christine at No. 309
I i<inth-8tx«et, when, in 1376, he became acquainted
With Feter Schmidt, another well-to-do German,
phonz.he introdoced in his family, and whom he used
|lo visit himself qnite often, "^he aeqnalntanoeehlp
eontisni'd ontll Schnddt became quite intimate, so
lntimate-,indeed that, it Is allleged, Schmidt be^an to
visit Kr8» Herdtman dming her husband's absence
tn the ewekunc, remaining for some hours. He
■trove dur^'g tliese visits to persuade the lad7
that she was " too noble a woman " for snch
ft man as her^ hosb&nd, and endeavoring to wean
her aifections fiiom,her hnsband, began to plead his
■'own love for her. tJiilllng her on une occasion, so it is
claimed by a servant who overheard their various
vonrersatiohs, thwt he lud been told by a fortune
teller that he wouJd marry a blonde, addmg that sho
:<l&rs. Heydtman) was the one. He progressed bo
favorably in Mrs^ . Heydtmann'sl good graces that
he soon began to an»nge for an elbpement. At this
dme Hevotman had deposited lin the Germania
Bavines Sank SS.STJ^-in the joint interest of himself
and his wiftN tojijethor with $4,OO0 doposlted in the
same bank In his wife's maiden nai ae, and a mortgage
for ^I,'200 on a house and lot in fast One Hundred
and Twelfth -street.
Learning of this fact, Schmidt perraaded Mrs.
Hevdtman to indoco' her hnsband to put the deposit
of $2,878 in her own name Bolely He then went to
Beydtman, and, stattng that he 1: ad heard that ho
had money deposited in the savizun bank, said that
they were very unsafe then, and v ere bursting every-
day. He added that the onlv aifo investment Ini
these times was first bond ami mirt?n?e liens, and
sftid that ho bad a friend who hod a house and lot' on
Second -ftTenue, on which h« wanted a loan
of $8.000. for which he would give a
irst bond and mortcage as security.
.-"Heydtman. deceived by Schmidt's apparent sincerity,
agreed to advance the money, provided any one could
|>o got who would cash his own ;$l.-00 mortgage.
Brhmidt said he would do so MmSelf. and advanced
the money, receiving therefor an -assignment on the
property. AH this time the preparations for the ^
elopement were going on, and on Sept. 23, a few
days after the.above transaction, during H^dtman's •
Sbbsence on business, Schmidt and Mrs. Heydtman
sailed for Europe, the woman taking with her cloth- 1
ing, a sewing-machine, pictures, the bank deposits,
And the $1,200 that Schmidt had fdven for tho '
mortgage on Uie One Hundred and Twelfth-street
'honse.
Heydtman having discovered the flight of his wife,
made a dllii;ent search for both her and her lover,
but did not succeed in finding them until June 15, '
when he lenmed that they had returned from Europe,
ftnd wei-e living together at No. 330 Ninth-street, a
Cew doors from his own honse. He immediately ■
commenced suit for damages for the seduction, and
caused Schmidt's arre«t by Deputy Sheriff O'Beme.
.Yesterday another charge of grand larceny was pre-
Jorred by him against the prisoner for carrying away
fthe bank deposits and nousehold goods of the
■wronged husband, and on it he was compelled to
mve $1,500 bail at the Essex Market Police C^urt.
Tie was also held in $3,000 bail in the civil suit for '
dam^es.

I PRISONER* PLEAD GUILTY.
I On July 24 a man entered a Broadway office
of the American District Telegraph Company, and
hart a letter sent to Mrs. Gustav A- Rechlin, of No.
140 East Twenty-eighth-street. The letter purport-
ed to be signed by Mrs. Bechlln's husband, and di-
rected her to give the bearer his dress coat. Mrs.
Bechlln gave the coat as directed, and the sender of
the letter soon after met the boy and received it.
£mboIdened by the success of bis fir!<t attempt, the
man sent a second letter to Mrs. RecHlin by a differ-
ent messenger, directing her to send him his Winter
overcoat and walking-coat, as he had purchased a
new cedar trunk, and wished to .pack up his Winter
clothing. When the messenger boy arrived at the
^nse, Mr. Rechlin was present, and had. of course,
been informed of the previotis transaction. An at-
tempt was made to entrap the swindler, but he man-
aged to escape. Two days afterward, however, he
wai seen by one of the messenger boys whom he had
made tooln of, and handed over to a Police officer.
C»n being called up by Assistant District Attorney
iierriagin the Court of General Sessions yesterday,
Dodge wa» recocnized as a consummate thier and «win-
dler- Tn 1ST4 he was sent to Srntw Prison by Re-
corder Hackett for obtaining S.^jO on a forged check.
He pleaded guilty tofofgerj* in the third degree, and
Judge Sntheriand sent him to State Prispn for two
years and six months. ""^^
Francis Bethet a butcher, at Thlrtv-tSird-street ■
a^d Tenth-avenue, called on William Buck, of No.
l.'2G West-atfeet, on June 2, audj asked hiznito cash a
check for $25. The check was drawn on the Nassau
Katiohal Bank to the order 6t Francis Rooney.
and purported to be signed by James Goodheart.
Bethel informed Sir. Bnek that he was the man
Tiooney named in the check, which, he said, he had
received from Mr. Goodheart in payment of wages
due. On these representations Sir. Buck cashed
the check, but subsequently found that the signa-
ture Of Mr. Goodheart was a forgery. Bethel^ or
Kooney, wa** tliereupon arrested, and In the Court of
Genera] Sessions yesterday pleaded gnilty. Judge
Sutherland sent him: to State Prison for four years.
SEIZURE '.OF THE lyEXifARK.
The steamer Denmark, of the National Line,
was seized yesterday on her arrival in this port by
ofBcers detailed from the Surveyors ofBce. She was
lUlowed to proceed to-her pier, and it is nnderatoo<l
that her cargo will not . be disturbed. The seizure
has been uuule under *the authority of the act of
1799, whereby the ■' owners of a vessel are
held responsible for smuggling carried on
by-_ any of its officers, and if the value of
the smuggle*! pn)perty exceeds $400. the ves!«el is
forfeited to the (Tovemment. The latter may. how-
ever, if it ciiooses, remit tho forfeiture and impose a
fine on the company. The seizure Lu the present in-
Btance was made on the arrival instead of the de-
parture of tlio steamer, in order to give the officers
of the line an opportimity to settle the case before
her next atlvertlsed day of sailing. At the office of
"the National Line the attaches refused to give any
Information concerning the ultimate dLspositlon of
the case, though it is ceneraDv understood that the
vessel will be put under $'l'30,00i» or $200,000
bonds. Meantime the steamer remains at her dock
In charge of the Government oi&eers.
THE TELEGRAPH COOfBTyATIOX.
The committee appointed by the Western
/Cnion Telegraph Company, consisting of William
H. Vanderbilt. E. D. Morgan, and Augustus Schell.
•will meet the committee of the Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph, comprising Sidney Dillon. G. G. Sampson,
and Russell Sage, on Tuesday next, for the purjKKe
of harmonizing the interests of the two corporations.
Secretary Chandler, of the Atlantic and Pacific, in-
formed a TiifKS reporter yesterday that the object
of the movement was not consolidalion. btxt simply
the adoption of such a basis of rates as would Insure
a reasonable degree of profit to bf>th companies and
do away with the present hnnecessary and wasteful
competition bet^veen them. One of the schemes
proposed comprehends the pooling of the eaminps of
both companies, with a division of 80 per cent, to
the Western Union and 20 percent, to the Atlantic
andPacitic. At the oflQce of the Western Union the
officials refused to say anythmg definite concerning
the matter.
rOZTXD DEAD /JV BJS ROOM.
The store of Henry Cross, jewelerand watch-
toaker, at No. 454 Hudson-street, was not opened
during Thursday nor yesterday morning. As Cross,
whose bed-room is at the rear of the store, did not
appear in the meantime, the neighbors, fearing that
«ome harm bad befallen him, reported his absence to
the Police. Detectives Noble and Flannagan went to
the store and broke into it at 'the rear. The rooms
were stiffocating, no air having been admitted to
them for 36 hours. Upon the floor behind the coun-
ter the officers found the body of Cross, who had ap-
parently died shortly after closing his store on
Wednesday night. He had disrobed and. it seems, was
about to lie down upon a blanket for the night when
death overtook him. Tlie oflScers looked through
the rooms and satisfied themselves that Cross had
died from a natnral cause. His scanty stock of
cheap jewelry was intact, and a number of
watches left with him to be repaired were
liangiu"- upon a rack. Cross lived alone. No trace
of relatives could be found oy the detectives. He
was apparentlv an English Hebrew, about 60 years
of ageT He had only kept the store wherein he died
for about fire months. For several years previous
to that time he kept a store In Seventh-avenue, be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets. His conduct
while there, the neighbors sav, was scandalous, par-
ticularly bis actions toward children. The sentiment
of the people grew so violent against him that he was
eompefied to move his business. Coroner Croker
viewed the body yesterday afternoon, and_ Deputy
Coroner MacWhinnie made a post mortem examina-
tion, which resulted in the discovery that Cross died
cf heart disease.

for him. Finally the Captain-determined to' tear

Tin Police divided into three sections, comma nded
by Capt. Foley and Special Offlcers McGowan and
Welsh, At 10:30 the attack was made at the hree
places simultaneonsly, doors and windows crere
burst open, and the officers entered so j suddenly that
the inmates could not escape, and had no tii le to
hide the evidence of guilt. Capt. Folejy and hi i de-
tochment captured Cornelius DantA, I the supj osed

any money secured. It consisted of silver [coins
to the amount of .^S or $9. The men grabbed riU the
bills and pocketed them befoVe the officers could see
pt>sitively where they were taken from. Thiwplace
was in charge of Officer McGowan. who, befo^ the
attack was made, climbed to the window by a bidder
and saw where all the articles were hidden Tfhen the
alarm was taken. J
Yesterday all the parties were taken before Justice
Kilbreth. in the Essex-Market Court. The three al-
leged proprietors were required to give .$1.0<K) ball
each, the others being discharged for lack of suf-
ficient evidence. Cornelius Banta was represented
by counsel, who made a desperate effort toj ^how
that he was not in any way connected with tha place
as proprietor. Justice Kilbreth, however, deemed
Banta's own evidence sufficient. He said he^jfras an
upholsterer by trade, but had not worked forjabout
811 months ; that he visited the gnmbling-rooini three
or four times a week "to look on." 1^ said pe did
not play, because he had no money to play witp, and
that he supported his family on what money he had.

SriK- WE A FEUS OX STRIKE^
ONE HUNDRED AST) SIXTY GIRLS QUIT VORK
IN THIS CITY— REDUCTION IN WAGE J THE
CAUSE.
About 160 girls who have beenengagsd as
weavers in the silk manufactory of Messrs. Jc hn N.
Steams & Co., Forty-second-street near Thii d-ave-
nue, were informed on We<lnesday last tha their
wages thereafter would be reduced from 12 1 1 nine
cents a yard for their work. This, the prop -ietors
said, was rendered necessary by the dullness jt the
times and the general depresxion in nea: Iv all
branches of trade. A similar reduction he S been
made in all the large nianufactori >s at
Patcrson, N. J., where most of the ptlr.cipal
silk factories are situated, and it was found neces-
sary here to conform to the same rates. Th s girls,
after a short consultation, decided to strike. With-
out any demonstration they quietly left the estab-
lishment, and up to last evenini; there was no ihange
in the situation. When the weavers stop i ork it
disarranges all the rest of the depart nents,
and the Superintendent found it net essarj'
to clofte the buiMing. In an int arN-iew
with the book-keeperl of the firm la.-tt
evening, that gentleman informed Tkb Tix B8 re-
porter that no concessions wonld be made to the
girls, and he expressed the opinion that they would
soon return to work on the terras nroposed Tt.e
S'rls struck once before, in 1873, and only remained
le one week. As the times were mucli duller now,
and the depression in all branrhes of business so
much greater, it was thought that the strikers wonld
find it ImposBihIe to eet other work, and they wotild
net-essarily return to their old situations, which still
remained open to them. No hard feelings existed,
and none of the other employes were dlsposedjto Join
in the refusal to work. The terms propose^ would
enable the girbi to make, on an average, about §8
per week, and the firm wi.s not justified, juitnow,
m pajing more.
The strike has been the cause of also throw ng out
of employment about 60 hands, men and gir ?. who
liftve oeen engaged at the <jlyeing factory belor fing to
thesamefirm.sitnatedatNew- Brighton. Staten Island.
On calling at the latter establishment yeste -day. a
Times reiwrter foun'l it closed and under the charge
of a watchman. Inijulry elicited the fact thi t there
was no disposition to i strike among tie em-
loyes, and they had ceased work only
lause tliere was io material for them
to work upon. The silk which Is s mn at
the factory on Forty -sec lind-strwt is subs«> mently
SfOt to the New-Briuhtoii |brnnrh, where it un lerKoes
a dyeing process, nnd is wound npon spools and re-
turned to llie New-York establishment to be woven.
The stoppage of work by tlie weavfirs has r »ndero<l
necessary a temporarv suspension at the dy Ing es-
tablishment. TTiere has been no reduction in the
waees of the hands eniplijjred at the branch actory,
and there has been ni> disposition on the pai t of the
dyers to enter np<>n a strike. The empi "ves at
thLt factory will alt resume work as soon as ho fac-
torj' is opened. ,

A FOLLOWER OF MRS. TOM-RI-JON.
JhINNIS MEBTON ANStOUS TO BON MALE AT-
TIRB^SHE DESERTS HEB FARM ON LONG
I ISLAND AND VISITS T HE CITT — HERAGBEE-
' MENT WITH MRS. TOM-BI-JON, AND WBA.T
CAME OF IT.
" Doctor " Tom-Ri-Jon and his wife, both of
Volcano fanie. reside in Frankfort-street. Mrs. Tom-
Rt-Jon is somewhat peculiar in her ways, and being
naturally of a strong-minded disposition, she oc-
casionally gives expression to her sentiments by
donning male attire. Her husband, the '-Doctor,"
Is publisher of a small sneet which advocates
woman's rights and reform in women's dress-
Mrs. Tom.Ri-Jon acts as general newsdealer and news
agent for her husband, and parades the streets in a
handsome tweed suit. There is another lady, it
seems, whose opinions coincide somewhat with those
of Mrs, Tom-Ri-Jon Her name is Minnie Merton,
she is somewhat advanced in years, and, fortunately
lor unfortuE ately, aa the case may be, has nqver been
joined in w< »dlock. She possesses a large farm in the
interior of Long Island, and by some means or other
hearing of Mrs. Tom-Ri-Jon, and the strong
ideas of reijorm in female dress which she was said
to dissemtn Ue, and which agreed in every way with
her own, slje immediately laid down the plowshare
at which she had been toiling, and came to New-
York to see' Mrs. Tom-Rl .lonl On the 26th of last
month, being footsore and wear>* after her journey,
she called at the residence of the "Doctor," and
inquired how and when she could have a suit of
clothes made similar in stvle and material to those
worn by ; his wife. - Mr. Tom-Ri.Jon said that his
wife was not at home at the time, but that If the
lady would wait for some little tiine his wife would
probuldy return, and tell her bow and where to get
the suit. Minnie waited patiently for an hour or so,
and when Mrs. Tom-Ri-Jon came back it "was finally
agreed between the parties that the latter should
make the suit. Nothing was said about the price,
the only point at issue between them — something
trivial in itself, but of serious import to Miss Merton —
was that the latter required the pantaloons made in
spring-bottomed style, ^ but Mrs. Tom-Ri-Jon would
not by any means consent to this Innovation on her
style of malting up goods. The matter was settled
amicably, however, and Mts:^ Merton concluded that
she would stay and board wikh the family until the
suit was fl.nished.
But it seems that Minnie's stay in the house, how-
ever i^^'eable it may have I been to herself was not
at till pleasing to Mr. and Mrs. Tom-Ri-Jon, The
*■ Doctor "I says that Minnie occupied all her time,
morning, noon, and night, discoursing upou the doc-
trine of free-love, of whit-h she was a prominent dis-
cipie, and by this means corrupting not only the mor-
als of himself and wife, but of his family. The even-
ing before last the affair came to a climax,
by Minnie leaving tiie ! house, taking away
the suit of cloiljes, and neither paying for her
newlv-made suit nor her board during her stay at
Mr. Tom's mansion. The "Doctor." who could not
see things in this light, followed up Minnie and had
her placed in rather uncomfortable quarters for the
nicht.
Mi8S Merton was Introduced to Justice Smith yes-
terday at the Tombs Police Court, and upon that
gentleman asking her what she hmi to say for her-
self, replied that she owed Mr. nnd Mrs. Tom-Ri**Ton
nothing. She added that while in the house she per-
formed varinns household functions — wa.shing-dl«he»
and the like — and she conirtdered that ■ the Bervlftfii
thus rendered were more than equiva ent to the
price of her clothes and board. The court inquired
of Minnie if she had over lived In a iree-love commu-
nity, 'if she was a free-lover, and what was
her idea iq changins; her usual style of
dress. Minnie, lawyer-like, renlled sharply that
she thoueht snch questions totally irrelevant to the
point at issue. Justice .Smith was of the opinion that
Minnie did n(^t owe Mr. or Mrs. Tora-Ri-Jon any-
thing, nor did |Mr. or ilrs. Tora-Ri-.Ion owe Minnie
anything, at the same time tcllini; Miss Merton that
if she felt aggrieved in any way. or wanted to recover
the clothes, she could only do so by a civil process.
Minni^ was of; the opinion that they were making a
mouuudn out of a mole-hill, and wound up by sayluR
that she would make Mr. Tom-Bi-Jon a present of
the suit.
Mrs. Tom-Ri-Jon came into court attired in a light
tweed coat, dark vest, and pants of material some-
what similar tf> the coat. While In court she was the
centre of attraction, her gait and bearing being in
Btriking!contmst to her drowsy-looking husband.
I THE GUNSER MURDER.
FIGHT AT AN EAST WILLI-AMSBTTRQ CHimCH
PICNIC — ONE MAN SERIOUSLY INJURED —
HIS ANTE-MORTEM STATEMEN'T.
The people of En.st "WllUamsburg are divided
on the qnestio]! of " Who killed John Gunser }" and
it has given rise to snch bitter feeling that at the
picnic of the East Williamsburg Lutheran Church,
Rev. Louis Etitner. Pastor, on Wednesday, the two
parties came together and fought a pitched battle in
the grove on Fresh Pond road. Several persons re-
ceived slight injuries, and Qeorge Schmelzer, an
ardent defender of Mrs. Gunser, such serious ones,
that his life is despaired of. On Thursday Justice
Marshall took his ante-mortem depo.'iition. In sub-
stance, as follows:
■' While at the picnic I took part In the (teneral con-
versation which waK nearlv all confined to the murder
of .iohn (.hinspr. and who did It. I malntfdned that the
barber Idllcfl hlim. and 1 M*an bfst4-'n for It ; the 'inIy man
thnt 1 saw Btrlke me was Ueortre Han^mann. Ho
kn'"-ke<^ me down, and I heanl some om- »ny, aa I fell,
'kill him.' When down 1 wbj» struck aKu^n. but lO'itne

Schmeieer w as remnvc<l from the picnic grounds to
Mrs. Gunisers residence until monilng. and was then
taken fjome. about '-(H) y.-.riLs westward. An eye-
witness who <1 escribes the tlji)it said it was the most
bitter conflict that has ever taken pLicc i» the villnKC.
At the picnic everWbini; passed off plcmantly until
this skeleton vns tlirustinto the festivities, nnd from
that moment harmony w.is lost. The church people
and their friends sepamted into two factions — the
GuoRerparty and the Mi«'hel party — the latter being
in the majority. The first faction insists that Michel
Is the murderer, and the second that Mrs. Gunser
killed her hui^bnnd. On this issue the wonJy battle
was maintaiiied until almnt 7 o'clock in the evening.
after wjhlch the feeling ran higher and a fight c(mi-
menced between Hansmnnn nnd Schmoizer, in which
some 20 or 30 joined, and when it ended Schmoizer
was left lying «n the ground bathed in blood from
cuts or| his bend nnd fwe. the other participants ac-
cepting as their punishment during the fracas con.
tusions, hlsrk even, and bloody noses. The nicnlo
broke up witli the flzht, and while one party went off
boastiag that! Michel would be released in the morn-
ing the other party took Hchmeizer up on a shutter
and carried him to Mrs. Gunser's hotel.
A BOLD COSFIDE.VCE GAME.
Prederico Tuentcs, a resident of La Paz, in
the Republic of Bolivia, arrived In this City on June
4 last in tbe steamship City of Chester, from Liver-
pool, bringirg with him a number of trunks con-
taining jewelry and other valuable articles, wliich he
intended to tpke with him to South America, after a
brief sojourn in the Sletropolis. Tuentcs, who was
unable to speak English and was ignorant of the
laws of this countrj'. was met on . the
landing upon his arrival by Victor Allain, who
statedT to him in French that he [Allain J
was an Interpreter for the hotel he [Tnentes] was
?oine to, ana also an as;ent for the rlrie Railroad
Company, and then informed him that it would bo
necesskrj- fo^ him to pay i^l.TOOCustomsduty on the
goods he had! brought in the trunks, and volunteered
to pay the duty If he would give him the money.
Believing Al^am's representations, Tnentes advanced
the money, whereupon Allain told him he "could go
to his hotel and It would be all right." Some 10 days
ago Allain again presented himself to Tueutes, and
saying, " I &ive saved you about $300," demanded
that he should be paid that amount, either
in cash Or in merchandise. The demand
was not..complied with, and Tuentes having dis-
covered that Allain's representations that duty would
have to be paid were false, and having ascer-
tained that he had appropriated the $1,700 to his
own use, commenced a civ£l stut agaipst him for the
recovery of the money. An order of arrest was
Issued in the suit, and on Thursday night last ^lain
was taken into custody by a Deputy Sheriff, and was
lodged in Lndlow-Street Jail where he now lies
awaiting trial."^

An Important election was held in Nyack;
Kew-York, on Tuesday last, to determine whether
the village inoozporation I should continue or be dls-
flolvedr The election waij called in pursuance of the
general laiw relating to incorporated villages, and re-
sulted In favor Of dislnebrporation by a vote of 282
to 71. Thns ends a long and angry agitation of a
question that haa at tiines well nigh convulsed the
people 9f Nyacki This village was incorporated about
five years ^Lgo, by a vot« quite as emphatic as the one
given on Tuesday. It was believed that a population
of 5,000 souls cpuld be! best governed under incor-
poration, and sot the experiment was tried- It was
not long, howevjpr, before it was found an expensive
and nnpoi^iilar undertaking. The management be-
came looe^ and profiigaie. i Speculations arose under
pretended! imprtivQments, and burdensome taxation
followed, in reti»rd"for which the people derived lit-
tle or no beneflti Jobs | vrere concocted under the
familiar gtiise of assesistnents for street improve-
ments, sojthat ih the course of a couple of years not
less than $50,000 was ijio , hotter than squandered.
Sanitary provisions were little considered, and Police
regulati n*! practically ignored- In order to protect
life and property aeainst the incursions or , river
thieves, private watchmen had to be employed by
tbe citizens, notwithstanding full power was vested
in the board o ■ officers to create an efficient constabu-
lary force. In view of this state of things, steps
were taken nearly two years ago to discontinue the
Incorporation. An application was made to the
"CTustees by a majority of the voting population for
a special election to vote the incorporation out of ex-
istence, but the board refused, in the face of their
plain duty under the law. to order the election. Re-
cource was then had to the courts for a mandamus,
which was issued promptly, and upon the re-
turn of ' tbe order was as promptly sus-
tained. A day was accordingly fixed for the
election, whereupon an i injunction was sued for
to restrain the people froik voting, and on the 'day
appointed for the vote the injunction was served.
Dtfented temporarily, the people went to thecourts,
and. In turn, the courts dissolved the injunction :
but for further delay an appeal was taken to the
Court of Appeals. Foreseeing defeat, the principal
adherents of the incorporation went to the Legislat-
ure of 1870 with a special bill aiming to de-
prive the people o: the right to vote, and faiiins to
secure the enaotmi nt of tlieir scheme that year, tney
renewed thi&ir atte npt last Winter with more suc-
cess. A law; was passed; making it impossible sub-
stantially to dislnc orporate, but Gov. Robinson de-
clined to approve ; t. upon the ground that it was a
species of special Ic^slation, and withal vexatious.
(ailliig thus to t iwart the will of the people and
nbridee their right \. tbe inroporationists surrendered,
and thus, after tw ) years of arrimonlona contest, tbe
matter was "tnd* d on Tuesday as above stated.
Nyack will now r< turn to prst principles, nnd if any
more'propoMitions are offered tor incorporation the
cost will first ibu wlell weifjhed.

that all disorder and lawlessness here should bo pre-

GOLD MIXES IX GUATEMALA.
Recent reports from Guatemala indicate that
a new source of wealth may shortly be added to the
already .great riches of that jwrtion of Central
America. Some time ago gold washings in very con-
siderable quantities were found in the Department of
Izabal on the Bobos River, and considerable quanri-
ties of gold from this location reached the City of
Guatemala from time to time. Attention came to be
thus directed to the matter, and President Barrios
determined on a personaV investigation. Taking
with him Gen. T. B. Bunting, of the Army of Guate-
mala, he visited the placers last Spring. The inspec-
tion . of them wni necessarily somewhat superficial,
but it was sufficient, it is stated, to indicate
unusual richness. and an extent covering
about 27 miles square. The placers were found to
be on land belonging to the Government, well tim-
bered and water^, near the .\tlantic coast, and with-
in some 10 miles of steam-boat navigation. The
Grovemment at once determined on steps for the de-
velopment of this propertv. nnd accordingly Presi-
dent Barrios commissioned Gen. Bunting to visit the
I'nited States, and if possible procure from the Gov-
ernment the services of a thordujehly practical min-
ing ^gineer who would go to Guatemala, examine
the newly discovered gold region, and make an ei-
bautttive report- on the subject. Gen. Bunting is now
in New- York in pursuance of his mission. It appears
that he is also authorized by his letter of instructions
to treat with capitalists for the opening up and
working of these mines, either "by toe sale of the'
lands or by the formation of a company, in which the
Government of Ghiatemala would retain an interest.
Gen. Williamson, Minister Resident of the tJnited
State at Ouatemnla, has addressed a letter'tb the
State Department at ■Washinffton eoneeming Gen.
Bunting's mission. In the absence of Secretary
EvartR, no further move has been as yet made in the
matter.

London, .\iig. 11. — The news from the
ceat of war to-day is so conf nsed and so indefi-
nite that it is almost Impossible to sift the truth
from the great mass of dispatches constantly
arriving. There are many uncertain reports
of battles, but nearly as soon as they arrive de-
nials come from one side or the other,
as the ca^e may be. The Russians are
determined * not to allow the truth
to come out when they are defeated,
while the Turkish Generals are maintaining a
discreet silence in regard to all movements of
the slightest importance, whether they result
successfully for their side or otherwise. When
they are obliged to talk, they dilate at great
length on the multitudinous reports of Russian
atrocities. In other respects, it is noticeable
that they are conducting operations with dis-
creet reticence.
That very important movements are on
foot is certain. The correspondent of The
Kew-Yobe Times at Adiianople sends an as-
surance by telegraph to-day tnat the decisive
battle of the campaign will be fought at Bogaz
Pass, notwithstanding the fact that an ofScial
telegram from Suleiman Pasha says the result
of a reconnoissance by the Imperial Turkish
troops demonstrates beyond a doubt chat there
are no Russian soldiers at the entrance to the
Pass.
Small preliminary skirmishes between the
Turks and the advancing or retreating Russians
are of almost daily occurrence, and doubtless
form the basis for the numerous and exag-
gerated reports of battles which have been
telegraphed during the last day or two.
Near Shumla. on Wednesday last, the
Turkish General, Abraham, defeated 17
companies of Ru.ssian infantry, and 1,000
horse. On the same day an attack was made by
a large force of Russians on the town of Yaillak,
near Osman Bazar-- The Russians were re-
pulsed, but with what loss is not stated.
Charges and countercharges of atrocities
continue to pour in from both sides, and both
eeem to coDtain tne elements, at least, of truth.
There is no doubt that this is the most cruel
war in the history of the world. Reprisals
are tnade ruthlessly by both Russians and
Turks.
The British Parliament will break up
next week without asking the vote of credit
to meet extraordinary expenditures, the recent
Russian defeats having altered the situation so
much that it is deemed unnecessary. For the same
reason Ausftia is becoming more settled in her
policy of neutrality. Nevertheless, politically con-
sidered, the crisis is thought by far-seeing
Statesmen to be exceptionally dangerous at the
present moment. This is owing to the intrigues
of Prince Bismarck with the Governments of
Austria and Italy and his thorough understand-
ing with the Russian Czar,
The oiirrespcndent of the DnOy Nnef, who is
high in favor "with the RiLssian militarv , au-
thoritie.s states in his paper to-day that the re-
inforcements for the Russian Army will require
more time to reach the front than was at first
supposed, and that consequently it will
be impossible to conclude the war dur-
ing the present year, Tr at, battles
will be fought, he says, b\it only
north of the Balkan Jlountaies, The hope en-
tertained by the Russians of being able to ad-
vance on Adrianople at once has been post-
poned, and the aim of the Russian Grenerals
now is to sweep Bulgaria, north of the Balkans,
clear of the Turkish armies. The passes
iof the Balkans are to 1>6 held at
all haiiards, a strong position be-
ing taken up for tins purpo.se at
Kasanlik. The necessity for thus restricting
operations south of the Balkans arises from
the serious aspect of affairs north of that range.
The Russian armies there are unable to move,
and must wait for reinforcements. One hun-
dred thousand men are now on the way .
to the scene of operation*. In accordance
xrith this view, the blow which the
Russians intended in give Osman Pa.sha"s
army cannot be struck, because troops are not
available in sufficient numbers. The right
Sank of the Russian Army is sufficiently pro-
tected, but the means for renewed offensive op-
I fratlons are utterly inadequate. The Sexes, cor-
j respondent gives specific reasons why the Rus-
sians are not in a position to strike at the forces
j of Eyoub Pasha and Mehemet AH Pasha. At
aest they can only stand on the defensive and
hope for better luck.
The correspondent of The New-Yobk Tdies
it Bucharest telegraphs that the Russian Gen-
eral Schildner-Schnldner will be summoned be-
fore a cotirt-martial for trial on charges of neg-
lect of duty and general incapacity. He had no
outposts in the rear of his position
when surprised at Plevna on the 19th
1 at July, and he allowed his first brig-
ade to be repulsed on the 2(>th and
destroyed on the 23d, because he did not order
in advance of his reserve forces. Gten. Krud-
nerwill also be com t-jiartialed for neglecting
*o take possession of the defiles through which
Dsman Pasha's reinforcements passed on the
38th of July, and for the general
incapacity disphiyed by him in the
sombats of the 29th and 30th of Jtdy. On the
other side, Abdul Kerim will be cotu^martialed
for utter worthlessness, and Eschridt Pasha for
Mtempting to sell the Turkish position at Rus-
tchuk to the Russians, after the manner of
Yousseouf Pa-sBa at Varna, in the war
of 1828. Russia is hardly justified in
her scapegoats, for they did exactly
what they were told to do, but the fact remains
that somebody must be disgraced for the in-
glorious defeats before Plevna, at Rasgrad,
Silistri* and Eslci Saghra— all of which are im-
[ portant victories to inscribe on the Turkish
I banners.
Reports come from Vienna to-day of a panie
I tb^ushoot Bosnia. Additional troous are bfling
hurried pell-mell to the Danube ; the religi 3us
eommunities are hastily packing and send Ing
their valuables to Austria, fearing that t ley
will be confiscated in the general
levy for money, and there is an increasing 1 Bal-
ing of tmetoiness in Russian Poland. Ru ssia
fears to withdraw more troops from that p ev-
ince, as it will reanire a strong hand to 1 eep
down the revolutionary movement in the p res-
ence of the continued Turkishi snccesses uid
the exhatistive drafts of men and mo ley
to sustain the war. Nevertheless, then is
much enthusiasm at Moscow and at St. Pet 9rs-
burg for war. The Imt>erial Russian Gui rd,
consisting of 64,000 infantry and cavalry rill
follow the force of 48,000 men, with : !50
cannon, already on the way to the
seat of war. The subtirbs of the
Russian capital are studded with tents, and the
city itself is full of martial sounds, Inciden ; to
the wartlike preparatioiis. A force of 185,1 tOO
Landwehr is nearly ready to start for the fr mt,
and there is every indication that Russia is de-
termined to justify the general belief in hei ul-
timate success.

" Alexandeopol, Adg. 9. — The Turkish t ght

A STATEMENT IN TH^ HOUSE OF COMMONS
INDICATIVE OF .(n EASIER FEELI> G — A
QUESTION WHICH SIR STAFFORD NC RTH-
COTE DECLINED ^^0 ANSWER.
London, Aug. 1 1 .^In the House of Com-
mons last night Mr. Charles Monk, L beral
>Iember for Gloucester City, persis cntly
pressed the questioti on the Goven ment
whether they would consider the tcmnora y oc-
cupation of Constantinople by the Rissian
troiips so far inconsistent with British int ;resta
as to disturb the relations of amity be ween
England and Russii. Though Sir St ifford
Xorthcote, Chancellor of the Exchequ« r, re-
fiLsed to answer thLs hypothetical quest on, it
had the effect of drawing from Right Hon.
William Edward Fo^ster, Liberal memt sr for
Bradford, a -statement expressive of the g -eater
confidence which is ' felt bj^he Opposit ion of
the improbability of England's becomii g in-
volved in war. Mr. Forster said: *'Spf iking
for myself and others, we shoiUd not have
yielded to the Government's desii 3 to
avoid debate on the Eastern qu tstion
if we had any | reason to fear that
the Government | were likely during
the recess to drag thei country into war, jr in-
volve it in any breach of neutrality. We have
most carefully considered everything the t has
been written and said by the Govern: aent ;
and. looking at their last dispatches, w s feel
con-vinced that they! intend to abide bf the
policy of strict neutrality. That beinj the
case, I do not think it necessary to d< more
than remind them "f the heavy respons bility
under which they liel"' This statement seems
indicative of the easier feeling generallv >rera-
lent, which is largely due to Earl fie wons-
field's recent statemeiit in the House of Lc rds.

Deeb LoipoE, Montana, Aug. 11— 9 A. M.—
W. H. Edwards has just arrived from Big Hole,
bringing accpi^nt.s of a terrible battle between
GeiL Gibbon's Command and the Xez Perifts, on
the Big
Hole ' River, Aug. 8. Gibbon's com-
regulars.
mand, consisting of 182 men, (11 officers. 133
siJd
32 citizen volunteers.) crossed
over from I Ross Hole on Wednesday.
Starting at 1 1 o'clock the same night, they
moved down all of the troops, with
the exceptiotl of a few left to guard
the traispbrtation a few miles above,
close to tie Indian camp, which was on the Big
Hole, about three miles below where the Bitter
Root and Biinnock trail crosses. At daylight
the fight opened by the volunteers firing on an
Indian g'>ing after the horses. The charge was
then macle on the camp, and some hard fighting
took place in t^e next two hours, during which
time lirje numbers of men and Indians were
killed. "^he soldiers then charged
the lodges,' biit were repulsed. The Indians
then attempted to cut the soldiers
from n high wooded point ; but the
latter charged; beating back the Indian advance
from the point, which they held and at once
fortified. Fighting continued all day. and was
still progressing fitfully when the courier left at
1 1 o'clock. The fighting was de.spcrate on both
sides, the full force of Indians lK>ing in the
fight. Capt, Logan and Lieut, Bradley were
killed. Gen.i Gibbon, Capt. Williams, and
Lieuts. Coolidge, English, and Woodruff were
wounded — Gen. Gibbon slightly. Lieut Brad-
ley was the first man killed.
The mssseniier says that after they failed to
capture the lodges the Indians moved their
camp off in tlie direction of Bannock. All of
their hoi ses W( 're captured, and the messenger
had to c >me to French Gulch, nearly (iO miles,
on foot Ano' her messenger was sent to How-
ard, whc should have r<<ached there to-day.
The h< itritze r had been left six miles behind,
and was ordered to be nioved up at daylight
During Ihe fight they heard it discharged twice,
and thet it was silent A band of Indians soon
after ajpearei with a number of horses,
and it is believed that all the horses
of the coiimand, the gun, supplies,
and reserve ammunition were captured.
When Ihe courier loft Gen. Gibbon thought
he still had 100 effective men, and believed
that nei irly 1 11 of the Indians had withdrawn
from hi. front. The mes-scnger .says he thinks
100 Indians were killeil. and that nearly half
of the ' jommand, including the citizens, were
killed 01 wouiided. Gen. Gibbon has sent for
medicines, surgeons, supplies, &c. Dr. Mitchell
will leave to-day with an escort. Gen. Gibbon
particularly asks for ambulance wagons to come
under escort, and every available wagon will go
forward from here and Butte.
This is one of the hardest Indian fights on
record, and Gen. Gibbon's command made a
most gallant and desperate fight again st over-
whelming odds.
Deek Lodge, Aug. 11—10 A. M.
To Gov. Potts :
We have all the men we want here to escort
wagons. We are ru.shing out wagons, .stores,

^teciat Dispatch to the yew-York Timeg.
Reading, Penn., Aug. 11. — The Fourth
Be^ment, National Guard, of Pennsylvania,
10 companies, under command of Brig.-Gen.
Frank Reeder, arrived here at 3 P. M. They
were obliged to foot it through the streets, as
the Lebanon Valley Bridge was not quite fin-
ished. The city was sparsely decorated with
bunting in honor of the returning soldiers. A
committee of citizens, preceded by the city
comet|band, escorted the regiment through the
city tof the Reading depot, where Company A,
Reading Bifies, of this city, were dismissed. The
remainder took the trains for their respective
destinations. It was uoticeable that not a cheer
of welcome went up from the crowds on the
streets' and sidewalks. Some significance is at-
tached to this, as all the other regiments which
have returned to their homes have been ban-
queted to repletion. The Fourth Regiment
had the unenviable duty of firing into the mob
on the 23d of July.
THE CANADIAN BOUNDARY.
Ottawa, Aug. 11.— Mr. W. B. Enssell,
of the Department of tiSt^Interior, who accom-
panied Mr. Hunter to the Stickeen Biver, and
assisted that engineer in surveying the interna-
tional boundary, has prevared an elaborate mao

LOSS OF A PACIFIC STEAMER

PARAISO— ^DREADFUL SUFFERINGS OF PAS-
SENGERS ON THE ROCKS — INABILITY TO
SA.TE THEM OTYINQ TO STORMY 'WEATHEB
— THEORIES REGARDING THE DISASTER.
Panama, Aug. 2, — From Chili we have
news of the loss of the Pacific Steam Navigation
Company's steamer Eten, about 70 miles north
of Valparaiso. Our correspondent, writing from
Lima, July 20, says : "We have advices of the
total loss of the Pacific Steam Navigation Com-
pany's steamer Eten, Capt. Coathupe, on the
morning of the 15th inst., at a point known as
'•Los Vilos," about 70 miles north of Valpa-
raiso. According to the meagre telegrams re-
ceived, there must have been considerable loss
of life, as 14 dead bodies had been recovered.
Forty-three of the crew and passengers had
reached the shore in safety, and 20 were still
on the rocks ; all efforts were being made to res-
cue them. The English war steamer Amethy.st
and the Chilian gun-boat Chacabuco proceeded
immediately to the assistance of the unfortu-
nates. The cause of the disaster has not been
reported. The Eten, 1,853 tons register, was
built by Laird on the Clyde in 1871, at a cost of
£47,750. She was an iron screw propeller.
The following telegram is from the office of
the company in Callso :
Skhena, Chili, July 18— (Received at Callao,
July 20. ) — The Amethyst arrived from the scene
of the wreck at about 3 P. M. to-day, unable
to rescue the surrivors from the rocks, owing
to bad weather. The Chacabuco was also
unable to render them any assistance, it being
unsafe to attempt a rescue with small boats.
The Chacabuco is on her way to Valparaiso.
Survivors on rocks, owing to exposure and want
of food, threw themselves into the sea to end
their misery. Only three saved.
A letter dated on board the steam-ship Lima
at Callao, July 21, .says : -The details of the loss
of the Eten are very meagre. Out of the crew
(67 all told) and passengers there are probably
saved 63. There could not have been less than
from 90 to lOO passengers, as she was the in-
termediate boat. The losses of life, therefore,
may be estimated at about 100 persons. To
account for the loss of the Eten
various theories are advanced. None ■ of
them assume for a moment any want of
attention, care, or skill, on the part of the com-
mander, who probably is among tho.se whoso
lives were ended in the distressing catastrophe.
He was one of the most prudent and painstak-
ing commanders in the serx-ice, and was es-
teemed and admired for his manliness, devotion
to duty, and high moral worth. The most rea-
sonable theory of the loss of the Eten is that ad-
vanced by Capt. Mills, of the Lima. He reports
continual disturbances of the sea. with a very
strong shore set which nece.ssitate constant
watchfulness on the part of commanders and
officers, and in numerous instances the ship's
coarse has to be changed to keep off the
coast. On the last trip but one this was
particularly the case ; indeed, ever since the
10th May (the day of the earthquake and tidal
wave) these disturbances have been very con-
siderable, and on the present trip up were noted
as being as strong as ever. The day on which
the Eten went to sea was foggy and rainy, and
it was difficult to make out objects on shore, or
ascertain the bearings of prominent points. It
Ls possible that Capt. Coathupe (P. G.) did
not observe the strong shoreward set of the sea.
and so ran among the rocks at or about Los
Vilo.s, a very dangerous point. Earthquake
shocks are frequent and the sea at many points
was exceedingly rough."
The Times of the 19th has the following :
"List of persons saved from the Eten up to 10
.\.. M. on the ISth inst.: Twenty -four of the
crew, including .second and third officers, (.Stev-
enson and Bennett) third engineer. (Houston.!

Philadelphia, .4.ug. 11. — ^A large meet-

which it was agreed to organize a new political
party, to be named " The Working Men's Pro-
tective Party." The men who were
instrumental in this movement are
nearly all members of the Typographical TTnion
of this city, Mr. William B. Eckert, who pre-
sided, being for some years President of the
Union. A prominent editor of this city framed
the resolutions on which the platform of the
party is based, which asserts that in consequence
of the depression -of labor by capital, the
working men ^eem legislation for them-,
selves necessary. As it stands at present
the movement is weak, there being no one con-
nected with it having funds to carry on a cam-
paign. A fu.sion with the other labor organiza-
tions would make it very strong locally, and en-
danger the .success of the party tickets here.

have had for their object the emanciniition of the
working classes, owing to the mauifold divisions in

tion oi" labor.
The speeches made were of a conservative
character. A communistic communication from
the Working Men's Party of the United States
was offered to the meeting, but was tabled
unanimously. After the appointment of a com-
mittee, composed of delegates from the trades
represented, to draft a plan of organization, the
meeting adjourned.

and Germany have further stiflFened the rates

bills 1>eing seldom taken below 1 L, to l^yper

to have increased, and short loans are obtaina-
ble at less than 1 per cent. The disposition is
to prepare against dearer money. As«'tha
result of an efflux of gold from this
market, which seems likely to con-
tinue, in the present condition of
exchanges, fon'ign gold is taken from the Bank
of England for Paris, bar gold i-i taken chiefly
to Germany, and nothing is shipped from
America, the effect being that the sniall .$ux>-
plies arriving are waylaid, ami tlie liank re-

mands, internal and foreign, which nitsit be ex-
pecte^l to rontinut' at tliis part of the ywar. Th«
feature of the stock markets this week luisbeea
a decline in Rimsians, which was only remark-
able for its unusual persistence, not its -extent.
The .successes of the l^irks. and perhaps the
fear of dearer money, have mcouraged oper-
ators for a fall to sell freely. With,
this exception the tendency of prices
in speculative markets was upward
at the beginning of the week, even 'Turkish
stocks having risen on the strenffth.of some
pas-sing rumot^i of i>caoe. The basis for such,
rumors is scarcely discoverable, but the resist-
ance of the Turks gives color to the conceptioa
that loans by countries surh as Austria will be
le-«s likely to be i.sf«ue<i for purpos«'K of military
intervention, and that is sora«^ rational ground
for the maint^fuanre of prices. Business of all

LoSDOW, S»tjQd»y, July 28, 1877.
At the close of every London season it is
always declared fcy somebody or other to have
been doll, U not a complete faUure. It is
pointed oat onea more by oxperianesd kiAita&
that we have this year had an imnsaaQy had
time. The long abaence of the Priaoe and
Princess of Wales on the Continent d Eorope,
and the postponement of the State entertain-
ments on account of the dea& of tibe Qaeen of
the Netherlands, checked the earlier and later
gayeties of the period. Much al this wu to
have been redeemed by the Prince and Princess
giving a grand closing baU at Harlborongh
HoDse. The untimely Illness of il'rineo Albert
Victor will prevent this brilliant Jlnale of a dnU
comedy. Such Is the gossiD of the very " up-
permost " of the upper ten, who farther point
tmt that half a dozen ducal houses have not given
dances this year, and diat neither the French,
Austrian, nor Bnssiail Embassies have given
a single ball between them. Of eoone these
gossips being aeeustomed to bask in the sunshine
of royalty, ore not satisfied with the delights of
a Mayfair upon which Queens and Princesses
are not smiling all the time. They even forget
that the season was onened by the Queen of
England herself, a circumstance for general con<
p^tulation ; and that the State entertainments
have nearly all taken place, thotigh they were .
postponed for a short time whUe royalty paused
to weep over a royal bier. Moreover, the hos-
pitalities of Grosvenor House, Dudley House,
the garden parties at Marlborough House and
Holland House, the Ministerial entertainments,
the TVest End receptions, have all been on a
very imposing scale. The Honing Post and The
Queen have never had their columns more
crowded with lists of balls, dinners,
dances, and kettledrums ; the toilets
of hostesses and guests have never been more
alaborately described. Then, for the lions of
the time, we have had the ex-President of the
United States, the Chinese Ambassador, the
Japanese Ambassador, the usual Princes of
India, Midhat Pasha, the erratic Schouvalott,
the velvet-robed Envoy of Eashgar, and a
score or two of minor lions, all' going to and fro
among society, and making It picturesque as
well as Interesting. Ascot and the Oaks had
more gorgeous crowds of visitors than I have
ever seen before ; the coaching meets have
been magnificent ; the Bow has been crowded
all the time; Bond-street has been blocked
every day ; the picture galleries have increased ;
the sales at Christie & Manson's have included
£ome of the most remarkable art collections of
the day ; Horliugham has been brilliant ; the
Orleans Club has given a new zest to aristocratie
life ; two opera-houses have been running along
payly since April,and the scandals of the period are
almost worthy of the davs of Charles IL What
more could society possibly require I Don"t be-
lieve the lugubrious reports o;^ "^Wos^ swells —
the season has been a great success, and it will
wind up as usual next week with Ooodwood,
which promises to be more than usually gay.
The grand stand and lawn are said to have nn-
iergone improvements, and a variety of changes
iave been made in the interests of the luxurious
:hrpng who go to Kee and be seen. The lawn
aext week will present a scene of beauty and
dress which no capital in the world can excel,
for London draws for these displays upon
Christendom. Every land sends Its flowers to
deck the lawn at Goodwood Park.
What a contrast to the condition of Constan-
linople jiLst now ! Day by day the reports come
tn of the gradual advance of the Russian troops,
ind thereisafeverLsh excitement at Portsmouth
ind Woolwich. It is reported that Lord Beacons-
aeld wanted to send out a large force of troops
when the additional ships were dispatched a few
weeks ago, and that the question was really put
lo the vote of the Cabinet, and lost by one. But
these reports must be taken wil^ a grain of salt.
A Cabinet council Is one of tiie most secret of
secret assemblies, and the Ministers are bound
by an oath not to reveal what takes place.
State secrets do somehow leak out now and then,
to keep up the respectability of the old adage
that "walls have ears." I have had the privi-
lege on several occasions of reporting to you the
results of Cabinet councils, but I find them in
the orders which have been given to State De-
partments, where I have friends, immedi-
itely after the sittings of the Cabinet.
"T don't beUeve that Ministers leave
;h6 Council Chamber and talk about
tlie business proposed or accomplished, but chiefs
9f departments soon know when there are to
1)6 important movements of troops, and I have
aad little difficulty in giving your readers the
Srstnews of military and naval preparations.
The present orders for foreign service only con-
template additions of 10,00O men to those who
are already in the Mediterranean regions, and this
can hardly mean more than the intention of the
Ministers to be " in at the death." Authorities
whom I have reason to respect insist that the
destination of the forces which have goUe out
Is Gallipoli. and it may be so, though it cannot
be denied that the recent assurances of Prince
Sortchakofl constitute new bonds in the neu-
tral policy of the Government. Anyhow, Eng-
land is in a position to make her voice potent
In the final settlement, and the latest news from
the seat of war looks like the beginning of the
3nd. Abdul Kerim has proved either a traitor
}r a fool, and the Turks in Europe are begln-
!ng to fight a few weeks too late. This is the
ipinion of London, and people who have
friends and relatives at Coiistantinople are
inxious for their safety in prospect of a rush
of retreating Moslem soldiers into the capital of
the Sultans. ^
The Lord Mayor Is displeased and disappointed
ihat the annual eivie banquet to her Majesty's
Ministers is not to be attended by the chiefs of
the party. The dinner will be like the play of
"Hamlet" without the Prince. LordBeaeons-
Seld declined his lordship's invitation on the
score of ill-health, though it is pretty well un-
derstood that the Premier has recovered from
his recent indisposition. But lK>rd Derby and
Lord Salisbury have also not accepted the Lord
Mayor's invitation. The city, however, has
sense enough not to regard this as a slight to
the Lord Mayor or the glorious institution
v.hieh he represents. The times are ticldish.
Civic banquets offer tempting inducements to
post-prandial oratory. Ministerial reserve ii
best maintained at St. Stephens. Lord Salis-
bury; as a marked man, would feel bound to
explain his conduct to a loyal assemblage of
Englishmen sitting boieath the historic roof of
Ouildhall. Lord Derby prefers frankness to
tlie politic silence his eoUeagues would possibly
demand. So it is better that the minor
iignitaries of State should be left to
the influences of the time ; tljey cannot
lo iiiueh hanp, because they will speak rather
Ihejr individual sentiments than the opinions of
the Ministry. Civic institutinns do not require
the popular indorsement of Ministers ; there-
fore, they are not dimmed by the absence of the
Chief of the Government at the Lord Mayor's
table. The father* of the Corporstiott of Lon-
lon can take oafe of tbanudves, and they have
lust given a splendid proof of tbair iatoitlon

Mr. Gladstone is publishing another defense
of Russia, combatting the atrocities, evldenee of
which has been laid before Parliament. A curi-
o\ifi corollary to his recent action is the language
of the declaration of war which Mr. OhuUtone
and his Libersl colleague prepared for the
Queen's signature in 1854:
" Her JlaJMty faols called apoa byrejrardfor wa
any, tho intejrrity and independence of ■whose Em-'
pire bAve been recognized &s esseuti&l to the peace of
Europe, by the Bympathiea of her people with right
agaiiut wrong, by a desire to avert from her dondn-
iona most injurionB consequences, and to save Europe
from the prepondeTanoe oif a power which has violat-
ed the the faith of treaties and defies the opinion of
the dviliied^world, to take op arms, in conjunction
with the Emperor of the French, for the defense of
the Sultan. Her Majesty is persuaded that in so
acting she will have the cordial support of her peo-
ple ; and that the pret&t of zeal for the Christian
relifflon will be used in vain to cover aa aggiesaion
undertaken In disregard of its holy precepts and of
itajpure and beneficent spirit."
In those' days Mr. Gladstone was in office.
T<|-day he stands like the Perl at the Gate. But
he is willing to make any sacrifice to pass the
watchful scrutiny of the porter of St Stephens.

'27EPHEW — HIS BENEFACTRESS THE VICTIM
OP POtJL BLAITDERS.
JVom. 0t4 LoncUm Timet, July 27.
At the Mansion House yesterday Mr. Henry
Ha wthom was brought before Alderman Sir Kobert
Carden, upon a warrant, charged with having on the
19th of January last unlawfully written aud pub-
lished a false, scandalous,' and defamatory libel of
and concerning Louisa Lady Ball, widow of SlrWil-
liain Keith Ball, he well-knowing it to be false. Mr.
George Lewis, Jr.. solicitor, conducted the prosecu-
tion; Mr. J. C. Smith, solicitor, appeared for the de-
fei^. Mr. Lewis, in opening the ease, said
Lady BaU was the aunt of the prisoner's
wife, who had before her marriaee lived with
Lady Ball for eight years and to whom Lady Ball
was still much attached. After the marriage, with a
view to assist her niece, she advanced to the prisoner
a sum of il.OOO to enable him to take a farm,
which he did. The prisoner got into diflBculties, and
Siif AVUliam and Lady Ball then became surety to a
bank for further advances made to him upon a bill
of isale. The result of that arrangement was that
th6 prisoner owed, and still continued to owe, over
£8(K> to Lady BaU. Afterward Lady Ball, out of
sheer kindness, took a house for the prisqper and
hi^ wffe and family, and. after Sir WUlmm's death,
lived with them and provided for the whole
estkbUshment. During thi« visit her niece
complained to Lady BaU of the prisoner's cruelty,
and told her he h^ j>awned her engaged ripe, and a
valoable gold watch given to her by Sir WiUiaih
Bail. To restore these articles to her niMe, Lady
Ball Bent a check for £5 to the prisoner's lm>ther to
got them out of pled^, aud when she obtained them,
she, with her uiece s sanction, retained them for
safety, and to prevent them being repawned. That
octhirred two years ago. The court would hardly
think it credible, but a few days ago — after a lapse,
as he had stated, of two years — the prisoner swore
an information against her at Alcester on a charge
of I stealing the daplicatea, and she was arrest-
ed, though ill at the time, and dragged in
custody for 10 hours to answer a charge which
was indignantly dismissed by the Bench. Mr. Lewis
wojdd have thought it impossible to find any mBgis-
trate who would have granted such a warrant, but
such a one was found lu the person of Capt. Gem^il,
of .A.lcfst«r. Tlio pri.«roner was now charged with
senjding libels on two post-cards to XaAv Ball's
brother, and with writing a letter to her which was
so grow that he could not read it in court. Sir Robert
Cftjpdcn. ha\-ing perused the letter in question, said,
indignantly, that it was a most infamous production.
Mr; Lewis added tlist Lady Ball, thonifh reluctant to
takje a step which would injure the prisoner's wife
and famUy. had felt compelled at last in self-defense
toihstitatethis prosecution against him. Mr. Raynhani
William Stewart, a solicitor, deposed that in January
las^ he, on behalf of Irfidy BaU, took proceedings
agaanHt the prisoner's brother to recover money ad-
vanced, on a bill of exchange. On the 19th of
January lie received a letter containing the alleged
lib^l, and which imputed immoral rondact to Lady
BalL Mr. WUliani Hanbury Yeats, a physician, said
Lady Ball was hii sister. On the 3d of June he
received a post-card from the prisoner in these
terms : "Con you inform me where your sister Lady
Ball is In lodgmgs, as she wUl sooner or later have
to J account for the diamond ring and eold
waich she obtained by false pretenses from
3IrJ Wood ?" On the I4th of June he
received another post-card in these terms : " I think
I have managed to cet on :o yoxir sister. Lady Ball's
track at last, and nope soon to wave her before the
beaiks at Moor-street, Birmingham, for ubtaining
goods from Mr. Wood under fafie pretenses." Bou
cards and the letter referred to hy Mr. Stewart were
In the prisoner's handwriting. llady Ball confirmed
3fr; Lewis' statement, adding mo.st erapliatically that
there was not the slightest truth In the assertions
made by the prisoner on the post-c.^rds and in the
letter. Tlie solicitor for the defense said he had no
questions to nsk L^dy Ball. Alderman Sir Robert
Oarden committed the prisoner for trial.
TEE BONAVARTIST SCHISM,
CASSAGNAC*S PROTEST AGAIX.ST THE POLICY
OP HIS PARTY — ROUHEB^S LEADERSHIP
— CASSAGNAC REBUKED BY HIS CON-
FRERES— HIS POOR OPINION OF THE
STRENGTH OP THE MINISTRY.
The Paris correspondent of the London Ttmes
telegraphed as follows on July 30 :
"Conflicting currents have of late been observable
among the Bonapaxtists. Not to speak of a few who
think, with M. Kaoul Duval, tliat the 16th of May
was a mistake, and that the experiment of a Re-
pabUe administered by Republicans should have
gone on uninterruptedly uhtU it resulted in a de-
cided snccess or a decided failure, there is a section
very exacting and reserved toward tho Cabinet,
and another section which is eager to support it
aud to make a liberal allowance for its difficulties.
M. Paul de Caasagnac, strangely enough, is the leader-
of this moderate wing. He strongly condemns the
conduct of several Bonapartists in becoming candi-
dates for constituencies where Royalists have prior
claims ; and the Oauloig having declared that there
was a total rupture between theBonnuariists and the
Royalists, he called upon the Ordre, as M. Itoaher's or-
fin, for authoritative contradiction of this statement.
he Ordre, which had been silent during the con-
troversy, was aroused by this appeal ; but though the
oracle spoke, it gave a very uncertain sound, in an
article manifestly, and now avowedly, inspired by
M. Rouher. It protested its moderate and conciliatory
attitude, and promised the Marshal its continued co-
opeimtion; but demanded, in return, that the
Government ■ should support Its candidates
w^herover they had evidently the best cbuice. It
wound up by warning the Royalists that its patience
might be exhausted, and the Government that by
submitting to such exigencies and appearing to en-
courage such violences its own catise would be im-
peril^. To this M. De Cassagnac replied in the
Pays tiiat the Ordre had better have kept silence than
given such a response ; that, instead of denying the
alleged rupture. It had rather leaned to the QauioU
than opposed it ; and that if the article repre-
sented the official programme of the party he
should refuse to foUow it, for it resembled the
fatal policy by which certain Bonapartists ^ve the
Republicans bO Life Senatorships. He added that
the Bonapartist Electoral Committee had no right
to pledge the party to the course indicated by the
Orare ; that it was nominated by the Bonapartist
members of the late Chamber, with amission of con-
ciliation to the Conservatives and devotion to the
Marshal ; that nine-tenths of the psrty thought as
he did ; that when the Emperor began his fatal re-
forms he I was the only objector ; that the Bona-
partists were parties to the 16th of May. and could
not now lekve it in the lurch ; and that the best way
to serve thie Empire was to serve Prance.
" This eyening the committee, viz., M. Booher, the
Duel de Padoue, and M. JoUbois, intervene In the
quarrel bylcondemning M. De Cassagnac. Tliey tell
hlmlhe has no idea of the difficulties and unwarnnta-
ble claims they are contending with, that he h&s In-
considerately interfered in their negotiations
at the risk of endangering their success, but
thal^ they will prosecute these negotiations with
condliation aud prudence, feeling sure that the result
wiU juitif^^ them in the eyes of their party. To-mor-
row wlU sliow what M. De Cassagnac says to this re-
buke, not the least piquant feature in the affair being
thati M. Diigue de la Fauconnerie, a leading Bonapart-
ist. until recently editor of the Ordre, warmly sides
with him. I
• ' Meanwhile, it deserves mention that M. De Cassag-
nac confesses this evening that he does not count
very confidently on a Conservative majority at the
elections; jthat a minority of 50 would be a signal
victory ; that M. Gambetta, ha\-in^ predicted the re-
turn of 400 Republicans, any considerably lower fig-
ure "ftfonld show the reduced Republican majority
that if they were not quiet a second dissolution would
dispose of them. To secure a Conservative majority,
M. De Cassagnac would require the state of sieee,
in order to bridle the press,- 'not to suppress the
Mot\d'Ordre and the LaTiteme — they are our best
auxiUaries and if they did not exist tney would have
to bb invented— but to silence the li^niiilique Fran-
fawi, the Tempg, the XlXeme. SiMe— in shorty all
the papers! which intercept our road and block our
whepls.' M. De Cassagnac pays the Ministry a very
poor compliment in saying that the Rocbefort papers
are Its induu)ensable auxiliaries, aad that unless the
Moderate [RepubUean papers are gagged, it cannot
win jthe elections." ^^^^^^^

SAiaaOGA, N. T., Saturday, Aug. 11. 1877.
The seeond Summer meeting of the Saratoga
Baeiog Association was opened to-day under the
moat favorable auspices. The trains aU day yester-
day iuid this morning brought huge crowds of people
to attend the raoes, filling the hotels and boarding-
houses to repletion. The weather wm aU that could
be desired for radng, and there was a eonUnuons
stream of vehicles on the road leading to
the course during the hoar preceding that
announced for the sport to begin. The
grand stand was crowded. The track was
in good condition, although not as fast as it was
on Thursday. The four races created a great deal of
enthusiasm, espedaUy among the outside public, as
only one of the favorites won. The knowing ones
were severely bitten, especially m the thhd race,
which was captured by Major Barker, the rankest of
outsiders. The mutual pools paid very laige sums,
the first race Pride of the VUlage paying $30 30 ;
second race, Parole, $9 80 j the third race, Major
Barker, $142 70, and the fourth race. Redding,
$19 60. The detUls of the sport are given below.
♦
THE RACING IN DETAIL.
THE KENTUCKY STAKES.
The sport began with the eighth renewal of
the Kentucky Stakes for 2-year olds, three-qnorters
of a mUe, which hod closed with 49 nominations,
and 14 of them were announced on the card as
probable starters. Five of these • belong to Pierre
LoriUard, and which of them he would actuaUy send
to the post was not known to those not in the confi-
dence of the stable untU the numbers went up In the
judges' stand. Those who backed the stable, there-
fore, were virtually "going it blind," but that he
would start his best was an assurance to the specu-
lators. When the jockeys weighed in,
the secret was out ; Pierre Lorillard's starters were
Spartan, who had not yet shown, wid Perfection.
The other eompetitors were Bernard's Wade Hamp-
ton and Telephone, McDaniel's Fawn, Puryeara
Clifton, George L. Lorillard's Doke of Magenta and
Albert. j\stor8 Pride of the Villsge, and Johnson So
Co.'s Bramble. In the pools just before the start
Pierre Lorilland's pair were the favorites at $300 ;
George Lorillard's, $230 Bramble, $160; Pride of
the\iUi«e, $140, and the field, $125. They were
started in the chute, and after a short delay the fiag
fell, and they were off to a somewhat
straggling start. Fawn was first, Pride of
the Village second. Perfection third, Wade
Hampton fourth, and Spartan fifth. Once under
woy doii-n the chute. Perfection rushed to the front
like a flash, with Pawn second, and then they were
speedily lost in a cloud of dust. "VXTien they turned
into the regular track at the half-mile pole they
could not be seen, but a little further on round the
lower turn Perfection was leading four lengths, and
seemed to have the race at her mercj'. Fawn wa»
stlU in the second place, a length in front of Pride
of the Village, with Spartan at her quarter, closely fol-
lowed by Bramble. Further on Spartan got even with
Pride of the VUlage, and the pair speedily closed to
the head of Fawn, but Perfection still kept the gap
open until she turned into the home stretch, when a
whipping race began. Perfection was losing ground
and Bramble rushed up to the second place, and be-
fore the lower end of the stand was reached be had
Perfection beaten and looked like the winner, but at
this Imoment up came Pride of the Village with a
fine l)ur8t of spfed, in the middle of the track, and
fol^ow-ing her oilLthe outside was the Duke of Ma-
genta. At the distance stand Pride of the
VUltee came rapidly to' the front, and imme-
diately .opening a gap as if the others were
standing still, won the race amid the greatest excite-
ment^ by three leneths in 1:1hJ4. There was a close
stm^le for second place, which was won by Duke of
Magenta, a neck In front of Bramble third, Spartan
fourth. Perfection fifth, and Fawn sixth. The vic-
tory of Pride of the Village was another well deaen-ed
one for Mr. Astor. and that it was popular could be
easily observed by tho applause ivhich greeted the
winner.
THE SLIMMER HANDICAP.
Now comes the grand event of the day. the Stun-
mer handicap for aU ages, one mile and three-
quarters. This had originally 47 nominations, but
40 of them had declared out, including Tom OchUtree,
who j had been handicapped with 129 pounds.
Seven were marked on the card as starters, but St.
James had been scratched last night, and it was
known thb» rooming that Viceroy would not put in
an appearance, so that when tho judges summoned
the horses to the track but five sported
silk, which were: Reed's Athlene, Loufirstafi's
George r\".. Lorillard's Parole. Doswell's
Busliwhacker, and William.s' Vera Crux. In the pools
befoiU the start Parole sold for $h00, Vera Cruz,
$470. Bushwhacker. ;p200, and the field, $105.
The distance being a mUe and three-quarters, they
werejmustered in the sectional traek, and they were
speedily sent on their journey, with George IV.
slightly leading Bushwhacker, the others being weU
togemer, the start being an excellent one. As they
ran down the chute George IV. kept in front, but be-
fore reaching the half-rafle pole as they turned into
the regular track Athlene had passed hun, but at the
momtnt they were obscured from sight by a dense
eloua of dust. On the lower turn Athlene and
George were racing for the track, but tb«?y
were i not going at a very fast rate, Ath-
lene 1 having a neck the best of it. Three
lengths behind the pair was Bushwhacker, and four
longt^s l.)ebindhim came Parole and Vera Cruz, wait-
ing an<i watching each other. \\Tien they turned into
the siretch Athl&ne appeared to have half a length
the bei*l of George, but when they passed tlie furlong
pole ihey wore eyen, and the rear ones were closing
up fast. When they reached tho stand, whidi fiii-
ionedl the first three-quarters of a nule in 1:20,
George was showing the way, a length in advance of
Athldue, who wa* only leading Btishwhackej
by a neck, whUe on either fiank of
the latter was Parole and Vera Cruz.
Going around the turn. Evans urgtni Geoi^toabetter
pare, land he increased his lead to a length and a
naif, but Parole closed up from behind, and speedily
assnised the second position, and be was closely fol-
lowed up by Vera Craz. Goinjr on, George stUl fur-
ther liicreased his lead to two lengths at the quar-
'terp'>|e. Parole holding the second place, but lapped
at tlid saddle-girth by Vera Cruz, who was now u
length and a half before Bushwhacker, who was lead-
ing Athlene a length. As they went along the
backstretch Parole forced the pate, and was
soon [lapping the quarter of George, whUe Vera
Cruz rushed up to Parole's shoulder ready to chal-
IcDg© for the home ruu. When tliey reached the
hnlf-i^iile pole George was still in the van, half a
lengtl)i before Paroie. who was the some distance
ahead of Vera Cruz, the three being thus lapped as
they began the run around the turn. Some five
lengths away from them was Bushwhacker, a length
ahead! of Athlene, botli of them hopelessly beaten.
As they came round the lower turn the race became
exciting, as Parole and Vera Cruz moved up
to the hfsd of George. and they com-
menced racing in earnest. Hayward then
took 4 pull on Parole, who dropped back until they
turned into the homestretch, when the pace became
too hCt for George, who began to falter, and Parole
was soon even with Vera Cruz. As they passed the
furlonlg pole George was receiving the wmp unspar-
ingly, |aud Vera Cruz began to falter, when Parole, yet
untouched, came to the front, and Sayers used every
effortjwith .whip and spur to get another spurt out of
Vera ^izpbut it was useless, and Paro^ won the
race easily by two lengths in 3:08. amid great cheer-
ing. Vera Cruz was four lengths ahead of GeorvelV.,
who was eight lengths behind Bushwhacker, be being
the s^me distance in advance of Athlene. The easy
manner in which Parole disposed of Vera Cruz dis-
heartened the Western men, who were not as jubi-
lant as on the previous days. The first mile of the
raeefvom the starting point to the quarter pole was
run in 1:47, and the last mile, from stand to stand,
in 1:48.
THE MILE AND A QUARTER.
The third event on the card was a free handicap of
a mile and a quarter for all ages, which proved to be
the most] disgustiog surprise of the meeting to the
knowing ones, as the old war horse, McDaniel,
whose stable had come to be despised, upset the pot,
and spoiled all the calculations of combination
makers. jThere were five entries, including Harbeck's
BertramJ Bowie's Mary, Pierre Lorillard's Bombast,
McDaniel's Major Barker, and Reed's Cardinal
Wolsey. This was considered a safe thing for Bomr
bast, but the result once i^oin demonstrated the un-
certainty of racing. It will be seen by the pools sold
that the catastrophe to the heavy betting men
was very great, as Bombast brought $900,
Wolsey $200, Bertram $200, Mary 175,
and Major Barker $110. They were started at the
three-quSrter pole after a couple of breaks away,
with Bombast and Bertram apparently In front.
When'thtey reached the furlong pole Bertram was in
the lead, I and reaching the judges' stand, he showed
a length in wlvance of Marj*, Bombast, and Wolsey.
who' were on even terms, two lengths in front of
Maiorj Barker. Going around the turn Bertram
still I held his lead, but Wolsey moved
up %o I him. and at the quarter pole
Bertram j was but half a length iu front
of Wolsey, who was the some distance before
Bombast, he leading .NJ ary by a length, with Major
Barket Btill in the rear. Going along the back
stretch Wolsey fell back, and Bombast went up to
the second place, and was leading him a length,
being ^t I the tail of Bertram. By the time they
reached the half-mile pole Bombast hod got to the
saddle^tth of Bertram, and Wolsey was lap-
ping Bombast, and a length behind came Major
Bark^, I just ahead of .Mary. When they
came ardand the lower turn Bombast cot to the head
of Bertram, and Wolsey fell back, while in tlie mean-
time Major Barker bade farewell to Man^, and ran up
third- When they turned into the home stretch
Bertramj and Bombast were together aud Major
Barker still third ; but at the furlong pole Bertram
wasb6at«n,$£dBombeatwasinthel6aa. luthemesu-
time, ho^fever, young Harvey plied the whip on Major
Barker ^th an unsparing hand, and he ran past
Bambast to the utter astonlsltment of every one.

in S:l2\, aad ereatiiig a most pvafouxid sensation ;

TBX STEBPl'E-CHASI.
The day's sport eonpladed with a handicap steeple-
chase over the usual course, which ended in a catas-
trophe to one of the jockeys and to the heavy specu-
lators. Tfaaze were ^ competloors, indadhig Trou-
ble, WeOflDT, Moonstooew Audubon, Bedding, and
Doubtful; and of this lot Waller was the
favorite, and bionght $325; Trouble, $300;
Bedding, $100, and the field $90. They were
, started as usual Ip the field on the east side of the
' fractional track, and when the flag fell Trouble was
in the lead, Doubtfol second. Moonstone third,
Waller and Audtibon together, with Redding in the
rear. The first obstacle was a stone wall, and
u they Jumped this Audubon collided vith
Waller, and tiie pair rolled over. Audu-
bon rose again and was remounted, but Waller
ran away and was finally caught tn the field,
whQe his jockey. Little, lay behind the wall severely
injured and unable to rise- Moonstone, in the mean-
time, had taken the lead and led Doubtful a length
over the second obstacle — a fence lower down
the sectional track— Trouble was third and
Redding fotnrth. In this order they took
the four sneceeding obstacles, until they
came to the north section of the water
jump in front of the grand stand, when Tronhle^^nd
Moonstone leaped it simultaneously, three lengths
ahead of Doubtful, third, and Bedding still lielng up
in the rear. The ninth and tenth jiunps were across
the rails of the chute, into the west field, when
Trouble pushed to the fronY, and showed a length
ahead of Moonstone, who was two lengths in front of
Doubtful, and Redding still fourth. Over the wall
they went, and then took the track rails, over the
turn near the quarter pole, and dropped down into the
outside ornortn field, when Redding assumed the front
position. Doubtful going up second, and Trouble third,
while Moonstone dropped back to the rear and four
lengths behind. Running up the incline In front of
Belmont's stable, which is oeyond the back stretch,
they took th.e big stone wall, with Redding three
lengths In advance of Trouble, who had passed
Doubtful and was leading him three lengths. Tak-
ing another fence, their course lay over the rails of
the back stretch, then across the lower end
of the chute, when they were again in
the east field, and they were ruiming in the
same order, but Moonstone did not like the course,
and balked at every jump, and was out of the race.
They now took a fence and hedge, then a fence, and
then the stone wall this side of the furlong pole,
where Bedding was half a length in front of Trouble,
who was six lengths before Doubtful, with Moon-
stone a long ^s^ beMnd and being gradually lost in
the distance. ' They now came to the south section of
the water jump, and Trouble leai>ed it at the same
time as Bedding, and creating a great deal of en-
thusiasm. Over the chute they went into
the west field. Trouble now taking the
lead by a length and a half, Redding second, some 10
lengths before DoubtfuL At the stone wall Trouble
led two lengths, and was the same at the hedge and
ditch near the upper turn. They now made a curve,
and jumped the stone wall opposite to the field
stand at the head of the chute, and Trouble still led
two lengths, with Bedding second, a dozen lengths
away from Doubtful, who was out of the race luso.
Running down the west side of tho chute they took
a stone wall, then the rails Into the track near the
half-mile pole, where Trouble was two lengths before
Bedding. Round the turn Trouble increased his lead
to four lengths, but when they turned into the home
stretch Itedding closed rapidly, and there was great
excitement as they came over the final hurdle simul-
taneously. It waa nip and tuck between them
until within a few yards of the stand, where
Redding showed his neck to the front, and thus won
the race in 5:46^ Doubtful was third, a hundred
yards behind, and Moonstone fourth, half a mile
away. Audubon went the course, and occasioned
much amusement by the efforts of his jockey to get
him over the obstacles. Little, the rider of Waller,
still lay behind the first wall, Burrotrnded by a crowd,
and was finally removed lu a carriage, with his collar-
bone fractured.
CRICKET AT HOBOKEX.
A GAME BETWEEN THE ST. GEORGES, OP HO-
BOKEN, AND THE STATEN ISLAKD CLUB
— DEFEAT OF THE FORMER.
The St. George Club and the Staten Island
Club played a game of cricket on the grounds of the
former, at Hoboken, yesterday. The play bristled
with good points, and the score testifies to strong,
careful aud attentive work. The St. Georges were
the first to go to the bat, with Giles and Hosford to
the wickets. They were^ however, put out without
scoring a mn, as was also Cashman. Marsh then
went iu and held his wicket while seven of his com-
rades were put out^ and carried his bat from the field
with a score of 24 runs. The Staten Islanders played
but one inning, and in that they ran the
score up to 125. The batting of Whetham was superb;
he made nine leg hits for two points each, an d, with
other single and three hits, made the magnificent
score of 6^ runs. Hitchcock, who otherwise did
good fielding for the St. Georges, missed a ball from
>Mietham at long leg after he had made three runs.
Harvey did some clean and graceful bowlixtg, aud
made the record of six wickets for 14 runs, in the
St. Georges' second Inning. Hosford made a fine
stand for 19 runs, and Giles made the best hit that
has been seen on tbe ground since that made by
Grace, of the English 12. He sent the ball over the
wires, and scored 6 for his party by the feat. He
retired, afterbeing caught by Whitham, with a score
of Id runs. Moron also made a 6 hit. and did some
patient playing for six other points. Kessler's field-
ing for the Staten Island Club was excellent, and
did much to keep tho score of the Sc Geoiges down
to 102 runs for both innings. The .Staten Islanders
won the game by one inning and 23 runs. Tho fol-
lowing is the score :

LOXG RAXGE RIFLE PRACTICE.
AN OFF DAT AT CBEEDMOOR — THE DELIX-
QCENT COMPETITORS FOR PLACES OH THE
AMERICAN TEAM UXKUHQ UP POR LOST
TIME.
Yesterday was an "off day" at Creedmoor,
and no matches were provided' for competition by
the members of the National lUfie Association.
Shooting was quite as lively at the long ranges as
usual, however. Four competitors for places on the
international team shot full scores to complete tin-
finished records in tho late competitions. Capt. J.
G- Story, of tbe Team Committee, superintended the
shooting. Col. Bodine, Messrs. Alien, Blydenburgh,

A COXVEXTIOX OF BOAT CLUBS.
REASONS FOR THE FORMATION OF THEIR AS-
SOCU.TION— A GREAT ANNUAL ^GATTA
TO BE HELD IN THE VIOINITT OF THE
METROPOLIS.
The custom which has obtained of recent years
of locating the annual regatta of the National As8o<
dation of Amateur Oarsmen outside of the Metropo-
lis has long been regarded as a standing injustice to
the boat clnba of New- York and vicinity, who are in-
variably called upon to defray the greater part of
the cost of these affairs. While New-York has fur-
nished the crack crews, the attendance, and the money
to "mn " these annual regattas, the hotel-keepers of
other cities or of Summer resorts have been the sole
persons to profit by them. With a view to putting an
end to this practice, and, at the same time, to en-
courage aquatic sports in the Metropolis, the officers
and leading members of the principal clubs 'ot this
City. Brooklyn, Newark, Staten island, and else-
where, have united in the following call to the ama-
teur oarsmen of the above-named localities :
"Whereas, the National Association of Amateur Oars-
men have det«nnin(^ to hold tbe annual regatta of said
aSKOdatiou tbls year at Detroit, which place is at such a
distance that none ot our Eastern clubg can make entries
therein without great loss of time and expenditure of
money ; and wbereas, the proceedings of said associatinu
in abandoning the Bast as their theatre of action, (from
whlcn section tbe originators of said association hail, au4
where the majority of * its members now re-
side.) has left this section , of the country
T^ithout any recognized great regatta; therefore
we. the undersigned^ members of a number of
boating clubs in >ew-\ori: City and ^icinity, do invite
your association to send three delegates to a I'onventiou
of boat clubs to be held st the Flftb-A venue HoteL In the
City of Kew-Tork. on the 16th day of Angust. 1H77. at 8
o'clock in the evening. The object of this convention is
to take measures to form a new association of boat dabs,
which, when organized, will institute au annual regiitta,
to be held in the vicinity of New-Yori: City, and to pre-
senile and enact just, proper, and equable rules and lawg
for the governance and regulation of our noble and popu-
lar pastime. There are In New- York and vicinity over
60 active boating organlzationa. With this matenaJ. we
believe, an associ&tfon can be formed which would be
second to none in our landin weigiit and inflnencse. Your
hearty co-operation in this measure i£ most eomestly re-
quested." -.
The new movement is not believed to be hostile to
the present National Association, bnt^.is simply to
^i%*e the oarsmen of Xew-York a cheap, easy, and en-
joyable means of cultivating their favorite sport in
the neighborhood of the. City,-<without being dragge<I
off to mstant points in tiie^^ouutry. where they are
subjected to large en>ense, and derive but little sat-"
isfaction from the class of contests offered. The
plan is to have periodical regattas on the Harlem
River, on the Passaic, and on the Kill von Kull
in^um, thus giving variety to the different con-
tests- Entries can be made by any or all clubs,
or by any members of them. The prizes to be offered
will consist of medals, fio^ and other intrinsically
inexpensive trophies, while the whole cost of the
regattas can be more than covered by the receipts of
the association steamers for ^>ectators, the price of
admission to which will be $1. The association will
be olficored by a Commodore, Vice-C^Jinmodore. and
other oflBcials, to be chosen by the clubs composing
it, and all that enterprise, good management, and a
proper e^rif de eorpx on the part of the managers
cau do will be done to render it a success.
A leading member of one of the boat clubs who has
been largely instrumental In getting the present
scheme under way, stated the plans of the projectors
to a Times reporter yesterday, as follows : " ^ ou see
the boat clubs of other cities have monopolized the'
regattas-of the National Association for years past.
In 1876. the regatta was held in Philadelphia, iu
1875 at Troy, and in 1874 at Saratogn. New-York
and the neighboring cities, which contribute
an overwhelming majority of the crews, the money,
and the atteudauce, have been altogether left
out in tlie eold. As a result, local interest in the
sport is all dead, and will remain so until we do some-
thing to arouse the public to its importance. We
mean no harm^ to the National Association, but we
do mean to get up a series of regattas worthy of the
Empire City, and which mav bo attended and en-
joyed by thousands of Otir oitlzens at a trifling cost.
There are no finer courses than those of
the Harlem River, the Passaic, and the
Kills, and we propose to utilize them for
regattas of a class which will draw oouatic talent
and money to the Metropolis instead of taking it
away from it. To witness a first-class ragatta at
Troy or Saratoga costs a New-Yorker — including
fare, hotel bills. &c. — from $30 to $50 ; to witness
the same character of race on the Harlem <»* the
Kills will cost him but $1 or $1 ?t(X. We will have
gold medals and flags for prizes, laud do away with
the * punch-bowl ' business, which has proved so ex-
pensive and unsatisfactory. Flags and cheap tro-
phies can be kept about a boat-house where they
can be constantly seen by members ; and as the
honor of winning, ■which they symbolize, is the chief
inducement, they will really prove more Incentive
than the cosGy gold and silver ware which has been
the 'rage' of late years. Why, the Argonauia's
prizes are so valuable that they have to pay $73 a
year to beep them under lock and key in a safe de-
posit company. All the officers of the New-\'ork
Club, with whom I have talked, are delighted with
the scheme, and prophesy for It an unquestioned suc-
cess."
The meeting on the 16th inst wfll adopt Immedi-
ate measures toward instituting a series of local re-
fattas, the first of which will take place in Septem-
er next.

FIELD AND CULRA STENHOUSK.
Oorrttpondenee ttf Ou Am Franamn BvOetiM,
Salt Lak» Crrr, July 30. 1877.
Almost every one has heard of John W.
Young. Brigham's " apostate " son. as he la termed
among the Gentiles, because he virtually renonaeed
the doctrine of polygamy several yean ago. John
W. is the youngest child of the Prophet's legalwlf^
and is tne smartest, and has seen more of the ditoJ^a
world than any other of Brigham's children. He Is'a
shrewd business man, a railroad magnate In a Tn^H
way, and has been a very frequent operator in WaJl-
street. His contact with the GcntUes in hi* long and
freou* nt visits to the large fcastem citieiR has not
teuued to Increase his faith in Mormouiton, and it baa
long been well known that he tmlv remained in tha
Church for the emoluments which his father's pcyu'
tion afforded him. Of coureo, these privileges. includ>
ing the hanrlling of churdi tithing, were verv
convenient, but otherwise he bad no belief In the
doctrines of this gigantic religion* fraud- Like the
majority of prominent Mormons. John W. «>mbTaoed
polygamy, but for several years be has been a nao-
nogamiBt. His fiiBt wife was from Philadelphia, and
it was while on a visit to her relatives that he met
the woman for whom he discarded both first and sec-
ond wives. He was a handsome, attractive man. and
she a dashing young widow, and it seems it was a
desperate case of love at firat sight. .She knew very
well about his matrimonial entanglements, as hisiirBt
wife was her own roustn ; hut that did not prevent
her accompanying him to Utah under promise tn
marry him after their arrival if he would discard
his other wives, which was accordingly doue. Thi*
young woman, * ■ LIbby ( 'anfield. " an she Is familiarly
lernied, exercised so potent au infinence over John
"W. as to induce him t'> marrv her in an Eastern _
church according to the Episcopal rites, after he had
obtained Mormon divorcea, and it is said that ha
solemnly promised her nevor to marry again dnriiij;
her lifetime. But, a? the old anyiue eoea, " One
that is false with one can l»e false w-ith two," and leo
it has proved in this care. She had no scruplce in
inflnencing him to de«^ the others for her. and now
she in turn has been set aside for a fairer and mora
youthful consort.
Despite his vows tx> remain always true to her«
John W. has taken another wife, and under ctrrum-
stances which make the relations of the Yonns family
a little more mixed up than they were bt?fore- Ru-
mor has It tlmt Johnny was com'pelled'to again "Hva
his religion," In onler to satisfy those good aalnts
who were in doubt in regard to his piety, and who do
not want on *• apostate " as second head of the
Chtirch ; but those who are bett^-r infunned do not
hesitate to say that the charms of the new bride have
overthrown his allt^anc* to the rather j>asxee Libbv
Canfield. Robert iSytton says that " Gay youth
loves gay youth. * Certainly our experience showit
that the house of Young the older it grows loves
younger brides, and the risins seneratiun are not he-
hind their elders in this particular.
Joseph A., the oldest son of Brigham. who died »
vear or two since, left soA-eral widows, althon^h. lik«
John, he had been practically a iu»»noffninwt*for «
number of years, liaiing liv*d only with his funrtli
and favorite wife. Clara ^^fenhou8e. a dauehtrr of
Mrs. Steuhouse. who Is now lecturing a^raiust Mor-
monism. Clara is the «inly member of her family
that still clings to this reli^on. and ^he i« so bigotecl
and fail Biical' that for a lone time oftfr her parvuta
apostatij^ed she refubcd to even tpeak to them, and
treated them with the utmost contempt. She wa**
married to Joseph A. when ouly a chila. aud is still
youthful and very nttracTi\"e, po8»»*s.'iing a crest deal
of her mother's well-known lYench ^anesiw and suav-
itj' of manner. Some time ago * it was nunored
that Johnny bad suddenly beconje verj- religioift. and
e\iuced an ardent desire to follow 'th^ scriptural
teaching of "taking his dead brothers widow t<»
wife " : but Labby creatAi such a furore that the idea
was instautlv abandoned, and nobody imagined that
Johnny would have the temerity ever to broach th^
subject again. "When .Tuseph A. *iiod, Brigh.tm as-
sumed the management of his a^irs. transferred all
the property to hiiuselt and has doled out a ver>'
meagre support to the widows, who have sliown t-ign*!
of open retrellion. In onler t»» propitiate ii.'hira, and
have one more off bis hand.*:, the old mnnhu>^'favore<l
her morriogp to Johnny, and it ik principally thrunsii
his instrumentality that it has finally taken placo.
Brigham also had another and a very jKjWfrfuI
reason for getting Johnny eiilamrled again in ihts
chains of polygamy. The mono;;nmic (N-mrso lo^^
him the conndence of a great many good saiuts. and
reflected upon the prophet's p<»v^mment in uttt brin:;
able to control tho!>« uf liis own household, and hi«
return to the fold only shows that his -IM-Jin wn--*
right all the time." but he had b#t?ii li-d astray t«»tn-
porarilv by one of the daught«?rs of Babylon.' This
is saintly reasoning, aud J<»hnuy will profit hyiit>>
the extent of ha\'ing his credit rcsUred among Th*i
saints, full swing «tf the tithinji^ejchequer. aud n
young bride into the bargain, \erilytbe doctrine i
of these Latter-I>ay Saints can be applied vt-ry ron-
veniently to the needs and desireii of laiierdpy
sinners.
A SHIP'S CREW POISONED.
TERRIBLE SUPPERIKGS AT SE.A. FROM THH
EFFECTS OF PirTRID PORK — SIS MEN Dlfi
IN INTENSE AGONY.
Froiu the London Teieffraph. July 30-
By the arrival at Southampton of a Scotcli
seaman named William Inman, an extraordinary
story of poisoning at sea has been revealed. It H
alleged that while the bark Cr^iwn Prince, com-
manded by Capt. Robert Cochrane, and bulon;duglo St.
John, New-Brunswick was on a voyage in November
last from the Peruvian coasrt: t o Falmouth, the' food
supplied to the crew was unfit for use : tliat iu
consequence the whole of the forecastle hands^ 1 4
in number, became ill, aud that six of the saJlorK
died. The Crown Prince arrived with a fresh crew in
the Clyde a few days ago. and after ronimunlcattou
with the marine authorities, the Captain has iK-ea
committed pending inquirj-. Inman stales tliat xhtt

treme illness. On the 21xb. lo of the men wero
completely prostrated and next day all the 14 wc r^

the fortnighE^tbree of the crew. Tom Beaufort, a'
T.Hindoner; Aridrew Andersen, a .Swede, and Willinm,'
Williams, a Polondar, went mad. aitd ran about the
deck quite delirious. This so frightened the Captain,
whom Inman describes as a cautiotis seaman and %i
kindheartcd man, thai he tried to niakt« for th'»
Falkland Island.^, distant 200 miles. - Port JStan-
ley, the principal harlwr in the Falklnuds. was
reached on Dec. 7. As the anchor was let 1:0.

day after the Swede died, aud two da\-slat(-r the l>»ii-
'' doner succumbed to his sufferings. A week after the
remainder of the crew had gone t^ the hospital at Port
Stanley, an Irishman named Sullivan, and a r)utt:h-
man died. On Jan. 12. Harris Edwards, a native "f
Margate, shared the same fata. The doctor state<l
that they had all bc^eu poisoned by putrid pork. Ou.
April 2 last Inman left Port Stanley for Monte*
video, accompanied by two shipmates, John Aird.
of Walerford, and Alexander Buckley, an English-
man. Subsequently they sailed on boonl the royal
mail steamer T&gus. and hare arrived safely at:
Southampton. When they quilted Port Stanley four

TBE AMERICAS CHVECn /.V rrEXETA.
The Geneva papers give accounts of the wre-;
mony of laring the comer-stone nf tbe first American
church in that city, which occurred on Friday, Joly
27. The design is by M. Gindror, ardiitect. and is in
the Gothic style, very simple, with a clock tower and
five windows on each sLd«, and is beiniE built in tha
Rue Voirons. The fete excited the greatest interest
among the EngUsb-spoaking oulony, and induced tha
presence of many Americans from oU^er itai-ts, owin^
to the announcement that Gien. Grant would be prcK-'

FAJSCMETTE, THE GOAT OF BOULAIX-'
riLLIEHS.
AN EPISODE OP THE SIEOE OP PARIS.
While the German Army inclosed in ita
tron grasp the most brilliant and pleasure-loving
tdty of Europe, transforming in s moment its
'Spicnrean population into a people of heroes, the
isnrirons once :<o gay and so beautiful had experi-
■snced a change almost as great. Most of the de-
'tached villas were deserted, or occupied by the-
'Bnemy, and the villages, -whose regular inhabi-
tants had either taken refuge in Paris or fled to-
% distance, were rcpopulated by a singular as-
lemblage of individuals, belonging to all classes
©f society, and bound together only by the tie
:9f a common nationality, and the necessity of .
[Sliding a shelter and providing for their daily
irants.
The hamlet of BoulainvUliers, which had been
Itlttis abandoned, had received an entirely newt
isolony, and its beautiful avenue car-
peted tvith turf of the most lovely green, i
had all the appearance -of &f camp.j
&i long as the season •' trould permit, ,
Booking was caified on in the open air, and>
Cronps wei-e constantly to be seen surrounding
the fires and exchanging accounts of their laxi-
tnal miafortimes.
A painter of Fleurs, bearing the English, or
father Scotch, name of MacHenry, was among
these refugees. He had brought with him from
Cohnnbes, where he had before resided, a re- -
markably beautiful white goat called Fanchette.
This, creature, to which her master waa much
attached, figures iu the most of his pictures.;
Jji^t and graceful as a gazelle, she is represent^
^ sometimes cropping ■ delicately the. green
blanches of the hedgerows and bushes, some-
times entangled iu a maze of brier-roses, their
pink blossoms and green leaves falling arotind
her in elegant garlands, and contrasting well
with the snowy whiteness of her skin.
Fanchette was a universal favorite ; and few
there were at Boulainvilliers who would not
hare deprived themselves of a morsel of the
iMead sometimes so hard to procure, that they
might reserve a mouthful for the goat^ which,,
however, r the saucy thing would only accept.
(ram her particular friends.
The grace and rare intelligence of the animal."
traqaently relieved the miseries of the siege.,
All were surprised at the wonderful education.
Iter master had succeeded in giving her. He.
faaieven taught her something of his art ; and
It -was really extraordinary to see the sensible
toeattire bnxily employed in arranging pebbles
on the ground, so as to form a rude resemblance
to a human profile, often grotesque enough, but
■tni Buch as one occasionally sees on human
ahoulders ; and looking at her work, one could
'Hot help thinking that after all the lower ani-.
mala are, perliaps, not so far inferior to us aa we
■wpoee.
f The art -nith which Fanchette selected from
ftl^Qiich of flowers each one that was named tot
hMt was really marvelous. Roses, wallflowers. |
telipa, camellias, were promptly chosen from
Hie number, and It was rare indeed that she -
Bade the least mistake. Two centuries ago.
tbey would have burned the poor beast for a
irttoh.
^e exercise which she preferred to all others
Boncistied in catching on her horns a series of,
brut Tings wUch her master threw up in the
mix. This she did with the greatest address ;/
aoui-when she had got a dozen or so of them en-
■etxeUng her brow like a diadem she would be-.
cUl jumping and galloping and shaking her
Mad to make them jingle, till, over excited by
jlkidr rough music.- she would end by dancing in
ilha moat fantaatio style on her hind feet, till
ktfaiad at length with her exertions, she vot4d
!%c|di>d toward her master and throw the rings
•tiUafeet.
Among those who had found refuge in the
' Ttfni1°* was a chUd of 6 years old called Marie,
Ito daughter of a peasant whose farm had been
binned Dy the invaders. She was an object of
(■natal interest in the little colony on account
- ef ijier gentle manners, and the sweet but suiFer-
tm^ expreaaion of her pale infantine f eatures^^^A
searortwopieviotisly shehad been so severely
Htten in the arm by a vicious dog that the
Slllb had to be amputated, and her ' delicate con-
Mtotfam had never recovered the shock. Fan-
- ciMtte aoon took a great fancy to the little girl ;
and the - doctor having advised her to be
fed aa nmch as possible upon milk, Mao-
Banxj offered thaf of the goat. It was besn-
tthl to see the pleasure with which the affec-
" I ereatnre took upon herself the office of
and the avidity -with which the child
linthe-gratefol nourishment which was

OKf more and more attached to Idarle. She

botrnded away, and how rejoiced was the littl »
one to have again by her sidte^'er darling Far -
chette! NesUing her head under the child's
hand, a world of loving things were inte) -
changed in their mute caresses.
It once happened that a lady having in he r
hand a crown of artiiicial 'ivy which sha
had picked up somewhere, probably tbs
dftris of a school f6tS during happier
times, placed It on ti\e head of thj
nttle Marie. Fanchette, rising on her hind leg! ,
examined it with comicid curiosity ; and, bavin x
made up her mind on the subject, scampered o f
to an old tree close by, around whose trunk th a
real i-vy twined in thick and glossy wreath; ,
butted at it -with her horns, tvristing it roun i
them, and tearing off long trailing garland! .
She then ran back ih triumph to throw her
treasures at the child's leet, saying as clearly a 9
If she had the gift of speech : "Look. This is
better than the coarse imitation thev hav 3
decked you with ; this is tho real thing ?''
Another day the child was looking at hersel t
in a mirror, and Fanchette immediately bega i
to do the same. The expression of sadness an 1
wonder in her eyes seemed to say so plainly :
'■ Why are Marie and 1 .so different? If Iweis
like her I could speak to her, and then w i
should love each other still better I"
One evening Marie, who -was sitting by he r
mother's side, began to fidget and complain c C
an unea?y sensation in her back. Hermothei,
busily engaged with some work, and thinl -
ing the child was only disposed to be troi -
blesome, examined it slightly, and told he r
to be quiet ; but the poor little thin ;
continued to complain, .- when the mothei ,
getting out of temper, gave her a shar >
slap. Fanchette, who was present at this seem ,
presented her horns in a threatening attitude t )
the woman, and gently stroked the shoulders o f
her little friend with her foot. At the sight t f
the dumb animal's eloquent appeal, the woma i
began to relent, and calling the child to hei,
examined more carefully the state of thing! ,
when she. found, to her horror, one of thos i
large and poisonous caterpillars called in Frenc i
" procg-ssiontiaires," which had painfully irr -
tated the delicate skin of the child.
It was about tliis time that MacHenry, coi -
tinning his artistic labors in spite of all the dift -
culties of the situation, resolved on taking fo ■
the subject of a new picture his goat Fanchett ?
nursing the little Marie- Faiichette lent herse f
-with her usual Intelligence and docility to hi 3
wishes ; anil Marie was represented lyin t
among grass and flowers w^th her four-fo'ote 1
friend bending over her, "This picture, whic i
was afterward regarded as one of MacHenry i
best works, obtained the mos^. signal success 1 1
the Paris Exhibition of Modem Art — the trutl -
fulness of the design, the freshness of the co -
oring, and the grace of the Jcomposition bein ;
equally striking.
But these bright Autumn days soon pa-sse 1
away, and many mav recollect the bitter cold c f
the sad Christmas of that dismal Winter. Po( r
little Marie suffered so severely from it, that a '-
ter a vain attempt to recall' some warmth b r
lighting a flre of brushwood, 'the only fuel thi t
could be procured, her mother, as a last n -
source, put her into her little bed, in the hot e
that by heaping upon her nil the clothing si o
could procure, the child might regain a Vitt o
heat ; but it was in vain : no Iheat came, and tl a
blood had almost ceased to circulate in her froze i
limbs. At this moment Fanchette arrived, an 1
without' waiting for an invitation, sprang upo i
the bed. It was in vain they tried t<} drive "h* r
away ; she only clung the closer to her nurslinj :,
and covering the cliild with her body, soon r ^-
stored her to warmth and animation.
There was one among the temporary inha >-
itants of Boulainvilliers for whom Fanehet e
entertained an unmitigated aversion ; this w) -s
a knife-grinder of thf name of Massicault- II s
appearance was certainly not calculated to pr ►-
duce a favorable impression, for his featur< s
were repulsive and his e-Tprewion disagrceabl ■.
A low forehead.a scowling eye, and a short, thie :-
set figure were the principal piiysieal traits < f
tills personage ; nor were they redeemed by tho: e
of his moral character. He had for his constai t
companion a large, ill-favored bull-dog with a
spiked collar, who seemed to share all the ev il
instincts of his master. Every one wondert il
how the knife-grinder niauagt>d to feed th s
animal at a time when it wan so hni 4
to find the merest nece-ssarios of life f r
human beings^and that, t-oo^ -without ever seei i-
ing to do a hand's turn of work : for all day lot g
he was lounging about, and ;it was rare iudetd
to hear the noise of his whei-l. 'When any oi o
— alarmed at the threatening aspect of tl o
brute, who never faile<i to growl and show h s
fangs when approached — aske<l his master o
call him off, Aiasslcault used only to reply wi h
an ill-natured laugh : "He has not begun y t
to eat such big morsels -as you ; but there's i o
saying what he may do one pf the.se days!"
MacHenry -was sorry that jhis goat partook if
the general dislike to this man. He would ha o
ruther wished that she shoulil. have tried by h -r
winning caresses to soften his rugged nature, ai d
bring him to love the gentle creature that hi d
gained all other hearts; but,fis we shall see ihtl e
sequel, things turned out very differently.
On one of the last fine days of that sad yea :.
a crowd having gathered round her while h t
mai^ter was amusing himself by exhibiting h *r
intelligence in the selection of the fruit ai d
flowers he named, in which she acquitted hem If
-with her usual sagacity. MacHenry Ijade h ;r
fetch an apple. "There were ffl>me still hangii g
- on a tree in a neighboring garden, but instead if
running off as usual to the well-known place, s le
went right up to the knife-grinder, and pushii g
aside with her paws the skirts of his coat, d s-
played two pockets stuffed with somethiu ;.
which the crowd, amid shouts of laughter, <: ;-
clared to be stolen apples. The artist tried m
call off his goat, and the, man drove her aw .y
with curses, but two vigorous pea.sants imme i-
ately laid hold of him and insisted on seeing t le
contents of the suspicious pockets, which prov d
to be, as all had supposed, apples stolen frt m
the tree in question. The discovery only i a-
ereased the rage of 3Ia.ssicault, who swc re
with the mo.st fearfid oaths that he h id
never touched one of them, and that t le
apples found in his possession had been giv in
to him by a friend. Though none believed hi n,
several, in order to get rid of a disagreeal le
affair, feigned to do so, and he was finally et
off ; but many thought they ha<l thus got a cl le
to the authorship of several robberies receni ly
committed to the prejudice of differeutmemb* ra
of tho little community.
This misadventure excited in the knife-grind ;r
a -violent hatred against I^anchette, which w is
heartily shared by his worjthy companion t le
buU-dog. The latter wa-s iJn object of spec al
terror to poor little Mariet Fanchette seem !d
to understand the fears of the child, and wh( n-
ever the dog approached her she would low er
her horns, as if to protect her nursling and de fy
her enemy. These demonstrations of valor we re
generally .successful, the dog slinking off wi th
glaring eyes and drooping tail.
One day Fanchette nestjled up close to i er
master, putting her foot upon his arm, and hi v-
Ing succeeded in gaining liis attention, ran ff
to a particular spot, where bhe stopped to sn ft
the grass, and then trotting back, she renew 'd
several times the same maiicEuvTe. MacHeni y, '
persuaded that something [extraordinary im st
be the matter, ro.se and followed her. Wh in
she reached. the spot, putting aside like a terr tr
dog the long herbage with her feet, she d s-
played to view a leather pocket-book, which t lo
artist picked up and examined. An instant s if-
ficed to show that it beIonEe<l to the kni 'e-
grinder, and its contents proved that this ra in
was one of the numerous spies the Germans h id
constantly and everywhere in their sei^'h e.
He found besides in this i>ocket-book, push ^d
under the covering, the piuturo of a child, o le
of those common photographs which have lo
other merit than a certain resemblance.
4|The very day that this pocket-book was foui d
a frightful .scene took place. Little Marie w is
sitting on a low stool eating .a morsel of brea il,'.
which she was sharing with Fanchette, when t le
bull-dog chanced to pass. The animal stopp id
for a moment and looked| at her : then, as if
overcome by the temptation, he suddenly dart id
at her and snatched at the bread. He was pt e-
.^nted, however, by the go^t, and vrith a toss jf
^Sr horns she sent the ferocious beast sprawli ig
to^some distance ; but he was only stunned, n >t
seriously hurt ; and, furiotis at his repulse, le
sprang upon the poor go^t, seized her by t le
throat, and shook her with rage. Marie utter sd
piercing .shrieks, and MacHenry, ha^-ing gothc Id
of a stick, ran to the rescued A .sharp blow m
the head caused the dog to lose his grip of po )r
Fanchette and tiuTi against his new eneni y,
seizing him by the shoulder ; but a peasai t,
coming to the assistance of the artist, fore id
the dog again to let go ; aiJd, limping off '& id
growling, he at last took refuge beside his m s-
ter, who all the while hadi been an tmmov ;d
spectator of the scene.
Great was the general grief at .the sight of
poor Fanchette mottoidess on the gra.ss, bleedi ig
profusely from the wound in her throat ; a id
strong the indignation excited by the feroc ty
of the dog and the oonduet of its bmtal mast ir.
Many were the threats muttered against hot i ;
and there is little donbt tha^t the dog at le st
would soon have paid the penalty he deserv ed
had Fanchette's weund been mortal ; but on
examination it was found to be less seriotis th in
it appeared, and her master's care of her so sn
effected a complete cure. The inhabitants of
the hamlet, howeTer, resolved not to let slip i he
opportunity for getting rid of the obnoxit us
knife-grtaider. This ifl-fsvored individual ? as

hafdly re&iehed ttie entrance of the villaar©
when they \|ere met by a party bringing along
with theta !an o:"{)han boy of about B or 7
years of ag^, whf se parents had been found
Jriurdered some d lys previously In one of the
detached cottages of tne neighborhood, wMoh
some still Ttentursd to inhabit. The child, at
the sight of Che kiife-grinder and his dog, ut-
tered a loud cry and covered his eyes wl& hia
hands.
" What IB the matter, my poor little fellow t"
asked one of the by-standers. At length he was
able with dfiicullyto reply, his word.s inter-
rupted with deep i lobs : " That man I tJiat dog !
It was they that k lied my mother ! I saw It all
from bfehindj the c irtain in which I was hid."
Every one looke i in astonishment at his neigh-
bor, not knojwing ;yhether to believe the strange
assertion of the child, when MacHenry pro-
duced the pocket-book and informed 'those
around himj of il s contents. The child imme-
diately cried out ^hatitwas his mother's^ and
had any doubt rer lained it would have been dis-
pelled by looking at the portrait that was con-
tained in it, for its resemblance to the poor lit-
tle boy was striking.
In presence of such proof, there could be no
hesitatiou, and twb men immediately set off in
pursuit of the fugitive ; but he had already got
a considerable a<lvance, and fear lent him,
brings, so that bel ore they could reach him he
had gained the protection of the German out-
y. succeed, however, in evading
posts. He did no
the fate he inerite 1, for shortly after the news
arrived that the - -
the hands of
KTetched man had fallen into
tjetachment of French fratics-
tireurs, and having been convicted of being con-
cerned in the burning of a farm, was immedi-
ately condemned imd shot.
MacHenr^i adop *d the orphan boy, and never
had cause tO] repetit of his generous action. " I
have now t\y^o chi dren,'' he used gayly to say ;
'*for my gentle iitelligent Fanchette is almost
as dear to nirr^s if
she were a human creature."
— Chambers's Jotirinal
The TetjtontIc Womak op Old. — The
Teuton of old led a life of hardship. His was
a simple mode of living. He knew few of the
luxuries of an Orinntal or a Roman civilization.
His sluggishlnatuie retained all its Innate vigor.
There was in his daily life nothius to enervate
it and render him effeminate. But he enter-
tained for womau qo chivalric sense of delicacy.
A creature of impulses, he was incapable of
restraint. He guar ied her virtue simply through^,
the motive of ri(;ht and property which was
vested in her. His sense of independence could
notbrookeucroaciiments upon his possessions,,
whether of person or property. Hence he hedged
womau iu with la iivs that were as wounding to
her modesty .as they were derogatory to her
honor. They ignored her personality. They-
guarded her as they would have guarded a pet
animal or a fruit-l earing tree. Thus was it en-
acted tliat the freeman who presses the finger
of a freewoman is liable to a flno of 000
pence; of l.liOli if he touches the arm;
of 1,400 if ho pU ces his hand above the elbow,
and so on through a ^rade of fines, entering
into details as disgusting as they must have
biMJU futile. Nor were these laws confined to
the olil English and their neighbors. They
were generallv ii^d throughout, the Teutonic
races. In tliebaMirlan laws htrjchodisarranees
a woman's hair oi* detaches her comb is fined a
certain amount. Legislation on such a subject,
entering into suctli minute details, taking such
stringent moasui[es, implies g:reat abuse, and
proves conclusively that woman was not tho ob-
ject of respect to' the ancient Teuton which
some would make her, and that she was
simply cared for because she was to be
tho mother oij the young heroes and
^-ikings who were to perpetuate the name
and tho prowess of their furthers. Com-
menting on Jhe punishment inflicted
on the woman nnjfaithfiu to her husband, as re-
lated by Tacitus, paniely, that her hair was cut,
and she was whipped ignominiously through
the village, BalmM remarks: ''T-ertainly, tiiis
punishment giveskis anldeaof the infamy which
was attached to arlultery among the Gemiauf,
but it was little (ralculated to increase the re-
spect entertained for women publicly. This
would have been greater had they been stoned
to death." Be this as it may, tho more we study
t he condition of women in those early days, the
loss pleasing a picture does it represent. She
was the companion of man in peace and 'war;
she attended to all tho indoor and outdoor work;
while he sat dnziclg in half stupor by the fire she
was up and doingj; she accompanied hinl to the
battlefield : she stooil by hia side and encour-
aijed him in moments of greatest danger.
Women were known to fight after their hu.v
bands and sons had been defeated. Thus Flavus
tell.-* us that, in a battle betweeu INlarius and the
(.'imbri. the struggle with the enemy's wives
WAS not less severe than with the enemy him-
self. " for the v^omeu being mounted on the
wogon.s ami other carriages which had been
run:;ed around as n defeu-se. fouifht from theiu
ns from towers, with spears and pikes." And ho
a<)ds that, when they were refusetl tho privi-
lege of being committed to the custody of the
vestal \irgins. '* they either fell, after stran-
gling or braininj; the whole of their children
by mutual wounds, or hanged tbemselvey with
ropes made ut their own hair, upon the trees
and the yokes uf iheir wagons.'' The reading of
such a page freezijs the blood in one's veins, and
he asks : Could this he told of mothers? The
historj' and literature of all the Teut6nic races
answer in the afiipuativo. So do the Sagas of th©
North- Their ideal woman is one bloodthirsty,
cruel, cold, heart ess, and fatally beautiful. In
the Viilsung Sagi. Signi counsels Sigmund to
destroy her own children because he does not
consider them va lant enough. ** The daughter
of the Danisli jalrl, seeing Egil taking his seat
near her, repels him with scorn, reproaching
hini with aeldonj having provided the wolves
with hot meat, v ith naver having seen for a
whole Autumn a raveB croaking over the car-
nage. But Egil seized her and pacified her by
singing: * I nave marched with my bloody
sword, an<i the rt ven has followed me. Furious-
ly we fought: the fire passed over the dwellings
of men; we slept In the blood of those who
kept the gates.'" Such is this maideu's ideal
of a hero and of life. A fancy so
steeped in carnage and crime could be
possessed of a sOiall share of tenderness and
humanity. N*or| is the ideal of woman of
the Nil>eiungen-lied less fierce. Brunhild forces
her suitors to contend with her in the games of
thro%ving the spear, leaping, and hurling the
stone, under the barbarous penalty of losing
their heads in case of defeat. She afterward
has Siegfried slain ; in return, his wife, Crim-.
hild, after brooding over her wrongs for years,
revenges herself by slaying his murderer. She
is possessed of as little humanity as her rival.
She asks Hageu where the fatal Hoard is ; Hagen
replies that: he n sver will disclose it while any
of her brothers iircs, whereupon she orders her
brothers head to he cut off, and, holding it up,
exclaims : *' I bring it to an end."
" Ich bringo es lu ende. " sprach das edle Weib.
" Thou hast it now according to thy will," said
Hagen; *'of the Hoard knoweth none but God
anal; from thee, 8he-<levil — Valendinne — shall
it forever bje hid-fj In her rage she kills him with
her own hand. N^ot in representations like these
are we to ifind the ideal of true womanhood.
Such characters bear no other traces of their
sex than the name, and woman imse.xed is a
monster. No sui^prise is it. theu, to read of the
English ladv of | primitive times cruel to her
servants and slave.'t. The types set up for her
admiration were such as battled the tenderness
and delicacy of feeling and thought that belong
to true wifely, motherly, and sisterly qualities.
The Edda has summed up the Teutonic estilnate
of woman ih these words : ** Praise a woman
when she is buried ; • • * praise a maiden
after she is manied." — The American Catholic
Quarterly Jievieu.
Maffei's "31ER0PE." — Goldsmith pro-
nounces Ma ffei's * Merope " to be *' the most fin-
ished tragedy in the world," and '* supposes that
^he author I earner 1 from the ' Samson ' of Milton,
and the 'Athalia' of Racine, to construct a
tragedy without i. love intrigue." It is a strong
proof of the power of Maflfei's mind that, .with-
out such at epiacde, he should have succeeded
in winning the public favor at a period when a
romance of some kind was considered indispen-
sable to anj drama. Maffei wrote his *' Merope "
with the in .entiuii of proving that it was possi-
ble to excite thj sympathy, and sustain the
interest of the audience by a plot depending
entirely oi the strong affection existing
between nn tther and son, when bro ught out and
placed in a vividjlight bv situations of extreme

When it arrives it is sifted and pulverized sev-
eral times, till nothing but the finest and purest
part remains ; in this state it looks like very fine
flour with a slightly yellow tinge. It is then
mixed with feldkpaU, (a kind of flint)— which is
ground to powder — gypsum, and water, made
into huge balls,
to be served out
and kept in zinc-lined boxes,
as occasion requires. There
was nothing in the molding of the commoner
forms, or in the whirling of plates and
bowls, &c,, in any way differing from the
ordinary niethod pursued in every china manu-
factory in this cotintry. and this is therefore,
not worth describing. In a very long gallery —
round two sides of a square, and into which
opened the various work-rooms — we saw the
most extraordinary collection of molds ; boclies
guiltless of heads, legs, or arms; right legs,
left legs, with i^nd without shoes; birds, ani-
mals, and fishes,
ready to be filled at will. In a
large and wetl-lighted room sat a perfect army
of workmen, to whom the contents of these
molds were given, after one baking, and while
the clay is still plastic. Taking a body, they
joined arms and le^ aud head with inconceiv-
able rapidity, bassmg a camel's-hair brush
dipped in waterf to make the members stick
on. With Bmall agate tools each be-
gan to bring these molded figures to per-
fection. The WjOrkraan gave the eyes expres-
sion ; he deepened an eyelid, softened the cheek,
rounded an arm, marked the finger-naiils, patted
it on one side. tJieu on thu other, till it stood
before us a shepherdess complete. Nothing
was more marvelous than the gentleness and
dexterity with wluch the fragile thing was
handled, and the wonderful quickness with
which he manipulated each smallest detail.
Next to this room in point of interest was the
one where the raised fruits and flowers are
made and arranged on each vase or jug or
basket. There s no molding here. The most
delicate leaves are rolled at the point of the ac-
complished fingiirs ; leaf is added to leaf, every
bit of the snialltst rose is curled, patted into
shape, and stuc)^; into its place, till it grows be-
fore you intb a perfect n'ise. The tini-
est petal of each diminutive forget-me-
not is made by itself, and put in Its
place by the aid of daintily-held pincers, tliat

ers on the lap of a dancing girl are all made in
the same way ; ind seeing the time taken, and
the care required, it made one understand why

edges of plates snd baskets are marked in the
molds, and cui; out v.'it'h a penknife after-

the inevitable agate tools. Indeed, in all cases
the mold iglves tho forms very roughly, and
much more skilled labor is required than we had

cially engaged tJ undertake the painting of par-

devoted to the finest painting, we were intro-
ducefltoan oldi^renchnian \rlth two pairsof .spec-
tacles on. He was celebratedfor his child figures,
and was painting groups in the centres of a set of
of dessertjplates, ordered by one of the imperial
family of Prussia. Children guiltless of clothes
were swimkningj bathing, making flower wreaths,
riding goits. cjatching butterflies. &c. Each
group was different, and T'n' grace aud beauty
of the figures Jwere perfL-._tly wonderful. He
had palnleil tnere for years, but had never
learned Germaii ; he had never tried, he saitl,
with a little shrug. He also lx)ld us he seldom
painted fit^wers. " Any one cau do that," he
said, with a fine sense of his own unrivaled
talent ; but, looking at the flowers, we could not
agree with him. It is not given to " any one "
to paint such flowers. The blue and white china,
called, paf* e-xchUiwe, *' Meissen china," is of
course also ma<ie here. The difference between
it and Djresden china consist.>i in its being
painted in cobalt before it is glazed, aud it is
not baked |so often. Besides tlie reproduction
of beautif^ old j shapes iu the finest clay, this
Meissen china is made more coarsely and
strongly in comimoner shapes, when it is much
cheaper and verj- strong. it is also hand-
painted, but is very quickly done by means of
a perforated paper laid over plate or cup, when
powdered cobalt is shaken over it out of a thing
exactly like a small pepper-box. This leaves
the pattern marked, and lads, with a fine brush
and a little water, stipple in the color. It is
then baked andl glazed. Some of the old shapes
with perforated edges were very beautiful.
When the china is examined by the Superin-
tendent and he considers it perfect, he affixes
on every piece the well-known cross-swords be-
fore the last baking. Every bit with the slight-
est imperfection in pattern, shape, or tran:^
parency, is marked imperfect and sold for less
than half-price, either at the manufactory, or,
more frequently, at a small shop iu Dresden,
near the Frauen Kirche, which goes bythe name
of "the rejected shop." This mark of imper-
fection ia simply a small white line drawn
through the crossed swords. — Blackicood's Mag-
Old Ehqlish Opticials. — The High Jus-
ticiarship ,was a temporary oflQ.ce, a sort of vice-
royalty, necessiry during the King's frequent
absences on the Continent, which passed away
when Normandy was happily lost to England.
The Juatlciat was usually a clever ecclesiastic,
sometimes a tyrant like Ranulf Flambard, some-
times a wise administrator like Roger, Bishop
of Salisbury, under Henry I. Flanlbard is
called by one writer '* tiegotiorum totiu^ regni
exactor j" where exactor has its primitive mean-
ing, as in Isaiah Ix., 17, " I will also make thine
ofiicerspeac^ and thine exactors righteousness,"
an expressive phrase in Flambard's days. The
Justiciarship.was merged in tho older office of
Chancellor, '* the name being probably derived
from the cdncellij or screen, behind which the
secretarial work of the royal household was car-
ried on." The Chancellor was generally
an ecclesiastic. *' The whole of the
secretarial work of the household and
ooiut fell on him and the chaplains; the keep-
ing of the royal accounts under the T reasurer
and Justiciar, the drawing up and sealing of the
royal writs, and the conducting of the King's
correspondence. The Chancellor was in a man-
ner the Secretatry of State for all departments."
It sounds stranjge to our ears to be told that all
these offices were salable.% Tho Chancellor, in
1130, owes £3,000 133. 4d. for the great
seal; the office of Treasurer was bought
by Bishop Nigel for his son for £400. Inferior
offices were assessed at a lower rate. Public
opinion at last jcompelled the recognition of fit-
ness instead off wealth. We have said that; the
great household officers presided in theTiWO
high courts of the realm. At Judges in the Ex-
chequer, alongj with aach o^era as the King is

Barons of the Exchequer. The court is so named,
it seems, "from the chequered cloth which cov-
ered the table at which the accounts were taken,
and which suggested to the spectator the
idea of a game at chess between
the receiver and payer." The complete
organization of the court is referred
to the days of Henry I. Its meetings were at
Easter and Michaelmas at Westminster Palace,
when the whole finance of the kingdom passed
under review. In an upper chamber the ac-
counts were examined and settled, and in a low-
er one the money was transferred. *' The
record of the business was kept in three great
rolls, one kept by the Treasurer, another Xfj the
Chancellor, and a third by an officer nominated
by the King, who registered the matters of legal
and special importance. The rolls of the IVeas-
urer and Chancellor were duplicates ; that of
the former was called from its shapB~-the great
roll of the Pipe, and that of the latter the roll
of the Chancery. These documents are mostly
in existence." — The London Quarterly Hevietc.
Race-horse Ikfoemation.— Bookmakers
and other betting men take much pains, and in-
cur a great deal of expense, In order that they
may be well informed as to the doings of the
various racing stables. Information flows to
them from many sources, because they have nu-
merous hangers-on, whose duty it is to keep
them posted up in the facts and the occurrences
of the training grounds. At Newmarket aud
elsewhere — ^nearall training grounds, indeed-^
there are persons stationed^ employed either by
bookmakers or backers; whose duty it is to com-
municate with the utmost celerity every impor-
tant item of intelligence connected with
certain horses. Should these horses fail to ap-
pear on the exercise ground at the customary
time, should they only walk instead of ^llop, or
should they pull up lame after their canter,
then these totUs — a ragged regiment, it must be
confessed — Ide at once to the Post Office and
wire to those who have employed them, ^he
intelligence thus conveyed is promptly made
use of, and its effect, for or against a horse,
speedily becomes obvious by means of th© price-
current, and when It is seen that Asterisk has
receded in the betting list from sixteen to one
to twenty-five to one, it may be concluded that
the horse only walked that morning, instead of
galloping as usual ; while if the odds have re-
ceded still further, then the backer of the horse
may conclude that Asterisk ha * not been seen
at exercise, and that, in conseouence, there is
something radically wrong with the animal.
It is astonishing how soon the mis-
haps which occur to race-horses are made known
to those interested in the betting ; it is frequent-
ly the case, indeed, that a man who has backed
a horse will know of its having broken down
on the training ground long before the man who
is its proprietor. Instant u-se is, of course,
made of such information in the turf market.
If a horse quoted at short odds temporarily
breaks down, it is held to be good business to
lay against it at once, because, when the mis-
fortune becomes known, it will speedily recede
in tlie betting, and if a man 'cau lay one
hundred to twenty against it, the chances
are that he will in a day or two be
able to recover his bet at one hundred to
three; and thus, in the event of the horse not
recovering its position, he will have the differ-
ence as profit ; or if the animal does recover,
but fails to win the race, he will bag 17 pounds.
But such operations are difficult to conduct, as
all on the turf are playing the same game, and
each man is about as well informed ashls neigh-
bor. At all events, it may be taken for granted
that the men who have the most information
succeed best. — tVaser^s Magazitie.
GOXDITIOX OF TRE ENGLISH COUNTRY
Gentry Ch-vkoixo.— How ra^tny country fami-
lies are there at the present day who rely for
their income upon the rentals of their agricul-
tural lands alone i If they did, they could not
make the annual visit in the height of the
seo-son to town. Tho ponderous wealth of the
manufacturer would put them utterly in the
slia<.le. Brief analysis will demonstrate this.
An average area of 3,500 acres may be taken
as the estate of the ordinary country gentleman.
Small portion-s may let at high rates ; the
average rental would "not exceed 30 shillings
per acre, if a.s much. Tliis gives £5,250 per
annum ; which, however, taking a term of
years, mu>»t be reduced by nearly a thousand to
account for repairs, salaries, and losses from
farms out of occupation. Pour thousand
a year is a small income for a man
with, say, two sons and two daugb -
tors, claiming, and justly, social rank. There
may be also incumbrances left from former
holders ; debts of predecessors, or incurred in
improvemtuts not yet giving much return.
HundredtiE of city men who go to their offices at
IMn tlie morning and return to their suburban
villas at .'> in the afternoon, boasting no descent,
could show an income double this. And they
have no hereditary po.sition to maintain, they
get more out of their money. Country houses
nave, therefore, no other resource left if they
would keep up the traditions of the family.
They must trade, or bank, or speculate ; and
they do it to an unsuspected extent. The heu"l
of the hou.se may conceal his connection lAith
the coal-mine, the railway, tlie share-market,
the bank, or the counting-house ; bui;, depend
upon it, his money is there. Note also the
marked anxiety of the country gentry to get the
railway system extended to t^eir estates. ^NTiat
a number of -short links have been constructed
lately for the convenience of little outlying vil-
lages—they can hardly be called towns. The
money for tliese lines has been chiefly found by
the landed proprietors. Not to import navvies
to steal the game, not for personal convenience,
not to bring tradesmen down to join the hunt,
not from a disinterested desire to further the
advancement of the sparse population, but from
an honest aud declared desire to raise the value
of their estates. If the head of the house con-
ceals his connection ■with trade out of deference
U» certain traditions, which had a social force in
his early days but are now extinct, the sons,
who have no' such scruples, enter openly into
busiue-ss. Thev can find illustrious examples
enough set before them. — The Sexc Quarterly

The Coach. — The closed four-wheeler,
whether drawn by one horse or by more, is a
type of a very numerous family, the origin of
which is left in some obscurity, notwithstand-
ing the labors of Beckman and other investi-
gators to throw light upon it. Supposing coach
to be the father of the family, it is nevertheless
uncertain what form the name originally as-
sumed, and in what country it originated. Eng-
land puts in a claim ; so does France ; Italy and
Spain oppose l>oth of them, and also oppose
each other; while Hungary is considered to have
very fair evidence iu support of her rival pre-
tensions. There is a village called Kotsee or
Kotzsce, in Hungary, supposed to be connected
with the origin of the word "coach." If car
be the significant syllable in a multitude of
names for open vehicles, and kotsee one of the
earliest names for a closed vehicle, we caxu
imagine an amalgation of the two
in such names as cjiroche, caroce, until we come
to the English coach, the German kutsche the
Dutch koets, the Danish kudsk. and so forth.
At any rate there is a pleasant bit here for th^
etvmologista ; some of whom also speculate
whether coach may not have come from kuttess,
to cover ; or from koetaas, to lie along ; or from
couch, seeing that many of the earlier coaches
were for reclining rather than sitting, and
might therefore be regarded as wheeled litters
or wheeled coaches. A very good combination
of names is met with in the cari-coche or cart-
coach of Buenos Ayres. Thislsan inclosed two-
wheel vehicle, that may be drawn by any num-
ber of horses, attached to it by straps or thongs
of raw hide. The vehicle has a door behind,
not at the sides ; the body is singularly placed
over and between the wheels, ^ot resting on
their axle, but on swinging thongs of i-aw hide.

appreciated by those who understand Greek. In
proof of his extraordinary memory, Lord Abin-
ger says that he has known him repeat the
whole poem of "The Rape of the Lock," re-
ferring, as he went on, to similar passages in
classical writers which he supposed Pope to
have imitated. Upon one occasion he resolved
to say nothing for a week which was not to be
found in Shakespeare, and he astonished those
with whom he lived by his readiness in answer-
ing in the very words of the poet, the most
trivial as well as the most grave questions
that were put to him. The following speci-
men of his ready wit we have never aeeta

Blaekicood't Magazine,
The Ajrt or Readisg.^M. Itogonr&s
work treats of the mechanical requirements of
reading, in chapters on the voice, the art of
breathing, the pronunciation, the curing of
certain defects, and ttie observance of punctu-
ation. As to the voice, the middle register is
what should be most relied on ; but both this
and the higher and lower registers can be im-
mensely impro\'ed by cultivation and exercise.
It has been said of various celebrated
singei^, Duprez among them, thtft they
had "a made voice." The expreMion, aa
M. Legouv^ points out, is incorrect ; but it con-
veys the suggestion of how much can be done
by discipline and practice to develop note*
which without it would never be revealed. BL
Legouv^ quotes the instance of SIme. Mall-
bran, who, to the congratulations of her friends
when they had heard her deliver an exceptionally
high note in the " Sonnambula," replied, " Oh !
Je Vai assez cliercM ! Voild un tnois que court
apr^s lui ! Je lef>our8Uivai8 f>arioiU f En nve coif-
fant! En nChahiUant ! , et je Vai trouvS matin au
fond de mes aouliers en me chauesant / " In
another nart of his work M. Legouv6 describes
how M. Delaunay, by his beautiful reciting of a
poem by Musset. managed to conceal the faults
in its construction which M. Legouv^ afterward
discovered ; and M. Delaunay's mastery of every
art of intonation might have been brought for-
ward to illustrate strongly the truth of M. Le-
gouv6's theory. This actor is famed for the
beauty and variety of his voice ; yet, when
he first appeared on the stage, it was thought
by theatrical critics that the defects of
his voice would surelv prevent his ever ^oing
justice to his talent. 6y dint of constant study,
by seeking out every morning lonely places in
the Bois de Boulogne where he could devote an
hour to the constant repetition of the same
phrase, until he hit upon a meaning and plltas-
ant delivery of it, and by dint also of following
the suggestions of M. Davesnes, then R^gisseur
of the ThMtre Fran^ais, M. Delaunay succeeded
in training his voice to the singular resonance
and flexibility that it now possesses. Next in
importance to the acquirement of a fitting vari-
ety of inflection comes the regulation of the
breath. Ou this subject M. Legouv^ relates
how by his command of this Herr Stockhauseu.
the well-known singer, astonished the Swiss
guides who accompanied him in his moun-
tain expedition.**, and how Rubini's breath-
ing was never heard when he sang.
" How was this accomplished?" he asks,
and proceeds to answer his question bv an anec-
dote of Talma. The great actor, when quite
voung. was ulaying in Diderot's " P^ro ,de
Famille." Wnen he left the stage after deliver.-
ing the famous tirade, he leaned, completely ex-
' hausted antl breathless, against the wing. " /m-
bceile,'' said the celebrated M0I6. who w^as stand-
ing by, "et il veutjouer lairagddie / Viens tne
voh-d*'main tnaiin et je t'appreudrai comment on
pent Ptre pdst^iowU sans s^^poumonner." For some
reason Talma got so little out of this lesson that
he resolved to apply for further information to
an actor named Doi-ival, who obtained a certain
success in spite of a weak voice and insitrnift-
cant presence, aud who never seemed to be w >m
out by his efforts. Dorival answered him with
gentle malice, in the words, "You have so much
success, M. Talma, that you cannot want
lessons." Talma, however, resolved to get
the information he wanted, and while
Dorival was playing Oltdtillon in " Zaire," ho
concealed himself in the prompter's box.
Thence he came out, having discovered Dori-
val's secret, which was nothing else than an
elotborate system of breathing; he always took
breath before the existing supply of air in his
lungs was iLScd up. and in order that his breath-
ing might not be heard, or interrupt the flow of
his words, he took breath whenever he could
upon the vowel a or 0. " CeM-drdire aux endroits
ou la boucJie d^jd ouverte permet d'aspirer Ug^rc-
tnent sans que Vauditcnr s'en apeiyoive." There
may be a tendency to over-elaooration in this ;
but it is tolerably obvious' that the art of taking
breath is almost as important to an actor oi*
reader as it is to a singer. Talma himself was
so convinced of this that he laid down as a
maxim, " To{it artiste qui se fatigue est un artiste
mediocre,'' — The Satuniay Hwietc.
Flogging. — Partly from the change in
manners, partly from changes in the law, part-
ly perhaps also from, the effects of hereditar}'"
culture — which undoubtedly, whatever its other
results, develops sensitivi^ness to pain — physi-
cal suffering begins to be loathed, by boys as
well as men, and if unjustly inflicted, produces
a bitterness, a sense of revolt, a passion of de-
fiance, which is of all tempers the one most in-
jurious to the character. Boys so treated do
not become hard in the sense their parents
mean when they^defend bullying, but callous,
bad-tempered, and above all, self-defensive.
•• They were such good-tempered bogs," said a
mother recently w^ho had three lads at a school
— we will not just nowcreate prejudice by nam-
ing it — " and now they are wl scowLT' They
h£ul, in fact, been bullied and flowed till their
very natures seemed to have changed. Boys so
situated, so far from becoming manly, become,
if they have any strength- in them, brutal, as
violent and unreasonable as their persecutors,
and as^ready to seek pleasure in an infliction of
pain, which really gratifies them, by relieving
an amour pr&pre all crushed and sore from the
sense fff powerlessness. If, on the other hand,
tliey tend to weakness, they become utter
sneaks. Talk of the sneaking developed .by
over- watchfulness ; more boys are made sneaks
nowadays, that fls cowards and liars together,
by tyranny and bullying, by the effort to es-
cape blows or avoid persecution, than by
all the eyes of all the masters and ushers in
Great Britain. It is not only, we must re-
member, actual pain they fly from. The old
davs are over, and the actual amount of" ^MLin
is limited by opinion, till if a boy breaks an-
other boy^s fingers he is sure of a flogging, and
if he seats him on the bars of the grate he
risks a period of imprisonment. The children
of this generation have grown imaginative, and .
fly, as one correspondent of the Tims con-
fesses that he did, from terrors absurdly exag-
gerated by their own fears, but which," never-
theless, do all the injury to their characters
that actual dangers would do. In every other
department of life we recognize that terror
does mischief, and that injustice injures the
character of the victim, and yet we half doubt
whether bovs at school are not made manly by
perpetual alarm, and strengthened by the sense
that they are powerless against injustioe. The
slave-driver who whips is considered a brute, .
but the master who flogs is otfty a disciplin-
arian ; the mother who governs by whipping is
despised, but the monitor who beats is an eflft-.
cient supporter of the authority of the school.
Putting down injustice everywliere else, we be-
lieve or profess to believe that in a school it
'• makes men" of its victims, and though con-
vinced that a "floating hell" "is never a useful
ship, believe that torture may go on in schools
with benefit to the scholars' cauacity for life.
The utter absurdity of this belief can be made
clear by a single illustration. Discipline is ab-
solutely essential to an army, and the essence of
discipline is fear of punishment. Yet a regi-
ment in which the non-commissioned officers
could punish practically at discretion, and any
strong soldier could beat any weaker comrade,
would be " out of order " in a month. — The Spee-

activity in the organs from speaking. In socie-
ty, where education requires a submission to
rule, singing belongs to the domain of art ; but

caroL In the solitary chamber, the needle-
woman accompanies her work with some lovo
ditty, and iu divine worship the heart is raised -
above earthly things by the solemn chant. A
strong physical constitution and a perfect
regularity in the function? of the organs used
in singing are inappreciable advantages. Tbey
should be capable of rendering on inspiration
short and easy, the expiration slow and pro-
longed ; there is a .struggle betwt>en retaining
and releasing the air, and with the well- en-
dowed artist the larynx preserves itii position«i
notwithstanding the great variety of sonnds'
whlch it emits. But the evolutiou of the part**
are multiplied, the vocal lips vibrate, and the
configuration of the cavity modifies the sounds
which are formed in the glottis, and determine
the tone of the voice. The most energetic ef-
forts of the will cannot change this tone in any
sensible manner. Professors injure their
pupils by prescribing the position of the-
mouth, from which perhaps they themselves
derive an advantage. It is interesfing to watch
the play of the organs by the help of the laryn-
goscope, and .see the changes which succeed! one
another in the low and high notes. At the mo-
ment when the sound is-eues. t!ie glottis is ex-
actly closed ; then the orifice becomes a very
long figure, pointed at the two extreriiities. Aa
the sound rises, the vocal lips approach each
other, and seem to divide the orifice into tw.j
parts ; then as the highest notes are wmndod.
there is but a slit the width of a line. The vo-
cal lips change like the glottis : they stretch out,
harden, thicken, and ^-ib^aTe more and more as
the voice Vises. Women, who have a ^^maller
lar}nixand shorter vocal lips, can sing higher
notes than men, with a tone Wss p<»werf ul. but
sweeter, more uniform, and nuloiiiou?*. Th<9
ordinary limits of tho voice comprehend about
two octaves of the musical scale ; it can easily

What is Poetry f— Whf n the puete^
Louise Bertin put to Alfred de Muswt the sti'l
unanswered question "Wiiat is poetr\- T' sha
received a celebrate*! rejoinder, the lait jiiiJ
perhaps the happiest clause of which is :
*' D'un sourire.. d'nn mot. d'uu soupir. Jun n.';^ird
FaJre un travail exquis."
The answer was far from satisfying the demauS
of SlUe. Bcrtin, but a-^ a deflniti.m of ii-jt
poetry, indeed, but the fuii»tiou of .1 poet, il left
little to be desiretl. To m;ike imiuoi^al art out of
transient feeling, to give the impression of a
finite mind infinite ex"pansion. torhi.-sel material
beauty out of passing thoughts and emotion-* —
this is the lal>or of the poet : and it is on
account of this conscious artifice and excrci<!e*of
constructive power that he properly takes his
-place beside the sculptor and the puint'^r. To
recognize in poetry one rjf the fine arts i^eenis
curiously dimcult Ut an ordinriry mind. The
use of the same symbols which are emplwytMl
for the interpretation of tliouirhi in prose is
probably the origin of the habitual impression
that poetry is rather allied to philosi.phv than
toart. Yet ever}- artist in verse, h'jwever humble,
is conscious, from the first tiin<- that he strivest'»
fa.shion his inarticulate musi.*, that the worV ho
tries to accomplisi^ is in its e-^ence plastic. Th©

A STORY.
" Why, it is Musgrave ! ce dher Arthur ! I
thought yon, mon ami, to be in Spain still.
What good wind, what wind of fortune, has
blown you to us here, in Ru.ssia ?"
' Such were the words which reached my ears,
as a gloved ' gra.sp was suddenly laid upon my
arm, while I was traversing the railway plat-
form at Minsk. I turned to find myself con-
fronted by the smiling face of Demetrius Vas-
^sili, a Russian whom I had known for some
thre^. or. four years at St. Petersburg, Paris,
and wherever diplomatists and birds of passage
congregate. He, this well-whiskered, glib-
tougued Vassili, belonged to 'both categories,
Bince, when I first knew him, in the Czar"s
capital, he was ^ Professor of the Uni-
. versity, while in Paris he- was an underling of
the Russian Embassy, aud at Madjju a gentle-
mau.'at large. ''"'^
I^-onfess that I did not mucli like Demetrius
Vafcsili. though I was more t^n half ashamed of
my prejudice, for the man was friendly, almost
tpoo ostentatiously so ;_yfras polite, genial, and
one of those amiable persons who are always
taking our good opinion by storm, as it were,
by theigraceful rendering of some Uttle service
or other. Vassili, when I was a raw lad
new to the Continent, had been kind to
me' once or twice, and I had repaid his
gowl nature by taking his part when others
sp»jke evil of him. iti a vague way, behind his
b;;ck. for he was uot popular somehow. There
he was, at anj- rate, and evidently delighted to
'see me.
".* By the ^'i" abruptly put in my old ac-
quaintance, nnking his arm in mine, *• I have
to congratulate you, have I not >. It is true that
you are about to marry the beautiful MUe.
Jlarie, daughter of C^ount Constautine Orloff,
the young lady who at Madrid, when I was
there, broke all hearts '."
It was tnie that I was betrothed to Marie
Orloff ; indeed, I was on my way then to her
fathers mansion, at which it had been ar-
'ranged that I should be a guest until the wed-
ding should take place, according to both the
English and Riisso-Ureek forms, at .St Peters-
burg. Our engagement had conio about in this
wise. I. Arthur Musgrave, as an attach<5 of
our legationr at Madrid, had been thrown
• much into the so<.itty of the daughter
of the Russian Envoy, had learned to love
her, and had be<'n lucky enough to teach
her to love me. My chief difficulty was with
the C'onnt, who was at first very much annoyed
a'tid displeased. Ku-'tsia — youngest of natiuus —
has an aristocracy that iu pride and pretension
'rivals the "blue blood" of Spain, and every
Muscovite noble is convinced that the English
are. as Napoleon called us, a nation of shop-
kevperSr quite unfit to nmte with their own upper
classes. Fortunately fur me, however, I was
heir to an entailed property, ^mall, indeed, but
the rent-roll of which seemed respectable in
Cocrtinental eyes ; while 1 was able to convince
t'orint Orloff that my border ancestry had
diTveu off Scottish cattle, ami ridden in wardeu
raids, at a iinie wheu his own forefathers were
l^robably unbaptized Tartars, for it is a curious
tjct that the titled families of Russia are
<;eorgian. Tartar, Uerman, Swedish, anything
but Russian.
All now was happily .settled, and, as I have
said. 1 was on my Way to tuy future father-in-
law's country chateau, a Summer residence in
the hike district of Ostaschkoi, near Tver on
the Upper Volga. The Count's estates lay
chie&rlu that neighlx>rhood, and he had lately
beenjppointed. by one of those abrupt tcansi-
tions f7x>m one service to another, which are
fonimon under the Czar's rule, Governor of the
prx/vince.
*' But what chance, M. Vassili, V>rings you
h«reJ" 1 asked, when we had shaken hands.
**'! heard of you ta.st as in Rome."
"Here toAlay. there to-morrow,*" answered
r\'a.t-.iili. airily. " I have been in Asia lately.
Khali be at Wilna to-morrow, and in St. Peters-
(lurg next week. I serve a master who has deal-
bigs in far away places."
" Von mean the Emperor V I inquired, and
the Russian nodded with a look of good-humored
nivsterj-. At this moment up came a porter to
tell me, cringingly, that my excellency must, he
feared, be content to wait six hours or more for
a train. There had been a movement of troops
toward Poland, disordering the cximpany's ar-
Cttn^ments, and taking up the rolling-stock. I_
*" The Emperor's orders, noble gospodin." ^
atWed. with a deprecatory shrug, as he saw my
Vexed face.
Then Demetrius chimed in. His train, too,
bad l>een delayed by the concentration of troops
t>u the Polish frontier. He, too. had some hours
'to spend at Minsk. Ho had ordered dinner at
the Black Eagle, hard by. The landlord knew
hi^m^'ellTand would serve up a tolerable repast.
Would I be charitable and share what would
otherwise be a solitary meal ?
Vassili gave me a good dinner, and we lin-
gered long over our cigars and coffee, chatting
of other scenes and old times. Then, at length,
ward was brought that the train for Wiina was
ln.sight.
"Now I think of it." said my host, in his care-
l».-s way, ''on your road to the Count's chftteau
you will pass Staritza — yes I" he added, glancing
Hft the open map that lay beside me on the table ;
"■ of course you will, and change horses there.
■1 wish, if it be not too much to ask, that you
would kindly give a message from me to "the
village priest, or papas, there — Pope John Pe-
rovich."
** I will, with pleasure,"^ I ^plied. ** but re-
member, my Russian is hot very fiuent, and I
presume the priest talks no French."
Vassili laughingly assured me that the words
wet« very few and simple, and suggested that I
should pencil them, from his dictation, on a slip
of paper which he pushed toward me. These
w«re the words of the message : " Your son "
(-our clergy marry, you know, like the laity,"
iiiterjectedTpemetrius) " has been ill, but take
Comfort. He is doing well now, and, if he acts
3>romptly,; with the blessing of the Panagia, will
succeed. He sends his love, faith, and duty."
" I saw the Pope's son," explained Demetritis,
"the other day at Odessa. Young Cyril is a
com-desler and hay merchant, a pushing, spec-
ulative/fellow, but as honest as the day. He was
recovaring from a fever, but hoped to fill his
purset'by buying up all the ah ! thare is the
railway whistle, so we must be quick ! You'll
do ir.y errand, then, dear Arthur, will you not,
and gladden the heart of the good old man !"
D. was not until long after Vassili and I had
pai ted that it occurred to me to wonder why he
Bb ould have charged me with such a message.
It would have been simpler, surely, and more
B jeedy , as a means of commimicating with Pope
< ohn, to have relied on the post. But then
'these rustic priests were ignorant, and possibly
the eyes of the papas were not very weU accus-
tomed to deciphering manuscript- At any rate
I wpuld^naake a point of executing the commis-
Bion.
"Pope John, English lord?" said the inn-
teener at Staritza, falteringly, as I asked for a
guid^ to show me the way to the parsonage,
while the slow postillions were unharnessing, iu
therrardy fashion in which work is done in Rus-
aia^the tired horses from the carriage."
'"Certainly," said 1, observing his embanass-
fflwat. "Is the priest ill, or what is there sor-

/The landlord bowed obsequiously.

in answer to my I summons, scanm cl me nar-
rowly, and, as I thought, with sus )icion, and
after some colloquy conducted me to what -I
guessed, by the jfew books and the many
pictured saints on the wall, to be 1 he priest's
study. Ten minutes elapsed, and tl en in came
the master of the house. Pope John.
• ^ •' Forgive me, noble sir,' if I ha^ e kept you

he could have ejceclited in the presf nco of his
Bishop. "You •bring me news, I an told, of

eyes surveyed me ^tb a watchfubie s that had
"■in it sometiung feline. The priest's voice, too,
: at once coarse an^ wheedling, gral &d on my
ear, though nothing could exceed thi bland ur-
banity of his recjepuon of me. Twic 1 over did
I repeat the substance of Vassili' i remarks
concerning the | young com- Lealer at
Odessa, and tlwipo, at -the old jpan's re-
quest, iiid I mention every circumstance of
my interview with Demetrius, ** hla kind and

the written slip |of [paper, on which I had pen-
ciled the message, in the priest's ban Is, and de-
clining his offer of I refreshments, to< k my leave
of him. As I left, the parsonage/ thought I
heard some whisi[ered talk, and/t len a low,
sneering laugh. 1 y*
** I am much mistaken.** said 1 to i ayself, as I
stepped into my| carriage, and gave my
postillion the signal to start, " if Pope
John. • the good old man,' ^s Vassili
called him, be not as consummate an i greasy a
humbug as ayiy in Muscovy." Then my
thoughts reverted to rosy dreams of Marie and
the future, and l! sank into a re rerie, from
which I only awakened to percei" e that my
driver was proceeding in a leisur ly manner
that was most unusual, for if Rui suins work
slowly they drive fast.
*• Come, come, my lad !" said I, g tod-humor-
edly ; " surely thijee good nags a id a light

As I spoke I hjeard the gallop of distant
horses, mingling w^th the clank of steel. We
were on a sandy road, traversing 01 e of those
huge pine forfests, the sombre gloon of which, '
alternating with the glare of the ivhite sand,
has occasioned the name of ** Black Russia" to
be assigned to the;e central provii ces of the

Is Mars Inhabited ? — The condition.s
which favor the belief in the existence of
life in | the planet Mars, present the clearest
possible evidence of being ''ono in or-
igin and structure with our own .earth. We
cannot iell what the nature of the soil of Mars
may be, but its generally ruddy tinge — so well
marked that, though the telescope shows an al-
most equal part of the surface to be greenish in
hue, the rod provail.s, giving to the planet as
seen by the naked eye its obvious red color —
seems tb show that it i^sembles the red sand-
stone of our own earth. This, we know, is one
of the (Ider geological formations, and if we
could safely compare terrestrial with Martian
geolcfgj , or, let tis say, geology with areology,
we might almost be tempted to find in
the present prevalence of a tint belonging to
one o^ the earlier of our terrestrial for-
mation |an argument in favor of the theory that
Mars passed through fewer stagea of develop-
ment dluring its life-bearing condition than our
earth, and that thus the later formations of our
earth's|lsurface are wanting in the surface of
Mars. iThis reasoning would not.bo very safe,
hpwevcir ; it implies a resemblauce in details
whit^ is unlikely, the observed rule of nature
seeming, so far as we can judge, to be similarity
in genefrals, variety in details. We ma^ well
believej that the nxddiness of the soil of Mars
is jdud to the same general cause as
t^e| ruddiness of our red sandstone — the gen-
era^ prevalence of certain organisms — but
n^either the actual character of this par-
ticular! formation, nor its position in the
terfestifial series of strata can be safelv predicted
of the ruddy formation constituting the chief
part of the visible land surface' of Mars. Few i
will now suppose with a French writer that ttie
riiddiness of Mars is due to the color of vegeta-
tioip there, A Certain support is given to the
idea byl the circumstance that the degree of rud-
djihess is variable, and is somewhat greater dur-
ing thel Maratian Summer than in Spring and
Autumn. In this seuse, we may say of the Sum-
mer of Mars with the p>oet Wendell Holmes :
j "Thel snows that glittered on the disk of Mars
I Have melted, and the planet's fiery orb
Rolls in the crimsoD Summer of its year."
I But she ruddiness of the planet's Summer — I
which will be well marked this year, for on Sept.
18, only 11 days after its time of nearest ap-
proachjand greatest splendor, it will be Midsum-
mer's day for the southern half of Mars— can be
otherwise and better explained than by suppos-
ing thak; the Martian forests glow with fiery foli-
ajge during the Summer days. We can see, as
the Summer proceeds, the white mists wbich
had hidden the planet's lands and seas breaking
up, and the features of the surface being gradu-
tSly revealed with more and more dis-
tinctn€s»s. It is to the disappearance of
these I mists and clouds, not to the
red leaves of Martian trees, that the change in
t^e planet's color must most probably be re-
ferred-j We have less reason for doubt as to the
nature of the greenish markings. The spectro-
Bcope, as we have already explained in Infe in
Mara, jshows that the air of Mars is at times
ladsn Ueavily with the tsdot of wai«r. We cao
10 loalfrer, fheref orsr follow Whewell in doubting
,e teju nature of the green parts of the planet,
or refuse with him to accept the explanation of
the'Vhite polar markings long since advanced
by Sir W. Herschel. Undoubtedly, wide
seas and oceans, with many straits and
bays I and , izi^d seas, exist on Mars.
Snow I afid ice gather in the Winter
time about his pojar regions, diminishing grad-
i^ly Sn extent a$ Summer proceeds, but never
entirely disappearing. Thus we are not left
doubtful as to thei general resemblance of Mars,
so fait as the structure of his surface is con-
cerned, to the earth on which we live. He has
a surface of earth, probably in large part formed
by deposition at tiie bottom of former seas and
subsequently raised above the sea-level by sub-
terranean forces, or rather caused to appear
a|bote|the surface by the effects of the gradual
shrikikage of the planet's crust. — The Z'ornhiU

vessel tonnage, and substituted steam tonnage,
passing through the canal. It shortened the
time for operations in India produce in Europe
to the extent of certainly one-half, and probably
five-sixths ; and this economy of time, conjoint-
ly with the use of the telegraph, has not only
obviated the necessity' of accumulating and car-
rying large stocks of India produce in Europe,
wh icia were essential when every Indian order ne-
cessitated six months after it was given for its ful-
filment, but has also correspondingly diminished
the great advantage which England formerly
enjoyed in this trade from her immense capital
and credit. It has restored, in a degree, to the

Talk in the Silent World. — This Ger-
man system may literally be called the art of
teaching tlie dumb to speak. This will hardly
appear impossible if it l)e borne in mind that
the vocal organs of cougemtally deaf persons
are, so long as they are young, unimpaired.
The faculty of producing sound is there, but the
idea of sound not being present, no attempt is
made to employ it. It is»-truethat by long dis-
use the larynx loses the vocal property, but in
the case of deaf children there is veiy little dif-
ficulty in inducing them to utter articulate
sounds, not so clear and musical as those pro-
ceeding from persons who are not deaf, but dis-
tinct and intelligible. At the .same time the eye
of the pupil becomes educated to follow the lips
of the speaker, and to gather from their move-
ments the words uttered. The process of
teas'hing children on the German system
is ( nrious and interesting. The first aim is to
strengtlien and expand the vocal organs by
ggntle exercise, the next to train the pupil to
■Tvateh the motions of the lips and tongue. an<l
endeavor to copj- them. The sense of sound, to
which the auditory nerve is dead, is next con-
veyed through the sen.se of touch, the pupils
l>eing taught to feel the vibrations in their own
throats and bodies wlien sound is emitted, and
to learn td control these vibrations at will.
When a correct understanding and use of all
the vowels and consonants ha.s been obtained,
the pupils are ready to form words and to use
them as we do. The building up of language
now commences on a plan similar to that which
nature follows wlien children learn to talk by
ear. Simple words and every -day phrases c'>mv
Jirst. the more difiicult l>eing gradually built
upon and out of th^j simpler forms of
expression; and the closer the artificial
educational plan approaches to the natural
ear-taught process, the better will be tht? result
in th»- end. In some German schools a H-^w i:at-
ural gestures .ire allowed to be used iu the early
stages of teaching, but the highest type of the
system is steadfastly oppo.sed to all signs, and
makes tiie pupits depend entirely on languag.'

EuRKE AS A Speaker.— Lord Abinger en-
tirely confirms the general impression that
Burke was not a .successful speaker. He says
his manner and action were sulliccntly grace'-
ful. but his style was too didactic^ aud his topics
were too general to affect the.pissions, or to ex-
cite a continued interest >n the audience. The
fact is, that Burke was rather a lecturisr than
au orator. He sounded depths which his audi-
ence could not fathom, 'and scaled heizhts
whieh l^ey could not reach. It z«q[iiired time-
and thought and meditation to take iuthe
whole force and scope of his argument, and feel
the full beauty of his imagery. They were
speeches to read rather than to hear. Hence,
strange as it may seem to u.% Burke, whose
orations we study and admire as rich treasures
of eloquence, was known as the dinner-bell of
the House of Commons. Such is the difference
between contemporary opinion and the verdict

George Whitefield's Scccess. — It be-y
comes us to inquire what was the secret of
Whitefield's success ? A question this wmch
has often been asked concerning him as well as
other great spiritual leaders, and to which in
our view but one reply can be given. We shall
hardly expect to find any very profound solu-
tion of it from the lips of those of his contem-
poraries who regarded the "whole business as
moon-struck madness. Their views are sufficient-
ly illustrated in Mr. Tyerman's pages from
the four sermoiLs against the Methodists
preached by Dr. Trapp down to the infamous
dramas of a later date. Nor can we be satisfied
with the dictum of Dr. Johnson, who attributes
everything to "the peculiarity of his manner,"
and adds that *' he would be followed by crowds
were he to wear a night-cap in the pulpit, or
were he to preachfromatree." Allowance must
be made for the novelty of the doctrine, and of
the methods employed to diffuse it Sympathy
with an injured man may account in
part for the flocking of the multitudes
together. But these were only acci-
d(!ntaj and subsidiary infiuences. They
may have contributed to the kindling of the
spark, but they eoul 1 not for so many years
have kept the tlame alive. For that fuel was
wanted, not tinder. The popularity that burst
uijon Whitefield in the very prime of his youth
never failed, even to the day Ms friend Westley
described him — although then in years scarcely
pant middle life — as " an old. old man; fairiy
worn out in his Master's service." It was not
confined to one class of the people. In his
audiences generally the lower orders would al-
ways perhaps preponderate, just as they pre-
ponderate in the composition of societv. But
every order was fully represented, fiven at
this early period of his labors, and despite the
disadvantage of an al fre^ gathering, if we
may trust Dr. Byrom, of Manchester, who met
Whitefield in London in the month of
June. " he had lords, dukes, &c.. to hear
him at Blackheath, who gave guineas and half-
guinexsfor his Orphan-house." Yet AVhitefield
did not flatter, but reulidly rebuked their vices.:
In later years he maintained tbe prestige thus
v.<m, and had access to the nobiUty to a surpris-
ing extent, while his noble companion in arms
was neglected. Kor was his popuhuity cx>nfined to
this country. In Arnerica he was everywhere
received as an angel of God, although encoun-
tering opposition of a similar kind to that which
beset him at home. And in Scotland, where
A\\!sley utterly failed to make an impression.
Whitefield found no difficulty. He seemed to
possess a key that unlocked every heart. It is
adinitted on all hands that there is nothing in
the specimens of his preaching which have sur-
vived to account for the phenomena of the case.
Omitting all reference to unauthorized reports,
or rather travesties, of sermons which ap^ared
after his death : and confining our attention to
those published with his own sanction
and revised by his own hand. we
niu-it agree witb the opinion pretty gene-
rally passt^l on them by critics, and indorsed by
the oblivion into which they have sunk, that
they add nothing to the reputation of their au-
th ."r It lias been said that Whitefield would
have consulte<l best for his own fame if he had
never pt-rniitted them to see the light. Possi-
bly so. hut in that case his fame would have
been I'xaggerated beyond the bounds of truth ; a
niajesti'- intellect would have been invented for
him, which he nowhere by any chance betrays,
aud the glor%- of his inofal eamestne^^s would
have been proportionately diminished. — The

mission earned, and whether they starved or

Ttie Cotton-Gin — Th*^ cotton-gin wa.s in-
vented in 1793. The cultur^of cotton was be-
gun in the Southern Colonies in 1770. It was
an experiment for which the older nations of
the world were not prepared, and was suited
only to a bold and adventurous people. In 1784,
the year after the close of -tbe Revolutionary
War, a Vvi-ssel from this country, that had
carrietl tp -Liverpool eight bales of cotton, was
sfixed iu that port upon the specious charge of
illicit ti*a<le. grounded on the presumption that
s<j large a quantity of cotton -could nfit possibly
have been the production of the Cnited States.
Eleven years later than this, in 17i>5, when
the commercml treaty which bears the name
of Mr. Jay was negotiated between tlie United
States and Great Britain, one article of the
tr^-aty, as it originally stood, prohibited the
exportation from this country, in American
vessels, of such articles as Great Britain had
previously imported from the West Indies.

Eggs from France. — In 1875, the latest
year for which the English Board of Tr«de re-
turns have been completed, no less than 741.-
000,000 of eggs were brought into this coun-
try j/ind the returns of the immediately prs-
g years show that this importation has
makii^ gigantic strides.. Most of these
eggs come to use from France, and when vo
consider that the French themselves are large
consumers of both eggs and poultry, it
may well be imagined to what aa
enormous extent our friends across the
Channel develop thLs branch of trade
or commerce. The advantage which our
Continental neighbors derive from it is obvious
when we consider that not only ejnrs but fo^ls
are largely sent over to us. and that about
£3.000,000 are now annually paid by
^reat Britain for these two staple articles ol
consumption. Farmers and poultry -keepers
should lay this well to heart, and endeavor, by
some means so to increase tlie production of
poultrv and eggs as not only to secure tbe reteu-
tlMi of B large portion of this money in our own

that cot. >n was included in this prohibition, and
still more surprised to be made acquainted with
the fact, of which he was till then wholly un-
aware, that cotton was becoming an article of
export from the L'nitod States. The culture
wa-i continue*!, amid difficulties and embarrass-
ments which constantly threatened its abandon-
ment, till iu 17vU the whole amount of cotton
ex[M>rte.d from the United States was but 18!),-
'.iH* pounds, -The next year, that preceding the
invention of the cotton-gin, the amount es-

was. iu fact, fiom the incipiency of the culture
to the iK'riod of this iuveution. no imlication of
any tendency to an iiicrea.sc of the production.
The chief diificulty in the prosecution of the en-
terprise hail been found to be the extremely
slow aud labijrious process of cleaning the green-
seed cotton, or separating it from the seed ; and
so serious had this embarrassment come
to bt regariled that the cultivators were
generally inclined to j*ield to it as an
insuperable objection to what had been
the gi'and design of the -Undertaking, namely,
the raisiug of cotton for the Europeau market.
Tlie green-seed cotton is that which is coramon-
ly known as the HiAand, or hotrtd Gt»orgia cot-
ton, by which uame it is distinguished from
that produced in the islands and low districts
near the shore, called sva-island, or black-seed
cotton. The latter is the finest kind, and de-
rives its name from the circumstance of its hav-
ing been first cultivated in this country in the
low sandy islands on the coa.st of South Caro-
lina. It will uot flourish at a distance from the
sea. and its quality gradually deteriorates as it
is removed from ''the salutary action of the
oceans spray." It has a longer fibre than other
cottons, and is of a peculiarly even and silky
texture, which qualities give it its superior mar-
ket value. The expression "bowed,' which is
applied to the upland cotton, is descriptive of
the means that were employed for cleaning it, or
loosening the filament from the seed, previous
to the invention of the cotton-gin. The process
was similar to that employed by hatters for
Ijeating up wool to the proper consistency for
felting, tetrings, attached to a bow, were
brought in contact with a heap of uncleaned
cotton, and struck so as to cause violent vibra-
tions, aud thus to open the locks of cotton and
permit the easy separation of the seed from ttie
fibre. The cleaning was likewise done wholly
by baud, the work of the bow-strings being
scarcely more efficient than that accompU.shed
by the fingei's of the slaves. In either case the
process Was discouragingly tedious and slow.
Wliitney's cottou-gin overcame all this iifficulty,
and f iu*nished the means of separating. the seed
and cleaning the cotton with such economy of
labor and time as at once to give a spring to the
agricultural industry of the South, and an im-

carburets, under the combtiisyl action of moisture,
high pressure, and heat, would give metallic oxide«

i have much to say about the thing called
£ngU8h grammar, and after that is said, I shall
pass on to the consideration of many points of
erery-day English speech, indiiding slang, com-
mercial cant, poUUeal cantj and kindred sub-
jects, as to which any suggestions or queries
■will bo welcome, much more so than^the never-
ending requests to ' ' decide a dispu^ " whether
this or that is " good grammar,'' or to teU what
is the '•authority "for this or that pronuncia-
tion. But I step afiide^ from my regnlar coarse
to-day to consider, for my reader'*3ak«s, not my
own, some remarks that have beeti made upon
the two articles upon American speech. And
here, by the way, in the words of
*at grammarian in morals, Mr. Pecksniff,
*' an eligible opportunity . offers ** for the news-
paper criticaster of the period, whose field is the
world, to show his competence and my incompe-
tence in English, by pointing out that in the last
sentence I have said, ** for my readers' sakes.
not my own [sakes.]" I leave the sentence as it
stands, partly not to deprive him of his little
pleasure, but chiefly because it gives me the op-
portunity of saying that although the phrase is
quite right as it stands, many good writers pre-
fer the form "for the sake of my readers, not
my own." I naturally, however, and uncon-
sciously used the first, from an instinctive pref-
erence of the English possessive in a over that
formed by of, which is not so truly English. It
would have been right enough to say, " for my
readers' take, not my own ;" the use of such a
word as sake In the singular or in the plural
being a matter of taste, to be decided
by personal preference, and by the impression
desired to be conveyed. And this, by the way,
is true in regard to a great many points, as to
the "correctness" of which one way or the
other I am sorry to find that not a few people
fall into vain disputation. The use of language.
— of the English languagta — so lon^ as words
have their right meaning, and thoughts their
logical connection, is in a great measure a mat-
ter of taste. It is an art belonging to the do-
main of fiesthetios, and is in no sense a science.
ai some people seem to think it. In this, as in
iiU arts, success is justilicatiou- If you produce
the intended impression, it makes no matter
upon what ■• rule" you trample. Eminent e.x-
amples in point are Shakespeare, Carlyle, and
BrowTiing: although the latter has been led by
his early success in free writing, as to both con-
struction and system, into deplorable vagaries,
which deform his later poems.
As to pronunciation according to spellinsr, a
discreet and courteous critic in the Evening Poxt
suggests that Delhi (which, as I have passed
some happy days there, and have sent thither
some friendly letters, I knew well was In Dela-
ware County, not in Allegany, as I erroneously
wrote.) may be properly callea Dell-high instead
. of DaUy. and Cairo, in Dlinois. Cay-ro instead of
• Cah-^-ro, on the ground that people may •' nro-
nounce the name of their town in a way of their
own." True enough. And if the people who
live at the place in Illinois absurdly named
Cairo choose to call it Cay-eye-ro. (which I
wonder much they have not done.) they have a
perfect right to do so. Indeed, if they choose
to xrrite it Cairo and pronounce it Kamtschatka.
I know no court which hag the power to issue
an order to show cause why it should be pro-
nounced in that way, or in any other. But if
there is reason in the roasting of eggs, and there
Is, or there should be, there may also be
a little in the pronunciation even of proper
names, those "chartered libertines" of lan-
guage. My point is this, that certain people
have absurdly chosen to give to a little rural
town in New- York the name of a great city in
Hindostan — Delhi, and certain others to |^&w,
nondescript place in Illinois the name^f an
ancient city in Egypt, Cairo ; and yet that ihei;
don't give them those juzmes. For the names are
the words, the sounds, not the combinations of
black signs on paper. Kow Dell-high or
High^leU .would be as fitting and admir-
able a name for one of these places as
Delhi is tmfitting and ridiculous, (and I happen
to know just how it came to be so called.) But
to mean to give it the latter name, and yet. be-
cause of the way in which the name is spelled.
to give it th^ former, is surely a reduplication of
absurdity. And so as to Cairo.
[Oddly and aptly, while I am writing a letter
comes to me from Delhi, which illustrates and
establishes what I have ju.st said. The writer,
a resident there, after taking a cut at my hetero-
phemic blunder as to the county, wind-
ing up with the very appropriate morel reflec-
tion, •' "Well, there are some people who never
tan learn," says : "• I fear the crass indiffer-
ence to pronunciation which exists in Dell-high
will never be cured. I said Delli/ and Daily for
years, but to no effect. I had your amendment
printed in the Exprea», however " — the county
paper.]
The same writer objects to my cen.sure of Amer-
icans' speech because in speakingthey pay " too
much attention to the utterance of consonant
sounds." He says that " the chief difference
between slovenly, indistinct enunciation and
clear, distinct enunciation is mainly a differ-
ence in the attention given to consonants."
This, again, is quite true, as any intelligent
person will see upon a moment's reflection. For
it is chiefly by consonants that words have form,
and that speech becomes- clear and intelligible.
But the terms used by this critic are not con-
vertible. The " attention given to consonants''
is one thing, the "utterance of coBSomint
sounds" quite another. Strictly speaking, a
pure consonant cannot be "uttered." The
function of the consonant is to check the utter-
ance, or the giving out, of the voice. It is by
their interruption of the vowel sounds, in which
only the voice is given out, that consonants
break up words into syllables, and produce ar-
ticulate, that is jointed, speech. Without con-
sonants, language would be as formless as the
bellowing of bulls. The articulation of words,
of English words at least, should be clear, almost
^hat we call sharp. This gives speech crispness,
a quality much more apparent in British speak-
ing of English than in " American. " " Ameri-
cana " are noted for slovenliness in this respect.
The great English phonologist, Mr. Alexander
Kills, remarked upon this to me. He said, for
example, that very few Americans pronounced
the r in the middle of words, but said ve--y for
very and Ame-iea for America. 'RTiether this
ta as generally true as he implied, I shall not
undertake to say ; bnt Mr. Ellis has a delicate
ear and Is a very careful observer. Defective
■a " American " speech may be in this respect,
however, It errs greatly, on the other band, in
the dweljbig upon certain consonants in certain
other positions; in the attempt to "utter"
them, to make much of them, more than the
mer^ dear division of syllables ; for example,
in the prolongation of nf? in words like " sing,''
and in aaytpg of-ten instead of ofn or oftn. It
is to this fanlt that I meant to direct attention.
Iflwas In error, and "Americans" have not
this faQlt, and do not speak as if they had the
speDing-book In mind, so much the better. I
at laast, am pleased, although my counsels and
my eritieiams are scattered to the winds.
It is, however, chiefly what I have said about
the spceeh of " American " women that has
elleiled comment, and on the part of some at
least of my fair readers provoked such wrath
that it bringi to mind Virgil's slyly gallant es-
damattoii Imown to sehool'boys, " iantan* a*i-
md* ■nirii«nM« imm./" .7 eaosot taka haoiE one
TTord of it, bnt I will notice one great n Isappre-
hensioo of it. Whaj I said had no t iference
whatever to the correct English, the «o< ial poid-
tion, or the " culture [' (I am somewhai sick of
the word, and of whU it often meaus, of the
subjects of my remarlfs. It is not at al a ques-
tion of gentility. I said that I heard Ihis un-
pleasant sort of speech every ' lay. I
meant that I heard it in ths cars,
in the street, and iiJ public places ge aerally.
My daily intercourse with ladies is alm< st con-
fined to the members of two familiei whose
speech is altogether without this taint. But I
have in mind four women, ladies of t ae first
social position, members of families whi ih have
for generations beeni cultivated socia ly and
intellectually, whose 'speech is signally, indeed
excruciatingly, had in this respect ; an I I am
80.rry to say that in th^s they are represi ntative
women ; although, as I said before, th ;re are
many American women whose voic iS and
speech are beautiful. Xow, an Englishw( man of
the lowest position in life, a hotise-maid a bar-
maid, a Sairey GJamp, is almost sure to sp ak in a
clear, soft, sweet voice, and with eve i tones.
Mrs. TroUope in her fienna and iht A istrians
has a passage in which she remarks ipon a
faulty utterance among the Anstrians, which
I quote becau.se of its i>earmg in this and in
other respects upon our subject, ^ Triting
of Prince Jlettemich. the great Prince,
she says: "His voice is low, and sweet,
qualities particularly felt in a A'ienna d awing-
room. where the echoes, it must be coi fessed,
are not seldom awakened by tones mo -e loud
and harsh than could be met elsewhei ). His
enunciation is extremtely distinct, with an em-
phasis so light that he never appears U talk in
italics ; and yet no strehgth is lost by tl e want
of it." Mrs. TroUope here by impUcat on de-
scribes a perfect speech : low, sweet, strong,
clear in enuncia^on, and yet with lig it em-
phasis." I met with this passage only t\ o days
ago. and found in it the very phrase. *' talk in
italics," which some time ago I had ap] ilied to
the speech of most American women ; or a great
cause of the harshness of whose speech : a their
attempt to make almost every word em phatic.
It is worthy of notice that Mrs. Troll ape re-
marks els*vfher« upon " the extreme ( ryness
of the atmosphere ' in Vienna, upon
its alternations of very great coH and
very great heat ; and also that " the
ordinary beverajje both for mtUes and 1 [>males
is water, and that is taken by both so copiously
as to be a matter of constant astonishnjent to
us." The same remark as to watcr-drinKing by
Americans has l)een frequently made bfr Eng-

them as they like, it makes no matter. They'
are not English. The ideas which they ire in-
tended to convey are expressed in Eng! ish by

it is pronounced simply as if it were ^ -ritten

j-Voin Oar Own Corre^otuUiU.
I>CBLiN, Saturday, July 28, 1877.
I am Sony, for more reasons than one, Tt
hare to aoDounce that yet another hat has been
sent spinnir 5 in this impoverished metropolis.
The collect! )n for the last contest in Tipperary
has termiuaSed, and the Butt testimonial seems
tohaVe coUnpsedfor the present; and just as
we all! thought that the poshnan had ceased to
worryi us ^rith epistles praying for pecuniary
assistance, a very notable hat indeed suddenly
appeared on the rounds. No lesa a personai^e
than Mr. latrick James Smyth, member of
Parliament for Westmeath County, has found
it necjessarj to supplement his resources and
assist his iua^inatton by an appeal to his
couutrymen, The genius of honorary secre-
taries in the matter of "reasons why*' has long
been prover'>ial ; but it is only in my own dear
country that a testimonial would be started in
favor of a nan who has quarreled with every
party add w tb every clique, who has defied all
authority ard all influence, who has denounced
every living Irishman of note, and every liviug
Englishman of eminence, who despisesHome Rule
and detests English supremacy, who fought
with Young Ireland against O'Counell, and who
now flgbts \itli O'Conuell's bones against th©
friend's ot federalism. Mr. Sm.rth is a very
clever mian. He has all the instincts of a French
revolutiil>nist. That he is a man of sincerity is
certain, jbut his sincerity is of that sort which
you find' most often in men of thin purpose and
moderate understanding. Ho siuoei'ely believes
in himself, and sincerely doubts everybody else.
His action Is invariably colored with a touch of
romance, the effect probably of a very romantic
career. If Mr. Smyth's life bud closed success-
fully, the whole story might have been written
for the entertainment and the instruction of
mankind. As it is. it is worth uutiug as show-
ing how greUt abilities imd consistent energy
may bring al man to a subscriptlou list, trven
though liis personal desires be few and ines-
peusive. Mr. Smyth was one of thf* clever
youngsters who make Irishmen of I84S re-
spected among the revolationists of ihat revo-
lutionary year. -'He escaped the State trials
which consigned Mitehol an<l Jleagher
and 3Iartin and O'Brien to banishment He
tied to America, and when Mitchel w.'is
planning his escape from Van Dieuien's I^and,
tjmyth vfas editing 11 uon.^eubical paper in Kica-
rairlia. In thut wonderful thesaurus of e^oti.-<ni.
cleverness, and donuneiatioii, JvJui MitcheVit
"Jail Jt^umal" we have whole chapters about
Nicaragua Smyth — his coura<re. his devotion. hLs
extreme readiness to Hounything and everything
tliat might stnjure the n-deasc of bi« friend-
Very vivid, indeed, iti that sketch ^in which
Mitchel shows himself and Nicaragua, fi.'c-
chambered revolver in hand, entering the office
of Mr. Uunu, the local magistnite, and. while
Smyth stands at the door, ready to shoot down
the crier fur aasi?itauce. Mitchel announces bis
resolve to break his parole and to escape if he
can. Mr. Uunu sits in consternation, the two
policemen swing their caiblues iiUy. and,
>Xitchel having siiid hl^ ij^y. walks out. He
and Nicaragua m.mnt twofswift horses, which
stand ready at the door, and the ridt* for life
liegins. For three days andknigbts these two
fugitives wander and wiitch. tiie <-ountry mean-
time being scoured fur th*; notorious rebel. At
last they get on board a vessel bound fur
friendly I ports, and the friendship of a life-
time is isealed by the heroism and gratitude
which the big adventura had evoked. Now, it'
ilr. Smyith ha<i not been a foolish lover of Ire-
laud, and if Mr. Mitchel iiad been content with
a life of j silent work evermore. the;<e two men
might have betoken themselves to the gold dig-
irings. which in thesv years were the re*jrt of
the distressed and indebted of all parts of the
world. Mr. Symlh has since actually laid claim
to patriotism on the store that instead of mind-
ing his proper business then, he devuted himself
to newspapers in the interest of bis oppressed
nation. Now. I believe natriotism is too sacred
fur scorn and is above all ridicule, but patriot-
ism, like relia^iou itself, must be practiced with
some deferential regard to what we have agreed
to call common sense. anO when a man spen<ls
himself in talking sunburstery and stuff to Irish-
men in America, instead of working for comfort
and ease] for his old ago and his family's old agti,
I begin to think the man has mistaken his vol-u-
fion. MK Smyth fell into newspaper ways and
waged the war of Ireland with a gooso-quill every
day for many years. The result was what one may
always expect when a rostlo>s:inan fights battles
with' countless but unseen f^fs. He lougs for
the real tleld, for close quartei'x.^r the excite-
ment of the old company, and the sympathy of
the old audience. It is v^iry much more sutis-
factorv to be haranguing the real down-trodden
Irishman in his native land than to be whisper-
ing mighty but absurd schemes into the ears of
the Celts who have t'ouud plenty and independ-
ence under the Stars and Stripes.
ilr. Smyth came home and began the old game
of talk — a game which has been played ever
since the sorrows of Erin first tested the pity
and the patience of mankind. \Vbile ho con-
tinued his tale of sorrows the world went oncut-
ting bread and buKer, so to speak, and all at-
tempts to mi?e the tlag were attended with most
disastrous failure. He did nut grow rich in these
eOorts, but he continued to keep himself, as the
tihnise goes. " before the countrj.*' When the
! Home Rule idea was formulated, he accejj ted it
I as the hope of Ireland, and having contested
I the Citv of Waterfurd in vain, he contested tlie
County of \Vestmeath with success. His mar-
riage brought him something, much more than
his polities hud ever brought him ;
and f>eing a very inexpensive man. he
continued poor and proud and humbly
independent. Then came the quarrel
with the Home Rule Party ; then tho quarrel
with Mr. Butt ; then be joined the party of Ego-
mania, represented by Alderman MacSwiuey
and a certain professor of mathematics ; and
this coming into speedy eclipse, he found him-
self perdu. His quarrels were conducted with
a venom that can only be- explained by the
blight which has followed every effort of his
life. The man is by nature uncompromising,
and it has beeu his fate to be forced by circum-
stances into a series of compromises, tlie more
abrupt as they advanced. First he declared for
Young Ireland and the sword ; then be declared
for moral force and the platform ; then ho
talked treason and toleration bv turns ; then ho
settled down to Mr. Butt and rfome Rule ; then
he set up the standard of Smyth and repeal ;
now he is the solitary representative of his
f resent faith and the subject of a testimonial,
bavo seen a list of subscribers who have
"sympathized" to the tune of £350, which
now represents the sum of £14 per annum. I
believis there will be a few hundred more ob-
tained, and then "the small estate " said to be
iricurribered maybe redeemed and the man re-
stored to his ongiual poverty. Is it not a sad
story i Here we have aman of considerable powers,
good education, quick purpose, and rapid de-
cision— a sort of man who would have been a
good General of a division; he works every
day of his life, and yet tinds himself, without
any extravagance or misconduct of his own, re-
duced to the necessity of hat- whirling in his old
ace. Like most Irishmen, he is a good speaker.
Sir. Disraeli haTsing heard his speech in opposi-
tion to Home Rule, exclaimed, " Hpre's Grattan
again V^ He writes well ; he is a member of the
Bar, and he has a seat in Parliament. But
what do all these things avail a man whose en-
ergies have been devoted to keeping alive fool-
ish and fatal strifes, who has trifled with all
things, from the sword of O'Brien t» the flag of
Fenianism, from tho moral force of O'Connell
to the simpering suavity of Butt 1 I confess I
am sorrv for the man, and if 1 heard that, in-
.stead o^ the subscription list, he was about to
abjure nonsense and politics and betake him-
.self to the business of tho par, I would not de-
spair that even Vet he would gain a place among
men worthy his better nature and his powers.
Very different in character and calibre was Sir
Colman O'Loghlen who died suddenly on the
passage &om England to Ireland last Sunday ;
but in two pointa the careers of the men were
not unlike. Sir Colman was the eldest son of
Sir Michael O'Loghlen, the first Catholic ever
appointed ^ * Judgeship in Ireland. When
the Act of Emancipation opened the higher
prizes of professional and political life to Cath-
oUcSt Micha- 1 O'Loghlen was created a baronet^
and made Master of the Rolls. His 9on, the
second baronet, was called to the Bar In 1840.
He was Junior counsel for Smith O'Brien In
184S. and ereatly distingnlabed hiiasalf bv hia
feife^^Ka&^fec4-^-
astuteness and ready speech. He was regarded
as the most t>romi9ing young barrister of the
day, and busi less ponre<l upon him from all
quarters. In addition to the abilities with
which nature had endowed hlni. she had given
him one of thi ) swefilest and most generous tem-
pers eve^ possessed by man. To say that young
.O'Loghlen wi.s admired is to say nothing ; ho
was the Idarlin :; o^ all his acquaintances, and the
hero of I bis :'riends. None the les.s, he soon
proved that he could set aside prophecy and de-
feat hope. ;H< I entered upon the paternal e.s-
tates with ev sry prospect of happiness, ahd
in a few years he found himself
in the I u most need and distress.
I cannot tell you, for nobody knows, what Sir
Colman ^vcr did with money. He was tem-
perate, hd was pure, he was modest, he was free
from thel sins which co.<rt money. He never
married, land he lived for the most part in
the houses of friends who were delighted with
his society and elevated by his conversation.
Clever men tave puzrfed themselves to know
what Dr. Joh ason did with the orango-peels ;
but that.myistcry is not greater than this touch-
ing the sudden and constant evanishment of all
Sir Colman^s iraeans. But the most reihark-
able fact in connection with his povertj^ is this,
the poorer he became tho less Was he inclined
to work. .Had ho attended to his profession,
his learning^ his abilities, his popularity would
have command ed a large and constantly-increas-
ing income. | A » a matter of fact, he deliberately
walked away from his profession, and was to
be seen dnlv in as.si2e courts prosertuting on
behalf of th^ c rown. If ho netted ilDOO a year
by this, the jupDOsition touches incredulity.
At one tiiue the Government gave him a
county Judges lip, worth about £1^000 a year.
His creditors Itegan to clamor for this; they
begged of [him to live on his private resources
and , to allojca^ this bulk .sum to them. Sir
Colman was he very soul of honor, and his
good-nature w; is boundless ; but h» would not
be pestered by brokers, and riather than suffer
any inconvenience from their importunity, he
resigned the .Fudgeship altogether. He then
entered Pariia raont for his native county,
Clare, the com: ty which first sent O'Connell to
the House. H 're he made many friends and
admirers ; but he never achieved a single tri-
umph. The c< netant pressure of hLs indebted-
neBs seemed to kill the soul of the man, and yet
he made no eff >rt to rehabilitate bis fortunes.
Mr. Gladstone was especially attracted by his
ability .and his amiability, and when he came
into poVerht conferred the office of Judge
Advocate Geueral upon Sir Colman. The
duties wprt; nil The Judge Advocate saw the
Queen twice u week, and obtained her sign
mauual to the < lazttUt announcements. He held
this post {w6rt 1 £2.000 a vear) for three years,
and lueii begax to think that at last all would
end well with the best of good fellows. But
Nemesis was u >t idle. Sir Colman one day bor-
rowed itlOO Iroina Dublifl Jew. and made, as
he had often matlu before, sume absurd promise
touching rebu; 'meut. Bill day. came and no
money, and in s. fit of spleen the Jew posted to
London undiiaji.de .Sir Colman a bankrupt. The
law as to the bi ukruptcy of members ot Parlia-
ment hai;l just ( ome into force. Mr. Gladstone
was very surn . He was most anxious to save
his friend, Im: his .friend was quite unmoved,
wroto liis r[*<i ^nation, and closed the affair
definitely. Yo 1 can hardly Imagine how sorry
everj'body was for poor Sir Colman ; but he ap-
peared to regartl the mi-sfortune from a stoic's
point of Ivieiir. He did one thing, indeed, which
made nidtlem \ orse^for his sympiitliizers. He
went to the Ba: ikruptcy Court, raised a point of
law. carried It to the appeal court, v.-on it. and
succeeded in at uiitUng the order of bankruptcy.
In fact, be never was legally bankrupted; but
he had resignet his olTlee first and vindicated
his charactei* alterward. Anybody but Sir Col-
man would hav » reversed the process, and held
on to the £'J,Ol.O a year. Is not the story thor-

tative succeedeu in arresting all business, and
the temper ul' the English members was sorely
tried, .^tr. Buti vehementlv opposed this "aim-
less policy,*' bmt Mr. Butt's influence has run
low of lute. When he found a man of some
note in DUbli 1 1 ropoaiug that a vote of £4,200
ought tobe nisiste*! by successive motions, re-
ducing the suup by £1, and therefore having
4,*J1>0 divisions! it was clear that the poison had
spread. How cvjer, the day of reckoning was at

Tjift bill under discussion was 0116
which annexed the Transvaal to Great Britain,
and Mr. Parhell] opposed the measure, saying:
*-* I am an Irishman, and I know what English
rule and English tyranny have done for my
country, and therefore I have an interest in
thwarting th« llesigns of the Government in
this caseJ" Noiv, tliis was a perfectly iQgiti-
mate utteraucei Any man may oppose the
Government .aiid thwart it, and he has a right
to say thsit, having seen the effects of a certain
policy, 1ms will oppose any development of that
policy. Sir :»tafford Northcote, however,
thought be saw |i contemptuous defiance of the
House of Commons in the expression, and he
jumped up and moved that "the words be
taken down.'' This formula is employed when-
ever a member has said that which any other
member thinks, ought not to have been said.
WTien this bappl-ns, the offender is heani in re-
ply, and an a]>ol|»gy usually terminates the dif-
ficulty. Mr. Paj-nell, however, simply told the
House that he lelievedwhat be had 'said, that
it was quite rigli t to say it, that he had nothing
to retnu:t. and t lat he would abide the issue.
The Speaker then directed him to with-
draw, and he \alkedoutof the House. The
Chancellor theu moved that he be suspended
from servinjg until Friday. (this hap-
pened on Wtdresday ;) whi-reupon a debate
ensued, and th(; sense of all parties seemed
strong against tl e Chancellor. He then agreed
to an adjourn! ue it of the debate, and >Ir. Par-
nell returned :o : lis place and resumed his re-
marks as thoLtgi nothing had occurred. On
Thursday; the ChanceCor proposed that the
order for adjo irnmeut be read and discharged,
thus retreatirg from his position. This was a
great triumph f< r the obstructives. Yesterday
the Chancelloi novedand carried a couple of
resolutions proh biting any member from mov-
ing adjournments more than twice, and em-
powering thel S])eaker to take a division with-
out a debate upon the conduct of any member
whom he believed to be willfully obstriicting the
progrjess of business. The House can punish by
rejjrimand, or bylcomraittal to jail, or by expul-
sion, and the fees of the Sergeant-at-arms who
makes the arrest amount to about £400.
The sLn of contempt possesses various
sha<les. When tjlie action • complained of has

From our Special CorrtspondetiU
GnjRGEvo, Tuesday.. Jiily 24, 1877.
Nothing more wretched and inane can
be conceived than the bombardment of yester-
day. Except a few shells sent among the houses
of the town, just to show, as it were, that
"petit honhomtne vit encore," the Turks did not
deign to take any part in the performance,
whose only result seems to be the proving of the
inability of the Russian Chief of Artillery at Slo-
bodja to keep his promise of reducing Rus-
tchukin three days. They let tho town alone on
this occasion, and directed all their fire on the for-
tifications in rear and again.st the troops, who
were supposed to be under canvas upou the hill-
top, but without doing much harm, as all the
garrison had gone out to fight a column which
had attacked from the Pyrgos side, where the
Czarewiteh is in person. It seems that this
Prince has decided that Rustchuk must fall on
or before the 27th of July. The Commander-
in-Chief, on the day of the passage at Sistova,
had explained the vital necessity of the capture
of this place' at an earlj* period of the campaign,
because of its position on the line of railway
communications with Roumauia and with the
interior. Thereupon the heir to the throne re-
plied, without a moment's hesitation— be it
borne in mind that this is his first
campaign — " You shall have the fortress
within a month." He has just three days left
during which he must fulfill his promise, but, as
the attack on the land side yesterday utterly
failed. I fear that ho will not be able to keep his
imperial word, tinlesshemanagestobuyoverthe
Turkish Governor, as was done at Varna in
1S2S. One thing, at all events, is certain : As
I wrote a few days ago, Rustchuk is not com-
pletely invested, and wiser counsels in the staff
have prevailed against the suicidal exposure of
the Russian right wing to an attack from
Shumla in the rear. The new Commander-in-
Chief of the Army of the Danube. Meheraet
All, is reported to have arrivedat head-qTiarters.
and, as all new brooms sweep clean, he will
probably show some energy and endeavor to
repair the mischief caused by his predecessor's
stupidity and inaction. He enjoys a high repu-
tation, and, possibly, may accomplish some-
thing if his troops will fight, although his es-
ploit.s against the Bosnian insurgents were not
crowned with any very striking success.
Mehemet Ali Pasha i:^ a Prussian renegade, the
son of a music master in Berlin, who was adopted
by the late Aoli Pasha, when that great Turkish
statesman was Ambassador at the court of
*' Pious William." I caiiuot speak of him. ex-
cept from hearsay, but I have been furnished
with some very trustworthy details of his char-
acter and manners by a gentlethan who passed
several months in his company in Bosnia at the
close of 1875. He commanded last year the
army which beat the Servians, under Gen.
Zach, in front of Novi Vagar. and would have
marchetl immediately upon Belgrade if the
great war-horse, Abdul Kerim, then operating
against Alexinatz, had not forbidden the move-
ment. He studied at the Russian Jlilitary
School, wliere he graduated with con-
siderable distinction, was promoted rap-
idly to the rank of Ferik, and would
long before this have occupied a more
prominent position in the Ottoman Array
but for the death of his protector and the hos-
tility of the Grand Vizier Mahmoud, for whom
Mehemet All has a particular aversion. Some
months before the overthrow and suicide of
Abdul Aziz Khan, the General spoke freely of
the necessity of his dethronement iu order to
inaugurate the reforms without which Turkey
must inevitably perish. His pet hobby is
'* financial honesty.'' That a great Empire like
that of tlie Osmanli should refuse to pay its cou-
pons, and shouldallowitssignature to bo protest-
ed, he cannot understand, and he would '* hang
■every one of those robbei^ who thus
bring disgrace upon a nation." We can
readily understand his virtuous Indig-
nation when we consider that 3Iehemet
Ali. who was adopted from chai ity,
and whose father, declining to become a rene-
gade, is literally starving in Berlin, has amassed
a very large fortune, but that the non-payment
of the aforesaid coupons cuts down his revenXies
by about 100,000 francs annually. He had a
disappointment in love about a year ago ; a very
handsome but portionless girl of good family^
Mile. Antoinette de S , attracted his fancy,
and some of the ' friends of her family endeav-
ored to Dring about a marriage, where a hand-
some settlement and all the rights aud privi-
leees of a European wife would be guaranteed
before the French authorities. What the young
lady herself tliought about it I canuot say. but
her mother was not to be bought over eveu by
the great man's tempting offers, and, in spite of
the penury of her household, replied to the ne-
gotiator of the affair that "shohad suffered
much, but until then had beeu spared the in-
sult of an offer of marriage by a Prussian, who
added to the disgrace of his nationality the stig-
ma of apostasy." Mehemet Ali was very much
cut up by the rejection of his suit, aud has since
then been distinguished for his ultra-Islaniism
and his severity toward "Rayah dogs," as he
calls Christians in generaL
Rumors are afloat of a reverse in the Balkans.
but where is not exactly known, as the capture
of the Schipka Pass leading to the Col de Kasan
and the Valley of Kasanlik has not boon con-
firmed. A corpa (Tann/e, however, has certainly
pas.sed the Balkans, and is intrenching at Eski-
•Saghra, whither Suleiman Pasha, with his
troops from Montenegro, reinforced by the
Army of Adrlanople, is marching to attack it.
This much we do know : the division detached
against Plevna, an open town on the mililarj'
road leading to the Valley of the Osma,
has been badly beaten. I have seen a
copy of the dispatch from the Russian head-
quarters to the Roumanian Gen. ^lano at
Islacz and Turnu-Magtirelli, ordering him to
"occupj- NikopoUs immediately, us Gen.
Kriidener's corps was needed to reinforce the
column at Plevna, wnich was iu imminent dan-
ger," Details of the engagement are wanting,
but from my knowledge of the position and of
the resource.^ of the Turkish Army in tho
Vilayet of Widdin, I am inclined to believe that
Osman Pasha has occupied a ridge of hills about
1,400 feet above the plain, covered witli brush-
wood aud small trees, which bars the entrance
into the. great alluvial plain of Loftcha, and
has forced a battle, with the advantage of po-
sition. From a mere comparison of numbers it
will be readily seen that the chances must have
been in favor of the Osmanli, who, with
the division of 7.000 men from Rahova and
such troops as Osman Pasha chose to detach
from Atlie and Widdin, not more than a day's
march distant, could oppose 15,000 troops I0
the 10,000 or 12.000 Russians who are at-
tempting to work their way westward. There
is no doubt of this defeat, which, although it
will not have any serious l)earing in itself upon
the ultimate success of the campaign, demon-
strates the very bad strategical combina-
tions of the Russian staff, in splitting
up the army Into small fractions, and
operating upon a number of eccentric
lines not iu direct communication with
each other. Perhaps we are on the eve of a
change of programme ; possibly of a turn of the
wheel of fortune. It was all plain sailing and a
succession of *' official victories " in Asia for a
long time, until the renegade Feizy Pasha —
Kolman — took in hand the (direction of affairs,
and then the Russians were obliged to raise the
siege of Kara, and Grand Duke Michael retired
for his health to Tiflis. In tactics the BussIaus
are undeniably superior to their enemies. Be-
tween, the courajze of the aaJdipj-e at tltA «nr<x
Annies there is not much to choose ; but there
is such an utter, want of all strategical
knowledge on both sides that wher-
ever a man of eveu ordinary ability
shows himself there will be the victorj-.

fidgety and discontenteil. and verj- anxious to

would certainly be enchautwl to get back again
to Constantinople, where his influence must in-
crease if he can .succeed in coming to a direct
pacific understanding with the Porte without
the intervention of England, or of any of the
powers who were parties to the Treatv of Paris.
This is his aim, and it is to defeat this that an
EuKlish contingent will occupy Gallipoli,
and an English fleet protect Constantino-
pfo. Tho conditions to be offered are: 1.
The destruction of all the Turkish fortresses
along the Danube. 2. The erection of Bulgaria
into an atitonoinic State, after the manner of
Servia and Roumauiii. with its own national
Militia and interior administration — this ^lilitia
Ls to be the so-called Corps of Bulgarian Volun-
teers, which has not been put in face of the

Jack Folstaff; the interior administration is

t:iin line of defense. 4. The expatriation of

little war indemnity, in the shape of The cession
uf one-half of the Turkish fleet, and of a slice
of territory in Asia, probably of Bntoum. whose
f>i>rt will be imnieni-eJy useful to the
{ussian possessions in the Caucasus. It is very
possible, although by no means sure, that the
Porte mar accept these terms if left to itself,
but whatever maybe the protestations, and even
tiie real intentious of England, if only an Ene-
lish CotPoral's guard lands at Gallipoli the
Turks will see in the demonstration a sign of
English sympathy, and t^-i]l not thi-ow up the
sponge. All the Russian diplomatists know this,
and as they know also thst they are in imminent
danger of beingembroiled with Austria, against
this they are eudeavorins to take defensive
measures by the formation of an armv at
Ploiesti. and" by the concentration of a corps uf
observation on the frontiers of Gallicia. The
general opinion is that peace will be concluded
within the next six weeki, but as the same gen-
eral opinion pronounced against the probabili-
ties of the outbi-eak of hostilities, and would
nut believt in auything but a demonstration, and
a game of brag, eveu after t'ue Arinv uf Kisbe-
neff had cross<.-d the Pruth. some doubts may
be legitirautely entertaijied of the i.rornptnesg
of a purifif solution. The Roum;inians «re de-

the Pr:nee«s sent, all the way from Bucharest,
a wreath of inm-.ortcUfS to be placed upon the

the only military victim — the others being two
uM women and a cow — of the " terrible" fire of

Apropos of the secrecy observed by the Rus-
sian admiuistnttion. I will cite two anecdotes :
When the Emperor left for the front six weeks
a;ru the imperial triiin was directed fromPUoesti
upon Siatina. \Mien about half way. his
Maiesty received a dispatch announcing'the ar-
rival of a Cabinet courier with an important
communication from Count Schouvaloff in Lou-
don, and gave orders that the messenger should
follow without dolav. but was unable to specify
at what point woufd be formed the imperial
head-<jnarters. He was quite as much in the
dark when lie gut to Siatina. where a Colonel
was in waiting with his Majesty's escort and
ctirrJBtre : the Colonel gi-it on the box with the
driver and piinteil out the road ; at the end of
a few miles he was repl.iced by atiotlier officer.
and he ag;iin by a tiiird, so that there were
thrcf relays of guides before the Emperor ar-
riveil ai the head-auartersof the Comra'ander-in-
Chi'-f. Of the other example I was a "Viitness.
The train was about to leave the station of
n.iuiassi fur (iiurgevu. from which it is only a
few miles distant. Officers, soldiers, and Gene-
rals were in their places, and the bell had
sounded the signal for departure, when the
station-master came hurriedly out of his ofiSoe
and ordered a delay of 20 minutes after the
hour fixed on the time-tables, because the des-
tinaticin «f the troops had been changed, and as
no one knew whither they were to proceed they
must wait for iUNtructions. Ten minutes after-
ward an aide-de-cami> galloped up. called the
stution-master aside, opened a sealed envelope
which he took from his ix^cket, whispered the
instrtictions to him " and tho engineer,
and then rode awav again. Where
they went to I never lieanl, but all the
civilians were ordered out of tlie carriages.
another locomotive was put in rear of the train,
wliich steamed off in the opposite directio:*"..
while we were left to await the nest conveyance
and to meditate over snd criticise the beautiful
system of insuring secrecy fur evet^' ojieration,
be it important or ijisignifi<*ant. There is some-
thing almost childish in all these precautions
for what, after all, is often only the secrtt de
pQlichindle.
A .SEynA-TIOXAL ADYEXTVRESS.
The London Court Circul-ir of July 2.s has the
following paragraph from Paris: "The trial of an
adveiiliu-oss whose identity the Police have not yet
been able to fix. bat who for tlie present lias assumed
the title of Countess de Sp.iur, has cau.sed quite a
sensation. She was ch.-irged with swiiniluig and ob-
tiiiiihiir jroods under faKu 7iretf uces, aii.l «t tlie har
with her appeared a French entjineer named Coiret,
a niiiii of distinction iu his profession, who was in-
dicted as .in accomplice iu her frauds. The female
has at different tiiues passed as the Count©s.s Batthy-
aui. Mme. I'X'xhul, Barviiess de Charlestuwn, M.ir-
quise rtEmblte. and Couuttss de Montfort. She had
incurred a debt of 1^,000 francs at the Prince of
Wales' Hotel under the name of the Countess do
Spaor. which is that of a yonug Aastrian Lieuten-
ant with whoDi s'ue had beeu on terms of uitimiicy.
but who. on beisg subsequently written to by the
hotel proprietor, replied that the woman was not his
wife, and that he would not be resp'i:isib!e for her
debts. She had also run up bills at different shops
to the amount of 2ij,000 francs. The prosecution
has reason to believe that she is tlie daughter of a ■
cooper in Silesia,, in Prussia, and the trial was ad-
journed for furtfier inquiries."'

Two brief but significant statements may he

himself. First, th-it from the time the Park was

are untidy, the gardens tintended, the trees un-

and a general air of imtidiness about the wfaole ptoos

lie wasi. not aiitliorized to keep

he knew that from idle euriusity they
might unlock it; he. had never seen any
priutei'f insti-uetions. On the other hand, the
engin £ier testilied that printed instructions
had l».-en issued to the draw-tenders to see
that the draw was locked before each train
i>as9ed. It is well asceriaiiied that the dis-
ast»r was caused by tho draw being lelt
lio'iooked. and it is plain that' either there-
Wjs ho proper regulation to guard against
B-ieh an accident, or that it was not enforced.
fii is difficult,- in the present state
of our laws to obtain any adequate protec-
tion against such criminal negligence, or
any adequate punishment for it when it is
indulged in. The chief trouble is thaTit is
hard to prove willful negligence. Perhaps
il the presumjJtion were made by law to be
in favor of plaintiiis for damages in such
cases, and corporations held responsiBle for
all injury which t)n-y could not positively
show was unavoidable, a little more caj-e
might be, obtained.
, Our aorrespondent with the Kussijn forces
gives a sketch of the conditions of peace
which it was generally believed that the Czar
was, late in July, willing to offer to the Turks.
These included the destruction of the Turk-
ish, fortresses on the Danube ; the erection
ot a semi-independent State in Bulgaria,
pjractieally controlled by Kussia ; the free
Jiassage of the LiardanelJes, and a slice of
Asia (probably Batoum) for Kussia. It is
needless to say that since the clieek at Plevna
and the virtual abandonment of the Do-
brudscha the.se terras will either be greatly
modified, or summarily rejected. They are
■n substance such tei-ms as ouly absolute
«nd compk-te victory would justify the Kus-
uans inioffering^ and entire defeat excuse
the TurisK for accepting. That they were
considered at aU — and there is much reason
tor thinking that they were — only shows
how ■ great a change the events of the
last, fortnight have accomplished in the sit-
uation. '
The Labor Congress which has just closed
its seaiion in Toronto, Canada, reached
tome conclusions whieli were remarkable
for their moderation, as well as some Tvhieh
show the ordinary coBfusiou as to what the
Legislature can do or ought to do for those
who live by wages. Among the former was
a; recommendation that the Government
a'dould establish a bureau of labor statis-
tics, which is the kind of bureau that every
one would be benefited and no one harmedby.
The suggestion might be considered with
advantage by Mr. Staxley Ma-Tthews
and the amateur labor-reformers of Ohio.
Another excellent recommendation was one
in favor of the- application of co-operation
In production) and distribution. ' It is, of
course, well established by this time that
co-operationjis not a panacea for all the iEs
that labor is heir to, but it is capable, tm-
4jer eertaio/conditions, of doing a great deal
•of good. Xlspecially it is sure to teach those
•who undertake it that the position of the
capitalist is not a secure or easy one ; that
it requires foresight, prudence, self-denial,
»nd p«.tieiiit industry to reap even moderate
profits ; that the best systems of eo-opera-
tioa ' can only be made to succeed when
mairagers are found who can be, and who
srei, trusted icith considerable discretion,
anu that no scheme will do away with the
<lilSeTences which arise from the fact that
some men are more capable and more hon-
'iMt tlisii others. In fact, the greatest vii^
ta* of, eo-op«ratioii loay b* laid to be its
power to show tBe foolialmen of ijuay of
the working men's hopes and plans.
Less sensible aiid practical are tie sug-
gestions of the confess that a reductio a of the
hours of labor froik ten to nine hours would
necessarily promdie laborers' intei-es ts, and
that they can derive any considerai le ad-
vantage from being represented in Parlia-
ment by men of their own class. 1 labor
can be profitably employed and ci n earn
fair compensation, i there is no sound
reason for giving up 10 per cent,
of the time of] work, unles the
full ordinary tirae; is too mue i for
health, whichjit veryt seldom is. The work-
men sannot hope to get ten hours' p ly for
nine hours' work. There are laws o trade
more imperative than those of Parli iments
or labor congresses Tyhich forbid ths t, and,
except as an indirect advance of waj es, the
reduction of time is a vain and nn 'eason-
able device. As to direct represei tation,
the workings men duj;ht to xmder.stat d that
it is not mere voteS which they nee 1 in a
legislative body, bnt intelligence, ini uence,
and capacity. Wliether they can al' rays or
usually get thesej most readily an( com-
pletely from menl of their own rai ks is a
question which tliej can easily del ermine
tiiei
4s
for themselves. As a rule, they w U find
that any effort to get benefit from politics
will bring more harm than good, mo e dem-
agogy than real wi.sdom.
The movement to form an assoc ia tion of

EAMLY EEFCBLICAyiSil.
The modest celebration at " Downer's
Laniling" Thursday ojllte anniversary of
what ma}' justly bo'^KUed the birth
of the Free-soil Pai'ty. will suggest to
many Republicans considerations of no
small pertinence now. The Free-soil Party
was the root from wlii>'h sprang, rapid-
ly aud rigorously, the larger orgai ization
that finally became the Kcpiblican
Party. The essential idea of the former
remained till the outbreak of the
rebellion that of the latter also. 1 o tight
the perniciW»« and ruinous slave pow ?r with
weapons sauctionffd by the Constituti jn, and
for purposes clearly allowed by that instru-
ment, was the motjive of each, and i . would
be difficult to exaggerate the servi.-e per-
formed bvjjie men who first coneeiv ?d and
afterw:inl forced th^' adoption of tl " prin-
ciple that slaverirn;^ be compelled o leave
the yet untouchedl;eiti'itorj-of the Rep iblic as
" free soil." It wnsl that conceptioi which
made an anti-slavery political orgai ization
possible — which, iU'
ideed,
made it ini vitable
that the whole coiiutry should be div ided on
the well-defined issue of tho oxtei sion or
limitation of slavery, and which, w len the
critical moment ai last arrived, dr )ve the
slave power from its stronghold in 1 lie Na-
tional Government, and \vrote on the banner
of the nation Webster's motto, '• liberty
and union, one and inseparable.*'
Tho.se of us who can recall the shock
which " abojitioijism," jmre and simple,
gave to the siucerf aud ardent love of the
Union that bad gi-own up in the fii st half
centiu-y of our nlational life, ami .vho re-
member the bitterness with whicl those
were scoutetl whoi set opposition to slavery
above the integrity of the Federal lystcm,
can understand better tliau others
what a precious service to tht cause
of freedom it was to g ve it
a tenable staniling place witl in the
Union and consistent with the Constitution.
The achievement kvas another proof of the
political- s.igacity|of the Anglo-Sa.xi n race,
and of its capacity to find its way ou ; of dif-
ficulties which onjtheir face appear i rjsuper-
able. Had the last generation of ou public
men — it is hardly ah exaggeration t j speak
of the founders of the party of frc dom as
the last generation, when we ret iU the
names of St'MS'ER and WiLSOK am Ch.\se
and .Seward — had more of the fatal logical-
ness of the Latin minds and less of the
ruder common sense of the Engli; h, they
would have accepi ed the position o: insur-
gents against the ,' Ooverument, t len ap-
parently imprcgii ably held by th ; slaye
power. That was a position whic i many
able and devoted men, such as U. RP.ISON
and Phillii-s, and in araea.sure, G tEELEV,
felt compelled to take, frankly den luncing
the Union as an inseparable ally of slavery
and the Con.stitutiou as its blind inst ument.
It X was the position which mai e Mr.
Garrison' cry out against the fund. mental
law as a ■ ' league With death aud ; , cove-
nant with bell," and which indue ;d Mr.
Greeley, so late as ISGO, tocont implate
peaceable secession as the most ramane
solution of the vexed question of t lat day.
But the men who dnyeiited — it was r lally an
invention — the dobtrine of " free soil," real-
ized fully the enormous advantage of not
running counter to the patriotism, t le con-
servatism, or ! even the pr ijudices
of the great Ibody of the people.
They understood that in a I epublie
and under representative institution 3, they
must win their way, if at all, by me! ns with
which tlie ordinary' citizen could cooperate
and which would bot make of them )r their
associates political outlaws. From ;he po-
sition of G.4RRISOK and Phillips ey '.ry step
m advance made the way more diffie ilt and
dangerous. From the position of Adams
aud SuMSBR, every forward luoveme it made
the cause at once safer and more rt specta-
ble, as well as mare sure of success.
The essential characteristic of th b Free-
soil movement, therefore, was that it was
the nucleus of a practical political oi ganiza-
tion. The most remarkable .fact in its his-
tory was tl>e rapidity and vigor wit! i whicli
the mass of the intelligent voters g ithered
about its standard and formed tho Repub-
lican Party, whioh, advancing steadily and
in splendid unity on the line market out by
the first conception, finished by be loming,
after three national contests, not • >nly the
snseessfnl ebamDion of freedom wit \aa. the
Unioii, bqt tba champion of the Union
itselfi, whose eontitktted eziBteno« was in-
dissolubly linked with the complete triumph
of freedpni. No more significant proof of
the ■sjisdoni 6f the founders of the Free-
soil Party could be imagined than the fact
that in so short a time they compelled their
opponentslto yield to them their chief van-
tage groujJd, and to become themselves the
" disnnionists " which they had so long
charged the Free-soilers with being.
Another ISteresting consideration in this
connection is that " the Republican Party
was the creature of voluntary aud disinter-
ested] po^it ical effort. We do not mean to

It is for the party itself to say

The recenily adopted policy of tho Federal

to take an important part in party manage-
ment, is based ou confidence in the
Attachment of the party to

is without fojindation. Certain
it is, [that If the voters who believe that the

will show anything like the earnestness
wliieh seeured the original successes of the
party, \i vjill regain the power it has lost,

DEN',,,the iipothecary, were pounced upon.)
and (if Veing dragged before the AUIermaji
for (ionimitment to jail, uuless previou^sly
ynchedlby the populace, the Citizens' Com-
mittee decided to go iu a body to Wilkcs-
barre. ijnder a gunrd of Militia, to answer
the charge of " v.'illful murder " befor e an
-■Vldermaii there.
. But the lesson t aught by this incidenris
not all oa the surface. There e.\iits a very
daugerouS condition of society iu the Penn-
sylvania anthracite regions, produced by
the fjandering of demagogues to the lawless
element!. ' Much of the violence thitt has os-
cui-red there during the past twenty years
has been due to the tears of offlce-holdera,
office-seekers, aud party wire-pullers that
they might lose the votes of miners by ex-
eeuting'the laws and securing justice. "' I
have! seen," said iMr. F. B. Guwek, in his
memorable argument at the trial of M trN"LE7
last year, in the Court of Oyer and Terminer
of Schiiylkill County, for the murder of
b.iSOEP., the unfortunate young boss miner,
'■ 1 havi^ seen a society of murde.-ers aud as-
sassins having its members in the highest
places of this county. I have seen thorn
electfed to fill the positions of constables and
policje officers. I have seen a trusted mem-
ber of that tjand of murderers a Commis-
sioner of the county. I hive seen this or-
ganization wield a political power in the
State which has controlled tha elections of
a great Commonwealth. I h'ive received
the information of meetings between some
of thp highest officers of the State and the
chief of I the murderers, at which large sums
of money were paid to secui-e the votes of
this infernal association to turn the tide of
a State election." Now, it is true that the
crusade against the MoUie Maguires helped
to break up this terrible league of law with
crime. But inveterate habits are not easily
cast off. The same game to organize and
protect lawlessness under the shield of the
law itself will always be played in a region
where votes can be used as they have been
used in times past. It is not only evident
that the conduct of vigilance committees
like iha^ of Scranton is public-spirited and
heroic to an unusual degi'ee, but it is also
evident that there wiU always be poUtieians
and petty office-holders or offica-seekers
Willi ng to deliver up the protectors of so-
oiet) to the vengeance of the mob.
It miist be remembered that it was only
by i|are skill and perseverance that the
conspiracy of the Mollie Maguires was un-
raveled; The words wa have quoted from
Mr. GoWES's speech were no idle generali-
ties, struck out by t'ue sheer fervor of
orator}', In that part of his ai'garaeut which
treated of the discoveries made by Mc-
PARi.v> , the detective, he gave names and
offices.
and said: '"Then, at last, we
could go to P.iTSEY CoLLlN'S, tl^e Commis-
sioner of this county, aud say to him,
' Build well the walls of the new addition to
the prison, for you shall enter the walls that
you ^e now inuldise-f or- others. ' Then ire
cotild say to Jack Kehoe, the High Con-
stable of a great borotigh in this county :
' We have no fear of you.' Then we could
say to IjrED MoN'AGHAS, Chief of Police, and
murderer and j assassin : ' Behind you the
scaffold is prepared for your reception.'
Then WB could !s:'y to Pat Con'rt, Commis-
sioner of this county : ' The time has
ceased fvhen a Governor of this State dares/
to pardon a Mollie Maguire ; you have had
your last pardon.' Then we could say to
John Slattert, who wsis almost elected.
Judge of this coiirt : ' We know that of you
that it were better you had not been born
than that it shquld be known.' Then all of
us looked up."
Now, if the iSiIollie Maguires — an organi-
zation execrate i in the Schuylkill region,
and see retly hated even by the better class of
workmen, whom they terrorized — if such an
organization could have County Commis-
missioners andj county delegates to help
them, and thelir own agents as Chiefs of
Police and asi Constables, " and one of
their ndmber almost ou the Bench itself,"
what can we not expect to happen in the
mining | regions \^hen organized lawlessness
shall have no such repulsive record of se-
cret indrridvial murder to check its political
ambition ? Hqaven only knows, as Mr.
GoWEN" has iatl, what would have become
of Schu.iakin Coimty had the Mollie Ma-
gnii'es succeeded in getting a Judge on the
Bench, and then electing a Jury Commis-
sioner : for, wit li their sympathizers not
only among High Constables and Commis-
sioners^ but controlling the jmy-box itself,
they could have diefied the law by controll-
ing it. The disorderly elements in the min-
ing regions have now. as we have said, no
record like that of the Mollie Maguires to
injure them. They have, on the contrary,
some deep gi-ievances with which to appeal
to popular sympathy. That their votes will
be looked nfter by politicians, great and
small, is clei.r.i Ji grave responsibility rests
on the piate and tounty conventions of the
rival parties to see that they give no en-
eouragemertt to mob rule in their efforts to
attract

When Gen. Sh:!RIDax came dashing along

an eye-witnfesS sptly described his coming

Then came the" reinforce-
ance of the campaign. In
fact, the posit ior of the invading army was
that of j a ini m gr; ippled on either side by a
powerful as >a: laift, and behooving to dash
them from liiii before they should bear him
down. 'The 1 wo Turkish commanders were
still widelly sepaiated, and it was imperative
to overwlhilni one before the other could
come toihis assistance. Ou the 19th of Julv,

it may, Merexxt Alt nmst be driven from
Basgrad and Osmajj Pasha from Plevna, and
the renewal of fighting at the latter place
shows that the assailants are thoroughly in
earnest, despite their twice-repeated failure.
But much must he done before either of
these objects can be attained. Since the
battle of July 31, the Turkish positions
both at Plevna and Lovatz (Loftcha) have
been greatly strengthened. Mehemet Ma
has at least 60,000 men in position between
Rasgrad and Osman-Baear, and his com-
mand of the railway to Shumla will enable
him to draw reinforcements at will from
the powerful garrison of the fortress. Mean-
while, Rustehuk, with a garrison of 26,000
men, and abundance of heavy artillery, is
well able to take care of itself, especially
now that its landward side is completely free
fi'om investment. Silistria has nothing to
fear from the Russian Army of the Dobrud-
scha, and the rumored passage of the Dan-
ube, at Turtukai by a hostile detachment, if
truly reported, has as yet borne no fruit
whatever. Moreover, the causes which once
worked in favorof Russia are now as fatally
active against her. Fever, malaria, dysen-
tery, insufficient food, "had ventilation, con-
stant marching under a vertical sun, are pro-
ducing their inevitable result. War, like
the cruel deities of the East, is only to be
propitiated by human sacrifices; but it ■will
be well for Russia if all these hecatombs
do not finally prove to have been made in
vain.
BABIES COMMERCIALLY.
Glorious and wonderful as babies may be,
as every new baby unquestionably is, it is
fortunate they are not in the market.- If
they were, how varied quotations would be,
or rather how impossible it would be to estab-
lish any quotations at all ! To use the lan-
guage of tne street, holders would be ferocious
bulls, and non-holders contumacious bears.
There would be no middle ground or com-
mon base of operations. There would be
neither bids nor offers, no buyers, no sellers ;
the market would be irretrievably and in-
cessantly off.
It is very easy to understand why persons
adore their own offspring. Such adoration
is natural, irrepressible, universal. The
world, that is its population, woule^not go on
without it. Persons who have had children
aud have reared them, have paid a great
price for them in suffering, anxiety, appre-
hension, constant care. That these should
command a high premium excites no sur-
prise. But isii't it a "trifle odd that their
parents do not want any of their acquaint-
ances' children, however comely, winning,
or promising, even at a liberal discount T
Their own, to be sure, are preferred stock ;
but common stock ought to have some
value. Varied goods are generally regarded
as dosii-able, in order that all tastes may
be suited aud the briskness of trade sus-
tained. Fathers and mothers are not influ-
enced, a whit by commercial feeling. They
prefer having any number of children of
the same sort to making selections from
their neighbors. If it be their ill-fortune to
perpetuate squint eyes and snub noses, they
will sooner extend their line to a dozen of
these than intersperse it with perfect op-
ties and Grecian contours from outside
sources. Who has not seen himdreds of fam-
ilies that might be vastly improved by
a judicious mixture of alien blood ? But
the alien blood is not sought, even though
it might be purchased for a trifle'. It is often
declared by pessimists that there is no hope
for the riiee. The reason must be that ba-
bies are homogeneous, wheu they might be
made heterogeneous by a moderate degree
of energj' and a small amount of money ju-
diciously invested in miscellaueous assort-
ments of babies. Possibly, they could not be
bought ; but the possibility cannot be flatly
affirmed or denied until a persistent effort
has been made.
Who can tell what advantages might arise
from treating infants as a commodity f If
they were sold in the open market, would
they not be better taken care of, many of
them at least, better reared, better edu-
cated f The law of supply aud demand
would then govern their ownership. The>se
who were poor and had many children — and
poverty is proverbially procreative — would
sell, aud the rich, having few or none,
would buy. Woulel not matters thus
be equalized and the community bene-
fited f Would not children who
now grow up ignorant, r^bSJess, and vicious,
pass into the hands of peopleW means, able
and willing to educate and reMsthem prop-
erly f An auction might be held, for ex-
ample, the babies carefully assorted, and
offered in lots to suit purchasers. The
plumpest, healthiest, andbest-looking-would
it, Ittimp, less healthy, and less good-looking
nr^ould go either at or very little above par.
I >nl r roused the assailants to
Efc rts ; and the result was
battle of July 31, which, like
KuneridoH or .^.ipem, was lost by pushing
sucees;! too fai*. Then, as if that one blow
had br )ken ti e r lain-spring of the whole in-
vasion, !a| iue.dea paralysis went through
every Hinb of the mighty mass, and
300,000 iiei ■\rere stopped short in the
heat ol their lassault by the loss of 7,000.
Seldon ,, if < v( T, 1 las such an effect been pro-
duced jy a sin^Ii) battle.
All llis, hewever, would have mattered
little hid lit happened at any time but the
present. Russia is still strong in naen and
material, and the Western powers seem to
be for the present in no way disposed to in-
terfere with her. But now, in the eighth
month of the year, with the Autumn rains
about to block every Bulgarian highroad
with defenses surer than Osuax Pasha's, she
has heir whole campaign to begin over
again, ^oth in! Europe and Asia. The
crescent; still floats over both Kars
and Erzeroum Olti, Varna, Baya-
zid, aro one e more in Turkish hands. Prince
MiRSEJ and Gen. Qodrkho, from their camp
on the ridges of the Emireh-Dagh, look down
upon fez an d caftan swarming through the
rose gardei s of Kasanlik. Gen. Zimmer-
MANN", lyinj helplessty^ to the south-east of
impregnabl j Silistria, sees his army melting
day by day under the ravages of fever and
dysentery. For this year, at least, the
' ' prom enad e to Adrianople," so gleefully pre-
dicted'jy-htindreds of gay young subalterns
barely four nonths ago, must be finally aban-
doned, and all I that the invaders can hope to
do — if indeed they can succeed in doing
even that-^is to drive across the mountains
the tvco Tirkish armies which now hold
Easten>sb(L W^teru Bulgaria. Cost wluit
Ill-favored, scrawny, sickly babies would be
dull, perhaps at such a discount that it might
be necessary to j)ay something to get rid of
them. In that case, the premium paid for
the likeliest nurslings should form a fund
for furthering the disposal of the un-
likely. Poor people who could not afford
the luxury of having children (there are no
such people, of course, because extreme
poverty considers suoh luxuries as necessi-
ties) would thus be induced to take other
people's children, and would have the means
to start a vicarious family.
Now, everybody can imagine what happi-
ness it would be to rear such a family. In-
deed, everybody must imagine it ; for hard-
ly anybody has tried it, or is likely to try
it ; and imagination is a great improve-
ment upon experience. Observing other
persons' children, their homeliness, lack of
intelligence, and bad manners, we immedi-
ately imagine, if we are not yet parents our-
selves, how very different our children
will be when they come ; and we
anticipate the envy with which those un-
fortunate parents will regard us for the pos-
session of our potential paragons. The
paragons having arrived, outside barbarians
will be unable to recognize in them what
we see written all over them in colors of
living light. 'Those barbarians in turn will
imagine how totally unlike their offspring
are or will be to ours, showing that imag-
ination has every advantage of experience,
particularly in respect of progeny.
The ineradicable prejudice we have for
our flesh and blood blinds us completely ;
hinders their development ; annoys our
associates extremely. If we had purchased
our children at fair rates, instead of stand-
ing indebted to nature for them, should we
not be far less prejudiced, more helpful to
them, aud less disaiEreeable to our friends T
*!
It is strange thftt the commercial considera-
tion does not strike the nineteenth century.
Its practical adoption is impossible, to be
sure ; but so small a thin^ as impossibility
ought not to interfere with a system which,
viewed from the ideal, would seem to be so
eminently satisfactory.
STREET IMVROVEMENTS.
We referred the other day to the ease witli
which one feattire of the street improve-
ment plan now before the Board of Alder-
men could be carried out, and that, too,
without waiting to decide upon the merits
of its other and more costly branches.
This feature is the southerly extension of
Sixth and Fourth avenues so as to bring
these broad thoroughfares to tho lower part
of the island, thus partly relieving lower
Broadway of its excessive travel, while
also giving shorter routes for the trjinspor-
tation of merchandise.
Now, if the Board of Aldermen will look up
the records of their body, they will find that
one specific and very feasible plan of Sixth-
avenue extension was laid before them a
dozen years ago. Its characteristic feature
was the utilization, as far as possible, of ex-
isting streets, partly for the sake of econo-
my, and partly in order that no more land
now buUt upon, or that is ever likely to be
built upon, should be seized for high-svay
purposes than is necessary. This plan pro-
posed, beginning at the lower end of Sixth-
avenue, to take in either all or portions of
Minetta-street, Minetta-lane, Hancock-
street, Congress-street, Macdougal-street,
Clark-street, Sullivan-street, and St. John's-
lane. It is accordingly levident that such an
extension would create a much-needed west-
side thoroughfare between Hudson-street
and Broadway, besides rendering avmSfele.
for travel a number of small streets and al-
leys that no^v are of no service aud onlj^ ac-
cumulate filth and garbage.
The specific plan proposed was. starting
from the junction of SLxth-avenue with Car-
mine-street, to cut through Hancock-street,
near the comer of Bleeeker, taking in con-
siderable sections of Minetta-street and Mi-
netta-lane, and widening Hancock-street on
the west side to Houston. Then the new
thoroughfare would absorb and widen the
narrow alley called by courtesy Congress-
street — ^formerly Smith — and proceed to
King-street, and, cutting thi-ough two
blocks, would reach Vandam at the corner
of Macdougal, which latter street it would
widen on the west side to Spring-sti-eet. It
would then take in Clark-street, widening it
on the east side, and gi\"iug it a m'dch-ueeded
improvement, and then proceed to the cor-
ner of Broome and Sullivan streets, and
along the latter, widening it above- on the
west side and liclow on the east, until it
reached Canal, cutting off the sharp angle
between the latter .street and Laight. Then,
taking in St. John's-lane and widening it on
the west side, it would unite with West
Broadway at Beach and Walker streets.
And thus, having reached a broad thorough-
fare, the Sixth-avenue extension would be
t;omplete.
Now this,_w6.say, is a plan proposed fully
a dozen years ago for eaiT.\i:ig out one fea-
ture of the grand scheme which is at present
before the Board of .^Vldcrmen, and that, too,
with little expense. Its specific advantages
were pointed out long since in these col-
umns, when the question of relieving Broad-
way came up. It was then shown that , the
buildings to be taken for the new thorough-
fare being mostly of vei-y inferior sort, the
improvement would be at once cheap for the
City and advantageous to the proper-
ty through which Sixth-avenue should
pass. It was also pointed out that
the extension 'would chiefly be ef-
fected by the utilization of existing
street space. The objection that it .would
also absorb a larger amount of private prop-
erty than other routes that could be adopted,
is fully met by the fact that though it might
absorb more in quantity, it would absorb
less in value, and hence would be less costly
than the other feasible routes of extension.
The sooner, also, that some such improve-
ment on the west side is made the bet-
ter. Just now all real estate is down in
price. We may reasonably expect that
when the tide of business improvement
rolls oyer the section thus described, costly
buildings will be put up in some places,
making it a much more expensive matter to
effect the proposed improvement a few
years hence than now. It would be a minor
advantage of this plan that it would bring
some order out of an existing taiigle of
streets quite confusing to the stranger, and
even to the residents of other parts of the
City. If better routes can be proposed let
them be acted upon. One obvious disad-
vantage in the plan we have re\-iewed is
that the new thoroughfare would not be
quite straight — there would be a few slight
turns in it. While the gain in economy
may entirely justify such a departure from
the rule of absolutely straight streets, yet
the latter sort can be secured for a Sixth-
avenue extension with some a Iditional ex-
pense. It is clear that, without going
into any gigantic plan of reconstruction,
it would be easy and inexpensive to carry
some of the central avenues further south-
ward, and so materially facilitate travel and
traffic.
it is a tmlon of iMmevt men «(both parties to laanffa.
rate a new em of prosperttv and avert ubpentm'^
calamities."

The Cincinnati Enquirer of Friday prints a
telegram from Pnt-in-Bay, which says: "Tho
special meeting of the Democratic State Central Com-
mittee aud leaders of tiie party, to be held'here to-
morrow afternoon, promises to be largely attended.
Among those at present on the ground are Hon. R.

son, Gen. Bice, Dr. Findley, Hon. Prank McKenny.
Theodore Cook, Gen. Sherwood, of Cleveland ; CoL
Otis and Dennis Congldin, of Toledo ; Jotm G. Doren
and Col. Brown, of 'Youngfstown. The great bulk of
the committee and of pronunent gentlemen will ar.
rive to-morrow. The object of the meeting is to take
counsel as to the host method of conducting the cam-
paigu, and to ascertain just what oratorical talent
can be bad ^ot it, and where it can be used to the
best advantage. It is understood to.night tnat there
u* a bitch or misunderstanding Detween Hon. R. M.
Bishop and the most prominent members of the
State Central Comnrittee on the subject of Mr.
Bishop's assessment for campaign purposes. Mr.
Bishop's idea is tliat any money contributed should
be applied solely to and for the purpose of carrj'iaie
Hamilton County, which he considers the central
point in the contest.' The committeemen indicated
in the company claim that Mr. Bishop's nomination
wa« made upon the assurance that he would con-
tribute an ample snm for State campaign purposes
and look after Hamilton County besides.

an address to the voters, in which they say : " The

TALE ABOUT CAXDIDATEg IX .XEWHA rEX.
The Xew-Havcu Jmirnul of Saturday says :
*• There has been within a few days a goo^l deftl ol
gossip on the streets as to candidates for Congress,
and things are at a boiling point on this questitjn. II
was rumored yesierdav that ex-Mayor Lewis wa«
quietly at work among \insiu*-s,s meu with asstsrancfcr
of his Jeep interest in Xew-Harcii's prosperitK' as a
maritime city. An auecdote is told itow t!iat a friend
of .Senator Bowers had i*eported to birn that Mayor
I>ewls liad offered if sent to Congi-s . to proctira
an $SU.000 appropriation from the Go-.'eniineut
for tiie purpose of litiving the bottoin dtlg out of the
harbor, in order that big ships migiit ttim around
this side of the light -house. The anecdote (we can-
not vouch -for its truth.i relates tiiat Sei:ator Bow-
ers replied to tho person Who had brotigiit the
news of ex-Mayor I^wls' liberal proposition, tiiat
he [the ex.Senator] would be willing to secure
ait appropriation for $1,000,000. The last
amount certainly would strike any voter as
leading the game, and the figtires are much
handsomer than any we h«ve read wiiiie re-
viewing t^e records of former Congressmen. There'
is a strongtalk amoi^C substantial Deniocnits iu fa-
vor of sending Hon. I.evi B. BradU-y to Coiigivit- f<it
the next tcirm. and bis friends are sanguine that he
can be elected if he should enter the lists. Bu^ his
best friends, when intf-r^-iewed on the subjei-t. say
tlmt it is yet too soon to make predit-tions, and tluil
it will do no good to publish his name in the papers.'
TEE DEifOCRATIC STATE COXrEXTIOX.

Utica- Oa this point it says : " .\u eifort will be
made to call the c-^nvention at Saratoga, which nuchi
to faiL That is not th-^ pla--e to hold .1 Demofratic
council in. Tlie masses of our partv are plain work
ing people, not given to style .ind the exjienditure
incident thereto, and at Scratogn they will be chargec
watering-place prices, and' subjected to watering-
place annoyances. Besides, it is understood tliat the
comin:! rotincil is to be a Democratic oSEair in reality
as well as in name. It is understotwi tliat the repre-
sentatives of the party, as cliosen by the electors of
the several districts, a're to con-.'ene as a deliberative
b.xiv, and not as a ratification meeting to indorse ll»e

inE XEW-JERkEf REPVBLICAXS.
The Trenton Gazette alludes as follows to tlie
meeting of the Xew-Jcrsey Republican State Com-
mittee in that city on Thursday last. " There was a.
general and fall di.scassion of the political outlook '
and the approaching campaign m tliis State. It wa*
decided to be in no hurry ai>out calling the .State Con-
vention. Steps were taken, however, for an early
organizatioii, and a determination manifestwi to do
everything, possible to secure a full display of Ihd
party strength in the Gubernatorial content, Tlio
present .,oommittee »-Ul retire with the next. State
Convention, but it hopes to lay down its office with
the party in full preparation for vitrorous work. In
discussing the issues of the campaign, liiene was a
unanimous expression of the members in favor of the
reduction of the rate of interest to 6 iwrceni., and
there is no doubt that the State ConTention wil'
adopt this as a plank of its platform."
THE PEXXSYLTaXIA DEMOCRACT.
Following is the official announcement thai <
the Pennsylvania Democratic State Convention wiT
not again be postponed :
The interruption of travel necessitated the post-
ponement of tlie Democratic State Conventiou to the
22d of August. Recently some sincere and int«ji:l.
gent memt>ers of the party have advocated a furtlMBr
Sostpouement ; but as 'it is solely a matter of expe.
iency, and not a question preclpltsted bv a anddeit
emergency, like the late disturbances in the State, it
would require the formal action of the committee,
which could not be bad in time to give the proper no-
tice of a ciiange. There cannot, tfaerefotre, o« any
ftirtber postponement, and the convention will be
held on the 22d inst., as recently directed, with tht
general approval of the party.

From Our Oien CorrtfpondenL
Loyo Bhaxch. Satrirday, Ane. 11, 1877.
"The Coroner's inquiry concem::rrthe railroad
<lia*«terat Oceanport was resumed y.-Pt^-r-^.ay morning
at 9 o'clock at Lo:i? Bra-ichviraie, and lasted during
ftlong session. Althoucb the iaquiry had specific ref-
erence to the caate of <^e!(tli of C. Edwerd Ver Mue'oii,
a yonng lad of 16 years, oie of ih' vicrims of the
disaster, it tranche 1 i:ito mutter of wi'lM- soopc and
a good deal of imporr.int testimony was fciven touch-
ing the duties of the ra:lw;iy compnnr and the pro-
visions made for the eet-ui ty of the f)i;a] draw jrifli^o.
A great deal of interest was mauit\-toI i-i the pro-
ceedings, and all day the vill»5t> liotol in which rii-s
Inquest was held was quit? crowJeti. T-ie opcniuz
testimony was t'lat of two witnosst-s. Roljert Valen-
tine and Thelbert Edwarda. who ns^ist-^d to take the
deceased from the wreck of the train, and who testi-
fied as to his apparent injuries.
Mr. Edward Price wns then exainia-?d. ami testi-
fied concerning hia knowledge of tht; wrwik. He
said that he came down the river in his sail-boat to
?o through the draw : Mr. Conrow. the dra^- keeper.
said that the train was cominjy, and that he could not
go through ; he afterwartl s^d, " I ei^'ss I can lot
yon through ;'' two boj-s then put up red :log>\ and
■•itness took his boat a little up the rirer s-^ as to >:et
a suitable tack, with the riew of passing t'lrjugh ;
on approaching tlie bridge a^cain he saw th;it thi* reel
flags had been taken in and that the draw wa^ c'los.--d ;
he did not know that any attempt had U-en madi.* to
open the draw ; the nest thing he saw was the v^Teck
of the train : the en^ne appeared to get ovor safe'./.
iut the second and third cars toppled over ; the draw.
he said, was closed when he first came to it : tho
train was going as fast as evtn- ho had seen it yo ;
witness then tenified to having assisted several per-
sons out of the wrecked train, and it api>ears that in
this respect he rendered valuable aid.
Lewis White testified that he came to the draw in
a row-boat : went uy on the draw and ei:tB:>fU lije
house ou it ; John Conrow was in there : saw Pricts
coming down the river in hid sailboat ; John --aid he
coiild not open the draw tor the cruin was due : wit-
ness lfx>kcd at the clock ; the train was d:ic at i}:'2%
at Shrewsbury, and it was a few minutes past that
time when he looked : when -Pri<;e arrived ut the
draw John said •■ 1 i:uess I'll let him through :'' there
were some boys standing; around .- -he Sciit two red
tlags — one to each end of the bridge — by two boys ;
they had them out wl:en John said '* brin^ in those
flags, the train is cominz ; ' they brought the fla^ in
and John put them up in the rsck and took oat thd
white ones ; and the train went over ; " the first. '
said witness. " I knew about it was the
ncAse and the dnst : I was looking up the
river at the time ; in a tVw seconds
after the train was off : I came riarht out of the housd
and looked at the draw ; the draw was out of place
Clearly a foot : I jumped into my boat, rowed mound
to the cars, and helped all I could; did not sec the
deceased to know him : could not* say wixether Johu
made im attempt to open the draw when he sen: the
boys out with the fiass : I was not lookinsi at h-tii . I
could not say where -John was when 1 came out of
the house.
Coroner — Would that bnd^e have any play if tho
draw was loekrd .' A. — I don t know ; l' don't think
there is mach p!ay.
To a Juror — The lock was open after the train
went over ; 1 did not see it pi-eviuuslv.
To tJie Coroner — 1 thouglit the train went a'-ros^
the bridge taster than usual : I did not see Courow
touch the hx'k.
John Conrow was next examined, and teitiiie-l as
follows: 1 attend the Uceaaport draw ; I wa^ ta*re
the day .the accident occurred: I came to the nruvv
as usual about C:40 o'clock: I inquired if liic mom- i
ing tr:iius had uone all riijht. and was told th:U tiiey
had: I passed the next trsdn [the 7 o'cIojI:] over my- '
self: also, the ^^itlS .ind the ^:21. [ta^ expres/r]
there was no train airaij) till y:'J-i : Lewis White
came down somewhat al'out 9 o'l-iix-k. and we sat |
there talking: we *»aw Price coniimr down the river. I
an» I said, "Weil, 1 can't let him tiirou^h; ' as soon
as Oapt. Price got near enough I tcM him t hut there *
wa; a train coming, and that lie would have to
wait; 1 looked and saw the truin was be- '■
hind its time : I said. " I ^ess I can let
fouihrongh. Ed:" I can .see the train to the R*-d
Bank turnpike — I ffuess ahont twij iail*"S; I took |
iown my rvd ttajcs. and hs 1 went nut two uot< stood
by the doors; one uf iheui i^aid, " irtve :ne the llag."
and I handed a tiu^ to each t*oy : I w.-nt out lo lue I
key then and waited till they put the fiii-;^ up: I {
looked to tli^ southward lir^t! and then l.-iked lh« .
other way: I saw that the train had rounied the 1
t;nrve at the Red Bunk tunipilie: I t<»ld ihem to
fetch in the flaps, that the train was coming; I took
the flags from them as they came iu and put tliem in
the rack where they belonged, and took out the
white Sags : the train had not at that
time got to Little ^jilver Station ; as she
passed the station I commenced to wave
my white flag: the next thing 1 knew
wns that the first car and engine passed as usual ;
when the last cars rame. I heard a gratint; sound, nuil
saw the splinters flv : I turner! my head around and
iaw them *' piling'^ off the bridge ; I threw my tiag
down and went right to the end of the draw, [the
south end. Jwhere the last car stood; I calied all the
boys to gel their boats njuud as qoick as thev could ;
I then got on top of one of the <.'ars an"'! h-i^lped
to pull out some persons — three persons, I
think : everybody was ' got out of the
cars that could be found : then I went back on the
draw ; that was the Umi time i noticed it ; the draw
was full of passengers ; I examined it and I saw that
the latch was open, that is. about two^fhirds open;
the lever that polls the latch back was-^about two-
thirds open, anil tb«' bridge was ahout lO-iiiches <tS -,
I think the train was about three or four minutes be-
hind . time ; the bbys referred to had , tjeen on the
bridge all moming.'flshing.
Coroner — Did you examine the lock that morning '
A. — No, iSir.
Q. — laut it vonr duty to make that examinotion '.
A~ — No. Sir ; fkuewthen. when we stopped the dravr ,
we stopped it with the lock . my son is employed on
the night watch : I generallv get on about < o'clock.
and stay generally tiU 6:oO, sometimes 7 o'clock ;
my son then comes on duty and stays all night : I
nev^r stop anybody coming on the bridge, and have
no orders to stop anybody ; I did not unlocix the
dmw that morning ; I had no way of knowing that
it was locked except that the trains had parsed over
to, and that when the bridge is shut it is locked : the
Abridge has lei^h wise a play of about an inch and a
half, but nono laterally ; the key Is about four
Inches, probably more.
Coroner — Would the draw stand in its right position
if it was unlocked / A. — Ves, but if it was locked it
:otiId not stand out of place ; 1 did not mysolf tou^
the lock, and nobody &ise could have done it at that
Lime.
Q. — Can boys unlock that draw ? A. — Yes, a boy G
fears old could open it: a little boF could not get
•ne hand aronnd the spring, and would have to use
both hands : it would take three minutes to open
uid shut the draw and take down the fi:*gs.
To a Juror — 1 never had anv orders from the coni-
pany, except not to open the draw for ijleasiire bf«at>
tn train time, but to open it foi reiristtred boats ;
registered boats have the right of way ; I hsrrt: often
;aken my flags out and put them up again if i saw
^e train had time to pass.
To the Coroner — I don't think therv was any young ,
man in bin© dress on the bridge that morning. ' f
To a JnroT — AJfter the bridge is lot- k»*d, I don't '
thlnfc a train could throw the lock vc\.
To another Juror— I can move tho draw without (
key or lever, by standing down on the abutment, but i
not on the bridge. j
To the Coroner — The track was straight when the.
engine went across : it was the rear cars thsr thrtw
it out of place ; I never touched the lock when
Price came idong in his boat ; I wasn't in the lets',
aieited, for I had no occasion, hai-in^ plenty of tin:e.
To a Juror— I had the key, but never nut it on.
To another Juror — I am satisJied that the draw
was unlocked, but who did it I can't say ; some bo>
tuay have touched the lever out of euriosiiy :
I often saw them do it, but always forbude
ihem ; it was possible for a person to tamp^-r
with the lock while I was there ; anybody
:ould have done it ; I don't know that it is my duty
io watch that lock ; I am satisfied that boys shftul'd
aot be allowed there, .but I had no authority to-pat
chem off ; I never allowed l>oys to lock or unlock trie
bridge; it locks with a spring, which anybody can
Dpen ; we call it a lock because it hjcks the'bridge ; I
have seen a long train pass over the bridge when it
was tmlocked ; the ice prevented it ■ beini; i'>"ked on
that occasion, and the engineer went over slowly ; a
short tmtn, I don't think, could pass over.
Dr. Chattel, of Long Branch, wfa*-attendeu the de-
ceased, was next examined, and testified concerning
the injtiries which caused his death; Tlie jnjnr>'
which he received on the spine was of itself, witness
said, sufficient to caose death.
Bartholomew Slurtagh, trackroastor of the Ceu-
^tral Railroad of New-Jersey, testified amuug other
matters that John Conrow was under his cl;arge.
Conrow's duty, he said, was to se« that the Oceun-
' port draw was in shape. <Tenemi instructions wert
' coxomnnlcated to Conrow through an assi.'^tant. tie
had personally delivered to Conrow the printe<I rules
connected with the road. In respect to the coTiditio/:
of the draw after the accident, he lesiided that it
• was all right when he got there. The lock, he .---aid,
eoold not come unlocked of itself. The locks on t)iu
draws of the other bridges on the Un*^ were pretiy
nmeh on the same prlncdple, that is, tliey closet, with
« spring. In hia opinion the bridge was not locked.
•ad that was the cause of the train getting off. The
>uridge could only become unlocked by some person
xnlockixig It.
JeT«miah T. Dunham, the engineer of the wrecked
Crafai, deposed that he answered the signal ot th<-
IraW'teader; the engine, he thought, went on tho .
Sxaw all rij^t nntU it came to the south end ; then he [
found It becin to bounce; he sliut the engine o£f and
applied thebrake; the engine ran to the end of the j
bnd^, and then turned ov«r. The first, said \vi^ne<>s. i
I knew, was that I was on the ground, with the hot '
iratsr flying all over me ; I got up and bc^n to look
For my nreman, whom I found on the opposite side .
of tlM track washing the blood from his head ; I then
wast back on tba c«rs iztd helped to talce some
at tha TMMMmiin ovte wbsm I ««nt back on $ha 1
draw I saw It was from six to eight : nches otxt
of place ; I looked at the ratchet and saw that
the lover was about two-thirds of the
way over : I made np ray mind that the iraw had
been left unlocked ; 1 looked for the draw-t ender, but
conld not find him ; I subsequently met ^e draw-
tendsT, and told him that he gave me a wh to signal ;
be said he did. and told me that he thoughi ^^me of
the boj-s had thrown the latch out of pTac ► ; at the
time or the accident we were runiung abou 20 nuleis
an hour ; that w.-w our usual speed at th it plaee ;
after an accident at Bay Bridge, in which m enjHne
went down, printed instructions were issue d that all
draw-tenders should see that bridges were properly
locked Ix-'fore the trains nm over : we wers that day
two minutes late ; if we were' running six miles an
hour we might have stopped before goii g off the
bridge.
Thomas Jones, baggage man or. tho wrec ced train,
was examined, but ms eWdence did not i hrow any
now light upon tho inquirj'.
Edward Conrow. son of the drftw-tendei . testified
that he passed a boat through the draT at 5:30
o'clock in the morning, and subsequent to that five
trains had passed betore the onethr.t was wi ?cked : he
had never, he said, seen any printed instruc tions con-
cerning his duties ; he was not in the habit of exam-
ining tlie latch before signaling a train to g< through,
if he had pre\-iously shut the draw.
The witness Conrow was recalled, and testified
that he had never se^^n any printed instmc ion in re-
spect to tl>e irinauement of th** draw. bu1 had seen
genera! .-eculntioua tonchiug the duties of flagmen,
brakemen. &c.
At thisstase tho jury retired for a shop time to
consider whether they would require further evi-
dence, and after they had deliberated it wj s decided
to adjourn the i^^oest till Wednesday at ID o'clock,
when the Superintendent and Manager o the line
will be cslled the company, through counsel averring
their willingness to throw all pt^slble lig! it on the
inqoiry. __

COLLECTOR FREELANDS CASE.
Nobody seems to know when the charges
against Collector Preeland. of Brooklyn, are to be
investigated. Tho whole affair appears to be in a
ridlcnlou8|mnddle. and everj-tKMly concerned in It Is
doing liis best tq avoid or mislead newspaper repre-
sentatives so that the public may be left in ignorance
of the true state of affairs. Some days ago Air.
Brooks, of the Swiret Service Bureau, was sent on
here from Washington to examine the records of
Mr. Preeland's oflSre. He immediately established
friendly relations with the accq^ ed Collector and his
deputy, Mr. Boone, but ho has not yet taken any*
formal steps to ascertain the truth or falsity of the
accusations against Mr. Freeland. Mr. Brooks,
. when asked yesterday if he would proba-
bly take any definite* action to-morrow, said
he really could not »ay. It is certain,
however, that the newspapers will not be repreaentr
ed at the ex-imination, Mr. Brooks appearing to be
even more anxious to exclude reporters than either
Mr. Freeland or Mr. Boone. Mr. Brooks visited the
Collector's office yesterday mominc, but it does not
appear that anj-thing startling resulted from the call.
Several efforti* were made to find Mr. Freeland or
Mr. Boone, but they were neither at home or at tho
Collector's offlccj ft is pretty generally nnderstood
in Brooklyn that Mr. Freelana will eventually be re-
moved, notwithstandinic the jjowerful advocacv and
support of Henry Ward Beecher. and that probably
Gen. Hayes will be appointed in his stead.

SEYEXTEEXTB WARD REVUBLICAXS.
A special meeting of tho Seventeenth Ward

the chair. The meeting was called for the purpose
of receiving the resignation of the Corresponding
Secretaty. Mr. Cornelius Savage, a clerk in the New-
York Post Office, who severed bis connection with
the organization in obedience to the President's late
order. The Executive Committee was empowered to
select some one to fill the vacancy thus created, and
thev chose Mr. John Donahue, who was elected accord-
ingly. C. O. Baese offered resolution.s in reference to
the President's order, "asking a graceful submission
to it, although it might appear to operate oppresivoly
and unjustly in sonie wav, debarring a certain class
from pri\-ileces all are supposed to enjoy. It was,
however, a part and parcel of the 'now policy' now
on trial." The meeting then adjourned.
A SERIOUS JSTABBIXG AFFRAY.
As John Rooney was entering the hall of his
residence, No. 210 East Twenty-ninth- street, late on
Friday nlglJt, he met two strange men loitering at
the door. He asked them what they were doing
there, and one of them told him it was none of his
business. The other said they were there to buy
some furniture. Rooney remarked that the time
was too laiejfor businesR of that kind. Subsequently
a fight occurred between the three, in the course of
which Rooney was veiy dangei-ously stabbed in the
left side. |He was taken to Bellevue Hospital,
where he lay in a very critical state late last night.
The Police of the Eighteenth Precinct searched for
his assailantls all day, and were rewarded last night,
when they succeeded in arresting Michael Roach, of
Third-aventie and Twenty-fourth-street, and James
Reagan, of No. 105 Third-avenue. It is positively
stated that Reagan and Roach are the men who
assailed Rooney.

PHASES OF SOUTHERN LIFE.
A KENTUCKY SCANDAL.
A COLORED COLONT POHCED TO REMOVE
FROM THE STATE BBCAXJSE OP THE MIS-
DEEDS OP A TOTTNG MULATTO AND THE
, WHITE Wife of a wealthy fabmeb.
From the Omctnno^i Comutereial, Aug. 8.
Quite recently special telegrams were received
giving a sensational account of a curious scandal at
Campbellsbnrg, Henry Coimty, Ky., about 60
miles from this city. The scandal, according to the
telegraphic story, resulted from the discovery of a
criminal intimacy between the wife of a wealthy and
respectable white farmer, living about a mile from
Campbellsbnrg, and a yoting mulatto farmer, living
in that neighborhood, whose name is Smith Reed.
It was ftirther alleged that, upon the discovery, the
chivalrous rotujh-riders of the neighborhood organ-
ized into a band of nearly 20O strong, and forced all
the negroes living in that vicinity to leave the State
of Kentucky at once, under pain of death. About 18
persons, men, women, and children, were banished
m this way. and had to leave behind them their
household goods, furniture, farming implements,
horses, and other stock, and their standing crops.
The whole story was not told, however, by tlio
special correspondent, as a reporter for the Coin-
mereial discovered last evening, by interviewinc
several of the fugitives who have found refuge in
CincinnatL
The victims of thtf decree of banishment consisted
of seven men, with women and children to the num-
ber of eleven. These were Smith Reed and wife,
Frank Reed, his wife and children. James Garrett,
wife and children. Allen Scott, Charles Perry, Nel-
son Ganlt, George Oliver, his mother and several
brothers and sisters. All these colored folks lived
within about a mile of Campbollsburg, and all, ex-
cepting Gault and Perrj*, were related. They either
•owned or reuted good farms, and were doing well.
Smith Reed was the chief object of wrath and the
principal cause of the whole trouble. Ho had been a
slave of old James CampbelL one of the Henry
County pioneers, and was "raised " with the wife uf
the vounger James Campbell, now Alice Campbell.
As children the white girl and the mulatto boy were
very affectionate playfellows, and after bn'h had
grown up and were married they continued to be ou
rather friendly terms, considering differences of color
and starion. Finally some' scandalous whispers
circulated to the effect that Mrs. Campbell and
Snuth Reed were too Intimate. Smith Reed's wife
got angry and caused a great deal of mischievous
gossip, which at last came to tho ears of
James Campbell, He evidently disbeheved the
story, but Informed Reed that if there wa.s
any more gossip he would hold him and his
wife responsible for it. Reed, however, kept on
talking, and, finally, spoke of his relations with Mrs.
Campbell in a decidedly dishonorable way. At last
the whole thing came to a chmax during the early
part of last week. Reed lounged up to Campbell's
farm-house, and asked to^see Mrs. Campbell. A
white servant girl informed him that Mrs. Campbell
and a young Kentucky farmer named Asher had
locked themselves into a"certain room. He seems to
have been jealous enough to wait about until the
couple reappeared, and even then refused to go away
until driven away. He went off talking in such a
style that it was eWdent he intended to make trouble.,
Mrs. Campbell sent the hired girl away likewise, it is"
said for s^^ety's sake.
According to the statement of the fugitives, Asher
at once started a sort of crusade against Smith Reed
and tho other colored folks, and early last Saturday
morning rode down to the iatms with about lOO
armed and mounted men behind him, whose numbers
rapidly increased as they proceeded from one farm-
house to another. They surrounded Smith Reed s
place first of all. and Reed, who tried to escape over
the back fence, was instantly shot at by abrmt a
dozen horsemen, several of the balls cutting his cloth-
ing. He surrendered quietly, and some of the mob
S reposed to lynch him. After some argument it was
ecided not to injure him on condition that he should
at once leave the State.
Frank Reed, his brother. Allen Scott. Nelson Gault.
James Garrett, aud, indeed, all the colored farmers in
the neighborhood were at the same time seized.
George Oliver and Charles Perry, who were thrashing
at a wrra two miles from Campbellsburg. were sent
for and brought back on horseback. Then the seven
men-were t^dcen to the Louis\*ille Short Line Depot at
Newbnrg. Tickets were purchased to Cincinnati for
them, and they were ordered to jump on board and
never come back. Some were offered tickets to
either end of the road, but the purchasers did not
hesitate to observe that they preferred the
colored folks should not go by way of
Louisville, "as they might g^t to shootine
off their mouths thar." Accordinely, the whole
party were shipped to Cincinnati, and in the
evening the Vigilance Committee sent their wives
and chndren after them. The furniture, horses, cows.
hogs, chickens, machines, tools, and standing crops
which belonged to them had to be left behind, aud
they are trj'ing to find some way to dispose of them.
James (farrett. we believe, had 45 acres of com and
six acres of tobacco in prime condition. The leader
of the whole business -.ppears to have been Asher,
but the colored people state that, excepting the shoot-
ing at Smith Reed, the mob offered no one violence
and used no abusive threats. The banished people
seem to feel small sjTUpathy for Smith Reed, but are
indignant that the punishment of his conduct should
have l)een visited on the whole colored community at
Campbellsbuig, and are anxious to know if any legal
steps can be takentoward recovering their pro'peny.
All confess that thev would net dare to return there
upon any consideration.

IX THE JAWS OF AX ALLIGATOR.
. The New-Orleans Democrat of tlie 7tU inst.
sa\-s : " At Lake Charhi.^. ia the Parish of Calcasieu,
a few days sinee. a most exciting scene was witnessed
by a number of people oh the short-. Some lads,
among whom was. a boy named WUliam Haskell,
were in l;«thing. vihen the i;itei:Ii"ij »ff all wore at-
tracted to the cries of the latter, and an alligator was
seen swinnniug in the direction of him. Tiic little
boy. nut perf'-'iving the approach of the saurian,
dived, and just a.s he n'.ached the surface the oi>en
jaws received him. The alligHtf»r drove his teeth
almost thcouijh the boy'» sicull, making several
wounds in the scilp three in'-lies in length. Tlte
boy's comrades ru»^hed into th" water and began a
leud outcry, when the alliirator let go his hoUl and
disappeare<l. The littie fellow, although seriously
injured, will probably live."
WHAT THE PEOPLE OP THE TOWN HAVE TO
SAY ABOUT IT — THE NEGROES DECLARED
TO BE A BAD LOT AND THEIR EXPUL-
SION JUSTIFIED.
The Louisville Courier-J&urtwl priutS a* state-
ment purjwrting to come from a number of citizens
of Henry County. Ky., and intended to refute the
slanderous story concerning the expulsion of the ne-
groes as printed in the Cincinnati papers. They deny
in toto the accusations of misdoing ou the part uf
Mrs. Campbell, and defend the unceremonious
ouBtihe of the black community of which Reed wa.*^
a memoer on the ground that it was composed of
suspected characters. They say : " Mr. Campbell
has never had the least suspicion of wrong on tlie
part of his wife, nor is it true that Mr. Campbell
gathered his neighbors and friends during Friday
night ; but it is true that his neighbors (unknown to
him until he was requested to come and tell his
grievances) did hold a meeting Friday night aud
counsel together as to the best plan of action. The
citizens of this community, one and all, claim to be
subject to the law of the land, and propose to meet all
emergencies with a cool and calm, deliberation. At
that meeting of neighbors aud friends it was decide<I
that the best way to prevent bloodshed was to drive
the scoundrel out of the State, and consequentlv de-
termined to collect as large a bodv of the best citizens
as possible on Saturday, and let Reed and all his rel-
atives know that they - could not longer
live in the community. On Saturday morn-
ing from 150 to 200 persons — the bc-t
citizens of the community — collected, and resolved
to give them the choice of two propositions: First, to
leave the State, never to return. Second, to remain
and take the consequences. They chose to gu,
and it was decided to send them on the 5 P. il.
train. But the excitement became so great that
their lives were in danger, and they were imme-
diately put aboard the 10 o'clock train gointi
east, well knowing that they would not dare
to stop south o^ the Ohio. This community has
shoivn by her actions that she is always ready to de-
fend virtue, and no man, be he white or black, can
remain iu this community and seduce or attempt the
ruin of an innt>cent. virtuous w'oman. Thi.s man Reed
claims to have "had criminal intimacy with several
other respectable white ladies, both married and
single. \Vnat man with a fannly would not turn out to
rid the country of such a wretch as he ? It woiJld
seem a white woman could not speak to lum but he
would turn around and traduce her character. As to
the other parties who wore sent witii Reed, they
have been lonjr suspected tin dangei-ous. bad men.
Some of them have been susj>ectcd of knowing too
much about the burning of certain property, thiev-
ing, and i)ther crimes. Reed stated t' at he owned .50
acres of land, which is false. He never owned a foot
in his life, nor did any"bf the rest of them."
A TEXAS FAMILY FEVD.
HOW A TREATY OP PEACE WAS MADE BE-
TWEEN THE HIGGINSES AND HORRELLS IN
LAMPASAS.
Correspondence of the Galveston Xe^vs.
Austin, Texas. Aug. 6, 1S77.
A feud of not very long standing has existed
in Lampasas County between .i family of the name
of Higgins and a family of the name of Horrell.
Several persons on each side have been killed. The
Higgins party Is perhaps tlie largest in the nimiber of
its family connections, but many friends have raUied
to tlie support of the Horrells, who, as well .is those
immediately concerned on the Higgins side,
aro admitted to be very resolute, active
and dangerous fighting men. The two parties
recently met at Lampasas Springs, when a
ficht occurred, and one on each side was
killed and others wounded. Major Jones, of the
Frontier Battalion, has for some time been endeavor-
ing to compose their difficulty and restore peace. He
lately found it necessary to make arrests of the lead-
ing men on each side, and finally has effected a
peace. He thinks the men are. disposed to respect
the treaty made, as they are brave, and should be
honorable as br.ive. Arrests will effect no good pur-
pose, as the county judiciary turn them loose on bail,
and if the present good understanding does not last,
he sees nothing in the way of a long and bloody feud.
Following is the treaty of peace ; *
Lampasas, Texas, July 31, 1S77.
Messrs. Pink Hiqgins, Robert Mitchell, and William
Wreti :
Geijtlemes:— From this stand-pKjint, looking back
over the past, with its terrible experiences both to
otirselves and to yoo, and to the suffering which has
been entailed upon both of our t^^iihes aud our

volved, with its repeated fatal consequences, and
looking to a termination of the same and a peaceful,
honorable, and happy adjustment of our difii-
culties, which shall leave both ourselves and
you all of Our self-respect and sense of unim-
paired honor, we have determined to take the initia-
tory in a move for reconciliation. Therefore we pre-
sent this paper, in which we hold ourselves in honor
bound to lay down our arms and to end the strife In [
which we have been engaged against yon, and exert
our utmost efforts to entirely eradicate all enmity
from the minds of oar friends who have taken sides
with us in thia feud hereinbefore alluded to. And ww 1

THEM — THE COMPARISON BETWEEN ORlS-r

According to that strange foUov-your-leader
principle, historians no-styled, Iutq treated tli6 Bur-
Soyna cmiDpiilgn. Tbe fact 15, although national
pridn does not like to admit it, the strength of Bor-
gojue lay in thti scare he produced. Thia, agaln^
would bare been inoJSFectaal after the first coUlsious
in tbe field at Hubbardton and Fort Anne, if there
had been any real military preparation, in the coun-
try, or if the veritable military experts, like Wash-
ington and Schuyler, had bden listened to. The
Americans of 1777 did not vant the truth any more
than their descendants in 1877. Then and now was
tme tbe words df Jeremiah: ** The prophets prophesy
falsely. * * • Andmy people love to have It »o."
Bargoyne caught them unprepared just as tbe rlot-
srs In Pittsburg caught tbe authorities, in the very
lame month, this, the Burgoyne Centennial year—
saoght them, as the celebrated Russian General and
sonqueror who began to demonstrate hls^owu great-
aess about lOO years ago, aptly put it, like "now,
on the head." Burgoyne himself started, after so
many mouths of preparation, In many respects ab-
■olutely unprepared. His requisitions in Canada
for draft auimals, bat or pack horses, and horses for
mounts had lamentably fallen short- Wlien. after
six weeks dawdling, he reached the Hudson River,
his first objective, be wayilready short of piovlsions
and the meaas of bringing tbem up. The difQcolties
from which be suffered had Jieen foreseen even In
England, and yet they had not been provided for.
At tlus early date Connecticut was apparently af-
Suent in liorses and cattle. Burgoyne was informed
^at be could derive abundant supplies from the re-
lion lying alon^ the Connecticut, and that the Amer-
icans had formed a depot at Bennington. The
British General was greatly under the influence of
sne Major Skene, a son of little local Governor and
targ* land-holJer in the region at the head of Lake
Champlain. This person, like the majority of his
class on both sides — like even the large majority of
the leading patriots, aa well as others of the same
se^— was a jwxn of narrow horiion whare his uiCii in'
tcTMts wcn^oncemed. The^e meu were intelligent
•nough su Xmt liS regarJvd tUesw — talked well,
WT0t« well— but did not \have the lar^te views

znoas expeu^e aud %sith stIU greater labor, a road
fivm Lake Cbamplnin- direct to the Hudson, now in-
fiuenceil Iiiin tu send an expedition to Bennington,
whose Innntduiie objective waS army supplies that
were needetl. aud wiiose remoter objective had a
scope which needed the application and backing of a
large anjiy. To accomplish what demanded a much
larger force tlvau he could furnish, Burgojnie de-
tached a fraction, which, small as it was, uselessly
reduced hn urri* — nlrcady too feeble for his purposes.
Against tbe adv'icf u« rommou seiL-te Hiedesel. ha se-
lected supvriaTiveiy encunitwred Oermans to do work

tion, and how ejrtrejnelj" well cnlculated he is for a

Stedman. the > historian .ind British staff officer, at
this time with Com wallls, where he saw theaeGermons
every day. says that the hats and swoTds of the Ger-
man soldiers webebed very nearly as much as the
whole equipment of one of the English, and that the
worst British regiment could with ease have marched
two miles for their oue. Sergt. Lamb, In his
Memuir, eorrobomtes tld^ with the remark that
the German grenadiers we^Fmuch worse off than the
IiDglish on account of their cumbrous armor,

^'figbed Itrss thau from 10 to 1- pounds. Finally, if
aiil this was not enough to incline the scale asainst the
tmph'vmeiit «f these troops on such a ser\ice, their
disripUne, in the exaetitnd© of its inexorable atten-
tion to triUes, sbotild have derided the question ad-
versely to their employment. It i« scarcely credible —
but Stedmau atte8t!t it — they halted 10 times an hour
to dress their ranks while marching tlirough the
irocd-i- UiedcHcl, frtim whose command the core
3x Baum'H aetachmcut was selected, did not want to
uave these troops sent, becnuse be considered them
totally nafit for the attainment of the objects con-
tvmpUted. Major-Gen. Heath, United States Army,
fu his ''Memoirs," (120.) records of the fight on
the Brandywine : " It is said that after the Hessian
erenadiers Inwl crottsed th*» -ford, (Chad's.) they
baited at the foot of tbe hill, below the American!*,
under a warm fire, and with great deliberation
?ltanged their hats (uudross) for their heavv brass
caps, (alludetl to by Ijarab and others. ) whicn were
curried by a loop on a button at the hip, and then
ascended tbe hul, from which the Americans were

cal simile, liad bcun gathering and ffro^ving «larker
and darker in the slopes of the Green Mountains.
*Xhe znagieians who had evoked this tempest
Vere necromancers- not In the strength of
«K*cult arts, but In the magnificent powers
of the rarest tiuality— every-day common-sense —
^V«shington and Schuyler. So, when Baum
started oat on his wild-g«>o56 chase from Fort
Edward on the II th August, ytark, a man for the
itccasion, was already in a measure prepared for him.
Bfltmi never got to IJennln;7ton. which is about 30
miles soatb-west of Fort Kdward, whence he started,
iskene was a bad adviser, and the guide selected was
Qntme or incatiable. Baum was taken In by '* trim-
mers," who passed themselves off as loyallBts, and
helped to shoot down his troops with the weapons
and ammunition he furnished them, and when he got
:o the Saneoick Mills, a spot within sight of the vres-
pnt steeples of Bennington, but from five to seven
miles distant, he found that lie had nm into a hor-
net's nest. Ho brought up on the Walloomscolck in
what is now the towu of Hoosic. in Rensselaer Coun-
tv. N. V. This stream is a brauch of the Hoosic
Kirer, wbic-h empties into the Hudson about 15 miles
north of Troy, so that all the Burgo>'ne fights op-
curr^ in the drainage valleys of our dear, noble old
Hudson, and belong to the peculiar history of the
glorious Empire State.
As preWously stat^MJ, Baum set out from Fort
Fdward. on the Hndson. on the 1 1th August. He
was s Brunswick Lieutenant-Colonel uf dragoons,
and the nucleus of his force was tbe 200 dragoons
from his native principality, serving as foot, but not
srmed as infantry ; he had besides a detachment of
Hanau artillerists, with two little brass 3-potmder
gun*, which tradition styles " grasshoppers;" Fraser's
pompany of British ^^ha^p8hoote^s and Peters*
Ix)yalists, with a huddle of some 100 to 150 sav-
ages. Bnrcovue bid Baum good-bye with an a«
rnoir nntif ttey met at Albany, for the laner was to
gobble Bennington, cross the Green Mountains,
■weep tbe volley of tbe Connecticut down to Brattle-
boro . wheel to the right and west, and, conveving a
huge mass of expected necessaries and plunder,
enter Albany from the east as Burgovne marched in

strength, was sfent to jerform the servicaofth^
swift dromedary. Meanw lile Stark, like AxTtpld, an
excellent ofiQeer and brave soldier, and, like Arnold,
the victim of Congressional qnill-driWns; injustice;,
was up and on the alen. At his sunuunn Xew-
Hampsliire famished its| bold malee^ aud when

fiicht to fight to some purj^otie. The next day (15th)
VTamor joined him with his Continental Regn lent of
Kegulais. numbering loOmen, recruited on th » New-
Hampshire grants, (honestly, tbe property o New-.
York) not then, and. indeed, not till l4 yean after-
ward, Vermont. The same dav brought tl e yeo-
manry of the Berkshire Hills of Masaachuse ts and
coterminous districts. First and last St« Ic had
2.500 good men and true, and counting bea Is, not
pairs of bands, it is very likoU' he had hi: adreds
more. Honest Eiedesel says : ' ' The enemy eemed
to spring out of the groimd— [tising poor Eex »*8 ob-
Ber\'atlon in regard to the fight on the Lit tie Big
Horn, the ambush in which Custer fell, 'the TOimd
seemed to grow Indians '] — indeed, they wai i esti-
mated at between 4,O0O and 5,000." Tha < slcula-
tion. it \a quite likely, is not very fai from
tlio truth. The fact K that for a p .rjwse,
the American forces ha\[e always been nn lerestl-
msted— the numbers, not^he fighters. Tlie < auntry
was as favorable to the Ainerican tactics as it was
disadvantageous to Buuiu, and the weather w ls even
worse for the latter than was the country. I>en3e
woods screened the assa^ut's movements : ud ob-
structed the counter lefTort.^ of the mach ne-like
Germans. Drenched, hairassed, teased, Ir itated,
shot down, Baum was in about as uncomfor able a
position on the night of |lbe .15tli as any % hlch H
technical soldier would avoid and prav nevej to be
placed in. In the course of the next day the British
were about as completely surruunded as the Ameri-
cans at Oriskany. with this differenct , that
the latter had cover if they chose ti take
to it, and the former in reality none,
except some hastily ereijted biraatworks. t pen to
their rears. In fai't these] were next to uselei i, since
at 3 P. M. Baum was attacked on all si<les : y 500
in.left and right rear, and by 200 on his right while
*J0O to 300 under Stark Mmself occupied hij atten-
tion in front. XcloudDf lural sharpshooters roreuU
about him, picking oCt hisj meu. As soon as t le Brit-
ish ammunition gave out, jthe assailants swax ued ia
and over the slight breastworks. Baum the i tried
to force a wav out with bayonet and sabre, w a shot
down mortally wouuded, | auJ his troop*, w m out
with fatigue and destitute of provisions and ammu-
nition, smiendered to numbers from quadr iple to

A great deal has l>een said aud written ab tut the

.Stark, most gallant niid capabk. as he ever proved a
capital soldier, did seotn to " hiuiker " afte a Gene-
rafs commission in the Continental Army and his
meu were athlrst. certainly animated by mo ives less
worthv thau patriotism, as well as love of country.
Harkbeimer, mortally wounded, was dea 1 before
Congress had decided now tu manifest the j xatitude
of the country. They decreed him a m mtunent
which has never been e"re'-ted. The New-En [landers.
out of 2.300 to 3.000 (acfjordingto Reidesel between
4.000 and o.OOOj lost about 30 killed and 4 ) wound-
ed. The Hollando-Gejrmans of the Mohaw t, about
equal to their adversaries, (say 800, althonjh Sted-
man mentions 1,000.) loJ^t at least one-half of their
nimsber in killed, wounded, aud eventualJj dead of
their wo^indi. besides prisoners. Had Hai kheimer
failed inliis diversion at Ori'ikanv— his rea I victory
in its effe*-t — and had Bt. Leger taken Fort 5tanwix,
Hoosic or Bennington would have bad nc .marked
intluence upon the great result, whereas it Iwas the
fact that the latter followed Oriskany that made it
so potential in its effects: Oriskany, altboc jh a side
issue as to locality, w^ a counter to a blow in a di-
rect linfi. whereas Hoosic was a side l*isue In every
sen.se of the word. As far as the pluck sho^ ti, there
is no comparison l>et#eeji the two engageu ents, so
much superior wasth^ n^anliuessreouisite ai d shown
on the Mohawk. " It isj his [Harkneimer'n misfor-
tune to want the powers of description, anc we have
a most lame and imperfect account of Jie great
event." are the words ojT a distinguished c tntempo-
rary, whereas Stark'si narrative of bis ach evement
is elotiuent, if not grandiloquent in its com [mrisons,
in which he likens the American &re to "a lontimml
clapof thunder," and compares the behavi tr of his
mhu " to those of Alexander or Charles of , iwedcn.''
TTiousands are well acquainted with the result of
Bennington (whose proper name is HookIc or San-
eoick) who have never I heard of Oriskanj because
New-England has wiritpon our histories- "1 was
broucht up.'* said I)aniel Webster, "with New-
Knsland prejudices against him, [L t. Jchuyler,
of New-iork.] but 1 consider him as second
only to Washington in the services he rendered
to the country in j the war of th i Revo-
lution." These N'ew-England prejudices Ba:tended
to everything which! ^f^" "^o* °^ their bi longiitgs.
The trophies of Bennington were tangible, those of
Oriskany intangible. But in the result 1 iie latter
realized 'the words of 9>i. Paul when he decl ired that
*'The things which are iseeu are temporal but the
things which are not seen are eternal." Trophies
perish, but the noble characteri-otics of a race dis-
J)layed amid the chirm and tire of battle are the ever-
astine glory and possesion of a people, and these are
the peculiar proportie.-t of the original set tiers and
owners of the Empire Siate.
There is a strohzand sad resemblance between
Oriskany and the celebrated battle of O )terbnm,
(1383,) which gave] i-lsi to the famous "jBalladof
Che%'y Chase " and faimfins illnstrations representing
the widows and orphinsi searching for tlieir dead and
wounded, and bearing the survivors away on litters :
" Titer was never a tTni on the march partes
Sen the Doglas ana tUe Pera6 mot.
But yt was marrele, ^nd tho red blude rotme not,
As tho reaue doy« ih the utreu"
Tliis comparison between Oriskany and Benning-
ton ha-s been instituted because New-Yor :, having
passed, more than o^e way and in a great measure.
Into the grasp of these very Kew-Eng^rde rs and of

BurgoyTie's surrender- of about 8.000 effectives
and Moni-effectivea which was brought within the
province of rertainty between the -Mb and 17th of
A«inist.|1777, was of more ininortance to the world
than Mack's capitnlatiou at Ulm with over 30.000
men In: lf?05, orthe Emperor Lotds Natwleon'a at
Sedan in 1870, with over 70.000. or Bazaine's. with
even greater numbers, at Jletz, in the same year.
TbP first. Oriskauv and Hooshr. constituted the turn-
ing point of a world, the so^'ond of a war, and the two
others of a dj-nasty and a temporarj- form «■ f govern-
ment. The fate of nations and the destiny of the
worid hangs on apparently very insignificant causes,
and. to human vision, often upon the petty charac-
teristlcsi of| selfish aud Intriguing men. Bui^yne
was a self-seeking man, and by the arts of a courtier
supplanted Cnrleton. Had the latter, "the Rood
and the grwit, " enjoyed the opportunity of making
and writimc a "State of the Bxt»edition " it would
never have contained such an inexcusable cotirse of
blundering as led to the detaching of Banm and Brey-

I I Fntm Uie London Globe. July 27.
Any lantiqtiarian who may be in search of a
place of interest, not too far from England, may find
it even nearer home than at the village which we
lately recommended on the banks of the Lake of
Geneva. ! At Penhoet. near St. Kazaire. In France,
there bss lately been discovered a harbor which Prof.
Bertrahd, the discoverer, calls " Gallo-Romau. or
rather Celtic." The vagueness of this description Is
not at I the first blush very encouraging, but the
importance of the place consists, as it
will be| sefEH. not In the nationality of the goad
folk wholbuHt or made the harbor, or even in the
form o^ cb^pe of the harbor, or the relics of humrm
Industrv therein contained. All that have been
foimd \u the way of relics seem to be a bronze
hatchet, a brou:!:e svrorJ. a human nkull. and some
bones uf common animals. But these boues were
imbeddied l|n a layer of earth which has engaged the
liveliest dtteutioii on the part of the learned archeeol-
oglst. He pen-oived, lu digging through it, that it
wn:t n>inposed of a great number of separate strata
superpbscd one upon another Ilka the braves of a
book. |Ka(|h one of these strata wns extremely thin,
but was (jlearly distinguished fn>m Its neighbor, and
each represents the deposit formed by a stream of
water Irturlug a single year. Nor is this their only
pectillarity. They are not only distinctly Kej*-
HTBted from one another, but they are themselves
divided) into separate parts. For tho moKt part

third yellow. The brown ones are naturally sup-

consistjof ileaves and other vegetable dt'bris washed

are explained as being formed of ch;tlky deposits
washed di|wu by the rains of the Spriitg, and the
yellow I onf-s to be sandy depoKitn maue In the
Summer t^e. The successive lavers bein^ thus
tracealjle with certainty, and capn'ble of bt-ing ac-
curately counted, constitute a means of <*alculatlng

whole bed Jof soil is some 60 feet deep, and there are
at leati ICI of the small strata Id every inch, It would
appearlthiijt it must have bfgun to acctimulate about
T.'JOO years ago. The principle thus illustrated is.
however, one which ra&y obviously bo applied in

A (^HASE FOR A RUXAWAT WIFE.
Th(i Liverpool Poxt oC July 27 narrates the
following interesting Inrtdeut : *' Au elopement was
neatlv prevented yesterday afternoon at tho Prince's
Landing- at age. Between 12 and 1 o'clock consider-
able dommotion wan occasioned on the stage by a
gentleman In pursuit of a runaway wife and three
young children, who were just caught in the nick of
time and previous to their embarkation, in. company
with a youth, on board the American ship Polvnesian,
of the Allan Line. It appears that ou Wednes-
day 31r. Isaac .Swan, a publican aud also a work-
ing miner at Ashby-du-la-Zouche. discovered to his
horror that liis wife and children had left bis home,
the Navigation Inn, accompanied br a young man
named WUliam ThomiwelJ. They nad takeu with
them a considerable amount of money, and a silver
watch, the property of the distressed husband, who
had no sooner made the discovery than he gave chase
to the fugitives. Arri\-ing in Liverpool, he at once
proceeded to the L^ndiug-atage, where. a.s he anticl-
pateil, he came across Ids * erring VPife ' aud three
small' children, who were preparing for their
Transatlantic trip with young Thomlwell.
The aggrieved husband at once gave information
to the Police, and Detective-Constable Jones appre-
hended tbe fneitives and took them to the detective
office. Tborniwell, who is a youth between 19 and
HO ve^rs of age, and a clerk In the employ of the
Midland Railway Company, was detained in the Main
Bride well pendijtg the arrival of the Police from Leices-
tershire. I Mrs. Swan is apparently about 40 years
of age, land she presented a striking contrast to
Thorniwell, who is a little fellow of very bo>*ish ap-
Eearubeel A recoueillation has been brought about
etween ihe husband and his wife, and in the course
of the evening Mr. Swan was to be seen in the neigh-
borhood of the detective office carx^-ing his youngest
bom affectionately In his arms, as if notnlng had
occurred to mar the even tehor of his matrimonial
exiat^nee."

and the counter sW of the latter against the former.
InMayl IgTl, MpEcTieverria & Cfcj. chartered the

her full dirgoesj and to pay $4,300 for her use
durine |the i rounjd voyage, and also to pay all port
chaises, pilcitag^- liehteragc^ Consul fees, &c.. at for-
eign ports.' jOnehalf of the charter was also to be
considered earned ana du» upon the proper delivery
of tho puter'cargb. and was to Iw payable in Kow-

tion of the yoysik except $40*0.' to he paid to the

was to iK'pay^bljfc upon proper delivery of the return

port should be ascd abroad, the time consumed in
cfaangiiig ports uj)t to be counted as lay da^s, and at
all Meiican p<^rlM the time to be 30 running days.
Also, no dauger6ii3 trip was to be made in water of
insufficient dep'i .
The owners jtf the schooner brought suit for
breach of| chai^er iigaiust the charterers, and
sought to reeove;' $4,625 97. with Intere t, alleeing
that in \ioLatibi^ >f the terms of tbe agreement tbe
agent of tnel cba^ Lerers had induced tbe master to at-
tempt to Hirt>''ft cargo of 30 tons of fustic across a
bar at Alomdao to reach PlacotaJpam to secure an
additioual ; caTiio of cedar aud mahogany. The at-
tempt waift made ou July 5, 1874, when tJie vessel
grouuded on the bar. auH the maiitar found it impos-
sible tb reach jjFkicotalpam. He thereupon offered to
receive tli!o additional cargo outside the bar. which
offer, howjjver, [the agent declined, and refused to
have anything more to do with the vessel, even
against thie j master » protest. The master then rt'-
tumed to Vetja ktxxz, and unsuccessfully endeavored
to obtjaln a hojmjQ cargo. He inu. therefore, obliged
to nrcrcurel ball^it aud sail for Xew.York with the
fustiej Th^ owiiers farther charged that, in addition
to not furuisbliig a home cargo, the cliarterera re^
fused to pay pon charges, pilotage, and demuirage,
and that upon thb vessol's return there became due,
according to I c](i|rt:er, $4,300. aud seven days' de-

for bsJlast, I wh^th the master was obliged to pro-
cure, together filth $tj5 40 iu gold for port charges,

The chailerers in their answer sey that the master
could have made thci puss^'tge lu t'lacotalpam, but re-
fused, iu. violi^tion of the terms of tbe charter, an that

about 12 'milks in length, was mortgaged to Ruel

to sectu*e th^ payment of ^^0^.400 advanced to the

November, ItijoO.i the company mortgaged the whole
lino of the road to the Conixoissiouers of tht* Sjnking
Fund to| Botujre $800,000 lent to the company by
other parties. I On the 17th of October, 1B51. the

Joseph McKein, and 21. S. Hugar, in trust to secure
bonds issued by the company to the amount of
$'230,000, known aii first mortgage bon^. On tbe

mortguged to the same Trustees to secure the pay-
ment ufja IjUrtber issue of bonds to the amount of
$250,000, Ipibwn as the second mortgage bonds, lu

this stock. ,divMonds of 10 per cent, per annum were
to bo i pujidJ Two hundred thousand dollars
of it iu I amount is averred to be still out-
standing. On tlie 7th of October, 1B52, a proposition
waa made by the company to the following effect :
The company was to waive its existing right to re-
deem at pleasure Its road from North Yarmouth to
Portland, hhdlto make it irredeemable until Nov. 1,
1870, pro\-We(d the holders of the certificates of in-
debtedness would, by indorsement thereon, author-
ize the Trust^s, after paying llie holders 3 per cent.
semi-aunoallyi upon tne amounts severally repre-
sented by such certiJicates. " to pay orer semi-
annually to tl^e Treasurer of tho company, for the tise
and benefit of the company, the balance of the In-
crome (for iiiterest) which rtie stockholders are now
entitled to receive, (viz., '2 per cent.,) to be held by
him and appropriated, as far as may be reqtiired, or
as the same ihay go, to the payment of interest to
such pr«jfer]rea stockholders as shall surrender their
old certificate^ of stock aud receive new certificates
of preferred dtock bearing 3 per cent, interest or in-
come semi-annually, in lieu of 5 per cent., as now
stipulated, said payment of 3 per cent, to the holders
of said certificates and of the balance aforesaid to the
Treasurer b>"| said Trustees seml-aimually to be In
ftill of I the annual income of 10 per cent, to
which ^aid certificate-holders are now entitled."
It was ordered by the'company that if the proposed
arrangement should be made with the North Yar-
mouth certiflcHte-holders, the fund thereby saved
should be applied in payment of the dividends accru-
ing on |t|i* neW certificates of preferred stock, as also
proposed;: Authority was glveu to the President of
the company {to Issue such new certificates of pre-
ferred stock, and to waive tlie right to redeem the
North Yarmouth Road until Nov. 1, 1870. the time
named in the proposition. None of the holders of
the prefetrea | stock accepted this proposition
until aept.'*! 1,1 1853. The flwt new certifi-
cate bears ' date on that day. The
other certiflcates were issued subsequently.
On the ICth of December, 1S53. tbe company or-
dered 3 perorat. tVbe paid, on the 1st of Janunrv
then neect, tol all the holders of the new certificate
for the preferred; itoc^ Tbe company became hope-
ThaTmsteos oi the second mort-
aottgass. Th* f oreclostoa waa
perfected and became abtolst* la May, 1862. In
Norember, 1862, the bondholders imd«rthat mort-
gage formed a new corpomtlon by the name of tha
Portland and Kennebec Company. The Tnuteea
conveyed to this company. The company went into
IK»)iesslon. and has sinc« been in possession and
operated the read and claimed to own it. This blU
is tiled by the complaiuanis as holders of ^he aSw
certificates of preferred stock for themselves and in
behalf of the other holders not before the court.
The claim is to recover the 4 per cent, per annum re-
linquished by the North Yarmouth holders of certifi-
cates of indebtedness, pursuant to the proposition of
tlie original company, and which proposition was
also to give to the holders of the new certificates of
preferred stock what is claimed by this bill. The
decree dismissed the bill, and is here affirmed, the
court finding the proceedings regular, and that there
was no privity between the complainants an3 the
new corporation, and that the latter did not sncoeed
to the liabilities of the old corporation. Mr. Justice .
Swayne delivered the opinion.

SEXTIitEXT IX CATTARAVGTTS.
The Cattaraugus Bepublican prints an extract
from a letter from one of tho leading Bepublicans of
that county, in which the writer says : " The princi-
ples of the Republican Party are jtist as eloriotis
now as they were from 1361-5, when millions of us
left the endearments and comforts of home, and iif-
dured in our persons the hardships and privations,
and sufferings and fatigues of army life, and faced the
perils of the battle field to establish and uphold these
principles. Just as gloriotis as They were when it
struck the shackles from five millions of slaves —
just as plorious us when these four million former
bondmen and bondwomen were enfranchised by it,
and made citizens of the United States, equal before
our laws, as they are equal before the promises of
the (jcspel, for the good things of this life, as well as
the life to come. Just as glorious and worthy of
support now as they have beeu at auy time during
the last '20 years. VThen we as Republicans have
made the brightest page In the h&tory of the
human rare for great and noBle deeds,
is it well or becoming for Republicans
now t-o forgpt and turn away from this
jjrand record / The mission of the Republican Party
i> not accomplished until all the promues of the Gov-
erunit-nt an? faithfully redeemed and fulfilled, aud
our plighted faith shall stand before the civilized
world as "Yea and amen.' Until all are equal in
rights before our Ijord, and the riehts of all are
equallv protected by the law. I am fully persuaded
that t^e Republican Party will not falter because
President Hayes has betrayed his trusts, but will
keep right on, neither lookine to the right nor to the
left, and ne%'er lowering the tiaimer under which it
has pert'ormed Its great work and won its noble vic-
tory. In such times as these the * Old Guard '
should not falter, but keep right on,
ne ver for a moment beedine the cry of
the 'Lo! here' of the greenback chaps, or the
' Lo I there ' of any other chaps. The old faith
should be our shibboleth. 'Touch not, taste not.* I
hope to be at your place soon, but. meantime, let me
hear from you ; but don't be seduced from the true
faith bv the greenback craze, or, for that matter, by
any otlier craze. ''
A PARALYZED PASSEXGER
The Charlottesville (Va.) ChrimicUot the 10th
Inst, says: "On Saturday last a passenger on the
eastern-bound Chesapeake and Ohio train attracted
the attention of his fellow-travelers by his slngu
lar appearance as he sat as straight as an arrow
in his seat, with his eyes fixed in one direction,
and without moving a muscle. From the White Sul-
phur to Staunton the man remained motionless, and
when the traiu stopped at Staunton retained his seat
without indicating any emotion when many of tho
passengers left the ears. A new conductor took
charge of the train at Staunton, and came around
shortly to collect the rickets. He could ^t no an-
swer to his demand frotn the mystenotis pas-
senger, who was as silent aud motionless as
a statue, except that an occasional tear
dropped from bis transfixed eyes and rolled
down his cheeks. It was di<5covered, however,
that he had no ticket, and when the train arrived at
Charlottesville he was found to be entirely helpless,
and was removed from the cars to the Central Hotel,
where the medical skill of Dr. Lewis was extended
to him in his singular affiiction. Several hours
elapsed before he could be sufficiently 'readjusted'
to utter a word. Finally, however he was waked up
to such au extent by the application of Judicious
remedies as to state that his name was Samuel Kid-
der Campbell, and that he was from Bucyrtis, Oh io.
Mr. Campbell states that he came from Bucyrus
to the White Sulphur Springs, where he
remained one dav, but all that transpire*!
from the time he left that point until he was
brought to his right mind in Charlottesville
ia a blank. The physicians ssy he was attacked by
something in the nature of congestion of the bram,
and consider the case remarkable. At last accotints
the patient was entirely relieved and in a fair way
to recover."
AXQORA aOAT RAISIXO.
The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise saya: "N. Gil-
more, of the CKlmore Soda Springs, seven miles from
£merald Bay, Lake Tahoc, is a very snccesafnl breed-
er of Angora goats, a flock of 2,700 of which animals
he has at his place at the head of Fallen Leaf Lake,
two miles from his springs. In all he has over 3,00O
of these goats, some 4O0 being at a ranch below
Placervllle. At tliis ranch all the animals are herded
in Winter. He crosses the Angora with the common
goat, and continues to breed In aud in until the prop-
er length of fleece is attained. At the first crossing
the wool produced Is short, and the fleece light, but
finally the staple becomes long and fine, and tbe
fleece heavy, the weight being five or six pounds for
each animal. The short wool sella to mantifac-
turers in the Atlantic States at 65 cents per pound.
while tlie long is worth from 90 cents to $1 10. Mr.
GUmore finds no difficulty in rearing the goats on his
mountain ranches."
WORK FOR CALIFORXIA TOVTH.
The Chico (CaL) Record says : •' Work for
bo}*^ and girls appears to be looking up in various
parts of the State. We notice that picking hops is
one branch of industry that promises to give boys a
chance to do something. The season lasts for about
two months, and the wages promised are $8 per
mcQth and foimd. Porno. Mendocino Cotinty, offers
the boys this chance. The boys have to provide
themselves with blankets, tin cup, and plate, also
knife and fork and spoon. This looks as tbou^ the
boys were Taqtttred to Hve like Chinameo, and work
.for leas wages. Bttt let them have connge. and work
whaAoiw cmnortmutr often. Then is a better dar
eomLag for thocB, and ^bn- Hay s«t alwsn be obUgeA
to eompece with China tabor. Qca. Bid^ell's new
frutt-dzying house foznlahee em^leymaat Ut 20 or
30 'boys and giris, preparing fimit for the driu*.
There werA many more applicanta for work than
were wanted, thus showing that our youths are will-
ing and anxious to work when opportunity is offered.
The hours the boys and girls are reqnired to labor at
the fruit -drier's seems to be a hardship on tbe voung
people. They have to commence work at 6:30 X. M.,
are given half an hotir for lunch, aud at 12:30 com-
mence work again, and conrinue until 6:30 P. "SX.
We should suppose thia to be pretty hard on the
young people, who desire to drTsomethmB in order to
awist ui paying their way in the wn rid. Few me-
chanics are required to work more thau 10 hour*
each dav, and men are better calctdatcd to endure
contiif&aa labor than boys and glria of tender
years." _

DETAILS OP TqE HEART-BBKDING CALAMI-
TY IN A CANADIAN ALMS-HOC8E— HERO-
ISM OF A POOR OLD BLIKD MAX.
A telegram from Simcoe. Ontario, to the Chi-
cago Times gives the following account of the soenes
attending the burning of a alms-hoose, with its at-
tendant lamentable loss of life, -on Satnrday evening
last:
'* At 10:45 o'clock on Saturday evening fire was
diseovexed in the poor-house on the Industrial Form
of tbe Cotmtry of Xorfolk, and about one mile from
this town. The building was very old, dry, and built
of wood. The fire originated in the centre of the
building down stairs, and spread so rapidly that be-
fore any alarm could be given both staircases were
in ruins, thereby cutting off retreat through the
doors. The inmates were sleeping both on the ground
floor and the first floor above, the men on the one
side and the women on the other. Very few people
were at the scene of the conflagration, owing to the
distance at which the poor-honse was situated
from thel town. The fire alarm was not
sounded aid no fire-engines or firemen were
present. »eapwhile the flames spread rapidly
and, notwithstanding the extreme exertions and com-
plete-presence of mind of an old blind man, an inmate
of the btiildlng, who went through room after room
and awoke tbe men and boys and controlled them to
the beat of his ability, the inmates lost all control
of themselves and were as helpless as infants. The
blind man forced five or six out of the window above,
and worked until the flames^ and smoke compelled
him to seek safety in fli^t. Notwithstanding his
e^oris, nine of the males perished in the flames.
Meantime, some one In the crowd forced an en-
trance from the outside to the female department,
and succeeded in awakening all the inmates. Tbey
were, if possible, more excited than tho men, and al-
though manv jumped out of the windows, at a dis-
tance of 12^eet, o^ers could jtot be induced to leave.
Owing to tbe rapidity with which the flames spread
the time was very short, not exceeding from the first
25 minutes before the greater part of the building
was in flames. Meanwhfle, the grounds-surrounding
th© building were in a state of great confusion. Men
and women were running like mad people, some half-
dressed and sotne with nothing on but iMUght-shirt, '
crying and uttering the most pitiful shrieks. During'
tfats time the crowd were witnessing a sad and
heartrending scene. Men and women oould be
seen through the open windows seated on their
beds, aud the flames rapidly licking the bed-
clothes and their own scanty -clothing. One woman .
went down stairs, and when she found all retreat
was cut off In that direction she sank down an tbe
stairs and perished. She was plainly visible through
the open door, and manv a brave heart sickened and
turned from this most horrible spectacle. Another
woman threw two of her children out of the window
and then jumped herself. Fortunately, some men
underneath caught both mother and chUdren. After
a lapse of 15 or 20 minutes the floors and walls gave
way and left nothing standing but the frame. Theu
the victims cotild plainly be Rcen in the ruins burn-
ing. This was the most sickening snene that the
crowd had to withstand. Soon the frame fell, and in
a very short time all was buried in smoke and ashes.
There were seven men, eight women, and two boys
burned to death, and foocr men who escaped were
badly btimed, and one man had his leg broken by
jumping from the window. These tmfortunates re-
ceived all possible attention. They were conveyed
at once to the County J^l, in this towu, aud re-
ceived medical aid from Dr. Hayes, the poor-house
surgeon, and tender care from the amiable wife of
the jailer. It is feared that one man, named John
Cavinne. will not recover. Those who escaped were
well cared for. They were temporarilv housed in
the bam and a small house on the premi*;6s, and at-
tended to by the Matron of the poor-house.
There were 40 inmates, 23 of whom escaped
and 17 perished in the flames. At an early
hour Sunoay morning two large wooden boxes were
made, aud the charred bodies were carefully collected
adti placed in these coffins. Dr. John \Vatson, Coro-
ner, impaneled a jtuy, and an inquest was held. It
was, however, nostponed until 7 P. M. Wednesday
evening, to be lield in Slmcoft. The remains were
buried at 5 P. M- Sunday, in the poor-honse burj--
Ing-ground, in two graves. From an early hotir Sun-
day momine until long after dark in the evening the
towns-people visited the late scene of disaster by hun-
dreds, and many came from surrounding towns and
villages to witness the most ruinous fire and loss of
life on record in the Coimtv of Norfiolk.
Following is a list of tW names of the nine men
and boys who perished in tne flames, and the town-
ships to which thev belonged : William Houck, Wal-

one-sixth ; Denmark, Sweden, Korway, Poland, Rus-
sia, and England, one-slitli. Tlie document expresses
the hope that his friends will make a just and equal
division of the estate, and that the principlen advo-
cated by the deceased will ultimatelyprevauthrough-
out the world. A number of names are mentione<t
as Executors and as belonging to the organization of
Social Democrats, among them Garibaldi, of Italy ;
John Philip Becker, of Geneva ; August Bebel and
William Llebrccht, of Leipzig ; W. Bracke, Jr.. of
Braumschwcig ; August Geib. of Ilamburg ; Karl
Marx, of London, Secretary of the Internationale. The
concltasion of the will Ls quite eloquput. He expresses
the hone, in the fulmess of his heart, that
this little grain of sand which he has contributed to
the beautiful temple in process of erection, in which
freedom, equality, and justice will be enthroned, will
be the nucleus of an aotuidance of material to com-
plete the grand and glorious structure ; that the
motto " One for all and all for one" will be the guid-
ing star of the order ; that the only religion worthy
of the name regards tho whole world as its family.
and the whole earth the fatherland. The will is
probably Invalid, as the Executors are not properly
named, and there are no witnesses. The money will
remain in the hands of the Public Administrator im-
til claimed by the heirs, if there be any ; if not
claimed within a certain time it will escheat to the
State.
A UOT PLACE.
The Virginia (Nev.) Enterpriu of the 4th
inst. says : ' ' The Savage Incline, at a point near tbe
water, ia so hot as to be almost beyond human en-
durance. But for their shirts the skin of Uie men
would be blistered as though by a jet of scalding
steam. A man from the mine, who was in Dr.
Conn's office yesterday, showed a blister on his arm
that was nearly as large as a man's hand. This
blister was caused by exposing bis arm at the bottom
of the incline. It ia so hot down at the water that
in screwing a nut on the end of a bolt one man would
be able to do no more than fasten a monkey-wrenoh -
upon it before he would be obliged tt) retreat.
Another would then descend and give the wrench
two or three tarns, when he woold fall back and a
tldrd man would go down and give It a few turns.
Yesterday morning the giraffe got off the track well
down the Incline, and in trying to replace it one of
a small party of men was so overcome by the heat
that he fell down in a state of inRemdoility. His
companions carried him from a point between the
l,7O0 and the 1,900-foot levels to the 1,300 foot
level ot the Hale and Korcross Mine, where he could
obtain a mouthful <)f fresh air. He was still uncon-
scious when he reacned xh» point named. The Hale
and Xorcress Mine is now ^nlte cool, the draft in It
having sgaln changed, being once more down the
main shaft." _

To SWIETES THE EKBATH AND CLEANSE THE
rEZTH.— Alwaj-s clean thy teeth at night just before
[eviring. for particles of food collect between the
teeth during the day, and if left there all night will
decay, causing the breath to become offensive and
aisoproTe %'ery injurious tothe teeth. Scrub the teeth
with a hard brush, using little, if any, soap ; sprinkle
on a little powdered borax (one pinch wjll do) until
the gums are hardened and become accustomed to
^it -, nnse the mouth often with borax water ; it will
vrevent it from becoming sore or tender. If artificial
teeth are worn, cleanse tliem thoroughly with borax,
and when convenient let them remain in borax water,
(every night if possible ;) it will purify them and help
to Bweeten the qreath. — Mollie.
To Cure A Corn. — Bind on it a crushed cran-
berry for a few nights.
Callous Spots o.n the Feet.— Tf the spots are
not too large, the use of adhesive white felt bunion
plasters would afford great relief, if not a permanent
cure. A largo and painful com may be cured in this
way i First bathe the feet in a strong solution of
borax — tablespoonful of powdered borax in a ba-
sin of water : bathe at least twice a week : let the
f^wt remain in the water half an hour or more ; pare
the com a little : be careftil not to make it b^ed,
and place tlie bimion* or com plaster, whichever size
Is needed, on the com : let it remain on day and
niiUit ; pare the com everj' day or two : fill the CR^-ity
In "the centre of the plaster with some of the pulp of
a lemon, aithcugh this is not absolutely necessary
except in very stubborn cases. Wear the plaster for
a week or longer after the com is cured ; it prevents
the shoe ^m nibbing or irritating the tender spot.
•■ Perpetual paring " (unless the corns or spots are
afterward protected) will increase the size. The
plasters can be procured at any druggist's. — Molli£.
Calloits Spots ox the Fekt, II.— Pare and
touch with nitrate of silver three or four times. For
redness and bnruiiu; of soles, soak ten Or a dozen
times in hot, strong borax-water, or in hot. strong
lye of oak ashes. The latter is excellent also
*^p^inst chilblains. — G.
Xo Oil for the Haib.— We know of no oil whose
repeated use c;*^ be of advantage to "Susy's" or any-
body's hair.
To Keep Fcrs. — In laying up furs for the Stun-
xcer a taiiow candle iu or near them will obviate all
danger from worms.
To PrBiTT Clothes. — When clothes have an un-
nnpleosant odor from being kept from the aii, char-
rou 1^ in the folds win spee<uly remove it.
TO D«smoY MoiKK ob Caspit Buoe. — Sprinkle
they sre tacked down, then sprinkle plant r all ftround
the edses of the carpet after it is down, ind blow or

Therej Si nothing zeally meritorious in thli action,
and it would be silly for other regiments generally to
foUowT jthe example of the Albanians. It is well
known that whatever assistance the National Gnaid
receives from ,thia State, is given with a grudging
hand, pnd although the nattiral consequence of such
an action as that of the Bursesaes Corps is to elicit a
"hurrah" from the frenervl public, it will have no
effect I in .increasing the next appropriation of funds
for puachasing the necessary' supplies for keepiSK up
the S^at^ MiStia. Take the First and Second Dl-
vision?, for instance. They have not had a camp of
Instmction j for years, cecatise, the Adjutant-
General i says, '"We have no money for
such porpo^." The State Arsenal is^ devoid
of tbe necessary stores for use in case of an nnmedi-
ate call for the troops, and is principally a depot for
the receipt and distribution of cartridges for use at
Creedthoor. The Quartermaster-General is constantly
open to censure on this accotint, when in reality the
want of supplies la due to a lack of money with which
to piurchase them. There are not even waD-tenta
enougli on hand to supply any enterprising regiment
which may desire to go Into camp at its own expense.
■While this rigid economy lasts ihe variotis reztmenta
will noit be censmred as being miserly for taking the
money! due tilem for service and applying it toward
the purchase of haversa ks, canteens, overcoats, and
blankets for use in active 8er\'ice when called upon.

The residents of iiyracuse have long been ac-

they thought so much of it that they slept with un-
locked doors previous to the late disturbances in their
vicinity. But when the time for action came,
thev fopJid their pet was a mere toy,
and' totally ineflticient as a miiitarj' organi-
zation. The locel newspapers have abused
the regiment, and a census of it has been taken, with
the result of finding 150 ■' good men and true " out
of an enrolled total of 410. A public meeting was
held at the armory of the Fifty-first last Wednesday

spirited citizens. The Syracuse Courier winds up a

The oSicers rejKirt that recniiting has been brisk
in this command since its return froni Homells-
viile. This is not to be wondered at, as the
regiment ce> tuinly made a splendid record while per-
forraimr active service in what its members term the
'■late war.'' IVequenters at Creedmoor. have, how-
ever, noticed the absence of a representation of this
command on the nmue. and it is rumored that there
is to be no team from that organization at Creed-
moor tliis Fall. It is to be hoped that the " crack ''
.shots of the regiment will assemble immediately and
subtain the reputation of their organization.

DISSATISFACTION ACEOSS THE BORDER WITH
TEE WASHINGTON TREATY.
Toronto Globe prints the following in its
correspondence from St. John's, Newfoundland, under
dateof Aug. 1 : "There is a growing feeling of distrust
in regard to the probable results of the Fishery Com-
mission. It becomes more and more evident from
our experience this year that in accepting the Wash-
ington Treaty we formed an utterly inadequate esti-
mate of the value of the concessions we then made
to the r'nlted States, and failed to anticipate the
serious character of those con''essions as far as our
ownfislieries were concerned. In throwing open our
shores ^o American fishermen we anticipated that
matters would go on as under the old Reciprocity
Treaty, and that few. if any. American fishing ves-
sels wotild find it profitable to visit these shores, or
wimld be able to compete with our own fishermen.
But what is the actual fact i Thss year a vast
tieet of American bankers have been visiting
our harbors for the purpose of securing
bait and ice. So rapidly is this practice
developing itself that speedily the great bulk of
American fishing vessels employed on the banks will
regularly resort to our shores fur all their bait. This
bait they can now either take themselves or purchase
frohi our fishermen. To the Americans this conces-
sion ia enormous. Wlien prosecuting the bank fish-
ery .they can run into one of our harbors in *J4
hours, procure a fresh supply of bait, aud in a brief
period return to their fisnm:; grounds. Inste d of
two trips, they will now be able to make three or
more during the season, thus adding immensely to
their catclv. But it appears our " cute " cousins re-
fus*^ to i admit that we are entitled to any money
compensation for this concession. They artnie
that few (,»f their fishermen avail themselves of it —
an a.Hsertion contrary to fact — and that those who do
benefit us bv creating a IraflBc in bait. Doubtless a
fewlof our fishermen may benefit by this traffic. In
cases where Americans prefer pun-hasing to taking
baitl on their own account ; but clearly thLs is an
utterly insignificant item when compared with the
enormous gidu on the part of Americans, and for
which they seem desirous of refusing any compensa-
tioul %Then our ca-ne Is fully and faXrly stated t>efore
the tribunal appointed to investigate the whole mat-
ter, [we camiot fail to obtain a la^e award, should an
impartial decis on be arrived at. The whole of our
case Is not yet stated. The convenient proximity of
Xew^foundland to the American fishing grounds on
the banks is now duly appreciated, and finding here
an inexliaustible supply of bait, .Americans will more
and biore oi'cupy the smaller banks near our shores,
and thus seriously injure our inshore fisheries. ^SHieu
thes<? outer grounds are baited with miles of bultows
the fish are prevented from coming inshore. Tlie
povtjrtv und eihau-stion of American fishing grounds,
of whfch we did not dream when we wcepted the
Washington Treatv, are now made apparent by the
eagcniess with which the American llshermen are
resorting here, aud by their keen appreciation of
Prof Hind's disclostires regarding the new fishing
grounds on Northern Labrador. For thj* valu-

■•■the kdmlssion of our tish, duty free, to. their
markets. They managed cleverly to exclude oi^ seal
oil from the free list, the admission of which would
httve'been a real advantage. It la too late now to
backiuut, but most of our people would regard it as
a bodu should the proceedings of tluj Fisherj- Com-

^lASSACHUSETTS FIRES IN ISTG.
I —
A TCJTAL OF 1,53S
SURANCE^
TlJ^ Insurance Commissiotierof Ma-ssaohii-sett.s
has issued a supplementary' report. gi%ing tbe re-
sults) of his first efi'ort to secure statistics of the
manufacturing interests of the State, with special
reference to th^ business of insurance aud of fires
and their causes! He says tliat the statistics of fires
during 1S76 are compiled from data furnished by
Seiectlmeu of toTms, or Chief Enf;ineers of Fire De-
pRrtnieut,s. In response to acircular. with suitable
blanks, issued \xy the Commis-siouer, schedules were*
received from all the cities and towns in the State,
except Adams, Bemardston, Deerfield. Mon.son, Rut-
land, and Ware. Repeated requests failed to elicit a
reply from these towns. ' Eighty-seven towns return
"no fires durinjf the year." The whole number of
fires reported is L,53b. The following are the causes
assignbd :

The^e is Bbun<Jant evidence that many of tbe fires
reported " incendiar>', " (uotablyiu bams and isolated
buildiugs,) are c lused by "tramps;" but the laree
perceiitage of such fires where the insurance exceeded
the value of the'; property destroyed indicates that
othersJ besides the trampi apply the incendiary torch.
We ifind that lof the fires reported IGl. or more
than 6ne in 10, j were caused by "defective chim-
neys."! An annual loss to our citizens of more
than $200,000 [from this cause can be almost
entirely avoided by the enactment and enforcement
of a Juoicious building law. \\'hen the people can be
made to realize jthat it is not the insurance com-
panies; but themselves, who pay the losses by fire,
we may hope td see such a law upon our statute
books, I adapted to the necessities of the smallest
towns as well as to the large cities. The same may
be said in regard to tires from exposures. One hun-
dred and twenty-ieven fires are reported as having
originated in j contiguous buildings. When
proper aitentioji is given to the construc-
tion of buildiugs, less difficulty will be ex-
perienced iu confining ;a fire to the building in
which lit originaljes, and the annual loss from this
caus^ will be muc^ diminished. It should not be In-
ferred, from what has been said, that no attention
has yetlbeen given to this impoi-tant subject. Kx-
celle'nt laws are in force iu Boston, Salem, and, per-
haps[ other clties.l The universal adoption of such
laws'isiihe end sought by those who resize the value
of theih. [ '
The fires reported as resulting from carelessness
are ssczdbed to a multitudb of causes, the most prom-
inent of which ar^ smoking, dampers left open, and
hanging wet fabrics too near hot stoves. The whole
number of unoccupied dwelling-houses in the State,
as shbwn by the census of 187o, is 11.705- Seventy
fires.lor about onejin 1G7. are reported in this class
of property, 04r of which are returned "incen-
diary,"! 4 '■ unknown," and U " careless-
iie«ts.V I A larg^ proportion of these build-
ings appear xq\ have been overiusured, and
in most eases the loss is total. From the same
source we find the number of occupied dwellings to
be 255.51 y. Six hundred and sixty-eight fires, or
one in 382, are reported in this chiss. From these
statistics it would appear that the hazard of an un-
occupied dwelling is a little more than double that of
one occupied ; but) the fact that most of the uuoc-
cunied property isj totally destroyed In case of fire,
increases this ratio many times. The loss or damage
by the fires reported amoimta to $3,531,S99. The
a^^egato of losses incurred by all the insurance
companies doing business in the State durine the
year is $2.73?<,1S0- Making liberal allowances for
errors In the returns and for other causes of differ-
ence, it is probside that the loss for the year iu
excess of the insurance was fully $500,000.
JUDGE WESTS IDEAS OX COOPERATIOX.
The Cincinnati C\>m?H<?rc('a/ of Monday says:
"Judge [West, at Cleveland, spoke of requiring rail-
road companies and mine-owners to pay remunerative
wagesaud share with the employes the net earnings at
the end ^f the year^ If it was to be required of them,
then by whomi By the La^latures of the States?
They are not competent in the case of railroad com-
panies, at least- '\*"]ast other body but Congress con' d
legislate on the subject? NVhat characterized thb* as
extraordinary doctrine to come from a man of Judge
West's reputation i as a jurist and scholar. But it
now appears that h« did not quite moau all he said.
He made use of a] word that was not expressive of
his sense. Ho now says he would have this state
of things brotight about by voluntary agreement be-
tween the parties. J That is quite another thing. No-
body will object tio that, and it is a matter that
does not concern j politics as applied to govern-
ment. Doubtless the co-operative prmciple,
if reduced to practice extensively, not only
in railroad aud rhining affairs, but in all kind's
of industry where labor and cnpital must be com-
bined for a successful issue, would go a long way to
prevent ' misunderstaadiugs and strikes, for if inter-
ested in the net gains, the laborer would find it to his
advantage to push the enterprise to its greatest ca-
pacity [and for the largest result. He would want no
eight-hour law, nor woidd he encourage anions and
associations that laake it a part of their duty to see
that the work averages only so much an hour per
hand employed. But if it is to be a voluutar>* matter
we do not see anyrdasonfor bringing it forwardearly
in a political canvass, as though It were a matter at
issue betw««a paxtias, and to b« discuMed on th«
■tntmiJ" '

Speculation on the Stock Exchange was more

A few days ago the nt-wsp&pt^ns of Milwaukee
announced that a swiu-b mail uu one of the railroads
had be«u run ovt-r by a train uf curs and h&d both
legs amputated. The nert dny, ^vbile the Sentintl

The biographer of a poet ought to retire
fato the wUdemesa for a sufficient spaiie of time,
mud, on the diet of an anchorite, to purify his
bodiiy and mental fibre oC anger, partisanship,
Knd, if possible, of dnllneas. No one supposes that
Ihe Ufa of Poe was passed on roses — certainly not
on the rosea perceptible to the senses, however
many may have been the beds of flowers that
grvwlnhis exuberant imagination. After death
at least bis fate has been a hard one. Dr. Grls-
wold, an muraccesafol litterateur, did his best to
slander his memory in a biography porporting
to be that of a friend ; he tamed everything he
eoold to its worst constmctionf and, where
praise was necessary, damned Poe with its faint-
ness. The French poet Baudelaire swooped
down npon Oriswold in the following word^ as
given by Mr. Gill:
*' Some, nciting the dullest unintelli^nce of his
genius to the f ero<;ltv of the hypocritical trading
class, have insulted him to the uppermost (tic) after
his untimely enii, mdely hectoring his poor Bpeech-
less corpse, particularly Mr. Rufua W. Griswoid, the
pMagoffue vampire, who has defamed hia friend at
• full length, in an enormous article, wearisome and
cranuned with hatred, which was prefixed to the
posthumous editions of Poe'a works. Are there then
uo regulations in America to keep the eurs out of the
cemeteries I "
In this country Poe has had his defenders
from the insidious attacks of his pretended
friend, but they most have seemed too luke-
warm for the aathor of the present Ufe. Hr.
Gffl is overcome witli wrath at the atrocious
e^nmnies heaped upon Poe while he still lived
■nd was criticising the writers of the day, as
well as those retailed after death, . when he
eoTild no longer make a defense. In the inter-
vals between denunciations of Griswold Mr. Gill
consdders that the telling of a poet's life requires
poetical treatment, and begins his second
chapter as follows :
" Edgar Allan Poe was bom In Boston on the 19th
of -January. 1309. Bom to privation, marked before
birth with the brand of Ms father's vice, the orphan
of two years seemed called to face an abject future.
But a glamour of sunshine, at least, was destined to
illume his path. It was but a ^Ismoor, a glamour
that proveu In the end but as a winding-sheet to the
hopes of our poet."
This " glamour" which Mr. Gill tells us about
consisted in his adoption t^y a wealthy citizea
of Kichmond who was childless, but who many
years afterward had a child that inherited the
fortune promised to Poe. In other words, Poe
was a spoiled adopted son, who was roughly
treated for very natural faults that seem to have
had their rise in the bad managrement of his
adopted parent far more than in any great vicious-
ness on his own part. The accounts of his wild-
ness at the English school and the American
college have been proved apocryphal by testi-
mony of teachers and schoolmates, while the
episode at 'West Point, where he was ehtered
for the Army, only proves that the routine was
too wearisome for his mind. He wished to
leave, and secured his dismissal by just enough
Insubordination. The volume of poems pub-
ftshed while a cadet was not his first, but on the
contrary, a third edition. At least two volumes of
Juvenile poems had been issued previoas to his
entrance, but their existence was iiardly known
to lialf a dozen people. Here are some stanzas
of a satire on a certain Mr. Joseph Locke, who
was hated by the cadets for "reporting'' their
pranks:
** As for T,ocke. he is nil in mv eye.
May the devil right soon for his soul call i
He never was kuowu to lie
In bed at a rtceUU roUnsH
*' John Locke was a notable name,
Joe Locke is a creater ; in short.
The former is well known to fame.
But the latter'a well known to report."
These and other early verses show a lack of
ear for rhythm, which Poe afterward overcame.
From the first he showed a tendency to mo-
notony in rhyme — that is to say, a love of repe-
tition of the same sound over and over again.
The comparatively few pieces which Mr. Gill
gives in this book show the fact strikingly, -and
by turning to a volume of his poems it is still
more apparent. " The Bells " is probably the
most complete example of this constitutional
; liking. A trait so marked cannot exist without
a reason of corresponding importance, and that
^reason may plausibly be traced in the lineage of
IPoe. Without going into the question of the
■origination of the name in the north of Italy,
•where t>e River Po is supposed to have given
iname to an old family, or an old family given
:iiame to it — without raisiii^ a question as
to the Le Peers of France, England, and Ire-
land, it is sufficient to say tliat Poe had un-
doubted Irish ancestry. His grandfather —
*I>avld — left Ireland when only 2 years of age,
and a relative of his who was a counselor-at-
law tn Ihiblin, wrote a long poem, quoted by
Hr. GHU, which Robert Bums liked so much
that he wrote it out and interleaved it with a
-volume of Johnson's Musical Museuvi, present-
ed by him to a friend. Each stanza ends with
■fbe Irish lines :
" AA .' gramachrie, »ia chaUie nougt,
Mo MuUy Oiture." i
Poe's grandfather married a lady of Pennsyl-
vania, with a Scottish name — Caimes — and his
father, the result of this union, married an act-
Teas with an English name — Elizabeth Arnold.
Poe was, therefore, Scoto-Irish by his father
and CO his mother's side English according to an
Indeterminable proportion. But his figure,
Jiis features, the general expression of
his genius, and imhappily some of his
worst fatilts, were particularly those of Irishmen.
Both his virtues and vices were Irish. Now,
when it comes to his poetry, that is found to
contain the very same qualities that the Irish
and Keltic-Scottish muse has always ex-
hibited : an imaginative flight of tremendous
power, and often equal vagueness, together with
an audacity of invention that sometimes falls
into mendadousness. The structure of Poe's
verse will be found to exhibit a weakness of
rhythm combined with a loving reiteration of
the same sound over and over aeain, which
has the effect of poverty of languagg^^So the
piayer on the bagpipes, the Keltic mu^cal In-
strument, finds a fresh and simple charm In
the unceasing drone on a pair of notes.
Just as one cannot help Uklng many so. Irish-
man, while hesitating to approve of what he
does and says, so the friends and aequaintazices
of Poe who still survive are ready to come for-
ward and testify to the many good and attract-
ive qualities of the man. There can be no
doubt that a very little alcohoUo stimulus up-
set his constitution. It is by no means a rare
phenomenon to see men who get the reputation,
and finally the character, of drunkards, by mere-
ly drinking, for the sake of sodability, an
amouat of alcohol that will give ordinary men
only a gentle exhilaration. This is particularly
frequent with the sons of hard drinkers.
But any one who shows the effect of liquor,

This must have been very ^pressing to
Poe, for he could not help being aware of the
feeling of insecurity people had for him. And
jvt, aU the while, his oonscience told him that
ha was doing everything possible for his^'wif e
and mother-in-law ; that he was not a monster
In any sense of the word, and that his harsh
levlawa of other writers, which raised him up a
3uwt of wncTniB«, were needed to eonntaraot, iji
Uteratnre, the deadly breath of money in a
eommniilty almost entirely mercantile.

tainly the least acquira'ble— side of the charno-
ter of the poet, ought to expect in his biogi^a-
pher the most" discriminating brain, the broad-
est heart, the most delicate hand. Of these
three we can accord Mr. Gill only the second.

CURIOSITIES OF ETHNOLOGICAL SCI-
ENCE.
ANCIENT SOCTETT : oa, RESEARCHES DTTO THE
LINES OF UUIIAN FBOGEESS FROM SAVAOB-
EY THROUGH BARBARISM TO CrVTUZATlON.
By Ljcwis H. Uoroax, LL. D. New-york: HxSia
Holt & Co. Pp. 5(iU.
This book, of the royal octavo kind, is on
a subject which is naturally one of the most in-
teresting in the world — that which, accord-
ing to Pope, is -^e proper study of man-
kind, and which has for ages incited the philo-
sophical or merely curious inquiries of ethnol-
ogiats-^hat is to say, the infancy of the human
race and the early growth of society from the
first simple conditions of the family or house-
hold. I
Gathering and comparing the facts and c<}n-
clusions of other writers on this theme. Dr.
Morgan assumes, and probably very justly, toat
men, whatever may bare been their origin,
were savages at first ; and also assumes, though
this may not seem so very evident, that ojar
homogeneous race has been wandering over she
earth from the geologic periods, say for a hundred
thousand or two hundred thousand years. In
a deliberate and ample way, suitable enougl to
a theme of so muct^ gravity and perplexity, he
formulizes the cycles of old society into the 6 iv-
age, (or lower,) the barbarian, (next abova,)
and the civilized, subdividing the first of tb ese
into the lower, middle, and upper status of
savagery, and the second in a similar way ; ( nd
drawing, as he carries out his plan, upon :he
logic of inferences i^i a great degree, yet giv ng
it a certain force which it may not be
very easy to gainsay. He shows 1 ow
each of these periods must have had its
peculiar ctilture and conditions. The earl est
people, living in the lowest status of savagi ry,
must have lived on fruits and roots, and wo old
be logically found in the tropical and sub-trop ical
regions of tne earth, thus pointing to the Ic eal-
ity which people have always regarded as the
place of human, origin. I Fish he regi rds
as the next sort of aliment among tl ose
savages, who must have eaten it raw at t rst,
beginning with shell-fish ; a state of th: ngs
largely vouched for by the testimony of the
Danish Sjokkenmoeddings ; and as fish s a
" brain food," it is natural to suppose it las-
tened the invention - of language, W> ich
our author attributes, to this pe riud
of savagerj-. This idea seems to be
a just one, since the ! efforts at ape :ch,
however cacophonotis and gesticulatory, i mat
have been among the very first made by mi n in
this world. Keit, (in a superior status, the bar-
barian,) men would cultivate and live on the
farinaceous foods, such as mainly sustaiuec i our
American tribes, who had no such plenty ol an-
imals as helped with meat and milk (the lext
improved order of aliment) the progress of the
Asiatics, and in our author's opinion, gav 5 to
the Arj'an and .Semitic races that supreuiac; ' of
mind and muscle which has become a matt* r of
such historic evidence and philological comg rat-
ulation. Our author does not discuss the el !ect
of aliment on national character ; but it n Ight
be a moot question of interest to decide in that
degree the carnivorous habits of men hav< in-
fluenced tiie murdi of what we call civiliza ion,
that is, the march of the strong over the v eok.
The beef -eaters are now in the ascendun ;, as
were the horse-eaturs in the old Mongolian ( ays,
and the rice-feeders are giving ground c\ exy-
where. The dread question of "strong driik,"
wiiich so closely toucues that of strong fo< d, is
one that we only venture to glance at, since LK>th
would seem in some unaccoimtable way t > be
mixed up with our customary order of civ llza-
tion.
The premises of these researches are deiived
from the contemporary evidence of some Ha-
-^^aiian and Australian customs, which are like-
\iise traced in the liistories of our chief A mer-
ican tribes, those of the Greelu and Boe lans,
and also of several Asiatic races ; and th( tes-
timonies thus gathered from modem so irces
and collated, in a general way, with tho le of
ancient writers, all tend to sustain the irgu-
mcnt of this book, viz., that civilization ^ew
gradually along with the needs and contriv .nces
of men, from the family in the first place ; next
into the gens, (a mpdification of the fan ily ;)
next into the phratry, or confederacy of Jiree
or more gentes ; then into the tribe, com^ losed
of several phratries ; and lastly into the : itate,
a union of tribes. The subject is fully disci ssed,
as It has been already by a number of able
writers, and must always be interesting fc r tho
new ^insights and conclusions to be gat lered
from the reports of travelers and tl 9 sa.
gacity of ethnological scientists.' The nov-
elty of this work will be found ii its
main argument — the thread, so to spea :, on
which the author strings his conclusiom —the
argument of sex, and the ancient supremi cy of
woman. This is traced through the early g rades
of savagery, upward into the gens, the p%atry
andrthe tribe, to the borders of civilizati rn, in
all countries ; and it is hard to resist th i con-
viction that it was! the influence mid ever mas-
tery of women which molded the aocial pi litics
and progress of our race in the early ages i f the
world — ^a proposition which the general ty of
people are not accustomed to recognize. But
the German, Bachojen, in his work I)as Jl utter-
recht, and other advanced ethnologists, have
thrown such light on the subject that th t con-
clusions of the book before us cannot be < Lisre-
garded. We must, iu fact, accustom ouri elves
to think that women were once of more wcial
dignity than their husbands, that the term
" better half " was no joke when applied to a
wife in the " savage period," and that, in all
phlioiogical seriousness, we should regard it
as a traditional expression, full of ethnic signifl-
cancy.
Dr. Morgan presents tho explanation of this
very curious piece of ancientry. It is briefly this
— that the woman only could verify parentage
and transmit name, right, and property ii . days
of consanguine and indiscriminate man iages,
such as were the rule of the " first familie i " in
all countries. In dealing with this rathi r be-
wildering and unsatisfactory subject of poly-
andry and polygamy, he be^ns with the mar-
riages of the contemporary Hawaiians an( Aus-
tralians, as described by Rev. Lorimer Fison
and others, and, arguing backward thro- igh a
crowd of testimonies, contends that the ej Isting
customs are a continuance of those wiiich i lay be
presumed to have existed thousands of yea s ago.
He formulizes what old records tell us co icem-
ing the ancient marriage customs ; no i very
distinctly, perliape, but still in such i way
as to show that he approaches very ne u* the
truth. He states that the earliest marria ;es of
savages were first of the " consanguine " order,
(of brothers, sisters, and cousins ;) then Puna-
luan, (from a Polynesian term moaning ' dear
friend,") wiiich describes an improved ru e, un-
der which a group of men married a gr( up of
women, (not consanguine, ) and the con bmed
groups lived togetlier in close marriage inter-
ootirse. like the Hassaget^ described I y He-
rodotus. After this ca'me the marrii ge of
•' pairs," here called " Sandyasmian," in which
man and wife lived together, with lilx rty to
pairt at any time. Next came the patriar hal in
the Hebrew or Turkish way, and Is it the
Monogamian. It was under those " con-
sanguine " and " group " marriages th ht the
family supremacy of women grew into a >ower-
ful ethnic law which endured for age: , and
when it had ceased, left iu traces upon 1 be rc-
■ formed condition of society in the gre tt his-
toric nations. From these traces our e' hnolo-
gists argue by Inference ; and though, as the
witty Lord Halifax, of Queen Anne's tim t, used
to say, " There is nothing so lilcely to cr ick in
stretching as an inference," we may find b large
amount of indirect proof in this arg anent.
This proof oomea from the old gans a ■ elan,

were forbid to nuorr in it,' and obliged to Took
to other gohtss for i wives of husbands. The
prolxibition pointed; to the '*,' consanguine " or
'• group " marriage ctistoms of preceding ages.
Herodotus t*lU ub how the Lvcians counted de-
soent Iji. the female line, ihe Etruscans had
the same ancient law, and held women in high
social respect; while Bachofen, in his Mutter-
rttht, hai quoted the customs of Athenians,
Cretun^, Eajptian-s, Locriaj).i, and several
Asiatic K-."Mion3 to the same effect. In the Tim-
mus of Plato, Socratt-s is made to say that ho rec-
ommended a community of wives and children
for his ideal republic ; and Julius Csesar says
that in Britain groups of men and women were
in the habit of living indiscriminately together.
There is in fact evidence enough to "show that
women once had the social mastery over men,
and also to indicate the reason why.
That *' mother-right" or *' woman-right" is
beyond doubt one of the most remarkaile fea-
tures of all history; and it cannot be entirely
confined to the studies of the archipologists or
the categorj of curious things. It may, iu fact,
have some unsuspected bearings on the legends,
fables, traditions, and folk-lore, not alone of
ancient, but of modem literattire. It may, for
instance, help us to e.xplain the apparition and
story of the Amazons. It may" also suggest
some interpretation of the laughable Couvade,
as practiced among the Basques and certain
tribes of the Caucasus, India, and South
America. It may have some connection with
tho Keltic idea of "fosterage" and the removal
of children from the parental home ; and may
throw sonwi light on the law of Tanistry, uiuler
which the sion of a chieftain's sister usually suc-
ceeded hin , in preference to his own son. It
may, in connection with tho law of prohibition
in the gens, sug^e.'^t the origin of marriage by
" capture," which has been such a feature in the
life of maiiy Asiatic tribes, and also some re-
mote raisim d'etre for the Amazonian body-
guard of (lie King of Dahomey. Certainly, a
system wiiich had endured for so many 'pre-
historic ages must have left many traces on the
lines of h iman progress. But it came to nu
end at last ; and man, ashamed of being nothing
in the family oi- gens, resolved to assert his right
to his property and his children. To this end
the gens w is reformed, marriage within it was
forbidden, I and at the same time men became
more circumspect and rational in the marriage
relations. This gave tfio gens a stronger physi-
cal charac ;er, w^ith a higher and better order of
intellect, is a natural consequence. Such is,
in fact, the condition in whicli it presents itself
at the dawp of authentic history. From that
period— sa^- 1,000 years before our era— the
woman-mastcr>' passed away. The sex became
cabined, cribbed, confined, sent to the back
aparimenfis, and otherwise deprived of their
old liberty, it was a noteworthy revolution,
and greatttr than any the world has witnessed
in the subsequent Jieriods of time.
Following the traces of the geus. phratrv. and
tribe in various parts of the world. Dr. ifur'.ran
gives a ne|v coloring and interest to our Ameri-
can histories of the Iroquois, Aztecs, and other
native racfes. On the subject of the .Me.\ie:ius
he flnda fault, very justly, with the imperfect
and extravagant statements of the Spanish
chroniclers ; yet is able to find indications of the
gens .-uid phratry among the Aztecs. Ami this,
it may be observed, wa.-* natural enough, since tho
latter bora a nameof tribal .siguificancy, vouched
for by tlie Hindoo, Assyrian. Keltic and old
English terms, caste, ki.ssat, host, ccist. all of
which have the meaning of race 'and tribe. On
the ground of Greece, which may be called tho
head-quarters of his nomenclature, he funis
many conflicting testimonie.-*. Some Iiistoriuns
— Grote among them— contend that the early
Hellenes had a system of little kin:rs, while ti)
our authojr the gens and phnitr>- s-eem to. liavo
been puijely democratic. This dispute about
things probably grew from words. The most
democratic gens would have war nnd religion,
and the i names for a king (lMi!iil*:n9 and rejr)
were given both to the war-leaderand the priest.
since those words hu<l the common meaning of
"commander" and "prunouncer."' l>emocracy,
in fa;t. was never without its kings, whether of
the w.'iriike, sacerdotal or "railway" order.
This is aUo suggested by the early his-
tory of ^the lionmus ' and tho eponymous
Komnlus — a story attributed to Pepart-thus. a
wanilerer from .\tlica, (after the time of tho
.Second I'unic War,) who taught langitafies in
Italy, and dressed up the Roman oriijin'-4 in the
Greek style. This clover man was very likely
the originator of a blunder that h.is misled all
the learned since his day. lie estalilishe*! tho
idea tliat the jxility of Kii^ine was arranged by
threes, thus suggesting that the imrner.d wa,s
tlie root of the term triliiis ; a term tliat really
came from the; root lar, which, in aliuust all old
languages, had and has the nieaiiing of
"progeny" and "tribe." That order! iig of tlie
Roman tribes into the Kbamues, the Titles, and
the Luceres owes its oriirin veryevideurly* to a
fiece of Greek paronomasia naturalii'.ed iti
taly — one of the thousand puns that vitiate, in
an unsuspected way. the early records i*( alm»>st
all iiationH. Such a pun has confused the .Aiiirl.e
Saxon history of land-tenure, making tao
" Imndrt'd." which was really the Keltic ritint-nd,
or "ci>iintry -tract.'' to coutain pre-isely one
hundred homesteads.
.\inina the interesting facts l)roui;ht tOErether
in th s'- jiagcs may be noted a few that connect
our .\ iM-ricau abortiriues with some f;u>retuoved
tribes .likhe Old World. csjK-cially in the mat-
ter lit I'efrmj. Tho Kols of India have clafis
named afler animals. Tlie Toiiirouse tribes are
■uamed isi the •Mime way, from horses, deer, doirs.
kf~ Soiare tho Chinese iu many places, tho
Bechuanfis in Africa, and the N'arringeri of
Australia. This (y/trft* fusliiou.was found, and
may still exist, among the Iroqnols. Algonquins,
Cherokees, and most other American races;
and the little word that tiescribes it
was a familiar one among the families
of .-Vsiatics and Kelts, signifying everywhere
" tribe." Tho animal adopted was always rever-
enced and seldom eaten. The ancient Gauls had
their totttti. the cock, a stout military bird,
bearing a name like their own : for the pun has
been In all ages the first principle of heraldry.
The Pranks had theirs — a namesake — the fronk,
or frog, which, among their descendants, has
received a treatment running counter to all rule
of ancientry, those people being for a long time
in the habit of cooking and eating their iotrms.
and thus exhibitingthe irreverent philosophy of
the race and its revolutionary disregard of old
beliefs and traditions.
Dr. Morgan's work is full of suggestion .".nd
instruction, conveyed in an aflluent and ample
style of easy writing. This, while it indicates
tho writer's familiarity with his theme may.
nevertheless, lead some matter-of-fact readers
to wish for what might be termed a simpler and
closer manner of treatment. The subject in-
volves a good deal of generalization and di.s-
cursivetiess, and these are apt to tax the atten-
tion of the too hasty reader — and most readers,
in a very voluminous age like the present, are
apt to live*under the annike jind compulsion of
ho-ste. This makes them rather exacting on
tho occurrence of such works as these it'e-
aeurcliesi and especially desirous of a compre-
hensive index. The book before us would cer-
tainly require an ampler index than that which
has been attached to it. For the rest, it is
broughlj out in what may bo called the best
style of typography, and presents altogether a
very elegant and attractive exterior.
TBS Xh-IONKLLI WILL CASE.
The Rome correspondent of the London
Timea telegraphing on JiUy 26 says : " This morning
the Tribtmal pronounced its decision in favor of tho
plaintiff on the point before the Court in the Anto-
nelli case. It was given in the form of a diffuse sum-
ming-up prepared by the President Cavaliore Pio
TQodrani, and pointed out at length that neither tho
Italian Civil Coda nor the Roman and Canon Law
placed any prohibition on the prvof of
birth by means of personal testimony. In
cases of this kind, consequently, oa ac-
count of the age and inflrmity of the
.\rchpriest Venditti and of Tamburlini, the eldest of
the Cfart^inal's servants, the trihanal ordered their
examination pro jutura riiemoria ,- but held that the
midwife, Gervase, being in cood health, the saaie
grounds for her exar«'.nat ion did not exist. The court
delegated to the Judge Cavaliere Spaziaui the task
of receiving the evidence of tho two witnesses
early in August, ordering at the same time
that their depositions should rem,-iin secret
and in the ctistody of the Chancellor of the Court.
The decision now pronounced does not in point
of law prejudge the t^enentl question of the admlssi-
biflty of oral testimony to be tried m Kovembor; but
from the line of argument laid down in the decision
now given, it may be expected the court will then
accotS the right to eiaimne the 70 witnesses to be
brouehtforward. (ireat admiration was expressed by
members of the Roman Bar in court at the lucidity
and learning displayed in the judgment. The Count's
Antonelli having to produce in court the Cardinal's
will, published in the Times last December, Countess
Labertini has declared her Intention of impounding
it, on the grotmds of forgery and inefficacy.'

In Utah Cacln- and Malade Vallevs were badly in-

crop was repurteil ns devoured by them. The winged
locusts were beginning to tiy June 1 1. These locusts
■will probably mikrrate to Middle and Southern Utah.
Though mlimerims aboiit Farmiu^ton, Utah, on the

past five years she has not been out of her chair,
even to ait upon a couch. Her spine and limbs were
distorted, and stiffened, and she was bent forward

Raisin Free-will Baptist quarterly meeting held its
session with the Church in Macon, commencing Aug.

A MODEST YOUNG LADT.
The Oswego Palladinm describes the nnlucky
adventure of two young women as follows: "Miss
Beebe and Miss Vandyke went swimming in Vander-
camp Fond, town of Constantia, the other day, at-
tired In the thinnest of fabrics. A young lad whom
they knew came along with a boat, and they induced
him to take them in. He put out into the pond, and
tbe girls tiiinklng it was fanny to rock tlie boat, went
at It and tipped her over. "They .sank twice before
help reached them, and then all the clothes were torn
off rrom one of the young women in the effort to save
her. She went down again, and positively refused to
be saved till tbey could get something to put around
her, which was finally accomplished, and she was
hauled out.'
THE ATTRACTIVE YOUNG RAILROAD COM-
PANION.
The Oswego Tunes savs : " A few days ago
Miss Carrie Lynch left Carleton, Vt., for Oswego via
Saratoga. Her baggage consisted of a trunk and
sachel containing her clothes. On the way to Sara-
toga a polite, well-dressed young man took a vacant
Seat beside her and nuide her acquaintance. He was
also coming to Oswego, and would be glad to be of
scr\-ice to her. At Saratoga he took her check and
had her bafac»ge checked to Schenectady. At Schenec-
tady he again obtained the check, and told her ho
would have her baggage rechocked to Oswego, He
left the car, and that was the last she has seen of the
young man or the check. "When she arrived in Os-
wrtfo she found that her trunk and sachel had not
been forwarded here. The young man was probably
a confidence operator, and took possession of her
effects at Schenectady."
HOW A CONDUCTOR GOT HIS TARE.
Tlie MiddletowTi Press pives the following inci-
dent in connection witli the duties of a popular con-
ductor on tbe Erie Railway : .** Conductor James
Tinnoy, on loa'ring Jersey City recently, found a pas-
sencer ou his train, a woman with a baby in her
arms, who refused to pay her fare- Not wishing to
put her off the train between two stations, being too
gallant a man for that, he allowed her to ride to Pat-
erson. At that point the woman got off, and, in as-
sLsting her to al%ht, Conductor Timiey got pos-
session of the baby. He tucked the juvenile under
his ariu, and notified the woman that when she bad
naid her fare she could have tbe baby-, and not Wfore.
The baby began kicking and squalling as Conductor
7^nney started for tho depot. The woman pursned
him. pocket-book in hand, and finally paid her fare,
receiving in return the baby. Ou opening her pocket-
bffok it was seeu that she had plenty of money, and
her conduct, therefor© was inexcusable. The ques-
tion naturally arises, what wonld Mr. Tinney nave
done if the mother bad declined to pay, and walked
off leaving the baby in his possession.
A LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS NOT AFRAID.
The Audubon (Minn.) Journal teUa the fol-
lowing of a little girl, 3 years old, daughter of Frank
Smith, of Pelican,^ Minn., and niece of S. M. Wood-
worth, of Andnbon : " While Mrs. Woodworth was
on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Smith was taken alarm-
ingly ill Mr. Smith was away from home at the
time, and no one near the hoase to render assistance
save Mrs. Woodworth and the child. Mrs. Wood-
worth could not leave, so she called little Angio and
asked her to go to the hotise of a neighbor, three-
quarters of a mile distant, and summon assistance.
The child did as she was, directed in an incredibly
short space of time, and hpon her return with the
neighbor it was found necessary to summon a physi-
cian. It was now ncariy dark, and a storm brewing :
yet this brave little heroine again took tbe road and
went to the nearest neighbor's house, a distance of
one and a fourth miles in the opposite direction from
her first trip, where she tound a man to go for a physi-
cian. Ere her return home the storm had so in-
creased as to render her progress very slow, and the
vivid and constant lightning might well have stricken
terror into the heart of many an older pedestrian ;
yet this 3-year-old child bravely and faithfully per-
formed her mission and returned in safety."
LOLA MONTEZ'S HAIR IN A FIDDLE-BOW.
TheVirgiHia (Nev.) Enterprise contains the
following: "John, Hull Pennville, who passed
through this city a day or two since from Plumas
County, Cal., on his way to Esmeralda County, in
this State, has In his possession a curioas relio-of that
strange and adventurous woman, Lola Montez. Mr.
Pennville is an acoomplifihed vioUnist, and at the
time when Ix)lawa8 residing in Grass Vallev, Cal.,
was in the habit of playing for her in order that she
might practice some new dance of her own invention.
The violinist had a strong passion for making collec-
tions of himian hair, particularly the long tresses of
women. He had several times hinted to Lola his
great desire to possess a tress of her hair, but
she refused to take these bints, however
plaudy made. At this time I#ola had in her posses-
sion at her home In Grass Valley a young bear that
she was training for some purpose, she being at that
time but about 39 years of age, and still full of lif e
and ambition. One day when Pennville again hinted
about the trosa, Lola saX&: ' Mr. Fennvule, if you
will go into that back yard, throw that bear to the
ground and hold him one minute by my watch. I
will give you a strand of mvbair lar^e enough for
the bow of y^ur violin!' 'Done!' cned Pemivillo,
and he at once nroceeded to tbe yard for his tussle
with the bear, Lola following to time him. The bear
was a grizzly, not yet old enough to be very danger-
ous, and Pennville, proceeding as thotigh at plav
with the animal, with ver>* little trouble or risk
succeeded in winning the much-coveted lock of hair.
The tress was promptly surrendered, and Pennville
long kept it among the other specimens in his collec-
tion, but when be heard of Lola's death be remem-
bered her words at the time he won tho memento, ' I
will give j-on a strand large enough for the bow of
your violin,' and placed the hair in the handsomeet
bow he could procure, where it remains to this day.
Pennville Is now quite an old man. and does not ap-
pear to be overburdened with this world's goods, but
it would take a large gmn of money to purchase that
fiddle bow."

FIRST MEETING OP THE PIONEER CO-OPERA-
TIVE SA^/INO FUND AND LOAN ASSOCIA-
TION OP BOSTON — $1,254: SUBSCKIBED
AND $900 LOANED.
JVom the Boston GU>be, Axtg. 7.
About 350 penons, mostly shareholders^ at-
tended the first meeting of the Pioneer Co-operative
Saving Fond and Loan Association at Armory HsU
last evening. Previous to the meetlnjc; the Directors
of the association held a private session in the ante-
room, and at the adjoamment of this meeting
the President of the association, Hon. Josiah
Quincy, annoonccd the flrtt business in order to
be the receipt of cash. This ftunonncement
brought a large number of believers forward,
who took one, two, three, or more shares,
paying down $1 per share. While the subscriptions
we're heing taken Mr. Joseph S. Ropes, Vice-Presi-
dent of the association, made a short ^addres*:, ex-
plaining the object of the corporation, from which it
was learned that the association is designed as a
mutual benefit corporation to aid men in securing
homesteads by dei>ositing a nominal sum ($1 per
share) virith the association monthly, the aggregate
sums of such deposits being put up at auction each
month and sold to the highest bidder who is a share-
holder in the corporation. Hon. Josiah Quincy then
addressed the meeting as follows :
(JENTi-EMES : We are here this evening to org«nizo
the "Pioneer Co-operarive Sa^'ing Fund and l.A»an
Corporation." We commence work ander tho most
gratifying aospices. Our success is secured from
the start. The example of Philadelphia shows con-
clusively what can he done through the method of co-
0]>erati6n. While it has given independent homes in
that city to some 60,000 working men, it has also
proved itself one of tbe safest and most advantageotis
of investments. XjOt me mention two far-ts that
show' its claim on the attention of the peo-
ple of Massachusetts, In the citv of Phibidel-
phia there have been at least $70,000,000 invested
m these associations, while there aje but af>out $14.-
000.000 in all their savings bankP. Think of the
significance of that fact and then turn to another. In
the City of Pliiladelphia there are 4,50 associations
like the one we haye jnst organized, and there has
not, as I am credibly Infonned, been an ultimate
failure in one of them. We think that a system that
affords such testimonials is worth understanding and
worth adopting by the citizens of Massachusetts.
By it tiie working man becomes his own
capitalist. He may have the fulle>t
use of his own money. and if be
wishes to accumnlato for the future he has every
facility for doing so. But to come to the nest busi-
ness of the evening. We have $1.00<J to sell, iu the
language ft the statute. " to such shareholders as de-
sire'to anticipate the idtimato value of their shaiies.
and who shall give security for the prompt and con-
tinued pajTnent of all periodic installments "f dues,
interest, premiums, and fines, until each of the shares
so advanced upon shall be found to be of the ultimate
value of $200." I now invite yonr bids fur this
<:uia or such i»«irtion of it as you mav desire. The
successful bidder will have the priviWire of takin;:
the whole amount or any p.irt of it. Bids must be
njade in sums divisible by 5, and wQl be so much a
snare a month. Let mc illustrate the comlUjons.
that all may underst5vnd them. Supp<jse you wish
to borrow $1,000 ; you must have five shares, whose
ultimate value wUi amount to that sum. You pay
$1 a month on each, share, and $5 a month as
interest «m the loan at G percent.; iu all. $10 a
month. If there. is a premium yoa will pay a per-
centage I'll .it ; should you offer '2o cents a
share, your monthly payment will be ^11 'iiO.
which would be equivalent to paving 7^
per cent, per annum for the loan. If
you bid 50 cents a share, your monthly pay-
ment will be $ili 50. which is equivalent to pay-
ing y per cent, per annum. But remember yonr pro-
portion of all the interest and premiums that are
paid by others, which will materially reduce the in-
terest you nominally pay, and cause the shares to ma-
ture, or become worth ^-00 in about 10 years, which
is erjual to 10 per cent.- per annum ou the amount
of cash invested for tbe average time of its invest-
ment. The successful bidder will at once pay
tlie first months <iues ou his shares to the Secre-
tary, and transfer them as collateral security
for the loan. He then applies for tho loan on
a blank furnished by tlie corjioration. which
will contain a brief description of the real es-
tate he offers for security. Thts. if {satisfactory lo
the Security Committee and to the S'>licitor of tho
corporation, (whoso fee, subject to revL^ion by the
Directors, must be paid by the applicant.) will be
accepted ou a report of the Directors, and the money
will at once be paid. Before bidding, the bidder
should ask himself two questions : First — Is the
security 1 offer such as the committee will probably
accept "( Second — If by purchasing a ho:ise I am
freed from the payment of rents, can I pay my
monthly dnps andiuteresl and the tax on the es-
tate?
At the close of Mr. Qulu'^y's remarks, he offered
the sum of $1,000 at auction. There was a few mo-
ments' silence, when a gentleman asked that" the'
tL-mis be read again, and Mr. Quincy repeated tho
substance of the above. Again was tbe money of -
f ei-od, and James Ferpison. a store porter by occupa-
tion, bid 5 cents per shnrc. and as there was
no competition, he secured $500 at that rate,
that ' being tiie smn he desired. As there
remained $500. that sum -was put up and a bid made
at 5 cents, but Michael O'SuUivan bid lO cents.
and secured $100. This closed the bidding, and the
meeting adjourned. It was claimed by tbe several
speakers that the plan of the ass^oeiat ion was tbe best
means ever offered to men in humble circumstauee-;
to secure homes, as by becoming shareholders in the
corporation they could borrow money from tl
to S per cent, cheaper than they could
from ft savings bank, besides ha\"ing the ben-
efit of the premium on the shares invested ; and
for a man paying a high rent for a residence it was
equally advantageous, as he could pay the monthly
dues o'f the association, his interest on his loan, and
the tales on his house, and then the sum would not
be as great as his rent, and he would be accumulating
something during the whole rime. The association
w%s incorporated in May last, and Was organized
July 2, 18*7, is modeled after the Philadelpliia asso-
ciations, and its Directors and shareholders are very
sanguine of success,
TTTO EXGLISB TRAGEDIES.
A PAIR OF TOVNG MEN WHO DETERMINED
TO RID THEMSELVES OF THEIR MIS-
TRESSES.
Froi/i Vie Londxtn Times, July 27.
Testerday. about midday, an attempt at mtir
der was discovered at No. 27 Cowper-street, Taber-
nacle-walk. J City-road. A lodger there named Relf
heard cries of '* Murder" proceeding from a room on
the first floor, but being unaole to ascend the stairs,
she called In a passing neighbor, a Mrs. Gladding.
The latter ran up stairs toward the room from which
the screams were still contlntiing, and met a young
woman, known there as Mrs. Cuthbertson. stagger-
ing from tbe room. She had a number of wounds
all over the bead, and was immediatelv re-
moved to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. From
the hospital the Police received .the first
information of the nmrderous attack, but
within a short time the woman had become
insensible from exhatistion and could give no in-
formation. Tbe •'hasband"of the injured woman
was speedily in the hands of the Police. When told
the cbanre, he only said. "I did it." He gave Ms
name as William Henry Cnthbertson, and that of the
injured woman as Eliza Newcombe. admitting that
they were not married, but had lived together since
Christmas last. The weapon used bv him was a
hea^T chopper. The woman's head is a mass of
wounds, nispector Maynard, who has charge of the
case, found the chopper marked with blood
and ha«r, and the nncarpeted fioor of the
room bore plain evidences of the d^isperate
blows aimed at the woman. It wonld appear that
tbe woman was attacked from l^hiiid while
sitting on a bedstead nurslug a baby, a child she was
keeping. She must then have fallen on the floor, and
while down the first blow was followed by se\-eral
others, the flooring being dented by the ase and por-
tions of hair being cfiopped into the boards and
Severed from the head as the blows strnck. The
prisoner appears little more than a youth, thouj^ his
age is given as 23. By occupation he is a barber's
assistant. The injured woman is only 1 9 years of
age. It is thought she cinnot recover. From inquiry
made by Inspector Maynard at a late hour in the
evening^ at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, it was ascer-
tained that the young woman had returned to cou-
ficioufoiess after some nours.
Tiie Di-dgelly magistrates were yesterday engaged
for several hours in bearing a charge of murder pre-
ferred against Cadwallader Jones, a farmer, living at
Park, near Dolgellv. Sarah Hnghes, the murdered
w«raan, left Dolgelly for her home at Brithir about
9 o'clock ou tbe night of the 4th of June, and was
never seen aliv© again. On the IGth iust, the dLv
cover>* of a human hand in the river led to a search
being'made, and 11 pieces of a human body were
found in tbo river, na\-ing evidently been thrown
there in the expectation that they would be taken
out to sea by the flood. Suspicion fell npon the pris
oner, by whoso fatlier the deceased was employed-
and on the 1 -Sth his house was searched by tbe Police.
^Vhile the search was priweeding tbe prisoner told
Inspector Jones it was useless to take any trouble,
as ho was the guilty man— that he alone did it.
Being cautioned, he took the officers to a cow-hotise,
where an axe, a bill-hook, and chopplng-block were
found in a hole seven feet wide and three feet deep,
and where portions ^f a woman's hair and two
buttons corresponding with those on the jacket worn
by the murdered woman were discovered. The
medical evidence showed that death resulted from a
very severe fracture on th© left side of the skull,
caused by a blunt, heavy inMroment. The prisoner
is very 'respectably connected, and was married
last November. He and the murdered woman, who
was about to give birth to a third illegitimate child,
were known to be on very intimate terms, and it it
stated tbat she threatened him with an action for
breadb of promise.

WHO ''BVCKINGMAM'' PROVES TO BE.
T!CH£ SWINBLEB RECOGNIZED AS OHAITNCET
JOHNSON, A KOTOBIOUS BANK BOBBEH —
HE ACKNOWLEDGES HIS IDENTITY-
SKETCH OF HIS CAREEB.
The swindler, '* T. Buckingham," who was
arrested oa Friday by Detectives Dazm and Woolsey,
far attempting to defirand the Bank of the
State oC Xew-York by drawing $4,848 against
' a forged check for $5,548 78 which he had
previously deposited, was taken to the Tombs
Police Court from the Central Office yester-
day afternoon. Justice Smith held him in $10,000
to answer. At the time the arrest was made Betec-
tive Woolsey recognized "Buckingham" astheno-
- tozioas bank robber and sneak thief, Chauncey John-
son. He said nothing about his discovery, however,
until after the prUoner had been committed. ^Vhen
he and Donn were parting with " Backin|;ham " at
the door of the Tombs Prison, Woolsey said : '* Well,
good-bye, Chaunce." ''Buckingham" turned quickly
and replied: "Well, Woolaey, you settled me once
biefore. and I guess you have got me dead this time.'
. Cliaunt-ey Johnson, alias " T. Buckingham,"
although a younc looking man, has followed criminal
pursuits for nearly 30 years. He first became
tnown to the Police in 1850 or 1S51, when
lie stole $37,000 from the same hmk which he
attempted to defraud on Friday. This feat he ac-
complished tl^ngh his skill as a sneak. The man-
u*-i- lit lus arrest at that time was very peculiar.
■ Af rt-r procuring the money from^the bank he went to
It .:trnViiug place called "The Arbor," which was
tld-n "n Broadway, near the old Broadway Theatre.
* lie U a reckless gambler, and his play on that oc-
^.•^ii-'ii attracted the attention of the other persons in
ti o .iloun. Among them wer» Yankee Sullivan, the
pr.^ list, nnd old Joe Keefe, the detective. Sullivan
t' 'ted Keefe-'s attention to the fact that Johnson
. »'- .led to have none but bills of the denomination
*\ iiiO{*. Keo^fe knew Johnson by sight, and had
^ir^v.oualy suspected him of being what dete^-tives
f. U "on the cross." He determraed to. inquire into
t'l*.* c.-iuso of J.obnson's remarkable display
of Wf.ilth, and going over to . Channcey
he Mid in an undertone, "I want my rake,*' which
impUcd to Johnson that he knew his money bad
Ifeen procured dishonestly and he wanted some
. •'Inish money." The gambler recognized him. and
jx'plied : '■ All right, I'll eive you your rake." Keefe
tuen in\-ited him to leave the pamiue-table. and took
hUn to the station-house of the Fifteentli Precinct, of
which the present Inspector IHlks was then Captain.
He there locked him up on suspicion of havinc com-
mitted a felony. Johnson was recognized the next
^ay as a person w!io had been seen in the Wall-
street Bank before it was rf>bbed, and sufficient eW-
dence wa.s pro«-nred to send him to State Prison for
five years. Upon bein^ released from imprison-
ment ho became a professional pambler, but, appa-
-^ jently he did not .succeed in the profession, for he ro-
prnftrd the practice of theft.
His next offense was a burplary in the Third Pre-
jirtECt. Officer John Hamblin arrested him in the net.
Tind he w.ns convicted and Reuteneed to State Prisou.
• Tpon being released he went to Philadelphia, where
Jie Ln>rr.iiiitteda btirglary. for which he seer\'e*l a terra
in Movamensing Prison. He robbed the safe
e-t the Fifth-Aveuae Hotel in 1S71. For that he
v.-ns sentenced to imprisonment for ore year. In
1*^73. he, Peter Lamb, alias "Dutch Pete," and Theo-
r.ore Wiley, robbed a till in Thirteenth-street and
T'niveTsity-place. He and Lamb were arrested andsen-
lenced to imprisonment for three veara. Johnson
l-^^Tiftimca associated ^th Henry Neumann, alias
"Dutch Heinirich ;" Peter I>amb, ailas " Dutch
Pete ;" and The. Wiley ; but he usually preferred to
woric i^oue- He is one of the most expert sneak
Ihlwee in the United States. Upon bis relea.-*e
'from StatePrison a year ago. he became a How-
«*ry "layfigure" and a trequeuterof the '■skin"Eame
of faro ill a saloon on the Bowery. His ventures at
. the lic miTiK-ta'nle appear never to have restilted l»ene-
J'tcially to hini. and at times since his la-st release
from prison he \vj^ been in a very seedy condition as
to rlotSiu^. The detectives do not know that he is a
married man. bnt yesterday afternoon as thev were
lakins Johnson alias Bnckinsham, out of the Central
4 >fde».-. the prisoner was slopped by a stout, middle-
aeed woman whom he did not appear pleased to see.
He talked witii her petulantly for a few minutes and
then walked away. She told the officers that she was
*">Irs. Buekineham." and that she had come from
youghkeepsie to see her husband in his trouble.
. GOOD WORK BY CAPT. FOLEY.
jEOW A PHILADELPHIA FIRM WAS SWIKDLFJ>
I — THE Ct'LPRITS ARRESTED A>'D THE
GOODS HJEXTIHED.
Aho^it t A'o wetk.s a^o. Central Office detectives
srreitfed two Jewi^vh tailors, Marks tireenbaum and
Abraham Uamett; on suspicion of havinz received
the material ff>T i:i5 overcoats, valued at ."^OO, from
1 iSimon Bameli, of Philadelphia, to whom the gtjods
^had been intnist*d for makitig up by Messrs. Hananer,
Cohen & Cv.. of Philadelphia, on July 10. Owing to
^the mea;rre rhaiau-tor of the evidence against them,
^Justice V->.inlelJ. l»efore whom tho prisoners were
arraigned, at Jefferson Markut Polire Court, on July
tl3. di.schar2tKl ihi-ni. It was reser\'ea for Capt.
Foley, of tbi" Tenth l*rerinct, to rearrest the men on
the .s'tryngth rrf indi iput-able evidence of truilt, and to
recover the pn^terty passed to them by Simon H.ir-
nett. The latt#*r shipiK-tl the goods to this City ap-
parently ficcording to a prearranged plan between
l:imst-!f' and the prisoners. Tlip material
■was iran.^tported as ordinarj' baiKTUte in five
trunks and two box^s. addressed to ■ K. G^e^n." It
is alletred tbnt Uretanhaum and .\braham Harriett
rlaiined the trunks at the Pennsylvania ltallru.id
Depot, Pier No. :j;» North River, on July 'J9. after
their discb trice from custody ; that they hired .\lfr»*d
U. .Smith, a namiaii. of Nt>. '2iH) Spring street, to de-
liver two of the trunks at No. 433 West Thirty-
ninth-streel, and that another jwrtion of
tho goods w;is reratrt'ed to the residence
of Bamett. No. 'S3S Division-street. The
transact ii^>ns of the men were broiujht to the
jiotire of Capt. Pidey by a man who suid that Bar-
nett h."»d offt-red to j*ell him some of the trimiiiinKs.
The Captain immediately interested himself in work-
iTig up the c.'Lse. Hft' proceeded to the residence of
Bamett and arrested him. In the aitting-room he
found a iMi^-katre of trinimtuBrs. and on the person of
the pri.soner letters direct* 'd to liim from his niece, who
is Greenbaum's wife, directing him how to disx>oBe
of the ^oods. From the jcontents of tho letters the
Captain also leamwl th«» whereabouts of the re-
mainder of the c'^da. He recovered them and re-
arrested <irecnbanm. Mr. Hanauer. the leading
member of the victimized fino, subsequently came
here and iiU-ililii-d the ijoods as tne projierty in-
truBied to .SIiiH.u Bamett. The prLsoniTs were ar-
T>iii;n<>d m Es-t-x Market Police jCourt y<*sterday lie-
j'oro Hu.'^tice Kilbretli, who held thc-m in $1,000 each
to answer.
Capt. Foley has evidence that these persons robbed
two other finrnt in Philadelphia in a similar way, but
he ha.s not yet succeeded in recoverinc the proceeds
nf the transaction. He believes that the accuse<!.
niiJed by their aa'omplices. have successfully pursued
tiuir nefarious business for a long time.
" TTTEKING A FORGED CBECE.
Jol^H. Holtze, of No. 125 Cannon-street,
•nlered the Bank of the Metropolis yeeterday and
presented for payment a check for ^^^25, purporting
to have l>een drawn by Mr. William H. Hurlbert, the
editor of the Xeu^-Tork T^orld, in favor of M. A. Mer-
TiU & Co. It bore what appeared to be indorsements
hy Jlerritt & Co., M. A. Moore, and Mr. Hurlbert.
3Ir, E. C. Evans, tho Paying Teller of the bank, not
liking the apjwarance of Holtze refused to pay him
the' money called for by the check unless he was
identified, and he left Ihe banlE. A short
time Uiter he returned and asked Mr. Evans to cer-
tify the checlt. The latter then compared the sii^a-
tttre of the check with the signature of Mr. Hurlbert
on tho bfjoks of the bank, and found that they dif-
fered in a slight deirree. He therefore called Officer
Tyler, of the Broadwav squad, and procured the ar-
rant of Holtze. trpon Wing arraigned before Justice
Wimdell, in the Jefferson Market Police Court,
Holtze fiaid the chock was eiven him by a person he
did not kiiow. With instructions to procure the money
on it. Mr. Hurlbert declared the check aforper>',
but was astoni.shed that hia staiature could have
been bo cl'^sely imitated. He said he had never seen
Holtze before. The prisoner was held in $2,000
liriil for trial In the Court of General Sessions. It is
suspected that the foritery was comniitted by some
pers<m having a knowledge of Mr. Hniiberta busi-
ness, who gave the check to Holtze to have it cashed.
PRESEA^Tjya FORGED LETTERS.
While the weekly services were in progress at
ihe Greenville (N. J.) Reformed Church on Friday

Ijearer, John Lourton. was a member of his church
in cood standing, asked one of the members for
his indtience in obtaining assistance, as he w^is in
need- Tlie member of whom he made the re-
quest had his suspicions aroused, and telling
ihe stranger to wait until the meeting of tho con-
BJstory at the close of the services, gtdetly sent
word to ti*e station-house. Of&cer McHomey was

THE ** BEER" QUESTIOK DECIDED IN PAVOK
OF TEE LIQUOa-DEAI«EBS — THE POLICE
TO ACT WITH MORE DIBCBETIOM IN THE
FtJTUBE — WHO IS ENTITLED TO A HOTEL
UCEl^SE NOT TET SETTLED— LIQUOE-
DEAXEBS m COURT.
The long-eipect«d decision of Justice Smith
in the case of William H. Mtmday ^lalnst George W.
Morton^ t)wen Mnrphy, and Jacob W. Patterson,
Excise Comojissloners, which has been anx-
iously awaited by the liquor-dealers, was
rendered yesterday at the Tombs Police Court.
Contrary ' to general expectation the de-
cision was not an elaborate one. It merely
stated, " Complaint dismissed ; prisoners discharged."
The complaint was that on the Ist day of Septem-
ber, 1876, Koster & Bial, proprietors of a saloon in
the basement of the Tribune Building, were granted
a license! by the Commissioners to sell on the prem*
laes ale and Deer in quantities lees than
five galllins, to be drank on the premises,
which the complainant states to be in direct viola*
tion of the laws of 1857 relating to the sale of beer.
The deciuon is a signal triumph for the Hqnor-deal-
ers. In dismissing the complaint against the Excise
Commissioners, Justice Smith recognizes the legality
of the granting of licenses for the sale of ale and beer,
Independent of the hotel provision of the law of 1857.
The disposition of the test case agtanst the board,
taken in connection with the instructions of Superin-
tendent Walling to the Police Captains and Sergeants
on Friday, virtually decides some of the most im-
portant issues of the contest in favor of the liquor-
dealers. The Board of Excise need no longer hesitate
over the consideration of the many applicadons for
ale and | beer licenses ireceived during the past
two mcjnths. A spirit of moderation, to
which the more radical of the temperance
crusaders will doubtless take umbrage, will hereafter
charactetjize the procedure of the Police in the matter
of arrests. The commanders of precincts have been
specifically ordered not to make arrests of respectable
dealers after court hours, and the " receipts " will be
respected to an extent wnich the holders r^ard as
reasonable. There will be no relenting, however, to-
ward those who have never manifested a tendency to
comply with the law.
In dealing with this class accordlog to tho re-
auirements of the statutes so far as relates to the
uties of the force, and in closing the nnmerotis
■■ concert ealopns " and other places of ill-repute
where liquors are sold, notwithstanding the refusal
of the Excise Board to license them, the Captains
will Ktill|flnd eiiough to do for the members-of their
respective command't. The unlawful existence of
such places is in itself a sure indication ,that the
Police have neglected their duty. The members of
the Excise Board positively assert that they have tin-
besitatinglv denied licenses to pbices the character
of whoste Wsiness had been questioned. And yet,
the immber of snrh resorts have not perceptibly di-
minished, except perhaps in the immediate neif^hbor
hood of the Police Central Office. Even that district
has not been thoroughly cleansed. Within a stone's
throw of Head.quarters exist dens, in which preco-
cious yotmg thieves gather nightly with abandoned
female Cjompanions.
Business at the oflRces of the Excise Department
yesterday was rather dull as compared with the
transactions of tho early part of the week. Seventy-
two applications and $3,170 in fees were received
iluring the d«v. A grand total of 1.620 applications
and $S0.809 7.5 were the receipts during the
entire weeik. ^ No licenses were granted yes-
terday, o.wing to the fiict that the Com-
missioners were busily engaged in arranging
the papers of applicants whose clums for licenses will
be investigated and passed upon at a session of the
board to-morrow. A large number of dealers who
have paid their fees have, however, failed to file the
necessary bonds. Until this is attended to their ap-
plications cannot be considered. Thus far. onlv fiOO
t>nt of 3.3.'>^t applicants have complied with th{s reg-
ulation.j Puring the six days ending yesterday
morning. !lhe arrests for violation of the law were:
Sundav, 103; Monday, 83; Tuesday, 24S; Wednes-
dav, ibp |; Thursday, ><5. and Friday. 58.
Tlie question os to what class of liquor-dealers is
entitle^^ to hotel licenses authorizing the sale of wines
and lifitiors is now the chief subject of controversy.
The roajjority of the ordinary dealers confidently be-
lieve that by furnishing their premises with three
beds thej* are compl>-ing with the requirements of
the law. The Exciite Cummissioners are not, they
Ray, disposed to \-iew the matter in that light. They
do not t^m to think that a hquor saloon furnished
with three beds constitutes a hotel, where all the
wants of those seeking hotel accommo<lalton can be
supplied. ! If they l&dhere to this opinion, and discrim-
inate accordingly in the granting of licenses, "f&e
great Kjccise muddle will be as far from settlement

A GANG OF SNEAK THIEVES ARRESTED.
For several weeks a party of thieves have
been reaping a rich harvest by robbing the residences
of physicians and other professional men. It has
been their practfce to watch a house until its
owner; had gone away, and then to obtain an
entrance upcpn some pretext, and afterward to di-
vert the attention of the servants long enough
to enable . them to steal some valuable and
depart with It. Numerous complaints have been
made to Superintendent Walling, and to Sergt.
Kealyj of the Detective Squad, but nothing could be
done by the officers for the reason that no adequate
descriptions of the thieves cotdd be procured. Yester-
dajr afternoon, however, Sergt. Kealy was given de-
scriptions of two of the operators, and he Inatructed
DeU^ctives Bilks and Handy to look for the fellows.
Shortly after 6 o'clock they found the
men they sought, ut the comer of Broadway and
Bleecker-street. They arrested and took them to
the Central Office, where they gave their names as
Charles Hampton and George De Cam. Hampton Is
known to have the <uias of Harding, and
De Cam that of Anderson. Upon the
persons of the prisoners were fotmd 67
tickets for articles pawned in 22 pawn-shops. After
locking the two men up the detectives went to their
residence. No. 35 Second-street, where they found
a large amount of property supposed to have been
stolen. While they were seachmg the apartments
William Hampton entered. Upon seeing the officers
he attempted to leave the hoilse. He was appre-
hended, however, and taken to the Central Office,
where he was locked tip with his confederates. Up
to mi,dnight about $3,000 worth of stolen property
bad been found by the detectives and taken charge
of to await identification. The persons who have
suffered most severely from the operations of the
thieves are Dr. Perry, of No. 139 West Thirty-

I THE RECENT HURRICANE.
The fierce wind which visited Coney Island
on Friday evening did more damage, it seems, than
was at first rleported. The immense cai>shed of the
New-Tork tind Sea Beach Railroad was ttimed up-
side down, and an empty stage-coach was npset and
carried 15 prf 20 feet. At Norton's Pavilion about
houses, valued at $1,500, were torn
es, many of them being carried out to
Half-Way House and Point Comfort
lathing-houscs were destroyed, and at
other place^ pn the beach 122 are reported as having
been swept jsway. Seventy-five houses, near the
Bath ana ' Coney liland Railroad Depot, were
blown from jposition, but not material' v damaged.
Cable's JIoUlI lost $200 worth of glasi^ware which
was blown ifrom the tables. Feltman's Pavilion was
damaged to the extent of $1,000 by having pieces of
the roof topi off. At Bath windows were shattered,
and tree^ uprooted, and at Locust Grove small exaf,
at anchor in ihe bay were driven aground and much
damoged. t^he storm made things very lively at
Rockaway Bleach for a short rime. It was accom-
panied by a heavy wind-squall, which lifted clouds of
' sand high into; the air, whence tt defended In

The Henderson-street crossing of the Penn-
sylvania i Railroad, in Jersey City, was last night the
scene of' a horrible accident. As one of the track-
men was passing up the road about 10:30 he sttmi-
bled over something in the dark, and was horrified,
on throwing tho rays of his lantern on the object, to
find It was the headless body of a woman, who had
evidently been killed by the Philadelphia express,
which arrived at 10:10. He at once gave the caarm,
and the woman's head was found near by, the eyes
and mouth open, ana presenting a ghastly sight. It"
is 8upj>osed that in crossing the track in front of the
inroniing train she was struck by the locomotive,
which must have dragged the body to where it was
fomid, a distance of 30 feet, and serering the head
in its passage. The victim was evidently an old
woman, but there was nothing about her clothing by
which she eotdd be identified. Coroner Oaimon took
charge of the remains, and will institute a thorough
examination.

EOW SHf* ROBBED AKOTHEK LITTLE OIBL
ON THE j OOKZT ISLAND B£ACH AND BAII-
BOOZLED A POLICKMAN IN NEW-YOBK.
While patrolling Ms post about 2 o'clock on
Friday morning, Officer Kush, of the Seventh Pre-
cbict, foond a UtUe girl wandering in an aimless hut
independent fashion. He questioned her, and she
said her name |was Mary Fagan and she was 7 years
old. As she did not know where she was,
the offl(*er j tool: her to tho station-house.
There she j said that her parents lived In
Newark, hut the street she could not remember. On
Thoisday afternoon, she said, her mother took her to
Coney Island, I where, in the crowd, the two became
separated. S^e endeavored to get back to Newark,
but, by mistake, took the boat for New- York. She
said she had aoi aunt living here, and, she believed, in
the lower part of the City. The Police looked all
through the lower precincts for a woman bearing the
name that Mary gave as her aunt's. They were UMUC-
cessfulintheijr search, so Marywassent to thecdreof
Matron Webb, In Police Head-quarters. On Bnday
afternoon Mrs. Webb went out upon some business,
leaving herwpartments in the care of her daughter.
Ehiring her absence Mary Fagan induced Miss Webb
to go and look for a book for her to read. When
she left the room the precocious little ^1
?ut oiT her own hat and shawl and ran down stairs,
'he policeman at the door stopped her. and she said
that Mrs. Webb had sent her on an errand. WhDe
the officer was debating whether or not to let her go
out, she exclaimed : " Oh ! I forgot to ask Mrs.
Webb something !" Then she turned and ran up
stairs. Aftqr a short delay she returned,
and the omcer, believing all was .right, let
her go inio the street. A few -minutes
later MiasI Webb announced that little
Mary Fagan ^ras a runaway. Yesterday afternoon
Mr. Lunbusson, of Lord & Tavlor's, on Grand-street,
called upon Superintendent Walling and informed
him that while his little daughter was playing on the
beach at, Coney Island on Thursday afternoon, she
was attacked by a girl, who beot her and stole her hat,
shawl, and gold orooch. While he was talking
to the St perintendent an officer of the
Fourth Precinct arrived at Police Head-
quarters witi the astute little Mary Fagan, whom he
had found windering on his post. As soon as Mr.
Lunbusson saw her he recoKuized the hat. shawl, and
brooch she wore as the articles that hod been stolen
from his daughter on Thursday. Mary made no de-
fense ; ahe ^^y cried and refused to speak. She
was locked up, and now. clever little girl as she Is,

positors close their accotints either to pev up their
mortgaces or to lend their money at 7 per cent.
They declare also that banks are glad to get rid of
money which they cannot use. and say that the bank

building which has been erected they say it is the
rhenpest that has been built in 20 year*, and that it

Cincinnati, Ohio, Aiig. 12.— The c^-
vention of working men which nominate( a
State ticket yesterday was not composed
delegates representing constituents through >ut
the State, but only a few sections of organ za-
tion representatives were present. The wh ole
number of delegates was about 100, the maj' iri-
ty of whom were froni this city. The convfen.
tion was well-behaved, calm, and earnest in fits
manner, and was troubled with only one dan-
gerously wild speaker. H|s theories were not
approved by the majority, and counter-theomes
were at once promulgated its an antidote. 'Bhe
temper of the convention was decidedly pp-
posed to lawlessness and in favor of seek-
ing redress for evils affecting workinar ineu
by what they deem wise leglslatlen.
Peter H. Clark, Chairman of the Committeeton
Resolutions, is a leading colored Republicaniin
this part of the State. He made himself proiii-
nent on the side of the working men in Jlio
time of the railroad strike, declaring himsemin
favor of \fie Government taking posses.siod of
the railroads and telegraphs. He reiteraies
this idea in the platform, ■with other stmBar
ones. A singular point in the platformlis
the demand for the repeal of all laws
against conspiracy. Clark has now flAn-
ly planted himself with this movement,
accepting a place on i the ticket. He
has acknowledged ability, but the extent of his
influence with his race is nht great When the
day of the election comes [the general impBe-s-
sion here is that the .working men's movement
will draw about equally {rom both the Deiiio-
crats and Republicans, but ]it is also thought he
vote will be larger than last Spring. A picnic
was held to-day to gather! funds for campaign
purposes. It called out ^bout 3,000 peorile,
and the receipts were $1,000.

Clevel.a>.-d, Ohio. Aug. 1 2. — R. M. Bishij p,
the Democratic candidate for Governor, is lin
the city, and this afternoon attended the nje-
morial .services in . honor of R. R. Sloan, late
President of the Ohio Chri-'tian Missioniry
Society. Bishop formerly occupied this position,
while the deceased served as Correspondmg
Secretary. He made a short speech, the first
since his nomination. He donned his glasses
and reatl in a hesitating, sqieaky voice the few
pages of foolscap which he had prepared, a|id
the general impression made was c^ie
of disappointment at his appearance. He de-
nies with vigor the report of the Cincinnkti
Etiquirfr that the committee at Put-in-Bay. bn
Saturday last, were dis.satisfied becau.se hedges
not furnish money for campaign purposes, as toe
promised before the nomination. He says that
he remonstrated with the Knqtiirer reporter for
seizing upon an unfounded rumor without tak-
ing any pains to ascertain its truth. The pu^i-
cation of lies about its candidate for Govemi
by the leading Democratic Ipaper of the Si
does not present a hopeful prospect for the

Chicaoo, Aug. 12.— pne of the nidst
serious disa.sters that has occurred on the lake
off this city for a long period, was the capsizi ag
and sinking of the yacht Pamlico to-day, a ad
the loss of four lives. The , sad occurrence v as
noticed by a number of persons who were fish-
ing or strolling on the Gt)vemment Pier, a id
the little vessel sank so soon after capsizing that
human aid proved of no avail. The yacht v as
about one mile off the pier and making for t he
crib, when a strong and very sudden puff lof
wind struck her and sent her over in a twit Ik-
ling. The alarm was I at once givsn
by those who had witnessed the disaster, aid
the^tug William Richards steamed out to t lie
spot, but she was too late to render any assfet-
ance. Three hat.** and a| small locker" w^re
found floating on the water, and were -piclded
up. It appears that there were four persons bn
the yacht when she wentldown — .John Hay >s,
the owner, and three friends, two of whom ware
boys. Their names have rnot -yet been ascfer-
tai'ned. The yacht sank in about 80 feet of

Beading, Penn., Angi 12. — The villai
of Shartlesville, on the Berks and Lehigh
Railroad, ■was thrown into an unusual commo-
tion yesterday by a liold and successful robbery
perpetrated in broad daylight. A daughter [of
Mr. Joseph Foose, while engaged in kneading
dough, her parents being at>sent, was ap-
proached by a man whose face "was cojni-
pletely disguised with a handkerchief.
He playfully extended his himds to her,
which she innocently took, hyieving that
he was a friend and would Instantly reveal him-
self. He grasped her firmly, when an accom-
plice appeared, pinioned her hands behind ner
back, and tied her feet. One of the thieves
then placed a revolver at her temple, and
threatened to shoot if she made any outcty.
The other thief ransacked the house, and suc-
ceeded in securing money, pewelry, and a lotjot
clothing. They escaped with their booty and
have not yet been arrested, | \

tect the liberty of Constantinople and the Dan- '
ube, and t^U never consent to tne establishment
of Russian influence on the right bank of that
river, or permit the formation of a great Slav
state on ner southern frontier. The <^act that
Russia wants to respect these conditions
is a guarantee of peace between Russia and
Austria, and h» an assurance that the settlement
of Eastern affairs will be conformable with
Austrian interest'.

Varna, Thursday, July 19, 1877.
The disinclinatioii of the military authori-
ties to receive and give facilities becomes more
apparent every day to correspondents. It
amounts in the' case of some of the Generals to
positive incivility. A few days ^o our mili-
tary attach^, CoL Lennox, a soldier bearing the
Victoria Cross on his breast, was rudely sent
out of the camp by Ahmed Eyoub Pasha, and
his request for an interview -with the Marshal
was met with a flat refusal; half an hour was
given him to clear out The Colonel has now
left for the Balkans to join Raonf Pasha, where
he will, without doubt, have a very much better
reception. The old Marshal becomes every day
more omsty — as for a newspaper correspondent
being aUowed in his camp, the very ides is
absurd. Disappointment is the prime mover of
this change ; LliJss of ground daily ■without being
able to give battts to the enemy has embittered
these people, aauJL those who would offer advice
and aid are considered as offering insult Atro-
cities, I deeply regret to say, are becoming the
order of tiie jlay. Oiily yesterday six Turkish
women and children were brought down to
Shumla from Sasgrad. One woman, aged 70,
was riddled with balls ; four were in her body.
The otbers wore wounded by lance thrusts, the
children badly so, and all the wounds were be-
hind, fully proving they had been flying from
the brutal Cossacks. At the time I write, the
Bnasian Qo-fwunent i< ia toU .ODenUon at

seven hours' distance. Mr. Belotterwirtz, a
man I know well, is appointed Civil and ^lilitary
Governor pro temi at Ktistendje, a municipality:
has been f onned, Poliee< petrol the streets, and
affairs go on as though ^thing had happened.
At a very eaijly Bate I told you what I saw at
Bucharest, and every word I said on the subject
has been litetsdly Iveriil^ Her T^jesty's gun-
boat steamedl intd tUp harbor last night, bring-
ing, among jothers, ihe English and French
Consuls at Ktistendje and the railway manager.
Their places are vacant, as their credentials are
to the Turkish Go'vemment a Government ex-
isting no longer at that place, so the Consuls
get papers in order,
of Eustendje was a very
tame affair. The a)ithoritie.s, civil and military,
had evacuateo ttie place some days before and
reported themselves at Varna, where they ar-
rived by steamer. | The town in the meantime
■was kept in sodie bind of order bf the sailors of
the British giin-boat Some one, I beliex'e the
Director of the railway, sugge.*^ted to a few of
the notables <^[\ the place the idea to go to Med-
jidje. 20 miles away, and invite the Russians
to come in, H'ne suggestion was' accepted, and
away steamed an engine for the Rus.sian camp.
The reception was very cordial, or. I prefer
to say courtepus, and about 200 men were
sent in. The railway Director jiskt-d if
the oommandant would require the line, and
received a polite answer to the eit'ect that thev
would not use' it at all, .and left at once en
route for England. The English Con.siU left
simply because! the Russians informed him that
henceforth noi vessel would be permitted to
entefcfli leave ^he port, and therefore his rescbi
lution to quit was wise and dignified. Before
therRapid left Count Orloff and Gen. Zimmer-
mann, of the [Russian forces, dined on hoard.
The British officers returned the visit, and that
is all I have to pay about the change of Govern-
ment Kusten^je is between seven and eight
hours away t'ljom here by sea. The Rapid does
it in six hours and a half. The distance by
road is IS hoi{n|s. At Kustendje the Kus.iians
are. At Ba',:a{rajik, eight hours from here, the
Russians are also. The Egyptians .ire out after
them, and siiice their departure we have no
news. I understand, from people who ■visited
the Russian camp the other day. that tbe Rus-
sians are veryj uneasy at the continued in.iction
of the Turks. J 'They do not know what it means,
and fancy thire is something hanging over
their heads. W to-night or to-morrow morning
we should sebjalny signs of Egyptians returning.
we mu.st conclujde ithere has bocn a bru&h, and
the Russians 1 1 ave had the best ot it. and in
that case I see un awful panic, a^ Vama is full.
and perhaps we shall have laasiiacres, as it is u.
most fanatical ;)lace, not^withstanfiiTi^ its l>f:ng
a seaport Tilt European residents— man wh-j
have never seen Europe — are even more fanati-
cal than the M liisulmans. As they wtra in
1853. so they low are — vepetated. 'until they
have become as tbe place itself — dull and drear\-
and mi.seratilH. At many times during past
years the projeit of a port has been mooted, the
money found, ind everything in perfect order,
but always at t]ie la:^t moment the Varna peo-
ple have managed to stifle tbe a:fair. and their
only reason ^s that they, beinc possessors of
magazines in which to store grain arriving fr(-m
the interior, W(uld lose by the affair, as the
grain would thm be shipped at once, and the
rental of the migazines would be seen no more.
Thev dannot ui derstand that the reverse would
be the cane ; nc idea have they except to grub
on in their owm miserable way*. Apropos of this
petty exclusive: less. As.sim Pa^iha, now 5Iinist*;r
of Justice, but If ormerlj" Governor-Genera here,
told me a preiitV little story of the way in v h'.'h
he treated a similar matter when Goven r if
Smyrna. There was a project of construcLing
a quay wall there, but it was very stron:?ly op
posed, the foremost of the obstructors bemg al-
ways the Caiquiedjes of the place. Governor
after Governor endeavored to launch the pro-
ject, but all i™;e obliged to (|uail before the
persistent orifosition of toe CaSqnedjes.
At last loime As.sim Pasha. and
he ordered i the works to commence.
Kg sooner wab Ihis known in to^wn than the cor-
poration boathien &uinmoned all their men u.id
went in a bodjijto the Kon.ik or Government-
house. You are all aware that here ii«sa«^sina-
tion is one of the most formidable arguments
used by men petitionincr for the maintenancn of
their rights, and thnt even Governors in Turkey
are not proof against threats of personal vie
lence. but A.'wira held firm ; he asked ihe chief
ot the corporation what his reasons were, and
on being told the men had embarked their little
capital in their boats and were afraid they would
lose the only means they had of living, he put
another question to them. "Are you nfniid of
work!'' As ouo man they replied. •*Xo.'' The
Pasha gave thein a conces-^ n or monopoly to act
as porters after the comp.i lOn of the quay wall.
The thing answered well beyond all expt-rta-
tion ; the Wall was made, shipping increased,
and during the first year the boatmen gained
more than m any three previous ye.irs. More
Turks of this stamp, and Turkey would scKin be
well on her way to greAtucss. .\n otBcial told
me to-day that ^he number of refugees passed
throngh Vama Since the beginning of the panic
amounts to 60,000 heads of families ; add to
this number a fair proportion of women
and children. ' and you w-ill have say a
minimum of 150,000 homeless wanderers.
ViTho is responsible lor this and for the route
they are all taking 1 We will go into that ques-
tion presently. Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis
folly to be wise, is a saying holding good in the
present case. A whole country emptying itself
and fleeing from the Russians o'n the Dobrudscha
to meet them at Adrianople. At this latter
place they imagine themselves in safety, and no
one warns them of the true state of the case.
I have asked the Tartar and the. Georgian why
he flies in the face of the Emperor Alexander's
proclamation, and my answer has invariably
been that although the Russians at first are fair
and generous, they in a very few days find
means of inciting the Bulgarians against them,
and death and desolation follow. The high
hand of the law, so powerful with us, is para-
lyzed here. The men supposed to look after
and guide the affairs of the province are off
their heads ; hence you see the wanderers wan-
dering to what they consider an asylum, and the
authorities allowing them to go, though know-
ing well that skfety is not to be found there.-
The Governor of a town does this merely not to
have 1,50,000 sools on his hands, liecause
he haa not wherewith to feed them.
They will ^move on and on nntil starva-
tion cuts them down. I will put it plainly
to you. We are on tbe verge of Winter, an^
these people ■will be without home, shelter, food,
fire, and money. They will die like flies. At
this very instant a .sight the most piefure.sque,
though full; of pain, catches my eye. On the
other side of the bay, distant "from here two
miles, stretches a spur of the Balkans. .\t its
foot, wearied with travel, is encamped a village,
or rather the inhabitants of a village now de-
serted. The people are Tartars, and many of
their women and children are very pretty and
very fair. Long lines of blue smoke rising up teU
me they are preparing for their evening meal.
The shoe has not begun to pinch yet ; a little
money is still left and besides they are in the
neighborhood of a town. To-morrow they will
cross the mountains at dawn anddisappear, to be
heard of months afterward as dying from cold
and starvation. Some who read my letter may
think I harp too mnch on this subject. To them
I appeal for patience. If they could picture to
themselves as connected with or happening to
any member of their family one iota of what I
see, they would recoil with horror and indigna-
tion, "ro-day a youiig Englishman of good
family willprobably be shot after tnal by cotirt-
martial. He was caught attempting to get to
the Russiaii lines with plans of the Turkish
fortresses, and death will be his reward. I will
tell you all about it when I write to-morrow. It
is very painful The poor lad has been very in-
discceet ^^^^

SCRANTON, -Penn., Aug. 12. — On Satur-
day afternoon Cai-bondale was thrown into a
state of wild exciteinent, owing to the fact that
about 230 piiners proceeded against the pump-
men at the several mines in and about Carbon-
dale, and ordered them to abandon their posts,
which request was compUed with. The
fires were then drawn, and the mines are,
of course, being floodtjd with water. The crowd
then visited the ysid of the Delaware and Hud-

REV. C. H. PAYNE, REV. DR. NE^WMAN,
AKD OTHERS
F.UKPOrXT, N. T.. Ang. 12. — This has
been a notable Sunday at Fairpoint. The Sev.
enth National .Assembly Sunday-school, with 1 00
teachers and 2.000 pupils, was held at 9 o'clock.
At n o'clock Rev. C. H. Payne, D. D., Presi-
dent of the Ohio We-tleyan Cniversity at Delar
■ivare, preached on the riches of our inheritance
in Christ Jesns, claiming that all things
belong to hi.< followers, and are for
their good. That distinguished man from
Boston, Joseph Cook, who has reofently been
sending sucli volleys of shot and shell into the
camp of the enemy, who. with a scourge of
linked logic, hits been driving infidel scientists
out of the pure temple of truth, which they
were profaning, adfls to the wealth of
all Christian ministers and workers. He
does not belonir to the Congregational
Church nor to Boston alone, but to the
whole church of Christ and to the whole wide
world. 0r. Payne added : I glorv in tlie com-
m:inding talent and the coniman<^ing work of
this noble man, and of all God's true wo'-kmen :
they are all niint- and all yours, and all are serv-
ing our highest interests.
At 2 o'clock Rev. Dr. Newman, of Wa.=hing-
ton. preached in the Pavilion, (which was packed
with people.) on the mission of the believer
in the evangelization of the world. This
topic implied the universal recognition of ,I*sus
Christ as the Son of God, and the other fact
that God provides in His own good time tbe
mears and the men to accomplish His purposes
So God sett into the world Cyrus the Persian
and Luther the monk, and at last Joseph Cook,
the Chri.'itian logician, v.-ho is pre-emin-
ently ih«- man for the prejsent time. Pseudo
evangelists, who essitycd to crow<i out the Pastors,
were denounced, but the speaker said he would
gladly follow tbe leadership of such great men
as Cook, Murphy, and Moody. Other men, un-
known to fame, and women and t^hildrcn also,
could perform humble but eflicient work for
f 'hrisi. The great need of such is consecration
to the work of soul-saving.
At .5 o'clock Mrs. Emily Huntington sillier
delivered an address on the mother's uncon-
scious influence, and a voting men's meeting
was held under tbe direction of George A.
Hall, of New- York. An eventide conference

TRYING TO MURDER A SWITCHMAN.
CoLUiiBrs, Ohio, Aug. 12 — ^A man named
Schlutter. employed bv the Pan Handle Railroad
C jmpany, was found near the round-house this
oming in an un'conscious condition. He had
a terrible bruise on his right cheek and temple,
which looked as if it had been made ■with a club.
His face was so swollen that it was impossible
to TeU whether the skull was fractured or not.
Schlutter was employed as a switchman, and
stood by the railroad company during the late
strike. It is believed that the blow was inflict-
edjby a would-be assassin, and the fact that
Schlutter was not robbed adds weight to this
suspicion. The injured man lies in a very pre-
carious condition.
ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN.
Mauch Chitnk, Penn., Aug. 12.— An at-
tempt was made to-day to wreck the early
through passenger train at Packerton, about
three miles from here. The switch was un-
locked and turned, but fortunately the engineer
saw the danger in time to check the speed of
the train, and, although every car but one ran
off the track, none of the passengers were in-
jured. A similar attempt to -wreck the same
train was made near M ilkesbarre on Friday
morning.

Capt Hamilton's battery of the Second Artal-
leiy to the arsenal in this city will relieve the
Marine detachment which has been on dnty
there for the past three weeks. Lieut Henry
C. Cochrane, of \he United States Marine
Corps, has been detached from command, and
ordered to rejoin the Plymouth, which vessel
will probably leave here next Wednesday for
Norfolk and New- York, and may carry to its
station the Marine battalion of Col. Forney,
which is now due here from Baltimore.
Since the Ist of July the Secretary of the
Na^vy has given employment to 3,400 men at
the navy-yards throughout the country. "The
appropriations for the several bureaus of the
department although smaller than usual, have
been liberally distributed, so as to give employ-
ment to as many as pos.sible. It is tlie object of
the Secretary to relieve the wants of those de-
serving employment to the full extent of his
power.
FoETEESS MoN-BOE.Va.. Aug. 12. — The United
States steamers Huron and Swatara, from Wash-
ington, arrived in Haihpton Roads this morn-
ing. "The Swatara sailed this afternoon for the
Norfolk Navy -yard.
NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.
Washington. Aug. 12, 1877.
Mr. O'Sullivan, who has always been
prominently interested in the proposed Nica-
raugua Canal, was at the State Department yes-
terday on diplomatic business connected with
that enterprise. He says the work will cost $^j0,-
000,000. and can be complet»l within five years.
No appropriation ■will be asked of Congress, but
subscriptions will be opened in all parts of the
world. He speaks confidently of the success of
the work, the surveys for which have already
been made by the United Stales Government
Acting Secretary McCormiek yesterday
issued a circular to the employes of the
Treasury Department, staring that the credit of
the Government required its duties to be per-
formed by honorable men ; that the Secretary
wotiJd not be annoyed by creditors seeking their
just dues from clerks ; that it ■was expected that
all just debts would be paid, and that if clerks
refuse to pay just debts they will be charged
with fraudulent practices and recommended for
dismissal by the chiefs of their respective
bureaus.
ANOTHER TAMMANY APPOINTMENT.
THE UTEST FOREIGN NEWS.
ME. COENTLL, THE OLD BUTCHZB A>'D CLERK
OF WASHINGTON MARKET, REMOVED,
AM) A TAiIMA>'Y EUSI-SELLER PL'T IN
HIS PLACE.
Among the new appointments of Controllor
KeUy is that of John Keenan to the clerkship of
Washington Market- Mr. John N. Cornell, a butch«>r
for more- than 40 years, ti»e greater part of that
time doi'ng business in "Washington Market, bas
been removed to make room for him.
Keenan keeps two liquor saloons in the
Elev*mth Ward— one on the comer of Avenne
C and" Eleventh-street — has served Tammauy Hsll ,
faithfully in the State Lepslntnre. is an active poli-
tician in his " de*strict." and is. therefore, valuable
to •' Boss ■' Kelly, and the latter has finally given
him a sabstantial reward for his services. The repu-
table tradesmen of Washington Market are not very
well satisfied withtbechangethathasheen made. Mr.
Cornell is highly respected by them, and ei-Controiler
Green could noi have selected a man who had more
knowledge of the nwirket and the men who do basi-
nets there, and whoso experience so easily enabled
him to detect and prevent the petty frauds that dis-
honest butchers and hucksters are every day endeav-
oring to perpetrate on the xmblic. Peddlers, beggars,
and thieves are continually appearing in the market,
and are great 'nests to tbe market men. To keep
them without its precincts it is necessary that
some person. whose business interests are
ideutical with those generally of the market should
be its clerk; as that ofBciaJ is required to look after
such characters, and to see that the proper police
re^rulat ions are enforced. The clerk of a market, in
the opinion of the Washington Market butchers,
should be himself a practical butcher, one on whom
the market men, and the public generally, can depend
upon as knowing ■what meat offered for sale is
fit to sell and what should be condemned.
There is a class of men called *' carriers." who. when
the Kiand-holders have pold out their stock, and have
closed up for the day, wUl buy an>-thing. no matter
how bad. place it on the Tacant stands and sell it.
\Vhen the deceived buyer finds that what he has
bought is bad, and returns the next day to complain,
he can find nobody who is responsible for the sale
of it, the owner of the stand not knowing who
has occupied his stand during his absence. X^e
clerk of the market is the man to look after these
frauds, and to secure the punishment of the defraud-
ers. In order to do so. it is very obvious
that he should be tboroughjy ■*-ell acquainted
with tbe market, and if he has a business theie
callirg for his presence in the market every day. so
much the better. Mr. Cornell can be found at his
stand in the market, when in (rood health, every day
in the year. The newly appointed clerk will, if ne
expects to make his Uquor traffic pay, and to attend
to the active work in the political held required of
him by the-Tammany Hall Committee on Organiza-
tion. fisve but little time left to attend to his multi-
form duties in Wa.shington Market. Mr. Cornell Ls
unable to tell why he has been remoTed, and the
only explanation that can be (riven is that he is not
as Valuable in politics to Tammany Hall as is
Keenan. ^^^^^

London, Axig. 12.— French political af.
fairs are beginning to take & leading place ia
the view of Western Europe. »At B^lin a con^
dVtat in France is beU«»-red probable, and it Is
also thought that a Govemroent estalSlished Vy
a coup d'etat would not he recognized by G^er-
many. Notwithstanding that profound paara
prevails throughout FVance. the tltra-Cona^-va-
tive papers are urgring the Government to dctclare
martiaj law. There is a report in fact, roxrent
that the Cabinet have already resolve*! upon
this step, and some journals discuss it, in th«
light of a foregone conclusion.- Tftsterday's
Unwertt said : '* If tbt* iliniaterfl-'hii.ve really
decided, as alleged, by fir** votes to ftjtir to pro-
claim a state of siecre. we shall highly approve 0(t
the measure. We ask for a state of siege that
the electors may vote freely, and be unlnflueneed
by the falsehoods of the Radiol propaganda.**
The £7n»v«r» also asserts a bf'lief that an im-
mediate procUmation of martial law is rendered
necessary by the license of the radical news-
papers, which dare to talk of civil war
unless their candidates obtain a majority at the
approaching elections. Mgr. Ehipanloup^s news'

that the Government may be forced to meet,
by a state of siege, the fierce and unconstitu-
tional war the Radicals wage against it ; tha

tal and social crisis : the Constitution is formal-
ly attacked, and the Government would be
wrong if it did not seek ' the meaz^s to defend
itself.
The Committee of the Right publishes
another appeal for funds to carry on their
electoral work- They urge order loving citizens
to respond because propaganda of th^Right

The following has been received from th«
Turkish Legation :
A corresx>ondence from Xew^ort. published,
in an important Philadelphia nevrspaper on the
10th inst., states the followine :
" It has been whispered about that the Turks had
opened a recruiting agency in this city. It if*
pretty certain that there is no reciuit*";
m the onlinary way — ^tha.t is t.> sav; l^j.
is no regular recruiting »;tation or o* «•»

any able-bodied men amonj;: -^i^ who \ cr -

ean civil war they would be all t be more wf-lco. ^u,
and the rank thev cwuired that time w.»Ti'd be xeoDif

The Turkish Ijccui;f"r: denies, in the moat
emphatic manner, tlie above informa:ic-n, which
has no foundation whatever.

HOBART PASHA NOT IV COUHIASD
TBE TURKISH FLEET.
The DaUy JV'«ir«' correspondent at Constant!-^
nople writes, on the 30th of July-: " I see the iTate-
ment continually repeated hi th» English -papers that
Hobart Pasha is in command of the Turkish fieet. It
may be as well, once for all, to state that Admiral
Hobart never has held such conumoid, and
that it is very unlikely that h© ever wiU.
During the past two months, with one short
exception, he has been hi Constantinople. It is no
secret that a squadron tmder his command in the
Black Sea would be very much more to his taste than
dandng attendance to the Admiralry, and to-day it la
announced that he bas succeeded in obtshiing snch a
command. But fortunately, probably, for the Rus-
sian coasts, the Turks are much too jeakms of him
as a foreigner to give him a eomnvmd mS-
ciently important to allow hJm to distxzuuish
himself. Meantime, it is a pleajsnre to see hha
in the streets of C-onstanttnople. and to know
that the Torkisfa fleet is out of harm's way. The
Turks have excuse themselves for not giving him a
command on the plea that they want his axjoKtMHon
in Council here. It Is to be hoped that they will con-
tinue of tbe same mind- His advice wiU oartainly ba

by touches of brown and yellow on Virginian

of umbrageous splendors. London is delight-
ful in Auenst and September, when the crowd
Is thinner and'the noise of cab and carriage
i.s modided at midnight. In the season,
society rolls about on wheels all night, and we
hare not yet passed the West End in the wood,
though the process of change trom the old sys-
tem w the new is going on. Americans who are
still here on their holidays in Europe are sur-
prised and delighted with the climate. With
Ix)rd Byron, they thonpht England had no cli-
mate—only weather. But during the last few
weeks calm blue skies and a pulsation of heat in
the atmospbere have reminded them of home,
and zruule them content with England.
Miss Fanby Davenport finds that she can-
not remain until the middle of August, as she
honed. She loft London last night, and sails
from Liverpool to-diiy by the Spain. Her short
visit, she s.iys, has been a very pleasant one,
and she hopes to return early neit year to ap-
pear at ai West End theatre in Mr. Daly's suc-
cessful drama of •' Pique." The finest acting
she has seen here was in " Old Men and Xew
Acres," by the Court company, (the stars being
Mr. Hare and Miss Ellen Terry,) and "The
Lyons Mail." She considers 31r. Henry
Irvine's dual performance the best esam-
j-le of melodramatic acting of her time.
She rejrrottM that she could not remain to see
•'Liz. or. That Lass o' Lowries," which is to
h» prod iic<>(! in London on the 1st of Septem-
ber, more esr,»ecinlly as she is to play the heroine
m ihe new di*an» on the other side. To-day
^ir. Palorn-ve .Simpson and one other member of
the Garrick Club were to have shown her the
treasures of that famous institution, and a
Thsces picnic had been arranged for her at the
end of the week : but the Spain and her Boston
engagements would not wait. and -so
the f.".ir vision of traasjvtlantic beantji'
has disappeared just as its prciP'
cnre v.'as beginning to he known and
ctknowlodi^l. She has only been here 10
[lavs, during which time several impromptu en-
tertainment of welcome have been given to
her. The fllympic had an "At Home" in her
honor ; Mi.'« Braddon's last recention of the sea-
son was ma.le "speciid" in the iutereat of the
Amerit'au r.riist ; slia was received by ?Ir,
■VViikie Coliins ; and the first manager in Lon-
rion to iiSer her b rms for next season was Jlr.
Mapleson. Atiiong the artists now in London
who cailed upon her may bo mentioned 31r.
Irving, ^Ir. Xevilie. and Mr. JefFerson. Th^at-
ri''al la.^t,? on both sides of iheAtlantic is aflckle
end niicerra^n iliin;. You like artists for whom
we ''.ire li:tl*' ; London f iivors othe^ whom you
will ni'T. ri?cei~e. Just now the London models
of histrionic art are -Mrs. Kendall. Mrs. Baa-
froft, and Eil n Terry. Tae nearer Miss Daven-
port npptoaciies in style to any of these the
in ore ccri.ijn will be her success, unless she has
a marktj-l and takins individuality of her own.
and in fn.at case she rany score a distinct and
special rrhiriiph. She has a magnificent appear-
ance, atid is haud.<onier than any woman on the
Kn?iish staje. Her elocution is tolerably
free from what they call here "the
American acceuf," bat she betrays it in
the tironunciarion of a-« few words, and
.•-he niiist cet rid of it if .she is to appear in
siia!;e?p<!trcan plays or old comedy, borne of
the Western journals. I nee. have been criticis-
ing and UiighincatCoshli^n's ■■English accent."
Now. MIni* Davenport's elocution Is far more
neutral in natlonaipecullorities than C'oghlan's,
nut the vecoCTiition of his .shortcomings i.n the
'Tav of accetit on your i-ide will illustrate what
I mean by tiie American accent in London.
Misa Daveiifjort has so little to forget in this re-
spect th.'*t cweek with an English familv would
irtich he- sil .she *ant5 to know for the English
stase. and, uithoueh you might look upon the
lr->.son a* nnneressRry and an impertinence,
<lie would lind the benefit of it before
a Londf^n auiiience. As a rule. Londoners
.■•pe-J: the Eu^'lish l;ingua2e badly; they are,
liierefore, hU the inoi-e critical of other.:. In
oco ot' y,r.. Daly's well-moiinted -iomestic
dnimas 31i^s Davenport would make a ;^-eat
fcucce.-s. Everybody who has seen her is
rhanupfl with her apVearanre. undone manager
talks of her as "' the only woman for Clmpalra,
•■^ir." If 3Ir. Maple.son 'intends to open Her
Maje.sty.ii. for drama, he will materially
fti-engtlich ins chances of a profitable season by
»ngairin2: this. American actress, and I l>elieve
that IS his O'A-n opinion.
Lai-t niuht Mr.. Irving played flomre( for his
h*^neflt. Tiie ho*as« was crowded. Miss Daven-
port savs he is the mo.^t intere-sting Prince she
ha? ■ofin. Hi.^ Ur.mlct is more hun;sn than that
"i anv modern actor: He was enthusiastically
received. At the close he made a graceful
speech, in which he took leave of his friends
iiati! neic season. He made a humorous allu-
sion to the fact that this year hia legs had been
permitted to liave a rest Some of 3ir. Irving's
critics don't like his legs. If they bad made
Uni thev would have given him shapely, Adonis-
liko limbs. Mr. Irring. however, prefers his own
■egs, ami so do Iiis audi4teces, for thay fit his pecii-
liar oru-Uaphaelitisb figure. He told his fnends
last ni;rlit that the novelties of next season
would be a new drama, ii.-ritten bv Mr. Wilkie
lollins fur Miss Bateiuan, to be called ''A Dead
Secret." It is generally understood that Irving
is to viair America nest vear. .Should he do so,
he will open in "The Bells "or "The Lvons
.Mail." und will play Bamlei, Jiichetieii^
Ku-hnrtl III., and Charlss I, throwine in
nceasionally some wayside example of his light
and eccentric comedy. The Lyceum will be
dosed from now until late in the year, so far
Mr. Uateinau's management is concerned. There
Is ..iome talk of Carl Rosa occupying it again
tor a few week during the vacation
Mr. Collins is dramatizing "The Moonstone
for the Olympic September is fixed for its pro-
duction, with Miss Patoman, Mrs. Seymour,
and Jlr. Neville in the leading characters.
•• Lady Aiidley's Secret" was not a success at
t'nis theatre, which has had a long run of bad
luck. -The Scuttled Ship" is the only piece
that has brought money into the treasury dur-
ing the past year. Mr. Charles Reade is now
taking an active interest in the management,
and it is thought that "The Moonstone, with a
. _*ew work by Keade to follow, will put the pretty
little house in a fair way to a revival of
its. better fortunes. The Globe is said to have
struck oil in " Stolen Kisses," though I very
much doubt the genulneneaa of the "crowded
bouses. " Mr. Slerritt's play is well constructed
and full of promise of f uttxre juccesses, but it is
not entiued to the critical compliments which
have been lavished upon it. Jtanagers, never-
theless, evidently think Mr. Merritt deserving
of attention. lUa " Golden Plough," recently
played in this country, h»« been accepted by
Mr. Churterton for the Adalphi, where it is to
apt«al to the public under a new nam& " The
GKilden Plough " is an odd and unsuggestive
e.tlc: "Voices in the Kight" is after all no
great improvement ; but a good play will easier
carry a bad title Jhan a good tttla a bad play.
The very lat«3t settlement of " The Pink
Dominos " dispute is that Mr. Wyndham pays
Mr Albery $2,000 and re'jilna all rights. After
iViusing each other in print and in private, the
dramatic belligerents have embraced each other,
swore eteroal friendship, and Albery is to de

A SE^liBOUS SOAK VHO GATE AWAY OVER

AND CHAKITABLB PCTBPOSES.
The Rochester Democrat has the following in.
connecjaon with the announcement elf the deaih In
that dty on Thtirsaay~oT Mf .' Lewis Brooks : , " Our
readers will remember the curiosity awakened not
long since upon* the anaoimcement that a liberal
gentlenun of Bochester had bestowed $120,000
upon the University of Virginia, at Montlcello, had
erected new buildings, endowed the university with
a large fund, and proylded It with a museum se-
lected! by Prof. Ward in a European tour.
That I liberal gentleman waa Lewis Brooks.
It will also be remembered that $10,000
was given last year to the Rochester City
Hospital. The donor was Lewis Brooks- St. Mary's
Hospital also received $10,000 from a friend whose
name was not made public The donor was Lewis
Brooks^ Tho Industrial School and the Rochester
Female Charitable Society were each presented with
$5,000 in a siinilar manner. The donor of both
these feifts ti enterplses saiUy in need of
fnndfi' was Lewis Brooks, tho man who last
evening, aft^r ' a life of 84 years* duration,
Eassed from earth to his rest and rewr,pd.
«wis Brooks was a peculiar man, and one of his
peculiarities was his unwillingness to say anything
about himself. He was exceedinRly modest and re-
tiring in his disposition, and rarely confided anything
to any one. Hehad no family and no relatives in
this city, and h^nce very little regarding his life can
be given.
About 40 years ago he retired from basinesa. and
since that time has engaged merely in investing
his money and* icaring for the real estate he owned.
AVise, prudent, and economical, he amassed a very
large property, and having no children with whom to
leave it, he very naturally sought to do good with it
by donating
educational purposes.
hved : all his
last 16 yeari
He had two
portion of it to charitable and
He never married, but
life alone, and dnriuK the
boarded at the Osbum House,
brothers Vxvvaa: in this vicinity,
one Garry Brooks, residing at Fairport, and the
other. Samuel Brooks, at Churchville. Both of
the.-^e Rentlemeni have families. He made no new ai'-
qiiaintandes except at rare intervals, but to hts old
friends and associates he was as true as steel, and bv
all who kpew hiin his death will be sincerely and nn-
feignedly moorried. Alwut a week ajio he was taken
ill. but up to Wednesday afternoon his sickness did-
not contme-hirn to his room. It then assumed a
more serioos form. Mid Inst oveninp, suddenly and
in an unexpected manner, he quietly and calmly
dropped away. There was no relative with him. but a
few of his warm friends were hy his side in the bwt hour.
l*arce] as have been the donations the deceased made
to pijhlic jlnstitutions. they are by no means all. To
those I bel,on2inst to his own blood and to those in
whom! he bad no personal interest save that of syro-
pathyi he has ffivea freely and largely- To the needy
and suffering his liherality has been open-handed and
almost unstinted, and no worthy object of assistance
was ever allowed to leave his presence unaided. The
hospitals and other charitable institutions of this
citv have received large benefits from his hands, not
only thron^ih the donations mentioned above, but in
many lesBor amounts eiven at various times. It
wa.5 the intynliou of tho tleceased, as his friends
st.tte. to bf slow a coodly sum upon every charitable
entTpriso m tin; city, hut whether his arramrenients
were perfected or not is not known. -There is an
immense prooerty left, but as to its disposition noth-
ing is knowni."

TUE TKURIBLE CSIME OF ATOrXG GIRL.
The London Daily Sfu-s of Aug. 2 says : "A
remarkable case was heard before Mr. Justice Brett,
at Bury St. Edmunds, on Tuesday- Kate Ellen Rob-
inson, domestic servant, aged 14, was ch.irged with
wonnditur ilargaret Wender, her mistress, with in-
tent to ktll her^ at Yoxford. ilrs- Wender is a widow
of 7f? years of age, and of independent means.
and on April ^i last, while she was in bed. the pris-
oner suddenly] and without any apparent reason,
snvagely attached her with a heartn-bmsh. beating
hor about the' head and face. In the strugifle Mrs.
Wender fell out of bed, and the brush was lost; but
prisoner ran down stairs and brought back a bill-
hoTik; with wWlch she hacked her victim about in a
terrible manner, stopping her mouth with an
apron when she attempted to give an alarm.
She then covered the old woman up. and left her
lying on the llojor. Returning in a short tiaie to see if
hhb was dead, prisoner next proceeded to ran!>ack the
house, takinc all the money, plate, and other valu-
ables she could'lay her bauds on. She then -went to
the nearest railway station, where she told a woman
that she was going to Ipswich, and would be met
there by a person to take the things which she had
with her. Her mistress recovered from the
swoon into which she had fallen through
fri^t and loss of blood, and succeeded in attracting
the jaiteotion of the neighbors- Prisoner was
traced to the railway station, and found with the
stolen propertyin her po.<isesslon. The juryretumed
a verdict of guilty, and ilr. Justice Brett, In passin?
aent^nee. said that if a grown-up person had been
convicted of such a diabolical offens« he should,
without hesitation, have committed him or her to
penal servitude for life; but. taking the prisoner's
youth Into censideration. he would sentence her to
only 112 years' penal servitude."
A OVRIOUS USE FOB TBE MAGyET.
A curious instance of the utility of the magnet
is mentioned in the Adelaide RegisUr of June 14. A
young lady sat down on a settee on which a needle
had ^en carelessly left. It pierced her thigh and to-
tally disappeared in the flesh. Medical men said it
could onlvbe reached by a large inriaion, and con-
cluded to leave it time In the hope that it might work
itself out. The pain, however, became so severe that
the young lady was confined to her bed. So a magnet
was sugzested, and a powerful one being procured
and applied, in four hours the needle reacbea the sur-
face,! zHlsed and protruded itself through the skin,
and was instantly extracted. It h«d been in the flesh
for three weeks.
I EFFECTS OF TBS IMAGIKATIOK.
The Beading (Penn. ) EagU of Thursday has the
foUoiwlng account of the curious way in which a resi-
dent] of that place waa almost driven hico'a qni<^
consumption: "The case is that of Henry C. Ersh-
man, residing near the boundary of the county, near
SweetWood, who is a large owner of iron ore lands,
and the possessor of considerable property. Up to
within several weeks ago he was hale and heuty,
and. notwithstan(Ung lua abundance of this world's
goods, he generally wore one suitrof clothes during
the week and on Sunday. Several weeks ago he was
startled because he imagined that a very foul smell
either cams from his ears, or mouth, or the pores of
hia ikln. He was greatly alarmed, and imagined he
was sinking into galle^ig e«nsmnptio«, and was
gradnaHy decaying. He was unable to sleep,
bee&me haggard and exaaeiaied. and even
hia friends b<cKa to tma^ne that hia

The WDodSQian had a loss talk with him, and he
ateod quite close to examine him. Then the woods-
man asked tho rick man for his coat It wm e»m-
iaefl. The woodsman carried it away 20 yimia, and
it was discovered that the stench followed. The eoat
was then thoroughly examined and a dead mouse was
found in the lining. The mouse had by some means
potten^&to the lining of his coat and died there, and
its decaying remains caused the nnnleasant effluvia.
TiVhen this was made known the sufferer gained cour-
age, and as be slowly realized what imagination had
done, he rallied and was aoon on a favorable road to
the be^t of health again,"

Th^ Galvesion A>tr«, a Democratic paper,
prints tha following in its correspondence from
Austin, Te^as, dated 6th hist. :
J The Depaocracy all along the rank and file are
confused and chagrined at the details of the land
gn^b. ; Thete are none who know Mr. Groos would
suspect hi^ action was actuated bv any interested
motives, ai^d people generally think he has only been
exirenaely weak. Some say the interests over which
he |ha" eon^ol, t>eing-even of more . importance than
those in charge of the State Treasurer, as the titles to
hundreds abd thousands of homesteads are involved,
and the Stjate's rights in the several million acres of
school anti university lands are involved, it is the
ve^y worst pobdy to retain in such position a man so
incjapable \ot pixitecting these interests as ho has
Bhowujhitnkelf to be, and that therefore the people
ought to aflkl him to resign. And the Radicals enjov
the situatTon. They say the Uttle steal of 375.000
acres is all In the Democratic brotherhood— that
Democratic contractors, Domocrati? aspirants, and a
Democratic official fixed up the little job — while
tliey i poiiit ylth exultation to the record
of I JJr. Kuechler, >Ir. Groos' predecessor,
also ia . Gerdian, but % Eepublican. who,
in I |»| islmllai: ca.«ie acted just to the
contrary.] j'While he was in office a railroad reserva-
tion wAs ! opened to location of land certificates.
Every I other section of tlie reservation had originally
been reRCcrved for tho public school fund. When tho
reservatiori was opened the land sharks went for tha
school l«if»4^.'' holding that the forfe,iture or opening
of the resep-ation opened all the lands in it to loca-
tion. They made their surveys and filed them and
certificate^ for patent: but Mr. Kuechler would not
issue tho pptent!!. Every influence was brought to
bear, butjne resisted. Even for a time the Attomey-
Geineral. l^t is claimed, thought the Commissioner
ought to jiit^ne the patents. He stood out upon
what ihej thonght to be the right line to pro-
tect Jhi"^ .Sta|e and tho school fund without
regard to the opinions of outside parties as to the
strict letter of j the law. The result was a suit to
cojnpol lilm to] Issue the patents. The Attoniey-
General Ipterpased ah able aefense. and the Supremo
Court jdi.sniissed the suit, and Mr. Kuechler had the
.■ia^lsfftctilon of refiecting that he had saved 600.000
to l.OOO.OOO aci-es of land to the sehoolfnnd. A Demo-
cratic official has taken precisely the contrary course,
issued; llie certificates, and says somebody else should
have resisted th^ demand. Kuechler's ease is reported
in 40th volume|Teias Reports, page 600. Kuechler
in jhi.'i I answer to the application for mandamus said
that ho bad ' rto objection (neither had Mr. Groos)

this, tihe iprincipal party interested in the job applied
to one of the lea^iing law firms in the State to know
if he could brine suit to comjvel the Commissioner to

The Itoyal Humane Society of En^^land has
■published; some verj* seasonable advice to bathers :
"Avoid bathing within two hours after a meal, or
when exhausted by fatigue or from any other cause,
or when khe body is cooUug after perspiration, and
avoid bathing altogether in the open air if, a^er be-
ing' a sbdrt time m the watwr, thero is a sense of
chillinessi with numbness of the hands and feet ; but
bathe when tho body is warm, provided no time U
lost In getting into tho water. Avoid chilling the
body by sitting or standing undressed on the banks
or in hoaia afiter baring been in the water, or remain-
ing too long in the water, but leave the water imme-
diately itperej is the slightest feeling of chilliness.
The vigfw-ou3 and strong may bath© early in the
moriiing on an empty stomach, but the young and
■ those who are weak had better bathe two or three
hoars aft era meal ; tho best time for such is from
two or three hours after breakfast. Those who are
subject to attacks of glddmess or faintness, anij who
suffer from palpitation and other sense of dUcora-
fort at the heart, should not batne without first con-
sulting their iuedical advisor."

From the CoUtmbxtt (Ga.) Enquirer.
ArnAirrA, Ang. 3, 1877.
Allow me to call attention to one fact that
may47eate a false impression in the minds of some
of your readers, and the readers of other papers, in
reference to the action of the Constitutional Conven-
tion. I allude to this, that the first crude reports of
the Committee of Nine are published as the action of
the convention, on the various subjects submitted to
such committee. It may happen that the reader
will get these original propositions, submitted by a
committee of nine, so fixed in his mind that It will bo
difficult afterward to remove the impression so made
upon him. -These original reports frequently un-
dergo a radical change before final action is had upon
them, lu the first place, they are submitted to a
cominittee of 20. where they are discussed, received,
and amended, and then submitted to the entire body,
where important changes and amendments are often
made.
In illustration of the above, take the case of the
report of the Committee of Twenty-six in reference
to the mode of selecting the Judges of the Supreme
and Superior Cotirts. That committee, as vou hsve
seen, auggested an entirely new plan. Tiiat was,
that the Senate should select (or elect) and present
to the Governor two names, and one of these the
Governor should nominate to the Senate to be con-
firmed by them. This new proposition, submitted
by the committee, had but verj* few advocates in
the convention. Now, here were before the con-
vention four different modes of selecting
the Judges. The above was one ; another
was, a direct appointment by the Governor ;
another was an election by the people, and stiU an-
other was an election by the Legislature. Each of
the four modes had some merits. Hnd each has some
objectionable features. The proposition submitted
by the committee received no consideration, and had
no advocate before the convention. Tlie str^ic^le
was between the advocates of the other three modes;.
and they seemed to.be pretty eqoallj* divided. Those
favortng an election by the people were organized.
active, and persistent. That mode of selecting
Judges at this time had such manifest objections
that the friends of all other modes reaaily combined
against it, and by a large majority the convention de-
termined that the Judges and Solicitors should be
elected J>y the Legislatnre. For a long seriei* of
years our Judges were elected in that way. and It
seems to have worked welL 1 confess that from be-
ginning to end I wjrdialiy supported that mode of se-
lecting Judges, and rav recollection is that it received
the votes of all the delegates from the Twenty -fourth
District. For myself I supported it as against the
appointment bythe Governor mainly for the reason
that I desired to see this immense patronage taken
from the Executive.
In this connection allow me to say that I shall per-
sistently vote on this Une to the end of the chapter.
I was on the committee on the Executive Department,
and that committee recommended and reported sev-
eral important and radical changes in the department.
First. Ujat the Govomnr should l»e elected for only
two iiviioad of four years ; second, after a second
term he should be inelizible for four years ; and,
third, that the Secretar^'of State, ControUer-d'eneml,
and Treasurer should be elected by the people at the
same time and for the same term as the Governor.
This will fjccasion no eslra elections and no extra
expense. They will be elected on the same ticket
with the Governor. With this action of tho commit-
tee I heartily ' oucurred, and it has been ratified by
the convention. And In committee I went further,
and proposed that the Attorney -General should also
be elected by the people, and not appointed by the
Governor. A majority of the committee favored hi*
appointment by the Goremor, and so reported to the
Commit tee of Twenty-six and they reported the same
way to the convention. From that committee I ap-
pealed to the convention, and by a large majorify they
sustained the proposition that the Attorney -General
should :ilso be elected by the people;
1 ailuife to this to show the processes through
which every psragraxth in tho Constitution has to
pass. Tht?' Executive Department has now all been
completed, aud 1 believe the chauKes will bo indorsed
by the |.K»ople. The salary of the Governor was
fixed at .$;i.O00. I think it too low, but you mu?-t
remember that tJiere are lUl obstinate delegates, aud
I cannot have my way In all things. For instance. I
proposed that the tlxeeutive Mansions, both of them,
should l>e sold, and the Governor receive a fixed
salary and no perquisites. The truth is. that as a
business transact'on it costs the State annuallv from
»10.*KK> to .-JIS.OOO to support tho Governor. This
is made up of the interest of $75,tHX). invested in
mansions; the insurance, repairs, gas, water. &c., in
conuoctiou with the same, and ahw the furniture and
renow.il and re}>airs of the same. But these ubati-
nate dt tcgate.s are iu mv way. But I do believe this
proposition will tinidiy be carried out. Many, verj'
manv dplcgatca are now In favor of it. The (rovern-
OTs. X am informed, do not want these palaces, for if
tliey live iu palaces they rau.st entertain like Princes,
and' their little salaries are soon exliansted.
I now firmly l>elicve that this couvention will sub-
mit a constitution that will receive the approbation
of the p-niple. The rvduriion of the expenditures of
Govf i-nmf ut. I bt,'lieve, will amouut to :5100,0<K) per
cnriuni, and may reacli $150,000. My fear now i-^,
that they may go a little loo far in the reduction of
salBrie5,'o.specially In the salaries of the Judges.
The capital and homestead questions, what about
them f The flrs^t. I think, will be settled as a
separate proposition outside of th.e Constitution. It
eiritcs lint little interest among delegates-
The lioinestend question oiiaht to be settled in
30 minutes. Tho fundaTiiental law ought to do no
more than to limit the amount to $2,000. in both
real and personal property, and leave all the details
to the Legislature. That Is my proposition and I
wl'! i^ttind on it. But. as I hsve said above, tbo'^o
o'^alinHte d*»iogates may lie in my way. The educa-
tional questiiot will receive attention when renchcd.
Why not linish up the work and come borne .'
Becaiise of these same obstinate men; they won't
atrree with rae. Thero are many able, talented, and
true men in this convention. Not a givai number of
e:oqu<*iit KjicHkers. audperhaps all the better for that.
As a body they have a largo share of ii:telligence,
capacitv.* and "sound judgnient.
FORTER INGRAM.
^ ▲ aotton was made to hear Mr. Bnadt, Mr:
mbbee, and any one who mi^bt wish to speak. Mr.
HaittTBond said ihe convention was waitizig on the
committal and he did not think it should stop Jo
hear speeches ; that he thought ther did wrong when
theyhetfd Gov, Brown and Col. «^wkins on tbo
rai&oad matters ; that It was best to let those gentle-
men print what they wished, and lay that before tho
convention. Upon that the committee decUsed to
hear oral argimieut- Mr. William ii. Reese stated
that the bonds of J. Boorman Johnson & Co. and"
Branch were covered by the amendment to the Con-
stitution, and the convention would not go behind
that. Mr. Hammond was of opinion that if the
State owed Branch or J- Boorman Johnson & Co.,
is was not on the bonds, but on equitable elaiins on
account c% money paid out because of tbo acts of the
State authorities and Legislature. It was said that
an attempt to press these bonds to recognition would
result m failure, and perhaps prove bad even any
equitable claim.
The .State is likely, to experience no trouble at tho
hands of any of the disgruntled bondholders, except
Mr, T. P. Branch. Jrfr. Branch is very much exas-
perated at the treatment he has received, and de-
clares that he intends to seize the property of the
Macon and Bnmswick Railroad or the road itself, as
the property of the State. He claims that the Stat©
hold the 5IacDn and Brunswiclr Railroad only bv
reason of the $2.r>O0.0OO of bonds he indorsed for
that road, and which that road failed to pay: and thai
as the State has redudiated $(i00,000or those l^nds.
the holders of those bonds own the proportion of
the road that their bonds bear to the whole issue.
He will place the levy in the hands of the
United States Marshal, and sa>s he will have
1 2 Deputies sent to Macon, and have them
stop the trains and s^ze them as his property. Tho
State, to throw off the levy of the United State«t
Marshal, must go into the United States Court, and
then the merits of the case can be.- gone into. Mr.
Branch also avows an intention of publishing certain
correspondence that passed between himself and Gt)V.
Smith, and between Gov. Smlthand the officials of the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad upon this subject.
So it is likely that if Major Branch does not get his
money he ^v^Il have several thousand dollars' worth
of fnn. We asked a lawyer what he thought. the ef-
fect of Major Branch's course would be. •'Why, he
will gn routed," he replied. "It's well enough to
take high-handed meastires wi*h an individual, btft
when a man is dealing with a sovereign State, he had
better go to her, humbly l^seeching upon his bended
knees, and even then the chances are that he will get
lUted out «npty.''
POLITICAI MISCELLAlfT.
kemarks of ex-gov. jeneinb in the con-
xt:ntion.
Es-Gov. Jenkins, in moving his amendment
that the disputed claims be submitted to the Supreme
Court of the State, and that its decifdon should be
final and conclusive between the State and the claim-
ants, snid : -I have never been tho legal adviser of
any of these claimants-; these gentlemen. Branch
and Herring, are known to me as citizens of Augusta.
Boorman, Johnson & Co., are tmknown to me. I do
not know that I ever saw one of the firm. I know
none of them. I am proceeding upon what I believe
to be a sound principle in this matter. But from the
very instance which I detail, it does seem to me that
the pa«t action of the Lejrislatnre ought not to be
conclusive or that upon which this convention or the
sovereign people of Geonoa shonld be contented to
rc-st a judgment. Now, Sir, what is the objection to
the plan 1 propose of haWng the cases inve.stiga^ed
and adjudicated by your Supreme Court. You
say it is a burden. It will be. I know. o,ut
by no means so great as yon supposed. The Legis-
lature in carrying out tKis prori.sion may provide
that ell claims coming btifore tiio Supreme Court.
and resting ujmn the same facts, when the facts are
ascertaineil ehall be consolidated and brought into
ouo case, and it will not be so large a burden' as you
teem to think. As to tne expense, what is it f ^At
most only a few thousand aoUare ; aud then 'the
State of Geoi-gia will have ^assumed and taken the
position of entire impartiality in this matter, and
*give these claimants an opportunity to defend them-
selves, and yon will see that the judgment of the
Supreme Court will be conclusive. Now. I ask the
gentlemen if they cannot trust these claimants to
their own Supreme Court f All of them (the court)
are men of supreme legal talents, high moral charac-
ter, and the greatest imaginable purity. Can't you
truKt them, and won't it be more satisfactory
to you in future and your constituents that you have
submitted the.*te legal claimants to adjudication i
And if Gt-oi^na is not liable, then no charge of injus-
tire can be brought against this convention. Is not
that a better plan of settling this matter than by a
sweeping clause of repudiation enacted by a body the
majority of whOm do not understand the merits of
these claims ! Do you, gentlemen, any of you who
have not been membefs of the Legislatiure at the
time these matters were considered — I say, have you.
aeJear idea and thorough knowledge of these claims ?
I have not myself, and I c.innot consent to vote for
this sweeping clause of repudiation without mure
knowledge than I have. It strikes me that the pro-
cedure which yonr committee has recommended
h**re, and which disposes of all of them if it is carried
out. will be nt-ithcr wise, nor just, nor moderate,, the
motto of your liitherto uniiullied coat of anns, !Mr.
President, this is a very crave question- It comes
home to tbe character of the State for wisdom, jus-
tif-e. and moderation. I aiu not disjiosed to worry
this convention. I think I have oxpreRsed my views,
and submit them to your eonsiden;t:on."
The discu^ioii was continued by Robert Toombs
and (.th'irs. and then the couveution voted by 16<»
yea-i to 15 nuys to lay ex-Gov. Jenkins' anjen'dment
uponthe table, thus refilling to refer even to their
own Supreme Court the question of the validity of
these- claims. It was easier to repudiate them at
once. It may have seemed cheaper, too. but it is
doubtful if it i?> found to pay in the long run.
SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE OBLIGA-
TIONS WHICH THE STATE HAS REPUDI-
ATED THROUGH THE ACTION OF ITS CON-
STITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
From the Atlanta (Go..) CongtUittion, Avg. 9.
There axe only three classes of Bonds in be-
half of which much effort has been made. It is true
that concerning a fourth class {$100,000 worth held
by the Warehouse Security Company of New-York)
we have seen a letter read from the Speaker's desk.
But no serious effort was made to bar these bonds
left out of the prohibition. The three contested
classes are as follows :
1. The Scott BondJi.— These bonds, only about S12,-
000 worth, were issued during the administration
of Gov. McDonald, and there is no question of their
original validity. The trouble with them Is this :
When, in 1S72, the Legislature required that all out-
standing bonds should be registered within a given
time, these bonds were omitted, through carelessibcss
of the holder or his agent. Payment upon them is
now barred.
2. The Rnorwan Johnson Bond*.— These bonds.
SI -0.000 on tho face, have the following histor\' :
The State paid H. I. Kimball $250,000 for the caui-
tol, paving liim in bonds. He hvpothecated $130.-
000 of these bonds with Russell, Sa^e & Co. After
a short time Bullock issued $250,000 of now bonds
with which to take up these bonds. He gave them
out. but they were not U5:ed to retire the old bonds,
but were applied to a different use. The State then
repudiated the bonds first issued &nd held that the
last isstie only was vaUd. Messrs- RusselL Sase &
Co., however, received a settlement. Messrs. John-
son & Co. now apply for a settlement.
.'J. The Branch d Co. £ond«.— These bonds are
$44,000 on the face, and were issued in aid of the
Macon and Brunswick Railroad. Mr. Branch s claim
is oe follows : He recites that when the Legislature
was sifting out the bad bonds from the good "ones it
was declared by special act of the Legulature that
the Macon and'Brunswick Railroad bonds were bind-
ing and valid; that Gov. Smith approved this act,
and tiiat relying upon this guarantee of the State,
given through its highest constituted authority, he
and Ills partners invented heavilv in the bonds. The
bonds were repudiated at a late date, and Mr. Branch
now asks that the ytate suslaiu it.-; guarantee by pay-
inc him tho money he expended for the bonds.
The bulk of the condemned bonds, however, do not
appear befot^ the convention at all. They are
doubtless considered "waste paper," and held by onr
friends pretty much as we held the blue and white
rags that passed for money when the southern cross
was beaming in the political sky. Of course, if these
three classes of bonds, now pressing for payment, are
allowed, it will open the door through wnieh millions
of more bonds wUl uress their clamorous way. In-
deed, the payment of Mr. Branch's claim will, it is
said, be confession to a principle on which the whole
of the repudiated bonds of the Macon & Bruns-
wick Railroad ($000,000 in value) will be made valid.
This fact seems to be the chief reason for refusing
to entertain the cousideration of these clasf^es of
bonds. There are many good men who believe In
the justice of one or more of these claims. Mr.
Jeremiah Black, of Pennsylvani»j has written a me-
morial, in which he says that he is certain that the
State owes the Boorman Johnson debt. Mr. Ste-
phens avouL'hes iu moat earnest lan;juage the integ-
rity of Mr. Branch's claim. In this he is backed by
Gov. Jenkins, by Mr. W. Hope Hull, by Major Cnm-
miu^s, and by Mr. Toombs, who toploftfcally re-
marks that if "the State don't pay it, be will." Mr.
Norwood thinks Johnson's elaun good, and so does
Senatoz' Kibbee and Senator Simmons.
It is objected, however, that to reonen the ques-
tion now, even to set aright some injustice that may
have been done -under the general act of repudiation.
would be to put the State in great peril and to great
trouble. It is uontended besides that several Legis-
latures have acted upon these matters, and have al-
ways agreed upon repudiating the whole amounts,
ana that the people of Qeoi^a having, by s sov.
ereign vote, incorporated the ordinance of repudia-
tion into the present Constitution, this convention
hss no right to reopen a (Question that has been
settled in so «cphatic deUberate, sad solemn a
manner.

TOOMBS BACKS DOWN AGAIN.
The Atlanta (Ga. ) ConstitiUion of the Sthinst.
prints the following : "A very lively little row was
raised in the Comtnittee of Revision on Monday
evening. When some question involving the rights
of araJlroad lo arrange an arbitrary freight tariff was
up. Mr. Toombs challenged the votes of those mem-
bers of the comnfiittee who were stockholders in iho
railroad, saying that they should not be allowed to
vote upon a question involving them from interest .
In issuing this challenge he called CoL Mathew, of
Ogletl nrpe. by name. This brought that gentleman
I promptly to his feet, aud he let fiy a sort of verbal
shouliierhitter at Mr. Toombs. Ho repelled most
sconifuUy the Insinuation that his vote could be influ-

things of an accommodating nature ' that he wjts
willinc and ready to meet that gentleman whenever.
wherevoT. and however he desired.' Mr. Toombs
stared that he simply made a legal objection to the
casting of a vote by parties interested in the decision.

The Pan Mall GazctU of Aug. 1 says: ''The
hamals or porters of Constantinople are Armenians
and Turks, and form a powerful guild. The bad
roads and narrow streets of Eastern cities are not
favorable to ordinary vehicles, consequently heavy
merchandise in bales, cases, and barrels, is slung on
poles, or placed oa the backs of porters, who struggle
through the streets undergoing a labor which could
be far more economically performed by other loco-
motive power. These porters, form a well-
disciplined trade association, which governs its
members with considerable success. To the stranger,
a string of apparently poor and needy porters in-
trusted with thousands of pounds in coin, which they
carrx- on their backs through the streets in sacks.
without any guard or surveillance, offers a curious

from the interior. He frequently stays for years in
the city, living xrith great economy, aavlng his

wife and family for a year or two, he returns to his

Francis, ' if the occupation of the street hamal is
healthy. Tho strength in some of their limbs and
certain sets of muscles is enormoua. so much so as to
affect the sjTumetry and proportions of the men, and"

The platform ftdopt«d by the Vlri^fHa Ooa
servstlve State Conventiou In Richmond on fUdsyti
as follows :
Wlttrea; The good people of the State of Wg-
cinia, represented by the Conservative I^rtv, have
been greatly concerned and agitated by representa-
tions ami misrepresentations as to what would
bo the probable action of this convention upon
the subject of the State debt, and it has be-
come vitally Important to the preservation of
the int^p^ty and harmony of the party that an au-
thoritative expression at opinion should be promol-
gnt*d upon that Question ; and, whereas, tht- futuiw
welfare, power, ana prf«perity of this Commonwealth
depend upon the eoiiTinu'*d existence and cohesion of
of the Cooservstive Party ; now, therefore, bo it re-
solved by the Conservative Party of Vli^ginia, in cou-

Firat — "xVhDe the Conser\*alivo Party, true to th«
past glorious history of Alrgftnla. and prond of her

resolved to preserve inviolate the public faith and
credit, yet we cannot but view with concf-m and
anxiety the accumolstion uf our financial diflicoltles
and the increafiiiig wei^t of our public debt. Wc.

Tho Richmond /wi^iVcrgives the lollowinc brief
sketch of the nominee for Governor : ** C<»1. Hblliday
was bom in Winchester, and is in his fiftieth year.
He is a graduate of Yale, and al«o a gradttate of* law
of the University of Virginia. He was omtor of the
Jefferson Society while a fitudent, and was subse-
quently C-ommon wealth Attorney up to IKGO. H«
commanded tlio Tliirty-thini Kegiincnt, and
lost . an arm at Ck-dar Mountain. - He
was recommended by Stonewall Jackson
for tho rank of Brigadier-tTcneral but
was unable to accept the honor, because his arm had
to be reampntated. He was in the Confederate Con-
gress in iSft:}. and has been attending to an exteo-_
sive law practice since the war- He was Elector at
laT^fe for Tilden in l*i'7G. As aman. CoL Rollidayis
universally esteemed. In morals he is one of the
purest in ihe Commonwealth. In pohtics he is sbov»
chicanery or deceit. As a citizen he hi an ornament
to his native State. He will make a Governor of
whom Vii-ginia will be prondr All honor to Fred
HoUidav.'^
Col. itolliday. In a letter on the public debt of V5r
ginia, written a year ago and lately reproduced and ^
indorsed by him. says: ''As to the State debt. Iain .
opposed to repudiation. I would not have such a
stigma cast upon ray State any more than I
would upon my private lame. But while I am
thus opposed to repudiation, for the same gnji-
eml reason I am in favor of some speedy settle-
ment of the debt honorable to our ^tatQ
and satisfactory to the creditors. This is important.
and prcssingly so : Ifoi-au-se the debt is increa.-'ing by
reason of interest, and because I believe so boon ai
we indicate a willingne.<ie and ability to pay the in-
terest promptly our bonds wtII at once go to par and
capital and population flow intf> onr borders. .AnJ
never till then- Neither is coming to a bankrupt
or a dishonest Commonwealth. And for thi« sam'?
general reason I. of course, do not wish, any more
than any one el&c. heavy taxes ; for they. ttw. prevent
the advent of capital and hilmr to our midst. And
while I am. as the Constitntifin require.*!, ii^ favor of
a unifonn rate. 1 am in favor of soeking new sul*-
jects instead of heaping bunlcns upon the landed in-
terest, oat of which at last all oar wealth and pros,
perity must grow. We all liave hope that this will
be done. The State has improved much, consider-
ing her many trials — done wonders since the war—
and a bright future is before us if we are true to our
selves and to her."*

With the black record of the unavenged Kemper

has been made to bring tbe guilty and cowardly as-
sassins to pTiuishmeat. and after their nomination 'Z
for re-election as Governor of the man directly re-

tho Democratic State Committee of Mississippi has

POLITICS IX OREOOy.
A recent letter fr om Portland, Oregon, to the
San Francisco Pott says: "Senator Mmton has
made a profound impression by a few politico ^y^
speehes, where he has reviewed the political sitoa-
tipn. showing up i» an impressive summary- ths '
' solid South ' and its especial aim*^, and tbe aimless- '
ness of tbe Northern Democra'-y. which ha< no policy
and^o politicaJ principles. We liave no man amone
us. in the absence of (jeoree H. Williams, who fonld
make a Kpecch of such force and with such convinc-
ing'effect. Kx-iSenator Williams possesses, as I con-,
sider, the very highest ability as a political, orator,
being a close and a logical rea.toner and a grapMc de-
lineator, though plain and commanding in stjdc. Aa ,
a speaker, Morton is saiuply eame-^t aud plain, not
having a very pleasin:t vnif<> or arcf nt, and seeming
to be engaged, m a quiet talk more than in an effotx
to shine as an orator. It is verv important, as laat-
ters stand, that Oregon shonid neVounted as reliably
Renublican. and it is onite beneficial to have a mm
of Mortons rank ana ability present tbe poHtieal
issues so forcibly. N^st Spring we hold a genera]
election that will fill State offices for four years,
end elect a Lesrislature. whicJi vdW have a S^naitor tc ,
r-Ie^t as successor to J. H. Mitrhell. With good
management we can be represented htrreafter by Be-
puhlii^ans in both houses of Congress, aud have Be-
publican State officers. All that>tands in the way
is the faithful hand of spoil s-seekers, who comintiaUy ^
trj- to lead the Republican Party in their own inter-v^^,^.^
estft. The State appears to be reliably Rf^pubUcan, • '
and. if no unfortunate ciintretemps occurs in the
next 10 months, will re^wrt as such in June, 1875.*'
MR. LAMAR CRITICISED. ^^
The Natchez (Miss.) Democrat expresaifre^
gret ^lat Hon. L. Q. C tismar iu some measure lost
his hold upon the respect and confidence of n^y o<
the delegates in the late Mississippi Democrstic State
Convention by the active part which he took in th*
xuatter of nominations, and the esmestneas with
which he entered into the local political affairs of tht
State. The iVmocrxU thinks that '*the position ni
United Sta tes Senator is one which should place the
Incumbent above the turmoil of local or State pol iii-
cal squabbles, and should give tu the h<dder of a
Senatorial scat a dii^nitv above electioneering for any
•favorite candidate, or even for any favorite measure
of State policy. It was through the influence of
Senator Lamar, tha DeiKocrat charge.^:!, that the con-
vention was restrained from making any declaration
in regard to that most important national question,
the national eorrency, and also from an expression
of opinion in regard to the Administration of PrasV

THJ PEKCIPLES OP 80CI0U)0T. By HxRam
V^S*\^°^ I- New-York: D. Arruam A Co.
1871. 12fflo, pp. 738.
Herbert Spencer has now rather more
than half completod the system o£ synthetio
philosophy which has bean slowly growing
under his hand during the last 17 years. He
began with the purpose of applying the law of
BTolutlon, then nowly attracting the atten-
tion of scientlflc man, to the whole field
of the kaowable. He has teemed to
sueeeed tb M. Comta aa an original
student of philosophy, as an investigator
at the laws of phenomena, as an Introdaeer of
•cientiflc method and analysis into depMrtments
of thought ai^d life hitherto subjected to differ-
ent treatment, without any servile folio wing of
M. Comte's peculiar system. The recognition
of his position as a thinker has been quicker in
this eoontry than in England. Even now there
Is hardly, any large recognition, by the conserv-
ative English journals, of the substantial merits
of his philosophy, and those who favor his
methods often declaim against his supposed
opinions. But he may be safely left to gain his
own audience. It is evident that he is rapidly
winning the younger students of .philo-
sophy, and his merits as a thinker
are such that every one must be
acquainted with his system who wishes to under-
stand the thought of the age. His strength is
In his generalliatious, in his capacity to rise
trojxx facts to the principles which rule them,
and in his encydopsaic knowledge of man and
of organic life. While many may yet be un-
willing to become his disciples, no one can read
his pages without admiring the wonderful grasp
of first principles and of the illustrative facts
which explain them. And if some of ills induc-
tions undermine or overthrow or supersede any
religious opinions which have come to
cany weight as convictions, bo much
the worse for the convictions. It cannot
be that essential truth will be injured' by this
process, because God and nature must always
agree in the last analysis, and the mast which
Mr. Spencer can do is to apply scieutlQa tests to
received opinions, and thus show what they are

bMotb of the lociety. incessantly co-opmjke in
creating new elements. Tliesa luilubacee
change and become complex as socletlesi pro-
gress in aise and stractore. This istheslplplest
analysis of sociology, and a broad ontUne of
Mr. Spencer's scheme. I
What i.^ most important and precedes all
other inquiries aro the primary data common to
social phenomena, the data most readily (Hatin-
grnlshed in the simplest societies, and including
the orlgiinal external and internal eo-opemting
canaea. Great space is given to the attempt to
put together the pre-hist^ric condition of prlmi-
tire society. The ©nTiPonment, or esrtjemal
factert, is almost purely a matter of conjeQtnre,
but the physicul, emotional, and intellectual
character of the earliest race of men can b0 esti-
mated with-compixative accuracy, and the |same
may be done for their first ideas of the *orld
without and within. But it is impossibile to
ascertein the principles of conduct which ^led
primitive life because i we cannot a.«c4rtain
the primitive system Of ihought. Mr. Spfeucer
believes that it is ponsible to reconstruct primi-
tive life so f&r as it relates to the growth of
ideas, and this is one of the most ingeniou^ and
instructive portions of his work. We cinnot
even give a synopsis of it because the djetails
are too j^^at. It is tho same field which Mr. E.
B. Trior and Sir John Lubbock have cultiirated
with distinguished fluccess, and in which all
three are students of the same facts. He traces
the primitive ideas of insensibility, death, and
the ghost, from their beginning in curl first
contact with life to the developing ideas of
another world and another life, and to the ideas
of snpernatural agents as existing on all sides.
The step from this to religious beliefs and to the
earliest attempts at reli^ous worship is di^^^t
and plain. The belief in ghosts, an a
reviving other-self, is fundamental apiong
savage people, but hardly less widely spread is
the belief in an cestbr- worship, and, as growing
out of this, the belief in idolatry and fetichism.
The belief in the transformation of men into
animals and of animals into men easily arises
from the metamorphose^ which Oome under the
notice of savages. Plant-worship and nature-
worship are equallv deviations from th^ wor-
ship or ancestors. Into this part of hisfwork
Mr. Spencer incorporates the views of PE*rof.
Milller concerning the Sun-myths, as in [treat-
ing the various forms of animism he coincides
maonly with Mr. Tylor, between whom ana him-
self there is at this moment a controjrersy
ragingastowhoftrst put forth the cnrront views
of what relieion is among savages. There fe still
more to be said in regard to ancestor-workhip.
Tho identification of the superior with ttje ai-
rine leads to the expausiion and idealization of
the human personality until the superior' man
in the tribe becomes its deity, and after death
is worshiped as such. This explains the ^rigin
of tho Aryan and early Greek gods, and of the
Scandinavian mythology. Mr. Spencer holdly
worth. This is the mission which he Is accom- ___ __ _
pushing at this moment. He has broadened thtf-s identifies Abrah&m'ft views of God as a superior
basis of our knowledge of law and of life. He\ ^^'^ -^^'^ *^^ various Semitic beliefs t^hich
has felt his way dowu to fundamental facts.
He has had the courage of his opinions and
dared to reach the conclusions to which the
facts seemed to point. All this was apparent
in his I^rst Principles, but is no less distinctly
aeen in his I*rinciples of JSiologij. and PrincipUs
of Psyehologyj. No p^ious philosophical writer
has to the same extent laid the whole material
and organic universe under contribution, and
attempted to set In order the laws of develop-
ment by which mankind have reached their
present position.
The boldness of the synthetic philosophy is
not more marked than its independence of
philosophical traditions. It is the scientific
rather than the metaphysical method which is
employed. Mr. Spencer look.s at his subject as
have been collected tosethor in his Deimpti _
Sociology, and shows that anthropomorphic in
the Deity has always been the prevailing Ik'lief,
even among civilized people, down to a late day.
A human personality has been behind every
form of religion known to man iu primitive
days. " Using tho phrase ancestoivwor^hipf"
says Mr. Spencer. ** iit ltd T>roatlest .seq.s4f. iis
comprehending all worship of the dead, be ihey
of the same blood or not, we eouclude thtjt an-
cestor-worship is the root of every religion."
Before any* criticism is pa.ssed uponj this
imaginative recoixstruction of primitive SOTiety,
we must remember that the author is not pyiu^
purposely in the face of e-^tablished belieffe, but
that ho is honestly trying to explain that society
bv a reasonable method and under the guiuance
or such facts as can be ascertained. Whatever
xcx&j be said iu re;;ard to particular points, thia
must be acknowlc-dited. that it is the most im-
portant contribiitiou to a theory of priijiitive
ideas, and especially of religiuua ideas, whidh has
a modem man. 1^ be sure, his principles have ^;et appeared. "Wo do not see how in auy [point
been gathered to some extent from other
writers. The law of organic development, that
•' evolution is always from the homogeneous to
the heterogeneous, and from the simple to the
complex," had been enunciated by Goethe,
Schelling, and Von Baer, before Mr. Spencer's
time, but its application, as the law of evolution,
to all phenomena relating to life on tho earth
ha» been his own contribution to philosophv.
Other subordinate principles had been devel-
oped by single students, but Mr. Spencer has
been the first to weld them into an organic s)*3-
tem of thought. In working out his conclu-
fiiona from these principles, as he will in sulrae-
qoent volumes of his Principles of Sociology and
la the Principlt* of Morality^ he will probably
impair, if not dei«troy, many religious and intel-
lectual systems which are based upon tho partial
Interpretation of facts; but we hold that we can
well afTord to submit to considerable disturbance
of our cherished convictions when God lets
loose a genuine thinker on this planet, and that
nobody need be in the least disturbed at the
final result. The time has amply come when
Mr. Spencer is not to be condemned because he
opposes conventional notions, but honestly or
fairly judged for what he has contributed to the
larger range of reasonable thought. He has al-
ready considerably changed our methods of ed-
ucation. Many of hi:^ essays have clearly enun-
ciated- special laws of thought or of life which
have already been generally accepted, and the
principles, both general and specific, which
a» has set forth, are rapidly gain-
ing acceptance, because they furnish the acien-
tinc reason or explanation of phenomena. His
writings have somewhat shirted the position
from which we look at current events. It is
the return to nature in philosophy and the at-
tempt to study nature freshly and., scientifically
which he constantly insists upon ; aiid this is
the direction in which advances must be made
if we are to progre.ss in the discovery of tnitlis
or obtain fresh illustrations of general lawa.
It ia the hopefulness of his philosophy which
has specially attracted our attention. It en-
lai^es the meaning of present life, and shows
how its quality may be improved. It pre-
aenta the two methods by which we
may gaixv knowledge that is reasonably exact.
It iiK^udes the knowledge which has come from
"- physiological and psychological studies. It in-
terprets the laws of life as they practically exist
It u a matter of Uttle concerh whether the re-
sults reached a^ree with the formula} of this or
that system or theology, because theology is
very largely the addition of human .speculations
to the simple truths of religion : but it is a mat-
ter of infinite concern that Mr. Spencer's secular
method of observing and co-ordinating facts
shaUnotbe impaired by any theological narrow-
ness. The whole question of evolution need
not militate against the principal points of re-
ligious belief in the least. Tho antagonism
between science and religion is chiefly the an-
tagonism between imperfect believers in both.
It will be. found when the smoke of controversy
has cleared away that Mr. Spencer has .dimply
been clearing away the many confused opinions
by aacertainlng with scientific accuracy the
exact knowledge which may be reacheil on differ-
ent points. It is the hasty generalizations of
students of religion and the infidel cry which
alazmista raise that hav^ sadly interfered with
}l&. Spencer's work, and cause many at the
present time to look upon it with su.s-
picion. Yet it is expresalv- stated for
nim that tho objectionable views once put
forth in his Social Statics have been
withdrawn, and that he is as earnest and con-
sdentions a seeker for the truth as auy other
man. That one can be an evolutioniwb^n the
scientifio sense of that law, (which is tho only
sense authorized,) and still hold to a definite and
orthodox crfce<l. Is bcginniog to be generally un-
derstood ; and that Mr. Spencer has worked on
with unflagging industcy during all these years,
when the theological clamor has beeu much
louder than it is at present, and has not swerved
from his convictions, is the crowning evidence
of the sincerity and strength of his convictions.
Bnt we have too long stood at the threshold
of his latest book, clearing the way for its ap-
preciative reception. After a statement of the,
leading generalizations which naturalists, physi-
ologists, and comparative anatomists have es-
f^hTiahtvi and after treating the general con-
nections of mind and life, and their relations to
other modes of the unknowable, Mr. Spencer
applies the law of evolution to the science of
socie^, to living beings considereil as aggre-
gates. This science, according to Prof. Huxley,
" deals with the relation of living beings ono to
another — the science which observes men —
whose experiments are made by nations one
upon another in battle-fields, whose general
propositions are eijAbodied in history', morality,
ana rcdigion, whoso deductions lead to our hap-
piness or miaery, and whose verifications so
often come too late, and serve only
•To poiiU a moral or adorn a tale.* "
This is a broad statement of the field which
Mr. Spencer covers, though the present vol-
ozne onJy introdnoea the subject, and is chiefiy
ooan;^da with the data of sociology, its induc-
tions, and the domestio relations. He calls the
work here begun super-organic evolution, in
contrast to what, In nis previous volumes, is
e^Jl^^ organic evolution, and confines himself
to tiiat form of it which human societies ex-
hibtt Iu growths, structures, functions, and
products. Among the factors of social phenom-
ena, hs introduces tim progressive modifications
of the eavironment. Inorganic and organic,
^iriilflh tft* aetiona of societies effect, the inereas*
bac sti* of tho social aggrec^ate, accom-
poltd, genenUj, by iucreasiBg. densi-
ty, and the aation and reaction ho-
:tw«a& a sedstjTftad nelsbboxtiig soeietifle. These
religious belief, which restK u^jon difTerenlj lines
of evidence from those which Mr. Spencer fol-
lows, need bo weakened or interfered witp. . It
is simply, to a great extent, a speeulali\]e and
tentative inquiry, the attempt to re<luce i vast
amount of information to its proper placebs uo
illustration of the ideas and system of life ajrnoug
the earliest peoples. It i-^ also the necdssary
starting-point for society us an organi-sni. The
law of evolutiun is as clearly illustrated : n the
tracing of tho data of sociology as by any other
natural process. Tho simple increaio of
mass is the first step in integriitiou,
and along with this increaso of mass
goes increase of coherence. "The sui erati-
tions of the primitive man are loose and incon-
sistent; different members of a tribe mak^ dif-
ferent statements, and the ^ame individual va-
ries in his interpretations as occasion sug a^ests.
Bnt in the coxirse of time the beliefs are Elabo-
rated into a well-knit system." The ghost theory,
at first limited to anomalous occurreuceM, i •' ex-
tends itself to all phenomena. The propjerties
and actions of surrounding things, as well as
the thoughts and feelings of men, are ascribed
to unseen beings, who thus constitute a! com-
bined mechanism of causation.'' By a process
of continuous Integration and differentiation
the beliefs whicli grow out of these supersli-
tions are formed into an aggrefirate which.hvhile
increasing, passes out of a loose and indefinite
shape into a deflnite and fixed belief with hiany
applications. Thus the theory of the Ct^mo"*,
beginning with titful ghost agency and eliding
with the orderly action of a uuiversal Unkjiown
Power, exeraplirtes the law of evolulioi^ ful-
filled by the sevenil ascendiug transformations.
The gra.sp of detail which is illustrated ju tho
earlier part of the work is equally e^ndentjwheu
Mr. Spencer passes to tlie inductions of so-
ciology. This new science has to give an ac-
count of aH the phenomena that result from
the combined actions of the early acquired
ideas and correlative feelings which hajre al-
ready bet^ noticed. The next step is the pro-
ceaa bjywhich successive generations of [units
are produced, reared, and brought into filtness
for co-operation. The development of the ftmily
stands next in order, and the respective \ ways
by which the fostering of offspring is infiujenced
by promiscuity, polyandry, polygyny, i and
monogamy are developed iu the concluding por-
tion of the volume. The result*; of exogamous
audeudogamous marriage, terms borrowed from
botany, are here considered, and the pi|esent
portion of the treatise ends with the treatment
of tho family as a fundamental social factOr.
The portion yet to be published will iijvolve
points of more practical interest, and will tax
Sir. Spencer's powers to the utmost. In his
view, sociology is to explain the rise and pevel-
oj)ment of political organization as it combines
tribes for action, or restrains them in dealings
with one another or with themselves. This in-
cludes all the institutions of civil govern-
ment, and the other governmental institutions,
ecclesiastical and ceremonial, simultaneously
developing. The evolutioH of ecclesiastical
structures and functions, the control enit^died
in ceremonial observances, the regulative and
operativ«^i visions of society, the kind oft gov-
ernment which keeps iu balance the actilvities
of the various industrial structures, the separa-
tion of the distributive from the productiw sys-
tem, the advances of the industrial arts them-
selves, the higher structures and functions
which belong to society, and finally the (inter-
dependence of structures and functions anid pro-
ducts taken intheir totality, are yet to be trpated,
and thus far the way is barely prepared for them.
In correlating the facts of sociologj', Mr.
Spencer enters into an elaborate paralieJiijn be-
tween the animal and the social organisio. and
applies the law of evolution to the social struc-
ture as he has previously applied it to thti vari-
ous forms of animal life. He traces jsocial
growths as physiologists trace the development
of cerebral cells. The same general law is found
in the sustaining, tlistributing, and regulating
system of the »ot;ial organism. He divid^ so^
cieties into simple, compound, and doubW- com-
pound, or, to follow the law of social evolution,
into small simple aggregates, the clustering
of these into larger aggregates, and then the
union of these clusters with others like them-
selves to form still larger aggregates. [ This
law is easily verified by observing the ^Itera-
tions of social structures that follow alterations
of social activities. Mr. Spencer brin^ a large
variety of facts to prove that this social
evolution is a pai t of evolution at
large ; that like evolving aggregates in gejieral,
societies show integration iioth by simple in-
crease of mass and by coalescence and ]^e-coa-
lescence of masses, and i then the changq from
homogeneity to heterogeneity. In studyli|g the
domestic relations, it is fiirther evident that the
regular relations of the sexes are the resists of
evolution, and that thoj sentiments upholding
them have been gradually established. MK Mc-
Xjennan, no less than Mr. Spencer, is an oiiginal
iuvesti^tor into the character of tho ^mily
and the development of blood-relationships, and
here Mr. Spencer becomes controversial iu
maintaining that Mr. McLennan claims tooimuch
for his well-known principle that the priijaitive
form of marriage was by capturing the women
of neighboring or hostile tribes. Sir l^enry
Maine enters into this controversy, and in
the event the actual origin of tKo customs
which have produced higher social types by
reaching to higher types of the sextxal relations
is likely to be better understood. The Whole
discussion i» deeply interesting, and the [ June
Fortnightly Jievieic shows that thosQ thre^ men
are sumulatit^ ono another to friendly com-
parison of opinions and facts until they shall
have revealed aU that can be known scljbiltifi-

oome ieosvictiOTi that mowMzamy has long been
growing InnAte in the civilized man, and that
aU the Ideas and sentiments which have become
associated with marriage imply the singleness
of this tmion. In the final chapters on the evo-
lution of the family which have appeared in the
June and July numbers of the Science Monthly,
however, he jnstly remarks that the wave of
change has, at the present, largely substituted
the relations of social for those of domestic life,
that the State has, to a considerable degree,
usurped the piLrental functions in respect of
children, and that this excess of family disinte-
gration la likely to be f oUowed by partial rein-
tegration.
It is impossible within the limits of a review
to give any satisfactory synopsis of a work which
is compact with condensed and exact writing,
but we have briefly indicated the value of this
treatise as a statement of the fundamental laws
of society as an organism and as a basis for the
social science which is rapidly becoming one of
the marked features of current thought It
would require space almost as ample as the v>I-
ume itself if we attempted to justify any criti-
cisms which we wished to offer, and when the
effort is so manifest as it is here to make the way
plain to the proper rehabilitation of primitive
society, and to answer generally and specifically
ten thousand questions which every one desires
to ask, we prefer to commend the clearness of
statement, the fldelity to principles, the patient
industry in collecting, and the singular skill in
using facts, and the excellence of a style which,
never dull or obscure, is always a fit vehicle for
the expression of thought. The range of study
included even In this work is marvelous, and
yet the same compactness and thoroughness is
manifest in every part. It is a book which will
iiievitably meet with more popular favor than
his previous volumes, (always excepting his
essays,) because it is less within the lines of the
exact or special sciences, and it also furnishes
an excellent illustration of the law of evolution
at work in human life.

Fouri months ago Capt. BaranofF^ of the Im-
perial Rnaaian. Xavy, pnblished a remarliable article
in the Oolos upon the late Mr. Elder's circnlar
vttSMls I and the advantage \o be derived
by his leountry from iron-elads. After attribntlng
to tho late Mr. Elder the merit, of the original in-
vention—an admission ;the partisans of Admiral
Popoff had been hitherto nomerous enough to re-
press ih Russia— Capt. Baranoft went on to say that
Russia, in hisiopinlou, required no Iron-clads stall,
neither !eir<iul|w nor obldng. According to him it had
been absolutely proved m the CMmcan War that
however strong in themselves, ships will always suc-
cumb to the heavier artillery that may be brought to
bear upon them from the shore. Aa regards com-
bat on the high seas, he was likewise in-
clined to tliink that the most powerful cuirass
had' no chance against the still more powerful
artillery Ruro to fall foul of it. Carrying this argu-
ment still further, ho advised Ms Government to
abandon the construction of iron-clads, avoid naval
battles, and confine operations at sea to the lotting
loose of a number of cruisers agftin.st the enemy's
merciiantmen. These cruisers he proposed to station
chiefly on the Pacific shore of the Russian Empire,
whence, as be expressed himself, they could easily be
sent to manretivre in the rear of any enemy likely to
be opposed tol hla country. Those naval engagements
that oould not be avoided Capt. Baranoflf preferretl
fighting with small craft, making up by agility and
■peed what they lacked iii ctiirass. and if the worst
came to the worst, easily replaced by other specimens
of the same type.'
This article having been much noticed at the time,
the author soon after the beginning of tho present
war, was given to understand by tho Admiralty that
they did not object to his trj-ing to prove by deed
what he had so eloquently advocated In print. Ac-
cor^ngly. a Tew weeks ago, the morchaot steamer
Vesta being placed at the disposal of tho enterpris-
ing officer, wits equipped for the task in hand. The
Vesta is an ordinary Iron steamer of light build,
till then employed in no more warlike fanction
than the conveyance of com and tallow from
Ruaaiau to forel^ shores. Yet, all the preparation
Capt. Baronoff tnought necessary was to take some
6-ineh mortar* on brard, to receive which the deck of
the steamer had to be strengthened. Thus slightly
armed he left Sebastopol on the 21st inst., at dawn,
and on the morning of the 23d, 35 milea from Kus-
tendje, fell iu with the Turkish iron-clad Assari
TefVlk, a formidable veasel with a 12-inch cuirass
and the-- proper complement of O-inch guns of 12
ton weight. | What made the Turk an espe-
ciaU tembl^ adversary was a speed of JO
knots an hour. Xotliing daunted b)' the dispropor-
' tion in size and strength. Captain BaranoflT fngaged
the Assari Taf%'ik without hesitation, and with a akill
and bravery worthy of his printed prophecies, main-
tained the nght for five bours. As far as can l>e
gathered from the insufficleut inteliigenc-o nlreaily
received, the A' esta's superior mantuuviiug rapaL-ily
effectually kept the Turk in check, tuough the
dUtant:e beti|reen the two vessels was vepeatedly
lessened to the spS'X' required for a telling nti« tire.
The Assarn Tefvik, t*M>, notwithstamliug tho tre-
mendous thickness of her armor, thought it discreet
to keep consljantly moving about with extraordin»ry
alertness and. spceiL At least, this ia the fonctusiou
drawn fnun the fact that tho Turkish ve<sel
in a tivo
lionrs* otn'ountor, though abun-
dantly struck by small shot, received ouly three of
the enemy'sl llalls. (hio of these s<^t*nis lo have
done little harm. The »e<'oud shot went right
through the deck, kindling' a firw which was quiekly
eilingnisbiMl. TIih third struck the turr»*l, aud
created an irapresjiioa whioh, had nut a couple of
Turkish vessHs vome to the r-'si-ue of thrir com-
rade, might have given the Vi^sta an opportunity
to do more, though crippled h'-rself. by tiiat time.
Tbe Vesta, in thi- roarne of the conllict 1i:hI been
hit by a grenade cloye to the powder magazine, and
had it not been for the rnpiti measures taken by her
comraauder. would assuredly have Iwen blown up.
Worse ttuui this, her rudder Wing struck, the vessel
could not nraperly obey the helm — a sorious draw-
hack in a flghl in which safety mainly depended upon
Cfieritv. liespitt; this, Capt. Bnrauofl" uianage^l
to hold his own until, on tht- two other
vessels coming to tho assistance of the ene-
my, he veryi wisfly deemed discretion the better
part of valor and beat a retreat. At this juncture
the Turks, pouring their shot into tHeir departing ad-
VLTsarj", intiifttcd no little damage, without, lio-iever,
clt sely following up their success. At dawn of tho
2^th. the Rallant steamer cast anchor again at .Sebii"-
topol, seriously injured, yet covered with glor>'. Of
thu orew threU oiUcers and 11 men were killed, two
officers and four mon seriously wounded, and threo
officers and 11 men slightly wounded. Amon" the
last are Capt. Baranoff and Si, Vladimir Pendfschine.
his First Lieutenant. In fact, scarcely auy escaped
unscathed. |
Thtt seuaati,on created by this encounter bt^tween
a giunt and a jdwarf will probably uot be diminished
bv the detailed reports which have yet to come In.
l/owever clumsily the iron-clad may 'have been man-
aged, there |ls tho fact of a merchantman flght-
1^ her for five hours, and Inflicting aa much damage
as she received.'
A SEBIOrS RIOT IS JAPAX.
RUSSIAN AKD BRITISH SOLDIERS FIGHTIKG
WITH CLUBS AXD STOKES IK THE STREETS
OF HOMCRA.
The Japan Oiurtts says : ** A serious fracas
occurred yesterday evening. (May-7,j in Homura,
between some british and Russian mon-ot'''.Tar'ii men.
It appears that some dozen Russians were iu the
L'nion saloon, when a couple of British 'sailors en-
tered. Some conversation took place about the
present war between Turkey and Russia, the upshot
of which was that one of the two men liail a tumbler
thrown at his head, striking aud cutting him
on the forehead, aud both he and his com-
paniou were speedily ejected from the house,
but the fight went on outside. Some more
British seamen and marines appeariuij on the spot,
the Russians retreated Into the house, and it was
thought Uie fight was ended. Unfortunately an Eng-
lish »eaman was walking where the Rassiau& were
located, aud was attacked bv live or sii men. His
comrades rallied, and an ludiscriminute fight took
place. Again tlwre was a lull, and .residents in the
neighborhood hoped the mei^e had finally ended.
But in a few moments about 40 Russians appeared
on the scene, armed with staves and stones. Catch-
ing an unfortunate marine by himself, tbey at once set
upon him. He was a tall, powerful man. and succeeded
in knociting down sovenil of his assailants with the
hncklo oml of his belt, but was eventually knocked
down himself. The fight had now become general,
for the Ru-ssians attacked all wbr) came in thi*ir way,
s«'ameu or civilian'*. Thrf;e Kren'-hmfii wlio wei-e
standing at the comer of the Cafe de rL-nivtra were
knocked down ; s-.-veral civilians wero nttack>Hl with
sticks and Mtoues. The Police had by this time ap-
peared on the scone, and in attempting to quell the
disturbance were severely handled by the Russians.
A civilian parsing by and observing a Russian sailor
about to strike a British marine with a large club, at-
tempted to wrest the weapon away, bnt got knocked
down. Another byutander saw a Russian with a
drawn knife rush madly at an Englishman to plunge
it In his breast, when a well-directed bUiw
from his fist knocked the Russian dowu. Stones and
billets of wo4)d were fiyiug about la all directions.
At length the Russians gave way and ran to the
hatoba, where their ttoats were lying, chased by the
British and a few civilians. They rondo a stand for
a few momenta ; but their officers, who had just come
on shore, at once took charge of them into the boats
and sent them o£F to the .ship. Latr^r tu the evening
a detachment from the .\udacions was sent on shore
to seek for wouudod. but. finding everj-thing quiet,
and nona of their comrades severely hurt, soon re-
turned on board. ■ The affair caused quite a commo-
tion in the settlement, and the various Cousute ap-
peared on tho spot as quickly as possible. Oa~eTElus-
siau found lying in the road was put into a jiurikisha
and conveyed to the station. Several of his com-
rades were severely wounded and taken to the hos-
pitaL"
Jlfi^. SRIGHTS VIJSWS OP WAR AXD LABOR.
The IvondoD. Ttmea of July 30 says: "There
was an occurrence of a rather novel description at
Rochdale on Saturday afternoon. The co-operators
of Leeds and Bradford organized a special trip to
Rochdale for the porpose of inspecting the large
central co-operative stores iu Toad-lane ; but the
greatest attraction was that permission hid been
obtained from Mr. John Bright to visit his gardens
and grounds at ' Gne Ash, ' which is situated on the
ontslorta of the town. The groauds are larger
than might bo imagined from the comparative-
Jv unpretending exterior of the establtshment.
Tlie landscape gardener has certainly exori!iHod his
ingenuity, for hill and dale and winding walks are
very prettily represented in miniature. Hiwing at-
tained - the highest plateau, the excursionists found
themselves in close proximity to the hons^i. the ex-
terior of whicb they minutely inspected. The stmc-
tnre is an extensive bnlldlng of brick, with fine, large
bay windows, and the whole has a neat and comforta-
ble appearance. Although it stands Idgh it U wf-U
shaded by trees. Mr. Bright mado his appearance

Mr. Bright, hearing an obser\-ation with respect "to
the war In the East, remarked that no class of per-
sons had greater rea.son to be in favor of peace than
those people who worked for weekly wages. There
was no doubt that tlie war seriously affected trade,
but still, it would be worse if this country took part
in it, and last longer. Ivwas always discovered five
or ten years after a war Riat the reason had not been
sufficient for the aacriilce of life and tlie waste of

Leeds, expressed the thanks of the party to Mr.
Bright for kindly allowing them to visit his gronuds,
aud above ail for addressing them. Mr. John Speed,
in seconding the vote of thanks, referred to being in
London at a meeting in 184*2. which was addressed
by Mr. Bri^ihi, Mr. Oobden, and CoL Thompson. The

"TRE DUCEESS OF DEVOXSWIRE:'
QADTSBOROUGH'S FAMOUS PICTURE — ITS DIS-
APPEARANCE—A PORTRAIT CLAIMIKG TO
BE THE LOST TREASURE NOW ON EXHI-
BITION IN LONDON — POINTS OF DIPFER-
EKCE KOTED.
Frmn the London Times, July 3Q.
A picture claiming to be " Gainsborough's re-
nowned portrait of the ' Duchess of Devonshire ' " is
exhibited at the Byron Gallery, Kb. 26 Savile-row,
which resembles very closely the x>ortrait that became
BO notorious last year when sold in the Wj-nn Ellis
sale for the enormous price of £10,000, and within
three weeks afterward was stolen in the night (May
25-6) from tho exhibition -room of Messrs. Agnew, in
Old Bond-street. The mystery of that robbery re-
mains still uneiplain^ and no approach
to its solution seems to be derivable from
the somewhat .sudden appearance of the picture now
before the public, which is e\'1dently not the
same, although clearly a portrait of the same peraon.
whether she be the beautiful Gteorgiana, Duchess of
Devonshire, or some one else. The canvas, in the
first place, is larger, being 62 inches high by 46 inches
wide, while that of the missing picture was 59^
inches high by 45 inches wide. The picture has
never been lined, the other had been. This picture
is very much cracked all over, the paint being ready
almost to drop off in some places, and it has evidently
peeled off. and the canvas has been repainted, besides
being also repainted or toncbed up in
parts where the paint has not fallen off the
canvas. The lost portrait was very much cracked,
but, having been lined, these cracks did not give the
" cackled surface which this picture shows all over
it, and which Is accounted for by the fact that It has
been rolled up and unrolled repeatedly, according to
the accotint given of the picture by thtj owner, who
is a Mr. John Poster. This portrait, like the missing
one, represents a handsome ladv with full, curly, aud
powdered hair, in a broad black hat and black feathers,
the head turned three-quarters to the right,
with the eyes directed toward the spectator, the fig-
ure seen only to a little below the Inaees, the arms
folded at the waist, showing the left arm and hand
only. As to the details, there is the same red rose in.
the front of tho dress, but she holds a rosebud also :
the ample blue sash, the blue ribbon in the hat. and
the paler blue petticoat and white skirt are as in the
lost pirture. There are, however, certain differences
Which will be remarked ; the complexion is not so
fforid, and the lips are not so red as in the missinj;
picture, while the hand ismucb more finished, though
certainly U".* likt* the facile sketchy work of
Gainsborough than in the other picture.
and in the touching of the lace cuff
there is obviously recent painting. The foliage
of the backgniund has also verv little of tiie Gains-
borough character. Remembering the great differ-
ence of opinion expressed «■* to tJie nntlicnticity of
the missing picture, the pretensions of tliis p'irt'rait
to bo the ori;;inal nf whirii that was a rcpUca iixv very
likely to be equally disputed aud ac<'opt<Kl. IJotli
pictures lijtve certainly been rather freely "improved '
uy the restorer. who. in the case of the inissing ono. it
has been po.'<itively a-sserted was no less a painter
than Sir Thomas IJiwreuce. who venttired to finish a
lM)rtniit which frainsborough had h-ft uncoraplt^ted
and renounced as a failure. As regards thv i>orsnn
represcnteii auy one may now satisfy himself by hiok-
ing at the portrait of Georgiana. Du'rhess of Devon-
i-hire. by Gainsborough, belonging to Earl Spencer,
now tompurarUy plact-d, witli othei-s nf the Allhorjitj
collectiou. in the Sonth Kensington Museum. Pi-ob-
ably uio«t ]M-rfions will agree that the portr.iit. now
first exhibited, Tciuld not have been painted from the
same |K*rson. However, there can ho little doubt
that this picture, newly brotight to light, like the
missing one. closely resembles the portrait ou.rntved
by Mr. Robert Grave"*, which was taken from that be-
hiaging to Viscount Clifden, always called Geor,^i::na.
Duchess of Devonshire. As to the history of
the present portrait, we are told that it was painted
for the Duchess, and presented to Mr. John Caven-
dish Foster, the father of the Mr. Foster who now
possesses it, and who tonk it rolled up with him to
Australia, where it has been for many years, and. it
is said, was once stolen while it was rolled up Bud In-
belled "Mr. Foster's Fishing-rods." .^iccording to
this story it was discovered afterward by tho Police
on the quay, about to be put onboard the steamer,
^vith a name upon the packages which none of
the passengers would own to. This much.
idso, is known about the picture that it
was in London at the time the Leeds Exhibition
was being organized, in 1867, and was offered
for exhibition, seen by the Commiasloner. and a**-
cepted,, hut not exhibited, because the owner re-
quired it to bo purchased for the purpose. Siuce
then it has. we aro told, mnde another voyi^e to
Australia, and been brought back In ctmsequence of
the tempting price paid for the picture which disap-
peared in such an extraordinary manner. Many will,
pcrhairt. remember the rumor that the stolen picture
had been found about this time la«t v-^ar. in
some out-of-the-way broker's shop in Yorkshire, and
bad b«*en shown to a gentleman at the Midl.'ind Rail-
way Terminus in Loudon, who said it was exactly
like the lost picture, and ga.ve Information rfbout it.
Can this be that picture, or is it possible there is still
another "claimant " in the background T
FRIEXDS MI:STAKEy FOR FOES.
According to the English papers of July 30,
great commotion was caused throughout the king-
dom by the following information telegraphed by
the news agencies on Saturday, the 2dth : " A tele-
gram was n*c«?ived from._the Privy Council Office by
the Town Clerk this afternoon, stating that informa-
tion had reached that department of the reported
prevalence of Colorado beetles in Hereford, and
requesting that an immediate investigation should
be instituted. Accordingly the Mayor and
Town Ch'rk. Superintendent of Police, and other
public official*, commenced a strict investigation
all the afternoon. It was soon found that the insects
had appeared In several parts of the city, and it was
a slgnincant fact that they existed in the vicinity of
the two' railway stations, 'principally near the goods
traffic department, thus strenthening the theorr of
importation. Xumbers of specimens in various
stages of development were collected and subjected
to a microscopical examiuarioc. but they were found
to be smaller than the published representations,
being evidently younger, and were of various shapes,
according to tlie stages of development. These
caused some perplexity, but there is littlo doubt
that the spccinitns first discovered are saraplos of
the l»eetlc. In color, form, and size they corre-
S])onil with tlio plates. Tlie lengths of tho -sperimi-ns
vurj-froiu ihrci'-oighthsto hidr' an inch. The authr.ri-
ties couteinplato forwarding speeimeus to the Privy
Council. They have as yet come to no determJuation
as to the methods of extermination, owing to the ex-
tent to which the insect abounds. -Meanwhile the ex-
citement is very great, and every facility is affoi-ded
the authorities iu carrymg out their investigations.
It is supposed that the beetles were imported with
American seed potatoes."
The Hereford Journal of the following day says
there was no foundation for the alarm, as the in-
sect on investigation, turned out to be the seven-
spotted ladybiri tlie fanner's very best friend, which
lives upon the aphis, and, by devouriag .blight, is the
protector of vegetation.
MR. AXD MRS, CRAPOS PERILOUS TOXAGE.
The London *SVaMdard of July 30 says: "A
novel feature in the programme of Saturday was the
exhibition la the Central Hall by Captain and Mrs.
Crapo of the little boat in which they recently
crossed the Atlantic Descriptions are given by both
Captain and Mrs. Crapo of ■ the incidents attend-
ing their voyage. The Captain, in reciting
the vicissitudes of the -voyage, said that tho
tempestuous times wer^-=those when he got
most rest, for when favorable winds prevailed
he could not leave the helm for a moment. Once he
kept at his post 70 hours consecutivelv. His wife
scarcely had a night's rest during tho whole voyaga,
for there was hardly room to "fling a cat' in tlie
cabin, whlcli is scarcely four and a half feet in len^h.
Upon two or three occasions they found themselves
in a shoal of whales, which spouted aud blustered,
and frightened his wife a great deal The rud-
der of the little craft broke in a gale of
wind, th#^ main-sheet traveler having been
carried away two or three days before. Of the
severity of t-ho ton.'Jion of the hand in
steering for so many coiisecutire hours there is
X>roof iu the spniined ■wrist, and whenever sb'ep w;h
to be hoped for tho boat had to be hovo to. Westerly
winds prevailed throughout the voyage. Mrs. Crapo
has crossed the ocean before in merchant ships. The
Captain confesses that his late task lias been a good
deal rougher tlian he looked for, and admits that he
risked the peril because he thought he could make a
little money out of it. He wanted to stirpass all who
bad done similar things. It was estimated tliat
nearly 10,000 persons \-isited the palace and parit
during the day and evening.''
PRINCES MORQAXATICALLY MARRIED.
The France enumerates the Princes who have
made morganatic marriages. The King of Portugal,
the Duke of .Saxe-Coburg Gotha, the reigning Duke of
Saxc-^ieiningcn, and the Prince Louis of Bavaria
have all taken their wives from the stage, whence one
of the Czar's sons, the Grand Duke Alexis, is said
also to have taken the partner of his joys. Among
the princelings and atigustioli who have married
English ladles are a Saxe- Weimar, a Monaco, and a

MR. GLADSTOKZ'S TIEWS— HE DOUBTS THE
STATEMENTS ISSUED BY THE PORTE — ,
FALSEHOOD THE MAINSPRING OP OTTO-
3tAN OFFICIAL SPEECH — A FULL EXHIBI-
TION OP FACTS NECESSART BEFORE
JUDGMENT IS PASSED ON RUSSIA.
The August number of the Nineteenth Cetttury
contains an article by Mr. Gladstone on " Aggreesion
on Egypt," In which he combats the arguments in
favor of seizure or occupation of that country. Iu the
course of It he incidentally refers as follows to the
allegations of Rtiuian and Bttlgariau barbarities in
Korthem Turkey :
"Among secondary, bnt still very weizhtj-. reasons
why wo ought not to have left^o tho s^de charge of
Russia a European responsibiutv, w.-is the Uigh likeli-
hood, to say tho least, that in Sulgaria, at any rate,
-the operations of the war would bo tainted
with barbarity. It m-iy have h<*en, observed
that we have no ttTistworihy evidence to
show that this coutingency hns l>ee^ rcaliiod
on the Rnssiau side in the *Anneniati campaign;
and in that eountiy the war Iiad not been pre-
ceded by any but the nonnal misconduct of the gov-
erning power. But upon the south bank of the Dan-
ube the land bristled with stinging and exasperating
recollections. The Bulgarians are men, as I believe, of
at any rate tho average humanity of Christendom; but
had they foregone every opportiinitv of retaliation
after the frightful massacres of 1:^70. they would
hax'e been angels. For weeks past the Porte has
published official accounts of cruelties InSicled on the
Mohammedan population ; cruelties very far short
of those which it had Itself commanded nil J rewarded,
but still utterly detestable. To these utteumces,
except by a few fanatics, little heed was given : for
the world had learned, on conclusive evidence, that
the arts of falsehood have T»<?eived a itortentous
development in Turkey, and have become the
very basis and mainspring, so to say, of Ottoman
efficial speech. As late aa on the 15th of July the
correspondent of the Daily Xacs—aMd the title Is
now one of just authority— declared his conviction
thst there had not then been a single case in Bul-
garia of per&onal maltreatment of a Turkish civilian
by a Russian soldier. I can hartily iione this is now
the fact. While I have Uttle fear tuat there has
been on the part of Russixins widoly-extended cruelty,
there must he among tliem, at least here and there.
ruffians whom discipline will ill restrain : and
we have also to b«ar in mind the diversity
of races and civilizations in their Army. The
subject is one that calls for the closest attention.
We have first to wait, as we waited last year, for a
full exhibition of the facts ; and then, without re-
spect of persona, to estimate them as they deserve.
Above all we shall then have to observe, and honest-
ly to appreciate, the conduct of the Russian Govern-
ment in reference to proved barbarity. I have shown
at large that the essence of the case of 1870 lies. n(9t
in the mas^iacres themselves, bnt in the ,f^nauct of
the Porte about the massacres : the falsehoi^d, the
chicane, tho mockery and pen-ersion of justice, the
denial of redress, the ■ neglect and prinisbment
of the good Mohammedans, and finally the rewards
and promotions of the bad. in pretty close propor-
tions to their badness. If the Ru«sian Government
descends to The same guilt, I heanily hope it vrili l>e
covered with the same, or more th:iii the *:anie. in-
frimy. But if it artiveiy assists or boldly undertakes
tlie detci'tiou of crime, if. above all. it indicts prompt
and condign punishment on the offeiidfr>.. of what-
ever laud or rai'c they be. it will then have done all
that such a woeful case admits to clear its own char-
acter, and to \indieate the honor of Christian civili-
zation.''

RUSSLVN AND TURKISH LINES— THE LET-
TERS OF NEWSPAPEP. CORRESPONDENTS
TAMPERED WITH JOURNALISTS WHO
CURRY F.-VVOR BY SENDING SUCH NEWS
AS THE AUTHORITIES- DICT.VTE.
The correspondent of the London Times
wrote as follows on July 25, from Pora :
" For the last day or two we have been chiefly oc*
cupied listening to stories of mrfsacre of the regula-
tion t>-pe now so painfully familiar to English ears,
and differing Uttle from one another except that
.iceording to anti-Turks, they are connuitteil by Ba^hi-
I<Bzouks and otjier Mussulmans : acrorUiug to philo-
Turks. by Bulgarian-* and Russians. I have
little dcut.t that some of these stories are utter
tictions. invented for political, .financial. or
sensational puri.>ose5t, some of them gros< exaggera-
tions little better than fictions, some unfortunately
true. Tiiat eiti;or side ha^ a monopoly of massacre
is on the face of it improbable, since eacli act of bar-
barity immwP.atc-ly invites reprisals; but. from a
comparison of cOndiciiug account*. I am iiiclinod to
think that the offenders on both sides arv irregulars
and camp followeni, and tuat regulars have so far
been behaving well.
■'■ From amass of information volunteered on all
sides. I have now and theu the luck to get hold of
.something really atithentlc and trustworthy, or rather
something which I personally knovv to be tmstwor-
thy, and' the only dlKculty lies iu d^terniining
whether this somethiug mtist be considered excep-
tional or representative. ^Vhtu. for instance. I
learn, on uuitupoachable evidence, that intwoortliree
places, however badly Bulgarians aud camp-foUowers
may behave, the RussLtn troops conduct themselves
well, and that in other places precisely the «ame
distinction is made between Basiii-Bazouks and Turk-
ish regulars, may one venture to t.ike these aa sam-
plea of the general behavior on both sides, or do they
happen to be exceptions worth little iu face or a
mass of stories which I cannot verify telling the
other way/ Your readers can answer this question
as well a4 I. Thtjy have only to bervr in ndnd that the
manufacture of atrocities. Russdan aud Turkish, has
C'>me to-be a distinct bxtsiuess liero, and
to wliJii l.-ngtVis it is sometinn'S carried mar
be inferred ^'TTrom the fact that a telegram
crammed I'ull ot" Russian atrocities was actua21y
drawu up for uuo cnrre<ipondeut without his knowl-
edge, aiid his landlord half coaxed, half buil;.*d
iniu forging his name to it. though by what we will
caii a stratagem, fair in sucli warfnr^, the ttrle-
gram was at tlie last moiueut stoppe>i. 1 know
the correspondent personally, ."^iid am only prevented
fnnn giving his name and that of his paper — aa
important "London journal — by the fear of com-
promising him iu tlie- eyes of tlie authorities, on
whom his position, perhaps his safetj*. depends. This,
one may well believe, as well as hope, is an exag-
gei-ated instance of atrocity -mongcring. but in other
ways it goes on ataong otherwise perfectly honest
men. They ttim. bewildered and dh^gusted. fi-omthe
mass of contradictory evidence presented to them.
aud, in despair, end by believing w;u-tt naturally
thev are predisposed to believe — namely, pretty
nearly everything that "telis for their own party,
little or nothing that tells against It. F.%-en
ofBcial reports, written with the fidle«;t sense of re-
sponsibilitv, present and future, canuot alw.iys be
trusted. 5»'ot that the writers, ustuuly gentlemen
with a character and position at stake, have the de-
Iiber.ite intention to deceive: but either they ap-
proach the inquiiy with a parti pris. or they have the
sole or easiest access to so tii ces of iiiformaiiou from
whic}i thev see only one side.
• "In Constant iuoule the mannfactui'e of Turkish
atrocities is, perliups. ou the whole, nearly as brisk
!is tbattif Russian. The only advautai^e enjoyed by
the philo-Turk is thnt Russian atrocities can be tele-
graphed direct from Pera. and this naturally is a great
temptutiou to correspondents laudably anxious to
be early with news ; while Turkish atrocities must
wait until sent by letter to Syra. and thence tele-
graphed on. so that before re.iching London they
are comparatively stale. I was able, lor in.stance, to
tell you last Sunday about the correspondents who
sign'etl a circular to the effect that they had with
their own eves seen Mussulman women aud children
with wounds indicted by lances, aud who told them
that the Russians and BtUgarians had been guiltv
•if gi-eat barbarii/: but it will take mcjust a week
longer to tell you that Bashi-Bazouks have bden
guilty of great savagery at Yeni-Sagbra. This, how-
ever.'here in Constantinople, is. aft<?r all, only a
question of thne, and no harm need be done if your
readers will kindly remember th.U my Turkish atro-
citie's must always aiTive a week or so later than my
Rnssian crimes :* bnt in the Froviucea, where the
officials control uot m--'P-'ly teiCgrams. but even
letters of correspondents, none bat R:is-
sian atrocities can be sent In .any way, and the
more of these the correspondent semis, the higher the
favor he enjoys, and the greater the facilities given
him tor inonng from place to place and transmitting
news. This has led in some instauc-s to verj' ignoble
bidding for ofl;c::tl patronage and protection. I am
told, on perfectly trustworthy testimony, of one
correspondent who offered to .«end whatever ths
nuthurities liked : ther might, if Ihey so pleased,
dictate his letters, if. in return. they
would give him advantages not conceded to
the rest of his professional brcihren. Another
correspondent stooped to the trick of altering :i let-
ter intended for a Loudon paper without the writer's
kuowl-.-d u, thouglL, of cc-tirso. with the connivance
of the Turkish authorities, and prcsnm.ibly to. curry
favor with them. In this pariicnl.nr instance the
trick was detected through the mistake of taking
into his confidence a correspondetit who happened to
be a gentleman ; but how often it has been tried or
succ^edeil in other iustances there is uo means of as-
certsiniug.
"One may hope tliat this tampering with letters,
like the forging o^ telegrams, is an exctjption to the
rule : but. nevertheless, at best, and where no dishun-
£-sty is practiced, it is very difficult, perhaps impossi-
ble.' for Correspondents distinctly recognized as such,
to transmit from the provinces any news not favora-
ble to the Turks, Hence from that side you may
expect none but Russian and Bulgarian atrocitie<i.
just .OS from tl<e Russian side you, I suppose, get
nothing bat Turkish deeds of shame. However,
after everj- allowance is made for Invention and ex-
aggeration, there can. I fear, be no doubt th.at hor-
rible cruelties aro committed, and that there is great
danger of a civil war of extermination."

Another disaster in the Indian country is
Ihidcd to the humiliating record which the
United States has made in its dealings with
ttie Xez Perces. If the penalty fell on those
who deserved it, there would be a certain
degree of poetic justice in the spectacle of
a great nation like our own liaffled in its
attempts to bring to peaceful terms a tribe
or Indians whom it has for years cheated,
persecuted, and plundered. The Nez
JE'erees learned most of the skill they show
in fighting while engaged in de-
fending the intereste of the United States,
and they are now employing it in an attempt
to preserve their land from whites whom
the National Grovemment is bound to drive
away. Their struggle is, of course, a hope-
less one, and sooner or later they will be
crashed out ; but their cause is essentially a
good one. It adds incalculable bitterness to
the regret with which the couiltry witnesses
the misfortunes of its soldiers to know that
they afe suffering for the neglect or the
treachery and greed of those who escape
soot free.
There is naturally a good deal'^of disetis-
Siion in commercial circles as tb the pros-
pects of trade for the Fall, and it seems
to be expected that there will be a
considerable revival of trade at that
time; but it is too early to form more than
a general impression regarding the current
of Opinion on this subject. The tendency
of the bsuik reserves to diminish is not
•hown in last week's averages, the surplus
rfbove th& legal requirements hav-
ing increased slightly as compared
with the previous week : the rates of dis-
count continUB low and the demand for
money light. Prices of stocks, however,
■how some improvement, and there is un-
doubtedly some tendency on the part of
outside capitalists to take railway shares,
which, with the prospect of a large crop
movement, and with the advantage, which
the roads enjoy, of having withstood with-
out decline the adverse influence of the
■tribes, encourages such investments. Mean-
whfle, as we have said, the general expecta-
tion as to the Fall is cheerful. In this con-
Dsction, some facts regarding the sugar
^rade which we publish this morning will
bo read with interest. That trade has been
made the subject, within a few days, of -a
pretentious " canard," which the authorities
in the business pronounce too ridiculous to
b© harmful.
A correspondent from Atlanta, Ga., whose
opportrmities for observing the every-day
life of the people of the State have been
unusually good, gives some interesting state-
ments regarding the tendency to separation
between the whites and the blacks. This
has gone so far that the blacks are de-
manding teachers of their own race in
place of the admirable ones furnished by
the American Missionary Association; The
mdvemeht is an unfortunate ' one, and can-
not possibly succeed, and though the blacks
are subjected, in some instances, to ex-
treme provocation, they will Jeam by ex-
perience that they will get the worst of any
attempt at a struggle of this character.
They are too weak in numbers, in instruc-
f jon, in money, and in resources of every
kind, to form a self-sustaining and exclusive
portion of the community. The only hope
tor the best interests of both races in sJl the
Bonthern States is to try and lire together
peaceably, and to learn" as fast as possible
to respect etich other's rights. That the
process will be a tedious one for the colored
SWpUao ea« deabta: but it ]iM bscocm
Beeessarjr, and any general eflptt'st sep-
arating interests will only make {the end
more difBeolt to attain.
If the MacMahon Grovemment it not pre-
paring the French people for a de :laration
of ~ martial law, the anti-republici n news-
papers are certainly doing so. W th com-
plete gravity, and with a matt< Ir-of-f act
style of approval wMoh is quite appalling,
the royalist and imperialist organs discuss
this proposed measure as if it were already
determined upon. It seems monstipus that
in a time of profound peace, wihen the
■vigilant government does not even pre-
tend to fear , armed plots or civil
war, martial law should be declared.
One clerical, reactionary journal, ths Univers,
assumes that a state of siege will be ( leclared,
and that the Cabinet have votelitby5to
4. This paper believes that maipial law
should prevail, in order " that the
may vote freely and be uninfluencei by the
falsehoods of the Badical prop: Uganda."
This is delightfully incoherent ; but it is the
sort of talk which is calculated to [amiliar-
ize the minds of Frenchmen with |he most
extreme measures to come.
The Georgia Convention has decSded by a
nearly unanimous vote — 1G6 to L5 — ^that
it will not aUow the bonds which i ; alleges
to be fraudulent to be submitted td a court.
It had already refused to receive &n argu-
ment prepared for the bondholdei 9 by the
venerable Jebe Black, or to hear i verbal
statement from the Democratic ex -Senator
Norwood. In a question of the pocket po-
litical prejudices are not allowei to in-
terfere. And when ex-Gov. Jes^kiks pro-
posed simply that the validity of tl e bonds
be submitted to a Democratic court, with-
out the right of appeal, Mr. EobeeI TooiiBS
fought the suggestion with success. His
main argument against the bondhol lers was
an impudent one, and was that t! le State
Government which issued them Wi ,s forced
upon Georgia by bayonets, and ihat the
State was not bound to recognize any of its
acts. He professed himself willin, f to pro-
vide for paying any of the bonds f i >r which
the State received any consideration, though
he said nothing as to how even that fact was
to be ascertained. The bonds thu«| repudi-
ated are about $3,000,000 in amount.
They have never been declared ft ludulent
or illegal by the courts of the Statt . They
have simply been condemned by tl e Legis-
lature, and afterward by a popul ir vote.
This last act of the convention fii [ally dis-
poses of them. It is, of course, n iked re-
pudiation and rascality. They caU*it in
Georgia ' ' nailing the coffin of Radical recon-
struction," bunt will be^ouad that the
good name of Georgia lies in the gr^ve.
SEPCBLICAX EEORGAMZAflOX.
The question which is among tpe most
important presented to the Eepublican
Party at the elections this year isijwhether
it can supply from its ranks men Ikble and
Willing to do the work of the ofScfe-holders
who have been withdrawn, and lo do it
efficiently and successfully. It ■would be
idle to deny the advantages which me party
has heretofore enjoyed from the services of
Federal employes in the drudgery of ipolitical
campaigns, and from their contribntionsto
the funds necessarily employed at sulh times.
Whether these advantages have not been
more than counterbalanced by disadvan-
tages flowi^ from the same scou^ce is a
matter regarding which there are diterences
of opinion. The most serious difficulty to
which the system has given rise isl the ex-
clusion, voluntary or otherwise, of disinter-
ested workers from the management of the
party. That this has taken place, and
that it has gone far toward dem )ralizing
the party, and producing the reverse s which
have overtaken us within the last f oi ir years,
cannot be doubted. The trouble las been
greater in some sections than in others, but
it has been greatest where Federa patron-
age has been largest, and \vhere it ' las been
most generally used for the manipu Lation of
party affairs. It remains to be seen [whether
this demoralization has been complete,
whether the party contains enough sin-
cere and energetic men Tvho are
willing to give time and means
to its service to carry its p 'inciples
to success. That is a point which jan only
be settled by the members of the i arty for
themselves. We have seen it demo astrated
that under the old system of man igement
the party was losing ground ; that, lowever
valuable were the services of the official
organizers and contributors, they i rere not
sufficient to keep the old-time ms jorities.
We must now win with the new sy item, or
we must give up the struggle. Th it is the
plain, sensible, practical view of tl e imme-
diate situation.
We have already frequently poii ted out
that the early victories of our pa -ty were
achieved with resources of the ss me kind
as those on which we are now cal ed upon
to rely. There was certainly no paid corps
of " workers" in the ranks of the Eepubli-
cans who brought the free States one by
one into line and wrung tj^e National?5overn-
ment from the desperate grasp of ti le slave-
holders' party. On the contrary, ;hat mo-
mentous triumph was reached by v )luntary
service pitted against the most skillful
and relentless application of tio sys-
tem of patronage. Lideed, the sj stem of
patronage was to a great extent use 1 by the
Southern leaders as their chief and best
means of retaining the alliajice of tl e i« orth-
ern Democracy. It was not the L iventiou
of those leaders, .for it is a vicious
development in all democratic govern-
ment ; but it was never before i o inge-
niously used or so relentlessly peri isted in
as by the compact and cunning baud of
politicians who guided the political fortunes
of the slave power. It is well WJrth. re-
membering now that this use of offices as a
political instrumentality offended be con-
science and aroused the indi^aatio a of the
people, and contriblited in no smal 1 degree
to the success of the Itepublicab move-
ment. That movement was recjognized
as -a revolt against a "vulgar : kn<^ in-
sulting tyranny, which employed he tax-
payers' money and the powers of re present-
ative government to repress or per rert the
popular will. And the fate which was vis-
ited upon the anterlf ar X)fimocraoy, invited,
as it was, by a betrayal of poUtieal trust, is
one which sooner or later mus ; eiime
to any political organization whic] l relies
upon patronage and not oi. con-
viction for its principal moti^ve power.
The BepubUcan Party has, siiLce the
h«ttt«d alf tugole orer reoenstruotioA, relied
tooiUrgelyon this false support, and it now
sees that the reed was bending if not break-
ing; It is the duty bf those who believe in
the usefulness of the party, in the sound-
ness of its principles, and the essential
value io free government of the purposes it
entertains, to come forward and take up the
woi|k under which the old system was ob-
■vio^sly giving way.
Andl there is another, and, in this State, a
very important reason why the sincere
friends of the BepubUcan cause should take
up the! task of political activity promptly
and with vigor. It Is, that if they do not do
80, the party machinery will fall into hands
quite as bad as those which have heretofore
controlled it, and possibly much worse. It
shoiild not be forgotten that the spoils sys-
tem appeals not only to office-hold-
ers but to office-hunters, and that
while the former have been used to regard
control of the "machine" as a necessary
condition to retaining their positions, the
latter have sought to get hold of the "ma-
chine " as a means of reaching office. Of
the itwo sets of politicians, the former have
usually been far the most respectable and
the|mc|st responsible. Now that the Presi-
dent's I order requires them to withdraw
£roih active political work, the office-seekers
are! stjill left free to try to seize the
party organizations, and in this State, at
least, t;hey have ample motives for doing so.
In the first place, this class of men, led by
leaders who are "reformers" by profession
only, and who are as deeply involved in all
the abuses of the spoils system as any lot of
political schemers in the land, have no idea
that the recent order is to be permanently
enforced. They cannot imderstand it as
anything but a move in a political game,
intended to cripple one clique and to
give an opportunity to its rivals, and they
aupeaij confident that when they have them-
selves Seized this opportunity, the restriction
will be quietly ignored, and they will enter
on thi full enjoyment of both place and
power: In this they wiU be mistaken. The
Administration could not carry out a scheme
of hypbcrisy so shameless and contemptible,
if it were disposed to do so, as it is not.
But that fact wUl not prevent the clique wo
refer t^sliom doing their utmost to get hold
of the share in the organization which the
Federal employes are surrendering.
Andj to be plain, there is another motive*
for this attempt. The Tammany leaders
see in the temporary disadvantage to which
the Eepttblicans are subjected a chance to
put tlieir own allies in power, and to re-
establish the instrumentality through'
which; they have already onee done so
much harm — Tammany Eepublieanism.
0<ir readers know only too well
what that was, what mischief it worked,
and how much it added to the difficulty of
disl|}dging from power the Four Thieves
who then represented the Tammany King.
It is a substantial and present danger that
thelRfepublican organization in this State
may a^in fall under the influence of a sim-

SCSSIA UXVEILED.
Mystery has always been regarded as es-
senl iali to success both in polities and in
and it doubtless is so, provided the
mysltery can be kept inviolate. The great-
ness of Russia is merely a kind of political
"Spectre of the Brocken" — the shadow of
an ordinary State magnified a thousandfold
by its reflection upon a cloud of impenetra-
ble niystery. To do as the Emperor XlcH-
OLAS did — to maintain a mighty Army, to
lolate indistinct rumors of its irresistible
strength, and never to go to war with any
—is an admirable plan if it can be ear-
out to the end ; but this, unhappily, is
what it cannot. Sooner or later some
unmannerly intrusion of hard fact — a
Danubian campaign, a Polish insurrection,
Crimean war — rends the veil, and re-
veals that these irresistible hosts can
die ii be kUled like other men, that their
ers blunder or neglect their duty as
eommqn mortals might do, and their army
couiTaetors supply stale bread, diseased
meat, ! shoddv uniforms, and sanded gun-
powder, in the same way as any otner army
:ra<;tors outside the magic cii-cle. One
the! periodical rents in Russia's veil of
mystery has just been made by Osmax
Pas la's cannon ; and, as in the case of the
Veiled Prophet of Khorassan, very ugly
things are beginning to show themselves
through the gap. Two all bu.t successful
campaigns ruined by fla^auE incapacity,
fom splendid armies helping each other to
do t othing, provisions running short close
to a jlins of railway, a vast suj)e-
riortyl of numbers rendered un-
availLug by want of coaeeutration,
gaQint soldiei-s dying like sheep from want
of proper food and proper ventUation,
thousands of brave men sent to certain
death ^rom sheer lack of supports to hold
what they had won — ^these are facts which
■will give Russia's military prestige a heavier
bloy than the loss of a dozen Sevastopols.
In a word, the battle of Plevna and its re-
sults exactly realize the story of Don
Quixote, who, having fitted his helmet with
a pasteboaid visor, tested the latter with a
good syord-stroko, and by that one blow
destroyed the fruit of sis weeks' labor.
But the ominous feature of this great re-
verse is not so much the disaster itself as
the fact of its having had power to stun into
monientary ina'^tion the most distant detach-
ments of the invading army. To find a par-
allel toj such sudden and universal panic we
must go back to the victory of Fredeeick the
Gre^t at Leathen in 1757, which ruined at
one jbldw all the successes of the Austrians
both in Saxony and Silesia, drove them
headlong over the frontier, and caused the
surrender of Breslau and several other for-
tified towns. That the mere repulse of a
hasty attack made by a small force upon a
larg^ one, strongly intrenched, should have
had power to shake the whole Eussian
Army, shows that there is something radi-
cally wrong, and that something is want of
iMa&i»aif» becvveeit offiaers and msn. Ho
one ean look at the hard, patient, stolid, un-
yielding face of the Bnsslan grenadier with-
ont seeing at a glance -that such a man, if he
have but full trust in those who lead him,
■will be ready, in his stubborn courage and
native instinct of obedience, to go anywhere
and do anything. But let him once begin to
feel that he is ill commanded, and that he
and his comrades are being sacrificed to no
purpose, and he loses heart altogether.
Kor is Russia's military strength, despite
her prominent figure on the world's map,
specially imposing when seen by the light of
imparial arithmetic. The population of
the wiole Empire, from Kamtchatka to the
bordei- of Germany, is only 80,000,000 ;
and tntis the present " war establishment "
of ,50,275 officers, and 1,771,387 rank and
file, alknost equals Napoleon's famous levies
of one in forty, whereas experience has
shown that one in a hundred is the utmost
limit to which a national conscription ean
safely !« carried. Nor is the national tem-
per b^ any means warlike. The Chinese
proverb,
" How ti pn tso ting :
How jin pu tso ping " —
("Of good iron one does not jnake a nail ;
of a good man one does not make a soldier" ) —
exactly expresses the creed of the ordinary
Russiin, though, as recent events have
shown,! he can fight like a hero when re-
quired. ! Indeed, the battle of Plevna alone
would have sufficed to place the valor of the
Czar's troops beyond dispute, though, like
the campaigns of 182,6 and 1S53, it has
shown how little mere barrack routine can
avail amid the imforeseen emergencies of
actual iwarfare. Marshal Saxe's criticism
on the English at Fontenoy holds equally
true o: '. the men who fought at Plevna and
Rasgrid, " Lions commanded by asses."
It is difficult to criticise Russia's military
strength without at least a passing allusion
to the veteran bugbear which still terrifies
a few lintraveled readers, though no one
who h IS visited Central Asia could long re-
tain a: ly faith in it, viz., the possible ad-
vance cJf Russia upon India. Set do^wn on
paper by a fluent Russian General, with no
one to argue on the other side, the scheme
has otenbeen made to look practicable
enougil One flying column from' Samar-
cand crosses thet Oxus at Tchardjuy, and,
traversing the d^ert of Merv, moves down
the valley bf the Moorgh-Ab upon Herat,

The jonl^ difficulty of the first
route- fes between Samarcaad' and Merv,
for the fifteen " marches " from Merv to
Herat traverse a well-watered and perfectly
easy xaet, abounding in forage, and prac-
ticablis throughout for field artillery ; while
the Attreek route contains no natural obsta-
cle thi.t coiild impede a regular force for a
single day. As for any opposition on tho
parte:! the natives, more thaa a third of
the fir it route lies through the vassal King-
dom (if Bokhara, and nearly the whole of
the sei!ond!tlirough the friendly territory of
Persia; while the "ten thousand T'orko-
maiis ' who guard Koochan merely repre-
sent so much stock, tran.iferabl6 to Russia
whenever she cares to pay for it.
As far as the gates of Herat, then, a Rus-

GIVIi>'b EVERTBOVY ErEETTUING.
It hits not escaped the notice of. thought-
ful observers that during the struggles, by
no means yet finished, which are to settle in
some iFay the governmental and social
problems raised by the war, one very in-
sidious and serious danger is the attempt to
transphkut here into successful operation
the " ijiitemal theory " of government from
the Old WcTld. Under autocracy, tho ruler
I is conctmt'd for the people only for the sake
his revenues and gratifying his
to
the full, they look to him
for the protection which enables
them to' hve, and hence the paternal rela-
tion natm-lilly arises. Under democracy,
the theory lis that the people are supreme,
goveriittg themselves by elected represen-
hence the theory, carried out, is
that ti^y owe no allegiance except to them-
selves I contribute revenue to themselves
for their own purposes ; do nothing except
what themselves decree ; have nothing, and
can hrf^'c nothing, except what themselves
have frit epeated by industry.
By tpa paternal theory, government is in
wisdom ani 1 power as far above the indi-
■vidual ijitisen as the father is above the
child, Ei:id iihould exercise the like fostering
and protecimg cjare. It should be refuge
for thei oppressed, help for the needy, wis-
dom for thi» foolish, counsel for the igno-
rant, balm for the weary, guardianship for
the unprotected, shelter for the naked — an
overflc'winjr fouitainof good to which every-
body riiy < ome without price. It should
educate a'l wl.o desire education; it
should see that the people do not make
the now prevalent mistake of enter-
ing tile vrong occupations; it should
end Kslrital unhappiness by selecting for
every! qdy | the proper partner ; it should
promo t^ arid encourage authorship, agricul-
ture, manufactures, music, invention, edu-
cation, and the true theology ; it should be
for ev(!rybody an uncle whose stores of good
■will ami'abiility never fail ; it should do for
everybody everything that he asks or needs.
Being stronger, 'wiser, and purer than the
indivicLual,|it should be his will, his con-
scieno 3J and his motive power ; it should be
he, lea V ngjto him only passive acquiescence ;
it shoxd be everytMng to everybody, and
give e'rtxybody everything.
This soimds Uke burlesque, but it is in-
tended seriously as a statement of the logi-
cal outcome of the paternal theory, which
is itself founded on the idea that govern-
ment is bigger and better than the man, and
can ihelp him better than he can help him-
taii, Tiiere are reasons whr goveixuaent
seems to the European p«naat the Urgest
thing in the world, possessing superhuman
qn&litiea, andteuoh may be fhisted to the
wisdom of a personal govranment, for that
naturally draws to itself permanently the
best ability; but any such superiority of
government over the average citizen is con-
trary to the nature of a democracy.
Nevertheless, although there is prob-
ably no country where "the nature
and workings of government are_ so little
studied and understood as here, the notion
has taken root that " the government " is a
sort of impersonal thing ■with perpet-
ual Buocession, lifted above the frail-
ties of human judgment, able to solve prob-
lems and remove difficulties ■with which
nobody can cope. Thus, during every ses-
sion in the last four years, Congress has
Jieen vaguely expected to find out, in its
wisdom, some way of removing business
troubles ; and even yet there are those who
think that some legislative panacea
might be applied. It is aU in vain.
The expected relief is not furnished,
because the imagined wisdom and power to
furnish it have no existence. Government
possesses the might of many, but hardly the
wisdom of one. It is an aggregated force,
directed with very little ■wisdom, slow to
start and slower yet to turn or to withdraw,
and wastefully exercised. The notorious
fact that public work is always badly done
as compared ■with private work is a per-
petual refutation of the idea that govern-
ment has any efficacy over private energy
for exercising any but the most primitive
functions ; on the contrary, government is a
necessary evil, indispensable as a means of
preserving social order, but ill adapted
to doing anything which the individual can
do for himself, and dangerous as soon as it
begins enlarging itself.
The paternal theory has been chiefly put in
practice in some form or other of grant
from the public treasury. From 1850 to
1871 215,000,000 acres of pubUc lands
were granted by Congress to States and cor-
porations for railroad purposes, 159,000,-
000 of this to the Pacific roads, and nearly
5,000,000 acres have been granted for
canal purposes ; for the Pacific roads a debt
of $64,000,000 was assumed, now swollen
to $92,000,000, and promising to exceed
$150,000,000 ; and the largest grantee
proposes to repay the government by prac-
tically borrowing anew from it. And now
the Texas Pacific, for a work already partly
done and certain to be finished within- a
reasonable time without aid, wants a gov-
ernment guarantee of interestou over 2,000
miles of road, likely to reach $100,000,-
000 principal, and proposes as " security"
that if government cannot get back its
money it may sell $5,000 per mile of the
company's bonds, which it can retain for
the purpose, these bonds also to be guar-
anteed! Behind this are canal and other
jobs, which, if they could once get log-rolled
through, would double the present public
debt, provided the public credit did not in-
terrupt the process by itself failing.
Now, government is not a producer ; it is
exclusively a consumer, and a very burden-
some and wasteful one. It has not, and can
never get, a dollar of its own ; every dollar in
the treasury must first be earned by the
industry of the people and be placed there
by taxation. If it were practicable to get,
without borrowing it, a fund from some
other government, as a gift to "the people,"
or for the construction of public works, we
should then be levjing a contribution on the
productive industries of that nation for the
benefit of unemployed labor here ; but, as
this cannot be done, when we establish
national " bureaus of industry" and enter
into the construction of national railroads
and canals, in order to secure cheap trans-
portation and give employment to labor, we
stall simply redistribute to labor, in a bung-
ling and wasteful way, what we have pre-
viously taken from labor. There is no pos-
sible benefit in such attempts. The existing
Pacific railroads, dearly as they cost, were
really exceptional, but if Mr. Thomas
Scott's job is successful there will
be no point where the ^subsidy busi-
ness ean certainly be checked. The
time when the country was able to let the
Treasury door stand open has passed. There
is no safety but in a broad, positive, and
vmconditional refusal to aid anything more ;
the people must come to the final determin-
ation to have no more subsidies, and reserve
taxation and its proceeds for strictly neces-
sary government expenditures. The coun-
try is too poor to be either prodigal or gene r-
ous, and it will remain too poor, at least for
this century. Not only is this the positive
financial view of the case, but the whole
theory and practice of fostering this or that
thing by government is directly opposed to
the simplifying and reforming which is the
great work to be done. To reform govern-
ment, we must make less of it, not more.
TEE LESSON OF NYACE.
■ Nyaek, a charming village on the west
bank of the Hudson, in Rockland County,
has just completed an experience which
is worth a passing comment. It is an ex-
perience which, in many respects, illus-
trates the possible abuses of civil govern-
ment. About five years ago, the village of
Nyack, then containing a population of five
thousand persons, formed part of a township.
The people thought that it would be good
for them to have a separate incorporation
of their own, as their tolerably compact
community could be more easily managed
by a Board of Trustees than by the
more widely-scattered township authorities.
An election was held under the general law
relating to village corporations, and, by a
large vote, the benefits of the act were ac-
cepted. A Board of Trustees was duly
elected and organized, and, under the direc-
tion of this and other machinery, all went
on swimmingly for a time. The people
were mightily pleased with the honors and
dignities of incorporation, and the newly-
elected officers were doubtless equally
pleased with their share of the same.
The too common notion that executive
officials are created for the chief purpose of
spending money appears to have prevailed
'with the high and mighty men who ruled
the destinies of Nyack. Nothing that cost
money and added to the importance of the
rulers of the village was omitted. When
the newness of the corporation machinery
wore' off, the villagers were dismayed to find
that it 'Was very expensive. The local
authorities spent money freely, but they
had nothing to show for their outlay. "Im-
provements," as certain well-known fraudu-
lent daviees aieealled. wet« oroieotAd.
*>
/
and a wiaty of Oings wer» don*
for the benefit of the people, all of which
required the assessment of taxes, the in-
crease of taxes, and the umual and exas-
perating mnltipUeatlon of taxes and aasess-
menta. The villagers of Nyack had unwit-
tingly invited a King Stork among them.
He was not much of a stork, possibly, as
Nyack is a smaU place ; but he devoured
their substance ■with great appetite. The
village Government was a job, and, imder
guise of " improvements," the money col-
lected from the tax-payers was worse than
wasted. WitlSn two years, $50,000 was
made awa^ with, somehow ; and that is no
small amount for a little ■village like Nyack.
Perhaps all of this misgovernment might
have been tolerated, if the villagers had se-
cured any benefit whatever from their once-
honored incorporation. But they had none.
Sanitary and police regulations were next
to nothing, and the villagers only knew that
they had a Government by the frequent
appearance bf the tax-coUeetor. They de-
termined to give up their costly experiment
and return to the arcadian simplicity which
was once theirs. The law requires the
Trustees of a village to order an election,
at which the question of disineorporation
shall be voted upon, whenever one-
fourth of the ^qualified voters of
the village ask them to do so. In this case
the Trustees refused to grant the request,
which was duly preferred. The Trustees
were in possession. The villagers, or a ma-
jority of them, went to the courts and se-
cured a mandamus compelling the Trustees
to order the election. This brouglit on a
crisis, and the Trustees, on the day ap-
pointed,;^procured an injunction to prevent
such election. Next, the people applied to
the courts, and the injunction was dissolved.
But the Trustees, or those acting in their
interest, carried the case up to the
Court of Appeals, and so more de-
lay was secured. As defeat was sure
to overtake these too-willing village gov-
ernors at last, the Legislature was mean-
time asked to enact a special law making it
impossible to disincorporate Nyaek. The'
bill slipped tiirough both houses, but was
vetoed by the Governor for reasons obvious
to any one at all acquainted with its de-
ments. So the election was finally and le-
gally held, after the villagers had been two
years endeavoring to secure an opportunity
to vote on the question. The village was
disincorporated last week by a vote of 2S2
to 71.
In our form of government it is possible
for selfish and dishonest men, as well as for
vainglorious and extravagant men, to get
into office and stay there, in spite of the
protestations and la-wful endeavors of the
citizens to put them out. What has been
done in Nyaek has been done in thousands
of tovms and cities throughout the Repub-
lic. Nyack ousted an expensive and profli-
gate Government after two years of strug-
gle. We should be glad to think that other
communities carrying some such Old Man
of the Sea could be as easily delivered from
their burden. Tax-payers, whether in
villages or great cities, have be-
come accustomed to being regarded
as the lawful spoU of speculators in
office. It is reckoned a light offense to
squander or misappropriate the money
which belongs to a community. Men get
off scot-free when they treat public funds
in a way that would "be called theft if those
funds belonged to a private citizen in his
individual capacity. Municipal and State
officials do not even blush when it is neces-
sary, as it was in a Staten Island village
lately, to procure an injunction to prevent
them from spending money without warrant.
Whether it is true or not that the world is
governed too much, it certainly is true that
government costs too much. And the vil-
lagers of Nyaek have done ■wisely 'ia_ de-
termining to rub along ■with less government
and more comfort. This story, colorless as
we have made it, has been the woniment of
a community for more than two years. And
after all, Nyaek is a great city looked at
through the big end of a telescope.
UNDESIRABLE MILLIONAIRES.
We published on Tuesday an extract from
the San Francisco Bulletin, which quoted an
article from the Frankfort Gazette, giving a
dazzling picture of the millionaires of the
Golden State. The Bulletin disclaims any
intention of indorsing in their entirety the
statements of its foreign contemporary, yet
is of opinion that even if the richest men
in the world are not to be found in Cali-
fornia to-day, they will be half a century
hence. So much may happen in half a cen-
tury that we should not presume to express
an opinion to the contrary ; but so far as the
wealth of California is concerned to-day, we
must gravely demur to the flattering esti-
mate of the Guzette, which we fear may
have the effect of turning any number of
young Teutonic heads, and adding a large
contingent to the already lamentably large
army of mining martyrs. The plain truth
is that these huge mine fortunes go
for comparatively little in the estimation
of the really solid, substantial men to whom
this country is indebted for the credit it en-
joys abroad. After the figuring up by the
Gazette of the income of the late Baron
Rothschild, the late Lord Westminster,
and Messrs JoXES and Mackev, of Califor-
nia, comes the warning voice of the Bulletin,
telling tis that :
"The estimates made by this foreign journal are
speculative and carioas,-)but some of those relating
to the wealthy men of this coast would need careful
revision. For instance, John P. JosES. some years
ago, while a large owner in Crown Point and other
productive mines, might have been worth some mil-
lions ; at least, we suppose his income then was a
fair dividend on several millions. But he some tim e
a^o ceased to l>e a very rich uLao, and we presum e to-
day he does not consider >'''m'tftlf to have more tlian a
moderate fortune."
Now here is just the point. The Duke of
Westminster's great-grandfather was solidly
rich, his grandfather richer, his father richer
still, and he is richest of all. Rothschild,
too, can point to generations of wealth, but
Jones, it seems, is poorer already, and while
the failure of Rothschild or Westminster
would astound the moneyed world, "who
would be very much amazed if Macket be-
came a poor man again T Can that be held
real wealth which depends on the most fluc-
tuating of all possible stocks f
These vast ephemeral fortunes are, we
believe, calculated to have as bad an in-
fluence on the mind of youth as those of
the first ASTOB. and of Stewart have a
good effect; and the e'vil is enhanced by
such statements as that "none of them
had fortunes twenty years ago, and
veer Um «vca tea jr«ars aeo." A aauh.
more wholesome raflection Is found ta-
the &et that " quite a number who hadlarga
fortunes five or ^z years ago do not to-day
figure in the list of milUonaires." Nothing,
indeed, can be less desirable for a com-
munity than rapid fortunes of this kind.
What is especially needed in this coimtry is
wealth in the liands of men of jad^ment,
moderation, patriotism, and cultivation. We
gain absolutely nothing by millions remain-
ing for a few years in the hands of one un-
educated man, who by sheer lack has risen
to gigantic command of money, and
then, before his family have had
time to be educated to properly ^3is-
pense large means, shifting to another.
We are even now suffering in some degree
from the pernicious effects of rapidly accu-
mulated and ill-adjusted wealth, although
New-York can at least say of her three rich-
est sons that they knew how to keep their
money, and to live becomingly upon it.
She can very well afford to give California
her Ralstons, Floods, and O'Briens, if she
can keep half a dozen citizens of but a tenth
of their nominal wealth whose property is
. as soimd and substantial as that of the Duke
of Westminster.

moment that a team of horses, drawing a wac^>a
loaded with empty barrels, apijeared at the other
end. The sight of the elephants frightened tiis .
horses, and they- turned short around, upset the
wagon, and dashea away. The rattling of the bai--
rels in turn terrified the elephants, and they stam-
peded in the other direction. The sun was pretty
high, and the diivei-s iX hoib ends of the bridge were
very warm before the passage was effected.

DSADWOOD, Dakota, Wednesday, Aug. 1, 1877.
Inuring the past three months several x>ros-
pecting parties have gone from here to the Big
Horn country. In all probably not less than
600 men and boys have fitted out from Dead-
wood and the surrounding camps. One party
numbered 150, well armed and provisioned.
Kone of these expeditions have returned, but
some dis^sted hangers on have from time to
time appeared on o>ir streets, and have more to
say about Indian raids than about rich gold
finds There is certainly nothing yet to
justify the threatened stampede in that
direction. Scouts say that the various expedi-
tions have thoroughly prospected the head of
Powder Kiver, Crazy Woman's Fork, and Wil-
low Creek^ and found nothing. Those who went
up on the east side of the Big Horn, toward the
Hontana borders and along the Wind River,
have met various expeditions from Rawlins,
Green River, and Ogden, who have been over
all the streams well up into the mountains, and
still they fail to find aby very rich diggings. It
noTV begins to look as if Deadwood -would be the
final rendezvoxjs of these various parties, and the
coming Winter find more people here thjin ever
before. This will give the Black Hills country a
few months more of thorough testing, for
these men cannot afford to be idle. They must
do something.
I>eadwood is as lively as ever. It is a queer
place. The man who ventured the remark that
a fool and his money are soon parted must have
had in his mind's eye some such place as this.
It is the sharpers' paradise. The •• tenderfoot"
is here brought face to face with the ingenious
bummer, the shck confidence man. the claim
jumper, the land shark and the desperado, and
he is a man of more than usual alertness who
does not get " taken in " somehow or other
before he has been 24 hours in this sinful city.
There is no such place anjTvhere. It
shows up in its worst forms the " fast
and flash '* American trait. A little over a
year ago the site of this swarming camp was a
part of the howling wilderness. To-day there
are along the streets and up and down the
gulches, within a mile, over 10,000 people.
Here is a city of 4.000 inhabitants, with a
Qoating population of 2,01)0 more. About
1.500 nouses and huts, and hundreds of tents
up the hill-sides, an academy, church, two
dafly newspapers, four banks ; 20 lawyers,
physicians, dentists, artists; club-houses, thea-
tres in full blast every night, the streets
thronged with speculators, tramps, and bum-
mers ; gambiing-heUs open all day long, and
** cappers" on every comerwatchingforthenext
*' victim '" — such is a hasty glance at Deadwood.
It is a place in which the few prey upon the
many. You cannot buy anything for less than a
quarter : vour hving costs you double what it
would at t>enver or Salt Lake City. You can't
step in any direction without facing some device
for getting rid of your money. They have even
got a " comer " on postage stamps and you must
pay from a dime to a quarter for a three-cent
stamp. It is no wonder that the thousands who
come here with a few dollars in their pockets
soon find themselves "dead broke" and depend-
ent upon the charity of the better class of peo-
ple, it cannot be urged too strongly that poor
men or men of small competence should stay
away from the Black Hills. It may not be out
of the way for capitalists to come and look
around ; but let the poor man stay away. One
of the business men here, seeing the condition
of the hundreds who lay idle and penniless about
the street, has the l^nestv to write to the Dead-
wood Times, for the benefit of ** pilgrims," in
which he savs that the truth ought to be told, and
the '* tenderfeet" be advised to stay at home. X
quote from his communication :
'• There are thousands, of men in the Hills who
would be glad to work for their bread, or euDugh
money to pay their way back home : but there is no
employment for them. The placer claims are all
taken up by the first comers, and the quartz leads are
not yet samciently developed to require many lalior-
ers. I never saw so miiiiy sii-k-luoking men iu my
life as I have seen in Deadwood. They come here
without a cent in their pockets, expecting to gobble
up gold by the bucketful, and they soon go away
with a *flea in the ear,' Now, Uiese pOgrims are not
the oidy fools in -this 'vain delusive world.' "They
come here full of greedy expectation, but iu --t
hours their Korgeoos air castle^have blown away
I nto bubbles.
It may be said to tlie credit of the local press
- (there are five newsjiapt^rs in the Black Hills)
that they have aimed to be truthful and have
not invited such an indiscriminate stampede sm
h*s set in this direction. I think the grand
furor was got up by the., (,'h£yerne, Sidney.
Siotix City, and Umaha 'newspapers, and tliL-
stage cotnuanies. aided by the L'nion Pacific
and officials of other railways leading in this
direction, in order to secure the large travel and
to sell supplies to the thousanis en route
hither. Each of the pla^:es we have named has
advertised itself as the outfitting point for the
land of gold, and done all it t»>uld to keep up
the excitement about the Black Hills.
Of the4,000to 6.000 people in Deadwood.abtiut
200 are in business, eniploving capital ranging
from $.o00 to $10,000 eai'h : perhaps 500 are
carrying on legitimate and paying mining en-
terprises in the neighljorhood gulches ; about
600 are, day laborers, earning from $4 down to
'* grubstakes." a scant living. .^11 the rest are
Bimplywaudering about fomenting a stampede
to some other locality, cursing the luck that
sent them to the Black Hills, or philosophically
waiting for something to turn up. All the sur-
roundings are calculated to make men desper-
ate. More than half the population are out of
work, and many are. glad of the chance that
gives them oue meal a day. Yet, still ther
come — every stage from Sidney, Cheyenne. Bis-
marck, and Fort Pierre crowded full : prairie
schooners streaming iu by every route, mule
teams and ox teams, many on horseback, and
hundreds on foot. Thus far since early in the
Spring, the average arrivals have been about
200 a day. For a while but few were going
back, but noiif the departures are fully equal to
the arrivals, and but for the lack of means to
pay for their journey it is safe to say that 2,000
or 3,000 more would be wendiiig their way
hack to ** God's country," as they affectionately
call the home and friends back in the States.
It cannot be denied by those most sanguine
concirtiing the riches of the Black Hills that the
present outlook is farfrom satisfactory. But little
gold is being taken out — not so much as at this
time last year. The whole country from Custer
to Deadwood is not producing over $3,000 .per
day, while the population in the Hills is esti-
mated at 40,000 — not 10. cents per day to the
man. Probably 50 claims include all that are
paying remarkably rich. On French Creek,
wbic,h in the Spring of 1875 was famed for its
" diggings." and caused the furor which built
Custer City, scarcely any claims are paying.
The best produce from $2 to $5 per day per
man, if properly drained and worked with ex-
pensive pumping machiner}-. Scarcity of water
IS a great drawback to any satisfactory work.
An okl miner, who has had 40 years' experence
In Cdifomia, Arizona, Montana, Nevada, and
Colorado, and has carefully been over all the
gulches and through the mining camps of the
Black Hills, expresses the belief that French '
Creek is not as good diggings as Cherry Creek
above Denver, and the latter has not been
thought worth the working. He states that
Spring Creek is " rim-rock and high-bar dig-
gings" on a deep and fiat gulch. It will pay for
about 15 miles, from "grub stakes" to wages.
All the claims on French and Spring Creeks are
for sale, and the parties who own tbe-best of
• them would sell at a fair price for the improve-
ments or work that has been expended
in getting them into shape. Along Rapid
Creek, which is the largest stream in the hills,
and its tributaries. Castle and North Rapid, bars
pay in spots from S2 to $10 per day. Big
hopes are entertained of rich pay on beM-rock.
In a week or two much will be decided. Manv
experienced miners think that the reputation of
the Black Hills as a placer mining country
pretty much hangs on the resultsof the work
now being prosecuted on Rapid Creek from
Jlountain City for a distance of 35 miles below,
and along its main branch. Castle Creek. Large
numbers of claims have been taken up and re-
corded, but little coyote holes here and there
are about all that has been done in the way of
developing. The claim-owners are waiting to see.
If the few experiments being made show ** big
pay," then a stampede to that section will give
them a good chuce to " unload" at a snug
mm.' The csmpe at Castleton, Mountain City,
and Sitting Bull, are quite lively in anticipation
of big strikes. Ont^e of Rapid and Castle

for uome three miles in length, with sefler&l
small, short gulches putting into I it.
The placer claims of 300 feet lav©
paid all the way from $10 to $50.(00.
For a mile or more on each side of Deadwood
Creek the quartz deposit has been struck, j It
runs flat, like a coal vein, is flinty and white,
with oxide of iron through it, and gol<L The
Woolsey, Hidden Treasure, Father De Snet,
and other lodes are being worked, and the ore
pays $20 to $40 per ton. These deposits ^em
to face the gulch, and do not extend back any
distance, so the chances are that they will not
hold out very long. Outside these deposits
there are " true Assure reins "on the head of
Bobtail Gulch and Gold Rtin, all low gradeL $8
to $10 are.
As a mining region the different distric s of
the Black Hills are unlike^ anj^hing elsQ in
the Rocky iU^ountain countrj-. The p^cer
claims seem to " pan out " remarka-
ble well in spots, but there is j no
steady run of luck sucn. as miners in Califqmia
have been tised to month after month. jThe
quartz mines are not like those of Colorado or
any other good gold country. The geolo^ is
allat fault There is no regularity to anytl .ing,
and while there may be rich " pockets," the
mining capitalist must " go it blind," and
spend thousands with the chance of gettin j no
return. I have seen a statement that $2,( 00,-
000 were taken out of the Black HiUs last
year. That may have been so. But the re iitlts
ior this year to all appearances will
not be over that, and there are ! five
times the number of people, and tw enty
times the amount of capital at stake , in
these mines that there were a year ago. We
cannot see anytihng to inspire much confit ence
in the permanency of this country; ant yet
hundreds of experienced miners and me a of
the world *' go their bottom dollar " on it. As a
rule, notwithstanding tho want aud almost star-
vation noticeable at Deadwood, it seems t > be
the disposition to *'grin and bear it." There
is a seeming hilaritv and desire to mrikt the
best of everything, ^ose who own city lots
hold them at high figures, and $100 per' ront
foot is about the rate a tnan will have tc pay
for a bmlding site on Main-street. A sma 11 ca-
boose well located rents for $125 per m mth.
You can weio:h out your dollar in dust for i seat
in the Gem Theatre or the Bella Union, n here
you can any night see *' new stars in rapidf sue
cession." The Bella Union is just in receipt of
20 of the best " people " that could be spt in
Chicago at $10 per week. The Gem males a
specialty of the ballet, and is well supplied|with
lady waiters. The Melodeon has stige room
for five or six. the remainder of the long room
being devoted to monte, chuck-aluck, faro rou-
lette, and 10 dice-tables.
I think the best idea of life and tim fs in
Deadwood may be gained by a glance ov( r its
daily newspapers, which, by the way are
slightly larger than a sheet of foolscap an* , are
delivered to any part of the city at $l! per
year, or $2 per month, the editor taldn, the
caution to announce In his prospectus th it he
expects every subscriber to "down witl the
dxist," and not offer "coon-skins, scalp, or
watered bug juice" in payment, as he is ht re in
Deadwood intending to "prospect througl the
murky channels of literature solely fo ■ the
colors.'' The paper before us calls attenti n to
the opening of a new banking-house, ani L the
novel way in which they do such things h ro is
indicated bv the editor's assurance that " the
opening of iBrown & Thum's new bank w 11. be
celebrated to-night, and George Shingle sa rs he
will have a corps of attentive waiters to s ipply
the wants of gentlemen who desire anythi g in
his line of refreshuients, and we do not peak
wide of the mark when we say he can put th»*i^i
up right." A local notice in another part f tlie
paper tells us that " Bloom, on Lee-i treet.
is in receipt of partv vests, ties, and
gloves, which will be m demand for the great
opening." We are informed that "on t toll-
gat© house o^ the Bear Buttes Road is ; . si^n
reading thus': 'Loose pilgrims, frt-e; picked
pilgrims, five cents ; ' " and that " the prev iling
color of nantaloous worn by gnld men
in the HiUs is a shade ' betwet a a
salt mackerel and a coitfish-" There
is every symptom that Deadwood is a fast town,
for a local announcement asivs: "Mrs. Mar-
quette, whose husband poisoned hirasi If on
Monday night, married again Tuesday mo niug,
before her dead husband was fairly cold. This
is only a proof of the btisiness-Uke charac ;er of
some of the denizens of l^eadwood." J\ n ap-
peal for charity in behalf of the poor is co iched
in the following ornate language :
"Miners, men of wealth, you upon who n the
Hills has seen fit to larish her riche-st treasure : you
to whom The enrth has chosen to empty her mj ron «f

Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday, Aug. 7, 1877.
I have made a tour, and, like th© ven-
erable Dr. ' Syntax, 111 writo it In my
tour South I traveled Georgia from north
to south, stopping here and there, as
fancy elected, to see the sights. Natural-
ly, the first thing to attract my attention
was the crops, and then the people who grew the
crops ; and although in many cases neither made
a very favorable impression upon me, I think,
geuerallyj, ' there is little cause for dis-
couragement What moat strikes one even
casually IS; the great lack of thrift and enter-
prise among the [people. Great barren tracts
lie untiUed and untouched. Everything seems
dull, sluggish, an4 almost at a standstill. Idlers
Jhrong the city thoroughfares, and the cotintry
railway stations, j Nine-tenths of them are illit-
erate and — t almost said necessarily — enemies of
intellectual and other advancement. It is sur-
prising to find how superficial is the education
of the native Southern gentry. They can read
and wrjtb,, and in iVery many instances do both
poorly. |If one attempts anything like
a conversation! on science or litera-
ture he will I inevitably find himself
talkins to iguoramu.ses and become disgusted.
And so also in politics. Everybody talks pol-
itics and everybody is a politician. I have been
througli whole counties without finding a single
Republican or a vpry learned Democrat, and, in
their high-tbned and arrogant conversation, it
is very, verj- difficult to swallow some of their
many expressSoup. The tendency here seems
to be toward a "solid South," with the expecta-
tion of having a solid North. So politicians
and political papers say, but to me there seems
to be growing more aud more every day
a terrible rent, which will most assuredly
prove fatal to the solid South partisans.* In the
Democratic Party here there is a large element
which is progressive, and also a large- element
which is quite the contrary' in its tendencies.
This latter, or Bourbon, element clings tena-
ciously to: the pfijst, andin the solution of the
necroqitestion — solved as it is — they give up all
ideas of blavery, but want, and are striving for,
an ignoranti tenantry. Though in this they lose
the right of possession, they get all the advan-
tages of Isliavery Without its responsibilities and
disadvantages. A corresjwndent of yours stated
some time siiice that they, the Demo-
crats, had; the | negro where they wanted
him. and iu truth iu many places
tliey haVe. ; They have him in that condition
where tnoy can d^tato to him. For instance,
in a ceriiaiu towui in the State the colored peo-
ple refiise to se^id their children to school if
they are required to study any text-book
other than "WebsterX blue-back speller. Upon
inquiry it has be4u found that this refusal was
made at the instigation of the whites. "See
what we are doinig for the negro," they say to
the Nortl^em yisitor. They provide him
schools, biit if he attempts to pass beyond a
cert^n iithit he must be restrained. Those of
the colore^ pet> de who observe this state of
affairs tire disposed to separate from the whites
entirelji and thence arises that'«pirit of separa-
tion on color lir es which will, if permitted to
grow, do endless harm.
There arethost of the Democrats who favor
a more general a id more thorough education of
the maisseS. mm they favor and incite this
spirit of se|parati 311 which 1 have mentioned.
The progressive dement is certainly the peo-
ple's eloniejut, th)? liberal partv. and the party
which must and will rule. They increase daily,
and areibecoming more important anu stronj^er.
It may be long b-fore they jraiii the viotorj',
but gaiJi I it tley will. The status quo of
partie'J 3s their ii'*ath. and the party that op-
poses uiiivi.Ts:il advancement cannot live.

('he;ip labpr, isn't it f You may ask why these
p**opIu remain on such farms under such cir-
cunistances. There are two reasons. First,
b('i'ausi; there exists a sort of convention among
the farmers to the effect that no one of them
will hire at any price any man who has left auy
one of [them ; aud second, as in this particular
case, the hands and their families have all they
want to eat, to wear, and to satisfy all their
ru-=tic ■tastes. The few dollars they may re-
ceive tjhey seldom have need to spend', and "thus
$.'» answers fur them all the purposes of $500,
Anoth|-r reason is they are ignorant In these
counties and parts of counties there is little
oducationl Among the old people there is
none, ' The children have flrst-rate school ad-
vantages for three mouths of the year. These
schotd* arje public, and could be made better in
many ways. If they get other advantages dur-
ing th(* year, they do so at private schools, at
their o\vn|e.NT>eiise, and often witlTmuch diffi-
culty. I Isay it is difficult, because the people,
for want of currency, have to pay in produce,
A;c,. aud this of course few care to' receive. In
some of ! the cities there are schools, which
are in luveiry respect better. In Atlanta there
are three schools for the colored children.
Two Ol these are good, and have good teachers;
but tie buUdings are not at all fit for the pur-
pose. They do not accommodate all the chil-
dren iu I the city who would, if able, attend
school. The annual appropriations are altogether
too smalt .and there is now no probability of
their Ijeirig made larger. The third school-
house disgraces the name. An oblong, one-story
frame structure, built many years since by a
poor congregation for a church, is now a school-
fiou?^ where colored children are to be educated.
Neverj painted, the planks of the weather-board-
ing stand! apart at intervals of an inch, more or
less, n^aking it qttite pleasant, I fancy, iu Simi-
mer. but iust the contrary in Winter.
In Savannah I understand the school-houses
are better, but the teachers in many cases are
very inferior, particularly the Principals. In
Macon the advocates of negro education have
burned down two of the school -houses, so now
they arej in a measure, without schools iu that
city. In Augusta they had good schools, but
the spiri|t of separation which has grown to
an alarming extent has s^scceeded in repla-
cing good teachers furnished by the American
Missionary Association with colored ones who
are not competent. There is a constant cry
there now for better teachers. This separating
spirit results from a desire to be entirely inde^'
pendent of the whites, the thing which any
rational being knows is impossible. - There are
colored churches here which exclude white visi-
tors, and admit none to membership, on the
ground that white churches .exclude colored
visitors and admit none to membership with
themselves. An attempt has been ^jnade to
establish stores with the intention of taking idl

Mr. Lane, ijidlor at Akron, Ohio, contributes

a native of Cleveland, his father oeine one
the early hotel-keepers of that city. After leaving
the office of Gen. Bierce young Selover returned to
Clevejand, where he remained, without amounting to
'any stated sum,' until the California fever broke
out In 1849, when he turned his face toward the
Pacific coast, where the writer often met him during
the two years |of his sojonxn there, from 1850 to
1852, and. retnming from San Fiincisco to New-
York upon the bame vessel with him in the Fall of

THE ESoLtSn ARTIFICIAL FLOWER TRADE
The PaltlSfall Gazette of Aug. 1 says : '• Mr.
Redgrave, tpe Inspector of Factories, meutiuns iu his
lialf-yearly ^port, just is-i'-ed, that he has been in-
formed by one employer in the artificial flower trade
that the eai-nings of the work-people have increased
from 20 to !>0 per cent, in his experience. English-
made flo Wei s command a much higher price in the
market than they did formerly, but the manufac-
tnrers have !it)ll to follow In the wtike of Paris for
'style and fashion.' In uo trade is it more impor-
tant for tho le engaged in it to possess an educated
tast**. and b, young womau who possesses it. with
a fair [ amount of practical skill In the
mampulatiau of the materials, can make most excel-
lent wages.' Artificial flower making is. says Sir,
Redgrav6, due of the branches of English manufac-
ture which felt the influence of protection up to the
latest diiteJ The protective duty upon foreign arti-
licial flowerp was abolished Iu I860, and for a year
or two the trade was so greatly depressed that many
of tho8e|en^figed in it never hoped to see a revivaj.
When the Factorv Acts Extension act was passed,
however. It had thoroughly revived, and was being
carried on In London on a larger scale than ever
before experienced. The bugbear of foreign com-
petition rtais still in the minds of the em-
ployers wl(ien the restrictive- regulations wei^
enforced, and it was wttli grave misgiving that their
influence wja^ anticipated. During the past Winter
the trade has beeu dull, in common with all branches
of manufacturing industry, but relatively artificial
fiower m.ikiujg is now earned ou in this country more
successful! V and on a larger scale than it was ever
known to tf^ before. Before the abolition of protec-
tion English artificial flowers were ugly monstrosi-
ties, showing neither skill nor taste in their produc-
tion. Nowj notwithstanding the keen competition
of both Frepch and Germans. English manufacttu^rs,
price consifiered, successfully hold their own, and
the work-people during the last 10 years have
shared iu thei general advance which has taken place
in the remuneration paid to women."

The CiUjCinnati Times of Friday says: '*The
monument |t<!> the memory of Col. Robert L. McCook,
of the Ninth Ohio Regiment, will be placed in posi-
tion In Washington Park on the iJSd inst., with ap-
propriate ceremonies. In the bust, which was carved
by C, Leoi^ld Fetweiss, Jr., Col. McCook is repre-
sented in tlie undress uniform of a Colonel, with the
overcoat thrown open and back. The Western roll-
ing shirt-collar and plain knot tie complete the dres,<i.
The face is smooth, the long, abundant hair parted
on the right side and thrown back. The features are
strongly marked, and have a keen, determined ex-
pression; as if in the act of command. The angular
jaw and firm set mouth contribute to the Impression
of determination stamped upon the face, which is ap-
provingly vouched for as an excellent likeness by the
surviving prothers of the favorite commander. The
bust will rest on a square pedestal of gray granite, "
12 feet hi^, malting the whole height over 15 feet.
The panels of the pedestal are polished. The monu-
ment will face the new Music Hall, and on the die. In
raised levters, appears as inscription the name 'Col-

AND OBJECTS-^EV. JOSEPH COOK.
From Our own CorreK^ondmU.
Taiv. Poorr. N. V., Wednesday, Aug. 8. 1877.
If there is any one thing that Americans can
do better than another it is to hnitate. There la
never anything either valiuble, pretty or pleasant
but that in time the Yankee intellect will bring ont a
cheap and often a tolerably fair substitate therefor.
The lady purchases a fine and costly diamond set, and
has the pleastire of wearing ft just once, when
Bridget appears with one of Alaska formation
purchased at the dollar f tore, which no one except
an expert can tell from the other. A very few years
ago watering places began to be imitated and the
rage extended ah over the nation, Chautauqua Lake
being one of the cheap though really valuable pro-
duets. Pair Point was the last spot on the lake to be
selected, and fotur years ago but a single unpreten-
tious cottasre broke the forest solitude. Now there la
a village here .which, like all fast growing places,
callsitself a city, and not without cause, for it has a
palace hotel, a fire department, Metropolitan
Police, a d^y paper, and 300 cottages, besides
many tents.
The Sabbath-school Assembly, which purchased
75 acres of wilderness land here and built up the
town for the purposes of its association, controls
everything. Its President, Lewis Miller, Esq., is
here " a bigger man than old Grant," everything
being imder his direct supervision and absolute sway.
Mr. Miller is a Methodist, and so are all people here
except lookers-on. This might, be taken for granted,
for no people except those who have made camp-
meetings successful would ever dream of this pecu-
har method of combining the pleasures of a water-
ing place with the advantages of a religiotts meeting.
Here, alternating between a dip iu the clear, blue
waters of the lake and a dip into theological thoughts,
a three weeks' sojourn may be made most delightful.
The feature of the Assembly of most interest thus
far has been the sessions of the Reform Council,
which was engaged in the consideration of temper-
anee work. The principal attractions in this hue
have been Francis Murphy and John B, Qongh. The
latter, just approaching his sixtieth birthday, is the
same as he was 2U years ago, and nothiligthat I could
say wotdd be of special intorest to a public which
knows him perhaps better than I, Still, his lecture
on " Temperance " which always begins with, " I
don't expect that I can bring to you anything strange
or startling on this old, worn, hackneyed theme of
temperance," &c., is invariably amusing and some-
times Interesting, and his " Orators andEloquence "
is worth hearing twice. Both these he has delivered,
and now he has gone.
Francis Jflurphy is not by any means so well known
to the public, and his lecture was the event of the
session. The curiosity was great to see and hear the
Irish reformer who has within the past few months
given his name to a sect of quondam bmnmers
•■ saved by the ^race of God," The people Were very
much pleased with his address, and nis friends here
are numbered by scores ; still it is apparent that the
man's forte lies in addressing drunkards and holding
meetings for their con ven>ion rather than m lecturing
to large audiences of avowed temperance people. The
story of his life, as related, is of interest, to be sure,
but his harangue and exhortation are of little force
in such instances. He is, indeed, a man like Moody
and other lay preachers, big with the sense of his
mission, possessing a* powerful constitution, mnch
magnetism, great hopefulness, and an mdomitable
will. These, combined with his Irish versa-
tility and ready wit, make up the man.
Besides, he is a ferveut Methodist and
an incessant baud-shaker, 1 hinking that your read-
ers mteht be interested in hearing this peculiar man
talk a little in regard to uis hopes and future plans. X
had a long convt^rsation with hiui the other day.
Taking a seat on one of the rustic benches near the
water's edge, where the ripples from the passing tugs
and steamers swept high up on the sand, the follow-
ing conversation took place ;
Reporter — Do you propose to continue your work
ou tlie same plan as it has been begun ?
Mr. Murphy— ^Exactly so. It has. under God, been
a great success, and I am confident that it may yet
be made mure so.
Reporter — But you can't go everywhere and preach
this gospel of reform. , How do you expect to have it
spread ?
Mr. Murphy — I am enlisting young men everj'-
whore I can find them of the nght kind. When a
man siifiw the pledge and makes up his mind to tri-,
^under (rod, lo keep it. I immediately make him' talk
"about it. and about the second or third time be speaks
• I announce him for the principal man at a meeting.
I tell him to tell the people how his wife
aud his children and himself suffered, and
how he spent all : his money on Saturdav
night befor«* he came home. and then
told his poor, discouraged wife, when he arrived homt-
late at night, that he had l>een delayed and the firm
for which ho worked could not pay' him, and thus he
got In debt and his wife got worse and more discour-
aged and everything was wrong. \Vhen It is an-
nounced that this man will speak, his old associates.
with a peculiar turn of the large tobacco quid in their
months and a wink of the besotted eye. say to each
other: "Bill Is going to make a temperance lecture
to-night : let's go." And they do go. and they arrange
themselves right In front of the stand to scare him,
you see.
Reporter— Dtm't these men, thus put forward,
break dowii in their speeches t
Mr. Murphy — Not often. A man can tell the sini-
plu story oi his follies, as I have told you : and when he
rises to do so, and is introduced by some kind words,
he makes a great effort, andas he g'oesoa with the rela-
tion of one foolish and sinful act after another, his
friends hunch each other and say. "that's- so, Tom.
That's just the way we all on us' do ; Bill knows just
how it is. He is happy now. Did you hear 'im say as
how happy his wife is. and he says bis children run to
meet him, now he is sober, when he comes home.
Let's us try it and see if our wives and children will
do as his do." In this wa'v, don't you see, the work
of these men is very effective.
Reporter — You intend that these men shall do the
work, then i
ilr. Murphy — .\ large part of it. I shall do all I
can so long as God lets me live. But the great work
I expect to have done by an army of workers, who
shall go over the country, from Maine to California,
(I started In Maine.) aud preach the Gh?spel
to the lost, I *liave had invitations to go
to New- York, Chicago, Cincinnati. Baltimore.
Boston, and many .other lai-ge cities of the
country. 1 liave not decided where I shall go
yet, and don't want to decide, I am not atall desirous
of making announcements beforehand. The pfepa-
rations then are too elaborate, and I don't like to
work bj'other men's plaus. They are too grand, and
consist in too much announcing. <
Reporter — How long have you been speaking upon
the subject of temperance f
Mr. Murphy — In m^ weak way ever since I was
made a free uuui in 18^1, I then began in a very
feeble, stammering way to pray and to speak. At
first T would get away up in the comer, where I
thought as few as possible wouldsee me, and I talked
as low as possible, but I grew iu grace, God helping
me.
Reporter — You mentioned in one of your speeches
here the death of your wife. How long' ago did that ,
happen i
. Mr. Murphy — Sixvearsago. But tome she is nrit dead
yet. She, poor, faltluul, dearaoul.only livedthreeweeks
after I signed the pledge. I had thought that I should
never marry again, but I feel now, considering the
condition of my family, that if I could find a good
woman that I could love, and whom I tliought would
take good care of nnr children, I would askner to be-
come Mrs. Frank Murphy.
It was now time for the boat to start which was
to carry the reformer to his new field of work, viz.,
the camp-meeting at Cazenoria, and, taking a long
and hearty parting shake of my hand, he hastened
away.
The principal attraction at the auditorium to-day
was the lecture of Rev, Joseph Cook, of Boston.
This orator, who has received so much notice and
praise during the past few months, is a truly remark-
able man. The fame of his Boston lectures last
Winter induced the management to bring him here ;
and. judging from the first lecture, they could not
have done "better. In his introductions he is re-
ported as almost invariably illustrating his subject
by some current political topic. His lecture to-day
thus touched upon communism, &c:
'"We are assembled to-day on the edge of a hardly-
quenched volcano. Our land has twice been washed
in blood in the first century ot Its existence, and yet
within the last fortnight we have suffered from three
things-: A wide-spread strike of low-paid labor,
a riot of the roughs and the aneoks, and
a grand, masterly self-defense. [Applause. ]
Our fathers thought that our safety con-
sisted in the diffusion of libertv. Very
well ; we have diffusion of liberty, and we Iiave not
found safety in that alone. Some of our fathers said
it would be necessary for us to diffuse iutelligence,
smd we have diffused that as no other uatlon ever has
done, and yet we are not safe. , And now it begins to
be whispered that safe republicanistn must con-
sist not only in diffusion of liberty and
a diffusion of intelligence but in a diffusion of
propertj*. The self-respect of ownership will make

8TRVQGLB WITH BURGLARS,
Two enterprising btir^ars effected 'an en-
trance into the mhiexml water factory of'SIessrs.
Bohn & Byrne, at No. 419^Eaat Hfty-fonrth-itreet,
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. Their operations
were so qxdet that the watchman, George S^th, who
was m bed, did not hear them tmtil they entered his
room. He then endeavored to give aa alarm. Tfa&
robbers seized and gagged him. His strug^ea
were so violent, howeverT^that the gag fellSraa
his mouth, and he shouted for help. One of
the men seized a wooden mallet and Struck
him upon the head, knocking him insensible. Very
soon after this they must have become alarmed at
some occtirrence outside the building, for. when
Smith revived, he found evidences that the burglars
had departed in haste. Nothing had been removed
from the ofllce, but a safe, containing quite a large
sum of money, had two holes bored in it. On the
floor of the office was a set of burglars' tools, and iu
the yard the watchman found a bottle of powder.
The ease was reported to the Police of the Nineteenth
Precinct, but no clue to the btu-glara has been ob-
tained.
KEOLECT AXD DRIXK,
James Farmer returned to his home, at the
comer of Eleventh-street and Avenue C, late on the
night of Sunday, Aug. 5, and finding the door of his
house locked, he attempted to effect an entrance by a
window. An officer of th# Eleventh Precinct saw
nim, and beUeving him to be a burglar,
arrested him. Farmer made a determined
resistance, and the officer clubbed him
on the head and body. He was then locked up,
Upon beiue brought to the Essex Market Police
Cuurt he was dlsehiirged. On Friday last he was

conduct. He was confined in a cell at Essex ilar-

day ni^t had not been attended to. and that gan-

COST OF FIXDIXG A HORSE-PISTOL.
M*hen Henry Reilly found an ancient horse-
pistol in a vacant lot some eight months ago, he
probably did not suppose that it would be the means
of placing him face to face with a Police Justice.
Nevertheless it had that effect, and the meeting took
place yesterday morning in Justice Kasmire's Court,
Fifty-seventh-'street, Reilly was charged with having
fired the pistol from his window on the previous
night, but the charge seemed to him p^posterotis.
* ' Fire it ! X never tired it in me life, your Honor.
The children have it to fire fire-crackers with." But
the pistol lay on the desk, and tlie Judge, doubting
possibly whether the man had anv children as large
as the pistol, said : " You are fined $10 for being in-
toxicated." •* In me own house T' demanded Reillv.
and the reply " Yes, and for firing the pistol," made
room for the n^xt case.
erty as far as natural law will allow it to be, spread
broadcast through the community, every man having
what he can earn, and keep no more, there will vet
be another diffusion, for I feel sure that
safe republicanism consists in diffusion of
liberty, diffusion of intelligence, difi^laion of
property, aud diffusion of conscientiousness. These
fcpir things— liberty, intelligence, property, con-
scientiousness— ^unless we can saturate AjDoeriea
with them she ne\-er will be clay soft enough for the
hands of the potter, that is, for the hands of the aver-
age multitude. With the diffusion of conscientious-
ness we con have a diffusion of property, of intelli-
gence, and of liberty that sluul be sale. * • *
There is to me no hope for America unless we
give up the pet theory of onr fathers,
that the diffusion of liberty is enou|^ fr^ repnbU-
canism. The diffusion of tntelligence and property,
fair wages, after fair rates have been paid to capital,
and then diffusion of conscientlousuess, and nothing
short of this will save America from the evil we
have seen burst forth all the way from Baltimore to
Sau Francisco. Iu the Church is the siuCe^ of re-
pubhcanlsm."

IXCOXVEXIEXCE OF RED TAPE.
The Bristol (Penn.J Observer instances the fol-
lowing as an illustration of the apiwrently useless
inconvenience sometimes caused by the requirement
of a compliance with the forms of law in the settle-
ment of estates : "In Rockhill township a son, an
only child, and sole heir of the property of his wid-
owed mother, upon her death was reqcdred to take
out letters of administration, the same as if there
were other heirs. Although there are no debts to
pay and no accounts to collect, he had to buy an ac-
count book, in which to record expenses and re-
ceipts. He nad to give security in the stun of
$12.0O0 that be wo\ild honestly settle the estate and -
pay it to the heirs, of which he' is the only one : that
IB, that he would honestly pay himself. He had to
get two men t« appraise the property, the pn>oeeds
of which are to go to him. All this proved an ex-
pense to him of $75 to $100.
A FIELD OF FLOWERS.
The Trenton (N.J.) Gaztitiv enthusiastically
says: " Travelers on the railroad are charmed and
surprised at'a floral display near Lawrence Station.
At the stream and mill-pond near that place there
are, on both sides of the railroad, several acres of
brilliant red flowers, lar^r than hollyhocks, which
they somewhat resemble. They grow upon a stalk
three or four feet high, having broftd leaves. The
flowers are so thickly massed as to present an almost
unbroken surface of bloom, and the effect is bril-
U.int in the extreme. These Qowers have been
spreading at that place for several years, TVe re-
member when there was but a smalt cluster of them.
Now thei^.are several acres. We do not know the
name of the flower. We never saw any like it ex-
cept in the swamps of the South. The' largest and
finest display is on the left hand side of the railroad
going north, about five miles from this city."
A JULY ITEM FROM THE WEST.
The Georgetown (Col.) Mhier of the 4th inst.
says : " To Mr. John T. ililler of Montezuma, be-
longs the honor of having brought over the first team
and wagon this season across the highest pass in the
United States. He left Montezuma Saturday morn-
ing. July '2S. at 8 o'clock, and at '.i o'clock in the after-
noon he had his team in the stable in Georgetown.
Before he started he could have taken bets of $4 to
$1 that it would take him three da>*a to make the
trip. Of course it is no trick tobring a wagon over
when the road is open ; but you see when Mr' Miller
came over the road had not vet been opened. He
followed the trail generally, but sometimes struck
out boldly across fields of tmbroken snow. It was a
trjing trip, however, both on driver and team, not-
withstanding the fact that it was made in good time
and without accident."
A C AX DID ATE FOR THE LASH.
The Virgiuia (Nev,) Enterprise of the 4tU
inst. says : " The inmates of a certain lodging-hotise
in this city were, a few nights since, made wretched
and indignant by the abuse of a child by its father.
The child was but a babe, some 16 months old. The
infant cried iu the night, and the unnatural father,
declaring that he would ' break the child of that tem-
per it got from its mother,' commenced whipping it
about 2 A. !M., and kept up the whipniiu; at short in-
tervals until 5 A. M., trti fling the chilu's cries by put-
ting his hand over its mouth, and forcing the misera-
ble mother to listen in agony, but not permitting her
to interfere. The ladies in the house were n,earlv
frantic, but did not dare to go to the child's rescue.^'.
A BJTSIX ESSLIKE GEXTLEMaX.
The Indianapolis Sentinel tells this : " An in

enough to believe that when we have diffused prop- /yesterday morning over the Pan Handle Road. Af-
ter alighting from the coach to change cars he was
addressed by a hnstness-like gentleman as follows :
•Where are von going ?' ' To Kansas City. Mo.,' he
replied. • Have you a ticket ? If so, let me see it,'
said the other fellow. The passenger promptly
handed the ticket over to the business-like man. who
examined it Gainfully, and then turned and hurried
off. It was but a few minutes afterward when the
traveler discovered that a common piece of paper
had been returned to him,"

The money market was characterized by ease
throughout the week, and borrowers on call
experienced no diffionlty in supplying their re-
ijuirements at 233 V cent., with exceptional
transactions at even lower rates. Time loans
running until the close of the year were made
at4l2'33 ? cent, where the borrowers were
well known and the Securities flnt-olass. The

outlook is favorable. In the market for con^
mereial paper a moderate business ^ ras trans-
acted. Prime names were In demand and sold
at 4^ to G ¥' cent The banks look f nr a larger
discount business in the early fi ture, the
merchants having already begun pr iparations
for the fUl trade, and the market the efore has
a tendency toward firmer rates.
The foreign advices reoorted tht London
market comparatively quiet, and Cc osols and
United States bonds were alternately weak and
firm St a narrow range of fluctnati >ns. The
money market at London continue: easy, the
Bank of England discount rate renud ting at 2
f cent., while three-months' bills out: tde of the
bank are discounted at ISg'Sil'u **■ « '"*- The
Bank of England lost £670,000 bulH m tat the
week ending 'Wednesday. On Thursday
£122,000 additional was withdraw t on bal-
ance, put since that day the sum of £47,000
has gone into the bank on balance.
Tile Sterling Exchange market was weak and
the rates both nominal and for acttia business
were lowered toward the close. Verj little dis-
position was manifested to buy, ex lept in a
small way. The demand is checked )y the ex-
pectation of a free offering of bill: and still-
lower rates shortlV from the shipment of bonds
and free export movement of produce t ) Europe.
At the dose prime bankers' bills sold at $4 84

demand sterling. I
Speculation in j the Gold Boom was dull
throughout the week, and the market presented
no feature of importance. The price ! luctuated
between 105il<2 and IO5I4, the latter luotation
ruling toward, the close. It is cone ided- that
the future course of the market will be i^vemed
a good deal by the operations of the S jrndicate.
There was a rather active demand for cash
Gold, and daily loans were reported it flat to
4 ¥ cent, for use.
Qovemment t>onds were in the main: firm. At
times during the week the demand kas quite
active, and some ronnd amounts were paken for
investment by financial institutions. Another
caU for $10,000,000 5-20s by the'-Trfeasury is
expected this week. The Syndicate have made
settlements with the Treasury for {he 4 If
cent bonds to the ex^nt of $50,000|000. It
is expected that the remaining $25,
$26,000,000 recently negotiated in
try and at London will speedily be

bonds were very quiet, and the fluctuations
were alight in the entire list.
The.«tock speculation was characterized by
weakness early in the week, but later the mar-
ket exhibited decided evidences of strength,
and an advance in prices was recorded hn which
the entire list participated. The Granger stocks
and the trunk shares were conspicuous in the
improvement, the expectation of a large Fall
business for the roads stimulating purchases.
"Western Union was prominent in the dealings,

A XEW REMEDY FOR SEASIOKXESS.
A writer in the LoDdon Court Circular of July
28 says : '* I have heard of chloroform being tried
with success In cases of people suffering from
sea-sickness, and hydrate of chloral has also been
recommended. It now appears from a French pat>er
that nitrate of amyl la the best remedy, and that it
ought to be inhaled. Now inhaling anything: tinder
the circumstances strikes me as likely ,lo oe ver^
nervous work, and though possibly the remedy may
le effectual, most people would be afraid to try it.
My idea is that if people suffer when at sea they hod
better star at home, or make np their minds to bear
the anguish with as much philosophy as possible."
CARRIER-PIGSOXS XY GER^AST.
A Qerman paper gives some details of tho ex-
traordinary development ef the breeding and truniog
of carrier-pigeons lu Germany since the late war.
During the siege of Paris, as is well known, pigeons
afforded the only means of commauication between
the outside world and thfi luhabitonta of the be-
leagnred city. In order that similar messengers
might be avwlahle in the hour of need, pigeon-
houses wero established, after the conclusion
of the war, in most of the larger gar-
rison towns of Kortii and South Germany,
and now jHgeon-flylng la rapidly become a favorite
pastime and sport throtighout the country. The in-
cre:r3ed attention thus ^ven to the subject has re-
sulted in the observation of many peculiarities in the
birds. Carrier-pigeons of good breed, it is noticed,
although they inay be started in company and bound
for the same place, fly quite indepondently of one
another. Each one selects its own course, some tak-
ing a higher, others a lower flight, and speeds on Its
way without taking any heed of itanei^bors. The
birds, in fact, aeem to know that they are racing,
and each one axfirta its^ to the wtmort to arrira
fint at the ooaL In the natKhborfaood of every
tdgean-hoojia th«r« afe alwArseartaUtdaoM. tzMa.
Ac., whi<A are ustially favorite resorts of ttiehlids,
bat when coming in in a race the well-bred pigeon
never idops for a moment at any of these hatuits, bnc
flies straight to Ms own particular honse, freqaenlly
arriving there in so exhausted a state as to bo unable
even to eat the food it is most fond of. Birds which
are sitting, or which have lately hatched vounir, are
eenerally taken in preference to others for raring :
out instances have been known in which enrrier-
pigeons of. good breed which have been taken to a
fresh home, and which have hatched voung there,
have deserted th?ir brood and flown to their original
home at the first opporttmity they had of escaping.
TME LITE STOCK. OF lURKEY,
Tho London Times of July 31 says : " Be-
tnma made by British Consuls in April last relating
to cattle and sheep in foreign eotmtries include some
account of the live stock of Turkey. Consul Holmes
reports that in 1874, tho latest return, there' were in
Bosnia 211,125 oxen, 309,775 cows and calves,
2.223,336 sheep and Iambs, and 106,034 horses.
But already, in April, these numbers had been re-
duced by at least one-half, as, owing to theinsurroctlon,
the peasants in Herzecovlna, and along all the
frontiers of Bosnia, had fled in great nnmbers from
the conntry, and taken their flocks and herds with,
them, whenever it was possible. Lieut. -Ool. Mans-
field reports from Bucharest that the last statistics
show l,«at6.990 head of cattio in R^umania, and
4,786. 2flUj sheep; their quality Is too inferior to
bear theVxpense of an export trade to Eufcland
Consul-Oeneral Fawcett reports that in the Provinces
of Constantinople, Adrianople. and Broussa (Asia)
there were from 350.000 to 450.000 oxen, about a
like number of cattle, and from 7,000.000 to
8,500,000 sheep. The average weight of
dead oxen, Binking the offal, ts 30 stone
of 14 pounds, and of sheep from a little
over 2 stone to nearly 3 stone. In Asia the
sheep are the broad-tailed, which yield large quanti-
ties of tallow. Consul Sanderson 'r6partii.that in his
district of Galatz and Ibraila. as far i^coiiRHje ascer-
tained, (no numbers being obtainable in respect of
the interior districts.) there were nearlv 29,000
cattle, nearly 44,000 oxen, and 270.000 sheep. The
weight of grass-fed oxen, sinking offal, may oe said
to average 413 to 5 cwt. ; stall-fed oxen rtm
from 4^ to 5^ ewt., and fetch £14 to £18 a
pair. Tliey are small in size, and the quality of the
meat is not of the best. Acting Consul Barker re-
ports from Salonica, that there were in the district
about 3(X).000 oxen, cows, and buffaloes, and
1,2CK).000 sheep, but he says there are no statistics
to be relied on. The returns and estimates above
given were reported by the Consuls in April last. A
good deal has nappened since then.'

PerhmpsitisinfnlflUmeDt of the Scriptnral
usurazice that thinss humble shall be exalted that
Coney Islazid grows apace in popularity as » water-
Inp-place. and correspondingly in style, tone, and
fashionable pretension. It is not very long ago
when its reputation was decidedly nnlovely ; when
an ID-savor of no donbtfnl kind elung to the quarter
of it nearest tiie <^ty, and when it had not yet made
mach str&es eastward as to the points of the com-
pass, and toward a more desirable condition of things
In respect to its fashions and its morale. Bnt now
tempora muUtntur of a verity, and as
certainly nos mutamur in iUis Is true
of this delightfully progressive region.
Briefly. Coney Island extends its empire,
its institutions keep pace with its enlargements
d its necesaties. lA>cal journalism flourishes, and
every week the Coney Island SeraXd distributes its
complement of things spicy and pertinent. This
little sheet makes no pretense to grave moral suasion,
(what have gravity and morals to do be^de the full-
toned sea where people come to breathe the tonic
and unclolstesed air,) but it shoots at folly as It
flies with amazing expertness, and gathers and
w^effves verv deftly the harmless badinage and nn-
scathing gossip of sea-side idleness. And other
journals in little are engaged at the same task, and,
altogether, matters are wonderfully brisk this season
on the pleasant beach of Coney Island.
Nor is there any good reason why Coney Island
should not be one of the foremost among American
watering-places. It has a beach which is unoqualed
along the coast nearer than Cape May, and it is un-
paralleled in the matter of contiguity to the Metro-
polis. You can reach it from all points and in every
needful fashion. You can abide there at night if it
please you. but if you like better to return to the
City, there is no constraint upon you to remain out of
t-own. asat LongBrancii. Then again, Coney Islwid
1b the true republic of watering-places. A sojourn
there does not mean lofty isolation. You are pretty
much all the time on the aameplanewlth j-our fellow
mortals. You are no better and no worse than they.
Thft magnificent exclasiveneM of Newport, which,
being wealthy, lifts its spuming nose toward the
manaions above, as if the Kingdom of Heaven were
only .destined for the superior people who count
their shekels largely hore, does not af-
front your comparative iwverty. And, being
ft plain person, you are not at the
disadvantage that you would be among the swallows
of fashion that at Long Branch make a Summer.
You have no need to flauj>t suf^h gay plum^e, and
you can be more sparing of starch and pipe-clay.
But there are numbers of refined people who have no
desire to be exclusive, and conservativek^ people who
disdain to put on airs who have of late begnn to see
that their views can be best satisfied at Coney Island,
and so at present sonte of the best families of >'ew-
York and TSTOoWyn- are constant visitors hero.
It is espe^nallytrue that at the extreme eastern
«nd of the island the best provision is made for this
riass of custom. Here a veritable palace has grown
np in the midst of a Sahara, bnt the work of transi-
tion must necessarily last for some time. The prop-
erty which has been* acquired here by the Manhattan
Ecach Comp.iny was originally hardlv inviting. The
Iv'ach was nfl doubt superb, bnt for the rest, the land
»eemed fiat, marshv. and iminterestins. There were
rank growths of herbage, salt pools, dreary flats,
bat as a compensation the Atlantic beat on with its
true unceasing rythm. and its health-giving gales
swept over the dreary prospect. Ko Aladdin's lamp

sapita) from Boston. Thirtv-sevpn gentlemen joined
hands. They had some $2,000,000' to spend on the
raterprise. and not more than half of this sum has
"•^t been inrvested. But the affair grew rapidly.
" mber? and bolt* and beams began to cling together
•rith the coheaon which money gives;
feDow pine and pale .^.sh settled into their
proper places : decorative fantasies came
5bwn to the bleak unteuanted beach ;
rreen shmbs sprang up in strange places, and now
Fbereality of the splendid mansion and the promise
of the future garden tenant the once deserted shore.
But there are other tenants besides. Six thousand
people come down of week davs. and the visitor* on
Sundays amount to about 30.000. The trains are
ever mo^ng to and from the place with their full
fr^jthts : and yet the enterprise is only in its very
babvhood-
T&© great hotel (the largest on this coast) is only
fcnown as '"the small hotel," in deference to the fu-
ture msffniScent dimensions of the companion hostel-
rie whi<*n will take shape and form by and by. Then
there are to be growths of cottages until all waste
plates are filled up. And yet *■ the small hotel " has
all the extent and pretension of a community. It
does nearly evervthing for itself. It oakes its own
bread and "does all its own laundry work — excellent
business within the region of domestic econo-
my—but it also manufactures its owu gas,
which is more frequently a matter of mn-
cidpal concern. Pot all the vnrions duties
of this vast interest a staff of 350 servants is
needed. The domestics are quartered in the lower
portion of the building. In thtn portion, too, is the
feitchen. which has a range 100 feet long. The
bakery is close by, and the store-rooms are in the
same region- On 'a level with the piazza there are
four restatirant^. two east and two west, these being
again subdivided into inner and outer room.s. to meet
the exigencies of the weather. The ladies' parlor, a
gplandid apartment, is on the same level, ana above,
in the central pavUion. are i>rivate dining-rooms 34
by 16 feet.
Tho*Ieepin§-room!5 will accommodate GOO persons.
Varioir; outlying buildings are also rapidlv springing
np. What was once the Brazilian pavilion at the
Ccotennial Exhibition is already on )t« second legs.
It wOi be d« voted to beer — in hot weather, a not un-
desirable tipple. Another — the Japanese pavilion —
Trill for some time, at least, serve the useful func-
tion of a dairy, but it will probably revert by and by
to the condition of a regular .TapaneHe bazaar,
wherein ■ Japanese ladies will preside. Yet another
of these pavilions is s^ven altojcether to music,
and of coarse yields much deliyht m this new capac-
ity. The oonstmction of bathiuB houses progresses
ai.> rapidly as possible, to meet the f?reat demand of
bathers whO" prefer this part of the beach, and even
now there b© Venuses who come "flushed from the
fnll-flushed warre " as bravely aa any at Long Branch
or as the fair Baltimoreans at Cape Mav.
But although the prosperity of Coney Island is
now of an every-day kind, it i^ unquestionably on
Sundavs that it rises to its greaf^titnde of sntaress.
The whole place is an argument against a too strict
Sabbatarianism. Hard-workinK citizens troop down
there in thousands, and there is no irreverent of-
fense of the day imi^ed in their timely relaxations.
Their conduct is well ordered, bnt they verjr projwr-
]y object U* take their wrings in strait- waistcoats.
Yesterday was, for instance, one of those Sabbaths
when the dweUers in the City like to pour down to
the pleasant beach, and of a truth they followed
their inclinations. Every train and every steam-
boat oarri^l ita full freight, and some of the steam-
boats possibly bettered their specific functions in this
^natt«r. The managers of the different lines of
travel had their hanob full, and although the carry-
ing interests were for the most part egnal to their
engagements, the>' were not altogether free of fail-
ure. Thus the steam-boat Norwalk, of the Man-
hattan Beach Line, which should have called at Pier
So. 1 North River at 3 o'clock, found it inexpedi-
ent or impossible to make this delay, and so nunibers
of intendmg excursionists on that rout« and at that
time were disappointed. But there were channels
fnough to absorb all the travel. Sone
folk went over to Brooklyn and took the cars, and
others waited ^^K an hoar, caught the steamer Idle-
wQd at Rer No. 2, and, with charming adaptability,
made their objective point the western instead of
the eastern end of the island. In fact, everybody
who wi^edto go to Conev Island found facilities
enough at hand for his or ner purpose, and, being
there, a little squeezing and boring with elbow points
was amply atoned for- On the beach the day was
delightful. The tide was flowing, and the breeze
was southerly. The wind came in from aea-
■ward cool and delicious, and nearly all
the afternoon the ardent sun was hidden
behind rich fleecy clouds. The customary relaxa-
tions went on in the customary way. Some people
strolled along tJie strand, and were merely obeervers;
Dther? entered with abandon into all the passing
amusements. Thousands dipped into the cool, in-
viting Rtrrf. and in the full flush of the bathing time
to procure a box at some of the best patronized
[mints on the beach meant a considerable wait for
your tnm. It is unnecessary to say how the con-
«-ivial pleairarea of the hour went forward ; how the
■ucculent clam sputtered in the glowing embers,
or how tiie deft tapsters poured out
their foamins libations. The cool, amber lager was
jjQ mean beverage by th« fresh sea-side, and of a cer-
tainty was not meanly or stintedly quaffed- The
rifle range did its usual brisk business, the swmga
were kept in livelv motion, the fortune-tellers and
pocth^yers retailed thelr^ flatteries and promised
Dpulence. and in eve^ way the Island wore its
blight begone-dull-caie kind of aspect.

LEAST^S (UPTURE A2W ESCAPE.
THE NOTED CRIMINAL ARRESTED FOR THE
NORTHAHPTON BANK ROBBERY — HE
SPEEDILY BIDS HIS CAPTORS GOOD-BYE.
It has been known to s few for seTeral days
past that the noted John^ alias "Bed** Leary, thief,
burglar, escaped convict, and gambler, had recently
beea arrested for complicity in the great Northamp
ton Bank robbery, with Robert Scott and James-
Dunlap, who nave just been convicted of
^he offense; WUliam Connors, who broke ont
of Ludlow-Street Jail a short time ago,
knd James Brady, who was arrested several days ago
for shooting at a policeman. Efforts have been
made to keep the arrest a secret, because of the
chagrin felt by the ofQcers over his escape after they
had got him apparently safely captured. Leary was
taken in a hotel on the Fort Hamflton road, near the
fort, natronized by sporting men and questionable
persons. He was with his wife, formerly "Bed-
headed Kate " Gorman, a confidence woman
and shoplifter. Six detectives went there with
a warrant for Leary, based upon a requisition from
Gov. Rice, of Massachusetts. Two of the officera
waited on him, while the others remained near at
handto ^ve aid, if necessary. He deceived his cap-
tors by ms apparent willingness to accompany them,
and they permitted him to go into an adjoining
room, he pretending that he desired to speak to his
wife. He darted out of a door into the open air, and
then ran to the rear of the bouse where a horse and
huggywere waiting. He jumped in and drove away
down the road toprard Brooklyn before the officers
fairly realized his design. They started in pursuit
and fired several shots after him, but he laughed at
them and hallooed " Good-bye " to them as he disap-
peared from view. Learj- has made frequent esci^ies
from prison. _
THE SUGAR TRADE,
SENSATIONAL REPORTS OP *' IMMIKEKT RTTTN "
DENIED BY IMPORTERS — TRADE OP THE
PAST SEASON— THE MARKET NOT GREAT-
! LT OVERSTOCKED.
j A morning newspaper during the last week
has, for some reason not clearly apparent, under-
taken to represent that the sugar trade of this City
16 in imminent danger of ruin ; that the market is
lai^ly overstocked ; that there have been ruptures
between refiners and brokers in consequence of the
refusal of refiners to import through the brokers :
that many speculative firms were about to meet a
"spell" of financial weather, and that from $10,-
000,000 to $15,000,000 are "locked np" in
su^r in this City, upon which. " if a further fall in
nnces should occur," the aggregate losses would
reach "several millions of dollars." On inquiry
among leading firms engaged in the stigar trade, it
was found that there wa*? a unanimoos opinion about
the article referred to, and a few of the best in-
formed men in tbe business laughed at the absurd
Btorv, and said that it was so .supremely ridiculous
on its face that it was not for an instant likely to
itnislead.
I In many respects the condition of things among
sugar importers and refiner? is precisely the reverse
of what it was represented to be. During the
first four months of tliis year refiners were workinc
on rising markets, and undoubtedly made large
profits, which will probably exceed the losses on their
workings since, ana on existing stocks. On present
values of sugar they, are still working at a profit. So
far from being oppressed by a sense of imminent dis-
aster, they are very generally satisfied, and admit
that the bu.siness for the last six months was better
than for any correspond inR sjx months in many
years. Upon inquiry a reporter of The Tiues as-
certained from persons intimately connected with
the importing of sugar, that importers of that staple,
taking the old and regular houses, such as Moses
Taylor & Co.. E. D. Monran & Co.. Kine & Co.,
Knowlton & Co., Grinnell, Mintum & Co., Youngs &
Co., and other like houses, are found to hold no con-
siderable stocks. Taking the New-Vnrk sugar im-
porters as a class, probably they never had so Uttle in-
terest in sugar at this season of the year, or were
exposed to so little loss. It is said also that pi^bably
nine-tenths of the existing stocks of sugar are heM
for the account of shippers, and, consequently, what-
ever losses may finally result on the existing stocks
will mostly fall in foreign conntri'-s. These
losses will be far less than has been represented. A
broker of great experience, and one who Is doing a
very large sugar business, expressed the opinion that,
taking the actual cost of all the sugar now in stock,
the losses would not exceed five-eighths or three-
quarters of a cent a pound, or. on the stock in this
port, about $1,500,000. probably three-tenths of
whirh. as before stated, will fall upon the shippers
in Cuba or elsewhere. Stocks on the Ist
of this month in all ports of the
United States, amounted to 137.000 tons, as com-
pared with 87,000 tons in August, 1876: 185.000
tons in 1875. and 164.000 tons in Aueust, 1874.
The bulk of the year's supplies arrives here between
Feb. 1 and Aug. 1. The consumption of foreiicn
sugars in the United States is upward of 620.000
tons per annum, in view of which a stock o;f 150.-
OOO tons on the 1st of August cannot be re^fded as-
an immoderate one. The magnitude of the sugar trade
is aa great as that in any great staple. The value
of the imported raw sugar sold, duty paid, in the
United States this year will prot>ably exceed $rJ.'»,-
000,000, to which amount must be added the aiMi-
tionalcost of refining, about $2,000,000 more, and
to this may be added the value of the molasses im-
ported and now mostly refined, probably $50.0CK) -
000 or $60,000,000 more.
air. Solon Humphreys, of E. D. Morgan & Co.,
wb9 was reported a^ saying that the losses of im-
porters of sugar would not exceed $750,000. ex-
plained to the Times reporter that what he reallv
said was that he would imarsntee to make sood all
their losses ftor $750,000. To the assertion that
the New-York market is fearfully overstocked, the
best answer is a comparison of the stocks in this
and the two preceding years in New-York, Boston,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore :

EUNERAL OF PROF. ORAN W. UORRX^.
The funeral of Prof. Oran W, Morria, libra-

residence of his son. Dr. Morean Morris, in East Fifty-
second-street, took pjace yesterday afternoon from
Tabor Chapel, on West Twentysiith-street, a mis-
sion branch of the West Twenty- third-Street Presby-
terian Church, of which the deceased was the senior
elder. There was a lar^ attendance of the congre-
gs^on. In accordance with the wishes of the family,
there were very few decorations, the main piece be-
ing an elegant bed of tuberoses and ferns, sent by
Peter Cooper, with an inscription worked in blue vio-
lets, " Best in Jesua" The body, which was
inclosed in a plain walnut colfin, without
any handles or other ornamentation except the
platoon the lid, was met at the door of the church by
the Pastor, Eev. Br. White, and the elders of the
church. These gentlemen, together with Dr. Peet,
President of the Deaf and Dumb Society, and Dr.
Vandeweter acted as pall-bearors. The services were
conducted according to the Presbyterian ritual. The
organ wae ailent, and only two hymna were sung.
Rev: Dr. White made a short address. In the course
of which he said that the life of the deceased had
been a full and complete one. From 1S32 to 1869
he wes a Professor m the New-York Deaf and Dumb
Asylum, and was the first to teach deaf mutes labial
expression, or the language of the Up*. Bis first
pupil, who becaine very proficient, was William

5,000 ladies being on the ground to attend the Ocean.
Grove auxiliary of the New-Tork branch of the
Women's Foreign Missionary Society. The meeting
was held in the laxge Tabernacle, and was presided
over in the absence of the President, Mrs. E. H.
Stoke8,~^by-MTa Brooks, of Baltimore, aided by Rev.
Mrs. L Simmons, of Brooklyn, and Bev. Mrs.
Enowles, of Orange, K. J. Among those present
were Rev. J. F. Hurst, President of the Drew Semi-
nary ; Rev. George H. Whitney, President of the
Newark Conference, and WiUiam H. Falconer, Treas-.
nrer of the City Missionary Society of New-York.
Tbe services were opened by singing, reading of
the Scriptures by Mrs. Rev. Cookman, and prayer by
Mrs. Brandt, of Baltimore. Mrs. J. H. Knowles,
Corresponding Secretary, read her aimual report, in
which she stated that the success of the Gospel
among those immediately surrounding tis cannot fsfl
to elicit praise from every thoti^tf ul heart. Eighteen
hundred years ago the first missionary company
landed upon the shores of Etirope. There, In the
presence of a few women, the great Apostle began
his ministry upon that continent, and the Lord
gave the sign of His approving presence
by opening the heart of Dydia to take heed
to the things spoken by Paul. From that
time the blessed Gospel has gathered many a com-
pany of women together to pray and to rejoice in its
success. The Women's Foreign Missionary Society
have reason with all other Christians to look upon
and be glad at the wonderful works of the Lord. The
receipts of the seven branches of the society for the
year ending Feb. 1, 1877, were $67,698 27 ; three
missionaries were sent out, one to India, one to
China, and one to Japan, and five medical missiona-
ries with a dispensary and three hospitals ; three
orphanages and six houses and boarding-schools are
supported]; funds are supplied to carry on
work under the snperintendendence of wives
of misdonaries, which includes 140
Bible women, native teachers, and other helpers,
and 130 schools are sustained. It must be under-
stood that all this is additional to the great work
carried on by the parent board. Mrs. Knowl^
closed by claiming that the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society held a relation similar to that of
Phoebe, who, whatever difference of opltuon may
have existed as to her official position in the Church,
was recognized by Paul as a ''helper" and "minis-
tering servant. " Might it not be fittingly said of us.
as of "her. " Receive them, therefore, in the Lord aa
the saints should receive one another, and aid them
In any bu.<iiness wherein they need' your help, for
they nave aided many among ourselves ; also among
the rest."'
The Treasurer of the AnxiUary reported the an-
nual subscriptions paid in. $93 50 ; life membeishlp,
$^0 : generfll collection. $198 7-5 ; balance from pre-
vious year 75 cents ; total. $373. This amount was
patd over to the Treasurer of the New-York branch
of the Foreign Mission.
A letter was read from Mrs. Rev. Butler, of Mexi-
co, on the progress of missionary work in that coun-
try. A letter from India was also read. Addresses
were delivered by Rev. Dr, Woodruff, of Brookljm ;
Mrs. Rev. Knowles. of Orange, and a young mission-
ary who is about to start for China. A collection was
then taken up, and donations were made to make
Mrs. President Hayes and Mrs. Bishop Simpson life
members. A sum was also contributed for the edu-
cation of a little girl in India, who shall be named
Stokes in honor of Kev. E. H. Stokes.
This morning the Centennial building known as
Educational Hail, Jtist erected in Asbury Park, ad-
joining Ocean Grove, was crowded with nearly 5.000
persons from Long Branch, Deal Beach. Spring Lake,
Ocean Grove, and the Park, to hear Rev. H. Sanders,
Baptist minister from Yonkers, N. Y.. preach.
Among those of note present were Judge Cork, of
New-Brunswick, Hon. James A Bradley, Rev. Wil-
liam B. Corbit, and Judge Kent. The services were
opened by the reading of Scripture by Rev. Thomas
T. Everett, of Philadelphia ana prayer by Rov. Dr.
Corbit. Mr. Sanders took his text from Matthew, v.,
48, .** Be ye therefore perfect, even aa your father
who is in heaven is perfect." He opened his dis-
course by showing the importance of b«ing perfect in
the faith of God, and what constituted perfection in
Christ. He showed that God was disinterested in
his love. God was not obligrd to go outside of Him-
self to bless. " He ^ves oecause it is His everlast-
ing nattire to give. We have a perfect salvation If
we believe in a perfect Saviour. It is not that man is
perfect In himself, but that he is perfect in his belief
of Christ." He made several comparisons to show
what constituPml nerfection. ** A humming-bird was
not an eagle. \He might say to the humming-bird.
Be ye as' per^t in your sphere as t>e*^ eagle
is tn his. A rosW is a i>erfect roue, but jt is not a per-
fect man. Pulfill the end of your being as God ful-
fills his. A drop of water is not an ocean, yet it Is
part of the ocean. The one is as much in its sphere
as the other. It Is so with our relations with God.
We must be dependent on him because it is right. "
God, he contended, does not make any distinction- of
character, yet God does good to one man and not
another, why 1 Because the one man does not put
himself where God can help him. God's love is the
same to every man. He did not go outside when He
sacrificed Christ. He gave Himself. He hoped they
would open up the channels of His love in the
great work of human redemption. That was
God's idea He showed the character of
man. A man who acts bad toward
a man because he is bad is bad himself. A man who
is unjust to hia neighbor because he is un.fu.it is un-
just himself. A man Is a rogue who is honest be-
cause it is policy to be honest. You mtist l>e honest
because it is right. Policy is a fraud A naan can
never be an orator who has to stop to think what he
is going to s«y. He must be a man who in able to
talk without thinking. He closed by tirging them to
be i>erfect, that they micht lead a Christian life, and
do right toward God and all mankind.

MEETING OF THE AMERICAN TEMPERANCE
UNION — FREAKS OF A TOO ENTHUSIAS-
TIC CHAIRMAN. -
The tisual Snnday meeting of the American
Temperance Union was held yesterday afternoon in
the large hall of the Cooper Institute, in the presence
of a very large audience. The exercises were opened
with the singing of a new temperance song entitled
"Storm the Fort," which, though written to the
stirring tune of the favorite song, "Hold the Fort,"
was not so effective as might have been anticipated.
It was followed by Scripture reading and prayer by
Bev. Mr. Hutchinson for the success of the " tem-
perance warfare." Mrs. Emily Gates Conklin was
then introduced, and recited a temperanoo piece en-
titled "Behold my Work," which was enthusiastically
applauded. Mr. George S. Weeks next sang, with
bis nstiftl power, a temperance fong, beginning, "Let
ns rally roond the banner, "which was greeted witn
applause.
The song was followed by an exhibition of bad
taste on the part of Mr. J. B. Qibbe, the Chairman, a
person who is responsible for the absurd features
that of late have marred the otherwise interesting
character of tbe meetings of the Union. Stepping
forward as the last notes of tbe song ceased, he pro-"
nounced a eulogy of the * * good work ' ' a certain mem-
ber of the organization had accomplished in rescuing
a whole family &om ruin by having saved the father
from a drunkard's fate, and then, under the remarka-
ble plea of giving to the meeting "more of a relig-
ious character," astonished the audience by inviting
the "rescued" father, his wife, his two grown
sons, and two little children to come for*
ward, receive their certificates of membership
to the Union, and remained standing in the presence
of the audience, while Mr. Hutchinson, the " light-
ning calculator," offered thanks for their salvation.
One of the members of the family very naturally re-
sented this method of making a public exhibition of
himself, and replied with some warmth to Mr. Gibbs'
invitation, that "he did not care to advertise himself
in that manner." The rebuke, however, did not de-
ter the Chairman from carrying out his design, for,
gi\ Ing instructions to the " lightning calculator " to
pray for the husoand and his famUy, he stood
by while the doubtless weli-meaninjt, but
mistaken couple made a public spectacle of them-
selves for the glorification of a certain prominent
member of the SBsodation. The ceremony having
been finally concluded, the prineipal feature of the
meeting-^a temperance debate on the theme " Li-
cense or no License " — was begun b^ Hon. O. C.
Leigh, who, stepping into the rumseller s shoes, ad-
vocated, amid much merriment, the claims of hU
liquor-dealing clients in an ironical address, designed
to emphasize the evils of the liquor traffic. lusar-
guments being brought to a close, the negative side
of the question was discussed by Rev. M. H. Pogson,
who stanchly upheld the prohibitionists' doctrines,
and protested against licensing the liquor traffic on
any grounds- The debate having end^d, the exer-
cises were brou^t to a close ay singing bv Mr.
Weeks, and by the usual sianing of the pledge by
those of the auolenee who desued to abstam there-
after from the use of intoxicating beverages.
RETURN OF THE CANABIA IT PILGRIMS.
A parry of 30 or 40 persona, including a

tion of Montreal, arrived in this City from Montreal

Hotel, wnere. In the evening, an address of welcome
to FaiherJDowd from the St. Patrick's National As-
sociation was read by the President, Mr. M. C. Mul-
larky.' The address was filled with expressions of
aflfection for their reverend father and of thankful-
ness for his delivery from peril oto the outward vov-
age. Beplying to the address, Father Dowd said
that Che accident to the City of Brussels was a
blesaiiig, inasmuch aa it demonstrated tbe feeling of
brothetrly affection which existed among the people-
without regard to creed or nationality. This morn-
ing at 1 9 o clock the party will leave for Montreal.

PRESENT CONDITION OP AFFAIRS—ACTION OF
- THE PRESIDENT OP THE SYNOD.
The differences of opinion between the Board
of Trustees of St. Paul's German Evangelical Luth-
eran Churdi of St. Paul, in Henry-street, near Third-
place, Brooklyn^ and Rev. Robert Netmiann, the
Pastor of the church, are still imsettled.
The Board of Trustees are anxious to have
Rev. MT.^1-Riechter for their Pastor, instead
of lib. Netmunn, and the latter Is not
disposed to resign. The Trustees say that he lacks
the energy and ability necessary to increase the con-
gregation and extricate the church from its financial
dlfficultie«| w$d that, unless a more vigorous and elo-
quent preadier, like Mr. Rtechter. is called in, the
church will have to be discontinued. On the other
hand, Mr. Neumann claims that he has btdit up the
church, that he has a life tenure as Pastor under the
constitution of the church, and that the membership
has recently dwindled on account of the discontent
felt at the action of the Trustees. On Stm-
day. the 5th lust., and the preceding Sunday,
the Trustees endeavored to prevent Mr. Neumann
from preaching by fastening uie church door, but he
forced It open on each occasion, and preached to very
small congrM:ations. Yesterday the Trustees re-
frained from interfering with Mr. Neumann, the door
standing wide open when he came to the church,
but only about a dozen persons attended tbe services.
Mr. Neumann made no allusion in his discourse to
the trdtables, but, in conversation, said he should
consider it his dntv to remain firm, and not yield to the
pressure that was brought against him. He preferred
saying nothing further than that he would confer with
counsel today in reference to his legal rights, and
that a Btatemenfc would be prepared covering the
facts connected with the controversy. In order to
show that the Trustees had no charges to prefer
against him that could be officially entertained, he
exhibited the following certificate from the President
of the Lutheran Synod :
New-Toaa:, July 14, 1877.
I hereby certify that, as President of the Evangelical
Lutheran Synod of New-York and New^Jersey, I received
official notice from the Pastor. Rev. R. Neumann, and
from Mr. Schaffer, Secretary of the Church Council of
the German lEvangeUcal Lutheran CHiurch of St. Paul, in
South Brooklj-n. N. T.. to be in attendance at said
cbnreh on ^nrsday evening, July 12, 1877, at 7:30
o'clooTc, of ifhieh time and place omcial notire had been
S'vcn. to Investigate any charge or charge* that might
I preferred by any member or members, or even ex-
members of said conj^regation : that 1 attended to this
duty, and mot at tho above mentioned time and place the
said Rev. R. Neumann and about 25 individuals there
aanembled.
The object of the meeting was diKtinctly stated, and
the question was put by me fix dlflffircnt tijTies :
Ir there any one present who has any charge whatso-
ever to make a^inst Bev. R. Kouicann f Let him
now do so.
No one answered this Inquiry, though repeatedly
made.
I farther certify that Rev. R. N'aumann was willing
and prepared to have his complaints against them inves-
tigated also, but thay declined to hear him, and the
meeting adjourned a few minutes before 10 o'clock.
A. C. WEDEKIND.
President of Kew.Tork and NewTlersey Synod,
Mr. Charles H. Schaffer. the most active of the
Trustees opposed to Mr. Neumann, said yesterday
that the Board of Trustees would meet this evening
and determine upon their course of action. Mr.
Neumann had not the-^alities required for the pas-
torship of the church in Its present exigencies, and.
although be was paid no salary as minister, he re-
ceived valuable presents, and was given a handsome
salary by tl^e S}-nod for mission work in New-York,
to which he almost exclusively devoted himself, giv.
ing scarcely any attention to his pastoral duties.
A MUCH MARRIED MA^.
Upon the complaint of Sarah Bloch, Lehman
Levy, alias Se.sa Bloch, was on Saturday arrested
upon a charge of bigamy, and was yesterday commit-
ted for trial by Justice Kasmire, in the Fifty-seventh-
Street Court, in default of $2,000 bail. In her
affidavit the complainant, under her maiden
name, Baer, sets forth ^hat on the 5th ^y
of this month the defendant was married to
her by Rabbi Kaiser, well knowing at the time that
Emestina Levy, his wife, was living, and that they.
the comnlainant and (he defendant, lived together as
man ana wife for three days before she ascertained
tho fact of his previous loarrlage- The defendant
was examined privately by the Clerk, and said his
name was Lehman Levy, that he was bom Iq France,
and was 24 years old. His occupation he gave as
waiter. In answer to the question as to his gtUlt or
Innocence, he says: "I am guilty of the charge.
I thoneht I had a bill of separation from my other
wife, Lmestina, who is now livinK in the hospital on
the island." To his examination he sismed his name
as Levy Ijehman. Bloch. Levy, or Lehman — if, in-
deed, either be his name — has been in this country
about three years, and is said to have confessed to
his last \ictim that he left a wife on the other side
when he came here. He was married to Emestina
Brown on the 26th of January, 187H. Her brother-
in-law sa>'R that the defendant has not lived with h^r
for several months, but that he left her on the island
only a few days before his marriage to iliss Baer.

Another Bwimming match in the series ar-
ranged for the amosement of his patrons by the pro-
prietor of McCluskoy's Park, at Bath, Long Island,
came off yesterday afternoon in the presence of
qtiite a lai^ crowd, but was a comparatively unin-
teresting affair. The contestants were Samuel Nel-
son, otherwise known as "the Brooklyn Favorite, '*
and llewis DeSIott, whom tbe bills proclaimed as
•* NeT^-Yorkts Pride." An alleged stake of $300 de-
pended on the result of the match. The men were
taken out In a row-boat in the direction of the Lower
Quarahtine; and entered the water when a mile from
the starting point. The tide was at the flood and
running rapidly, and the awimmers, in order to reach
McClnskey s. had to describe an arc of a circle, mak-
ing the distance traversed mtich greater than a mile.
For the first quarter of a mile Nelson maintained a
good lead, but after that he was overhauled and
speedily jMwsed by his opponent, who kept in front to
theend. and won dv over a minute, his time being 18
minutes. It was plain that the men were very evenly
matched, DeMott having every advantage in point
of physiqud and in the mode of handling himself in
the water, j ^^^^
STEALING A KEG OF LAGER,
Thomas Troy and Michael Fitzgerald, of Man-

Court yesterday morning, charged with stealing one
keg of iager-beer valued at $3, the property of
Yeungliug ia Co., from a freight car of the Hudson
River siallroad, at One Hundred and Thirty-flrst-

Fereditch. a Balkan pass, and sent a strong re-
connoitering force as far as the Kartova, on the
opposite bank of which the Rusidans were found
in considerable force.

announces imder date of Aug. 12, that
Raesaia Pasha has retaken Kartova,
disarmed the Bulgarians, and re-estab-

which was defended by the Bulgarians in in-
trenched positions, and occupied the Kalofer
Pass. The rebels fled iat-o the Balkans, aft«r
losing 500 killed. Eleven Turkish soldiers
were killed and 33 woiaide^.
LoxDON. Aug. 14. — The i\>w«' Vienna dis-

than 00,0<>0 Kussian troops, with artillery, hare
passed by railway to Frateshti, " where
they assemble and then march to Sistova via
Simnitza. The decision to withdraw aU
pretensions of occupying the other side or the
Balkans in this campaign has caused an order to
be issued for the retirement of Gen.'Gourkho's

be of no use among the woofls and precipices of

LoNpoN, Aug. 13. — ^A Constantinople dispatch
» the Times by way of Syra says : "Your cor-
respondent at Karabuiiar writes that appalling
iccounts continue to come in of the misery of
fugitives from the districts devastated by the
Bashi-Bazouks and Bulgarians. Thousands of
women and children are homeless and perishing
for want of shelter, medical attendance, and
food. Immediate help on the largest possible
scale is most sorely needed. The Pasha in com-
mand here proposes to distribute the fugitives
aboat Constantinople, Adrianople, and Philip-
popolis, but no arrangements have been made to
receive them. The correspondent suggests the
formation of a city of refuge on an island near
Constantinople, under the protection of a neu-
tral flag and a neutral guarantee from the bel-
ligerents. Thousands of people are home-
less. The crops are rotting on the ground
ind no sort of provision is being made
for the Winter. The corresfwudent speaks
Favorably of the conduct of the Turkish repru-
lars, but severely blames the Government for
employing or not controlling the irregulars, who
scour the country, committing the worst ex-
>i8ses. Even the fugitive women and children
arho come for protection to the Turk.s have to
be guarded by the regular troops, lest they
should be further injtired by these savages.'*
The Constantinople agent who forwarded the
foregoing says: "From other letters which
have reached me I have little doubt that the
Bulgarians are behaving much in the same way
as the Bashi-Bazouks. It will be impossible for
the Christians and Slohammedans to live to-
Eether again in the disturbed districts. Even
Philo-Russians severely condemn Russia's con- ,
duct in first iQstigating the Bulgarians to re-
volt and then leaving them to the mercy of the
IHtrks, whose right to treat them as rebels is
bard to question."
The Times' Armenian correspondent writes
that the stories of Russian atrocities in Armenia
kre utterly untrue. The Russians have through-
out behaved well. The Turkish regulars also have
■>ehaved well, but the irregulars are guilty of
»trocitie.s past belief, despite the laudable ef-
forts of Mukhtar Pasha to restrain them.
liOJmoN, Aug. 14. — The Daily yew^ Bucha-
rest correspondent telegraphs : " I have
written the following as I received it .
and from the terrible accounts which
fugitives continually bring over t he
Balkans, I fear it must be only too true : * On
July 31, the day of the Russian evacuation of '
Esld-Saghra, the Turks ordered that all Chris-
tians, men. women, and children, should be
shot as they left their houses. Those who
remained within were burned alive. The order
was given to burn, down and destroy everj'
particle of Christian property in the place.
Many leading Turkish merchant;* took part in the
ftfTair. One dispatched a large nuinber of Bashi-
Bazouks all over the Tchirpan district. This
district is one of the richest in that part
of Turkey. It contains a very large
proportion of Christian inhabitants, over
§0 churches, and 500 schools and colleges,
all of which h&ve been burned. The
destruction extended to the villages Boghdan-
Mahalesi, Bani-Mahalesi, and many other?.
In all about SO. containing from
150 to 200 families each. Scarce-
ly 50 persons have escaped alive. The
Bulgarian fugitives at Gabrova and Selvi esti-
Doate that from 12,000 to 15.000 Christians
aavebeen massacred in Eski-Saghra and^the

Keni had taken refuse, and were burned alive. It
adds that the Russians compel, under penalty of
death, tbe Musatdman prisonera to flre
upon the Ottoman troops which, come to
their relief. The Machir, Stileiman Faaba, has
t«legraphed to the Minister of War that
12 unarmed Mussulmans, inhabitants of the village
of Soukoulon, near Eski-Saghra, having aurrendered
to the Russians, seven of them were massacred with
axes by the BulKarians. and three others by the Cos-
sacks. We have ordered a statement to be made as
exact as possible of the number of houses destroyed
by fire, and of the Mussulman inhabitants killed by
the Russians and Bulgarians in the villages which, to
the present dat«, have suffered the most by the eno-
mv's invasion. I transmit the result, which is aa
follows :
First — At Bat&k, a village 'exclusively Mohamme-
dan, in the distiict of Sistova, 100 hou-ies were
burned, 200 men and 300 w^omeai perished : total,
500 victims. It is believed that seven inhabitants
survived.
S>ecand — ^At Balovan. a Mtissnlman ^village in the
district of Tirnova, 250 houses were burned. 700
men and 1.20O women perished ; in all, 1,900 vic-
tims. One person only it is believed escaped from
the massacre.
Third— At Caba-Bonnas 100 houses -were burned,
200 men and 300 women perished ; total, 500 vic-
tims. Two persons escaped alive.
FourtJi — At Ke^tambal, 150 houses were burned,
30O men and 600 women perished ; total, 000 vic-
tims.
Fifth — At Chems. a mixed village, 60 Mussulman
houses were destroyed, 120 men and 200 women
perished ; total, 320 victims. One person only es-
caped.
Sixth — At Tund.ia. a mixed village, 100 houses
were destroyed, 250 men and 400 women perished ;
total. 650 Tiftims. Only three survivors.
Eere follows the number of the houses set on fire in
the villages abandoned by the inhabitants before tho
enemy's arrival : At Pranich Honri, -10 ; at Beran,
150; at Odallar, ISO; at Amdlouk, SO; at Bonrouck.
100;. at Kodjiua. 70; at Okdijei, 200. Total, fi20.
Between 40 and 50 mixed villages, each containing a
minimum of 100 houses, are also mentioned, and
whose Mussulm.an inhabitants had surrendered to
the Russians. Their fate is unknown. You will
think, as we do, that these frightful statistics are the
most overwhelminc evidence of tho ruthless cruelty
of the Russian policy.
CoNSTAXTiNOPiiE, Julv 24.— The Govemor-Gon-

Rnstohuk that on Sunday last some Russians and
Bulgarians had massacred every inhabijtant, except*
three women and two men. of the village of Veni-
Keni, eight hours distant from Osman-Bazar. In the
village of Kosh. nine hours distant from the -same
city, they killed five persons. A telegram from
Mukhtar Paslia, sent to the Minister of War,
relates the folIowinE; painful facts : On

some information reaches us from the'se.it of Avar la

have adopted the general and uniform system to try
to seize defenseless villages, and, after destroying
them with cannon-shot, to ma-ssacre the unarmed in-
habitants and carry off the women for the purpose
of outragine their persons when they are not killed
at first. The Russians threaten the Christian vil-
lages with the same fate if they do not surrender or
if their inhabitants refuse to V»e enrolled.

Oltexitza. Friday, Julv 27, 1877.
The rapid succession of tiefeats sustained
by the Russians during the last week has a
much more important bearing than might be
supposed/ from the events themselves. That the
column acting on Plevna should or should not
have been successful in its attempt to enter the
Valley of the Osma will not materially influence
the result of the campaign. It will be, and prob-
ably has been, reinforced, and will certain-
ly force its way on toward Widdin, which, in
due course of time, must fall, but a considera-
tion of the circumstance of the action will pos-
sibly check a little the blatant joy of ultra Russo-
philes, and, let us hope, cause amateur strategists
to be a trifle more mjoderate in the assertion of
their predictions. On the 28th of June last the
entire Army in the Vilayet of Widdin. amounted
in round numbers to 27,000 men, inclusive of
five squadrons of cavalry and 14 batteries o'f
field guns, and of these, last only about one-half
the number was properly horsed- The cavalry
consisted of wretohodly-mounted Circassian and
Bashi-Bazo^ks uniformed as Nizans ; of
the infantry, 60 battalions in all, about
one-half belonged to the same category as the
cavalry- The balance was composed of Redifs.
At the commencemel^J of the month of July —
and there has been n\. possibility of reinforce-
ment since that date — this force was disposed
as follows : 6 battalions' and 2 batteries at
Novosilo and Florentin. between Widdin and
the mouth of the Timok. to defrmd that part of
the Danube line which, is threatened by an ad-
vance from Roumania; 12 batteries, 1 field
battery, and a squadron of cavalry at Adlie,
south-west' from Widdin. in observation on the
road leadiug from Sairschar, in Servia, through
Veliki levor ; 4 battalions at Belgradjik, to
secure the communication -^vith JKish end the
lower valley of the Timok, and prevent a cav
airy mid which might be attempted through
Lorn Palanka ; 3 battalions and 1 field battery at
Bellarada, on the high road between Widdin and
Adlie, about two hours' march south of the
main 'position ; IS battalions of infantry. 4
squadrons of cavalry, and 6 batteries at Wid-
din ; 3 battalions and 1 battery at Lorn
Palanka ; 14 battalions and 3 batteries at
Eahova.
Ihera are no good lines of comTflnPiffatinn be-
tween these positions, the necessities of whose
respective defenses would prevent the with-
drawal of any considerable~^portion of their al-
ready feeble gftrrisons for service in the field,
so that it is doubtful whether Osman Pasha
could have put into line more than 8,000. or,
at the most, 10,000 men, with possibly six bat-
teries and, with the concentration of the entire
cavalrv in the vilayet, five squadrons of very in-
ferior horse. On the other side, and taking the
official organization of a Rus-sian division as a
basis, there must have been 12 battalions of in-
fantry, at least one regiment of six squadrons of
regular cavalry, and three or four sotnias of Cos
sacks, with fotir batteries. This last estimate is
probably tmder the mark, as the proportion of
artillery to infantry in the Russian Army is
usually five guns to every 1,000 men. In short,
the Turks numbered 8.000 to 9.000 at the out-
side; the Rtissians 10.000 to 12,000, yet the
latter were not only repulsed, but driven off the
field with the loss of a portion of their baggage
and artillery wagons, and Gen: Kriideners'
corps has been ordered to proceed to their re-
lief without a moment's delay. Before his ad-
vance Osman Pasha will probably fall back on
his reserves, and only give battle when he has
been reinforced on some point nearer his base,
as a defeat at Plevna would seriously jeopardize
his retreat on the fortress.
The restilts of the engagements just fought
are thus important, because they show that the
Russians ai*e not as invincible as tlieir worship-
ers would maintain. The Tiu*ks will fight well
whenever they are decently commanded, and
Osman Pasha "is a General of no common abil-
ity, since with troops inferior in both numbers
and quality he has inflicted a serious defeat
upon the enemy. I am pert'cctly prepared for
the objection which will certainly lie made.
The Turks had the advantage of position. Of
this there is no doubt; but therein lies the
talent of their commander. It does not dimin-
ish from the credit due to him because he knew
how to profit by the principles of strategy, nor
does it speak very highly of the abilities of the
Russian General who accepted Imttle on such
very disadvantageous terms, and sacrificed his
troops simply through uureasuuing brute
courage.
Nor is tho defeat of Plevna the only indict-
tion of a possible twn of the ti<le. I have al-
ready alluded to the check of the Russian
"demonstration." as they call it. tipon Rus-
tcliuk. where abont 10.000 Turks repulsed a
really serious att.-ick made from PjTgos on their
western line of defense. There h'ns als^n been a
defeat at Silistria, but of thi.'*. as indeed of both
the other afl'airs. all details are caret'idly sup-
pressed. The uew Comnmnder-iu-Chief, Me-
hemet All. is endeavoring to repairthe mischief
caused by his predei'e.ssur's apatliy and incapac-
ity, and tho positions taken up by the Army of
the Daniibe. acc^>r(linff to the la.st accounts, in-
dicate a certiiiu knowledge of his profession
and an intention to dispute the possession of
tho quadrilateral, without which no Rtissiaii
successes elsewhere can he decisive. Tho lines
of Shumla are held by 30.000 men; OO.OOO
forms the Army of operation against the
force of the tV.aro\viteh between Ishum-
la and Rasgrad; 50,000 on their
way to the Balkans through Eski-
Stamlx)ul, and about ijll.OOO more are eche-
lonned from bilistria to Varna. I should add
that this disposition of tho troops has not been
materially changed from tho one prescri)>ed by
Abdul Kerim, with the exception of the detach-
ment moving toward the Balkans in order to
act in concert vrixh the operations of Suleiman
Pasha agaittst the Russian corpsat Yamboli. The
difficultj* of combining at the proper moment
the movements of contrustic columns acting
from different and distant bases is the only ob-
stacle to twC success of this piece of strateg>* ;
the Russians may beat the two armies in detail,
as th^ Austrians might have done at Sadowa,
but if they unite there will be u heavy butch-
er's bill and a very large contingent of Giaour
prisoners to be forwarded to Constantinople.
where 1 hope they will be treated a little more
in accordance with the usages of civilized war-
fare than appears to be the case with the Os-
manli who are brought over to this side, where
Vae victis is the order of the day.
According to the local papers, which publish
nothing unless authorized so to do by the Rus-
sian Press Bureau, the majority of the pri.son-
ers are marched by roa<l as far as the frontier,
the wounded only and the officers being sent on
by rail. They are in gangs of 40. .50. and 00
men, manacled together in couples, and attached
to a chain passing from the first to the rear-
most files, and in this condition are obliged to
make the entire journey — sometimes over .">00
miles. Their escort consists of those gentle
savages, the Cossacks, who are enjoined to be-
have with every consideration to the hapless
captives. How this injunction is obeyed I leavo-
my readers to judge, recommending to their
perusal the recital of the amenities which they
have displayed already at Nikopolis and other
places in Bulgaria, according to the testimony
of even those well-known Russophiles, the
correspondents of the London TnmK the
Daily News, and the Manchester. Guardian.
There would have been a howl of virtuous in-
dignation If the heathen Turks had presumed
on such a violation of the law of nations, and I
don*t think that a similar instance of the treat-
ment of soldiers lite galley slaves has been seen
in Etirope for a couple of centuries ; but here it
has passed almost unnoticed, or. if spoken of at
all, as being quite natural, as so nun^erous a de-
tachment of prisoners, if not in chains, would
require too large an escort to be spared by the
Russians under present circumstances. At
lea-st such is the view taken of the case by the
distinguished gentleman jvho now directs the
semi-official newspaper in whose columns are to
be found the ideas of the Government, revi.<od
and corrected in accordance with the instruc-
tions issued from the Btireau of, the Russian
Police.
The Roumanians did not want to go to Xikop-
olis, and some of their statesmen protested, but
they have a king stork now instead of a king
hog, and there was no help for it. There was
no use in refusing to obey orders, and there is a
consolation inthe thought that no danger atteud.s
the operation, and that there will be a good
chance for the- manufacture of orders of the
day, in which the valorous deeds of their ances-
tors will be sung in grandiloquent terms. I
wonder will they remind the world that the
last appearance of a Roumanian Army at this
particular locality was in 1396, when that
" lion of the faith '' and "bulwark of ('hristian-
ity," Prince Micia, helped Sultan Bajazet to de-
feat and capture the Array, of Sigisraund, of
Hungary 1 However, thero will be a fine oppor-
tunity tor winning cheap glory, and as the
Roumanians are a clever people, they will make
the moat of it, and finally talk themselves into
the belief that they are really heroes, even
should they fail to impo.se the conviction upon
the ignorant outside barbarians of Western
Europe.
As Giurgevo has ceased to offer the slightest
interest for the moment. I have come over to
this place, in the hope of seeing or hearing
something worthy of record, but all that I c^n
tell is that. Oltenitza is a miserable little town of
4,000 inhabitants and a small garrison of Rus-
sians, and with a few water batteries armed
with heavy guns along the Danube ; also that
exactly opposite is another miserable little town
called Turtakai, with 5,000 inhabitants, a
Ttirkish garrison, and a petty fori, or rather
block-house, between which and the warlike in-
stitutions on the left bank there is a spasmodic
bannonade occasionally, neither belligerent tak-
ing much harm from his adversary, the
advantages of po.sitional command ly-
ing with the Turks ; those of weight
of metal with the Russians. The
officer in command assured me that there
are only 2,000 Ottoman troops on the other
side, and that "he could go there whenever he
pleased with 500 men." He changed tJie subject
when I asked if he were equally' sure as to the
manner *^d date of his return. Calarach, fpur
hours further on, opposite Silistria, is equally
uninteresting with Oltenitza. Here there are
more cannons and more troops, not so. much to
operate against the right baiik, which entirely
commands the fiat, marshy Wallachian nosition,
hut in order to check Turkish raids, or, per-
haps, to keep at bay, until something could be
organized iidand, a Turkish invj^ion, a danger
by no means imaginary-, of which Prince Gor-
tschiikoff has already expressed his apprehen-
sions- Perhaps it v.-as their exile from civiliza-
tion and amusement which made the Russian
officers a little moi'Q communicative than
their comrades elsewhere, for certainly when
alone with me, they ventured upon rather free
criticisms of the campaign. Wonderfully well
posted in the theory of their profession, these
gentlemen aro equally ignorant of its practical
working. They are disappointed evidently ;
they expected a triumphal march to Constanti-
nople, with just enough resistance by tho
enemy to give occasion for a free distribution
of St. Geoi^'s crosses and to help on promo-
tion, but they don't at all fancy outpost service
in a dirty Wallachian village, with a broad
river between them and the Turks, without any
onportunity for winning distinction. They are
_i&4d of jgeace, and yet they say that peace.

receiptor numerous dispatches from Gen. Gib-
bon through Gen. Teny at St. Paul, and Hon.
Martin Maginnis, Delegate to Congress from
Montana to-day, regarding the late
flght with the Nez Perces. It was de-
nied that Gen. Gibbon lost any gfun or
camp outfit or supplies, as was reported. Gen.
Sheridan telegraphed to Washington this even-
ing that he regarded this as one of the most im-
portant victories of the war. The people in Mon-
tana are well satisfied with the result of the
battle as is indicated by the dispatches whfch
rcachea here to-night at military head-quarters.
Following is the substance of a dispatch to Gen.
Sheridan from Hon. Martin Maginnis :
Helena, Montana, Aug. 13, 1877.
Gibbon, after a rapid march of 200 miles, with
150 soldiers and 33 citizens, overtook all the Idaho
bostlles, about 350 warriors, on the northerly edge
of Big Hole prairie- Leaving a guard with
his train, he made a night marcli and attacked at
daylight. He drove the Indians from their camp,
and got a position on a timbered point,, around
wlilch he fought till dark, when the Indians retreat-
ed. Their killed ana wounded are estimated at 1.50-
The reports that the Indiana got Gibbon's wagons
are false. They got nothing but a severe punisli-
ment in the hardest fought battle of the war. "

My loss in the battle of the 9th was seven

were counted on alX)Ut one-half the battle-field.
Gen. Howard haa just arrived, and I believe he

Chicago, Aug. 13. — A meeting of the
Chicago policy-holders of the Charter Oak Life
In.surance Company was held at the Sherman
House this afternoon, for the purpose of hear-
ing the report of the committee of three
recently chosen to visit Hartford to
represent the interests of said policy-
holders and see what their chances were. Rev.
Dr. W. H. Ryder presided, and. as Chairman of
the committee, read a report roundly condemn-
ing the management of Furber and
Walkoley as one of barefaced rob>>ery,
and indorsing the present greatly improved con-
dition of the compafly. Hon. William Bross,
one of the committee, in speaking to the report,
said that, as Western men and policy-
holders, t^ey should give Hartford and the
State of Connecticut to understand that they
mean business. For one, he demanded that
Furber. "Walkeley, and others interested
in the robbery of the Charter Oak
Company l>e sent to the Penitentiary
for their stupendous ^iUainv. Hartford must
punish her scoundrels, he added, or confidence
m her trustworthiness and her honesty is for-
ever gone. Mr. George Sherwood, anotberof the
committee, said: ** We came to the conclusion,
and that after thorough investigation, that
these persoiLs — Messrs. Wiggins and Furber —
who were intrusted with the immen.se
orphan fund, were installed in their
place through corruption and fraud, and
their management has been reckless,
crtie! and criminal. For one 1 can- permit no
apology for them, and cannot remain silent and
allow them to go unpunished." At the con-
clu-sion of Mr. Sherwood's remarks Mr. Bross
felt constrained to remark, with all respect
to the opinions of Rev. Dr. Ryder, that in
the language of the late Parson Brownlow.
it was his deliberate opinion that there
were hundreiis of thousands of far better men

tors of the C'harter Oak. Life Insurance Com-

CISIOX — THE FIRING ON THE AMERICAN
CONSt'L'S BOAT AT ACAPULCO.

of State has rpceived a dispatch from the
t'nitod States Minister to Mexico, giving an ac-
count of t'he distribution of premiums in the
City of Mexico to Mexican exhibitors at the Cen-
tennial Exhibition. He says the distribution
took place at the Xational Theatre, the awards
being made l)y the President of the Republic in
the presence of his Cabinet and a large audience.
A procession composed of the industrial organi-
zations of the city escorted the President to the
tbeatre. A general sentiment of gratification
was manifested at the successful part taken by
Mexico in thr Exhibition, and for the attention
which its Commissioners and exhibitors had re-
cei vcd.
Another dispatch from the same source
state* that the Federal Supreme Court of Mexi-
co has recently decided that under the Constitii-
tion the legislative, executive, and judicial pow-
ers are independent, and that the functions of
one cannot be delegated to or be exercised by
either of the others, so that the Executive, by
virtue of ** extraordinary faculties *' conferred
even by Congress, cannot impose taxes or de-
cree laws. A tax of one per cent, upon capital
levied July 19, 187t». by a decree of President
Lerdo. bv virtue of the "extraordinary facul-
ties'* conferred by Congress, being disputed by
a citizen who sought the protection of the court,
occasioned the alx)ve decision.

St. Louis, Aug. 13. — Col. John . X,
Joyce, the only victim of the Whisky Ring'wB.o
was not pardoned out of the penltczitiary by
President Grant, was released to-day by United
States Judge Krekel, at Jefferson City. Th«
case came up on a writ of habeas corpus, th«
plea of Joyce being that his sentence of three
yearsand a half was cumulative, that ho could
not have been legally sentenced to more than
two years' imprisonment, and that, having
served that period, he was entitled to discharge.
Argument was heard by Judge Krekel three
weeks ago, and since that time the prisoner baa
been allowed the freedom of Jefferson City un-
der the espionage of the Marshal. The follow-
ing isthe material part of the court's opinion :
** Joyce's case happened to bo the first of tho long
line of" whisky f ranu cases tried hfrc- and in other '
courts. Well do I remember my deep anxiety to
bring the offenders to juRtice on the one hand,* and
not to be unjust to the defendants, upon whom out-
Tage«l public justice was about to descend. Th*
justice of the case is now ronijwtratiTely

St. Lons, Ang. 1^^. — There has been con-
siderable flutter in St. Louis insnrance cix^lea
to-day by the announcement that three "more
local insurance companies were on the verge of
bankruptcy, and that tho State Commissioner
had applied for injunctions to restrain them
from doing buKiiic^s. The companies involved
are the Jlissouri Mutual. Atlas, and Desolo.
The Insurance Commissioner states in his peti-
tion that on the 2:M of .luly, I S77, having gooc
reason to believe that the affairs of these fora-
panies were in an unsoun<l condition, he de-
manded special slatement*^ of tbeirbii.siuo.ss. Th€
statements furnished salislied the Commissionei
that all was not right. He appointetl an experl _
to examine the books. The re-nitt of the es;
pert's esatnination showed all three companies
to be in au insolvent condition. wher»:-upon the
Commissioner applied for writs of iujuaction.
Tlie application will be heard to-morraw, but
there is little doubt that the injuncbons will be
granted aud made perpeiual. a« thr- companies
are known to be in a bad fix. If i h<' re.ports are
true, several other companies here will soon fol-
low in the saniu wake.

me to come to a conclusion upoTt this branch of tho

/.•|>W — In continuing to pay its depositors subse-
quently to March. 1875, was the Third-Avenue Sav-

Bankrupt act. by making prefereuiial pajTUt^nts

Ikdujs'apolis, Ind., Aug. 13. — Senaitor
O- P. Morton passed through this city this erjen-

was accompanied by his family and his physi-
cian, Dr. M. C. Thompson, of this city, who
met him at Peoria in response to a telegram,
and will remain with him until there is an im-
provement in his health. The Senator's sick-
ness is quite serious, and is thought to be the
result di over-exertion. There were grave ap-
prehensions at one time during the journey that
he wouldnotgethome alive. His condition to-d&y
was, however, much better than yesterday. The
left arm is paralyzed, but the physician thinks
only temporarily. There is no symptom of
paralysis in his face, and his mind 1ms not been
at all impaired. Should his arm continue par-
alyzed he will he rendered helpless, as he cae
only been able to walk by the support of c&nea.
Dr. Thompson thinks that in tame he will re-
cover the use of the arm, but for the present he
will be permitted to see no one except bU

Each year aotes the inoreaaing |>apularity
of this region. Tha conntleu delightful walkj,
whether oa the open road or In tha aeclodad
forest patha. the nomeroaa caseades, and soli-
tary moTzntain tamBr offer a combination of
XDOuntain and forest scenery unsarpas«ed, per-
haps, in the country. The valley itself ia not
more than seven miles long, and through Its
entire length flows the Eastern An Sable, now
rushing in noisy rapids, now falling In grace-
ful caacades, and again ailently regidnlng ita
spent force in deep, still, trout-abounding pools,
until its tnmultnons course is merged in that of
its western branch, at their meeting at "the
Forks/* Twenty years ago the attraetlona of
this vsUev were hardly known beyond its own
mountain walL In 1857, Mr. T. S. PerUns,
and close upon him a number of other cele-
brated artists, penetrated this neighborhood,
and by their sketches and paintings disclosed to
the outside world many of the charms secluded
among the mountain fastnesses ef the region.
The elevation of **the Flats" (the local name
of the valley) is said to be 1,200 feet in the
moro populous parts, while Mrs. Stetson's a|id
and Smith Beede's boardings-houses at the
southern end are at an elevation of about 300
feet higher. The mountains Hse abruptly from
the valley on all sides, coasplcnons among
which are Camel's Hump, Hopkins' Peak, ,
Giant of the Valley, and the triple-headed Spread-
eaele Mountain. Within sound and almost
within siglit of "Stetson's" are the rapids
known as Russell's Falls, where the river falls
200 feet in a distance of about 1,500 feet. The
river here Hows through a de^ ravine in places
100 feet or more in height, and with its rocky
flurroundings presents a scene of such wildnens
and solitude an to recall the scenery of the
Kocky Mountains. Thft "falls" may be
reached by a path from the road past Stetson's,
or by following the blazed trail in the rear of
Beede's. Thi.s trail lead8 to a point on the sum-
mit of the porge whence the rapids may be seen
many feut below. Following the trail a few
rods further up the river, a scene not less cu-
rious than beautiful is presented. The river,
flowing withirreat force and rapidity, has worn
a channel through the huge boulders, and
Bweepin^r around in graceful curves foxms a
cataract shaped like a great letter S. A ahort
distance above and close by the trail the brook
passes tbrouch a deep crevice forming *' the
Flume." A walk of half an hour brings one
in front of the Beede Houao. where the best
view of the Oiaut. its sides marred and
scarred by land-slides and avalanches, is ob-
tained. Far up on the mountain-side the sum-
mit of Roaring Brook Falls, otherwise called
the Giant's Cuscadc. is seen, white and spark-
line: in the :3unUght. Au easy walk of about
half a mile, and the Staubach of the Adiron-
datks is reached. Roaring Brook from its lofty
m<mntain source comes tumbling on ita way un-
til :t pours its waters in a series of leaps over
tht' pteep sides of a granite wall or precipice,
whiise heiirht i» variously estimated at
from ;»00 to ."jOi"* feet. Nothing could be more
tempting than the invitation this solid rock, in
its easy repose, soems to offer to the pedestrian
to opcend it. A number of persons have, I be-
lieve, attempted to scale it; among others, a
certain visitor, a few years ago, who, when half
way ui> the cliff, felt his courage collapse bo
coniplerely that he was left perfectly helpless.
It was not until ropes had been obtained and a
comrade had slid down to him from the top, that
he was rescued from his singuiarly picturesque
position. ^
Olio of mv many visits thither was paid soon
sfter a heav-y rain. The rotrk was still wet and
slipper}', and ono band was encumbered with an
tinibrrUa. Yielding to an insane impuh*e, I
scrambled up the face of the wall, and bad
reached about half way to the top, when sud-
denly the clouds broke, and the spray was im-
mediately illumined with a brilliant rainbow.
To ono standing: on a three-inch ledge, with
1Z)0 fpet of precipice al>ove and below, even a
rainbow is hardly solid enough to give a se-
c'lrp foothold. Nothing more substantial,
however, soomed to offer itself by
way of assistance, and the descent was
Ihi'^uu and euded almo.st simultaneously.
Tiicrc is a more rational method of making the
ascffnt than by imitating the tactics of the squir-
Tf-l. and thati'abygoingupbythesideof thecliff.
There is no re;^ilar patn. and it is very steep
rlimhing. The ground i« very soft, and the
tourist frequently sink,s up to his knees in the
moss. A scrambling walk, or rather wade,
leads to the top of the fall, where, in the raag-
niilcence of the view, the toilsome ascent is for-
gotten. At a Khort distance below the fall the
brook is crossed by the trail to Chapel
For d. Huffe moss-covered boulders are
Rtrpwn with lavish munificence along the. path.
The lakelet is perched high tip on the aide of the
mountain, the cliffs of the Giant rising almost
pTyipndi'ularly from its shores. The pervading
Silence and solitude render the place a favorite
resort for deer-*loatiug ; with a skillful hunts-
man on one side and the impassable cliffs on
the other, a deer wotUd have little chance to
escape. A bKnd trail leads to the north-west,
about half a mile, to another secluded lakelet,
400 feet Jiigher, known as the Giant's Wash-
bowl. Visitors in search of the picturesque will
find an interesting but laborious walk up the
bed of Chapel Pond Brook, tlie outlet
of the i>ond, where the rock grouping
is of the moat remaricabJe character.
As tlie Giant's Ca.scade is the kinc, so the rain-
bow is the queen of the water-falls in this region.
Following the path through the forest to the
lower Au Sable Pond, and crossing the drift-
wood which forms a natural bridge at it* outlet,
the trail w>on after strikes Rainbow Brook.
Ascending the bed of the brook for about half a
mile, fOne suddenly enters a gorge, the rocky
walls of which towers over 100 fe«t above. The
tides and the rocks in the bed of the brook are
covered with a brilliant green mosa. and the
fiwrroundings are remarkably beautiful. Over
the sides of this glen the brook makes a clear
leap of 120 (some say 140) feet.
Purti are a very few of the many attraeflons
in and about this ** the greenest of our vaUeys.'*

held laat erenljig In the Scotch Freabyterian Chnreh,
(Bar. Dr. Milligan*t») on Twanty-eJghth-street, be-
tween Ninth and Tenth avenues. Tbeia was a very

nanters balng Boaroely one-third folL The meeting
was opened with prayer by Bev. H. C. Cronin, after
which Bav. Mr. Plested introduead Bev. J. C. K.
l^Uigan. the Pastor of the Church. Mr. MnUgan
■poke vavy earnestly, and was rather severe upon
aoma parsons who stand, as ha thinks, in the
iray of the enforeement of t)ie liquor laws.
" Judge Smith and the devil," he said, bad opened
the way to free ale and beer. The liquor men would
not stop at that. They would not rest until all liquor'
was |ui frae as ale and beer tmder Jadge
Smith's four-word dedsiou. The liquor men
owned tha Judges and most of the Bar.
He said that his f nend ' Dr. Crosby was not a total
abstinence man. He used fermented wine at his
communion table, and believed that there could be no
communion without it ; and neither did he think
wine out of place on the dinner table. The speaker
did not thiuk that Dr. Crosby would visit a comer
liqnor store, but he would probably patronize a
grocer who sold liquor.
The speakers all advocated agitation. " I believe, "
said Rev. Mr. Gronin, *' that we should not rest un-
til there is not a spot of grotmd in the country big
enouich to make rum upon." Notonly, he thoughts,
should the day laborer be deprived of his ^in, but the
merchant should also be deprived of ms gloss of
wine. Mon were not made drunkards In bucket!
shopst Thousands of youne men were going down to j
hell through the use of liquor who did not know |
what a bucket shop was. Men who would bo;
ashamed to drink a schooner of lager for five
cents wocdd order beer by the doien at the
groeer'a and take it home and drink it.
why. the speaker asked, during the recent disturb-
ances In the citlas. did the Mayors order the liquor
•hops closed ! WTiy. he wanted to know, did they
not close tha barber shops i Why were the liquor
shops closed from sunrise to sunset on election day ?
Because, he argued, even the cormpt Judges and
politicians recognized the danger of mm. The so-
ciety proposed, he said, to close all the liquor shops ;
to say to the owners, " You shall sell no more." But
tha liquor-dealers could put down $10,000,000 to
fight the sodetv. They would fight the society to
the bitter end. The law officers would side with the
liquor-dealers, because behind each stood five or sir
men saying, " You will lose your place, if you don't."
These liquor-dealers are ali law-breakers. He did
not suppose that there was an honest Hquor-dealer
in this City. Our law-makers and our law adminis-
trators were in leaque with these men.
Bev. Mr. Plested said that the society was In need
of money, and earnestly requested the hearers to join
the society, and aid it with at least their initiation
fee of $1, if they cf)u1d afford nothing more. Blanks
were then distributed among the audience, which
were filled out, in lome rase^. with the name of the
giver and the amount which he gave.
Bev. John P. Betker, the Chaplain at the Tombs,
wished to have the fact clearly understood that this
was not a temperance meeting to promote total ab-
stinence, but that it was a meeting of a society
formed to prevent crime by iusisting upon the en-
forcement of gomi laws, already in ex-
istence, which Jiad been hitherto disregarded.
Rev. Mr. Plested said, in closing the moctlni^. that
the Hqnor-dealers who had been pluming themselves
on the thought that they could take dowu their three
beds aud sell what t-iey pleased, siuce the sle and
beer decision of J Atice Smith, would find that they
were mistaken.* The «»ciety would promptly cause
the arrest of every liquor-dealer whom they caught
selling any other liquor than ale or beer. After the
singing of the Doxology the meeting was adjourned.
TWO FVRIOrS BATTLXKQ FIELDS.
Jackson Field and his wife, Ellen, were ar-
raigned before Justice Flammer, in the Fifty-seventh-
Street Police Court, yesterday, the complainant against
them being Officer Brennan. of the Eighteenth Pre-
dnet. Both prisoners gave evidence of having been
participants in a severe struggle, and the officer's face
was also disfigured by scratches. On Sunday after-
noon Officer Brennan, hearing cries for assistance
proceeding fn^ the apartments of the prisoners in
No. 405 East Seventeenth -street, entered the house.
The door of a room in which a conflict was poing on
was locked, and he was compelled to break it open.
He then fouad Field standing over his wife, who was
Insensible, and . he was about to strike her with a
chair. ITie officer wrested the ohUr away from him.
and then atteihpted to arrest him. A violent ivtniggle
took place, in the course of which Mrs. Field re-
vived, and went to her husband's assistance. She
enabled Field to break away from Brennan and to go
to a closet, where he procured a carving-knife, with
which he attempted to stab the officer. The latter
escaped the weapon and drew his revolver, with
which he cowed both his assailants, whom he took to
the station-houfie. In the court' OtBcer Brennan

with assault and batter>'. Justice Flammer commit-
ted both prisoners for trial.
THE CBABTER OAK LIFE.
Speaking of the management of the Charter
Oak Life Insurance Company, the Hartford Cowant
of yeaterday says :
"It will be rememl>eTed that Mr. Charlton T.
I>wi8, Secretary nf the CThsmber of Life Insurance,
testified before -the Examining Committee of the
Albany Legislature last Winter that he played an
important part in bringing about the change of man-
agement In the Charter Oak Xiife Insurance Com-
pany, which l)ronght Messrs. Purber and Wiggin
nere, and said that he received $15,000 from
Mr. Wlggln. and $5,000 from Mr. White, Treasurer
of the company, for his services in the transa/*-
tlon. The In*%iTancf Tivxtn announces that Mr.
Lewis has restored the $5,000 he got of the com-
pany money, and has sent $7,500 to Mr. Wiggin,
that being what he himself received, as he states,
the balance having been paid by liim to another
partv, and the Tiine$ says : ' Mr. I«wi8, in remov-
ing tVls stigma from his name, will relieve the Cham-
ber of Life Insurance from a shameful reputation
which wonld otherwise have destroved Its- influence
and led to Us speedy diwsolntlon.' The fiunday ftlobr,
of this dtv, says It is understood that President
Jewell will institute prnsecntions against sundry
persons who received, either as stockholders or Di-
rectors of the Charter Oakfunlawful dividends or
perquisites nnder the Walkley management, and it
Intimates that evidence is in existence to make the
suits effective."
A FRECOCIOrS XEW-TORK TOVTH.
The Albany Argiis tells the following story :
" On tha 7th insL. a lad apparently about 13 years
of age. went to the Sans Souci Hotel, Ballston Spa,
and registered as Edward P. Oriscom, of New-York.
Ha stayed over night at the hotel, and next morning
told the manager. Mr. Earl, that he was gom^ to write
to his mother to come and join him. On Wednesday
he hired a horse and phaeton, and drove to Saratogi.
taking with him a young village lad, named Weed. lie
returned the rig to the livery, but did not come back
to the hotel at night, staying at Mr. Weed's. Mr.
Earl, beginning to suspect that something was wrong,
began to look for him, and on Thursdav morning
found him at the livery again hiring the phaeton to
drive to Bound Lake. Ife caused him to be taken
before Jtistice Hamilton, to whom the ■ lad acknowl.
edged that he had run away from New- York. He
said that he had registered his correct name, and that
his mother was Mrs. Anna Boyd, of No. 1-48 West
Twenty-eighth-street, and that his stepfather was
employed In Mayor Ely's office. He had stolen $48
from his mother's pocket and started for the country.
This amount he had expended, excepting abofit $ / ,
for a violin, confectionery, suit of clothes for'young

PROBABLE STARTERS— THE POOL-SELLCf 6.
Sabatooa, N- Y., Monday, Aug. 13, 1877.
The Vera Cruz fever, which has raged here
since that eolt won the sweepstakes for aU ajres, has
Bubrided since Parole so easily disposed of him in
the Summer Handle^ last Satnrdar. Tha sneeaas
of tha 'Waatem horns had eo elated tha Ocddental
division, that they eomplately "lost their heads,"
aud began talking wildly, and some of the weak-
minded ones went so far aa to say that they could
bring scrubs here and beat the Eastern cracks. It is
pleasant to note, however, that a more moderate
estimate has been placed upon the valne of the West •
am colts by their friends, and that the braggadocio
which became so offensive to gentleman who race
for the plaasure derived from the sport,
baa been less demonstrative. Tha frienda of
Bramble conld not conceal their disappointment
at his defeat on Saturday in the Kentucky Stakes,
and in their excitement flaunted $1,000 bills in the
face of Mr. Ehlers. the representative of Mr. Astor,
daring him to a match over the same distance of
ground. Mr. Ehlera declined, but signified his will-
ingness to enter Pride of the Village in a sweep-
stakes of $500 each for a dash of one mile. The
Bramble party, however, would not nm more than
three-quarters of a mile, and so the matter has been
compromised. A sweepstakes has been opened for
tiie 2-year olds, $350 each, play or pay, to close Aug.
15i the race to be. ran on the 27131 inst. Messrs.
Pierre and George Lorillard have signified their In-
tention to enter, and that there will be a fine race
there can be no doubt. There Is also con-
siderable discussion as to which gentleman
has the best 3-year old, and Mr. Morrissey
has opened a sweepstakes for 3-year olds,
$250 entrance, play or pay, one mile and five-
eighths, also to close on the 15th inst. and to be run
on the extra day, so that the future Is fraught with
Interest to all concerned in turf sports. The horse
Fair Play has been returned to the stable of James T.
Williams. It will be remembered that after he won
the selling race on Thursday laat he was purchased
by Gen. E. W. Price for $580 during the temporary
absence of Mr. Williams. 'When the latter returned
he said that the horse did not belons to him, but to
another party, who intended to run him through the
West this Fall On these representations Gen. Price
relinquished hia claim to the horse for the amotmt he
paid for hlra.
The programme for the morrow, the second day of
the meeting, is absorbing the attention of every one
to-night. Certainly a more interestins series of
events has hardly ever been promulgated, notwith-
standing the excellence of the preceding ones.
The initial affair will be a dash of three-quarters of
a mile, for maiden 2-year olds, for a purse of $300,
colts to carry 1 10 pounds, and fillies and geldings
107 pounds. There are nine youngsters engaged in
this, which includes Clabaugh's Jet. byVauihall;
Bice & Bethune's Duncan F. Kenner, by Oilroy ;
Withers' Lexincton-Invereanld filly ; Pioyears
Clifton. Sm>tbes Danlcheff, Reed's Eugene N.
Robinson, P. Lorillard's Hildegarde, by Lexington,
and McDaniel's filly by War Dance, out of Fly, and
filly by Enquirer. To follow this will be the struggle '
for the Kenner Stakes, and there Is no more im-
portant event In the racing calendar,. the winner of
It having a reputation firmly established for future
engagements. Like the Travers St^e, It takes a
really good colt to win it. Of the 63 nomina-
tions with which the stake closed, nine
are poRt**d as probalde starters, which will be
the largeKt field that has yet run for the prize, which
will l>e worth this year $4,800 to the winner, and
$300 to the stTond hon»e. Col. McDaniel will send
two to the uoat. viz.. Major Barker, the sensational
winner of the mile and a annrter on Saturday, and
St, James. Then August Uehnont will start Susque-
hanna, by Leamington, out of Susan Bean, by Lex-
ington, the winner of the Alabama Stakes. Since
that race she has been highly thought of for the
Kenner, . and the book-makers had so manv or-
ders th/t she soon became the second favorite.
Nest on the list Is Pierre Liorillard's b. g. BazlL, by
Melbourne. .Ir., out of Kellle Gray, by Lexington, a
verjifa^t colt. It is said that he cannot stay two
miles, but the wise ones are often deceived. The
next on the list is Barton & Medinger's b. c. Wash
Booth, by Asteroid, out of Vaudnlia, by Vandal, a
eolt that has always run gamely and is well thought
of by his owners, "who are not- afraid of the over-
shadowing reputations of his intended competitors.
Next comes Mr. Astors colt Baden Baden, by Au.s-
tralian. out of Lavender, by Wagner, the
winner of the Kentucky and Jersey Der-
bys and the Travers .Stake, and naturally
enough tlie prime favorite for this event.
Some of the enthusiastic aflmirers of the colt have
said that his opponentii will have to beat 3:3'J to win
the race ; that Baden Baden would run the first mile
in l:-47 and the second in 1:45 on a good track, and if
he does this It Is most likely to "cOf>k" tlie crowd.
It \» not likely, however, that the race will be run in
thismannnr: but the plans of the stable are kept se-
cret, aud they will not be known until his jockey re-
receives iustmctiouB at the mount. Auother stout
colt is K. A. Clabaugh's Cloverbrook, by Vauxhall,
out of Maudina, bv Imp. Australian, the winner of
the Preaknesa and Belmont Stakes, but who
has been ailing since he has been
here. He was conch Ins l>efore ho ran
In the Travers Stake, and' yesterday rooming he still
showed symptoms of a cold. Mr. Clabaugh, however,
has como to see the colt run. and ha.H faith that lie
will make a eood show in the race. Ei-<tov. Bowie'B
filly Oriole, by Kingfisher, Out of My Slaryland, by
Brown Dick, Is well thought of and backed, and
Thomas W. Doswell's b. g. Bushwhacker, by Imp.
Bonnie Scotland, ont of Anna Bu.sh. by LiextDgton. is
not without friends. Tims, taking it nil in alL
the Kenner Stake has not had a murJi better
field of starters. Another great r.ice will
be the dash of a mile and a half for all ages, to carrj-
100 pounds, for which there are to be four com-
petitors, including Tom Ochiltree. Parole. Virglnlus.
and Glangow. The first three are well known to pos-
sess a wonderful turn of speed, and Glasgow Is the
dark one who has not yet started here, but his
chanccH are thoufjht to be very slim in such coni^ny.
The concluding event will be a selling race of a mile
and an eighth for all ages, with the usual allow-
ances, and the following seven have been entered,
viz.: Brunette, to be sold for $300, 99 pounds:
Maritime. $300, 101 pounds; Dan K.. $1,000. 90
rounds; Partnen«hip, $7.S0, 112 pounds; Orlola,
1,000, 9S pounds .- C^ardinal Wolsey. $1,000. 90
Eounds, and Lady Salyers, $1,000. 8** ponnds. Such
\ the days sport mapped out for b»-morrow, and it
needs no further remark to reconmiend it to the at-
tention of sportsmen. The pools sold to-day at the
tmck on the several events were at the following

(pOSCPL ICENTAET RESOLUTIONS BY THE ASSO-
ci ltion of the sixtiknth district TO
SE^fATOB CONKLnrO— WHAT THE '* MA-
; CBINE" HAS ACCOMPLISHED POR THE
DI JTRICT.
The ] Qonthly meeting of the Sixteenth DIb-
triet Be mbllcan Association, held last evening at the
head-qu uters, No. 230 Third-avenue, vras well at-
tended. In the absence of Col. Frank E. Howe, the
Preside: it, Mr. Richard M. Lush was called to the
Ohalr. 3 Toposltions of 60 candidates for membership
Were re^ elved and referred to the Committee of Ad-
ndssion , and 40 persons were admitted to member-
■hipv It. lUchael Cregan made a brief addrees,
eologist c of Senator Roscoe Conkling, in which he
describe d the recent reception of that gentleman on
ijis xetu -n from Europe, and at its conclusion three
cheers 'v -ere given for the Senator. Mr. Cregan then
offered he f oUowiag resolution, which was unani-
mously idopted:
Araolw i. That we tender out congratulattona to Hon,
Boflcoe < ^nkliufi;, the able, upright, and faithful Senator
of Kew-iTork, upon hU return from hi* brief foreign
t^oyace V ith iitrenf^ renewed and vigor recruitod, and
wo Meo conaratolate the RepnbUcanii of our State and
throughout the Union, that the great cause of which he haa
so long l^n the fearless champion and the gifted leader
will continae to receive his active and efficient support.
I It wa I understood when the meeting assembled
that, sereu members of the assoclatloti, holding
offices ii it, who are office-holders under tho National
(Jovemi lent, would resign in obedience to President
Haves' dvil service order. Owing, as it was ex-
plained, to the absence of the Secretary of the asso-
ciation, who had the resignations in hia.
possession, the reading! of them and eon-*
sequent action in regard to them had
to be po itponed to another meeting. A committee of
three wi >« appointed to make an investigation into
the cone net of about a dozen members, who. it is al-
leged, lave affiiliated, with the so-called "Anti-
Custom- liouse Republican Party," or "New Republi-
can Orgi mization. The meeting then adjourned.
There are about 500 members on the roll of this
association, and of that number about 12 hold office
tmder tire National Government. The total vote of
the distifict is about 6,800, the Republicans polling
from 2,100 to 2,500 votes. About six years ago the
Republlian vote was 1.050 to 1.250, and by the
hard work of the district "machine," it has been
nearly d >ubled.

sa;rt
'Thinking that the views of Hon. Samuel J. Ran-
ds Ion the current events of the day — the Pacific
K(iilr6ad ind tho Speakership — would be of interest
to the -Vc cs, I paid the honorable centleman a visit
yeiiterda} at Ifaverford, a delightful retreat some
elijht niili a from tho city, where he and hut family
spending the heated term. After lo.iving the
'--' c epot, a half hour's walk through a narrow,
laie brought me in sight of an old-fashioned,
, iniug Iwo-atory stone house, standing back in
th^ woota without a fence to keep strav cattle
from |the door. To the right of the house, in
hammocli Kwung between two trees, lay M:

three children, two daught<'rs and one son. Mr.
HHJndkllracii^fnJring me at ft distance roiled himself

trjl^. j'l vould like to visit Galveston.' said Mr. Ran
dnil. I ' It appears to me that Galveston should be ono
of I the mam seaports of this country. That
Mexican trade sliould never be allowed to
go tjo Prance and Kngtand. If the inlet
to Gjilve ston is not deop enough or wide
enough it is the Government's concern, and the Gov-
en jn^nt i hould attend to it. The- entire South needs
the aid ol a helping hand to start her on the road to
pn^spl&rltv. Tlie 30.000.000 acres of land now cov-
ert by tiie waste waters from the Mississinpi should
be reclained. There _ are improvements that aro
wanted — r^s^ greatly needed In the South.' I said:
'Mr. Randall, your views on the Texas ami Pacifio
Rajilroad ire not yet Kenerally known throushonr the

by th»t re ad shonM agree amonc themselves as to the
route it siould take. Several Southern members of
Congress are opposed to the Texas and Pacific
bill jas it now stands. I know Mr. Mills, of
Texas, iras in opposition to tlio bill last
Winter. Bnt when the .Southern members all
aurcu I ai to the Reographlcal line the road

it is gipne; -ally conceded that some such route to the
Pacific is w.inted.' 1 tUluded to the recent 8trikf.s

said Mr. Itandall. 'Is the fruit nf the hard timen and
th^ long ( epresslon of huslness that tho coimtrj' has
experiencsQ since 187^1. The cause is easily arrived
at.]but a ;iroper remedy is not so readily found. If-
It lies wit lin tho power of Congress to fdleviaie this
snffering, there should be no delay in acting. No
country cm long withstand Ruob'lntemal eruptions.
Iflntemal improvements vrill help us. then let us

I>SSCEyDA^TS OF KIDNAPPED CHILDREN-
The B )6ton Jounud says : '* Duiing'a recent
visit to M mtreal, Dr. Samuel A Green, of this city,
paid a visit to tho convent, and there made some in-
teresting ' liscoveries regarding the history of several
children vho were taken by the In^ans from the
Town of Groton in this State. It is a matter of his-
torical re( ord that the Abenaquls tribe made frequent
incursions and carried away children, and their sub-
sequent history has been but imperfectly known,
Sara Tarbcll and her two brothers were taken by the
In<3lansft|om Groton, but the date of their capture
wa \ unknbwn. By inspecting the register of baptism
at 1 he convent, Dr. Green ascertained that they were
taken June 20. 1707. The two brothers remained
with the Indians and married the daughters of chit>fR.
Thoy were the founoers of the town of St. Regis, in
Canada, and, during his recent visit, the doctor con-
vex 5ed with the grandson of one of the stolen boys.
An >ther girl by the name of Longley was captured
' in 1694, and was baptized at the convent in 1696.
The names of these lost New- Engl anders will be re-
cognized at once as ones familiar to the residents of
Middloaex County. We trust Dr. Green will perpet-
uate the result of his interestinc researches by a full
acc6unt of what is known of these lost children.
There are, no doubt, traces to be obtained of chil-
dren who were taken from other towns by the Abe-
oaqnis Tinh^."
A BIG STORM.
The Virginia (Kov.) Enterprise tells a big
story of a bad storm thus: "Mr. Toffiemier, a
sheep man who has large flocks in Eastern Kevada,
was m this city recently, and gave an account of a
sand atom i in San Bemardina County, Cal., which
buried a fiack of sheep. 6 000 in number, and their
three hen] ers, who were Frenchmen, 20 feet deep. He
himself d; ove his flock oyer the sand which covered
tho >e that had preceded him and had perished.''

THE PRIEND8 OP THE ONE DOING THE
SHOOTZ2rO>
Prom the Evemnme (Ind.) Journal, Aug. 11.
The following Associated Press telegram,
which arrived early yesterday afternoon, contafais
matter of int|f*re«t to ETansville people :
"GAiiVZSTOH, Aog. 10. — ^A N9%D$ Austin special
says United States Marshal Pomell was shot twice,
and probabl7 fatally woimded, by Frank L. Britton.
The aceotmts of the affair are contradictory. It Is
known that the two gentlemen belonged to opposing
factions of the Republican Party, and have had some
diflferences as to the distribution of Federal patron-
age in this city."
Hon. Frank L. Britton, who was fortunate enough
to come out unscathed in the affray, is a brother of
Thomas P. Britton, Esq., of this cltv, Mid formerly
resided here. He was in EvsiuiTille several weeks
since with his wife, en route to Austin, after a visit
to Waahington City upon an errand which Is tho
moving cause of the affray. Mr. Britton moved to
Texas about 10 years ago, and began the practice of
law in that State. He was an ardent Rcpnblic^in
and soon attained prominence In State politics.
Upon the "reconstruction" of Texas, E. J. Davis was
made Federal Governor, and Mr. Britton was ap-
pointed Adjutant General of State. Under Grant s
first Administration Pumell was appointed United
States Marshall for that district. The appolntoient
was not satisfactory to the representative Repub-
licans of the State, and a very st rong effort
was made to have him removed. For this purpose
Mr. Britton made several trips to Washington.
stating his reasons to the President. AU efforts
failed, however, as Pumell's wife was an adopted
daughter of Bishop Ames, who had a very strona in-
fluence with the Administration, whether exerted or
not, Grov. Davis was a bitter opponent of Pumell
and a warm ally of Mr. Britton. The attempt to re-
move Pumell ended in cansing a long and bitter feud
between Gov. Davis, Mr. Britton, and several other
prominent Republicans on the one side, and Pumell.
his two sons, and appointees on the other. The feud
has several times cropped'ont in attacks by the Pur-
nolls.
Notwithstanding the failure of several efforts to
remove the odious appointee, another attempt was
made a year ago. Gov. Davia and 3Ir. Britton vis-
ited Washington, having in their possession affidavits
of a Deputy Marshal under Pumell, to the effect that
vouchers against the Government, which bad passed
through tlie latter's hands, had been raised froth
small to very large amounts. These affidavits and
very damaging letters from prominent men In Texas
aeainst Pumell, were at the time published In the
Wfwhington papers. After the return of Gov, Davis
and Mr. Britton to Austin, as the former was passing
into the Court-house to try a ca.se, Ptimell'ssons met
him on the steps. One. raising his cane, struck Gov,
Davis over the head, but the assaulted man clinched
his adversary and a hard strugcle beKan. The other
brother drew his revolver wrth the intention of
shooting Davis, but did not use it for fear be would
strike his brother. Before the affray proved fatal
bystanders interfered.
Mr. Britton heard of this a few minutes later, and
was aware that the Pumells had planned to put him
out of the way. Accompanied by a friend, he went
to visit the Pumells to demand a settlement then and
there. The brothers, valiant to a ainele adversary,
concluded to be prudent before an eoual number, and
retreated into the Court-house while court was in
aeasion. Not only did they refuse to come out, but
made complaint In open court, and Mr. Britton and
his friend were ordered before court and put under
bonds to keep the peace for a year.
Matters were quiet until a few weeks since, when
Gov. Davis. Mr. Britton. and others visited Washing-
ton a^aln. with the purpose of accomplishiuB under
the Htfyes Administration what they cotila not do
uuder Gxnnt's. This visit occupied several weeks,
after which Mr. Britton came to Evansville to visit
his brother and sLster, while Gov. Davis went on to
Galveston, and has remained there up to last accounts.
Upon Mr. Britten's arrival at Austin the foud was
re.iumed with greater bitterness on'the part of the
Pnmells, who conspired to kill their enemy. It haa
cropped out in bitter attacks in the newspapers, and
very damaging letters were published by Mr. Britton
against the Marshal. What the Immediate cause of
the wBFray was is not known. Mr. TJiomas P. Brit-
ton. upon hearing of the Associated Press tel^rram.
imraediatcly telegraphed for particulars, and in-
quired in regard to hiz brother. The answer received
was as follows :

yesterday.
THE TRAMPS' COMFAXIOy.
DISCOVERT OP A CHILD IN MASSACHUSETTS
WHO HAS BEEN MISSING FROM CAMDEN
A YEAR.
From the Pliaadelj>hia Preti, Aug. 13.
Thomas Davis, a blacksmith, is an employe of
the Narrow-gauge Railroad Company, and has his
homo in Camden, on Atlantic-avenue, below Third-
street. This family coiisi-sts of himself, wife, and
several children, amonj; them two f^ls, who are aged
respectively 11 and 14 years. The youngest damih-
tor, Alice, made the acquaintance of a Henry Hatstit
and Flora Jones about the middle of February,
1876. This couple lived together in a little one-
story hovel on an unbuilt portion of South Sixth-
street, known as Tlie Cedars, or Styer's Woods. The
rfrl Alice once visited the couple, who attempted,
by the gift of a pair of ^Uppers, to de<*oy her from
her home at the time of her visit. Hatstit behaved
in an indecent manner with her. She immediately
made an outcrj-. and the rufflan. becoming frightened,
released her. The chlUL however, did not mention
this occurrence to her parent-^ until some time after.
Through Alice the counio acquired an intimacy witli
the Davis family. The eldest daughter. Josephine,
appeared to be greatly fascinated with thexn. and
was in the habit of visiting them at their linrae.
where they held out great inducements for ncr to
leave her home. On the 10th day of April, 1?*76,
Josephine mysteriously disappeared, but the man
aud his pretended wife remained until nearly two
months hail elapsed, when they too took a hasty de-
parture. After Miss Jouephine's disappearance an
unflnished letter written by her was found in tbe front
room, nnder the table. Itcommencod. "DearHenr>-. '
and then proceed to state that she had made all
arraneements. AVhat the arrangements were Is un-
known, bnt the note was evidently Intended fot
Hatstit. Mr. T>a\is %-i8ited Mayor Jones, who is now
dead, and, stating the fa'-ts of the case, requested the
arrest of Hatstit. This the Mayor refn.«!ed to do,
saying that the fn'ounds were not ample enouch.
Nothing was heard from the missing girl until the
first day of the present month, when a letter was
received by Sirs. Davis fn.m a Mrs. BUss, of Ware.
JIass., inquiring If she had lost a child by the name
of '■ Josie;" that If so, she was then an inmate of
her house, a fuirltive from tramp.<i. who claimed to bo
her parents. Another letter was received, and on
la.'it Friday Po.«tmaster Lee received the following,
which is self oxplauatory :
WABE, Mass., Aug. 4, 1S77.
Poxtniaster :
Dear Sir: I wish to ask a favor of you. I want
to know, for sure. If there is a family* on Atlantic-
avenue, lielow Third-street, by the name of Thomas
Da\'is. I have written to know, and there were two
letters came here. One was saying that Mrs. Davis
was dead, and the other was signed oy her. and as I
am very jealotis in regard to certain parties, I wish
to know the truth in regard to knowing whether she
is dead or not, as I have her oldest daughther with
me. She was decoyed away from her home oyer a
year ago by a man and woman. His name la
Henry Hatstit. and the woman is not bis wfe.
and they have kept her to beg for them. They
came here on the 17th of lost month, and were
tramping at the time. They were here two days,
and when they left on Friday, July 20. the girl ran
away from them, and we took the trouble to hunt her
up. "as she Is ' smart, and I have her with me : and I
don't intend they shall Ret her again, and I think the
last letter that was sent here is a decoy letter, to get
her t<i come on to see her mother, and then get her
again. Now I want you to give the letter inclosed in
this for Mrs. Davis to the letter carrier, and for him
to give it to none but Airs. Davis, and if she is dead
I want my letter sent back to rae, and we will take
care of the girl ; and hoping you wlU^rant my re-
quest, I remaui Yotirs truly, Mrs- C. P. BLISS.
Tho letter inclosed with this stated the same facts
as pTe\'ioiwly. besides elviugexplicit and minute di-
rections as to the route in order to reach Ware, and
telling her to use the precaution to wear a piece of
colored paper on her bosom, by which means Mrs.
Bliss would be satisfied of her identity and restore to
her her lon^-lost daughter. Mrs. Davis started for
Ware, taking the Saturday morning train, and upon
her arrival iinll telegraph the tmth to her husband.
A JJ7DGK8 SUIT FOR SALARY.
The New-Orleans Tinus of the 10th Inst.
says: "The suit which Judge Collens has brought
for his salary will, when tiltimately decided, settle a
question of much importance in this State. Jiulge
Collens was elected in 1872 Judge of the Seventh
District Court of this city. In January following the
Plnchbaek Legislature abolished that court, or, which
is the same thing, consolidated It with a new one,
^^'iI^ all its business and jurisdiction to the latter.
The object was to oust Judge Collens for political
reasons. In many other States the same thing hat
been attempted by Legislatures for the purpose of
getting rid of obnoxious .ludqes. Jurisdiction has
een taken away, the boundaries of the district
changed, new districts made to overlap the old, and
iho office abolished outri;;ht. But the courts Imve
uniformly held that the Legislature bad no power
to do indirectly what it could not do directly. It can-
not deprive a Jtidge of the emoluments of the term for
which no had been elected, though it may create new
districts and alter old ones. It cannot oust a Judge
except by impeachment, and all subteifuges to ac-
complish the same end are pronounced inoperative
and void. We have no reason to doubt that the
eotirt will hold that Judge Collens had a vested right
in tbe term for which he was elected, and U entitled
to the salarr allowed by law at the time of his elec-
tion. The fate of his petition In its present form,
however, it Is not so easy to predict. He asks for a
mandamus against ti&e Auditor to compel him to pay
tbe pact due saiarr* Aa there is bo K>eelfle annro>
jrlattoa for that purpose, and probabljiiot enough
monejr to pay the salaries appropriated for, itis not
•o easT* to see how the Auditor ean obey suehawrit,
bnt tlutt the daim will be pronounced valid aod ultl-
zoateljr paid there is little rtiom to doubt."
AN OLD MEN'S PARTY, .
EX-LIEUT. GOV. GEORGE SMITH^ OF MISSOURI,
XNTER^AIKS SKVEN OLD CITIUUI&
From the SL Joieph (Mo.) Herald, Avf. 11.
Bx-Llmxt. Gov. George Smith, who is enjoy-
ing a hi^py and contented old age at his splendid rea-
idence near Cameron, gave au entertainment to a
number of old citizens on Wednesday last. Theaf-
tmii is r^Kuted to have been a very h^ipy and enjoy-
able one. A bountifal repast was spread, and the old
people entert^ned one another with stories of their
frontier life. The old gentlemen present were: Ia-
msa Kellogg, who was 89 yeaxs of age on tbe 8th
inst. He was bom In Goshen, Litchfield County-
Conn., where he lived until he was 26 years o^ age,
after which he moved to Smlthfield, Penn., where he
resided 10 years, and he resided in seTeral other
States before he came to Cameron, which was about
four years ago. He was married at the age of 22,
seven children being bom into the family before the
death of his wife, whicJi occurred 24 years sinee ; he
has buried nix out of his seven children.
Samuel Flnley, bom in Washington County, Penn.,
and was 80 years old last July. He is a mUlwriabt,
and built the principal part of the mills that are In
the Miami Valley, Ohio, He moved from the place
of his birth, when three months old, tO Kentucky,
where he lived about five years, and thence to Ohio,
remaining there until abont 35 vears of age, moving
then to Indiana, where he lived i25 years, and then to
MiTineanta, where he remained until he came to Cam-
eron, about two months since. He was a member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church from boyhood up
40 years ago, when he withdrew, thinking It the '
because It was then that fashion began to take the
dominant part In his country. He has been a Mason
67 years, and has some vexy conscientious scruples
which he cUngs to. He has Uved a Christian man all
his life.
James Smalley. aged 74, was bom at Randolph,
Vt. He has resided in Connecticut. Rhode Island,
and other States. He emigrated to Caldwell County,
Mo., lnl8G7, In which county ho rrnlded until he
moved to Cameron, about three years sinoe. He
was married in 1826, was blessed with a family of
10 children, six of whom are llvim;.
John Jones was bomin Snottsylvania Cotmtr, Va.,
85 years ago last May. He was married In 1813,
and enjoyed his marriage vowi until about 13 years
ago, when, by death, they were separated. He
raised a family of 13 children, aod he was the happy
fatoer of six children at three births. He was a
turner by trade, having made many wagon-wheels,
but more especially connned himself to making spin-
ning wheels. He has been a resident of Clinton
County 2S years.
John Leroy has reached the ripe old age of 78;
years. He was bom In Duchess County, New- York,
and married In the same neighborhood at 20 years of
age. For many years he followed,^very successfully,
the milling business in different parts of New- York.
His age does not tell upon him as it does upon some,
but the " foot-prints of time " are very perceptible.
He la as ambitious as he was years aeo, and delishts
In enjoyment as well as anyone. He came to Mis-
souri several years ago, and is as hearty and robust
as you will generally see a man at 50.
John Stokes was ^-.om in Tennessee 70 vears ago,
April 12. He yet has a wife and 13 children, never
having one to die : also has 40 grandchildren, and
two great-grandchildren. He has been a resident of
Cameron 16 years, having put up the first three
houses in the place. Uncle John waa the youngest
man at this meetinr. but the bldest settler. He is
able to do considerable work yet, and enjovs good
health. Ho Is a blacksmith by trade, and followed it
55 vears, and made the first plows that tilled tbe soil
of Clinton County, and remembers when his nearest
neighbors were no closer than 1 5 or 20 miles.
Robert Handy, a native of Green County, Kv..
was bom 72 jrears ago last January. Most of his
life was spent in Kentucky at farming, with the ex-
ception of about seven months, and then he was
proepectinj: upon the frontier — ^Dlinols. He married
hiK«flrst wife at 18 years of age, moved to Missouri in
1871. and has since that time been engaged in busi-
ness in Cameron.
Gov. Smith himself is in his 68th year. He has
filled many positions of honor and public trust with
concientious fidelity, and commands the confidence
and respect of all who know him.
TB^ PEXySYLVAXIA COAL TRADE.
CONTINUED GOOD OUTLOOK — EXPORTS FOR
THE WEEK.
From the Philadelphia Ledger. Aug. 13.
The anthracite coal trade still wears a more
encouraging aspect than was hoped for a month ago.
The business is active and prices hold up well en-
couraging the belief that the market will continue to
the end of the season more in the control of pro-
ducers than it vras during all the forepart of the
year. The Reading Railroad Company and the Read-
ing Coal and Iron Comtmny are persistent in their
policy, adopted at the time tfie combination was
broken, and the proporition Of Mr. Gowen to pool
the coal product was declined by the other producing
and carrying companies, namely, to throw as much
coal from the Schuylkill region into tho market as
was practical from its unequalled facilities for the
movement of that creat staple. The temporary
obstmction of a wrtnlght ago in that region
has passed, and, with a good vmderstanding
between the companies and their emjiloyes. the out-
look it quite Fatisfactorj'. There will be no short
supply of coal, nor Is it probable that prices will fall
below a fair remuneration. Tonnage is the creal
purpose of the Reading Railroad Company, and is a
wonderful source of revenue. For the week ending
on Saturday night last, which is a week later than
our tabulated report of the trade, the business of
the road footed 155.000 tons, against 113,699 tons
cjirried in the corresponding week last yenr. Of
this- amount there' were sent to Port Richmond
t>'.,i.600 tons, and within tbe same week there
were shipped from Port Richmond 72,0O0
tons, a reduction of the stock there of 9,400
tons. There has been at no time during the
troubles of ■ tbe past three weeks more
than 5 of the 53 collieries operated by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company
not at work on account of tbe labor difficulties, and
within the past week these have ail Tleen started and
are now working full handed, the output by the Coal
and Iron Cnimpany for the week ending
on Satunlay lost reat'hlng 84.500 tons. The
collieries of the Individual operators in the
SchuylkiU region have generally resumed work.
though it is aueced that committees professing to
represent parties in some of the more northern coal
regions have been industriously endeavoring to create
a strike bv the SchuylkiH miners, nnd all the indica-
tions are favorable to a continuous large output for
the remainder of tlie yeir In that coal region. Busi-
ness has not so thoroughly resumed in the other coal
region. All the Lehigh and all the Mahanoy mines
having transportation over the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road are at full work, but none of those in the
Wyoming region are In operation. Tli« coal of the
company on iiand at Amboy on the 4th inst. vras
abont 96,750 tons^frather more than was last week
estimated.) and dunug the week following the re-
ceipts at that point were about 20.O0O tons, and the
shipments some 30.000 tons. It is thus seen-that
the stock of coal ot that point is steadily running
down.
For the weok ending on the 4tb Inst., the total
tonnage, as reported by the several carr>*ing com-
panies, amounted to 232.491 tons, against 380.04>*
tons in corresponding week last yeor, a decrease of
147,557 tons. The total amount of anthracite
mined for tho year Is 11,712.890 tons, against 9.-
378,038 for same period last year, an increase of
2.334.852 tons. The quantity of bituminous coal
sent to market for the week amounted to 39. .'>20
tons, against 80.869 tons in corresponding week last
year, a decrease of- 41.349 tons. The total tonnage
of ah kinds of coal for the week is 272.011 tons,
against 460,917 tons in corresponding week last
year, a decrease of l.SS,006 tons. The total tonnage
of all kinds of coal for the coal year is 13,520.613
tons, against 11.371.523 to same date last year, an
increase of 2.149.090 tons. Vessels are becoming
scarce, whilst orders are plenty at this port, and load-
ing at Port Richmond, Delaware City, and elsewhere
is active.
CAPT. NOLAX.
A communication to the St. Joseph (Mo.)
Herald contains th? following reminiscence of Capt.
Xolan. whose painful experiences with his men on
the Staked Plains were lately mentioned in our tele-
grams from San Antonio : "On Monday, Jtme 17.
1861, a trim and orderly squad of United States
Dragoons marched from Its quarters in this city,
near the Patee^ House, to the Post Office building,
on Second-street, opposite the Herald office. Mr.
Woolworth stepped to the door and handed the Ser-
geant in command a neat fiag, which one of the dra-
goons unfurled on the roof of the building, securely
fastening its staff where a foolish mob had a few
days Tirevlocs torn down 'a similar emblem. After
the soldier descended the little company of dragoons
formed in line and gave three rou-slng cheers
' for the old fiag, aud ^uith to the man who takes
It down.' Immediately a certain doctor of this city
mounted a dry-goods box on the sidewalk, and called
out, ' Three groans for the Abolitionists and thoirflag.'
He gave two lusty groans, but was instantly covered
with a Colt's navy revolver in the hands of the Ser-
geant, who yelled out, ' Give that other groan : it
will be yotir l(Urt>' The doctor jumped off the box
and ran into the store like a quarter-horse. That
Sergeant is the identical Nolan who is mentioned in
the dispatch. He was here 16 years ago last June as
a Sergeant m Captain Frank Armstrong's company of
'Grav-horse Cavalry.' Second Dragoons, now Second
Cavidry. Capt Amistrong and bis company fought
in the battle of Bull Run, after which he wentover to
the rebels. The Second Dragoons was a noted regi-
ment raised by Gen. ,Tackson. and numbering on Its
roster the names of Gen. E. V. Sumner, and scores of
others who became famous In our hi-story. The then
Sergt. Nolan is now a Captain of cavalry and attached,
I believe, to the Tenth.''

Monday Evening. Julv 23. >
Mr Deab Fathks : Invalided at last; here'l am, af-
ter a 16 years' service in the army without receiving
a scratch, laid up with a gun-shot wrmnd through the
left lung, reecived on the llth inst. at a place now
known aa " Camp Bancroft," on South Fork of the
Clearwater, about 2.5 miles from Mount Idaho. Idaho
Territory, in an engagement with Jowph and
his band of Indians. I was shot, about
S o'clock In the afternoon ; laid da the
field/ all that day and nii;ht and part of the
ncx^ day, when I was hauled in a wagon 25 miles
oWr 1he ronphest mountain trail to Grangerville.
flfhts was a verj- severe trip. The wagon had no
sprincs, and I was nearly dead when we nvu-hed Gran-
gerriHe. Two wounded mi'n die<i in the wagon on thia
trip ; two of my l>e8t men, Sergt- Workman and
Corporal Martmarandt, were killed by my side.
M"hile I was being carried to the rear by one of my
men, Patrick by name, he had one ear shot clean ^
awav, and I did not know it till aAer he had laid \
me down. Corporal Hess was badly wounded, his \
left arm being broken. My company suffered a good
deal in tlils fight : the Indians fought hke devilc^ and
were brave as lions. The Indian who, shot me vraa
not lOO vardsaway at tbe time; I think he was
killed. It is now 12 days since 1 wasfwounded, and
the doctor thinks I am out of dam:er.{ I shall leave
this place for Fort Townsend on Thursday next. I
left Wrangel fon the 15th of June, and arrived al
Townsend on the 18th. Received orders same day, ^
and left on the 19th for this Indian country, and, for
a short campaign, have had more agony crowded inta

BREAKING OF A BED BTTER DAIC
The New-Orieans Picayune^ of the 10th bist,
says: "Abont the first of the present month Intel-
ligence was received in this city of the breaking of
the dam in the upper branch of the Scopini eot-off,
which connects Red Blver. some dirtanee below
Khreveport, with Tone's Bavou, a tributarj- of Bayou
Pierre. The dam was constructed alxjnt a year ago
by the fnited StatfS Government out of the Harbor
and River appropriation, and cost SIO. 000. There
is a dam in the other bram-h of the cut-off built by
the State. The object of damming up this outlet la
to confine the waters of Red River to the proper
channel and prevent the decrease in depth wmeh
would otherwise result. On Aug. 1, Mr. Joseph
Aiken, President of the Kew-Orlewis and B«d
River Transportation Company, received a
dispatch to the effect that fae side of
Bank Island had washed away for , a distance of 20
feet. Yesterday he receiv^i a telepram which stated
that the dam was nearly gone, careful soundings bav-
ing been made. He communicated tbe fact to the
Governor, and yesterday a consultatibn waa held
with the State Board of Enffineers. Mr. Aiken.
showed the importance of repairins the dam as soon
as possible. He had made arrangements to bring to
Xew-Orleans at least two-thirds of the Texas cotton,
or an averaee in the Fall of 60.000 bales per mouth,
If the navigation of Red River were interrupted, be
thought that this trade would f^o to t>t. IjouIs and
other places. It seems that if the Outlet is left
open the water of Red River will fall rerr rapid-
ly, and the stream become too shallow for navi-
gation. The Governor inquired what was n&.
cessary to be dune. Hsd what roold be done ? The
engineers tlioncht that'the dam could be repaired for
less than $10.0oO. The Ciovernnr said to Mr. Aiken
that if he would prepare a dispatch to the Secretary
of War. settine ft>rtli the facts and necessity for the
general Government to cause the dnm to be repaired,
he would approve the telegram and forward it to
Washington. The .Secretory of War has already
l>een adN-ised of the affair by citizens of ShreToport.
On the suggestion of Major Harrod, the Executiv*
directed that he. tojretbcr witn Major Richardson,
should proci*ed .at the first ojiportunity to the point
of danger and report what in their judsrments shoidd
be dime. Col. Hardee, this momims. sets Kail in the

A PAINFUL OPERATION. .
The Boston Globe of Monday says : " A very
remarkable medical ease has come to our knowledge,
and we have seen no account of it thus far In the
journals of the profession. A lady livinc in AJiston
vras troubled with some affection of the throat. Th«
doctors pronounced it. bronchial, and recommended a
trip to the South. She obtained no relief from the
climate, and on her way hack consulted an eminent
pu}'sician in Baltimore, who said that a tumor had
formed inside tho windpij^e. On reaching home sha
communicated this opinion to her physician here,
and after consultation the doctort* decidVd such to be
the fact. The lady placed herself in the charge of
some of thebest medical talent in tbSs city for the
treatment of her case, which was becommg very
serious. It was with great difficulty that she
could swallow anything, and her breaJLhing was be-
coming more and more obstructed. It was diMsided
that the tumor must be removed, though sncli an op-
.eration as taking a tumor from the insido of a wmd-
pipe was unknown, and an instrument' must be in-
vented for the purpose. A tube wasjput into the
■windpii>e below the diseased spot, anil the throat
subjected to a course of * education ' for the opera-
tion. An instrument was devised bavim: ot the end
a combination of claws, which could be: worked from
the other end, so as to rlose firmly over tho tumor,
and an arranecmcnt was made for jtast^Tia; a current
of electricity through tho instrument. In due time
the operation was successfully performed by gwitly
j.rcssmg the Instrument down into the windpipe.
firmly (tni.<T>inic the tumor in the claws, and burning
it out by tbe electric current. It was drawn out, ana
the lady, who underwent the ordeal without the use
of any anspsthetic, was doing well at last accounts.*
THE GEORGIA TREASURER'S DILEMMA.
The Atalanta (Ga.) r<?n*fifitfM« of the llth
inst. says : " A very intricate question has been raised
at tbe State Treasury in respect to the payment of
the expenses of the convention. In the act provide
ing for the calling of the convention, the Le^la-
ture restricted the cost of the convention to S>25,000,
and appropriated that sum with which to meet its ex-
pcnses. That sum has already been more than ex-
hatisted. and the Treasurer, in the exercise of that
caution due the* State and his bondsmen, has decided
not to over-pay th** amount appropriated unto be is
bai^ked by competent legal and official authority.
Tlie point that caused him to hesitate is this; Snt>-
pose he pays out $25.00*> more than was Buthorixed
by the Legislature, and the Con-stitutinn is re-
jected by tho people. In that event the only
Constitution under which he can justify
his action vrill be tbe present one- That in-
strument distlnctl}' says that he shall pay no money
except such as has ^reen appropriated by the lower
Housp of Representatives. Where, then, will he
find authority for tho payment of the extra SS.'j.OOO f
It is held bv some lawyers that the convention is sov-
ereign in all things : that It can not only draw what
money it needs, but can abolish the treasur.- if it de-
sires, and even refuse to submit the Constitution to
the people for ratification. The Treasurer himself is
of opinion that be would bp justified, in paying tho
money ; but with a caution that is comm<.M]dabi«, be
has thought it best to be fortifipil by abundant legal
advice. He has consequently referred the matter to
the Governor, and asked through him for tbe ofBleial
opinion of the Attorney-General."
THE BOSTOX WOMA X IX THE STREET-CAB.
The Boston Saturday Evening Gazette says:
"The open hors^-cars are a great comfort during the»e
warm davF, and they are nearly always fulL Not the
least of their advantages is that there is no room for
people to stand up in them, and thns render misera-
ble the experiences of those who are seated, by crowd-
ing upon their toes. The familiar cry of the conduc-
tor, ' Move up in front there.' is not heard, and wrt
umbrellas are not brought into contact with one's
knees or bands, as the case mav be. when It chances
to bersinlnc. And then, those three ^ck seats which

~ As I had anticipated, the Bussian losses
kava been very- heavy. What they -were pre-
flooaly the world wOl never know, aa most of
he dead were buried where they fell, before any
niaiders were permitted to yisit the scene of
leiaon. The oflcial "butcher's biU" gives be-
ween 1,200 and 1,300 as a grand total, inelud-
ng three Colonels and 62 officers ef other
imk. Bat this enormous proportion of ofOcers,
he numbers ofVounded whom we can see, the
Jset that the Tnrlcs, who, fightlnx from cover,
niut have suffered far less than &eir aasailsats,
md yet acknowled^re 2,000 casualties, and the
general circumstances of the battle, warrant the
juppoaition that the published estimate is very
Sh below the marie An act of splendid daring
Inally decided the affair. Two forlorn hopes
kad been repulsed ; the third column wavered
^ld was in a critical situation, when a battery
if horse artillery — I wish that I could
(rre the same of the gallant fellow who
lommanded it — dashed forward, scrambled
Icross the ditch and over the breach, and, taking
ip a position in rear of a redan filled with
Furks, who were flanking the approaches to the
lentral bastion, on which tba main attack was
brected, opened fire through the open gorge of
ihe work. All of the horses and three-fourths
it the gunners were shot down, but the ma-
tOBuvre was successful ; the garrison was
leized with a panic at. the appearance of an
memy in their rear, and retired in disorder
vtthin the tftctinU. After this the place wi
longer tenable, and although a desulto^ can-
tonadewas kept up on both sidps^or some
kours longer the reaistance wu/Wtaally at an

transported to the hospitfds on the left bank —
those who can stand the journey into Bussia, in
irder to reUeve the establishmentsinBoumania,
snd to spare the poor fellows the additional suf-
Tering caused by the terrible heat.
Between Tumu-Maenrelll and Alexandria I
passed several convoys of prisoners on their way
to the main depot at Kischeneff, whence they
(Pill be distributed in the interior in accordance
(rith the dispositions which I have narrated in a
previous letter. The columns were escorted by
% few companies of infantry and several
Botnias of Cossacks ; the men 'vere on foot, the
' field officers and some of the subalterns and
Captains in carts. Hassan Pasha and Achmet
Pasha, to whom every courtesy has been shown,
went on, immediately after tlieir surrender, in
firivate carriages- The prisoners have that sul-
en, glum look common to their race, but
whether tbey are reallv sorry for their fate is
doubtful. The Oriental generally takes things as
they come with remarkable philosophy, ascrib-
ing them all to Kismet aii^^the will of Allah,
which is a sufficient excuse for all failures, and
certainly, to judge from their gaunt, hungry
look and ragged uniforms, they could not have
left much to regret in their last quarters in the
way of creature comforts.
The occupation of Nikopolis is more impor-
tant even than it was first thought to be. It has
not only assured the Russian btise of operations,
but has procured all the strategical advantages in-
cident upon the occupatton of the Valley of the
Tehundja, from Kasianlik to Jamboii, and se-
cures the communicarions of Gezi. Gourkho's
column of 4.O0O cavalry, composed of the As-
trakan and Kagan Dragoons, some horse ar-
tiHtr\-, and a regiment of Cos!<acks, which
forced the Balkans at two points, and now
holds Jamboii. on the Adrianople road, in rear
of Shnmla. The Turkish tactics continue to
be ineomprehensible. They hold out -with the
utmost courage a wretched little fortress like
^tikopolis. incapable of a loni^ defense, and
from which rutreat is impossible when once
invested seriously, and yet they abandon really
ImportAUt positions without firing a shot when-
ever there is a door open in their rear. That
Ahmed Eyoub's troops should have evacuated
Biela as soon as his line of retreat was compro-
mised by the Kussian passage of the Jantra is
?<iite jostiflable. but the Kazan defile is nearly
8 Engish miles in length, and both this pass
and that of the *' Iron Gate " were admirably
fortified and garrisoned with regular infantry,
which retired as_ soon aa the raiders — they
were nothing else^-came in sight. There wm
a alight stand jnade by the Usmanli under
Eaouf Pasha at Yeui-Saghra, but as the Russian
losses are put down at only SO men it is scarce-.
Jy worth speaking about.
Against any other enemy the Russian tactics
seem very faidtv. Their -Army is spreading out
like the sticks of a fan. and if Al>dal Kerim
has either talent or initiative ho can crush
their columns in detail. X have reason to be-
lieve that at present their operations are along
four lines ; a corps of tK>.00O established alongv
the right bank of the* Jantra, between Obiienitz
and Batin ; 30,000 on the plateau of Carincha
in observation against Rustahuk ; 50,000 be-
tween Timova and Plevna; 35,000 at Sis-
tova. Twenty-five thousand of these cap-
tured Nikopolis on Monday, .and have de-
tached a force westward in the direction
of Widdin. Probably the second Rou-
manian Army Corps at Kalafat and Caracal,
under Prince Carol, will take part in this opera-
tion. Prom these figures must of course be de-
ducted the losses sustained in the various en-
gagements fought during the last week; which
may be put down at about 10 per
cent. Another corps is being humed
forward, through Roumania, to strengthen
their left wing, and aa, at last, the Turks have
evacuated all the Dobrudacha north of the Kus-
tendje-Tchemayoda line, Oen. Zimmerman can
advance against Silistria, which he is to invest,
and bring up the total strength of the army of
operation tu some 200,000 combattanta of all
arms. Still, not half, of that number can be
concentrated within 24 hours' time at any one
point, and a few days will show whether the
Serdal ek Ekmm has the intention of bringing
on a general engagement near Shumla, where
all the advantages of position and numbers will
be in his favor. Perhaps X ought to say if he
knows how to bring on that eniragement, as the
gibbering idiot ia probably engaged in some
algebraical calculation, or is awaiting the orders
of the 3Ied jliss, based upon the scientific reason-
ings of that council of old women and the
lomiuous advice of a conclave of court astrolo-
gers. One thing only is certain ; if the onward
march of the invaders be not arrested within a
week, in spite of their bad atrategy, their
columns wHl be in Adrianople before Stdeiman
Pasha's 40 battalions ordered up from
. Montenegro can come to its relief. Wo are
told that Rustehuk is completely invested;
this X do not think the caae. although the com-
*munication3 may be cut off on thi«e sides, for
It Is scarcely credible that the Czarowitch, who
commands here in person, with all his inexpe-
rience would sanction a movement so utterly
at variance with the elementary principles of
the art of war. He has only 75,0(H) men. The
centre is at Cosova ; the left at Pyrgoa, on the
l>anube ; the right at Nisova, exposed to a flank
attack, aa "tt lies nearly at right angles to the
Turkish forces in the quadrilateral, where, with
both the wings and the centre resting on the
fortresses of Shumla and Rustehuk, and the
strong natural position of Osman-Baaar, it num-
bers conaideianly over 100,000. However,
rashness has succeeded so far, and it may do ao
again, for the Turks, like the French in their
last war, never seem to perceive or toproflt by
the blunders of their adversaries. The bom-
bardment of Rustehuk will commence in a
day or two ; the regular oiege of the fortress
about the 1st of August, if it has not fallen
before that time.
1 have iust arrived at Qinrgevo, after a 14
hotrrs' drive over roads laiee deep in dust, and
with the thermometer marking 36° centigrade,
a little over 96^ Fahrenheit, in the shade. It
is too late to expect to see anything, particu-
larly ^aa the Russian patrols are decidedly harsh
toward unauthorized nocturnal prowlers ; so my
chief, and indeed only, preoccupation has been
the diacovery of a lodging for the night. My
last visit here was only for a few hours, and I
had not then experienced the same necessity, so
that 1 must leave my readers to imagine the
sickening sensation of a hungry stranger on
the lookout for a place wherein to repose his
wearied hones, in a town occupied by foreign
troops, whence one-half of the population has
fled — some, I am told, never stopped until
they reached the Carpathians, and the moat in-
trepid not short of Bucharest. I was here a
year ago, and had breakfasted most execrably
at a Hotel de Paris, on the Grand Square, a dis-
mal circular place, with a tall tower in the
Mntze, and some shops and taiia running
■nnisd the lidea. But there was no
isatttutton aa the Botel de Pnia

thoaght of the Isto bombardment, but
there were co ruins, and even an earthquake
would have left a racant space ; the old shanties
were there in the same number, and yet the ho-
tel was missing — it bad vanished into thin air,
or it had been absorbed and something else
had taken its place. Now, my Roumanian is
not fluent and the natives are not Intelligent,
and so I wandered helplessly about, with a mer-
cenary carrying my traps in rear, until, at last,
a friendly female tobacconist relieved my mind
by the iziformation that the establishment still
existed, and that even its landlord was the
same, but that, in compliment to the Russians
its designation had been changed, and that, If
I wanted to go there, I must ask for the Hot«l
de St. Petersburg. Surelv this homage to Mus-
covy must have its reward, for Boniface has
shown his knowledge of the weaknesses of the
human heart by flattering national vanity ; but
Boniface is a time-server, for he will blot out
Petersburg and substitute Vienna on his sign
should the Austrians get here^ of which there
seems to be not^a4ittle probability.
Apropos of thisjl am assurred on unquestion-
able authority jbilBt the situation Is becoming
more delicate ^very day — the French would say
plus tmdue — ^with the Austro-Himgarian Em-
pire, and that the fear of a rupture on that side,
and of very possible complications with Eng-
land, are so working on the already pacifically-
disposed minds of the Emperor and Prince
Gortschakoff , that to make a peace as soon as pos-
sible is their one persistent preoccupation ; and
even Qen. Ignatieff has been heard to declare,
within the Dist week, that he expected to be
back again as Ambassador at Constantinople
before the xoiddle of October. Russian diplo-
matists at JLrondon, Berlin, and Vienna are,>l
know, feeling the official pulse on the situatiom,
and trying to discover the dispositions of the re-
spective (^binets as to the conditions to be pr6-
posed ; these, which have been nromised me
from an official source, are said to oe very mod-
erate, and I will give them so soon aa I return to
the capital. There really does se^n s^
chance of a general lying down legSQier
of lions and lambs, providi|jg''uiat all
the powers agree ^^^ ^v^oint action
without any ar7-t^rfl^--''ptfn*^e — a difficult
hypothesis wlien ojie-'feflects that the negotia-
tions will ' be,j9«i£nded to diplomatists whose
chief end^a-Bfe seems to be to try how they can
be digl©<^ to each other— and that Turkey will
.^ y>t tae proffered terms. Eveiything now is,
,)osslble, and the more illogical the solntton to
any poUtical question, the greater Is its proba-
bility. No human being can venture to predict
what will happen, but the best informed and
cleverest statesmen in Roumania — andwhatever
be their other shortcomings they are clever — .
are convinced that, before the middle of Sep-
tember, peace will be signed, or all Europe will
be in arms.
But, to return to my own adventures : Into
the hotel I entered, and, surely enough, there I
found the' same personnel of a fat landlord and
dirty waiters, but there was .a change; last
year everybody spoke, or tried to speak, French ;
now their efforts seem to be in the direction of
oblivion. I am rather glad that I do not know
Russian, so that X was unable, even for my own
convenience, to pander to their degraded taate,
and, as the host nearly choked to death while
trying to gargle himself with a word of 17
consonants, which he did not understand after
he had spluttered it out, he was obliged to come
back to the language of Gaul. Yes, there was
a room, at the top of the house, entirely at my
disposal for 10 fimncs the night, and It was
light and airy, but had not found an occupant
since the last bombardment, vrhen a shell had
passed through the roof and had torn away in
its passage a small portion — a very small por-
tion he said, with national mendacity — of the
wall, although, on inspection. I found that the
hole was about six feet In diameter. It was
evidently a very mild bomb, a civilized bomb,
for although its entrance had been accompanied
with a good deal of noise and it had made the
af oresiud hole in the wall, and had smashed all the
windows— the fragments had not yet been swept
away — and had torn up a nortion of the floor-
ing, it was reposing quietly in the inside corri-
dor, where it will be kept, with much pride as
a souvenir and will bo handed down to fuh»re.

character — lazy, nonchalant, and apathetic. It

a 1^ of masonry, but it was too indolent to

felt reassured by the old superstition that two
projectiles never hit the same spot, and the

TACTICS OF TUB SUSaiAy GEy£BALS.
A military writer in the PoiUisf-hc Corre-
spondem, eommenting on the failure of the Boasian
campaign in Armenia, says that all the principal Rus-
sian commanders there, snch as Loris HelikotT,
HelmanzL, Dewel, Oklobschlo, Tchavtchavadse,
Scheremetieif, Tergokassoff, hare gained their Gen-
eijds' epaulettes in the Caucasus, and are compara-
tively young in the service. They are daring soldiers,
but bare Beldom had the opportnnlty of handlisg
large masses of troops. The present campaign la
the first in which they have had large divisions onder
their command, and they endeavored to conduct the
war on the same Rvstem as that which had proved
BO successful In the Caucasos 20 years agO. The
leading principles of this system are to surprise and
beat the enemy, to push forward, evade strong posi-
tions, and demoralize the enemy by the quickness of
your movements. This explains the attempt to
march upon Eraeroum without first takise Kars.
Three Ruaaian divisions were employed on this ser-
vice, the weakest, of which, that of Erivan, in at-
tempting to ontserio the ot^« column*, ventured
farthest, and thereby compell^T Geo. Melikoff, not-
withstanding the known numerical superiority of
his enemy, to advance against him by forced marches
In order to cut his army in two. and thfere-
by rfi«<^e Gen. Tei^kasaoff from a posi-
tion which might easily have become fatal.
How critical the state of affairs most have
been Is shown by the fact that Gen. Uelikoff paid a
Kurd 2, OIH) roubles for taking a message to Gen.
Tergukas-soff and bringing l»rk his reply. The
forces of the latter were so small in number that he
could only leave six companies uf infantry and three
sotulas of ravalrj- in Bayazld to cover his rear, and
that after effecting his retreat to Igdyr he had only
eight battalions and 15 sotnias. or some 7,OU0 men
in all. TTie most critical moment Was after the
battle of Dajar, and Tergukassoff on this occasion
showed a daring and resource whicli are characteris-
tic of the Ru.ssian officers of the Caucasus. Instead
of going straight to Bayazld, as his enemy expected,
ha took a side road to the norih to Igdyr, thence
marched to Bayazld, and by this manoeuvre suc-
ceeded, though with very inferior forces, in relieving
the Russian garrison.
HAiznoAD onossiyas at q^ade, .
The Cleveland Leader briefly suinmarises the
opinion of Judge Albert Teomaus, of Trumbtill
Coonty, Ohio, delivered in a qase in which a railroad
In process of construction seeks to "appropriate "
the right to cross and a'^ght of way acrossf the
track of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad at
grade, and at a point on the Atlantic and dreat
■Western Road where the united grade and curva-
ture of that road makes the maximum difficulty of
fjperation going westward on that divialon^f the
road. The Jjeader a&y^z "The grade is said to be
more than 48 feet to the mile, and the cuiVature is
equivalent to an addition to the grade of 8 fe.et to
the mile, maViTig the grade equal to 5G feet to the
mBe. The Atl^tic Boad resists the appropriation
upon the ground that the 'necessity for
the appropriation ' cannot be shown, and
that unless this necessity be shown * by
satisfactory proof ' to tJie Probata Judge
of the county, there is no authority of law in Omo
under which an * appropriation proceeding' can go
further, or anv jury be summoned to assess damages.
The court heldf substantially : That the jurisdiction
of the queation of ' the necessity for the appropria-
tien' of a particular point of crossing at eraoe by one
railroad ox another railroad's track in Ohio, rests In
the Probate Court of the county in which the pro-
posed croaricg is situated ; and that where the cross-
mg at the proposed point would work unnecessary,
nnreasouADle or unusuallv dangerous interruption to
tho service of the public In the operation of the
original road, and it ia reasonably practicable to select
a point of crossing not open -to either of these objec-
tions, an impartial public tribunal will riot, in the
exercise of the supervisory power delegated to it by
the State over the exercise of the power of ' eminent
domain' by a corporation, decide that there is a ne-
cessity for the appropriation of the proposed eross-
ing."

Some interesting information on the subject
of German emigration ta given in a report by Vice-
Consul KTtMje, just issuejd. It appears by official sta-
tistics that the namber <if Germans who emigrated to
the XJnito(k SUtes, from 1645 to I87G, both y»«xs in-
clusiYe,jWii 2,685,430. Emigration from Germany,
particnljarly to the United States, increased steadily
after the memorable year 1848, and assumed very
large proportions immediately after the chances of a
war between Austria anid Prussia in 1852 and 1S63.
The largest number of emigrants of any year left
in Summer 1854, or ^ter the declaration of the
Crimean war— the United States alone receding
215,00*9 German immigrants in that year. There
ap^ars a considerable flailing off from 1858 to 1864,
but already iu 1865, w^en a probability of a war
betweek Austria and Prussia became more and more
visible, I the number of j emigrauts began to increase
very much. The years! from 1806 to 1870, most
likely in consequence of the suapipious relations
between Francej and the North German Confedera-
tion, which ultiiuately brought on the war In 1870,
give very large figures. Even the year IbTO has the
large number of 91,779 emigrants.. "Strance to
witness," says Consul Hmge. " after the close of the
Francd-German war, w|ien th« German Empire had .
been cjjeated, and a prosperity seemed to have come
over Germany beyond any expectation, when wages
had been almost doubled, and when, in fact, everything
kJoked|in the briahtest colors, a complete emigration
fever «ras raging in alljparts of Germany ; '■' and the
vears 1871, 18*2, 187B show an almost alarming
tendezi|<:y to quit the Ijatherland. This movement
wouldno doubt have continued but for the natural
check It received through the financial and commer-
rial crisis in the United States. There are, however,
at present again unquestionable signs that a very
large smijrrating element fs smoldering in Germany,
Btimolkted by political hod economicai embrollmenta
which ^will break forth as soon as sufficient hope and
Inducements offer themselves in transatlantio eoun-
triea In the eyes of the disconteuted and de-
sponding Germans: ' The general political as-
pect and the decline of German commerce
and industry at the present period are,
observes Consul Kmge^ such that an emigration on a
large scale must be the naturml consoouauce of the
rukng state of affairs. Among other illustrations of
the causes of a desire on the part of the Germans to
leave ^heir native land. Consul Kruge mentions the
religionis "Knlturkampf,"-whlch, he says, in its prac-
tical results may at least up till now be rifhtly
termed an unsuccessful move on the political chess-
board, and hss been brought home by decrees to the
Roman Catholic population In an irfitatme, harass-
ing foriu. Between tiie priests on the one hand and
the G<iivemment on the other the lives of the Roman
Catholic peasantr>- are, made one of "perfect tor-
ment ;p and these people naturally desire to leave
that country where, rightly or wrongly,
they believe thedr religion attacked or
endangered. ! The j relations between France
and Germany' also |act poworfuUy to promote
emigration, and the huge expenses of maintaining
the army, besides a navy of considerable size, cou-
tribnte to swell the emieration tendency of the conn- ■
trv. Consul Kruge thmks that if the Australian
colonies care to have the largest portion of tite commg
German emigration, at no time have they bad a bet-
ter cnanot) or creating an extensive movement to
their shores than at present. In the meantime. Or.

lar aervicos in those l conutrles shoold eventtudly
be amalgauinted, iand that admission to
them I should be obtained by passing throagh
the ^nde of stadenti dragoman. The following are .
the regulations undeir which candidates will bo op-

by open competition, after examination by the
C'ivil ; Service Conunissioners. who will eive public
notice beforehand of the subjectii of snch examina-
tion, iand of the time when it will be hold. 3. The
student dragomans, as soon as possible after their
appointment, -will proceed to Constantinople, where
they [Will be under the orders of her Majesty's ^Vm-
bassador, and of a metnlwr of the embassy specially
appointed to superintend them. They will be pro-

T i& liOix^n Standard of Aug. Isays: "At
tho Gtuldhall, Westminster, yesterday, before tho
Assistant Judge at the Middlesex Sessions, ThonuM
Booffler appealed against an order of the Parish of
St. Asry, Islington, to demolish premises known as
New BnnhiUi-fields. Mr. £. J. Jones said he had
known the ground for 43 years, and had been pro-
priejtor of it. It was closed as a burial-ground in
18Sp. There were thousands of , funerals there to
his personal knowledge. The ground was comi>let«ly
rottjon. It was a Ijurying-ground before 1802, and
had been used for funerals three times over, bodies
bell g buried above those already Interred when the
" coffins became rotten. They were anxious to make
theiWost of the ground, and put the coffins as close to
ead 1 other aa possible. Mr.BooflBer, the appellant,
had allthe books, and would never produce them. In
the register books of the burials in the
whnle of the ground there were upward of 6,000 en-
tries from l802 to 1853. On that particular spot
whi re the houses were built there was room for 90
gra' ^es and they, on an average, -put nine coffins In
eacigrave. There wonld,- therefore, be about 600
or ' (K> bodies in that part of the ground. In digging
for the reception of fresh bodies, u they found xiofflna
at dl rotten they knocked them to pieces. The
ground was perfectly honeycombed with bodies and
m a state of corruption. Some of the cofl&ns were re-
moved in the night so that the Inhabitants should not
be Drightened by their remo vaL They had buried from
23 to 25 on a Sunday.andlhe average of Sunday burials
wa^ about 1 8. Qn week days the burials y?er e three or
four a day. A great number of burials took place
there from the Fever Hospital The particular spot
on Which these houses had been erected was not
drained at all Tho whole of the ground was made
uppf bones, rubbish, wood, and remains of bodies.
Wl^en a body was required to be buri<)d a searching-
Iron was put down, and if it struck against a coffin,
and there was not sufficient depth, then it was wlth-
m and a fresh search was nude. Joseph Fiurs-
said that wHea some coffins were dragged out
men employed were up to then- knees hi black

lence of the stench. The Assistant Judge held
', this was not a case that eame under the pro-
visions of tha Artisans' and Laborers' Improvement

SOWIAF^NESE FANS a:RE MADE.
In his just -published report to the Foreign
Office, her Majesty's
acting Consul for Hiogo and
Osako, ia Japau, tells us that the latter place is the
principal city for the manufactttre of the Offi, or fold-
ing fans, all descriptions of the bamboo kind being
made there, Whiliethe flgores, writing, &c., are exe-
cuted in Kiy6to. The superior fans, called
uchiwa, are manufactured In Kiy6to, and
are extensively' used by the better classes of
Japanese, while the inferior kinds of the same
description come from FushimI and Tokid. 3Ir.
Anneslev cites from | a locaF%ulhority some interest-
ing partleulara respecting the manufacture of the ogi.
or folding fau.t, of which the following are the salient
featorea ; "When the printed sheets which are to
form the two sides ojf the fans have been handed over
to the workman,! together with the bamboo slips for
the ribs, fals I firat business is to fold the
two sheets I which are to form the fan so
that they iwill retain the crease. This ia
done by placing them between two pieces of
heavily-oiled paper, which are properly creased, and
the four are then folded up together and placed un-
der pressure. When sufficient time has elapsed the
sheets ~are taken nut and the molds used again, the
released sheets being packed up for at least 24 hours
In their folds. The ;ueit proiiess Is to take the ribs-
(which are temporarily arranged in order on a wire.)
and 'set* themj into their places on one of the
sheets after it has b^en spread out on a block and
pasted. A dash of I paste then gives the wood-work
adhesive powers, aiad that part of the proce.'ts is
flnishod by affixing! the remaining piece of paper.
The fan has to be ft^lded up and opened three or four
times before the folds get into proper shspe. and
by the time It is put by to dry it has rereivt»d an
amount of handltnc that no foreign paper would en-
dure. The qualities of native paper now used are
not nearly; BO gbodlaa thosi»of which the old fans
were made, and In consequence the style of manu-
facture had had to be changed. Instead of first pasting
the two surfaced of the fan tocether. and then run-
ing in thupalntoti rib^. the ribs are square, and Bfi
mentioned aboVP. are jiasted In their plsreit. The
ontside lacquenkl pl»><y»8 and the fancy work are all
done in Osaka aud Kiyoto, and some of the designs
in gf»ld lacquer W bone are reallv artistic, but the
demand for the lilghly ornamented fans is not great.
When tho in8id(?s are dry, tho riveting of the pieces
together (Including the outer covering) is rapidly
done, aud a dasn of^varniKb quickly finlanes tlie fan."
AVSTRLiN MILITAET PRACTIOB.
^Tho Pall Mfill Gtuftte of July 31, says : " The
Austrian military authorities have determined to
establish at St4|iafeld a school of artillery, with an
organization slmilalr to that of the existing school of
mu.sketr>- at Briict. Thirty-seven officers and 80
men are to be instructed annually in the new school,
the men being exorcised principally In pointing and
laying guns, the ofScers in conducting experiments,
determining trajectories, ranges, &c. The course of
instruction is to begin each year in the Spring, and
to conclude when Winter sets in. It has also been
decided that the men belonging to the siege artillery
and the englaeers of the Austrian Army shall
be specially eixprcised this Summer. A mimic
bombardment of Komorn will be carried ont by the
former, while the latter will throw a pontoon bridge
across the Danube, toward the end of August. In the
presence of thel Emperor, Owing probably to finan-
cial considerations, there will not be any regular
Autumn manoeuvres on a largo scale in Austria this
year ; but, nevertheless, the troops will be exercised
in combined manoiuvres in the vicinity of each of
the large garrisons. For instance, the garrison of
Vienna, which consists of detachments of the First,
Second, and Twenty-fifth Divisions of Infantrj-, will
be reinforced by calllug fn the battalions quartered
at Br^k, Klostemeuburg, Mauer, &c., and will
manoeuvre, in conjunction with a force of artillery,
cavalry, and engineers, dnring the last week of
August and the first seven days of September. Simi-
lar mancBUvres will also be executed by the garrison
of Lint, in concert with the troops stationed In the
Prague military district, and it Is expected that the
Emperor and Archdukes Trill be present at these lat-
ter exercises."

A "reilred officer" writes to the London

A PECULIAR DIVORCE CASE.
A clerk's charges AGAINST BIS WI7X— HER
DENIALS AND COUKTEB CHARGES.
Henry gangster, a clerk with Eugene S.
Mower, a coal merchant, has brought suit in the
Court of Common Pleas to obtain a divorce from his
wife, Alice, who keeps a boarding-house at Ko. 302
West Twenty-ninth-street, on the ground of her al-
leged adultery, especially with one Joseph W. Wil-
son, a boarder in defendant's house. The parties
have no children. Songster alleges that he arrived
in this country from England with his wife in 1870.
and that he has always well provided for her ; that
he was tamed ont of his own house by Wilson, who
he charges is kept by his wife when he is out of em-
ploy; that his wife has magnificent 'silk dresses,
worth $100 each, a gold watch and ch^n worth
$200, gold bracelets, gold and amethyst lockets,
rings of pearls and other precious stones, a seal-
skin sacque worth $150, a Paisley shawl worth
$50, and over $300 worth of iilvsr wai*, "the
gifts of her various gentlemen friends ;" also " that
her underclothing is of the most expensive kind,
trimmed with real lace and embroidery ; " that she
neglected her duties as a wife, failing " even to put a
stitch in his clothing, or even to sew a button on his
shirt ; " that he had often implored her to break
with Wilson, and shehadreplied, "You are not able to
keep me as I should be kept, and, tloecftfore have no
right to complain," and she furtiwr sidd, "If you
do not like it, you can go." Sangster
farther allegM that his wif6 "wotild kiss
and htig Wilson in the presence of persons living in
the house;" that she would "help Wilson to hia
room when ho was intoxicated, and undress him
and put him to bed ;" that in 187S she proposed to
plaintiff " that if be would submit to letting a rich
old man of her acquaintance have a room in the
house, and shut his eyes, said man Would buy end
furnish her a house in her own name for the purpose
of keeping boarders, and that plsdntiff might then do
without work ;" and that "In April, 18*^ the said
old man. whose name the defendant refused to tell.
furnished her with $2(X> to go to England, and that
she went and remained abr<»d four months.'.
The defendant and Wilson both deny the truth of
the allegations of the plaintiff, the defendant aver-
ring that she is a poor woman, almost destitute of
means, and that she has always been a virtuous and
good wife, supporting herself during the nine years
of her marriage with plaintiff, and that he has never
^ven her any presents since their marriage, except a
silver thimble and » napkin ring; and that the only
money she has received from hkn for a long time was
a loan of $5, which she was unable to repay him in
cash, and which she discharged by giving mm a pair
of blankets. Wilson swears in an affi&vit tliat he
has not bad any improper relations with the de-
fendant, and that he "believes she is virtuous and
honorable."
The main part of theso charges and denials were
contained in affidavits submitted to the court on mo-
tions _ mode on behalf of the defendant for counsel
fee and alimony, and that plaintiff should furnish a
bill of particulars relating to Ids chaiges against her.
Both parties allege that they are poor, plaintiff
swearing thot he cannot afford to pay either connsel
fee or alimony, and defendant that she cannot pay
the expenses of the suit and maintain herself with-
out some allowance.
Judge Larremore yesterday ordered a reference of
the application for counsel fee and alimony, and de-
nied the morion for a bill of particulars.

A.Y EARLY STEAMER'S FIGXTRB-HBAD.
The New-Haven PaUadtMin of Monday says :
' ' On tho portico of Mr. Frederic C. Rowland's reol-
dence in Olive-street ii a fine model of an American
eagle, which has an interesting history. It was the
figure-head of the steamer United States, which plied
between this dty and New-Tork earlv in the twen-
ties. She was the first boat to cross into o«tsin
Kew-Tork waters after the Folton monopoly eama to
an end. Before that time she used to nm between
this city and a point jtistihortof the nnnopolixed
waters. At one time she ran aground on Tairfleld
Beach, and Mr. George Bowlaud, father of
Mr. Frederick C Bowland, put a gang of
men at work and had her dug out. "When tha
steamer was refitted he was given the escle, aod It
has been kept in the family ever since. It has been
pulntod aud gilded for a large number of public ocea-
eions.^the family loaning it to nearly everybody who
applied for it. A few of these occasions werw Got.
Seymour's reception by P. T. Bamnm, early ia the
decade ending at the beginning of 18G0 ; at a grand
reception in this dty tendered to Hon. John Wood-
ruff, and during the PreddGntial campaign whkb
ended in placing ' Honest Abe ' in the White House
for his first tcmu 1)uring that importsnt eamptfga
it perched on the Wigwam in OUve-atreet. Tbia ued
eagle has also done dutv npon locomotlTes attached
to trains on whli^ distlngutshed stateraoen hacva
been. It has alav honored Fourth oif July railroad
excursions."

Mr. Raxdall has been heard from again.
A reporter of a Te.xas paper has brought
him to the surfaee with a statement that
practically pledges his support to the Mis-
sissippi leveo scheme, the Texas Pacific
Kailroail, and ii gmieral plan of Government
exponJitura for iutenial improvements' in
the South. ''Tlie :?(>, 000,000 acres of
laud now covered by the waste waters from
the Mississippi should be reclaimed ;" when
thei "Southern members all agree as to the
geographical line the road should take,
there would Ix" little opposition " to the Texas
pacific ; and as to the labor troubles, " if
internal improvements will help us, then let
ns have- internal improvements. " These are
ifr. Rasd.\ll".s bids for Southern support.
We presume they wUlTie successful, and the
great lobby which will concentrate at Wash-
ingtcm ne.xt Winter will not he slow to ap-
preciate the value of a "willing" Speaker.
The role of economy will be doubly hard for
th6.,Demoerat3, however, under such leader-
ahij,.
That the reform movement of which the
election of an Anti-Tammany delegation to
the Legislature will be one of the results, i
likely to succeed this Fall, there can be but
little doubt. It is extremely desirable, how-
ever, that it should be a citizens' movement
in fact as well as in name, and that some
active persons of the trading politician per-
suasion who are now somewhat obtrusively
advertised in connection with it, should be
estimated at their proper value. We have
no desire to underrate the political impor-
tance of Mr. E. R Hart and his colleagues
who haVe formed what is known as the
"New-York County Democracy. 'M But
there are people who 'will insist on
associating ideas of a "sell / out"
vrith these industrious gentlemen,
and who will persist in thinking that with
one member of the Hart family in the Con-
troller's office, and another in the Mayor's
Permit Bureau, the political vision of the
Chairman of the E.xeeutivo Committee of
the County Democracy may be in some dan-
ger of squinting Tammany-wise. A similar
doubt may be hazarded about the vitality
of '* reform" principles among the Anti-Cus-
tom-house Republicans, who are reported
to be warmly in accord with the Hart ■wing
of the Anti-Tammany Democrats. It is ex-
tremelj' unlikely that the leadership of the
movement against the Kelly dictatorship
will he allowed to fall into any such hands.
If it does', so much the worse for the move-
ment. '
TTie almost simultaneous tidings from
J>oints a thousand miles apart — the Staked
J'lains, in Texas, and Big Hole Caiion, in
t&Iontana — have illustrated the folly of the
'•cry for army reduction which was raised in
the last Congress, and has been more or
less echoed since. Besides the ordinary
garrison needs, we have seen three distinct
and imperative calls made upon the Army
this Summer — one to guard the Texan
l)ord(;rfrom the raids' of bandits from Mex-
Jco ; a second to quell the Indian uprisings
in Xdaho and Montana ; a third to protect
Of 'vernment and corporate property, and, in
feet, society itself , from riots in the Atlantic
f jtates. The most frantic friends of army re-
duction will not claim that the same soldier
could srrai Jtaneously answer all three of these
calls,. even if ho were "like Cerberus, three
gentlemen at once." 'What we have learned
is that triinsportiiig troops, on sudden calls,
irom Georgia to California, from North Car-
jolirji to Texas, from Ne^t-York to Pittsburg,
from Washington to St.* LouisJ* and so on,
makes a heavy bill of expense, which would
go a long way toward paying for a larger
fiirmy. If the blanket is too short and too
narrow, no twisting and turning wUl make
it fit the bed ; pull 'it toward the head-board
of Canada and it lays bare the posts in
Texas ; stretch it well over the Pacific coast
and it uncovers the Atlantic shore. The
Summer's lesson ought not to be forgotten
next Winter by Congress.
The letter of our special correspondent
trom Oltenitza will be found very interest-
Sing reading. It discusses, with a thorough
command of facts and military possibilities,
the prospects of the campaign in Bulgaria
after the first Russian defeat at Plevna, and
it foreshadowsKin a way fully justified by
Bubsequent eveqts, the relative positions in
which other reverses were likely to leave
the contending forces. A very graphic pen-
picture of Gen. ■ Igxatieit, the ex- Ambas-
sador of Russia at Constantinople, is not, in
view of the announced resignation of Prince
'GoKTSCHAKOPP, the least suggestive and
timely portion of a letter which will amply
tep&j/eaietal perusal.
THE " WOSEING MEN" IN POLITICS.
Nothing could bo more natural than that
the "working men," or laborers for daily
and weekly wages, should in this countr}'
seek to better their condition b» forming a
political party. It is natural, because the
people of the United -States have long had
an exaggerated idea of what the Government
can do to make lif A ea.sier and pleasanter for
every one, and because this particular class
of the people have been taught in sea-
son and out of season to expect
from political parties the utmost de-
votion to their interests. It certainly
is not due to our politicians if the
working men do not believe that the Gov-
ernment can remove all difficulties from
their path, and that the simplest way to get
the Government to do so is to form a politi-
cal party to control directly, by a majority
vote, or'fndirectly, by gaining the balance
of power, the action of the Government.
This policy, moreover, is as legitimate as it
is natural, and the working men not only
have a clear right to organize to
carry their views into effect, but
their*-doiug so is likely, in tlie long
run, to be of advantage to them. If their
views are erroneous, there is no way of cor-
recting them so surely as by making them
the subject of political discussion, and even
of legislation. Free institiitious often find
their greatest utility to those who live under
them in giving an opportunity to learn, in
the stern school of e.xperience, the conditions
of healthy public life and the limitations
which hem in every organized community.
It is, of course, desirable that political
parties should aim at some practicable and
just purpose, and should pursue this purpose
by rational means. But, as a matter of fact,
no party invariably observes these require-
ments. The working men are not likely, in
their own name, to demand more absurd and
unattainable ends than politicians have
from time to time _ profe.-tsed to seek in
order to gain their votes, aud it may be
that independent action, aud the responsi-
bility whicli goes with it; will sober the
authors of the now movement, and keep
their expectations within reasonable limits.
Their present position, however, is not en-
couraging. The mo-st extended statement
of doctrine which has yet been made is that
of the Cincinnati Convention on Saturday.
Tills contains a good deal that is vague and
declamatory — a feature not wholly un-
known in other political platforms — and
some very clear statements as well. Among
the "demands" of the convention are the
establishment of eight hours as "a normal
working day , " and punishment of ' ' violators ;"
abolition of all conspiracy laws ; repeal of
the patent laws and charters giving special
pri'vileges ; repeal of the tariff laws, and
substitution of direct taxation based on in-
come ; all means of transportation and com-
munication to be controlled by the Govern-
ment, and finally, " for the purpose of abol-
ishing the wages system, all industrial enter-
prises to be placed under tlie control of the
Government as fast as practicable, and
operated by free co-operative unions for the
good of the whole people."
There are other propositions of minor im-
portance and less significance. Those which
we have indicated show very plainly what
the organizers of the working men's party
think they ought to have and are likely to
get from political action. We need hardly
say that their demands are almost wholly
visionary, and that if Congress and every
SEate Legislature were to be in the hands of
the workiifg men's direct representatives for
the next ten years, and they were allowed free
trial of all the measures here proposed, they
would find themselves, at the end of that
time, poorer in purse and more dependent
for the necessities and comforts of life
than they now are. In the meantime they
might work a great deal of mischief to oth-
ers, but they would be sure to suffer' most
themselves. The reason of this is that
what they propose ignores the most impor-
tant fact connected with the transaction of
any kind of business — namely, that it
is undertaken for the profit of each
man concerned, and that this is
ieh the only motive by which business,
hi»v whether agriculture, or manufactures, or
transportation, or mercantile exchanges
can be sustained. The laws which the
working men now suggest ( ignore this mo-
tive on the part of all bnt themselves, and
It-will b« observed that the Stoats Zeitung
Inakes a forcible rejoinder to the somewhat
tawdry plea of the World in favor of the
Governor's purity of motiTes in vetoing the
^omnibus" charter and the Financial bill
passed at last session for the relief of
Kew-York tax-payers. The only "weighty
and controlling public reasons" whiei
the Governor gave for -withholding
approval &oia these bills were summed np
In the statement that they were opposed by
'the majority; of the City del^ation in the
3Liegislatare> That majority was the ore-
ot ^QUBBiaaZi uuL notoriombr. aeted 1 not oalr upwre U. bat tawtadq it. and if
^g ITtfay-gotft ^gay ^tttsM^.'^t^s^ i4/ 1877,
they were carried ont the only effect wonld
be to destroy the demand for labor, impair
the means of paying for labor, and reduce
its earnings,! Against the operation of this
process the working men would be the least
able to support themselves, and would, as
we have said, stiff:! the most severely.
Take, for instance, the enforcement of
eight hours ^s a working day. This is de-
sirable, of course, only if it can be had with-
out a reduction of the day's pay. 'Where
the present hotirs of labor are ten per day,
it would therefore be equivalent to an ad-
vance of 20 per cent, in wages. But the
Government cannot enforce specific
rates of wages. England, when its
Parliament was a close corporation,
and the laborers were as helpless politipally
as the Indians are in our country, tried to
keep down wages by law, and failed. To
try to advance them in the United States
would simply drive out of business those
who could not afford to pay the advance,
and throw the workmen, thus deprived of
employment, into desperate competition
with their fellows.
Take again the repeal of patent laws.
This demand is based on the theory that
useful inventions would stUl be made just
as freely if there were no right of property
in them after they were made. But clearly"
this is a false theory. No man, unless an
enthusiast or a dreamer, would waste his
time contriving machinery which his next
neighbor could copy at -will, and to which
[lis own labor and study gave no value what-
sver that he could get pay for. It is for
:he working men themselves to say
svhethei' inventions are worth ""Saving,
rhey apparently think so, or they
Evould not want to make them free. But if
JUT patent laws were repealed, we should
soon see our inventors either idle or seeking
their fortunes in other countries where
they could enjoy the fruits of their own
skUL The immediate result of this would
bo to give such foreign countries an im-
mense advantage over our own, and to
make the demand for work here steadily
diminish.
Finally, the scheme for the Government
management of all " industi-ial enterprises"
is the one which would most surely come to
grief. Xo Government is or can be made
fit for any such business. It would have to
work through liired employes, and could never
command the energy, perseverance, vig-
ilance, study, skill, and honesty necessary
to insure success. Nor could it long com-
maud capital. If it undertook to raise it by
taxation, capital would be sent ont or taken
out of the coiuitry, for men with money to
lose would never submit to putting it into
the Iiaiuls of office-holders to waste or steal.
The result, as in the other insta nces we
have cited, would be d'Lsastrous to the work-
ing men aud on a larger scale. We have
thus pointed out brielly what we regard as
the impracticable demands of the new
party. We repeat that there is no reason
why they should not seek to enforce them
tlirough political organization, if they are
sincerely convinced that they will be bene-
fited by their enforcement. But the most
sure, and probaldy the most useful, result of
their expcriraeut will be the acquisition of
some wholesome, though perhaps expensive,
political knowledge.

THE WAli WITH THE SEZ I'ERCES.
Making all allowances, Gen. Gibbon's
bloody fight in the Big Hole Pass can-
not be reckoned a success. When we
find an officer of Gibbon's record tele-
graphing that the affair has left him in
need of everything, and begging that aid may
be sent him, it is doubtful whether we can
concede him even a drawn battle. The
preceding fight with Joseph, at the mouth
of Cottonwood Creek, which Howard
claimed as a triumph, was at best but a
Cadmean victory — a struggle in which the
uominal victors suffered quite as much as
the vanquished,
"The remarkable feature of the war with
the Nez Percys is the skill with which the
Indians have fought. Wo do not now refer
to pimple feats of valor, but to tlio actual
tactical conduct of battle; for they have
\n every respect proved themselves as
th(»rough soldiers as any of our trained vet-
erans. In the affairs on Camas Prairie their
celerity aud boldness were conspicuous. In
HfiWARD's battle on the Clearwater, there is
little doubt that he outnumbered the hos-
tiles, and ho had the advantage of artil-
lery ; yet, despite his Galling guns and his
howitzers, the Xez Percys got On his line of
supplies aud for twenty-four hours threat-
ened to destroy hiin. Their inanGeuvres
have been in every way skillful. Whether
the demanil is for selection of the battle-
ground, for skirmishing, for flanking, for
threatening communications, for attack in
mass, for intrenching with rifle-pits, for de-
taching sharp-shooters " to comraaiid a
spring of water," as in Howard's fight, or
foi charging " a high, wooded bluff," which
proves to be the strategic key of the posi-
tiob, as in Gibbon's fight, the Indians ex-
hibit instincts and methods as strictly mili-
tary as if they had been acquired at West
Point.
Joseph and his band have been much
imdeiTated by the common reports. He is
no vagabond, putting on the war-paint from
thirst of blood and greed of booty. He has
a cause which, we regret to say, is too much
founded in justice ; he and his tribe have
been -wronged ; and the costly war he is
now waging could, with ordinary good
sense and a suiccre purpose to do
him ' justice, have been prevented.
His braves are by no means a gang of be-
sotted brutes, with no instincts above drink-
ing, thie-ving, and scalping. Who are the
Nez Percys f They are a tribe who have,
by long aud friendly intercourse 'with the
whites, acquired not a few arts ot civiliz'S-
tion. Well endowed by nature, some of
them have shown, by their skill in agricul-
ture on the reservation, considerable capa-
cities for progress. From the time of
Lewis- and Clark's expedition to this
day the Nez Percys have maintained a repu-
tation decidedly superior to the average of
Indians. They have been mostly peaceful,
af d some of them have picked up consider-
able education. Lawteb, the main chief of
the tribe, is a man of character ; his brother
is a regularly-ordained Presbyterian preach-
er in Oregon. Joseph's band, as we have
before explained, have never been in the
Nez Perc6 reservation, which was set apart
in 1855, but have been allowed during
more than twenty years to have their liber-
ty of roving and their own little patch of

laJB ATTITUDE OF GERMAWY.
The present attitude of Germany, and the
events whi eh have led to it, afford a curious
study tc those who hold that history repeats
itself. Looking back to the last century,
wefind E^ilissia, In 1748, holding the bal-
ance of power in Central Europe, and to a
certain extent guiding the movements of
her immediate neighbors. Fifteen years
later we s^e her, in 1763, ■victorious over
Austria and France, and dictating a treaty
which g»ves her a considerable accession of
territory. The close of the Russo-Turkish
war of 1770 finds Austria in sus-
picious anxiety as to the designs of
Russia, and , the Cabinet of Berlin
acting as umpire between the three
Eastern Powers. Finally, in 1784, comes
the realization of Frederick the Great's
long-cherished scheme of a Furstenbund,
or confederation of German Princes, under
the acknowledged headship of Prussia.
Every o le of these events finds its counter-
part in the hi-story of the last ten years,
and the spirit of Frederick the Great ap-
pears t<i have revived in the person of.
Prince lliRMARCK.
But here the parallel ends ; for, although
Germany's sources of power are the same,
she is now exerting them in a diametric all v
opposite direction. In 1770 she aided
Austria to holdback Russia; in IS 77 she
is aidinf ; Russia to hold back Austria. "When
Marshal Rouajitzofp was dashing across
the Kag ioul in pursuit of the' flying Turks,
Count V ON IKaunitz, the Austrian Premier,
-wrote in all haste to Frederick the Great
that "Austria would declare 'war rather
than permit the acquisition by Russia of
Moldavii and Wallachia." Substituting
Bulgarit, for the two Principalities, her
message is sub.stantially the same
now ; but it no longer meets the
•same icady response. In those days,
however, there was still an alternative,
which tl e sagacious King of Prussia was not
slow to perieive. Russia wished to dismem-
ber Turkey ; Austria objected ; but between
the two iisputants lay a territory even more
easily dismembered, which might serve as a
scapegoiit. I No sooner said than done ; Aus-
tria anil Eussia shared Poland between
them, Prussia received the north-western
corner ai a consultation fee, and all was har-
mony once more. Will the present dispute
be arranged by a similar partition of Turkey ?
But it is not the lo ist striking feature of
this e.xtrioriilinary complication that Rus-
sia's staiichest friend at this moment is the
very State ijvhich she is wont to regard as
her natur,-il and most formidable enemy.
Germanj- is to Russia now what France
was to England in lC7i>, or England to
France in 1816 — at once the close ally of
the Government and the bitter aversion of
the nation. It was in illustration of this
latter feeling that Nicholas Gogol, the
greatest of Russian huraori.st.s. described a
pious Cossack as putting the Kvil One to
flight w.th the epithet of "accursed Ger-
man," an insult which the foul fiend himself
could not endure. Of the thousands who
have Ian ;hed over this imique s.arcasm, very
few su.s]>ect what a deep political truth is
masked by its seeming extravagance. In
Saratoff and the other great manufacturing
towns o : the Volga, one may often hear
quoted,
proverb.
Gei-man
with spiteful emphasis, the pithy
" Few German wojkmen, many
overseers," and this fact, together
with the prominence of the foreigners in
politics as well as tr.ado, and the fear of a
war witl Germany ou the casus hetU of th<
Baltic P roviuces, snlTicicntly explains this
all-pervading antipathy. But whatever pos-
sibilities may lurk in the future, the genuine
ness of the .support given by Germany to
Russia, md the advantages derived from it
by the Utter, arc, for the present, beyond
dispute.

giving his quota to the great riddle, 'What
■win they do with it f We begin by admit-
ting that there is no place between High
Bridge and the Battery where offal, refuse,
waste, or other rejected matter can be de-
posited. An experiment was tried on Har-
lem flats. The receding tides, and the nat-
ural effect of Sim rays on marshy lands, were
bad enough, but when street-sweepings and
ashes were superadded, the odors were so
pungent that the ^pulation of the upper
part of the City held their noses and pro-
tested. Then sundry thousands of tons were
sent over to Blackwell's lUand, where the
striped-shirted convicts shoveled it into the
low places of that f amons body of land. High
authority declared that the stuff was inodor-
ous. But laymen of equal intelligence, and
without bias, are ready to swear that it was
horribly offensive, and that it was monstrous
to punish the unfortunates of the City insti-
tutions with such smells as those which
were thus circulated.
The sea and the waters about New- York
Bay only remained. Those who' have read
the somewhat frequent letters of Mr. G. W.
Blunt on the subjeetof dumping garbage in
the Bay, need not be told that the Police
Commissioners have had a hard time of it.
G. W. Blttnt has the eyes of Argus. A
solitary scow cannot steal ont in the dark-
ness of niglit with its guilty load of gar-
bage, but the keen nose of Blcnt follows
its scent, and the piratical skipper is, next
day, haled before a magistrate on a
charge of obstructing navigation. After
Blunt, come the Long Island counties
of Kings and Queens. The first of these
has put an injunction on the Commis-
sioners, and the other has indicted
them for committing a nuisance. The only
naval engagement of the decade, except tliat
off the coast of Peru, was fought by the
Kings County Shore Inspectors and the f^r- -
bage fleet off Coney Island, when it was at-
tempted to unload offal in the sad sea waves
which lave the sandy beaches of Kings.
Staten Island has pursued the Commission-
ers so virulently that a garbage scow would
no more venture near that locality than a
Cossack would trust himself in Constanti-
nople.
There is nothing left for the Police Com-
missioners but to construct a sea-going fleet
and send the City refuse outside of the three
marine leagues which constitute the bovmd-
ary of civil jurisdiction. There, at least,
the vigilant Blunt cannot follow them. In-
deed, we observe that this Ancient Mariner,
congratulating himself on the fact that the
Commissioners are in trouble, and will be iu
more trouble this Winter, suggests that a
sea-going fleet is necessary. He says
tliat noboily can make any money by
nsing the City refuse, and that four iron
vessels, able to na^-igate the waters outside
of Sandy Hoolt, must be provided. These,
loaded with the refuse, garbage, and waste,
may proceed to sea under steam, and, when
out of sight of land, may drop their loads
in the deep bosom of the ocean and return
without danger of legal process or news-
paper letters from G. W. B. 'Tis a consum-
mation devoutly to be wished. The City
must be cleaned, though it is not ; and the
refuse must be dumped somewhere. Since
we cannot utilize it or destroy it on the
land, it follows that we must carry it to sea.
And as we have the authority of an emi-
nent seaman that an iron-clad fleet is neces-
sarj- for the safe disposition of the garbage,
we may as well make up our minds to submit
to the inevitable waste of money and of
matter out of place.
ATLANTA RATS.
It has been mentioned, perhaps even more
than once, that we never fully appreciate
our blessings until after they have vanished.
Many a man, who never noticed anything
remarkable about his -wife while she was
living, has felt, after she was dead and buried
and her relations had ceased to visit them,
that on the whole she was an estimable
woman. The Western statesmen who now
weep over the vanished silver dollar of our
forefathers never cared anvthing about it
while it was yet a recognized part of our
currency; and the people of Atlanta never
knew how dearly they loved theii- original
rats until those excellent beasts ha^l been
extirpated. In fact, the Atlantese were ac-
customed to poison them and to instigate
cats and terriers to assassinate them. Now,
however, they ff(\ about mourning for the
rat of their I'athei-s, antl refuse to be com-
forted unless he is resurrected and made
plentiful, both in the cabin of the poor man
and the alleg<^d pala<'e of the rich.
The original .\tlanta rat was a small and
timid beast, who confmed himself to the
simple pleasures of the corn-bin and the
store-room. Ho was rarely seen, especially
by daylight, and was unquestionably modest
aud retiring in his disposition. Even when
he appeared in force and passed in a vast
procession before the eyes of the local
statesman after a long and thirsty political
campaign, he was not regarded as an object
of terror. Of course he was called a uui-
s,ance, and it was held to be a worthy act to
Rapture and kill him ; but while he could
not be said to be a popiilar beast, he did not
fire the Atlanta heart with rage to any great
extent.
At the coming of Sherman's Army the rat
of Atlanta felt called upon, as a proud and
patriotic beast, to withdraw with dignity
from the presence of the invader. In this
resolution he was materially aided by the
efforts of a horde of vandal rats who accom-
panied the Union Army, and promptly de-
voured the Atlanta rat. The new-comers
were of the stalwart breed that flourishes in
the neighborhood of the New- York docks.
In size each Northern rat was fully equal to
two of his Southern rivals, and there was
not the slightest particle of chivalry in his
nature. Having driven out his predecessor,
this large and objectionable rat now inhab-
its every rat-hole in Atlanta, and his coarse
and violent maimers have so exasperated
the public against him that there is a uni-
versal demand for his abolition and for the
restoration of the original rat of the Atlanta
fathers.
We all know of what our oivn private
New-York rats are capable, but there is
reason to believe that the demoralizing in-
fluences of army life and the stimulating
effects of a hot climate have developed in
Atlanta a far more efficient beast. It is
said to be the custom of the present style
of Atlanta rat to break open a chicken-
coop in broad daylight, and to carry off the
laigest and fattest; hen in spite of her loud-
est protests. A whole brood of chickens
merely tnriiiBhea a lifbt sapper for a
health/ rat, while small terrier dogs and
tmdersized cats are regarded in rodent^ir-
eles solely in the light of readily availftBle
food. It may not be true, as alleged by the
colored ministers of the city, that the rat
is constantly in the habit of stealing full-
grown pigs, and of carrying off the entire
contents of smoke-houses, but when we
remember the depraved character of the
rat it seems quite possible that he may com-
mit these crimes solely in order that esti-
mable colored men may be suspected of
them, and thus placed under the necessity
of calling for troops. There is, however, no
doubt that the Atlanta rat is wonderfully
bold and wicked, and that te enters kitchens
and dining-rooms at all hours to the unutter-
able horror of the female population, the
greater part of which passes its time in
standing on chairs and tables, shrieking
loudly, and constantly wrapping its skirts
more and more closely about timorous and
despairing ankles. As for the men, their
hatred of* the new rat is intense. It is
claimed that when the Atlanta statesman is
compelled by force of circumstances to be-
come a spectator of a spiritual circus, he is
instantly set upon flHPilUons of imaginary
rats, who incessantly devour him, and
scarcely leave room for the attending ser-
pents to coil around his legs. Of course it
is conceded that the adulteration of whisky
may be in part responsible for this state of
things, but the rats which appear to the too
hard-working statesman are precisely like
those which entered Atlanta with Sherman's
Army, and hence it is only natural that the
latter should be the objects of peculiar
hatred.
In the light of these melancholy facts, the
Atlanta press demands with one voice the
return — or. to put it more elegantly— the re-
rodentization of the rat of earlier aud hap-
pier times. That this is desirable may,
perliaps. be conceded, but there will proba-
bly be some difficulty in aeeomplisiiing it.
It is all very well for the Atlanta people to
insist that the Town Council should pass a
law declaring that the small and obsolete
rat of the period prior to the war is in all
respects as large as the imported rat, and is
hereafter to be the exclusive and only rat
of Atlanta. Such a law could be readily
passed, but it would not alter the fact that
the imported rat would instantly kill any
aboriginal rat that might make its appear-
ance, and would thus totally pre'v'ent it
from circulating in the partitions and floors
of Atlanta houses. The relative size of
gray and black rats cannot be changed by
an act of any legislative body whatever.
Moreover, what the Atlanta people really
ueed is not the black rat of their fathers,
but the abolition of all rats, and the substi-
tution of some innocuous and useful animal.
The more they clamor for the rat of their
fathers the more they show their inability
to deal with the great zoological question
of the day. Undoubtedly the ' earlier rat
was better than the later rat, but, if Atlanta
were an enlightened community, it would
bend its efforts to ridding itself of all kinds
of rats,. and of resuming at the earliest pos-
sible day the now vanished terriers aud cats
that once made its streets vocal and mid-
night fences musical.

Speaal Ditpatch to the Xe»-Yf>^k Timet.
Washington, Aug. 13. — Even Secretary
Schiirz's repatation as a civil service reformer.
and hi3 character as an honest man, cannot re-
lieve the investigation that id now going on in
the Indian Bureau under his direction of its —
to say the least — unusual features- Be-
tween nine and ten weeks ago Laz-
axus Silverman, a disreputable office broker
c»f this city, the same man who made the charges
against Collector Freeland, of Brooklyn, filed
sharges against Mr, Galpin, Chief Clerk of the
Indian Bureau. It is said that before he took^
them to Secretary Schurz he tried to black-mail
Galpin. Galpin declines to say whether this Is
true or not,-but merely explains that if he is al-
lowed to put in a defense ho will expose Silver-
man's motive. The charges were given origin-
ally too Commissioner Smith. He pronounced
them to frivolous to be noticed. Then they were
taken to Secretary Schurz, who ordered an in-
vestigatiou.aiid deputed Mr. Lockwood. his Chief
Clerk -to represent the Interior Department,
and asked the Attorney-General to detail Mr.
MeGanimon. a clerk in his department, and Sec-
retary McCrary to detail Lieut. Bradley, of the
Army, to assist. Why the.se two men were se-
lected is not exi>lained. They have been sittins?
now in sUxr tlianiber session for nearly 10
weeks, have examined hundreds of witnesses
who have been brought here from all parts of
the country, nud bav^; taken over 1,000 printed
pages of evidence. But durifig all this Chief
Clerk Galpin. who is being investigated, has
not been iiUowed to be present during the
sxamination of a single witness, nor has he
been peruiitttd to cross-examine auy. When he
has asked this privilege, Secretary Schurz has
told him that wheu the evidence against him is
all in he can see it, and will then be allowed to
make as full a defense as he chooses. But the
wiTnL-sse>« who have been calltd here from the
Territories in the far West have been exam-
ined ami sent home, and it is not prob-
able That the Government will pay their
expenses ba**k here again for the pur-
pose t>f a rro=is-exaraiuation. Mr. Galpin
knows only through Silverman the offenses with
which he is charged. Secretary Schurz has
been applied to repeatedly, since the investiga-
tion began, to allow tb* newspapers to be repre-
sente<l. but he has persistently declined, and has
requested that public opinion be suspended until
the iDvestiiration is complete. It is now an-
nounced ihut the completion is nearly reached,
ind Mr. (inlpin has again asked that some of
the witnesses be detained until he can cross-
examine thein. but his re<iuest has been ignored,

THE FISffERIl:S COMMISSWy.
OPENING OF ITS SESSION AT HALIFAX— THE
CLAIMS OF THE BRITISH AND UNITED
STATES GOVERNMENTS — LARGE INTER-
ESTS IN*%-OLVED.
"WASHl-NtiTON. Aup 13.— The State De-
partment is in receipt of dispatches announcing
th^ openiui? of the sessions of the Fish-
eries Commission at Halifax. The British
case, the counter case of the United
States, and the British reply have been
duJy tiled, a^ the examination of wit-
ntjsses has commenced. The commission was
created bv article 22 of the Treaty of Washing-
ton, to dii'iJe whether auy and what compensa-
tion should b»» allowed Great Britain for the
alleged superiority in value of the advantages
conferred by the British concessions upon citi-
zens of the United States over the advantages
conferred by the United States concessions
upon the subjects of her Britannic Majesty by
the treaty of 1>>71-: and Tt seems to bo con-
ceded equally by the two Governments that the
award must be a unanimous ^ding of the
three Commissioners.
The case as made by Great Britain claims,
first, that the differences between the conces-
sions of the old convention of ISl?* and the
privileges uonferred by the treaty of lb71 are
the subjects of compensation ; second, that
these are the rii;ht to enter the great bays, like
those of Fundy and Chaleur, within the lines,
drawn, for the ptirpose of fishing, the right of
fishing within the three-mile limit from shore,
the use of the coast for the purpose of drying
apd curing fish, the privilege of trafl^c for
bait, sui)plies, ifcc, in the Dominion
nnd Newfoundland porta, and the right
of transshipment of fish from the same;
third, tiiat the mackerel fishery is of enormous
value, almost entirely confined within the three
mile liniit,and absolutely necessaiy to the Unit<-d
kjiates as a supply of food, and the largest ele-
ment of their fishing trade, and that, if retained
exclusively by British subjects, it would givea val-
uable monopoly and the couunand of the Ameri-
can market, even with a heav>' duty. Valuing
these claims according to certain British offi-
cial returns, and the testimony of the Dominion
and Newfoundland fishermen engaged in that
business, the British government demands
*14.:iMO.0OO for the 12 years' lease of the ad-
vantages which the treaty olfers to the citizens
of the United States, which estimate is the
allegt^d sur^flus value of the British concessions
over and above the advantages which are given
by the United States to the British Government
in opening the American inshore fisheries to
The subjects of her Britannic Majesty, and mak-
iuif fish and fish-oil free of duty.
The American counter case is : First, that
the difference between the treaties of IHIH and
1871 is neither in fact nor by diplomatic con-
struction the just measure of the relative ad-
vantages by either G6vemment under the
treaty of 1871. Second, that as to the advan-
tages', alleged by the British case to be the grant
of the treaty of l^^T 1. the right to enter within
the headlands of such bays as those of Fundy
and Chaleur was never surrendered by the
treatj- of Isl-S. was never claimed so as to be
practically iuforctd by the British Government,
and will always be maintained -by the United
i?tates (iovemment as an inalienable right ;
that the right of traffic for supplies and the
right of trausshiiiment were not conferred by
the treaty of l-s / 1. and are now only exercised
permissively and subject to revocation bythe le-
gislation of the Dominion, but that, even
if granted by the treaty of 1871, it is simply
a reciprocity- in trade which benefits both buyer
and seller, and cannot be supplemented by a
money equivalent on either side, and conso-
ijuenllv, that the value of the inshore fishery,
with the increased faciliti€js in the use of the
coasts for drying and curing, are the only sub-
jects of compensation to be considered. Third,
that the value of the mackerel fishery is largely
derived from their own shore fisheries and ^ the
deep sea fishing-, and that the proportion of
the mackerel catch derived from the inshore
fisl^eries oi»ened to citizens of the United States
by the treiity of 1)S71 is small ; that statistics
of trade.prove that the American market could
not be controlled by the British fisheries, even
without ctimpetition. Fourth, that the freedom
of the United States inshore fisheries, the use
of the Menhaden fishery, which furnishes the
necessary bait for the macUerel fishery, and
which is exclusively within American limits,
and the freedom of entry into American ports
of fish and flsh-oil, furnish ample and suffi-
cient equivalent for any and all advantages de-
rived from the treaty of lb71 by citizens of the
United States.
It is supposed that all the time allowed for
taking testimony will be fully occupied. Since
the opening of the session the Dominion press
seems to be a good deal excited over the p^p-
cee«lini'S, and the subject is attracting there a
general and; miurked interest. The proceedings
^^o far h»ve l>©en with closed doors, and, it is un-
derstood, will so continue; but it is believed that,
as all the formal papers are now filed,, the case
anil counter case will b© given to the public bv
Itolh Governments, so that the people may intel-
ligently understand the gnve questions and
birge inteiMsts at stalce.

STRINGENT MEASITRES ADOPTED TO PREVENT
ITS SPREAD — THE DISEASE ON THE IN-
CREASE IN LONDON.
Washington, Aug. 13. — Information has
been received from the Vice-ConsuI-General at
London that the Cattie Plague Committee of
the House of Commons have agreed in their re-
port to recommend :
J\'rrt— That all importations from Germany, Bus-
sia, and Beleitun shonld be/absolutely prohibited.
5econd— That cattle imported from all other coun-
tries should be killed at the place of landing.
rftird— That the stock in the Metropofitan markets
should not be removed except for slaoghter.
J'ourtA— That all movements of cattle in Infected
districts be prohibited; that fairs and markets bo
stopxied ; that infected farms be subjected to quaran-
tine.
JXftA— That hereafter the compensation for pleoro
pneumonia be the name as for the cattle plague.
Sixth — That all cattie aheds in towns be subjected
to registration and inspection.
K*>twith standing these stringent measores, the
tease is on the increase in London and environs.
_ _ infectious is the disease that it is dangerous for
cattle to pass infected districts or to breathe the air
" ay or straw from those districts, or to drink
wat^s^irom pools or fords where diseased cattle have
strayedx Sueep may convey by their wool the
disease, liad wool from foreign countries should b©
carefully kebt^^rom contact with anything likely to
carry the mseaSfex^hen imported from countries
where the disease exists. Hoofs, horns, &c., and
the clothing of men employed to slaughter diseased
cattle will also convey the infection. Too much
caution cannot be used to prevent the appearance of
the dreaded disease in the United States.

Special Itttpatch to the Tfeto-Tork Tlme$,
Portland, Me., Aur. 13. — The promise
of a lively time at the Maine Democratic State
Convention is excellent. The bones of conten-
tion are the liqnor license question and the can-
didate. J. C. Talbot. la.st year's candidate, is
at the Preljle House, button-holing delegates to-
night, wlio are present in large numbers,
and insi-sts that he is sure to capture the
convention, though many of the lead-
ers are against him, and there are
half a dozen candidates with claims. The ma-
jority of the State Committee are opposed to
bringing the Ucense question into the platform,
but if it is not the Bangor delegation declare
their intention to propose a plank from the
tluor, and to impel a discussion. This
troubles many, who are <oing about sayin:;
that a stand on the temperance questiuu
now will lose at least 20.000 votes to the
party. One thing is regarded as certain, the
PreMdent's Southern policy will be indorsed.
The intention of thLs action is to attract some
of the di.saffected voters, but in this
they will not succeed. A circular is already
out for a mass convention at Augusta, in Sep-
tember, of those Republicans supporting the
President and opposed to the further domina-
tion of Blaine, and as this convention will in-
dorse Connor the Republicans will be held to-
gether.

All articles marked with a star are on the free
list this year, though not last. It will be seen
that the tonnage going both East and West has
increased 122,321 tons during the month. For
the season the increase has been 166,035, upon
an aggregate for the same time of 1,703,835
last year. The decrease in tolls up to the end
of July was $236,810 49, upon ah aggregate
last year of $562,758 4.5, almost 50 per cent.
With the season nearly half over, it is easy to
he seen that with the present tonnage doubled,
the required ^?eceipt of $1,200 estimated to
meet the constitutional requirement, cannot be
reached. ^

SlpNS OP HER FATHER'S WILL — HOW
skE CAME TO BE REUARBIEB TO HER
ECSBAND.
Frvm Owr'Ocrk G>rTetponde«i,
E[LMIBA, N. Y., Monday, Ane. 13, 1877.
following strange story is told by two
principal actors in it, who have since
Wednesday last been visiting relatives in this
city, the occasion being their second bridiJ tour
together. Amzi S. Tiner, 10 years ago, at 23
years of age, was a miUer and a leading man in
one of the Pennsylvania counties bordering on
Maryland. Uri Gates, an elderly widower, was
a well-to-do country merchant of the same
community. His household consisted only
of himself and his daughter, Eliza,
aged 17 — a handsome and accomplished
young lady, as accomplishments go in quiet
rural "vicinages. Amzi Tiner had loved the
storekeeper's pretty daughter before she en-
tered her teens. Old Mr. Gates was pleased
with the prospect of his daughter becoming the
wife of the prosperous young miller, but she
was not. George Mills, a handsome, swarthy
young Virginian, a clerk in Gates' store, was
the suitor whom Miss Gates favored, and he
pressed it with no little warmth and audacity.
The father put a stop to the attentions of the
clerk, |faowever, and brought such influences to
bear oin the young and motherless girl that she
consented to marry the miller. They were mar-
ried in September, 1867, and were gone three
weeks on their bridal tour.
In the early part of October of the same year,
Mrs. Tiner went to visit a sick friend in a
neighboring, village. George Mills, the clerk in
Gates^ store, was missing from the village tlie
next day. Suspicion was not aroused, however,
that pis disappearance was in any way con-
nected with the departure of Mrs. Tiner until
the time set for her return had passed. Then it was
discovered that she had not been to see her sick
friend at all. She and Mills were traced
together as far as Wheeling, and there the trail
was lost. Not until a few weeks ago. was any-
thing ever heani of either of the runaways by
those; whom they have deserted. Old Mr.
Gates! assumed outwardly a most vindictive
spirit against his unfortunate daughter, but
when his will was read in 1S70. a few
days after his death, it was seen 'that
he still ba<l hope that she might be re-
claimed, and that he had pro\-ided for
such I an event He was worth $20,000,
and he left the amount to his son-in-law under
the following conditions : For two years after
the d^ath of the testator Tiner was to make fre-
quenlj efforts to find out whether the missing
wife and daughter was still alive. The sum of
$1,000 was set apart to bo expended in these
efforts. If she were found alive, and separate
from George Mills, in destitute or comfortable
circumstances, she was to be paid $700 in
weekly installments for one year by the Execu-
of the estate. \V'hence the money
she was not to know. If
the year was up she vol-
untarily returned to her native place
and humblv begged her husband to forgive her.
she Was to \ie fiimlsliwl with a suitable home
andbepaid$10 a week as long as she lived.
If, at I the end of the year, she had not thus re-
turned, these payments to her, as obliga-
tory upon the estate, mu.st forever cease ;
and if at the time tidings of her were received
she wjas living with George Mills, or was not
withqut other than female companionship, then,
whether she was destitute or not, the Executors
of the estate were forever forbidden to pay any-
thing_to her out of the estate. The Executors
werelMr. "Tiner and MjTon Pool, a relative of
the deceased.
Tiner carried out to the letter the provision
of the will calling for a two years' search for
his faithless wife, but all his efforts failed. In
1W72 he applied for and was granted a divorce
from her on the groxind of desertion. Remar-
ried again, and in l.S7.~> he was left a widower
with two children. About a mouth ago Myron
Pool, as Executor of Gates' estate, was handed a
letter by the village Postmaster, addres-sed to
the decea.sed, and post-marked LitchHeld,
Minn. It proved, to be a letter from the
long absent wife and daughter, Eliza. She
wanted, so she wrote, to return home and be
forgiven before she died. She had suffered
terribly for her wicked act of 10 years ago, but
she [said that she was not the abandoned
creature that she was no doubt believed to be.
She was willing to return and be nothing more
than a servant in her father's house if she could
be forgiven. Mr. Pool banded the letter to Mr.
Tiner without delay, and the latter gentle-
man declared his intention to start at
once for Litchfield. Mr. Pool ac<^m
panied him. They found Eliza working
as a seamstress in Litchfield, under her maiden
name. After the emotiims created by the ap-
pearance of her former husband ami the news
of her father's death had subsided, she related
her bitter exi>erience. her narrative was such
that the deeply-wronged husband felt that her
punishment had been ^«^ater than her -".ime.
Acting on this belief, lie was willing to lake
back azuin the wife of his youth, and they were
remarried in St. Paul, Slinn., on the 4th inst.
"The wife's story i>f her 10 years' stru^rgle
with the world after her unfortunate step 10
years before is substantially as follows : SJie
and Mills had arranged to elope only the daly
before they went away. She was to go to Indi-
ana, obtain a divorce, meet Mills wherever he
might be then, ranrry him, and follow his for-
tunes. At Wheeling he tried to induce her to
not wa.ste time in getting a divorce, but to go
with him at once. She refu.sed. HewenttoSt.
Louis and she started direct for Indiana. She
applit^d for a divorce at Lafayette, through a
lawyer named Bowditch. She hail not long
to 'wait for it. Mills wrote hur from
C'eutjral City, Col. Sho went to that
place at onco, met him, and they were
married by Kev. Mr. Whitehead, an Episcopal
minister. 'They remaine4l in Central Citj-. a
year, living coutontetily together. Mills pros])er-
in^; in supplying miners with .stores. Then h«
fell in with gnriiblers. and wasted all his gains
and llost his business. Ho began to trwit his
wife I with cruelty, and habitually taunted her
withi her elopement with him. IVom Central
City they removed to Corinne, Utah, and from
there to Salt Lake City. To this latter pliice she
at first refu-ied to go, but Mills threat-
ened to kill her unless she went along.
At Salt Lake, Mills and " Bill " Olncy opened a
gambling-house and house of prostitution. In
the latter Alills forced his wife to act as house-
keeppr. For two years they lived in Salt Lake,
the wife being subjected to habitual beatings
and other cruelty. At last Mills joined the Mor-
mons and gave uji his gambling place for a time.
He brought two other wives in the house within
three days. This was the indiguity of ail others
that jthe woman who ha<l given up all for Mills
could not brook, :ind she fled from his house
one night in the Fail of 1871. After
three months of hardship and peril she reached
Denver. .She was waitress in a dining-room
there for 18 months. While she w^ there
Mills was shot and killed by Olney, his partner,
in Salt Lake. Than she went as waiting-maid
to an English lady to New-Mexico, returning to_

At St. Louis she was attacked with fever. She
used up all her savings before she recovered.
Then she was offered the position of traveling
companion to an invalid lady, who, with her
husband, was on her way to Minnesota. She
accepted it, and was two years with
this lady, when the latter died near the head-
waters of the Mississippi. Again the wanderer
turned her face homeward. On her way from
Itasca Lake to Brainerd Junction she was
robbed by her half-breed guide of all her money,
and was compelled to walk 30 miles to reach
her ' destination. Since then she had been
earning a living with her needle, until the de-
sire ito near from her home and know that she
coxild return and be forgiven led her to put
aside her pride and shame and write the letter
which had brought 'about so unexpected and
happy a termination to her troubles.
On Saturday evening last Mr. and Mrs. Tiner
left [Elmira for Philadelphia, and by this time
are settled in the home so ruthlessly destroyed
10 years ago. They seemed as happy as if
nothing had ever occurred to disturb the even
tendr of their lives.

Well, then, of i. le $S 34 expenses for necessaries
of life, we find ; 12 charged for rent, or nearly one-
ole expenses. And this, be It re-
membered, is in N Bwark, and not in New- York where
In England the rent amounts to
rarely more than < ne-eightb of the amount of wages
family, earning 4tl per week pay
2 shillings 6 i>ei ee rent per week, and the general
3 shillings 6 pencf per week dwelling is largely used
by families eamin ; 30 shillings a week, and is, there-
fore, even still m( re favorable in proportion. I find
from official statis Jcs that a' four-roomed tenement
in New-Jersey wft , in 186061. in average. $4 67
per month. It ti lerefore follows that rents have
been infiated, an 1 this economical family of Mrs.
Forrest Is mulctec into an additional expense of 83
cents per week foi rent alone.
Now, the questi m arises, how is it that these rents
keep up in price a id are still some 70 to 80 per cent,
higher than they ^ rere in 1860-61. when real estate
ib everywhere so innch depressedT In the first place
it should be borne in mind that in 1870 the very ten-
ement that now r *nts for $8 per month was rented
for ^10 &nd $11, and rents have roaUy fallen some
'J5 or 30 per cvnt. from the highest point. Secondly,
the cost of buUdin z tenement -houses, independent of
the value of the laid, is enhanced in price by the higher
cost of building m iterial, und this is chargeable to the
tariff. The lumb it is taxed 20 per cent.; the bricks
are taxed 20 per c »nt.: rooftue tiles 20 per cent.; load,
about 45 per cent ; wiudow-giBss, about 50 per cent.;
paint, about 45 per cent.; iron used, about 35 to 40
per cent. In shori . everything that Is used in building
a house Is taxed, cot always for revenue, but for home
protection.
A second cause < >f high rents is to be found In lo-
cal taxation. If a hich tariff is a " goc." local taxa-
tion is his bother 'Magog." These two malformed
monsters are the jTeat cause of our national trouble.
Any how. as wages in 1860 were in many Instances
even higher than ion or at all events as high as at
E resent, a family off Mrs. Forrest's well-regulated
ousehold would omy have had to pay $1 17 per
week for rent ins ead of $2 ; as I said,' a saving of
83 cents.
The next art! 'le I find that requires attention is
31^ pounds of su^nr, which costs Mrs. Forrest 40
cents. Now. on t lis sugar there is a tax of about 1 1
cents. In l.HGO-C 1 the cost of good brown sugar was
8^ cents apoiand and 3^ pounds of sugar would
have coat Mrs; Forrest about 29 cents, and, be it
remembered, ' we had a duty of 24 per cent, on
sugar in 1860. And there can be no doubt that
with a judicious t iriff, which would remove prohibi-
tory duties on n tJiousand articles, the duty on sugar,
now in average 60 per cent., could be moaified to 30
per cent. Mrs. FcTTestnseit 14 cents worth of common
soap per wtickf- ai articleon which she pays a tax, not
toGovemment. but to home protection — some 40 per
cent. In fact, if the duty were removed or modified,
Mrs. Forrest ffoul I save 4 cents per week on the
soap. The salt, pepper, mustard, matches, starch,
and blueing, amounting to 11 cents per week, is fully
taxed 25 jkt cei t. and the beer, costing 37 cents, is
taxed about 12 cmts. I therefore find that the
taxes, owing to tie tariff and local taxation, amount
to as follows

THE XECESSltr OF DEFEATJyQ TAMMANT
MALL.
Fr&m the Xei'-Tork Staau Zeitung, Atuj. 13.
(After citing igam some of the reasons which
have induced it t< 1 point out the necessity of defeating
Tammany Hall a:, the next election, and after quot-
ing the WorUl'M criticism on that position, the Stoats
Zeituttg refers to Gov. RobinHtm's veto of the Omni-
bus bill for tl^ie r >ductiou of salaries and other ex-
penditures in' thh> Oty, and adds :]
In liis menijoruiidum against tho Finance bill the
Governor says : 'The reasons which caused me to
veto the Omiiibu i bill apply also lo this bill." His
other objections ;^;ain8t the Finance bill consisted of
vague pbrtuteij ; he did not even refer to the several
provisions of] the bill, and the unprejudiced reader
uf the memoi^dum is naturally led to the inference
that it was the wish and command of Tammany Hall
that prevented this bill from recet%'ingthe-Qovcrnur's
sigiiature.
The ttovemor declares plainly that he cannot sign
any bill dealiog witii New-York rity affairs which is
not stipjwirted by a majority of th*' representatives of
our l.Hty in the Lres^slaturc. iL is uit estnblislied fart
that thoKu members of the Asscuibly and
of the >^euate who owe their nomination and
election to Tammany Hall, will refuse their
vote^no matter what tht ir indtvidnal inclinations
and opinions may be— to any bill wJiichils intended
to hrii)g about retrenchment and ec^ouUmy, and to
grevent t(* large an increaio of the (..ity's debt ; and
cnce, our citizens cannot act otherwise but defeat
the Tamuiiiuy candidates, whoever they may be. in
case they expect that tht; Ciovemor shall sign bills
wliicli are intended to remove the evils under which
we are sufferine.
The IVorW has done Gov. Robinson a poor ser-
vice iu defending him without having previously pe-
rused his Veto Me.ssitge and memorandum. Other-
wise our contemporary would have x><^rceived that
our asKertlom iu supported by tlie Governor's own
declaration, and wouid have saved him from the un-
enviable position of coDflrmlug by his own words the
correctness of our assertioi».
Ffo7n l>er New-Tork Repiihlikaner of Sxnxday.
The Nkw-Yokk Times devoted a whole col-
umn the other day to the Germans In New- York
politics, and quoted some articles relative to that
subject from the Stoats Zeitung and the Kepublikaner.
The Times has always proved Itsell to be friendly
to the Germans when the influence of the Tipperary
r^imo in this Municijiality was to be destroyed, and
we refer to the noble bearing of The Tihks in the
Fall Campaign of 1871, wheu a German was at the
head of the Anti-Tammany ticket. No other Ameri-
can newspaper iu this country sways the same iuflu-
and potency 'that Tub New-York Tiueh exercises
upon the Kcpublican Party, and all German adopted
citizens, witliout distinction of party, may congrata-
ate themselves that they nave such an influential
and highly-esteemed advocate as The Times, which
is inclined to grant to the Germans, in acknowledg-
ment of th^ir integrity and Independent manhood,
a hearing as against Tammany, and its- Tipperary
henchmen. We recognize in this willingness of The
Times a guarantee for the possibility and probabil-
ity of a firm and compact '* anti-Kelly, anti-Tlp-
perary, anti-Tammany movement," and we are also
firmly convinced that the New- York Stoats Zeitttng,
which posM-sses such a gigantic influence with the
German public here, will heartily acquiesce with The
Times in its cosmopolitan, truly Catholic programme.
IHie question as to how the elements against the
shameless Tammany oligarchy may be united In this
City should] now form the chief theme of discussion
in all and every one of our German City papers, in
order that, at tne time of action, the different forces
may have become crystallized, and that an effective
camp^gn may at once be entered upon. We are
convinced that, tn all essentials, every element
could be nojited on a Municipal platform the comer-
stone of which shall be the equitable recognition of
the " German- Americans " as part and parcel of the
communityj as is so warmly uiged by The New-
YoBK Times. The harmonious co-operation of
native Amdricans and German-born citizens must
emancipate this City from the galling yoke of Hi-
bernian Democracy.

ARREST. "^
The Tillage of Englewood, N. J., was thrown
into great excitement on Sunday by the discovery
that a daring burglary had been committed at the
residence of Mr. Augustus Floyd, on Floyd-stfeet,
near Palisade-avenue. The house stands about an
eighth of a mile from the edge of the Palisades, in a
beautiful, but somewhat lonely loeaticfn, the houses
standing at considerable distance from each
other and being separated by thick groves.
Mr. Floyd left his house on Saturday for the Cats-
kills, where his family had been staying, and the
house was left in charse of Maria Stephens, the
eook, and George Merritt, the coachman. The only
story of any value is told by the cook, a very intelli-
gent young woman, who appears to have exercised a
good deal of courage and presence of mind. She
went to bed on Saturday night at about 9 o'clock,
her room being In the attic, and very near to that of
the ci>4chman. Her history of the night fb as follows :
" I aroused from adreaminwhichIthoaghttbehon.se
was being broken into. Myfirstthought wastocallfor
George, (the coachman,) and I sprang to the floor.
As I did so the door was burst open and a man entered.
I screamed * O George ! O God V loud enough to be
heard at a distance, and was Immediately thrown
back and a coverlet was thrown o;per my head. The
man told me to keep perfectly still and not attempt
to scream. He said that If I made any noise they
would ruin me and kill me, bu{ if I kept quiet
I would not be injured. I asked hiiy
who he was, and he said : '* We are robbers ; that Is
our business.' I begged them to take the coverlet
away from my mouth, and told them I would not
scream. They then removed it, and crossed my
hands in front of me. and began to tie them with a
cord. I complained that the cord hurt nie, and they
got a towel and tied my hands with that. They then
tied mv feet with towels and a sheet, and told
me it was necessary to tie my mouth. I begged
them to give me some water, or to let me get it,
and told them they could trust me, that I wouldn't
make any noise. They gave me some water, and then
tied my month with a handkerchief. I asked them
what time it was and how long they were going to
stay. One of the men that they called Captain said
it was 12 o'clock, and they were going to stay until
daylight and leave a man to watch me until 6
o'clock, and if I attempted to escape ■ he
would Idll me. Several times in the nieht
they came in to see if I was quiet. Once when they
came in one of them said he wished they had come
the night before to have got the $200 that Floyd
had there. I told him I wished they had come when
he was home. I heard them go into George's room
more than onee, but didn't hear any noise of scuf-
fling or fighting iu there- During the night I loosened
one of my liands, but slipped it iato the towel
again for fear they might see It. ' The men
didn't have any light iu the room, and I don t
know how mauy there were. 1 only saw two. About
daylight I heard the wagon drive off. but was afraid
to move, so I lay still until after sunrise. Then I
got up and dressed as quickly as I could. I went
past the room where George was. He lay on the
floor as though he was dead. I ran down to the din-
ing-room, and got out of the window and ran to Mr.
Congdon's house."
Mr. H. L. Congdon lives about one-eighth of a mile
from Mr. Floyd^ and is his brother in-law. Other
houses are nearer, but they are vacant for the .Sum-
mer. Mr. Congdon hurried to the house, and went
to the coachman's room. The cot in the room was
lyinc on the floor, badly broken, and oh the mat-
tress lay Merriit with a towel about his
mouth. His hands and feet were tied with small
netting twine, which was also passed around the mut-
tresB. The cords were single, and were not drawn
tight. Mr. Congdon cut the cords, and asked Merritt
why he did not get up. The man muttered, " I
don't know," and s^ter a moment he ruused up and
said. " \\1iv, they must have drugged me." Mr.
Congdon felt the man's pnl>e. and found it very rapid.
Merritt says that the men tied him, and told
him to keep still, and that he turned on his side
and went to sleep in about 15 minutes. He was
closely questioned, but notning further could be got
out of him. He sa>"s he was not threatened, and
don"t know whether the men were armed or had a
litcbt, or how many there were of them. He w«8 ar-
rested and locked up under the belief that he knew
more than he cared to tell.
Mr. Congdon notified Mr. William Jemeson. Chief
Marshal of the Euelewood Protective Society, {for-
merly Inspector of Police In this City,) and an
cxaniination of the premises was commenced. No
clue could be found as *o how an entrance to
the bouse was gained, and none of the windows
ur doors showed the lea.st signs of
having >-6 -n tampered with. Inside the house everj-
door had l)een opened and a thorough search made.
In a hall t>ed-rooni closet on the second floor the sil-
ver and other valuables had been placed. Ht-re idso
Were stored silver and other articles belonging to
Mr. Flovd's brotlier, J. G. Floyd. The door of this
clos»t fiad been wrenched open aiid emptied.
Aside from a large amount of silver, there
were in the closet two white lace shawls,
lac-e collar, cuffs, and handkerc-hief. a long .camel's
hair shawl, a gold wat<*h and chain, a watch with
green enamel case, set with diamonds, and a uumi^er
of valuable articles of jewelrj-. all of wldch were
takeu away. A silver sugar-bowl and two large sil-
ver goblets were left lying on the floor. A number
of articles of clothing were taken from
Mr. Hoyd's room. Among'them were the pan-
tal»>ons and vest of a dress suit. The coat
was left IWng on the bed. Tlie wine closet
had been oi>ened. and a con.Hiderabip quantitv of
home-made wine api>ears to have Iteen drunk. Two
bottles of hquor stood on the dining-room table,
but very little of the contents was missing. It did
not appear that anything had been brought by the
burglars with which to work. An axe Ijelonging to
Sir. Floyd had Iwen mied to force the door, and the
cord with whidi the cook and eoachman were tied
was also in the house. The burglars broke into the
stable, and stole n horse and phaeton buggy and an
extra set of harness.
At altout four o'clock yestenlay afternoon George
Riewnberg. constable of Union Township, drove up
to Mr. Flovd's house with the horse and bugg>'. He
told Mr. Flovd. who had returned home on nearing
of the l,urg1ary, that at ulMtnt 7 o'clock on Sun-
day morning he saw a llttlf Iwy with the horse and
buggy at Union Hill. The boy was cr^-lng, and said
that a man put him in the buggy at Hobokeu. and
told him to drive to Union Hill as fast as he could.
A somewhat remarkable fact is that the constatde
let the boy go witlnmt even asking his name. A man
named Chamberlain, who sells papers in Enplewooil,
was driving up the shore road nt about 5 o clock on
Sunday monting. and when about a mile below Weo-
hawken Ferry ' he met a man driving Mr. Floyd's
horse. The man seemed to be young, but Cham-
berlain could not describe him.
Merritt is locked up in the gaard-hon.se in charge
of the EnglewotKl Protective Society. The reporter
of "Thk T1MK.S endeavored to obtain an interview.
but it was not thought wise to trrant it. Finally, the
President of the society, Mr. Donald Msckay.
took the reporter out in front of the
cell, and called the prisoner. Merritt put his
face to the iron grating and looked out.
He is a slim, thin-faced, weak, and innoceut-iookinir
person, with black hair and a mild voice. He is 2.^
years old. but looks much younger. Mr. Mackay
said to the prisoner sharply : " I)o you recognize this
man t Is he one ^pf them ?" and as he spoke ho
seized the reporter and turned him toward the pris-
oner. Merritt answered: "No, Su-, I don't ; tlie
fact is, I couldn't recognize anybody." After the re-
porter left, Merritt asked another member
of the society who that young fellow
was, and wliether any one hail ever
seeu him before or knew his name, and
ndu.d; '■ I never saw lilm that I re(*ollo<Tt." It was
intended that the formal investigation should have
proceeded yesterday aftemiKm, but the Marshals.

it was adjourned until the latter part of the week-
The reuiiirk oy one of the burglars concerning

DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN.
STARTLING SCENE IN A DEATH-CHAMBER IN
AUGUSTA— A VISITING CX^EROTMAN SUD-
DENLY EXPIRES.
FrorA^thA Augusta (Go.) Chronid*, Aug. 11.
The whole coznmnnity was saddened yester-
day morning by the news of two deaths which oc-
curred in the same building, within a few minutes of
cachother. Oneof these deaths was that of Mr. Charles
H, Buckley, agent in this city of the Southern Ex-
press Company, and the other was that of Bev. W.
H. Clarke, Rector of St, Paul's Episcopal Church.
Mr. Buckler was ill for two weeks, with inflamma-
tion of the boweU. About 3 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing it became apparent to tftose around his bed-side
that he bad but a few minutes to live, and Mr. C. E.
Dodd, who was in the room, went at once for Rev.
W. H. Clarke to prav with the dyi^g man. Mr.
Clarke was in bed at his resideace, on Bay-street,
when Mr. Dodd rung the bell. Ho quickly responded,
and upon Mr. Dodd informinz him what his errand
was, said he would be ready In a few minutes. Mr.
Dodd hurried back to Mr. Buckley's, but was in-
formed that Mr. Buckley had died a few minutes before.
In a ver>' short time afterward Mr. <?larke arrived.
He read the prayers for the dead and prayed ex-
temporaneously, and then endeavored U' administer
consolation to the grief-strickeu widow of Mr. Buck-
ley, who was in the next room. As she was very
much exhausted, and it seemed probable that she
would faint, Mr. Clarke rubbed her forehead with
some bay rum, holding the bottle in one hand.
Afterward some coffee was brought in for her, and
Mr. Clarke took a saucer containing the beverage
and held it for het to drink. While" he was doing
this a lady in the room uoticed that the bottle uf
bay rum tell from his hand. She picked it up and
handed it back again, but in a few moments it fell
again. She then noticed that Mr. Clarke seemed to
be ill or faint, and at once made him sit down. She
spoke to him, but he made only some inarticulate re-
ply. Alarmed, she called several gentlemen in the
next room, and these at once came in and endeavoreil
to arouse him, but in vain. Then they carried him
out on the balcony, hoping that the ffosh air would
revive him. AVhen out on the balcony they bathed
his face with ice-water and pave him some to drink,
but all in vain. Three physicians who had been sum-
moned, soon arrived, but they were unable to do any-
thing. The patient was beyond humiin aid. He Un-
eered in a totally unconscious state until G o'clock A.
M., and then died. Soon after he was stricken, bis
daughter — his (mly child — ^was sent for and reached
him before he passt^d away. The cause of Mr.
Clarke's death was paralysis of the brain.

Chicago, Aug. 18. — The drought which
has bean threatening the corn crop in .sonic
parts of the We.st was broken yesterday and to-
day in many localities by copious rains. The
wheal crop is safe, but as regards tbo
com much will depend upon the weather for the
next two or three week.s. Kothinj; but exce.s-
sively dry weather or early frost can di'^appoint
the flattering prospect of a corn crop of unpre-
cedented projiortions.
PAXJC OX A COXET ISLAXD BOAT.
As the steamer Arrow:5mith, of the Locust
Grove and Coney Island Line, was going down the
Bay yesterday aftem''>on, the clothing of a young
lady passenger on the forward deck was discovered
to be on fire. A strong breeze fanned the flames, and
in an instant she seemed almost enveloped in a
blaze. The passengers in her immediate vicinity
promptly extfnguislied the flames by the applicatiou
of coats, shawls, and such articles of-<nat}iing as
could be readily -obtained, and the young lady was
tat:eu to a atate-ronin. where she wns attended by Dr.
Libenthal, of No. '.Wl East Tenth strt>et, and 1>t. L.
Jewell, of No. 3.57 West Fourtt*euth -street, who
were on board. Her name wa^ found to he Mif^s .■\nu
J. Tucker, aged 1 5 years, of No. 25ii Spring-street. She
,was quite severely burned, her lower limbs being
badly scorched and blistered their entire lenirth, so
that the «iuter skin peeled off in strips. Theofficers
of the boiil placed ail nossible conveniences at the
disTwsal of the phvsicians, and the votmc lady was
made as comfortable as circumstances woiUd permit.
The accident happened nearly opuosite Bay Ridge. ^
Pa.ssengers at a little distance from the yotmg i
woman, not knowing the nature of the accident, I
were at first much frightened. An alarm of fire was [
raised, and a general imsh was made for the stem of
the l»oat. the people in their frenzy running over
chairs and each otiier. Womon shrieked and some '
fanned and it was several minutes before ord»r
could be restored. As far as could be ascertained
none were seriously injured In the stampede. Trie
fire is supposed to have been caused by sparks from
a cicar. RA several persons were smoking on the I
crowded deck. The young lady was fortunately ac-
companied by her parents, who procured a convey-
ance and took her home when the boat reached
Twenty-second-street on the return trip.

The -week opened quietly on the Stock

weak and strong within a comparatively nar-
row range of fluctuations. The Western shares,
especially Michigan Central, Lake Shore, and
Sorth-westem, led the market in point of activ-
ity, the transactions in those three specijdties
amounting to nearly two-thirds of the entire
day's business. The majority of the railroad
shares in the early dealings re«orded slightly
higher figures than those current at the (dose on
Saturday, but later the improvement wa» lost
in most instances. The coal stocks declined at
the opening, bat subsequently recovered, al-
though at the close the Improvement was not
fully maintained. Speculation In the telegraph

"WAKDELIi DENOUNCES THE OUTBAQB,
Officer John Buckley, of the Sixteenth Pre-
cinct, brought Felia^ljCarUiy before Jnstice Wan-
dell yesterday, la Jefferson Horket Police Co«rt, on
two charges — one of disorderly eondnet and the
other of resisting arrest by fdlonlonsly attaetin^ the
officer with a h&tdiet. Backley alleged that a short
time after midni^t McCarthy was riotonsly singing
and ' ' carrying on " at No. 220 West Twenty-seventh-
Btreet, and when he went in to stop him McCarthy
woold not desist, and that when he then attempted to
arrest him the prisoner attacked him with a hatchet,
and cnt him on the head. Backley farther alleged
that he had to clah the prisoner severely to get him
to the station-honse. McCarthy presented the most
pitiable spectacle seen in court for a long time, his
head and face being covered with the most horrible
clab woiinds. Justice Wandell examined the
case thoroughly, and Backley was n|iable
to snbfttantiate his side of the case by any
testimony but that of one very drunken
witness, whom the Justice discredited entirely.
^Vhen McCarthy's side was presented, it appeared
that the officer was guUty of an oatraa;e. Three wit-
I testified that the prisoner was in his own
honso. enjoying himself with some friends, and was
not in any way disturbing the peace. The officer had
no reason to interfere, and had no' business to enter
the house at all. ^"hen he did go in, he was met in a
peareable way by McCarthy. Buckley ordered him
to shut up ms house and quit slngiijg. McCarthy
refused to do either, saying that he was
in his own house, and doing nothing wrong.
Buckley then told him tliat if- he did not do as he
wax ordered he would arrest him. McCarthy refused,
and Bupfcley then attempted to take the prisoner
along, and wa.s reflLatetl- The officer drew his club
and knocked McCarthy down and continneiVto club
lilm until he wv* senseless and almost dead. So
severe was the beating that McCarthy waS insensible
all the way to the station-house, and after his arrival
there great difficulty was found in restorine him.
Vpon being satiafled of these facts, Jnstice Wandell
immediately dL-nnissed Buckley's complaint and or-
der^ McCarthy to enter a complaint for aggravated
Rs.'wnlt against the officer. This was done, and the
policeman was put under $500 bail to appear at
rourt. The Justice was very severe on Buckley, and
prtmonnced his conduct a perfect outrage, ana said
that MfCarthy had been acting decently and as i\ny
citizen had a fight to do. and that it was the height
of Indolence for Backley to enter the houHO at all un-
der the circumstances. The case caused great excite-
ment in court.
DETECTIVE WOOLSETS MISTAKE.
THE PEISONEB BUCKINGHAM ' NOT CHAUNCET
JOHNSON — ^WHAT WARDEN QUINN SATS ON
C^ THE SUBJECT.
Detective Woolsey, of the Central Office, who
on Friday evening last arrested T. Bnckinghain, now
conilned in the Tombs for uttering a forged check
for $5,543 78 on the Bank of the State of New-
Vork, of this City, and afterward attempting to draw
$-l,S48 on the same, seems tobarre made a mistake
respecting the identity of his prisoner. The detect-
ive, after closely scrutinizing the man, gave it as his
opinion that the prisoner was none other than the noto-
rious sneakthief and bank burglar, Ch&uncey Johnson.
It is now said that Johnson does not resemble the
prisoner Buckingham In any respect. A Times re-
porter, yesterday afternoon, in conversation with
Warden Quinn, at his office lii the Tombs, was in-
formed that Buckingham was a much taller and
heavier man than Johnson, the former weighing about
1 60 pounds, the latter probably falling short of 1 S."*.
Johnsonis a very sharp-featured man. w^th eyesclosely
set. whereas Bockingham possesses a large open face,
with eyes .«et far apart. Johnson is at present a
gnest in Sing Sing Prison, at which place Warden
Ouinn .saw him about six months ag ->. The Warden
didn't know when Johnson's term would expire, but
he was at present confined for robbing a store in Pour-
ti'e nth -street, near "Dniversity-place. some year^ ago.
The Warden seemed to bo greatly aznused at I>etec-
tive Woolsey's discomfiture in thia-tnsTance, remark-
ing that he [the Warden) didn't know anything about
Buckingham having been identified at Johnson until
Monday morning. He was out of town on Sunday
and didn*t see the morning newsx>apen, but after
getting to his office on Monday he heard about the
matter, and immediately visited Buckingham in bis
cell. wheh to his complete surprise he
discovered^ that the man was not Cbaun-
cey Jnhn^n, whom he was reported to be.
One thing abont Johnson was that whatever he did
he did well, never allowing himself to fall back on
*■ r>utch courage"' for the xuccessful undertaking of
what he had on hand. When BWkingham went into
the Bank of the State of New-Vork on Friday last to
•lepOHit the check he was under the infinence of
lifiuor. This fact alone oucht to have made Woolsey
more cautious in axserting that the criminal waa
Johnson, as the latter would not be likely to have
acted in such a manner.
Grave doubts are now entertained at Police Head-
fiuarters as to the correctness of Woolsey's state-
ment, and several of his associates say emphat-
i<*allv that the officer is entirely mistaken.
Wo*»isey arrested Johnson some years ago. and says
that he is positive that Buckingham and Johnson are
one and the same person, and^hat Buckingham did
not deny it when in the 'Tombs on Saturday.
T)etertive8 Radford and Keirns, two of the oldest
detectives at the Central Office, are both positive
that Buckingham is not .lohnson, and that the latter
is at lea.st 20 years older in appearance than the
former. Tlie dispute as to the identity of the
iiri.^oner Buckingham waa brought to the notice of
. -ergt. Kealey, of the detective force, by Acting
Superintendent IMlks yesterday, and Sergt. Kealey
wrote to the Warden of Sing Sing Prison to ascer-
tain if C^auncey Johnson was still an inmate of that
institution. An answer to this eonununication will
doubtless be received to-day.
THE COFFER MARKET
THE CENTRAL AND ATLANTIC COMPANIES UN-
DERSELLING THEIR RIVALS — ACCUSA-
TIONS OP BAD PAITH ON BOTH SIDES.
A conapdcnons "flurry" has been caused In
the copper market recently hj the sudden action of
the Central and Atlantic Companies in selling a largo
portion of their stock at prices ranging from 19 to
1 S 39 cents per -^KJimd. The representatives of the
Calumet and Hecla combination, which mines two-
thirds of the total amount of copper produced In
the country, were taken entirely aback by this
Tnove on the p^ ^t their opponents, and
accusations of "^ad faith," "broken pledges,"
&C., hav« bees- flying about on all hands.
The Calumtet-Hecla mines $re owned chiefly by Bos-
ton capitalists, ^who have been trying for""j some
months past to keep the market up. in order that
they mijB^t be able to dispose of their heavy over-
plus at high prices. Up to July 1 a jceneral agree-
ment existed not to sell at a lower price than 19 L9
cents, which agreement the Centi^ and Atlantic
faithfoUy observed. At the expiration of that
I>eriod a further nnderstandlng was entered into
that the market should be kept up to I8I3 cents,
but the Central-Atfcjitic clique, finding, as they
claim, that the Boston people were secretly under- -
bidding them, determined to sell without further de-
lay, and haveyauring the last few days put upon the
market ovey 1,000. 000 pounds, at prices ranging
from 19 do*n to 18^ cents.
Jlr. .James M. ililla, of No. 25 Nassau-street, who
represents the Central-Atlantic party, stated the case
to a TiMEsVreporter yesterday as follows : *' We
would have ^en wUling to abide by the underrtand-
iiigof July last to keep the price up — although the
Calumet people, who are represented here byj^. S.
Simpkins and P. W. Heyne. had refused to give
their formal adherence to the agreement — if we had
not caught them trying-to push off their surplus on
our customers at prices as low as ISigc We could
not stand that, and those gentlemen failing
to give us goaranteee that they would st-and by the
1 S I3 cent basis, we determined to get the best price
we could for our own copper and let the Bostonlans
trtke care of themselves. We accordingly sold l.OOO.-
OtK) pounds at IS^B to 19 cents, wad I have
the contracts here to show for it. We did not sell it
because it was hypothecated, or because we needed
the money, but because we could no longer rely on
the Simpkins combination, and determined todispofte
of oar goo(ls at our own prices. The trouble Is that
these Boston people want everything: they
want us to refuse good offers m order to
liolster up their declining interests, and
to hold on to our copper in order that they
may get rid of their mor^aged overplus. Why. two
of their companies, the Osceola and the Fraz^din.
haveover 1.000,000 poundsapiecehypothecatedat 17
cents on the pound. We wrote to the Franklin and
offered to hold on if t*ey would make a guarantee
for the future, but they failed to. and we didn't pro-
pose to sacrifice our interests to theirs any longer. I
don't see any * bad faith ' in that, and I think our
friends In Boston will find some difficulty in per-
suading the public of iu eiiatence,"
On the other hand, the brokers representing the
Calumet and other companies say that the recent
wiles will only affect the market temporarily, and
that the price will touch 19 again within a week.
The cause of the whole trouble is the excess of pro-
duction over home consumption. The monthly
product is about 3.500,000 pounds, and the con-
sumption 2,.M)0,000 pounds, leaving an annual sur-
plus of 12.000,000 pounds for export. It Is the
disposition of this last and the anxiety of the com-
pnuies not to be caught in a falling market with large
fttocks which has lead to the "rings," "combina-
tions." and agreements which are only made to be
brok»*n. The price of the metal yesterday appeared
to be still downward ; one broker offered 100,000
puxmds as low as 18^ cents.
J. DESPERATE SCO CyDREL' ARRESTED.
JohD Connor, whose real name is said to be
Ward, and who id reported to have been dlacharged
from the Police force of the First Prednct six years
ago, was arraigned in Jefferson Market Police Cotirt,
yesterday afternoon, on three serious charges. The
first was preferred by Peter Eagan. proprietor of a
saloon at No. 534 Eleventh- avenue. yesterday
mnming Connor went Into the saloon and ordered
some drinks. They were refused, because he already
owed 90 cents, which he woiild not pay. Thereupon
' bo pmled otii a knife axtd attaoked £s^an, thre*t«a-
I log to tkke hi* lit e. HewM pnt out o£ Uie Mk>oa
before he had exeeoted hSs threat- Qolng m the
street, be met a poor old match-peddler, named Gns*
tav Young, of No. 442 West Forty-fizst'ttreet, from
whom he took three boxes of matoies and refosed to
nay for them. He then beat the old man in a Tofflan-
ly manner. Officer Delaney and Botxndaman MeCarty
Btopx>ed his amtisement and took him into eastod3^
after a desperate resiatance. Eagan, Young, and
Officer Delaney appeared against Connor in eoart,
and Justice Wandell committed hlp^ for trial in dc'
fault of $1,500 bail
RIFLE MATTERS OF INTEREST.
CARBINE PRACTICE AT CREEDUOOR — THE IN-
TERNATIONAL RIFLE MATCH.
The several cavalry organizations attached to
the First Division were sent to Creedmoor for rifle
practice by Major-Gen. ' Shaler yesterday. There
were 252 men present, all told, who were distributed
as follows: Third Regiment, 212 men. Col. J. H.
Budke commanding ; Separate Troop, 12 men,
Lieut. Miller commanding, and Washington Grey
Troop, 26 men, under command of Capt.
Baker. The troops weat to the nmge by the 9:03
train from Hunter's Point, and commeneea shooting
shortly before 11 o'clock. The ranges covered were
100, 150, 250, and 300 yards distance ; five shoto
per man at each range. CoL Bndke, by right of
seniority of rank, commanded the several detach-
ments. There waa a guard at the m^n entrance to
the field, but beyond that no restrictions
were placed over the men, and while the
Separate Troop and Washington Grey Troop re-
mained at their posts, the members of the Third
Cavalry roamed around at will, and even went out-
side the grounds to a neighboring form-house without
molestation from their superior officers. During the
noon recess one of a party from the latter regiment,
outside the fence, dlspnarged his il^rbine at nothing
in particular, regardless of the possible consequences.
The attention of Col. Bn<iU:e was called to
the cIrcumstRnce by the reporter, but of course the
culprit could not be found, so- ready were hit com-
rad^^to shield him. The weather was moderately
waSn and the sky was overcast with clouds, so that
the ^en did nut suffer from the heat, and no
flagrant eases of drunkenness occurred. The
number who qnalified at 100 and 150
yards to shoot at the longer ranges was as
follows: Third Regiment, 135; Separate Troop.
10, and Washington Grey Troop, 21. The shooting
wa.^ uud(»r the super\'ision of LIent.-Col. E. H. San-
ford, Division Inspector of Rifle Practice, assl.nted by
Capt. Vehsloge, of the Third Regiment While the
men were practielngat the 300 ya:nis range a thunder-
storm passed over the grounds, but the marksmen
kept on shooting until they were thoroughly wet,
when they gave up and sought shelter under the re-
freshment stands. The Washington Grey Troop fin-
ished its score, but the others were Incomplete. The
record of the Wa«hIngton Grey Troop at 250 and
300 yards was as follows :
WathiTigUyn Grq/ TVwp.— Llent. Decker, 42; Capt
Baker. 41 : Sergt. WiUon. 38: Corp. Holston, 3,'>; SergL

Private B*yile, 31:. Privnte M.-Padden. 2?*; Private Mer-

During the practice C"l. Sanford discovered a man
named A- Small, of Company C, Forty-seventh Regi-
ment, shootinc in the uniform of a. member of the
Third Cavalry. It wh.s found that he waa at'tlng as a
substitute for Jacob Geitz, of Troop K. The record
of Small's shooting was erased, and Geitz will be
court-martiftled. The troops straggled up t'> the de-
pot after the practice, Col. Budke brliiglug up the
rear.
Capt. Louis (remer ana 12 members of the Fifth

MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
THE XATIOXAL RIFLE ASSOCIATIOX.
The Exectitive Committee of the National
Rifle Association held a meeting yesterday afternoon.
Judge Stanton, the President, in the chair. Other
members present were Gen. Wylie. Gen. Dakin. Col.
Wingato, and Major Pulton. A letter from Sir Henry
Halford. Captain of the British Team, asking for
special Custom-honse privileges, and an extraamount
of time for practice by his team, was read and re-
ferred to the President, for the purpose of carry-
ing out the plan proposed. The new regulation al-
lowing soldiers to uj*e tiled sights, which has long
been under consideration, waa adopted. The pro-
gramme for the Fall prize meeting at Creedmoor was
under discussion for some time, and was ultimately
referred to a special committee consisting of Messrs.
Stanton, Woodward, and Wylie for final arrange-
ment. A letter was recfived from Mr. R. Benton.
Secretary of the Scottish Rifle Association dated
Glasgow, July 2S. protesting against permitting a
British team to shoot for the Centennial trophy.
The following extract comprises the substance of the
communication : — '
" After the full dtsraiiRlon. both prior to the match last

a so-called British team, and purpo«a comiKitluK thtM

THE ANNUAL BAyRERS' CONVENTION
ITS PROPOSED ACTION — RESTRICTING THE
POWER TO ISSUE ML'NICIPAL BONDS —
THE TAXATION OP BANKS,
Yesterday Mr. James Bnell, the President of
the Importers' and Traders' Bank, and Secretary of
the Bankers' Association, Usued a call for the annual
convention which is to be held In this City in Sep-
tember next. There are G,300 banks represented In
the association, and a very determined and united
effort will be made to remove the unfair taxation on
banks. The following Is the call :
The Aji£ricak Baxkebs' Associatioic.
No. 247 Bhoadwat,
New-Tokk. Aug. 11. 187:
DsAB Sm : Ton are respectfully In^nted to att«nd the
annual convention of our asatxdation, to be held In
this City on the l-2th, i:^th tun! J4th of Ijeptember next.
The objects of the conveutioii are of such vital Importanc*;
that every Individual connected with the banking bnni-
nesR, either aa nn officer, a shareholder, a dlrect<)r or a
dealer, is personallv Interested; antjl it Is desirable that a
Inrfce delegation should attend from oil parts of fhe
Vnlted States. Tlie time ha.-* arrived whfjn our bonks and
bankers moHt recojciilw.- tile nei-etislty of aicttnfl: together,
an<j of cultivatlnc a doner nnion for great common ob-
iCcta, condncive alike to the recuperation of bas'.ness. the
improvement of public and pri^'ate en 'lit, and the eeneral
prosperity of the ooantry. We Intend to send you, In a
few days, a copy of the a<idresses and proceedings of the
del^atlon from this asJUM^Iation before the Committee
of Woya and Means at VTiiBldnitton, l^-*t February. The
irahlocts of this report un- of such magnltndo In relation
to the flnanclal and Indnatrial. thu agricultaral anrl man-
ufacturing inter'-sts of the countrj', that a conspicuous
pl«ce will, no doubt, be given to them In tho programme
of our annual convention.
You wtU receive further Information as to the topics
and speakers when our Committee of Arraiig'menta
have perfo-ted their plans. Never has there been a
period In ti:o liflcal history of this country, when, on since
tho war. the bankabave been nin^Ied out for heavy, dliutv
troui*. and dlscrlmlnatlnK taxation. In IHtJA, wbt.n tlio
corTespondinK war tujteu on other iutereatM were re-
moved^ the war taxet of the banks ought also to Itave
been taken off. "We arft informed by Congreaamen of In-
fluence that if we had Joined the other (iufTering Inter-
ests in appealinjc to Congress, we should undoubtedly
have obtained relief. We nt^elect^d to do «o ; and the
conseqntn ^.-e U that the taxes or the Federal fJovemmont
upon the l>ank8. and throuRh them upon thebuRlnes!)
commnnity, are almost the only aurvivlnx relloi of those
Kp^t-ial taxes which it wad denigned to sweep away at the
cIcBS of the war.
Besides this vital question of tax repeal, which ts so
necessary for the prosperity of buainess, and for the very
existence of our banks In many p&rta of the country,
there are other practical subjects which wHl, of course,
cloint the attention of the convention. Prominent
among tbefie ift tb« tmre«trict©d power to Uaue munici-
pal, county, and other t>ondi«. by wnich heavy bnrdens of
taxation arp being folHted upon the people. Those bnr-
densarenowHo galling as to be a frequent menace to
our pnbHc credit at home and abrond. Unlew some Judi-
cious restrintions can be devlsetl te stop these reckless Is-
sues of bonds, the outcry In favor of repudiation will be
oftener heard In the fntnre ; although It is evident to any
rertecting citizen that the L'suers of snch bonJs are tho
men who ehould be punished, and not the honest holder*
who have given their mf mey In good faith for them.
In introauclng the various discuflslons during our three
days' aessiouR, addrcuses will probably be given by em-
inent men on the remonetization of silver, on the re-
sumption of specie paymeuta. and on the union of the
banks for the refrnidlng of thp debt, as well an on other
Bubjects Ulustrstluji the powerful infldence of thf bank-
ing system upon public and private credit, and the Unan-
ciai evils which, by Injuring our banking efBcioncy. In-
tllct a corresponding harm upon all Idnaa of trade and
industry.
We shall be glad to hear from you on any of the fore-
going topics at your earliest convenience. The presenT
circmar is chiefly intended as a preliminary annoimoe-
ment of matters upon which we wish to consult you.
Yours truly, JAMES BCELL, Secretary.
In conversation with a Timss reporter yesterday
Mr. Bnell said that one of the greatest evils affecting
the financial interests of the country now was the
unlimited and unrestricted issue of uiunicipal bonds.
Everv little town was now engaging in the business,
and Uiey were aided by brokers and others in putting
them upon the market, and thus increasing the bur-
den of taxpayers.
THE TELEGRAPH COMBINATION.
The committees of the Western Union and
Atlantic and Pacllic Telegraph Companies meet to
dHy to frame a plan for harmonlziag the interests of
the two corporations. All sorts of ntmors were In
circulation yesterday as to their probable acUon^
but so far nothing definite has transpired. Inquiry
at the of&ces of the leading members of the eommit-
tees failed to elicit anything new. and it Is not likely
that the result of their deliberations will be mode
public until it has been officially submitted to the
companies. Among thoee best informed, however,
the opinion is prevalent that the SO per cent, basts,
mentioned in The Times of Satturtiay last, will be
adopted. By this arrangement the eamtngi of the
companies are to be pooled, SO per cent, togo to tiia
Western Union and 20 to the Atlantia and *^ "
THE HEALTH DEPlRTMEFr.
ITS EXTRAVAGANT MANAGEdiENT.
A BBPORT or THE COMKISSIONERS OP AC-
COUNTS 8trPFB£8SED — NO TRACK OP XT
IN THE MAYOR'S OFPIOE— THE PAT-BOLI*
OP THE DEPABTMINT— COMPLAINTS OF
PETTY ANNOYANCES ON THE PART OF
OPPiCIALS.
About two years ago the Commissioners of
Accounts went on a tour through the various depart-
ments of this City, for the purpose of maldng a rigid
examination of their books. This important duty
is Imposed upon them by the charter of 1873, under
which their office was created. Before they had set
abont performing their task there were many reports
afloat respecting the reputed rottenness of various
Municipal bnreatis, and It was openly hinted that if
they were properly Investigated the labor would be
rewarded by very dam(^:ing exposures, that would
probably subject the offending officials to removal.
In the course of their duty the Commissioners of Ac-
counts turned their eyes to the Department of
Health. They called one morning at the office of the
board, and, assisted by several experts, made an
examination of their books. They were oecuiped
a oomparatlvely long time In making the in-
vestigation, because it was nenessarr for them to ob-
tain information from the officials as well as from
their ledgers. The Commissioners subsequently made
a voluminous report_of their labors — one that is said
to have been very damaging to the Board of Health.
They presented the report to ex-Mayor Wlckham,
who was then In office, and he in turn simply ad-
dressed a copy of it to the Health Department. Some
time aftenrard the latter forwarded to Mr. Wlckham
an answer to the report, but it appears that-neither ^
tho report nor the answer is now to be found in the
Mayor's office. Applications weranihade to copv
them about a week ago, but after an exhaustive searcif
they could not be found. Mayor Wiekham
took no further action In the matter, and
the report and reply to It are shrouded
in mystery so far as the public are con-
cerned. It was afterward said tlmt the Commis-
sioners of Aocotmts had charged the Health Depart-
ment with using for its m.ilntenanbe certain moneys
th.it should; as claimed, have bi>en deposited in the
City Treasury. . Whetlier this be true or not. their
answer, as previously stated, appears, like the report,
to have been suppressed.
But apart from thU charge, the Health Department,
as it exists to-day, seem^ to be a heavy and tinneces-
snry burden upon the tax-payers. Its force could be
reducotl one-half or two-thirds without affecting the
efficiency to which it lays claim. When Tweed ruled
the Citv. In ono of the dark years of corruption,
1870. tJie amount allowtnl for the maintenan*'e of
the Health Department wiis.$107.(M>0. and even that
WAS an extravagant sum. But the appropria-
tion to the same department for tho present year is
$'JOl.S72. This comparatively enormous amount is
eaten up by salaries, paid, among others, to a little
array of men who rau be justly called snpemtuner-
aries. Prof. Chandler, the head of the department,
in making up his estimates for 1^*77. seems to have
been unable to clve some members of his immense
force a distinct designation. He has no fewer than
00 men on his pay-roll, including 18 clerks, 20 sani-
tary inspectors, and helpers, laborers, registers, and
members of the di.Hln felting corps. They are sup-
posed to be employed throughout tho year. althnu<;h
during three or four months of it, when the weather
is extremely cold, the services of one-half of them,
especially thone of the disinfectlne corps, could be
dispensed with. No idea of the larce force of the
Board of Health can be realized unless the following

TfVO DEPARTMENTS IN CONFLICT
THK 8TREET-CLEANINO BUEKAtT BEPUSES TO
BEHOVE BOTTBK PEUIT AIO) VEGETABLES
PROM THE CITY.
A misunderstanding was developQd yesterday
between the officials of the Street-cleaning Bureau
and those of the Health Department, growing out
of the refusal of the former to receive and dispose of
the unripe, rotten, and unwholesome fruit and vege*
tables condemned by the latter. Heretofore qtunti-
ties of fruit and v^etables condemned as unfit for
food, by the fruit Inspectors acting imder the au-
thority of the Board of Healtii, have been received
at the various dumping wharves under the control of
the Street-cleaning Bureati. and removed with the
ashes and garbage collected by that bttreau. Yester-
day Dr. Day. Sanitary Superintendent, was notified
by Capt. Gunner, of the Street-cleaninjf Bureau, that
no more of the condemned stuff would be received.
Capt. Gunner stated that he was acting imder In-
structions from Commissioner Nichols, and the reason
given waa that the Police Department had no place
to deposit this refuse matter. It was debarred by an
injunction from dumping In the waters of the oay,
and the proprietor of the irrounda at Newtown
Creek, where they were at present dumping the
ashes and street sweepings collected in the City, re
fused to permit the rotten fruits and vegetables to
be dumped on his lot. Furthermore. the
Police officials claim that they are not
required by law to remove the stuff condemned by
the Sanitary Inspectors, as it is neither garbage,
ashes, nor street sweepines. Dr. Day contended,
however, that the Police Department is charged by
law with the removal of all refuse matter from the
City, and that rotten fruits and veget-ibles come
under that classification. Tlie Board of Health have
no facilities for removing tlie largo quantities of nn.
ripe and nnwholesome fruit which are being rbn-
stantly condemned bv the corps of fruit iuHpectors.
The controversv will doubtless be settled at the
meeting of the Board of Health to-day.

Amoni? these men nearly the whole of the appro
priation of $201,872 is divided. But even this sum
IS not all that is allowed to the Health Department.
Occasionally Prof. Chandler, who keeps a sharp eye
on unexpended balances, appears before the Board of
Apoortionment, and eagerly begs to have them trans-
ferred to his department. Only a few weeks ago he
succeeded In having a resolution passed by the board
turning over to him balances amounting to S5,000,
to furnish medical attendance to the sick poor
in tenement- houses — a worthy object, but one
which could be ftccomplisbed by cutting _ down
his present force, and applying the amounts thus
saved to the object named.
Shortly before Prof. Chandler's reappointment, in
May last, doubts were expressed In the Board of Al-
dermen as to whether he was a Republican or a
Democrat. His name had been sent in by Mayor Ely
for confirmation. The Democratic City Fathers — all
but one — believed that he was a Republican, and they
were disposed to exercise their power by rejecting
him. The President of the board, Mr. Henry D.
Purroy, however, assured his associates that Mr.
Chandler waa a genuine Democrat. Another Alder-
man disputed the fact, and Mr. Purroy then set all
doubts at rest by stating: "I know ftof. Chandler
to be a good Democrat, and I know that he has
acted with the Democratic Party in this City."
After this little speeeh Mr. Chandler was confirmed-
Whether Mr. Chandler be a Republican or a Demo-
crat, his department is marked by obvious extrav-
agance, and If common rumor speaks truly it has
been made an instrument of petty annoyances to a
number of property owners in this City, who have
been m^cted by it In fines for small or nominal of-
feiLses against its code.
THE EXCISE TROUBLES.
The aspect of affairs in connection "with the
excise muddle remained unchanged yesterday. The
exffltement among the liquor-dealers has almost dis-
appeared. At the offices of ths £xeise Department,
79 applications for licenses, accompanied by 9^500,
were received during the day. A largo number
of applicants who were given receipts last
weeic were also in attendance, filing the necessary
bonds. Owing to the absence of Commissioner Pat.
teison, rendered necessary by sickness In his fsmilv,
the board did nOt hold a session, and consequently
no licenses were granted- To-day tho Commissioners
hope to be enabled to dispose of some of the accu-
mulated applications for ale and beer licenses, of
which there axe filed about 1.500. The Commisdon-
ers yesterday deposited ^I00,000,recelved as fees for
licences with the City Chamberlain. At Essex Mar-
ket Police Court yesterday Justice KUbreth held the
following deMnquent liquor-dealerB In 9IOO bail :

A LEGAL VICTORY FOR THE OLD BOARD —
THE DEMOCRATIC HEADS OP DEPART-
MENTS TO SHOW BY WHAT WARRANT
THEY HOLD OFFICE.
Last Spring the offices of several Republi-
cans In Jersey City, those of members of the Boards
of Public Works, Kre, and Police, were "seized " by
the Democrats under cover of a 8j>ecial legislative
act, and have been held in spito of all the protest-.
tlons of the Republicans up to this time. The Demo-
crats have persisted In maintaining thoir imsition, un-
der the advice of the Corjwration Ojuusel, and the
Republicans have, by William A. Lewis, thair counsel,
kept their eyes wide ojien for a clmnce to recover
their lost E-'*ound. There had been little bop.- among
the lU-publ loans of late thnl the matter could Ijo
brounht t<i cctnrt bufore the November election, and
the Democrats were eouddent that they could thus
postimne a decision, and ihoy have actively striven to
make tliLs the case. The Democrats were 8urpri.se<l
when, in June. Mr. Lewis obtained an order to show
cause why information should not be filed nnd
procens issue against the defendants. This was filed
in July, and now the first \-ictory bus l>een followi-d
up by another. T.4tst Friday orders were pro-
cured from the Supreme Court of New-Jersey.
These orders based on the information filed against
Matthew Monks. David C. Jovce. Nathan R. Fowler,
Anton Schick, .John Q. Bird, and James T. Hough re-
cite that they have for months past unlawfully held
the offices of Police Commissioners, and order that
they plead and demur to the Information held in the
cause within 20 daj-s after the ser\'ice of the or-
deni, were that they take short notice of triaL Siml-
lar orders were served upon the members of the
CITY MD SUBURBAI NEWS.
BoMTlBofPabllc Works and Fire, Mid it Li expected . The Pulice were informed yesterday that
that tho matter will come up. as appointed, early
in September. The celerity of Mr. Lewis, counsel
for the Republicans, is highly commended among hl.s
clients, who had scHrcely looked for a further con-
test before November. The effort on the part of the
old Commissioners to file information against their
adversaries was resisted by the Democrats, their
counsel, Mr. Leon Abbett. asking the court to refuse
the old Commissioners tliis request.
THE BAVARIANS OF BROOKLYN.
THEm SECOND ANNUAL FESTIVAL IS" THE
MYRTLE-AVENUE PARK— MARCHING, MI'-
BIC, MERRIMENT, AND BEER.
The SI CO id annual festival of the Bavarians
In Brooklyn, under the management of the Bava-
rian Society of the Etistem District, began yes-
terday, and will be continued during to-day and to-
morrow. The place of the festival Is Sfjrtle-Ave-
nue Park, Brooklyn, E. D. Yesterday, however, the
festivities were not confined to the sports in the
park. They began at an early hour in the morning
in the heart of Williamsburg, and. with music and
shouting, were carried through many .Greets, to the
admiration of the wondering inhabitants. The
Bavarian Stjciety, of which Mr. John Leonard
is the President, met at 9 o'clock yester-
day morning, together with representatives
of other (ierman societies, in Military Hall,
on tho comer of Scholes and Leonard 'strfets.
At O:!.*! o'clock the trumpet sounded, and the Mar-
shals began to form the line of the procession. A
few minutes later the band began to play, and the
horses to canter, and the procession, headed by Mar-
shal Unnck. resplendent in russet and green, and
followed by his fimr adjutants, moved gaily onward.
Following the Marshal and his aids came' the band.
Its members attired in the blue uniforms and helmets
nf the Bavarian infantrj' : and then followed a most
royal representative of tho musical monarch. King
Ludwig. attended by other notable person-
ages whom Bavarians hold in esteem. Cava-
liers In green and .scarlet, and others
with mighty breast-plates and cluiiu armor.
preceded a triumphal car, on which sat Bavaria on a
pedcKtal, surrounded by dam.'^els as young and buxom
as she was herself. The car was decorated with tlags,
and bore the ^-old and black arms of Havaria. It was
"followed by a similar car bearing Gormania, who. to
vary the monotony, sat npon a rock iiistead of a ped-

rian Benevolent Society of Brooklyn trudged along
on foot after Germnnia, and the committee having
the festival in charge lollowed, with iri-color sashes
and cllt fringe. Then tho roar of the pro-
cession was brought up by a remarkable
series tif tableaux on wheels. perhaps
the very first one beinc the most unique and elabo-
rate. This was the car of Flora, who, in Bavaria, is
eWdently tlie (roddess of Souash. for the wncon In
which she rode was plentifully decorated with tlmt
edible veeetnl-le. to say nothing of egfl;-plant.'* and
onions. The (»em of tho Urean. with the ine\itablo

alike the thermometer and tlie alraauac, and
wore fur and carried a Christmas-tree ; a school
scene : a Bht»emakpr's shop, and a group
of Tyrolean singers ended the pageant.
When the procession arrived at the Myrtle-Avenue
Park the authority of the MamhaU di-Kappeare*!. and
beer keg after beer keg was rolled from a cold recep-
tacle to a suitable place for tapping, and the Bava-
rians cried " Hoch ! * and proceeded to drink and to
eat. The Gi)ddeas of Liberty tucked her robes about
her, and, with a sandwich in one band and a glass of
beer in the other, acted like a very ordinary and very
comfortable mortal, and B.ivaria and Europa and aU
their attendant damsels did likewise.
Early in the afternoon crowds of visitors. Includ-
ing many young women in clean white frocks, ar-
rived at the park, and the place became more lively.
The rain which beean at ab<mt 4 o'clock affected
somewhat the order of the exercises, but not at nil
the ardor of the Bavarians. There were places with

and the comic pantomlmee ; and there was a largo
platform where there was dancing.
This afternoon there will be acrobatic feats and
sack race?, and buck springs — whatever they are —

TUB GUNSER MURDER.
Jacob Eisle, awaiting examination on the
charge of murdering John Guuser at East Williams-
burg, after making his escape from Justice Marshall's
Court-room at Newtown on Saturday, the 4th inst.,
as alleged, had his shoes mended by a cobbler near
Middle Village, and remarked that he hoped they
would hold out, as he had a long way to travel.
When arrested he said to his wife. '"It is all up
now; they will hang me," and frequently since his
imprisonment in the County Jail he has asked the
keepers, "If they hang me will "the town take
care of my wife ?"' District Attorney I>owning- re-
gards it as a strong point against Eisle that when in-
formed of the murder he went to Gunser's saloon,
and, without being interrogated, said, " I did not kill
him, so help me God I" The officers who were en-
gaged in working up the ease, in common with oth-
ers, still beliovo that Mrs. Gunser. if she did not
kill her Uusljand, knows who did. The tbeorv
of the officers is that the couple hail
a bitter quarrel in relation to Schmidt's
alleged improper intimacy with Mrs. Gunser ; that
Gunser, becoming exasperated, seized the gun and
struck his wife with the butt over the head ; that she
received the injuries on her arm in warding off his
blows ; that she finally backed awunst the window,
which was smashed by a blow aimed at her, which
blow also broke the stock from the gun-barrel : that
Gunser then dropped the barrel, which was picked
up by Mrs. Gunser^ who struck the fatal blow with
it : that she mighjmave had help at the last of the
m^le^, but she certainly had aid in removing the
Iwdy to the b«»d. whttre it was found after the uarm
wa** given, aud that the gun-barrel was subsequently
taken away and concealed by Mrs. Gunser's accom-
plice. The'dcteclive.s say that tho correctness of the
supposition that tho window was smashed by the
gun-stock is proved by the fact that there is an in-
dentation in the woodwork corrcspomling to the
shape of any ordinary stcick : and it is ridiculous to
suppose that the murderer would jump through a
closed window to escape, an-i thus run the ri.sk of
cutttnc himself badly, when there was an unlocked
door close at hand, only held shut by a chair braced
against il. Should there be found probable cause
for holding Eisle. however, this theory will doubtless
be regard«i as of little weight.
THE LOCKWOOD ESTATE.
George Lockwood. of New-Rocheile. died in
1 S70. leaving a widow and several children, and also
leaving an estate valued at $200,000, mostly real
estate. By a former marriage he had several chil-
dren, among them a daughter, afterward ilrs. Fow-
ler, who was the wife of a practicing lawj-er in this
City. In Septeml>er. 1B76. the Administratrix filed
auaecount of her proceedings, haying notified all
persons interested to l»e represented at the account-
ing. Mrs. Fowler appeared and filed objections,
alleging that several (Tovemment lionds ana a
pair of ponies and carriages had irot been
inventoritML She also li^ed her objection
to varioiis Items, csreedine in amount $2.00O.
chiefly those expended in legal disbursements, aud
with which the Admini'^tratris had credited herself.
Mrs. Fowler also took exceptions to an item of
■iin.iXK/indtoasumDf $-1,003 111. which the Ad-
minibtratrix claimwl as having been paid her as her
di-*i ributive share. Mrs. Fowler charging that she had
never received such sums and had no claim thereto.
The last, and perhaps the weakest, objection made
by Mrs. Fowler was to an item of $215 charged for
clerical services in writing up the accounts. l>urro-
gate Coffin yesterday set aside all the objections
raised by Mre. Fowler excepting the charge of $213
for clerical work. The latter sum, however, was not
allowed by the Surrogate.

A NEW CONEY ISLAND BOAT.
Possibly the new steam-boat Rosedalo, which
has been recently started on the Coney Island Une, Is
for her size the handsomest, most commodious, and
expe<Utioas excursion boat on the Bay. She is per.
feetly beaadful as to her lines, and her accommoda-
tions are of the most ample and satisfactory charac*
-¥k'«X:r" 'r."r "^tri'V- *r.'TTZ ™«« .w^vtuiLTM uu t«r. The Boaedale Is owned by Mr. Alexander U

ning a week last Sunday, and as yet incomplete as td
some of her furnifihings, she is already oagerlv sought
after by the most experienced exrursioni'-ii. Sha

ceptaon of an oak kelson, is constructed altogether oj
red and white cedar. Her length over all is 22i»
feet ; her breadth of beam 34 feet, and her breath over
the gtmrd 60 feel. She is 93^( tons burden, and ha«
ample accommodations for 1,500 pasMrngers. but if
there were need could carry many more. She baq
one condensing engine, two boilers, a cj-linder 50
Inches In diameter^ and a IS-foot stroke'of piston.
As has been stated, she Is made of red and whit^
cedar as to her main structure, but the light er works,

EXTRADITIOK OP THE RAIDERS-^THE RE-
CENT CAPTURE OP MEXICAN REVOLUTION-
JSTS.
S^itcial XXaputcik to Ou Sae-Tort T%ma.
Washington, Aug. 14.— At the Cab-
inet meeUng to-day, the principal topic of
discussion was the recent erenta on the Mexican
border. Assistant Secretary Seward, who repre-
sented the State Department, presenting official
dispatches recitingthe circumstances of the raid
of Mexicans on a Texas jail, and
the release of a number of Mexican despera-
does who were confined therein. Secretary Mc-
Crary also preselfted the report of Major Price,
the officer commanding the district in which
the affair occurred. It seems that on the 10th
inst. an organized hand of Mexicans crossed
the border to Eio Grande City, attacked the
jail, and opened fire upon every person in the
vicinity, mortally wounding two citizens, and
injuring seriously the jailor and his as-
sistant. Two criminals were released. Major
Price called uDon the Mayor of Camargo, the
Mexican town from which the desperadoes
came, for the return of the released prisoners,
and demanded the arrest of the persons impli-
cated in the affair, several of whom were recog-
nized, warning him that if he did not
receive the assistance asked he should
pursue them on Mexican soU. Major
Price also went to^ Camargo and conferred
personally with the Mayor, who issued an or-
der to the Police lorthe arrest of the persons
who could be identified. Major Price at once
Informed Gen. Ord, who communicated the
facts to Gen. Trevino, commander of the
Mexican forces, and Gov. Hubbard, of Texas,
also made a demana on Gen. Canales, the Gov-
ernor of the Mexican Province of Tamaulipas,
for the extradition of the raiders.. President
Hayes submitted a dispatch from Gov. Hubbard
reciting these same facts, and asking that
a re<|uisition be made by the Federal
Government upon the Mexican authorities.
Upon an examination of the case by the Cabi-
net it was found that a requisition of this sort
cannot be made, but under the extraiitlon
treaty of 1802 it is provided that frontier States
Dr Territories of the two Governments can
make requiStions on each other directlv,
through their civil authorities, or in their ab-
sence by the commanders of the military on
either side of the boundary line. Gov. Hub-
bard was informed of this treaty relation, and
the Secretary of War was instructed to notify
Gen. Ord that it was the duty of the civil au-
^orities to conduct the negotiations.

Washington, Aug. 14.— The following
is the official report of GcnT" Ord In regard to
the late raid across the Rio Grande, forwarded
to the War Department by Lieut. -Gen. Sheri-
dan :
RlXOGOLIl Babback.s. Aug. 12.
Between 1 ainl 2 o'clock this moming an armed
band of from 10 to 1,5 men c^oas<Hi from the Mexi-
can .side into Kio Grande Citv, attA^-ked the jail and
relenaed two notorious criminals, murderers and
horse thievf s, wnoiiding the County Attorney and
three jailer* .severely. As soon 'at notification
reache<l me I sent Lieut. Fountain with -."» men in pur-
suit and followed at ilavbreak with the bulance of mv
mounted command. The river was carefully fol-
lowed, ami they were found to have crossed to the
Mexican side at a point near the ranchers, seven
miles above, one hour before Fountain')* party
reacfaeil there. Two of the party were recognized as
desperadoes who made their bead-quarters at Cam-
argo. 1 have called upon the military and civil su-
thoritie.'i of CamiiTKo ami Mier. in conjunction with
the civil nuthorities here, for the aDpr"henKion and
delivery of these outlaws. I think these hi^h handed
■ outraces should l>e immediately followed up by a de-
mand on their (iovemment for their surrender. Am

I would cross tmops and demand them at once,^
but the cuilty p.irties are doubtless beyond reach.
Vnless prompt and decLsive measures are taken by

E. O. C. ORD, Brigadier-GeneraL
Lieut. -Gen. Sheridan forwards to the War
Department from Chicago the following from
Gen. Ord. giving the official account of the
recent ca^iture of Mexican revolutionists and
recapture of horses from a notorious ranch :
Schotield, commanding Fort nuncin. telecraphs
that he struck a small Ciunp of Jfecican revolution-
ists shortly after sunrise on the morning of the 5lh
inst., and took what there was in it. \'iz.; 44.men and
43 horses. Ho found very few arms. Thev were
regularly oricanized companies under V'aldez.
Only two officers were captured: the others
were absent at Lareda and San Antonio.
A Deputy United States Marshal was with me
I hold the prisoners at __the jiost for him. Lieut.
Bullis surrounded a notorious thievinc ranch a few
miles iu Mexico on the-moming of the -Ith inst..
where Shatter had a notification that stock recently
stolen was secreted. He cot five American horses,
two of them taken from Brackettsville a short time
ago. No one was hurt nor a shot fired. He returned
to this side yesterdav at noon.

Washington, Aoig. 14.— Mr. Charles
Dodge, of the flnrfVf Phelps, Dodge & Co.. of
Xew-York. to-day had a long consultation with
the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, regard-
ing the shipments of tin and other heavy
freights from Singapore, China, to American
ports. Lender the present regulations, all ship-
ments by way of London and Liverp*>ol have
to be reinvoiced at those ports. The
merchants are thus obliged to pay double
tavoioe fees. In addition to this, the steam-ship
companies are the better enabled under exist-
"Ing rules to make unjust discriminations in
freight rates against the shipments for New-
York. Mr. Dodge, representing a number of
well-known merchants, now desires to have the
regulations changed, so that the invoices made
in China may cover the whole journey to New-
Tfork or other American cities. Assistant Sec-
retary McCormick has referred the matter to
the 5«ew-York Custom-house authorities, and
upon receiving their report the Treasury De-
l^artment will make a decision..
THE POSTAGE STAMP SUPPLY.
4 COUNT MADE OP ALL THE STAMPS IN THE
HANDS OP «HE CONTRACTORS — A SMALL
DEFICIT DISCOVEEED.
Wa.shington, Aug. 14. — Postmaster-Gen-
sral Key, .shortly after coming into office, de-
termined upon having a thorough examination
made into the manner of doing business at the
, postage stamp m mufactory in Xew-York City,
in order to be assuired that the interests of the
G>vemment wera properly protected in this im-
portant branch of the service, and hU intention
has just been carried into effect. The stamps
are furnished by th-i Continental Bank
Note Company of Isew-York, who have
held the contract since the Ist of May, 1873.
To enable the contractors to meet the require-
ments of the department promptly, it is neces-
sary to keep constantly iai stock a largo quan-
tity of stamps representing millions of dollars,
and the Postmaster-General deemed it prcper-
th»t after a lapse of more than f pur years the
stock reports made to the departxitent shotdd be
verified by an actual count of the stamps on
hand. The committee appointed*) condnct the
examination determined upon by the Postmas-
ter-General were : Madison Davis. Chief of the
Stamp Division; William A. Knapp, Chief
Clerk of the Post Office Department, and H. T.
Sperry. Stamped Envelope Agent at Hartford,
Conn., and they have just completed their la-
bors and submitted their report to Third As-
BJatant Postmaster-General Hagen, imder whose
specific instructions they actedl In taking ac-
count of stock the committee were assisted
by a force of 12 expert counters, (ladies,)
iiQier tha charEs of Mr. De Laiul. detailed Irom
the Treasury Department. The work occupied
five days, and resulted in finding on band in the
vault of the company 182,044,160 stamps of
the various kinds and denominations, repre-
sentine in valu* $7,560,82,'} 31. This result
proved a neWeflciency from the balance shown
by the books of the contractors of 652 stamps,
valued at $18 74, the difference appearing in
onlv five out of 128 items. The contractors
will be required to pay the amount of the de-
ficiency. The committee report that they care-
fully examined the character of the work as to
the qualitjj of paper, printing, gumming, &C.,
and found it very-satisfactory. They note one
deficit in the system of checks and safeguards,
otherwise regarded as adequate, in the manner
of disposing of the spoiled or condemned work.
The deficit arises fnm the inability of the Gov-
ernment agent, for want of sufficient clerical
force, to count the spoiled stamps after the con-
tractor. As a Remedy they recommend the em-
ployment of an expert to count the stamps
after they are turned over to the agent for
destruction. This cannot be done until the
necessary appropriation shall be made by Con-
gress. An additional clerk was asked for by the
agency at the last session of Congress, but was
not cranted. The committee acknowledge their
obligations to Postmaster James, of New-York,
for valuable assistance rendered them. The
report is gratifying to the department, the com-
mittee having discharged their duties thorough-
ly and effectually.
THE IXDIAy TROUBLES.
DISPATCHES RECEIVED AT GEN. SHERIDAN'S
HEAD-QUARTERS — WHAT HE THINKS OP
GEN. GIBBON'S RECENT BATTLE— ^THE
SITTING BULL COMMISSION.
.fpniat Di^KiIck to Oie Neui-Torlc ITtncs.
Chicago, 111., Aug. 14.— Dispatches re-
ceived at Military Head-quarters to-day stated
that the Indians of Joseph's band are
being followed and harassed by the
troops, and that they are in an
exhauirtcd and demoralized condition. Their
feet are sore, their heads are sore, their horses'
backs are sore, and they are evidently
becoming sick of the campaign. They
must soon, it would seem from the
tenor of the telegrams, surrender until
a more favorable season comes around. How-
ard and Gibbon, at last accounts, wet'e follow-
ing the Indians in hot pursuit. Gen. Sheridan
said to-day that he expected Howard would
soon come up with the Indians and finish the
job of chastisement which Gibbon so well
began. He believes Howard, with the sol-
diers he has at his command — from 700 to
1,000 men — can completely break up
the hostile band. Unle.ss t his punishment can
be inflicted before the Indians get away into
the mountains of Idaho, it will be' use-
less to pursue them, for they can, with
their superior knowledge of the
mountain passes, elude all pursuit.
Then .Joseph is too craftv an Indian to make
his wav through the settled country, and mil
take the most unfrequented and difficult trails.
Gen. Sheridan thinks Gibbon probably went Into
this fight with the Nez Perces without calculat-
ing as to the chances of being worsted. He
went into the fight, he says, with as much confi-
dence as though he had a big army at his
back. The Lieutenant-General is also of opin-
ion that Gibbon whipped the Indians, but as
the casualties were so h«avy and he came so
near being wiped.out; that a great many people
who, ha«l the tight not taken place, would have
called him a coward, now term him a fool for
what they call ra-shness.
Orders will be issued from the military head-
quarters here' in a few days for the trans-
fer of eight companies of the Second Cav-
alry from the Department of the Platte to
the new ^sts on the Yellowstone. In its new
field the ^»econd Regiment will be able to co-
operate with the cavalry, and in this way better
service will be secured.
Dijvaieh to the AMoriated Pro*.
Wa.ohin-oton, D. C, Aug. 14.— The following
telegram from Lieut.-Gen. Sheridan was re-
ceived at the WarDepartraent this morning:
CHIC-Ano, m, Aug. 13, 1877.
To Gen. E. D. Tmmtend, Wathinglon. D. O. :
I have every rea.son to believe that Col. Gibbon has
had a substantial success, and take pleasure in com-
mending the coumge of Col. Gibbon and his small
command. They have indicted a severe if not a dis-
astrous pttnishment on the hostile Nez Percfis. The
reports that he ha/l lost his trains are untruthful.
P. H. SHERID.-iN, Lieutenant-General
The Cabinet to-day decided that the commis-
sion to treat with Sitting Bull should consist of
only two members on the . part of the Cnlted
States — a military officer and a civilian,
f ien. Terry has been selected, and will act in
the capacity of Commissioner, pro\-ided ho can
with safety leave his post. The other member
has not yet beej^ selected, but some one already
in the publio " service will Ite designated
by Secretarj- - Schurz, there being no
appropriation or authority to employ one not in
the Government employ. It was also decided
that Col. H. C. Corbin, recently on duty at the
E.xecutlve Mansion, should accompany the com-
mission as Secretary. A member of the Cabi-
net having been applied to by a news-
paper correspondent for permission to
go with/ the commission and report pro
ceedings, the question was raised
whether correspondents should be permitted
to accompany it, and after some discussion it
was decided that as many gentlemen of that
profession as desired to might go, all of them to
pay their own expenses.
Helena, Montana, Aug. 14.— The follow-
ing has just been received from Ban-
nock: '"The Indians cro.ssed at the
head of Horse Prairie to Lemhi, striking
Stephenson's this morning, killing the Pierce
brothers and another on the route. They are
evidently making their way to Smoke River
Valley."

Bennington, Vt., Aug. 14.— To a stranger
coming into this little town to-day it might
appear that the Vermont Centennial Celebration
was in fxill blast, so full of visitors, of
flags, of decorations, of military, of brass
bands, are the tree-shaded streets. These,
however, are only the notes of preparation.
The celebration proper begins to-morrow.
There are two distinct yet allied events to be
commemorated — the establishment of Vermont
as a State and the battle of Bennington, and
one day will be given to each event. Vermont
would have become a State probably
had the battle of Bennington never
been fought, and the battle would have
been fought had the proposition to make a sep-
arate district of the New-Hampshire granta
never been heard of. Yet the two events are
nearly allied in point of time. Both grew out
of the same causes, and, therefore, both are cele-
brated at this time.
Vermont seems to have done her utmost to
make the Centennial Celebration- a success, and
beyond doubt there will bo the largest gather-
ing ol people here that the State has ever seen.
The programme of proceedings for the two
days h^ already been publi.shed. To-
morrow, the loth, is Vermont Day, and
Hon. Mr. Roberta, of Burlington, will deliver
a historical oration on the growth of the Xew-
Hampshire grants into the State of Vermont.
A procession of all the military and veteran or-
ganizations will then take place, and in the
afternoon President Hayes will arrive and be
received with all possible honors. The military
already on the ground are in camp on the
slope of a ridge. A little way out
of the city proper, and directly at the foot of
Mount Anthony, which dominates the whole
valley in which Bennington lies, every company
of the Vermont Militia and the veteran organi-
zations are imder canvas. CoL Peck, of Burling-
ton, is in command. The camp is laid out with
great care, and the conformation of the ground
ia well suited for the purpose. In addition to
the tents of the military, there is an immense
marquee for dancing purposes and long rows of
tents for lodgings, pitched on the ground a lit-
tle below the regular camp. These were put up
by the Round Lake Camp-meeting organisation
by request of the Centennial Commission, who
distrusted the capacity of the town to accommo-
date the crowds expected to throng hero cluring
the next two days. Nearly opposite has
been erected the grand stand from which the
President will review the troops. Tlio green
expanse between is used for a parade-ground.
On the outer edge of the grounds dozens of
enterprising merchants have erected such tem-
porary structures for amusement and re-
freshment as are usually seen where a
great crowd collects to spend money and see
the sights. The town has been very properly
policed by laree detachments of the mililarj-.
And last nipnt a disurderly house which
certainly must. from its magnitude,
have been specially established for
the occasion, was raided upon and
the whole crowd of inmates walked out of town.
There was dress parade this afternoon. Some
4O0 or 5(K) men were in line, and their drill
was excellent. The men went through the
manual like regulars. This excellence it w?ems
is due largely to the incessant drilling
they have been put through during the past
few days. A little betore the parade came off.
Col. Hooker's battalion came marching into
camp, and was received with a salute by tho bat-
tery of light artilltry of Brattleboro. The battal-
ion marched from Windham Gounty.aforty-mile
tramp over the mountains, upon which they
camped last night Some other detachmeuts
also came down to Bennington from their
homes in the same 8oldi<?rly style. The New-
Hampshire regimentscome to-night. The Massa-
chusetts troons are already on the ground.
The Presiaential party to arrive to-morrow
afternoon wUl consist of Pre,sident and Mrs.
Haye.s his son Birchard, Miss Foote, Attomey-
Cieneral Devens, Postmaster- Oenfiral Key, and
Secretary of War McCrary. They will bo met
at Troy by Cols, George K. Harrington and
George A. Merrill, and at the State line of
Vermont and New- York the, party will be
joined by Gen. James S. Peck, of Gov.
Fairbanks staff, and at North Bennin^t-on. the
Governor and the oflBcers of the Cent<^nnial
Comm ission^wiU be in attendance to welcome
them to Vermont and Bennington. When the
party arrives, at2P. M., Fuller's Batterj- will
fire a salute, and the President will be escorted
by the First Regiment The soldiers of Ver-
mont, both militia and veterans, will hail the
arrival of President Hayes with peculiar pleas-
ure. On the name day that Gen, R. B.
Hayes stormed the crest of South
Mountain, fighting and falling desperately
wounded, in command of an Ohio regiment a
Vermont brigade under Gen. S. "Baldy"
Smith, who is here to-day, and W. T. H.
Brooks, carried Crampton's Gap, the fierce pre-
lude to Antietam. The following gentlemen
will be guests of Col. T. S. Peck, at Camp Stark,
during the Centennial: Gen. J. C. Robinson,
Grand Commander of the Grand Army of the Re-
public of the United States , Col. James Tanner,
Commander of the Grand Army of the Republic
for. the Department of New- York; Gen. Wil-
liam Wells, Col. A. G. Watson. Gen. P. P. Pit-
kin, Col. Frederick Smith, Col. G. G. Benedict,
Hon. W. C. Smith, CoL H. P. Clapp, com-
mander of the Pierce Light Infantry, or Boston,
Mass.; J. S. Patterson, of' PMladelphia ; Gen.
John Hammond, of Brown Point, and M. S.
Colbem, of Manchester, N. H.
The sudden death of Prof. A. B. Crosby, of
Dartmouth, makes a break in the list of speak-
ers to be called upon at the banquet, Thursday
afternoon. He had accepted the invitation to
be present.
Tftie following letters declining invitations to
be present have been received :

C. IT. Bliit. Esq.:
Mt Dear Sib : I regret deeply that I cannot be
present at the Vermont Centennial Celebration, to
which the letter invites me. The state of my health
will not permit, and the same reason prevents me
from attempting to embody in verse toe spirit and
feeling of the great occasion. The record of Vermont
throughout thecentury of herexistencehasbeenoue of
which her sons have every reason to be proud. Your
sister States and the neighboring provinces of
the fair dominion which'' stretches along yonr
border will not fail to be represented at your gather-
ing, and the codfiratulations of the C'anadfts will
mmgle with those of Massachusetts and New-Hamp-
shire. The cause of peace will be strengthened by
such a celebration. To me, as a life-long opponent
of human slavery, Vermont has been a suojeet of
especial interest. Her soil has never been polluted
with slavery, and her sons were among the first to
oppose the encroachments of the detestable wrong
elsewhere. With my very best wishes for the com-
plete success of your celebration, I am vrrv tnily
yours, JOHN G. WHITTIEB.
A dispatch has been received from Vice-Pres-
ident Wheeler, saying in consequence of the

Portland, Me., Aug. 14.— Tho Maine
Democracy did most of its work in the closet
to-day, so that the delegates had little
else to do than ratify the action
of the committee.s. Mr. Talbot, who got
so badly handled in the last campaign, failed to
capture the nomination, as he had expected,
and Joseph H. Williams, of Augusta, was the
lucky aspirant for an empty title. The party
leaders held their followers well in hand, and
put forward a platform and a candidate which
bid fifrongly for aid and suppori. from the
disaffected Republicans. They go even fur-
ther in indorsing the Hayes policy than the
Augusta Convention, for while claiming that
Tilden was duly elected, they dif^Iaim anv in-
tention to make a factious opposition
to, the present Administration, and to
foster the conciliatory pol icy of the
Republicans of the State. They voted
down an anti-prohibitory resolution, which
was offered chiefly at the suggestion of the
Portland hotel -keepers, 5Ir. Williams, their
candidate, wap, as a Republican, elected in
1856 to the State Senate, and was ma(\e
President of that body. The following year he
became Governor, under the Constitution. Han-
nibal Hamlin being elected from the Governor's
chair totho United States Senate. Mr. Williams
has been a member of the House since, and is
now a retired lawyer, living iu Augusta He
ia 63 years old.
The speeches of the convention were v^ery
few and insigniflcanr, Ebeji F. Pillsbur^-. wh<>,
as Chairman of the State Committee, called «he
convention to order, did so without making a
speech, and William L. Putnam, of Porthind, the
presiding ofiicer, said very little. He talkf-tl
glibly of Democratic doctrine, charaed the
^general business depression to the Re-
publicans for continuing; the war on
the South and protecting an i n flated
currency, lea<ling to awful extravagance in
the conduct of public and private affairs, and
counseled the delegates to make no mis-
take, but put in nomination only a good
man, so that * those who believed that
right should prevail could vote for h i m
whether they were Democrats or Republicans.
Between the* first and second ballots <ien. S. F.
Nickerson, formerly of this .'^tate. and
now of Boston, made a speech, directed
pariicularly at Blaine and the Augusta
Convention, "that." he said. " dan-d not
indorse the Administration, whose acts had
commended thenifelves to every patriotic citi-
zen,'* and the shot was well applauded. ^Ir.
Pillsburv also made a brief speech at this
juncture, but said nothing notable.
The nomination of Mr. Williams was not se-
cured without a struggle. When his name was
propo.sed by Mr. ^mith. of Augusta, it
was received with mingle^^l hisses and
applause. On the first ballot' thu
three candidates voted for wero
Mr. Williams, Mr. Talbot, and Dr. .Vlonzo Gar-
celon. of Lewiston. There wa* no choi<'e. hut
Williams wa#. Ithead. The name of (tufelon
was then withdrawn. The second ballot
resulted as the first, in no choice,
but in the third Williams was
victorious, receiving 282 out of 4.sO votes, and
against 101 for (iarcelon and 87 for Talbot.
It was on the motion of Garcelon that the
nomination of Williams was made unanimous.
The Committee on Resolutions reporte'd three
resolutions as follows :
Resolved. That the Democracy of Maine, in conven-
tion assembled, herebv reaffirm and adopt the plat-
form and principles adopted by the Nationnl Demo-
cratic Convention at St- Louis in Juno. 1S7)>.
Rfsolved. That the reversal of the verdict of
the American -jioople as expressed at tho ballot-
box in November hun. electing Samuel .1. Til-
den President of the United States. wa« the most
monstrous political fraud recorded m hLstorj-. The
Democrarv submitted to it in The interests of
peace. It must not be repeated, and we call
upon ContrresR to prepare and submit for ratification
an amendment to tiie Constitution which will ren-
der its repetition imoossible. and consign the con-
spirators attempting it to condign punishment.
liesolved. That the restoration to common rights of
citizenship of the people of the three Southern
States, long kept subject to raiUtary occupation, is a
just acknowledgment of the wisdom of .Democratic
principles; that the Democratic Parjy acts upon
principle, makes no factious oppositinnriuid opposes
only what is wronp in an administration in jiosses-
sion of the Government.
Marcellus Emery, of Bangor, submitted two
minority resolutions, one condemning the
prohibition legislation of the last liO yeare, the
other in favor of legislation which shall be in
accord with our bill of rights and best promote
temperance. Th< se resolutions excited an
earnest debate, and were defeated with cheers.
The majority resolutions were then adopted.

Special Dispaieh to the ye»*-Tork T\mfM.
Baltimore, Md., Aug. 14. — The changes
and reductions ^n the force of the Baltimore
Custom-house will he made to-morrow, and will
effect between 60 and 70 of the present incum-
bents. The special agents recently reported
to the Treasury Department that the force was
stronger by 50 employes than was needed to
transact the business,;and Collector Thomas was
instructed to cut it down to that extent ; but in
his representations that the reduction would be
too sweeping he induced Secretarj- Sherman to
order the abolirion of only about 35 positions,
which is more than one-sixth of the entire num-
ber of employes. Beside those that are to go
out permanently, there will be some 30 dis-
missals of incumbents to make places for new
appointees, who will be in harmony with the
ruling faction of the Republican Party in Mary-
land. Tbia is looked upon as one of the first
movements toward preparing the party for the
Fall campaign.
The Republicans have already attempted a
coalition with the Working Mens* Party, on the
Mayorality by proposing that the latter should
rtocuaui^ for Mayor, David L. Bartlett, ajjrumi-
nent aiAiicfactnrer, in which event the Kepub-
licans would indorse him ; but the Working
Men have not taken kindly to the proposition,
and say that they will take their caLdidate out
of their own ranks.

MORE DIPLOMATIC COMPLICATIONS.
GERSTANY'S REMONSTRANCE AGAINST TURK-
ISH ATROCITIES — A PANIC AT KUS-
TENDJ I— ALLIANCE BETWEEN ROUMANIA
AND SERVIA — THE SOVEREIGNTY OF
BULGARIA — GEN. IGNATIEFF REPORTED
IN DISGRACE — DISCONTENT IN ROU-
MANIA.
London, Aug. 15. — TUq Daily Ncwf^ cor-
respondent at Berlin teleeraphs the following :
"The German Government has seriously remon-
strated against the Turkish atrocities and inti-
mated to the Porte the absolute necessity for
stricter discipline."
The Vienna correspondent of' the same paper
reports that at Kustendji there is a panic owing
to the bombardment of the place by the Turks.
Kustendji was occupied by only two regi-
ments of tho Fourteenth Army Corps and
one battery. They will evacuate the town.
Meanwhile, for the protection of foreign sub-
jects, an English steamer has arrived in the
port. Bulgarian families are leaving Tirnova
in large numbers for the Danube, as an attack
on the place by the Turks is daily expected.
The Stnndard'.H special from Constantinople
says it in reported from Widdin that an
alliance between Roumania and Servia has
been concluded. Tho Roumanians and Servians
celebrated the alliance by mutually saluting
each othor*s flag at Gladova, on the frontier.
It is expected that the Russians and Ronnmni-
ans will almost immediately enter Servia, and
be joined bj' the Servians, who are constructing
strong works upon the Timok and at Alexin.itz.
The Ti}tws' occa.sionaI correspondent at Vienna
says: " A rumor from a Russian source asserts
that Bulgaria, while remaining a vassal of the
PoTte, will be declared autonomous and placed
under a Mussulman Prince. It is quite
possible that this rumor is an indirect reply on
the part of Russia to the declaration recA^-ntly
mafie by the Porte that it would be dispose<l to
accord Bulgaria considerable autonomy.
Prince Ha.ssan. son of the Khedive of Eg^-pt.
is spoken of as the futtire sovereign of Rulgaria.
He was educ.ate<l in Germany, and it is asserted
that the suggestion of his name as Prince of
Bulgaria is regarded favorably at Berlin and
will be supported by England.
The THntfis' occasional corro-spondent says it
is rumored that Gen. Ignatieff's indi.'ipo-sition
is a feint, and that he has .suddenlv fallen
into disgrace. The passage of the Bal-
kans was mainly resolved on in conse-
quence of his asstirance that with the
Turks anything might be ventured upon. The
Ru.s.sian (Tovernment says, moreover.that it{has
been misled on cet^in other points concerning
the state of things in Turkey. This rumor may
have some foundation, biit I communicate it
under reser\-e.
The iTi'm*".'*' Vienna dispa^h says : " A letter
from a cood source in Bucharest
shows that there ia much diiwontent
in Roumania at the passage of the
Danube by Roumanian troops. The writer adds
that Roumania aimed at independence, and
would haveattained her object without great sac-
rifices by remaining on the defensive ; whereas
a direct participntitm in the war endangers
her future and exhausts her resources. Thn
Roumanians derive no pecuniary benefit from
suppl\-ing provisiims. Arc, for the Rus.Man
Army. The Russians can no longer pay iu
ready money, but in bonds payable at three
months' date.
The 7'iws' Vienna special says : "The visit
of Minister Ristics. of Servia. to Vienna h;is
been postponed, and the Ser\-ian Ministry mean-
while remains iu oflice."
THE STRUGGLE IN ASTA MINOR.
A GREAT EXODUS OP CIRCASSIANS FROM THE
CAUCASUS — ALLEGED RUSSIAN OUTRAGES
—HEAVY FIGHTING EXPECTED SOON AT
BATOUM.
London, Aug. 14. — Special dispatches
from Batoum state that a great exodus of Cir
cassians from the Caucasus is going on as a
consequence of tho withdrawal of the Turki.*h
expeditiou. Fifty thousand people and 1 .V).000
cattle are awAitintr embarkation at Sukum
Kaleh. Hobart Pasha had improvised a jetty
by mooring small vessels lengthwise,
and the people and cattle were walking
aboard the vessels. A frigate and trarisport
had arrived at Batoum with 1.000 and J>00
emigrants respectively. None were permitted
to land at Batoum on account of the lack
of accommodations and provisions. All
go to Trebizond. The Russians succeeded in
stopping the exodus from the Tchamtchira dis-
trict, and drove the people back with great
cruelty. It is repttrted that all the men who
participated in the in.*5urrection are sent to
Siberia and their women and children given to
the Cossacks. Xo movement of the Russians is
visible in the neighborhood of Sukum Kaleh.
At Batoum on Monday there was an artillery
duel. Heavy fighting is expected soon. [Note.
^This is the first intimation received here that
the Russians had returned to the neighborhood
of Batoum. It is a Manchester (riwrrfiaH special
dated Batoum yesterday.]
Constantinople, Atig. 14. — Mukhtar Pasha
telegraphs under date of Aug. 12 : Several
hundred Russians were killed in an ambuscade
near Kaule, (probably Kizil-Kule, south
of Ani. ) Another ofiicial telegram, dated
Aug. I'.i. says: "The Russian outposts near
Ani have been defeated with the loss of 100
killed," In both the forecoing engagements
the Turks withdrew on the approach of Rus-
sian reinfo rcements.
TEE CAMPAIGN IN BULGARIA.
THE ADVANCE OF SULEIMAN PASHA — HIS FOB-
WARD MOVEMENT WITHOUT OPPOSITION
— SHARP ENCOUNNER AT ESKI SAGHRA
—RECENT RUSSL\N LOSSES.
London, Aug. 14. — If it is true, as re-
ported from Adrianople. that Suleiiuan
Pasha is advancing through the Fere-
ditch Pass, the movement is likely to
occasion severe fighting. This route would
bring him down upon Elena and the
direct road to Tirnova, where he would
engage tho Rus.sians, and enable Os-
man Pasha and Lieut.-Gen. Mehemet
Ali to effect a junction, when the united Turk-
ish armies would confront the concentrated
armies of the Czar. But Fereditch Pass is so
unlikely to be chosen for such a movement in
the face of the enemy, when othnr and more
practicable passes are open, that it will be well
to await ofiicial confirmation before accepting
the news as correct.
The Times* Bucharest correspondent tele-
graphs that Prince Eugene, of Leuchtenberg,
who commanded a' force of dragoons and
Bulgarians under Gen. Gourkho, had ereat
difllcultj- in extricating himself when the Rus-
sians were compelled to evacuate E.sld Saghra.
He was surrounded, but cut his way out with
the loss of 800 men.
Constantinople, Aug. 1 4. — By tne last
military' operation south of the Balkans a loss
of 12,0OU killed and wounded was inflicted
upon the Russians. The enemy have been
driven from all localities south of the moun-
tains, and law and order have been restored.
Bucharest, Aug, 14. — Eight Turkish steam-
ers, including monitors, carrying troops and
basgage, apneared off some Roumanian villages
near Oltenitza to-day. After reconnoitring half
an hour they withdrew to Silistria.
London. Aug. 15.— The Times has the fol-
lowing dated Sbumla, Aug. 14 : *' Suleiman
Pasha announces that his vanguard has with-
out opposition pressed forward as far as
Ferdinskinj, on the road to Elena and entrance
to the defile of the same name, and that it seems
as if the Russians wish to abandon the pass.
The same paper's Adrianople special confirms
the foregoing.
The Netcs publishes the following special
dated Kadikoi,' Tuesday, but no news of the en-
gagement referred to has been received
from' any other source: *' An en-
gagement occurred yesterdav at Topkeny.
The Russians defeated the Turks and captured
five cannon. Osman Pasha has arrived within
four hoora' march of Tirnova. The Bnuiana
are retreating from Topkeny. Thty have been
reinforced."
Adrianoplb, Aug. 14.— Stdeiman Pasha's
forward movement is impeded by bad weather.
NOTES OF THE EASTERN CONFLICT.
A dispatch from Bucharest says Gen.
Krudener, who commanded at Plevna, has been
removed and is succeeded by Gen. Latoff.
London, Aug. 14. — ^A Berlin dispatch to
the Times says the Czar's private yacht Livadia
has been fitted as a corvette to cruise in the
Euxine Sea.
A dispatch from Athens says the Cabinet
to-day decided to undertake certain naval prep-
arations, and will ask for a special credit of 30,-
000,000 drachmas.
A dispatch from Ragusa says Despotovich
is still interned at Linz. His forces are re-
assembling at Selso under Golub. who has sur-
prised the Turksby an ambuscade, killed several,
and captured bootj-. Fifteen thousand Turks
are concentrating at Mostar to march on Gatz-
ko.
A dispatch from St. Petershurg says no
orders nave been issued for extending mobili-
zation. The Warsaw, Wilna. and St. Peters-
burg Military Districts are in great part unaf-
fected by the mobilization. The corps of the
Guard has not been mobilized to its full extent,
the Cuirassiers and several batteries not being
included.
Referring to the seizure of Turkish monitors
atCorfu by the Hellenic Government, adispatch
has been received at the Department of State
frf)m the Vnited States Minister to Greece con-
taining a statement of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs before the Greek Chamber, by which it
appears that the affair has been amicably set-
tle<L
A letter from Constantinople states that
the German colony has, through the Prince of
Reups, the German Ambassador, asked the
I*t>rte for authorization to form a sort- of mu-
nicipal guard for self -protection. A majority
of tho Police having been drafted into the
Army those remaining are insufficient to pre-
serve order.
MUNfTIOyS OF WAR FOR TURKEY.
Boston, Mass., Aug. 14. — The English
.«tfaraer John Bramall sailed from New-Haven,
some time Saturday night, with a valtiable car-
go of ammunirion, consigned to the Turkish
War Department. The Bridgeport Metallic

.Special Dispatch to the A'fw- Vork TVnwx
Cleveland, Aug. 14. — Your correspond-
ent called to-day upon Mr. Prank Skarda. the
yoimg Bohemian editor whom the working
men put in nomination at_Cincinnati on Satur-
day last for Lieutenant-tTOvernor. He was very
hopeful and willing to talk. He safd the people
would he astonishetl at the result of the coming
election. "I am confident we can carry the
State.'' he said, "if a proper canvass
is made. The Bohemians everywhere are solid,
and will vote our ticket to a man. There are
about H.OOO Bohemians in this city that can
V»e counted on. We propose to divide the city
into Hiiheniian, German, and English sections,
and \viU speak to the pe<iple upon our platform,
which, iu a single sentence, is, more
work and better pay. Everything of
]at<* has helped tis. The strikes are
settled, it is said, but the people propose to
have their say at the polls. In Hamilton Coun-
ty (Cincinnati) the Democratic Party will suffer
most from lo.ss of votes, but in Cleveland the
Repul)licans will lose. There is very much en-
thusiasm in Cincinnati. I talked with many
business men. and they, to a man, pledjred their
suppiirt to our party, saying, ' What is for
the working man s iuterest is for our interest.'
We have no sympathy with the Greenback
Party, but believe in doing away with the na-
tional bank system. We have many crood speak-
ers, and they will immediately be put forward
to advocate our principles. There need be no
fears on our part-, so far as the laboring German
vote is concerned. It \rill supiK>rt our partv.
We are not Communists, as a good many people
represent. We don't believe in"the geneikl dis-
tribution of property, but we do want that
system stopped by which some people are en-
abled to get very rich at the expense of others."
CHICAGO AND NORTH-WESTERN
GRCSS EARNINGS OP THE RAILROAD— THE
OPERATING EXPENSES AND TAXES — THE

Chicago, HI., Aug. 14. — The anntial report

Lea\*ing a net income of the Chicago and
North-western Railroad Company proper for
the year of $1,835,018 23. This is reduced
some $700,000 by a deficit on the proprietary
roads. Speaking of the falling off in busine.«^s
the past year and the prospects of a revival this
Fall. President Keep says the gross earnings of
the united roads for the first half of the fiscal
year tip to Dec. 1. were less by $284,518 80
than those of the corresponding six months of
the preceding year, but the falling off in the
earnings was more than met by the reduction in
the expenses, and the result was a gain of $218,-
020 40 in the net income of the company.
Expectarions were entertained that the last
half of the fiscal year would, with a continu-
ance of the decreased expenses, show as favor-
able net results as did the corresponding period
the previous year in sufficient amount to justify
a moderate dividend on preferred stock in June,
and leave a handsome surplus to the credit of
fhe year's income.- This expectation was frus-
trated by the light business of the Winter and
Spring- The low prices for freights which al-
ways come from a lack of business by various
roittes, and the low rates obtained under the
operation of the restrictive laws of Iowa have
in part conduced to the reduction in the earnings.
The general and widespread depression pervad-
ing the country would have weighed still
more heavily upon our revenue during last year,
had the resources from which the company de-
rives its business been less varied than they
are. The present season has already sufficient-
Iv advanced to assure an abundant harvest in
tne West and North-west, especially of wheat.
Every indication poiDts to an early and con-
stant demand for ^readstuffe, and traffic on all
our railroads will soon feel the movement.
There, is encouragement in a change from^ the
old year 8 business to fhe new. W^th reference
to the prospect of an improvement in all sources
of revenue during the new fiscal year, and in
the certainly corresponding increase in the
value of the stocks and bonds of the company,
the report says, the value of the property to Its
owners and its efficiency to the public are stead-
ily enhanced by the improvements of a durable
character made in the permanent wef. Steel
track to the extent of 151 73-100 miles was
laid during last year, making 510 53-100 miles
in nee on the 31?t of May last. This will be
increased to i*bor* 750 miles dtxringthe present

THE FAMINE IN INDIA. '
A FAMINE AREA OP EIGHTEEN MILLION PEO-
PLE— THE NErE.*5SITY FOR ^SCPPLIES
STEADILY increasing; — THE SITUATION
CRITICAL.
Calcutta, Aug. 12. — At a public meet-
ing held at Madras on the flth inst,, to consider
steps necessary for securing help from England
for the famine sufferers, the Duke of Bucking-
ham. Governor of the IMadras rresiden'*y,
stated that the famine area contained 18.O0O,-
000 people, of which a largo proportion were
dependent for their daily food on the exerrions
and activity of those who tni^sport grain to tho
country. The necesity for supplies is steadily'
increasing. The wants of ^Madras are
already beyond the means of the Presidency.
Every aid that can- be secured is ne^^de^l to
save the people. The increa,<»ing severity of the
distress necei^sitates an appeal to public chariry.
Dr. Cornish, Sanitary Commissioner, said tliat
there were alreadv L.nOO.OOO people being fed,
and over .500,000 had died. A re>olution wa-^
adopted that the principal cities of England,
Sc4)lland, Ireland^ and India be informed of the
urgent necessity ?<T* assistance. Th** mover of
this resolution said tT%i more people were found
dead in a single moruftg in Madras than had.
died in the whole Benj-%1 famine.
Loxnos, Aug. 14.— A Calcutta dispatch to the
TVm/'.^ says : ''During t\e last week there has

pootana, where prices are rising greatly. In the
korth-west rain is still wanted, and it» may l>e
said regarding the greater part of India that the
situation is crirical, and great dancer of almost
universal famine exists. The Viceroy has de-
termined to visit the famine-stricJien countrv,
for the purpose of holding personal conference
with the Governors.
THE FREI^CH POLITICAL SITUATION.
I^ONDON, Aug. 14. — The Paris Momtetir's
declaration in contradiction of the Figaro's
sensational stories is more categorical than
Renter's telegram, which was telegraphed to
the United States this morning, indi-
cates.- The MoniUnr says that the ques-
tion of a state of siege has never been
discu-ssed or rai«ted in the Cabinet ; that there
has never existed either on this or any other
question any- division w^hin th6<?abinet; thai
the most perfect understanding has always ex-
isted between the Duke de Broglie and M.
Fourtou : that neither the German nor any oth-
er Government has made any representations
on the presence of the Duke de brogle at thft
head of the Cabinet, and that the President of
the Republic is firmly resolved to retain the
Ministr\- of the Ifith of May until the elections.
It is believed that the Journal Official will re-
Eeat these contradictions to-night, and that the
•uke doBroglie's acting for M. Fourtou during
his absence is an arrangement evidently
designed as an additional proof of harmony be-
tween them. There is, nevertheless, a wide-
spread belief that M. Fourtou advocates the
proclamation of a state of siege, and the papers
which sound his prai.ses unquesrionably »dv^

The remarks of ex-Gov. Bross, Rev. Mr.
Ryder, and Mr. Sherwood, made on Monday last at a
toeeting of the Chicago policy-holders pf the Charter
Oak Life Insurance Company, at Hartford, and re-
ported in The Times of yesterday, have called forth
the following letter from Mr. H. J. Farber. It will
bo seen that Mr. Furber denies all the cha^^made
B^inst hint of wroDg-doing in cohdeetion with the
B.ffairs of the Charter Oak Company, and challenges

a court of law :
To the Editor of the JTcto- York TTmei :
In yonr edition of this morning you pnbUah a ape-
rial diftpatcli from your correspondent in Chicago
X orportiDg to be a report to the Chicago policy-hold-
ers of the Charter Oak Life Insiirance Company,
made by the committee of policy-holders
from that city recently choien to visit Hart-
ford to represent the interests of snoh policy-holders.
I have borne in silence for mora than a month the
charges which have been made against me of frauds
«nd villainies in connection with my management of
thirt couip.nny, waiting and hoping that thuse high in
authority, and who knew of their own knowledge
toe falsehood of these ohaT^es. wotild speak out in
ray defence, aa they solemiilv promised and agreed to
d<i. One of the express conditions upon which I in-
Fisted, l»efore I wuuld consent to relinquish my po-
siriiin Jn connection with the company, waa that un-
in*»diately upon entering upon the discharge of their
tlutied ttie present officers should cause an examlna-
, linn of ray transactions in connection with tlio com-
panv to he made, and then cither publish to the
world my complete vindication, or el^e pnblishthe
fafis njK>n wUich I ought to be condemned. This
cnridition was solemnly aj^rred to bv the commis-
(■itnier. Mr. St*'dniau, by Hon. Marshali Jewell, by
Hr>ii. W. W. Katun, and' by Mr. George P. Biasell.
If Rev. Dr. W. H. RydHr. Chairman of the Commit-
tee of the (.'hicago policy-holders, in his report
roiuitily cond«'mned my management as one
of tiare:ai'*d robbery, ho s'tated.what he might have
known to be false, and utterly faUe. had he taken
Die trouble to make any investigation into the affairs
*f the Charter Oak Lite Insurance Company when
pent to Hartford for that purpose by the policy-
b-iiders r,f the company. It Hon. William Bross,
one of the committee, stated that as Western men
and policy-holdt-n* they should give Hartford and the
State of (Vmneciiimi to understand that they menu
>>nsiiies5. and that for one he demanded that Furber,
"Walbeley. and others intereHted in the robbery of
The Charter i>ak Company, be sent to the Peniten-
tiarj- for their stiipennou-s villainy. I will simply say
that Hon. Wiiiiam Bross has fabnfied his own words,
uttered no later than two weeks aao last Sunday, in
a conimunicatioti to his own paper, the Chic«^
'frUfune, over his own signature, m which he atatea
thai " whaiever may liave been the intention*
of Mr. Fiirber and Mr. Wiggin in obtaining
rontroi of the company, their managentent
of its affairs has been eminently wise
O'ld advantageouiL" If Mr. George Sherwood, an-
other of the "committee, stated that the committee
ra»ne to tl-e conclusion, and that after thorough in-
vestigation, that these persons — Wiggin andFnrber —
who were intrusted with the imaense orphan fund
were insralle*! in their places through corruption and
1 raud, and t iieir manaeement has been reckless,
cruel, and crimina!. I desire to state that Mr. Sher-
V ood testified to that of which he knows nothing
froia any inve?itigation which he or the committee
from Clucat;o made while on their visit to Hartford.
Thisc<un:nittee reached Hartford on Monday, and
after siwnding two days in close commnuion with
certain persons in Karttord who have been striving
lor more than a year to break_up and destroy the
conipany, they were at last, by earnest appeal on the
part of certain gentlemen who were familiar with the
manner in which the company had beenruanaaed
dnrinc the last liO months, induced to visit the office
nf the com pany. They spent there two houra. from 1 1
r>cloi'k nntil l" in conversation with the President,
Mr. Wiggin. Tl'.ey never examined a book or a
paper of tl;e company, or aaked to see one, but." after
listening to the story of the President, Mr. Sherwood
himself stated that they were satidfied that the man-
airement of thi> company, bIdco the retirement of Mr.
Widkelev, had been judicioan. If mv management
f>' the affttirs of the Charter Oak Life Insnrance Com-
pany wa-i recklew, ctul-I and criminal, then the fol-
Jowing flgures are lies. If. on the other hand, the
Jieures are true, then the thousand and one stories
woich have Iften published broadcast throtigh the
land respecting my management are infamotialy
fa.!?e and malicious. I assert that the figures pub-
lish d below are substantially true ; if thej are not
true, I call upon the present managers of the com-
pany, who are men of eminent respectability,
TO state wherein they are fabie. More,
overaa Hon. William Bross seems to be de-
tirnu.'i .of being a champion in the eanse of
the Charter OaK Life Insurance Company, I dare
him or Rev. Dr. W. H. Rvder or Mr. George Sher-
•w.»od — either, anv, or all of them — ^to meet me in
Hartford at any time they may appoint, and there
make the necessary afUdavlta which will implicate
me in any criminal transactions in connection with
mv management of the company. Now, If on&-half ,
f.fimetentb part of what these gentlemen have as-
Fdrted is true, then I am pullty of criraea which will
wnd me to State Prison in the State of Coimecticut,
and it becomes the duty of these gentlamen who
liave so openly avowed their porpoae and Intention
in this narticjlar matter to meet mo in Hartford and
make tne necessary charges. And furthermore, I
will say that this they mo-st and shall do, or they
f hall suffer as much for their fslsehood as I hav» suf-
fere<i bv reason of the same.
The financial condition of ttie Charter Oak Life
Insnrance Company, as ahown by its report to the-
Insuraiice Commissioner of the State of Connecticut
on the 31st day of December, ISTS, or within 30

berarae connected with its affairs, was as follows :

force at the time of that report, but which were
omitted from the schedules sent to the In-
surance Dep«te:ent, and the farther sum of
S40,000 for death losses In^ excess of the

H- J. FtJEBER.
New- York, Tuesday, Aug, 14, 1877.
In eonversation with a reporter of Thx Tms
yesterday afternoon, Mr. Farber bitterly denounced
the way In which he has been treated generally for
more than a month, but spoke with a great deal of
satisfaction of the action toward Mm by Sir. H. C.
Tmmbnll, J^r., of Baltimore, who was the Secretary
of the General Committee of Policy-holders that
met in EEartf ord. In explanation of his thankfulness
to Mr. TrumbnIl he exhibited a letter, from which
the following extract is mode :
BAI.TIMOBB, Ang. 1, 1877.
ff, J. Furber, Hag. :
Dkas Sir: I was one of a committee of 3£ary-
land policy-holders in the Charter Oak Life Insar-
ance Company who went to Hartford to examine the
affairs of that institution, and I frankly tell you that
I arrived in that city with as strong a prejudice
against you as one man can have against another,
and was not only prepared, but fully de-
termined, to expose to the ntmost of my
power what I conceived to be enormoa«
rascalities on your part. After a full and searching
Investiga^on of the affairs of the company, and more
partlc^arly those in which yon were concerned, J be-
came convhiced that I had done yon a great injustice
in my own mind. I think It but due to you to say
that, in my estimation, you have been the
victim of an unjust and bitter persecution, such as
would have impelled me, had I been in your
position, to nght to the last extremity,
even regardless of the Interests of the
Csy-holders, in defense of my own good name,
t you have consulted, as you have, the good of
all the policy-holders at a sacrifice of your own feel-
ings, by the entire aurrender of your personal inter-
ests in the company, cannot, I think, be too highly
commended. I also desire to bear testimony to the
great service jrou did the company during your con-
nection with It by increasing its available interest-
bearing bonds to the extent of $1,000,000. I am.
Sir. most sincerely yours,
H. C. TRtJMBtJLL. Jr.
In concluding his remarks with reference to
Messrs. Bross, Ryder, and Sherwood, Sir. Furber
said that those gentlemen will now either have to
"fish, cut bait, or go ashore." In other words, they
must either make their charges against him in. legal
form, or retract them entirely.

TWO PBOTHACTED MEETINGS OP TBI JOINT
t COMsrirTEE YESTERDAY WITHOITT RE-
SX7LT — THE PARTICIPANTS RETICENT — AN
ADJ0I^R>'MENT UNTIIi MONDAY.
The committees of the . Western Union and
Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph Companies, appointed
with a view to the proposed consolidation or pooling
of earnings, met in secret in the rooms of the Union
Trust Company at 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
and remained in session until 2:30 P. M. Mr. Orton
was one of the first to come out. Seeing the report-
ers waiting, he immediately returned and addressed
a few words, apparently of caution, to Mr. Vander-
bilt. Gen. Eckert, ex-Gov. Morgan. Mr. Kusaell Sage,
and ench of the oth»-r meaiUers of tht* committee as
they fllpd out. The result waa that it was impossi-
hle'to obtain any information from any of them as
to the pr<>ceedings, except that no conclusion had
l>een reached, and that another meeting was to take
place last evening — where, all refused to sar. It L*
probablf that, after discmsshm, the adjournment was
taken in order to admit of a modification of the
proposition, so that it .iftight conform to the views
expressed by the majority. Mr. Sage, however, who
holds the controlling intere^it in Atlantic and Pacific
stock, gave it as his opinion that it will be some time
before the negotiations are brought to any definite
conclusion. On t^e street, all sorts of rumors In
regard to the conference were afloat.
The second me^^ilng took place In Mr. Vander-
bllt's rooms in the "W'indsfir HoteL There was a full
attendanceofbothroromittecs. including Messrs. Sage,
Vanderbllt, Scheil. Morcan, Dillon, and Sampson.
Messrs. Oonld, Keone, Orton, and Eckert were also
present. The session commenced at 8 o'clock,
and lasted until 11:30. It was strictly private.
At its conclnaion tho persona in attendance were ex-
tremely reticent as to the nature of the proceedings.
It waa learned, however, that no conclusion was ai^
^Hved at, and that another meeting on the subject is
to be held on Monday next. Mr. Orton said that
everything was progTeaalng favorably with a proba-
bility of final agreement. Mr. Sage said that the
members of the committees were as far anart
in their \-iews as when thev started. Mr. Gould
said. " WelL they've kind of collapsed." A bystand-
er remarked jokingly that it was carious that such a
calamity shonid befall men representing such enor-
mous wealth, whereat Mr. Gould
rejoined: "They' may not'^-be so rirl
morrow morning." Ex-Gov. Morgan said : "I
don't think I will tell yon '"anything to-night
It wouldn't do you any good.*' The others refused
to impart any information whatever. All unani-
mously declined to state the nature of the proposi-
tions discussed — whether it was to be a
consolidation, a pooling of earnings, or a
sale of Atlantic and Pacific stoc^ to the
Western Tnion Company. Mr. Keene subsequently
while standing at the bar of the hotel said with em-
phasis that be held enough stock to control the ne-
gotiations and that he would not let it go unless his
terms were complied with. What those terms were
he did not announce. In passing out, he and Gould
met in the corridor. Gould vtdked by without no-
ticing his enemy, but Keene turned his head and
scowled at the little man until he reached the door.
MR. WEST TELLS JTBAT BE HAS DOXE FOR
THE XEQRO.
The Dayton (Ohio) Journal prints corre-
spondence between a colored man and Judge William
H. West, tj*<feepublican candidate for Governor, in
which theiatter says : ' ' Your sincere words of con-
gratnlatjpn give me the liveliest pIeasiHt>. I have
endeavored to render your people some service. In
1854, Deforethe Republican Party had crystallized
into organic form, I united In founding and conduct-
ing the first Republican newspaper in Logan.County
and about the first in the State, the Bellefontaine
RepubKeaan. In 1855, I advocated the nomination of
ilr. Chase for Governor. In 1S62 I conducted the
Congressional campaign in this district on the basis
of the emancipation prt>clamation. and in January,
1863, delivered a speech in the Ohio House of Repre-
sentatives in its defcDse, which I wish you could see.
In 1807, I delivered an address in the evening be-
fore the Republican State Convention at Columbus,
advocating impartial manhood suffrage, a^ copy of
which I send von, and which I should not regret to
have republished now. These principles I have sup-
ported and defended from the deepest convictions of
right and the highest sense of justice, without ostAn-
tatlen, and bat allude to these incidents in my life
beeause of the kind words you have spoken."
CHILDREN ly A TIQUT PLAGE.
The Bangor (Me.) W'Aty of the 13th inat. aays:
** On Saturday morning a strange accidenji happened
at a small boardlng-honae at the foot of Union-street.
A little boy, a year and a half old, named Jimmie
Bussell, walked out of the rear door of the house,
and went in between two buUdinga, which are only
about nine inches apart at one end, and very much
less at the other, until he wedged himself in, so that
he could not move either way. His mother discov-
ered where be wua, but cotild not get to him. His
sister, about 12 years old, went up stairs, and at-
tempted to go down to his assistance ; she gvt down
so she could reach him, but at this point she slipped,
and was so fastened that it was Impossible for her to
move. A Inrge crowd congregated, but it was found
impossible for any one to get in between the build-
ings, and the children were obliged to remain in their
uncomfortable quarters ontU a place about three feet
square had been sawed out of the side of the house,
■wkiSB. they were relsased."

SabatooAj Ang. 14.— Tho second day's sport
of the August meeting was very brilliant. Under
the influence of an undondsd sky, a bracing atmos-
phere, and an attraetive programme, the man-
agers' expectations in regard to a large at-
tendaaee were folded. The (}rand Stand
was crowded, and the track was very fast.
The enjoyment c^ the spectators .was eon-
sidenibly marred, however, by the long delay in the
first and second races and the wretched efforts of the
official starter, Ht. Puryeitr, who, to teU the truths
has been a lamentable failure. He left Baden Baden
at the post in the Kenner Stakes, when there was
not the least necessity for it, and was the indi-
rect eanse of rendering a valuable horse naelesB.
If hisses were a prophylaotio for bad starting Mr.
Poryear would certainly improve, for he reeelved
more of them than were ever heard on this traok be-
fore. The day was one of slaughter for the knowing
ones, as only one favorite was sueeessfnl, and that
was Parole. Pierre Lorillard was the lucky man of
the day, and Evans, who rode Bszil. wu rewarded
with $200 for the successful mount. The first race,
in the mutual pools, paid $17 50. the second $28 30,
the third $7 20, and the fourth §52 40, for ereiy $5
invested.
THE RACING IX DETAIL.
THE THREE-QUABTKHS DASH,
The day's entertainment was begun with a
dash of three-quarters of a mile for maiden 2-year
olds, which brought nine youngsters to the i>ost,
namely. Jet, Bnncaii F. Kenner, Lexington filly,
Invercauld fiHy, Clifton, Danieheff, Eugene N. Rob-
inson, Hildegarde, War Dance-Fly filly, and En-
quirer-I*l8ure filly. Of this lot Hildegarde was
the favorite, as it was given out that she was con-
sidered the best of Lorillard's 2-year olds. Jtist
before the start she hrougbt $155, Clifton
$140, Withers' $55, McDaniel's $40. Danl-
cheff $45, Duncan F. Kenner $30, Jet $25,
and Eugene N. Robinson $25. They were mnstered
in the chute, and there was considerable delay In
getting them together, owing to the ugly disposition
of DanichefT. At the third attempt they broMe away
together, but Dsnlrheff held back, and the specta-
tors began to nianlfeift their impatience by stamping
their feet. After a few more attempts they were
sent away In close order, Mr. Crouse making the
best 2-year start of the meeting. Kenner was quick-
est on his feet, and was slightly leading the Fly
tilly. with Clifton third, Hildegarde fourth, and
Danlcbeff. in the rear of the lot. Aa
they ran down the chute the Fly flUy ran
to the front, and was followed by Clifton. When
they turned into the regular track, at the half-mile
pole, the Fly flUy was leadinc a length, while Kenner
was second, half a length In front of Clifton, fol-
lowed by Robinson fourth, Hildegarde fifth, and the
Enquirer filly sixth. Coming round the lower lum,
Clifton passed Into the second place and ohallenged
the Fly filiy, but the latter led him a length at the
three-quarter pole ; Robinson was still third, while
Withers' filly waa fourth, and Hildegarde fifth.
AVhen they came up the stretch the Flv filly and
Clifton came away from the others, and the race
was between them. Clifton, however, lasted the
longer of the two. and won the race by three-quarters
of a length, in 1:174^
THE KENXEB STAKE.
The second event was the Kenner stake for 3-year
olds, two miles, which dosed with 63 nominations.
This is one of the most important stakes of the sea-
son, and consequently there was a vast amonnt of
interest manifested regarding it. When the judges
sununoned the starters to the track there were nine
of them, as follows: Major Parker, St- James. Susque-
hanna, Baill, Wash Booth, Baden Baden, Clover-
brook, Oriole, and Bushwhar.ker. All the leading
1r>ckeys had mounts, including Evans, Hsyward,
fughea, and Barbee, and when the horses took their
prelimlnarj- canters along the stretch their move-
ments were followed with intense interest. The
connoisseurs lined the fence to take a look at them
before making their final deposits in the pool-
box. Baden Baden was the favorite, and
brought $550; Su.Hquehanna« $250; Bazll, $215;
Oriole, $50 ; Cloverbrook, $40 ; Bushwhacker,
$50 : McDaniel's pair. $50. and Wssh Booth. S50.
'l^le^e was considerable delay in getting them in line.
Tnej- broke away twice together, but the starterfailed
to drop his flag, which so exasperate*! tiie spectators
that they again gave expression to their impatience
with »heir feet. Eight limes did the horses attempt
4a_break off, and finally the bridle of Wash Booth
gave way, causing another delay of 10 minutes. In
the meantime the jockeys had all dis-
mounted, and the horses were walked
about. After 11 attempu altogether, Mr.
Pnryear dropped his flag while Baden Baden
was turned the other way. and consequently was l*sf t
behind. The hisses of the people were showered
npon the starter from every part of the stand be-
cause of his shameful proceedmg. Oriole was in the
lead, Wash Booth second, and Major Barker third.
Sayres got Baden Baden turned around and he ran
after the others. On the turn, St. James ran to the
front to cut out the running, and passed the quarter
pole two lengtha in advance of Onole. who was three
lengths away from Major Barker, with Wash
Booth fourth. Bazil fifth. Bush whacker sixth, Stisqne-
hanna seventh, Cloverbrook eighth, and Baden Baden
far behind. As they went along the back stretch St.
James rushed away as fast as he could, and reached
the half-mite pole something like a himdred yards in
front of Wash Booth, who was lapped at the quarter
by Major Barker, who waa a len^h before Bazll.
Coming around the lower turn ^V ash Booth got to
^e second ptaee, but St. James kept the gap open
until they came into the stretoh, when he rommencfd
to lose ground very faat, and the others closed npon
him. When he reached the judge's stand, finishing
the first mile, St. James waa showing only eight
lengths In front of Susquehanna, who waa a length
before Oriole, she beine three lengths in front of
Wash Booth, who was followed by (Cloverbrook fifth,
while Baden Baden had moved up gradually from his
place in the rear and waa running sixth. St. James
continued to fall back on the torn, aud when they
fiSRsed the quarter pole he was ahowing only two
ength* ahead of Susquehanna, who was a length
ahead of Oriole, she being two lengths in front of
Wash Booth, while Baden Baden had moved up even
with Basil. As they went along the back stretch,
Baden Baden ran throngh the field of horses as if
they were standing still, amid the oheers and shouts
of the spectators, and when they reached the half-
mile pole St. James wai leading only half a length,
Susquehanna lecond, lapped by Baden Baden, and
Wash Booth fourth. The spectatora w^ere beside
them.solvea with excitement at the magnificent show
made by Baden Baden, and his backers were in high
glee. He was coming to the front on the turn when
auddenly he dropped back and broke down in
his on fore leg. Suwiuehanna now oame
to the front by a length, with St. Jamas second and
Wash Booth third, and the backers of the Belmont
colors were in turn elated, but only for a short time,
as when the horses turned into the home stretch,
Major Barker and Bazil moved np fast« fol-
lowed by Bushwacker, and it became doubt-
ful as to the result. As they approached the
stand it looked as if Major Barker would win,
but Bazil was with him, and the pair were lapped at
the four mile distance stand, and the others were
beaten. In the run home Evans brought Bazil to the
front and vron the race by a short length in 3:'iS^.
Major Barker was a length before Bushwacker,
who was just abend of Susquehanna fourth, St.
James fifth. Wash Booth sixth. The first mile was
run in l:4.d^. Ko race ever gave more dissatisfac-
tion, aud the *' blessings" showered upon the de-
voted head of the starter will not be easily forgotten
by him.
THE MILE AND A HALF RACE.
The third event was the mile and a half for all
ages, to carry 100 potmds, which had four entries,
but Tom Ochiltree having been scratched, the only
starters were Parole, Vlrglnius, and Glasgow. It
was considered a one-sided affur, and Parole sold for
$350, Virginlus $175, and Glasgow $80. The race
being a mile and a half, they were mustered at the
half-mile pole, and Mr. Crouse officiated as starter.
He soon sent them on their journey, when Parol©
shot away in the lead, and was soon leading Vir-
ginlus by a length and a half, and tliV^lstter was the
same distance in front of Glasgow. Parole kept cut-
ting out the work round tne ttim and up the
stretch. and Evans finding the psoe too
hot for Virginlus, took a pull and al-
lowed Glasgow to take the second posi-
tion. When "^they reached the stand Parole was a
length in front of Glasgow, who waa three-quarters
of a length before Vlrginius, who was under a pull.
Going round the^tum Parole began to leave his com-
-petitors, and reached the quarter pole two lengths
ahead of Glasgow, who was a len^^ in advance of
Virginlus. Going along the baok stretch, Evans
found that it would not do to wait any longer, and
was obliged Xn let Virginlus have his head. Ho
'Soon passed GhM^gow, but Ms efforts to catch
Parole were in vain. At the half-mile
pole the latter was leading two lengtha,
Virginlus being the same distanee Khea^f Glasgow.
TEE PMJLADELPBIA EXHIBTTIOy.
The Philadelphia Tinux of Tuesday speaks aa
follows of the Permanent £xhtbition : " The manage-
ment is being thoroughly reorganized, and in a few
days an official statement of the financial condition of.
the show will be published. The company vras started
with a nominal capital of $600,000, consisting en-
^rX "^'^^TV^^ '^'^ U^ltT^ ^?.«f £lu^^ C^,a^ round Ihe lower turn Parole opined a ga'p of
nlal Board of Finance. But for the adverse decisio^ fi;TlS<H.h«. and aia.«»r fell six leniths behiid th«
of the Supreme Court this would bo worfh about
$480,000, but its value now hardly exceeds $160,-
000. In addition to this are cash subscriptions to
stock amounting to $105,000, making a total of
$i6e,000, which is only $15,000 more than tho
cost of the Main Building. The show has not paid
pensea- The average dally number of admissions has
been about 2,500, but fulhr 1,000 of these have been
recorded by the 600 exhibitors and emploves of the
Exhibition, there being about 100 of the latter class.
The average daily cash receipts Imve therefore been
only about $375, while the average dc^ly expense*
have been about $450, of whleh $100 went for ad-
vertising."

The eoneluding event of this truly eventful day
was a selling race of a mile and an el^th for all ages,
which bad seven entries, and the following six came
to the front : Maritime, Dan K, Partnership, Oriole,
Cardinal WoUey, and Lady Salyers. Partnership
was the favorite, at $200; Oriole, $160; Dan K.

ORGAinZED 0PP06IT10K TO TBE WISH
OP THE PRIEST.
A great deal of excitement prevaila In the
town of Vineland, K. J., over the conduct of a Oath-
olio priest who has announced adeterminatlon to
remove from the cemetery of his parish the body of
a man who died recently without having attended
to certain duties prescribed by the religion
he professed. The priest is the Bev.
Father Virot, Pastor of the Church of
the Sacred Heart. He is an Italian by birth, and
ministers to a congregation composed in great part
of his countr^'men. The dead man was Joseph Mag-
^oli, also an Italian. He had been sick for 18
months previous to his death. Though he always
acknowledged himself a member of the Koman Cath-
olic Church, he neglected to make a confession of
his sins at last Eastertide, and he died without hav-
ing received the rite of extreme unction, the last
sacrament of his church. During hia sicknees his
family became impoverished, and his wife, a frail and
sickly woman, had great difficulty to provide^or his
needs and those of four yoimg children. At the time of
his death his hotise was almost destitute of furni-
ture, and he left no means to defray the expenses of
his funeral. Some of his countrymen, actuated by a
benevolent feeling, aided hia family for some time,
and one of them, Mr. Joseph Sanguinltta, a com-
paratively well-to-do man, li^'lng on liandis-
avenue, paid for the srave in which
Maa^ioli's body was Interred- Mr. John Moran, one
of tho Trustees of tho Koman Catholic Church, re-
ceived the money for the grave, and no objection was
made by Father Vivet to the interment of Mag-
gioli's body in "consucrated ground." Between
Aug. 4, when the funeral took place, and last
Friday, A\ig. 10, the pastor appears to have deter-
mined that the bodv ought not to repose with the
bones of " faithful^' CathoUca. On the latter date
he wrote to Mrs. Maggioli requesting her, "through
courtesv" merely, to remove her husband's bray
from the X^thoUc Cemetery beeause Maggtou
had ' * died without having attended to his
Easter duty, and without calling for a
priest during his sickness." Father vlvet also
informed the poor widow that unless the corpse was
exhumed before Monday, Aug. 13. he would have It
taken up, and charge the expense to her. This notice
was ser^'ed by a constable, which fact In-
tensified her fear and sorrow. She burst
into tears, and declared that she had no
means to defray the expense of exhtmjing the body.
She declared that there was no real reason on the
score of relitdon for the removal of his corpse, as her
husband had always been a CathoU'*, and only failed
to ask the nUnlstry of a priest in his ainkness, be-
cause he did not susnect that he was going to die.
The situation of tne poor woman, and the bigoted
action of the priest, were brought first to the notice
of the Italian Society, and afteiward to that of the
citizens of Vineland generally, and it was determined
by them Uiat the body should not be tonched.
A lawyer was employed, who immediately
wrote to Father • Vivet, notifying him
not to disturb the body, nor cause it to bo disturbed,
on penalty of punishment in accordance with the
provision of paragraph 122 of the Revised Statutes
of the State of New-Jersey. The penalty prescribed
is a fine of $2i,(K)0, or imprisonment at hard labor
for five years, or both, at the discretion of the court.
The Italians held an important meeting in Vine-
land on Sunday, at which steps were taken to pre-
vent the Catholic priest, by legal or other means,
from carrying out his threat of exhuming the
remains of Maegioll. Father Vlvet visited
Newark on Monday to consult Bishop Corrigan,
but the result of tHe visit is not known. He U at
S resent nncommunicative, but evidently dings to his
etermlnation to procure the removal of the body.
He baa abandoned hia first position, and now claims
that there was a prior sale oi the grave, whleh invali-
dates Mrs. Ma^gioll's rixht. The Italians, and In
fact all the inhabitants of ' Vineland, are determined
to resist the exhumation of the body.

The forty-sixth annual session of the New-

opened yesterday on the old grounds at Sing
Sing. In consequence of the unfavorable weather,
the attendance was not as large as an-
ticipated by the managers of the meeting.
However, during the early part of the afternoon
vehicles of every description began to arrive, con-
taining bedding, sofas, tables, and eamp-stoola, which
the-occupants of the nnmeroua tents immediately be-
gan to arrange In their canvass habitations. Yester^
day over 100 tents had been erected, a larger number
than had been seen on tho grounds for a number
of years. During the afternoon the hacks at
the depot were in great demand by large numbers of
people from surrounding towns journeying to the
camping gnmnds. The congregations prlndpally
taking an active part in the meeting are uxose
belonging to the JJew-Vork and New- York East Con-
ferences. Joel Sammia and Rev. A. C. Morehouse
compose the Managing Oommitteo, and the religious
exercises are tmder the direction of Rev. Dr.
James Porter, of the New-Kngland Conference,
who will preside at all of the services.
The principal stand, and the one from which most of
the sermons will be delivered, is in front of the vesti-
bule of a frame builalnp, where during the course of
the meeting the officiating minuiters will lodge and
board. A restaurant and numerous refreshment
booths are erueted on the grounds, and all sorts of
temperance drinks can be obtained. The expenres of
the meeting, it is expected, will be defrayed by the
yearly rental received from the occupants of the cot-
tages and lessees of the tents, and by the contribu-
tions taken up at each of the services.
There will be three services during the day ; one at
10 o'clock A- M^another at 2 o'clock P. M., and
another at 7:45 P. M. The exereisea will consist of
sacred music, the reading of the Scrintures, and
preaching. At the conclusion of tho regular services
prayer meetings will be conducted In diiferent parts
of the grove by laymen. The open-
air auditorium in front of the ptupit,
will comfortably seat over 2,000 persons, and several
hundred more can be accommodated in the aisles and
open spaces. Amone the ecclesiastical dignitaries of
the Methodist Episcopal Chtirch who are expected to
be present while the meeting Is in progress are Bishops
Harris and Foster. Among the clergymen present
yesterday were Rev. Dr. Fowler, editor of tbe Ohris-
tian Advocate ; Rov. Mr. Taylor, of New-Rochelle ;
Hev. Dr. Charles K- True, of Flushing, Long
Island, uid Rev. Dr. Sims, of Brooklyn.
There was also present an old gentleman who was
one of the original subscribers to the fund for the
purchase of the ground, and who has attended al-
most evcrj' camp-meeting for tbe last 46 years held
under tho atispices of the association since its incep-
tion.
The meeting was opened at 3 o'clock in the after-
noon in the tabernacle, the open air meeting having
been abandoned on account or the dampness of the
ground. Di response to the tolling of a bell about
150 persons assembled. The sei-vices w^e opened
by Rev. Mr. Hunt, who, after the singing of a hymn,
made a very fervent. J)r^,er, during the course of
which the male portion of his hearers became consid-
erably agitated, and interrupted him with ejacula-
tions of "Amen." "Hallelujah," Jtc. At its conclu-
sion Dr. C. K. True preached, taking his text from
the eleventh verse of the thirteenth chapter of St.
Paul's Epistle to the Romans.
In the evening another service, which was well at-
tended by the persons present on tbe grounds^ waa
held.
The "Widow Van Cott has been invited to preach,
and has signified her willingness to do so on Friday
next. It IS expected that a very large assemblage
will be present to hear her discourse. It la believed
that to-day all of the cottages and tents will be filled
and the meeting fully under way. The groimds are
beautifully located, and every aaoommodation is
afforded the vixitora. The meeting will be pro-
longed for 10 days-

AlbaXT, Aug. 14. — ^Following lire nine of
the Bemi-anniul reports of the City swings
banks, as made to the Superintendent of tbe
Banking Department, showing their condition
on the morning of the 1st day of July, 1877.
From the indication!, the present July state-
ment will be a pleasing one to tlie patrons of
these institntlans. Comparisons are made,
with the reports of Jan. 1, 1877, of the three
most important items, namely : Due depoaitora,
surplus, and number of - open aecounto. The
present reports are the first made under the
provisions of the General Savings Bank law, as
amended Hay 10, 1877. Though passed in
May, the amendment did not take effect until
July 1, 1877. The law as it now stands pro-
hibits the payment to depositors of a rate of
interest in excess of 5 per cent, per annum, and
whenever any dividen^or interest shall be de-
clared and credited in excess of the interest or
profits earned and appearing to the credit of the
bank, the Trustees voting for such dividend shall
be jointly and severally liable to the bank for the
amount of such excess so declared and credited.
it also Tnakes it the duty of the Trustees of any
savinfp? bank whose surplus amounts to 15 per
cent, of its deposits, at least once in three years,
to divide equitably the accumulation beyond
such authorised surpliLS as an extra dividend to
depositors in excess of the regular dividends.
In determining surplus its interest-paying stocks
and bonds cannot to estimated above tbeir par
value or atwve their market value if below par ;
bonds and mort(rages not in arrears of interest
for a longer period than six months .shall be es-
timated at their face, and Its real estate at not
above cost. The Superintendent of the Bank-
ing Department is required to determine the
valuation, from tbe best information he can ob-
tain, of the stocks or bonds and mortgages that
are in arrears of interest six months or more.
He is also required to determine the valne
of all other Investments not enumerated.
It further provides that each savings bank
shall make a report in writing to the
Superintendent of the Banking Department
in such form as he shall prescribe, of its con-
dition on the mornings of January and Jtily 1
of each year, said reports to be made qp or be-
fore February and Aug. 1. It also makes
it the duty of the Trustees of savings banks,
by a committee of not less than three of their
number, on or before tho lat day of Janaary
and July in each year, to examine tbe books,
vouchers, and assets, and its afEairs generally,
and such examination shall be verified by the
oath of a majority of the Trustees making
such examinatiou, and the statement of asseta.
and liabilities reported to the Superintendent
shall be based on such examination. The last
provision, which is really cjje of the most
wholesome of the amended law, requires the
Trustees, as often as once in each six months,
to cause to be taken an accurate balance ot their
depositors' ledgers, and if any discrepancies
exist between tne amount due to depositors, as
shown by such balances, and the amount due
to depositors, as shown by their general ledger,
the fact is to be reported to the Superintendent
of the Banking Department in their semi-an-
nual reports. Had this provision been earlier
made a portion of the Savings Bank law some
of the faUores of the past three years would,
doubtless, have been averted.

A BIRD THAT WALTZES.
The Kingston Freeman has the following^ story
aboat a bird in the ooUection of a dealer in that city :
"This bird is a bobolink, and, it seems, took as
Datan&lly to d&neing as a country maiden at an apple
bee. He la a very sprightly bird, and thoagb his
owner knew he wits sometbhig more than an ordinary
bird, he had no idea that he could waltz, tuitiltOQe
day, while whistling a German 'tune, the bird sud-
denly cocked his head to one side, and with a kfTow-
Jtiif look and a lively ' Bobolink, bobolink, spink,
spank, Spink,' commenced to w&Itx, tAkinf a resrular
step of 'one, two, three,' as thoogh he had in bis
minds eye even the artlatic rules of tbe dancing
miuiter. His evolutions were very graceful, the
whirl each time l>ein§ made off the perch, as it were,
only his toes tonehin^ as he twirled himself eom-
pletely around. This is a good illustration that our
American birds are fully aa wise as those in the old-
country, if not more so, for this one at least had
never been taught as the Oerxoan birds are. The
dancing bird is moulting now. but when he again re-
covers the elifillcity and rlcor of his body, he will,
no doubt, give some new exhibition of tcrpsichoreau
skill."
AKOTBER KENTUCKY MAD-STONE.
The Loaisvillo Courier-tTournal says: *• Mr.
Hsrry B. PhilUpa, who resides on Third, between
Breckinridge and Kentncky streets, brought to this
office yesterday a mad-.stone weighing about three
ounces, which he said liad been preserved by his
family for nearly 50 years. The mad-stone bears a
little resemblance to the honeycomb, except that it
Is oone-fihap'ed, the cells at the hiUe having thick
walls, but gradually merging into a more solid sub-
stance as they approach the apex. The stone has a
broad, smooth surface at the base, and within the
little cells there is a delicate fibrous substance resem-
bling the pith of some vegetable product. Mr. Phil-
lips said tne stoue was once used oy an aunt of his
wlio was bitten by a rabid dog. The stone was first
dipped in milk and then applied to the wound. It
stuck to the part like a leech until all the vims was
absorbed, ana then dropped. It was then placed in a
vessel containing hot water, and qnickly a. dark
greenish substance arose from it and spread over the
surface, this being the test that the wound waa filled
with the virus o7 the mad.dog. The lady recovered
from the wound without asymptom of hydrophobia."
A WIFE'S PRESEyilMEyr.
The following atory is told by the Phila-
delphia Record of Monday : "fFor some time prior to
Friday last a man named Israel Rauenzahn was em-
ployed as a brakaman on a Quaker-engine at the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad siding, at Read-
ing, and on the dajr in qnestion he was to have taken
an iron ore train in the place of a sick mate. Prior
to leaving home in tbe morning liis wife ui^ed him
not to go. remarWngthat shenad dreamed in the
night that an aceident was about to happen to him.
He lau^bed at her fears and reached the train in
safety. Shortly afterward he had to uncouple a por-
tion of the train while the cara were In motion.
While engaged In this duty he was suddenly thrown
off the rfSr by the locomotive increaKing its sjMed,
and, Jailing on the track with his head over the ndl.
It waa severed from the body."
A RUNAWAY JSTAQE-OOACH.
The PhiUdolphia Record says : " The three-
horse Btage-eoaeh which runs daily from Flaaaant-
ville to Beading had prooeedod but a little distance
on ita loomey on Saturdny morning, when the
bit of the near hind horse suddenly cnapped.
Thia frightened the horse, and the night
commuuicfttins: to the others, the team dashed off at
a terrible pace, deranging the lock arwi brake of the
converanee. There were 14 paa.^ngers, men and
women, and of these one-half jai]^>ed Into the road,

QUEER OPERATIOSS WITH: A DRAFT.
The Buffalo Commercial Adveriiser of Monday
fays: "On tho 6th of last month a stranger called
at the Marine Bank of this city, and obtained a draft
tor $12 on the B&nk of Korth America, payable to
the order of H. J. "Walker. A week later another
■tran^r called at the same bank and obtained a dtvf t^
on Kew-York for$L200, also payable, to the order
of H. S. Walker, and drawn on the Hank of North
America. On the 20th the individnal who got thfi _
last-mentioned draft, called at the Marine .Bank, aaid
he was unable to nae the draft as he bad intended,
and asked that the enrrency be refunded to him for
it. The teller recofnizing him as the person who
had purchased the draft gave him the money as re-
queeted, and handed the draft to the book-keeper who
entered it on the boolcs as paid and put it into ^^-^
drawer of canceled vouchers. Some days after il]|
it wafl dinrovered that the draft of tho 6th for S> - -
had been cleTwrly altered to $ L 200, and a dascnprion
of it was furnished the Marine Bank ty ths
Bank of North America, in Its monthly statement.
Thia led to an investigation, and it was found that the
altered note waa negotiated at Strathroy. Ontario,
with Measrs. A. Johnston & Co., bankers at that .
place, who aent it to ihetr ^ents in Kew-York,
Meaars. Smitber Si Watson, who had it certified on
on the 10tfa, and adviaod Johnston k Co. by telwra^
of Ita payment. Johnston A Co. then settled with
Walker tor tbe draft, and that individual left for
parta tmknowix Messrs. Bmither & Watson d<h
posited the draft in the Bank of New-York, froni
whence It passed throuca the Clearing-house and
waa paid by the Bank of North America on the 20th.
'nie <Iraft negotiated here and the one negotiated at
Strsthroy, Ontario, were not signed in the aama faaad'
writing, and there waa probably a oonfedssato al
eadi pSsea. It Is undervtood. in aeeordanea witb *

jJiai^ with thft liiy»«tig»tion of OoUectop Free-
bud's offlc«, caOad on th* CoUeetor yestardax xnoxn-
hig ftod infoTzosd Um that Ur. SUvenxum, by* whom
the duttgM hsT« been signed, would not be prepared
to take part in the Inreitlgatioa before Satiuday.
The Collector replied that he wa« ready then, and
had beea all along, to turn over his books and papers
to any ofHeer of the Qoremment for inspection.
Mr. Brooks explained that it had not been his fanlt
that the examinatioa had not already taken place.
The charges liad been preferred by Mr. Silvezman,
KndtlLat gentleman had asked for time to enable h^-m
to mbetantiate them. Hence the delay. It appears
now that there wUlbeno investigation at all. The
plmn. that is to be adopted Is this : Hr. Silverman will
tobmit siOdavits in support of Us charges.
Oopiei of these affidavits will be fnr-
bUhed to Collector Freeland, together with
the names and residences of the witnesses
whom Mr. Silverman will allege he can prodnee. Mr.
freeland will then read over Hr. Silverman's affida-
Tlts, and take his own time and his own way to ascer-
tain if there is any fonndation for the assertions
which they may contain. Having satisfied himself
that they are based on erroneous premises in every
material particnlor, Mr. Freeland will sit down and
write counter-affidavits to that eifect, will get the
oamefl and residences of his witnesses, and will
band the documents to Mr. Brooks. Mr. Brooks
wUl then eaose copies of them to be made for the
benefit of Mr. Silverman, who in turn will take liis
own time and his own wav to find outif Mr. Freeland
Is not entirely mistaken (n what he wUl have sworn
to. When both parties have got through with their
affidavits, the doooments will be forwarded to C^^ti.
Green B. R&um, Commissioner of. In tern i^
Revenue. He will read them over^. examine
the principal witnesses on both sides, and
then render a decision. This plan is jajd to have
orieinated with Sir. Silverman, who seems to think it
vill occupy less time, and will prove more satis-
ftictory thaii the old way, of an authorized agent of
the Ciovemment listening to testlmonv and writing
ont a long report. Collector Freeland is not alto-
gether favorably impressed with the new scheme,
preferrlDg that Mr. Brooks or some other official
■hould make a thorough personal inspection of his
books and accounts, and then summon and examine
all the witnesses he sees fit. The Collector and his
accuser will meet on Saturday, however, tmd the
question will then be definitely settled.
Complaints a^rainst the Collector's ofSee are made
In the newspapers every day. One correspondent, a
dgar-maker. claims that he is compelled to pay $3
when he makes a bond, and tliat when he pets per-
mission from the Collector's office to let his yearly
license mn a few days over the time he is taxed
$7 50 for the privilege. Mr. Freeland denies all
knowledge of the charges for bonds, but says
that the law compels him to ijiflict a penalty of oO
per cent, in cases whore taxes are not paid within a
specified time. Another chaise against the Collector
Is preferred by a man who bought a number of sec-
ond-hand beer- barrels with unerased stamps ontliem.
While he was Kcraping the stamps off a Deputy Col-
lector seized all the barrels that did not at the mo-
ment happen to be scraped, and carried them off.
This man has sued the Collector for his property.
Speaking of this case, Deputy Collector Boone says
he was instructed by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue to seize the barrels, as the purchaser had no"
right under the law to take them into his place l>e-
fnre the stamps had been removed. Collector Free-
hihd says all the other charges contain even less point
than these, and can be more easilv refuted.
STEAM-BOAT DISASTEES.
i>lCISI02TS OP THE LOCAL INSPECTORS IK
THBEE RECENT CASES — TEMPORABY SUS-
PENSIONS OP MASTERS AND PILOTS.
- Messrs. Austin Jayne and John K. Mathews^
the local Steamboat Inspectors, of No. 23 IHne-
stToet, have, under section 4,550 of the Revised
Btatntea, recently held an Investigation in regard to
the grounding of the steam-boat Xorwalk on the night
of the 22d of hwt July, off Bedloe's Island, and they
have also made formal Inqoiries concerning
the colUslons of the tug-boats J. X. Thomp-
•on and Commmodore Dur>-ea, in the
East River, near Xowtown Creek, on the
25th of July, and of the passenger steam-
boats City Point and Narragansett, by the_pler of the
latter boat oa the 2tith of June. The local Inspec-
tors, as a resolt of these investigations, have now
handed to Mr. E. Piatt Stratton, the Supervising In-
sX>ector of Steam-boats of the Second United States
District, their reports and decisions in the several
' eases. In regard to the grounding of the steam-boat
Korwalk, the local Inspectors asc^prtained during
theirinqniry, which began on the fil antt-ended on
the 4th inst., that the steam-bo^ .left Bay Ridge
bonnd for Now- York Citv on the alfht of the. 22d of
Jnly. at 9:47 o'clock, "the ni«ht was misty and she
proceeded cautiously np c he Bay -, but the fog be-
came very dense, and finally the boat grounded on
the Jersey Flats, off Bedloe'.s Island. The tide was
then at ebb. All efforts to float the .vessel were un-
availing nntU the tide rose sufficiently, which it did
between 4 and 5 o'clock the following morning. She
then proceeded to her dock and landed her paasen-
gers (n safety.
While the steamer was yet agronnd, however, some
of the pa.<»engt:r3 pruposed to take one of the small
boats and go ashore. They discovered tliat there
were no oars or thole-plns in the boat, and a couple
of paddles were improvised, and the boat, with tliree
fiassengers, each of whom had a life preserver, left
he Bteamer and disappeared in the fog. No trace of
the boat or its passeugers has since been found, and
It is not known whether they j:E»ched.the shore or
sot. There i*; no evidence which shows that the boat
was overcrowded. The Inap^toxs present their de-
cision in the following shapd-':
" "We find that Xdwin Hillver, master, la guilty of
negiect for allowinK the small bbata to be without their
proper equipment, ror-whieh we naanend big boense as
maMer aod pitAt far the tana of 6U days from date, and
it Is hereby Buapended. "We also ceiifiure James L. Crane.
pflot, for running the boat la m tog without taking the
proper sooztdings, for which we aospend his license as
pilot for the term of 30 days from diUe, and It is hereby
so suspended.
"We also And that the Btf^mer was fuUV equipped inj
aecordante with the requirements of the law on lhe~8th^
of June the date of the' last lasi>ection." '
The investigation Into the collision of the Narra-
gansett and the City Point began on the 24th of Jnly
and eloaed on the 30th. The Inspectors listened to
Binch conflicting and contradictory evidence. The
Gty Point, they aa<'ertained, was on her return
trip from the Fishing Banks, and had landed part of
her passengers at Pier No. 2. North River, and was
proceeding up the river to land again at Pier No. 52.
jforth River. When off Pier No. 29 the pilot heard
a long whistle, which he found proceeded from the
steamer Narragansett, which was lying^n the lower
aide of Pier No. 33, her stem 6eing about
40 feet inside the end of the pier.
The pilot of the City Point blew two whistles, and
** hove his wheel hard a starboard, " that Is to say he
steered the boat toward the left hand out into the
river. The Narragansettblew one whistle, and started
ahead at full speed- The pilot of the City Point tJien
Tnng to " stop and back, " Imt the enjrine had only
xoaoe half a revolution back when he saw that it
■would be impossible to stop in time to avoid a col-
Usion, as it was flood tide ; so he rang to go ahead,
hopingto be able to cross-the bow of the Narragan-
•ett. The pOot of the Narragansett, after leavina;,
the slip, rans to back the en^dne, but not in
time to avoid a collision. She struck the
City Point about amidships forward her shaft, cut-
ting her guards through to the hoU and canying

A higbXj colored romance waa revealed yed-
' terday afternoon in the Jefferson Marke't Police
Conrt In the case of the State against Pedro and
Freeman. Aimer Pedro la a good looUng mulatto,
t^ and graeefol, and a waiter at the Stortevant
House. Two years ago. while taking his annoal va-
cation at Boston, he met and loved an octoroon
named Clara Rosalia Virginia, whom Justice Wan-
dell yesterday pronounced "too pretty to be in any
other conrt than the one she was wooed and won in."
Pedro married Rosalia and brought her to this City.
Everything went on well enough nntH about two
months ago, when, Pedro says, he realized that his
small earnings were " totally insufficient" to support
Rosalia as she " had a right to be kept." He th^e-
f ore looked about for the meaiu of bettering him-
self. Rosalia came to the rescue. She said that,
havine been educated In Boaton, ahe had acquired
the art of writing rapidly, and would no doubt be
able, as she was willing, to &11 some position in a
newspaper office as either copyist or contributor.
John James Freeman, editor of the colored i>eo-
ple's organ called the Progressive American, oifered
her a good position in the office of that
paper, at N'o. 133 West Thirtieth-street, and she
gladly accepted it. Everybody in the office soon be-
came attached to the fair octoroon on account of her
ladylike qualities, and her employer spoke so highly
of her that her husband, Pedro, got jealous. The
more encomiums he heard passed upon his wife the
deeper grew his Jealousy. He lately began to coll
several times a day upon his wife whiles she was en-
gaged at work, and made himself generally dlsasree-
able by his suspicious and prying manner. About
noon yesterday he called as usual, and asked Bosalia
to go out with him. She refnsed, because
she could not apare the time, and Pedro,
seized with a violent fit of jealousy, caught her by
the skirts and pulled hertoward him. She screamed.
Freeman, attracted by her cries, ran in where the
couple were, and, ateppii^t up to Pedro, said: "Mr,
Pedro, do not dare to strike or harm that woman!'.
Pedro, in reajjonse, asked him " if it was any of his
funeral. " Freeman retired into the front omce and
Pedro followed him. Just as Pedro reached the door
of the apartment Freeman presented a pistol at him,
and hepicked up a cane, with which he knocked the
weapon-out of the editor's hand. Freeman then
grasped Pedro by the throat, and, throwing him upon
a sofa, proceeded to pound him vigorously. Pedro
was the stronger of the two. however, and succeeded,
by striking upward, in closing both of Freeman's ejres
with well-directed blows.
Rosalia spent all this time in screanung for help,
and succeeded in attracting a crowd and one police-
man. The officer arrested both men and took them
before Justice Wendell. The Justice heard both
sides, and then called Rosalia to testify. Her testi-
mony convinced her husband of the groiffidlesiness
of his jealousy, and he became repentant of his mis-
conduct. Each of the prisoners was fined $10, and
as neither bad the money both were locked up.
They went into the prisoners' box on ap-
parently good terms. When they got there
they began to search their pockets for funds.
Freeman had $9— just $1 short. Pedro had $2.
So with great magnanimity he said to his recent
rival : " Here is the dollar you need ; go and pay
your fine-" Freeman accepted the money, and went
out and settled with the court. Justice AVandell
■asked him if he did not think it mean to gti out with
Kosalia and leave her husband in jail. Freeman re-
plied that he was going out to raise money to pay
Pedro's fine, and told of his loan of $1, and also said
that Rosalia was '"too high-toned to go ont imder
the circumstances," but would remain until her hus-
band got his liberty. Rosalia sat there until 5
o'clock waiting for Freeman's return : but the court
closed with Pedro's account unliquidated, and Clara
Rosalia Pedro departed in tears for her desolate
home.
DABKSESS Oy PARKA VENUE.
COMPLAIKTS OP KEGLECT AGAINST THE DE-
PABTIIENT OF PARKS — A PETITION WHICH
WAS KOT QRAXTED — MB. MELLEK'S STATE-
MENT OP GRIEVANCES.
'^inc© about the beginning of the year the
lamps around the Park-avenue parks have not beAi
lighted, and property -owners along the street ad-
dressed the Park Commissioners upon the subject in
April last. Mr. A. Mcllen, Jr.. of th« lirm of ilellbu
&Co.,Xo3. 1-1 i and 1-1-4 WortU-sti-eot, one of thn
parties interost^^fr gi^'^^ a stati-ment of thuir griev-
ances substantially as follows: When the i'ounh-
avenue tunnel was built, property-owners along the
strt et gave 20 feet of ground on each aide in order
that the street might not be made too narrow
by the necessary optfulncrs over the tnnnel.
The street thus became 1-40 feet wide, and it was
understood that the City would keep the "parks,"
as they are called, in order and the lamps lighted.—
The action of property-holders in relinqnishius a
portion (Jf their laud was in nearly everj case volun-
tary, although, with a few exceptions, they were
subsequently remtinerated by a Board of Appraisers.
As already intimated, the lamps were kept lichted
until about the first of this year. About six months
ago the lamps, not being in use. were taken away
for preservation. ^ On the 25th of April a
petition was dfttfn up and sign&d by near-
ly all the property-holders on the street.
Tliis petition was addressed to the Park C^mmls-
aiouers and requested tliat the lighting of the lamps
be resumed. The petitioners anticipated the argu-
ment that funds were wanting by urging that work
in the public parks be curtailed, and that the com-
pamtively trifling amount necessary (about $210)
for the remaiiider of the year be u*ied as reqnented.
A few names were signed to the pajter " as to the
request, but not as to tlie argument." Mr. Mellen
says he carried the petition to the Comutissloners'
office, but failed to find Mr. Martin ; that he made
three or four separate appointments with the Secre-
tary to meet Mr. Martin, but that nono of them were
kept by the latter.
The petition was finally placed in Mr. Martin's
hands, and at the meeting of the board on July 11
he reported adversely, saymsf tl-.at the board had no
funds with which to meet the expense, and that the
petitioners should apply to the Gas Commission.
This report was approved. Previous to this, on June
2d, Mr. Martin addressed a reply to the petitioners
which was to the same purport as the report. In it
he referred to a communication from him to the Gas
Commission, dated March 10. in wblch he sug-
gests that a fair interpretation of the law
would give the control of the lamps in the
parks and squares, as well as along the streets.
to the commission. This action Mr. Mellon
regards as an attempt on tlie part of the
Coinniis-'doners to shirk a responriibility which the
department itself assumed. In this opinion Jlr. Me-
Cormick, Superintendent of the Bureaii of Lamps
and tfas, fully concurs, saying that when the Bopart-
ment of Parks assumed full control it bi-gau to erect.
alter, or remove lamps without, even consulting his
department, which finally ordered the gas companies
to transfer the accounts for all lamps not actually on
the streets and aveaaes to the Park I>epHrtment.
The accounts for the lamps in the Park-avenue parks
were so transferred on the 1st of January, 187a.
Mr. Mellen says that Park-avenue is ui a great de-
cree rendered unsafe by the ab.scnce uf the liglits re-
ferred to ; that the liKUts on either side of the street
are not strong enough to serve for the centre ; that
wagons are liable tu be run against the ratlings, and
that evil-doers are enabled to jtimp the railings, and
drop, unperceived by the pursuing Police, into the
tnnneL Mr. William Irwiu, Secretary of the De-
partment of Public Parks, was questioned yesterday.
as to the matters stated above. He admits that
the lamps in question should be lighted, bnt says
there is no appropriation available ; that the De-
partment, being obliged to curtail expenses, has en-
deavored to do so where the least injury wonld be
done, and tliat among such places were the Faxk-
avcnue parks.

THS ARKANSAS BOXJ>BOL2>ESS.
Up to yesterday afternoon the signatures of
lioldeis of 91,800,000 of Arkansas State bonds had
been received at the Bank of the State of New-York
to an agreement to compromise with the State. The
bonds intexBstad form, only a portion of tha State
debt, and are : Old unfunded 5 and 6 per eebt.
bonds, $493,225; funded debt bonds of 1869 and
1870, 94,285,530; railroad aid bonds, $7,334,395,
and levee bonds, 92,820,682. The agreement,
which appears to emanate from the Ixindholders,
proposes to exchange those bonds for new State
bonds to run 30 years, interest to be — first year, 2
per cant. ; second year, 3 per cent. ; third year, 4
per enil, and after that 6 per cent, the first semi-
ftontuil payment to be made in Jul^, 1878, the t>oada
to be secm^ by a provision snidlar to tJiat se-
eoxbiff the " Ijougfabozmicb" bonds, the old imfunded
or 9670 for each 91,000, except that poitlaB known
astbc "Holford*' bonds; these to be exchanged at
the rate of 38 percent, or 9380 w 91,000, and
the levee and nuroad aid bonds to ot exduuued at
the rate of 19 per cent., or9190 per 91,000. Messrs.
John D. Adams, of Uttle Roc^, and J. K Redfleld,
of Essex, Conn., figure as the originators of the pro-
position. 'Lbey agree, provided a suffldent number
of the bonds come into the arrangement prior to
July 10, 1378, to do their best to secure the sanc-
tion of liie State authorities, and effect the eichanze
witfaont further expense to the bondholders. The
terms mentioned are greatly Ln excess of the market
Tslue of the bonds. Tne nUlroad aid bonds have
beosi declared unconstitutional and void by the Su-
preme Court of the State, and ar* seUinz at 4 to 5
per cent. onlv. The levee bonds, about whose legal-
ity there is lUso some dispute, are quoted at about
the same flgprer The "Holford" bonds are mostly
owned in England. Comparatively few Arkansas
bonds are held in this City. The State has made no
advances on wblch to base any hope of the sncoets of
the project, and no provision has been made by the
Tjeglslature for the issuance of any 30-year bonds of
the character of those which the bondholders in the
scheme indicate their willingness to accept.
BROOKLYN BAVARIANS.
THE SECOND DAT OP THS FESTIVAL IN
UYBTLE-AVSNUE PABK. — THE PASTIUES
OP THE PESTIVAL-KAKEES.
The first day of the Bayarlan festival in the
Myrtle-Avsnoe Park, in Brooklyn, closed at mid-
night on Monday, and the sports were renewed with
undiminished ardor at 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
when women and girls, in the costumes of the peas-
antry, or else attired as creatures of mythology, be-
gan to arrive in the street cars or on foot. There was,
dtiring the morning, also a sprinkling of women who
had come simply to look on, and wore their ordinary
frocks, with, perhaps, a trifle more of finery than
usual; and there were hundreds of vety happy childrem
Aa the day wore on, the men and boyi began to come,
too ; the Bavarian infantry, who wore their helmets
in spite of the heat, and the knights and cavaliers in
tinsel and velvetine. Some of the sports which had
been set down for Mondav evening were omitted be-
cause it rained then, and these were added to yes^
terday's procramme, which was consequently a very
full one, and required the constant attention of such
of the festival-makers as wished to enjoy everything.
A small boy with a drum was kept marching from
one point in the park to another throujEhont the
afternoon, and wherever he went a jolly crowd fol-
lowed him full of expectant^, for he always went
to the place where a new show was to begin. The
park wore the aspect of a continental fair ground,
with booths scattered all over the Inclosureand
brass bands playing German dance music incessantly.
The dancing platform had some dancers upon it all
the afternoon, and In the evening it was crowded.
There was an open-air theatre where a German
comic shoemakers grievances micht be enjoyed in
■the afternoon, and there -wt^ a photograph gallery,
where, for a small coin, one might have his picture
taken with Arcadian surroundings. A panorama
of the Centennial Kxhibition grounds possessed,
even at this late day, some attraction
for the Bavarians of Williamsburg ; and in the
shootine-gallery there were exhibited, from time to
time, some of the v^ry worst specimens of marksman-
ship. It was a pleasure to hear the good-htimored
laughter when some particulurly unskulful shooter,
aiming with painful earnestness at the bull's-eye,
failed to hit the target. There was, of course, some
good shooting. During the day there was a shootina
match of young women, to the winners in which prizes
will be awarded to-morrow.
There were athletic sports also during the evening,
and some young men showed how swiftly they
could run. But the enloyable sports of the day. jn
all respects, were the pole climbing and sack racing of
youngsters for prizes. Magnificent red and vellow
handkerchiefs, suspenders, and other articles of
nlility such as thrifty German boys prize more highly
than pea-nuts or penny cigars, were fastened on a
cross-piece on the very top of a slippery pole, at
least liO feet high. Then gathered about the base of
the pole the parents and friends of the youngster
who was about to kfU two birds with one stone, and
increase his wardrobe, while exhibiting his agility ;
for If a boy could detach a pair of susjjenders or the
handkerchief from thecross-bsrandbringitdownfrom
tlie pole, the articlo was then his property. The feat
seemed to be easy enotigh, and a large number of
boys entered into the contest, to have the axiom once

Yesterday wa.^ the opening day of the annual
camp-meeting at Merrick, on the line of the Southern
Railroad, held under the auspices of the Long Island
Camp-Meeting Association, of which Mr. H. B. Phil-
lips, of Brooklyn, is President. The grounds occu-
pied and owned by the association comprise an area
of Go acres, and the meetings are held in a handsome
grove of oaks, in which the preacher's stand is sur-
rounded at regular street- Intervals by the cottages
and tents, and nearer by the seats of the congrega-
tiou, arranged in a seml-clrcIe in front. To
the west of tha grove is a large lake
which has been formed artificially from
a swampy run. nearly a quarter of a mile in extent,
and surrounded by a white graveled walk. This lake
has been excavated to a sufficient depth to admit
the use of row-boats. This and other improvements
have l>een made since la.it season, and
add much to the attractiveness of the place.
in addition to the family tents already erected, there
are a number of large prayer -meeting tents belong-
iiJK to different congregations — the Eighteenth-street
of Brooklvn. the Rockville Centre, the South Third-
street of Williamsburg, and othen. The order of ex-

UM REPORTS.
THE BOARD OF EXCISE.
The Excise Inspeotora submitted yesterday to
the Commis^oners reports relative to a Urge number
of applications for licenses referred to them for In-
vestigation. The board granted 75 licenses, about
one-half of which were for the sale of ale and beer.
Many of the applications reported upon were referred
back to the Inspectors for more thorong|^ investiga-
tion. Comparatively few of the dealers who have
made applications filed the bonds yest^ay. The
clerk of the board was instmcted to notify those wbo
have failed to ^ve bon^s that the Commissioners
cannot consider their appliearions until this require-
ment of the law is compued with. Only 44 dealers
^plied for licenses yesterday. The aggregate of the
fees denoslted was $2,155.
XmLOOKED SAFES IN A NATIONAL BANK.
Eariy yesterday morning an officer of the
Twenty-ninth Precinct, while passing the office of
the Sixth National Book, at the junction of Sixth-
avenua and Thirty-fifth-street, pferceivied tliat the
eross-bar and padlock which usually assisted to
setuze one of the large safes were not in their aecns-
tomadrilaces. He summoned a number of poticemen,
and the premises were entered and uioronghly
searched. It was f ouud that nothing had been db--
turi>ed, and it was anpareut that one of the bank
officials, after locking the safe, had forgotten to place
the bftr aoroBs the door to farther seetire It. The

THE BELL-PUNCH CONSPIRACY.
A CONDUCTOR TESTIFIES TO THE ORGANIZA-
TION OF A RING FOB THE PURPOSE OF
DEFRAUDINa THE SECONI>-AVENUE RAIL-
ROAB COMPANY— MORE ARRESTS TO BE
IfABE.
Mr. Harvey H. Wooda, Secretary of the Sec-
ond-Avenue Railroad Company, swore out warrants
in the Mfty-seventh-Street Police Conrt on Monday
for the acrett of 12 eonduetors on his line, who are
tospected of having oonS^dred together to' defraud
the railroad company of fares by tampering with the
bell-punches. Charles Kent, James Johnston, Fred-
erick Johnson, John Thomanu, David Cogim, and
George W. Keeler were arrested, and at the request
of complainant's counsel were released on parole by
Justice Flammer until such time as the other^sus-
pected persons are taken Into custody. The Affi-
davit of WiUiazn F. Abbott, a conductor, who
resides at No. 125 East Ninety-second-street, was
taken. He testified that he had been approached
by persons who wanted to know If he would
take port in a movement to rob the company, and
would pay to learn how It could be done successfully.
He agreed to join the conspirators, and was thereuiK>n
shown iftw to unlock the punch and set back the
register. The persons who taught Abbott the trick
told him that there were several other conductors in^
the ring, and that they had all agreed to pay $5 a
week each from their stealings for the privilege of
being let into the secret. It is supposed now that
Abbott informed the company of the scheme, and re-
vealed the names of all those concerned In it. The
names of those who have not beeui^rrested yet are
withheld by request. On Monday evening a man
named John. McPherson, for whom a warrant was
oat, was arrested wliile standing in front of
the Astor House, and is now locked up in the
Pifth-seventh- Street Station. He will be taken
before Justice Flammer for examinatR>n this
afternoon, but it is not probable that he
will reveal anything of consequence. Tbe auppo-
sition is that It was this man and an&thbt who Is
still at large, who initiated the conductors Into the
mysteries of the bell-punch, and explained to them
how easily it could be beaten, and if his conviction
and that of his confederate can be secured the cora-
panv will in all likelihood, let the matter drop, so far
as tne bonductors are concerned. There is a rumor
atloat that McPherson was once employed by the
Ames Manufacturing Company, of Chicopee. Mass.,
by which the punches are ma5e. and that he there
learned the secret of their construction and how
they can be rendered utterly useless for the purpose
for which they are intended. In conversation with a
TiMXB reporter yesterday McPherson said he had
not the most remote idea of what he was ar-
rested for. Hia alleged connection with the
bell-punch robberies was explained to him,
when he said that he knew nothing at all .ibout the
matter. He positively denied ever having had any-
thing to' do witEIT^tfeflc railroad company or-con--
duetor, and said he only came here recently from
Philadelphia, where he had been employed in the
maotifactnre of BrittazSPware. A fnend of his in
this City had writjfen to him saying that he could
get a situation here, and he came on for that purpose.
The railroad company, on the other hand, is confi-
dent that lie is one' of the men who approached
Abbott, and no donbt he will be confronted by the
Utter this afternoon.

In the matter of the alleged contempt of Ber-
nard J. Donahue, the leader of the Erie strikers, in
resisting Receiver Jewett, the officer of the Supreme
Court, interrogatories were filed, on the 4th inst., in
the County Clerk's office, in the form of questions aa
to his alleged acts, to which he was required to file
written answers by yesterday, in order that issue
might be joined, and the case be disi>OEed of at the
hearing which Is to take place this morning, at 10:30
o'clock, in Supreme Court, Chambers, l>efore
Judge Donohue. The answers were not filed
yesterday, and. after the Coanty Clerk's office had
closed, Mr. Macfarland, of counsel for Receiver Jew.
ctt, on being questioned as to what woald be done
to-day, said that Donahue was clearly in default in
not making an.Hwer, which amounte<l to a cmiTessinn
uf judsraient, and that jud^^ment against him would
be afked for to-day, aiid then he woald be iu
the Imuds uf the court. V* be dealt wiih In
its discretion. On inquiry last evening at ihe olHre
of Geu. Roger A. Pnor. of conns-l for Donahue, tlu^
Infonnatlon was given that no e.^tension of time for
filing the answers had l>een njiked for, and tliat nt>
intimation of what coun.sel for Donahue imendo-l
doing to-day cnuld be given beyond the fact that
it was "likely that there would be a ri^ht
lively time in court." Jud^je Donohue, on bfiug
aaketl yesterday about the batliug of Donahue, re-
5 lied that he [Judge Donohm-J had been in the
udge's private room every day recently, at frreat
personal inconvenience, »waitinc the otf'ering ot bail,
so that no reasonable fault coald be found or charge
made that bail was oflfered and the Judge was not
present to receive it. It seemed to him, considering
that Donahue had been reported to have said that he
could Ret $10,000 bail if necessary, that there was an
intention, in not offering bail, to have Donahue ap-
pear as a martyr. .
BECKER DISCUABGED FROM CTSTODT.
The case of Charles F. Becker, one of the men
charged with being Implicated In the forgery of a
$64,000 check on the Union Trust Company, was
before Jadge Sutherland yesterday lu the Court of
General Sessions. Becker, It will be remembered,
was admitted to bail on the forgery indictment
against htm in the sum of $10,000, but was immedi-
ately rearrested as he was lea\-ing the District At-
torney's office on an order of arrest granted In civil
proceedings, arising out of the same transaction.
Becker was taken to Dudlow-Street Jail. The Dis-
trict Attorney, anticipating the discnarge of the
prisoner on the civil proceedings, and fearing that the
baillnthe criminal mattermight be Invalidated by the
surrender of the accused to the Sheriif, issued a bench
warrant wvd deposited it at Ludlow-Street Jail, to be
exeoated in the event of Becker's release beiuc or-
dered. On Monday Judge Van Brunt fulfilled the ex-
pectations of the District Attorney by vacating the
order of arrest In Becker'-s case. Counsel for the
prisoner, however, knowing that tlie discharge of his
client from Ludlow-street would immediately be fol-
lowed by his learrest and incarceration in the Tombs,
permitted him to remain in custody, and yesterday
moved before Judge Sutherland for the withdrawal
of the bench warrant in the hands of the
Warden of Ludlow-Street JaU. Assistant
District Attorney Herring said he had no
official knowledge of the issuing of a bench warrant
for Becker's arre.'^t. He had no doubt that it had
simply been done as a precautionary measure, in or-
der to secure the rearrest of the prisoner, so tliat his
bond mipht be renewed, thus preventing any poshi-
bility of trouble about the bail. lie would
take* the decision of the court on the matter, how-
ever. Judge Sutherland said that the detention
of the prisoner, who had once alread v given bail, for
one moment after his release had been ordered by
the court was clearly illegal, and rendered the person
BO detaining him liable to action for illejzal Imprison-
ment. His Honor therefore ordered that the bench
warrant t>e withdrawn, which was accordingly done,
and Becker was subsequently discharged.
A LEGACY CONTESTED. ^
In the year 1S44 an aBsociatioQ of ladies coix
nected with the German Lutheran denomination in
this City was formed, under the name of "Der
Deutsche Frauen Verein," the objects being the
assistance of the needy widows, orphans, abd sick
connected with the TTnited German Ijutheran
churches of this City. In the year 1859 Mr. Chris
tian G. Gunther left $5,000 to the society, the
Interest of which was to be used for its
objects. The society not then being incorporated,
the money was placed in the custody of the Trustees
of the United German Lutheran Church of this
City, with the understanding that the interest should
be paid to the society. There is now $175 of this
interest due from the Trustees, who are willing to
pay it^ but they are confronted by two organizations
instead of only one. each claiming to be the original
one, and each demanding tha money as such. The
Tnutees, being in a dilemma, appealed to the
Court of Common Pleas for instruction,
expressing their willingness to abide by its decision.
One of the orgauizatious. both of which have sub-
stantially the same name, is presided over by Mrs.
Christlana M. Bohm, and characterizes the other one,
of whl(^ Mrs. Anna Ottendorfer is the President, as
merely a body of seceders from it, not entitled to
Tecogoltloo. Mrs. Bohm's verein sued to recover the
amount they claim, and yesterday Jndgo Larremore
decided to discharge the Trustees from any liablUty
inmference to the fund or interest, on their deposit-
ing the whole amount in court, and having the verein
of which Mrs. Ottendorfer is President suostltuted as
defendants, so that the issue as to which is the genu-
ine verein entitled to the money Can be legally fought
out between the two contestants for the legacy.
THREE ALLEGED BURGLARS AeLD.^
The ^06 store of William Henderson, at No.
890 Third-avenue, was broken into between 11 and

niGRWAY ROBBERS SENTENCED.
On tbo evening of June 21, as Mary Pagans,
a colored woman, was returning home from work
through Thompson-street, she was attacked by a
colored waiter named John Bucinor or Buckiner,
of No. 151 Thompson-street, who struck her
a brutal blow on the side, from the
effect of which she fell over a water-
troufrh, breaking two of her ribs. While she was
lying in the water-trough Bucinor robbed her of $9,
lier week's wHses. and ran off. The woman was re-
roovt-d to BelloTie Hos]>itaI, where her injaries de-
tained her fcir six weeks. The ruRian was subse-
quently arro ted and indicted for highway robbery.
When the prisoner was placed on trial by Assistant
District Attorney Herring vesterd,<iy, in the Court of
General Sessions, he denied the robbery and assault,
and claimed that the woman Pagans was his wife.
The' jury found him guilty of robbery, and Judge
Sutheriand sentenced nim* to 15 years in State
IVison. The prisoner loudly protested his innocence,
and threatenea to have ample revenge whenever he
should leave State Prison.
Another case of highway robberv by a negro was
that of William Harrison, of No. 9 Olark-street. who.
on the momlug of the 2dth of June, attacked Charles
Johnston, another colored man, living at Xew-
Rochelle, Westchester County. As the latter was
walking through Thompson-street Harrison followed
him. and attempted forcibly to deprive him of a rine
which he wore on his small' finger. Harrison got the
finger In his mouthand endeavored to wrench off the
ring, which in the struggle was broken. Johnston
then tried to escape, wherenpon Harrison struck hitn
on the head with a brick, iimictinif a scrinns wound.
The bighwaj-nian was finally arrested and locked np.
On the trial yesterday he attempted to show that he
onlv acted in self-detense, but the lury found him
guilty of an attempted robbery. Judge Sutheriand
sent him to State Prison for nine years.
FERNANDO WOOD IN COURT.
Catharine Irvin and Thonia.s C. Holland sued
Fernando Wood, in the Seventh District Court, to re-
cover $1C8 which they alleged he owed them for
work. Wood desired to have the case removed for
trial to the Conrt of Cummon Pleas, and filed a bond
for that purpose, but Justice Pinckney refused to
transmit the papers to the Common Pleaa, and Wood
applied to Judge Van Brunt for a mandamus to com-
pel him to do so. It appeared that the sureties on
the bond had not justified, and vesterday Judge Van
Brunt denied the application, holding that Justice
Pinckney was not obliged to transmit the papers re-
moving the case, as the sureties had failed to justify.

Losroox, Aug. 14.— The .Var/.-ianc Express in iw week-
ly review of the BriTisb Cora trade navB : In the homo
counties tbe most sirikini; feature i« the thinness at rn*
Wheat plant on the ground, aud au examination of the
ear shows thent to be poorly liUed and bearing distinct
traces ot blight and mildew. Cutting has commencou,
but with such weather as u-e have been having lately the
hai^est ■will be much protracted and the reault scu'C^y
encouraging to farmers. The E^iset crop seems to b«
especially unsatisfactory, and where reaping haa begun thq
more farm^ers see of the Wheat the les.** they Uk«
it. Proceeding northward appearances are ieaa gloomy,
and tho Scotch reports are upon the whole promising,
but the growth of cereals is tmusuallv backward, and
even \n£h fine weather harvesting will not commence
before September. Of course a lat^ harvest is not neces-
sarily a bad one, still the chanous of damage from unto-
ward weather are larj^ely Inereasod as AaComn ap-
proachea. Barley has uertainly derived benefit from taa
raiii. aud roots hav« bo«u growimj fast, but some appre-
hensioua are felt for the Potato crop, as excessive moi»< ,
ture la likely to predispose Polat-ies to disease. At pre*-
enr, hovrt-ver, camplatnts are forrunately rar*» In thia
countrj-, but it is a matter for considerable regret that di»
ease ban made Ita appearance in *ierraany. and Ls sn.id to l^i
Rureatlingrapldly. In short, agriculinral rc^iorTs are coc^
fGctint;, and both in this coaiitr>- and Franc*^ harv^c^
anticipations ar« more or leas depres.-nnc. Buvl:ies« at
Murk-laue has been somewhat of a holiday ciiaractgr.
bot the wet weather baa caused steadinea^ to prevail, and
Wheat and feeding Coru have niaintaiued former values.
The demand has been of that retail nature which U
tumallv experienced at thli time of year when millerj
purchase merely from hand to mouth.
The Imports into London continue heavy, and any ma-
terial rise in prices i» scarcely to be looki-d' for uiile-ss tb«
EugUsh harvofit turns out a. failurr;, aa larp* arrivals are
coming In from India and R■a^sla, and, allowini; for
exaggeration, America will have a surplus for export faSy
eoualto that of former yeara.
There is little demand for di^ount, hut the Email
amount of bmuness done is subject to the uondltiuo that
a proportionate addition shall bo paid if tlie Bank rate
ou Thursday is raUed to 2^1 or 3 V" cent., which is t>e-
lieve<it'jbe inevitable if the hea\'y withdrawals of gold
from tho Bank conUnue. Thi* actnal doiuund for auoncy
is slight, and the rau^ from day to day are only about ^
^ cent, per annom.

.senator Morton" is a man whom tbe
coimtry cannot well afford to spare at the
present time, and it is to be hoped that the
dismal prognostications about the probable
results of his illness are not well founded.
It has been the fashion with certain
Bupertine critics oE public men to sneer at
iloKTos as a type of the coarse and vul-
gar political gladiator, whom the exigencies
of a stormy time raised to the fictitious
attitude of a statesman. Much as we have
found to condemn in the opinions, tlie
inethod-s, and the affiliations of the Indiana
Senator, it would be folly to deny to him the
possession of that higher insiglit into the
forcea'^lch create public opinion and mold
public policy, which is the characteristic
of a m^u litted to shape the destinies of
states. \Vf trust that the time is yet far
off when it will be uecessary to accord him
the credit due for the great and trying work
which he did so well as Governor of Indiana,
as well as for noble services in the cause
of the oppressed freemen, and vigorous
protests against the apathy which invited
tfie danger of a disputed Presidency. There
is still much work for Mr. MoKTOJf to do,
which few can accomplish so well, and
there are none of his fellow-countrymen
who will grudge him the wish that the daunt-
less energj- and indomitable will which have
triumphed so long over physical suffering
anay sustain him through some more years
.otuctive public life.
going into details ; they repeat the nsnal
twaddle about the "monstrous fraud"
which defeated the Democratic can-
didates for the Presidency, and
they add a word of approval for
"the restoration to the rights of citizen-
ship" of the people of the three Southern
States whose government is now in the
bands of a minority of their voters. Hon.
J. H. 'WiiAiAMS, of Augusta, was the
recipient of the empty eompliment of a
nomination for Governor, duly reached after
a solemn and farcical attempt at balloting.
The present famine in British India, is
either of a much more serious character
than the one which was so successfully met
a few years ago, or it has been permitted
by official apathy and neglect to secure a
very alarming headway. Already the loss
of life is placed at the enormous figure of
half a million, and after such a, mor-
tality as that, it is hardly probable
that an equally direful visitation of
the pestUenee which follows in the
track of famine can be avoided. The Orissa
famine of 1366 cost a million and a half of
live^but after the revelations of official in-
(!T(^Mty which attended the investigation
of that calamity it was thought that no
such sacrifice of human beings to starva-
tion could ever again be possible. It seems
to have been the policy of the Government
of the Presidency of Madras, in which
the famine chiefly rages, to make light
of the emergency which it was apparent
some months ago they would have to meet.
The folly of their rash optimism has been
demonstrated too late, and the British Cabi-
net is placed in the very unenviable posi-
tion of being ready to sacrifice thousands of
1^-es in Europe to maintain an ascendency
in India whose continuance it is unable
to justify by proofs of vigorous and humane
administration.
This is about the time of year when the
Ilndependent Greenbacker organizes himself
'into a convention, nominates himself for
•office, and proclaims himself to be the
jMoses who is to lead .everybody who will
follow him into a laud>M high wages, cheap
imohey, and easy payment of debts. Yes-
;terda>-'s performance at Trenton was a
very fair sample of what the paper-money
dimatic can do and say when he is at his
ibost. His capacity for making everybody
in a convention either an office-bearer, a
member of a committee, or a candidate
for office, partakes of the^ same
teven-handed* liberality which moves him
to demand that business men be
given money ■ enough to pay for labor, and
that the laborer receive such wages as
shall enable him to so increase his consump-
tion of the surplus products of the country
as to give us peace and prosperity all round.
The Trenton inflationists had sense enough
to devote a separate resolution to the re-
mooetization of silver, thus adding another
tie to the many which bind the unlimited
greenback to " the dollar of our fathers."
It is satisfactory to hear, on the authority
oj their candidate for Lieutenant-Govemor,
that the "Labor Reformers" of Ohio do
not sympathize with the Greenback Party,
though they make precisely the same blun-
der of expecting from legislation certain
xosults-which can only be brought about by
the slow operation of economic laws. It is
the function of the demagogue to proclaim
that "more work and better pay" can bo
furnished by the direct intervention of the
State or National Government, though it is
also the business of the statesman to dis-
cover how certain hindrances to industrial
development in the shape of administrative
incompetency or dishonesty, oppressively
graded taxation, and the like, can be re-
moved and the general welfare of all classes
of the community be thereby advanced.
Xlnfortunately, the < ordinary " labor re-
former " is much 'i more likely to ad-
vertise the nostrums of ' the demagogue
than to^take the trouble to nnderetand the
remedies demanded by enlightened states-
manship, just as a very large proportion of
so-oalted "working men^' have yet to learn
how' disastrous are the results of the
economic quackery which proposes to re-
lievo their immediate distress by treating
'the organic laws of society and of trade as
'non-existent.
Preparations were made at the Hoosac
Junction , between Troy andBennington, yes-
terday, for a first-class railroad slaughter,
and nothing but the merest accident, for
which the railroad authorities cannot justly
be held responsible, prevented the com-
pletest success. An excursion train, heavi-
ly loaded and bound for Bennington, was
run into at the junction by a Montreal
freight ; the engine was smashed ;
several employes were badly hurt,
and a large number of li%-es would
have been speedily lost but for the fact
that a switch had been left {)artly open
and the passenger train was thrown
to some extent out of the way. Kail-
roading is uncertain business at best,
and this is only another illustration of how
a slight obstacle may upset the most care-
ful plans. The Bennington excursionists
can at least have the melancholy satisfac-
tion of knowing the railroad men meant to
kill them, and would have done so, if they
had not been interfered with.

MR. COXKLiya AT UTICA.
What Senator CON'KLISO said to his neigh-
bors last eveuiiig, regarding their personal
relations and his love for the busy little
town which he" has made his home, was very
pleasantly and properly said. But what he
said to them regarding public questions
might, with all propriety toward the occa-
sion, igd with great advantage to Mr. C0N"K-
LiNu's reputation as a statesman, have
been left unsaid. There was noth-
ing in Mr. Keks'.vs's graceful but col-
orless, and not too laudatory address
of welcome that required his friend to ex-
pand himself quite so freely on subjects
with which his acquaintance ought to be
large, but with which it is evidently very
small. We confess that it is a disappoint-
ment to us to see a man of Mr. Cokkliso's
station and supposed calibre, fall into
the commonplace mistake, at a time like
the present, of singing indiscriminate
praises of everything American and com-
paring our condition with that of foreign
nations, to the constant disadvantage of
the latter. Wo Americans hardly need to
have our vanity inflated, and even if undue
modesty were our worse fault, the present
is not exactly the time a prudent public
man woidd select to try to stimulate our
self-esteem. ^
Mr. CoNKLiSG tells us that he wishes that
all working men who are dissatisfied with
their wages could " go to France and
England, and see how the work men and
women do there, and hear of the wages
they receive." Perhaps he is not aware
that a good many working men who
came from those benighted lauds, and who
know very well the work and the wages wh ich
prevail there and here, are going back.
They have learned, what Mr. Cosklin'o
may possibly have overlooked, that it is not
the amount of wages, but what wages will
buy, which affords the best test of the rela-
tive prosperity of working classes in differ'
ent countries. As between England and
the United States, there is, unfortunately,
much to be said just now for the former
country, which, if it feels the general com-
mercial depression ot the world, does not
weigh down its laboring classes with as heavy
a weight of local and general taxation, and
loaves them cheaper houses to live in, cheap-
er food to eat, and cheaper clothes to wear.
It is true that the land tenure of England is
by no means an ideal one, and that there
are some enormous properties in land there ;
but we doubt if the actual inconvenience
from these properties is as great as that
which has flowed from the manage-
ment of some of the railroad land grants
in the West. If Mr. Covkliko desires
only to make our working people
contented, that is an amiable purpose, but
it is not 'necessarily a wise one. It is an
open question whether they ought to be
contented. We do not ourselves think that
they (jfught. We have no suggestion to
make to those who express their discontent
in oppressing their fellows or in riot and
arson. The bullet and the prison are the
only remedies for their disease. But we
are convinced that men who are -willing
and able ,to . work in this country,
and who respect the rights of others, have
much to complain of in the policy and laws
of the United States, and we should much
prefer to see a man of Mr. Conkling's pre-
tensions devoting serious attention to this
problem to seeing bim make such curiously-
mistaken statements as he made last night
regsirding foreign countries.
Mr. CoNKLmo seems to have been partic-
ularly disgruntled with England, He found
something in Paris to praise — the spectacle
of working men sitting on the curb-stone
,all niirht *o 2Bt a cbanoe to invest fiftr
franes in a govenunent bond "bearing 4 per
cent. That was an impressive lesson for
the Senator, though it does not
seem to have let any light in on
his mind as to the relative value
of wages in France and in our own country.
But England appears to him a peculiarly
afSicted land. He referred with especial
emphasis to the concentrated power of " the
governing few," to the small ntunber of
voters, the hereditary seats in the House of
Lords, and to ' ' taxation to maintain a
standing Army, in which commissions are
sold for money or given to sons and rela-
tions."
As a matter of fact the purchase and sale
of commissions in the English Army has
been abolished, and that so recently, and
after so earnest and prolonged a discussion,
that it is little less than ridiculous foE_a
man as high in pubHc life as Mr. CoNKLDia
is to be ignorant regarding it. But, as "a mat-
ter of theory and sentiment, Sir. Cokklbtg's
aTersion for the concentration -of— power
and for " patronage" is something of quite
recent origin. We shall not be sorry if the
corruptions of the aristocracy of England
and the disorders of English politics have
opened his eyes to the inherent evils of a
system which he has done so much to estab-
lish and promote in his own country; We
do not believe that he could find anywhere
a regime more arbitrary, oppressive, mis-
chievous, and intolerable than that of his
own qffice-holdiug subordinates in possession
of the Republican machine in New- York
State. The charms, as well as the faults of a
" governing few" ought to be plain to a man
who, from his seat in the Senate, has very
recently assumed to dictate the lines within
which the Republican Party of an entire
State should move. We can overlook his
curious blunders aa to fact if he
has experienced any change of heart
on this important point. But if he
thinks that an office-holders' oligarchy
is to be excused because our unfortunate
English brethren have not attained to the
blessings of universal suffrage, he is in er-
ror— as wide of the mark indeed, as when
he described Albany, his " birth-place spot,
as standing at the mouth of the Mohawk
and the head of the Hudson," when it stands
neither in one place nor the other.
TSE METRIC SYSTEM.
Nothing more clumsy and inconvenient
could well bo devised than the dozen or
more mensuration tables of arithmetic,
which are a terror to childhood and almost
impossible to retain in memory through life.
There are in use lines, barleycorns, inches,
nails, ells, quarts, quarters, gallons, pecks,
bushels, coombs, minims, noggins, kild-
erkins, firkins, barrels, butts, pipes,
puncheons, tierces, hogsheatis, scruples,
carats, grains, drams, pennyweights,
and many others. There are 3'2
gallons in a barrel of cider, 3II2 or 36 in one
of ale or milk, 30 in one of fish, 42 in a
tierce of oil, 63 in a hogshead of wine, 5-1
in one of beer, '2 in a peck of grain ; the
" dry" gallon contains 263 4-5 cubic
inches, the wine gallon 231, the beer gal-
lon 282 : the English pound avoirdupois is
heavier than the pound troy, but the ounce
avoirdupois is lighter tliau the ounce troy ;
the "ton" is 2,000 or 2,240 poimds, ac-
cording as it is ordinary or " long ;" 12 units
make a dozen, and 20 units a score: 24
sheets of paper make a quire, 20 quires a
ream, and 25 envelopes a pack. In " long"
measure, for example, we pass from barley-
corns to inches, feet, yards, rods, furlongs,
miles, and leagues, multipMng by 3, 12,
3, ."j'.j, I6I21 -It), 8, 3, and in reduction
back reversing this order ; the mile is
" statute," " nautical, " '" geographical ;"
there are three measures for weighiiig sol-
ids; and. in short, we cannot touch the
present tables anyvvhere without finding
them a tissue of vagueness, inconsistency,
and vexatious absurdity.
We have to measure things in four re-
spects : length or simple extension, surface,
capacity, weight or ponderability. Of
course, wh.at we call a yard might as well
bear another name and bo of another
length ; measures are arbitrary, the essen-
tial thing being that they shall possess sim-
plicity, unity, and convenience. The meas-
ures now in use are a burles<|ue upon these
qualities ; like the German gender and our
words ending in " ough," they are all ex-
ceptions and obey no rule. Take any table
as a test, and we find, as in the example
above quoted, that in proceeding from
larger to smaller dirisions or back, both the
terms and the multiples change utterly, there
being neither unity nor relation between
them ; and even in square and cubic measures
— which have a sort of conformity to long
measure — the reductions are exceedingly
clumsy, it being necessary, for example, in
order to reduce cubic inches to perches and
feet, to divide successively by 1,728 and
2434. To retain these tables, which seem
to have been framed by different persons
independently, is an unrelieved tax on
memory, and to use them is a tax upon time
and patience.
The e.xjilanation Of their faults is found in
their lack of a definite base-unit, for when
that is wanting and the various quantities
are to bear various names one name is as
good as another, and various multiples
naturally are taken. The metric or inter-
national system, devised by study, and
rightfully called a system, begins by taking
as its permanent base-unit the ten-millionth
part of one-fourth the earth's circumference,
equal to 39.37 inches. The system consists
of just two rules: using the decimal 10 as
the rate of progression, thus continuously
multiplying or dividing the unit-metre by
10 to get larger or smaller measures,
and of forming the other measures upon
that of length. Four tables make the whole
— for the absurdity of having several tables
of weight is avoided — and the following is
the table of length, the equivalents in meas-
ures of present use being added :
Metres. Inches.
.001 or 0.0394
.01 or 0.3937
.1 or 3.937
1 or 39.37
10 or 393.7
100 or 3,937
UUes.
One kilometre e<]u*ls... 1,000 or 0.62137
One myriametro equals 10,000 or 6.2137
Ordinarily this is written, 10 millimetres
make a centimetre, 10 centimetres mal^e a
decimetre, just as we write, 10 nulls make
a cent, the metric terms corresponding
successively to mill, cent, dime, dollar,
eagle. The imit of weight is the gram,
that of capacity the litre, and that of surface
the ar. To icet measures of tMnstcrts the
One millimetre equals . .
One centimetre equals. .
One decimetre equals. ..
One metre equals
One decametre equals..
One hectometre equals .
measures of length are cubed, and to get
measures of surface are squared ; to get
weight measures, the weights of the
cubed metre and its divisions in water
are taken. Thus, the miUilitre is
simply the centimetre cubed, or the cube
whose side is acentimetre square, and whose
edge is a centimetre long ; the litre is the de-
cimetre cubed ; the gram is the weight of
the milliliter of distilled water ; the kilolitre
is a oubie metre, and the tonneau its weight
in water ; the centar is a metre squared,
and the ar is 100 square metres. The
metric system is a geometrical progression
using 10 only — an extension of the decimal
notation already established in our poinage.
To enlarge upon the advantages of this no-
tation is superfluous. For example, to re-
duce 1543514 inches we must divide by
12, 3, 51^, 40, andS ; to reduce 1543514
centimetres, we point off thus : 15,435,14,
and read, 15 kilometres, 435 metres, and
14 centimetres.
A universal language is the dream of some.
It is already realized in music, in figures,
and to a considerable and increasing extent
in mensuration. Where mankind would be
now if civilized nations did not concur in
one system of notation by figures it would
be hard to say ; the metric system proposes
to carry into measures the Arabic or ,deci-
nial notation, and no other has any prospect
of becoming an inteiiiational or universal
language. The metre itself dates back to
1790. President Washington urged upon
Congress the importance of " a standard at
once ftivariable and universal ;" President
Madison, in his Message of 1816, spoke of
" the great utility of a standard fixed in its
nature, and founded on the easy rule of
decimal proportions ;" Jefferson wished to
reduce "every branch to the same decimal
ratio already established with coins ;" John
QuiNCY Adams enthusiastically declared the
metric system more valuable than the steam-
engine as a labor saver ; and English teach-
ers estimate that its full adoption would
save England $1,750,000 a year in school
expenses and two years' school life to every
child. For many years the foot, divided
into tenths, has been used by architects,
engineers, and some other profesional work-
ers, who could no longer tolerate the clumsy
12. The metric system was completely
adopted by Prance in 1840, and since 1863
has been adopted by more than a dozen na-
tions, its use being made compulsory by
most of them; it was legalized in this
country in 1866, and the Coinage act of
1873 made the legal weight of the half dol-
lar I2I2 grams, thus putting silver on the
metric basis, the other coins being already
very nearly 80. The 21 nations, including
this, constituting the International Postal
Union of 1874, express as such their postal
rates metrically, and all mail matter be-
tween the United States and Europe is thus
weighed ; and as 15 grams, for postal pur-
poses equivalent to the half ounce, are
actually .53 of an ounce, merchants can
increase the Single-rate limit on their for-
eign letters 6 per cent, by procuring and
using metric scales.
At least five-sixths of our commerce is
with nations which use^he metric system,
exclusively or in part ; most of the foreign
orders for American machinery are metri-
cally expressed ; and some large establish-
ments have voluntarily discarded the old
measures. Metric scales have been fur-
nished to every State, and the system is
being pushed, chiefly through schools and
colleges, in a way we have not space to set
forth. We have attempted no more than to
give a sketch of and direct attention to a
subject of which, even aside from its prac-
tical bearings, nobody claiming to be well
informed can justifiably longer remain
ignorant.
OVE VERBAL HEAKSESSES.
Nearly all foreigners who have visited
this country in an observing spirit have
noticed the national fondness for big or
high-sounding names. Our republican
simplicity fails to affect our nomencla-
ture, which is so apt to be pretentious and
turgid that one might think we sought
therein for some kind of indemnification for
our plain democratic institutions. As a
people we have a love of bigness. We
like to think and boast of our coimtry's
vast physical dimensions, of our broad prai-
ries and plains, of our mighty lakes, our
long rivers, our high mountains. We are
pleased to contrast our material proportions
with the pigmy confines of most of the
European States ; to discredit the Thames,
Seine or Rhine, with mention of the Ohio,
Missouri, or Mississippi ; to declare in a
patronizing way that Texas alone is far
larger than all England or France. Indeed,
there is little doubt that we are inclined to
confound bigness with greatness — to put the
containing power above the power con-
tained.
As we have such a fancy for big things, it
is natural that we should relish big names,
especially when the things they represent
are not what w§ think they ought to be.
We are disposed to make reparation for, if
not to cover, any of our shortcomings by
inflated titles. Whatever is small or unim-
portant we attach a grand name to, imagin-
ing, «uch is our rapid growth, that the
future will justify the designation. We ap-
pear, in short, to prefer seeming to being,
thtts-eenveying a false impression when our
sole aim is to be dignified. Grandiose ter-
minology is most prevalent in new parts of
the republic, particularly in the West ; but
there is enough of it everywhere to demon-
strate a general failing.
Save in older portions of the country, it
is hard to discover an insignificant town, or
a new settlement of any kind, to which the
title of '• city" has not been appended. Be-
yond the Mississippi, all that is essential to
a " city" is a blacksmith's shop, a " store,"
and a bar-room. Not infrequently a coimty
containing less than ten thousand inhabi-
tants may include half a dozen " cities."
In one of the new Territories bordering the
Pacific slope, in a county where the census
showed but eleven hundred and fifty-three
people a few years ago, there were actually
thirteen cities, one of them embracing as
permanent residents only two families and a
venerable negro. The appellation is pre-
sumed to anticipate what is to come,
perhaps to infiuence destiny by encouraging
unborn events. After the scattering settle-
ment or cross-roads hamlet has really ac-
quired size and consequence, " city" is
dropped, because the town is then believed
to be able to prosper on its own merits.
All the points of any importance in Nebras-
ka, Colorado, and Nevada have but very re-
cently ceased to be cities, and the insignifi-
cant places still remain such.
Judging by names, we should be the most
musical of nations. The entire land is
studded with' opera-houses or academies of
music, even the frontier towns being well
supplied with them. To read the advertise-
ments in their newspapers you would
conclude that they were Leipzigs or
'Viennas. Yet when yon ■visit them, you
may be surprised to find that many
of the inhabitants have never heard
a complete opera, and are ignorant of the
difference between a bravura and a barom-
eter. Knowing that New- York has two
opera-houses — closed most of the time — and
that one of them is styled the Academy of
Music, (the Academy of the Sick Muse
would be more appropriate,) they resolve
not to be behind the Metropolis, at least in
names. Consequently, they call their old
theatre an opera-house, or put up a building
in which concerts or dramatic performances
are occasionally given, and dub it an acad-
emy of music. They seem not to know
that even this great City has never yet sus-
tained the opera as a regular or permanent
entertainment, and thatoiir very brief "sea-
sons" are nearly always attended with seri-
ous risk to managers.
The Italian opera, or, indeed, opera of any
sort, seldom prospers under the most favor-
able circumstances. Paris bolsters up the
opera with a liberal government subsidy ;
London, despite its large subscriptions, its
titled and immensely rich and privileged
class, cannot prevent its opera managers
from failing periodically. But all this does
not hinder Joliet, Oshkosh, and Virginia
City from having their opera-houses and
academies of music, even though these be
surrendered in the main, when used at all,
to political conventions, church festivals,
and exhibitions of pugilistic art. We can
give up, if need be, most of the blessings of
a free government ; but opera-houses vrith-
out opera are absolutely indispensable.
We are more enamored of imposing names
than the French. "Grand" is one of our
verbal weaknesses. We have grand hotels,
grand concerts, grand parades, grand ban-
quets, grand receptions, grand caucuses,
grand debates in Congress, grand prom-
enades, grand free lunches, even grand
babies and grand lager beer. There is no
boundary to our grandness ; no application
of it is reckoned as absurd. We scorn
such good old titles as "inn" and
" tavern," and put " hotel " in their stead.
A miserable shanty, where ' dyapepsia,_-.a
populoS bed, and general disgust may be
had for three or four dollars a day, is as
much a hotel as the gilded and be-
mirrored palace on Broadway. Public
dinners are out of vogue ; we will
compromise on nothing less than a
"banquet." If the table be ill supplied, and
the supply altogether unsatisfactory, it is a
banquet, nevertheless. Better is a banquet
without wine and with nothing to eat, than
a dinner flowing with the choicest vintage
of the grape and heaped with every luxury.
Cottages and country houses have ver-
bally beeu demolished, and " -villas "
erected on their sites. Servants have
vanished from the American world, and
been replaced by domestics. Dress-mak-
ers have grown to be modistes ; corn-doc-
tors, chiropodists; tailors, sign-painters,
and barbers, artists. Ticket agents are
designated as Generals ; Captains of
tugs and canal-boats as Commodores ;
ordinary school-teachers and brazen moun-
tebanks as Professors. Long endured in-
capables and men detected in repeated acts
of dishonesty, who have been dismissed from
position, are said to have tendered their
resignation ; and confessed thieves are per-
mitted to retire from office on account of
suspected " irregidarities." There is no end
to our big names and fine phrases. Present-
ly, no doubt, we shall speak of bar-tenders
as dispensers of ossthetic cocktails, and of
burglars as gentlemen of irrepressible
dynamic instinct.
A MAGNETIC CURE.
Nature has so constructed the ordinary
girl (Jilia dontestica) as to enable her system
to harmlessly assimilate needles when in-
troduced into the stomach by way of the
esophagus — or. in short, when swallowed.
Girls have been known to swallow dozens
of needles in small successive doses with-
out experiencing any unpleasant effects.
Needles, when thus introduced into the
stomach, quietly meander through the in-
terior avenues and lanes of the swallower,
and ultimately emerge in the most unexpect-
ed localities -without having given rise to
any perceptible symptoms. Why girls ever
swallow needles is a mystery — as, indeed,
is everything that every girl ever does.
Still, they do swallow them, and are none
the worse for it ; a fact that is the despair
of inquisitive scientific persons.
On the other hand, a needle, when in-
serted into a girl through her surface, cre-
ates more disturbance than is created by
twice the number of needles thrust into
double the quantity of young men. If a
young man unwarily pricks himself with a
needle, he merely explains to the surrotmd-
ing universe the Calvinistic theory of tho
future state of the unregenerate, and then
says no more about the matter; whereas
the girl who finds herself pierced by an un-
expected needle, devotes the remainder of
the day to nerves, doctors, and patent pain-
killers ; and cherishes a lively anticipa-
tion of lock-jaw for several consecutive
weeks. We may not understand the reason
of these things, but we know that they are
so. Hence, when a girl swallows needles,
we simply look at her with wonder, love,
amazement ; but when a needle breaks into
her system by some other and irregular way,
we hasten for doctors and pincers.
The experience of a young lady -of Ade-
laide, South Australia, in the matter of in-
serted needles, deserves to be brought to the
attention of the American public, both be-
cause of its scientific value and of the
beautiful lessons of fortitude which it con-
veys. In an unwary moment this young
lady was pierced byan accidental needle to
an alarming depth. In fact, the needle
entered the flesh so deeply as to' vanish
completely from sight without leaviug even
the slightest apparent wound to show its
precise locality. Of course, the young lady
knew in a formal way where the needle was.
The pain oatised by it extended over a large
area of her person, but she could indicate
pretty nearly its position. Still, as in the
case of the traditional skipper, who, passing
the palm of his hand over the lower half of
the chart of the North Atlantia. remarked
to his admiring mate, " Now, -we're some-
wheres herealx)Uts,'\,there -was an undesir-
able vagueness in the young woman's de-
scription of the location of the needle. In
these circumstances the attending surgeon
announced that he would be compelled to
prospect for the needle by sinking a series
of shafts and driving galleries and trenches
in different directions. He assured the
patient that in time he would certainly
strike, the needle and exhume it, but that
mere aimless digging here and there would
be grossly unscientific, and would probably
fail to find the desired object.
Just here it may be well to say that there
is no reargSJund for stispecting the yomig
lady's small -brother of any share in the dis-
aster. Of course, every one knows that the
small boy is addicted to strewing the chairs
of school-teachers and large clergymen with
pins bent in such a manner as to present
the i>oint upward ; but as needles cannot be
bent -without breaking they are never put
to a similar use. Moreover, the Adelaide
press is unanimous in asserting that a " set-
tee," and not a chair, was involved in the
affair in question. Now, no small boy, how-
ever good and intelligent he may be, ever
places sharp instruments of torture on a
"settee" — a term believed to be synony-
mous with sofa. The element of uncer-
tainty would enter altogether too largely
into such a plan. The small boy could not
possibly tell upon what precise part of the
sofa his intended victim would seat himself,
and he would never prepare for himself the
bitter disappointment of seeing a fat clergy-
man sit down upon one end of a sofa un-
conscious of the pin placed for him at the
other. While these arguments, go *very far
to show the improbability that the young
lady's brother was the final cause of her
disaster, the fact that she had no brother
whatever definitely settles the question.
Probably she herself dropped the needle on
the settee and forgot all about it until cir-
cumstances brought it sharply to her no-
tice.
No sooner had the surgeon made his diag-
nosis than he produced his excavating tools
and his battles of chloroform, horse liniment,
and other paUjatives, and took, off his coat
with a view t6 immediate action. But to
his astonishment the young lady peremp-
torily declined his services. She was ready,
80 she said, to have the needle properly ex-
tracted, but she declined to be viewed in
the light of a mining placer, and to havener
surface rendered rough and unsightly with
mounds and excavations. Whereupon the
discomfited surgeon pocked up his imple-
ments and departed -with much dignity, as-
suring her that the needle would soon find
its way to some -vital organ, and cause her
to perish miserably.
For three long weeks that unfortunate
young lady kept her bed, lying in a con-
strained and painful position, but never
once showing any evidence of the suffering
which she endured except by howling and
Aearing the sheets and pillow-cases. Every
one said her patience and sweetness were
more than human, and that she was more, of
an angel than quite a number of distinct-
ively unangelic persons. At the end of the
three weeks a happy thought occurred to
the young lady's father. He suggested that
the exhibition of a large magnet would
possibly bring the needle to the surface.
Accordingly a magnet of enormous size was
procured and placed in contact with the
yoimg lady's surface, in the supposed
neightxjrhood of the needle. Three days
later the needle yielded to the attraction ;
gently forced its way out, and clung to the
magnet as though overjoyed at its release
from imprisonment. The young ladj' rose
up from her bed and enjoyed, with a zest
which she had never before experienced,
the luxury of sitting in a rocking-chair, and
her father immediately furnished his favorite
newspaper with a full account of her re-
markable om-e.
This story teaches the value of magnets
and the beauty of patience and fortitude.
Let us hope that other young ladies who
read it will feel strengthened to go and do
likewise.

TOR KERNAN— MR. COKKLIKG'S REPLT —
COMPLIMENTARY REMARKS EXPRESSED AT?
ALBANY.
Utica, N. Y., Aug. 14.— The General
Committee of Arrangements from Utica and
the coimty for the reception of Senator Conk-
ling met him at Little Falls, where there was a
veryhearty greeting, on the part of the people
of that place. There were salutes, illumina-
tions, decorations, and fireworks. Senator
Conkling made a brief acknowledgement of
the welcome, and tlie train sped on to
Utica, reaching here^t >S:30 P. M. The Utica
Citizens' Corps escorted Senator Conkling and
the committee to Bagg's-square, where the Mil-
itia and civic organizations of Utica and country
delegations cheered the party and fell into line.
The route through Genesee. Hopper, and Kut-
eers streets to Senator Conkling's residenco was
brilliantly illuminated, and fireworks were dis-
played at all points. The grounds around the
residence were handsomely decorated with Chi-
nese lanterns and lighted with locomotive
lamps.
Senator Keman, in behalf of Utica and Oneida
County, welcomed 3Ir. Conkling, as follows :
Mr. Con-klino : This laiTje meeting of citizens
from all the walks of life spi*aks more significantly
aud eloquently ihan any words which I can utter
the higb e^itiaiBtinn iu which vou are held by th^
community in which you live. The eenllemen her*
assembled are your neighbors. They are from
Utica and tlie surrounding countrj*. They have
known you from your early manhood, and .
have witnessed your career through life with peculiar
interest. They are of all polilicaf parties. All these,
your neighboi^, come here to-night to testify their
regard and respect for you : to express their gratifi-
cation that you have safely returned from your
journey across t!ie Atlantic to the Old World in
restored health and strength, and to lender
vou a warm and hearty welcome home.
In their name and on their behalf, and rordially and
sincerely uniting with them. 1 say to you. Mr. Conk-
ling. '\\elcome back to Utica. Welcome to your
home.
Mr._ Conkling then replied a.s follow!- :
If any man could fitly acknowledge and re-
spond to all this, I am not he. Such a wel-
come.- such a muirnitlcent inaHtfestatlon of
goodness and generosity, would be memor-
able in a life of nsefuluess and worth to which I can
lay no claim. Its most agreeable feature is ttie
absence of party lines. Among those from whom
it comes are many who have differed with me in the
sharp political coili-sions of tbe past. For more than
'2.0 years we have engaged in contests, often wa^ed
with a heat and ardor which has not always stopjted,
1 fear, with mf-re difference of politi(il opinion-
to-night the bugles of party sound a trace, and you
come as neighbors and friends to greet a neighbor
and afriend. Twenty years is a great while. Since it
began time with his frostv fiugers liaa cooled and sil-
vered many a brow, and / can say truly that no word,
harsh or stinging toward a political opponent, ever
passed my lips which I would not to-night eladly re-
call. Sneaking to Democrats not leas than to Repub-
licans ; speaking to the organizations aud to the In-
dividuals who have bestowed all the trouble which
this demonstration attests ; Bpealdn^ to ray honest
oolleague In the Senate who has come here to say
elorjuent and undeserved words : speaking to all my
voice can reach. IronderyoulheacknowleQirm»-ntof n
grateful heart, and return in measure heapt^d up
every sentiment of friendshij* you can feel for me or
mine- Disclaiming the credit' generallv ascribed Xc
me. by Senator Keman. I am glad of a public occasion
toreferto one of the most pleaidng incideuls of my
Eubhc service. During the brief time that we have
een colleagues in the Senate, we have been called to
act on questions <)f deep concern to the State of
Xew-Yont and to everj* State in the Union.
In one memorable -* iustance the coantry was
in more imminent peril than you at
home could fully realize — in danger of being
disgraced before tho worUl, and involved
in commotions and consequences which no dtizou
Kssessed of property, saying nothing of the patriot-
Q or pride of couiitry. could ever liave ceased to
deplore. On this, occasion, and on all occasions when
the interest of our countr>' or our State were In-
volved, no political antagonism kept us apart. He
will confirm me in saying that there has never been
an hour when we could aot confer'as freely ujwn
public measures as if we liad been members of tht*
same poUtioaJ party. If either of us hud ciit»?red the
Senate believing tliat men caimot be ardeut party
men and at the same time b«* patriots, ourai^s'*-
ciatcs would have undece:%-ed us if we had not
undeceived ourselves. lie is a pretty staunch Demo-
crat, but he never seemed to be Demwrat entmgh :■»
believe it would hurt his party to do right. I trust I
have never been Hepubhcau enough to believe it a
part of the RepubUcan creed to do wrong. lAp-
pl Hu.se.]
Vou may expect me to sav sometltiug of ray jonr-
nev abroad. If I tell the w)iole truth "ilr. I-awn.*uco
■xriil luugh at me, evea if Tiob«>dy else latighs. He trav-
els half a year over laJf the world, then he conies
home aud does a number of charities and tionie other
eood thing*, and straightway he i« readv to start
again and travel over the other haH". But the trutli
is I was homeMck — downright homesick. [Tjaughter.J
The further I went the m6re it sec-med there was no,
coimtrj' like America, no State like New-York. no
eountyiikeOneidit.no city like Utica. [Applause.]
Tliis is a confession in confidence. T hope news-
papers won't tell of it. Newspapers hai*dly ever do "1 —
say anything you don't want them to. [Laughter.]
Bat I can say seriously that my belief is no American
can realize the progress Amsrica ha:i mnde till he
goes and compares it with other lands. Without see-
ing other countries, it is hard to realize how-
bounteous nature and l^rovideuce have been to us.
we suffer just now from hard times and depressed
industries. You see all this, and more, abroad. We
thittk Eiwd^nd rich in the ocean carn-ing trade. So
she ts -, but many of her best ships are Idle. Steam-
ship lines, in some in^^tances, alternate with eacii
other, running only half the time. Manufacturers
are depressed everywhere. Working meu here
are dissatisfied with wages, and unwise and
lamentable counsels here recently led to lawless
acts, from which in the end no one
will suffer so much a*i their authors and
abettors aud those th«^- assume to repre.seni. I wish
they could all goto France aud England and see the
work men and women do there, and hear of the
wages they receive. England, deluding the 12
counties of Wales, is not larger than tho State of
New-York. It cont:uns 24.lKKl.000 people. Loolc
at a fact or two : One or two hundred men own half
of England. Their estates are princely reservations
for game and pleasure and opulence. One man may
ride 13 miles in one direction and nearly a« far in
the other on his own estate ; and when he dies hii
eldest son takes it alL
The State of New- York has less than 5.000,000.
Suppose there were five times as many, and then
that one-half the State was given up to tbe monopoly
and pleasure of 1 50 noblemeu. Suppose, in addi-
tion, men and women labored In the fields and
mines, and that the wages were only thcrse paid
in England. Suppose cmly one man In three
had a vote or voice In public affairs or in
making laws, and that the great body of working
men were wholly excluded from all part in choosing
the members of the only House of Parliament in
which the seats are not hereditary. Then suppose
taxation to maintain a standing army In whicJi com-
missions are sold for money, or given to foub and re-
lations : and tithes taken to maintain an Established
Church in which Uviugs are S'dd to the highest bidder
or bestowed as patronage. WTiat would the working
men of Pennsylvania or Ohio think of such condi-
tions ? We are all workinir men In America. Ko
class has a monopoly of the right t*> call Itself the
working class here. I have always worked, and al-
ways been compelled to work, and my Bympatlde*
are* all with honest labor ; I believe in its dignity
and in all its rights. But when the tldines of tb*
strike reached me in Paris, under my eyes was a
spectacle which seemed to heighten the madneu of
what men in America were doing. Tlie (xovemment
of PVance wan borrowing money, and on the curb-
stone in the s: reet sat men all night to get each his
turn in tlie morning to invest in the loan. They were
workmen, who, living as workmen, do not and reed
not live here, and working for wages which American
workmen would scorn, had by hixik or by crook saved
50 francs each. Fiftv franc* make 10 American dol-
lars, and these all-night watchers were thereto buy
a $10 bond, on which tney were to get 4 per cent,
interest- There sat the working man of .France,
amid the luiurv of the more fortunate, contented
with what fate Vad sent him. Can it be that liberty
and prosperilv have spoiled any portion of the Amer-
ican people till they cannot endure their share in a
Season of common adversity I
Another advantage of every class in America im-
pres.sed me — the fact tliat we Imve no near and dan-
gerous neighbors. On the banks of the Danube Kus-
sians and Turks are killhig each other. This does
not endanger or affect us. except that It creates
more market for the things we have to sell. How is
it with the Old Worid, where nations adjoin each
other I Ever^- people is in danger, even' tax-payer and
every working man and workiug woman is In-
volved. Great Britain must hav« a road to India,
where she governs 180,000. 0(K) human beings with
the bayonet. She most therefore guard the Dar-
danelles, the Persian Oult the Suez Canal, jmd Con-
stantinople. But Russia, and Turkey, and Get^
many, and Austria, and France, and the reKt, ar«
interested also in these same things,- or In what they
call the balance of power. and on Ums
judgment or caprice of kings and ruleM
depends the question whether men mnst fight azkd
die, and women must toll and reap in half the king-
doms of the earth. Our country stands apart by her-
self in the amplitude of her own dominions. It is
said the American fiag is not to be seen as oftaa a*
otlier fiags floating from mastheadb in foreign ports.
This is true : It ought to be otherwise — iit most b«
otliorwise. But without meeting it often oai the sea,
you know and feel that the starry flag la at home,
and that from home It makes its infiuence and power
felt around the world. You see and feel
that' H shelters and protects more Uberty,
more Individual prosperity, more of homan right,
and more bright promls** for the future than can be
found in any other land. Kingsliip. monarchy,
TjobiHty, aristocracy may be good things— good for
the few witliin the charmed circle — ^but give me a

Albany, N. Y., Aug, 14.— Tlon. Roscoe
Conkling passed throuj»h this *:iiy on his way
to Utica to-day. He was tendered a reception by
the citiaeas. The Senator was introduced and
welcomed by Hon. Rufus W. Peckhaib, to whom
he responded as follows : _^
Kelt to the spot which a man calls his home
the place of hia birth is the dearest spot in all
the world. For me that birth-place spot la Al-
bany, and hence, fellow-citixMis, you can readily
Tmderstand the pleasnxa with which I ffreet you. I
knew many of your fathers, and as a chUd one of my
greatest siomirations was that elegant gentleman
whose son has jUHt spoken of me to you in terms of
ao much kindness and courtesy. As a man I have
known the son, and it always gives me great pleasure
to meet with him. Fellow-cituens, T most smcerely
thank you for this greeting and for the realization
thns given of the fact that as an Albanian I
■tin havs a place on the roll of your city.
I am gratefuhand proud for the evidence of your re-
gard, and beg to aasnxe you that nothing that con-
cerns your interest or that of your dty can ever be a
matter of indifference to me. This stately (^ity of
Albany, standing at the mouth of the Mphawk
azid the bead of the Hudson, in the .midst
of a valley the like of which for beauty
1 han'e never seen, may well be a source of prido to
you. Acain. let me say that I can never be fndlffer-
eaft to Its interests or yours, whatever my lot or

WALKING rOH A SMALL WAGES. X
THE MATCH RACE AT PEOVTDEyCE — PEDES-
TBIAXISM FOR THE CHAMPIONSaiP SO
CALLED — DOLE DEFEATS BROWX IN A
SEVEN-MILE WALK.
Sptciai Digpat^ to the XeicYori T^mes.
Providence, R. I., Aug. 1-t.— Despite the
excessive snitryness of the weather to-day, upward
■of l.OOO people witnessed the seven-mile walking
zoateh between Lester C. Dole. of New-
Haven, Conn., and William Brown, of Providence.
R. I. The articles of agreement show that the
match was for $500 and the championship of Ameri-
ca, so called. Some little time ago Dole issued what
he called a challenge to the world, which was prompt-
ly taken up by Brown, and after the usual
amount of preliminaries had been settlei^l.
the match under consideration was consum-
mated. The start was fixed for 3:30 o'clock,
but liearly an hour elapsed before the men pot in an
appearance. All being in readiness, they were sent
on .their way. Brown having a shade the best
of the send-off. At the quarter pole he
led the 'way. At the half-mile jwst they
were side by side, bnt in the next 440 yards Dole
spurted and wont on with the lead- But he was not
allowed to maintain it long, as Brown came
down the home stretch with a rush, and
finished the first mile about a yard aht^ud.
For the next quarter of a mile Dole succeeded in
getting up .to Brown's shoulder, and a few strides
further on he passed his man. Brown responded
with a cnont^T »pnrt, and so they kept on
for several hundred yards. Kearing the completion,
of the second mile Brown let hiiuseu out in u fine
burst of speed, and crossed the score for the second
time at least half a doren yards in front. Throuphout
the whole of the third mile Brown maintained tbo
front position, although Dole kept pushing him. very
elose. About eight yards separated them when they
went over the course. On entering the next quarter
of a mile Dole got within two yiirds of his
leader, and at the two and a quarter miles
they were tocether again. Brow-n fiui:«btKi
the third mile about six yards in front ot Dole. The
fourth mile was productive of a verv stubburu con-
test. First Brown would be leading oy two or three
yards, and then they would be together agaifr
and ao the excitement was kept up for the whole
of this mile. Brown having three yards the
best of it. Entering the fifth mile, the Providence
man made a fine effort to get away from I>ule. and at
one time there was a gap of 10 yards between them,
but this wa.«t reduced by Dole witliout any ap-
parent effort. The finish of the fifth mile
was 1 Brown first, 10 yards ahead of Dole. The sixth
mile whA also very closely contested, but Brown
was still m front at its completion. "WTion
they had got fairly into the last mile Dole
let himself out in real earnest, and went
on with a commanding lead. Brown tried
hard to keep up with hia opponent, but ho was now
getting very shaky on his legs, and it was plain that
he was beaten. Dole kept nnandreached the winning
post 15 yards ahead. Time for the seven miles,
1:00: 44^. Edward Plummer was the Referee.
GENERAL TELEGRAPH MWS
ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN.
A FEARFUL CALASUT7 AVERTED — A TIE
PLACED ACROSS THE BAILS OP THE CON-
CORD RAILBOAD^IT IS DISCOVERED IN
TISIE TO SAVE THE WHITE MOUNTAIN
EXPRESS FROM BEING WRECKED.
Special DUpateh to tMe jr«o- York n»teL
Boston, Aug. 14. — Several attempts have
been made by unknown persons to wreck trains
on the Concord Hailroad, which runs between
Nashua and Concord, N. H. The last attempt,
made to-day, was at precisely the same point
at which an attempt was made a fort-
night ago to wreck a passenger train
by removing the bolts from the tracks.
This time the miscreants placed a chestnut-tree,
about 16 inchej wide, across one rail until it
nearly reached the other, thus leaving one end
on the ground. It was placed directly across the
rails on a curve in the roEid, about &alf a mile
above the Pennchuck Bridge. The engineer of
the Vermont Central through freight discov-
ered Ae obstruction when his train was about
20 r.gns away, and he at once applied the steam
brakes to his engine and also whistled
down brakes, but it was impossible to
stop the train, which seeme<l to be in
a fair way to become a total wreck. Fortunate-
ly, however, the "pilot" in front of the loco-
motive struck the tie in such a manner
as to throw it just off the track, thus pre-
venting a general smash and probable
loss of life. The train was brought
to a stand!»till, and, upon examination, it was
found that the tie was as dangerous a one as
could Save possibly been selected to do its in-
tended wort of wrecking the train, being
nearly 16 inches on its face, and running to
the shape of a wedge. If the engine
had not been one with a pilot attached, the ob-
struction would surely, have destroyed the
train. ^Vhat appears singular about it is that
the down train had passed by on the other track-
The engineer and the traiu hands made a
thorough search of the woods in the vicinity
for the rascals, but no one was found. Later,
however, word was brought to this city that the
same team was seen in that locality that was
seen on the other occasion, and that it was
hitched in the woods, and was accom-
panied by two men. It was probablv the
intention of the wretches to wreck the \Vhito
Mountain express, due at that point at 3:4(3
P. M. This train consisted of an engine, bag-
gage, two passenger, and two parlor cars, well
mled. At this point it ran at full speed, and
bad not the freight passed a fearful calamity
could not have been averted, as the train would
undoubtedly have been plunged into the river
15 or 20 feet below.

OTHER RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.
Toledo, Ohio, Aug. 14. — A ooUision oc-
curred last liight at niidnipht between the
Canada Southern passenger train, outward
ibound. and an incoming freii^ht train on the
Lake Shore Road, a few rods south of the Mill-
bum Wagon Works in this city. The freight
train was thrown into the ditch, and the engine
of the passenger train was disabled. It is re-
ported that one lady passenger was slightly in-
jured. The body of Lewis Young, engineer of
the C-anada Southern train, was found in the
wreck this morning. He resided here, and leaves
a family. Ko othf r person was injured.
PiTTSBtTRo, Penn., Aug. 14. — An accident oc-
curred at McCandless Station on the Allegheny
VaUev Railroad, at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
The fimlonton accommodation train southward,
cue hour lat*>, ran into the rear of a train of
cars loaded with refined oil which was standing
on the main track. The oil on the rear car of
the oil train took fire from the engine, and the
flames, spreading, consumed the engine, bag-
gage, and two passenger cars of the accommoda-
tion train. Conductor W. B. Waltham, En-
gineer \V. Cnnningham, and the tireman, of the
arcomuiodatiun train, were badly burned. Two
or three passengers were slightly burned.
Bknsinoton. Vt.. Aug. 14.— At 7:15 o'clock
this evening a collision occurred at Hoosic
Junction, on the Troy and Boston Railroad. A
train left Troy at ry.SO P. M., loaded with es-
rursionistsfor Bennington, and was run Into by
the Montreal freight train. One passenger car
was AiVrecked, and the engine, with a number of
freight cars totally destroyed, causing ^eat ex-
citement. The pai^senger train was left partly
on the main track and partly on a side-line.
The warning signal at the depot was not dis-
pluye<i, and, ha*i the swiu-h not been opened
slightly just before accident occurred, the loss of
life would have teen great. The injured are :
J. B. Clark, engineer, arm broken ; Stick-
ney, fireman, both legs run over ; Mrs. E. N.
Dauchy. of Troy, leg broken ; Mrs. Conant, of
West Rupert, 'Vt., head cut ; Mr. Ward, of
Albany, seriously injured in the back and
head. The telegraph operator at the
station endeavored to open the switch, but wa;^
run over, had his leg crushed, and was thrown
down an embankment. Medical assistance and
a \\Tecking train were dispatched from Troy,

annual report showed real estate ■valued at
$32,752 75 more than in January, and that
stocks had depreciated $70,250. Yet not un-
til Sept. 29, 1875, after a meeting of the
bank Trustees, held the night before,
did he have the bank closed, and the
complaint verified by Mr. Ellis alleged that the
bank was insolvent for over a year past. Seven
hundred new depositors opened accounts In the

impression gains ground here that the price

will go to work for that figure. The
Georges Creek Company will close up its 7,000
tons this evening, when work will cease at that
mine for the present. The Blaenavon Company
have completed a small order, in which the
purchaser paid the additional 5 cents ; the mine
closed on Saturday. The Franklin and Potomac
mines will continue running, and the
price will be governed in the future by that
paid elsewhere. These mines are on the Balti-
more Road. It is expected that after toKlay
no mines will be worked outside of those
near Piedmont, and that the companies will

imOUBLES ON TUE ERIE RAILROAD
Erie, Penn., Aug. 14.— A freight con-
ductor on the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
was discharged yesterday for refusing to add
another car to his train, which, the conductor
claimed, was already too heavy. In conse-
quence of his discharge several other conductors
declined to take out their trains. This morning
complaint was made against four of them for at-
tempting to incite a strike. They were promptly
arrested by the police and committed to jail in de-
fault of $1,000 each. An unsuccessful attempt
was made to bring them before Judge Galbraith
this afternoon on a writ of habeas corpus. They
will have a hearing to-morrow. About 20 em-
ployes are on strfice whose places have been
filled bv new men. All the trains have run
regularly. The strikers assert that tlie alleged
cause of the freight conductor's discharge was
not the real oue, but that he was <lischarged be-
cause of his prominence in the late strike.
FIREMEN'S STATE CON VENTION.
LocKPORT, N. Y., Aug. 14.— Tho Fire-
men's State Convention assembled in tho Opera-
house in this city at i>:;}0 A. M. to-day, aud
was called to order by B. K, Williams, of
Ithica, President of tho Firemen's Association.
The adnress of welcome was delivered by John
Hodge, Chief Engineer of the Fire Depa-ijmcnt
of thia city and Second Vice-President of tho
Association, and was responded to in an appro-
priate manner by President Williams. After a
number of speeches, at the suggestion of Miwor
Poucher, of Oswego, and Judge Butts, of Mou-
ticello. the discussion of topics appointed for
tho.consideration of the convention, wa-s taken
up and largely ehtered into. It is expected
that the parade to-morrow will be very imposing.
1 he city is decorated, and ever\'thing has a holi-
day appearance. The weather is fair. The con-
vention reassembled at Hodge's opera-htiuse at
2 o'clock. The session was occupied in the di-s-
cus.sion of topics suggested for the convention.
The afternoon and evening trains brought ad-
ditional delegates aud firemen with apparatus.
THE CHAUTAUQUA ASSEMBLY.
FaIRPOFNT, N. Y., Aug. 14.— The lec-
ture of Rev. Joseph Cook on '* Skepticism and
Spiritualism," which he began to deliver at 11
o'clock this morning, was continued during tho
noon hours, and made a profound impression
on those present. Refering to recent events, he
said that the great railway kings ha<l neglected
the religious culture of the masses of men un-
der their control, and had demoralized them by
running their trains upon the Sabbath, aud de-
priving their employes of their day of rest; and
now these untaught men, led, as all such
are, by quacks, hud rusen in rebellion, and
l»revented the trains which they persisUjd in
running on Sundays from running at all.
One could not reason with starving or even
hungr}* men. The industrious emploves of these
companies did not originate the strike or com-
mit the outrages; but, when wild from empty
stomachs, the Conmmni-sts, roughs, thieves, and
rascals led them intx^i excess aud wanton waste
of property and human life. Almost within
sight of these grounds there were railways
whose managers observed the Sabbath, and
eudeavored to promote the Christian culture of
their men. At 2 o'clock James Hughes, of To-
ronto, introduced Prof. S. L, Greene, of Belle-
ville. Ontario, a deaf mute, who gave an
interesting and instructive pantomimic lec-
ture, by sitms representing uatural objects,
the emotions, personal qtiaiities. the profes-
sions, &c., closing by repeating the Lord's
Prayer by gestures. At 3 o'clock a meeting of
the Ohio workers was held in the Pavilion, at
which 500 persons were present. Spofiches
were made by Lewis Miller, of Akron, who pre-
sided ; President PajTie, of t!ie Ohio Universi-
tv ; H. H. Sage, of Cincinnati, and others. At
1 o'clock an eventide conference was conducted
by Rev. B. T. Vincent, and the Young Apollo
Qub, of New-York, gave an attractive concert
( t 8 o'clock.
THE TEXAS AND PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Philadelphia, Penn., Aug. 14.— -A meet-
ing of the -IHrectors and stockholders of the
Texas and Pacific Railroad was held here to-day.
The annual report, which was read,
states that 480 8-100 miles of track have
been completed, of which 110 were finished
during the year just closed. The receipts for
the year were $3,381,976 47, and profits,
$318,985 02. The passenger revenue has
Increased 25 8-10 per cent., and 101,-
501 more tons of freight were hauled
than the previous year. Un<^r the adjustment,
out of $9,130,550 41 of the indebtedness of
the California and Texas Railway Construction
Company, $8,474,911 36 had been satisfied by
July 2, 1877. On June 1 tho liabilities of the
road were only $18,550,578 01, with 444
miles in operation, 50 locomotives, and
1,050 cars of all kinds, being a reduction of
$3,868,275 56— a gain of 120 miles, 635
cars, and 32 engines. The balance of fioatlng
indebtedness was only $703,264 72, against
$93.'5,257 67 in June, 1875; and the company
has on hand to pay this debt $394,000 of its
first and consolidated mostgage bonds.
RAFTING FROM THIS CITY TO BOSTON.
Boston, Mass., Aug. 14. — The experi-
ment of towing a raft of spars from New- York
was successfully concluded to-day by the ar-
rival at T~ wharf of the steam-tug Knicker-
bocker, having in tow a raft of 180 spars, val-
ued at $20,000. Some of the spars were 100
feet long and 40 inches in diameter. The raft,
including the boat and line', was nearly a quarter
of a mUe in length. By this mode of trans-
portation more than $8,000 in freight was
saved. The timber was cut at London, On-

From Our Oun OorretponidenL
Thbhton. N. J., Tuesday, Aug. 14, 1877.
The Greenback Party in New-Jersey has been
here to-day, has fretted and fumed away several val-
uable hours, and the result of their monUiings and
deliberations is a dozen long and illc^r^ resolutions
and an impracticable candidate, nominated by an irreg-
ular gathering of men, very few of whom are known,
and that few known not to be admired or accepted
as political advisers. As a figure-head, Mr. Thomas
D. Horsey, the Greenback candidate for Governor, is,
perhaps, better than his party, bnt he is only an
awkward instrument in tbe hands of a squirming and
discontented following, each of whom has his pot
theory of finance, andnotwo of whom can he expected
to pull harmonioosly together during the campaign.
The convention seems to have been a profound secret to
everybody in New-Jersey except Mr- J. A. Beecher,
the publisher of a Greenback weekly in Newark, which
has carried the name of David Davis at the head of
its editorial column for President for a year. So
when the few straggling delegates began to oome
into Trenton this morning, marshaled by
Beecher, old Trenton residents, who like
to see a crowd when there is to be a convention,
laughed a quiet laugh In their sleeves, and let Mr.
Beecher and Ms party have their talk out in a qniet
and solitary way, undismayed by spectators or mis-
chievous intruders- Eleven o'clock was the hour
appointed for the mustering of the Green-
back forces, but at that hour scarcely
more tlian a baker's dozen of delegates
awaited the call to order. The convention was held
in a little room in the Board of Trade Jiuildlng that
could not have held 150 pers^ms comfortably. The
time had come for proceeding, and a counting of heads
showed that the entire company, delegates, reporters,
and lookers-on. who didn't care whether " school
kept or not," numbered 20 persons. Those of tho
delega^s present, as also most of those who camo
afterward during thff day, were self -constituted, and
they had come on the strength of a general invita-
tion through tho Newark Greenback organ.
Isaac Henllngs, of Tronton, waa made temporary
Chairman, and Edward Rowland, of Hammonton,
temporary .Secretary. As no delegates had been ap-
pointed it was not convenient to call the roll, and
the following committees wore appointed : On Cre-
dentials— J. D. Holton, Cumberland ; C- T. Unangat,
Essex: A. Budd, Burlington; H- H. Van
Duser, Warren ; Isaac HenllnES. Mercer. On K«-
solutions — Edward Howland, Atl&ntic ; J. A. BeecJior,
Essex ; S- D. Dillaye, Mercer ; John G. Drew, Union ;
William Baxter, Essex ; B. P. MaAllister, Gloucester;
Thomas D. Hoisey, Pasjtslc. On Permanent Organ-
ization—P. P. Field, Atlantic I P. C. Bliss. Essex i
Henry Johnston. Middlesex ; I^ois Bristol,
Cumherlond; J. Ryerson, Essex. This list more
than exhausted the list of delegates present, but
it about represented the number of counties that
were sufHciently attached to the greenhack move-
ment to appear at Trenton on this solemn occasion.
Geu. Hoxsey annoancedthathe came aself-constitutea
delegate, and that his feelings prompted him to
say that although the convention was small
in numbers Its action wonld be felt in a way that
could best he described perhaps by the word im-
mense. Tln'se werw not Gen. Hoxsey's wordR, for
they wero many, but ihls was what ao would hnvo
said if hf )iad spoken so briefly. An adjournment
was taken until 1 o'cIr>ck, and it Is to
bo presumed that evorj'body immediately went
off to write a platform, judging from the abundant
supply of re.'iolutions ttiat was afterward obtained.
It was 2 o'clock before tliey reassembled, and when
they did the liall contained about 60 per-
sons, -IT) of whom at most were dele-
gates. Beecher, the most active greenback
advocate of the body was supreme. Without pre-
tending to admire his party. Trenton j)eople would
wlsli that bo might couie by something which woiUd
give him fn^eubacks, as he never coiild find a safii-
dent quantity while in business here to enable htm
to keep his creditors in good humor- There was
Henllogs, a portly man and an incurable sore-
head, full of imo vaporingR ; (h'lx. Hoxsey,
who always bepna well and shortly lo«es hia
temper, launching out into invectives that would be
tumble if it were not overdone until it becomes
fanny- C. E. Tullor, a pork packur of Trenton, who
might have escaped failure if there bad been more
greonbacks in cirt-ulatlon, loomed up full of hopeful-
ness and native el(>quence-
When Mr. Henllngs called the convention to order
and calletl for the reports of the committees, none of
them were ready. So. to while, away ihe time, ex-
Chancellor O. S. Halstead, of Newark, made an ad-
dress to tho audience of throe score delegates and
repo^u^rs. Hi** speech was extraordinary for its lack
ofsense. He declared that thin country is now,
and hnA been for eight years, under a CJov-
emment that nnbodv waut«>d. and thay^hey would
never consent to. He charged the Kt>)mbUcan Party
with having bronght ruin on the i>^utrj', and tho
Democrats with neglectine to ^;dop the ruination.
This was all gnxitying hitelligence to the little
>»thering of Greenbackers, whom he still further
deUghteu by assuring them that the men they nomi-
nated would be elected, and finally stirrwl
them up to an enthusiafttic pitch by demanding that
the Admini.ttration "take back that infernal nunseiutv
of John Sherman." The tumultuous applause that
followed this sentiment was palpably strength-
ened in effect by the opportune arrival of
two small boys, who appeared to thoroughly
relish the speaker's snggcstion, and waited about for
raoTn of the same sort. The Committee on Creden-
tials had now finished their arduous task, aud re-
ported di'leifates present from a duzen counties. The
permanent organization was formed by the election
of F. ('. Bli-Sfi. ot Etisex. tm President ; Dr. Haines,
of Burlinirtou ; B. F. MeAJlister. Gloucester ;
G. W. Crussy. Atlantic : S. D. Dillaye,
Slercer, and Thomas P. Proctor, of Cumberland, as
Vice-Presidents, and Edward Howland, of Atlantic ;
Henry Johnston, of Middlesex, and C E. Tuller, of
Mercer, as Secretaries. These oflBcera did not find
tliemselves overburdened with their duties, bat wore
the honors of empty oifice with evident
pride. Mr. Bliss made a long speech, which
was f ul 1 of talk about tho press being
"purchased by the tools of boudholders," and he
mxide some aUnsiou to "Tital and ftmdamcntal
principles " without very distinctly showing what he
was driving at, and concluded that because " car-
casses-strewed the way of Gallileo" the Greenback
Party was about to begin a great moral reform. His
declaration that "gold is one of the greatest carsoa
of modem times " rather stunned his audience, and
they were ao ror bebind Mr. Blisd on that point that
they rewarded liis eloquence with very feeble np
plause.
Mr- Beecher now read the resolutions of the com-
mittee, aud did it In a tremendously portentous fash-
ion. Everybody who had a resolution which he
wanted incorporated handed It In, and the whole
batch was adopted. Mr. Beecher then took charge of
them, and after the convention he cut and pruned
and rearranged them so that much of the rubbish
that had so delighted the convention, and which it
supposed was to be a part of the platform, was
thrown away. As edited by Mr. Beecher, the plat-
form Is as follows :
1- Resolved, We demand the Immediate repeal of the Be-
suniption act, which buK grenti}' ugjcnivftbtMl the evils
cauKetl by contracting the curr»ucy ^12.500,000 Bixico
the cloke of Iho war, anil increadiiiK to that amount ^e
bouded debt of the nation ; aud we condemn the refimd-
iug of 5-2U bonds in yold, which by law ore payable in
currency.
2. J?M0ie«l That that part of the law of Feb. 25, 1862,
authurizing the liwulng of the national currency known
as Kreenbacks, which limited their power as a legal
tender oo lu to except duties ou imports and lnt«n*st
on the public debt, was disgracefiil to the Congress
which authorized It, and stamped on every bill pardal
repodtatlun-
3. }taolved. That the act of May 9. 1872, reported to
the House of Reprenentatives Feb. 9, 18?2, m>m the
Committee on Coiimge. "Weights, and Measures, by
which silver was curruptly aud against tne wishes and
welfare of the people demonetlced as a legal tender, was
an outrage upon the rights and interests uf tho nation.
yi«i demand its unconditional repeal-
4. Reso)ved, We demand that the issue of all money '
whetiter paper, silver, or gold, and regulating the
value thereof, bo Issued by the Government In porauanoe
vf Its prerogative of sovereignty, and that It shall not
delegate this power, directly or indirectly, to national
bank& and oorporatlona : that bank notes snal] be retired
from circulation, and the General Government liave no
counoctloD with banka or baoklng, and that nn pap«r
muuey nliall be alluwt^ in circulaCaon except that issued
b)' the United States, and sustained by Itti sovereignty aud
the outlre wealth and credit of the nation.
5. RfSolveA, Tbat the letter of the President accepting
the nomination, which Incomuderately committed him to
an ImmudlaCe resmuption of specie paj'ments, was not
tho deliberate act of a stat^isman, but a yieldinK to the
clamor of the nioni^ power that Bhf>uld not bind him to
the pledge in the face of the fact that at the time there
was lesti tliau ^^0,IK>U,000 in gold ati the basis for tho re-
demption of *383,Ot>0,(MK> leifal-tonder notes, ^5t3,-
OOO.OOU national bank uutea, $48,000,000 of fractional

and $1,378,000,000 dao depomtors in Havings baiiks. all
or any oue of which UabiUties In the first hour of a geri-
f>ra] demand tor Hpecie arising from the action of the
gold gamblers making a comer in gold, or the accident of
panic, would have resulted lu national bankruptcy.
6. Jtesotved. That the act of March 18, 1869, entitled
" An act to strengthen the pubUc credit of the United
States" by which tho bonds of the Govemmeut payable In
lawful money were declared to be payable in gold, waa u
fraud on the nation, imposed upon Congress
by a combination of bondholders for selfish pur-
poses. We demand Its Immediate repeal and
the enforcement of the act of Peb. 26, 1862, anthoristng
the issue of the 5- 20 bonds and greenbacks In the follow*
iug term.* : " And such TTnited States notes shall be re-
eefved the same as ooln at their par value in payment for
imy loons that may be hereafter aokl or negotiated by
the Secretary of the Treasury."
7. MssoUmo, We demand that the cauae of the late dis-
torbances shall he removed, by the inaugnratlon of a fi-
nancial policy which will give money to prodneUve in-
dustry, and full employment, at good wages, to labor, in-
stead of an increase of the Army ; and we condemn the
present and paat flnandal policy, which In 10 years haa
bfooght the mast proq>er(raa nation of the world to a
eonmUon bordorlnc on TOfTolntion, embarrassed omtlaed
nesvly all oarbaaLoiaasi&en, closed half onr factories, n»-
jh^Aawklttction on(»-hatfi and W-darsnmiU ttM ■»-.
_ . of ^4,000,000 men Idla and ■terrlne^
_ the midst of MCkfnae abmtdaace.
6. Keaohttd, That in order to oonmme their prodttet*"
labor must be pajd good wages, and that the contlmwA
reduction of wage* eonaeqnant upon oontractlon has so
reduced the power ot labor to consume that workshops
are eloeed and miSloiw on idle.
9. JZesotoed, niaSeqiialityaiidnidformltyfai taxation la
afnndamental mtoetole of oonatttotlonal law ; that any
and eraty statute whloh diraetly or indirectly exempu
one class from taxation while ft impoeea that taxation
upon another daaa. la unioat, arbitrary, and should be
rasisted; that the exeinpaon of any bond or obligation
from taxation by the town, county, dty. State, or No-
tional Legislature which Issues it. Is a violation of that
equality of rights Government is bound to secure ; it is
an Infringement upon the laws of proi»erty which no exi-
gency can secure and no Law can Jorafy.
^0. Itesotred, That manhood soffrage shall forever l>o
held inviolate, and we condemn the imsuccessful at-
tempt of RepubUcan and Democratie politicians in New-
York State to enact a bill, already possied in several
States, depriving of their votes the hundreds of thou-
sands whom contraction and attempted resumption has
reduced to abject poverty, and we warn the impover-
ished working men of New-Jersey that it ia a part of the
conspiracy of the money power to first pauperize, and
then dlfifrnncbise labor.
11. Baolved, Deeming the Independent Greenback
Party OS the tme reform party, and believing that all
true reformeTB hare a common object, namely, a correc-
tion of wrong, and the bettering of the condition of tho
people, and we relief from bnidens existing, in order to
combine movementa in favor Of needed reforms, we
cordially Invite the tax and lobor refomierH to unite with
ua, as we pledge ourselves to secure the election of our
candidatea, and in their conventions to ratify the some,
and In the Senatorial and Ansembly districts to coalesce
in nominating men who will stand by our united meas-
ures of reform in currency, tax reform, and labor reform.
The motion to nominate having been made and
seconded, Mr. Thomas D. Hoxsey was named for
Governor by Mr. J- A- Beecher, and after one or two
inconsequential speeches, he was chosen to be
the Ktandard-bewrer of the Greenback Party
of New-Jersey. Mr. Hossey, In acceptiiw?
the honor which he so full^^expected.
acknowledged in a melancholy way thairhe had all
his life long been a leader In forlorn hopes, and then
he wcmdered sadly back through his experiences.
He x>athetically observed that there were prob
ably few men in the State who would
choose to stand where he stood to be a target for the
" sneers andgibes of a subiddized press." He became
wrathftil as he spoke of the subsidized press, and then
went on to violently denounce the money power, the
bondholders, and everything outside the quirkv
greenback circle, and sat down in a profuse perspira-
non amid desperate applause from tne 40 delegates-
That was about all tnere was of the convention. A
committee conBlsting of Messrs. Howland, Dillaye,
and Beecher— always Beecher — afterward prepared
the following, which la to be issued as an address to
the people of the State : ~~
The Independent Greenback Party of New-Jersey ap-
peals to the Industry of the State to Join in protesting
against the almurd policy of contraction pursued by the
JSational Administration, under the deceptive plea of a
return to specie pa}Tnents. Already the coat of tliifi
legislation in favor of money and against manhood, has
been to the industry of the country three times
more than the whole national debt, while it has checked
the Industrial oKsociatiou of the people, stopped their
procresR toward industrial indenendenoe, filled the land
with dishpartened and Impovenshed trumps, and so de-
moralized tbose placed by the people's miffrage in tem-
porary control of the people's well-being that they
dare appeal to the bayonet to fdlence the popular
discontent. An indtjstrious people need no militor)-
to fort-e thorn to their pursuit*, while a bank-
rupt people means a bankrupt Govemnieut. By a per-
sistent oonrRe of legislation the Republican Party in
power, aided by the Democratic Party, hoe made banking
and bond holding so pre-eminently the most profitable
business of the country tliat tho producers, on
whom the whole charge of interest comes, are
disheartened and desoerate at finding tho
results of their labors taken from them, and penury the
only legacy they can hope to leave their children. This
wasteful dlarfirard of the people's rights thus inaugurated
by the Contra! Government bos been initiated by the sub-
ordinate State aud local odminl strati on s, so that a career of
peculation, extravagance, and fraud has been car-
ried on until the peoplb. crushed under taxation
and deprived of income, are in danger of becoming reek-
lew and violent Hunger knows no law and order. To
put an end to tho wholesale robi>ery of the people, the In-
dependent Greenback Party Invites all well-meanijig pi-r-
souA to carefully consider these resolutiona, which were
adopted in oonventlon.
A SNAKl^ CEREUti IN BLOOM.
A unique sight for tliis latitude was pre-
sented In the drug store of Dr. E. Kunze, Xo. 606
Third-avenue, last evening. At 7:30 o'clock four
hnda of a specimen of the cereus serpentinus,
or snake cereus, began to open simultaneously.
At 8 o'clock they were in full bloom. At
sunrise thi.^ morning they will close forever. The
snake cerens has the pecnliarity of thriving in the
moat arid atmosphere possible. In its native soil in
torrid America it aflfects high elevations, on
the Andes Mountains principally, where mois-
ture seldom comes. This peculiarity distin-
guishes it from the other cactuses of the cereus
family which have been introduced into this country,
these requiring a hnmld atmosphere, and con.se-
(juently renders it extremely dimcult to propagate
to iterfoction. it requiring a special shelter and spe-
cial care. The specimen on exhibition last eveninii
cousiste<l of three slender pale green, serrated shoots,
the tallest being seven feet high. The irreatest height
attained by the uncultivated plant in its native state
is 1 5 feet. The edges of the grooves from top to bot-
tom were dotted with white specktt, out or which
grew numerous hair-like points. Tlie pliint
j^iosseases the peculiarity In common with
other cactuses of being knobbed iit inter-
vals, but otherwise stands perfectly straight. Tbe
n-o-son of its name. a.s given by I)r. Kunze. is that
sometimes, when very tall and without support, tho
top of the plant bend.s over, giving it a serpentine ap-
pearance, i-iae flower stood on^he extreme top, two
others were together about a foot and a half below.
and the fourth about a foot below these. The
flowers were smaller than those of other varieiies
of cereus with which Xew-Vorkers are familiar.
They were about 7 inches from root of stem to base,
and about A\ iuchea across at the top. They were
vase shaped, the Ropals and pet^bi being pure white,
the stamens yellow, and the pistil white and star-
shaped when opened, which whs not until, about
midniglit. The interior was hollow. They gave
forth a strong odor which bore a resemblaiice to ii
mixture of the perfume of the rose and the jonquil, the
latter largelv prevailing. The specimen was raised
by CoL Henry G. Stebbins, after much diffivulty.
It Is 15 years old. The average age fur
flowering of the plant ia from seven to 15 years.
This one flowered for the first time laj*t year.' Col.
Ktebblns lent it to Dr. Kunze for experiment and ex-
amination. The doctor has a large numl>er of cereus
plants of other sorts xuider cultivati<m. He has made
them a study and has mode long reports annually
of Ids observations in regard to them at the
annual meetings of the Eclectic M edical
Society of the Stat© of New-York- A decocti-m
is made from the plants of the cereus
family, which Is said to be very effective in
all ofifoctions of the heart. ITiere la another
bud on CoL Stebbins' plant which will open this
evening, and two others that have only recently be-
gun to develop. The average era of development of
the buds is five weeks. Large numbers of persons
visited the store lost evening, and the doctor was
kept busy explaining the peculiarities of the plant.

Special Dispatch to ths Ifew-York Times.
Detroit, Mich., Aujc- 14. — Tho sport of re-
gatta week commenced to-day, with the second an-
nual regatta of the Detroit River Navy. The at-

up stream and return, there were three competitors,
the Gognocs. of Battle Creek, Shoew&caemtttes. of

in 8m.. and eonUng In at the last 250 feet in ad-
vance of the Monroe boat, the Battle Creek men
falling far to the rear. R. T. Wilson and P. W-
Tompkins were the team, and their time was 15m.
44s. In the Junior pair-oared race, one mile up
stream aud return, the Detroit ScuUui-s defeated the
Emeralds of Saginaw, by five lengths in 14m. 55s.
The last and chief race of the day, was that of the
ten-oared barges, eight large boats appearing. Tim
course lay throe-quarters of a mile up stream and re-
turn, and the Wyandotte Club won in 8m. 56s. beat-
ing the Challanaogas, of ^Detroit, two lengtlis,
the others considerably behind. The race~
was exciting throughout, and called out
the liveliest demonstration along the course. The
only accident of the day was the breaking down of a
portion of the railing of the grand stand by which:

Wttertiis, It has pleased ^»i^ine Providence to remove
from our midst Mr. Benja-iun Blossom, for upward of
half a cenlurj- one of our most respected merchants ftnd
trustworthy citizens; and
Whereas. We recognize in his honorable life a true
^ ^ J ..^^^. type of the Christian merchant and gentleman; there-

Trade, who havo known him for many years, testif>' our
hiuh appreciation of his character in ever)' relation of
Ufe. ana while deploring his loss nope that his example
will be long held as a precious helrioom for us to emu-
late and follow.
Resolved, That we extend our sympathleato his fomilf
In their sad bereavemeut ; and also
Ii(suWf<i, That we attend his funeral in a body to pay
oar last respects to his remains.
At a meeting of the Faculty of the Beilevne Hospital

nnanimously
RemUied, That this Faculty humbly bow In enhmlssJon,
but with saddened hearts, to the Almighty, who In His
inscrutable providence has suddenly atricien down tn
the meridian of his career one of Its most gifted and be-
loved members, Alpueus B. (.^cosbt.
Jtesolvfd, That In this viwtation it has lost one of it*
most cultured, lucid, impjiepsive, and brilliant lecturers ;
one who in imparting his valuable lessons made study a
pleasure by combining with his wealth of learning an
aptitude of illustration, mingled with wit and humor,
that crowded his class-roi^m. with enthusiastic and ad-
miring scholars.
Rest^ved. That the members of the Faculty monm the
loss of oue of their most accomplished and genial col-
leagues, one whose presence at their official and oodol
reunions was always hoUed with delight.
Resolved. That In his death we feel that Bellevne Hos-
pital ha& t>een bereaved of one of it« moat skilled and
faithful stirgeons, the medical profesolou of one of ica
most eminent practitioners, the country of one of its
noblest citizens, who both In war and in peaee comiib-
uted his talents and energies with patriotic seal in lt« be-
half.
Jitsolved, That we offer our sincere sympotliy- to his
wife and family in this trying ordeal; that while we are
powerless to assuage their grief we commend them to
the Kwoet memories of hit n.<ieful life and to tb« tender

The Money market was easy and without es-
sential change in rates. The Government bond
dealers were supplied at li3'*2 •? cent., while
the ruling rates on stock collaterals were 2a2l2
1? cent. In discounts, » sales of prime names
were at 41^ to 0 ** cent. :. The national bank
notes received at Washington for redemption
amounted to $460,000, Customs receipts
$480,000, and revenue receipU $225,000.
The following were the rates of exchange on
New- York at the undermentioned cities to-day :
Savannah, buying, ig, selling, .I4 ; Charleston,
scarce, nothing doing, ig ^ % premium ; St.
Louis, 50 premium ; Cincinnati, easier, buying
50 discount, selling, 50 premium ; New-Orleans,
commercial, is, bank, I4 ; and Chicago, 50 dis-
count.
, The foreign advices reported the ■ London
market for securities somewhat weaker,- owing
to a hardening in the rates for money and the
expectation that the Directors of the Bank of
England will, at their regular weekly meeting on
Thursday next, advance the minimum rate of
discount to 2 tj F cent. Throe mouths' bills are
now discounted in the open market at 13^^178
V cent., or only i8& li below the present

- The Sterling Exchange market was heavy in.
tone, and the leading drawers reduced their
rates at an early hour to $4 841.2 for 60 day
bills, and to $4 60 for sight, with actual busi-
ness at $4 833.$4 83io. and $4 853>$4 851^.
Demand sterling was relatively firmer in conse-
quence of the advance in the rates for money at
London. The bankers and importers, hcrwever,
are not remitting largely at present, and as the
cotton season is rapidly approaching, the indica-
tions point to still lower rates in the future. ,
The quotations now current are near the specie
importing poiut
' The Gold speculation was tame and devoid
of feature. All the sales were at IO5I4, which
has been the quotation for several days past.
On Gold loans the rates were 1 to 3 ^ cent, for

TtTESDAY, Aug. 14— P. M.
The Tolumo of business on the Stock Ei-
cl-.:i.u3:e was small and thtj market irregular,
»]:-c.ma*:ng fr.^.iusntly between firmness and
d prossion. Late in tho afternoon a weak and
ir. settled ffieling prevailed, and at the close
qii-.ttations showed a decline ranging from I4 to
1 f cent, as compared with those current in
the final di..aiings yesterday. It is generally be-
lieved that the future course of the market will
d.-pend a good deal upon the result of the de-
lili..'ratlons of the joint committee representing
the Western Union and Atlantic and Pacific
Telegraph (^mpanics. The conunittee held a
protracted ses-sion to-day, and fully discussed
tho several propositions submitted for an
equitable adjustment of the qaestiona at
Isiue between the two corporations. The meet-
ing, we -understand, was very harmonious, and
tLo prospects ore considered favorable for an
arrangement, notwithstanding the statements
put afloat to-day by the bear clique that the
apaculative interests of at least one of the mem-
bers of the committee are likely to induce him
to interpose every obstacle in the-way of an ad-
justment. The committeB holds another sea-
Bion thia evening.
The annual report of the CMcaeo and North-
western Railroad Company issued to-day aeta
forth that " tho net restilts of the operatiens of
the company, inclndinir the proprietary roada,
Bhow profits of $1,078,226 for the fiscal year,
from which a dividend of 2I3 V cent., amotrnt-
In; to $536,810, -waa paid to the preferred
shareholders last December. The, balance of
profits, amounting to $541<416, la a Uttls In
