M Sooth Carolina it is perfectly evident
that the Democrats have given up all hope
of haviag carried the State for Tilden, and
are now preparing to give up the Governor-
ship. A« undisputed majority for Hayes of
abont 1^ is conceded. The State Board of
ConTasseTS met yesterday, but, pending legal
decision oa its powers, adjourned. The ex-
cellent xeasons the DemooratM—kadMrs in
South Carolina have for not wishing the
board to do more than merely count
the returns as presented to them, are
shown in the letters from our cor-
respondents. In Florida the last hope
of the Democrat has been swept away,
though they still keep up the gtune of brag.
' On their own figuring the State is shown to
bo Republican by from 800 to 1,000, and the
probability is that when the returns are all
in, the migontv will be something over
1|000. There have been no advices from
Louisiana since our last which materially
change the situation. The Returoiog Board
Hwets to-moiTow, and until it does meet
there is nothing to do but to wait. Senator
Thniman has dediued to attend the count-
ing of the vote in that State, giving sub-
stantially the same reasons as those
•ttribnted to Senator Bayard.
An earnest appeal from the Kepublicans
in Ifissiasippi has been «ent to Gen. Gab-
flKLO, at New-Orleans, asking that when
the gentlemen of both parties who are now
in that eity have finished their work there,
that they come to Mississippi and make a
like examination of the frauds and vio-
lence by which that State, which on a fair
vote is overwhelmingly Bepubiican, has
been made to give a Democratic majority.

Ncw-Obleans, Nov. 15. — Eyerything
in the city to-day is quiet. ' Tnere is nothing in
tbe way of iacoaiing election retoms
to change the eitimates made to show
a small fiepnblicaa miyority im the
State. The communieation addressed yester-
day by visiting Demoorats to the Bepubiican
gottlemen here bas not yet been replied
ta In that eommnnication, signed by
John M. Palmer, Lyman Trumbull
and others, the Demoorats intimated
tiuit a count of actual votes oast would satisfy
tbe coontry at large, and the eonfereac^ was
tnnted with a view of securmg such a cmvass.
6ov. Carroll is in tavor of such a count, iu
they had. it in Maryland. A reply will un\
donbtedly be made to-morrow, but it is under- ^
Stood that tbe Bepublicans addressed—
Jodge Stanley Matthews and others —
will not entertain such a proposition
or recommend it as practicable, deeming' it
neeeaeary that tbe election laws of Louisiana
must be fully complied witb.and that outside par-
ties can have no voice in tbe matter. Grov. Kel-

gloomy view of tbe situation: He has

By Telegraph from our Special Correspondent
Tallahassek, Nov. 15. — The Democrats
of Florida are apt scholars. Within the past
week they hare coaapletely mastered the
somewhat difficult eame of braj;, taught by
their leader. " Sam" Tilden, and by his order
they are now givmg daily exhibitions of their
skill. They know that they have been de-
feated at the noils, in this State ; they cannot
fail to see that the Bepublicans have a major-
ity of the votes oast at the last election ; they
must know that this fact will appear as soon
as the state Betoming Board meets; and
yet they continue to declare wildly
that they have succeeded beyond their meat
saneuine expectations, and that they have un-
doubtedly defeated both the National and
State Republican tickets. In support of this
general statement, however, ttiey bring no
proof. Indeed, taking their otoi figures, con-
ceding to them every tiling they claim,
they are still defeated by several huntlred
votes. This is the deliberate Judgment ef
every fair-minded man who has closely ex-
amined the retnrnS' now in and the Demo-
cratic estimate of tuose yet to hear from.
The followiag tables have been made up
from the most trustworthy source8.| They
give the first authentic information
yet published ol the vote in Florida, and show
clearly that the Republicans have carried the
State beyond any question. The following are
the nine counties carried by the Republicans,
with the m^iorities conceded by tbe Doma-
crats:
Escambia-....- 176'Alachua 727
Duval 928
Nassau 135

Gadsden 467
Leon 2033

This, it will be remembered, is the Demo-
cratio concession. In several of the counties
the Republicans claim larger majorities than
those given. The following are tbe Demo-
cratio megorities in twenty-one counties, as
reported by them:

returns will| arise before the State
Canvassing Board. It is not probable, however,
that the Democrats will be able to commit
such frauds as will render this neoeaaary. They
are closely watched, and any illegal acton their
part will be surely detected. Peeling
the weakness of their ■ position, they
are still wildly telegraphing to the
North for legal and detective talent. Mr.
Tilden and the Democratic Committee
have already flooded tbe State with roughs and
suspicious characters, who are well known to
the Police of New- York. These men have been
detailed to shadow the prominent friends of
Gov. Hayes now in the State, and.
they are doinc their work most effectually.
The sneaking style in which they go about the
town, and the mysterious whispers iii which
they indulge, are exceedingly laughablo. For
some days past thjfiy have provided, the only
amuBemont to be found in Tallahassee.
This morning," however, some know-
ing Democratic lawyers varied the mo-
notony by raising a ridiculous ques-
tion regarding President Grant's admirable
order relative to the canvass in the Southern
States. It will be remembered that in the dis-
patch to Gen. Sherman orderinjr him to give in-
structions .to Gens. Euger and Augur, the fol-
lowing passage occurs : "Should there beany
ground of suspicion of fraudulent count on
either side it should be reported and de-
nounced at once." The question referred to is :
Does the President intend this order in a gen-
eral sense, or does he m^an that Gons. Ruger
and AuoTir shall personally inspect and exam-
ine the count in this State and Louisiana,
and report to bim it there is any evidence
of fraud? Gen. Ru^er, lightly commenting
upon lAiis .^Democratic bugbear, said that he
should of course regard the order -in a general
sense, as the President had intended. Mr.
Manton Marble, of New- York, and the notorious
Sam Bard, joined the Democratic faithful here
to-day. Other gentlemen of the same character
are expected to-morrow. H. C.
Total 2,450
The Democrats also claim a small majority
in Monroe County, in which vhe City of Key
West is situated, and Jackson Countv,
which has always been largely Repub-
lican, and in which, according to the
Republican claim, such frauds and intimida-
tion have been practiced as to invalidate the
vote, if not to secure a Republican maiority.
The Republicans also claim that tbey will get
a majoritv in the remote county of Dade,whioh
cannot possibly be heard from for a week.
to c«me. Disregarding these counties, and al-
lowing the Democrats all they claim in the
six counties above mentioned, and in the twen-
ty-one counties which they assupio to have of-
ficially heard from, their vote amounts to
7,188, against 7,438 Republican. It is
believed, however, toat the estimate of
2,450 in the six counties not heard
from is too great by at least three hundred,
and that the majority for Hayes and Wheeler,
who ran at least three hundred ahead of the
State ticket, cannot be less than from eight
hundred to a thousand .votes. This ma-
jority will appear as the returns come
from the County Boards of Canvassers, and
before the Stale Board has thrown out any dis-
tricts where frauds have been committed, if
the Democrats do not commit any frauds other
than those already perpetrated by them.
It must be understood that because of Gov.
Stearns' impartial policy in regard to the
appointment of county oflBcers, twenty-nine
counties in the State are either in part or
wholly under the control of the Democrats.
They exercised the most arbitrary power
at the polling places, and ail the re-
turns are still in their hands. What
the Republicans have to fear now ia
that they will fraudulently raise the vote in
some of their districts, and so make an appar-
ent majority before the State Board of Can-
vassers for their candidates. Should these
changes be made and a fraudulent aaajority
fer Tilden be manufactured by them,

To the Board of State Canvassers .-
We submit that compaiiog tbe statements of the

rerurns, be accomplished by the clerk and an -assis-

The Council also presented the following :
"We saDmit that all acis of tne General Assembly

and decide the oases under protest, or contest, that
may aiiae in regard to the election of Electors tor
President, Vice-President, members of Congress,
and all ofSoers elected at any general election held in
this State, are in violation of tbe twenty-sixth sec-
tion of article on e of the Constitntion, and therefore
uuconstilutional and void ; and we demand that the
Board of State Canvassers now assembled shall not
hear or decide any such cases of contest or protest,
but shall only act ministerially in ascertaining
from the returns and statements forwarded by the
Board of County CanvasHers ^e personi who have
received tbe greatest number of voles for tbeo£Qoes
for which they were reftoectirely candidates, and
declare the same and certify it to the Secretary tf
State."
The board adopted the following resolution :
Kesolved, That the board will not act upon any
proposition until the question ot its powers and du-
ties be decided by the Stprems Court.
The board adjourned unjil 10 o'clock to-mor-
row.
There nre four counties vet to hear from of-
ficially, three of thorn— Georgetown, liersbaw,
and Williamsburg — being Republican, and one
— Laiwens— being Democratic. All Democrats
concede an undisputed majority of over one
thousand to Hayes, and the probable election
of the entire Kepublican ticket except tbe Gov-
ernor.
A report is sent from Laurens County that
last night the oifioe of the Clerk of the Court,
in the Court-house, had been broken open, and
the poll-lists and ballots stolen or destroyed.
Laurens is one of the counties under the con-
trol of the rifle clubs. Its usual Repiiblican
majority has been 1,100 or 1,200. Last week it re-
turned a majority of 1,100 lor the Democrats. The
messenger with tbe ofScial returns had started
for Columbia, so that the only possible object
of destroying the ballots and poll-lists wou^
be to prevent any iiivestigation into the fraud-
ulent character.of the return. Ever since the
election the Court-house has been kept uudiT
guard night and day by the Democrats, and
was so when tue robbery took nlace. This act
can have no effect upeu Uayes' majority in the
State.
The city is lull of Northern politicians and
Hemocratic gamblers. ^ The air is full of at-
temncs to bribe the Board of Canvassers and
tbe Supreme Court in tbe interests of Tilden,
but of course it is impossibleto trace such ru-
mors to any responsible source.

HOW DEMOCRATIC MAJORITIES ARE ROLLED
UP IN A REPUBLICAN STATE — SOME
SIGNIFICANT FIGURES FROM THK
NORTHERN COUNTIES — A REPUBLICAN
MAJORITY OF 8,000 THAT OUGHT TO BE
. 20,000.
From an Oecasir.nal Corresvondent.
CoLUMBLi, S. C, Monday, Nov. 13, 1876.
The country is very much exercised over
tho election returns of this aud two other
Southern States— Louisiana and Florida. It ia
believed, and for good reasons, by the thinking
people of the North that all these States are
Republican, upon any /air count, even after an
unfair election. In th'fs State there is a Repub-
lican maiority of not less than 23,000, even al-
lowing tor all legitimate natural increases of
tho white vote and real defections from.> the
colored vote, but this last election apparently
shows that the majority is on the other side..
Now, any sane man, who is not a violent
Democratic partisan, will at once see that
something is wrong somewhere, when the gen-
eral press dispatches report Hampton and Til-
den as having minorities in a strong Republi-
can State. In the iirst place, it is quite well
known that the news agency in this section is
solely and exclusively m the hands of the Dem-
ocrats, and in South Carolina tbe chief agents
are men who have taken the most decided
ground against the Republicans. Two of the
most important telegraph st«tionsi Charleston
and Columbia, are controlled, one Dy the editor
of the Democratic News and Courier, the other
by a Lieutenant in one of the rifle clubs. Near-
ly every one of the telegrams sent through these
agents to the North nave been 'based solely and
exclusively upon reports made up at the Dem-
ocratic bead-quarters, without waiting for re-
tuwas from the election officials. When these
returns are canvassed it will be found that tho
Republicans have carried the State for both
Chamberlain and Hayes by. at least eight thou-
sand majority. It ought to be 20,000 instead of
8,000. The most glaring frauds were perpe-
trated in almost every one of the upper ooan-
ties, where Democratic majorities prevail. Let
me illustrate :
In Pickens County the majority tor the Dem-
ocrats in 1874 was less than 200, while now
It is claimed by them at 1,643. In Oconee
County they had 548 in 1874, while they
now claim 1,600. In Anderson County in 1874
they had less than 800, where they now claim
3,031. In Greenville County in 1874 they had
less than 500, and now thoy claim 2.443. In
Laurens County the Eepublioans in 1874 had
1,082 majority, while the Demoorats now claim
1,161 majority, and yet no person will for one
moment claim that the Demoorats have in-
creased since 1874, or that the Republioana
have fallen off. In Abbeville County the Re-
publicans in 1874 had 1,605 majority, and by
the census of 1875 are now entitled to over
2,000, yet in this eieotion the Democrats claim
200 majority. So the story could be continued.
The most barefaced frauds prevailed. Men
were driven away from the p jUs, while hiin-
dreds upon hundreds, witb_pistol3 or bludgeons
at their heads, were comselled to vote against
their wishes, ^nd to-day they stand ready
to testify to this fact. In the Third
Congressional District the Republican ma-
jority upon any fair, untrammeled vote, would
be not less than 3,000, while in this election
there is 'an apparent Democratic majority of
5.000. It is in this Vay that Demoorats hope to
get possession of the country, and it is in this
way that the people of the North^re being con-
stantly deceived. The frauds of Tweed and his
associates were never half as glaring as these.
In the former only property was at stake,
while here human life has been. And again, in
Edgefield Countv, the home of Butler, the
alleged author of the Hamburg massacre,
where the State census ot 1875, which the
Democrats have always assailed as a fraud,
showed only 7,122 votes, the Democrats claim a
majority of 3,225, while the Renublioans are
entitled to a majority of at least 1,200. lu this
county the total vote at this election exceeds
9,200, or more than 2,000 above the total vote
of the county, as shown by the census of 1875.
If there is any State in the South which the
trustworthy citizens of the North of both
parties ought to visit to seo that a fair count
is had, that State is South Carolina.
The face of the returns show Hayes to be
elected by at least 800 m^ority, while
the same returns may defeat Chamberlain,
When fraudulent votes are thrown out, both
State and national tickets will be elected by
not less than 10,000 ma.jority.
THE VOTE IN EDGEFIELD, BARNWELL, AND
AIKEN COUNTIES — ITS TRANSPAHEST
FRAUD,
From an Occasional Correspondent.
Charleston, S. C, Sunday, Nov. 12, 1876.
Tbe question of the election of Chamberlain
or HaiTiDton is not yet decided. The Election
Commissioners aru allowed three days to can-
vass the Managars' returns, and to report tho
result to the Board of State Canvassers. The
time expired on the 10th, and since then the
board baa been lu session at Columbia. Their
decision is awaited with tho utmost anxiety by
both sides. The Democrats claim the State by a
small majority, and their Executive Committee
and Gon. Hampton himself have spoken as if tho
mAtter were settled. But they are prone to act
prsmaturely, these people, and in this case
have behaved like simpletons. They expect to
bully the Boaid of Canvassers, and have their
ablest lawyers at Columbia to raise questions
and establish contests against the, decision
of tho board. • But they will fail.
The vote in Edgefield, Barnwell, and
Aiken is so transparently fraudulent that
the board will scarcely accept the returus,
made, as they have been, in " the line of fire"
of the threatening shot-gun. Think of Edge-
field giving £t Democratic majoritv of 3,250,
when it has always rolled up almost as large a
Republican majority! And Barnwell and Aiken
both scoring large maiorities for Hampton!
These are the counties iu waich the riots oc-
curred— where colored Republicans were
slaughtered by the score — a few weeks ago, aud
which have been the subject of so much news-
paper controver.sy and tho source of enough
Democratic lies to sink the whole State in over-
lusting perdition. Is more proof needed oi Gov.
Chamberlain's veracity in detailing the mur-
derous proceedings that took place in those
eounties than these heavy Democratic
majantiesl In every county where
the " Mississippi plan" was not practicable, the
Rbpublicans have increased their majorities.
Theiu^rence is plain to the simplest mmd.
Tho troops could not prevent wholesale " intim-
idation" in these counties. The colored people
were kept from the polls by threats of punish-
ment alter the departure of the soldiers. The fact
is that the eieotion is the counties referred to
was a burlesque where it was not worse. I have
been informed by persons in whose statements
I have the utmost confidence that in Edgefield
County the colored Republicans Were kept
away from many precincts by mounted men,
who picketed the rOads on election day, and
drove back the voters. The whole county was
alive with mounted men, who. after voting
themselves, collected at the cross-roads, and
remained there the entire day, sending videttes
to watch the cow-paths and every other avenue
by which the polls might be reached, in order
to intercept the colored voter, aud either force
him to consent to vote the Democratic ticket
or go back to his cabin.

Washington, Nov. 15. — There ia no news
to-night that does not sustain- the confidence
heretofore felt in the final result in the three
uncounted Stafes. It is a little less cer-
tain than last night that Louisiana will give a
Republican majority without rejeoting the votes
of the intimidated parishes. The Demoorats
here have clearly given up all hope of securing
a majority of the Electoral College from the
throe States, and are considering every con-
ceivable scheme outside. There is a good deal
of loud talk, and some blatant demagogues are
oft'eriug to bet there will be civil war in forty
days, which is another way of admitting a de-
feat. The scheme which is most discussed is
for the House to withdraw from the
joint conference to couut the votes,
and prevent an election. With some it
is a favorite imagination that the affair may
be so managed as to throw the election into
the House. Several ahle Demoferatio states-
men are devdting themselves assiduously to
the devising ot means to prevent the inaugu-
ration of Hayes. But they profess that every-
thing shall be done according to law, and they
inwardly think of economy and reform.

seem to be pretty well turned, and the Demo-
crats hereabouts are not talking much to-day
about Postmasters. The questions raised by the
fact that two Hoyes Electors were Federal offi-
cers, have been tborouchly considered here,
and the law of the States of Oregon and
Vermont carefully examined. In Oregon the
law provides explicitly that the Secretary of
State shall issue the certificate to the persons
having the highest number of votes. There is
no provision for any oensideration of other
facts. It is clearly the duty of the^ Secretary
of State, under the State law, to certify that
Watts is elected. The State law proyadeg^that
when the electors meet thoy may fill a vacaS^sy,
no matter what the cause of it. The law will
presumably be followed by the Secrptary of
State. It has been suggested that, being a
Democrat, he woul^^refuso to certify to Watts'
election, and pven go so far as to
give a certificate to a Democrat. It
is not believed that, even in the inter-
est of " economy and reform," such a bold
violation of law would be attempted. But if it
should bo, there is a sure legal method of main-
taining the rignt. It is said to have been de-
cided over and over again that a candidate for
an ofi&co who receives a minority ot the votes
oast cannot have' the eieotion by rea-son of the
ineligibility of the candidate receiving a ma-
jority. The election m such a case is null and
void for al1'--«andidate8. The case of Abbott
against Vance, alluded to the other night, was
one in which a strong Republican Senate re-
fused a seat to a Republican claimant, holding
that the ineligibility of his Democratic op-
ponent did not give Abbott, with ouly a mi-
noiity ot votes, any right to a seat in the Sen-
ate. And the Senate at that time was charged
with being terribly partisan.
In/reuard to the report that some of the
Southern electors have not had their political
disabilities removed, there is very little defi-
nite intoroiation, and the Democratic man-
agers naturally have a monopoly of it. It is
difficult at this distance to determine,
with full lists of electors, who are in that
list, because it require.^ a knowledge of each
person's history and an examination of the lists
ot those, who have been relieved by Congress.
The Electors themselves, having their atten-
tion called to the subject, of course communi-
cate confidentially wilh their own political
leaders. Ihe Demoorats are much annoyed by
tbe report, and are apparently active in ar-
ranging for some trouble which they appre-
hend. One account is that the Democratic
Committee have laformation of two of this
class of ineligibles ; another report says there
are six.
Dispatch to the Associated Press. .
The eligibility of the Vermont PoBimaoter who
has been elected one of tbts Uaitod States Electors
in that State, still continuss a, topic of discussion
here, and a variety ot opinions prevail in tiie differ-
ent qnarters where the subiect has received consid-
eration. From the highest jndicial and official po-
sitioDB attantiou is forced upon qnsittions which
surround the subject, as la evinced by the fact
that letters have been sent trom the Department
of Justice to proper jntiicial authorities in
Vermont, the pcincipal effect of which seems
to be that eyery legielatlvo or judicial act bearing
upon similar oases to that now tho occasion of
otiii-ial conwdeiation shall be presented for the ob-
taiumcnt of a clear insight and construction ot their
meanings. Jurtee Tato n.-xs been approached for
opinions upon the matter as it now stands, but not
by anyone whose otfioial position renders it proper
that an opinion should be delivered; and ihe
Attorney General has been careful to
make no expression of his views without
grave consideration, and is particular with
regard to being quoted on the matter.
A careful construction of the conversations which
hare been held with him raise the beliaf that the
Attorney General holds that where one Elector was
Inehgibly elected snch clrcnmstsnce does not eleot
an opposing Elector, and taat be considers it a rale
while aa ineligible party receives a ra^Jorltv he U
not elected, to be sure, but at tbe same
time it does not elect the other party.
The principal ia that the majority must rule, and,
althonch a majoritv of the votes cast cannst mak*
an ineligible man an Elector, tbey were never.
theless ca<t., and are not so void •• to
give bis opponent a majority. Similar mees
in the electiohs of difiTerent States • have been
decided, and reference has been made to a case
in Pennsylaania — the case of the Commonwealth
againsrCluley, In which Judge Strong, ef the Su-
preme iConrt, who was then of tho Pennsylvania
conrf, delivered the opinion that a new election for
Sheriff would be held. It is stated here that the
ereneral rnio id most States is. where there is a
vacancy in the Electoral ticket, tbe other Electors
shall, fill tlie vacancy bv ballot. It may be that
some' oivinion may be anked from the Attorney
General upon this qnestion, bat if has not yet been
presented, and the earnest attention tbat is jUven
the matter results from-an anxiety to obtain ef?ry
fact of law touchine it, ana to be prepared for any
emergency that nav come fivm the sltnatlon.
SCHEME OF IHE OREGOJf DEMOCRATS TO

San Fkancisco, Nov. 15. — A press dUpatcb
from Salem, Oregon, says it is announced by the
Democrats there to-day tbat the following nro-
gramme will be carried ent in reference to the oa^t
of J. W. "Watts, Presidential Elector on the Bepub-
iican ticket, who was Postmaster at Lafayette. Tbe
law of Oregon provides that the Secretary of State,
in presence of the Governor, shall nount ttie votes,
and give to the persons having the highest number
of votes oertiflontes of election. The Secretary has
no power, except to count the votes and issue cer-
tificates. It is asserted a writ will be served on
Ihe Secretary, issued by the Supreme Court, «Dloin-
ing the issaanee of a certificate to Watts, and giv-
ing to the highest Elector on the Democratic ticket
a certificate of election.

Svecial Dispatch to the New- Tori Times. j
Boston, Nov. 15,— The Ropnbiicans have er-
idently gained another Congressman in this State.
The Board of Aldermen, in session to.nigbt /as a
Board of Canvaasers, toolt action on th^ re-
count of votes ordered in the Third IDsi-
Triot. (Mr. Pierce's,) and decided in savor
of Hod. Walhridge A. Field aa against BenJ^in
Dean, Dem. The conteat at the election waalvery
close, and when the reault was first declared it was
announced that Dean bad forty-four majority. A
subsequent count reduced thia majority to seven,
and a farther examination revealed the fact
that twenty-five ballota were caat for
Walbridge A. Field for Congress in
the Fourth District. The committee, believing that
these voters meant to vote for Mr. Field as a can-
didate In the Third District, reiKiTted the facta,
and the Aldermen decided tonieht in favor of
his election, leaving tbe final decision, however,
to the Governor and Council. The sentiment of all
fair-minded men here is that Mr. Field is duly
elected, and he will undoubtedly be given the seat.
This will leave only one Democrat in the Massachu-
setts delegation Hoc. Leopold Moiiie. ot this city.
Mr. Field is a new niau in politics, bnt
he will make a good working member.
He is a law partner of Got. Gaston and Harvey
Jewell, now on the Alabama Claims Commiaaion.
He will have tbe confidence of the business men of
the city, and will make a worthy successor ot Mr.
Pierce. " A recount of the vote in tho Fourth
District, has been ashed in the interest ot Rnfoa S-
Frost, the KoDubli(!an candidate, on the gronnd of
fraudulent registration and repeating. Mr. Morse'a
maiority, however, about 900, Is regJirded aa too
liirge to be annihilated. A stroni; case has been
pioparcd, and tie examination is awaited with in-
terest.

ioBination prores JMrdri to he Hke Morris'
iiroik only in the most external qnabtKes. The
finoa are of the siune length and rhyme simply ,
iwithoat alternate rhymes, and the sabjeot is in
ia broad sense something like some of those
tRing by " the poet of an empty day." But b*-
^ond that.the similarity is at an end. The re-
jpen firom which J)eirdri eomes, the soil into
iwiiieh this 'poem strikes its reots, is an old, old
pftTuT which has famished inspiration to ontold
gpoeta., a land continoally neelacted by the people
•who Itare owed anost to it in a literary sense,
land one which has had a literature and an
hrmy ef poets before Saxons knew bow to read
knd write. It is Ireland whioh was the mother
bt Delrdri and the tragioal bistor j whioh an
knoaymooB poet has put into fine, strong, flow-
ing English verse. The American author
draws on the same fountain of legendary his-
IkoryTthe same springs of poetie inspiration
ithat made MaoPberson odebrated f^'em
|»Ba end of Europe to the other for his
itraaalations and adaptations under the name of
^snan. Indeed, the name of Deirdrfe has been
used by MaoPherson, bat in so confused and
iBUigmatioal » manner that one is tempted to
belieTe he only had a comparatirely late verr
•ion of it — a sort of magnificent poetical oom-
Bentary on it Beaders of Ossian will remem-
ber the chapter called Darthala. It has a
Strong flavor of the old Irish legend of Deirdrd.
Except that MacPherson has made her lover a
Scotch (or Albanian) Prince, who goes to Ire-
land, instead of an Irish Prince — Naisi, fee son
bf Usnach, who flies with her to Scotland, and
iretazDs only to be killed.
) Beirore, the reader already perceives, is a
iffomao, and it is hardly necessary to say, a
beautifal woman. She is a kind of Irish Helen
ibiTroT, who sots by the ears all the princes
y\o look on her face. Her birth is aeeom-
paniad. by omens, and when she is brought be-
fore Peilimid, tfie King's minstrel, her father, a
Druid, raises his prephetie voice, and foretells
'fih^ destraotion she will brine on heroes. The
jMena is at a feaat in the bouse of Feiliinid, to
Whidi King Connor of Ulster and all bis
Kiuida'and vassals have eome. The splendor
In which a Bling's minstrel lives is quite in
keeping with the old traditions oi Ireland, and,
indeed, not impossible elsewhere in' Europe
Iwforethe eleventh sentory. Tbe incident of
the child's birth, which has been rendered
Irery beautifally and powerfully by the
IMxthor, has, however, been softened down
<rery noticeably from the primitive legend
M it is to be found tin the oldest version of
I3ie story in Old Irish. The American author
hAs act availed himself of tbe startling opening
of the original rtory, where Deirdr6 makes
known her sovereign will before ordinary chil-
Veh are heard iir om at all. This he has probably
Avoided trom fear of indecorum and grotesque-
neas, and perhaps considering the general
Sast, of the poem, he is right. The life into
Wliich he uahera us is a luxurious one, altemat-
)sg with fierce combats and long marches
throagh Ireland and Scotland. Tbe feast of
pailimid is full of gold and purple and good
Sheer, as if the actors were leaders of a wealthy
and powerful people. Deirdrd, who has such
terrible things toid about her fntnre, and whose
immediate death is counseled by some of the
ignests, is saved by the intercession of King
^onnor, who promises to educate hen-' in a
Secluded castle and make her his queen./ This
ts agreed to, and the rosy babe lives to com-
pete her fate.
Aad weepest still. Bat see these colors bright-* -t.

Deirdrb has already seen Naisi from a tall
' tree in her garden, and now she meets him
secretlv. The next is flight and pursuit by
Connor's vassals.
The fourth chapter relates the adventures of
thesohs of Usuaeh— Naisi, AinU, and Ardan— as
they roam about Ireland, pursued by King Con-
nor. They have no ships to cross over to Soot-
land. The fifth chapter relates the hospitality
of Koth, who harbors them over Winter. But
when their enemies declare war against their
host, Naisi refuses to remain, ind ^ets out fbr
tbe east coast In the direction of Scotland.
There they come agola in contact with certain
" Pormoalan pirates," whom they had before
unsuccessfully engaged, and who are led by
iTalo, a monstrous champion, concerning whom
other ancient Irish lays advise. One calls him
Talc, son of Trone, or, as an Irish authority
tomslates the nunes, Firm, son ot Mighty. The
battle between the Clan of Usuash
and the Formosians is worthy of
Homer, if anything can be called
worthy of Homer. It is all the author's
own. Tbe seene where it takes place is most
vividly and beautifully described ; the battle
itself is picturesque at first, and rapidly ad-
vances to the highest dramatic grandeur. The
incoming tide, the darkness, the moonlight
which suddenly reveals Deirdr6 holding up her
little boy to see the battle, and the spirit
which that short view infuses m Naisi— all— all
things which no one but an exceedingly fine
artist could attempt successfully. This author
has done it, and from beginning to end avoids
the least suspicion of melodrama. If there is a
fault to find, it is in repetition of the same
similes, a trait common to all epic poetry. The
boar rushing on hounds, whales at play, cattle
stampeding — these are similes frequently m
upe, but not so frequently as to be very po-
tieeable. The single combats, ot whioh the
book is full, are thoroughly well done. They
breathe the spint of the North ; their author
has read the Norse Sagas to good profit, and
his strong descriptions, quite the opposite of
wordy, delight one like the tales of the Vikings.
fAfter a tremendous battle, the clan of Usuaoh
carries the intrenchments of the pirates. Naisi
slays T{Jo with the mystenoua sword of Man-
anan, found at his tamt door, and the weary
tribe embarks on tl»e pirate galleys for Alba.
There they build their dun or tun, a word
which remains in -the name of a thousand
places in Great Britain under various shapes,
and is . found here in every tovmship and
town. It' was a walled and entrenched
hill, such as one finds everywhere in
the Hebrides and the north of Ire-
land. - When famine comes upon them they
sally out and drive off the flocks of the High-
landers, whereupon the Lord of the district
pursues the robbers, and is beaten and cap-
tured by them. Through him Kai si forms a
fast alliance with the King of Alba, or Soot-
land, and makes war at his side against all
enemies. But this favor is not to last. Mind-
ful of the fate resting on DeirdrS, she is kept
concealed, but at last the King's steward sees
herandteila the King of her beauty. The
latter insists upon seeing her himself, where-
upon the spell is upon him ; he first trieis to
win over Deirdr6 by a messenger, and then re-
solves to destroy her husband. But Naisi and
his brothers retreat duriag the nieht to their
fortified dun on the west coast and eiftbark next
morning just as an army reaches the shore. A
naval combat ensues, for the ELing has blocked
the mouth of the loch with a fleet of galleys,
This is less happily described than the combats
on land; but it is brief and fieroe. and has so
much of the author's fine quality that objection
would be bjrpercritical. The Usnanians win, as
msual, and at length find refuge in a beautiful
island of the sea where n<5 one can harm them.
There they live happy and contented, while
Gaeir grows up into a warlike boy, taught by
his uncles and hia sweet, wise mother. Their
lite on the island and in Scotland is conceived
in a diffierent vein by this author. The. old
I'; i^fe-
Tbe next canto discovers the young Deirdrd
jp^wiug apace in a wonderful palace built for
her by King Connor. The walls, ai*e thick and
^igh, and only one small door with three brass
|ates allows an entrance into the palace gar-
den, where Deidrd, tlie beautiful, runs wild,
this eanto may perhaps be called tbe most
beautiful of any in the book, it ia the author's
kwn conceotion, for there appears to be no tra-
JBition in Irish of Deirdrd's early days. Her
character is lovely without being mawkish;
fjtertalk and manners sprightly and delightful.
{This IS tbe more noticeable because tbe Insh
traditions take a much coarser view of Dier-
ibi, and are not particular to assure us
Whether she was King Connor's wife or not.
Our author has, however, made her the per-
Ceotion of womanhood, and brought out all her
Ipveiiness as a soltening contrast to the wars
luid hatreds she atterward inspires. Morris
kas never given us as charming a character.
Like most of the poets whom he ^as drawn
Bpon, the most attractive women are the bad
Boes. But here we have modern morality at
Irork, influencing our author to put in place of
l^ie forward ward or young wife of King Con-
*or an innocent but determined girl, who flees
Srith her lover when she finds the King deter-
iBsined to" marry her. Canto third describes her
Ifiight from Eman with Naisi and bis two broth-
Wr4, tbe sons of Usnach. This is the kind of
Wlaoe from which sbe fled:

V. ' Tbis is fairy land, or at any rate the furthest
limit of the golden days ot chivalry, In this
respect the poet takes Spenser's and Tenny-
|K>a's position to the old legends ; but. in others
^e remains much closer to actual poems ex-
Itant which claim to be written at periods co-
'eval witb, or, at most, not much later than, tbe
events described. The occasional homeliness
4>f the original has been turned to poetic ao-
eount by substituting one animal for another,
or one act for another, while the motive and
the result obtained remain tbe same. Thus
Deirdrfe's first thought of Nais i cornea from see-
ing blood spilled on the snow in a very natural
and^erhaps commonplEtce manner. The Ameri-
can poet gives first a beautiful description of
Autumn and of a snow-storm — not too long —
and then shows Doirdri sitting at her window
and seeing an eagle fall from the sky upon a
bare. A raven comes to the spot where the
victim's blood has stained the snow, and La-
TttTcam, DeiBdrfe's attendant, who has evidently
been approached by young Naisi, uses the
chance to urge bis dangerous suit :
»• O, »»1d I why weepest thou I Tbo oijrle's stroke

poems renresent the life of the exiles as hard,
and Deirdr^ expressly claims to prefer Najsi
and a Summer booth to Connor and his palaces.
Closer to the original is the fiae scene in the
chapter next to last called " The Eeturn to
Eman." There Connor, whose hate is undying,
pretends that he has forgiven the sons of
Uanaoh, and wants them to help defend his
Kingdom as .before. The guests at his table
hail the words with delight. But he takes one
chief after another aside to find out what
would be his action in case tteaohery were
used against the, Usnanians, and only sends the
one who promises that in no case should he,
King Connor, sufier for any wrongdoing. Fer-
gus goes to the island, where Naisi and Deirdrd
are found deeply absorbed in a game of chess,
an amusement so common among the chiefs of
ancient Ireland that chessboards formed a part
of the tribute certain clans paid to the Kmg.
The Norsemem were also great chessplayers.
Deirdr^ foresees the coming destruction and
warns Naisi, who will not listen. Fergus
promises his personal safeguard, and the sens
of Usnach return to Eman.
Now, Fergus, as King Connor knows, ia un-
der a vow to accept hospitality wherever it ia
formally off'ered him, accordihg to a real or
imaginary rule of one of those chivalrio institu-
tions which undoubtedly existed at one time,
among the knights of Wales and Irelaud. The
King commands Barach to prepare a feast and
intercept Fergus on his return. This Barach
does, and detains Fergus in spite of hia pro-
tests. But the two sons ot Fergus lemain as
pledges of the safety of the eons ot Usnach.
When they reach Eman, the King orders them
to occupy the Red Branch, a palace, castle, or
barracks, which is said to have been used as a
training school for knights and soldiers. Deir-
dre toretells that if he places them there, rum is
at hand. The sons of Fergus loudly protest
their abilitv to defend their charges. Naisi
and Deirdrd again ^sit at chess when one
of 'the finest actions of the old legend takes
place. The King, namely, sends old Lavarcam,
tbe nurse, to discover whether Deirdrfe has lost
her beauty. If she has/^he destructive battle
would be worse than useless. Lavaroam comes
to the exiles lamentine their fate, and returns
to tell Connor that Deirdr6 has lost her beauty.
The King is content for a time, but presently,
becoming suspicious, sends Maiai Roughhand,
the son of a Norse King whom Naisi killed, to
act the soy on his hereditary foe. This man is
elsewhere called Trendorn, a more Scandina-
vian sounding name than Maini. He finds the
pair still at chess, but Delrdr6 sees him looking
through a window at them, and tells Naisi. The
latter has a largo and heavy chess-man in his
hand, and hurling it straight at Maini, puts out
an eye. The latter flies, but tells Connor the
truth about Deirdr^, that she is aa beautiful as
ever, the loveliest woman in the world.
At this Connor leaps up and besets the
Usnanians in lied Braiuch with hia army. One
son of Fergus goes out and destroya many of
his men, bat is bribed off. The other son, II-
lan,*iB faithful, and defends his.chdrgos valiant- "
ly imtU slain. During the night one of the
brothers after another sallies out and destroys
men in the Homeric and Norse manner. At
last the flames that Connor puts to the build-
,tnir«-^Myq,-th«m.nnt^> Tho-g form awall with
their shields, put *Deirdrb in the midst, ..and
break through : their foes. Then Connor sends
the magician, Cafl'a, after \them, and he pur<
saades themto a peace. | Whan: they rel,T on
' Connor's word he disarms* them, and has them
led out to execution.
Some of the sirigle combats during this final
battle are wonderfully Homeric. The King
sends his son into battle with these words :
''O Fladeni, on tlie self-same hour and mom
Slan and you in this ifiy hoBse.wera bom. ""^"
See how his father's panoply doth shine'
Upon bis stalwart frame 1 Go, take thou mine.
My two great spears, the Victor and the Cast,
Lightning my sword, my shield the ocean vast;
That on its dazxling orb all work displays
Of the Gods' hands upon tbe watery ways.
And roars when danger's nigh, till from beyond
High Banba's cliffs ber three great seas respond
With tnrmoil larious. Take tbon them and go,
And meet fair Illan with good blow for blow 1"
Till neath tbo rain of blowa npon bts knee
Tonng Fiaderafell, and oer his created head
And brass-olftd shonlder raised the ocean dread
, Crouching boaeath it. With a mighty sonnd
That seemed at onoe from air, from underground.
From ruin, from orb, from oentreapike, began
The great shield roaring, till the wrinkled span
Of stormy CUona answered, and the Sea
Of Sony raised it's voice responalvely
Far mnrmnring, and the fartoaa wave of Thoth
Ban round the Giant's Pillars, white with froth,
And shook its mane, loud bellowing 1 ^
The three brothers are led out to execution
in sight of the mourning army that is compelled
to obey King Connor's behests. No ono will be
executioner except Maini, (who, by the way is,
according to one version, a son of King Connor
himself, and therefore no Norseman.) Each
brother begs to be killed first in order not to
see the other slain, but Naisi decides the ques-
tion by handing Maini the magic sword given
him by Mananan, son of the Sea, just before
hia battle with the Pomorian pirates :
" And Uaiol took the Brand, and silent there
In his strong grasp a moment held it bare.
Then spoke to it : ' O glitteiiag gift of prieo!
0 sunbright boon 1 O swora of saeriflcel
The Block for my blood-offering, and these
At onoe the Tictims and mine enemies ;
How have I pleased the Gods that in this hand
1 grasp thee for my vengeance, O bright Brand f
Press close your neoks, 0, heroes ! '
Like a flame '
Up flashed the sword on high, then down It came.
And cleft the princely white necks at a blow,
Besounding on the block 1
Ah deed of woe !
Deirdrd and the other women raise the wail
for the dead. The forn^er runs distracted from
one chief to the other, and then fliugs herself
on the ground beside the corpses. A super-
natural shanef, who is Mananan in the form, of a
spearman, leads away young Gaeir from out
the reach of his enemies, and Deirdrd, gives up
her ghost just as King Connor hopes to find
the reward for his long trouble in her pur-
suit.
The closing scene of Deirdrd has had a more
conventional tone given it, just as was the case
with the beginning. Like the heroines oi Os-
sian, sbe dies of a broken heart to cap- the cli-
max and baffle the treaoheroos scheme of per.
jured King Connor. One of the old stories
makes her first recite a beautiful song, and
afterward— when, according to the old cus-
tom used by the heathen, the princes
were buried under a eaim — she throws
herself on the cairn and dies. Another
and much older account maintains that she
did not die for a year, during which time King
Connor held her^ as his wife, but she never
would hold up her head. The lament she
makes for Naisi is wonderfully fine and touch-
ing, composed in the regular old quatfains of
Irish poetry, each two verses rhyming together.
At the end of the year, Connor asks her what she
hates most to see. " Tkou thyaelt and Eogan"
— another slayer of her friends — she answers.
"Well, then," Connor says, "you shall be
Eogan's wife for a year too.*' But on the way,
the heartleas jesta of the two chiefa so incense
her that abe throws herself out of the chariot
against a large rock and kills herself.
Deirdr^ is a prominent figure in ancient Irish
poetry, and the songs put in her mouth are, be-
yond anything, lovely. The finest of all, perhaps,
ia her farewell to Alba, where she spent ao many
happy years in exile with f^aiai. The Ameri-
can author has not attempted the lyrical in hia
poem. The lament is here, and that dream of
Deirdrb's where ahe eees three birds oringing
honey In their beaks which turns into dropa
of blood. Dreams and songa are given in the
saQie ten-foot heroic line as the rest, instead of
the shorter metre of the original. This ia what
Deirdri says, aa they leave their quiet island
for the fated houae in Ulater :
'- O land of gladness in the orient bright.
No more our feet by dell (tc daisied height
Shall stray 'neath thy warm sans 1 No more — no
more.
We'll sit by Drayno's music-nmrmuring shore.
Watching the sea-birds and the glancing ships ;
Or where in Maaan's vale the wild bee sips
The nectar oi innamerable flowers,
With ioyous hearts, beneath the fragrant bowers
Of sylvan woodbine and delightfal May,
Fall oft we laughed and sang the livelong day,
No more in Daro's wildwooa shall we hear
The onckoo's welcome noto resounding clear
From far-off lapses of blue Uammer air — "
This is aufificiently fine of itself, -grithout ren-
dering it necessary to make comparisons with
the " Irish Lanieat" itself. That could hardly
be surpassed ; we ought to thank this author
for giving ua anything so good. The similes he
uses are especially fine, even though the bear
and boar . are brought in ottener than a fastid-
ious critie might wish. But in all there is a
tine, laige movement, a broad feeling for the
heroic, and an internal fire of genius that re-
lieves the even measure of the verse from
monotony, j Here ia a sea-image :
" As from the north, when Winter 'gins his reiga, §
The gianT whales ploagh south tbe yielding main
In a great shoal, to reach the warmer seas
That wash wild Orkney's isles and Hebrides —
With heads nnemng pointed toward their goal,
O'er the wide waste careers the mighty shoal
Behind their King, the huge bull-whale, whose
track
Gleams- with whl.i <pray far-furrowing Ocean's
back —
So the fleet clove the billows, following
The great war-ealley of the conquered King."
The quotationa given arc enough te show the
tone of the poem ; but, of course, as is the case
with all long poems, it hardly does the author
justice. A long poem must bo read as the
author wishes it, from the beginning, or else
hia art of preparing the mind for the more
startling portions of his work is entirely wasted.
Thora are evident sisrns of a faithful reading of
Homer and an acquaintanceship with Northern
Sagas to be found in Deirdri. It is a long, fresh
draught of tho old wine — the heroic wine that
seems never to lose its virtue. Since tho reappear-
ance of Charles Wells' Joseph and Mia Brethren,
nothing has appeared so pleasing and so sus-
tained. It is rumored that the writer is a Dr.
Joyce, oi Boston.

ONE OF TEE A/S^iliiTANT COUNTERS.
c
The Milwaukee (Wis.) Sentinel of Monday
says: " The selection ot Hon. George B. Smith, of
-this State, hy tho Democrats, to assist in counting
the vote o^Lon^8iana, ia wholly admirable, and ex-
hibits the organizing abilities of Gov. Tilden in a
brilliant light. As a counting psrsoa Mr. Smith
has few equals in the country. In 1855 it was ne-
cessary to elect Barslow as Governor ot Wisconsin.
When the returns came In it was found that Bur-
stow didn't have votes enuugh. Mr. Smith at onco
instituted proceedings to find enough. Tho wonder
of Mr. Smith's achievfiment consists in tho discovery
of thousands Of qualified voters at Bridge Creek.
This place. Bridge Creek, was supposed to
bo a small village in Eau Claire County,
containiug porhaiia a hundred porsoos.
It ^was regarded with such indifference
that map-makers ignored it; the oitisen of Ean
Claire sneoreil at it. The election returns, how-
ever, showed that Milwankee was entitled to be
called only the seeond city of Wisconsin. Tne
maiority given to Barstow by Bridge Craek
amazed everybody, and indicated nothing less than
a mammoth city having a powerful propeasity to
voce. The merchants of i^ew-York looked at the
Bridge Creek returns, and immediately ordered all
their druraniers to that populous city to work up
trade. Of the history of Bridge Creek since the
Supreme Court took hold of those retnras we know
nothing. It is possible that tbere are cities in the
far-off parishes of Louisiaua ue-rer dreamed of at
New-Orleans. Bridge Creeks enongh may exist to
overcome ihe estimates of Bepnblioaa majorities.
We know of no ome more enable of discorsrlsg
such oltles than Mr. Smith. In going to Louisiana
the Democrats expect mach of him, and ho has a
reputation as a disooverer of un known voters to

full brown beard and clothed in a dark snit and
white shirt, the cuffs of whioh were omamehted
with ivory buttons, was recovered trom the North

ing from the fact that the water had not soaked

presumed that the man had been drowned only a
brief period before the body was taken from tbo

is not in use at the present time, for the pnrpose of
holding a ladies' fair for the benefit of St Bridget's
Charoh. Tbe Aldermen passed a resolution grant-
ing the request, but Mayor Siedler has vetoed it,
on the ground that it w^ould, in a certain sense, be
appropriating publlo property to sectarian uses,
which would be a violation of the recent amend-
ments to the Constitution of the State. He says
that although the building is not in use, tne ocon-
pation of it for the pnrnose named would entail
certain incidental expenses not necessary to men-
tion, and these expenses would have to be paid by
the city, consequently the city would be appropri-
ating money for sectarian purposes.

it. He afterward represented to her that he had
taken a mortgage on eome valnable property on
Ferry street. The first payment ol Interest was
made promptly, but tbe second was not forthcom-
ing, and Mrs Fallon commenced a foreclosure suit.
, She then discovered that tho property was worth-
less, and, besides, that the mortgageor had not re-
ceiyed the money. She at once discontinued the
foreolosure suit and made complaint against Con-
dit. Justice f aulin admitted the accused to bail.
THE METEODIST EPISCOPAL CEUSCH
annual MRBTING of the AH8SI01TARY
COMMITTEE — DISCUSSION ON TBE
AMOUiTT TO BE APPROPRIATED FOB DO-
MESTIC AND FOKEIGN MISSIONS.
The annual meeting of the Missionary Com-
mittee of the Methodist Episcopal Church
occurred at 10:30 o'clock yesterday morn-
ing In the rooms of the Methodist Book
Concern, corner of Broadway and Eleventh street,
for the purpose of fixing upon the amount of money
to be appropriated for the support of domestic and
foreign missions for tbe year beginning Ifov. 1,
1876, and onding Nov. 1, 1877. Bishop Scott, of
Delaware, presided. All the Bishops of the Metbo-
dist Chnrch were present with the exception of
Bishops-Peck and Haven. Bishop Scott, In calling
the session to order, made a few remarks in refer-
ence to the death of Bishop Janes, and Dr. Durbin,
of this City, the founder of Methodist missions in
America, and recommended the adoption of an ap-
propriate minute in reference thereto, which
recommendation was agreed to. The Treasu-
rer's report was read, showing that the
total receipts of the society, from Nov. 1,
1875, to Oct. 31, «1876, were ♦594,188 38. being
a decrease of 168,397 51 trom tbe amount received
the year previous. The total liabilities Nov. 1,
1876. were 1262,355 56, against ?185,355 56 on Nov. 1,
1675, an inoroase ot <76,792 73 during the past year.
Bishov Foster, in a tew remarks In reference to
the report, called the attention of the committee to
the present debt, and its increase during the past
twelve months, and sugtested that the appropri-
ations for the ensuing year be limited to (470,000,
and that the apportionments be the same as last
year.
Tho recommendation of the Board of Managers
was called for, and read by Dr. Beid, the Seurc-
tary. Tho amouat recommended to be appropri-
ated by the committee was $500,000, ^50,000 of
which should be applied to tho reduction of tho
debt. It was moved and seconded that tbe recom-
mendation of tbe committee be adopted, and tbe
discuksion of the question oceupied the remainder
of the morning session. Several amendments were
offered, one of which was that the amount of ap-
propriations be limited to f€00.000, of which J150.000
sbould go TO tbe reduction of the debt, andanotber
that the appropriation should be 8500.000, and $100,-
000 appropriated to the licxuidation of the debt.
Amoug those who took part m the discussion were
Bishop Foster, Dr. JIfeUon. Dr. Hitchcock, Mr. E.
V. Stout, and Mr. G. J. Terry. Dr. Hitchcock
stated, among other things, that these were ninety
conferences represented in tlie society, ot which
number thirty-nine of them pay more money into
the missionary fund than they receive from it.
liast year these thirty-n.ne conferences raised, ('or
missionary purposes, $471,001;, whioh was $79,000
less than was raised by them for the year 1874-5.
Tbe remaining conferences, he said, raised $1,000
more last year than they did the year previous.
The average of tlie thirty-niue conlerences spoken
Of was forty-seven ana a half cents per capita.
Bishop Foster, he said, had proposed to cut off the
appropriations to all the old conferences north of
Mason and Dixon's line and east of the Mississippi
lilyor. The total amount anpropriated to those
OLnferenoes last year was $55,941, while the amoant
contributed by tnem to the missionary tund, dar-
ing the same period, was $79,000.
Dr. Cattell said that a great deal of money was
wasted in foreign missionary work, parciouiarly in
Germany. He spoke ot one circuit in that
country, to which $8,000 was appropriated.
The circuit contained twenty stations, with
lass than twenty-live members m .all. He
also made referee ce to one poor man
in ttie New- York East Conference, who was allowed
$100 from the missionary fund on account of the
small salary he received from the people among
whom belabored, who were mostly well-to-do larm-
ers. As soon as thsse people learned that he hart
reoeiyed the $100 from the funds of tbe society, they
cut down his salary to a corresponding degree, so
that the amount appropriated to the oeoetit of the
brother went into the pockets of those well-to-rto
farmers Instead of into tbe pocket of him for whom
It was intended,
A resolution was adopted fixing the hour of meet-
ins ia the moiniua at 9:30 o'clock, and tho hour of
recess from 12:30 to 2 o'clock P. M. A recess was
tben ordered.
Binhop Simpson presided at the afternoon session.
Alter tbo usual toligious exercises. Dr. Hitchcock,
of Cincinnati, moved to amend the motion under
di8cu8»i»n »i tne close of the morning session,
which was that tbe amount to be appropriated this
year should be limited to $450,000. Dr. Hitchcock
moved that the amount be made $500,000.
Dr. Fowler, editor of the Ohrittian Advocate, was
in favor of appropriating all the money necessHrv
to carry on the foreign missionary work— say 8300,-
000— with $90,000 for the benefit of the colored peo-
ple in tbe South, and, $262,000 to pay olF the accu-
mulated debt. He was in tavor of going to the
Church this year and asking them for $800,000, and
he bad no doubt bnt the money could be raised. |He
believed the 1,600,000 members in the Sunday-
schools wonld contribute tSOO.OOO for thejsisaion-
ary cause. H« wenld like to havu tbM matter pot
in the hands of a proper committee to see bow
alone without, and tben organise some plan te
raise the money.* "What afaall we leave out
this veart Shall we leave out the foreign work or',
.Ihe work In the South J The Congregational Churoh .
irsises $2 50 per member for missionary work, and
the Protestant Episcopal raises $1 22 per member, •
while one poor M. E. Chnrfeb, In Canada, raised
fl 90 per, member. The per capita average
of the r- Methodist Chnrch was sniy .47ia'
cents. Dr., Fowler was , cwlain that^ it
would not be necessary ' to decrease ■" the
appropriation this year, but tkat sufficient money
could be raised to carry on the work, and psy the
debt, too, if tbey cnly went to work with a
will, determined to.ralse it.' ^
The recommendation of tbe Ssoretarlei and ihs"
several subcommittees having in charge tbe ap-
propriations for foreign missionary work was called
for, and Dr. Beid stated that the amount recom-
mended by them for foreign work was $5155.903 60,
which Is $41,845 60 lesirthan was appropriated to
that pnrpose last year. After further discussion
Bishop Ames moved as a. -substitute for the whole
quMtlon under discncslon that tbe board appro-
priate the same amount this year for foreign mis-
sions, and to pay office expenses as was appropriat-
ed last year, less $62,000. >
Gen. Clinton B. Fisk argued strongly against aay
retreating In the face of the enemy. He thought it
preposterous that the great Methedist Chnrch
could not raise more thao $500,000 for missionary
purposes. Ic coufd lalse $800,000 if it wonld set to
work determined to do it. He was is favor of ap-
propriating all the money neeessary, and then gon^
to work and raising it. He wonld give four months
of the coming year to going about the country and
urging the people to make up the sam. He was in
favor of not only holding the fort, but of going out
over parapet, and bastion, and moat, and asking tor
more.
Mr. Oliver Hmt was tAaSta favor of standing up
to the work, and appropriating at leaat $600,000 the
ensuing year. It was a matter of great hnmiliation
to him that the contributions of the members of
the Methodist Church of tbe oonntry had dwindled
down, and dowui to such a low figure as they had.
He thought more money ought to be raised, and
could be; and he believed that even in the Sun-
day Schools, with a membership of 1,600.000,
could double that amount Tbe Sabbatb-school with
which he was connected had contributed |2 50 per
member to the missionary work, while the amoant
contributed by the Chnrch was $5 per member.
After further discussion, Bishop Ames withdrew
his snbstitate, andths vote was called for upon the
amendment making the appropriation $500,000,
whioh was carried. Dr. Powler moved to
amend by • fixing the amoant at $600,000.
This motion was, on motion of Bishop Poster, laid
on the table. Dr. Fowler, after urging strongly
upon tbe committee not. to take any step backward,
moved tbat the amount to be appropriated be fixed
at $550,000.
Dr. Cattell was ia favor of retrenchment, and
thought that by so doing the eommittee would
honor the Church and do justiee to themselves.
Dr. Clark thought that the committee was tak-
ing a wrong view of their duty in the fixing of the
appropriations, and pbeir ability to meet them.
All tbe business men pf the country had assured the
members that tbe baginess prospects oi the coun-
try were improving, fend tbat tne business skies
Just ahead of ua were breaking away bright and
clear. He thought tbe money conld be raised, and
that it was the duty of the committee to provide
for all the work necessary to be done, and not try
to pay tbe debt now resting on the society this
year, but let it rest until the cemiDg Improvement
in busmess was realized.
Bisbop SimpsSn was in favor of $550,000, and
thought that $600,000 could be raised easily for the
benefit of the missionary work, which would leave
$50,000 to be applied to the liquidation of the debt.
Mr. A. v. Stout, President of tne Shoe an^
Jieat ber Bank, said tbat he had lived in this Citv
nearly stxty-tiye years, and he had loookcd abont
him often with astonishment at the want of success
which naa attended so many business men in this
City. What was the reason of it! it was debt,
debt, debt, whioQ was ruining so many meichants
and business men. He could not go any further
than to vote $500,000 tor tbe missionary work, and
$100,000 to oiminiah the debt, which would make
an aggregat« of $600,000. It was his firm conviction
that it WHS the duty of the committee to pay at
least $100,000 on the debt
Dr. i'owler moved that a committee of five be
appointed to take the whole subject Into eona\der-
ation. and report to the board this morning. The
motion finally, prevailed, and the chair appointed
tbe following gentlemen as such committee: Drs.
Fowler, Claris, Stont, Hoyt. aad Terry. The board
then adjoarned imtll 9:30 o'clock this morning.

SPECIMEN EXFBACTS VROHfA
TTLDKN PAPER.
The following paragraphs are taken from the
Meridian (Mi»8.) Mercury of the 11th mst:
"It is Ju«t x»osBlble tbat the Northern Bepub-
lloans who. in their rage, threaten tbat Tilden, if
elected, will not be permitted to 'be inangurated,
count largely, in case of a rescrt to arms to prevent
it, on the negro element being in the way of throw-
ing the weight of the South's strength in favor of
thu right. If tbeir folly should' provoke an appeal
to arms, it will be attended with at least -one resnlt..
They will learn that a "solid South" in peace is
far more sd in war. Tnera will be no masters then
to be interfering with the more perfect use of the
thews and sinews of the negroes, whish ths govem-
iDg race will then command iaoat absolutely. The
turbulent manifestations observed now, m war
would oease altogeiher, because ia war laws are
silent, and the most silent ot all the ridiculous atat-
ates of reconstruction would be those laws which
now tempt foolish negroes to tnrbulence, and such
foolish ventures as at Artesla on Wodrfesday."
"The Kadioal ticket distributed among the ne-
groes yesterday was headed 'Hold the Fort 1' It
had a picture with 'Father Abraham' as tbe princi-
pal figure. The darkeys stuck them deep down in
their pockets and held them with a grip. It is aot
certainly known what white man distributed the
tickets among them, bnt it was done clandestinely.
They didn't hold the fort."
" The negroes didn't 'hold the fort' much in this
county. Now that it is all over, we wonld give a
pretty good sum to know who printed those tickets
beaded ' Hold the Fort,' and who distributed them.
We soggest to them that the better policy, lofnture,
-is to print their tickets openly and distribute them
openly, like white men. In other words, we recom-
mend to our Badleal friends to be as bold ai a sheep
in all of their election tricks. That is the way to
pot up tne value of wool as a factor in a popular
election."
"There got out an impression yssterdav tbat
there was.a Government United States Marshal and
spy abouC A drummer cane into the crowd and
was a looker-on in Vienna, aad soon fell under sas-
picion. He was very soon interviewed, bat with
all due politeness. His references were satisfac-
tory. We do net suppose he takes our inquistlive-
ness ankindly at all, as most gentlemanly upolopes
were tendered for interrnpting his quiet observa-
tions. " .
YJBGIS^IA. THREATS TO NEOBOBB.
From the P»tergburg Index-Apptai, Nov. 14.
Black f«lks are said to be " powerful un-
certain."'' We had some instances of colored incon-
stancy in this district. The North Carolina paper*
are publishiDg tbe names of negroes in tbat State
who promised their white friends solemnly to vote
lor Tilden, and then went treacherously to the
polls, and deposited their tikllots for Hayes and
Wheeler. Among these scoundrels was a colored
barber of Halifax, by the name of John Dabney.
The hope is expressed in our North Carolina ex-
changes thai iheae . knaves will be spotted and
treated as their perfidy deserves. The
men who vote deliberately against the rights,
the peace, the interests, and the liberties of the
Southern people have no claim to be snpported by
the patronage of the citizens of this section. They
will never be brought to reason except by short,
sharp, and decisive measures. ' Let them be left
without patrons and without triends. and they will
soon enough find oat where their interests lie, and
will vote accordingly. It may seem beneath the '
dignity of gentlemen to oonoem themselves about ^
the politics of those who serve them ; bnt this is no"
ordinary political issue, and those who oppose ns
are warring on the verv liberties of our children,;
and on the bread which goes into their moutns.-
We-cannot ssake it too warm for these miscrwants,'
and the sooner the policy of making thorn lespousi-'
ble fer tbeir iniquitous course is inaugurated, tbe -
better it will bo lor all parties interested.

AJT OBMCVBE WILL.
By the will of Daniel Low, of KeW'^Ughtmv
Staten Islan4 who died on , April 8, laavlac aa
estate estimated at $2,000,000 or iaoOD.Ma fate Jfc.
ecutors were directed to invest $19,000, the iatecan
to be applied to the snpportaf his graBddragktar,
Alice Harmony. By the fourth clanae he devlaad
all his lands, contracts for sale of laada, aodnalaa
or stock of companies in Mississippi and ft rksnsas.
to be pnt at Interest, from wbieh il,0S0 is t» be oei^
lected and used in " picking no poor and vaczaat
children in the streets of New-Ycvk and BtooUra
and placing them in respectable famiUes, whsaa
they may become good citizens." The fifth nlsasn
devises all his perseoal and real estate.after the abov*
legacies and others named afterward, to his wifS^
Eveline £. B. Low, his children to share alike. Tka
sixth clause provides that the portion of bis lalalii
coming to hu dangbters, Evelyn T. and Adels X,
shall be loaned on good bond and aortgaga, aad
the interest paid to them ; th^ are also te hMve
$5,000 oat of the capital when they get ■■■■■ittj,
whioh is to be 80 placed tbat their hnsbaadaeat
use only the interest. Tne meaning of the will ia
so hidden that the Executors instituted asait iir
its proper constructfon, and Judge Pratt, beliasa
whom tbe matter was fUlly argued, yestarday na-
dered tbe following decision:
From a earefiil eonslderatton of tJie wbole wQI, I am
constrained to hold that it was the intention of tka
testator to convert the real eetste into peisonsUy saA
to create an active trust fbr the execnton to perftna
in respect to Eyelyn T. and Adele T. Low. If um aaa-
elusion is correct, Ic follows liy nrrrnnsrrlmp'ifstfcw
that • power oi sale is vested la the Exeeoton to tlM
extent of the portions of Eveiyn az>d Adeie. Tbe tnMS
attempted to be created in tbefrartli elaaaesf^
will must be held to be void. The roal estate theraia
described descends to the helra at Uw of tka
testator, according to 'the laws of ttie Ststts ta wUell
it U situated. Toe personalty l^ieea into tbe e»-
Fidnary estate and passes wiu itio thsresidaaiy
legatees. In regard to tto rights of Alice Bjinaooy
under this will' I am ioelined u> believe n* eatate or
interest Is ve8t«d in ber under tbe thtzd claosa a<
the will; that the snm of $10,000 is vested In the
Executors in trost toi^hsr. she havfog a eondWoaaT
power ot appointment U fall eiZeot is te be xivaa t*
the sixth clause of the will, and it ia upon tbat areaaa
that a power of sale la the execution iS ImpltedT it Cat-
lows that Kvelya T. and Adele T. take no interest fea
the principal tnad set apart for tbeir benefit, bat ttc
same is vested m the EXecut rs. subject to tbe
therein deecrioed. I do not tlriak Alioe Hai iiiimy f
anything under tne fifth clause of tbe will, not b
iuff. however, to pass any opinion upMi the sul^eot «t
her claims as heir-at-law at tlie tesiator,.teaiiyJ
not situated m this State.
INTIMIDATIOK IN GEORGIA.,
The Washington, (WUkes County, Ga.,) Gas-
ette says, that the vote there was 1,139 for Tilden
and 2 for Hayes, and tben tallis thus plainly : "Tbe
above shows this old county -to be still true to the
Democracy. At tbe State election last month there
was not a single Radical vote polled in the county.
In the voting last Tuesday there were two voted at
this precinct, by whom is unknown; and it is well,
peibaps, tbat the two creatures who attempted to
dim our bright escutcheon should remain unsnown.
The two Bailiesl votes may have been polled by
negroes, but we do not know. About 10 o'clock a
large number of negroes, about two hundred in all,
marched luto town from the negro settlement in
procession. Tbey came, doubtless, with tbe inten-
tion of voting the Kadical ticket. They marched
up to the railing around the Csurt-nouse and halted.
They stood around for about half an hour, looking
confused and 8heepi<ih. They were no don bt ashamed
of tbemselyes. A few white men went among them
and talked with them, but could get nothing out of
ttiem. Some of the crowd had a curiosity to see a
Hayes and Wheeler ticket, and tried to find one
among these negroes, but they failed, as notja darky
wonld show hia ticket. Finally they withdrew in
good order, but looking very foolish."

exoehses that might be Inourred. X'he platatiC

on tbe ground tnat the sum was too Bma(l, and, aa
the other band, that she would be too much em-
barrassed If compelled to go to the Seteiee tm

to agree as to the sum tbat should be paid to Iba.

THE TAXATA)N of BANK STOCK.
! Decision was yesterday rendered la the Qen-
eral Term of the Supreme Court, Judge Bzadi
writing the opiuoa, in tbe ease of The People al
rel. the GalUtin li^atlonai Bank against the Cma
nussioners of Taxes, tho facts of which wore boobs
time ago reported in ThS Times. The ooftrt hcdda
^st the Gallatin Bank's shares of stock wore
properlyassessed at th^r actual valne, and net at
the par value, . as j the i appellant olaiaad
they should ,; be, and, -. further that tbia
principle is not .• afi^eoted ) by | the provisiaa •
in the enahllnc act -^ of Congraas, -; «rf
March 9. 1875, that the tax so assessed shall not ex-
ceed the par value. ThSj impost may be upon a
sum exceeding the par value when that snmTepr*.
sen ts the actual value of the share. The only restrtoi
tion Is, that the share shall not be taxed at a greajtel
rate than is Imposed on other moneyed capital tla
the hands of individuals of this State. This UmiU'
tion is not afifectsd by the fact *hat a part of flie
capital stock of the bank Is invested in bonds ol
the United States, or by the fact that the bank ta
required by law to acsiuniilate a reserve. The ra»
ppondents, in determining the tax to be imposed,
adopted a standard of value foanded upon the
banks statement* and ascertained by deduoUna
from such valne the proportionate share of tbe aa<
sessed value of the bank's real estate. In oooi
c'nding tho opinion. Judge Brady holds that the ra.
serve, which Js a part ot the capital of the bank,
and the surplus aa well, - were appropriately ta-
cludedin the estimate of value; that the Commis-
sioners nave acted properly, and tbe^wntef oartta'
rarl Is therefore dismissed. - i

Wednesday, Nov. 15 — P. M.
The apparent strength developed by the
stock market in tho lata dealings yesterday
was conspicuous by its absence to-day, and was
replaced by marked depression. The points
used to affect the course of speculation were
the netice sent to the authorities of the Stock
Exchange jby the St. Paul Railroad Company
anneimoiDg their intention to desist in fature
from furnishing reports of earnings, and a ru-
mor that there had been election riots in
New-Orleans. This story obtained little cre-
dence, but nevertheless had its effect upon
prices, a proof that stocks have passed into
weak hands who are ready to run at tho
first sign of trouble, i Outside of the special
causes alluded to the depression in financial
circles is accounted for byithe almost complete
stagnation m business conssquent upon tbe re-
action following the Centennial revival and the
election excitement.
The transaotioms for the day reached a total
of 134,880 shares, of which 54,125 were in Lake
Shore, 24,465 in St. Paul, 14,200 in Michigan
Central, and 8,900 la Pacific Mail. Lake Shore
declined at the openine oo 55%, and, after rising
te56%, dropped to 54 7/^. St. Paul declined,
from 20% to !&% for the common, and from .

Louisiana product, and the course of the New-Orleans
market. Messrs. Dan Taimage's Sous to Co. remark :
' ' Since our last issue our market .has moved along
quietly, with prices in buyers' feror, holders being
willing to make concessions in order to make sales.
Up to the commencement of the Sngar season the
planters ware favored with a long spell of fair weather
lor threshing: this allowed the crop to be put on tho
market more rapidly than ever beiore. The receipts
< f rough to date full.y equal the total receipts of the
first eight months of last Beason's crop. This heavv
supply, combined with the general lull in trade inci-
dent to the election exoitemeius, has depressed prices
to a point below the cost production."

FREIGHTS — Under very fivoraole* advices from

troleum export line, leading to an active inquiry for
tonnage suited to this interest, rates on which were
again quoted firmer, with decided coufidence aopkrent
on the part ol ship-owners, who were offering vessels
much less freely at current quotations. Tonnage for
Grain. Cotton. Naval Stores, and Lumber, on charter,
was moderately sought after at steady fibres; and
for Tobacco, Deals, and general cargo, at
somewhat irregular quotations. In the way of berth
freights the market was quoted stronger, notably ao
for room for grain, which was offered With reserve at
higher rates. The demand for accommadation was

asked .For Liverpool the engagements reported,

pose of developing that missing electoral
vote. We understand them to be tolerably
unanimous in claiming that the functions
of Eetuming Boards in the Southern
States are " purely ministerial ;" that
they have simply to register the decisions
of i.the County Canvassers and," m no
case to '■ go behind the record
of the votes " actuallv cast."
I'hat doctrine might or might not help
them to the electoral vote of Louisiana; they
seem to think it At least worth sticking to
till the returns come in. But, by way of
securing another chance for their defeated
candidate, they have, after careful search,
discovered two Postmasters "among the
Presidential Electors chosen by Repub-
lican States. Thereupon comes the demand
that the State Boards, which in this case
happen to be endowed by no law with other
than purely ministerial functions, must
•throw out the votes cast for the Postmas-
ters, and that if they fail to do so, the Gov-
ernor must refuse them their certifioates

makes

ex-
election. In other words,
ern boards, which the law
judicial bodies, must act as
clerical ones, and Northern
on which judicial functions are not
pressly conferred, must assume them. When
Democratic editors cool off a little, they
may probably concede that pretensions like
these are mutually destructive, and that it
is not inconceivable that some of their
readers should have intelligence eno ugh to
perceive that fact.
If, as the Democrats assume, no State
Board for the canvass of votes can do more
than simply aftcept the record of the votes
actually oast, then the Postmasters in
Oregon and Vermont must certainly be de-
clared duly chosen as Presidential Electors,
and if any delect exists in their
official title it must be cured by
their resignation and the filling
of their places by th§ir associates, as
provided by State law. Cut the question is
one of too much importance to be held as
settled because the Dempcrats have shut
themselves out from alTpossibility of ob-
jectins: to the validity of suah an election.
As SoLLACE, of Vermont, is said to have re-
signed his office, the day before election, no
disqualification seems to attach to his case.
As Watts, of Oregon, does appear to be dis-
qualified from acting, the only question to be
settled is whether his ineligibility can qual-
ify any member ot the ticket for Presiden-
tial Electors which secured the lowest num-
ber of votes. The legal principle which
underlies that question has been settled in a
variety of cases^ and always adversely to the
claim of a minority candidate to succeed to
the glace which some informality prevented
the cOTdidate elected by the majority from
filling.^
is certain Democratic Electors have been
discovered to be unreconstructed rebels, we
shall probably hear less discussion about the
transmission to minority candidates of pow-
ers confided to those of the majority. It is
not definitely known how many of the
f lectors chosen by the Democratic South
■e disqualified because their political disa-
bilities have not been removed.' There are
beUeved to be two, and there may be as
many as six. The ccStStitntional provision
bearing on their case is the following :
ABTiCLEXrV., Sec. 1— No penon ahali be a Sen-
ator or Representative In Congress, or Elector of
President and Vice President * * •■ who, hav-
ing previanslv taken an oath as a member of Con-
giesa, or as an officer of the United States, or as a
member of any State Lesislatare, or as an exeoative
orjadicial officer of any State, or any other office,
to support the Const! tntion of the Uuited States,
shall have eneaged in insnrrection or rebellion
against the same, or given aid or comfort to the
enemies thereof. Bnt Congress may. by a vote of
two-thirds ul each hoase, remove sach disability.
There is probably not a Presidential Elector
chosen in any of the Democratic States of
the South who was loyal during the war,
and it would not be singular if out of 119
names, a good many had incurred disabili-
ties and failed to have them removed.
^ome of our contemporaries have asked
why The Times has not published the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches tjiving what pur-
ported to be election returns from South
Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana. The an-
swer is simply because we considered our own
special dispatches to be mor^ trustworthy,
and because we have daily~evidence that
the Southern ,; agents of the Associated
Press send out the most exaggerated Demo-
cratic claims under the form of news. Take
the case of Florida. We publish to-day a
, full list from our special correspondent of the
Republican majorities at present conceded
by the Democrats, and of the majorities in
Democratic counties as reported by Demo-
crats. The first show a total of 7,438,
and the second of 7,188, so that on their
own eiiowing, and in advance of the
action of the Board of Canvassers on returns
tainted "by fraud or intimidation, the Demo-
crats have lost the State. Yet it is only
three days ago since an , Associated Pi^ss
dispatch was published containing what
claiPied to be an authoritative' table of
conjjties in which the Republican majorities
notr conceded .by Democrats were under-
BtJited by 500 votes, and the m^orities now
re ported or estimated . by them were over-
v'tated by about 700 ^ votes, thus fabricating
a majority of 1,200 ) votes out of the merest
^ragrtmd assumption.
A New-Orleans journal publishes a couple
of dispatches addressed to the Democratic
leaders of that city by prominent brethren
in Indiana. One proceeds from the Demo-
cratic Committee in Indianapolis, and is in
reply, evidently, to some appeal. It reads :
" Telegram received and read. Democratic
head-quarters answer : ' Fear not your Re-
turning Board.' The popular heart of a
quarter of a million maiority is with jou."
Indiana Democracy always was of the Cop-
perhead breed, and the old spirit reappears
still more positively in the second dispatch,
which emanates from a prominent Demo-
cratic editor : '* Democrats of Indiana will
fight Kellogg and his party if they cheat us
on the count. We shall have fair play or
blood." In this way. Northern Democrats
fan the flames of discord in Louisiana,
and help to precipitate the popular violence
which the Picayune has threatened as a con-
sequence of its party's defeat.

TRE DEMOCRATIC FuLICY.
There is evidently bnt little agreement as
to the course which the Democratic mana-
gers shall pursue in their efforts to prevent
Gov. Hayes from taking the office to which
the preponderance of evidence shows that
he has been elected. But there is an obvi-
oas unity as to the object itself, and what-
ever variety there may be in the means to
be adopted is due to the uncertainty as to
what shape the question may finally take.
The following lines of action have been sug-
gested and sustained with more or less
firmness and distinctness by the organs of
the party: i
First it is proposed to secure a formal
return of the voties in some one of
the States ef South Carolina, Florida,
or Louisiana, so that prima facie the elec-
tion, as it would reach Congress on the sec-
ond Wednesday in February, would be in
Mr. Tieden's favor. This policy has been
pushed in several ways. The destruction
of ballot-boxes in Florida, the attempt to
deprive the Returning Board of their stat-
utory powers in South Carolina, and the
congregation of Democratic politicians
and lawyers at New-Orleans insisting that
the"actDal" rote, no matter how illegal,
shall be accepted by the Returning Board,
no matter how mandatory its duty to throw
out fraudulent votes — all these are in-
stances of what the Democratic managers
'.have seen fit to do to secure a prosumptive
case before the counting in February.
.;^ Secondly, ^ the Tilden organs have
'advanced
distinctly and in form rescinded by
the Senate, is in fact yet in force, and that
when the count occurs in February, it will
be the right of the House of Representatives
to throw out the votes of any State or States
to which it chooses to object. This, of
course, is a very desperate position, and in-
volves an open breach between the two
houses. The pretension is that the joint
rules are a compact between the two
branches of Congress, which can only be
abrogated by the consent of the House. The
Senate, being a cofatinuous body, is held
bound by a rule once adopted unless the
House consents to repeal it ; but the House,
changing every two years, is bound only by
its own action. Thus, the House having
adopted the joint rules, including the twen-
ty-second, at the last session, renewed the
contract wifti the Senate, from which the
Senate could not release itself. This is a
beautiful specimen of hair-splitting.
It shows on how slender a thread
Bome of the Democrats are ready to
hang a claim that, if adhered to, must lead to
hopeless confusion. The weakness of the
theory lies in the fact that, there is not a
scintilla of authority or reason to regard a
joint rule as a "contract." Such a rule is
simply a convenience contrived by the two
houses to facilitate public business. - The
House during the last session proposed to
adopt the rules previously governing, and
sent the resolution to the Senate, which
amended it, and sent it back. The amend-
ment was not agreed to by the House,
and the proposition fell through, as
any other joint resolution would have done
to which one house refused assent. To ex-
pect that the Senate will now regard the
rules as in force, in order to give the House
a chance to get control of the election of
President, is simply absurd. It is the more
absurd because the people have just made a
change in the House, which if it could take
effect immediately, would give the Presi-
dent, if the election were thrown into the
House, to the Republicans.
A third method of getting the election
into the House, and one which has not been
wholly abandoned, is to deprive Mr. Hayes
of one electoral vote, either by a vacancy
in some one of the colleges or by charging
disqualification, w^hich could not be reme-
died, on someone Elector in States wheJe the
Republicans have the college. It has been
assumed by the World in a pettifogging
spirit that an Elector in Vermont, who had
been a Postmaster, not only could not act
himself but could not be replaced by any
one who could act, and ^that one vote in
Vermont must be irretrievably lost. It
turned out th^t the facts were not as had
been assumed, and the amazing refinement
of the WorWs legal argument only made its
author ridiculous ; but it showed the reck-
lessness of the partisan feeling which sug-
gested it.
It is worth while, in this connection, to
point out that an election by the House of
Representatives is the least desirable mode
of making a choice of President, and that on
the two occasions when it has been neces-
sary to resort to it, the country has been
deeply disturbed by its inconsistency with
the spirit of our institutions. Madison wrote
as late as 1823, when he had watched for
more than a third of a century the workings
of the Constitution : " With all. possible
abatements, the present rule of voting for
President by the House of Representatives
is so great a departure from the republican
principle of numerical equality, and even
from the Federal rule, which qualifies the
numerical by a State equality, and js so
pregnant, also, with mischievous ten-
dency in practice, that an amendment of
the Constitution on this pointis justly called
for by all its considerate and best friends."
But the Democracy of to-day is not of the
kind which Ma ison professed, and it
makes no account of the evils it Invites if it
can secure a political advantage.
Last and most desperate of all is the sug-
gestion to which we have heretofore re-
ferred, that the House of Representatives
may refuse to attend with the Senate on
the second Wednesday in February, or may
withdraw, if the votes sent up to be counted
from the various States do not suit it, and
80 prevent any legal counting of the elec-
toral votes or any declaration of the result.
We pointed out the other day that the only
possible result ot such revolutionary action
wotdd be to make the President pro tern, of
the Senate acting President of the United
States. This' seems to have been a view of
the matter which had not occurred to the
inventors of Democratic contrivances for
getting a President without electing
one. Accordingly the claim was quickly
set up that a President pro tern.
of the Senate, chosen during the next ses-
sion, could not succeed to the powers of act-
ing Vice-President. But such a quibble
cannot be allowed to stand in the way of a
clearly reasonable solution of a difficulty so
grave as that into which the Democrats
threaten to push the country. The Consti-
tution expressly gives Congress the deter-
mination of the officer who shall fill any va-
cancy occurring in the Presidency when
there shall be no Vice-President to fill it.
Congress by a law which has stood from the
very foundation of the Government, has des-
ignated the President of the Senate as such
officer. Doubtless there might have been a;
better choice, but there cannot now be any
change in the choice except by amending
the law. It would be criminal folly to raise
a technical objection to the official tenure
of the only officer who, in such a juncture,
could succeed to the Presidency.

REPUBLICANS AND AN " RONEST
COUNT."
We hope that the Republicans who have
gone to the South, whether on the sugges-
tion of the President or in compliance with
the wishes of party friends, will enter into
no discussion or arrangement on the
basis laid down by the Democrat-
ic delegation which is there at the in-
stance of Mr. Hewitt. They cannot pre-
sume to debate with their opponents the
limits within which the Buards of Caavassers
shall couliue their ftction, for the law
in the respective States prescribes the
duties that are to be discharged, and the
powers that may be relied upon to render
the work efficacious. Nor can the visiting
Republicans claim any right to sauction
compromises !)y the Boards, or to negotiate
with the Dooiocrats any bargain whereby
results shall be in the slightest degree ad-
justed to suit the wishes or interests of the
latter. The gentlemen who have assumed the
JLnositiottiOi'iiOft-QOiaifliasionodreDreaentiitives
of the Republican Party will lose aU chance
of usefulness if they attempt to bind the
party or even to speak in its name. They
are simply observer.^, whose report as to
facts will command confidence at the North,
and who by Virtue of that confidence will
naturally exercise some moral influence in
the disputed States during the progress of
the judicial investigations which the Return-
ing Boards' are required to make. Their
presence will tend to sustain the members
of the boards in the performance of a
difficult task, and to counteract the dicta-
torial and menacing tone which Mr.
HjcwiTT'a representatives have assumed.
Beyond this, we do not see that the gentle-
men delegated by the President, or by any
Northern Republican organization, can ad-
vantageously go.
It is best to understand at the outset that
there is not the slightest probability of con-
currence on the part of the two groups of
public men now assembled at New-Orleans
as regards either the powers and duty of
the Returning Board, or the decision which
that body mav finally reach. The differ-
ences are fundamental. The Democrats con-
tend that any interpretation of the law
which vests , in the board authority to act
in other than a ministerial capacity ig un-
constitutional, and, therefore, that all the
board can properly do is to canvass the
votes "actually cast," without refefence to
considerations affecting the validity of the
Votes or the validity of the returns respecting
them. The Republicans hold the opposite
view on both points. They appeal to the
law enacted by the Louisiana Legislature in
harmony with the Constitution of the State,
and they insist that, in pursuance ofc this
law, the board is imperatively required to
act upon complaints impugning proceedings
at the polls, or subsequent action based
upon them. They insist further that the
question really to be decided is, not the
number of votes "actually cast," but the
number lawfully cast ; not the result of
returns made up corruptly or under press-
ure, but the result of returns
from which fraud and illegality have
been eliminated, and which thus form the
only tenable basis 'of an honest count." We
cannot conceive of any agreement, either as
to the mode of action or the consequences,
between parties so radically separated.
The terms of the Democratid circular of in-
vitation which we printed yesterday show
that its authors have made up their minds
in advance, so far as the essence of the con-
troversy is concerned. They have gone, re-
solved to attempt to force upon the board
an interpretation of its duties which com-
ports with their partisan interest, and they
wiU assail any action and ,ahy reslilt which
exclude fraudulent returns, or which inflict
disfranchisement upon parishes in which
the majority of electors were fraudulently
deprived of voting power. The moral influ-
ence of the Republican observers depends
upon their steadfast resistance to the fore-
gone conclusions of the Democratic delega-
tion. The only strength they have is moral
strength, and it is conditional upon their in-
flexible adherence t» the purpose* of the
President and the Republican Party — a pur-
pose which looks only to the prevention of
fraud and to the expression of electoral
opinion in Louisiana, honestly and lawfully,
at the polls.
For a time, perhaps, the Democratic
leaders may succeed in hoodwinking the
moderate members of their own party
touching their conduct in reference to Lou-
isiana. They point to the circular issued
by J. M. Palmer and his associates as evi-
dence of conciliatory intentions, just as
they have used the parrot-cry of " an hon-
est count" as proof of the integrity of their
intentions. Both pretexts are too transpa-
rently dishonest to be available outside of
the rankest partisanship. What is paraded
as an overture of conciliation is simply a
demaiid upon the Republicans to surrender
the vital principle at stake, precisely as the
" honest count" is a phrase appropriated to
cover notorious fraud. Clamor may for the
moment impair the appreciation of these
facts by persons who would not intention-
ally be privy to deception, but the truth
will gradually come to be understood, and
the equity and reasonableness of the ground
assumed by the Republicans will then bo
acfciowle^ed.
Meanwhile, let there be no glossing ove
of the difficulties that are encountered /in
Louisiana, Florida, and South CarolmaAnd
no concession fatal to principle as a/Jiieans
of ridding ourselves of unpleasant explica-
tions. The difficulties exist ;' th^ must be
met manfully, irrespective of possible con-
sequences. The complications are inevita-
ble, whatever the immediater outcome of the
point in dispute; and the only feasible
method of mitigating their unpleasantness
is by a firm adherenne to what is known
to be lawtul and ^nght. It, after all, the
Democrats really rnean to resist by violence,
or by revolutionary artifice, decisions which
shall give the/disputed States to the Repub-
licans, we sh^ll lose nothing by awaiting
calmly theiulfiUmeUt of their threats. Cer-
tainly these threats ought not to be allowed-
to influence, to the extent of a hair's
breadth, the application and enforcement
the law, or the acceptance of any respon-
'sibility which the law may entail upon the
party in possession of the Federal power.
TRE NEXT PRESIDENT.
Gov. Hayes has passed through the trial
of a Presidential contest unscathed. Since
bis nomination he has been at all times dis-
creet and wise. Prior to his honorable
triumph over his competitors at Cin-
cinnati he had exhibited the same wis-
dom and discretion. He had made no
speech and written no letter with the
Presidency in view. He had not restricted
his absolute freedom of action by one
written or verbal promise or pledge.
He had not expended a farthiug or
taken one step to bring about his
nomination. His closest friend cannot say
that he ever heard Gov. Hayes admit that
he was a candidate for the Presidency at
all. He is one of the few men living who
has filled important offices for sixteen years
without once having sought an office. His
friends claimed in the nominating Conven-
tion that he combined merit and availa-
bility in a higher degree than any other
candidate, and this claim was recognized by
a nomination. His brief remarks on ac-
cepting the nomination showed sound
judgment. His dispatch to Mr. BLM^^a
was, perhaps, a little too exube'rant,
but was natural in one striving
to show maznanimity to a defeated
rival. His familiar talk to his neighbors at
Fremont exhibits the warmth of his affec-
tions, his love of home and its surroundings,
and his practical views of life. The letter
of acceptance was simply admirable. Since
that honest declaration of faith, Gcv. Hayes
has preserved that reticence which, in a
Presidential candidate, is the highest wis-
dom. He has said nothing, written nothing,
and done nothing damaging in the smallest
degree to his cause. No utterance or private
letter has found its way into print to work
jnjury. The Lee-Tyler, or American Alli-
ance letter, if an exception, was the letter
of his Secretary, and was never seen or
signed by him.
The Governor of Ohio has remained at
his post of official duty, and has not been
absent frohi his State except for the patri-
otic purpose of a visit to the Centennial
Exhibition. He has refrained from taking
part in the management or direction of his
own canvass, and has not even visited the
rooms of the State Executive Committee at
Columbus for conference or consultation.
He has not expended a dollar to promote
his own election. He has not ostentatiously
voted for himself, deeming such a course
wanting in propriety. He has quietly per-
formed the duties of the office he now fills,
and has not neglected them to seek for an
office that is still higher. He has preserved
calmness and sobriety of action and de-
meanor throughout the fierce contest, and
has been the coolest spectator of the, excit-
ing scene among the millions.
When the earliest election returns made
it seem probable that Mr. Tilden was elect-
ed President, Gov. Hayes frankly conceded
the probability in that direction. When the
later, more authentic, and mainly official
returns threw the preponderance of evi-
dence in favor of his own election, the Re-
publican leader was equally just, but no
more generous, to his own side. A leader
so well poised and wise will not fail to bear
himself creditably in the difficulties and re-
sponsibilities yet to be encountered, and
emerge from them with still stronger claims
to the confidence and esteem of his coun-
trymen. ,
EIFLEWOMEN.
A few days ago the members of a Califor-
nia rifle association were engaged in the
great moral duty of shooting at a mark
when a lady, carrying a long-range rifle,
decorated with the usual quantity of sur-
veying instruments and meteorological ma-
chines, made her appearance, and an-
nounced that she intended to shoot. The
astonished riflemen did not dare to inter-
pose any objection, but flew madly toward
the target, in order to obtain a safe posi-
tion. The unruffled lady — though, on sec-
ond thought, she may have had more or
less ruffles concealed about her person —
stretched herself upon the ground, tied her-
self into the intricate knot usually called
"the Creedmoor position," shut her eyes
firmly, and fired. To the dismay of the
riflemen, she actually hit the target at the
distance of a thousand yards, thereby se-
riously imperiling the lives of those who
had sought safety in its vicinity. It was
evident that something must be promptly
done to check the threatened effusion
blood, and the lady was therefore hurrie
presented with a gold medal, and Irired
from the ground before she had timejto fire
a second shot.
Californians have been so lon^ in the
habit • of having themselves shot in the
course of social "difficulties'/ that they
ought not to be seriously alarmed because
they are now threatened with the devastat-
ing rifles of ambitious riflewomen. It is,
however, a matter of very great importance
to riflemen of other States that a woman has
set her sex the example of shooting at a
mark other than an/objectiona|)le husband
or a^ unsatisfactory lover. Women- have
already invaded/the domains of physicians,
lawyers, and clergymen, but if they are
bitten by a/oesire to become expert rifle-
women, the insecurity of life and limb
which will ensue will be a serious, if not
fatal, check to the prosperity of the country.
It if/quite possible that by careful study
women may learn to distinguish between
the muzzle and the breech of a rifle, al-
ough they are undoubtedly bom with the
idea that the breech, being much larger
than the muzzle, is the active and efficient
end of a gun. It is when they have learned
the truth as to this matter, and rashly fancy
themselves able to load an d fire, that the
real danger to the community will become
imminent. Unfortunately, the cartridge of
a breech-loading rifle is so constructed that
it cannot be inserted wrong end first; and
hence women can hardly make any ■« oeful
mistake in loading their weapons. If we
had a rifle which, when carelessly loaded,
would discharge itself backward, the slaugh-
ter resulting from female rifle-practice
would be greatly curtailed, and would,
moreover, be of a kind which would tend to
discourage the sex from meddling with fire-
arms. Such a rifle will, of course, be in-
vented as soon as the number of riflewomen
demonstrates its necessity, but before that
time our fair land may be covered with the
corpses of unhappy men who chanced to be
■within range of a rifle wielded by feminine
hands.
The riflewoman wiU have no insuperable
difficulty in assuming the " Creedmoor po-
sition," though she will naturally kill a
few persons by accidentally twisting th e
hammer of her rifle in her back hafr while
tying herself into the requisite quantity of
knots. It is when she shuts her eyes and
aims at the vague target which, to her im-
agination, extends along the horizon through
an arc of 180° that the chief slaughter will
beo-iu. That she cannot fire without pre-
viously shutting her eyes will be univer-
sally conceded by every one who has the
slightest knowledge of her sex, and hence
the direction which may be taken by her
ball will be wholly a matter of chance.
The innocent boy who may be blithely
stealing apples in a tree a hundred yards to
the right of the target will bd as liable to
be hit as is the man who is standing by the
rlflewoman's side, and the yells of those
who are unexpectedly hit in painful places
will be the only means of ascertaining
whither the wandering bullets have sped.
Of coui'se, most persons will regard the
space immediately in frout of the target as
the safest position, but even here they can-
not be sure of immunity. The nflewoman
may suddenly take it into her head to aim
at the north star, and thus hit the very
centre of the bull's-eye. The simple truth
is that there will be no such thino. as aafAtw.
within a radius of at least fifteen linndred
yards of a woman with a rifle, and her
path to and from the rifle ground will be
strewn with the victims of -accidental dis-
charges. ^
This is a picture -srhich may fill ua with
alarm. The poet h|» forcibly, and appar-
ently prophetically, said, "that angels
rash in where riflemen fear 'to tread," and
there is every reason to fear that the exam*^
pie of the California riflewomen will inspire
her contemporary angels with a thirst for
target-shooting. Fortunately^ however, we
do not grieve as those who have no hope.
We cannot expect to keep Women out of
Creedmoor and other rifle-grounds by force,
but we can call to ottr aid the fierce and
terrible field-mouse. With a little encourage-
ment in the nature of crumbs, Creedmoor can
be made, in the course of another season, to
swarm with mice. Let it be once thoroughly
understood that to assume the "Creed-
moor position" on any rifle-ground is to de-
liver one's self to the careftQ and consoientions
scrutiny of hungry and curious mice, and
no woman will' venture within miles of
the place. It would not be necessary to go
to the extreme length of rats, or even to cir-
culate rumors of supposititious snakes. The
mice alone would insure Creedmoor from
female invasion, and if husbands and bro-
thers would aid in the gcod work by stealth-
ily concealing mice in the cartridge-boxes
ofjriflewomen, it is morally certain that femi-
nine zeal for nfle-shooting would suffer a
sudden and complete eclipse.
TERRORISM IN MISSISSIPPI.
THE GROSSEST MEASURES OF INTIMIDATION
IN THE STATE — THE VOTE AS IT STANDS
ILLEGAL AND OUTRAGEOUS.
To the Editor of the New- York Timet :
Since the result of the electidn is to be deter-
mined bv ihe votes ot certain States South, 1 con-
sider it of the greatest importance that von and the
other leadinejonroalisu of the North should lone no
time in sxposine the shockintr, villainoas manner in
which the Democrats have carried and attempted to,
carry the Soatbem States. I hope you will bei
to mold public opinion in sach a shape that no
nerof fraad and lawlessness will be acisepted^and
permitted to determine who is to be the next/Presi-
dents Every effort is Koing to be made byjtae per-
sons who committed these deads of lawlessness to
force public opinion in their favor, and Mmpel the
North to accept Tilden, althoneti elected by fraud
and teirorism. I have made it my bosineks for the
last two davs to find oat the pr/railing feeling
amons: Dnmocrats here, and I /find that there
is a mete defiant spirit manifc'sting itself than
I ever knew dnnng the war. /Open resistance is
oonnseled in the event Hayes^ is inangarated, be-
cause they say they know i^ouisiana, South Caro-
lina, and Florida have been' carried for Tilden, and
if tbey are counted for Hayes, it will be so by fraud.
More than a hundred iboasand etattments and affi-
davits can be had seming forth a revolting and
ehocking condition oflawl.essness. Notning like it
ever before existedy4nd could the people who saved
the Union and put down treason bnt know the ac-
tual facts, they/woald never permit Tilden to be-
come President; made such bv the votes of Missis-
sippi, ArkanjraB, Louisiana, Alabama, and South
Carolina. To permit the vote of Miasisiippi to be
counted ywonld be placins a premium on a
series .pi the darkest and most vUlainoua
acts that ever disgraced a civilized people.
By boineand should the Electoral vote of Mississippi
be cdunted, for I tell yoa there is no doubt, if Se-
pelicans hadJtinen allowed to vote as tbey wished,
id without being threatened in all manner of ways,
'beaten, and kili««d, Mississippi would have voted for
Hayes by 20.000 mE^jority. I made it my business to
inform myself, aiud I can safely say, and so will
every reasonably fair man, that there is not four per
cent, of the negroes in Mississippi Democrats.
Ninety-nine out ol every hundred would have voted
for Hayes had there been no terrorism, and voters
had been aUowed to vote, say as free from molesta-
tation as one would witness in any Northern State.
The charges that mizbt be made against the Demo-
crats here would cover every species of crime known,
from mnrder down. Republicans suffered beyqgd
all conception, the time being over a month.
Aud if Tilden is permitted to take charge of the
Executive ofiioe, their oppression and Bufferiag will
but have bezun. Armed men in bands rode
throneh parts of the State, shoutine at colored
men and disbanding their political organizations.
Many have been shot, many driven from their
homes. Those oariu;; deeds of tmst and mort-
gagee on their property w^ere threatened with in-
stant foreclosure of the same, and depriving them
of all they bad; tbreats of instant dismissal from
labor, and depriving ibem of employment at which
to earn enough th prevent sufuriDg and want, were
made to almost every colored voter. Thousands
were poijtedlv told that if they came to the polls
and attempted to vote the Kepublioan ticket, they
-would be killed. In some counties no colored man
voted. In almost every county where tbe colored
people made any show of a spurit of independence,
a riot was gotten up, and some of tbe oulored men
were killed. I had related to me yesterday by an
eye-witness, the maunei the election was carried
m Grnnada, Grenada County. Miss. He said
the Democrats took possession of tbe polls early,
and remained there, permitting no colored person
to vote. At about 3 P. Jl. one ooiored man worked
his way through tbe crowd, and was about to vote,
when he was Knocked down by some D''inocrats
and pushed out. The colored people outnumber
the whites three to one in tbe county. When the
disturbance occurred, the colored people, number-
ing about seven hundred, went home. Suppusme
tbev might make some show of rebistanoe. the
whites gots their euns and maae ready. A cannon
was stationed at tbe polls, and was fired during the
day regularly, and an attempt wan made to load it
with shot when the discurbance occuned. Very few
colored men voted in that ovunty. A few days
before part of tbe town, incladms the Poscr Office
ana building in which the Ivepnbhcan newspaper
was published, was burned, evidently bv Demo-
crats. P.. of Oxford, Miss.

LAW AND ORDER IN VIRGINIA.
BITTERNESS OP THE EX-REBELS-t— THEIR
DELIBERATE PUKP08E TO DRIVE NORTH-
ERN-BORN MEN OUT OP THE STATE-
OUTRAGES ALL OVER THE STATE ON
ELECTION DAY. . «
To the Editor of the Ntw-Torlt Times:
In the buncome proclamation of Gov. Kem-
per, issued on the 4:h inst. in protest against the
presence of TJaited States troops at Petersburg, it
Is stated that " no domestie violence, no breach, of
tbe peace, iio molestation of any citizen in the ex-
ercise of any right exists or is threatened or appre-
hended or likely to arise in the Commonwealth.
Perfect peace, order, and security reign throughout
cur borders ; every citizen, of whatever race, color,
or condition. Is protected in all his personal aod
political rights, privileges, and immimitiei by all
the authorities of this State."
As no Virginian would oe apt to admit that Gov.
Kemper is grossly ignorant of affairs in his own
State, he must be condemned of deliberate falsifi-
cation tor partisan and unpatriotic purposes. No
intelligent man of either party in the State but/
knows t^at for years election-day in Petersburel
bas been one carnival ot riot. Intimidation, and \
fraud. Not content with legislating out of office ,
the Republican officers of Petersburg, ander whose
administration the ciiy debt and taxes had been
alike reduced, and (as with Richmond) gerryman-
dering the city in the grossest manner. Democratic
rioters have, year after year, assaulted Republican
voters, black and whito— intimidated, beaten, and
shot ibem — stolen and destroyed ballot-boxes and
poll-lists, and not one State official has to this day
raised hand or voice against it. The presence of
troops in Petorebnrc this year was all that pre-
vented a still bloodier repetition of these scenes ;
for, lareely Republican as is the Fourth District,
tbe Democrats bad determined to deteat Joreensen
by any means in their power. Happily, if the tel-
egraph speaks tmtii, they have failed, despite their
frauds in several counties of the district.
But Petersburg is only a sample— a lingle in-
stance. Most reaiing people are familiar with the
fraud and violonoe exposed by the Brady-Gayie
contest in the Virginia State Senate, and the PUtt-
Goode contest in the present House of Representa-
..tives to both of which «ri<rantic and unblushing
frauds the Democratic party gavei conntenance and
approval. Gov. Kemper included. In 1878 and

AMUSEMENTS.
HEIXKR'S "WONDER THEATRE."
Mr. Heller's "Wonder Theatre" was last even
ing opened to the public for the season. It is the house
formerly Inown as the Globe, bat its exterior is the
only part bearing any resemblance to the once
familiar place of amusement^the anditoriam having
been comfortably and richly fitted ud. and the
small and tawdry stage metamorDhosed into a
carpeted and tapestried boudoir, warm in onlsr and
bright with alabaster-shaded llgi>tg. Tbe enter-
tainment which Mr. Heller ofiars amid sncb cheery
aarroundings is well-calculated to while away
pleasantly a couple of hours. Mr. Heller is a pres-
tidigitatflur, a humorist, and a musician, and he
combines all his aeoomplisbments in his daily
work. His tricks, whether done by mechan-
ism or by sleight of hand, are executed
with wonderful dexterity, and his facile
and amuelng diaconrae endows them with an air of
novelty whicb, as they oocasionally lack newness,
is by no means unacceptable. Prestidigitation is a
good deal like tbe performances of the circus : tor a
qiurter of a centur.y. at least, no advance has been
made upon tbe achievements of tbe past. The
understanding on tbis point, however, is
quite general, and, hence, no disappoint-
ment is possible. As recorded already. Mr.
H«Uer transacts the bu'^iness of the modem con-
jurer with unswerving brisksess and success. He
destroys handKercbiefs under the very eyes of their
possessors, and returns thsm intact a minute later.
He dissolves a cagefnt of caaaries into tbin air, and
afterward re-creates the birds, and installs them in
a glass wrapped lu a dozen thicknesses of pa-
per. He Jamps Into a wicker basket placed
on the. stage in sight of the audience, and rushes into
their midst from the rear of the bouse before thirty
seconds have elapsed. The third part of Mr.
Heller's programme escspes, in a measure, from
the charge of ultra-familiarity. Dniiag tbis portion
of tne evening he bas tbe co-operation of Miss
Heller, who sits blindfolded and names, with almost
unfailing accuracy, a hundred artieles of dress, &c.,
shown to Mr. Heller while he rambles among the
spectators. Yesterday, Miss Heller supplied the
names nearly as quickly as, they were asked of
her, and her prompt mention of words and num-
bers on watches and coins selected at random
elicited loud applause. An Intermezzo of music
made known Mr. Heller as a tasteful piano player;
the draperies of tbe stage, however, and tbe de-
fective aoonstiea of the theatre robbed this part
of the representation of much of its efieot. The
" Wonder Theatre " may be visited nightly until
further notice.

THE ESSIPOFF CONCERTS. ,
Mme. Essipoff appeared at Stein way Hall
last evening, for the second time, and strengthened
the impression produced by her debut on
Tuesday. She is unquestionably the most
skil^ pianist, wi^b tbe exception of M.
Snbinstein, that has visited the United States in
tbe memory of the present generation, for, as we
mentioned in a critique which appeared yesterday,
and which renders a lengthened reference to the
lady Bupeifluous at present, she has all Dr. Yon
Billow's elegance and correotness, with a warmth
and an i^nvarymg grace m which that virtuoso
was deficient. Mme. Essipoff, too, has apparently
as extensive a repertoire as any of her predeces-
sors, and, like them, she always plays without
notes, so that she lacks none of the attributes of
an artist of distinction. Her reception, last
night, was most cordial, 'and the ap-
plause was hearty throughout the concert.
She executed Bubinstein's D minor concerto, with
its lovely Schnmannesqbe themes and its powerful
peroration, with delightful variety of tsne and ac-
cent, ana, afterward disposed of iseven minor num-
bers, conspicuous among which were a charming
nocturne by Pield, and three Chopin pieces,
which Mme. Essipoff interpreted with a clearness
of touch which did not in tbe least lessen — as too
much definition oocasionally does — tbe effect of the
morbidezza and mystery of Chopin's style.
A brilliant and vigorous performance of
Liszt's setting of Weber's well-known polo-
naise concluded Mme. Essipofi's share of the
concert. M. Vivien, the new viol nist, was heard
in a tuneful and thoroughly French violin -concerto
by L6onard. and in Wieniawsfci's polonaise. We
are still in doubt as to what position to assign to
this young artist ; his left-band execution is quite
remarkable; he bas reid taste and, to use a techni-
oal term, school in phrasing, and, every now and
then, his tone is pare and strong. Sometimes, how-
ever, M. Yivien, while in the higher positions,
IS uncertain, and occasionally, in particularly rapid
passages, his bow goes a trifle astray. It would be
jadieious for him, in any case, to avoid composi-
tions' suggesting direct comparison between him
and MM. Yienxtemps and Wieniawskl.

DISCOVERY OF A PART OF THE CREW
— NINE DEAD BODIES ON AN EXPOSED
ISLAND.
From the London Standard.
We have received from the Colonial OflBce a
copy of a letter which Rev, T. Bridges, Missionary
Superintendent of the South American Missionary
Society at Ooshooia, Terre Del Fuego, has ad-
dressei to Gov. Callaehan, Falklin Islands, re-
specting the lossof tbe Liverpool vessel, San Bafael,
belonging to Balfonr, Williams & Co. The rever-
end gentleman writes: "On the 22d of
April, a large party of Indians reached
Ooshooia from New Year's Sound, and
neighborhood, and brought news of the death of
nine men by starvation and exposure ou an exposed
part of the coast, which was iudged to be some-
where between Waterman and Henderson Islands,
They brought proof of their statements lu the cloth-
ing they wore and an English sovereign they of-
fered for sale. The report was as follows : An
Indian from his canoe had seen sisrns of the pres-
ence of strangers on a rugged islet. Being unac-
companied by any to help him save his wife, he
was afraid to land o« evcu approach near, but
wiBnt eastward in search of helpers. After some
time a small number in one. or two canoes ap-
proached, the men ladded and walked up, found
seven men dead and two still living. butver.v weak,
rigid in limb, emaciated, and unable to walk or
stand. Th« natives were affected to tears, and lit
a fire for the two sufferers, one of wbom was
stronger than his companion, and still retained bis
senses. Tbe Indians fetched tbem water and gave
them a shag (sea bird) and left them. Tne poor
men had neither fire, water, nor food,
and their skin bad largely peeled off,
and seven had alreedy died. Much cloth-
ing- was taken by the natives, but only
such as they found lying around. What
they took on this visit was ijiyen them by the poor
man to wbom they gave drink and food and rood.
The natives tried to straighten his legs, and offered
to convey him away in their canoe, but in vain. He?
drank l^wice and tasted tbe shag, but could not eat,
he was too far gone and too weak to avail himself
of the natives' kindness. He, howevor, gave away
many things, beckoning to them to take what they
chose. The natives tuen left, as they could not
remain there, because they could neither
moor their canoe to Ihe kelp in such
rough waters nor haul it ashore on the
steep rugged coast. The natives retvrned the fol
lo'fvtng da.y and found botn tbe men dead, but bad
weathOT prevented their return for some days. On
their return they found the whole nine dead. Tbey
then tosk away what they chose, but did not de-
nude the dead. We hear that the dead were lying
orderly, so placed by their sorrowful compan-
ions, but afterward found the naMves bed
placed most of the bodies as we found
tbem." The writer here goss into various details
regarding the voyage in the Allen Gardiuer to the
spot, and continues — "Weweut to Indian Cove in
search of competent guides, and were happy in flna-
ms two who bad been the first to visit tne place of
suffering. The nexi day, Thursday, May 18, we
were directed by tbem to the first landing, inside
of Black Head in Rous Sound. Two seamen, Cant.
Wuiis (master of the Allen Gardiner,) and
four Indians and myself accordinirly went
to the place, ' and, owing to the long con-
tiauad fine weather. easily effected .. a
landing,, two meu keeping the boiat ou and off,
while one alter another Jumped ashore. We
scrambled up the steep, rock.y coaiit, aud some
flity yards above tbe sea, near tbe middle of the
islet, or rather peninsula, found nine dead bodies
much decomposed, but all abuudantlv clothed.
Doe of tuese was the Caotain'a wife. Seven bodies
wore lying is a iocg hoUnw between rocks about
four feet wide and five teet deep, and about
forty feet long. Two boaies were away from
the rest, bat close to each other. At the upper ena
of this hollow the poor fellows had lived. Acros.'s
the rocks they bad spread canvas, perhaps their
boat's sail, which had attracted the Indian's sharp
slgnt from the ot^er side of the sound. Heie they
had made their fires and cooked their food, tins of
meat and such muBsels as tbey could gather on the
steep and wave-wasued coast of their circumscribed
prison, a peninsula about one hundred aud fifty
feet high, 100 yards wide from west to east,
and 300 yards long from north to south.
Ic apoeared from the sea to be Joined to the
main,- but on ascendiug we were horrified to^find an
ttbrupt chasm completely cutting off retreat from
this dreadful prison. From clothing ana otber
things we ascertained the names of eight of the^
dead, as follows: Mr. and Mrs. M'Adam, the latter
by birth we supposed to have been named M. proc-
tor, by flndint: that name on an ariiclo of dress, W.
H. SWitt, W. Daly. G. G. Stewart, T, Uoilandt,
and James Eeid, address oi latter Lockstilb,
or Luckhilt. Capt. Willis fortunately cam^
across a private note written in pencil
on four loose leaves of a pocketbook by Caot.
M'Aoam, addresed to his son. It was written on
tbe forty-first da.y of their stay on the desolate
island, when the writer was nearly blind, and
scarcely able to see the paper he wrote upon. The
note wiiB found under a little uush, and stated that
they were in a very low state, but eave no other
general int'ormatiou. We buried up tbe dead as wa
found them, as it was impossible to remove them.
Since then we have- recovered from the na-
tives a chronometer and case, which was
Slowed away lu a rock on an islet
in New-Year's Sound ; a barometer and
sextant cose, aud part of " South American Pilot,"
also hid away in like msnuer. A night binocular
was also freely given up, aud among the natives we
saw various triukeis they had obtained frtyn
watches, &c. From the quantity of things we saw
on ihe peninsular and beard of as having previous-
ly been removed by the natives, we imer that the
poor fellows had leisure in remonng from loeir
vessel. Th«ie were some five or six curs, about SJ4
empty moat tins, odds aud ends of clothing lyin,;
about, chart, broken epitomes, large chronometer
case, Bible, prayer, and sundry odds and ends of
other books. While .we were hunting about, the
two sailors In the boat pulled up into the bay near
by, and found parts of two name boards of tbe.
San Bafael, which we suppose to have been
tied tj the thwarts of thu boat, the wreckage
of which was lying around." The poor men
co.uld not have saved their boat on the place tbuy
lauded, as they could neitherhaveanchoreditoff nor
hauled it ashore. They must, according ro Capt.
McAdam's note, which is dated Feb. 15, 1876, have
landed ou Jan. 5, which is the midst or Summer.

raiso, with coal, was Durned on the 4th January, in
latitude 53° south, and longitude 76° west. Eleven
of the crew were picked up ou the 3l8C January by

Havaka, Nov. 14, via Key West, Nov. 15.—
Well groanded rumors are current here of a fight
having occurred, resulting disastrously to tne
Spaniards near Puerto Principe. The newly ar-
rived Spanish troops are said to have been engaged
in this affair. The Spanish forces retired to Puerto
Principe. There Is another rumor that the Spanish
authorities have captured a boat near Baracoa, with
four insurgents on board, carrying correspoadence
from Cuban refugees m New-York to the insurgents
here, stating that an expedition, with arms, ammuni-
tion, and money was on its way to tbis island under
command of Quesada.
Saturda.y's Gazette publishes a sentence of a
court-martial, held at Holguin, condemning a wom
au named Salome Gomez to be shot, and another,
named Paula Gamboa, to be banished. The offenses
for which these sentences were passed are not
given, but it is supoosed that both women were
implicated in the Las Tanas affhlr. Nothing what-
ever is made public about the investigation Into

tion are that tbe accused preached serlnOns covertly
hostile to the Spanish cause in tbis island, and that
they omitted to allude to Spain during their ser-
mons commemorative of the Yirgin De Pilar, the
patroness of Saragosa. in Spaia. For this latter
offense another priest. Father DooaH is under Judg-
ment, ahdalso for having alluded in a speech held

In yeistorday'a proceedings In the Btiit ior
Bcduotiun nnder promise of marriaea, brouKkt by
liliaa EaKenls Martinez aeainst Joan Del Valle, in
the Sapreme Cciart, before Judge Donohne, there
iru no abAtament of toe Interest which hu been
asaoclated wl(fa tbe oase aliioe it waa first broaKht
to trial, and imm^uae crowds thronged the oorridora
tbrouKhoat the entire day, olatnoriox for admission,
. ftDd ramly endaaTorins to catch a allmpse of the
eentral flgurea 1b the litigatton. In the ad-
Btiaaion of aoeotators a Jadiolona disorimination was
axeroiaad, and the appearance of the aadlenee waa
highly respeciable; bat there waa, nevertheless, the
same mdeoant exhibition of anxiety to stare at the
plaintiff aaA her alleged aedaoer and make un-
called-for eomments npon their manner and de-
portment. The prooeedlogt yesterday were tame
aad oommonplaoen^d commenced with the contin-
uation of Mr. Choate's address in opening the case
1, for the defenae — an able bat exceedingly temperate
. Btatement— tta purport being a general denial
of tha - obarge and allegationa of im-
proprieties on the part of the plaintifi.
The oTiileQae merely tonched aide lasaes, aad only
ineidentally bore npon the principal qaestion in
dlapate. The defendant himself waa placed apon
the stand, bat his inability to express himself prop-
erly in the English langaage, and tae absence of
any disinterested interpreter, made necessary an
earlir adJonmaaent to this morning, when his testi-
mony will be oentinaed.
The partiea to the action, accompanied by their
re^Mctive oonnael, were early in ooart, and Mr.
'Choate, oontinning hia address for the defenae,
•aid:
lOL CHOATB'S address FOS THB DEFE^*SE.
When we were interrapted by the ai^oarnment
laat Bight, I had reached the point in defendant's
nanatiye of tbia case which it ia important to nar-
rate to yon, at which the plaintiff, advancing upon
that aeqoaintanoe and fnendship, if you piease, that
bad grown np between them, made a farther step
forward which was calenlated to, and did, strongly
•ppMl to the sympathies of the detendant, by re-
Tealing to him what she had Id eonTersation pre-
▼loasly been strenglv shadowing fortb as a terrible
evil that rested over her in the honseboid of which
ah« waa a member; and I was proceeding to read to
von that letter in my opening addreaa ; bat per-
aapa it would^ he more legitimate tnat I sheald
poatpone that ontil yoa bear it read apon the
•tand. I may ata^ however, that it waa a diacloa-
-ore of a character to appeal to the sympathies of
any man — a revelation tnat she was or claimed to b»
— tor. of coarse, as to tne trath of the facts beyond
tne letter we have no opportunity to determine —
exoosed to a daily and terrible evil in tbo hoaae of
her alleged aceptather, not based nppn any of
thoae tnreata of shooting if she ahonld marry any-
body, however eligible, bat of a wholly different na-
tore— dangers which parsaed her, not froai any re-
volver or dagger, bat from the trightfal weapona
-•f loit, to whiob, i^om the approaches of
iMr atopfather, ahe alleged in tbia letter
that ahe had, . during all her girlhood, and down to
that time, been constantly exposed. Wei), this let-
ter ia very liltely the key of the wbole probflm which
will be permitted to voa to ir&lve, beoaase I think
it will shed a new liirbt upon the moral atmosphere
of the honaehold in which the plaintiff had been
brooghtup, and will explain to yua bow it is pes-
sikie for tnia interesting and beantiful woman to
have pat>aed through the experienoea and present
the apeotacle which ahe doea in thia case. Well,
Mt. Del Valle'a avmpathlea had been aroused an
yoora or any other man'a would be, and it waa not
without a purpoae, deep-seated and resolute, that
(hia fearful diacioaora was made to him by this fair
plaintiff because ahe began to follow it np with
auggestiona and appeala to him to take her into hia
impioyment in the capacity in which ahe baa testi-
fied that ahe afterward went to hia bouse at West-
theater. As I underataad from Mr. Dei Valle. her
ttatemeat that he originated that idea, that he
loaxht her aa a neoeaaary appendage to his honae-
holo, IS altogether a hallucination anddelusion, like
nany others aasociated with tbia case ; and it waa
for (be purpoae of aeeking * refuge from thia evil
which aae alleged puraued her in the households of
her mother, that ane appealed to him, by wav of
BuggesuoD at first, after wcrd more pointedly, and
Onauy aa a direct applicant for this situa-
tion in hif nonse — a house which, perhaps,
permitted of tne admiaaien of another member
m (hat capacity to attend to the general affairs
tf the houae and to superintend the general educa-
don of the children ; and all thia time, without the
saat amggeation on either aide, of marriage, or of
inythinK looking to it. Now, let me go back a little
n reconaidering the plaintrfiTs teatimouy. Another
%alln4n]tation, or deluaion, -rchich ahe haa eougtit to
:o»it upon the caae is, that there was some entang-
Ul^ aXiiance in which the defendant was involved
ji Ilia former place of reaidence, unknown to her
an their firat acquaintance, and which prevented
kia iorming a new matrimoniai alliance. G-entle-
ffion, 11 will be shown to yuu satisfactorily in evi-
dence that from the time of ihe death of Mr. Del
Vallo'e wife, wh-.cb occurred iu Cuba aoout three or
four yeara ago, there never had been the slightest
obstacle of the remotest imaginable nature in the
way of his maiTyiug Whenever ho saw dt to do so :
and thia pretenae, that he, after propoaiag
marriage, pressed for a secret marriage,
then pleaded the impoaaihility of marriage
altogether, becauae of a compromise which ano
couidnot understand, and which be did not explain
to her, la absolutely taise. No wonder she could
not understand what the cooapromise was, bacaaae
there waa nothing, noihlnc wiiatsoever,! that ad-
mitted in the lea*t,-iu the iaaagloary conatractlon
Of any such thing. He waa as free as man could
poaaioly be. JJiow, tuea. deny it — ignore from the
case all talk of marriage, ail pretenae of the pre-
sentation of a ring aa an eagagement token,
all thia suggestion ot the returu of the nne,
which never took place — why, then, gentlemen,
aa the plaintiff neroelf aAva, the only letter that
waa given by iha plaintiff under theae in.lunctiona
of secrecy aa to openin^c It until he waa out of her
preaence, was no letter inoloaing a nng. but it waa
tJte lata! letter of which I have told you, and which
will Deread by and by. And ao you coma down to
the preaeniaiioa of riie letter under thoae circum-
itaneoa, whiou occurred about the middle of tbe
ntoatb of March, amue two months after their ao-
guaintanca had comoteaced.

Well. Mr. Del Valle heaitated at tbe
>agg&atioa. af em ploying her aa governeaa. In the
flrat place, the two elder daughters, particularly
xequiring such inatmctioa aa ahe might be able
to give, were being educated in tbe
Conrent at Manbattanville, but the
term of the daugtitera at Manhattanviile would
soon expire ; tbe loaau of tbe Xweniy-eigbth street
house would axpire on the 28th ot May; it waa ne-
ceeaacy for him to aeek aone other house, and dn-
aoubtedly ahe got from ium hia intention of having
» bouse tor tne Summer iu the country. Well, after
the delivery of tbia letter she I'ollonred it ap wltb
constant rupetitions in tbo frequent visits that fol-
lowed, of tbe new assaults, inuignities, aud annoy-
ancea to which she waa subiected in xhe bouse of
. bee mother; and. flaaily, we come dowu to tbe cir-
cuuistanoea under which she left that house. Now,
her story ia that ahe waa outiceU away by Mt. Del
Vail* , from her aten-tatber'a bouse and. mduceu
to go to the Hotel Koyal, by bis suggestiun,
ander an aaauated name. What we expect to show,
genileman, is that— I think it was on tbe 2l8t of
April — uieotLDg bim in her usual manner, and luani-
festiiig great personal ai;itatioD, abe layited bim to
talte a trip to Centra^ Park, silent, trembiiug,
. vbether of a real I or a dramatic maul-
Heatation I will not ' undertake to say. On
the way to Central Park, aud tbere, she uo-
iutded (O him a nelf aud thrilling and iriKht-
ful trouble of a fresh occurrence, of tbe same ile-
acriptlon to wbiou I bave bintod, aa baviug taken
place just betore la her faiber'a hoaaebolu, on tbe
occasiua of ner returuing to the buU'«e, aud it Lad
Xeaulted in the imlncdiaCe necessity' of her qui) nut;
her ^fatbot'ii houae. Sbe said abe woald
take retugo than, on tbe iilat of April,
in tbe boose of a fnend. I told you
yesteruay, ueotlemeu, theae dates were of impor-
tance. You remember her goingjio the Hotel Koyal
waa OB Che 3dtu of Aunl; he was going tbere to se-
cure rooms Ob tbe 'iTth of April. Now. U appears
It waa in the houae ol Miaa Sydney she was taking
all her meals during that time, in compauy with a
ttitma ot the tamiiy, on Secouu Avenue, and ber
going to the Hotel iCoyal was wbolly u'nkuown to
Mr. Del Talle uutii it was accomplished; it waa
Wittioot (be leaat au^geation on hia pan. In tact,
Ito did not Know of lUe existence of snob a hotel
uniii he neaid from ber, by a meaaenger, tbat abe
waa there and had taken rooms tnnre, and asked
bim to come and see ber. That was on or shortly
alter the 38cb of Apiil, where abe seems to
have remained until, by reason of new persuasions
on hor part, wUh the asdent of ber motber,
to wbom be put the queatiun whether ahe would
consent tbat bur daugbcer ahould come to his house,
aa abe bad fainted, aa goreruesa, on tbe 9ii day of
June he look her to Pougbkeepaie, and inataliod
her, at 4W0 a month, aa housekeeper and governess.
Well, now, gentiefflen, I am not here to uufend the
wiadum and diacreeinuss of that stop on tbe part of
htir. Del Valla. Ho very soon found out what a mis-
take US had made. You have beard tbe timllinf;,
graptaio sagueaiions, the nariial d scrip tioa wbicb
the piaiuiitf haa given, of wbac she said occurred
au tba 6lh of Juae at PougDkeepsie, Now, Mr. Del
Valle ia uUerly ignorant of auy aaoh offenae having
taken plac^ocheu, or of ever having taken place.
But lortunately fur us, fortunately for tbe truth of
too oai>e, the piaintlit d.^ced tbe day, and wbea a
man ia to be caarged with a crime, the law haa very
lastly and bananely iasisted that the time and tbe
pla.>e thall oe fixed. 8he aaya tbat on the morning
of tho urh of Jane, under the clroamaiaaces wbicb
ahe bbc AATrated t.^ you, this carnal intercourse be-
tween t^oi, which la the - complaint is
described aa seduction of her ' by Mr. ; Del
Valle took place — but roa. can form an
which ahe doiicribes Is. Fortunately, we are able not
only to deny it altogether on tbe oath of Mr. Del
Valle, but. if I am rightly advised, we ahali proi-
dace witnesses, ina-atea of tbo family, who
will give tbe noishing blow to her abaolutely
Incredible story. Because it will appear tbat one
of them was nil or most of the time which she says
waa involved in the work of her destruction in bur
company, in her own room, engaged in oonveraa-
tlon, while the other was in the company of Mr.
Del ViUe. engaged as they were often engaeed In
their country home during that Summer, m rambles
out.<iide of tne house altogether. So tbat not only
is tbis plaintiff's accoont of these thrilling occur-
rences utterly impiKibabte and iBc'rediblennon their
Btatemeni; but, 1 think, .we will satisty vou that
we shall ahut out all possibility of toe occurrence
01 such faots as ahe has described, and tbat is tbe
only dav that she ia willing to fix upoo at all as toe
day ot aucb an ocour*@nce. Well, Mr. Del Valle did
find out very soon that he had made a mistake
in taking her into his employment, and bow
did be find it out! Well, one would think it would
be very apparent, taking a person of tbe aisposilion
which she manifested bere — taking ber at ber best
■upon the stand here, without the leaat experience
in such matters, and inataliing her at the head of
an estabiisbmeut like that — pretty boon he found
out what? Wby, he found out not only her inex-
perience, but bo found out what ahe baa conf^aaed
upon the atand' acta of impropriety on her part as
the head at an establisbmeuD like tbat, composed of
a miscellaneous assemblage of servants aud of
young children. What would you do, gentlemen. If
yen had taken into your house in the same
capacity — aa general supuriiiteudeat of the buuse-
hold and of tbe children — it yon found
her dressing and undresaiag^ with her door
opening upon the ball wide open as a habit as vou
passed. Xbat is her accouut of tbe matter, aud I
tbiuk it oouforms subaiauti<my to what fell under
the observation of Mr, Del Vaile. And then those
morning, twilighl excuraious alone upon horse-
back , tor a re^tpousible lemale bead of a doroeatio
household, going out at toe dawa of day and re-
turning wbeu she pleased on ber lonely and tree
ride over the country, dtbersi^aon her part which
it ia not my buainess to detail to you attracted toe
M'eution of Mr. Del Valle, and deoionairated to bim
what a mistake he bad made, and beiore toe monib
of Jane waa out he called her to account, remon-
atraied against those acta of iaipropriety, and
gave hor notice of immediate dismissal.
Well," what elsel Why then she appealed
to a woman's groat and formidable argumeuti on
Mr. pel Valle. She was dissolved in tears. She
struck before him those attitudes which she has ho
splendidly performed upoh tbe stauu ; ahe appealed
to him not to thrust her back into ber lather'a
house to be exposed again to tbe dangers from
whiiUl she had fled. Noi wisely, I thint, Mr. Del
Valle yielded to ber persuasions, upon her promise
,. of reformation and of better conduct, aud yet he
^determined to continue hor in his huasebold only
^until a convenient lOpportumiy for her discbarge
presented itself, and yielded for the present, as
many men in bis situation would do, to tbe urgent
and powerful persuasions with which ahe
beset him - ,not to throw her out into
the world, but still retain ber In his
empioyiuent. Well, so thioga wenc on.
Xhe elder daughter, in the latter part of June re-
turned to the bobae, affording a new reaaon why her
continued presence in the bouse with the exbibi*
tion which she had made was unsafe and Improper.
Xhese girla of twelve or fourteen — the elaer daugh-
teraofthe family, came tbere. Well, she did con-
tinue there, ahe prevailed upon Mr. Del Valle to re-
tain her in this houaekeepei'a situation, upon the
salary, and tn the meanume she waa visited by
members of bar family. Now.it is very evident
tnat close, intimate and conffJeutial relations ex-
isted between herseif and her sister and her
mother. You have heard the description of tbe
manifest happiness of this youog lady and the
joy of her household in having ber where sue waa
and aa abe waa, frum tbe letter of the aister Adele.
Well, now, tbat letter was written after Adeie's
visit, which we show was on the l^sh of
June, or nine days after tbe . destruccion
and ruin of the plaiaiiff ; so you will perceive tbat
if her ruin was accomplished, as she claims, and
she was in tbia labsomte depression and agony
whicb ahe claims over afterward, wbv, it is quite
impossible that her devoled slater could have prn-
nonncod her aa happy aa a queen, and congratu-
lated herself and her and all tne family upon tbe
Irieod whom Grod had manifestly raieed up for ber.
Xbat was followed by other visits of. the tamily,
and on the 24th of July they all started luff togetber
on a journey which had been contemplated to Ni-
agara Falls, Wasbington, Baltimore, land so ou.
Now, I understand from Mr. Del Valle ' that he ab-
solutely oeniea all suggestions, all imputstloas, of
what she has said occurred ; no such
tbing happened between thenr then or at
any other time, and (hey returned, reach
log Pougbkeepsle on the 2i of August
Mr. Del Valle bad seen many manifestatious of
impropriety in her oonduot ; be waa convinced in
bis heart that sha was not a person to be ret-ained
in the house aa a governess, net to be iatrusted
with tbe tuicidn of his children, and the close ner-
aonal intercourse between her and. hia daughters
was'^uspended, and be was lookins about in bis
haitlag, aasitailng way, for an opoortanity to effect
a sepai-ation Of her entirely Irom the family. He
then sec to work maJang iuquirjes as ti> her
previous history, and all ho faau beard confirmed
him in hia views chat tbe connection ^between her
and hia family ahould be dissolved ; and yet be
beaitated because of her entreaties, and because
also, I think, of a false apprehension on bis part —
an apprehension that a man ought not to hava— of
the danger resulting from summarily discbargiug
auch a woman aa ahe had been. Ann
in the latter part of {August he did
remove his family from her by taking
them to Saratoga, where they remained until she
was finally removed from bis house, or an til he
came from Saratoga finally reaslved to act upon
tha( resolution to discharge her. Well, in the
meantime little incidents occurred which shed light
upon the story she told upon the stand. Ton re-
member tbia frigbtful story of her father's threat
to shoot' ber in case she ever married, aud to shoot
ths man also. Nuw, I don't suppose there ever was
a fatber, or even a &lep-fatber, that took tbat view
of hia children's happiness. Xbis is her story,
however; all this ooncealmeDt of tbe alleged eu-
gagement of marriage — all tbis concealment down to
ihe raiadle of August — but in August, aa soon as he
did.findit out, he came in tl^e most loving and af-
feutionateimanuer.ready to form lilmaelf a pan of the
honseboid of Mr. Del Valle, coming aud making a
most delightful visit, when Mr. Del Valle and bis
daughter were both there ; and as soon aa Mr. Del
Valle bad gone to Saratoga, coiniog with bis wile
and making It theit temporary borne. And so, iten-
tleaaen, things went on, she and her family enjoying
Mr. Del Valle's house, bis horses, bis equipmeuts,
bis luxury — and be and his children at Saracej^a, un-
til he returned on the 6ta of September, when he
sammarily discharged ber.
WHAT FOLLOWED HEB DISCHAKGE.
Well, now, what tollowed? Well, you have all
that followed from the plaintiff's onn lips ; he sent
money while he was at Saratoga on the l^i, of Sep-
tember to pay outstanding bills, and, as I am in-
formed, on tbe 1st of August her salary was paid
her. At any rate she never ^intimated to
bim that there was anything left unpaid to
her. Well, on the 8th ot September, when
she sat down and wrote the letter which has been
read before you — 1 won't repeat it because it is
iresb in your recollection, and orobaDly we shall
have occasion to refer to it again— but tuai letter,
gentlemen, could not possibly nave been written by
a woman who had been seduced and destroyed and
upon the occaaion of her being summarily cast out
upon the world by the deteudaut. That is' not tbe
occaaion for a woman to invoke the blessiug and
reward from God himself noon tbe bead of -a man
for ail his kindness in the past to her because it
was impossible for earth to yield him suflicieut re-
ward tor it. Buf she wrote that letter ; that waa
the way she acted noon her diam.ssal. "Well, stride
out that expression from the letter, aod id is full ot
all the other expressions of wliich tbat was only
the culmination -to the same effect — aud really sue
could not tell wbat she aid meau by writing siicn a
letter. And so they separated. Mr. Del Valle con-
tinued in his PoBghkcepaio lamily until tbe early
part of October, aud she resting again m the bosOiu
of her ttttbet'a house, without uny comuiouication
in the meantime oetween them. She says that she
expected him to co»o and see uer, aod he promised
to come and see her ; but if you will recollect, lu the
first line of ber letter, written on her departure, she
expresses a doubt ot the probaoility of iheir meet-
ing again. 1 think Mr. Del Valle will satisty you
he never made any prouiiae; i thin K you will be
satisfied that during tbat tbii;,y days there was not
tue least commuuication or exuectatiun or ooca-
sion of communication between tbcia. Not to
euiargb npou these matters — without weary-
ing you iu advance of the evideuce
you have observed already, probably, that it was
rejiarded by tbis young lady, her sister, aud her
mother as a matter of very groat impsrtance for
them all, iu a pecuniary point of view, that ahe
should obtain, in the' first place, and contman after-
ward, and' should not lose, iu tine, tne luoraiive
aituaiiou wbicb she had obtaiaed. It Heems lo bavo
been the support of herself aud of uer tauiUv, too.
Her father, apparently, had lost all mt-aus of ob-
taiuing a liVeiiuood fur the support ot bi's tamily.
Pecuniary distress pressed upon them boforo ttio
month of October was out, ?nd on the 2d of October
we bad the first attempi/ at reopening a comiiiuui-
cation witn Mr. Del Vaile,.and wbat was it I Why,
it was a telegiaui from the uiocher to Mr. Del VaUs,
stating that sicknuas iu her household auu a des-
perate want dt means compellea her to usk him to
send them some money. Well, then he did not come
and did not send it; nor is tiiere any reason that I
kuow' of why he should send her money ; it was
not put in the lorm tnat tuo yount: lady on tbe
staiia bas.uudertakenlto put it — lor a dem^ud of that
hundred dollars which she doe^) not know whether
it was due or not — but aiinpiv to send hor aoma
money. No money being sent, it was toliowed by
a letter of the dauirbter; a letter which 1 submit to
you as giving the flnislang stroke lo the entire case
of tue plaintiff, lakeur iuco.inection wuh ber meiive

stand, lu the first place, ahe Siiya aha wrote it be;-

of tbe hundred dollars being due, or anything lett
unpaid, but it is the mother's demand, lepeated in
the same vague aud luuefiiiiie form, lor some money
lo help them oat of their uiificulties and their dis-
tress. And what if he did not give her the
money? " Mr. Del Valle don't make me your

examined by Mr. Choate, testified : I am a clerk In
the jewelry store of Mr. Meeker, No. 443 Sixth

years ; I was in his employ in tbe month of Janua-
ry, 1875, and in my capacity of clerk waited upon
the customers. ^

iato the store and asked to look at some riiTgs ;
they looked at this ring, Tring shown witness,] and
some diamond rings ; they conversed, but in a very
low tone ; the lady had not much to say, and Mr.
Del Valle spoke in broken English, mixed with
some other language ; tbia being an odd ring, and
tne only ring, and the only one of the same atyle'In
the store, tbeyjseleoted it and left it to be altered ;
I told them that tboy could have it in two or three
days.
Q. — What alteration was required ? A. — Made

rings with siugle stones.

one in the sales-book of the house.
Q.— Look at this book and see if it is the book 1

Q. — Wbat was it writtenjon 1 A.— It was written
on a card, 1 believe.
Q. — Do you remember whether the card was In-
closed in an envelope ? A To the best of my
recollection I gave her an envelope; she wrote
aoiu'bthing upon the card, put it In the envelope, and
banded it to me, and asked it I would not give it to
the gentleman ; I could not recognize the card;
it wa& a white card; she tuen left with tba ring;
I neyer saw ber again until I saw her during this
trial ; I saw Mr. Del Valle again ; he called three or
four days after, and I handed bins an envelope, and
told him the lady bad taken the ring; he put tbe
note in bis pocket and walked out.

^o. Sir.

dow, and when he called I gave it to htm ; there

following morning I saw it aud took #c away; there
waa •: man named Scbimpff employed in the house
at the time.
Od cross-examination by Mr. Beach, the witness
said: We had other amethyst rings m the store,
but this was tbe only ring we had of this style,
with a raised bead ; I was three yeass in the estab-
iiobment at the time as salesman, except about
three months; there was a watch-maker in the es-
tablishment at thia time, and I have consulted him
in regard to this matter a tew days ago ; I could
not say whether or not Mr. Walter was present,
but to the beat of my kllef be was ; 1 don't think I
have said anything to him on the subject.
Q. — Did you keep any other book except this J
A.— Only the book that Mr. — w keeps ror bis ex-
pauses, than is a JtVe kept no book showing the
amount or characlie of the sales ; I saw Mr. Del
Valle m the store before the 15th of January; it
may have been six or eight months befote this; he
was in the habit of trading m the atore; be bought
ear-rings there, but I bave no recollection of the
date of thepnrehasa; he bought two pair, I think ;
that ia mv recollection ; bfi made these purchases, I
think, in 1874.
Q. — How far does thia book inn 1 A.— It runs
from January, 1870, to lb76.
Q. — Wbat other article of jewelry did you sell to
Mr. Del Valle prior to Janiiarv, 1875 ? A.— Mr.
Meeker sold him a diamond ring with an emerald
in the centre ; I think tbat was in 1874 ; upon this
occasion of the sale of tbe ring on the 15 rb ot Janu-
ary, I don't think there was any ocber person came
into tbe store except Mr. Meexer; persons, how-
ever, may have come in, and it may have escaped
my memory ; I have uo otber memorandum of the
sale of this ring except what appears upon tbis book ;
to tbe best of my reooUection it was between 10 and
II o'clock when Mr. Del Valle and Miss Martinez
came in ; I could not call the conversation of Mr.
Del Valle English ; it was broken English witn a
mixture of aoine otber language; tbe next time he
came, aa far as I remember, he came alone ; when
he entered I handed him the note, and said the
lady took the ring.
Q.— Did you recently address a sister of the plain-
tifton Sixth avenue ? fXo Miss Adoie,] Will vou
rise. Miss i The lady rose and the witness an-
swered—"I did not."
Q.- Did you address that lady on Eighth avonne
throe weeks ago? A. — 1 did not.

about three weeks ago, or about that time J A.~
No. Sir.
' Q.— And you were not on Eighth avenue making
inquiries about a lady between Twenty-second and
Twenty-ninth streets? A. — No, Sir; Mr. DelValle aad
another gentleman called at mv store and directed my
attention to this case ; that was'abont three or four
weeks ago ; I don't kuow who the otber gentleman
was, but I think! had seen him with Mr. Del
Valle before ; he is in court now, sitting near tbe
delendani; I never aaw Miss Adele except in
court; I don't kuow these ladies; I don t know
wUero they live, and knew nothing of them until
I read about this case in the papers.
MISS MARTINEZ'S CORRESPONDENCE.
Eobert Luis, examined by Mr. Choate, testified :
I live in No. 625 Ninth avenue, and have seen the
plaintiff's sister before.
Q. — When, and under what ciicumatances7
Mr. Beach oltjected to the qaestion but it was
admitted, aad the witness replied: About a year
ago, 1 tbiok, or more; she came to our store Inquir-
ing for letters for her sister; thej t' j-< directed to
Miss C. Nelson, the lady who is now my wile, for
Miss Howell; 1 saw the plaintiff. Miss Martinez,
at the store, askiug for letters, tour or five
times, but hor little sister called usually in the
morning; tbis lady [the ptaintiffj came in one day
and said she missed two important letters whioh
contained mouoy, and after tbat no letters were ad-
dressed there to Miss Howell ; some time afterward
she came and_.aeked tor my wife, but I told her she
was down tuWn on business ; that was the last time
I saw her until I eaiae here.
Ou cross examination by Mr. Beach the witness
described himself as a merchant, and stated that'
one correspondent of " Miss Howell " wrote two or
three times a week ; tbe writing was tbat of a gen-
tleman, anJ the envelope bore tbe letters F. fl.;
when the plaintiff' asked tbat the letters should be
addressed to the store of the witness she aaid that
she did not want them addresseu to her own home,
for fear they should be tampered with by the
servant giri: I always knew her by the name of
Miss Howell.
i'aunie i^rank testified in reply to M[r. Choate : I
reside in bevBUth street and First avenue; in 1873
I kept a fancy store in Eirat avenue; I saw tue
plaintiff in the store in the early part of the year
1875 ; she came in there to buy fancy goods ; I re-
luumber ou one occasion when she spoke of letters
being directed to her there ; that was in tbe Spring,
I think during the manth of May; the reason she
gave tor having letters aeiit there was that she did
not want theoi to be lost ; thai, she was a teacher
of luuaic and was away troiu home a great deal;
she gave me her name ou a piece ot paper as Miss
Heuriques, and the letters were to be directed to
the care of mv busoaid, John 0. Krank; she
received letters through us during the whole
Summer and Winter ; ahe wrote on a piece ot i^a-
per that the letters would be addressed to '' Miss
Howard, care of John C. Krank;" sometimes two
or three letters a woelt would bo received addressed
iu that way; she generally sent ber little sister for
them, but sousetimes she came herse f ; on two
occaaioiis, a young man called iu the eveuines and
left leiiei's for her ; the first time ahe came abe
told me her name was Henrrques, but the lettera
Here addressed to Miss Howard.
TESTIMONY OF MICllIiL METER.
Michel Meyer ttsiifisd iu reply to Mr. Choate:
I was employed as a waiter al Solaris' restaurant, in
TJuiversity place, Irooi June, 1874, until September,
ls76 ; I know the parties to the present
proceeding, and saw them in the restaurant
abcut twenty times im January aud ^eb-
ruarr, 1875; J cant fix the specific time of
any visit, hut they were always in tne daytime and
were in a privatrt room; I often saw a little book
with them and thia book now handed mc — Uuide to
Conversation— IB, I think, tbo one they bad ; toey
lett IE after theaa on one ocoosion, and the lady
subsequently oalleH for it and I returned It to her ;
the lauy always spoke in French to me; the gentle-
man did not spsaik English, and what language he
did speak I don't know.
4..XlLan.aw'nr t^ Mr. KAanb tha vitneu atatad that
there was no record kept of the names of the yisi-
tors at the restaurant, and he never romembored
seeirg tbe sister of the plaintiff there; he had
known tbe defendant previous to the time when he
first saw him in the restaurant with the plaintiff;
he was in the habit of going there with other ladies,
and these ladies spoke English j one of them came
with him three or four times, and the other came
with him once or twice; the plaintiff and defendant
always eame to tbe restaurant betwsen twelve and
five o'cioek in the day.
Mr. Louis Philip Mantela was exami^d by Mr.
Choate, but tbe bearlug of his res^imonj^ was sim-
ply to show that be was a professor of languages in
the New-York Trniveralty and the Charlier Insti-
tute, and the defendant took lessons in English
from bio ; he commenced his lessons in October,
1874; did not improve rapidlv.towing to the diffi-
culty of acquiring^ the langunge, and could not
epeaS English in. January, 1875. His sentences
were broken and connecting words were always
omitted.
THE DEFENDANT SWOKN.
Jnan Del Valle, the defendant, was then called
and sworn. When the first question was put to
him it was ascertained that he could not speak Eng-
lish with any degree of ease, aud wWle there were
many among the audience who could speak Spanish
and interpret his testimony, their employment was
objected to by Mr. Beach on the ground that they
were friends of the defendant. The objection was
sustained, and the court was unwillingly obliged to
postpone the trial nntil this morning.
Before the adjoarnnyent Mr. Brown, of counsel
for the plaintiff; reqnestod the court to call the
name ol James Doo ey. a witness who bad been
summoned to attend. Upon his failing to respond

At about 2 o'clock yesterday morning, while
Patroamau O'Shea. of the Eighth' Precinct, was on
duty in Greene street, near Houston, bis attention
was attracted to a drunken roan on the oppositis

and ordered him to cease his noise and go» home.
The man answered by shonting still louder and de-
fying tbe officer to arrest him. O'Shea crossed the

was loctnd in his posseasion. He was committed to

THE BOARD OF FIRE UNDERWRITERS.
The North British and Mercantile Fire In-
surance Company has withdrawn from the National
Board of Fire Underwriters. The agents of the
company declined to state to a Times reporter the
grounds for this action. It is understood by in-
surance men, however, tbat the chief cause was
dissatisfaction at the faithlessness on the part of
many of tbe companies composing the board in not
adhering to tbe rates of insurance agreed upon.
The result of this alleged faithlessness has been to
injure the business of the companies which have
adhered firmly to tbe established schedule. The
North British and Mercantile baa not tiken the
lead in the matter of withdrawal, and it ia stated
that others will take place. It Is feared tbat in a
short time tbere will b» very few of tbe original
members -of the Natioftal Board of Fire Under-
writers remaining. The possibility of a thorough
breaking np of tbe board is also contemplated.
THE AMERICAN PATRIOTS EXPELLED FROM
MANHATTAN ISLAND — THEIR D£F1£A1'
AT FORT WASHINGTON.
The Anaerican patriot forces were expelled
from Manhattan Island on the 16in ot November,
1776, and for seven years subseauently the City of
New York was in the uudisputed possession of the
Brilish troops. Tbe final struggle on this island,
during the Bavolutionary War, was for tbe
possession of the fort on Mount Washing-
ton, and tbe works surrounding it.
Fort Wasbington, whioh was built by Gen. Put-
nam, was merely an earthwork having five sides,
and was uaproyided with casemates and its out-
posts were very weak. After the retreat from this
City, while the American Army was in the north-
em part of tbe island, Washington had three, paral-
lel lines of defenses within gan-shot range of each
other, built on the territory that now lies bet.ween
One Hundred and Ferty-fitth and One Hundred and
Sixtieth .streets. These lines added somewhat to
tbe strength of tbe position, whose centre was on
thb summit of Mount Washington, as did also a re-
doubt on what was called Laurel Hill, a fort named
Independence, on a bill just to the north
of Spuy ten Duy vil Creek, and some hastily-erected
works on- ihe upland overlooking Tubby Hook.
When the patriots moved into Westchester County
the British invested Ton Washington, except on
the Hudson river side. There a line of obstructions
running to the base of the Palisades on the Jersey
side for some time preventet^ the passage
of the British war vessels. At 1 ast, however, these
impediments were overcome, and three vessels
passed up beyond Souyten Duyvil. Washington,
who had for some time lavored the abandonnient of
the position, but had been restrained from oraering
its evacuation by an order from Congress that it
should be held as long as possible, now oommaudt^d
Gen. Greene to withdraw tbe garrison and stores
Irom Fort Wasbington.
He desired them to be sent to him m New-Jer-
sey, wnither be was then preparing to transport
his army trom the heigiits ot North Castle. Greene,
however, was convinced that the position could
and should be held. So he overlooKad Washing-
ton's order, and sent reinforcements across the
river from Fort Lee. '.On the night of
Nov. 14 thirty flat-boats crowded with
soldiers passed up between Forts Washington and
£ee. and weie not seen by tbe Americans. They
were hidden in Spuyten Duyvil. The next day
Gen. Howe called upon Col. Magaw, the American
commander, to surrender, and threatened if be did
not that when the fort was taken its ganison
should be slaugntered. The damaad ,waa rejected
and the threat scorned. At noon on Nov.
16, the attack on the fort was be-
gun. A force of four thousand five
hundred Hessians, under Geus. Xnyphausen aud
Rail, crossed the Spuyten Dyvil and b^gan to
ascend the hill to where the Americaus, under Cols.
Bawlings and Williams, wore behind some irai
workij made of tree-truuks. Four cannon and sev-
eral hundred rifles aud muskets kept up a
steady fire upou theiu, but still, led by
their officers, they bravely moved onward,
though Slowly, over the uneven groui^d. While
this contest was going on Lord Cornwall's, at the
head of a brigade of British soldiers, crossed the
Harlem River at King's Bridge under a heavy fire,
aad stormed the redoubt ou Laurel Hill. After a
fierce fight, in which Baxter, their commander, was
killed whila encouraging them, tbe Americans were .
driven back to tbe cenral position at Fore Wash-
ington. During the same time the Americans under
Cadwallader ' Lambert engaged the British under
Percy, at the south, near Harlem Plains. Ho
fought gallantly, but was coapellad to retire to
Fort Washington to prevent beiug flanked and
surrounded, as a British force crossed tbe Harlem
about where One JJIlndred and Fifty-fllth street
now is, aud, ascending'^. the steep bank, attacked
him on tbe left. The moat obstinate contest was
that at the north. Tbere the Hessians, preceded
by Kuyphausen aud Kali, who acted like
heroes, advanced to the works, where a
baod-to-band fight took place. The Hes-
sians greatly outnumhered tbe patriots, ao the
latter retired slowly to the fort. 'Their assailants
followed them closely, and sent a demand lor sur-
render to Col. Magaw. The American command-
er, alter a truce of half au hour, surrendered his
force of 2,600 men on condition that they should re-
tain their baggage, and the officers tbeir swords.
The loss of the patriots in killed and wounded was
about one hundred and fifty, tbat of the British aud
Hessians was about one tbou.saud. Washington
viewed the battle trom Fort Lee, and it is a great
proof of his solf-commacd that thougb be shed tears
over the sacriflc? of bis meu, he did not reproach
Gen. Greene, whose obsiiuacy and bad judgmuul
were tbe causes ot the iiisasier.
BOARD OF OOUNTF OA-NVASSERS.
The Board of County Canvassers reassembled
yesterday aod counted tue returns, so far as they
were complete, from the first five Assembly dis-
tricts. They do not substantially difler from those
which were published immediately after the elec-
tion. While the session was in progress, Mr.
Wolfe, a lawyer, who has charge of the suit bronght
hy the rival City Fathers who have been called
after bis namf>, and who claim that they were legal-
ly elected, appeared before the board aud requested
that certain returns, which he was prepared to
present, lor candidates foi Aldermen in the Fourth
Assembly District should bs canvassed. Tbe
Chairman, Mr. Purroy, decided, however, tbat Mr.
Wolfe had no right to address the beard, and that
If he had any papers to present ho should do so
through one of the mesabers. Mr. Wolfe then re-
tired.

oommon in the Sourhern cities and in South
America, where the weather always renders nding
on tbe rpnf pleasant. The new car is to b^ followed

Ti Aa People of tU United States :
. The undersigned are informed that tele-
' grans are bein£^ sent North to-night from this
State, based upon the tables of reported vaa-
jontaea in th* Floridiav, extra of this attemoon,
elaiauBc that Tilden and Hemdncks have car-
ried Florida by 637 m^ority. Aa examination
of these tables shows that in the Coonty of
Alachua alone, the actual Bepuhlioan majority
of 717. as shown by the official canvass now on
ffle, is ^reduaed to 498 by leaving out cer-
tain pifboinot votes on false pretenses of
fraud ; kad that in a variety ef othsi^ ways the
actual dxures have beem ohaneed, so aa to
give 101 apparent Tilden minority. The
mdirajgned are satisfied, from a care-
ful examination in detail of the re-
turns already received, that, aUowins
Oie Democrats all the majorities now claimed
in the counties kept back by them, the returns
from the whole State will show a majority
Csr Hayes and Wheeler. This maiority
ean be largely increased upon, ample
^oof of Democratic frauds and intimi-
dation. The Bepnblicans of Florida are not de-
votins themselves to manufacturing fublio
opinion at the r North, but, eonvinced
that the State has been carried for
Hayes and Wheeler, they await with perfect
sonfidenoe the result of a fair and impartial
Mnvass, which they are sure will carry full
sonviction to the people of the country.

Tallahassee, Nov. 16. — No returns have
been rec^ved here to-day which chaaee the re-
sult in Florida as already reported. The Be-
publicans are more than ever assured they have
sarried the State, and that this, fact will ap-
pear as soon aa the Board of CanTassers
■eets. As returns come in the Democrats see
that they are lighting against odds which it
will be impossible to overcome, and by the
kdvice of Messrs. Tilden and Hewitt they are
trying to bolster up their caose by issuing aa ad-
ftresB to the country. To-nigbt they sent out a
togh-sounding document to their fell\>w-country-
men, in which they of course declare that they
bare earned this State. They give a long list
of counties and figures to support this claim,
but very few of them are worthy of credit.
Indeed, in several cases they deliberately
falsify returns in order to make a ma-
jority for Tilden. The Republicans, headed by
Mr. W. E. Chandler, and Hon. Mr. Thom-
bargfa, of Teimessee, also issued the short ad-
iress already ijorwardod. It gives an exact
Mscoimt of the situation here, and can be relied
zpon. as correct in ' every particular. It now
leeina probable tb^ State Canvassers will com-
nence their labors early next week.

JtfEW-Oi;LEAN.s, Nov, 16. — Nothing of im-
portance has occurred to-day. The Returning
rHhoers of election met in executive session and
'adjourned to Saturday. The vacancy on the
toard is not yet filled. No election returns
ivere touched, but it so hapoened that the first
■lietter opened by. the . Returning Officers was a
threatening one, postmarked this date, and ad-
dressed t* J, MadisoD Wells, of the board. The
i«tter reads as ioilows :
SiB: Besoived, Ibat wo take upon oargeive*

pear before the hordes of the despot Grant can pro-
tect you- Ton are warned 1 Now beware !
TTNITED BBOTHEEHOOD OF LOTJISIAlirA.
The attitude of the visiting sentlemon of
both parties is now as indicated in the Demo-
cratic letter and the Republican reply. Gov.
Cnrtin and others this evening are drafting
still another letter, to appear to-mor-
row. The Returning Board, under solemn
oaths to deal fairly, will commence work at
the proper time. There is scarcely a doubt ex-
pressed in any quarter that they will conduct
the canvass in any but a perfectly just
way, and in accordance with law. Those
who believe in law and justice will be satisfied.
It is probable that gentlemen of both parties
will be invited to witness the work of the Re-
turning Officers, and the Democrats will have
a representation on the board by one or more
members.

Kew-Okleans, Nov. 16.— Ex-Gov. J. Madison
Wells, Gen. Thomas C. Anderson. G. Casanave, and
'Iionis M. Ji.enDer to-day took the oath of office,
filed the necessary papers with the Secretary of
State, and went into eseontire session In
the room assigned them in the State-
house; Nothing has tngiapired regarding their
proceedings. Gov. Eellogg stated this afternoon
that the vacancy on the board bad not vet been
filled. The board adjourned to meet on Saturday at
noon. Gov. Wells in answer' to an inquiry
whether or net reporters and snectators wonid
be admitted, said it was his wish— and
he evidently expressed the sentiment of all
the neDibers — tbat the boara staoula ait with closed
doors dnrin£ the canvassing and compllms of the
return^ except when information was wanted con-
cerning a particular ipoll or matter connected
witb tbe election, or when some paint
was , to be argued before the board. He
said that neither the Gdvemor nor any
State officer, if bis wish was regarded, would have
free aooess to the room Onring the sessions of the
board. If the hoard wanted legal advice, be said,
they would call on tbe Attornev General, but at no
other time would tbat officer be admitted. Both
Mr. Wells and Mr. Anderson said that the board
was an entirely independent body, and would not
be coDtrollad io its action in any way either by ex-
ecutive or by other parties.
The State Bemocratic Committee have made ap-
pboation for representation on tbe iietnrning Board,
but no action on the subject has been taken. Tbey
also requested tbat a sub-committee should be al- ■
lowed to attend tbe sittings of tbat board, and, in
^ply, Grov. Wells stated that in ail cases of con-
tested polls, from any cause, theysbould be notified,
and that the board would hear tbe argument of both
sides. The action of the beard in adjourning until
Saturday gives rise to speenlation on the cause of
delay. Every one seems to be waiting for definite
news from South Carolina and Florida. THe
weather is rainy and cool. Tbe city is quiet.

New-Orleans, Nov. 16. — The followiag
is the reply of Republicans to the communi-
cation from the Democrats inviting a oonler-
enee:
New-Oblbans, Nov. 16, 1876.
Qbstlsmes : ITie majority of the under-
signed to whom your note of the 14th inat. was
addressed only arrived in this city yestei day
evening. We have, therefore, beon unable to
replv until this morning, and can only regret
that your communication should have been
given to the press immediately upon its delivery
and without the possibility ot an answer ac-
companying it.
You remark that you are informed that we
came at the request of tbe President to see tbat
the Board of Canvassers make a fair count of
the votes actually oast, and ask that we meet
and confer in order that such influence aa
we possess may be exerted on behalf of such a
canvass of the votes actually cast as, by its
fairness and impartiality shall command the
respect and'aequiescence of the American peo-
ple of all parties. We join heartily with you
in counsels of ueace, and in the expression of
an earnest desire tor a perfectly honest aud^
just declaration of the results ot the recent
election in Louisiana, by its lawiully
constituted authorities — and we may add
tbat We know of no reason to doubt that
such a declaration will be made — but we do not
see th^ propriety or utility of a conference on
the basis and subjeet to the limitations you
propose, for we have no such duty imposed
upon us ; and, as suggested by the
clause of your note first quoted, wo
are at most requested to be witnesses
of what 4jjiall oceur m the canvass of the votes
without power or legal influence over the re-
sult, or over the means by which, under the
laws of Liouisiana, the result is to be deter-
mined. We cannot doubt that in this you,
upon reflection, will concur with us. We are
here as private citizens, with no, official powers ;
we therefere cannot supersede or modify any
laws of that State, nor have we any right to
control or influence any of its officers as to
the manner in which they srall perform min-
isterial or judicial duties imposed upon them
by its laws ; a«d should we, being strangers
and without official functions, attempt this, we
should be coademned by the people of every
State in the Union for an improper interference
with local administration.
The following extract from the laws of
Louisiana shows tbat the Canvassing Board is
exiwessly required in certain cases to exercise
judioial as well as ministerial fuiictions :
Section 3. Tbat in ancb canvass and compilation
the RetarBln$; Officers shall observe the following
order: They shall compile first, the statements
from all^olls or voting places at whicb there
shail have been a fair, tree, and peacable
registration and election. Whenever irom
any poll or voting place there shall be
received the statement of any Supervisor of
Begistration or CommlBlioner of Election in form,
as required by section 26 of this act, on the affi-
davit of three or more citizens, of any riot, tumult,
acta of violence, intimidacion, armea disturbance,
briberv, or corrupt influence which pierented or
tended tp prevent a fair, free, and neaoeablc vote of
all qualified electors entitled to vote at such polls
or voting place ; such Returning Officers shall not
canvass, count, or compile the statements trom-
such poll or voting place until the statements from
all other polls or voting places shall have been can-
vassed and compiled. The Beturntng Officers
shall then proceed to Investigate the state-
ments of riot, tumult, acts of violnnce, la-
ta act in her behalf^ and teach her rob- timidatlon, armed disturbance, bribery, or eorrupt
flmrs and despotlen rach »«leii|9B as the Ijufiaeaoes at aaysnohpoil or voting place, and if
sever saw.
Wa
fsoiL. <'dialuiaQat(jL^romth««viaAB<ie of such itatoment thA^ahallbe
convinced tbat such riot., tumult, acts of violence,
intimidation, armed disturbance, bribery, or corrupt
influences did not materially interfere with tbe
puritv and freedom of the election at such poll or
voting place, or did not prevent a sufficient number
of qoalifled voters thereat from registering or
voting to materially obange tbe result of thp elec-
tion— then, and not otherwise, said Returning Officers
shall canvass and compile the vote of such poll or
voting place w>tb those previously canvassed and
compiled ; but if the said Betumlng Officers shall
not be fuUy satisfied thereof, it shall be their
duty to examine further testimony in regard there-
to, and to this end they shall have power to send
for persons and papers. It; after such examination,
the said Beturnlng Officers Shall be convinced that
■aid riot, tumult, acts of violence, intimida-
tion, armed disturbance, bribery, or corrapt
mfiaenoes did materially" interfere with the
purity and freedom of the election at such poll or
voting place, or did prevent a sufficient number of
the qaallfied electors thereat from registering and
voting to materially change the result of the
election, then said Betuming Officers shall not can-
vass or compile the statement of the votes of such
poll or votingjplaoe, bat shall exclude it from their
rotoms, provided tbat any person interested in
said election by reason of being a candidate for
office shall be allowed>a hearing before said Betum-
ing Officers upon making application within the
time allowed for the forwarding of tbe returns of
said election.
Hence, if there are any facts requiring the
judgment of the board upon the validity of
any election or returns as affected by such
frauds or violence, it would be a manifest in-
terferei^oe with State rights and local self-gov-
ernment tor persons like ourselves, without
official rights to attempt to influence or con-
trol its judioial action. Had a corresponding
board, in the State of New- York, in 1868, been
authorized to nass upon the fraudulent return
of votes of the City of New-York, and
a delegation of citizens of Louisiana,
however respectable, attempted to influence its
judicial action upon the facts presented to it
under the laws of that State, such, attempt
would have been universally condemned. If
tbe duties of the Canvassing Board of Louisi-
ana were merely ministerial or clerical, as in
the case of any officer charged by the law with
the duty- of verifying and declaring the result
of any election or investigation, with no discre-
tion, as where the President of the Senate
counts and declares the votes of the Electors
of the several States in the election of Presi-
dent and Vice President under the Constitu-
tion of the United States, a different ease
would be presented.
It is in our judgment vital to the preserva-
tion of constitutional liberty that the habit of
obedience to the forms of law should be sedu-
lously inculcated and cultivated, and th«t the
resort to extra-constitutional modes of redress
for even actual grievances should be avoided
and condemned as revolutionary, disorganizing,
and tending to disorder and anarchy. To re-
duce the whole question, theretoro, to the mere
clerical duty of counting the votes actually
cast, as proposed by you, in distinc-
tion from votes legally cast and re^
turned, irrespective ot the question wheth-
er f^hey are fraudulently or violently
oast, or otherwise vitiated, involves a nuUiflca-
of the provisions of the laws of Louisiana,
which have already been adjudicated as valid
by the Supreme Court, and would be wholly
unjustifiable hereasjrellasinany other State of
the Union which had provided laws to protect
the rights of voters and the^ purity of the
ballot. We cannot, therefore, concur in your
proposition for a conference on that basis.

COURT ON THE POWERS OF THK
BOARD-OP CANVASSERS — THE REAL OB-
JECT OF THE PROCEEDINGS — DEMO-
CRATS DESPONDENT AND ANXIOUS.
Special IHapatch to ttie JSTew-York Timet,
C0LU.\ITIA, Nov. 16.— The official returns
by counties cannot be given until the board
commences to canvass. The Secretary of State
refuses access te them. The assertion that the
Hayes' electors have at least one thousand
majority on the face of the returns is denied
by no one here.
The Supreme Court to-day assembled at 12:30
to hear the return of the Board of Canvassers
to the writ to show cause why they should not
be restrained from hearing contests and pro-
tests, and bo confined to the simple minis-
terial auty of collating figures and declaring
the result of the count, as returned by
the County Boards ot Election. On the part
of the board D. T. Corbin, Esq., asked the
court to grant an order permitting the board,
pending the main question, to proceed
to do mmisterial acts connected with
the count,, and to proceed unrestrained
to count the returns for Presidential Electors.
This was argued by Gen. It. B. Elliott and Mr.
Corbin for the Board, and resisted by Gen.
Conner and L. P. Youmans for the Democrats.
The order was granted, but subsequently
amended, on the motion of the Demo-
cratic counsel, to read "shall" proceed
in a ministerial capacity instead of
"may" as is the original order,
Avhereupon it was withdrawn. The argument
then proceeded upon the merits of tbe whole
question as to the powers and duties of tha
board. At 9 o'clock this evening the court ad-
journed until to-morrow at 11 A. M.
The Bepublicans here are very anxious to
settle the question as to the Electors in order
to relieve the anxiety of the country. Every
effort in tbat direction made by both Northern
Bepublicans and local leadets has b^n resisted
by the Democratic managers. They have re-
ceived discouraging dispatches to-day from
Florida and L*ui^iuaA. a>u) thev do not wish
^n- A'
'■t*
.A.^- M. *~- fL-^
South Carolina to be taken from their list of
daubtful States.
It is worthy of note tbat the Board of Can-
vassers, as at present constituted, have exer-
cised all the -powers and performed all the
duties now sought to be prohibited ever since
1868. They have after every election heard
contests as to the election of members of the
Legislature and county officers. Their powers
in regard to contests on county offices have
been recognized by the Supreme Court in two
decisions, and their action has been declared
to be final, and not subject to review by the
courts or the Legislature, by a decision in the
Barnwell-Blackville case. In fact, no one has
ever questioned before the revisory powers of
the board. It is dona now to make effective
the bold frauds and open violences of the Eifle
Club campaign.
THE CHARLESTON RIOT INQDE8T.
Charleston. Nov. 16.— The inquest upon
the body of Mr. E. H. "Walter, killed during
the riot on the 8t4i inst, was continued to-
day. Plvo additional witnesses were examined, but
still no proof has been adduoea which poiuts to
the identity of tbe murderer. The hearing of the
case will be continued to-morrow.
DEMOCRATIC Vaporing.
WILD SCHEMES OF THE DEMOCRATIC LEAD-
ERS AT •WASHINGTON — THE TWENTY-
SECOND RULS — THE DEMOCRATIC PAR-
TY'S ob8tructive:<ess — MR. Blaine's
POSITION AS a senator.
Sveciai Dispatch to the New- York Tlmea.
^ Washington, Nov. 16.— It ig now almost
universally conceded among the Democrats
about Washington that Gov. Hayes will have
the necessary electoral votes returned to give
him a majority of one. This admission is the
key for terrible denunciations of what tbey
are pleased to call frauds. And they also talk
of the affair being transferred to Congress,
where justice is to be seeured thorn by. throw-
ing out enough of the Eepublican States to
elect Tilden. The question of the powers of
Congress is thus raised, and both parties are
making careful examination of the laws and
the Constitution. Thus has beon the feature of
the day's discussion.
The twenty-second joint rule is claimed by
the Democrats to be still in force, because the
present House agreed to the joint rules, and
the Senate being a continuous body, the rules,
including this one, stand till specially set
aside. On this technicality they think the
House wHl be able to throw out the vote of
Louisiana orFlorida. But this point is settled
by , being raised* too soon, for if the
twenty-second joint rule is still in force,
there is plenty of time for the Senate to
formally abrogate it. The Democrats,
including some members of Congress, claim
that under the Constitution the House has a
right to act without any other rule, and they
talk about the counting of the vote as though
they had the sole power. All this is mere
vapor, as all their lawyers know. The only
possible course of mischief for the House to
pursue under the existing law is to refuse to
attend when the votes are counted, and this
they threaten. The result of such aotiisn is m
great doubt. The Democrats would propose
that tbe House elect a President, but
just how they could get him inaugurated
without a revolution does not appear. They
hold that the vacancy is not such a one as the
law provides shall be filled by the President of
the Senate. Some prominent Bepublicans hold
this view, and say that clearly President Grant
would hold over till a new election and the
qualification of his successor. Sueh are some
of the speculations regarding the future. There
are, no doubt, many „other plans sug-
gested by the Demoor»y', for they fix
their hopes on the action of the
House. One point appears very simple and
clear: Not any one of the actions which are
talked of to defeat the inauguration of Gov.
Hayes, if he is returned eleeted, is within the
Constitution and laws. The present trouble is
the fault of the Democratic Party in Congress.
They cannot throw off the responsibility.
During four years the danger has been pointed
out, and attempts have been frequently made
to provide against it. The Democrats are on
record as delaying and obstructing, and finally
defeating altogether, a law which would have
provided a fair method for settlinjf the ques-
tions at issue.
The person who suggested that there was
great anxiety to make Mr. Blaine President of
the Senate, so that in case of trouble he could
be President after the 4th of March, happened
not to remember that Mr. Blame's .present
term expires on the 4th of March, and that he
is not yet elected to the next term, and that he
would not, if made President of the Senate this
Winter, hold over into the next Congress, by
reason of the expiration of his term with this
Congress. Mr. Ferry is in the same situation,
and, after the counting of the vote, will be
likely to resign as President, so that one ot the
Senators not retiring hext March may bo
eleeted. Otherwise, there will be an interreg-
num in the office.
TRE VOTE OF CALIF9RNIA.
AN EMPHATIC DENIAL THAT GOV. IRWIN
' WOULD REFUSE TO CERTIFY THE ELEC-
TORAL RETURNS.
San Francisco, Nov. 16. — Gov. Irwin puh-
licly and speoifically denies that he ever sent or
authorized to he sent to Washington any telegram
declaring that he would not certify the electoral
returns in this State because he had discovered
frauds that would negative the Republican ma',
jority. The Governor declares that be had no
knowledge of such a dispatch until he saw it in the
San Francisco Evening Bulletin, credited to the
Chicago limes.
official RETURNS ON CONGRESSMEN.
San Fkancisco, Nov. 16.— Official returns
from all counties of the Fourtb Congressional Dis-
trict, except Mono, which is estimated, give
Pacheoo (Kapublican) a majority of 43. It Is be-
lieved that the Mono returns will not cbange the
result. The returns from the Third District are
still incomplete. Luttrell is elected by a majority
ot about 200.
OFFICIAL BBTUIiNS FROM KENTUCKY.
Louisville, Nov. 16. — Official returns from
101 coontiea in Kentucky give Tilden 60,100 major-
ity. Sixteen counties are yet to be heard from, but
tbey will not materially change these flguros. Til-
den's majority shows an increase of sixty
per cent. over the Democratic vote of
last year. Congressional results are reoort-
ed as follows ; Pir.^t District, Boorif. lioni.,
10,944; Toruer, Ind.. 8,154; Houston, Kep.. 5,221.

AKOTHEB ELECTOR ixV TROVBLE.
Hautfoed, Nov. 16. — It has been diacoverod
that on some of the Dt'mocratio ballots oast in this
State tb» name of Charles B. IngsrsoU, ono of the
Electors, was printed "IngesoU." In one tcita
nearly all the ballots oast were at this desoription.
How exienslvsly tbey were used is not Icuown. Tho

ANOTSEB CONTESTED SEAT.
EVIDENCE OF FBAUD AND INTIMIDATION
IN THE SIXTH CONGRESSIONAL DIS-
TRICT OP MARYLAND — ^BALLOT-BOXT^
BTUEFING BY THE DEMOCRATIC JUDGES
OP ELECTION.
Special DUpateh to the Neie-Tork Ttmea.
Baltimore, Nov. 16.-1^ has been fully de-
termined that tbe re-election of Walsh to tbe next
Congress from the Sixth Maryland District shall be
contested by McComas, the Republican candidate,and
in view of the Closeness ot the next Hoase the con-
tost may assume greatimportance. "Walsh's majority
was only fourteen, and was gained by the prepon-
derance of tbe Democratic majorities in Montgom-
ery County over the Republican majorities in tho
other four counties of the district. The Rei^ubli-
cons have been quietly investigating tbe vote of
Montgomery, and although they nave not gane
through all tbe precincts, tbey- have found
^t tainted with such evidsnces of '' fraud
and intimidation as will Inevitably unseat
"Walsh on any fair consideration. Montgomery
is a county of Southern Maryland ' tacked on by a
Democratic gerrymandering process to the Sixth Dis-
trict, to overcome the Republican vote of the 'West-
ern Maryland counties in tbe district. It contains
a large proportion of negro voters, and the evidence
IS very strong that they were driven away
from the polls by the scare, unless they would on.
sent to vote the Democratic ticket. Some of them
did 80 vote under the compulsion of sbot-gun argu-
ments; and others hurried away in fear for their
lives without attempting to vote. "With all the
fraud and violence, the legitimate minority
of Montgomery was not sufficient to elect
Walsh, and after the polls bad closed* bandfnlls of
his tickets were crammed into tbe ballot-boxes by
the Democratic Judges of Election. It was,
throughout, an election on tbe Mississipui
plan, aud the facts will certainly constitute
the basis of a contest by McComas.
The collection of evidence will be continued,
although the Democrats are mfiking a desperate
resistance to the development of tbe troth, and Mo-
Comas may safely be counted on as aaJing one to
tbe Republican strength of tbe next Congress.

Columbus, Nov. 16.-7-The Ohio vote for Presi-
dential Electors was canvassed at the Secretary of
State's ofSce to-day, and shows a nujority for Hayes
and Wheeler of 7,516. There wore 3,057 votes
cast in tbe State for Peter Cooper for
President. 1,636 for Greene- Clay Smith,
tbe Prohibition candidate, and 76 votes for
tbe Anti-secret Society ticket. Tbe aggregate vote
in the Presidential election is 658.649, which is an
increase of 27,080 over the aggregate vote for .State
ofQoera in October last, and over tbe vote for Gov-
ernor last year of 65,96«. The increase over the
vote tor President in 1872, which is tho heaviest
ever cast in Obio prior to last year, is
129,213. In view of this great increase,
and especially that over the vote of last year, the
moderate dimensions of the Bepuhlioan maiority
are not surprising. The Democrats, inspired by
their success in Indiana, undoubtedly brought out
.their last man in the November election, which can-
not be said of the Republicans by a margm of from
ton to fifteen thensand. At least that number
of Bepublicans were absent from tbe
State, or did not go to the polls at
the Xovembsr (election. The Bepnblican vote has
also been greatly weakened during the last few
years by westward emigration, as is shown by the
heavy majonties in Iowa and Illinois, States
largely settled by Ohio people. The la-
crease of the JSTovember majority over
that in October is not great, but
Coiisidenog the depressing influeuoo of tbe IndisDa
deteat, tbe hard times and other adverse clroum-
stancas of tbe canvass, it is quite satisfactory. Tbo
County giving tho largest Bepubllcan gain over Oc-
tober is Cuyahoga, including the City of Cleveland,
aud tbe next largest is in Saudusk.y Coanty.
which is the homo .of Gov. Hayes. The Demo-
cratic majority in tbat county was reduced from
616 in October to 298 in November, a Bepnblican
gain of 313. Last year Gov. Hayes ran 116 ahead of
bis ticket in the <£oanty, making a Bepubllcan
gain of 626 during the last two years in ono of tho
strongost Democratic .counties of the State.
Leading Democrats here seem to have grown ^
quite despondent with reference to Tlidon's pros-
pects m the South, and are transferrmg their hopes
to thfe Hoose ef Kepresentatives. Tho Bepubli-
cans have grown correspondingly confident thalGrov.
irayoe it elscted and will be peaceably inaugurated.
The Governor's behavior in the midst of the ex-
citement has been beyond criticism, and he has
oommaBded the respect of the Democrats aa
well as ot tho Bepublicans. No ono ooold
infer from anything he sSys or does that hs has any"
other Interest in political events than that ot a
private^ citizen. From tho beginning of the can-
vass until sow bo has betrayed no anslety of a
personal nature as to tbe result, and he
is now going about his daily o^cial
duties as quietly and choerfally aa though no
Presidential oandldaey had evar entered his mind.

Testorday vas the Jtwr ie9 MorU, or
'* D»7 of tlie DmuI," one of tWmb«t Inieieatiiie
fUtes In the Fartelan'a oeleader. TIio visitB to
the o«meteriM beicin on All Souls' Day ; the
' f<miba Iteiag decorated the day before, but the
candle* upen the little altars within them are
only lichted on IbutcUnt af<ernooD. Upon
All Soals' Day they are kept bamin]c from
momins till nicht. For the benefit of those vhe
baTe neror been abroad, I may lay that the
tombs and monuments have are not like those
erected orer the srayes of the dead in America.
In Europe they are built square, so as to form a
obapel within. 7he tombs of rich families
generally kare a chapel some six or eight feet,
in heicfat, six feiiit in length and iou in width.
This leaves spaoe for an altar two feet wide,
•ad spade eneu^ch for three or four persons to
kneel with ease, llie altars are decorated ex-
Mtxy in the same fashion as those ef Catholio
phapels throaghout the world, bnt in addition
to tae vases, flowers, and caudles, families dis-
play photographs of the dead. My attention
was *€irre8ted yasterday by an altar ; having
upon it a doll that had evidevtly seen serTtce,
and on leoking at the photograph I found it
toat of a little girl, a little angel in appearance,
lome two cr three years of age. ' Tills was seen
•Tttrthe bead of a woman in deep black, whose
face was buried in her hands and bowed
upon tl^ altar. One read the whole history in
this touching picture. The ve^ rich and noble
families have monuments large enough to ad-
mit of the entfy of several persoas at the same
tune, and some, like that of the Montmoreooya,
at Mantmartre, will admit of a mass said by a
-pHesfc The ohapel is carpeted, and halt a
dioien ohairs stand abeut the room. People of
moderate means, for a eonwsaion H p*rp«tuiU
Bosts ficom $1,590 to 13,000 here, have seme two
feet ot space for the altar, and kneel before it
upon the tlireaheld when the door is epened.
,The habit of pladng photographs, busts, or
portraits has now become very eommon, and it
adds greatly te the'Tlnterest et one's visit te
these ''oities of the dead." 1 should say that
they are laid eat peoisely like cities, in squares
or bloeks, with named avennes and numbered
streets. The dead are buried one above the
other, and not side by side^ wid each coffia is
cnoaaed in cement and hermetically sealed. It
is not an easy task to break open one of these
cells when the cement has once hardened.
The larger tombs have roem for ttro tiers of
oefBns four or five deep, one of them being suf-
ficient for a family of eight or ten persons.
When the cells are all filled iho great families
pfai^ the hearts of their dead in the family
tomb, burying the rest of the remains else-
where. Ttiis, however, is easily done. This is
the case with the family of liannes. Due de
Montsbello, and one reads upon his tomb, " Jci
at deposi le eeeur de MariehcU Xiannea,"
A vast crowd ot persons thronged the
aveauetothe entrance^ of Montmartre, where
the dealers in wreaths and srowns of Immor-
teiles have established their booths, and I had
to wait for seme time before getting In. The
Police at the gates enly admit a certain num-
ber of persons at a time, and keep the rest back
until the maim avenue is nearly cleared. When
the hundred or so admitted have sauntered
away in various direetions another lot is al-
owed to enter. This is partly to prevent een-
fosion, and partly to prevent amy attempt at
making a demonstration about the tomb of
Cavaisnao. The leaders of the Democracy ne
longer try that, as they did in days past, but
there are always some silly fellows anxious to
{et their names into the papers, or to create a.
lensation, who try toi) make sneeches beside
Gtode&oy Cavaienao's temb. Ike Police quietly
Sluing forward to disperse the erowd and to
order the orator to move on- Last year Victor
Bago was caught here and forced to the monu-
ment amidst the cries of " speech 1 " " speech 1 "
and he was only rescued with difficulty by the
Police. The real manifestation is beside the
tomb of Baudin, but the persons of whom I
■peak do not like that, beeaass it is out of the
way. Cavaignae'a tomb is on the main square,
and at the first words of these orators an au-
^dienoe is quickly gathered. This year it has
received bat little attention, for there were
only four wreaths upon it, and a few branches
of box. The tomb of Delpbine Gay. Mm*.
Emile de Girardin, was not decorated at
alL It has engraved upon it the words this
celebrated' authoress penned a few days be-.
fore her death, "Iwish yon to put a simple
"'^■rossupon my tomb as its only ornament."
Nsar by rises the stately granite oolainn ef ^he
UontmorencTS, and beyond it are the tombs
ot Count Hondotol, Ary Soheffer, the Duobesse
d'Abrantes, and Marie Duplessis.'the Dame aux
Camtlliaa. Her grave Is annually covered
with flowers* Upon Scheffer's tomb we saw sev-
' eral crowns and -vases ot flowers, and upon the
threshold, outside the two modest pots of
flowers that I have noted, for some years past,
placed there by one who loved him, but who
has not the right of entering the door. The
tomb of Baudin was nearly buried in wreaths,
but there were tew persons about it,
while the tomb of Theophile Gautier at-
•itfact«d crowds all day long. It is erowmed by
a piece of statuary of great artistic merit,
purchased by a public subsoription.
About P^re Laohaise the crowd was im-
mense even at the late hour when I arrived,
and' the persons at the gate estimated the
number of visitors at 4 o'clock at 125,000 per-
sons, llie tombd ttiat were the most deco-
rated with flowers were those of Alfred de
Musset, Brul^, Mme. Barthelemy Saint Hilaire,
Cousifl, Ernest Baroche, Dejazet, Fervacquss,
Aim6e DescMe, and Miohelet, while the curious
and uninterested visitors made their way to
the more imposing monuments of Abelard and
Heioise, Casimir P6rier, the Duo do Morny,
Gteofifroy Saint-Uilaire, Menge, and Constant
3ay^ The main avenue was crowded through -
9Ut tho entire atternoon, and more than a
'thoosand persons ■ were constantly seen upon
the heights where the battle of the Commune
was fought, and where the marks of that su-
preme struggle are still, soon upon the tomb-
itones. I did not go to Montpamasse, but see
that the crowds there were even larger than
>n preceding j ears.

SIB T. D. ABCHIBALB.
; The Lmidon Times of the 3d inst. gives the
foLowihg remarks of I/ord Chief Jnatice Coleridge
m memory of Sir T. D. Archibald, on the first day
of tbe Michaelmas elttinga :
Lord Colerldce said : "As Sir Ballol Brett is pres-
ent, and this is the first occasion we have met'smoe
the vacation, I hope 1 am not doing too mnch in
giving acme notice to tbe great and irreparable loss
wbicb, not only this ooort bnt tbe profession ab
large, both Bench sad Bar alike, have sustained. In
tbe removal from us by awift and unerpected death
of my dear Mond and most honored and valned eol-
leagne. Mr. Justice Archibald. I really believe
there wsa no man who was mora beloved by all wbo
knew him, and I am snre there was no man who
better deaerred the afifeotlon he received, fits great
powers of mind, bii learnlne, bis judgment, tem-
pered by gentleness wbioh was never weakness,
made him. indeed, at once a great Judge and a
most attractive man. I believe that a more stain-
leas character than his was never borne by any
nan wbo sat upon the Xlnelish Bench. Bo
one was fitter than he to be called from
the great task of judging others to be Judged
hlmsel£ .1 have been told, in words that I am
glad to make my own, that every Kcntleman tn the
profession telt tbat in him they had lost a friend )
and if he bas left us in regret he bas left us alao a
beantifnl example. I hope I may sav that we oar-
selves In this regret may feel toward bim as we
know, from tbe words of the trreat old Roman, the
Germans felt in lines of sorrow: "Lameata ao lac-
rlaaas oito. dolorem et tnatitiam tarda poaunt, T"ob-
minis lugere huneatum est, viris meminiase,"
After a slight pause. Mr. Cohen, the senior mem-
ber of the Bar present! rose and said : " With yoor
ijerdsbip's periuission, I shontd like to sav a very
few words, representing aa I do most unworthily
the Bar on tbe present ocoaaiop. I ahould like to
aaanre jonr Iiordsbip thai we heard with tbe most
protonnd tegret of the loss of Mr. Justice Archi-
bald, whom myself and many of ua on tbo Home
Circuit knew well, and 1 think I may say
that I am certain that no barrister was
more respected or - senerally beloved. "When
one Wbo was our friend took his seat on
the Bench, we were proad to find that the Home
Cironit had the honor of fnTnisbing the Bench of
Bneland with, I think, one of tho most Impartial
andone of the moat ooarteons and emment Jadges
who ever adorned the Bench. Undoubtedly, tbe Bar
of Ungland felt, Z may say, without suy pretense,
and with perfect sineerlty.'a very heavy blow wbea
Mr. Justice Archihald was so prematurely cut oS.
I thank yoar Lordship for reminding us that at
tbe same time that we regret bis loan we may all
take him aa a noble example of what may be done
by a member of tbe Bar, who has always performed
his duty in tbe noblest manner."

A LB ITU B FROMIOOMBS.
A Georgia paper prints a letter written by
Robert Toombs on the 22d of September laat, in
which he advocates the election of Dr. Felteo. the
Independent candidate for Congress, and aays :
" Not agreeing with either or any who stand upon
tbe Democratic, so sailed, platform on many vital
points, I prefer Dr. Felton becauae bis election
would aid In breakioK down the abselnte authority
of party conventiona, which are rapidly putting tbe
State and cotmtry Into the hands of menofamall
capacity, wholly destitute of principle, who are
seekine pewer and place for their own selfish ends.
We have tried this ganj; of conventiona when<they
put Greeley on ps. They ask ns again to tiv them
with Tilden. I decline the offer now as 1 did then.
I am not devoted to the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments,-! am not in favor of Internal Improve-
ments by the general Government. I im against
all national banks. I am againtt enlarging tbe
Army to ahow mv loyalty ; against lavish appropri-
ations to tbe 4th of July barbecue. Z am utterly
oppoeed to uf gro sufirage, and shall be as long as I

The sessions of the Missionary Committee of
the Methodist Epiacopal Chnreh were continaed
yesterday in the mission rooms of the Methodist
Book Uoneern, Broadway and Bleventh street.'
The morning session was called to order at 9:30
o'clock. Bishop Ames presided, and , tbe religions
exercises were condncted by Dr. Cummings. The'
committee appointed at the close of Wednesday's
session ' to . report the amount of money
neceaaary to be ' appropnated this year to
the support of misaionary i work, and also a
plaa " whereby , tbat amount ; should be ' raised,'
not being ready te report, other business was taken
up, and Eer. Dr. Daahiol was appointed a commit-
tee to andlt the traveling expenses of the commit-
tee. Dr. Fowler, Chairman of the committee ap-
pelnted to report recommendations in regard to the
appropriations, read the reeonmeadations of the
committee, which ^ ere— first, that the Board of
Managers of the committee appoint an Exeoutive
Committee of not leas than five nor more than nine
members, to aid the Secretaiies in canvassing and
arousing the Church to the importance of this
work, and to an appreelation of the emergency
upon them; second, that tbe coramittes appropriate
1525,000 to tbe work j third, that an extra appropria-
tion of 1100,000 bo made for *he liquidation of tho
debt; fourth, that the appropriationa be limited to
f5S!5,000 for carr.ving on tbe work. Tho second,
third, and fourth reeommendations were first acted
upon and adopted, and then the first recommenda-
tion, after brief dlsotuslon, was also adopted.
All tbe preliminaries having been settled, the call
for appropriations was begun, commenoang with
foreign missions. Bishop Foster read a telegram
from the Coming District of the De8< Moines Con-
ference, as follows : "Don't withdraw a missionary
or cat down appropriations. Draw on us for our
share of deflcienoy." "There is a ray of light,"
said the Bishop, "and an evidence tbat at least
somebody has courage." The recommendation of
the Secretaries, asking tbe appropriation of (7,000
to the support of missionary work in Liberia, Af-
rica, as against |8,500 last year, was first read.
The recommendation was adopted without debateii'
Last year the appropriation to the South Amerioan
Miaaien was S7,500 in gold, and it was moved and
seconded that the same amount be appropriated
this year. After considerable discusaion the mo-
tion was adopted, fixing tbe amonnt at $7,500, with
an addition of |1,500 for exchange, making an ag.
gregateof 89,000. At this point Dr. Hitchcock
asked for information as to the amount usually
paid for ezohange. Bishop Harris explained that,
with geld at twelve per cent, and exchange at 8
per cent., it required an outlay of twenty per
cent, to convert tbe currency into gold and trans-
mit it to the missionary in foreign lands. First, it
was necessary to pay, say twelve per cent., more or
less, to convert the currency into gold, and say
Bight per cent., more or lees, to buy the bill of ex-
change. Dr. Hitchcock moved tbat the standard
of exchange be fixed at twenty per cent. Consider-
able time was consumed in endeavoring to maater
and understand the complicated questions of ex-
change, finance, &c., after which the motion ot Dr.
Hitchcock prevaile;!. For carrying on the work in
Foochow, China, the appropriation waa fixed it
$13,000 and 2 600 for exchange, as against f 13, 850
last year, with $2,770 60 for exchange. For the
misalon at Kiukiang, China, the sum of $7,253
was recommended to be appropriated, against
$9,430 last .year. (All the appropriations to forelen
missions, except Africa, being made Ingold.and the
basis of twenty per cent, having been fixed as tbe
rate of exchange, that sum must in all oases be
added to the amounts as reported.) At present there
are eat foar missionaries at Einkiantr, whereas
there were six last year. Of the above appropria-
tion $1,000 was. intended for the purpose of sending
oat the intended wife of one of tbe misaionarles.
Dr. Trimble moved tbat the extra^|l,000 be stricken
out. It was finally compromised by flzing the sum
at $7,000. Last year $11,478 was appropri-
ated for the work in Pekin, China.
The miaalonariea in that field asked an ap-
propriation this year of $13,325. The Committee
on Estimates recommended the appropriation ef
$8,250 for the enaulng year. Mr. Ferry au^gested,
in view of the representations of tbe misaiouarios
at this station in China, and their obvions needs,
that it would be well, perhaps, to increase the
amount ia this instance. Bishop Foster moved tbat
the amount be made $9,000. Dr. Nelson, Treasurer
of the society, moved tbat it he $8,250, as asked for
by the Seeretaries. The latter motion prevailed.
The amount appropriated last year to the work in
Germany and Switzerland was $23,000. This year
the aumis reduced to $20,000, Dr. Reid, in referring
to the work in Germany, said that in reference to
what bad been said the day before, in regard to the
mone.y sent there and tbe few members, it was nol^
fair to hold this committee responsible for that.
The miasienaries of this society are not paid, tor in-
stance, for preaching in Heidelberg. If a miasonary
of the Methodist Church saw fit to go out of his
circuit and preach to congregations ot four or five,
it was to nls credit, bnt it wus not right to give tho
impression from this committee that tbe society was
paving its mis-iionaTiea to do such work.
Dr. Cattell contended that tbe people of Germany
were better able to pay their own expenses, as
a general thing, than tbe society were to pav
them, and that there were too many small stations,
which contain but few members, and which oaght
to be consolidated.
Rev. Mr. Laeber thought the reduction of the ap-
propriation to $20,000 would be the death-blow to
the work in that country, Hq moved that the
amonnt be fixed at $22,000. A motion to amend by
making the amonnt $20,000 was finally adopted^
For the Scandivanian Mission, $7,500 was appro-
priated t^o the work in Denmark, against $8,893 last
year; $10,500 to Norway, against $12,000 last year,
and $20,000 to Sweden, in place of $23,000 last year.
Bishop Simpson eflfered a resolution prohibiting
any of the European Missions from so extending
their work as in any manner to involve any extra
expense, without the consent of tbe Preaiding
Bishop or ot the board. The reaolution was
adopted. In obedience to a auggeHtion made by
Dr. Eeid it was ordered that appropriations in the
same ratio be made for tbe remaining six months
of the year, for Norway and Sweden, in order to
make the fiscal year correspond with tbe confer-
ence year, instead of aa heretofore, with the cal-
endar year. The conferences usually meet in the
Summer, and tho appropriations heretofore made
will expire on the Ist of next January. This adds
$5,250 to the appropriation for Norway, and $10,000
to that for Sweden. Last year the appropriation
for North India was fixed at £63,016. The recom-
mendation for the present year was $55,000. PiTid-
ing the decision of the recommendation,, the hour
of recess having arrived, an adjourament was
ordered until 2 o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Bishop Bowman presided at the opening ot the
afternoon Eession. Dr. Foss read a selection frorp
Scnpture, and led in prayer. The appropriation of
$55,000 to the carrying on of the work in North
Inoia, which was under disoussiou at the hour of
-recess, was taken up, and after further dlscnsaion,
the amount waa fixed at that sum, with an addi-
tion of 82,000 already in the hands ef
the Treasurer of the society at Allahabad.
Last year the mission in South India reuolved $50.
"iJhis year the Secretary stated that he did not
l:uow if anything would be needed, hence it was
lesolved to make no apprepriation. The sum of
18,000 was, last year, granted to Balgaria It was
ijoved that $8,000 be appropriated this year, in-
c'udiog $600 to send to that country a native mis-
sionary, recently graduated from the Drew Serai-
Ti.<ry, and pay hia salary tor one year. Dr. '
Ccttoll called attention to the low state of
thj missionary field in Bulgaria, and to the fact
tb'tt there are already sixteen missionaries in tbat
coantr.v. who are preaching to about sixty persons,
diiiiributed among eightpeu States, at an annual
exieuse of more than $10,000, and he wanted to
kn iw it It would pay to try and keep np that Mia-
eio3. Dr. Reid gave a history of the young Bul-
gavian. whom it was proposed to send out, ami
stated that he did not know inhere would be any-
tliiag for the young man to do if he was sent out.
Dr. Crawford finally made a aiotiou thitt the whole
matter be referred to a special committee, to take
intt consideration the expediency of dieoontinufng
the Bulgarian Mission, and report to the committee.
Bis!iup Ames, Bishop Simuaon, Gen. Fisk*, and
oih;rs opposed the proposition, while Dr. Clark,
Dr. Cattell, and others favored it, and one of
the strong arguments used in favor ot aban-
doa ng the field was the present unsettled condi-
tio! of afiairs in that country, owing to the im-
pending war between Russia and Turkey. Bishop
Simpson said that, in the event of war being
deolared between those two countries, and that
portion of Turkey should fall into the hands of
Rn^ia, she might give the aociety notice to quit,
andtbey would then be compelled lo withdraw
their misaions. But, on the other band, should the
City of Constantinople fall into Protestant bands,
as it was likely to do, in case England should step
in and appropriate tbat City, which he said waa the
most beautiful and important commercial city
in the world, it would then be highly important
tbat the sooistv should be in possession of that

year $17,475 was granted to Italy. This year
aniount ia reduced to $16,000. The amount of ap-
propriation laat year to misaionary work in Mexico
was $24,000. Dr. Butler, who bas charge of that
flfl"J. »»k6d fer an appropriation this year of
$31,000. The Seoretariea recommended the aum of
$18,000. Bishop Foster moved that the ap-
propriation be fixed at $20,000, and Dr. Reid
SfT?" „an amendment, making it $18,000.
iilshop Simpson, in an eloquent appeal in behalf
of the Importance of tbe work, and the cheering
proapeots that surrounded it, expressed tho hope
that the amount would not be less than $21,600.
Mexico was otuf next-door neighbor, much visited
by oar people, and the key to the whole range of
the Spanlab-Bpeaking people. Dr. Reid, in reply to
a question as to the present condition of the work,
stated that tbe mission at present owned real estate
in Mexico ©f tbe aggregate value of 171,370, an in-
crease of over nine tbouaand dollars during the
past year. They have, at present, ninety-four
workers in tbe field, being an increase of
fifty-four within the year. The total member-
ship of tho Church was 128, being an
Increase of 60 during the year; and besides these,'
the number of members on probation at present is
390, being an increase of 241 daring the past year.
Bishop Ames made a strong appeal in favor of the
importance of the work in Mexieo. The amount
was finall.v fixed at $20,000, wherenpon the eommlt-
tee adjourned. Notice was given that a meeting
would be held in the evening in tbe Allen Street
Methodist Chnroh, in memory of the late Bishop
Janes, and that addresses would be made by Bishop
Ames, Dr. Trimble, Judge Fancher, Rev. J. 8.

Henry Eall has recovered judgment against
the City for S2,26C 97 tor personal injuries received
from a blast of rocks at Manhattan square, through
the careletsneas and negligence of tbe Department
of Public Parks. City Judge Sutherland bas also
obtained a judgment against the City for salary at

A DEFAULTING CLERK.
A rumor was current in Wall street .yestiar-
day that a clerk employed by tbo firm of H. L. Mor-
ton & Co., ot No. 56 Broadway, had become a de-
faulter in the sum ot $50,000. An investigation
showed that the facts were greatly exaggerated.
About two weeks ago Horfon & Co. discovered that
a young man employed by thf m in a oonfldentisi
capacity had used 1^5 000 belonging to them, and had
lost the inohey in uusuccesstul speculations. Tho
defaulter confessed his guilt, but, out of regard for
bis family, the firm deferred taking action against
him in a criminal case. It wits, however, seen to
that he should not leave the City. The punishment
of the defaulter will depend upon the action of tbe
f^nlor member of the firm when he arrives home
rom Europe in a few dava. The clerk has been in
the employ of Horton k, Co. for about ten yeare,
and was considered until his defalcation was dis-
covered a jemarkably Adthfal and intelligent eol-

We are permitted to print the following let-^
ter from a prominent lawyer In Columbia, S. C, to
a friend in this city :
Columbia, S. 0., Nov. 10, 1878.
. I have Just answered your second message. I
eannet begin to write • you the frauds practiced er '
terrorism which has prevailed in this State since
Monday morning last. I knew it is customary for
deieated parties to cry out fraud aad corruption,
but here it has been a reality. We have, on a fatif
count, over thirty thousand majority in this State;
Still, they have cut oar majorities down so that w(>
are act quite sure of Chamberlain's eleetion. They
all, however, acknowledge tbe State to have gone
for Hayes. You may ask how can or have they
eat down our »ioorltie» J Well, take Edgefield
County as a fair sampU of tbe others. We
have In that county about sixteen hundred
majority. The iiflo clubs wliich Chamberlain
disbanded by hia proclamation had been going
arotmd, since the Hamburg maassore, night and
da.y, coaxing and threatening in every way, end
the poor negreea could not stand up under it.
They knew tbat these people not only threaten,
bnt carry their threats Into execution. They
threatened to turn them out ef their houses and
homes, and to starve them. You cannot be-
gin to conceive the manner nor nagnitnde of their
operations. I eaanot write it; my heart sickens at
the thought ef It. The night before election the
Red Shirts rode all night long in squads, in the
various couuties, to the cabins of the negroes, and
either got promises from them to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket 01 stay at home ; and ao Edgefield, in-
stead of giving us 1,600 majority, Is claimed as Dem-
ocratic by 3,500, a Democratic gain of 5,100 votes.
Abbeville, Barnwell, Laurens, and York all are
claimed tbe same way, and tbe laaioritiea in
other counties greatly reduced. They nave a bat-
tery of two Napoleon guns, and they have
had them out 00 the hill neat tbat new house of
mine, (you will remember where,) and firing all the
afternoon, threatening myself and all other carpet-
baggers, and giving us ten days to get out of town in.
I have written you frequently that the North placed
too much reliance on the stories told by these rebels
against the Radicals here, and that the North would
one day want us. Tbe day has come, and the.y
want South Carolins. Yes. thoy need ua. Tbey
will have ns, teo, and at a fearful sacrifice. For
three weeks, every time onr party spoke m
the upper counties of the State we were
threatened with assassinatioa, and ex-
pected it ever.y night. And for wbati
I wish I could have got the ear of the Northern
people in localities that went Democratic, and if
there was any reason in them 1 could have oon-
vijDced them. If I could hare made thrne or four
speeches in Connecticut, I could, I believe, have
carried that State. I could not go— I was needed
here. I staid, gave up the Centennial, and all to
carry this State. We are more than rejoiced here
at Ben Butler's election. I tell yon, no matter
what they say of him, he is a friend of the Repub-
licans South, and I wish Congress was filled with
men just like him. We will have to leave here;
it's only a question of time, and that a short time,
teo.
All this trouble in South Carolina ia the result of
Gov. Chamberlain's mistaken teaching and con-
ciliatory policy. I have aaid, and say it again,
there is no use ol trj'ing to tote with the devil, for
he will not tote fair, and will get the best of it
any way, and these people are filled with the devil
surely. '
The only reports we have from Edgefield Conuty,
except through Democratic sources, is to the effect
that the Republican Commissioners ot Sleotion and
Republican managers ot election dare not meet to
declare the result. Lawrence Cain, the Senator
from that county, dare not send a man over to let
us know the terror existing there ; so he wrote a
letter and got bis wife's sister te put in ber bosom
aiid bring it over. Tbat was Wednesday night, and
that is all tbat has been heard from there since elec-
tion. The Democrats first claimed 2,500, then found
that not enough, and claimed 3,000 — and finding tbat
not enough claim now 3,500.
I go out on the street becauae I won't be kept
in by them, bat about every ten steps I hear the
cry " the Carpet-Baggers I " *< Radicals I we
will run them out m lesa than ten days." Mark my
word, this country has got to be governed by i,he
South, or It baa got to be governed by the North.
We fought for the Union once — we can fight for it
again.
I inclose you a slip from the Union Berald, say-
ing : "Alread.y, before the vote is ceunted, promi-
nent Republicans are receiving notices to leave the
State. One gentleman found such a notice this
morning in his garden." It was myself that found
the notice in my door-yard to quit.
This morning Hampton has issued an address to
the people, calling himself Governor. They give
up the State to Hayes. The Electoral ticket ran
way ahead in all the counties.

HOW REPUBLICANS WERE TBEATBD PRE-
VIOUS TO THB ELECTION — FEARS OF THB
ELECTION OF TILDEN.
From the Toledo (Ohio) Commercial.
A prominent gentleman in this city bas re-
ceived a letter from a gentleman at Natchitoches,
La., written a few days previous to the election,
which is very pertinent to tbe present excitement
regarding the coantiag of tbe vote in that State,
and the manner in which the election was eon-
ducted. We are permitted to make . extracts from
It, withholding, of course, the name of the writer:
Natchitoches, La., Nov. 1, 1876.
Mt DBAE Fbibnd : * * * The Republican i'ar-
ty here is thoreugbly organized and solid, and will
vote an overwhelming mujurity for Hayes and
Wheeler and the State ticket, unless the Democrats
Indulge in tbeir usual pastime of "bulldozing." It
ia an imdjtubted fact that a white Republican in
thia land la vilified, abused, ostracized, and never
safe from personal attacks, no matter how honest
and upriiiht in bis personal character. You have no
conpepiion, neither can words convey any adequate
idea, 01 the tearful eiisteace which we lead in ad-
vocacy of Repnblicaa principles. The whole aim
and object of the Southern Democracv is to
gain control of tbe national Government, and
accomplish within the Union what they failed to
achieve by force ot arms The same men lead the
masses. The only requisite qualification for public
favor ia the advocacy of Southern ideas ; the
Standard of respeotabuity is gauged by services
rendered to the Confederate cause. The white
Southern Repnblicans are classed and denounced
as "Southern renegades," "traitors," "outlaws,
and outcasts." Let Tilden be elected by a "solid
Southern vote," and my word for it, civil war will
again be the result. All the men on the Democratic
Slate ticket Are soldiers, and the rights of the
colored i^n are not tecognised, nor have they been
given an^fc representation. The triumph of the
I)emocratlc\Party will necessitate the speedy de-
fiarture of every one of us trom its limits. Our
ives would not be worth a cent. Hence, our strug-
gle is nut only one for oonstitutioDal rights, but for
our very existence. Tbe Republican papers do not
exaggerate the condition ot afiuirs here, bnt are ac-
tuaOy afraid to publish the real state of things.
Only yesterday, at a barbecue here, a Bepnbdoan
candidate, woo went there by invitation, was gross-
ly Insulted and abused, and would have been beaten
if some right-minded Deofocrats, bis friends, had
not protected him. Republicans, as a general rulo,
will not go to Democratic gatherings, aa they are
sure to be insulted, if not etherwise ill-treated.
Oar only hope and salvation is by the election of
Hayes and Wheeler.
It trouble breaks oat in the South, I am coming
North. My next fight will be for the Stars and
Stripes.
SHERIDAN IN LOUISIANA.
MANIFESTATIONS OF REBEL HATE AGAINST
THE HERO OP THE SHENANDOAH VAL-
LEY.
From the Petersburg (Va.) Index- Appeal, Nov. 14.
At any rate, no good can come of Sheridan's
being sent to Louisiana, as the President ought to
have sense enough to know. He has but|insalted
the people of Louiaiana by quartering on them a
so-jundrel who disgraced the Federal uniform by
attempting to braod a whole community of honor-
able and Christian people with the epithets of ban-
. ditti and murderers. It is of some consolation to
reflect tbat if Sheridan and his thugs attempt the
peipetratiou of any moro vile wrongs and I'aut^istic
tricks of tyranny, at New-Orleaus again, he will
have better occasion to be "afraid" of the ven-
geance of a people, made through bim the victims
of intolerable injury and iusuU, than he had on the
ocosiiiou uf his former visit.
Tbe character of the " fair-minded" men whom
the President deputed to proceed South and secure
jnatice and honesty in the connt of the votes, is
another hapless commentary on the. President's
professions. Net one of the men who wore so re-
quested by Gen. Grant to go on this peaceable mis-
sion, WAS other than a Republican, and nearly all
of them were Radicals of the bitterest and iuieusest
dye. Nothing like fair pUy could be expected ot
partisans so dyed in tbe wool as Logan, or £ati8on,
or Dix, or Garfield, or Edmunds. Of Suhonberg
nobody appears to know uuytbiug, pro or c»n. Mr.
Kelley once made a strong speech against the
cnrpot- bagger?, lint he eupportoa Hayes in the late
election. .Mr. Evarts used to.be reckoned an
honest man, but bis reputatiou was very badly hurt
by tho reckless, malignant speech which ho made
in ' New-Yort on the eve of the election. On
the whole, it appears that the President, it he really
means to secure fair play, has shown very little of
his ordinary trood sense in the way ho has goae
about It. Tho worst class of i)ariiBai]8 and the sol-
diers of easiest virtue are put in authority to ueoure
a "lair" count of tho electoral voiea. We hope our
auapicions are not well founded, but there is noth-
ing in tbe situation which justiflss ns in expecting
fair play or even decent justice from the creatures
of Grant's appointment. It may be that more de-
cisive measures will prove to be necessary to ex-
tort the reougnition of Democratic rights at the
hands ef the cai-pet-bag boards and other officials of
the Radical Southern States. We hone Gov. Tilden
will prove equal to the occasion and will prevent
by wi-atover meana may be requisite the frauds
and oorr option a tbat now appear to be cootem-
DJated by the Radical managers.

TME SITWATION IN LOUISIANA. %
WH^T GOV. KELLOGG 18 REPORTED TO jaATB^
SAID TO THB ' COBRESPONBBNT * OF ' A;
TILDBK PAPER. >
From the BtMlmore Sun.
New-Oeleaits, Nov. 14.— I kad a Very lotg
and interesting conversation with Gov. Eellosg te-'
day. I asked bim what his candid opinion was
as to the result of the eleetion f He declared'
that he was not willing to ■ say at this time how|
the State had gone, as he had not sufficient data'
before him to form a correct Judgment. . As to
the Legislature, he said : tbe - Btpnblicans .- had
that, and all hell ' could not take It 'away^fpom^
them. His . spirits have ' risen very ' mncti, and *-
he BOW exhibits the utmost serenity. He says-,
that he has nothing at all to do with the Betam-t
ing Board or its acts, denies positively that any-
of the present members of it are ineligible, , and .
scouts, as not to be tolerated for ''an instant,!
any idea that the board has no Jurisdiction over'
the eennting of tbe electoral vote. He had all the*
Louiaiana statutea bearing en tbe subject of.elect-'^
lona before him, and pointed ont to me the various '
provisions which are relied upon by the Radicals to
enable thegi to counteract any efforts of toe Con-
servatives. The Returning Board will act not under
tbe old law, bnt under tbe new Warmoth law of
1873, the aame law, he says, by which the Conserva-'
Uvea thought they would be able to defeat him.:
The Legislature, he stated, is vested by law with
the sole and supreme power of deciding wbo is the
Governor, and It can in fire minutes suspend the
Grovemor from exercising the lunctiona of office..
With this body in the hands of the Repnblicans, bo
don't see how Packard, the Radical candidate for
Governor, caa be kept out. '•
The construction aow put upon the election laws
by Gov. Kellogg and his party nats a different
phase on the situation, and adds to the compiles- '•
tiona. G-ov. Kellogg says he is delighted that many
prominent Democrats of the North are here ; that'
they will now have an opportunity to see for them-^
selves " the villainies of the white people here.",
He has telegraphed asking tbat Messrs. Hoar and
Frye shall come. Tbe Governor said be did not want
any more William Walter Phelpses to come ; that
Phelps was a very nice young man, who parted bis
hair m the middle; tbat when he waa here he waa'
surrounded by tbe White Leaguers, and if a nigger,
appeared to testify, he was kicked down stairs.
He thinks Pmchback will come areond all right to
the support of Packard. I said to bim that I was'
informed by tbe Democratic committee that not one'
single case of violence occurred at the polls in the
whole State on the day of the electioa. He admit-
ted tbat thia might possibly be Uie case, but that
all the intimidations had taken place beforehand.
Just at this point a colored gentleman from the
mterior was ushered in with a laad of intimidation
affidavits. Tbe Governor looked at them and said,,
" That's right ; bring along yonr afflda-yits ; we will
give them enough of them. Wo want the people
of the North," said he, *' to see this thing for ihem-^
selves. Things are bad enough witn both parties
here. I admit, bnt if they get at tbe facts they will
see tbat all tbe rascality is verv far from being on
o»r side." Here the Governor became quite ex-'
' 45ltea, and let off a volle.y of oaths at tbe dupUoity, -i.
falsehood, and treachery of the white people of New<
Orleans. "Why, sir," he said, "the Democratic!
committee here can get up any lie tfae.y please
to send North, and the whole Chamber of Com-,
merce will sign if. The da.y after the eleetion they
sent a dispatch North, claiming 10,030 Democratic
msjority in Louisiana before they had got the re-.'
turns from three parishes. This .dispatch was
signed by five bank Presidents. I met Mr. Bald-^
win, one of these Presidents, the next day, and said
to him, ' How oonld yon put your name to suoh a*
dispatch, when you conld know , nothing of the^
truth of the, allegations?' 'Well, Kellogg,' here-i
plied, 'I didn't read the' damn thing, but these}
people bring these things to my bank, and I sign'
them 'wi^hont looking at them.' " i
The Governor, warming up, then went on to say^
that the newspapers of New-Orleans were biggeri
liara than tbe Democratic Committee, and tbat ther|
would come to bis office and ask him what was tbe '
news. He would reply that be knew of nothing at/
all. Then they woulq go back and write half a
column, iu which he would appear aa making _al^'
sorta of ndicnlous admissions and confessions. ' .'
Gov. Kellogg then gave me an account of-'' the
intimidation alleged to be practiced upon the,
negroes before the election. I asked him - if hto^
had any white testimony ' to substantiate the]
GharEes i He replied that in some instances tbe.vi
had. Tbe Democrats had also (attempted to bay;
up the negroes, standing around the polls with,
new silver half-dollars which the negroes think are,
a very big thing; but even this game did not work '
ana the negroes were allowed to vote tbe £epnbli4
can ticket. I said, "Whv. Governor, tbe Demo-''
cr^ts tell me a great many negroes voted with-
ihsm." Bringing bla fiat down on tne table, hesaid,
"I will bet^any man $5,000 tbat they did notgeti
twent.y-fiv^ negro votes in the whole State. Gen.
Nichoils (Democratic candidate for Governor,) is a]
gentleman, but he could not even costrol the ne-;
groes oa his own plantatloa and in his own parish;,
and tke surrounding parishes. We have increased,
the Republican vote immensely over the vqito of'"
1874. 'W'e bave also carried several parishes which;
heretofore heve always been carried by the Demo-^
oral 8."
Concerning the question of the troops, Mr. Kel-.
logg said that he bad applied to the President fori
troops under the circular order of Attorney-General
Taft. He appeared to feel in a very happy coBdltion'
over the presence of the military, of whoai therearer
sixteen companies in tbe city. *
I assumed, from the whole tenor of Mr. Kellogg'sr
remarks, that ho has to-day received such aseur-'-
ancea at to Justify him in the belief that the Presi-'^
dent ■will place the troops at his absolute disposal. .^
By the law of Louisiana there ia now no Legisla-.''
ture, the terms of the members of tbe last Legisla-,
tare all expiring on the day of the election. The)
•new Legislature will not meet until January, and'i
in the interregnum there is no one to share with
Mr. Kellogg tbe. sceptre of tho State. On taking
leave of Mr. Kellogg, he said: "I presume, of;;
coarse, that yon want to give the real facts ef the^
case to the people of the North, as I have given
them to you ! " I replied, " Yes. It is proper to^
gne both sides."
MB. PINCEBACK.
HE CORRECTS SOME OF THE DEMOCRA'nC
MISSTATEMENTS CONCERXING HIM.
New-Obleans, Nov. 11, 187ft, t.
To the Editor of the New-Orleans Democrat:
In your issue ot the 8th instant there ap-
peared a paragraph asserting that I voted tor Gen. ;
Nicho'ls, and I am told that the New-Orleans Bee—'i
taking the cue from that paragraph, I auppose—
states that I voted the Democratic ticket Both of
these statements are incorrect, as I voted the Re-
publican ticket with a few exceptions ; but while j
denying that I voted for Mr. Nichoils, or the Demo-,
cratio ticket, I, wish it 4o be nnderstood that I did
not vote for Mr. Packard, for reasons which, if ne-
cessity requires, I shall make known to the public.
I opposed Mr. Pacltard's nomination, and deellned
to enter tbe canvass in this Slate until after tbe
October electioa in Indiana, when, concluding that
It might require the electoral vote
Gov. Hayes, I returned '

In your edition of to-day therp also appears what
purports to be an interview ■yt'ith me. in which I
am again misrepresented. It /is true that one of
your eenrteous ana enterprislog young reporters
and I had a casual con versatlun while riding in
a streetcar, and It may be tnat he reported me ac-
cording to bis recollection of wpat I said. But when
he makes me saV'
"I consider that Tilden h
lina. aa I conscientiously belli
gone Democritic by at least 1
far as Tilden running below '
goes, I don't believe it. as in
voters are ignbrant, and incapable of cemprehena
ing the scratching business ; thu.i, if they voted for
Hampton, they voted tbe whole ticket. There may
have been a very few iutelilgent colored men who
scratched. I think you have South Carolina," * * *
—he. Is in error. The first part of this paragraph
ia entirely erroneous ; for if there is ene State in
the Union which I regard as Republican, it is South
Caroliua.
Wuat I did gay was; in scbatance, tbat if Gen.
Hampton has carried tho State, in mv opinion G>v.
Tilden also carried it, as the masses of the colored
people were not Intelligeus enough to discriminate;
tbey vote their ticket straight. In other words i
If thev voted for Gen. Hampton, they voted ;• the
Domocratle ticket complete.
In reference to the election of Mr. PacVard I am
again wrongfully reported. I purposely avoided
any expression on tbat point save to say, "if the
Democratic figures are correct, tbey have certainly
carried the State."
The newmpapers of the eountry seem to regard it
perfectly legitimate |to exercise the largest liberty
with me, and have on several oceaslons put utter-
ances in my month that I never dreamed of, all of
which I have borne in silence. But in a great
crisis such aa the one aow npon the country, bold-'
ing tbe positlos of Chairman of the Central Com-
mittee of the Republican Party of this State, and
being a member of the National Kepubiioan Com-
mittee, I cauuot afford to allow mvseif to be mis-
represented without protest and correction. "Very

THE LATE BI&SOF JANES.

CHURCH i IN ' HIS , MEMORY — ADDRKSSXI
BT REV. .JAMES L. GILDER AN» OTHBSS
li Special services were held in the Allen Street,
Hethodlat Episoopal Church laat evening, in aem^
ory of the late Bishop Janes. Tbe galleries and pal<
pit were draped in black, aad in front of the palpi4(
waa a portrait of the late Bishop, suimoimted Ofm
scroll bearing the sentence, " I am not disappoJati
'ed.'' A aheaf of straw stood on the floor in trout ot
the portrait. Rev. J.S. Willis presided. After tha
choir had sung •'" Nearer, my ' God «■
Thee." ' an ' invocation : was delivered by B«t.
■Dr. Clark, of the • New-England Confereaosk
.which was followed by an address by Bev. Jamai
li. Gilder, -of the North-east Conference. Biaboa
Janes, he said, was one of fifteen young men whs
were admitted on trial into the Philadelphia Caa^
ference tn the Spring of 1830; Of this nom'ber only
foar were now living, and three of them, ineludi^
the speaker, were yet engaged in the ministry;
'^isbop Janes bad been ordained In 1844. , An anaL
ysis of bis character was rendered diffiault by rea
son of Its completeness. There was a beaatifsl
symmetry in all the elements of bis character, aad
Le would undoubtedly have succeeded in wbHtevav
bo under Mok, even had his station in Iffe been In
another spbero than the miniatry. He had resided
in this City thirty-six years, and his name had b«^
come a household word in every Methodist tamlly. '
Judge £. L. Fancher was the next speaker. Re
said he came 'ro'drop the tear ot sympathy with his
brethren ol the laity. He had listened to tb«
preaching of BiaUop Janes in the old Mulberry
Street Church more iban a score of years ago, and
when the speaker had sustained a great bereave,
meut in his own family there was no sympathy sa
congenial tO him as had been that of £t»faop Janes,
Rev. Dr.i' Cummga, President of the 'Wesleyaa
University made the closing address. He paid*
touching tribute to his late co-laborer, and said thai
While no one could claim for Bishop Janes Imma-
nity from human imperfections, none could attrib-
ute to htm unjast intentions. The congregation
united in singing the Doxology, after which bene-
diction was pronounced. ' \':-;^

Xbeae were actions on three policies of insurance on
the life of Monroe Snyder, of Bethlehem. Penn., for
110,000 each, f The defense was that at the time of
tosninc the 'policies, the insured^ialsly stated in
.answer to the question, bow ions be has been at-
tended by a physician, and for what disease, that
Hie had, net. been attended by a. physician .for
twenty yeaca. Iti-was proved ion' th« trial that
the insured ' " in ^'-. 1867, about five . years
nrior to his insurance, while unloading slate from a
wagon to a car, fell from the top of the oar to tbe
gronnd, striking bis head in the fall either against
the wagon or the car, so severely that he lay in an
viaaeasible oonditloD a consiaerable tiine, and was
attended by a physictftn six times before ne was re-
fardsd as convalescent i and that even at that time
0 oomidained of an nnnatoral or noaanal iriddinesg,
and waa tbonght b.v tbe physician to " walk slower
than was his wontJ' tjpon this proof the
obnrt was asked ' to ' instruct the Jary that
tk» polioies were;' rendered void by the untrue
atatamens made. But the charge was as follows ;
'"If the fall upon tbe head, tor which Manroe
Snyder was attended by a pbyaioian, was a severe
«na. the answer was untrue, and the verdict should
Ite tor tb» defendants. Su, if the jury find that tbe .
aftteadance of a pbyaioian .was for any disease or in-
Htry within tbe meaning of the question, tbe ver-
diat ahonld be for the defendants." It is here'
myd that the nesatiTe reply rendered tbe policies
imdirithoat any furiber fact, and that the charge
of the eonrt; In making the au verity of the hurt the

drawing the money from the bank , and the latter
from making any disoosltlon of it unless subject to

hereby assumes and agrees to pay the same trom a

MANSLAUGBTER /iV THJi S£OOND DEGREE.
On the night of - Aug. 27, i two youths
named £mil Jost, of 'No. 84 Sianton street, and Ar-
maud Baux, of No. 93 Greene^ street, became in-
volved in a qiurrel with an Italian named Nioolo
Coorl, who was sittisg on the stoop ot tbn tene-
ment-house No. 94 Greene street. Jost and Coorl
clinched and atruggied in the street, but were separ-
ated, and In the m616a Baux shot Coorl, inflicting
a wound which caused his death four days after ward
in the New-York Hospital. Baux and Jost were
both arrested and indicted for murder in the first
degree; the former as principal, the latter as ac-
cessory. On investigating the case, however, tbe
Distiict Attorney found , that the evidence would
BUBlain no higher offense than tbat of manslanghier
againat Baux, while Jost could not be convicted of
any crima. Wben the prisoners were called up
ye8t»rda.y in Part I of the Court ot General Ses-
sions, Mr. William F. Kintzing, counsel for Baux,
ofiered a plea of guilty of manslaughter iti the sec-
ond degree. Assistant District Attorney Pell stated
to Becorder Hackett tbat he bad examined the case
carefully, and felt justified in accepting the plea
ofiered, the evidence disclosing no hieher grade of
crime. His Honor agreed with the District Attor-
ne.y, and sentenced Baux, who is only eighteen years
of age, to four years in the State Prison. Jost, who
was shown to be blameless, was disoliarged.
A BVIT AGAINST THE CENTRAL DISMISSED.
'■' The t case of George K. Woodward against

tion of a atatnte passed on the Sth of May, 1S64,

senger car wim a suitable leoeptacle for water, to
be constantly supplied with cool water for tfae>ao-
coramodation-of passengers, and imposing a penalty
of 125 for each violation of the law. Mr. Wood-
?ward ia a missionary clergyman, , who is at
present empleyed under Oliver -Cotter, in
BrooKlyn, iu the luterestu of tbe temperance organ-
izations in that city. His complaint against tbe
Company was that in the month oi June last he was
traveling on the Kew-Tork Central and Hudson
Bivei Bailroad Company between this City and
PoueUkeepai9, and found that the carnage in which
'he rode was not provided with water a» required'
bv the statute. . The snit was broughtiln July last,

THE ALABAMA. LEGISLATURE.
The new Legislature of Alabama /met on ji
Tuesday last, this being its first regular biennial
session under tbe new Constitatipn of the State.,
The Mobile Register says of the work before it :
" This first session is limited by tbe Constitution
to sixty days; ^sabsequent^ seasions are limited
to fifty days. A vast amount of business which
formerly devolved upon the Geheral tAaaembly is
now removed from that body by the present GoBsti-
tutien, and it is expected that one short session' in'
two years will abundantly answer ...the 'grants
of tbe State. One of the first and most'
important duties . of the Assembly will ,
be the election ' on Taesd^r week of a
TTnited States Senator to succeed Judge Gold-
tbwaite. Upon joint ballot the Democratic Partv
are said to have 110 votes.uf the whole number, 133.
Whetbcr the Senator will be Lomiqated in caucus
or not, appears unoertaiii.' there being a variety of
opinions on that subjecc. Some urge that tbe Dem-
ocratic strength is such as to justify a general en-
try of ail candidates ; others fear tbat in sueh
event the score of £adical votes may put '
the dark horse in front. Apart from the que»-.- B
tion of Senator, the G-eceral Assembly wil 1 have *
important wcrk in passing aoon the new Code
jubt revised by Judge Wade Keyes and fern
Wood, £sq. Tlie Legislature will attain be called
upon to rectify some errors in the Revenue Law.
They will also revise the law of residence and
registration, so aa to facilitate votins by those who
sbould not lose th^ir votes by reason ol unim-
portant conditions."

QUITJE CORRECT.
The Toronto Lcadtr of the 15th inst., ap-
parently unwittingly, eets at the exact fact in
the following: "Our friends across the border
are still in a state of suspense over the Frosidential
election, and we are now told that it cannot be
known till next Saturda.y who has been elected.
One dispatch tells us that the Democrats have ,
lost; and the next boldly asserts that the Itepubli
cans have won."

2,500 lii Paoifio Mail, and 1.900 in Bock Island.
Of tbe floctoatioiitt |t ia»7 ba said that Laka
Shore improved from 55^ to . S6^, oloainK
strong ; that Miohigan Central sold up trom
41 % to 425fe, reacted to ^ 42, ' and closed , a**
42^4 ; while St. Paul ' common ; declined'
trom 19V& to 18^4, closing at 18^ ;i
the preferred selling at 50Vi®49% and 5m®.
50\4 ; North-west declined from 34 to 32%, and
the preferred, after an advance from 68 to 58V4,
fclloflf to 57Vi, with the latest transaction at
57%. OhioB sold at 614 ®5% '816; Western Union
at72Mi®r2i%®72^; Eries at 10 ©9%; Paeifio'
Mail at 24% ®24M8 ®24% ; Wabash at %% ®6%,=
and Rook , Island at 99'*'3i99^'@99'>4. In
the coal shares. New Jei'sey Central
advanced from SSV* to 34%, fell off to 33%, and
closed at 34Vi, while Delaware, Lackawanna,
and Western, aftei rieinjc trom 7H4 to TlJJi, re-
acted to the opening fienre. At the close the
whole market was dull and still unsettled,
with a feeling rather in fevor of lower prices.
The money market was very easy throagh-
out the day, and Stock Exchange borrowers
supplied their requirements at 2'®3 *" cent.,
the former beine tho^ rate atthe oloie. Dis-
counts are unehanged. The national
bank notes reoeired at Washington for
redemption to-day amounted to $1,000,000. ,
The rates of exchange on New -York at tho
undermentioned cities to-day were: Savazmah,
buying, % off, selling, par to ^4 off ; Charles-
ton, easy, 5-16 to par ; St. Louis, par to 100
discount; Cincinnati, dull, 100 discount; ^ew-
Orleans, commercial %, bank ^4, and Chicago,
par.
The more warlike aspect of the Eastern oom-
;. plications had a depressing effect on the Lon-
don market for securities to-day, Consols open-
ing at 95^4® 95%, and closing at 95i* for money
and at 951* '®95\4 . for the aooount. U^tited
States bonds were about f* per cent,
lower and closed as follows : 18658, (old,) at
103\fe®103V4-. 18678 at 1085(4 ■© 108%, 10-408 at
107%®108, andnew58 at 106'^3106^. Erie
fell off to 9%, and closed at 9^4. The btdlion
in the Bank of England decreased £799,000
during the week ending yesterday, but the pro-
portion of reiserye to UabUities. wtuoh was last
week 541.4 ^ cent., is now M V cent. Th*
Bank of England rate of discount remains un-
changed at 2 F cent. The sum of £13,000
sterling waa withdrawn from the bank on bal-
ance to-day. The specie in the Bank of France
decreased 1.674,000 francs during the past
week. Bentes were steady at 104t.40c. ■®104£.45o.
The sterling exchange market was steady,
with business on tbe basis of $4 81^'® $4 82 for
bankers' sixty day, and at $4 83^4 ®|4 84 for de-
mand drafts. The supply of bills , making
against cotton shipmenta continoes large.
Speculation in the Gold Boom was weak at
the openine, and sales were made at 109%109^,
but the decline in Consols and the reported
sudden departure of Lord Beaconsfield from
Stratford to London, supposed to have same
connection with the troubles now agitating
Europe, led to. an advance in the prioe to 109%,
and the market displayed more animation dur-
ing the afternoon. At the dose s^es were made
at 109%. Cash Gold continues in good supply,
and the loaning rates to-dav ranged from 2V4
per cent, interest for carrying to flit.
Government bonds ope9ed weak, and . 18678
and 18688 showed a fractional decline, but the
market subsequently became firm and recov-
ered, in sympathy witii gold. Tbe demand ia not
especially active, but, on the other hand, the^e
are no large offerings of bonds. In railroad
mortgages the principal changes ;were in Ohio
and Mississippi, which advanced 6 ^ cent for
consolidated sinking funds, ^ 5 ^ ceni^ for do. ,

Section of 5,520 of the Eevised Statutes
of the United States, page 1,076, contains
these provisions of law :
" If two or more peraons in any State or Territo-
ry conspire to prorcBt by force, Intiii'dation, or
threat, any oitizon who is lawrillT entitled to vote,
from giving liis support or atTvecacy, in a4esal
manner, toward or in favor of the election of any
Iftwfnlly qnilifled person ax an Elector for Prctidmt
or Vice Preiident, or as a .member of the Coneress
of .the United Statog ; or to injare RTiy citizen in
person or vfoperiy on account of such support or
advoeaeu ; each of snch persons shall bo pnnished
l)y a fine of not leas than five hundred nor more
than^se (kousand dollars, or by imprisonment, with
or without hard labor, not less than six months nor
more than six years, er by both such fine and im-
nrisonm^nL"
The evidence isoverwholmina: that this law
has been violated and trampled upon in the
counties of Edgefield, Aiken, and BarnwoU,
in South Carolina, and in the Parishes of
East Baton Koujje, Ouachita, Morehouse,
Eaat Feliciana, and West Feliciana, in Lou-
isiana. Under the existing facts it is pre-
sumable that the Attorney General vnU. in-
struct the United States District Attorneys
and United States Marshals to take imme-
diate steps to bring the offenders to justice.
It is important that action should be taken
at this time because the legal investigation
which follows would throw much light upon
points and questions to be passed upon by
the Ketuming Boards of these two Southern
States^ _

' The representatives of the Bepublican
JParty who have gone to New-Orleans at the
^^requesteft^e President have sent a reply
|to the Demooratio invitation for conference
And }oint action. They point out veiy olear-
ty that the , Democratic circular is
l>aaed on a misapprehension of the
duties of the pnblio meai from
.the Nofrtk^who are awaiting the action
of the Bettiraing Board, That board must
twgvidedhy the simple and emphatic re-
iquircmestsof the Stat^ law, and* neither
iBepnblicans aor Democrats can interfere
rwith them in the discharge ef the duties
fvlucli that law imposes. The Republican
letter conveys a particularly seasonable re-
inundor to those "judicially-minded" Demo-
)cr*tB "who have assumed that the
!Eetaming Board will, as a ^matter
nf course, act unfairly, in the
itritement that "we know of no
t« aeon to doubt^tkat a perfectly honest and
^ost declaration, of the results of the election
win he made." fit is obvious enough, at least,
Quit any one w^ approaches the subject to
i)© reported on with his mind made up that
such a declaration is impossible, had better
harre staid at home.
We trust: that this letter will ireceive
from the-fKx>UBtry the careful attention
Which it deserves. Its positions are in per-
fect accord, with those already laid down in
these coJumns, and its citations from the
i*w gnifling the action of the hoard have
jbeem already given in Thb Times. But it
is a ^document whose every sentence
J»as ".'a direct • bearing upon questions
|whicli may agitate the public mind
for some time to come, and whose
*®**wung otight to command the
Iftsa^jOt of* every fair-minded Democrat as
fwell as oC'every earnest Bepublican. Here,
&ar example, is an appeal to the sober intel-
lij^nce, Jf such there be in the Democratic
Party:, "If there be any facts requiring
'the . judgment of the board upon
the validity of any election or re-
. tnms' as afTected by such frauds or
f Tiolemce, it would be a manifest interfer*
V ©nee with State rights and local self-gov-
|;;.«n».nent for persons like ourselves, without
official rights, to attempt to influence or
«QratiOl its, judicial action." And here is a
pP7..'egnant principle, worthy of remembrance
ftyboth parties: "If the duties of the
teanvasaing Board of Louisiana were
snereiy , ministerial or clerical, as
, In theii^ case of any officer charged
' ["by the law with the duty of verifying and
) deolaxing the result of any election or in-
ve8ti|;ation, with no discretion, as when the
Freaident of the Senate counts and declares the
90tai of (he Electors of the several States in the
. thaliwn of President and Vice President under
»*e ConsUtution of the Vnited States, a differ-
Wb case would be presented."
In the interests of a mjich-abused and de-
based language, we enter a protest against
the currency of the word " bull-doze." The
unhappy prominence which Louisiana has
acquired during this political crisis has pr^
cipitated upon the public this altogether
ridiculous and partially brutal word. In
the Arcadian regio,n8 of that Sfiate exists a
society known as "The Stop." It is
pledged to Tildkn and GReform. If a
negro is invited bo join it, and he
refuses, he la given fair warning, and
then, if still contumacious, he is taken
to the woods and given one hundred
lashes on the bare back. This is called a
bnll-dose, or a dose for a bull. The patient
has usually espoused the cause of Tilden
and reform after one such dose, or has fled
the country. From this phrase came the
verb, in the infinitive, " to bull-dozle," and
Louisiana dispatches, fully charged with
local color, speak of five "bull-dozled," or
"bull-dozed," parishes. Some uninformed
persons are printing this as " bulldoged,"
which, it seems to us, is adding insult to the
injury already heaped upon Ouachita, East
Feliciana, West Feliciana, Morehouse, and
East Baton Eouge.
Our special dispatch from South Carolina
tails attention to the fact that" the Board, of
State Canvassers have exercised, ever since
1868, the judicial functions of which the
Democrats are now seelting to deprive them,
that their powers in regard to contested
elections in counties have been recognized
by the Supreme Co art, and that their action
has, been declared by the same authority to
be ^al and not subject to review by the
C«urt8 or the Legislature. It should be
r<unembered that the Democratic lawyers in
South Carolina are trying to save the frau-
dalent xaajorities of Edgefield and other
counties for the sake of electing Hampton,
and not with any hope Vl saving their
Electfjral ticket. The fact that the Hayes'
electors have a majority of at least 1,000 on
the fjace of the returns, is' not denied by
Democrats, any more than that the Eetum-
Ing Board is confined to a merely clerical
eoont of the vote for Governor and Lieuten-
a-at Govemotis denied by Sepnblicans. But
this Ghibematorial vote must come before
the State House of Bepresentatives for can- I Louisiana aud
BLIND LEADERS OF TRE BLIND.
The prospect of an amicable adjustment
of difficulties in the thr^ disputed South-
ern States, and of the Ster-complicatlona
to which these difficulties may give rise,
would be dim, indeed, if the journals and
managers of the Democratic Party
were accepted guides of popular opin-
ion. We discover no' approach to
reason on -the part of any of them.
Having decided in their own minds that
certain results have been achieved, they
refuse to entertain statements of fact or
points of local and consticutional law which
militate against their preconceived conclu-
sions. Ex-Grov. Seymour, whose support of
Mr. TiLDKN was of the coldest and most
formal character, a^id Mr. Oswald Otten-
DOBPEK, whose zeal for reform within his
party has again, and again placed him in
antagonism to ^e more arrogant of its
leaders, are as dogmatic and irrational as
the least scrupulous of Mr. Tilden's hench-
men. The escapades of Mr. Watxeeson
excite no surprise. He is a newspaper
harlequin, whose vocation would be at an
end if he" were not allowed to play fantastic
tricks. Nobody felt or feigned surprise
when he, who was supposed to have gone to
New-Orleans in an extrar-judicial capacity,
thought proper to telegraph his verdict be-
fore a particle of the evidence had been
heard. Mr. Ottekdorfer, however, has a
difiereut reputation, which he owes to the
affectation of a tone more trutliful and ele-
vated than that which Tammany
tolerates. We supposed that he at
least would maintain a non-committal
attitude while performing -the duty assigned
to him by Mr. HEWiir. Whatever others
might do, he at any rate might have been ex-
pected to exclude partisanship from a judg-
ment which, to bo of any value, must be
formed after — not in advance — of the action
of the Louisiana board. And yet this very Mr.
Ottendorfer so far forgets what is due to
himself and the public as to follow Waitek-
son's example, and to telegraph to the
Siaats-Zeitung a partisan version of
the Louisiana case. He undertakes to tell
what the Returning Board -will decide, and
on what grounds it will decide ; and having
thus assumed what he could not possibly
have known, he pronounces the board " in-
accessible to reason or to moral pressure."
This model observer goes still further. He
adduces the support given by all but four
of the Northern States to tho Kepublican
candidate " as a proof of the readiness of a
majority of the [Northern ] people to sanc-
tion frauds and usurpations of the worst
kind." And crowning injustice with ab-
surdity, he characterizes the defeat of
the Democratic candidate which must
follow the • exclusion of fraud from the
Southern returns as " the grave of tho Re-
public." Apart from tho malignant folly
which could indite stuff like this, it is clear
that the " report " which Mr. OrrKNDOKFic u
promises will lack the impartiality
which alone could give it authority.
Not more reasonable is the talk of Mr.
Seymour, who seems to have visited Utica
for the purpose of being "interviewed" on
the situation. He, too, sees only the partisan
aspect of the matters in controversy, aud
accepts aa indisputable the very things that
are denied.
If, then, Messrs. Ottkndorfer and Sey-
MOUR, who have some reOutatiou to lo30,
are not ashamed' to approach in the spirit
of the rankest partisanship the knotty
queetionsvrhich are embraced in the ijend-
ing decisions of the Returning Boards in
Florida, we
Democratic crowd keep up the ^ senseless
cnes which for ten days past have served
them as substitutes for intelligent discus-
8io». They began bT falsifying the ascer-
tained and probable results of the vot-
ing, and, having claimed the election of
Mr. Tilde N, they have nothing "= but
epithets and imputations, threats and
bravado, for the edification and de-
light of their readers. They do not
pretend to argue the merits of the case.
They simply assert that if Mr. Teldkn be
<lefeated, it must be fraudulently. We will
not do them the injustitee of imagining that
they believe what they print. They are
partisans — not fools ; and their whole course
is designed for partisan effect. How far
they hdve succeeded in deluding the masses
of the Democratic Party in the large cities
we shall probably soon know. Only among
the mob can the seed they scatter have any
chance of taking root, and producing the
crop of mischief for which the demagogues
profess to look.
Upon othei: classes the effect is the op-
posite of that on which the JDemocratio
leaders have calculated. In ordinary cir-
cumstances, the closeness of a Presidential
Contest would excite no particular appre-
liensions. It might be tantalizing ; it
migfit, under certain conditions, beget im-
patience. But the habit vrhich Americans
possess of acquiescing cheerfully in elec-
toral lesults would divest the uncertainty
and delay of aU serious danger. Whether
the issue were to be determined to-moiTow
or a month hence would be a ques-
tion in no way affectitig their will-
ingness to accept the result with a
good grace. This habit the Republicans
have clung to in the present instance.
They have not manifested any disposition
to demur to the election of Mr. Tiujen, if,
after all, he really be elected. What they
have insisted upon is that the election
shall be an honest election,, and that, in
their judgment, Mr. Hayes has been hon-
estly elected. The question itself, they
say, must bo determined by figures and
scrutiny. The conduct of the Democratic
partisans is a marked contrast to this. And
their violent and pertinacious rejection of
contingencies pointing to Republican suc-
cess have introduced eleir»nts of evil
which have already operated disastrously.
Business is all but suspended. The im-
provement which had been reported from
nearly every quarter has been arrested.
Confidence, vs'hich had begun to show itself,
has once more disappeared. The financial
and industrial uncertainty from which the
country was emerging has been brought
back. Why? Not simply because the
election is in doubt, for at the most a few
days more Tvill solve the problem on which
doubt depends. The whole trouble arises
from the fact that, for the second time in its
history, the Democratic Party — or rather
the controlling forces of that party — will
not accept an electoral verdict at variance
with their plans. Out of this circum-
stance grow the only possibilities
of trouble that . exist. Whether
they ■ reveal themselves in riotous
mobs in New-Orleans, or in reckless parti-
sanship at Washington next February, they
have their root in the hostility to the au-
thority of law which is at this moment ap-
parent in the Democratic newspapers aud
in the conduct of Democratic leaders.
Here is the secret of the prostration and
distrust which have suddenly paralyzed
anew the operations of business ; and the
business men of the country, howe^x they
may have voted, know where to place the
responsibility for the injury unexpectedly
done to their interests.
The influence which these classes exer-
cise is, perhaps, the most effectual check
upon Democratic schemes of disturbance
consequent upon the defeat of Mr. Tilde n.
The politicians may rave and threaten.
They may strain their ingenuity in attempts
to provoke collisions between the House of
Representatives and the other branches of
the Government. But the manufacturers, the
importers, and the traders of the country are
on the side of order, and with them must
be the millions of workers to whom the ex-
ecution of the Democratic projects for frus-
trating the all. but certain result of the
election means the stoppage of their daily
bread.
THE DISQUALIFIED ELECTORS.
The provision of the Constitution by
which Postmasters are disqualified as Presi-
dential Electors is to be found in the second
paragraph of the first section of the Second
.Article. The language used is : " No Sena-
tor or Representative or person holding au
office of trust or profit under the United
States, shall be appointed an Elector." The
third section of the fourteenth amendment
of the Constitution contains a similar pro-
vision with reference to persons who, having
previously taken an oath to support the
Constitution of the United States,
shall have engaged
or rebellion against
given aid or comfort
mies thereof, and whose
in insurrection
the same, or
to the ene-
disability shall
not have been removed by a two-thirds vote
of Congress. Under these two clauses of
the Constitution, Postmasters and rebels not.
restored to eligibility by Congress cannot be
Pre.«iidential Electors. Now, it is held, with
curious persistency, by some of the Demo-
cratic writers, that where a person who has
received a majority of the votes cast for the
office of Elector is not eligible, some person
receiving the minority of the voted is elected.
The doctrine is clearly two-edged. If it
elects Democrats m place of Republican Post-
masters, it also elects Republicans m place of
Democratic rebels unpurged by a vote of
Congress. It is quite probable that Mr.
Hayes would gain more than Mr. Tilden
by such a construction of the law, and that
probability alone would suffice, as soon as
the Democratic writers get it through their
heads, to induce them to abandon it. But,
without reference to how it would affect
either party, we regard the construction
referred to as absurd, unjust, and mischiev-
ous ; it ia also opposed to the decision of tho
highest court in our own State, to which wo
now beg to call our readers' attention.
In the year 1872, a case came before tho
New- York Court of Appeals, whereiu a can-
didate for a Municipal office, who received
a minority of the votes cast, claimed pos-
session on tho ground, which was estab-
ILsiied, that Ms opponent was ineligible at
tho time of the election. The Court of Ap-
peals denied tho claim. It ruled that the
cannot wonder I majority candidate could not hold tho office,
of the minority, on the ground that the
DMJority had no such knowledge that
their candidate was ineligible as to make it
certain that they intended to throw their
votes away. The court said: "We think
that the rule is this : The existence of the
fact which disqualifies and of the law wiiich
makes that fact operate to disqualify, must
be brought home so clearly to the knowl-
edge or notice of the elector as that to give
his vote there with indicates an intent to
waste it. The knowlege mast be snch, or
the notice brought so home, as to imply a
willfulness in acting, when action is in op-
position to the natural impulse to save the
vote and make it effectual. He must act so
in defiance of both the law and the fact, and
so in opposition " to his own better knowl-
edge, that he > has no right to complain of
the loss of his franchise, the exercise of
which he has :wantonly misapplied." On the
application of this rule, the court decided
that " the defendant [the majority candi-
date] was disqualified from holding the of-
fice ; that his election was void, and con-
ferred upon him no title to his office ; that,
there being no proof of notice to the elect-
ors of such disqualification, nor of facts from
which knowledge or notice could b*e pre-
sumed, neither of the candidates acquired
title to the office, and the election was a
failure."
This, then, is the law in the State of New-
York. It is not binding, of course, in any
other State, and the effect of choosing an
Elector to vote for President and Vice
President who is not eligible, is in each
case a matter for decision by the law of the
State in which it occurs. But in the ab-
sence of any distinct provision on the sub-
ject, a decision by the highest court of New-
York would go a good way, and must have
weight. It shovirs, too, how the doctrine
advanced by our Democratic friends would^
be likely to strike an impartial court.
In neither ot the cases to
which we have alluded in the
beginning of this article, neither in that of
a Postmaster nor a rebel unrelieved of his
disabilities, can the voters be supposed to
have intended to waste their votes ; in
neither, therefore, following the New- York
doctrine, could a minority candidate take
the place of the majority one. Nor can it
be doubted that the New-York doctrine
is in all essential regards a just one, and
one which the common sense of the public
would unhesitatingly accept. The wish of
the majority is the basis of all elective action,
and it would be intolerable that that wish
should be defeated by an innocent error on
the part of the electors. The law guards
sedulously, at every point, the intent of the
voters, and does not allow it to be resisted
by any of the technicalities by which its
expression may be surrounded, or even by
the limitations which are placed upon its
direction. It may be enacted 4ibat when a
majority of voters vote for an ineligible
man, their votes shall not elect him,
but it cannot, therefore, be inferred
that they shall elect the very man
they were intended to defeat. The
history of politics, and, we regret
to say, that of legislation also, is only too.
full of instances where the form has been
held to control the substance ; but, happily
for the country, the Judiciary has invaria-
bly resisted this unhealthy and dangerous
tendency. The courts have steadily main-
tained the essence of the people's rights.
It will be a sorry day when, under the pres-
sure of political greed or passion, they con-
sent to a different course.

A CASTLE IN TEE AIR.
We may as well order our carriages, gloves,
and bouquets. We have the Grand Opera,
and what is more to the purpose, a Grand
Opera-house. The magician has waved his
wand, and, presto 1 the thing is done. In
Paris, under an •ffete Latin rule, they were
years building an opera-house. The foun-
dations were laid while Napoleon III.
was playing at imperialism in the
Tuileries. The last acre of gilding
was put on after several revolutions,
and while Frenchmen were trying to
convince themselves that they lived in a
Republic. We, the greatest people in all
creation, manage such things better. To
be sure, the New- York Court-house, (face-
tiously called ne\\,)ha8 cost untold mil-
lions, and is not done yet ; and the pile of
granite which Mr. Mullett has put up for
a Post Office is stiU a ghastly vision of in-
completeness inside. But Mr. Maurice
Strakosch, an adopted son of the Repub-
lic, whom all delight to honor, has built
our great opera-rhouse in a day. That tre-
mendous edifice, covering an entire block of
ground, crowned with an airy dome, and
filled with singing birds from every clime,
is finished and perfect. It occupies four-
fifths of a column of the Herald, fine type,
and is signed with the name of Maurice
Strakosch, architect. It is a triumph
worthy of Aladdin, Alnaschar, or any other
of those ingenious gentlemen who have
built castLcs in the air, or have conjured a
gorgeous fabric out of nothingness.
The opera-house, we are informed, is to
be 420 feet long and 200 feet wide. It is well
to be exact about such things, even when the
structure is in the air. It is much easier to
" make believe," as the Little Marchioness
would say, when you have real dimensions
before you. The site is that now occupied
by Baunum's Hippodrome, otherwise
known as Gilmore's Garden. The agile
elephant, the graceful hippopotamus, the
fragrant hyena, and the diffident Levy,
shall all give way to the melancholy tenor,
the afflicted soprano, the jovial basso, and
the gloomy baritone. Moody and Sankey
shall be succeeded by Capoul and Fauuk,
aud "Ah chela morto" quiver on the air where
""Hold the Fort" once cracked tho skylights.
It is done. The facade is to be
(or is) on Madison avenue, aud of
,'in imposing appearance. We are glad of
this. The public dearly loves a facade. If
it had been merely a frout or " a front-
ago " on Madison avenue, we venture to say
that the popular disappointment would
have been very great.
A facade boing_provided, with practicable
doors and windows, as the stage carpenters
say, our next solicitude is for the singers.
Having built our cage, (in four- fifths of a
column, fine type,) we must proceed to
catch the singing-birds. This, we are
proud and glad to say, is also done.
Mr. Strakosch informs us that tho
divine Patti has " formally promised "
to come over and sing beneath our sta^tely
pleasure-dome. French op4ra comique, the
real artvclA and not ondra houffc. is to be.
produced in the' new opera-house, aad Miss
Kkllogg is to be invited to make this glit-
tering structure "a home for a regular
English operatic season." ' We are getting
on swimmingly. Even the principal fea-
ture for the first season is announced, and
our readers will be rejoiced to know
that this is to be the performance of Wag-
ner's "Ring der Nibelungen." Moreover,
the house is to be " in the strictest sense an
international opera-house ;" and, since the
great German is to have a fair «hance with
his music of the future, Verdi and Gounod
have each promised to write new, special,
and exclusive operas for this truly inter-
national castle in the air.
For we must add that the stately pleas-
ure-dome, the imposing tagade on Madison
avenue, springing arch, groined ceiling,
architrave, iperistyle, and even the mimic
stage, are all in the air as^yet. For two
million dollars, issued in shares of one
thousand dollars each, this gorgeous dream
can be realized. Let this paltiy sum be
forthcoming, and the glorious fabric shall
rise over tho ruins of Mr. Barnum's saw-
dust "Palace of Enchantment," and the
places of the tatooed Greek nobleman and .
thri much-medaled Gilmore will know them
no more. Since two millions is so
much money, and the opera-house as
yet exists only in the ephem-
eral columns of a daily newspaper, perhaps
we need not order our carriages and gloves.
But let us hope that our modern Alnaschar
will not wake to find his dream of beauty a
heap of shattered glass. If the magician
shaD wave his wand to as mnch purpose as
he has ere now waved his baton, the walls
shall rise, and Vkbdi and GouNOD will not
write their operas for a palace in the clouds.
The money is not subscribed nor the founda-
tion-stone laid. Like Charles Lamb's
children, the singers are only dream singers,
the phantasy of a moment. Unless the citi-
zens put their hands into their pockets, Mr.
Stbakosch'8 opera-house will,
"Like this icsnbstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a wreck behind."
A VENOMOUS BEAST.
There are but four venomous beasts
among the fauna of the United States.
These are the rattlesnake, the copperhead,
the moccasin, and the Spitz dog, and of the
four, the latter is'by far the most aggresive
and deadly in its hostility to man.
About a year ago The Times called at-
tention to the fact that the Spitz dog is
ppculiarly subject to raVm. It was gener-
ally known that the Spitz is ill-tempered
and treacherous, but the animal's excep-
tional proclivity to going mad and distribut-
ing hydrophobia throughout the circle of
his acquaintance had escaped the notice of
naturalists. Since then every case of hy-
drophobia which has occurred in this City
or its vicinity has resulted from the bite of
a Spitz dog ; , and of the deaths from hydro-
phobia in this City alone, during the last
three years, there were only two which
cannot be ascribed with certainty to the
all-biting Spitz. If we compare the num-
ber of reported deaths resulting during the
same period of time in every part of the
Union, from snake-bites, it will be found
that the Spitz has slain more victims than
the rattlesnake, the copperhead, and the
moccasin combined.
These facts justify us in deciding without
any hesitation that rabies in this latitude
originates, in nearly all cases, in the Spitz
dog. Of course, he may bite other dogs,
and thus tempt them to madness, but it is
safe to say that if there had been no Spitz
dogs in New-York during the last three
years, there would have been at the furthest
not more than two cases of hydrophobia.
We have about every variety of dog among
our canine population j but while neither
the terriers, the hunting dogs, or even the
miscellaneous street curs have shown any
disposition to go mad, the Spitz -dogs have
devoted themselves with startling energy
to the work of thinning out the human
race by inoculating it with hydrophobia.
Were any of our citizens to insist upon
keeping pet rattlesnakes, and permitting
them to run at large in the streets, the law
would soon convince them of the propriety
of weaning their affections from creeping
things and setting them upon less danger-
ous pets. But the law, with what is now
seen to be a glaring inconsistency, allows
every man to keep a Spitz, although the
bite of the latter is far more dangerous
than that of the former. A rattlesnake's
bite can be cured by saturating the system
with whisky, but there is no cure for the
bite of a rabid Spitz. The ward politician
has, in this respect, an advantage over tho.
Son of Temperance. When the fatal Spitz
strikes him with his fangs, there is no
remedy which can save them from a horri-
ble death. ,
It is understood that the Spitz attempts
to defend his conduct by assorting that he
is an Arctic dog, and that our warm climate
exasperates him to madness. There is this
much to be said in his behalf, that he did
not voluntarily immigrate to this country.
Twenty years ago he was a fashionable dog,
and no carriage was hold to be complete
which was not furnished with a Spitz dog,
snarling on the front seat. In those days
hydrophobia was almost unknown, bnt as
soon as the Spitz had multiplied himself, so
as to be commou and worthless, hydropho-
bia assumed its present terrible fre-
quency. If we had left the brute in the
Arctic region 8, either he would not have gone
mad, or else he would have confined himself
to biting the casual E.squimaux, or thia in-
frequent Arctic explorer. Now, that he is
here, the public is .-ill before him where to
bite, and he improves the opportunity by
biting every eligible leg, without distinc-
tion of SOX, color, or previous condition.
Not only does ho thus inflict an appalling
amount of misery upon mankind, but he in-
directly injures the character of other dogs
of hitherto unsullied reputation. In the eyes
of many people, who have not the privilege
of an intimate acquaintance with respecta-
ble dogs, a Spitz does not differ from any
other dog, and instead of perceiving that
the Spitz alone is addicted to ralnes, they
assume that all dogs are equally dangerous.
Thus, the hardy Scotchjterrier, who is im-
bued with the sternest Calvinistic princi-
ples, and who would as soon adopt Sabellian-
ism, and bark at a bust of John Knox, as
go mad and bite his master, is actually
classed with the degraded aud.wicked Spitz,
and the whole dog creation is made to suf-
fer for the sins of a smgle reprobate family.
There are not wanting signs that the pri
vate can of the Spitz ia. Aoarly. fulL
sically, he is » worthless. He cannot hunt ;
he refnses^elconsider the important sub-
ject ef rats, and his tail utterly refuses to
respond to the misplaced affection which is
lavished upon him.' Neman was ever made
better and purer by the companionship of a
Spit:;. No man ever found in him the least
true consolation and : sympathy. He is
misanthropic, malicious, and usele^; and
if we can truly judge^a man b^the dogs
with whom he associates, the keeper of a
Spitz is deficient in those qualities which
secure the respect and love of high-toned
and intelligent dogs. The public 'has only
to be fully convinced of the dangerous'
character of this unattractive brute to insist
upon his immediate and thorough extermi-
nation.
The facts as to the monopoly of rahieis in
which the Spitz in this climate indulges are
within the reach of all. Tbey should be
made the basis-of an act of the Legislature,
directing the immediate slaughter-ef every"
Spitz dog in the State, and punishing, by a
heavy fine, the importation of a Spitz from
any other State or country. The few mis-
guided persons who are the accomplices of
this noxious beast cannot have their per-
verted tastes gratified at the cost of the.
safety of the whole community. The Spitz
and the rattlesnake deserve nothing but ex-
termination, and w^hen the former has com-
pletely disappeare.d and hip place has been
taken by dogs full of sweetness, light, and
gifted with calm, well-balanced minds, we
shall hear no more of hydrophobia, and shall
have no pretext for the annual St. Bartho-
lomew dog massacre which disgraces our
City every Summer.

THB SCENE WHEN THE TRUTH WAS
KKOWN— RIFLK8 AND MUSKETS TALKED
ABOUT— GOOD WORK OF THE REPUBLI-
CANS.
To the Editor of the New- TorJt Times :
I write to you from the very hot-bed of Penn-
sylvania Democracy; from a section where
it is said some of tha people still think
they are voting for Andrew cTacfrson; where,
during the rebellion, one-fonrth of the
able-bodied men who would not fight for the Union,
and who remained at home, wenld have exultantly
received Gen. Ltfe and his Army had they
been so far snccessfai as to have reached Berks
County daring the invasion of Pennsylvania; where'
the assaeaination of Abraham Lincoln was greet«d
with emUes; and where, assertions are now made
publicly that if Samuel J". Tilden Is not inangnrated
President on the 4th of : March next, peaceablv, r
there are thousands who will aid to 'put him in
power by force. I do not make i these assertions
lightly or witbont proof, '. bnt with , the
sure confidence that .almost'; every. Eepabli-
can and many Democrats ]^ wUl hear me
out, ( and In many others . that'' I might
make, were it necessary, to show the true character
ot most of our ignorant p^ple. Nowhere in the
country, unless in l^e disputed StatesW; of
the South, was the late eampaisn 'waged ^'with more
ea'mestness or with the party lines mere strictly
drawn than ia this county; and nowhere to-day do
the Democracy imite in making more threats than'
they do here in case the Presidential contest is set-
tled by Mr. Haves assamlng the Presidency. So re-
joiced were the Democrats in this city on the
niorning after the election, when the -victory •was
conceded to Mr. Tilden, that they- engaged a band
of music Cpr the entire day and paraded the streets
from early da-wn -011111 late In the afternoon, -far-
ing transparencies and brooms, and freely distribu-
ting " Salt £iver " tickets. MiiTohing to the Post
Office, Internal Bevenue Collector's : ofSce, ana
others, they swept about the ^oora, indicative«f the
"house-oleaning" which they proposed « to, do.
They had picked out who was to be the next Post-
master, and who were t« fill the other G«Temment
offices; but late in the afternoon, when the picture,
began to wear a different aspect, there was a
change in the scene. The streets became
crowded with people of both par-
ties, and business •was entirely ^ jaus-
'pended, and it remained so during all the rest of
the week . On Thursday morning the Bepoblicans
still remained gloomy until the arrival of the New-
York papers, and then, when Thb Tiheb was read,'
the -wildest enthusiasm prevailed. Since then- the.
Republicans look for no better authority^ and to-
day they "hold the fort" until The Tikes shall jta-
sert that they are defeated. Upon its reports 'is,
the greatest confidence based, and should the offi-
cial count of the centestei S.tat«B assert our "Vic-
tory, as we all hope for, The Toies will n($t only,
havO'Sained numerous nsw snbsorihers among pur
best citizens, hut a laurel worthy ot the highest
praise due to legitimate Jonmalism.
The result of the election here fell short of Dem-<
ocratlc estimates, and the Eepublioass have scoom-t
pllshed a feat never before aobievei by them since
their partv has been organized. They have elected
one of their candidates to the Legislature by a ms-.
jonty of 720 over one of the Democratic candidates
in this city, so that for the first time in our history
one of the mesibers of the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture from Berks County wiU'be Bepublican. The
official vote of the county givea the Democrats a
mnjority of 7,591 for Tildsn. Tilden's majority in
Beading was . 529 over Haves, and 10 over
both Hares ^ and Cooper, the latter re-
ceiving 219 votes in the city, mostly taken,
from the Bepublican ranks. .A heavier vote was.
never before . polled In Beading. Out of the nine-
teen precincts, not two hundred reAtered votes
were lost. In some precincts the voce was brought
out almost to the man. To show how Mr. Hiester
Clymer, candidate for CoDgress, lb appreciated at
his own homw. I will state that the cltv gave Tilden
229 majority ; Clymer fell behind his ticket 22s ; and
whUe Tilden's maloriiy over both the Bepublican
and Independent veto was 10, Clymer received 330
votes less than these two candidates ; so that tt Is
plain that if he had not ;the monster Democratic
power of the county to help him, although he
there, too, fell behind his ticket, he could not be
^elected.
The Times' editorial of last Friday, showing how
Democracy predominates In the dlsticls of New-
York Cliy where ignorance and crime reside, holds
good in this section also ; for the Ninth Ward, here
termed ' Hounds' Ward," and Tenth Werd. termfd
" IrishtowB," are the two strongest Democratic'
w.ir(l8 of the city, and the wards also in which re-
side our lowest and vilest population. The same
can be said of Windsor township, in this county,
where only a few new.spapers are received, and
tnoy being copies of the German Democratic AcUer-
of this city, which the soldiers during the war
threatened to barn out for its disloyal sentiments.
The Mennonitts, however, of the neighboring
County of Lancaster, astonished the Democracv of
BerksCooiity by rolling up a larger majority for
Hayes and wheeler than was ever before kno'wn to
that county. The Bopublicaa majority was over
7,700 ; while tho Democratic ticket feU behind its
lormer record.
The utterances of some of the hot-headed Demo-
crats of this section, while tbey are dlsgraoofal and
revolutionary in their character, are not only
calamitous to their own party, so far as sensible
men are conceriied, but a shame to tbooistlves,
which they will sooner or later have to acknowledge.
Among tho moat decent of those tfiroats, such as
these may be meutioued: "If Tilden Is nor given
the rresidencj' by fair means, we will fleht to- have
him put there by other." "We would rather
shoulder arms to day to fight against the
Northern Abolitionists than we would against tho
South if they once more attempted to stand up for
their rights." A prominent Democrat, who claims
to have held a Lieutenancy under McClellan,
and who was one of the recent reception committee
to receive that gentleman in this city on th^ occa-
siouof the great ■•Buffo JRonst," says that he will be
rendy at any moment to shoulder a rifle, and, if
uiuat be, to "prevent Hsh'es from taking the Presi-
dential chair. These utterances are exactly similar
to those expressed at she time Abraham Lincoln
was first inaagurated, afid these are the same men
who cherished a deep grudge against Tfaaddeus
Stevens for tl^ introduction of the common scbeol
system. The Union Central Club, a Bepublican
campaign organization, numbering 250 member^ ati
voters, formed shortly before the election, with Mr.
P. Ellwood Baum as President, have resolved to
make their orcanization a permanent one. Their
iniluence had a most beneficial effect duiiug the
campaign, its members working like heavers for the
cause of the Union, and already saroral Democrats
have Joined their ranks. The orB^iiaft^n is com-
posed of some of the best aud wjsiAmMM citizens of
tho city. Almost to a man (tHioe atMratkotuiers
and business men of this oiti(' t^otee OTsr the Be-
publican victor.v.

And yet
these shot-(;an i>olitioiaas expect the North to
believe that this vast minority has been over-
•ome in a fair and free election I Tbey think
thi^ the North will balieve that in a district
where the netrroes outnumber the white men
more than three to one, and wbere the Bepiub-
IkMUk voters, in 1872, oatnombered the Demo-
eratie voters more than six to ene, the emanci-
pated race has turned its back on the party of
Abraham Lincoln and deliberately cast its
ballots for a eonspiouous leader of the Fort
Pillow massacre t As Mr. Suomsr remarked of
the word "swindle," we may say of the phrase
■^too thia"— it is n«t yet " stoiotioned by olassi-
m1 nsacet" but it is remarkably expressive. It
leems to fit this pretense as accurately as if it
Wul been molded for it.

Every strong nation, like- every strong man.
^ Mr. Bunsby, if I remember rightly has re-
Btarkad,) is distinguished by some one pre-
SBoinent trait of oharaeter — as aaobility, the
French-, Immobility, the English ; dignity, the
Bpanish; qnick-ailverishness,tbalrish; caution,
the Seoteb, and thoroughness, the German.
What Is the distinguishing cikaraoteristic of the
Amerioant Is it magnanimity or iorgetfal-
aeas f No nation was ever so generous to a
SaCwted fbe» and no nation ever showed such a

AndersouviUe and Fort Pillow. It was divine
to forgive ; but it is madness to forget — until
tbe eolpcits repent. These shot-jcun leaders
have made the kindly North believe that the
Bepnblieans have invented stories of outrage in
the South against the blacks and against the
white Unionists, in order to keep alive the
spirit of sectional hatred for selfish partisan
purposes. The old cry of " Bleeding Kansas" —
devjasd to east suspision on the reports of the
wnmgs of the free-State squattersr—
baa been = supplemented, by ^ tbe same
misereanta by the ory of " the bloody shirt."
Ithasbeen tooe£Eisotive. It has drowned the
sighs of the white Unionists and the dying
groans of the black freedmen. But now, at
laat, the Nordi has been brought face to face
with a paril whieh compels it to give an ear to
endMiee. It is not the North new that '^aves
the bloody shirt." The rebels gain a led by
Sootii Carolina and Mississippi, defiantly
flannt the bloody garssents of . slaughtered
loyaiists before our eyes. Well, we most look

be to sentimental scholars, who know all

vn.
What was the Fort Pillow massaere T Hon-
irettsot thousands who voted in November
hare never read of it. It is only a misty tradi-
tion to them. 1 Let us take a quick glance at it.
Fort Ffllow '•' is situated on tbe MiBsissiopi
Biver about seventy miles below Memphis. On
the 12th of April, 1864, its garrison consisted of
19 <^cers and 538 enlisted men, of whom 262
were colored troops. M%jor Booth was the rank-
hig officer. A demand was made by Gen. Forrest
tor the nneonditional surrender of the tort.
. Our officers determined to " hold the fort"
Eazlv en the morning of tbe 12th of April, our
[ftekets were driven in. The assault was made
by Gen. Chaimers* division. Forrest led Bell's
bngade, and Chalmers led MoCullooh'a brigade
in person. About noon our forces withdrew
Brom their " intrenohments and occupied the
fort. One of the most conservative historians
Vf the dvi) war writes :
"Aboit one o'clock, the fire on both
aides slackenod somewhat, and the gunboat
moved out tn the river to cool and
elean the guns. The rebels having thus
failed in their attack, resorted to the customary
flass of' truce, llie first flag oonyeyed a de-
mand firom Gen. Forrest for the unconditional
surrender of the fort To this Mt^or Bradlord
replied, asking to b« allowed an hour to consult
with bis officers and the officers in command of
the gunboat In a short time a second fiag of truce
appeared with a communication from Gen.
Forrest He would allow Mnjor Bradford
twen^ minutes in which to move his troops
But of tbe lopt, and, if it was not done, an as-
lault would be ordered. To this, Major Brad-
tord replied tliat he would not surrender. Im-
medlatelv alter the second flag of tmee retired
the rebels made a rush from tlu pontions they
\ad treaeherotuly gained while the flagt of truce
tere tent in, and obtained posBessiuu of the
tort raising the cry of 'No quarter 1' But
ittle opportunity was allowed for resistance.
rhe Federal troops, white and black, threw
9own their arms, and Boueht to escape by jrun-
sing down the steep bluff near tbe
taken hfhind him on a hor$e,vftu teeh ^Chalmers,
tehoat onee ordered the officer to put him down
und t/koot htm — which teas done,
" ITie huts and tents m which many of the
wounded sought shelter were set oh fire, botti
tbat night and next morning, while the wound-
ed were still in tbem, thojse only esoapinjj who
were able to get out themselves, or who could
prevail on others, less injured than themselves,
to help ' them oat; and even some ot them,
thus seeking to fwsape the flames, were met by
these raflBans and brutally shot down or had
their brains beaten out Oite maai was deliber-
ately fastened downlto the floor of a tent, by
means of nails driven through his olothi^iK and
into the boards under him. so that be could not
possibly escape, and then the tent was set on
fire. Another was nailed to the side of a
building, outside of the fort, and then the
buildiniz was set on fire and burned. Ihe
charred reioains ot five or six bodies were af-
terward found, all but one iso much disfigured
and oonstti&ed oy the flames that they could
not be identified, and the identification of that
one is not absolutely certain."
IX
" These deeds of cruelty and murder closed
when night came on only to be renewed the
next momine:. when the demons carefully
sought among tbe dead lying about in all direo-
tious for any other wounded yet alive, and
those they killed-VScorea ot the dead and
wounded were founff there the day after the
massaore by the men from some of our gun-
boats who were permitted to go on shore and
collect the wounded and buiy the dead. The
rebels themselves had made a pretense of bury-
ing a great man.v of their victims, but they had
merely thrown them, without regard to care or
decency, into the trenches and ditches about
the fort, or the little noUows and ravines on
the hill-side, covering them but partially witl»
earth. Portions of heads and faces, hands and
feet were found protruding throuuh the earth
in eve^y direction, even when your committee
visited the spot two weeks afterward, although
parties of men bad been sent 6n shore from
time to time to bury the bodies unbui-ied and
rebury the others, and were even then engaged
in the same work."
X.
•' We found evidences of this murder and
cruelty still more painful. We saw bodies atiil
unbuiied at some diacance from the. fort of
some sick men who had been fleeing from the
hospital and beaten down and brutally
murdered, and tneir bodies left whore they
had fallen. We could see the faces and hands
and feet of men, white and black, protruding
out of the ground, whose graves had not been
teached by those engaged ia reinterriug the
victims of the massacre ; and although a great
deal of rain had fallen -within the preceding
two weeks, the ground, more especially on the
side at the foot ot the bluff, where the most of
the murders bad been committed, was still dis-
colored bv the blood of our bravo but un-
fortunate men, and the loga and trees showed
but too plainly the evldencea of the atrocities
perpetrated there. Many other Instances of
equally atrocious cruelty might be enumerated,
but your committee feel compelled to refrain
from giving here more of the heart-sickening
details. * * * These statements were ob-
tained from eye-witnesses and sufferers. Many
of them, as they were examined by your com-
mittee, were lying upon beds of pain and sut-
feriUR ; some so feeble tbat their lips could
with difficulty frame the Words by which they
endeavored to convey some idea of the cruelty
which had been infiioted en them and which
they had seen inflicted on others.
XI.
^ " How many of our troops thus fell victims
to the malignity and barbarity of Forest and
his followers cannot yet be definitely ascer-
tained. , *
'* Of thQ men, from three hundred to four
hundred are known to have been killed at Fort
Pillow, of whom at least three hundred were
murdered in cold blood after tJie fort teas in pos-
geaaion of the rebels, and our men had thrown
doum their arms and ceased to offer resistance.
"'Inoreference to the fate of Jlajor Bradford,
who wa¥ in command of the fort when it was
captured, and who had up to that time re-
ceived no injury, there seams to be no doubt.
The general understanding every where seewed
to be that he had been brucahy muidered the
day alter he was taken prisoner. * * *
Mr. MoLo'gan testifies that while two com-
panies of rebel troops, with Major Bradford
and many other prisoners, were on their march
from Brownsvilfe and Jackson, Tenn., Major
Bradford was taken by five rebels, one an
officer, and deliberately murdered in view of
all those assembled. He fell, killed mstantly
by three musket balls, and while asking that
his life might be spared, as he had fought tbem
manfully and was d^8erving_ of a better fate.
The motive for the murder of Major Bradford
seems to have been tbe simple fact tbat,
although a native of the South, he remained
loyal to his Government."
XIL t
Enough of the ghastly spectacle. But let us
see whether Gen. Cbaltners — now claiming to
represent the most densely-populated negro
district in the South— did not repudiate or
deny or " depireoate" these outrages. Perhaps
he could not control his men !
On page 105 of the Eeport on the Fort Pillow
Massacre, [H. of R. Re]»ort No. 65. 33th Con-
gress. Ist session,] two of our officers testify:
"Mi^or Anderson. Forrest's Assistant Ad-
jutant General, jsiated that they did not con-
sider colored men as soldiers, but as property,
and, as such, being used by our people, they
had destroyed them. This was concurred in by
Forrest, Chalmers, and McCulloch, and other
officers."
Paymaster William B. Purdy fp. 89] testifies :
" Q. — Had you any conversation with one of
Gen. Chalmers' aids about their conduct 1
A — Yes, Sir ; with one who said he was an
Aid de Camp to Gen. Chalmers and a Captain
in the Second Missouri Cavalry. He told me
that they did not recognize negroes as United
States soldiers, but would shoot them and show
them no mercy — neither the negroes nor their
officers."
This was after the massacre.
Dr. Chapman Underwood testified;
" Chalmers snid that he would tre.at him
as a prisoner of war, but that they would »ot
treat as prisoners of war the 'home-made
Yankees,' meaning the loyal Tennesseeans."
And Gen. Chalmers was no threatoniuix the-
orist ; be was true to tlie demon faith that was
m him.
John F. Bay testified :
"I saw a rebel Lieutenant take a little negro
boy upon the horse behind him, and then I
heard Gen. Chalmers — I think it must have
been — tell him to 'take that negro down and
shoot him.' or, ' take him and shoot him,' and
he passed him down and dhot him.
Q. — How large was the boy ?
A. — He Vas not more than eight vears old;
I beard the Lieutenant tell the otlier that toe
negro was not in the service; that he was

To the Editor of the- New- York Times:
In your excellent review of the new peem
"Deirdr6," recently published in Boston, your re-
viewer riehtly mentions the rumor that the writer
is a Dr. Joyse, of that ci.y. He is iu^error, how-
ever, In sssummg the A>mtrican authorijhip of the
poem. In this case tbe "American anthor" hails
from Limerick, and carries with him certain cre-
dentials in the ehape of a rich, melifluous, but un-
fashionable utterance, which was never formulated
outside of the green island. Dr. Robert Dwyer
Joyce (his fail name) has been in this country some
nine or ten years, and fellows his profession in Bos-
ton. He is a aradnate of the Queen's College, Cork,
Ireland ; has been a contribuior to the Dublin Na-
tion and Irishman, and to the lT<»h People which
was suppressed by the British Government, and
holds, probably, the most conspicuous place of all

THE BILLIARD CEAMF10N8HIP.
THE DELANEY EMBLEM WON BY JOSEPH
• DION, FROM ALBERT GARNIER, BY A
6CORE OF COO TO 495. ,
The contest at billiards last night between
Albert Garnier and Joseph Dion for the Delauey
emblem, representing the national championship,
and $1,000, brought together a good-sized audience,
among whom many ladies were noticeable. 'This
was the fifth regalar contest for the medal, which
was first won by Vlgnani at the Fall tournament
of 1874, and afterward forfeited by him to Gamier,
who in turn forfeited it to Manrioe Daly. Cyrille
Dion challenged Daly, and, winning the emblem, was
soon alterward himself challenged by Garnier, to
whom the medal again passed'by forfeit. Josenh
Dion then challeuged bim and tbe gams was played
last evening, as above stated. It consisteo, accord-
ing to the rules of tha National Congress, by
which i contests lor the emblem are governed,
of 600 points, French caroms, and was
played en a 5 by 10 Griffiith <Sc Co.'s table,
with Delaney's wire cushions. Mr. John Gleason
was selected to act as referee, Mr. Louts Gnillet
acting as umpire for Dion and Mr. George Prav as
umpire for Garnier, with Mr. Wilmarth as mark-
er. Game was called at 8:30 o'clock, the players
stringing for lead. Dion won and selecting the
white ball led off with an 0. Garnier followed with
a neatly played rnn of IB failing on an easy fine cut
and cushion. Both contestants played with ex-
treme caution and showed an unusual degree of
nervousness and tor some length of time the play
was ordinary. In the ninth inning, however, Gar-
nier began to pick up rapidlv and by careful play
brought Tho balls neatly together at 30 on the top
cushion. He bngan a careful "nurse" and chang-
ing them to the right hand cnsb'on broke •them
with the flfty-Hrcond shot. He did not again get
them together nntiUtbe sixty-fourth shot, which left
tbe three balls in a line. He failed to count
a cushion-ahot, and his opponent fared ne hetter. the
score at the cud of tne tenth inniuiuu- standing, Dion
23, Gamier 121. The tW9 following innings tailed to
uoaDge this state of affairs, but in the twelfth in-
ning 13ion got the balls into nice po.sition on the side
cushion; and with a delicate magse brought them
before biro. He then be«au " nursing" them gently
toward the end of fhe table, and with the twentieth
shot " iroze" them, and then tailed to score 'from
the spot. From this ooint until the twentieth in-
ning both pliiyers exhibited very poor play. At
that time, Dion, by neat plav, added a run of 34 to
his score, passing bis first hnndre<?, tbe string
at tne end of the ' inning showing
Dion 108, Gcrnier 133 In tbe next
inning Diun made 10, going out oii a bank shot, and
his ODPonent, alter scoring two points, played a
careless "Wraw" and retired. In the twenty-fourth
inning Dien, by careful manipulation, succeeded in
adding a- well-played run of 83 to his score, Dassing
his opponent, who was by tins time so nervous that
he could 8\:arcely play. With the thirty-second
shot he got the balls nicely set on the rigbt-han'l
cushion and began "nursing" them to the upper
end of the table, turning the corner with the fifty-
sixth shot and continuing th^ "uurae'' across the
top of tbe table to tbe end of the run. In tbe
thirty-second Inning Garnier, .who, bv thia
time began to show some improvement, rolled
up a neat run of 44, and then attempted
a masB6, which, although- very close, the r«reree de-
cided did not count. The game now stood— Dion,
233; Garnier, 247. At the opening of the next in-
ning the balls scattered badly tor Di,on, but a few
masterly tenches bronght them together on the
upper end cushion, and he began a wonderful
"nurse," taking them all around the tabic, and not
breaking the ''set" nniil he had scored 146 p.iluts.
Three more shois. and tbey were again together on
the lower end of the table, and the rnn was closed
at 179. Garnier followed with 12, and the string
showed — Gamier, S59; Dion, 412. During tbe next
twenty-four innings, the hijihosc runs scored were
17 by Dion, and 10 by Garnier. By' this time the
play had become very wearisome, and many of tbe
spectators left the hall. Both players, however,
soon began to recover their lost prestige by good
play, and in the fifty-eighth Inning Dion added
another run of 65 to his score, which was followed
by Garnier in the next inning with one of 25. In
tbe si}Lty-s«cond inning the latter played some ex-
cellent gathering shots, and gettin;; tne bails well
together, played tnem for 31, when they "froie,"
and weie spotted. He made a conntlBi* stroke, and
ountluaed the run nnt|l he had scored 77 points.
Tuis, however, was only prolonging the agony, for
it was now gsnerally conceded that Dion would win
tbe game, which be did with a run of 3 in the sixty-
ninth inning. Appended is the score:
Dion— U, 1. 2, O, 14, 3, 0, 3, 0, 0, O. 20, 0, 1, 2. 12, 2,

MISS MARSHALL'S PEDK8TRIAN1SM.
Last week, for eix days, and nights, Miss
Mary. Marshall an^ Miss Bertha Von Hillern tasted
their attillties as pedestrians in this City, and
Miss Von Hillern proved the more endur-
ing. Miss Marshall, however, believing tbat
her pnysioal powers had not been taxed
to their utmost, issued a challenge, on
Monday last, to Mr. Peter L. Van Ness, a Philadel-
phia pedestrian, or any other man, to engage with
her in a walking match that should continue for
three nights. Van Ness accepted the challenge,
and it was arranged that he and Miss Marshall
should walk twenty miles on each night, for $500 a
side, and that the winner on two nights sQonld
be the victor in the match. The competition
was begun last night at the Central Park Garden.
The peaestriana atarrert together at 7:04 o'clock.
Neitner appeared di-airous to make very last time.
After Miss Marshall had walked two or three laps
It, becams evident that she was lame. As Van
Ness walked alter }he first two miles it became ap-
parent also that he conld spurt and make
vpiv fast time foi* short d'stanceg, but had only
silght powefd of endufoinoe. At i,he end of the eighlh
miles he had to retire for relreshnient. Tho fastest
time he bad made was ten minutes. Miss Marshall
wnlked steadily on and oompleied her tenth mile at
9:27 P. M., two hours and twenty-lhree minutes
from the time of beginning. Her best time
was 1301. 158., and her average was
14m. 3i- As Miss Marshall comnloted the fir.st
h.ilf of the t.isk, Van Ness reappeared on tte track
after a rest ot twelve minutes. He started off
bri.ikly, urgea forward by his trainer, and raade'^is
nlni h "mil« in Oai. 45,s. He spurted while making the
tour miles immediately following, but did not make
remarkable time. At 10:19^ o'clock ho again
li'ft the course to- rest. Upon returning he
walked twp miles, and then went oft for a third
nuiB. Miss Marshall, however, continued to move
steidily, thnugh slowly, onward, and had almost
finished eighteen miles when her competitor came
upon the track to take up his task tor the third
time. From that time she had the assurance of
victory, and at 12:15 o'clock crossed the mile goal
line for the last lime, one mile and eignt laps iij^ad-
vauce of Van Noas. She won througa her remark-
able powers of endurance. For five hours and
eleveu minutes alie w^iiked without resting, and
kept up a remarkably steailv pace.

RAN AWAY FROM HOME.
A TOUNG LADY WITH AN IMPULSIVE TEM-
PKRAMEJST — SHE DISAPPEARS FROM HEB
FATHER'S HOUSE— EFFORTS OP THE
POLICE TO CAPTURE HER.
During the present week considerable inter-
est has been displayed throughout the PoIiSTo De-
partment in the search for a missing young lady
who left her home on Saturday last, uid has not
since been seen by her relatives or friends. The
services of a number et the Central Office deteetlves
have been enlisted m the sesrcb, aad tbey have
been aided i#their efforts to find her by advertlse-
ments in all the papers in this City and in the prin-
cipal cities of the United States. The advertise-
ment reads as follows : ,
'• Left her home on Saturday, Nov. 11, a yeungladv.
aged tifte-u, about five feet and one inch high, dark
blown eyes, very nark brown hair, dark complexion,
Keneiajiv of n iileasin^ appearance. When she left
home she was dressed in a dark brown woolen dress,
with a faint white check, plain black cloth sacque,
round turbaL, mown straw nat, trimmed with plain
lirown velvet. Any iniormatlon concerning her given
to tne Superintendent cr the Police will be thankfully
received by her irieuds."
The young Jady is represented aa being very
beaatiful and highly accompllsfaed, and being an
only daughter was very much petted and allowed
to have almost every wish gratified. She is of a
very impulsive temperament, and when thwarted
she was apt to feel herself greatly aggrieved. On
Saturday last she was invited to a social nartr
at the house of an acquaintance, and intended to
go there with a young lady with whom ehe was, in-
timate. Her father, however, refused to give his
permission to go to the party, and the young girl
retired Irom his presence Ina »ulk. Sho left her fath-
er's restdencein East Forty-fifth street thatevening,
without making her intention known to any person
m the house, and without taking even a change of
clothing. As she did not return during the night,
her,fri«l)d8 naturally became alarmca at her abseace.
The houses of her fiiends and acquaintances were
visited, but she had not been tu any of them, and
no trace of her could be obtained. It
was feared that smarting under the re-
fnsal of her lather to allow her to go to
the party she had rushed down to the
river and committed suicide. The aid of the Police
was invoked, and Superintendent Walling gave the
friends of the missing girl every aid in his power.
No tidings of her were obtained until Monday,'
when it was learned that a young girl answering
her description applied for lodgings at St. Barna-
bas Home, in Mulberiy street, next door to Police

whom sne staved suspected that she was the miss-
ing young lady, and telegraphed to Superintendent

lieved that she had become convinced of her folly
and intended to return home, but she has not car-
ried out this intention, if she enteriaiued it.

Mild then went to Meeker's jewelry store, in Siitb
tiavenae, where we asked to tee a tray of Jewelry,
•nd she was looking at it for about half an hour ; I
noticed tbat she fancied diamond ear rings worth
t»t>out 9300, bat I was not willing to spend so much
Douoyon her, and I selected this ring, now banded
me. whicii I parubased for her for t30 ; it was too

I had to be reduced lu size ; from Meeker's we
iwent te the oars in Thirty-Fourth street, and she'

Friday at 1 oolook;"
Friday was the 22(1, but the appointment waa
postponed until the 26th.
Q.— Look at this letter and see if it is a letter yoa
received by mail I A.— I received this letter by
mail, and it waa before the appointment tor Friday ;
it was written on the aame day ; the letter ia in ber
handwriting ; she told me so herself afterward.
The letter ia aa follows:
Fbidat Morning :
■Jvandel Valle: , ^
Dbah Fribnd : This hoirible weather -stJH preclude
the possibility of my setfinK you again to-day. I am
very sorrv for I have so many things to tell you, but
suob is lite. Mnn proposes and Ood disposes. I cannot
now see yon before next Tuesday at 1 o'clock, should
you deem it necessary to write to me. a line addressi'd
to Uiss Howell, care of John Krank. Seventh street and
First avenue, will reach me. Your friend. KDQISKIK.
I did not write to her again before seeing her on
the36tb;.Ikept the appointment on Taesday at 1
o'clock ; -w-e met at the same place, opposite Stew-
art's, and went from there to Solari's restRurant ;
she told me she was a teacher of French, EuglLsh,
aad mnsic, and she said she would teach me Eng-
liab I she used to give me phrases in English, which
I waa in the habit af repeating ; tbat meeting laated
until 3:30 o'clock, and tben I saw her to Astor
place, ao that she might take a oar and go home.
Q. — Did you meet anybody that day 1 A. — At the
Sorner of Astor place and Broadway she intro-
noed me to a tall, fine-lookine eentieman, whose
name I think was Mr. Cramer ; they talked together
between themselves apd then went off together ; at
that tim^bShe sugKOsted that I b-lght -visit ber at
bei home, but I old not consent, and then we met
resalarly in the same place two or three times a
week.
Q.— Daring the meeting last described did she
tell him -anything about himself or his family!
A.— In that interview she alluded to my children
and the tact of my being a widower, which led me
to believe tbat she bad heard of me from somebody
elae } all the interviews between the 26th of Janu-
ary and the Ist of March were at Solari's ; wo went
there two or three times a week ; alter lunch I
took lessens from ber and she corrected mistakes
in my EoKlish ; she was specially interested ia my
learning phraaes pertaining to tbe theatre.
Q.— Darins! that period was anything said be-
tween yoa about going to the theatre. A.— In tbe
coarse of our lessons she sngirasted that we should
;o to the theatre, with tbe view of becoming famil-
iar with Btaee converaation, and also for the pur-
pose of amusement.
Q. — Daring all ^bese meetings at Solari's, what
was your demeanor ana bearing toward one an-
other I A.— I respected her as a teacher and she
me as an obedient pupil ; there was absolutely no
impropriety between us.
Q.—Thlree weeks or so after the first interview
did yon ask her to marry you ? A. — It is entirely
false; there never was auy talk of marriage ; the
s-nbject waa never anggested either before or after.
Q— What waa the occasion of your caiUntr upon
her mother t A. — I went there because she re-
peatedly insisted upon my going there ; I was
never there before that ; when I went there the |to pre.Jndlce the trial of this case, and I believe, de-
plaintiff opened the door and showed me to tbe
parlor up stairs ; presently her mother made ber
appearance, very modestly attired, and she aaked
me If I made any progress in £ughsb under tbe
teachings of her daughter ; she talked about my
little aaaghters and said she wished to see them ; I
promised to take my danghters to see her ; at that
Bieetlne Adele was not present.
Q. — On. tbat occasion did the mother say, "I
have noticed a ring upon the hand of my daughter
which she says you have given ber as an engage-
ment ring ; am I to understand that you are eii-
gaged to my daughter f" A. — I said it is a novel,
and the statement about fixing the date ia abso-
lutely false; there was not a word tben spoken
about marriage, or of engagement either.
HISS MABTUTEZ'S MI3BBT IN HEB HOME.
Q.— During Maiob, or at any time before that,
did the -plaintiff make yon any commnnioatlona
about her family history, or about her condition at
homef A.— After the lapse of five or six days aba
spoke to me of her troubles at home; she said she
was miserable, bat would not tell me why; she
repeated this constantly after the lessons, aud said
she would make a revelation to me some day; she
dla not tell me how tfao revelation was to be made.
Q. — Look at tbe letter now produced, and the en-
velope, and sav whether yoa rncsived them
from, tbe plaintiff} A. — I received them In the
same form in which they are iiow; she Landed
it (the letter) to me at Solari's; she said she
intended to send it by mail, and also intended to
give it to me at tbe Lyceum, but she saia ehe atter-
waxd concluded to give it to me tben.
Q. — What did she say (H you about it, as near as
you oan recollect } A.. — She handed me the note,
and I waa about opening it m her presence, when
she asked'me not to do so until tbe meeting was
over ; this letter was given to me on the 15tb of
March; I took her home in a carriage that day,
either because she was not feeling well, or because
the weather was bad ; as soon aa I left the restau-
rant I opened tbe letter and read it^ but could not
comprehend its full meaning until I got a dictionary,
and with tbe aid of one of my servants; I am sure
it is In the plaintiffs handwriting.
'Xbe letter, which created quite a sensation in
court, waa tben read, as follows:
Wbdnbsdat Aftbrnoon.
Dkab FarsHn: I believe that 1 promised to write and
tell you my secret. I will now do so. When I was
nine years of age my lather died. My mother mariled
my uncle, who is now my fathei. To make a long story
short. Papa loves me, and has done everything in hi*
power to rob me o'f what is dearer to zue th».ij uiy life^—
mv honor. And ever since I was a l.ttle child he has
continually anuoyed me with loiamous propositions,
and does so still. Tou can easUir imaieinehow unhappy
and miserabls he makes me, f 'r 1 don't love himituu
way bo wishes m«- to, and I oan never give him
what he wants, for I would sooner part -with my life.
I have only God to thank for my unsullied honor. He
has watched over mo iu all my troubles ; for oh. my
dear friend, 1 have had so many, many trials. But it
la God's will, and I have always tried to be a good
gtrl. And now you know my secret my heart reels
light. I now leave you, wishing you all my sincere
good wishes, ana with many kisses to the dear little
girls, I remain your friend. EUGisNIE.
N. B. — I -will meet you on Saturday at 1 o'clock cor-
ner of 'I'wenty-elshtb street and Broadway. Don't
oome up here with a carriage.
Q. — Before receiving this letter had you any idea
of what the secret teat she had previously referred
to was } A. — She hinted it to me, but never told
me ; I aayi her a few days after tbe receipt of this
letter.
Q. — Did you say to her at tbe next meeting what
eflfect It had upon yotK feelings ! A.— I teld her it
affected me so I scarcely believed what I bail seen ;
I advised her to tell her mother all about 1 -;and she
would prevent tbe repetition of it in- the tature :
after that we continued the lessons the same a» be-
fora ; we occasionally visited the Academy of Mu-
sic and tbe tneatres.
Q. — After that did you go to her house some-
times t A. — 1 did occasionally in quest of her ;
tbe first time tbe qaescion of her taking care of the
tuition of my cbilaren came up on ber suggestion
that she should do so ; she mentioned tbe subject
to me long before I ever spoke of it at all ; she sug-
gested that she should go to my bouse and take
care of the children's education ; tbat was before
and after she handed me this letter.
Q. — How frequently did she continue to talk
about Jtf A. — After giving me this letter she
scarcely ever spoke about anytbing else ; when the
suggestion was first made I had no thought of com-
plying, bat I said nothing, and did not answer.
Q. — When was the first time that you said any-
thing to indicate that yoa might let her take caire
of your children ? A. — Lon/ after she left home;
she was tben at the Hotel Ruyal ; after receiving
this letter I looked upon ber with pity, and con-
sidared ber an anfortunate and unhappy young
lady ; otherwise there was nio change ; we contin-
aea oar luncheons and leasooa the same as ever ; I
don't think I mentioneid to her that I pitied ber,
bat she must have noticed it in my manner and
ueportment.
Q. — After tbe purchase of the ring, on the I5th
of January, did you ever receive it back again
froiu bor? A. — Never.
Q. — Did she ever deliver to yon a letter contain-
ing a nog, -with the iiijunciion not to open it until >
you separated? A.— No; neither tbat ring nor any
other ring ; she never exhibited to me any latter
witn au iujunotion that I was not to open it tben ;
I never suggested to her that she sbould leave her
father's house ; it was not dune at my suggestion :
when the matter was mentioued to me I told her 1
disapproved of it.
THE CONVEHSATION IN CENTKAL PARK.
Q.— Do you rememDer the cooversatton you had
with her on. the 20th of March on the occasion of.
your going to tbe Union Square Theatre 1 A. — I
suggested the propriety of her communioatiug to
her mother the treatment she received from her
father, and that sh* coald prevent it ; she replied
that her mother was a friend of her step father ;
some time alter this, I was out walking in Wash-
Ingtou park and I met Miss Martlntz i when I mot
ber I landed she was in trouble, but 1 was not able
to realize exactly what it was and she then asked
me if I would take her to Central Park as she had
something to say tome ; we took the cars to the
Park, and on the way we did not ^peak a word ; I
was impressed with seeing her in that condition,
and I would not broach the subject to her.
Q. — When you cot to the Park state what oc-
curred. A. — When we got to the Park she wept
and wiped her tears with a handkerchief; she said
tbat on the previous Sunday, the 18ch of April, she
had gone with her sister to church ; u'Jjon leaving
church they mf^t t\v.u young men, who cscortea
them home ; their father sa-.v them from the bal-
cony, and when she weut up stairs he insulted her
terribly; that afternoon he took very serious liber-
ties with her, and she left the house and went to
the residence of a trleud in Second avenue; I ac-
companied her to her bome and lolt her at the door ;
on tbe 26th of April I went with ber to buy a truuk;
1 had pceviously offered her money and she refused
to accept it; I was under the impression that I
should luot take lessons from her without giving ber
some cjompeosatioQ, and I used to make her pres-
ents of gaiters, &c., but 1 was not aatiaiied with
that, an^ i lUought 1 should give her some money j''
I told hir then that If she ever wanted $100 or f 150
X would eive it to her ; I intended to giv« aiiout «.''>0
a month iirt least ; the lease of my house on '£ weuty-
eighth street exoired ou thi? 1st at' May ; 1 did not
take the piaiutift' to the Hotel lioyal and did not
know of its ejfisteuee until I received a message
from her asking for some money j she said in tlie
note she was registered as Mig.s'iLivingaton, and I
sent her ?50 by the messencer who brouttht the let-
ter; some days after I visiteu ht-r at the Hotel
Eoyal, and 1 gave her tSO or f30 to pav for her
board ; she held in her hand a copy of a daily news-
paper coBtaming this " personal :"
EuOBXiE.— Jf you Hre In the CUv do for God's sakn
oome home. Your father ia inconsolable and will make
all satisfaction.
MISS MAHTINEZ IKBTALLED AS . HOUSEKEEPEB.
t- In that coDversation she said she an,d ber mother
told her it eotild not be don<;, ar my daughters had
sufficient care, and she replied with tears in ber
eyes, and was very mnch affected, that ahe was
lost if I did not take her to my house; I advised
her to return home and communicate with her_
father by letter; she said she would rather kill her
self than go home; at the time I agreed that sh°
should come to my honss at Poughkeepsin and tak®
charge of the education of my daughters; sb"
asked $100 a month, aud I said I thought 180 woul^
be sufficient, bnt finally I consented to give her tb"
$100 ; 1 moved toPoughkeepsie on the 20th of May •
I took the plaintiff there and introduced her to th*
servants as the hoasekeeper.
Q.— Up to this time had there been auy talk of
marriage ? A. — None wbotever.-none was possible ;
the sabject bad never been talked of in any way ;
I never urged her 'to marry mo secretly or in any
other way.,
Q. — Did von ever say to her tbat you had a com-
promise in Cuoa that would prevent yop marrying
publicly or in private here ? A. — Never ; I never
bad a compromise of any kind in Cuba.
Q. — Were you perfectly free to marry ? A. — I
was perfectly free an^ I am ■ to-day ; ,I'never said
there was any person in Cnba that would get me
into trouble if 1 married here, and therw was not ; I •
never received from her tbe letter which has been
read here; it is all a lomance ; I never had a com-
promise adjusted.
Q. — Do voa remember the first Sunday of your
being in Ponghkeepsie, the 6tb of Jane? A. — I
do; but tbe statements made in reference to that
date and to certain conduct on my part are utterly
false.
The witness here specifically and in detail char-
acterized as false the testimony of tbe plaintiff
tbat he bad 8edg.ced her on the 6th of June, and
tbe circumstances as detailed, as to hia going
into her room, &c., he said were also false.
The witness continued: I was displeased at the
conduct of the plaintiff in Ponghkeepsie.
Q. — What conduct displeased you ? and state
Whether you had a conversation with ber on the
subject. A. — I spoke to ber and said that she waa
in toe habit of lea-viug her door open at night;
that it was wiong, and she should bave to leave;
she answered and said It seemed impossible that
I should be atraid of sleeping with her; she spoko
to me in those words; her horse-back rluing dis-
nleased'me, and I told her again she shonld leave;
she said, with tears, that if she went back
again to ber father's bouse it wonld kill ber.
The witness then naiTated the circumstances
connected with the -visits to Niagara Falls and
Washington, and denied haying ocoiioied the same
room with Miss Martinez. He also detailed tbe
visits of ber friends tb his house substantiall.y as
narrated beforo.
• THE JURYMEN CAUTIONED.
Mr. Beaeh then said i Before we adjourn, Sir, I
request that your Honor, will deliver an admonition
to the jury to be silent ou tbe subject of this trial,
in consequence of an unlawfal, unmanly, and inde.
cent attack in a morning paper of this City, of posi-
tion and circulation, against tbe plaintifi', calculated
sighed to injure the plaintiff in her appeal to the
justice of the court and jury. I, for myself, ear-
nestly request, if it is possible to accoraphsh that
request, that the gentlemen who are to pronounce
on this case legitimately, shall keep their minds free
from bias which might arise from the assaults of
tbe newspaper press, which are, I think, a contempt
of the court and of the adminis'tration of justice.
Mr. Choate concurred in the observations of Mr.
Beach, and the court cautioned the jury not to
speak to any one on tbe sabjeot of the trial. The
court then adjourned.
COMSTOCK'S W£STE1{N RAID.
GOOD WORK IN THE SUPPEB88ION OF VICE —
FIVE "PHYSIC1AN6" ARRH8TED— PAIN-
FUL DEVBLOPAIBNTS ADVICE TO PAR-
ENTS AND GUARDIANS.
Mr. Anthony ComBtock, Special Agent of tbe
Society for the Suppression of Vice, returned to
this Oily yesterday from the West, where he suc-
ceeded in securing tbe arrest of several unprinci-
pled oharlatana, who, uoder the guise of "physi-
cians," aud by the use ot advertising mediums,
bave been largely engaged in the circulation of
improper literature and the sale of dangerous
medicines. Mr. Comstock giveq tbe following ac-
count of his tnp:
"IleftNew-Tork on Tuesday evening, the7th Inst.,
and went directly to Indianapolis, where, on the
followinir Thursday, I caused the arrest of H.
Augustus Farr and James B, McCann, who, under
ibe guise of "physicians," had mailed large
quantities of improper circulars and prepara-
tions. The capture of McCann, who had
previously been arrested in Illinois , for
counterfeiting, led to tbe detection of the
fact tbat he and Farr were members of a gang of
counterfeiters who had, by means of plates surrep-
titiously transferred from genuine ones in the
Treasury Department, been fioodiag the country
with counterfeit money. A quantity of cipher eor-
respondence found iu McCann's possession revealed
a portion of the operations ol tbe gang. One cipher
sign stood for the name of John C. New, the late
Treasurer of the United States ; another for the
name of Mr. Slaagbter, President of the
First National Bank of Indianapolis; a third
for tbe name 01 McCann, and a fourth for that of
Farr. It was evident from the nature of the cor-
respondence that the counterfeiters feared that
they were suspected by Messrs. New and Slaughter,
and were in danger of detection. I found in Mo-
Cann's office a piinting-press and about six thou-
sand improper circulars. He evidently did bts
own printing, in order to run as Uttle
risk as passible. On Friday, MoCann
and Parr were arraigned in the United States Dis-
trict Court on indictments found against them for
mailing prohibited aitioles. McCann pleaded gailty
aud was remanded for sentence, and Parr gave bail
for trial. Oa Friday night I went to Cleveland and
caused the arrest of Frank William Chester, who,
under the alias of "Dr." Chester, had been
engaged in tbe most nefarious practices.
He admitted his guilt before a United States Com-
missioner, and was held for tbe octfoh of the
Uniced Slates Graui Jury. In Cleveland, I also
caused the arrest of George W. Williams, alias
•'Dr." WiiliamH, who was engaged in the same
kind of basiness as Cheater. Some three
years ago Williams was engaged in the
same pursuit m Detroit, and barely escaped
arrest by fleeing to Cleveland. Williams, like
Chester, pleaded guilty, and was held lor 'tbe
Grand Jury. On Saturday I investigated a case in
Niagara County, New-York State, in which respect-
able young ladies' bad been made the recip-
ients of improper circulars sent them bv a
notorious quack doctor whom I am expect-
ing soon to arrest. I then returned to In-
dianapolis on information sent me, aud obtained
the arrest of Francis Marion Abbett, a notorious
quack, who, under the alias of ■' Dr/' F. M. Abbett,
aid a large business of the most diseraceful charac-
ter in Indianapolis, and, by the use of the mails,
throughout the country. He was indicted and
held for trial. Xbe amount of correspond-
ence found in tbe possession of these "phy-
sicians'' aggregate thousands of letters from all
parts of the country, for these men were the prin-
cipal ones in the United States engaged in this ne-
farious business, mo.st of those at the East having
been compelled to cease their operations. These
letters contained the most palntul develop-
ments, a very large proportion ol them
being from young misses or youths of
families of the highest respeotabl^ty, aud revealed
a condition of atf.iirs horrible'- to contemplate.
These cases illustrate how easy it is for the young
to carry on an improper correspondence with un-
scrupulous quacks, and their parents or
guardians remain ignorant of the fact.
My experience has taught me many les-
sons, but never before have 1 had
such overwhelming evidence of the existence of a
vast secret Improper correspondence reacbine into
80 many unsuspected quarters, and being ^engaged
lu by such numbers of the youth of both sexes.
Parents and guardians cannot be too circumspect in
watohing the correspondence of their children who
are so easily approached in so secret a manner by
such numbers of unscriipalous adventurers."
A POLICEMAN OX TRIAL.
Patrolman Schmittberger, ot the Twenty-
ninth Precinct, was arraigned ^efore Police Com-
missioners Erhardt and Nich(jl8 yesterday, on a
complaint growing out of the arrest of James Pur-
cell, a messenger in the employ of the Democratic
State Committee, aa he was leaving tbe Everett
ilouse on the 6th inst., on suspicion of having in
his possession forged or counterfeit bonds. The
technical charge against the officer was that while
taking the prisoner to the station-house
he stopped at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Puroell
testified to the facts of the arrest, and that the
officer, while conveyiug him to the station-house,
took him into the corridor of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, and remai'aed with him there for about ten
minutes, fie was then taken to the station-house,
and thence to the office of United States Com-
missioner Dcuel, who dischareod him. Col.
Drake De Kay. at whose instance Parcell
was arrested, testillert to ine fact of tho arrest.
While passinij the Fifth Avenue Hotel he requested
the (ifhcoi to enter the hotel ami to wait there
while he (Col. Do Kiy) seut a dispatch to United
States Commisaionsii Deuel. At flr.st the tfficer de-
murred, but finally cousonteti. He diil not remain
iu the hotel over two minutes. The officer made a
statement that he was sent by Capt. Williams to
arrest a v^rson who was to bo pointed out to him by
Col. i)eK.aj". The coroplalnt acainst this person was
that he iiad in hi.'i possession oeunterteit bonus,
lie made th6 arrest, aud entered the hotel with his
prisoner as testified to by Col. De Kay, and ho
swore positively that bo did not remain there more
than two minutes. Tho case was leferred to the
board.

The attenrdanoe at the great sale of books at

morrow evening. The following is a list ot some

of Gen. Marion," 1831, Charleston. |6Q.
Jefferson's "Notes on the Stat« of Virginia,"
printed in Paris in 1782. This waa a very fine copy

Paris until 1784. It was keenly bid for and brought

don, in 1787, coBtainins a flno losertea ponralt of

ginia," &c., London. 1724. This extraordinary,

J. J. WBIGflT, Aaaodate Justice.
The Chief Jnstioe asked Gen. Elliott if he
iad auT soggestion to make. He said, no;
tbe ord^ waa intermediate or aoxiliary, and he
would say nothing to tbe order of the court.
The court then acyoumed till 11 o'clock to-
morrow.
The effeet of tbe order of the court is to per-
tiit the Board of Canvasaera to proceed with
the oonnting of the vote in a atriotly ministe-
rial oapaoity. When they have completed this
duty, the retoms wih be certihed to tbe court,
And argoment will then be had. on the powers
of the board to hear oases of contest. Uatil
thia point is decided the State returns are vir-
tually in poaseasion ot the court.
The canvasaers immediately after the ad-
journment of the court, at once began their
work of collecting the returns, admitting to
tbe room representatives from each political
piarty. Gen. Gordon, of Georgia; C. Alex-
ander, of Washington ; Senator Randolph, of
New-Jersey, on the part of the D'^mocraiii are
present, with Judge Carter, of Washington,
and Mr. Packer, of Pennsylvania, on the part
of the Bepablioana. Besides these there are
ten prominent Democrats of the State and
several Bepublicana At 7 this eveniug tbe
board had only canvassed two or three coun-
ties. There is no prospect of getting through
to-night, and probably not to-morrow.
Lateat — The Board of Canvassers, prooeeding
under tbe order of the Surreme Court to aegre-
Kate the vote of the State for Presidential
!Qleetora, Governor, and Lieutenant Governor,
have canvassed the vote of five counties for
the lormer and ten for the latter without an-
nouncing the results. A large nuiubei ot pro-
tests are being filed by both parties, and irreg-
ularities existing in several counties have been
discovered.

New-Orlkans, Nov. 17.— The situation
here to-day remains unchanged. The second
letter, addressed by the Democrats to the Ee-
publicansi this day, will probably close
the correspondence. Soinething more to
the purpose, than writing letters has been
accomplished. When the Returning Offi-
cers meet to-morrow they will in-
vite five gentlemen of each political party
to be present - and witness their labors. This
will happily dispose of the question of secret
session, and will give satisfaction to both par-
ties;' The next point is tlie election of a mem-
ber to fill tne vacancy on the Returning Board.
I have the best s reason for believing that
the Chairman of the Democratic State Central
Committee of Loi4siuna will be asked to name
the man . to fill the vacancy, and he
will be elected, j These two points have
been considered by the Eepublicans,
and the citizens of all the States, so
largely interested in the election of this State,
can rest assured that, if the Democrats meet
the Eepublicans iu the pacific spirit which pre-
vails to-night, the canvass will be fairly and
openly made, and amicably settled as speedily
as possible. A number of visiting Eepub-
licans leave to-morrow.

New-Orleans, Nov. 17.— The Republi-
cans'here have received a large number of aflB-
davits from the parishes of East Baton Rouge,
Morehouse, East' and West Feliciana, and
Ouachita in relation to the conduct of
the recent election. These affidavits
show that ' violence and mtimidation
was generally practiced lu these par-
ishes to influence the vote, and that the Re-
publicans dared not vote as they desired, or
vote at all. ^ The Democrats have procured
counter affidavits, showing that the ejection
was perfectly peaceable and quiet-
It is stated to-night on good authority, that
the Returning Board when it meets to-morrow
will reply to the application of the Democratio
Committee, sallowing five members from each
party to be jtfreseut during the canvassing of
the returns. '
Business continues extremely dull with no
prospect of improvement, until the present
political dispute is adjusted and the election of
President settled. _ ~"^X

M. BearcUley, C. B. Earwell, Courtlandt Barker,

Gentlemen : We are in receipt of your answer
to our letter of tbe 14[h last.. In which yoa intorm
us of .vooi determination not to confer with us tor
the purpase of exerting sach loflaence a^ we may pos-
sess in behali cfaacli a canvassof tbe votes actaallv
cast at tbe eleciion in Louisiana as, by Us fairness
and lupaitialiiy, shall command the acquiescence
and respect of all parties. We sincerely regret this
failare of our attempt to seoare tbe oo-operatiun of
the citizens from other Northern States in further-
ance of tbe puTDoss, whicb, as we supposed, had
brought them hitber at this iunoture. Wo rogret
it all the more becaase your refusal to confer and co-
operate with us appears to be based on a
serioos misapprehenfeioa of the language v.o less
than the si.iFit of our commduioatioD. It can
iiaidiy have escaped your notice that our statement
of the result 10 be attaiaed bj tbe co-onerative
ac'i'jn which we sought to biingabout was a timple
reproduction of tbe language ot President Gran', at
whose request, we understand, you cam a here, in his
recent order to Gen. Sherman. That langnage
was deliberately used, no doabt, in view of the fact —
about which as we cenceive there can be no dispute
— thai the first and most essential prerequisite to an
honest and Jost declaration of tbe result of tbe
general election in Louisiana is a fair and imparii<il
canvass of the votes actually cast, and it
seems to ns you do the President great
injustice in supposing that in speaking cf the
votes actually cast he meant to include^otes Illegal-
ly cast, as yon certainly do us injustice by tbe im-
putation ot a desire to insist upon such a nurrow
and vicious interpretation. In oar judgiuent, the
expression "votes actually cast" of necessity des-
ignated votes legally cast ; and as a consequence,
of such votes only did we desire to secure a fair
and impartial canvass. We beg leave to say,
therefore, that you are mistaken in the belief that
we sought unduly to narrow tbe basis oa whicb we
invited your co-operative action, and you are no less
in error in attiibuiing to us a parposa to interfere
with the legal authorities ot tbe State in tbe dis-
eharge of their duties, to claim riifhts and to arrogate
to ourselves powers which we do not possess. In
writing our letter we were fully aware that both
tbe or^^auization and action, wtiether jodicial or
V. inisterial, of the Beturning Board of Louisiana,
-wore beyond any authoritative control from with-
out; and that it would be the belKht of arrogance
and folly to attempt to altei- tbe laws of a
State of which we are not citizens, or to
obtrude our interpretation cf those laws upon
those whose duty it is to administer them ; but we
had supposed, nevertheless, that there was an in-
fluence which miijht be rigbtfally exerted by citi-
zens of this Bepubllo who are stiangers iu this
State, aid we had taken It for .granted that your
presence here in response to the suggestion nf the
President was a recognition if tbia fact. We bad
supposed it was not improper f >r us to remluil tbe
authorities of this State, bv our mere prodouoe at
least, tbat there are oerlam rules of f^ilruess and
justice which underlie all consticutlous and
iaffli ..gB4 .; ; nnon _ whfls^ fibaeiyaflte
depend tbe acquiescence of the people
of all parties in the declared result of the Louisiana
election. Kales such as these : that no one ought
to be Judge in his own case ; tbat tbe decision of
any contest ought not to depend upon tbe mere ar-
bitrament of one of the parties thereto; that before
saoh a decision is made, both parties ougbt to be
fully sod fairly heard, all (lUeations of law ought to
he decided in ciinformity with its established gen-
eral priocipals, and all questions of fact upon evi-
dence duly presented and weitcbed under the rules
which are of universal reoogniiim in all the States
of tbid TJdI .m ; that tbe trial of all causes involving
publle Interests at least ought to be public;
and that all tbe proceedioga resorted to
for the purpose cf determining the issues in the
present elector^il contest ought, bv their manifest
impartiality, to disarm tbe nttspicion that the f jrms
cf law have been perverted Into instruments <for the
violation of its spirit. In this connection we may
bo pt rmitted to observe that, while UDdoobtedly.
as you say, a sedulons culttvalion of the habits of
obedience to the forms of law is vital to the pre-
seivatlDD of coDstitntioDal liberty, it is no leas im-
portant that a refusal to yield such obedience be
not provokiad by usibg these forms as a means for
sabveriing the very ends for which they wore
designed.
Without undertaking tv question the sincerity of
the belief which you are at pams to express, that
you know of no rea#>n to doubt tbat the Louisiatia
Returning Board will make a perteotly honest and
Just declaration of the resnlts of the reoeat election
in Lonisiaoa. we deem it not Improper
to remind yon tbat the presence m this
city of so many citizens from all parts
of tbe TJnioD, at thia moment, seems to be evidence
of a widely.prevalent distrust of the action of this
board, and tbat sucll distrust bas the foundation
at least, that the constitution of the board has not
been changed since its -xeturns were sec aside
bv a* Congressional committee, of whicb the
Bepublioaa candidate for the Vice Pres-
dency was a member; and this distrust
ia not unnatural in view of the fact
that, as we understand, one of the members of the
Itetnming Board is a caodiJatd voted for at the re-
cent election, another tbe bolder of an office of
profit and trns'.; bv apoointmenc of the present Ex-
ecutive of tbe National Governmeot, while all the
members of the board are believed to be in
afSiiation with but one of the parlies to tbe
present po'.iical coates'. In view of all
this it • is bardlv necessary to add that
the terms of our letter . were not desianed
to prejudge th« question whether the functions of
tbe Returning Board were Judicial or ministerial,
or both, but simply to invite yoa to see with us
that, whatever may be the character of those func-
tions, they are openly and fairly and honestly dis-
charged I and, while we thus refrained from any
attempt at stating or construing the laws of Louis-
iana, we deemed it equally irrelevant to the
subject of our correspondence with you to allude to
the duties devolving upon officers o: her thau the
consti'uents of the Louisiana^ Returning Board, un-
der tbe laws and Constitution of the United States.
Whether, as you observe by way of illustration, un-
der the Constitution, the Presidsnt of the Senate
both counts and declares the votes of the Electors of
the several States, bisdnty being simply ministenal,
and not subject to the control of Congress, or wheth-
er, as has been tbe practice for more tban elehty
years, a praeaoe inaugurated by men some of whom
had.been among the framors of the Constitution,
tbe votes are to be counted under tbe direction and
control i)f the Senate and Hoas? of Repr-esentlves,
14 a question upon the dlsonss'ion of whicb we deem
itnio part of our duty to enter.
In conclusion, permit us to say that notwith-
standing your refusal to co-operate, wo still cheri^ii
the hope tbat the Returning Board, warned by tbe
history of the past, and conscious tiiat its aciions
aro being observed by the whole Dation, will dia-
cbarge its delicate duties with such cir-
cumsprciion, fairness, and impartiality as will
give satisfaction to the American people. To tbis
end we will continue to laoor. Should a different re-
sult follow the action of the board, we shall have tbe
sat'iEfaction of knowing that while yoa have tak?n
the responsibility of declimng to act with ns, we
have done all in our power to avert the conse-
quences which may follow. Very respecifuily, ^

SPEECHK8 AT THE WASHINGTON TTLDEN AND
HENDRICKS CLUB— A GENERAL RAID ON
THE TEEASaKY UNDKR PRESIDENT TIL-
DEN — THE MEN WHO " WORE THK GRAY"
TO GET A FAIR SHARE OP THE SPOILS.
Special Disvaich to the New-York Times.
Washington, Nov. 17.— The Tilden and
Hendricks Reform Club held a meeting in this
city to-night. Their sentiments upon the subject
of civil service retorm are more freely and more
truly expressed than before the day of election.
Col. William P. Furey said he Delieved in the
Jacksonian principle, "To the victors belong
the spoils," and when they sit down on their
adversaries, they should sit down mightv
hard. He did not believe that there was a
Democrat belonging to either of the two asso-
oiatioos who would not consent to serve his
country in any position to which he should be
called. In lace of the fact that Mr. Tilden
bad received a popular majority, they were
told by the Republicans that - they will not
vacate, and that the Democrats will have
to bring an action of ejeetmsnt ;" and this though
the battle was lought with the iinders tan ding
that if whipTied, the Republicans would pack
their little carpet-bags and file out. The De-
mocracy for tbe last sixteen years had endured
penury and want, and he (Col. Furey) wanted
them to come forth to the front. The
soldier who had, dtiriug the war, foughjb
lor a principle, and stacked arms
at the close, should be rewarded, and
the men who had been trodden down in the
Southern States should be rewarded, even if
they did " wear tbe ijray." CoL Love, of Con-
necticut, predicted the inauguration of Samuel
J. Tilden, and the appointment of David A.
"Wells as Secretary of the Treasury.

and lasted, as usual, shout two hours. After tbe
tran-giction of a considerable amount ot routine

Electors, and contingencies that mizht arise in con-
nection wiih any poa^ible vaiancies in the Electoral
Colleges, or iu connection ^vi;h the returns of the

to a full understanding of the Federal and Siate
laws bearing upon these subjects. Subsequently
tbe members of the Cabinet repaired' to the law
library of the Department of Justice, In order to
consult the statutes and decisions affording the de-
sired legal information, No action, however, was
taken on any one of these polntN, as no question

Special Dispatch to the New- York Times,
Boston, Nov. 17.-:-Dispatches irom Mont-
pelier, Vt, itidloate that a dete.^niaed effjrt Is to
be made to obtain a Democratio Elector in place of
Postmaster SoUace, and an elaborate soberne has
twen concocted. Hon. E. J- Phelps of
Burlington, has been engaged by the Demo-
cratic State Committoe of Vermont as counsel
to prosecute the claims of their candidate for
elector, Hon. lAmos Aldrich, of Woodford, who
received a plurality of four votes on the Democrat-,
io electoral ticket, Nottie has been served
upon the County Clerks and Sheriffi of
the State. claiming that the votes
cast for Postmaster Sollaoe were illegal, and in-
sisting upon tbeezorciie nf implied jadioial author-
ity, under sectien 62, of, chapter 1, of the General
Statutes, which reads as fallows :
"It shall be the dftty of the Clerks, or Sheriflfs, as
the case mxj^ be. to make a list ot all the certifi-
cates from the several townships, with the number
(if votes tor eaoti person, in each of said towns,
designating such as ^hey mav deem legal, and such
^ they may deem illegal, and lodtie a ceriified copy
nf such list in the office of the Secretary of
State," &c.
The programme is for Mr. Aldrich to appear and
claim tbe eleciion, and if refused. Judge Sm alley, of
the United States District Court, a Dsmoorat, will
be asked to i.ssue^ an iniuuctlnn restraining the
action of the Board of Coonty Clerks, who assemble
pursaant tu Se&tion 60 of the same chapter, which
read.'* asf ollows*
" The presiding officer shall deliver to the County
Clerk of the county in which said town is situated,
within two days af.er holding such meeting,
the cer.ificaie of votes taken and sealed
as atoiesaid, and the said clerlis shall
meet at the State-hoDse in Montpelier

dent of the United States, and give notice to tbe
Governor cf tbe State within three days from such
meeting.
Last evening three leading lawyers of the State,
one of whom was formerly C!)ijf Jus ice, were in
coosultatioa about this matter. It 1^ tisssrtvd tbat
they are unanimously of the opinion
that the powers of the Returning Board
are entirely ministerial, not judictal — that section
62 has referepce to certificates only, inst.'ad of votes
cast, and shduld the boards of clerks be restrained,
application will immediately be made to Hon. Alex-
ander S. Johnson, Circuit Judge of the United
States for the , district comprising the
States of Vermont, New-York, and. Connecticut,
to dissolve the injunetion. Mr. Aldrich sajs he
believes, after consultation with eminent counsel,
that he is entitled to a seat in the Electoral College.
there being no vacancy under their deflnidon of
the law, 'and that tuey should c^rry tbe case before

Democratic claim is that the vote^caat for Sollaoe
are, in law, parallel to those cast tot a non-resident.
LETTER FROM PETER COOPER.
HE CORRECTS A MISSTATEMENT OF HIS PO-
LITICAL VIEWS — NO PBKFERKNCB FOR
TILDEN OVER HAYK8, BUT MUCH CON-
FIDENCE IN THE PEOPLK.
To the Editor of the New- YorK Times :
In the followlBir paragraph, from the New-
York World, I do not find my true beatiments re-
fiected or properly expressed, 1 presume through
some, misunderstanding of the repocter :
" Mr. Peter Cooper has entirely recovered from
his lute illness, and in course of conver.'iation with
a TTorid reporter yesterday, he said ' The expres-
sion ot the popular will is in tavor of Mr. Tiideu
rather than Mr. Hayes for President. Tiiere is not
tbe le^st do&bt that the party in power would prac-
tice fraud to secure the eleotion of their candidates,
but the will of tbo people, as expressed in tbe
ballot-box, may suffice to deter them from doing so.
But, in the event of Mr. Tilden being counted out
by fraudulent ot illegal meaus, I have good reason
to fear trouble— nerhaps a second civil war. If
there.be fraud practiced, it may cause an almost
gsneral popular uprising, and there is no telling
what tbe result will be to the country. Yet I have
strong fanh in tbe good sense of tbe Amencau peo-
nle, and believe that trouble will be averted.' "
I oannot give a special preference to theoandidate
of either party, in the presence of the tact that they
both Ignore the most important issue of the day, the
adoption of a sound ourrency for the people. Bat
I believe that both parties are led by men of patriot-
igm who would abide by the legal decision of their
respective claims, and resort to no revolution or
violence tp rectify what they mar consider injustice
In that decision. - PETER COOPER.

WAR PKQSPECTS IN EUROPE
TURKEY AND THE CONFERENCE.
A CABINKI COUNCIL TO BK HELD IN CON-
STANTINOPLE ON THE QITESTION TO-
DAY— ACCEPTANCE CONSIDERED PROBA-
BLE.
London, Nov. 17. — A Renter telegrapa &om
Constantinople says : "According to trustworthy
information, an extraordinary Cabinet council will
be held here to-morrow to definitely decide respect-
ing the qnestlon of a confsrenoo, the British Cabinet
having renewed its eaecgetic demands on that
buiiject."
Pabis, Kov. 17.— The Temps states that the Porte
will give an official reply to the conference pro-
nosal to-morrow. It is believed Turkey will ac-
cept the conference on the batis of the British pro-
posals.
London, Nov. 18.— The Post publishes the follow-
ing in an official form i " We beliave It probable
tbat after the forthcoming coancil at Gooatantino>
pie the Porte will accede to the Soglish proposal
f.jr a conleienoe."
Dispatches to the )Sain«?ardand Post from Berlin
concur in reporting tfct Russia is raising fresh diffi-
culties with regard to the .line of demarkktion,. de-
manding that it be pushed further back on tbe
Drina.
The PosVs Berlin correspondent ssys it is expect-
ed that Turkey will place on record a sdemn pro-
test against the mobilization of the RcS'tlan troops.
London. Nov. 18. — The Vienna correspondent
of the limes says |tbe British Government is so
convinced that a conference is the only means of
bringiug about a pacification that it has intimated
to the Porte the posMbllitv that the conference may
be held even without Turkey's participa!i.)n, if her
refusal is persisted in. These represents lioiis have
u.it been without effect. The Grand Viaijar and
Minister of Foreign Affairs seem to bo ooiivinoed
that a conference is inevitable. !
The Times, in a leader, sams up the latest phase
of the situation as follows : "Oa Turkey's de-
cision to-day, in regard to the confer-
ence, hangs the question of peace
or war. There may be war, even though the con-
ference meets; but it must be taken that Turkey's
refusal to participate in tbe conference would be
cOLBidered as her acceptance cf war."
ni«it'8 Eastern poUoi^ waa nnphanged. He de-
clined to dircuss tbe dnestion farther at present
because of tbe serious TesDonaibllity resting upon
the Hinistry. The Standard'* "Vienna correspondent
says telegrams from Bedin report that it ia proba-
ble that Prussia will mobilize two army corps in
Posen and Silesia. Bumora of the partial mobiliza-
tion of the Austrian Army are emphatically ooa-
tradioted.
Bkloeadb. Nov. 17.— Prince Milan haa sent a

of War has resigned. Col. Graich has been ap.
pointed his successor.

St. Petersburg says tbe Czar, addressing the Gen-

POSITION OF GREAT BRITAIN.
tone op the TORY AND THK LIBERAL
PRESS — STOCK-JOBBING STATEMENTS
AND VIEWS — RUMORED INTENTION OF
ENGLAND TO OCCUPY CONSTANnNOPCE.
London, Nov. 17. — The Pall MaU Gazette ol
this afternoon bas a leading editorial on the liast-
em question which oonoludes as follows: " Enslisb
Jealous V — English suspicion — is thoroughly aronaed.
Any overt act on the part of Russia in tbe direction
of her suspected aims would deepen this suspicion
into active hostility, and not only leave the Govern-
ment free to act against Busaia, but, in certain con-
tingencies, compel them so tp act."
The T.mes to-day, in its financial eolnmn, saya :
"One of the rumors on tbe Stock Exohapge yester-
day was tbat Lord Derby bad withdrawn from ne-
gotiation on the Eistern question and the' Cabinet
had ordered the occapation of Constantinople by
the British forces, so tbat there would be no con-
ference but Immediate war."
This romoi is probably the foundation of the fol-
lowing statement whicb the J^nanct«r makes editor-
ially to-<iay :— ■' We can state, not officially, but very
confidently, the course the British Cabinet have
resolved upon if Russia invades Turkey. In such
case, a British army corps will immediately occupy
Constantinople and defend It against all attacks.
It is calculated that not more than 25,000 troops are
needed, and British engineer officers are already
inaliiiiK a survey for a thoronga defense of the
Turkish Capital.
The latter statement probably grows out of a
Renter telegram from Constantinople on the 14th
inst., stating that several officers of the Corps of
Royal Engineers had arrived in that city.
The ii'tnancier adds: " England's object is not to
participate in a war between Turkey and Bdssia —
who may fl°;ht out their quarrel whether in Asia or
Europe— but to protect Constantinople and the
Dardanelles from seizure by Russia. Eng-
land would simply hold .Constantinople in
pledge temporarily on behalf of the other
powjars and the world at large. As
soon as a neutral State was formed on the Bos-
phorns, or such other arrangement efieoted as Eu-
rope may ultimately determine upon for the war-
densbip of the Dardeuelles, England would willing-
ly withdraw. Thus tbe ministerial policy is per-
fectly clear and free from further entanglement.
It has a distinct object of vital impo^ftance to
British interests, and beyond tbat object the Gov-
ernment will not go."
Tbe foregoinc in all probability has no better foun-
dation than tbe Stock Exchange rumor, before men-
tioned, which the Times merely repeats without
comment, but it shows tbe current of opinion here
among the supporters of the Ministry. But there is
a stroDg division in public sentiment about the
course the Government ought to pursue.
Tbe Times continues to advocate co-operation
with Russia in enforcing upon the Porte satisfac-
tory reforms, and has a po ff-eiful leading editorial
on the subject to-day, in which it cites the inter-
vention in Syria, in 1860, and the French occnpation
of tbe Leuanon by acquiescence of all the treaty
powers, to show tbat military interference iu Bul-
garia would have an exact precedent, and tbat as
the Porte yielded to European control of her internal
affairs then, she would do so in the parallel case now
presented. Tbe organs of tbe Liberal Party strongly
oppose any action iu a sense hostile to R'xssia.
Tbe Standard, lelegraph, and Pall MaU Gazette
d'dJiaJi believe that England can remain neuttal.
The Po«t, while strongly anti-Russian, is dispcsed
te believe that Russia has abandoned the idea of de-
manding or seizing material guarantees for the exe-
cution of reforms or of insisting upon autonomy iu
the sense cf itif lujiiDg on the independence of Tur-
key. It thinlCH, therefore, that the conference may
arrive at an arrangement satisfying Russia's legiti-
mate demands while respectiug tbe equally legiti-
mate snscepiibilities and tbe independence and sov-
ereign liiihts of the Ottoman Empire.

Philadelphia, Nov. 17.— ITie extensive one-
story hotel structure, known as tbe Grangers' En-
campment, situate at Him Station, on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, three miles from the Centennial
grounds, was totally destroyed by fire early this
evening. Tbe fire originated in the eastern
end of the structure, in the section used for the
dining-room. The building belnz situate in Mont-
gomery County, and far from water, it was boob a
mass of charred timbers. The reflection cast on
the sky was bri'liint, and caused many persons in
the city to believe tbat the Centennial buildings
were homing. The hotel was oreoted by, and be-
longed to, the National Grancers' Encamp-
ment, and did a' good business dn-
ling the latter days rf the Centennial.
Tbe los^ is set down at tSO.OOO, and the insurance

one-story-and-a-half strucrure, and had accommo-
dations for 4,000 eupsts. It was built in el?ht sec-
tions, asd was 490 fuet in length and 450 feet in

NO^BtfTH Ilf THE REPORTS OF UNUSUAL
ACTIVITT AT THAT STATION.
Sensational reports having lieen published in
several Demooratie papers yesterday, relative to
unusual activity and war like preparations in the
Brooklyn Navy-yard, a Timss reporter called upon
Commodore Nicholson last evening to ascertain
upon what foundation tbe rumors were
based. ''There is nothing in the report,
at 5aU," . said that officer. " If any
orders had come from Washington ' to
pat the Navy-yard on i^ war footing they would
have pas'ied through my bands." He then proceeded
to say that the Swatara, which has been undergoine
repairs at tbe yard for some time, nillsbon bereadv
for service, when she will proceed to Norfolk and
rejoin the South Atlantic Squadron. As tbe
work has ^ been going en for some time,
it baa no connection whatever with the present
political excitement. Tbe Commodore also said
that tbe complement of men in tbe North Atlantic
squadron was not fall, and enlistments to till tbe
vaoaneiea were being made, more or less actively,
all the time. When the men were enlisted they
were put through a course of drilling and mstrao-
tion to fit~tbem for their duties. This instruction
was eiven on the flsE-nhip Minnesota, and as soon
as theyxW^ero properly drilled they were distriibutcd
to the ^ssela needing additional seamen.

From Our Oion Oorrttpondent.
^HIUIDKLPHU, Friday Nov. 17, 1876.
What one week ago was the greatest exhihi-
tlyn tbe word ever saw is, to-day, a desolate region,
resembling a city ■ of almost Oriental magnificence
depleted by a plague. The Centennial Exhibition
is gone, but its results are felt by tradesmen here
keenly. The reaction ol the busy times, the rush
and hurry, tbe quick money-getting which awaken-
ed the sleepy people here, has had a woefully bad
effect ; for now, when Philadelphia is returning to
its Quakerisms and tbe usual qnietude, the mer-
chants are crying out hard times, and
put on long faces. The results of tbe
Exhibition, while being in the main decidedly satis-
factory, are rather, in their remote relations, of a '
very distressing character. It is feared that the
Christmas trade here has been almost destroyed by
the lar|;e., purchases which were made at the
gronnds. And now, as the d6bris is being cleared
away, tbe Sheriff and the auctioneer vie with each
other in the collection of debts. At spots in and
outside the grounds are the ominous words, "Closed
by the Sheriff." Among the unfortunates ■who
hoped to reap a rich barvest^ot are now in the
hands sf the law, are, it is saia. tbe One-track Ele-
vated Railwav, - the George's Hill Observatory,
which stands like a giant overlooking the grounds;
tbe Campbell Press building, about which there
is a dispute with the builder concerning
some $15,000; the Violet Glass Houso, and the
Brazilian. Caf6. Tbe Grand Exposition Hotel, tho
largest near t^e grounds, was attached, but it is now
beliaved has been released, as it is said by those in-
terested that the claims, amounting to some
29.741 09, were settled this week. In the famous
Shanty-town tbe Sheriff has reaped a rich harvest,
coming in now for hie second or third sale of nearly
every bnilding there. What the inexorable minlun
ot the law leaves, the smiling and bland auctioneer
has nnder his care. First of these come tbe sales
of the buildings in'the grounds, which takes place
in tbe Judges' Hall on tbe 1st day of December
next. This comprises the Main Building, which
will be purchased by the Permanent Exhibition
Company; Asrlcultural Hall, the Carriage aud
Mineral Annexes, and about a dozen oth-
ers. The sum realized from this sale
goes Into the general fund, to pay back to
tbe stockholders a percentage of tbe amount of
money they subscribed. Outside tbe grounds all
tbe hotels are disposing of tbuir very full comple-
mem of hnnsebold furniture, and it is not unusual
to read in the auction oolumos of the newspapers,
"10,000 bedsteads for sale, and 20.000 yards of
caipet." As these goods are thrown npon the
market and must be sold*, since the parties who own
tbem are In want of cash, and will not need articles
of the like lor some years, they go for a mere song,
and the furniture and taonse-farnishing trade re-
ceives a shock whioh may cause tbe closilng up of
a number of eaiablishments. The numerous build-
ings will also be sold, and tbla will larther tend to
prostrate business, and it will not be surprising to
find those that do not secuFo ready purchasers soon,
in tbe bands of tbe Sheriff. Indeed thia latter offi-
cial is the moat popular liian heie jnst now.
Among the flnaa(4.tl'failnres of the great Exhibi-
tion is the mueb-abS.^ed Official Catalogue Compa-
ny, who bid to pay tlOO.OOO for the privilege of
printing and selling tbe catalogue. It is nnder-
etood that their expenses, adding the 1100,000, were
about $225,000, and that the receipts were far below
that figure. Tbe catalogue did not sell well, and
was very faulty, more especially the first editious
and the extras \ybioh were issued f r tbe live stock
and other extensions to the main Exposition. In a
kindly spirit, tbe Board of Finance, it is learned,
will make such concessions to the company as will
allow the parties interested in it possibly a small
margin, but at ahy rate, save them from utter anni.
hiia.ion. Now the tobaooo and cigar dealer.-j, W.
S. Fleming &■ Co.. who boaght a coaoession tor tbe
exclusive sale of the weed m the .grounds, for
some (16,000, refuse to settle with tbe
Finance Board, because. It is alleged, their business
was ruined by the manufacturers who had exhibits
in the Machinerv and Agricnltniat Halts, wbo gave
a.way totiscco of all kinds in unlimited qu3.ntities,
and tbe public did not patronize tbe booths where
tobacco waa sold j but rather crowded tbe place
wher.,' it could be bad free. Wich tbe other con-
cessionists tbere has been good fortace, ao tar as
can be leamed. Each ef the restamants which bad
buildings uf their own paid the sum ot {6,000 for
the privilege, aud erected their exclusive edinces.
Tbis ineludea tbe Grand American. Tiois Fr^res,
Lafayette, Lauber's^ and such like, while those par-
tita who had restaurants in tbe large
bhildings, like Gienn's, in tbe Main^
Building, and Whitney's, Ip Machinery Hail,
paid fo.OOO each for their privilege. On all
the goods sMd within the grounns, the Finance
Board exacted fifteen per cent, on tbe dollar, aud
daily returns were made of all sales to the Com-
mittee on Concessions. Of course, this did not in-
clude sales made where money bad been paid for a
concession, but on articles manufactured In the
grounds, such as candies, wooden toys, &o. Tbe
amount to be received frem this source of cnncea-
sions will be enormous, footing up over six hundred
thousand dollars. Taking a rough estimate, tfae total
receipts of tbe Exhibition, frem adoiissians, saloH.of
buildings, money received for concessions. Sec,
will be neariv seven millions of collars. When ihe
expenses are deducted, it will leave nearly five
millions for the stockholders, wbo, according to the'
strict interpretation of ibe act of Con-
gress, or rather the meaning put upou
it here, must be paid before the United
States Government, and then whatever remains "ia
profits," but perhaps not according tu Mrl HolmAu's
idea, and goea to the authorities at Washington.
Among tbe largest stockholders are the State of
New-Jersey, tlOO.OOO, and the merchants of Phila-
delphia, over bait a million. Tbe dividend to be
declared, which it is expected 'will be forthcoming
some time next Soring, will be about eighty per
cent., that being Just eighty cents more on the dol-
lar than those who subscrioed ever expected to see.

THE TOTAL CBNTBNNIAL RECEIPTS.
Philadelphia, Nov. 17. — The total of the
receipts from the Exhibition, from all sources,
from May 10 to Nov. 10, may be stated approxi-
imately as follows: From admission fees, (3,813,-
724 49; from concessions, 1290,000; from percent-
ages and royalties, $205,010 75; grand total, $4,308,-

swore that In 1S7S be had puvohaaed a silk um-
brella, also One in 1868, therefore be knew the value
of silk umbrellas. This one was worth five or six
dollars. Goldsmith's story is that in November,
1875, Mendonza, on a rainy night, had lent him the
umbrella, and knewtbat he was going to Buffalo;
that the umbrella waa an old one, two ef tbe nbs
■ticking through the silk, and tbe silk along the
ribs well irom^ he had left it in Buffalo ; bad not
heen asked for it, but as soon as tbe suit was com-
menced he had sentfor it. Counsel were employed
by both parties, and^thelr ringing eloquence sa-
luted the ears of the Justice, and after taking up
bis time the case was submitied."
YuLLE COLLEGE ALTJilNL
\ AT HOME AGAJy.
The younjt lady who ran away from her
father's bouse, on Saturday last, as described in
The Times, of Friday, was yesterday returned to
her family througb the efforts of the police. It
now appears that the young girl, on quitting her
home, sold some of her jewelry, and immediately
afterward engaged a room in a private bouse
tenanted by respectable people. On Wednes-
day she left that place and went
to Morrlsania, and on returning to
the City, disembarked from the beat at tne foot
of twen'ty-tbii'd street, thus escaping discovery by
Detective Williamson, who was awaiting tbe ar-
rival of the Doat at Peck slip. The Matron of St.
Barnabas Home, in Muliieriy street, admitted yes-
terday that sbe was mistaken when siie recognized
the photograph shown her by the Poiiae as that cf
tbe young girl wbo slept at the St. Barnabus. Th«
girl who stopped at the home on Sunday night was
Miss Kitty Gill, of Patterson, N. J., wbo, having no
m.ney to pay for a night's shelter, applied and was
received at the homo.
A PLEASANT REUNION AT DELMONICO'S—
FINANCIAL CONDITION OP THE SOCIETY.
The first social gathering since last May of
the members of tbe Yale College Alumni residibt
in this City, was held ilast evening ht Delmonico's
restaurant in Fifth avenue. About one hundred and
fifty graduates were present. Inthe absence of
Hon. William M. Evarts, tbe Chair,
man of the association. Dr. J. W. Peet
presided. Mr. B. W. De Forest, Secretary, read
the minutes of the previous meeting, and Gen. Jo-
seph C. Jackson, Treasurer, the financial report.
Among those present were Messrs. A. H. Stevens,
A. De Witt Baldwin, C.barl^s A. Miller. Eugene
Smith, Charles G. Morton, E. B. Stedman,
W. B. Ross, William A. Fuller, and William
Bliss. The reports.of the Secretary and Treas-
urer showed tbat the association was in excellent
condition in point of membership and financially.
It is estimated that tbere are about five hundred
graduates of Yale in the City, and the association
coo nts nearly two hundred on its roll. Organized
in 1873, it has given from seven t,o eight entertain-
ments everv year, aud ali ot them have
been very enjoyable. •T?he meeting last
night was of the most Mnformal character.
Tbe Chairman marie a biief ad(7i;B£S at the opening,
^nd-Mr. WUiiam Bliss made a few remarks. Tbe
last-named gentleman stated as an interesting fact,
that Mr. James Knox, of Knoxville, III, a
graduate of Yale, of tbe class , of 1830, now
dead, had left the college a contingent
bequi>8t. He bad set aside in bis will tbe sum of
$80,000 for tba establishment of an agricultural
college in Illinois, provided that tbe sum of $40,000
was subscribed by others in six months. If
tbe latter amount was not raised, Yale
College is to receive ^0,000 of the
monev willed and Hamilton College a like sum.
Mr. Knox had already given $67,000 to Tale, Hamil-
ton, aud St. Mary's Colleges, and Mr. Bliss tnougbc
It was an evidence of remarkable liberality on his
part when it was considered that his entire fur-
tune was estimated to be not more than 8^0,000.
After a collation, the company spent a very plea:^-
aht time. The old college songs were sung with
great glee, and everybody was aelighted with the
musical performances of a qaartet composed of
Messrs. H. Lymau, H. B. FriHell, Charles Latting,
H. H. Chittenden, and Col. E. L. Gaul. Tne next
entertainment of tbe ssaociation will take place at
tbe Union League Tbeatre, aud all graduates in the
City will be iovited. It will be given on Dec. 8. It
is intended to be a brilliant affair, ciuculated to
revive recollections of those "Thanksgiving Ju-
bilees" of Alma Mater, which will bs evergreen in
tbe memories of Yale students. Tbe chief feature
of the entertainment will be Pool's travesty of
"Hamlet." .
A REMARKABLE SILVER STORY.
The Portland (Oregon) Bee has tbe following
story: "Rumors are rifo on the streets concerning
a most remarkable discovery of silver in Wasco
County, Tbe stories floating about tell of nothing
less than acres of b( iliog sorings which, instead of
water, flow streams ot chloride of silver. Ship
loads of precious met.tl are represented to be in
sight, in tbe shape of soapy gray substance, some-
what resembling quicksilver. The molten aaasses
oubble and boil with escaping gases. Tbe sub-
stance is so heavy that a stone will not sink i.i it,
but a stick or crowbar may be torued down into toe
pools of wealth 'several feet, when tbe immense
gravity of the mass will throw it back into the air
like an arrow shot from an Indian's Dow. At least
a hundred and sixty acres is covered with these
springs, ranging Irom a few feet to a hun-
dred yards across. E.ioh one is surrounded
with a rim of orystalized silver. Tbe
depth has not yet been imagined, but tbe
vast wealth in siiibt is enough to miike every man
in Oregon a bonanza king. AH you have to do is
to back a cart up to the edge of your spring and
load it with money. Some people mav think we
are drawing on our own imagioation fur these
statements, but sucb is not tbe case. We merely
tell what, we bear. Some of tbe silver amalgam,
said to be from these labuious springs, has posi-
tively been assayed by a gentleman in this city,
and pronounced to be precipitated chloride of sil-
ver, worth 19,000 per ton. It this should oe true,
the Comstock lode would not be worth working.
Nevada would be deserted, and the silver springs
of Oregon become tbe wonder of the world. Tbe
original discoverers are said to have been in tbe
city purchasing supplies, and to have oeparted by
tbe Dalles boat this morning, while a rival party
has been fitted out by ottierEi, wlio claim to Know
the whereabouts of tbe 'find,' who go by pony ex
press by the way uf Alb<iuy and the Minco Pass, to
get in ahead of the oltaer^."

THE WALKLSG.MATOR.
The walking-match between Miss Mary
Marshall and Peter Van Ness, for $500 a side, tbe
Stakes to be awarded to the one who shall make
the best time iif walking twenty miles, two nigbta
out of three, was coatlnued last evening in Central
Park Garden. Miss Marshall made the best time
on Thursday night, but Van Ness, last evening, was
in splendid condition, and completely distanced bis
competitor. Her best iime was a mile in thirteen
minutes and flfieen seconds, and his in ten
miaates and thiriv secontls. There was consider-
able e.Kcitement, and early in the evening it yrna
thought that Miaa Marshall would be tfae winner.
Sbe walked very steadily, and seemed to be in good
condition, but Van Ness, who kept off tbe track in
the early Oiirl of the eveninji, put in a biiWiant teu-
mile "spurt" later in tbe evening, and thereby dis-
tanced his fair competitor. Sbe walked steadily
most of tne evening, only leaving the track once.
It will require tlii* evening's trial to decide who is
the winner. ^^^^
THE STORT OF AN UMBRELLA.
The Kochester Express of Thursday says :
"The Judicial miiid of Justice Wooden was occu-
pied yesterday afternoon with the important suit of
Mendonza againat Goldsmith. The subioct matter
of the action was, as Mendonza alleged, an umbrella
made of silk, purchased in the Brazils five years
ago, used by him since that time, and so dear to
said Mendonsa's heart that he swore its value was
SIO after all these years of wear and tear. This
umbrella, he said, in November, H875, at Hemlock
Lake, was wrongfully and with malice aforethought
taken by Goldsmith and converted by blm to nis
own use, and that he had not asked Goldsfaiith for

A RATS MISTAKEN JOURNEY.
The Montreal Witness contains the following:
" Yesterday evening a reporter for a morning oon-
tompory was engaged writing up his items, when be
suddenly aud quite unintentionally famished an
item himself. He was so engrossed in describing
the mysteiios of the Police Court that be did not no
tiue an ancient and T\ide-looking rat wbo was out on
a prospeoiiug tour, aud was examiiiiug minutely
tbe innd about the bottom of the reporter's panta-
loons. The mud seemed ot good quality and tbe rat
hei^an to nibble It ;!(lie reporter buuume conscious nf
aoine unusual going on about his pedal extrumi ies,
aud gave a kicK, tbuu the trouble be;ian. The rat
made a spring aud commenced a voyage of dtscov-
erv up tbe leg of (be repor er's pantaltions ; the re
;<orter gave a Jump and a bowl of asioiii-ibment, up-
set his chair, pearly overturning the taole, and yel-
led ' thieves,' while the rat squealed 'murder' as
plainly as a rat can. The rat
cuutiuued bis explorations until the panta
loons got too tight tor him to go higher. Then he
took a good hold of tbe reporter's thigh, and the
reporter a good grip on him and began to dance.
The reporter is an exemplary young man, and not
given to Terpsicborean exercises; but when tbe
cumpositors aud clerks from the business ofiice,
attracted by his cries, entered the room, they found
bim cutting such fantastic capers that they
thought be was either crazy, or was practising a
ijCW 'fling' for the St. Amirew's 'Society 'ball.
Still tbe rat held on, and still tbe reporter kept bia
grip. Tbe situation was becoming serious. How
was the rat to be got out ! At lust a brilliant idea
struck the reporter. He began to take off his
pantaloons, still holding tbe rat, and, when he had
removed them, a general onslaught was made on tbe
unfortunate rodent, and be waa quickly dispatched,
a compositor almost decapitating him with a col-
umn-rule."
TBE FEVER IN SAVANNAH.
The Portland (Me.) Press prints the subioined
extract from a letter written by a native of that
city, who fur many years has been a resident of
Savannah, Ga.: "You can have no idea of what we
have passed througb during the last two months,
Language cannot describe it. Oue must be a wit-
ness in order to realize it. The fever badarun
of a little over two months — short, but terribly
severe and awful. Nearly fifteen hundred persons
have died in a population of about eighteen thou-
sand. Among tbem were five Roman Catholic
priests, one Episcopal and one Methodist clergy-
nfab, two physicians, nine druggists and assistants,
six Sisters' of Morcy, aud numerous nurses. Tho
lever has been quite different from that ol 1854, as
then the blacks were generally exempt from attack,
there being then not over tive or six oases, while
this season it attacked all alike. As tbere was no
employment in tbe wo; king cesses, great distress
began ro be felt almost immediately for want of the
common necessaries of lite, and consequently ap-
p4aiS were made for assistance. These were an-
sivered at once in the most kmdly aud liberal maD-
uer, money and supplied being sent in from evi.'ry
quarter, and 1 am happy to say that Portland did
her share in the good work. Medicines and pro-
visions have been furnished to thousands by this
liberality. Multitudes must otherwise have starved
to death or died tor waut uf medical attendance.
The disease seems to have spent itself — thanks be
to God ! — and we are happy in peace and prosperity,
altuough it will take a long time for Savannah tu
recovar from tbe sad effocis of the pestilence, iu
the loss of nearly tbe entire Fall business of the
city."
HOPS IN CALIFOIiNIA.
The San Diego (Cal.) Union of the 8th inst.
says : "The hop crop in California this year prom-
ises to pay better than almost, any other deparf.
ment of agriculture. There baa boon more hops
raised this season than in any previous year in the
histoiy of the State. The counties in which tho
business is most extensively followed are San Joa-
quin, S^nta Clara. Saoramen o, aud Napa. Hops
are also largely raised in Puyallup Val:ey, Watsii-
lugton Territory. Oue acre in hopa afrer the see-
ond year's planting produces, iu buitable soils,
about 2,000 pounds to the acre. The present price
ranges from twenty-four to twenty-eight cents per
pound. Taking the lowest figure, one acre iu bops,
this year should realize the farmer J480. But this
is an unusually good season for price, and the ex-
pense of cuUivalioa is above that of ordinary
articles of agriculture."

LAW REPORTS. '
TEE FABBELL MUBDEB CASE.
A VEBDICT WHICH DISAPPOINTED THE
COURT— JOHN TAIFFE CONVICTED OF
MAN8LADGHTEK IN THB FOURTH DE-
GHEB.
At the opening of Part L of the Court of
General Sessions yesterday. Recorder Hackett-oom-
menced his charge to the Jury in the oase of John
Taeffe, charged with the murder of his employer,
John Farrell, at No. 519 West Twenty-eighth street,
on Sunday, April 16. His Honor, with much clear-
ness, reviewed the testimony of the principal wit.
nesses, and instructed the jury iu relation to the
law on the different grades of homicide, and
its application to the ease they were sworn, to
decide. If, he said, they.believed from all the evi-
dence i^ the oasej that the prisoner had with pre-
meditation and deliberation designed to kill the
deceased or anybody else, it was their bonnden duty
to convict him of murder in the first degree, as
charged in the indictment. If on the contrary,
they found that at the time he nred the tatal shot
be was In danger of hi« life and acted in self-defense,
it was their duty to acquit him. If, again, they
believed that the shooting was accidental, they
were bound to take that fiot into serious considera-
tion in arriving at a decision. ^, ^
Ex-Judge Kicbsrd Busteed, senfejr counsel for
the prisoner, banded up a carefully prepared list of
requests to charjife, all but two of which the Re-
corder charged. The Inry retired at 12 M., and
after three boors' deliberation, returned inio court
and requ sted the Kecorder to reinstruct them on
the law in relation to the second degree of murder,
and the different grades of manslanghter. His
Honor instructed them very fully on these points,
and they again retired. After u few minutes' de-
liberation they again came intp court, ano, amid
breathless excitement, rendered a verdict of guilty
of niauslanguter in the fouith degree.
The verdict was a surprise to evgrybody. and to
none more so than the prisoner, who evidently
seemed unable to realize his narrow escape.
Assistant District Aiforney Bell having moved
foe sentence, Recorder Hackett said that the case
was the clearest one of murder in the first degree,
but the prisoner had a sympathetic Jury who nad
found him guilty of the lowest grade ot man-
slaughter. His Honor then sentenced Taeffe to two
years' in State Prison at hard labor. The prisoner's
Ingenious and successful defense was conducted by
ex-Judge Hiohard Busieed, who was asiisted by
Assistant District Attorney Downing, of Suffolk
County, Long Island. '
UNITED STATES SUPREME COUBT.
WABBTiNQTOijr, Nov. 17.— The following oase
was argued in tbe Supreme Court yesterday :
No. 94. — WhiUtide et al. vs. United States. — Ap-
peal from tbe Conn of Claims — This wss a salt to
recover f 17, 356 alleged to have bean expended by
claimants In hiuiing, baling, and gianlog cotton-iu
Arkansas in 1865, under a couiraoi with an Assist-
ant Specie Agent tf the Treasury, made at Cam-
den, by tho teims of which Whiteside «fc Co. agreed
10 proceed to Litayette County and procure evi-
dence to establish the right of the Government to
cotton there, and to put it iBtosbioping order and
transfer it to Camden lor a half interest
in all cottons condemned ; and in all cases
of release after seizure, upon sufficient evi-
dence. Whiteside &. Co. were to be repaid
all expenses of trausportaiion, &c. Subse-
quently a consi#erable quantity of cotton collected
aud baled and delivered at Camden, was restored to
the claimants by Gen. May, and this suit was to
recover for the expenses in the oollection, && The
court hen} that tbe contract relied on by tbe claim-
ants, not being approved bvtheSuoervising Special
Agent of the Treasurv, was incomplete, and no
benefit baying resulted to the Government from its
alleged fulfillment, there is no legal or equitable
ground for recovery. Also that, if tbe contract
was valid, the loss to the claimants was caused by
tbe illegal seizure cf Gen. May, and for that act the
Government is not liable. Tbe exact reverse of
these propositions is urged here, that the oontract
was obligatory upon tbe G-overnment as executed,
and that the regulatiupa of tbe depariment show
this, and that tbe United States were not dic:-
cbarged from liability by the unlawful and arbi-
trary act» ixf their military commander. Ooseph

SUIT FOR THB REOOY^RY OF OOMMIS-
SlOiSS.
In 1857 Stephen Alden and Selah Chamber-
lain were railroad contract-irs, and, among other
things, contracted for the bnilding of the La Crosse
and Milwaukee Railroad. They subsequently dis-
solved the partnership, aod Mr. AlUen, acting in'
the capacity of a broker, negotiated a number of
sales and purchases of stocks and bonds for
bis former partner. He now brings suit
to recover commiseians on transactions ^cover-
ing tbe sale of (4,500.000 worth of land
grant bonds cf the La Crosse and Milwaukee
Railroad Company ; $1,000,000 worth ot two per
cent, bonds ; $2,230,000 worth of tbe stock of tbe
above-named company; for negotiating ¥250,000 of
mortgage bonds, Iniowu as farm mortgages, and for
several other money transactions, among them
being the payment of' iiuarantees whioh Chamber-
lain had, as he alleges, neglected to pay. He has
also another suit pending tor au accounting on tbe
part of Chamberlain iu tbe complaint, in whioh it
is set forth that during their partner-
ahip a large amount of stock was sold
to different parlies, whioh afterward proved to be
worthless. Subseauent to the dissolution the parties
who had purchased these stocks brought suit
against Alden aad recovered judgments amounting
to about one hundred thousand dollars. The matter
waj yesterday broufeht before Judge Lawrence,
holding Supreme Court, Chambers, on a motion by
the defendants to compel the plain iff to furnish a
further bill if particulars. Toia was opposed by
ciiuusel on tbe ground that they h&i already fur-
nished all the particulars they had. The court took
tbe papers, reserving decision.

AN ALLEGED SWINDLES ABBESTED.
HOW A BOGUS COMMISSION MBKCHANT "VIO-
TIMIZBD BIS CDSTOMEBS-T-MUMESOUS
COMPLAINTS AGAINST TH? PRISONER.
George F. Parker, said to be a notorious swin-
dler, and against whom a score pf complaints have
been lodged, was arrested on Thursday night, after
a patient watching, at his reaid^noe. No. 283 Fulton
Street. Brooklyn, by Dateotlves O'Connor an& Field,
of the District Attorney's office. It appears tb^t
Parker kept . a bogus -commission ot&oe ajt
No. 218 Fulton ^treeti New-York, from
whence be Issued circulars to farmers and
producers, pffering liberal mdnoements, and suc-
ceeded in securing numerous consignments from
various parts of the State. These wares Parker
disposed of, and appropriated the nrooeeds to bis
own use. The aendera rarely if ever found him,
and the olaims of those who socoeeded in inter-
viewing himV he satisfied with bogoa checks on the
Bank of the Metropolis, or worthless fifeen-day
notes. He never had a cent on deposit in that
Lank, and waa not knowo to tbe officers,
wt^ose attention was first attracted to his name
by tbe large amount of worthless paper beanog hi»
signature, presented to them by- bis victims. Tbe
complaints against the swindle' became so pressing
that the aid of the District Attorney's office was
invoked, and Assistant District Attorney Horace
Russell, who worked up the oase, bad ai#bench-war-
rant issued for tbe arrest of Parser. The accused
was brought to the District Attorney's office, yes-
terday, and committed to the Tombs in default
of $5,000 bail. District Attorney -BasBcll is
in daily receipt of ooinpiainta against
Parker, anti will undoubtedly hear
from the remainder cf his victims, as soon as the
£a'.:t of bis arrest becomes known. Among the
swindling tiautsactians already recorded acaiust
Parker are tbe fv/llowiog: Bepjamia F. C-ark,
Montgomery County, N. T., fivi- barrels of eggs ;
Ijatban Heckmao, Kutztowp Feun., produce ;
Knox, the hatter, two hats ; Wi.liam Henderson,
sbirt-makers, a quantity "fsuirts; John JConva'.inka,
No. 36 Mai iF-n lane, a seal sacque aod mufi (ordered
by aa ioiagiuary country cnseumer,) va ued at SLIO.
Iu September. 1872, he gave tp the proprietor of the
Washington Hotel in payment of a board bill for
himself and bis wif>3 a worthless check fur |19S on
the Bank of the Metropolis, where, uf course, it was
diahouotea, and had Equally frauduleni, money
tiansactions with other persons.

THE OASE OF THE BOT ACROBATS.
In the matter of tbe habeas oorpus proceed-
ings instituted by Alfred Smith to obtain the cus-
tody from th"e Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children of the three boy acrobats, Joseph Dono-
hue, Alfred T. Ellis, and Henry Ellis, Judge West-
brook. has written au elaborate opinion, dismissing
tbe wpits and remanding the childreu to the custody
of tbe society. The boys, it will be remem-
bered, were oommiited to the care of the society
bv the Recorder of Poughkeepaie, unner chapter
124, of tbe Laws of 1876. The evidence taken iu the
oaiie showed goou treatment of tbe children on the
part of the relator. Smith, aud the only claim made
was that he was using them tor an unlawful uut-
XKiae. The Judge says the law above cited makes
" tho nse, employment, or exhibition of children
under sixteen years of age. by any person, fur any
such purposuas Smith has used and held them, a
misdemeanor. By section 3 of the aot. the Recor-
der of the City of Poughkeepsie was fully author-
ized to make the order committing i hem to the care
of the society aforesaid." It is further held (hat
the aot ot the Recorder in cormmitLing tho children,
waa a final judgment in tbe matter,
aud was not reviewable by habeas
c..rpu» provided hl3 court was a "competent" tri-
bunal. The relator claimed that the act conferring
'the power on the Rocorder was not coDstltutloual,
aud that, therefore, he was not "competent" to
takeisuch action. In regard to this otdut Judge
Westbrook holds that the word "oorapetent" is
not used in tbe Habeas Corptu aot in tbe senss
,clslmsd. In tht» sense meant bv the Habeas Comna.

/Among tke contributors to "this '^JRfvtmfl
brewmedf the best kno'mi &»me« mi both,
brides of the Atlantie. Befote tbe work waa bfr-
gBB, three years ago, the yttblishers took the
preeaation to uooxe for tte pages writers of
acknowledged emlnfiiioe ;, aad, althoash.the
list oew contains a .^few mediocrities/; to
nse the mildest term that i is aoplioable to
them, the principle whioh was^ adopted at the
iflrst has heen^ persevered in. Tet, when we
l^anoe at tlxs three Yolames jnst completed, wer
are eoapelled to regard t)i»,Jnt«maUonalIl»-
viet0 as one of the tttronjtest eyidenoes in recent
iiterfttore of the fikoility « with , which able
aaen can oompose heavy >■ and , uninterestiDg'
work. Regard for the feelinj^ of the pablish-v
CIS may be urged as a something whioh sheold;
have prevented us from makinjt this remark ;
but any diffidenoe that it might have givenrisa
to is quite removed by reasons whioh are to be ez-
plainod. Of eoorse, the contribators themselves
Jtave no such feelings, or if they have, they have
'»o right to them.' They are at once disquali-
fied for writiog ffr the public if they possess
any sennbiUty other than the exaot amount,
and that of the right kind, wbioh would enable
them to do hotter in the fature as the result - of
a little wholesome oritloism.
<■ We have very grave doubts : whether the
'pearlier parts of the JBeview were mueh read. —
|We have no doubt whatever as to the difficnltv
«f reading them, and for the reason stated—
the artioles ware heavy to a degree that was
almost remarlcable. Indeed, we set a value
on the first volnme for this same qaality* It is
4Uite well known to practical literary men, that
thefkot that a man eau preside well over a
ooltege, or preaoh a good sermon, or conduct
; a eoiantifio investigation in the laboratory —
aay, or even write a good book, ■ is no proof,
, Nrhatever that he can oontribate successfully
to a review, a m^j^azine, or a newspaper. But
- better evidence of this truth is nojrhere to be
JEound than in the earlier portions of the work
pMforens. If the nroprietors bad in the first
butaaoe looked less anxiously after prominent
laames to put in their list of contributors, and
l»d sought rather for -trriters who were better
ikilledimtheldndof work that they wanted
Bom, they would certainly have produced
MBiething more interesting, and therefore more
BteiQl, bat they wonld not have given us such
[valuable evidence of the difference often to be
f^mind, in literature as everywhere else, between
CheoiT; and praotioe.
But we must allow to them the highest credit
fbr perseveraaoe under these unfavorable cir-
(Bomstaases; and we must congratulate them
pa the success whioh has . rewarded their
aftirts. The improvement .that has . taken
blaoe la the International ^ Review is pal-
pable, and although we have often passed it
pytmnotioed rather than lend it the disoourage-
■wnt of unfavorable criticism, we are now mere
^ Willing te commend it as a work that
1 reoeive the attention of both the English
Etha American publie. We do not deny
there ia still room for improvement in the
tica we have indicated. The general tone
'tbib arbsles may t>e popularized without any
led iiidicatio& of scholarship or impoverisb-
it in detail, but the progress already made
W a guarantee, as wa take it, that further pro-
|ns8 will be aooomplished, even if the present
Kate of the work did not jostily, as it does, the
imniBendation we have given it.
.' The plan upon whioh the BcvUw was found-
sd is axeelleiit, and it Ixas been lojallr adhered
lo. The time has come; when thinking people,
bhoM thoutthts are wo^h anythine, both in
BaKlsnd and Amerioa, ue anxious to stren^^h-
an every bqnd that already exists between the
^o nations, to make new ones where there is
room for them, and ito create i a sense.
Slot only •• of . amity, but of / unity,
hroughout '' the Anclo-Sazon world.
kbere are plenty '^ef ' ignorant and > bigo ted
yoribblers in the oolamns ot newspapers, and
klso in the maftazines, who ■■ are persistently
^oing their best to defeat this utention, bat such
|oamala. however prominent be the position
ferUch thnr proprietors olaim for them, do n^t
lUriy represent the better tone of American
^pii^ra, and it is but Just te the intelligent
^^ortion of our people that the world should
|mow this. . A work that is thoroaghly inter-
jBationalta its character mast serve to oounter-
ket the tendencies ef such prejudiced writers,
^nd as these persons are ever ready to distort
the truth to suit their -own ends, ■ medium
Where questions whioh have an interest in both
aemispheNs oan be aeourately presented ^s
more valuable. No one needs to go beyond
record oi recent afEairs in £astem Europe,
<r tlxe late Arotio expedition, or the policy
d character of the present Ministry in 6reat
pritain, to And how thoroughlv and invariably
jfakotM are distortedr'and fictions and oalumniea
hre invented oonoerfting European politics and
Mher subjects In order to prejudice the mind
Vf the American reader. : If the oonductois of
)iu Intemattonal Beview wonld but follow the
preat events of the day as they are thus ml»-
tepresented some ef in the leading Journals of
ibe aountry, they would fl^ an ample variety
'\ l|f iateresting topics, and an almost unlimited
Sield for the aseful exsroise ' of the views of
their contributors.
\ The number under notice eontains seven pa-
Ws, all of which %re ably written.^* But there
are two which, with most readers, will /prove
laors attraetive thanthe rest. " Transcendental •
Ism in New-England," upon j whioh . Dr. Samuel
jpsgood has something to say, has , become a
Weil'Wom topio. We do not think that Mr.
prothingham hlMxaelf oan be otherwise i than
Bontented with the amount of attention that
has been given to it "Journals aind Journalists )
in Italy," by Prof A de Gabernatis, , is a
faloable contribution, that will be read when
tome ef the others are disposed of ; hut being
tead, will be appreciated. A notice of Mr. P.
|g1: Hamerton is genial and fu'l of interest ; and
Eon Frenon hteratore and the Evangel-
ussian Church — ^the one by the Princess
^ . . the other by Dr. Dorner, are irorthy of
|>eTUsal. But others, on the history ef Parlia-
fcaentary representation, by Ed^kgrd JPreeman.
and on the Chinese question, by Dr. Edwin
blansfield, are more immediately ' attraotive,
bnd olaim more thaii a passing notice here.
IBnglish authors too eemmonly seem to think
that when they are writing for American read-
ers thev must de something different from
prhattheir judgment would guide then to do
It they were writing for their own countrymen.
^e accomplished author of the paper under
■ bonsideration is not &ee &om this weakness.
Ee sketches m the present article an outline of
the origin and progress of parliamentary repre-
pentation from the earliest English periods ;
bad, so lar as the sketch is strictly historical,
5t is genially aoourate. But he is so impressed
;hroagbout with the thought that he is 'nriting
for American readers that he cannot forego
felling us of the fact, and indirectly showing
jthat his views are somewhat tempered by ' it^^
In some respects, too, the artiole must be re-,-
jgmrdedas a defense of ^the writer's previously
jpublished opinions. '• - ■ ' • •. v^ ';r /;*
• Besides tracing the historieal progress' of rep-
^•Mentation, Mr. Ifreeman seeks to define, the
fi»us and relations of the two houses ' of ' the
'CgLilature. He draws the c attention of his
American readers— for certainly his < English
readers did not need to be remiadedfof it— to'
llie lact that the, :House of Lords it'the^true
representative of the old English Witeaagemot,
ah»t it iv tharelk«a^tbaj»«ejMi(
tt)p»ps--f icR\ gTiimg, t^smm^r^mc^^ iK^m(i,-^w;i\ r j^/^itnmtt:
being
rightly the ^ first house — ^the Commons
the second r chamber. Whereas, -in all other'
systems 5 of ^' dual -i representation, i,the . lower
chamber — a ; term ' whioh we uje for want of a,
bettelr— is the f first house, and the upper cham-
ber the second. V We shall see presently how he_,
regards the constitntion ot the American Con-
gress ; but in the meanwhile we must take «-i
oeptien to some ot his opinions m regard to the
British House ef Lords.
That house may truly be . said to be the an
oient Witeaagemot of England, and It still re-
tains many of the'' most important privileges
whieh it . had in pre-Nerman times. {"But modi-'
fications in some other respects hare, ot course,,
taken place, and it is in respect ' to I the nature
of those ' modifications > that y». Mr. I Freeman's
opinions^ will be contested, f He . says, for in-
stance, { " the ' House of Lords ^ is the original
popular assembly of the nation' shrunk jip into
an exclusive body." ■ Whereas ^ the truth seems'
rather to be that the House . ot Lords has been
extended into a far less exclusive body, and"
that is the view whioh we^think Prof. Stubbs, ';
a better authority than Mr. Freeman : upon a
question of this kind, would be inclined to
hold. "The Peers,'.' he tells us,' "are those
among Englishmen who have never lost the
right, once common to all Englishmen, of per-,
sonal attendance in the assembly ot the nation." '
And if this statement be true, the former is also
true. But w,as the right in . question common
to all Englishmen f ■ Undoubtedly not. Does
Mr. Freeman mean to tell us that the villains
of the Saxon period had the ri^Af of persoaal ,
attendance in the Witenagemot ? If he does,
we do not see how he can sustain such an. hy-
pothesis, though we know he has always in--
slated that the Witenagemot was a democratic
institution. Prot. Stubbs thinks otherwise, -
and, apart from his greater weight as an au -
thority on constitutional questions, there fean be
no doubt that he has the strongest evldenoe in
his favor. He holds that the Witenagemet was
an assembly of the> chief men ef the country,,
and therefore an aristocratic body, an opinion
which, apart from the testimony in its favojr,
is the more compatible with the constitution 6t
society at the time, and moat in accord with
the changes that grew up afterward. Upon no
other theory can be satisfactorily explained
the growth of the hereditary right to be sum-
moned to bear office, or the fact that for a
long time the Earls and Bishops were the
only persons who held these positions by that
hereditary right. On the theory supported by
Mr. Stubbs, and which seems the more reason-
able, as well as tke one best sustained by actual
evidence, we must regard the House ot Lords
of the present day as having a wider ■ field of
representation than it had— not in Saxon times, ,
though the necessity for that exception is
doubtful — but ' subsequently, when the present
system began to take shape.
Bearing in mind, however, Mr.j Freeman's
views concerning the House ot Lords, it is in-
teresting to notice his opinions « (Concerning the
constitution of Congress, and especially of the
United States Senate. He holds that the
American Gonstitutionis not an imitation of the
English Constitution, but, " the thing itself"
He does not give his reasons for this theory,i
and we cannot divine them. If he makes the
statement because he feels that he is writina
artifioers : and mechanics,^ will be brought into
direet^oompetition^ wlth^the^labor of ^tbe tse-
oalled civilized nations.}^ The inevitable eonse-'
qaenoe in the near future of influences now ao-
tively at work in Indian China, and; elsewhere,,
must be fairly, edsoounted in all considerations^"
of questions relating ' to the people of those
countries.
In the subsidiary portions of the contents of
this number of the Sevievo we have a valuable'
letter on art in Europe addressed to its Amen- V
can readers by Mr. Hamerton, a brief notice of
contemporary literature, and some notes on
soientifio progress. These last are none > too
copious, and we are not'sure that their appear-
ance is not itself a little incongruous, but the !
pages devoted to reviews • of new boojcs < are
well in place. <•■ If these reviews were more in-
dependent, if they evinced mote Judicial dis-i
crimination, energy, and research ; if the penf
that sent them forth had a little courage, too,*
and a little less of the evident anxiety to please^,
everybody at the cost of a great deal of publio|.
duty, they would have a valuo whioh we oan->
not as yet attribute to them, v Any relaotance'
whioh we might otherwise have In alluding to
these shortcomings — all ot which may readily'
be corrected — ^is dissipated by the • feeling not
only that the International Review has now
fairly established a position among the best of
our social literature, but that it has very sub-
stantial claims to public favor, and that those
claims are growing stronger as the work pro-
oeeds. —

the reason is quite supei-flaous. r But note the
subsequent line of argument: ''As a general
rule a second legislative chamber is not a neces-
sity. " The State may work better with it, but
it oan get on without it. Being thus an artificial
chamber, instead of an indispensable element, a
luxury and not a necessity, it has not ' the same
ground to stand upon as either the executive or
poularbraneh." ■ We do not deny the truth of
this. Mr. Freeman, however, . applies it gen-
erally, . and he makes two exceptions — the
House of Lords and the United States Senate.
In the case of the . former, . the ; rea-
sons are obvious to anybody who
knows the history and the , fuActions of that
body, but the reasons given by Mr. Freeman
in the latter are worth noting. They ara based .
on the supposition that tho ayatem of govern-
ment of this Bepublio is still a confederation of
independent States. He regards the Hous^f
Kepresentatives, as he would regard the corre-i;
spending House in , any portion ot the English-^
speaking world, as - the popular branch of the
legislature — the people's chamber ; but - he re-
gards the Senate as the : representative ot a
series of independent States under a oenfedera-
tion. In this way he looks upon our " second
chamber" as. a necessity,, not a luxury, , and.
he does not flmch from ■ stating the loeical out-
come of such an< opinion, by admitting that
" if in any of the Federal States ■ the later tie
oi eoafederation should ever be exchanged for
complete consolidation, the 'special necessity
fer the existence of the Senate will p ass away."
Mr. Freeman fails to perceive . the ineonsist-
ency of part of his argument. -FOr if the Senate
be only an expediency rendered necessary by
the confederate form of our Government, it
can^t be either an imitation or a continuation
of the House of Lords, in a country where the
fundamental principle is widely different from
confederation,^ to say inothing of the vast dif-;
ferences of circumstance, social as well as polit-
ical, which exists between the two forms. The
other theory as to how; far the character and
utility of the Senate ' are : dependent upon the
principle ef confederation, is i^ at least interest-
ing for the opening it makes Unto a wide field
for speculation.
In dealing 1 with ^ the i Chinese question, ;Dr.
Mansfield follows a line of argument whioh we
commend te the attention of the Chinese them-
selves. -It '^ is just : such an one as they
might use in defense of their refusal ' to ^ admit,
foreigners within the t limits . of their ' country.
His statement is summed up^^ in '. three , proposi-
tions. \ He asserts that there is reason to fear
the consequence arising from Chinese immi-
gration ; then that there is a right inherent in '
the Government to prevent that immigration ;'
and lastly that that right should be exercised.
We have not space to follow him through the
details > of . his paper, • but we - may sug-

such reputation as he possesses by systemati-
cally abusing the policy and institutions of his
own country, and thus may enjoy but little re-
spect there, he has won for the same reason an
amount of favor ■ here which . Dr. Mansfield
will not disregard. A study of. the history,

that in his advocacy of laws to limit immigration
— and he seems to dread the Irish jhardlyi^ less
than the Chinese — he ^ has no rlttht^to mention
England and France as being in the\same post- ,
tion.\. Nobody is prevented from going to those

tribntiona from James Freeman Clarke, .Mrs. H.

Hiram Eich, and Edward E. Hale, who stood as

the public. D. Apploton i- & Co. have , brought
out a new illustrated edition of Brj/ant't

J. B. Osgood & Co have published Longfellow's Skele-
ton in Armor, one of his most characteristic poems,
with a Qouble line of illustrations. ■■ The poet con-
nects his ballad with the Eound Tower at Newport,
and makes it the connecting link between the skel-
eton oooe dag up at Pall Eiver, and snppojsed to be
the remains of a Norse adventurer, clad in
armor, and the present day. Th^ idea of tbe poem
is to weave the pathos of human life and tragedy
into this event, and the artiata bad before them tha
task of reproducing to the eye the poet's concep-
tion. Mr. L. S. Ispen, a Norse artist, baa done this
by emblematical borders, inclosing each stanza and
, Illustrating the text by vignettes -withiu the bor,;
ders, which catch the spirit of the poem. Mlaa'
Mary A. Hallock attempted a bolder , line of work,
and has farnisbeJ fuU^page illustrations of each
stanza, not repeating Mr. Ispen'e work, but giving
larger scope to her illusttations, and suocessiuUy
reprodricing the action of the poem. The drawings
are entirely original, and Mr. Anthony, the beat
wood-engraver in the country, has not spared him-
self in the exquiaite finish of hia own work. The
leaalt is a volame which may easily be surpassed
In the more elaborate lllustratloDi of other gift-

or tone for the same money, and whioh gives one
much confidence in the future of American art.
Soribnsr, Armstrong & Co. take as their illaatrated
book Dr. floliaad'* The Mistress of the Manse, ta
which Miss Hallock's lovely figure-pieces are one
of the chief attraotlona, though flgare-piecos by

POLITICAL MISCELLANY.

TBB riCTOBY IN WISCONSIN.
PKMOCBATIO TBSTIMOJfY OF THE THOllOUGH-
NKS8 or THK BBPUBLICAN CANVAS.S.
' The Milwaukee correspondent of the Chicago
Times writes thus: "Now that the figures are
practically oast an in thia State and the truth is
known, it may be profitable to inquire how It is
the Democrats made stich miscalculations. In the
first place there Is a strong disposition to cast the
blame on the Chioago cootmittee, who are charged
with taking away the few speakers sent to the
State, with neglecting to send others, and with re-
fnaing to suopiv money for oamDaign purpofees, '
Usving It to the local cominittees, ' consisting
almoat wholly of comparatively poor men, to
defray the cost and bear the burden of one of the
m^st desperate campaigns ever experienoed. Jn
addition to this, thev claim that th« Grangers as a
body have gone back to the Bepublioans; that the
combination of hard and soft money on the Presi-
dential ticket was fatal among the great mass of the
Germans ; and, finally, that there waa neither State
organization nor unity In the canvass. The Repub-
licans simply olaim that Wiaconsin is a RBpubllcan
State on all national questions, and if it had gone
Democrattu there would have boen cause for sur-
prise. The fact seems to be that the Republican
organization was simply perfect. Mr. Kevee, of
Madison in the West, ana Mr. Payne, of Milwau-
kee in the East, have had sole control of the party
machinery for several elections, and are thoroughly
acquainted with the ground. Nothing escaped
their vigilance. Nothing was snfi'ered to transpire
without their being fnliy informed. They managed
tbe campaign like able, experienced army com-
manders, and their army, perfectly disciplined and
equipped, obeyed orders to a marvel. Oa
the Democratic, side, so far as the State
canvass is coucemed, every one followed his
own sweet will. In Milwaukee County where tho
rout and discomfiture of the Democracy was truly
apallihgto the Democratic heart, the cnmpaiga was
full of errors and disasters. For tho two very best
offices in tho gift of the county, Sheriff and Clerk of
Courts, two Irishmen were nominated, both Cathol-
ics, one of them, tbe Clerk of Courts, being tbe in-
cumbont, and having already enjoyed tbe office two
terms. And in the most infiuential,
wealthy, and populous Senatoilal district ia
the State, these ill-advised Democrats
actually put in nomination for the State Sduate a
man over whose head (hero was pending an indict-
ment ! The Eopublicans, of course, took advan-
tage ot this folly to nominate two Germans for the
county ofiices, a^^d ono of tbe most successful and
best campaigners in the Senatorial district for the
State Senate. Besides that, tbey raised the ques-
tion of religion, and the remarkable scene was wit-
nessed tor the secuDd time in the City of Milwau-
kee of the German Protestant Pastors goiuK to the
polling-places and stopping there all day. The two
Catholic Irish and tbe indicted aspirsnt for the
Senate were handsomely wiped out."
The Milwaukee Sentinel of the 11th inst.
says: "Th^ Republicans of Wisconsin have done
nobly, and this fact has not escaped recognition.
From all parts of the country voices come sounding
their praises. Early ia tbe campaign too much
conlidence was exhibited in claiming the Stat» for
Hayes. As a matter ot fact, the EepuoUcans
had „ not carried It for four years. It was nut
a Eepublioan State to be simply retained, but
a Democratic State to be redeemed. Thia view
came to be recognized before the election took
place. Indiana had a pulitioal history very like
that of Wisconsin. The whole energies of tlie Ee-
publioan Pany of the coantry were concentrated
upon that State previous to the October election,
bat they failM to carry it. Then some alafm
was felt about Wisconsin, and this was in-
creased by the unqualified confidence of the
Democrats. Bat in the meantime the Republicans
of Wisconsin had been constantly at work, and
with manly selt-reliance they kept on, nor stopped
to complain of the neglect that ihcy bsd Suffered.
With very little assistance In anv form from out-
side sources, they have carried tbe Slate by 6,000
majority. It was a glorious victory, and if. as now
appears, Hayes is elected, that result is to be cred-
ited to the Eepubhcans of Wisconsin more than to
those of any other State."
WE MUST MAINTAIN OUR RIGHTS.
' From the Lancaster (Penn.) Examiner, Nov. 14.
We have little patience with any Republican
who, in this important crisis, is willing to concede
tbe election of Tilden, rather than have any con-
troversy over it. If Tilden ia elected, let him ba
so declaredT bet not otherwise. - Wa have conceded
loo much to the gamblers and political adventurers
already. Mississippi. Alabama, Deleware. and
North Carolina have certainly been stolen from the
Republicans, but we have heard of no threats vf
bloodshed from oar party. All we claim is that the
votes cast for Hayes m Sauth Caroli na, Florida,
anjeKXotttiiiana shall be Counted. It would seem
-rfnat the most weak-kneed Repablioan might brace
himself sufficiently to allow that thia olaim is
modest and deiensiblo. Now that the con-
test baa virtually narrowed to Loaiaiana, the
other two doabifal States being conceded to
Hayes, it is of the most vital importance that we
should have out own there, and the man who is
willing to taKe less than that, is not worthy to be
named a Bepubjican. The desperation of the Dem-
ocrats who have staked their money on tne election
of Tilden, accounts for much of the tenacity with
which tbe doubtful States have beon contested. Be-
ginning with Wisoonain, the most impadent claims
have been made tor every State that had not a de-
cisive and^assuredjRepublicai^ majority, till Wiscon-
sin, Oregon, South Carelina, and Florida have
slipnea from their grasp, and Louisiana alone re-
mains. The law of Loaisiana expressly provides
that if the boar4 is satisfied that purity and free-
dom of the election were interfered with the re-
turns mast be excluded. Shall we'say that, for the
saKe of peace and c<mcord, sach plain provisions >.t
the law may be disregarded and a President of the
United States elected by fraud} This would oe
puttiag a premium on corruption, ami aiireeiu/ ta
the utter subversion of our form ot govern oi out.
We believe that we are right, ana we will not uai-.
render to the mob till the contrary be conclasively
shown,

THE VIOIOJiY IN NEVADA.
The Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise of the
8th inst, says : " Ttie Republicans here this
year have not spent a dollar ; the State Central
Committee is deeply in debt for the nece&saij ex-
penses of the campaign, and yet the State is safe
for Hayes and Wheeler. There has not been much
organization here in Storav County ; apparently
not much euihusiasm; certainly nothing like for-
mer years, .ind yot the result shows that the Desert
State is leal ami true. Democrats counted confi-
denily upon carrying the State, and gave up their
money freely on thepropositiou. But she has proven
true to her ancient fame, and has, beside, redeemed
herself from the imputations of tormor years. Tbe
Democracy have been better organized iban the Re-
publicans, have more thorou^iilv canvassed the
State and have spent a good dual of money • and,
after all, we have carried the State by a uaildsome
majority." - ^
HOW MISSOURI SUFFERS.
The St. L»ui3, Globe-Democrat, of the I3th
inst says : " The llnanoial eflffeot ot a supposed Dam-
ocratlc victory, a^id of Democratic rule in this
State, with a repudiating tendency among the party
in power, was forcibly shown by the bid (we will
not say bids, for there was bat one) for our Mis-
souri State bonds advertised for sale bv the State.
The State oftered for sale 293 bonds of |1,000 each ;
the only blil was that of Keleher & Co. for 225
bonds at $1,035 31^4 Per bond. There lieing no bids
for the balauco of the bonds, tbey remain, unsold.
We are informed that several respectable firms had
Intended to bid, but wore soared off by the repudi-
ating tendencies of tbe oonnties and townships of
, of the oonnties and
M» ths last sale of State stosJES^ ia Joae . ,
there were thirteen bidders, and the whole amoant
offered for sale was awarded to a St Lout firm, who
had bid 11,045 03 for eaeh bond. If tbe anticipated
•lection of Tilden were caloalated to restore coafl-
dence, It ia very strange that none of those who bid
for our bonds in Jane put in a bid last week. It is
only proper to mention that the defaults in county
and township bonds, which have so palnfdlly illus-
trated the repadiatiDg tendenei^ of the Demooraoy,
have occurred since tbe June award, and it is not
mnch wonder that Mlasouri bonds are a little off.
But we shall wait to hear tbe Delnocratie explaua*
tlon of the untoward circumstance."
A FEW PLAIN WORDS. .
The Cleveland (Ohio) fferald of the 15th
Inst., say* : " We regret to observe in Damocratio
papers generally threats of refusal be submit to a
decision which should declare Entherfbrd B. Hayea
elected President . The line of reasoning adopted
i« this— The three disputed States in tbe South
were daitaisd for Tilden, hence they should be
counted for Tilden. The Returning Boards in the
three States are Repablioan, hence tbey 'are com-
posed of dishonest scoundrels. It is the Intention
of the ReturoiDg Board to perpetrate grees frauds
in the interest of Hayes, hence a return giving
these States to Hayes must be fraudulent. • The
fieople wil not submit' Mr. Hayes has not been
egallv elected. He shall not be inaugarated. If
the Eepablicans persist in inaugurating him, ' war
will follow.' Such is the line of talk adopted by
Demooratio joutnala generally. Tbe strongest ex-
ptessloas quoted are . those actnally used
in Democratic papers near home. It is
well to have a clear nnderstaading on this
matter. The decisions as to the choice of Presi-
dential electors will be made in tne several States
in accordance with the laws of each Slate, which
laws are in accordance with the constitutional and
statutory regulations of the United States. If the
electors, properly certified to as legally chosen in
their seyeral States, cast one hundred and
eighty-five votes, or more, for Mr. Tilden, he
Will be inaugarated without a Word of pro*
test from Eepablicans, whatever opinion they
may hold as to his moral right to the position
la view of the dlstranofaisement by violence of a
large portion of tho Eepablicans in tho South. If,
en the other hand, Mr. Hayes receives 185 votes
cast by those Electors, he will be inaugurated, ia
spite of all threats or dennnciations by Democratic
nawspapers or spouters. That fact should be kept
well in mind. There were threats in 18G0 chat Mr.
Lincoln should not be inaugurated. There were
threats ,at the same time that the South shptdd not
be 'coerced ' into the Uiiioa. We all knov what
came of those threats." '^
ST. LOUIS COUNTY.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat of Saturday
says : " The unprecedented success of Republican-
ism in St. Loais County is oaase of almost as much
surprise as congratulation. V^hile the Demecraoy
of this county have been wrangling amooig them-
selves as to tbe divisioa of the spoils for several
years, the Eepublioan element has been growing
slowly but surely stronger, until suddenly the
Democracy find that hereafter quarr'^la among
themselves mast be abandoned, and every nerve
be strained to its utmost tension, or the loaves
and fishes that have So loag been a aource of
spiritual comfort to Demeoratlo^ pelitlMans
will hereafter ba gathered in by Repablioan hands.
Tho election ot the heads of tho Republican county
ticket and of the three Cougreasmen is a blow from
which our amateur Tammany men will find it diffi-
cult to recover, for, if not knocked completely out
•of time, it will be no easy matter for them to i«ga1n
the vantagd ground ,they previously held.i But
if the victory of the county , ticket \ and
of the Representatives be piarked, what hhall
we say of the result of the Gabernatorial contest la
this county I The official figures give Finkelnburg
a vote of 24,361, and Phelps a vote of 24,606, tbaa
according to the latter a majority ot 245. This is a
terrible falling off for the Democracy, and, all things
considered, is as great a victory for the Republicans
in the Gubernatorial contest as in the county race.
To have the majority only 200 where it has never be-
fore beea less than that manv thousands, is acbange
wnioh even the evil-boding Democrats did not
anticipate, and which the most enthusiastic Ee-
pubiicans had no right tn expect It 4a a change
which betokens sot only discontent within tbe
party, but disOffdotion, if not rebellion, against
both leaders acd principles. The truth is. the peo-
ple ot St. Lopis County have beed preyed on by
Democratic cormorants long enough, and
are beginning to find it oat Tliey have
had Democratic clerks. Democratic Contrul-
lers. Democratic ColieccotB, Democratic Alder-
men, County Judges,] and Mayors in separate and
distinct swarms setting down, likcfiooks of turkey-
buEssards on the body politic, each swarm more
hungry than its predeoessor, fintil the great honest
heart of the people, sick of the corruption and
roguery, is anxioaa for a ehange. This is the real
reason why Phelps' majority is only 245, and why
the vote of Finkelnburg is 7,326 greater than that of
Henderson four years ago. This will also offer a
sofficiect reason why the next Eepablioan candi-
date for Governor will receive la this county a
heavy majority."

THE ELECTION IN TENNESSEE.
The Knoxville (Tenn.) Chronicle of the 11th
inst says:' " The election in Tann'easae resulted
just as all expected it would, in tbe success of
Gov, Porter. Hi* administmtlon has been a pro^
found fallnre, and enough peeple in tbe State were
dissatisfied with him to have defeated him, but Dy a
vigorous application of tbe party lash he
has been elected. The next Legislature
will doubtless be about three-fourths Deme-
cratio. The principal work of the eesaion
will be the election of ITnited States Senators.
The aspirants tor the position > will be nnmer-
oas. Among those whom we now know as seeking
the positions are Isham, G. Harris, Gen. W. B.
Bate, Hoo. James E. BaitSy, and Hon. D. M. Key.
These are not all by any meads. There will not be
less than a doztiu open candidates, with as many
more ' hiding out,' hoping that they will be taxen
up. We trust that the whole session will net be ab-
syi bed with this election." -*^

OUGHT TO SEE tUE OTHER FELLOW.
One election day incident is thus described
by the Indianapolis Journal: " A well-dresaed
colored man entered a dtug store yesterday morn-
ing, and, approaching the proprietor, remarked in
an apologetic tone : ' I haven't got any money
isss now, but I would like it ever so mnch if you
would trust me to a niece of stictin' pla^ror.'
' What do you want of oourt^plaster I ' iaqaired the
druggist
with a
The colored
smile,
man lifted his
.J exposing two terrible
-scalp- wounds, one extending fretn the
crown of bis bead '' to the middle of his
forehead, and the other reaching nearly from ear to
ear. The pill-maker started back aghast at the
wounds, and tbe man noticing his gesture, re-
marked, blandly, '0, you needn't start ; you just
ought to see the other feller.' ' What hare you
been doing )' said the druggist ' * To tell you the
truth, I had a little aTgumenC, with a Democrat
awhile ago, and he banged me over tbe head with
one of them fixins you light ga* with. But you
had jess ought to see him. I combed him down
with a chair, I did, and they had to sweep him up.'
The negro was given tbe plaster desired, and taken
to a surgeon, Where his hurt was propevly dreased,
and he went off perfectly happy at, tne thought
that the 'other feller ' was in a condition so much
worse than his own."

CONGRESSMAN FRTS'S WORK.
The Lewiston (Me.) Journal says: "Ropre-.
senfStive Frye has done very effective, laborious
and protracted campaign service. He spoke sixty-,
two times daring the campaign, in ' Maine, Ohio,*
Indiana, Wisconsin, New-Jersey and Massacbu-,
setts, frequentlv to crowds of three tboasand and
upward. Often he spoke twice a day, being taken
from town to town by special trains that he might
be as naarlv In two places at the same time aa tbe
iuventiens of electricity and steam in this age will
permit. His speeches were everywhere received
with great favor; almost always he spoke alone'
from two to three and a half hours. No speaker on'
the stamp has done better service than Mr. Frye.
and he returns home t a good health. He has bad'
urgent requests to go to Louisiana, but recent deep>
bereavement in the death of his youngest daughter,
renders bim uuabla io accede to these requoats."
THE PACIFIC STATES.
The Virginia City (Nevada) Enterprise of the
Bth inst says : " The latest returns last night indi-
cated that the whole Pacific coast voted solidly
yesterday for Hayes and Wheeler. This oan not re-
verse the general result, but it is a splendid show-
ing, end gives a clue to what has caused the proba-
ble disaster iu the Bast. The people here are as a
rule prosperous and believe in hard money. The
people in many States iu tbe East are sorely suffer-
ing from the reaction and depression in business
which foliewed the fiusb times immediately succeed-
ing the war wiiich was iufiicted upon the people by
the bastard chivalry. Some have believed that any
chance would help them ; and otners, b^' thoaaanda
and tens of thooBands, secretly wish for an inflated
currency whieh they fondly hope will. so reduce tbe
price ot greenbacks that they can pay a dollar of
fast indebtedness with fifty cents er forty cents, or,
perhaps, repudiate it altogether. It ia evident that
the Pacific slope is the best plaee iu tbe Union for
either rich or poor men to live In."
GOV. PACKARD. OF LOUISIANA.
The Lewiston (Me.) tTbwmai of the 15th inst (
says: "It is amusing to observe the brusque man-

tucky, in his dispatch disposes of Hon. S. B. Pack-
ard, formerly ef Auburn, the Kspablloan candidate
for Governor of Louisiana, and settles the election
In that State— after having beea two hours in New
Orleans. Nobody having heard from half the State,
Watterson dispenses with all returns, and patron-
iziugi.y mtornis the country that the word of a man

eveo tho Democrats did not dare run him again for

Having once conceded that questions of
law and of fact may enter into the canvass
of the votes of Louisiana, the Democi-ata
might have saved themselves the trouble of
making a further and lengthy parade of
their ardent desire to see such action taken
by the Eetuming Board as will
satisfy the' American people. A re-
buke to those of their number who
have taken pains to declare that
unless the board decide their way, it
must necessarally be guided by corrupt mo-
tives, and an acknowledgment of the fact
that their presence in New Orleans was ■pub-
licly invited by the Governor of that State,
and that, therefore, there was a strong pro-
sumption that the board did not fear
scrutiny, would have been mere to
the purpose than their rather windy pro-
fessions in favor of fair play and judicial
impartiality. Witli all its elaborate defi-
nitions of what the situation demands,
the Democratic letter gets no farther than
the simple fact that the Northern men of
both parties are in Louisiana simply as
witnesses, to report upon what they
see and Ifear to the authority which
commissioned them. No amount of
conference could enhance the qualifications
of two distinct sets of obsevers to report
upon certain proceedings from somewhat
different points of view. The value of
^eir final reports would be impaired rather
than increased by an attempt to agree upon
some commoQ principles of observation,
which are either too well settled for dispute,
or which touch the very marrow of the
controversy on which they are there merely
to assist the country in passing judgment.

When President Grajnt used, in a brief
mUitary order, the phrase "a fair count of
ttw votes actually cast," he undoubtedly
DMant as the Northern Democrats assem-
bled at New-Orleans now profess to do, the
Votes " legally cast." But there was no
want of evidence to show that in their invi-
tation to a joint conference the Democrats
had no such broad and liberal interpreta-
tion in view. From Senator Eandolph to
Mr. WATrBBSOir, of Kentucky, they had
gone out of their way to impress
on the public mind their convic-
jtion that the votes "actually cast" in
(Louisiana gave a large majority for
7.tLDEN. and that no question as to their
^ei^lity could bo supposed to exist. That
jthero might be no miBapprehension on this
Bcore,.the Democratic editors who were among
ihese assembled at the call of Mr. Hewitt
^nt to their newspapers tables of majori-
jtiea which excluded all quastion of fraud or
Intimidation, and were claimed as " official"
lln advance eves of the reports of the County
CanvasseTS. These tables claimed, for exam-
Jfle, that in the Parishes of East
The news fix>m Europe, to-day, is more
than ever warlike. But these beUigerent
rumors — for they are only rumprs— must
be received with caution. It is evident
that English jealousy and suspicion of Eas-
sia are thoroughly aroused, and that the
popular feeling- toward her is highly
inflamed. But there can be no reason-
able ground for the report that Eng-
land has decided to occupy Constan-
tinople, in the event of a Eussian
invasion of Turkey. It sounds very
fine in English ears, no doubt, to say that
such;a seizure would be assuming a warden-
ship of the Dardanelles in the interests of
Europe. But nothing could be more vio-
lently opposed to the policy with which the
English Cabinet has so far treated the East-
ern question. Nevertheless, these and sim-
ilar extravagant stories have had a de-
pressing effect upen foreign money markets.
It is evident that stock jobbing in political
news is unusually active in London.

CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES.
Probably the law of compensation oper-
ates in politics as in morals. Out of the
present complications may come remedial
measures which under ordinary circum-
stances might have been delayed indefinite-:
ly. The pitfalls and dificulties which are
the imperfections of the method prescribed
by the Constitution for finally count-
ing the electoral vote in a Presi-
dential election are not now seen for
the first time. They have appeared
and disappeared, and reappeared in the
course of our brief career as a self-govern-
ing people, without leaving any profound
impression of their significance, or of the
need of decisive treatment. Parties,
whether in power or in opposition, have
acted on the maxim, " Sufficient for the day
is the evil thereof," and having overcome the
immediate danger, have left its latent
causes untouched. The general un-
willingness jto deal with the
subject has been too recently ex-
emplified in the ill-success of Mr. Morton's
efforts to effect its satisfactory solution, to
admjt) of dispute. The fact is a refiection
upon the capacity or courage of our states-
manship, and a conous commentary upon
the tenacious adherence of democracy even
to the defects of a system inherited from the
founders of the Eepublic. This sluggishness,
let us hope, will be dispelled by the neces-
sity for'wise and comprehensive action which
iiSpending complications may make appar-
ent. When extreme partisans, reckless of
consequences, employ their ingenaity in dtf-
^sing plans for bringing the machinery of
government to a stand-still, or for so aixay-
Vig one branch of authority against another
as to precipitate a struggle which cwly
revolution could end. it is time for moder-
ate men to consider, not only how the
peril may be obviated, but how its recur-
rence may be prevented. An avoidance of
obstacles that are talksd of as in
reserve for next February can be secured
only^ by the exercise of more or less
forbearance, and for this we depend
leas upon the patriotism or sagacity of indi-
vidual politicians than upon the moral
pressure to be exorcised by controlling in-
terests in the community. Whatever else
may be in doubt, there can be none as to the
resolve of the groat body of the people that
the peace of the country shall not be jeopar-
dized by partisanship, nor the harmony of
the Government destroyed by a faction in-
tent upon sectional aggrandizement. The
composition of tbe next Congress justifies
the hope that reliance upon expedients will
give place to a broad acknowledgment ot
duty, and that a woU-considered constitu-
tional amendment will relievo us from the
risks attached to the present system.
The lesson taught by the occasion will,
however, be but half learned if public men
rest satisfied with adding jprecision to the
mode prescribed for finally counting the
Prosidendial vote. It is essential that the
relative position and powers of those con-
nected with the count shall be so woU set-
tled that (jontroversy can no longer grow out
of them. iBut there are preliminary mat-
ters which, as passing events show, may
acquire supremo importance. The dispute
now going on as to the functions of Return-
ing Boards in certain of the Southera States
implies a confusion of ideas which may be
traced to the vagueness of the constitutional
provision giving States absolute power over
the composition and jurisdiction of the
boards, and the varying forms which the
teidatered. J exercise of thejoowec has assumed, ^otli-
ing like uniformity has been aimed- at.
Each State has prescribed the limitations
within which its returning body, however
designated, must act. The consequence is
a confusion of practice, and even of princi-
ple, which is inexplicable except in the
light of an almost morbid jealousy of what
are called State rights. At the North, we
are accustomed to boards whose duties are
purely ministerial. They count the votes,
and that is all.^ If protests are presented,
they are referred elsewhere for decision.
The boards, thus circumslribed in their au-
thority, are of little or no value as
checks upon electoral fraud. In South
Carolina, again, a Constitution singularly
loose in some of its fundamental provisions,
discriminates between the local vote and
the national vote, denying the board power
to scrutinize the former, while apparently
investing it with judicial authority in re-
gard to the latter. Louisiana and Florida,
with greater consistency and effect, intrust
to their boards functions which enable them
to counteract illegality and fraud, intimida-
tion and violence, wherever practiced. Of
all the methods, the last is, logically, the
best. It is consistent and effective, which
neither the ministerial plan in vogue at the
North nor the mongrel plan adopted in
Carolina can be said to be. The necessity
of vesting somewhere authority that shall
determine the legality as well as the numer-
ical results of an election — which shall take
cognizance of practices whereby certain
classes of voters may be practically dis-
franchised, or majoritias unlawfully ac-
quired— is manifest. And the rational idea
of a board whose certificates, say in a
Presidential contest, must bo accepted
implicitly by the authority finally act-
ing at Washington, is that of a body
whose action shall be unfettered
in the pursuit of wrong, and whose conclu-
sions shall command implicit respect, be-
cause expressing the strictly legal verdict
of the electors. The system of registration
created by Federal statute, with its supervi-
sors and other agencies, covers to some ex-
tent the shortcomings of State laws. We in
New- York know its value, when adminis-
tered as fearlessly and energetically as it ife
in this City. But there are parts of the
country in which it is comparatively use-
less, and there are States in the South in
which it is'wholly inoperative as a guarantee
against fraud. The Eetuming Board fur-
nishes the only check which can be easily
put in force.
What is really wanted, then, in addition
to provisions averting unpleasant contin-
gencies which may spring up at the final
count by tbe President of the Senate, is an
amendment securing uniformity in the stat-
us of the Eetuming Boards, and Federal
legislation rendering such an amendment
operative for the purpose designed. Of
course, the change involves a slight
interference with powers now belonging
exclusively to the States. The same oppo-
sition will be made to it that has been made
to other amendments and other legislation
intended to perfect the harmony and in-
crease the strength of the Union. The
fifteenth amendment was at the time de-
nounced as an infraction of State rights, but
it was a necessary sequence of the changes
rendered inevitable by the war. The Fed-
eral election laws are so many viola-
tions of the theory of the Constitution
uphel^ by Mr. Tilden and his Southern sup-
porters ; but, with all their defects, they are
sound in principle and wholesome in their
gener^ results. The exigencies which
called for the amendment, and were the
justification of these laws, now require fur-
ther changes to complete the work; and
the business of the statesman is so to shape
them that they shall not fall short of their
object, and that they shall commend them-
selves to the intelligence and patriotism of
the country.
THE ARMING OF E USSIA.
The news from the East is certainly not
reassuring. The feeling throughout Eussia,
when the final defeat of the Servians by
the Turks became known, was so intense,
and the policy of the Czar had been so evi-
dently a failure, that the Government sa «v
atonce that something vigorous must be done
or Eussia would lose all her influence among
the South Sclavs. Hence the peremptory
demand for an armistice. To this, which
came upon Europe with such surprise, Tur-
key wisely yielded. All parties are how
under this armistice of six weeks, waiting
for the conference of the great powers,
which shall present the demands agreed
upon to Che Ottoman Porte. This period of
peace betore what may be war both oppo ■
nents use dUigently to prepare for a Winter
campaign. Turkey is withdrawing her
forces from distant points, such as Albania
and the frontier of Montenegro, to concen-
trate them near the Danube. She is
arming and manning her forteesses, and
is preparing a system of defenses
of Constantinople and the Bosphorus against
modem artillery. No doubt, too, on the side
of Asia, she is preparing for the life-and-
death struggle with her ancient enemy.
The Turk, though a race degraded by super-
stition and unnatural vices, has still the
courage of a tribe so long used to conquer,
and when dissolution comes will be sure to
die with dignity. Conspiracies and assassina-
tions abound, but there is no sign of panic.
Russia, on the other hand, Is active. As
if assured of Prussia and Germany, the
Polish reserves are called out, and Poland is
left stripped, except of garrisons. The regi-
ments in Southern Russia are mobilized ;
the Russian officers in Belgrade are ordered
to remain there ; export of horses is forbid-
den ; the press breathes the most warlike
tone. The Czar, ia his speech, only re-
echoes the tone of the Empire in expressing
its contempt for the Servian cowardice.
The deteat, too, in Servia, will make an in-
vasion by Bulgaria more difficult, and
somswhat complicates the situation
of the Muscovite strategist. Every-
thing on tho surface of events poinds
to war — war imminent and wide-spread.
But, on the other hand, there are certain
more peace-fui indicatrous. The popular
tone throughout both Austria and Germany
is strongly against Russia. Tho feeliug is
that it is directly against theinterests of Gor- .
man trade aud tho sarety of tho Austrian
Empire to have the Muscovites owning or
controlling tho cotintry on the Danube.
Austria has the deepest iuterost of all
Europe in preserving this region independ-
ent of any great power. Her trade is large-
ly connected with the East; her frontier
lies aloug the disturbed Drovincca: apo\yer-
"k^-^'
ftil neighbor on that flank would prevent
all her own growth in -that direction. Ger-
many has less interest^ but sufficient to
cause her to desire no Eussian advance
toward the Danube, while anything which
would hinder the increase of the Sola vie ten-
dencies of Austro-Hungary is opposed to
German diplomacy. Prussian statesmen
desire Austria to be Sclavic, that her German
provinces may ultimately fall into the great
German unioq. ^
With all this popular feeling, Bismarck,
under unusual reserve, has made no sign.
It IS obvious that he is compelled, by the
fear of a future French war, to pre-
serve the alliance with the Czar, and
yet he may not desire to support
tho ambitious designs of Eussia on
the Danube. Besides, he cannot know what
course Austria may take ; he cannot be sure
but Italy may side with Eussia in a general
war, m order to win the Southern Tyrol ;
he may expect England to support Turkey.
In any case it is plainly the interest of Ger-
many to remain neutral. ' But all these
uncertainties must equally act on the Czar.
He cannot invade Turkey with Austria's
course undecided. The position of the
Austrian Army in Tran'Sylvania is a position
in his rear if he invades Bulgaria and under-
takes a march toward the Bosphorus.
Moreover, the Eussian Army is in sufficiently
good condition to attack Turkey, but by no
means to meet Austria. Whatever be the
secret alliance alluded to in Emperor Wil-
liam's speech, between the three Emperors,
no one can be absolutely certain of the
other.
England too, though cold or even ad-
verse to her old ally, Turkey, is not certain-
ly to be calculated upon as neutral, with a
hostile Cabinet governing. A collision,
indeed, with Great Britain is not to the
Eussians so serious as one with Austria.
Still, all these dangers and uncertain-
ties will, in all probability, cause the
Czm: to accept more reasonable terms at
the conference than now would appear
likely amid the excitement in Eus-
sia. The arming of the Empire will sup-
port his strongest demands. The confer-
ence will feel inclined to avert war by urg-
ing the most thorough reforms oh. the
Porte. Turkey vrtU be glad to yield to any-
thing but a loss of territory. Thus peace —
and a reasonable peace — may be brought
about. Still the slightest provocation may
kindle the flames of war.
A GREAT NATIONAL WASTE.
Perhaps it would be difficult to give a
more striking example of the recklessness
and improvidence which of late years has
grown to be a characteristic of Americans,
as a people, than is afforded by a compari-
son between two reports of a strictly na-
tional nature that have lately been pub-
lished. At a meeting of the National Board
.of Fire Underwriters, held in this City, its
President gave in statistical form the re-
sults of the business of all the insurance
companies in the United States during the
year 1875. By this it would seem that
the period inclnded under that date had-
been one of average prosperity, both to the
companies and to the country, as in one
case there had been a falling off in the
amount of loss, and in the other a slight
diminution in the rate of premium. Com-
pared, we say, with our own experience in
pasff years, there does not seem to be any
causp for uneasiness in this report, but
when we take, as a basis of comparison,
the report of the French fire insurance com-
panies, as published a few weeks since in
the Moniteur des Assurances, the state of the
case is entirely changed, and we are left to
wonder how it is possible for us to increase
our national resources, when we have in
this, and4)robably in other directions, such
irumense drains upon our annual income.
The American report shows that during
the ye&r 1875 there were paid to tho various
fire insurance companies in premiums some
sixty millions of dollars, and for this sum the
companies guaranteed to protect property
valued at kbout six and a half billions of
dollars. That is, there was paid by those
insuring throughout the jountry about nine-
tenths of one per cent, of the value of their
property for the puruose of securing an in-
demnity in case of loss. Now, under the
circumstances, this charge was not excess-
ive, for, though a fairly prosperous 'year,
the losses by fire amounted to about thirty
millions of dollars, and, after allowing the
customary thirty per cent, of the premium
for expenses, it would not allow a very
large margin for profit to the companies.
There is another item of expense to the
public that does not seem to have been
brought in here, and that is the cost of main-
taining our various fire departments, which,
if we may judge by our own and sister
cities, would not, in a year, fall short of
twenty-five millions. It will thus be seen
that in losses and in department and insu-
rance expenses, the business community of
this country suffered last year to the extent
of some seventy*five millions of dollars, and
yet this was a fairly successful year.
In order to determine how much of this
is "wasteful and ridiculous excess," it
is only necessary to compare the foregoing
statement ^ with the authoritative French
one. During last year there was paid in
France in fire insurance premiums about
fifteen millions of dollars, to insure
property valued at sixteen billions of dol-
lars, thus making the annual rate of pre-
mium less than one-tenth of one per cent.,
or hardly more than one-tenth of the rate
paid in this country. The losses by fire
during this time amounted to six and a half
milUous of dollars, or, when the value of
property covered by insurance is taken into
account, proportionately about a twelfth
as much as was destroyed here during the
same time. As to the cost of maintaining
fire brigades throughout France, any one
who has seen them at work in Paris, Lyons,
or any of the large cities, must admit that
it is indeed trifling compared with what
is annuallv expended for that purpose on
this side of the Atlantic. Placing it at a
very high estimate, it may be fire millions
of dollars ; and on this liberal basis it is
shown that through our own foolishnoss we
are wasting each year, in this direction at
least, more than four times as much as
the French ; who in material wealth are
vastly our superiors, and could, therefore,
better than we, afford to gratify this spe-
cies of extravagance.
The truth of tho matter is simply this,
wo shall never be able to overcome this great
deifect until wo adopt an entifelv dilibreut
l)uildiag system. In a few of our lai'cc.
cities some steps have been^ taken to bring!
about this reform ; but even the best code
of American building laws now in force is
far behind what it should be, and allows
the construction of buildings tliat would
not be tolerated in a European city. If
this is the case with places where great
reforms have been made, such as in this
City and Boston, what is to be said of those
towns and cities where no rogolations of
any kind exist, and where wooden and thin-
walled brick houses are massed together in
hopeless confusion f Merely this, that year
after year these communities must be pre-
pared to pay ten times as much for their
Insuraace and protection as there is any
need of doing. But the question takes
a wider range : can we afford, as a
nation to annually sacrifice this amount of
wealth? We all bemoan the exactions of
a national debt, and yet in this other form
we pay out unnecessarily nearly as much
as the entire interest on our present debt
will be whenjthe new funding plan has been
carried out. The balance yearly between
produced and consumed wealth is not
very large with us now, and there are rea-
sons for thinking that in years to come it
will not again expand into the enormous
dimensions it did in the past. Our growth
hereafter in wealth is to be largely, as in
older countries, the direct result of savi*g ;
but if we would succeed in this we must
emulate them in cutting down the annual
waste to the smallest possible amount. It
is certainly clear that in a commercial
world, where trade is controlled by frac-
tional differences in price, we cannot hopej
other things being equal, to compete ad-
vantageously with nationalities who are
unincumbered with the yearly burden of
expense.

A DEFEAT AND A TRIUMPff.
It is likely that the din and excitement of
the Presidential election have distracted
public attention from another important
occurrence. Indeed, it is evident that if
it had not been that men were busy with
this serious problem, they would have been
forced to consider what may be called a
great outrage. We refer, of course, to the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court refusing to admit a woman (and
therefore womankind) to practice before it.
In this case the court decided that usage
"from time immemorial," in all the States and
in England permitted none but men to
practice as attorneys and counselors. It
will be observed that the tyrant man, with
the contempt of logic which has always
characterized him in all his deal-
ings with what is . called the
woman question, pleads nothing more ex-
alted than custom, rhe court unanimously
came to the conclusion that, as women
never had been United States Supreme
Court lawyers, they never could be. So the
learned Judges might have argued that, in-
asmuch as women never bad sung bass,
they never could. This would be an avoid-
ance of the whole quosti^^ at issue ; it
would be waiving the poi^fc whether there
were any political, moral, or physiological
reasons why women should not sing bass,
because it would make the matter merely
one of usage. In like manner, the tradi-
tional pieman, when remonstrated with be-
cause his so-called " hot mutton pies " were
frozen, calmly replied that " from time im-
memorial" they had been called hot mutton
pies. It was purely a matter of usage.
A person disposed to take the side of the
applicant, Mrs. Lockwood, in this case,
would naturally say that the position of the
court was evasive and cowardly. Why did
not these learned jurists say that women
do not have logical minds, and therefore are
disqualified to act as attorneys ? We can
imagine that the Judges were apprehensive
that a woman attorney, when an interrup-
tion by the Chief Justice was interpolated,
would say that he was " a mean old thing ;"
or that, when asked to state ^a proposi-
tion of law, she would answer with that
inconsequence which is so charming in
woman, "Because." It is not impossible
even
said^
tion-room, that a woman practitioner
would talk so long that the Su-
preme Court docket, ; already too
crowdefl lor comfort, could not be gone
through with, if she once began her argu-
ment. Or they may- have weakly dreaded
tears and sobs from a teminine counsel who
had lost her case. There are innumerable
reasons like these, which may have sug-
gested themselves to the prejudiced minds
of the Judges. If they had stated some of
them, their decision would have commanded
a certain respect. It is not likely, hoVover,
that any one of the venerable Judges would
have dared co go home to tho wife of his bosom
after assigning such grounds for a legal
opinion. To escape the wrath of woman-
kind in general, to say nothing of possible
domestic storms, the Judges timidly shel-
tered themselves in a usage. Women should
not practice law, because they had not.
And yet men say that women are illogical.
If it had not been that men's minds were
so taken up with their own political affairs,
.this decision would have caused great com-
motion. The advanced women, as we be-
lieve the best champions of woman's rights
are generically called, would have made things
very lively for tho tyrant man. As it was,
the applicant and her friends arose and left
the court in dudgeon, olosing the mhospi-
tabl^^door behind them with what might be
called " a green baize expletive." And no
wonder, for here was an avenue for honor-
able and lucrative employment closed by a
law ot usage. But at that very moment
t\vo other women were proving to the world
that they could and would do things which
" immemorial lisage" saemed to debar them
from. Miss Vo.\ Hillkrh and Miss
JVIarshall were engaged in a
walking-match, with seconds, judges,
stakes, bottle-holders, and all the other par-
aphernalia which have heretofore been mo-
nopolized by men. It might have been
urged that women had never walked for
wagers, and that precedent and custom were
against any such practice. But the judges
of the match did not interpose any such pue-
rile objection. They did not say that there
was danger that tho contestants would ex-
haust their wind by discussions on the Fall
style of bonnets, or " throw" the race by
wearing excessively drastic "pin-backs."
Tho tratek was thrown open withont re-
serve ; and if one of the contestants came
off second best, it was^ only because
she withdrew with a blister on her heel.
Tho acclaim with Vhich tho victor was carv
ried off the ground signalized the downfall
of an ancient prejudice.
Though women may not practice in the
Supreme Court, they may walk for money.
There is nothing to show that amything
like a majority of womankind are panting
to distinguish themselves at the Bar. We
mean the Bar of the Supreme Court. There-
fore, the decision of the court will not have
a wide and painlul influence on the sex.
But, since this seriously affects the abstract
question of women's rights, we shall expect
to hear, when the present storm blows over,
a vigorous protest from' the advanced fe-
male. It is barely possible that
there are women vpho would not feel
that free entrance to the walking-
course was compensation for their ex-
clusion from the Bar of the United States
Supreme Court. Obviously those who have
aspirations above baby-tending, dish-wash-
ing, and writing for the magazines, will re-
fuse to accept walking-matches in lieu of
possible forensic honors. Let such be en-
couraged, however, by what has been ac-
complished. The world moves — is moving.
To-day it is the walking-match ; next it
will be the coveted entrance to the Bar.
After that, who shall tell how soon the
ballot may come, and the gowned Justices
on the Bench will give way to those who
shall expound the Constitution in toUets
which shall exhaust the skill of the mil-
liners.
SPIRITUAL CANDY.
Among recent ghosts, a new and useful
variety of spectre which has just appeared
in Council Bluffs deserves to "be noticed.
Spiritualists desiring a quiet, usefnl, fam-
ily ghost, warranted to be popular with the
children and without any objectionable
habits, had better order a Council Bluffis
ghost without delay. The noisy table-tip-
ping and crockery-breaking spirits that
were so popular a few years ago have been
almost entirely superseded by improved
ghosts, which are noiseless, easily Managed,
and Capable of affording innocent amuse-
ment to children and weak-minded adults.
The Council Bluffs ghost is in all respects
the best which has yet been offered to the
public, and had it only been exhibited at
Philadelphia, it would doubtless have re-
ceived a medal and a certificate showing its
superiority to all competitors as plainly as
do the certificates which all the piano-
makers have received.
The ghost in question is that of a little
girl of excellent judgment in the selection
of Candy. The members of a: family with
whom the girl had been acquainted during
her lifetime were lately holding a domestic
stance for the reception of visiting ghosts,
when this nice little girl announced that
she was present, and intended to present
one of the circle with a stick of candy.
The ghost was not visible, but the candy
was almost immediatly placed in the hand
of an astonished gentleman, 'who, when
the lamp was lighted, found himself the
happy possessor of an undoubted stick of
sttiped candy.
An irreverent person, on being thus pro-
vided frith gratuitous epirittial candy,
would probably have eaten it and demanded
more. The recipient of the gift was, how-
ever, an
earnest
Spiritualist, and he
knew better than to rashly eat things
niade in another world. To all appear-
ances the candy was an ordmary
stick of white peppermints candy,«
ornamented with spiral strip^ of
red paint, but as it is impossible to say to
what extent the adulteration of articles of
food IS carried in the other world, it was
only prudent for the earnest Spiritualist to
employ a small boy to test the candy before
eating it himself. But before a small boy
could be procured, the curiously indigesti-
ble nature of that stick of candy was unex-
pectedly demonstrated. Instead of becom-
ing sticky when held in the hand, it merely
grew somewhat .lyarmer, and then suddenly
transformed itself into a rose of remarkable
beauty and delicious perfume. It was at
once recognized that candy capable of such
a sudden and extraordinary change was not
meant to be eaten by any person of value.
Had it blossomed into a rose when halfway
dow» a rash and irreverent throat, strangu-
lation wonld have inevitably resulted.
When it became cool, the ghostly rose again
resumed its saccharine form, and it has
since been changed from a stick of sandy to
a rose, and back again to its original shape,
as often as any one has tried the experiment
of warming and cooling it.
The superiority of this variety of candy
for domestic purposes will at once be per-
ceived. Ordinary earthly candy is useful in
persuading noisy infants to silence, but its
effect is merely temporary, and is followed
by an abdominal reaction, which intensifies
the very evil which it was designed to cure.
A kind-hearted man may be boarding in a
house infested with infants to such an ex-
tent that peace of mind by day or sleep at
night are utterly impossible. He may go
to a confectioner's and buy a dozen pounds
of the most deadly candy, and present it to
the destroyers of his peace. What is the
result f The infants become preternatural-
ly quiet for the space of say half an hour,
^hile they devour the candy, and render
the whole interior of the house a sticky
conglomerate of mutually adhesive infants
and furniture. At the end of this time they
announce with startling unanimity their
intention to indulge in colic, and before
their distracted mothers hav^ soaked them
loose from the furniture, and filled 'them
with paregoric, the house vibrates from
garret to basement with their yells. Thus
the kind-hearted man finds that he has
thrown away his money and made his con-
dition even worse than it was before. He
cannot even recover damages against the
confectioner, for the latter will always
take the ground that the candy would have
proved fatal had it been administered in
proper doses. The truth is, that whatever
confectioners and physicians may say,
candy is rarely immediately fataL It will
undoubtedly produce good results if ad-
ministered daily for a sufficiently long time ;
but few men have the patience to wait for
weeks until the candy accomplishes its per-
fect work.
Now, the good little ghost of Council
Bluffs has made us acquainted with a va-
riety of spiritual candy from which we can
confidently anticipate the very best results.
Suppose that a good man who wishes to
reward his neighbor's small boy for per-
sistent practice on the dram, gives him a
stick of this excellent candy. The small
called " a hunk " of the candy in his moat\
and tries to swallow it. Tho warath d
his interior transforms it into a roso while
it is in the very act of entering the «oopl»
agoB. There la a smothered cty, and th«
small boy sinks to the ground, whoro he
quietly chokes, while the good man goes
cheerfolly on his way, rejoicing that th«
ghost of CouncU Bluffis has convinced bin
that the soul is immortal, and that there li
another world. Meanwhile, as the small
boy gradually grows cold the rose resumei
the shape of candy, and the Coroaer's jury
find the unsuspecting verdict, "Choked
with peppermint candy." Thus the benev-
olent heart of the good naan is made hap^y
and the small boy ceases from drumming *
and for these two important results we
have to thank the good little ghost of Cona-
cil Bluffii. It ean safely be predicted that
her candy will speedily beoome immense-
ly popular. It will drive earthly candy oat
of the market, fUid snpersede soothing
syrup ; and will convince a skoptical world
that at least one really meritorioos ghosl
has at last made her appearance.

To th< Editor of the Nttp- York Time$ :
For many years past, the AmenSsn public
has beard much conoeminK the need of a higher
edncation for women. Oppormnities for obtain-
ins this hicber edncation are now larealy prorided,
and still tbe results are so nnaatiafactory that many
people Dave be/^on to tbink abemt the lower or fan-
damental education— tliat which is ^iven in primary
or seoondarv schools, and which pares the waj to '
tbe college or nniveraity. A doabt is now eenec-
aliT. felt whether the edifice of female o&ncatios
which the zeal of enthoaiasts has so tapIOly raared
ia a solid stmctare, or one towering indeed to tb«
skies, but built npon the sanda.
The feature in the hisher ednoatian of women ia
this oonntrj which most exsites susj^sion in tha
miiul of a treah obserrer. is the small attaatiea or
respect whi^h it aomnuuiaa from the apper elaasas
of society. Our. female eolleges do not represent
Inherited wealth or eentle blood ex the iatallao
tual cnlture'of mora than one generation. It may.
indeed, be nrfred that ia ^aO eonntriea estabbakaf
social position makas its passeasors conservatiTa;
bat their oonservatism la not abs<date or eternal,
and tbe established claaaes are- sure ultimately to
adopt all social Innovations which prove themselves
to De irenuiue improvementa. ' It is only when tfaoa
approved by the leading elaaaes that a aoelal
scheme reeeirea ita charter as a permanent natlffna'
institution.
Kow, our female flolleges do not turn OBtoolii*

vated tastes do not go to the female coUeeaL
Whence, then, does tbe higher edncation draw tts

schools and aormal schools, and from priyate sohoola
in country towns and rural districts. Ihe best pri-
vate Bchoola fqr girls in anr i^reat Eastern citlea
have no conna^^on with and ao view to tbe femata
colleges, bat th'ese sohoola are filled by the'daaieh-
ters of leadine merehanta ana profes8ioq|kI isen
from all parts of the countey. Tbe brothers cf
many of these tnrls are at Harvard and Yale. Are
they [the sisters] thinking of Sas:e College or of
Tassar t Ko ; tbe rerv heads of the better ^rirata
schools regard existing woman's ooUesas with oon-
tempt, and their aen^mant ia reflected by their po-
pUs. "^
Now, it is in these priyate schools that the women
are formed whose destiny it is to estabtiah tlie atand-
ard ot feminine charaoter for the whole nation.
Tbe girls who issae from these schools will appear
in Europe as representative AmerleMi women, and,
coming in cantact with the upper ranks of 'Enropaan
society, they will bring back tbe new developmenta
of life and maonns whioh most shape the aoelal
future of this oonntry. And tcown these private
schools, or from the endowed eeconduy eohoida
whtfh onght to take their place, our women's eel.
leges must tiltimately derive %heir bast student
materiaL A true system of liberal educattza de-
mands not only professors, and moseig^s, and li-
braries, bat also the plaatic material of minds not
enervated by the abase of wealth, but expanded
amid all the propitious influences which, sinee man
left Eden, only wealth can furnish. These rounded,
mellowed intelligepoes will never be found in pur
free schools, except by some rare chance. It is a
recogalxed fact that our public schoola de not offsr
the conditions whioh wealthy and ealti rated |Mr^
ents desire for their children. The mind of a child
who has been bred amid i>olite converse, amid the
beauty of art and the far-reaching associations of a
refined home, would starve under the dreary routine^
the bold instmetion. of the publieaehools.
The first taak, then, for those who deairalhat
tbS education of wonien should hava the same dig-
nity and completenaas as the education of men, is
to secure the aympatfay of the best private schools.
But these schools are mostly wanting in orgaaiaa
tion, in discipline, In upright diteotlOB. Their hta-
tory revolves in a vicious oirole. A prejndieed ' ,
generation ef parents fetters the handa of teaohera
and teachers thus trammeled, bring up a new gen-
eratiou ef empty-headed womeiL To break the
charm, the intervention of some external authority
is-neoessary. In England, all the great nnivorsi-
ties have interested themselves in the matter. Sy
their local ezaminatlona and their examlaatiooa of
schools, they have created reil vitelity
in the girls' schools throoghoot Sng*
land. In 1873, the Uaiversity ef Harvard,
with generous enterprise, ondertodk a slmilac
work in this country. The scheme of examisatioa
which It chose was the University of London's
examluatioBS for women. TUs examination of
the University of London is considered in Bng*
land the most difficult of all tha local examinations,
and the number of young women who enter fori!
has always been very small, eompared with that
of the candidates for the Oxford and Cambridge
local examinations. In the aarae way, the Sar.
yard examinations for women have been oantid-
ered appalliagly difficult, and only a kandfal ot
brave young ladies have presented themselrea
each year at Cai^ridge. Lately severa^ oeUwt
private schools in the Eastern and Ifiddle States,
including seven in the City of New- York, have un-
dertaken to prepare their pupils as eandidates, and
ic June, 1877, it is proposed to hold the examina*
tlons in this Cltv as well as at Cambridge, Maaa,
thus making New- York a new examination oentra.
One cannot but hope that the spread of tbe Har^
vard examinations Is one aymptam of a new iatel.
lectual life in our private girls' schaola. These ei-
amlnatians are but one agency, and must not bs
expected to accomplish the whole proeess of r«>
demption. We shall not hare a oompleta svsten
of education for women until our ftcat-elass univer-
sities are thrown open to women, nor until liberally,
endowed fonnaations hare taken the place of Strug- ■
gjing private enterprise, in secoadarv educarton.
Fer tha present, the Harvard examinations are an
admissible gaage of the existtng status, a powerfo)
somaluB toward better things to come. ^ -tl'

AMUSEMENTS.
THR ESSIPOFF CONCBRT8.
Mme. Essipofi appeared at Steinwaj Hall,
for tbe third time, last night. She played threo
concertos — ^Beethoven's in G major; Henselt's cel-
ebrated work, and Mendelssohn's concerto
in G minor. Finer performances of these
compositions have never been enjoyed in
this country. Mme. Essipoff'a interpreta-
tion of Beethoven's concerto being, perhaps,
more graceful and poetical than severe and pro-
found, may have been considered a less remarkable
effort tban the lady's oth^r achievements ; but the
thonghtfulness and elegance of the'renderlng were
nnmistakable. The Henselt concerto was admir-
ably executed. The most difficult passsages — and
the reaaer need scarcely be rominded that
auch as these abound— offered, seemingly,
no obstacle whatever to the pianist, and the power-
ful flnale was delivered with great breadth of
phrasing and vigor of touch. Mme. Essipoff's de-
livery of Mendelssohn's concerto was, however, the
most delightful ineident af the evening. This mel-
odious and brilliant composition has never
before bad so appreciative and expressive
» rendering. Between the artist's skill in
bringing forth every desired quantity and
qaalit.y of tone, and the capabilities of the instru-
nient at her disposal— the Itke of which, we can-
not help observing, we have never listened to in the
concert-room — the impression of the lovely andante
was one we should hardly have thought it possible
to produce, except by its assignment to an orches-
tra of stringed instrnments, while the r#nda
was dashed off at a break-neck pace which
did not, marvelous to say, Impair the
clearness , of the writing at any point.
Playing of this sort literally defies analysis. M
Vivien contributed to yesterday's programme
1t*rume's " Fantaisie Pastorale," and an extract, if
we are not mistaken, from a violin composition by
Leonard on themes by Haydn. /

MR. BANGS' BENEFIT.
Mr. F. C. Bangs, whose representation - of
Sardanapalxu at Booth's Theatre has met with much
popular favor during the run of the piece, benefited
by the performance at that honse last evening.
There was a large attendance on the occasion, and,
in response to calls, Mr. Bangs appeared in front
cf the curtain, and, after expresaiag his apprecia-
tion of the kindness shown him, said :
" Ninetv-seven times have I rendered a character
as unlovely in moral attributes and void of qualities
to commend as ever fell to the lot of the actor to
portray — a character for whom you cannot posaiblv
entertaio one atom of sympathy. Indeed, nearly
every situation in "which the dramatist places this
luxurious' menarcb daring the progress of the play,
is calculated rather to excite your prc^dices than
arousa your admiration. And yet bow indulgent
you have been to this naughty monarob, bow good
you have been to me, lookiag beyond ttie monarch's
frailties into the actor's earnest effort, and by vour
presence this ni:;fat with smiles of enconrsgemant
assuring the bnmble ac>ist that you have doc so en-
tirely confannded him with the unforianato King,
'that yen — are not prepared to admit a distinotion,
with a difference in the artist's favor I For thia
kindness please accept my thanks. As in tbe past,
an it is now and ever will be my most ambitious de-
sire to deserve your aporobadon, whatever charac-
ter good fortune and my fi.iendiy managers may be
pleased to assign me."

THK MOST ACCOMP^JSHED ADVENTURESS OP
THB AOE^HO^^ SHE PASSED HBRSBLV
OBT AS A RICH WIDOW, AND OBTAINED
QUARTBR8 IN PASBIONABLE HOUSES —
THB POLICE ON HER TRACK.
^ For several weeks past a number of com-
plainta have baen received at' Police Head-qnartera
frem the proprietors of fashionable boarding-
houses In this City in relation to the operations of
a most accomplished female swindler. From what
has already been develoi>e(l by the detectives
it appears that the accnaed makes a specialty
of defrauding boarding-beuse keepers by hiring
the best suite of rooms in their establishment, and,
after remaining a week or two, she aiaappears, leav-
ing nothing but her unpaid bills behind. In this
manner a number of hotels and boarding-houses
have been victftnized ; and so adroitly has this ad-
venturess covered her tracks that tbe detectives
who have tieen searching for her have thus far failed
to trace her. She la apparently about forty years of
age, although she does not admit to be more than
thirty. She is about five feet two or three
inches in height, rather slim, and quite stylish in
appearance; has a sallow complexion, thin lips,
and the manners and dialect of a Southern woman.
She is a very rapid talker. Her dress is very
shabby, consisting ohiefiy of a blaos cashmere
dress trimmed with black silk, considerably worn.
She claims to be a daughter of ex-Gov. Bell, of
Texas, and is supposed to be a professional lobby-
ist, as^ she showed a remarkable familiarity with
persons residing at the national capital.
One of her chief victims is Mrs. E. F. Bishop,
tbe widow of the late Nathaniel C. Bisnop, who
keeps a fashionable boarding-house at No. 98 Fifth
avenue. Mrs. Bidhop, It will be remembered, gained
a great deal of unfortunate notoriety through a liti-
gation with her hosband, which continued for a num-
ber of years before his death, during which period
they lived apart. Mrs. Bishop also came before
tbe public as &n elocutionist and exponent of
spiritualism. Her ho,nse is fitted up in
the moat elegant style and her guests are the most
select that can be found. On the 22d of September,
the woman referred to above called on Mrs. Bishop
and expressed a oesire to hire tne handsomest and
most expensive suite of apartments in the house.
She gave her name as Mrs. Castlemaine. and repre-
sented herself as a widow of greatwealth and of the
highest social standing, and that she had a son who
was a physician, but who followed bis profession aa
a mere pastime. He was married and had- one child,
and Mrs. Castlemaine desired rooms for her son and
bis family as well as for herseif. She stated
that she had been spending the Summer at
her country seat near Poughkeepsie and
as she had determined, to pass the Winter in this
City she .preferred rooms at a private boarding-
house, such as Mrs. Bishop's, rather than go to a
public hotel. Her. shabby appearance did
not prepossess Mrs. Bishop in her favor,
but she talked so glibly about her
wealth and family connections that Mrs.
Bishop was completely deceived. Being asked for
references Mrs. Castlemaine spoke of her intimacy
with August Belmont, Commodore Vanderbilt, the
Havemeyer and Gnnther families, and many other
prominent persons in this City and Washington.
Mrs. Bishop believed her and came to the
conclusion that her shabby toilet - was
merely an indication of a rich woman's
eccentricity. The womkn represented that she
would require accommodations for five horses in
Mrs. Bishop's atable, one a trotter, for which she
bad been pffered $10,000, and the other tour full-
blooded carriage horses. These were on the
way from her farm near Poughkeepsie
in charge of the grooms, as they were far
too valuable to be trusted to the railroad,
and Mrs. Bishop consented that her stable should
be altered to accommodate her new boarder's
eauine treasures. She also desired the best rooms
in the house for beraeU and her family, and in-
sisted nnon a private table. Mrs. Bishop, complete-
ly bewildered by tbe ipagnificent requirements of
this clever adventuress, and, deceived by her talk
and. manner, placed' her entire household at the dis-
posal of the new boarder, who subjected the prem-
ises to the most rigid inspeclien, and after a great
deal of supercilious criticism uf the rooms
and their appointments, finally selected the
rooms having tbe choice locations and
the handsomest furniture and appointments. The
price for tbe accommodations was settled at (300
per week, and the rooms were taken from that day.
As Mrs. Castlemaine, having concluded all the ar-
rangements satisfactorily, arose to take her de-
parture, she complained of> tbe bad weather,
and of feeling very lonely at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, where she stated she
had a room. She said that she felt almost afraid to
sleep alone in that large hotel, and finally asked
Mrs. Bishop If she could not accommodate her with
a roam for that night. Mrs. Bisphop, sympathizing
with tho loneliness of the rich widow, readil.y
fell into tbe trap, and Mrs. Castlemaine was
installed in a handsome bed-room for the night.
Mrs. Bishop was so impressed with her new board-
er that she did not send to any ot tbe persons
whom she gave as reierences, and this was the
fatal defect in tbe whole case, for, bad she taken
that precaution, the true character of the rich
widow would havs been discovered. Mrs.
Castlemaine remalnd in Mrs. Bishop's honse for
ten days, and during the whole of that time Mrs.
Bishop believed in the truth and integrity of her
migniflcent boarder. A new trouble, however,
now arose, and was a source of constant anxiety to
Mrs. Castlemaine. It will be remembered
that when she came to Mrs. Bishop's
house she had no baggage, not even a change of
clothing. She had left orders at Poughkeepsie to
have her trunks sent on to this City at once, but
she was afraid that rascally Victor, her coachman,
had neglected his duty, and she was at her wits'
ends. Mrs. Bishop generously smoothed this diffi-
culty from her path by opening her wardrobe
and allowing Mrs. Castlemaine to choose for her-
self. She selected several changes of under-cloth-
ing, and in themeantime she wrote and telegraphed
to her faithless servantg, at Poughkeepsie, to
send on her trunks without delay. During
Mrs. Castlemaine's stay at the honse, Mrs.
Bishop was robbed of a large quantity
of silverware, thirteen pairs of lace curtains, which
bad been brought from Paris, and which coat $1,000
a pair, and a great quantity of table and household
linen. These robberies, it was ascertaiuecl, were
perpetrated by negro servants in tbe house, and the
cnriains and nearly all the silverware have been re-
covered. It is not believed. that Mrs. Castlemaioe
had anything to do with these robberies, although
one tbing which ooiurred looks as though she con-
templated sometbiag tar bolder. Bv some means
she induced the too confiding Mre. Bishop to
open her sate io which stfe kept her valua-
bles and the diamond jewelry of a number
of her guests who were viai'ing the Cen-
tennial Fxposition, which valuables had
been intrusted to her for safe keeping. Mrs. Cas-
tlemaine examined this sate with great curiosity,
and subsequently, by speoiona pretext, obtained
possession of the key to the receptacle,
She kept possession oi this key, and when
she returned it, there adhered to the
key small particles of wax, or soap, which had evi-
dently been used for tbe pnrpose ot taking an im-
pression. Her stay at Mrs. Bishop's honse was
most pleasant. She occupied a handsome parlor
and bedroom, and was served with meals composed
of tbe choicest the markets offered. She appeared
to have a great and abiding att'eoliun
for champagne and brandy, of which
she drank freely, and ordered the items to be put
doWn In her bill with a fang froid n^t exceeded by
Montague in his " ChargeUt to Buster." In this
manner ten days rapidly, passed; the Ohly thing
which T seemed to mar the pleasure of the
wealthy and aristocratic Mrs. Castlemaine was
her anxiety about the non-arrival of
her baggage. On the morning of the tenth
day of her stay at Mrs. Bishop's house she sent
down word that she did not feel well and would not
leave ber room. She requested a light breakfast to
be sent up to ber. A delicate repast was prepared
and sant to her room, and she partook if the meal
while iu bed. At lunch time, Mrs. Bishops had
prepared lor the invalid a very tempting lunch, and
took it UD to the room herself. Her astonishment
may be imagined when she found tbe room nnten-
auted. Mrs. Castlemaine had left the house with-
out informing any person of ber intention, and was
not seen again on tbe premises. Tbe fii^bt of tbe
woman opened the eyus ol Mrs. Bishop to her true
character, and she felt that she had been most i
cruelly imposed upon. She thereupon notified the
Police authorities, aud gave an accurate descrip-
tion of tho woman by whom she had been swindled.
Mrs. Castlemaine on leaving the honse of Mrs.
Bishop, walked up Fifth avenue to the palatial
boarding estalilishmeutof Mrs. Putnam, Nos. 125,
127, aud 129 Fifth avenue, where, on the repreaeu-
tatiou that she was Mrs. Banker, a wealthy widow,
she encaged a suite of apartments for wuich she
contracted to pay 8125 per week'. She also expressed
a desire to hire auitable rooms for her "dear
friend," Miss Amy Sedgwick, the well-known
JBnghsh authoress, but Mrs. Putnam intimatedthat
she could not conveniently aceomoiodato Miss
Sedgwick tuleeis she adouted the alternative of dis-
missing other guests, which, however, she declined
to do. To Mrs. Pntnam Mrs. Bankor, alias Mrs.
Castlemaine, volunteered the 'information that
she was a Southern lady of strong
Democratic principles, but the boarding
mistress assured ber new guest that
politics were little dlscussod by ber guests.
Gen. Beauregard, who had boarded at the estab-
lishment sone time previous fir a bii -t period,
had, notwithstandlnghis former associations, en-
joyed the pleasantest intercourse with other guests
of pronounced Republican sympathies. In the
mention of tha. famous .. Confederate General's
name, Mrs. Banker exclaimed that the General
waa an old ,'md much admired friend of her*.
She was intimately acquainted with the General's
/amilv, whose gnest shp had frequentl.y liean. The
clever Mrs. Banker's airs and graces fiad the de-
sired effect in completely victimizing Mrs. Put-
nam, and on the 9th inst. the new boarder surrep-
titiously left tho house, without, of course, paying
bet bill. Further revelations concerning ber depre-
dations show that she next attempted to enter the
CheRterflold House, No. 208 Fifth avenue, by the
emoloymeut of the same tactics, but the proprietor
not only demanded unqaestionable i references, but
also payment for the desired accommodation in ad-
vance, at which the lady waa auparentiy highl.y
insulted, and refused to stay in a house kept
by a "man." The detectives are worlclng assirtuous-
ly to efiect the arrest of this clever adventuress,
and have reason to hope they will soon accomplish
their purpose. Among the complainants agsiost
her, besides Mrs. Bishop and Mrs. Putnam, are tbe
proprietors of the Southern Hotel, and the owners
of fashionable boarding-house* in Rast Fourteenth
street.
POLITICAL NOTES. ^
Mr. Segar, in a published letter, annonnoes
his intention to contest Mr. Goods' s seat as Repre-
sentative in Congress from tbe Second District of
.Virginia, on the ground of fraud and Intimidation.
In a private letter from TJtica, dated the 1 6th
inst,, Senator Coukling says: ''My eyes are getting
all right, and though weak and snffering from neu-
ralgio pains, X have no doubt of being in my seat at
the opening to answer to my name.
The Selma Times urges the election of Gen.
John T. Morgan as United States Senator from
Alabama. It says bels thspride^f the State, and
that he ought to be sent to the Senate to co-operate
with Lamar and Grordon, tbe two great Southerners
now in that body.
THE TIMES' ELECTION RETURNS.
From the Omaha Bepublican Nov. 14.
We publish the special ^dispatches published
in Friday's New-Yobk Times, which journal has so
far presented the most reliable news in its corre-
pondenoe and editorials.
From the Syracuse Journal.
The Nbw-Yokk: Times has had the pluck of
conviction that Hayes and Wheeler were elected
ever since the day of the election. The distinction
of never having given it up belongs solely to THE
Times.
Trom the New-Haven Palladium.
The Times has 'surpassed itself during tbe
last week, and stands at the head of American
journalism. Almost alone it refused on Wednesday
morning to concede a Democratic victory, while it
gave Mr. Tilden 184 votes and Gov. Hayes 166.
Nothing had been heard from South Carolina,
Florida, and Louisiana, and so it placed them iu
the " doubtful " list. A few hours showed the
wisdom of its course. Dispatches from authentic
sources gave assurance of Republican victories in
the doubtful States, and then, and not till then,
The Times claimed them.
From the Northampton (Mass.) Oazttte.
The Nbw-Yoek Times has been the best au-
thority in election matters. On Wednesday It de-
clared the result ot the Presidential contest in
doubt, while all the other New-York papers eon-
ceded the election of Tilden. On Thursday it was
confident of Hayes' election, and has steadily ad-
hered to that opinion and given good reasons for
its belief. Its Intelligence from the doubtful States
has been fuller than that of any other paper. . In
fact, all through the campaign The Times has been
the leading Republican lonrnal, and has established
for itself a solid reputation. It is an able and
reliable paper.
From, the Hartford Courant
We publish, this morning, a communication
from a gentleman who was permitted, last week, to
see the inner working of the leading American
newspaper, and which will be read with especial
interest just now, as showing tbe reason for Re-
publican confidence in tbe estimates of The New-
YoBK Times. No other Journal in the country
made such extensive arrangements for ascertaining
the result in the different States, from private and
trustworthy soureus, and, as a result, no .other
loarual was able to give so complete a summary o^
the situation on the morning after election. It is
worthy of mention, that in regard to the doubttul
States, fuller returns have, in every instance, justi-
fied tne faith of The Times in its special corre-
spondents. There was gieaier doabt as to the vote
of California, Oregon, and Nevada, than of South
Carolina, Florida, and Leoisiana. And ihe Tilden
managers, before election, wsre far more confident
ot Wisconsin than of either of these States. The
Times has been right thus far, and it has trom the
first been more sure of these three Southern States
than it was of the Pacific States. It will do for the
present to put trust in The Times and wait for the
official returns. ^^^^^^

GREAT NOVEL. ,;,•/
' PHILIP NOLAN'S F&IENDS)
OR,
SHOW IrOUR P4SSP0KTS,
One vol., 12mo. Illustrated. Cloth, $1 76.
This novel is ioentifted, through one of its leading
characters, with' tbe most famous of Mr. Hale's shorter
stories, "The Man Without a Country." But It has
a higher claim to permanent popularity than this, in
the fact that it is a faithful study of one of the most
interesting and romantic episodes in our history as a
nation, when the Soutn-west, early in tbe preseat
century, was In a transition state— its allegiance di-
vi4ed between France. Spain, and tbe United States.
The life of the Indians, their Intercourse with the
whites, the thrilling adventures of hunters and of
spies, and all the unique features of wild frontier life
— that, too, in an entirely nnhackneyed rpglon-— are ac-
curately and minutely described, and make the novel
freshly afid distinctively American.

8yo, cloth, $3.
For half a century tbe thoughts of Bentbam nave
been working m the minds ot men. many of whom
have forgotten, or have never known, the name of the
grestjurlst. Tne fruit of his ideas has been a move-
ment ot which the last generation saw the beginning,
and of which tbe present generation will not see tbe
end.— rA« Nation.
Buntbam's i>pectilations began with law, and in that
department he accomplished his gieateat triumphs.
Ue found the philosophy ot law a chaos; h? left it a
science. He found tbe practice of the law an Augean
staole; he turned the river into it which is mining'
and sweeping away mound after mound of its ruhblah.

They would keep falling back, not indeed as yei
ranning away, bat not to be relied en for a staod.
louring the short loll we began to breathe more
Creelr. If was not so bad after all. Tha Turks
not having succeeded aoite, would fall baek as was
tnsir went, and Servia might be oace again
■aved by the skin of her teeth ; but while we were
bxMktblag more freely the Turks were simply tak-
ing breath. The lull gave place all in^aa inatant lo
m taarfol din, composed of a fleroer cannonaae than
ever, a forlous musketry fire, and resoundlne shouts
isf 'Allah 1 Allah 1 ' There r«se a» ooanter-cry on
«at aide. The Servians had had enongh. We were
IirasMd hack, ^ here slowly and steadily,
thera with a W rush. The first line was
swamped as it by ■* cataract of
Torka flowins up hill. J dw not know what came
•f tha eannoa thera, I have not liked to ask. Bat
from my knowledge of the awkward and difficult
positions of some of the batteries, I fear that all the
trans down in this first line were not brought away.
The saniion of the Urst line onee silenced, and those
la tha second line encountering tne whole weight
of th« hostile artillery, the unhappy ending ap-
proaolied only too quickly. Closer and yet oioser
earn* that deadly hug of the embraciog Turkish
flanks, and so swiftly also the advance of the Tark-
K& centra, that self-preservation but too apeedity
became tha problem tur most. The Bussiaus stood
their ground and kept a trout while an attempt was
made to oarry off the heavy cannon, the 12-poand-
ers^ oat of 2io. 3 £attery ia tha second line.
In defaolt >-of horses and ballooka, Servian
■oldiers ware attempted to be pressed into the
service. Later la tbs evening I have seen two
1%-peanders safe^ which I hope belonged to It.

ft became oaexgetlfl^wlihout panic. All the artil-
^ry axoept • a • iew« eoverlng batteries ^ were dis-
patched ^ the >reax;.«a. route 'for Fara^in. The
position the Infantry oX Seligrad aad the broken
Skoals battalions look up for the time was a
Itaeltered oae on the ' reverse slope of the eleva-
tion between Baahaa i and Deli^rad. The shell
JBre became heavier as , the day advaneed, aad the
camp was est alight ia several plaoea. The head-
quarter stair stlU remained in and about the cha-
teau, wUeh had been emptied of its contents except
the camp dtchen. t It was very miserable to stroll
ftbout the dfeary rooms aiaoBg the litter of rubbish
^ad waste paper. ^ I was a partaker of the last mid-
day meal eatea - la ' the bead-quarters dlning-ro om.
That apartaoeat, whiob witnessed the ' toasting of
^rinee Milan aa king, had been papered only a few
days previously, to make it sightly and somfortable
for the 'Winter. All the flaga aad tinsel ornaments
which had been stuck up round the ohAteaa in ex-
peotanoy of Milan coming and accepting the title of
king had beea^taken^down and bandied into the
■wagons, f along | wita ' pots r and ' pans and boots
aad alieepskina. Verily misfortune makes strange
Pied-ddUcwt. Tohernayeff waa not 'present at the
^naolieoa.,; He waa basy preparing' fez his journey
to meet the • Prince, and Z think it very probsbls he
did not eare to come there among as. . Negininsff,
driyea tnm hia eyrie oa the hill top of DJunis, his
handsome face toll of sadneaa, was received with
much sympathy nod leapeet; for we all knew what
a gallant fight he had made of it, and hew that
iiglit had gone agalnat blm through no fault of his.
Xners was Uttle talk, for all were disheartened, and
most ware angry. Only Doohtouroff and Monte-
verde to«k the trouble to try to keep a good face on
the diaaater, but the former was pale as death, and
bu man I know suffers more acute disappointment.
Alter ssting I weut for a last stroll, althsugh the
dropping shells whloa had been the strange musical
accompaniment of oar meal rendered exyosare
somewhat hazardous. The soldiers were tear,
tng down the planking and stacking it, so that
It should the mors thoroughly burn, for if they
tiave^ beaten us we cannot quite oblige the Turks
"* with the occupancy of our intended Winter quar-
ters. The fiat of d«struction by fire has goneforth
picaiast the camp. The sky to southward is ruddy

X tueu went and wrote a telegram, and saw 11
dispatiibed to the Dailu ^*v)$, the last telegram, I
' believe, sent from the Deligrad oamn. The oiBce
was in (he room of one of the two roadside houses
which fonuerly wore inns, and aioaad which the
p^arkilb shells were dropping smartly. The clerk
worked ou placidly till a shell bursi on the roof,
acd theu he thought the time had come to
rtop. He sent my message from the only
tsstTamsDt left itaading. I went to gay adieu to
the liusftian offloera. 'They will have no more ef

There is ao flgbt in fibem, the Bussians contend,

and he and M. Kicoliteh quarreled when the lat-

The greetings wers very cordial, and then the
Prince and bis General retired to a t^te-^tfite.
ITothing is known as to the plan§ or views, ' if
indeed any have been formed, I fancy Gon.'
Tchemayeff is prepared to state to his Boyal High-
nens that, if ordered to do so, he would cheerfully
fight to the last ditch, but that he is not to be re-
,garded as recommending resistance of so desperate
a character, with aa Army composed of men who
appear te make worse soldiers the more battles
they participate in, and of whom one may well
despair of making reliably fighting men. frinoa
Milan is believed to have no craving to fl^ht out

to-night that he has expressed a desire to abdicate.

From the Qcneva Oontinmt.
^ The Italian \ coast oa the . Adriatic i exhibits
already, both in the look of the country ^ aad in the
features of the people, a semi-Oriental I character.'
We are here in Magna Greoia, and the heel aa well
as the point of the Italian Boot — Puglia aa well as
Calabria — ^bear distinctly the marks of that ancient
civilization ,> whioh set in with the tide of Greek
colonists, and whioh the vicissitudes, of after-times
were in a great meastue powerless to affect. As
the ' traveler * breaks through the A Apennine
gorges after f Beneveato^ he advances across the
Tavoliere di '- Poglia, a granary now, aa it
was in Boman times, e vast, wind-blown, flat sur-
face, unlike any other region in Italy, and for a par-
allel to which one mast go to the fertile bat dreary
and desolate districts of Castile and Aragon. There
IS net a tree, not a j&ush in sight — nothing living or
telling of life, save here and there, at great dis-
tances, some huge farm-bouse, with bizh fencing,
walla, and turrets, ;the tokeas of former insecaricy,
and in the home -field aiound.lt a shaggy herd
grazing, tended by a herdsman still shBge^ier.
There is nothings to relieve that ocean-like,
eves, monotonous vastness. Tho mountains
in your rear vaaish in the Antumn haze
before yo^ are in sight of the mage of the Gargano,
a lung, smooth ridge, dipping in the sea far away
on your left, and forming the clumsy spur above
the heel of the boot. As you reach Barletta, and
the railway trends seawards to the sfaore, the look
ot the country imoroves. The land is still level,
but it teems with the vine, the olive, and the mul-
berry. A f&W evergreen oaks and stone pines
tuwer aloft over tbe orchards, the acacia lines the
railway track, and each station has its attempt at
flower-beds and shrabberies, as on the Bbincver in
Switzerland. Towns, Villages, and isolated bouses,
however, as yoa hurry past Barletta, Trani.Barl,
&.O., almost invariably whitewashed and flat-roofed,
xemind you of Sastern habitations. One may fancy
what they must look like in the long Summer
months, glaring and grilling in the sun, unrelieved
by the shelldr of a tree or by the shade and fresh-
ness ot more sober haes. The movement along the
line and at the stations was considerable; the
peasantry are in the mala a well-dreased and
well-to-do looking people, forPuglta.'unlike Cala-
bria ana the other southern provinces, is an orderly
aud laborious commuuity. In a flratciasa carnage,
however, I should have been alone bat for tbe com-
pauy of priests ot high rank, in flue long robes, pur-
ple stockings, and with large golden crosses on
their breasts, portly bishops and monsignors, at-
tended by their almoaers, bearing wi'^uesa to the
thriving condition of a pert, at least, of the clergy
in Italy after so many years oi the sqaabbie be-
tween Church aad State.

From the Fall MaU Qazettt, Nov. 3. '
-; Mr. Serjeant Cox, the President ot the Psy-
chological Society, in opening the third session of
the society last night, spoke of the prosecution of
Mr. Slade as aa attempt of the matenallsta, under a
transparent pretext of protecting the puolic, to sup-
press the Investigation of all psychological phe-
nomena, beeaose, if proved to be true, they were
fatal to the theory of materialism, i The pretence of
publio ^ interesta was, he said, transparent. The
public was not m any way concerned in the mat-
ter, .for the public waa not appealed to. The
scieutifio worlo, literary men, the editors of jour-
nals, who weire Invited to witness the nhenomeua
said to occtir, were siuely very well able to take
care of themselves. The educated, tbe Intelligeat.
and the wealthy, and not the Ignorant and the
poor, for whone protection tbe law was mstde, had
no need of tbe segia of a Police Ceart 4« save them
from impostuxe. The object really sought was
plain enough. It was to bring into discredit the
aathority of Barrett, Wallace, Crookea, Lind-
say, Bayieigli, and the other members
of the Boyal Society, who had acknowl-
edged the reality, of some at least, of the
pbychological tphanomens. Bat suoh hopes bad
been grievoaely disappointed. Whether Mr. Slade
was or was not guilty, the trial had had the anlooked-
for eflect of directing the attention of tbe public to
the tact that phenomena wers asserted to exist, of
the reality of which every person might if he
pleased satisfy himself by actual inspection, which
bwept away now and forever the dark and debasing
doctrines ot the materialists. Mr. Munton, la pro-
posing a vote of thanks to the President, said he de-
sired to correct an impression which had got abroad
that Mr. Serjeant Cox would be President of the
court before which Mr. Slade's appeal case would
be heard. It was most unlikely that Mr. Seijeant
Cox would be present.

FREIGHTS — A brisk husineas was reported again to -
da,y in the chartering line at strong and buoyant
rates, 60me of the day's contracts showing a further
slight improvement. The feature of the trading was in
the line 01 tonnage for Petroleum,' largely tor Conti-
nental ports, the favorable cable advices stimulating
the demand from this interest. Vessels for
Grain were also more sought after, and the advan-
tage 88 to r.iiP8 was in favor ol shipowners.
Tne mquir.v was in good part for outpoit loading,
chiefly f liiladeiphia and Baltimore. Tonnage for Lum-
ber. Kesin, and general careo was in fair request at
full figures. The exception of dullness in this connec-
tion was in the line of charters for the Cottou trade,
the movement in this intircst having been
checked, iu part, by tho^ warlike tenor
of the latq cable reports. Berth Ireights were
moderately active, aiid quoted strong ttiroughnut.

THE ADULTERATION OF WISE.

PHttADELPHlA, Kov. 5, 1876.
AmoQjf the produots of manuiaoturing in-
dnstrr displ%^d in the Centennlar Exbibition,
oona, if I laay ba - exoased so apparent a paradox,
la so 'weli and so badly rapreaeoted as that of plate
{iaw. There are nine ooonpetitora la this class;
t>at I reiret to bare ^ record that, of these exhibi-
tors, four are Belgians, two arc Frenohmen, two are
&9rmaDS, and. only 'one baQs from the United
States. And yet, all thinss oonsideced, I doabt if
there is; a ooaatiy in the world whioh has each
ipleacUd opportanlties for leadraic toe ran In tbe
maanfiaotare of fine pifte glass. fPor quaUtyand
su« of the plates exhibited kare, J those ef the St.
Gobam Company, of France, and those of the
Cootcelles Company, of Belgium, stand pre-emi-
aent ; all the plates exhibited by the latter ci>in-
paay bein£ prodnoed by ^ the process of chenew
finsle-sbeet amsealing fnrnace, of which I shall say
more presently,- ^ and which eonstitatss one of the
groat modem improvements' in plate-glass makinj:.
The American plate trlass on exhibition appears to
ate, much as I regret to say so, not only inferior to
»U others in ciaantity ' bat also in qnality. StrooB
by this marked inferiority, I haye made some in*
jaiiies into tbe umanafaetnre of. and trade
in plate class m "" the Uaited States. On
zoosaltinc some Castom-honse statistics, I was
astonished to find that -the IToited States anna'ally
impoarts plate class to an amoant of money raryint;
(hna flTQ to eight millioii«\ of dollars in gold— this
ralae ^ning the appraisement at < tbe port ot ship-
ment, not at the port of arrivaL On inqnirlng into
the aotnal capacity of prodaotion of the plate-glass
mannuctnrera of the UniteTl^ Stataa, I find that
they can ' prooaca ' only ' five ; or six, or perhaps
seytti, per cent, of the quantity of plate glaas ased
la the eonntry ; and t yet, taken . all together, the '
United Stateb possess all the material elements for'
making plate glass at a much lower cost of produe-
tton than is ^ the ease with .their great Saropean
pBrreyon. I belieye that i I do not exaggerate .
vdeo I lay that oar sand Is actually the pnrest and^
iroitest knowo. Onr Western (glass mannfactarers
Milypayfor their coal abonti one-third the price
Utav the:, same quality of coal woold command in
Bel^nm: ' and, admitting tltat wages are higher
here, we haye in oar faror cheaper transportation
and a protective daty^f fifty cents per sanare foot.
Xhis protective daty, at aotoal prices, represents
.seventy or eighty percent, of the selling price of
ptate slass in Bslgiam, and represents a good deal
' mora than the total eost of hand labor spent, in the
tJalted States, in the prodaotion of a square foot of
•>l^te glass.
; Btrt, before* proceeding ffnrther, I will say some-
^tng of the location of oar American plate-glass
ivories, imd. at the same time, I will indicate what I
Ibaltere to be the coat of the raw materials ' at each
of these wbrks, and their respective facilities for
transportation. There are, in all, four plate-slass
-work a — so far as I can learn — in the United States ;
of thaee, two are on the ttanks of the Ohio liiver.
IBotii ■'. of these works, if I may .- use such
m expression, are the children of the
■ante father — Cat>t Ford — and possess many strong
teacares4of brotherly resemblance. Capt. Ford,
after having spent iu.<i life on Western river boats,
■uddanly etf.''tered into the manatactare of plate
j^xae; and aJthoogn tbe works he bailt are very
imperfect, the.y do lionor to his inyentive powers
and general a.bility. For Capt. Ford bad never
.-visited any^nropean plat8-;;lass manafaotory, and,
{■ava-.g no iniowksdge of cbemisal science, be bad,
Itiiere^ore,' to proceed at a ventnre — both chemically
Boid'Bit'ebamcally.V The two works which he built
■ra tbfl^ only two! iii the United States which are
BOW iB4operation,K \the first . one now belong-
tne to^ the Star'< Glass Company, and
beii^ locacedi at New- Albany, Ind.; v the second
being ther property oft>the Looisyille Plate-glass
Cooipaay. '^nd located at liOnisville, Xy. At both
bf these works the price of sand is aboat three
doUars a ton,^he'pricB of coal is two dollars a ton,
and the prioeio£,soda-as^ is about , the same as in
England, with tbe addition of the merely nominal -
tmsort daty of ooe-quarter of a cent a poaad and '
Site freight, wluehitby water, via New-Orleans, is
srery low. - The aggregate price of soda-aah thus es-
tabhslied is abonc.thevsome as the price of soda ash
InBelginm. Tbe'pricdiof llmestoae ia- about one
Soliar and a. haif per ton,idelivered at tbe works.
) Xhere is ane other plate-glaas works in the West
>- <he maenifleently-bniit and magnificently-located
works of CrystalXJity. near St. Louis, Mo., which
are ^^ property of )the American Plate- glass Com-
l»a&y of St. X>oais4- The aana found at Crystal City —
Che uaiae speaka for itself— is of the purest and most
)va)aable description. \ It la found in tbe greatest
abundance at theVworkB, and can hardly exceed in
!oost fifty cents a\ton.*^:' Coal is worth only |2, and
even less. Limeatoneus found on the spot, and
only costs t the labor ; necessary to quarry and
' '«art it. S(}da-asb may be had at even a cheaper
i^Ecigbt than tnat paid uy tlie two previously men-
itloned companies. Crystal City having very easy
freights, via tbe Mississippi, to and from tbe South
and West. And yet, notwitnatanding alls these ad'
faatac'es. Crystal City to-day presents the moum-
faisDeciacle-bf , having Jier splendid glass-works,
with' all their elements of pro&pective ' wealth,
Btaoding idia , the yards of the works fall ef ooaJ,
the storehouse full ot'soda-asb mountains of sand
and limestone witbiivatew yards, and everything
(ready at band to manuiactare the very finest olate-
glass, if the proper skiU could only be introduced
low the concern to givwit.lite.
The I'oartb glass woraa of|the United States is
that known as the Leni^x Glass Worxs, at Lennax,
felMS. These works are located only a fewsmiles
fcota. the beautiful -^nds of Berkstiire, the sand.
Oeiog delivered at the works at a cost of about $3
a ton. Unt'ortanat«ly. the coal supply is far aid-
tant, and coal, delivered at th» works at Lennox,
cusIpS %& a ion. ..The.ie works, which were recently
for sale, are at » present : standing idle. Their lo-
cation, .on the ) iiosion s,, and Albany " Ballroad,
ts not a bad one ;< the country around is beau-
aivx and healthy i^fer a working population,
and aoda-asb -'can> he bad from England
via Boston, at a low figure. I '^ admit that thitse
WiiiEs are lesa fovoiably aitnated .than the Western
works of whiolv I have spoken, but I stlU think
that, with good maniigement, and the introduction
01' really akilled labor, tbey ceuld be .made to yield
large profits. I have cmutted to state that the Len-
aux works only prsdnee rough plate glass. < They
have no grinding and poliabing shops.
X will, in a few words, exx>laia the process of
making plate glass . and will snow tbe great differ-
ence in the process as carried on in tbe glass works
of Europe and the United States respectively, and
H is to tbia difference tiiat maal be asslKaed the lit-
tle success which has bitheitit attended tht manu-
<i tfaotnre of plate glass in the United States aad the
consequent very small invaatment of Ameriean
capital in so important a 1>ranch of domestic mana-
r.^cture. ■"
ijlass is obtained by melting together in large
pota sand, soda-ash, and limestene. With a view
to keeping the glass perfectly clear and free fr»m
imparities in the pots, it ia necessary to protect it
horn tbe smoke and ciadeis Inseparable from the
combustion of coal. In order to accomplish this —
I am speaktug of the geuerai oactoiu in Kurope —
the Siemens gaa-generaiing furnace ia tued. It is
placed ao a considerable distance from the glass-
melting furuacss, and tbe gas produced is
forced to travel through a long horizontal flue in
iwbicb it loses all ica dust. After a few months'
operation these flues will be found to be half fuU of
Idust and cindei-s, a fact which is, assuredly, suf-
ificieiu demuuscratien of their practical utility.
'Bat the Siemens furnacu has this further advan-
tace : It gives a heat which can always be perfectly
Tuumlated, not only aa regards the iateasity of the
.' heai« bat also.aa regards toe proper time wben the
' .desired^intensiiy shall be brought about. This
permits' of the great resularity of work-
is z which is so notable ia tbe Belgian
plate glass mannfactones. Ihose readers of Thb
■JiBW-YOKK TlUES Who have visited the Balgian
glass works will remember that at 6 o'clock in tbe
■DUToing, tbe regular: hour for casting, every maa is
at his Tfotb when th* gong strikes aad that the oper-
iatiou ut castiog immediately begins. Could this be
jpossible without tbe exact regulatieif>ot heat and
Jmoment ef desired iateasity of which I haye
[sDokeu ? Moreover, the incuiag«ir of the works is
{alwavs present in person, not to take eonunand of
Ithe operation of casting, bat to ascertain that every
lone is at his post and to afford to tho.^e who do their
Iduty tke satisl'aotiou of seeing that theif punctu-
Sallty is duly acknawledged by t.\e head of
Kho concern. ' But, notwithstanding ^he evident
Igieat advaatagea ' of the Siemens fiu-nace,'
I am aorry to say tliat onr three erea', Western plats-
ujliiss oiaanfacturing oorapanirs do not use ir. In
phe place of it tbey use tbe crmmon coal glass-fur-
nact}, in which the coal is. in immediate contact
. fwiib the pots holding ttte varisus ingradisnts for
. cuaking the glass. One of the first and worst sonse-
one after another, only to lounge about and wait an
hour, may be two or three hours, before the glass is
suffllciently vitrified to be cast. At last the pots are
brought out. TLey are covered with cinders, which
are more or less carefully removed belore the cast-
ing begins. And tbe duty of supervision of all this
is left to a subordinate, who has not the authority
• over the workmen necessary to enforce the care
and attention requisite for a good casting.
Now for th© operation of casting'the glass and
carrying it into the annealing furnace. When the
glass has been properly melted in the pots, the pots
are taken out of the melting-furnace and tbe glass
is poured from them on to a large cast-iron table,
tbe sujtaoe of which is nerfectly planed. An iron
roller is then passed over tbe iflass, and tbe rough
plate is produced. It is really very much like
rolling delicate pie-crust. But the plate of glass
thus obtained would be, if allowed to cool in the
open air, in a brittle state. It must, therefore, be
annealed, a process which consists in its remaining
for some days In tbe annealing furnace, in which it
IS allowed to cool very slowly and gradually.
These annealing tumaces are composed of a flat
slab large enough to receive one or more
sheets ot glaas, covered by a very low
vaulted roof, and having a door in front. After tbe
glass has been put into tbe fnrnace the door is
shut and hermetically sealed with flre-olav- Tbe
furnace i?i then Heated by two or three fires, whose
flames, having "licked" tbe glass, escape by a
chimney, which generally has its opening in one
of the corners of the vault. Hence arises the
necessity of a large anmber of annealing f ur- n
paces in all plate-glass works, and the conse-
quent representation of a great portion of
the capital invested in glass works by sunh
furnaces. The operation ot conveying the sheet
of glass from tbe casting table into the annealing
furnace ia one ot extreme delicacy. If the elass,
which is only in a aemi-solid state, should lose auy
of its pristine stTaiebtness by the operation, or, te
speak more correctly, auy of the original parallel-
ism of its two faces, it would be much more costly
to grind it, while thefdanger ot breakjns the plate
during the process of grinding would be great-
ly enhanced. It is also easy to under-
stand that,; if the undulation in the
surface of the sheet of glass be
greater than its thickness, all attemots at grinding
would be useless, because the grinding process
would h»ve to take away the entire thickness of
the glass at tbe most undulating poiats before It
could reduce the faces of the sheet to two planes,
^ mathematically parallel with each other — which is
the object ot the grinding process. In order to
secure tbe least possible disturbance of the semi-
solid sheet of glass, the Belgians have their
casting; tables set upon wheels runnins on
rails ; and, by this contrivance, the rolling table
is broaght into position exactly opposite the
mouth of tbe annealing furnace, so that the sheet
of glass can be pushed irom the table into the fur-
nace with the minimum of motion, and therefore
with tbe minimum chance of deviation from its
normal parallelism. This simple idea of a rolling
casting table, brought into immediate contact,
with the annealing furnace, is nowhere carried out
in the United States. At three of our works- at
New-Albany, Louisville, and Bennox-— the glass is
cast on fixed tables. From the tables the glass is
pushed on to a more or less even-surfaced wooden
wagon, the surface being of plaster. This too often
shaky two-wheeled wagon, not even running on
rails,' but rolling over the ordinary ground ot the
works, conveys the sheet of glass to the annealing
furnace. How is it possible, then, to prevent the
glass from losing much ot the parallelism of its
surfaces under so harborous an operatlsa ! One
would think we were in the last quarter of the
eighteenth rather than of the piueteenth cuntdry !
The proprietors of the Crystal Ci:y Works, how-
ever, have made seme improvement in this re-
spect. They have a sort of rolling cast-
ing table somewhat resembling the Bel-
,gian table. But, instead of bringing their
rolling table into immediate juxtanositiod wlfh
the mouth of their annealing lumace, the glass has
to pass oyer two intermediate tables before it
reaches tlia furnace; and as it is practically impos-
tible to bring all these tables to the same mathemat-
ical level, some inequality must arise in the surface
of the sheet as it parses from one table to another
before reaching the annealing furnace. Another
great feature of modem glass works in Belgium, is
the "single" annealing furnace, whereas, in the
United States the four sheet annealing furnace is
used everywhere. ■ Now, It is easy io see
that a sheet of glaas having, whil^ in a
semi-solid state, to travel inside ^ the anneal-
ing furnace, in order to reach its
destined position, must, during its journey, en-
counter causes of deviation which are totally ob-
viated if the furnace be so construotsd as to
hold only one sheet at a time. The absence of the
Siemens furnacb and the defect in straightness of
the rough plate-glass are the main causes of the
non-suoeess of plate-glass works in thia country.
The breakage of glass, too, is much greater in the
United States than in Europe, and' tbe time and
labor necessary for grinding are also much greater in
this country; while the finished plate produced
from a rough half-inch plate is much
thinner here thau it would be in Europe. The
grinding and polishing apparatus are pretty well
organized in our Western glais w^^rks , but, as I
have said, tbe Lennox Works neither polish nor
grind, confining their operatioas to the manufacture
of rough plato glass. It is true that the Lannux
works have been furnished with Siemens gas gen-
erators, but owing to other mistakes and sad mia-
manaeemement they failed soma time ago.
It appears to me that here is a siaco of things
which is rather humiliating to American enter-
prise and industrv. In a population of nearly forty
millions, it stands to reason ihat the demand for
plate-glass must be enormous. Every decent house,
every store-front, bears ample testimony in that
direetion ; and yet, we are to fold our hands, make
no use of tbe resources which nature has lavishly
placed at our commaad, and purchase from abnmd
what we ought to produce at home. Considering
tbe cheapness of coal, sand and limestone, all found in
abandance and of a superior quality in this country
and delivered at much lower prices than iu Europe;
wben we consider that soda-ash can be imported
from England at the mere nominal duty of one cent
per pound, and thait it costs no more here than in
Beldam ; when, moreover, we consider the enor-
mous import duty ot fifty cents a square foot, it is
aetuunding that American capital should lie idle in
tbe banks, and American workmen and their fami-
lies, crying out for bread, when our natural
opportunities and resources point to so
profitable a way tor the employ-
ment of both the one and the other
in the mannfacture of a staple article, for tbe
parcbase of which we are now compelled to send
jnillious of money annually lo Europe. Ia order to
start first-class plato-glasa works ou the beat Euro-
pean plan ef manutacture, would only require an
jnyestmeni of capital of ?S00,000, perhaps |
less, for in these times of depressioa
the requisite shops ana machinery could
be bought cheaper than is usually the case.
I have myself ^eard many a capitalist complain
during the last twelve months that all branehes of
manufactures are overdone, and that there Is no
temptation for them te make investments of that
character. Here, in the manufacture of plate glass '
there appears to me to be almost a virgin sail, in
which capital, wisely planted, would thrive and
multiply. A.t all events, two works in operation is
no ereat competition to contend with.
" I will conclude by saying that the Belgian Gov-
ernment, anxious to ascertain tbe probable luture
of tbe glass trade between Belgium and the United
States, has commissioned one of the Belgian j ad gas
of tlie Centennial Exhibition to make a searching
investigation of the condition and prospects of the
manufacture of plate glass in this country. I b')-
lieve that I am not committing a breaob of confi-
dence in intimating that the tenor of the report of
the Commissioner te his Government is that the
United States have it in th<iir power to render them-
selves absolutely independent ot foreign producers
of plate glass just so soon as they make up their
minds to do so. A. P.
COMBAT BETWEEN TWO POLAR BEARS.
The Cologne ■ G'oseite of Nov. 1 contains an
account of a combat which took place in the
Zoological Gardens of that city between two polar
Dears, which, that journal remarks, " a Koman
Emperor would assuredly have paid a million ses-
tertii to witness." These two bears had beeri
bronght from Spitzbergen five years ago, and had
been placed in a large pit, with a tank in tbe cen-
tre. Until within the last few days they had re-
mained upon eicelleat terms with each other, but
last week a quarrel occurred between them,
the result of which was that the female
bear took '' refuge ' upon the summit of a
large rook in one comer ot the pit. The male dirt
not attempt to follow her, and she romainea thsre
three days, when, pressed by hunger, sbe de-
scended again. As soon as the male bear saw ber
ko immediately, rushed at her and attacked her
with his fore-paws. The keeners attempted to sep-
arate them, and belabsred the male with heavy iron
bars, but the bones in the head of the polar bear
are so much harder than those of the ordinary bear
that these blows took no effect. The male bear
continued to wreak his vengoance upoa his oom-
panioD, and, after having almest torn her body
into ribbons, he dragged her to the bot-
tom of the tank, and held her there until
he felt assured that all sign of life wa.s extinct. He
then brought her body back to the 11 lor ot the pit,
and drageed it round the tank for nearly an hour.
Alter this, he withdrew iuto hi.i sleepiag-Ueu to
rest from his labors, and the keepers at odco closed
the iron bars upou him. Having examined tiie
bixlv of the dead bear, thev found thai it had re-
ceived more than a handred wounds; the neck ami
head were sruahsd almost to a jelly, aud the fle.ih
was bangiuK in strips from tho back and side.s.
During the whole combat neither of the bears ut-
tered a cry or sound ot any Kind.

A HOTEL-KEEPER ACOVSED OF THEFT.
The Philadelphia Ledger of Tuesday says :
"Charles Taylor, a hotel proprietor ou Belmont
avenue, near the Centennial Grounds, was charged
at the Central Statien, yesterday, with the appro-
priation of a boarder's watch. Christopher C.
Noble, of West Chester, testified that he was stop-
ping at the hotel, and that between 12 and 2 o,'clock
a few Hvrniiigs ago bis room was entered by the
proprietor, who took'his gold watch, valued at 4185,
from his vest pocket and carried it away. There
was no lirht in the room, be said, but one outside,
which enabled blm to see the person quite diaiincc-

VARIOUS SUBJECTS DISCUSSED.
REAPING AS WE HAVE SOWN. i
To the Editor of the New- York Times :
In your paper, under date of the 14th, under
the heading of '• Roman Catholic Knle," several
letter-writers take exceptions to the late ordinance
passed over the Mayor's veto, allowing the Boman
Catholic Cathedral to make sewer connections
without cost. This is no new thing. This
society has been allowed from time im-
memorial a free use of {.lublic property, al-
almos" without protest. Thestranjjest feature con-
nected with this whole matter is that we find maoy
of our moat reputable citizens, who seemingly have
the best interests of our Ciiy at heart, go to the
pells and vote for the very men those lettpr-writera
complaiu of. So long as this 8tat« of affairs con-
tinues, how can it be expected that just such laws
as those complained of will not be enacted.

MORE LIGHT NEEDED.
To the Editor of the Xew- York Times :
The New-Jersey Central Railroad ferry-boats
are probably the finest on the Hudson Eiver, and
the most comfortable in th* day-time. If, however,
it is your bad fortune to be obliged to use one in the
evening, be sure and carry a lantern with you.
The cabins of these fine boats are so badly lighted
that it is impossible to distinguish a person across
them. The contrast between the boats of this hue
and those of' the Pennsylvania Kailroad is marked,
as the last named use gas :as an lUumiBstor. Two
miserable kerosene lamps light each aabln. Econo-
my is the order of the d^y, but such parsimonious
economy is disgraqefal in- these times of progress.
Will you not throw the powerful lenses of your
ionrnnl on this company, and extract not a little
but a brilliant nght from them. 8. T. ROLLER.

SAMPLE JUDGE OF ELECTION.
To t?it Editor of the New- York Times :
One of the " prominent gentlemen" selected
by Mr. Abram S. Hewitt to go from Philadelphia
to the South m the character of " pacifioutor " or
umpire, and who bas atartod in that capacity, is a
lawyer who had loudly threatened within the past
week that " they " would " not allow Hayes to be
inaugurated " — aud " that Mr. Tilden would be in-
augurated or nobody would be inaugurated." It is
hardly necessary to say that the author of
these revolutioaary sentiments was one Of
those who constantly saw con3tituj;ional ob-
j^^ctisns to everythinsc done by Mr. I^incoln
for the salvation of the country. The country
can judge how f»r such an "umpire" is
likely to contribute to a dispassionate or just set-
tlement of the px'esent complications.

TBE CATHEDRAL SEWER CONNECTIOJf.
To the Editor of the New-York Times :
Is it not a sad commentary upon our " free
institutions " that in this great metropolis The
Times, with very lew exceptions, is the oaly paper
that has tbe manhood and courage to expose chi-
canery and fraud ? The writer was alad to see
ia your columns a remonstrance against the out-
rage committed by the Common Council in recently
votins to a sectarian church rights and privileges
they had no moral right to give. It it not time that
the American people, and all those who have made
this land their home, should' rise up and stop such
vile prostitution of the power to which they were
elected, or rather "counted in."
Tbe Boman Catholic Churph is said to bold fifty
millions of property in this City. Where and how
did they get it? A Koman Catholic Common
Council gave (!) them the ground on which their
boasted cathedral stands, and* tho very valuable
block ot land just north of it on Fifth avenue. They
have remitted assessments and taxes, and in in-
numerable iustances conveyed to that Church the
property of the people amounting in value to ten,
aud perhaps twenty millions ef dollars. The Rom-
ish Church is oeautifully consistent. It makes a
terrible outcry because Roman Catholics have to
p«.r for non-sectariau schools fur tbe benefit of all
the people, while it takes without compunction
the property of others, that a Roman Catholic Com-
mon Council, or a partisan Legislature may "crib "
for them. ONE OF THE VICTIMIZED.
A "RIGHTEOUS JUDGE."
To the Editor of the New- York Timea .-
The following, which formed a part of your
New-Orleans dispatch in to-day's Times, recalls a
conversation that I had a day or two since with a
prominent Baltimorean ;
"The Democrats iQtii^ated that a coaut of actual
votes cast would sati.rfy tbe country at large, and
the conference was invited with a view of securing
such a canvass. Gav. Carroll is in favor of such a
couut, as tbey had it in Maryland."
My Baltimore friend, who is a man of intelligence
and position, is heartily in favor of tbe payment of
the rebel war claims, an'd, af course, desires te see
Tilden in the Presidential chair. Discussing the
departure of Northern politicians for New-Orleans,
he pronounced it a good way to fool the people ;
"but," said be, ^'it is in reality a stupendous farce.
Look at the man who represents MarTland in tho
' effort for an honest count' — Gev. Carroll!. He is a
nice fellow enough, but I know absolutely that no
less than ten thousand fraudulent votes were cast
for him in Baltimere when be was made Gov-
ernor. It is a matter of notorious record
that such was the case ; but the courts, the Police
aud every other source of power, in the absence of
Federal restraint, helped tho fraud to achieve suc-
cess. There was not only the most barefaced in-
timidation of legal voters, but tbe ballot-boxes were
stuffed at wholesale. In one polling district, to my
certain knowledge, ever eighteen hundred Carroll
ballots were found in tbejuox, when there are not
mure than seven hundred voters iu the district all
told. We thought that particular case so flagrant
and unnecessarily outrageous, that 1.000 of the bal-
lots wore destroyed before tbe count."
Mv informant, who is a good merchant, and I
think a church member, appeared to consider the
transaction be referred to perfectly wariantable.
but tho idea of entrusting the work of securing the
purity of the ballot in Louisiana through Gov.
Carroll, of Maryland, was too ludicrous for eyon
him. ' MERCHANT.

FOREWARXED, FOREARMED.
To the Editor of the New- York Timet:
Knowing what a deej) interest you take in
everytbiDg connected with the present crisis in na-
tional affairs, I deem it of imporiance to send you
the following interview with ex-Governor, and now
Uuitsd States Senator, W. Pinckney Whyte,' ot
Maryland. It is taken from the local columns of
the Baltimore Sun of Nov. 13 inst. :
'Gov. Whyte, in couversation about the invitation to
himself in connection with the Florida matter, ss^s
he is confi:teul. that Mr. Tildeu has carriod Louisiana
and I'lorida, and prodablv South Carolina, aud that iu
spite of the Uetuunin'^ 8',>ar(is tho votes for Mr. Tilden
iu those States Will be counted tor him. The votKS of
such electors will brf cerclried to tho l^resiiient ot the
Senate, and copies will also be sent to tho Sunators.
When tho heuaie and Housa sit together to count the
votes iu February, one teller will be appointed by the
Senate, ami two by tho House, who will count and de-
clare the voci'S as tlie.v are handed to them uy the
Vice President. [Should tho Vice President docli.ie to
produce the certificates in favorof -Mr. Tilden, aHeiiator
may produce coifit's of them and move that the votes
be' CO uu ted. The Vice President ma.y nlao deelino to
Eut this motion to the joint convention of the two
i.uses, in which ease the tellers will be asked to put
tho motlou to a vote. As two of the tellers will be
Deinociats and one a Repuolican, a majority of theu
can decide as to the propriety of puttiu a the motion,
and as tho Democratic majority iu the House is large
enough to control the joiut conveutiou,it is plain that
the votfs of all tho Slates that are reaily cast for Mr.
Tilden may thus be counted. Should the Senate with-
draw and decline to count these votes, the matter will
go to the House of Kepreseutatives foe decision, as In a
case of atailure to elect bv the people. In that event,
of courae. Mr. Tilden would be elected President of the
United States."
So far as the belief of Mr. Whyte is concerned in
Mr. Tilden having carriod the States of Lousiana,
Florida, and South Carolina, I have no comments
to make. But I call particular uttentien to that
part of the interview iu which he says, " That, in
Bpite of the Kdturniug Boards, the vote for Mr.
Tilden will be counted for him." Ke spsaks not as
a constitutional lawyer, but as a politician who has
alroadv floured out the moaus or metliod to be pur-
sued by the Democratio Party, in couniing the
electoral votes. Ho kuow3 there is no hiw to fur-
nish each of the Senators with a cooy of the elec-
toral votes, and that neither the Senate nor the
House have anything to do with countinc tho
vote, except under tho provision of the twelfth arcicle
of tlie Araendmouta to the Constitution. This
article does hot direct the Senati; or tho House to
apooint tellers, and tellers oannjt be appointed ex-
cept by the separate or concurrent action of both
bodiuM — each acting for itseli. Iu the absence of
such concurrent, not JOIXT action, there is no iiower
under the Constitution to count the electoral voters,
except the President of the Senate, who is aloua
authorized to '• open all the certilicates " , iu tho
^ jresonco of the Si'uate and House.
Senator Wbyte's idea of a joint convention of the
two houses is aoparent. Ho discloses it when ho
says "the Democratic majority in the House is
large euoush to control the joint convention."
Suoh undoubtedly would be the tact, and the Dem-
ocratic members would most likely "produce the
certificates in favor of Mr. Tlldou's election," and, in
spite of the provisions of the Oenstitution to the .
.contrary.' count him in. "' .,v »'

A STATUK TO ALEXANDRE HAMILTON.
To the Editor of the New-York IHmes:
I very heartily approve of your views, con-
tained in your issue of the 12Lh inst., iu reference
to a statue to Alexander Hamilton. The question
is often persistently asked, why i« it, that a statue
18 put up by tbe citizens of Ne w-York to W illlam
H. Seward, and none has bean erected to such men
as Alexander Hamilton, or Do Witt Clinton. The
reason is very plain. It ia not because cho intell i-
gent people of New York do not appreciate the two
last named statesmen — but simply this — there is
n» one man, or two or a dozen of men, to interest
themselves earnestly, coUsct the money and get
the sculptor to do the work.
In the case of Mr. Seward's statue, the mone^j
was all, collected by one gentleman, Mr. Kicbard
Schell, of this City, ^ho simply got 250 checks of
$100 each, and then.e'ngaged Mr. Randolph Rogers
to execute the work, and we see the result in a
magnificent statue in Madison square. And, as I
am informed, we are indebted to the exertions of
the late Gen. James Lee for the splendid equestrian
statue of Washington in Union square. He pre.
vailed upon twenty-flve of our pabllcapirited citi-
zens te subscribe jl.OCO each and the work was
done.
It is, therafore, not pu'olic sentiment that always
erects public statues, nor it it sueh sentiment
wfiich selects the sculptor. It is simply the work
of one or two active and InflusBtial persons. The
money was raised for the Seward statue long befere
tbe public knew anything about what was to be done.
Since the death of Horace Greeley, an association
was formed for the purpose of raising funds to erect
a monument to him In Central Park, and I have
been informed that some twelve or fifteen thousand
dollars had been paid in or promised, but this, like
the Irving and the Farragut enterorises, bas passed
out of the public mind. The Washington monu-
ment at Washington City, is another example of
the folly of trying to collect- a large sum in small
amounts. But all these are .cast into the
shade by the national failure to erect
the great Yorktown monument. Chief Justice
Marshall tells us that Congress ordered that
a marble column should be erected at Yorktown,
commemorative of the victory of Wasblncrton ;
also one to Count de Rochambeau and one to Count
de Grasse, neither one of which, after the lapse of
nearly one hundred years, has ever been attempted.
Fully appreciating, as New-Yorkers do, the ap-
propriateness ot having a statue .to the memory of
Alexander Hamilton— the confidential friend and
adviser of the illustrious Washington -the one
who of all men most clearly represented his char-
acter, principle, and lotty integrity, and the man
who unquestionably was the most prefaund scates-
mau ana the greatest intellect whieh the eountry
ever produced, it ia a disgrace to this City that no
siatae worthy of this wonderful maa is here to be
seen. That there is the talent to produce it there
cau be no question.
Ward ia the sculptor of Shakespeare, Commo-
dore Perry, Gen. Reynolds, and the "Indian Hunt-
er."
, Macdonald of Washington Irving, Washington,
(from the Houdon bust,) Edward Bates, Gon. Lyen,
and Fitz Greene Hallecl:.
Brown of the equestrian statues of Washington
and Soott, and Lincoln. '
Palmer of Livingstone, the "White Captive," and
a number of ideal works.
Thompson of Napoleon, Gen. Sedgwick, (at West
Point.) and Scott (atj Washington City, a pedestrian '
figure.)
These sculptors are all first-class artists, and well
known as the authors of splendid and successful
works. Their studios are all m or near New-York.
The A'uerican first-class sculptors in Rome and
Florence are Rogers and Park, of New- York ; Ives,
of Hartford; Brackett, of Connecticut ; Gould and
Ball, of Boston; Simmons, of Rhode Island; and
Hart, of Lexington, Ky. Not one of these gentle-
men but would produce a magnificent work of art.
Tbe results I therefore arrive at are these :
1. It is not public sentiment nor uncertain sub-
scription in small amounts nor acts of legislation,
not even those of Congress itself, which erects stat-
ues, but the efforts ot one or two earnest workers.
2. When enterprises of this nature are begun on
small, uncertain amounts, dependent on tbe ca-
prices and whims of tbe people at large, tkey, gen-
erally speaking, have failed.
3. A statue to Hamiltsn (or any other person) can
be erected if soaie eflScient, zealous, aad competent
person will interest himself and raise the necessary
funds.
4. There is generally great enthusiasm mani-
fested by the friends and aamirers of the deceased
immediately after death, but as time rolls on this
feelinjf becomes very cold.
5. Xha whole ameuut needed sbould be first col-
lected and the sculptor then agreed upon.
6. If the squares of thia City were well supplied
with statues (deserving the name) ot the great men
of the Republic, tbey would not only be an admired
and a lasting source of enjoyment and pride te the
residents ot this City, but they would be a great in-
ducement for nil travelers to visit our City, and ad-
mire the works, and in a pecuniary point of view,
an item which so largely enters into the American
mind, much money would find its way into our
hands. Will not some earnest worker take this
matter in charge ? C. G. G. "'

GERMAN INTERPRETERS OF SHAKESPEARE,
To the Editor of the Neia- York Times :
A short time ago Mr. Hermann Linde gave a
seiies of Shakespearean readings at Stein way Hall.
As they were delivered in German, these lectures
C.id not receive on the pan of the American public
the attention which they doubtless merited, consid-
sidering the remarkable talents of the lecturer ;
nevertheless, they were frequented and enjoyed by
many who are familiar with the German language.
They were particularly well attended by tbe edu-
cated and iutelligent portion of our Teutonic,
brethren, a fact sufficiently striking to any one who
had hitherto been acquainted onl.v with the preju-
dices and sometimes narrow views 'of the Germans
on the superior exeelloDce of their own national
art, science, poetry, &c.
f One thing, however, the Germans uudoubt^ly
have a right to be particularl.y proud of. I refsr
to their familiarity with many of the best authjxTs
of other nations, which familiarity iu the case of
Shakespeare, even goes so far as to claim him, in a
metaphorical way, as one of their countrymen. It
is due to the many exeelleut translations of his
writings which have appeared since about the mid-
dle of the last century, aud to which new ones are
continually being added. Lsssing was an enthusias-
tic admirer ot Shakespeare, and Wieland translated
twenty-two of his dramas, either wholly or in part.
The translation of all the most important plays, in
nine volumes, by August Wilhelm von Schlegol.
(1767-1845.) is certainly one of the greatest achiove-
meuts in the entire realm of reproduetivo pootry.
The expositors of the English poet are numerous,
and thoy include some of JUe Dost talent iu Ger-
many; snch men as Gervinas, Dalius, Devrieut,
aud many others of literary fame. The excellence,
in short, of these translations, the talent, zeal, an d
scholarship which were brought to bear on difiioult
»r recondite passages in order to exolain their
meaning, have made of Shakespeare lo the Gor-
man people a national poet.
In aceordancB with this all but universal popu-
larity of Shakespeare, and tho growing number of
translations aud commentaries ou the original test,
the interest in the performance of his plays on the
stage, or in the recitation of them by so-called "re-
citers," or lecturers, la increasing. Recitation, in
this sense, is s, branch of uramatio art which has
but lately been revived; tho lecturir, who must
know the entire piece well by hsart, lecitea it from
memory, varying his voice according to the char-
acters, and accompanying the text by gestures —
not acting in the cheataical sense exactly, for this
he rather avoida — but by iiestures, ludicaciveof the
emotions, thoughts, or actions of the chaiacters in
the piece. In this manner, a well-delivered reci-
tation beco»es an excellent substitute for the
stage, aud is vastly superior to auy mere silent
reauing of a play liy one's self.
Unhappily, the art of recitation, requiring, as it
does, astreugthof memory not trequeaiiy possesseil,
and a mastorv of tbe subiect which, as regards the
drama, it is ftlmost Impossiljlo to find complete in
any one person, bas only of late been fusterod in
Europe to aii,y ai»pro(:iable extent. I have already
referred to Air. Hermann Liniie. an artist of the
new school, who, as an luteryrcter of tDliakespearo.
bas rapiMly acquired au extensive roputanou. As
ho recites all tue iilay.s of Shakesyearo without tlie
help of a book or of notes, wholly from uiemory, the
mere mechanical ailUculties thai hai to be over-
Cjuie can hardly bo CJiiceived. It would bo cou-iid-
eied quite a wondiM'tui i'six^, 1 think lor any person
to recite entirely from memory oven a sinsjie one of
Shakespeare's tiagedies. Mr. Linde docs much
more than this; ho recites tlienu all fioni mainory,
aud tho dramas and comedies of Suali0.spearo
besides, aud I nave never ku«wu hiin to fail in tho
performauco of his ta.sk. He is. moreover, a very
good actor, hiindsonio' and maul.v, and his Voice
possesses rare power and volume. It iias been af-
firmed that men v.iU never be capable of immitat-
iug the female voice, and it must be allowed that
thii is a very serious nifflculiy ; neverlhelesa,
I thiufe Linde's porforniaoces iu this respect very
satisfactory, as. for iDstauco, the dialOi;uo between

THE MERRIMENT OF THE MEDOC COUNTRY-

From, the London Telegrofih.
Ulysses was fully convinced of the weakness
of human nature when he orderei bis compan-
ions to be temporarily deafened, and ar-
ranged that he should be lashed to the mast of
his ship, as they passed the pleasant land where
the Sirens sat sirglng on the sea beach.
Some such desperate remedies as these are
needed when a traveler from home, having
rested at the vmeyards of Champagne, proposes
to journey on to the grape-fields of Bordeaux.
No siren voloe could have sounded " more pleas-
antly to the ears of an Eoglishman than did
the hospitable welcome of Kelms and its neigh-
borhood. It was suoh a thorough chanse from
tbe clinging rain mists of London to the brightly
colored October landscape of France; there was
80 much to de, and there were so many gay pic-
tures to be losked at, from the moment that the
vendangeurs entered the leafy ayenues at day-
break to the evening hour when th«y sought tho
villages and enjoyed a dance at the bumble caba-
ret; there wero so many erpeditions to be tasen
from one vineyard to the other, first to the wine-
presses'of Ay, and then to the manufactories at
Epernay ; there seemed so many varieties in the
curious art ot champasne making, and there were
so many ei^antio store-houses of tilled bottles
made by. Clicquot, Msijt, or Gsulet, that
it seemed a little ungrateful to repW, "No
more champagne, thank you, ,but 1 shonlu
like a glass of claret." It was my fate
to hurry en without drawing rein from the pleas-
ant activity ot sparkling Reims to the merriment
of the Medoc country. There was no time tone
lost; for althsush there were wild boars to be
hunted tin the forests everhanginsr Rilly la Mon-
tague, and both bares and partridges to be tempiei
from the cities of refuge prepared for them by law'
among the vines ; still the news came up frem Bor-
deaux that the vendange was almost over, that in
many ef the Medoc vineyards the grapes were
already gathered, and that if any of the vintago
ceremonies in conaection with Chateau Lafltte.
Chateau Margaux. St, Julien, La Rose.
L6i>Yille, or the white wine disiriets of Sau-
terne and CbAteau Yqaem, were to be duly noted,
there was certainly some risk iu lingering longer
over the champagne. A change' further south
luckily did not briug with it any alteration of the
glorious Autumn weather. The passengers m the
express night mail between Paris aai Bordeaux
might well have Imagined they were traveling in
Italy in Midsummer; and when theySawthe early
sun lighting UP the fields of grapes lying between
the railway and tne river, and the leaves scarcely
changed into yellow or red, Why, then the prospect
looked bright enangh, and in a certain sen*e, la my
own case, carried away some of the disa)ipointment
ol an abrupt departure from the champagne country,
Tbe landscape round and about Bordeaux at the
time of the graoe-plucking is as different from that
at Reims as is the manutacture ef claret and cham-
pagne. No longer are th» vine-brancbea seen
trailed about short gray sticks ; they grow hightir,
they aro more bush.y, and they- are trained en cor-
don, a system which, by the by, is gradually being
iniroducea in the cnampagne country with some
success. Here lu the Medoc district the wine is lor
the most part made, and is in many cases bottled
fsr the market, on the estate on which it lo grown,
and the great ana vital qaestiun of a " good year"
at a particular Yineyard is. necessarily, of the
greatest possible consequence to the drinker
of the best red and white wines — of CbA-
tean Lafitte and Chateau Tqvtemx for in-
stance. When discussing the mannfacture of
champagne, I endeavored to hint at the delicate art
which mixes the products and amalgamates the
juices of various tracts of land, and I set forth how
the manufacturer buys yyith the greatest care and
works with consummate judgment. But uu such
system obtains in Bordeaux. Tbe particular wine
we like, whether it be Margaux, L6oville, or the
far-famed Gruaud la Ruse of Baron Sarget, is ma4a
from the grapes grown on the estates which bear
these names, and the wine of the year is determined
not 80 much by art as by nature. There is a latent
idea in the mind of the public that tbe liquor from
these magnificent cru^ must always lie super-excel-
lent year alter year aud season after season, no
matter >what t^e weather has been or what tbe
ebaracter of the harvest. There is a general im-
pression that to call for a battle of Chateau Mar-
gaux, Chateau Lafltte, or Cbitean de la Tour — the
three premiires crus in the Medoc district — means
the absolute certainty of obtaining something quite
out of the common. And so it is as a general rule.
The sOil ou which these wines are grown is so mag-
nificent that it seldom disappoints us. But it is
your confidential adviser or wine merchant who can
alone be depended on for telling you exactly which
is the best wine and tbe best year for it in this
gioi-ious district so highly favored by naturw.
As a matter of fact, we io not think nearly so
much about the year as we do about the vine-
yard whioh produces our favorite clarets.
There is an old saying in France, Which is a
very true one, that " the celebrated wines of bad
years are like the tnauvaU »ujets of great families —
they cost a very great deal more than they are worth."
The art of the maker of, first-class ohampagae is to
select tbe best grapes be can get, aud to make them
into the best possible wine; but the manufacturer ot
first-class claret uses only and solely. the grapes from
one vineyard for the manutacture of what is identi-
fied by the name of that locality. Tbe connoisseur
here steps iu in tbe term of a merchant who is able
to recommend the wine which is tho most success-
ful of the year. To say what the best claret of 1876
will be like at this moment is a matter ot the most
presumptuous guesswork, for no one knows
certainly anything whatever on the subiect.
The old story told so often at Reims ia repeated
at Bordeaux, to the effect that up to the latter end
01 August overy one expected a repetition of the
famous vintage of 1874, whieh gave so much bouquet
and glorious flavor to the clarets of M6doc and such
sweetness to tho white wines ef the Sauteme and
Barsac countries. But a damp apd cold September
upset all the early calculations, and just now at
Bordeaux the learned people are ruefully shaking
their heads. At the moment of writing the grape-
juice is fermenting in tbe cuvies erected in the ehais
attached to each vineyard. The fruit has beeii
gathered, and it bas been fouod that, unlike the
I'esult of the champagne growth, the quantity
has fallen very far short of last year. Some dis-
tricts have not produced half their accustomed
yield, and nearly all are more or less wanting. On
the Bubjeot of quality the knowing ones are in-
clined to postpone their opinions, and to be suspi-
cions when they are told that all will bo well ; but
ou this point it is searcely possible to form an idea
until the wine in the vats has cooled down, and is
in a state te be gently drawn off' into barrels, there
to be ripened and perfected for the table. Oaly a '
very far-seeing prophet or a critic of acute percep-
tion ouuld pronounce judgment on the warm thick
liquor which is ocoasionally taken from the cuve
and anxiously scanned.
Few cities in France can boast of snch picturesque
surroundings as Bordeaux, which, although stnotl.y
a stronghold of trade, bas many artistio and grace-,
ful features whioh would certainly eommend them-
selves to the refined taste of a cultivated man like
Mr. Po.ynter, who has raised his voice to protest
against, the desecration of cities of commerce.
Bordeaux, with its lively quays and smiling river,
its nnoieut gates and glorious churches, its impos-
ing buildings and air of sheerful prosperity, is. suf-
flciiently attractive even to those who maintaia
theie is but ono city in all Frauce— Paris. But at
this time of the year, when we go beyond the
walls, and see them ' collectinjf the grape
harvest m the long and lovel.v vine.yards
on either side of the river— -when there is lile and.
activity both iu the red wine and white wine dis-
tricts—when proprietors and vendangeurs are hard
at worlf, directing in the Banuluctery or tolling
under the burning sun — it would be difficult to se-
lect a brighter moment for a visit to the neighbor-
hood of Bcrdeaux. If I were asked to give my ad-
vice, I weuld recommend to anyone desiring a clear
knowledge of tho claret process fr.im the moment
the bunches are gathered to the time the glorious
wine is shipped, either in bottle or cask, au eariy
visit to one of the .splendid collars owned b.ythe
merchants or the gay city. Take, for instaaoe, the
celebrated chais of Messrs. Jouruu Fr6ies, down
by tbe water's edge, where the vessels are wailing
to bear tho claret away to all parls ot the world.
Here yen will find stored, in barrel and bottle,
selections from the best years of tho great wines
of the Medoc district. It must once more be im-
pressed unou the reaaer^that the claret drawn from
tbe grapes grown on such and such aii estate is
made actually on tho vineyard, and it most again
be stated that there are owners who complete aud
finish for the market the wine grown upou their
own property, lii laot, at a model vineyard like
the Gruaud la Rose, owned by Barcm Sarget,
which is so interesiinu that 1 propose to de-
Hcribo it at greater len^jth ou auether occasion, the
grapes are pricked, prossed, the wiue is made,
and eventually shipped lor the market or for
private use, all without the intervention of
anybody. ISut such casei as these ars exceptional,
and DO more interesiiug example of the orlhedox
system ot trade in claret could be given than on the
establishment of such a firm as that ot the Messrs.
JouiuB, For hero it will be seen that, the merchant
has otlier and higher duties thau the mere nianage-
ineut of entrances and exits of Cislss or wine 011

tho world. In these cellars will be seen the judi-
cious selections.from various vineyards duriuii many
yeai-s. Here will be found the judgmeut which bas

tages of Medoc, and ; will eventually iusiruct the
public as to the proiler value of the great wines of

lEEBIBLE EXPLOSION OF POWDER.
AN ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A WRECK IN CAL-
CDTTA HARBOR— EXPLOSION OF 2,000
. POUNDS or POWDER— A SERGEANT OF
BNGINEBRS AND EIGHT NATIVES BLOWN
TO PIECES.
A correspondent of the London Times writes
from Calcutta, Oct. 6, as foUowft: "Last Wednes-
day, the first working day after the twelve days'
elose holiday of the Doorga Poojah, and just as the
people of Calcutta were beginning to settle down to
business again, they were startled by the noise of
an explosion, apparently coming from the river,
and which was distinctly heard all over the town.
A thick cloud of black smoke rising from
among the shipping made it clear that some
terrible accident had happened. In a few
minutes a large crowd had collected on the
Strand, and a number of rumors begkn to circulate
as to the nature of the explosion and the loss of life.
We have not yet got any very full or satisfactory
account of what occurred ; but the facts, so tar as
thev are known, are these: About a^year ago a ship
called the British Viceroy sank in the Hooghly
within a stone-throw of the shore, and close to the
most frequented streets of the business part of the
town. Such of your readers as know Calcutta will
at once recognize the locality when I say that it is
directly opposite to tbe Metcalfe Hall and the ice-
house. Attempts were lately made to blow
tb« wreck up, as it impeded the navi-
gation, and tor this purpose a Government
torpedo-boat was anchored on the spot. The first
trial, on Monda.v, was a failure, and on Wednesday
active preparations were oeing made for a second
attempt. On that afternoon the boat, which was
under the charge of Sergt. Harrison, of the Royal
Engineers, seems to have had 2,000 pounds ot gun-
powder on board. About 2 P. M. Harrison was
olosing an iron ease containing about two hundred
pounds of powder whicb^ was to be put into the
wreek. He was seen haiamering In a wooden
pfug, with a fuse passing through it, and
accounts differ as to whether he was
using an iron or a copper hammer. After
fixing the plug he called to one of tbe na-
tive crew to bring him Blome melted wax. The wax
was melted in a jolljj-boat alongside, and was
handed to Harrison in the iron spoon in which
it had been heated, whereupon he poUred it over
the plug, and called t^f ice tor more. On the tbira
occasion of its being brought to him the spoon was,
according to tbe testimony of the' man who
melted the wax, very hot. Almost at that moment
came the explosion, whether caused by the spoon
having come in contact with some powder, or by
some other means, it is. difficult to say. The tor-
pedo-boat sank at once, and as it has not yet been
raised, it is a matter of doubt whether the explosion
was confined to the one barrel or extended to the
greater part~bf tbe eargo. I say tbe greater part,
because it is certain that one 2U0-ponn(l barrel did
not explode, as It was found lying on the
Strand road some distance away. No trace
has heen found of Sergt. Harrison, and there
can be little doubt that he was blOwn to
atoms. There were with him in the torpedo
boat twelve natives, ot whom eight are not ac-
counted for. The remaining four are more or less
severely injured. A portion otti human trunk was
discovered lying in the garden of the Metcalfe Hall.
A head was blown into Hare street, and several
limbs and otber portioas of bodies were scattered
along tbeiStrand road and adjoining streets. Some
persons on shore and in neighboring boats were
hurt by fragments ot the torpedo-boat. Almost
all the windows of the houses near tbe scene of the
accident were broken, but. strange to say, there:
seems to have been no further damage to property,
anU the ships in the river have apparently'
escaped all injury. The loss of life appears to have
been cooflned to Sergt. Harrison and eight of the-
crew of the torpedo-boat. Laventabie as this un-^
doubtedly ia, it is yet a matter for congratulation
that, in a crowded liver, like the Hoo^ghlv, the ex-
plosion did not do infiaitely more mischief. That a
large cask of gunpowder should have exploded in a
harbor full of shiyping and within 200 yards of a
tbicklyipopulated quarter of the town, is in itself
strong prima facie proof of there having been gross
carelessness somewhere — probably en the part of
poor Harrison, who paid tbe penalty with his life.
Meanwhile the Inquiry is jprogressing, but it iS;
hardly likely that much more llgbt will be thrown,
upon the cause ot the accident, seeing that most of
the witnesses were either blown up or drowned." : «'

From the Manchetier Examiner.
Dr. Waters, of the Bombay < Army, has done
a bold and adveatnrous deed whieh ; entitles him to
rank as a eelebrated rider only second to Mr. ; Mao-
Gahan and Capt. Burnaby,' the heroes of two equally
remarkable journeys to Khiva, r Dr. i Waters, while '
stationed at Bushire, obtained three, months' leave,
and he resolved to use it' in the uioar^manaer ' by
visiting England, but ^ he ^ determined .. to i vary
the monotoueus record of pother travelers tbome-
wacd by going < overland ' ail the way '^ across
Persia,* Ruasia, and tho - Continent, nBtil*
he reached the shores 'Opposite our "tight
nt tie island." He rode first of all through (Persia
to the borders of tbe Caspian — a distance of nearly
one thousand miles — in fourteen days, thus making
au average rate of progress .amounting te seventy
miles a day. The work was made one of enormous
difficulty by the wretchea state ot the roads, which
were se bad in some places that only twenty-six
miles a day eould be accomplished; but as an ex-'
ample of his method of making up for lost time, ,
It may be mentioned that on one day, as he-
.drew near tbe Caspian, he covered ', 150 miles,
and followed that up on the.. next ^ day by a
journey of 100 xailes. Once / on the Caspian,'
his progress was made easier. "■ He took boat to
Baku, thence to Astrakhan, and fromUheroito
Czaritzeu on tho Volga, where be took ' train to
Warsaw, and afterward went by Berlin to Calais .
and London. Alter a short sojourn in this country,'
he started baek on a journey no less adrenturoos.
He wknt first to Alexandria, from there to Beyront, '
auA ou to Damasous, froai which point, he struck -
out, still rldiag, en a route which had only been at '
tempted by two Europeans Defore t him — i. • «.,'
straight across the great Syrian Desert
to Bagdad, after i whieh his return to Bushire was
comparatively easy. To have completed this ex-,
•iraordinary journey within three months, ■ from ;
whioh a month spent in Eagland has to De deduct-
ed, required a obmbiaatiou of qualities of a very
high order. ' The man meeded t»Tee a good rider, to";
have great powers of endurance and a large stock-
of courage; and' all these, it is evident. Dr.,'
Waters possesses. ^ It is • interesting to find'
that though the '^ gallant j" traveler oarriea a
flask ot brandy, he made 'limited use of the
stimnlant, for he says that he only used half a.
small fiaskful lu a ride of nine hundred miles. Oae
of the most astonishiug cireumstances about tbe
feat is the smallness of the cost of tbe westward,
journey. Dr. Waters had a horse to start with,"^
but he was ' obliged to hire a good deal iu Persia.
This item ef expense amounted, at a rate of about
seven-pence a mile for two horses, to C80 Persian
krauK, or a little under £27. Erom Ensoli
ou the Caspian to Czaritzeu, first-class
by steamer. was '- fifty-five roubles, and
the fare from there by rail through Warsaw
to Berlin, 70 roubles; or altogether, &16 3». 4d.
Prom Bsrliu to Loudon cost £8 ; se that the whole
outlay fr«m Bushire to Eugland, including. Dr.
Watsrs says, a li Serai margin for ineidental ex-
penses, did not exceed £50. The cost ef traveling
Detween lUe same points by sea is given as £106 —
that is, S,i6 from Bushire to Bombay, and £80 troa
Bombav to England via Brindisi. The route of Dr.
Waters has therefore an economical advantage ;
but that, be says, is nothing compared with tbe
charming- novelty, the varying beauty, and the
hisrorioai and coiiLical interest of the journey aeross
Persia and thence by the Caspian to the banks of
the Volga. ^

it must have £40,000. The town aad tbal

refused the request. The local Jews iuve beeo ap
plied to, but as the numerous sergbis, or ordet*
upon the departments held by them are faardlj mi
gotiable at any price, they too have refused. Thenooi
peasants of the neighborhood have been ■qtaeesMTna
til It has beeome hopoleMto get any thing more ont«
them. The Qovernor is io despair bow te get tlM
money. I naturally asked of my many inCemaiitt
—for thi>,-after tne war and tbe protpeet ot •
new Damaecns massaore, waa tbe chief anb-
ject of conversation — what the money was wanted
tor. From every source the same answer wai
given. It is to bribe the Bedctda chiefs to alloir
the caravans to paaa in safety. In other words, ii
is to pay black-mail. One who knows Syria wdi
told me that lu some of the Arab tribes the- tMat]
dowry t|Tomised by tbe husband to the wife <m mac .
riage was what he coald steal or beg the next
xime the Sultan's oaravan passed on lie way ti
Mecca.
I have already alluded to tbe dread of anotbet
massacre which is telt in Damascus. I may aaj
at ance that I don't believe there is ,any imiBft'
diate danger. Several well-informed Earopeai
officials told me that tbe Christians have lived ioi
vears in perpetual fear, and that tbey oo set
observe that Sfoslem fanaticism, bad thoogblti^
Is worse now than it has been for many yeara,
But tbe recollection of tbe deeds of sixteen yean
ago, when so many lives of an innocent, indostxlt
one, defenseless, and small minority were tannfieed
to Moslem fanaticism, makes the people .feet aa mea
do who live In a powder magazme. Let it be said
in passing, however, that Arab fanaticism aboweA
to advantage as against Turkish fanatioiem ia
Bulgaria. Ko children were killed ; few wome*
killed, lew violated. I write caret ally when I saj .
that It is by no means clear thu the Turkia) '
Government has not been tr3rinK daring the bwt
few weeks to arouse Moslem fanatioiam i|
Damascus. The statement of a Consul resident fa
the city that the Government bad been pottiag oiq
feelers to see whether the Moslem nopolatioe
would rise lias, I believe, good groanda. . This moeb
is certain, that while the Governmenk will not al>
low, any thing like political telegram* to reach tbe
residents, it had itself put out a statement on
or about the 6th of October which caused very
great alarm among the Christiana. One Coa\
sul told me that it was to the effect that Ser>
Via had broken the armistice, had martyred 8^<W
Mohammedaas, was aavancing to ConsUmtiaopiey
and that therefore all Moslems ought at ones to go -^
and fight the giaoors. Two others agreed that
the aocament certainly spoke of those lulled aa
martyrs for Mohammedanism. One of th^ de<
clared that it was a distinct appeal to Moslem ft.
naticlsm, tbe object being, as he believed, not to
provoke an actual outbreak, but to create -^
feeling which tbe Government would be able t<
refer to. and to have reported upon by tb^ Coo* *
suls, to the effect that if any oonceesiiHis were made
to the Christians in Europe tbe Government emUft
not be responsible for an outbreak in Syria, how«
ever much tbey might regret it. The other Consal
told me that he believed its object was of a diftereat
kind. The Governor wants money, aa I
have said, for tbe pilgrimage. By pretending tbat
Iheremust be a new call u^n the Moslems to
go to the war, ., he hoped to get in a
considerable rum of anbstitution money,,'
Ail, however, agreed that the proclamation wa%
purely mischievouB. Unfortunately none of them
had been able to oDtain a oopy. It must be aaid to
the credit of the Arab Moslems of Damaseas, who
hate and despise tbe Turks, that all the copies were
torn down a short time after they had been pat up,
one Arab of great influence saying, in the preaepof
of a Consalar cavass, as he tore it down, "We us
not going to have mischief made In that way."
I was informed in Damascus bv one of the Con<
aula, who knows the place well, that some ot the
leaders in the massacre are now holalag sitaaiioai

promised reform hasf remained a dead letter. • For,
in truth, the evil is'anfinourableone. The Turk
believes .that bis Koran teaches bim to exolndi
Christian; evidence, and the dream that be wiB
willingly admit it in places when he is awayfreai
European eontrol is as idle as to suppose that he will
give up that other religions belief which maJces it
impossible for a Msslem to regard tbe Christian «(
'an equal.' At Damascus .the difficulty ot doia^
justice to a Christian, when there is legal proeeas
between him and a Turk, is to some extent got
over. Near the door ! of the court of jnstioe stt ^
number of Turks, who are reafly lor a bribe to helg
the Christian out of his diffiealty. In other words,
they sit there and gain a living by being suberneq
to perjure themselves. Tell them what they bav^
to swear, and they will swesr it in tbe name of
''Allah and his Prophet. In Damascus, and throngli
out Syrja, one sees on every side evidences of ^
hundred social oppressions which the Chrisfaans
have to endure.'' (ArUtian and ^^ewish women go
about, - as every one knows, covered with a white
sheet, their faeee having over them some Icmd oi}
cloth, which makes recognition impossible. .1 have
spoken to Christian aad to Jewish ladie;; .'< on Tbe
question in various places, and thev all tell 'the
same tale^-v'They wear this winding sheet beeaase
otherwise they would suffer insults from the Torba
wherever they were seea. In Constantinople itsett .
there is scarcely an English lady who has not ^
sometime been vinched 6r inteotionsUy insaltea
by Turkish soldiers while passing through tbeir
streets. But the presence of the Ambassadors anJC '
of Europeans has made it safe there for native

From the Scotsman.
So many persons drink Freueh wine all over
the world that anyihiag which alfects the juice of
tbe grape IS of universal interest. I find tbatm
1S23 there were 2,000,000 hectares (two aud a half
acres each) of vineyard, producing 27,000,000 hec-
tolitrea. (twenty -two and a half imperial gallons
each.) i'rauce" exported thou nearly £2,000,-
000, and imoorted no wines Last year
I'Vance possessed 2,000,000 hectares, which
•>-.ivo 84.000,000 hootolitres. Sbe exported
nearly £14,003,000, and imparted nearly £1,000,000
(«f \yin6 aud braudy. Tho value of the viutage of
17S5 is set down at £100,000.000, whicii ihows a
very moderate average in the price ef wine, but
then all wine is uoi Burgundy, Bordeaux, aad
Champagne. In the departments of tbs Herauli,
Audo. G-ard, Sets., and, in lact, through most of the
south aud tho centre of Prancp, tho wiue i» very
pour, and is consumed directly it ia made by the
peasants. I a year»,when the weather is too dry thej
grapes have too much sugar, the lermeiitatien is bad,'^
aud the wine turns te viuegar. Oa tke other hand, ,
wh^ the weatht-r is too we« thsre is not sugar
enough, and the win«» will uot keep unless warmeu
With alcohol. Before 1864 alcohol thus employed-
paid no duly, but in 1864 a duty of 30 francs ia bee-"
tolilre was imposed, and iu 1371 this amount was
raised to 156 trancs. Tho wine-growers are now;
raising a most doleful cry about the way in whioh ;
they are treated, and the burdens borne by wine, '
which, in fact, is subjected to very onerotu and,,
vexatioua taxation; but then money must be bad'
ia order to cairy on the government of tho eountry,>,

safe
women to appear io ., the streets without a sheet,'
Not oo, however, in ' the Asiatic provinces. lui
doors a lady may be well educated, dressea in
European fashion, having little or nothing
to distinguish her from an , Englishwoman,
Out of doors she .- mu't, • to save her^
self from foul insult, eo disguiee herself that sh^
cannot be distingmslied from a Tnrkish woman.
This disguise is not confined to areas only. X^
hide themselves out of sight is the evident ebiecf
of many of the arrangements' which tne Christian^
and Jews of the interior have to make. During a
week which I spent ih Damascus, nothing struck
roe more ihan tne care taken to conceal the Comi
forts and luxuries of their houses from Turlcut)
eyes. In passing, for example, down the " street
which is called Straight," ar any of tbe narroi^
laaes whieh lead from it, you have to pick youi
wav through filth which i* eqaal to that fonndfj
in "the streets of Jerusalem. The heusea
on each side are tumsle-down andvappa^
rently built of noshing ; but roug)|;
biiolcs daubed over with earth. Tbe streets are
badly paved and lighted. Tbe house.^ project in th^
lanes so far that, without stretching, a man ms^
shake hands from one keuse te the other opposite.
Anything more woe-begone it would be ,difflcutt uj
find. 'X'ot you are in a Christian t or ' a Jewish
quarter. Knock at one of the dirty but stnutg^
looking doors. When it is opened, the passer-b]
can see nothing but a dead wait three o|
four feet from it. Turn . along the ; littli
passage and the change is '.wondeiful. ' Ou^
side was barbarism, with its acoompan?
lug dirt and disaereeables. Inside you have b]
three steps ceme into civilization. - The commoq
type of house consists of a range ot buiidiug^
round an open court^yard. A fountain in the cen,
tre, with orauge or lemen trees oyersbadowmg
\t ; a deep recess, with divans and fbairs ; the
'conrt-yard paved with parti-coloied ms^Wes, anq
an air of cleanliness everywhere are the
characteristic features of the ordinary .fewisB
pr Chrlstiaa hovue. The ladies who make them
appaaranoe are dressed either in European at
Syrian fashions. ■• Their faces are uncovered. TheU
dresses are of costly materials, and if any fault u
to be found with them, it is that tneyareapttq

tWt CAOT FOB THB PROSKCUTION CIX)SED —
TWO .RBPOBUCAN MBMBEBS OF THE
BOABP OK ALDKBMKN VOTING WITH THE
DEMOGBATS.
The trial of City Works Commissioner Fow-
l«r, who is now under sttspenslon ©n charges pre-
ferred by Mayor Sohrosder, was continued vester-
a»y by the Brooklyn Board of Aldermen. In the
wwly part of the trial Gen. Pryor, counsel for
FowI«r, oyeoted to the admission of oeriain testi-
noay on the ground that it ceuld not b« Intro-
flaced accorduag to the rales of eyidenoe unfler the
Mayor's chargefc Mr, De "VTltt, the Corporation
Connael, ni«ed that the charges preferred by the
Mayor, althongh setting forth Fowler's aHeawd be-
ttsyal of the City's interests in detail, could
net be regarded as nuking np a lecal in-
dtetment. The object of the Inves ieation by
the Board of Aldermen was to get at ihe exact
faots in the oa^ie, and in order to reach the end in
•»tew It would be proper te receive all the testimony
oiftred. This view was adopted by the majority of
the board, and in that mnjority were Aldermen
Bumeti and Hill. The Alderman from the First
Ward [Mr. Bnroett] was suspeotea of partiality for
Fowler, and, Indee;!. he was directly charged with
being in favor of acqalttlDg the RiaK Commissioner,
qo matter what eviilenee was adduced against him.
Just before Burnett's renomination, a few days pre-
vious to the last election, he denied the charge, and
bis nomioaiion and election by the Kepuhlicans of
the Firac "Ward foUoweiJ the denial. His action in
the Beard ef Aldermen yesterday has already
shaken the confidence of many of his constituents.
, Of the Other Kepuolioan Alderman whose votff at-
tracted attention yesterday, It may be said
that his candidacy in the Twenty-fifth Ward
lost that ward to the Kepnblioans en election day.
Decent Republicans would not TOte for Alderman
Hill under any oiroumstaaoes. An independent
Bepablioan was nominated, and the result was the
Bleotionof Mr. £aston, the Democratic nominee.
■Hill's vote in favor of Fowler may not have been
Infiaenoed by that fact, but there is a strong suspi-
cion in the minds «f*many that it was.
Owing principally to the action of the two Ee-
pnbtioan Aldermen relerred to, the session of the
board yeatefday was unusually short. The first
witness ecamined was Mr. Justin, Arnold, a con-
tractor of twenty-five years' exporiince. He tesii-
^•d that the excavation of the rftservoii, for which
Kingsley &■ Keeney had been paid flfty-flve
cents a yard, was not worth more tbau
twenty-eieht cents a yard. On cross-examination
Mr. Arnold wUlinaly admitted that he had been
asked to testify by young Mr. Beard, the son of
the contractor, who offered to build the Hemp-
stead Reservoir tor $450,000 less than Kingsley and
Keeney contracted bat failed to build it for. Mr.
fiamuel MeElroy, formerly an engineer in the
■employ of the city, who testified some time ago
that Kingsley and Keeney were not the lowest
■bidders by |34,000, was recalled and swore that he
wrote out the specifications of Mr. Beard's bid.
The witness said that he bad no consultation with
ilr. Schroeder until after he had uurveved the
Hempstead Reservoir this year. The next witness
«xamined was B. V. Morlev, Clerk of the TJnfted
{states District Court, Mr. Morley was called for
the purpose of producing the papers connected
with Fowler's bankruptcy m 1872. Gen. Pryor
ottjeoted to the introduction of tne testimony. He
■aid he and his client were at the merer of the board.
wh« had the physical power to do as it pleased. So
^r the rules of evidence had been set aside in
oondnetlng the investigation, and for that reason be
-hardly thought it wonid be worth ofiering an ob-
jection. But duiing^the investigation he bad heard
OB£4of the Aldermen, in a speech, say that the board
tn ail its dealings with the respondent expected to
have , re£ard for justice. In view of
this fact he wished to ask them
(That had Mr. Fowler's bankruptcy in
1^2, to do with the charges ot malfeasance m
o&oe preferred against him by the Mayor, Mr.
De Witt said it was important to show that Fow-
ler, who was declared a bankrupt in 1872, had a
bank account uf over j6U,000 a year during the
yaars 1873. 1874, 1375, although during those years his
only source of income was the I5.Q00 ■% year salary
be drew from the City as Commissioner of
City Works. ' Alderman Burnett ot the
Fust Ward. »aked that the room be
cleared for discnsaion. The motion was lost bv
■% voce of 7 to 7. Burnett, who had heretofore voted
to admit all the evidence offered, said be was
amazed at Ihe Corporation Counsel's disregard of
law and the rules of evidence. Tne offer of Mr.
De Witt to prove Fowler's bankruDCcy m 1872 and
bis sudden accumulation of wealth in the years im-
mediately subsequent was, he said, an insult to the
intelligence of the board. He would vote against
the admission of the testimony.
Alderman Bowley, of the Seventh Ward, said
that he wished all the evidence thaLbere in any
wav on the case to be given. It was an insult for
the Alderman from the First [Mr. Burnett] to inti-
mate that ibe board could not be trusted wiih all
the evidence. , The motion to admit the evidence in
reference io Fowler's bankruptcy was then put and
lost. Aldermen Bdniett ana Hill, both Republi-
cans, voting with the six Democrats present. Only
Fourteen Aldermen wore present when the vote
was taken. Mr. De Witt then announced that the
case lor the prosecution was closed, and on motion
the board adjourned until next Thursday.

■ The impreasive faneral service ot the Protest

BTBr'tbe reuaios of the late John S. Williams, at
Calvary Cbnrch, comer of Fourth avenue and
Iweaty-first street. The church was crowded with
relatives and friends of the deceased during the
performance of the faneral ntes. The font of the
chancel was filled with rich flowers, the steps o
the sanctuary being dressed with anchorh^
crosses, wreaths, and other floral designs'
The casket containing the remains was borne up
the central a'isle of the church preceded by Rev. Dr.

Hoag. J. J. Crane, S. P. Kash, D. S. Babcock, David
Dows, William S. Peake, Martin Bates, and AV. H.
Webb. Beacbiag the chaneel, the casket was rested
apon trestles in frsut of the altar, and between four
-ihort walnut pedestals crowned with floral crosses
sad anchors. The casket itself was of rosewood,
incased in black clotb, and ornamented with heavy
'silver bandies. The only ornament on the lid, ex-
cepting the heav^ silver inscription plate, was a
. larfee wreath ef ricVly-tintcd leaves. The plate was
engraved with the following inscription :
; John f. WrLLiAMS,
: Born Oct. 8, 18 it, ;
DiediXov. 14. 1876. ;
A^the last vtords of the processional, beginalno'
'•I am the tesurrectlon and the lif» " were pi o-
aeuncsd, and .the casKnt laid en the trestle, the
ehoir chanted the selection fiom the buriai
aervice, beginning, "Lord, let me know
nv end and the number of my days."
When the reading had ended, the choir sapg the
pathetic hymn, " Asleep in Jesus. Blessed Sleep!"
very many of the cuugregatiou weeping during the
singing uf the more toncbmg nasaages. Thb com-
mittment was then read by Rev. Dr. Morgan, and
when tfe had ceased, tne choir chanted the anthem :
" 1 beard a voice from Heaven saying unte me, write,
from beneefortb blessed are the dead, vrhsdiein the
E^rd." As it ended the casket was 1 feed fi'um the
trestle and borne to the vestibule, the chuir meau-
timn singing the recessional hymn: "My Gad, my
Farhe, wlille I stray."' The casket wa') placed upon
a bier in the vestibule that the many fiiuads uf the

BOARD OF OUVNIT OANTASSERS.
The Board of County Canvassers yesterday
resumed the work of counting the votes c&it at the
recent election. All the rettirns from the first four-
teen Assembly districts have already been can-
vassed by the ooard, but they are substantially the
jame as those which were published iuu-iediatoly
afccr the election, and are, Iherefjre, of no publio
^terest now.
ra E DEPARTMENT OF PARKS.
4 Times reporter called on Controller Groen
" yesterday, in relation to the statement of Presi-
dent William B, Martin, published in a morning
Journal, to the effect that the Park Department
was bankrupt owing to the refusal of the Mayor
and Mr. Green to have money appropriated by the
Board of Apportionment for its maintonanoe.
In reply to this statement, the Controller said that
the Board of Auportionment had made an
ample appropriation to the Park Department
for the present year, but that U was
squandered befor^jsuine or tea- months of
the year had expired. By proper man-
agement the amount set apart for the depart-
.^nent would have carried it over the year. But in-
~ of that the Board of Annortinnnaent wasauiked
to transfer certain balances in order to enable the
Park Board to continue the system of extraviiganoe
which had resulted in the exhaustion of their large
annual appropriation three months "before the year
was out. Mr. Green closed by stating that the
Park Board were warned many months since that
if they did not reduce their extravagant oorlay
their appropriation would be exhausted long before
the year expired. It is understood that the matter
will be brought before the Board of Apportionment
at its next meeting.
TffE METHODIST MISSIONS.
CONTINUATION OF THB SESSION OF THB
MISSIONARY COMMITTEE — A LARGE
NUMBER OF APPROPRIATIONS MADE.
The Missionary Committee of the Methodist
Episcopal Church reassembled at 9:30 yesterday
morning in the mission-rooms of the Methodist
Book Concern, Broadway and Eleventh street, and
continued the work of making appropriations to
carry on the missionary labors for the ensuing
year. Bishop Harris presided, aud the religious
exercises were conducted by Rev. Mr. Dix. The
call was resumed where it was suspended the even-
ing previous, and $15,000 was appropriated for the
carrying on of the missionary work m Japan for the
ensuing year, against 817,400 fjr the year previous.
A resolution was adopted empowering the repre-
sentatives of the society in Japan to exchange
property in Tokio for property in Yokohama, pro-
vided they incur no extra expense in so doing.
This completed the appropriations for the carrying
on of the foreign missions. The total amount ap-
propriated to that branch of the work, including
the twenty per cent, exchange, is 8274, 600,^ from
whioh must be deducted $13,300 excess of six
months' extra appropriation to Norway and Sweden,
which will eome out of the collections for the year
beginning Nov, 1, 1877. Last year the aggregate
amount appropriated for the sapport of foreign
missions, including exchange, was $297,749 60,
Bishop Simpson called up the subject of exchange,
saying he bad learned that no such amount was
required for that purpose as had been appropri-
ated— twenty per cent. — and offered a resolution re-
questing the Treasurer of the committee to pre-
pare and present a statement of the rate of ex-
ohange paid during the past year, and what it has
cest to transmit the funds to the yarious missions-
The resolution was adopted.
The call for appropriations was then proceeded
with, and ?23,000 was appropriated to the contin-
gent fund. It was moved and seconded that the
sum of $23,000 be placed to the credit of incidental
expenses, against $20,000 last year, and the motion
was adopted. An appropriation of $14,000 was
made for oflSoe expenses. In place of $18,000 last
year. For the disseminating of missionary in-^
formatioD, last year, $12,000 was appropriated. The
General Conference, held in Baltimore in May
last, ordered the publication of a weekly
Sunday-school paper, provided the Mission-
ary Committee should appropriate $10,000 per
annum for that purpose. The paper to
take the place of the Mt»sionary Advocate. A^pro- •
position was made to appropriate only $2,000 for
the dissemination of missionary information for the
coming year. The proposition was discussed at
considerable leogrh. Mr. Ferry made an eloquent
and earnest appeal in behalf ot the proposed weekly
paper, taking the ground that the proper way to
provide fjr the future support of the missionary
cause was to educate the scholars lu the Sundav-
school.s up to such a standard as will induce them to
give freely and voluntarily. Bishop Ames called
aciention to the fact that tne Methodist Church was
the only ohiu'Ch in the country which had complete
control and supervision of all their pubiicatlona.
Men were employed by the General Conference as
editors, not to air their own peculiar notions or pre-
seot their own peculiar doctrines, but to dufand the
Church and build np the Church and represent the
Church. Fullv a million persons were reached by
the weekly and monthly publications of theChurch,
and these puhlitsations were surety engines of vast
power, and if pioperly conduced capable of tre-
menilous good. ButJie thought it unwise and' im-
practicable to attempt to establish papers lor
special olijects. Such papers always lead a rickety,
sickly life, and then didd an untimely death. It
was finally agreed to suspend the piiblicatioa of the
iiissionary Advocate for the year 1877. and to appro-
priate $2,000 only for the dijsemina ioQ of mission-
ary iuformaiiun ibioagb the usual channel ot Chiirch
publicaliaus.
Appropriations to missions m the Territories of
the United States, to be administered as foreign
missions, were then taken ud, and the sum of $2,000
was granted to Arizona in lieu of $3,000 last year.
Appropriations to the work m New-Mexico were
passed for the time being, and the domestic missions
were taken up. To the Welsh missions in Northern
New- York, last year $150 was aporopriated. This
year they get $100. Tne sum of $500 was last year
apuropriaied to establish a new Swedish Church in
San Francisco and Oakland, Cal., and a missionary
was sent out to take charge of it. Bishop Harris
stated that they had secured the services of a good
man. who was a man with a family, and hefelt com-
pelled to ask for an appropriation of $1,000
for the present year, which was really less
than onght to be appropriated. The re-
quest was complied with, and $1,000 was
appropriated. The Swedish Missions iu Central
Illinois and Minnesota were consolidated as a new
conference, under the name of the North-western
Swedish Csnterence. Last year $6,000 was appro-
priated to tbe.iwo missions. For the present year
they will receive $5,000 only. Two thousand dol-
lars fwas last year appropriated for carrying on
missionary work among the Norwegians in Minne-
sota. This year they receive the same amount,
Last year $200 was appropriated to Danish work iu
the Des Moines (Iowa) Conference. The mission-
ary having since died, no appropriation was made
lor the coming year. For missionary work among
the Swedish population of the Newark Conference
$400 WHS appropriated last year. Pending the dis-
cussion upon this mission, a recess was ordered
until 2 o'clock.
APTEENOON SESSION.
Bishop Foster called the afternoon session to
order at 2 o'clock, and the devotional exercises were
conducted by Rev. Mr. Mitchell. The discussion
of the appropriation for the Swedish work in the
Newark Conference was resumed, and $400 was
named as the sum to ba appropriated. The Swed-
ish work in the New-England Conferenee received
$500 last year. The amount appropriated yester-
day for the present year was omitted. The Swedish
work in the New- York and New-York East Cou.
ferences last year received 62,400. At present the
two are consolidated, and $l,2ui> aupropriated. The
Norwegian work in the Now-York East Confer-
once last year receiven $1,500. The appropriation
this year was fixed at $],8UU. The Norwegian Mis-
sions in the Wisconsin Conference receives $1,500
this, as against $2,000 last year. The appropriation
to the Swedish Missions u West Texas last year
was $300 ; this year the work is to be uiscoutinued.
The Domestic German Missions were then taken
up, and California was called. Dr. Fowler called
attention to the tact that, at the outset, it had been
resolved to confine the appropriation to $525,000,
and that they had so far disposed of ^36j,000,
against $375,000 last year, when the aggregate ap-
propriation was much larger. Last year more
than one hundred thousand dollars was appropri-
ated to the work in the Southern States, and ne
hoped that amount would not be reduced this year.
The resmlt of the discussion on the California Ger-
mau appropriation was that «1.600 was named as
the aiuouiit, against $1,800 last year. The Central
German Conference received $5,U00 last year. Dr.
Llebbart, of Cincinnati, urged strongly the appro-
priation . of an equal amouni, this year.
Bishjp Hariis said that, if it was pro-
posed to go through and give to all the
conferences, pro rata, their share ot the money to
bo appropriated, he was satisfied; but if, as he
feared would be the case, they would be compelled
lo cut off ihe appropiialiOQS to many of tne Eng-
lisb-speakiug missions, he could see no
reason why the German Mi.-isions should
not share the same fate, when tuev are situ-
ated in the same territory as the English-
speaking missions wnxh would have to suffer.
The result was the api»ropriatiou of $3,000. The
Chicago German Ceulereuce received iii3,250 last
year. The amount granted tor the pre.'*eat year Is
52 500. The appropriation to the benefit of the
Eiist German Conference, last year, was !t6,500.
This year they will have to get along with $5,000.
The German work in Louisiana last year was aiued
to the extent of $2,000 ; $1,500 was itpprounaiod lor
the ensuing yewr. Xlie North-western Geriuau
Conference received $4,000 this year, against $4,500
last year. The Southern German Conference was
helped with missionary funds last year to the
amonnt of £10,000. A strong cffirt was made bv
Di. Liebhart to keep the appropriation up to at
least i9,0U0 this year, which was the amount asked
for by tl:e Presiding Elder of that conlerenc. Tlie
result was at appropriation of S'8.000. Dr. Liebhart
aslceU lot $5,500 tur tne .S^mih-wesi, Geriuaa Conter-
ence, which request was conapliud with. Last year
they receivtid ^7,000.
This concludeu the German Missions, and the
committee went back and took up New Mexico, one
of the Xerntoriai Foreign ilissious. Last yeartuoy
received $8,000. The amount tor the present year
^as fixed at i6,000. The Chinese Missions in Call-
fdsma received an appropnatiou last year of il0,2ri4.
This-^waa represented as a very important work, and
ID a sahsfactory condition. The loial naemburship
of the church in San Jo!>6 is thirty-eigbt, and the
increase lajt year was five by baptism and two by
letter. Tue Sunda.y-school connected with the Mis-
sion showed an average atfendauco ot seventy-ttvo
scholars, atid ihere was oreactiiui: m both theChi-
nese and Eug'ish language*. There are tour native
preachers, who prf ach every day. ana five native

hour, was ended when the honr for adjournment
arrived, and the committee adjourned until 9:30
o'clock this morning.
the dead body ot Hildebrand, in whose ri^ht band
a pistol was grasped. Mr. William B. Ogden, of
High Bridge, who has beeu prominently mentioned
in connection with the case, stated that he knew
Hildebrand during the lasi twfenty years of his life,
bat had not seen him within five years j he knew
Hildebrand as a leather and buckskin mitten-
maker in Chicago; had heard of his suicide from a
policeman, bnt was not acquainted with any of the
circumstances connected therewith, and was not
aware that Hildebrand bad been at his (Mr. Og-
den's) house immediately previous to the commis-
sion of the rash act. , 4.t the conclusion of Mr. Og-
den's testiroon.y, the Coroner adjourned the case
until this forenoon, when the members of Hilde-
brand's family will be examined.
THE STTWIDE OF WILLIAM HILDEBRAND.
Some testimony was taken yesterday by Cor-
oner Croker in the case of William Hildebrand,
who committed suicide in , the 'vicinity of High
Bridge on the 4th inst., bnt, in ooasequence of the
absence ot the family of the deceased, the investi-
gation was not concluded. Officer Edwin A. Simons,
of the Mounted Squad, testified that at 2 o'clock
on the afternoon ot the day named ho heard the re-
port of a pistol shot fired in Sedgwick avenue, near
Jerome avenue, and, on going to the spot, found

Paulding's (W. K.) "History of the City of New-
York." New-York, 1843, bought $25. Tue next
work offered for sale was peculiarly one of the gems
of this noble ooUeotJon, and addiiioual interest was
attached to the disposal of the work by very
pointed and aiirbiticant prelatory remarks made by
ihe auctioneer. The work referred to was
the imperial 4to levant morocco bound volume,
in the highest aityle of art,, with clasp, containing
the original autpgraph letters written by the friends
of Washington and hi* relatives on the portrait
painted by Pe^le. Tho book consists of "eight
pages relating to Washington, partly original
and partly selected, in the hand- writing of
Mr. Peale, with a fine original signature
of Washington, mounted at the bottom of the lost
leaf, together with twenty-six original manuscript
letters." The names of the writers are recorded
in the caialogue. Among other Washingtonian
relics may be mentioned a fragment of
the great President's coffin from the
Old -vault at Vermont, duly authenticated,
which is attached to the inside of the cover. This
unique and naequaled work was originally pur-
chased by Mr. Menzies for $320. Brfore commenc-
ing the sale, Mr. Sabin stated that he
had received a communication from the
patriotic ladies who were, endeavoring to
make Mount Vernon for Araeno^ what
Shakespeare's House at Stratford, upon Avon, was
to England, and among other mpmento of the
Father of the Country. This plot, and most valu-
able book, would form a lasting attraction. They
therefere hoped that some gentleman in the
audience would pnchase the work with
the view of presenting it to the Mount Vernon
collection. Several suggestions were made by
gentlemen present, among others one for a sub-
scription of $5 each with the view of
purchasing the work. This did not meet
with general approval, and after some desultory
conversation Mr. Saiin reminded his audience that
the books were there for sale by auoiim. This an-
nouncement drew forth an ofler of $100 from Mr.
Fisher. The tidiiiug afterwwd was almost eioln-
sively confined to Mr. Fisber and Mr. Cooke, of
Providence. The former secured the book for $175, a
price far below its intrinsic, value. A number of ta-
mous Peun pamphlets brought good prices. Penn's
Letter to the Committee of the Free Traders, London,
1683, brought $65; "Information and Correction
to Intruding Emigrants, London, 1684, $30; "The
Charter of the Provlnco of Pennsylvania," &o.,
Philadelphia, printed by Franklin, 1742, $31 ; Peters'
(Samuel) "General History of Counecdcut," &c.,
London, 1781, brought $125; the
purchaser being Mr. Phelps, of Connecticut. Tlie
first book ever printed on vellum in America, " Tho
first Plymouth Patent," done at Cambridge in
1854, was bought by Mr. Fisher Howe for $51.
The Cambridge, 1862, "Whole Booke of Paalmes,"
&c., brought $32, and Dr. Samuel Purchas' "Pil-
grimes," London, 1625, a magnificent, copy,
was bought by Mrs. Cooke, of Provideaoe,
for $85, The Abb6 Kaynal's famous "His-
tory of the Britisb Ssttlements in North
America,'*" Edinburgh, 1776, brougtit $36.
A number of Joseph Peterson's Scotch books sold
well, better perhaps than they would in Scotland,
where elegant and expensive binuing goes for a
hundred per cent, less man its trade coat. Roman's
(B.) " Natural History of Ejst and West Florida,"
diC, one of tho most valuable old books
of Americana, was knocked down f)r il75.
The famous Roxburghe prints brougbt large prices.
Raskin's works sold remarlstblv higb, owing m a
great measure to the fact that the editions offered
were the first, and very expensively bound. A
great number ot gsntlemen not. connected with tho
book trade looked forward with great interest to
to the sale last night of one of the
most unique volumes in this great
library. In the oatalouue it was headed "Signers
of the Constitution if the united States." This
title gave'uo clue to the nature of the work, which,
however, was fully described iu the catalogue. It
consisted of autographs, lelteriS, noten, circulars,
and documotits, with some portraits of the signers
cf tne Constitution of the United States.
This magnificent work was almost exclusively bid
for by Mr. Dwight, who represented the Cod-
gressional Library at Wasningtou, and Mr. Fisher,
who it is understood, represented Mr. ,7. W.
Drexol. Mr. Fisher started with an offer of $100,
and finally ran it up to $290. at which price it was
knocked "down to him. The beautiful library
furniture and rare eugraviugs will be eold this
afternoon, anil tho remainder of the books in the
ovenlng. Tho sale commences at 3:30 P. M.

THE NEW-TORK NAUTICAL SCHOOL.
SECOND ANNUAL EXAMINATION OK THB
PUPILS ON BOARD THE SCHOOL-SHIP ST.
MARY'S — THE EXPERIMENT A SUCCESS.
The eecpnd annual examination of the Nauti-
cal School of the Port of New-York, by the council
appointed by the Chamber of Commerce took place
yesterday on board the school-ship St. Mary's. The
ship was ancbored m East River, off Wall Street
Ferry, having returned from her cruise to the Azo-
res and Philadelphia early this week. The Nauti-
cal School was the outgrowth of a feeling on the
part of commarclad men of this City that there was
need of reform in the merchant service ; that
the standard of seamanship ought to be
raised, aud that boys about to enter the service
should have an education as well as nautical drill,
in order to make them valuable sailors. On April
13, 1873, the Legislature passed an act authorizing
the Board of Education of the City of New-York to
provide and maintain a nautical school for the edu-
cation and training of pupils in the service and
practice of navigation . The law provided that the
school should be managed by the Board ot Educa-
tion, assisted by the advice of a council appointed-
bv the Chamber of CaiQmerce, Under an act of
Congress of June 2, 1874, the Secretary of tho N^vy
was authorized to extend the use of certain vessels
for the use of nautical schools, and to detail naval
officers to act as Superintendents and instructors.
The St. Mary's was lent for the use of the
school of this port. She was placed at the disposal
of the Board of Education Jan. 11, 1875, and two
days later sixty boys had been received as pupils.
The number rapidly increased to about one
hundred and twenty-five, and this has been
the average attendance since. The first an-
nual examination was held in October, 1875, and
showed that the school had been founded upon the
correct plan, and that the efficiency of the United
States officers yrbo had acted in connection with the
committee of the Board of Education had carried
out the plan with wonderful success. The Council
of the Chamber of Commerce presented a highly
flattering report to tho Chamber after witnessing
this drst examination. But inasmuch as the
course of instruction covers two years,
the examinatiou of yesterday was looked
forward to as more likely to settle the
question of the success of the schooL Sixty of
tbe boys were to graduate, aud it was the business
of ■ the couooil to see how thoroughly they were
prepared for actual sailors' life and how well they
deserved the diplnmas farnishou tiy the Board of
Education. Messrs. Charles H. Marshall, John E.
Myers, and Thomas P. Ball c instituted the conncli,
and Capts. James Park-r, E. G. Tinker, and G. D.
S. TrasK were invited to assist as experts. They
began ttie examination at 11 A. M., and concliided
at about 5 P. M., baviug thoroughly inspected tbe
ship and examined the boys in seamanship and
navigation, both practical and theoretical. In the
afternoon a number of prominent gentlemen went
to the ship by Invitation to witness an ex-
hibition on the part of the boys of their proficiency
m nautical drill. Among them were ei-Gov. John
T. Hoffman, Hon. S. B. Chittenden, James M.
Brown. John T, Aguew, Bichard Lathers, H. M.
Taber, L. J, N. Stark, Setb Low, G, W. Lane, A.
R. Wetmoxe, William Wood, President of tne
Board of Education ; Edward A. Lambert, George
H. Kemp, George A. Jarvis, and State Senator
Ball. Before proceeding to drill, the boys were
formed In dpuble lines at the stern of the ship iu
order that tne.y might witness the presentation to
two of their number of tokens from the Life saving
Benevolent Society of New- York. A. K. Warren
and Alexander Wads worth, bojs of about
nineteen years, were the fortunate ones.
They were to be rewarded for saving
the life of their shipmate, William Whittle,
who fell overboard on Sept. 26 last. Mr. L. L. Cou-
dert presented the tokens iu behalf ot the society,
Tuey were silver medals, bearing an inscriptiou
simply relating the story of the rescue, Atter tbe
presentation *ras over, tho boys were put to work.
They made sail, and reefed, and furled ; they
manned the ship's boats, and palled a lively race
half-way 'to Governor'* Island ana return; they
spliced ropes and tied knots, and did everything
else that sailors are supposed to do, with remarka-
ble energy and skill. They won the loudest plaaditsi
from the spectators when they extinguished an
imaginary fire in the ship's hold. The boys were
standing carelessly on deck vrhen the fire alarm
sounded. In an instant they were scampering in
every conceivable direction with astonishing rapid-
ity. ' But there was complete order in the apparent
confusion. Everybody had his business well in
mind, and knew exactly how to attend to it. Siime
rushed for the pieces of canvas with which to cover
tne hatches; others ran for extinguishers with
which to cover designated portions of the shipj-
stlll others ran for fire buckets, and were presently

proper station. Meanwhile, others hadb6<mwork-
ing'in the hold, and in less. tbau a minute from the

THE FUTURE OF MEXICO.
"The Future of IV^xico" was the subject of
alectnre delivered last evening at Science Hall.
No. 141 Eighth street, before the LlBeral Clnb, by
Dr. Charles H. Brink, late United States Conrtl to
Mexico. The lecturer gave a glowing description
of tbe tropical beauty of Mexijo, and passed to a
consideration of the prospects : and probable future
of the country. Preferring the dust and mildew of
tbe past to tbe grand achievements and victorious
vitality of the present, human life had with them,
he said, rqsted into stereotyped forms, and un-
aware ths$ science, art and civilizalion had
widened or improved since the Moors left Spain,
or Curtoz entered Mexico, the Mexicans mistook
the nineteenth, far the sixteenth century. Their
society was stationary and stagnant, their reigning
passion indolence, their highest hapiiiaess, idle-
ness, their severest dissination. i-leep. pride, strut-
ting in sterile indolanco, their chief characteHs.ic.
Under the perpetuaj^ reign of misrule, their land
has become the chosen home of revolution, and tn©
prey <if political tumults, and mental and moral
anarchy. Without a speedy change in this un-
wholesome condition the country must lanse into
utter barbarism, and it is, the lecturer continued, a
question of highest importance to the United States
whether Mexico rem liins an independent nation or
becomes part of tne Great Republic. But whatever
mode may be adopted none can deny that the ab-
Burotion of her territory is inevitable. The problem
er6_ long to be settled by tbe people of tne
United States is the policy of her annexation.
The lecturer then proceeded to enumerate argu-
ments proving the wisdom of the policy of annexa-
tion. The territory itself Is four times as large as
France, incredibly rich in precious ores, and bound-
less in agricnltural resources, yet so disorganized
are these that its industries are rotting for want of
the capital and tbe enterprise that will reveal their
value. Under American rule it "would spring
into a new existence, and increase the
unity, strength, wealth, and influence of
the United States. Accepting her destiny,
said the lecturer in conclusion, Mexico will he
transformed into a populous and powerful State,
and the memories only of her wretchedness and
Clime will remain to cloud the splendors of a re-
created nation, while the past will t"nch and con-
trast with a future, bright with the golden gloiies
of a dawn. The Mexico of to-iay is but an effete
fragment of the vast Spanish Empire, the Mexico of
the future ii destined to be a part of the miihty
Republic wbose glories will dim the splendors uf the'
grand old Empires of the earth. «

Out news this morning is of the hischest
importance. South Carolina is shown to he
absolutely harred from the list of States the
Democrats have heen so loqjily claiming.
The count of the rote of the State is such as
to silence all complaints. Afraid that the
.Board of Canrassers would throw out the
flaitrantly fraudulent vote of counties in
which the shot-gun policy had ruled, the
Democratic leaders hy legal pro-
cess temporarily suspended the judicial
tonoticms of the board, and compelled it to
proceed with the counting of the vote as
presented. When it became evident that
even on this showing the State had gone
Bepublican, these leaders objected to the re-
sult being publicly announced ; and though
the press reporters had been present while
the count was going on, they now presented
and urged a request that they be excluded
from the room. This t^ board refused to
do, and the result, as annonnoed, was that
South Carolina had gone for Hayes by
nearly one thousand majority. Rightfully
it ought to over 40,000. The dis-
appointed Democrats immediately be-
gan to qnibbie, in which they may
be wished much joy. From Florida
oar reports are such as make us abate not
one tot or tittle of the claim that the State
is decisively Republican, Democratic mani-
festoes to ^ the contrary, notwithstanding.
There is not much doubt that over the vote
Off this State the supporters of TiLDENare
mftVing their last fight, and that they are
clinging to it as drowning men to straws.
Hore noise is made about Louisiana, but
the. real work is being done in Florida.
Tbey think they see a last chance there,
iHttthe hope is- delusive. Hayes has the
State beyond doubt. There is no mis-
taking the tone of the Democrats in
Louisiana. They have given up the State —
cnUenly and with bitter mortification;
but it is given up. That the count
of the vote will be fair, open, and
honest, the members of the Betnming
Board have dona all that lay in their
power to show. Deprived of any com-
::' plaint on this score, th^ Democrats give up
the game in advance, say they expect
nothing from the board,' and cover their
defeat by talking about taking the contest
into Congress. We again repeat our asser-
tion that Gov. Hayes has been elected
President. _

Bf Telegraph from our Special Correapondent.
Columbus, Nov. 18. — It is definitely de-
aided at last that the electoral vote of South
(^olina vas cast f«r Hayes and Wheeler in spite
of shot-gans and barrelo of money. The State
Board of Caaraesers completed the count ot this
vote at noon to-day, in the presence of eight
eboeen representatives of each party, admit-
ted by resolution of the board at the sugges-
tioB of Judge Cartter and Congressman
Parker, and there is no complaint from any
•ne that the count was not perfectly fair.
After the eonnt was completed, the board
took a recess while the clerks were
Sooting up ttae fiei;Lre8. On reassembliug,
the Chairman ot the board, Mr, Hayne, di-
rected the Clerk to announce the result, -where-
Qpen Haskell, Chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee of South Carolina, ob-
|eeted to reporters of the press being
Dcosent to take the vote as declared. Gen.
Connor, Democratic candidate for Attorney
Ghmeral, also objected to the board
announcing the result until the count of votes
on the other tickets was completed and re-
turn made 'to the court In reply, Mr. Hayae
(aid this . was not intended as an ofScial an-
nonncemont of the result, but merely for the
information of the board. As to the reporters,
they had been permitted to be present during
the coout, and he could see no reason why they
' shoold not hear tbe result. It could make no
difference any way, as they were in possession
ol tbe figures, and could add them up
tor themselves. Gen. Connor took exception to
Qit ruling ol the Chairman. Mr. Hayne remarked
that be was not aware that any of the parties
who had been admitted on either side were
here as counsel, but only as spectators |p wit-
nesses to the accuracy of the eonnt. The re-
sult of the Electoral vote was then declared by
the clerk as follows:
JtepublUan Electors at Large — C. C. Bowen,
91,786; John, Wmamith. 91,870.
District Electori—1. B. Johnson, 91,852;
Timothy Hurley, 91.136 ; W. B. Nash, 91,804 ;
90,905 ; J. B. Irwin, 90.906 ; Robert Aldrioh,
90,860.
The reason of Hurley running so much behind
tbe other Electors is owing to a clerical
error of the Inspectors ot Election in
Blackvilie, Barnwell County, who accident-
ally omitted hia name in their return to
the County Commissioners. Pending decision
of the Supreme Court as to the power of the
bo<ird to go behind tbe face of the returns, as
forwarded by the County Commissioners, tbe
board oould not, of course, coiTeot this
clerical erh)r, or any other; but if
the decision shall be in their favor,
they will be able to show beyond any question
that the majority of the Bepublioan electoral
ticket, instead of averaging 900, is nearer
3,000. The Democrats residing here appear
te be much better satisfied with the result
as announced by the board than the men
sent down froai the North to count the State.
in for Tilden.
All the South Carolina Dem||prat8 here hoped
for was the election of Hampton, and it is
probable that this is secured, provided the
board shall not be permitted to go back of
the face of the returns. ' The other
State officers are in more doubt, as
weU as the Legislature. If Edgefield
County, where 2,000. more votes were returned
than there are voters, should be thrown out of
the count, or tbe returns corrected in accord-
ance with the facts, the whole Eepublican
State ticket will be elected, with a Eepublican
majority in the Legislature. The decision of
the court on the powers of the board
in this regard u expected on Monday. Mean-
time the board will proceed with the count of
votes for State officers.
The court requested a rehearing on certain
provisions of law regardins the duties of the
State Board, which was had this afternoon.
Attorney General Elliott appeared for the board,
and Gen. Connor in apposition. The question
was whether the board, which is required to
certify to the correctness of the vote, could
properly do s* without taking tbe neoessa-ry
steps to ascertain its correctness, which
would open up the whole question of
their power to go back of the face of
the returns. The request by the court for a
rohe'aring is construed here as an indication
that the court wiU decide in favor of the
powers claimed by the board. It is a note-
worthy fact that the counsel for the Demo-
cratic side changed his base since the last argu-
ment to the extent of admitting that
the board had the right to go
back of the returns, so far as to correct mani-
fest clerical errors. The reason for this is said
to be that the Democrats wish to put in a
claim to several errors, but the Republicans
are perfectly willine to meet them on
this score, and feel entirely
that if the court allows the
go back of th§ returns at
will b« permitted to open up the whole ques-
tion ot traud, intimidation, and illegal voting.
There is very little excitement here. All
the interest of the Democrats appears to centre
on the vote for Wade Hampton, which will
hot he comited complete before Monday.
Judge Cartter and Congressman Packer leave
to-night for the North; also Smith Weed, who
has been here sinoe Tuesday looking after
Tilden's interests.

Tallahassee, Nov. 18. — Tiie past
twenty-four hours has thrown a little more
light on the. political situation, ana ol a char-
. act«r still more favorable for Hayes and the
Republican State candidates. Official returns
have been received from the Counties ot Wal-
ton and Holmes, which reduce the Democratic
claims 102. There are still ten Democratic
counties to hear from officially. The returns
from at least eight of these counties should have
been received some days ago, and there is every
reason for apprehension that they are kept
back for the purpose of being maninulated
to suit ^ the requirements of the Dem-
ocrats. It should be borne in mind
that all the Democratic counties, with
three exceptions, are in the hands of Demo-
cratic officials, and these officials have in sev-
eral instances given evidence of their willing-
ness to perform any act ol political rascality
which the Democratic leaders may require of
them. For instance, in 1872, when the returns
came to hand from the Democratic officials ot
Jackson County, the Democratic candidate lor
Governor, who received only 939 votes, was
credited with 1,339; the Republfbaii candidate,
who received 1,109, was only credited with 709,
and so on through the whole list of candidates.
The perpetration of this fraud by tbe
Democrats was not disproved at the time of
its commission, and it cannot be denied now.
Tbe evidence exists on the records of the State
Canvassing Board, and the altered returns cer -
tifled to offieially by that board are still iu ex-
istence. Similar frauds are shown to have
^een attempted in four Democratic counties in
the present canvass. The returns from Volu-
sia, Hillsboro, Hernando, and Levy Counties
have been tampered with, and made to show
fictitious majorities. If further opposition had
not become so important an element in the na-
tional contest, the absurd claims of the
Democrats to have carried ^ the State
would long sinoe have been abandoned.
On the day after the election, when the heavy
mt^orities given by the Republiaan counties in
favor of Hayes and Wheeler and the Republi-
can State ticket became generally known, the
Democratic leaders virtually threw up the
sponge, and conceded the election to their op-
ponents ; but, when the extraordinary intel-
ligence flashed over the wires that the result of
the Presidential election depended upon the
vote of J'lorida, the Democrats, excited by
this tmexpected condition of aftairs, and
spurred up by telegrams from the
North, took back their concessions,-
and, with brazen faces, claimed a victory
for their candidates. The returns of Demo-
cratic oountiea within reach pf the telegraph,
and which had been already heard from, were
immediately subjected to a process of expan-
sion. For instance, in Monroe County the
Democratic majority was returned at 60 ; it
was raised to 250 when the national situation
became known. Orange County was officially
heard from as having given 950 Democratic
majority, although one of the most macoessible
counties in the State, and at least four
days distant from this place. But these
tactics were soon discovered by the Re-
publican leaders, and every means possible
taken to secure true returns of the
actual votes cast. To-day the Domocratlo
leaders who are here from the North are very
much disoouraged, in view of the fact that
with all the doctoring done by Democratic
officials, the returns, without any revision or
throwing out, will show a majority for Hayes.
Yesterday a committee of Democrats waited
upon the Governor, and asked him if it was
his intention to act with reference to canvass-
ing for the electoral vote, as had been done in
1872. On that occasion Gov. Reea canvassed
the electoral vote from the copy of the
returns which the law directs to be
sent to the Governor, and gave the Electors
their certificates before the Canvassing Board
met. The Governor replied that in such a
crisis he would not do so without hearing from
both sides in the matter. The Democrats do
not wish him to canvass the vote, as they know
the returns will show a mjflority for Hayes,
and their only hope is in securine the rejection
of the vote of some of the large Republican
cotmties, on the gr9und of fraud.
A DEMOCRATIC MANIFESTO.
The foHowing document, which on the
face of It is a Democratic manifesto, and bears
internal evidence of being prepared by the
Northern Democrats now in Florida, comes to
us through the Associated Press:
Tallahassee, Nov. 18. — The following seems
to be the sUaation in this State : Each party claims
the State on the Presidential ticket. It is pretty
well conceded that tbe Democrats carry their State
ticket. The Democrats base their claim of the( affect the result
electoral ticket on official returns received here\ information has been suplem anted to-day by
as follows i It is ordered that the count of the | two t^legraips, sent in reply to inquiries made
votes and the canvass of the same shall
be done in public. The Democratic Committee
arranged to have sworn duplicates of the official re-
turns made in each county, and forwarded. They
have received these from all save five counties, all
Democratic. Then estimates based on these unoffi-
cial copies of ofiBcial returns give Drew and Tilden
both a clear majority. The EepuDlloana will furnish
no flgares, stating that they will await the official
returns. Many stontly claim that Hayes
baa carried the State. However, it is
probable that Tilaen -will have a majority of
some 300 or 400 on the return s as made officially by
the County Canvassers. The Republicans claim
that, even admitting this, they will be able, by
proving frauds, to overcome this prima facie ma-
jority and establish the State for Hayes. The
fleht before the State Board will be very bitter ;
the Democratic leaders, defending their majority
for Tilden, «ill attack the returns in JefiFerson,
Alachua, and IiPon Countiiis, which are tbe Repub-
lican strongholds. They clain to hi»vo discovered
a elaiine fraud in Alachua, where the returJawt tbe
election inspectors- were raised 219 votes, and tbeir
names lorged to a new return.
The Democratic State Committee yesterday ad-
dressed a note to the Board of State Canvassers
requesting them to proceed at once to the canvass of
such county returns as are already in. Tbey based
their request upon the fact that a great mass tjf testi
mony would come before the board from both sides,
and that its proper presentation and argument
would take a long time, and that as the United
States law requires the Governor to iaaue his certifi-
cate to the Presidential Electors on the 6th of De-
cember, it 18 necessary to begin work at once in
order that a fair hearing may be had.
The board this morning declined to commence the
canvass : Mr. CocKe. a Democrat, voting yea, and
Messrs. McLin and Cowgill, Eepublican?, voting
yea. The Eepublican declined on the ground that
the law reads, "On the thirty-fifth day after elec-
tion, or sooner if all the returns are in, the canvass
of the vote stiall be begun," and that as the time
has not vet expired, and all the returns are not yet
in, they cannot legally begin work. The Democrats
claim there is a clause allowing the can-
vass t"J begin at any time, and canvass
such returns as arrived, not closing the
canvass to the evclnsion of any county for
non-ariival until the thirty-flfth day has come.
Steps will »robably be taken to sse if there is not
in the Supreme Court some power to force the can-
vassers to begin work. The Democrats aver that
the delav Is meant to either force the Governor to
issae certificates without a oauvass when the 6th of
December arrives, or to open the canvass at so late
a day that there will be no time for a full and fair
discussion ot the tranfls involved.

New-Orleans, Nov. 18.— -The Returning
Board met to-day. There were present repre-
sentatives of both political parties, including
the strangers that are here, and five gentlemen
on behalf of the Democratic State Central Com-
mittee, resident. No business of special im-
portance was transacted. The canvass will
cKnmence on Monday. The vacancy en the
board has not yet been filled. It haa been ar-
ranged that on questions of contest the Demo-
crats are to appear before the board by coun-
sel. Indeed, every concession possible has been
made by the Republicans, and the people at
largo can rest assured that the can-
vass will he openly, honestly, and
fflirly made. The Democrats sullenly
accept the situation, but they are without hope
of showing that Nichols has heen elected Gov-
ernor, or that Tilden is entitled to tne electoral
vote. Thoy will protest at every step for the
purpose of making up a case for Congress.
They have nrej udged the action of the Returning
Board, and say they expect nothing favorable
from it. But they do expect Northern Demo-
crats to take the case from their hands -and es-
tablish a national Democratic Government.
They talk openly ot war, but they do not want
it here. The Mansfield Reporter, of De Soto
Parish, which fairly represents the Democracy
in this State, says :
*',"We trusted this Northern Democracy once in
1860, and they betrayed our trust by killing more
of our fathers, and hrothers, and sons tban any other
party; and now. if tbey fool ns again,
and allow the heel of the usurper to.be again
put upon our necks in Louisiana, we hope God. in
his providence, will everlastingly blot out the
name, tbe fame, and the memory of a party which
we have been allied to time out ot mind,
but which alliance has brought us nothing
but destitution and misery for the last
twenty years. It is their time to play now, and
not ours, aad if our people allow themselves to be
betrayed into the trap again, as they were upon
the memorable assault upon Port Sumter, tbey de-
serve no sympathy &om tbe civilized world and no
pity from the human family."
Other papers and prominent men speak in a
similfir vein. Thus tbe case stands.
A number of the prominent visitors of both
parties have left the city to wait at home for
the verdict. Republicans claim the State be-
cause it of right belongs to them, and Louisiana
is safe for Hayes and Wheeler.

HOW FIVE OF THE REPUBLICAN ELECTORS
WERE LEFT OFF A FEW TICKETS —
ONLY A Ffi^W OF THESE IMPERFECT
BALLOTS CAST — THE RESULT NOr AT
ALL AFFECTED.
Special IHspateh to the New-York Ihmes.
Washington, Nov. 18.— The publication
to-day of a story that five of the Republican
Electors of Louisiana were left off the
electoral ticket in several parishes has caused
much rejoicing among Democrats, and
some fear to Republicans, since people gener-
ally had no means of verifying the truth ot the
report. It ia learned from Senator West that
the omission from the printed ticket has been
known to the Republicans for several days, and
they understand th« whole extent of it. There
was but a small number of these imperfect bal-
lots cast, and not enough, by any means, to
Senator West's previous
by him. Both say there ia no fear of the re-
sult, and they refer particularly to these im-
perfect ballots. The Democrats appear to
have lust disoovered them, and are making
the moat of the error. Other persons wtio
would have been advised of anything serious
have not been telegraphed concerning this sup-
posed new feature, and no importance is at-
tached to it hy those who have the best oppor-
tunitvto know the real condition of affairs.

LETTER FROM THE VISITING REPUBLICANS
TO THE DEMOCRATS — THE PROPOSED
CONFERENCE MADE UNNECESSARY BY
THE ACTION OF TOE RETURNING BOARD.
New-Orleans, Nov. 18.— The following
reply has been made to the last letter of the
Democrats by visiting Republicans here:
Gentlemen : Wo are gratified to learn that
\ye have misappretiended the language and
spirit of your communication of the 14th inst.,
and that we were in error in attributing to you
a ptirpose to interfere with the legally consti-
tuted authorities of this State iu the discharge
of their duties. Perhaps this misapprehension
was the natural result of the language em-
ployed. Your request was to meet and confer
with you personally or through committ es, in
wder that such influence as we possess may be
exerted in behalf of such canvass of the votes
actually cast as by its fairness andimpartiali-
ty shall command the respsct and acquiescence
of the American people. This, as we under-
stood, was a request to co-operate with you
for the purpose of influencing the action of the
Returning Board ia the discharge of its duties.
The President had requested us to attend
there to witness, not to influence such can-
vass, and we know that such request by hini
was not intended to limit us to witness the
count of votes actually oast, but the entire
proceedings ef the board in reaching a result
as to the votes legally cast to be counted. We
are gratified to learn that you concur
with the President and with us in
this understanding. You also state that
you are fully aware that both the organization
and action, whether judicial or ministerial, of
the Returning Board of Louisiana was beyond
any authoritative control from without, and ic
would be tho height of arrogance and folly to
attempt to alter the laws of a State ofwhTch we
are not citizens, or to obtrude our iBterpretation
ot the laws upon those whose duty it is
to administer them. Wo .may, therefore,
as we think, assume that you will agree with
U3 that it would bo arrogance equally to at-
tempt by any one concerted action to iufluonoe
the proceedings or result of courts of justice or
of boards acting judicially, and hence we
are gratified at being able, from the lan-
guage and tenor of your letter, to assume that
vou did not wish to confer with us for the pur-
pose of influencing the action of the Eoturning
Board, but only to secure such co-operation on
our part as would enable ua, jointly with your-
selves, to witness the proceedings throughout
A conference for such a purpose would now
seem to be necessary, as we learn from a com-
munication just received from the Returning
that— by.your explanatory note— you desire to
attain by the proposed conference,
We will add that it is very apparent that if
your wish is to see a fair and honest expression
from tbe electoral vote of Louisiana, there is no
dift'erenoe between ourselves and you except as
toyoiir conduct in reference to that result. You
have proposed a conference and active associated
influence. This wereeard as beyond our dntyor
our privilege as individuals. We shall be hap-
py at all times to confer with you, and as indi-
viduals to co-operate in whatever shall be right,
but concerted action for the purpose of influ-
encing an official hoard we hold to he beyond
out privilege, and we shall hope that all may
come to pass which good oitizens can wish
without the use of any such means. We re-
main, gentlemen, very resDefCtfully yours,

State government ; that aaidact in said respect i*
In direct conflict with tbe Constitution of th«

creating a government not RejpnbUoan in form or

Second— By the act under which the said board
claims to proceed, the said board ii vested with

JAird— That if the constituljionaUty of/ the law
w<^re established beyond question, we acain object,
and protest, and except to tueinanneriu which tbe

98 of 1872, section 52. provides that five per-
sons, to be elected by the Seiiate from aU, poUti-

all elections in the State. We except

constituted as required by law.
Fourth — On behalf of the Democratio Blectors,
tbe ooansel protested against the counting and com-

OP THE
BOARD.
New-Orleans, Nov. 18. — At 12 o'clock there
was quite a gathering at the room of the Eeturning
Board. Massrs. Casanava and Wells, of tbe mem-
bers of the board, were there. Judee Trumbull,
Judge Stallo, Gov. Palmer, and ex-Gov. McHenry,
of tbe Northern Democrats, and the Democratic
Committee, which has charge of evidence, to be Bre-
sented on the part of Democrats, were present.
There were a number of Republicans present also.
There was a delay in the meeting, on the part of tbe
board, on account of the absence of Messrs. Ander-
son and Kencer. The board met at 12-30. and au-
thorized the Sergeant at Arcds to procure a room
for the meeting of the board. Gen. Anderson,
having arrived and taken his seat, said that there
were a great many distinguished gentlemen in tbe
city who would desire to witness the proceedings
of the board, and he therefore offered the following
preamble and resolution, which were adopted with-
out dissent, and ordered to be spread upon the min-
utes:
fHere follows preamble and resolution as.given
in the communication to the visiting Republicans.]
The Secretary of the board reported that election
returns- from thirty-flve parishes had been filed
with him. There are returns from thirty -six
parishes yet to arrive.
The question was raised as to whether the board
eonld begin the compilation and canvass until all of
the returns had been received. - It was determined,
however, to commence on Monday, the 20th inst.,
and to take up the parishes alphabetically or by
Congressional districts.
Col. Zachane, Chairman of the Democratio Com-
mittee on Election and Eetmrns, requested to know
whether the presence of counsel representing tbe
Democratle candidates would be allowed during the
deliberation of the board.
The Preaident replied that only in cases where
disputed points arose would counsel for both par-
ties be called in. He added that counsel would be
permitted to inspect the retarns when they were
opened, in order to see whether they had been tam-
pered with.
Col. Zacharie, of counsel for the Democratic can-
didates, filed a plea against the constitutionalitv of
the board, and protested against certain action.
The following grounds were set forth:
J-ijsfr— Bv section 2. article 98, 1872, creating a
Board of Returning Officers, there is uo term fixed
for tenure of office, and bt the same section it is
provided that in case of any vacancy by death, refc-
lenatioo, or otherwise, oy either of the board, the
vacancy shall be filled by the residue of
the board, thus creatine a board with power
perpetuating itself indednitely. and conferring said
power in certain con tlneonciea upon & single per-
son ; that the said board is authoiized to canvass
and return as elected Members of the Legislature,
and said members are above authorized to participate
in the organization of either branch of the Legisla-
ture and said Legislature, so constituted under
act 48, title 3 of the Constitution of the State of
Loni»iana, shall examine and count the votes for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, the direct and
immediate efTect of all of which is to
place the power in the hands of five persons

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times.
Washington, Nov. 18. — There is not the
slightest foundation for the story printed in the
TTorW of yesterday, about ordering additional
troops to New-Orleans. Gen. Sheridan has not
applied for more troops, neither is it proposed
to order treops there from the Department of
the Miasouii. No orders have been issaed. re-
cently from the War Department in reterenee
te the movement of troops in the Southern
States. No disturbances are apprehended,
and no immediate occasion is known to exist re-
quiring reinforcements to be sent to either of the
three States whose electien returns are in con-
troversy. Treops were sent to Leoiaiana, South
Carolina, and Florida simply to preserve tbe
peace, and suflicient force is now in the three
States named for that purpose. Should any
outbreak threaten, however, additional and
adequate reinfercements will he promptly for-
warded. The reported activity in the Navy has
no more foundation than stories about the
movements of troops. There have been a good
many threats, which lead prudent men to con-
sider ho'vr tlie peace shall be maintained, and
mob violence restrained if it should be attempt-
ed, which nobody here really expects. The
Navy might be useful in npholdimg law, should
any force lor that purpose become necessary, and
most likely there will be no neglect to render
it fit for service. But that, fortunately, can be
accomplished without extraordinary cost or
labor. It may be well to note, in this connec-
tion, that all talk of- a resort to force to defeat
the inauguration of either' candidate who may
be declared electea, is observed to come from
non-combatants in the late war. Soldiers, on
both sides, are willing to yield to the result as
legally declared.

UNITED STATES LANDS.
BECISIONS BY THE SECRETARY OF THE IN-
TKRIOR AND BY THE COMMISSIONER OF
THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE. , .,
Washington, Nov. 18.— Copp's Land Owner
for Norember reports decisions by tbe Secretary of
the Interior in effect as follows : The filing of a
inclaratory pre-emption statement belore settle-
ment does not invalidate a right in the absence of
an adverse claim. All ex parte evidence filed after
the close of a he.iriiig lu a contested land case befoi e
local land officers must be rejeeted, except as
a basis for an application for a new ,^ hearing.
All documents and exhibits filed m a case after the
same has passed beyond Ine jurisdiction cf the Gen-
eral Land Office mi:3t be passed upon by the de-
partment proper, and no paper thns filed should be
rejected by tho General Land Office.
Where a party settled on land in the fifteenth or
thirty-sixth section Ions prior to the survey thereof,
hut has exhausted bis pre-emption privilege, he
cannot, by a homestead entry, prevent the tract
from passing undar :he school grant. '
To settle upon laodsof a swampy character would
raise such a donl)t oi tbe settler's good faith as upon
proper 9f plication to justify an order for an inves-
tigation At 8u«b hearing the character of the
land at the date of sottlement should be deter-
mined. When notice of selection of a tract by the
State is roctivod at the local land office, tbe State
should be notified before proof and payment is made
by the se'tler thereon, but where patents have
been issued uader f >riuer rulings of the Interior
Department, the cases will be considered res
■'"Lane covered by an invalid State selection may
bo entered under tbe provisions of the Timber Cul-,
tnro act, if otherwise -ubiect thereto.
Decisions by the Commissioner of the General
Laud Oliica are reported to tho following effect:
The faji thai a gives tract of land Um been en-
tered or patented as a town site in no wav pre-
vents tho OWU9F of a lode claim from securing a
patent to his mine upon compltanea with the terms
of the Miiiine act. as the same is excluded from the
aneration of such town-Site patent. As, iu case of a
Placer claim, the surface of the ground is absolute-.
Iv necessary to the sucoestJul woraing of tho mine,
it canrot be incladed iu a town site, -entry, or
patent. -
In cases of applications for patents for mines on
the Comstook Lode. Nevada, hearing* may be bad
to determine whether tbe mines i« Question have
been benefited or drained by the Sutro Tunnel, but
the Commissioner of the General Land Office will
not attempt to literftire with the right ot mine-
owners to exercise control and ownership over the
nines so long M they comply with tbe r^ulre-
.Bcnu of iaif. ^^, ^^^^ ,^ ^,^,^._^

MR. black's AitERICAN TOUR.
It was said that Mr. WiUiam Black, the
tiovelist, went to America for the purpose of
devoting the second volume of bis new novel
to scenes in the States. Gossips said he would
run his hero or heroine tbrouKh the country
over which he traveled, as he did in " The
Btory of a Phaeton." He tells me that these
«re not Ms intentions. Beyond the pleasure de-
rived from his holiday in America, th^ result
lot his tour will simply be tbe introduction of
an episodical incident in the story he is writ-
ing. Mr, Black took part in a toaching little
event on board the Germanic during tho home-
' ward vo.yage. A year or two ago an Americaif
father lost his child on board a White Star
ship. Tbe infant died in its mother's arms
irhile tho vessel . was steaming oat
of New-York harbor. The little white
body was buried in the deep off Sable Island.
' At this point the other day Mr. Black and a
brother novelist, at the earnest request of the
bereaved parent scattered an armfuU of roses
and exotic flowers upon tbe sea, a poetic ex-
pression of hia sorrow and a tribute laid upon
an ocean grave. The incident ought to be sug
gestiye to the novelist. Perhaps the poet may
•ee more in the fiash of the flowers as they sped
away and were lost in the wake of the steamer,
than is' suggested to the novelist by this prettily
poetic picture. I don't think there was a poet
on board ; and Mr. Tupper had already-
arrived in the States 1 We are all amused on
this side at the quiet chaff he is receiving at the
hands of American journalists. You know our
estimate of bim, thouch the general good sense

die classes of the people. "What does England

THE 8LADE PROSECUTION.
The State Prosecution seem likely to inaugu-
rate a universal raid upon professed mediums.
Already two other Spiritualists in the provin-
ces have been overhauled by the police. Dr.
Blade has been released from custody, pending
his appeal against .the sentence of the Bow
Strfct magistrate. The appeal is to the masis-
trates at the Middlesex sessions which are held
in the old Sessions House at Westminster.
Their decision will be final. There is no high-
er court of appeal against the defense of a met-
TOpolitan magistrate. In oases of appeal the
'Government instrrcts counsel to appear and
support the conviction. The court can
overrule, modifj-, vary or reverse
"jthe ssentence, but it is thought that Quarter
Sessions will be against Dr. Slade. In the
«ourge of his remarks Mr. Flowers, the Bow
Street Magistrate, said something that reflects
upon the character of Mr. D. D. Home, a spirit-
ualist who some years ago was in high feather
in Loutlou. Mr. Home is a cripple now at
Geneva, but he has written a stinging rebuke
to Mr. Flowers, and soma of the papers have
published his letter. In the lawsuit by Mrs.
Lyon to recover from Mr. Home a large sum of
money which she had settled upon him,
Mr. Home was proved to have behaved
like an honorable man, and in this
raid against Spiritualists it should not bo
taken for granted tbat all "people who believe
In Spiritualism and practice it are fools or
knaves. M;iny of them are both the one and
the other, but "there are exceptions. Among
tho most prominent believers in Spiritualism in
England are Mrs. Bernal Osborne, Mr. and
^rs. S. C. flail. Mr. Oberon Herbert, Mr. Pe-
terson, Miss Florence Marryat.
•GEOKGB KLIOT AND-HER CHANGE OP STYLE.
^ The remarkable change which has come over
tho spirit and style of George Eliot's writings
is possibly not as well understood in America
as it is on this side of the Atlantic. Those who
jdwell with delight on the freshness and beauty
|of Adam Bede, Silas Marner, and Tlte Mill on
the Floss, may be excused for wondering at the
'turgid and lugubrious stuff which "lumbers
>up Daniel Deronda." Here is " the reason
ly Sevieto, and other high-class periodicals.
They discovered a platonio aJBfection for each
other, and after a time were married. Ever
since this partnership Mr. Lewes has guided,
more or less, the pen which wrote Adam
Bede, and his thoughts were easily discernible
in Middlemarch. Ou the eve of the publica-
tion of that notable work he reviewed it in the
Saturday and Fortnightly, (anonymously, of
course.; and proaaounced it to be a splendid
effort of genius. In literary society he now
proclaims himself tbe joint author of
I>anitl Deronda. Ho wrote every line
of the chapter which describes the discussion
at the club to which Mordecai introduced
Daniel. Such a club as this really had an
existence in London, under the presidency of a
Jew upon whom Mr. and Mrs. Lewes modeled
MordecaL Tbe admirers of Mrs. Lewes are
not pleased with this literary partnership, and
they say, most truly, that the critical philoso-
pher has destroyed the classic purity of the
lady's English. Daniel Deronda is having a
large sale, nevertheless.
BITUALISM IN ENGLAND.
A CLERGYMAN SUSPENDED POR THREE
MONTHS — THE ROMAN STYLE OF WOR-
. SHIP — THE RITUALISTIC REVOLT.
From the London Telegraph.
Bev. Thomas Pelham Dale — one of the most
resolute of Bitualists — has been made to feel the
difference het^en the dilatory pace of the old
ecclesiastical jarisdiotiou and the accelerated pro-
cedure of the Public W^orehip act. He is the Eec-
tOr of a city church in Foster lane, Cheapside, be-
lonslDg to two parishes united — St. Vedasc and St.
Michael le Querne. He has for a long time cod-
duoted the services of what he nrobably calls " his "
church In a strongly pronounced "Roman"
style, despite the remonstrances of his con-
gregation. He used lighted candles during
the celebration of tbe Holy CommnDion,- he
wore alba, ohas-ablea, maniples, and colored
Stoles— vestments illegal in Church of England
worship; in preparing the Sacrament, he turned
toward the East; ho knelt during the Prayer of
Consecration; ho used wafer-bread, and mixed wa-
ter with the Sacramental wine ; he elevated "the
elemeuts ;" and, and, finally, he frequently made
the sign of tbe Gross, kissed the page from which
the Gospel was read, and used the biretta. Borne
of these symbolical actioDs, attltudes.aod garments
are derived fromrprimitive times, before the Chris-
tian Church was divided; others, it is clear, are
simply Roman Catholio ceremoulex. for some of
tbem have been adopted since the Keformation. No
doubt, in the eyes of Kitualists, this resem-
blance to Konae is a kind of virtue in itseif.
* * * But Lord Penzance, by his decision,
has now reminded Mr. Sale that one of the parish
churches of the national establishment is not a
kind of clerical theatre of which the Rector Is ths
sole lesaee. His decision recalls the rjgbts of two
Other important powers — the congregation through
Its Church Wardens, and Parliament, representing
tbe nation as a whole. lu July last, Lord Penzance
issued a monition warning Mr. Dale to desist from
the practices proved against him ; but the Bitnalist
priest took no notice of the Judge's order. He still
lighted hia candles, turned eastward, elevated the
elements, and aoated no jot of the elaborate " busi-
ness" he had adopted. A new appeal was, therefore,
made lO the court ; but Mr. Dale did not conde-
scend to defend himself ; he neither appeared in
person nor by coanael. It was proved tbat be had
paid no attention to the order of the Judge, where-
upon a new order was made suspending his minis-
trations for three montbs, with an intimation that
if within that time obedience was hot promised the
Inhibition would be continued.
If Mr. Dale wishes to become a martyr he will no
doubt continue to defy the law and elect to go to
prison rather than obey Lord Penzance. Tester-
day's servce, in which all the illegal ceremonial ap-
pears to have been employed as usual, and at wbich
It was distinctly declared that the Rector intends to
persist in his rebf^llion, seems to point to this con-
clusion. But the Ritualists have in no instance, as
yet, shown that kind of courage ; although they
bave gone as near as they can to open contempt of
lawful authority they have always finally yielded to
th§ positive commands of the courts. * * * This
decision will, we hope, bring tbe Ritualist revolt
to a decisive issue. We have no desire to
"out down ritualism" in itself: we simply
wish to exclude from the Church ot England. illegal
and unpopular ceremooial. Tbere id no apparent
reason wby the extreme "Catholic" party, as they
caU themselves, should not iailtate the "Old Catho-
lics" abroad, and form a Church of their own. They
say that iheir congregations are sympacbetic; if so,
they will carry their followers with ibem in their
secession. They boast that the active extension
of church builciiug during tne last ten or fifteen
years Is dne to their zeal ; m that case they can
continue the process with the greater ease. la
a new orgacizaiion they will be entirely free,
They can deviss a ceremonial as oruUte and as
elaborate aa any that Rome possesses. Nun-
neries, confessionals, prayers for the dead,
invocation of saints, confraternities, reservation of
the Sacrament, all can be established witbout the
lease fear of inteTferecce from Lord JPenzanoe. This
would be a straigntf jrward, simple, aod Uonorahle
course; but for that very reason, perhaps, it will
not be adopted. The idea cf the Ritualists is that
by sap and mine from witnin they will transform the
Church of England into tbe organization they
desire. By convenient suppression here and osten.
tatious exhibition there, by mingled audacity and
crafr,, "eking oat the hide of the lion by the skin of
the fjx,*' they will hoodwink authority where they
cannot defy it, caiolo congregations they cannot
conquer, and trust to saceritotal perseverance for
victory over laymen more easily wearied out.
HOW THE OFFENDER DEFIED THE LAW
AND THE GOVERNMKNT.
From the Manchester Examiner, Nov. 6,
Much curiosity was manitested yesterdiay at
the Church of St. Vedast, Foster lane. Cheapside,
with respect to what sort of service would be
gone through after the inhibition of the Rector,
Rev. Thomas Pelham Dale, on Friday last by Lord
Penzance, in the Court of Arches, fornot complying
with the order of tbe court to refrain from ritual,
istic practices. The morning senrlce was com-
menced at 11 o'clock, and rendtred with a good deal
of Gregorian music, and at its conclusion the can-
dles on the altar were lighted — twenty-six in all.
After an interval of flre minates the choir eang the
hymn :
" The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly-crown to gain ;
His blood-red bnnner streams afar —
Who follows la hiB train i"
While this was being sung, a procession emerged
from the sacristv iu the foUuwinif order: First came
a Toung man iu surplice, awingine aloft a thariblo
irom which cloads of incense arose, he being fol-
lowed by two acolytes bearing two tall ornamental
lighted candles. Then came the members of the
choir, in surplices, two and two, one of them holding
high a cross, and the procession was closed by Rev.
W . Armitane and the Rector, Rev. Thomas Pelham
Dale, the latter attired iu a clotn-of-gold cope, such
as is worn by Roman Catholio priests at benedic-
tioii, having on the hack a crirason-velvet tall,
with a gold embroidered cross. Mr. Armitage
wore a 'White vestment., both clergymen having
on tbeir heads the "biretta." The procession
walked round the southern side of the churon, and
up the centre passage to the "altar," tho air being
pertumed with incense. Then, bqlbro the com-
munion service was commenced, a psahn was sung
to the air of the Roman Catholic magnificat. Mr.
Dale, haying retired to the sacristy, came back to
the altar clothed in a chasuble, the same as tbat
worn by a priest at low icass. The reverend gen-
tleman then "incensed" every portion ot the altar,
and afterward tbe perfumed smoke was offered
to bimaeif by Mr. Armitage, who acted as asiistant
priest. Then began the celebration of tho Holy
Communion. Mr.'Diile. facing the congregation,
repeated the Commandments, and the lesson of ihe
day was read from tbe book, hold, after the fasbiou
of high mass, bv an attendant, and first surrounded
wUb tne smoke of the incense. In tho mi'idle of
the service, Rev. Mr, Armitage ascended the pulpit,
and spoke of how the faithful had opposed the
mighty power of JJ'ebucbadnezzar, and bow God
had delivered those who trusted in Him. From
that they ought to take comfort in their distrefis.

Bomb, Saturday, Nov. 4, 1876.
The dispute of parties upon the merits of
their candidates tot political honors is drawing
to a close, and to-morrow the electors are to
come together for a decision. I do not know
what ground oi truth there may be for such
charges, but already the party of the opposi-
tion has made aoeusations of electoral corrup-
tion. Strong language has been used, even such
as this, that an amount of undue infiuence has
been used to control votes, "not equaled by
the political corruption of parties in the United
States." The charge i? resented with indigna-
tion by the organs of the ruling power, but, ac-
cepting the accusation as an exaggerated one,
it serves at least to show 'the liveliness
of the spirit of faction, and also that
the path of ' a dubious " progress "
is entered upon. At the present
election, it is not probable tbat more than
three or four hundred thousand votes will be
oaat, as that will be as large a proportiom of
the 550,000 legal voters as is generally brought
out. If corruption exists when so few epjoy
the franchise, we do not know what argument
xjan be drawn from the fact for the encourage-
ment of the project, already stated, for a very
great extension of the suffrage. The organ of
the Ministry is in favor ot extension, and labors
to prove that there is little or no corruption at
present, while it tries to make out a bad case
for the United States, for which country it has
in general admiration. We are made to do duty
at the same time, both as an example for
warning and for imication. But Signer
Minghetti, tbe head of the Ministry a little
while ago in power, in a speech lately made
to his constituents, reiterates tbe charges.
" Public opinion," he says, " is persuaded that
never has there been an intervention so mani-
fest and a pressure so strong, exercised by the
Government as in the presesit elections." Tbe
truth will at length come out ; for party criti-
cism is active, and there is hardly any limit to
publicity. The political engine is worked at a
higher pressure than before ; but protec-
tion is assured by the safety-valve of a free
press. We are all. surprised that the Italians
have proved themselves such ready learners in
the free school of modern politics, in which the
Anglo-Saxon race haa been studying for two
centuries, and in which it has made such nota-
ble progress.
The month began with a joyous bell-ringing
to honoy the festa of All Saints, and the day
after followed the slow and mournful tolling
for the day of all the dead. From morning
until night on the 2d of November the road
leading to the great cemetery of Borne was
crowded with vehicles and people on foot, all
bending in the direction of the Campo Varano,
as the buryxng-place is called. Some carried
garlands, which are laid at least once a year
upon the graves of those whose memories are
not forgotten, and some little bottles of oil to
replenish the lamps kept burning on the days
associated with, memorable dates — whether of
birth or marriage or sepulture. I went, as
usual, this year with the throng, to study life
in this scene of death's s/mbols ; to revive old
memories, and to have awakened new emo-
tions. The aspect of surrounding nature was
in harmony with this day of the dead. The
sweet melancholy of the last months of the de-
clining year brooded over the Campagna. The
not distant lights of the Alban Mount wore a
deeper and colder purple and blue than their
wont. The winds of the mid- Autumn sighed
through the cypresses, and the changed foliage
ot the few deciduous trees of the cemetery
were lighted up with a sad smile.
Italian cemeteries, like tho French, are more
architectural than rural in their character. I
have seen none yet that resemble the charming
sylvan burying-jnaces of American cities. This
great cemetery of Borne, not more than a
mile distant from the walls, is modem, and the
columns and arches of its porticoes have not
yet any ot the solemn color which time gives,
even in this sunny climate, to structures of
Stone. The cream tint of the travestme glows
in the Bunlight, and the sharp angles almoBt
lacerate the eye. There are few or no mohu-
ments in this cemetery to distinguished deadix
Tbe period of forty years since it was laid out
has hardly given time, and Borne, for centuries
past, has not furnished to the common country
its proportion of men eminent either in science,
literature, art, or arms. The humble graves of
the multitude fill up a great part of this dead-
man's field, and we wander through a forest of
gloomy black crosses, musmg upon the saying,
uttered centuries ago, and true in the history of
all human society, "The poor ye have always
with you,"
Beside the cemetery, stands the ancient
Church of San Lorenzo, one of the most illus-
trious of the Roman basilicas, and one oi the
most intere.^iius to visit. The original church
was founded in the fifth century, and tradition
has it that the site is near tho spot where the
martyr was buried. The building, as we now
see it, 18 made up of fragments of arohiteeture
and art relics of every period, and modern
times have added decorations in fresco, repre-
senting different scenes m the life of the saint.
At the door of this church, and on the road
leading to it, numbers of beggars have a per-
manent station ; but on the day of this general
visitation, the company of them was so largely
increased that one is reminded of the good old
times of Papal rule and misrule, when on sim-
ilar occasions of fast or lesta, every raonstroe-
ity of human deformity was invited out on
paraded
Although the Italians are almost without
intormation about the Centennial Exposition,
and the condition of industrial art in the
United. States, so far as such information is
furnished by their own journals, yet ihe more
intelligent and wide-awake among them get
such hints as may be obtained by searching in
foreign newspapers, whether American, French,
Englisli, or German. I judge, by what comes
out, that, on the whole, the Italians are satis-
fied with the honors they have received at
Philadelphia, and the advantages of one sort
and another which will be brought away.
This country was almost the last to take steps
to be represented, and only began to,jnovo
when it was seen that all the world was pack-
ing up lor a vojage of art and trade enterprise
to the United States. Some discussion has
sprung up hero about, whois i;opay the expense
incurred over and above that for which pro-
vision was made by- the aiipropriatious of the
Governuient ! it is a pity that the newspapers,
by their language, labor to keep up, rather
thau ditspel, the uiusiou that the United ^tates
is a very distant country. The phrase is con-
stantly repeated, " quei lidi lontani" — those
distant shores. It was not so in tbe time of
Marco Polo, Americus Vespucius, and Cristo-
foro Colombo, any more than it is now with
the English-speaking race, who have all the
world tor country, and make it a pastime to
girdle the earth with their voyages by sea and
land. But the Italians, in numbers, are be-
ginning to be travelers by venturing beyond
the limits of their own shores.
Tents have been struck, and stakes pulled
up, and the last division of the great army of
piaceoien of the Crown is on tho march from
Florence to Kome. It is the Department of
Finance, tlie most numerous in force, and tho
last lett in the former capital of the Kingdom,
on account of lack of accommodations here.
With wives and children, and whatever else of
humanity hitched OD, Florence is to lose and
Kome is to gain 5,000 inhabitants, with bag and
baggage, household goods and gods. This cara-
van is now, day after day, tumbling into tho
" Eternal City." All the old lurniture of these
Crown servants, is brought over tho railroad
without charge, and now, between the station
and the houses of the new quarter may be
seen interminable processions of wagaiia bring-
ing domestic truck ts the places which are lo
be the future homes. The rents of houses at
Florence, with those great losses of population,
have fallen so low that it is a temptation to
loreign tamiliea to go and pass two or three
years there. We are told that the cost ot liv-
\iag. excwt in hotels, is retumme to the former
standard, and Florence under the old regime
was the paradise of low prices. There is a great
deal of or«aking and groaning among shop-
keepers and house-holders, as tho heavy Gov
ernment taxes continue, however small the
local revenues may be. For tbe improvements
made in the past ten years a heavy debt had
been incurred, which, I believe, has at last
reached the respectable sum of 150,000,000
francs.
THE EMPEROR OF BRAZIL AT TROT.
HIS majesty's SCIENTIFIC RESKARCfllS—
EXCAVATIONS EXAMINED 'wiTH DEEP
INTEREST — HIS DEEP LEARNING AND
WONDERFUL MEMORY.
Dr. Schliemann writes to the London Times
under date the Dardanelles. Oct. 17:
"Having been officially requested by the Turkish
Government to hasten to the Hellespont in order to
accompany bis Majesty Dom Pedro II. to the Troad,
I left my excavations at MyceusB on the 9th, and
arrived here on FriUay. the 13th Inst. The Em-
peror arrived on Sunday, the l5th lust., at 6:30
A. M., by the Austrian stbamer Aqnila Impenale,
of which Capt. Tercig is'the commander, in com-
pany with her Majesty the Empress, the Comtesse
de Barral, the-Wisconde de Bom Betiro, the Comts
do Gobineau, now French Ambagsador at Stock-
holm, and t Dr. Carl Henning, a young Ger-
man scholar, whose occupation is to assist
the Emperor In his solentiflo researches. The
Empress not being able to stand the fatigue of long
rides, she and the Comtesse de Barral descttded
here at the house of Mrs. Bran, where the Anstrian
Consul, Mr. N. Xantbopooloa, had prepared apart-
ments for the exalted visitors. I had the honor ot
accompanying tbe Emperor and the rest of the
party by the steamer to Koumkal6, at the mouth ot
the Soamander, where horses stood ready for all of
us. The Governor General of the Archipelago had
sent his first dragoman and political agent, N. Didy-
mos, as well as a Colonel and a Captain, with eight
gendarmes, to accompany his Majesty. In
seeing at Kanmkal^ tho very strong current
of the Hellespont, his Majesty remarked
that, were it not for this current, the allnvia of the
Scamander would long since have shat up these
Straits and united Europe to Asia by a new isth-
mus. Having left to our right the tumuli which
the tradition of antiquity indicates as tbe tombs of
Aobiliea and Patrocins, we forded the Scamander,
which has at present but little water, it not having
rained here for ten months, and went straight on to
the villago of £oum-koi, where I showed to his
Mi^esty the ancient bed of tbe Scamander, now
called Kalifatli-asuiak, and the still very deep
ancientbed of the Simois, now called Dumbrek-sou,
which formerly flowed here by a right angle into
the Scamander, whereas now, having been made to
brinch ofi' into several channels to serve nnmer-
ous water mills, it forms immense and always
impassable swamps. At HissailiK hia Majesty
examinod my excavations with the very deepest
iutu'est, and delighted title company by bis citations
frona the 'Iliad,' which he appears to know almasti
entirely bv heart. All the inflicaiions whioh Ho-
mer gives for the topography of Ilium were present
in his mind, and he found that ou the whole the
situation of Hissarlik a°:reed with tbem ; but in his
opinion, the two large springs, the soureea of the
Scamander, the one with hot, the other with cold
water, at which Hector was killed by Achilles,
w-ere necessarv to establisa theide>tity. As these
two springs of hot and cold water from whioh the
Scamander oiisfinates exist not here, but at a di;*-
tanoe of sixty miles, ntar the summit of Mount Ida,
the Emperor was reluctant to give at once bis de-
ciiion as to tbe identity of Hissarlik with the Ho-
meric Ilium. . I am quite at a loss to say which
astonished me more, tbe Emperor's deep
learning or his really wonderful mem-
ory. \Vlth reference to the dispute
as to the existence of what I call the Sceean Gate, I
had no difficulty in showing to his Majesty that a
passage to the north of the gate really exists, and
that it is blooked up, not by a wall of stones, hat
by the rubbish which I had left in situ merely in
order to prove that tbe large mansion to the north
of the gate is overlaid by a posterior pre-historio
palace, because I bad been afraid that my state-
ments would otherwise meet vrith incredulity.
When afterward we came to the sacrificial altar, and
I showed to the Emperor the remnan ts of its pedestal
of unbnrnt bricks, which had been destroyed by the
Winter rains, the remnants of the large slab with
wbich it was covered, and whioh haa been broken
by the villagers, as well as the large sacriflcial
stone, out out in form of a crescent whioh had been
rent asunder by T.liiem and lay now on the ground
half buried in the rubbish, bis Majesty was very ia-
di>;nant at the vandalism of tbe present Trojans.
Tne Emjieror was very particular in fixing by
his pocket oompass the exact direction of the paved
road which descends from the Seaman Gate to the
Plain, and he found it to be south-west by west.
What appeared to astonish his Majesty most in my
excavations was tbe euorraona augmentation of the
solitary mount of Hissarlik, which, by the house-
hold remains of five successive cities, had increased
bv53feetinhefght and by 132,265 teet in width.
After having examined and re-examined the ruins
of Hissarlik tor two hours with tbe deepest atten-
tion, thO Emperor gave the signal for our depart-
ure, and we rode across the plain, by way of Kali-
fatli, to Neochori, a villago on tbe high shore
of the ^i^an Sea, where his Majesty asked for
the shop of Mr. Constantinos Kolobos, of whom
I have spoken in Doth cf my works on Troy.
(Ithague leFUoponnise et Iroia, 1869, and Troy and
its Memains,. 18115.) Although born without legs,
he has, nevertheless, by his industry and economy,
m a small village store, aceuniulated a large for-
tune; and what is still more astonishing, he lias,
merely hy books and without a teacher, rendered
himself nia3t«r of the French, the Italian, and the
ancieat Greek langua»ea. After having conversed
with bim for some time in ITreneb and Italian, the
Emparor asked bim what his aiiDuiil benefit from
tne shop amounted to. He replied 4,000 piastres,
(£26.) His Majesty then requested him to recite
something from iiomer, and itolobos declaimed at
once with great pathos nearly the whole ot the first
rhapsody of the 'Iliad.' We proceeded thence to
Besika Bay, where the steamer Aqt^la Imperiale
was waitiBg for his Majesty. She remained there
at anchor, and next morning at 6:30 we started on
Xhorsebaok for Bunarbasbi. His Majesty is of the
opinion that'the artificial canal by which tbe rivolet
of the forty springs of Bunarbashi ts condnoted into
Besika Bay mast be of a remote antiquity, because
the imrnense plain in front of this gulf must uecea-
sarily have been formed by its alluvia. His Majes-
ty ascended the seventv-flve faet high tumalas
called Udj^Tepe, and found it very strange that
It should ever^ have been identified with the tomb
of .aijyetes, from wbich Polites, the son of Priamus,
spied when the Greeks would storm from the ships,
because it is at a distance of three hours from the
Hellespont, while With the naked oye one cannot
soe men at a distance of even half an hour. Takiag
the tumulus' diameter "at the basis at 420 feet and
lis height at 75 feet, the Emperor at once calcu-
lated that it must contain the enormous amount of
346,175 cubic feet of earth. His Majesty was much
pleased to see the forty cold swings of Bunarbasbi,
and was surprised at the detepders of the Troy-
Bunarbashi theory, who remodeled them into only
two soarces — ono cold, the other hot — in order to
sustain their Impossible theory. The pure virgin
soil between these souroes and Bunarbasbi, in
Bunarbasbi itself, and between this •^lUage aud
tho three tumuli on the Balidagn, as w^li aa ou
the pointed or abrapt and always uneqUal, rooks,
wnich evidently bave never been toucned by the
hands of man, and, finally, the total absenoo of
potsherds, proved besides to tbe Emperor that^o
human habitation can ever have been tbere. Hla^
Majesty examined with rery great interest tho
three tnmuii, one of whioh. attribntad to Hector,
has been excavated by the celebrated antbropolo-
gist. Sir John Lubbock, and found to contain pot-
sherds ot the third oentury B. C., so that the tomb
cannot claim a higher antiquity. His Majesty,
further most minutely examined the small acropolis
at the extremity of the. heights, which has for
so long a time been considered as tbe Per-
gamus of Troy, while an insoriptioa found and
pubiiifaed bv me (see my Troy and its Eemains)
proves it to be Gergis. But when his Majesty had
seen that the average depth of the acoumulation of
rabbish there does not exceed one aud a half feet,
and that it only contains fragments of Greek pot-
tery of the2d-4th century B. C; further, that none
of the walls can claim the denomination 'Cyolo-
pean'; and. finally, when he considered that the
distance of this liitle fort from the Hellespom i»
four and a half hours, while, by all the indications of
^the 'Iliad,' the distance between Ilium and the
'"Greek ships was but very small, and could not
possibly exceed one hour, he most peremptorily re-^
jected ihe Troy-Bunaroashi theory.
Atter having lunched under a tree at the forty
springs, we rode back to Besika Bay, wuere we
went, at 4 P. M., on board the Aquila Imperiale,
which, bv order of his Majesty, steameil for the isl-
and of Tenedos. We bad scarcely diaembarkod
thtre when Mr. Gersaglia, the agent of the Austri-
an Lloyd, ofl'ered himself as guide to the Emperor
and showed bim the small town of frame bouses,
containing 5.000 inhabitants, and the miserable tort,
which appears to have been built since the Turkish
occupation. On seeing here and there iu
tho pavement and in the walls frag-
ments of Hellenic sculpture, his Majes-
ty pointed to tbem and said "Tenedos must
once have been a rich and prosperous island, and
there most have been a time when the site of tbe
present wooden houses was occupied by splendid
edifices aud tbmples.' "When asl^ed by his Alajesty
whether he couid indicate to him tbe site <'f the
temple of Apollo, Mr. GiTsaglia at once pointed to
a level place aud said, 'AcCDrding to the description
which Homer gives ua of its situation, its site ia
necessarily in that place.' The Emperor heartily
laugbed, and wisely observed that Homer only once
mentions tho Island of Tenedos, and merely alludes
to a temple of Apello there by saying that this god
reigns powerfully in Tenedoe."

SILVER COLLAR OF CHAMPIONSHIP.
From the Pall MaU Gazette.
When Earl Orm was lord over South-west
Jbaneashire a dreary tract of marsh and bog lav be-
tween the kirk and town which still bear his name
and tbe strip of barren sand-bills that borders the
Irish Sea. But tillage has changed the face of the
country since tho days of the English thane; and
the low-lying flats are now green and level meadows,
intersected by open drains leading into wider
ditches, which carry their wetness Into the river
Alt, as it winds through them betwoen high em-
bankments. Tbe Summer hay crops "and
Winter foggage are further protected against floods
by earthen dykes along the principal tributary
brooks ; and at one point the drainage is assisted ,
as in Holland, by a windmill pump. On a certain
February morning overy year a great multitude of
people assembles to see the hares of this locality
coursed by sixty-four greyhounds, the elect of the
three kingdoms ; for their sixty-four nominators —
all experienced sportsmen, and ambitious of win-
ning the highest prize a'jd most coveted honor of
the doursing season — rely not, alone upon the
strength of their own kennels, Wt may bring for-
ward the' host dog that money or friendship can
procure to run for the Waterloo Cup.
In one of the large meadows a man in a redjacket
is holding two greyhounds in leash. Beyond him
a party of rustics are advancing, like a line of skir-
mishers, across a piece of rough ground. Along
the ditch which bounds one side ot the meadow
thousands upon thousands of spectators are stand-
ing like an Army on parade, its leaders, a few field-
stewarts on the other side of the ditch, dotting th e
front of Its long line. A. haro starts, and the dogs
strain after it, but their custodian runs with them
in the leash until the hare is about seventy yards
oflF, and only slips them when he is sure they
both see it. As they bound forward at their
utmost speed one outstrips the other and is
close upon nuss, when sbe suddenly turns
aside and gains a little on her pursuers. But the
swiftest of them is soon at her heels; she doubles
again and again, till at last she is seized, and the
keepers of the two dogs run up and secure them.,
The judge, the only horseman present, has been
counting the points made by eaeh dog in over-
taking, turning and catching, and a man following
him makes Known his decision by holding up a red
or white flag. Another couple of dogs are already
in the hands of tbe slipper, for their arrangement
into couples and the order of their rncning have
been decided last night after the annual club din-
ner by drawing lots. They are partially conoealed
by a low wooden screen between them and the line
of beaters. The latter slowly advance and course
after course is run until there is no more game.
The crowd now surges over the meadows
toward fresh ground. Some cross the
drains by means «f leaping-poles which have a
small wooden disk at one end to keep them from
sinking in the black ooze ; others wait f jr tho
plank-bearers with their narrow flying bridges ;
but the majority are obliged to trust to their own
agility. Every considerable ditch claims victims
from among tiie weaker-limbed, and these crawl
out again, mud-bedraggled,amid jeers and laughter.
The field stewards and their assistants having
called a halt at some watercourse, the crowd ranges
up as before on the opposite brink, and those who
have gone on too far return to its serried line, like
gooa-humored, law -abiding Britons. Bad weather
does not seem to affect their fondness for sport, for
thousands will trudge across wet meadows, leap
brimming ditches,' and stand for hours in a drizzle,
when dogs and hare are cften little more
than dim figures In tbe mist. The or-
ganization of this meeting has kept pace
with its yearly increasing attendance, and there is
seldom anv confasion. Yet. judging bv the activ-
ity of certain elements in the crowd, it does not ap-
pear that " the poor abuses of the time want ooun-
tenance." The prevalence of betting, indeed, be-
gins to threaten the best interests of cour.fing, and
we may One day have to regret that, in this as in
another national pastime, the love of spoit has been
overshadowed and cnilled by the lust of gain or
superseded by the excitement of gambtinE. The
observer iit physique will find much to note in this
assemblage : for as ozone is to carbonic acid, so are
the thews and bulk of fresh-looking farmers and
countrymen to stunted figures and pale faces trom
our factories and greatcities. In their talk, al80,may
be heard the various ascents of our niotboj; tongue ;
and everywhere the broad tones <f the English
northern counties mingle with the broader dialect
of tbe Lowland and with the brogue that grows
racier and more sonorous when an Irish dog is win-
ning. But the next couple of grevhounds are
slipped, and this hare proved to be a very strong
one, which leads them a long and exhausting chase,
and perhaps finally escapes. If not equal in endur-
ance to their Kindred of hilly districts, these large
brown hares are perhaps swifter of foot ; and when
hardened by a frosty winter, which compels them
to travel f* their food, they are by no means oaay
to catch. Although we are in populous Lancashire
they are remarkably numerous, tbanks to " tne
rusty curb of old father antio the law." And here
be it observed that the thousands of men present,
of all sorts and conditions, are enjoying the
sport equally with the landowner who preserves the
game. There is a buzz in the crowd as the favorite
trots past with her keeper to be placed in the slips.
In her course she reaches the hare first, but her
companion, a dog of no great repute, makes point
for point with her, and great is the excitement when
at last he kills. Presently carrier pigeons flutter
up from the crowd, wheel overhead, and dart away
with the news of the tavorites defeat — news which
will spread even to the ahtipodes before itTS a tew
hours old. The thirty-two winners in the first trials
are matched aealust each other according to the
order m which they ran before; and the thirty-two
losers in the flrbt trials and the sixteen losers in
the second trials run in like manner next day for
less important prizes. But fche interest of the
meeting culminates on tho third day, when the
list has been reduced to a select lew. A broad
meadow, round which the Alt curves, is the chosen
ground, and its hiah embankment is thronged with
eager spectators f icing the morning breeze that
comes straight off tho sea. Tbe remaining courses
are decided one by one, until the two greyhounds
that have vanquished all competitors are placed
together in the slips. The slipper is nervously
carsful. but at last they are oflf. Tbe hum of ex-
citement at the beginning of the course deepens
into a roar at its close, and for the next twelve
months the winner's neck is proudly encirclod with
the silver collar of championship,
ISTJtANGJil MANIFESTATION OF INSANITY.
A Massachusetts paper saya that a sad case
of sadden insanity has recently occurred at Holyoko.
Major Albert Loring went crazy Saturday night.
He labirs under tho delusion that a not is imminent,
and that he alone can save the city from distruc-
tiou. Sunday morning he marshaled sixteen tramps
who staid over night at the City H«ll, and drilled
thorn for the defense of the city. Monday he di-
rected a telegram to be sent to Gen. Sherman, call-
ing for troops, and sent notes to various prominent
citizens, warning them to remain at home, so as not
xto infuriato the mob. It is supposed that his in-
sanity was caused by political excitement.
\ KILLED UIS SCBOOLMATE.
The^ashville (Tenn.) J.nie7-(C5W4 of tfieTTfth
inst. sayS,: " A fatal difliculty occurred at Big
Spring Academy, Wilson County, Sunday morning.
It appears that on last Friday a student named
Nichols made spms humorous remarks concerning
the oratorical Style of a .young man named Cun-
ningham. From bandying words, Simdav morning,
they became involvtidin a quarrel, in v hich the lie
was passed, and ending in Cunningham's shooting
young Nichols twice. Killing him almost instantly.
Cunningham immediately left for parts unknown.
Both were students at Big^Spring Academy. Cua-
nlnghamwas only twenty y^rs old."
THREE Q OLDEN WEDDINGS.
Tbe Concord (N. H.) Monitor^ thn 15th inst
says: "About a year ago, Mrsi^ Thomas W-
Young, of this city, was present attheXgolden wed",
ding of one of her sisiers, in Massaohuaetts, and to-
day she left for Gardner, Mass., to be present at
tbe commemoration of the golden wedding of an-
other sister, which occurs to-morrow. Kext Thanks-
giving Day will also be tho golden wedding anni-
versary of a sister of Mr. Young. This is a re-
markable circuuistanc* — three golden weddings in
one family in a little over one year."
COAL SHIP BUM NED.
The burning of the ship United States has
already been reported by telegraph. The Boston
Traveller says that her commander, ('apt. George
Lunt, arrived at his home, in Eist Bostoa, Monday
morniuj, aud reports that his ship had 1,700 tons of
coal on board, taken trom Liveraool aud bound for
San Francisco. The ship made a fine passage to
Cape Horn. On the ICth of September Capt.
LuHt observed that the brass and steel around the
chronometer were black, and he ordered the steward
to burnish tho stains off, which he did. The u»it
day the bright work was as black as ever, and
shortly afterward fire was dijoovered among the
cargo att. Every precaution was taken to pre-
vent it spreading, nod the ship w»s neaded for a
bay in the vicinity of Cape Horn, with tho view of
either scuttling or beaching her. Unfortunately,
the Wind c»ino out dead ahead, with fierce snow-
squalls. On the 18(b the after hatch blew op, and
tbe iiames spread rapidly, in deflaiice cf all the
prater that could be pumped into the hold. Still ail
hands worked with untiring energy, promptly
obeyiug every order. Fortunately the British ship
Yarmouth, Capt. Henry, fell in with her, and after
considerable nsk and trouble sucoeeded in saving
all hands. Capt. Lnnt was the last man to leave
the ship, whieh was then in flames fore . and aft in
tbe between decks, with tbe pilch boiling oat of
the ssaws oi tho aides and upper deck. The Tar-
znot^th landed all huida la SAietT at Callao Oct. 18..

MISTAKEN FOB BUEGLAB8.
TWO' BROTHERS SHOOT BACH OTHER, AND
^ ONE 18 FATALLT IN;^0BBD.
^ The Allegheny (Penn.) Mail says: "Avery
sad affair oocurred at about 2 o'clock this morning,
at the family resldeno* of George E, Riddle, Esq.,
President of the Prartklin Savings Bank in this
city, and ex-momber of the Legislature, by which
two of his sons were acoideatally shot, one of
whom is thought to be fatally injured. The fami-
^ resides at Sprlngdale, an the West Ponusvlvaata
Kailroad, about sixteen miles from this city.
At the hoar mentioned different members of
the family wero aroused by the noise of
burglars, who were evidently trying to effect
an entrance into tho double-brick mansion. They
were disiinotly heard conversing outside, and, to
frnstrste their designs, the male portion of the
house armed themselves with revolvers and shot-
guns and prooeedod to isvostigate. One version of
the afiair has it that four of the sons duly armed, by
a pre-arranged agreement to go in a body, started
out of tbe front door. Joseph, who is one of the
victims, retnrnod to the house for the pur
pose of getting his hat, and forgetting in tho mo-
ment of the eieitemont to follow the othws, ho ab-
sent-mindedly proceeded out of a rear door to join
his brothers. At that hour of the morning It was
very dark, and when Joseph came around the side
of tne house he was naturally taken for one of tbo
burglars. Before an>-explanation eould be made,
Edward discharged hii revolver at Joseph, the ball
entering his lett breast and penetrating his lungs.
Joseph also was under tho impression that the -par-
ties before him wore burglars when he heard tho
click of the revolver, and siraultaneously with the
report of tbe first shot he discbarKOd tbe load in
his shot-gun, which took effect in the thigh of hia
brother Edward, making a flesh wound. It is not
pronounced dangerous, while the injuries sostatned
by Joseph Itlddle are of a senons character. When
it Was ascertained what a terrible mistake had been
made, tho scene was indescribable. The other two
brothers escaped injury, and the wounded ones
were properly 4»red for. Dr. Mowry, of this city,
was immediately sent for, and arrived about 6
o'clock. He had not left their bedside at last ac-
counts. Another veraioa of the lamented oocnr-
rence Is to the effect that tho shooting transpired
,in the house, both of the brothers acciaentally tak-
ing each other for burglars, while making their exit
from different rooms.
A OONDUOTOB SHOT BT TRAMPS.
■ The XJleveland (Ohio) Leader of the I3tb
inst. says : " Yesterday about noon a ud and
probably fatal shooting affair oocurred at Shelby, In
this State. Three tramps aboard of a freight train,
eoning fr^ Columbus to Cleveland on the C. C. C.
and L Bailroad, refused to pay fare when reqaest-
ed to do 80 by the^ondmctor, Cornelius H. CralL
The tramps also refused to leave the train. Seeing
tbat tbey wero boat pn having a ride. Mr. Crall
took tho cap from the hfi^ of one of them. T^is be
kept, and wheu the train arrived at the depot
in Shelby, ha left the train with the inten-
tion of going to the dlaing-room to get scHne
refreshments. Caking tho cap with him. As be
stepped from the cara ho was followed by the
tramps, one of whom walked \;ip to him whei in
front of the eating-room, and took\hi8 iCrall's] hat
off Then ensued a scaf9.», durmg, which each of
the three roughs drew a revolver ahd fired. Two
of tko balls missed the ooaduotor, botxttae third one
entered his body in the region of the heart, inflict-
ing a wound which it is thought will prove fatal.
As loon as the firing was over tb^ tramps
t-ook to flight, but were promptly followed,
and. In the course of tho afterneoo, arrested
and lodged in jail at Bbelby, after \ the
wounded man had pointed out the one who fired
the probably-fatal shot. Immediatnir after the
affair surgeons were called to attend the unforta-
nate man, and a telegraphic dispatch sent to MrsX
Crall at their home in this city, iaformmg her of
the occurrence. She went to Shelby fast eyening.
Mr. Crall has been in tho employ of the Cleveland,
Colnmbns, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Bailroaa
Company for about a dozen years, durimg seven of
which he has held the position of freight conductor
to the Batisfaotion of hia employers."
INJUSTICE IN THE BRITISH ASMT.
Col. Shaw, the officer in command of a
depot brigade, in England, has jnst had to adjudi-
cate in a novel dispute between one of the subaltern
officers of his brigade and a gunner, who wa|s em-
ployed as the said ofiicer's regimental servant. The
latter applied to Mr. Balguy, at Woolwich Police
Court, for advice, a few days ago, saying that his
master, who had lost his umbrella from his quarters,
insisted on holding him responsible. This he felt to
he a disgrace to him and his family, and.
hepidg that hia long service and good
conduct would entitle him to consideration
be appealed to tbe Major of his battery for redress.
The Major, however, took the part of tbe officer, and
not only treated the applicant as a thief, but stopped
twenty-five shillings trom his pay and gave it to
the omoer as compensation for hia lost umbrella.
Mr. Balguy sympathised with the applicant, bat
would not advise him to take proceedings against
bis officer, lest that proceeding might savor of in-
sabordination. Ue recommended him to lay the
case before the commanding oficer of his brigade,
and this having been done ttx» Major of the battery
has been ordered to repay the money deducted, and
both he and the man's' master have been reproved
for their proceeding, it being a rule of the service
that no soldier shall be punished until he is for-
mally charged and convicted.
SMALL FARMS.
The Springfiald (Mass.) Republican says:
" The real estate agents note a remarkable and
steadily increasing demand for small farms, worth
from.$l,200 to $3,000, whilo large and bigh-nriced
farms are much leas sought for. Ths meobanios
aud laborers, whose waives have been steadily re-
duced for the last two years, form the majority
of the purchasers, and we fancy most of them will
find that tbe reductions have not been confined to
the city. Piobably half of these people have not
folly counted the cost, and will be glad enough to
getoack to tho city after the novelty has worn off;
■while thoise who go to their new avooation with s
determination to work hard, and make tbe cuing a
success at all hazards, will be pretty sure to stay.
A notable instanoo of the rapidity with which some
of tbe former class change, is to be I'oand in a amall
Worcester County farm, near the Boston and
Albany road, that haa been sold ten times within
twelve years."
ROBBED ON THE CABS.
A daring robbery oecurred on the oars in
Syracuse, Mhnday night, whioh proved quite a dis-
aster for the robbed man, whose name is Joseph
Buntze, a German. A gang of men surrounded
Buntze as the train was goinsr into Syracuse, and
picked his pocket of about $400. The German de-
tected them, and struggled with his assailants. In
the m616e Buntze was knocked or thrown off the
car, and the wheels passed over his foot, crushing
it. Tho police were informed of the matter, and a
man named Lew Davis was arrested with f280 in
his possession.
THE INCONSISTENq^T OF IT.
The Burlington (Iowa) ffawk-Eye thinks it is
a touching comment upon the hoUowness of human
declarations, to see the man who is groaning be-
cause he sees the counrry going to the bow-wows
on account of the dishonor and eorruption of its po-
litical leaders, innocently stapd on the scales while
eighs a load of coal for a customer.
CEY MD SUBURBAN NEW
NOT DEAD.
A telegram from Chicago, 11th inst, says:
"This morning's papers published a report that
Gen. J. C. Black, defeated Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Fourteenth Illinois District, died
yesterday, and mtide most complimentary mention
of his gallant services as a Union soldier during
the rebellion. It is learned to-night, however, tbat
he IS not dead — in fact, is. recovering from a danger-
ous pbysical condiiion In which he has .been, aud
which gave rise lo the rumor of his death."
LONG ISLAND.
♦
On Wednesday night while a number ot
young Democrats of IlicksvUe were showing their
enthusiasm at the supposed election of Tilden by
flijng salutes in the vicinity of Rev. Mr. Mor-
ley's residence, a bullet nessad through a winnow
nud lodged in the wall a few inches from the rever-
end gentleman's head. Had he been sitting in his
accustomed si'at he would doubtless have been
killed. There is some suspicion that the shot was
Dot aacideutal.
Some of the Democrats in Northport have
gone to an unwarrantable length in expressing
their disapprobation of the course of Kev. Mr.
Simpson, Pastor of one of the churches there. Upon
going to his door, a few evenings ago, he found that
a letter had been pushed under it, of whieh the fol^
lowing is an exact copy : •' Mr. Simpson you ^— '
black republican had better get out of thin plaie
quick or some nite yon will be waited on by
those as wi>l make it very hot for you— you
black republican churches had ought to be sot flro
and I hope to see the day wuen it will be dun you
have got some democrats in your church and you ,
wont get any more support from tbem and if that'
•will not stop you will give you something aa wiU.

of such an institution. The ediflce and furniture
cost about twenty-two thousand dollars. Tho

"Passa quel colli, e vieni allegramento
'SuTL ti cnrar di tanta eompagnia;
Vieni, pensando a me seeretamenta,
Ch'io t' accompagna per tntta la via."
Among all the preserves new my country
bonae, the one I most frequented was the
wooded plaia that anrroonds the villajre of
Ghimoe, in the centre of finasia. It is near
this Tillage that are foand the plaoea for game
in OUT district. After I had beaten all
tiie covers, and tried all the neighbor-
ins fields, I generally plunged into a
fen hard bv, and thence returned to my kind
liost the stourosta, or Mayor, of Glinnoe, at
whose house it was my habit to stay. It ia not
more than two verstoa from the fen to Glinnoe ;
the road for the moat part crosses a flat plain ;
aad it is only half way that one comes on a
little hill which must be surmotinted. On the
top ot this hill stands a solitary manor-house,
Tuunhabited, with a garden, it so happened
that I nearly always passed this place when
the blaze of the setting sun was at its height,
and I remember that the house, with its fast-
fllosed shatters, always gave me the isopression
<^an old blind man come there to warm him-
self m the sun ; sdch a poor ereature as sits by
tile wayside. It is long since the light of the
•na has passed for him into eternal darkness ;
.yet he feels its heat on his withered face with
its wriukled cheeks. One would haye said
that for a number of - years this > house
liad been uninhabited ; \ one wing • only,
-looking on the conrt, « was the ? dwell-
ing of a decayed old man, a freed
serf, whose tali figure was bowed with age,
and whose expressive face struck me. He was
generally seated on a bench in front of the one
window ot his abode, looking into the distance,
lost in melancholy refieotion. When be saw
me he would raise himself feebly, and bow to
me with that slow gravity that marks the old
a^rvants belonging to the generation not of our
Others, but of our grandfathers. This old
man's name was Loukianitoh. (son of Lucas.)
I talked with him sometimes,* but he was very
ebary of liis words. All I learned was that the
habitation Belonged to the granddaughter of
'His former manorial lord. This lady was' a
(Widow, who had a younger sister ; both lived
- in a foreign town, and never visited their
Mtate. As for him, well, all be hoped to see
waa the end of his career, "for," said he,
"chewing, always chewing your bread, that
gets dull and tiresome, especially if yoa have
lieen chewing it a long time."
; A particularly line day's sport once kept me
llater than usual in the fields. The last traces
«f the day had vanished, the moon shone out
fnll, and night had long taken up her place, as
people say, in the sky, when I drew near the
house. 1 had to pass the length of the garden;
avast silence reigned all around. I crossed
the wide roda ; crept carefully among the
diuty nettles, and leaned against a low paling,
Before me lay stretched in stillness tho little
garden, lighted up, and. as it were, drowsy
naOer the silver rays of tho moos, lull of per-
feme and moisture. Designed in an old-fash-
ioned taste, it formed but one square. Little
straight paths Joined each other in the very
, oeatre, and ended in a round bed co^erered with
■tarwort buried in thick grass. Tall linden-
trees surrounded the garden with a uniform
border, which was broken in one spot by a
Tiata of five or six little arches, through whioU
one saw half of a low house and two windows,
la which I was astonished to see a light. Young
apple-trees grew at intervals over the even
^ound; and athwart the slender branches
one saw. cast over the sleeping blue . of tho
heavens, the quiet gleam of the moon. A faint
aneven shadow lay on the pole grass at tne
£oot of every apple-tree. The^ lindens flourish-
ed in disorder, bathed, en one side only of the
garden, ma pale still light; on the other side
they stood blaek and thick. A strange re-
itraiBed murmnr rose from time to time out of
the tufted leaves *, one would hav« said thay
were trying to call to wayfarers, to allure them
toider (heir shade. The whole sky was sown
with stars, whioh seemed to look fixedly at the
iiar<off earth. Little delicate clouds passed at
moments over the moon, and for an instant
transformed her peaceful brillianey t* a trans-
^Ooent vapor. The languid balmy air was

leaned over the polinf; bef!»|»
t]i« thick grass; a groat drop af night
dew shown with a hsary lustre m the
4opth of ths open flower. All was slumberous
with a soft drowsiness around me ; all things
seemed to stretek toward the heavens, to
dilate, to wait in stiihiess.
What was it that this warm waking night
awaited! It waited for a sound; this oabn
attention waited for a living voice; but all
was hushed. The nightingales had long ceased
their singin«. The sudden hum of an insect
as it flew through the open, the light rustle of
a tiny fish in the pond behind the lindens, the
dulled chirp of a bird stirring in its sleep, a
faint and confused cry in the fields, so far off
'that one's ears coidd not mark if it was the call
of a human voice or the moan of a beast, now
and again a liurrjed and uneven step resound-
ing on the road— all these faint sounds, all
these murmurs only redoubled tho silence.
My heart was seized with an indefinable
feeling, like the expectation, or. it might be, the
memory of happiness; I dared not stir. I
looked mechanically at the two faintly-lighted
Windows, when suddenly a chord was struck
in the house and rolled on like a wave repeated
by a sonorous echo. I shuddered involuntarily.
Alter this chord a woman's voice was heard.
* • * I listened eagerly. What was my
surprise I I had heard two years before in
Italy, at Sorrento, that same air, that same
voice. * * • Yes. » * * Yes.
"Tleni, pensando a mo segretameate. * * *"
It was the very same; I recognized the
music. This was how I heard it for the first
time: I was returning home after a long walk
on the sea shore. I walked quickly up the
street. It was night — a magnificent southern
night; not calm and gravely thoughtful,
like the ' nights of Russia, but full of
sparkle — soft and splendid as a woman
rejoicing in the flower Of her ago. The moon
spread as powerful ligHt; the ghtter of great
stars streamed over the dark blue sky ; black
shadows stood out clear en the yellowish light
that flooded the earth. The stone walls of the
gardens rose on each side of the street ; the
orange-trees overhung them with their bent
branches ; at one time one hardly distin-
guished the golden globes of heavy fruit that
the thick leaves covered ; at another one saw
them spreading in their priae to the rays of the
moon. A fleece of flowers hung soft on many
of the trees ; the air was filled with penetrating
scents — something heavy, yet ineffably sweet.
I walked on, and I must confess that, used as I
was to all these splendors, I l^hought of nothing
but reaching my hotel as soon as I could, when
suddenly a woman's voice resounded in one of
the little pavilions built against the inolosure-
wall along whioh I was passing. This woman
was singing a ballad unknown to me ; but
there was in her voice something so attractive,
it accorded se well with the passionate ioyous
hope expressed in the words of the sontr,
that I stopped involuntarily and raised my
head. The pavilion had two windews, but the
blinds were down, and through the aarrow
ehmks there scarce escaped a pale glimmer.
After having twice repeated " Vieni, vieni,"
the voice faded away ; 1 heard a slight vibra-
tion of strings, as if a guitar had fallen on the
ground ; there was the rustling of a dress ; the
floor oraekled slightly. .The blinds creaked on
their hinges and opened. I made a step back.
A tail woman, dressed all in white, leaned her
beautifdl head out of the window, then stretch-
ing her hand toward me, said to me, '' Sei tu ?"
I kn«w not what to answer ; but at that mo-
ment the unknown started back with a faint
cry, the blind closed, and the light disappeared.
The face ot the woman who had appearea to
me in sueh a sudden fashion was of incompar-
able beauty. She passed too quiekly before my
eyes to give me time for exatnining each
feature in detail ; but the general impression
whioh remained with me was strong and deep. I
felt then that 1 should never forget thf^t face.
The moon fell on the wall of the pavilion and
on the window where she had appeared to me.
How magnificently her dark eyes shone in the
light I How thick were the waves of blaek
hair which fell, halt-unfastened, on her rounded
shoulder's! what modest softness was there in
the gentle lines of her figure ! wliat a caressing
tone in the hurried yet senorous whisper she
had addressed to me I I retreated into the
shadow of the opposite wall, and stayed there,
with my eyes lifted to the^ pavilion, with a sim-
pleton's expectation and perplexity * * *
I listened with sustained attention. At one
time I thought I heard a light breathing be-
hind the half-illuminated window, at another a
Mnd of rustling and a stifled laugh. At last
the sound of footsteps came from the
distance ; a man about my own height
appeared at the end ot the street. He
walked quickly toward a little door that I
had not ohserved, near the pavilion, gave two
knocks without turning round, and sung under
his breath, *• Eceo ridente." The little door
opened, and he stealthily crossed its threshold.
I shrugged my shoulders, and with my hat
over my eyas went home in a bad humor.
Next day I passed two hours in the heat of
the day iu walking up and down the street
with vhe pavilion, but without any result. The
same evening I left Sorrento, without even vis-,
iting TasBo's bouse.
One can imagine my surprise at hearing
again the. same voice, the same Bong, iu the
midst-of the steppes in one of the moat barren
parts of Russia. Now, as then, it was night ;
now, as then, the voice came suddenly from a
little room lighted up and previously unob-
served; now, as then, I was alone. My heart
beat quickly. " Am I not dreaming 1" I said to
myself. And just then again resounded the
last " Vieni." * * » Will the window open ?
Will a woman appear ? * * * The window
does open. A woman is seen at it.
I recognized her in an iiistaut, in spite of the
thirty paces which parted us, in spite ©f the
light oioud which obscured the moon. It was
she— my unknown of Sorrento ; but she did
not, aa before, stretch her bare arms toward
me. tihe kept them gracefully crossed, and
leaning on the window-sill, silent and motion-
less, she looked into the garden. She was
draped as before, in a wide white robe. She
gave me the idea of greater strength than she
had at Sorrento. Everything about her
breathed the , calmness of assured love, the
triumph of beauty that rested in happiness.
She stayed long immovable, then looked back
into the room, and rising suddenly, cried thrice
in a penetrating and sonorous voice, " Addio 1"
ir the poiinf; befi»xs,m». jk i '• No'one'lcnowa." *^
raised i,iMx«t»l«k*i itam ila«l i *' A« Huol ylok f» ^
These delicious words resounded into the far
distance ; their vibration lasted long, and
grov^ina faint by degrees, died away under'
the lindens m the garden and in the fields,
close to me and ad around. For some in-
stants everything near me Was penetratea
with this woman's voice ; everythine vibrated in
answer and seemed filled with its tones. She
shut the window and m a moment the heuse
was dark again.
As soon as I regained my self-possession,
which I confess took some time, 1 went quickly
along the garden wall, aopioaohed the cloaed
door, and looked over the inclosure. Thero
was nothing unusual to be seen iu the court-
yard, but a carriage stood in a eorner under a
penthouse. Its lore-psirt was covered with
dried mud, which showed white like chalk iu
the moon's rays. The blinds of the
house were, as usual, shut. I forgot to say
that I had not been at GlinnoB for eight days.
I walked for more than half an hour along the
inclosure, and at last attracted the attention
of an old watch-dog, who, without barking,
fixed his half-open eyes on me with a singular
irony. I understood' his meauius aud went
away. I had hardly gone half a verste, when I
heard behind me the tramp of a horse. A few
iiiomeuts afterward a horseman passed at
a quick trot ; he turned toward me with a swift
movement, but the peak of his cap drawn down
to bis eyes oaly let me see a well-lookintj mus-
tache and an aquiline nose. Ue disappeared
quickly in the forest. That ia be, tueul 1
thought, and my heart beat in a strange iashiuui
It seemed to ino as if I recognized him, aud iu
truth his lace did recall to me that of the
man whom 1 bad seen 'enter the little garden-
e,ate at Sorrento. Half an hour afterward I
reached Glinnoe, waked up niy host, and im-
mediately questioned him aa to the new occu-
pants of the house hard by. Ho answered
sleepily that the proprietors had just arrived.
'• What proprietors V' 1 asked, impatiently.
"Every one knows what — the owners," he
answered in a drawling voice.
" What owners 1"
"Every one knows what owners."
" Russians V
" What should they be ? Eussians, to be
sure."
" They are not foreigners, then !" I
" What H What did you sav ?"
" Have they been here long f"
" Not long ; every one knows that."
•* Do they mean to stay *"
" Ah ! as to that^we. can't tell. They may
very welt be rich.''
" Did not a gentleman come with them 1"

" Yes."
The starosta sighed. ," Ah 1 a seigneur I " ho
said, yawning, " No, Sir. no. I don't think so.
* * * Can't tell," ho.addea suddenly.
" What are the neighbors who live near
here 1"
" AH kinds of neighbors."
" Ail kinds i But what are their names ? '
" Whicii ? The x'^'oprietors or the neigh-
bors ? "
" Tho propri(!tor8."
The starosta sighed again. " What are
iheir uatncs ? " he muttered,, " God knows.
The oldest, 1 tliiuk, is named Anna-PCsdorovna,
As for the other * * no * ** I don't know."
" Weil, what is their family name ? "
" Good Lord ! I don't know."
" Are they young ? "
'• The youngest must be, I should think,
over forty,"
" You are raving 1 "
The starosta held his peace. As I knew by
experience that ■\vben a Russian takes
to answering m a certain way you can
get no more reason out of him, and as I
saw besides that my bost had only just
gone to bed, and nodded at every answer,
opening his eyes in childike assonishmont and
making an effort to part his lips, dinged with
the honey ot a first sleep, I waved my hand to
him. and, refusing hia ofler of supper, I went to
my room.
I found it difficult to sleep. " Who is she V
I constantly asked myself. " Is she a Russian?
If she is, why does she speak Italian? Tlje
starosta savs she is past her youth — but that is
raving. * * * And who is that man? » * *
Weil, there is nothing ''to be made ot it.
* * * But what a strange ooineldence ! Is
it possible that twice running — ? » * » i ab-
solutely must find out who she is, and why she
is here."
Agitated with such contused thoughts I went
to sleep late, and my slumber was troubled
with strange dreams. I thought I was wan-
dering in a desert under the heat of the
midday sun ; suddenly I saw crossing the yel-
low burning sand stretched before me, the mark
of a long shadow, and, raising my head, \I see
her, my beauty, tt^'ing through the air. She is
robed all in white ; her long wings are white ;
she calls me. 1 long to follow her, but she
floats far away, light and swift, and I cannot
radae myself Irpm earth. * » » i vainly
stretch my hanus. " Addio / " she calls to me
as she flies away. " Why have you no wings 1
* * * Addio ! " And then on all aides re-
sounds addio ; every grain of sand repeats and
cries to me addio. That i thrilled through
me like a shrill overpowering shake. I looked
for her ; but already she seemed like a tiny
cloud and rose slowly to the sun, which
stretched long golden fays toward her. Soon
these rays enveloped her, and she vanished,
vapor-lilie, while I shouted like a madman,
" This is not the sun ! This is not the sun ! It
is an Italian who has given the creature a pass-
pprt to Russia ! I will denounce it. 1 have
seen it stealing oranges in a garden."
In another dream I seemed to be traversing iu
great haste a steep and narrow path. Some
undefined unhoped happiness awaited me.
Suddenly an enormous rock rises before me. I
look for a passage, and find none either to right
or left. At the same instant a voice is heard
behind the rock : passu quei colli. * * * This
voice attracts me — agaiu it calls me. I strug-
gled paintidly, I sought for even the smallest
little outlet. In vain I On every side ia a wall
of perpendicular granite. JPassa quei colli, re-
peats the voice mournfully. JJesperate, I
hvirl myself forward against the black rook
and impotently tear at it with my nails. A
dark passago opens suddenly ; 1 am on the
point of rushing into it ; " Scoundrel! " cries a
voice, ''you shall not pass." I looked up:
Loukianitch is before me threatening me and
brandishing his arms. I dive into my pockets

empty. " Loukianitch," I say, "let me pass,
1 will reward you 'another day." "You are
mistaken, Senor," replies Loukianitoh, while
hia face assumes a strange expreaBion, " I am
no serf; behold in me Don Quixote de la
Mancha, a knight arrant of faine. All my life
have I aought.my Dulcinea and have never found
her; I will not let you find yours." * * * Passa
queli colli, again repeats the voice with a sob.
"Make way, Senor," I cry furiously, on the point
of grappling with him, but the knight's long
lance strikes me right iu the heart. * * * 1

my back, I could not stir a finger when she
came in, a lamp in her hand. She raises it
gracefully above her head, looks round her in
the darkness, and, coming cautiously near,
bends over me. " It is he — it is that idiot! "
she says with a seornful laugh. " Here is he
who would know who I am ! " And the burn-
ing oil from the lamp falls straight on the
wouna in my heart. " Psyche!" I cried in ter-
ror. And I woke.
I passed the' whole night in these strange
dreams. The next day I rose before dawn. I
dressed " quickiy, took my guH, aud went
towards ine house,
so great that the
gray when I arrived
bled around me; the
birch-trees; but in the
Even^the dog was snoring behind the inclo
sure. In that anxiety of waiting, which
amounts to rage, I began to pace the dew-cov-
ered grass and to look ceaselessly at the little
low house which held within its walls this
mysterious being. Suddenly tho little door
' creaked faintly and opened. Loukianitch ap-
peared on the threshold. I thought his long
face looked more ill-humored than usual. He
seemed astonished to see me, and wauted to
shut the door again immediately.
" My friend 1 my friend!" I cried eagerly.
*' What do you want of mo at this early
hour V he answered in a dull voice.
"Tell me — they say your mistress has ar-
rived 1"
Loukianitch was silent a moment. " She has
arrived," said he.
" Alone i"
" With her sister."
"Did they not have some visitors yester-
day?"
" No." He drew the door toward him.
" Wait an instant. Be so good "
Loukianitch coughed and shivered with cold.
" What is it that you want ?" he asked.
" Fray tell me how old is your mistress? "
Loukianitch looked a» me defiantly
old is my mistress? I don't know. She
be past forty."
"Past forty? And her sister ?" '
fr "About forty,''
• "Indeed! Is she pretty?" i
;* "Who— the sister?"
"Yes; the sister."
Loukianitch smiled : " 1 don't know what
others may say ot her ; I think her ug!y."
"What!"
" She has a bad carriage, and she's what
you call thin."
" Indeed ! And no one else has arrived here?"-
" No one. Who else could arrive here ?"
" But that connot be. I—"
" Ah I it seems one will never have done
with you, master,'' replied the old man in a
vexed tone. " How cold it is 1 I wish you good
day."
■' Wait — wait — here is something for your-
self." And I held out to him a coin which I had
ready; but the door shut violently, striking
against my hand. The coin fed. and rolled at
my feet.
" Old rascal!" thought I. " Don Quixote de
la Manclia ! It seems you have had your orders
to keep silence, but you shall not deceive me."
I made up my mind to clear up the mystery,
whatever it might be. For some time 1 knew
not on what to determine. Finally 1 decided
to ask in the village who owned the house, aud
who, m fact, had arrived. "My unlmowTi must
at last come out of the house," I said to myself,
. " and I shall see her by daylight, close, like a
living woman, not like au apparition." Iho
village lay about a verste distant, and I turned
thither at once at a rapid iiaoe. A strange
emotion was working in me aud gave me cour-
age; and the bracing cold of the morning" re-
vived me after my agitated night.
Iu the village two peasants, who were re-
turning from the fields, told me all I could
learn from them. The liouse, like tho yillugo
1 had just entered, bore the name of Michiill-
ovakoc ; they beloiiged to the widow of
a Major, Anua-F(5dorovna Chlikof ; she
had au unmarried sister, wIjo was
called P6iagie-F6dorovna Badaef ; they were
both elderly aud rich ; they hardly over lived
iu the house ; they wore always traveling ; they
had with them ouly two servants and a cook.
AunaFddorovua Chlikof had come back tho
day before trom Moscow, accompanied only by
her Bister. This last assertion surprised me
much. 1 could not suppose that tho peasauts
had been ordered to keep siienee about my mi-
knowu. But it was alsd impossible to admit
that Anna-Federovna Chiikol, a widow ,.of
forty-five, and the beautiful woman whom 1
had seen the day before were one and the same
peroon. AocordLug to the description 1 had,
P61agio Badaef was no more distiuguiahed for
beauty ; aud theu at the very thought that the
womanl had seen at Sorrento could be called
P61agio, and even Badaef, I shrugged my
shoulders and laughed ill-temperedly. "Yet
I saw her yesterday in that house," I thought.
Irritated, furious, but more fixed than ever ia
xuy roaolutien, I thought of returning to the
house.
I looked at my watch ; it was not yet six. I
My impatieuce was

was still asleep, and that I should only use-
lessly excite suspicion by wandering around the
house so early ; besides, I saw the covers
stretching before mo, and behind them a wood
of aspens. I must hero do myself justice, aud
declare that this feverish excitement had not
extinguished in me the noble loye of sport. It
may be, I thought, that I shall put up some
black game to help me pass the time. I went
into the uuderwo.id. Truth compels me to
say that I still walked carelessly, and without
any respect for the rules of sport. I neither
kffpt my eyes constantly on mv dog, nor beat
tho thick cover in the hope of a bird getting
up ; I ccmsulted my watch ceaselessly, which
was undoal)tedly a worthless proceeding. My
watch at length pointed to nine. " It is time." I
cried aloud, and was already retracing my
steps to go to the house, when a splendid cock
got up through the tuftod grass, flapping his
wings close to me. I shot at him, aud struck
him untJerthe wing. He did not fall at once,
on the contrary, lie recovered himself, turned
to the wood, and fluttering along the ground,
tried to raise himself over the first aspens,
which bordered the wood ; but soon he grew
weak, and fell, turning round and round, in the
thicket. To neglect such a treasure would
have been really unpardonable ; 1 started iit
once on tho track of the wounded bird, and
went into the clump of trees. After a lew" mo-
ments 1 heard a plaintive clucking iollowedby
a noise of wings ; it was the unlortunate cock
struggling uudor my dog's paws. I picked him
up, aud put liini in rny game-bag ; then rising,
I looked around — 1 stood rooted to the spot !
The wood where I was was very thick. A
little way off was a narrow, winding road, and
along this road, riding side by side, came my
unknowu, aud tho man who had passed me
the day before. I knew him by his mus-
taches. They went at a walkiiig pace, in
silence, and holding each other's hands. The
horses' long necks moved to aud fro iu a grace-
ful measure. Restored from my first terror, (I
can give no other name to the leeling which
suddenly possessed me,) I watched her. How
beautiful she was ! This radiant apparition
came as by enchantment to meet me in the
midst of an emerald foliage. Soft shadows,
tender reflections, hovered about her — on, her
long gray habit ; ou he* delicate neck, slightly
bowed; on her face, ot a gentle rosy tint; on
her black and glisteuing hair,' which floated
under her little' low hat ; but how can I de-
scribe the expression of happineiss, complete
and passionate, even to ecstasy, that breathed
through her features ? Her head seemed bent
under some sweet burden ; soft golden sparks
glittered in her d.arkeyes, half covered by their
long lashes. They were fixed on nothing, these
happy eyes; and over them bent her finely-
marked eyebrows. A smile, uncertain and
childlike, the smile of a deep joy, played on her
lips. One would have said excess of happiness
fatigued her, and made her slightly languid, as
a flower la opening sometimes weighs down its
stem. Her hands nung idle, one iu the hand of
the man who accompanied her, the other on her
horse's neck.
I had time to see her, and I saw him too. He
was handsome and well made; with a face that
did not look Russian. - He looked at her openly
and gayly, and his admiration was not wtthout
a touch of pride. He struck me, too, as being
very well pleased 'with himself ; not impressed,
not humble enough. To be sure what man de-
serves such devotion ? what soul, even the
noblest, could have had the right to make an-
other soul so happy? It must be confessed I
was jealous.
I'he two however came opposite to me. My
dog suddenly leaped into the road and began to
bark. The unknown trembled, turned quickly
back, and, seeing me, struck her horse's neck
hard with her riding-whip. The horse neighed,
reared, stretched out both ' lore-feet
and -went off at • a gallop. The
man instantly spurred hia mount, aud
when, a few seconds later, I came out of the
wood, I saw them both galloping across coun-
try in the golden distance, well back in their
saddles. * * * They galloped in a direction
away from Michiiilovskoe. I followed them
with my eyes. They soon disappeared behind
the hill, alter I had seen them clearly marked
against the horizon line. I waited ; then I
went slowly back to the forest and sat down
on the road, my eyes closed, wy forehead be-
tween my hands.
I have observed that, after meeting people
one does not know, it is caiough to shut one's
eyes to see their futures immediately present
to one's thought. Auy one can verify the
truth of this remark. The more oue knows
people's faces the harder it is to recall them,
the vaguer is the impression loft with one. One
can never see one's own face iu one's mind's
eye. Oue knows well the smallest de-
tails of feature, but one cannot im-
agine their combined effect. I sat down
theu and covered my eyea, and immediately
saw my unknown and her companion, their
harses, aud all about them. Tne young man's
smiling face especially reproduced itself with
great precision. 1 began to contemplate it ; it
grew obscure, and was finally lost in a reddish
distance, and her face too vanished, and would
not reappear. I got up : " Well," 1 said, " it
remains to find out their names." To find out
their names ! What a misplaced and futile cu-
riosity. But I protest it was not curiosity that
consumed me: it grew to bo really impossible
that 1 should not iu the end find out at least
•who they ■were, after late had so strangely and
obstinately brought me in contact with them.
Besides, I felt no longer my first impatience of
uncertainty ; this uncertainty had changed
into a vague and mournful feeling, for which I
blushed a little. I was undoubtedly jealous.
I took no further haste to return to the house.
I must confess I was ashamed of trying to fa-
thom others' secrets. Besides, the appearance
of this loviug couple iu open day and sunlight,
unexpected and strange as it was, had, so to
speak, cooled me without calming me. 1 no
longer found in this adventure anything
supernatural or marvelous, anything like a
dream that could not be realized.
The sun had riseu high over the horizon (my
watch marked midday.) AVhen I returned to
the house I walked slowly. The little low
house appeared at length on the top of the bill ;
my heart began agaiu to beat — 1 drew near —
1 marked with a secret pleasure that Louki-
anitch'-was, as before, immoyable on his bench
before the little inhabited wing. The door and
the blinds were both shut.
"Good day, old man," I elillod to him from
afar. " You have come' out to warm yourself
in the sua." Loukianitch turned his lean face
to me and silently lifted his cap. " Good day,
old man, good day. What I" 1 went on, sur-
prised to see my new coin lying ou tne ground.
" You have not picked that up."
"I saw it well enough," ho answered ; "but
that money is not mine, aud that is why I did
not pick it up."
" What au original you are," I replied, not
without some embarrassment.
Picking up the coin I offered it to him again.
" Come take it, it will buy you tea."
"I thank" you," replied Loukianitch with a
quiet smile, " I do not want it ; lean live -with-
out that."
"Take it and I will give you more with pleas-
ure," I replied, rather embarrassed.
■"And what fur? pray do not trouble your-
self; I am very gratiitul to yoa for your kind-
ness, but as for me I have enough to eat, and
perhaps indeed 1 may have too much, that is
as may bo."
He got up, stretching his hand toward tho
little door. '-
" Wait, old man," I cried, almost desperate ;
"how little you are inclined tor talk.to-day.
Tell me, at least, ia your mistress up or not ?"
" She is up."
" And — ia she at home?"
•• No."
" Is she gone to pay visits ?"
"Not at allj'sho'has gone to Moscow."
"What! to Moscow? Bat this morning she •
-was here?"
"Yes."
" And she slept here V
" Yes."
'•'lis not long since she went?"
"Not long."
" How long ia it, my good fellow."
" About au hour ago she determined to go
back to Moscow."
"To Moscow!" and I looked aatounded at
Loukianitch. I confess I ^vas not prepared for
this. Luukianilch, in his turn, looked at pae.
A smile parted the wily old man's dry lips and
scarce lighted hia dull eyes.
"And sue went with her sister ? " I asked at
last.
" With her sister."
" So that now there is no one in the house ?"
"No one."
1 thought Loukianitch wasdeceiving me. It
was not lor nothing that he smiled so know-
in iri v.
" Listen, Loukianitch," I oaid to him. "Do
you wish to do me a service V
" VVhat is it you wish V he replied slowly. It
was clear that my questions begau to weary
liim.
" You say there is no one in the houae ;
perhaps you could show it me? I would be
much obliged to you."
" You wish to see the rooms V
"Yea." '
Loukianitoh was silent. At length he said,
"Williiigiy; come with me."
He stooped and crossed the threshold of the
little door ; Hollowed in his steps. We crossed
H little court-yard and mounted a rickety
flight of wooden steps. The old man pushed
open the door, which had no look ; a knotted
oord was passed through the bole ; we entered
. xaanl vod ta wait« , sure that alLthe ;^ world. theraa.^the . Jiouse. a Vir& or oue
more ; and, as far as 1 could seo by the faint
light which came in through the chinks of the
blinds, the furniture of these rooms was very
simple and very old. In one of the rooms (it
was the one whioh looked out in the garden)
there was a wretohed little piano. I lifted its
convex cover and touched the keys. A shrill,
hoarse sound escaped Irom them, and faded
languidly away, as if hurt at th6 liberty I had
taken. There was nothing to show that the
house had just been occupied; indeed, it had a
close, musty smell. Hero and there lay a scrap
of paper, showing by its whiteness that it had
not been there for long. I picked up one ; it
was doubtless the fragment of a letter. A wom-
an's hand, had traced on it m firm characters,
" Be silent." On another fragment 1 deci-
phered the word "happiness." A bouqet of
halt-faded flowers stood in a glass on a stand
near the window. A crumpled green ribbon
lav by their side ; I possessed myself of the rib-
bon. Loukianitch opened a narrow door hung
with tapestry.
" There," he said, stretching out his hand,
" there is the bedroom, further on the lady's-
maid's, and that's all."
We came back by the corridor.
" What room is this ?" I asked him, pointing
to a large door carefully padlocked.
" That," answered the old man, in adull voice,
" thfit is nothing."
" Well, but—"
"Well, it is the lumber-room," and he passed
on into the ante-chamber.
" The lumber-room 1 Cannot one go in there 1 "
"What pleasure could that give you. Sir?"
replied Loukianitch, in a discontented tone.
"What do you want to see there, trunks and
old crockery! it is a lumber-room, nothing
more."
"Pray show it mrf," I replied, though I
blushed inwardly atmy prying obstinacy. " You
see, I should like to have a house liKe this in
my village — " I was ashamed, I cotdd not fin-
ish my sentence. Loukianitoh drooped his gray
head on his cheat, and looked up at me in a
singular way.
" Show it me," I repeated to him.
" Well, come," he replied at length.
He took the key and opened the door sulki-
ly. I cast a glance around the lumber-room.
There was, in truth, nothing extraordinary in
it. The walls were hung with old portraits,
with dark, almost black faces and ill-looking
eyes. On tho ground was muddled all kinds of
rubbish.
"Well, have you seen It ?" presently asked
LDukianitch.
" Yes, tliank you," I answered hurridly.
He shut the door. I crossed the ante-chamber
and passed into the court-vard. Loukianitch
said dryly, " 1 wish you good day." and he left
me.
"But who was the lady you had visiting here
yeaterday ?" I cried to him as I saw him depart-
mg. "I met her in the wood this morning."
1 had hoped to embarrass him by this sudden
question and draw from him a spontaneous
answer ; but the old man only chuckled and
disappeared.
I went home. 1 was as uneasy as a child who
has just received a rebuke.
"No," I said to myself at last; "I certainly
ought not to unfold this mystery. , Let us have
no more of it. I will think ot all this no more."
A week passed away. I tried to put far from
me the memory of the unknown, of her com-
panion, and ot my meetings with them ; but
this memory pursued me constantly, and har-
assed me with the importunate persereranoe of
a fly during one's siesta. Loukianitoh, too,
came constantly back to my mind, with bis
mysterious looks, his talk full of reticence, and
his cold, dull smile. The very house, when I
thought of it, seemed to look maliciously at me
athwart its half-closed blinds, as if it mocked
me and said : " After all, you shall know noth-
ing;" in short, I lost patience, and one day I
set out to Glinnoe. 1 must confess I telt some
agitation as I approached the mysterious
dwelling. There was no change in tho exterior
of the houfe; tho same closed windows, tho
same lugubrious and abandoned aspect ; only,
in place of Loukianitoh, a young fellow of about
twenty was seated on the bench in front of the
wing. He wore a long nankeen caftan and a
red ahirt. He slept with hia head leaning on
the palm of his band. Every now and then his
head began to nod, then he suddenly lifted it
up again.
" Good day, brother," I cried aloud to him.
He got up quickly and turned his wide aston-
ished eyes on me.
" Good day, brother." I repeated. " Where
ia the old man ?"
" What old man ?" asked the fellow slowly.
"Loukianitch."
" Loukianitch ?" He looked askance. " You
want Loukianitch?"
" Yes ; IS he at home?"
"No," said the boy, stammering, "he — ^how
can I tell you?"
"Is he ill?"
" No."
"Well, what?"
" He is ne more."
"What?"
"A misfortune has happened to him."
"Is he dead?" I asked, in consternation.
"He has hanged himself," said the young
man under his breath. /
" Hanged !" I cried m terror. /
We looked at each'other without speaking.
" Was it long ago ?" I asked at last.
"Five days to-day. They buried him yester-
day."
"And why did he hang himself?"
" God knows ! Ue was a free man ; he had
wages ; he knew no Want ; his employers
treated him. like one of. their kin. Ah! such
good employers ours are — God bless them ! It
is impossible to imagine what drove him to
death. It must be the devil who tempted
him !"
" How did he do it ?"
"He just did it — took a rope and. hanged
himself.''
" And before that you observed nothing very
odd about him?"
"1 can hardly say. Nothing ■ particularly •
odd. He always seemed weary and suspicious.
He was constantly grumbling. 'I am weary,'
he used to say. And it is true that his years
might have weighed him down. Just at.
tho last he grew still more melancholy. '
Sometimes he came to us in the village,
as I am his nephew. ' Come, Vagi, my
friend,' he would' say,, 'come and stay
to-night with me,' ' Why, little uncle i'
'Because 1 am frightened-^I get tired of my
own company.' So I would go with him. He
would go out into the courtyard, look hard at
the house, shake his head, and then sigh. The
day before his miafortune, he came to us aud
called for me. I went with him. - We eutered
hia room together; he sat down on his little
bench; then he got up and weut out. I waited,
but seeing he didn't come back, I went into tho
court-yard and began calling ' Uncle, little
uncle!' He made no answer. '_Wherejean he
be gone V I asked myself. ' Perhaps he's in
the house.' And 1 weut into the house. Night
was just beginning. I passed by tho lumber-
room, and heard a scratching uoice, like a ra-
zor on a bsard. I pushed at the door, it opened,
and what did I see ? Him squatting down by
the window. ' Wha^ are •you about there, lit-
tle uncle ?' I asked. And then he turned with
an exclamation. His eyes were haggard, aud
glittered like cat's eyes. ' What do you want —
don't you see I am shaving ?' And his voice
sounded hoarse. My hair stood on end with
terror. Perhaps the demons had already en-
compaased him. 'In the dark!' I auawered;
and my knoea began to tremble un-
der uie. 'Well,' said he, 'go!' I
went, and he left ithe lumber-room, carefully
shutting tho door. Theu we went back to
the wing of the house, and my fears left me at
onco. ' What can J'ou \vaut in tho lumber-
room, little uncle ? ' I said to him. A shudder
aeized him. 'Be silent,' aaid he, 'be silent.'
Aud he lay down ou the stove. ' Very well,' I
tUought, ' I had better not speak to nim. Per-
haps he 18 out of sorts to-day.' And then 1 l^y
down on tne stove. A lamp was burning in
the corner. Well, 1 was lying down, and, you
see. I was iust tailing asleep. * * * Sud-
denly, I hoard the dpor creaking slightly, and
opening— just a little— so. My uncjle was lying
down with his back to the door, and. yoa may
remember, he was always hard of hearing ; but
now ho got quickly up. 'Who ia calling me?
Who has come to find me out— tb find me out?'
And ho went, bareheaded, into the court-yard.
' What is it ? ' I asked myself, and, wretch that
I am, I went to sleep agaiu. Next
moruiug, I awoke. Loukianitch was not
tliere. I went out ot the room. I
began to call— he was nowhere. ' Have you
seen my uncle go out V I said to the watchman.
' No,' he answered, ' I have not seen him.'
Terror seized us at once. ' Come, F6doroyitcb,'
1 said, 'let ua see if he ia not in the house.'
' Come, Vassili Tiinofeitch,' he answered. And
he was as white as a glazed tile. Wo went
with the young fellow, and then went away
completely upset. I confess I could no longer
look at the decayed house without a supersti-
■tious terror. I left ths country a month later,
and by degrees I forgot all these meetings and
terrors.

lo\^ rooms.wnothlnaJ''' I passed about Ju»if.an^ hour more in talkiMv
Three years had passed. I had spent a great
part of this time in St. Petersburg and in France,
and though I bad gone to mv country house. I
had not been once either at Glinnoe or at MiChai-
lovskoS. I had nowhere met mv imknown'or
her cavalier. It happened at the end ot the
third year that I met at an evening party° in
Moscow, Madame Chlikof and her sister P61agie
Badaef, that same P61agie whom, in my
absurdity, I \had always taken to be an imag-
inary person. These two ladies leere past
their first youth, but yet/ possessed what is
called an agreeable exterior. Their conversa-
tion was intelligent and bright — they had
traveled much, and with advantage. They
had certainly nothing in comnion with my un-
known. I was introduced to them. I began to
talk with Madame Chiikof, while her sister en-
tered into a discussion with a foreign geologist.
I informed her I had the pleasure of being one
of her neighbors in the diatrict of X.
"Ah, I have a small property there," she re-
plied, near Glinnog."
" To be sure," I answered, " I know Mich-
ailovsfcoe. Do you go there sometimes 1 "
"Seldom."
"Were you not there three years ago? "
" Stay— I "think I was. Yes, 'certainly I was."
" With your sister, or alene 1 "
She looked at me. " With my sister. We
stayed a week there. We were ]fhere en busi-
ness. We saw no one."
"There are few neighbors, I think?"
" Very few."
"Tell me. Was it not at your house there
was an accident some time ago ? — Loukian-
itch.,'
Madame Chlikof 's eyes filled with tears.
"You knew him?" she asked with interest.
" What a misfortune ! He was such a fine,
such a good old man, and without any rea-
son "
'•Oh. yes>" I answered. " What a misfor-
tune !"
Mme. CTilikof 's sister approached us. Prob-
ably the geologist's learned remarks on the
formation of the banks of the Volga had some-
thing to do with this retreat.
"P61agie, this gentleman knew Loukian-
itch."
*' Indeed ! Ah, poor old man !"
"At that time I used often to shoot near Mi-
chailovskoe. Three years ago. When you
wore there" —
" I," said Pifilagie, with some surprise.
" Yes, of course," answered her sister, quick-
ly. "Don't you remember ?" And she torew
a rapid glance at her.
" Oh, yes, of course," suddenly replied P6la-
gie.
"Ha, ha!" I thought. "It seems yon were
not at MichSilovskoe, little dove."
"Will you not sing us something, PiSlagie-
Fedorovna?" asked just then a tall young man
with fair hair and heavy eyes.
" I really know nothing," said Mile. Badaef.
"You sing?" I cried eagerly, leaving my
place with an assiduous air. "Pray, pray, sing
us something." ^
"And What shall I stag yon?"
"Do you not know,]' saiij 1, trying my best
te assume an easy and' indifferent countenance,
''"^ certain Italian ballad, which begins like
this, ^Passa quei colli.' "
" I know 11," answered Mile. P6!agie, simply.
"You wish me to sing it to you? By all
means."
She sat down to the piano. I fixed my eyes
on Mmo. Chlikof as Hamlet did on lils'i step-/
father. I thought I saw her tremble slightly
at the first note, but she remained miie^
seated till the end. . jj
Mile. Badaef sang well enough ; the ftallad
ended; she was asked to sing something else,
but the sisters exchanged a look of mteJIiSence,
and a few moments afterward went away.
When they left the room I heard the people
near me murmuring, "How forward !'"
"I have deserved it," I thought. I saw them
no more. /
Anothet year passed. I wa^ settled at St.
Petersburg. The winter came, and masked
balls began. One night, I left a triend's
house at about eleven, and found myself
iu such gloomy spirits that I resolved
to go to the Assembly masked ball. I wan-
dered for a long time in front ot the columns
and mirrors, with something of a latal expres-
sion— an expression which, to my thinking, one
often sees in the faces of the moat exoellen:
people on such occasions — ^heaven knows why !
1 wandered like this tor long, trying to shake
off, by repartees, the attentions of shrill domi-
nos with suspicious lace and faded gloves.
For long I gave up my ears to the blaring of
the trumpets and the screeching of the violins.
When at last 1 was bored enough, and had got
a bad headache, I was on the point of going
away, but I stopped. I had just seen a woman
in a black domino leaning against a column. I
saw her. I stood still — then I drew near — it
was she. How had I recognized her? By the
' absent look she turned on me through the long
slits in her mask, by the wondrous shape of
her shoulders and hands, by the woman's maj-
esty of all her being, or was it a mysterious
voice which suddenly made itself heard in me 1
I cannot tell, but I did recognize her. I passed
backward and forward tAVo or three times be-
fore her with a beating heart. She stood mo-
tionless. There was in her attitude so ineffa-
ble a sadness that 1 involuntarily recalled
these two lines ot a Spanish ballad :
" Soy un cnadro de tristeza
Arrimedo ^ la pared."
I drew near the column against which she
leaned and murmured in her ear, "Passa quei
colli." She shuddered from head to loot, and
turned rapidly to me. My eyes were so near
to hers that I could see their pupils dUate with
terror. She looked at me hesitatingly and
feebly stretched out her hand to me.
"The 6th of May, 184-, at Sorrento, at ten
o'clock, in the Strada della Croce." I said, slow-
ly, without taking mv eyes off her ; " then
in Russia, , in the province of , in the
village of MichailovskoB, on the 22d of
July, 184-." I had said all this in
French. She moved back some paces,
scanned me from head to foot, aud whispered
"Comel" She left the ball-room at the same
moment. I followed her. We passed on in
silence. I cannot express what I telt as I
■walked by her side. Splendid vision, which
had suddenly become real! Statue of Galatea
transformed to a living woman, and coming
down from her pedestal to tho astounded Pyg-
malion. 1 could hardly breathe.
' She stopped at length m a remote room, and
sat down on a small divan near the window.
I sat by her. She turned her head slowly and
looked at me suspiciously.
"Do you come from him?" she asked. !Her
voice waa feeble and uncertain. Her question
Bomehat disconcerted me.
" No— not from him," I answered hesitatingly.
" You know him ? " >
" 1 know him," I replied.
She looked at me inoredulonsly, seemed as if
she would speak, and lowered her eyes.
" You were waiting for him at Sorrento," I
continued; "you saw him at Miohallovskoe,
you rode with him. You see that I know — that
1 know all."
" I seem to know your face," she said.
" No— you have neyer seen me." /
" Then what is it you want of me V
" You see that i know," I repeated. I felt
that I must profit by this happy beginning,
and though my jibrase — I kuow all, you see
that I kuow — became absurd, my agitation was
so great, this unexpected meeting troubled me
•SO much, I was so contused that I could nohow
find anything better to say, the more because
I knew nothing else. I felt that I was getting
stupid, aud that it 1 must at first have appeared
io her a creature with full aud mysterious in-
formation, I had now quickly changed into a
kind ot pretentious idiot. But what could I
do?
' '" Yes, I know all," I repeated once again.
She looked at me, got up suddenly, and waa
going away. But that would have been too
cruel. I caught her hand.
" For heaven's sake," I said, " sit down ; lis-
ten to me."
She reflected, and sat down.
"1 told you, just now," 1 continued, eagerly,
" that 1 knew all ; that is not true. I linow
notning, absolutely nothing ; I know neither
■who you are nor wiio he is, and if I was able to
surprise you by what I said just now by the
column, attribute it only to chance, to a
strauce, inexplicable chance, ■which like a mad-
ness has twice brought me near you almost iu
the same way, and made me the iuvoluntaiy
spectator of what you may perchance have
wished to keep secret.
Then 1 related to her all straightforwardly,
without the least concealment, my meetings
with her at Sorrento and in Russia, my useless
inquiries at Miohallovskoe, aud even my oon-
Tersation at Moscow with Mme. Chlikof and
her sister. " Now you know all," I said, as I
ended my recital. " I cannot tell you what a
deep and powerful impression you made ut>on
me. To see you and not be be'witohed by you
is impossible. Besides, I have no need to de-
scribe to you what my impression was. Re-
member the circumatancea under whioh I saw
you both times. Believe me, I am not one to
abandon myself to vain hopes, kat think of the
inexpressible agitation wtioh possessed me to-
day, and forgive me — ^forgive the iU-oon-
ceivod trick whioh I employed to attract you*
attention, were it bat for a aiomeatt"

liftiag her head. ' ^ *^
" What do you wish el ma t " she aaid. afr
last.
" I ? I wish for nothing. I am happy enongh '
already— I have too much respect for others
secrets."
" However it would seem Well." ghecoiv
tinned, ''I have no wish to reproach yau.
Every one would have done the same in yonr'
place. And besidea chance has really brought
us together with such perseverance that yo«t
nave acquired some right to my confidence.

ball to impart their sufferings to the firat
comer, and who are in quest ef a syropathetio
heart. I have no desire tor sympathy ; my
Own heart is dead, and I have eome here only
to bury it for ever."
t She lifted her handkerchief to her Jips. "I
hope." she added, •' that you 'will not take my.
words for eome vulgajr, masked-ball eff-jsion.'
You must understand that that is not my way."
And indeed there was something terrible in
her voice, despite tl^p winning soltness of iU
tone.
" I am Russian." she said, in her own tongue,
(she had till then spoken in French,)'* though
I have lived little in Russia. There is no need
for you to know my name. Anna-F6doravaa
is an old friend of mine ; I went to MicbaUov-
skoe under the name of her sister. At that
time I could not see him openly. People had
begun to talk. There were obstacles too. Ho
was not free. These obstacles have disappeared^'
but he whose name ought to be mine, he with
whom you saw me, has repulsed me."
She made a gesture with her hand, and was
silent. " Do you not really know him." she
asked presently, " have you never met him i"
"Never."
" He has passed almost all this latter tima
abroad. For the rest he is here now. That is
my whole history," she continued ; " you see.
that there is nothing mysterious^ or surprisistf'
in It.
" But — Sorrente ? " I asked timidly.
" It'was at Sorrento that I knew him," she
answered slowly, and then fell into a siienf
reverie.
We looked at each other. A strange excite-
ment possessed my whole betng. 1 was seated
by her side, by the side of this woman wbosa
memory had so often come to my mind and so
painfully possessed and harassed me. I waa
seated by her side, and I felt my heart keavj;
and frozen. I knew that nothing cvuld come
of this meeting, that there was an abyss be-
tween her and me, that onee parted we should
never meet again. With bead upraised, and
bands resting^ on her knees, she sat calm aad
indifferont. I knew it, this mdifference of in-
curable sorrow ; I knew it, this calm of irre-
parable ill. Masks passed to and fro before us
— the indistinct music of a yalse sounded, now
in the distance, and now nearer, in sudden^
bursts. The gay notes^ filled me with sad-
ness. Is it really possible, I thought, that ttss
woman is the same who appeared to me before at
the -window of that l^-otf little coantry-hou*e^
in all the blaze of her triuniphant beauty f
And yet time seemed scarce to haVe brustiedl
her with his wingl. The lower part of her face,,
where it was not hidden by the lace ef her'
mask, had an Xlmest child-like freshness ; 3'ee
the cold, as Of a statue, breathed all around
her. Had £lalatea regained her pedestal nerei
to descend again ?
Suddeifly she roused herself, looked into tbft
ball-roOin. and got up.
"(Jive me your hand," she- said. "Come,
come, quick 1" We returned to the ball-room..
She stopiped near a column. "Let as wait
here," she murmured- "You are looking lor
some one," I wasaooat to say. But she]
no more attention to me. Her- fixed
seemed to pierce the erowdl' Her large blaclcj
eyes shot from under her velvet mask daric
looks of hatred and threat. I onder-i
stood all as 1 returned. In a gallery^
formed by a row of colamns in ftonti
of tne wall walked the man with whom I had
met her in the wood. I recognized him at
once, he had hardly changed. Hia £ai? moos-'
tacha was curled with the same grace; th»
same tranquil and insolent content lighted hia
piercing eyes. He came leisurely forward, and
stooping bis lithe figure, occupied himself witb,
a woman in a domino who nung on his arm.
When he rea<}hed our part of the room he sud-
deidy raised his head, looked first ac me, and
then threw a glance at my companion. Prob-
ably he recognised her by her eyes, for hei
frowned slightly. A smile, scarcely percepti-
ble, but cruel in its irony, played ro«ad hia
lips. He stooped to ths woman who was;.,
with him and whispered a few words in hM^^I
ear. The woman mcludsd ns both in a rapid
glance, then 'with a faint smUe she threatened
him 'with her finger. He sbrngged bis should-
ers lightly; she coqaettishly clung close ta
him.
I turned to my nnknown. She followed with,
her eyes the couple, who disappeared, and
tearing herself suddenly frbm my arm, she.^aa
toward the door. I was going to follow in hei
steps, but she turned and looked at me in saeta
a way that I could only bow and stay where I
was. I felt that to follow her would have bees
both insulting and stupid. /
"Pray tell me," I asked a quarter of an htnu
later of one of my friends who Knew all St.
Petersburg, "who is the tail handsome iiaa^
■with moustaches?" .
" He ? A foreigner, a somewhat mysteriona
being, who rarely appears in oar horiion. Wfa/
do you ask V
"I do not knew." ^
1 went home. Since then I have met my on-
known no more. Like a vision I first saw her,
like a vision she passed before nA, to vanisU
for ever. — Temple liar. *
The Sweet Waters op EtmoPE-— It ia
the fashion for the world to go on Friday ta-
the Sweet Waters of Europe, the inlet of j&«
Golden Horn, flowing down between two
ranges ot hills. This vale, whioh is almost aa
celebrated in poetry as that of the Heavenly
Water on the Asiatic shore, is resorted to by
thousands, in hundreds of carnages from Peia»
in thousands of caiques and barges. On tho
water, the excursion is a festival of the i>eople„
of strangers, of adventurers of both sexes;:
the more fashionable though not moral part of
society, which have equipages to display, go by
land. We chose the water, and selected a large
four-oared caique, in the bottom of ^hich wa
seated ourselves, after a dozen narrow «•-
capes from upsetting the totlish oraft, and
rowed away, •with the graye Ab-dei-Atti. bal-
anced behind and nnder bonds to preserve his
exact equilibrium. All the city seems to ba
upon the water; the stream is alive with tha
Blender, switt caiques ; family parties, rlHlick-
ing midshipmen from some foreign veSsel, soli-
tary beauties reclining In selfiah loveliness^
grave fat Turks, in stupid enjoyment No
voyage could be gayer than this through the
shipping, with the multitudinous houses of the
city rising on either hand. As ■we advance, the
shore is lined with people, mostly ladies in gav;.
holiday apparel, squattiug along the stream,
as on a spring day in Paris, those who oan-j
not afford carriages lino the avenues to the
Bois de Bologne to watch the passing pageant.
The stream grows more narrow, at length
winds in graceful turns, and finally is only a
few yards wide, and the banks are retained by,
masonry. The vale narrows also, and the hills
draw near. The water-way is choked AWith.

the color and beauty that nature
has denied aro imitated by paist and
enamel. We land and walk on. Singers n.od
players on eunous mstrumeuts sit along tha.^
bank and in groups under the trees, and fill
the festive air with the plaintive and untrained
Oriental music. The variety of costuotes is in-
numerable ; here meet all that is gay and fan-
tastic in Europe aud Asia. Tho navigation
ends at the white marble palace and moequo
which we now see shining amid the trees, fresh
with May foliage. Booths aud tents, green and
white, are erected everywhere. and
there aro many groups of gypsies and
fortune-teilera. Tue olived-complexioned,
black-eyed, long-haired ■n^omen, who trade in
tire secrets of the Orient and the -vioes of the -
Occident, do a thriving business -with those ou-
rioua'^f the future, or foscinated by the myste-
rious \cauty ot the soothsayers. Besides the
bands of music there are solitary bagpipers
whose instrument is a skin, with a pine for a
mouth-piece, and another at the opposite end
ha vine graduated holes Jor fingering ; and
I noticed with pleasure that the finger-
ing and 'the music continued long after
the musician had ceased to blow into the in-
flated skin. Nothing was wanting to the mosi
brilliant scene ; ladies in bright groups on gay
rugs and mats, children weaving head-dresses
from leavdB and rushes, crowds of carriages,
fine horses and gallant horsemen, sellers of re-
freshments balancing great trays on their heads,
and bearing tripod stools, and all degrees of the

evening, he remarks, Madame Verdi having
expressed a wish that the maestro, on account
ol his hysterical humor during the period ol
musical •' gestation," might liever compose an-
other opera, Verdi observed that nearly all
composers had their peculiar moods and
methods of composition, and after citing Meyer-
beer as an example,, thus referred to himsell:
"When 1 compose. I first study thoroughly the
obaractors ot the dramatis pcrsonce ; then I
commit the libretto to memory, asd, girdinj;
myself for tlie task, work away tor eisfht or
nine months, and more if necesdarv. until tbe
opera is cdmpleted. Meanwhile, I only live in
my imagination. Hence my irritability, ill-
humor, and incivility ; for though I am a bear
by nature, at such times 1 become more of a
bear thaii ever." Verdi rarely attends the the-
atre, espeoiall.y the opera. It is saitt that ho
never v/itnessed the ropresentation ot his ''Ballo
in Maschera" until ten years after its lirst ap-
ppax'anco upon the stage. Perhaps there is
less music in his household than almost
any other where there is a pianoforte. Here ouc
will find only "Don Curios" and "Aida," of his
many operas, his celebrated "Kequiem Mass."

Thb Cologne Cathedral. — Some of Al-
bert the Great's biographers credit him with
working many miracles, but without specify^ing

Prussia by name, rather naively observes,
"may be dueto negligence on the part of the
t^lieionB in matting them known." His mem-
8*y, ho-wever, is encircled with a halo of le-
geuduy lore in which he appears sometimes as
a magioian, sometimes as a saint. One of the
most famous ot these legends associates him
■withMie building of Cologne Cathedral: It is re •
lated that Albert was one day sitting in his cell
meditating on the project ot building ; he fer-
vently prayed to be enlightened in carrying out
the Work which he- was desirous to undertake
for the glory of God. Suddenly a light flashed
before hia eyes ; being startled, he raised his
head, and saw himself encircled with a soft
bght, which cast its splendor on every object
aronnd. ' Pour personages entered his cell,
weariim crowns of gold, which shone like the
precious stone when exposed to light. The
first, an old man of impoerng mein; wore a long
beard, which covered his breast; he held a
oompass in his hand. The second, of youthful
appearance, earned a square. The third, a
robust man, whose chin was covered with a
thick dark beard, held a rule ; and the fourth,

Virgin, the plan of a majestic temple. The ex-
terior plan was gradually delineated by means
of bright lines, and formed a sumptuous monu-
ment such as Albert could never have'imagined.
But this bright vision did not last long. The
entire ediflc-e, encompassed with ihiht similar
to the twinkling ot the stars, suddenly put on a
ravishing appearance ; then all vanished from
hia astonished sixht. Al oert, however, retained
in his memory the marvelous design which the
four masters with crowns ot gold had drawn,

career was decided. Prom henceforth he
dedicated himself to music. At eight years of
age, his father having purchased for him a

studies. At seventeen, with a few quattnni in

admission, he is rejected as being destitute of
musical taleht. His father, finding his art an
noprofitabie investment, advised him to return
to the plow. But the young Verdi, suspecting
that the Conservatory can claim neither
infallibility of judtiment nor a monopoly of
success, though d'isappointed, was n»t disheart-
aned. Taking a private master, he studies com-
Dosition, spending his evenings in his desolate
room, with the Bible and the classics, only too
nappy wben he can save enough from his
monthly gratuity of twenty-five francs from
tbe Monte di Pieth to gain admittance to the
gallery of the Scala. His first opera met with
mdifferent success. His second was a com
plete failure, compelled as he was by bis con-
tract aud a cruel lortuco to write a comic
opera-over the open grave* of his wife ana two
children. But his heart, thus stricken by be-
peavement, was touched to diviner harmonies

Sir Robert Walpole.— If we strike a
happy medium between the malice of the
pamphleteers and ballad-mongers of the first
part of the eighteenth century and the injudi-
cious praises of the laborious Archdeacon
Coxe, we can without much difficulty arrive at
a just estimate of the cbaraeter of Walpole.
He was a man of great natural abilities, but e'f
little genius; ot indifferent education, and
utterly destitute of what has been called cul-
ture; but he had what many men of genius and
of scholarly acquirements often lack, a
ready wit, a fearless spirit, indomitable
energy, great powers of work, the most ex-
cellent common sense, and exquisite tact. His
place was in the world, and not in the library.
None knew better than he how to lead and
humor men— to flatter theu" vanity, to humor
their weaknesses, to watch and ma^fee use of
their strength, and always to attain his ehd
without appearing to command. Human
nature was to him what the human body is
to tbe anatomist : he dissected its different
component parts, and knew the exact value
and. comparative merits of each. During
his leadership of the House of Commons
no man ever better succeeded in commanding
the cohesion of his fellows, and suppressing the
spite of personal feuds. High principles, a
sonnd morality, greatness of sentiment, he did
not possess ; he bribed, he cajoled, he intriguad,
he resorted to every political trick within the
compass of parliamentary tactics, and the re-
sult was that his tenure of office is amoDg tbe
longest and moat successful on record. Yet,
lax as we should now consider bis political
deaiiiigs, his personal honor throughout his ca-
reer was unsullied. The House of Commons
was then only the council ot a coterie, and not
as now the representative assembly of the na-
tion. Its boroughs were close, its speeches
unreported, its division lists seldom
scanned, its members responsible only
to themselves, and the consequence was
that corruption, open, and not deemed dis-
honorable, was freely practiced. It was the
age of bribery — the Jacooites were in the pay
of Prance, the Hanoverians in tho pay of the
Treasury, and Walpole, m distributing the
guineas of the Government, was but doini^
what his predecessors, had done before him,
and what hi.s successors did after him. The
only difference was that bis system of payment
was better organized, more cleverly worked,
and more lavishly used than had been in fash-
ion with his contemporaries, and thus he was
enabled for years to command a majority. To
obtain this majority was the one great aim of
Walpole's tactics. With him office was the end
of all his scheming, intriguing, and ambition.
Any step that would conhrm his power,
whethej wrong or right, he advocated;
any measure that would put him in jeo-
pardy, whether right or necessary, he rejected.
Office at all risks, and in snite ot all opposition,
was the spirit of his political creed. !Nur, if
politics be a game m which all is permis=iole
so Ion-; as success be attained, was he un-
worthy of office. His birth, though not noble,
would in any other country but England have
been* noble ; for he came of an old Norfolk
family that had been gentry for centuries. His
fortune was ample, so ihat as regards blood
and money he satisfied the social requirements
of Englishmen, w^ho, like th«ir rulers, save
where great genius makes the exception,
to be of ancient lineage and endowed
with a respectable rent-roli. In all his tastes
and habits he was thoroughly English. He was
as passionately fond of sport as Squire Wsst-
ern, and even when at the head of the nation,
the first letter he read m the mornine was
from the gamekeeper at Houghton. He was
an excellent host, a popular landlord, and a
bluff, genial companion, caring little for
social ditttrrences, but much for the pleasures
of the table. Though, as 1 have said, no
scholar, his natural abilities were of a higu
erder. Without being an orator, he spoke
well, and was always ready in debate. He
had the happy knack of instinctively avoiding
irrelevant matter and going straight to the
point. He was considered one ot the best
financiers •f his day. His knowledge of char-
acter and of our insular tastes caused him
to know how to deal with men and mold them
to his wishes. He managed his followers witti
something of .the tact which a ciever womuu
employs in the rule of her husband — he had his
own way, while his party wei'e under the be-
lief they were having theirs. The maxim
Quieta non moverc that he was ever repeating
siiuek the key-note of his political conduct.
When things were quiet he let them remain so.
Ol that meddling and muddling policy and har-
rassmg legislation, about which we have lately
heard so much, Walpole was perfectly innocent.
When the political horizon was serene and
tranquil he let it continue so, never troubliui^
himself about the dark clouds and starins
that might spring up. When the coumr.y was
quiet and trade prosperous he uid not fussily
overhaul the statute boolis to seo what roiortns
■^\'ere necessary or what leirislativo iiupiove-
ments he could ofi'cct. Provided no loiciiiu
complicatiou or domestic agitation rendered
bis tenure ot office insecure, ue permitted mat-
ters to Settle ibemselves without Government
iutertereuce. '• Foiewurued, loreaiiued," wa^
no douot an excellent motto, but in bis eyes
not to disturb quiet things was a better. 1 am
not couteudiny, tuat Walpole as a man i.s de-
serving of the respect and admiration ot pos-
terity. His sense of honor was blunt. Ho was
notoriously immoral. He believed ui no man's
truth, in no wouian's virtue. It it had not
been tor his vigorous constitution, which
made him from physical causes ioy-
ous and genial, he would have been
a cynic as black and bitter as the Dean of S;.
Patrick ; for his sneer wiss always ready
against such views and motives as exalt and
purity character. He lived in a course, vioi-
jjus age, but the low standard of his times
failed to satisfy him. His stories were so very
naughty that they drove respectable people
from Houghton, while his wofship at the
surine of Bciecbus was so terveut that ho was
often in a prostrate aitituae. To us Walpole is
but a cold historical abstraction. His iu(;ui-
(iry iuspu'cs no sentiment, no sympathy, no
afleotion. We take no interest lu hi.s birth-
place ; wo would preserve no looks ot his hair
or aureds from his i;ariueui ; it we know where
he was buried we would lay no floral tributu
upon his tomb. Yet, though as a man he was
gross, coarse, and sensual, a» a statesman he
was able, judicious, anil temperate. He was
the first English minister who tauuht the
nation the blessings ot peace, lis it had never
been taught since the days of .James I.
He was the first English minister who placed
our system of finance on a sound auil tiriu loot-
ing. He was the lirst Euylish mniiati-r who do-
cliuud to take advantaire ot his otfiuiai pusitiou
to wreak private rcyougc. He advocatud a
sound, domestic policy, and the Iruits of his ad-
vocacy were apparent in a tiouruhiiig ex-
i chequer and a buoyant state of trade. He was
the lirst of parliamentary tacticiau.s, and the
manner in which ho conducted the bu=.niess of
the House of Commons tended not only to in-
crease the welfare of hia party, but to substi-
tute a better leelinji than had lormerly existed
between the two chambers lu the Legislature.
He was a warm friand to the Protestant inter--
ests of the country, and, save under special
circumstances, a consistent opponent to all in-
tolerance.— Temple Bar.

PLE. — On Friday the great business of every-
body 18 to see the Sultan go to pray, and the
eagerness with which foreigners crowd to the
spectacle must convince the Turks that we en-
joy few religious privileges at borne. It is
not known beforehand, even to the inmates ot
the palace, to what mosque the Sultan will go,
nor whether he will make a street progress on
horseback or embairk upon the water for the
chosen place of prayer. Before twelve o'clock
we took carriage and drove down the hill, past
the parade ground and the artillery barracks
to the rear of tbe palace of Beshiktash ; crowds
on foot andin carriageswere streaming in that
direction ; regiments of troops were drifting
down the slopes and emptying into tbe avenue
that leads between the palaee and the plantation
of gardens ; colors were unfurled, drums
beating, trumpets called from barrack and
cuard-houao ; gorgeous ofiieers on caparisoned
horses, with equally guady attendants, can-
tered to the reHdezvous, and all the air was
full of the expectation of a gieat event.
At the great square of the palace we waited
amid an intense throng; four or five lines of
carriages stretched for a mile along ; troops
wer« in marching rank aUng the avenue and
disposed in hollow square on the place ; the
palace gates were closed, and every bed y
loaked anxiously toward the high and gilded
portal front which it was said the announce-
ment of the Sultan's intention would be
made. From time to time our curiosity was
fed by the arrival of a splendid pasha, who
dismounted and walked about: and at inter-
vals a gilded persenage emerged from the pal-
ace court and raised our expectation on tiptoe.
We send our dragoman to interrogate the most
awful dignities, espeeially some superb beings
in yellow silk and gold, but they know nothing
of the Sultan's mind. At the last moment he
might, on horseback, issue from the gate ■with a
brilliant throng, or he might depart in his
caique by the water-front. In either case there
would be a rush and a scramble to see and to
accosapany him. More regiments were arriv-
ing, bands were playing, superb officers gallop-
ing up and down ; carriages, gilded with the
arms of foreign emba|sie8, or filled with
Turkish ladies, pressed Jforward to the great
gate.jwhich still gave no sign. I have never seen
such a reiigjoub excitement, For myself. I
found some compensation in the usual Oriental
crowd and unconscious picturesqueness ; swart
Africans in garments of yellow, sellers of sher-
bet clinking their glasses, venders of faint
sw^eetmeats walking about with trays and tri-
pods, and the shiftiug kaleidoscope of races,
colors, and graceful attitudes. Suddenly, I do
not know how, or from what quarter, the feel-
ing, for I could not call it information, was
diffused that the successor of the Pi-ophet would
pray at the mosque in Ortakeui. and that ho
would go hy caSque, and we all scampered up
the road a mile ortwoi racing carriages. .trtiops,
and footmen in eager outset, in order to arrive
before the pious man. The mosque stands
upon the Bosphorus, where its broad marble
steps and pillared front and d«me occupy as
conspicuous a position as the Dogana at
Venice- We secured a standing place on
tl*^ dock close to the landing, but out-
side the iron railing, and waited. A cor-
don of troops in blue regimentals, with red
facings, was drawn around the streets m the
rear of the mosque, and two companies of
soldiers in white had stacked their guns on
the marble landing, and were leunging abaut
in from of the building. The scene on the
Bosphorus was as gay as a flower garden. The
water was covered witk graceful caiques and
paint«d barges and every sort of craft, mean
and splendid, that could be propelled by oars
er sails. A dozen inen-of- war were decked
with flags from keel to maintop ; oh every
yard, and from bowsprit to stem stood a line
of sailors sharply defined against the blue sky.
At one o'clock a cannon announced that the
superior devotee had entered his caique,
aud tben from every vessel »f war in the
harbor salute answered salute in thunder
that awoke the echoes of two continents ; until
on all the broad water lay a thick battle-
smoke, through which we could distinguish
only the tops of the masts and the dim hulks
spouting tire. In the midst of this earthquake
of piety there was a cry "Hecomes, he comes ;"
the soldiers grasped their arms and drew a line
each side of the landing, and the officials of
the mosque arranged themselves on the steps.
Upon the water, advancing with the speed of
race-bourses, we saw two splendid gilded
caiques, the one containing the Sultan, the
other his attendants. At the moment a light
carriage with two bay horses, unattended,
dashed up to the side door, and there
descended from it and entered the
mosque tbe imperial heir, the son of
the late Sultan and the nephew of the
present, a slender, pa,le youth ot apparently
twenty-five or thirty years. We turn (not
knowing how soon he is to become Sultan
Murad V.) our eyes to hiui only far a moment,
for the Saltan's caique comes with imperious
hastts, with the rush as it were of victory — 100
feet long, narrow, rising at the stern like the
Venetian Bucentaur, carved and gilded like
the golden chariot in which Alexander entered
Babylon — propelled by filty-two long sweeps,
rising and fabrng in unison with tbe bending
backs of twenty-six black rowers, clad in
white and with naked ieet. The Sultan is
throned in the hish stern hung with silk, on
si.ken cushions, under a splendid canopy, on
the top of which glistens his arms and a blaz-
ing sun. The Sultan, who is clad in the uni-
form of a General, steps quickly out, walks up
the steps over a carpet spread for his royal
feet — the soldiers saluting, everybody with
arms crossed oeuding the body — and disappears
in the mosque. The second caique lauds im-
mediately, and the imperial Aaniaters step
irom it and follow their master. — Scribner^s

The Art of Dkcepiiox. — One of tbe
most singular inconsistencies to be observed in
everyday liie is- found in the different manner
in which the habit of deception is regarded,
according to the age and position of those who
practice it. Children, as soon as they become
capable of distiuguishing right and wrong, are
taught to look upon deceit as one ot the worst
sins that can be committed. Boys at school are
not only taught the beauty of truth by their
masters, but, in a certain rough fashion, rever-
ence it among themselves. A bo^', for instance,
who parades ostentat.ously to his master an
assumed steadiness of principle and submis-
eiveness of demeanor is very soon branded
with the odious title, of sneak. Oa the other
hand, occasions arise in schoolboy life when,
by sticking to a deliberate talseliood, a boy may
gain for himselt the reputation of a hero atnoug
his fellows. This, however, is a detail ot tbe
curious system of schoolboy morality, the un-
written laws of which migrit afford an interest-
ing inattBrforstuil.y. Girls, it would seem, are by
nature more inclined to uutruthluluesg than
boys ; but this inclination la really very often
the result Of moral cowardica, a detect which
it may bo said is as common to boys and men
as to girls aud women. But in the one case
there are deterrent influences, absent in the
other, which ofteu lead to the attempt at over-
coming, or at any rate, ceucealiug, tlii.s fault.
A boy who has iaveuted a story to save himself
from a scrape, and is found out, is gemerally
made to feel in some tangible wav that he has
been guilty of a gross bluuder, if not of a crime.
He beoomes conscious that his conduct has
gained lum nothing liut a ■piinishiueut aud the
deorn of the community. With giiis the mat-
ter is somewhat difi'ereat; some form of pun-
ishment may be inflicted, but the sense of hav-
ing done a shamelul thing is le;<8 I'requenily
aud less strongly inculcated. A girl who has
been lie teoted in a falsehood may be feaseil on
the subject bv~ her companions, but L<hc will not
ba shu'ui.ed and despised. Thus she is very
likely to learn eaiiy in life the L'ruat maxim
that it is not crime but detection that one
ought to avoid. Among a certaiu class of
gro(vn-up women there is little more disgrace
attached to untruthlulness tban among girls;
aud tuis, it must be said, is, to a great extent,
the tault ot men, who so dili;;«ntly assure
women that they arc by nature uutruthiiil that
It IS small wonder if they cud by believing the
assertion and acting upon it. It also occurs
tiiat certain women who have cultivi^tcd a love
lor truth become disgusted at the geiieial
weakness of their sex in this respect, and fly
in consequence to the opposite extreme. They
judge it necessary to employ some striking
moans lor convincing the world that they are
not as other women are. and that whatever Ihov
say is trustworthy, and thoy, therelore, afl'oct
an irritating sliaipness ot manner and an uii-
comturtablo hiibit ot saying the most disa-
greeable things they can. In order to avoid
flattery, tliev overwhelm one with hitter criti-
cism. Perhaps they are, however, more toler-.
able, inasmuch as they at least ;ict from prin-
ciple, than tlie women of the world who are
accomplished in the art of deception, and em-
ploy all its resources to wound any one against
whom they have a grudge. Their words are to
those of, the woman who flaunts her truthfulness
m one'a face as the bite of a snake to the
chance blow of a bludgeon. Both, however,
may be said to be results, in opposite direc-
tions, ot the same system. The most danger-
ous woman probably, in the matter of untruth,
is she who, with a frank manner, a pleasant
smile, and the honest .ippearance of lago, will
look you full in the face and tell you what she
knows to be a deliberate lie. Aird such people
are commoner then may be generally supposed,
inasmuch as the fallacy that a person skilled
in the art of deception cannot look others in
the face is still very generally entertained, al-
though it has been often enough exposed.
Among men the practice of falsehood is per-
haps not more rare than among women ; but it
is apt to take a less harmful form. There are
many women who are known to devote them-
selves to the propagation of untruths, or, what
are more dangerous, half-truths, and who suffer
very little in social estimation or position. But
a min, and there are of course many such,
who spends his time in circulating malicious
reports, in, collecting the raw gossip of clubs,
decking and adorning it after his own fashion,
and sending it out again in a complete and
finished form, is likelv to get little by his
pains but contempt, except, indeed, among a
circle ot scandalous old women, who are always
ready to welcome him. The men who lie with
success, if so hard a name as lying ought to be
given to their practices, are thoso^ who have
some resemblance to Corneille's Menteur, who
are led away by force of imagination, and also
by a certain feeling for artistic effect. These
moo are most usually found among Irishmen,
and their method was pretty accurately hit off
by a late Judge, who observed that Irisk wit-
nesses could never be trusted. " But, my lord,"
said one of the counsel, " vour lordship's father
was Irish." "Yes," was the answer; "J
meant ihat they had a picturesque round-about
way of putting things. They are all very elo-
quent."— The Saturday Rcviiio.
Marie Legault and the Gtmnase. —
At the death of Descl^e, the wonderful good
fortune of the Gymnase seemed to desert it,
and the director, having amassed considerable
wealth, appeared not unwilling to let his re-
maining stars complete by desertion the dis-
memberment of his troupe, which the death of
Descl^e had begun. From having been the
most popular theatre in the French capital,
the Gymnase fell to be the one m»st generally
avoided by such as care to find good plays well
interpreted; and until the d(5but of Mile.
Legault, and m»re especially up to the pro-
duction the other night ot "Andrette," no thea-
tre in Paris eould offer less attraction. En-
tered at a very early age at the Conservatoire,
Mile. Legault excited the greatest enthusiasm
at the concours of 1872 by her wonderful acting
in the " Epreuve Nouvelle" of Mariyaux. The
critics asserted that, although Miles. Mars,
Anais, Aubert, and Emilie Dubois were indis-
putably great actresses. Mile. Legault was
their equal, while Mile. Reicbemberg and Mile.
Beretta could not approach her. Although she
was only fourteen years of age, the Od<5on, the
Vaudeville, and the Gymnase made her the
most brilliant offers, which she had the good
sense to refuse, being assured by the be«t judges
that it she would remain but one year longer at
the Conservatoire she would easily gain tbe
first prize, which would enable her to
make her d€but at the Franijais. More-
over, such was the high opinion formed
of her talents by the public that the Society of
the Com6die Frangaise offered to treat her as
a pensionnaire, and agreed to pay her, during
the extra year she should pass at the Conserva-
toire, a fixed salary, in return for which they
would require nothing but her attendance as a
spectator at the great national theatre on such
occasions as Bressaat and fleichemberg should
perform. This arrangement was accepted and
a year rolled by. In 1873, Mile. Legault ob-
tained the first prize at the Conservatoire, in ■
Agnes m the "Ecole des Femmes."
Although by so doing she had
fulfilled their highest expectations,
the capricious members of the committee of
the Com6die Franfaise now changed their minds
and began to find tault with a< talent which,
when but half developed, they had pronounced
perfect. At this juncture, and while debating
how they could get out of their engagement
with Mile. Legault and put Baretta in her
place, M. Montignv came forward with the
most brilliant offer, which was accepted ; and
Mile. Legault made her d^but at the Gym-
nase in the same play in which she
had first attracted . public attention — in
the " Epreuve Nouvelle " of Marivaux — which
was specially revived as being a play in which
the peculiar gifts of tbe young actress might be
displayed to the best advantage. Her success
in this rOIe, although great, was quite eclipsed
by the immense triumph she achieved^ as i-w-
denne in " Les Id^es de Mme. Aubray." Her
acting in that part was indeed marvelous, and
from that day her position as one of the best
actresses of France was no longer a subject
of dispute. Under the magic influence
of her genius the good fortune of the
Gymnase revived, the house began to be
thronged as in the old days when Descl^e
played in "Frou-Frou," or Delaporte in " Nos
bons Villageois." All Paris was attracted by
tlie sweet smiles of the young debutante, and
her wonderful acting in the " Eeole des
Femmes," some months later, showed tbe suc-
cess she had so honestly earned in the begin-
ning of her youthful career was to be increased
by reason pf the sustained aud progressive ef-
Ibrts of her genius. She acted in a little one-
act comedy, written in 1831, by the younger
Dumas for Delaunay and Favart to act
in at the Hotel Castell.nne "Le Bijou de
le Rein," in '* Brulons Voltaire," in "Une
Femnie qui ment,'' in " Dubois d'Australie,"
in •' La Dragoune," by Plouvier, in " La Joie
de la Maison," in " S6raphine, Los Deux Com-
tes^es," in "Les Maniagui'S'" and in "La
Derniere Poup6j," by De Najac. Her great-
est success, however, is her latest, in the little
one-act comedy by Alfred de Courcy entitled
Andrette, and produced but a few weeks ago at
the Gymnase. — London Society.
Glasgow and the Clyde. — A hundred
and fifty years ago, the inhabitants ot Glasgow,
then only a few thousands in number, resolved
on improving the Clyde, aud they have gone
on working at the idea ever since. It was a
ahrasvd conception. The city had great capa-
bilities of advancement. The neighborhood
abounded in iron and coal. The river opened
into a channel communicating with the wCat
coast of England and the Atlantic ; and tbe
Atlantic was the highway to America. There
lav the elements of wealth, and no doubt wealth
would be realized in immeasurable abundance
it the river could be rendered navigable. Such
was the reasoning of these Glasgow people.
They hardly yet imagined the possibility
of bringing the sea up to their city.
They wouid establish a port near the
salt water, and carry on traffic bv
means ol lighters. 'J'hat was the primary
noti(m, and it did good service in its day. In
process of time, as trade and wealth increased,
the improving of the river on a grand scale,
and making Glasgow itself a port, became a
predominant idea in this keen-witted and self-
reliant community. In short the tidal water
iBUSt be made to flow upward over a 'space ot
fifteen to eighteen miles, to the Broomielaw,
se as to secure the advantages of harbors and
docks with a clear and direct route to the sea.
Mr. Deas presents a narrative of proceedings
for deepening, widening, and straightening the
river, which in some places was uo shallow
that it could be forded on foot. Whore sand-
banks were bare at low water, land plows
drawn b}' horses were em|)loyed to break up
the banks, so that the current might carry the
sand awai". Where the sand-banks were
under water, they wore torn up by nar-
rows attached by tackle to the stern of
steam-tuga, the liberated df^oris being swept
away by the current aud retiux ot the tides.
Then began processes ol dredging, at first by a
chain ot iron buckots worked by hand and by
horses, but afterward by .steam-power, is tjome-
tiiuMS the liredgers encountered mtks aud
boulders, and these had t» bo uiastcrcd by a
recourse to diving-bells aud blasting. For a
long time the ongiuoers were una^vare of a
remarkable bed or uyke of whinstotie rock at
the bottom of the river near Elderslie, about
four miles from Glasgow. 'Ihis toi-midable bed
of rock, which was only discovered by the
grouuding ot a largo steamer jn 1851, extended
nine hundred Icet in ; length by about
three hundred feet in H breadth. It was
blown up by gunpowjler, the charges
being fired by a galvaiiic battery. The
cost of these blasting opfcrations was upward
of £1G,000. Aiueh, wtj are 'told, remains to be
done ;. but the northern Jialt ot the rocky
area has been lowered so a§ to givo a channel
^ of iourteeu feet at low wAfer, the other halt
having an available depth of eight feet. Ulti-
mately, as is expected, there will be a depth
throughout of twenty feet at law water. The

from first to last, in virtue of acts ol Parlia-
ment, been borne hs leTyiiut cabw oa th» i^ut..
nage of vessels using the river. ' The admimis-,
tration throughout has been marked bv great
pruaenoe. With some insignificant failures
whatever has been done has been done well. The
total expenditure of the Clyde Trust from the
year 1770 to June, 1875, amounted to £6,774,000.
Let us now take a» glance at the revolution
which the outlay of this large ' sum of money
has happily effected. The first steamer, called
the Comet, constructed by Henry Bell, and
placed on the Clyde in 1812, drew four feet of
water, and was capable of carrying forty passen-
gers. It went down the liver to Greenock one day
and returned the next. Mr. Deas was informed
by an old gentleman seventy-aeven years of
age. that he had made a voyage in the Comet.
"He loft Greenock at 10 in the morning for
Glasgow, but in consequence of a ripple of
bead-wind, it was 2 in the afternoon before
thoy got to Bowling, ten and a half miles from
Greenock.whoreallthe passengers were landed,
and had to walk to Glasgow, (a distance of ten
to eleven miles,) owing to the want ot water,
the tide having ebbed, it was no. unosmmon
occurrence for the passengers, when the liltle
steamer was getting exhausted, to take to turn-
ing the fly-wheel to assist her." We have
spoken of what came under our observation in
1824, when several steamers of moderate size
were successfully plying. Since then, through
the effects of dredging and the enterprise ot
the people, the Clyde takes rank as a river of
first-rate importance. The river on which
Henry Bell's little steamer occasionally stuck
carries ocean steamers without obstruction to
the harbor of Glasgow. At present the mini-
mum depth of the navigable channel may be
stated at fifteen feet at low-water, and about
twenty-five feet at high- water. Vessels draw-
ing twenty-three feet three inehes have
within the last few months come to
Glasgow in one tide from Greenock.
Ship-building on tbe Clyde has advanced in a
remarkable manner, lo 1875 there were built on
it three war vessels, thirteen paddle, and a
hundred and thirteen screw steamers. In-
cluding other kinds of craft, there w ere built
on it a total of two hundred and seventy-six
vessels. For the year ending 30th of June,
1875, the revenue of the Clyde Trust was £196,-
326. A survey of the shipping at the harbor
and docks of Glasgow would communicate a
feeling of an enoroious trade with all parts of
the world. The truth is. the rise of Glasgow is
one of the wonders in the modern history of
Great Britain — a greater wonder still when we
consider the poor and backward state of Scot-
land at the Union. From thirty-five thousand
in 1771, the population of Glasgow has swollen
to iialf a million, and it has become the second
city of the Empire, with apparently no limit to
its wealth and importance. As a centre of
manufacturing industry it has several advan-
tage^Hiut all would have been unavailing with-
out the Clyde and its marvelous impreve-
ments. — Chambers's Journal.
Albert the Great.— But, after all, hia
reputation does not rest alone on his enormous
and varied learning, but also on his labors
as a prefessor, bishop, and Superior of the
Dominican Order in Germany. His activity
was perfectly astonishing, and it is bard to un-
derstand how he can have compressed so mueh
work into the short span of human life. He
did not join the Dominican Order till 1223,
when he was thirty years old; and did not
begin his active life till 1229. Yet we find him
first of all professor of the natural and sacred
sciences at Cologne, where he taught for some
years; then founding schools of theology at
Hildesheim, Rati sbon, and Strasbourg; then
again teaching at Cologne; alter this
summoned to Paris to occupy the the-
ological chair in the university, ■which
the Dominicans had with some diffi-
culty, persuaded the Pope to confer upon theni ;
and, in 1248, sent back to Cologne to found
the public school which was destined.a century
and a half later, to become one of tbe most dis-
tinguished universities in Europe. In 1253 he
was elected Provincial of his Order, and soon
after was dispatched as Papal legate into Po-
land, to root out certain pagan usages, which
had been introduced there by intercourse
with the Mongols, from whom the Poles had
learned the barbarous customs of exposing
their malformed or weakly children, and of
putting to death their parents when decrepit
and unfit for labor. After successfully per-
forming his mission, Albert became Bishop of
Ratisbon ; but, after two years of energetic
administration, resigned his see, to return once
more, in 1261, to Cologne, where he taugh^
theology until, at the age of eiehty-five, his
increasing infirmities compelled him to retire
from active work. A curious story is told of
his final withdrawal from his professorial chair.
The old man was lecturing one day, with
faculties still vigorous and unimpaired to a
numerous and distinguished audience, when he
suddenly stooped. He had given out his
thesis, and was preparing to prove it ; but, all
at once, his memory, hitherto retentive of
everything he had read or heard, taUed him.
After searching painfully and in vain for the
arguments he had got ready, he turned, after
a few moments ot embarrassment, to his
hearers, and told them how, just fifty years
before, the Mother ot God had appeared to him
one day, as he was begging light of God to aid
him in his studies, and had encouraged him to
persevere in the study of science, promising
him many years of successlul labor. But, at
the same time, she had warned him that the
gift of knowledge then conferred upon him
would be suddenly withdrawn, and he would
find himself reduced to the simplicity and ig-
norance of a little child. " My friends," he
concluded, " what was then foretold is now to
be accomplished I recognize now that my
time 18 spent, and my end is near at hand."
He then descended from his chair, bade an af-
fectionate farewell to his pupils and retired for
the thr.e remaining year 8 of his lite to the priva-
cy of his cell. — The Athenwum.
People in the Highlalds. — Before
quitting the Highlands I must say just a
lew werds about the people who live and
die in these beautiful regions of mountain
and valley, lake and sea. The rain, and the
mist, and the sharp mountain air, seem favora-
ble for the development of muscle and bone,
for these men and w^omen are a fine stalwart
healthy race ; in many places, especially ameng
the sailor and fisher classes, they are a hand-
some race as well, with fair hair and skins, fine
features, and keen eyes. In and about Storn-
away, many of the women are beautiful, and
their beauty is set oft" to great advantage by a
very picturesque costume. But everywhere,
whetli«r handsome or not. ' we have found
them characterized by a peculiar geatlenesa
and courtesy of manner, by a natural refine-
ment that removes them utterly from the very
slightest tinge of vulgarity and commonness,
and by an intelligence and cultivation which
are rarely met with among tbe lower classes in
the South. Not only do they nearly all read
and write — even those w^ho dwell m miserable
mud hovels — but many of them read books, and
think, and deliver themselves in weil-chosen
and intelligible, if quaint, Enulish on various
subjects of pubrtic and individual, or even po-
litical interest, upholding their owu opinion
warmly and weh when they happen to differ
from you. Many of them feet and speak
strongly on the subject of the system of large
laudholderships tiiat prevail throughout the
Highlands to the exclusion of peasant propri-
etors, and also of the severity of; the game-
laws, and the harshness of the punishments
attendant on the breaking of those laws. In
their speech they are singularly r«fined ; and
the very poorest, even when quarreling, rarely
make use of the vulgar, meaningless, and
brutal words and oaths that disgrace and dis-
figure the speech of the poor m England, eftlier
m town or country. As for real kindness,
ready sympathy, and willing help in any
emergy. 1 think these Highlanders cannot
easily' bo auri.)as8ed. In an accident, or in
cases when a traveler is lost or missing, |heir
voluntary exertions, without any view to
reuiuneratioH, are as strenuous as though the
missing one were a relation of their own ; of
this wo saw a striking instance at Portree. —

Anecdoxe of George the Third.— E1-
liston was a great favorite with their Majesties
George the Third and Queen Charlotte. He
had taken the Weymouth Theatre, and, during
a stay of the King in this, his favorite water-
ing-place, had obtained his bespeak. On the
night in question, the manager came down
eai-ly to see that all was m proper order ; upon
entering the royal box he was startled to find
a gentleman there fast asleep; a second glance
showed him it was the King himself. It
was nearly time to ojien the doors, but
how to awake the royal sleeper 1 Sud-
denly a happy thought suggestei itself;
descending into the orchestra, ho
took up a violin aud began playing, " God Save

out of the box. "Hey, hey, what, what!" he
cried, with a dazed look. "O, I see.'Elliston.

ued to repeat with a chuckle. " Fast asleep,

Sib Henry Raeburn's Portraits. — " The
first excellence of a portrait," says the artist's
biographer, " is Resemblance ;" and in this re-
spect Raeburn has not been surpassed. The
admirable individuality of his portraits, and
their intensity of character, like those of Hol-
bein, are at tbe same time associated with a
masterly breadth of artistic treatment. His
drawing was correct, his coloring rich and
deep, and the light disposed with a peculiar and
powerful effect, amounting almost to mannerism,
but not the lesis admirable. He was essentially
the portrayer of intellect, and had the talent
of investing vjith this attribute, yet without
sacrificing resemblance, even what might be
considered a dull subject. • It is said that the
arrangement of a " fold of drapery occasioned
him more perpledxing study tha/U a head full of
thought and imagination ;" and such was
the Intuition with which he penetrated at once
the mind, that the first sitting rarely came to
a close without his having seized strongly
on the character and disposition of the indi-
vidual. In the present exhibition these excel-
lences are generally recognized by those who
personally remember or from other sources
have become acquainted with the characteiis-
tics of the originals. It was a peculiarity of
this artist that " he never drew in his head, or
indeed any part ot the body, with chalk," but
with afew bold touches, as he stood — for he al-
ways painted standing and without any rest
for his hand — he first of all produced the
forehead, chin, nose, and mou,.h. and then
proceeded to treat the other parts of the face,
as it were, subjectively to these salient points,
reserving for a later process that breath of life,
speaking in the eyes, which tells tis of the living
soul within. Although possessing -varied ac-
quirements, remarkable regularity in his sys-
tem of artistic labor, (as may be inferred from
the number of his works, ) Raeburn was but an
indifferent "man of business." He kept no
regular list of his own productions, and, in
consequence, a complete enumeration of
them has not yet been accomplished ;
and although the present collection
comprises no fewer than 322 portraits, it
is well known that there are many more-
scattered about the Kingdom, in the possession
of private families. Art has its "obligations"
as well as "property," and is bound to make
itself intelligible to the uneducated as to the
educated eye. There are styles ot art, however,
which, in order really to appreciate, one must
be gifted with a peculiar idiosyncrasy.- But
the works of Raeburn, now being ex-
hibited in Edinburgh, please alike tbe
most fastidious . and the most super-
ficial e^'e. The great Scottish portrait-
painter, with cHltivated tastes, an agreeable
manner, a handsome person, and a wife want-
ing neither in beauty nor fortune, seems to
have escaped the fate of many whose genius
has been cramped at the outset of their career,
and who, as has been said of Bums, while 'liv-
ing asked for bread, and received a stone when
gone ; and we may imagme the pleasant sur-
prise of the kind Sir Joshua Reynolds, -when
oflering the young Sooteh artist aid to prose-
cute his studies in Italy, on being told that it
was ijot required. With all these advan-
tages, Raeburn could afford to give scope
to his genius, as his joyous children
apd charming ladies fully attest. Indeed, the
agreeable conversation, in which he is said to
have engaged his sitters, probably coBtributed
in n» Blight degree to evoke that intellectuality
ot expression which pervades all his likenesses.
His judges seem all to have a clear conscience,
and to be enjoying the fruits of their judicial
labors ; his soldiers and sailors, sans peur et
sans reproche, are perlectly satisfied with " thev
authorities " of their day ; the country gentle-
men have been undisturbed by elections
or mortgages ; and his literary men
apvear as tnough on the best of
terms with their publishers ; while his nobles
seem fully eonscious of their hereditary claims
to respect. One aad all might be tbe citizens
of a Utopia which history, unfortunately, has
ignored. Bui at the same time they are aU
men and women of flesh and blood, with
marked individuality: and if on any brow are
traced the lines of care, better times seem to
have come; and all are represented in their
best aspects, the animal nature being entirely
subordinated to the spiritual and intellectual,
under the powerful charm of that ideality with
which they have been invested by the rare
genius of the artist. — London Society.
Elliston's Speech-making. — Business
at Birmingham had been very bad ' for soma
time, wheBr the walls were suddenly covered
with bills announcing the appearance at the
Theatre Royal of a Bohemian of extraordinary
strength and stature, who -^ould go through
various evolutions with a stone of upward of
a ton weight, which he would toss about as
easily as a tennis-ball. The night announeed
for hia appearance came ; the house was
crowded ; the audience had scarcely patience
to listcB to the words of the play ; all were on
thetip-toe of expectation for the performance
of this modern Hercules. At length the
curtain fell ; then came a delay, during which
impatience broke into furious clamor. At
length, with pale and woeful face, Elliston
rushed before the curtain : "The Bohemian
has deceived me," he cried ; " tfiat I coidd have
pardoned, but he has deceived you, my friends,
you," and for a moment he hid his face behind
his pocket-handkerchief, as though to conceal
his emotion. Then bursting forth again he went
on, " 1 rep6at he has deceived me ; he is not
here. The man, of whatever name or nation
he may be, who breaks his word commits an
ofi'ense which — " Here this Joseph Surface
aphorism was drowned by the yells of disap-
pointed gods and pititea. " The correspond-
ence," he continued, as soon as he ooulu again
make himself heard, "is m my pocket;" and
he drew forth a number ot letters. "Does any
gentleman here read German ? if so, let him
step forward." No gentleman volunteered.
"Am I, then, left alone { Then I'll translate
it lor you." Another uproar, and one or two
voices cried out, " No, no " Like Buck-
ingham, he chose to consider this a "cheer-
ful about and general acclaim," and replacing
the letters in his pocket i-esumed, " 1 obey ;
the correspondence shall not be read ; but the
stone is here ; you shall see it ; you are my
patrons, ladies and gentlemen, and you have a
right to be satisfied." Here he winked his eye
at the orehestra, which struck up " The Battle
of Prague ;" up went the curtain, and disclosed
a hugh sand-rock labelled, " This is the Stone."
It need scarcely be added that the whole thing
was a hoax from beginning to end. His pas-
sion for grandiloquont speech-making was ir-
repressible ; he never neglected an opportunity
of addressing the audience, and these ad-
dresses came to be regarded as a portion of the
entertULument ; many very highly amusing
efiusions of this kind have been pre-
served. While Manager of the Worcester
Theatre, he announced a grand display ot flre-
works for his benefit ; the house was a m«re
band-box, and such an exhibiti«n was totally
iinpracticable. This he well knew, and began
to adroitly work upon the Icara of the land-
lord by hints of the great danger of such an
exhibition. The latter immediately took the
alarm, and, aa Elliston had loreseeu, forbade
it. The announcements, however, were not
withdrawn, and the public swallowed the hoax
— what will it not swallow i — aud crowded the
theatre. Without any reference being made
to the great attraction ot the night, the per-
formance proceeded,- tmtil there gradually
rose a cry, which soon swelled into
a clamor, tor the fire-works. Then Elliston
.came forward wiih a stalely air ; he had made
the most elaborate preparations, he said, for a
grand pyrotechnic display ; nothing had been
left undone, but at last the moment came the
. refieetion— what of the danger ! The number
ot young, tender girls, of respectable matrous.
all collected to do him honor 1 What if the
thea're should take fire and be burned to the
ground, the property, too, of one of the best
aud worthiest ot men. Here he appealed to
the landlord — a most nervous person, who
was sitting in the stage-box, and who
shrank back into a corner — to publicly state if
he had not, lor the safety of hia property, for-
bidden the display. The audience, thankful
for the great " danger" they had escaped, ap-
plauded him heartily. " But, ladies and ^entle-
mtyi," he said, in conclusion, '• I am happy to
say 1 have made arrangements that wUl in
some way make up for your disappointment—
the baud (it consisted ol three very vile fid-
dieifa) — strike up ' God Save the King.' " His
harangues were not always confined to the audi-
ence ; they were sometimes inflicted upon his
employes. Piauch6 tells a good story of this
habit. He. (Planoh6,) had written a sort of"^
speaking pantomime lor the Oi.ympio, called
'•Little Riding Hood." On the first night
everything went wrong in the mechanical de-
juartment. When the jBerformanoe .waa over ha.. ,
^^ .
summoned all the carpenters and soene-filiift«n
on to the stage in front of a cottage-scene hav-
ing a practicable door and window.
" Elliston," to use the narrator's w«rd«, " led
me forward, and standing in the centre, with
his back to the foetlighu, harangued them in
the most grandaioqaent language— expatlatinz
on thie enormity of their offense, their in-
graj^tiide to the man whose bread tiiey wet«
eatlpjs:, the disgrace thev bad brought upon the
theatre, the cruel injury they had inflicted db
the yonng and promising author by hig aide ;
then, pomting m the most tragical attitude to
his wife and daughters, who were m the box-
he bade them look upon the family they boa
ruined, and burying his face in his baadker-
chief to stifle the sobs, passed slowly throueh
the door of the scene, leaving his anditort
silent, abashed, and somewba,, affected, vet
rather relieved by being .et o3 with a lectore.
The next nunnte the casement was thrown vio-
iently ooen, and thrusting m his head, hit
face all scarlet with fury, he roared out, ' 1
discharge you all !' I feel my utter incapacit'V
to convey an idea of this ludicrous scene, and I
question whether any one unacquainted with
the man — his VOTce. action, and wonderfti]
facial expression— could thoroughly realize the
glorious absurdity of it from verbal descnp*
tion."
An actor of some provincial fame once caned
upon Elliston by appointment at Dmry Lane
Theatre, fie found him upon the stage, and
was welcomed with great politeness. After a
time, however, the great manager conceived
the idea that his visitor was not sufficiently
impressed with his grandeur, a^d thought if
necessary by a coup de thUUre to inspirt
the necessarv amount of awe. "Yes
Sir," he said, with a most solemn ennnci
ation, " the drama — is now — at its lowest
ebb-^anH — " then breaking off, he cned, in (
loud, imperious voice. •• First night watcb
man ! " The man stepped forward, bowed,
and waited for orders. " And unless a mat«r
ial change — Other night watchman ! — a ma
terial change — I say — takes place — as Javenal
justly — Prompter ! Ar Juvenal justly ob-
serves— Boxkeeper ! dress circle, right hand
But, sir, a reaction must take place wben—
0<A«r boxkeepers ! Sir, I say there must ben
reaction — Copyist, callboy ! " Having colleot-
ea all these personages aoout him. he, without
taking any further notice of them, said to tfas
actor in a dignified tone, " Follow me." and
led the way to his private room. — ItmxiU Bar

iNSTANCB OF SCEST IN A DOO. — MaQJ
years ago, when in India, I had a hound of a
kind of cross-breed, which in India is known as
the Polygad. These dogs are unsoited for
coursing, but make splendid companions toz
long and rapid journeys on horseback, beins
able to go great distances wit jput fatigue, and
earing little for heat. Phakree, (beantifnl.) ior
such was bername, had been vy companion
for years, and during the time wij» seldom out
of my sight. When she had become old aad
unable to keep pace with me in my gallops, I
parted with her to a friend whom she seemed to
take a great fancy to, and who then resided on
the Mahableshwur Hifls. My own station. Poo-
nah, lay about eighty miles east ef Mahable-
Biawur,'and is separated from the hills by thrae
ranges of lefty mountains, which in those days
were covered with dense .pingle. On the da;
of my departure 1 cautioned my friend to keep
Phakree securely chained for some days, so
that she might not follow me. On this ocea^
sion — for I bad been the journey once or twiea
before — I left the main road and selected aa
unfrequented bridle-iiath for my route, in or-
der that 1 might enjoy the beautiful mountain
scenery through which it led. I had reached
Poonah, and had been there for several days,
living in my tent, when one night I was roused
by the howling of a dog under my bedstead. I
Struck a light, when, to my astonishment, thert
was peer Phatree, with a collar round her neck,
and a few links ot chain banging to it. A lettei
I rpoeived next morning from my friend gave
me to know that she had broken loose and ran
away, and that, although he bad made evet^
search lor her, she was nowhere to be found.'
He regretted that we should never see her
agam. She had been four days on her joiumey;
and her famished condition, and the numerons
wounds she had on her, showed the privation
she had undergone, and the treatment she had
received from the dogs of the ditterent villages
through which she had passed. The poor crear
ture had no doubt scented me the whole waj,
for had she tollowed or acoempanied any ona,
she would have heen cared for and orotected.
We never parted again. — Chambers's JourmU.. .

not at all times' appreciate its advantages.
With Kean and Elliston at Drury Lane, tht ,
business was so bad that the manager* were
obliged to call upon those of the company in
receipt of more than £4 a week to take a reduc-
tion of salary. Kean occasionally played to littl<
over £80. Nine years previously (1809) th«

feat ka did not acquaint the fiunlly to what particu-
lar aoint in tlus City he was going. A few hours
after ha left, the witoess disoovered that a pistol,
wnieh belonged to iila father, was missing, and this
circumstalioe, together with the fact that, two days
tpcevlwus, the father loaded the weapon for the first
tlma within the recollection of the witness, led the
^ boh to suppose that something was wrong. He ao-
^nainted his mother with his saspiolons, and, the
; fattiar haying failed to return at the appointed
' bonr, witness came to Kew-York to make luqairies
%a td Ills whereabouts. At Police Bead-

^alty blind, Elldebfandhiad not been engaged in

and frequently expressed a desire to die. George,
phe Count Joannes, who was present both as

who answered in reply tnat he saw hia

an h» #eat out into the yard and discharged it, and

TBE METHODIST CHVBCH.
COMSCDEEATION OF APPB0PBIATI0N8 FOR
MISSIONAET PDRP0SE8 CONTINUED—
THB WOBK IN THE SOUTH.
The Missionary Committee of tlie Methodist
Episcopal Church reassembled yesterday morning
at the Methodist Book Concern, comer Broadway
and Eleventh street, and resumed the considera-
tion of the appropriations for the support of the
missionary wora for the ensnine year. Bishop
Wiley presided, and Rev. Mr. Miles conducted the
devotional exercises. The dlaoasston of the Chinese
missionary work in the California Conference was
resumed. The result was the appropriation of
$9,000, as against fl0,234 last year. Tbe next branch
of domestic misaioiiary work was that among the
American Indians, and $300 was appropriated to
the Indians In Central New-York, In place of $400
granted to them .last year. The Indian Missions
in the Detroit Conference reoeivea 1900 last
year j this year tbey will receive 1700. The In-
dian work In East Oregon and Washington,
on the Columbia Kiver, received a grant
last year of f4pa; for the present year they
receive $300. The Indian work in Michigan re-
ceived $700, as against $900 last year. In Ncrth-
em New-Tork last year the Indian work
received an appropriation of $250 ; this year they
will receive $250. The Indian misBioas in Western
New-Tork known as the Genesee Conference were
aided with missionary money last year to the ex-
tent of $300 ; this year the appropriation was placed
at $230. The same work in Wisconsin last year re-
ceived an appropriation of f250; this year they get
$200 only. Bishop Harris called attention to the
needs of the Indian work in California, and stated
that there Was one reservation, known as the
Hound Valley Reservation, where there were 900
members of the Churc^ who were poor, and had no
Pastor, or other means of grace. If there was any
place on the earth where an appropriation for the
benefit of the Indian work waa needed it was at Bound
Valley, Cal. ^He moved that $500 be appropriated
to that work. The motion prevailed, after consid-
erable discussion, by a vote ot 19 to -10. Dr. Clark
then moved a reconsideration of the vote for the
purpose of obtaining further light. Dr. Beid, the
Secretary, stated that the Indians on that reserva-
tion coiisisted of about thirteen linndred petsons, ■
900 of wbom bad been converted and had joined the
Church. Thev were sittuted in the wilderness,
poor, and dependent upon the Government for ra-
tions lor their support. Five or six years ago they
were what are known as blanket Indians, that is,
wearing no clothing but blankets. Nine hun-
dred of them had been converted ; they were
fast becoming civilizBd, and had adopted the cloth-
ing and hsbits of civilized people. This work had
been donewithoul any cost to the Missiouary So-
cle^, besanse they had oeen so fortunate as to have
an Indian Agent who was k Methodist minister, and
he had done the work without any remuneraiijn
from the Church. They had lost the labor of that
agent, and ;were without any missionary. It was
not s new ihission, and ought to be taKen care of.
Mr. 0. V. Hovt made a strong appeal on behalf of
tne appropriatlou, and Bishop Ames, in his quiet
way, ooposed it. Tas vote was again taken, and
the approjiriation of J50O was agreed to.
'I'his brought the woi^k of apDropriations down to
tbe Enifbsh-speaking domestic missiuna. Dr.
Trimble asked for a statement of the amount al-
ready appropriitted, and the amoant remaminz of
the$5'45,000 fixed upon at the beginning. It was
stated Chat $366,430 had thus far been appropriated,
leavinefl3d.520 at.the disposal of the oommitree.
I^ast year the Conferences remaiuing to be provided ' erford, rusiiera,
lor received $325,400. Bishop Poster stated that the
old Conferences last year received about fltty-seven
thousand doLlars. AH the Conferences could re-
ceive within forty per cent, ot last year's appropri-
ation, or the old Coufeieaces could be lett
ont, and the Western and Southern Con-
ferences could then receive within thirty per
cent, of last year's appropriaiions. it was
fically deelded to fix the approptiations in the
Southern Confareoces, beginning with the Colored
Conferences. The Central Alabama (Colored) Con-
ference last year received $3,50Uj this year tney
receive £2,500. Pifteen hundred dollars were last
year given the Colored Conference In Dolawal-e.
Btshop Simpson moved the apnropiiatiou of vl.OUO.
which was agreed to. The Colored Confrjreuce in
Florida last year received $3,800; this yeaj the ap-
propiiation is reduced to (3,500. The Lexington
(Colored) Conference, received an appropriation of
|>l,dOO, a4iain8t $2,500 last year. The ci^cuaaion cf
the work m this eonterenco was very tboiougb and
interesting. Bishop Poster, in spealtin got the colored
people of ttie South, said he was a trieud of that peo-
ple, and as such be did not waat wronj; ideas to gain
credence in the Church. The efforts of the
Methodist Church to educate that people was tbe
noblest work in whish they were or could be
engaged. What they wanted was edacaCed men
and women to lift up and elevate ths»e people. It
was impossible to elevate the Ignorant neld hands
of the South by sending among ihem, as preaouers,
field hands as ignorant as themselves, who, fi^u-
ratiyely, and' almost literally speakine, did not
know their rigbt haQ|Cl Irom their left. Bishop
Simpson took issue with Bishop Poster, and ex-
pressed the opinion that the greatest eood was
always accomplished by the nativts, and instanced
the Pi]! Islands as aU example, and Bishop Ames
said that It was his firm conviction that it every one
of the colored Uetbodist preachers in tbe Sonta had
in hia pocket a certificate of eradnatien from a first-
class college, and was entitled to it, he wonld not
possess nearly as much infiaence among his people
as he does at present. They would be iif itd so ftir
above the plane of the people that they would be
unable to draw the train after them. 1 he Louisiana
Colored Confei-euce last year received i7, 500. Pend-
ing the discussion of this Confeieuce, the hour of
adjournment tor the nuun recess arrived, and the
time was extended, after which it was decidted to
adjourn over until Monday miTuine at 9:30 o'clock.
It waa moved and secKudud thai the repiesentatives

Secretaries and Treasurer, be appointed a cuiumiitee

INTEBCOLLEOIATE FOOT-BALL.
PRINCETON DEFEATS COLUMBIA IN THREE
STRAIGHT GAMES— THREE OF THE PLAT-
ERS RECEIVE liJJtTRIES.
The Stevens Institute Ground at Hoboken
yesterday presented a very animated appearance,
the occasion being the first of the annual foot-ball
contests between Princeton and Colnmbia Colleges.
Before play commenced, a McCosh Princeton Cap-
tain, asked that a rope might bestretohed between
the goal-posts ten feet from the ground, as iu Rugby
rules, the'baU to be kicked or batted over the rope
to score a goal^ Tbe request was granted by Co-
lumbia, and they, having won the toss, kicked off
at exactly 2:25. The ball was quickly followed
down the ground and passed to Train, (George
Prancia Train's son,) who batted aad drove it before
him in a most dexterous manner until tackled by
the Princeton backs. Laughlan for Princeton then
got hold of it and made a good try for goal, but the
kick, a drop, went just outside the goal-posts. On
being taken out, the Columbia boys played
well o|^ the ball and drove it across
the ground, Lynch makiag a good point,
the ball, carried by the wind, nnfortunately
Striking the post The heavyweight of the Piince-
ton men told after this, and the first goal from a
neat drop was kicked bv Dodge in twenty-fiva
minutes from the time of commencement. After
tbe kick off by McCosh for Princeton several severe
scrimmaiies took place, in one of which Nicoll, of
Princeton, was kicked iu the abdomen and hurt,
and Lindley, of Columbia, in another ni6l6e was
kicked in the ribs and had to be carried from tbe
ground, tbe game being stopped. He was laid on a
table for some time, but eventually recovered and
was taken home. On the resumption ot nlay, Dodee,
who played well, again made a shot at Colombia's
goal, the ball passing just under the stiing. Mc-
Calmot of Princeton, here got hurt in the knee, and
had to retire, Parmly, their umpire, playing in his
place. A good run bv J. Denny andaeain another
placed Columbias coalin jeopardy, but Train came
to the rescue and by a fine run and drop-kick sent
the ball well into the enemy's quarters, Piinoeton's
goal bpiag assailed for the space of a few minutes.
Again Dodge got hold of the ball, when a series of
foiUs took place until MoCook, by some fine play
and a drop-kick, sent '•he ball over the string in ex-
actly fift.y-niue minutes from the time of kicking off.
'The ball was set rolling for tbe third time, Price's
kick-off proving ineffective, as the bail was qnickly
returned^ and in less than four minutes several
shots were made at Columbia's goal, but without
effect, although Van Dyke only missed the goal by
a few inches with a good drop just under the tape.
Tram here signalized himself by a plucky charge,
saving the gsal and carrying the ball back to tbe
centre of the ground, from whence it was taken by
Burton (playing for Lindley) opposite Princeton's
goal, his trv, a gotid one, proving ineffectual. Again
the weight and good passing told, and the bail was
before Colombia's goal, a good kick by Eretsenger
capturinsr it after thirty minutes' play. Prom the
kick-off until the call of time, 5:15, the ball was near-
ly always in Columbia's quaiters. Van Dyke, J.
Denny, and McCosh trying their utmost to get
another goal, but wiihont sticcess, the game ending
in favor ot Princeton by three goals to none. Colum-
bia were short sbven of their regular twenty, which
may account for their easy defeat, but they did not
take it mach to heart, as their hearty cheers for
Princeton, reciprocated by the boys of that College,
testified to. The fjllowing were the players :

A FIFTT-MJLE BIDIIiG MATCH.
THE FIRST OF A SERIES OF RACES BE-
TWEEN CAPT. MOWRY AND JOHN MtJB-
. PHY — ^THE LAITKK VICTORIOUS.
Tne first of tbe series of long-distance riding
matches between Capt. Mowry and John Murphy
came off yesterday afternoon at Fleetwood Park,
aod was witnessed by several hundred spectators.
Toe agreement between the contestants is that
threo races are to be run, of 50 miles, 100 miles,
and 150 miles Tespectively, the stakes, it is said,
being t2,000 on each race. In the race yesterday,
each rider was allowed to use ten horses, changing
whenever he deemed it expedient. The horses
used by Capt. Mowry were brought from Califor-
nia, and those used by Murphy were American
thoroughbreds. Capt. Mowry appeared on the
track attired m white trunks, loose bine shirt, with
blue sash, and a white and red cap. Murphy
being dressed in white trunks, loose green
shirt, with green sasb, and a cap of
green filk. Mowry started somewhat
the favorite among the sporting men.
Both riders presented a fine appearance, and during
the earlier part of the race rode with much splnt.
Mowry was the more expert in changing horses,
howe-»er, and nearly always gained ground by this
advantage. When he waa ready to change his
groom would seize his horse by the bridle and hold
it whi'.e an assistant brongnt a fresh animal.
Mowry, catching a firm hold uf the saddle of the
latter, would then remove his feet from the stirrups
of the saddle in which be sat and, sliding to
the ground, would vault gracefully and
Quickly upon the back cf the fieah horse, and dasn
off on his juurney anew.
AUhoujfh the horses proved refractory in many
instance*, the rider^ generally accomplished the
feat of dismoumiiig and remounting with much
skill and litHe delay. Once, however, failing to
secure a firm seat upou one of the animals. Capt.
Mowry slid to the ground, ano was about to vault
again into tbe saddle when the horse broke away
and caused considerable delay to the rider before
be was again firmly mounted. In changing, Mur-
phy would dron from the saddle to the jirouurt, and
then, running to a tresh horse, whieh was held iu
wailing for him, would vault upon its back while it
was stiil standing. He rarely, if ever, adopted
Mowry's mere difficult method ot vaultingupon the
horse while it was rusniag.
Duiiag the fl.st. twentv-tive ruiles the interest In
the couLtst was enhanced by the ever-changing for-
tunes tf thoriieis. Very many times Murphy
daslied ahead of his competitor, and gained a lead
of stjyerai hundiud yards. It was destined
to be . cf sDurt duration, • ' however, lor
by his greater nimblentss in mounting,
Mowry quickly reduced tho distance
and shot ahead, gaining considerably upon Mmpoj'.
Thus the contest wavered, now seeming to be lu
one lidcr's favor, now in tbe other's, until both be-
gan tne last half of thtir journey. As the score
turned then, so did tbe lortuoe of the liiers also.
Murphy had been improyioc ia bis riding, and now
he began to gain on bis competitor's limo so much
that the otlds turned greatly in his favor.
As mile by mile was run, tiiia lead
was held by Murphy, and gradually increased.
Mowry made a gallant effort to diminish it aud re-
trieve the day, but the effort proved vain, tor
Murphy passed the string on the final mile luliy
B'.i hundred yards ahead of his competitor, having
made the entire distance lu 2h. and 25m., a gain of
Im. and 203. upon Mowry's lime — 2h. ii6m. 238.
Appenued is a table giving the time made by the
respective riders in each mile :
Slevin and several •officers started out
In search of the thisves; and they succeeded in ar-
resting "Whitey Bob." He was taken to the eta*
tion-hotue, where Mr. Gilson fully identified him as
the man who stole his watch. The prisoner was
arraigned at the Washington Place Poliee Court
yesterday, and remanded tor examination.

mous Menzies librar.y. The attendance was not as
largo ° as oc previoas days, and on the
whole there was a decided lack of spirit
in "the bidding. The prices obtained fcr
scarce books were by no means high, and some
decided bargains were made by the purchasers.
The first book of exceptional value offered for sale
was Sotheby's "Prinoipia Typographioa." This im-
portant book, the work of a London auctioneer,
sold for $37 per volume. William Stub's " History
of the First Discovery and Settlement of Virginia,"
&o., printed in Williamsburg In 1747. Considerable
interest attaches to thisliook owing to its iotrinsie
value, doubtful parentege, and its rarity. It was
purchased at tor keen competition by Mr. Cooke, of
Providence fer $40. The Lennox reprint of the
letter of Syllaoias, which refers to tbe second
voyage of Columbus, brought $35. The copy offered
fur sale was one of the 150 privately printed
by Mr. Lennox, iu 1859, for his friends. It
was superbly bound, aad iu fine .condition.,
Thomas, (G„) "Au Historical and GeograpbicaL
Account ot the Province ot Pennsylvania," printed
in London in 1698, brought $120, a sum below its
value, Judging from the fact that in 1873,
at an auction sale ia this City Mr. Sabiu
paid $300 for a copy of the same book.
Thomas' "History of Printicg" brought $13 j
Tloknor's " Life of Prescott, 1^3 ; Torrey's (S.)
" Pxhortation into Beformation," &c., Cambridge,
1674, $22 SO : a complete series of the
celebrated tracts of Kev. Dr. Tucker,

of God," a very rare specimen of the priming
of Peter Zengsr, of New-Tork. in 1726, brought
$45. An edition printed in 1804 bronglit $23. Tbe
tract detailing the circumstances connected with
the celebrated Bhode Island case of Grevett against
Weedon, printed iu Providence iu 1787,
waa puicbased by Mr. Ii Sabtn, Jr.,

little book, by an enterpriiine gentleman who en-
deavored to estabbsh a colony iu Newfoundland in
1630, Bold for $47 50; a volume of "Debates Bnd
other Proceedings of the Convention of Virginia,
June 2, 1788," went cheap at $13 50.
There was keen competition over tbe next work
of importance offered, namely, a very fine copy of
"TheLegenda Aurea," a genuine Wentyn de Worde,
dated 1527. Mr. Pisher, representing Mr. Drexel,
competed vrlth Mr. Cooke, ot Providence, for pos-
session of the gem.' The latter obtained it for $500,
and the auctioneer congratulated Mr. Cooke on
" having secured the next best thing to a genuine
Cniton." A Superb copy of Walnole's" '" Anec-
dotes of Painting iu England," London, 1828,
in five volumes, brought $26 50 per volume.
Nathaniel Ward's '' Simple Cobler,'" London, 1647,
went for $30 ; a moderate price, considering the ex-
treme rarity and merits of the work. Mr. Cooke
bought a duplicate copy afterward for $25.
The magnificent librarv furniture was sold in
the afternoon, and went for about half what is cost
to make it. A few gems ef books and rare and val-
uable entrravidgs were sold in the evening.iThe quan-
tity of Wasbiugtoniana was great and select, Mr.
Menzies having exercised good judgment and wise
discretion in ths selection of works referring to the
life and times of " Tbe Pather of his Country."
The fdmous " Journal of Msjor George Washing-
ton," printed in WilMamsbnrg. in 1754, brought $48.
Ths next book; offered for sale was another of the
wonderful gems of this extraordlDaty col-
lection. This was a magniflcient vol-
um.e containing fifty-four autograph letters
written by Gen. Washington to Gen. Reed, of
Pennsylvania. Tbe intrinsio value of such a me-
mento of Washington cannot be overestimated.
The bidding opened with an offer of 61.000 by Mr.
H. Beed. q|ud between that gentleman and Mr.
Cooke, ot Providence, it ran up rapidly to $2,200.
At this point Mr, Keed gave way, and Mr. (3ooke,
bidding $2,250, secured the prize. Another book, ttie
original manuscript orderly book kept by Gen.
Wayne during the Revolutionary War. was very
keenly bid for, and it ultimately was secured by

A NOTED PICKPOOKEl' IN CUSTODY.
At the close of the perlormanoe at the Union
Stiuare Theatre on Piiday night, Mr. Thomas Q.
Gilson, a lumber merchant, residing at Jersey City,
got on board a Uuivereitv place car with hia wife
and sister. The car was very much crowded, and
Mr. Gilson was compelled to stand on the platform.
The car had proceeded but a short distance when
Mr. Gilson was surrounded by three men, who
pushed him rudely and robbed him of bis gold
watch and ehaia valued at $175> They
then lumped off the oar and Mr. Gilson, owing to the
presence o* tho ladies under his escort, was uuable
to foUsw them. Alter (seeing the ladies safely
across the ferry, Mr. Gilson returnsd to this City,
and called at the Mercer Street Police Statiou where

TWO MUBDEBEBS SENTENCED.
CHARLES OSCaWALD AND THOMAS RYAN TO
BK HANGED ON FRIDAY, THE 5rH OF
JANUARY NEXT.
In the Essex County Court of Oyer and
Terminer, in Newark, N. J., yesterday morning,
Judee Depno pronounced sentence upon Charles
Oschwald and Thomas Ryan, who were convicted
some days ago of the murder of OfiSoer Brock. Sen-
ator Magic, counsel for the prisoners, presented the
affidavit of Barbara Linderho^ in which she swore
that she saw the men who left Mr. Bedell's house
just after the murder; that she had subsequently
seen Oschwald and Ryan In court, and that neither
of the men whom she saw on the fatal da.y was
Oschwald or Ryan. Upon this affidavit he asked
lor a new trial. Attorney General Vanatta replied
briefly. The court denied the application, and the
prisoners were ordered to stand uo. In reply to
theusual question Whether he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pronounced upon him.
Ryan said:
"Tour Honor, I suppose it is almost useless for
me to say anything. It is true that I have been
convicted of other offfuses ; but of this offense, with
which I stand charged, whatever my fare may be,
the Almighty God knows that I am innocent."
Oschwald. his companion in crime, uttered not a
word.
Judge Depue then proceeded to pronounce the
sentence, taymg, among other things:
'•(X tbe correctness of the vertiiat, the coart,
after a careful review and consideraii >u of the evi-
dence, entertained no doubt. The testimony yonr
counsel has presented to the court as newly discov-
ered is uf such a character that ia another trial ic
would not and ought not to have any weight agaiiist
the clear proof, made at the trial, of your identitlcii-
tion as the two peisons who left Baaell's house, ou
the mornltig of Aug. 3, with the black bag of stolen
goods. That the coiivietion was properly of murder
in the first dearee is manifest. The deceased did
no act of offense againat you, except such as
he miehi lawfully do iu the faithful ciisoharge
of Ills duty, ia the performance of wl.ioh he he-
tt^ically met , h'.s death. You wero engaged
in the commission of a crime wbich in law r^nks
oaly below that of murder. To avoid beiug appre-
hciuded for that crime, one of you, by the willful,
deliberate, and premeditated act of shooting, gave
the deceased tho mortal wound ; the other being
present, aiding and abetting. Por tbe crime of
which vou were convicted, the law declares your
livesa farfeic. Let me admonish you earnestly to
seek 10 makeprepaiaaou for that dread event which
shall close your ( anhly career."
In conclusion, Judge Depue formally sentenced
them to be haugsd in tbe yard ol the county jail,
on Pridav, the flfih day of January next, between
the hours t;f 10 A. Id. and 2 P. M. The prisoners
received their sentence without emotion. Ryan's
aged father, who sat by the side of his doomed son,
burst out iu an agony of gritf. The prisoners were
at once handcuffed and sent back to jail.
BIDING AT THE HIPPODROME.
The spectators at tbe Hippodrome last even-
ing had an opportunity of witnessing some very
remarkable feats of horsemanship, besides the
regular attractions of the circus and menagerie.
The feats referred to were brought ont in a contest
fjr championship in liding between Romeo
Sebastian, the champion "pad " rider, aud Charles
Pisb, the champion bareback rider. Though Mr.
Sebastian is best known as a "pad" rider, he did
not ciiBflne his efforts to riding with a pad, but
did some very sKillful bareback riding. He
turoed summersaults on horseback, vaulted
through paper discs, &c., in an astonishing
manner, and won frequent plaudits by his graoelal
evolutions. He was no match, however, for Mr.
Pish, whose performances w ere really astounding,
both as regaros grace and skill. Tbo judges of the
contest, consisting of six reputable newspaper men,
awarded the palm to Mr. Pish, though they com-
mended the graceful ridjng of his opponent. Oa
Friday evening Martinho Lowaude, the Brazilian
"buriicane rider." will contest a match with Mr,
Pisb lor the championship aud a gold medal.

THB DUNCAN-SHERMAN CASE.
CONTINUATION OF MR. DtTNCAN'S EXAMINA-
TION— TRANSACTIONS OP THE FIRM
WITH MR. LOW AND MR. DUNCAN'S
PATHER.
Tbe examination of Mr. William But'er Dun-
can wa« resumed yesterday Boming, before Register
Ketchum. Mr. P. K. Bangs appeared for Mr. Dun-
can, and Mr. E. P. Brown for Mr. E. Graham
Haight, the creditor who opposes the discharge of
Mr. Duncan. Following is the substance of Mr.
Duncan's testimony :
"I desire to make an addition to mv answer glrcn
on the 27th of October to the question, ' In your
cablegram, what did you mean by saying nobody '
suspects; confidence unimpaired?' I Intended to
say that our credit was' so unaffected that there
would be no difficulty in our continuing our busi-
ness indefinitel.v, by haying recourse to tbe or-
dinary sources of credit at oftr disposal,
but I preferred to obtain what I considered
reqoisite means from a Source to which I could and
did explain the true situation of oi:r affairs, aud for
a definite amount, and repayable at a distant period
of time, but to explain more fully the meaning cf
those words, I would ask vou to put iu the various
telegrams which were informally read at the time
that thu telegram, the basis cf this question, was
put in evidence. The deposits and moneys received
by our firm between July 23, 1875, and July
27, 1875, wete not kept separate and apart,
except for all foreign bills sold over the counter tor
those dates. Remittances through the mails to a
certain extent were set oa one side. Oar firm, I
think, on the 23d of July delivered to Andrew Low
certain receipts for merobaudlse which we held
previously for his account. These receipts were
for cotton and hemp, and were inclosed in a letter
addressed to him and delivered to bis agent^ Mr.
James H. Palooner, for approximately 4,000 bales
of ootton and 6,000 bales of hemp, valued at between
$400,000 and $500,000. I cannot say pu»i-
tively whether our firm made any other
transfer abont that time. The cotton iu qaostlon
was stored io various warehouses in this City, the
names of which loannotrecollect. These transfers
were made in accordance with an understanding
with Mr. Low that he should have the security at
his disposition, and we considered that we were
doing that in the inlflllment of this tinderstanding.
Mr. Low was in Europe at the time. There was no
written agreement in reterence to this trans-
action. Mr. Low paid no consideration at tbe
time the transfer was made. The checks
drawn by our firm in July, 1875, are with the par-
ties, probably, on whom they were drawn,, provid-'
ed Such pai'ties paid them ; I mean tbe Bank of the
State of New York. To my knowledge, neither
myself nor my firm kept any account in any other
bank dtiring that time, unless, possibly, the Gold
Exchange, or the Bank of New- York in the Gold
Department. I don t know whether all our checks
were drawn On the Bank of the State, although I
think they were ; I do not know whether my
checks or those of my firm have been withdrawn
from the Bank of the State of New-Tork since our
lailure."
Q.— In your telegram to your father, under date
of July 23, you say "Assets counted good, really
worthless." Plesse state of what these assets con-
Bistea ? A.— I cannot state specifically ; but they
were probably debit balances due to the firm; I
think, in general terms, those are what I referred
to.
.Q.— In a dispatch to your father you say: 'il
repeat; your personal interest safe." What did
you mean by that! A. — He had other personal in-
terests than those |lu any way connected *jth my
firm— where the idterdst was simply a matter of
account — and it was In reference to those other
personal interests niat I used that expressson.
Q.— -PIsaso state what " other personal interests"
you refer to in that dispatch f
This question was objected to on the ground of
immateriality. Thu objection was sustained, and
Mr. Brown excented.
Q.— What do you mean by •' when the interest
was simply a matter of account, " in your last an-
swer ? A.'. — I mean that the only business between
Mr. Duncan aud myself or my firm was bis account
vtith the firm and any changes in that account
whieh may result from his guarantee under the
letter of credit.
Q. — Then, did your dispatch refer to that letter
above? A.— It did not lefer to It at all, unless Mr.
Duncan construed that his guarantee under the
bank credit was protected if he had been made lia-
ble thereby, and very probably I Intended to con-
firm that fact.
Q —Did he have any financial interest in your
affairs or the affairs of your firm at the time this
dispatch was sent, other than that which you nave
Just stated i A. — He bad no ether interest.
The turcher bearing was then adjourned.

The Ninth National Bank vs. Pr«er.— motion to
change place of trial to Schuyler County ia denied,
with costs.
The Five Points House oflndttstry vs. Amerman.—
The order recites that the petition of appeal has
been duly filed. &c. What evUence is there in this
application that it has been filed ? The proposed
order is not accompanied bv any affidavit ehowiog
the filing of the petition of appeal. Rule 51 does
not dispense with such proof. It only declares that
when the petition has been filed, an order asked
for may be granted ex parte.
Waller vs. Phillips. — Nos. 1, 2, and 3.— Rule 73
forbids the appointment of the Referee suggested.
unless a consent from the parties is obtained. I
will most cheerfully appoint a Referee.
YanBruschatenvs. Wright. — Have any of the de-
fendants been served! It so, have they appeared?
And if they have appeared, in the absence ol con-
sents from them should the order asked tor be
made without costs?
Thompson vs. Thompson. — Assuming that the
plaintitf ia euiiried to a decree setting aside the
marriage, how tau I direct that the defendant shall
m.ike a periodical allowance to the plamtiti'? The
ooject of this action is to annul a marriage, not to
obtain a divorce. The decree presented seems to be
uuwRrraiited, ati^ 1 cannot sign it.
Gilbert vs. Gilbert— Tne proof of due diligence in
attempting to serve or find the defendant in jtbis
State should be made by the affidavit of some other
person than the wife. Laws of 1867, chap. 188, vol.
2, page 2.221. In this case the wife alone swears to
the (fleict service in this State. Further aifidavits
must be inrnished.
'Jhe MnlA National Bank vs. Freer.— It the phyn-
tift's theory of this case is a true one it can readily
be tried in'an hour. If such theory is not true the
plaintiff will pay the penalty ot being sent to the

Charged. Decision was reserved.
A COTTNTBRFEIIER ARRESTED.
Charles R. Sanford. alias Muiford, alias Wilson,
was arrested yesterday on a charge of passing a
number of counterfeit $10 bills on the National
Bank of Lafayette, of Indiana, in vaiions stores in
Seventb and Greenwich avenues. He was brought
before United States Commissioner Osborm and
frhen the examination beeah be was immediatelT
recognized by Assistant United States Attorney
Pullman as an old offender. Sanf 3rd. or Mulfard, or
Wilion, as bit name may be. was arrested exactly
One year ago yesterday on charres of passing $20
Connterf.-i; Treasury notes, by Capt. W. W. Een-
ndch. then in charge of the secret service denart-
ment of thii City. The proof then seamed positive
that he had passed three of these bills, wb(« his
mistress came forward apd testified that
at the time the bills were pessed he
was iu his room at her houss. Upon this
evidence tbe accused waa discharged on hia
own reoognizince by United States Oommiseioner
Shields. At first, before Commissioner Osborn yes-
terday, be denied that he was the person absve al-
luded to, and for tbe time it seemed a poor case
against him, but after awhilf. With a memory re-
freshed by the examination of United States At-
torney Pullman, he admitted it. In the meantime
Messrs., Wolfluger and MUHer, Who made the first
charges against him, were brought to tbe office and
fullr identified the accused. Upon this evidenea he
Was committed without furtber examination to
await the action of the Grand Jury. Malford^ as
he is known iu the Secret Service Department, is
recognized as en old band in tbe counterfeiting
bnsiuese, and the present arrest 1^ considered an
important one, as his conviction is almost assured;

MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS IN SCOTLAND.
From the PvU Matt Gazett^
At the opening of the inedickl session of
Glasgow University, last Tuesday, Prof. McCall
Anderson said few could doubt that a pre-
limiuary examination of candidates for adnissioa
to the classes was called f jr, bat if proof were re-
quired it might be found in the answers given to
the following questions submitted to candidates by
one of the examining biards; "What Is meant by
the antiqaiiy of man?" Answer: "The wicked-
ness of man." •' The Letters of Junius ? ',' "Let-
ters written in the month of June." "The
Crusades?" "A war against tbe Roman
Catholics during the la^t century?" "Tbe first
tneridian." 'The first hour of tbe day." "To
speak ironically ?" " To speak about iron." " A
Gordian knot ?" " Tbe arms of the Gordon fiffll-
ly." "The Star Chamber?" "Place for viewlne
the stars." " To sit on the woolsack ?" " Io be
seated on a sack of wool." "A solecism?" ''A
book on the' sun." " Tha year of jubilee ?" " Lean
year." Tbey conld, the Professor added, have ap-
preciated this last answer all tbe mors heartily lud
it emanated from one of the female medical stu-
denls. It is, however, only just on women to ad-
mit that they are, as a rule, serious in their
Studies, emd are not in the habit of joking examin-
ers. Theie is, indeed, an earnestness of purpose
In their efforts 10 compete with man which entitles
them to respect, and even imitation.
THS REBEL FLAG FLTINO.
The Harrisburg (Penn.) Telegraph of the ISth
lust, says : " A thoroughly reliable business man
of Harrisburg, whose affairs called him to Hagers-
town, Md., on Saturday last, found tha rebel fiags
flying, the Democrats cheering for Jeff Davis,
Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, the Black
Horse Cavalry, and th« Southern Confederacy. A
Union man's life in that town so near Harrisburg,
depended upon bis silenoa How do Democrats,
wlio are also Union men, like to have this condi-
tion of things existing so near the capital of Penn-
sylvania as Hagerstown? Do they not see to
what lengths tbe worst element of their party is
tending ? And are they prepared to follow ?"

Making no deductions whatever on tbe
kcoTO of Demooratio Iraud and intimidation,
Wd accepting simply the aggregate of the
votes as retnmed by the County Canvassers,
the Hayes Electors are found to have a ma-
|ority in South Carolina. This sustains
the position taken by Taa Times in regard
to that State on the morning after
felectioB, and shows how deliberately false
and misleading have been the dispatches
oari the subject printed by Democratic news-
^[lapers, and how still more misleading have
been comments for which these dispatches
fomished the text. It is only a week agd
since the World said " that South Carolina and
*JElond»have goneinTtLDEN's favor was prob-
able from the first.** Thb Times has steadily
Siaintained that f the > Democrats never se-
liooaly believed that tbey had carried either
of these States for Tildkn, and that ifc was
DMrely the partissm necessity of keeping
the result open for the purpose of fraudu-
lent manipulation 'which induced their or-
gams to set.^ up the late claim
that both - of these States were
''sare'* for *their candidate* In both
States ■ the legitimate majority for the
Hayes Eleotoia is very large, though the
nominal majority on the face of the
I*fcuma — ^fUse ,and fraudulent as manv of
them are— may be small. Neither State
SNras honestly considered doubtful on the
anomingjrfler election by the men of both
parties who were qualified to judge, and
TTorrda will as surely be found to have cast
U» vote for Hayes as South Carolina. •
TThis fact is iQade tolerably plain by our
Special dispatches of to-day, as also the
iS&trther-fact that the Democrats are exert-
ing their utmost ingenuity to defeat the
choice of the people in Florida. Democratic
eountiesi, from which the returns ought to
have been received some days ago, have
not yet been ofllci^y heard from,
"wliile from counties in the most remote
c#>mer of the State, majorities have been
confidently claimed by the Democrats long
In advance of any possibility of communi-
ostion with them. The work of " fixing "
the returns to show bogus Vnajorities for
Tiij>fi27 is evidently being pushed for-
■ward under orders from head-quarters,
fat, as the Sun remarked on the 9th of
November, " the election machinery of that
Btate is in the hands of honest men, who are
the friends of Gov. Tilden." Fortunately,
these "honest" persons appear to be
*t their wits' ends, and Northern Demo-
b™** who are awaiting the result of
thf-ir feats of arthmetical sleight of hand, are
iw ginning to lose confidence in the success
ff the very pretty conspiracy which Mr.
riLDBN's emissaries set afoot in Florida as
»oon as it was discovered that tbe State
wonld be required to* secure the election of
the " Seform " candidate.
, T!ie action of the Louisiana Eeturning
Bojurd in opening its doors to five of tbe
Ncrtbern vigitors of either party removes
arjother of the pretexts on which it has
lieen condemned. It was at the instance of
the much-abused Gov. • Kellogg that the
idea of personal visitation on the pait of
Northern men was first entertained ; and the
board has shown tlie same confidence in the
legality and justice of its course which he
expressed. Now let tne board pre-
vent further loss of time, and an
^hdefinite amount of squabbling, by refus-
ing to argne questions of jorisdiction or
practice with every hair-splitter j^hom the
Democrats choose to put forward in their
behal£ The board wisely acquiesces in
the presence of observers, as a guarantee
against imputations which any attempt at
absolute secrecy would entail ; but it will
be very unwise if it tolerate interference
'with the exercise of its functions, or listen
to windy arguments in support of fac-
tious objections. Its powers are beyond
eavil, its duties are plain, and it should
Buffer no dictation from persons who can be
present only by its exercise of courtesy.
J^Au. honest count" is the one thing needful.
;' On the other hand, the board cannot
fcK'ord to listen to thfe over-zealous Repub-
licans who urge that it shall swell tbe vote
In the State by restoring the full measure
of estimated Bepnblican fetreugth, on the
basis ef the majorities in 1874, in the five
parishes out of whic,h the Democrats have
Bontxived, by fraud and violence, to obtain
large votes in their favor. The figures which
Wftpublished some days ago, showing an im-
mense preponderance of Republican votes
hx the parishes in which the Republican
vote has been all but totally suppressed.have
cmdoubtedly produced a deep impression
throughout the North. They present a
vivid illustration of the manner and extent
^(tf the. injustice done to Republican districts
ribe Southern States, and a conclusive
vgvineat in support of the fullest possible
application of its powers by the Returning
Board. Care must ]>« taken, however, that
in the rectification of a great wrong there,
shall beuo appearance of straining autbority
for the accomplishment, of a party purpose.
The facts known respecting ttiose parishes
and other parts of the State call for a
thorough judicial investigation. If nothing
be ascertained to explain away the crimes
by which the reputed Democratic majori-
ties were obtained, the board must take the
responsibility of rejecting from the count
the returns from the defrauded panslies.
Beyond this the board ought not to go. And
justice requires that with less than this it
shall not be' satisfied.
Amid the excitement of the Presidential
election the people of New- York ought not
to lose sight of the somewhat muddled con-
ation of the affairs of the City. The dema-
gogues and speculators who run the Park
Department under the orders of John
Kelly have got into trouble again
by expending their legal appropriation
for the year in about ten months. Of
course, they are trying to throw the blame
for the inevitable consequences of their
reckless extravagance on other shoulders
than their own, and of course, the public,
when they find the menagerie closed and
the Park running to waste for want of
funds, will be apt to forget that their
money has been squandered in furnishing
fat places for the friends of Commission-
ers, and in supplying indirect contributions
to the campaitcn fund of Tammany Hall.
We had enongh of this kind of management
under the old Ring, but as the people have
lately indorsed the legitimate successors of
TwEBD, it is to be presumed that they like
It.
Unless public sentiment asserts Itself in
some rather emphatic way, it is tolerably
clear that we shall have rather more of Ring
government, by and by, than we can very
weU afford. It was only the other day that
the Tribune, in pursuit of its mission as a
"moral organ," nominated John Kelly as
the next Controller, and the same proposal
seriously repeated in other quarters
bas not excited any perceptible
indignation or disgust. Evidently by way
of testing how far public forbearance will
go, some eqiially unsuitable name^s have
been mentioned for the same position, and
in the present apathetic mood of the tax-
payers of New- York, the time seems quite
propitious for placing the City Treasury
in the hands of another Connolly.
The simple souls who imagine that
eminent and respectable banking
firms would refuse to negotiate the
City securities under such circumstances
should remember that New-York is gene-
rally supposed, in the financial world, to be
able to stand a good deal of plundering.
Somebody muse have made a very good
thing out of the Ring loan of fifteen millions
of six per cent, gold bonds sold at 104)^,
but credited to the City merely at par. It
is only under the rule of rogues tbat fat
pickings like that are to be had, and bank-
ing and politics have not always been found
to be an unprofitable combination.
TSE BESULl IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
The estimates on which The Times
claimed South Carolina for Hayes have
been vindicated by the gross results of the
official canvass. These establish the suc-
cess of the Republican Electoral ticket,
without any deductions or qualifications on
account of alleged "Democratic frauds.
They are arrived at, therefore, under the
disadvantages incident to the intervention
of the Supreme Court of the State, which
aippears to have exceeded its powers, and
to have play«d, as far as it dared to
play, into the hands of Hampton and his
party. With anything like an eflective can-
vass by the Returning Board, the majority
for the Republican national ticket would
have averaged thousands instead of the
hundreds by which the State is preserved
from TiLDEN. As the counting of the vote
for Governor is reserved for the Legislature,
the composition of which may possibly de-
pend somewhat upon tho farther action of
the Supreme Court, that point still remains
in doubt. Meanwhile, we kuow that the
State is assured to Hayes and Wheelek
To this extent it ceases to be a disputed
State.
Tbe Democrats propose to go through the
formality of protesting against the ascer-
tained result on the ground, as one dispatch
explains, " of irregularities, errors, and
omissions between managers, returus, and
statements of County Canvassers." Any-
thing more absurd cannot be imacfined.
What the Democrats now say ought to have
been done is precisaly what they were
most anxious should not be done, and
what they asked the Supremo Court
to prevent. Having insisted that the
duties of tbe board are strictly
clerical, and having obtained from tho
court an order requiring the board to count
the votes merely, without inquiring into
circumstances behind the returns, thoy ren-
der themselves ridiculous by now complain-
ing thatno scrutiny was made. Their pres-
ent proceeding needs no other answer
than that which their previous proceedings
supply. As far as the merits of the case
are concerned, our , own view is unchanged.
Under the Constitution the functions of tho
board in relation to returns — except-
ing those setting forth the vote for tho
Governor — are clearly judicial. Ifc was, and
still is, entitled to examine aU matters per-
taining to the returns — their accuracy, their
validity, their freedom from fraud ; and j ns-
tice to national as well as local interests re-
quired the exercise of all its powers. Only
thus can be determined the accuracy of
charges that have been preferred by both
parties, and their relative integrity in the
contest. Obviously, however, the duty
must be performed exhaustively or not at
all. It, as the Democrats pretend, there are
" irregularities, errors, and omissions " which
operate against them, and which they desire
to have investigated, the country will not
forget that there are crimes and frauds in-
numerable charged against the Democrats,
which the Republicans would gladly see
probed to the bottom. The choice now lies
between the acceptance of the gross count
already made, which determines the success
of Hayes in the State, and a revised count,
preceded by a complete examination of all
that enters into the legality^^and correctness
of the returns from every cpunty in the
State.
. By what right the Sunreme Court of the,
the Constitution
With this ex-
of the board is
State has asserted control over the action
of the Returning Board we are unable to
conceive. Thft Constitution which creates
the court also creates the board ; each in
its own sphere is supreme. Had the board
undertaken to decide as betweeii the two
candidates for the Governorship, it
would have assumed a function spe-
cifically assigned by
to the Legislature,
ception, the authority
ample for the effective discharge of
the duties intrusted to' it. It alone is em-
powered to determine what votes shall be
counted, and what votes are, from any cause,
vitiated, and therefore inadmissible ; and
in our opinion it would have been morally,
and in the end legally, justified, had it dis-
regarded Judge Moses' mandate, and per-
formed its task according to the best judg-
ment of its members. The fact that, in
spite ot the restriction improperly imposed,
its count gives to the Republican national
ticket a majority, serves to show how the
figures would have stood had the returns
been subjected to a thorough scrutiny.
A DISPUTED PRESIDENTIAL ELEC-
TION.
The public is familiar in every section of
the country with that peculiarly American
form of political vexation — a disputed elec-
tion. Hardly a representative body meets
in any of the States but that the seat of
some one of its members is contested on
one ground or another. Sometimes the
contest is based on error in countiag the
vote, at others on fraud ; sometimes on the
slightest technicality, as the misspelling of
a candidate's hame or the mistaken desig-
nation of the district in which he
is voted for, at others on a deliberate
attempt by illegal means to overcome
the actual will of the m^ority. No one at
all familiar with American politics can
have failed to perceive that this is one of
their most unpleasant, and in some respects
one of their most unpromising, features. It
is, therefore, with no small apprehension
that the more thoughtful portion of the
public face the possibility of a dispute over
the result of the Presidential election.
' It is unfortunate that the machinery pro-
vided by the Constitution for the choice ot
a President is of so cumbrous and complex
a character, and was, moreover, intended for
a use so different from that which has been
made of it, that the opcasion for a dispute
may arise very easily, while the means for
readily and conclusively deciding it
are not supplied. When people of
each of the States vote for Electors
with certain prescribed qualifications ;
when any dispute as to these Electors,
must be settled in each State in accordance
with the laws of that State, which may or
may not be in harmony with the practice in
other States ; when the ballots of the Elec-
tors are sent to Washington to the President
of the Senate — an officer who may, in the ab-
sence of a Vice President, be changed at
any moment,by the Senate ; finally, when the
ballots are to be opened iu the presence of
the tvro houses of Congress, without 'dis-
tinct provision as to how or by whom they
are to be counted and the result declared,
it is easy to see that there is only too much
room for partisan ^dispute. That we have
escaped it heretofore must be set down to
good fortune rather than to anything else.
But, since there are obvious defects
in the Constitutional machinery, it
is all the more the duty of all
good citizens to treat its operation
with the utmost forbearance, the utmost
desire to avoid any needless friction. It is,
in our judgment, of no slight consequence
whether Mr. Hayes or Mr. Tilden is Presi-
dent for the next four years ; but it is of
much greater importance that neither one
should take his seat with any serious differ-
ence of opinion in tbe country as to his fair
title to it. Any course, by either
party, having for its object the pos-
session of the Presidency by arbi-
trary and strained action, would be
a serious blow to the peace and prosperity
of the country, as well as to the stability of
our institutions. Nothing would tend more
to confirm in other countries the impression
that republics are not safe and practical
.forms of government, and that they are ex-
posed to unusual dangers of (fcnfusion and
anarchy, than a Presidential election made
the occasion of forced and arbitrary pre-
tensions. Wo have already pointed out
a number of plans of action suggested in
the Democratic journals, which show that
the counsels of that party are far from be-
ing free from a dangerous dejjree of rash-
ness in this du'cctioii. Their propositions
regarding the counting of the votes in
February next are jDarticulariy open to
this charge. That, process is but
vaguely defined by the Constitution.
It was doubtless generally supposed
.by the framers of the Constitution
that the electoral vote of eaYih State would
be clearly and conclusively arranged for bj'^
the laws of such State. The matter was
regarded as one purely for the State to con-
trol. In the early history of the Govern-
ment the great variety which prevailed in
the mode of choosing Electors showed
bow little Congress was supposed to be
likely to have to do with tbe
question. At the beginning of the
present century Electors were in
some instances chosen by pojjular vote on
the general ticket, in otliers by districts, m
others by a joint vote in the Legislature,
and in still, others by a concurrent vote.
The authors of the Cohstitution, supposing
that thej^ were simply providing for an inde-
:pendent board to filter, not to interpret
alone, the popular will, cated very little for
the mode of their appointment, and either
one that came into use would have an-
swered the purpose very fairly. The pres-
ent aspect of the question is, however, en-
tirely different. Though CongreBS Avas not
intended to interfere in the election, it has
certain opportunities for iufiueucing it, and
and on these the Democrats are trying to
persuade themselves that thoy can seize.
The Constitution provides, for instance,
that the certificates of the Electors shall be
opened in the presence of the Senate and
House of Representatives. But, say the
Democrats, what if the House of Repre-
sentatives is not present ? And the inference
is that the certificates could not be opened,
and the election could not be made. That
the election could not go. on in strict con-
formity to the Constitution is true, but it
would be interfered with by a most violent,
usurping, and revolutionary proceeding.
Any party that should descend to such meaxui
to interrupt tbe operation of the Govern-
ment would be guilty of gross infidelity to
the spirit of the Constitution, and would
do a great deal to strip the Government, to
which it aspired, of value and authority.
StiUmore desperate and dangerous would
be the assumption by the House of the right
to elect a President — a right which can only
accrue to it under certain well-defined con-
ditions. When such wild suggestions are
freely indulged in, they strengthen the
obligation which every .good citizen
is under to discountenance in every way
the exhibition of partisan feeling in so
grave an emergency. We are confident
that this obligation will be recognized by
the body of the people, and that the force
of public opinion will restrain the excesses
in which the more reckless party leaders
might ibe tempted to indulge.

FIGHTING SHADOWS.
The number of Democratic editors who
are goings to war is very large. Each one
of them is willing to be a Major Gen-
eral in order that he may save what he
calls " this imperiled Republic." Perhaps
we ought to except the editor of the World,
who would be content with the English
mission, where he can dine well and be
out of harm's way. But the rank and file
of the fraternity breathe out threatenings
and slaughter. They are ready to lead an
army to any place where there seems to
be a demand for that much-feared organiza-
tion— though we have seen no mention
made of a campaign on the YeU6w-
stone. Most of the belligerents fancy
a march upon Washington, where
it is thought, «anva8-back ducks are now
in season, and hotel accoipmodations are
much cheaper than they were when the
Democratic -House was organized last Win-
ter. Precisely what they are to do when
they reach Washington, or any other point
of attack, is not apparent. It is not to
be expected that the leaders of the cam-
paign will prematurely divulge their mili-
tary plans. Perhaps they have none. But
we are persuaded that the sanguinary con-
fiict which is alleged to be impeding has
more reference to the aforesaid ducks, (caTi-
cr(is, the French call them,) than anything
else.
Nevertheless, we submit that the spectacle
of a bucolic editor sitting down to write a
leading article, with'' his hands bathed in
gore, is not a pleasant one to contemplate.
Here is the able editor of the Albany Argu$,
for example, who remarks, in the fiercest
kind of double-leaded brevier, that " bayo-
nets will again gleam in Washington ," just
as though bayonets had not gleamed in
Washington, and elsewhere, any time these
twenty years past. Why, bayonets gleamed
in Brooklyn last Fall, and the show was
thought to be very fine. Nobody was
scared, not even when Gov. Tildiln
flew over his hor8e''s head and em-
braced the ground in the most ; eonvulsive
manner. Even Gov. Jll»ei^ was not
scared, for attentive friends picked him up,
wiped him carefully, ^nd set him on his
horse again, just as though nothing had
happened. Yet the Albany editor shrieks
wildly of swords, bayonets, guns, and
drums, and other thiags, in a nianner that
is quite dreadful to nervous people. Then
there is Mr.OTXENBOREER, who discounts the
war and the probable list of cashalties, and
drops a Teutonic tear over " the grave of
the Republie." Mr. Ottendobser is sure
that the funeral is ordered, and that the
corpse is bespoken. He will be there with
his celebrated bandana handkerchief, pre-
pared to indulge in the most lugubrious
variety of mourning. Even the Argua edi-^
tor, after cockiug his h^t over his left eye
aud strutting about with a chip on his:
shoulder, drops into the g.oomy-tragic
style, and refers with sobs to "tbe mufilod
peace of the grave of the Republic." One
can imagine this grim editor rounding off
his sentence with a consciousness that it
was truly blood-curdling, and then going
out to cheer his spirit with a glass of the
malt liquor for which Albany is so justly
famed.
Nor are our genial Western Democratic
friends willing that all the saltpetre should
be burned iu New-York. Mr. John G.
Thompson, who sees his fat office ot Ser-
geant at Arms of the House fading away in
the distance, was early in the field with a
general order which was an humble and
distant imitatioh of the fiery bulletins of
the gifted Watterson. " Not elect Tilden,"
yelled this Congressional dispenser of clerk-
ships and sinecures. " This is anarchy. It
is revolution." It is not likely that Mr.
John G. Thompson will give up his
place and consent to a renewal of
Republican rule without a frantic protest.
To him the supreme peril is a majority in
the House of Representativcji ; a Republican
victory is anarchy. "Ay, more !" he shouts.
" It is revolution," which mean's that he and
his will be revolved out of office. A Terre
Haute editor, catching the spirit of the Ohio
Democratic Chairman, strikes an attitude
and demands, " Ai-e we cowards aud slaves ?"
"Are we slaves; we working men?" whines
Old Ecdes in the play, when he is loft to
mind the baby. Tk,e Terre Haute belliger-
ent is plaiuly of the opinion that " we" are
neither cowards nor slaves, and that unless
Tilden is counted in, he will plunge into
gore and sacrifice all of his wife's relations
upon tho altar of the imperiled Republic.
The sanguinary shrieks have reached Bal-
timore. The Gazette, afLer rapidly uurolliug
a panorama of " bristling bayonets," "doga
of war," and "filthy military despotism," ter-
rified at the picture itself has created, cries
out, " In God's name, let this unmanly strife
be averted !" Certainly ; let the order be
issued at once. Let the blood-thirsty war-
riors who are now engaged in declaring war
(iu the newspapers) be informed that the
country has pronounced for peace. It seems
the proper thing to do. The unmanly strife
shall be averted, and tho Albany editor
shall sheath his bayonet, or do instead
whatever is proper to be done, when going
out is the order of the day. The editor of the
Express, to be sure, has constituted himself
into a Returning Board, and has duly de-
clared Tilden elected. He has mysteriously
hinted at terrible things to bo performed if
other people should prefer to wait for offi-
cial figures. And the Herald has broken out
with an eruption all over its editorial page
of" What does the Express mean ?" The con-
undrum is one calculated " to harrow the
feelings. It has not been answered. But
the Express likes a joke almost as well as it
does a sale of ten extra copies of its ad-
mirable tenth edition. Our neighbor doBs
DIVIDING THE PROFITS.
In The Times of Nov. 5, reference was
made to the high prices charged for
beef in this City, and it was sug-
gested that the purchasing public would
do well to start a co-operative socie-
ty, and to gave something of the butchers'
profits for themselves. It is perfectly well
known that coj-operation has been a failure
in this country. There is only one distribu-
tive co-operative store in this City, and that
is owned exclusively by rich people. Now,
such a society, if rightly constituted, ought
to be a success in this City, and it may be
worth while to point out the correct method
of fotming and conducting a co-operative
market.
There are two systems of distributive co-
operation, the London plan and the York-
shire plan. In the first, on which the Sixth
avenue store is founded, neither interest
nor profits are paid. In the Yorkshire sys-
tem interest is paid on the capital, ^nd the
profits are divided among the purchasers.
The London stores seek only to sell cheaply
without regard to the market prices. The
Yorkshire co-operator is wiser, for he con-
forms to the state of the market and pays
both dividends and interest.
Suppose it is desired to open a market on
the Yorkshire plan in New-York. The first
step will be to call a meeting of all persons,
householders and others, who are interested
in cheap beef. Having assembled as many
people as possible, propose to them to unite
in forming a joint stock limited liability
company for the purpose of buying and
selling beef. Put the shares at not more
than $5 each, and limit the number of
shares to be taTcen by one person to fifty.
If enough persons can be found to
take- up the required capital, let them or-
ganize and choose a President, Secretary,
Treasurer, two Auditors, and a small Board
of Directors from among themselves. In
this election give each member, man or
woman, oiie vote, and one vote only, with-
out regard to the shares they may hold.
Having organized on this basis, let the
Directors issue the shares and make the
first call on the capital, which ought not to
exceed $1 ' on a share. Then let the Di-
rectors, wi^th this money, buy out some
well-established market and place in it,
under a simficient salary, a good business
manager. Having secured the right man
give him sufficient money to open the store
and start the business.
In the meantime let the Directors prepare
a large number of tin tokens, stamped with
the name of the society and various sums of
money — ^twenty-five cents, fifty cent8,one dol-
lar, &c. Then open the market to the general
public, members and any others that choose
to come. Compel every purchaser to pay
cash down, and when he pays give him a tin
token representing the amount of his pur-
chase. Let the prices of the goods be ex-*
actly the same as elsewhere, and give the
tins alike to members and non-members.
At the end of the first three months, the di-
rectors should make out a full report of the
business for that time, with a balance-sheet
showing every detail of the business, wages
paid, money spent for goods, rent, taxes,
lights, carriage, &c., and the cash receipts.
This report and balance-sheet should then
be read before a public meeting of all the
stockholder's, together with the report of
the society's auditors. If the business has
been properly managed and the members
have patronized their store, there should be
a surplus over expenses. This profit should
then be ordered by the stockholders to be
divided as follows : First, pay interest on
the paid-up shares for the quarter; second,
two or three per cent, of the remain-
der to a contingent fund; third, a
bonus on the members' purchases ; fourth-
ly, a bonus on non-members' purchases.
That is, divide the surplus, after paying in-
tejest and contingent fund, among all the
purchasers. Let each member bring in his
tin tokens, and give him five, eight, or ten
cents on every dollar they represent, as the
profits will allow. If the shareholder has
paid up hia shares in full, give the interest
and bonus in cash. If not, credit his shares
with the amount, or enough to pay the
shares, and let him have the balance in
cash. If the non-member presents his tins,
pay him his bonus in cash.
At this meeting one of the Directors will
retire from office, and the members mav re-
elect him or choose another, as they see fit.
The shareholders will also, at this meeting,
vote to give tha Directors such pay as they
think proper. To estimate what this re-
muneration should be, the stockholders
should have i a full statement from the
officers of then* attendance at the Directors'
meetings, and in voting on this matter a
lump-sum should be allowed and divided
among them all according to their attend-
ance at these meetings. At the end of the
next quarter let the Directors make an-
other report ; let the auditors examine the
books, and then let the whole business be
laid before all the stockholders. If tho so-
ciotv prospers, divide the surplus, after pay-
ing interest, woikiug expenses, wages, and
contingent fund, among the purchasers, giv-
ing the members at least seventy per cent.,
and the rest to the non-members.
This plan is extremely simple, but its
advantages are very many. First, the shares
are low, are transferable, and may be
bought up by the society, if the member
wishes to withdraw. Second, the shares
earn interest aud the purchaser gets as
much of the profits as the trade he brings
will entitle him to. Third, tho business is
simple and easily managed, and it is on a
cash basis. Fourth, tho shareholders rule
the society, and the Directors are their ser-
vants and subject to such pay as the stock-
holders think they de.serve. Lastly, the
geueral public, having a limited share in
the profit, will bring trade to tho market
aud help the society to pay good dividends.
In such a society there can be no buying-up
of control because the shares have no votes.
The Directors cannot steal or waste much of
the society's property because the state-
ments aud stockholders' meetings follow
each other quickly. Their term of office and
pay is at the will of the stockholders, and
they must attend to theii" duties or forfeit
both pay aud place. The geueral public
finding that the tin tokens paid
over the coui^tei^ at every sale
have a money value, will be anxious
to trade there, and Vhon they see that the
members' tokens uret ovau more monev. thoy.
will be eager to join, that they may earn
the larger dividend. The shares of such a
society, if it is well managed, need not be
paid up in cash, as the interest and divi*
dends credited to them would in a few
months raise them to thefr full value, and
then they would be soon classed as good
paying stock. Such a society wotdd not in
any way interfere with the present trade,
while, if reasonably well managed, it might
tend to indirectly cheapen beef and mutton
for a very large number of families.
THE SENTENCE OF STROVSBERG.
The cable announced a day or two ago
that Dr. Strousberg's sentence was per-
petual banishment from Russia, and con-
sidering the troubles he has got imto by
going there, together with the fiact that he
is not a native of the country, we may
presume that the sentence is not one
which will particularly distress him. Dr.
Strousberg, who was born at Neidenburg,
Prussia, is now only fifty-three, and there
are not many men who have put more life
into as many years. Losing his father
when a boy, he joined some uncle8,)Who had
settled in London as commission agents, and
soon after became a member. His family
were Israelites, of the church of England.
He did all in his power to improve his edu-
cation, and at an early age became as-
sociated with some newspapers in
London. When twenty-five, he came out
to the United States and gave German les-
sons. It might have been supposed that he
wonld have found this a fair field for carry-
ing his vast conceptions into execution, but
this country was not at that period the.
place for such a man as it was to become
later. So Strousberg having realizedsome
money by selling at a heavy profit
a cargo of damagad goods, resolved
to return to London.N There he invested
his money in a newspaper, and then went
to Berlin as agent for an insurance com-
pany. Up to this time he had given no
sign erf the magnitude of his future opera-
tions, but in 1861, having become acquaint-
ed with some English capitalists, he re-
solved to become a railroad contractor, and
within six years was at work on a dozen
lines. His operations now began to assume
colossal proportions. He had large ^tories
in various places, and employed at one time
over a hundred thousand me9. He bought
a whole county in Poland, where, per-
haps, counties go pretty cheap, and an
estate for which he paid $4,000,000,
in Bohemia. He had a great mansion in
London, and his house in the aristocratic
Wllhelmstrasse at Berlin, was the wonder
of the Prussian capital. His charities f uUy
kept pace with his other expenditures.
The glories of this marvelous man culmi-
nated some six years ago, when a grand f6te
was given in his Berlin home to celebrate
his silver wedding. Just as the crime de la
crime of London once thronged Hudson's
saloons at Albert Gate — ^no w the French Em-
bassy, while Strousbbrg's mansion in Ber-
lin has been secured for the English — so all
the celebrities of Berlin flocked to the nul-
lionaireof the day with thefr congratula-
tions. But presently came the war of 1870,
and found him up to his ears in costly enter-
prises. The price of money rose, and he
had to pay rates for it which ate up all bis
profits. It is now said that if he could only
have completed hii^ Bohemian iron works
— the greatest on the Continent — he might
have pulled through, heavily weighted as
he was, and it was with this end in view
that he . persisted in carrying on, and thus
gave dire offense to many of his creditors.
There appears now to have set in a consid-
erable sympathy for this very gifted man,
whose crime in Russia seems to have been
one of which no cognizance would have
been taken in another country — the bor-
rowing from a Moscow joint stock bank on
inadequate security, whereas the Directors,
who have endeavored to make him thefr
scapegoat, were really the persons to blame.
With more moderation, Dr. Strousberg
might have been a sOcond Brassey. And
here is where the latter showed himself so
remarkable. " I never," said a friend, "saw
Braksky thoroughly wretched except on
one occasion, when Mrs. Brassey had set
her heart on a house near Lady Palme r-
ston's, in Picadilly." So hateful to him
was anything approaching to display or
ostentation. -Yet at this time Brassky, pay-
ing a rent of $4,000 a year, .was worth $25,-
000,000, and could have bought up the
street. It may be hoped that Dr. Strous-
BKRG may ultimately secure a solid and
comfortable - independence after his very
sharp experience. His wife is said to have
signed away to the creditors almost all that
had been secured to her, and sold her mag-
nificent jewels for their benefit.
THE CITY DEBT.
We hear a great deal, of late, concern-
ing the " wants " .of this City. We
want, it is said, more parks; we should
tunnel the Hudson ; we should span
the East River and the Harlem River
with bridges like thosie across the Seine and
the Thames, at Pa^is and London ; we
should surround the island with wharves,
aud docks, and piers ; we should continue
the fine system of boulevards which we
owe to the Ring, «&c. If *' some-
body " will kindly undertake these slight
improvements, he shall have fifty, yes, a
hundred, millions if he wishes. The people
demand a new policy and they wiU have
it, if new men are necessary to carry it out.
The " people " in this connection means the
8,685 City employes, who receive during the
present year $10,281,966 in salaries, for the
doubtful services they render to tjie citizens
of this much-governed" town. These office-
holders, not satisfied with salaries amount-
ing in the aggregate to nearly one-thfrd of
the total taxes collected in this City, throw
about millions of the people's money
in a free-handed sort of manner, which
will hardly meet the approbation o/
those for whom they attempt to speak. The
only man really fitted to carry out these
magnificent schemes, in the spirit in which
they are conceived, William Maiicy
Tweed, is, just at this moment — otherwise
engaged. But the people demand a
policy of retrenchment, economy, and're-
and bonds, $161,165,299 58. peftact ainkinfl
fund, $29,138,938 18, baiiouse, $132,026..
361 40. —7 --I
It is now over four years siace the Grant
Boulevard was substuitiallT completed
and yet soaroftly a doEoa building
have been put up on Ods metio
politan drive. In point tf^et, •!
this region is not, and will not for the nszl
ten years, be required to furnish additional .
facilities for residence or for busiaeas in thai
part of the City. This appears from tlM
fact that over thirty-fire miles of street*
and avenues above Fifty-ninth street and tc
the west of Central Park, which for the motl :
part have been completely finished and'
ready for.use since 1972, remain compara-
tively unbuilt on. Probacy less than om
hundred buildings are scattered here, and
there through this magnificent region.
The growth of ^-the City is practieally oa
the east side, following the line of the hotw
railroads, up Second, Third, Fourth, tat&
Madison avenues. Nearly twenty-eight ndl
lions of dollail were added to tbe City debt
<^iefly during the years 1872, 1873, 1874, fin
parks and avenues in this nortfa-westen
part of the City, aad yet we are told thai
more parks are wanted. We haveat^raa

It is probable that these, with the new on«
recently opened <m the east side, neat
the river at Ei|^ty-Birth street, will foi
some time to come amply meek all om
"wants" in this dfrection. There wen
likewise two other squares — ^Hamilton, oi
fifteen acres, and Observatory place, of
twenty-five acres— which if we are not mis-
taken, were relegated to private uses, as b^
ing unnecessary in view of their close prox<
inuty to Central Park. The people of this
City are in no mood at present, to bur-
den themselves with fifty or a bandied mil-
lions of additional debt, to be sqiiandered ot
boulevards, bridges, puks, tunnels, aa4
whatnot. They are in no mood to im-
poverish themselves still fizrth» for Um
purpose of enriching some eight or Bint
thousand office-holders, thefr foUow-
ers and retrain^rs, irho are sooldiig
the very life-blood out of this cotat
munity. Tweed's system of pabUc im-
provements is faithfully catried on by hit
suceessors. The ' new CouTt-honae, which
under Tweed's r€gime served as an excuse
to draw nearly fourteen millions of dollars
from the City Treasury, is about to oost na
$450,000 more — a four-story white marble
wing covering a superficial area of fifty by
seventy-eight feet, is now mnder way. How
much would it cost Mr. Astok to erect two
four-story marble stores each ^x78 teetf
Certainly not more than $40,000 apieeeb
This steady increase of the City deM
will, if not stopped, drift ns into bank-
mptcv, and that before muiy yeaa
TUi the people of this City rally to tbi
cry of "no further increase of the CitJ
debt," it is worse than useless to attempt
to remedy the existing and oonstanl^
growing abuses. The present system ii
glaringly wrong. The amount of taxes im-
posed by the Board of Supervisors has iat
creased from $28,228,490 57 in 1873, to 936,-
367,744 75 in 1875, an increase of $8,784,681
in two years. This enormous taxation rep
resents a yearly tribute on the labor, com
merce, and capital of New-York whicl
paralyzes every branch of trade and arrest
the growth of the City. The people haT
the remedy in their own hands. Whs

Pa&is, Monday, Nov. 6, 1876.
All the journals, mthouf regard to party,
Itcpresa Batisfiution at tlie deolaration made
the other day by the Duo Decazea respecting
the r61o of Frttnce in the drama now being
played out in th6 East Tbe journals of all the
leading capitals of "Europe express the same
opinion, and say that the moment may arrire
when the intOTferanoe of the French Govern-
ment, as an arbitrator, may nave a strong ef-
fect Qp«n the coarse of events. In case a «on-
ferenee becomes necessary, France can take
the initiative, with the consent and good
.■Will of all parties. And It may turn out that
France will have a greater rdle to play than
any one suiC>eot8 at this moment, for things
appear to me to be growing worse instead of
better. True, ^the armistice has been signed for
two months,* and may b^ extended for two
months m<»e, but what then ? We have no
reason for euoposing that the diplomats can
come to any arrangement The truth is that
all the diplomats in Europe are not
fttrons enough to pit themselves against
Gortschakofif "tod Bismarok, who ' are con-
ducting this diplomatio campaign in
their own way. The two Chancellors
will settle things in their own way if they re-
. main in accord, and as neither seems favorable
to the settlement of the question proposed by
Ehigland, I can have no hopes of seeing the
isresent armistice terminate in a treaty of
peace. Those who have kept the run of the
telegraphic dispatches from Europe during the
past few weeks must recall the tour of the King
of Greece, and some may have noted the tele-
gram published on his jretum, which stated
that the Army was to be placed on a war foot-
ing. The King came to complain that Greece
had been ignored in the negotiations that have
been going on, and asked that she might have
lier part m the affair, being more nearly
interested than many of tbe other Powers.
What transpired during the seeret interview
betwe^ King George and the Czar is more
than I can say, but I hav6 an idea that an ar-
rangement was made by which Greece is to en-
ter the present struggle ai^d take up arms
against the Turk. Bussia can no longer de-
»pend upon the Servians. As your correspond-
ent predicted, they have shown the greatest
cowardice ever seen. Since this meeting of the
sovereigns they have deserted their Bussian
"friends and allies, leaving them to be crushed
by gnperior numbers and massacred upon the
field of battle, and the Czar of the Bussias will
have nothing more to do with them. Instead of
being the first people of a great Sclav Ecapire,
they will be the last people in any combination
that may be brought about, and a crushing war
tax will be put npon them. No people ever
had a finer opportunity, perhaps, and none
eyvp yet showed so much cowardice in their
own defense.
Now the Emperor of Bussia has turned his
attention elsewhere. With the consent of Oter-
" many he has poshed Boumania forward, and
ihe is again pressing the demands made some
Hme ago. The gist of them was the recogni-
tion of the historical name ot Boumania, and
the granting ol a status which is nearly equal
to complete independence. If granted, the
Uens binding the vassal State to the suzerain
wonld be so slight that they could be snapped
At any moment. And this time Boumania
makes her demands with the consent of Bus-
sia, and backs them up by a show of force.
Her regular Army is now echeloned along the
Danube, and she has called out her reserves.
So much for this side, and on the other we see
loarcely less activity. Tne Greeks are certainly
preparing for war, and they will probably be
ready to take the field against the Osmanli
when this two months' armistice is over. It
they are not, Bnasia will have it prolonsed for
another six weeks, for the Porte oaimot retuse
to grant the time required by its enemies to
work its ruin. It is believed iiere to-day that
file Gh«ek8 will be leady to enter the campaign
in two months, and, to give a reason for my
opinion upon this point, let me say that a free-
tanee friend, who has fought in many lands,
has just been engaged as an officer of the
€treek Army. He leaves in a few days with
Ub staff, going directly to Athens, viaBrindisi.
Hence I argue that the war is by no means
over, and that the most interesting and excit-
ing part of it is yet to come. With the Greeks
attacking upon one side, the Boumanians ou
the other, the Servians, or rather Tchemayeflf,
m front, and the Montenegrins on tbe flank, all
backed tty Bussia, I imagine that Adrianople
wiU soon fall into the enemy's hands, and the
power of the Porte in Europe be limited to Con-
stantinople, and a small strip of fand along
the Golden Horn covered by the heavy guns of
the English fleet.
I wrote you that M. Dn Sommerard had
denied tbe authorship of the letter attributed
to him, which appeared in the tigaro, and noted
a significant telegram about tne incident Vhich
appeared in the evening journals. It stated
that the Deutsehes Zeitunq would publish a note
oeknowledging that the letter given by it over
the signa-ture ot M. Du Sommerard was apocry-
phaL Naturally we looked with interest for
the note. This is what we find In the journal
. hx question:
? " The odicial telegrams sent out yaaterday con-
taiaed one dispatch from Paris, declaring that the
tetter inserted in the morulDi; edition of the DeuUches
Zeitung of Oct. 18, was aoocryphal, and giving it the
lie in due form. We are obllgBd to declare that the
•aid letter was comnmoicated to us for paulieation
by a persom worthy of all confidence, and, so far aa
we are concerned, it was published in good faith,
andinthefa!! belief that it was authentic. We
abstain from attacking the declaiatluu of M. Da
Sommerard, for, so far as we are concerned, not a
■ingle reproach can be addressed to as on acconnt
' of tbe po'Dllcation of this letter."
It will be observed that this is totally differ-
ent from the statement predicted in the French
dispatches, the Vienna journal refusing all re-
Bponsibility, declaring that tbe letter was re-
ceived for "publication from a person worthy of
Confidence, and published in good faith as au-
thentic. Clearly the guilty person has to be
•ought elsewhere, and M. Da Sommerard must
find him. It is his duty now, in order tore -
tieve himself, to prove tbat his fnend was the
fiorger. Unless he can do this the blame falls
baek upon him, and he will have to suffer. I
fancy that we shall soon see tbe resignation of
M. Du Sommerard in the official journal, though
it is possible that the forger or a scapegoat
may yet be found. As he occupies a high and
laorative position, he could well afford te pay
a man handsomely to take the responsibility
and to confess the act.
> It is a doubtful question just now as to
whether or not we are in the midst . of
another crisis. As the telegraph has already
informed you, the Eepublicans gained a vic-
tory upon the amnesty question, and the Min-
istry suBtidned a quasi defeat. M. Dufaur^ was
certainly badly treated, and is in bad humor.
There is some talk^ of his resignation, but I
believe that the defeat has been accepted and
the idea abandoned.

A CHOICE COLLECTION OFPAINTIN&S.
There is now on «fxhibition at Miner's Gal-
lery, No. 845 Broadway, an nncommonly pood se-
lection of pictures by American and foreien artists,
to be sold on Taesdav and Wednusday of this week.
For a time this collection TPas in great Jeopardy in
consequence of the dre which occurred in an ad-
jacent building onthe night of the -Presidential
election. In the excitement of that occasion sev-
eral paintings were stolen, but the gallery is now
intact, and no harm was eufi'ered bv the works of
art. Amone the pictures by American artists,
Eensett is represented by an admirable example of
his best manner. The picture is a large and im-
portant one, the subject being a broad view in the
Cattskills. It has all of the depth and tenderness of
the lamented artist's happiest vein, and is likely to
attract much competition at the sale. F. E. Church
has one picture, an Andean subject. It is one of his
less recent works^ and may be said to com-
bine his lault-s and graces of the pencil in
about an equal proportion. A striking effect of
sunshine and shower shows S. K. Gifford at his
best. It is a view on the Shrewsbury River, the
stream lighted by the yellow declining sun, and
the ocean — separated from the river by a marshy
spot of land — ^lying nnderthe shadow of a cloud.
Arthur Qnartley has a capital coast scene ; the
headland is in strong light and the sea in cool grays
and purples. Thework is vigorously painted. An
example of Samuel Golman's best manner is a view
on the Gnadalqoiver. It is characterized by that
depth and richness which we have been taught to
look for in Jiis work. A landscape from Thomas
Doughty'* pencil recalls that artist of the old
school, whose pictures are now seldom found in the
sale galleries of this country. It is, like most of
Doughty's work, cold In color, and even
sombre. But it is a very fine example
of the manner of one who was conscientious
in his art, and who did much for Amori-
can landscape painting in his day. A group of.
ducks, painted by Mr. Dolpb, and one of quail, by
A. F. TaiT, are charming hits of out-door study,
the former being especially noticeable for the dell-
oacy with which it is painted. Ihe late Emanuel
Leutze is represented by two theatrical-looking
pictures whion may attract the attention of those
who admire Lentze's genius. Both of the Harts
are represented in this collection, the
example of James M. Hart, being a par-
ticularly good one. It is called "Neon-time," a title
not specially descriptive In the foresroand is a
shaded brook, across which some cattle are slowly
wading, one of them worried by a dog. A hot and
sunny village street fills in tbe background, and is
painted witb considerable fidelity and purity. S. J.
Guy, Edward MoraOj J. F. Cropsey, George Inness,
Albert Bierstadt, and other well-known artists
grace the catalogue and contribute to the real value
of tbe collection. Of the foielga artists, Andreas
and OswaM Achenbacb furnish, probably,
the most notable pictures, .though a senti-
mental work by Baupp, of Munich, at-
tracts much attention. The " Andreas Achen-
bach" la a stormy coast scene, fall of the breezy
power and wildness which he renders with so
much success. A female bead, by Merle, is deli-
cately pamted, and is cbarmlng in its natural rose.
An "interior," by Ednard Frere, is sufficiently un-

GOING ROUND THE WOBLD.
A , LECTURE BY RBV. DR. H. J^. FEELD— HIS
VIEWS CONCERNING THE SICK MAN OF
TtrKKEY.
The first of the regular Winter course of free
lectures m tbe mam hall of the Cooper Union was
delivered last evening. The lecturer was Rev. Dr.
H. M. Field, of the New- York Evangelist, and his
subject was "Going Bound the "World." The Doc-
tar has recently returned from a trip arennd the
globe, extending over a period of fifteen months.
He began his tour by going to Ireland, a land of
whose beauty he spoke in glowing terms,
thence through Scotland to England, where
he was charmed with all he saw.
Passing rapidly through smoky London with its
fotu: millions of inhabitants, tbe speaker carried tbe
attention of his hearers across to France, where he
contrasted the gay, lively, efi'erveseent and mercu-
rial Paris with the British oarlfcal witboul doinz
violence to the feelings of the partisans of either city.
From France, tbe Doctor ionmeyed to Switzer-
land, describing on his way Geneva and
Moot Blanc, the monarch of mountains ; Baden,
jUayence, Beleitmi, Holland, Italy and Greece.
From Greece he directed tbe attention of his audi-
ence to tbe Empire of the Sick Man of the East.
After describing in a hurried way the uncleanhness
and the lack of architectural beauty ol Constaati-
nople, ne spoke at length of the Empire. The Gov-
ernment is as bad as it can be — cruel and deeiaded
— and it has Deen shown conclusively tliat reform is
out of the question, and yet Christian England is
trying to uphold it ! The tear was expressed by
some that if the Turk is driven out Russia will step
in. This, the Doctor held, was an nnoecessitry fear,
for since England holds Malta and Gib-
ralta, and France possesses Algeria, Rus-
sia can have no chance of ever taking
and holding Constantinople. But to drive Turkey
oat of Europe was no easy task. Her army was
one uf the finest in the world, and in some respects
her soldiers were superior to those of England
even, for tbey can li\e on a crust of bread and a
bunch of grapes or olives, march all day and night,
and the next day go gaily to battle. Long ago the
Czar Nicholas had Siid that Turkey was "the Sick
Man," but before this sick man can san be banished
from Europe — beioie he can be driven acjrusj that
narrow atrip qf water Into Asia, it would be found
that he was iddeed a very vigorous individual.
Dr. Field Spoke about one hour, aud was fre-
quently and warmly applauded.
THE TIMES' ELEOnON RETURNS.
From the Plainfleld (N. J.) limes, Nov. 16. '
Of all the newspapers The New-Yoek Times
is tbe most trustworthy authority on election re-
turns, having tne completest fiicilities for obtaining
reliable information. Tne day after tbe election it
announced that the result was still in doubt. On
Thursday morning it had received sufiiciens returns
to make it confident tbat Hayes was elected and all
subsequent intelligence has confirmed that jourual In
the position then taken. Uuscrupulous persons
have taken advantage uf the closeness of tbe vote,
ard for reasons best known to gamblers and spec-
ulating newspaper publishers have kept ths coun-
try in a state of excitement by circulating lying
liispatches, many of them uD^tuthorizod and un-
signed, from the States of South Carolina, Florida,
and Louisiana. On messages like these the Demo-
crats have built tneir hopes, at one time that ali
these States were theirs, at another, that at lease
Florida had been carried forTilden.aiidflually if this
was not tine, that Louisiana is surely theirs. Bat
all tbe while there Tics been constant proof sent to
the beari -quarters of the National Repubhean Ex-
ecutive Committee that these States have all been,
oairiea bv the Repnblicans, and au official caunt
has been no mora necessary to determine th« result
than it was to make sure of the general result in
Colurado, which was announced as Republican the
day following the election, though the Democratic
pregs fooled with the American public for several
weeks in claiming the victory tor themselves, just
as it 18 now trying by lis bravado to hoodwink tbe
people into the belief that Tllden has been elected.
y _^
IMPATIENT TILDENIIES.
The Selma (Ala.) Times of the 15th mst. says :
" It appears to us that it would be better for those
see'iing Federal offices to wail till after the count-
ing ot the electoral votes is finished before circu-
lating bciitiuns. It is a matter of taste, we know,
but it striiCL's us that aspirants should go slow, just
a little. This will be one of the most trying or-
deals that tho»e having the power of disposing of
the oiBees will have to go through, aud we really
pity them."
^
MORE DEMOCRATIU HFOILS SEEKERS.
The Baltimore American of the 17th iust.
says: "Ex-Gov. Swann of this St;tte has just re-
turned trom a visit to Gov. Tilden, of JCfew-Tork,
and describes his interview with the gentleman who
wants to be the next President of the United States
as of the most agreeable character. Mr. Swann evi-
dently took time by the lorelock. Some of his old
autafiouists are already in tbe field for favors from
the Government, should it happen to fall into Mr.
'Xilden's hands. The number of candidates for the
dllferent Federal offices in this city is enormous,
and more thau sufficient to fill all the Custom-houses
and Post Offloas iu this country. The Eleventh
Ward alone has at least a dozen candidates for Post-
master. Collector, an# Surveyor of the Port. As
showing the wisdom of Mr. Swann'a course iu going
to New- York to 'fix things early' it may be stated
tbat when a delegation of this city visited tbe late
'President Pierce ou tbe day after his inauguration
^'•s President and xeauested the anDointroant. of Mr.
Davidson as Colleetor of the Port, tbe President
gave them to noderstand that he had pledged this
difioe to Hon. Philip Francis Thomas in iraBuarv of
tuat year, and that, however favorably be might b*
disposed to appoint Mr. Davidson, the appointment
had gone out of h|s bands months before bo was
President of the TTnited States. Mr. Davidsou,
however, received the next best office in ',ho Presi-
dent's gift, and was appointed Postmaster of Balti-
more."
TEE MISSOURI CONGRESSMEN,
THB COJNTKST USt THE THIRD DISTRICT —
HOW THE REiPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WAS
DEFEATED BT ONE MAJORITY.
Si. Loms, Nov. 18.— The question as
to who was elected to Congress from
the Third District in this city has
not been decided, and has been a matter of much
comment and some excitement throughout the
city. Yesterday two members of the County
Supervisors, with the County Clerk, met aa a Can-
vassing Board and began an examination of the
county returns, previous to certifying them
to the Secretary of State. it appears
that from one of the precincts i272 votes had been
returned for Frost,- tbe Democratio candidate,
hut tbat alter the returnis reached tbe
County Clerk's office, th^se figures were
changed to SJ92. The County Clerk had no know-
ledge of this change, yet he stated he believed the
returns had been tampered wii)h in
his office, and wished the matter to be
investigated. The canvassers having only minis-
terial powers decided they could not go behind the
fact <of the returns, and therefore counted 293
votes for Frost. This gave the latter a majority
of one, T^hereaa had the original figures
been counted Metcalf (Republican) wonld
have bad a maiorlty. While the proceedings
were being had m the County Clerk's office. Mr.
Metcalfe applied to the Circuit Court for a manda-
mns to stop proceedings. The writ was
issued, and the transmission of the
returns to the Secretary of State was stopped un-
til the case can be heard before the Court ou Mon-
day. The ohjeot of the mandamus is to
prevent the issuance of a certificate
of election to Frost. Just prior to securing the
writ of mandamus on the Board of Canvassers, Col.
Barnard, aocompaOied by United States Deputy
Marshal Geggie, arrlvod at the County
Clerk's Office, with authority to arrest the Can-
vassers and legal advisers, on a charge of falsifying
the returns, but tbe action of tbe Cironit Court sat-
isfied them, and they have deferred action for the
present.

the Sheriff betore be surrendered.
FELL IN TBE RIVER.
An unknown man, about thirty years of age,
fell overboard last night at Pier No. 55. East River,
and would hav? been drowned but for PatrolmanGor-
man, of tbe Thirteenth Precinct, who leaped into
tne water and rescued him. When taken from tbe
water, tbe man was insensible, and in that oonai-
tion was taken to Bellevue Hospital.
A MILKMAID INTERRUPTED.
TheVicksburg (Miss.) Herald, of the 8th
inst., says : " Yesterday mDrning a negro woman
employed as eook at Mr. Ben. Scharff's residence,
had an adventure which nearly frighteaed her to
death. The woman's husband is in the habit of
leaving earlyln the morning, and she generally goea
to the gate with him to turn in ^thu cow and do
the morning milkiag. Yesterday morning she
went out as asiruil, and after her husband had
pa»sed out she set to work milking.
She heard the gate epen after she had sat down,
bat supposed it was her husband, and paid no at-
tention to it until she felt something pushing her,
when shA turned around, and was horrified at be-
helding a large black bear standing by her side.
With a scream of fright she threw down the milk
pail and ran toward the house without stoupiag to
look back. The watch dog and the cow 'seeing a
bear in the yard, proposed a figkt with tbo ' var-
mint,' and chased him around the yard until
bruin endeavered to scale the fence. About this
time Mr. Seharff appeared at his window with au
old army gun, loaded with slugs, and blazed away
at the retreating bear. Bruin succeeded in getting
over the fence and oat of the way, and whether any
of the slugs took effect or not Is only a matter ef
conjecture, ak he did not step long enough to have
his woimds examined."
SEVENTY TEARS A SOLDIER.
The Emperor William will celebrate on the
Ist January, 1877, the seventieth aaniversary of
his entry into the military service. All the Princes
of the House of Prnssis, says the Kreuiz Zeiiung,
in alluding to this subiect, form part of the army
from their tenth year. Consequently the Emperor
ought only to have been .admitted tbe 23d March,
1807; but the misfortunes which bad fallen upon
Prussia at that period explain tbe Prince's entry
into the army somewhat sooner. On the Ist
January, 1807, ^K'ng Frederick William III., ad-
dressing Prince William, at the reception on New-
Year's day, said to him: "As very possibly, ou
your f^te dav, I may not be ahle to proceed formal-
ly to your admission into the army, since .von will
all have to leave immediately for Memel, I at onca
appoint you an officer, and I make you a nresent of
an eiisigii'a uniform."
AMUSEMENTS.
.DRAMATIC.
FIFTB AVENUE THEATRE.
Mr. Daly produced " As You Like It" at the
Fifth Avenue Theatre last evening. The perform-
ance was enjoyed by an audience that filled the
house in every part, and the applause was lavish.
Most of the lodioations of approval were merited.
Although "As You Like It " is only intended to
remain upon the boards for less than a fortnight,
its revival has been made the ocoasion of pressing
into service the principal artists of Mr. Daly's com-
pany, and of exhibiting scenor.v and dresses such as
are nsnally prepared for performances destined
to be repeated nightly for many months.
Representations of this sort must com-
mand respect and onght to be attractive,
and the success of yesterday's foreshadowed
that both the managerial pride and the managerial
exchequer were likely to be gratified during the
brief reign of Shakespeare at the Fifth Avenue.
The revival, as we have implied, is rendered par-
ticularly attractive to the eve by tbe richness and
tastefulness of thp stage attire, and ithrings before
the spectator several artists whose names are an
earnest of the spectator's enjoyment. Thus , Miss
Davenport, who has been missed from Mr. Daly's
representations for a long time, returns to the
Metropolitan stage in "As Yon Like It," and sup-
plies a fascinating and graceful portrayal of Bosa-
Knd, and Mr. Coghlan, whose thoroughly
unconventional methods as an actor are
winning more general appreciation from
day to day, pictures Orlando. Mr. Charles
Fisher personates Jacques with the requisite moodi.
ness and sententiousness, and Mr. Davidge endows
Touchstone with a humor rather less suggestive
of thought than could he desired, bat very palpable,
notwithstanding. The rdles of Oelia, Phebe, and
Audrey . are allotted respectively to Misses
Jeffreys-Lewis, May Nnnez, and Cowell, and
are lu good hands, while Mr. William Castle comes
forth as Amiens and endows the delightful music in
the piece with a charm which seldom penetrates it.
The co-operation of so many performers of local
repute iu tbe representatiou could hardly
fall to please the most exacting audience, and the
applause, last eveuing. was hearty and frequent.
The scenery in ' As You Like It " is superb ; in
this respect, at all events, the revival can be set
down as one of almost unprecedented brilliancy.
GENERAL MENTION.
Mr. Gillmore will give another Sunday con-
cert at the Grand Opera-house, this evening.
Mr. Charles Roberts, Jr., is to recite at the
Calvary Baptist Church on Tuesday evening.
Mr. Banvard's "New Broadway Theatre"
will be completed and opened to the public toward
Christmas.
The San Francisco Minstrels offer their fa-
miliar entertainment of minstrelsy at their Broad-
way Gpera-house.
The Mozart Club will give their second con-
cert of chamber music, at Sielnway Hall, on Tues-
day evening week.
In addition to the usual variety progi'ai&me
at the Olympic Theatre, this week, the drama
called " The Lost Ship " will be acted there.
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings
of next week are set apart for the concerts which
are to constitute the musical festival at the Acad-
emy of Music.

aud some new specimens of tbe anemone or sea
carnation, have been added to tbewonders of the

to end witb the coming week, the simultaneous
rentr^ of Messrs. Davenport and Barrett, in "Xing
Lear," being set down for Dec. 4.
"Baha," now m the third month of its run at
Niblo's, aives no indicatiuus of failing attrafitive-
ness, and will probably be considered as a holiday
spectacle before its career terminates.
A telegranj from Boston announces the ap-
pearance of Miss Soldene and her troupe at the.
Globe Theatre, last evening, and their cordial re-
ception by an audience that filled the house.
Mr. BoDert Heller is installed for the Winter
in his "Wonder Theatre." His brisk and varied
entertainment is likely to make his Wiuter so-
lourn in New- York as profitable as he can wish.
A sacred concert will be given at St. Ann's
Churoh this evening, in aid of the Ursuiine Convent
ot East Morrisania. Misses Corradl and Gomien,
and Messrs. Fntsch aud Blum are to be the princi-
pal artists.
Mme. Essipoff repeated atyesterday's matinee
concert the programme interpreted ou the occasion
of her first concert at Steinway Hall. She will next
appear on Tuesday afternoon and on Wednesday
evening next.
" The Shaughraun " attracts overflowing au-
diences to Wallaok's Theatre, and if tbe drama
could be represented nightly for a twelvemonth
longer, there Is little doubt tbat it would be found
profitable to keep it upon the bills.
An entertainment will be given at the Acad-
emy of Musio on the evening of Nov. 30, for the
benefit of St. Agnes' Church. Many popular
artists from the principal theatres have tendered
their, services, we learn, for the occasion.

attraction, on to-iaorrow week.
"Elie first coircert of the Phil bar monio Society
ofStaten Island, this season takes place on Dec. 1.
Mr. Richard Hoffman, Mr. Carl Hamm, Mme.

FOREIGN NOTES.
The revival ot "No Thoroughiare," at the
Louden Olympic, is announced.
Herr and Mrs. Bandmann were, at last ac-
counts, acting at the Edinburgh Theatre.
The Gaelic Society of London has announced
the issue of the melodies of the Highlands, with
piano-forte aocomoaniments, by Herr Louis Konig,
in order that tbe GaeUc vocal airs may be preserved
as well as are the popular dance tunes.
Mr. Toole will reappear on the 4th of Decem-
ber, at the Gaiety Theatre, at which house a com-
edy by Mr. Albery, and a burlesque by Mr. Eeece,
are iu propiration. The compauy now acting at
that theatre will then migrate to the Opera Com.
ique.
" La Comtesse de, Lerins," a iivo-act drama
of MM. Adolphe D'Enn«ry and Louis Davyl, has
been produced at the TbS&tre Historique. It is, in
fact, says the London Athenceum, a play with one
situation. The plot is extravagant and unpleasant,
and the characters are commonplace.: A single
scene, however, magnificently rendered by Mme.
Farguell. bas converted Into a succeia what seemed
likely to prove a failurs. Ihe action Is laid in tbe
time of the regency of Philippe d'Orlfians.
The exact dates of the birth and death of
Anber have been at length ascertained. The bap-
tismal record on the register at Caen gives the
date of birth 29th of January, 1782, abd the name
which is inscribed on the monument for P6re-la-
Chalse Danlel-Franoois-Esprit Anber. He died on
the 12th of May. 1871, (not the 4th of June, 1870, as
it has been given,) and his remams were concealed,
in the davs of the Commune, in the crypt of the
Trinity Church until the 15th of July, 1871, when
they were interred temporarily In the Cemetery
Montmartre. The ceremonial of reinterment anil
the inauguration ot the monument m P6re-la-Chaise
will take place toward the enu of this month.
The new opera, " Dolores," produced at Bo-
logna, on the 12th ult.; proved a failure, despite
the popularity of Mme. Galletti, who sustained rhe
chief character. The composer, Signer Auteri. is a
Sicilian, who has joined the Wagnerian school.
" Rienzi " was exnected to be brought out the end
of last month. Meyerbeer's " Africaine " was per.
formed at the Teatro Comnnale with a good or-
chestra and tolerably good singers, but the mi«e en
seine was rldicnlous, as the impresario bad bor-
rowed the scenery ot tbe little tneatre in Parma,
which was too small for Bologna.
A Paris dispatch to the London Daily Tele-
graph tmnouuooa the production of "LaBoltcau
Lait," by Offenbaqh, at the Varieties. The critic
says: "The sKelet|>n libretto Is slight for the mass
of musio with Which it is covered, and, to
say eootfa, the drapery is not always rich
enough to conceal the angularity of tbe out-
line. It mav seem ungrateful "to reproach a
composer with his activity, but If M.
Offenbach were to limit his labors to the production
of say two operas in the year, instead of bringing
out five or six, the public would gain by the loss.
At tbe same time, amid much tbat is trivial. "La
Buite an Lait" contains many catching melodies,
invariably set off by an orchestration which has
never been iival^ even by Offenbacn himself m
neatness and effect. The opera is excellently
played, Mmes. Daubray and Th6o and Paola Mari6
being the principal artists."
Of Mr. Charles Coghlan's new drama called
" Brothers,"^ just now produced at the Court
Theatre in London, the /Standard says : " If
clever dialogue well delivered Could bv itself make
the fortune of a play, Mr. Charles Coghlan's
" Brothers " would be a great and undisputed suc-
cess. Many bright and ingenious ideas are pnt into
the mouths of the different characters, which are
one and all represented with remarkable
ability ; and if sometimes cynical and
philosophical utterances nre inappronriately intro-
duced, the listener who laughs and approves would
probably rather hear what Mr. Coghlan has to say,
even if he makes an evident opportunity for the
purpose of saving it. than miss it altogether be-
cause it does not ariss natnrall.v from the tiitna.
tion." The writer theu dwells upon the weakness
of the plot, and concludes as follows : "For the
comedy itself, ' Brothers ' is chiefly remarkable
for the proof it gives that Mr. Coghlan would
write an excellent play if he had a subject, and
could persuade himself to keep to it."
An event which shows to what unpleasant-
nesses unprotected females are exposed in the
streets of Paris occurred a fortnight ago. Mile.
Ronsseil. the well-known actress of the Th64tre
FraD9als, was proceeding to the Th£4tre D6jRzet,
and when quite close to it, at '7:20 in the evening,
was accosted by au individual who ordered her to
follow him. saying that she was a woman of bad
character. She told him who she was, and be then
seized her roughly by the arm, on which she struck
him in tbe face with her fan, which broke. She
called loudly for assistance, and a crowd collected,
and although she continued to declare who she was,
no one Volunteered to help her, aa the assailant af-
firmed tbat he was an agent of the Police, At last,
a woman came forward and disengaged her. As
soon as Mile. Rousseil could get away she hastened
to the first policeman she could meet, but be could
do nothtng for her, as the man was no longer in
sight. Mile. Rousseil laid her statement before the
Police authorities, who ordered the strictest investi-
gation into the affair, but stated that they do not be-
lieve that the aggressor was one of tne|r agents.

IMnaiTO, Small striped baas are now the prime £«-

ihoae who have eaten them aa aaperior to any other

any eominic from other qaartera, Cranberries were
never more plentifal or lower-prioed. Apples are
la liberal aupply, and very good onea can be bought
at lowratea. Xewtown pippina and lady apples
are the best for eaiinz. Oranges are arriving in

a pillow-slip, pucker up one end^in yonr hand and
tie a strong string around it tightly, leaving the
ends long enough to tie a loop'; place your eggs in
this bag, patting the ends all downward. It does
not matter which end. but yon most be sure not
have them ou the side. About fifly is a good num-
ber to put In one bag. Then packer up the open
end of the bag firmly against the eggs, and tie it np
like the other end. Be very sure to use twine.
Hang them np iu a cool place, and turn them np-
elde-down every day, hanging first from one loop,
then from the other. I have eaten eggs kept five
months in this way, and they were not in the least
musty, and conld not be told from new-laii pnes.

one coffee-cupful butter, and cream snlfioieut to
moisten sngar thoroughly ; mis tbe sugar and

lae oat readily. This receipt will fill eight dinner
plates.
CHpcOLATB ©BEAM Dkops.— Mix one-half teacup
•t cream, with two cups of wbite sugar, boil and
stir fall five minutes; set tbe dish into another one
of cold water^ and stir syrup until it becomes hard ;

To Hon. Mayor of Oharlesiton. S. C:
SlE: The statement m the Republican oi Saturday
last, by vour aatbority, is correct as to the fact tbat
the eity Is not under martial law ; and to correct any
misapprehension you may have as to tne status of tbe
United States troops in connection with the peace of
the city, I beg to state for your information, as
well aa for (hat of all classes in this community,
that the preservation of good order against riot
or mob violence has been assumed by the com-
manding officer m obedience to most emphatic
instraotions trom tbe department commander, and
whicb, uniii revoked, will be carried out. To this
purpose he will use precautionary measures to keep
himself infoimed of the internal temoer of tbe
city, and of any demonstrations, by any party or
class, tending to create apprehension or a "dis-
turbance of tbe public peace. If the necessity un-
happily arises, he will use the toioea at his com-
mand promptly and effectively to the desired end.
It is neither the desire nor intention of the com-
manding ofiicer to inlerfure with the utiuul and
legitimate daties of the Police Department in pro-
tection of person and property, or iu,^the exercise
of any of your powers as chief civil officer in tiie
city. Assuming you have also tbe public peace ac
heart, there need be no conflict of authority or
thwarting of common efforts tor the security and
assorance of the people.
I am, very respeotfnlly, yonr obedient servant,

From the Fall Mall Qazette.
Some excitement -was caused at tho Dardan-
elles the other day, arising outof a currency qnestion
On the approach of the Bairam a month's pay was
given to the troops of tho garrison in caime. A
plan, however, adopted of clnbbing four men to
divide a hundred piastre note did not work satis-
factorily. Anxious for a dissolution of involun-
tary partnership, each squad set ott" to change
their paper ; but success attended some ouiy
of the flrst applicants to the saralfd, who for a
discount of five per cent, consented to sever tbe
tie. Fearing a run on the bauU, these establish-
ments soon resorted to the simple expediect of
closing their doors. The soldiers thou endeavored
to change their notes at the shous bypuichaHing
some article of trifling value and asking tbe shop-
keepers to give them metallic change at par ayaiust
their tendered note. This modest rtqueac bciug
refused, the soldier.') took to pummelliiiir
the shop-keepers with their flats, the result
being that shop after shop closed its
shutters, until not one of tiiemreniained'open. Tho
tollowing da.v the shops still preaeuted tho same
sombre appearance, and the solclier.i were driven
t« their wits' end, one day only being left liefore
Bairam to settle their fiuuncial difiicultics and to
make their purchases for the coming tttast. At
the last moment the Governor General, Ibrahim
Paaha, seeing that matters had become serious,
ordered that the cairn^ should bo changed against
begfUiks from tbe puhlic chest. The soldiers, there-
fore, received their money, the shop-keepers re-
opened the shops, and cheerfulness onco more
reigned in tbe town.
A GONTEHTED SEAT.
Speaking of the Fourth District of Ohio, the

John Howard don't intend to coutest McMahon's
right to a seat in tho next llouse ot Kepresenta-
tives, is what the aiders and abettors of McMahou,
In his fraudulent tricks, have been declaring, but in
this theyare all mistaken, llonext John Howard
don't intend that any one shall beat him by traud,
and having abundant evidijuce that liauds were
perpetrated against him and in the interest of
McMahon, he has given the latter gentlemau due
notice of contest, and thero is rot tho shadow of a
doubt that he will prove all ha charges."

well-organized "National Guard, and its apparent
utility in preserving the peace of tne public at
large are well knewn to all. In order
to stimulate recruiting iu this regiment,
the Board of Officers have decided to offer
the following inducemeVits to increased activity in
that direction: To the non-eoaimis.-;ionod officer,
musician, or private who, between Dec. 1 aud the
iinuual ihsptction next Spring, sball bring
in the greatest numier <.f recruits, a
gold medal of appropriate design will
be presented; a similar medal will bo
awardea t« the party recruiting the second highest
numlier. aud alao to the tlurd. Tho board has Uke<
wise resolved, for the present, to supply fall-dress
and fatigue uniforms to each new recruit, free of
expense, as an additional inducement. The flne
armory occupied by this command, its immunity
from indebtedness, and its eminent military reputa-
tion, are sufficient guarantee to the citizen who may
desire to receive a thorough military training,
while its social inducements Include a series of
promenade concerts and receptions daring the
season, and thus, while abundant recreation is pro-
vided, the recruit is afforded an agreeable oppor-
tunity to further extend his acquaintance. Officer*
and members generally are urged to use their
utmost exertions to increase the strength of the
regiment, and its comniander hopes before another
year has passed to see 1,000 names on the regimen-
tal muster-rolls.
FIELD ARTILLERY TACTICS.
BATTERIES WORKED BY BRAVK GUNNERS —
A CHAKGE WITH ARTILLERY INSTEAD OF
CAVALRY — THE POWER OF MASSED
BATTERIES.
Lieut. Col. C. B. Brackenbury, of the Eng-
lish Asmy, delivered a lecture at tbe Royal United
Service InstitutioB, to a distinguished assemblage
of members and their friends, upon tho tactical
power of modern field artillery. Major Gen. Sir
Garnet- "Wolseley, K. C. Bi, was in the chair. Col.
BrackenlJui'y said that anything like a manoeavring
field battery was modern, As late as 1799 the ar-
iillery train .dispatched with the expedition to tibe
Low Countries had to be improvised, and the
guns were drawn by heavy horses driven by
Dutch wagoners, who walked beiide their teams,
carrying long whips. Napoleon I. improved
hia artillery so that he won great battles by
its oaring employment in masses, but of the
English train early in the Peninsnlar "War Welling-
ton wrote: "I shall be obliged to leave Spenser's
guns behind for want of means of moving them,
and I should have been obliged to leave my own if
it were not for the horses of the Irisb Commis-
sariat." The artillery hoisos at Vimiera (lt*08)
were cast horses of dragoons and Irish cart-horses,
boaght for £12 each, and tbe pursuit was stopped
becauiie the artillery carriages were so shaken as to
be scarcely fit for service, Evenin tho battle of the
Alma the guns sent over the river at a critical pe-
riod bad to be forked partly by officers, because
the gunners, toiling ou loot, could not keep
pace with them. Now field batteries move
for short distances at a gallop, carrying their
gunners with them. A. German officer oi artillery,
Capt. Hoft'bauer, had eiven an instructive account
of the work of bis arm iu the recent engagements,
and his examples showed what was poMsible- not
always what wa.i to be recommended. At Borny,
though the ground was intersected By ravines,
walls, trees, and the French were always more
numerous than the Germans, the German aruUery
was pushed well forward from tbe flrst and
reinforced by batteries of another corps sent on at
a rapid rate tar in advance of their infantry.
At Vlonville, artillery, (iiiij.ler's battery,) quite
unsupported by imantiy, came up to meet
an advancing line ,of skirmishers) and held
them in check till the Prussian infantry
arrived. It was sometimes said that the
file of artillery had little phy.-ical, but only
moral eflect ; but in this battle the ground which
tbe batteries shelled was literally covered with the
corpses of men and of a la.-ge herd of cattle which
had fled from the farms. A battery came success-
fully out ot a struggle in whicb, through the fire of
mitrailleurs, two gnns were rendered useless for
want of gunners and three guns lost so many
horses they could not be moved. When "Wedell's
infantry brigade lost 65 officers and 2,600 men out
of 1:5 otiieers and 4,500 men, the three supporting
batteries risked everything to extricate tbe in-
lantry. Two of them held their ground till the
enemy's infantry weie close .to the muzzles
ot the guns. They were saved oy gallant
charges ot cavalry. During the latter part of the
battle nineteen batteries together (114 gnns) sup-
ported attacks aud always checked pursuit, be-
cause so long a line could play at once ou the front
and flanks of the, advanctfag enemy. Drivers and
even officers had to work the guns, some of which
had to suspend firing for want of yuuners. Most of
the teams were reduced to two horses, yet they
were not driven back, aud in the evening some of
these batteries were actually sent lor ward to
attack. It was so dark that at 100 paces eneiptes
could not be dutinguished from friends. Mnr«
than once they bluVidered into the presence of the
■enemy, and saved themselves by shell or
case. More than oue-l'onrth ot ^be
men, and more than tftree-fourths of *ho
horses, were lost; one battery lost ihree-lonriJis
(four officers and forty-two men) of its men and flfty
horses, or more than its complement. The fighting
strength ot a batiery is sixty-six officers and nien
and forty-eight horses. The loss in material -was
only one gun-carriage, five limbers, eight wheels, a
pole, and an axle-tree damaged, for the six gaiis.
The scanty loss ot material compared with men and
horses wa« constant and significant. The eu»imy
often advanced within 700 yards, but were almost
always checked at that. At Gravelotte a Une
of guns w^as pushed right iu the midst
of the enemy. French infantry and mitrail-
leurs were in front, ou both flanks, and in Intt
rear. It was a Balaklava charge, with artillmy
instead of cavalry, yet all the guns wore carried ou
except four trom one battery, and only two were
permanently retained by the i'rench — they wore so
galled by the tire of the remaining artillery and of
the inlantry. Except for lack ol horses at a critlnal
uioment, not a guu would hare been lost. There
was no want ol sevority in the French tiro, for t.-he
Irerman Fusilier liatialiou sent to extricate the I«ft
wing of the artillery lost m twenty minutes more
tban half itsuumbors, aad had to retire. 'In other
parts of the field the batterie* were driven oaok bv
skirmishers wlio lay in ditches and lurrows of tht*
ground. On tne right, the First Army massed l.'iS
guns, with The tire of which it completely crushed
all efforts of the French to advance, and became
so emboldened that it tried to push InfantrT,
cavalry, and artillery through the defile of Gravo-
lotte, which was commanded, as its exit was also,
by immense masses of the enemy. Basse's B:ittery
was one of those which got through, and though
the order tor it to advance was a mistake, the ouu.
duct of the battery deserved Immortal honor.
Poiceiving the desperate situation of tho batlerv,
Lieut. Gen. Vou Schwartz sent his Adjutant
chrough the siorm of bulleta with an order to with-
draw ; but so many horses were oiaaoled tha: tho
battery could not be moved. The firing was there-
fore continued till but one gun could be served, and
that by tour men only. The ammunition of
tho limbers was exhausted, and tbe wagons had net
been able to pass the defile. Nevertheless, its fire
had created such a moral impression that there was
time to wait till the divisional commander arrived
with three wagon teams. Tbe battery then retired
at a walk through the defile. Its limbers riddled by
bullets, the drivers ou foot, the guns drawn by two
or tour horses, and closely packed with those naost
severely wounded. More losses were sustained.
The last gun was suddenly reduced to one
horse, and, heavily laden with wounded men,
was obliged to halt for assistance. The
batieiy at last was received with a loud
hurrah, and tho General embraced, tbe com-
mander in tbe presence of the troops. Afterward,
in the same battle, the French advanced in force,
driving before them hundreds oi stragglers Irom
different Otrman battalions. These runaways
nisheJ through Guiizge's battery ; he saw part of
it swept away iu cneir confusion, aud when the
turmoil was over three guns wiihout limbers aud
oue uuborsed limber remained. Collecting, how-
ever, a lew. gunners and intantrymen, about
thirty in number, he opened fire with ease
at 300 to 500 paces ou tho nursuing skir-
iiiisOers, and repuUsea them. The battery remained
in position tilL darkness preveufeil tho laying of
the guns. In the famous flrst attack of tbe Guard
upon Sr. Pnvat, the Second Battery advanced up
the slope to the support of tho hard pressed infan-
try, and, leaving inree guns on ibe way, compelled
the hostile colamus »nd skiiiuishers \o bait at 800
paces. Sedan showed the ii(>wor of massed artil-
lery. In all these battles tho artillevv was, as a
rule, pushed forward in advance of the infantry, to
gain time aud establish a euperiority of fire earlyin
the oaillc.so that the iu laiitry should sufler few losses
aud not be delayed before attacking. The artillery
held its ground whuu attacked in front, but suf-
fered teriibly, aud was eveu ohiise.l to retreat
from infantry lyiutj in cover. The Okehamptou
ixjoriuients and some experimoms in India in
1875 as to tbe loss of guuuora in batteries were
next, examined ; and takiui tho experiments into
Cdiisiiieraiion, the lecturei- asked whether It was
too much to say that tho fire of an English battery
aL the present day (and we hoped soon to outdo
thus) begins to be etteclive at 4,000 j-ards, is very
powerml at. 2.000, and annihilating to troops in any
formation at I.OUO yards and under ?

ION PAPER.
From the Ottawa Fret Pret*. Sov. 14.
There seems to be little doabt that there it
actnallr a movement going on in Fenian circles on
the other side of tbe liae, looKini; toward another
. theivin£ expedition of American clUzens xn tha
dlreetion of the Canadian borders. Tolerably relia-
ble information comes that a root-hoosein the vicia.
ity of St. Albans has been converted into an araenal
and that a load of hay contaiaing deadly weipont
for the use of the Fenian marauders is on its way lo
the frontier. Ridiculous as these oircnmstaiicoa
may be regarded In themselves, as evehi the vrbule
movement alonj; the line of tbe Irish Republic
might be conaidered, tliey are all snfflcieiit to con-
cern the authorities, and' to oooasion eaou steps for
the protection of citisens along the frontier aa m»y
beconsid^ed necessary. As an "invasion." tb«
march of the Fenian boats might b«
treated with contempt ; but the inenr-
•ions of even amall bands ot armed men
across the bord»r threaten seriooslv tbe peace and
safety ot Canadian citizens, accessible t» these fili-
busters, and compel ns to gutrdj agaaist possible
pillace and murder. It is the 'duty of tne G-evsrn-
menc to protect tbe lives and prooerty of e^ery
Canadian citizen, and ample preparati^aa bav«
oeen made to meet ererj emergency that toJKbf
arise in the perfarmance of this duty. That a mow
ment of some kind amene the f eniana is on the
tapis there is no reasonaole doabt. Aiuericaa pa-
mpers profess to disbelieve it, Unt that was theft '
policy in former Fenian raids. Bamg under politi-
cal obligations to tbe " Iriah vote," the WtsUiBirton
authorities, we may depend, will remain coav&
nientlv blind te all action bv the Fenians natil ocj
border has been violated, when a tardy interven-
tion, as in 1866 and 1870, might be expeoted. ilore-
over, tbere are two reasons wbich indicac« shat tho
Fenian leaders are both compelled .and Invited to
make the preaemt time a " convenient season "
for •'rescuing Irehiad " by robbery and murder
in Canada. In the first place, the leaders
of the organization have accumalated a vast
amount of funds for the oatensiDle purpose of
" lioerating" the Emerald Isle, and as no practical
application of those funds tor that object has been
made for several years, connsiderable impatlenc*.
and curiosity has been excfited among the masse*
upon whose credulity this fraudulent levy ha.» been
made. Somethme must be done to show the in-
tegrity of the movement, and a raid on Ireland not
Deing safe, a filibustering expedition to Canada best
appears to answer the porpose. The snspensiou ot
tbe extradition treaty mates the present an exoop-
tionall.y favorable time for such a movement. In-
asmuch as these valiant patriots take eood care to
keep within reach of leg-bail of the United States,
there would be no means ot punishing
any crimes or misdemsanors that misht bo
perpetrated In Canada. The Fenian mart
derer or robber onee returned across tbe border
might laugh in seeurity at the ©xasperationi of th«
people whom he had outraged. The position or
Canada in the matter is one of mock annoyance and .
vexati«n. We may be compelled, as l>efore, with-
out recourse, to have tbe blood of our citizens ehed
and their property plundered, aad to la put to vaatt
expense t» protect onr frontier againat an impalna-;
ble enemy, whose pursuit and punishment we are
prevented from accomplishing bv the border lint*
of a neiehborlne State. The position of the 0ui:ed
States Government toward the Fenian organ iza-
tlon 10 one that is disgraoefnl to that country and
to civilisation. These Biaraudais, thieves,
•'able-bodied tramps." tc, who oonstitute
the Fealan organization, aro ° A»erie»a
cltizeas, and the Government 'of the
ITuiDed iStatas is responsible for their ooudsct. The
sbametul apathy of the United States Government
which permits these raflians to arm, organize, and.
assemble with the .ivowed objecrof hara.»6ini: and .
plundering the inoffensive iakabitanta of a «ountr.T
vritb whieb tliat nation is at peace, is in the last •
degree dishontrable and disgrao«f*l. Exiwrienca
has shown as that Canada need expect uo justioc
from the United States for the crimes commit,'«d by
its citizens in this csnntry in the gaise of Fenians,
nor inaemaity for the expense imposed o« oar Gov-
ernment and' citizens. The most elioctual pro-
tection wonld be to make ths presence ot a F«maQ
in Canada, in connection with such a visitation as
is threatsned, as daBgeroos as possible. Our fron-
tier settlers shoula call in Justice Lvneh to tneir
aiu; and if onr volmnteers are again called our, let
them display no desire to lake prisoners. Should
saeh an invasioa take place, let the coBsequonces
be such as to be a wholesome warning m the la-
tore. ,
RESaVSD rBOit A SEWER. . .'
The Syracuse j Courier says : • " On Friday
last a man named Michael Hannon penetrated the
■West Fayette sewer through one of the rain-holes'
provided for the j?urpoee, in order to remove ob-
structions. Being Considerably intoxicated St the
time, Hannon was stupefied by the foul air of the
sewer aud became insensible. CoBtraotor Ready,
who is rebuilding the sewer, not long after discov-
ered this ?fact and made every effort »o release tho
unfortunate man trom his imprisonment. He In-
duced one of his laborers to enter the rain-hole and
tie a rope about Hatmon. who was hauled out of the
sewer more dead than alive. His patient remained
in a precarious condition «p to Saturday- afternoon,
when he revived and gaye promise of a quick re-
covery. Hannon had , a narrow escape, and ono^
which may servo him asa good lesson."
PREMATURE ASBANQEMENTS.
The Lynchburg (Va.) News relates » touching
incident. Near Richmond, ^it say8,_ a wife lay in a
dying condition. Havingy brought B.p a olevoi
orphan girl, who was grown, the dying w»Mn
called the veung woman to her and said: "I will
soon leave yon my little children motberless. They
know vou and love you, and after 1 am gons I want,

deeply afteoted, burst into tears aud ^aid: "yfo

it asaooDtribatiao to ottr knowledge of the
ootmtry. We may jadtce it b7 the inftrmation
and the new and truthful reSeetioa whioh it
eontains. it may be, ott tbe other hand, that
the book eontains oomparatirely little informa-
tion ; that it ia in no sense an effort to define
ei^er the whola eoantry or any sneeial phase
Jot it Tet it way bare a literary valae;
literary value in stioh a ■ work .Implies
tbe writer's poaseaaion. of oertaia iadividaal
Iftfts of perception and sensibility whioh make
it worth the reader's wnile to consider the im-
pressiona wbioh the oountry baa produced UT^on
his mind. From either point of Tiaw wo can-
not assign a very hi((h place to Mr. Fisher's
book apoB tb» Californiaoa. Tbere are some
elever things in it. Tbis wbioh he tctvea us as
a description of tbe feeling In California to-
* trard England ia rather true of tbe feelinjc to-
ward England, throughout the oountry : *' To
oomo at the truth the reader may as well try
the maiden's oracle of - the flower as
any other: 'He loves me — a little—
—maob— -passionately— not at all.'" There is
wit .also in his comparifii; ^the "high-toned"
jeurnalism of California to a hot horse-shoe
• tlirown in a pond. ITie philosooher may re-
mark that the pond is. warmed, bat for all
practieal purposes it is sufficient to say that the
shoe la cooled. By this illoatration Mr. Fisher
would convey the idea that the demoralizing
effeocef Calitornian sentiment upon a news-
paper of high intentions ia much greater than
the elevating effect or such a newspaper upon
Caiifornian sentiment. In the -main, Mr.
Fiaher's book is somewhat thin. It u not
sulficiently excellent in a literary way to make
np for its want of information and strong and
exact tbontrht. The author was, we believe,
for some time a joomalisG in San Francisco;
and we observe that what he has to say of the
press and the newspaper writers of the country
'^ is rather more inter'^sting than any other part
of bis work. Tbere is a chapter upon the
Chine«<e, with resjard to whom Mr. Fisher does
not seem to have much to communicate. Some
pleassmt deaonptloas ate given of the
Spaniards. Here is what Mr. Fisher has to
say ot the California woman :
" She ia perfect, tnis young gtrl, perfect to a fanit
oc two. LiLke the bsst'uf as, not so good a£ to be
in danjcer of prematare death, bat good for all that.
'With no one is there more freedom, more self-poa-
■esaion In every sense ; with no one more aelf-
rospeot, with do one more capacity to enforce
. respect. Saperabandance of sun and outrdoor lite
somewhat strdngtheu and enlaree the physique,
without affaoting tbe typical mental decisioa ana
qtiickDess of the Anglo-Ameriean woman. She is
seuerally very fair to see, and whenat her best, her
.^ (beauty and brightness are far from beins wholly of
the anpsrficiea. She is, howsver. above all, devoted
te.the culture of such qiaalities as show well at
\ -tlM snrlaca. Wby should abe not do so. when
She finds them 'pay' best? She is Athena more
than ^nerva. Her mind takes the Greek rather
than the Latin form. There is notbing clumsy
aboat it. Sbo ia lady Mary Wortley Montajpic very
macb, and Hannah More very little."
Mr. Fisher will be sure to gratify his Amori-
ean readers with comments suob as these. He
contrasts this type of California . womanhood
with tbe creature with whom we are familiar
in the pages of Mr. Bret Harte, who is so much
in the newspapers and in the divorce courts,
and who is ready at a pinch to pat an end to
the career of a superfluous admirer with a pis-
tol. The immunity of this person is due, in
great measure, to the paucity of women in
those resrions, together with the general re-
•peot of Americans toward that sex. We are
rather surprised, therefore, at a story whioh
Mr. Fisher tells of the ill-treatment, by the
populace and the press of San Francisco, of a
certain young English actress, who had made a
disrespeotfol remark with regard te the Fourth
of July. It seems that on July 4, 1875, an
Ungiish actress, playing at the California
Theatre, made in private ooaversation a sar-
castic comment upon the quantities of striped
and starred bunting to be seen at tbe win-
doiws, in the street-cars, and in tbe
abops. Tbe girl's i^orda were repeat-
ed to some reporter, and got into
. tbe papers. A great excitement was, according
to Mr. Fisher, immediately produced. It' was
hinted that the galiaat fire companies would
4epnt^ representatives to mob the actress and
Stop thei play should she venture to, appear
again. The young lady published a card disa-
vowing any intention of insulting the nation.
It was not, however, until after fourteen days
of excitement among leader-writers, and the
patriots of the shilling gallery, that the storm
blew over. Mr. Fisher says: "Only that the
. general elections wereapproachiug — the 'pollti-
' eal campai^ for which our city editor
was providmg — and that the .brethren
ot the quill nad to a:ive their attention to the
ilanning 'character of tbe aspirants for office',
our poor httle queen of the foothghts might
have been, baited for months or driven from
tbe city in a garment of tar and feathers by a
j^ Aob that * loved the Lord God and hated King
GeoTge.' " It ia scarcely »eoe88arr to say that
there could have been no snch nossibility. Mr.
Pisher's remarks upon the immature respect
of the public for the law and of tbe general
immorahty of our political life are, of course,
true.

WE ETHICS OP BBKEDICT DE 8PI503A. From the
Iiattn. With an latroductory sketch of his' Life and
Writings. Sew-IorlC! D. VANiioiTaAND.
We belieye that thi3 is the first transla-
aon of any of the writings of Spinosa which
has appeared in this country. It is, we learn,
the work of a gentleman, who is an amateur in
literary and plulosophical matters, and who
baa employed such time upon it as he has been
able to.spare from the occupations of a busy
life. The spirit in whioh he has entered upon
ids work ia worthy of the sincerity and
elevated character of Spinosa. He has a
true appreciation of the value of
those objects whioh the pliilosopher set
»«bove" "wealth. ■ pleasure, and glory."
This age baa seen a groat revival of the inter-
est in the writings of -epiuooa. His influence
upon the literary meu of the century has been
especially great, and this has Deen duo perhaps
scarcely more to his writings than to bis life,
his profound singleness of purpose, his ele-
vated example. Baruch de Spinosa was born
«n the 24th of November, 1632, in Amster-
dam. His parents, it is supposed,
were Spanish Jews, who had been
.^^hrtven from Spain by the persecutions
of the Inquisition daring the reign of Philip
IIL Spinosa was a scholar from his youth.
Educated by a learned rabbi in the literature
of the Jews, ha also formed early an extensive
Acquaintance with the ^reek and Latin
classics. His investigations extended to math-
ematioa, physics, optics, chemistry, in-
deed, to most of the departments whioh en-
gaged the attention ot the advanced minds of
that time. Early having been impressed
with the importance of that maxim of
Descartes, " that nothing ought to be re-
ceived as true until it bad been
proved by good and sohd reasons," he was un-
able toaocept the teachings of the rabbis.
Oreac efforts were made by the synagogue to
have him return to their religion. Besides
other offers of favor and advancement, a yearly
pension of a thousand flprlna was tendered him
These, however, he steadily declined, ana in
1656, when he was twenty-tour years of aae, the
synagogue formally excommunicated him.
This sentence was regarded among the Jews as
one o/ fearftil import, and the ceremonies. with
'Which it was pronounced were most solemn and
speak or write to him or to da Jiim any ser-
vico or to abide under the same rocf with him
or to approach within four cubits' length ot
him or read anfthing written or dictated by
him. One aoeouut ol -thw eore'.uony, which ap-
peared a little vliile ago, reprageytod the
lighted tapersiwhich the exconimunioating l.v
raelite* held in their hands as being suddenly
submerged and extinguished in a caldron of
water, aud that the sen ton oe was pronounced
amid utter darknes-s in the ayimgofiue.
Spinosa wrote a reply to tiiis sentence of ex-
com'municf^ioB, which has either boon des-
troyed or remains undiscoverod. A 1 anati-
oal Jew made an attempt upon his life, but
Spinosa was able to turn aside the knife, and
received only a rent in hia clothing. It ap-
pears that the Jews prevailed upon tbe au-
thorities of Amsterdam to banish him from tbe
city. At any rate, he lett Amsterdam shortly
after his excommunication, and went to live in
Auwerkerke, a few miles from the city. Hero
he hved with a Christian family, supporting
himself by grinding and polishing lenses, which
became famous for their excellence throughout
the country. He appears to have spent about
four years at Auwerkerke, living by hia handi-
craft, and giving himself diligently to study.
Spinesa lived aiterward at Ehynsburg and
Voorburg. In 1669 he went to The Hague, and
there resided till his death.
The stories of hia seU-denial, of his temper-
ance, or rather, we might say, nis intemperate
abstinence, have been the wonder and admira-
tion of scholars. Few could be found to emu-
iate^him, and few, no doubt, would long sur-
vive the effort. Fortunately, it is not neces-
sary, in order to profit by his example, that we
should be able to liye for a day on a pot of
milk-soup or gruel done with raisins. His
biographer. Rev. Mr. Collins, says:
"He would live a whole aay upon a milk-.sonp
doiie withj butter, which amounted to three pence,
and npon a pot of beer of three halfsetife. An-
other day he would eat notbing but gruel doue
with raisins, and that dish cost him four
pence halfpenny. There aie bat two half
pints of wine at tbe most to be found
among these reckoninea, and thongh he was often
invited to oat with his friends, he chose rather to
live upon what he had at home, tiioagh it were
never so little, than to sic down at a good table
at the expense of another man. He was verv
careful that his expenses should not exceed his in-
cowe; he would sometimes sav to the people of
the house that be was like a serpent with its tail
Us mouth — to denote that be had notbinz left at
the year's end — and added that he designed to lay
up no more money than would bury him decently,
and that as he had got nothing from his parents,
so his heirs and relations should not expect to get
much by his Ueatb."
His first work, Priticiples of the Philosophy of
Descartes, demonstrated geometrically, was
published in 1660 ; to this was appended ifeta-
physical Meditations. To indicate his separa-
tion from the religion ot hi^ birth, he dropped
the name of Baruob and aflSxed to this work
that of Benedict. In 1670 he T)ublished
his celebraffid Treatise on Theology
and Politics. It was in 1675 that
he concluded to publish his work,
already long prepared,'the 2i<Atcs. This great
work consists of a series of propositions, in
which the nature of man is analyzed, aud his
obhgations are set forth. It is in five parts :
" Of God," " Of the Nature and Oi;igin of the
Soul," "01 the Origin and Nature of the
Affections or Passions," " Of Man's Slavery,
or the Force of the Passions," " Of Man's Free-
dom, or the Power of the Understanding." The
Ethics is a body of pure reason, in whioh
imagination has no place. It ia, howcTer, cer-
tainly a work which no man with a conscience
and a desire to live rightly can fail to derive
practical advantage from. " Many" says the
translator, " who have sought ' to know wisr
dom and mstijuction ; to perceive the words of
understanding ;' many of the intellectual, the
free, vho have studied the Ethics, have lound
in it satisfaction, peace of soul, rest."
The Ethics was not published until after Spi-
nosa's death, which took place on the 21at of
February, 1677.. *^The two hundredth anniver-
sary of his death will occur next March, (new
style.) A committee has been formed at the
Hague for the purpose of celebrating this an-
niversary by tbe erection ot a statue to Spiuoaa.
Associate committees have been formed in
other countries. Among the members ot the
English committee are Profs. Jowett, Huxle\',
and Max Muller, andMessrs, Leiwesand Herbert
Spencer.

San Fkancisco. Nov. 10, 1876.
If you put a grain of strychnine into a
hogshead otif water, the water will have a per-
captibly bitter taste. Add one drop of liquid
carmine to a gallon of ^sjater and it will be per-
ceptibly colored. It would seem that in the
glorious development and growth of San Fran-
cisco from a small mining town to a great met-
ropolitan city of more than a quarter of a mil-
lion of inhabitants, its primal characteris-
tics would be completely absorbed. But
this is not the case, and the taint
of the mining element whioh controls
the financial, which governs the physical,
also dominates the spiritual aspects of '^San
Francisco. Miners are invariably iireligious,
and here the churches, have absolutely no in-
fluence. They are filled on Sundiiys with well-
dressed people, and that is all. They are pow-
erless to influence public opinion. Miners are
habitually superstitious, and not without rea-
son, for they see in tbe course of their eventful
lives so many queer things, that, being inoapa-
Dle of philosophizing on the law of coinci-
dences, they give themselves up, body
and bones, to the mumbo-jumbo of sooth-
sayers, clairvoyants, astrologers, mediums,
and fortune-tellers. All the joui-nala contain
more or leas of the ^advertisements of
these geatry, and the less reputable ard
lull of them. These are curiosities of
literature, and reveals facts which the columns
of the journals aforesaid would never tell. They
show that not a few of the wealthy speoulatcrs
in mining stocks depend upon these creatures
for the knowledge which guides their onei'a-
tions. They give more than a hint of a wide-
spread belief in " obeah women," as the colored
clairvoyants style themselves in the West In-
dies. From information which I have received,
I can state that the Caiifornian puts more con-
fidence in old darkey mediums than in any
other, and when they come from the West In-
dies, espeeially tbe French ialanda, like Sainte
Lucie and the eastern part of San Domingo,
about Savannah Ja Mar, he has implicit iaith m
their revelations.
One of tbe results of this impotence of the
churches is that there is no public observance
of the Sabbath. All the saloons are Open, all
the billiar4-rooms are in full blast, there are
performances at many of the t heatres, if. not
at all of them ; the majority of the stores are
not closed, and the streets are filled with vehi-
cles of every kind. It is also the chosen day
for making excursions, and every Sunday San
Francisco pours outi its population by myriads
ever the ferries to Oaklands, to San Rafael, and
te other points in the neighborhood of the city.
Excursion trains are run by the railroad that
goes northward to Russian Rivet, and by the
Southern PaciSo, which i^ to reach San Diego
some very fine day. A few of the travelers on
these occasions simply go to enjoy the scenery,
which is both wild and beautiful,
but the majority are hunters alter deer,
wild duck, snipe, quail, and other kinds of
game. They have with them their dogs, and
the stranger who happens on Sunday to be
down at the Davis street wharf, whence the
ferry starts for Sanoelito, tbe terminus of the
Russian River Road, is startled at a sight so
foreign to Eastern notions, and to the religious
ideas in which these men were bred. For the
great maiority— nineteen-twentieths— of them
are from States where a man would sooner think
of cutting his throat than going out with dog and
gun to hunt upon the Lord's day. I do not pre-
'tend to pass judgment upon the abstract propo-
sition of its being wrong or right so to do. I
simply pomt out that the atmosphere of a com-
munity so tinged with the mining element
quickly dissolves the most stubborn religioua
views.
The tact is, I must plead guilty to having
gone on their excursions myself, but not for
shooting purposes. My objective point was a
butter ranche on Point Reys, the proprietor of
which XMr. Howard] is one of the truly pro-
gressive men of California, and thoroughly
alive to the evil consequences of mining specu-
lation; He has endeavored to build up a great
dairy larnQ,and;ha8 succeeded admirably,for the
butter which is made on the Point Keys ranches
is as good as Philadelphia butter, and I believe
that is the highest point of excellence at-
tainable. Also, the pecuniary profits have
been, of late years, considerable, and are
steadily increasing, which is still more agree-
able. And, lastly, the property is a principality
which will, in due time, be worth more than A.
T. Stewart evor owned. To arrive at this place,
the line, which is a narrow gauge, has to wind
through a succession of hilla, in general covered
with a beautifully bright verdure, but without
any trees. In the occasional ravines whieh the
railroad spans, there are the redwood trees, so
famous over the world, but there ■ are no large
ones, all of these having been cut down for
lumber. The huge stumps are left, and show
what monstrous growths were there before the
railroad penetrated this wilderness. It is not
entirely a wilderness now ; for wherever there
is a track there will gather a nopulation. But
it is rather scant, for the whole country is better
fitted for pasturage than for any other purpose,
aud so one sees few evidences of tillage from
the windows of the oars.
The first time that I accompanied Mr.
Howard I devoted myself exclusively to watch-
ing the scenery, and gazing on old Tamulpais,
arcund whose skirts tbe railroad runs. But on
the next occasion I considered the passengers.
In rear of the passenger cars there were two
cars used lor ballasting on other days, but
which had been utilized on this eccasion for
the special accommodation of tlie hunters, who
Lad mustered so strone on this Sunday as to
overwhelm the train. Planks were stretched
from side to side, on which the men sat, guns
in hand, and with their dogs at their feet.
There was quite a hubbub of conversation, for
everybody appeared to be acquainted. Almost
all were clad in buck-skins, and, though ex-
ceedingly respectable merchants, endeavored
to look as if they had just arrived from Arizo-
na or Colorado. In the centre of one of these
cars, not tar from tbe spot where Mr. Howard
and myself were seated, was a stout man, clad
in broadcloth, with a gold-headed ciine, who
was being continually appealed to, and who
was addressed as Judge. He looked like a
fortj'-niner. and in addition to the usual quartz
gold chain he wore as an ornament a bear's claw
mounted heavily in gold. A large emerald
ring was on the little finger of his left hand,
and in his silk cravat was a huge pin, made ot a
nugget. He appeared to be chatfing the boys
upon their outfit generally, and speciully upon
theii- dogs, or, as he called them, " dorgs." In
one of the passenger cars were a lady apd
gentleman, evidently on a pleasure trip, and
accompanied by an enormous hound, whieh
animal camo and went continually at hia pleas-
ure, and at last arrived in our car, to exchange
civilities with some of the pointers and setters
that lay around loosely.
"Now, Judge," said one of the young fellows
who had aoparently been troubled in mind at
the eomplimeuts whioh had neen passed by
the stout man on his two setters, " what kind
of a dog d'ye caU that ? "
The Judge glanced contemptuously at the
btg houndj but vouchsafed no repljr* - ^he man J
. • - ' - ^
sitting next to him, however, spoke up and
said, "I reckon that's a wolf-hound." " Wolf-
hound," broke out tbe Judge with a broad grin
on his broad features. " What's a wolf^houndl
A dog as can tackle a wolf. There ain't nono.
Folks may call 'em this or may call 'em that.
What od^s does it make? Can the:^ do it!
Can they tackle a wolf? Answer me that."
"I suppose," remarked the young man whose
setter had been abused, '"' they can do it, or try
to anyway."
" Ho, much you know about it. Lemme tell
yer something what happened in my sight at
Col. Keene'a, beyond Olima. You know where
I mean, near Elans' butter ranch." Here How-
ard nudged mo in the ribs with his elbow. " I
went over there some time in the Summer, and
the Gunnel received mo right hearty when I
drew up, but be was follered by two amazm
big dogs, ah, bigger either one of em was than
that un, (pointing to the wolf-hound. ) " What
yer got here Cunnel," says I. " Them's wolf-
hounds " says be. " What's that," says I again.
" Whr," says the Cunnel to mo, " them do^s.
Judge, cume from Russia, and they'll pull
dovv a wolf just as quick as you or I would put
down a glass of whisky." " I'd like to see it,"
' for I don't believe nothin' of the kind. I
reckon there's no dorg will tackle a
coyote, much less a gray wolf." "You're mis-
taken, Judge," says he, '-them dogs are from
Russia, where they breed 'em specially for the
purpose. You stay with me a time, and p'raps
you'll see it." Well, air, I went in, and tlie
Cunnel fixed me as comfortably as man would
want, and I stayed there for better than a tort-
night. But one night, sure enough, we heard
the bowl of a coyote, as we was sitting having
a little game of old sledge. The two dogs
jumped up furious as death, and barked like
mad, and tore away at the door, they were so
anxious to get at that coyote. "Look at 'em.
Judge," says the Cunnel to me, in a whisper ;
"you'll see sport id a minnit or two. Jes'
wait till I get my gun."^ So away he
goes, apd I hear him overhead a loading up,
and a ramming down, and presently down he
comes. "D'ye want a eun?"8ay8 he to me.
anxious-like. "Not ennv," says I; "I've
etough to carry with this belly, and don't want
nuthing heavier than this stick of mine."
" Look at them dorgs," cries he in a regular
rapture, for when they saw the gun they
barked like devils, and their hair stood out
straight, and their eyes flashed just as wicked
as you please. Damme, if they didn't deceive
,me,.and I thought as they would eat that coyote
m no time, and I says to the Cunnel, "Cunnel,
they do look like reglar breed." " Judge," says
he to me. solemn-like, " them two dogs 'led pull
down a lion, damn mo if tbey wouldn't."
Here the narrator burst into a fit of laughter
that continued until his eyes oozed tears from
the corners and his face grew purple. He con-
tinued: "Them dorgs," says he to me, "would
pulldown a lion." Here he began to laugh
again until he shook all over, and was compelled
to remain silent while he gasped for breath.
When be got bis wind again be resumed :
" Well, Sir, we opened the door, ana out sprang
the dorgs, and out came wo alter 'em. Sure
enough, there was a coyote seated on his
haunches as pleasant as you please, howling at
the moon. It was bright moonlight, and every-
thing was as plain as day. The dorgs darted
alter Mr. Coyote, and he got up leisurely, and
away he eoos at a pleasant amble. Keene he
ran after the dorgs pretty lively, and, as my
wind ain't as good as it used to be, 1 didn't run
much, but walked along briskly. Bimeby
Keene he give out, and 1 ketched up with him.
Well, Sir, as soon as Mr. Coyote saw that the
men weren't with the dorgs, he sat down
again, aud blast me if them dorga didn't
stop too and begin to bark ftiriousiy.
I didn't say notbing to the Cunnel who looked
pretty serious, but alter about ten minutes
walking we hitched up with the dorgs and Mr.
Coyote starts off again, and the dorgs starts off
too. "'Keene," says I, '• I am not a walking
man, and if you will excuse me I'll go home."
He did'nt say nothing but he turned for the
ranche, and we walked back as glum as two
undertakers at a funeral' Bimeby the dogs
came back and came jumping around the
Cunnel. Keene he ripped out an oath ana gave
the nearest dog the heartiest kick, and he's a
big man with thundering big feet, and wears
mighty heavy boots. I kinder felt sorry for
the Cunnel, so I did'nt aggravate him any until
we'd got inside, and taken a good nip, then
when he felt better, says I to him, " Keene,
d'ye think really them two dorgs would pull
down a lion."
Here tbe old reprobate laughed till be was
purple again, but when he recovered himself
he said no more, from which I judged that the
story was concluded. The young man oppo-
site, who evidently was sore about his setters,
was not satisfied. " What did Col. Keene re-
ply to your remark," he asked. The Judge
looked exceedingly dignified as he answered,
" I grieve to say that the Colonel replied by a
string of profanities which I wouldn't wish to
repeat before so much youth and innocence,'"
and here be chuckled again for about five min-
utes. He got ofi' at the junction depot for San
Rafael, and we saw bim no more. Gab.
PROF. 3 LACK IE AND HIS SENIOR GREEKS.
From the Glasgow News.
The various classes in Edinburgh University
were opened on Wednesday by tUo Professors. Prof.
Blackie delivered an address at 9 o'clock to the
junior sludents, whioh was listened to with com-
parative quietness. The second Greek class was
oneued by Prof. Blaekie at 11 o'clock, a»d the stu-
dents here wore a great deal more uproarious than
those at tbe junior meeting. The entrance of the
Professor was tbe occasion tor a more vigorous out-
burst ot thiit rapping ot sticks and whistling
Hud howling that bad prevailed for about a
quarter of an hour previous to his appear-
iiuco. Silence having been partially restored, the'
Professor, looking aromid the room, and evidently
seeing tout Boiae of tbe students were bent upon a
disturbance, said : " I hope yon will rememl)er rhe

I bear that Milly instrument again in that part of

put out thwse two poor, insignificant creatilres
makiuic that Boiae. [Laughter aud continued
uproar.] I bhall give yon three minutes,
and if they are not put out then I shall iiive
you no l«cture. This is my law; there shall be
no leciure heie." [The Profesaor sits down with tho
noise unabated, and amidst cries of " !No, no."]
Silence having been regained, the Professorresumed:
" It is a matter of no consequence to me one way or
another. 1 do not lecture. Tomoirow we beiiin
with tbe fifth chapter of the fourih boot of Herod-
otus, f Hisses, and rapping of sticks and feet.J I
presume, from this exhibition of disorderly teel-
ius, which I did not experience in the lirgt .junior

It is my duty iu this plac;* to allow no diBtui'biuc

aail left tbe room amid a deafeninc: noise of whist-
linp, stiok-rappius, and leet-irampiug. The
students then dispersed.

DESCRIPTIONS AND 8U&aESTIONS.
WHAT IS WOR» in vroOLKN MATERIALS—
NOVELTIES IN VKSTS— THE USES OV
PLUSH — MOURNING SUITS — BONNBTB —
CHILDREN'S GARMENTS.
Among the plain woplen materials now'* in
use are cloth, vigogne, chevron, diagonal, and
caohemire. The fancy goods are brochfi. silk, and
caohemire, with stripes dotted in two shades.
There is also a new style of matelas86, with tbe
checks marked by drawn threads, with very fine
pale silk threads running through the goods.
Another stylo is m ckecks, divided by oream-col-
ored stripes on a dark blue groand, or chestnut
color on bro.wn, and many similar oombinations.
There are also silk broch6s on aifPrfrent
kinds ot matela«86 goods, with peculiar silk stripes
on grounds of all colors. Then there is a velvety
armure with delicate stripes dotted in sev^ial
shades. These materials have generally a very
sombre appearance, and must satisfy the most
quiet tastes, in spite ot the briRkt spots with which
some of them are dotted. To trim this style of
suit it is advisable to use black velvet bands bound
with faille in the light shades. of the material, or
with bias bands of faUle in two shades. The
" Breton " suit is often made of these
materials. For this costume it is best to employ
the least showy of these gosds, as it is very pecu-
liar, and will not admit of the use of bright mate-
rials.
It is fashionable to have the tuniqne f»r day wear
made simple and varied at the same time; to obtain
this doable result, it is only necessary to take ad-
vantage of the many fanciful methois which can
now be employed. The skirt is simple; a breadth
of goods makes the back, one or two small side
pieces, aud a breadth in front cut in apron
Shape. When tbe skirt is made, it is best
to place it on a form ; take an ordinarv piece of
muslin and pin it in any fanciful way upon tbe
skirt, and with the ail of a little ioaginaiion some
very novel effects can he obtained. Take, for in-
stance, a nolonaise; first, cut the princess-sbaped
fronts very tight fitting and pin them carefully on
the shoulder and under the arms of the form, then
add a small side niece, which is left long enough to
form a long scarf. The princsss back is out np and
has small side pieces comme from the shoul-
der and forming a long train. The long
scarf of tho. side piece is left loose
in the back; the two ends are crossed, thus raiding
the polonaise and firming the puff. Eadh end, or-
namented with a tassel, is drawn through a large
ring placed on tho sides of the skirt. The skirt,
may be of brown f dlie, with three plaited pieces
covered with chenille fringe, and tho polonaise of
cream-colored caohemire, trimmed with brown
chenille fiiage, and rings and tassels to match.
A pretty Parisian novelty is the Louis XY. vest,
made of kid and covered with handsome embroid-
eries in all shades. Bands of the same description
trim the dress with which the vest is worn. The
plain chevreau cuirasses which have been in use
f r alone time past do not wear nearly so well as
this vest, as only the front of thevveat is made of
kid, and it is heavily trimmed. These vests ate
very expensive, but are handsome and strone. ^^
The paletot cuirass continues in general favor ;
it is cut half tight-fitting and closes down the
front, where there are two rows of buttons. It is
ooen in the neck in ravers shape. The cuff* are
very deep. •
Mother-of-pearl buttons are used for all purposes.
They are bluish, greenish whits veined, yellow, and
in many othef colors. Ther^ are also pretty cameo
buttons which adorn suits beautifully.
There is a kind of galloon in open work embroi-
dered with beads wbioh is much used to trim snits.
It may either match tbe suit or he in a contrasting
color; the brightness of the beads enlivens the dress
and has a very good effect. A »ait lately made with
tbis trimmiog is of blaek faille and pearl-colored
casimir. The casimir ia made into a long and broad
vest and also forms tne lower part of the sleeves.
It is trimmed With gray galloon, with tbe same col-
ored heads worked in handsome designs. Embroi-
dered galloons lo jk very wel! over cachemire de
I'Inde and drap de sole. Ladies who are tired of
faconn6 nse plain materials add enrich them with
these embroidered galloons.
Tne bows which have been so mueh used within
the past year to loop up dresses are likely to be re-
placed by handsome cordings with tassels.
Chenille is made into passementerie and frinea,
and used to trim handsome faille suits. ChenlUe is
also made Into barbes, worked into tulle
and laco, and used to cover the crowns
of bonnets, and to trim them. Voilettes
and mantillas are also made of chenille.
Plush is used to trim scarfs, waists, and bonnets.
Cream-colored and caronbier bonnets are most
worn. Cream-colored felt hats are trimmed with
twisted pieces of plush; the soft crowns are also
of plush. Some capotes are trimmed with plush
leaves in several shades of green. A "toque "is
now very generally worn covered with feathers and
dotted with beads. This hat is in ^avor for walking
and carriage use, and also for visiting and traveling
purposes. Young married ladles wear the toque on
the top of the head ; young girls wear it over the
forehead, and elderly ladies place it. a little back of
the head and have strings. This shape will soon
be trimmed with fnr instead of feathers.
Another pretty novelty is the Angot collar, made
of colored plaah ; the neckties worn with these
collars are also of plush coqabined with silk.
A rich and very new model for an indoor dress is
called the " robe Oriental." It may be made of
purple cachemiro and faille in the same color. Tbe
train faille skirt is trimmed with a very deep
plaited flounce divided bv three bias bands ; the
piece abovs the hichest band forms the heading.
The Princess shaped overdress is almost tight-flt-
ticg and closes on the side. The waist opens in
front, forming revers lined with white silk and
trimmed with golden galloon. This revers only
lies open on one side. The trimming up
the front consists ot rich golden embroidery,
and on the other side the garment is cat out in
scollops, bordeVed with golden galloon. Each of
these scollops buttons over a button corresponding
•with tbe galloon. The lower part of the garment
is trimmed wiih two bands of similar galloon, each
placed a sliort space from the other. Below this
galloon is a deep, rich, yellow fringe, made of yel-
low cordonnet with golden threads. On the side is
a pocket embroidered with gold and bordered with
fringe, with a white siik revers falling over the
outside. The sleeves open to near the elbow on
tbe outside, whore they are trimmed with a white
silk reverd. On both ' sides of the opentng-
of the sleeve is a trimming of golden gal-
loon and embroidery. The batiste collarette and
undernleeves are plaited and scoliopea on the
borders.
A stylish toilet may combine pearl-colored and
caronbier fiiille. The front of the skirt la trimmed
with a puarl-colored flounce; above are two nai-
row-plaited flonnceslsurmounted byja deep shirring,
This trimming reaches to the middle of the dress.
The Cray laille (unique forms an apron. On one
side is a pearl-colored pocket ornamented with a
larffo caroubiur how. From each side of the apron
depend two wide caronbier scarfs, which
are crossed in tbe back. The scarf
which is taken ovfir to the right
tile 18 fastened down in three plaits under passe-
menterie ornaments, and then falls in a long em-
broidered end. Under the caroubier scarf is a
pearl-colored scaif. The priacess-shaped cuirass is
of pearl-colored faille down the middle, back, and
front, and of gra.y faconn6 on the sides. Down both
sides of the back seams are caroubier faille scollops
extending down iu Watteau shape. The same
scollops trim the outside seam of the sleeves.
Tbe sleoves onl.y roach to the elbow, where tbey
are terminated with a deep piece of lulled lace. The
train is pnrfectly plain.

A LITERARY CURIOSITY.
EXTRACTS FROM AN ENGLISH PLAT WRIT-
TEN BT A PERUVIAN MONK.
To the Editor of the Boston Transcript :
Permit me to offer to you for publication the
following extracts from what may well be called a
literary curiosity. This curiosity — a play written
m English and entitled "Charles IL of Spain" —
was discovered in the library of the noiversity at
Lima, Pern, by a fl-erman gentleman, the basiaess
agent in Lima of a well-known housa of Stettin,
Prussia. This gentleman devotes his leisure hours
to the examination of the univeroity mannscripls,
and in one of 'his researches he found ^ this play
quite hidden from sight by the dust and
dirt of years. A careful reading of the work
convinced him that it was above the orainary
run of literary productions, and persuaded him to
make caretul inquiries about it among the Lman-
ian monastics. It is his opinion, the result of his
inquiries, that the play was written by a Eranois-
cau friar, Arteaga by name, some time during the
first quarter of this century. This Arteaga was, it
18 said,, a masterot the English tongue, and a must
erudite student of English literature. The copy
iShakespeare's plays which is in the possession of
tbe university at Lima was otiginally tbe property
of this friar. One naturally asks, Why did he
write in English ) I inclose to yon the prologue
and extracts froip the first act.
PROLOGUE.
[Entry of the Poet before the d^rtain-j
The play which will unfold itselrupon this stage
Contains the story of a kmg-born life ;
A life beset by pain and care aud strife-
Three rabid dogs which round its path did howl
and rasre.
It tells the world that troubles dire may wring
The royal-blooded bosom of a King,
The chronicles of earth's events inscribe the fame
Ot outward acts ; and to tbem who read will tell
How men slew men ; how kingdoms grew and fell ;
How revolutions burst and set the world afiane;
What anger did, what love, what gratitude; ■
The deeds of valor, cowardice and feud.
Xet seldom in the fullest annals of mauklad
(B.y none narrated as by Shakespeare's tongue,
With which all subtle shades of life are snug,)
Is shown to ns man's inner lite of heart and mind.
Theie sphere of science cannot boast a thmg
To which more interest doth cling.
That we may know tbe secret of a human soul
We have to pass into its self-love hal).
Where sits the King who makes us, one and all I
Aye, all ! and all in all ! aud all in whole and part!
Nay, 't is not so 1 I spoke before I thought;
Boiue souls act ever as they think they ought,
The King, whose treubl'd soul we purpose to pre-
sent
With all its natural springs of aot and thought,
As well of those from education wrought.
Should draw from you all sorrow, pity, and lament.
His acts were born, if not of ssuse and skill,
At least of conscience and a spotless will.
I'll say no more. The man himself will soon ap -
pear, ;
And by bis sid^ a crowd of beings small and great ;
Men filled with piiJe and passion, loveand bat« —
The fiery spurs which gnide and urge our earthly
sphere.
May Grod, whose justice is our final goal.
Forgive the good, the weak, the erring ssul.
Extracts from Act I.
Th^, then, is life. A sad and toilsome course
Unta ascent as hard and rough as hills
Of jagged rooks o'erblown by wintry winds.
The pungent wine from out the cask of fame
Is what the appetite of aspiration craves,
And what ambition's stomach can digest
.iA.nd yet what pleasure, pride or satisfaction
Is there in power, wealth, or martial prowess.
When 'tis begot of crimes and sins and evil deeds.
And record is with blood engraven 1
Not more does envy hate success than I
Hate him. He is to me morft odtoas far
Than blindness, banishment, or penalty ;
As all that is abhorred, tbe base or f jul ;
No jot the less than pain with grief, care, destitu
tion ;
Aye, more than hell e'er felt or terror thought.
In strength of hate, I'm not behind our friend ;
For in my mmd there lives no thongh t which so
Takes up the compass of my consciousness.
And truth can witness when I declare myself
A hater of none other earthly thing :
Since all tbe bleed and ffeah of my dislike
Aj-e battrd 'gainst the person of the Duke.
In bis agonies of death my heart would revel
More than revenge in torture.
Her tongue is servant to her flighty head.
Of all the scenes and persons of this world
She knows much more than e'en tbe Book of
She thinks that her importance is inoreas'd
According as the size of what she r«lls.
'To Ignorance, she is tbe greatest boon ;
To Erudition, worse than tuneless clash
Of instruments on ear of educated sense.
Fate,
Within her bedroom lay the lavish signs
OfienBiQality— fresh flowers gay;
Pace powder, oil, and perfum'd sandal box ;
The open'd envelope in strength of scent
Not less conspicuous than beard on chin
Of woman's face. Three mirrors lay on stand ;
Each handle wronebt with picturesque design —
The Tree of Koowludtte full of ripen'd fruit;
The sadden'd face of disappoiuied swain ;
Two doves iu sufo debate; aud ail around
Fine combs and bru»h.e3 soft, as man v as
Tbe silken threads of hair which bind her head.
Ton ask what sbo Is like, and here's my answer:
Her form aud flesh are likethe clouds of white
>Vbich slowly float in radiant sensnousness
Across the Summer's skv; her voice is like
The far-ofi' music of a f jstal hall ;
Her eyes as soft and grand, and full of speech
As halo light nehipd tbe sunset bills.
CRIME IN IRELAND.
From the Pall Mall Gazette.
Our Dublin correspondent states that the
statisties of Irish crime, sompiled by Dr. iJeUon
Hancock, the G-overaaient statistician in Ireland,
show that the agrarian outrages decreased in num-
ber during the eleven years from 1864 to 1875, and
were fewer by seventy-seven ia 1875 than in 1874.
Durmg the first seven months of 1876, however,
there has been an increase to 139, as compared with
8ii in tbe first seven months ot 1875. The agrarian
outrages are m many instances of the minor
elass, bpt the tresh outbreak of this class
01 eriae is so far an unsatiifaoto-
ry indication. Tbe general condition of
Iieland as to orime is iu no way alarming. The
amount ot serious crime over the whole oountry
has dimiBlsbed for five years in sncceasioa ; the
number of crimes in 1875 is less than In any year
since 1B64. The tables in reference to the DnbUn
Police uistriet record a startling exception to these
d«ereases. In the City of Dublin crime Is seriotuly
on rhe increase. While tbe average for all Ireland
of indictable offenses nut disposed of summarily is
twelve. Crimea in the Dublin district reached IlU
iu the 10.000 of population ; and of the 6.S98 indict-
able offenses not disposed of suoaniarily in Ireland,
3.725, or more than halt; ooeoxred in the Dkbiln
dittrlot, which eontalna«nly one-sixteeinth of tbe
population of Ireland. " The great problem in-
dicated by tbe atatistlcsof Irish crime in 1873," tav*
Mr. Hancocjc, "ia how to deal with town, crime."

A correspondent of "the Chwrehman writing
from Moscow, Eusaia, of the Greek ohnrcbea of that
city, wbioh number about three hundred, saysi
" The wealth and splendor lavished npon these
ohnrobes is inconceivable. * The silver in them can.
be weighed by tho ton. The silver altar and screen
in the Ohurch of Our Lady of Kasau is thirty feet
high end twenty feet broad ; and the chancel rail
of solid silver ; and tbe single si'ver sarcophasrus ot
St. AlexandsT Newsky weighs .'t^ poouds of pure
silver, besides the Urge amount of it on tbe altar
above and on the screens. The eight' cburctiea
within the Kremlin ot Moscow are crowded— buret-
iog, as Dean Stanley expresses ii. — with untold
wealth and luagnidoeaco of gems aud pearls aad
gold and tilver."

Hr. Maurice Strakosoii. one of the Strakosoh
family -nrtaicn biM boen so Intlmatflly aaaootated
•with the opera In this couiitry for the last qttarter
of a century, has conceived the Idea of bnilding a
Ifrand opora-bdaae In thia City, similar in moat
reapeota to the one Jaat opened In the I'cench eani-
taL His proposal is to bniid, with the aasiatanoe of
anch persons as may interest tbemselTea in the
laoheme, what he is pleased to call a "Q-rand Tem-
ple of Art," to be devoted exolnsively to the pro-
dootioB of Italian, German, Bnglisb, and I^uch
operas, written by the master composers. He has
b«en aaatuiinK his plaQS for nearly six montbd, and
iriU within a few days issue a proapeotos, in which
definite prenositions will be made to the capitalists
Df this City. Mr. Strakosch, in conversation with a
aiHsa reporter yesterday, made the foUowine
statement on the anbject:
I have bean in America <aboat six months, and
bave devoted myself almost exolaaively to the proj.
eot of thoronghly establishing t^e opera in Amer-
ica. I have become convinced that it wonld be a great
t)8neflt to this country to have a erand temple of
»rt In -the Metropolis of the United States. I have
Been that the people of this oonntry ate in favor of
patrouisine the first In evarytbini;. Madiocriry has
no chance of saco«8s when good tbinKs are ofifered.
Daring my stay in Eorope as manager of the Italian
^C^jiera in Pari*. I obsorved that Americans travel-
laic abroad to make parobaaes always chose the
toflii. Ttie great . pictorea of tbe masters.
toe grand piesas of tbe ' leading sonlptora,
tbe ' finest -^ and moat 4 artiatiS jewelry, were
kU sore to find their way to the
United States. Mediocre things were sold at bet-
ter bargains for Earopean markets. In the expe-
ileBoe of my brother and myself as managers in
tbis conntry, we found also that whsn we could se-
eore the best artlata of the warla we were surest of
getting the patroaage of tke pablit. T^t only
txoable that we exparianoed waa that we could not
■eonre a proper house ia wkioh to give oar enter-
tainmeata. The Academr of Hasio waa tbe only
Dpera-hooae In l^ew-lTork, and there we fonnd a
most aexiona objection in tiiat the very best por-
tion of the honae was taken by the atookholdera,
from whom ' we could receive nothing. We had to
get ear revenue fronir^ the inferior portions of the
iioiue, which lifew- Yorkers were alow to fill up be-
oanse of their dislike to any appearance of eaate.
I'VTe found It impoasible to give long seaaona. !From
iactoal experience I have seen tJiat the opera, the
•rery beat entertainment in the world, has not been
«8tabiiahed in Ameiioa oa a permanent basis. I
tere also found oat that in order to establish it a
new opera-house must tie built where a great many
(people ma^ he aocemmodated upon democratic
pprlnciplea. <
Opera and mnsio have more to do with the prog-
aresa of civilization than most people think. I
liave no doubt that lUchard Wagner, with hia in-^
spiring and patriotic muaio, has a grand ahare in
^Ting Grermany the poaition ahe now bolda in the
fworld. We saw something ef bia powers laat Sum-
mer at Bayreuth, when the Emperora and all the
potentates of Germany gathered there to honor his
wonderful genius. It haa atrack me moat painfully
to see how low, vulgar, and indifferent perform-
aaees la the United States seem to monopolize the
pablic patronage. The people of this coantry are
absorbed in the daytime with politics and money-
maalng. It is fatal to their health, and they must
bave relaxation in the evening. They go to some
mediocre place of amusement, and laugh like foola.
It reminds me of the Italian proverb, "i£i«u« aimndat
in beeeaia ttuMorum." The trouble is that tbev
liave no dednite aort of entertainment. For in-
etmnce, tbn f reneh comio opera bonfife is popular in
Paris, Berlin, and even in London, but it never
finds ita way into flrat-daaa theatres ia choaecitiea,
and its patronage is chiefly of sporting men and
women of the demi.monde. What was my astoniah-
aient to see this immoral though amusing enter-
tainment in full blast at tbe Academy of Musio in
2Tew-York. I saw young ladies ana gentlemen of
the besi society of New-York attending it. My only
("xplanation of this aigbt was, that these ladles did
not understand what waa aaid by the aotora. Other-
wise, I am sure, their parencs never would have
p<>rmitted tbeir preaence. There ought to be some
effort to bring back the American pedple t«> a
Burer, higber^oiied, more elevating TBi^asliig
than for the I'reaeh opera boafE'e. There ia
need of a place where men ean' bring their wivaa
and daughters to wlnieaa entertainotencs of a high
irdei, anch as will have a beneficial effect upon
diem; entertainments wbiob. often repeated, are
bound to have a great influence upon the political
ind aocial life of the country. It seems imnessible
jbat a performance of " William Xell "or " Lohen-
zrin " could doieas than have a beneficial infin-
snce upon the souls and hearts of those who wiD-
aesaed it. I should like to know what good comes
to anybody from seeing such performances as I
neently witnessed in the theatres and circuses
and manageriea of 27ew-York. What does a man
take home with him &om auoh placea?
OXnXINE OF MB. strakosch'b flaks,
I have therefore determined to build me an opera-
' ;^oaae, and I bave the greateat bopea of aucceeding
ia my undertaking. I am a great aamirer of aelf-
made men. A aelf-made man is, in my estlmatioc,
one of the noblest things of this earth. Nowhere
are aelf-made men ao plenty as in tbe United States.
When I consider that here are men who, like Cer-
selins Yanderbilt, have amassed fortunes which
yield them incomes equal tc, if not superior to, those of
XQOSt of the potentates of Europe, and beat of all bave
gained this wealth by their own efforts in perfectly
honorable methods, J must confess that lam per-
fectly amazed. Now, if I mistake not, we are at the
eve of an epoch — and I think I have proofs of it —
when these self-mada men will be glad to do some-
thing fur art. and art, too, of the highest and finest
Bbaraoter. I may say that in this enterprise of
aaine I have anmiBtakable signs that assistance
will be given me by 8om,e of those gentlemen, and
others who love art and are moved by feelings of
' patriotiam,- and who know what beneficial and
lootblng influences the divine art of musio haa.
Thb X1UE8. which has aniversally used ita gi'eat in-
flaeuce lu the advanaemsnt of art, and which haa
always generously sustained mv brother in ail bis
efforts, must not make inn cf our enterprise, ai it
baa already done iu its admirably amaslng article,
Castles in tbe Air. It mnat wait a little longer
before it judgea our scheme too harshly, for when
our scheme is fully unfolded I know The Times
will give na its nnq^ualilied supDorlT. My project is
to have a very large opera-hoaae, in order to be able
to give the very best performances — equal to those
in the finest opera-honaes of Europe— at a corre-
sponding low price. The ere&test artists
ou not cost more to managers when tliey
BiDg' before 5,000 people than when .they
elDg to 1,500 or 2,000. The accommodation
at the Academy of Music ranges between
theta two last flguries. In my experience of twen-
ty-five years, I have sufliciently marked tbe inter-
natiooal character of the population ofKew-York.and
~X see fully the necessity oi recognizing this charac-
ter in providing entertainments ot any kind, I
would, therefore, provide separate seasons for the
Italian, Geimaii, French, and English operas. I
lA'io already seemed the aervicea of some of Che
most emiueat artiata in Europe, among vrbicb, I
may mention Mme. Patti, and Mile. Belocca,
who would appear In such operas as 'Aida,'
and 'Logengrui;' and Mile. Minnie Hauck,
-who is now regarded as the nrincipai
star of the Berlin Ooera House; ahe would appear
In soma of her favorite characters. Mv plan would
be to glvp each year, an entirely new opera in each
of four difl'erent langaagea, expressly composed for
my contemplated 'Temple of Art.'
THB PKOPOSED LOCA^TION OP THE "TEMPLE."
I have the refusal of the property bounded by
Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh streets and
Madiaon and Fourth svenuea, which aeems to me
most admirably adapted for my palace. XhU is
my first choioe-of location, although a great many
other desirable locaoions have been oflered to
me. I see no dlfiicalty iu the way of having the
temple opened by the 1st of October, 1877. The
ISiblo Garden Theatre was built in sixty days j
the famous Trippler Hall was opened in ninety
days alter the laving of the corner-stone, and the
Covent Garden Theatre was only twice as long
m building. From present appearances, too, I
have uo doubt that the funds necessary to tbe
building of the temple will come forth in more
abundance than 1 have need of. The conditions
which shall offer to shareholdera are so liberal that,
even it it were only a fiuancAl operation, there
woald be no trouble in raising the requisite amount
of money. Bat there is a higher aim. The enter-
prise is a patriotic one. The chief aim is to improve
the morality and to cultivate a higher order of taste
in the Ameiican people. Allow me to call attention
to a fact which aeems favorable ;o the emerpiiue.
It is. that the peaple owning pronerty -is the vicin-
ity oV the Uippo^lrome bulidinii, ove of the most
beautiful and laehionable parta of Now-York, have
b'eon exceedingly shocked by that eye-sore which
now deforms their neighborhood. They dislike
to live in a square the centre of which
la given up to a low circus and menagerie. These
people havtt very gene^Uy offered me their en-
fjouraffement and snbatantial support, promising me
"'varv hber&l ftubacnntiona. I shall be able in a few
days to give the detaila. I ask The Times not to
judge too hastily, but to wait until I come out with
my prospectus. The Strakoscb family has now
been in America upward of twenty years. My
brother Max and my son and myself are Americans
to the very marrow. We have had our suooesses
and our failures aa opera managers, but we have
always worked upon the same conscientious plan.
For myself I have always desired to leave behind
me a name — a record that I have done sometbiog for
the encouragement of music and art in tbis coun-
try. I have made monay, and I have lost money,
but my conscience isr clear upon this point, that I
have never given to the public an entertainment
wbiota could not be called eminently respectable.
Allow me to add, in conclusion, that schemes similar
to tbe one which I have in mind for New- York are
on foot in San Francisco and Cbioago. In both
these cities I have been ofi'ered the warmest en-
couragement, and 1 have no doubt of my success in
both instances.
AN ABSCONDING BANK TELLER CAP-
lUBED.
A dispatch was received by Mr. James L.
Worth. President of the National Park Bank,
yesterday from St. Johns, New-Brunswick, inform,
ing him that Thomas Ellis, late paying teller of tbe
hank, bad been arrested in that city. Ellis it will
be remembered, absconded on the 21st of October,
taking with him (3ti,000 in $1,000 and fSOO bills, and
130,000 in United States gold certificates belonging to
the > aak. Po^ttal cards containing an accurate de-
scription of the fugiiive. together with his portrait,
were sent all over ^e country and, doubtless, led
to his arrest. It was ascertained that Ellis was at
the Grand Central Depot on the evening of the day
that he absconded, considerably under the influence
•f liquor, and that he took the train bound for Mon-
treal. Capt. Thomas Samnson, who has had charge
of lihe pursuit of the fugitive, sent a large number
of postal cards to Canada, and it is supposed tbat
he was recognized in St. Johns and arrested. Capt.
Sampson telegraphed to the antborl.ies at that
place to hold the prisoner, and last evening Mr.
Fisher, a private detective oflBoer in the employ of
the bank, left thia City for St. Johns for the pur
pose of obtaining the surrender of Ellis.
AN AKAB'S N O TEL MISSION.
An Arab, who waa attired in the costume of
bis race, called at the Mayor's ofiSce, yesterday, on
a novel errand. On reaching tbe ante-chamber ad-
joining Mr. Wiokham's sanctum he motioned for an
intorpreter. Col. Pratti, of tbe Marshall's Bureau,
who is a linguist waa sent for and soon appeared.
The child of the desert and the Colonel then con-
versed in French for some time, after wnioh Mr.
Pratti explained the object of the visit of his new
acquaintance. "Ho has come," said the Colonel,
" from Bethlehem, and desires to obtain a permit
to sell religions articies, such as beads and crosses,
that be has brought from tbat memorable -town.
He says that he arrived in this coantry about two
months ago, that he visited the Centennial Expo-
aition, and. that he has juat comefrom Philadelphia.
He haa shown me a certificate from the pripsts of
St. Catbsrine's church in Bethlehem, stating that he
is a good Catholic and desires to cro in business in
New-Xork. His name Is Salah Elieattan. I told
htm that he could get a permit here for keeping a
stand lor the sale of religious articles." The Arab
theh left the office.
THBrEAST BIYEB BRIDGE.
It was expected that another cradle-rope
would be stretched across the East River yesterday,
but, owing to delays in its manufacture, it was not
received. It will probably be placed in position
this week. As soon as this is done, it istheloten-
tiqn of Engineer Hoebling to have the cradles, (ail
of which are in readiness,) tsuapendsd, and work
begun on the foot-bridge aboat tbo first of next
month, and poshed as rapidly as circumatances will
permic. ^^^^^^
AN HONEST CAB DRIVER.
The American iCegister says : " Jean Lef&vre,
driver of the cab No. 7,950, found tbis week, m his
vehicle, a portfobo containing 120,000 francs in bank
bills. Without a moment's hesitation he drove to
ths place where he had deposited the person who
had left the moaey in the carnage, and gave it up
to the almoat frantic loser, who feared he would
never again hear ot his treasure. He forced upon
Lel^vre a 1,000 franc bill, whose name we publish
with pleasure, such aots of probity deserving men-
tion." ^

SORB FOB THK REPUBLICANS— THB DEM-
OCRATS QIYISQ UP LOUISIANA.
The news from South Carolina this morn-
ing shows more clearly than before the ex-
tent of the Republican victory. Notwith-
itanding the efforts of the Tilden Democ-
f»oy, and in the face of intimidation before
ftnd after the election^ the Pa|metto State,
)n the^ official count, gires Gtov. Hates a
a^ority of nearly 1,000 votes. This re-
mit has been arrived at after the purely
"ministerial'* count demanded by the
"'shot-jrun" Democracy and enforced by the
Oemo(uratic m^ority of the Supreme Court.
Kbt content -with depriving the State Board
«f their Judicial powers, the Democratic
attorneys, when they found the result
going against them, endeavored to exclude
the members ot the press from the sessions
bf the board, and otherwise prevent the
fitct ctfaBepublioan majority from becom-
ing pubho. In Florida, where the same
policy' has been attempted, it is hourly be-
Qoming clearer that Hates has a substan-
tial majority in the total vote of the State.
Additional returns from the Democratic
Bounties in the backwoods districts reduce
the Democratic daims to the most hopeless
figures, and virtually- give the State to
HatAs. The Democratic leaders are despond-
ent, and as a laSt resort are endeavoring to
prevent the Crovemor from canvassing the
electoral vote according to the law of the
State. There is not the slightest chance for
the success of the Democratic schemes, how-
ever, and Florida is as safe for Qov. Hayes
as Yeimont. In Louisiana the Democrats
practically concede the State to the
BepubUcans, and admit that, exclnd-
iag . the votes returned for them by
ihe " bnIldozin£ " process, they are hope-
lessly beatm. The visiting Republicans in
Kew-Orleans replied on Saturday to the last
letter of the Democratic delegation from
the North, to the effect that they wiU be
happy to oonfar at all times with the latter
and to co-operate with them us individuals
in whatever may seem right. They think,
bowever, that the conference for
purposes of joint action, proposed
by the Democrats, is not only
improper but is rendered unnecessary
by the communication of the Betaming
rBoord inviting five representatives of each
^r^Iitical party to be present at the counting
0t the vote. They conclude with remind-
ing tho Demoerats that concerted ac-
tion, on their part, with the view
of influencing the action of the
State Kithorities would be entirely uniusti-
fiable and beyond their privilege. The re-
jij is signed by Hon. John Sherman, Hon.
Stanley Matthews, Hon. James A. Gar-
field, Hon. E. W. Stoughton, and seven-
teen others. The indications now are
that the Tilden managers, fisding them-
selves in a minority in the Electoral Col-
lege, propose to try to buy their candidate
into the Presidency. The effert will not
Booseed. RuTBEHFOSD B. Hates has been

By Telegraph from our Special Correspondent.
Columbia, Nov. 19.— Late last night
•ae State Board of Canvassers com-
pleted the footing up ot the returns for
Jtate officers, with the ezeeption of Governor
»nd Lieutenant Governor, and the result 'will
iJbti announced to-morrow. All the Bepub-
ticon ticket except J. B. Tolbert, for the
office of Superintendent of Education, and T.
C. B^ann, for the office of Controller
Cteneral, ia elected on the face of the returns,
the majorities rangiii^ from seven in the case
of Mr. Elliott for Attorney General, to more
tho* two hundred for the others. Tolbert and
Dunn are. defeated, if at all. by some of the re-
tonis givinj; wreni; initials to their names, suen
as J''f»r T in the case of Dunn, and B for li in
the ease of Tolbert. If the correction ot those
bitials is permitted by the court, as always
oas Deen done heretofore, then the entire
ticl^et ia elected. As to the Governor and the
Lieutenant Governor, the Board has heretofore
been is the habit of aggrogating the
'retuma, no one objecting to it ; but tho Dem-
oerats insist that the Constitution of South
Carolina requires the returns lor these officers
lo be traosmitted to the Legislature, and gives
thjl^ body authority to declare who
ia elected. Not desirinR to exerciso
»iiy authority not clearly warranted by the
law, the board will waive the count for these
oilioers and send the returns to the Legislature,
which meets on Tuesday week- It is Isnown,
however, and admitted by all, that the returns
on their face will elect Wade Hampton Gov-
ernor and B. H". Gleaves Lieitf enant Governor,
. \K>th Democrats.
•>^' As to the members of the IjemslAtni«u al"^
:' ■ v-'j-i- ^ir.'.^v^' ^-^J*'/ •■
though the returns are not yet footed up, it is
conceded that they will give the Democrats
64 Assemblymen, and. the Kepublioans 60 ; and
that the Senate will stand 18 Republicans to
15 Demoerats, making a majority ot one for
the Demoerats on joint ballot. Tae Board
ef Canvassers are required, however, to
certify what Assemblymen and what Senators
are elected, and they receive their certificates
of election from the Secretary of State, on this
certification oy the board. ^ Unless the
deolaion of the Supreme Court, which
is expected to-morrow, compels the
board to abide by the returna as
they appear on the face; they will not certify
to the election of the five members of the As-
sembly from Edsefield County, whore the elec-
tion was 80 palpably fraudulent, and in that
case the Democrats would not have a majority
in either house of the Legislature.
It will, therefore, be seen that everything
depends on the decision of the Court, and it is
aw*ited with ereat anxiety by everybody. The
Bepublicans hope, and many of them believe,
that it will be favorable to those enlarged
powers which the board has heretotore
exercised without question; while the
Democrats hope the contrary. Gov.
Chamberlain considers that his only
chance of retaining the office to which he has
undoubtedly been elected, lies in a favorable
decision of the court as to the powers of the
Board of Canvassers. If such deoision is ren-
dered, the RepuOlioans will undoubtedly get
both branches of the Legislature, and will de-
clare Orov. Chamberlain re-elected Governor,
m which case Hampton can contest the seat,
and every facility will be oS^red him to do so.
If, however, the decision js the other way,
Hampton will be declared Governor, and it re-
mains to be se^n whethec Gov. Chamberlain
will be permitted to contest.
A contest ibr the office of Governor can only
be brought about by a jomt resolution of both
houses of the Legislature, and if the Demo-
crats have the lower house it is not believed
they will concur in such a resolution.
The Democrats of South Carolina, as Gov.
Chamberlain remarked to-day — and he wished
the fact to be noted by the people of
the whole coontry — have placed them-
selves in the attitude of trying to prevent aU
investigation into the manner iu which the
late election was conducted in this State,
while the Benublioans have sought in every
possible way, and will continue to seek, to
throw liecht on the^ whole canvass. If by
any means : they can eet an investiga-
tion, thgy 'say, they are willing to
mvite the whole North, of both parties, to wit-
ness it, and will gladly abide by the result.
Gov. Chamberlain is confident that such an in-
vestigation would prove to every candid man
that the entire Bepublioan ticket, both electoral
and State, was! tairly elected by over eight
thousand majority.
A good deal of nervousness and some appre-
hension exists tttnong Bepublicans here as to
what the deoision of the court to-morrow will
be. It is said that Chief Justice Moses
is not friendly to Gov. Chamberlain,
because of ' his refusal to issue a cer-
tificate of election to his son as Judge— a
refusal for whiob he was hiarhly complimented
by the Democrats at the time. Should the de-
cision he manifestly partisan and unfair, it is
believed that the Board of Canvassers will re-
fuse to obey the manddte of the court, and
thus a neV complication would arise.
Many Bepublicans claim that any action
in the premises by the Supreme Court was un-
warranted by law, ani that if they should ren-
der such a decision as the Democrats ask for, it
would be a virtual usurpation of the
powers of the Board of State Canvass-
ers. Some apprehehension exists also
as to what will be the action
of the Democrats in case Hampton is not de-
clared Governor. Threats are reported to be
frequently made that he shall be installed
Governor at all hazards, or there will be
another revolution here. It is not believed,
however, that Hampton would sanction vio-
lent action. He has many Republican friends
here who would like to see him Governor, but
whose support he would lose if hia Democratic
supporters resorted to violence.
Ex-Attorney General Akerman, of Georgia,
arrived here yesterday, and will give the Be-
publicans the benefit of his legal ad-
vice = in any action that it may be
deemed proper to take as events , transpire.
There is need ot legal talent here to
assist the Bepublicans, as most ot the eminent
lawyers of the State are on the other side.
Whatever difficulties may hereafter arise on
the question of the Governorship, there is no
longer doubt that South Carolina has given its
electoral vote to Hayes and Wheeler.
THE STATE SHOWN TO BE REPUBLICAN BY
NKA^RLY ONE THOUSAND MAJORITY ON
THE FACE OF THE RKTURN8— A COUNT
WHICH NO ONE QUESTIONS.
From Yeateraay'8 Edition of the Timei.
Columbia, Nov. 18.— It is definitely de-
cided at last that the electoral vote of South
CaroUna was cast for Hayes and Wheeler in spite
of shot-guns and barrels of money. Tho State
l^oard of Cauvassers completed the count of this
vote at noon to-day, in the presence of eight
chosen representatives of each party, admit-
ted by reselution of the board at the sugges-
tion of Judge Cartter and Congressman
Packer, and there is no complaint from any
one that the count was not perfectly fair.
Alter the count was completed, the board
took a receas while the clerks were
footing up the figures. On reassembling,
the Chairman ot the hoard, Mr. Hayne, di-
rected the Clerk to announce the result, where-
upon Haskell, Chairman of the Democratic
Executive Committee of South Carolina, ob-
jected to reporters of the press being
nrosent to take the vote as declared. Gen.
Connor, Democratio candidate for Attorney
General, also objected to the beard
annotmoine the result until the count of votes
on the other tickets was completed and re-
turn made to the court. In reply, Mr. Hayne
said this was not intended aa an official an-
nouncement of the result, hut merely for the
information of the board. As to the reporters,
they had been permitted to be present during
the count, and he could see no reason why they
should not hear the result. It could make no
diflferenoe any way, as they were in possession
of the figures, and could add them up
for themselves. Gen. Connor took exception to
the ruling of tho Chairman. Mr. Hayneremarkcd
that he was not aware that any of the parties
who had been admitted on either side were
here as counsel, but only as spectators or wit-
nesses to the accuracy of the eount. The re-
sult of the Electoral vote was then declared by
tho clerk as follows :

The raasou of Hurley running so much behind
the other Electors is owing to a clerical
error of the Inspectors ot Election in
]Ei4ackvilie, Barnwell County, who accident-
ally omitted his name in their return to
the County Commissioners. Pending decision
of the Supreme Court as to the power of the
board togo behind the face of the returns, as
forwarded by the County Commissioners, the
board could not; of course, correct this
clerical error, or any other ; but if
the deoision shall be in their favor,
they will be able to show beyond any question
that the majority of the Republican electoral
ticket, instead of- averaging 900, is nearer
3,000. The Democrats residing here appear
to be much better satisfied with the result
as announced by the board than the men
sent down from the North to count the State
in for Tilden.
All the South Carolina Democrats here hoped
for was the election of Hampton, and it is
probable that this is secured, provided the
board shall not be permitted to go back of
the face of the returns. If Edgefield
County, where 2,000 more votes were returned
than there are voters, should be thrown out of
the count, or the returns corrected in accord-
ance with the facts, tho whole Bepublioan
State ticket will be elected, with a Bepublican
msyority in the Legislature. The decision of
the court on the powers of the board in this re-
gard IS expected on Monday.

CURING EVIDENCE OP FRAUDS ON THE
BALLOT — L4J3T HOPE OF THE DESPER-
ATE DEMOCRACY.
Special Dispatch to the New- Tori Times.
Tallahassee, Nov. 19. — The general sit-
uation remains unchanged, and the intense ex-
citement of the past week continues unabated.
The official returns from four more counties, all
Democratic, have been received, and the ma-
jorities fall below the previous estimates, show-
ing conclusively that the Bepublioan
claim of a good majority has
been well founded. As the Democrats
gradually lose faith in their own estimates,
and find the frauds committed by their
tools in many counties being exposed, they
grow more desperate and bitter. Hon. W. W.
Hicks, a prominent leader of the Bepublioan
Party, and a member of Gov. Stearns' Cabi-
net, was publicly assaulted on the streets
in Jacksonville to-day for his opinions and
labors during the 'campaign, and the
lives of other Bepublican leaders are threat -
ened. Nothing but the presence of the United
States troops preserves the public peace. Talla-
hassee is full of Democratio polifcicians from
New-York, Philadelphia, and other Northern
cities, in addition to many from Georgia
and Alabama. Michael Bannon, a well-
known Democratio politician of Baltimore,
who has been here for several days under an
assumed name, left far home yesterday, dis-
gusted with the situatien. It will be a week
or more before all the returns are in. Mean-
whUe, the Bepublicans, assisted by Gen. Bar-
low, Judge Robertson, and Assistant District
Attorney D. G. Rollins, of New-York, are hard at
work securing evidence of fraud already oom-
nutted, and preparing to defeat the frauds
which may be attempted in the future. Ex-
Gov. E. F. Noyes, of Ohio, Hon. John A. Kas-
son, of Iowa, and Gen. Lew Wallace, of Indiana,
will arrive here to-morrow. Perry H. Smith, a
notorious Democratic politician of Chicago, who
went to Milwaukee before tho election to place
Tilden's money where it would do the most
good, will arrive here to-morrow to reinforce
John T. Coyle, Sam. Bard, and othor noto-
rious Democratic outsiders.
A question has arisen whether the Governor
is to canvass the Presidential vote, under the
act of 1847, or the State Canvassing Board, un-
der the act of 1872. The Democrats have
asked permission to submit an argument on
the question, and tho Governor has requested
them to do so. The question is not very
material, as the majority of tho Canvassing
Board, as well as the Governor, are Repub-
licans.
It has leaked out that any amount of money
is on hand from patriotic Democrats from
abroad for the man or men who will dispose of
the nation's hope and rigbt in this supreme
hour of peril. It is saie to notify the
gambling fraternity of patriots that the
Bepublican Party of Florida does not con-
tain the man. Conceding the State ^to
Hayes, certain knowing Democrats resort to
significant winks and shrugs to give emphasis
to their assurance that one man can be found
in 185 Electors to whom a fortune will prove
more valuable than a good name and a good
conscience.
ANOTHEB DEMOCRATIC MANIFESTO.
Dttpatchfrom the Democratic Agent of the Associated Press.
Tallahassee, Nov. 19. — TJiere is reasonable
ground for believing that Ooy. Steams, of this
'>-^ifc' <;.«^><^-^^--^'^^i-^^-^^^.
StBte, will asbume that the State Board has no
power to canvass the electoral vote, but that that
power resides in the Governor. This assamptlun
will permit the Governor to decide all isBues per-
taining to the eanvass, and to Issue his certificate
to whichever set of JSleotors be decides are
elected. TTlw asBumption is 'based upon tho
fact that the act oreaiing.tbo Betnrnlng Board does
not use the word " Electors " in giving the list of
officers wbosQ vote the board aball canvass. The
power to canvass this vote not being specifically
conferred upon the board, the power, he coniendsi
resides iu him, as he is reqmred by a
United States law to Issue the Electors' cer-
tificates, and' mnst canvass the vote in order
that he mav' decide who la entitled, to certifloates.
The Democrats are very much astonished that this
claim should have been set up, and contend that
the word "Electors" is not nsod in the act referred
to, simply becaase Electors are InOluded under the
head of State officers, which oxpression is nsed in
the act. The X>emooratio committee waited
on the Governor and notified him that if he con-
templated such a.step, they ahouM ask permission to
filea proEeat. He stated that they should have an
opportunity to do so, and this morning informed
them by letter that he should be pleased if they
would forward in wrltlne whatever they had to
say upon the subject. This is considered an inti-
mation that be intends to move' in the matter with-
out delay. Elaborate opinions are belaK prepared
on .both sides of this question.
There is some movement ordered In military cir-
cles to-oigfat ; precisely what it is cannot be ascer-
tained. It is snnposed that troooi are going to some
of the contested counties.

By Telegraph from Our Special Corresvondent.
New-Orleans, Nov. 19.— The prominent
Northern Democrats who came to Louisiana
at the request of Messrs. Tilden and Hewitt
are going homo disheartened and disgusted.
They see that Gov. Hayes has undoubtedly
carried the State, and many of them
are unwilling to giv« countenance to
any attempt which may be made to
defraud the Republicans out of the fruits of
their honest victory. In the meantime, the
politicians who remain here are beginning to
talk a great deal about a compromise, and this
morning a number of them tried to make some
kind of terms with Mr. Packard. Both he and
Gov. Kellogg, however, positively refused
to listen to any plan of adjustment other
than that which can be based upon a
tair coiint of the votes. The proposition to
which I refer was not definitely made, still it
was very plainly intimated to Packard that he
could he Governor without trouble if he would
agree to have Tilden counted in by the Return-
ing Board. The ex-Marshal replied that h(«
had no influence with the board; that
it was composed of honorable gentlemen,
w^ho would do their duty-biiBestly and fairly,
and that even if he could control them he
would decline to do so. I am informed, upon
the very best authority, that plans of compro-
mise, similar to the above, were made last
night to at least one member of the Betumine
Board. He indignantly refused to listen to
them, and in the; name of himself and his col-
leagues protested against any further attempts
to influencing the action ot the board. It is but
justice to state that Gen. NiCbolls, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Govenior, is not a party
to any of these schemes, ^^'he./ were all con-
cocted by friends of Ml Tilden, who were
willing to sacrifice the claims of all the State
offices in order to secure the triumph
of the great " reformer." Failing in these
efforts, however, and seeing that they can
never hope to honestly secure Louisiana's vote
lor their chief, they have now vii-tually
abandoned New-Orleans, and are preparing to
devote all their attention to Florida. In three
days there will be a score or more of prominent
Democrats in Tallahassee, and they go pre-
pared to use every means known to the lowest
politician to capture a m^ority in that State.
The leaders of the Bepublican Party should
be warned in time. They must not neglect
Florida. The Democrats are concentrating all
their forces there, and they mean to defeat tho
will of the majority in that State, no matte r
what it may cost to do so. Florida has un-
doubtedly gone Bepublioan by a ms^jority of
several hundred, but the Bepublicans must not
be secure in their victory. Their opponents are
desperate, and they must be watohed closely.
As to Louisiana, there is no doubt. There
need be no anxiety. Upon a fair count the
State will give Hayes a majority of at least
G,000, and a fair count will certainly be had.
The canvass before the State Board cem-
menccs to-morrow, in the presence of five prom-
inent members of the Bepublican Party, and
five well-known Democrats. The committee to
represent the latter party has already been an-
nounced. On the part of the Republicans, Sen-
ator Sherman, Mr. Stoughton, of New-York, and
Gen. Garfield, of Ohio, wUl attend the meetina;.
Of the fifty-seven parishes in the State, forty
have been officially heard from. They show a
Republican majority of from seven to eight
thousand. There will be contests in regard to
at least twelve and perhaps twenty parishes,
but they will not come up until the districts in
which there is no contest have been disposed
of. This is in accordance with the State
election laws. The count of the uncontested
parishes wUl be finished in about three liays,
and then the dianutod ones wUl bo considered.
It is thousht that thev can bo. gone through
within seven days, and that by the 1st of De-
cember an official announcement of the vote
for President and Vice President can be made.
Both sides axe now busy prepanng testimony
which is to be submitted in regard to the oon-
-^ested parishes. Chief amoruc^theac;. are £ast_
and West Feliciana. In both these districts
the Bepublicans have a m^ority of at least
1,000 votes ; yet at tho last election.
as has already been announced, there'
was only one ItepubUoan vote cast in
East Feliciana, and only twenty in We&t Feli-
ciana. In this ct)nnection it has been noted
that the full voting strength of both ol the
parishes was polled on the last election day,
and the Democrats pointed to this fact as an
indication that they bad allowed the negroes
to vote peaoeiully, and that they had
all voted the Democratic ticket. The Repub-
licans will be able to show before the board
that this story is entirely anworthy of credit,
and they •will prove, by the sworn testimony
of dozens of trustworthy witnesses, that
the negroes in the parishes named were
forcibly prevented trova. voting^ that they
■were violently drawn away from the polls, and
that hundreds of armed white men rode across
the border from Mississippi and voted the
Democratic ticket in their places and on their
names. Overwhelming proofs of similar prac-
tices in other parishes are now ready,
and will be produced at the proper
time.
Regarding the difference in the vote for the
National and State tickets, it now seems that
the Bepublicans have been somewhat in error.
At first ' it was announced, as will be remem-
bered, that Gov. Hayes had run at least
twenty-five hundred votes ahead ol the State
ticket. It was definitely ascertained yes-
terday, however, that the difference would
not be more than eight hundred. Some of the
Presidential Electors fall several hundred
votes behind the others. In West Baton
Bouge, for instance, where the negro State Sen-
ator Allain was running an independent ticket,
he failed to print the names of two
ot tho Hayes Electors. In this way
they lost at least one thousand votes. The
Democrats are attempting to make capital out
of this unfortunate circumstance, by declaring
that no miatter what might be the result of the
canvass for electors at large, these two District
Electors have been defeated. They might have
been if they did not have a majority of eight
thousand to draw uporu
To-night the Democratic Campaign Commit-
tee is cireulatina what purports to be a copy of
the official returns from forty-eight parishes,
with nine estimated. According to their
figures, tho majority for two of Mr. Tilden's
electors is 9,249, and for the other three 9,036.
Of coitrse the Demacrats know that this is an
absurd one. Their circular was prepared to
influence the pubU« mind at the North, and for
no other purpose.
A nice question regarding the legality of the
Betuming Board, which was raised here yester-
day, is worthy of a passing notice. It will be
remembered that the board was created by the
same Legislature that elected Pinohback to the
United States Senate. He was re-
fused his seat on the ground that the
Legislature was not properly and legally or-
ganized. Now he claims that if the Beturning
Board is recognized as a legal body, he should
be seated. Of course, his claim is simply another
bid for notoriety. It is laughed at by all the
lawyers here. H. C.

The gentlemen who are here at the request
of the President, and also those sent by the
Republican organizations of States other than
' Louisiana, say that they l^ave determined to se-
cure a full stenographio report of all the pro-
ccedmgs of and evidence given before the Re

may be given to the publio and sent to the

A SOUTHERN POLITICAL DOCUMENT.
THE SORT OF ARGUMENTS USED BY THE DEM-
OCRATS IN SOUTH CABOUNA— A CHEER-
FUL THING TO FIND ON ONE'S DOOR-STEP,
Peacable and law-abiding people, accus-
tomed only to the peaceful, if noisy, methods of
conducting a political campaign in the North,
have some difficulty in understanding the dead-
ly violence and furious passion which mark
nearly every heated campaign in some of the
Southern States. The subjoined letter may do
something to open their eyes. The " warning
No. 2" reterred to in this choice specimen of
political literature, and found inclosed in it, is
a loaded rifle cartridge of fifty calibre, which
is a very ugly missile to have* shot at one, as
the experienced know, A slip of paper was
wrapped around the copper shell, scribbled over
with something which looks like "not be long
in coming." This cheerful missive was intended
for Gov. Chamberlain, of South Carolina, and
was thrown into what the writer' evidently
thought was his front garden, but it happened
to be the garden ijf his next-door neighbor. The
package was picked up by one of the children.
Such an incident at the North would indicate
little more than that the writer of the letter was
s')me crazy idiot ;> but down South, where the
shot-gun policy rules, such messages are apt to
mean aometking. i The following is the letter:
' [Leave S C or die.J

MOVMMENXS OF TBOOPS.
FOUR COMPAinKS OF THE FOUBTH xk-
TILLEBY IN WASHZHOTON — BETICENCB
OF THE ARMY OFFICEBS.
Bvtdal Dv*f)<aA to the NtV'Yorlt Timtt.
Washington, Nov. 19.--Pour companies
of the Fourth Artillery arrived here this
morning, direct from South Carolina, and are
now quartered at the Arsenal. They number
two hundred and fifty men, are under the com-
mand of Capt Loder, and come here in pursu-
ance of orders from Gen. Sherman. None of the
officers of Gen. Sherman's staff knew of their
coming, and profess Ignoranee of their future
movements. On Monday night last Gen. Sher-
man sent Col. Bacon, of his staf^ to South
Carolina with sealed orders for Capt.
Loder to move his command to Wash-
in cton without delay. Upon receiving
his erders Capt. Loder put the
four companies in immediate motion for Nor-
iolk, at which point they were embarked on a
steamer for this city, and landed at the arse-
nal to-day, where preparations for quartering
them had already been made. The arrival of a
detachment of United States soldiers has caused
considerable excitement, or rather curiosity,
since it has been denied for two days by many
prominent officers of tho Gk>vemflient that any
troops had been ordered here or elsewhere,
and a statement of that denial was tele-
graphed to all parts of the coun-
try yesterday. Two .or three Cabinet
officers spoken to this evening did not
known that the soldiers were here, or.wereoom-
ing, and Secretary Cameron this evening, in
company where there was no need ot conceal-
ment, made no mention of the affair. So tar as
appears from information accessible t«-night, no
ope but Gen. Sherman knew of the movement,
but that is hardly possible. It is reported that
arrangements have been made at the arsenal
to receive two regiments of infantry, which
would be seven or eight hundred men, and it is
q^ite probable that a thousand men, or at least
two regiments, are to be brought here.
It may , be, on the other hand,'
that the preparations and movements are
merely casual and temporary, as one officer of
the Cabinet expresses the opinion they
aie. But while no explanation is made
by the President or Gen. Sherman
ot the purpose of the movement,
which is doubtless very simple and usual,
there will be an attempt to treat the affair as
mysterious and strange. A report prevails to-
night that the three companies now on the way-
East from Forts Riley and Fetterman are also
to be quartered at Washington instead of New-
York.
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
SENSATIONAL STOBIE8 ABOUT MB. SOLLACB,
OF VEBMONT — THE BBPOBTED INELI-
GIBILITY OF A EHODB ISLAND ELECTOB
DI?P©SED OF.
Special Dispatch to the Ifew-York Ttmes.
BuELiNGTON, Nov. 19. — The dispatches
sent from Montpelier and Boston to yesterday's
papera concerning the SoUace case were entirely
sensational. Democratio letters do not claim that
Aldrieh, the Democratic Elector, is chosen instead of
SoUace. No notice has been served nnen the County
Clerks claimiuK that votes cast for SoUace were il-
legal. Possibly Judge Smaller may isne att inj unc-
tion restraining the County Clerks firom declaring
the election of more than four Electors ; but this is
mare stirmtse, and snob action is not eentrally ex-
pected. B. B. Sm&lley, son of the J udge and Clerk
of the United states Court, says, to-day, that no
request has thus far been made to his father to. is-
sue an injunotion :
Pbovidbscb, Noy, 19.— Gov. Lippltt, yester-
day, received the. following telegram from Gen.
Sickles :
Kbw-Tobb:, Nov. 18.
To Gov. Ltppitt :
It is reported here, on the authority of ■William
Beach Lawrence, that one of the Bapablican Elec-
tors of Rhode Island is inelieible, and that the law
of your State gives the office to the person having
the highest vote, who is qualified. Lawrence
olainiB to be elected himself: D. E. SICKLES.
To this Gov. Llppitt replied :
Our State laws provide for all contingencies in
the case of vacancies from any cause in the Elec-
toral CoUeKP. This State will give four votes for
Hayes and Whooler, H. LIPPITT.
The only occasion for this correspondence is the
fact that Hon. George H. Corliss. Elector elect, is a
Centennial CoainisRioner appointed by tho Presi-
dent on the nomination of the Governor.

Senator Bruce and ex-Senator Pease^

the recent "victory " of the Deaaocracy in Mis-

In the meantime, I desire t» adce egtraeto-.
from three letters Jtut received from Missiasip^

A prominent and influential lawyer at Hia^

private letter to a friend 4n Washington :

true, that Rutherford Bu „_
ident. even counting this State for TUdien ; and
that, as far as the electoral result goes, tbe
vote of Mississippi will aake no difference. Tefr
aside from and above this fact, is a dangeroua
principle that is sought to be established by re-
eognizing, even mdSeotly, the vote of Missis-
sippi as a legitimate vote, by censfflnting t»
count it at ail. Republicans here do protest,
and the lovers of hberty everywhere should
protest against this recognition of the ri^ht of
an oreanized ruffianism to decide the destiny oi
a State or nation. Thus to sanction it is to of-<
fer a reward to those who, by force and by
bloodshed, are seeking to crush oat Republican-
ism in the South.
It is almost traeioal to us here to read ia
the Northern papers that there was an elecAi«k
in this State, and about the Deasocratio iiia->
jority here, and to think that a nation^ proud
of its liberty, should even think of ooimtinc tba
electoral Totes of Mississippi, when we Imm
know that the pretended result was the frnit b£
terrorism and intimidation and bloodshed ;
when we know that every honest ajad intailiw
gent Democrat in Mississippi never pretends^
here, to deny that if the election had been a)
fair one, Hayes and Wheeler woijld have re-
ceived a nu^'ority of at least SO-.OOO, instead of^
being 60,000 for Tilden.

»■-%'
The election here was a medley of traeody,
comedy, and farce. When, in the caavass, aad
at tbe polls, in any part of the State, men. weru
shot down liKe dogs ; when they were taken
from their homes, and fiogeed and hung for
opinion's sake, it assumed the dignity of »
tragedy. And the campaign was lull rot suoh
tragedies.
It was a comedy when ignorant black men
were given apparently regular Bepublicaa
tickets, with the likenesses of our oandidatea
and their names, and then the Democratic Eleo^
tors at the bottom of the ticket, and Athene
were counted Democratio.
It was a farce when DemooraHo roughs
were intrusted all night with ballot boxes
and the keys to the same '4o see tihak
all yi^s fair' and that 'there was no
cheatings,' or when the boxes were not opened
before 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and often aa
late as 4 P. M., and then there remained jast
time enough to 'voXn Democrats — who too^
charge. Jmd this election was made still more
of a farce than any that are put on the stages
of the Washington or New- York theatres when,
at Democratic head-quarters, it 'was detersuned
and carried out that no' white Republioaa
should be appointed a Judi;^ at an election, smd
no black man who could '^read or write ; and
when, at heavy EepubUoan voting preoincts.
olerks delayed the voting so that three-fourtha
of the Bepublicans did not and ooul4 not vote.
V.
Then again it was a combination- of all
three when we read the returns from Yasoo—
with two Reptiblican rotes — a oountv which, at
a fair election, would have given a R^pabliean.
majority of 2,500 ; and when -^e^^ead that
Madison County f^ve seventeen BepuhUeau
votes — which, at a free election, 'would have
given 2,000 Republican m^ority. It was th6
same in Lowndes ; while the chivalrous county^
of Amite bears the banner 'with not on* £•<
publican vote. From other counties come
same news.
VL
Let as pause a minute here. Yazoo/Coanty.
contains a white population of 4.884. and •
black population of 12.395. This gives a blac^
maiority of T,511. It gave Grant in 1872, a vota
of 2,433, and Greeley 922. In 1869 tbe
relative proportion was maintaued. It gava^
Alcorn (Republican) 2,642 votes, and Dent
(Democratic) 815.' The lesser Democratio
vote in 1869 'was probably owing to the
fact that at that time a considerable
number of tbe whites were disqualified aa
voters from their participation in the -rebellien.
Dent, the Democratic candidate, was a brother*
in-law of President Grant, and he •was express-
ly imported into the State by the Democracy — •
although he had never lived there, and did notj
mean to live there, and did not ownafootofj
soil there— in order to defeat Alcorn, the Re<
publican candidate, who had lived in xbe State
from his boyhood, had always been a 00Qspica<
ous politioian, and was one ef the largest slave
and land-ewmers in MississippL When tho
Democracy denounce the carpet-baggers ot
Mississippi in the North, they always remem-
'ber to forget the name of Dent. In 1873 Amds
ran against Aloorm^Ames was the regular Be-
publioan candidate. ^Alcorn had made an ex-
cellent Governor, honestiy enforced tho
rights ot.- the '^blacks, and shown that
he was entitled J to their support by bis
honorable , action, it But he made war against
Ames, and Ames aiade war against him, andj
Alcorn became not the Democratie but the ep-'
position candidate. What was tho result!
Ames, In 1873, polled^"2,409 votes, and Aloorn
only 617. There was ' aa honest and full vote.
The falliag off that Aloorn suffered from
the previous Democratic vote was owing to
the support of men like Gen. Chalmers, who
advocated theoVims of Amss— as the ^♦Forjl
Pillow kero" has recently said — ^m order to con-
solidate the blaek vote and thereby ruin the
Bepufaliean Party, which, tn his Judgment,

the abad old times when slavery craeked its

u iu>w, the surrender waa styled a compromise

hiisa eoBsisted in giving the Democrats
tw» members of the Leffistature, two
meinbars of the Board of Supervisors, and a
Juatice of the Peace in each of the SapemsorB'
iistricta. At a free election the Democrats
xmld not have chosen a sinele officer. In pub-
liafaing the terms of the rarrender — in his ad-
beaa to the Se^ublioana of Madison County —
the Chairman, Henry R. Smitb, gave aa his
«aaon for eonsentine to it this maoh-revealing

enged, exceptuBS at a safe distt^toe of a thon-
land miles in the halls of Congress :
" This arroD^ement was entered into by ns
Bolely in the interests ot peace, to prevent
scenes of riot and bloodshed, whioh are taking

of our community."
The Sepnblieans kept tlhefr part of the ooin-
promise. The Democrats got their offices. And

eompromises in Madison County— unless the
Ikandita of the Gult States are taught that the
righta ot every voter, if need be, shall be pro-
tected by the strong-armed hand of the nation.

10 and 12 P. iS.., a party of men shot into the
house of Bailesd Pairiaz, a colored man, and
ran him away from his premiaea, so that he la a
refugee. This waa done on account of his pali-
tioal opiBions, be being a Eepablican. lliey
fired some thirty shots into the house, and com-
pletelv riddled the house with their bullets.
Me escaped through the iooriqg. Several col-
ored persons saw the shooting, but are alraid to
make affidavit to that effect.
Threats have been made that leading Bepub-
heans cannot live in tbis district.
I am a Magistrate and was elected on the
compromise ticket. I was one of the exocutive
committee that made the compromise -vttth the
nnderscandinfr that all the colored voters
vtaould have a rignt to vote any ticket -without
mterference or iutimidation.
There are a certartn class of citizens in this
' district who are determined to run off the
leading Bcpublicaas, and since the election
have kept up such intimidation that, if not
ebeckea in time, it may lead to something
fcrioos. The colored people living in this dis-
trict are peaceable and law-abiding, and I
think their rights ought to be protected.
'1 be colored men are intimidated to auch an
extent that something mast be done. * * »
1 know the dunes of my office and adl able to
pertorm tde same ; but when eitizons are per-
secuted and their lives threatened oa account
of political views, 1 think it needs protection
Irom a higher power than a Jastice's court."
And what has become of poor Bailess Fair-
lax (
'• I know not," writes the Justice of the
Peace ; " be and several other colored men had
reoted. the Kinch Kearney plantation lor this
fear. He had a crop of cotton, but had not
gathered it,"
There was no compromise tbis year.
Believing that the North was indifferent to
the slaughter of colored loyalists, the Demo-
crats of Madison have become bolilef now, and
enly 17 Eepubiican ballots were permitted to
be cast in a county containing 2,500 Bepublioan
voters.
VIIL
Lowndes Coanty has a black population *f
23,022 and a white population ot 7,480.
It gave Greeley 765 rotes, and Grant 2,512
rotes.
In 1873 it gayo Alcorn 716 votes, and Ames
ji,725 votes.
In 1875 it gave the Democratic candidate
' 2,137, and the Bepublioan candidate 2,021.
In this county, m 1875, seme shanties were set
on fire by Democrats in Columbus, on the out-
skirts ot the town, the negroes charged with
It, and four of them shot dead. Another negro
(Latham) was taken out of his bed, from the
Sideof hiis wife, and assassinated near his bouse,
jilabama ruffians were brought over into the
county at the expense of the City Council ; and
then, after the election tlie ballot-boxes were
stuffed. I gave several abstracts of affidavits
•a to the outrages in this county in my letters
in Thb Times on the " Oxford Grand Jury,"
But the negroes did vote, although frauds
overwhelmed their ballots. , Now, it is re-
ported, they have not been allowed to vote at
all.
' In tlie neighboring Coantv of Oktibbeha, one
jf the most cowardly massacres ot modern
history was perpetrated only a few months
ago. The colored BepublicanS dasired to hold
a political meeting in Oktibbeha. The leaders
ot the White Lme clubs forbade' it, saying that
thev would not allow another Badical meeting
;o bo held in the oounty. The younger Bepub-
licaua, in the evening, met at a colored church
in the country, away ttom ti^f dwellings of the
whitea, so that no one could protond to bo dis-
turbed by them. They made a bonfiro, and had
Clab stole np in the darkness, and, -withoat a
word of warning, opened firo on them. Four
mem were killed, and twentj-aeven men were
wounded. " The road next day was still red
with human blood, and looked," said a Demo-
crat, " as some one had been slaughtering bogs
there."
So Lowndes is now seenre to Demoeraoy.
IX.
Amite Cotmty, as stated in a recent letter,
like Wilkinson County, and the adjoining
parishes of Feliciana In Louisiana, is domi-
nated by outlaws, who have utterly subjugated
the Eepublioans. It has a white population of
4,196, and a black population of 6,777.
In 1872 it gave Greelev 578 votes and Grant
995. Now Hayes gets— iVb« one !
Like East and West Feliciana, ita Bepublioan
vote has been bulldozed — that is to say, in the
English tohgue, whipped and exiled and assas-
ainated out of existence.
X.
I BOW resume my extracts from the Mlssis-
aippi letter :
"And yet," he writes, in righteous indigna-
tion, " this must be called an election 1 Missis-
sippi's eight Electoral votes, thus blaelc Trith
fraud, thus smeared with human blood, must
oflfset the Electoral vote of Vermont or Cali-
fornia, where evervman voted -without fear and
freely as he desired. Shall this be submitted to
in a country whose chief boast is the protection
that she throws around her citizena, however
lowly? Shell this be tolerated in a country
where the sanctity of the ballot-box is said to be
the palladium of our liberties 1
As an American first of all, and as a Mis-
•issippian by birth, I protest against the count-
ing of the banditti vote of Mississippi. We ap-
peal to the loyal States for protection."
XI.
Here is a private letter written &om Central
Miasissippi by a Mississippi woman, who, al-
though her husband is a Bepublioan, has a1-
Wf^ya been a Democrat — as every one of her
blood relations is. She never dreamed that it
would be published. It is a picture of a wife's
anxiety for her husband's life on the evening of
the election :
Nov. 7, 1876.
* * * I do hope you have not thought me
neglectful of your letter that I received three
weeks ago ; but since then I have been in such
a whirl of excitement that I have been utterlv
unfitted for anything. You can understand the
condition of affairs, as you were here at last
election. [The campaign of assassination and
intimidation of 1875, whioh revolutionized the
State, and seeks to derringer Lamar into the
United States Senate.] It is terrible. It aeems
to me sometimes we have been deserted by
God. Why are such outrages permitted?
There is a perleet reign of terror here, but I
hope and trnst the worst is past. It is now
about 7 o'clock and the town is verv quiet, but
I suspect there has been trouble outside. It
may be that ihe voters are ao quelled that very
few will attempt to vote. Every one is fright-
ened to death, and Gen. George has it all his
own way as much^as the Czar of Russia."
XIL
This Gen. George is the man who organized
the campaign of 1875, m whioh, in all human
probability, three hundred negroes perished by
assassination; in which free speech and free
ballots were uittsrly and everywhere sup-
pressed; and m whioh a Bepublioan majority
of over twent-^ thousand was changed by out-
rage and terrorism into a Democratic majority
of over thirty thousand. He is Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee. He is the man
who had the aubUme asaurance to telegraph,
before the Presidential election, that " our peo-
ple want to be friends of the North if it will let
them." Imagine Boas Tweed telegraphing to
the National Convention of the Young Men's
Christian Association that he and his roughs
wanted "to be friends of the Church if it would
let them." This would be a faint and far-
away parallel to hia insulting message.
XIIL
" I have been troubled," continues the Mia-
aiasippi lady, " almost beyond bearing, not
only for tbe safety of my own family, but my
heart aches i'oi those unfortunates who are
hunted and killed for opinion's sake. And the
great American Government, whioh boasts of
its freedom, fails to extend protection to its
humblest citizens on its own soiL My blood
boils when I think of the treatment that haa
been meted out to the negroes. Thmk what in-
consistency I Not one thing has been done in
this State. • * *
My greatest fear is in case of Tilden's election.
This county would go -wild, and what would be-
oome of me ? My house has been a refuge for
the terror-stricken; and only on Saturday
night a negro came, late in the night, for protec-
tion, as he was being hunted through the city
by about forty men trying to kill him. ITou
oan imagine how I felt, not knowing what mo-
ment the house might be surrounded and he
dragged out and killed before our eves. I had
a revolver under my head and my nusband had
ano,ther, prepared to fight it out on that line.
And the worst of it is, 1 do not dare to let a
-human soul know what I fear. I am in agony
when [her husband] is ont of my sight.
1 am nearly irantio. God help me if Tilden is
elected. 1 have lost all hope ot everything. I
was up nearly all last night- and shall be to-
night.

You -will see from. the newspapers how it is
down here; but they say nothing of the people
who are in the swamps, and of the every-day
killing, and the thousand outrages and acts of
oppression. The people here were and are pre-
pared at the slightest exeuso to kill and
slaughter.
XV.
Thare have been band-bills and posters all
over town, put un during the last two nights,
mviting tbe people to be on hand at a moment's
notice. I inclose you one that was posted on
our gate.
Friends have been to my husband advising
him to say nothing, to be very quiet, and do
nothings I cannot write you an interesting let-
ter. My head and heart are too full of our
troubles here."
XVI.
A gentleman of character and high social po-
eitiou thus writes, under date of Nov. 14, from
one of the river cities :
" in my estimation our country la in the
greatest imaginable danaer, and to save it
irom ruin prompt and firm action must be had.
TbrougUout Mississippi the greatest terrorism
and Irauda wore enacted. It has been so
throughout the Gulf States everywhere. By
these means Tilden is elected, if elected at ail.
The entire North is interested in tne result.
'I%ie question is, will the loyal men Nortb,
those who saved the country by their valor,
submit to Its destruction at the hands of those
who once tried to oestroy it by armed force,
now by the power of the mob 1 Is violence to
decide the destinies of this nation 1 Will law
and order and right submit to -riolenco, disor-
der, and wrons '{. These quaations have to be
sent home to every man, and tbe issue must
be fairly met by the friends of law, and oua
side or tho other must triumph.
XVII.
Take Mlsaissibpi, and enough of crime and
violence can be unearthed — enacted by the dis-
loyal and reactionary party — to make it im-
possible tor any lover of his country to con-
sent to its indorsement by counting its elec-
toral vote. If prominent journals at the North
would send down correspondents here to write
up the facts, Mississippi would furaiah a vol-
ume of such startling atrocities that it would
be a stain on this nation forever if it permitted
the electoral vote of the State to be counted,
or tho Congressional delenatiou to take its
seat. Now is the time to apply remedies that
will make such crimes foreyor impossible.
While the great North is so vitally luterested,
these evils South should be corrected. If the
present opportunity is permitted to i)a88 with-
out the proper remedy being admiuisterod, we
then surrender ourselves, the nation, and lib-
erty, to the Southern orttanizod banditti to do
as they please for a generation.
XVlll.
Justice and order demand, and I think the
hi;ih order of statesmanship -will sue to it, that
the pruning-knife is thoroujihiy used, and all
fraud be eliminated trom our political system.
It must be done, or we are lost as a nation.
Where fraud and violence appear, as a control-
ing feature in the election, let the entire
branch be cut off in order to get rid of the dis-
ease, to save the tree. I myself can produce
evidence at once in our State which will De so
dark and damnable that the nation will rise to
put it d«wn."

THE RESULT IN CONNECTICUT.
BXTRAORDI17ABT DEMOCRATIC INCREASB OP
VOTE IN THB CITIES — NEARLY TWENTT-
©NE THOUSAND MORE VOTES CAST IN
THE STATE THAN EVER BEFORE — CON-
VINCING KVIDENCE OB" FRAUD.
From an OecaHonal Correspondent.
Hartfobd, Saturday, Nov. 18, 1876.
The Democratic leaders .j^e bo ready to
claim fraud, even antecedently and presump-
tively, that it is rather surprising that they
have overlooked ons notable instance much
nearer their head-quarters than New-Orleans
or Tallahassee. If there ever was a presump-
tive case of fraudulent voting, the State of
Conneeticut offers one in its last return, and
the evidence of it, after a little sifting, shifts
from presumptive to direct and conclusive.
The gentlemen -who are now insisting that the
President to be inaugurated next March must
be shrouded -with no suapiclon of eettlng the
high honor by fraud, will do well to give the
figures given below at least a hasty considera-
tion. Sven thac will convince a fair-minded
man.
The vote of Connecticut on the 7th inst. was :
For Tilden Electora 61,784
For Hayes Elector 58.985
Scattering „ 1,029
Total 121.798
The vote of one town, not yet returned, is to
be added to this, and will bring the figures very
nearly to ^ne hundred and twenty-two thousand.
When this result was announced, not only the
people who take but little active interest in
politics, hut the politicians — those who sup-
posed they could tell within four or five thousand
votes what the total would be — were dura-
founded. There is not a nian to be found in the
State who is honest, and who has had any
knowledge ot affairs, political and econom-
ical, who does not freely admit that the figures
are far too large to have been honestly obtained.
Such a belief, if founded on a surmise, should,
of course, have little weight when so grave a
charge may hinge upon it. A careful examina-
tion of the population of the State ; of the pre-
-vious record of votes cast; of the places where
this great gain on all other totals has been
made up, together -with a knowledge of the
ease with whiah, under the State laws, fraudu-
lent voting may be done, proves that no other
belief oould be honestly entertained than that
an immense fraudulent vote has been cast here.
The largest vote ever cast m the State pre-
vious to this one of the 7th was in April, 1875,
when tho total vote for Gtvemor was 100,983,
80 that in a year and a half the vote haa in-
creased some twenty-one thousand. The vote
in 1875 has always been regarded as suspicious-
ly large. Now, the average of voters in the
State to population has been about as one to
six. In 1870 it was a trifle larger than this.
The census of 1870 gave the State 537,454 in -
habitants, an increase jover the census ot 1860
of about seventy thousand, and this was the
largest increase for a decade ever reported,
with a single exception. The vote of 1870 was
nearly eighty-nine thousand, which, multiplied
by six, gives 534,000 for the population, show-
ing that one to six is about the right propor-
tion. If we apply this test now,we find that the
population ot the State, a%iadicated by the vote
of the 7th mst., is 733,000, an increase since
1870 of nearly two hundred thousand, and at
this rate the population in 1880 will be nearly
nine hundred thousand. That there has been
any such increase every one knows is ab-
surd. If the population to-day ia 50,000
more than it was in 1870, Connec-
ticut has been far more prosperous than
even the best informed ol its citizens' had sup-
posed. But if we look at it in another way,
this astonishing growth ia equally marvelous.
Last April the vote of the State was 97,339.
In seven months it has iucreasod about 25,000.
Now, it was to have been expected that the
Presidential vote would be larger than the
Gubernatorial, but that it would be one quar-
ter as large again was such an absurdity to
claim, that one might as well have said that it
would have been doubled. Surely enough has
been given to show beyond reasonable doubt
that the vote of the State is out of all propor.
tion to the population. Now, where
does this increase come from, and
who is responsible for it ? The Republican
vote tor President in 1872 and 1868 was nearly
51,600. The Democratic vote for President tn
1872 was nearly 46,000, and in 1868 nearly
48,000, the difference representing Democrats
who would not vote lor Greeley. The Eepub-
iican vote, then, since 1872, has increaeed about
7,000, the Democratic about 16,000 ; or, allowing
that 2,000 Democrats did not vote in 1872 who
did in 1868, the total is 14,000, or just double
the Eepubiican increase — an absurdity »n tbe
face of it. Ijet us go further, however, and see
just where the Eepublicans get their increase,
and where the Democracy get theirs. Taking
the twenty-one largest cities and to-wns, and
comparing the vote with that of 1872, tho iol-
lowmg significant result is obtained:

POETICAL, JUSTICE.
From the Boston Advertiser.
The strong Republican vote in Florida is not
an accident, nor au unexpected flasii of lightniag
from a|Clearaky. Itia the deserved and legitimata
result of the prevision of clear-eijhted men who
long since tried to do their duty in the roal reoen-
atruction of tbe Sonfh. Aa aoon as the war was
over, the New-England Emigrant Aid Company,
which had before confined Ita work to Kansas and
Teras— in the first of which States it had some suo-
oe.<i8 — took Florida for the next field of its opera-
tions. For more than a year the company
was engaeed in diiectlnE emigration thither,
and a considerable infaaion of Ncw-JEdk-
lund life and a larse emiirratlon from tbe
North-wfst followed ita efforts. The ofjcers
of tbe company especially occupied tbemselves with
the eslablisbmeot of sohuols for both races, and a
practicable system of school eaucatiun grew out of
their endeayors. From the very first, thelejtislation
of Florida was fair to the blacks, and every en-
couragement waa Kiven to them to tako up their
own homeiteada. As a conaeqaenco, the black pou-
ulation of Florida increased between 1860 and 1870.
even fasti-r than the increase by birth. Its tolerant
legislation druw negroes in, and the increase of the
colored race in three years was thirty-Cwo pei- cent.
In Us neighbor, Georgia, the increase in the same
years was only foartcen per cent. The gentlemen
m this neighoorhood who cordieilly gave their
monfey for the establiabment of schools and print-
ine-pressea in Florida have probably never received
any cash dividends fcim that investment, but they
are being paid in fall to-ilay. Tho harvest of to-day
i^ the Ickiitimate iruit of seed lone sinoe sown.

had not got systematized elsewhere. The
Uepnblioan Legislature of that year
saw where the difBloalty lay, and passed
a very stringent efeetion law, by
whioh frAud became almost impossible: and
as a result, the Democratic vote in the Fall of
that year for President, when it ia expected that
the largest vote will be polled, fell off 3,000—
that is, it went back to about the rightful Dem-
ocratic figures — between forty-seven and forty-
eight thousand. It is still more singular that
from the Fall of 1868 to the Spring ot 1875 tho
Democratic vote kept at about this average. In
1874 it was nearly 47,000. That year the Demo-
cracy captured the Legislature and immedi-
ately "let down the bars." An election law was
passed -whichmade repeating and fraudulentSat-
urahzation easv, and the result was that the very
next year the Democratic vote jumped up to 53,-
752. an increase of nearly 7,000. It fell to 51,000
last April, but this Fall in only seven months
addsnearly 11,000. Canlthis be explained on any
other supposition than that of fraud ?
Under the laws of the State there is nothinz
TO prevent the taking out ot certificates upon
the names of dead men, of those who have
movod away, or in fact of issuins forged oertifl-,
cates. These may be voted on anywhere in'
the StatOj and only need v to be presented on
election day. There ia no opportunity to exam-
ine a man's claim ; challenging does no good,
for in the short time no proof against the voter
oan be brought forward. Registry lists are
worthless, as the la-w permits additions on
election day. Naturalizations are done in the
petty courts and so far as the evidences ot the
party's qualifications are concerned are a farce.
Fertunately, through the splendid efforts of
the Hon. N. T. Sperry. Chairman of the Repub-
lican Committee, the Legislature has been re-
gained. Stringent election laws vrill now be
passed, and the result -will be that at the next
election there will be an astonishing falling olf
of the Demoeratio vote. Such is the explana-
tion of the singular work of the "Reform"
party in Connecticut. E.

A TORACIOUS SNAKE.
An Iowa paper has the following story: " A
farmer livinsr near Eldora, In Iowa, bad three val-
uable farm-horses recently destroyed by a monster
snake. When discovered they were Ulorally crushed
into a Jelly. The farmer's name is given as Gabriel
Stout, and a neighbor of hia, S. Carlin. lost a fine
t-wo-vear-old colt that was killed by the same snake.
The whole nelghbprhood have turned out in searcn
of the monster, but all that ihey have been able to
discover 80 far is a portion of Ins snakeship's last
year's skin, eleven feet in longlh, which is supposed
to be only about a third cf ita entire leniitli. An-
other farmer writes from the neighborhood of the
monster's whereabouts, that two calves and several
head of young stock are mysteriously n'.isaing, and
the opiiuon U senvral that they have been killed
and eaten by the bli snake. There appears to be
some truth in the story. The eleven feet portion of
Vbe skin of last year that was found daring a hunt
for the rep'tile la now on eithibitlon at the ctmrt-
bonse at Eldora, and S. H. McBnde has organized

It wiU be seen that nearly 9,000 of the Demo-
cratic gain was obtained in these larger places,
4,000 Of it in Hartford, New-Haven, and Bridge-
port, while only 3,000 of the Republican gain is
obtained in the same places. But if -wo ex-
amine the smaller towns and tarming villagoB,
we find Eepubiican gains ot from ten to twenty,
thirty, &o. This is explained by two incen-
tives. Firat, there was awakened sentiment in
all these places which tended to bring out the
Republican vote ; and further, the Chairman of
the Republican Committee, Hon. N. T. Sperry,
had sent personal letters to many of the Re-
publicans who had been rather indifferent of
late, urging them to come out and vote. This
they did, and it is in these towns that the bulk
of the Republican gain is found, and is so
widely distributed as at once to preclude the
idea of fraud. It also explains why tho Ro-
pubhcans won such a substantial victory in
seciiring" the Legislature, although the majority
against them last Spring was eighty-six on
ioint ballot.
THE ABStJRDITY OF THE GAIN IN PROMINENT
CITIES.
Take, now, the vote of the three cities where
the Democracy gained 4,000 votes. Hartford
polled 10,139, whioh indicates a population of
nearly sixty-ono thousand, an increase since
t}ie last census of 24,000. Where are the 24,000
persons? The shopkeepers and business men
would like to see them. New-Haven polled
11,885, indicating a population of 72,000, an in-
crease since 1870 of 22,000— something the most
enthusiastic New-Havener never dreamed of.
Bridgeport polled 5,523, indicating a population
of 33,000, or an increase since 1870 of 14,000,
nearly doubling ; while in Norwich, a city that
certainly has not gained population since 1870,
the vote indicates an increase of nearly ten
thousand. These are the places Irom which the
great Democratic increase comes. The vote in
Hartford in 1870 waa about six thousand five
hundred; the census gave tho city 37,000 in-
habitants, showing tliat the proportion used —
one to SIX — is approximately correct. The vote
of New-Haven in 1870 was a little over eight
thousand ; the census gave the city 50,000, the
ratio here being tolerably accurate, and tho
Bridgeport estimate is similarly close.
t, A word now as to the means by which thi.s
mcreaso waa obtained. The State hail never,
sinoo the organizatiou of the Republican Party,
given a Democratic m.ijority until 1867, when
Gov. English was elected oy a small majority
over Gov. Hawley. Up to this time such a
thing as fraudulent voting ih tho State waa
seldom heard or thought of : although tho laws
were very loose, there had bjaon no ocoasiou
to put up guards before this year, 1867. With
the advent of Gov. English caine some shrewd
men. who were not slow to see what advan-
tage could be taken of the looseness ot the law.
It waa about this time that the Tweed influence
began to be telt in the State, through Wood-
ward. In the Spring of 1868 Gov. English's
vote jumped to 50,600, but the principal theatro

THE SENATOBS FROM COLORADO. ,
A SECTIONAL STRIFE — JEROME B. CHATPEE
AND HENRY M.. TELLER CHOSEN — NA-
TURE OP THB CONTEST — THE LA-W
REGARDING ELBCTOSS.
From Our Oion Correspondent.
Denver, Tuesday, Nov. 14, 1876.
There has been a lively hunt among
Colorado politicians since midsummer. Such
an amount of fat game to be bagged never
comes but once, and that when a State is new.
While the Governorship and Congressional
honors were looked upon as well worth " bring-
ing down," and Supreme Judgeships were
aimed at, yet the big game all along has been
the two United States Senatorships. There
was a desperate scramble for these, and the
State Legislature, which has now been in ses-
sion two weeks, could do nothing until the
contest was decided. Both parties have been
in caucus more or leas for several days, and
tho Republicans have on several occasions pro-
longed theirs well through the night. The
Democrats, who could have no other hand in
the matter than to go through the motions,
readily decided upon W. A. H. Love-
land, of Golden, and Thomas Macon, of
Canon City, as in very good condition for the
elaughter. There were several other men that
might have been put up, as Bela M. Hughes,
their defeated candidate for Governor, and
Hugh Butler, Chairman of the Democratic
State Committee. But they were not bo will-
ing. The Eepublioans decided some days ago,
unanimously, to nominate Jerome B. Chaffee.
It has all along been oonceded by both parties
that he has earned the place by faithful and
valuable services to Colorado, not only when
Delegate in Congress, hut by placing his shoul-
ders to the wheel in helping forward some of
the most important enterprises m the State.
J3at who should be his colleague has been an
open question, and upon this hinges the bitter
fight which to-day was decided in favor of
Henry M. Teller, of Gilpin County. The nomi-
nations of Chafl:ee and Teller will be ratified in
joint session of the Legislature to-morrow, and
the.y be declared elected aa United States Sena-
tors from Colorado.
The nomination of Mr. Teller was not entire-
ly harmonious, but the people* of the State at
large look upon the ohoiee as one eminently fit
to be made. The opposition to him was merely
on the ground of locality. For the last ten
years there haa been a north and a aouth in
Colorado politics. The divide, d' high plateau
reaching out eastward from the mountains near
Pike's Peak, and separating the head-waters of
the Platte from the Arkansas, has been the po-
litical line. In every convention and every Le-
gislature, offices and claims for position have
been parceled out, so mu^h north of tho di-yide,
and so much south of the divide. The old
mountain gold and silver districts have
been reckoned aa a part of the
north. Each of these two sections,
since Statehood first became possible,
from 1864 until now, has haa its standing can-
didates for the big offices so soon as Colorado
should be admitted. The North has always
presented Ex-Gov. Evans, Samuel H. Elbert,
Jerome B. Chaffee, and Henry M. Teller as
their men, and the South haa -with aa surpris-
ing regularity and adherence named George M.
€hiloett, Moaes Hallet, and Lafayette Head.
These are all Republicans. Such a contingency
as Democratic success when it came to battling
under .Statehood has never been seriously en-
tertained, even by the Democrats themselves.
When the Bepublioan State Convention waa
Qalled this Summer, it was decided, as a conces-
sion to the South, to hold it at Pueblo. The
old '59er and Mexican element, down there,
was found, when convention day came, to have
agreed upon nominating Mr. Chilcott lor Gov-
ernor ; or, failing in that, to put up Lafayette
Head, and hold Mr. Chilcott in reserve for a
Senatorship. After a good deal of caucusing,
Chilcott was persuaded that there was some-
thing better in store for him than a Governor-
ship, and. withdrew from the race; while Mr.
Head was appeased with the second place on
the ticket, John L. Routt having, after a sharp
struggle, captured tho first place.
During the campaign, Mr. Chilcott stayed at
home, and his paper, the Pueblo Chieftain,
blowed hot and cold, giving its support to
neither party. On election day Pueblo and
Las Animas Counties, the most populous in
Southern Colorado, and always the most clam-
orous for places, went heavily Democratic.
The Mexican counties were about a stand-off.
The San Juan country, new, and not yet iully
in alliance with tho claims of the South, gave
good Eepubiican majorities. No sooner was
election over and the xjegislature found to be
Republican, than Mr. Chilcott'a paper set up
its demands, in the name of the Souili, that ho
be elected one ot the United States Senators.
The North waa ready to concede the demand
80 far as giving the South one of the Senators
was concerned, but did not regard Mr. Chilcott
as entitled to tho place. They were willing to
support Moaee Hallet, of Pueblo, W. S. Jack-
sou, of Colorado Springs, or W. H. Van Gieson,
of the San Juan country. But Mr. Chilcott
had captui-ed a dozen members of thtj Legisla-
ture; who agreed to stick by him to the laat;
Judge Hallet had nearly as much strength
pledged to him, and Aiessrs. J.ickson and Van
Gieson heid the rest of the Southern vote. All
eflbrts to unite these interests proved unavail-
ing. The Democrats had hopes through the split
to receive the support of one of the Republican
faotions and slip their man in. Bnt the latter
were too wise for such an alliance. Mr. Van Gie-
son withdrew, but that only served to complicate
matters even more, and gave each of tho three
caudidates Irom the south about equal strength.
At length the members from the >iorth gave no-
tice that if the South could not harmonize enough
to agree on a ciiudidate, they should consider
themselves at liberty to go in with the moun-
tain counties which had some claims, and nom-
inate Mr. Teller. The South failed to agree, and
Mr. Teller was chosen.
Thi§ decision' of tho contaat raises a muddle
in Colorado politics which the next two years
may or may not settle. The South threatens
that the Republicans have won their last vic-
tory in that section, and henceforth for all
Democratic purposes it shall be the "solid
South." Mr. Chilcott and his friends,
who have done most to raise this
row, will either go over to the en-
emy or suck their thumbs waiting for something
,,Ala4 ta tank. uo. ., Xha-^Saits JottK <- ooaatrJ^-?riii^
easily blend with the old mountain dlstriotB of
the north, and from this time on it looks aa if
the political division in Colorado were ehanged
to east and west, or mountain and ■ plains.
Looking at it in this light, no serious damage Isi
likely te oom^ from this quarrel. The southern'
oountiea are fast being outstripped in popula-
tion and progresa by the new ' south-
west and the mountains, while the north, <
as heretofore the largest and controll-
ing element, will Btill hold itf« own
aa the East in this new political deal. The re-
sults of the late election show that the South
no longer hold 8 the balance of power. It polled
but 8,000 votes, or with the help of the San
Juan eountrjr. 10,500. The North, without the
mountain districts, showed a voting force of
10,500, while with themit had over 16,000. In the
new eituation tbe mountam districts and San
Juan going togethen have a voting force eqnal
to the South and rapidly increasing, while the
North, without the help of Either, still holds the
power. The North and mountains have thirty-
seven members of the Liogislature in the present
apportionment, and the South thirteen. Of the
twenty-six Democrats in that body the South
furnishes twenty, 3nd tho North six. The
threats of havoc to Bepublioan interests in the
South then do not mean a very great loss of
party strength, and it Is probable that before
another election tho threatening taction vrtll
see its mistake and be found where it belongs.
Jerome B. Chaffee is a Michigan man. He
settled in Colorado in 1860, and has ever since
been largely engaged in minuag and banking.
He was Delegate to Congress from 1871 to 1875.
He wap the conspicuous figure in fighting Mc-
Cook'si confirmation as Governor of Colorado in
1874, and his persistency caused it to hang fire
for six months, when McCook succeeded, by a
close shave. Mr. Chaffee introduced and pushed
through the bill by which the Ute Indian reser-
vation was ceded to the Government, to which
the San Juan mining region, with ita thrifty
settlements and its population of 10,000, owes
its existence. He was the author of the bill
giving the Territories representation in the
Committee on Territories in the lower house of
Congress, by which they obtained a voiee and
influence never before enjoyed. Mr. Chaffy is
about fifty years of age, robust, not a man of
finished education, but praetioal, shrewd, and
sensible. He makes no speeches, but is a per-
sistent worker, and one of t^ most snccsasfal
business men and politicians in the new West
' Henry M. Teller, is, we believe, a native of
New-York, forty-seven years of age, and has
resided in Colorado since 1861. His brother
and law partner, Willard Teller, also a gifted
man, has S3veral times been named for the
United States Senatorship, but now that it's
" all ia the family," will" doubtless be content
to wait his turn. The people well acquainted
with Mr. Teller will coincide with the jtoUow-
ing estimate of the man given by one of the
local papers:
■'Mr. Teller ia a superior lawyer, and a man of
excellent general acqmrements. As a thinker, a
apeaker, and a debater be has prokaoly no equal in
Colorado.: He is a man of high moral character and
of nnsurpasdcd personal dignity and deportment.
He ia calcolated to command respect in all clrclea,
and impresses a stranger upon first sight that be is
no ordinary man."
The Democratic members of the last Congress
are trying to figure out bow much they lost by
voting to admit Colorado as a State. It has
proved the very key to the Presidential con-
test. Had it not been admitted in time to cast
its Electoral votes, Louisiana, Florida, and
South Carolina — all for Hayes — would have
lacked one vote of being enough to elect him,
and had its vote been for Tilden it would have
been decisive of the contest in favor ot the
Democrats. It is not surprising, then,
that the "great party of reform" has
soured on Colorado, and announces its
purpose to quibble a little over the fact that
the Legislature chose the electors, and not the
people by a direct vote, as in other States. This
morning's dispatches from the east names Col-
orado as among the two or three States that
have neglected to make any provision in ease
of the death or disqualification of an elector.
This IS a mistake. The State Legislature, dur-;
ing the first week of its session, enacted a law
concerning Presidential Electors which covers
the whole ground, as the following articlea
show:
"Sec. 7. In case of a -vacaney or vacancies oc-
curring in said Electoral Colleg^ when the same
shall meet, the same shall be filled by a person or
persons, as the case may be, appointed hv tbe Gov-
ernor, Lieutenant Governor, or Speaker of the
House of Representatiyes,^r any two of them, and
immediately upon the apptflntment of such person
or persons, as aforesaid, the meeting of said Electo-
ral College shall take place as above provided, and.
said Electors aliall proceed to give their vote as rs-
quired by law as aforesaid.
Sec. 8. If any one or more of tne Electors ap-
pui^ted in the manner first herein provided shall
fail to appear at the office of the Secretary of State,
as aforesaid, on or beiore 12 o'clock, noon, of the
same day appointed for their meeting, suoh failure
shall csusTirate a vacancy ur vaoanoies, which abail
at once be filled aa above provided."
The three Electors chosen by the Legislature
on Tuesday, Nov. 7, are Herman Beokhnrts,
proprietor of the Denver IHbune ; W. L. Had-
ley, of Georgetown, and Otto Mears, of
Saguache.

FRFAGHT BATES BY WATER.
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser oi tha I4th
Inst. suDplies the following : " Business on the
water route does not show that improvement, as
the close ot navigation approaches, which wasl
anticipated some weeks ago. It was believed that,
nUhongh the Summer was very dull, the rush of
business in the Tall would bring uj) rates to remu-
nerative figures. By lake there has been a trifling
i-nprovement ; but it ia so alight that, nnder any,
other circumstances, it would not be deemed"
worthy of notice. By canal matters seem to grow
worse znateud of belter. The folio-wing statement
shows the average rate on wheat and oorn by lake

that in tho latter part «f the aeaaon, when the'
heaviest business has always been done, there is uoi

of a surplus of tonnage under these circumstances
cannot lail to keep down rates. By canal the boat-,

To give some idea of the abundance of the vlataca
in 1875, we may state that in one of tbe otluB
large and more northern districts of Fraate
some thousands cf hogsheads of wiaa
were recently sold at a price of about thirty wU^
lines for nearly fltty galiona, inolading tlie valM ^
of the cask. Confining oar remarks, liowerei; to fta
M6doc districts and to the class of idnas kaunra ta
Englishmen under the general name of claret, it la
not difficnlt to realize what an important distclal
tbis 18. if we bear in mind that the long trlaognlat
strip of land stretching from Bordeaux on tiie sootla
to Ld Verdun on the north, watered on the east bf
the Garonne and tbe Gironde, and en the westb,y
tbe ARlantic Ocean, comprises in tbe six oantoaai
forming the M6doc a aaperficies of aboai eSS,OO0|
acres, every foot ot which is prolific witn vines aai
the hop gardens of Elent are -with hope, and tack
separate strip of -which is as carefally tended aa
some choice fiower-garden in one of our IBngH^
parks, every acre being a veritable gold mine, ted
each little plot of a few strips of -vines giyins tka
means of livelihood to its poesesaor. ^
We have read lately ^in some Enjj^ishlMHMaa*
good deal on the anbject of the lutifldal coloring of
Prench winea, and have made it our duty tn rwiiaa ,
qaence, in tbe course of recant excnrsiona thwmgfc
toe variona parts of the Uaut and Baa M61oa to &■
stitnte oareftil inquiries on the anbject. As tba
result, we pledge ooraelves to the honesty of tha
foUowing statement — that in no single inatanoe hava
we been able to find a trace of s^cn a practiee^ aaA
that the mysteriuns stranger represented by aoMf i
of your contemporaries as going about from dia*
trict to district with all sorts of e-obtle aa»
trams for improving and increasing the oeler <tf,
wines dehcieut in that respect is^ we b^eva, ai
pure myth, at any rate so far as the kI61oc ia ea«*
earned. This opinion is confirmed by ttaat of oaia
cf the most inflaential brokers of Sardeato^ vfao
assures ns that the practice in qnestioa is nnJcaawa
here. However, as this bngoear of artlflcially-
colored -wines haa bean atart«d. It may aiEand
some consolation to the large and increaalng ciaaa
of claret drinkers to know that while it is iiapoa*
sible to form a tmstworthy opinion at praaaat
npon the cluuracter of tiie wines of the?
M6doc of the 1876 vintage, the generally prevailfauc
opiuion of the district ia that tbe wines are Hm
colori, and have such an amount of aaochaiOBe as ta
gtve reason to hope that they will prove of a foaA
and possibly high character. |
A lew words m eonelaaioD aa to the praapeeti of'
the present year in the white wme districts. Tba >
vintage ha-vtng terminateU in the neighburlUKiJ «<
the Medoc, we availed ooraelves of tbe oppcnrtant^:
to visit some of the more important eetatfla, iaatoft-
log the Ch&teau Yqnem, in the Santarne disuiot.
Here, again, we regretted to find that tba vlataca
is likely to be a small one. The averse qoaattty mi
white wines made la about 15,000 tons aBsoaUy, aad
tbe process an entirelv difierent one. the grapea
being picked singly from tbe bnnehea as tbey be-
come, not to say npe, but pooitively dry ana -witb-
ered, and presenting more the appearance of dziad'
raisins. Both in the case of olareta and Saatemaa.
the process of Biaking the wine is exceedingly sta-
ple, claret being the jaiee of the grapes aliahtiy
pressed and allowed to run, -teeether with tbe fnit
Itself into large vata,. where it remsiaa
tbe neceasary time nntil the fermentation ia oen-
pleted, when the juice is drawn off into hogahoadfc
which are placed in cool, dark stores above groonC
In England, grapea being ancb an expulsive laxaiT,
It ia difficnlt to picture the load after load of. freab-
gathered fruit arriving at the presa-hooaes boor
after hour on long narrow carts drawn by Pftirs at
magnificent oxen, whioh it would do an Xacllsh
butcher'a heart good to look at. The proeeas in
the Sauteme districts is somewhat difierent, tha
grapes, or dried Jrnit, being carefnliy picked one
by one; and for this reason, if the fine weatbas
Ja^ts, the vintage In these districta extends ovsC*:
some weeks, while in iHb event of a wet day tha
labor is suspended until the fruit has again bad
time to become, dry.
We tasted SJme specimens of Sauteme wbiohbad
been made on tbe previous day only, and wbiebkad
a sweet, mawkish taste, resembling in charaotap
the beverage whioh forms a chUd'a idea of wiaa^,
when he takes an orange and squeezes the JoioeiaM*
a wine glass. It seemed scarcely possible to b&A
lieve that this siodest and homely-looking bevaracei
could, in the course of a few years, become tba'
highly prized wine of Cb&teau Coatet or Tqaen.'
It IS a custom with the growers in the Saatoeaa
districts to put their wines into hogsheads {oa-
cisely as they are made, and hence in tasting the
wines of any vintage it is naoal to commeuoe by
first of all tasting the queut, or least valoabMwinaa
of the vintage ; next the tnsembU, or ^eiaca
of tbe year's produce ; and lastly, the UU. or flaeak
specimen of the -wine made. This latter is in
reality more a liqneitr than a wine, excessively laa-
cious, and cloying to the palaie. After ta.stiag tba
firsts and some of the wmes of the second, growtfa,.
we came to the conolnsion that the giowers bava,'
carried this point of sweetness to excess, whieh'
will, no doubt, account for the fact that the qnauti-
ty of Sauteme consumed in England is verv tri-
fling, the greater quantity going to Eassia. Upoa
exoressiug this view to the proprietor of one at the
most inipurtanc vineyards, he inforiped as that ia
the year 1870 be tried the experiment of maklag
his wine in a manner somewhat Bimilar to elara^
gathering the grapes when ripe, and before the^
had become drv and withered. The result waa that:
he made a much larger quanuty of wine during that
year, and of a drier character, resembling the finer;
wines of Germany. We tasted a sample of tbiq
wine, and were so pleased with it that we can com-;
mend the process as worthy pf tbe cousideration o^
other proprietors. " ;
The quantity of the 1876 vintage In the whlt«v arv
well as in the red, wine distncte of Bordeaux wUM
be small this year ; while in 1875, the qoantity wai^
also small and the qnality valued at about half tbai|
of 1874, which waa. as in the Medoc, an exeeptiaa-
ally fine year. Both in the Saaterne and Medoq
districts one is constantly met with tbe puaaUnS!
problem, why vines grown -within a few feet of aaa^
other should vary so much in the value of tbeir p>n»-
duce, that tbe grapes on yonr left hand prodaoia^
Chateau I.afltte, may be worth JE40 pet faogsheaAj
while those immediately ac^oiniug on your rigbj
realise only a fourth or fifth part of that anm. AJodl
vet experience proves that the olassiScatiou oC
these -wines into ' Crus,' or growths, which haa
been admitted foe so many years, is strictly eor)
rect. As an illustration take the wine of the firat
growth 1874 vintage, and compare it with that of aj
fourth or fifth crowth. During the first year or ao
a goodjudsce may, perhaps, not see the wide dtfltew ^
ence which the variation in price demands; but le^
these wines remain for ten, twelve, or fifteen yeara,}
and then the correotnees ol the claaalfloation aaij
sens itself, for while the lower quality will bave^
perhaps, attained its greatest staue of perfectioa,)
or even have commenced to deteriorate, the higho^ .
growth will show, by contrast all the more stroae-,
ly its backbone and breed; and, though the moss
tiioroueh connoisseur will admit that if you give
him a wine oi one of the first growths he might not)
be able to say with certainty that It waa Cbftteaa;
Lafitte, ilargaux. or Latonr, he will teU you tbat»
if yon show him a sample of either^f these threa
wines beside that of one of the same year's vintage
of any of the lower growths, the uninitiated woolof
have no difficulty ia detecting the difference ia
It i3 a frequent complaint that ' in Engl%nd. .oon-
Bumers know so little in regard to the nuHWHT irtj!
production of the various wines they oonsam^aM
are led so much simply by names of distiithi vrn.-

Jess accompanied by a knowledge of the year w'^*

Sroald bebaye well in a hnrrioane; if this was
meant as a hint of what waa coming, it was not

I moderate, the ship performed well, heading up to
within three points of ibe wind, and in tbe oabina
we were all doing first rate. But on the Slst,
«t tbe beginning, tbe wind . rapidly moaer-'
ated, the sea ran hisher, and the labor
of the ahip increased; she gave frequent

ward us, strike the noble old sbip and bear her
<down to 47°, but she would come up with a shake
■all ready for the next one. la the violent crosj-
'sM, solid water came over the bows and sides,
some of it finding its way into the cabins, adding
to the alarm of the nasaengers. Xfae hull re-
mained as tight as a bottle, aud the engines coa-
tlnnea to perform their work without intermission.
The smoke-stack gays on tbe port side gave way,
and it surged as though it were going ovetboard;

lt» lessen the laboring, the ship was beaded north*
^orth-west. She at once beeame comparatively

[made for the next blast.
UTba passengers conducted themselves as well aa

.'lightened ; some, believing that tbeir honr bad
«eme, prayed aloud to tbeir saints, and 10 the Holy
fVirgln for mercy. Men were seen making tbe sign
oCtne eroas, kissing each other, and holding fast in
a tight embrace; others wore life-preaervers — all
thit in spite of the reasshrlng words of the
offloers. Xhs ladies were far f better than
tile man. . They were easily I-, kept under
oontrol. In tbs steerage,- unhappily,
things were worse; in the absence of permanent
bertha and bulk-heads near to each other, there was
the greater room for the inexperienced to fall and
shde. One imiortnnate woman met with such vio-
ieaee that she died in a little while; another one
had her collar-bone broken, and a man bad bis leg
fractured, besides many who were badly but not
dangerously braised. , Black eyes were seen
eonspicuously after ^It wassail over. Only
one person in the cabin, a lady, appeared
with a bandaged head the next day; she had a

A gemtleman writing from Gastonia, N. C,

flesh — ^genuine, tinmistakable flesh — fell in sight of
fiastoala, Claston County, on the farm of Kr. James
M. Hanna. The eiroumstaaoes, so far as they can
be gathered &om the letter alladed to, and from
«h« statement of , Mr. d. "W. Chalk, of \ this
Mty, irho ylsited the i spbt ;, and heard \ the

l^tbecaootu about- '3 ^ o'clock, while Mr.
(Tames 1£ Hanna and some of his little grand-
eUdxeii Were picking cotton m a field near his
use, they were astonished at the sighc of small
Ideees of flesh falling all arounA them. Tbe
Shower CoQtiaued for some titne, and when it ceased
k waa disdovered that the fl6sh was soattered over
liB area of about half an acre of ground. The pieces
Taxied from a half oanoe to an ounce in weight. In
it&e words of oUr correspondent, " the ground was
WA coyered, bat the flesh fell like light hail." In

firfeetly calm at the time of the shower, and that

Mval of Italy had a no less splendid fsture in

Weald be aulgnsd to Brindisl as the great mart of

icd cannot compare Its present state with what it
was fifteen years ago, when it was rescaed from

. can peroeive at a alanee. The harbor is not large,
pat well sheltered, and almost land-looked, aud
Ifiroad aud handsome quays have been or are even
How being made all around, With stii&clent depth of

PeainAolar and Oriental Company to moor close

somo are of large tonnage, the greatest numoer be-
ing English or Anstrian. I walked in and aboat

Btrada Maestra and the more spacious Strada
*Amena were swept clean>-oleaner than many of
those of other Italian towns. In some of the squalid
homefs and alleys abutting to those thorough-
fores the filth was truly horrible, and it gives
too sure evldsnce that reform in Italy in those
Nspeots has not reached far beneath the

GOLDfTIELD OF CALIFORNIA.
STATISTICS JOB , TH^ ' PBKSENT '• TBAB — AN
AGGREOATB OB' i ABOUT TWENTY ^MIL-'
110JS3.
From the San Franeiseo AUa, Nov. 6.
The gold yield of California this /year "Will'
probably be aboat $20,000,000, or as much as it was'
in 1875. Of this, two-tbirds may come from placer'
olalms, and the remainder front qtiarta. - The greater
part of the placer gold Is obtained by bydraulio
claims in the channels of dead rivers, with deposits
of auriferous gravel several hundred feet deep and
a quarter or a half-mile wide. Although many
aotes of deep gravel beds have been washed away
to the bed-rook, large areas remain, and psomlse to
yield a good profit for many jears to come, though
the prodnot will doubtless decrease gradually. Tbe
placer micisg camps which have no bydraulio
washings arO steadily declining, if they have not
already disappeared, or U they have not some other;
resource. The placer workings of Tuba, Shasta,
Tuolumne, and Uariposa Counties amount now to;
little; in Plumas they ate nearly as productive 'as
ever.
The gold-quartz mining industry of Califotni a isj,
stationary in its general character. A large num-',
her of auriferous lodes, and even of mines partly!
opened, are neglected because the erosa average '-
j'leldperton will not. exceed flO, and that .figure!
does not, in most cases, leave any profit ; though la:
Aastrali», where labor costs half as much and sup-'
plies are cheaper, many quartz mines are kept eo-'
Ing for a gross yield of $5 per ton. In the Colony of
Victoria, which bas for twenty-five years produced
and now euntinues to produce about as
Bueh gold as . California, two-thirds of tbe
precious metal comes from quartz and
only one-third from placer mines, while here
the proportion is reversed. How much quartz gold
our State could produce if labor could be bad at the
saoie rates as in Anstralia 1* a matter of conjecture.
Some intelligent miners say five times as much, tt
quaitz could be extracted and reduced for $S per
ton, work would soon be commenced on hundreds of
mines to find oat whether they could not be made
to pay. !For every gold-quartz mine now worked in
California there are not less than twenty — perhaps
fifty — claims held in the hope that they can be made
profitable in the future.
The yield of the gold mines genemlly, unlike
that of the silver mines, is not publislved regularly.
Tbe latter are owned by companies ii](corporatea in
Snn Francisco ; reports must be given to the nu-
merous stockholders through tbe presft and as tbe
treasure is cast into heavy bars, the transportation
of which is notorous in the neighborhcbd, there is
no motive for concealment, Many^f tne gold
mines are worked on a small scale, sometimes by
two or three men. I'ew of them are incorporated
in San Francisco ; the stockholders are usually
few, and live at the mine ; tbey can get information
by letter or orally, and as the treastire is much
more attractive to robbers than silver, tbe mana-
gers try to keep the amount of production and the
times of shipment secret. These are some of the
reasons why less information is given in tbe news-
papers about tbe gold mines in California than
aboat the silver mines of Nevada. In reference to
a number of the most productive quartz mines of
California it is impossible to get intormation for
pubhcation.
The Idaho, at Grass Valley, continues to be
worked with much profit, and has yielded altogeth-
er more than $4,000,000. It is on the pay chute
which paid very rich tribute to the Eureka Compa-
ny for years. About fifteen years ago the most
profitable quariz-mine in the Stat^ was the Allison,
near Grass Valloy, and wonders were told of the
ncbness of tbe rook and of tbe men deriving prince-
ly incomes from it. They worked the pay chute,
out to tbe end of the olaim, and now, after the vein
has been unproductive for ten years, the same
pay chute has been found dipping down iuto
the adiacent claim of the Allison Extension,
and it will probably, within a year or two, be
as good proper^ as the original Allison was.
The silver yield of Keyada has been larger this
year than ever before. Tne Consolidated Virginia
has continued to pay its monthly dividend of
$1,080,000. com&ienced iu Februarj, 1875, and in
Kay, 1S76, its companion mine, the Calitornia, be-
gan to reward its stockholders at the same liberal
rate; the two now yield $25,000,000 net, and $37,000,-
000 gross, a year, and most of the former sum goes
directly into the pocketsot' tbe San Francisco stock-
holders. It IS asserted by persons snpposod to
have good sources of informatiooi that a large body
of very rich ore has ot late been found in the lower
levels of the Consolidated Virginia, and that it ex-
tends into the adjacent Best and Belcher mine. If
this be true this bonanza will, at no distant time,^
pay.dividenda to three companies at least, possibly
to more.
Tbe opening of a large body of ore in the Justice
indicates , tbe situation of the lode south of the
Overman— a point about whieh there was previous-
ly much doubt — and other discoveries, whiapered
about in confidence, if correct, will show that tbe
rich portion of the lode extends considerably be-
yond the Ophir on the north and the Belcher on the
Boatb, and raise the hope that other bonanzas will
come into competition with the ore now worked in
the limits of Virginia City.
The mining districts of ^N'evada generally, with
the exception of the Comstock Lode, are under a
oload. Eureka has probably not produced one-third
so much bullion in the first ten months of 1876 as
in the corresponding period of 1875. The dechne
in tbe price of silver, a strike among the mlBers,
the exhaustion of tbe rich ore-bodies in some of the
mines, and the Increasing cost of charcoal on ac-
count of the acaroity of wood, contributed to the
stoppage of work. White Pino and Pioche have
not recovered from the> prostration whioh struck
them in previoas years.

^ '■ A QUAINT OITIO CUSTOM.
, At 2 o'clock, Tuesday, accordiug to usage, the
Secondary of the City of London, with Mr. Nelson,
the City Solicitor, and other civic dignitaries, at-
tended before the Qaeen's Be'membrancer, at his
office in Chancery lane, prepared with tbe uaual
Warrants, one being for the late Sheriffs' appearance
to account, and the other appointing the attorneys
to acconnt on behalf of the late Sheriffs, which Mr.
Secondary read, and then requ,e3ted that tbe war-
rants be nled and recorded. The Qaoon's Bemem-
brancer then ordered that the warrants be filed and
recorded; and that done, proclamation was made
according to custom, in the ioUowing terms:
" Tenants and occupiers of a piece of waste
ground called ' The Moors,' in the County of
Salop, come torth and do your service." The City
Solicitor then cut one fagot with a hatchet and
another with a bill-hook. That done, further proola-
mation was next made as follows : " Tenants and
occupiers of a cectaiu tenement called ' Tbe
Forge,' in the Parish of St. Clement Danes, in tbe
County of Middlesex, corae forth and do your
service." Then the City Solicitor counted six
horse-shoes and sixty-one nails, tbe Qaeen's Ke-
membrsncer, as usual at the conclusion of the cere-
mony, saying " Good number." With that this
qnaint proceeding, which has been annually ob-
served since a time long beyond tbe memory of
man, was brought to an end, and the civic authori-
ties took tkeir leave.

, THB PBOSECVIION OF GALILEO.
A COPY OF THB OKIGINAL DOCUMENTS PUB-
LISHED—HOW ^ THE t ASTRONOMER WAS
FIRST ATTACKED— HIS APPEARANCE BE-
FORE THE DERADED INQUISITION.
■• The Pairis - correspondent of the Scotsman
'writes : " By the treaty of Campo Formio, or in fact
before the treaty was signed, Xapoleon Bonaparte
forced the Pope - to accord him aboat £1,000,000,
100 pictures, . and 500 manuscripts. * Among the
manuscripts ' carried off was the ' Prosecution of
Galileo,' which, after the removal from the Vatican
to Paris, was pronounced by the historian Benina
as without Importance. Notwithstanding this. Na-
poleon ordered its translation, but, strange to say.
the translation was never completed. During the
first years of the restoration active negotia-
tions were carried on with the . view of
getting the French King to restore ■ the manu-
Boript in _ question, but his most ^ Christian
could per
. but his
Majesty refused. The Court of Rome
enade neither liouls XVXTL, the sceptic, nor Charles
X., the despot, to part wl(ji tbe spoil which had
been seized by Bonaparte, notwithstanding the
ulterior pains and penalties attaching to the crime
of keepine back Church property. But what was
refused by the Bourboas was accorded by Louis
Philippe, and tbe manuscript, -. after remaining in
France about half a century, was sent back to
Rome, and was handed by the unfortunate Rossi to
Pins Ninth. It was at once restorea to tbe secret
archives of the Vatican. A short time ago, to the
astonishment of the world, Dsmioio Bertl was per-
mitted to take a copy ot the origisal documents,
and these he has last published. .a.nd most Interest-
ing is the account Which the Italian writer gives
of 'starry Galileo an(\ his woes,' of his talent,
his grace, aud his wit, 'and how he was fdted and
caressed at Rome and Florence until he began to
speak of the system of Copernicus, and to demon-
strate the movement of tbe earth. His discovery
of the satellites of Jupiter had been hailed with de-
light, but the inference their movements sug-
grested eau<?ed bis perdition. The astronomer was
first attacked by a Dominican preacher at Florence,
who accused him of throwing doabt ou the authen-
ticltv of the miracle performed by Joshua. Galileo
replied that the Holy Scriptures could
not err, bat that they should not be literally
interpreted. Another J3ommicaii, called Nicholas
Lorini, then denouneed Galileo to the Holy
Office, and the closest wateh was kept on
his words and acts by the Inquisition. He went to
Rome in tbe hope of being able to prove his inno-
cence, and of being allowed to continue his pursuits
without interference. The Holy Office, however,
unanimously Ueclared it to be an absurd heresy to
pretend that the sun is motionless and that the
earth turns, and tbe Pope diracted Cardinal Bell-
armini to inform Galileo that he must no more
teach the doctrine condemned or he would be
thrown into prison. Galileo promised to obey. He
was received by the Pope, and was treated with
kindness. He was neither punished nor molested.
Not long after this anewPontiff was elected — Urban
VIII., of the house of Barbarini. He was a Floren-
tine as well as Gahleo, and a lover of letters.
Galileo had six long audiences with the Pope, but
what passed between them is not known. The
astronomer now thought himself at liberty to write
his dialogues, in which the system of Copernicus,
without being defendeo, was expounded. The
Pontiff had no sooner received a copy of this work
than he showed bimself violeatly irritated, and but
for the supplications of the Tuscan Ambassador he
would have at once sent him before the Holy Office.
As it was, a commission was charged to examine
the "Dialogues," and shortly afterward the In-
quisitor of Florence delivered Galileo a formal
order to anpear before the dreaded tribunal al-
luded to above. Galileo, who was then seventy
years ef age, and ill, implored pity. The Grand
Duke of Tuscany interceded in bis behalf. The Pope
would hear of no delay. He gave orders that the
culprit should be seized and brought to Some in
chains if' he was able to support the journey.
Galileo, half dead, reached Rome in January, 1633,
and in April be was interrogatea by the Holy Office.
For ten months he supported, in anguish of mind,
the threats antt ill-treatment to which he was sub-
jected, au'l tben he contessed that he bad gone too
far in advocating the system of Copernicus. Ho was
called upon to give a more explicit denial ot tbe
truth ot what he had advanced, or the Judges were
to proceed to a rigorous examination, which, in the
language of the Holy Oiflce, means "torture."
It is urged, but not oy Signer Bertl, that Galileo
was actually tortured, and that tbe documient giv-
ing a description of this scene was sunpressed at
the suggestion of M. Guizot, (a Protestant,) and
Rossi. On the other band, it ia asserted that when
the Pope directed a rigorous examination, if it
could be supported, he knew very well that Galileo
could not support torture, and that torture would
not be inflicted. It is clear, however, from what
SigDor Bertl savs, that the Pontiff showed neither
compassion nor indulgence toward bis old friend.
Even after bis abjuration, Galileo was kept in a
state of seml-conflnemeut, and was only permitted
to see a few friends. He went blind — then died.

decrease, 2,079,584 tons."
A WITNESS DVMBFOVNDED.
The Harttord Post of the 16fch inst. says : "A
singular incident occurred in the Superior Court-
room to-day, illustrating how a witness nay some-
times be mistaken. Tbe Starkweather appeal from
the Probate Court of Windsor was on trial, and a
lady who wss called as a witness testified in a very
positive manner to certain events occurring on cer-
tain days in 1865, ot which she had personal knowl-
edge. While giving her testimony she produced a
pocket diary and read- entries purpoiting to have
been made in the Spring of 1865, and which she pre-
sented as proof that she was correct in her asser-
tions'. She sail she was confident that the entries
were made on the dates of tne occurrence ot the
events, but was taken completely aback when Mr.
Hyde, counsel for the other side, turned to the front
of the diiry aud showed that it was an 1868 diary,
and had not been printed until three years after the
witness said she had made the entries therein.
After this the witness waa somewhat less confident
as to the correctness of her otber assertions."

mip Ltmt, of Newburvport, has a oat of great sa ;
gaoity. A few days'sinoa a mouse-trap bad been,
set in the store closet behind a fionr-barrel, which j
had sprung upon a mouse. The cat observing this'
took tbe trap in her mouth aud passed into tbe eel
lar, where Mrs. Lnnt was engaged, and laid it at
her teet. She opened the trap and gave the mouse
to the eat, who soon flnisbea it, and then took up
the trap, as before, and placed ic where she took
,it from, aud qoletly awaited for it to be re-set."

&U&AR FOB A NEWFOUNDLAND DOG.
Under the pressure of hard times the keeper
of a Paris oaf6 has hit upon an ingenious device for
reducing the cost of his establisbment. He keeps a
fine Newfoundland dog, which is a great pet
with .frequenters ot the house, and from
every con^nmer of coffee contrives to ex-
tract at least ene lump of sugar per diem,
insomuch that men have marveled how a dog
could eat so much sugar without being very sick.
The secret is this : The dog baa been taught to
take the sugar back to the store-room, and there de-
posit it in a large basin, whence it is again taken
for the supply of other customers, the dog himself
receiving a eommlSBlon of ten per cent. A gobd
many Frenchmen have a bad habit ot pocketing all
the sugar that is served to them, and of wtiich they
have no immediate need for the purpose of sweeten-
ing their coffee. The proprietor of the caf6 must,
therefore, be considered to have acted purely in
.self-det'euse.

ALARM OF THE COLORED PEOPLE.
The Charleston (8. C.) News of Monday has
this snggeative statement iu its local columns :
"Considerable excitement occurred in the colored
church in Calhoun street last night, well-nigh
causing a stampede of the congregation. It aU
grew out of the fact that a few white men, prompt-
ed by curiosity, entered the church to see the
.method ot conducting the exercises by ''an ex-
clusively colored congregation. As soon as their
presence was observed tbe women became excited,
and communicated their feelings to the men. The
officiating preacher, Eey. Mr. Saltus, ceased preach-
ing and dismissed the congregation. They seemed
impressed with tbe idea that the white men had
entered the church with tbe design of doinz them
barm. One colored woman declared that " the day
of judgment for the colored race hadecome," and be-
baved as though she had last her senses. Many
others were greatly alarmed. The whole affair
was a downright piece -ef folly, without cause or
excusef*'

A Providence paper says: "The Springfield
armorers at Providence are all out of work now, '
the Providence Tool Company bavins closed its
^shops Saturday, with the exception of a single de-
'partment where a few bayonets are being finished.
The suspension of work grows out of the failure of
the Turkish Government 'tb' pay for tbe guns al-

The money market worked smoothly with
3®4 ^ cent., for call loans. Discounts were
quoted at 5® 6 ^ cent., prime paper being
rather scarce.
The foreign advices reported a lower market
for British Consols and Continental
securities, the decline being caused
by the menacing attitude assumed -by
the Russian Government. United States Bonds
were firm on a merely fractional decline. The
Bank of England lost £799,000 en balance for
the week ending Thursday last. The minimum
rate of discount remams unchanged at 2 ^ cent.
Notwithstanding the election excitement and
the imminent prospects of a European war, the
gold market was entirely free from disturb-
ance, and the daily fluctuations in the price of
gold unimportant.
The Sterling Exchange market wag without
significant feature. There was a fair demand
occasioned by the importations ot called bonds,
and rates were advanced a fraetion. The mar-
ket closed steady, with business at $4 81% ®
$4 82 tor bankers' long and $4 83^ for demand
sterling.
The Government bond market was charao-
terizd by a firm undertone, and prices were
well sustained, although the changes were not
especially important. The political excite-
ment has checked operations in this depart-
ment to some extent, but toward the close of
the week the demand increased. In railroad
mortgages there was a large business, and
some wide fluctuations took place. Ohio and
Mississippi Consolidated tell off from 77
to 75, rose to 85, and closed at 78; do. Sink-
ing Funds declined from 80 to 78, rose to 86,
and finally reacted to 80 ; do, Seconds declined
from 45 to 41, and closed at 42. The New-
Jersey Central, Milwaukee and St. Paul, and
Chicago and North-western issues declined ^fe
to 2 per cent., but subsequently made a partial
recovery. Toledo and Wabash Firsts advanced
from 93' to 99^6, and latter sold at 97 "A. The
other Toledo and Wabash issues were strong,
the St. Louis Division rising from 70 to 72,
Seconds from 66 to 69 "li, and Consolidated Con-
vertible from 49 to 50V&. State Bonds were
lower on a very moderate business.
The share epeculation was, to some extent,
adversely aflfected early in the week by the ap-
prehension of political troubles growing out of
the rash utterancas of some ot the Democratic
Organs, but toward the close a feeling of con-
fidence generally prevailed, and oonsgryative
business men i^re almost unanimous in assert-
ing that the deeision of the Returning Boards
in the doubtfiil States would be quietly acqui-
esced in by the country, and that tears of vio-
lent or revolutionary proceedings were ground-
less.
The most notaworthy events of the week
were the notice sent by the St. Paul Company
to the authorities of the Stock Exchange an-
nouncing that in future they intended to cease
furnishing reports of earnings, and the ap-
pointment of a Receiver for the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Railroad Company, whioh, it is stated,
is hopelessly bankrupt. The action of the Di-.
rectors of the St. Paul Company, coupled with
a stili further falling off in earnings, caused a
serious decline in the price of both the common
and preferred stocfc. ^
In the late dealings there was a partial re-
ooverT in the shares, in sympathy with the
strength developed by the North-western
stocks. Reports emanating from semi-official
80Ut6es show tbe North-western Company to
be in an exceptionally good financial condition.
The net earnings for the six months ending
Nov. 30, 1875, were $880,000 ; for the four
months ending Sent. 30, 1876, the net earnings
were $31,000 in excess of the first four months
of the corresponding half year of 1875. The
gross receipts for October, 1876, were over
$1,530,000 on all the property, and the net
earnings tor that month are estimated at $375,-
000. The company already has m hand "over
$1,250,000 cash, this being sufBcient to pay all
interest charges up to and including Feb. 1,
1877, besides paying a dividend on the pre-
ferred stock. Reports continue to be circu-
lated that some of the coal companies are in
financial embarrassment.andthestocks of these
corporations were rather weak, with the ex-
ception of New-Jersey Central, whioh rose to
34V<8 and closed at 34. Western Union fluctuated
between 73 and 71%, closing at 72. Lake Shore,
which was by far tbe most active stock, rose
from 54^6 to 56%, with closing transactions at
56%. Illinois Central was at intervals freely
pressed for sale, and declined to 7414. Alv
though the market was somewhat irregular, at
the close several stoeks showed ' evidences of
strength.

t "H ixow depends on the action of the Su-
preoQe Court whether Wade Hampton shall
'ta]ce the Ctovemor's seat in South Caroliiia,
byrirtue of the gross oppression in Edge-
field, or whether Sir. Chambbblaix shall
keep that seat bj rirtne of a lar£;e majority
of bosest votes. It is cnrions to note, too,
that this decision rests with Judge Mosks,
;who is said to baye been rendered hostile to
€k>T. CHAKBBBI.AIM by the action of the
Batter in keeping the Judge's son — the
I** Scoundrel Governor" — off the bench of
rtihe Supreme Court. When the Governor
"did this the Democrats were greatly pleased,
but they will not hesitate to accept any ad-
Vantage they can gain firom the resentment
■anmsed by an act of official virtue. Such
lb the " chivalry " of the South Carolina
Sefntleman of the modem kind. In its es-
sence tt is ) meaner than the meanness
pT the most sordid tradesmen. Happily, the
teleetoial ticket is beyond the jnrisdic-
lioii of : the cotirt. The Legislature, how-
mvet, will be Democratic unless the canvaas-
■rs at<e allowed to guide their action by
such Evidence as they have heretofore con-
■idared without objection. In that case,
there is small hope that Gov. Chahbkrlajn
win. be allowed to make a cohtest — a
privilege which it is in the power of the
Legislature to grant or withhold. On the
' rhole, the pretension of the Democrats to
l»o the only ones who seek after an honest
election is not sustained by the facts.
£f Connecticut were as remote from the
iiead-qaartersof the Tilden party as Florida
is, and had^^ gone Bepublican, we should
jprobably hear some firantic howls about
trazid. As it is, the Democrats calmly
jpocket the electoral vote of Connecticut
jand keep very still about it. The total
'Vote of that State, in 1875, was a little over
one hundred thoasand. This was com-
fxnented upon at the time as a most
finspiciooB circumstance. It was not
thought possible that an honest vote
•honldlbe so large. But a Democratic Legis-
lature had just passed an election law which
madet fraud o» the ballot-box safe and easy.
It pxepared the way for more such political
phcrnomena this year ; the total vote at
the November election was 121,798. People
apa very naturally asking where this
ejiormousinorease comes from. The State is
tm the hands of the Democracy, but the new-
Iv-elected Legislature is Bepublican. It is
likely that a stringent and effective registry
law win now be enacted, and the Democratic
vote will surely suffer a considerable shrink-
age.
One of onr correspondents very fairly
calls the vote of Mississipi^i a " bauditti
vote." His reasons for applying this epithet
are certainly oonolnsive. They are enough
to convince any impaftial man that tlie
Presidential election in Mississippi was a
farce, and that the vote of that State has
no moral or political significance whatever.
It was obtained by a system of intimida-
tion and terrorism which destroyed tie
suffrages of the colored people. Tiiey did
not vote. Ballot's Trero not allowed to bo
distributed to them. This was openly
admitted by Mississippi papers when it was
thought that Tildejt was elected. During
that brief interval the Meridian Mercury,
referring to the election in Arteaia, Meridian
County, Miss., said that some of the negroes
secured Bepublican votes and " stuck them
dowH deep into their pockets, and held them
with a grip." They did not dare to show
them. The same paper adds : ''It is not
certainly known what white man distributed
the tickets among them, but it was doue
clandestinely." And the Democrats whine
about " a popular vote " for Tllden. A pop-
ular vote in a State where a Democratic
reign of terror compels a clandestine distri-
bution of Bepublicau votes !
A remarkable instance of the tricks to
which some ot the boldest of Mr. Tilden's
supporters are ready to resort, will be found
recited in our New-Orleans dispatches this
morning. It is unnecessary to infer that the
more honorable of the Democratic leaders
would descend to such tactics; but -that
those who have, in the campaign, repre-
sented Mr. Tilden in a peculiarly confiden-
tial relation are quite capable of trading the
Governorship of Loiusiana for the Presiden-
tial vote ot that State, no one who knows
them will doubt.
It ii^said that the well-known CasteUani
collection of objects of art, shown at the
Centennial Exposition, has been disposed
o£ We are not aware that any proposition
to<»ecur« this unique museum for this City
was ever serieusly entertained. It Is a
matter for genuine regret that a collection
of SO much value, and so useful in art educa-
tion, could not have a permanent establish-
tuent in New- York. It seems too much,
however, to expect that this City shmild be
an art ceatre as^ well as a commercial Me-
tropolis. Just now, we are glad to say,
there is an opportunity to remedy the
«rrfr ' committed in losing the col-
Heortion of Signer Castellani. It will be
seen from the card of the Trustees of the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, published in
another column, that $20,000 has been sub-
Boribed toward the purchase of the antiques
found by Gen. Cbsnola in the treasure
chambers of the Temple of Kurium, near
■ liie site of ancient Faphos, on the Island of
Cyprus. These objects are 1,500 in number.
They consist of gems and articles in gold,
■ilver, bronze, alabaster, and copper. The
Bum needed for the purchase is $60,000, gold,
: of which $40,000 must be speedily raised, if
^ the coUaotlon is to be secured for New-York,
M th«> Britisk Museum has made an offer
appointed course; the American people
would not consent that their affairs should
be disordered, or their good name discred-
ited, by one of these pieces of folly any
more than by the other.
Whether assumptions of this kind can
work serious evils or not, depends on the
temper and wisdom of the public, and on
the fiirmness with which they are met.
They are of the same order as the flimsy
pretensions by which South American Bo-
publics have often been convulsed, and if
onr people were as hot-blooded, as silly,
and as idle as tho^e of the poorer South
American -Kepublics, we should run the
same risk. But onr people have too much
else to do, and too much at stake, to follow
the empty cry of demagogues calling them
to back up, with violence, claims which de-
rive their whole force fromthe greed of those
who make them.
VSVBPATION BY TECHNICALITY.
There is a growing tendency among
American politicians to lay great stress on
technicalities, to quarrel over the form when
they have failed to secure the substance.
Often this tendency leads to downright
usurpation, and it has several tiines threat-
ened the peace of various communities. A
few years since the State of New-Hampshire
—one of the most sober and sensible States
in the Union — ^was for a number of days
violently disturbed by a dispute over an
election in which the result depended on
whether the misspelling of a candidate's
name rendered the votes cast for him
void. Hot-headed men were found ready
to declare that, as the law was somewhat
vague on the point and the authorities re-
sorted to differed, the dispute could only be
settled by force. Not very long ago the
State of New-York came near being without
representation in the United States Senate,
through the refusal <rf one-half of the lower
House to organize that body in time for the
joint ballot on the appointed day. Every
one remembers the long and disgraceful
squabble in Alabama between the "Court-
house Legislature" and the " Capitol
Legislature," which turned on the au-
thority to be derived by a legislative body
from its happening to meet in the place ap-
pointed by law. Equally notorious were
the trou^jles in Louisiana, which Congress
gave up trying to unravel, in which one
Governor and Legislature were elected on
returns which were not counted by a board
having authority, and the other Governor
and Legislature received credentials from a
board which had the right to count the re-
ttims, but had no returns to count.
These, and many other instances which
wiU occur to our readers, illustrate the de-
parture we have made from the simplicity
and sincerity of the earlier days, and from
that frank good-faith which is essential to
the proper working of representative gov-
ernment. When a question arises as to the
result of any substantial act in the process
of government, it ought to be settled by
fair and calm reference to the controlling
facts in the case. Instead of this, it is too
often found that partisans cling to every ad-
vantage which the mere form of law gives,
however slender the basis of justice which
underlies' it. But the evil was never
so clearly brought before the public, and
the consequences which may arise from it
were never so grave as at the present rao-
jment, when a number, of the Democratic
journals are urging the leaders of their
party to undertake a contest concerning
the Presidency by a course of action which,
on the frailest thread of legality, hangs an
actual and great usurpation. The Consti-
tution requires that the certificates sent by
the Electors in the various States, as to their
votes for President and Vice President,
shall be opened by the President of the
Senate "in the presence of the Senate and
House of Eepresentatives." It is now as-
sumed by the Democratic writers that these
certificates cannot be opened unless the
House is present, and this view is techni-
cally sustained by the ConstitutioA. But
it is further urged that if the certificates
are not so opened, there is a failure on the
part of each candidate to receive a majority
of the votes, and the election goes to the
House. In other words, the House by re-
fusing to perform its plain duty in meeting
with the Senate, will gain the power of
choosing the President. A principle of this
kind is so fatal to the administration of
justice, and so destructive of all equality of
rights under the law, that it has been
distinctly condemned by the well-
known maxim that no -- one can
be allowed to profit by his own wrong. It
is as clear as sunlight that the Constitution,
gave no discretion to the House regarding
its presence, and if was never intended that
it should derive, from an obstinate refusal
to be present, any power whatever in the
premises. Power over such important mat-
ters was not conferred in such a roundabout
manner. It would be as reasonable to say
that because the Constitution says that the
certificates shall be opened by the President
of the Senate, that officer, by refusing to
open them, has the right to prevent their
being counted. He would plainly have the
physical power to so retuse, as the House
has the physical power to stay away from
its chamber when the certificates are
opened. Probably, too, there would be
found no distinctly defined means of com-
pelling either the President of the Senate or
the House of Eepresentatives to the per-
formance of a well-ascertained duty. But
nothing is more certain than that the Gov-
b.«ciua«at, WQuld.JEO on. in eithar case, xa its
MB. MARTIN AND THE PARKS.
Mr. Maktix is playing a very bold game,
and that too, not only at tbC'Cxpense of the
tax-payers of this City, but at the ex-
pense of the working men and main-
teuance-force employed on the Park,
two hundred and fifty of whom have
been recently discharged because the ap-
propriation for the maintenance depart-
ment is exhausted. We eharee that this
state of affairs has been knowingly and pur-
posely brought about with the view of en-
listing the sympathies of the public in be-
half of Mr. Maktin's ingenious scheme to
divert the balance of the unexpended ap-
propriations for Police, for the Harlem
bridge, and for the Bronx Elver bridge,
amounting in the aggiegate to $45,000, from
their original destination to the exhausted
maintenance fund. The public, moreover,
should distinctly understand that the
funds proposed to be thus diverted from
their original uses will should Mr. Mar-
Ti.M successfully carry out his little game
— have to be replaced next year. The
idea is ingenious, but not novel. Oat
of the very liberal appropriation made last
year by the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment for the repairs of the Harlem and
Bronx Eiver bridges, but a- few dollars were
spent for the work designated; it was di-
verted to other uses.
The appointment of a man like Mr. Mar-
tin as President of the Park Commission
was a public calamity to the people of this
City. He has been connected with too
many schemes of doubtful expediency, to
say the least — all resulting in the depiction
of the City Treasury — to make him a desir-
able public servant in ■ any Municipal
office. Under Mr. Martin's Presidency,
it is openly said that the Park De-
partment has become an asylum for
worthless politicians. While the other City
departments are paying $1 60 per day for
labor, the Park Department still continues
to pay $2. Meanwhile, outside builders and
contractors are paying from $1 25 to $1 50
per day.
The amount appropriated by the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment for the main-
tenance of parks during the current year
was ample and abundantly Bufficient to
have kept them in' proper order if judi-
ciously applied. The salaries paid employes
in the Department of Public Parks are still
maintained at high rates — in many cases the
places are sinecures, given solely as rewards
for political services ; these offices could be
abolished without detriment to the
parks, and with profit to the Treasury.
The public sentiment is with the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment
in this matter. Mr. Martin's action in con-
nection with the so-called improvement of
Tompkins Park, is still fresh in the minds
of an outraged community. Nor have the
people forgotten the "organized" labor
demonstrations gotten up not so very long
ago, for the purpose of creating pohtieal
capital Snd inflnancing the action of certain
heads of City departments. These demon-
strations were characterized by the almost
total absence of real working men ; they
were the result of secret machinations
of political tricksters, and had for ultimate
object the depletion of the City Treasury.
The entire amount appropriated to the De-
partment of Public Pa^ks for 1876 wa8|495,-
000 ; $100,000 of which was appropriated for
the maintenance of Parks and Museums.
For the year 1877, the department over
which Mr. Mahtin presides had the courage
to demand $730,400. The Board of Esti-
mate and Apportionment thought the de-
mand exorbitant. In its provisional esti-
mate it appropriates $385,000, just $346,400
less than was demanded. As far as the
public interests are concerned, Mr Martin
has long since exhausted his usefulness as
President of the Park Commission. If he
could be discharged or suspended, in as sum-
mary a manner as he has discharged or sus-
pended some two hundred and fifty Park
employes, the people of this City would
cheerfully welcome his retuiTi to private
life, and our public parks would be relieved
from a fatal incubus. Never before have
the parks been so ill managed, so badly
administered, so sadly neglected as under
Mr. Martin's Presidency.
This last move is, however, the most au-

BIG HER EDUCATIOS FOB WOMEN.
Fromthe interesting communication which
appeared in our columns of Saturday, from
an expert in the matter, upon '' the higher
education of women," one important con-
sideration was omitted. It is not as yet
certain what the " higher education " is
which is needed for women. It is ob-
vioualv not altogether the same as is de-
manded for men. Certain pow erful influ-
ences will always control or prescribe its
conditions. Woman's career is not the same
as man's; her physical powers are not equal
to his, her inherited capacities are dissimi-
lar, and possibly her mental bent is quite
different. All this has to be considered in
planning woman's future mental train-
ing. Our correspondent alludes to a com-
parative indifference Sf oui' moat cul-
tivated classes to the ••'' women's col-
l&sa&.'l in America, ai^d apnarentl^ a^->
tributes this feeling to the want
of the necessary culture. We do nbt thus
explain it. The great object with cultivated
people in their daughters' training, is to fit
them for what is the highest field of wo-
man's influence in modern times— the life
of society, and with that for their best
" vocation " — that of wives and mothers in
homes. For these purposes, the first and
most important thing is a habit of inter-
course with gentle-people, and the delicacy
which comes from the refinement of a
refined and cultured home-life.
No treasures of knowledge or skill iii,lan-
guages or sciences could for a moment, in
the parents' idea, compensate for the bold-
ness, "loudness," and want of refinement
which a large school or college is supposed
to impart. It is feared by such people that
the habit of intercourse with a great number
of young girls at a public- table, or
in a large building, , at the most
impressible 'time 6f life, would wear oft'
something of that grace and sweetness, the
highest charm of women. The companion-
ship mav not be vulgar, and the college
may have the best arrangements, but the
fear is of the publicity itself of such a life.
Such prejudices against female colleges
may be groundless, but they exist. Then
comes in the question of physique. Ob-
viously, that is no nearer being settled than
it ever was, as relates to the capacity of
young women for heavy brain- work. Our col-
leges for women are usually badly arranged
in a sanitary point of view. They are over-
crowded and defectively planned. One
prominent one has, if we are correctly in-
formed, two bedrooms, with four oc-
cupants for each small sitting-room,
with no good ventilation, and all
the rooms permanently separated
from sun-light by corridors. This college
shows frequent instances of failing health
and disordered nervous system among the
students. But supposing the arrangements
as complete and elegant as^ they are in
Gnrton College, England, it is not at all
clear that a young girl can or ought to do
such constant heavy work as the male
student does. The subject is not at all
settled yet scientifically. It is a matter of
too momentous impo^ance to the future of
the race to decide in haste. The English
arrangement of studies, whereby the stand-
ing of the student is determined by periodic
examinations, so that a certain freedopi is
left in regard to daily work, seems much
wiser, and more likely to meet the exi-
gencies of the case.
In America, with our stimulating climate,
and the strain on the nervous system, ats
well'as inherited nervous tendencies, it is
very clear that our young women cannot
safely do such work as is regularly required
m our best colleges. Herein wUl lie one
great difficulty in regard to the university
examinations which our correspondent sug-
gests. There is doubt, too, whether the old
Harvard or Yale curriculum is exactly the
best for a woman in modern life. The
courses for male students have been greatly
modified in tbe past few years by elective
studies, and by a new curriculum in the
scientific schools. Science and philosophy
have been much substituted for classics.
Modem languages have attained far
greater prominence. The whole idea of
university training has been changed —
we do not say necessarily for the better.
On the contrary, we have a conviction that
in a few years there will be another re-
action to the classical languages, both as a
discipline and,a culture. But in this un-
certainty, it would seem a pity to endeavor
to force women into the old courses of
study by reproducing our present college
curricula among them. Yet we should be
sorry by these remarks to seem to throw
the slightest obstacle in the way of the
cultivated and public-spirited women in
this country, who are seeking to raise
woman's education. The condition of our
private schools is by no means satisfactory.
The system of "cramming" and " veneer-
ing " has been carried to its extreme in many
of these institutions. The young ladies
are graduated not only with no culture, but
with no intellectual tastes. An external
surface of accomplishments, and a mass of
superficiaUy-leamed sciences and languages,
are the sole result.
If it were not for certain movements go-
ing on in American society itself, the gen-
eral culture among women would be low-
ered by many of these schools. But the
fact is known that now, among what may
be called the best circles of Boston and
New-York, the young ladies themselves are
organizing and carrying out many
plans for "home study" and cultivation.
Tutors are - employed, regular hours
are observed, and a great deal of sub-
stantial mental work is done, in houses
where such serious pursuits would hardly
be suspected. Matoy of these ladies are in
correspondence with those similarly engaged
throuKhout the country. A secret commune
vinculum of culture is thus formed through
many parts of the land. We admit, how-
ever, that none of these voluntary efforts
can produce the exactness and thoroughness
which the scheme of university examina-
tions is calculated to effect in female educa-
tion. A degree or certificate given by these
will be an absolute proof of female scholar-
ship. But a much better practical stimulus
would be given to these examinations, if the
certificates could be made means for obtain-
ing teachers' positions in higher schools or
colleges for the young girls presenting
themselves.
LITE BART REFUTATIONS IN AMEB-
IC J.
A ,youne: Englishman, Mr. Walter Fish-
EK, has just published in Loudon a book
upon California. In discussing the general
literary condition of this country, he makes
the remark that to "London every writer
in tbe United States, ou subjects not local,
looks for his final patent of literary nobil-
ity." This notion, though it bus been
constantly repeated, though Americans
themselves have to a certain de-
gree .been accustomed to consider it
as true, has for years ceased to have any
truth whatever. Mr. Fisher quotes the
following sentence from Dr. . Nichol's
Forty Years of American Life: "A para-
graph of praise of an American writer from
an English review would go further with the
American public than the puffs of the whole
American press, daily, weekly, monthly,
and quarterly, in all its seven thou-
sand separate publications." Even if this
were true, which of course it is not,
, it would apt oj^ove that American author^^
wait for their " patents of literary nobility ''
from London. It is true that the verdict of
a few of the very best English publications
has weight with the American public. But
this is not because these publications are
English, but because it is believed here that
they are competent and impartial. It is
thought that they know a good book firom a
bad one, and giyje their opinions for and
against books in plain and honest terms.
Unfortunately, the American public has not
much confidence either in the literary com-
petence or the stem literary justice of the
greater part of their own press. The opinion
Qited by the author of Dr. Griswold, a per-
son belonging to a remote age of our liter-
ary history, is more to the point. Dr. Gris-
wold said that if an American author "wins
some reputation among his fellows, it is
generally because he has been first praised
abroad." There may have been a time when
this was tme. Had Mr. Fishkr been a
clever traveler he would not have needed
to quote the opinions of any one ; he had
only to look about tiim and to interrogate
the sentiment of the public,
It would not be hard to mention the names
of men having enviable literary reputations
in this country who are scarcely known in
England. Certainly, nobody would say "that
Mr. HowELLS is a person of no literary rep-
utation ; yet we believe that Mr. Ho wells
is very little known and read in England.
Some two or three years ago, just after the
publication of A Chance Acquaintance, per-
sons who were making the round of
the watering places found a perusal
of that book absolutely necessary to
any understanding of conversation.
In almost every hotel and boarding-house
there were young ladies who thought that
the lover's dismissal was richly merited by
his conduct ; there were gentler critics who
held that he had been hardly used ; and
there were certain matrons, more or less
related to the family, who, in the name
of their society, resented Mr. How ells'
satire deeply. Surely, a writer, who is read
in this way, and who so interests his read-
ers, has attained a literary reputation.
Yet we believe that A Chance Acquaintance
was scarcely read in England. Indeed,
there are many names which we might
mention, well and honorably known here,
which are unknown there. The English rep-
utation of even Mr. Bry.\nt, is very slight
by the side of his fame here. He is, of
course, known and read to a degree. Camp-
hBell, we believe, used to read aloud, with
emotion, the closing lines of "Thanatopsis,"
declaring that there was nothing finer ;
Mrs. Norton has been, also, one of his warm
admirers. But he has no considerable
fame In England. Yet that Mr. Bryant
has a most distinct and remarkable fame in
this country surely no one would deny. It
is true that Longfellow is as much hon-
ored in England as in his own country ;
that the fame of Emerson and Hawthorne
is nearly as great there as here. It may
be said generally that the writers best known
there are the most eminent at home ; this is
true, because the most famous writers of any
land will always be the best known beyond
its limits. They are honored abroad on ac-
count of the excellence of their writings,
and, they are honored at home from the same
cause.
Our English traveler, then, had not looked
well about him when he wrote that an
American author had to go to London for
his " patent of literary nobility," and im-
plied that there was no such thing as a dis-
tinctively American literary reputation.
A genuine literary man will always write
the thoughts which are the results of his
life, and he will always write 'them to the
people among whom he has lived. The im-
pression abroad appears to be that an
American poet chalks up his lines in the air,
to be read over the heads of his own coun-
trymen through the lorgnettes of English-
men. On tbe contrary, he writes as he
speaks, to his friends, to the people he
knows. If those beyond the sea hearken
likewise, it is a matter of considerable,
though Of decidedly secondary, importance ;
if they do not hear him, he ought to be, in-
deed he certainly is, very well content with
his own great and proper audience near at
hand. .
A CARNIVAL OF CRIME.
"A carnival of crime " — to use the favor-
ite expression of the rural press, when de-
scribing two consecutive attempts to rob a
local hen-roost— always begins in this City
as soon as the theatrical season opens. No
reference is here meant to the crimes which,
according to persons of the Talmage vari-
ety, a man who enters a theatre always feels
compelled to commit as soon as the per-
formance is over ; or to that universal rob-
bery of tills and cash-boxe^ wherewith, ac-
cording to the same authority, the usual
theatre-goer provides himself with sufficient
money to buy admission tickets and inci-
dental rum. The particular carnival of
crime in question is of a much more hein-
ous character. It will scarcely be believed
by people unacquainted witb the theatrical
world, that certain depraved men actually
buy tickets in order to sell them again at
advanced prices. Incredible as it may seem
that such an appalling crime should be per-
petrated in this land of Sabbaths and Sab-
bath-schools and stock exchanges, it is
nevertheless true that gangs of hardened
"ticket-speculators" exist and carry on
their i atrocious trade with perfect shame-
lessness. These speculators may be seen in
front of every theatre on the evening of a
performance, brandishing their blood-curd-
ling tickets in their hands, and enacting a
criminal carnival by boldly offering them
to persons who fail to obtain satisfactory
seats at the box-office. When crime of this
character flourishes without restraint in our
City, we may well ask how long we shall be
spared the fate of the Cities of the Plain.
Just at present a noble and fearless man-
ager has undertaken the task of suppressing
the ticket-speculators. Of course, there is
not an honest merchant or a skillful broker
in the City who will not heartily support so
excellent a crusade. And yet it is barely
possible not only that the suppression of
the ticket-speculating criminals wiU prove
very difficult, but that it is a mistake to con-
fine the manager's great moral crusade ex-
clusively to the abandoned ruffians who
sell tickets on the sidewalk. The latter
have their accomplices who are possibly , as
guilty as the principals, and it will be diffi-
cult to convince tLe unprejudiced critic
that these accomolice& should be allowed to
go unpunished.
Of th§ a.trooious naturo of the crime of
ticket-speculation there can be no question.
A man who wiU'buya ticket at the box-
offlce for a dollar and a half in order to-sell
it on the sidewalk for two dollars is a being
whom it were gross flattery to style a curb-
stone broker. Between his conduct and
that of the good merchant who buys sngar
and holds it "for a rise," or the broker who
makes a corner in '? Lake Shore" or " Har-
lem," there is <Jbviously an enormous differ-
ence—the difference, in short, which exists
between raffianly crime and business enter-
prise. That the ticket-speculator is fre-
quently able to dispose of his Jickets at a
large profit— after all the seats in the house
have been sold — is one of the worst features
of his loathsome career. If he never suc-
ceeded in selling bis tickets — or in other
words, it the public never wanted them —
he would soon be forced to gnaw the un-
wholesome pasteboard or die of starvation,
and thus disappear from the sidewalk which
Tie pollutes. That he would buy tickets
even if he knew he could never sell them,
we may safely assume, since it is clearly his
oyyn wicked heart which leads him to ' en-
trap morality and decency by purchasing
large quantities of eligible seats. It can-
not therefore, be denied that those -who
buy his tickets are his accomplices, and
that they are directly responsible for his
continued exertions, and the success which
rewards his life of crime. While then we
may honestly applaud the good manager
who, without a thought of advertising him-
self, makes war on the ticket-speculators, it
is evident that the public who buy tbe
speculator's tickets ought also to be sup-
pressed with the iron hand of— in fact, with
any available iron hand.
Hitherto the criminality of these accom-
plices has been successfully hidden by their
astute though hypocritical strategy. After
having J) urchased tickets from the specula-
tor they hasten to write letters to their
favorite newspaper, announcing that they
have been subjected to the frightful out-
rage of being provided yyith good seats by
a heaven-defying ticket-speculator, and
asking, " Now, Sir ! cannot some means be
devised of putting a stop to these oat-
rages?" Thus the guilty accomplice di-
verts attention from himself and retains
the respect and confidence of virtuous man-
agers ; while the wicked speculator counts
his ill-gotten gains, and cares not how
much his accomplice may publicly denounce
him, provided he privately buys his tickets.
If we crush out all those who buy the
speculator's tickets, we crush out the
speculator, and hence the former should
be the first and chief object of attack.
The best way in which to conduct the
crusade would doubtless be to obtain the
passage of a Municipal ordinance forbidding
any person to buy tickets on the sidewalk
unless he is provided with a license author-
izing him so to do. If the price of such a
license was fixed at, say, $100, the ordinance
would be a virtual prohibition of all crimi-
nal ticket-purchasing ; few, if any, persons
could afford to pay $100 for the right to buy
tickets from a speculator. Thus the latter
would have no accomplices and would per-
ish in great agony at an early day, while
enterprising managers could attract large
audiences by advertising the fact that
ticket-speculators were dying by the
dozen in the lobbies of their
theatres. It is true that corrupt
Judges might be found who would decide
that the City has no right to make a law
forbidding persons to buy tickets where and
from whom they yyill, but the same shame-
less Judges would probably decide that an
ordinance forbidding speculators to sell
tickets without a license would be equally
unjust. Perijaps, after all, the matter must
be left in the hands of the public, who must
decide whether to buy poor seats at the
box-office at $1 50 or good seats from the
speculator at $2. If the public can only be
induced to emulate the noble and self-abne-
gating conduct of the proprietor -of the
Herald, who is prepared to die rather than to
let any one pay him four cents for his paper,
the crime of ticket-speculating may be easily
suppressed without the passage of possibly
unconstitutional laws ; and if the managers
will always keep an unlimited supply of
the six best seats in the house for sale at
the regular price, the motive for the crime
of ticket-speculating will completely vanish.

To tltt Editor of tlie Ifew-Tork Tima : ,
A commtmication which appeared in your io.
sue of Saturday, Nov. 18, with regard to the faijdieE
education of women, may perhapa admit of a tern
words in reply. >-?'
It is very true, as the aatbor of that letter aaya,
that " we aliaU never have a complete edneaties
for women nntil onr lirst-cUas tmireoatiea an
thrown open to women." and it ia for tha reaaoa
that this most desirable end seems to bepoetpaoa^
and not urged forward by tiie Harvard examtna-
ations referred to, that many of tiie moat inflnen-
Hal women who have the interest of the girls moai
at heart can give to the new movement no aympar
thy. Theyoannot forget that frem Harvard bai
emanated -the most zealous and most efTaotive op-
position which the oaose of the coUegiate edacatfoi
of women has bad to encounter. This oppoidttoB
has been both direct and indirect, not only throogli
the acdon of the eorpoiation, bat also throo^ the
literary Influence which some of its iMvfieasers have
thrown into tbe scale. "We oan umppome that the
real desire of those many women, who have
vainlv applied for admission to Harvard, was a wish
to avail themselves of the aecamolated advantagee
which two hondred years have stored np in the
way ot apparatus and nrofeaalonal akiU at tbat
venerable institutioD, rather Than aimply w
measure themselves by the Huvard sandard. Tho
ofier of the government of that ITniversity to held
examinations of this kind has therefore seemed to
US rather to have tiie effeet of advettiainc that ia>
stitntion through the ooantry as friendly to tho
higher education of women, than of assisting tbeis
by allowing them to share in <ta heritage <» enl-
tnre. It also has '^ the effect to make womem over-
look the claims of those other TTniversities whld
have freely proffered all their advantages to them.
such as Mionigan ITniversity, Cornell TJniveraltr.
Yaaaai and Smith Colleges.
To put the state of affairs ia plain words it it
just this : Harvard ITniversity says to ttte boya
" Come and stay here in qniet for four yean, aaj
reclining at ease in the window aeata parsno yoai
studies. W» will find yon the beat teaehera, place
you in an atmosphere of stady, aorroand yon with
libraries, museums, and cabinets, assist you with
lectures, lllnstrated with the best apparatus."
And to the girls it saya; " Go your own waya, aook
out your own teachers, pursue yonr atndiea am^ig
all the distractions of yonr own hemes, withoot
lectures, oabineta, or advantages of any Jclad.
Then, when you are sure that you know yonr aob-
jects, come to me and I will tell yon so."
MeantiHe,\Hicbigan, Cornell, Tassar, aad Smitb
open their doors for not much mere than the aav
which private tuition on these subjects would ooat
Is It any wonder that thoughtful women amy tt
their pupils : " Prepare for those colleges, or fot
others that will admit you." The subieot is a broad
one, involving in reality the whole system, not only
of examinations, bnt also of adnoation itself; and
cannot be fairly discussed in the Umita of * newa>
paper oemmanlcatton. What has been aaid may.
however, serve to show that there is in the minds
of thoughtfal womem another side to this •'genorons
offer" of Harvard, which, perhaps, may desorv*
a thought. Permit me a word more in refereneo ta
some of the statements of your oorresnondeot. Ho
says that "onr female ooUejres do not reproeeBt
inherited wealth." This statement is tme. but for
the reason that "inherited wealth" is a vanishing
element in America. As for fimilies in this eountry
which represent "the inherited ooltnre of more
than one generation," they might be oonntad almost
on the fingers in aay SUte inthelTtalon. "Kataab-
lisbed social position" u a tradition rather than a
fact In this oonixtry," and "gentlo blood"
is associated in onr minds with a competency
only, and very rarely with "inherited wealth." It
would be folly, then, to expeot the girls' or boys*
colleges to be filled with the poaseasors of "inborn
ited wealtb, gentle blood, or the intelleotoal ealturo
of more than one generation." It would also
not be etpeoted that they should bo
filled with "Normal School" pupils, as normal
schools are special training schools for teaohor^
and their graduates are, most of them, under pledge
to devote their time to toaehing. Your oorro-
spondent makes this statement: "The heads of tho
better private schools in onr great Kastom eitieo.
regard. existing women's colleges with ooatompt.
and their sentiment is refieoted by their pupils."
In reply to this, it may be said that the first
students who ever entered Vsssar in the Sophomore
class entored this Fill from one of the pti rata
schools in this City, and that the same school, the
year before, sent a pupil into the Freshman olaas,
while the year before that it entered one in tho
Freshman class of Coraell. When yonr oo^
respondent charaps the "public schools in eeneial
—for he does nor speoity the public schools sf any
particular place— with *• dreary routine and o»id

_ ', , Pams Wednesday, Not. 8, 1876.
Jit tfie IxQxxi I \nite the greatest exoite-
Aent prevails among the Americana in Paris,
ind a large nTimber of them are Banntering
tbont in the Rue Sonbe, waitine impatiently
l>r the telegraph to brinjt us fuller returns of
the Presidential election. Very little betting
wa« done, and the chances of the two oandi-
lates were considered so evenly balanced that
to odds were given. Our first dispatches -were
bvorable to Hayes, but at 10 o'clock this even-
%fi «nother dispatch came to announce the
tnumph of Tilaen, and Democratic champagne
ftowed freely about the hotels. It was evident,
hovever, that the Democrats had taken their
hopes for realities, disseminating them largely,
for at that hour we could haye had no
news later than 1 o'clock in New- York. At 11
o'clock here the rumor prevailed that two pri-
vate dispatches had been received — one by Mr.
Waahbnrue, deolarmg that Tilden had carried
BTew-Tork and Connecticut, and hence his elec-
tion conld be counted upon with certainty.
Uore Democratic champagne was dealt oat,
utd Mr. TUden's friends grew joyous. McLean's
tispatobes were closely scanned, but they were
evidently cautious, the most of them declaring
that no official returns had been received at a
certain hour. At this hour the matter remains
still doubtful, and the crowd of Americans in
the Eue Scribe has been greatly augmented.
AU the dispatches received thus far represent
things as favorable to Mr. Tilden, and hence the
Democrats are in very good humor. But what
the next few hours will bring no one can guess.
No%u verrons ixla !
We have here one of the most singular
Anancial scandals that has been seen m the
present century. It shows what the country
has to pay for a bad tax, based upon false
Ksoal theories and calculations. In 1871, when
SL Thiers was so ambitious to pay the Germams
»ut of Prance at onee, and to get money by any
Beans, M. Pouyer-Quertier imagined a tax
■pan luoifer-matohes. It was estimated that
the comntry constuned 18,000,000,000 of matches
tach year. With large ideas upon this subjeet
the Finance Committee estimated the annual
Bonaumption at 120,000,000. The difference be-
ween 18,000,000,000 and 120,000,000,000 is so
Knat that one feels astonished at it, and dis-
posed to ask upon what bases the two estimates
can rest. But in order to be prudent, it was
modestly declared. . , the oemmission counted
upon one-half of this only, or upon 60,000,000,-
OOO. A tax of three centimes was then out upon
eaeh box of 100 matehes, and five cen tunes, or
one cent, upon ^ach-box containing 125 matches.
As soon as thi» report W8ks read, before any
law upon the Bubj«ot was pS&sed, the dealers
raised the prioe ef their matches from two to
three sous per box of 100. M. Pouyer-Quertier
thought that the State ought to share with the
grocers in this sum. drawn from the public, and
kenee raised the tax to tour centimes,, and an-
nounced that this pirodaced 15,000,000 of francs
per «in-nTmn to tlio State. But the first few
BUHitbs produced ofuly 400,000 francs, one after
the other, leaving a deficit of 10,000,000 of francs
in the estimates h%, the Finance Minister. Evi-
dently soHietliing !liad to be done to save the
ntoation. and at tliat moment MM.. Roche and
Canssemille, the n:i;anufacturers of the famous
-wax tapers, offered to pay the state 16,000,000
francs a year if they were allowed a complete
monopely of the m atch trade in France. The
offer was tempting, but guarantees were asked.
Itseemsthat some bold speculators had mount-
ed a company witb a capital of 40,000,000 francs,
and had manged to persuade some of our largest
bankers — ^Pillet, Will, Vernes, Hattirgner, and
others— that the company was sure of making
millions. The xooney was raised. — the State
accepted the effezi, — ^the new match company
got out its stock, and had its bonds c[uoted
upon the Bourse at 150 franca premium. All
the small match, faotories were bought out by
tiie State at a valuation, the new company pay-
ing some 200,000yO00francs to secure its monopo-
ly. When this waehdone, and the monopoly creat-
ed bv law. the price of matches was fixed. In a
kilogramme — two pounds — ^there are 3,500 wo»d
inatches,thetwo pounds being sold for two francs.
It cost the comrpany one franc ninety-six cen-
times to manufa>7ture them, and counting inter-
est and the fifteen per cent, to be taken off for
the trade, the ccnnpany loses twenty-four cen-
times, or nearly five sous, on every box con-
taining two pounds of wood matches. This
difference was made up by abstracting a num-
ber of matches, aelHng 2,700 for two pounds in-
stead of 3,500, .' the public thus losing 800
matches in each large box by the monopoly.
But this was not enough, andr«t)e company
Bade its matches so cheap ancypoo^^hat four
or five were waisted lor evmy one that pro-
dueed a. light. .The Begiealumetter became a
standing joke in Paris, but to the poor it was
no joke. The people began to complain and to
find other means for striking a light.
The first year the Match Company paid its
16,000,000 of francs to the State and distributed
a dividend often per cent., gained, be it noted,
by speculations upon the Bourse with the hun-
dred and odd millions ot caution money. The
second year it vras found that, instead of sell-
ini; sixty milliards of matches, or forty, or
thirty milliards, it was impossible to counb
apon the sale of mora than from twenty to
Ifwentv-two milliards. Then came clamors and
recriminations, with charges of fraud and con-
traband manufacture. The monopoly then ob-
tained six laws fr»in the Assembly to protect
Its rights, and a largo force jof inspectors and
detectives was organized to stop the smuggling
and the contraband manulaoture, and they
were given the police power of entering houses,
. ot entering complaint against individuals, of
seizing at ence all matches which did not bear
the monopoly stamp. This finally became
vexatious. Several persons resisted these
agents, denying their pretended rights, and
constant quarrels were the result. And mean-
thne the matches became so poor and so denr
that no one would use them when it could be
helped. Scnokers had their briquets, by which
a fire could be easily obtained without having
sne's hand burned by a bit of sulphur flying
from the end of a match, while ihe country
people went back to flint and steel with a wisp
of tow steeped in a solution of sulphur. In a
year's time matches went out of tasbion, and
. ^be great Match Company suspended payment.
The queption now comes as to what is to be
done with this monstrous monopoly, evidently
bom of miscalculation, to use the wildest term
that can be applied. The Minister of Finance
proposes to reduce the sMxa, to be paid the State
fram 16,000,000 to 6,000,000 a year, that is a
reduction of 10,000,000. But what an outrage
upon the public this would be! The people had
to pay 40,000,000 for ,the appi-opriations neces-
sary to establish a monopoly which was to pro-
duce 16,000,000 a year, and the whole scheme
to fall Through after 16,000,000 have been paid.
Beyond question, if the State will reduce the
annual sum to, say 5,000,000 francs, the monopoly
could succeed audpav handsome dividends; but
some person might as well come forward to rob
the public, or some official thief plunge his hand
elbow-deep in the public treasury. The Budget
Committee refuses the proposition of the Minis-
ter and with roMon. The xuHXOjaolT o<ight to be
allowid to live until its eavital is used up and
no longer. It has foity millions ; it loses eight
millions a year ; m five years it can gracefully
retire and leave the match industry once more
free. But some go so far as to say that the
company ought to be prosecuted, tor Iraud and
damages demand it The specifications are
that it has ioroed the means of making and
palming off— because the law prohibits all
others— the worst matches ever seen ; because
it cheated the public by putting only 2,700
matches in each box instead of 3,500; beeause
its Directors induced persons te pay 650 francs
for shares which cost only 500, and which were
neai'ly valueless; and, finally, because they
have been engaged in perpetrating one of the
worst frauds from which a people ever suffered.
Our critics may gossip about Americans like
Tweed, but when we come to compare them
with their equals here, .particularly with a
view te the generality ol the suffering caused,
I must give my vote m favor of our sort of
rascals and rasealitv.

London, Nov. 19.— A dispatch to Router's
Telegraph Company, dated Constantinople, Satur-
day, says:
"The Extraordinary Grand Council today re-
solved to accept the cqnference. It is stated that
Miabat Paaha and SsTketPasha will be the Turkish
Plenipotentiaries. Chevkst Pasha has been sent to
PhUippopolls for trial bj the Commission which is
invesUeating the atrocities In Bulgaria."
A Renter telegram from St. Petersburg, dated to-
day, says: "The State Bank announces that it is
authorized by an Imperial ukase, dated Nov. 18, to
receive subscriptions for an issue of 100,000,000
roubles in bank notes, bearing interest at five per
cent., the issue price to be ninety-two. The Offidial
Gazette says this loan is rendered necessary by the
extraordinary expenditures in view of the present
political situation. It hopes all classes will sub-
scribe."
LONPON, Nov. 20.— The Standard's Berlin dis-
patch reports that Turkey has' sent a note to
Bucharest asserting her right to send troops to
Wallaohia in the event of Rusblan itvasion.
A telegram has been received in Vienna, stating
that Gen. Tchemayeff has been superseded In the
chief command of the Servian Army by Gen.
Semeka, formerly commander of the Kusslan Mili-
tary District of Odessa.
The Berlin JPost asserts that several Americans
have applied to the Eussiaa Government for
letters of marqne to he used against English ship-
ping in the event of war.
The Time*' Calcutta dispatch says the Pioneer
states that the Indian Government is preparing to
send a strong contingent of iroopa to Egypt if war
Is declared In Earope.
The Daily Newt special from Vienna says It is
positively stated that neither Germany nor Aus-
tria would oppose Bnssia'a entry into Eonmama.
The Berlin dispatch to tne Daily Kews sajb the
highest estimate which even Rus&laDS give of the
portion of the Russian Army now In process of mo-
bilization, is 220,000 men.
The Nevjs dispatch from Belgrade says 500 Rus-
sians arrived there on Saturday. There seems to
be a disposition to hsve the Russians who were dis-
gusted witb the Serytans dnrine the late campaign
replaced by fresh and enthusiastic mbn.
The Vienna correspondent of the limes confirms
the report that Mldhat and Savfet Pashas are to be
the Tarkiah plenipotentiaries at the conference.
A Berlin special to the Timet reports that all the
ships of the Russian Black Sea Navigation Com-
pany have been impressed into the service of the
Bassian Government.
The paper* to-day generally take a more hopeful
view of the situation. The Times says: "This
morning opens so fairly that we are perhaps led
to be too sanguine in holding that peace is assured.
It is hard to believe that, when ten persons, als
representing powers deeply interested in keeping
peace, meet in council ihey will not maintain peace
unbroken."
ANTIQUITIES ^OF CYPRUS.
THE CESNOLA TREASURES.
IN ORDER TO SAVE THEM TO AMERICA AND
THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM, $11,000
MUST BE RAISED TO-DAY.
A dispatch was received a few days since
from Gen. Di Cesnola bj the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, in this City, to ths effect that £10,000 had
been offered by the British Museum, for the Cesnola
art treasures, discovered under the Temple of
Eariani, at Cypras. A special effort i» therefore
being made to save the collection to America and
this City. Subscriptions have been received,
amounting in all to $23,000. Only about |11,000
more are needed, hut this amount must be sub-
scribed by this evening. At a special meeting of
the Trnstees of the Metropolitsa Muaeam on
Thursday evening, the following statement and
resolution were adopted:
The Trustees of this museum have from time to
time received from Gen. Di Cesnola reports of his
diggings and disooreries in the Island of Cyprus
since his departure from 2Tew Xork, some three
yeais ago. They desired to enter into an arrange-
ment with him by which they shonld become p.s-
sessed of all of his discoveries. An agreement to
tnls effect was drawn up, but the hnaaclal obliga-
tions of the museum at tnat time were such that
tuey did not foel justified in signing it.
Tne success of the explorations of Gen. Di Cesnola
has sorprised the most sanguine expectations of
himsulf aii<l friends. Porty feet beneath the
present sutf ice of the ground, under the Temple of
Kurium, not far from the ancient City of Faphos, he
discovered what were undoubtedly the treasure
vaults of the temple. These consisted of a series of
four rooms, excavated in the solid rock, with
narrow passages leading Into cbeui, through small
opeoings.' In them he found over tifceen hundred ob-
jects in gold, silver, gems, bronze, alabaster, and ten a-
cotta. The indications are that these had been lef o
by the priests, wnen obliged from some cause to
make a hasty departaio, and that they had .been
unable to return for them.
A3 a whole, or in detail, these objects, especially
the ornaments in gold and the mounted gems, are
unequaled In interest by those composing the col-
lecrion of the great museums of Europe, which
hava been made up frpni single pieces tound at in-
tervals in various localities in Italy and Greece/
The greater importance of the E.urium coUeotloii
is evident, it having been discovered all in one
ylace, and being referred to one date, supposed to
be at least 650 years before Christ.
There are massive armlets ot pure gold. With in-
scriptions ; examples of ihe finest ancient granu-
lated work, popularly known as Eti-uscan jewelry ;
ring.-), bracelets, ear-rings, necklaces, seals, cups of
gold, silver, and oopfier, and objects of crystal.
In addition to this remarkable . discovery at the
Tem pie of Kurium. Gen.Di Cesnola has opened many
tombs a:id made an exhaustive search tbiougnout
the island, discovering several sarcci|>hagi of un-
usual and rare design, numerous sculptures and
bas-reliefi, Qud several thousand specimens of
ancient Gd'eek glass and tecra-uotta. In tbe form of
vases aiid statuettes. Excepting tbe treasure dis-
covered at Kurium, whjfeh the General has With
him in England, these things are contained in be-
tween one and two hundred cases, deposited in tbe
lower rooms of our' museum, they naving never
been opened.
The French Government has offered Gen. Di Ces-
nola for the Korium treasure and a selection of the
other objects 300,000 francs, or$60,000 ingold,andour
President received yesterday a telegram from Geu.
Di Cesnola stating that the British Museum had of-
fered £10JB00, or 550,000 in gold, for the Kurium
treasu^-e alone, and that he would be obliged to
give a final answer to this offer within three davs.
The Trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of A^t
fael that it is of the utmost Importance not only to
the hmsenm itself and to the City, but to the educa-
tional interests of the country, that this collection
in its entirety sbould be permanently placed la
ifew-Tork. Should either the British Museum or
the Louvre succeed i i seounug it, it will be a con-
stanrly-recnrring subject for regret, and the value
and importance of our preaeni Cyprus collection
will be seriously affected. Whereas, if our museum
possesses the whole of the discoveries from Cyprus,
we shall be In a position to dispoai^ of very many
duplicates to great advantage, and still have tne
finest collection of the kind in existence.
In view of the f.cts here stated, and the impor-
tance and nece8j.ity of prompt action in this mat-
ter, it l3 hereby
JResolved, That upon the receipt from, or the guar-
antee by, any responsible person or person's, of the
sum of 440,000 in gold, the Executive Committee is
instructed to purchase of Gen. Di Cesnola, for the
sum ol$60,0C0in gold, the whole of tbe Kuvium treas-
ure, and other coUeotious now in his possession and
not now owned by the museum, with the under-
standing that Geii. Di Cesnola shall come here him-
self to superintend tne arrangement of theentire col-
lection in the new Central Pars: Museum, and lay
out f jr sale all duplicates or such pieces as may be
spared, the proceeds of each sale to go toward the
payment of the dlfforelice between the $40,000 sub-
scribed or guaranteed, aad the purchase price of
tea, 000.
In the event of any person advancing or becom-
ing responsiale tor the sum of iMO.OOO in gold, the
Museum agrees that the collection shall be ac-
knowleoeed and known as the (tift of that person.
The Museum is now free from all debt,

AMPLKS— HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY
Ol? THE TKHASURE ^THE RESULT OF
TEDIOUS LABORS — HOW NEW-YORK
CIXY SECURED A GREAT PRIZE.
The Londen Athenwum of Nov. 4 prints a
long article on Gen. Di Cesnola's "Anliqiiitios from
Cyprus." Tbe writer, after calliLig attention to former
relics discovered, soys : "Gen. DI Cefeno'a's eneray,
acumen, and good f )rtune recovered from Golgos
and Idalium those remains which, after waiting, so
to say, for months at the gate of the Briiiih Ma-
8eum,Trai lost to thisconntry and to Europe through
want cf tact aud savoir-faire in ons or more quarters
—official and other. While the savants were making
up their minds whether or not to accept the discov-
erer's by no means onerous conciitions, the prize was
snatched away, aud at the Metroi;Olitan Museum if
New-York it now serves as the nucleus for a grtar,
garnering. * * * The loss was unfortunate fjr
the nation, and it was hardly less so f jr Europe,
where an iquilies of this rare order ml^rhr have been
Studied more profitably than in New-Yoik, a city
not previously rich in such works, and where com-
parieons wifh similar relics, an essential of sneh
studies, are, for the present, at least, oat pf the
question, unless under the least fivorable condi-
tions." Concerning the later discoveries the Athe-
ncEum says:
The history of the discovery of the treasure is
almost as romantic as a chapter of The Arabian
Xights, and, given briefly, is to this eiiect : On the
site of Kourium, Geu. Di Cesnola was measuring
the shaf : of a fillen colum, when he observed under
it a mosaic pavement, comprising Egyptian and
Assyrian decorations, the guUoehe, chevron, and
lotus flower being disposed to form a pattern.
This appeared to be tbe original floor of
the place, and Its character, materials, and
design may be studied In the fcatrment brought
to this country. In a certain part of this pave-
ment the explorer fjund that some one had
preceded him, for a space of, say, five feet tqitare,
was broken up, and further observation proved that
the earth had been disturbed to a deptu of about
five feet below the sarfaee, as Jf by one in search of
treasure, wbo had given up his task en finding no
warrant for success. The removal of the rubbish
from this place led to the discovery that the earth
there yielded a hollow sound, and this encouraged
Gen. Di Cesnola to make deeper excavations than
his f jreruiiner had ventured on. It seemed not im-
probable that here had been originally a stair-
case, the wooden casing of which bad fallen
lu even before time had filled the shaft
■with d6bri8 and mold. Penetrating twenty
additional feet, the diggers found their expectation
(f suscess encouraged by the discovery or two
none steps, placed btfire tbe entrance of a pas-
sage which had been cut in the native rock. When
cleared out, the passage gave access to a doorway,
which was reasonably enough believed to be ihat
of a tomb, for it was situated as innumerable tombs
are found to be ; its entrance was stopped by a slab
ot rough stone, which had been either careleasly or
hastily placed. On removine this slab, an oven-
sbaped chamber was discovered, twenty-five
feet bigi. filled to the very top with in.
filtrated earth, as in ninety out of every
hundred Cypriote tomhs. After spendiDg
two or throe days in clearing away the upper
portion Of the earth, the excavators found a second
doorway, leading to another and inner chamber,
which was likewise filled with earth. Gen.Di CeS-
nola allowed his laborers to reuiove the earth to
within a foot of the rocky fioor, and then dis-
missing the greater number, be, with the aid of
two trusty men only, set to work to examine the
remainms earth, hterally taking it by handf jls,
passing the flae mold, mer» dust as it was,
between the fingers of the workmen, doing so not
once only, but at least twice ; It was this care which
insured discovery of a very considerable number
of articles of great value and minute size which we
have yet to describe. Near the middle of the place
was found a heap of precious objects, the position
of which, as a whole, and their disposition severally,
1>roved at once that this was no sepulchral cham-
btr ■which had been entert-d after the lapse of
orubably two thousand five hundred yean irom
f*S,-«»-tt,<-<-t-i
the time when the rough stone was sat against
its entrance. Tbe aotiqnities were m a
pile, .{ust as, possibly, tbey had been hastily set
down on tbe fioor by those who brought them
there for seonriiy or concealment on tbe occurrence
of a sudden alarm, which had proved to be a final
one ; for it was . evident that, from that hour, no
one had touched the precious things. The first ob-
ject discovorfd in the pile was a large bracelet ot
solid gold. Tbe next find couristed of numerous
other personal ornaments of the same metal. Con-
vinced bv the position of the iieap that he had pene-
trated to a treasury and not opened a tomb, the
fortuoate explorer determined to opes the second
chamber in the same manner as the first. This
operation led to the discovery of a third chamber,
and, alter that, to the opening ot another similar
excavation, a series which was found to terminate
in a low passage.
It reqnirod two months' labor of the primitive
fashion followed by the native workmen ere these
excavations were cleared to wiihin a foot of the
floor throughout, the place of whloh was readily
disooved by means of boring-rods. In one> of the
later-found chambers the laborers carao on cs^h-
delabra, tripods, aud other ateusils of bronze^ the
tallness of which soon brought ttiem to no»'lce/ All
this time the explorer was convinced that tue as
yet unsearched earth contained treasures, and one
may readily guess the anxiety witb which he
watched the slow toils of the workmen and longed
for their termination. It was needful to keep se-
cret the fact that treasures were already recovered,
and almost equally desirable to be able to search the
whole of the excavations without admit lug .labor-
ers less trustworthy than the immediate attendants
of Gen, DI Cesnola. At last the rough work
was done, and, so tar as all but a few persons knew,
nothing of greater value than the bronze utensils
had been found. The tru^y hands were then set to
their task of scraping up the fine powdery earth
with native knives, and passing tbe dust between
two sets nt fingers to baskets, the contents of which
were again sifted. /
Tne resnlt of these tedious labors was the dis-
covery of the treasure which is now offered to the
Trnstees of th^ British Museum, and will pro-
bably, sublect/io the report of Dr. Birch and Mr.
Newton, become tbe property of the nation. It
is, indeed, /an amazing treasure to which the
finder introduced us the other day, for the con-
tents ofyXtia fiTst-tound chamber proved to be not
fewer than five bnndrod and fifty objects of gold
and gems, cousisting of diadems, or portions of dia-
dems, and perfect rings, enr-nncs, nracelets, neck-
lets, large solid coiled armlets, some being nearly
as thick as one^s little finger, and golden leaves ;
besides a gold cup five inches and a half in diameter
and more than two inches di>ep, solid, beautifully
decoruted with a pattern vf Egyptian work in lines
of lotus in repotMJi^e, finished on tbe inside with a
tool, and worn evidently by frequent use. The
rings comprise signets of gems, engraved, in many
cases, with art of the highest order, and all
being m peifjct condition. There were like-
wise cylinders of B:ibylunian origin and nse, some
of which have been aHCribed by Assyriologists to
epochs, resDeotivei.y, 1600, 1200, and 600 years B. C.
A very con^nderable portion of tne gems are eoara-
bei of -fiue workmanship and easily recognizable
origin ; some of them boar Greek letters, others
characteis wnich are, sevarally, Egyptian or
Assyrian. Not a few of the Intagli are of
the "loveliest style. Amoug these we may notice
an archaic Greek one, exhibiting Pluto aud Proser-
pine. This, one authority has averred to be
tbe fiuesc example ot its order in existence. An-
other gem boars Boreas, designed and sculptured
with wonderrul sDirit ; on a third is a naked figure,
probably Venus. Of the E;:yptian and Assyrian
periods a great number of the finest instances ex-
hibit sacred subjects. , The materials are agate,
Q;nyx, oarnellan, chalcedony, .J[asper, sard. This
laree discovery of engraved gems is likely, we un-
derstand, to afifect the conclusionsjarrived at by ex-
ports in legard to some of the most important
bearings of the subject to which thes^
students are devoted, to throw quite unex-
pected light on the history of the glyptic an,
and to correct many judgments hitherto held un-
challengeable. Some of the gold ornaments are of
hardly liifdrior valae in history anu art to the gems.
Among these ssveral aie declared equal to the
tiest Etruscan examples in desigo and execution,
where comparisons can be made between chosen
works. This class of relics includes objects— pro-
bably fibula)— which are enriched with superbly-
wrought CuimserSB, rasettes, and honeysuckle-like
decorations of Greek fashion, but subject to a
decided and obvious Assyrian influence. Some
are of solid gold, some ol silver on gold, some of
gold on silver, some uf gold on bronze; a few are
of hollow uold. Some comprise ena'nels in the
filling m of Ihe petals of flowers and the eyes of ihe
ChimsBtss, a material which has been illustrated in
a similar service with regard to certain articles of
bronze discovered in one cfthe other chambers.
The only objects not wholly of gold which occurr9d
in the first chamber were three beautiful rook-
crvstal amphorae, mounted in gold, a vary large
signet ring, or btamp, and three other riUjEs of the
same material ;|a necklace of rock-crystal beads,
alternating with gulden ones, and having a pendant
cf rock-crystal shaped like a bottle.
In the second room the objects, 280 in number,
were all of silver. This large discovery ot Wi.iks
in that metal would, simply ou account of the ma-
terial employed, be of the highest antiquarian im-
portance, for. owing to the perishable nature
of silver, wi.rks formed of it are extraordinarily
rare. This find Is likewise, however, especially
noteworthy for the number of its examples, the
beauty of the an employed on many of them,
the fine condition of some, and the peculiar cir-
cumstances of the case. The more im-
portant specimens consist of about thirty vases,
paterae, cups, and vessels of oth«r forms ; some of
these are so much oxydizad thai they erumole to the
touch, others distinctly retain the brillijincy ot the
metal and it.s whiteness. Some of tbe relics are en-
riched in revonsses and otlier modes of decoration.
There are more than sixty bracelets. Most of these
terminate in heads of asps, as in Egvptian works
of this order, which they closely resemble. Soma
of these amulets are.more than a pound in weight,
and the whole comprise every vaiiety, whether for
the nse of men, women, or children. There are also
amulets, ear-rings, fibulae, and spoons, besides two
beaulifiil belts enriched with goldand ornamented in
an Assyrian mode ; one of mese, seems to have been
woven in silver vrire, and was, probably, flexible,
bat it IS now, by oxydation, fused into whav may
be culled plates of vai'ious leugvhs and extremely
brittle nature. There are fraguaents of six or seven
cups, wi.h, on their inner 8arf.ioes, engraved work,
which is most like Bgyptiao. If we may judge by
the bulk if the fragments, as massed byoxydation,
there can be but little doubt that in this place
were about ooe hundred cups; ths f.-agmenta
lie one in tne other, in layers, as they were piled.
Among tbe most important specimens are two
large paterae In a wundeifil state of preservation,
each having a central boss, which ia inclosed by a
flat ring, both boss and ring being of gold inorusted
on the sliver body of the vessel, the ring being dec-
orated with lotus aud palm leaves, and (j^tUer sub-
jects frequent in Egyptian and Assyrian art, and.
in this case, showing a combination of the modes of
design affected b.v each cf these nations. Other
oxydizbd masses are formed bv ten or more cups,
and some consist cf five or six distinguishable ves-
sels.
In the third room were torra-cottas, alabastra,
vases, and fictile gioaps. These are sliil pauked
iu boxes; we hope to dee them sooa. In the fourtu
room were fonud more than fiv») hundred bronze or
oopper utenii s, candelabra, lamvs, caldrons, vasts
of unmeroua varieli.s, paieiae with reli-f<, a trii;o*
with animals aioana the base, and a candelabrum
wi h animal f^et; four large lions' heads of bronze,
doubtless be ooging to a fountaia; ei<rht heads of
bulls with enamels in the eyes; the.se uoubtless be-
longed to a throne or chair of iron, for General Di
Cesuo'a fjund an oxyciized uiasj cf tho latter metal
within the space eucki8«»d by the eigfcvbnll's heads.
Bevond the fourth room a shaft or passage abuuc
two fjet hiih occurred. This was exploreJ f jr 130
frtet, but with treat diffieulty, and, owing to lack of
air with some danger to the workmen. In it were
found six laitje caldrons, four brukeu and two com-
plete. This passage, the use of which has not
been ascertained, was, iiie all the chamber^, filled
with earth, which had probably filtered throush
tho porous, calcareous rock in which all the excava-
tions had been made.
The gold alone of this collection has been valued
in Pans at £12.000. General Di Cesnola has offered
the whole treasure ot 1,505 pieces iu various mate-
rials fjr £12,000, provided his name be given to the
collootion as such. This is, wo understand, the
lowest price. It i« a very moderate ont. When we
consider that a much-mutilated mask of bronze was
gold lo tbe British ilu8i;um for the prodigious sum
of £9,000, lis chief source of interest beine us nn-
usuali.v large size, there cannot bo two opiuions
about the price of the treasure of Kourium. It is to
be hoped that "a certain "iaipracticability," to
which we owe the loss of the antiquities of Golgos
and Idal.um, will not recur now.
IWEEI> kTlLL AT SEA.
Two morning papers yesterday announced
that the Pranklin, with Tweed on board,
had arrived oflf Sandy Hook on Satur-

graphed yesterday, aud nothing having been

the statement made so positively yesterday morn-
ing, and referred to above, is wholly incorrect.

/ PuiLADELPHlA, Sunday, Nov. 19. 1S76.
/a ease of peculiar interest has arisen here,
and will demand attention in all quarters on account
of its novelty. This is an eflfort which has been made
by citizens resident near St. Mark's Protestant Epis-
copal Church to restrain tho wardens, vestrymen, and
others from ringing tho chime of bells which call
the fiock to devotiOBtf. The great importance which
is attached to the matter is that St. Mark's Church,
situate on Locust street, between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth, is in the centre of the intensely
aristocratic portion of the city. St. Mark's is
distinguished from the other Episcopal ohnrches
here from the fact that its services are of tbe so-
called "high-church" order, closely copied from
similar churches in England. It was the first to in-
troduce here the boy chorister system. At present
all the distinctive obaracteriatics of the English
"ritualist" service are rotainsd, and the church has
drawn upon itself considerable attention in conso
quence. Recently, to be still more in keeping with
the forms of their English prototypes, a chime of
four bells was procured from England, and tbey were
plaoeo In the belfry. The sexton received his in-
structions as to how they were to be sounded, .ind
their doleful peals ring out four times every Sun-
day and at 5 o'clock service in the morning during
the week. The sounds are loud, far from sweet, and,
it must he admitted, anything but agreeable. Be-
sides this the ringing at such an early hour as 5
o'clock in the morning prevents the residents in the
neighborhood from enioying their morning nap and
causes great discomfort, and they have consequently
combined and presented the f jllowing petition to
the otficers of St. Mark's :
To the Rector, Churchwardens, and Vestrymen of ISt.
Mark's Ohureh.
Gentlemen : You are already aware ths>t the
establishment and the use ot bells In St. Mark's
Church encountered serious objectiaos from resi-
dents in the vicini y of the church, and that the
parties who auiijipated the disturbance they would
cause, ventured to express to you their apprehen-
sions in thii behalf as they intended, in tho most
respectful mann<r.
'Lhe undersicned now bag to say that their tears
have been fnllv realized, and that great diitress
ha^ arisen to too near neighbors from the frt'queni
and protracted ringing of St. Mark's hells; so
much so that, at the present time, there are several
persons who suffor impaired health from thit. Cause,
and many fiimilies who are much disturbed thereby.
The undersigned do not prefer a request to diicon-
tinue the tiuging oftho bells, excepting f jr a single
service, viz., for what Is called "the early morning
service," and f jr this they most earnestly appeal
to yoq.
It must be familiarly known to gentlemen whose
lives are devoted to tfaie personal consideration and
relief of sufioring. that there is always a claos of
persons who have been rendered Intensely
sensitive by overstrained, though neces-
sary, occupation in useful secular works,
and in devotion, also, to the pursuit
of charitable aud religions labors ; and that delicate
organizations, whether natural or acquired, must
be painfully affected by the loud souuds, however
musical, and the thrilling vibrations which attend
the Striking of the bells. .
Por such as these, more especially, do we appeal
to«you to diicouttnuo the ringing for " ihe'early
morning service," the expectation, even, of which
sounds disturbs, or wholly breaks, the repose nfVne
entire nignt, and unfits the eufforer for the enjoy-
ment of Sunday rest and Sundav womhip. .
This concession, and a reduction of the time given
to bell-ringing at the other services will, we be-
lieve, compose the irritation and obviate the objec-
tions which dlsturh, though most reluctantly to
themselves, so many of the neighbors and well-
wishers of St. Mark's Chorch.
It may be true that the offense and the resent-
ment thus naturally created may net prove in any
de;;ree harmful to the interests of tbe honored
church which yon represent. We should deplore
such an infiueuce ; but we are convinced that the
consciousness of such exemption will not weigh with
you ia determining the ques:iori. We rather ccm-
msud to your thofaghts this suggestion : That uo
individual of your body, if he could measure tho
amount of discomfort and snfiering which is caused
by the pr.actice now pursued, conld fjil to have hi4
senfcibilitiss ppined, and his judgment determiaeJ
to abate tne evil.
In conclusion, we belisve that it may be confi-
dently state! tnat neither the religious interests
nor the religious comf jrt ot eve* the humblest at-
tt-ndaut of St. Mark's Guuroh would be interfered
with.
Nov. 1, 1876.
Appended to this letter are the names of some of
the most prominent eirizens of Philalelphia, and
accompanying it a communication from some of the
most distinguished gentlemen in tbe medical pro-
fession in the country, who called the attention of
the officers cf St. Mark's to the evil influence created
by " the early, the froauent, and the prolonged
ringiug of the bells, believing it to be prejudicial to
the health ot some and the comfort of many of the
residents of the neigliborhood."
To both of these comiuunications the vestry re-
plied deuviog the right of tbe r8si;leni8 to recalate
in any way or manner the time of liuging the bells
of St. Mark's Church, but allowed that the congre-
gation, through the Rector of the parish, was ready
at any time to consider anv special appeal that may
be made far stoppiu:i the ringing of the bells m any
speciflad case oi illness. This rejjinder naturally
caused ereat indisnailon among the residents, and
now the matt;er will be carried into the courts, and
an eff irt made to secure an iniunciion which will
deprive St. Marie's worshipers of the use of their
chimes. This morning, the bells pealed^ out their
dismal tones, as if iu defiance to the request
of the neighbors, and the services went on as usual.
The fiijht between the residents, led bv Mr. George
L. Harrison, on the one side, and St. Mark'* on
tho other, will he Litter, as the church people aie
very proud of tho chimes, and deem them a.-< one of
the necessary essentials which go to make up their
novel service. _

NOTES FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Nov. 19.— Owing to the absence
of so many supeiior officers and clerks during the
Presidential contest, the ]jreparation of the annnal
reports of the heads of departments has heen de-
layed; none of them have yet been placed in tho
hands of the public printer.
In consequence of the late period at which the
Biver AnA Harbor Improvement Bill was passed at
the late session of Congress, only a small portion of
the $5,000,000 appropriated have been expended,
and, therefore, the estimates /or such objects will
be comparatively small for the next fiscal year.
Information has been received here tb.\t a number
ot members of Congress have already signified their
intention to offir amendments to the Coostitutiou
cfthe United States, for the purpose of avoiding in
future the difficulties and dangers now attending
the election of a President.
The chambers of the two Houses of Congress are
now ready for occupancy, the furniture havinir heen
replaced and necessary repairs made dtuing tbe
recess.
The contractors for paving Pennsylvania avenue
have not yet finished their work, which is now in
such condition that there is scarcely any travel on
it excepting by street railway.

SUNDAY'S STORY.
The storm predictei by the Observer in the
Signal Service Bureau on Saturday, for which the
signal was displayed on the Eqnitable Building at
8 o'clock that evening, began about 1 o'clock yes-

termission ever Eioce. The rain-fall, though not very
great, being but 22-100 inch, has been accompanied
with an east wind, making the weather exceedingly
disagreeable. The storm extends over all the At-
lantic States, and a strong gale is blowing along the
entire North Atlantic coast. Its greatest velocity
was reached yesteiday noon, when it -traveled at
the rate ot thirty -six miles an hour.

TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE TO AN AMUSE-
MENT HALL IN SACRAMENTO — SEVEN
PERSONS KILLED AND A GKEAT MANY
INJUKKD — HOW THE ACCIDKNT OC-
CURRED.
San Fkancisco, Nov. 19.-rA dispatch from
Sacramento says, la^t night, during a perform-
ance at Moore's Opera Hoi^e, the fioor gave way,
killing seven and woundiflg about one hundred'
spectators. The Opera House was situated over a
large livery stable, on Second street, between aK
and L streets, and was formerly used as the State
Armory. It had recently been converted into a
theatre by putting up a callery and tier boxes,
making the hall capable of seating one thousand
persons. The floor was unsupported, nxcept by the
usual beams. A Vaudeville troupe had engaged
the theatre, and, it being the opening of the estab-
lishment, the house was crowded. Soon after the
performance commenced, a sudden sinking of the
floor was notiied, accorapanisd by the cracking of
boams, and directly the entire aaditorium, carrying
with it the stage and gallery, was precipitated
into the s able beneath. Tho rear portion was partly
supported bv the stalls beneath, and the audience
were tnirown f jrward toward the stage. The lights
were extinguished by the conoasiion, and a scene of
great ooDfasioa ensued. The fire alarm was struck,
and lu a f jw moments the firemen were on the
ground, and.with the assistance cf the Police, pro-
ceeded to rescue tho wounded and remove the dead.
A groat crowd had in the meantime assembled, and ■
tbe excitement was intense. Hundreds of people
crawled from the ruins unassisted and uninjured.
Ou clearing away the dfibris, the following were
found dHad: S. W. Perry, Janitor of the Court-
house ; Frank Mvers and W. J". Forster, composi-
tors in the Record-Union offices, Henry Vaca, Ezra
Woolsen. formerly County Treasurer.
Michael Tiernan and two nukuown performers
escaped with some bruises. Eddie Peak, of the
Swiss Bell-ringers, and Mrs. Wilson, a variety per-
former, were also iujured, but neither of them seri-
ously. Many of tho wounded taken from the ruius
are in a critical conditioa, and a number of them
will probably die.

I CRKW.
, . Early on Saturday eveTiiag, six men, -whose
appearance and «arb betokened that ttiov were
nllera, entered the Pifth Preolnot Staclon, in
Leonard atiest, and lul^ed the ofiSoial In obarfio
it- whether theyconld be afforded food and shelter
' onUl Honday, when it wa» their intention to start
far Boston. They were, they said, a portion of the
' crew of the ship JFrancia B. Sage, Cantain Andre,
■which sailed from Bangor, Me., three weeks ago,
\»lth ft oareo of machioery, Inmber, ana coal for
the Western Islands, and which foundered near ihe
Saake. seven days af cer leaving port. The men
cave their names as William Smith, Francia Pris,

and Joseph Petty. Their reqaest r.ir lodgings was
oomplied with, and to a reporter of The T1ME8, who
Tiaited tbem yesterday, cue of the shipwrecked men
gave the following narrative of their mishaps : Oar

of twenty men, were shipped in Boston and

DB. A. H. PARTKtDGK.
The ftineral ceremonies of the Protestant
Episcopal Church were yesterday performed over
the remains of the late Samuel T. Maddox, at
Christ Church, m Bedford avenue, Brooklyn. Not-
iritbataadiog the iuclement weather, the church
waa crowded to Ita utmost capacity by the fiiends
of' ' the ' deoeaaed. Among the assemblage were
prominent officers of the Custom-house, with whom
Che deceased associated during' his conneotlon with
that institution; representatives of the Corner-
atone Lodge of Free and Accepted liasons ; numer-
ous delegates from the Fourteenth Ward Republi-
can Association of Brooklya, of which the deceased
had been a member, and very many prominent citi-
seos of New- York and Brooklyn. At the opening
(f the service the casket, containing the remains,
waa borne up the centre aisla of the church, pre-
Wded by Eev. Dr. Partridge, and the following pall-
bearers: Gen. Philip S. Crooke, Hon. Demas
Strong, Aithony F. Campbell, Frederick Co^
ihen. Samuel F. Blatcbford, Alexander Hender-
son, Francis B. Fisher, ana John Jeffers. Reaching
the aanctnary, the casket was placed on a bier in
&«nt of the cnancel. It was cf rosewood, orna-
mented with heavy silver handles and knobs, and
bore upon the lid a solid silver pla>« with the t'ol-

, The lid was completely hiaaen by the wealth
of costly flowers with 'which ic was dressed.
While the casket was being borne to the chancel,
the processional, beginning ■- 1 am the resurrection
smd the life," was pronounced by Dr. Partiidse,
•nd aa it was laid on the bier, the choir cbaated
the selection beginning, "Lord, let me know my
end, and the number 01 mv d&yi." After the read-
ing of a selection trum the fitteenth
chapter df the First Corinthians, the
choir ^ng the hymn, "Asleep in Jesus, blessed
•lecp, trom which none ever wake to weep."'' Dr.
J^rtridge then stepped to the reading-desk and
aaid: "I - cannot conclude this service
irlthoat saying a word cf our departed
brother. That sleep, to which allusion has been
zoade, is now his sleep. We are all familiar
■with his life. He was a self-made mun — a
man able to command the respect and admiration of
his' fellow-men, and a man who exercised Lis
vanons public duties with due regard tor the Gov-
emment. Hb was honest, upright, sincere, kind-
hearted, eeneious to a fault. Of his woric in life I
need not speak, tor we are all familiar with it. It
is done, and now he has cone to rest. Ue sat beforo
me here lor vears, and now that it is is my duty to
Bommit his ashes to tne eartn, I parform it with the
hill assurance that he has lei'i me lor a blessed
immortaiily, < and to stand amon;; the
blessed of the Lord. As a father he was both kind
and loving; as a friend, I knew him to be as true
as steel, and as a citizen, one who commanded uni-
versal jespect. If he has fallen asleep, I know it. is
but to wake up again at that sweet voice of Uim
who has said: "He that believeth in Me shall
never die ;" and we shall see him again when we
ihall have passed the dark waters. After the pro-
BOODcing of the commitment, the frieuds and rela-
tives were accorded the privilege -of viewing the
remaiaa for the last time. At the conclusion of tbia
ceremony, the remains were removed from the
Bhurch and conveyed to Cypress Hills Cemetery for
Interment.
WAITING FOB TWEED.
•Warden WatBon, of the Ludlow street prison,

his return to his old quarters, and patiently awaited
last night his transfer from the frigate Fracklia to

feoeived by hioa, however, and he stated to a Tdies
reporter, at a late hour, that he did not believe that
kny pilot would consent to brine her over the bar
jtt Sandy Hook in the face ot the storm then pre-
vailing. Warden Waisin says that he has received
no special orders m regard to the treatment ot
Tweed, and unless tie does, he will treat him the
same as the other prisoners confined iu thelaii.
He thinks that Sheriit .Conner will be gieatly
pleased with the restoraiion of the fugnive to tiis

to him to escape during the Sheriff's term of office.

A NEW CHURCH DEDICATED.
THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH AT
FIFTY-FrFTH STREET AND SECOND
AVENUE DKDICATED BY BISHOP HAR-
RIS— THE EDIFICE ERECTED BY THE
PASTOR.
Bishop Harris, of the Methodi8,t JEpiscopal
Church, yesterday dedicated a new church in
Fifty-fifth street, corner of Second avenue, which
has been built by Eev.C. Blinn at his own expense,
not less than ?40,0U0. The histety of Mr. Blmn's
missionary labors among the German population
in this part of the City is deeply interesting. Mr.
Blinn has, through industry and skill as an archi-
tect and builder, realized a respectable competency^
A few years ago he commenced to preach and work
as a missionary among his countrymen,, and his
labors were- crowned with success. He occupied
Dengeldeen's Hall, in Second avenue, and
there formed a congregation, established a
Sunday-school, and carried on vigorously
the work of evangelization. About two years ago
he conceived the idea of building a church at his
own expense, and, with that view, purchased the
siables and club-house of William U. Tweed. These
he demolished, and having drawn the plans and
spftcifloations for a church which gives accommo-
dation to about five huntired people, besides a fine
large room underneath f r a Sunclay-3obool.
he set about the work of construction.
The church, a substantial, unpretending,
but artistic building, was. as has been
stated, dedicated yesterday. There was a large
gathering of Germans aud others interested in the
good work being done by Mr. Blinn. The proceetl-
ings commenced with singing in German a hymn
of welcome, after which Eev. W, Swahlen, now of
Philadelphia, wUo buUt the first Germen Methodist
Bpiscnpal church in this country, offered prayer 10
German. Addresses in German were afterward
rtelivered in German by Brothers Quadlandor and
Gost, and in English by Dr. Crawfird,
Geb. Fiske, the Pastor, and others. The
f irmal ceremepny of handing over the church as a
gift from thePaster tothe Trustees on behalf of the
congregation followed, and the dedicatory service in
German, with more singing and appropriate ad-
dreasei. brought tbe proceedinge to a close.
TBE OllVROH MISSION TO DEAF MVTES.
~ The fourth anniversary ot the Church Mis-
sion to Deaf Mutes was observed last eirening at
St. Ann's ohnrch, 18th street near Fifth avenue, the
audience being very large considering the inclem-
ency of the weather. The exercises were observed
with the regular service of evening prayer, conduct-
ed by Eeva. Mr. Kraus and Mr. Siegamund, Eev .
Dr. Gallaudet, the founder of the mission and its
general manager and rector, acting as interpreter
to the deaf mutes. Dr. Gallaudet presented tne
fourth annual report of the Mission Society. The
receipts of the year have been 58,458 49 of which all
but S125 78 have been expanded. The expenses of
the home foraged and infirm deaf mate.*) were in-
cluded in this statement. Tbe report also
sketched the history of the Deaf Mute Mission,
and gave numerous facts to show that the work of
the society was in a floarisbing condition.
The Churoh was coming to take an
increased Interest in the inissiun, and there
was ground to hope that in a short
time the means at tbe disposal of the sooiety will
be materially strengthened. Dr. Potter, of Grace
Church, followed Dr. Gallaudet with a short address,
in which he said .something of the growth of the i n-
terest in deaf mutes which he had marked in the
church since his corKectiou with it. He also
sooke of the wonderf iil perfectness of che sign lan-
guage, the natural language of the deaf mute, and
read extracts from a recent discourse ot Bishop
Steams, of Pennsylvania, in which an elaborate
account of the progress of the education of the
deaf mutes was given. The annual reception of
the Home for Aged and Infirm Deaf Mutes will be
held on Wednesday next at the Hume, No. 220 Easti
Thirteenth street.

MISSIONARY WORK.
The twenty-ninth anniversary meeting of the
Missionary Association of the Sabbath-school ot
the Thirteenth Street Presbyterian Church, (Dr.
Burchard's) was held last nlgbt. The exercises
were extremely interesting, and the attend-
ance numerous, considering the ioclement
weather. The reports of the Secretiry and
Treasurer of the Missionary Association
proved that the organization is full of lifj aud
power. The Secretary's report showed that the
atisociatiou's aid to sustaia Sabbath-achnols, and
other missionary enterprises in the Southern,
South-western and Western States, and iu
oriental countries. Somestatoments made iu-J.eitters
from missionaries were quoted iu the document
and were extremely intertsliag. From these it
was learned that those Christians that used to
atiend Gjspel serviues \vi:h their boot-legs
encumbeicd with revolvers, ana with knife
hilts Just peeping up above tnelr nfck- bauds, have
in a great measure come under refiniog iDflueuoes,
ana thSugh not yet saints, are aoproacuing real
Christianity. It was also shown that the work of
evangelization is advancing in Persia, whence aa
agent of the association wrote. Besides ita labor
abroad, the association was reported to ba a factor
of the good work that is now being done for the re-
generation of the poor classes of this City, especial-
ly among the Italians and Chinese. Audresses
were made by Eev. S. M, Handiton, of the four-
teenth Street Scotch Church, aud others, and the
exercises were closad with a benediction ijio-
nouncort by Eev. Dr. Burchard.
The Youths' Missionary Society, connected with
Sunday-school No. 53, of the Maoiaon Avenue Bap-
tist Church, celebra:ed its fortieth annivers.try last
evening with appropriate exercises at the church,
corner of Park avenue aud Thirtv-uinth stieec. The
programme consisted of Scripture reading, prayer,
singing, and addresses by Eev. Dr. J. Q. Herr, of
the Central Baptist Church, and Eev, Dr. George
B. Cheever. During the past year tue society
raised $800, which was devoted to iho missionary
workinRjme, Sweden, Maulmain, inBurmah near

SUICIDE OF AN INSANE GIBL.
Emanuel Zobiichek, a Morrisania cigar dealer,
doiac business on Third avenue, between One Hun-
dred and Slxty-fottrih and One Hundred and Sixty-
fifth streets, discovered on Saturday night last that
his daughter, Cudmilla, aged eighteen > ears, had
m>8teriously disappeared. A search for her result-
ed m tbe finding of her dead body in a cis-
tern at the rear of the house. Coroner
Eihnger, who was notified, held an icquest
yesterday, when the friends of the dead girl testi-
fied that she was of a melancholy disposuion, and*
bad frequently expressed a loaciug for deach. Her
father saw her alive for the last time at 7 P. M. ou
Saturday, when aht left the store on the first fiijor
and went up stairs with the evident; intention of
retiring. The jury reudered a verdict of Suici le
■*oiing temporary aberration of mind'.
THE riGTOUY OF FAITH.
The servieea at Trinity Uburch yesterday
were marked by all the imposing ceremonials of
the Epi3copal Church. The Eector, Eev. Dr.
Morgan Dix, was celebrant, aad was assisted
by Eev. M. HuCchings and Mr. Kobinaon, Dea-'
cona. Eev. Dr. De Koven, of Wisconsin,
preached from the first St. Johu, t, part of
verse 4: " Thii is the victory which overcometh
the world, even oar faitn." Tne reverend preacher
dwelt at length on the beauties and benefits of
faith, lie who had fiith could move mountaios.
Faith in the Christian religioa.^t'aitli that believes
that Jesoa is the Son of God, laith ia the immor-
talitv of the soul: wherever sucu taith was found,
there the peace and spiris of The Lord resided. He
who shrinks from tbe creed of the Church, who re-
fuses to believe in the inspirea revelations ot tih.e
Gospels, and conforms not Uia life 10 the Christian
faith, is of all men the most to be pitied, aa he
knows not the beauty of the spiritual world as re-
vealed In the teachings of Jesus — tue Savi jur of the
world — and the faith of the Apostles. There is a mi-
raculous power in tbe words of the text. The Chris-
tran faith is thefiith that overcomes the world. The
lime will soon come when Christian people will
have to practice simpler modes of lite, i^aith does
not preach an extra vagano style of living, or en-
courage false pride or selt-mdalgeiice. Faith is
not vainglorious or boastful, but Kind, charitable,
and forgiving, Uarbonuj; no enuiiry or jealousy, but
giving glory to Gad in all tbiuga.

ARRIVAL OF THE BABK THREE BROTHEK8 AT
HONOLULU— LIST OP THE KKSCURD MEN
ONT BOARD.
From the San Francisco Bulletin Nov. 11.
The Honolulu papers received per Pacific
Mail steam-ship City of San Prancisco, yesterday,
bring tbe news of tbe arrival at Honolulu of the
bark Three Brothers with 190 of the crews of the
whaling fieet abandoned In the Artie. Tbe state-
ments made by tbe masters of the Three Brothers
and the Arctic, which are published In the Honolulu
Commercial Advertiser, are corroborative of the
Story of those masters cf the abandoned ships who
reached this port. The following is an extract from
the statement of Capt. Owen, Master of the Three
Brothers : " We found it a much more icy season
than we anticipated. The latter part of August tbe
ice closed in on tbe land and beset most of tbe fleet
and drifted them to the sastwaru outside of the
ground ice, passing the Point on the 27ih, wtiere
two of ns were aacuored, protected by the ground
ice, yet packed in by a heavy and im-
penetrable body of ice, extending far away
to the north-west, north and north-east,
In this the ten ships were drifting helplessly past.
We lost sight of tbem on tbe 28th, and as day after
dav passed with nothing but ice, ice, to seaward,
our situation began to look serious. Ou tbe 9tb of
September we saw a large party coming from the
eastward, through the lagoons, witn bouts crowded
fall of people to the number of twenty in a boat,
.which told us of the loss of their ships, abandoned,
hopelessly beset in the ice. And they found us ntill
clo-sed in by the same great pack as they had drifted
in for fifty or sixty miles duiing the ten days pre-
vious. And now there seemed grave apprehensions
cf the future, for although there are probably two
or three vessels outside somewhere, yet it was
found impossible to go to the southwest, even to
the end of the ice, or to open water, on account of
there being no boat passage, and the impossibility
of transporting boats over land. So all returned te
Point Barrow, and contemplated Winter quarters,
and forming a sort of co-operative union, to make a
common stock out of tne scanty stock of provisions
on board the four vesselc, namely: Tbe Rainbow,
The Three Brothers. Florence, and Clara Bell, the
two latter lying eight and sixteen miles to the
south-west, bnt just as hopelessly closed in as our-
selves. To help us to live and support life a strong
party was to keep constantly out in tbe boats look-
ing for whales, and catch all that they possibly
could for fiiod for us to eat. All of this and many
more things were thought of and contemplated, and
neglecting to send shore parties to the south-west
to try ard communicate with the outside vessels.
But it was unexpectedly worked out by the hand of
Providence in a much better and brighter way,
even after the manner of His great
work, which eeems to us so convmcing
that over tbe destinies of man a merciful Euler
presides, and to Him be our thanks due. The
winds breezed up from the eastward on the 11th of
September, and freshened by the 13th so that the
Florence set signals that she could be worked out,
and all the wrecked people departed for her. In
the afternoon of that day we saw her get out and
sail away to the south-west. This raised our
hopes that we, too, conld soon get out, but as day
after day passed and did not spring one trap, and
the young ice was making freelv, it began to make
us again view the prospects of an Arctic Winter
here with no pleasant thoughts. All the tithe a
strong easterly gale had been blowing, that we
thought forty-eight hours of such a gale would sure-
ly relieve us, and yet we had It for six days and no
signs of relief. But when we had really begun to
despair, the same Invisible Hand opened for us a
narrow passage, fifty feet in width, and we sailed
out, thankful, indeed, but I tear not in such a man-
ner as we ou iht,
We went immediately down to the Clara Bell for
consultation, and I proposed that, as the Florence
had been gone four or five days, and not thinking
that we should find her, to release Capt. Cogan
from going, aud leave him to pursue his season, and
I would take nil the wrecked people on board and
look for the Florence, and, failing to find her,
would take them to Honolulu as quick as I could
go, and, if Capt, Cogan should get ^enough oil to
make him up 1,000 barrels, that the Rainbow should
give the Three Brothert! one good whale. This was
agreed to by all, and each expressed himself per-
fectly satisfied, and, wishing Capt. C. better for-
tune, we Itft him to pursue his whaling, while we
went to look for the Florence, and tbe result was
wo did find her, and took on board one-half his peo-
ple, and proceeded to St. Lawrence Ba}% made all
final arrangements and sailed fur our respective
ports of drstinatioii, and were in company until we
came out through the Goimack passage on the 27th
ot September.
Capi. Owen continues : My season's C4tch is as ;
follows : 1,050 barrels walrus oil, 650 barrels bobead '
011.12,000 pounds whalebone, 5,000 pounds walrus
ivory. Also reperts bark Raiubow, Sept. 18, with
500 barrels oil and 14.000 pounds whalebone. No
report from Narthern Light or Norman since wal-
ruslug on tho 18ch of July, when they were doing
well.
LOSS OF THE ARCTIC IN THE ICE PACK.
Capt. Benjamin Whitmore tells the story of the
crushing of his vessel, the APotic. as follows :
July 7— rBegins with a thick f jg. Ship still in the
ice. At 7 A. M. the fog lit ting, found we had
drifted about thirty miles to tbe northward ; Sea
Horse Island in sight. At 10 P. M. the ice opened
a little, and the wind breezing up from tbe south-
east. Made all sail and worked the ship to the
south ; clear water about twelve miles off. At 3
P. M. the wind breezing up and hauling to the
south-west, and the ice packing all around us.
Made the Dark fast to a large floe of ice, laying
quite easy until 11-30 ; the ice then beginning to
work aud grind around the bark, one large cake
of ice working and striking the vessel very bard
uoaer the counter. Hearing a lond cracking under
the counter as of nlanks breaking, sounded the
Dumus and found thirty inches of water in the hold.
Started the pumps, and, taking off the run-scuttle,
found the water comiDg in with a rash (each side
of the stern post, about six feet from the water's
edge. It looked as though the wood ends were
started from the stern post each side. Sounded the
pumps again and round the water had gained sixteen
inches in ten minutes. Commenced getting the boats
and provisions on the ioe, the bark fining fast and
the ice grinding around her very heavy. At 1 A. M.
ou the 8th, the ice packed solid around the vessel,
holding her up; ail hands on the ice. The nold
filled 80 quick that we could save but a very small
quantity of provisions. At 4 P. M. on the 9<.h the
ice loosened around the ship, she lell over on her
side, carrying away her foretopmast and loiaintop.-
gallantmast, aud settling fast. At 8 A. M. of the
10th nothing was to be seen of the ship's hull, but
aoout one-half of tbe port side. <

GEN. LOGAN.
WHY TH? ILLINOIS SENATOR DID NOT GO TO
NEW-ORLEANS — HIS VIEWS ON THE
LOUISIANA QUKSTION.
From the Chicago Journal, Hov. 17.
A representative of the Journal called upon
Gen. Logan to-day with reference to the proposition
of John M. Palmer and other Democrats, to leave
the settlement of the present Louisiana question to
the abitration of outsiders. The following is the
substance of tbe conversation :
Reporter — General, why did you not go to New-
Orleans when requested by the President ?
Logan — Bomg a Biember of the United State Sen-
ate, wbere the question may in some shape come
before that body,! thought it was my duty to not
allow mysplf to"be implicated in aay way wi;h tbe
counting of the vote of Louisiana or auv other State.
Reporter — Have you made any answer to the
letter "of ex-GOv. Palmer and others, addresoed te
yourself and other gentlemen, asking a number cf
gentlemen of both sides to be piesent at the count-
ing of the vote of Louisiana by thq Board of Can-
vassers ?
Logan — I was not in New-Orleans when this letter
was published, and the writer must have known it.
If I had made any answer to it, seeing Gov.
Palmer's name at the head of the liit, I should
have called his attantion to his (Palmer's) message
to the Legislature of this State, iu which occurs the
following passages:
" It seems to me| thon, to be clear that all our
free institutions upon the principle that the power
and duty cf the State to preserve order aud main-
tain the laws within its own boundaries are com-
plete and perfect."
I would then have asked him that if his theory of
State rights be correct, what business has he to in-
terfere with tbe administration af the laws in Lou-
isiana 1
Keporter— But what do you think of matters in
Louisiana?
Logan — The presumption is that the peonle down
there are capable of attending to tbeir own busi-
ness, and. so long as they keep witkin tbe laws and
limits prescribed, no oOe has a right to interfere.
Eeporter— But what do you think the proper
mode of canvassing the vote ?
Logan— The laws of the State in regard to canvass-
ing the vote ought to bo comulied with, no matter
wbere it strikes, and I have confidence that this
will be done. A-udifany negro, or bana of ne-
groes, armed with pistbls and shof-gnns, have
taken possession of the polls and driven the white
voters away from the polls, and depiived ihem of
tUo privilege of voting, wueu the whites had a ma-
jioricy, aud smashed ballot boxes in other places so
that tho white voters' ballots shall not be counted,
such polls should be thrown out aud not counted,
under the laws in reference to intimidation and
fraud.
Reporter— But what if the counting out changes
the result J
Logan — Well, what of it. If that is the law tho
people must abide by it until the law is changed, if
wrong.
Eeporter — What about the Postmasters in Wis -
cousin and Vermont who are aaivt 10 be elected as
Electors for Hayes and Wheeler?
Lotan — I presume that they have resigned their
positions as Postmasters in "'time to secure, their
commissions or certificates as Electors. There is
no trouble on this score. 'The Constituliuo re-
quires a person to be twenty-five years old before
he Ciin be a Representative in Congress. Suppose
a person be elected before he is twenty-five years
old, but arrives at the required age before taking
his seat, I suppose no one would coutend that he
was not qualified uuder the Constitution to take
lii» seat, and be swam in as a member. A very dif-
farent state of case exists when Electors are ap-
pointed having a conslitulional disability that must
be removed by act cf Congress. This is a disabili-
tv that can neiti,er be removed by lapse of time nor
by resignation, and the Democracy nad better be
concerned about some of their Electors South than
bowling about Postmasters that can pat themselves
iu condi tion to act at any tim e.
ALLIGATORS IN FLORIDA.
• The Jacksonville (Fla.) Union, of the 15th
inst.. says : "Notwithstanding the immense num-
bers of alligators Which have been killed during
the last tour or five years iu this State, they do not
seem to decrease in numbers aa oue would natural-
ly suppose. Captains of steamboats on the St.
John's say that they are still apparently aa numer-
ous as ever, although very large ones are sel-
dom seen now in this pait of tbe State, but in the
marshes and lakes of tho Upper S . John's and all
over the more southern parts i^f the State they are
still found iu large numbert. No one eeems to
know the length of lime required for an alligator to
come to years of oiicretlou and size, aud u there
are an V marks by which the age uan be known,
they are keot secret, but i; i» certain that they are
prolific in their increase, a neso often contain-
ing two hundred eggs, most of whiah hatch
and, unless destroyetl by violence, a large porpor-
tiou of the youBg are raised, A few years since,
the skins were in demand at from fifty cents to one
dollar each, and thousands were slaughtered. In
one instance, a single individual killed within a
space 01 five months .over oue thousand to fill a
contract, but as that species of leather soon went
out of fashion the bubiuess declined, but seems to
be reviving again somewhat. Another inducement
to tbeir capture is tho teeth, which frequently com-
mand high prices, and are a standard ani'cle of
commerce In the Southern market, mostly for
ornamental purposes. The largest Florida alligator
of which 'the writer has been able to obtain an au-
thentic account, measured eighteen feet in length.
Those exceeding fifteen leet aro very rarely seen iu
thi« State."

MARRIAGE IN MICHIGAN.
The Detroit Tribune of the 14th inst. says :
" The marriage of Miss Florence M. Bagley,
daughter of Gov. Baglev, to Roger M. Sherman,
Assistant United States District Attorney of New-
York, toon place at the Governor's residence at 5:30

troit, assisted by Rev. Cbar.es H. Brigham, 6t Aun
Arhnr. nerforming the oeremouv. Mr. Edward L. ..
Shepard, of New-York, a'o&d as eroomsmaa. and
Miss Kmma Kice, of Jaokson, as bridesmaid. Tha
^gubernatorial mansion was profusely decorated
with flowers for the occasion. A veranda had been
transformed into a conservatory, which was peo-
pled with a beautiful array of rare hot-bouse plants,
while the spacious drawing-room, ball^ and library
were literally embowMed with exotic*. ^ The pres-
ents were many, elegant, and costly."
A TOUNO FEMALE BUBGLAB.
Ella Larrobee, eleyen years of age, residins
on the corner of Central avenue and Grove street,
Brooklyn, was arrested yesterday afternoon by De-
tective Brady, of tho Sixth Subprecinct. charged
With burglary and attempted arios, ia bavtog
broken into the basement of Mr. J. C. Faulkner's
residence. No. 225 Stwjkton street, in that city, on
Saturday aftemooo, and stolen several articles and
set fire to the premises. Word was set to Fire Marshal
Keady, and that officer went immediately to the
Station-house and procured tbe girl's statement. She
said that sbo went to Mrs. Faulisner's house on
Satturday afternoon, and played with tbe children
until about 5 o'clock, when Mrs. Faulkner went
out. Ella then j;ot permission ITom the lady who
lives nesrt door to go throujth hei bouse into Mrs>
Faulkner's back yard. She said that she wts
all alone, and that sbe pulled off tne
screen from the cellar window and . jumped
down upon the coal. She then broke the
side-light of the back hall hoor. and tried to pull
back the bolt with a hoe. In this she failed, and
then sbe squeezed through the opemng, which is
less than ten inches wide. Having gained admis-
sion to tbe kitchen sh'eproseeded to gather together
the articles which she said had tempted her to
break into the house, which consisted of a doU, a
doll's carriage, and several articles of dolls' cloth-
ing, and a water-proof cloak, the latter article
being taken only for the purpose of wrap-
ping the others up. She saw several other
articles there, among them some silver spoons in a\
closet, but she took notblog but the doll and doll's
outfit. She denied that she kindled any fire any-
where in the room,. or that she disturbed anything
else, or that she went there for an.y other purpose
than that of getting possession of these articles.
There were also two little toy trunks in the room,
filled with toys, but those she did not molest. One
of the trunks, she said, sat near tbe stove, in which
there was a very hot fire, and the gas was burning
in the room. It was tamed down, she
said, and sbe did not disturb it m
anyway. The trunk, which was near the stove,
had a lot of papers scattered about it. She did not
touch any kindling-wood or matches, nor did she
notice any basket of kindling-wood in the room.
Fire Marshal Keady says that Ellen is a very
bright girl, and that the people with wham sbe
lived, at the corner of Central avenue and Grove
street, are hot her patents. Notwithstanding her
remarkable story, and her positive denial of having
set the place on fire, tbe fact nevertheless remains
that a fire had been kindled on the oaroet. and also
iu one of the trunks ; and that, but for its timely
discovery, the bouse and its contents would have
been destroyed.
KENTUCKY BRAISE OF DAVIS.
The Louisville Globe, a Tilden paper, prints
a letter from Fairview, Ky., dated Nov. 15, In
which the writer says: "Athens, Sparta, and
Carthage proudly boasted of their many warriors
and statesman born within tbeir respective limits.
The quiet little village of Strattord-upon-Avon re-
joiced in being the birth-place of tbe immortal
Shakespeare. Stratford, of Old Dominion, oame in
for share of tbe histonans' notes on account ot her
treason. Hanover, becaiise she gave to toe world tbe
great R. E. Lee, also claims her place in the bright
list of American celebrities. MTount Vernon, upon
the ban bs of the classic Potomac,' heads the list of
sacred spots by reason of her silent jewel. This
village, too, is historic; sbe has her charms and
classic associations to be excelled by none. In the
suburbs of Fairview may now be found a pleasant
little cottage. Within the walls of this cosy cottage
was boi'u one who has written as able State papers
as, perhaps, any American statesman— Jefferson
Davis, liberty's last champion — who Pas been sorely
tried by the stern adversitlea incident to the late
war. While Longstroet .and others have proved
recreant, this good man has proved true and un-
swerving."
RAIN-FALL in NEVADA AND UTAH.
The San Francisco Bulletin of the 10th inst.
says: "The record of rain-fa^ and temperature is
gathered at all prominent stations of the Central
Pacific Railroad and collated in the office of the
Chief Engineer. From these records, kept at nine*
teen stations from Reno to Ogden, and inoluding
these places, for six years from July 1, 1870, to July
1, 1876, it appears that there is in Nevada and Utah
an average of 7 20-100 inches of rain-fall per an-
num. The lowest is at Wadsworth, which aver-
erages 2 50-lCO inches, and the highest at Welle,
where the average is 13 51-100 inches per annum.
For the year ending July 1. 1871, the average rain-
fall was 4 51-100 inches ; 1872. 7 52-100 Inches ; 1873,
7 51-100 inches; 1874, 7 51-100 inches; 1875,
7 81-100 inches, and 1876, 8 59-100 inches.
From these figures it would seem that
there can be no successful cultivation In Ne-
vada and Utah without irrigation. It appears to be
demonstrate*^ in California that farmers cannot rely
upon average crops of grain or other farming prod-
ucts unless tbe average rain-i'all equal 20 inches, ex-
cept in the coast confities wbere there are logs."
DEMOCRATIC VOLUNTEERS.
The Boston Traveller of Friday says : " We
understand that some of the Massachusetts Demo-
crats have been to Gov. Eice and volunteered tneir
aervicea for the maintenance of peace in case the
threatenings of violence coming from certain South-
ern Democrats are enforced In action. Declaring
themselves to be Democrats, still, under the cir-
cumstances, being honest, theV are convinced that
Tilden's effort now to obtain the Presidency is un-
warranted in jnatice and in law. They are for the
United States as against tbe ambitious schemes of
any man or any party."

FKOM REPUBLICANS IN FLORIDA— NO
©OCBT OV THK REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
The public interest in South Caroliha has
eoQBiderably Sbated since the official dec-
laration that the State had gone for
Hayes; bat the local politicians there
are still in 8U8i)en8e about the Gov-
emorsbipt on which from the outset 4-
their hopes and fears have been main-
ly ooDcentrated. With the South Carolina
Democrats, the question was Hampton or
Chamberlain, rather than Hayes or Tilden,
and it is mainly to save Hampton that the
motion to restrain the Board of Canvassers
firom exercising judicial functions has been
pressed by tnem. The decision of the court
on this point was not given yesterday, and
the board had not completed the count of
the votes when it adjourned till to-day. Our
dispatches from Lonisiana show with what
a sense of the deep responsibility resting
upon tbem the Returning Beard has com-
menced its work. The board meets in the
Senate Chamber of the State House; repre-
sentative committees from both political
parties are ptesent ; the proceedings are re-
corded by stenographic reporters, and coun-
sel are in attendance to ar^jue disputed cases.
The count will first be made of the votes of
all parishes aboat which there is no contest ;
wheathis has been done the disputed returns
will be taken up. and on these witnesses
and counsel will be heard pro and con. The
rules under which the board acts are strictly
defined by law., In Louisiana, however, the
local Democracy are more interested iu the
success ot their State than the National
ticket; though it is aUeged that proposi-
tions have been made to Packard that the
State shall be given to him if he will
give it for Tilden. It seems clear that
propositions of this cha acter did not
come from Louisiana Democrats. The old
"state rights and sectional feelings are still
stronger in the South than unobservant
people might suppose. From Florida we
receive a statement trom visiting Kepub-
licans giving very cogent reasons why they
decline to publish the figures on
which they base their claims that
the State luis ' goo.e Kspublican.
They show that many counties are so re-
mote that the returns from them cannot be
expected for some days, and that on a former
.occasion, when it became known in Talla-
hassee what Republican majoritv had to be
« jovercome, these delayed returns turned up
with jnst the necessary figures to do it. The
fraud was discovered in time by the .State
officers, but the Republicans do not wish
to expose themselves to a like danger this
time. The excitement which the prolonged
contest has occasioned throughout the
ooontry has not unnaturally aUumed some
people with the ideas of possible riots and
disturbances, and the movement of United
States troops has been watched with much
interest. Some few companies have been
sent to Washington, and this has furnished
the batds tor sensational dispatches. It will
be seen by our reports this morning that
the troops are brought to the capi-
tal because a riot there, or some like
disturbance, is a possibility, but scarcely a
probability. Yet if it did occur, and quiet
people were to get their front windows
smashed, and some their heads broken with
bricks, there would be a loud howl all over
the country if the Government had negti
lected to provide a sufficient force to keep
the peace Ail onr iuioru)<|(tion continues
to point to the success of the Republican
^tional candidates. '

fb Hon, ZacHariah Chandler. Cliairman Se-
publicaii. JSati<j-aal Commitlee, Washington,
^ D. C. :
f We have been frequently asked to give
the fizaies of the electoral vote of the State as
claimed by the Republicans. We have
declined to do so for the following
rea»ou8, solely : Offiu-ial returns have
beea received from thiriy-two counties out of
the thirtj--nine, ami until all are in we are un-
willing, and tbmk it unwise, to give our ander-
stan:lin<; of the fijiuros, oocause of tlio yjosaibiii-
ty of the tigares in the Democratic counties
shil behind bcia-; aufficieutly changed to alter
the r:8ult. We do not uecessariiy impute to
any one a deaii;n to commit fraud, but it is
enough that such a tbi lit; is possible, and not
onkuown here or eUcwhere — as in the case of
the eleotiou irauda iu the City of New-
Yorjc .^t th-i PieaideTitiul election of 18C8,
and the well-known Tweed circular in
furtherance thereof. In 187J, in this State,
the raj»iu>t of tiie county leturas in favor of
the Demoaratio State ticket nearly one thou-
sand votes was discovered at the last m jmcnt,
and only oounteraoted by the extraordinary
eflfortB vrhicb were made to obtain the original
ti'coinot returns. We feel entirely justified
.in rofiwiugto ffire any inforniation which shall,
ereu in the remntt)«t decree, render any such
fraud possible or d«airabl». The delay in be-
ginning the caarass ansea from three causes:
J'tr«*~An unoertauxty as to whether the
GoTem«r aloae, or the General Board •/ State
the Presidential vote. Tne Democrats have
asked to be heard on this question, aad It is
now under consideration.
/Sfecond— All the returns are not m, which
it 18 claimed by many is a legal prerequisite to
the beginning of the canvass, and if it were
otherwise, yet, for the reasons above stat-
ed, it would be unwise to begin it
until > the returns are received. Not
unfrequently th^ returns trom remoter coun-
ties do not reach Tallahassee for three or four
weeks, and the law allows the General Board
of State Canvassers to wait thirty-five days for
them. In some counties the county canvass,
even, is not required to be made until twenty
days from election.
Third — Frauds or irregularities m certain
precincts are charged by each side against the
other, and it is desirable and proper, if it shall
appear that such questions are to be gone into,
that both parties should have ample time, it
they desire it, to procure proofs.
By the law the General Canvassing Board is
clothed with full powers to correct fraud and
irregularities in the several polls — a provision
of law eminently wise and needful in a
thinly settled country, where elections are
sometimes not conducted with that order and
regularity so generally observed in older
communities. In 1872 the vote of this State
would have been given to the Democratic
State ticket, had not the general Board
of Canvassers, under its judicial pow-
ers, corrected the fraud by which
the Jackson County canvass was made to
show a Democratio vote ot some 400
more than was shown by the original precinct
returni. Thomas Bloxham, the Democratic
candidate for Grovernor. received 939 votes, but
the returns were made to sbow that
he had received 1,339, while the vote of
Hart, his opponent, was reduced from 1,109
to 709. Wails, Reoublioan candidate for Con-
gress, received 1,108 votes, which was altered
to 108. This 18 the county in which a Republi-
can m^orjty of 339 at the lasf election is
claimed to be converced inio a Democratic
majority of 98 this year. In view of
this Democratic fraud, so lately attempted and
so nearly successful, and of well-known frauds
elsewhere by that party, we thmk that the
Democratic assertions that fraud is contem-
plated by the Republican members of
the State Board of Canvassers, or
the Governor, should he be legally
the canvassing officer — being made as they axe
without the slightest proof and in respect to
men of henorable and untarnished character —
are wanton, and made with no fair or honest
purpose ; and they should have no weight with
just and reasonable men. The power of this
boardto correct frauds and wrongs is undisputed
by any one. They will act openly, and wdl be
subject to the scrutiny of the whole country,
and no one can ask anything but that tbair de-
cision shall be based upon such facts as will
carry conviction to impartial men, and upon
the well settled rules of law and evidence ap-
plicable to 8uch cases; and such we believe
^ill be the action of the canvassers.

By Telegraph from Our Special Corresvondent.
Ni:w-Orleans, Nov. 20.— The more light
there is thrown upon the Louisiana question
the more evident it becomes that the Republi-
cans have carried the State by a m^ority of
about eight thousand votes. Had the elec-
tion been an absolutely fair and honest
one, such a one, for instance, as
was held in Maine or "Vermont, this msyority
would not have fallen below 30,000 votes. That
these statements are true every impartial and
tair-minded man who has examined the matter
freely admits. They will be proved conclu-
sively and to the satislaction of the whole
country before the Returning Board has
completed its labors. And here it may be well
to draw the attention of Northern readers to
the efforts which leading Democrats here and
in other parts of the country are making
to cast discredit upon the witnesses
who are likely to be summoned before
the State Canvassers. Within the past
twenty-four hours, a number of Mr. Tilden's
agents stationed in New-Orleans have been in
dustrionsly engaged in preparing and trans-
mitting dispatches and addresses, iu which it
is stated that the Republicans have bribed
scores of witnesses to swear that they were
beaten and intimidated on and beforpthe day of
election, and that upon such affidavits as these
they hone to have the vote of the so-called
•' bull-dozed" parishes thrown out and the elec-
toral vote of the State counted for Hayes
and Wheeler. Of course stories of this
kind are merely intended to influence
the people of the North. They are
not believed by any sane resident of the cot-
ton States. They ar^ laughed at by every in-
telligent citizen of Louisiana, and yet it is by
these statements, and by others equally
ridicdloiis, that Mr. Tilden now hopes
to influence the public mind in
favor of his cause. Indeed, I am
assured upon undoubted authority that the
stories referred to are being circulated by the
great reformer's express order. He and Mr.
Hewitt have sent a number of dispatches to
their friends in the South, in which the tollowing
expression occurred : "We must getthe people to
see this thing in the proper light. If they once
get an iaea into theur heads, nothing can drive
it out." There can be no doubt that the idea
which the wily and unscrupulous Mr. Tilden
wishes to get into the public mind is
that he has , been elected President of
the United States. He may succeed
in doing this, but he can never bring a fair-
minded and impartial citizen of the South to
believe that he bas honestly carried the State
of Louisiana. There are scores of lawyers and
hundreds of newspapers engaged in the
task, but even with their aid he will be
unable to remove th<i bloody traces of the po-
litical murders and outrages that have oc-
curred in the Red River parishes of this State.
He may be a great refocjner, but no reform
wdl atone tor, or wipe out the massacres of
Coushatta, Vicksburg, Eufala, New-Gascony,
Hamburg. Ellenton, and Edgefield. Mr. Tilden is
a very shrewd man, and he has many quick-
witted agents and followers, but when he
undertakes to prove, as he will soon try to
prove, before the Board of State Canvassers,
and to the satisfaction of the coun-
try, that there have been no political
outrages in Louisiana, he undertakes a
task which he cannot accomplish— a task under
which he wiU sink and be forever buried out of
sight. Indeed, such an undertaking is on the
face of it ridiculous. It would be simply
laughable, were the questions involved of a
less serious character. To prove the truth
ot this assertion I need only refer to
the vote in the five "bull-dozed " parishes of
Estst Baton Rouge, Morehouse, East Feliciana,
West Feliciana, and Ouachita. Two years ago
the Republicans carried the counties named by
a majority of 3,979 votes ; at the last eLction,
according to the returns, the Democrats
earned them by a majority of 4,413 — making
a net Democratic gain of 8,392. Now let any
reasonable being who reads this ask himself
the question— Could such a political change as
this be honestly brought about in any of
the Northern or Western States ? Of
course, the only answer to such a
question must be a negative one. Such
a change would be impossible in the North,
where the voters are nearly all intelligent and
thoughttul men, who vote with care and dis-
crimination. How much more impossible would
it be in a State where every Republican's relig-
ion is to be a Republican ; where hun-
dreds of negroes have died rather
than give up the principles of the party that
made them tree. For the present I will not go
into this subject further, but in a few days, and
after a fuller investigation, I shall
be able to forward such testimony
as will forever put an end to tho
idle Democratic denials of political outrages
in Louisiana. The more light there is thrown
upon the question the better it will be for the
country, for it only needs ligbt and a proper
investigation to prove once and forever that
the " bloody shirt " is not a political myth, and
to show to the country that since reconstruc-
tion, there has not been aa absolutely lair elec-
tion in Louisiana.
The Returning Board commenced work at
noon to-day in the presence of Messrs. Stough-
ton. Tattle, Sherman, Garfield, and Hale, rep-
resenting the Republicans, and Messrs.
Trumbull, Palmer, Bigler, Smith, Ju-
'lian, and Watterson, on the part
of tho Democrats. Before the session com-
nienced it was agreed that during executive
Bessions all persons but the members of the two
natioudl committees should be excluded from
the meeting, and that counsel should only bo
called in when questions ot contest arose.
No one but members of the board will
be allowed to examine tho returns, either be-
fore or after they are opened. The witnesses
will be allowed te attend, however, when the
Committees are accompanied by stenographers,
who will be- allowed to take down the
proceedings in all open sessions. Shortl.y
after these preliminaries had been arranged,
and other routine business fransacted, the
board went into executive session and counted
the votes of Ascension, Assumption, and
Avoyelles Parishes, in which there is no
contest. The count shows a total
majority for Ha.yes of 975 votes, and the elec-
tion of six Republican members of the Legisla-
ture. This IS a gain of three. Last year As-
sumption Parish was represented by two Dem-
ocrats, and Avoyelles by one Democrat and
one Republican. It is perhaps unnecessary to
state that there w.»a no "bull-dozing" in any of
tho parishes named.
Among the many wild rumors which have
been flying around the city to-day is one to the
effect that the notorious Pinchback- and ex-
Gov. Warmoth have entered into a com-
pact to defeat their common enemy,
Packard. I have not been able to trace
the report to any trustworthy source,
but there is no doubt that Warmoth is very
intimate with two members of the Returning
Board, and that he would do everything in his
power to defeat Packard. Regarding Pinch-
back's claim that the same Legislature
which elected him also created the Re-
turning Board, and that consequently he
was entitled to a seat in the
United States Senate, there has been consider-
able excitement in pohtioal oir.ole8 to-day.
This evening it was definitely ascertained that
Pinchback's claim was a false one, for
the law under which the present board
acts, was passed by the Legislature of 1872, and
non b.y the illegally constituted one which
elected the would-be Senator. The city is very
quiet, and most of the merchants and business
men have resumed their usual occupations,
with the conviction that Rutherford B. Hayes
is President of the United States. H. C.

EMPHATIC DENIAL OF THE GENERAL PRESS
DISPATCH CLAIMING THAT THE STATE
HAD GONE DEMOCRATIC.
Svecial IHapatch to thf New-York Times.
Washington, Nov. 20. — A private dis-
patch received here to-night from a trustworthy
gentleman in New-Orleans states that the gen-
eral press dispatch printed this morning,
claiming the election of Nicholls and the Dem-
ocratic Electoral ticket, is wholly unfounded.
This gentleman gives no details, but say& the
Republicans are confident that the Democratic
ticket will be found to be largely in the minor-
ity when the returns are finally counted. This
dispatch was received here in reply to one
in reference to the correctness of the press
dispatch referred to. Senator West declines to
have the name of his correspondent published,
but expresses full confidence in his judgment
and veracity.

Svecial Dispatch to the New- York Times.
CiNCiKNATi, Nov. 20.— The Gazette of to-mor-
row will contaiii tne following : Hon. Stanley Mat-
thews returned from New-Orleans yesterday, and
we bad a brief conversation with him at
his o£B.ce in regard to the situation in
that State. He bad neither time nor Inclination
for a full interview, but will probably give to the
pablic, to-day or to-morrow, his personal observa-
tions In that State. Whatever Judge Matthews
may state from bis own knowledge, or as the result
of hia personal investigation, will have weight with
the people. In the meantime, we ate permitted to
say that it is the opinion of Judge Matthews
that with a free and tair election Louisiana is
beyond question a Bepablican State ; that a fair
canvass of the votes according to the laws of that
State, and aooording to justice and right, vrlll give
the electoral vote of the State to Hayes ;
that th§ election as conducted in many
of the parishes waa a farce and a
fraud upon popular government; that the face
of the returns, including those of the intimidated
parishes, will show a majority for the Democrats of
not over 4,000, but a revision of the returns as re-
quired bj' law will give the Kepnblicans a decisive
maloritv ; that the mistakes in regard to Ee-
pablican Electors In one of the parishes, will
not amount to over four hundred votes, and
will not affect the general result. The Re-
turning Board, he believes, will act
fairly and impartiallv, foUotring the letter and
spirit of the law. The evidence in regard to vio-
lence and intimidation in many of the parishes is
overwhelming. As an illustration may he men-
tioned the case of one voting precinct, where the
colored men were marched to the noils between
lines of armed white men, and compelled to vote
the Democratic ticket, and then marched
to another plaea where they received certificates
that they had so voted, which were to protect them
from violence. That the action of the Returning
Board ought to give the State to Hayes, and that it
ought to settle the controversy in the miuda of all
fair and intelligent men, he flrmlv believes ;
but that the Democrats, as a party,
will 10 accept the result he has grave
doubts. The evidence ot fraud, and violence, and
inlimtdatioD, however, will be tuUy reported, and
the people of the North will have an opportunjt'v to
judge f ir themselves. The members of the Keturn-
ing Board are fair men, and are as fully entitled to
confidence as any board that might be ■elected for
alike purpose in this oit.y. Dispatches are sent to
the North from New-Orleans by Demo-
crats of that city, who do not believe
what they telegraph. It cannot be denied by any
candid or fair-minded man that Louisiana is a Re-
publican State, and that an election conducted
without violoace or intimidation or fraud would
have placed the result beyond dispute. This is
known to Democrats as well as Republicans,
bnt the former sec out to carry the State for
Tilden at all hazards, and without regard to
IbW, iustice, or human life, and thov are tot now
disposed to give it up. Where there was peace at
the votiiiK precincts- in what are call e.rt ihe "ball-
dozod " parishes, it was the result of vioit-iico and
intimidation that preceded, and where colored mou
voted the Democratic tickutthey didsoln most cases
to save their lives. It is the opinion bf Judge
Matthews that if the negroes were in any negree as
vlncuctive, cold-blooded, and cruel as the lawless
whites, the South would be devasted ; bnt the colored
people bear what white people would not endure tor
a day, and they are the victims of their aocility and
fjrbearanoe. The white people of the Southern
States, however, donottalu war. They know too well
what that would moan. They know that there is a
magazine in their midst that if touched by the fire
of civil war vfoulil explode with an effect that woulil
be des ructive and unooiitrcUablo. If tho Nonbern
people want a free Govern meat, controlled by popu-
lar sutfrage, they must stand up for that which ia
right, that which is legal, and manfully insist upon
the enforcement of the Constitution and the laws.
DOINGS OP THE RETURNING BOARD.
New-Orleans, Nov. 20. — At the State-house,
th« Senate Chamber and its surroundings to-day
betokened the approaching session of tho
Returning Board. In the middle of tho
apartment wire arran£;ed three tables in
a circle, one for tho Returning Board
and the others for the Bepnblican and Deibooratio
eommlttees. The oomdors BtirroandiBe the ro-
tiuida Kfiifi ehuBd hcJaarxiiUkdea, gnardad tar_ the
Assistant Sergeant at Arms. A- squad of police
were stationed in the near vicinity of the Senate
Chamber in order to be on band Id case of disturbance.
Toward noon tbe Bepublican and Demporatio
committees entered the room. Representing the
Republicans weriei Messrs. Tattle,- Garfield, Sher-
man, Sale, and istougbton, and for the Demo-
crats appeared Messrs. Trumbull, Pal-
mer, Bigler, G. B. Smith, G. W. Julian,
and Watson. The Returning Board bas
determined to exclude, during their f'xecutlve
sessions, all persons except members of the Na*
tional Committee. Counsel will only be called in
where the contests are raised — that is, where »
contest has been filed or accompanies returns.
Counsel will not be allowed to examine the return*
when opened^ — merely to witness the nnsoaling of
packages. The Democratic Committee on Returns
will have a room iu the neighborhood of the Hall
of Repreaentativei, in order to be within easy
reach of the Senate Chamber. Each of the National
Committees are accompanied by a stenographer,
who will report all proceedings for their respective
committees. When tbe board goes into execntive
session, members of the press will be excluded.
The sessions of the board will continue from day
to day from 10 A. M. until 4 P. M. Clerks of the
board were posted in a room back of the Senate
Chamber. Local committees lepresentlng Demo-
crats and Republicans were present up to the ex-
ecutive session.
The board met at 12:30 o'clock, all the members
beine present. The minutes were read and adopt-
ed. Gov. Weds stated that a system of rules for
the government of the board had been adopted.
The rules were read. The board wlU first take up
tbe parishes in which there are no contests. After
disposing of these parisheis, those will be taken
np in which there are objections. All raotlons,
&c., made by attorneys, must be in writing ; no
oral argument will be allowed. An.y candidate, or
his representative, who presents a witness mast
also present interrogatories. No ex parte afSda-
vits to be received.
Judge Spofford, of coansel for the Democrats, for
the Secretary of State, and other candidates, asked
the adoption of a motion to the following effect :
"That all the procee-linzs of the Board
be held In open session, with leave to
interested candidates to be present by
tnemselves or counsel, and that a reasonable num-
ber of press reporters for each political party be
permitted to attend at all-times." Judge Spofford
urged the adoption of the motion in a short speech,
of which the following are extracts. Addressing
the President of the board, he said :
"Ton, Mr. President, remarked the other day that
your fanctions were partly ministerial and partfy
iudicial. The ministerial duties are few and simple.
They oonsint only m the addition and tabulation
of votes. There 18 no call for privacy in apnlymg
the rules of arithmetic. In performing all the rest
of jour duties — the Judicial duties — publicity is
imperatively demanded. It is essential at every
stasre of the investigation, in order to insure a just
argument, to adopt this order so that every whisper
in vour chamber may be heard to the uttermost
extremity of the Union. Thus and thus only in my
humble judgment will it be possible tor you to re-
assure a perturbed and anxious country, and to
establish through all generations the rishteonsness
of your interlocutory rulings and final award."
Gov. Wells overruled tho motion. The board
also overruled the protest made by the Democratic
Committee on the returns on Saturday, against the
eonntitutionality of the board and its leeal author-
ity to count the Electoral vote. The election to fill
the vacancy in the board was postponed, and the^
recommendation sabmitted by the Demooratio
crommittee laid over.
Gov. Wells stated that the name of Dr. Kennedy
had been submitted to fill the vacancy in tbe board;
that he knew only of one|Vaoanc.y.
The application was laid q^er, subject to calL
On motion of Mr. Kenner, the board resolved to
take up the returns of parishes to the canvass and
compilation of which there had been no objection.
Col. Zacharle, Chairman of the Demooratis Com-
mittee on Returns, entered a protest against the
board's proceeding to canvass the vote before the
vacancy had been filled, there being no Democrat
on the board.
Col. Zacharie made an application for the admis-
sion of the United States Supervisors. He stated
that he had District Attorney Beokwith's opinion
on the subject.
The board decided not to allow tbe United States
Supervisors or r^^sentati^ of the local press to
be present.
The returns of Ascension, Assumption, and
Avoyelles were sent for, and the board wont into
executive session.
Hon, G. W. Julian, who at first declined to serve
on the committee of which Gov. Palmer is Chair-
man, because be then expected to return home, has
consented to be added to that committee, and will
remain here tmtil the pending mvesiigation is con-
cluded.

J3y Telegraph from Our Special Correspondent.
Columbia, Nov. 20.— The court-room in
the State-house was thronged this morning
with citizens anxious to hear the decision of
the Supreme Court on the powers and duties of
the State Board of Canvassers. The Democrats
were represented hy Gen. Connor and h. F.
Youmans as their leading counsel, and by Gens.
Gary, of Edgefield County; Gordon, of Georgia ;
ex-Chancellor Carroll ; Mr. Haskell, Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Committee;
Col. Ryan, of Wianshoro, and
others, as speotatora. United States
District Attorney Corbin and ex-Congressman
Elliott appeared as counsel on the Republican
Bide, and ex-At^tomey General Akerman, ot
Georgia, C. C. Bowen, Republican candidate for
Elector at Large. 8. J. Lee, ex-Speaker of the
Assembly, and a large number of ooloired citi-
zens, were present. Youmans opened the pro-
ceedings by a formal application for an order
requiring the Board of Canvassers to report
to the court the discrepanoies found
to exist in certain counties between
the returns of the County Commissioners, and
those of tbe inspectors or managers of elections.
It appears that when the board commenced
examining the i-eturns. they compared those of-
the Commissioners with tbe managers,
but finding it was going to occupy too much
time, they abandoned it, after completing
four or five counties. So far as they went,
however, the discrepancies tended to increase
the Republican majority, but in footing
up the returns, they confined themselves to the
Commissioners' figures. In response to tbis
application Chief Justice Moses remarked tbat
he thought it was premature. The
board had not yet reported to the
Court, when they did so, it wotdd
be time enough for counsel to object to
the report if there were grounds for objection.
In answer to an inquiry, the Court waa
informed tbat the Board had not completed
the ' examination of returns for members
of the Legislature, and could therefore only
make a partial report. After considerable dis-
cussion on tbe nature and intent of the order
issued by the court on the 17th inst., tbe court
finally decided to adjourn till to-morrow at 11
o'clock, by which time all the returns will bave
been canvassed hy the board, and they will he
prepared to report. During the discussion re-
ferred to, Judge Wdlard took occasion to say that
in his opinion counsel had mistaken the proper
course to be taken in such a case. It should
have been by wnt ot certiorari, which would
bring the whole record of the Board of
Canvassers before the court He did
not think the order issued hy the court
on the 17tb, of much importance
anyway, and he otnly consented to sign
it on the ground that the ceurt was
empowered to issue a certiorari, and such a
preliminary order might £ive information to
the oourt of the status of the parties.
The Board of Canvassers completed the ag-
gregation of all the returns this even-
ing, and will report to-morrow, when
it is expected the Court will decide ou . their
power to go behind the returns, and inquire
into the frauds. It is said that the
Democrats are sorry now that they
invoked the interference ot tbe
court at all, because, if the court should decide
against them, the board will then proceed to
investigata the frauds under the sanc-
tion of the Supreme Court of the
State; whereas, if the Democrats had
not applied to the tfourt, they could go before
the country -with the cry that the Board
of Canvassers is partisan and unworthy
of public confidence. It is worthy
of note that the powers which the
board claims it has a right to exercise bave
never been questioned before, but on the con-
trary the same Democratic lawyers whonow.»p-
pear to argue against the right of the board
to go behind the face of the returns, have re-
peatedly been before the board in past years
in oases of contested seats, and in-
voked the exercise of the very
power which they now deny to the
board. No intimation has leaked out as to
what the decision of the court will be, but Re-
publicans infer from the brief discussion this
morning that it will sustain the board in the
powers heretofore exercised.
Judge Bond arrived this morning, and will
open the United States District Court next
Monday. He will proceed immediately
to the trial of persons arrested for
not and murder during the late
canvass. He says that these trials
will develop the true state of things in South
Carolina during the campaign, and he hopes
the evidence will be pablishedin full in the
Northern papers.
One of those silly attempts of the Southern
Kuklux to intimidate United Stales oflSoials
appeared to-day in the shape of a cofiin in-
closed in a box and directed to Mr. Car-
penter, Collector of Internal Revenue
and candidate for Cengress at the
late elections. It was sent from Prosperity, a
village forty miles from there, by the SoutherB
Express Company.
Affidavits have been sent here, signed
by nine hundred colored meia, in
Edgefield County, saying that they
were not permitted to vote at the late election,
and yet the returns from that county show a
vote of 2,200 in excess of its male citizens over
21 years of ajje, as appears by the census of 1875.
There are upwards of fifty Commissioners and
Managers of Elections and United States Mar-
shals now here, ready to testify to the frauds
in the elections, and the intimidation iu Lau-
rens, Edgefield, Barnwell, and other counties.

WASinNOTON, Nov. i20.~The gathering of
troops .-vt the Arseua! hero has not the slightest
Bi"niricano6 witii respect to any ooniemplated
use to bo made of them. This staietoent is
made bv tho offloials who of nooessity must
know what purposes exist. Probably nobody
expected that Washington would be lefc.with-
out troops during the proceedings iot d»-
termiBing who is President, but/ they
and without A load oijaoancement ol tbe osd«ii.
The general knowledge of tho purpose to have i-
a garrison here ecems to have been understood
by all the members of the Oovemment. lm»
the details were left entirely to the miiitarr
authorities, and they were executed in a mili-
tary manner without making a noise. Iti» aag-
gested that the Gk>vemment have som^ secret
and unrevealed information which has hurried >^
the movements. That may be pcssiblc, and
if so it will remain secret, for it is clearly im-
possible to find it eut, if it is of sufficient im-
portance to be the basis of action. There i&
information, comnion ftverwhere, however, t>o
make it seem very desirable that WaBbiiiKt<>&
should not be left without an armed force.
Probably there is no part of the country aa
teverish and exeited as Virginia and Marylmid.
Waahington unprotected would bo at tho
mercy of some reckless raider, who, organ-
izing a secret irresponsible foroe ot
1,000 men, might deem it a piece of
heroism to pltmdor , and bora th& . -^
city. It is aa d that in Baltifaiore, badges a;»
worn under the coat lappels hj a class of
roughs, labeled " Tilden or Blood," which are
frequently exhibited to friends. It is also re-
ported that a gray uniform and Confederate
flag were publicly displayed and cheered by m
crowd in tbat city. , Hardly a Democrat ctm bo
found about here who promises to submit
peaceably to Hayes' inauguration. A hundred
facts like these, doubtless, are ksown t«
everybody, and it would seem that ,Bot tf
{jay Boine attention to them womld be
gross carelessness. Tbib presence of soldiers
here ''^111 restrain violence and prevent all aU
tempts at sporadic conflicts. It shoald be sai i,
on the other side, that the best informati An ,
from .North and Sooth indicates th&t the ra-
suits of the canvasses wiU be quietly aeqmes-
ced in, 80 tar as the national ticket is con-
cerned. The intensity of feeling among the
old Confederates relates chiefly to their Stats
Governments, which they ears more
about than t^e national. The leading
Confedeirate soldiers ' express a wiUingaess
to reopen, the war, provided the ' Northerm
Democrat^will bes^. They don't want to be
deserted, bytheir political allies, as they were
before, and propose to send them into the figtai
ahead. There is entire oenfidence here tb a|
the forms of law will be complied with, ani
whoever is thus declared President will txe
peacefully inaugurated. If by any cliviaoe
Tilden should be given Louisiana or Fhoida,
there will not be a murmur of violent Gppesi'
tion from the Bepublican Party.

SENSATIONAL NONSENSE — THK 80,1X1
STREETS OF WASHINGTON REPRESENT-
ED AS BEING FILLED WIXH GBRAT
CROWDS, EXCITED OVER NEWS WUICB
KO ONE HAD HEASD.
Special DupaUMo the New-Tork nmetL
Washington, Nov. 20. — ^The foBowing,
sent to the Sun £rom here last night, caused
intense indignation among honest, tztithfiil men
wbohave some care for the country- As it ia
said t« have caused excitement in New-Y^i^ ife
requires notice and denunciation as »
gross fabrication: "The excitement ia tiliis
city to-night over the announcement
ot the arrival of United States troopi
is intense, and can only be compared with thr>t
of 1861, when Fort Sumter was fired np<»i. .Afe
tbe hotels large crowds are assembled, and, in
addition to the citizens of Washington, hun-
dreds of persons from the suiroan^ug
counties are present, who do not beaatat*
to express their feelings of indignation at what
is considered usurpation on tiie part of Grant.
This evening when the' news of the arrival ot
troops became known, throngs ot pet-sous vis-
ited the Arsenal in hopes of obtainuig some in-
formation relative to tbe object of their being
concentrated at this point. But they were on-
able to obtain it, as both officers and men
were in total ignorance," The above statemenl
is as untrue as anything ooald t>e written.
Last mght the city was visited by a cold, heavy
rain, which caused the streets to be completely
deserted during the afternoon and whole even-
ing. The information that troops had anrived
was only knovm to a few newspaper
correspondent*, and even they did uol
go to the Arsenal for information.
The weather kept people at home, even
the ordinary hotel lobb.v loafer.*, and the news
was not known perhaps to a hundred people
here tdl this morning, when it was announoe^
m the papers, or at least till almost everybody
had gone to bed. The streets and all places ol
public resort were never less crowded nor lest
excited in the most ordinary times.
The troops now here will muster about four
hundred men. There are seven compjuiieM.
and one more is shortly expected. The excite-
ment that did not exist last night, because.ti^ ~
arrival of the troops was generally unknown,
has been visible to some extent lo-night.
The Democrats point to the events ol
next February as though they regard the eleo-
tiou of Tiloen by tbe House as assured, in oi»-
position to Hayes declared elected by the Sen*
ate. Then, they say, the troops will indeed bo
needed, but that they are not sutficient to pre-
vent Tilden's inauguration. Such is the gist-"
of the latest talk by Democrats of
the sort that live and congregate in Washine-
ton. The excitement is most extensive, and is
simply indicated by discussiens that are by no
means heated. Ouly the usual number ot peo-
ple'liave been upon the streets. The ordinary
dally business of Congress usually provides fai
more excitement than can be found to-night.

SENOB DEL VALLE'S TESTIMONY.
Oa beiBC awora, in answer to Mr. Choate,
Afr. Sal Taile stated why he left his children iinder
the sicltLsive charge of the plaintiff. He said whan
he retarned to Poaghkeepsie, en Sept. 6, from Sara.
tf>K», he found her mother there. He did not have
anjr eeuversation with the plaintifi on the 8th, and
he had no recollection of the plaintiff having forced
herself into hla room, on the moriiiii,<t of the 8th, to
demand an explanation. He never told the plain ti£r
that he was sending her a^fay for her own good^
and that he woald romain her beatfiiend; he had
ftbaolately no conrer^tion with plaintiff's mother
exeept at the dinner tabl& OnHhe following day he
OOBTersed with her.
Mr. Beach objected to evidence of conversations ■
between defendant and plaintiff's mother, as far aa
U affected his conduct toward plaintiff and the
ohJectiim was SBstaued^
The witness admitted giving the pbdntiff checks '
"lor Iter salary, and money for expenses in thehonse;"
\ he never received or aaKed far any aooonnt how she;
a^eat the money; after he had left for I^ewYork^
ha received from C^ia, (a female servant,) a le(ter,t
wlilcb waa admitted to be i^ the handwriting of'
the plaintiff; tiie letter referred to was that of Dec
14, already prodnced? he had received no intima-
tion of MivthiBK being dne to her for wages or sal- :
vty between Sept. 8 and Oct. 2, and he believed that
nothing was doe her; he had not received any re-
pprt of the nse made of the t50& sent bv CelVa; it
was on Oct. 3 that he retained to New- York; on
the foUowiBft day, while at the Hotel Brnnswlolc,:

On the foilewing day liOas Adele called at the
Jkotel, where she left tbe letter which has already
been pahlisbed ; it was on the 11th of March that
^e took the plaintiff to a concert ; that was his eeo-
,i>bd visit te her boose ; it was at the request of her
XBOthec that he took tbe children to the honse ; the
defendant then *' attsolxitely " denied many of the
aileKatii>ns of the plaintiff; among other things he
laid he never told her to wear the ring he gave
her natii he abonld replace it with another ; he
never aaked her to go to £arope witb him; nor
Bid be tell her . on any occasion that
he needed one to watch over his children;
he sever said he bad no one in the honse to love
them except hilred help ; be never talked to her
about goiDg to Europe, and be never offered to
keacoe her from the cmelty of her atepfdther; the
)Blam:iff never told him that her ^atepfatber bad
chreareaed to shoot her and^ her bosband
If she married; be never "■ offered her
kolmice bekwaen Europe and Saratoga, or to take a .
famse fur her wherever she ploaaed ; be never
teaiated on taking a qaiet, mrsl pl^se ; when she
iras staying at the Hotel Boyal he never on any oc-
laaiOD au vised het- co go home, and he never said it
^ veold look atxaiige if ahe were to retnm to her own
toaae witbont going to bis hoQse; the person who
lad ebarjie of the ksya was a Sefior Alvarez;
be boose (Poaehkeepsie) was always looked op
U nieht, and before the plaintiff arrived the keys
vere left ia tbe locks. When visitors called at his
jiouse, the pLdatiff was always intradnced an liij
hoiuekeeper; never in any other capacity. There
eraa no compromise ; "that is all a romaiKie.''

jeeived ItL or having seen it on bis boreau. He
Herer tookit-down stairs and had a conversation
witb plaintiff aboot itd contents. He never, in

THE DEPBKDAST'S CHOSS-EXAMINATION.
.' Mr. Beach then proceeded with the ccoss-exam-:
Ination at zreat length. /He aoeationed the witneaa
aaost minnteiy as to his knowledge of localities
and the incidents connected with the first and ear-,
ber interviews with the plaintiff . In answer to
jmestions witness at first hesitated to say whether
he bad employed a detective to watch tbe move-
ments of the plaintiff; be admitted that be knew

tesview with the plaintiff the examination pro-
seeded. His mind was impaired with the state cf
bis health, and be was absent-minded anc^did not
feike note »t' localities ; bin eyeaisht was also bad,
' that wan ao additiooal reason why he passed the
■" " which he lived before he met with plaintiff;
sed tbe misliap to tbe plaintiff opou
way ; it was on Broadway, and not on Tvren-
ty-uiDth street; ot that he was certain; the
plaintiff tell down, asaa be was very near to her at

Q. — Why f A. — She was thanking me for my at-
(eu-ioas to her.
Q — \VTiy did yon think It pmdent to eo so far f
A. — Because 1 think I shonid not leave a lady in
the streets while she is talking.
Witnesu proceeded lo say tbat ho absolately did
aotasKiat iilaiutiir while pa8>-iQe the f if ih Avenae
Botel ; all tile time during the walk ahe was tender-
iBg bet thanks: he did not well understand what

nl;niit;tfany lotligoity by word ot act; I " abso-
lUMsiv" never clia ibis at any time; I reproached
bur at home tor not doiue duties ; np to the lat of
'iauf, 1875, 1 esteemed her.
Q. — Wh4t wa.4 the object in making the appoint-
meut opposite Siewart's store) A. — from curi-
osity, and no other teeling.
Q.— How came yoa, on tbe 15th, to take her to
B':l^ri»6' saloon I A. — Becanse It was near; asked
plaiintiff to k<>, sua she said yes; I had been id
Ibe huijit of going there; X had heard "absolately
DOtbioer" about tbe character of tbe place ; somo-
^iiuealbave taken lat.ies tnere, and very
'menieo's either during those dates ; be had been HI
darlne the time. After she kept honse for hiih be
accompanied her once to Delmnnico's; be had been
in tbe habit of taking her to Solarl's two or three
times a week ; be was in tbe habit of giving her
Whatever she asked for; they took wine, but be
himself took very little; she was not intemperate.
The question was put: "Was tbe entertaininont
liberal and eenerous which you furnished af So-
lan's V A. — I allowed her whatever she wanted,
and she ate well and with a relish.
Q.— How old did you think the plaintiff was at
that time ? A. — About twenty-two years of age ;
it was about the 20th of May I went to Ponghkeep-
eie ; plaintiff weut about the Istof June ; I had
been in New- York in the interval twice ; I and one
of my children accompanied plaintiff to Pougbkeep-
sie on the Ist of June.
On the 15tb of March he received tbe letter from
plaintiff, relating the outrages of her stepfather ;
he talked to plaintiff as well as he conld about the
sablect. Witbess then explained where he mbt
plaintiff on the dav he took Jier to Pouahkeepsie.
Ha did not think it was right foe plaintiff to leave
her home ; and expl^ned that he did not purolutae
tbe trunk for the purpose of helping her; she
bought the tn»k but he pail for it ; ho accom-
panied her to tnei trunk store, but be was not cer-
tain what kind of a place it was ; be furnished the
money.
Q. '^ -Did yon not nnderstand tbat the purchase of
that tronk was to enable her to leave her luother'a
house ) A. — 1' did not bo snopose ; I paid $16 for
the trunk ; I next saw plaintiff in tbe Hotel Eoyal;
that is my belief, bjut could not swear further; it
^was on the 4th or Stb'day of May I saW plaintiff; I
'vialted plaintiff three or four times at the hotel; I
mat her always in the parlor; none of my children
bad called at the Hotel Hoyal with me to see plain-
tiff.
Witness farther deposed that be was in the habit
of going to the theatre with the plaintiff for the
purposes of practicing English and amusement
combined.
T Q. — ^Did von call upon the plaintiff at any time at
Mrs. Sydney's I A. — Never.
The answer to a c[neatiQn why he did not go and
see plaiuiiff "on the morrow," as promised in a
letter produced, and in which he called her "dear
friend." he said he was sick. The letter waa dated
Jan. 20. It was on Jan. 21 that he went to get the
mended ring, and there he fouDd a card from plaiu-
tiff makine an appointment.
Q.-^Did you know aboax her purchasing the sad-
dle at Poaghkeepsie ? A.— No.
Q.— Was there a man of the name ot Frady In
your eraplny ? A. — Yes ; I was not sittlntc with
plaiDtifif in front of the house when I'rady brought
the saddle
Q.— (Beiai; shown a letter which he admitted
writing) — Xlb yoo understand the import of chis
letter : " I am always readv to belp any person in
distress, but in po way constitute myself the pro-
tector of a person so worthless of my protection ? "
A. — he understood the purport of that letter,
Q. — Who was the friend who helped you to get
np that letter J A. — Mr. iFernsnclez wrote it.
On being shown a number .of receipts fur cab hire
he swore that be could not recollect where he bad
been driven to when the charges were made by the
hour, and not frodt place to place.
Q. — Who is the ladv spoken of as Celia! A. —
One of my servants^ I, knew her tor two or three
years; ain agent in Saratoga furnished me witb

FAILTTRB OB" THE MAYOR TO MAKE A NOMI-
NATION— THE DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY
— TAMMANY HALL POLITICIANS DISAP-
POINTED.
The Tammany politicians were in a feverish
state of excitement yesterday over tbe news tbat
Controller (rrsen's ofScial term had expired at
noon, and that Mayor Wiolcham would probably
nominate John Kelly as his successor. They talked
jubilantly of the ranidity with which the selection
would be approved by the Democratic AlJermen,
who form a majority of the board, and of the patron-
age that would then fall into the hands of their
leader. Whenever it occurred to them that some
obstacle might bo Interposed, they simply replied
that Mr. Kelly conld get the oface if he wanted it,
but ehat it appeared evident that he lK,d not
made up his mind upon the Bubjeot. As a proof
tbat they were right in their conclusions, they
stated that the Mayor would nndoubtedly renomi-
nate tbe Corporation Counsel, Mr. Whitney, whosd
term wiU expire early in December, and that the
Aldermen would n»t confirm Mr. Whitney's nomi-
nation unless Mr. Kelly was nominated for the Con-
treUsrsbip, or in case Mr. Kelly should decline the
honor, then the Mayor wouti have to select a can-
didate about equally acceptable, or Mr. Whitney
wonld not be confirmed. By this circuitous pro-
cess of congenial argument they arrived at tbe eon-
clnaion that the Board of Aldermen and Mr. Kelly,
or at least the Board of Aldermen alone, were
masters af tbe situation.
Mayor Wickham, however, did not seem to thmkv
so. He was intormed of all tbat bad been said
about the Controllership, but at every recital of a
new rumor he became more and more reticent. All
the news— snch as it was— that he vouchsafed to
give waa tbat ho was not in the habit of announcing
bis nominations in advance of their transmission to
the Board of Aldermen, and it mnat be said that he
has steadfastly adhered to this rule since he as-
sumed oflSce. Later in the day the Maybr's reti-
cence had a natural effect. It shook the faith of
those who believed that Mr. Kelly would be nom-
inated. Their curiosity on the subject was in-
creased by the unexpected mystery that surrounded
It. There was, however, one hone lett. The Board
of Aldermen would meet at 2 o'clock ta take
up the • estimates for 1877, ond they thonght
that the Mayor— whose relations witb tbe Con-
troller were supposed to be unfriendly — would make
a nomination and send it to the board, and then they
would discover what name bad been sent in. Ac-
cordingly the Aldermanio chamber was crowded
soon after the board had organized. But each suc-
ceeding hour brought no silutiou of the mystery.
The Mayor's messenger did not appear, as is his
wont when nominatloos are made, witb an immense
ofBcial envelope .Inclosipg lucky names. His Honor
sent in no communication whatever, but went home
at 4 o'clock, regardless of the ^nxiety that pre-
vailed. One of the Aldermen atked tne President
"if he had received any eommnnication from his
Honor the Mayor," but the reply was in the nega-
tive. At 5 o'clock the board separated, like the au-
dience, wondering what the Mayor could possibly
mean by not nominating a Controller.
It was subsequently reported that the Mayor bad
found that there was a legal obstacle in the way of
his nominat ng a successor to Mr.'Green. This ob-
stacle was contained in the twenty-fifth section of
the charter of 1873, which has already boon pub-
lished in The Times, but which, in view of the
events of yesterdaj', will bear reproduction. The
section reads:
Seo. 25. Thd Mayor shall nominate and, by and
with the consent of the tjoard of Altlermeu, appoiac
the heads of depaitmonts and all Lommishiouera save
Commissioners of Public instruction, nndaiso taveand
except ihe following named Commissioners and cfflcers,
-who beld office as such on the brat day o^ January, la
the year one tbous .nd eiglit hundred and Beventy-
thrte, that is to say, the Controller, tiie Commiasioncr
of PuDllo Works, the Counsel to the Corpora uon, tlie
President of tbe i-'epartraenc of Public Paries, and the
President of the Department of Police. * * '
It 13 claimed tbat tbia section elves no power
whatever to the Mayor and the Aldermen to nomi-
nate and confirm a auccosaor to Atr. Green, and
r.hut be alone can hold tbe ofiice until the Legis-
lature shall take such action as ic may deem
necess'iry. It is also claimed that the Stale
Constitution, (article 10, section 5,) provides what
stiall bo done in such oases, because it states that
"the Le.iilature shall provide for filling vaoancius
in ofliue." Under that clause the Revised St itutos,
(uart 1, chapter 5, title 6, article 1, section 4,) pro-
vides :
•'Evpry ofllcer. the mode of whose appointment Is
not provideu oy the Constitution, or ij not or shall ndt
he prescribed by law. shall be nomiiiitod by ihe Gov-
ernor und appointed by him Tfiih ihe coBseut of the
benato."
These are said to be the leeal obatscles that pre-
vented the Mayor trom noiuiuatin^ a candidate lor
Coatroller yosiorday.
There is an interesting story extant in relation to
the twenty-fltth section of tbe charter. It ia said tbat
it was oiiKinally framed to prevent tbo late Mayor
llavemejer trom appointing a puccessor to Henry
Smith, then Preaideutof the Police Board, but that
Air. Havemeyer, having been advised cf the fact,
opDOsed the section until the Controller was in-
cluded in it, believing tbat if the Controller was in-
cluded the City Treasury would be aufj. The other
excepted offices were subsequently adaed lo the
section. Ths report, if correct, would seem toshed
liilbt on the intention cf the Legislature.
The omiitiun ot ihe Mayor to make a nomina-
tion caused a good deal of comment and apprebeu-
bion amoue Democratic politieians last evenine.
All" sorts of siieculalive theories were anvanced
ill <exvlauatiun ot tbe tact. Tbe old story
that the Mayor expected a splendid olBce from
Tilden if he should become master of tbe "White
House and the Federal G'tveminent, in return for bis
omission to nominate a sucosssor to the prSsent Con-
troller, was duly revived, but commanded but little
oiedit— because those who know the Mayor beheve
tbat hi would not nsk anything on such a oontin-
gency.
It IS iikelj that the Aldermen, at their meeting on
Thursday, will have to bear the suspense in relation

THE WOBK QF THE COMMITTEE COHTIITTJED —
THE SUMS ALLOWED FOB COLORED CON-
FERENCK8 m THE SOUTH — AMOUNTS
FIXED FOR DOMESTIC ENGLISH-SPEAK-
ING CONFERENCES — REVISION OF THE
APPROPRIATIONS PRKVI008LY MADE.
The Missionary Committee of the Methodist
Hpiscepal Church met again yesterday mornins and
ccmtinned the fixing ot appropriations for mission-
ary work for the ensuing year. Bishop Merrill
presided, and £ev. Mr. Chesebro conducted the
devotional exercises. The discussion of the amount
to be appropriated for the benefit of the colored
Conferences in Louisiana, which was interrupted
at the adjournment on Saturday, was resumed and
continued to con.tideratjle lenstb. The resnli of
tbe discussion was the appropriation of $6,500
againstJ7,500 last year. Bishop Harris then moved
that this amount be appropriated with the under-
standing that no part of the money shotjld be used
to pay the salary of the editor of the South- Western
Advocate. Bishop Simpson sugcested that the
phraseology of the resolntion be so changed as to
direct that the Missionary Committee and the Pre-
siding Elders of tbe Louisiana Conference should
administer the mooev without any reference what-
ever to the editorship of that paper. Bishop Har-
ris accepted the susgestion. Dr. Hitchcock con-
tended that no Bishop bad any right to sign a war-
rant to pay tbe salary of tbe editor of any
paper out of the missionary monej, and that they
'would transcend their duty and their anthorlry If
they dirt SO; hence, the reaolution was useless, un-
less they were afraid some of their Bishops would
violate the law. He was therefore opposed tb the
resolution, because it was establishing a precedent
which ouebt not to be recoeaized. After further
discussion, Bishop Harris withdrew the motion. It
being understood th^t the money appropriated
could not be used to pay the salary of an editor of
that paper, tbe work of which has heretofore been
done by the JPresiding Elder ot the district, without
extra oompensatlon. At the request of Bishop
Harris, the appropriation to the Texas Coaference
waa then considered, and $4,500 was allowed, in
place of J5,500 last year. The Co'ored Confarence
in West Texas was then taken up, and Bishop Harris
made a statement in regard vo the work m tbat Con-
ference.
Theresalt of the dlsonsiton wa» tbat 55,500 was
appropriated. In lieu of C6,000 last year. Bishop
Harris then moved ^hat, should the Cpnference lines
in Texas be changed, the presiding Bishop of that
Conference should be authorized to make equitable
transfers ot*mi8»ionary money, which was agreed
to. The Committee then went back to the colored
Conference in Mississippi, and ?6,500 was appro-
priated, in place of $7,500 last year. The Savannah
Colored Conference received $3,500, in place of 84,000
last j!«ar. The South Carolina Conference was next
considered, and Bishop Foster spoae of the value
and Importance of the work among tlie coloted
population of South Carolina. There was one very
fine colored church in Charleston, with a member-
ship of 1,700. Last year this Confurenoe received
8Ti500; this year they will receive $7,000. The
North Carolina Conference will receive $6,000, in
placeof $7,000 last year. Bishop Foster also stated
that this was purely a colored Conference, witb the
exception of one district, which was white, and tbe
Conference was a veiry interesting and important
one. The Waibingtoto C )Dferenca got an appro-
priation last year ot $3,500; this year they will
receive $2,5000.
This provided for all the colored Conferences of
the South, and the committee went back to tbe be-
ginning of the list ot domestic English-soeakins
Conferences. Alabama was called, and $3,500 ap-
propriated, aeainst $3,500 last yearr. Akansas re-
ceived $4,000, against 85,00lJ last year. This appro-
priation was made with tbe Dnderstanding that tbe
presiding Bishop could use $500 for the purpose of
transferring preachers if he thought it necessary;
if not, all the money should belong to tbeConfcjr.
ence. Bishop Hams moved that the committee
first select and provide fjr the Conferences
which are purely missionary Conferences, in the
South, and west of the Missouri Kiver, in view of
the f iCt that many of the old Ciiuierences would not
receive suflicient aia to be of any service to them.
The Conferences mentioned must, bqwever, be the
beueficiariea of this sor-iety, and they should be pro-
vided f jr before the $525,000 to be apportioned waa
exliaasted. Tbe motion prevailed, and the Califor-
nia Conference was called.. Las'; year this Con-
lerenoe received S3,500; this year the amount
is fixed at $3,000. The Coluraao Conference,
last year, received $6,000: this year the
amount is reduced to $5,000. Tbe Columbia
Elver Conference received aid to the missianary
work, last year, to the extent of $4,700,
with an addition of $600 for transfers, makinj: a
total of $5,300. Alter a long diacassion. $4,200
was fixed upon as tha^nount to be appr'^priated
this year. The Georgi^TOnferencereceived an appro-
priation of 83,500 list year, this year tbe sum agreed
upon 18 $3,000. Six thousand d'oilars was given to
the Holston Conference last year. This year they
will be compelled to get alontr with $5,000. The
Kansas Conference received $3,500 last year, and
the South Kansas received $4,500. The two Con-
ferences were called together, and the first named
received $3,000, and the latter $3,500. Last
year the Kentucky Conference received $6,500,
this year the appropriation is reduced
to $5,000. The Missouri Conference last year re-
ceived $3,500; this year they raoeive $3,000. Sixty-
five hunurud dollars of missionary money went to
the Nebraska Conference last year; $5,000 was ap-
propriated for the coming year, alter which a re-
cess was ordered until 2 o'clock.
THE AFTEENodV SESSION.
Bishop Seott presided at tbe afternoon session, and
Rev. Dr. Hitchcock was oalled upon to conduct the
devotional exercises. The ^evada Conference was
first taken up, and $2,500 was appropriated, against
$3,500 last year. North-west Iowa Conlerence last
year received $5,000; Bishop Foster, who presides
over tbat Conference, asked for an appro-
priation of $4,000, but the sum was
finally fixed at $4,500. The Oregon Conter-
ence was granted an appropriation of $2,500—
the same as last year. The Kocky Mountain Con-
ference received $10,000 lat year, $1,700 of which
was transferred to the new conference, known as
the Columbia EiverConference, leaving si8,300 to be
tllstribated In the Eocfcy Mountain Conference.
For the ensuing .year the appropriation was fixed at
$6,000. Five thousand dollirs was distributed to
tbe St. Louis Conferenoo List year ; the present
year they wiU get $3,500. The Soatbern
California Conference will receive $2,000 this
.year, aaainst $2,500 last year. Tue Ten-
nessee Conference got au appropriation of $7,0^0
last year; for tbe present year the sum was le-
dnced to $5,000. It is proposed to diylde this con-
ference, and organize a new colored cobforeaoe
within its present boundaries, and a resolution was
pavded uiving the conterence authority to dlvlae
the funds between the two, accnrding to the pre-
vailing ratio. Tlie Virginia Conference last year
received $7,500. Bishop Bowman, penning the di«-
cussion on the work in Virginia, rem.rked that
there were many localities in tbat State where a
Methodist sermon had not been preached in
4wenty tive years. He said that great stress was
being laid op the importance of the colored work
In the Soach, bat, in bis opinion, the best and
surest wa.y to strengthen and build np the colored
work was to strengthen and build on the wors
among the while population of the South. He
thought the committee was touching noon danger-
ous ground when they proposed to crliJplo tbe work
among the white people ot tbe South, especially in
Vitgiaia, and Bishop Ames coincided in that view.
The lesult ot tbe dibcnssiou was that tho amount
appropriated whs fixed at $6 000. Last year tbe
West Virginia Conference reeeived $4,500. Eev.
Mr. Dire, who represeuts that district, asKed for au
appropriation ot i2,500. Bisbep Bowman asked for
an appropriation cf $3, LOO, wbieh rcqueso was
complied with. It uoing amiouiioed that
only about seven thousand dollars of the
$525,000 now remained to be disposed of, it was
finally agreed to go back and take up tbe list
alphabetically, and pass upon the ctinfcrouces lying
on the northern border of the Siaie, and in the
Lake Superior region, not yet acted upon. Ia
pursuance of this order, the Detroit Conference
was called, and Rov. Mr. Barnes, tbe representa-
tive of that district, asked thu committee to take
up tbe Detroit and the M.lchlga« Couferences, and
act upon them together. This was done, ami ihe
Detroit Conterence received $1,500, and the Michi-
gan Confjveuce leoeivod the same amount. Last
year they received $2,000 each. Tbe East
Maine Conference was voiod an unpropriailon of
$1,500, agaiust $2,000 last year. The Maine Coufor-
enuu received $1,400 last year ; the preseut year's
appropriation V as fixed at $1,000. Tbe Minuesota
Conterence received i7,500 list year; this year tbe
ami/unt was fixed at $5,000. The vote appropria-
ting $1,000 to Maine was then reconsidered, and
that conference and Vermont were passed for the
present. The West Wisonsin Conlerence re-
ceived $1,500, agaiust $2,800 last year, and Wiscon-
sin receiyed ^l.uOO, against $2,500 lasi year. It was
hero announced that the appropriaiious al-
ready made had overrun the amount agreou
upon more than $5,000, and ic was agreed
to go back again, and go throuijh tho list uluha-
betically. and disnose of the remaining couterences.
Bishop Foster stated that there were thirty-eight
conferences yet to be provI;led for, and he thought
it nonsense to think of giving them anything les^
than $500 each, which would involve a scoring
down of every single appropriation thna far made.
Dr. Fowler said that, as a member of the sub-com-
mittee whioh reported npsn the amount to be ap-
propriated, be felt morally honnd to keep wltbiu
bounds of the $525,000 1 and he thought the only
and see where they could reduce the aggre-
gate amount to the sum agreed upon, iftiA there
let It rest. Dr. Keld called the attention
of the committee to the needs of the work in various
localities, and said that he feared tbe leaving -out
of so many conferences where tbe society had
always relied upon procuring the bulk ot tbeircol-
leoiions, wonld seriously afi'ciCt those collections.
It was finally agreed to take ud the 'list already
passed upon, and see where they conld reduce the
sum already appropriated, to bring it within tbe
limits. On motion of Dr. Hitchcock, tne
$5D0 appropriated to the Arkansas Conferences, as
contingencies was stricken oft. Five hundred dollars
was also stricken off the approprlaiion to Colorado,
ana $200 from that to the Colambii Eivei- Confer-
ence. Tbe appropriation to the Florida Conference
was reduced $300, and $200 was taken from tbe
Georgia Conference. The amount given Holston
was reduced $500, and Nevada suffered a rebate of
$200. Sorth Carolina was reduced $500, and the
same amount was taken from Nortb-weet Iowa, as
was also from tbe Savannah Conference, and the same
amount from the Virginia Conference. On molioji
of Dr. Clark, the $1,5(10 appropriated to the benefit
of the East M^ine Conference, was divided equally
between that and the Vermont Conference— ^750 to
each. It was then agreed to take np the Scandina-
vian list, and see where reductions could be made in
the appropriations granted them, and(S200 was caken
from tbe appropriation to th6 New- York East Nor-
wegian Mission. Bishop Amea movett that $500 be
taken from the appropriation to the Chinese work
in California, which was agreed to ; and $280 was also
deducted from tbe North-west Swedish Conference,
and $100 trom the Minnesota Norwegian.
Tho committee then adjourned until 9:30 o'clock
this morning.
IHJS CBEMATIOJ^ OF BAIiON PALM.
THE CEREMONY TO TAKE PLACE IN PENN-
SYLVANIA ON DEC. 4— DESCRIPTION OF
THE CREMATORY — INTEREST MANIFEST-
ED BY SCIENTIFIC MEN.
The crenaation of the remains of the late
Baron de Palm, whioh will take place at
WashingtoD, Penn., on Dec. 6, Is already
attracting the attention of scientists and
others, not only m this country but abroad. Tbe
Boards of H&alth ol New-York and other prominent
cities are te send representatives, and the corre-
spondents of the London, Athenian, and Australian
newspapers will be present. Washington, Penn.,
tbe scene of the cremation, ia a county town of
about four thousand inhabitants, in the western part
of ttie State. The crematory, or building in which
the burning will take 'place, is a single story in
height, witb a corrugated iron roof, and is divided in-
to two apartments, one containing seats; for spec-'
tators, and the other the furnace find reliort. The
latter, in which tbe body will be placed. Is 7^2 feet
in length, 20 inches high, and 28 inches wide, and
is shaped not unlike an ordinary gas retort.
Coke will be used for fuel, and tbe time required for
reducing the body to ashes ia estimated at five
hours. The remains are not allowed to touch the
fire at all, ihe furnace itself being heated to a
temperature ef 2,000 degrees, and the body con-
sumed by hot air. The apparatus has already been
tested with sheep carca»c.es, and works aldmirably.
A portion of the ashes of these sheep, which was
shown to a TliiES reporter by Col. Henry S. Olcot.t
yesterda.y, were of the color and consistency of
cigar ashes, and could not easily have been distin-
guished from them. Col. Olcott, who is one
of the executors of the Baion,
who, as such, will be present during
ceremony, says that no attempt will
and
the
be
and
made to give the afi'air a maienalistic flaror
that it is simply a quiet and uuostentatii/ua execu-
tion of the decfcaseu's exiiress lusirnctiops. Tbe
bnrning of the Baron's remains has oeen postponed
simuly to allow of the erection of a suitable crema-
tory. Scores of applirati^ns bad been made to
him by persons owning furnaces and other
necessary appliances, offering to burn the
Baroii's body fr-ee of cbarge, for the sake of the ad-
vertisement to their business. He bad properly
refused those offers, out of reopect tor his deceased
friend. Tbe approaching ceremonial was to oe
carried out in a t boron.; hly scientilio and appro-
priate manner, and would open up a hew era in the
disoiissiou of the much mooted question of tbe dis-
pos 1 of our dead. The idea tha- tnere was some-
thing terrible or revolting about cremaii.in was
false. Tfcete was nothing iu it which need in any
way interfere with the usual Christian burial ser-
vices, or prevent the flualilisposition of the asuss in
the ground, as under the present s.vstem. In thickly
crowded cuuutiiBs like England, where the accumu-
lation of the dead ia. some localiiii s poisoned the
surrounding wells and streara-s, crema ion would
in time become a necessity. Tne evidence recen.ly
taken before t^e British Parliamcntaivy Commission
showed tbat a frigoif.il amount of robbery and
desecration <il tne dead look place in crowded
cemeterifs, while in Paris tbuse practices bad a*:
one time been carried so f.ir as to inciu le the ran-
deii.ig of the fat irom uecomposing corpse* into
candles. At a recent Masonic funeral over the
body of a celebrated act r, the lean coffin was re-
moved for the purpose of ideutifica.iuu, and the re-
niaios wore touud in a hquia state. In fict, tbe
horrors which accompaiilBU the present mode of
burial were of so |brrible a descr;p ion, that if a
lull knowledge of them was made puolic, people
Would shrink from it with loaibing. Au that was
required to make cremation take the place of
buTlal in this City was a few examples la tbe
highest rauhSj of society. If ooe or two
leading society ladies, on dying, were
to leave instructions lor tlie burning of theirie-
maihs, and their instructions were earned out, the
praclioo would speedily become so fashionable that
burial would be looked upou aa obsolete. If the
body of Lady Dilse bad been cremated m thi^ coun-
try, instead of Germai'y, a porlect luror for the
practice would have foUjwe i.
The programme to be observed at the ceremonies
in Washington, Penn., imlude aJdrcsses by C'd.

ton and Jefl'orson Col ege, and Dr. F. Julius Le

GAS EXPLOSION IN TABKYTOWN.
Late on Sunday night the inhabitantg of
Tarrytown were startled by the noise of an explo-
sion, tha sound proceeding from the gas-works of
the Tarrytovn and Iryington Gas Company, a short
distance from the railroad depot. It was soon as-
certained that the explosion was caused by tho
leaking of a tank commonly known i.s " the goy-
ernor," which was situated in a brick building
several feet from tbe main gas-works. " The goy-
ei'Bor" is connected by pipes with tne " holders " of
the gas, and regulates tie supply lor lighting the
etraets in such a manner that the gas may be low-
ered and turned on or off at will. It is customary
to reduce the lights in tho street-lamp* at
aboat 11 o'clcok every evening, and Pat-
rick Hackett and hia son, workmen
whose dut.v it was to do so, at that time, went to
the building m which the "governor" is situated,
when they discoyered that the gas was rapidly
escaping. A single gas-jet was burning iu the
room, and b<)fora the- men could stop the leak the
gas bad reaohea tbe lij;hc, and the eitplosion imme-
diately ensued. The Hacketts were both frightfully
burned, and in their efforts to escape jumped
through a window to the ground, a cistance
cl. several teet, the younger one receiring
Btivere bruises. Af.er the explosion, tbe pipes
counectiui with the "governor" were immediately

lage stopped. The building was almost entirely
destroyed, a portion of the walls aloue being left
standing. The gas company estimates its loss at
about three thousand dollars. The elder of tho

A BIVEB TBiEF SHOT.
FOUND WQUUDBD AT PIER HO. 9 EAST
EIVER — HIS VEKSIOM OF THE OCCUR-
RENCE NOT BORNE OUT BY THE FACTS.
The Police of the First Precinct were noti-
fied at an early ho^r yesterday morning that a man
was lying dangerously shot on Pier No, 9 ,East
Kiver. Officers were sent thither, and the man,
who, it was found, was wounded id the left breast,
was borne to the Chambers Street Hospital, the
surgeon in charge of which, seeing that he wss rap-
idly sinking irom the effects of the wound, tele-
graphed for a Coroner to take his ante-mortem
statement Coroner Woltman took charge of the
case, and to bim the man stated that his name was
Patrick Padden, aged forty, a baatman, residing at
No, 350 Water street. Ho added that on Sunday
■ight about 10 o'clock he delivered a trunk on board
the ship John llann, lying at tbe foot of Old
slip, at the request of one of the ship's
ofiicera, whose property it was. After
putting the trunk on board he rowed to tbe Brook-
lyn shore near the Martin or Harbeck stores, with
the view of avoiaing as much as possible the wind
and tide on going back up tbe river to the point at
which he usually moored his boat when not en-
gaged in his occupation as boatman. While passing
In the vicinity of the Harbeck stores, he heard the
sharp report of a pistol, and simultaneously felc
a silnging pain in the breast. Nobody
bad hailed or spoken to him before
the shot was fired, and be cotild not tell where his
assailant stood. He lay helpless all ni^bt in his
boat, which drifted about the river with tbe cur-
rent, and be could not describe how or when he
was rescued, or the manner in which he was re-
moved to the hospital. Deputy Coroner Marsh ex-
amined the wound aud concluded that Paddgn's
condition waa extremely critical. The Brook-
lyn Police, who, at the suggestion of
the Coroner, were immediately acquainted with
the man's condition and his version of the occur-
rence, visited the Harbeck stores, where they as-
certained particulars wbich shed a different light
on tbe matter, and which, if true, nrove thut Pad-
den le a river thief, who, while m the act of robbing
a lighter freighted with sugar, wai shot by one of
the wa^hmen in charge of the vessel. . Two men,
named Casper Grote, of No. 346 Classen avenue,
Brooklyn, and A. D. Lindstrom, of No. 155 Hicks
street, Brooklyn, engaged in watching the
lighters Pilgrim and Albanian, belonging to Messrs.
S. F. Shoniand & Broiher, No. 106 Wall street,
which were heaviiy freighted with cargoes of sagar
in mats, intended to be stored at the Harbeck
stores, were arrested. Grote admitted that be bad
shot a river thief at an early hour in the morning,
and when arraigned before Coroner Woltman, in this
City, recited the circumstances of the sbootlag. Ac-
cording to hisstoryand that of Lindstrom, bis fellow-
watchman, they wereat their posts cf duty through-
out tbe night. Grote being aboard the Pilgrim,
while Lindstrom kept watch on the Albanian. At
1:30 A. M., Lindstrom, while in tbe cabin, heard a
sli;;ht noise, and on asceuding to the deck to ascer-
tain the cause saw a man creeping from under the
large tarpaulin which covered the sugar on deck.
The man carried a mat of sugar under one of his
arms, and when challenged by Lindstrom was
on tbe point of depositing it on board a
small boat which lay between tbe two
lighters, and in which was seated another
man, who was holding the row-boat fast to tbe side
of the Pilgrim. Lindstrom asked the man on board
the lighter what he was doing, and was informed
that they "wanted to boy junk." Tho watchman
d iyinea the real purpose of iho men, however, but
finding himself unarmeo, and fearing to attack them
in tbat comiition. ordered tbem awa.y. At that
moment Grote ascended the gang-way of the
Albanian, and, drawing bis revolver, flredi in the oi-
rection of the boat. The man on the deck of
tbe Pilgrim jumped into the row-hoa* and pulled
away with hia companion, who, after the,y bad got
awav a short distance, cried, " Oh ! I am shot. For
G'>d'8 sake row back." The man at the oars com-
plied and propelled the boat back to the lighters,
but on reaching them, and noticing the meaaoing
attitude of tbe watchmen, rowed away aaain, and
the watchmen soon lost sight ot the bo t and
its occupants, who disappeared in the darkness.
From the f.ict that Padden was fjund on pier No.
9, Ilast River, which is located nearly opposite the
Harbeck stores, it would appear that bis compauian
abandoaed bim on crossing tbe river, in order to
secate his own safety. There is no doubt that Pad-
den IS the man who was shot b.y Grote. When ex-
amined at tne hospital he could giye uo account of
the manner ip whi^h he got on ihe pier, and ap-
peared to be equally ignorant in regard to the late
of his boat. Giote was admicte i to bail in tbe-eum
of $500, and Lindstrom in $250, which was fur-
nished by their employers.
MAE0J7S E^GLAi\DER'S JEWELBY.
William MoKenzie, colored, who said he lived
at No. 2III3 Thompson street, was arraigned before
Judge Bixb.v, at tho Washington Place Police
Court, yesterday, on the charge of stealing, in Sep-
tember last, a quantity of jewelry, valued at
$22,000 dollars, from Marcus Englander, of No.
262 East Sftfenty-eighth street. The arrest was
made in Washington City, where McKenzie had
been traced, after a long search, by Detective
Dunn, to whom the case had been assigned. In
court, tbe prisoner told a rambling story about two
men who had engaged bim in conversation, while
on his way from Saratoga, and who askod
him to take their check and secure their
trvmk and keep it for them. He agreed to do t:is,
and had the trnak sent to No. 86 King street. When
it arrived there it was broken open,\and the men
gave him a pair of ear-knobs. Tbe trunk was taken
next day to No. 81 Amity street, where the men,
promised to call for if, but failed to do so. The
complainant, Mr. Marcus Englander, testified: "I
delivered my trunk In the village of Saratoga to the
agent of the Kensselaer and Saratoga fiailroad Com-
pany witb the direction to deliver the property at
my residence; on arrivipg home I discovered, to my
astonishment, thatmyurunk had noj) yet aniveo,
and suspecting something wrong, I conolnded to go
to the railroad company iu this City and inquire the
cause of this delay"; I went on the 16tb, 18 h, and
19th of September, but failed to obtain the property
or gain an.y satisfaction. I was informed on the 22d
of September, by Detective Dunn, that my trunk
had been stolen, bat that he had discovered where a
part of the property had been bought and had a
trace to tbe thieves who stole it." The prisoner was
remanded to tho custody of Detective Dunn, who
will endeavor to capture his confederates. The dia-
mond ear-knobs belonging to Mr. Unglander were
found at the pawn-shop of David Abrahams, No. 45
Chatham street, and when tbe negro was arrested
he had in his possession $260 in money, agold watch,
chain, locket, studs, and sleeve-buttons.
SVIT AGAINST DANIEL BBEW.
In the Supreme Court, Circuit, yesterday, the
trial of tbe suit of A. V. White against Daniel
Drew, to recover $40,000, was begun before Judge
Barnard and a jury. The cemplaint alleges that an
March 2, 1875. the defendant sold to the plaintiff for
$2,700 the privilege of purchasing from tbe defen-
dant withii sixty days 1,800 shares of Union Pacific
at E40 a share. On Mareb 27, 1875, the plaintiff gave
notice cf his willingness to take the stock, and de-
manded the delivery of it two days later. At the
defendant's request, the time was extended to
March 31. On that day the defendant repur-
chased tbe stock at $63 a share. This suit
18 brought to recover $41,400, the dit-
fereuco between the price at which the
stock was sold and that at which the
defendant repurchased it. A oounter-clvim Is set
up by the defendant, who pays that the parties en-
tered into aioint undertaking for the purchase and
sale ot Kock Island stock on Jan. 2, 1671. Tbe
business was concluded on June 26, 1871, and it is
claimed that Mr. White was indebted to Mr. Drew
in the sum of $50,969 4t), which he promised t» pay
on demand, but uo part of which has been paid.
To the counter-claim the plaintiff replies that the
parties were engaged in other business after June
26, 1871, and made large sums of money, and that
tbe defendant retained tbe plaintiff's share in
liiXnidalion of the claim urged as a counter-claim.
Each juror, as his name was cilljd, was questioned
by Mr. Drew's counsel aa to his occupatiou, his ac-
quaintance with either party to the suit, or his
membership of Plymou.h Church, of which the
plaiutift is a member. The only evidence offered
yesteida.y was a lung aflBdavit, made by Mr. Wlilte,
which has been alreaay published, setting tortli
bia side of tbe case. Tbe trial will proceed to-day.
TEE OLAFLIN SUITS.
The suits against H. B. Claflin & Co. to re-
cover nearly $1,750,000 for alleged undervaluations
in importations of goods, came np before Judge
Johnson, in tho United States Circuit Court, yester-
day, on the appeal taken by the Govei'nment from
the decision in tho United States District Court
by Judue Blatohtord. Tbe two suits were called
fur trial in the latter court eomo months auo,
when a demurrer was raised by the defendants'
couusol. This was argued at some length, and was
linally sustained by Judge Blatcbtord. The writ
ot error taken to 'he Circuit Court was argued yes-
terday, the question involved being mainly the
legal iuierpretation of certain acts of Congress.
The writ was aigued bv Hon. William M. Evarta
and E iuu Koot lor the delendants iu error, and by
ITiii'od States AttoTUHy Bliss lor tbe Government.
Decision was reserved.

THE ESTIMATES FOB NEXT TEAB-
ATTEMPT OF THE BOARD OF ALDERKEN TO
INCREASE THE AMOUNTS FIXED BY THE
BOARD OF APPORTIONMBNT.
For three hours yesterday, the Board of
Aldermen were engaged in inaraaains th9 esti-
mates for 1877, which had been transmitted for
their supervision bv the Board of Apportion-
ment. The charter of 1873 providea that
afior the Board of Apportionment have

shall be reviewed by th« ^oard of Aldermen, hut it
also declares that whatever action the Aldermen
may take upon them shall be subject to. tbe approv-
al of the Board of Apportionment. With full
knowledge of this legal fact, tbe City Fathers,

ture of 1873 subordinate to the judgment of the four

They organised as a Committee of the Whole for
that purpose. When a number of the estimates
were read by the Clerk, motions were made by the

motions were passed— the KeDublican Aldermen ap-
nareintly deeming the proceedings too farcical, in
view ot the law, to justify or renaer any oppositiou
necessary.

A comparison of the valuations and levies cf 1875
and 1876 shows that tne reduction of the average
rate ot taxation ia partly due to an increase of tax-
able valuation, partly to a decrease in the amount of
tho State tax, ana partly to a small reduction in tho
amount of tax Idvied fjr local purposes.

TAXATION IX BROOKLYN.
Mr. Edward B. Cadley, Clerk of the Kings

the tax-rate iu 1875 :

chasers. All his valnable purchases were made far
bim by Mr. H. B. fiaber, ef Nassau street. Next
to Mr. Drexel, as a purchaser <.f very scarce book%
comes Mr. Asay, of Obleagn, for whom Mr. Joaeyk
Sabin parcbased. Mr. Cooke, of ProvideoecL
gathered In a vast quantity of good woriia, aad
Mr. £. L. Stoart, ex-Senator H. C. Morphr.
L. E. Chittenden, Mr. Fred^ickaon, Mr.
Brayton Ives, GoL Hawkins. W. S. Fooeaix.
Hon.. John B. Bartlett, L. W. Alexander, Mr.
Fisher Howe, and a nnml>er of New- York mer-
chants who ooiected to have their namea nutde
public, were the prominent purcliasera. The library.
has therefore been, toagreat extent, dispersedamone
private libraries, and not a few of tbe gems of the;
collection will go to England. To begin with thej
purchases made by Mr. Fisher for Mr. J. W. l>rexel,J
the total sum expended could not hsve beea;
macn less than $12,000, probsblv the laiceati
sum expended by anv one Kentlemaa.;
Mr. Drexel's object waa to seenreafev works oC
unsurpassed importance, and, except at thu aak^
absolutely unobtainable. In tbla be was emtaendy
snccesafiil. and he has added to his masnlfieeat
private collection at least two workt of national im-
purianoe, and one, for which the British Govenv
meut, through a special agent, eantendec. TMb
Caxton, which was bought for 11,0(6, was only aee-
ond in value to tbe fine copy in tbe Lenox Libni-
ry, and it wonld have been a great pity had Mn
Jeoiies succeeded in carrying off thia
noble work to London. The coUectieo a£.'
Dibdin's bibliographical works,infifrrK>ne volnmea,
was also another prize to seenre, ev»n at the high
price of tl,9S9. Tne amount of care which bmI;
t>eeu expeuaed in gathering together this nniqasj
collection cannot be overestimated. Such a wurlc
can never be duplicated, and at any time it cannot.'
tail to biing iu price ia the market. The moat im^
purtaut purchase, however, from anhistoricdl point
of view, was the acquisition by Mr. Drei-1 of die
great " Washington " at a coat of #4,080. Tni* wax*}
has akeady been fuUy desctibed in Thb,
Times, and it is . gratifying that iti
did not go out of the conntry. Tha,
incident connected with the saie of the Hemhnmdl
Peale Assemblage of Wasbiogtouian Mementoec;
gave addltiooai interest 10 tbe disposal of anocb^
highly in teresting historical work. After ahe aao>
tioneerhadmade the statement that tberf waa h
desire to secure tbe work for Mount Vernon, there
seemed to be a dir^inclinarion to bid against any one
who^c was thoogbt, might present it to the natioa.
Mr. Drexel secured it for |175. It originally coat
$320. It is not known what Mr. Drexel will do with
it. Mr. Drexel's other purchases w ere all ot a verj
high class and good Jadicment waa shown ia ttw
seleotions.
Mr. £. G-. Asay, of Chicago, was the next Urfect
purchaser of Amertcaaa. Mr. Aaay baa been a
l>ook-celleotor for many years, and has now <we o^
the most valuable private libraries in tbe ooontiy.'
'#ben tbe great fire lOok place in 1871 bis hooae waa
burned, but it waa singularly tortunate that, with a
view te keeping his books safe during a visit to
Eurone, he bad had them all removed to Mr. Sabm'a
house. In Brooklyn.' AU of the boots purchased fw
Mr. Asav at this sale referred to the early history ol
America^ and It is some satisfaotion to know
that they have gone into the bands of so enthusias-
tic and accomplished a student of American history.
The purchases made by Col. Hawkins were ex-
clusively confined to the very earliest specimens ol
printing, and although he paid high prices for tbe
few gems he secured, they were by no means ex-
travagant. Tbe purchases made by Mr. Cook* of
ProyidenoCj cannot be classified. Mr. Cooke ia
" building np a library" at any cost, and he picked
up a vast number of nilscellaneous works, for whioh
ho generally paid good pnceg. It was openly stated
in the auction room that _Mr. Cooke
intended presenting a Horary to the citv in which
he resides, ana on being questioned by a Times re-
porter, Mr. Cooke laughingly replied, " Well, I
have never said that I intended to do such a thing."
The purchases made by ex-Sonatur Murpbv, a
genmne boo>-collector, who is also possessed
of a magnificent collection of rare works, were almost
exdnsivelv confined to works relating to the early
settlement of this country. The other purcbaaera
of rare Americana were Mr. Bartlett, Mr. Chitten-
den, Mr. Ives, Mr. R. L. Smart, and Mr. Dwigbt,;
the latter representing the Congressional Library.; _
It will thus be seen tbat while the library has be«a
disnersed, the more valuable worke, especially those 1
of an historical character, have gone Into the liora-j
lies of a few well-known gentlemen, whose refinedi
taste and love for anoh books are proverbiai.]
It would not * be doing justice to the
subject- to close this notice without a word
of reference to the auctioneer. Mr. Sabin's reputa-
tion as a bibliographer is nnequaled, and no on«
conld »pend an hour in the anciion room without
noticing that tbe anctioneer was a man of rare»
wit, and had a profound tnowledge of books. HOj
kept the audience in a roar of laoghter and inters
spersed bis jokes with remarkably free earoasou
about public men, dead and alive.
NEW PROFESSORS HIPS IN PBINCETOW,
A meeting of the Board of Trustees of the
College of New-Jersey was reeently held at Piiace-
ton. The President in his report stronjly urged
that now, when so many fine bnildlngs have been
constructed, the board should seek to inoreaee ani]
strengthen the staff ol teachers, which be aaid wa«
imperativtly required by tho increased number oi
students. Be recommended that the improvement
should begin with the younger classes and the
fundamental branches and thence go on to othet; -
branches. The hoard esubUshed two new profes^
sorsbips, one in architecture aud the applied arts,.
and tho other an Adjunct Professorship ii^
mathematics and civil engineering. To tb*
former of these they appointed Mr. Lindsey, archi-i
tec t. a graduate of Harvard and a licentiate of the! ^
School of Daslgn iu Paris, and to the latter MrJ
Burr, the rising young professor in tbe Polyiechnia
School at Troy. The board further agre«d to ap-
point new professors of classics, and iustrncted
their Committee oa the Cumcnlum to assign thelc
'spheres and duties, and to look out for competent
candidal es. When these two professorships have
been filled there will be a reconsideration rf the
whole tutorial system. There was a talk also of
appo.nting an additional professor of mathematics
in the Academic Department, and of institut-
ing two or three other professorships la
mors special departments, but no steps were taken.
The President impressed on the board the impor-
tance at putting tbe Fellowships on a more secure,
footing. There was an anxious deliberation about
the beat method of oondnoting religions instrueUon
in nbe college, and temporary arrangemMita w«»
made, consigning the worK to the President and
certain professors. It Is evident that the energy ot
the board, and any funds pbioed at its dlapoaal, ate
to BO henceforth in the direotioa of streagUieabMt

on the dollar in notes indorsed hy David Moral,
and to secure the latter against any liability there-
on transferred all his assets to him. Moral agreeing
to retnm the same as soon as all the notes were
paid. This, however, be refused to do, and Mr.
Salomon brought an action in the Court of Common
Pleas for an accouatirg by Moral and The
retnrb of the assets aboye mentioned.
The. latter, in hia answer. claimed several
thousand dollars for personal services, but iu<ig-
ment was entered in favor of the plaintiff jor $3,878,-
68 on July S6rh last, the defendant having previous-
ly admltTPd |before a Referee that he
had in bis possession over $3,000 belong-
ing to the plaintiff. Before the serviiig
of this decree, the plaintiff alleged. Moral left the
City, and upon an affidavit aecting forth that fact,
an injunction was procured restraining him from
making any dispositii'u of I h° funds in bis posses-
eion. A warrant was al'^o issued for his arrest, wtiich
was executed a short time sco, and after
an examination the papers in the case
were submitted to Judge Tan Brunt, lioldiDg
special term of the Court of Common Pleas, who
yesterday rendTed decision in ibe matter, wxitlnir
an elaborate opinion, in opening which he says: "A
more persistent attempt to eWlndle a plaintiff out of
hia recovery has never come under my observa-
tion than that ot the defendant in this action."
In conclusion, he holds that >)n order should be en-
tered requiring the defendant to pay into court the
moaey drann by him from the bank, with interest,
witbin ten days, or that he be committed to tne
Coanty iTall till Buoh payment is made. Messrs.
BInmenstiel & Archer appeared for the plaintiff
and Mr. B. S. Newcombe for the defendant.
TSE CASE OF THE " TEA-POT " MEDIUM.
In the case of The People, ex reL Eufus W.
Hint against "William C. Conner, Sheriff Judge
Lawrence, befare whom the motion for the discharge
of the plaintiff from further eonflnement In Lndlow
street jail was artrued, yesterday rendered an ooln-
ion, in which he holds that tbe so-called "Tea-Pot "
medium, having neglected to answer the comj laint
charging him with being tbe buabtud ot tbe plain-
tiff, the court obtained fall jurisdiction in the mat-
ter, and that the Jndgment rendetad in the divorce
proceedings cannot be assailed by habeas corpus.
It is further held that the decree for alimony heinor
a decree for money, tLero was no need tor tbe or-
dinary form of proceeding by interrogatones, to
authorize an order for contempt. In conclasion, he
balds that if the law is wrong, there is no help in
the-conrts for the' prisoner.
PUBLISHING LIBELOUS CIRCULARS.
S. J. Ahem, a bill discounter and money-
lender, at No. 170 Broadway, was arrested on a
warrant issued on the complaint of James Cock-
croft^ of No. 146 Wooster street. Complainant tes-
tified that Ahem, who held certain protested paper
of a firm of which he fCockcrofil was a member,
bas endeavared to compel him lo pay the same by
Composing, publishing, and circulating circulars
charging him with a conspiracy to cheat the credi-
tors of the fira* of James Costcroft & Co. Judge
Smith, at Essex Market, held this to be conduct
tending to a breach of the peace, on Friday last,
and bound tbe prisoner over to kaep the peace in
the sum of tSOO, and S. B. Le Baron, of Pine street,
gave ball in that amount.'' Mr. Appleton Morgan
appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Lookwood

DECISIOSS.
BTTFBEHB COUET — CHAUBER8.
By Judge JLawrence.
O'Connor vt. The Mebrew Benevolent Orphan
Asylum.- An explanation is reqarred in this case.
Matter of the Sixth and Seventh Avenues. — Has any
notice of motion f,>r the ^ onttruiation of the report
been given to tbe Corportiiion CouDsel 1
Matter of /Sfuydam.— Report of the Referee con-
firmed, and order discdarging old Trustee and
appointing a new Trustee is granted.
Carroll vt. Johnson. — Motion for a Receiver Is
denied, without cdis. Memoraadam.
The People, do., vt. The Mason Manufacturing Co
I do not understand why an order anoald be asked
granting leave to bring a suit nunc pro tuoc.
Flint Vt. Conner.— Writ dismissed and prisoner
remanded, Opiuion.
Barker vs. Uoff. — The findings as filed should in-
clude vhosd requests to find which I acceded to j
the requests to find which were denied can be
inserted in tbe case when settled.
Binsse vs. Wood Brothers. — It is extremely doubtful
whetbor the detendaut sbouM be allowed to come
in and defend ; I have determined to gVve them
that privdege, &c. Memorandum.
Clark vs. Savage.— 1 am of the opinion that the
plaintitf will fiua ir difficult to distlneuish tbis case
from Campbell vs. Foster, 35 N. T., p. 361. But tbe
creditor sbould have an opportnuii v of citaug his
right to have the trust-tunds applied in satisfac-
tion of the ludement, and lor the purpose he U I
think, entitled to have a Receiver appointed, or a
proper action can be brought to determine the
question.
Matter of WhUney, rfc— Report of Referee is con-
firmed, and Theoaore Chichester appointed the new
Trustee.
Bunn vs. Love. — Order for return of money de-
poaiied with clerk ia granted.
Matter of the UarUm PretbyUrian Church The
case ot Renstllaer, ice, R. R. Co. vs. Dans, 55 N. Y.
p. 145, seems to be the same as tbis case. ' The tax-
ation by the clerk „I deem to have been correct and
such taxation is theretore affirmed.
O'Connor vs. Htvicombe.—lho seventh paragraph
of the answer cannot be atnofcen out as irrelevant or
redundant. Taken in connection with tbe fifth and
aixtd paraerapba of tbe answer, it tends to show
an evasion and alteration ot the terms of the lease,
and is to constitute a defense to tbe action. The
eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh paragrapha of
tbe anawer seem to me to be whoUy irrelevant, and
they must be stricken out. Motion to this extent
granted, without costs.
Howard vs. Lansing.— I think that the objection
to tbo cbirU sareiy is well taken, and he is, there-
fore, rejected. Memoranda m.
Blumenthal vs. Anderson et al.—Jn this case the
witness is apparenily la contempt, and I do not
tblnK that tbe pnvsic'&D's eenificate aa to her in-
ability to endure an eiaminatiou InUr answers the
case made in the affidavits presented ou the part of
th^ creditor. If tbe witness will appear befaro a

.3fatfer of Bdu. — As there is Some mlsappreheii-
sion, either upon the part of the Court or of the
counsel, as to tbeaeanthorities,-! request that coun-
sel hand in a faller brief, and that a Copy of the
game be served on the District Attdrney. Memorau-
ddm.
Aden vs. Chdmberlain.—Tht motion so fir as it
seeks to make tbe complaint more definite and cer-
tain must be denied, but so far as it asks a farther
and more definite bill of particulars of the plaintiff's
claims it is eranted. Memorandum.
Allen vs, Eydr.—l do not feel constrained to hold
that the defendant has done anything which
amounts to a waver of his right to move to vacate
the writ. It sboald be vacated for tbe reasons
stated, bnt tbe defendant must stipulate not to sue
for false impMaoninent or arrest. Memorandum.
The People, <6e., exrel. Conlon vs. Aston, cCc.^There
are two dates of aaucb importance left blank in tbe
relator's affidavit. These dates liiust be given and
the affidavit verified upon such reveiiflcation ; if the
Corporation Counsel has no further opposition to

very seriaus quentipn -whether tbe default taken at
the special term should be opened, and yet if the

Business on the Stock Exchange was some-
■wbat restricted by the extremely inolemeut
•weather, and the day's Bpeoulation offered few
features of interest. The coal stocks were weak
on tbe announcement that the Pennsylvania
Coal Company will place 100,000 tons on the
market to-morrow, which, in view of the fact
tliat the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Company is to dispose of an equal quantity on
Wednesday, justifies the expectation of a still
further break in the price of coal. Delaware,
Liaokawanna and Western fell off to &B^i ; Del-
aware and Hudson Canal to 67, and
New-Jersey Central to 33^, aU three
closing vrithin a fraction of the low-
est figure. Just previous to the close of
business, the report once more obtained circula-
tion that another eflFort was about to be made for
the settlement of the railroad war, and it was
statea that the prospects are eucouraginjt for
an amicable arrangeinent, inasmuch as the
representatives of all the lines, with a single ex-
ception, have already agreed substantially
upon a basis of settlement. The effect of this
news was at once manifested in a sharp up-
ward turn in Lake Shore and North-western,
both of -which stocks closed firm. The entire
tranaaotions footed up 102,545 shares, which
embraced 42,400 ot Lake Shore, 23,800 of
Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western, 6,100 of
Ohio and Mississippi, 6,000 of North-
western, 5,500 of Rook Island. 4,900 of Western
Union, and 4,000 of Ohio and Mississippu Lake
Shore fluctuated between 56i4 and 57^, with
final transactions at 67. North--vyastern ad-
vaneed from 34% to 35% for the common and
from 5s> to 58^4 for the preferred. The St. Paul
shares were irregular, but on narrow fluctua-
tions. Illinois Central, on small transactions,
sold as low as 71, against 74 at tbe close on
Saturday last. Book Island declined from 99
to 98%, closing at a slight recovery. The ex-
treme prices lor Western Union were 7196 and
71%, the latter the closing quotation.
The money market was easy during the early
part of the day, and borrowers on call were
supplied at Z'WZ^ ^ cent., but in the afternoon
the demand increased and business was done
as high as 5 ^ cent., the closing rate being 4.
There was no change in the discount market,
the rates for prime names remaining at 4 to 6 ^
cent. The national bauk notes received at
Washington lor redemption to-day amounted
to $900,000. The statement of the United States
Treasurer shows that the receipts of national
bank notes by the Redemption Agency during
the fisoal year ending vrith Juno 30 were $204,-
,.^a&jf[i.m.fis^ in««M»-«f oT«s t4a.oo&OQOa«.,,
compared TTith 1875.> The aggregate operation*
of ^e agency \ reaohed $215,086,368,^inTolTlBg ;
an expense of only $365,193. 4, The. rate* of ex-"'
change on New- York at the nndemtentioned
cities to-day were: Savaiinali, % ott ; Charles* •
ton, steady, 5-16® par; Cihoinnati, ddll, 10^
discount; New-Orleans, commercial 9-\6fb%,
bank ^4, and St. Louis 75® 100 discount
The foreign advices report the London
market generally steady for Consols and
American securities, whose olosmg quotations
were about the same as on Saturday, and were
as follows : Consols, OS'A'S'gS^ for hoth money
and the account; United States i865s,^old,)
lOai^; 1867s, 108%; 10-408, 107%, and new 5s,
105% ® 106. Bullion to the amount of £115,000
was withdrawn from the Bank of England on
balance to-day. At Paris. Ben tes sold at the
opening at 104.32^6, and afterward fell oflfto,
and closod at, 104.07^, against 104.25 at the
close on Saturday.
The Sterling Exchange market was quiet and
firm, with actual business «t $4 81%®|4 82 for
bankers' 60 day, and |4 83%'3i|4 84 for demand
bills. The demand continues very moderate,
but the supply of bills is also limited. Specu-
lation in the gold-room was tame throughout
the day, with all the sales at 1091b®109%, »
the former the opening ftnd olosing quotation.
The price continues firm, in the face of the re-
cent importations of specie and the prospeotive
arrival of considerable amounts during the
current week The short interest in the mar-
ket does not appear to be large, and cash gold
continues in good supply at 2®3 per cent, for
carrying. _ In exceptional instances to-day
loans were made flat. The steamer Baltic,
which arrived from Liverpool yesterday,
brought $250,000 gold coin and $350,000 silver
bars.
The Government bond market was firm, and
in some instances prices improved ^®V4 V
cent. The demand was chiefly for new 18658,
1867B»and 1868s, but the transaotiens aggrej;ated
only a very small amount. In railroad mert-
gbges the North-western and St Paul issues
were flrmer and the Pacifio issues a trifle
easier. Toledo and Wabash second ..declined
from 69Mi to 69. Ohio and Mississippi consoli-
dated sinking funds and seconds were firm,
the former selling at 82 and the latter at 43.
State bonds were dulL District of Columbia
3.65s advanced to 68^. Sales of Missonti Long
68 were made at I05ii<8®105%.

How little the Democrats care to have
An "honest count" in Louisiana is made
tolerably obvious by the kind of tactics
they are employing to discredit in advance
the procedure of ,the Betuming Board.
Having exhausted their abuse of the board
iteelf^ they ar& now busily engaged in trying
to break do-wn tbe cbaracter of tbe ■wit-
nesses who will be summoned to testify
to the bayonet intimidation which
haa rendered worthless the votes of several
cov.nties. From the details of an interview
prtblisbed in another column, it wiU be seen
tfjat Hon. Stanley Matthews, of Cincin-
XiaH, has returned from New-Orleans with
very decided opinions in regard tothe farci-
cal character of the so-called elections on
w^hose results the Democrats depend for their
majorities in ^Louisiana. A new emphasis
is given to these views by the facts stated
by our special correspondent, and presented
With 9.11 needful fullness and force in his
digpfftcb. It is perfectly obvious that the
truTj position of Louisiana as a Bepublican
8tf,te will not only be folly vindicated, but
Will be vindicated after a fashion which
-' ftiH command the assent and approval of
the fair-minded portion of the Americaii
people.
Th© letter of certain representative
Northern Repablicans now in Florida to the
Chairman of the Bepublican National Com-
mittee state very frankly and fully the
reasoHB for refusing to give any stamp of
official authority to details of th e vote of
th<e State ^ased upon incomplete or dis-
puted returns, as also the reasons which
kave prevented an earlier canvass of
that vote. It is as obvious now
that the Democrats are to stake their last
chance of success upon their ability to
**fix'' the county, returns of Florida, as it
was on tbe morning after the election that
tbey had abandoned that State as lost.
How these returns have been tampered with
in times £ar less exciting than the present
. ia shown by the brief account of
the Democratic frauds in Jackson
County in 1372. In that year the
, Republican vote for Congressman was
, altered from 1,108 to 108 by the County
Canvassers, and the voting on the State
ticket was only less flagrantly niisrepre-
^ seuted. A comparison -with the precinct
': retoms enabled the State Board_ to correct
the attempted frauds, and the county re-
tuFUfl of the present year will be sub-
^y jected to a still more searching investiga-
tion. When disputed questions of jurisdic-
f "tion are disposed of, and the returns are
;^^ complete, the count will begin. About the
Tesult there can be no possible doubt.
S^- Telegraphic dispatches from Eastern Eu-
rope are quite as bewildering to the aver-
age reader as Sonthern election returns in
November. Just now everybody denies
« verything. The Russian Telegraph Agency
!aa8 gone heartily into this business. At
last accounts it denied that it had denied
that the Czar had inade a warlike speech
to his officers. Now the Rothschilds deny
that they have agreed to give Russia a
private loan. And we must ex-
pect that somebody will deny that
several Americana have applied to
Bosf.ia for letters of marque to be used
aga Inst England in case of war. This last
Bty.tement comes from the Berlin news-
papers, where we are taught by experience
to look for mean things about Americans.
It is not denied, however, that Turkey has
given her consent to a conference, having
pat it off until the last moment, with true
Oriental dilatoriness and evasion. Hbtwith-
^atnding tbe coatiaoad pxeoatations of Ros-
Several doubts surround the question of
the ControUership. There is a doubt
whether Mr. John Kelly has quite made
up his mind to accept tbe position — a
doubt which, we trust, will be continued
indefinitely. Then there is the doubt
whether Mayor WickhaM desires to make
his admioistration permanently odious by
placing the City Treasury in the hands of
John Kklly or any man of similar char-
acter and associations. Finally, there
is a doubt whether there is a vacancy in
the office of Controller at all. The lan-
guage of the charter certainly appears to
have been specially designed to leave the
officers excepted from its provisions of re-
moval in possession of their places till some
new legislation was obtained to deal with
them. It would be a curious development
of good out of evil if a legislative trick,
originally concocted for the benefit of
the late Henry Smith, should^be the
means of saving us from the ControUership
of John Ki-xlt. As the appointment of a
new Controller without stiffioient authority
might throw into confusion and dispute the
legality of next year's tax levy, and as it
only lacks six weeks of the date of the
meeting of the Legislature, the Mayor may
probably think it proper to leave the pres-
ent incumbent m office till the doubts
about the appointment of a successor have
been removed.
The letter which we publish from Park
Commissioner Martin needs but little com-
ment. If statements unsupported by a
grain of fact, and theories of administra-
tion which reveal the demagogue in every
line, he a defense against charges which are
proved by the very existence of a deficiency
in t^e park appropriation, then Mr. Mar-
tin's letter may help his case. If his con-
fident assertions be merely proofs of ig-
norance, and his notorious unfitness for the
position he occupies be demonstrated by
his inability to make the slightest apology
for repeating in these days the worst
abuses of the Sweeny-Fields' management,
then he had better have left his let-
terunwritten. The public is rather sick of
Mr. Martin and his methods, though, for-
tunately for him and his kind, the public
seems in a humor juat now to tolerate any
kind of local government.

WHIIEE THE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS.
The failure of all efforts to force Mr. Til-
den into thd Presidency through the agency
of the Eeturnin^Boards appears to aggrar
vate the recklessneiBs of his most active sup-
porters. They have so much at stake that
they refuse to recognize any result
that conflicts with their plans. Three
classes are embraced in this category.
The Southerners are conspicuous among
them. Confident that they held in their
own hands the controlling elements of vic-
tory, their wrath is mingled with amaze-
ment. Then come the enormous and hun-
gry crowd who had gathered around the
Democratic standard in expectation of booty.
To them the disappoinimeut is doubly tanta-
lizing. The spoils seemed all but in their
grasp, and they are furious at the loss. A
complete sweep throughout the Government
service was the cardinal idea in the Tilden-
ite conception of reform, and the greedy
legions who couched ready for a spring
upon the Treasury are unwUling to give up
the hope of plunder. Gamblers, demagogues,
and adventurers generally compose the
third' class, and, perhaps, more than
either of the others, have kept in motion
the systematic lying and boasting which
have been the most notable features of
Democratic journalism during the last fort-
night. Never before, indeed, was gambling
methodized, as it has been in the service of
the great reform .candidate ; and the brag-
garts who made bets which they are unwill-
ing to pay have a closer connection than
unsophisticated observers imagine with the
declared determination not even yet to coa-
Bider the contest closed.
Fair-minded men, who desire only that
the legal vote shall be honestly counted,
and are averse to the prolongation of strife
after the majority has been properly ascer-
tained, can have no difficulty in settling the
question of responsibility as regards any
further trouble that may arise. The tactics
of the Democratic managers and journals
prove clearly enough that in all that has
been done since the election, no respect has
been paid to the requirements of truth and
justice. The affected desire for an honest
count has been mockery so unreal that it
could deceive no one. The parade of " dis-
tinguished men" moving southward at the
bidding of Mr. Hewitt has been made lu-
dicrous by their inability to preserve an
appearance of judicial impartiality. Their
professed mission was to investigate facts,
and mos^ of them began by prejudging the
points on which the iss^e of fact turned.
In this partisan spirit they visited South
Carolina. There could be no doubt, they
told us, that a count of the votes "actually
cast" would secure the State to Tildkn
and Hampton. The aid of the Supreme
Court of the State was invoked to cripple
the Returning Board — a court which had
been, to a certain extent, committed to a
partisan view by the open espousal
of Hampton's candidacy by two of the
three Judges. The board — unwisely, we
think — acknowledged the jurisdiction of
the court, and allowed its pro-Democratic
Judges to prescribe the manner in which
the court should be conducted. The con-
cession ought not to have been made. The
board should have performed its task ac-
cording to the requirements of the law as
interpreted Ijy its members, and as hereto-
fore recognized in the practice of tlfe State.
We should then have known what the gross
vote amounted to, and what the true vote
should be after the results of frauds and
irregularities had been eliminated. But the
board, in its anxiety to avert the charge
of partisanshin, submitted to the order
of the court, and the count was
conducted in conformity with Democratic
demands. If ever, therefore, there was a
case in which further complaints or protests
were estopped, surely it was here. The
Democrats, however, are stiU dissatisfied.
The State had, according to their owu mode
of counting, chosen the Republican Electo-
ral ticket ; but instead of silencing them,
the fact furnishes pretexts for fresh charges
and tiireats. Gov. Randolph, who had the
indecency to pronounce judgment upon the
case before eBterins the State, comes back
with a budget of stale stories, arid the Dem-
ocratic pr*BSS cites him as a witness in iusti-
fication of further disputes.
Essentially similar to this is the experi-
ence in the case of Louisana. There was no
rational ground for doubting'that the State
had sustained the Republican ticket, na-
tional and local. The probabilities were all
on one side. The question only remained
open : Should the result be determined by
the lawful votes of the citizens, or by frauds
and violence, aided by the votes of lawless
gangs imported from adjacent States ?
The question was one which the Returning
Board must decide. Fortunately, the State
had lelt no excuse for controversy
as to the powers of the board,
and what we have seen reported reaarding
the conduct of its members leaves the im-
pression that they cannot be buUied or
cowed into a relinquishment of the author-
ity they possess. All the Democrats pre-
tended to dread was secrecy. "Let the
count be open," they said, " and we shall be
satisfied." The board responded by open-
ing its doors to a delegation from either
party, and in their.presence the proceedings
will go on. Trickery and wrong will be
impossible. If returns are received, it will
be because of their validity ; if others are
rejected, it will be because they are
vitiated by fraud or error. The
proceedings will be straightforward
and just. It will give the country
precisely what moderate and fair men de-
sire— a true and lawful count by a body
whose jurisdiction is undisputed, and whose
coikpliance with Democratic suggestions,
so far as they were admissible, precludes
the imputation of partisanship. Do the
Democrats accept the consequences as final
and conclusive f On the contrary, tacitly
admitting in advance that "an honest
count " wiU place the State firmly in the
Bepublican column, they protest that they
will continue to fight for it, and that their
majority in the House will interpose
to prevent the counting of the
State by the President of the Seur
ate. Forgetting, apparently, that any
issue of that sort raised at Washington may
assume larger proportions than comport
with their schemes — ^that factious resistance
to the reception of the lawful vote of Louis-
iana may direct attention to the lawless and
cruel methods by which Mississippi has
been made to give a Tilden majority — they
give notice that the struggle is not over,
and that they are prepared to block the
machinery of Government for no other pur-
pose than to make the struggle more bitter
and more mischievous than it is.
Foiled in South Corolina — defeated in
Louisiana — they are concentrating their at-
tention upon Florida. And as in Louisiana
they were prepared to barter on any terms,
so that TiLDKN might be elected, so in
Florida they are willing to employ any
means to obtain a verdict in their favor.
Exactly how many reputable persons are
on the spot, working in Mr. Tildek's in-
terest, we don't know. But it is impossible
to scan the list of bummers and bank-
rupts who are there from Washingtop and
from the North, working in Tilden's behalf,
without being thankful that a crew so
characterless are not to have the run of the
nation's Treasury. We could point out
Democratic agents in Florida, doing their
party's work, whom no man iu Washington
or New-York would trust with a dollar: or
believe on their oaths. It is on the testi-
mony of creatures hke these that Demo-
cratic charges of cheating in Florida are to
be sustained, and that contention is to be
kept up with regard to the vote of the
State.
If, then, the country is to be vexed stiU
longer by the strife about the Presidency ;
if business is to be paralyzed and the res-
toration of confidence retarded indefinitely,
let there be no mistake as ^o where the
responsibility rests. It is impossible to
look over the field without being con-
vinced that the knowledge of the results in
the three disputed Southern States should
end all controversy on the question. There
can be no reopening at Washington of the
action of the authorities in the three
States that would not justify the reopen-
ing of the count in States in which fraud
and violence have, so far, gone unpunished.
And there can be no trouble, in any form,
unless tho Democrats wantonly provoke it.
AUTHOBITT FOB DEMOCRATS.
Danng the debates which took place in
the Senate at the last session, on the bill
for regulating the counting of the Electoral
votes, several of the propositions now freely
urged by the Democratic journals with ref-
erence to the count next February received
incidental attention, and we now lay before
our readers the opinions of several of the
most prominent Domocratic Senators on
these propositions.
In the first place, it is now suggested by
some of the Democratic journals that the
twenty-second joint rule is still in force.
No one ventured to bring forward that view
in the Senate. On the contrary, the abro-
gation of that rule was advanced as a reason
why Senator MokTON's bill should pass,
since there was no other regulation on the
subject. In this connection Senator Bay-
ard, of Delaware, referred to the action of
i^e Senate in wiping out the rule, and
added, "The concurrence of the House is
not essential." Senator Whyte, of Mary-
land, remarked: "It was wise at the be-
ginning of this session of Congress that the
Senate of the United States should Under-
take the work of reform, and annihilate a
joint rule which was an enormity." Tliis
is conclusive as to the theory that tho joint
rules constitute that iieculiar kind of a con-
tract which it requiies twd parties to make,
and which only one of the two can surren-
der. There is not only no authority for, but
there is good Democratic authority against,
the notion that the House can still throw
out a vote from any State under tho twenty-
second joint rule, and so get the election
into Congress.
The second main proposition of the Dem-
ocrats is that there is iu the House an in-
herent right to share in the counting of the
votes, and that that is not a process which
is intrusted to the President of the Senate.
On this point Senator Bayakd said : " We're
the two houses of Congress ever intended to
become the iudges of tbe Electoral vote of
the people of this country? Aoparently,
by the Constitution, thoir duties would seem
to be of a ministerial character only. They
were to stand by and witness t-ho coiinting,
and their presence in that way, as witnesses,"
was Bupposed to be a security." T^is Was Mr i
BATAKiys view of the prima facie interpre-
tation of the naked constitutional provi-
sion. He was undiecided as to whether
Congress by law could provide for some
other means of counting the votes, though
he was clear that no other could be properly
provided by a joint rule.
Senator Whytb, of Maryland, went much
further. He would not listen to the sug-
gestion that either house, or both, acting
separately or together, could have anything
to do with the Electoral vote, except to be
present as witnesses to its counting by the
President of the Senate. He said: "It be-
longs to the President of the Senate to-
count the Electoral votes. I differ with the
Senator from Aiassachusetts, when he speaks
of the two houses counting the Electoral
votes. I differ with the Senators who
doubt for a moment that our fathers meant
to leave it in the power of the President of
the Senate to open the certificates, to state
the votes of the people of the States, and to
declare what the people had determined
should be in the future their will. I am
surprised that we should stop here to-day
to discuss the question whether we have a
right, by legal enactments, to take away
from the people that power put in the Con-
stitution of the United States for their ben-
efit, merely authorizing the Vice President
of the United States to enunciate their will."
Mr. Morton raised precisely the issue
which would be raised if the Democrats
should send up a second batch of Electoral
votes from Louisiana. He asked: "Where
tliere are two returns, each purporting to be
the return of a State, does the Senator hold
that the Vice President is authorized to
select the return which is to be counted?"
To which Mr. Whyte answered in the fol-
lowing distinct and- unmistakable language :
"I do hold that the Vice President of the
United States is the proper person to state
which vote shall be counted, because the
Constitution has put it in his hands." He
then proceeded to cite a precedent from the
history of the Government at its very foun-
dation. He said: "Our fathers recognized
the President of the Senate as the i)roper
officer to count the votes of the Electoral
Colleges, for when they sent the Constitu-
tion to the people of the States what did
they say? * * * They sent down with
it, over the signature of George Washing-
ton, this direction to the Congress first as-
sembled after the Philadelphia election.
After other details, it "was resolved : ' That
the Senators should appoint a President of
the Senate, for the sole purpose of receiving,
opening, and counting the votes for Presi-
dent.'"
And when Mr. Whyte was asked if he
would trust so much power in the hands
of one man, he replied: "It would be
safer to have a question of this kind in
the hands of one man than in the hands of
many. Divide the responsibility, and it be-
comes so small, 80 infinitesimal that scarcely
any man feels it ; but centre it in one man
of honesty and integrity, put him before
the people liable to impeachment for high
crimes and misdemeanor, hold him account-
able for speaking the voice and will of the
people, and my word for it, there is a greater
protection to the body of the people than in
a majority which are often more tyrannical
than any single man."
This remarkable exposition of Democratic
doctrine was indorsed by Mr. Stevicnson,
of Kentucky, who said : " I concur in the
able argument of the Senator from Mary-
land. I agree with him that the President
of the Senate is the only agency selected by
the framers of the Constitution, and named
in that instrument, as invested with
the sole power of receiving, opening, and
counting the votes for President, as returned
by the Electoral Colleges, and of declaring
the result of that election."
Finally, when it was suggested that the
two houses might differ as to the vote of
some one of the States, Mr. Merrimon, a
very able and well-read Democrat of North
Carolina, thus stated what would be the
consequence: "But suppose that the
wrangle, the conflict that the Senator
suggests, should arise, * * * and the
two parties, or the three parties, should
consent to be prostituted by party zeal so
that they could not make a decision, the
controversy would simply go on till the 4th
of March, when it would end by limitation
of time, and the President pro tempore of
the Senate would bo the President of the
United States temporarily, and a new elec-
tion would take place under the Constitu-
tion and the laws."
This collection of Democratic authorities
is respectfully submitted to the Democratic
journals. It will be found profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, and for instruction.
CHAOS COME IN CALIFORNIA.
A political earthquake has happened in
California. A Chinaman has voted! What
is worse, he voted for President. Worse
than all, nobody knows what ticket he
voted. There is a horrible suspicion that
he voted for Tilden. It happened in one
of the election precincts of the Fourth
Ward, San Francisco. Business was slack,
and a man had not been killed within half
an hour. To the assembled custodians of the
sacredmachine which executes the freeman's
will entered John Chmaman, smiling and
bland. Ho had a vote, which he offered
mildly but firmly. Charles GbuGH, In-
spector, was like Buniblc when Oliver asked
for more— speechless with astonishment and
rage. Recovering his scattered faculties,
he looked around for somebody to throw a
stone. There was no hoodlum in sight.
Perhaps a free fight in Cat alley engrossed
the attention of the tribe. Charles gasped,
" I challenge your vote." John respectful-
ly uncovered his head, like one who knew
what belonged to good manners; and an-
swered all inquiries. He held up his baud,
moreover, and swore like — a Caucasian, let
us say. The civilization of the proud An-
glo-Saxon went down before the simple tale
of that mild-eyed Mongolian, and his folded
ballot went into the urn. The deed was
done. A Chinaman had voted. At last, one
of the "countless hordes" had arrived.
Credible witnesses said that it was the
smallest horde ever seen iu this or any other
country.
We confess that all this seems incredible.
Doubtless, it seemed so to the Inspector who
permitted this Chinese vote to drop into the
receptacle heretofore consecrated to the
ballot of Saxon, Celt, Latin, and African of
American birth. It is probable that it
seemed incredible to the affrighted citizens
of San I'rancisco, when next ihorning they
road this harrowiiifr iut^lliirfiDon in the xe-
i«, ■"»■■< f.< , '
sort of tho bibulous whore they imbibe
their matutinal "eye-opener" with the
news of the world. John, in the midst of
the eommotion, was the only one unmoved.
When he had aceomplished his fiendish pur-
pose on the palladium of our liberties, he took
out his naturalization papers^ and, with a
yellow grin, showed them to the horrifiM
Inspectors. These papers, the francbiae of
a freeman, had been taken out iu the Fif-
teenth District Court, two years and a half
before. They were impregnable. Then it
was recollected that there wlTa time when
the Naturalization laws permitted, or seemed
to nermit, the admission of Asiatics to citi-
zenship, and that it had been reported that
several Chinese had slipped in during that
fatal period. Here was one of the inter-
lopers. The long-looked-for horde had come
at last. He was asked for whom he voted.
Affably he smiled, and said: "Me no tellee
you." And this, too, in a city with a Demo-
cratic Mayor and other officers, a Democratic
Ring, an Alms-house Ring, and a Garbage
Ring. It was too much. Charles Gocgh
put the cork of his whisky-bottle into the
orifice of the ballot-box and pensively re-
marked that the Caucasian was played out.
It is passing strange that this astounding
piece of news has only reached us by theslow
process of the mail service. It should have
been flashed across the continent with the
additional- intelligence that the population
of the Golden West, as Californians preter
to call their proud land, were in hysterics.
We Bhotdd have expected to hear that an
outraged public opinion was prepared for
any " Havoc ! " and let loose the hoodlum
upon Chinatown. Less important matters
than this have been telegraphed ere now in
wearisome detail. The fact that an entire
Mongolian horde has voted is passed over
with a grief too deep for telegraphic men-
tion. Possibly, John's immunity from world-
wide infamy lies in the fact that nobody
knows how he voted. As the innumerable
thousands of negroes in Alabama and Mis-
sissippi voted for Tilden,- (according to the
returns,) this ruthless invader from China
must have cast a Democratic ticket. It is
the Democratic theory that the humbler
races bless their etiemies aud vote for those
who despitefully use them. The natural-
ized Chinaman voted for Tilden. One of
the same race — not naturalized — as he
rolled up a week's washing on the day
after election, asked his patron, " Who you
folks makee Plesident?" The lady said
that Tilden was the man. "Tilden? He
Melican man ?" To terrify him, she said
the President-elect, as she saw things, was
an Irishman. "IlishmanI" cried John, as
he started in horror. "No good for China-
man. Hishman allee same Demoolat ! Goo'
by John." Therefore, we believe that this
solitary horde voted for Tilden.
But until the unhappy Californian solves
the enigma of John's vote, parties will
be evenly balanced on what they pon-
derously call " The Chinese Question," in
large letters. It is touching to observe
the unanimity with which Democrats and
Republicans in California have agreed
to sit down on the Chinaman. The reckless-
ness and boldness with which candidates on
both sides charged each other with em-
ploying cheap Chinese labor was edifying
and instructive. We had. no idea of the
elasticity of our institutions until we saw
a Democratic candidate for elector, and a
Republican candidate for Congress, in-
dignantly denying that they ever employed
Chinamen. We must add that the Repub-
lican got the best of the dispute, as he had
fourteen O'Rourkes and Donohues certify
to his Caucasian spotlessness. This was be-
fore the election. Now, a Chinaman has
voted, and everything is changed.
A C HILLING PROSPECT.
A year ago the Herald saved this country
from total destruction, and all honest men
ought to be glad to acknowledge its emi-
nent services on that occasion. It will be
remembered that the proprietor of the
Eerald once chartered a special train to
carry nim to Ottawa City, where he pro-
posed to attend a viceregal masquerade.
It so happened that he returned home with-
out having shared in the festivities in
question, and within a few days after his
return the Herald demonstrated that if the
Isthmus of Panama was to be cut by a
canal, the Gulf Stream would flow into the
Pacific Ocean, and that North America in
general aud Ottawa City in particular
would thereupon be buried under the ice
of a new glacial period. As every one
knows, the canal has not been cut, and the
continent is still habitable. Of course, we
owe this to the Herald, and when we reflect
that if the proprietor of that paper had
attended Lord Duffkrin's masquerade he
would probably never have thought of the
relations of the Gulf Stream to the climate
of Canada, and would never have pointed
out the consequences of cutting the Isth-
mus, we can hardly be too thankful that
persons without invitation were not ad-
mitted to that masked ball.
A danger similar to that from which tho
Herald saved us now menaces Europe, and a
Swiss Scientific Person has just shown- how
vast and threatening the danger really is.
It is well known that certain Frenchmen
have undertaken to convert the 'Desert of
Sahara into an inland sea by admitting to it
the waters of the Mediterranean through a
canal to be dug from the coast of Algiers to
the basin of the desert. As the desert is
many feet lower than the surface of the
Mediterranean, it is obvious that as soon as
this canal is opened the waters will rush into
the desert, and the latter will become an in-
land sea. Of course, the water will be at first
somewhat unpleasantly impregnated with
Arabe and camels, but in time it will purify
itself, and French fleets will sail over its
Burface'to plant the standardof opera bouff'o
at Timbuctoo, and to make war on the na-
tive kings, who, for purposes of glory, are
much more tractable than the obstinate Ger-
mans.
What is the particular grievance which
has impelled the Swiss ^Scientific Person to
attack this apparently easy ^nd useful un-
dertaking we are not informed. Perhajjs,
the French Academicians may have recent-
ly given a scientific masquerade, which na-
tive geologists and native mathematicians
attended disguised as metamorphic strata,
or quadratic equations. Perhaps the Swiss
Scientific Person, who is a notorious astrono-
mer, invited himself to attend the masque-
rade in the assumed character of an eccen-
tric ellipse, and was refused admission.
There are reasons for suspecting that his
grievance is of this nature, but still the
evidence is not as conclusive 'as it was in
the case of the proprietor of the Herald.
Nevertheless, it is sufficiently plain that
something has exasperated him against the
French nation, and led him to announce
that France is on the eve of being frozen
into a solid lump of ice.
The Desert of Sahara, aa this injured,
but, it is to be feared, hypocritical Scien-
tific Person assures us, is the furnace of Eu-
rope. The heat which began to radiate
from its sandy surface as soon as the water
which originally cbvered it had evaporated,
melted the ice which during the gla-
cial period covered all Europe; and
nothing but the continued radiation
of heat from Sahara prevents the return
of the same slippery and objectionable
state of things. If the desert is converted
into a lake, this vast hot-air furnace will be
suddenly extinguished. France will be
once more covered with ice ; Italy will be-
come too cold to be inhabited even by
Charles Francis Adams, and the Pope
and the Roman Catholic religion will be
frozen stiff. As for the Swiss Scientific
Person himself, he is not at all alarmed by
the prospect, since he has been nourished
on glaciers from his earliest youth, and
rather prefers them to fresh vegetables.
What makes him unhappy — so he says— is
the inevitable fate of the gallant French
nation. He could bear with some degree of
equanimity the freezing of Italy, with all
its monkeys and hand-organs. He could
even reconcile himself— with the help of
philosophy — to the chilling spectacle of the
Roman Catholic Church slowly stiffening
into something far colder and more rigid
than the coldest variety of Calvinism ; but
when he pictures Paris with the thermom-
eter 60° below zero, and the wretched
Parisian heroically striving to enjoy the
Belle H4lene, as interpreted by artists
dressed in thick buffalo robes from head to
foot, his great scientific heart' breaks, and
he wildly calls upon the canal-diggers to
pause ere it is too late.
Very probably the vncked Swiss secretly
gloats over the icy horrors which he pre-
tends to deplore ; but nevertheless his
warning deserves attention. To convert
Sahara into a sea may prove quite as dis-
astrous as the Herald asserted that the cut-
ting of the Isthmus of Panama would
prove. We cannot allow a handful of canal-
diggers to freeze up the civilized world,
merely because one or two gentlemen have
not been invited to masked balls to such an
extent as they may have deemed proper.
Though the Herald advocated the digging
of the Panama Canal, no matter what
might happen to Ottawa City, the canal
was not dug, and now that the Swiss Scien-
tific Person has shown the dangers of dig-
ging the Algeria Canal, the projectors of the
latter scheme would do well to postpone it
until a committee of unprejudiced French
savants have investigated the relations of
the desert to the climate of Europe.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
PARK CGMMI8SI0HER MARTON ON THE DE-
FENSIVE.
r» the Editor of the New- York Timet:
My administration of this Department is
open to every Just and fair criticism upon the man-
ner in which its di£Scultie8 and obstacles have
been met and surmounted, but it u not to be put
down by false statements as to the facts. I am
not willing to believe yon will contradict this po-
sition ; yet your article on the 20th was so full of
false statements, that X rely on your courtesy tor
permission to correct them, and, at tbe same time,
offer to throw open to you tbe records of this ofBce
that you may sscertain tbe truth.
First, it is not true that 250 men have been dis-
charged becaaae the appropriation for the mainie-
nance has been exhausted.
Secondly, it is not true that any money has been
diverted to any other use than that to which It was
appropriated.
Thirdly, it is not true that the department has be-
come an asylum for worthless politicians.
Fourthly, it is not true tiiat employes liave held
sinecure offices given as rewards for poliiical ser-
vices, and whieh could be abolished without detri-
ment to the pabUc interests.
Fifthly, it is not tine that any one in the depart
ment had anything to do with organizing the recent
labor demonstration.
Sixthly, it is not true that the parks have never
before been so ill managed, badly administered, or
sadly neglected as now.
On all these points I invite your scrutiny. II in
the whole range of our operaiions you will assist
me in discovering a sinsle faot in support of your
Statements, I will not forego an effort to eradicate
and amend the evil. It is true thai we have paid
$2 a day for laborers while other departments and
outside builders have paid wases very mucb lower^
If any one will take the responsibility of making an
iSRue with me en tbaX question, and stating the ar-
gument for tne reduction I am ready to meet it.
The real point ot the controversy is this— the parks
must be kept up in first-rate order, and all tne
work done in a tborongti manner ; no superficial or
cheap work in the Central Park can be tolerated.
In previous years, an average ot $-25,000 a
montb was expended on this work. When I as-
sumed the administration our appropriatiun fur
tbe rest of the year stood at an average of
$11,000 a montb'. This is indi^putAl'lv luaiifhcient
ro do the work as it onght lo be uoue. We
have produced better results than have ever be-
fore been accomiiliabed in itae whole bi.stury of the
park with that amount <if money, and no one can
make bad management oul sf ;bat.
When the Board of Estimate and Apportionment
made their appropriation tor 1876. and distributed
it iato items, they refused to listen to our plan of
division, and made one wbicb was arbitrary and in-
applicable. ~We have had repeated piomises that
this sb'Uld be amended, ami that tbv money Vvoicb
we saved fiom oiber items for whicn we aid not
want It, should be transferred and aopli:;'! ro the
care of tbe vai'ks, whicn is the primary object of
all our expenditure. If we are compelled to main-
i«in the parks on 811.000 a month, a Wiirk which
has cost our predece»»ors 825,000 a mouth, we cau
do that. If we are uermitted to add tbe saviujis on
other items and to expend them on the Central
Park, we will show equally good results in piopor-
tion to the money we have to Bpend.

WILL MR. TILBEN SPEAK GUtT
To the Editor of tfie A'ew- York Times:
The exciting and prolonged contest over tbe
Presidency has been tbe occasion- of considtrable
disquietude and fear among very many, both in this
City and elsewhere, as to the probable conduct of
the enthusiastic supporters of Mr. Tilden, in case
the as yet doubtful States of l,oui«iana and Florida
are declared to have elected their Republican Elec-
toral ticket. And I believe they are not concerned
without reasons. For, notwithstanding tne efforts
of President Grunt to insure an honest
count in the closely contested and now
decisive States, and bis determination to make the
counting satisfactory lo both parties, as to its fair-
ness, by the invited scrutiny of repu^able uon-
reaidouts representing eacb, there is still a mani-
fest diiiposition on the part of very many of Mr.
Tilden's adherents to overleap all fairnefca, to stir
up sedition and etrif^, and to endeavor to accom-
plish by force that which they may have failed to
reach by ballots. Whether these threats so
boldly uttered are only the production of
hot-headed enthusiasts, or are tho outgrowth
of an as yet unexpressed, yet nevertheless fixed,
determination, finding ; its origin in the leading
counsels of Democracyi we are now, and it would
seem are to be left, in doubt. We all have a right
to eonolnde, however, iso long aa the rank and
file of the patty (which consists of elements well
fitted for seditious sots) continue to proclaim eueu

A DEFJEKCE OF " THK GREAIXBT SHOW O
BARTH."
To the Editor of the New-York Time* :
In the Times of Sunday. Mr. Maorice Strakoa
pr.ie(?ed8 to give a detailed statement of his viet
in reference to a proposed opera temple, and, aft
locating a sice in "his mind's eye," refers to Uin
entertainment as a "low circus," and cismtases the
hniluing with the words, "an eye-sore to tbe netgb-
borhood." To an organism so finely attuned as
must be that of a great musical Impresaario, ie it net
singular that where so much harmony should exist
is found one of the very worst failings of poo*
humanity — selftsbness ?
Mr. Strakosch vroposesin this wonderful Teitplt
to give in one season Italian, French, Euglish, aad i
G-erman opera. Not only weald be wfpe eat tbe '
"low circus" and immoral menagerie, but he wa«14
run the Italian, French, English, and Gennaa opara.
One can imagine tbe poor down and bare-baek
nder and the man who swallows fire, thmr oeeopa-
tion goae, peeping 'neatb "the gigantie l^^sof tills
Colossus to find themselves dishtworable graves."
But think of all tbe opera-honses ruled ^y Umt
Alas, poor Qenqan Ketiendorf, aad Gran with hU
f<iir French boofPers and £ellogg with her Enelisb
notes. Why, this man would besttide tbe narrow
musical world like a god, and over tbe pFtettate
bodies of Gary, Patti, Lucca, aad all, be woifltf

He has selected his stte for his temple. He bat
the refusal of the premises bounded by Twenty-
sixth and Tweotj-seventh streets and Foortb and
Madison avenues, nor is be restricted to the plaee
now occupied as a "loweircas" and menagerie,
but land is fairly thrust upon this gentleman who
"has sometimes made and lost money." It is not
my purpose to detract from the scheme of Mr.
Strakosch. It is worthy of a great genius— tb»--<»
more temples of lyric arc tbe better for lyric art— ''*'
but will not Mr. Scrakosob in bis wild dream of
power let a poor showman live! |f i: is a "low
circus " and menagerie, than it is not a fit eutertun*
ment for Mr. Strakosch to visit with litdiea and
children.
In our menagerie is grouped as fine a eoIAetioa

To the Editor of the JVeic- Fort Tinu* :
An additioual ar^ment may be found ik
support of the poaition advanced by Tbe Tbiks la
reference to the case ot Postmaster SoUxce, from tbe
analogy of section 3 of article XIV- ^ tbe \,
Constitution, in substance as follows : " Ko perMa
shall be a Senator. Bepreseutative in Congrasa,
Elector, &c, who having previously taken an oatb
to Eupoort the Constitution of the United States,
shall have engaged in rebeUion against tbe aame,"
&C. "Bat Congr«8fl may, by a vote ot two-thirds of
ea'ch boose, remove sueb disability." To take the
case of OB Blector, wben deea the dlaabilitv aiise t
Clearly not otitil tbe narepeDtstit rebel aetoallr
attempts to cast hia vote for President ot
Tioe President. Tbo Coostitatioo certainly doee
not prohibit any State or any number of States
from placing on its electoral tieket those to whom
such "disability" attaches, but proliioiw theia
from exeroiting the dmies of their office. Now, the
argument that 1 seeK to deduce is this: If •■
vo e ot two-third* of ejch House of Coogreae,
Bubciequvut to the election of a rebel
Presiaential Elector, removes the disabili-
ty that existed at tbe time of hie electiuo,
and makes it operative, why does not tbe res'gtMk-
tion of Postmaster SoUace. sod its acceptance bv .

"East IiTsne," aod la the wotlc of two Preach play-

Ue fint time iranalated Into Enelisb. "Miss Malton"

IjBamed that chance, thTonph the medinm of
Dr. ' Otftome, is about ' to aeoure for her
the poaition she rfbeks m the very family
which was once her own. Time and trouble have
grsatly changed her, bat the ased BUin, the tutor
of her children, recogniaea her, and urges her to
depart. Longing to see her son and daughter once
more, Fgrncmdt refuses to do ao. In due
Qourae Mauriee meets her. and he, too,
aeppears to be aware of her identity, thcneh he
feiena, almost to the close of the play, to be iznorant
of it A atruEgle between the feelines of the
mother ana the repentant amner then arises, and
extends over four of the five acta of the drama.
Temand* cannot repress her love for her children,
and gradually Mathiide ttrows jealoua of her infla-
enoe. Every word, evsry act of th^ innocent little
ones, ev4>ry remark of JIfatAtlde tortores the sufferer
beyond power of description. At length the
two women meet as rivals, and Fernande,
icoaded. to the verge of madness, betrays berseli'.
As she declarea her name and title to ifathUde, her
hoaband appears. He summons the children into
Itia presonoe, and bids Fernande reveal herself to
them. The thought that their future will be cloud-
ed by the reooUoction of her sin seals hev lips, and
ahe leaves the house in silence. In the last
act Fernande has returned Ao Dr. Otbome, who
soon afterward writes to Maurice that her end is
near at hand. Maurice meets her and brings tbe
«hildren. Aa ahe dies, her hoaband himself places
his daughter into her arms, and Fernande expires

be cegaided aa moral, its treatment is such tbat its
inflaence— if the play of the period exerts anv —

tour exista throngheut the work, but there ia no
halo about the character. This sympathy, called
forth with particular force, last nighty by the
portrayal of tbe principal penenage. promptly es-

who haa been missed — from the metropolitan stage,^
effected ber rentr6e in tbe rftle of i^araA Multon. It

LYCEUM THEATRE.
,' Mr. Edtrin Booth reappeared last evening te-
lore the pnblio of New- York. He received such a
welcome aa he might hsve reasonably expected
from a flrst-Dight aadience iu a City where ap-
l^nse without stmt and solid protit were fur ao
■aany years the constant reward of his profeasional
•xertions. For Mr. Booth never lacked these. He
was always praiaed and paid in a way that would
have gladdened and astonished Garrick or Kem-
ble. It waa only aa a manager that he failed.
Had he been concent with his position as the most
esteemed actor In the country, he might have lived
handsomely, in an atmosphere of admiration, almost
of adulation, and have held the high road to for-
tune for the res* of bis lite. Upon that way he ha«
again started, and on it he will be cheereU by a
great mnltitude of well-wishers. There is good
reason for th* regard in which Mr. Booth is per-
sonally held. His aims are bigb. Ue is a man who
would command respect In any walk of life;
he is a studious and thoughtful acior; all
bis efforts are to the elevation of the Drofe»ston to
which he is an honor : he is personally an attrac-
tive man ; sad he has shown in his private life a
maatsry of himself whioh shoald win him the re-
spect of every man who knows the strength of will
and the elevation of purpose that are needed sao-
Bssafnlly to combat a besetting siu. We gladly
lake the opportunity of Mr. Booth's reappearance
lo secognize hia olaima to the nonorable posi-
tion: wiiieh he holds ; and we do so the more
henrtily because we are unable to regard his
4>erformance of Samlet with that onqualified
ki«*i><w wit-uib it haa received icon many resneot-
able critics, and from so large a portion of the gen-
eral public. Mr. Bo()th always plays, or at least of
late years has always played, with all the advantages
which can ho derived from the most ad-
mirably designed and perfectly appointed
surroundings. His mounting of the plays
In the performance of whioh he was the
central fliure was the result of careful study, nn-
exceptionable taste, and lavish expense. Garrick
and Kemble would haye been more astnolabed at
this than than even at his share of the profits y^hen
he was only an actor. Last evening he did not
laek this splendid setting of his performance. The
beautiful Lyceum Theatre put him before his
audience with scenery and decorations
as tastefnl and impressive, if not on as
large a scale aa those to which he had educated
the public eye during hi-) management of the theatre
that bore and still bears bis name. In all respects
the setting of the piece wa;* admirable. But how a*
to "Hamlet!" And, first, what is "Hamlet?"
—a question which many critics have tried to
answer in words, and many actors to lesDlve
in action. It is hardly yet settled, and yet it would
seem that it ia very easy of determination, and tbat
the doubtin regard to it is in a great measure the
result of an assumption by those who read the play
that Hamlet was conceived by Shakespeare as a
great hero, and as a man who morally and intel-
lectually, as well aa in his person, was altogether
admirable, and of the endeavor hv actors to realize
this ideal. Hence the stage Samlet has stalked
about any time these hundred years, with bis head
in the clouds, neither speaking nor acting like a
haman being, except when he descends to make fan
of Poloniut or of Osric. But it may at least be
questioned whether Shakespeare had any snob con-
ception of his Danish Prmce. He sets him before
us as a moody, irresolute man, who loved and re-
vered a father very worthy of his love and reverence,
and who waa wounded m his family pride and
balked in his personal ambition by a usurping
ancle and a trail motber. Being irresolute and
prone to speculation, his troubled mind vents its
disturbance in words and in little plots, instead of
the deeds to which a really heroic nature would
have been stirred, and the result is a drama of
philosophical speculation and of social satire,
with action enough in it lo make tt move,
it is true, but the chief end of which is
to enable Shakespeare to utter his thoughts upon
the great problem of life in the most splendid
philosophical poetry that the world has listened to
whether in epic or in drama. "Hasolet,"
therefore, ia not a drama of action, or even
one in which elocution of a highly
dramatic character is called for. It is
one in which we are concerned chiefly with the
thoughts ; and witb the situations as the mere oc-
casion of the thoughts; and Prince Hamlet himself
should come before us in aa simple and as natural,
and, so to speak, altogether as unimpressive a war
as IS consistent yrith the situations into whioh he i^
I brown. It is m what he thinks, not with what he
does, and hardy what he is, that we are interested.
But the stage Hamletii a portentoup, pretentioas,
mouthing creature ; a conventional otiaracter, the
embodiment of a century of misapprehension
mounted 0.^ stilts. Now the fault of Mr. Booth's
Samlet is that it is metely this conventional mon-
ster set forth in th^ beat and must finished
style of which be is capable. As the whole
conception is overwrought, so in its executiun
ic is overdone. "Sot only every scene, and
every speech in every scone, but every sentence in
every speech and every word in every sentence is
racked for a point and tortured for an efiect. The
very syllables are sifted : and happy the letter that
esoapes witbout beiug seized and sent staggering
off with a load of accent upon' its hack. Stage
heroes speak as no human mortals ever spoke ; and
ot all stage heroes Hamlet is conven-
tionally the most unhuman ; and of all
Samlets that we have ever seen, Mr.
Booth's, while it is the most thoughtful
and in a certain sense (and a wide one) tbe most ap-
preciative, is the most conventional and the leasf
like a man. To say that Mr. Booth falls in any pas-
sage short of the apprehension of the mean-
ing of Shakespeare's words, would be
very unjust ; to say tnat he fails to com-
prehend the character of Samlet, would he hardly
less a wrong. He knows tbe meaning of the
play a* a whole and in its details. His fault is
in his elocution and iu his acting.
He is so anxious to impress us with his idea of
Shakespeare's meaning, to rub it into us, that the
play trem beginning to end — except a few natural
movements and colloquial passages thrown in to
heighten the effect of the rest — is a frantic exag-
geration. It is like a serious caricature ; serious,
for the intellectual character of his peiformance and
his ability to keep np to his mark, and bear tbe
nervous strain he puts upon himself
precludes all danger of the great step downward
into the ridiculous. But it is in tbe extreme un-
naturaL No human being ever spoke and acted as
Mi^. Booth spoke and acted last evening; least of
all tbe qiorbid, irresolute, moody, speculative man
whom Shakespeare called Hamlet. Nor can it be
said in defense of this misrepresentation of tbe
character — which, it shonlcl be remembered,
we by no means set forth as pe-
culiar to Mr. Booth — that such a
manner of speech and of action i.^ justifiable, be-
cause men in ordinary life do not utter tbetnoughts
that Hamlet utters, for nothing is more remarkable
in this great play — and coming fresh from it, it
seems to us greater than ever — than the fitness, the
perfect uataraluess of every word in it to the situa-
tion in which it is spoken. Lofty as it is in its
ideality, its phraseology could not be more pat
to the purpose of each scene, or to the
meaning of each situation, if ic were a modern
drama of the real school. This Mr. Booth, haidly
less than other actors of the past, seems to fail to
apprehend. He can speak witb the accent, he can
move with the gait and action, tf a gencleman, a
Prince, a human being, as he shows at rare inter-
vals in tbis very play, and notably all through
"Kichelieu;" why, then, does he give
ns snch a monstrens exaggeration of
nature instead of a high ideal of
it } Because he is applauded when he does so )
He may be sure that he would receive not only
higher approval but much heartier applause if he
adopted a style more simple aod natural; for after
bU. nothing touches the general heart so quickly, so
surely, and so deeply as nature. The effect of a
vicious conventional theatrical style of speech and
action is the moie remarkable in Mr. Booth,
Decaase of the fine conception he has
of the character of Hamlet, and of the meaning of
every scene in which he appears — a conception
which constantly appears, notwitbatanding tbe
bad style with which it is overlaid, and which it
sometimes makes almost tolerable. lie teels
his princely nature and (ho iDfluence which his
constant consciousness of bis rank exercises
upon him; he appreciates the satirical turn
ot his mind ; he enters fully into its subtlety and
into its moody waywardness. He eyon manasies to
show the vein of tenderness which runs through it.
Tbis last be brings out with great skill ia his con-
ception of tne scene between ihe Prince and Ophe-
lia— the " get thee to a nunnery " scene— where he
lets the audience see, and almost lets Ophelia
see, tbat— ne ia acting the madman witti her
only because he knows that her father
is not "at home;" but that she haa been made the
lure to bring him nuder ttie eyes of Polonius and
the King. Indeed, throughout the tragedy, he justi-
fies bis reputation as a student of Shakespeare,
but clings to tbe old conventional stage
style of elocution and actiou, which indeed
seemed to have gi'own upon him, and to
be more apparent last evenipg then ever
before. The play, as wu have boforo remarked,
was well put upon the stage, and it was, on the
whole, well represented. Mr. Booth was coustautly
applauded, and was called before the curtain at the
end ot every act. After the last act, the demand
for a speech, usual upon a reappearance, was
made; but with this he had the good taste not to
comply.

stated, an order hid bean received for 40,000,000 car-
tridges, and 40,000 ammunition-boxes in which to
pack cartridges for transportation. The increased

the Turks were guilty of the slightest infraction of

night spoke very hopefully in regard to the
present aspect of tbe Eastern question. He
said all the Cabinets of _ Europe considered
the conference to be tbe means of settling the diffl.-

TURKISH TERKITOftY.
London, Nsv. 21. — The Vienna correspondent
of the Times says Russia has communicated
to the powers the demands for reforms
which (jren. Ignatieff has been instructed
to present at the conference. Tb«y
correspond pretty closely to those last published
in the Political Gorreipondenct. It is reassuring
that Russia, when making tbis communication, did
not mention the necessity of foreign occnnation
of the insurgent provluces of Turkey. It is, never-
theless, certain that the conviction prevails in Rss-
sia that occupation is the only possible way to effect
the disarmament of the Mohammedan population.
It seems that Gen. Tohouvaloff baa expressed this
conviction in London, and suggested 1 1 at France
might, as in the case of Syria, be commissioned to
occupy the provinces, if necessary. The French
GovernmHut however declined. The representa-
tives of tbe Porte abroad have been instructed to
make known its resolut'on tbat the Sultan neither
could nor w onld in any circumstances consent to
the occupation of Torkish territory eyen by the

THE WAR PREPARATIONS.
THE GERMAN ARMY — EXTENT OF THE MO-
BILIZATIOI* OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY —
TURKISH PBEPARATIONS.
London, Nov. 21. — The Times' dispatch from
Berlin pronounces unfounded the mmor of the im-
pending mobilization of two German Army corps.
Tbe limes' Yienna dispatch explaims that there
are two centres of military preparation in Sontheru
Russia. !K'.sheneff is the head-quarters of tbe
operating Army, while at Odessa 120,000 men
are being collected nnder Gen. Totlehen, who is
charged vritb the defense of the Black Sea coast. It
is doubtful whether this force is included in the
six corps whose mobilization has already been
ordered. The impression on the spot seems to be
that mobilization is reall.y going on on a larger scale
than has been officially announced, and that iu
reality more than six Army corps are
actually being mobilized, while necessary prepara-
tions are being made for mobilization at a moment's
notice on a still larger scale. Tbis seems
but natural. A conscription of horses is
in rapid progress. The Government of
Bessarabia has already collected 10,000 horses.

euce being held without anv representative
of Turkey being present until the powers shall
have agreed spon a proaranime, relative to ■ which
the Porte will only be allowed to say yes or no."

6IKNCH FROM THE DKCOMPOSING
BODIES — CHOLKRA BREAKING OUT — THE
THREATENED l^^MIKE.
London, Nov. 20. — A dispatch to the Times
from Calcutta says threa large i.slauds, namely,
Hattiah, Sundeeu, and Dakhin Shahabazpore, and
numerous smaller inlands included in the BacKer-
gungc, NookhoUy, and Chittagong districts, were
entirely submerged by the storm-wave of Oct. 31, us
was also the mainland for five or six miles inland.
These islands are all situated in or near the estuary
of the River Megna. The largest — Dahkin Shaha-
bazpore— was 800 squaie miles in extent. It bad a
popnlatiun of about two hundred and forty thou-
sand. Hattiah and Sundeep together had about
one hundred thousand population. Up to 11 o'clock
on the night of tbe 31st there were no signs of dan-
ger, but before midnight a wave swept over tbe
country to a depth in .many places of twenty feet,
surprising the people in their beds. Dense groves
of oocoanut and palm trees around the villages ena-
bled many to save themselves by climbing amon^
the branches, and some took refuge on the roofs of
their houses; but tbe water burst the houses asun-
der and swept them out to sea. Some were curried
thus across the channel ten miles to the Chittagong
district,bnta vast malority were never heard of again
The country is perfectly flat, and almost every one
perished who failed to reach the trees. There is
ssuuoeljr a bonaehgld in the iaiauda and on tht*
adjacent coast that haa not lost many members.
Tbe cattle are all drowned. The boats are swept
away, and means of communication with other dis-
tricts is destroyed. There is much distress among
the survivors, whioh the Government is relieving.
The Government Gazette says wherever tbe storm-
wave passed it IB believed not a third of tbe popu-
lation survived. The islands have barely one-
fourth of their former inhabitants. The stench
from the putrefying bodies is insufferable, and) a
general outbreak of cholera is hourly expected.
The Times correspondent says the fear is happily
not yet realized, except in NookhoUy, where the
disease has appeared.
News fiom the famine-threatened districts of
Madras is somewhat better. Rain has come in
time to do some good. In Bombay the prospects
are siill gloomy. Actnal famine in two or three
districts seems probable, and great distress in four
or five more.

Rome, Nov. 20.— The Italian Parliament was
opened to-day. The King, in bis syeoch ftom the
throne, referring to the threatening events
transpiring at tbe present time, expressed
confldunce in the success of the counsels
of moderation to which his Government had given
effectual support. Regarding tbe relations between

FOREIGN GRAIN TRADE.
London, Nov. 20.— The Mark Lane Hxpress,
in its weekly review of the British corn trade, says
tbe supplies of wheat in country markets has been
again small, but its condition has improved under
the influence of frosty weather. Dullness has been
the' prevailing featnre of the provincial trade for
both wheat and feeding corn. Several markets
quoted a decline of a sbilling per quarter for Eng-
lish wheat.
Imports for the last week into Londsn have been
more liberal than lately, but the snppl.y of Ameri-
can wheat was comparatively trifling against the
large arrivals of Russian and Indian. Tbe approach-
ing closiag of Russian nayigation will make Amer-
ica our main source of supply for red wheat. It
remains to be seen whether she will ship
freely at present ptices or await advanced
values. The local trade Bas revived, owing to the
political uneasiness, Loudon I'eceiving considerably
over the usual proportion ot imports in consequence
of the heavy Russian and East Indian shipments.
Oats advanced sixpence per quarter, despite in-
creased arrivals, but maize receded sixpence, owing
to the slackened demand. The arrivals of wheat off
the coast were very moderate during the week, and
an improvement of one shilling afadt sixpence to two
shillings occurred. ■

sengers, including four women, came on board at
Puerto Plat&i Tbe men demanded the surrender of
the steamer in the name ot the Republic of Cuba.
The female passengers on the Mocteznma were
apparently accomplices, having made various de-

favor of the captors. The cargo of the vessel con-
sisted of fifty cattle, some two thonaand bags of

FREIGHTS — AN INCREASE IN PASSENGER
KARNING8.
Baltimore. Noy. 20.— The regular annual
meeting of the stockholders ot the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company was held to-day. John W.
Garrett, President, submitted the fiftieth annual re-
port ot thePreiidentand Directors to the stockhold-
ers. The total revenues of the road, branches, and
connections for the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 1876,
are given at $15,031,235 73. The expenses tf work-
ing and keeping tuo roads and machinery in repair
amounted to 1.9,609,856 10, being 56 18 per cent, upon
the earnings, showing a decrease of 2.56 ner cent,
compared with the previous year. The earnings
of tbe main stem and tbe branches, in comparison
with 1875, have decreased $881,817 91, and the work-
ing expenses have decreased 1763.165 59,
making a comparative decrease in , the
net profits of $116,652 32. The surplus
fund representing capital derived from tbe net
earnings invested in the branch and connecting
roads, and other improvements, $36,022,365 88. The
entire mortgage indebtedness in currency and
steillng is 828,163,9^9 50, showing an excess of
surplus fund above the entire morttjage indebted-
ness of $7,853,435 98. There has been a further ex-
pansion of tonnage of through merchandise East
and West from 872,102 tons in the preceding year to
1,093,393 this year. Eight hundred and forty-two
thousand six hundred and thirty-three barrels of flour
and 17,517,946 bushels of gram were brought to
Baltimore duiiog the fiscal year. Of the aggregate
of grain 15,948,107 bushels were corn. The quantity
of petroleum transported has been forty-six. per
cent, greater than in 1375.
Referring to the effect of low freights, the report
says : It will be noted that the largely increased
tonnage of through merchandise, East and West,
shows an aggregate of 1,093,393 tons. Much of tbii
traffic was transported at the needlessly low rates
established by competing lines, a difterence of
ten cents per one hundred pounds, which would
have made an Increase of $2,186,786 in the net re-
sults of the year's work. It is hoped that such rea-
sonable and equitable rates will be adopted in
the future as will foster alike all intezests
connected with the railway system and the general
interests of the country. The passenger earnings
exhibit an increase from 91,518,522 68 in 1874 and
$1,613,239 24 in tue preceding year, to $1,674,475 66.
This result is quite satisfactory, in view of the
low rates during a large port ion of tbe year, wbicU
were forced upon this company in conse
quence of the action of competing lines.
The prolonged stagnation and depression
of the manufacturing and marine in-
terests have again reduced the demand for coal
and resulted in a material decrease of ton nage. The
coal trade of rhe main stem shows an ag-
gceeate of 1.595,894 tons, whicn includes
4U9,605 tons for the company's supply. Tbe
net revenue of the main stem and its
branches, including the Central. Oliia. Lake Erie
and Chicago divisions, the Wheeling, Pittsburg,
andB<(ltimore, the Newark, Somerset and Straits-
ville, and for nine months the Pittsburg and Cun-
nellsville Railroads, is $5,421,379 54. The aggre-
gate woriiiug exneuses or the main stem, with all
branches' and divisions, are 63.93 per cent, of the
whole gross revenues, being 4.66 per cenc less than
those of the preceding year.
The report, after rev1e^^-1ng the condition and
business of tbe several branch roads, couclndes
with that of the Chicago connection or Baltimore,
Pittsburg and Chicago Railway. The earnings of
mis road for the fiscal year were $l,231,78i5 88,
and for the preceding fiscal year ?959,164 23, show-
ing an increase of $272,621 65. Tne surplus
oyer working expenses credited to profit and loss
account is $166,703 02. The portion of tne report m
respect to tuis road naving a direct bearing on tbe
question of through freignt to tne West, and indi-
oatlug the policy ot ihe road is given in lull as
follows :
The opening of this extension to Chicago excited
much jealousy aod antagonism on the part of a
number of tbe competing lines. It was alleged
that tbe traffic relations of the prevloiuly-«xisting
railroad system in the North-west wei'e very seri-
oaily disturbed by tbis new competing element.
It is certainly true that tbe construcdim
of this line gave a direct route between Balti-
more and Chicago, under one proprietorship
and one management, and that it broadly
opened to consumers and producers a
more economical and advantageous port
on the seaboard than had before existed tor tbe vast
regions which it reached. These hostilities by com-
peting companies assumed various torms : first,
by illegal attempts to interfere with tbe cou-
strnction of the road, subsequeniiy by intertorenoe
wiuh agreements for its teruiinal station arrange-
ments iu Chicago, and since generally by such ac-
tion in regard to rates f^r transportation as would.
If in their power, make the properly unremunera-
tive. But in ihesej nrocesses of antagonism to tbis
stfort and cheap line, tne lines to other seaboaid
cities haye suffered fearful lo8j)e8. Untenable, nn-
re<uonable, and unjust demands have oeeii
made upon rhe Baltimore and Ohio Com-
pany to charge rates of transportation to
the City • of Biltiiuore which would .ignore
its immense geographical hdyantages as an
entrepot for foreign commerce. These attacks
nave ueen based upon erroneous principles, are in
violation of the laws of trade, and can never
prevail. The interests of the producer and
consumer, the interests of the whole coun-
try, demand that the great comme.cial
cities on the seaboard shall main talc their proper
advantages of geograpnical relations, so that the
transportation of the country shall bo done at
rates governed by their respective advant.ages.
The great City of New- York will always
command rrom tiiose immense regions which have
natural relations to that port their exclusive tnisi-
nesa. But those western centres of commerce which
are nearest to Baltimore, and the regions connected
with those centres, are entitled to ine economy and
advantage of their nearness to Baltimore, and those
centres of oomnierce snd those regions will expect
to use, and will use, the channel of commerce winch
is nearest and most advantageous. Artifici;!
means by which efforts are made to
ignore distances will always be resisted upon broad
and strong Krounda, wbicU will be sustained by the
common sense anu plain advantage ot the great
population whose interests are involved In ibis
Important question. Tne Chicago division ot
the Bal'.imore and Ohio Road bas already demon-
strated its p<»wer aod usefalaess, aud wnile tlus
company will continue to desire no uuf.iir advan-
tages, it will doubtless maintain equitable and just
priuciDies. Tne report was approved, afier which
the old Board of Directors was re-elected.

In this disease WISTAR'3 BA L9 A. M has undoubtedly

ployed; aud in numerous instauces where patients
liud endured \oag aud severe suffering, without recfiv-

every known rcuioiiy hud failed to produce the desired

FKt;iGHT8— Various influences were In operation
to-d.iy to confine business, in this connection, within
very narrow limits. The severe rain-storm was a se-
rious hindrance to operations. The comparatively
light .supply ot room on berth and char-
ter, and tbe decidedly firm views of ship-owners,
were also against tree movements. The demand for
accommodation was moderate, and mostly from tua
Provision, Breadsculf, Tobacco, and Petroleum inter-
ests. The inquiry from shippers of Petroleum was
much less urgent, the rscent extensive charter con-
trai'ts on this account having relieved tho market of
thehulk of the orders for early sbipment. Rates were
well maintained throughout.... For Liverpool, the en-

TV'est Foortseath street. This establishment is one
iof tbe flaeat of Ite kind in the City, being sitaated
Airegtlx opposite the HaTameyer mansion. The ar-
rest <>f the noted female awiadlet was aoeomplished
>n the foUowiog manner :
On Saturday laat Mrs. Casselman, whose abiding-
plaoe between the 9th and 18th last, la at present
tDkaowD, applied at Mrs. Hnngerford's house
for a comfortable room and bedroom. Intro-
dncias barelf as Krs. - Satherland, daugh-
ter of Judge Wisner, ot Elmira, K. Y.
She did not on that oeoaaion asaqme the grand air
whieh charaoteriaad her actions at the boases of
Ifirs. Bishoo and Mrs. Patnam, bat neverttaelesa
jeaire Mrs. Hnngerford to ondeiatand tnat sbe was a
iiereon of ample means and of high soolal standing.
She also pretended to recognise in the landlady
«» eld acqoaintanoe, and also claimed friend.
alrilp with acme of Mrs. Hnngerford's
friends. The . appearM^o* of Mrs. Cassel-
man, however, waa not calonlated to inspire
Mrs. Hongerford with ooafldence, and it was with
BUtny BilsgiTings that she relaetaatlr consented to
board her nntU Monday. On the same evening,
Mrst Casselman being installed is a finely famished
toom, Mrs. Hangerford conversed for some time
>, wltn her new boarder, and was astonished at tne
. knowledge which the woman displayed of some
Iwnilies well known to the landlady, and she be-
same pretty wall conrlnced tliat Mrs.
Satherland, aa she called heraelC wais indeed
. the person she pretrated to be. Af&tiv went on
in this fashion antil Snnday forsnoon, when Mrs.
Boagerford read in a newspaper a description of
the rscoat exploits of Mrs. Casselman at theestab-
lisiunenta of Mrs. Bishop and Mrs. Pntnam, on
XHftk aTanne. She at once divlaed that Mrs. Cas-
selman and Mrs. Satherland were one and the same
person, bat she kept her aaspioionsto herself. Laat

laaeat -rletima of the adventareas, who accompanied
Ilim to M^ HoQceiford'a. Aboat 8 o'doek, the
paea^o Mrs. Satherland, hearing a gentle knock at
haritear, said, nerronsly, "Come in." The door
was Opened, and in -. walked Capt. Kea-
B«dy, Detective Bosh, Mrs. Bishop, Mrs.
Putnam, and Mrs. Hangerf>}rd. The last-
BentioiiAd lady introduced the amazed occupant of
tile room aa " Mrs. Satherland, ladles and gentle-
aaao." and Mrs. Bishop and Mrs. Putnam greeted
the wrman with, "How do yon do, Mrs. Cassel-

nothing bat obtain board, and the detective, with-
<nt farther ado, stepped forward and intimated
•hat alie was Ilia prisoner, and most accompany liim
to the station.
At the latter place she was at first rather reticent,
bat, after some qaestioning from Capt. Kennedy,
aeknowiedged tliat her name yaa Sarah C. Cassel-
man; that her husband l^ft her two and a half years
aga, aad waa, to the best of bar belief now em-
ployed aa a book-keeper at S^o. 25 Frankfort

I.ee and Aekerman. She insisted that her maiden
tame waa Wisner, and that she was the daughter of
iTadga Wisner, of Slmira. jl patrol man 's wife, who
was -called in to search her, found among trifles in

«Ba. CASSELMAN'S EXPLOITS IN JERSEY
CITY.
' Mrs. Casselman, the confidence woman whose'
trreat is narrated above, figaied very exten-
sively in a aioiilar lOle in Jersey City aboat
HfO years aeo. Sbe bad the same magnifi-
cent ideas and unbounded imaginary weidth
tben as she has now, and succeeded In
awindling several aristocratic lamilies. TTpon ber
first apj>earance in Jersey City sbe rented an ele-
gant browii-atone-front, aituated ou the moat arlato-
cratie portion of Jersey avenue. She fitted the
bouse up in magnificent atyle, and then proceeded
to ingratiate herself into the good (rraoea of her
neighbors. In this sbe succeeded so well that in
the eighteen months sbe remained there she
fleeced ssTeral wealthy families out of large aama of
money, and the landlord out of the rent. Mrs.
Casselman mysteriously disappeared one, night and
nothing more was aeen or heard of ber for a long
time. After a prolontced absence she returned to the
eceoes of ber former exploits and called upon a
gentloman reaiding on Fotirtb street. After giving
a satisfictory explanation of her disappearance and
absence— fur the gentleman had been one of her
victims — abe confided to him tba statement that
•ince Ler departore a wealthy uncle of hers had
dii»d, leavioK ber an immense fortune, and the
famuBS trottiae horse Victor, for which Robert
bouner bad offered her tlO,000 in cash. Mrs. CaaSdl-
maa fondly remembered her old associations in
Jersey City, and loved the place and the frieuds she
bad made so dearly that she bad made up her
mis^d to locate there permapentlj, and wished to
parubaMu a boaae cu Jersey avenue for a perman-
ent reiiideuee. She wahited a bouse with a good

purchase of the boose were completed. The nego-
^ations occupied five weeks, and at the end of tbat

THE OLD AND lEE NEW INEUBOPK
AN INTKRK8TINQ LBCTURE BY REV. RICH-
.AHD 8. 8TORRS, D. D. — RAILWAYS THE
GREAT CIVIiaZKRS OF THB WORLD.
Bey. Richard S. Storrs, D. D., leo tared to a
large audience at Cbickering Hall last evening
npon " The Old and the New iu Europe." The
lecturer was introduoed by Rev. William Taylor,
B. D. Br. Storrs,' in opening, remarked that while
this eoBtinent tras the oldest geologioally, its
civilization was the newest. Mr. Huxley had
found the four-toed, horse in the geo-
logical deposits of the North-west, and ex-
pected to find a atUl older one with four
fingers and a thumb, but it would
pnszle any one to find a eivillzed population here
whose anceatora had been American for three cen-
taries. The reatiess spirit of our people was con-
tinually sweeping away the relics of the past, and
but very few of the landmarks of colou'al and revo-
lutionary times were allowed to survive. Boston,
New- York, Philadelphia — all our cilies. In fact —
had been almost denuded of the relics of
their early history. The result is that we
see so little of the past in oar
own land tbat when we go to Europe,
which to our Imagination is overfiowlng, as it were,
with the treaaurea of antiqaity, we expect to
meet them on every hand, and to find them
everywhere thrnsting themaelvea npon na.
Instead of this, the first things to attract our at-
tention abroad are the great modern im-
provements, many of which excel those of
America. The magnificent docks, pablio streets,
and bnilaings of Liverpool -, the vast metropolitan
featnrea of London ; the gay and laxuriant modem
garb of Paris and Brjiasels and Vienna, and even
the modem frivolitiea of eternal Rome itaelf are
the first to catch our eye. Bat when we go deeper
oeneath the 8aTf<ice, and find the past, it impresses
us all the more from its coexistence with the pres-
ent. Half an hour from modern Liverpool we find
the City of Chester, which recalls so vividly the
old Soman Ctutrum of fifteen centuries ago. Passing
to busy London, we behold the antiaaated Tower in
the midst of the modem bustle and traffic, and in
the excavations of modern Rome we not unfreqaent-
ly come upon separate layera of ^ncient pavement
dating back to the days of the Emperors and the
Consuls. Everywhere this striking contraat be-
tween the present and the past impresses
the mind with a sense of novelty and
interest which in the older civilizations of
the East is lacking. In Earope the old and the
new each magnifies and enhances the other, while
in India and China there is no connection between
the two— no development of the pbst into the
present. One of the most forcible characteristics
of old Earope was the maasiveness and the solidity
of its rains. The aqaedaots and pablic works,
which were now to be found on the frontiers
of the old Empire, seemed to have been built by
giants, in the south and aoatb-east of France many
of these works were to tbis day used lor their
ori/ioal purposes, and in all probability
-would be so used for ceutuii^a to come.
Huge gateways a hundred feet in beiirht ucd built
of enormous blacks of stone, mammoth arapithea-
tres cut out of the solid rock, and pablic roads
which eclipsed in magnitude and durability the
best works of the moderns, were to "
be found skirt
log the vast circle of what was once the Roman
Empire. Even now the reroaiua of Trajun's
road along the Danuoe were the sdmira-
tiua of the tonriat and the arcbaenl-
ogist. The six miles of the Claudlan aqaeuuct
rising over the dead level of the Roman' Campasna,
told an eleqaent story of the peimantnce an<1 dura,
buity of Roman architecture and engineer-
ing. And in the temples, the palaces, and
the churobes of both ancient and modern ,
Europe, the next most striking feature to their
grandeur was their beauty. In the past they orna-
mented construction, in the present we too ofien
eonatroct ornamentation. Take, for example, ihoae
myaterious pillara ot our new Poat Ofiice, swathed
with five or six succeaaive bandages as tboagb a
violent infiammation had broken oat in tba ntone.
iLauiihtei'.] When we see a big Mansard roof on a
socall cottage, or a tremendous portico to a compar-
atively small boose, it reminds ua of Sidney Smith's
donkeys converted into deer by attaching anilera
to their heads. [Laughter.]
Another of the most sinking cbaracteristics of
old Europe waa the tremendous energv everywhere
displayed, wnether in art, war, or reiiuion. We
Reometimes thought of those ages as dull, uninter-
esting epochs, but when we realized the rushing,
surging tide of life in that *ay, the vaat inter.
Citts at stake, and the ttemendous conseqnencea
whieh followed each change in the great drama,
we were .driven to confess the most stirring
of modem periods, tame in companai.n. Of the
energy, the depth of feeling, the intensity of pas-
sion, which animated men in the middle azea, we
could form some opinion by contsmpiating the
paintings and statnary of the great Italian cathe-
driils. The accumulated saints and martyrs, the
endless ancceaaion of Madonnas and cinciflxioD,
the skill and patience and undying zeal
wita which their authors gava np wbole life-
times to the propogation of tne Christian
religion, all . told their own eloquent
story. In other ways the hiaeous relics of the In-
qalsitiou and the aavage modes of resistance which
tney developed among the persecuted, gave evi-
dence « f the same deep pasaionaie spirit of the past.
The thirty year's war destroyed faliy three-fourths
•f the inbabitautsand tbree-f lartbs of the boasus
of all Germany, and the thirty years' war waa odIv
one of the contests which were wagea tov
the success or defeat of contendme ideas.
How the stern, unrielding spirit of the past had
become dwarfed and emascnlated by the growth of
modem civilizntion. Of all living men Bismarck
was the only one who fully repruseuted the old life
of Earope. Fourteen years ago ho was ao insigui-
flcanc that the cyclopedias liiought his name un-
worthy ofjmention ; to-day he loomed up the gieateat
of liviog statesman. As an eighty-ton Krnpp can
non ^Fas to small-arms and polished ordnance, so
was Bisaiarck to the uiplomatists of modern Eu-
rope. [Applause.] Old Europe developed itself into
tbe new by the law cf reactloD,aDd thestaboornness
with which its conservative classes resisted chaugt<
was aometbing unimaginable to the Western mind.
It waa 110 nucommon tbiug while abroad to have a
waiter behind your chair at dinner capable ot
apeakiiig six difierent laagnassa, and who, when
asktid why he does not seek something better, will
say tbat his father and gtandf^thei have bten wait-
ers betore ium, and tbat it is a very rospectable
business !
The railroads were reaUy the great civilizers ot
Europe, and were knitting it together faster than
all the pbilosupbers. Our railways in America had
wiped out the doctrine of State rights more efli:c-
tuaUy than all our Statesmen, and in Earope they
were fast disposing of national prejudice and
bigotry in a similar manner.
Xbo lecturer coucluaed with ph eloquent perora-
tion, descriptive of the future of Earope under the
benign iufiuence of Cbru'.iaiiliy and modern eivili-
zation.
THE OESNOLA OOLLEOTION.
The sum of £10,000 having been ofifered by
the British Museum for the CosuoZa collection cf
antiquities, a apecial meeting of tbe Tiastees of
the Metropolitan Art Museum waa held laat
night to make another effort to secure the collection
for this City. It was learned tbat two days will
elapse before a final answer must be given to the
agent ot the British Museum, and it ii boped that
iu this time the deficiency in tbe Ameritau sub-
scriptions may be supp.ied, thereljy securing the
valuable treasures for the Xew-Yoik Museum. At
tbe meetine last evening the subscription was
raised from ?28,000 to ^33,000, leaTing only $7,000 in
gold to be ootained to-day and to-oiorrow. The
Truateea are hopeful tbat this amount may be pro-
cured without delay.

The annual meeting of the New-York Sunday-
School Association washelJ last evening, in Dr. Cros-
by's Church, corner of Fourth avenae and Twenty-
second street. The exercises were opened by a
brief service of song, led by the Cbickering HaU
choir, which was followed by Scripture reading
and prayer. At the conclusion of the Ijtter, Eev.
Dr. Charles F. Deems was introduced and de-
livered an entertainiaj; address on " The Bible and

VERY LITTLE DAMAaE REPORTED'
THB COURSE AND VELOCITY OF THE WIND
SIXCB FRIDAY LAST — THB DEPTH OF
THB BAIN-FALL SAILING-MASTERS
HKEDING THE DANGER SIGNALS— A
VERY DI8AGKEKABLK DAY IN THE CITY.
The Btorm which has been raging in New-
York and vieinlty since Sunday morning la mest ex-
tensive ID its area. It reaches from Iowa in the
West to the Atlantic Ocean, and stretches along
the coast from Norfolk, Va., to Eastport, Me. It
started, so far as tbe signal service men know, in
Dakota, and has been Journeying eastward since
Friday, to the intense discomfort of the inhabi-
tants of the various cities m its line of march. It
has not closely followed tbe meridian in whicb it
originated. F.-om Dakota it went southward and
eastward to Tennessee, and made Nashville its
centre on Saturday. It then veered slightly to
the Northward, and centred the following day
along the Chesaoeake Bay. From the Chesapeake
it has been climbing slowly up the
coaet and out to sea. Last night tbe
storm seemed to bo along the coast from Cape May
to Eastport. At Baliimore tbe wind was blowing
eighteen miles an hour at 6 o'clock last evening.
At Philadelphia the velocity was thirty-one miles
an hour,, the wind being accompanied with a heavy
fall of rain. From 6 o'clock in the morning un-
til 6 o'clock in tbe evening two and two hundredths
inches of rain fell. Tbe total fall up to last even-
ing was four and fifty six hundredths inches. At
New-London the wind blew nineteen miles an hour,
a light rain accompanying. At Boston ■ a
heavy gale was bl;)wing at the rare ot forfy-two
miles an hour. Rain was fallins most of the day,
the fall from morning to nightfall aggregating one
and forty-two hundredths inches. At Portland,
Me., ihe wind was bloning twenty-five miles an
hour and threatening greater velocity. At East-
port the wind was twenty .seven miles an hour.
In this City the ftorm made its aopearance at 1
o'clock Sunday morning in the shape of a rapidly-
moving wind, whicbtkt 8 o'clock was accompanied
with rain which continued up to-^ late hour last
night. Tbe coming of the storm had been preilioted
by fbe Signal Service Bureau, and the station in
this Citv had displayed the customary danger sig-
nal. Experience has taa<;ht the sailing maatera the
wisdom of heeding the warning from the Equitable
Building, so that when tbev see the red flag with
its black centre in The daytime or the crimson lisbt
at night, tbey abandon ail intentions of puttint; to
sea. Tbe signal of Saturday night was no doubt
the means of averting serious damage along the
coast, for the reports al^ show that tbe weather has
been intensely rounh outside. All day Sunday the
weather in this Ciry was extremely disagreeable.
The rain was not heavy, amnantiog to leas than
half an inch from 7 o'clock Sunday morning till 7
o'clock yesterday morninK, but the cold wiud and
raia together made a combination that put
church-joing people to much discomfort. Tester-
day waa, however, much more disagreeable than
Sunday. The wind attained a much greaier ve-
locity, and the fall of rain inoceased also. At 7
o'clock in the morning the wind blew at the rate of
thirty-two miles an hour, at 12:45 o'clock iu the af-
ternoon the speed was rorty-tour niilus, and at 2
o'clock the gale marked i^8 maximum a< fifty miles
an hour. Duiing the remainder of the day and
through the evening the average rate was about
forty miles. The f.ill of rain from 7 o'clock in the
morning until 6 o'clock in the evening was sixty-
eight himdredths of an inch. The day
was a most unpleasant one for those
whose business compelled them to go abroad.
The streets were almost deserted. Broadway was
n^earlv as quiet as a country highway. Its omni-
buses moved along with hardly a passanger, except
at business hours in the morning and evening. The
street cars, however, were, as is usual in stormy
weather, well patronized, though ridiag iu them
was not at all a pleasant thing to do. In the even-
ing the tbeatrea and other places of amusement were
very poorly patronized, faw persona being present
except those who bad purchased their tickets in
advance.
AS SEEN FROM QUARANTINE.
VESSELS PUTTING B^CK TO SEA BEING
AFRAID TO ENTER THE LOWER BAY-
OTHERS REMAINING IN PORT TO AVOID
THE EFFECTS OF THE STORM.
At Quarantine, Sunday morning, there were
but few vessels in sight, and these were ail lying
at anchor in difi'erent parts of the Bay, their mas-
ters being evidently unwilling to get under weigh
during the continuance of the heavy weather.
Notwithstanding the violence of the wind tbe
water was comparatively smooth in the Narrows,
tbat portion of the Bay being partially protected
from the gale by the high land of Long Island lying
immediately opposite. About 10:30 A. M. the
steamship Baltic, of the White Star Line, from
Liverpool,' and the propeller Har-iaburg, from
Philadelphia, laden with coal, arrived off
Quarantine, and were .boarded by Dr. Thomp-
son. Assistant Health Officer of the
port. The Baltic had made Sandy Hoot light ou
Saturday night, but put to sea again and waited
until daybreak before attempting to enter the har-
bor, on account of the bad weather. The Harris-
bu; g reported a heavy sea and severe storm off the
New-Jersey coast during Saturday night. The
schooner .aitna, trom Stettin. • passed Quarantine
Shortly afterward, having ventured to enter the
Lower Bay on Saturday night in spite of the storm.
These were the only inward-bound vessels that
passed Quarantine on Sunday. A number of sail-
ing vessels, however, succeeded in crossing the bar
and anchored in the Horse Shoe, where, they still
lie. Several steamers were also sighted by the Ob-
server at Sandy Hook, but these, preferring not to
risk the passa;:e of the bar during the eale, went
back to sea. The wind, which had steadily in-
creased in violence during the day, grew stronger
with the coming of- the nlKht, and at
daylight yesterday morning was blowing at
the rate of about fifty miles an huur.
At 9:30 A. M. the steamer Huntsville, loaded with
cotton from Georgetown, S. C, and about two hours
lixter the coasting steam-ship Wyanoke and the
steamer Idaho, of the Williams & Guion Line, from
Liverpool, piiSied up the B«y, the l.ilter having
tal£en her pilot oa board 3ti0 miles out. Early in
the afiernoon the wiud increased in strength, c 'us-
ing a much heavier sea iu the Bay, and traveling
at the rate of at least sixty miles iin hour. Shortly
after 4 o'clock tbe steam-ahip Gamma, from Bermuda,
arrived ofl' Quarantine, and proceeded to the 01 y.
The Halvetia, of the National Line, trom Liverpool,
aijived off the bar in the afternoon, and stood out
to sea again, either waiting for a pilot or fearing
to cross the bar. The steamer Kichmond, cfthe
Old Domipion Line, passed up during the afternoon.
The masters of the Huntsville, Wjanoke, Idaho,
and Richmond all reported having experienced ex-
ceedingly heav.v weather dtiriiie ihe latter part of
their Toyaite. L;ile iu t' e afternoon, the steam-
ship Morgan City, from New-Orleans, wltn a cariio
of cotton, passed Sandy Hook, and was reported
coming up the Bay.
On Saturday but few steamers or saillng-y easels
went to see, the masters of most ot those outwiird-
bound, evidenily preferring to remain in port uniil
the storm ahuulil blow over. On Suuday moruintc
two large side-wheel coasting steamers lift th^r
piers in the City and started down tne Bay, with
the intention ot putting to isea ; but, upon arriving
at the entrance to the Lower Bay, found that it was
impract.caLle to proceed upon their voyage, ana
returned to a saie anchorage above Quarantine.
Yesterday morning one of these Kteamsrs
made another attempt to prose-uto her
voyage, but fa led, and ^ during the
day no vessel put to sea. This storm has been the
heaviest experienced iu the harbor duriu^ tlio pres-
ent ye.ir. aud has lasted loueer. In tbe iqumoctlal
gale if September last con,- i lerable damage was
done to the wail which was built lo iirotecc iho
Quarantine ciounds from tne iucurtiunsof the sea,
me greater yoriion of i: having been
washed away. Tbe wind upon that occa-
si in was irom the suuth-eaat, causing a
vary heav.v swtll. Ou Sunday aud yesierda? fho
wind was from ihe eastward, and owing to the pro-
tecfion afiorOed by ihe Long lalano shore, the
swell has been compaiatively sligbt, but the wind
was sufliciei.tly stron.; and the wa.er riuirh enough
lo prevent low-bojts, sail-boais, or even yachts
Irom venturiiiii i>u(, not one of these crait
being seen off Quaranliue during tbe past two
days. No damatie wurth meuiioning has been
caused at toe Quarantine grouiids, or m the vicini
tv. thus far, iiy the storm. Tbe Stateu Island ferry-
boats experibntetl great difficulty, especially at
hijih tide, iu making laudinas at Tompkinsville,
StapletoD, and Ciittou, and last evening tne last
bo.. I left the island at 7 o'clock, running only from
Tompkiusvilje. ^
It 18 the opininii of seafiring men residing on
Stater. Island, that the Franklin, eyen should she
be near this pori, wou d not attempt to enter dur-
ing the continuance of the ffale.

A grand national billiard tournament, at the

Tammany Hall, and notwithstanding the inclement

on the platform. This tournament, which will last
eight days, is between Albert Gamier, the Dion
brothers, A. P. Hudolphe, George F. Slosson, Mau-
rice Daly, and Jacob Schaefer, all ot whom are
well known to the readers of The Times, with the
exception of the last named, who will mis evening

games are governed by the rules of the National
Billiard Congress, and aie pla.ved on a 5x10 Griffith
&, Oo.'s table, with Delanev's wire cushions, and
with 2 5-16-inch balls, the rule requiring them to be
played with S^s-inch balls having been abolished
by general coneent.
JOSEPH VERSUS CTRILLE DION.
The first game iast evening was between Messrs.
Cynlle and Joseph Dion, and it was generally ex-
pected that some brilliant play would be exhibited.
Such, however, was not the case, for, owing to the
difierence in the size of the balls, the plavers tonnd
themselves sadly at fault, and for a long time
the game exbibited no enthusiasm whatever.
During the day the betting had favored Jo-
seph Dion, the odds being tweuty-tive to
eight in his favor. Game was called at 8:30
o'clock, Mr. Matthew Delaney aotinsr as
referee and Mr. Wilraarth as marker. The players
p.truiig for lead, Joseph winning aud seleciiug the
white ball. In tne tir»t three innings he failed to
score, and his brother only succeeded in scoring
5 during the same oeriod. Pi om this p( iut until
the eisrhteenth inning the play was very poor,
the contestants missing the simplest shots. Mxny
good breaks were made, bat it seemed utterly im-
possible for either of them to hold the ball for any
Idiigth of time, and tbe highest runs tbat
had been made up to this time, were
16 b.y Cyrille, and the same number by h's
brother. At tne end of the seventeenth Inniiig the
string showed .Joseph Dion 59, C.yrille Dion 69. In
tbe next inniag the former again faiied to
score, leaving the balls well set for his oo-
ponent, who played them neatly for 23
pdntB. CyriUe then made 8, aud Joseph
followed with a prettvrun cf 10, pasRing bis first
hundred, and calling forth some little apptaune.
Both contestants now began to improve rapidly,
and in the twentieth inniag CyriUe pla.yed some
biiUiant gathering shots, and added a good run of
45 to his score. " Joe" made another
10. and at tbe close of the inning the game stood,
Joseph Diun, 112 ; CyriUe Diin, 112. In the next;
inning Joseph scored 38 more points; in
tbe twen.y-fonrth, 29, and be had b.y this
time increased his score to 190, while hij brother
bad scored only 15 adtiitijnal points. In the
twentv-bfth inning " Joe " went to work, and a few
neat gatbeiing shots placed the balls ou the ii.iht-
oand cuBUiJO. He then began a cari f al "nurse,"
and did not nrealc the set until he had scored
65. He then made a number of brilliant shots,
enuing the run with S6. Ho closed tbe eame iii
the twenty-tiffhth inni.ig, Cynlle having scored
140 points. Tne scores are appended :

KUDOLPHE VERSUS SLOSSON.
The second game ot the evening was between A.
P. Rudolphe and George F. Slusson, the betli.ig
prior to iti opening being twenty to sixteen in fa-
vor of the latter. The play from the string cave
Kudolphe the lead, and selecting the white ball, he
scored Irom tbe spot, but after making another
point, retired. SIjsbou f llowed with 1, and
Itudolphe made nothing, when Slosson scored 3,
leaviuii the b«U» in good jiosition. Kudolphe played
some excellent gathering shots, and the fourth
inning rolled up a pretty run of 46 Slobson
cot the balls in the upper right-bmd corner, and
ooening With a biiHimt massi, lefi them all in a
lino on the side cuahion. A bank from the other
side of the table, however, scattered them,
and he did not asrain succeed iu
getting them into " nur.-iug " position,
although be played s^me T«iy pietty «hos, going
out on a long draw after having scored 20 piius.
The flub inning gave Eudolpue a good run if 30,
aud he Ufo the ba.ls well tdaced lor his oppo-
nent, who played them weil for 38 po'uts,
making some ve y haudsome bIioi.h. Bjth
pla.yers were exhibiting at this stage of
the game play that was far abuve that
of either of the Dion.", audit, was generally be-
lieved that the. game would b, a short one, ana that
a large average would be made, but before Ljng
the.y began to show signs of iier^'ousnes . Ou the
whole, however, the gaaie was far more iiitereaii ig
than the previous one, and the pUy elicited much
more enthusiasm. Slosson made good runs ot 46 iu
tho sixth, 36 in tbe ti.irieeuib, 50 in the fourteenth,
and 39 iu tbe tweulv-ionrth inuiugs, maKiug an un-
usual number of massi and bank shots. His
opponent also scored wtll-plnyed runs of
61 in the fltieentb, and 30 in the eiguieenth iunines,
the game all the way through beinc close," aud,
therefore, exciting. At the end of tbe twenly-iourth
inning, the string showed Rudolphe 251 ; Slosson.
279. At the end of ttio twenty-eighth luniua', Slos-
son had 3 to go, and his opponent ueeaed 9.
Eudolpue went to wcrk iu a f-low and deliberate
manner, and made some really beautiful shots, win-
ning the game iu the twenty-ninth inning. PoUow-
ine is the score :
Rudolphe— 2, 0, 40, 1, 30, 2, 0, 3. 0, 0, 1 , 8, 0, 0, 61,

or Act of Parliament extending the reciprocal pri-
vileges to our citizens; but m view of the action of
Great Btltaip now communicated, onr Patent Office
will hereafter register trade-marls for British sub-
jects npon the same terms and under the same
reguia ions as those now prescribed bvit, in accord-
ance with the Act of Coneress, for citizfns of this
country. The letter from the London Patent Office
calls especial attention to the fact that prior regis-
tration in the countrv of which a foreign trade-
mark owner is a subject is not necessary before
reg:str»tion in Great Britain. But in ease a trade-
mark ba~ been need belorethedateofenactmentofthe

A OAPTUBED ALLIGATOR.
The Kansas City (Mo.,) Times is responsible
for the following story: "Yesterday morning,
while Mr. Samuel Gardner, the well-known fisher-
man of this city, was out fishing with his two sons
near this city., they oaptnred an alligator. The
presence of a reptile of this species so tit away
from Its natural borne in the sunny South, was
Hometbing unusnaL Mr. Gardner 8a.r8 that at first
he thought u was a large snake with its- bead nro-
Jectine abuve the dr.f.wood, and called the atten-
tion of bis sons to the strange object. The.y forced
their ijEiffcautiouil.y arouno the strange obj.ot. and
were somewhat astonished to find tbe supposed
soaks to be the tail ot an alligator about seven feet in
leostb. After some consultation at to tbe best
mode of kiiliug or capturing tbe creature before it
Could make its escape, it was decided to tackle tbe
varmint then and there without waiting to come to
thecit.y fjr a itun. It required more than ordinary
courage to engage such »n ugly looking monster
with the weapuus the Gardners had with them, which
were merelv knives and clubs. But tbey did it, and
af„er a desperate struggle, in which Samuel Gard-
ner n^rly lost his life, the ugly brute was secured
b.v mean's of nests and ropes, and brought to the
siiore. It was towed at the siern of the vkiffdown
the Missouil Kivor from tbe mouth of the £aw, and
tied to tne shore beiow the oiiy."

COtTRTS.
Our dispatches this mominf; from South
Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida -will be
found worthy of careful perusal. In South
Carolina, the local contest, for it has ceased
to be anything but that, has been tem-
porarily transferred to the State Supreme
Court, and yesterday's proceedings there
are an instmctiTe comment on Democratic
methods of asoetrtaihing the will of the
people. The trick of binding the Board of
CauTassers down to merely a minis-
terial count of the vote, having failed of its
main object, and Gov. Hayes being found to
have a minority on the face of the returns,
the Democratic lawyers asked the court to
order that the board should not certify to
the eleotioa of the Electoral ticket, but
should certify to the election .- Hampton,
he being shown to have an apparent
miy'ority over Gov. Chamberlain. The
impodeuoe of this request seems
to have fairly astounded the oppos-
ing lawyers, and was too much for the
Court, which refused to grant the orders in
the way they were asked for. Bequest was
' then made for leave to amend the pleadings,
which the court allowed, an^ decisiou will
probably be givea to-day or to-morrow. In
Louisiana, the count of the vote by the Be-
tnmine Board has proceeded so far as to dis-
pose of xdne parishes, about which there was
BO contest. The count shows that the Bepubli-
csn majority is fully seven hundred larger
than is shown in the tablas recently pub-
lished in Uie Democratic papers, which pur-
Itorted to give the vote of these places.
About half the parishes in the State are
contested, and an immense amount of work
is before the Betnmmg Board. The Demo-
orats m Florida have also appealed to
the courts, and obtained two orders,
one requiring Gov. Stearns to show cause
why he should not be restrained from can-
va&ging the vote of the State ; the pther, re-
quiring the Board of Canvassers to show
oansewhy a mandamus should not issue
compelling them to immediately commence
the eaavass of the vote. Both orders are
retainable on Thursday. In Washington
the Jackson Asaooiation has solemnly de-
termined that it cannot take part iu the
projected Democratic demonstration, be-
cause of the presence of troops and the in-
timidation practiced by the President !

Bji Telegraph from our Special Correspondent.
Kew-Orteans, Nov. 21.— The situation
here remains unohan^ed. Both parties are ac-
tiTvIy prePimng for the ooatest wbiah is to
eome, and the people are anxiously but quietly
«waitu£ for the result. It aeema to be definitely
iraderstood by both parties that the vote of
Louisiana must decide the Presidential elec-
tion. TheT>emocrata have ^iveix up South Caro-
lina, and they are act nearly so confident about
Florida as they were tkree days ago. The Ee-
pnblicans, on the other hand, know that they
have carried both the States named, and
give themselyes do farther uneasiness about
them.
To-day the Retaming Board, sittine in ex-
eeutivs session, finished the count of six
parishes, making a total of nine already dis-
posed of. Those oounted to-day were as fol-
lOHs: Calcasieu, Cameron, Point Coupee, St.
Bernard, St. James, and St John the Baptist
There was no contest in any of them, and the
Tu!e returned was: Republican, 6,109; Demo-
cratic, 4,704 — vaaMxuz a Bepubhcan mt^ority
of 1,405. Tea parishes, as they came up in
alphabetical order to-day, were protested by
both parties, and the returns Irom them were
laid aside to be considered hereafter, it is now
Msored that at least half the parishes will be
contested, and the board will probably be
obliged to hold two daily sessions in order to
get Ihroajch their work before the first Wed-
uesday in December.
In pursuance of their programme of influ-
encing<the public mind, the local Democratic
leaders this morninj; brought a number of
diunken negroes to the rooms of the National
Democratic Committee, and displayed them as
men who had voted the Democratic ticket from
conviction. One or two ot them made glowing
statemeuts of how they had been abused by
the people of their own color because of their
priueiplss. These statements, and others
equally worthless and unworthy of credit, are
being telegraphed to the North to-night.
This evenmK ex-Gov. Wickliffe, one of the
DemooratJo candidates for Elector at Large,
sent a letter to the Returning Board demund-
jBjj the right to be present and witness the
count. This was granted by the board, and
hereafter the candidates for Electors at Largo
will be admitted to all the session^i, and
the candidades for District Electors to
all meetings in which the vote of
their distiicts is considered. The order ot
the board excluding counsel from its sessions
is considered unwise by some of the Northern
liepublicans now here, and it is probable that
the matter will be reconsidered, and the press
and counsel for botb parties admitted to all the
seaaious. Tbe gentiemeu composing" the board
desire to do their duty'with strict impartiality
and fairness, and th»y are willing to adopt any
and all rules which may secure such a count as
;vili £i7e satisfaction to all the people.

ASTOUNDINCT BEQUESTS OF THE DEMOCRATS
TO THE SUPREME COURT — THEY ASK
THAT THE BOARD OF CANVASSKRS CER-
TIFY THE ELECTION OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC STATE TICKET, AND BE RE-
STRAINED FROM CERTIFYING THE ELEC-
TION OP THE REPUBLICAN ELECTORAL
TICKET— THE PROCEEDINGS IN COURT —
WHAT DECISION MAY BE EXPECTED.
Sy Telegraph from Our Special Corresvondent.
Columbia Nov. 21.— Another day has
passed without getting a decision from the
Supreme Court as to the powers of the State
Canvassers. What puzzjed many minds
from the beginning was to understand
why the Court should be so anxious to
have the returns of the election reported
to them before they could render a decision on
an abstract question ot law. AU the Court was
called upon to do was to decide whether, by
the Constitution and laws of South Carolina,
the Board of State Canvassers were empowered
to go behind tbe returns forwarded to them, and
investigate charges of fraud, intimidation, and
illegal voting, as they have been in the habit of
doing ever since the board had an existence.
What the returns actually were in no way af-
fected the decision of this quastion. And yet
two members of tbe court — Moses and Wil-
lard — have insisted upon knowing who was
likely to be elected or defeated by their de-
cision before they could exercise their judicial
tunotions. When the court assembled this
morning. United States District Attorney Cor-
bin moved to rescind the order of the 17th, re-
quiring the Board to report to the court, and
made a con elusive argument to show that the
order was unnecessary for any purpose properly
within the jurisdiction of the court, and that
it never ought 'to have been granted.
A long discussion ensued, during' which the
colored Judge Wright made the clearest state-
ment that has yet come from any member of
the court He said he deemed it tair to state
that he differed from bis associates
with regard to this whole proceeding.
The relators, he said, first came before
the court with two writs, one of mandamus
and tbe other of prohibition. By the mandamus,
they asked that the Board of Canvassers
should be compelled to do cert|,in work, which
was purely ministerial, to wit — the aggregation
of the returns as received by the County Com-
missioners. The respondents replied that they
were willing to do all the work. Afterward
the court granted an order directing the board
to do just what the relators asked and the res-
pondents consented to do. But the court made
an addition to the order, requiring the board to
report to this court. From this part »i the or-
der, he said, he dissented, because he
did not consider it essential that tne
court should know whether A or B
had been elected by these returns before
making its decision on the powers of the
board. The question before the court was
purely a legal one. If the board were to re-
port who was elected by the returns, counsel
on both sides might enter exceptions to each
name, and the result would be to turn the
court into a political machine. Notwithstand-
ing this lucid exposition of the pre-
dicament in which the court had placed
itself by the order of the I7th,
Judge Moses, with the assent of Judge
Willard, denied the motion to rescind the or-
der of the court, or rather ignored it by calling
upon counsel to produce the report ot the
board. It was immediately brought in and
submitted to the court' It simply aggregates
the returns as they appear on the face of the
County Commissioners' returns, which elect
tbe Kepublican Electors, and all but two of the
Republican State officers, and give the Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, two out of five Congress-
men, and a maiority of four in the lower
branch of the Legislature, to the Democrats.
It closed by saying that the board makes tbe
report in compliance with the order of the
court, but respectfully protests against the
power ot the court to require any report
irom it. It also states that there are nua.er-
ous irregularities and discrepancies between
the returns of the County Commissioners and
managers of election precincts, and that the
board is in possession of allegations, affidavits,
and proofs showing that the election iu sev-
eral precincts of Edgefield, Barnwell, and
Laurens Counties were void by reason of
frauds, intimidation, and violence.
Counsel for the Democrats asked for a half
hour's recess, to enable them to examine the
report, at the end of which they came into
court armed with two orders, which they asked
the court to grant. The first required the
board to forthwith certify to the election of
all the Assemblytnen and Congressmen appear-
ing to be elected on the face of the returns, and
commanding the Secretary of State to issue
certificates of election on this certification of
the board. The second order restr.ains the
board from filing certificates of the election of
any of tbe Presidential Electors or Stata and
county ofiacers, and directs them to set to work
and compare the county returns with those or
the precinct managers and renorfc the result to
court. "*he imnudence of such a request as-
tonished everybody exdept the lawyers
who made it, and apparently took even
the court by surprise. Mr. Cor bin
being asked by Judge Moses what he had to
\ say tepiied that he was so astounded bv the
extraordinary and unheard of application of
counsel on the other side, that he hardly .knew
what to say. He wished time to recover him-
self, and ascertain whether he was insane, or
whether his opponents were. He proceeded to
comment on the remarkable attitude of oppos-
ing counsel and their violation of all known
rules of practice in asking for two separate
judgments on one writ of mandamus. He was
finally cut short by Moses, who said that no
further argument on that point was needed,
as the court agreed with him, and eliould not
grant the orders on tbe present state of the
pleadings. Democratic counsel then moved
for liberty to change their pleadings and sever
their two oases. After a long discussion by
Gen. Conner and Mr. Yeoman 3 on behalf of
the motion, and by Messrs. Corbin and Aker-
man in opposition, it was granted by the
court, and a recess taken for dinner.
On reassembling. Judge Wright brought the
discussion to the main point at issue by asking
Mr. Akerman to give his views on the legal
and constitutional powers of the Board of Can-
vassers. Mr. Akerman complied by making a
very able and thoroughly convincing argument
in favor of the right of the board to go behind
the returns and investigate the manner in
which members claiming seats in the Legis-
lature were elected. It was absolutely
necessary that they should do this
in order to ascertain who were entitled to cer-
tificates of election. These certificates would
determine the organization of the Legislature,
and it was just as important to the people of
South Carolina that fraudulent votes should not
give a man a seat in the Legislature at the out-
set as it was that they should not seat him
there permanently. At the close of Mr. Aker-
man's argument, it being nearly dark, the
court adjourned till to-morrow at 11 o'clock.
There appeared to be little doubt among men
of either party who witnessed the proceedings
to-day, that the decision of the court, if it is
ever reached, will be in favor of granting the
first order asked for by the Democrats, and
many think they will grant them both. Judce
Wright will probably dissent from granting
either. My own impression is that the decision
will be in fifvor of issuing certificates to all
parties according to the returns as they appear
on their lace. This would give the State to
Hayes, but would elect Hampton Governor
and give the Democrats three majority on joint
ballot in the Legislature. A brother of Judge
Willard, said to be a banker in New-York City,
has arrived here. There was a larg6 airay of
Democratic lawyers in court to-day, but none
on the Republican side, except District Attor-
ney Corbin and Mr. Akerman. AU the North-
ern men of note on both sides have gone home.

REAL MEANING AND INTENT OF THE DEMO-
CRATIC APPLICATION TO THE COURTS —
A CANVASS OF THE VOTE WANTED AT
ONCK, TO SHOW HOW MUCH MAJORITY
IS REQUIRED — COUNTY RETURNS KEPT
BACK FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUPPLYING
THE NEEDED FIGURES.
Spinal Dispatch to the New-York Times.
Tallahassee, Fla., Nov. 21.— The fight
begins in a mandamus issue to-day, from the
Circuit Court, upon S. D. jf cLin, Secretary of
State, and C. A. Cowgill, Controller, to com-
pell a meeting ot the Canvassing Board to can-
vass such returns as may be on file
in the Secretary's Office. Two objects are
thus to be reached— first to counteract the
damaging truth now everywhere known that
the delinquent counties are Democratic. The
Democratic managers wish to show how ear-
nest and fair they are, and so demand
that the canvass shall proceed for their
convenience, and thus capture the dis-
cretion which the law rests with the
Canvassing Board, second ; the real object is to
ascertain the deficiency ot their vote, in time
to make it up in the returns yet to come in.
The returns of several counties, in-
cluding Polk, which reports four or five
hundred Democratic votes against a baker's
dozen of Republican, are discretely held back
for the emergency. No other object presents
itself. The State Board has yet thirteen days
margin, by the expiration of which certainly all
the returns will apoear. The people
will look with concern to see whether
such metliods will deceive the cus-
todians of so grave a verdict as that
which rests with the Canvassing Board of
Florida. Plain duty, and a manly sense of
responsibility in the premises, will doubtless
show cause, even to the ablest Democratic em-
bodiment of legal technicality, for reasonable
delay.
The legal question referred to yesterday
comes in to-day, Do the laws of Florida
require the Governor to ascertain and
declare the election of Presidential Electors ?
The Democrats asked to submit argument
on the question, and the Governor requested
them to do so. Instead of presenting
argument, they rush to a Democratic Circuit
Judge, forty miles distant, and get
the Governor enjoined from performiDg a min-
isterial duty, which the law requires at his
hands. The law seems plain. It is the law of
January, 1846, section 5, and provides that the
^returns of the Presidential vote shall be opened
by the Secretary of State, and he shall make
out and sign a certificate containing, in figures
and words witten at full length, tha number of
votes given in the State for Electors
of President and Vice President of
the United States, the names of tlie persons for
whom such votes were given, and the number
of the votes for each, which certificate shall be
recorded by the Secretary in his office, and pub-
lished in one or more newspapers printed in
the State for the inlormation ot the public. And
the Governor shall forthwith make out
tor the number ol persons to be elected, and
who have the greatest number of votes, certifi-
cates of their being duly elected Electors of
President and Vice President of the United
States, and • transmit by special mes-
senger, or other sate conveyance, the
proper certificate to each person so
elected. The effort ol the Democrats is to
enjoin Gov. Stearns trom performing the duty
prescribed in the paragraph quoted, and to do
this they pass by the supreme judiciary of the
Stare forty miles into the country to find a
Democratic Judge, whose couscieiieo is elastic
enough to Bubaerve their parly purposes.

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times.
Washington, Nov. 21,— One would be led
to suppose, on reading sdme of the dispatches
sent from here, that Washington was being
prepared for a formidable siege. Ot course,
this is wholly sensational. For in-
stance, it is stated that " one of
the men-of-war," now at the dock, is
to be swung around, broadside to the Auacosta
Bridge. There is no man-of-war here, except
the Wyommg, which is out ot commission and
half dismantled. The Dispatch and Tallapoosa
have no guns and carry no marines. Tiie idea
that engineers are examining bridges and de-
leses ii also absurd. The most minute and
careful maps of all the topographv and defenses
of Washington and vicinity are on file in
the Engineer Department, and, besides this,
elaborate maps and a description of the de-
fenses was published by the Government two
years ago. The preparations described by
some of the dispatches as in progress here would
require an army of fifty thousand; whereas,
unless future developments should seem to
require large numbers, there are not likely to i
be altogether two thousand men brought here.
Of course Gen. Sherman will see that they are
so disposed as to be used to advantage it there
should be any necessity tor their use. Another
company ot artillery armed as infantry ar-
rived to-day, increasing the *' Grand Army "
that has oeen brought here to about four huu'
dred and fifty men. Officers and men are
given great liberty, and they can be seen on
the streets in all parts of the city, and liberally
patronize the restaurants, whose keepers are
delighted at the presence of troops. There is
absolutely no excitement- now observable here,
but of course Democrats take pleasure in con-
tinuing to make charges of fraud and usurpa-
tion.
The most absurd and extravagant stories are
beinc told to-night on the streets about the
purpose ot the Government in bringing troops
to Washington, and about the movements
of troops themselves. One story which
finds many believers among the Dem-
ocratic fossils is, that _^the Republicans
Who are now in Louisiana and Florida at the
request of the President to witness the count-
ing of the votes, have arranged to have Hayes
counted in ; that the President has been in-
formed of and has approved this purpose, and is
preparing to sustain such a count at all hazards.
One o±cited individuaihas been on Newspaper
Row, protesting that the liberties of the people
are to be struck down by the minions of Fed-
eral power, and in proof that the tenible
blow is soon to come, related that he
saw one hundred thousand rounds
of small - arm ammunition delivered
to-night at the Arsenal by the Adams Express.
Another excited reformer reported that men
arc quietly working with dark-lanterns at the
Arsenal and Navy-yard filling shells and
getting big guns in serviceable con-
dition ; while another confidentially informed
a correspondent that each of the 450
soldiers who recently arrived was given two
dollars to-day, and that they were sent out in
squads to make observations that will be of
service when the dreaded clash of arms comes.
A number of other stories, equally wild and
extravagant, are being circulated, and
doubtless many of them will be served up to-
morrow in some of the papers that have already
printed columns of rubbish touching the appear-
ance of less than five hundred troops in the
national capital.

The board was called to order by John V. Hall, of

minlatered bj- Whitman G. Ferris, Justice of the
Peace, and present S ate Auditor, and the board
organized by tbe choice of Royall Tyler.
Cierk of Windham Countv. as Chairman. Mr. S.
C. Shurtlt ff, of Montpelier, appeared as the repre-
sentative of the Democrats, and desired to bo heard.
H'.s request being granted, he said that he requested
the board to certify certain fsots. The question to
come before them had been so much discussed in
the puiilic press that it had become one of national
iiu^iortaDce, especially in view cf the fac: that tha
the election wa^ so close that one voto might de-
cide it. It was, moreover, ot importance I bat it
bhould be fully oonsi'leced and called to the aitouiiou

aeuied rueieiu wera simply ministerial, but the
statute did not stop bete. The (J2 I section made it
the Uuty of tbe oauvaasers to <ertify wjtat voceo
were illegal, and this conferred upon thciu
iudiolal power. If this is so, tliey must
ascertain whether votes were legal or ill aal, and
this raided tho question whetbir or not tboy woul J
receive testimony outaiue of these retarua. It so,
he proposed to prove that Henry N. SuOice, of
Britipori. was at the time of this election a Post-
master, and thus, lioldins an office of prodt
or trust un ler th« United btutes, ho was
ineligible to tne ofiice of £leocor. liethuuebt the
board bad tbe right to aicortain whether or not a
man was ineliKible, and upon a mere sasKestlou of
such a fjct it was their duty to iuqiiire. He Chen
quoted largely from the case of " Xbe Peopie vs.
Steere." reported in 50th New-York Reports, and
from, caaen in California, Illinoia and Pennsylvania,
to dhow that if a candidate waa ineligible on the
dav of election a subsequent resignation, though
prior to the canvass aud declaration, would not
make him elicibl'e. The next question was whether
if SoUace was ineligiDle-lba person receiviog the
next highest number of votes was elected) Ue
admitted this was an open question in Ver-
mcmt; that it had been decided both ways
in the United States. Bathe said that by the leeisla-
tive practice in both branches of the General Court
of Massachusetts, by parliamentary practice and
judicial decisicm in £n£laad, and by decisions in
Indiana and niiuois, and it was so held by a mi-
uority of the PeDns\lvania court, where votes
were cast for a person ineligible ic was as
if they had not been cast at all,
the persoD receiving the next higheit number of
votes waaclBcted. Ou the other hand, tbecuuriaof
California. Peunsylvanis, and New- York had de-
clared that the vote fjr an ineligible candidate did
not elect the next highest, but simply created a va-
cancy. In tho main it was decided that even votes
f ir a dead man did not elect the can.
didate receiring tho next highest number
i.f vott^s, but simply created a vacancy. He
main t.aiued the board could not finally determine
whether or not a candidate was elected, as that
would beaquestion for thecourts. He regretted, the
Supreme Court not now being in session, that their
action could be invoked by the usual methods :
but if tbe board should declare, aa he believed it
to be their duty to do, that ^stey, Houghton,
Farnham and Welch were elected, that
SoUace, being ineligible, was not elected,
that either a v.icancv was thus created or Aldriob
elected a.t tbe candidate having tho next highest
number of votes. Or if they stiould simply ascer-
tain and return the number cf votes received by
each, and report them, and the fact of SoUace's
ineliKlbilitv to the Governor, he, under the statute,
could obtain the opinion of the Supreme Court
for his gul.lance in the mattar. He eaid
the ca^e in tiftieth New-York made the
point that the voters were isrnorant of the candi-
date's ineligibility, and therefore the candidate re-
■ ceivinK the next highest onmber of .votes was not
elected, and he considered the voters in Vermont
were ieuorant of SoUice's ineligibility. If it should
taro out that the five Democratic candidates had
each an equal number of votes ttieo, of course, un-
der no rule could one of them be returned as elected,
but a vacancy must be ceriifled. He closed by ask-
ing leave of the board to he permitted to show that
Sollace was, on the day of the election, a Postmas-
ter, and the board should accordlnsly nertity that
fact, and thereupon declare either that Aidrich was
duly elected, or that there was a vacancy.
Hon. Frederick E. Wocdbridge, of Vergennes, in
reply, eaid that he should attempt no answer to tbe
legal points made by Mr. Shiirtleff, because he did
not consider that they were before a tribunal com-
petent to pass apoo ihe questions rai-ted. He did
not doubt they could be suceessfully answered, be-
cause tbe whola current o^Iaw ie ttiat m tbe case of
an ineligible candidate the person re-
ceiTine tho next highest. number oi
votes does not receive the election. The only case
aeaiDstthisruL- in this country being ouein Indiana.
This is. gaitl he, in no sense a judicial board, but one
simply of Miuisttirifllt auctions. Its duty is clearly
aetlned in to* statute, and they could neither go
beyond or stop short of it. He then read and com-
mented upon the statatc, claiming that its
terms made this board simcily a ministerial
boay, and tbe power given by section 62 was
simply to reject a return which was clearly illegal.
as where tho returns were unsigned, a wrong day
of election named, &c. In any event, tbe speaker
claimed that tbe votes cast for Sollace were not ille-
gal. A vote ran be legally cast for a minor, or any
other diaquallQed person, and the tact tha:
the person so voted for, if he receives the jjreatest
number of votes, is ineliEible, simply creates a
vacancy, and does not elect the rival candidate re-
ceiving the next greatest number. He had no in-
tention, however, of discussing the question, as the
board had nothing to uo w:th tollAce's eligibilUy or
ineligibility, but were simnly to connt and certify
the votes cast.
Hon. Warren French, ot Woodstock, briefly ad-
dressed Ihe boaril, suajtainins; the position taken by
Mr. Woodbridge. Mr. Fifleld, of Montpalier,
United States District Attorney, said that he felt
that he had no rieht to anpenr before the canvass-
ers, because no one haiJ >uch a right, but he ap-
peared at the request of styeral gentlemen, and he
asked their indulgence while he said a few
words. The question, said he, is not what is fair,
or what is courteous, bat what is law. Anything
yon do beyond the duties presented by law in extra-
judicial, so to speak, and would be a mere waste of _
paper and time. My anbwer to the whole argument'
of Mr. Shnrtleff is. that you don't know that
SoUace is Postmaster, and you have no
power to find it out. If you can
take one scintiUa of evidence, yoa can keep on
taking testimony for eight ween.". You cannot
rasa upon the question raised, because you are
nothing but a ministerial board. Tbe question was
dei!ided bv the Supreme Court of Missouri, in The
State vs. Steere, when they held that
Canvassers were merely ministerial oflBcers
to cast up the votes and give cei-
tiflcates cf election to tne persons receiving
the highest number of votes, and were without ju-
dicial power. The same doctrine has been held in
New- York. Pennsylvania, New-Jersey. Indiana, Il-
linois, Michigan, Alabama, Maine, Minnesota, and
in other States. In fact, it was, until within a
few years, the law oi every State m the
Union. But now, for the protection of
the freedmen, (and thank heaven it is
so,) it has been changed in South Carolina, Florida,
ana Louisiana, and perhaps elsewhere In your
certificate to the Governor yon simply inform him
which five men have the greatest number ot votes.
Ton don't teil him that Aldrich or any one else
had a single vote, or how many votes any one
had, but the certificate that goe.s to tho
Secretary of State gives the ivotes each person
receives in eacn town in full, and it on the face of
the certificate the vote Is void you reject ir, and
this you certify to the Secretary of Stale, not to the
Governor. In the certificate to the Governor you
simply certify the five men, naming them,
who have received the higbest number
of votes, and yon cannot go beyotid
that simple jitatement. It may be
the misfortune of the Democrats that they cannot
appeal to the Supreme Court, but if they should go
tnere we should meet them, and argue that the can-
didate haviug the next highest vote was not elect-
ed, but this board cannot pass upon tnat questloD.
Ic can only certify. It may not be fair, it may not-
becourteoQ!". but It islaw, and that ends the mat
ter. The will of the people cannot and will not be
defeated by auy machinery, and Vermont's five
votes will be cast tor the RepuDliean candidates, as
the people intended,
Mr. Shurtleff briefly responded, recapitulating
the points made in his opening, and presented the
following protest:
To the Board of Canvassers of the vote for Electors
of President and Vice Prenident of the United
Utatcs for the State of Vermont, now in section :
Tho uuilemigneit respectfullv requRst that
you report to the Secretary of State,
and to the Governor of this State, official-
ly, that Henry N. Sollace, one of the candi-
dates for Elector, was at the time of such election,
on the 7tu day of November, 1876, bolding the
office of Postmaster, in Bridport, in this Stale;
and we protest against your declaring the saitl
Henry N. Sollaoe elected or appointed an Elector,
for the reason that he is ineligible according to the
Constitution of the United States. We further re-
quest yon to declare the person having tbe next

MOSTPELIEE, Nov. 21, 1876.
On the reassembling of the County Clerks in the
afternoon, Chairmau Tyler proposed the question
whether the board considered itself a judicial or
simply a ministerial body. John V. Hall, of Ben-
nington County, then offered tbe following, which
was unanimuunly passed:
Eesolved, That this Board of Canvassers are of
opinion that their powers are simply ministerial,
and that their duiies are already defined by the
statutes of this State, and they therefore decline to
hear or receive evidence outside of tne ceniflaate
of votes by the proper authorities.
The board theo pioceeded to its regular routine
work of canvassing the votes, after which all the
members signed their certificate to the Govrnor
that Messrs. Estey, Houghton, Farnbam. Welch,
aud Solli.ce, the regular Kepublican nominees for
Electors, had received tho largest nucfber of votes,
and were therefore elected.

THE SECRETARY OP TILDEN'S EXECU-
TIVE COMMITTKE ENGAGED IN THB
BUSINESS — LETTERS AND TELEGRAMS
THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
Those of our readers who have been slow
to realize the real aims of the ex-rebel Demo-
crats ot the South and their Northern allies
will probably awake to a sense of the impend-
ing danger after reading the facts set forth
below. It is no exaggeration to say that the
Southern portion of the Democratic Partry is
to-day aa full of the spirit of rebeUion as It was
in 1861, and if it is not quite as ready to break
out into open war against the nation, it is due
to a wholesome remembrance of its punishment
m the past, and the apprehension that
a li]ie chastening "luay await it iu the
future. The sale of arms and cannon to the
rebel rifle clubs, which is described below, has
been going on over since the commencement of
the canvass, and to add to the ignommy of the
transaction, the Governor of this State and
present " claimant " for the office of Chief Mag-
istrate appears as the purveyor of field ord-
nance to the rebel artillery companies of Mis-
sissippi !
Since the close of the Presidential canvass,
and when it became known that the election of
Tilden depended upon the vote of the Southern
States, the Damocratic orgatis have unceasing-
ly declared that the disputed States had un-
doubtedly elected the Tilden electoral ticket.
Various instances have been cited in Thg Times
illustrating the manner in which the election
had been conducted in the South, but at tbe
same time very few people are aware to-day of
the extent to which the Southern Democracy
had purchased arms and ammunition in this
City alone for tho purpose of maintaining the
" solid Soutb." It has been ascertained from
no less responsible authority than the dealers
in arms themselves that during the past three
mouths fully twenty tbouaand stand, of arms
have been bought, paid for, anS. shipped to the
Southern States, the largest share going to
South Carolina and Mississippi. The purchas-
ers were generally merchants and banking-
houses, who acted as middlemen to rifle clubs
and artillery companies, or purchased them,
according to the demand, tor sale in their local
markets. Every extensive dealer iu arms
and ammunition in this City has
done a good business in this way,
a fact which all of them acknowledge, although
few of the firms are willing to state the extent
to which their sales have been earried. A
member of a prominent firm on Broadway
stated yesterday that there never had been so
great a detnand for small arms, such as pistols
and revolvers, ih tho South as during the late
Presidential canvass. In the State of South
Carolina alone, his firm had disposed of 1,500
pistols and revolvers during the two months
previous to election, ana the demand had been
good from other Southern States, although not
iu such large proportion. Au extensive dealer
in lire-arms in Chambers street, said
he had done a good trade iu shot-
guns in the Southern States during
the entire Fall. His customers had been
merchants and dealers in hardware, who had
bought these weapons in lots of from half a
dozen to a dozen, in nearly every bill of goods
purchased. A member of a firm in Maid«n
lane, while he was, not willing to parti cular-
ize, stated that he thought it was safe to say
that from 10,000 to 20,000 stand of arms had
been shipped to the South from this city during
the three months previous to election, and a
large quantity of arms and ammunition was ,
also distributed throughout the South from
Baltimore, and other Southern cities, which
had been purchased direct from the manufac-
turers. The trade of his firm in pistols had been
unusually large, but he deolineu to make an
estimate of the number of gnus, and other
weapons his house had sold within the
period named. A gentleman who is , a
member of a leading gun firm in this
City who, to avoid notoriety, desired th it his
name be withheld, but who stands rejidy to
support his assertions before the nroper author-
ities, if necessary, corroborated the statement
previously made, that fully 20,000 stand of
arms had been shipped trom this city to the
South within the previous three months, and,
to give color to his statements, submitted a
number of telegrams and letters from the par-
ties purchasing arms and ammunition from his
bouse, of which a few of the choicest specimens
are appended. The first one given, as will be
seen from its perusal, is from the Democratic
Executive Committee of Macon, Miss. Unfor-
tunately the first letter, ordering the cannon
mentioned, had been mislaid :

yon herein telegram from the Secretary of the Na-
tional Democratic Executive Commictee, eiving
price of same size and character of gan. The dis-
crepancy in the prices is so very ereat that I have
concluded to call your attention to the matter, ia
tho hope ot obtaining a rebate on the price charged.
(Tour draft for amount of invoice was paid to-day.)
If there is any "trade discount," and I presume
tnere is, we want the benefit of it, and hope that
wo will not be considered nnreasanable in asking it.
I have inclosed your invoice to Mr. W. S. Andrews,
Secretary National Democratic Executive Commit-
tee, rcquestiog him to call on you, and if right, and
proper to bo made, to obtain a reduction in the
price charged us. Yours truly,

It is a singular fact that the value of this
6-pouiider gun was fixed by a no less eminent
.luthority than tho Democratic Governor of
this State and whilom aspirant for Presidential
honors. Some time during the early part of
the Presidential canvass, according to the rec-
ords in the Adjutant General's department at
Albany, a 6-pouader gun was spld for $175 by
the Adjutant General. Franklin Townsend.
Tbe actual value of these ^ guns is $425, and
thus not only was the State the loser of the
difference between tbe actual and the fictitious
values Qf fepQ^nd^rjoannons — $350r-bnfc aji at-

drewe, and a personal toel of Tildffli luauelf.
In replying to the letter, the dealer admitted
that there was a Bensible reduction in the irriee
quoted and the prio« fixed by himself, but d©;
elined to make the redaction, as he said Mr.
Andrews miut have oooapied some exceptional
position under tho State Government vo be

be glad to avail himself of the services of Mr.
Andrews as a purchasing agent for his firm.
In Natchez, Mississippi, an artillery coiiQ»ao>
was formed just previous to tho eleotien. That
its object in organizing at such a time ' was a
desire to be useful as well as ornamental, ia
shown by the promptitude with whiob thoy
placed in the hands of a hardware dealer hi
Natchez a commissioa to purchase for them a
brass 6-ponnder cannon, with limber and car-
riage. The letter ordering the weapon is ap> .

In nearly every town in MiasiBSippi artillery
companies and rifle clubs have been establishedt
and a large proportion of tbe arms tnmished
was shipved from this City. The foresoing
correspondence is only a small sample of the
extent to which the business of selliuf arms is
being earned on between New- York and v^irioae
towns in Mississippi, but a raffieient amount to
fill an entire page of a newspaper could be ob-
tained, if necessary to corroborate the statemeoti
here given. In South Carolina,Tifle clubs are more
in vogue, as being less expedsive, and answer-
ing the purpose of terri^ring the blacks equaUj"
as well as artillery. As an instance how the:
trade in arms and ammnnition is flonriahiag ia,
that State, the following telegrams are sulmtttt
ted in evidenca :

Before this order was filled, the exigencies of
the case in Charleston increased, and the najn-
ber of guns was largely swelled by means of
the tollowiug telegram:

So uncertain are Democratic pledeea, an4^
"promises to pay" in the South, that in fillinj;
all orders the dealers in this City require readv
cash or its equivalent, consequently the arms
and ammimition ordered has generally been in
small quantities, but as these orders bavo
steadily rolled in for over three months, it does
not require the skill of the World arithmetaolaa
to prove that the " chivalry" of the solid South
is pretty well suppUed with the means to ter-
rify, the colored people and peaceable white
Republicans, many of whom' have not the meana
wherewith to purchase arms and ajn,mnnitioB„

Washington, Nov. 21. — The Democratic
Jackson Association of this cityto-night decided
not to take part in the Tilden procession here-
tofore announced for the 29th inst This is aa
association of old men, and perhaps they
concluded the march would be teo
severe for them. The reason they assign for not
participating in the precession, is 'the preseaoe
of troops and the intimidation practiced by tha
President! The manager of the intended pa-
rade says, to-night, that there vrill be no offen-
sive transparancies. The display will be
chiefly of torches. Abram S. Hewitt aud
Senator Bayard have accepted invitations to
be present and speak. There appears
to be a feeling of pr ndenoe arisinj;
among the Democrats, and an indisposition
to parade till there is more certainty. A meet-
ing will be held to-morrow, at which the ques-
tion of postponement will be considered. The
idea that some one has advanced^ that the
negroes were likely to attack this procession,
and hence the burned presence of troops in tbe
city, is one of the most amusing suggestions
yet made. It is very likely that the prooessioa
vrill never be formed

Prof. Haeckel for ^eclariPg that the " assumx>-
tioB Of an arcbsenesis for the first liylnj; being
is alofrieal postulate of the humah inteUisence."
Ba asks, with an air of indignation as well as
of superiority, whether it can for a moment be
assumed tiiat untbinkin«c inatter is capable of
oombining to transcend itself. And he answers
it by declaring it to be iinpoasible. Then, in
jtnother place, (page 215,) he tails us that unless
tb«r« is stxoh a thine as spontaaeous generation
•f life there is a break in the process of evo-
lution from the inorganic to the Organic. So,
rather than adopc so shocking an hypothesis,
h« says: "I believe in spontaneous genera-
tion as more ooosonant with Infinite Intelli-
gence in providing tor adaptabla sequences."*
Tben, at page 70, Mr. Townsend is a scornful
opponent of Dr. Charlton Bastian, while at
page 215 he ranks himself under that gentle-
man's standard, and frowns at all who difi^er
from him. What Mr. Townsend's views really
•re, tberafore, npan this interesting snbiect we
dfo sot know. We are consoled with the
tiioneht that it is very immaterial, and that
n^tber soienca mar hnmanity will either lose or
gain anything as a consequence of the feeility
with which ho avow* himself a disciple of two
doctrines wblcb are diametrically opposed to
^aoh other.
At a measora of bis knowledge of physiology
•ad minute anatomy, he tells us that the blood
alona, of all fiuids, contains "globules with
nuclei," and he describes these globules as
"creatures," and as endowed with the faculty
of "intelligent action." In what be calls an
•oaonnt of the origin of vegetable lite, be shows
the mast profonnd ignorance of recent experi-
ments on the origin of infusorial life ; and then
fsoes on to attribute the movement of the sap in
" many tall trees" to the labors of minute liv-
ing intelligences ! He believaa that the sweet
odors of flowen, and the varied tastes of iruit.
Sec, are due to the effluvia ansing irom deoom-
posing bodies of aaimalcules, (page S31.) He
tells OS that the moon does not revolve upon
Its axis ; that coal has not a vegetable origin ;
that the sun is merely a huge 6leetris light ;
■ad that, of coarse, the speotroseope is a de-
losion and a cheat. How little be approciates
true science, may be gleaned from the fact
that fie enumerates among established sciences,
phrenologj; — that fiotiau which is especially re-
markable for being deficient in all the qualities
irhich alone would entitle it to such rank.
Bat Mr.'^wnsend elaims to be somethlDs;
more than altbeorist. He has a laicroscope, a
wonderful instrument, wmcb has given him
lome " aatouoding developments." Moreover,
this microscope has a power of 785 diameters,
and although the best soientifio observers
readily acknowledge the difficulty of using
iQoh high powers. Mr. Townsend is free from all
like weaknesses. Accordingly, when be exam-
ined a small drop of fresh sap &om tne stem of
a fuchsia, a drap which' when spilled on the
field oceapied a surface of less tbfin a quarter
•f ik Inch in diameter, he foand it to be filled
with just 2,^50,030 living creatures, animalculsB,
in fact. ^6 measured them, too,'^ and lound
that they varied trom the 390th to the 7.800th
of an inch in length. These were the little fel-
lows who, .when inside the plant, pumped the
sap about, and who If they hai been in a rose
pr a lily, instead of a fuchsia, would have died
and given out a smell, but being in a fuchsia,
^■nd not in a rose, they . only died. They gave
put no smell. Microscropists will better ander-
itaad Mr. Townsend's powers of obaervatiou,
and, too, the powers of his instrument when we
tell them that he not only saw and counted and
maasured'bis animalcules, but discovered that
in the smallest of them there was a " hollow
nucleus."
This is the kind of stuff whic,h is doled out in
some quarters as science, for many of the arti-
cles have been published before, and it is such
men as the author of them who have' the audac-
ity to criticise Hereehel, to ridicule Sir Charles
Lyell, and to dcnounoe Agassiz as a "preja-
"diced religionist " and a humbug.
' If Mr. Townsend bad contented himself with
Sllinghis book -with bis notions about science,
w& should have lett him alone, as a member of
Shat large tribe of people whose business of life
leems to be to revel in their own ignorance,
!ind to try to elevAte incompetency to a place
among the fine art.s. But when a man of this
kind begins to try to knock things down, there
, is usually no limit to bis vagaries. Nor is there
in Mr. Townsend's case. He is not contented
with sweeping the universe, but must under-
take to prove that the Biblb is a wicked fiction,
'and that Christianity is ridiculous nonsense;
He has enough sense not to wish it to be
tfaought that he 1% an atheist, bnt he denies the
•ntbenticity and truth ot the^ SeriptureSj and
■^ the divinity of the Founder of"the Christian
faith. Nor is it for this reason that we notice
him ; bnt rather because it is an undoubted
fact, one, therefore, that should not be passed
by as uaworthy of consideration, that the
Views he propounds are daily gathering
Strength, and that the doctrines he enuneiatea
are becoaiiiitf so inucii the doctrines of an in-
creatiinu s°cuoii of the people that theologists
and prof(',s8;)r8 of religion would do better to
l^ve thom attention, than by buayinj? them-
selves ab^at aairaportant tbins;« and quibbling
over trifles. It is of no uss to slur over these
things as the clor^y are too fond of doing.
Theologians have doubtless erred in past times
, in beint; too pruoisa in their dates and defini-
tions. IftUey had been le.ss emphatic in their
a.'iserrlons, as for example, as to the date ot the
oi'eation and the interpretation of the account
of it, they would not have hs^d to yield so much
as they have before the demonstration;! of
. Boienoe. It would be puerile to attempt to
deny the great importance of the recent dis-
coveries among Chaldean reoorda, but
the weight they throw against the
inspiration of the Mosaic raeord would
- never have been as great as it is if theology
had been less positive in its theories. Skeptics,
,or vatlonahsts. of whom Mr. Townsend is a fair
^ representative, readily avail themselve-s of the
i^ppportuuities thus given thorn— that, too, bo it
■ observed, by the voica and dictation of theolojjy
itself— to uony the inspiration of any of the
Scnpturea, and to seek thereby to undermine
the whole leuudation of the Churcdes. No be-
liever in Curistianity will read the last chapter
—and 80I110 others— in this book without being
pained. Yet be cannot deny that there is a
great deal of plausibility and some truth in
them. Wbilo, then, we may regret that skep-
ticism prevails, the bare fact that it does pre-
vail should show the necessity of meeting it
and replying to it| at "well as the dire folly and
inoe— nor, If it were, have we the space to do
Jtistioa to the subject— «to attempt in this plaee
a reply to Mr. Townsend's teaohings. But, as
one of the many problems which may be pre-
sented to persons of his measure ot disbelief,
we may mention the dastruotion of Jerusalem
by Titus— an event not only foretold b.ythe
Founder of Chnstiaaity, but anticipated by
the prophets, and as far back as the days of
Moses. ' And, too, foretold not only in a broad
and general way, but with details of time and
ciroumstance, every one of which Was striotljr
and litorally fuifillod.
Mr. Townsebd may be an Ignor&nt man ; but
the little knowledge fie possesses is dangerous
to himself and to Others ; and for that reason
his ignorance, his preiudioe, his inability to see
things except as he wants to see them, his utter
incapacity for taking all the evidence and treat-
ing it comparatii^ely and iudieially, are no
reasons why he should be left to go along un-
impeded in the dissemination of his doctrines,
more especially when they are also the doc-
trines of many others. We are not prepared to
say that the average reader would think the
volume before us olieap at any price whioh the
publishers might bo disposed to ask for it.
But still, we think, in the present conditien of
public opinion, theologians might be much less
profitably emoloyed than it they would take
hold of the teachings it contains, and treat
them, not as too fpolish to ba dealt with seri-
ousiy. but in a manner that would reach the
recksons and understandings of those persons
who are the most likely to become Mr. Town-
send's disciples. ^

But in omitting all reference to Florida and
North Carolina, the compiler has neglected
two States which just now are attraot-
injj considerable attention, as well as the
two aboat which it is most difficult to
learn all tde trath. Even in the case ot Flori-
da, whioh is so loudly extolled by persons in-
terested in it, the most diverse opinions are
to be heard from people who have lived there,
and who are therefore supposed to know some-
Ibing about it On the one hand, for example,
the healthfulness of Florida is ur^ed as an in-
ducement to settlers, while on the other, we
hear of the prevalence of ague in the State to a
degree hardly equaled in any other; and vis-
itors who have tried Nassau as well as Florida,
are full of testimony in favor of the former.
Then, too, altliough maeh is said of the cor-
diality of the Floridians, and much ia known of
their aUesed anxiety to welcome set-
tlers, applications to prominent residents
there tor information, and who invite
such communications, are constantly
being treated ■with silence ; and again thai;
people who are loudest in their praises of the
place are also anxious to sell the estates which
they have there. In an authentic guide such
as this is, and one that has been prepared in
complete independence of all railroad or land
company influence, we expect to see differences
of this kind cleared away. Nothing is so likeiv
to deter settlers as u feeling of unoercainty
created by discordant assertions. There are
certain general principles whioh may be laid
down as applicable to settlements anywhere,
but beyond, that the eu-igrant wants truthful
and detailed information.
Again, the compiler of this volume claims
that it will be of use to foreign emigrants. To
some extent that may be correct, but we do
not think tUat he has ever had personal ex-
perience among the class which that implies, in
Europe, cr he would have found it necessary to
add a great, deal of information which now is
altogeher withheld. Direot intercourse with
the small farmers and agricultural laborers of
the Old World is the only means where-
by to learn the character of the in-
formation, which tBey reqaire before
roast of them will move. Farmers with a
capital of two or three hundred pounds in
England or Scotland are the people whom wo
want on the waste lands of the South and
West; but such, men are generally noted for
their caution, and they are not to be induced to
throw away their present holdings by simply
being told that there is good and cheap land
three or four thousand miles away, to ba had
almost for the asking. While, therefore, this
Guide is admirable so far as it goes, it does not
CO far enough. To be what it ought to be, the
compiler should go carefully through the agri-
cultural districts of Grent Britain and Ger-
many, and learn what is wanted. If this were
dt ne, and the experience properly and faith-
fully applied, another edition of the work might
be made whioh would be of immense value,
aid an indirect means ot greatly enriching the
agricultural portions of this country.
Comparative statements of the kind wo have
here are of very little use to the foreign emi-
grant. Thus, when he is told that in Virginia
" Winter feeding of cattle is required but for
half the period nocessarr in New-England or
New-York," he learns nothing, because he
knows nothing about either New-York or New-
England. The comparison must be made with
something that he does know, and as the Win-
ters in his own country may be much less se-
vere than they are even m Virginia, he must
be told something else as a set-off aaainst his
disappointment if he is to ba induced to emi-
grate. Indeed, it is very easy to deceive people
about a new country by telling them nothing
but what is strictly and literally true, but by
withholding a part of the truth. Thouaands of
eiaigranta, to their cost, can boar witness to
this, but not till it is too lato ; and we are
better off without emigrants than with people
coming among us who are to send back to
their old homes tales of disappointment and
regret, as many have done. Wo find no fault
with this book except for its omi3.sion9 or in-
completeness ; if it could be extended so as to
meet the requirements we have indicated, its
worth would be unquestionable.

AND AFFIRMED — REASONS FOR LARGE
RBDUCTION9 — THE APPORTIONMENT RE-
PORT-^MEKTINO OF THE BOARD OF
MANAGERS.
The sixth and last day's 'sessions of the Gen-
eral Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Chorch, were held yesterday in the migsion rooms
of the Msthodist Boole Concern, Broad wav and
Eleventh streef., afnd the flxing of the amount of
monev to be appropriated for the year beginning
Nov. 1, 1876, f )r the carryint: on of the foreign and
domestic missionarv work of that denomination, was
completed. Bishop Simpson presided at the morn-
ing session, and the devotional exercises! were con-
ducted by Eev. J. J. Bates, of the New-York Con-
ference.
Rev. Dr. Trimble offered a reiolution instrocting
the Bishops and Secretaries of the society to loin in
an address to the Church setting forth to the mem-
bers generally the reasons which have compelled
the committee to make saoh large rednctions in
the appropriations to the several conferences, set-
ting forth the needs of the society, and nrginz the
churches to renewed exertions in aid ot" the Mis-
sionary Society m its present emergency. Bishop
Foster thonght the address ought to come from
the missionary representatives from each district,
agd Prof. MUey moved an amendment to that effect.
Dr. Reid added a farther amendment that an ad-
dress of that kind be prepared and signed by the
entire committee, including the Bishops and all the
representatives from the several districts and from
the committee.
Dr. Nelson oflfjrod as a snbatitute for the whole
matter an amendment that a committee b« appoint-
ed consisting of the Seoretaries, one Bishop, one
representative from the districts, and one from the
board, to prepare an address, to be signed by the
whole committee, and published in all the denomi-
national papers. The Bu'ostitute was adopted, and
the committee was appointed, consisting of Dr.
Dashiel and Dr. Reid, tbe two Secretarios, Bishop
Bowman, Dr. Clark; as representative of the dis-
tricts, and Dr. Fowler, as the representative of the
Board of Managers.
Bishop Foster called the attention of the commit-
tee to the fact that many of the larger conferences,
from which they had been In the habit of gettine
their largest colleotions, had not yet received any
appropriations, nnd stated that an additional appro-
priation of 525,000 would give each of these confei-
ences tiftv pur cent, of the amount given them last
vear, and leave §4,000 to be distributed among the
moie needy of the other conferences. Or, he said, ■
they could rsise the ?21,000 necessary to do that
by taking off fiv.^ per cent, from the appropriations
already maiie. He moved that the appropriations
bo Increai-ocl (25,000. '

ble length, the result being that Bishop Posror, at
thd eod of a few remarks, withdrew the motion.
Dr. Clark, of the New-England Conference, then
inovert that the commirteo proceed to revie>^ the
list of appropriations already made, and cut them
down tnm four to five per cent., in oraer to maie
some provision for the older conferences.
This question was also discussed at considerable)
length, and finally resulted in a motion by Gen.
Fiske to lay the motion on the table, which was
carried.
Dr. Lasher moved that ?100 be taken from the
German work in California aud be added to the ap-
propriation for Louisiana, with the anderatanding
that the money be given to pay the expense of
transfarring Brother Brown to New-Orleans ; and
also to take $100 from tbe North-western German
Conference, aud $200 f.-om the Sunth-western G-er-
man Ceiifsrence. and add Doth amounts to the Ceo-
tral German Cont'erence. Both of these motions
prevailed.

AN INSANE MAN'S FANCY.
HE IS COGNIZANT OK A COXSPIRACY TO
MUKDEK THE QUEEN — AND IMAGINES
THAT HE IS FOLLOWED BT THE CON-
SPIRATGES.
From the London News.
At Southwark recently a gentlemanly-look-
ing man, named Frederick Augustus Aus in, forty
years of age, was brought before Mr. Partridge,
charged with wandering in Blaokman street, ap-
parently of unsound mind. The prisoner, who
seemed to have a superior education, entered the
conrt on Friday mornine aud tendered a heavy roll
of manuscript to Mr. Drquhart, the usher, wishing
to make a statulorv declaration as to the truth of
tbe contents. On a hasty perusal, it was evident that
the pris:mer was laboring nndtr ainaular delusions,
consequently tbe documents were detained and the
prisoiuir requested to attend the court on Satur-
day. A communication was at tbe same time made
wisJi tbe detoctive department, So:)tland-yard.
and in the afternoon Inspector Sayers aitonded and
produced a large number of documents received
from the pi-isoner last year, settiue forth that an
alli'gnd con^ipiracy existed to murder the Qaeeu
ana Prince of Wales, and tbai he wis followed bbout
by tbe conspirators, who tried to poison him. Mr,
Pralrid;ro, atter glancing at the proposed declara-
tion, ' advised the police to look after him,
and the prisoner was eventually given
into custody. He ' was not placeti in the
dock, but allowed a seat in the 1 n-
spector's box. and Dr. Brown, one of the parish
medical ofBcerg, who was in attendance, examined
him and, considered that he was of unsound mind.
He (Dr. Brown) had read the declaration, which set
forth that there was a conspiracy to murder the
Queen and Prince of Wales, and that ha knew the
parties. He also knew who committed the Coram
street and other mysterious muivlers, which haid
bufiii'.d the Police, and he was being poisoned.
He questioned the prisoner about all these alle-
gationw, aud he was unable to give any p-irlicu-
lars or names. The prisoner here said he
was not in a position to giye the names.
What he wanted was the Poiico to take- the
matter in hand. As to the coaspirasy to murder
the Queen, he petitioned the House of Lords and
the .Home Secretary, and h© believeo tho;^e peti-
tions, were stolen. He assured hifl Worship that
the contents of the declaration were true, and all
he wanted was that tbe anthoritiss should taka
the matter in baud. Mr. Partridge told htm that
the declaration set forth that be Knew who commit-
ted the Coiam street murder. How was it that he
did not iiommuuicate ..itli the Police 1 —
Tne prisoner repli-.d that he did, aud gave
tha names 01 several persona, but cuuid not recol-
lect who thoy ^vere. Ha kuow nothing about tbe
murder, or who did it, but the Police could find
out. As for being of unsound mind, he should like
his friend Dr. Marl^y, of Peckbam, to bo sent for.
He knew ail about him. Just before ihe close of
the court. Dr. Marley attended, and said that it
was twenty years, ago when ne saw the prisoner
first, and he saw nothing more of him until a weeK
or two ago, when ho caliea on witness, and com-
plained ot his landlady and others, who, he said,
were following him. He was .very much excited,
and witness gave him medicine. He had no doubt
whatever that the prisoner was of unsound mind.
Mr. Partridge asked if he knew anythiug of tbe
prisoner's family or connections. Witness replied
that he did not. He told him that his name was
Underdown, and when he asked who was to pay for
the medicine he had Bupplied him. with, b« said,
"Oh, I'll write to my brotbor." The prisoner here
said that he would communicate with hi.s family if
his Worship wuuld let him go, but he declined to
give any information regarding his antecedents any
more than that he had been in India. Air. Partridge
had no doubt as to his insanity, and ordered him to
bo removed to a lunatic asylum by the parish offi-
cers.

SLOAN£ RETTTUNS TO SlS:NDVSKT.
The Sandusky (Ohio) Register of the 14th
inst. says: "The«yent of yesterday was the re-
turn of Rush R. Sloane to this city, after an ab-
sence of almost three years. Thi« action on the
part of this noted character was not euiiroly un-
expected, as it had been known for some time
that he was hanging on the boarders of his native
heath, aud was determined to come back
to this city. He came here from Elyria,
accompanied by his son and Judge
ISurke, of Cleveland, who is luterented in
Sljane's behalf. The party stopped at the West
House, where during the day Sioane held a i-ecep-
tion. It is estimated on eoad authority than not
less than three huudroU ot our people called on
Sloane, and his rooms were crowded during the en-
tire time of his stay. "^He proceeded to the Court-
house in the mornigg and entered into recognizance
in the sum of 5300 each on five of the twenty-four
indictments against him. The indictments belected
.were rwo charsing him with emb. zzlomont and
three charging him with forgery. It is not known
whether he will be tried or not at the present term
of the Common Pieas Court. Tbe State is ready to
go to trial wi:b tbo cases, but the probability is
that Sloane will get a continuance until the next
term in order to gi^e him time to arrange his de-
fense."

—DISCUSSION ON THE SUBJECT.
The Board of Estimate and Apportionment
met in the Mayor's office yesterday forenoon at 11
o'clock. Tho full hoard was In attendance. Mayor
Wickham presiding. A resolution was adopted
transferring appropriations aggregating $13,000
from the appropiiations for lamps and gas for 1876
to the appropriation for public buildings construc-
tion and repairs for 1876. The sum of #277 was
ordered to be transferred from the appropriatioa
for contingencies of the Mayor's office to the ap-
propriation for the inauguration of the Lafayette
statue. A communication wa» read trom the Do'
partment of Public Works requesting the further
Issue of Croten Water Main stock to the amount
of (80,000 to pay for work now in progress.
The communication was laid over for fntttre consid-
eration. Resolutions were adopted aireoting tho
Controller to issue additional Croton Water stock
to the amount of $30,000 ; aUo, CrotOB "Water Main
stock to the amount of ?40,000. The Controller was
also directed tb issue new bonds to the amonnt of
$5,405 62, to be paid to School District No. 4 of the
Town of West Chester, Wftstchcstor County. The
Controller was farther authorized to issue "Museum
of Art and Natural History bonds" to the amonnt
of $25,000. To the recent request of the Departr
ment of Parks asklngtranefers of different amounts,
aegregatintr $65,667 99, from tho funds appropriated
to the repair J of bridges on Harlem River and Bronx
River, Controller Green submitted a reply, of whioh
the following are the essential points:

low*:

ami Twenty-lourth Wiirds 10,000 00
Maintenance ot parks and placee 51,667 99
Total $65,667 99
Tbe request of the Deoartmcnt of Public Parks,
maue thrt-.e months before the year is elosoc", lor a
sweeping transfer of nearly the entire appropilations
lor spocitic pur loses of the present year, which, it is
assumed by chat denartmfnt, will rem.iin unexpended
at the end of this year, to o.Iier objeets of the present
year, for which sufflcient appropriations, had thoy been
properly husbsuded, have already been made, is
strongly suggestive of bad faith, and is a prop sal
which has no precedent, an4 is not conaistenl with a
sound puolic policy or justifiable by any existing cir-
cumstances that hiive yet been mRde apparent.
M * * * * W *-
EEASONS FOR KOT MAKDfG THE TEANSFEES.
Generall.v speaking, transfers of balances of the
current year should never be made, except to meet some
urgent nece?8ity which the Board of Apportionment
auproves, and wliich could not have been cleaily fore-
seen ; or to provide for lawful claims which cannot
otherwise hep?<iaj aud the transfers should only he
made ftom appropnaiions tho original purpoees of
whicli have been accomplished. Let us see f)r ti mo-
ment the action ot the P^k Department respeetlnr;
the appropriations and baUtnees which they wish
transterrotl. That Department asked lor $59,.?00 to
keep the bridges over the Har.em River in repair.
They were allowed $ to. 000. Up to Nov. 1, 1876. they
have expended !P12,i;04: 29. This monfey was either
reouired or it was not. if it was required to keep the
bridges in repair, to meet the public necessities,
then it should li!)V6 been so u -e^. If it was not, then
the call for it was a wron2 upon the lax-pa.yers, a.Ml
on imo.isiti.jn upon the Board of Apportionment. The
Park Oeuartmrtut iisked lor $29,000 to rnaintrfin the
bridges over the Bronx River in 1876. They weie al-
lo'ived $15,0011. Up to the lir t of this mjnta they
have expended, of this amount, only $i3 50. This
money was either wanted, or it was not. If it was
not, it should not have i>eea cailen tor; Ifitwas, it
should have been used for the purpose for which it
was supplied. Hatl considerations of ecom my dic-
tated tho saving of these bri-lge nioaeys, or it it vtas
found, after being cj,lled for, that they were not
required, this would afford some justification lor thi it
not biiug used. But this cannot he cluimeo, for neither
of these prooositious is true. In tbe c.ise of two ot the
appropriations for 187b from whioh the Park Depart-
ment requests tvansfers to he made, to wir, the briige
appropriailon8, it cannot be piolended that tbe ap-
piopiiati'ins to these objeets and purposes for 1876
ure in excess of the amount; requirei. Indeed, it is
very clear that they a;e not ia excess, otcaUHe the
Park Department asks for next year »iill larger sams
for the very s^.me purposes.
Tlie Board of Appirlloament fixed the •vmouDt to be
expended by the F.'irli; Deonrtment in lalU 10: salaries
at ;i^55,000, a sum more than adequate ; aud within
this sum the salarii-s should have been, and mi^ht
easily have been kept ; but fri.m the time this board
llxod this limit upon salaries, that department has
proportionaily eiceeiled the amount Jippropriated for
salaries aud has uiminisbed the mainteuanci' account
tor wages and laborers by attempting t)caargo to it
salaries of certain employes that should be paid from
tbe salary account, thus creatine a deficiency in the
wages actouiit, whicii they now wish supplied. The
lubort rs' money oas been sought to bo expended
by the Park Department to pay salaries. Immedi.tiel.v
after the limit placed by this Board on the salaries of
the Park Department, nine of tbe empioyea of tuat
department, v/ho had up to that time been on the sal-
iiry-ioll, were changed to the accouiit for payins la-
borers' wag"S, without any app:>reut change in their
unties, aud, in one Instance, with increased pay. This
attempt to divert moneys from one aoiiropriaiion lor
ihebeueiitor another was discovered by th" l-iuance
DepaitmenI, notwithat noing continued opposition in-
terposed by the Park Depart mcot to getting at tne
ti-ue account of its operaiious. It was, as 1 think, a
clear attempc to evade the ilimt placed by this board
on the amount to be expended ou salaries.
* * * * * * *
It might be well before determmine finally as to
■what shall be done "wlih the appar,.nt balaaces oltlie
I'o ice moneys, to examine what amonnt is neeess-ary
to project tne pubiii; property for tbe balance of thi.-
year. aud it any provioiou Is made by this board for the
purposes, to ai'-eoaipauj' it wi;h oomUtiuns that shall
insure its proper application. 1 would al o make cou-
ditijnsthat would compel th • rendition of the ac-
couute lu thi3 department as frequently as required by
the finance Department."
GEIIhERAL DISCUSSION OF THE SUBJECT.
After the Controller bad fiuisbod readini: his re-
purt, Mayor Wickham said that he wouid like to
ask [he Coutroiler k question : If it was true that
the Department of! Parks bad money enough, if it
had been properly'usttd, to do all necessary work,
ousrht the tact that the department had'squanderea
its funds to picvent the iioaid of Apporiioniiient
from proiecling the pubhc property? Was it not
the duty of tho boird to see that tho parks do not
R-aifer by reason of any malaaimnistratiou of the
Dopartment of i arks, and was it not tha ilutv of the
board to put tiie stieeis ia the Twenty-third aud
TwentT-f jurth Wards in a decent condition lor
Winter f
Mr. Green replied that ho agreed with the Mayor
in bis opinion that tbe Board ought not to let tbe
])ublic propertj' go to ruia, but he thonirht that De-
fore any lurtber appropriations were made to tbe
Department of Parks, information sboull be bad as
to how they bail douo their work this \ear, and as
to what dispobitiou they bad made of their funds.
Tho board, of cours?, had uo power to exercise
control over the uietUods of the Department of
Parks, but it had power to withhold money from
that dop.vrtmeut.
The Mayor then turned to Ccmraissioner Steb-
hina, v/ho was ilie only reDresehtativo of tbo De-
partment of Parks present, and asked hiiu what
amount he thousrbt would be necessary to maiu-
tain Central Park in good condition for tho re-
maiuuer of tbe year,
Mr. Stebbins replied that the question was rather
ditiicult to answer. He tbouj;nt that, perhaps,
$10,000 or Sl-2,un0 would suUice for tho siiUplo
maintenance 01 the Park for the loniaining foily
davs of the year. That would iiuit tbo force to
thirty or forty men. and would be insaiiicieut tor
the acoomplishmeiit of the customary F. II work,
such ai prepaniit: fjr tbe skating iu the Winter.
Mayor Wickiiam — The Controller desires me
to ask, if in your juugitent (he Mppropriat^ous
made to the Departiueut of Parks were sufiicieut
to carry it ihr.iujiii the year if the funds had been
jadiciousl.y hanuiol.
Mr. Siebbius — If tbe expenses of the department
had been reducetl corresDondiugly with the appro-
pii.uious made, as 1 endeavored to have Ibem, 1
think we could easily have gone through tho year.
After some turn er diseusstoc, Mayor Wickham of-
fcreil a resolution to tent tne sense ot thcBaard, that
¥10,000, be ajipropriated from tho Police luua 10 be
used escUi.s.vely lor tbe care and preservation of
ibe public prtiks, aud §5,000, for the inaiuieuance of
the roads, in tbo Twenty-third and Tweuiy-iorth
Wards. TTpou liis refsnimendalion the Hoard ad-
journed until 11 o'clock Thursday, at which time
tbe lesolutiou w.ill be diacussud.
proTisiom of the Swuiary Code, ud to reque»»
them to instraet the conductors to see the law •»-
forced.
Dr. Day also called tho attention of the board to
tbe approach of stermy weather, with Its attendant
fogs on the waters surrounding the City, *nd sng-
gested that an inspection of all tha ferry-boats be^
made for the purpose of ascertaining whcthetr they
areseverally supplied with apparains for savine
lite Irom drowning, and whetBer tbe apparatus is
In such position as to be available in case of col-
lision or accident from any cause. The board di-
rected the inspection tp be made.
The following report on the mortality tot tbe
last week was presented:
" During the week ending Saturday, ITot. 18
thnrQWfre4I5 deaths reported in this City, being
an increase ot 2, compared with the nnmber report-
ed the pNcediug week, and 36 less than the nnm-
ber reported f jr tbe Corresponding week of 1875.
The actual mortality for the week enuing Nov. 11
was 415, which is 60.8 below the average number of
death* of the corresponding week of the past fire
years and represents an aunoal death-rate of 20.22
per 1,000 persons living, the population esti-
mated at 1,067,256. There- was a decrease of
3 deaths from zymotic" diseasea, 5 from
constitntianal, 3 from devclopmeutal, 9 from vio-
lence, and an increase of 22 from local diseases.
The deaths from membranous croun decreased 2;
whtfcping oongh, 3; typhoid fever, 6; puerperal
diseases, 4; diarrheal diseases. 6; cancer. 8; pneu-
monia, 1; Bright's diaease, 4, while the deaths from
scarlatina -increased 18; dyphtberia, 2; phthisis
pulmonalis, 4; bronchitis, 4; diseases of the heart,
7, and nervous diseases, 15. No deaths were re-
ported from small-pox aad.typhoid fever.
PARK DEPAhTMENT CORRUPTION.
THE COMPLAINTS OP DISCHARGBD LABOBERS
— RECKLESS KXTftAVAGAlJci! OF COM-
MISSIONER MARTIN AND HIS SATRAPS —
POOR lABORKBS DISCHARGED AND TAM-
MANY POLITICIANS KBIT IN OFFICK.
A large number of laboring men, who have
been removed from employment by Commissioner
Martin, under tho pretext that tbe Board of Appor-
tionment had not given him sufficient funds where-
with to carry on tho work in the park*, called at
the Mayor's office yesterday to ascertain whether
something could be done for their relief. They say
that in reducing the f jrco Mr. Martin has discrim-
inated very unjustly against the laborers, who are
without political inflnence, and in favor of all the
foremen, clerks, and Superintendents, not one
of whom has been discharged, although
under the existing state of alFairs there
is absolutely nothing left for them to do.
In no case was a whole squad of men discharged in
any of tbe parks, two or three being left in order to
fnrnisha pretext for retaining tne foreman. In
Tompkius Square, where so many laborers have
been discharged that there is no longer work
for the teams owned and kept by the
Department of Paries, some .five or tii
teams belonging to a contractor named S.
Kelly, who was what is t«rmed a ''strong
null " with Mr. CallaiChan, of the Department 01
Streets and Lamps, are retaiiled, while the services
of all carts and horses owned by simple laborers are
dispensed with " because there is no money Co pay
tor them." These laborers claim that from
first to last the management of the
P.irk under Messrs. Martin and O'Donohae
has been reckless, unscrupulous, and de-
moralizing. Many of the foremen and some
of tbe clerks are notorionsly incompetent, and have
been kepi on iu face of very "serious charges, not
one of which, however, the Commissioners would
deign ro inve«tii>ate or consider. Julias Munkivi z
is the General Superintendent, at a salary of |5,0OU
per annum ; a Deputy Snpenntencient does his work ;
a horse and carriage are kept in tne park stable at
the City's expense, and a, man ia employee
to care f jr the horse and ' to drive the
great Superintendent to and from his
house in Thirtieth street. The deputy in this case
is Mr. Charles C. Trembly. His salary is fixed at
i6 per diem, but ais duties are of such a trivial na-
ture that he has little Or nothiag to do, and is there-
fore known throughout the department as the
'■Deputy in Charge of tne OfiSc* Furniture."
Mr. Martin has not dispensed wita the
services of Mr. Munkevilz or Mr. Trembly.
Daniel Cnmmoy, a former toremon on the Boule-
vard improvement, from whioh pogiiiou h» wa«
removed for tjross incompetency, was appointed by
Mr. Martin th* loreman in chnrge cY the City Hall
ana Battery Parks, and Mr. Crimmey eiill holds
his position. A man named Croft, is tho general
foreman at Ceuiral Park. A lew montos ago
he assaulted an olDcer in Fifty-ninid street, was ar-
rested, imprisonea live days, and finea $50, but at
the expiration of his five uays' imprisonment; he re-
turned to his post as foreman, and still holds that
position, alihouub, owing to the reduction of the
force, be now haS but one man, a mule,
and a broken wheelbarrow to boss. At
the time of the St Stephen's Church
disaster Croft was in the employ of the Deparimeut
of Public Buildings as an Inspector, and was re-
moved for incompetency. This charge seems to
have been the ouly recommendation neoessaiy to
secure his appointment to the place he now holds
uuder Mr. Martin. At present he has a horse and
buggy aud a man to attend them, for all of which
tbe City pays. Still, there is no money with which
to nav tbe la; orors, who must stand idle.
These are .some of the complaints made by the dis-
charged workmen. They claim that in making these
removals the oldest aud best hands have been drop oed,
while the f.;w who are 'retaiaed have in every case
strong political backers ; nor can they see how it is
that there 6h;iuld be money to pay SuperiniendeuLS,
clerks, and fjremen, but none for laborers, and they
are equally at a loss to understand way .the City
shoula furnish horses and carriages f.ir a lot of fire-
men tp ride around with, aud should hire and feed
a number of team for which ther*^ is no work, sim-
ply because they chance to belong 10 Tammany
poliAciaus. These lal*ersrs claim that the Uepart-
meut of Parks should be overhauled and thoroughly
investigated, btinsr assured that the public will then
find out that it is not so much the Board of Appor-
tionment as Mr. Martiu h^m-Heif who is to blame f jr
the sbamolul couuiiiju of affairs.

SANITARY CO-NDiriON OF THE HORSir, -CAKS

.VOIITALITY STATISTICS.
At tho meeting of the Boaril of Health yos-
terdav, tbe loUo.viug coiumutiioatiou was presented
by the Siuitary Supsrinteudent, Dr. Day :
"My iittfiitii'i: has ncortlv been caliert anew to
to tbi)"iuiperlect enf Tceinnnr, by the City car con-
ductor.", ol bociioii 1117 (f the >S.u)Uary code, wliicli

any [lasat-ugcr raiiroa-l car, e-;c pt ou tbo fnnit plat-

eases will m>t. if course, coniiniiB during the months
ot W'inier, when iho populuiiou will bo more in-
diicrs au.i c.iuit;igion inteiisitied thereby. .Siiiail-
pox, scarlftiua, measles, and dipbihen:i may easily
be Ciiuveyed and communicated by soiled linen ou
its way u> the laundry, aud it vrouid seem to be no
hardship to compel its being placed ou that jxiriioii
of the car where it will do the least burr. I re:;peoi-
fuliy recummoud that the board take treirh measures
to secure the euforcement of (he wise sanitary
meaiuro alluded t<>."
A resolution was adopted directing the Secretary
of the board to call the attention of the Suparin-
tendents of the various Citv railroad lines to the
AROADIA VNL>ER THE &ANyON'S MOUTB.
The correspondent of the London News
writes: " Immediately under the cannon of the re-
doubt, ou the side of the £amp next to the Morava,
there lies the Straggling hamlet .of Delijrad, a col-
lection rather ot farm-houses aud peasants' houses
than a village in oar sense of tWe word. For the
last six months the camp of Ddligrad has contained
an army varying from 10,OOD to SO.OuO men, tho mass
being Servians, but there being among theih
Kussians, Anstriana, ^ Montenegrins, and Ital-
iaus. In tbe village of Deligrad, close
to this acenmulation of idle soldiers, the civilian
iubftbitnnts remain unmolested in any way, and
pursue their ordinary avocations in the most perfect
aud well-founded ooufiUeuce of peacsfaiaess and
safety. The placs ia full of cattle, sheep, and poal-
try; thefts are nnkaown. At night ibe Servian
Mary calls tht- cattle home across the meadowe of the
Morava, and she and her sisters sit with father aud
mother in the gloaniiug outside the cottage doors,
spiuBing and cbatiingin contented serenity. The
wumon eiirn mouey by washing tor the army; the men
sell their nbilk and gard.-n produce. The wells whence
the soldiers draw their drinking wattr are in tbe
vilKige, sud villager.s and 8oldi»rs amicably gather
around' tbe same toimtain. I ask any man who
knows English or Prehch Armies what woald be
iho state of morality in a viUa^re situated in this
close pruximity with them. Mere harbor none of
(hose nniortiiuatea >yho are known under
tbe eupbemiscio appsllation of ' camp lol-
lower.s.' Ttie village of Dodgrad is as quiet,
as untp.inted, and ^s simjile m its sleupy
prinntiTeuea.s, as ia any rural village in the whole
ofSeryia. There are some English surgeons here
just now, wailing for the imoendiug fljhtiug, and
an attache of the E'lglish Consuute Gtaeral
iu Belgrade, abst-ut on leave." These geutle-
inep tu-(iay, ia an iuterval of the rain, I
toiik on a peregrination tbrouiih the village of
Deligrad. We euterdd the huU'e.", where tbe
contented families squatted on the door at their
miilday meal, irom tba old man down the human
eamut tfl the baby. Ishnwed them the ci>\v4 lu the
sheds, the sheep pasturing in ibe p;iddocks, tbe
piutltryia tbe farm-yards. We pasbcd tbe modest
Tili.ice girls passing 10 and fro amjug the groups of
Boidicts, (ir waiting fori their tiiin at the well ; wo
ioinea a qu»uo of soldiers waitm,; outaide a farm-
housB to purchse milk; — and voiy dear does tbe
Servian larmer sell his milk — aud my coinnauiona
owned 10 profound siirprise at tiio aspect of
this village, lying under tho cannon's mouth of »
fortified cantp, swarming with soldiers.
STRANGE T]CR2Il.\AliON OF A STAG HXJNT.

" Between 3 and 4 i*. M., yesterday atternoon, con-

From tkt Chicago IViimiM, Nov. la
At No. 294 Weat Msdiaon street is a saloon
*«I)«d th* " Hab," kept by Jack HaUins, idias Ter-
l«Bte, And one Cornelias. It ia said to be a resort of
cttoBterf titeia, and aa anoh oame under tbe ooeni-
ranee of Detective XrrreU, of the TJuited States Se.
mtSerrioa. in order to find oat who made the
I'laoo tbeir bead-qaartera, and to learn vbat they
'fere doinft, it iraa neoeaaary to set a man into tbe
i:aa(t wboae missiun waa nnknown and who could
f^ln their confidence. Tbe man aeleoted to enter
• ha "Hub" and sae" who slid in on the dif-
)areat apokea was L. C. Sweglea, a yoath of
«<XceUaiit ability aa a "roner." Bia main object
/'^vaa to locate one Jaok Hat;hea, a notcrivna ooan-
lerfptter, who has been In the buainess ten or
1 welve years, and had been remarkably snccessf al
in eladina' the otlioert. J^e nanted bleb and low
)ur him, but Gaehea kept ^ell under cover, aud
(jsnld not be reached. Swegles bact never seen him.
«i<iing boMly to the "Hub," be treated the bar-
}.~eeper, and led him to nnderatand that he waa a
"gan," thoazh be never spoke of his own
t;e«d% alladinff, however, to the explsita and
aaartnAsa of his trienda, amonir others, men-
Ihming a ma» named Brown, who, he said, wa^
la experienced bnrslar — poated in all kinds of
ilrstKslaM work. Within ten daya he learned a
treat deal about Hughes, and one day he was
pointed oat to him. Folio wins hiin to the
■•Hub," he hurried to Tyrrell and told
)ilm of bis whereabonta, and the officer,
"▼ho had provided himself with a warrant, went to
tbe aaloon Bad arraated him. Ha had a-hearios be-
fore Commissioner Horn*, and waa held in ^,000
liail for farther examination, the money being de-
jioaited aa collateral. After his release, Huirhes
Iteqnently visited the "Hnb," as did Sweelea ; but
tbeir missions were dissimilar. The former went
to oonsolt with his ftienda— Mallina, Cornelias, and
)^ oobtraotor who is thonght well of in the com-
annity. bnt who is in reality said to be enj^aged in
rJxvalatnis ^oonterfeit money by wholesale.
Ihregles' intention was to make friends
«if theaa men, with a view to their
tiltimate oonTiotion, since they were all known
1« Tyrrell by report as being engaged in
Inflatins the onnency. As Swegles was a straneer,
tbe otberi were nattirally anspieions of him — aU,
tispadally Mullioa, being very cautions. He found
Udii&eaUtoapproach them, bnt his reputation at
length made bim " aolid." It seema that two of
ibem mat one of the Central Station detectives In a
mIooo — a man who, according to his talk, knows
nveOTthing and everybedy.— and, after filling him
p til of beer, tbey asked bim who " this man Swegles
-#aA" " Why," said he, "he ia one of the'biggeat
^re^bieTes in the country." That apparently
!i«tiafled tbem, for afterwards they were disposed
'o b« more communicative, though Swegles ob-
!t«i^M itttte or no information of value.
i About the middle of October Mnllins'and Hushes
liiaked Swegles if he wonld not like to join them and
iaake some money. , He said he waa willing, desir-
)bc to draw them out They then told him of a
i^alan tbey had .gotten up to go to Eentiaha, W is.,
';iad dig up the body of a man named Sine, whosa
family waa very wealthy, and would donbtless give
u larcasom for the restoration of the remains. The
jody could be brought over tbe State line, they
«aid, SBd " planted," and negotiationa opened tor
bheretnm of the oorpae, either by one of them or a
CilNid. Swaglea looked upon this as a teat of his
i;ldelity, believing there was something behind it, and
'Ue said he wanted li-neto •onaider. A^cerpromiain?
S* look up the penalty attached to robbing a grave
jlBiWiseonfln, and to give them a dseisive answer
hu a dav or two, he left theai. At the first onpor-
Tvnity he con8alt«d Mr. C. W. Beane, an attorney,
~«bo is a friend of his, and who first brongbt him to
tJie notice of the Secret Service and obtained a
;ltaatian for bim. He told Swegles that the pnn-
ishmant was two years' imprisonment, and advised
piim to diseoursKe the robbery, and say that it was
boo great a risk for an nnoertainty. Mr. Daane re-
tf'Sarded tbe proposition simply as a "feeler." Ao -
ioardiacly when S^wedas saw MoUins and Haghes
jriM next day, he told them it wouldn't pay, and
am did not think bo would go into it. Now,
'S thia was a test, Mnllins and Haghes
would have heard within two or three daya
'Whether Swegles had revealed the plan, and if he
'aad done so to any one if ho coald not be tmsted
with the secret. Having no reason, therefore, to
loabt him, at tbe expiration of a week tbey onfoid-
ed to him a scheme to rob the tomb of Abraham
Ureoln, at Springfield, tbey expecting to secure not
raly the pardon of Ben Sovd fi-om Joiiet, bnt seme
mO.OOO or $300,000 from tbe Scale or iTaderal Qrov
-sranont f.jr the return of the remitiuB. At thia
aeoting there were present llullius, Haghes, Swe-
i^es, and tbe contractor. The latter, it ittsuppoasd,
•>OBCoet«d the plan, bat both Haghea and jUnllins
daim the idea aa the fruit of i beir brains. Mallios
4 perhaps capable of the coneeptlon; Haghps is
lou The contractor is the sharpest one of the
3Tewd.
Tbe simple f^ict (for the details had aot been made
'xnowu) was communicared to Mr. Deane by
SwegjLes, who desired lo kuow if he should take a
Tart In order to doiect the othern. He afiiA it would
ae "a most damuable thiug to allow that tu t;u un,"
tad though bp would be tsKing a good maijy
dances, he wonld join tbem, and give them up to
:be autiiontieg, if Mr. Deane advised it. He \!ia
.aatoaDdecl ai toe rerel^tliOD, bar, npon tbeassuraacu
it Sweglea that the men were sincere, he tull bim
JO keep in their good gracea until be saw him again.
The same day Mr. Deane went over to the Criminal
Jourt u>aee Xisonard Sweit, ibe Sollivan case then
Ming on tnaL Mr. Swetc was tbunoerstruck, and
jonli not btlieve it, and seemed disposed to
regard the story of Swegles aa fiction. However,
le said he would aeo Kobert Liucoln about it.
Oeaneaod Tyrreil the next moroiag diacussed the
Jnatter, and the latter teiegrapbed to Wasbingtoa
'or instructions, Colef Brooks did not credit tbe
Uatemeat, and sent none. Mr. Sweit and Mr. Liii-
xiin bada confereuce, and tbe result af it was tbac
)wegtes*wss told to "go ahead." Mr. Sweit tele-
mpbed to Col Stnart. of SpringileUI, lo nlace a
toiurd at tbe monument. Halt' a d< zt^u meetings
were held before tbe details of the plan were agreed
'ipon. th« contractor going lo tb^ cemetery tu look
ibe ground over, and every suggestion being thor-
>ugbly discussed before acceptance. Hi* name U
fnppresaed besatue the evidenoa against him is not
M>Delusive.
.Tfie wbole thing Is given in detail In the aa1>-
loiood interview, which a Xribunt reporter bad
with Swegels :
BWEOELS' 8TOET.
,f*Tbeee fc-llows bad been without any counterfeit
ttpiial fur sume lime, and it was necessary m order
'>o pruonre ' stufi^' to get some of the coney men out
iltbe iieuitentiary. Tbe man tbev bad been deal-
ag witb waa Ben Boyd. Thsv knew that mouey
Jould not gee him out. It had all been tallied up,
ind money oould liave been itotten, but it waa im-
p<>asibl..'. They aie connected witb a gang of coao-
-.ertelters in 3r. Louis. Being men of laleac — all of
:b«m are m lact— some oue prupused this scheme tj
»b Linwjln's grave. W heftier be got tbe idea fiom
Jistorv, _ur it was original with bim8^1f, I dou't
it 1 dou't kuow. Hughes
don't think he is
waa the
of tbom
and myself. Well, tbe contractor went off. I did
no*" know for some little time whom he had gon%
after, but MnlliDS told me it was Johnny Lamb. I
knew it would be a dead give-away for me if Lamb
came In, becaaso he believed I had given soma fel-
lows up, though I had notbing to do with their ar
rest. They did not know moch about Lamb;
but he had been in trouble, and they thouglit he
had a good repntittion as a cracksman. I told
them he wouldn't do — that he wasn't eiactlv
the man. As luck would have it. the contractor
couldn't find Lamb. They were dete'-mined to
have anotber man; so I said, 'If .von will have bim,
yon want a man who nnderstands stone-work, aud
■whv don't yon get Billy Bro-wii, of Waakegan !
Tbey had heard mo talk about him. I gut. myself
up in their miods, not bv praising inyseif but my
friends— French V the burglar, Bill Wray, and
other*. I had a letter from Frecohr, who is in
Michigan City Penitenfiary. Tbey tlioagbt I was
a first-olasB man, or I would not be known to such
men. Brown had been in town several daj'.*. He
is straight, and I knew he could be truslad. He
can talk crooked; he bad driven a hack and learned
all the slang. When I said 'get him,' they wanted
to see him. Hughes had seen him. The con-
tractor did not want anybody to kuow he was
in it. He made Mallins and Hughes to do all
tbe Talking- lor him. 1 took Huchei down to my
house, and gave him an mtroduotioo to Brown, and
Hugbes took him up to tbe * Hub ' lor tbe purpose
ol allowing him up to Miillins, and tbev became
I Batifcfled that be was all right. -He knew last what
■ to do, 89 1 had given him iustrnctioDS. At first, he
! would not have anything to do with it. but I told nim
I I was workioi under ihe orders of Leonard Swett
and Mr. Deane, and , when I had convinced him of
' the truth of what I had siiiii, he concluded to help
! me out. As I said, MulUns and Haghes were sat-
i isfled, and they led me to understand that tbe job
was to be done toward tbe latter end of November,
I but we talked that over, and oame to the conclusion
I that if we waited so long there would be too. mocb
! ice, and perhaps snow, and th? graund would
I probably be frozen, and digeing would
i involve too much labor; that it must bo done be-
fore, and at a time when there wonld bo the least
suspicion. Our last meeting was held at my house
on Sunday, tbe 5tb inat. Mallins, Hugiies, the con-
tractor, and mrselt were present, aud election night
was fixed npon. That was considered a ele-
gant time to do it. There would certainly be very
lew visitors during tbe day ; the elecrion wonld
Keep everybody in town; even tbe custodian him-
ceir was likely to be there ; the streets of Spring-
ficla would he InU of neoplo, and a wagon going
along the road at night would not be noticed,
since those who a\vr it would think it contained
farmers going home from the polls. They vt ere
arraid the custodian might be at tbe monament
rt niiiht. The contractor went down a weofc ago
for the ourpose of looking into the catacomb
and getting the lay of things ; but he had no nerve,
and didn't find out niuch. They were at a loss as
to what the tomb was made of. He said tbe mouu-
ment was a terribly solid-looking pile, and they
asked, "What must the tomb baV That was the
reason, as 1 said, they wanted a man of talent, and
Brown waa taken ia. The next thing was to get
tbe tools. They wanted his advice about getting
rid of tbe stone slab, and he said a hole could be
drilled in it, and powder put in and fused, and the
whole thing blown to pieces. So we got a can
of powder, a fathom of fuse, a.hammer,jsteel punch-
driliB, a steel aaw, a file, &o. They expected to
get the J2,00l) which had been deposited for
Hughes' bail. Three-fourths of it belongs to him ;
the other ?800 was put up by one of his friends.
The case was to come up Monday, thi 6th mst., and
it did, but was postponed, so tbey did; not get the
money. Brown and I had no money to go down.
They had been out of coney for soma time, and
couldn't raise much money. Brown had told tbem
he could kick the vault open, and they didn't think
at last that it was going to be very hard work; aud
they said as long as they bad the toois. it it was not
vary hard work, if Biown would get a team and
bring it to tbe cemetery that was all be need do. If
tbey could not get along without him they woald
call him up. We were to commence opsratiuns
early m the eveaing. We were to take along half
of a paper, torn diagonally aeroas — tne Catholio
Union and Times, 1 think; it is published ia Lon-
don and Liverpool. It was got at Joe Macfciu's, on
Dearborn street. A fjrtign naper waa seleoied,
because it was said that a certain private detective
oould match any piece which waa found, and
thus claim to have a clue. MuUius had this
piece of paper In his coat-pocket, and it
was to be left in the vault as a_ clue for the de-
tectives. You know when a crime is committed
, the ofiBcers pica up everything laying around, and
j try to associate it with somebody they know. Well,
unless something of this Bind was done, Cornelius,
who; 1 think, was to do the negotiating for the re-
turn of the body, would not have any standing, for
the private deteetivea would ge to the Monument
A.isocLicion with wagon-loads of olaea, and some
of tbem would beat the aasociatiou out of
money if the officers were fools onongh to give
up any. The other half ot the piper was to be
left behind ia Cbicago. aad stowed away in a bust
ot Lincoln at the 'Huo,' and wheu the proper
time came Coriielitis was to show it up a« evidence
that he waa in communication with the parties that
did the job, and could recover the remaius upon the
conditions I hare told you. That would give him
some standing with the Government officials, for no
one elsa soold match the paper fouud ia the vault.
If the tbing came off, they reasoned, no one ceuld
tell who did it; nor could they. There would have
been no clue, the bubijesa was down so finely.
They believed-large rewards would be offered ; that
tbe whole country would be interested ; and it
would b^ecessar.y, ■when the time came to • show
UD,' to present something convincing that they had
authority to deal.
The programme was fer Brown and myself to go
to Canada immeoiately after tbe casket wa.t buried.
We were to remain there and be .supplied wi!h
money to pay our expenses, and the.y were to claim
tbey had heard trom Canada, bad gotten a letter,
aud that the piece of paper came in it, only a small
portion of it, just enouga to show that the edges
connected properly ; for pieces were to be oroduced
from time to time as progress was made in estab-
lishing ttiat tbe parties they were in correspond-
ence wiih were the right ones. One of them, Alal>-
lins, was to return to Chicago, and Hughes was
to come over to Canada to see us, and then go
back and brint; aloug some one authorized to
deal. MuUias, or whoever went, was to take a
well-known crimi ,al lawyer tf Caicago (not
Trude) along, to act In his behalf, and see he
waa treated snuarely. Well, we decided to start
Monday night. It was not my inten.ion to have
Brown go, biiice, it they were arrested aud we were
let go, it would look very strange ; and bcai les, it
wonld be a dead giveaway to tbem, and if 1 visited,
the jail where tbev were tor more iuformaiion,'
thev wonld not trust me. We left on the St. Louis
train in tbe evening — at least three of us did —
Hughes, MuUins, and myseli. Biown was on board
woeu the tiain li:fi;, and ne showed up to them. I
took bim through their car to satisfy them that he
' was all right, and when we got lo the Burliugtou
I crossing he jumped oft Ii was uectsiary for Biuwn
j to get on tbe train, for they luigiit have had
( some one iu the depot, and if tlie 'shadow'
{ had seen him around after the iraitf left he would
have thoaght something was wrong. Tlioy were
I very well pleasod that they nad notten off at last.
! It did look at one time as If I would nut go with
! them ; and I didn't have much time, as it was, to
j get to the depot. We had been ud uniil 2 o'ciock
' tbe night before, fixing up things so as to be ready.
! X had got Brown's overcoat IVoiu him, and when I
j returned to tbe oar where HuKbes and Mullins were
I told thpm he was sleepy, and 1 bad put him into
the sleeping-oar. They were giad of it, as it might
look singular tor four to be together."
THEIK ARHIYAL AT SPRINGFIELD.
"After we got down tho road some distance,
it was proposed that we jump off

uiys he waa, but
smart enough. I belidve it
Joutractor or Mnllius ; either
Joald do it Some one auybow conceived thai if
;bey conid get Lincoln's body a large reward
would be paid for its reiurn, aod Boyu would ba
»0t freo. Thev kuew that the mouuuient cost over
iSUO.UOO and tbey asked ibe qaeution, ' Wuat is itie
i«e of the monument without the coipsel' Tbe i di«poat d of biai fjr the day. Mulliiis made us keen
that we jump off at the cross-
two uiiles fiom Spiiuafield— two get ofl
in town, and two go down to the crossing. We
had tlme-tabies for both the Ilii.iois Central and
the St. Louis lines. That was to oatuh trains at
night along the line in case the thing was hushed.
I told tbem that Brawn was asleep, and, as toe car
he was in wonld lay there on the track till Dr«ak-
last-time, it was no use I'o wake him up at 4 o'olouk
ia tho morning — that I would go around about 7 and
wake him up, and send him out; to get a team. The
plan was, if we couldn't get a team to take one
uelonging to a farmer, for we kuow there would
be lots of them biiohed all over town, bclooging
to men who had come in to see how ttie eleccion
was going on. They agreed to my propo-
sition aboat Brown, and that disposed of
him for several hours. They solemn-
ly believed be waa on tbe truin. We got off aud
went into a restaurant, and bad sonietniug to eat.
And then we tooii a walk around. Hugbes wanted
to hide tbe to* Is. Mullins said^o. They were iu
a bag, and Mulhus carried tbem. He liauded them
to me, and told uie to takeihem into a Ijeer-beur sa-
lion, auosay to the bar-keeper that my irieua wasn't
up, aud ask him to keep the bag until 1 cullt«d for
It. 1 did to. Wo then walked oast the St. (Juarles
Jlotel, and after rtOiBg about half a mile we turuud
t)ack, and MuUiaa and Hughes went to bod. Tbey
wet every tired. I toll them I would go down town
and wake ISrowu. MuUius said : ' You had better
let liim go to one of Lbe towu.s, four or hvu miles out,
aud hire a rig.' 1 gstsoiue breaklast aud walked
around, and about 11 o'clock 1 weut to tho ho-
tel aiain. They wero up. 1 luld tliem that Brown
liad jfoue, and would drive iu about G o'cljek. That
penalty waa lookeu up, aud it -was disQovered to be
t mere fine' and olo year lu the County Jail. Tbe
■xiances of deteotion were very small. Everything
iraa gooe over carefully, and the oonclusioa reached
tbal there were uo chances of deteciiun at ail.
There wero no guards at the mouuuient, and all
jhere wa.i to do waa to go there, shaulder tbe
■casket, and carry it off. It was to be taken
■JO some place wnere nobody could find it, aad
.hey thought, iu due course of time, the asaocia-
iion or the Government or somebody would
>fler a big reward lo gat it back, and then it would
JO tamed up for the money aud a pardon tor Boyd ;
md me settlement if the case against Uaghes was
ilso to be one i)f iDe conditions. Joe Blxon said
iouDteifditers bad vary little nerve— that their
jusiness requires more bead-work than nei-ve.
That it true to some extent. They are very good
Jien to put up joijs, but uot very good at carrying
^hem out. :>o they had to have ssraeboay to go
with them and assist them — somebody who knew
M>methiiig about tools and doing tho work. Tne
mpyosiUon was that they would have to ^o througn
.run, aud tbey believed mat there would be a good
deal of trouble in getting into the stone sarcophaeus.
Xney thought the slabon top was of iinmonse weight
lUid several inches tbick, and did uot know but urill-
■g and blaiting wonld be necessary. Tbey did not
inder«itandverymucbabout that partof the burglar's
JUS ness. Tbey were not sure that I could do that,
ana I could see that thev were uot satisUed. There
.Were only three of us in the scheme at that time —
'ibat is, men who were to take an active pait. The
contractor did not want to do any work ; he was the
oDiddle-mau; bad given considerable time to tbe
glan; and was to derive benefits if successful;
itill he did not want to go to SpringfieLl, siuee it
wa* necussarv, if the thing didn't go tbrongh, for
iim to prove an absolute alibi. We had another
soeung, and it was concluded that there most be a
iiuxMt. nsA. ; Xh« UuM BMa wtjra ilaUlBa. iXi
apart froBi each other. We mut oi^ly now aud theu.
He bUiigestfad that Hughes and I go up to the ceme-
tery ana taie a look at tbe tomb, and bo would
watch out down town. He said be migiit be no-
ticed at the tomb, as his black, mustache looked a
li.tlo crooked, aud he resembl-d a sporting man.
Ilia ubject was to save himsell' from being ideuti-
ho.l. diis idea, as I said, was to send Browu aud
myself to Canada ; and be asked me, 'If we can
get llU.OUO or $15,000 more, ai well as a pardon for
B yd, would you be willing to stay in jail for a year ?
1 would give you a Brussels cainet,' said he. 'and
make tue i<laoe look like a reul theatre, and gire
you three good meals a da.y.' 1 told bim I would.
Jiis intention was to buve us go at once to Canada.
He was co futuisb us mouey, and was to turu us up
to the authorities if tbe reward wotild not be given
withiiut the arrest of tho patties.
"Well, Jluebes and I wont uo and examined the
place, aud when we got back he reported that
there was but a thin marble lia on the sarcophagus,
and he coold very easily smash it. ' Way,' siid
he, "I could pick it open. I could fall agaiust it
aud open it.' When all was expl,»iued tu AIullius
be wanted an ax, saying, 'Wo will break it open.
We iiii^hc as \w:ll have tlie ax,' baid ho, 'because
we may have tii open the iusiJe.' I told him tho
bi'dy was iu a lead casket, with a cedar case out-
side. He bad a bag iu his pocket; it was longer
than a grain-bag; and, iu case the casket was
too heavy fir us, the In ton Hon was to break
it open, double the body up, aud put it ia
tb« bag. Ill that event it coiiid be handled
a good deal easier. When ho learned how
tba body was coffined he looked at a map of
tbe> couuty, aud, seeing a river aud a bridge, bu
said : ' We will tako it up there and dump the lead
oasiket iu'.o the water — dump it on the upper side
of the bridge, so tbiit the sbadow will hide it.'
That was to be done if the water was deep enough,
_'X1«) oaaketi' bo said, 'will go to tna botkou. aa^
DO one will ever think of looking for it there.' In
case the water wasn't deep enough we were to bury
It right under the edge oi the bridge. Tho team
-was to be left standing on the bridge, so that no one
oonld teU by tbe tracks in tbe road (the horse's feet
being all in a lamp together) that it bad been staml-
Ing anywhere. The roads, however, were hard,
and a wagon coold not b^ traced any more tbnn
one eould be on the straets in Chicago. Well,
it got along toward dark, and Hugbes and Wil-
liams went to get supper. They told me I had
better go somewhere else than the hotel. . The.y
asked if I bad any money and I said 'Yes,' I
told them as soon as I gat supper I would go and
see if I could find any tbiog of Brown. I loitered
around, seeing Tyrrell and Washburn at tbe St.
Nicholas Hotel, and telling them what was up —
that we were going out about 8:30 o'clock. I
theu vrent back to Uuliins and Hugoes and told
them that I had found Brown; that be was at a
little farmers' hotel on the other side'of town, and
had a rattling good pair of hay^iorses and a three-
spring wagon ; that he hart to bring over from the
town three old Irisu , women aud two children and
two trunks, and they let him have a better team.
I also said when I got sunoer I wonld
go over and have bim drive down to the St.
Charles. Mullins said tbat wauld never do. " On,
myGxd! don't have bim do that. I thought you
had more sense." I knew he wonld never agree to
it; be Is so cautious aud that is tbe reason I pro-
posed it. He said : " Go to him, and have bim
keep away." Ton see, if Brown had been there and
drove up to the hotel, that fact wonld have been a
clew tor the detectives, and Mullins was extremely
anxious to cover everything so as to bnfflc) tbem.
He told me to tell Brown to drive out about 9:30
o'clock, and not to stop at the gate, bat to go iato
tbe woods ana tie the team, and then come near the
monument and give the whistle, so tbat the.y
would know it was all right. I promised to do so.
He asked me if Brown Knew the road. 1 told him
he did-^tbat we bad walked out some distance, and
got the lay of the land. I then went off and got
some oysters, and, having been away long enough,
I went to the depot and met them. In the mean-
time, Mullins had gone down and Entered the Ger-
mauia House, near the depot, by the back way. and
got a drink. He saw a wood-pile and an ax,
and he took the ax and slipped it infn a plaoe
Where he could get it again easily. When I met
tbem he told me the ax was all ri;ht. Said
he, "How is it!" I said, "All ri-ht." He
(Brown) wanted to come down, but I told him that
wouldn't do, as he must keep quiet. Mullins asked,
' Does he understand perfoctly about going ap with
tbe team V I replied that he did. Then he said,
' Let's get ready aad go.' We went into the Ger-
mani.t House and got a drink, and I got the bag
with the tools, and went out the bacic way. and
passed over the ax and the tools, and we started,
going out the street-car crack. Mullint* would not
ride out. He had seen the people walking out that
way, and thought it much safer."
THE DETECTIVES AT 'WORK.
The narrative is here dropped, iu order to get
"Washburn and others, who had gone to Springflsld,
ou the sceue. About 6:30 o'clock, he (Tyrrell) and
three others went oat to Oak Riige in a back, alight-
ing near the grounds, and entering tuem on f jot,
the vehicle being sent back, in order tbat it might
not be seen in the vicinity. Upon reaching the
monument, they were admitted to Memorial Hall,
by Mr. Power (the custodian) andfthe guard. The
door of the Hall faces south, that of tbe catacomb,
in which the sarcotihagUB lies, fioes north, the dis-
tance between the two doors being aoou t one hundred
and twenty fjet. The night was rather chilly, and it
was deemed advisable to remain in this room, since,
if the officers were scattered around tbe mocumeut,
lying among the bush, the thieves were liable to
step on them, as they would certainly not approach
by the open roadwa.y. As soon as the door was
closed orders were given to "take ofi' your boots
and keep quiec." One man was posted iu tbe laby-
rinth m tbe rear, so ealled besause of the walls run-
ning in diffsrent directions and making namerous
passage-ways, these walls supporting the terrace.
His duty was to listen lor any noise made in the
tomb and to report it to Washburn. The wall sep-
arating him from tbe vault was two or thioe teet
thick, but experiments had demonstrated that
sounds could be vlaiuly heard through it. Immo-'
diately silence waa demanded, since tha slightest
movement produced an echo, which might give an
alarm. When the watch inoioated 8:55 a man came
to tne door of the hall, pnllednp tbeslideof a" bull's
eye," and looked iu, but saw nothing, as the officers
were iu the rear and close to the walls, and the
rays of light did not penetrate that f*r. This
man was Swegels, and his remark, " Tbat is all
right," wai a signal tbat the party had arrived,
presently another man came to the door. This was
Hugbes. He passed bv two or three times, aud
was identified bv Tyrrell, he with the others
having moved near the door wiien the light was
shown. The sentinel ou duty in the labyrinth,
after patiently waiting for what seemed two
hours, most of the' time standiug in oue position,
thought he recognized a grating sound which
continued a lung labile. Then, sfi.er a lapse
of several minutes, came several succes-
sive thuds, three ac a time with intervals be-
tween.] Satisfied that tha burelars were at
work, he walked as silently as possible, and very
slowlyj to tbe door leading into tbe hall, and
Whispered, "They are iu the catacomb." This it
appears was not heard, the officers for whose ears it
was intended being sixty feet uistant. And, besides.
If it had been heard it would not have been heeded,
since Swegels was to come to the hall door and say
when Hughes and MuUius wereat work. Presently
Swegels appearea, the iron door was opened, but
not without some nidee iu unloekiug and swing-
ing it back, and Washburne and thecfflcars
slipped out quietly. They went forward to the
leit in a body, each with a cooked revolver iu his
baud, determined to shoot to kill should resistance
be oifered. Up to this time everything had worked
to a charm, — uot a mistake j^ad been made ; but
fate willed that the despicable scoundrels were not
to be caught in the act. Just as the party were
turning thi* sorner to go south towa:d the cata-
comb tbe hammer on a revolver inadvertently fell
on a cap, and it exploded. The report was very
loud, so siiil were the surroundings, and it was sup-
posed at the time tbat the sanud must have be<;n
heard by the thieves. Though the dittaooe to be
gone over was oaly 120 feet, when the officers
reached the tomb they were gone.
THE STATEMENT OF S'VFEGELS PEOCEEDS.
"We walked oat aad went into the grounds,
lumping over the fence, and when we got to the
bottom of the bill ou which the monument stands,
Mallins got toe buU's-eyo out, and put the pajter
that was around it ujder a bush, so tbat it cotild
not be easily seen. He then got the tools out, and
he aijd Hughes arranged tbem iu their pockets, and
gave me the ax. IshiJ: 'Lot's go on and take a
look around.' Mullins asked if we hadn't better
lizht the buU's-eye. I said we luigbt as well, in
oi-der to IjoU out for Memorial Hall. Muliius
askod if there was a bed iu there that a man would
be liable to sleep on. I sai 1 I guessed not, bat
the old man (I'ower, the custouiau) might he
in there reading or writing. They wore very
careful about that. I Siia to Hu£;ho8 : 'Come
aljng; you and 1 will go around there.' MuUius
said: ' Hurry up, aud give me ihe signal (a wuis-
lle) if there is anything wrong. Go up oasv.' We
went up, and I weut to tue door and snook it a lit-
tle, aud said, ' Tbat i» all right.' Hushes was a lit-
tle ways off, and did not liiok in. 1 ttished the light
iu but saw nothing. I aidn't of course waut to sue
ajyrbing. Tuen woweui. arouKil lo tho catacomb
aud l.Btened. Mnllins oame up and askod, 'How ii
It?' I said, 'It IS all right — chy old mau woulau't
stay in there.' Tuat satisfied him, aud he got a
e.eel saw and went to wort on the p.ttilock of the
iron door. The staiile was very hard, and tbe saw
was very brifila. After catting about a third «f
the way through, tho saw snapped in two or tbree
pieces. It was a splendid saw — would cut a steel
knits-blade, and the.y were angry at tbe mishap.
Tbe jimmy had been tried ou tho lock first,
but the staple was so small, and the jim-
my so large, that it wai uo good. They
then go' a three-cornered flli\ and Huiibes held the
lock wbile MulliLS filod. Tue ytojk tarus at it. It
was very hard aud slow work, and it took fully
half an hour before they got through the staple.
Ojo had to put hi^ arm luside and around the bars
in otuer to get the lock in proper position for fiUug.
Haghes went around the monument two or lliree
times to see if everything was all right. I went
around alio. Finally tbey got the lock off, Mullins
twisting it and jamming it down. 1 stood in an
augle of the wall to watch, as tbey thought, and I
oould see tbem both at work. They opened the
grated door, and lit matches, aud dashed the
buir-s-eve. 1 went in and told them to be oarefal,
as the people at the lodge might see tbe liiUt.
'They looked- at the siaoopbagus, and Mullins
was going to smash the sladi. Ho raised the axe,
and bad It swung back, wiien I said to him, ' Htla
on ; it we can aet the lid off we can put it ou again,
and it won't be known tbat the cotHu is gone.' He
didn't kii3W about that; it might ho ceuieutod. So
he shoved the edge (if the axe undar tbe upper lid,
and it caino off easily ; there was ouly pUster of
Paris to keep i he two lids together. It was pat up
agaiust the wall.
Then they started the under Ijd with the axe and
a ciiisel, aud twisted it around crosswise. I bad the
bull's-eye, and flashed it around, aud Mallin.s said,
' Look out ; be careful.' 1 knew If thoro was a fail-
ure tbey would thiuk that the people in the lodge
had seen tine light and got on t» them.
"Then Mallins took the jimmy aud pried out
tho two coppur ties tbat held the end-iiiece of the
lid in posiii.iu, — the head-piece, — ,aud he pnt that
ou the floor. Tue casket was then palled out
about a fjot, and it wks fouud lo wei^h not over
four hundred or five haudred pounds. Tb^y had
bad doubts about their beiug able to lilt it. It was
not as heavy is they thought. MuUijs then said it
was about timo Nealey was there. He looked at
his wa.cb, aad saw it was a quarter past 9 ; aud
he said to me: "You liad better go and see if you
can find anything of him, aud get him to come
and help carry this. Hop over the gate and
go no the road, and, when you get back
to the foot of tho teri'ace, give the whistle;
otherwise you are li.ible to get hurt, as we
might fire at you, thinking It was somebody
else, as we are uot going to let any one come
monkeying around hero. I started olf. Tbey
were gaiuering up the tools when 1 left. 1 weut to
tho foit of the terrace, and started toward tbe road,
aud theu took a shoot amouz the trees, and looked
around to see that they were not following me.
When I got a bunch of woods between them aud
me, I turued sharp to tbe ri.;ht, and up toward the
road leadiag to Memorial Hall, and when Igoi there
I explained the sicuatloo to Tyrrell, and tbe officers
came out and went around the corner. I staid in
the hall."
B»th Mulliua and Hugbes are cautious men, and,
from the circumstance of their picking up the tools,
it ia interred that they lett immediately after col-
lecting them together, overlooking, however, throe
or four minor imp:ement8. Tueir work wa»
haished so far as the sarc.iphagus was conoerued ;,
all tbat remained to be done was to earry away the
casket ; aud to stay in the catacomb involved
a chance of arrest if tbe light bad
been noticed. Therefore they coucludeu to
go oS a little distance to wait for Morris
and Nealey to return. The monument is
. aotcoanaed by trees, lariu and smalL And to rea«ta
the shelt<>r afforded bv tbem wonld uot require a
quarter of a minute. The deteotives finding no one
lu the vault at once scattered, and went in the ai-
reotien the thieves had probably gone, while dodg-
ing behind trees two of them exchanged shots, eacb
mistaking the other for a fugitive. Tne bullets
whistled close to both, and It was miraculous that
they escaped injury.
In the raoroing tbe bull's eye and a piece of
string were found under a large tree, shown
on the diagram. The grass beneath was flat-
tened down as it some one had been -lying ou it,
and it was in this plnce that Hugbes and Mul-
lins were resting when the offlcars came out of
Memorial Hall. The tree could he reached
from the vanlt in three or four minutes. Tho
shooting evidently frightened tbem oft', for a
street-car driver, when about leaving the park,
adjacent to the cemetery where the cars stop,
saw two men mnuing, and heard one of them
sav : "Shoot, , yoa can't hit me!" Every-
thing -possible was do le to prevent Hughes aud
Mnllins trom thinking tbey were suspected of the
of the crime. Swegles returned to Chicago and
seemed particularly anxious to know what
had become of thera. Before Brown JompBd oft
the train at the Burlington Crossing Monday
night he had been told to keep away from the
" Hnb," and not to be visible to any one. He
obeyed orders strictlv. Thursilav, Swegles sent
a note over to Cornelius to come and
see him, and he did so ; but he said he
didn't know where tha "bovs" were. Washburn
procured a warrant in Springfield for their arrest,
and brought it to Cbicaco Thursilav. All traces of
tho thieves were lost f'r three days; even their
most intimate friends in this \cit.v did not know
where the.y were — at least would not tell,
It appears that the snapping of the can was the
first indication Mullins and Hughes had of any one
being al the monument besi les themselves. They
were at the bottom of the slope, and cou'd see the
officers plainly on account of tbe white back-
ground. They next heard the shootinr, and then
scampered away as rapidl.y and noiselessl.y as pos-
sible. Walking all night,' and the next morning
getting a ride in a farmer's wagon, toward Wednes-
day evsning they reached the house of Hughes'
father, near Lodi, 8iTt.y miles from Spii letield.
Mullins returned to Chicago Friday, Hughes being
left behind. The former had been in the ciiy but a
few hours before Swegles knew of his arrival. Thev
had an interview every day — sometimes two or
three -and Mnllins wanted Hughes sent for, but
Swegles, to throw him off bis guard, would
say, "'What is the use? You don't know but
the officers may be on to us. There is
nothing for Jack to Co here ; and there
IB no need of taking any chancea."
Swegles met Washburn every day, and received in-
structions what to do and say. so as to keep " solid "
witb the parties. Monday last Mullins became
anxious abirat Brown, intimating to Swegles that
he might be apt' to talk, and it was decided by
Washburn to have Brown present himself, and
question the staachness of Hughes. This was
accordingly done. Mullins became satisfied that
Browu was all right, aud as Brown seemed doubt-
ful about Hughos, Swegles suggested that he be
sent tor and kept at the " Hub," so tbat Mullins
could have his eye on him4aDd see that he did not
talk too much.wiiich he was liable to do when drunk.
Tnosfay evening Muliius and Brown went to Lodi
to fetch Hughes to' Chicago. They failed to find
him, he having left just hefjre they reached there,
so they returned to this cit.y Thursda.y night. Both
Hughes and Muliius being' here, the only thing re-
maining to be done was to get them together so as
to arrest them.
It was supposed they would meet of their own
accord, so " shadows " were kept ou eat^h, and
Ehner Washburn notified of every movement they
made. Last evening Hughes called on Mullins at
the " Hub," and Washburn, Detective Tyrrell, De-
tective Denny Simmons, of tlie local Police, and De-
tective McGinn, of Pinkerton's Atrenoy, went to the
place about 9 o'clock. The two former stood one on
each side of the door, and the two latter went in-
side. Mnllins was behind tho bar and Hughes sit-
ting in a chair. Simmons called for a glass of ale,
and aa Mullins went to the barrel to get it, McGinn
grabbed him. At tbe same moment Simmons cap-
tured Hugbes. Neither had anything to say, be-
ing very discreet men. They were taken to the
Central Station and looked up.
FANATICISM IN WALES.
A WELSH LA«D-0WNKR'S INTOLERANCa; TO A
BODY OP UNITAKIANS.
From the Liverpool Post.
A youtbful Welsh land-owner, named John
Daviea Lloyd, has jost been guilty of an act of high-
handed intolerance, whish must be put down for
want of better excuses to his "lack of years," and
to a zeal as yet wholly untempered b.y discretion.
There are on his estate in Cardiganshire, a chapel
and burial-ground belonging to a body of Unitari-
ans. The plaoe is held under a lease of ninety-nlns
years, three of which are uuexplred. Ou Saturday
a notice was served up )n the minister by Mr.
Lloyd's agent, requiring immediate possession, and
the congregation thus ha8til.y and harshly
expelled were obliged on the following day
to hold their^er^ioe on the high road. If the young
squire; in an exuberance of boyish orthodoxy, be-
lieved that he had it in his power by one single ar-
bitrary act to crush down a small body of nou-con-
formist worshipers, that nleasing conceit must by
this time have been well taken out of him The news
of his officious intolerance spread very rapidly, and
theonly immediateofl'ectofit was that on the Sunday
atternoon, instead ot speaking to a congregation of
perhaps 300 inside the chapel, the evicted minister
found himself called upon to address a
sympathizing crowd of 3,000 outside it.
If it is thoutht worth while, however, to
discover the motives which prompted the
young bigot, they will probably be found to have
more to do with bis political prejudices than bis
plons zeal. The notice assigned two grounds tor
the objection— tho first, a purely technical one,
which might have been taken .years ago ; and the
second, that there had been a breach of covenant in
the use ot the chapel tor another purpose than the
worshiD of God. Ihe preseut minister of the
chapol is a pronouuced Liberal ; tbe lessor and
landlord is a Tory. Heading through the Unas, the
last clause of the'notice may be found to mean that
the congregation were wicked enough to hold
a politico-religious meeting in the chapel—
possibly for the purpose of maliciously em-
barrassing a Tory Government by express-
ing indignation about atrocities which
tbey ought, in the interest of England, to have
winked at ; perhaps, tor the still more ontrageoas
oliJBctof discussing the relations of Chnrch and
State ; but at tae very worst, for tho deliv ranee ol
opiniiins en suiaiecls which the.y, as Christians and
patriots, were bound to feel interested in. The
holding of such a meeting may or may not have
been a breach of tbe covenant. It is quite pessible
that Mr. Lloyd has only acted uo to the standard of
legal rights; but older beads than bis will t«ll
him that there are a good many things beyond tho
reach of ttae law which a mau cannot do with im-
punity, and one of these is to use his pssition and
opportunities as a landlord for toe petty pevseou-
tion of tbose who happen to differ from him on mat-
ters which even luli-growu and enlightened men
can only decide for themselves, and not for
others. The congregation which Mr. Lloyd has dis-
comfited ean data bick its origin to the Common-
wealth. The love for whatever is venerable, which
is said to be the only beautiful thing about a Tory's
creed, should have detarred an arnrnt Conservative
from harming a body that may claim tho respecta-
bility awtiquity confers. Ou second thoughts, ho^--
ever, it seems probable that this very consideration
told against it. Tbe little eause at Llwynrhydowen
sprang iato existence during the time of Oliver
Cromwell, and Air. Lloyd may have felt that ho had
a'flne opportunity ot aveoiring through it tbe death
of Charles I. At all events the sight of a distressed
body of worshipers holding a service iu the opi'n
air because fanatic intolerance bad driven them
from the shelter of a chapel, without a moment's
warning, is one which strongly reminds us of the
good old nays of the Stuarts.

UNITED STAGES SUPREME COURT.
Washington, Nov. 20. — The following case
was argued to-day:
No. 104.— United Utales vs. Annie Fox, et aZ«.— Er-
ror to the New-York Court of appeals. — The ques-
tion in this case is on the validity of a bequest to
the United States, made by Charles Fox, of the
City of Now-Xork, who by his will dated July 16.
1884, devised all the residue of his property, after
the navment of his debts, " t(> the (Jovcrnmeiit of
the United States at Washington, District of Col-
umbia, for the purpose of assisting to discharge
the debt contracted oy the war for the subjugation
of the rebellious Confederate States." The de-
vise included lands eituato in the State of
New-York. The Court of Appeals ot the
State affirmed a aecroe sustaining tbe bequest as to
the personal estate, bnt denying tho capaoit.y of the
United States to take the real estate under the will.
'The Government maintains that the right to
acquire property, and hence to take under this
wiU, is one ot the prerogative powers of tho Govern-
ment of tbe United Sta.es under the Constitution,
as necessarily inherent in iis sovereign character
and essential lo the propet exercise of its sovereign
fuuotioos, and tbat this power extends to real
property as well as 'to personal, and to taking by
devise as well as by ordinary conveyance. Tnere
can be no distinction, it is s.iid, betweeu devises and
oouve.yauces, nor can the laws of a State operate to
defeat such devises as to property withiu its
borders. E. B. Smith for Government. James
Elynu for defendant.
No. 11.— (Otigihal) E« parte — John Henderson,
petitiooer, and No. 12 (Original) Ex parte— Otto

these causss, was continued by Mr. D. C. Labatt in
support tnereof, and by Mr. Solicitor General Phil-
lips in opposition thereto, and concluded by Mr. D.
C. Labatt.

ONE OF JOHN L. BROWN'S 0ONTRAOT8.
A contract was awarded to the late John L.
Brown for regulating and erading Pirst avenue,
from JSfinety-eecond to One Hundred and Ninth
Street, the award being made in July, 1871. This
contract was decided to be a valid one by the
"Sutherland Commission," composed of ex-Judge
Sutherland, Judge Hooper C. Van Vorst, and David
B. Jaques, which sat in 1872 to pass upon all con-
tractors' claims which should be presented to
it. Mr. Brown brought suit to recover
ninety per cent.^ due him on tbe .contract, and
after his death, Mr. W. H. Seaver, as special Ad-
ministrator of Mr. Brown's estate, received judg-
ment agaiust tha City for S36,683 90, which was tho
full am:iunt claimed. Mr. Charles G. Waterbury,
wno had been surety for Mr. BroWn on the contract
— under which there remained 300,000 yards of Ail-
ing still to be done, besLles some curbing and gut-
tering— has brouifbt suit against the City, alleci'ug
tbat without au oSji being made to bim to take
iBrown's plape on the coatraet, the City proposes to
go ou and finish the work and hold liim resoonsible.
when he was perfectly willing to ftddll the
contract, althou.h the alleged failure or breach
was caused by the City's own default. The suit is
in the nature of ao applioation for an injunction to
restrain the City fcom taking advantage of Brown's
alleged f.iilnre to fulhll the contract. A motion
made by Waterbury to submit additional papers in
support of his application was denied yesterday by
Judge Donohue.

ST. JOHN'S OOLLEQE ASSESSMENT.
St. John's College, at Pordham, now in the
Twenty-f'oarth Ward of this City, has 103 acres of
land which it claims ia exclusively used for college
purposes. The Commissioners of Taxes and Assess-
ments assessed eighty-five and a half acres ot this
land for the present year at a valution
of $35,000. Ou the 9rh of last April the Presi-
dent of the pollege, F. William Qockeler,
made application to tbe Commissioners to have all
tue land exemxited, on the ground that a porlion of
it was occupied by the college and other buildiozs
connected with it, and that therest of tbe land sur-
rounded these buildings and was necessary tor tbe
uses of the college. Tue Commissioners exempted
all but iwenty-flve and three-fjurths acres, which
they assessed at $20,800. Tue Fresidaut of the
college then petiiion d the Supreme Court for a
writ of certiorari to compel th^ Commissioners to
certify all the procesdings to the court, in order
that argument may be had on an application to tbe
coittrt to reversal the action of the Commissioners
and exempt all the property from taxation. The
writ was giaated yestei-day by Judge Lawrence, m
Supreme Cotirt, Chambers.

charge the order of arrest. Tbis application he

The New- York County Canvass has been
completed, and its results are both curious
and instructive. The Democratic candi-
date for Governor runs 2,000 behind the
vote for TtLDEN, while the Eepublican
candidate for Governor polled 1,000 votes
more than Hayes. The constitutional
amendments have been adopted by a vote
nine-tenths of which was Republican, no
ballots either for or against having been
supplied by the Democrats. Smith ELf
runs 200 ahead of Eobinson, while Dix's
vote falls about 2,000 behind that of Mor-
gan. While Ely's maiority is 54,000 over
Dix, the Tammany Sheriff was elected by a
majority of only 18,500 over the combined
vote of Gbdney and Sauer. Can-there be
any doubt that with any thorough union,
and concerted action between Republicans,
Independents, and Germans, a farther
change of 9,000 votes could very readily
have been made? How easily Tammany
Hall could have been beaten by any such
action is demonstrated in the vote for Cor-
oner as between Crokkr and Stiner.
Cbokeb escaped defeat by the narrow ma-
jority of 2,800 votes, simply because the
Reform element among the Gterman Demo-
crats voted against him. Stinkk polled
more votes than either Hackbtt or PhiiLPS
obtained in 1875, when the Tammany can-
didates were buried under a majority of
27,000. With a Reform County ticket, it is
perfectly clear that, in spite of the un-
doubtedly fraudulent vote of Tammany
Hall, the victory of last year could have
been repeated.
It is Tather less than a week ago since the
^D«mociatic papers pnblished lists of major-
ities from all the parishes in Louisiana.
These were claimed as " mostly official," as
giving the Republicans all they could possi-
l>ly- claim, and as showing a Tilden major-
Sty in the State of 7,773. Nine parishes
3urve been canvassed by the Returning
Board, and about the returns of none
of them was there any protest from
Jeither side. It might have been ex-
apeoted, 'therefore, that if the Tilden
tabk« were worth anything, they would
■h©w a precise agreement with the re-
Bdkta now obtained by a simple aggre-
tK»lion of the figures secured from the Coun-
ftj Canvassers. In these nine parishes the
T'emocrats claimed a total majority of 1,6^,
tend gave the Republicans a majority of
S315, leaving a net majority for Hayks of
1,688. On the actual count, there is a Re-
publican maiority of 2,380, or 700 more than
the Democratic statement claiming to be
•* oflFicial." At least half the parishes of
tiOuisiana are in dispute, but it is perfectly
ebvions that, at this rate, the count in the
3?<an8hes which are not , in dispute will
7>iett7 nearly exhaust the pretended ma-
^flcity for TiXDBN.
Another illustratJoa of what the Demo-
ctsts mean by an '* honest count" was
given yesterday in the motions made before
*h© Supreme Court of South Carolina. The
court was asked, in the first place, to order
-the Board of Canvassers to declare
the election, as it appeared on the
face of the i^etums, of all the Assemblymen
and Congressmen, and to order the Secre-
tary of State to issue the necessary certifi-
cates of 'election. This would be equivalent
to deolsring the election of Hampton, if not
•f the "entire Democratic State ticket, be-
eauae'it would secure a Democratic majority
In the Legislature, which does th6 final can-
vaae^oig of the vote on State officers. A
■eccnd order was asked for re-
straining the boar^ from filing
ea/.-tificates of election of any of
the Presidential Electora or State and
^Bounty officers, and requirlncj them to com-
pare the County Canvassers' figures of these
TOtes with tbs precinct returns, and re-
l>ort to the conxt. The Democrats, in fact,
resolved to attempt a most impudent per-
Tsraion of all legal forma^ as well as of
the rales of common fairness, so that
they might reap the benefits of
fraud and intimidation where these have
been found to have served their purpose,
■while leaving to themselves the chance of
disputing the results in cases where the
shot-gun > and the County Canvassers have
lallen sbort of what- was expected of them.
And, aa » fresh illustration of the folly of
the Board of Canvassers in acknowledging
the juTisdiotipn of the court, these motions
»rs a/.jtually under judicial consideration.

T!ie elaborate exposition of the Electoral
CoUege which we print in our supplement
to-day, supplies a body of information which
IRill be found of great service in connection
fwith the contipversy now going on, and with
the more critical phase of the same contro-
Texsy which will present itself m February.
The constitutional provisions upon the
subjects are, indeed, within everybody's
reach, but the Federal laws are neither
•o accessible nor so well understood.
The meithods of canvassing the
^VotM rux «o widsly in the diflsrtnt StatM.
The personal organ of John Kelt.y gra-
iciously. assures an expectant public that
" it can now be stated with as much cer-
tainty as anything which has not actually
occurred that Mayor Wickham will nomi-
nate Hon. John Kelly for Controller, vice
Andrew H. Green, whose official term ex-
pired yesterday." The great body of tax-
payers will learn with mingled feelings of
gratitude and pleasure that it was *' in sub-
mission to the greatest pressure of political
and personal friends" that this "honora-
ble" gentleman "overcame his objections
and consented to assume the responsibilities
of the management of the Finance Depart-
ment." It might be ungracious at the pres-
ent interesting crisis of Mr. Kelly's
career to ask him to furnish the
public with a list of the political
and personal fnends who pressed him so
hard to assume responsibilities which he
modestly believed were too great for him.
But the people have a real curiosity to
know whether Mr. August Belmont heads
the one column, and Mr. Ricbard Cbokeb
the other — whether Qtor. Tilden has added'
his entreaties to those of G«n. Splnola, and
whether the edit^or of the Sun appears
pleading in unison with Mr. Delano C.
Calvin. During the time that may possi-
bly ^e consumed in discovering if Mr.
Green's term has really expired, Mr.
Kelly may be able to find enough leisiire
to satisfy a natural public curiosity on this
point
On the authority of Signer Castellani,
we are informed , that his valaable collec-
tion of antiques exhibited ac the Centen-
nial Exposition, has not been sold. There
was some lamentation in New- York when it
was reported that Philadelphia and Bostoii
had bought his unique museum, and would
divide it between them. It was thought
that the ceramics and bronzes might form
a small nucleus for one museum, while the
marbles, gems, and gold ornaments would
fall into a separate collection. New-York
was twitted with having lost an admirable
opportunity to secure some of the finest
models of antique art in existence. It is
not too late. These rare objects are yet
purchasable. Just now we are scouring
the town for money enough to buy the
Cesnola treasures. Shall we not next have
the Castellani collection secured for Ameri-
can students in art industry ?
One of the coolest of the newspaper pre-
tenses of the period is the claim of the
Tribwne that it has " from the first steadily
urged" that the claim of the Democrats
to have earned the doubtful States was
"in defiance of known facts." Peo-
ple who read the Irihune on the
morning after election learned that,
for all practical purposes, there were no
doubtful States at all, the election of Mr.
Tilden having been secured by a large ma-
jority of the votes of the Electoral College.
The very much muddled table of its fii-st
edition gave him over two hundred votes,
while a revised and corrected state-
ment left him, with the aid of Wis-
consin, in possession of 185 votes.
The Irilune'e "natural presumption " that
Wisconsin had gone Democratic •was rather
more stupid than the presumption of the
Tilden organs in regard to South Carolina
and Florida. The idea that the Tribune has
"steadily urged" anything of late but
some rather disreputable schemes of stock-
jobbing, will be news to that limited circle
who continue to keep track of its vagaries.
It appears that the policy of intimidation
in the South, so persistently pursued by
the Democratic Party, was adopted with
deliberation and with Northern sympathy.
Up to election day, and possibly since, the
Democratic leaders in the South were mak-
ing heavy demands on New-York for fire-
arms. In another column of The Times to-
day is printed a brief report of some of
these transactions. Trade in arms and
ammunition was carried on by South-
era agents in behalf of " rifle clubs."
The world knows that these organi-
zations were intended to dragoon certain
States into the support of Tildkn. More-
over, it appears that the Democratic Bu-
reau in Liberty street, New-York, was en-
gaged in this shameful business as agent
and go-between. In at least one instance a
Southern Democratic Executive Committee
sent to New-York for cannon ; the Secretary
of the National Democratic Executive Com-
mittee was the purchasing agent, and Gov.
Tildun was ready to sell State ordnance
1 for this purpose. This is the nartv whoaa
agents Were secretly shipping arms in time
of peace, and which now howls lor a "fr^e
expression of the popular wiU" — a will
which has been coerced by the shot-guns
and rifles of organized political banditti.
TILDEyS BEVOLUTIONABY THREAT.
We have had so much vaporing and
threatening on the part of Mr. Tilden's
supporters since his defeat became reasona-
bly certain, that a little more or less may not
make mhch difference. The country is get-
ting used to it. Mr. Tilden had satisfied
himself that no other man ought to be Pres-
ident, and in the fullness of his confidence
he went so far as to supply to friendly news-
papers a list of the men he propo&ed
to call around him as Cabinet ad-
visers. The list may have been a
device to win ^clat fiom the galaxy of names
selected for the purpose ; or it may have
been a product of the ambition which sub-
mitted impatiently to delays in the attain-
ment of its purpose. Other circumstances
showed not only that he had made up his
mind to be President, but that he had com-
pleted arrangements for the immediate en-
joyment of the reflected glory of the office.
Filled with the same ideas, his adherents
have not allowed themselves to admit the
possibility of his failure. For a day or two,
simple bragging saved them; Then they
took to lying. And when even lying failed
them, they began to threaten, and threaten-
ing has gone on, from one degree to an-
other, until sober, thinking people put
down the Tildenites as braggarts who were
ready to swear falsely to save their bets,
and who have hoped by boasting and bully-
ing to mitigate their discomfiture.
All this time, we have been told, Mr. Til-
den was employing his acute legal mind in
mastering the contingencies and possibili-
ties of the crisis. The genius that had
reconstructed railroads and converted
bankruptcy into prosperity by the issue of
watered stock and bonds without number,
applied itself to the problem, How to get
into the Presidency in spite of being out-
voted in the Electoral College. The re-
sults of his efforts soon became apparent in
the columns of Democratic newspapers.
They teemed with mischievous sug-
gestions. Methods wore indicated by
which the partisan majority in the
House of Representatives might bring
the Govemmsnt to a stand-still, if they
were not allowed otherwise to acquire con-
trol. The functions and authority of the
House in relation to the final count were
falsified and exaggerated, that its power for
harm might be made more striking. Its
right to object to the reception of Republican
votes was asserted, and out of it was sup-
posed to spring another right — that of
choosing a President irrespective of the
action of the President of the Senate in the
Electoral College, or of the Senate. As points
of constitutional law the propositions were
untenable. They are not only at variance
with usuage, but they have been explicitly
condemned by leading members of the
Democratic Party as unwarranted and un-
lawful. They were significant chiefly
because they seemed to indicate the drift of
Mr. Tilden's plotting and planning, and
the possibilities of a controversy which,
though ineffectual so far as the main object
is concerned, might lead to deplorable
strife, and in the meantime must operate
prejudicially upon financial and business
interests.
From generalities Mr. Tilden is advan-
cing to particulars. Vague threatening has
lost its terrors. He finds that he cannot buy
the votes of Louisiana or Florida. The
band of adventurers whom he dispatched to
manipulate returns are too closely watched
to have a chance of success. The prize lor
which he has squandered money, and worked
and intrigued unceasingly, slips from his
grasp at the moment he thought it safe.
The trial is too much for him. Since he
can't be the genuine President, he proposes
once more to play the part of President,
which he commenced, but did not
finish, in Gramercy Park on the
night of the 8th of November. His opponent
having obtained the Electoral majority, he
proposes to employ the results of his anxious
study in being made the President of the
minority. Mexico has had its rival Presi-
dents; why not the United States ? Hayes
will be President by the will of the people
and the forms of the law; Tilden intends
to be President by his own authority. The
difference is material. But Tildkn would
rather be Presidential pretender than no Pres-
ident at all, and he is quite willing to have
the country plunged into anarchy in order
that his army of retainers may profit by the
scramble.
In another column we give Mr. Tilden
the benefit of his own explanatipn. We
copy it from the World, which gave it all
possible prominence. The substance of it
IS this : Unless the Senate agree to the de-
mand of the House for the exclusion from
the count of the votes of Louisiana or
Florida, the latter body will refuse to con-
cur. The President ot the Senate will go
on with the count, the Senate approving,
and wiU declare Hayes elected. The
House, acting on its own account, will
elect Tilden. At the proper time,
Hayes will be inaugurated with the usual
formalities, and will take possession of the
White House. Tilden will take the oath
of ofiice in the back parlor of his Gramercy
Park mansion, before a " magistrate compe-
tent und*r Federal law to administer
oaths," and will at once issue his pronun-
ciamento, of which, after two weeks' cogi-
tation, he has already written the
opening paragraph. The country will
then have two Congresses and two
Presidents. "All executive officers, includ-
ing Army and Navy officers" will, according
to Mr. TiLDiiN and the fForld, " decide, each
for himself, which of the two" shall have
his allegiance. There will be no legislation.
The appropriations will, in dua course, run
out. The Treasury will be bankrupt.
What nextf Mr. Tilden withholds the
answer. There can bo but one. At this
stage the country would be deep in civil
war.
Such is the progxamme laid down for the
guidance of the Democratic Party in behalf
of its defeated candidate for the Presidency.
The fli'st reflection it suggests is, that the
programme would bo more dangerous in the
hands of almost any other man than Mr.
TiLOEN. Ho is a coward. He hr,s not the
coura;;6of his convictions. LeIsci-i depicted

DEN calling upon Democrats to nse in in-
surrectionj, and dodging into a closet,
frightened at the sound of his
own voice. He has never yet
dared to risk his own neck, and he is
not likely to muster the requisite nerve now.
His tactics are not the less infamous.be-
cause others will be left to pay the penal-
ties. And though we are persuaded that his
timidity will rfestrain him from any effort
to execute the revolutionary plot fore-
shadowed by the World, the fact re-
mains that its promulgation must
tend to incite Democratic ruffians
to mischief, and to deepen the
distrust which already exists. The habit
of familiarizing the mob with ideas of re-
sistance to lawfully constituted authority is
of Itself most dangerous. It is the first spe-
cific attempt to Mexicanize our politics, and
comes, consistently enough, from the defeat-
ed candidate who has done his utmost to
degrade the office he is too eager to clutch.
A FOREIGN CRITIC IN A FOG.
The Economist, of London, is a paper
which we believe always intends to be cor-
rect, and which generally reasons with a
good deal of clearness and force. These-two
qualities have united to give it a singular
reputation, and it is looked up to with great
respect by its readers, as to its opinions both
on financial and on political topics. But
the wisest of men must go wrong in his
conclusions if his information is mistaken,
and the wisdom of the Economi8t on "The
Elections in the United States " is made to
look very foolish, because it has its facts from
some wholly untrustworthy source — about
equally, we should say from the Louisville
Republican and the New- York Nation.
For its first blunder, however, it must
probably hold the American dispatches of
the London press responsible. It refers to
the election of Mr. Tilden as "confidently
announced on • Wednesday by the Demo-
cratic Committee in New-YorkJ and de-
spondently acknowledged by the Republi-
cans." The Republicans, of course, did not
in fact on Wednesday after the election, or
any other day, acknowledge Mr. Tilden's
election despondently or otherwise. The
furthest they went was, as stated in the
earlier edition of The TiMsSof Wednesday
mornlag, to regard the election as doubtful,
and depending on the vote of the States
not then conclusively heard from.
But for its lois-information concerning the
associations and intentions of the two can-
didates, the Economist has undoubtedly to
thank its American authorities, whoever
they are. Among its statements are the
following : That "judged by the facts of
the campaign, it may be said that Mr. Hayes'
pledges with respect to reform have been
broken by anticipation;" that " it is obvious
that' Mr. Hayes, who has been a lay
figure during the campaign, would be
a mere instrument in the hands
of the politicians who nominated
him at Cincinnati, and who have worked
for his success since then ; that " his Cabi-
net would probably include Mr. Blaine,
Mr. Morton, Mr. Chandler, Mr. Bout-
well, Mr. CoNKLiNG, Mr. Logan, Mr.
Sherman, and Mr. Cameron," and that
"place would be found, perhaps, for Gen.
BurLER and the 'carpet-baggers,' who
have done good service in Louisiana
and South Carolina." If the Economist
were published in Skowhegan, we should
suspect that it was on the list of the "Lit-
erary Bureau." No sane American needs to
be told that Mr. Hayks is the last man to
break his pledges "by anticipation,*^ or to
become an instrument in any one's hands.
But if he were to surrender to the poli-
ticians, he would not, unless he wished to
be torn in pieces, place himself in the
hands of a set so completely
at variance with each other as
the one the Economist has tossed into his
probable Cabinet. A Cabinet with Mr.
Blaine on the one hand, and Messrs. Conk-
LiNG and Butler on the other, might do
for Dublin, under Home Rule, but not for
Washington. The intormant of the Econo-
mist ought, too, in mercy to his victim, to
have remembered that Mr. Conkling has
taken no share in the Presidential contest,
that Mr. Botlkr has just been elected to
the House of Representatives, in which his
seat will be of more value to him than any
other place, and that a Cabinet with only
seven places in it cannot easily accommo-
date nine persons, to say nothing of the
" Southern carpet-baggers who have done
good service," &c.
The London philosopher allows Mr. Til-
den's partisans to mislead it hopelessly on
other points. " If Mr. Tilden be elected,"
it says, " there is every reason to believe
that he will carry out his strong and clear
views on financial questions with the aid of
sound economists." It would be pleasant
to US to learn what Mr. Tilden's " strong
and clear views " referred to are. Do they
include his shuffling assent to the repudia-
tion of the pledge of resumption con-
tained in the act of Jan. 14, 1875,
his refusal directly or indirectly to
approve contraction as a preparation
for resumption, and his vague indorse-
ment of the inflation theory that the Gov-
ernment is bound to keep the currency com-
mensurate with the " wants of trade " ? Are
they the views -which made him so accept-
able to the "greenback" Democrats that
an independent ticket representing their
ideas did not get enough votes to be
worth mentioning? "There is not the
least ground for supposing that a
Democratic administration, under such a
man as Mr. TIldkn," says the Economist,
■' would do anything to impair the credit of
the United States." That is an impression
with which we ought not, perhaps, to in-
terfere ; but as we know that the Demo-
cratic Party includes ninety-nine per cent,
of the inflationists of the country, and a
large number of active men in the
South who expect to get from it
the .satisfaction ot very great claims
for war damages; and as the latter are
necessarily allies of the former, because by
inflation only can the payment of the claims
bo made possible, we are bound to say that
the Economist's impression is a hasty and
erroneous one, not founded on facts.
Even though Mr. Tildkn were to
call to his counsel all the states-
men who the Economist fondly imagines
will be among his advisers, including
" Senator Bagard " and " Mr. Trumball,"
with the nearly omniscient Ma David A.
Wells, he could not hooe to withstand
whoUy the energetic gneed of the large
tnaaa at bis narty in the South and West
which would strive for inflation, repudiation,
and the payment of the Southern claims.
A BANKRUPT PLEASURE-GROUND.
Melancholy reigns in Central Park. The
bold mariners, marvelously uniformed and
free with strange oaths, no longer breast the
raging billows of the lake. Their rakish
craf c are hauled up to molder in the No-
vember rain, and the crews are standing in
a dispirited line where men seek employ-
ment as car conductors on the Third Avenue
Line. The gray-coated guardians of the green-
sward no longer imbibe their furtive drinks
inthe rear of the casino, with one eye on the
passing stranger, and* forget to enforce the
regulations forbidding children to speak in
accents above a whisper. They gloomily
pause and muse over the empty cages
where the melodious cockatoo and the elo-
quent macaw have ceased to practice acro-
batic feats. The men who used to earn two
dollars a day by picking up dead leaves,
one at a time, have vanished like a strug-
gling dream at break of day. The three-
storied head (with a mansard) of Walter
Scott is bowed in bronze dejection over a
deserted mall, and the wobbly camel chews
the bitter cud of despair. In the meteorolog-
ical department a few observers scan the
instruments with moody silence, and occa-
sionally utter, in accents of woe, "Nor'-nor'-
west by n'oth, with an increase of moisture
on the wet bulb." The paleontological
museum is closed. The searcher after truth
is met with an impenetrable door. The
monkeys sit in disconsolate rows, unpoked
by the casual visitor. The striped tiger
howls in a solitude resembling that of his
own Barcan desert. The pensive elephant
'ruminates on the transitory nature of
American institutions, and President Mar-
tin informs a meddlesome newspaper re-
porter that " everything is going to the
devil."
The aspect is gloomy. For a season, all
was well. During the summer the Central
Park was » adorned with some of the finest
specimens of living statuary extast.
Groups of men, apparently clad in the cor-
duroys and galligaskins of Erin, were thick-
ly clustered over the Park in highly orna-
mental attitudes. The mower who blithely
whet his scythe, did scarcely anything
else all day ; and the man who picked up
waste paper left m the ramble by Centen-
nial lunch-eaters was a model of
how not to do it. The gray-backed
policemen had the curious wayfarer
under constant surveillance from iiie time
he entered the gates until he departed. It
was as much as one's life was worth to set
foot on a tuft of grass, and only the lawless
and depraved ventured to -drop a crumb of
bread or a sliver of "fine-cut" to the greedy
gold-fish in the basins. Now all is changed.
Eight men alone remain to keep the wild
animals from starving. The peacocks run
around without tail-feathers, unregenerato
school-boys turn summersaults on the grass,
and the goat-carriages riotously cavort
along the esplanade, regardless of the rules
against fast driving. Is it any wonder that
President Martin declares that everything
is going to the bad ?
Let us elucidate, if possible, the cause of
this disaster. The Department of Parks
had an appropriation of several hundred
thousand dollars. This amount was ju-
diciously divided into items. The Police,
the monkeys, Bronx River Bridge, Inde-
pendence Day, a«d other objects of the
public care, were liberally provided for.
Under the patriarchal administration of
Mr. Martin, the multitudinous laborers
disposed themselves in picturesque
groups all over the Park. They
rivaled the bronze statues in number
and immobility. The elephants went
on a wild debauch of unlimited gmger-
bread, and the hard-featured ostriches de-
voured ten-penny nails without regard to
expense or digestion. There was a noisy
saturnalia in the monkey-house, and the
parrot-cages resounded with unseemly
mirth. The "gray-backs" of the terrace
and long drive sunned themselves in the
Autumn days, and wore their uniforms into
University place whisky shops on the night
of the Presidential election. Everything was
generously managed, and the menagerie
was a scene of reckless dissipation. Sud-
denly a change came over the scene. There
was no money to buy meat for the hyena,
none to pay salaries of laborers and other
living statuary. There was an appropria-
tion for the Bronx River bridge and for the
Police; but even the ostrich declined bridge
timber, with thanks ; and the ornamental
gentlemen who have drawn salaries with
commendable regularity refused to be paid
as policemes. President Martin swore that
the animals should not be shown, asd that
the whole concern should go to the bow-
wows— so to speak.
Therefore, until the Brazilian ape, the
South American tapir, and the Malay bear
can be fed on policemen or the Bronx River
Bridge, the menagerie will be closed and the
paleontological museum will be as a valley of
dry bones. The casual stranger from Osh-
kosh will gaze vristfully, but from a dis-
tance, OH the unkempt yak of Tartary, and
vainly flatten his nose against the window-
panes ■which confine the ring-tailed baboon
and that remote ancestor of the human race,
the chimpanzee. Unless relief comes from
some quarter, the elephant and the mUd-
eyed giraffe will yet be led down Fifth ave-
nue by the dejected Maktin, solicitinc alms
for the famished members of a menagerie
whose trembling limbs attest the financial
destitution of the Department of Parks. But
we fear that where Martin is there would
be a pecuniary deficit, even if he adopted
this method of earning his salary.
THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR.
Though there have been but few very re-
cent contributions to the literature of Pop-
peuhusenology, there is no question that
the subject occupies the fii'st place in mod-
ern thought. The manifestations of Pop-
PK.NHCSi'.N are so frequent and' plain as to
compel the attention of all thinking men.
Until recently the price of a railway ticket
for six months between Flushing and Long
Island City was $26. Now the unhappy
traveler is compelled to pay $50 for the
same amount of transportation. Formerly
an excursion ticket was good for an unlim-
itei time. At present, in direct defiance of
the law, a Long Island excursion ticket
must be used within thrse days or the con-
ductor rei'uses to recognize it. Facts like
these furnish an irresistible argument in
proof of the existence of a Poppenhusen.
The Long Island materialist may say in his
heart, or even on the stteet corners, that
there is no Poppknhosbn, but every Intel-
ligent man who buyg a railway ticket knows
better. Even if it were for a moment possi-
ble to ascribe the increase of the price of
commutation to the action of blind chance,
it is certain that chance has not ordained
the law by which the number of trains on
the Long Island railroads decreases inversely
as the price of tickets.
At one period it was believed by many,
whose opinions were entitled to respectful
attention, that there ezistedatleast five dis-
tinct and separate Pofpknhusens. Though
there are several specious arguments which
seem to support this view, the most pro-
found " commuters " now hold that there is
but one Poppenhusen, who roles and gov-
erns Long Island in the wrong way. What
ie the precise nature of this Poppenhusen
is, however, a matter upon which specula-
tion is divided. Is he one and indivisible,
or does he possess both a Teutonic and a
railway nature ? Does the same Poppen-
husen manifest himself at one time as a
consumer of beer and at another as the
ruler of railways, or are beer and railways
united in one and the same Poppenhusen t
The Positivist puts this important question
aside by claiming that it is one which we
cannot solve, and with which we ought not
to concern ourselves. The conscientious
Long Islander cannot thus lightly dismiss
it, and hence he takes a lively interest in
the subtle speculations of learned and acute
'* commuters."
Regarded exclusively in his Teutonic as-
pect, Poppenhusen might easily be recog-
nized as a gracious and beneficent being.
The most gifted photographers have loved
to represent him with sunny hair, profound
and placid eyes, and a kindly and sympathet-
ic nose. If such a being were to have any
connection with railways, we should expect
him to establish a| passenger tariff of mil-
lennial cheapnessj and to cherish his be-
loved " commuters " with the tenderest
care. Such a Poppenhusen would speedily
make Long Island a land flowing with beer
and pretzels, and would carry the public
from Greenport and Sag Harbor to Long
Island City in palace cars of flowery ease.
Fathers and mothers would bless him, and
children would try to ■ lisp the first few
dozen consonants of his name, while prais-
ing him as an improved Variety of the
legendary Santa Clans. Poppenhusen, in
his Teutonic aspect, may not visibly exude
an overflowing intellect from every crevice
of his clothing, but that he is apparently
sweet _^nd lovely it would be idle to deny.
Look now .upon the railway Poppen-
husen. He tramples on the "commuter,"
and strives with fiendish ingenuity to drive
the public from his railways. He takes
away familiar trains, he donbles the price
of tickets, and he insures the baskmptcy
of the unfortunate man who ventures to
send a trunk over the Long Island Railroad,
or its branches, by express. He saw that
many passengers traveled over his Glen
Cove Branch, and he furiously drove them
away from his trains, so that they now
travel by a friendly steam-boat. He har-
assed the dwellers along tho South-Side
Road, until they held meetings, and drew up
petitions, which he straightway mocked at
and laughed to scorn. He inade life a bur-
den to the Whitescone people, insomuch
that they now cry out to the steam-boat
men to have pity on them, and to help them
to fly with their wives and little ones from
the presence of Poppenhusen. In the
gloomy seclusion of his India-rubber fac-
tory, he reads the reports which show that
here and there a few people still imprudent-
ly travel on his roads, and he gnashes his
teeth, and resolves to still further increase
the rates of .fare. Meanwhile, the Long
Island people hate him with a hatred pass-
ing that of pretty women for other pretty
women. Opinion is divided as to whether
he is the Beast or the False Prophet — the
pools showing that the odds are 100 to 90
in favor of the Beast theory. The Long
Island baby is hushed by the threat that
POPPKNHUSEN will come and seize it, and
in the charming village of Huntington the
local deacons and physicians, as they
thoughtfull$£ stir their tar-kettles and air
their stock of feathers, grimly wish that
they had Poppenhusen in their toils.
How can we reconcile these two diverse
portraits f Is the good Teutonic Poppenhu-
HUSEN and the malignant railway Poppen-
husen really the same person T Can the
good asd evil principles be thus united, or
must we believe that Poppenhusen, when
he manifests himself through the medium
of beer is altegether lovely, and when he
manifests himself as "a railway gombany "
is altogether bad T This is the question
which now engages the Long Island mind,
and it is more than doubtful if the present
generation will witness its satisfactory solu
tion.

Tilden by threats of excommnnication if they went

It has a white pepnlation of 4,7W, aad s
black population of 14,287. ^
Here is an account of the manner fn whleh
the election was conducted by the Tildea Ba-
lormers in that county. Itwaea private let-
ter, written to a Hississippi exile, in WaabinK-
ton — a man-of edueatum and stainless chuae-
ter, who had always acted with the eoneerva-
tive wing of the Sepublican Party- He was
driven out as soon as be rettised te aid Ike
plans ot the Sbet-gun Dsmoeracy.
The letter is datediNatctaez. Oet. 31:
" In reyrmL to politieal affairs.onr sitoation is
not very flatterinjj. Our prospects of eairyinc
the State for Hayes and Wheeler are gloomy.
With a Sepublican ma)oritr of over 30.000, we
will be obliged to suecnmb to the WmelMster
rifle, the bowie-knife, and the bludgeon. Tho
Democracy in this section are anrased to fever
heat They are threatening and defiaat They
publicly and openly declare that they do not
wish to nurt or harm any of the eolered people,
but tbat in case of any disturbance or trouble
they intend to ge for the leaders, and that they
intend te hold^the leaders responsible for the
good behavior and ooadoct of the oolered peo-
ple. Their great desire is to get the colored
people into some altercation, and then, uader
the pretenoe of maldiu; the peace and proteoc-
ing the people, assault all prominent and influ-
ential Bepublieans and aasassinate them indis-
criminately. "^
Gen. Chalmers, the Fort Pillow butcher, "km
been here again stirring up strife and beiehiaA^
enthusiasm into the hearts of the Kuklnz De-
mocracy. They have had: two barbesoes in
the county during the weeiE. The whites
turned out en masse from the sorroundiai^
coanties, and the intimidation squads from
Amite, Jefferson. Claiborne, ana Fraaklm
Counties were present with their ai:ms and
ammunition, artillery, infantry, and cavalljf.
They met with a coroial reception from tb^
Adams County utiniidation squad. ' *^
The condition of the colored BepnUicaas fm
Claiborne, Wilkinson, .Jefferson, and Aasite
Counties is deplorable m the extreme if one-
half be true that I have becu4 of tiieir condi-
tion.
Scarcely a day er night passes but that soma
colored Aevublioan is taken out and shot or
beaten to death, or flogged to the tune of 500
lashes, and in many instances they are lashed
to death. The number of colored Bepobticuu
who have been assassinated and oatnured by
these lawless, bloodthirsty, unreoonstmeted
Democrats will never be known. Their condi*
tion is truly deplorable, aad they are at the
mercy ot tbese unscrupulous assassins, who
have no more scruples about kilHng a Bepobli-
can than you would have in killing a snake.
The strong arm of the Government should be
brought down heavily over the heads of theee
traitors.
In none of these counties are Bepmblieans
allewed to meet or to lorm elubs, or ia any
manner to organize; and all prominent Bo-
publicans, blaok or white, have been e&tbor
silenced or driven from their fasailies aad
homes.
They denounce the Nertb far " aihakinc tte
bloody shut," and appeal to the Korthem
Democracy for assistance, if a lew ot these
Northern Democrats were to come to Miasia-
sippi and remain a few months among their
Suuthem friends in this part <rir the coantiT',
they would hiave an opportunity of seeing not
only a bloo4y shirt but a bloody bady of a
human being; pierced with balls &«m the Wla-
chester rifle or the revolver in ths faaads of
these White *Line assa^ns. And the blood
oAzing out from every biulet-bole would be the
lite- blood ot a Republican, whose only crime
was that he was a Republican.
There can be no comparison as to the «fc»^tm
of the bloody shirt and the makmg of bloody
JNotwithstandiag our sup
corpses. " "
roundmgs here I feei confident that the day ol.
deliverance is at hand, and I feel satiafled
that the loyal element of the oountry will yet
listen to our cries lor help and restore order ia
this State."
But that can never be done if the Senate of
the United ^>tates permits L<amar to take his
seat. At least three himdred men were slain
last Summer to effect the rebellion which eol-
minated in his eleotioiL Will the Senate

Let us see how great the outrage is that ia
done to American civilization by not toleratiQC
the organization of a single Repubiican elnb in
the counties indicated by this writer :
Amite has a blaok population of 6,777
Jefferson has a black population of 10,663
Claiborne has a black population of 9,996

The total white population of these
four counties is.-- • 14,499
Ablaokm^ority of. 16,807
Each of these counties has a black mi^jerity ;
the Bepublieans have always bad a maiority in
each of them. In each of them the Democrats
have had a solid vote. Here, tben. 31,000
American oitizdns were denied the penooal
right of assemblintc peaeetuUy; here, free
speech was utterly denied to them ; here, out-
rages and murders were committed on tbeir
leaders ; and, here, refused the gresbt preroga-'
tive of republican citizenship, ot oboosing their
own rulers, their vote has been perverted
to aid in the eleetioii of men whom they dis-
trust and dread. The statements of this wnter
are borne out by a eloud of witnesses, who will
come forward at a later day. ' '

These eounties are in the 8outh--we8tem pai*t
of AfississippL Let us now take a glimpse at
the campaign in Tallahatchie Coudij, in the
north-^westem part of the State. The writer ia
a native of Mississippi, and the son of one of
its most distinguished men, one of the wealth-
iest land-owners in the State, and as tmthtol
as he is brave. He writes under date ot Oct
1& This letter also was written to a Mississip-
pian in Washington, without thought ef publi*
cation :
" You ask me, How are the times % My God I
they are terrible — as bad as 1861, and more
hatred than in 1869. ' A Bepabhoan has about
as much chance here now at a ChristiaB would
bave in hell. Freedom of speech is almort eu-
tirely suppressed. If a Republican attesapts it
he does it at the risk ot his life. Col. Walton
came vety near being mobbed in tbis place c
a week or so ago, when he and Col. Manning
had their joint discussion."
Just a word here. "The Democrats of M^s.
sissippi are loyal to the Union;" Gov. Hooker
and Singleton and Lamar, each and all ol.
them, unequivocally say so — and they oujrht te ;
know, as all of them were rebels.
That is what thev say. But what have the
Mississippi Democracy done to sustain tbese '
statements? They elect Gen. Chalmers, the
leader ol the Fort Pillow massacre, to Con-
gress ; and not content with that defiant chal-
lenge to the loyal North, they elect, in Lamai-'a

The writer proceeds :
"They shot at my waitine boy, a colored
ioan, three times, and followed him into my
yard. It \7as a good thing fur them that I was

I cannot tell you half. Yon see by the papers

Let us now go to tho central portion of Mia-
•issippi— the county in which the capital of the
State is situated. In The Nbw-Yohk Daily
Times of Aug. 4, 1 described the cowardly as-
sasaination of Charles Caldwell, the Drave col-
ored leader of the Republicans of Clinton, It
wae » terribl'a story ; and it was told in the
widow's own words. But the Clinton massa-
cre in the same place and county, some months
before, has never yet oeen related, excepting
In the reports and evidence of the Mississippi
Investigating Committee. The Republicans
called a maas-meeting and barbooue. The in-
vitation was addressed to Sepablioana exclu-
sively. A tew weeks before. Editor Harper, of
the Raymond Oazette, recommended that a
committee of Democrats attend every Repub-
hcan meeting and ffive the lie to the speakers
whenever they said anything which they be-
lieved to be untrue. A committee from Ray-
mond was at Clinton. A Democratic speaker
was invited to open the meeting. He spoke
and w»8 listened to with attention — without in-
terruptions, without discourtesy Irom the
great multitude of negroes. As soon as the
Republican speaker began his reply, the com-
mittee interrupted him and gave him the lie.
Soon a riot began — the whites opening it Sev-
eral were killed on both sides. This was on
Saturday. The telegraph instantly summoned
armed companions from Jackson, Edward's
Station, and Vieksburg. The preconcerted plot
w&a developed instantly. The town was filled
with armed men. Next day they rode through
the surrounding country, shooting down the
blacks as if they were wild beasts. It is ea-
*ijratad that fifty of them were slaughtered.
Whatt was the result ot this massacre on the
Presidential election? Only tour returns have
reached Washington from Hinds County, but
they tell a lesson that needs no interpreter.
Clinton always gave a Republican majority
#f from 500 to 720. On the 7th of November
last it east onlv 36 votes.
Edwards' Station, eighteen miles from Clin-
ton, gave about 800 votes. On the 7th of No-
Tember last it gave — not one Bepublican vote.
Bolton, eight miles from Clinton, cast 400 Re-
publican votes before the shot-gun era. On the
7th of November last it gave 16 vote.

Kemper County is on the central-eastern
boundary — adjoining the State of Alabama. It
has a wiiite population of 5,706, and a black
population of 7,214. The committee in Wash-
ington sent a white Republican there some
campaign documents for distribution, last Oc-
tober. He aoKuowledged their receipt in these
terms:
" They won't d» any good ; the Democrats
say they don't need any argument to snow that
Tilden is not a reformer ; that they are going
to carry this county if they have to wade in
blood to do it."

From the World, Hon. 21.
Much of the speaking and writing about the
Docsibie resnlt of an nnjost and illegal retnrn made
by the Sl^aw-Orloana board, apoears to proceed on
the idea that what we are in the habit of calling
" the inauguration of the President" will necessa-
fUv te a tnrning poin s in the legal relations of (he
situation. On .hat theory,^ may be, an army is to
be coneenCrated m and about Washington — a move-
ment which id well enoagb, and proper enough, per-
haps, if the aathorities have good reason to think
violence is meditated by the Kadicals, or any one
else. Bnt of what legal conseqnence are the pomp
and ceremony of what we c»U " iaaogaration oayJ"
If a candidate is lawfully declared to be elected, all
that ia needed to make him Preeiaenti ia that hu
take tbe uath of office pre^oribed in the Constita-
tion, and that oath can be taken betore
any Magistrate competent under federal law
to adnunister oaths. If we mistake not, the
oath of Vice Presideut Xing was administered to
him in Cuba. The oath has heretofore been taken
by the Prebident before the Chief Jastice, but there
la no efiicacy in him in aacn matters, above any
other Federal Magistrate, nor is thera any special
virtue in the Capitol as the place. It is not neces-
sary that either Tilden or Hayes be in
"Waahington when the eomoetent aatoority
declares either of them duly elected to te
President, and, according to the legal iaeas of the
preaent Administration, it ia not required that
either be m '<Va3bin(iton to execute tu« uiBce ot
Prealdeut. President Grant isnued his imuortant
orders of the 10th iost. to i he Army from Philadel-
phia. Occupation of the White Hi>a8e is, on tbo^ie
ideas, not vital to valid acts by the President. The
result of a loot-race tor that edifice can therefore
be thrown ont of toe calcnlation.
Nor do we believe there is to be an unseemlv row
between the House and Senate, if it shall be totind
that the two bodiea disagree (and we do not think
they will disagree when all ihe facts are assembled)
over the right ot the votes ot any State to be count-
ed, ii, wnen they meet toexamine tbevotas, a mem-
bec^f either body objects to counting any State, we
assume (hat the Senate wUlwiih dignity retire, if the
ha|l of tho Hoane be the place of meeting, and
suable the House to deliberate, and itself to delib-
erate thereon, with propriety and decorum. If, on
reassembling, both houses agree to reject the State,
does any one suppose that the President of the Sen-
ate will persist la couutine it t If the two houses
oisa^ree, will the President ot one body any
the more bo digpoi>ed to count it » ijut if
the Uoase decides to exclude, and the Sen-
ate to include, the contested State; if the
President of the Senate nevertheleiis coacts
it and declares Gov. Hayes to be President ; and if
the Hotise, on the other hand, decides that no can-
didate had a majority of all the Electors "appoint-
ed," and then elects Gov. Tilden to be President,
and so declares and so informs him ! Then we
have the spectacle of two Presidents, both claim-
ing to be leiially elected, both taking the
oath of oflice btfore a competent Magistrate,
and tbe House upboldiug Tilden and the Sen-
ate recogLiziug duly Hayes. On neither theory
can Grant b« lu office afierthe4th of March to com-
mand tho Arojy or anything else. He can possibly,
before his term txpires, convene the next Congress
to meet on ihe Sch of March, 1877, bat the two
bouKes ot thai Congrega would probably differ just
as the two housss oi me pieneu't Congregs differ.
Kow, there is not ULcessarily anv not or tumult
or reToiniion in Waahiug'on over this condition of
two Presidents. All exoeutive oliicer». incladinK
Army and Navy ufliceis, would, to be sure, need to
deoide, each for himself, which of the two he would
obey. The Senate and House, of course, would not
(i£ree about legiitlation. Neiiher Pre.siaent woulu
venture to take, or order to be taken, any niouev
out of the Tieasnry wilbont au appropriatien there-
lor by Congress. The eiinting annual a[>propiiar
tions woald endure till the l»t of next July, and
then neither Prtsidfint would have public funds to
pay any official, civil or military.
The people 01 the Uuited States ought to be able,
and are a^le, to look all these contintfencies calmly
U the face, because they ought to be, and are, capa-
ble of sell-iioveriiiuent. They are not children or
hysterical persons, from whom a statement of pog-
sible peril i» to be withheld. Ou the contrary, it is
lor the public good that, while the eeneral temper
is so amiable and healthful, the people get a clear
and comprelionsive view of what may happen if the
President of t^ie Senate persists iu counting a State
which at leaet one house ot Coni;res8, auu which a
great n^ajority ot candid persons, may think it is
wrong, lIlBgal, and fraudulent to count. The col-
lecting > f troops in Waahineton, or tho rumor of
such colleciiui:. compels the country to put on its
*thiakiug-cap ! ' '

1MPOKT4NT CORKEBPONDBNCE ON TURKISH
AFPAIRS — LORD LOFTUS' ACCOUNT OF
HIS INTERVIEW WITH THE CZAR— THE
MOST SOLEMN DISCLAIMER OF THE LAT-
TER OF ANY DESIRE FOR CONQUEST.
London, Nov. 21.— A dispatch to Eeuter's
Telegram Company from St. Petersburg says a dis-
patch of Prince Gortsohakoff to Count Schonvaloff,
theKujsian Ambassador at London, dated Nov. 7, is
published. The Prince expresses satisfaction that
Lord Derby recognized. In his dispatch of Oct. 30
to Lord Loftns, the British Ambassador at St.
Petersburg, (which was sent for transmission to
Prince Gortscliakoff, ) the efforts of the Knssian
Cabinet to co-operate with England. Prince Gorts-
chakofif explains the necessity arising from tde fail-
ure of diplomacy to subordinate the integrity of Tur-
key to the guarantees which are demanded by the
ioterests of humanity and the peace of Europe. In
conclusion, the Prince denies that Kussia enter-
tains afterthoughts respecting Constantinople.
Another dispatch from Prince Gortschakoff. dated
Oct. 22, expresses Eussia's regret at England's giv-
ing way to groundless apprehensions.
The Foreign OflSce publishes a dispatch in which
Lord Loftus, the British Ambassador to Itussia,
reports in detail what passed at an audience he
had with the Czar on Nov. 2. Ha reports that
the Czar said he bad sent the ultimatum to
tho Porte because he feared the discomfiture
of the Servian Army miEht be followed bv
atrocities. The Porte had, by a series of manceu-
vres, frustrated all attempts at pacification. The
present state of things was intolerable. TTnleas
Europe was prepared to act firmly and energet-
ically he would be obliged to act alone. He re-
gretted to see that inveterate suspicion
and continual fear of Russian aggression
still existed in England. The Czar reminded
Lord Loftus that he had on several occasions given
most solemn assurauces that he desired no conquest.
He had not the smallest wish or intention to
acquire Constantinople. Such an acquisition would
be a misfortune for Sussia.
The following are the exact words of that por-
tion of the dispatch referring to Constantinople :
"The Czar pledged his sacred word of honor, in
the most earnest and solemn manner, that be had
no intention of acquiring Constantinople, and that
If necessity shonld force him to occupy a portion of
Bulgaria it would only be provisionally, un-
til the peace and safety of the Christian popula-
tion were secured. The Czar could not under-
stand, when both countries had a common object,
namely, the amelioration of the condition of the
Christiaos, and whea he had given every proof that
he had no desire for conquest, why there should
not be perfect understanding between England and
finssla, based on a policy of peace, which would be
equally beneficial to their n&utaal interests and to
the interests of Europe generally. The Czar said
nothing could be more absurd than the intentions
attributed to Bussia ot the future conquest of In-
dia, which was an utter impossibility. Ho deeply
deplored the distrust manifested in England ; earn-
estly requested mo to do the utmost to dispel it, and
charged me to convey to her Majesty's Gorernment
the solemn assurances h* had given me."
The dispatch also states that in regard to the
rumor that Servia and Bomania demanded that
they should be erected into independent kingdoms,
the Czar said that there was no intention of estab-
lishing any such kingdoms, and such a course would
be folly. The Czar explained that he had permitted
officers to go to Servia, provided they left the !Ras-
sian service, in the hope of calming the agitation in
Bassia.
The foregoing dispatch was verified by Prince
Gortachakoff betore its transmission to Lord Der-
by, and approved, as correctly representing the
views expressed by the Czar.
Lord Derby replied instrnciiag Lord Lottns to
inform the Czar and Prince Gortschakoff that the
Queen and her Government received the Czar's as-
surance with the greatest satl.^faction. The Busaian
Government having requested the publication of
this correspondence, as it contained assurances of a
nature to tranquillize public feeling. Lord Derby
informs Lord Loftns that he granted this request,
considerinz the publication opportune, in view of
the mobilization of Kussiau forces, and the issue of
a loan.
London, Nov. 22. — The correspondent of the
Timet explains the origin of the rumors of mobiliza--
tion in Austria and Hungary. He says the Austre-
Hungarian Government has issued instruc-
tions to the authorities throughout the country
informing them how to proceed in the
event of mobilization being ordered. The
authorities are enioined to have notices
ordering mobilization ready far distribution, and to
have messengers ready to distribute such notices.
Upward of a hundred thousand messengers will be
wanted for this bnsinessin the capitals alone. The
railways have also been ordered to furnish returns
of the number ot trucks and wagons available for
transport service.
The Times' Berlin dispatch says Austria seems to
have determined not to oppose a Kussian invasion
of Bulzaria or an Eaelish occupation of Consian-
tii\op'e. Austria will probably preserve com-
plete neutrality at the commencement of any
war, and proceed to independent action only very
gradually. Her first step, if she precipitates war
at all, will be to occupy Bosnia.
The Times dispatch from Pesth says the Bouma-
nian Government is preparing everything requisite

A DESPERATE EFFORT TO BE MADE TO SE-
CURE THE SENATE — ELECTION NOTICES
DESTROYED TO AFFORD GROUND FOB
CONTESTING MR. BR.4Y'8 SEAT.
Special Dispatch to tlie New-York Times.
Hartford, Noy. 2L — Something of a stir has
been made in political circles by the annouucement
that the Democrats of the Sixth Senatorial District
propose to con lest the election of Mr. Bray, Be-
publican, to the State Senate. Bray was elacied
over Guy, Democrat, by a small malorityi The
Senate, as the returns show, will st.^nd politically
eleven Repuhlioans and ten Democrats, and as the
House is Bepnblioan by a considerable majority,
all the legislative appointments, notably the elec-
tion of Common Pleas and City Court Judges and
County Commissioners, will be Bepublican. More-
over, the political ascendency of the Bnpablicans
opens the way far the repeal of the grossly parti&an
enactments which the Democrats have put in
force, and under which many frauds have
been consummated. The importance to the Demo-
crats, therefore, of counting Bray out and Guy in is
worth an effort on their part certainly ; bnt they do
not appear to have a good case as the facts are dis-
closed. The claim ia that the posting of local no-
tices in the town of Enst Haven was not carried out,
and therefore the whole vote of that town, which
was largely Bepublican, should be thrown out. To
throw it out would elect Guy. But the Constable
of East Haven, who had charge of the matter, ia
ready to tostify that the notices were posted within
the time required by law, but were torn down by
Democrats on the following day, as if there were a
preconcerted plan to raise the very question which
is now being agitated. Meanwhile the official re>
turns will show that Mr. Bray is elected, and he
will take his seat, and then the whole case must be
acted upon by the Senate. It is claimed that Mr.
Bray cannot vote on a question in which he is per-
sonally interested, bnt he may certainly act in the
mattsr of determining the legal points involved, as
to the proper giving of notice, and that once settled
disposes of the whole case. Evidently the Demo-
crats will make nothing out of their present pro-
gramme, and the Bepublicsns will hold possession
of both branches of the General Assembly to which
they are honedtli^en titled.

POINTMENT OP COMMITTEES.
Special Dispatch to the New-York Timet.
Albany, Nov. 21.— The convention for the
formation of a State Bar Association' met in the
Assembly Chamber at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The
attendance was large, the personnel of tho conven-
tion representing in an unusual degree the learning
and culture of the Bat of this State. The organiza-
tion, while having the bearty indorsement of
all the leading Judges and lawyers, had also
the nrpsence of many distinguished legal gentlemen,
tbe remark being made, just before the convention
met, that seldom had there gathered toyether so
many leading members of the Bench and Bar. The
convention was called to order by Mr. Elliott F.
Shepard, of New-York, and Hon, W. C. Euger, of
Syracuse, was called to act as temporary Chairman.
Upon taking the chair he briefly addressee the as-
sociation, after which theorganizationwns completed
by the appointment of Edward Mitchell, Marcus T.
Hnn, and William Bnmsev as Secretaries. Among
the centleman present from New-York City were

The proceeuings of the convention opened
with a suggestion that a committee be appointed
to offer a proposition for the consideration of thnsa
present ; bat it was tot aside, and a resolntion
aaopted to the effect that in the opinion of the gen-
tlemen present it was advisableto organize a '• State
Bar Association."
Judge Hand moved that a committee be ap-
pointed to i^eport a conttitution and by-laws. Tho
resolution called Out some debate as to the size cf
this conrmittee, many of the gentlemen desiring
that every county in the State should be rep-
resented. Mr. Ballard, of Cortland, thought
tho idea of forming a Bar Association was
one of the noblest proiccts iiossible, and
he warmly advocated the proposition of Jnd e
Hand, whose motion was agreed to. The presid-
ing officer then appointed the following gentlemen
to frame a constitution and by-laws for the
State Bar Association: First Judicial District,
Elliot P. Sheppard, Albert Matthews; Second
Judicial District, A. E. Suff^rn, J. J.
Armstrong; Third Judicial District, Samuel
Han rl, Irving Brown; Fourth Judicial District, S.
W. Jackson, J. R. Pitman ; Fifth Judioi.il District,
Prank Hiscock, E. S. Merrill; Sixth Judicial Dis-
trict. Geortre M. Diven. H. Ballard; Seventh Judi
cial District, J. C. Angle, C. A. Hawley ; Eighth
Judicial Diotrlct, H. C. Kingsbury, L. N.' Bangs.

Hon. W, C. Bnger of Syracuse ; Vice Presidents,
First District, John K. Porter; Second District,
D. P. Barnard ; Third District, P. S. Danforth ;
Fourth District. Piatt Porter ; Fifth Dis-
trict, Charles Rhodes ; Sixth District, 'Horatio
Ballard ; Seventh District, M. W. Cooke ; Eighth
Dittriot, Lorenao Morris ; Secretaries, Edward
Mitchell, Marcus T. Hun, William Bumsey. Con-
siderable discussion then arose as te the manner of
conducting the business of the convention, and
without coming to any dsflnite conclusion an ad-
lournment was effected until evening.
At the evening session there was a much larger
attendance than In the afternoon. Among the new
arrivals were Senator Prince, Lj'man Tremain,
Judge Barnard, Ex-Controller Nichols, and others
of prominence. The Committee on Constitution
and By-laws made a report, which was read,
and called ont a discussion lasting late into
the night. The repoi t was ultimately adopted, after
several material amendments and alterations bad
been made. The following are the salient points of
the constitution as agreed upon by the committea:
That the association shall ue known as the "New-
York State Bar Association," the object of which
shall be to cnltivate the science of jurisprudence,
to promote reform in the law, to facilitate tho ad-
ministration of justice, to elevate the standard of

Tfie State Bar Association immediately assem-
bled, the new officers taking their seats. President
John K. Porter, upon taking the chair, was
greeted with apolanse, and after thanking the As-
sociation for thfcir expression of confidence, said that
he felt more honored by his selection to ihe Presi-
dency of the association than any honor that could
be conferred upon him by Executive favor or the
suffrages of the people. He paid a tribute to
the legal fiaternity of the country, and prophesied
a useful future for the Bar Association of the State.
It was then agreed that proper steps be taken to
secure the incorporation of the associatiou, and

REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
two-thirds vote, and the amendment was adopted.
His decision was ai>pealed from, and be was unani-
mously sustalnetL The meeting then adjourned.
APPORTIONMENT OF DELEGATES FROM THE
VARIOUS DISTRICTS — AN AMENDMENT
TO THE CONSTITUTION ADOPTED.
The Republican Central Committee met last
evening at the head-quarters in Thirty-third street,
Mr. Jacob M. Patterson, Jr., In the chair. Col,
Joel W. Mason, of the Eiecutiva Committee, re-
ported that the committee had had under considera-
tion the apportionment of delegates to the Cen-
tral Committee from the various Assembly Districts,
and had decided that the basis of representation
should be one delegate for each 230 votes and for a
fractional part exceeding one-half thereof. This
apportionment, it was believed, would be more sat-
isfactory to the Republicans of the City, as it would
give a larger representation in the Central Com-
mittee, the present apportionment being one dele-
gate to every 33313 votes. When tbe question on
tbe report of the Executive Committee was put by
the Chairman it gave ri^e to some debate, bnt was
ultimately adopted.
A communication relating to the settlement c"f^
differences in the Twenty-first Assembly District
was read, and the sub-committee of the Central
Committee, having the matter in charge, was dis-
charged, in accordance with a recommendation iu
tne communication, wish thanks.
Ex-Judge A. J. Dittenhoefer asked whether or no
the amendment to the Constitution proposed by
mm, making the President of the German Bepubii-
can Cuntral Committee a member ex officio cf the
Bepublican Central Committefi, hud been voted
uuon by all th« Aasemblv District Assjoiations.
Tho Secretary announced tha" Utteen out ot the
twenty- tour assocl iiions iu the county had voted in
favor of the amendment.
Mr. Ditten hoofer said that it was the oomolaint
of many Republicans that the Germans ot thecouu-
trv and in this (Jity had not voted as l.rgely for the
Ropublicau Party in the late Presidential election
as thoy hii'l done iu previous ones. Hu
wished to answer this .ibsertiou. He had
no doubt that a large proportion of
Germans had voted against the Bepublican Party.
liHst year they contributed greatly to its snccoss iu
Ohio, Peuuayivaui^i, and Now- York City. They bad
been thanked by prouiineui Republicans for their
hearty co-operaiion. The lact that tliey had at one
time given the Bopublicau P.irty earnest support,
and at another had voied Hgaiust it, was proof that
they were not as irrevocably bound to any party as
were peoplo of other natiou.ilities. The Be-
publicauH, he believed, by bad logislatiou and
obnoxioas candidates, had repelled the Germans in
some instances. In this City tho liquor law bad
been stronglv enforced iu regard to tho sale of lacer
beer, and great leniency had been shown to the
keepers of saloons whero gin was sold. The way to
Becuro the Geiman vote was to do somethlug to
attract it, and that could be easily done.
Mr. G. B. Deane, on the couoluxion of Mr. Ditten-
hool'er'.s remarks, said that, in his opinion, the vote
of the flfceeu Assembly district associations that
had been cast for Mr. Dittenhoefor's amendment to
tho Constitution Becurud us adoption, as it was a
two-thirds vote. Some debate ensued. It was ar-
gued by several of the members thai there were
twenty-four asaooiations, and. that it waa
therefore clearly not a two-thirds vote. The Chair-
man decided that an threyB of the associations, those
in the Twenty-third and Twenty f lurth Wards,
represented onlv one Aaaembly district, it was a
THE BILLIARD TOURNAMENT.
TWO COSTESTS LAST EVENING — SL08S0N
AND DALY DEFEATED BY GARNIKR AND
SHAEFFER.
There was a very large audience last evening
to witness the third and fourth games of the Na-
tional Billiard Tournament at Tammany Hall, the
contestants being Messrs. Albert Gamier and
George F. Slosaon and Jacob Shaeffer and
Maaiice Daly. In the flrst game Gamier
won the lead, and selected the white ball.
In the flrst two innings neither player scored,
bntm (|ho fourth inning Slosson went boldly to work,
and, although he played some excellent gathering
shots, the balls scattered badly, and ho only suc-
ceeded in scoring 24 points. Gamier followed with
a neatly-played run of 10, going out on a massi, and
leaving the balls in good position for his < pponent,
who improved the opportunity, and by judicious play
succeeded in scoring 56 points, the fifty-sixth shot
being a pretty draw for oosllion. Then followed
four safety plays, each contestant making two, and
the balls were still in about the same position as at
flrst. Sloason approached the table, and after de-
liberately surveving the position of the ball.s,
played a lonsr single cushion shot which called forth
loud applanse. He retired, however, after having
scored 5 points. In the twelfth inning he rolled up
a fine run of 47, and at the end of the inning when
the game was called the string showed Girnier 75 ;
Slosson, 141. In the seventeenth inning tho latter,
bv careful unr.sing, added a run of over one hun-
dred to his score. Gamier, in the eighteenth
inning, by Carefully manipulating the Dallo, got
them together on the upper end ctishion, where he
began a remaraably line "nurse." At 100 be had
them on the centre of tne end cushion, and was still
working them gently toward the light-hand
cushion. He soon broke tbe set, however, but only
to brine the balls again into nursing position, when
he continued the run until he had closed rhe game,
the necessary number being 181 points. Following
is the score:
3, 3, 10, 0,
0, 28. 7, 6, 0, 18, O, 41. 1,

6HAEFFEE VS. DALT.
The contestants in the second game were Jacob
Shaeffer and Maurice Daily, and game waa called
at 10:10 o'clock, Shaeffar winning tho lead and
scoring three points m the flrst inning. Daily
failed to score, and his opponent followed suit dis-
playing great n^vousuess, which was, no doubt,
occasioned by its being the flrst time he played in
pablic. Daly played a cautious, steady game, and
in tbe third inning made a pretty run of
71, following it up during the next eieht
innings with others of 12, 15, 16 and
36, Shaeffer demonstrated tbe fact that he could
play a formidable game, but did not seem able to
hold the balls iu position. At tbe end of the four-
teenth Inning, in which Daly ^ade a run of 17,
the game was annonncd, Shaeffer, 41, Daly, 186.
In the next inning the former, who was rap-
idly regaining his confidence, played Bome
flne gatjiering shots, and began a very careful
'nurse," hut the balls " froze " on the the thirty-
fifth shot, and he failed tp make a counting stroke
from the spot. Daly then made it, and his oppo-
nent again went to work, this time getting the balls
in pcsUion In the upper left-hand corner, where he
" nursed " them beautifully tor a time, and then
began working them across the top cushion, scorini;
75 points before reaching the opposite corner. With
the seventy-sixth shot, the balls were again In front
of him on the side cushion and with the one hundred
and forty-third he broke the " set-up." By this
time the spectators had become wild with ex-
citement, and loudly applauded every little
effort on the part of the player, who exhibited some
very brilliant play in an effort to get the balls
again into "nursing" position. But .u was to no
purpose, and the run was closed at 155, The score
now stood, Daly, 191 ; Shaeffer, 231. Tbe former
was somewhat demoralized by this run, and did not
during the rest of the game, make mora than flfteeu
points in a single inning, while his adversary scored
runs of thirtv-nine in the eighteenth and twenty-
three in the twonty-flrst inning, closing the game in
the twenty-fourth with two, the last shot being a
marvelous flne cut and cushion, the cue ball going
from the top to the bottom of the table and half-
wav back before striking the second ob.Ject ball,
Tbe following is the score :
Shakffbr-3, 0, 2, 2, 0, 1, 3, 14, 1, 0, 1, 1, 12, 1, 35,
156, 5, 39. 0, 0,23, 0. 0, 2—300.

lime of game, one hour and sixteeu minutes.
Masse shots — Shaeffer, 16; Daly, 2.
Bank shots — Shaeffer, 4; Daly, 2.
Jacob Shaeffer, the winner ot this game, although
generally believed to be an amateur, is by no means
an inexperienced billiard -player, for he was at one
time champion of Indiana. For Home time pnst he
has been in this City, and is at present a oroi6,;e^of
" T;m " Fiynu, who is willing to back him against
any of the well-known professionals. His general
play IS much the same as that of William Sexton,
and his masii6 and other fancy shots are very skill-
folly made.
The game this afternoon will be between Joseph
Dion and Shaeffer ; the flrst game this evening be-
tween Messrs. Garnier and Daly, and the second
between Cyrille Dion and Budolpbe.

statesman is announced in a cable dispatch from
London, where Ire was residing in the character of
Portuguese Ambassador. Joas Carlos, Duke of
Saldauha Oliveira e Daun, was born in Arinhaga,
Kov. 15, 1791. His mother was a daughter of tho
renowned Marquis of Pombal, He received his.
education at the College of Nobles, in Lisbon, and
at the University of Coimbra, and at an early age
entered oflBoial lifa in the Colonial Department
After tho conquest of Portugal by the French, and
the flight to Brazil of the royal family, be remained
In hia native country, submitting himself to the
French rule. He was made aprisoner by tho English
during the PeninSnlar campaign of Wellington, in
1810, and was sent to England, whence he was soon
afterward permitted to leave for Brazil. He
served in the Brazilian Army with distinction, and
was intrusted with various diplomatic mis-
sions. He returned to Portugal on the ro-
estahiishmont «f tbe constitutional Government,
and was appointed by the King, John VI., in
1825, Minister of Foreign Affairs. On the
death of the King and daring the regency of the In-
fanta Isabella, (1826,) be was made Govemorof Opor-
to, and manifested groat energy in suppressing the
first attempts to overturn the regency by Dom Mig.
uel, who was acting under the inspiration of the
Dovtager Queen. On accoant of a olsagreement
with the chief of the Administration, he resigned
and went to England. , During the sub-
sequent usurpation of the regency by Dom Miguel,
he returned to Portugal and placed himself at the
head of a liberal revolt in Oporto, and sought an
opportunity for a decisive engagement with the
usurper. By the desertion of his forces, however,
he was compelled to fly to England, whence he
passed into France, where he formed a warm friend-
ship for Gen. Lafayette, (1828.) He organized
a relief force forthe insurgents against Dora .v'iiuel
unoer tbe Duke of Teiceirs, which 8ai;eain 1829 tor
Portugal, bnt Wiis compelled to return to Frauc.e
bv'an English iquaoiou that opened lire uuoa it.
On account of a misundersiaudiug with Dom Pedro,
^ Gen. SaUianha was omitted from among tlie leaaers of
\the axpeoitiou of 18'J2thatsetoutfrom Bellelsl.', but
the following year ho succeeded in entering Oporto,
/then bljokadeil by Dom Miguel, and was appointed
Generalissimo and Chief ot Statf, and became one • f
the chief advisers of the Kiug, Dom Pedro. He
planneo Rud executed with the Duke ot Terceira
the brilliant campsign which endod in the victori-
ous assault on Linbou, the siege of Santarem, and
thn aiguiutr of the articles at the caniiu-
latlon of Evora, with Dom Miguel, (1834.)
On the resignation of tbe Duke of Tetceua
he succeeded to the chief command of the Army,
with the rank of ilarshal, bat bis political iusta-
bilitv andhis docire to increase his own infiueuco
led bira into tbe Opposition, and ou tbe deieat of
the Ministry he was appointed Minister of War
and President ot tho Council of Ministers.
Disagreement with hia colleagues and tne
uncertain nature of the support he might re-
ceive in the Chamber, led him to resign. After
the revuluiiou of September. 1836, ho took the
leadership of a reactionary
favored bv the Queou, but
even against the Queen's
Das Autos, and .Suldanha
a voluntary exile in England
continueu ten vearH. Tbe terrible revolt of 1846
compt^led the Queen to recall Saldauha. The dic-
tatoiship of Coata-Cabral, and eveu the monarchy
ilsolf, were soriouslv endangered by this strong
movmuent; but the intei-vention of tbe quadruple
alliance enabled Gc.n. Sildanha to form a Ministiy
to his taste, which continued in power from
1847 to 1849, and was succeeded by tho
BLCiind oictaiorsbip of Costa-Cabral. Tho latter,
desiring the support of the sxroar popularity of
SaUianha, tendered him the leadership 01 the Cabi
net, but tne DukS, who could not overcome his aris-
tocratic ho.stiliiy CO tho powerful commoner, refused
tho port-ftfii). and coniiuued to strugjle in the Op-
position, i/is attacKs, which were foiled by U\»
Ministry, au 1 ueatod with something of contempt
by the (jueen, ended in a ruvolution. The support
of the Army and the concurrence of tlio Eut'lish
Government enabled him to effect a coup d itat iu
which Costa-Cabral waa banished, and the Duke
secured control of afl'air.H, which continued for five
years iu lace of many difficulties, and with the tup-
port only of a minority in the Chamber and a regency.
The new King, Dom Pedro II., eniertainod great
resnect for the Cortes, and the recognition nf the
maioritv of that bodv compelled tho Duice of Sal-
movement secretly
it was suppressed,
wishes, by Gen,
waa forced luto
and Franco whico
danha to resign In June, 1856. Soon afterward tho
aged Marshal resigned his command in the Army,
and again took bis plaee In the ranks of the Opposi-
tion, where he continued man.y years. In 1669 he
was sent to Paris as Arabaissador, and during
ministerial crises that tnllowed was frequently
summoned to Lisbon to aid the Government by his
counsel and influence. He again assumed the lead-
ership in the stirring political evontsof his country,
until be became complicated in a military move-
ment, when he resigntd, against the wishes of his
colleagues, and resumed his contests iu the Opposi-
tion in tho Chamber of Peers. Later he was ap-
pointed AmbasHsdor to England, in which service
his eventful lile closed.

AN
INTERESTING EVENT ATPAREN'TLY DE-
PEXDKNT ON THK RESULT OF THE ELEC-
TION—REPORTED ENGAGEMENT OF MR.
TILDEN TO BE MARRIED IN THE WHITE
HOUSK.
Special Dispatch to the New- York Times.
Ithaca, Nov. 21.— A gentleman of standing
and undoubted veracity, recently arrived here Irom
Sap Francisco, baa given currency to the report
that Mr. Tilden, "reform " candidate tor the Presi-
dency, is affianced to Miss Cariie Gwin, a lady
about thirty-flve years of age, and daughter of Duke
Gwin, M. D., formerly a wcalihy land-owner of
Tennessee, United States Senator, Confederate
sympathizer, aud Mexican nobleman, now a resident
of San Fr.anci8co, and au active politician in tho
interest of ibe sham reformer. The engagement was
made at Saratoga during the stay of Mr. Tildeu at
that place in the Summer, and while he was prepar-
ing his now famous letter ot acceptance. The mar-
riage is to be consummated upon Mr. Tildon's ac-
cession to tho Presidential chair. Dr. Gwin, it is
said, is now in Europe awaiting the counting of the
Electoral vote.

LONG ISLAND RAILROAD MANAGEMENT.
To the Editor of the New- York Times :
When the late Oliver Charlick had control
of the Long Island Railroad, tickets for 100 ridea
were issued at such exorbitant rates that many of
the commuters in but moderate circumstances were
obliged to leave the road and take up their resi-
dence in the cities. After tho damage was done, the
grand plan was aboli.ihad only to be renewed by
the Poppenhnsens as lessees, ■who evidently are
losing by the sharp arrangement as many families
who have been accnsiomed to pass ihe Winter in
the several villages along the route of the four rail-
road lines in Queens and Suffolk Counties have
within the past month clOfied up their houses and
gone to reside In Ne^v-Tork and Brootlyn ; and
many more will follow their example before the
new year commences unless the commu-
tation rates are lowered. Since the Winter
time - table went into effect, not a
day baa passed but what the passengers have been
considerably shaken up by tbe careless connecting
ot cars at Fresh Pond and Eookawav junctions
If flying switches were made, the passengers would
esriape the fearful jarring, and less panes of glass"
would be shattered. Again much fault Is found in
the wasting of time taken ta attach and detach lo-
comotives at the junctions named, besides the
greatly decreased rate of speed of the moraing
trains on the Southern branch, and the favoring of
the exceedinjjty few commuters on the Long Island
Bailroad east of Jamaica, by comoelling those on
the Southern line to remain a half hour longer in-
the City after the close of their day's duties. As
this is the age for reform, it is to be hoped that the
Messrs. Poppenhusen will heed the within stated
grievancesof their numerous patrons withont delay.
TRAVELER.
WITHDRAWAL OF ELECTION BETS.
The privilege of withdrawing beta made on
the result of tbe Presidential election, which was
accorded yesterday by John Morriasey to those of
the betting fraternity who bad deposited wagers in
his bands, was taken advantage of by a large num-
ber of betting men. The bets were withdrawn by
the mutual consent of those making them, Mr.
Morrissey in every case being allowed to deduct the
amount of bis commission for holding the stakes.
Mr. Morrissey said last evening that bis action had
been taken with tbe desire of accommodating those
of bis patrons who preferred to caU their wagers
"off" rather than wait for the final annonncoment
of tho result of the election which would decide
whether they had won or lost.

Th« ohooame ot Electors of President and

on the part of the Electors to act, and compensa-
tion at. the rate of- from tbree to five dollars or
mote per day, besides mileage, is awarded to the
Electors who do aot. There are also in many of
the States nnmeroas local statates as to the

those cases in whioh some question has been re

atitationallty of the methods referred to. The pro-
visions of the United States Constitntion, aa

In this State the Sherifl' of each county is the
Eettiruing Officer of snch county, ana appoints, at
least thirty days before an election, Returning
Officers for each precinct in the county. On the Sat-
urday next after ths election, at neon, tbe Return-
ing Officer of the county, in person or by deputy,
andtheProbateJudgeand Clerk of the Circuit C»urt
meetat the conrt-honse. If all are of tbe samepoliti-
cal party, then the Returning Officer of the county
must summon three reputable persons of the on-
posite party to attend. This board makes out a
correct estimate from the returns of the votesi from
the several precincis in his county, of tne whole
number of votes given therein for each office, and
the person to whom such votes were given. la the
case of choosing Electors of President and Vice
President, the board in each county is re-
quired, within five days afier making the esti-
mate of the county vote as above, to return the re-
sult of the same to the Secretary cf State. The
Governor of the State then, within fifteen da.ys after
the time for making the returns by thoReiurniag
Bjards of the counties, must, in the presence of the
Secretary of State, Auditor, and Treasurer, or
either of them in the absence of the
others, astimate the returns, ascertain
who are elected, and notity them by
proclamation- Tf on snch estimate It is found that
an election of the number of Electors te which the
State is entitled is not made, by reason of two or
more persons having received an equal number of

tween those having an equal number ef votes. The

dent and Vice President ; aua those of them present
proceed, by
la not in session, the Gorernor fills tbe vsoansiea.

tested, the matter ia to be decided by the Judges of
the Sbpreme Court of the State.
The canvassing of ballots at the polls ia done by
the Judges of Election, who are to certify the nam-
ber of votes given to each person and the office for
which the rotes were given. This certificatiom is

holdera id making the county canyass.

Irregular, false, or fraudulenr, that the board is
unable to determine the true vote for an officer, they
sb certify, and do not include such returns In their
aeiermiBation and declaration.

ment until it is completed. The votes are first
counted, and in case the numbsr of ballots exceeds
the nnmjer of voters, the ballots are replaced in

LOUISIANA.
The legislation of Louisiana on thesubjeet of the
polling, returning, and canvassing of votes, having
called forth so much comment recently, a fuller
Bceonut of the Election laws of that State
■ay not be, perhaps, oat ef place. The great
statute on the subject which has superseded the for-
mer law la the one passed Nov. 20, 1872, as amended
in Februwy, lb73. It is entitled, "An aot to rejru-
late the eondnct and to maintain the freedom and
purity of elections; to prescribe the mode of mak-
ing retnrns thereof; to prey ide for the election of
Returning Officers, and denning their powers ana
dutiea ; to prescribe the mode of entering on the
rolls of the Senate and House, of Representafivop,
and te enforce article 103 of the Constitntion." The
article in the Constitution thus referred to, reads
as tollsws:
"The privilege of free suffrage shall be supported
by laws regulatinz elections, and prohibiting, under
adequate penalties, all undue influence thereon
from power, bribery, tumult, or other improper
practice."
The aot provides that each parish in the Stato,
except the Parishes of Orleans and Jcffetaon, shall
be an election precinct. Tbe Assistant Snpervisor
of Registration is to direct what namber of polls
shall be established in each precinct, to fiux the
place of holding tbe election, and to appoint Com-
missioners of Election for each poll or voting place.
For the Parish of Orleans, eaoh ward in the City of
New-Orleansis to constitute an eleotion ptecinct, and
tbe Slate Supervisor of Rsgistration is to fix the
voting places ia each precinct, and appoint Commis-
sioners <if Election for each poll or voting place.
For the Parish of Jeflferson, thvre are to be two
election preciuis, one on each side of the ilisaissip-
pi River, tbe preeinct on each side embracing that
portion of the p.\rish on tbe same side of the river.
The Aa.dstant Supervisor of Ragistration for tho
Parish of Jefferson is to fix the number of voting
places, and appoint the Commis^eners of Elec-
tion. There is to be at least one voting precinct
far every parish, except tbe parish of Orleans, in
whien there is to be one voting precinct for every
Justiceufthe Peace ward. The electiosa at votiigor
polling places are to be presided over by tbree Com-
missioners of Election, residents of the "parish for at
least twelve months next preceding the day of elec-
tion. It 18 the daty of tbs CommiBsioners of Election j
to receive the ball iits if all legal voters who sball
offer 10 vote, and to deposit the same in the ballot-
box, " in tbe fall and convenient view of the voter
himself." A voter has, however, the right to de-
posit bis vote in the ballot-box with bis own band,
oat no private person is allowed to take a ballot
trom a votor in order to put into a oallot-bux. The
Commissioners of E eciion, at each poll or voting
place, are required te keep a list of tbe names of tne
persons voting at snch poll or voting place. The list is
to be numbered from one to the end and is to be
sworn to as correct by the Commissioners imme-
diately on tho closing Of the pollj, before they
leave the place and befare the opening of tbo ballot-
box! The votes aro to be counted by the Commis-
sioners at each voting place immediately afier < los-
ing the eleotion aud without moving the boxes from
tho place where tbe votes were received, " and the
counting must be dene in the presence of any by-
stander or citizen who may be nresent." Tally lists
are kept of the eounr, and after the count, the
uallols aie put back in tbe box and preserved
until af.er tho next term of tho criminal or district
court, as tbe ease may be. In all tbe parishes ex-
cept that cf Orlsan?, the Commiisioners of Election,
or any one ot tnem selected for that purpose, are or
is to carry the box aud deliver it to the Clerk of the
District Cotirt, who is to preserve It. In the Parish
of Orleans, the box is to be delivered to the Clerk of
the First District Coart. Tne Commissioners of
Election, in eouuting the votes polled, make alistof
tbe names of tbe ueraons voted for, the offices for
which they were voted for, the number ot votes
received by eaeb, the namber of ballots in
the box, ana the number rejected, with tbe
reaaona therefor. DupLcatea of snch lists are
then made out and signed ana sworn to by
the CommisBiuners of Election of each poll.
One of thess duplieate lists is to be delivered te the
Supervisor of Registration of the parish and one. to
tho Clerk of th* District Court of the parish, and,
in the Parish of Orleans, to tbe Stcretary of State,
by one or all tne Commissioners in person, within
twonty-fuar hours after tbe. closing of the polls. It
is the duty of the Supervisors of Registration,
witnin twenty-tour hours after tbe receipt of^all the
returns from the difl'sreut polling places, to con-
solidate sueta returns, to be certified as correct by
tbe Clerk ef the Distriei Court, and forward tbe
consolidated returns with tbe originals received by
him to the Rsturning Officers, who are referred to
se.ow. The report anil re. urns are te be Inclosed
in an envelope of strong paper or .cloth, securely
sealed, and forwarded by mail. The Supervisors
are also te forward any statement as to violence or
disturbaape, binbery or corruption, orotberotteuses,
as will aiwear below, together with all meaaoranda
and lally'li^t^ used iu making the count and state-
ment or tho votes.
The matter ol intimidation is provided for in sec-
tion 26 of the act, which is as follows :
Be it further enacted, <£c., Tuac in any pariah,
precinct, ward, city, or town in which during the
time of registration or revision ef registration, or on
any da.y of election, there shall be any not, tumult,
acts of violence, intimidation, and disturbance,

said parish, or at or near any poll or voting place,
or place of registration or revision of registration,
which riot, tumalt, acts of violence, intimidation
and distaroauce, bribery or corrupt influences shall
prevent, or tend to prevent, a fair, free, peaceable,
and full vote of all the qualified electors of said
parish, precinct, ward, city, or town, it shall he the
duty of tbo Commissioners of Eli-ctioa, if such riot,
tamult, acta of viilsnce, intimidation, and disturb-
auee, oribery or corrupt inflaences occur on the dav
of election, or of the supervi.ion of registration of
the parish, if they occur during tbe time of regis-
tration er revision of registration, to mak^ in du-
plicate and uauer oath a clear and full statement ot
all the facts relating thereto, and of me eflVct pro-
duced by such not, tumult, acta of violence, intimi-

he shall forward it in duplicate to the Supervisor
of Registration of the parish — if in the City of New-
Orleans to the Secretary of State — uue copy of

shall be forwarded by him to tbe Keturuing Officers
provided for in section 2 of this act, wuen be
makes the returns of electiou in bis parish. His
copy of aaid statement shall be so annexed to his

j .. ~l II .4..1i..nn ... .Un 1 ^ I .i-H ir n f .1... <*.......- .. t-*
all other voting plaoee shall have been eanrassed
and compiled. The Returning Oflloera shall then pro-
oeed to investigate the statements of rip r, tnmult,
acts of violence, intimidation, armed disturbance,
bribery, or corrupt influences at any snch poll or
voting place; and if, from the evidence of
snch fiUtemont they shall be convinced that
such riot, tumult, acts of violence, intimidatioa,
armed disturbance, bribery or corrupt innuences
aid not materially interfere with the pnrlty and
fieedom ot tbe election at such poll or voting place,
or did not prevent a sufficient number of quabfted
voters thereat from registering or voting to ma-
terially ehange the roauU of the election, then, and
not otherwise, said Returning Officers-shall canvass
and compile tbe rote of such poll or voting place
with thoao previonaly canvassed and compiled; but
If said Returning Offleers shaU not be fulfv satisfied
thereof, it shall be their duty to examine further
testimsnv in regard thereto, and to this ead they
shall have power to send for persona and papers,
J/, after snoh examination, the said Returning
Omcera shall be convinced that said riot, tumult,

terfeie with tbe puiity aad freedom of the
election at aucb poll or voting-vlice, or did prevent
a aufficient number of the quslifled electors thereat
from regiitericg or veting to materially change the
result of the eleotion, then the said Retaming
Officers shall not canvass or compile tbe statenient
of the votes ef anoh poll or voting-place, but shall
exclnde it from tbeir returns ; provided that aay
person interested in aaid election by reason of being
a candidate for office shall be allowed a hearing bo-
fore said Returning Officers upon making appliba-
lioo within the time allowed for tbe f irwaraingof
tbe returns of said election." The import.ince of
making the law cover days of registration as well
as of electioa is obvious, when it is remembered that
registration is an essential prerequisite to voting
throughout the State. The portion of the law of
187-.J in regard te the points above given waa merely
a re-enactment of tbe i^receding legialation on the
samesnbject given in Ray's Digest of 1870. 'There
is no specific provision for the filling of vacancies
among the liilectors, but nnder tbe Constitution the
Governor is given power to fill vacancies with
the advice and consent of the Senate, and
to fill them pro tern, without such eonseut
if tne Senate is not m session at the time.
By an act passed last year the Election laws of
Leuibiana were so changed as to prevMc for the ut-
most fairness in the conoucil'ig of an election. The
act in question ia known as Act No. 7. of Laws < f
1675. By it ev^ry pailsh except Orleans ia made aa
election precinot. In the City of New-
Orleans eaoh ward ia an "election pre-
cinct. Tbe election at each pell or "voting
place mnat be presided over bv three C >mmij8ien-
ers of Election, residents of the paris'i for at least
twelve mouths next preceding tbe day of election.
These Commissioners must be selected from dif-
ferent political parties and be of good standing in
the party to whiah they beloag. Before entering
•n tbtir duties they are obliged to take and sub-
scribe tne oath prescribed for1State«offioer8.
MAINE.
In the State of Maine the Clerk of each town or
ward forwards tbe retnans for Presidentml Electors
to the Secretary of State on or before the second

Tdesdat, Nov. 21.— P. M.
The course of apecalation on the Stock
Exchange to-day tvas erratic, ■with alternating
spells of strength and weakness. The strength
was based on the reported probability of an
early termination of the railroad war— the
weakness on the low prices tor coal realized at
the auction sale to-day.
So far as the railrond war is concerned, it
would seem that Mr. Garrett, President of the
Baltimore and Ohio, has taken a position from
whioh he cannot with dignity or consistency
retreat, andit would follow that only by a square
back-down on the part of the Central peoplo
can an accommodation be reached. The Com-
modore is not usually regarded as being made
of yielding s^^, and he has so frequently and
emphatically declared that he will never yield
the point at issue, that hopes of settlement
based on concessions on his part are in all prob-
ability destined to prove fallacious.
In regard to the coal stocks, it is pretty gen-
erally conceded that they have been held up
recently mainly by purchases on account of
the outstanding short interest, and the impres-
sion is very general that when this source of
support is withdrawn a downward movement
in prices will inevitably ensue. Indeed, in
many well-informed quarters the opinion pre-
vails that a revival in the eoal interests is
not to be looked for until such of
the companies as are financially embarrassed
shall have been reorganized. At the auction
sale of the Pennsylvania Company to-day the
prices realized fell below those of the previous
sale nearly twenty per cent., but even at such a
heavy deeline it was found impossible to dis-
pose of the entire quantity offered, and 30,000
tons had to be withdrawn, a fact, to say the
least, the very reverse ot encouraging to the
Delaware Lackawanna and Western Company,
whose sale takes place to-morrow.
The entire business for the day footed up
144,800 shares, which embraced 57,800 Lake
Shore, 18,800 Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, 16,200 Michigan Central. 13,700 St.
Paul, 5,900 Western Union, and 5,700 Ohio
and Mississippi. Lake Shore opened at57V&,
advanced to 58%, receded to 57%, and closed
at 58V4. The favorable financial exhibit of
the North-western Company and the
belief that the road is doing a
remunerative business tends to impart
strength to the shares. The com mon to-day
rose to 36 and the preferred tp 59V&, with clos-
ing transactions at a decline of only \k ^ cent.
Irom the highest point. The St. Paul shares
were firmer, the common rising frpnt 19^ to
20'>4, and the preferred from 511.4 to 52%, leav-
ing off at the best figuras. Michigan Central
advanced from 42% to 44%, and closed at 44.
C, C, C. and I. fell off from 36 to 35V<2, rose to
39, and closed at 38^!. Illinois Central de-
clined from 70 to 67%, and recovered to 691,4.
Union Pacific lell off from 59% to 59, with tho
latest sales at 59^4. Western Union was dull,
ranging between 71 % and 72%, and closing at
72Vi.
The eoal stocks were weak m the early deal-
ings, under the influence of the low prices real-
ized at the auction sal^ but subsequently im-
proved m sympathy with the general list, clos-
ing, however, at some reaction from the high-
est point. New-Jersey Central fell off from
33% to 32^2, and closed at 33. Delaware, Lack-
awanna and Western declined to GS'jfe, rose to
69, reacted to GS^i, and closed at 68%. Sales
of Morris and Essex were made at 90% down
to 90. Delaware and Hudson advanced from
67 V4 to 69, with a reaction in the late dealings
to 68 V4.
Among investment shares. New- York Cen-
tral advanced from 101% to 102%, and Eocfc
Island from 98% to 99 V4.
The money market was without essential
change, the majority of transactions being at
3@4 ^ cent, with exceptions as low as 3, and
as high as 5 ^j*" cent. Prime mercantile paper
was quoted at 4 to 6 ^ cent., according to the
date of maturity. The national bank notes
received at Washington for redemption to-day
amounted to $300,000. The rates ot exchange
on New- York at the undermentioned cities to-
day were : Savannah, V4 off; Charleston, easy,
5-16 to par; Cincinnati, dull, 100 discount;
St. Louis, 100 discount ; New-Orleans, consols,
i^@9-16; bank, V4, and Chicago, 25 premium.
The foreign advices reported the London
market on the whole firm. Consols closed ac
95%®95M8, against 95V4 ®95% yesterday, after
advancing to 95 Vi -2195%, both for money and
the account. United States bonds were un-
changed, except for 1865s, (old,) which im-
proved \'i ¥ cent, selling at lOS^-SlOSMz ;
18678 closed at 108%, 10-403 at 107%, and new
5s at 1057,^. Erie ruled steady at 9V<j®9% for
the common, and at 17 for the preferred. The
withdrawals of specie from the Bank of Eng-
land, partly for shipment to this country, con-
tinue, and to-day the additional amount of
£174,000 was taken, out ou balance. At Pai-is
rentes closed at 104f, 40c., as against I04f. 7^740.
yesterday.
The sterling exckaugo n^arket was quiet at
$4 81%®$4 82 for bankers' sixty-day bills, and
at $4 83%®$4 84 tor demand, the nomiual rales
Deing unohauged at $4 &iM and $4 81V4. Com-
mercial bills sell at about H S0?!>$4 81.
The gold speculation was dull early in the
day at 109%, the mrrket having been unafieot-
ed by the announcement of the arrival of
£380.000 sold ooia b;v the ateam-ahiQ Ituasia
V4 ® ^fe F cent, in Mil-
Cohsolidated Sinking
from Liverpool, . to-day. Sab8equently,| bow-
ever, a weaker tone prevailed, and the price
declined to 109\4,in consequence efthe reported
pacific assurances forwarded to the Queen of
England by the Czar of Russia. The flual sales
were at 109%. Cash gold was in good supply
and loaned at 1 to 3 #■ cent, for carrying.
Government bonds were firm, with a further
slight improvement in a few instances. New
1865s, coupons, advanced to 113i*, and 18678,
coupons, to llGiiS. The demand for investment
has been on a more liberal scale during the
past few days, and prices lor the moment tend
in an upward direction. In railroad mortgages
there was an advance of
waukee and St. Paul
Funds, Union Pacific Land Grants, and Hanm
bal and St. Joseph Convertibles. Chicago and
North-western Censolidated gold coupons de-
clined to 94%, and closed at 95. Ohio and Mis-
sissippi Seconds fell off to 42%, and afterward
rose to 43i!4. State bonds were quiet and firm.
Georgia 7s, new, sold at 107, and Missouri long
68 at 105. District of Columbia 3.658 advanced
to 69.
The Committee of Pureliase and Eearganiza-
tion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Bailroad pro-
pose to apply for a decree of sale during the
present terms of the courts of Virginia and
West Virgmia, and the bondholders are re-
quested to deposit tjieir bonds with the Cen-
tral Trust Company promptly in erder to se-
cure an early reorganization. Already about
$17,000,000 of the bonds have been deposited,
out of a total of $27,112,000, being a majority
of both classes, and representing between 800
and 900 bondholders. *

York for the week ending this date were $5,-

PLAlNTIFi"— HKR ALLEGED i SEDUCTION
BY THE DEFENDANT,
; The trial of tho celebrated breaoh of promise
Sse of Martiuex against Del Valle was reaamed in
e Soprame Court yeaterday morninr, beforo
kTndge Dooohae. Xbe fair pl&lodff and ber sister,
kAdels, were present, and ooonpied seats near their
eoonsel, Messrs. Baach and Brown, The defendant,
Jaan Del Yalle, was aooompanied ^y his legal ad-
viser, Mr. Joseph IL Choate, and seTeral friends.
The Bar and the outside publio were well repre-
■otted. ex-Jodj^e Pnllerton, Counselor Hill, Con-
ItreMman B. A. Willis, and others, beine present.
A larso sprinkling of Spainards and Cubans was
also noticeable, Promptlj at 10:30 o'clock,
iJadxe Donofane took his seat oa the i bench and the
trial b«gaD.
THB OSS'BiaXOT'a CROSS-EXAMINATION BESITMEO.
Ibe-oroBs-«xamiaation of Del Yalle was resumed
bf Mr. Beach, the defendant testifTintcas follows;
On theS28^ of April I sent the plaintiff $50 in bills;
X sent the moner lo the Hotel Boyal by a messen-
Iter; I renonstrated with the plaintiff at Pough-
keepaie eonesTMlni; her horseback ndlniir; I do not
(•member when the side-saddle was broaeht to the
liouae; I am told that she continued those rides
after IhadreinoBatrated with her, and dormtr my
kbaenee in. Saratoga; the oonversation eoaoernlng
the Beraid adTertlsoisaent took place in the library;
1 told her I had disco vered that her real name was
not Hanriquez, aacl that her family anteeadents
were detestable; I hitd also ascertained that her
itep-father was liring irregularly with her mother ;
tbla aooyeniation waa^oa the atternoon of the 11th
\af Aairust.
' Q. — During tha time the plaintiff was at Pongh-
keepsie was there ever au Improper or indelloale
iact OD her part t A. — There was not.
Q.— Did ake ever use t any indelicate language to
yout A. — ^Kyerer.
Q.— Did she .eTer eommitany indelicate act in your
jtreseace at any time I A. — I noticed same thiags I
ihonght unbecoming in a young lady.
Q.— What wero they t A.— At times the would
•how her lega.
' Q. — When did yov see her do this t A — From
the 30tb to the 24th of June, in Poughke^psie; she
,Nronld show her legs in the passageway wben I
weatby; her posture was very improper and na-
ladylike; I also tnought it wrong for ber to sleep
With the door open; T cannot illustrate her pos-
tures; she would also show her legs when sitting
OB the floor and lying on the grass.
Mr. Beach, (sternly)— Now air, I ask yon again,
did you erer see the plaintiff Immodestly exhibit
lier peiBOn t
Witnen, (defiantly)— I sftidi so before, and I re-
peat it.
Q. — Where t A.— In ■. my house, and in the
gonads around my house.
During the giying of thia testimony Miss Mar-
tmea looked somewhat flivshed, but eyed tne wit-
ness with an unfiinchiug gazs. Del Va^e con tin-
ned: I have seen her sitting down and showing
herlegs,in aeademio pastxtres, both in my house
and on the grounds in front of it. (Slight laughter
followed this utterance, which was promptly re-
buked by the court.)
" Q. — What were you doinz during the time f A. —
I was playing with my children and looking on ;
[Laughter;] I do not remember saying anything
to her about it at the time; on the 24th of June
fiibowiDg, I called her attentioa to it; I remember
that day beeanse I regard it as mr birth day : it is
the dav of St. John the Baotist, my patron taint ;
"When I spoke to ber about sleeping with her door
open, she Raid : ''I do not see why you should be
aftnid ef sleeping with me."
Q. — Do you not call that immodest languaee ?
A-— I did not think it particalarly immodest in a
^oong-gul unused to the world; I thought it in-
. discreet, bat not positively bad ; this occurred
about tbe 12th of June; I do not know the names '
of the servants at Saiari's, because I do not need
'them ; I belieyel haye seme recollection of one of
.them. Michael Kyer : I hare visited Solari's with
trapectable single ladies prior to January, lg75.
Q.— Can you give the names of any of these la-
dies t
Mr. Choate hoped the counsel weald not Insist on
dnwging innocent third personu into tbe case.
Mr. Beach answered that he was all discretion,
nnd would oonduct Itia oross-examination with
proper tact.
Q. — Can yoa name any of these ladies ! A. — I
can, bnt I will not; I had private rooms with some
of them; one was a sinffle ladv; she lived with her
family, and obtained her mother's permission to so
Vritb me.
BE-DIBECT EXAUIKATION OF DEL VALLE.
' ICr. Choate here resumed tho direct examination
■if the witness, who teetl&ed that he had received
altogether about fifty letters from the plaintiff.
Q.-^Were you Over in .the habit of klaaine the
plaintiff while at Solari's f A.— Never ; ner while at
any other place t there never was any talk of love be-
tween US; the fnmiture in the private room ac
Solari's consisted of two chairs, a labia for lancta,
and a small table; I did not say yesterday that the
plaintifTs age was forty-two ; when the censua-
Caker eame to mv honse at Pongbkeepsle, he asked
asked her age. and she replied forty-two.
KB-CB088-EXAMIirATION.
ICri Beach — Who were present wben she gave her
age as forty-two f
A. — SeyeM members of the family; she seemed
to say it iii jest, 'more than anytning else ; I did
not think it proper for tbe'plaintiff t« give me les-
sons ln'.£nglish at my bouse in If ew-Tork ; there
iraa no difficulty .or inconvenience about it; bnt I
4iA not*want people to see a young girl coming coa-
atantly to my residence ; it was for these
reasons 'that 1 preferred to take my lea-
sons from ber at Solaris' ; I tboueiht
the servioe I bad rendered her_was an act worthy
of appreciation, bnt not au unreqaitable one; what
I did was merely to raise her up to brush tbe
oust tnmi her clothes and to soil my iiands in so
doing.
At this point the long cross-examination con-
eluded, and Mr. Del Yalle left tbe ^ritness stand
with au expression of relief. His bearing throngh-
oat was tbroaeliiy self-posaessed. and .jiutitled the
rumor tnat bas been current about bim, that he
^ was once a judge lu bis native land.
WHAT A HALL-BOY SAW.
The next witness was WlUiam H. Glennen, a
tall, oily-looking youth of nineteen, who gave bis
answers in a low tone, and seemed decidedly em-
barrassed by the novelty of his position. His testi-
mony was as fullows : I reside at Ko. 179 Sallivan
street; Ihave been employed aa ball-bo.y and waiter
at various hotels and restaurants ; in 1873 I was
elevator-man at tbe Hotel Boyal from loe 31it of
April to the lat of July; I nave seen this lady [in-
(li<»ting the plaiatiffj before ; she waa tben board-
inc at tbe hotel under tbe name of Misa Livingston;
her room was No. 99 on tbe fourth floor ; one day in
M:«y, 1875, I went to ber room to take no a parcel
tbiit/ had been left for ber at the deak ; the dour
of No. 93. was locked, and when the plaintiff un-
locked it I saw a yoaugman named Frederick Ham-
mond seated ou the elae of the bed ; tbe plaintiff
wa4 attired in a loose wrapper.
Here tbe directexaminaiioii concluded, and the wit-
ness made a motion to leave tbe stand, but was aireat-
ed by Mr. Beach, who said, "Not so fast, my young
friend; I would imti to asfa. yuu a tew questioua be-
lore you. BO." The witness waa then put thrdngb a
: rigid cross-examination aa to bia biatorv and
> whereabouts, botn before and after his coouecciou
with the Hotel Hoyal, but without sbalcine bim in
any material point. The scene in the i>latutiff's
room was tben recarred to, and Mr. Beacb aaked
him if be was positive tfadt il was in May. The
witness said that he vi^b.
Q. — In wbat part of the honse was the plaintiff's
room) A. — On the fourth floor on tbe Fortietn
sut'essiae; the Hotel Royal is at the corner of
^ Sixth avenue and ii'ortieth atreoc, and the pXaintiif'it
room was on the north side, Irontliie on tne par It ;
the package which I carried up, to her was a amail
one, done up in biowu paper ; there was no stamp
of aii.v kind on it ; it waa about 5 or 5:30 o cluck
wnen I tooa the parcel up; I met no one either ko-
Ing up or coming dcvn ; the bed was opuosite the
door; it had sort of a tircular fuot-board, which
waa not aa high as the head-ooard ; the plaintiff
opened tne door about two and a half feet, and
through tbe openiug I saw Mr. H^umoud aittiug
on ■ be bed; the door opened to the eait, and the
bed wa» to tbe east; Hammond was a clerk nt tbe
boiel when I went there, but afterwartt became a
guest; I was engaged at tbe hotel on the 31st of
Apiil; I remember tbe date distinctly because I
nut it down in my acoouut-book ; I have apokun to
no one coDcerniu£ this case exaopt Mr. Del Valle's
iawyers aad Juhn Manuiug. the ha'U-bov.
At this Domt the court took a recess until 1:30
P.M.
Upon the reaasemblinc of the Court, the crosa-
' lamination of tbe witneas was continued. In
aaswer to Mr. Beach's qusiies, he iidmitted that
he bad been discharged from tbe Hotel Koyal lor
neeJeol of duty. He had aever goue by any other
name, however, and oad never been indicted or
13. arresied. He was never before the Court of Gen-
eral Bsssionsoria a Police atation. On the re-direct
examination by Mr. Choate. the witneaa corrected
his statement about being eng^ed at tbe Hotel
ItoyBl on the 31st of Apnl, by saying that it was on
the last day of April.
WHAT ANOTHBB HALL-BOY SAW.
^^Joha Manning, a flashily-dressed youth of the
r,M« as Olennon. waa next oalled. His testi*
mony was as follows : I live at No. 110 Bast
Thirtieth street; from the 14chof April, 1875, to
the 16th of February, 1876, I was employed at the
Hotel Koyal ; the plaintiff was boarding there at
the time under the name of Miss Livingston ; I be-
lieve sbe came there ou the 28th of April ; I knew
Mr. Frederick Hammond also ; on one occasion I
went te her room with a message for Mr. Ham-
'mond ; she opened the door, and I saw Hammond
sitting on the bed ; tbe plaintiff to'd me that be
would bedowndireoUy; the door of the room was
unlocked when I called.
Mr. Beach cross-examined tbe witness at some
length, but failed to make much out of bim. He
confessed thai he bad been discharged Itom various
hotela, where he had been employed, and, in fact,
from both bia eoiifd3:>ious and thoae of bis comrade,
Glennon, the lifo of the averaee bell-boy would
seem to be a perpetual moving from ane boatelrr to
another. He stuck doggedl.y, however, to the matn
portion of his story, leearuiog the appearance of
Hammond on tbe plaintiff's bed, and only wandered
when the questions of dates, or the succession of
bis innumerable places of employment, presented
themselves. Mr. Beach gave him np, finally, in
diapair, and tbe name of Celia Kainbow was called.
Tms witness, who il a domestic in the employ of
the defendant, gave her testimony in an intelligent
and straightforward manner, though not always to
tbe satistaccion of the connael for the plaintiff. The
following is her evidence:
CELIA BAISBOW'8 TBSTIMONT.
I am twenty-three yeara of age, and am a eham-
ber-maid in the family of Mr. Del Valle ; befijro
that I was employed at tbe Clarenden Hotel, in
Saratoga; I was with the family at^Poughkeepsie,
in the Summer of 1873 ; Miss Martinez was intro-
duced to me as house-keeper and governess ; she
seemed very f.'iendly, and took a great deal of in-
terest in me. ; I talked with her frequently in the
library; I was chamber-maid and did sewing, and
sometimes waited on tbe table ; I waited on
the table on the first Sunday morning when
the plain tiff was there. Breakfast was at 11 o'clock.
Mr. Del Valle, Mr. Alvarez, and Miss Henriqnes
(the plaintiff) wei-e pieaeut, together with the chil-
dren ; when I left to go up stairs, the plaintiff was
sitting in the dining-room; I went up to tho plain-
tiff's room to make the bed, &c., and plaintiff came
in and sat down ; sbe chatted with me a long time,
and I sta.yed there for three or four hours — until 4
o'clock 07 balf-past; fit was (luring this time that
the plaintiff a wore that Del Valle entered her room
and accompiisbed her ruin jj Mr. Del Valle did not
come into tbe room at all; 1 tben went to my room
on ,tbe second floor, and staid there until tbe
famiiy had got chrou^b dinner ; they dined at about
5 o'clock. Tbe plaintiQ, aeon after ber arrival,
wanted a side-saddle, and iiouchtone in Poughkeep-
eio ; one day she asked Mt. Del Valle for money to
pay ber car-fare to New-Tork ; Mr. Del Valle lold
her that sbe would not need any money, as he was
eoing down himself and would take her home to
ber motber ; sue begged him not to do so, and said
if be did, her father would kiU her ; I brought $500
with me to Saratoga to pay bills of vailoas kinds,
including the plaintiff's salary ; the amount was
in $100 billa ; I told her it was daiigerons to send
moueyin letters, and she said sbe bad often done it
before with safety ; at Pouihkeepsie, ^ Mr.
Del Valle treated ' the plainliff exactly like
bis other servants ; I was in her room every day
and every evening, except when her mother was
there.
On the oross-sxamination by Mr. Beach, the wit-
ness testified : Previous to being emploved by Mr.
DelVaUe I waa at the Clarendon Hotel: I was there
three seasons ; I left Saratoga at tbe last of Septem-
ber, two years and one month ago; I speak Spanish
well enoufeh to beuaderslood; my wages at Mr.
Del Valle'a are $20 per month ; lam chamber-maid
and waitress; the famil.y do not usually attend
church ; sometimes the children eo with tlic nurse ;
when in Mi^s Henriaue'a (tbe plaintiff's) room ou
tbe Sunday morning in question, I talked with her
about various matters and looked over her dresses ;
her trunk was fall ; I cannot remember what took
place the Saturday before or tbe Monday afier ; I
remember the Friday preceding ; \t was ootuousnal
for me to band Mr. I>el Valle cigars ; after going to
my own room, I read a story-book from the library;
ou the Snnday morning in question, I rose at 7:30;
I saw Miss Henriques down ataira. Here followed
a long and tedious oross-exami Ballon into the do-
mestic affairs of the household, without eliciting
anything ef interest.
The witness continued : The plaintiff asked
Freligh, the eoachman, tor a aide-saddle, but there
was nena in the barn, anu she had to purchase one
in Ponghkeepsie; she told me, if Mr. Del Valle
asked me where sbe got it, to toll bim that her
mother had sent it to ber.
At 3:30 P. M., the case was adioumed until 10:30
o'clock this morning.
MARRIAGE OF MR. JOHN KELLY.
THE TAMMANY "BOSS" MARRIED BY CARDI-
NAL M'CLOSKKY to MIS3 ANNA MULLEN.
Mr. John Kelly was married, yesterday, to
Miss Anna Teresa Mullen, by Cardinal McCloakey.
The affair was private, and took place in the Arch-
iepiscopal mansion. The only persons present
were the i;clative8 of tbe brinegroom and bride,
and a few of the intimate friends of the former.
The bndal party arrived at the Cardinal's residence,
at Madison avenue and Thirty-sixth street,
skortly before 8 o'clock A. M. The
ladies of the party were the bride and her
sisters, Mrs. Y. T>. Cleary, and Mias Mary Mullen,
and Miss Kelly, a niece of the bridegroom. With
Mr. Kelly were Mr. Edward L. Donnelly,
CcL George W. Wiagate, Mr. F. D. Cleary, and
his nephew. Vicar General Qiiiiin, Father Far-
ley, the Cardinal's Secretary ; Father Deal.v, S. J.,
of St. Francis Xavier's Chnrch, and Father Clowry,
of St. Gabriel's Church, attended Cardinal Mc.
Closkey, and met tbe bridal partv on tneir arrival-
The ladies were all plainly attired, the bride wear-
ing a dark dress and a hat suited to traveling.
After a short delay in the parlors of the Arobi-

THE HEMPSTEAD RESERVOIR SUIT.
The trial of the suit of Kingaley aud Keeney
against the City of Brooklyn to recover $178,000 for
work alleged to have been done on the Hempstead
Reserveii-, was continued yesterday before tbe
Kkfereea appointed by the Supreme Court. A
large amount of documentary evidence was put in
by both sides, after which Mr. Parsons, tor tbe de-
fense, renewed bis moiion fjr a nonsuit. He said
that when the motion for a uuusuit waa first made,
it appeared that the plaintiffs had noi; made out a
caae. It appeared now that the plaintiffs
had no caae. He claimed that the plaintiffs were
overpaid for tbe work done, and that the appropria-
tion having, been exhauaied by their illegal acts,
the.v were not only not entitled to any money, but
liable fjr the money already received. Couuael con-
tended that the plans were changed afier tbe speci-
flcations had goue into the bands of the peraons
who took the contract, and were 6banged solely for
the purpose of putting moaey into the bands of the
conlractor.f. Tne plan was ao altered that the
contract became one for mere excavation, which
Waa only to be couolnded when the aiipiopriation
of *1, 400,000 was exhausted. Tbe Chief Engineer.

Mr. Parsons concluded his argument aa toll:>wa:
''We aslE foranousuitou tiu grounds ibat tbe nlain-
titfa are not enlilled to au.y money under any con-
tract, and supposing thoy have a valid contract, they
have been vaally overpaid ror the work they have
done. If ther» be a, coutract, as they cl.iitu, then,
even allowing them the $163 000 which tbdy claim,
you must deduct from tbe wui.lu amount paid them
ihe sum ot $330,000 tor work which was uot author-
ized by the coutiact, and it will oe touud that they,
are largely in debt to the city. Tiie appropnaliou

plaintiffs, contended that it wa.s a fallacy to
suppose that tbe f>ct of the appropriation having
become exbausied was an anwwer to the cuniractor'a
demand for ma lawtul comoeiisalion. Ue claimed
that tbe aopvoprialion waa logall.y exhausted when

LOCAL MISCELLANY.
A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
THE UNFORTUNATE CAREER OF A YOUNG
ENGLISH WOMAN — SHE, BECOMES A
THIEF" TO SUPPLY A BRUTE WITH
WHISEY— HER ..TASK-MASTER SBNT TO
PRISON FOR FIVE YEARS.
A case of extraordinary interest, containing
all the elements of an absorbing romance, was
brought to trial' by Assistant District Attorney
Horase Bussell, yesterday.inPart U. of the Court of
General Sessions. It appears that about three years
ago a young woman of refinement and many per-
sonal attractions, the pride of a fahiily of high
social standing in Sngland, came to this country to
join a man named Seynolds, with whom she had
become infatuated, and who had induced her to
leave her home. It appears that this Beynolds was
the illegitimate son of an English nobleman, who
had married one of bis father's servants, and was
forced to quit his old haunts by reason of having
.forged tbe parental name pretty extensively in
order to obtain money. Ito.ynolds and the lady
referred to lived together in poverty in this City
until tbe arrival of the wife and children of tbe
former, who had heard of his whereabouts and- fol-
lowed him. Tbe appearance of the family
of Beynolds caused a separation between
him and his victim, and the latter, un-
fortunately for herself fell into tbe power
of one of Reynolds' associates, a worthless fellow
named Henry R. Lewis, who knew- the secret of
her connection with Beynolds, and aaed It to ac-
complish his own base purposes. He was a speci-
men of the dissipated Irish gentleman who had be-
come BO degenerated as to be lost to all ideas of
honor, and had come to this conntry to indulge his
habits in obscurity. He was a man of good appear-
ance, unusual conversational powers, and coDsnm-
mate impudenoe. He had been a Lieutenant in Her
Mi^eaty'e Eleventh Regiment, and spoke frequently
of his acquaintances among the English nobility,
and the immense revenues of his parent's estates
in the County Kildare, Ireland, which were Col-
lected for him by a trustee. His family was one of
tbe oldest in tbe oounty, he explained, his ancestry
extending back in a direct line to tbe ancient Irish
Kings. None of the revenues ef the vast estates of
this soion of nobility found tbeir way to this coun-
try, however, and after exhausting all bis ingenuity
in the effort to obtain food, or what he loved more,
whisky, he spent a season on Ward's Island.
After leaving ibis retreat of fsilen nobility, he
sought out the woman whom his associate Bey-
nolus had ruined, and, takinK advantage ottbe mas-
tery he bad gained over her, persuaded her to allow
himto live with ber. Sbe had obtained employment in
a large manufactory, and ber ladylike manners aud
industrious habits had so commended her to her
employer, that he had invited her to his house, and
sbe became a freqaent and welcome guest of his
family. Lewis, whose appetite for liquor was al-
most insatiable, treated her in a rulfiaul.y manner,
resorting to every means in his power
to compel her to supply bim with money ;
and she, fearful that the secret cf ber miserable
life would be disclosed, was compelled to comply
with his demands. Que of her weekly remunera-
tion of $8 sbe was compeUed to support and clothe
hurselt and give the scoundrel who tyrannized over
her money to procure liquor. He not only beat and
abused her, but actually compelled her to steal
numerous pieces of property from her emplo.yer,
threatening it she reiused to inform bim of her
unfortunate connections with Beynalds RTid him-
self. Sbe finally, under pressure of his threats, con-
sented to steal in order to supply his demands, and
tho system of thieving thus begun was continued
through many months. Tbe stolen property Lewis
(liaposed of at small stores, and spent the proceeds
for whisky ; but not coatent with ' this be
pawned every shred of bis luckless vic-
tim's clothing, aot excepting even her last
article of underwear. His ill-treatment and
peraonal abuse became so unbearable that sbe, on
several occasions, had him taken before a Magis-
trate, anti sent to the Penileniary. At last, she
determined that she would submit to bim no longer,
no matter wbat the consequences might be, where-
upon he ill-treated her again, and was sent back to
his old quarters on the island. It was wliila
nndergoiue this term of continement that Lewis
carried out his oft-repeated . throat of
exposing his victim, and ac.tually did write to her
emploj-er, informing him of her previous sharacter
and denouncing her as a thief. Tne sublect was in-
quired into iuimediateiy, and the wbole matter was
uiscorered. A large quantity of stolen property,
the proceeds of the woman's enforced thefts, were
found in her room, and sbe made a full con-
fession of tbe facts as stated above. The
woman and Lewis were both indicted — she for grand
larceny and he for jeceiving stolen goods, Knowing
them to be stolen. Tbe case was taken iu hand by
Assistant Diatrict Attornev Russell, who investi-
gated it thoroughly, and beeam'e convinced that
Lewis was a scoundrel of the deepest dye, who had
compelled the unfortunate woman to steal in order
to gratify his wiabea. The woman's employer also
became convinced that she was tbe victim of an un-
scrupulous rascal, and still retain ud full confidence
in herintegriiy.
Tbe climax of the romantic story was reached
yesterday, when Lewis, the villain of the plot, was
placed on trial before Judge Sutherland
for receiving stolen goods. Aasistaat Dia-
trict Attorney Russell used tbe woman as a wit-
ness foi tbe prosecution, and her appearance on the
witness stand, as sbe told the tale of her checkered
life, elicited ihe sympathy of hor hearers. She ia
a young woman of prepossessing appearance, aud
gave her evidence with tho air of a lady ol culture
and refinement. She was subjected to a trying
cross-examination by the counsel for tbe defense,
and when closely pressed in relation to her
illicit intercourse with the prisoner aud his com-
panion broke down complelel.y, and was removed
irom the court-room in hysterica. Lewis took the
atan^n hia awn defense, aud admitted having seen
tbcrV^man bring home tbe stolen articles, but de-
nied that he had ever induced or compelled her to
steal them, or that he knew the prop-
erty was stolen. These assertions were re-
peated by h s counsel in an address to the jury.
Aasistant Diatrict Attorney Knssell, in his sum-
mingup addressed to the jury, threw all tbe elo-
quence at his command into the caae, and iu an
argument ot rare a'.iility convinced the Jury that
tbe prisoner was the vile scoundrel' he bad pic-
tured him.
Without a moment's hesitation the Jury found
Lewis guilty oft the charge in the indict-
ment. Judge Sutherland said he was gratified
that the prisoner had been lound guilty, and
that the woman, wboae career had been so aingu-
laily unfortunate, was rid of hini al last. His
Honor tucn sentenced Lewis to the highest penalty
iu his pjwer to inflict — five yeara in the State
Prison, al hard labor. At ibe request of Mr. Rus-
sell, a noUe' prosequi was entered in tbe case of
the woman, whose name and atldres^, and those of
ber employer, have, aa an act of justice to the par-
ties themselves, been withheld.
DAMAGE S¥ THE STORM.
A dispatch was received at the office of tbe
Coast Wreckiag Company yesterday, from South-
ampton, Long Island, stating that the Captain ot
tbe schooner Nellie C. Cook, which went ashore at
Shinnecock on Monday, together with his wife,
child, and crew, had been reacued by Charles White
and bia crew, or Life Saving Station No. 11, in the
Third Long Island DisUict. Tue schooner has a
cargo of salt.
The schooner Noyes, of Newburyport, with a
cargo cf fish, which went auhore en Monday at
Lewes, Del., lies in tbe same po>>ition as when ahe
struck, and wilt probably be got ofi' in calm weather.
A pump on the third floor of No. 131 William
street, having baen inadvertently loft open on Mon-
day night, tbe storm caused an oveiffow which dam-
aged property in the building to the extent of about
twenty thousand dollars. Measra. Qainan &
Float, importers and mauufacturera ot stationery
goodu, estimate tbeir lo8« at from 17,000 to $10,000.
Tbe first and baaement floors, occupied by McFet-
teiB & Co., stationers, lose from $10,000 to $12,000.
Capt. Lock wood, of tbe steamer Cnampion, from
Chariestown, stated last evening that he had amost
tempestuous voyage. The hurrit;ane cangho hitn
when near this port and played sad havoc with the
spars and rigging. Tbe pasaeugera, of whom there
were quite a number, were badly frightened, but
the Captain, atjly aaaisted by his crew, handled the
veaatl skillt'uliv, and aucceedwd m bringinj: her
safely to this port. The cargo, conaistiug of fljur
and general mercnandidu, was slightly damaged.

THE TJNION FERRY COMPANY'S LEAS9S.
A case is on the calendar of tbe Supreme
Court, 'Special Term, m which tho City of New-
York seeks to set aside tbe lease made, when Mr.
A. Oikey Hall was Mayor, with the Union Ferry
Company, which conlrola Fulton, AVall Street,
Hamilton, and South Ferries, giving the corapan.y
tbe exercise of its great franchises at tbe nominal
sum o[ tl per annum, in conaiJeration that the rate
of fare anould be reduced between the hours of 5
and 7:30 A.M. and P. M. fifom two cents to one
oaiit. It. ia nndnrctood that the main ground of the
suitis the claim that a change in the amount paid
annually for a ferry lease caiinot be legally made
without putting the franchise up at auction, to be
sold to the highest bidder giving the required se-
curity. The case has been set down to be tried to-
day before Judge Van Vorst.
THE EXCISE LAWS.
THE COMMISSIONERS IN A POLICE COURT —
A NICK POINT TOUCHING THE LEGAL-
ITY OF EXISTING LICENSES.
.The Exoise Cammissioners were again
brought np before Judge Morgan, ac the Tombs
Police Court yesterday, charged with having
granted a license to Frederic HoUender, of No. 2
Centre street, who was not, it ia alleged, entitled
to sell ales, wlnss, or other Intoxicating liquors, ac-
cording to the Excise laws, as he was not an
hotel, inn, or tavern-keeper. The case is one of
great interest to those holding a license to sell
liquors, granted by the Excise Board, as in case
Judgment is rendered in favor of the plaintiff
all licenses granted by the board, unless the hold-
era are hotel, inn, or tavern-keepers, are illegal and
void. George W. Morton waa the only one of the
Commisaiuuers present, and was represented by
Hon. Dorman B. Eaton and Mr. Dicfendorf. The
plaintiff to the action, Frederic HoUender, was rep-
resented by A. Oakey Hall and William H. Mundy.
Mr. J. C. Childi, the Secretary of the board, was
placed on the stand, and, after being swarn, said :
I recognize the license hero as one of those ipsued
"by the board ; I also recognize the signatures as
those of the members of tbe board-; I signed the
license by order of the board, and delivered it to
Mr. HoUender.
-Mr. HoUender being duly sworn said: This
license was first sent to me ou Oct. 5, 187G ; I am
Pot a hotel, inn, or tavern-keeper, and have no in-
tention of keeping such ; I did not make applica-
tion for said license until forced lo do so by an or-
der from the board, the purport ot which was that
unlrss I immediatelv took- out a license 1 would be
proceeded against according to law; I received no-
tice from the board at my place of business on
Tryon row. The following is a correct copy of the
order sent to Mr. HoUender by tbe Exoise Board :
OrPICB OF THE BoARn OF Excisx, No. 299 Hvh- }
BEHRTKT , NSW-TORK. Oct. 5, 1876. J
Complaint bas benn m»de at this office and evidence
given that you are selling intoxicatiug dqnora without
having procured a license therelor. You are hereb.v
notified that unless you make application to this
board lor a license within — days from receipt of this
notice, proceedings will be taken to enforce the full
penalt.y of the law acrainst you.
-■eASPER C. « HILDS, Clerk ot Board.
To F. Bollender, Ao. '2 Centre street:
Ton wll. call without delay and take out your li-
cense.
On receipt of tJiis notice Mr. Holiender took out
a license under:protesr, and a few weeks after ap-
peared before Judge Morgan at the Tombs, and ap-
plied tor a warrant for the arrest ot the board for
granting an illegal license. It appears from the
allegations upon which the complaint is founded
that the board have granted licenses to persons
wbo are nor, it is said, qualifieo accortiing to law to
sell intoxicating liquors, as the law expreasly states
that such person mnat be a hotel, inn or tavern keep-
er, and that the liceuae must so state. The laws of
1857, chapter 628. and of 1866. oh'apter 578, give the
power to the board to grant licenses only to persons
of good moral character wbo are hotel, inn, or tavern
keepers to aell beer, ale^, wines, and liqKors in
quantities less than five gallons, to be drunk on the
premises. The laws of 1857, section 14, say that
licenses shall not be gran ted, to any one uuleaa such
person or peraons are, or inteud to become, hotel.
Inn, or tavern keepers, and that such license shall
expressly state that such person or persons intends
to become a botel, inn, or tavern keeper. The
laws of 1857. as re-enacted in 1870 and lS73,-"em brace
the wbole of tbe sections ot the laws ot 1857, except
such nortion of them as are inconsistent and con.
flicting.
Mr. A. Oakey Hall held for the plaintiff that he
was not a hotel, inn, or tavern keeper, nor did he
intend to become one, and therefore tbe board had
committed a misdemeanor, and should be h«ld to
answer. Mr. Eaton held that the laws of 1870, as
re-enacted in 187.3, say notbing about hotel, iun, or
tavern keepers, but leave discretion with tbe
Exciae Board to determine the good moral
character of the applicants, aud that the board can
lawfully grant a license to any one to sell beer, ales,
wines, or other liquors in qmntities less than five
gallons, to be drunk on' tbe premises, whether
they are hotel-keepera or not, providing tha. board
are satisfied of tbeir good character.
Jniige Morgan took tbe papers and reserved his
decision.

Joseph F. Warner, the proprietor of the

Hudson County Quarter Sessions of maintaining a
disorderly bouau. At the trial. Chief of Police
Donovan, several officer*, and a number of citizens
testified that the house waa not kept in a disorderly
manner. District Attorney Garrettson. -in sam-
ming UP for the prosecution, produced au old statute
which has never been repealed, and which sets out
with a preamble reciting that "whereas, public
shows and exhibitions of divers kinds nave of la;e
become very frequent and common withal within
this Stale, wherebs' many strangers and worthless
persons have unjua.tly gained and taken to them-
oelves coobiderable sums of money, and it being

tions tend to no good or useful purpose in society,
but, on tbe contrary, to collect together great num-

Camp Robinson, Neb., Oct 84, 1876.
Gbkebal Obdebb, No. 8 : The time havins
arrived when the troops composinc the Big Horn
and Yellow-atone expedition are about to separate,
the Brigadier General commanding addressee him-
self to the officers and men of the command to sav :
In the campaizn now closed he has been oblized
to call upon you for much hard service and many
saerlflces of personal comfort. At times you have
been out of rt-abh ot your base of supplies ; in most
inclement weather yon have marched without food,
and slept without shelter; in your engaicements
you have evinced a high order of discipline
and couraee; in your marches, wonderful
powers of endurance, and in your deprivations and
hardships, patience and fortitude. Indiaa wartaro
is of all warfare tbe most dangerous, the most try-
ing, and the most thankless. Not recognized by the
high authority of the United States Senate as war,
it still possesses fur you tbe disadvantages of civil-
ized warfare, with au ibe borritile accompaniments
that barbarians can invent and savages can execute.
In it you are required to serve without the incen-
tive to promotion or leoognitiou ; in tinth, without
lavor or hope of reward. Tbe people of our sparse-
ly-settled trontier in whose defense this war has
been waged, have but Utile isflaence with the pow-
erful communities in the East; tbeir representa-
tives have little voice in our national councils,
while your savage foes are not only the wards of
the nation, suoportod in idleness, but objects of
sympatb.y with large numbers of people other-
wise well-informed and discerning. You may,
therefore, congratulate yourselves that in the per-
formance ot your military duty yon have been on
the side of tbe weak against the strong, and that
the few people there are on the frontier will re-
member your efforts with gratitude. If In the lo-
ture it should transpire that tne avenues for recog
'hition of dlstingalshed services and c^lant conduct
are opened, those rendered in this ca^>aiEn will be
recommended for suitable reward ; pending this,
the following named officers and men are mentioned
aa carrying on their peraons honorable marks ot
distinction in the severe wounds they have re-
ceived at the hands of the enemy :

The Board •£ Can vassers of Soath Carolina
Aave readered tbe further interference cf
tbe State Supreme Court tmnecessary. They
held a final meetinjc. yesterday, while the
Democratic lawyers were in court asking for
new and various orders, and issued certifi-
oat«|^ ^ election to the Bopublican
Electors, State officers, and to all
members of the Legislature, except to
those claiming to be elected from Edgefield
and Laurens Counties. The Board then ad-
journed me *«, its legal term of life expir-
ing at noon yesterday* The reasons for this
action of the Canvassinit Board are fully ex-
plained in our dispatches. The Legislature,
under these circumstances, will be Re-
publican. It has the counting of
the vote for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor. Wade Hampton, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, has issued a procla-
mation on the subject. The Lbuisiana Re-
turning Board yesterday completed the can-
vass of seven parishes, making sixteen in
aQ on which there was no contest.
Hie aggregate Republican magority they
show amounts to 6,110. This appears to
ooraplete the list of'uncontested returns.
To-day it is probAblct the returns fix)m the
Parish of West Baton Rouge will be taken
up, and with this will begin the
taking of the mass of evidence prepared
on both sides in the contested cases. The
ceeeipt of threatening letters by the board
oontmues as usual, and it is alleged that a
conspiracy has been discovered whereby the
two colored numbers of the board were, for
a consideration, to act in concert with the
Democratio member to be appointed, and
everything was to be done in the interests
of the Democracy. In Florida public atten-
ti<m is wholly concentrated on the proceed-
ings which will take place before Judge
Whtte, of the Circuit' Court, to-dav-
Argument is to be made by able coun-
sel on either side on the orders previously
issued, that the Governor show cause why
he should not be restrained from canvassing
the vote of the State, and on the Board of
Canvassers why they should not at once
eommence the canvass of the vote. No de-
cision, it seem probable, will be reached to-

JSjf Telegraph from our Special Correspondent.
Columbia, Nov. 22. — At the opening of
joort this morning Cbiet Justice Mosea said
that in vie'w of tbe importaTice of a speedy de-
cision of tbe qoeation of who has tbe prima
fiteie right to seats in tbe Legislature, wbicb
oonvenes bere next week, the court bad settled
upon an order to be issued to the Board of
Canvassers, so far as Assemblymen, and Sena-
tors are concerned. Without passint; upon tbe
qi)astton of the judicial powers of tbe board, or
how far tbey had a right to go bebiad tbe re-
turns as forwarded to them, the court bad
concluded to grant a mandamus direeting the
board to certify to the election of such
members of tbe Legislature as they had repre-
sented in their report to the court to have been
elected on tbe face of the returns, leavinc: it to
the Legistature to determine then: right to a
permanent seat m that body. Tbe man-
damus was aooordinglv issued. Gen. Con-
nor, on behalf of th« Democrats, then asked
for an order similar to the second order asked
for yesterday, except that it only applied to
Presidential Electors. It required the board
to go on and compare the returns ot tbe County
Commissioners with those of tbe Managers of
Election ; to note tbe irregularities, discrepan-
ciee, &c., and report the same to court.
Some discussion then ensued as to tbe regularity
of this mode of practice, and the court finally
BUggeated that, in order to avoid all irregu-
Jai-ities, the counsel had better commence
anew if they desired to ask for another
■ mandamus. Th^ was a clear back down
from ye8terda.y'8 decision, when the court
allowed cotiusel to amend the pleadings so as
to get half a dozen difterent judgments on one
application for a mandamus. Counsel adopted
the sugeestion, however, and a recess was taken
to allow tbem to draw up affidavits on which
to base tbe new applicatioa. At the close of
the pecesa tbe affidavits were submitted and
a mandamus prayed for in reference to the re-
turns for Presideutial Electors, as stated above
Tbis being a new proceeding, the couusel on
tbe other side, of course, had to be allowed
time to answer, and the court gave tbem till
Friday moruing, to which time the cooi-t ad-
journed.
Meantime the Board of Canvassers, who held
tbeir sessions at tbe other end of the Capitol,
had taken action which wilt greatly simplify,
^! if it does not render unneoeaaary, any further
proceedings before the court in reference to
(heir powers and duties. The law of South
Carolina, as interpreted by the board
and always acted unon heretofore,
requires the board to complete their work as
Stat;e Canvassers within ten days from the time
they cumiuence their sessions, Sundays except-
ed. The time expired at noon to-dav. Thera
is a difference of opinion among lawyers as to
the true intei-pretation of tbe statutes, but
at all events there is no law, and
has beea no order of the court, requiring tbem
to sit longer than the ten days they have been
aocnatomed to sit. The board, therefore, oom-
plotod its work and adjourned sine die at the
expiration of that time, and is no longer in ox-
'etence.
Before adlouming,. the boat^cerl^ed to tha
i-aU-^ V
election of the Eepublioan Presidential Eleo-
tora, three Eepublioan, and two Democratio
Congressmen, all the Eepublioan State officers,
and all the' Senators and Assemblymen
claimed on either side to be elected,
eioeot five Assemblymen from Edgefield
County and three from Laurens County. Cer-
tificates ot election were issued by the Secre-
tary of State, and are now in the hands
of all of these man, or on their way to them,
having been sent by messengers. All this is
understood to have been done before the man-
damus of the court -was granted to-day. At
any rate it was done betore the writ was served
upon the board. No certificates were issued to
members of either party claiming election from
Edgefield or Laurens Counties.
The effect of this action on the proceedings
now pending before the court will readily be
seen. The attorneys for the board will return
in answer to the application lor man-
damus made to-day that the board no
longer exists, and they are, therefore,
unable to consult with them as to the
truth of affidavits submitted by the re-
lators. The members composing the board
will return that they have performed their func-
tions, adjourned sine die, and ceased to exist.
The question will then arise whether the board
has been euilty of contempt in not certifying
to the election of members from Edgefield and
Laurens. Mr. Akerman is of opinion, and all
Eepublioan lawyerfhere agree with him, that
there can be no contempt, fortwo reaapns : In the
first place the board adjourned bcffore the man-
damtis was served upon them. In the second
place, they will claim that they l^ave done all
the mandamus requires them to do. They
were reqnired in substance to certify
to elections in accordance with the re-
port whieh they mad© to the court.
Now, they expressly stated in that report that
the returns from Edgefield and Laurens are
acco]]|panied by suon evidences of irregularity
and Iraud, that -they are unable to ascer-
tain who has received the highest num-r
ber of votes. In Lanrehs County, for
instance, the returns were accompanied by a
protest of one of the Commissioners, and an
affidavit that he eigiied them under compul-
sion. Whether the intent ot tbe court was
that certificates should be issued by the board
for these counties is not known.
It is said that one of tbe Judges, at least, will
put the same interpretation on the writ which
the board does; but, in any event, the
lawyers say that this defense
is sufficient, if there were
no other,, to prevent the court from declaring
the board in contempt. ' The effect of this ac-
tion of the board will be to throw the organ-
ization of the Legislature into the hands of
the fiepublioans, as in the absence of
tbe eight members from Edgefield and
Laurena, the Assembly will stand 60 Eepubli-
cans to 56 Democrats. The Legislature has
the counting of the voteg for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor, which will enable them
to open up the whole question of fi:aud, intim-
idation, and violence.
The board gives as a reason for their aojoum-
ment sine die to^lay^ fii'st, that the statute, as
they interpret it, feqmred tbem to do so ; and,
second, that if tbey had not done it
the . Democrats might hereafter claim that
they have no power to isaue certificates
because the time for tbem to do it has expired.
In other words, it was done to prevent the pos-
sibilitv of the Democrats gettmg-'any advantage
hersafter on the pretense that the board had
not complied with the law.
W. A. Cook, the eminent lawyer of Washing-
ton, arrived here to-day, and waa in court dur-
ing the proceedings this morning.
A PROCLAMATION FROM WADE HAMPTON —
HE BEGS HIS StTPPORTERS TO CONTINUE
AS PEACE ABLE A^ THEY HAVE BEEN
DURING THE CANVASS THEY MAY
PLACE IMPLICIT CONFIDENCE IN THE
SUPREME COURT.
Columbia, Nov. 22. — Gen. Hampton has just
issued the toUoWing address :
Columbia, S. C, Nov. 22, 1876.
To the People of South Carolina :
The Board of Canvassers have, by their
onprecedontaa action to-day, suown not only
their contempt and defiance of the Su-
preme Court of the State, but their
utter disregard ot their own otHoial integrity^
While the grave a aestiODS determiLiiag the result
of tbe recent election were pending before the
Supreme Court, composed of three Ju Iges
belonging to tbe Republican Party, and in
direct violation of the orders of this tribunal,
tbe',board have issued certificates of olectioa to the
Eepablican Presidential electors, and to the Re-
publican State Offlcera, and have refused to
give certificates to Demooratic members of
the Legislature shown by the return* of
this same board to have been elected in the conn-
ties of Eigefleld and Laurens. This bigh-bandea
outrage Is well calculated to arouse the indlenatlon
of our long-suffaring people ; but I assure them
that this daring and i evolutionary act cf
the ooard can have no legal force what-
ever. I appeal to you, therefore, in the
fullest condJence that the appeal will not
be unheeded, that yon will maiotaiL, even under
that provocation, your character m an
orderly and law-abiding people. Daring
the past exciting canvass vou have stadioasly
avuidecl even the semblance of a purpose to disturb
the public peace or to transgress the law. Your
cause — and it ia the caaso ot tbe ConstitDtional
Groveromeut of the country — has been car-
ried to the highest court of tho State, and we
are willins to abide by its decision, faelins assured
that this tribunal will see that tbe laws shall be
enforced ana justice secured.

lYom an Occasional Oorreipondent.
Columbia, Monday, Nov. 23. 1876.
Notwithstanding tbe provision that no man
shall be deprived of any political privilege enjoyed
by any other man on accoant of "race, color, or
previous condition of aerviiuUe," bv seme tacit un-
acrstaudl g on the part of the manaiiers of elec-
tion, two polling-places were established in the vil-
lage of Edcefleld, one at the Court-bouso, called
No. 1, for the whites ; another at ilacodouia
Cnurcb.on tbe edge •{ the village, professedly for
the colored. The former no colored man attempted
to approach until late in the day. Then, it being
foQLd that, in consequence of the tactics employed
at tbe chnrcb, but a small portion of the colored'
population would be able to vote there, an attempt
was made to vote at No. 1. United States Marshal
Bsiity succeeded in netting six or eight to the box,
but beyond that number 'all efforts were in vain.
Every approach to the Court-house waa cut otF
by horsemen, who formed a cordon across every
path, while crowds of white men packed the
steps and portico of the Court-house buildins, pre-
venting the' approach of any one suspected of Re-
publicanism. Up to nearly ten o'clock, the hun-
dreds of colored voters, waiting to deposit Repub-
lican ballots at poll nuu-ber two, which tbey bad
been made to believe was exclusively their own.
I wers BrA-wontMl frnm even Grettine near the box by
the crowds of white men already In the building
and voting tnere.
Amid all the strife and danger of tbe unequal
contest in which they were compelled lo encase,
hot a gun or pistol was ti^be seeu in tbe hands or
oh tbe persons uf tbe outraged but loofleaMve
blacks. If there was a weapon amona: that surging
mass, it was most skillfully and considerately con-
coaled. A few, it 18 true, had sticks, but beyond
that tbey were as defenceless as the children of a
New- York public school. They neyer gave ex-
pression to a threat, and even desisted, when re-
quested so to do, from indi|lging in a cheer for the
candidates of their choice.
All the previous night thq place was in posses-
sion of a mob cf white men, dancing in the Court-
house and yelling everywhere. Prom daylight
UErillO o'clock the blact men's polling-place, so
called, waa surrounded by at least three hundred
mounted men, some on horses, some on mules,
some with Confederate unif irras trimmed with yel-
low, all with red shirts, and obeying the commands
of "Gren." Gary, who, pistol in hand, veiled his
orders to open or close ranks, advance or retreat,
ae be would have done had he been leading a rebel
reciment against the men of the North in 1861. In
addition to the mounted men there were a large
number dismounted, but all armed, having the same
purpose, and obeying the same orders as tbe mount-
ed force.
At 9:43 o'clock TTnitod States Deputy Marshal
Beaty obtained a company of United Statesinfintry
under tbe command of Cspt. Xe11r»7g, who detailed
a squad of four and afterward eight men, under
Lieut. Hoyt, to open the way to tho poll. This
squad pierced the ranks of the "red.shirts" who
had packed their horses so closely together that the
only approach to tbe windows, back of Which was
the ballot-box, was under the bellies of their beasta.
An alley, however, was made by tbe gallant oflEcor,
9t imminent risk of his life and the livoa of his men.
Over the beads of the little band innumerable pls^
tola were held. Not a man of that drnnten, foul-
mouthed crew but had his pisiol in baud with his
finger on the trigger. Thus eiaht brave men, rep-
resenting the United States, opened and kept open
a narrow pathway along which the poor but un-
daunted negro had tbe dangerous privilege of tun-
ing the gauntlet.
Every black or brown man that essayed to reach
the box through this threatening and furious crowd
was greeted with opprobions epithets, such as only
South Carolinians can utter, and which they in^
tensified by interjecting every variety of rebel yelL
If one unguarded word had fallen from the lips of
a colored man, a scene of carnage would have fol-
lowed fnghtfal to think of. Before the soldiers
came on the ground, several colored men had been
beaten with bludgeons and the butts or pistols.
Their forbearance, however, was beyond all praise.
On r«aching tne box. the fortunate v<h.er found a
white man named Shepard standing guard over it,
who with his tinister eyes endearored to look the
poor negro into such a state of terror tbathe began to
ask himself whether the poor privilege of acting
f jr a few short moments the part of an' Ameiican
citizen was worth the risk he ran. The gauntlet
being eafely run, the colored voter was then " put
through" a long fiivolons catechism— so minute
that at the clo?e of the polls several hundred of tbe
colored Republicans bad failed even to come in sight
of the ballot-box. This was the "Mississippi plan,"
carried to a degi-ee of perfection not excelled even
by VicksbuEg itself.
In the afternoon, the whites having done all the
voting and repeating at Poll No. 1 which was r&.
garded as necessary to accomplish tbeir ends, it
was suggested that the crowd of anxious colored
men at No. 2 should go there tb vote. Some essayed
so to do, but every avenue was so carefully guarded
that nnlees they had crept between the legs of the
horses, they' would have found no way of approach.
In other portions of the district similar and even
worse scenes were enacted. At Coopersville the
managers were assaulted and run off by 12 o'clock.
At another polling placftboih the manager and the
United States Supervisor were put to flight a quar-
ter of an hour before the time for opening the
noils. At another the Democratio manager got ex-
clusive possession of the box, and retained ic long
enough to bring about the curious result of giving
a large Democratio maiority at a poll where ten
black Republicans had voted to one white Demo-
crat. By these, and similar nefanons
ways, the Democrats made a majority
of over 3,000 in a district where
there are not that number of legal voters all told.
It »8 significant of one of the methods employed,
that in the State of Georgia, which this district;
abuts, there were 30.000 less votes csist at this elec-
tion than at ihe last. They were sent Into South
Carolina and Florida. The villainy of which this is
but a poor outline will, I have reason to believe, be
fully established by the reports to be made both by
the United States Marshals and the ofSoers of the
Regular Army on duty at tho various points.

By Telegraph from Our Special Corresvondent.
New-Okleans, Not. 22. — It is now esti-
mated by tbe Democratic Committee here that
the votes lost to the Republican Electoral
ticket by tbe omission of five names Irom the
ballots in three of the parishes will aggre-
gate nearly 2,000. There is no doubt that
many votes were lost in the way indi-
cated, and what disposition the board wiil
make of the incomplete tickets is a question
which promises to give rise to a great deal of
discussion. It must be understood that the
tickets in question are headed as follows :
"For President, Rutherford B. Hayes, of Ohio;
for "Vice President, William A. Wheeler, of
New-Yofk." Then come the names ot all the
Electors at Large, and after them part of the
District Electors. Five names are omitted from
Bome oftbeni, bov.ever, and three names from
others. In every case the names ot the Elec-
tors at Large appear, and each ticket is headed
by the name of the Republican candidates for
Presftlent and Vice President. It is claimed
by many prominent Republicans here that
the vote which was cast for tho Elec-
tors at Largo should also be given to
the District Eleotora wboas names do A)t
appear, as it was clearly the intention of
tbe person casting the biillots to vote for
Hayes and Wheeler for President and "Vico
President. A well-known Louisiana lawyer
contends that even it the five Eiectors referred
to aro defeated by tho means indi-
cated, the three who are elected Would
have power to fill all vacancies ; in
short, that tbe places of those defeated by the
mistake in tho ticket 'should be considered
vacant, and to be filled in tbe same way as in
the case of tbe doatu or resignation of an
Elector. As 1 have already stated, tbe question
will undoubtedly give rise to a protracted dis-
cussion.
During the A&y it has boou repot ted, on what
appears to be good authority, that the reason
for the non-appointment to fill the vacancy on
the Returning Board by appointing a Demo-
crat, as had been contemplated, waa that cer-
tain prominent local Republicans nad un-
earthed a conspiracy entered into between the
Democrats and Casarre and Kenner, the
two colored members of the B»ard.
By the terms of tliits repvited agreement the
members named were to act in concert with
tbe Democrat who should be appointed to fill
the vacancy, and with him count in the whole
Democratio ticket. For this treason to their
party they were to receive $100,000 each. It is
but just to state that Messrs. Packard and
Kellogg disclaim all knowledge of this trans-
action. I mention the report because it is
attracting a great deal of attention here.
Since the Returning Board has commenced
its sessions, Madison Wells, its President, has
been in receipt of numer«u8 letters threatening
the lives of himself and his associates. „.The
following, which was received last evening
and read m tbe executive session to-day, is a
fair sample of these communications :
NEW-TopK, Nov. 18, 1876.
Mr. Maditon WeUs .-
Although a stranger to yon— and God knows I
wish I may always oontiune to be one — I wish to
gay a few words to von and give you a little advice.
If by and through your means and the Board of Re-
turners with which yon are associated, Samuel J.
Tilden should be cheated oHt of ni» legal election— of
which, hero intheN(?rth, there is no earthly doubt —
I would not give the value of a glass of whisky for
your life, for five of us have taken as solemn on oath
as can be taken, and we have sworn to have your
heart's blood in case the farce of counting the votes
is pursued in the manner we see by the papers
yon and the rest of your Radical nigger tools of a
drunken loafer like Grant is here. Sir, look to your
life, and for fear you may think -this is a mere
scare-crow letter, we five are not afraid to sub-
scribe our names, and defy 7on to do your best,
and what is more, we are all American bom.

Thelioard counted seven more parishes to-day,
making a total of sixteen already disposed of.
The return, as far as jhade, shows a Republican
majority of 6,110. It is probable that the con-
tested parish ot West Baton Rouge will be
taken up to-morrow. H. C

against the rules adopted by the board was also filed
by tbe Democratic counsel,
"When the ^oard went into executive session
Gov. R. C. 'Wyckliffe, a Democratio Elector at large,
was excluded from the room, notwithstanding the
fact that he had j esterday received a note inviting

Judge Emmons will appear for the Governor
and the Canvassing Board. The public inter-
est is intense. The knowing ones predict
all sorts of things, but it is plain
that the Governor and Canvassing Board
are masters of the situation in law
and in fact. The Democratio supposition that
Gov. Stearns might attempt something of the
all-hazard order is one of those legal fictions
which serve the purpose of time-killing
while the real work goes on. Tbe
more important matter of hurrying in returns
Irom outstanding Democratic counties does not
seem to weigh heavily on the minda of tbe
Democratic leaders. An efi'ort is being
inade to get up Democratic meetings through-
cut the State, for the purpose of influencine
tho Caiivaissiug Board. One Democratic journal
urges it, and wildly appeals to tbe people to get
together and utter their faith and purpose. In
tbe present excitement such a course is repre-
hensible. It shows how desperate desperation
may become. The object is simply to try in-
timidation on a iarge scale, particularly aimed
at the Board of Canvassers. Threats are still
muttered against Gov. Stearns and the Repub-
lican leaders, and tbe possibility of a violent
overthrow of the present Governiueut is seri-
ously entertained in Democratic quarters. It
is proper to say that the Governor and his Cab-
inet are attending to their daily routine duties
with calmness and dignity.
Tbe Justices oi tbe Supreme Court arrived
to-day. A Democratic journal protests against
the statements of a Tisies correspondent at
Jiicksonville, and franctically calls hard names,
and summons the merchants and publicists
of Democratio persuasion to issue coun-
ter statements. The Times correspondence
early pricked the Democratic bubble, and
exposed tbe trickery of the leaders. Every
word sent by The Timls specials is true, with
empliasia, and the half has not been told, and
never can be. To deny tbe statements
respecting Democratic frauds and threaten'ed
violence in Jackson County, whereby the
Republican majority of 500 was turned into a
Democratic majority of 106 ; the Kuklux-
ing of tbe special train with couriers
for returns ; the hanging of colored men, and
other methods of persuasion employed in Co-
lumbia County to increase tbe Democratic
vote — to deny these things point blank is a short
Democratic method of rebutting overwhelm-
ing and nnimpeachablo testimony. It is too
late in the dny lor this bluflf and
virtuous bluster game. The "solid South"
cannot be vindicated or maintained after
this manner. Tbe country must know
that tbe Republican Party ot Florida
baa maintained its»lf creditably a;;ainst
most fearful odds. Tbe methods of the Demo-
crats have embraced not only the scandal of
the tongue, but the dark devices of the as-
sassin. The Democrats do not hesitate to dis-
cufis publicly the short out to viotorv in the

Special IHspatch to the New-York Ttmei.
Washington, Nov. 22.— The following is an
extract from a letter which has been received here
Irom a gentleman holding a high, and responalblei
position in Florida :
" The Stale is lull of nfle companies and of Win-
chester nfles. Even in this city [Tallahassee]
rifles have been brought In by tbe case. The night
before election day nnmerons railroad bridges
were bnmedaeo as to prevent the running of trams.
The wrecking of the train bringing in election ro-
turns yon must have heard of. The State was
honestly carried by the Republicans, bat tho re-
turns of certain counties are yet held back by
the rebels and no one can tell what changes
will be ma'le. Tbe excitement is intense,
and many Republicans have left their homes in ab-
solute fear of their lives. The Democrats have a
hotel full of representatives here of all classes
and characters, from Sam Bard to Manton Mar'ole,
and Gov. Dorsheimer. The liberal use ef money
has already been detected at several points, and^ t
is believed that the Tilden managers will stop at no
outlay.
The Rennblican leaders are as brave and deter-
mined a set of young men as can be found any-
where. They have suffered, and are willing to suf-
fer again, for oar cause. Thev would not be alive
to-day if th« United States troops were not here,
but the soldiers are not counselors, and tho need of
the presence of more Republicans from the North,
for advice and connsel, is keenly felt. All the dis-
patches our iriends have sent out bave been true.
but to correctly understand and appreciate the po-
sition of the Republicans hrre. and what tbey have
to stand up agamst and contend with, yon must be
upon tbe ground and in contact with the infanated
rebels and tbeir Northern allies."
*LI, INTEREST CONCENTKATKD ON THE CON-
TEST IN THE COURTS TO-DAY.
IHspateh to the Assoeiaied Press.
Tallahassee, Nov. 22.— There is a perfecit
quiet in political circles her3. Everylhidg is sus-
pended to await the contest before Judge White to-
morrow, when the inj auction against the Governor
will either be confirmed or withdrawn, and the case
of the mandamus against tbe Canvassing Board
compelling tbem to begin work will be decided.
The Judge arrived to-night, and the argument will
open at 11 o'clock to-morrow. The raault can hard-
ly be reached in one day. It is impossible to dis-
cover what course the counsel for the Governor will
tafee, but it is believed he will deny the ri^rht of the
conrt to iasne an injunction againnthim. It is said,
on. the other hand, that, accepting the jarisdietioi^
of the court, be will go into an elaborate aefense of
his right to canvass the Electoral vote. The city is
crowded with strangers, and every train from the
North brings new arrivals. There will doubtless
be an appeal from Judge White's decision, no mat-
ter what that decision may be.
VIEWS from' WASHINGTON.
WORK IN THE NAVY -YARDS TO BE STOPPED
FOR WANT OB" MONEY— THK. PRESI-
DENCY — LITTLE INFORMATION RE-
CEIVED, EXCEPT THROUGH THE PRESS.
Svecial Dispatch to th' New-York Timet.
Washington, Nov. 22. — It ia no-w under-
stood that construction work in all the navy-
yards will be stopped in a few days. There is no
money to pay workmen, the appropriation at
the last session having been very small
and insufiicient. The only vessel on
which work will bo continued is the
Trenton. Fortunately, the general condition
ef the Navy has been much improved during
the last three or four years, and it is probable
that by economical management a respectable
naval force can be maintained in commission
till the end of tbe fiscal year.
The excitement concemmg the stationing of
troops in Washington has entirely died away.
To-day tbe subject is hardly anywhere alluded
to, and everything exceiit the Jaokson Associa-
tion moves on just as if there were n» soldiers
here. There is very little information re-
ceived here in regard to the elections except
that furnished by tbe press. The Na-
tional Committee appears to have tout
little communication -with Republicans now m
Louisiana and Florida, who seem to be doing
all that can bo done to secure a fair declaration
without suggestion or advice from this city.
Of the action of the Returning Board of
of South Carolina to-day something is
generally known, and people are anxious
lor tbe details. Mackey, who now argues in
court that the Returning Board has no judicial
power, lour years ago, when he had a personal
interest in the election, held and cnforcsd the
opposite theory. ' It has not been supposed
bere that the Retnj-ning Board would yield its
rights without tbe|deterniination of the highest,
judicial tribunal.
Mr. Hmton, declared elected over Jorgenson,
to Congress from "Virginia, according to the
statement of the latter, was beaten by the votes
in the ballot-boxes more than 5,500. There
are registered in the district about 7,000 more
colored than white vo'ers, a .d there are
claimed to be 1,500 white Republicans in the
district. 'I'bis large ma]oritv was overcome by
a variety of ingenious devices. Some of the
polls wore not opened in time to allow Repub-
lican votes to be gotten in. About 1,500 were
lost in this "way. The votes, as actu-
ally cast, would have shown. Jorgenson elected
by 55,000. Of this majority 2,000 are claimed to
have been disposed of in this way: Where at
any poll a count of the ballots discloses niore
in the box than the number of voters reg-
istered, a Judge of Election is blind-
folded, and the ballots being placed ^in
the box he draws out the number in excess of
the registration. The Demoeratic ballots were
very small atd the Republican ballots were
the usual size. Tho result was that blindfold-
ed Judges easily selected about two thousand
Republican votes in place of that number of
Democratic votes which had been stuffed into
the boxes.
Tbe decision of the House last Winter in the
Goode-Platt contest suggested tnc most effec-
tive way of wiping out the maiority in five Re-
publican counties. Defective returns were
made by the Judges. A seal was not put upon
tho returns, or one of the Judgca neglected to
sign them. In one case tbe return showed only
the whole vote east, but did not say how they
were divided. Following the action of tho
House last Winter, these counties were all
thrown out. By such means a district that has
heretofore given more than 6,000 Republican
majority, tbis year has been m^de Democratio
by a tew votes, wbic'i will be excuse enough
for Gov. Kemper to give Hinton a oerti4ca.e.

Special Dispatch to the New-York Times,
Baltimoke, Nov. 22. — The indications re-
ceived here to-(>ay of the indefinite postponemsnt
of tbe propesed Democratic celebration at
Washinctoa on the 29th ioat. )UL\b nrovoked
the Democratio leaders to atteranees
which develop the intention! of the celebra*
tion. It has been made manifest by
the talK of prominentDemocrats, and tbe investlm-
tion of tbe Secret "Service officers, who hare been
qnietly at work In Baltimore, f Jt several days past,
that it was intended to Inaagnrate a riot by
the procestion at Wnhington, and that a large
degree of aid was to be rendered from
Baltimore. Tho Democratio campaign clubs have
been drilling in secret, an^ making detAiU of armed
men to go over to Washington and take apart in the
contemplated disturbance. In every ward of this
city there are Democratio political daba largely
composed of men who have served in tbe Con-
feaerate Army, and who keep up militaty drill
and discipline in tbeir organization. Witbin the
past two weeks the clnba h<kve been turned into
military companies, and funds bave been collected
to sand tbem over to Washington on the 99tb.
Having received Information to,thia effect, tbe Gov-
ernment has bad a dozen detectives in Baltimore
since Saturday, who have been indnatrlously look,
ing up the matter and making reports to head-
quarter'.
To-day tbe Democratio Campaign Committee re-
ceived a dispatch from tbe Jaokson Acaociallons
of Washington that the celebration would n»t be
held, and that they might stop all their orepara-
tlonsforit. The news was aent aronnd to the
ward clabs, and belligerent Democrats bave
since been cursing tbe timidity of Wasbiag-
ton Bemocrats m permitting themselves to be
frightened becaase a tew hundred troopa were
massed there. It is a significant fact that Demo-
crate who were at the bead of the eonspiraoy to
assassinate Lmooln in '' 1S61, if . be bad OMsed
through Baltimore, are now seen awagger-
Ing aronnd tbe party bead-qnartera, deep
in conforenoe with the leaders of the party. Tho
Secret Service agents say tbe Government waa
early advised of the danger to reanit from the con-
templated celebration of the 89fh, and of
the belp'to it which waa expected from Baltimore.
Tbe concentration of troops at Wosbington was in the
nature of a checkmate, and tbe operatlona
of the Democratic dubs here have also been
closely watched. The intemperate talk at
Democratio h^ad-qaarters to-night abows clear-
ly enough that there was an evil design
in tbe Washington celebration, which has been
fmsfraled by the prospect that riotous proceedioga
would i be quelled at the point of the bayonet.
Nearly all of the Government detect Ives returned
to Washington to-night, well aattsfiud with the
success of tbeir investigation* In tbia neighbor-
hood.

CoLDMBiw, Nov. 22.— When the trar broke
ontinl861, s Democratio State .Oonventi<mia
thia city adopted reeolntions : declaring that
200,000 Democrats of Ohio 'sent i^reetine to
their brethren of the Soatii. To-daj, »
Bimilar convention met here at ths-
callofthe Chairman ot theSemoeratio 6tat«
Csmmittee and performed ■ a similar exploit.
The meeting oi to-day ' differed mainly
from that of 1861 in its sa{>Mior cau'
tion or. greater eovrardioe. There was
the Bame manifest desire to take 8ide<
with the Sonth in any resistanee it might maki
to lawful anthoijty. in ceirtain contingencies,
but more art and less bsldness in expressing
it The general tenor of to-day's demon-
stration was one of chastened Copperheadism
and insinuated' FebeUion. Open resistance
was often hinted at and indirectly threatened,
in case the Southern Returning Boards shonid
not concede Tilden'a electicm ; 'hut tbere m
an evident conscionsness on tbe part of
the speakers that this was •
dangerous subjeet to trifle witb, asd
that it was best to handle it earefnliy. Ostoi-
eibly the meeting was called to protest aarainst
an unfair count in ttie dispated States, but
this pretense was a transDarent sbaia.
In spirit and effect the jHcoceedings amounted
to a declaration of opposition, eren to th<
possible extreme of physical force, to any
count whatever that would not pat lliden
in. The Betnroing Boiurds were denonnoed
in unmeasured terms; as if in anticipation ot
tbeir adverse action with referenos to Demo-
cratic claims, and as the speakers warmed to
their work they betrayed the sraotbered firet
ofrerolntionary passion.
Gen. Thomas Ewing, who is uadorstood to \m
an aspirant to ths United States Senatorship,
in ease the Democrats can carry the L<egis-
latnre next year, was tbe prineipal
speaker. He made a bold bid for Copperhead
support by raving wildly about what he eaUed
a prearranged determination to coant Hayesia,
and to inaogorate him, or continue Gfast ^
force. ISe assumed tnat Lionisiana axtd Florida^
w«e for Tilden beyond dispute, sad bmtsd
tkat if these States were counted for Hayes the
House of Bepresentatives muse oppose Hm
count to the bitter end. Ewing concluded at
follows:
" The most monatrons deelaration yat naade ia

' Referringto the possibility that Tilden migbt
be denied the votes of the disputed States, ex*
Congressman George W. Morean said:

Gen. Durbin Ward said: "If armed o<»-
flict comes, it will not be brought on by the
Democratic Party. If it comes, it will be
forced on the people."
Hon. George H. Pendleton delivered himself
with unusual brevity and moderation. He
said he was not in despair that the
Returning Boards would honestly, fiair-
ly, and Impartially express the Dem-
ocratic judgment as to tke disputed
Ststes. He thought this was a critiisal test;ot
tbe capacity of the people for free government,
and he believed they would see justice dene.
He said Tilden was undoubtedly elected on the
popular vote, and entitled to a majority of th«
Electors.
The meetine numbered about five bnndreo
persons, and comprised a fair representation Oi
Democratic leaders from different parts of the
State. Liberals and Independents were ur
jtently invitetl to take a part in tb*
proceedings, bat so far as is knowi
not one of them responded, and ths
delegatione -were made up eiclusiyely from the
Democratic rank and file. ITie most violent
and obnoxious of the old peace party leaders,
excenting Pendleton", were prudently kept m
the background, but those leaders -were present
in person or by proxy, and maegueraded in the
military garments of Ewing, Wiley, Morgan
and others of army anteeodents. These
gentlemen have heretofore acted with the
Democratic Party, but ieel bound on every
nublio occasion to conciliate the Confederate
element of tbe party, with reference to thoic
war rooord. The most violent and revplution-
ary sentiments expressed at the meeting wers
most favorably received, and wi>re the onlj
sentiments enthusiastically applaoded.
The following resolutions were adopted:
lUtolved, That patriotism demands of every eoed
eitizen a spirit of ready acqnie«cenee in the msalt
of the Preaidoniial election as fairly asoertamed;
andwe deprecate all partisan feeling in the discus,
aicns of fact 'and law on which that result depends.
Rteolved, That it is due to tbe peouln. and it ia
indiepfusable to tbe preservation of free govern-
ment^ that the President shall nut be cbusen by'
fraud or force. We appeal to the offlners charjiMl
with omnvasslng tbe Tote and making ibo returns,
to allay public apprehension and suspicion by
open and impartial action, thus commanding tlis
cordial acquiescence of the American people ; but,
admonished by tbe past action of the present Re-
torning Board in Louisiana that snch returns may
be falsely and fraudulently made, we demand o'
the Senate and House of BepresenUtivea to exert,
if neoessary, the constitutional powers vesleJ in
them, Jointly er severaily, to the end that whoever
has been fairly chosen by the peopl* shall lie de-
clared and inaugurated Preaident of tbe United
States.
Resolved, That we regard tbe cono«»ntratioii o<
regular troops at Washington bv the President on
tbe eve ol the assembling uf Congress, as an net
cftlcnlsted to throw discredit upon the dispositi 4i
of-the people to obey tbe law and submii to tLo
result of the Pi eeideatial election »a legally •sot't-
tainod, and to excite annecessarv alarm as to the
stability of the Eepnblic ; the roby imperiling pe?.o«

TO THE
WHT
WHO IS RESFONSIBLEt
DID ALL. THB PAPERS, EXCEPT THB
TIMES, BLUNDER 80 GRIEVOUSLY ON
THE MORNING AFTER THE ELECTION?
From the New-Raven Pulladium, Nov. 21.
The letter from Mr. J. W. DeForest, which
we publish elsewhere, pata aome very pertinent
qae8tlon^ and shows a state of affairs in the
newspaper otSQ^^of the copntirT on election night
tliat is not very creditable. We must take our
share of the blame, th:uf;h we dil not dogmatize aa
to the retnlt of the election. V^e said that Mr.
Tilden's elsction was probable, while our dis-
patches, which we have been looking over, really
made it more probable that Rutberford B. Hayes
was to be our next President. Turning to the
metropolitan jonrnals, we find but one that did not
lose Its head. The New- York Times pave Mr.
Tilden every State that U now nnanlmonalv con-
ceded to him. It refused to concede that be had
oaried South Carolina. Florida, or Louisiana, and
therefore wanld not allow that hie election had been
placed beyond all doubt. The Tribune retnrna
elected Mr. Tllden, by giving him the ten votes
ol Wiseonain. Inolndins that State, he appeared to
have the requiaite 185 votes, while its Hayes col-
umn, which included Lonniaua, showed bnt 149
votea for the Kepublican caadidaces. It published
a column of " States donbtful and not beard from"
the votes of which numbered thirty-five. These
added to the 149 votea it concsded to Hayes wonid
give hiaa 184 votes, one leas than would L»e needed
to elect. Of the " States doubtful and not heard
from," bnt one, New-Jeraey, is now conceded to Mr.
Tilden. Placine its nine votes in tbe Tilden cel-
nmn. and traTisferring Wisconsin to Ha.yo.s, leaves
Mr. Tilden 184 voes. Of the six " States doubtful
and not heard from" that remained in the Iribune's
list whan New-Jersey had been subtracted, but
one, Florida, is now in diipute. All tbe others are
conceded to the Bepubhcao candidates.
We hsve given these, perbao'^ dry, details he-
oautio tbey serve to illustrate Mr. DeForesi's ex-
cellent and sngserftivo letter, lie is quite rieht in
attributing to the blander of tbe newspapers — we
believe it was a blunder, and not a deliberate de-
ceptlDD — the responsiWlity for the exeitement of
the pablio mind and the delusion of the Democrats
that the victory was alretidv theirs. He should,
however, have excluded The New-Youk Times from
the censure passed upon Its csutemporarles. It, as
we beve already said, kept its bead ooul and 'lealt
with nothing but ascertained f icts. Tbe e.tplana-
tion of what Mr. UoFerest aotly terms " the irreat
election hoax " la vurv simple, tboutch we do not
nrce it as any excnae for tbe blunder made bv the
press. The Presidential elections of 1S84, 1868, and
1872 had been such one-sided affairs, tl^^t tbe aver-
age Aaaeriuan citisen, editors inclnded, had almost
forgotten that an election micUt be very close, and
this althongn the ablest poiitioians on both sides
were expootlnc ■ close election. They had all
ooine, sinse the October elections, to regard New-
York as the State npun whose vote the result, woald
depend, and they quite- ignored the iiossibi ity of
the election torning apon one vote. We have seen
Dat one estimate of tne many made betore election
in whiob ll was shown that the Bepubiican oandi-
dAteb cuuld be elected without tlie'votes of Kew-
York. Nsw-Jersey, Connecticut, and Indiana. It
was an extremely incenious piece of worK. and
sbuald give i's author a high pl<ice among political
arithmetic men. What he predicted has come to
pass, and every one mnsb now Hee that it might
have been expected, or, if not quite that, that at
least It was nitbin the liwits of reasouatjlB proba-
bility. Previous to the election there were but
fjw Democrata, it, indeed, any, who ven-
tured to reckon upon the votea of Lonisiana,
South Carolina, and Florida, and wo even question
whether any liemocrat who nrided himself apou
his political forecast would have given odds that
Mr. Tllden would carry any one of tbem. These
States were not. that we remember, quoted very
extsnsively in the betUne lifts. It is. <,<f coarse, a
remarkable occurrence that the election of a Presi-
dent shonld depend npou one electoral vote, but it
IS no mere remarkable, less ao Indeed, than that a
Governor of Masaaohasetts should have been
elected bv a majority of one. Tne most remarkable
thing in the matter is that oar Democratic liiends
sbonld claim the votes of Kepublican States, ani In-
aist that they cannot be deprived of them unless by
fraud. But even this is no more remarkable than
the claim th,ey made to the vote of Wisconsin, a
claim conceded to tbem on the morning after elec-
tion by the journal once edited by that master of
election statistic?, Horace Greeley.
NOT ELEOTED £1 A MINORITY TOTS.
The Bridgeport Standard says that in , New-
Haven some forty years ago, a lawyer named Jona-
than Steddard endsavored to seize upon the ofSce
of Grand Juror. Jonathan brought the matter be-
fore tne court, claiming that as the candidate who
received the majority of the votes was not eligible,
he was himself elected to the ofiice by a minority
vote. Chief Jnstioe Chorob having heard the
whvle matter through said quite sarcastically,
"Whosoever else the people of New- Haven in-
tended to elect as a Grand Juror, they did not in-
tend to elect Jonathan Stoddard." Tbe spectators
were greatly amused at the manner in which Jona-
than vamosed the moment he heard tha deciiiion
of tbe Judge.
RECEPTION TO REV. DR. SIORRS.
A reeeptiOD, was tendered Rev. Dr. Storrs
last evening m the parlors of tbe Church of the Pil-
erims, on Breoklvn Heishta, of which the rev-
erend gentleman has been Pastor for the past thir-

ception being of an Int'ormal character, but, some

THE CONTROLLERS HIP.
Mayor Wickham stated yesterday that ho
was not responsible for the .statements in the news-
papers that he would nominate John Ktlly for the
the ControUership, but he positively declined to
give the name of the person whom he intends to
select for the psltion. The Tammany Aldermen,
however, still assert that Mr. Kelly will be the
head of the Finance Department in less than one
week, and that the Mayor will send in his name to
them for confirmation, either to-day or on Monday
next, when they propose to hold a special meeting tor
the purpose cf making him Controller. But shrewd
poliiiciins assert that the Aldermen may be mis-
taken, and tbat Mr. Kolly, on his roturu to this
City, m.^y find the otficn iirtvoud bis roach. It i.'*
aaid that should Mr. Iveliy be nominated, he will
hold the position only until the close ot the year,
and then induce the Mayor-elect, .Smith Ely, -Jr.. to

THE BILLIARDTOURNAMENT
ANOTHER DAY'S PLAYING.
THREE CONTESTS TKSTERDAY — JOSEPH
DION, DALY, AND RUDOLPHS DEFEAT
SHAEFFER, GARNIKR, AKD CYRILLE
DION, RKSPECTIVELY.
The contestants in the fifth regular gam© of
the national billiard tournament was played yester-
.dav afternoon at Tammany Hall by Messrs. Joseph
Dion and Jacob Shaeflfjr. The attendance was very
large. The pla.yer8 strung for lead at 2:30
o'clock, Dion winning and choosing the white ball.
In tbe first inning he failed to make a counting
stroke, and his young opponent fared no better,
falling to game on a two-cushion "draw," and leaving
the halls in a heap for Dion, who, however, only made
12 points. Shaefier again failed to score, and
this time Dion exhibited some brilliant play, the
inning netting him 27 points. At the end of the
fifth Inning the score stood aa follpwa: Shaetfer 3,
Dion 62. In the next, the latter, after
adding 12 to his score, left the balls well
set for his opponent, who soon had them
together, and began a " nurse" across the rail at
tbe foot of the table. With the thirty-seventh shot
he " froae" the balla, and his stroke from the spot
proved a suocesstul one. At 45 he continued tha
"nurse," and during the rest of his rnnot 94 "froze"
the balls twice. He was loudly applauded for
this rnn, and many of those present- believed that
the came would result in his favor. Dion, ho w-
evor, was playing a very strong game, and in the
three following innings put in runs of 44, 49, and 2;).
his adversary during the same time scoring only
5 points. From this time until the
sixteenth inning, when Dion made a
flue run of 9D, the play was only
ordinary. This run placed his sbdre at 291, and he
would undoubtedly have finished the gsaie but for
a foul claimed by Shaeffur and decided in his favor
by the referee, Mr. Neil Bryant. Shaeffer then
played for salety, that being his privilege, and
failed to count, leaving the balls in good position for
bis opponent, who closed the game in tbe next
Inning. Following is the score:
Dion— 0, 12, 27, 15, 8, 12, 44, 49, 20, 0, 2, 1, 1 , 1. 0,
99. 9-300.

DALY VERSUS GAHNIER.
The contestants in the first game of tho evening
were Messrs. Albert Gamier and Maurice Daly,
and prior to the opening of the game the pool-sell-
ing was $20 to fl6 in tavor of the former. There
was a large number ot spectators present. Daly,
who on Tuesday evening was defeated by Shaeffer.
won the lead, but failed to count from the spot, and
Gamier played a neat run of 17. From this point
the game was a very one-sided affair, Gartier no^
being able to hold the balls in position for any
lengcn of time, while his opponent played a very
brilliant game. The latter in the fourth inning
mode a run of 123, nearly every point
of wlii.ih was well earned. ^ He did very
little "nur.^iug." and the rnn , was in a measure
remnrkal'lo tor tho beauty tif many of the shots.
At ihe end.i f the inning tbe score stood : Gamier,
18; Daly, lOii. In the eighth inning. Gamier, who
was p^aviusi a reinarkaljly poor game, got the balls
well sot on tO" riirht hand cushion, and
after soorin,: 11 pciats, made a careless
■' push ' gho"^, whicU of course closed his rnn apd
left the balls all ui a group far Daly, who improved
the opportunity and rolled up another run ot 55.
From this noint till the close the game was very
uninteresting, and was closed by Daly in the
thirtieth inning with 2. his opponent having in the
previous inning scored a very nicely-played run of
53. The following is the score :
Dalt— 0, 2, 0. 123, 0. 2, 0, 1, 55, 9, 0, 5, 2, 4, 34, 7.
7, 1, 4. 7, 9, 0. 0, 1, 1, 5, 4, 16. 0, 2—300.

BUDOLPHE VERSUS CYRILLE DION.
Messrs. A. P. Budolphe and Cyrllle Dion were
the contestants in the second game of the evening
—the seventh regular game of the tournament,
which was called at 9:55 o'clock, Mr. Neil Bryant
acting as Kefaree. Eudolphe winning the lead, s"-
lecred the white ball andjcored 1, after which
his ophonent mads J^ going out on an
easy cushion. Budolphe then added to
his string a well-played run of 35, in which aome
very pretty shots were made and some fine "nurs-
ing" done. Dion seemed to bs out of play, and
missed all kinds of easy ehots, scorins no run of
more than 5 points for sixteen innings. Bu-
dolphe played with his usual care, his
movements ' at times being so slow as to
be almost agonizing. In the eighth inning
be made another run nf 39, and apart from
thla and the other abova mentioned, his play was
poor. At the end of the fifceenth inning the string
showed Dion, 23 ; Rudolohe, 100. In th? next in-
ning, Dim, with considerable effort, got
the balls in good position, and by
judicious play managed to bring them
into "nurslDg' position, continuing the rnn until
he had acorod 136 points when he retired on a diffi-
cult bank. It was all to no nurpose, however, for
Budolphe in the twenty-second inning closed tho
game with an excellent run of 134. Following is the
score :
Eiinoi.PHB-1, 32, 3, 2. 0, 0, 4. 39, 0, 6, 0, 6, 0, 0. 7,

THE DUTY ON "ITALIAN CLOTHS."
IMPORTANT CIRCULAR TO COLLECTORS OF
CUSTOMS— ICXCES3IVE DUIIES TO BE RE-
TURNED, IN /CCORDANCK WITH A DE-
CISION OP COURT.
Special Dispatch to the New-Yorle Times,
Washington, Nov. 22. — The following letter
has been prepared by the Secretary of the Treas-
ury in reference to the appraisement of duty on
" real or imitation Italian cloths," and will be for-
warded to the Collector of Customs at JS'ew-York
to-tnorrow :
Eef'jning to instructions to you under date of
July 19 last, informing yon of my determination to
adhere to the position tneretoioie taken by the De-
partment in tne matter of the assessment ot duty
on "striped and fancy Italian cloths," ho
called, until after a trial of one of the
suits theu pending in court, which involved the
question. I now have to state that the Department
is in receipt of a communication dated the 2J inst..
from the United States Attorney at New-York, by
which it appears that the suit of Louis Bluueart et
al. apainst C. A. Arthur, involviug the ques-
tion referred to, was duly tried on the
27th ulti«BO in the United States Circuit
Court for the Southern District of New-
York, and resultetl in a verdict for the plain-
tiffs, suataining the position taken by ths import-
ers, that said goods are dutiabla according to their
value per square yard, under tho provision for
"real or imitation Kalian cloth" in Schedule L.
The result of aaid trial was submitted to the Attor-
ney General, who certifies that, as tbe question in-
volved is one ot fact, the judsrment must be doomed
oonnluhive, and Tecommeuds that the piincinle
thereby established ba " recognized iu sim-
ilar importaiiens and case?, any prior contrary
raling of the Treasury Department notwith-
standing. Under these circumstances, and in ac-
cordance witb such recommendation, the Depart-
ment acqnirsces in the conclusion aforesaid, anil
you are there-fore tierebv directed to take the neces-
sary stejis for refunding an,y duties exacted on the
merchandise covered by the above-mentioned suit,
which, according to tbe principle esiab-
lish-id by the indgment therein," were ex-
acted in excess , of the proper amount.
The same oouise will bo taken by you with regard
to the entries of aimilir goods where the reqnire-
mepts of law as to protest, appeal, and bringluesuit
have been duly complied witb by the importer ; and
vou will ,'«.lso cause th« practice at your jiort in as-
sessing duty ou future importations of such goods
to conform to tbe said decision, which la to the
efl'dct that the so-called striped and fancy Italians
are dutiable, when valued at not exceeding 20 cents
per square .vani ; at six cents per squaio yard, and
25 per cent, advalorem ; and when valuetl at over
21) coma per equare yard , at eight cents per square
yard, and forty per cent, art valorem.
This question has been iu controversy between
the Treasury Department and importers for the past
two years, and as importers have been paying duty
on Italians as silk goods, the amount to bo re-
tunded by the Government, under tht* decision of
the court and this letter of the Secretary, will reach
quite a large sum.
THE NEWARK UURDJiRERS.
Counsel tor OschwaUl and liyan, the con-
demued Newark murderers, are preparing a bill of
exceptions to Judge Depne's charge and rulings on
tha trial, and will submit it lo Chancellor Riinyon,
with an application for a writ of error. AVhen tbe
bill is ready notice must be given to the Prosecutor
and Attorney General ot the time fixed by tbe
Chancellor for hearing the argument. , If
tho Chancellor decides that there is no ground
fjr the exceptions, no appeal can be made to
the Supreme Court i bat if be grants a writ of error,
and the case is taken to tbe Supreme Court, tbe
•rguraent cannot be heard before February. Aa tho
^dxeoatlon is fixed fpr Jan. 5. U will be «ovessarv. iu
the latter ease, for G^jv. Bedle te grant » respite.
The time for which he can grant a respite is limited
to ninety days trom the day of sentence, which
would bring it down to Feb. 20, scarcely time
enough fir the court to hear the argument and
render a decision. Judge Depue, however, has ex-
pressed a willingness to grant all the time neces-
sary. Shonld tho appeal to tbe Supreme Court be
unsuccessfnl, applicatien will be made to tbe Court
of Errors, and. in the event ot a failure there, the
Court of Pardons will be the final resort of tbe con-
demned mtirderers.

resting John Smith, alias Jacob Frimil, alias Bep,
and George Masset, alias Red Masset^ the two men
who entered the apartments of Mrs. Caroline
Becker, No. 158 East Third street, on the night of
the 5th inst., and assaulted her with an iron instru-
ment until they thought she was dead. Mrs.
Becker is an aged widow, and on the night m ques-
tion was aroused from her sleep bv a Knock at her
door, and upon opening It sue saw two men in
the hallway, one of whom presented her a
temperance card, and while she was reading
It, one of the men caught her by the throat, pushed
her into the room, and threw her upon the sofa.
The other fellow then struck her a, hard blow upon
the head with a jimmy. The man who held her
Rskod the other if he had finished her. "Not
quite," ho replied ; ''once more." Striking another
heavy blow, he said ; ''She is finished now." In an
hour or so after the attack, Mrs. Becker partially
recoVeied from her injuries, and found that the
mun had taken property valued at 8100. Detectives

LAW REPORTS.

THE UNION FERRY FRANCHISES.
THB city's suit TO ANNUI TBE LEASE — ONE
DOLLAR PKB YEAR RENT FOB FIVE
TERBIES.
The trial of the action, brought by the City
againat the Union Ferry Company of Brooklyn, was
begun before Judge Van Vorst in the Supreme
Court. Special Term, yesterday. The Ferry tUom-
pany, aa is well known,' runs the Hamilton, South,
Wall street, Fulton and Catharine ferries. It
formerly paid an annual rental to the.City of |103,000
for the ferry franchises. In 1871, however, while
the Tweed Ring waa m power, a leaae was
made of the franchises tp the, company at an annual
rental of tl, on condition that the company should
charge only one cent for femage between the
hours of 5 and 7:30, in the morning and evening, and
that the rates of fare for vehicles should be rednced
fifty per cent. Tho proposition for the lease was
made by Mayor Hall and acceded to by the Ferry
Company, the terms having been suggested bv Wil-
son G. Hunt and John T. Agnew. Mr. Whitney,
the present Corporation Counsel, shortly after com-
ing into ofBon consulted George Tioknbr Curtis in
reference to the matter, with a view to havmg the
lease of 1871 annnlled. Mr. Curtis wrote an opinion
in which ho maintained that the lease waa void on
two grounds. The first of these was that all
City property which is capable of producing a
reht cannot be leased for a nominal rent for
any reason, becanae all rents of City property are
bv law pledged to the Commiasioners of tbe Sinking
Fund as secnrltv for the payment of interest on the
public stocks of the City. Another ground was
that even if the City Corporation itself had the
pawer to make the lease, tbe Commissioners of the
Sinkins Fund could not act, aa they bad done in
this case, in making a lease without first putting up
the feiTy fraochises at public auction and then
awarding the sane to the highest biddera. Tho
present action was instituted tor tbe purpose of set-
ting aside the lease, and the complaint sets forth
the points raised by Mr. Curtis. The ans'ver
of the Ferry Company denies the allegation
in tbe complaint, that tbe suit is brought
at the request, or under the authorization of tbe
tax-payer", or m behalf of the holders of City
stocks. The defendants also deny that the City
owns the ferries, bulkheads, wharves, &o., except
for the benefit and convenience of the public.
They claim further, that they own the land on
which the piers are situated, and deny the asser-
tiim of the complaiat that the lease ot the fran-
chises is worth $150,000 per year. In regard to the
lease soughtto be set aside, the Company claims
that it was duly approved and ratified by the City,
and that the terras had been fixed b.y persons
selected by the City. The case is still en. George
Ticknor Curtis appears for the City, and Beniamin
Siiliman fi»r the Ferry Company.
AN OVTRAQEOUS CRIME PUNISHED.
Ella Kaufman, the proprietress of a rile den,
together with Sophia and Minnie Kaltenhanser,
mother and dangbter.'her housekeeper and nurse
girl, were tried before Recorder Hackett yesterday
in Part I. of the Court of General Sessions, for tbe
abduction of Selma Belhmacn, a girl of thirteen,
living with hfr parents at No. 31 Bayard street. The
case for the prosecution was conducted by Assistant
District Attorney Bell, who proved that the three
women bad decoyed the girl into the house No. 171
Suffolk street^ and there, by force and violence,
compelled her to snbmlt to the most revolting in-
dignities, tha particulars of which are utterly unfit
for publication. The girl was deterred from
going iiome through fear of the prisoners,
but finally was found on tho streets
bv her uncle, who restored her to her parents. Mr.
Bell prosecuted the case with his usual zeal, and
the jury, pfter hearing Recorder Hacket's charge,
promptly fonnd the three wretches guilty of the
oflense charged. The Recorder said that the case
was one of the most revolting that had ever coma
to his knowledge, and it ^as fitting that the court
shonld mark its aoprovalfif the verdict of the jury,
and its detestation of theMnfamena crime commit-
ted, by inflicting tbe heaviest penalty in its power.
They had mined a virtuous yanng girl, and insured
for her a lifd at misery and shame. His honor then
sentenced tho two principal prisoners — Sopnia Kal-
tenhansar and Ella Kanfman — to twenty years
each in the State Prison, and sent tha young girl,
Minnie Saltenhauser, t* the Penitentiary for five
years. On hearing their sentence the women
filled tbe court-room with their shrieks, and had to
be removed.

A few nights ago as Thotnaa Q. Gibson, ot
Jersey City, wss coming down town from one of the
theatres with bis wife and sister on a Broadway
car, be was tapped on the shoulder while standing
on the back platform and looked around. Imme-
diately he felt a tug at his vest pocket and turned
hia head in time to see the thief jump oflf the car
and disappear. Gibson went to the Fifteenth Precinct
Station-house, and saw Capt. Byrnes, to whom he
reported bis loss, and gave a description of the

diately identified by Mr. Gibson as the man who

TBE KILLING OF PATRICK LYONS.
The trial of Daniel SuUivan, indicted for
murder in the second degree, was begun before
Chief Justice Davis and a jury in the Court of Oyer
and Terminer yesterday. It appears that a man
named Patrick Lyons kept a liquor store at the
corner of Baxter and Bayard streets, and that there
bad been an altercation in front of hia premises on
the afternoon of Sept. 25, 1876. There was a crowd
gathered on the sidewalk, and Lyons went out and
niado some remarks while walking up and down.
What occurred then is a matter cf some dispute. One
thing, however, seems to bo established, and that is
that Sullivan struck Lyons on the head with a
shovel. Lyons died on Oct. 1. Assistant District
Attorne.y Lyon opened the case f.ir the prosecution,
and contended that there had been no provocation.
Several wirnesses were called to testily iu regard to
the tracas, and tbe trial was then ad)ouined until
to-day.

The case ol Henry Port against Warren Har-
riot and others was tried betore Judge Barrett and

Instance of tho defendant!', who chargcu him with

ing credit for a bill if goods amounting in value to
S201. The order of arrest was afterward set

arrest was miiliciooa, and that he was sick for five
months in consequence of his imorisonmeot. He
asks 510,000 damages tor malicious prosecution.
Tbe deleiidants claimed thac they had uot been
actuated by malice, that there had been no want
of probable cause for their action, and that the
defendant lid make the representations complained

THE CONTENTS OF A BARREL.
The suit of Zimmerman against tho National
Steam-ahfp Corapaiiy was tried before Chief Justice
Curtis and a jury, in Part I. of the Superior Conit,
yesterday. Tbe pjlaintilT brought the action to re-
cover 1800, which,j he alleged, was the value of a
barrel and its oon^enta abipped from Liverpool to
this City on one 'of the detendauts' steam-ships.
The barrel, which waa aaid to contain ohina and
glassware, was never delivered. The plaintiff,
when on the stand. teatiUed to the kind and quan-
tiu et goods vhiob were in the barrel.. The dc-
fendaata pnt experienced paecers on the stand,
who a wore that no anch quantit.y of chins and glass-
ware could have been packed in tbe barrel, which
oonld by the most skillful packing only be made to
contain a small portion of the articles enumerated
by the plaintiff. Tbe jury, after a long dehoera-
tion, rendered a verdict for the plaintiff for $417.
John M. Bowns appeared tor the plaintiff, and B. C.

"WHAT'S IN A NAME?"
ARGTTMENT ON THE APPLICATION TO RE-
STRAIN JARRETT AND PALMER FROM
USING THE TITLE . ''BOOTH'S TBBATRB"
— ^JCDGE VAN BRUNT BEBSRVES BI8
DECISION.
Argument yras had, before Judee Van Brunt
in the Special Term of the Court of Common Pleaa
yesterday, on tbe motion for a temparary injonotion
to restrain Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer from using
the name of Booth in connection wltb tbe theatre
at Sixth avenue and West Twenty-third street
The application is made by Euwin Booth, who wap.
represented in the argnment byLuke A.Lockwood.
Benjamin F. Russell appeared for the defendants.
Mr. Booth, in an affidavit, sets forth that he has
bee« an actor tor twenty years, and that
he has become widely, and, he believes, favorably
known aa such throughout the country and else-
where. In 1867 he became the ewner of the lots at
West Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue, and
built the theatre, which he managed down to July,
1873. The nss of his name m the title of the thea-
tre be believes to be cf valne in attracting the spe-
cial atteniien and cnatom of the public. He never
intended his n.tme to be soused after he parted with
the ownership and never granted any licenae or
right to any person to use the name of Booth as
part of the designation of the theatre. Mr. Booth
also alleges that Jarrett & Palmer's uae ot his name
is calculated to deceive the public and to lead per-
sona to suppose that he is in some way interested
in the theatre or its business.
Jamea H. McVickor, Mr. Booth's manager,
made affidavit of hia belief that tbe use
of _Mr. Booth's name is calculated to
deceive the public and lo induce peraona to believe
tbat Mr. Booth is interested in the theatre or Is en-
gaged there. Now that Mr. Booth is engaged else-
where in the City, the use of his name by Jarrett &
Palmer will mislead the public. Mr. Mc'Vioker also
asserted that the use ci tbe name in connection
with the spectacular plays produced at the theatre
will injure Mr. Booth.
Mr. Lock wood argued that the name "Booth's
Theatre" la a kind of trade-mark which oannot be
need except with Mr. Booth's consent.
Mr. Russell, in reply, said that Edwin Booth had
leased the theatre to hia brother, Junius Bmtua
Booth, in Febrnary, 1873, lor five years ; Junius
managed it iintU April, 1874, when, being oankrnpt,
he assigned his lease to Messrs. Jarrett &. Palmer.
Edwin Booth, who waa also bankmpt, conveved
the pioperfy to Clark Bell, on Nov. 12, 1873. The
Refefee. in the foreclosure suit which fjllo'wed. and
Mr. Bell, execnteid a lease to Messrs. Jarrett j^
Palmer for three years from May 1, 1S74. The prop-
erty was described as "Booth's Theatre "
in all the conveyances. It had always
been known by that name, and the
continuance of the use of the name was with Mr.
Booth's knowledge and consent until very recently.
Edwin Booth never had the sole and exclusive riglit
te the use of the name "Booth." It was tne name
of his father and his brothers, all of whom had
been actors of note. The theatre had never been
known as "Edwin Booth's Theatre." Tbe name
"Booth's Theatre" was part ot the goodwill of
the establishment, and had passed with the re-
mainder of tbe property. Besides this, even if
Mr. Booth had any rights in the matter, he lost them
by acquiescence and neglect to assert them. It was
a false nretense to assert that tbe name of Booth
in itself was or ever had been of any value to tho
dkfendania. Mr. Booth, also, had neither anffered
pecuniary loss nor loss of reputation by reason of
the management of Jarrett & Palmer, and the nub-
lic had not been misled or deceived. Under Mr.
Booth's management. Including his personal acting,
tbe theatre had been a failure. The same waa true
of the management of Junius Brutus Booth, he be-
ing $15,0C0 in debt when Jarrett & Palmer took
possession. The latter had spent about sixty thou-
sand dollars in advertising the theatre, and with
it the name of Mr. Booth, and had also used their
skill and energy in producing gooa plays and em-
ploying the best talent. Jarrett & Palmer had
given the nameof thetbeatre whatever valueit now
has. Mr. Booth himself wrote to Mr. Jarrett In
March. 1875, saying that he felt pride in what tney
had done to support and establish the reputation of
the theatre. The present was aa attempt to deprive
Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer of the fruits of their skill
and enterprise. Judge Van Brunt reserved his de-
citsion.
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
Washington, Nov. 22. — The following cases
were argued in the Supreme Court yesterday :
Nos. 11 and 12, (original.)— i^a; rel. Kdrsten-fiet
and Henderson. — Petitions for habeas cortius, — The
petitioners were convicted under the Whisky Ring
prosecutions in Louisiana, and sentenced to im-
prisonment for more than one year. Subsequently
they wiere transferred by the direc'.ion cf the At-
torneyiGeneral to the Penitentiary of the State of
West Virginia. The writ is asked for on the
ground that there is no authority to imprison the
parties outside the district or State where the
court which convicted them was held, and it is fur-
ther argued that, aa the Legislature of West Vir-
ginia has never consented to allow the use of the
penitentiaries of the State for the detention of Fed-
eral prisoners, they are not legally there confined.
The Government replies that aa there waa no auit-
able jail or place of confinement in Louisiana, the
prisoners were properly transferred; and that the
revisai does not require an express statute of the
State authorizing tbe use of its penitentiaries for
such purposes bv tbe United States. It is said,
however, ttiat West Virginia has antborized tbe use
of county jails by tne Government. But by comity
snch legislative sanction is not required, and it is
sabmitted tbat the officers of tbe State, acting un-
der an opinion of its Attorney General, hold this
view. D. C. Labatt for petitioners; Mr. Solicitor
General S. F. Phillins for GovfirnmenL
No. 106. — Cohen vs. United States Corset Company
Appeal from tbe (;ircuit Court lor the Southern
District of New-Toik — This was a biU for injunc-
tion and account of profits, charging the corset com-
pany with an infringement of a patent to Cohen for
an improvement in corsets granted in April, 1873.
The court found that the invention claimed by
Cohen was anticipated in an aopUcatieu f ;r a patent
filed in the British Patent Office, in January, 1854,
by one Johnson, who, as the agent of a citizen of
France, took fir bis client, under tbe provisiona of
the British Patent act, provisional protection for an
improvement in the manufacture of stays or cor-
sats. It ia here contended that this was error, and
that Cohen, before taking out his patent, consulted
tbe papers filed iu tbe British Patent Office in that
case, and then disclaimed any, principle involved in
that patent. B. F. Thurston for appellant; George
Gifford for appellee.
No. 936.— Jo«epA Gottliet plaintiff in error, vi.
Maggie Mam7n,ond. — Iu error to the Sapteme Court
of Colorado. — On motion of C. F. Peck, docaeted
and dismissed with costs.
No. 109. — The Indianapolis and St. Louie Railroad
Company plaintij' in error, vs. Henry Horst. — The
argument of this cause was continued by A- G.
Porter, of connsal for the defendant in error, and
concluded by Joun T. Dye for the plaintiff in error.
No. 110. — Samuel O. Jones appellant vs. The City of
Pensacola. No. 111. — Edward Broughton appellant
vs. 'Ihe City of Pensacola. — These causes were ar-
gued by Msssrs. Thomas G. Jones and P. Fhiilipa,
ot counsel tor appellants, and sabmitted on printed
arguments by C. C. Vonge for the appellee.
No. 112. — Samuel Smith et al, plaintiffs in error,
vs. Myra Clarke Haines. — This cause was argued b.y
James E. Mott, i.f counsel for the defendant in
error, and submitted on printed arguments by
James McConnell tor the plaintiffs in error.
No. 113, — Daniel H. Smith, appellant vs. The Good-
year Dental Vulcanite Company et al. — Tbe argu-
ment of tnis cause was commenced by Henry Bald-
win, Jr., of counsel for the appellant.
Oa motion of F. W. Hackett^ Frank Goonwin, of
Boaton, Mass , was admitted to practice as an attor-
ney and counselor ot this court.
The court then adjourned until to-morrow.
THE MIDLAND RAILROAD SUITS. \
The litigation tollo wing tha settlement <if tho 1
affairs cf the Midland Railroad, despite the decree ;
of foreclosure rendered by Judge Blatciiford on |
Oct. 2, has again sprung up In the U;iited States j

JSABLT MABBIAQES.
From the Quarterly Review.
Ws are aware that the early and utterly ii^-
provident marriages among this class have tbeir de-
fenders. That as the "liberty of tbe snbjeot" is
supposed to be involved in a man's ri^ht to
drink himself and his family to ruin, so
earlv marriages are concluded to ' be neces-
sary among the reckless and irrshgious to
guard againsta worse svil. Tne question la notona
that demands any elaborate argumentation or
reference to Malthas or Mr. Fawcett, but may he
judged on its own merits. Theoretically, we may
be sure that it never yet answered to do evil that
good might come; while, practically, the lives of
the poor sufficiently prove that the legal indaleance
of selfishness and sensuality seldom stands in
the wav of the illegal indalgfooe of those
temptations. Those also conversant with tbe
miseries of poor women know that the men
who desert their wives and children are chiefly
of the class of vicious boys who have thus abused
the facility of marriage. Some innocent voice may
here be heur^ to ask, "But why do the narents al-
low tbe children to marry thus early I" Little do
they know of the poor ot London who imagine that
there is any allowmg or disallowlug in the mat-
ter. Many are the diflSculties that beset
even the well-disposed among tbe labor-
ing classes in wbat is called the " bring-
ing up " of tbsir children. And perhaps there is as
point In which rlght-tblnkins: narents among the
London poor more legitimately envy tbe rich than
In their comparative facility for keeping their fami-
lies from contamination. As a rule, hewever, the
London poor, and espeoiallv tbe London mothers,
have no idea ot assnmiug any moral an-
thorlty. Th^y taunt, when provoked; they
beat when angrv; ani, eenerally BpeaklDg.
think it a »roof •! dignity to wash their hands
ot all control over their ehildrsn, Tbe widowed
mother haa a son, to whom by the laws of nature
she is entitled to look fur help. He marries before
he is twenty, and in three months' tijne her furni-
ture is seized for the young couple's rent, and this,
without the l^at sbame, ebe cotiverts into a plea
for begging. Not that we would be thought to im-
ply any real distinction in this and other vital
points between the so-called rich and poor. The
iatuts 9f the fool are pretty mach the same all oTor
the world, though differing in coroplexl>>n and d«-

Wednesday, Nov. 22— P. M.
The bull moveraent inaugurated yester-
day came to ratber an inglorious halt to-day,
and the entire list of active stocks, wita
scarcely an exception, recorded a decline. The
cause assigned for the break was tlie denial of
the report that a settlement of tbe railroad war
was likely to be effected, but doubtless the
sober second thought, which could not fail to
suggest the hopelessness ot looking for any-
thing more than imerely a temporary advance
at a period of such political and Randal uncer-
tainty as the presant, had a good deal to do
with the sudden change ot Iront on the part of
the bulls. The decline in prices ranged from V4,
to H<j ¥" cent., with Lake Sbore, Michigan Cen-
tral.and the coal stocks as the principal sufferers.
The great depression in the coal trade re-
ceived a fresh illustration at the auction sale of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Com-
pany to-day, the prices obtained being consid-
erably below those realized at the October
sale. Delaware, Lackawanna and Western fell
off to 67^. and oloaad at 68W. mmmiamt 6S4fe
iiSI-- -
yesterday. New-Jersey Central sold as low as
33^, and closed at 329^, against 33 yesterday.
Delawate and HudBon,8fter sellinj! down to 679b,
rose to 69. Morris and Essex sold at 90. Among
the Western shares, Lake Shore fell oflf from
58^ to 57, and closed at 57%. Michigan Central
declined from 44V4 to 42^, and subsequently
rallied to 43 V4. New- York Central declined
froml02?4 to IO2V4, Erie from IQirb to 9^8,
North-west common from 35?^ to 35%, preferred
from 58% to 58, Rook Island from 99 Mi to 98%,
and Western Union from 72% to 72Jr&.
St Paul common fell oflf from 20"* to 19%,
and the preferred from 52% to 52^, but the
former afterward rose to 20% and the latter to
53V4, Pacific Mail rose from 2A% to 25%. Illi-
nois Central declined to 68^&, and later rose to
71i><!. C, C„ C. and L decUned to 38.
Harlem sold at 136, Fort Wayne at
102, and Pittsburg at 8S% The entire
business of the day reached 130,900 shares,
which embraced 50,400 Lake Shore, 19,315
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 18,200
St Paul, 16,000 Michigan Central, 6.400 Erie,
and 4,900 North-western.
The announcement was made to-day that the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad
Company have decided to pay diyidends
quarterly, instead of semi-annually as hereto-
fore. The first quarterly dividend will he paid
Feb. 1.
The money market was easier to-day, and
most of the business was at S^'&i ^ cent.,
while tsward the close free offerings were made
as low as 2 V6® 3 ^P' cent ^ The rates for prime
mercantile paper remain at 4 to 6 ^ cent, a
moderate demand being reported. The na-
tional bank notes received at Washington lor
redemption to-day amounted to $700,000. Some
of the banks are shipping considerable ctir-
rency to the South for cotton purposes. The
rates of Exchange on New-York at the under-
mentioned cities to-day were : Savannah, V4
off ; Charleston, easy, 5-16 to par ; Cincinnati,
dtill, 100 discount ; NeW-Orleans, commercial,
^6®9-l6; bank, V4 ; St Louis, 100® 125 dis-
count, and Chicai^o, 75 discount
The foreign advices were again favorable to-
day, a very firm tone characterizing United
States bonds at London. Consols opened at
95% ® 95%, against 95% ®95^4 at the close yes-
terday, but afterward settled back to the latter
quotations. United States 1867s were V4®% ^
cent, better, and the other issues % ^ cent,
higher ; 18678 closed at 109®109>*, 1865s (old)
at 103^i!, 10-408 at 1077/6, and New 5s at 106®
106')§. Erie fell off a fraction, closing at 9%.
The sum of £141,000 was withdrawn from the
Bank of England on balance to-day of which
£52,000 was for shipment to thu country.
The sterling exchange market was steady
on a small business. Prime hankers' bills are
quoted at $4 81%® $4 82 tor sixty days, and
at $4 83%® $4 84 for demand drafts, the nom-
inal asking rates being $4 82Mi and $4 Sihi.
Gold was weakened slightly by the strength
of securities at London and the prospective
arrivals of specie from tbe other side. All the
probabilities point to a lower gold prantium,
unless indeed confidence should be shaken by
an attempt on the part of any faction of the
Democracy to resist tbe peaceftil inauguration
of Gov. Hayes in the event of his receiving
the certificates from the doubtful States. The
sales of gold to-day were at 109% and 109^4, the
market opening and closing at the latter figure.
Cash gold was in rather better deUiand, and in
some instances loans Were made flat to 2 ^
cent for borrowing. The m^ority of transac-
tions, however, were at 1®3 ^ cent, for carry-
ing.
Government bonds were generally steady.
The only change ef consequence was in coupon
18678, sales of which were made at 115 ^/g® 116,
against llG^fe yesterday. The new 58 sold at
112%, In railroad mortgages there was an ad-
vance in several instances. Ohio and Missis-
sippi Seconds advanced 3^4 ^ cent., selling up
to 46% ; do. Consolidated advanced from 80 to
81. Milwaukee and St Paul Consolidated
Sinking Funds rose to 86. Chicago and
Northwestern Consolidated Gold Coupons to
951/4 ; Michigan Central, 7s to 102, and St
Louis and Iron Mountain Firsts to 100%.
New-Jersey Central Firsts, new, fell off from
110 to 109 ; do. Convertible aeelined to 80^6,
and afterward sold at 81. Sales of Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Ss Were made at 116Mj
'2)116, and ef Lake Shore Consolidated Regis-
tered Firsts at 105®104J,4. The Paciflo issues
were steady. State bonds wera quiet and de-
void of feature.

JWm tA< London TtUffraph.
Just now medical men in Paris are busy dia«
cossiag a corioas case wbish bss oome under tbe
observation of the learned Dr. VerasaiL Ths do3-
tor had a lad Itronght to him tat treatment at Uia
Hospital de la Pitl^ who had swallows J by acci-
dent a dose of oaostic potash. Xbs terrible «seh»-
ro^tc predaeed so tight a constriotioB in th« gnUst
that no food woald pass down into ths stomach.
Death trom inanition most have bsea the resalt had
not Br. yernenil eonrageonsly resolved to perforaa
the dreadful operation known as gaatrotomy. On
the S6th Of Jniy, aooordingly, he cat right taw to*
lad's stomash, md inserted Into it an otaatio tab*, ,
through which fsod could be isjeetod. In thin
way soap, flne-choppod meat, mashed vegetables,
and dnfik Wfr6 idmlBiatered. On the lOth of
September tbe young man reoovered hia faoaltfc
and spirits. He was able to go aboat and btip tko
servants in the hospital, aad soemed to hava m
much life and energy as ha had before the aooldaat.
Between the tStii of Aogastand the 14ch of Soptoaa-
ber he gained tea potmds in weight, while being fad
throagb tbo hole ia his stomach. Of ooarsotkaa
case miut have a rare interest for all stadents of
the complex pheaomena of digestioa, and it •anaot
hut recall a Still strasgeroas, which, neatly forty
years ago. Dr. Beaonsont, a Caaadiso, had the sood
tortnne to observe. Kis patient enablod physiolo-
gists, in fact, to ferasnlsta nearly all our existing
knowledge of the processes of stomachal digestion.- .
He was one Alexis St. Martin by nam& and,
loolcilv for selenoa, he had a nolo made !■ his
stomach through the sudden discharrs of a gan.
Dr. Bsaaaeut cared him so far that ne roeavered
his health ; hut though tse wound healed, th* opaa-
ing remained, and through it Dr. Beaamant was ea-
abied to se* the workings of a living human stom-
aoh ia nearly all eonooivablo circamstascaa. Aa-
other case of the same sort — that of anEsthoniaa
woman — came uader tbe obaervatioa of Dto. Sohro^
• er apd Griinewaldt some foar-aud-twoatr years
ago, and vivisectors know how Blondlot and others
artificially produced tha aaaa oondltira iadoga,
and thereby gained a certain insight into Uio
behavior of food in the voatrai alsmbis 'of the
tissues. It was foand, for example, that ia the
fasting state the walls of the stomach ap-
peared pale and flabby, and lay close togethot.
whereupoB some people erroaoonaly ooaeliioed that
tb« seasatisB of hanger was das to ths rabbins «l
the seats of tho stomash en each othsr. It waa
noted that whenever food was latrodaced ths sides
of th* oavitT leddenod with the stimolaled oiioala-
tion, and its ainsoalar activity was aroasad. Ax
Dr. Biiauttoat said, ttom. observations Mada on
Alexis St. Uartla, the chewed food was charmed in
tba stomach, and carried roand and roaad tho eoarsa
•f Its ourvatares. Ia this way it was tritnratod
and oxpwad to the solvent action of ths gastrin
juice which acted on th* albumiaoas aad g^aaaou
aubstaneas swallowed, until gradaaUy a milkv fitud,
known as chysse, was elaborated. Ihos was it
toand eat that ws take asnatly absat four hoars to
digest a dianar ; and it waa also discovered that
diSereat kinds of food vary much in their difrsot-
Ibittty— actable, for example, that fats and oil take
a long tune to digest whea introdaoed into ths
■tomaoh alono, bnc are mnoh mor* 8p**dlly got rii
•t by that organ if eaten with salad or vogetahU
matters.
Of all the oorloas facta abaervod by stadeats of
ths pheaomena of digestioa, however, none was
stranger than the extent to whiah emotion* were
seen to affect tbe operatians of the stoasaeh. Itfen-
tal exertions pure and simple did notsoom to retard
digestion so much as had been oosjeotarod. Yet
when assoeiatad with deep •motions, or with tnat
fretfnlaess of miad we call "w«n-v," it appoarod co
have a banetnl infinenos. As for the Aereor paasiena,
aa outbreak of them wsuld sometisses saffloe to pre-
vent tbe stomash even when most vigoroaa
from discharging its fuaetions. AnOthor aaysce
rious phenomenon nbUoed in connection with di-
gestion was the sympathetlo isflosnce exercised by
the stomach over the secretion of tho aonth.
This secretion, as is wall known, has an important
chemical action on certain oonstituent* of food,
ehauging hy a sort of feriaenting process i^rshy
matters, f*r instanoe, into sugar. In Dr. Temeuil't
•ase, wlieaevsr food was injeoted into the stomach
of bis patient " a flaw of saliva in his mouth ia pro
dacsd, in the ejection ef which a motion cariunsly
resembling chewing is remarked." In short, ^s - ^
diffsroBi part* of tho digestive apparatoa are so
linked together by aervous ooBnectiors that thoy
"svmpathus" with each other, and if one be
stlstaiatod th* rest are also exmtod. Bat, as
might be expected, there is ao coaaootioa
appareat hetwesa the nervous system of tho
stomach aad tho norvos of tasto, for it is related of
Dr. VerneaLi's patient thtft when food is put into
bis stomach, althongb his month fills wltn saliva,
he feels ao seass of flavor in the sahstanco With
which he Is f*d. Hs is only awaro if they be hot

New- York City
'Tlie South Carolina Board of State Can-
"^assers haye recognized, sometyhat late.
their mistake is aubmittins their action 'to
.ih« xeyiew and control of the Supreme
Court. la issuing its orders to a judicial
body of entirely independent juriadiction,
that court was guilty of manifest usurpa-
tiou. In consenting to argue their case he-
fcao the court, the Board of Canvassers gave
these orders an appearance of validity which
could not otherwise have been claimed for
them. The clear intention of the majority
of the Supreme Court was to do the work
of tiw Democrats at whatever sacrifice of
eonstitntional right and common justice.
There was every reason to believe that
their illegal order of yesterday in regard to
certifying the electiou of members of
the Legislature who had been elected " on
the &ce of the returns " was to be
fcllowcd by a series of orders, based upon
obviously contradictory principles, in re-
cord to refusing . certificates to Presiden-
tial Electors, who had also been elect-
ed "on the face of the returns." The
board was confronted with a perfectly in-
tenninable series of interferences with the
exercise of its powers, with the cer-
tainty of being called upon to
recognize the boldest and most impudent
methods of partisan oppression under
the rather thin guise of judicial decisions.
Jliey concluded to reassert their power of
indp.pendent action, which they oaght
never to have allowed to be called in ques-
tMo. They bare given certificates of elec-
tif in to candidates for the Legislature who
oKitained, on the face' of the returns, the
highest number of votes, in all the coun-
ties save those w^hich were the scene of
tha grossest forms of fraud and intimidation
— ^Laarena and Edgefield namely. They
haFve also issued certificates to the Hayes
Electors who were admitted to have re-
oeived.the highest number of votes, and
to all the Bepublican candidates on the
State ticket. The legal term prescribed for
ithe scissiem of the Board having expired,
they thereupon adjourned siiie die, feaving
the Democrats to squabble over the results
■atitheir leisure.
m
'The action of the Board of Canvassers
htas elicited from Mr. Wade Hampton an
Address to the people of South Carolina.
He assures them that "the daring and rev-
olntiomury act of the board can have no
legal force whatever,'.' and with what may
be variously denominated as cool efErontery
or dehcate irony, appeals to them to main-
tain, even under this latest provocation,
their character as "an orderly and law-
abiding people." Still better is the
statement, doubtless penned with his
tong,ue in his cheek, that during
tha late exciting canvass his supporters
•^nvoided even the semblance of a purpose
to disturb the public peace, or to transgress
the law." It will be seen that 'Mi. Hamp-
ton roars as gently as any sucking dove,
and considering his antecedents and his
vanished expectations, this is, doubtless,
muchtolis credit. By way of having "a
sure thiuii" en the State, he evidently traded
off Tilden votes to secure his own election,
and ao left the Presidential candidate hope-
lessly in the rear. But then, he be-
thought himself that he might
cheat the other ■. side too, and so
reinstate hinsself in.S the confidence of the
possible Administration which only needed
the State to become an actual power. Like
other too ambicious' persons, Hamptox has
fallen between two> stools, and might really
have been expected to make a more violent
«ntcry over his deplorable plight.
thrown away, thouifh from the way in
'Vfkich certain Democratic Connt>* Canvass-
ers are lingering over their work, it is toler-
ably obvious that popular feelinir is boing al-
lo\yod a chanco to tell npon the action of
tlio "honest men who ace friends of Gov.
TiLDEN." There is, however, as little rea-
son,to doubt that dno eflfect will be given
to the legal Vtote of Florida as there»is tliat
suoli vote shows a very decided Republicati
majority. ^^_^^^__^___
It is not surprising, perhaps, that Mr.
Glabkson N. Potter npholds the revolu-
tionary project which has reached the pub -
lie through the World and other channels,
known to be accessible to Mr. TiLDiiX. Mr.
Potter's extreme views as a Stato rights,
or secession Democrat cost him the nomina-
tion at Saratoga. They form, however, a
strong bond of sympathy between himself
and Mr. Th^dkn, and they are in complete
accord with the indifference to consequences
as regards the Union which is the most
notable characteristic of his published letter.
The position he takes is this : The House
of Representatives will rafuse to receive
the vote of Louisiana, if it be for Hayes,
or will receive a certificate of the election
of the Tilden Electors, signed by McEnkry.
There can, he argues, be no declaratiom of a
result by the President of the Senate, be-
cause either there will be no election, or
the Heuse will differ from the Senate and
the presiding officer as to the candidate
elected. The House, Mr. Potier contends,
will then be justified in electing a Presi-
dent, and Mr. Tiij)EN will be the man.
The reasoning by which Mr. Potikr ar-
rivesiat thi^ result is inconclusive and con-
tradictory. But the result he presents is
worthy ot notice as evidence of the direc-
tion in which the plans of Mr. Tilden's
most intimate ftiehds and advisers point,
and of the desperate measures they are pre-
pared to employ to obtain possession of
the Presidency.
With characteristic sophistry, the Demo-
cratic State Committee of Ohio, in confer-
ence with a number of representative Dem-
ocrats, have resolved that they will respect
the result of the Presidential election " as
determined by proper legal authorities,"
while, at the same time, intimating
that the action of these authorities
may be disregarded by Congress.
In assuming that the Senate and
House of Representatives are vested
either " jointly or severally " with constitu-
tional power to go behind the action of
"the proper legal authorities" chai-ged
with the declaration of the Electoral vote,
the Ohio Democrats simply assume what is
impossible of proof, and reveal the deter-
mination which they have, in common with
the rest of their party, to foment discord
while professing to desire peace.
In Florida, the Democrats appear to be
losing their temper, a pretty sore sign of
their apprehensions for the success of the
pecoliar tactics by which they have at-
tempted to save that State for Tildex. So
far as the honest canvass of votes is con-
cerned, there is no evidence that the result
will be sensibly affected whether the sift-
ing of the vote for Electors properly be-
longs to Gov. Steakns or to the State Board
of Caavaasers. The Democratic attempts

Prof. Sumner writes about his flying trip
to New-Orleans with the confidence of a
pedagogue and the passion of a partisan.
He has arrived at definite conclusions by
believing what his party associates told
him, sneering ^t what his party opponents
had to say, and coming home without tak-
ing time to get any considerable amount of
that evidence in his possession. He " found
no sentiment of disunion among the men
he Diet." He * means, we . presume,
jthat he found no expression of such
a sentiment. He does not seem
to perceive that his character of amateur
reporter, expected to tell all he saw, made
any difference in the talk of the gentle-
men he encountered. He found nosentiment
in favor of a "solid South," and "no am-
bitions to be satisfied at Washington."
This is a rhetorical piece of ambiguity
which may mean nothing, and cannot mean
much. The next session of Congress will
show us better than Prof. Sumner can,
whether the South is " solid." He " found no
hostUity to negyo suffrage. People did not
seem to care about it, or if they did, they
approved of it." This affords a very fair
test oif how much Mr. Su.mnee'8 impres-
sions are worth. Why did he not tell us
that the Southern whites were the authors
of the enfranchisement of the blacks, and
that it is only due to the Kuklux and shot-
gun policy of the infamous Republicans
that negro suffrage does not work more
smoothly t ^^^^^^^^^^^^
THE STATUS AND THE PRESIDEN-
TIAL VOTE.
The choice of Presidential Electors being
in effect the choice of President, the pre-
sumption would seem to be in favor of uni-
form care, if not of a uniformity of methods,
in the course prescribed by the various
States. The provisions of the Constitution
upon the subject being singularly defective,
and Federal legislation being necessarily in-
adequate because of the controlling power
vested in States, it might have been
supposed that the States themselves would
have aimed at some common standard
of efficiency. The returns they transmit to
Washington are absolute. Standing on the
same level, they should, tor manifest rea-
sons, be subject to checks as near as may
be equal in their effectiveness, and in the
guarantees they supply that the specific
tests provided for have been faithfully ap-
plied. In the aggregate, they represent the
national constituency, and for the purpose
of the Presidential election there should be
some approach to uniformity as regards the
conditions by which the credentials of the
State Electors are determined.
Practicallyt these requirements are not
met. That which is, theoretically, reasou-
able and right obtains the scantiest rococjui-
tion in the arrangements actually made.
There is no semblance of agreement in any
essential particular. It is only necessary
to glance at the synopsis of the laws and
usages in the various States, which we pub-
lished yesterday, to discover how much
more there is of hap-hazard than of cautious
method in many instances, and hovr dissim-
ilar they are in the means employed for pre-
venting firaud at the polls or in the prepara-
tion of the preliminary returns. ■
In at least one State, Florida, the mode
of canvassing applicable to ordinary elec-
tions is not, in terms, applicable to the
counting of votes for Presidential Electors,
the question turning upon a point of con-
struction aboat which a difference of opin-
ion may not unfairly exist. Nor is there
aB3rthing savoring of usurpation in the pre-
tension of the Gevernor, that in the absence
of specific directions to the State Canvasa-
ing Board, bearing upon the Electoral
count, the right and responsibility de-
■vai'si^ nnon him under an old law.
Indeed, one of the featores observttble
in Southern States now allied to the Democ-
racy is the concentration of power, va. this
matter of canvassing the Electoral votes, in
the liands of the Governor, and the unlim-
ited power posscssod by the dominant party
over all the machinery of the election. Thus,
iu Alabama and Arkansas, the returns are
passed to tbo Governor after little more than
a pretense of verification, and the Governor
in each case makes the count and announces
the result — with this peculiarity in Alabam a,
that if the opposing Electors have an
equal number of votes, he decides who shall
be elected. Georgia is in a similar position.
All there is of scrutiny is conducted by par-
tisan Superintendents of Election, who re-
port to the Governor, who in turn ends the
business by a summary declaration of the
result. Missouri is not much better. Ken-
tucky and Tennessee confide the duty to
the Governor and Secretary of State;
Virginia to the Governor and other State
officers; West Virginia to the Governor, act-
ing on the report of Precinct Commissioners.
In Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas,
the Secretary of State makes up the returns
in the presence of the Governor or other of-
ficers. The Northern States which have
empowered the Governor and Council to act
as the final Board ot Canvassers are Maine,
Massachusetts, and New-Hampshire. New-
Jersey delegates the task to the Governor
and four or more State Senators whom he
may ap^int. Pennsylvania leaves it to the
Governor, acting on returns received through
the Secretary of the Commonwealth. The
Secretary of State, acting in the presence
of the Governor or other 'functiona-
ries, officiates in Indiana, Ohio, and
Oregon. In California he acts alone, the
Governor accepting his certificate. The
President of the State Senate holds the au-
thority in Nebraska, while in Nevada the
Chief Justice ot the Supreme Court and
Associate Justices compose the Canvassing
Board. •
The Town Clerks in Connecticut make the
returns, which are counted by the Secreta-
ry, Treasurer, and Controller. Delaware
has a Board of Canvass composed of the In-
speoters of the several hundreds into which
the State is divided, whese certificates are
examined by the Governor. Illinois, Iowa,,
and Kansas give better assurances of
good faith than most of the older States.
In Illinois, the returns made in the first
instance by the Judges of election are in
each county revised by the County Clerk
and two Justices, and are ultimately can-
vassed by three State officers. The in-
termediate revision m Iowa is carried on by
the Board of Supervisors in each county,
whose abstracts are examined by the Gov-
ernor, Auditor and Secretary of State ; and
in _ Kansas the County Clerk and
Commissioners of the county &om the ex-
aminers, whose returns are passed upon
by the Board of Canvass. The proceedings
in Michigan and Minnesota are substan-
tially identical with these. In the State of
New-York the statements prepared by the
Inspectors go into the hands of the County
Canvassers, whose examination is the only
one made ; the duties of the Board of State
Canvassers being on their face perfunctory.
The work in Vermont is the simplest of all,
the officer presiding at the poll, and the Town
Clerk, with such Justices and Selectmen as
may be present, counting the votes; and
their returns being revised by the Clerks or
Sheriffs of the various counties.
It is obvious that the prevailing rule
limits the labors of the Boards of Can-
vassers to the merely clerical act of count-
ing the returns and examining the certifi-
cates attached to them, With the excep-
tion of Louisiana and South Carolina, not
one of the States imposes upon its board the
duty of making the final count what it
ought to be — a scrutiny determining
the legality as well as the clerical
accuracy of the returns, and opening
up all questions pertaining to the vote,
its validity, and the conditions affecftng it.
The peculiar circumstances of these States
no doubt render necessary precautionary
measures which in States more happily
situated might be superfluous. The meas-
ures, moreover, depend for their efficacy
upon the political complexion of the State
Government at the time the canvass is
made. Of what avail would be the Louisi-
ana law in Alabama, Arkansas, or Missis-
sippi, with all torms of local authority con-
trolled by the Democratic Party ?
A constitutional amendment seems de-
sirable for the attainment of two distinct
but not dissimilar ends ; one securing uni-
formity of method in the preliminary stages
of the count of the Electoral vote ; the other
providing for the organization of some final
board in each State, charged with the task
of dealing judicially with the vote, and in-
vested with all the authority required to
counteract intimidation or fraud, and to
make the returns transmitted to Washing-
ton as indisputable as they now are fiual.
district for two terms, and the custom of
the party required that he should give way
to a candidate from Orleans County. The
rule Is not a good one, but it was of less im-
portance that it should be corrected than
that the dis.rict should be carried by
the Republicans. Moreover, the nomi-
nation of Mr. Davy and his defeat
have really only strengthened the rule.
Hereafter, any one wishing to ignore it will
be pointed to the present instance as an un-
answerable precedent. In the second place,
Mr. Davy had made enemies by his use of
patronage. We are not prepared to say
whether the changes he brought about were
for the better or not, but the effect in the
canvass was another proof of the inherent
weakness imposed on a party by the spoils
system. We believe that, in the long run,
the control of patronage by the representa-
tives of any party costs far more than it
comes to.
In the Thirty-first District, made up of
Niagara, Genesee, and Wyoming Counties,
Gen. Hayes had a majority of 1,989, which,
but for the dissensions over Congressman,
would have been much larger. It elected a
I Democratic Representatives. The princi-
pal cause was the same as in the Thirtieth
District. Mr. Hoskins insisted on standing
for a third term against the custom of the
district and a powerful opposition. He se-
cured the regular nomination, and under-
took to defy the discontent, which extended
throughout the district. A second Repub-
lican candidate was put in the field. Those
engaged in . the unseemly quarrel were
warned repeatedly that they would end by
giving the district to the Democrats, and
they did so. It is difficult to speak with
patience of such an affair. Neither candidate
had the good of the country at heart. Both
were guilty of a selfishness and a smallness
which made them unworthy to represent
the Republican Party, which does not wish
to gratify any one's ambition or resentment,
but to advance principles of importance to
the whole nation. We can. have respect for
a man, howeVer inconsistent he may be, or
however unreasonable he seems, who goes
fairly into the ranks of his former oppo-
nents, and gives up whatever advantages
his political associations have conferred ;
but we have none for men Who push their
personal interests at the expense of a great
cause, and that in one of the most serious
crises of its history. There is something
rotten in the machinery of a district where
such an occurrence can take place.
In ' Erie County Gen. Hayes had
a majority of 777, but the Demo-
crats succeeded in giving the district which
the county comprises to an inferior candi-
date. We do not pretend to explain in de-
tail the causes of this remarkable and un-
fortunate result. Mr. Spaulding, the Re-
publican candidate, is a gentleman of high
character and marked ability, and had had
much and valuable experience. He would
have made one of the best Representatives
the party could havechesen, and he has
been defeated by an obscure lawyer, who
would never have been named by the Demo-
crats had there been the slightest apparent
probability of their carrying the district.
The fact is certainly to be deplored.
New- York, however, it should be said, is
not the only State in which the importance
of the Congressional contest was not borne
in mind. Taking one with another, the
Congressional nominations of the Republi-
can Party were not strong, and the party
representation in the next House bids fair
to be weaker in point of brains and energy,
as it certainly is in point of experience and
parliamentary skill, than it is in the pres-
ent one. Several of the ablest leaders have
retired. What the new men will amount
to no one can now say ; but it is only too
obvious that the party has not done itself
justice in the canvass just closed.
WRY WE ARE TO HAVE A DEMO-
CRATIC HOUSE.
A few days ago it looked as if the Demo-
crats might have lost the House of Repre-
sentatives. It is now beyond doubt that
they have a majority in that body, but only
a very small one, not exceeding ten. There
are three districts in this State which ought
to have elected Republican Representatives,
but which have returned Democrats. Had
these three districts elected Republicans,
the present Democratic majority would have
been but six, and should the Republicans
carry New-Hampshire, as they are morally
certain to do, in the Spring, the Democratic
majority would have been reduced to one.
This is a small margin. When we remem-
ber that a Republican majority iu the next
House, however small, would have laid to
rest all the reckless and violent boasting of
the Democrats regarding the result of the
count next February, and would have given
the country a harmonious and complete Re-
publican administration, capable of bringing
immense benefit to the country during the
next two years, it \^ worth while looking at
some of the causes of our failure.
The three New- York districts to which
we have referred, are the Thirtieth,
Thirty-fir^t, and Thirty-second, gener-
ally designated as the Monroe, Niagara,
and Erie Districts. The Thirtieth Dis-
trict is made up of the counties of Mon-
roe and Orleans, and gave Gan. Hayes 2,G9i)
majority, but gave its seat in the House to
Mr. IIaki, a Liberal Republicnn nominated
by the Democrats. Two errors cost us this
district. Mr. DavV! of Monroe, the Ri>
pubiiean oanditlate. had renresentrtil the
THE BOARDING-HOUSE RAVAGEE.
j On the whole, it is a good thing that she
has been caught. Whether Mrs. Cassel-
MAN (with many aliases) is " crazy on the
subject of being highly connected" does
not materially affect this general state-
ment. To be sure, there is something in the
sight of a woman in distress, whether as
Juliet in the tomb of the Capulets, or an ad-
venturess in the toils of the Police, which
touches the manly heart. A bad man,
straggling with fate in the person of a de-
tective officer, has nothing about him to
recommend him to the mercy of the casual
ohsoryor. But the stoutest masculine spirit
softens whenever the wickedest vromau
comes to genuine grief. Nevertheless, when
Ave consider that confidence is one of the
principal foundation-stones of society, we
must say that it is well that Mrs. Casskl-
MAN, with all her aliases, has been caged at
last. Society, as we have said, is built on
confidence. Roughly speaking, one might
add that society is to a large extent built
of boarding-houses. Here was an enchant-
ress, a sort of female Cagliostro, who
was engaged in the business of ravaging
boarding-houses. It follows, therefore, that
sheVas ravasing society. She was a public
enemy. So long as this dreadful person
was at large, suspicion lurked around the
numberless hospitable boards where middle-
aged ladies, who had seen better days, dis-
pense mild coffee, baker's bread, and all the
other well-known comforts of a home. When
the exploits of Mrs. Cassklman', as we
shall call her, were printed in Tue Timks,
many an anxious landlady mounted guard
over inmates of her house who had hereto-
fore been free from taiut of suspicion. Dis-
trust at once entered into the happy home
of the regular boarder, and that feeling of
uuoasincss and suspense which unsettles
everything from a Presidential contest to a
boarding-house coffee-pot, pervaded three-
fourths of our best societify.
But now that the boarding-house fiend,
the disturber of so much semi-domestic
peace, is enmeshed, it is probable that con-
fidence, a plant of slow growth, will take
root ar^ain. And, since this must be so, we
may be permitted to admire the genius
which planned and executed such a long,
successful, and brilliant campaign. Of
course, the pitcher that often goes to the
well is broken at last, and the most accom-
plished of swindlers is finally caught. But
this particular adventuress has for years
carried on her nefarious trade with impuni-
ty. When arrested, she had in her pocket a
newspaper clipping iu which some of her
earlier successes were narrated, These may
have been among the first of her adventures.
But who shall tell how many confiding
landladies, dazzled with her aristocratic
preteuaions. had meantime fallen victinis t.«i
^SirmN^'^ -
her arts t Here and there an extreme case
ot outrage has come to light, but nobody
will ever know of the scores of boarding-
house keepers who have meekly buried
their losses from public view. If Mrs.
CA»-.y;.MaN had been a more super-
ficial ct.ident of huinau nature, she
would have dressed herself in fash-
ionable and gorgeous raiment when
she invaded the "swell" boarding-houses,
and engaged the most costly apartments.
But she would have instantly been an object
of suspicion. Any woman whe can buy, beg,
or steal good clothes can wear them as if
she were born in the purple; it is the femi-
nine instinct. But the' instinct which de-
fends one woman against another rises up
in alarm when that other comes without
baggage, references, or money, but richly
clad, and demands food and lodging on the
strength of high connection. Mrs. Cassel-
MAN baffled suspicion by appearing in a garb
which was plain almost to shabbiness. She
depended wholly on her specious represen-
tation of herself. She knew her sex too
well to imagine for a moment that fine
clothes could give her a particle*of advan-
tage. On the other hand, if she had, under
these circumstances, applied for " a hall
bed-room, third floor, back," or some more
modest apartment, she would have been
shown the door with the most frigid of
boarding-house politeness.
There is no reason to suppose that people
who keep boarding-houses are destitute of
ordinary shrewdness. In fact there is a
popular impression that they are above the
average business person in keenness of per-
ception. Certainly, the most experienced
of them can carve a chicken into more
parts than either Cuvier or Brillat-
Savarin ever dreamed ot. And if any man
wants to see how thinly a handful of curled
hair can be spread out and yet wear the
title of mattress, he knows where to find
that unpleastng but ingenious contrivance.
Nevertheless, upon such an Intelligent,
acute, and shrewdly -tr^ned profession
as this which we refer to, the board-
ing-house ravager descended with a cer-
tainty of success. We have had Polish Counts
and French Marquises who married rich
men's daughters, and who tamed out to be
barbers in disguise, with a superfluous stock
of cheek in reserve. We have had adven-
turesses who tearfully begged trom door to
door for money enough to bury an imagin-
ary infant, and who waxed rich on the con-
tributions of the sympathetic. And even
young gentlemen of sanctimonious appear-
ance have taken board and lodging
from some confiding landlady for a
night, and have flitted before day with the
shawls, pantaloons, and jewelry of the
boarders. But this is the first time, so far
as we are aware, that sheer audacity has
been able to deceive worldly-wise women
with stories of possessions and aristocratic
connections which never existed. Mrs.
Casselman's horses and servants that
were always coming and never came, her
baggage that existed only in her imagina-
tion, her remittances that were checks on
the bank of fancy, and her relationships that
were marvels of invention, are abundantly
imitated after all, for thousands of people are
living from day to day on their talent for
keeping up appearances.
THE LATEST " ENOCH ARDEN."
When Mr. Tennyson -wrote that popular
poem ''Enoch Arden," he probably meant
well enough, but he ought to have foreseen
the inevitable consequences of his act.
From that day to this no husband has ever
returned home from a temporary absence
and found his wife in the possession of a
substitute without having his domestic diffi-
culties paraded in the local newspapers, and
himself described as "another Enoch Ar-
den." In this country, especially, the an-
nual crop of Enoch Ardens has been enor-
mous.
" Oat of the golden, remote, wild West,
Wtiere the aea without shore i«" —
a vast procession of wandering hus-
bands is continually winding its way
homeward to Eastern hearth-stones,
where other and superfluous husbands
are comfortably trespassing. One would
naturally think that no really chival-
ric husband, after going alone to California
and residing for a dozen years in a land
flowing with bowie-knives and revolvers,
without once writing to his deserted wife,
would dream of Beturuing home to earn the
title of "another Enoch Arden." Yet the
wandering American husband always comes
back at last. He may be cast upon the
waters in a Pacific Mail steam-ship, but in-
stead of being drowned or burned he is sure
to return after many years. And when he
does return, so potent is the influence of
Mr. Tennyson's preposterous teachings
upon him that he always tries to surpass the
original Enoch Arden in unprofitable
idiocy.
It will be remembered that Mr. Tenny-
son's hero, after spending several years on
a lonely island, in the unworthy occupation
of writing doleful blank verse to the grieved
but patient monkeys, finally took passage
for England, and returned to the cottage
where he had left his wife. Most men in
his circumstances would have gone boldly
to the front door, and, after tenderly em-
bracing their wives, would have asked
where on earth their slippers had been hid-
den, and whether they were ever to have
any supper. Arden, however, preferred to
look through the dining-room windows,
and to gaze upon 'the apparent felicity of
his* wife's new husband, and to make a
rough estimate of the number of new chil-
dren who infested the house. After this
disreputable proceeding he withdrew from
the window, rolled on the vegetables in the
back garden, and finally wont away to a
cheap boarding-house, where he died on a
suspicious-looking cot-bedstead, after hav-
ing told his landlady his true name, and
thus made it certain that his wife's matri-
monial mistake would become the theme of
universal gossip.
Absurd as this poor creature's conduct
was, Mr. Tennyson and the dramatists who
have fitted the story lor the stage have con-
vinced nearly all wauderLug husbands that
they ought to do likewise. When the Amer-
ican Enoch Aidcn returns from Califor-
nia to Oshkosu, ha does not, indeed, descend
to the meanness [ of surreptitiously gazing
througli the back .window, but he enters
his house stealthily and under cover of
night, and creates a wanton and usel ss de-
gree of embarrassment in the family. ^ The
wife hurriedly sends both kinds of children
tr. \\aA. ittot thav (ihonld ask troublesome
questions, and then burstb into tears to
avoid taking an active part in the ensuing
conversation between the two husbands.
Then the personator ot Enoch Ar^en
nobly says that, heart-broken as he is, he
will not make bis wife unhappy, but will
go forth and wander, leaving her to reflect
that she is living with a man who is not
lawfully married to her, and that her con-
duct has made her real husband an outcast
and a homeless vagabond. The next day,
after having mentioned the matter to the
editor of the Oshkofih Commercial Eagle, he
hWstens to his California wife, feeling that
he has, on the whole, proved himself as in-
telligent and noble as any Enoch Arden
on record.
Had Mr. Tennyson never written that
unfortunate poem, the wanderiflfe husband,
on learning that his original wife had pro-
moted another man to his place, would
stay away altogether, or else would re-
turn with the intention of either promptly
insisting upon his rights or of effecting a
compromise. Perhaps the latter course
would be more in keeping with the spirit
of onr institutions, provided the second
husband is possessed of money and a de-
sire to avoid scandal. If not, he should be
immediately evicted by the strong arm of
the law, and whatever improvements in
the shape of bonnets and furs he may have
put upon the disputed property during his
term of occupancy should be confiscated by
the real owner. It is safe to say that in the
absence of the Tennysonian precedent, dis-
putes between lawful and trespassing hus-
bands would invariably be settled in some
such manly and intelligible way, and the
so-called Enoch Arden who returns
home merely to make everybody uncom-
fortable, and goes away again without hav-
ing reaped the slightest benefit from his
visit, would be absolutely unknown.
The dawn of a better day is at last
heralded by the able conduct of a wander-
ing husband who returned to Boston last
week, and is now, mentioned by the pro-
vincial press as a ^ew and startling species
of Enoch Ardeh. This man walked
boldly into his house, and, finding an un-
necessary husband upon the premises, quiet-
ly sent for a policeman, had the intruder
removed to the sidewalk, and then, putting
on the abandoned slippers of his rival,
calmly sat down to enjoy his cigar and the
evening paper. She shed no tears, and he
upbraided no one ; he merely took pos-
session of his own wife and furniture, and
rid himself of the superfluous husband in
the simplest possible way. The contrast
between this man's prompt and efficient
course and the preposterous conduct of the
usual Enoch Arden is so manifestly
creditable to the former, that it is to be
hoped that hereafter the influence of Mr.
Tennyson and the number of Enoch
Arden's imitators will steadily decrease.

The first United Stittea Seniite which met iuk>
dor the present Constitotloa did not have a

until April 6, 1789. These entries on that day
appear in the reoord :
"Tbe credentials of tbe tBembers present be

proceeded by ballot to tho choice of a Presi-
dent, for the sole purpose ot opening and eounf

After eleetins: John Laned<m Presidoti iA

6'rdered— That Mr. Ellsworth inform 13i«
House of Representatives that a qtiomra of tbe
Senate is formed ; that a President is elected
for the sole purpose of opening {he eertifieaUa emi
counting the votes of the Electors of the several
States in the choice of a President end Vice
President of the United States ; and that tbm
Senate is now rea<Iy, in the Senate Chamber,
to proceed in the presence of the House to di*-
charge that duty, and ttiat the Senate have ap-
pointed one of their members to sit at the
Clerk's table to make a list of the^otea a* tke^
shall be declared, submittini; it to the wisdom
of the House to appoint one or mom ot their
members for a like purpose. '^ ''''^.
What action the House took is recorded tbotk
*< Mr. Madinon, £rom the House of Bepresenta-, '
tives. thus addressed the Senate : Mr. Preet-
dent : I am directed by the House ol B«pre-
sentatives to hi form the Senate that the Hoose
have agreed ihat the notifieatioBa of theelee-
tion of the President and the Vice President of
the United States should be made by such per-
sons, and in suck manner, as the SenaU skail 6a
pleased to direct,"
The Speaker and m mbeni of the House at-
tended in the Senate Chamber, tbe President of
the Senate did open and count the votes of tbe
Electors, and the Senate appointed Chi^lee
ThomsoH to notify G«orge Washington of his
election to the office of President ot the United
States. ;j7
On Feb. 13, 1793, the Electoral vote tn*
counted the second time. It was done under
the rule " that the two honses shall aaeemble in
the Senate Chamber on Wednesday next at IS
o'clock ; that one person shall be appointed a
teller, on tbe part of the Senate, to make a list
of the votes as they shall be dtdared ; that th«
result shall be debvered to tbe President of tiia
Senate, who shall announce the state of the vott
cmd tht persons elected, to tbe two houses a«>
sembled as aforesaid, which ^uilbe deemed m
declaration of the persons elected President and
Vice President, and, together with a list of the
votes, be entered on the jenmals of tbe two
houses."
There are three or four significant points in
connection with this second precedent. Ttte
rule under whieh the coimting of the vote took
place originated in the Senate, was reported
by Bnfus King, a tranter of the Constitution;
the votes were opened and read by Vice Presi-
dent Adams, although he was hunself a can^
date, and the House took no part, exoept to be
present on a notification of the Secretary of
the Senate. JoDh Adams, as he was botmd to
do under the Constitation, decku«d himself
elected Vice President of the United States.
At the next count, whieh took place unde^
similar rules, originating with the Senate, Mr.
Adams, as we are officially informed, took op
the packet of Electoral votes from the State of
Tennessee, and, alter having read the super-
scription, broke the seal, and read the ocfrtill-
cate of the election of tbe Electors. He then
gave it to the Clerk of the Senate, requesting
him to read the report of the Electors, which
he accordingly did. Here, it will be observed,
the President of the Senate, although himsell
one of the candidates fer the Presidency in a
close contest, did, with the nnanimooa ap-
proval of both houses of Congress, open the
vote and declare tbe result, which result wae
that he, John Adams, was elected President oi
tbe United States.
Tbe foikrth countmg of the Electoral voi%
took place in the Senate Chamber in the prei-
enoe of both houses, tellers being instructed to
make a list of voters, " as they shall be de-
clared." and the President of the Senate di- ,
reoted to " announce the state of the yote."
Here it will be observed that, although the
Electoral vote was so close that it was a tie
between Jetterson and Burr, no attempt was
made in this body to interfere with the Consti-
tutional functions of the President of the Sen-
ate, although that ofBoerwas Thomas Jefferson,'
one of the two contesting candidates lor Presi-
ident of the United States. Both bouses of
Congress, doubtless, had in mind the words of
Charles Pinckney, one of the ablest framers of
the Constitution, who, on March 2S, 1830, said;
"To give to Congress, even when assembled in
convention, a right to reject or admit the
(Electoral) votes of States, wou^d have been so
gross and dangerous an absurdity as the
iramers of the Constitution never c6nld have »
been guilty of."
In conformity to the foregoing precedent^
the proceedings in conn action with counting
the Electoral vote were conducted in 1805, and
when Madison was chosen in 1809 and in 1813.
" On Feb. 12, 1817, when Monroe was elected, a
departure from precedent occurred, and a re-
sult of an instructive and a significant natu^ .
followed The oonveation assembled toooont
the Electoral vote in the House of Bepresenta-
tives, with the President of the Senate seated
on the right of tbe Speaker of the House.
While the count was proceeding, Mr. Taylor,
of New- York, arose, and addressing the Speak-
er of the House, objected to the vote of In-
diana being read and received, on the grotmd
that Indiana was not a State in the Union
The Speaker promptly informed Mr. Tayloi
that he was out of ordei;^ that the two bouses
were assembled to be present at the counting
of the Electoral vote, and that while so acting
in joint meeting they could consider no propo-
sition nor perform any business not prescribed
by the Constitution. As Mr. Taylor seemed
disposed to insist on his point, a Senator pro*
posed that the Senate withdraw in order to ,
give the House opportunity for consultatiOB. v
The House accordingly did confer, and the re-
sult of that conference was that a motioa tc
indefinitely postpone Mr. Taylor's resolution
was agreed to "almost unanimouslr." The
joint convention reassembled, the count pro-
ceeded, and tbe vote of Indiana wae counted
b.y the President of the Senate, and the result,
as usual, declared by him, without further in-
terruption.
These are precedents enough te show that
tha mode of counting the Electoral vote has
been in essential respects abpolutely unifoms.
It could not have been otherwise, when we re
fleet that the Electoral College is a constitu-
tional body, over the election and qualifications
ol whose members Congress has ro more con-
trol, under the Constitution, than the Electoral
College has over the membership of Congress
On this point we have the weighty authority of
Charles Pinckney, of South Carolina, whosjud
in Congress Jan. 23. 1800 : " He remembered
very well that in the Federal Convention
great care was used to provide for the election
of President of tl»* Ilnitod StaJbaa. ij><?ofM»«>A-^t

Inf^Pebruary, 1821, James Monroe was de-
clared elected rreaident for a second term.
John Gaillord, a 'JMnbHi^an, being Resident
pro tempore of the Senate, and desiring to
bo i^iieved from the responsiblilitv of passing
upon; the validity ot th« vote of Missouri, the
two houses of Congress adopted the foUow-
^S joint role to 'oo used in oouatmg the
Electoral vote:
Be$olved, That the two houses shall re-
assemble in the Chamber of the House of
fiepresentatives on Wednesday next, at 12
o'clock, and the President ot the Senate shall
be the presiding officer; that one person be ap-
pointed a teller on the part of the Senate, to
malce a list of the votes as they shall oe de-
clared; that the result shall be delivered to
the President of the Senate, who shall an-
nounce the state of the vote and the persons
elected to the two houses assembled as afore-
aaid; which shall he deemed a declaration of
' f
the persons elected President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, and, together with
! a list of the votes, be entered on the Journals
of the two houses.
Seaolved, That if any objection be made to
the votes of Missouri* and the counting or
omitting to count which shall not essentially
change the result of the election, in that case
they shall be reported by the President of the
Senate in the following manner: "Wore the
vote of Missouri to be counted, the result
would be, for A B. for President of the
United States, votes ; if not counted, for
A B, as President of the United States,
votes; but in either event, A B is elected
President of the United States;" and in the
game maimer for Vice President.
It will be noticed that the long-established
Ibrm is followed in the first resolution, which
passed both houses without a dissenting vote,
aa reported by Mr. Clay. The second resolu-
tion was adopted, after much opposition, to
bridge over a present difficulty and prevent
discussion in the joint meeting to count the
vot& It ia a precedent in a case whe? e "the
ciounting or omitting to count " shall not " es-
sentiallv change the resolt of the election,"
and in such a case solely and only. Under the
ralee adopted in this case, the President oi the
Senate proceeded to open the certificates of the
Electors of the State of Missouri. While pro-
ceedings were in progress, Mr. Floyd, of Vir-
ginia, addressed . the Chair, and inquired
whether the votes of Missotin were or were
notconnted. Cries of "Order ! order ! " came so
loud as to drown his voice. Mr. John Ban-
dtdph rose and was addressing the Chair, when
londcriea of "Order! order! " resoundedfrom all
parts of the hall. The Chair declared Mr.
Bandolph out of order and invited him to take
bis seat. Mr. Floyd demanded to know wheth-
er he was in order, and the Chair informed
him he was not, " the only btisiness being at^
tiiat present time that prescribed by the rule."
Mr. Bandolph again addressed the Chair, but
'Was requested to take bis seat. No debate
whatever was permitted, and the vtiCe of Mis-
souri was announced by the President of the
Senate, in accordance with the instructions he
bad asked from Congress.
In 1829 and in 1833 the Electorallvotes were
counted in the hall of the House of Hepresenta-
tives, the only deviation from the long-pre-
Bcr^^ied form being the appointment of two
tellers on the part of the House. But the au-
thority of these tellers extended only to mak-
big a list of the votes " aa they shall be de-
clared," the President ot the Senate being re-
quired then, as on all other similar occasions,
^declare or announce " the persons elected."
In 1837 the question arose concerning the
legality of the electoral vote of Michigan, and
was disposed of in precisely the same way as
the question about the vote of Missouri in 1821.
The ground of objection in each case was that
the l^ate in question had not been technically
admitted into the Union. The most significant
fact in connection with this count of the vote
fai that a Select Joint Committee, composed of
Messrs. Thomas, Cambreleng, Reed, Connor,
and Lyony of the House, and Messrs. Grundy,
Clay, and Wright, of the Senate, reported that
they did not ieel themselves authorized to re.
eommend the rejectiop of the Electoral votes
of five Electors who were Deputy Postmasters,
' *• the chief reason Leinc; that it would be a very
delicate power to be exercised on '^the part of
Congress to determine upon the qualification of
Electors of President and Vice President of the
United States."
The committee distinctly intimated that it
"belonged to the Electoral College itself to
fodge of the quaMoations of its own mem-
beia."
In 1841 Mid 1845, the votes were counted in
the ball of the House under the old-time form
of joint rule. The votes were to be put m the
form of a list by the tellers, " as they shall be
ledared," and the President ol the Senate was
required to " announce the state of the vote
uid the persons elected."
At the meeting of Congress to count the vote,
on the 14th day of February, 1849, Jefferson
Davis happened to be teller on the part of the
Senate, and George M. Dallas Vice President
of the United States. When the two Houses
bad assembled, Mr. Dallas used this significant
language :
"In obedience to law, the Senate and House
of Eepresentatives have assembled on the pres-
rat occasion, so that I may fulfill the duty en-
. loined upon me by the Constitution."
In answer to a suggestion from .Mr. Stephens
about abridging the reading of the returns,
the Vice Presridenl stated that no motion -was
in order, and that no other mode of proceed-
ing could be adopted but that pointed out by
the Constitution of the United States.
In 1853, the proceedings were in the usual
form, the Senate taking action first. Mr. Huu-
ler, of Virginia* was teller for the Senate.
No business whatever was transacted, except
(onntini! the Electoral vote, this being the day,
\a the words of Senator George W. Jones,
*fixed by the Constitution for that purpose.''
In 1861, 4Ir. Lyman Trumbull, who was
Chaiman of the Joint Committee on counting
the votes, said, with reference to the rule re-
ported: "It is the usual form of canvassing
the votes for President and Vice President
(rhich has been adopted since the foundation
of the government." Vice President Breckin-
ridge, high authority in some quarters, referred
to "the two Houses being assembled in pur-
auanee of the Constitution," implying by neces-
sary implication, that, if not assembled, it
would be in violation of the Constitution. The
result of the figuring of the tellers was re-
ported to the Vice President through the rank-
tag teller, Senator Trumbull.
Senator Wade moved to dispense with the
reading ot everything in the eertificates of the
Electors, except the result of the vote, at the
foint meeting of Congress m 1865, but Mr. S. S.
Cox reminded Mr. Wade and the Chair that it
■ was not competent for this joint oonventiou to
have any motion submitted, ia which opinion
tiie Chair at once concurred. i
have called attention compel these irresistible
eonclnsions :
1.' That both Houses of Congress have as-
sembled in order to be present at the counting
of the Elector^ votes the second Wednesday
in February after each Presidential election as
required by the Constitution, and that neither
House has once absented itself smce the founda-
tion of the GoverUment.
2. That the presiding officer of the Senate
has invariably opened the certificates of the
Electors, counted or caused to be counted tho
Electoral votes, announced the State of the
vote and the persons elected, and that an-
nouncement or declaration has been deemed
the official evidence of the persons elected, both
by Congress and by the Country.
3. That when tollers have been apppinted
on the part of the House, as has somotimes
been done, theteller of the Senate, taking pre-
cedence in rank, has been the medium of
communication between the clerks or tellers
and the President of the Senate.
4. That new jomt committees and new joint
rules have been adopted, or old rules re-
adopted at each quadrennial joint meeting' of
Congress when assembled to witness the count-
ing of the Electoral votes,
5. That should no joint rules be agreed upon,
to follow the usual and customary mode of
procedure would be in conformiiy to parlia-
mentary law by which such joint conventions
and all similar bodies are governed.

Havana, Nov. 21, via Key West, Nov. 22.—
Nothing whatever is known about the plans of Gren-
eral in uhief Mariinez-Campos regarding the cam-
paign. It appears that the Government purposes
to keep bis movements and plana aa secret as possi-
ble, and some people even assert that the General
has warned the newspapers not to publish anything
without his special permission. He has thus far
uatablisbed no he.id-qaarierg, but is paying firiniz
visits in the towns called Ciuco Villas, where
it is reported that he is sammarily deal-
ing with suspected aad convicted ■ insur-
gents. Beport says he has ordered quite a
number to be shot in Cienfuegos. He expects to
clear the Ginco VlUaa of rebels in two months, and
will then pursne them beyonnd La Frocha. Last
Thursday, while Gen. ilartinez-Campos was on a
railway train, ronnintr between Sazua and Las
Cruoei, the car containlnt: the whole equipage
wa» totally destroyed by flie. The cause
of the fire is not given. The car alao
contained ammunition, which exploded, bat, it is
said, no damage was done. In this city the arrest
and imprisonment ot saspected Cnbans continue.
Somrf' of the arrested parties are lawyers; the
greater part, however, are workmen.

TRUSTED BY ENGLISH JOURNALS AND
ACCEPTKD IN GOOD FAITH I3T THE
BRITISH MEMBER OF THE COJRFERENCE
— IHK SERVIAN MINISTRY — PROPOSED
CONSTITUTION IN TURK KY— MINISTER-
IAL RESPONSIBILITY INCLUDED IN IT.
London. Nov. 22.— The Pall Mail Gazette,
Standard, and other Conservative iournaU, express
complete distrust of the Czar's pacific assurances,
as expressed to Lord Loftus, the British Ambassa-
dor to St. Petersbarg, in his intervieiv with his
Majesty, Nov. 2.
The Havas news agency in Paris reports that the
Mnrquis i.t Salisbury, in oimference with the Duke
Decazes, expressed confidence In the siucorlty of
the Czar's specific declaraUpns, and said he was
going to Constantinople with no preconceived in-
tentions, but with an ardent desire to preserve
peace. He was disposed to agree to all propositions
pendine to ameliorate the condition of the Christ-
ians in Turkey.
A St. Petersburg dispatch says: "The Czar, in
receiving vaiions diatingaished personages daring
the last few days, bas stated that he wbnld still
hop(j for the maintenance of peace, but considered
Hussia's honor and his own pledced to obtain the
autonomy which he had demanded from the Porte.
M. Mannovich, the Servian Minister of the In-
terior, has been intrusted by PriucB Milan with a
special mission to the Czar, and will come here as a
confidential agent of the Piipee. It is expected
that M. Marinovich will sucked in re-establishing
cordial relations between Bussia and Servia, and
will ^Iso agree with the Czar abont the conditions
of Servia's participation in war should the confer-
ence fail to brine peaos." ■ <
LeNcrd, the Busslan organ, in Brns'^els, con-
firms the substantial accuracy of the Russian pro-
gramme published in the Vienna PolUical Corres-
pondence. Le Nord adds that this programme la
not absoldfely inflexible, particularly as regards
pcoupat]on of Turki.-<h territory.
A dispatdi from Semlin announces that tbe Ser-
vian Mini8te~rs have/tendered their resignations.
The reason is not known. Piiaoe Milan has not
yec accepted the resignations, but the Ministers
persist in their determluation.
Lloyd's agent at ^ertch telegraphs that the tor-
pedoes in that barbor are placed loose near tbe
battery, and a enn-boat has been station to conduct
vessels through Keiich Straits. Kone should enter
an guided.
Constantixoplk, Nov. 2S/— The commission ap-
pointed to frame a new Turkish Constitution have
eoncluded their labors and a draft of the doonment
has been sent to the Grand Vizl^. It is utated that
the new Constitution will be promulgated and put
in force before the meeting of the conference of the
powers. Edhem Pasha, the Turkish Ambassador
at Berlin — not Midhat ^sha, as oreviously report-
edi|— has been appointed lecond Plenipotentiary of
Turkey at the Conference.
Cologne, Nov. 22.— The AlUgemeine Zeitung re-
ports that the proposed Turkish Constitution es-
tablishes a ministerial responsibility and the equal
lights of persons of all nationalities.
London, Nov. 23. — The Post's Berlin special says
Sussia has proposed to the other Continental
Powers a general prohibition of the exportation of
horses by all countries.
The Times Berlin correspondent says the unpre-
pared state of the Bussian arsmals can
be imagined from the report of the St.
Petersbnrg Yedomosti that the 100,000,000 roubles
which the Gov«rnment is now raising, have al-
ready been coosnmed by mill tary expenses. The
Bussian Government has concluded contracts for
supplies of provisions to be delivered at Bucharest
and Tnrtacha, iu B3nmania.
A Belgrade telegram tb thbJ^imes says the Ser-
.vian War Department daclarei ihat the Servians
will claim in the nroceedings for the
set.lemeat of the line i of demarkation
several hundred villajes on jTui-kish territory.
These oxa$;getated demands, taken in conjunction
with the fact that Buiisia recently made repre-
sentations in very threatening language, con-
cerning alleged breacbas of tbe armistice, excite
su.tpicion at Constantinople ttiat a pretext is being
sought to bring about a collisioa whenever suitable.

of less merit than U'lual, fir it embraced no work of
any magnitude, except, perhaps, one of Chopin's
fantasiHS whieh, too, would have been of slight
interest but for the pianist's expressive and
vigorous performance. Mme. Essipofl' played,
in addition to this number, Rubinstein's " JSar-
oarole," in which tne depth and purity of
her tone were particularly coSsptcuous ; a tuneful
nienuet by Sotmbrrt ; Sohumaun's fanciful 'and
almost vocal " Vogel als Prophet," and a scherzo by
Chopiu, in which the power and brilliancy of the
artist's o!icecution, as well as her maichless grace
of vmanner were noticeable ; she finibhed
the evening with a splendid lendeiiug of
Lifzt's "Bigoletto" quartet, which composition,
however, BOtinds lather trifling iu concerts of this
order. M. Vivien repeated L6onard'8 violiu
concerto, and a pretty "Lfiaende "..by Mr. Ferdinand
DuIcKon, and Mrs. I.iOuise Oliver, a lady with a
small voice aud a somewhat Imperfect style, gang
twice. ■

Albany, Nov. 22. — The 'nveetigation of the
charges against Mr. Baton, Superintendent of the
new Capitol, was resumed this afternoon before

banded together properly'. He also said the second-

WHEREABOUTS OF THE FRANKLIN.
THE SHIP SEEN ABtJUT SEVENTY MILES
FROM SANDY HOOK ON TUESDAY MORN-
ING— SUE IS EXPECncD HERE TO-DAY.
The United States frigate Franklin, which
left Vigo, Spain, several weeks ago, >»ith the fu-
gitive " Boss " Tweed on board, and which was last
heard from at St. Thomas, where she had put in foi
supplies, and which port, It is supposed, she left on
the nth Inst., has not yet arriveo at this port. A
vessel was reported to have been seen ^t Sandy
Hook on Satnrday last, which was supposed to have
been the Franklin, but it is now positively asserted,
by those whose opinion on the subject is entitled to
consideration, that it could not have been her.
There remains how no doubt, however, that the
Franklin has been seen in the near vicinity of New-
York, and that she will undoubtedly reach this port
wlthinthenext twenty-four hours. Capt. Crowell,of
the steamer Gulf Stream, of the Clyde Line of steam-
ers, which ply between this City and Wilming-
ton, N. C. which vessel arrived at this port at
9 o'clock yesterday morning, reports that at 10
o'clock on Tuesday morning, when aoont twenty or
twenty-five miles south-east of Absecom light-house,
on the New-Jersey coast, about seventy miles from
Sandy Hook, he sighted a vessel, abont four miles
away, on his starboard bow, apparently lying to
under shortened aail. The vessel was displaying
her signals, and 9,1 Capt. Crowell had no signal-book
on boarC, he could not answer them, ana so he
ordered bis vessel's head to be turned in the direction
of the stranger, and steamed alongside of her, until
he was within speaking distance. There was not
mnoh wind blowing at the time, but there was a
heavy sea rolling — what sailors call an old sea.
Capt. Crowell told a Times reporter yesterday after-
noon that there is no mistake ab,oat it, and that the
vessel be saw was certainly the^Franklin. He was
also within speaking distance, and the officer who
answered his salutation from the deck of the Frank-
lin, replied, in answer to his inquiry alter the
welfare cf those on board, that everything
was a)I right. He said tbe Franklin had
the appearance of beiog in the very best con-
dition, and everything about her seemed to be uU
right. Her machinery was ' not working at
tbe time, and she was lying to, under tore-and-att
sails, just enough to keep her steady, Capt. Crow-
ell said that hia own vessel, the Gulf Streau3, was
disabled, by the loss of two blades of ner nropeller,
having eDconutered a snag before leaving the Cape
Fear Biver. He said that he had^eeu nine days
coming from Wilmington, N. C. ..^pieft there cue
week ago last Tuesday morning, and had experi-
enced a great deal of heavy weather on the pasHage.
On Thursday last he encountered a
heavy gale, and was obliged to put into Hampton
Buads for safety, wbere he remained seventy
hours, leaving there on Sunday afternoon. At 12
o'clock Monday night be made Barnegar Light-
house, where hn encountered another heavy north-
east gale, and was compelled to put to sea. About
1 o'clock Tuesday morning the weather moderated,
aud the Gulf Stream was agaia headed toward|Mew-
York, where she arrived, as before siated, at 9
o'clock yesierday morning. Capt. Crowell stated
that bis vessel, owing to her disabled condition, was
not able 10 make more than f;>ur miled an hour
afi:er he left the Franklin, and that the latter ves-
sel, if her Captain had desired, could easily have
beaten him. He said that the officer asked him who
was elected President, and he replied that he dii
not know, as it had not been settled when he left
nort. He said, also, that at first he was tempted to
ask if they had Tweed on board, but that, ou second
thought, be conoluded that it would perhaps be
considered dn imoertinent question, and, besides,
that there might oe some hing growing out of it
hereafter.
A Times reporter last evening visited the Brook-
lyn Navy-yard tor the purpose of obtainlug from
Commodore Nicholson potitive information
aa to whether the officers if the' Frank-
lin were sailing under any orders which
would have a ttjudency to delay her arrival
at this port. Commodore Nicholson replied, posi-
tively, that no such orders existed, that the Frank-
lin bad been ordered to New-Yoik, and that she
wcald certaiul.y come here as suon as she could gee
here. He said that according to tbe most trust-
worthy reports she did not leave St. Thomas until
Nov. 11, and that she w<t8 probalily coming aloutr
under sail in order to save coal, as the department
h.id not mnch money to spend tor that pur-
pose. Commodore Nicholson said, further, that
the Franklin was bound for Norfjik, Va., and
that it was probable she wouiu not come
any further this wAy than Quarantine, unless she
was in need if supnlles. As to the time when she
would probably arrive at Quarantine the Commo-
dore said he could not even nuzard an oninion, but
he should certainly loot for her abom 12 o'clock :o-
(lay. At 12 o'clock yesterday, he said, she bad not
oeun sighted at Sandy Hook, and if she should ar-
rive there before 12 o'clock to-day, she could not
cross the bar, and therefore her arrival before tbe
time mentioned was hardly probable.

excellences. Among these I may specify the fbllow
ing:
1. It Is a marvel, almost a miracle, ot eoroAenasMon. '
Each article compresses within itself almost the en-
tiie history of the Homeric usaze of the word to which
it relates, comprising all the forms which are used la
the Iliad or Odyssey, showing it* constmction witt
other words and the shade of meaning which it bus
acquired, and either atstin* definitely how often it is
nseo in either or both the poems, or otherwise setting
forth the frequency aad variety of its occurrence.
2. The Lexicon thus constitiites a concise and yefe*
copious commentary on the poems, and that ot tbe
very best kind for the instruc tion of the stuaent, witfr
out superseding his own exertions.
3. The illustrations, nearly 150 in number, are wen
selected and are exceedingly useful, not to aay indla-
pensable, to tbe student's understaudiag of th3 im-
plements, buildings, dresa, 4ic., and manner of life in
the Homeric age.
4. The derivation of words is eoBciaely md acea-
rately given. <
5. There must h« quite a saring of time in the uss ot
such a Lexicon, so concise and yet so full iu it* exhibt-
tion of Homeric forms and uaagea.

The boys of 1876, and all succeeding generations a^
boys, will thank Mr. Cliarles C. Coffin, one of the most
popularAmericau writers for the youne folks, tor hit
new book, " The Boys of '76." It is the story of the
American Revolutionary war, told in the supposed
aUTenturesof several lads who Join tbe patriot army,
at tbe very commeocement of tbe great straggle, and
take part in all the important battles^ from the field*
of Lexington and Concord to tbe final triomph at
Torktown. The heroes of the story have, of coarse,
many adventures of their own which will not be lousd
in Hildreth or In Lossing's ' Field Book of the Revo-
lution;'but the main part or the work, such as de-
scriptions ot the battles, and the portraits of the great
men who led tbe people through defeat to victory, Itc.,
Is drawn from the best hiBtorical source, and isia
every respect as correct as the pages of tbe most
ponderous historian could give it. Tbe volume is pro>
fusely illustrated with wood-engravings. It cannot
fall to be popular with youngsters, who, as they gather
round the reading table, in the lonf evenings now
UDon us, will follow, with breathless interest, the ad-
ventures of the ' Boys of ' 76.' A better book could
not be put into their hands. They will learn irom
its pages the historv of our great struggle for freeiiom.
which will tend to deepen their love for their couAtiy,
and uuicken their devotion to liberty and the iigU>
of man." , .,.,
HARPER & BROTHEEtS will send either ot the ahtfK

IS SHE SANH OB ISSANE t
VBS.' CASSBLI^EA^'S MENTAL CONDITION —
VIKW8 OF DR. DAVID BREKES, THE
TOMBS PHYSICIAN.
Mxs. Casaelman, who was arrai^ed at the
^fasbiagton Pl«ot» Police Court on Tuesday on a
oharse of swindlinc boardias-houae keepers, "was
remanded to the Tombs on • writ of Innacr recarna-
Ole On Thursday. Dr. David Brekos, the Tombs uhy-
al&ian, lias her case under examination, and yester.
ttay memlDS he held an interriew ^ith the woman
la ber cell for the purpose of studying her appear-
uioa and peculiarities of manner and speech. He
has not, however, oome to any definite conclusion
ma to her mental condition ; bat, jadsine from ap-
pearanaes, the Doctor is of opinion that she is ra-
tional enough to knov what sba is doiuK. He will
l^eive written statement* this morning from per-
fima who haye kaown her for some years, and who
iuftve volunteered to clve her private historv more
Ailly than It is at present Known. When Dr.
Brekes shall haye learned particulars of her ante-
cedents he will form his own oondasions, based
Oh. professional and Bcleatifio tests, as to her
lesal aeconntability for ber actions. Speak-
lD(t of her ease yesterday, the Doctor said :
" she tells a very singular If not an incredible story
aboat her early life, tihe savs that she wks married
at the age o{ twelye, wh«n she was a well-developed
gruwn-ap woman, and that she was a mother at
thirteen. Her first husband, she aliegea. was thirty-
five years old when she married him. She also tells
some romantic steries connected with her voun^ier
days which. If true, prove that she is no
ordinary woman. A gentleman from 2^^ew-Jersey
waited on me yesterday, as be had reaa an accuunt
of Mrd. Casseimau's arrest in the papers. He felt
very much interested in her fate, as be has known
her for a luntc time, and is trell acqaainted with,
and a neighbor of, a gentleman whose daughter is
married to ber son. He further intormed me that
to his own knowledge she attempted not lotig ago to
buy a house in Jersey tor ?20,000, and when all pre-
liminaries were completed, and the deed regularly
made out in ber name, the bartiaiu fell tbroagh tor
the reaaan that she had no- money to give as an
eqnivalant for the property. At anotlier time she
ordered extensive stables fitted up for thoroogb-
bred horses which she claimed she owned, but her
^ ambitioB iu this case also took the lead of ber
* means. Mr. Clarke Bell, formerlv President of the
!Medice-Legal Society, bas some knowledge of her
antecedents. He ioformed me that she attempted
to purchase some vacant lots, which I believe were
his own property, buf as he does busimess on the
C. O. D. piiociple, she failed to qualitv. It is also
stated that she purokased valnaole silks at Lord &
Taylor's, and ordered them to be sent to her resi-
dence, bat when the goods reached their' sup-
posed destination there was no such person
to receive or pay for them. Xet, not-
withstanding such eccentric and irregular
coi.duct, said the Doctor, I have found her in con-
versation and appearance to be rational and cohe-
rent, and I should judse that her physioal condition
18 also sound. That she is a lady of refinement and
education and good pbysiqne cannot be denied.
Ifevertheleas, if these statements are true, it is
strong presumptive evidence that she is laboring
under the hallucination that she is wealthy— in
iaot. It would, prove that she is a monomaniac.
A. woman of her intelligenoa must know that such
a life as she has been leading is precarious and des- .
perate, and that eventaally she would be caught,
exposed, and punished. Her talents, if propurly
directed, would certainly guarantee her a decent
mode of living. She is yet comparatively young,
and her accomplishments could be honorably uiil-
/ ized in several ways. But these are only conjec-
tures, said the Doctor ; there is no calculatrng what
may be ber motives in leading such a lire. It is
bard to determine, without knowing the antece-
dents of a person, bis line of life, habits, training,
and Boeial connections, whether abnormal oonai-
tions are the result of lunacy, eccentricity, or sham-
laioe."
Dr. Brekes will make hia report on her mental
%onaitiooin a few days.

nVB FRAUDULENT SECOND MORTGAGE
BOKDS ©I" THE MtLWAUKEK AND ST.
PAUL COMPANY SOLD IN WALL STREET-
TWO PE BSONS ARRKSTED. ^
ConsiderabJ^ exoitament was oeoasioned in
Wall street yesterday forenoon by the discovery on
the market of five well-executed forged . second
mortgase bonds V>f the Milwaukee aad St. Paul
Bailread, Prairie 'du Cbien Division. Indeed, so
cleverip are these \ bonds gotten up that, on first
examination by the ^officials of the road, they were
pronounced genuine, and it was not untH a second^
and very searching investigation and examination
was had that the f<»gery was detected. Last Sat-
xirday afternoon Warren A. Herrick, a card pub-
lisher, doiue buainess at ^o. 20 Park place,
oaUed upon Mx. Bates, of the firm of
Bates & Bostwick, brokers, of No. 37 Wall street,
and requested him to sell five |1,000 second mort-
gage bonds af the railroad above mentioned. Mr.
Bates had known Herrick. several years ago when
he was in the dry eoods business, and therefore
aoppoaad of course the ^ bonds were all right.
Being a caut'ona man, however, he sent one
of his clerks to the railroad company's ofiBce.
at the comer of Cedar and William streets, with
the bonds, with instraction» to have them exam-
^ insd as to cenuineneea. Tho clerk soon returned
"With the information that the securities were
genoine, and Mr. Bates' partner then offered them
for sale. Thay were quoted on that day at
ninety-nine, but it being ., quite lata in the
sftemoon, Mr. Bostidck ioformed Herrick
tnat he probably could not sell them above eii;hty-
aine, and was doubtfol whether he could aispose of
them even at that flgnie before Monday corning.
Mr. Hemck's instructions then were to " go ahead
and. sell at eighty-nine." Mr. Bostwick did not find
% purchaser until Monday, and then, he sold to
Thomas Denny, the banker, in Jauncey conrt. Wall
Street, tor $4,906.
Monday, it will be remembered, was a very dark
day. but on Taesday, after it bad cleared up and
the light was good, Mr. Denny's examining clerk,
In looking over the bonds in question, thoaght he
detected one or two flaws. He accordingly asnt them
xo tbe railroad company's office with a reqaeat that
a rigid examination be made of them. Sach exami-
natioa waa made by tbe clerk ia charge, Mr. Hc-
XCialey — tbe same gentleman w^ba had the Saturday
previous pronounced the securities gannine — and
resulted in the discovery that the bonds
were forged. The litho<>rapLia stone trora
whtoh they were strtick is tho identical one from
which all the origioal and genuine boods of ibis
claas, amoanting to |1.316,0U0, were printed, and
bears tbe impress of the manafaoturera. Henry
Selbert St. Brothei-, ISo, 93 Fulton street. Ic is oiit
just to say in this connection that no ausoicion
is cast upon the Miessrs. Seibert, but ic
ia the belief ol the detectives that a dishonest por-
ter or some other employe has stolen the atone,
ana it bas thus fallen into the bands of a set ot
forgers.
The Dond is a large one, probably about eighteen
by twenty-two ^hcbea, and the points where detec-
tion of forgery are possible are very meagre. The
strongest evidence of fraud, however, is found in
tbe seal. The letters "anl," in St. Paul, are' some-
what crooked, and tbe daah under the word "Gom-
panv " is perceptibly heavier tbau in tbe geoaine.
Also, m the original, there ia a comma alter thia
word, but it IS lacking in the spurious seal. On
turning the bond over, it is iound that the signa-
tures of the Trustees are maeb too pluio, and on
looking across the document, when held up close to
the eye. and in such a position that u atrous; light
shines upon it, they appear to be somewhat raised,
or embossed. The signature* of Alexander Mitch-
ell. President, and Charles P. Gilpill, Secretary, are
Jair, only.
As soon as it was kno'wn that tbe bonds really
were forgeries, the Law Committee of the Stock
l^iiLAbange took the matter ia band, and instructed
DttBCtiye Samp-^on to work the case up. Mr.
Saiiinaou expetienced no difficulty in arresting Mr.
ilemck, who very promptly aaid that the bonds
were Uauded bim for sale by an old
tnend and acquaintance named WiUiam Swans
borough, gwanaborough was accordingly arreated,
;f being foand at No. 18 Vesey street, and ho in turn
said he had received the securities Irom £dward
Wetheraby, an agent for a Montreal cloth huase.
i»wansborough says VVether»by came to him
and stated that be wished to sell the bonds,
but that, as he was unacquainted on the
ktreet he desired his friend Swansboroiish
TO negotiate tiie sale for him. Under these
circnmiitaQces Swaoaliorough took the bonds — t; e
two bad met casually in the rotunda of the Aator
Houne —and gave them to liis Irieud Heriictt to sell,

A DBUa CLERK'S DEATH.
MTSTKRIOUS CASE OF POISONING— POUND
DEAD IN HIS BKD — A PHARMACIST WHO
WAS ANXIOUS TO KKTURN TO POLAND.
John Biggie, a clerk in the drug store of Dr.
E. B. Wilson, No. I66I3 Leonard street, on going
to the store .yesterday morning to relieve his fel-
low-clerk, Mieohyelaus Siellaya, wat surprised to
find that the place had not been opened for busi-
ness, although^t was then long past the usual hour
of opening. Knowing that Siellava slept in a
90m at the rear of the store, Biggio entered the
hallway an'd knocked loudly at the door, but re-
ceived no response. He next peered through the
window looking into the yard, and then ascertained
the cause of the clerk's silence. Siellava was lying
dead in bed. Biggio at once informed his employer
of the fact, and the latter immediately opened the
store and examined tho body of the dead
clerk, bat diicovered nothing explanatory of the
cause of death. Coroner woltman directed
a post-mortem examination to be made by his
deputy, who gave it as bis opinion that death was
unquestionably due to prupsic acid poisoning.
There is no evidence that the man contemplated
suicide. Siellava was a native of Polanol, thirty-
eight years of age, and was a man of fine eduoa*
tion, having been conversant with several
languages. He arrived in this country about fifteen
years ago, and in October, 1872, was granted by the
jNTew-TorK Board of Pharmacy a certificate aa as-
sistant pharmacist. He accepted employment from
Dr. Wilson in April, 1875, since which time he
filled tbe position of head clerk in the store, at ISo.
166^ Leonard street. A letter in the Polish
language, of which the following is a translation,
which Siellava evidently intended for a friend of
his, was found m one of the pockets of tbe de-
ceased :
Nbw-Tork. Nov. 22.
Pbar Antokie : It is a long time since I recwvert a
letter finva vou. I write you tliis and await an anawer
explaiaiug what ia the matter, I am busy in a drug
store, but I should like to know whether I can do any
better with vou. Here I have no chance of success. In
abort . lot me know how .you are dolna and how your
business proKreases. 1 would like to return home to
my own country and end my days there. I send you

Dr. Wilson yesterday informed the Coroner thst
Sifllava was addicted ito the oae of morphine, and
mischt have taiten an overdose inadvertently on
Tuesday night.
TEE LARGE FIRE IN HABLE^.
A G.^AIK ELEVATOR AND FEED MILL DE-
STROYKD— THB LOSS ESTIMATED AT
$50,000.
Shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday morning,
a fire broke out in tbe elevator attached to the ex-
tensive flour and feed mills of W. H. Payne & Co.,
at tho foot of One Hundred and Twenty-ninth
street, Harlem River. TLe fire was discovered by
an officer of the Twelfth Precinct, who hastened to
the corner of Third avenue and One Hundred and
Twenty-ninth street, and sent ont an nlarm Engine
Company No. 38, and Hook and Ladder Company
No. 14 promptly responded, bat by the time they
reached the scene tbe flames bad extended all
through the elevator and were working their way
into the main building on One Hundred and Twenty-
ninth street. The commanding officer of engine
No. 38 sent out a second alarm, which brought to
the scene four additional steamers. Chief of Bat-
talion Bbodes soon arrived and took command.
Despite the exertions of the firemen the flames
continued to increase, and threatened with
destruction not only the flour and
feed n:ills, but the neighboifing lumber
yards of Messrs. Colwell & Son, which were
filled with huge piles of Georgia pine, and light
wood of various descriptions. Chief Bbodes, fear-
ing a general conflagration, sent out a third alarm,
which was responded to by Chief Engineer Bates
and a large reinforcement of steamers and fireman.
With this additional force tbe fiames were checked
and shortly after 2 o'clock were under control. The
lire, howerer, was not extiQguished until nearly
daylight.
The biuned mill consists of a building on the
north side of Oae Hundred and Twenty-ninth
street, wltha frontage Of 26 fser, and extends to the
river front, a distance of nearly 150 feet. It is of
biick, three stories in height, with an extension in
the rear five stories in height. The froot building
is used as a store-house for grain, and the extension
as a feed mill. Tbe elevator is on the river's edge,
and was totally destroyed, aud tbe feed mill was
burned out. The front building was also badly
damaged. The elevator contained 35,000 bushels of
oats, 6,000 busbsls of corn, 6,000 bags of meal,
and a quantity of wheat and rye. This
waa all destroyed. The loss on stock
is estimated at $25,080. The machinery in
the elevator and feed mill was valued at $10,000, and
will doubtless prove a total loss. The damage to
the building is estimated at 115,800. Payne <fc Co.
are insured for :(14,000 on stock, $14,000 on uuiidings,
and $7,000 on machinery. The cause of the fire bus
not Been ascertained. Mr. Payne says there was no
fire nsed in that portion of ttio building la which
the flames were discovered, and they were either
kindled by an incendiary or may have originated
from spontaneous combu.stion. Pire'Marahal Shel-
don is making an investigarion.
During the progress of the fire, John Murphy,
a member of Hook and Ladder Company No. 14,
while endeavorlug to enter the builuine on One
Hundred and Twenty-ninth street, was met by a
dense volnme of smoke, and stepping back missed
his footing and fell into the basemeat. a distance
of ten teet, sprainine his lett ankle. He was taken
home by his, comi ados. At 5 o'clock, while Wash-
ington tioger, a member ot Hook and Ladder Com-
pany No. 14, was driving a fuel wagon down Third
avenue, aud when near One HundredandJSTineteenth
street, he ran into a baker's wagon owned by D. C.
Patty. The baker's wagon was badly damaged, and
his horse was so severely injured that he was shot
by a poiiceman. Eoger was thrown ffoin the luel
wagon and severely injured.

A FEY SI 01 AN TO BE PROSECUTED.
The Hudson County Board of Health has de-
termined to prosecute Dr. Alonzo Freeman, of Jer-
sey Cliy, for an alleged gross violation of the law.
President Elder stated the caas to the board as fol-
lows : A short titpe ago he was called upon by au
undertaker named Taylor, who wanted a permit
for the buiial of a still-born child. Dr. Elder vis-
ited the parents of the child, Irving M. and Eliza
Sedgwick, of No. 412 Palisade avenue. On ex-
aminatiau he waa satisfied that the death of the
cbilU was the result of gross mismanagement on
the part of tne midwife, Mrs. Miller. He refused
the permit and referred the case to the County
Phyiiician. A few days subsequently the under-
taker culled upoti him again and showed him a cer-
tificate signed by Dr. Freeman, that be had at-
tended the cliild, aud that the cauoe of death was
unknown. Tho fact that the certificate contained
several important errors led to the belief ttiat Dr.
Freeman had given the CPrtitii..'xte without visiting
the hsasa at all, and the board decided to prosecute
bin

MISS MARTINEZES SUIT.
THJB CASE APFBOACHINO AN END.
TESTIMONY OF SEVERAL WITNESSES KK-
GABDINO THE PLAINTIFF'S CONDUCT
WHILE IN MR. DEL VALLE'S HOtTSE—
GBOSS IMPKOPRIETIES BECITED — THE
KEBUTTINQ EVIDENCE.
The crowd at the Supreme Court yesterday
to witness the continuation of tbe 'Martmez-Del
Valla breach Of promise case, exceeded, if possible,
the number present on any preceding day. Scandal-
hunters of both sexes, professional lonngers, law-
yers, elnb-men, and spectators of all classes, lis-
tened intently to the evidenoe|| and watched tbe
varying progress of tha case with absorbing inter-
est. Owing to the stxict scrutiny observed
by the door-keeper, only a sufficient number were
aomitted into the court-room to provide each with
a seat, but in tbe lobbies outside, the crush re-
minded one of the Beecher trial. At 10:30 Judge
Sonohue ascended the bench, and the trial began.
The fair plaintifi and her handsome sister occupied
seats directly within the railing and near their
counsel, and Mr. Del Valle sat at the lower end of a
lone table, surrounded by his lawyers and several
Spanish friends.
THE EXAHINA.TION OF CELLi HAINBOW.
The first witness waa Celia Bainbow, the cham-
ber-maid in the Dol Valle household, whose cross-
examination on Tuesday afternoon had been inter-
rupted by adjournmenr. She testified as follows :
Miss Henriques [tbe plaintiff] associated with tbe
guests of tbe house only as an upper servant ; when
Mr. Del Valle Introduced her to Dr. Qnackenbuah,
he merely said, "This is my housekeeper,-" lam
now in Mr. Del Valle's employ; he boards at No.
168 West Fourteenth street.
Mr. Beach — Tou told us you were sometimes ac-
enstomed to light cigars for Mr. Del Valle. Did
you ever put them in bis mouth!
Witness — (Blushing)— No, Sir; I would some-
times light a match, and then band it to him to
light the cigar with; that was all.
Q.— -Did he ever Itiss youf A.— (Indignantly)—
No, Sir.
Q. — Did he ever make vou any presents T A. —
He gave me some Jewelry, a pair of ear-rings, on
Christmas, when he made presents to all his ser-
vants; I brought the (500 from Saratoga in a sealed
envelope J Mr. Alvarez was present when I deliv-
ered it to Miss Henriqnes; I was first spoken to
concerning this case last week ; two gentlemen
came to the bouse in West Fourteenth street and
askec me some qnes^ions; I see one of the gentle-
men here now, [Indicating one of the lawyers for
the defense. I
Tbe re-direct examination of the witness was
conducted by Mr. Cboate.
Q.— While at Poughkeepsie, did the plaintiff ever
tell you that Mr. Del Valle had informed her that
he had been married to a woman in Cuba, or that
a "compromise" existed between himself ana his
former wife J A.— No, Sir.
Q. — How did you come to remembey---fche Friday
before that particular Sunday in June, 1875 ? A. —
I remembered it because I received five months'
wages on that day and went to Albany to see my
mother.
To a juryman — On the morning of Sunday, the
6th of Jnne, I was eating my breakfast in tbe
pantry while the family were at breakfast in the
dining-room. I ate between the courses, and only
waited on the table at intervals.
This closed the examination of the witness. Her
evidence was given throughout In a modest and
unhesitating manner, and though cross-examined
at great length, she could not be Induced to con-
tradict; herself in the slightest particnlar.
OTHER ALLEGED IMPROPRIETIES.
Tbe next person to take the stand was Amelia
Jackson, the colored nurse in Dr. Quackenbusb's
family, otherwise known as "Bob." She testified
that she went to Poughkeeijsie on June 17 with Dr.
QuacEenbnsh's little boy, and occupied a room in
the Del Valle mansion on the same boor with the
plaintiff.
Q. — Did you ever observe any familiarity be-
tween the plaintifi and defendant f A. — No, eir.
Q. — Did you observe anything remarkable about
the plain tiff^ci conduct? A. — She would leave the
room-door open at night while she was undressing
for bed; she did it every night ; Mr Del Valle in-
troduced her to people as his housekeeper, and the
teacher of the children.
Q. — Did you notice anything else in her conduct?
A.— I saw her once exposing her legs very much in-
deed; she was lying on the hall fioor at the time.
The counsel for the defense here turned the wit-
ness over to Mr. Beach, who, after a few prelifaai-
naries as to age, dates, &.C., concerning which some
uncertainty was manifested, said :
Q. — Where were you when the plaintiff was ex-
posing her legs in this manner 1 A. — I was in tbe
hall with the children ; Celia was there also ; Mr.
Del Valle was walking the floor and smoking a
cigar ; I turned to Celia, who was sitting beside
me, and said: "What kind of a way is that for a
housekeeper to behave in the presence of gentle-
men?" The plaintiff was rolling on the floor part
of the time ; she also sat up.
Q. — Did she expose her legs plainly ? A. — Yes.
Q.— How far up ? A.— .The whole length. [Sen-
laiion in conrtj
Q.— Did she wear drawers ? A. — Tes, Sir ; she
was laUahing and rolling over the floor in a frolic-
some manner; I do not know whether Mr. Del
Valle noticed It, but I think he did; I cannot say
how long she continued on the floor ; when Mr. De'
Valle introduced her to Mr. Alvarez he spoke Span"
ish, but said the words "housekeeper" and " gev*
erness" in English.
Mr. Beach here exhibited a plan of the house,
ana the witness pointed out the room occupied by
her, and those in which the plamtifl and other
members of the family slept. During this portion
cf the croas-examioation Mr. Beach leaned up
blfectionatelv against the witness, and seemed
totally unconscious of the subdued merriment pro-
duced by the close proximity of his silver hairs
and her ebony-tmed countenance. He then re-
sumed his questioning as follows :
Q,_Wh6E did the ulaintiff usually retire for the
night ? A. — She usually retired to her room before
I did to mine ; I nsed to coma out into tbe hall
sometimes, and from there 1 could see her un-
dressin;.
Q. — Was th« door wide open 9 A. — Wide open; I
could see her undress, put on her night-clothes, and
fix her hair. This was durmg my second visit.
Q.— When did Mr, Del Valle go to bed ? A.— He
always came up stairs before she did; I spok'o to
Celia about the plaintift's showiuc her legs ; Mrs.
Quackonbush was the only other person 1 spoke to
uudut it.
Ou the re-direct examination, the witness testified
that when she saw the plaintiff rolling on the floor
and exposing ber person, she (tne wicaeas) was at»
tending to her children, and only looked at the
plaintiff occasionally ; this was the reason why she
could not state particularly the length of time oc-
cupied.
Mr. Albert L. Baker, a gentleman of twenty-five
or thirty years of age. was tho next witness, iio
testified to seeing the plaintiff's side-saddle brought
to the house iu Poughkeepsie ; be visited the house
several times ; once to call on Mr. Del Valle and
twice to collect the rent ; the house occupied by
Mr. Dsl Valle belonged to the • estate cf his [the
witntss'J father; the plaintifi" was introdncea to
him as Mr. Del Valle's housekeeper. His cross-
examination elicited nothing new.
TESTIMONY OF LUCIO ALVAREZ.
Lucio Alvarez, a weather-beaten but gentleman-
ly Spaniard, fifty -five years ef age, and of grave de-
meanor, was next sworn. He testified through the
inten.reter that he was an old fiieud and fellow-
townsman of Del Valle, and came to this country in
1875; by profession he was a Captain in the Spanish
merchant mailne ; he had known defendant from
boyheod, and was intimate with him both at borne
and in this country ; iu Jane last he accompanied
the latter to his home in Poughkeepsie; Del Valle
introduced the plaintifi' to him as an English teacher
and housekeeper; the first Sunday ho spent there
was the fiih of June ; ho remembered, because it
was connected with one of his shipwrecks; on the
same day, iu 1862, he was shipwrecked and came
near losing hi* life ; he afterward set tne ,dav
aside as a sacred one, and bad masses said for tliu
repose ot the soul cf a fiiend who was drowned on
that occasion; on the Sunday morning in queaiim,
he went out with Del Vaile, aiter breakfast: fthi.s
was the time when tlieplaiutift swore that Del valie
effected her eeducliun j] they wal<ted about the
grounds until 2 or 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon,
smoking and conversina:; he was with Del Valle
a!l the afiemoon, and did not see tbe plaintiff again
until dinner.
Q. — How" did Mr. Del Valle conduct himself
toward the plaintifi ? A. — He treated her aa an
upper servant ; 1 uevbr saw him evince any f.»mi-
liitity toward her.
Q.— Did you ever see Mr. Del Valle enter her
roiim ? A. — No, Sir.
Q. — How auout the door of her room at night ?
A.— It was always opes ; the otbor doors ,ttete
cloued ; somejmes in the evening i would g«i.out
to the sideboard in the ball to get a glass of water,
uu.l I always found her dcor open ; a ler I had no-
ticed this fjr about a week I mentioned it to Mr.
Del Valle.
Q. — What about her morning rides' A. — I uaed
to aee Ler ride out early in the morning : when sue
returned to the house it was quite late; I heard
Mr. Del Valle have a conversation with ner ou the
subiect of the side-saddle ; Mr. Del Valle kept all
bhe keys of tbe house, except tbe one to tne
kitchen door; she must have left the house in the
morning through that door.
Q. — Did you see any imoronriety in ber conduct t
A.— I thaught some of her postures were decidedly
immodest.
Q.— Have you ever seen her show her legs? A.—
I have seen her expose her legs as far as the knee;
I thought her actions very improper and unladylike.
Here Mr. Choate surrendered the 'witness, who
was subJeot«d to a severe croas-exaMination by Mr.
Beach, without, however, weakening his state-
ments In regard to the plaintiff's alleged impro-
prieties. The whole of the witness' life was gone
over In tbe mo^t searching manner, and Mr. Beach
made him tell the name of every ship he had sailed
In and every port he had touched at. Among other
things, be said that tbe shipwreck already alluded
to occurred In a canoe.
Mr. Beach— Inacauoe? Well, tell ns the name
ot your friend who was drowned on that occasion.
Witness — ^I cannot remember his name. fSenaa-
Uon.i
Mr. Beacb [severely] — How, then, could you have
masses said for the repose of his soul? a!-— It was
not necessary to mention his name.
The audience looked somewhat incredulous at
this, and Mr. Beach insisted on knowing all about
these masses, where they were said, and what were
the names of the officiating priests. The witness
mentioned several dates and places at which these
masses had been said, both in the East Indies and
in this country, but lorgot the names of the offici-
atmg clergymen.
Q. — Did yon ever see Mr. Del Valle and the plain-
tifi ride out alone? A. — Never ; some one else
always accompanied them ; either myself or the
children or one of the servants.
At this point the court took a recess.
TESTIMONY OF DR. AND MRS. QUACKENBUSH.
On reassembling, in tbe absence of the last wit-
ness Mrs. Dr. Qaaokenbush was oalled. The lady
appeared very weak and nervous, and was led to
tbe chair by tier husband and the conrt attendant.
She wore a heavy veil, out removed it on taking her
seat. Her testimony was as follows : I am the wife
of Dr. Henry P. Quackenbasb ; 1 reside at No. 39
East Eighteenth street ; on t!ie 17th of Jnne I went
to Mr. Del Valle's house at Poutbkeepsie with my
husband and child; we w«re at tbe bouse until the
19ih ; on the first day Mr. Del Valle went to the
funeral of ex-Senator Baker ; while he was gone the
plaintiff came to me aud talked with me about her-
self.
Q.— What did she say ? A.— She told me that she
was introduced to Mr. Del Valle, and that be had
emplo.yed her in her present capacity; she said
that there was a mystery connected with her life,
which she explained to consist Of indelicate pro-
posals made to her py her step-tather. 1 asked her
what her yonng friends would say if they knew
that she, so young, was livi^ig as a gentleman's
housekeeper?
Q. — What did she say regarding her future inten-
tions 1 A. — She said that she intended to go abroad
and remain a couple of years. While she- was
abroad, she would say that her husband was dead;
I told her not to talk like that, but to be a good
girl, and that Mr. Del Valle was a kind man and a
good employer ; I ulterward got a letter from her.
axking to be allowed permission to call on me ; but
I have not answered it. \
The orosB-examlnation was very short, and did
not elicit anything new.
Dr. QuBCkenbush, the husband of tbe last wit-
ness, swore that he was at Del Valle's bouse fiou
the 17tb to the 19th of June ; Miss Henriqnes was
introduced to him as housekeeper and eoverness.
Q. — Did you observe anything indelicate In her
conduct ? A.— On enteriug t be house, I saw her in tbe
entry; there was a sofa there; she threw herself on
it in a semi-recumbent position, with her skirts up'
to her knees.
On tbe cross-examination the witness swore tbat
he was not Del Valle's family physcian, and never
attended a case in the latter's horue, or tor his
friends.
ALVAREZ RECALLED.
Mr. Lucio Alvarez was recalled, and again cross-
oxamined by Mr. Beach in the most minute man-
ner. The witness was made to rehearse tbe story
of his travels in Etirope, and the East and West
Indies, finally bringing his narrative up to some-
thing which appeared like an attempt on his part
to ran the blockade at the mouth of the Bio Grande
during the .late war. Wnen he had reached this
point, Mr. Beach eyed the witness triumphantly,
and eaid :
Q.— And now, Sir, what was your ship loaded
with on this occasion ? A.— With hides, grain, and
general merchandise.
Q. — Was there no cotton in your cargo ? A. — ^No,
Sir.
Q.— Are you sure there was no cotton on board ?
A.— Tea, sir.
Q. — The coast was blockaded at that time, was it
not?
Judge Donohue here interposed with the remark
that the learned counsel seemed to be traveling out
of tbe case. There was no question about the
maintenance of tbe blockade ofi' the Texan coast at
tbat period.
After some discussion between the court and the
counsel, this line of examination was dropped, the
witness explaining tbat his ship at that time was
bound for Matamorqs, and that the blockade did
not extend to the Mexican side of the river. The
witness told the story cf his being capsized iu a
canoe off the Philippine Islands and of the drown-
ing of the baan who waa with him, the master of
thq canoe ; be had never suen the roan before, but
the accident was so startling and bis own escape so
narrow that he had atterward had masses said for
tbe repose of tho soul ot the deceased.
(j. — Oa the occasion when you saw the plain-
tilf's aoo* open at the house in Poughkeepsie,
could you see the pltintlff? A. — I could ; she was
generally inside the room, dressed in a light wrap-
per; I used to see her constantly with her door
open; I could even see her l.ying in bed.
MB. DEL valle's COACHMAN CALLED.
Samuel A. Preligh, tbe coachman at the Del
Valle mansion, was then called by the pro«-
ecution, iu rebuttxl. He testified concerning
the purchase of a side-saddle for the
plaintiff at tbe latter's request; when he brought
the saddle up to the house Mr. Del Valle and Mr.
Baber were sitting on tho veranda; they said noth-
ing to him ; he had seen the plaintiff start off oh her
horse-back rides early in the morning, generally be-
tween 5:30 and 6 o'clock: Mr. Del Valle gave him
no orders in regard to furniihing her with a horse ;
he never ordered it, or forbade it ; he had never
driven the plaintiff and defeudaat, but they were
always accompanied by the children or some one
else ; the plaintiff and the children generally used
to ride to the depot in the morning with Mr. Del
Valle and return for him In the evening.
Another discussion occurred concerning tbe ad-
missibility of this evidence, Mr. Choate contending
that it was not in rebuttal of anything their aide
(the delense) bad offered. The court decided in the
latter's favor, and noted his opponent's exception.
Mr. Choate then took the witness in hand.
Q. What sort of a horse did ihe plaintiff ride in
her early morning excursions? A.— An old farm-
norse. [LaughtPr.]
Q. — Did you ever see her and her sister walking
about tbe grounds? A.-^Yea. Sir.
Mr. Choate — What did they do?
Witness— {he8itatingIy--\V ell. they need to ram-
ble about the place considerable.
Mr. Clioate — (remorselessly) — Well, what else did
thev do ?
Witness — (nervously) — I — I used to see them ly-
ing down in the meadows along the aide of the
tonce; they were lying on tbeir stomachs. [Sensa-
tion and laiighter.J
Mr. Choate — (politely)— That will do.
Mr. Beach did not care to cross-examine the wit-
ness. Everybody in court smiled, and even tbe
plaintifi and her siSiicr laughed and blushed at the
same time..
Two other witnesses, James Gill and Samuel
Kramer, were called by Mr. Beach lo testify to the
previotis eood char^icter of Miss Martinez, bat after
some argument Mr. Beach consented to lorogo tneir
examination. Mr. Cboate said that ho was wlllini;
to submit his cas.e to the jury without summi)ig-ni>,
but at the request of the opposite counsel, who
wished to recall one or two ot the witnesses, the
case was adjourned,
BOGUS CITY MARSB.ALS.
In the up-town districts ot the City tho prac-
tice of evicting tenants from the premises Occupied
byithem has been adopted by landlords for some
time past by causing fictitious papers to be served
upon them by bogus City' Marshals. The ohjectin
pursuing this course is to avoid the expense of
taking out the usual legal process through the
District Courts, which costs 84. This buainess is
followed by several persons who were formerly
employed as City Marshals, out who have now no
authority whatever to act aa such. Ia many in-
stances the landlord ia not aware when he employs
those men that he ia acting illegally. Ho takes
their representations in good faith, and pays them
the legal fee for the purpose of procuiiogthe proper
paper to institnte proceedings. The bogus Marshal
pockets tbe amount paid to bim b.v the landlord,
and instead of taking out the usual processs pre-
scribed by law he fills up a blank copy of summons,
which costs him nothing, and th<.n sends it by a
messenger to tbe tenant to be evicted. This metliod
aa a general rnle has the effect ot canslng the ten-
ant to ■racate, the premises before the day named to
appear in court, in the belief that the
paper served has been issued with
the sanction and authority of the court.
Yesterday a case of this kind was brou;iht under
the notice of Judge Pinchney, of the Seventh Dis-
trict Court, and on the afiidavit of a man named
Coniiur, who had been serveil with the fictitious
process, ho Issued a warrant for the arrest of a
wom.in who own* a hou^e in Third avenue, near
Fifly-third street, and who undertook to remove
Connor's furniture upiin the authority of one of
these bogus papers. Justice Pinckney severely
reprimanded the woman, and Slated that iu future
be would iuflicc the fnli penally of the law ou all
proved guiUy of aiiog tbeso ticiitious papers.
A MJHTERWUS OCCURRENCE.

Columbia, Nov. 23. — The Democrats are
/ery maoh cbagnned to-dav over tbe action
•f the Board of Canvassers in 'completing!
tiwir work and adjoamiuz sine die at the time
the law required them so to do. They call it an
ontrage, a high-handed contempt of court,
4ec., and would have worked themselves
xato a state of frenzy about it had not
Gen. E^ampton published^ a card counseling
them to keep oooL To show what ridiculous
ropora obtain circulation here, I am credibly
ioionned that in the rural couaties it was re-
ported yesterday that Gov. Chamberlain had
deposed the Supreme Court, arrested Wade
Hampton, and done various other terri-
ble thiu«8. In response to these reports, bua-
dredsofanned men were preparing to rush
mto Columbia, and the town wool! probablv
kave been iilled with mounted riflemen before
this, had the reports not been contradicted
&om here and the ntte clubs told to re-
main where they are. The lawyers and less
excitable people have been discu^sin^ the legal
aspects of thu situation durmg the last twenty-
four hours, and speculatias; about what the
eoort will do to-mcirrow, in view of the action
of the Board of Cunvassers. It is well-
seitled law that the court cannot com
pel the board by mandamus to reassemble,
or do any act, ministerial or otherwise. This
was definitely decided in the New-York courts,
where a similar ca^ie arose in 1851, in which
Lynan Tremain wa^ one of the piurties, and is
reported in Barbour. The only thing the court
can do will be to punish the board for con-
tempt, and there are two good defenses to any
action of this kind, specified in my
dispatch last night. Republicans here are
firmly conviuoed now that it was the inten-
tion of the Democrats to keep the board m
session until after the time in waich they oouid
legally act had expired, aad then spring the
trap upon them that they had failed to comply
with the Jaw in time, and had bo power^now
to certify to the election of auy
of the Presidential Electors. This
. was the reason why the proceedings beiore the
court wero allowed to drag along day alter
day without any aecisiou being rendered as to
the powers of the bo^rd. It was only by some
> such trick as this that South Carolioa oouid be
made to contribute to the election of Tilden,
because the same returns which they relied
on to elect Hampton Governor elected
Hayei President. It is said that the
leading Demuerats here are getting
tired of imperiling their own chances for a
Governor in the vain effort to help Northern
Democrats elect a President. I was told to-
day that three out of the seven members ni the
, Democratic Executive Committee were in layor
of issuing an address to the people of the
country, saying that they ma^e no issue with
regard to Pr«sidential E.ectors, but only claim
that they have elected the Governor and a
majority of the Legislature.- They never would
hare attemptea to claim anything else, had it
not been lor the pressure brought to bear npon
them by Northern Democrats, and they have
got tired of being made a cat's-paw with which
to draw Tilden chestnuts out of the fire. No
one need be surprised to see such an ad-
drees issued to the public wiihiu a week.
I understand that a dispatch was sent
North last night, saying that orders for the ar-
rest of the members ot the board of Canvassers
bad betn issued by the court, and that they
had flfid to Washington^ There was not the
slightest ground for such a report, or for
the other report that the board acted
tinder orders or adviee from Washing-
ton. No lawyer from Washington, or auy-
:Wher6 outside of South Carolina, has given
them any advice on the subjeet. They acted
on their own motioa, backed by their couasel,
tkat the law required them to finish their work
■jreaterday, aud that it would be hazardous to
give the Demcorats any technical advantage
by falling to comolv with the strict letter of the
statute. One of the members of the board, Mr.
Purvis, Adjutant-General, has resigned, and his
' neignationluw been aoseoted. Sis term would

REPLY OF GOV. STEARNS IN THE MAT-
TER OF CAN'irASSING THE STATE VOTE
— AKOUMENT OF GEN. BARLOW IN SUP-
PORT— A WARNING TO THE COURT.
Special Ditpatch to th' Sew- York Timei.
Tallahassee, Nov. 23. — The case referred
to yesterday, being a bill in equity filed in the
Circuit Court of this district by the Demo-
cratic candidates for Electors against Gov.
Steams, to restrain him from giving certificates
to the Presidential Electors upon the canvass by
the Secretary of State, under the law of 1847,
came on for hearing upon a motion by the
plaintiffs tor an injunction pendente lite this
morning, before Oudge White. Ex-Gov.
Brown, Messrs. Sellers and Biddle, of
Philadelphia, with George P. Raney and
others, appeared for the plaintiffs, and
Gen. Barlow and Judge Emmons for
defendant; Mr. Rsmey, ot Tallahassee, opened
in a reading of the bill and a long argument
upon its particulars. He argued that, although
the Governor appeared iu afSdavit denying the
intention imputed to him in the bill, still it was
deemed important by the plaintiffs and their
counsel that the statutes should be considered
and analyzed to ascertain whether the Gov-
ernor haa the right to canvass the returns for
the Presidential Electors or not. Gen. Barlow
followed Mr. Raney, and opened a great argu-
ment by reading Gk)v. Stearns' protest and aflfl-
davit, as follows :
Marct llus L. S ; earns, protesting aud averring now,
and at all timt-S. that ine court has no jurlsiliction

W. M. Mcintosh, Notary Pablic.
Gen. Barlow proceeded: May it please the
Court — Various gentlemen here, myself in-
cluded, have been invoked by telegrams from
the North, upon their bonors, to give a candid
and honest opinion of the situation
if
wasto be tried, met this morning at 11 o'clock.
The court-room was crowded to the utotost.
The Governor presented, through counsel, an affi-
davit in which be states that he bad never made
up bis mind to canvass the vote and bad not stated
to any one that he had done so ; that, even up to
the present wntine, be had not decided that he was
empowered to canvass the votes.
The Democratio counsel, disregarding this affi-
davit', areued throueh George P. Banny that the
Grovemorhadno rijht to canvass the Electoral vote,
hot that snch rieht resided in tbe Canvassing
Board ; and further, that the court did have juris-
diction over the Governor — ^not in restraining him
from doing what h« was empowered hy law to do,
but lujrestraining him from performing an act he
had no right to perform under the law.
Gen. Barlow renlied on behalf of the 'Governor,
and denied tbe jurisdiction of the court. He said
that an iniuucfion issued against the Governor by
the Judge on tbe Bench would have no more effect
than if it were issued by a private individual. He
abjnred'the Jadge to carefally consider the risk be
ran in issuing a writ of injunction that could not be
enforsed by any leeitimate procedure, if the Gov-
ernor was determined to resist it. Gen. Barlow did
not enter into the merits of the case at all, but
merely stood upon the lack of jarlsfliction on the
part of the conn. At the close of his argument the
court adiouriied. The decision will probably be
reached to-inoirow. «

THRElS MOKK PARISHES DISPOSED OF BY
THK BOARD — IHK EVIDENCE TO BE
PRESENTED OF INTIMIDATION AND VIO-
LENCE— WITNESSES AFRAID TO TESTIFY
— SOLDIERS SENT TO GIVE THEM SAFE
CONDUCT TO THE CITY.
By Telegraph from Our Special Correspondent.
New-Orleans, Nov. 23. — The work of
the Keturning Board progresses rapidly. To-
day they disposed of the Parishes ot Iberville,
Union, andJNatchitoohes, which make a total
of nineteen ialready canvassed. Both sides are
working night and da.y, preparing tes-
timony regarding the contested dis-
tricts, and until they come up
there will probably be no change in the situa-
tion here. The Democrats now admit that
their opponents h^ve a very strong case in
several of the "bull-dozed" parishes, and there
can be no doubt that they have given up all
hepe of breaking down the evidence of the w^it-
nesses who are to be called to testi-
fy for the Republicans. The country
has heard a great deal during the
past month of the outrages upon colored
'voters in the South, but nothing so terrible as
a number of the affidavits to be presented to
the Beturning Board has yet been published.
Many of the witnesses who were summoned
here by the United States Commissioner state
that after they have given their evidence they
will not be able to return to their homes.
They know that tliey would be killed it they
did 80. Because ot these fears and
the violent threats which have been made by
the Democrats ii^ the interior, it is very diffi-
cult to get some of the most important wit-
nesses here. Some da.ys ago the Commissioner
summoned these men Irom Richland Parish to
testify as to the intimidation in their districts.
They replied that they dared not come ; that
they would be killed if they did. To-day a file
of United States soldiers was sent to their
homes to give them sate conduct to New-Or-
leans. The city is quiet, but business men ex-
press great anxiety to have the Presidential
question settled one wa.y or another.
in
Florida, as if they need to be appealed
to after this extraordinary manner. 1 should
like, m view of the fatal detects, errors, omis-
sions, and illegalities of tbe plaintiff's bill, and
the proposed proceedings, to submit them to the
candid opinion aud mature mind of that great
Democratic lawyer— the first lawyer in the
land — Charles O'Conor; that Democratio
Chief Justice of Mr. Tilden's State, Santord E.
Church, in view of the case which I shall
cue, decided in his court; and, lastly,
to that able Democratic lawyer, Samuel
J. Tilden himself. I would like to ask them all
whether by the proceedings here initiated the
responsibility of a departure from lair and
honest methods of determining the great ques-
tion of the Election of President and adopting
monstrous and illegal methods, has not been
first taken by the Democratic Party. The at-
tention of the court is respectfully called to
the fact that every act connected with the can-
vats of toe elctoral vote of Florida will be
subjected to thecareful scrutiny of lawyers and
men of intelligence throughout the country;
that an.y departure Irom the plain and
settled rules of law, any assumption
of judicial jurisdiction, will call down
upon the political party guilty
ot it, the imputation of seeking to carry its
points by unscrupulous, if not violent, means;
that it is eepecially important that this
court should do no questionable act ;
because the example there set, at
the very beginning of the controversy now
pending, bv a judicial body of palpably erro-
neous and illegal action, at the instigation of
one pohtical party, might tempt, if'' not
juotifv, other boards and bodies to
seek in like manner to obtain partisan advan-
tages without reierence to law and justice.
ihe aiisve utterances ot Gen. Barlow pro-
duced a jirofoQUd impression. At tUo close of
his arguioeut the court adjouaed till to-mor-
row.
THB SITUATION FAVORABLE — REPUBLItiANS

Special Dispatch to tJie New-Tork Times.
Washington, Nov. 23. — Senator West
received a dispatch to-night from New-Orleans,
which states that all the indications thus far
are favorable to the election of Hayes, and that
the situation is satisfactory to the Republicans,
who are confident of success.
A DISPATCH STATING THAT THE RETURNS ARE
AIL IX AND SHOW A MAJORITY OF 763
FOR HAYES.
Special Dispatch to the New- York JHmet.
Washing roN, Nov. 23.— There was re-
ceived here to-day a dispatch addressed to W. W.
Curtiss, of Georgetown, for many years Chief
Clerk of the Land Office, which stated that all
the returns for Florida bad been brought in. and
showed on their face 763 m^ority for Hayes.
Muen inquiry has been made duriu'.; the even-
ing, but the stacemeut has not been confirmed
from any other source. That all the returns
should have been received by the canvassers
without a general announcement of the tact
here is not deemed probable. Tbe Democrats
display a great deal of interest iu the dispatch,
which they try, ot course, by all arguments to
discredit.

Gen. Anderson rose t« a qnestion of privilege,
lead an article from a newspaper, and said : I wish
the public to know, and also the editor, who
has probatl.v not read the act under which
this Doard is acting, (act No. 28.) of Novem-
ber, 187d.) — that since that time when I resijrned
my posiiion as a member ot tne Returnine Board on
account of being » candidate f jr the Senate, the law
has been changud. Now, fjr the infjrmation of
thegeutlemeu present and others, I will state thas
the Uw under which I was aciing in 1870 and 1872
is different from the law under which i am aciiug
at nresent. Act No. 28 of November, 1872, does not
state, as the act •! 187u stated, thatnocauuidate will
be eliuible to aii- in the Returning Board.
I am acting under this law, and there is nothing in
this law baid ab ii^t a man being disqualified on
the ground if his being a candidate. If there
was, I would not be aitiin^i at present on this board.
Furthermore, I ackuowledtfe mv competitor was
electee, but i, however, wish the public to under-
stand that 1 am not acting under the same law as I
did in 1870, when I teatihed that I was ineligible
under that law. I hope this explanation will be
satislaclory.
judge Spofford — Mr. President. I wish to pre-
sent a motion iu writing with a statement of my
reasons lor doing so.
Gov. Wells— Is it lengthy ?
Judge SpoHord — Xo, Sir, very siort.
Gov. Weils — Read it, then.
The undersigued, of couuvel for candidates on
the Democraiii) Uouservative ticket, respectfully
repx'eseni that they ard iutorm^d, and believe, that
the Sapsrviaora of Ro:ri8traiion tor fourteen par-
ishes had not filed their returns here at the time
the board adiourned yesterday ; that many of these
returns are, and have been lor some time, in the
City of New-Orleau.-', in the bands of Republican
SUptirvisors or of a Republican candidate for Con-
gress ; that proui ot this tact ai.nears in the a£Q-
aaviis filed relative to the Parishes ff Ouacbita,
Lafayette, East Baton Rouge, Red River, JTrank-
liD, and otheis ; that it apuears from tbe state-
ments made by Gen. T. C. 'Anderson before the
Board on Monday last that the return* from St.
Landry were in New-Orleans on that day, though
reported not filed yesterday; wherefore the under-
signed move that i he Supervisors, or other persons,
holding said returns be ordered to bring the same
before this Board of Returning OfiBcera forthwith.
The annexed proof shows that M. J. Grady, Super-
visor lor Odacuita, bas had his return-t here in this
cily tor a week past ; J. A. Veazey, Supervisor for
Larayette, had hi« retorus hire a weeK ago; that
F. A. Clover, Supervisor for East Baton Rouge, has
beeu here with his retumij tor ten days

fur seven uays piat ; chit W. H. McKay, Super-
visor ot Fraukiiii, forwarded his returns ou thelith
iiisl., and is now in the city, and that Gei r;;o S.

Fourth Concre^sional District, la in the City of
New-Orleans, and broujjht with htm from Shrcevo-
port, and has had, and sail has, under his conttul
some ot the returns from the Red River Parish, and
m said Fourth District; and the annexed copy of
a circular letter to Supervisors of Registration rrom
D. J. M. A. Jewett, Secretary of the Republican
Campait;n Cwmmittee, shows that they were in-
structed to bring the Reuublicau vote ol their paN
IsliBS up to a nrescribed figure.
Pending the reading tf J udge Spofi'ord's motion
Gen. Anderson remarked in regard to the returns
from the Parish ot St. Landry that they were nut in
tbe eiiy, because he had ascertained upon tbe
ariival ot the steam-boat Trenton last evening that
the Supervisor, wuh the returos, and a good many
gentlemen, ^Republicans and Democrats, had been
detained on account of the low water at the mouth
of the Red River.
Judge Spofl' rd— However, that does not aflfeot my
mr/tion. I file thai' motion with the accompabiag
affidavit, and I ask the board to take action upon
it. I merely suggest the fict of this conduct on the
part ot the Supervisors, aud it shoiild'^spceivo some

ever, we will assume anthority if we
are convinced that' the cffloera are here with re-
there is no authority by which we can force these
gentlemen here.
Judge Spofford— I brine the facts to the attention
of the board. I will also file a motion In wiitiug.
in regard to the order which the hoard
might prescribe for taking up the contes'ed
parishes. I do not care whether the board takes
tbem up alphabetically or not, but we desire to
know what contested parishes will be taken up
flrat.
Gov. WpIIs— "We shall Inform you whenever we
take up the contested parishes.
Judge Spofford— But carnot the board state what
patisbes will be taken up first, so that we can have
our witnessPB present!
Gov. Well— We will take up East Baton Rouge
first, bat_ we will have to be governed by the lengih
of the evidence ihat will be introduced.
Judge Spofford— Will the board tell us what day
East Baton Rouge will no taken npJ
Gov. Wells— We may take it up to-day or to-
morrow.
Gen. Anderson — I would suggest that we issue
an order, or request, to every Supervisor in the
city who has not filed his returns to do so imme-
diately.
Gov. Wells— That will be done. Issue the order
at once.
Gen. Anderson— Every one we can find will cer-
tainly receive a notice of that.
Gov. Wells — All Supervisors in the city will be
required to do so at once.
Col. Zaobarie^I have a communioation from Col.
Bush to read. "
Gov. Wells- Is It long ?
C6I. Zicharie — No, Sir ; it is very short.
Col. Zauhane then read a letter from Col. Bush,
Vice President of the Democratic Conservative
State Central Committee, pressing upon the Board
theneoeiS'iy of appointing Dr. Kennedy on the
board if the proceedings were to be comiucted m
a SDirii of fairness and justice. A request for
representatiou among the clerks was also made.
Gov. Wells— The clBrical force has been com-
pleted and we cannot make acy alterations. We
will afT«mpt to fill the board.
Mr. Mc(;iloin stated that' the document be bad
filed on Woonesday, relating to the rules adopted
by the board was not a pretest, but
a suggestion intended . to induce
the board to modity certain of the Tule«,#SDetial'y
tl?e one reforiiag to the reception of the affldaviis of
officers of elections as prima facie evidence. He
urged upon tbe board the neces>iiy of taking the
application for a modification of tne rules under
consideration.
Col. Zacbatle — Have returns from the Parish of
Morehouse been filed ?
Tue Cierk — No, Sir ; the returns are not in.
Col. Zicbarle- Was not Morehouse one of the

amine the papers and protests immediately.
Mr. McGloiu — Was the request in regard to the
opening of all returns granted or refused 1
Gov. Wells — We cauuoc consent to open any re-
turns, which will be dune here iu public — I mean
the entire public.
Col. Ziiciiarie— Then the request is not granted?
Gov. Wella — We had a great many charges made
against us in 1874 in consequence ot having these
oneued and ready for the iuspedtioa of the entire

Mr. McGloin — How does the board c. nsider the
question ot completi'g the coun^t
Gov. Weljs — ihe Electoral vote must be completed
'by tbe 6th of December.
Mr. McGloin — There are several parishes in
which there are cttutestn which will require s'x or
seven days to commnuicate with aud get people
down here as witueaaes. How are we to protect oar
interests if we receive on ly two or three days' notice 1
"We will not have time to oriug our witnesses down
here. I suggest that fact to yoar honorable body iu
order that you might grant tbe request to opeu the
papers.
Gov. Wells — Well I don't see how that is. As a
practicing lawyer you have your witnessesut court,
ready when your case comes up. Have your wit-
nesaes hi>re now without any request on uur part?
We will furnish yon with a stuteiuent whenever
there IS a ebuteat. You know the nature ot iLCon-

EXPLANATION BY CONGRESSMAN FRYE, OF
MAINE. OF THE ACTION OP THE CO^-
GKKSSIONAL COMMITTEE IN 1875.
To the Editors of the Lewiston (Me.) Journal :
The misapprehension existing as to the
Louisiana Relurning Board, its duties, its history,
the personnel of. its members, and the fact that
Messrs. Wheeler, Hoar, and Prye, of theCongres-
sional Committee ol the Forty-third Congress, have
been repeatedly quoted in condemnation of it, are
my apology for this communication.
The barbarisms of the ''White Man's Party "in
Louisiana have never been understood or appreci-
ated by the people of the North. The Repubhcans
have been unwilling to give credit to the terrlhfe
history, and the Democrats have studiously and
persistently denied and ridiculed it. It is not the
province of this article to revew it, but a brief
statement of the election of 1868 is important in
establishing the necessity for the "Returning
Board,"
In the Spring of 1868 there was an election entire-
ly peaceable, the Republicans haviLg a majority of
more than 25.000. In the Summer the " White
Man's Party" was formed ; in th» Fall occurred six
bloody and terrible massacres, the Bossiers Parish,
the St. Landry, the Orleans.tthe Caddo, the Jeffer-
son, and the St. Bernard. The following summary
of testimony will be lound in Judge Poland's report
to the Forty-second Congress, No, 22; pages 21 and
22:
" The testimony shows that over two thousand
persons were killed and wounded within a few
weeks prior to the election; that half the State
was overrun by violence; uiidnigbt raids, secret
murders and open riot kept the people in constant
terror uuiil the Repu'oUcans surrendered, and then
Ida ejection was carried by the Democracy. Tlie
Parish of Orleans oontainoa 23,910 votes, <if which.
15,020 were black. In the Spiiig that parish gave
13,973 Republican votes ; in the F,ill it iiavr' Giant
1,178. Riots prevailed for weekH, sweeping the Ciiy
of New-Orleans, and filling it with scenes of blood.
While Kuklux notices were everywhere posted,
wainiog the colored men not to vote. In Caddo
there were 2,987 Republican voters. In the Spring
they carried the parish by a large majority — in the
Fall they gave Grant one vote. In S:. Landry
Parish, the Republicans had a registered mnjoriiy
of 1,071 votes; in tbe Spring election their majority
was 678, while in the Fall thpy'gave Grant no vnte,
and the Democrats cast the full vote, 4,787, for Sey-
mour and Blair."
In twenty-two pariehes, and by parishes I mean
counties, 35,000 Republican voters were driven
from the noils, and only 1,820 ? allowed to vote.
Over one thousand voters, all colored Kepublieans,
were killed. It became entirely evident that elec-
tions wotdd be only farces, or if the Republicans
persisted in trying to vote, bloody tragedies, under
the old and ordinary system of holding them. To
remedy this, the Leuislature took the powers hith-
erto vested in Commissioners of Elections
and vested them, so far as the counting
of tbe votes and making the returns
was concerned, in the hands of five ^en, who were
to be the Returning Officers of tbe whole State ; and
also clothed them with one additional power, name-
ly— iu event of a condition of things like the above
occnrrmg at an election, they, aotine in a body.
tend if, la their judgment, such fraud, violence, or
terror existed in any pariaa as to prevent the ma-
lority of the legal voters from voting, then they
should have the power to declare it a mob, and
throw out the votes of that parish or poll.
Such is the Returning Board of Louisiana, and
without it, as one distinguished witness betore our
Congressional Committee said, an election in that
State would simply register the dictates of a mur-
derous mob. This became the Uw in 1872, and Gov,
Wells, John Lynch, Gen. Longstreet, Mr.Caaanave,
and Louis M. Kenner were elected by the Senate Be-
lurning Officers in January, 1873. Mr. Lynch re-
signed and T. C. Anderson was elected in bis place
by tbe board. Tbe party nomenclature was -then
Repuolican, Conservative, and Liberal Republican,
each of these parties being represented on the
board. 4.t tbe last election in 1874 party names bad
changed ; they were Republican and Conservative,
cr " White Man" or " White League.
In November, 1874, the board met to canvass the
returns. The White Man's Party protested that
they had no representation on the board. There-
upon Gen. Longstreet resigned, and Mr. Arroyo,
selected by this party and entirely in sympathy
with them, was appointed, and took an active* part
In their deliberations up to Deo. 22, 1874, two days
before the final adjournment of the board, when he
resigned. During this canvass, counsel for both
parties were present, protested, argued, examined
and cross-examined witnesses, and the evidence
before our committee disclosed no want of fairness,
no attemntat frauds, ne ourpose to cheat oy any of
the board.
I think I can safely assert that Messrs. Wheeler,
Hoar, and Frye never found any fraudulent acts or
purposes on the part of these gentlemen, nor did
they or either of them ever assert privately dr pub-
licly, in conversation or in tbe official report, tbat
there was any want of personal or official integrity
in the performance of their duty. On the contrary,
I am confident that the evidence inspired them
with a profound respect for the members of tbe
board, and satisfied tbem tbat they did not err in
their findings of fact. I quote from the report
signed by Messrs. Wheeler, Roar, and Frye :
" We now come to the events of 1874. The oam-
paiiin was inaugurated by the formation of a pariy
designed to divide the people cf Louisiana on the
line of race. Its convention at Baton Rouge be-
gins its address ' We, the white men cf Louisiana'
This party assumed various names iu various lo-
calities, alwa.ys assuming a purpose to make the
race issue distinct. * * * The speeches at pub-
lic meetings and leading articles in the press urged
the people to deeds of violence. ■* ' * It is im-
possiole to stale, in the soace which this report can
properly cover, the details ot deeds of lawless vio-
lence which were proved before the committee. In
many parishes the legal ufiioars were driven out by
force. Republicans were murdered or compelled
to fly for their^ lives— whatever the pretext, the
real offense was their political opinions. » * »
The White League of New-Orleans it»elf was and
is a constant menace to the Republicans of the
wtole State, ilt would be desirous and able to over-
throw the State Ooveroment at any time, if not
prevented by the power of the United States, Wo
cannot doubt that the efl'ect of all these things was
to prevent a full, free, and fair election, and to in-
timidate tbe colored voters aud the white Republi-
cans. The very formation of a white man's party
was a menace of ternble imoort to those who re-
mcm ered Colfax, and Bossier, and the eunvention.
The press was filled with threats of violence. The
agreement to discharge laborers, the suggestion
that wild beasts are tamed by hunger, was evidence
of the same spirit. The overthrow of tbe State
Government by the White League on the 14t,h of
September; the turning out large numbers of parish
officials iu tbe conntry, compeiUug them to dee for
their lives; the feartul lesscfti of Conshatta : the
formatien, arming, and drilling of the White
League, tbe natural successors of the Kuights of
the vV'hite Camellia ; these things in a community
where there is no legal punishment for political
murder, must, in the uature of thini^s, have filled
with terror a people timid and gentle like the ool-
orea population of Louisiana, even if we had not
taken abundant evidence as to special acts of vio-
lence and crime and their effects on particolar
neighborhoods. In view of these facts we do not
hesitate to find that the election of 1874 was neither
full, free, nor fair; that in large portions of the
State the usual means <'f instruciiug and oersuad
lug tbe peonie, of organizing and conducting a cam-
pain, could not be carried on by Republicans with-
out daager to their lives, and that many more
voters than were needed to give the Republican
Party a complete victory were prevented from vot
iiig ai all or coerced luto voting the while man's
ticket. It was to declare the resvdt of such an eleo-
tiuD that the Returning Board met at New-Orleans
in 1874."
So far as the facts are concerned, this board in no
respects went beyond our own findings. But the third
sectioa of the act creating the board provided for
certain certificates of Supervisors or Commission-
ers, and of this our committee said:
" Upon this statute we are all clearly of opiniou
that the Returning Board bad no right to do any-
thing except to canvass and compile the returns
whiah were lawfully made to them by tbe officers,
except in cases where they were accompanied by
the certificates ot the Supervisor or Commission
er provided in the tbiid section. In such cases, the
last sentence of that section shows that it was ex-
pected that they would ordmaiily exercise the
grave and delicate duty of investigating ctiarges of
not. tumult, bribery, or corruDtion on a hearing of
tbe parties interested in the office. It never could
have been meant tbat this board,uf its own motion,
sitting in New-Oiieaus, at a distance from the
place of voting, and without notice, could decide the
right of peisous claiming to be elected. The board
took a difleient view of its powers, and proceeded
to throw out the votes irom many polls where
they found intimidation and violence to have. ex-
isted. * * * The Retui-ning Board claims that
in this proceeding th y acted under an honest be-
lief tbat tbey were right in their construction
of the law, aud that they were giving effect to the
true will of a majority of the people of Louisiana,
aud that in their construction they followed the
precedent set liy the Democratio or lusion Return-
iug ,poard of 18'72. Wc believe they did f.iUow such
a precedent. We have no doubt tnat they believed
they were defending the people of Louisiana against
a fraud on their constitutional rights."
Do not these citations justify my assertion that
we never condemned this hoard for any ot its find-
ings as to facts ? They made a mistake in their
construction of the law, but to find them corrupt
for this would equally condemn every Judge of
every court in the country.
Gov. Wella, chairman if the board, was born in
Louisiana, was an old Whig— a man of wealth, the
owTisr of two large plantations, of one hundred and
fifty slaves, held socially as proud a position as
any, opposed secession, was driven from his home,
for a year and a, half hid in the woods and swamps,
was bunted with bloodhounds, his property all
destroyed, his family scattered. In 1863 he was elect
ed Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana. In 1865 elect-
ed Governor by both Republicans and Demo-
crats. He was a witness hefore our committee, and
boldly said to the two hundred rebels present, " You
called me a javhawker when I waa in the swamps,
but I had rather be known forever as a jayhawker
than a 'traitor.' " He is a man of undaunted cour-
age, of loyalty tned in tho fire, of firm will and
determined purpose. I believe bim to be a
thoroughly honest man, and I know he cannot be
tempted by Democratic promises or driven by their
threats. Thomas C. Anderson is a Southern man,
a Resident of Louisiana for thirty-five years, a man
of large wealth before the war, owning one hundred
slaves and several ihonsands of acres of land— in
politics a Whig —several times member of the Legis-
lature, also a member of the Constitutional Conven-
tion in 1852. During the rebellion acted with
tho South— was an officer under Gen. Taylor, and
was always high y esteemed. The other two mem-
bers of the board are very respectable, intelligent
colored men, both fairly educated, both men of some
property, one of them owning quite a large amount
of real eatate.
There is no ground whatever for the wholesale
charges of fraud and corruption made against the
board. The only fear I have is, tbat to escape even
the suspicion of a seeming partiality to the Repub-
licans, tbey may lean too much to the side, not of
mercy, but of murder and outrage, the twin cham-
pions of Democracy in Louisiana.

HOW THEY VOTED IN KENTDCKT.

■8i>eelalDisvate!ito the New- York Timet,
CiNgiNNATi, Nov. 23.— It turns out that
no Electors were voted for in Kentucky. The
vote was vina voce, and Tilden and Hendricks
and Hayes and Wheeler were the only persons
voted for. Tho names of Electors were not
printed, and not one man in a thousand knew
who they were.
Disvateh to the Attodated Press.
Cincinnati, Nov. 23.— Some interest has been
mauife8t«d by the inanner in whicb votes were oast
in the State of Kentucky in tbe recent election.
The law ot that State i»rovides that voting shall be
viva voce, but it seems that most of the voting, iu
Covington and Newport at least, was for Tilden
and Hendricks or Hayes and 'Wheeler direct, -with-
out any reference to Electors, Some of the voters,
in an interview, state tbat they did not know tbe
names of tbe Electors. Whether this irregularity
will be considered in determining the general re-
salt, is not deflnitoly known.
Louisville, Nov. 23. — Conoeming the press
dispatch from Cincinnati in regard to tbe
reported failure of both Republicans and
Democrats in Newport and Covington to
vote for Electors, prominent msu here
say that, as the vote for President in Kentucky
is viva voce, the names of all the Electors being
printed o> the poll-books, it has been the ciiatom
of the voter to say, " I vote for Tilden and Hen-
dricks," or "Hayes and Wheeler," as the case
mav be, and m the voter's presence the clerks tally
one vote for each of the Electors on the ticket
voted. The so-called irregularity i> considered
here, as of no oonsequonce whatever.
ANOTBEB POLITICAL MURDER.
A SUPERVISOR OP ELECTIONS FOUND DEA9,
AND THE REPUBLICAN TICKETS HE
CARRIED MISSING.
Special IHspatch to the Neto-Tork Timet.
Baleigh, Nov. 23. — Dr. A. J. Glover, Su-
pervisor of Elections at Swan Quarter, Hyde
County, N. C, was drowned on the night of
Nov. 6, with the Repuhlioan tickets for that
county in his possession. He was acoompanied
by a party of Democrats, who enticed him
Way from the town to the vicinity of an old
wind-milljon a pretense of having important in-
formation to communicate. He never returned
alive, but was found some days after nearly
upright in the water, with his coat drawn over
his head and other evidence of violence. He
was invited by one of the parti^ to drink at
his bar before leaving, and it is believed that
the liquor was drugged. The election tickets
were never found.
FACTS AND RUMORS IN WASINGTON.

PIRATIONS.
Special Dispatch to the Nev-York Tlmti.
Washington, Nov. 23. — There has been no
new arrival of soldiers to-day, but more companies
are on the way, or under orders to come here. A
high officer of the Army says that within a week,
or a few days, thers will be twenty-two companies
in Washington, which will comprise altogether per-
haps fifteen or sixteen hondred men. It is not dis-
closed whether this will be all the force gathered
here, but probably not. It is lifcely that two
or three gun-boats may also come here, as they
wonld certainly be useful if any force should be
necessary. As to tbe statement that a gun-boat has
been broaght alongside of Long Bridge, it may be
said that no such thing is visible to ordinary eyes,
and is supposed not to be in the position reported.
There is some discussion of the Speakership of
the Honse and the Presidency of the Senate, but it
is not among thosa who have voice or influence af-
fecting the choice. S. S. Cox is here looking after
the Chair of the House. The other candidates are
not yet come. There is not the slightest indication
pointing out the sucoessfid aspirant.
Ssyler showed himself so completely
in the bands of his party, and violated the rules in
Democratic loterekt so many times during the brief
period he was Speaker last Winter, that he would
seem to have the best hold on the majority of the
House. He is the kind of Speaker they want. As
tor the Presidency of the Senate, there is a strong
outside feeling in favor of Mr. Edmunds, when Mr.
Ferry retires; but there are still three months of dis-
cussion on tbat subject before action.
IHtpateh to the Ati.oeiated Prett.
The Tilden and Hendficks Club of this city held
a meeting to-night, and decided to postpone their,
proposed procession and torchlight demonstration
indefinitely, owing to the present excited state of
the public foeling. They issued an address setting
forth at considerable length the reasons which im-
pelled them to this action. •
The Hayes and Wheeler Invinoibles contemplate
a torchlight procession in honor of their candidates
curing the coming month.

The gun-boat came «p the Bay slowly. During
the tnp the Sheriff sat next Tweed, aad occasion-
ally oanversed with him. But he was not disposed
to say much. At one time Mr. Oonnet asked him a
ver.y significant question.
"Do you know," said the Sheriff "that "Wood,
ward bas been arrested! "
•• Yes." replied Tweed, "I heard of that at St
Thomas."
He did not state, however, bow be learned
the fact — whether from a newspaper, from
a written communication, or verbally.
After awhile Tweed turned tne conversation to
politics. He asked Mr. Conner for some iDtormatiju
about the recent election in this City, and desired
to know who had been chosen to fill tbe various
offices. This question was promptly answered.
Mr. Tweed maue no comments. He reterred to
only one incident tn connection with his exile.
"During my absence," he said, "I have seen only
one man that knew me, and he was a frienu."
The Catalpa reached the dock at tbe toot of Hons-.
ton street. North River, at about 4 o'clock, and tba
Sheriff conducted uis urisoner to the pier. Most of
Tweed's baggage bad beeu left on the vesseL
Here Tweed was immediately taken to a car-
riage, and in company with Sheriff Conner and
Deputy Sheriff McGonigie was diiven to Liudlow
Street Jail, escorted by five csrrisfes filled wi>a
officials and reporters. Hundreds of people bad
collected about the entrance ot the nier, bat the
Police drove them back aud made a paa-
sa^e-way foe tbe carriages. "VTheu tbe car

crowd rushed after it, shouting itself hoarse.
The carriages were driven up "West .Houston street

to Ludlow street, down Ludlow to the jail, where
tbe carriage containing Tweed and Sheriff Conner
was driven through the great archway, ana the
doors were immediately eloaed.
A large and constantly increasing crowd of per-
sons were waiting about the miiin entrance to the
jail all the afternoon. The turnkey was constantly
kept busy answering the bell, and 'Warden Watson,
who was himself in charge, answered all ques-

with atroag oars, and every other means of exit was
aaretally raarded. I may aa well Jnst here
•ay aomething of the way In which
Tweed was watehed. In the flist piaee, tbare waa
a sentry in bis roam all the time, day aad night.
The sentry paced the side of tbe room aoiutantly.
At the door waa an orderly, who was conatantly on
duty, ready to convey messages or to render aa-
•istanoe. In addition to theae snarda, two officers
af tbe ship were especially oommissioaed to iook
Mit for the prisoner, and w^ere ordered not to lose
light of h^n a moment while tbe ship wiis in port.
Ibey did not leave bis roem nntil the ship
left Vigo: tbey were with bim constantly while
tbe sa.'p was at St. Thomas, and they were in iiis
laluen when he was given op to tbe SberifTof ^Tew-
Turk. Besides all this, tbe Exeoativs Officer of
the snip was also an active custodian. One of the
ifate-rooms connecting with Tweed's saloon was
occupied oy the Execative Officer, so that he might
ba ou hand in case anything extraordinary should
torn np.
When Tweed boarded the ship, he was received
iff Commander Franklin, and at once escorted to
hia quarters. He w^s a saedy-lookiog fellow I as-
apoD bis health, and npon the surgeon's recom-
mendation the Coptain urged Tweed to take an atr^
ing on deck every day. He tried it once, and after
that declined to avail himself of the liberty tendered
bim. He said ttiat he had caagbt cold by tbe airing
and feared to repeat it. We were disposed to tliink,
however, that he declined to exercise beoanse tie
felt that it waa bnmiliatiug for bim to walk the
deck in company with an officer as guard.
I have been informed that the newspapers re-
ported the Franklin off Bamegat last Saturday.
The report was correct. We were there, but were
driven off by the north-east gales. We were blown
off at least one hundred and twenty-five niilas, and
it waa not till 4 o'clock yesterday that we were able
temake any headway toward New York.
TElB TBIAU 07 THB FRASKXJS.
The Franklin was tbirty-etght days in making
the island of St. Thomas, in the West Indies, airiv-
iag there on the 5th inst. From first to last the
passage was tedious and, as the sailors say, " nasty."
Not being able to carry coal for the entire voyage
the ship waa compelled to rely upon her sails alone,
and with a keel covered with barnacles, as is hers
after thrse years cmiaing, anything like fast sailing
was out of tbe qnesthm. To add to these misfor-
tunes she struck a succession of adverse gales
^hioh lasted About two weeks, and was fol-
lowed by calms, during {he prevalence of which
the legate drifted far out of her coarse. After
these calms a few daya of favorable trade winds
were met with, but these in tarn gave place to
head winds, which soon swelled into a succes-
Bli>n of stiff gales, aeainst which bat
trifling headway could be made even with steara.
When tbe i*'ranklin finally made tbe harbor of St,
Thomas it was tbe occasion for general rejoicing
among her officers and crew, aU of whom were
weary and well near worn oat with fiiijcne.
Three dRys were consumed in taking in coal
and provisions at this port, and then, on the 8th
instant, tbe old fni'ate aeain rolled out upon the
bosOm of tbe deep and bent ail her energies toward
home. But her misfurtapes were by no meaes at
an end. From St. Thomas to New-York is a long
way, and &t this season of the year tbe winds are
usually adverse to a vessel bound to tbe nrthtrard.
At ail events they vrCre much too adverse to please
tOose on board the FranKlin, wh<r, as on tbe run
from Vigo to the West Indies, were compelled to
beat against sales and strong north-east winds tbe
entire distance.
rS^ TKLSKLXS'S HOVEMBNTS,
According to the orders receired from Washing-
ton it waa intended that tbe Franklin should
at onoe proceed to Norfolk, after placing Tweed
in the bauds of the State officials,- but
aa Capt. Franklin reported to Commodore
Nicholson that he was short of coal, tbe latter
direeted bim to come into the harbor in order that
he might obtaia a anpplv. Immediately upon tbe
departure of the tugs with tbe prisoner, therefore,
the Franklin got nnder weigh and' steamed up tbe
b«v, and sbortly before S o'clock came to anchor
off the Battery. Her appearance indicated that she
had experienced very heavy weather on
her voyag^ as the palm on her sides was mnch
worn and disSsured with stains of iron rnst. Her
masts and yards were also much disflgnred by tbe
black smoke of the bituminous coal obtained in
Tlgo and St. Thomas. Commodore Totten stated
last evening that Capt. Franklin bad orders to
Pl^oceed to NorfolK immediately after banding
Tweed over to tbe State authorities. She will

eollsr, a black alpaca coat that sagged ip the back
and the sides id a most unbecoming manner, a dirry
brown vest and a pair of checked trowsera. He
tarried a small baud-bag in which were some
elotfaes that he had purchased at Yigo. The bag-
gace that was taken from him by tbe Spanish au-
thorities at tbe time of his capture, they
had put under seal, aid in this
form it was received by us. We
did not break the sealx, but stowed the bandies m-
tact' in a room in the ship. Tbe seals were not
hroken until we reached New-York. £very balf-
hoor this room waa visited by a Coriwral, wno waa
required to report to tbe Fxecnuve Officer
that tbe saals had not been disturaed,
Tweed looked himself over in a comical
irar afrer he reacned his qaarters, and
tben tnraing to rbe Captain said, "Ton see I've
been trying (o brush myself up a little out of re-
ipect to tbe people tbat I am going to see." Tweed
teemed to be iu excellent spirits. He said be had
ao objecil^DS at all to relamlnic to New-Tork.
Whetiier this was biagidoou or not I am unable to
lay, but 1 Kcow that be kept up his spirits ihrougb-
t>ut the voyiige. I never saw bim at ail despondent,
■ever beard bim utter a word of regret (bat be bad

rWEKiys HABITS OK BBIF-BOARD.
Wo left Vieo the 28th of September. We had
Intendedto leave tbe night of the 2dth, bat we were
detained by h*ad winds. The same trouble attended
the ship toe entire passage. It was impossible to
load her with sufficient coal to take her across the
ocean independent of her sails. We were obliged,
therefore, to depend largely upon the winds, and
tnoagh we conned favorable breezes, from tbe time
Ke lutt'Yigo we ncTer bad our court answered.
Wnen we did get a wind in the right direction it
was so light thut it tailed to move usiabead at any
■pprt^cii«lMe speed. We were a long time getting
to St. Thomas, and then we were a long time
getting from St. Thomas to New-York. We had

two weeks aao, J^t oefore we tiot to St. 'Ibomas.
But bis sicknesses were not at all serious. He was
* fcs well as ever in a cuapie of days.
As {>t Tweed's betaaviour during tbe voyage, I
may say tuao be acted a perfect gentleman. He
lmpresse.1 us all vtry favorably. He seemed
to have the true grit m nim. He was very sociable
indeed. His saluon bad, liefore he come on board,
been used as a smoking-room for the offioera, and it
was quite natnial fur tbem to drop in afier dinner
to ra K with Xweoc or to play a game of whist or
eocUre wi.h him. And the oid gentlemau was al-
ways pleasod to see tbe officers. He treated tbem
very politely. He euj.iyed most of all his little
games of cards with tbem, and he really played a
very sharp and lively hand at almost anytbine.
Xbe officers were directed never to speak
to Tweed about hia New-York troubles, and they
were very caretul to obey instructions. On tbe
otber baud, Tweed bad very little to say on the
subiect. I don't know that 1 ever heard hiui speak
of the matter sxcept ia the most general way, such
as to say, that he was very willing to eet uack to
Americ.i. He was very fond of reading, and spent
all of bis time, when not in company witn the
othcers, in poring over the newspapers tnatwo gave
him and such books as be could prucnre. IT Don the

He seemed to be tboroagbly posted in Isew-Yuik

reminiscences ot tbe Fourth Ward were perhaps
tba moat amusing. Tweed was told that io need
not be backward about aslcing for anything
he might want. Whatever the ship con-
talued was at bis diaponaL He asked fur
very little, however. He was apparently

TWEED'S EXILfi CUT SHORT.
DISTBICT ATXOKNBY PHELPs' PART IN SK-
CURING THE FUQITIVK — ACTION OF THE
" SPANISH GOVERNMENT AND SURRENDER
OF THE PKI30NEB.
As early aa the month of June last. District
Attorney Phelps waa informed that Twted waa
ia Santiaao de Cuba, wbithei he had proceeded
from Havana, and immediately commenced pro-
ceedings with ths view of securing tbe
arrest and extradition of the fugitive. He for-
warded all the papers in the several Tweed suits to
the Attorney Genera), with a request tbat he should
interest the State Department in tbe matter, and
was sucoessfol in securing its active co-operation.
Final y the Spanish Government consented to tbe
extradition of Tweed in return fur the courtesy ex-
tended to it some years ago in the Arguelles
case. The American Consnl in Havana, accord-
mgly, applied to Captain General Jovellar for pos-
Bsasiou of the body of Tweed, and the Captain
General expressed his readiness to arrest tbe fagi-
live and send bim back to tbe United States. Be-
fore that purpose could be accomplished, however,
Tweed was apprised of tbe intended action and
sailed from Santiago de Cuba, for Yigo, a port of
Spiiia, on the 27th of Jnly, on board tbe
ship Caimen. The State Department, however,
did not abandon its efforts to effect tbe capture
of Twesd, and ascertained through Hon, Caleb
Cnshing, the American Minister at Madrid, that
the Spanish Government was willing to arrest
Tweed in any part of tbe Spanish territory,
and deliver bim to the United States, and being ap-
prised of the destination of Tweed, issued special
orders to tbe authorities of Yigo to keep a sharp
look-out for the Carmen and her passenger. On
tbe 6[b of September, after a tediuns passage of
forty-one davs, the Carmen arrived at Yigo, an J
was boarded by the Governor, who immediately
identified Tweed from jphotographs which had been
furnished him, notwithstanding tbe fact that the
fugitive had. tried to di'stniise bimselt as a deck
hand. Tweed waa registered aa "John Secor," the
name in which bis Cuban passport had been made
ont, and was accompanied by a man calling himself
William Hunt, wuo is snppused to oe either the
nephew, son-lu-law, or servant of tbe fallen
chieftain. Tweed and his traveling companion
were immediately placed under airest and removed
to the fertress of Castilo del Castro under a siiong
guard. Nobody was allowed to hold communication
with the prisousrs, nor were they allowed to apeak to
each other, but received every attention compatible
with prison discipline. Tbe Ingcage of the fugitives,
after being sealed, waa also removed to tbe prison
to await turtber disposition. Meanwhile the fact of
tbe arrest had been tranimitted to Washington,
and it was decided to detail the United States
frigate Franklin, of the Mediterranean Squadron,
then nnder orders for home, toconvevtbefu.iitiveto
the United States. Accordingly, when theif'raoklin
called at Gibraltar tor coal she received orders from
tbe Navy Department to proceed to Yigo, take
Tweed on board, convey bim to tbe harbor of New-
York, and allow no peison whatever to communicate
with him until the Naval authorities had been heard
from. To Yigo, aceordinglv, tlie Franklin pi oceeded,
leaviuK Gibraltar |on the 22d of Sencember, and on
arriving at her destination on the 26tb, a cunftjrence
took place between her commander, Capt. Franklin,
and Acting United States Minister Adee, in the
course of which all neeesssary arrangements were
made for tbe transfer of the prisoners. State-
ments having been made to the effect tbat Tweed
would-cummlt snicide rather than return to New-
Yor&, Minister Adee luslraoted Commander
Franklin to keep the prisoner closely cuuflned, in
order to prevent all possibility of an attempt on
bis life. On tho evening of the 26ch Tweed and
Hunt, together with their sealed effects, were
transterred ft om the fortress at Yigo, where they
bad been confined twenty days, and placed ou
board the Franklin, tne baggage being placed
in a locked and sealed room under
gaard nntil disposed of by the United
Slates authorities. During the cobfluement of
Twee^ a man who had registered at the
hotel in Yigo as " B. Sands" offered laige sums ut
money to be allowed an interview with the pris-
oner, but did not succeed. He was subsequently
iuentlfled by an American as William M. I'weed,
Jr., who knew of tbe destination sf thetagluve and
awaited bis arrival. Hunt, tbe companion of
Tweed, was informed op board tbat be might de.
part or accompany his friend, as he prefurred. He
ttladly cbuse tbe former alternative, and took leave
of '* the Bobs " without a private iutertiew. After
his release Hunt, who in dress and manner appears
to be a Bseobanic, Immediattly visited the Hoctl
Fnropa, had an interview wiih '•Sands," (youoK
Tweed.) and both lefc for Soutbampton on the Pa-
citic steamer MondoKO, which sailed tbat day. At
about noon of tne same day tbe Franklin, witU
Tweed on board, left Yigo for New- York.

IN WHICH HE SAILED FROM NBW-YORK
AS A PASSENGER.
Tweed sailed from this port on the 23th of
May last, far the West Indies, safely ensconced as
a passenger on board the schooner Frank Atwood,
which was at tbat time and is still under the com-
mand of Capt. Bryan, a jovial man of about forty
years of age. The vessel was cleared at the Cus-
tom-house on May 27, and it is generally be-
lieved that she then went to tbo luw-
er bay where she waa held in wair-
Ing fur the arrival of Tweed, who was takun
taken on board of her in a small boat from tbe Long
Island, Slaten Island, or New-Jersey shore. There
are in this City several persons to whom, it is said,
the circumstances connected with his escape are
well known. Two of them are popularly known as
'•Red Dan" and "Big Bob." Another, whose name
is Philip Knigbten, is well known and employed by
many of the fruit dealers in this City, and has been
working along the East Eiver for some years. This
man denied to a reporter of The Times yesterday
all knowledge ot the manner in which Tweed's es-
cape was effected, and asserted tbat he should not
know Tweed were te to meet bim op the street.
"Bed Dan" is more properly Daniel Talmadse,
and he was as emphatio as Koigtiten iu bis
denial of any knowledge of the facts given
above. He was a foreman ia ths Five Depart-
ment when Twesd was connected with ''BIk 6."
"Big Bob," a 'longsnoreman, ia several eonversa-
tions eonveyed the tmpresslen tbat he knew more
regarding tbe matter than be wished to tell.:. At
way, if the npattgf was a ditsotive. Being an-
swered in the negative, he said : " Well, I wish I
knew more than I do, or that I did not not know so
much." Beyood this he would say nothiog, and
has persistently adhered to this determination.
Aaother man rejoicing in the name of "Bik Bob" is
Bobeft Evans, and he also seemed to be possessed
of information tbat would at least furnish some clue
to the identity of the persons engaged in the escape,
but he is also close-mouthed and mysterious.
The Frank At^vood is a tnm-looking schooner,
owned by James Murray, and is used as a fruiter,
plying mainly between this port and the West In-
dies for various.! rnit-dealers of this City. Nearly
every one whose time is spent on the !East Biver
ft'ont bslow tbe Fulton Ferry has heard rumors
mora reeardlng the escape of Tweed on board the
Atwood, and tbe matter has been thoronehly can-
vassed. It is alstv-asserted tbat Sharkey w^bt to
Cuba on board of her, tbe story being tbat lie was
shipped by Capt. Brvan as a sailor, without the lat-
ter beine aware of his identity. The vessel In
question is one of tbe swifcest among tbo many of
her elass tbat come into this port.
THE CIRCUMSTANCES ATTENDING HIS 1>IS-
APPEARANCB.
It Will be remembered that Tweed, after
having served one yeair of the twelve years' im-
prisonment in tbe Penitentiary imposed npon him
by Judge Davis, was released from confinement
under a decision of the Court of Appeals and
brought to this City. Fpon his arrival
from Blaokwell's Island he was at once placed
nnder srre«t in the civil snlt ' which had been
brought against him for tbe recovery of $6,000,000,
and sent to Ladlow Street Jail, •being unable
to secure bondsmen. His confinement in fhat
place, however, was merely formal, for, from
the time of his committal until, the day on which
he made his escape, he was allowed to come
and go almost at Will, and, though be was always
accompanied by Warden Dnnham, he was virtually
under no restraint whatever. In tbis war he was
in the habit of taking occasional drives, and bis
visits to tbe residence of bis family on Madison
avenne were bv no means infrequent. On tbe
nisbt of Dec. 4 Warden Dunham, accompanied by
Keeper Edward i^agan, drove up to the
Nmeteenth Precinct Station-house, in Fifty-ninth
street, and annonneed to tbe astonished officers tbat
Tweed had just escaped from their custody. Capt.
Mount at once telegraphed tbe tact to Police Head,
quartets, with a request tbat a general alarm be
sent ont. In a comparatively short time the entire
Police force of tbe City bad the news, and were
looking for tbe fngitive. It appeared tbat on that
morning Tweed accompanied by Dunham and
his deputy, left tbe jail, and, being joined bv
William M, Tweed, Jr., the party entered a carriage
and were driven through tho Bowery, Fourth ave-
nue, Broadway, Fifth avenue, and the Wesrern
Boulevard, to the vicinity of Hieb Bridge. During
tke drive, which occupied nearly the entire after-
noon, Tweed appeared to be in unusually good
spirits, and never betrayed tbe slightest anxiety or
nervousness. The carriage was finally driven to
tbe corner of Madison aveuae and Sixtieth street,
and the party alighted and proceeded to Tweed's
reside'noe, situated only a few steps distant, tbe
carriage being left in Sixtieth street. Arrived at
tbe bouse they entered the front parlor, and
were joined by Tweed's son-in-law, Mr. Douglass,
acd Bichard Tweed. Finally, Tweed, leaviug
the chair in wnich he had been seated, inti-
mated to Warden Buubam that be would like to
step up stairs for a few momsnts to see his wife.
Permission was given bim to do so, and be moved
toward the duor leading into tbe hallway. Hagau
crossed the room at the time, and saw that be
started up stairs. No turtber attention was paid
to his movements by the officers, for somethins
over five minutes, wben Duubam snegested ihat
tbe time had arrived for tbem to return to the jail,
at the same time requesting you: g Tweed to
acquaint bis father witu tbat fact. Young Tweed
went up stairs, and returning almost immediately,
quietly said: "Father's gone." Tbe Warden
ortler^d Hagan i o proceed up stairs and search for
tbe prisoner, while he himself searched the lower
portion of tho house. Tbis search proved fruit-
less. While it was being carried on by the officers,
a dramatic scene was being enacted in tbe hallway.
Mrs. Tweed stood at the" head of the stairway
bvlden ly in a state of great excitement, hereon
and son-in-law being below, the former clutching
wildly at his hair and saying tbat .his father
bad riyined bim and his tamily, and the ilfebr going
about as ii be were insane. Wheu the parf^ arrived
at tne house, Tweed wore a heavy beaver overcoat
and high hat, and when it was disc'ftvered that he
had made bis estiape, tb*se ai tides wiere still there,
the former on the kat-rack iu ihe hallway and the
latttr on a table in tbe panor, while a long cioa£
and slouoheu bat,- which the officers nad noticed
when they entered, were gone, ihe carriage m
which the'pariy bad been drivine about duriun the
day still stood on the corner, and tne driver wnen
interrogated denied bavins seen any one leave the
boose.
Shortly after tbe departure of Dunham frem the
station-house. Inspector Thome arrived tbpre, and
beina informed of what bad occurred, took with
him Sergt, Whitcombe, peteotive ucliowan, and
a patrolman, and staried for Tweed's residence, tor
tbe purpose of searcuing it thoroughly. Ou arriv
ing there he found every apartment in tbo house
lighted with gas, as though the tatrily invued
inspection. Placing one of tbe officers at the
,rear doer, another at the front basement door, and
the Sergeant iu the hallwav, the Inspector person-
ally examined every lOom in the building. This
search, like tbat of Warden Dunham, was totally
unrewarded by the finding ot any trace, wba. ever
of the whereabouts or manner ot departure of
the "Boss." Duubam had looked m vain for
Sheriff Conner, and had fiually proceeded to the
lall, and the latter being intormei of the escape of
his prisoner, proceeded at ouce to the station-house
for the purpose of learning some additional par-
ticulars. Ho went laior to tbe rsbidence of Mr.
Matiuii and bad a long consultation pith tbat gen-
tleman. Later in the evening Warden Dunham
offered a reward of $10,000 for tbe capture of
tbe man who bad so successfully duped bim.
Word was sent to Gov. Tilden, who was in
tbe City at the time, and he signified his Intent^ion
ot holdiag tho Sheriff personally responsible for the
act of his deputy in allowing rue prisoner to leave
tbe jail. This threat, however, was never put iuto
execution.
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST TWEED.
A SKETCH OF THE CIVIL AND CRIMINAL
PROSECUTIONS— THREE SlJlTS FOR DAM-
AUES AND SIXTEEN INDICTMENTS PEND-
ING AGAINST HIM.
Tweed will have his hands full of litigation,
now that be has returned. In the way of civil pro-
ceedings there are now pending three suits against
him. One of these is the $6,000,000 suit brought by
the people of the State, in which a judgment against
him was obtained before Judge Westbrook and a
struck jury in March last, Tbiacase was appealed to
the General Term of the Supreme Court, where it was
recently argued, the decision being reserved. The
action was bronght under the act of 187& on 150
frandnleut warrants made under the Board of Audit
act. A second suit against Tweed, alse brought in
the name of the People of the State, is to recover
about J1,000,000 on County warrants. In this case
a special or siruck lury has been selected, and the
trial of the case will probably follow that of tbe
Sweeny 87,000,000 suit which is set down for Tues-
day, Jan. 2, 1877, before Judge Westbrook. Besides
these there is the suit for $7,000,000 brought in tne
name of the Mayor, Sec, which combines the causes
of aotiun of the other suits. In this latter action
the sumasonn was served in 1871 by Kichird O Gor-
man, their Corporation Counsel. The compluiut
was served only 'within tbe past three months, atiti
the action itself is regarded as a precautionary mea-
sure to btf used in case the other suits are defeatad
owing to lack of authoriiy on the part ot tbe people
Of tbe State to maintain the action. As will be re-
membered, Tweed's escape was before the
judgment in the $6,t)00,CCO suit was
obtained, and while he was ueni by the Sheriff in
default of iJ3,000.000 bail, into whose custody the
Tammany ex-cuiettaiu had been given on June22,
1875. Tiiere are uow also sixteen criminal ii.diui-
meuts pending against Tweed, One of these is
that found against him aud Connolly on Nov, 22,
1872, and charges tbem with false pretmnses. lu
having procuvea the si^anatuie ot A. Oakey llall,
when Mayor, to one of Andrew J. Gjrvey's bills
for 6125,707 59, for alteratioua alleged to have
been mdde on tbe aqueduct between Ninety-
third and One Hundred and Thirteeuth
straets. A second ludiutment was lounu on
June 16, 1875. Iu it Tweed, Sweeny, and Wood-
ward are charged with conspiracy to delraua the
City, in having procured liairb signature t« a
plumbing bill .■! Koyscr & Co. for $50,95^ 85, pre-
sented on June 18, 1870.- The bail on these indlct-
meute is $4,000, Aiired ii. Sands being Tweeu's
bondsman. Besides these there are fourteen oiher
indictments, on which Tweed was held in J14,0iJ0,
Charles Devlin being his bondsman. Or these i.<ur-
teen indictments six are for forgery, six lor misae-
meanor, one for felouy, and one for conupiraoy to
detiaud. Tweed was called ou in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer on June 22, 1875, to plead to the
tws first-mentioned indictmeutd.
■WHAT MK. DUDLEY FIELD THINKS.
Dudley Field, in conversation with a Times re
porter, last evening, said he had had no communica-
tion with Mr. Tweed since his escape, and knew
nothing of th^ affair excepting what he read in tba
papers. He knew of no aoiioii, be iaid, which was
to be taken in the matter by the counsel for Tweed.
The oflicials could, of course, imprison Tweed in
Ludlow Street Jail on the order of arrest obtained In
the $6,000,000 suit, but they would have
to issue execution against his body within a limited
time, the execution against Tweed's property hdv-
ing been returned unsatisfied. Mr. Tweed can then.
If he can raise the necessary ball, be released on
tbe limits. Under the act for the release of poor
debtors, &o., it has been held in the Court of Com-
mon Pleas that tbe person under arrest
mast prove afiQrmatively "that he bas dis-
posed of none of his property fraudu-
lently. If Mr. Tweed could show this he could
be released from arrest In this way. Supplement-
ary prooeedinsa may possibly be had, under the
jadgmsnt in the ^,000,000 suit, to ascertain wbat
property is in Mr. Tweed's possession, &o.
probable that the counsel for Tweed will endeavor
to procure Tweed's release from imprisonment. In
case of Tweed's release from arrest on account of
the' judgment in tbe 16,000,000 suit, tbe oonn-
p«l tor the people will, i t is presumed, nounce
upon him and incarcerate him under an
order of arrest obtained in the |7,000,COO suit. It
is probable, also, tbat in such an event District At-
torney Phelps would not be backward m enforcing
the law against Tweed on the criminal indict-
ments. Some veiy curious points of law may also
be raised by Tweed's bondsmen in tbe criminal in-
dictments, whose bonds were forfeited in tbe Court
of Oyer and Terminer shortly after the eacape.
TBE BILLIARD TOURNAMENT.

THI^EE POORLY CONTESTED GAMES — DALY,
CYBILLB DION, AND SLOSSON DEFEAT
JOSEPH DION, OABNIEB, AND SHAEFFER
pESPKCTIVKLY.
There was a goodly number of spectators
present yesterday afternoon at Tammany Hall to
witness tbe eighth game of the national billiard
tournament, the contestants in which were
Maurice Daly and Joseph Dioc. Game was
called at ten minutes after 3 o'clock, Mr.
Neil Bryant aoting as referee. Daly wtm the lead,
but the play waa generally poor until the sixth
inning, m which Dion got good balls and played
them beautifully for 50 points, when they were
on the end cushion. A mass6 and a "draw " then
placed them on the left oashion and he began a
"nnrse," the inning netting him 88 points. The
ordinary play of both, however, soon developed
the fact tbat the game woald be a close one through-
out, and although some very pretty rnns were
made the game was by no means a brilliant one.
At the end of the twelfth inning the score stood,
Daly, 87 ; Dion, 111. In the next inning
Daly, by Judicious play and very appa-
rent hard work, put in a run of
51 points, which was supplemented by his oppo-
nent in'the thirteenth with one of 65. From this
time unrll the last inning of the game, the twenty-
sixth, nothing especially worthy ot note occurred.
Daly then went to work and made a run of 69,
,Dion having scored 233. The following is the
score :
Dalt-O, S, 0, 15, 0, 1, 1, 48, 0, 0, 0, 19, 61. 19, 1, 11 ,

CTRILLE DION VERSUS GARNIER.
The first game of tbe evening and the ninth reg-
ular game of tbe tournament was between Cyrilla
Dion and Albert Gamier. The latter won the lead,
and made a- counting stroke, but went out on an
easy draw after scoring three. Both players
made poor scores during tho next inning,
but in the third Dion got the balls to-
gether by several well-execdted shots, and
scored 34 points. Gamier tailing to count. Dion
again got the balls into position and played tbem
for 32 pi ints. Gnrnier played for position, but
filled to cotint on his fourth shot, leaving the balls
ia a bad position. Dion failed to count, aud al-
though five successive fulures on Garnier's part
followed, Dion was unable to score more than 23,
the jame standing at tbe end of tbe tenth iunmg
102 for Dion and 8 for Garnier. Gamier made a
brilliant round-tbe-table shot, which elicited ap-
plause, but failed on the next shot, leaving the
balls in a heap fir Dion. The latter, by careful
" nursing." ran up 60, when he went out on an easy
draw. Garnier now began some very care-
ful play fjr position, and having got the
balls well in hand, rojled up a fine run of
50. During the next ten'innlngs tbe play was very
piior, bat Dion filially got the balls in position, and
began a "purse " afeua the ra:I toward the too ot
the table, which netted bim 74 points. Garnier
opened his twenty-third muing with a
btaatilul long "loilow," and getting tbe
balls in position by a few well-executed
shots, rolled up a fihe^ score of 14.
leaving the score at this point 5810 for Gamier to 257
tor Dion. Thf latter played very poorly during tbe
next seven Innings, but Garnier was unable to fol-
low up his larto run, aud in his thirtieth inning
lelt the balls in a good posi ion tor Dion, who
scored thirty-seven points, and won the ^ame by the
following score:
Dion— 8, 6, 34, 32, 0, 8, 13, 0, 2, 60, 0, 2, 7, 0, 11, 0,

BL08S0N VERSUS 8HAEFFEE.
The next game oetween Jacob Sbaeffer andGrorge
Slosson, contrary to general expectation, proved a
most tedious and tmiuteresting contest, the ner-
vousness of the competitors preventing them from
exhibiting btil.iaut play. The game was
begun at 9:44 o'clock, Sba ffer win-
ning the lead and seleotiug the white ball. He
made a counting stroke, but went out after making
three points. In his thirteenth icning, Slosson,
who had been playing poorly, changed bis
cue. The change, howeypr, did not result
satisfactorily, for, with fiw exceptions, his
play could hive beep exct'lled liy
almost any amateur. Shat-ffor played n.) better as
a general thing, and in his foriy-feventh inning
fjrfi led one point to his opponent for u "miss.
In hij twelf h inning' however, he enlivened the
game by milking a hue run of 52. Tbis he foUowetl
np later m the game with a run of 37. The game
went on with agonizing siowness, until Slosson, in
the forty-ninth inning, made a run o- 28 points, wtn-.»

A SWINDLER ARRESTED.
NEW-YORK
MERCHANTS VICTIMIZED — THE
OLD TRICK AGAIN.
Special DiapatcS to tht New- York Times.
St. Albans, Nov. 23. — At about 1 o'clock
this morning, a man named A. Oppenheim was ar-
rested and lodged in jail here, on a charge of swin-
dling four Now- York merchants. It seems tbat
about two months since Oppeuhelm went to New-
York and, claiming to be a mercbant dolne business
in this place, obtained from the following dealers
goods to theamonntsnamed : M. Abrams, $59; n. Har-
ris, $152; Barnert Lewis, S160; K. Kothstein, §448. He
gave in payment day notes signed with a ficticious
name. No returns being received from the goods,
or payment made on the notes, Mr. Botbstein and
a son of Mr. Jlanis arrived here last night, and in-
voked Sherifi Morrili's aid, with the above result.
Oppenheim has sold most of the goods to various
parties aud now claims to have nothing left; but
hia brother, who resiJes in Burlington, says he has

LOCAL MISCELLANY.
♦ . ... ■ ■ '
MBS. CASSELMaN IN PBI80N.
SHE BEMOANS HER FATE AND BEPBOACHES
THE PUBLIC — DE. BREEES CONSIDERS
THAT SHE IS A VICTIM OF CHRONIC MON-
OMANIA.
Whatever little fortitude Mrs. Caeselman
possessed at the time of her arrest and examination
at the Washington Place Police Court, seems alto
gether to have abandoned her siucie her removal to
the Tomba. Yesterday morning, after read-
ing tbe comments on ber ease in the pa-
pers, she gave way to a flood of tears,
and otherwise acted like a woman broken-hearted
by misfortune and suffering. The matron of the
prison, Mrs. Poster, did all In her power to calm
the prisoner's agitation, but without success. "VThat
pained Mrs. Cas^elman most, she said, was certaip
striotnres on her character ptiblished in a morning
paper, which she deemed unnecessarily harsh and
insdlting. If misfortune or the force of circum-
stances made her the inmate ol a prison, she was
not, abe asserted, an adventuress, much lass athiet
" Why am I bounded down." she said to Dr. Brekes
yesterday morning. " I am not a murderess or a
felon that I should be so persecuted. Tbe public
press is'teeming with my alleged offenses. Hut I
am not conscious of having been guilty of any
serious breach of tbe law. If I have not paid my
way in a few boarding-bouses, and left owing a few
weeks' board bUI, where is the great harm in tnat.
I am not the only offenaer in this
particular. Several people of greater preten-
sions have done the same and worse, and yet
they are not imprisoned nor held up btforethepub-
lie as dangerous criminals. But I am only a poor,
defenseless woman, and tber fore I am a fit subject
for persecution and slander." In this strain, be.
moaning her fate and reproacUing the public, she
spent most of tbe forentxin, nntil finally she had
worked herself into such a frenzy that she became
hysterical and subsequently fell into a long swoon.
In the afternoon the Doctor reported her condition
as being improved. She was again calm and recon-
ciled.
Yesterday morning Dr. Brekes concluded his
medical examination on her meatal condi-
tion. Af.er a careful study of all the
facis In tne case presented for his information,
and taking into consideration tbe peculiar nature
of her offenses, the Doctor came to the conclusion
thai she was not legally responsible for her acts.
His opinion Is that she is the victim of chronic
monomania, accompanied with tbe delusion of
possessing imaginary wealth. This report of
ber mental aberrations entitles her to an
acquital, and she will be accordingly discharged,
unless the accusation of larceny brought against her
by Mrs. Walsh of Seventn avenne should be
Pressed, which is not lively under the present cir-
cumstances. After her release from prison shall
have taken place, if she have friends who are will-
ing to take care of her, she will De placetl under
their protection. If such friends ars not present,
tbo Commissioners of Chanties and Correction will
take her in charge.
Dr. Brekes has been confirmed in his opinion sf
her monomania by additional evidence which ne re-
ceived yesterday in her case. The cashl'^r
of a bank in Jersey City called on the
Doctor, and stated tbat he waa acquainted
with Mrs. Casselman. That at one time sue came
to his bank to make a deposit of $100,000, and went
through all tbe formalities of making out checks
for that amaunt. whem he well knew she was not
worth a dollar. Dr. A. A.* Luttkins, ot Jersey
City, also wrote the following to Dr. Brekes wben
he learned of ner strange conauot in Now- York :
Jkrsbv CiTT, Sor. 21, 1876.
To Whom It Mat Coschrii : I uereuy Certify that
Sirs. L. S. Uasselman resided in this city onring the
years 1870, 1871, and part or whole ol 1872, during
which time 1 professionally attended berself aud
liimlly. she left and removed to iiew-York, leaving a
bill uupiiu amountiuz to $90. Shortly afterward t>he
left it note at my cffica to l-ave me bCud my collec-
tor to ^ew-Yorfe, designating the street and num-
ber, to receive the ahiouuc of said bilL ihe
messenger could , not find Mrs. Casselman,
or tfny person there wuo knew of her. A
few moat.s or weeks later she callea at my ofQoe dur-
ing m.y absence aud left a note leqaesling uie to make
out a new Dill, sa,ying that she would cail again aud
pay it. •■^he repeated this p rtorminee severdl times,
uui I never happeuea to oe home waen she called, auu
I Anally lost sitibt of her.* I account for her strange
conduct as resulting from unsoundness of mind. Since
reading ot her conauct recently I have no doubt of it.

The eleventh monthly contest for the cham-
pion cap of the Long Island Shooting Club took
place yesterday at the club grounds near East New-
York. Tbe attendance waa good, tbe day very fa-
vorable for pigeon shooting, aud the birds supplied
were unnsally fast and wild. The shooting ef the
contestants was not equal to the average. Thir-
teen competed for thrf cup, but only one, Dr.
. Wynne, succeeded m knocking down his seven
birds. Mr. E.idin, the last holder of the cup, shot
very pooily, but under tbe rules he had to allow all
others seven feet rise, ho shooting at thirty-two
yards, while all other contes. ants shot at twenty-
five yards. The following is a summary :

IN DEFAULT OP BAIL — THE SFUEIOUS
NOTES FOUND.
Richmond, Nov. 23. — Lang and Boland, who

to-day, and were committed to jail in default of
bail.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 23, — The Commercial's Eich-
moud, Ind., special says : " On the person of one
of the parlies arrested was found $860 of counter-
feit money, and ^4,000 more was discovered in their
baitgage. Among the spurious notes are 550 Treas-
ury notes, very tair imitations of the issue of 1869 ;
120 Treasury notes of the second issue, and fives on
the Traders' National Bdnk of Chicago. The lat-

THE WEST INDIA ISLANDS.
TEE TELIMA.N FORQEBT CASE.
Detective Reilly, of the Central Office, who
was sent to Canada for the purpose of oroenring
the extradition of William T. Veltman, the ex-
book-keeper of Bryce & Smith, liquor dealers of
No. 83 Front street, who was arrested for forgeries
committed ou the Merotaants' Exchange
National Bank of this City, returned yes-
terday without the forger. Reilly reports that
when he arrived at Hamilton, Ontario, he fonod
Veltman still In custody, but the anthoritles, al-
tboogh wishing to extradite him, held that they
could not &o so owing to the abrogatian of the
tieaty under which criminals had been heretofore
sent back to the United States. There were dif-
ficulties in the way of extraditing Veltman,
which are precisely similar to those in
the Winslow case, but these the author-
ities believed oonld be obviated by a request
from the United States Government for the rendi-
tisD of the prisoner to the United States authori-
ties which would be probably granted. The Police
authorities promised to keep Veltman in custody
and use every legal measure to detain him if the
United States Government would ask for his deten-
tion. They were in hopes that the practice of ex-
traditing criminals would soon be resumed, and
expressed themselves anxious for tbe negotiation
ot a new treaty. Snpeilntendont Walling placed
these facts before the District Attorney, but it is
not known yet whether the United Slates Govern-
ment will be asked to interlere.
TBT RECHSTBATION OF VITAL STATISTICS.
The Public Health Association of this City
held a special meeting last night at their rooms. No.
12 West Thirty-first street, forthepurposeof taking
into csnsideration the question as to the best
method of securing a more accurate registration of
births, marriages, and deaths, and of providing for
the abatement of suburban nuisances. Dr. Charles
F. Chandler, President of tbe association, occu-
pied the chair. He* stated the substance of
the proposed laws under discussion, and said
that as regards the law for the more complete regis-
tration of births, marnases, and deaths, it
was a measure founded upon similar stat-
utes in England, France, Belgium, aud Germany,
and he thought the law a very important one.
Dr. Elisha Harris said the best registration laws
existed in ths City of Boston, and tbe second best
in Providence. The laws In this City were very
imperfect, especially in regard to births and mar-
riages. He closed his remarks by advocating a
compulsory svatem of registration. Some turtber
discussion ensued, and the meeting adjourned
without adopting any resolution or agreeing as to
the best plan to be pursued.

Havana, Nov. 23. — The English steamer

The only port continuing in arms
against the Government of Gonzales was the south-

Advices from Hayti to the 11th say everything is
quiet in that Bepublio, and there will be a full coffee

THE ''CROOKED" WHISKY CASES.
ARGXTMBKT IN THE CASE OF THE UNITED
STATES AGAINST AI<OIS^ VIEGSZ.S'rOCK
BEFORE THB CIRCIJIT COUBT — I9CPOB-'
TANT POINTS AFFBCTINO OTHER CAftSS.
A suit growing ont of the " crooked " whisky
seizures in the West was argued yesterday in tbe
United States Circuit Court, before Judge Johnson.
It was tbat of the Umted States against fifty bar-
rels of distilled spirits, seized «|i Pier No. S,
Alois Fiegelstook, claimant, and broogbt hers
from tbe District Court on a i^t o^ error. The
facts shown by the bfli of excepttonsln the District
Court are aa follows : In May, 1875, John W. and
Gordon B. Bingham were carrying on the business
of distillers at Patoka, Ind., and there produced the
Spirits proceeded against in this action, and, it is
alleged, part of the time were carrying on business
with intent to defraud the United States of the tax
on part of tbo apirits distilled by them.
It is further alleged that John Kingston was em-
ployed as Superintendent, raid not only knew ot the
fraudnlent business carried on, bat assisted in it.
That in the Fall of .1875 knowledge came to the In-
ternal Revenue Officers of frauds perpetra-
ted by the Binghams, and seisares
were made of sjiirits produced by tbem.
That on the 10th day of May, 1875, the BIngbams
were indebted to John Kingston for goods sold and
delivered to them by him, for money borrowed by
them of him, and for part of bis services as Super-
intendent of one of theii distilleries. That the
soints proceeded against were then sold and trans-
ferred by the Binghams to Kingston ou account of
this indebtedness. That Kingston assumed c'Dtroi
of said spirits, and shipped them to New- York,
and authorized Alois Feigelstock, tbe claimant in
tbis action, to sell the same on bis account.,
end tbat before the seizure Fiegelstook made ad-
vances on tbem In good faitb» aud was to that ex-
tent the bona fide owner at the time of the seizure
in the Southern District of New- York. That the
spirits were produced in a distillery other than
the (me m which John Kingston had been em-
ployert, and that when they were produced be was
no longer in tbe emoioyment ol tbe Binghams ;
that John Kingston did not pay the special tax re-
quired by the laws of the United States to be paid
by a wholesale liquor dealer.
In the District Court, the claimant, by counsel
moved the cnnrt to direct a verdict f jr the claim--
ant, releasing the spirits proceeded against. Tbe
United States District Attorney objected, and re-
quested the court to take the verdict of ibe jury
upon the evidence, unless the claimant shonld have
no evidence to offer, and in that case to direct a
verdict for the United States, and requested that
the court should take the verdict of the Jury npon
the following propositions : Under section 3,242, as
to whether the 'sidrics in snlt were not forfeirrd by
the acts of John Kiugston. Under section 3,281, aa
to whether the spirits in suit were not forfeited by
tbe acts of John W. Bingham, and his brother
Gordon B. Biugbam, irre.ipective of ownership
at the fime of seizure. Under section
3.281 also, as to whether tbe ownership or
part, ownership of the soirits was -,not. In
contemplation of law, m the Binghams at the
time of seizure. Under section 3,281 also, that
Feigelstock's advanoes in good faitn alone can be
released on the evidence as it now stands.
Uuder section 3,453, in connection with
section 3,319, as to whether the spirits
in suit ; were not found within the
possession, bnstody or control of John Kings-
ton, for the purpose of belVig removed or sold, in
violation of section 3,319. Under the same section,
as to whether tae soirits in suit were not found
within the possession, custody, or control ot the
claiiuaDt, with tbe like porpoue; and, fnrrber. that if
thejury oelieve from he evidence that this transac-
tion, as between Feigelstock and Kingston, was a
consignment tor sale, and that the spirits were
seized bel'oie delivery to Faigelstocfe, Feigelstock
acquired no lien or property whatever in the spir-
its ; tbat ibe advance made is a naked debt, John
Kingston 10 Fiogelstock, and that Fiegelstuck
had no rights, as against, the United States, In this
aciion. Tbe court denied tbe motion in behalf of
tbe United States, and directed a verdict io favor
of the claimiut and against the United States, re-
leasing the soirits proceeded against.
Assistant United States Attorney RogePM. Sher-
man appeared f<r the Government, plaintiff in
error, in the United States Circuit Courts. He
argued tbe matter at great length, holding that
Kingston offended against section 3,242, Re-
vised Statu; es of the United States,
by carrying en the business of a whole,
sale liquor-dealer without license; that
tbe spinis were forfeited by the actions of the Bing-
hams eo enstanti with the off 'nee : the Binghams
did not deteat ihe title of the United States bv lbs
transfor to Kingston, nor did the latter ly the trans-
fer to Feigelstock, toat nnder section 3.453 the
intention of Kini:s:on forteits these spirits ; his
ourpoRe was to sell them in disregird of sectioiis
3,319, 3,232, and 3,28L The spniw were seised in
tramitit. If, however, Feigelstock had possession,
his iutention was to sell them in violation of section
3,319.
W. J. Tuska counsel for tbe defendants, also
made an esliaastive argument, after which decision
was reservetL This is regarded as a case ot crreat
importance, as tbe decision will ifiecl many simi-
lar cjses in different parts of the country. Ic is
hardly probable that the decision will be decisive,
as points bare be- n raised that will asstuedty be
taken to the Supreme Court.

VXBIHCT OF THE BBOOKLTN ALDER-
XXK TO BE 6IVEN ON MONDAY NEXT.
The trial ot Citr.Commiasioiier Fowler on
4ha ohargea preferred against him by Mayor
Sehxoeder, was conoiuded Testarday by the Brook-
ijn Board of Aldermen. The first witness called by
ttiie defense was Alfred W. Craven, who testifled
that he bad been for nineteen years Chief Engineer
«f the Croton A.qaednot He had visited
(the Hempstead Seserroir before the excavation,
and was of opinion, from the nature of the ground,
.that Qie priee paid Kingsley and Eeeney for exca-
.vatlen. fifty-five cents a yard, was not unreasonable.
.Wiatesa admitted that the price paid proved to be
•are than ordinarily remnnerative. John Brady, a
oontracter, who had been often at the reservoir, tes-
tified that la his opinion seveotr eents a yard wonid
Jha a fair priee for the excavation. John C. Camp-
>h«ll, Chelf Eneineer of the Department of PubUo
,Worka in New-York, thonght that la 1873 the ex-
,=«Bvation wenld have been worth fifty or^ixty cents
|a yard. James N. Smith, a railroad contractor, gave
lidmllar testimony, bat was of opinion that if the
mtomps of trees had been removed the excavation
iwoold not Juive been worth Bore thaa thirty cents
• yarA.
John T. Cnlyer, Chief Xngiaeer of the Brooklyn
9Park CommlasioB, said that In view of the natore
nf the gronnd to be exeavate4 the weik was worth
:ferty-ilTe te fifty oents. He admitted on eross-ex-
)mlnatlon that, nndsr ordinary eirenmstsiioes, the
■azaavation would not have bfea worth more than
^srenty-seven and a half centa.
Comisel for the defense tntiodaoed evidanee to
■how diat^tbe hid far excavating the ground for the^
?rovidenoe Water-works waa thirtr-eix eents a
yard, but that the aetnal price paid was fifty-one
eents, the contractor who undertook the work at
thlrty-dx cants having failed. Other testimony
wee also introduced to show tnat the contract price
Vvt exoavstlon paid Elngsley and Eeeney by the old
rW ater Board was not extravagant
' A.bner U. Keenev teatltted that he elalmed. with
ioM partner, W. 0. Eingsley, to be now In rlgtatfal
MaaMsion of ths Hempstead fieservoir. He testi-
3sd farther that no work had been done on the
xeeervolr with bla Knowledge befbre the oon tract
wae awarded. City Works Commissioner Adams
jtaatified that Mayor Sehroeder had a oonsnltatioD
hrtth himself and Commissioner Fowler, before
•Pewter'a •nsponslau, and that at that ooasnitation
we sospended Commissioner had urged tbe Mayor
t« hasten ths entering of the order issued by Judge
3arBard direotiac the completion of the Hempstead
I3eaervolr dam. Oa eroas-examlnatloo, the witness
judmltted that Fowler wanted the order entered so
hhat he might appeal from it After snbmirting
Ue message of ex-Mayor Hunter, sent to the Alder-
men June 30, 1873, renominating Fowler, counsel
for the defeukO anaonnoed that he would submit
the ease wlthoat smnmlng np. Corporation Conn*
Ml Be Wilt assented, sod screed not to sum np for
the proaecntloo.
Aldenisn Bay then moved titat before the final
^ote DO taken every Alderman be required te be in
ale aeat Alderman Freneh supported the motion,
vhieh was declared out of order by Alderman Bur-
aett, who waa In the chair. After some farther dls-
fluslon the board adjourned until Monday
.^ext St noon, whan tbe final vote will
De 'taken. Alderman Bamett explained that
Mr. Bay's motion was out of order, because a reaola-
(ion had. at a former session of the board. been passed
Mttloe forth that all the membcTs of tbe board
lihamld have twenry-fonz hours' notice before the
ttaal vote was Uksn. To convlot Fowler a two-
■jbirds vote is necessary. The board at present
Htenda fonrteen Republicans to ten Demecrata. The

Ward:
risania Steain^boat Compaay to stop their opposi-
tion to each other and run tbeii boats in concert,
Watson alleging that the comUination will work in-
jury to him as a stockholder and to variows other
stockholders, some of whom have Initiated
Steps to loin in the preuent suit. A pro-
visional iniunction had been previously eranted,
reatraioing the compann-s from canyins oat
their airreement, .and yfesterday argument was had
In Supreme Court, Chambers, berore Judae Law-
rence, on a motion to make the injunction p^yma-
nent Ex-Judiie Cardozo appeared on behalf of isir.
Watsoti, the plaint IS; Mr. H. H. Anderson for the
Harlem and New-Xorfc Navigation Company, and
Mr. Samuel Ly«n for the Morrisaala Steam-boat
Compauy. The companies, throuj:b their counsel,
denied tnat anyounspiracy against the riiihts of the
public bad been formed by the Directors, or that
any fraud, as asainst either the stookholiters or the
public, waa cootempiaied. It was urged that the
combination was an advantaze to the companies
the stockholders, and the public. It would, and
had, prevented the racing between rival- boats
starring St the same time.
Judge Lawrence seemed to think that the only
question f^r him to consider was whetlier tbe
cooibination waa unlawful under the statute. _ If
the questions of pubUo coLvenienca and public
policy were to become controlling ones, or could
be sbown to be no by counsel, he would allow the
affidavits asked for to be put in.
After arKTument on the question. Judge Lawrence
took the papers, reserving his decision.
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
RESPONSIBtUTT FOR INJURY TO A FREE
^ PA88BNGEB ON A RAILROAD— ACTION
TO COMPKL A CITY TO LEVY A TAX TO
PAT BONDS — MRS. GAINES AND THE
CITY OF NEW-ORLEANS — RUBBER GUMS.
Washington, Nov. 23. — The following cases
were argued in the Supreme Court yesterday :
No. 109.— /ndtanopoiis OTid St. Louis Railroad Com-
pant/ v». Horat. — Error lo the Circuit Court for Mis-
HoorL — The defeuoant in error was a drover, who
was passed by iho company, "oa account of s.ook,"
on the same train with his drove of cattle. Whle
oa the way he was requested to get upon the top of
a car while the '"caboose," as the oar was called in
which he rode, waa changed. While so on the top
of the oar, a sudden coming together of
the oars threw him , of^ and he
struck upon the coupling and was
injured for life. The action is to recover damages
for bis injuries; and the defense was that he was
careless, and thus contributed to the injuries ; and,
farther, that he was carried without responaibilitv
by the company, by a special contract printed on
hispasi. The judgment was for the plaintiff for
$8,000, and it is here contended as below, that ho
w«8 not entlded to recover, travelineupon the pass
he held, and that the accident was the result of the
plaintiff's own negligence. William R. Brown and
J. D. Dye for plaintiff in error, A. G. Porter for
defendant.
No. 110 JonM v». City of Penaacola, and No. Ill—
Brouqhton vt. Same. — Appeal aom the Circuit
Court lor the Northern District ot Florida. These
were actions upon bonds of the city issued in aid of
the*Alabama and Florida Railroad Comuany, asking
that the city authorities be compelled to levy
a tax to pay them. The Court sustained demurrer
to the bills on the ground that it did not show a
case for equity interference, and for the fur-
ther reason that the law under which tbe
tax is asked is nncons^itational The
demtirrer, also raised tbe question wbethet the
present corporation of Pensaoola is liable, as at
present existing, npon bonds isaoed by the old cor-
poration, now dissolved, by a surrender of the char-
ter. It is here insisted that vestedrights, sueh as
those here involved, cannot be effected by legisla-
tive action; that the Leijislature may destroy the
corporation, but it canuot destroy rights ot con-
tract, such as appear in these cases. S. F. Rice,
for appellant; C'. C. Younga for appellee.
No. 113. — Myra Clark Ctaints vs. Smith etal.-~
Error to the Circuit Couit tor Lomsiana. — This
case of Mrs. Gaines against tbe sureties of cbe city,
in her action against the City of New-Orieans, waa
heard on the question, whether Mrs. Gaines ii to be
compelled to wait noon the sureties until all the
objections made to the Marshal's return, and
all the questions as to bis good faith in
the mattt-r of seizure of property of the city
to pay the debt, had been settled. Hur cuunsel
eon tend that the apneal being decided by
this court against the city, and execution having
been issned and returned uasatisfled, the city's
sureties became at once liable, and are not entitled
to have any inquiry made going behind the return
of the MursbaL The sureties insist that they are
entitled to have the action of the Marshal investi-
gated and sustained, beiore they became liable ; and
also, that tbe garnishment of Mra. Gaines' creditors
has substituted them in her place, and that her
creditors, and ndt Mrs. Gaines, are now entitled to
con trol this proceeulng.
No.I13.— Smit/iDs. Goodyear Dental Vuleariite Com-
pany and Bacon. — Appeal trom tbe Ciiouit Court
tor Massachusetts. — The bill in this case was filed
by tbe Dental Company against Smith for an alleged
infringement of a reissued patent for aa improve-
ment in artificial gums and palates. Tbe decree
was for tbe company, and in this court the appel-
lant insists that the patent was void for want of
novelty, and that tbe process of manufacture used
by him was not tbe same as that claimed iu tbe re-
issue, and that there was thereiore uo infringement.
Il is also claimed that there was an abandonment
or forfeiture by the original patentee uf the claim
of the patent by Laches, and subsequeuc acquies-
cence in its use by others ; and that the npneliees;
as snccessors, have relied upon proofs to show that
the patentee bad not intended to abandon his in-
vention, bat was embarrassed in procnrin>; money
to prosecute the Infringements, and only appeared
to do 80, while id fact be was all tbe while making
every eifort to raise money to protect his claim. H.
Baldwin, Jr., for appellant; £. N. Dickerson and B.
F. Lee lor appellee.
In the Supremo Court of the United States to-day,
onmotlon of Mr. P. Phillips, Francis LyndeStetson,-
Eaq., of New-Yor& Ciiy, was admitted to practice
as an attorney and counselor of this coart.
On motim of Mr. H. Baldwin, Jr., Thomas N. Mc-
Carter, Esq., of Newiirk, N. J., was admitted to

year Dental Vulcanite Vompariy et al. — The argu-
ment of this case was continued uy H. Baldwin, Jr.,

SI7IT AGAINST COL. YILMAB.
On the 27th of May last a judgment was
obtained by Morltz Pam and Leopold Pam, in the
Supreme Court, against Col. Frederick YUmar,
the plaintiffs alleging that Yilmar, as consignee of
two bags of human hair, weighing 333 pounds, had
so neglected his duty to plaintiffs aa to cause them
loss and make hiin liable. An execution on this
judgment was returned unsatisfied, and an execu-
tion was then issued against the I'ersoa of CoL
Vilmar. Yesterday counsel for Yilmar applied In
Supreme Court Chambers, before Jadee Lawrence,
to have tbe latter execution discharged, on tbe
groand that it was procured on allegations which
did not charge fraud, but, at the most, constituted
an ordinary case ot conversion. Judge Liawrence
reserved his decision.

iB that the collision was caused by tbe culpable
negligence of the plaintiff in driving on the tracks
immediately in front of tbe car, disregarding re-
peated waruinKs to leave the tracks, and fiualry,

THUHSDAr, Nov. 23 — P. M.
The danger 'attendant upon selling what
one has not got was once again illustrated on
thfe Stock Exchange to-day, and a goodly num-
ber of speculators on tbe short side of Dela-
ware. Lackawanna aud Western were afforded
ampfe cause to regret not having laid to heart.
the favorite maxim of the venerable Mr.
Daniel -Draw. Certain parties flndini; the
stock mentioned scarce for delivery, promptly
took advaDtaeie of the situation, and marked
the priee up, much to the disgust aud dismay
of the shorts, v^o were forced into covering,
and by their purchasesioarried tho stock to still
higher figures. Thus the naoveaient w^as
entirely suooessflil, but that it was mainly artl-
floial m its character was made apparent later
when the stock left to itself feU away, the de-
cline being assisted by sales ot long stock for
account of holders, who, acting on the principle
•f making hay while the sun shines, gladl •
availed themselves of the high figurea to par»
vrith property, the futnre of whioh, in view, of
the great depression in the ooal trade ia S9 i>n-
certain.
The actual state of affairs in regard to v^e
railroad war remaina aa maoh of a pazaVe to
.Waaipjwfit •I era*. Tha o»lt»i*a, .^jjp^yji.^
many qaartora that aema ,«dM «f eogapromisa':
Will be made, but aa all report* to this effeet
are based on the assumption that the Commo*
dore T^ll yield what he has all alang deola>red
to be tbe vital point at issue, namely,
the mileage question, they must be risceived with
caution. The course of Lake Shore, which waa
by far the most active stock to-day, indicates.
pretty clearly that aome of the heavier opera-
tors either do not believe that the railroad war
will be settled, or else think that in the i^res&nt
stagnant state of bosinasa, and with the large
falling off in the passenger traffic fellowiiie the
close of the Centennial, any marked improve-
ment in the flnanoidl condition of the railroada
IS not to be expected.
The entire business for the day footed up
146,735 shares, of whioh ^,330 wer« in Lake
Shore, 33,075 in Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western, and 14,750 in Michigan Centra. Lake

Central ranged between 102^ and 103. Rock
Island was comparatively firm, the action of

fluence on the stock. Illinois Central was
strong, and advanced from 71 to 74. Among
the coal shares, Delaware, Laokawana, and
Western rose from 68% to 71^, reacted to
69%, and closed at 70. Delaware and Hudson
rose to 70%, fell off to 69%, advanced to 71, and
closed at 68^ bid and 69^ asked. New -Jersey
Central |(^vanced frbm 33 to 34^, reacting at
tiie close to 34V6. Morris and Essex advanced
to 91, bid at the close. The remainder - of the
list presented no feature worthy «f comment

and the rates for call loans declined from 4
to 2 ^ cent, closing at 2^ ^ cent Th^w is
no change in discounts, aiid the market con-
tinues quiet on the basis of 4®6 ^ cent., for

ceived at WashinErton for redemption to-day,

quoted at 10460 The specie in the Bank of
France increased 5,810,000 francs during tho
past week. At Frankfort, United States new

The sterling exchange market was weak, and

reduced to $4 i)2 for 60 days, and to |4 84 for
demand drafts, with actual busineae at $4 81%

kannBcript&
Warned by the blander made in Sooth
Carolina, Crov. Steabns and his counsel ab-
Bolately refoae to recognize the jurisdiction
of tiiB State Court over the Executive of
Florida. Grov. Stbarns has distinctly de-
clared that he has never intimated
his intention of canvassing the vote
tat Presidential Electors, and that he
liad not even decided whether the law em-
powers him to do so. Yet the Democratic
counsel proceeded to argna upon a state of
iaets which do«s not exist, and to ask that
the Giovemor be enjoined against perform-
\ug an act which is not even contemplated.
Cten. Baklow, who is the very efficient conn-
■el of Grov. Steabns, very properly warned
the conrt of the danger of comply-
ing with BO preposterous a demand,
as wen as of the certainty that each an in-
jonction could not be enforced^ were the
Governor determined to disregard it. If
the Florida Democrats are obeying, in their
present action, suggestions iirom the North,
they wiU before long probably wish, like
their brethren in South Carolina, that they
had followed their own judgment, and al-
lowed Mr. Tilden's vote to take care of
Uself.
The fact that in several places in Ken-
tucky no I^^sidential Electors were voted
for at all, the choice of the voters being
8imply annoanced as for Hayes or for Til-
den, famishes another Ulustration of tne
looseness of our existing methods of record-
ing the popular will in matters which con-
cern the very existence of the nation. The
OTuission from the Bepublican ballots
in some of the Louisiana parishes
of the names of two or three
Presidential Electors is regularity itself
compared with the conduct of the voting in
Covington and other places in Kentucky.
Of course, the obviously fair procedure in
all such cases is to give effect to the plain
intention of the voters, irrespective of the
imperfection of the machinery provided for
teeording that intention.
Statesville, N. C. must be a nice place for
people of independent political views. The
citizens of tiiat enlightened fcurgh adver-
tise in the Charlotte Oiaerver for " a Demo-
cratic barber." They say tb.at the town has
supported three — all Black Republicans, we
may presume. How many of these survive
the recent canvass is no'c known, but the
fJserfer editorially declares that "States
ville wants a good b irber who votes the
Democratic ticket." Statesvillains will not
submit th$iBhighIy-co nnected Normau;chin8
to the razor of a mere Eepubli-
can. The newspaper that approvingly
calls attention to th<s novel species of desti-
tution in StatesviUo bears for its motto the

Martix and CDonohue afford a much-
needed proof that all interest in the
good government of New-York has not quite
died out among its best citizens.
Another equally gratifying proof of the
same fact is afforded in the petition of New-
York bankers and merobanta, asking the
Mayor to renominate Controller Grben,
The financial weight and authority of these
names will be apparent to every one, and
•will certainly not be overlooked by Mayor
WlCipAM. That official failed to gratify
the wishes of John Kelly's "personal andpo-
liticalfeends," and the confident promises of
his newspaper, in refraining from sending
in the name of the Tammany "Boss" to the
Aldermen yesterday. For the sake of the
Mayor's good name and of the interests ot
the City, we trust that the disappointment
of the political bummers on this score
will be permanent. The property, the
intelligence, and the respectability of
this City are " by a large majority " in favor
of the reappointment of the Controller,
though it would be perhaps too sanguine to
expect that their wishes should be complied
with. We have a right to expect, however,
that the Bepublican Aldermen should reso-
lutely abstain from lending their aid to the
confirmation of any Controller nominated in
the interest of Tammany Hall.
We are surprised to find that the Sun no
longer claims to be good Democratic au-
thority. On Nov. 13 it published an elabor-
ate table ot the county majorities, "mostly
official," in Louisiana. That table purport-
ed to give " a liberal estimate of the ma-
jorities in Eepublican counties, they being
in excess of the vote as declared by the Re-
turning Board." We did not profess to un-
derstand the phrase last quoted, but we did
accept the Sun's table as authoritative
on the subject of Democratic claims.
TUl the Sitn puts forth another,
we must still decline to entertain
the possibility that anything newer
and more accurate has been published some-
where else. The World may be all very
well as a magazine of artistic cookery and
obscene literature, and when we want full
details of the rebellion in Timbuctoo, or of
the armed oocupation of Washington, we
shaU ttim to the marvelohsly-construct^d
columns of the Herald. But we do hope
that the Sun wiU leave us some solid Demo-
cratic ground in its "mostly- official" and
entirely liberal tables of election returns.
Of course, in its next table, it will take
care to reduce Tildkn's majority of 7,773
by 666, plus another tnfiing error in La-
fourche Parish of 231, making iu all 897
votes on the wrong side.
The issue of the charges preferred yester-

THE IMBROGLIO IN SOUTH CARO-
LINA.
The complicated quarrel in South Caro-
lina derives whatever danger it possesses
firom the partisan coloring which hides or
distorts its essential features. The merits
of the questions in dispute will be ignored
by those who pretend to be indignant at
what they describe as a disregard of law-
ful authority, and popular passion wiU be
invoked to condemn the only feasible
method of frustrating a shameless conspir-
acy. Fortunately, the facts which must
form the foundation of a sound judgment
be in small compass.
One pretense which meets us at the outset
is too flimsy to mislead aaiy intelligent ob-
server. We refer to the new-born profession
of respect for the Supreme Court of the
State which is at this moment a character-
istic of the South Carolina Democracy. Mr.
Wade Hampton's appeal to the people is
almost sublime in its impudence ; but it has
its counterpart in the alliance suddenly ef-
fected between the leading members of his
party and the court which has prostituted
its powers for the furtherance of that party's
objects. Mr. Hampton has been a prime
actor in a canvass remarkable only for the
audacity with which the most infamous
tactics were pursued. Eyery form of State
authority was defied. A system of ter-
rorism was organized which has rarely
been paralleled under civilized govern-
ment. Cruelty and murder were common
occurrences. Proscription was carried into
every walk of life. Organized ruffianism
rode rough-shod over the State, menacing
its Bepublican voters, and pri^ucing a
condition of things but one degree removed
from anarchy. Of this whole system Wade
Hampton was the guiding spirit. Among
his lieutenants were notorious murderers.
It was not until Federal troops were sent
into the State that their tactics underwent
any change. They submitted to Federal
force sullenly and with loud denunciations
of its alleged unconstitutionality. In the
interim, bargains h&d been struck between
the Democratic managers and Judges who
owed their positions to Bepublican votes,
but who were incensed against Gov. Cham-
berlain because of hia work as a reformer.
Two of the Judges of the Supreme Court
stand in this category. The son of one of
them the Governor had refused to commis-
sion on the ground of his disreputable char-
acter ; and the father, with an associate, hap-
pens to control the Supreme Court. There
is hardly a Democratic lawyer in the State
who, prior to the present quarrel, has not
again and again assailed this couit as un-
worthy of respect, and its Chief Justice as
corrupt and unprincipled. The vicissitudes
of politics brought Wade Hampton and
his supporters into fellowship with
Moses and one of his associate
Judges, and the latter are now acting, not as
decorous administrators of justice, but as
men who disgrace the Bench aul make mer-
chandise of law in the interests of the Dem-
ocratic Party. And the party, having thus
got possession of the Bench, by means the
most disgraceful and tor purposes the most
foul, now parades itself as the ally and up-
holder of law. At the same time it assails
the Boai'd of Cauvassei's, whose legal exis-
tence was as well assured as that of the Su-
preme Court, and whose jurisdiction is as
independent of Moses's mandates as that of
the State Legislature.
The State Constitution provides for the
organization of the board, which legisla-
tion has invested with judicial powers. Ex-
cepting only the vote for Governor and Lieu-
tenant Governor, its authority over the re-
turns is complete. At the beginning of its
duties, it allovyod itself to be badgered *by
Democratic lawyers, and to be led
pleadings befiire the court. This is really
the grave mistake in its proceedings. It
should have made the count and gone on
^ with, the aorutioy accordinit to its beat
judgment} certifyingthe results, and leaving
the lawyers to fight after its work was
finished. The court ordered a gro,a8 count
to be made, and the board complied, the
returns showitfg on their face a majority
for the Bepublican Elector8,»with a slender
majority for the Democrats on the State
ticket, including the votes' of two counties
in which Democratic frai^ds and violence
were matters of notoriety. Application
was then made to the court for two writs
of mandamus — one directing the board to
certify the election of the ^tembers of the
State Legislature according to the face of
the returns ; the other ordering the board
to open the returns as regards the Pres-
dential Electors, with a view to their
manipulation by the Democratic mana-
gers. Both proposals were clearly infrac-
tions of the proper authority of the board,
while the grounds on which they rested
were as obviously antagonistic. If any
scrutiny were to be instituted it should be
thorough. But whether there should be
any or none the board alone could lawfully
decid^. The court has no more right to say
how the board shall discharge its duties
than to prescribe the laws which the State
Legislature shall enact. Two of the three
Judges, however, obeyed Democratic orders,
and granted the first oi the two manda-
muses sought, delaying a decision in regard
to the latter until the reassembling of the
court to-day.
In the meantime the board was not idle.
It was face to face with an unscrupulous
court, which, for partisan purposes, was in-
tent upon usurping the functions belonging
to the board, and reducing the members to
the position of clerks to do the bidding of
Judge Moses and his Democratic friends.
In these circumstahces, what was the duty
of the board t Had it awaited patiently
the orders of the court, and obeyed them
implicitly, it would have surren-
dered the trust confided to it
and betrayed the public interests
it was bound to . protect. It
could certify only returns approved by the
judgment of its members, and was, there-
fore, bound in no respect to submit to the
dictation of Judges who had become the
mere tools of Wade' Hampton's lawyers.
The board did what it ought to have done
in the hrst instance : it proceeded with the
count; it cast out the votes of the two
counties in which intimidation and frauds
admitted of no dispute ; it certified to the
election of the Bepublican Electors, of the
Congressmen — three Bepublican and two
Democratic — of the members of the
State Legislature ; and then, having
finished its work, it adjourned sine die. All
th& was done while the lawyers were
wrangling, and before the issue of the first
of the orders applied for, and when the
court meets to-day it will find the game it
coBsented to play bloftked. There will be
much more wrangling, of course. But the
tact remains that the only body competent
under the law to issue certificates of elec-
°tionhas got through its task and has itself
ceased to exist.
The affair is one that cannot be contem-
plated with satisfaction. It will lead to
fierce and protracted strife in the State, and
•will almost certainly involve the inter-
ference of the Federal Government in one
form or another. So far as the merits of
the case are concerned, they seem to be al-
together on the side of the board ; and if
any further attempt* is made to overthrow
its work, by Judicial usurpation or other-
wise, it will become the duty of the Presi-
dent to afford the State Government what-
ever aid is required for the maintenance of
local authority. Something more than the
sanction of Judge Moses is required to ren-
der Wade Hampton supreme in the State.
have every word spoken in those meetings
taken down bf short-hand reporters. ^ Its
rules for treating the contests over which
it is given jurisdiction are fair and carefully
framed to give each contestant his full rights.
What anj^ contestant wishes to ask of a wit-
ness must be written do'wn and given to his
rival at least twenty-four hours before the
witness is called, in order that the latter
may be cross-questioned. These, and other
like rules, show a purpose on the part ot the
board to deal justly. If its members were
not meaning to do so, they would not place
so many safieguards about their action as
they have done.
But we may as well say, once for all, that
a great deal of what the Democrats are
alleging about the character of the board
is wholly untrue. Som^ of them, we see,
have been rash enough to call it a " carpet-
baggers' " board, as if men bom in one part
of our common country could hot, in" any
case, do their duty in another part. This
is a mean insult to thousands of up-
right Northerm men who have settled in
the South to make it their home, and
to do for it what men like them have done
for the North. But it happens that what-
ever the members of the board may be, they
are not " carpet-baggers." Mr. Frye, of
Maine, who was one of the committee of
which Mr. Whbkler and Mr. Hoar were
the other Jlepublican members, in a letter
which we publish this morning, says that all
the members of the board are men
of property in Louisiana, the two
white men ' being Southerners, and the
others, being colored, are nndoubted
ly Southerners also, though of a class which
the Democrats always leave out when they
speak of " the people." Mr. Frye also says
of the Chairman of the board that he is a
" thoroughly honest man," and, what is of
quite as much moment just now, he adds,
" I know he cannot be tempted by Demo-
cratic promises, or driven by their threats."
But, even if the members of the board
meant to do ■wrong, we have seen that they
cannot without its being straightway l^nown
to their, most watchful foes. We beg cur
readers to look, for a moment, at what we
should be driven to talfe as the vote of
Louisiana, if we refused to accept the
decision of tKe board. Nothing more
or less than the estimates of a partisan
committee, already shown in many respects
to be false, unexamined, and unrevised,
and verified only by the certificate
of, perhaps, one McEnery, who at one time
pretended to be Governor of Louisiana, but
whom his own party a year ago owned to
be politically dead. Whatever flaws there
may be in the past of the Betorning Board,
they are as dust in the balance weighed
against the utter want of all likeness to
authority in McEnery. Whatever room
there may be for objection to the course of
the Betuming Board in some details, they
are not worth naming by side of such
an unmeasured and violent usurpation as
a certificate by McEnery would be.
Yet Mr. Potter, a gentleman who is very
proud of his nice knowledge of constitu-
tional law and his fine scruples as to the
bounds of official power, gravely suggests
that the man he impudently calls " Gov-
ernor" McEnery may give a certificate to
a set of Democratic Electors ; that
this certificate, if sent to the House,
can be made the ground for that
body's refusal to acknowledge a lawful
president; and that so the Democratic
scheme can be carried through. If Mr.
,Potter can get this way of looking at the
rights of States and the duty of Congress
once fairly adop^d in American politics, he
will prove himself, in the language of
BUKKE, ah "able architect of ruin." He
will have made every Presidential election
the sure occasion of civil war.
THE LOUISIANA BETUENING BOARD.
The completion of its work by the Board
of Canvassers of South Carolina, and the
growing certainty that the vote of Florida is
clearly for Mr. Hayes, makes the interest in
the Eeturning Board of Louisiana greater
than ever. The Democrats have spared no
pains to bring this body into odium, and we
are bound to say that some things
which it has done in the past, as
well as some which it is now doing, do not
meet our idea of what a body of this kind
ought to do. We quite agree with the re-
port.made by Mr. "Wheeler, Mr. Hoar, and
Mr. Frye that in at least one important
point the board, in its action of 1874, passed
beyond what the law said it might and
should do. We should be glad now if the
board had, before taking up its work, seen the
vacancy in its numbers filled by any reput-
able Democrat whom the Democratic Com-
mittee chose to name. We ahouldjbe glad,
too, if all its proceedings had been open to
the press, to be fully reported by Eapubli-
can and Democratic papers of New-Orleans,
and, as far as they chose, by the papers of
the other States.
But we are not ready, because of these
errors or faults in the board, to say that
its return of the Electoral vote should not
be taken as the just and true return. So
far from this are we, that we think that the
board is sure to make a fair return ;
that the will of the voters will
be as fully and fairly given in
that return as the laws of Louisiana
will let it be, and that whatever wrong
there may be springing from the act of the
board will grow from the fact that it can-
not make up for the great robbery of votes
brought about by the " White Man's
Party." The board cannot change
the votes which colored Republicans
were forced to cast for Demoeratic candi-
dates. It cannot give votes to the colored
Eepublicans who were forced or frightened
to stay away from the polls. It cannot now
redress that change in the political rela-
tions of Louisiana which flows from six
years of almost unbroken cruelty, violence,
and lawlessness on the part of the " White
Man's Party " and the terror and helpless-
ness of the blacks. In these things, if in
any, the Returniug Board of Louisiana will
fail.
Any fair man who will look at the acts
ot the board, as they have been given in
the press of both parties, must see that it
has put about itself so many safeguards, so
many barriers to wrong on its own part,
that if we could not trust its members, we
must still take what it does as right. It has
admitted five men of standing and of skill
into 1 "^n politics from cacu party io Tratch
it work. It has given these men the right
i^ se^ and hoar everything that goes on in
t-V^ board, both in open and in close meet-
iuicu, 4uid it has also ziveu them a chance to

TWO PRESIDENTS.
Our people have become so accustomed to
read of fresh revolutions in Mexico that
they regard each new crisis with a decreas-
ing interest. The present complications,
however, are peculiar. They arose from an
alleged informality in the election for Presi-
dent, and they have resulted in an attempt
to establish two Presidents. Lerdo is in
possession ; he claims to have been regular-
ly ele(rf;ed. Iglesias has established him-
self at Leon, in the State of Guanajuato,
as Provisional President, which office he
claims to hold by right of succession.
The election for President in Mexico was
held last Summer, and the Congress, which
combines the functions ot an Electoral Col-
lege with those of a legislative body, was
overwhelmingly for Lerdo. When the
Congress met in October, that body pro-
ceeded to register the popular will, and
elected Lerdo by a vote of 131 to 45. The
two great parties in Mexico are the Liberals
and the Conservative, .the latter being
distinctively a clerical or reactionary
organization. Lekdo was the candi-
date of the Liberals in 1872, and
was then elected. His re-election is another
triumph for the friends of peace, order,
progress, and liberalism. In 1871 there
were three candidates, Juarez, Lerdo,
and Diaz, the last being the representative
of the reactionists. Juarez was success-
ful ; the Lerdists accepted the decision of
Congress, (as an Electoral College,) but the
friends of Diaz, with that insolence and
lawlessness which have always character-
ized them, revolted. They have been in a
chronic state of discontent ever since, and
Diaz still pretends to have been fairly
elected, and maintains a movable seat of
government in the North. By the death of
Juarez a vacancy was made in the Presi-
dency, and LioRDO was chosen. His term
of office expires on the first day of Decem-
ber, 1876.
Iglesias was President of the Supreme
Court of Justice, aod, by virtue of that
office, is the Vice President of the Republic.
In case of a failure to elect a President, or
of a vacancy in the Presidential office being
created by death, resignation, or disability,
the President of the ^upreme Court becomes
Provisional President until a new election
can be held. When the Congress had chosen
Lerdo, last October, Igle?ia8 protested to
the court of which he is President, averring
that the election was irregular and void.
This was done in the interests
of the reactionary, or "Oouserva-
tive '' Party, of which Iglesias
i$ a promiuent member. It was, of course,
designed to secure for himself the Presiden-
tial office. His proposition was voted
down, only two of the nine Judges voting
with him. After this defeat he obtained a
month'^ leave of absence, and was sup*
posed to be silenced. He now declares the
Presidential office vacant, assumes to act as
Provisional President, and with his two
friendly Judges of the Supreme Court, has
set up a Cabinet and other machinery at
Leon. Diaz was reported to have been in
sympathy with Iglesias, although Diaz, in
denying the legal rights of President Lerdo,
has heretofore been obliged also to refuse to
acknowledge the authority of the Supreme
Court. Iglesias was chosen^ to his office
under the same law by which Lerdo was
elected.
In Mexico mere assertion usually takes
the place of fact. Diaz asserted that he
had received the popular vote of the peo-
ple, and he demanded that the Congress
should declare him elected. If he is now
willinif, as he probably is, to defer his
claims to Iglesias, it is only because he
knows that the latter is just as violent
a reactionist as he is himself. Both
these pretenders agree in a policy
which would be oppressive to the people
and fatal to all political progress. Lerdo
represents the law-abiding, peaceful, and
liberal elements of the Bepublic. Iglesias
represents all that is repressive and retro-
gressive. As a significant fact, it is men-
tioned that his supporters at once attacked
the American missionaries, with the cry of
" Death to Protestants!" Of course, such
a violent and arrogant party as that which
now has Iglesias at its head, does not
trouble itself with constitutional provisions
which happen to count against them. They
pretend that Lerdo is not constitutionally
elected, and that Iglesias is, theretore, con-
stitutionally Provisional President. The
fact that LKRDO'sfirst term of office has not
yet expired, and that a failure to elect his
successor would not create a vacancy in
the Presidency until December, has wholly
escaped the attention of this strict con-
structionist. They have taken time by
the forelock, and have pronounced for I(JLE-
sias in advance of the expiration of the
constitutional term of office.
It is a discouraging state of things for
Mexico. The country has just begun to re-
cover from the effects of a long and exhaust-
ing civil war. Business is again disturbed,
and tl e capital which was seeking invest-
ment in the Republic wiU be, temporarily
at least, frightened away. The ambi-
tion and intrigue of one man, and the
insolent pretensions of a reactionary party,
have precipitated one of these revolutions
now SO unhappily common in our sister
Republic. The main body of the people do
not usually sympathize with these violent
proceedings. They have gradually been
brought to look upon them as the squabbles -
of rival chieftains, neither of whom have
any special claim to power, except what
they carry in the clans which accompany
them. Forms of law have no longer any
significance, and these are lightly set
aside whenever an ambitious politician con-
trives to seize upon a quibble which gives
him the slightest pretext for revolt ; or a
military adv-enturer boldly ^proclaims his
intention to rescue the people from what he
calls " oppression." The Liberals have cer-
tainly shown great moderation, and they
have uniformly acquiesced in the result of
popular elections. The reactionists have
always been insolent, aggressive, and noisy.
They have never stuck at any measure
which might secure power for their party,
and the ridiculous pretensions of Iglesias,
unconstitutional and revolutionary as they
are, fairly illustrate the temper of his
party. While professing to regard the pop-
ular will and conform to the letter of the
fundamental law, they violently invade
both law and common justice. It is not
certain how long this revolution wiil
last. Unfortunately, the Mexicans are so
familiar with revolutions that they sub-
mit with the stolidity of despair to the
ruin and disorder of each new fight for the
Presidency.
TO HOWL OR NOT TO HOWL.
On Wednesday the New-Eagland coUegas
to the number of three met and organized
a New-England Rowing Association. Dart-
mouth, Brown, and Trinity wore the col-
leges which accomplished this feat, and they
expect to have a nice little regatta at New-
London next Summer, where neither Cor-
nell nor Columbia can perpetrate the revolt-
ingcrimeof beating New-England oarsmen.
This action is the final death-blow to the
old College Rowing Association, and hence-
forth no undergraduates will row at Sara-
toga, except those belonging to New- York
and New- Jersey colleges.
The first blow at the Saratoga regatta
was tae withdrawal ot Yale. It is undoubt-
edly an error to suppose that Yale refused
to row at Saratoga because of the repulsive
habit of winning which Cornell and Colum-
bia had acquired. The fact that last year
Cooke had a crew which could have com-
manded victory on Saratoga Lake as cer-
tainly as it did at Springfield ought to be
sufi^oieut evidence that it was not any fear
as to the probable result which dictated
Yale's withdrawal. Yale and Harvard had
rowed against each other for years before
the. Rowing Association was formed, and
they desired to renew their old contests on
the old terms. This was one reason why
Yale, and subsequently Harvard, left the
association. There was, however, another
reason which may have influenced those
coUegesto some extent, and which naturally
led to the withdrawal of the other New-
England colleges, and to the momentous
and imposing action of Dartmouth, Brown,
and Trinity. *
The chief atfractiou of a regatta to the
New-England undergraduate mind is the
opportunity which it affords, or ought to
afford, of enabling the enthusiastic student
to foUow the oarsmon by running along the
shore, to wave greenbacks in the air, to
challenge bets, and to howl with the utmost
vigor of the human lungs. This was why
the New-England colleges fought against
rowing on Saratoga Lake, and insisted
upon the selection of the Springfield
or New-London course. At Saratoga
the undergraduate had to view the
regatta froin the top of a hill, whore
howling was a hollow mockery. No man
ean sit on a bench at a '' grand stand," in
the presence of ladies, and howl with any
real comfort, especially when the particular
boat on whoso behalf he desires to howl
is a nearly undistinguishable dot on the
surface of a lake. As tlio conditions
of the Saratoga regatta cast a gloom
over the ablest howlers, so also the
same conditions rendered the waving of
fixeenbaoka. with a view to onen-air bottinff.
a spiritless performance. Indeed, so great
was the care exercised by the Saratoga
managers to render tile regatta a chaste and
delicate spectacle, that betting nroa felt as
thougH the offer of a wager on any boat was
the next thing to disorderly conduct in
church. Moreover, the depressing influence
of Mr. Mokbissey's "club-honae" was bit-
terly bewailed by the New-England men.
It was seen to be inevitable Chat persons
desiring to bet on the regatta would quietly
go and buy Mr. Morrissby's pools, instead
of betting in public, in a really earnest
and picturesque way. It will be remem-
bered that Aniherst College refused to row
at Saratoga in 1874 expressly because of
the demoralizing influence of Morrissey's
pools, which, in the opinion of t^e most
thoughtful of the Amherst students, were
subversive of all public betting and di-
rectly hostile to the best interests! of pub-
lic howling. Such were the real New-Eng-
land objections to the Saratoga course, and,
as the College Rowing Association insisted
upon the selecUon of that course, the New-
England Colleges have finally withdrawn
from it, and have resolved to royy where
they can howl and bet to their hearts' con-
tent.
Whether Brown and Dartmouth and Trin-
ity •will be joined by thb rest of the New-
England colleges — ^for there are one or two
others — remains to be seen. Yale and Har-
vard decline to have anything to do with
them, and Amherst, Bowdoin, Wesleyan,
Williams, and the Amherst "Aggies" have
not yet decided whether to howl at New-
London or to abandon that branch ot study.
The truth is that there is no real demand
for the new association. Yale and Harvard
wiU row at Springfield next Summer, and
there is nothing to prevent the other col-
leges from attending the regatta and giving
their whole minds to public howling. The
banks of the Connecticut wiU be all before
them where to howl, and after the race is
over they can go and howl in the streets and
hotels of Springfield, as was their custom
in days gone by. It is odd that Dartmouth
and Browa and Trinity do not '' perceive
that m order to howl and bet it is not essen-
tial that they themselves should row. Some
of the best howling that New-England stu-
dents have ever achieved was done in the
days when Yale and- Harvard were the only
rowing colleges, and when Lake Quinsiga-
mond and the town of Worcester were the
happy howling grounds. Let Yale and
Harvard furnish the oarsmen, and lef the
•ther colleges swell the chorus of howls.
Thus all parties will be satisfied, and the
true object of a New-England Eomng Asso-
ciation will be achieved.
Such will probably be the final result of
the dissolution of the old Rowing Associar
tion. Cornell and Columbia and Princeton
will probably continue to row at Saratoga
after the quiet and orderly fashion which
18 so disgusting to the New-England under-
graduate, while Yale and Harvard will row
at Sprin^eld, and furnish the lovers of
public howling with an ample opiMjrtunity
to practice their art. Whether the Spri ng-
field people will like this prospect is not so
certain. They remember what a pande-
monium the students made in their usually
quiet city, in the days before the Saratoga
Regatta, and they may shudder at the
thought of its rmie'wal. It is very clear,
however, that the New-Eagland under-
graduate is determined to have an annual
rowing match, where he can howl to his
heart's content. This is unquestionably
the reason why he has shaken off the dust
of Saratoga from his feet, and those who
profess to ignore this reason, and to believe
that the New-England colleges — with the
exception of Yale and Harvard — abandoned
Saratoga because of the oppressive presence
of Cornell and Columbia, accept, it is true,
the only alternative, but, in so doing, are
guilty of injustice to the earnest lovers of
the manly sport of howling.

r« the Editor of the New- York Timu :
To say that a reign of terror exists in Escam-
bia Coauty ia simaly asserting tbe naked truth.
The officers of tbe law are closely allied with tbe
desperate and lawless, and those who are disposed
to be law abiding are at the mercy of midniijht as-
easalDs. As a plain statement of facts may serve
tbe cause of truth better than a general assertion
that lawlessness prevails, or that fraud and intlmi-
da:ion are stalking throughout this coant?, I will
present one or tWD cases before your readers in
tbcir proper light, and ask them In all serioasne^s it
such tbines should be tolerated in a C iristian land.
With this preface I will say that on the nieht ot
S.^turday, ths 41,h inst,, about 9 o'clock A. M.,
McMillan, Judge of Probate, and ex-offloio County
Judge of this count", H. P. Smirb, Beeistrar of the
cuunty, and Neil Mo^illan, a brother »f the Judze
and a very desiperate man, appeared on the pabllo
streets oTPnllard drtink, with pistol and shot-gun,
and made uieht hideous wita theic terrl'ule threats
and profanity. Citizens were murderoasly assailed
by ttiem, and those not in direct svmuathy with
the " p.)wer8 that be," were told by the. Judge that
they would have to leave the county, and he would
see to it that they left. Stores had to
bo closed to avoid these miaoreants, and
citizens soueht safety behind locted doors, and
with cimmfd liehts. It miy be asked : Where was
the Sheriff! To such I answer, that the Sheriff is
the father of the Judeo, .and about the same sort of
an ofiScer. It is ssil the bloody sinrt ar^^ient is
idle and amounts to nothing, as it is gotten up for
partiian parposes, yet were the whole truth known,
all the Btatemencs made under its tblUs would
scarcely make known the outrages perpetrated in
this county aloue since the surrender of the Con-
federate Armies. Wliat can people do, or whom
can they look to for protection when the very offi-
cers of the law are their assailants and would-be
murderers, and with the Jcuowledge that should
any one dare protest ae.tinst the rule of these
kniehts of the derringer assassiaatinD would more
than probably follow } I speak the j8ent;ment of
thousands now at tbemercy of those cut-throats and
tyrants, when I say the Government has utterly
failed to protect Its loyal and poaoo-loviue oilizens.
On tbe 7th iost., election day, this honorable (?)
Judge made it convenient to be uear tho Ile;;ister,
H. P. Smith, and when Republicaas would register
this nobis (?) Judge would remark, " Tou can vote,
but look out for the law after yoa do it." Of course
this was quite as effective as were the pistol and
shot-gun they bore on the ni;rht of the 4th ; and the
result proves such to bo the case, as not more than
one-third of the Republican vote at this precinct
was cast. At Caaoe Station, in this county, the
challengers appointed by Sheriff McMillan, the
father of the. County Judge, met Repab-
licans at the polls and distinctly Informed
tbem that Hayea and Wheeler tickets
could not be jssast at that pracinet. To

drels is, and bow completely tbey have succeeded in

In an editorial ot Nov. 20, on the Ui^te ea

people desire to edncatetbeir daocbtera "fortlM

mptber lately that it is beeomiag tireaome. aal
merely ta toooh upon thia aabjeet, one might cei^
mark that there are more women in Amarica than
there are men, and that they cannot slibewivaa
and mothers, unless aome of them loin tbe
Mormons, and certainly all "ooltiTBtfd peo-
ple" would objeat to their daagbtera doloc
that. As for women being eddaated -*for
the lif i of aooiety," fashionable French boarding
schools do that to perfdction, and every aeaaibla
per.Mn knows that the education of a fMhionabla
school amonnta to nothing, and that for faabiaoalila
society, or in fact any aodety. In tha feeneral a«-
ceptation of the term, a very limited amount of adn-
cationis necessary. Society generally means tbe
a tendance at balls, reeepdona, dinnera, aod tba
paying and receiving of riaita. If womes are to ba
educated tot tbeae porpoaes ^ooe, what a moekary
their education will be ! Men of brains and aapartoc
educatiou are net wililcg to endure all the nonaeaaa
and frivolity of fashionable life; in ordinary laagnaf^

If tibe members of the Board of Apportimi<

thousands upon thonaanda of doIlu« bave baea
foolishly squandered there, they might bagin tm

uurae the money wrung from the ^bppreaaed tax-
payers of this much misgoverned City fjr tba mmii^
tenance of the Central Park.
Daring the Summer and Fall of last yaat. tb«)
had holes blasted out la aeveral placea in (baaa
rocks, which thev called pockets, and filled thaaa
up with earth at great expense, for the porposs.
as they said, of planting vinaa and evergreana ,- hot
they have never been planted. They also br(>nght
large atones and earth aod placed diem on the tap
of tbe bluE without any protection, and when tba
Spring came around, tbe Winter rains had waafaeA
about one-half of the earth down between tba rocka
and the park wall, and it ia caiy l*eaJy that they
have got that earth remove*!. They bave also
had a deep trench blasted out of tbe aoUd
rock behind the wall and are now
building a stone and cement drain there, to carry
off any rain-water that may happen to get into it.
Now, the fact is, there is no earthly u»e for «
drain there! What little rain micht fall thara
would bave run off at either end if they had let U
Hlone. It could not jiossiblv have injured the Park
w»U anyhi'w, as its I'oundatiou is sank several feet
below the grade of tha avenue, and built on tha
solid rock. The whole thing is a downiight, sbama-
ful waste of the people's money, aod some one
onght to be held responsible f jr it They wontd
n.it 6pen<i iheir own monev in tbe aame way.
Give an honest, capable man one-half of the amoant
of monev tnac has formerly been spent for tba
maintenance vt the Public Parts, and allow him u»
select his own help, and my word lor u, attto
end of tbe year, the people who don t know, will
wonder wnere the other half had f irmerly gone t<^
and this remark does not apply to the Park* oniy,
but to all the work that is done by the City, by wha}
is called "day's work." It should rather be oaae#

every black and white Republican in every Soath-

the better portion ol the Democraitc Party, (if tben
is any better portion,) do yon honestly believe that
tbe so-called Democratic Party could ever
hope to elect their ticket lb Lauijisna,
Florida, Mississippi, or South Carolina, with a fee*
and fair vote and a fair count ? The Constitution
of the United States and of these States has declared
that we shall vote, and yet at ev.ry general elec-
tion comes a general war, made by the rebels, oi
Democrats, or wi-atever else you choose to call
them, upon tho Republicans, black and white, ol
tb6»e States, for the purpose of compelling them ta
votocontrary to thsircoDviciims of ontv to their
country, to themselves, their wives and ohildran.

they do, what sort of a country have ws, wher*

" JVoa* Ow Own Vomtpondent.
f I>ABis. Friday. Nov. 10, 1876,
The gravity of the incident raised by M.
Du SoxomeTard -was fully appreciated by the
Frenoh Government, and Duo Deoazes insisted
w^ » A* jTnrv^oonuUicn ot the error oom-
iDitied by a high i'renoh functionary, if the
letter was Ititben tie. Hence the note in the
official journal eayinK that explanation had
been demanded of the reputed author of the
letter, which the GoTemment hoped to be
apocryphal. The same day that this appeared
M. , Dm Somxierard received a note from the
office of the Journal Official, informing him
^tiurti be had to deny the authorship of this
letter within twenty four hours, or send m his
leaisfnation. He did deny it, giving his
word that the letter was apocryphal, and
offered to prove by documentary evidence
that he was not the writer of the letter attrib-
uted to him, and published over his signature
by the 2>eutecAe« .2iei*uny, ot Vienna. Moreover,
his friends stated that that journal would state,
in its next number, that the letter was apoc-
ryphal. Instead ot doin$ so, it affirmed tbaf
it had received the letter in good faith from a
person worthy of all confidence. M. Du Som-
zneraid has not yet produced his documentary
evidence to prove a neeatlve, and his friends
eay that we cannot go beyond his fiat denial,
for the word of a galant hommt cannot be
doubted. Very wfeU; let us have things as
they are, if Commissioner General Du Somme-
rard is content to do so, but we may be par-
doned for having a little curiosity about the
rest of his letter— the part which the Figaro
relused to publish for patriotic reasons. In
the concluding paragraph of the letter, signed
'Du 8ommerard," but which the Commissioner
General repudiates, it is said :
** Between the Philadelphia Exposition and
"^ that of Paris in 1878, tbere is but a step.
'Without doubt you have read in the papers
that I was appointed to direct this Exposition,
at least I have reasoa to suppose so, for I re-
ceived a Terr amiable letter from Baron
relating to the matter. Fartbermure, w^ith
my colleague M. Ozeune and the Commission,
I was charged wicti ail the preparatory studies
and reports. But the whole enterprise ap-
peared to me of doubtful suooesa. In my
opinion rt would have involved a trighttul re-
■ponsibiKty. colossal tabors, without the possi-
i l>ility under actual political conditions, of ob*
'tunine the authority and power which I con-
a^der necessary under a government so unsta-
ble as ours, i muse remark also the efforts of
certain persons to make private capital out of
the Expesitiun. and I foresaw all the disagree-
able things that might have' happened if I was
xioc armed with sufficient power. I hoped
Sheifef'ore that sometning would turn up
to enable me to retire, and that
Bomethmg soon came. M. Krautz, Engineer of
tlioads and Bridges, and Bepubbcan Senator,
received an order from the Minister of the In-
terior to direct the construction of the palace
upon the Champs de Mars. As they say. vul-
garly speaking, appetite cornea wita eating, he
soon conceivea the idea of taking the gen-
eral direction of the entire Exposition. His
project was to overawe the imperial Commis-
moil by his title ot Senator of the Kepubiic, and
to exercise unlimited violence in ooutroLling it.
All these household arraozementB were not at
all to my taste, ii'or my part I could not con-
sent to the oppression of a commission, theGen-
^eral Commissioner ot which I had been tor a loiig
^tam«, and I deemed it necessary, therefore, to
Helena itt» independence. 1 could not resign
myself to treason toward it, and to going over
to the enemy. Besides, I saw that the Exposi-
tion was takmg a political character, which did
not please me in the least, and which appeared
to make the success of the enterprise a douot-
fui question. Consequently 1 declared that 1
eould not accept the aecree naming me General
Commissioner; my friend Ozeune followed my
example. My friend Viollet, who had taken
charge of the work upon the Trocadere. imi-
tated me, and so did M. Alphaud, wno was to
trace the gardens and direct vhe hydraulic ar-
rangements.
M. Krantz, I ought to say, came to me to get
xne to withdraw my refusal, and 1 had all ttie
trouble in the world to mamtain it. But 1 did
not allow myself to give way to him, nor to the '
demand oi the Minister, nor to the very kmdJy
words of the MarshaL It was in this way
that M. ELrantz became the absolute master,
and I wish him luck of it. Ho.wever, the Min-
ister has lately been forced by the complaints
of wise and eminent political persons belong-
ing to the Commission, and who approved my
Bondact without reserve, to maintain the Com-
mission, and to augment its number by add-
Ine a few members. But 1 douot very much
whether M, Krantz will convoke us otten lor
tb.e purpose of getting our opinion. I have
Vjld you that before retiring I worked assidu-
^tisly with the commission, in order to prepare
everything for the future Exposition. " Al-
jthou2h you are nojb to have the place, I beg
^ounotto make me responsible for ttie first
things done by M. Krantz, who sgc asit^e our
work, our classification, everything, in a word,
in order to begin over again all the mistakes
of 1867. This IS a gross error, which muse lead
to a comparison between these two Exposif^
Aions, but without giving to tbe latter the ad-
vantage of the experience which we gained at
Vienna, and dicing a period of nine years.
: I Kow, my dear Inend, jou know how 1 came
'%o be once more tree and independent, to my
great delight. I will not say that I shall never
aeam occupy myself with universal exposi-
%u>ns, lor I have still tbe title of General Com-
BBissioner for all, but I am relieved of this
£xpositidh, whicfi would have given me a great
«eal of trouble andr much ennui. All that
would have been without compensation for
me, for, under such circumstances, I receive
no pay, and I do not see what new honors
could have been added to my present constel-
lation. I have told you already that the Baron
has written me a charming letter ; I wrote a
lew lines to thank him, but I count upon yoia
to make known the real motives of my retire-
anent. Du Soiuleba£d.
I Now, all that-is very clear and circumstantial,.
and one is filled with wondtr at the extreme
t oievemess of the forger who could frame a
letter so mueh in accord with the daily talk ol
M. Du Sommerard. He says that he can pro-
duce documentary evidence to prove that he
did not write this letter ; but after the above, in
which he ebowB himaelf less amiable to M.
Krautz than to tis, we can be satisfied with his
denial if the French Government and M.
Krautz are also content.
The French Legislature is once more in good
hrorking order, but though ^ there has been a
great deal of talk and disputing, I do not see
that muclvserious work has been done. A very
important question has just arisen respectinsr
tbe powers of the two houses, and by it we see
the necessity of arranging a number of de-
tails which were not thought of, doubtless,
Vhen the constitutional laws were framed. For
example, there is a question now as to whether
or not the Senate can reverse the financial
TOtes of the lower bouse. It is the rule, under
)a constitutional or parliamentary form of
KOvernment, to give the lower house charge
of the purse-stnngs of the nation and the gen-
eral control of the budget. It makes the an-
nual ' appropriations and controls the na-
tional expenditure. In the law con-
Btitutmg the Senate and regulating the
imblio powers, nothing was specified respect-
. Ing ttie votes of the two bodies in matters of fi-
nanoe,an<l hence a grave question has now arisen.
A Cabinet meeting was held yesterday to de-
cide upon the position of the Government ; but,
roughly, tbe question is this : Has the Senate
authority to reverse the decisions of the Cham-
ber upon measures pertaining to the annual
budget? Most rigid parliamentarians think
thatit baa not; but the anti-Uepublicans con-
test this view, eridently for the purpose of
oppoeitioB. . The Chamber has a strong Eepub-
hoan minority at this time, and hence the Con-
Bervatlves do^ not wait to concede to the Cham-
ber tbe entire control of the Budget. There is
a larger question here than appears at first
«laja««. and although the Conservataves mav.
be acting ttom party motives m the main, it is
possible that they may be right in principle.
The death ot Cardinal Antonelli was not
wholly unexpected hero, for it -of'is known that
he has long been a great sufferer from the
disease which carried off Napoleon III. and a
number of othfer eminent men. On the 4th of
November a friend of mine saw the Cardinal
Minister standing beside the Pope in the Audi-
ence Chamber of the Vatican, and saw that he
was suffering greatly. Yet he went through to
the end, and was then helped out. On the
night of the 5th he received the last sacrament,
for the Pone's own physicians declared that hi s
end had come. Antonelli had recovered so
many times from similar attacks that he could
not well believe the doctors, but when they re-
iterated their assertions with force, he ac-
cepted the decision, made up bis mind to die,
Sethis house in order with great calmness, and
passed away with the fortitude of a great man.
The Papacy will hardly find 'another Antonelli
in these days to take up its defense in the same
way.

Cincinnati, Nov. 23.— The Associated Exec-
utive Committee of Friends on Indian Affairs 'to-
day had their attention directed to matters of the
deepest interest relating to the civilizing, edncatiog.
and Christianizing of the Indians. The reports
from the agents engaged in this work have
broaght the members into close sympathy with their
wards and satisfied them that their labors have not
been thrown away. The work of civilization was

KENTUCKY'S aOOSE-BONE.
OLD PROB'3 MOST-FEARED RIVAL PROMPTLY
HEARD FROM — IT IS REPRESENTED TO
INDICATE VERY COLD WEATHER DURING
THE LAST OF THE COMING JAXUARY —
PROSPECT FOR THK REST OF THE
WINTER.
From the Louisville Commercial, Nov. 19 . ,
Now is tbe time when the weather prophets
come forward with their predictions for the Win-
ter. These prophe8ies,iu8t atpreaent, are as numer-
ous and conflicting as policical dispatches from the
South. All kinds of weather are foretold, and peo-
ple can take their choice; but, betore making a
guess as to what kind of weather is hid away ia
the future, we must first consult our goose bone. Id
carried us over th» bridge of doubt last year, and
pointed out the changes just as they occurred. Of
all the weather progaosticators who entert*d the
field, " The Loni-ivilll© Commercial's guose-bone "
aloae bit tbe ihark, and wuil» lice and other
weather-wise sages lost ground, it made a reputa-
tion and became honored in all 'the land, and its
prophecy for the oomiug Winter will be watched
witu grtat interest.
The goone-bone is more closely watched in Ken-
tucky than in anv other part of the country. It
has Daan handed down aimmg tbe early rrad'ltious
of the S'.ate, and may be called the Kuntuoliy
weather prophet. It is to be found in nearly every
Kentactcv oonntry tiome, and lu many parts of the
State tbe farmers consult it, and pi-epare tor
handling their crops in accordance with its read-
ings, The prophecy of the uoose-ioone does not extend
beyond the year in which the goose was haiched,
and the prediction is lor ihe three Winter months
only. Take the breasi-boue of a last Spring's goose
and divide it into three equal parts, and ttie
different divisions will represent December, Janua-
ry, an 3 February. The breast-bnue <jl a goose is
translucent, and if clear when held up to the light,
the weather will be mild and pleasant; bar, if cov-
ered wuh cloud-lilra blots, it will bo gloomy and
cold, tbe heavier tbe blots, the colder will be
the weather. A study of this year's goose-
bone- indicates that the weather for De-
cember will be cloudy and gloomy, probably
with much rain and snow, not very cold, but,
withal a very disagreeablu mouth. Atiout the last
of December we shall have some cold weather,
wnich will continue to grow colder as January ad-
vances. The month of January will be a cold one
throughout, with some ?ery 'severe weather during
the last part cf the month. On the prophecy of the
goose-bone, it mav be predicted thai about the laei
of Januaiy we will have the coldest weatner expe-
rienced tor a numberof years. Febmarv will be
more pleasant and Soiing-like, betokeniug an early
return of the flowers, During the last of the
monui, however, there will be a fdw cold days, but
no severe weather.
Such is the prophecy of the goose-bone, and as we
have the word of a good oM firmer up in Wooafurd
Cunoty, that it has not failed for flitv years, we
may as well prepare to meet it, and need not be
surpiised if we have good skating on the Ohio
Kiver during the latter part of January.

WASHnfGTON, Nov. 23.— There were a great
many people here to-day who bought the long
advertised Sun and threw it away with some dis-
gust. Their appetites were whetted for a, gennine
sensation, and they got only a stale story abont tbe
Whisky Ring and a defence of Aveiy. The article
is not testlmon.y, but only a narration, containing,
With one exception, no new material of the slight-
est importance. This new allegation is that Avery
received a letter from .Toyoe which contained
the direction : "If you have any doubt of
the propriety of sending this information, see Gen.
Babcock. If he is not in the city, see G." On this
letter it Is represented that the following Indorse-
ment was written: "Joyce and McDonald are re-
liable and trustworthy. Let them have the infor-
mation they want.— IT. S. Grant." Tbe President
had his attention called to this statement, and he
replied that he never wrote any such indorsement
and that it is a forgery. None of the other docu-
ments in the article are new except a letter from
Babcook, dated at Long Branch, July 22, 1875, and
one from Lackey, dated Deo. 3, 1875. Both are to
Avery, and must have been furnished by him.
There are still a few private letters hawked about
that will doubtless find tfaelr way into tbe news-
papers. Those who have seen them do not appear
to be impressed with their great importance.

A COLLEGE 'DISAPPOINTED.
The Syracuse Courier of Tuesday says: " We
areinfoimed that the Syracuse University is not so
lieu within $25,000 as it was supposed ,to be.
Something over a year ago, the University announced
through the caMs press that it had received a dona-
tion of 825,000, and au urgent appeal was made lo
wealthy ciiizens to 'do likewise' and swell the
assets of the Dniversity. The name of the party
who made the donation of 825,000 was not then
given, nor has it ever b.-'en revealed. It turns out,
however, that the donation consisted of 825,000
worth of second mortgage bonds of the Chenango
Viilley Railroad, wortri, as our ciuzens are aware,
absolutely nothing. Some time since the tJ oiversity
was taxeil on the bonds, and a meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Committee was .appointed' to take action
uDon the matter. It was decided by the committee
that, as the bonds were not worth the taxen, thev

GKN. SHEBMAN'S ANNUAL BEPOlRT.
ERBCTIOK OP WEST POINT INTO A DEPART-
MENT— TOTAL STRBKOm OF THE ARMY
— ITS EMPLOYMENT IN THE SOUTH AND
ON* THE FRONTIER — THB INDIAN CAM-
PAIGN.
Wabhingtoh, Nov. 23.— Gen. Sherman, in his
annual report made to tbe Secretary of War, says:
" By the assignment of Major Gen. Scbofleld to the
Supennteodency of the Itlllitary Academy that in-
s*'itution is raised to a command equal to that of a
division, and West Pidnt should rightfully consti-
tute a military department, so that its Superinten-
dent, as the commanding General of a depirtment,
may eicercise all the powers and functions of such
commander—especially to order general oonrts-
martial, to approve oi disapprove of their findings,
and to execute all sentences not specially reserved
by the Articles of War to tbe President and Secre-
tary of War. The Military Academy, in addition
to it* well-established character as a hterary and
scientific school. Should form tbe model tor an
army, and the habits of the youth trained therein
sfaonld be in exact accordance with what experience
has demonstrated to be necessary for the efficient
government of an army in the field." Gen. Sher-
man says the academy, under Gen. Scbofield's ad-
ministration, will take rank {(mong tbe first educa-
tional establishments of the world.
Tbe aggregate force of the Army now consists of
23,331 men, all of whom are as actively employed as
thongn war existed. By the subdivision of terri-
tory, every foot of the country is under the auper-
vision of a general officer, near at hand, with a part
of the Army proportioned to the supposed necessity
to maintain order and peace, whereby the settle-
ment of the country may progress, and the civil offi-
cers be enabled to enforce the laws ot the United
States.
God. Sherman continues : ' I herewith submit
the annual reports of ail the division and depart-
ment commanders as far as received, and to them
refer for the more minute details of events which
have occurred therein during the past year. From
these it will appear that a remarkable state of peace
has been maintaioed among the Indian tribes of the
Pacific States and Territories. At one time the re-
moval of the Cblrichua Indiana in Arizona to a
place selected for them by the Indian Agent on San
Carlos Beaervation threatened serious hostilities,
but by the prompt action cf Gen. Eautz. witb
parts of the Sixth Cavalry and Eighth Infantry, the
removal was efi'ected wiibout serious results.
In the Military Division of the Atlantic there
are no hostile Indians, but tbe troops have been
aotiveiy employed in aiding the United States Mar-
shals in enf jrcing tha Kevenue . laws, and iu pro-
tecting the weak asainst tbe prejudices of the
strong in the frequent cases cf civil - elec-
tions. These duties call tor the highest
qualities of firmness and prudence, and I am
sure the behavior of the troops in every
instance baa commanded the respect of all men.
The care and preserratioi^ of public property and
of the sea-ooast forta is a chiet duty of tbe troops
in this division, but the reports of the Chief of
Engineers and of the Ordnance Bureau will better
describe their actual condition than I am able to do
from any reports that reach me.
The chief military events of the year have trans-
pired in tne Military Division of the Mi.ssouii,
where a state of actual war has existed for many
years and still continues. lam not vat in possession
(if Gen. Sheridan's report, but in anticipation of Us
receipt, will endeavor to give a concise account of
some of the chiet events, as gathered from reports
and letters that were received during their pro-
gress:
In the Department of the Gulf the troops under
Gen. Augur bave been shifted trom place to place in
aid of the civil authorities, under the same state of
facts asis heretofore referred to in the Department of
the South, witb similar results, and have always
used their power with consummate discretion and
good jndgmont.
On the Texas frontier, especially tbe Mexican
border, there has long existed au nDsa.isfactoiy
conuition of affairs. Civil war has existed in the
border Mexican States, and each fAOtion bas aC
times souaht an asylum on this sid-j of the
Rio Grande; but irom Gen. Ord's letters
and leports there seems to be an or-
gauTzed system of robbery by small bauds of
Mexicans ' and Indians, who cross to tbe
Texas side, commie murders, steal horses, cattle,
&o., and escape with their stolen property to the
other side, w^here they are comuaratively safe from
pursuit from our troops, who rarely here of the raid
uniil it IS too late to intercept them. I believe no
one supposes that the authorities of the National
Government of Mexico can be privy to this nefari-
ous business, and it is probably carried on in spite
of the better people od both sides ot tbe border.
There are now in Texas two regiments of cavalry —
the £ighth and Tenth — which will be filled up as
rapialy as possible to the maximum standard, and
also three regiments of infantry— th^ Tenth, Twen-
ty-foutrh, and Twenty-fifth — which are necessarily
very small unaer-tbe existing laws; still I hope,
with increased activity, that these troops will
suffice to protect the border from tbe incursions
which discourage settlement and are otherwise
very Irritating and demoralizing. In the Depart-
meut of Missouri the Indians of New-Mexico have
been remarkably good, and theKtowas, Comancbea,
Cheyennes, and Arapaboes, located on the reserva-
tion at and near Fort Sill, have been exceptionally
quiet this Summer, though requiring for reasouaole
security to tbe Kansas frontior pretty strong gar-
risons at Forts Sill, Elliotv. Dodge, and Supply, and
small garrisons along the Arkansas Biver and the
Kansas Pacific Railroad."
The chief events to which Gen. Sherman refers
are those relating to the war with the Sioux, and
after giving a detailed history concerning the late
expeditions against them, and the death of Gen.
Custer witb his command, &c., Gen. Sherman says:
"Col. Hazen, Sixth Infantry, commanding Fort
Buf.jrd, baa started up the Missouri River for
Fort Peck with four companies of his regiment,
the Sixth Infantry, to bead off Sitting Bull, who is
reported by the surrendered chiefs to nave slipped
out with thirty lodges of his own special failowers
duringtbe retreat down Bad Route Creek, and to
have resumed his course for Fort Peck or the Brit-
ish PossessioDS. Col. Miles reports his purpose to
replenish his supplies, to turn north, and follow
this last desperate band to the death. The Win-
ter is close at hand, and there is great danger from
the weather in that high latitude, but with a rea-
sonable certainty (f finding some food at Fort
Peck and abundance at Fort Buford, or ftis own
cintonment on the Yellowstouf, he will be sure to
fetch up at one or the other, and I
trust, en route, will make an end of Sit-
ting Bull. As belora related, Gen. Crook, after
his long march from the ToUowstone to the
agencies at tbe head of White Earib, in oo-opera-
tion with tbe local garrisons, under Col. Macken-
zie, of the Fourth Cavalry, u8:ii8ted in oisarmitig
and dismounting those Indiana. He then distrib-
uted his woru-our troops to their posts, and ai once
reorganized anew columq at Fort Foterman, with
which he left on the 27th dav of October for another
early Winter campaign against tliat fraction of hos-
tile Sioux tmder Crazy Horse, which was last en-
countered bv him near Slim Butte, north and east
of the Black Hilis, which are now filled with
a considerable population ^ot miners capable
of tbeir own Uefense. I trust m this also
be will be succesfcful. Gen. Sheridan, in his
last dispatch on this subject uses the following lan-
guage, which I heartily indorse : ' It snccessfui,
which I do not doubt, thi, Sioux war and all other
Indian wars in this ceuntry of any magnitude will
be over forever.' Gens. Sheridan, Terry, and Crook
have been so constantly employed that they have
not yat transniitteo their annual reports. These
will ue received and submitted in due season, and
will more fally detail the events which I have at-
tempted ts stetch from their short dispatches
which were transniiotod from aay to day. Tbe com-
plete arrangements madt> for lieuiming in and cap-
turing the remainder of the ho.'itile Sloi-.x during
the Winter must result in comparative or complete
suocews; meantime no change can be attempted
this year at the agencies, but I trust that next year
all of the Sioux Nati.u will be compelled to remove
to the Missouri Kiver, near Fort Randall, where
they can be guarded and led at oue-half of tho pres-
ent cosr, ana where, if there is any chance of civil'z-
ing them, the opponuuity tor so doing will be fir
better than in their present scattered agencies."

MISTOOK HIS REOKONWG.
The Boston Post relates the following : " A
small party of gentlemen were at table recently
with tbe jovial Captain of one of the steamers run-
ning between this port and Liverpool, when the
EngliBbman, alluding to the late civil war in this
country, said he had paid the States a numoer of
visits when it oost him some risk to do so. He ex-
plained by sayiug that ho had been a blockade run-
ner, and he became quite merry while showing how
he bad dodged the Federal cruisers off Wilmington,
N. Cand flipped io and out, to and irom that har-
bor, five limes during the closing months of the
war. While on his a^xth trip he was chased ashore,
his vessel ruined, and he escaped to terra firms by
tbe ail of a ladder over his. steamer's bow. ' Oh, it
was fun !' exclaimed tbe Captain; 'sometimes they
plunked it mto me pretty hot. but tbev never did
me any hurt in that way. Three lows of cotton bales
make a pretty sate armor, von know.' He then men-
tioned incidentally that a certain sentinel cutter
used to cause him the most trouble, and that he
finally determined to run her down to prevent a
warning signal to the blockading fleet. 'It was a
bloody darknight' continued the Captain, 'and I
was siippiug out close m shore, when that cut-
ter Showed herself in front of me.' After a pause
he added, ' Well, we went right over her; she
didn't signal anybody that night.' 'Was your
steamer tha Kate, Captain }' askei a very quiet-
kCDtieman at tue foot ot the table. ' Yes,' was the
somewhat surprised reply. ' Well. I was in com-
mand ot that cutter, and yon didn't run me down
quite so much as yon think you did.' A laugh at
the Captain's expense fallowed this, and it was
renewea as the Quiet man continued. 'And I was
on the gunboat that chased you ashore. Tbe Kate
wasn't hurt much, either, for we got her ofl^ and
she is now somewhere about New- York.' No one
was more amused a: the turn things bad taken than
the Captain himself^ and a pnilosophical remark
some one made about what the whirligig of |lme
may bring about was lost in the general merri-
ment."
A NEW " PETER IHE HERMIT."
The London Po«( pnnta the f jllowing story' in a
leading article. If true, (and it is told with much
particularity), it is not only very curious but very
important:
"A new ' Peterthe Hermit.' bas appeared, it Is an-
nounced, in Russia and is employed under the high-
estauspicesis inflimiog the populaoe to the requisite
pitch of fury which the Russian Government may
care to cultivate io support of the official policy in
the Eastern question. Hd is the ex-Captain of
Guards, Alexander Prohostchikofl; one of tho
Wealthiest luhabitants of Moscow, who, from long
acting on the Sclavic Committee, has come to con-
ceive, or to pretend, that he bas received a special
mission from heaven to rouse tbe iiassiitn peo-
ple for a ciuiiado against the Turks, deciariug that
he has been inspired by tbe Holv Spirit to lead Rus-
sia to tbe redemptioD of the Sclavs. He came
before the people of Moscow and preached
tha holy war. From Moscow he went in
company with excited multitudes to neigh-
boring towns; and everywhere was hailed as a
heaven-sent prophet. 'The Governors and officials
wero conspicuous in their attentions to tbe
new saint. When the enthusiasm kad been nurssd
to a snfflcient pitch to allow of a further develop-
went, tbe prophet departed in state for Livadla to
announce the will of tbe Most High to the Czar of
all tha Rnssiaa and Vicegerent of God upon earth.
The gravest statesmen conducted the presentation
with the mos: admirable composure. Prince Gort-
schakoff appeared as devout a oelieyer as the hum-
blest Moujik. The Ctax gave the fanatic or impos-
tor a lengthened interview, ahd ever since the
prophet declares that he is authorized to announce
that the father of his people will not fail the cause
ot God at the coming crisis. His return to Moscow
wag a triumphal march. In all the cities tbe mag-
istrates, muuicipal councils, and corporations went
out to meet him, and conducted bim to his resi-
dence aimd a procession of the inhabitants. At
Moscow the Town Council granted ten millions of
roubles, at his demand, toward tbe expenses of the
military preparations."
FARMS AND WAGES IN CALIFORNIA.
The San Francisco Alta of the 13th inst.
Ba^ s: " Oar attention has been called to the num-
beis of farms and of agriculturists or persons en-
gaged in farm labor in the ITnion and in California,
■and we find that though the fariA have on the
averaie three times ai many acres in this State,
there are relatively fa wer laborers to tbe farm. The
nation has 2,659,000 farms, and 5,922^000 farmers,
while our State has 23,000 farms aud 47,000 farmers. '
Ohio. Connecticut, and Nebraska have about the
name proportion as California, or two agriculturists
for each farm; while New-York, Pennsylvania, and
Iliinoi^i have three tor two farms, and Alabama aud
Georgia have four tor one farm. The larger average
size of the Californiao farms i« caused by the fact
that 2.700,000 acres out of 6,200,000 acres inclosed
are useu for pastures of wild grass; and that on ac-
count of the dry character and light, clean scil of
mosi of tbe farms, a man can cultivate a larger area
than in the moisr, weedy, and heavy soils of the At-
lantic States. There bas been no uutable change in
the rate of wages in California for several years.
Mechanics get from 83 to $5 per day; imskilled
while male laborers, from 81 to S3; and Chinamen
from 60 cents to tl, without board. Masons, plas-
lerers, and plumbers receive from 84 to 85; carpen-
ters, blacksmiths and wagon-makers, from 83 to 84;
servant girls for general housework, S15 to 825; fal-m
laborers, irom 825 to 830 in Winter, aud from 830 lo
850 in Summer, per month, with board. Miners get
83 50 or 84 per day ; and surface laborers at mines,
i^2 50 to 1^3, without board. Tne same work is done
for half so much on tbe Atlantic Slope and Acu-
tralla, and one-third in Europe, and provisions gen-
erally aie cheaper in Calilornia."

HORRIBLE DISCOVERT IN PARIS.
While angling for refuse in the Seine, iji Paris,
recently, a vagrant felt au unusual weight encum-
bering his line. He took steps to pull out of the
water what he expected would prove a valuable
find when, to his surprise, he discovered it to be
the trunk of a young woman, the hands of which
were tightly tied together with a cord. The body
presented marks of havinj been cut open with a
hatchet. Horiifled at the unwelcome sight, the
poor man ran tor the Commissary of the district,
who immediately telegraphed for M. Jacob, Chief
of the Police. The latter had the river dragged,
with tlie re»ult of finding the legs and other parts
ot the corpse. These, as was the case with the
trunk, were found wrapped in a petticoat of printed
ccttoii. As soon a.< they were collected, a medical
examination was made of the remains, and they
proved to be those of a female of about twenty-
eight ysars of ase, who evidently beloneed to the
workitig class. From their appearance they could
not have beeu iu the water above two or three days.
Crowns went to the Morgue, whore the mur-
dered woman was placed on view. Ko trace has
yet been discovered either of identity or of the per-
petrjttor of the crime.

TO THE STOCKHOLDEKS OF THE TO-
LEDO AND WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY:
According to arrangements made between the gold
mortgage bondholders and representatives of the
stockholders, opposition to thb confirmation of the
sale of the road, made at Toledo June 10 last, has been
withdrawn.
The condition of this withdrawal is, that stock-
holders of the old company shall have the right to
subscribe for stock of the new corporation to be or-
ganized, at the rate of $10 per shar', at intervals of
three months, commencing Feb. 1, 1877, with interest
from Nov. 1, 1876.
The gold bond mortgage of $5,000,000 undec this
arrangement will be paid off and canceled, ana the
new company will be relieved of the leased lines.
Subscriptions, which will be received by the Pur-
chasing Committee, at No. 52 William St., must be
made within thirty days from this d.,te, or the stock-
holders will forfeit the right to take the new stock.
The Protection Committee, having now fully' dis-
charged the trnst contlded to it, congratulates the
stockholders upon this sucressful termination of a
tediouB and expensive lawsuit, and earnestly advises
them to avail of the option thus secured.
Full particulars of the reorganization will be made
known at an early date, and meantime further in-
formation can be obtained of the Purchasing Com-
mittee, at the office, No. 52 William st.

SnK CONTRADICTS IMPORTANT STATE-
MENTS BY OTHER WITNESSES— MR.
CnOATK'S SUMMIXG-UP ARGUMKUT
. WEAKNESSES AND CONFLICTING EVI-
X>KNCB IN THE CASE OF THE PEOSECO-
TION EXPOSED.
"Yesterday •was another field-day in the Mar-
dnes-bet Tallo case. Part IH., Supremo Conrt, in
which the trial wm held, was comfortably erowdod
with the same aensation-seekinK assemblaKe as be-
fore, while tbe halls and vaasasrea of the eoart-
.Itoase were blockaded by a ft-antio tbrong of wonld-
b« spefltators. So lireat was the rash to behold the
-fklr plaintiff and her allesed aednoer that the lob-
I>i9S aroaad the entrance to the oanrt-room were
almost impassable, asd an extra toree of Police was
Tequired to keep a passaee-way clear for the Jadsce
«aa eoanspi. Miss Slartinei and her sister ooaa-
pied aeaiiS withia the bar, as before, and at a dis-
tance of a few feet eat Mr. Del Valle. During the
whole proceedinss the latter never onoe looked at
the plainllff. althoneh both she and her sister
glanced at him occasionally in a soomfal manner.
Among ^the spectators were several ladles. At
10:30 o'olook Judge Donohae arrived and the trial
beifan.
Police Justice Murray, who was understood te be
a witness to the plaintiff's previous good character,
was called for the proseoution, but failed to appear.
Xhomaa J. Hall, of No. 814 Broadway, was next
anmuoned. He testified that he knew the plam-
titf, and that she bad boosbt mnslo at his store. He
■«'a-> going on to state her demeanor on that oooa-
■Inn, when Jir. Choate objected, on (he gronnd that
th« defense had not impeached her previous cbar-
aottr. After some argument the witness retired,
gad i ohn W. Manniog, one of the haQ-boys who
witaf« led Miss Martines's alleged improprieties at
the HokJel Boyal. was called. Mr. Beach showed
him an aiHdavit. which he identi&ed as having been
made by him, and which was marked by the court.
Patrick O'Btien, who had discharged Manning
from the Everett Hoate, next took the stand. He
lestifled that he had dismissed Manning trom the
Bvereit Boase. Mr. Choate obleoted to nis evi-
dence also^ and Mr. Bf aoh explained that be wanted
to prove by the witoesa that Manning had been dii-
eharged for indecent conduct toward the servants
of the bouse. . The evidence was decided to be in-
admiacible.
W. H. Gleniwn, the other hall-boy at the Hotel^
Hoyal, was the jiext witness. He testified that he
tud told Buckley, the man with whom he lodged,
ttkat he bad been to Del Valle. He had not told faim
(hat he could makejnoney out of Del Valle because
)ie waa rich, but no£^oat ot the plaintiff^ as she was
peor.
Jnsti^ Murray was «aUed for again by Mr. Beach,
bat failed to resiMnd. John S. Clnne was also
sailed, bat did not appeasr.
THE PLAINTIFF AOAIN ON THE STAND.
Tbi« witness then took the siand in rebuttal, and
was examined by Mr. Beach.
Q, On the next day after the accident, did yon
■eet the plaintiff by appointment in front of Stew-
art'a store f— A.— Yes, Sir.
Q.— I>i4 yon paxchase,a ring en the following
layt
Mr. Choate — I objeat to the admission of this
evidenca. Jt la not in rebuttal, and has already
^B gone ov«r sufficiently.
Mr. Beacb tnsiated on its admisaioa, but the court
xnled ia favor of the defense, and the evidence was
excluded. Ap exceptioa was neted. A number of
aimllar questions were asked and rnled out for the
jase reason. ^hJS witness then testified as follows -.
', I did not meet tile defendant on the 21st of April,
aor did I tell bim that I had left home on the 19th
"af April; I did not tell liim that twoToungmen
^ad accompanied myself and sister home the San-
day evenmg before, and that my £sther had been
wery angrr at it; I never told him that laj step-
Ather attempted to take liberties with my person ;
I never seat him a message about lemovine to the
Sotel Boyal on the 28th of A.pnl ; he never pro-
posed to make my salary as governess $dO per
month, and theu; raised it at my request to $100 ;
tio did not remonstrate with me concerning my
jtorae-back rides; X never in any way solicited the
privilege ot staving with mm after he spoke of
aeading me home, nor did I promise to be good in
the future.
Q. — ^Did yoa ev^er expose your limbs in the man-
s«r described by the nurse Martini A — (Indig-
nantly)—Never,; Sir.
Q. — Did yon ever aleftp with yotir door open I A.—
Ifever ; I never even chantred my dress with the door
open ; the utmost 1 did was to soinetimes comb my
hair with it open ; the children were often passing in
■od out of the room during the evening ; I never
asked Mr. Del Valle to bay me a pair of f lUO diamond
rar-nnEB ; I never exposed my limbs on a sofi in
bu presence; It«ld the census-laAer I was furty-
two years old in jest.
Mr. Beaeb — Yau have heard the story of the hall-
Miy, GHennon. that be found a Mr. Predeiick Ham-
Bood in your room at the Hotel Boyal with the
door lockeo ; is it txue ?
Witness, (placidly)— It Is false.
Q. — ^Did yoa see anythine of Mr. Hammoad at the .
boiel J A.— Several of my bills were receipted by
bim; I have made eflurts to find Mr. Hammond
since this testimony was given, but I have not been
able to do so ; the irutb in reeard to the testimony
of the twy Manning is this : Two days alter I ar-
rived at tue hotel I had a conversation with Mr.
Hammond in mv room ; 1 told bim if anybody called
except Mr. Del Valle I was not to be at home; while I
«->» lalliing Manning came to the door with a mes-
nee ; Celia Bainbow never spent half the day in my
Toom on the first Sasday in PoaKbkeepsle ; nor did
the look at the dresses in my trank ; mv room at
the Hotel Boyal was about ten feet long by four teec
w ide.
Mr. Beach — You are not an arohlteet t
WjtDssa— No, Sir.
Q.'-Did you tell Celia to say to Mr. Del Yalle
a&t the side-saddle was dven to you by your
saotber I A. — No, Sir. On the day 1 receiveo the
tSOO from Saratoga I did not send $1U0 to my mother;
1 nev^r rolled on the floor, exposing mv legs in bis
presence ; I used to play and romp with the chil-
dren sometimes ; Mr. Del Valle never remonstrated
with me for my conduct.
Q.— Pid you ever have any such conversation
Willi Mrs. Qaackenbasb, as that described by her 1
A. — (Emphatically) — Never I Sir, never !
Q. — Were you ever at Mr. Kramer's ofiBce at ISo.
395 Broadway! A.— Never, Sir; I was never at
Mi. Lewis' office on Broadway ; I was afterward
latroduced to Mr. Kramer by his brother; I did not
give Mr. Del Valle my picture on the dav after the
accident ; Del Valle UAver proposed to pay me 1150
before euing to Poughkeepsle tor English lessons.
Q.— Dlu yuu ever lell him '' that you didn't think
be should be at raid of aleepiog with you!" A. —
Kever, Sir ; I never spoke to Celia about getting
uiuney to take me home: when I wanted money 1
went to Mr, Del Valle and asked him for it.
Oo tbe cross-examination, Mr. Choate banded the
. pluiatiff tbe plan of her bed-room at the Hotel
'B'jyal, and said :
Q. — 19 that the plan of your room, prepared by
yourself f A.— It is.
Q, Please to tell us, then, whether, it the room
• was only lotir feet wuie, your bed was not two and
one-halt fert lung by six inches in width 1 ' (Laugh-
tor.) A.^Confosedly.) I am not a mechanic.
Q, "Was Mr. Kramer the gentleman wlio made
you an offer of marriage 1 A.— Yes, Sit. I made his
acqnaintance about the middle of February, 1875 ;
1 uida't know lilm before the 1st of January, of
that year.
<j.— How do yon explaintthe circumstance that
Dei Valle propcstsd to you three weeks after the
14it of Jaxjiiary, andthat yon receiveo an offer of
naniage fiom Kramer on the 25th of February.
Xb« witness did not attempt to explainit.
Ineffcsctoal calls were again made for Police Jus-
tice Murray, but be was not forthcoming. Mr.
Beacbo^ec read the affidavit of Glennon, the ele-
vator t|dy at tbe H«>tel Boyal, in which the latter
swore tbat the bed upon which Hammond sat on
the occasion of his visit to the plaintifi's room, was
disturbed.
Tbe evidence for both sides was now io, and
Judee Douobue proceeded to limit the counsel in
' 'samiuing up to two hours each. Mr. Beach's time
was .'jubuequently extended half an hour, and Mr.
Llbuate asked auu obtained a similar priTilege.
UR. CHOATE'8 summing UP FOB THE DEFENSE.
At 11:50 Mr. Cboate commenced summing up for
the deiense. lu opening bis address he congratu-
lateil tile jury on the prospect of their speedy re-
lease from their ardnous and necessarily disagreea-
ble duty. It was his duty, however, to put them
an their guard aeainst one thing, namely, the
seductive influence of the plaintiff's beauty. He
would especially caution the foreman — who, more
than his iieiabbots, Had been exposed to the lull
blaze of her charms — azainst the silent but power-
ful influenoo of her manifold attractions. He (the
Counsel) bad been toid by friends outside that, al-
though be had an escelient case, it would not heip
bim with the jnrv, because tbe beaut? of the plain-
tiff was mora than a match for all the facts he ooald
produce, but he trasteU that these prealctions were
incorrect, and that the Jury would discharge their
duty withasiuale eye to justice between the parties.
He must likewise caution them aeainst the seduc-
tive eloquenoe of his learned friend— the counsel on
the other^de — who. in matters of sexual htigatien,
(if he miiJBf be allowed to use the term,) was with-
out a peer or a rival. fLaugbter. | The plaintiff
had said on the stand that she had not brought this
suit lor money, but to establish her charaoter. Un-
Jortuiiateiy for her, her own evidence had estab-
liiUeil that cbaracter in a manner that could not be
diaoriived. It waa true that her trainine had fitted
h«jr tur Det present position. BrouKbt up under the
suict and rigid discipline of one of the most siart-
liug monsters with whom criminal records has ever
maoe us aci^usinted ; exposed from her girlhood to
she dared to marry, it was no wonder such a school
had produoed such a pupil. According to her own
admissions her whole family life was tainted with
suspicion. For long periods this phenomenal step-
father had neglsoted to suppsn his family, and its
expensss bad been regularly paid by tue temale
members. Without religion, without church in-
fluences, without a Ood, what sore of a nature mast
hei's have become I The iury must remember that
this was not a timid and inexperienced young girl,
alone in a great city, but a young and nandsome
woman, of strong will and keen perception, and an
adept in the ways of iNew-Tork. Already, before
her meeting with Del Valle, she had traveled under
tbe aliases of Livingston and Howard, and received
letters under these assumed names from various
men. Everyone knew what these things meant.
Kever, on tho Spanish Main, did a bold privareer
pursue and board a rich West lodiaman. homeward
Doand, with more of avidity and eagerness than this
plaintiff had mamftsted in her chase of this
weal'by Cubaa. Dininz en rich meats and
winea with him, alone in the private
rooms of restaurants, willing to eo to a hotel under
an Bsannied name and remain there lodeQnitely,
this was oertaiulv not one of the meek and modest
damsels who were ruined tbrousb their' own inno-
cence. While eneaeed to her alleged lover she vol-
nntarily (roes to his house as governess on a salary
of $100 per month, and when her employer comes
in npan ber in her bedrnom, she surienders to his
embraces with all the ease and facility of an adept
in the art of orlmiual conversation. Tbe jury had
seen her on the stand durine all her long and loatb-
some testimony ; had they durioK that peiiod seen
as.ngle blush on ber face, a ningle symptom of dis-
tress on ber sharp and intellieent features? It; was
true that once when describinar the scene of
her alleged first intimacy with tbe plaintiff
she had put her handkerchief to her face,
and her acnte' counsel had cned '•Water!
Water!" as tboiigh tbe beach was m daniier of
ooDflagration ; but when the handkerchief was
removed not a muscle of her face bad moved, and
her eye was asradient, andher smile as eparkllut: aa
ever. Was this the crushed and bleediue inno-
cence which they were accustomed to look far in
such cases, and which Georee Eliot and Walter
Scott bad depicted in such glowing colors 1 If this
was so, the novelists of tbe f ature had a duty to
perform in changing established ideas in this
respect. But there was a portion of the plaintiff's
conduct wblls on the stand, which made bis
[the counsel'sj blood run cold ; that was the
coolness, the «aie, and tbe actual relish
with which she related* those stories of
smut and indecency which she claitoed to have been
told her by the delendant as a part of bis personal
experience. One of these stories w.ns not original
With her. It was tbe story of the love aflair with
the married lady who had no ciiildron and wanted
them, and who wa.s afforded the opportunity of hav-
ing them by her lover across the way. Tuii story
was as old as Bacoacio, and his " Decameron," and
even reappeared m a French garb lung at'ier his
day. Was there anything more likely than that the
plaintiff in her early education at tbe hands of her
kind but lustful step-father, had included in her
course of reading, the works uf Boccacio and of
other gifted but licentious authors ?
0ONTBADK3TIONS IN TUB PLAINTIFF'S CASE.
The case on tbe plaintiff's side depended solely
on her oath against those ol fourteen others. Ia
one of her answers she had shown ber unscrupn-
louaness and utter lack of moral sense by saying
that she did not tell the truth in a previous answer
" because she did not want to." This step-father of
hers — what an anomaly he was! — so kind, so cous.d-
erate, so gentle — exceyt when atiempdng to violate
ber, or threatening to shoot her and her Imsband
in case she ever married. [Laughter.] At
Pougbkeepsie this rcmarlcablb parent un-
dergoes another change. He dines nita tho
niaintiff and sleeps under the same roof with ber.
(knowing her, as she suys, to be engaged to Del
Valle,) and there ia no t ilk of pistols or shooting.
It waa a oitv that this man waa uut alive to tell tbe
truth about himself — whether he was the laviuc
munsler the plaintitf and her f.imily had depicted,
or whether he was only an ordinary man, and tbe
stories about him were invented to work upon Mr.
Del Valle's sympathy. The plaintiff's letter to the
detendant gave the absolute lie to her sworn state-
ments on the stand, and theie were twelve or thir-
teen similar contradictions in her testimony. Her
assertion In regard to the allesed promi«e of mar-
riage was another self-convioted falsehood. Sue
swears that she met Del Valle on the 14 ih of Janu-
ary; that there was no talk ot marriaijie between
them until three weeks later ; that then Del Valle
proposed to ber, and that they both weut to a jow;
elry store en Sixth avenue, wnere he purchased tue
engagement ring and gave it tu her. This was a
must artful arrangement uf ftcts, (ao called,) and
the pUiuiiff thought that by dragging in the pur-
chase of the rin^, which could not be disproved,
she would olinob the matter in ber favor. Bat the
jeweler's clerk who sold them the lin^, swore posi-
tively that they bought it on the 15tb of January,
the very day after their meeting, and when, accoru-
Ing to her sworn statement, Del Valle had not even
mentioned love to ber. Bat this would not satisfy
the prosecution. The books of the jewelry fi;m
were produced, and there, in its regular |;lace,
under the date of Jan. 15, was reuoided the
sale of the identical ring which the witness
how brought forward as a proof of her mar-
riage engasement to Del Valle. There was
but oae conclusion toat tbe Jury could
come to from this eviJeute, and
that was that this alleged promise of marriage
never took place, and that being disproved, the
plaintiffs whole case falls to the grouad. This
ring busineas was a boomerang to ber side of tbe
case, and where sfae has expected it would demolish
the detendant, it bad only recoiled upon herself.
The speaker then reviewed the eviuencu of Mrs.
Louis and Mrs. Krank, both of whom testified that
tbe plaintiff rectived letters nn&er the alias of
*• Miss Howard," and thai certain of those letters
boie the monogram of " F. H.." fFrederick Ham-
mond."]
AFTEE RECESS.
After recess Mr. Choate resumed his discussion
of tbe case, commenting favorably upon the bear-
ing of his client while on tbe stand, and cautioning
the jury against subJectinK themselves to his pan-
iahment by rushing to the assistance of fair ladies
who had fallen on the pavement. He knew that
there was a parable concemin>; the Giod Samari-
tan, but then it was "a certain man" who went
down to Jericho, and there was no injunction that
men should lift up a fair or falleu lady who had
slipped upon a piece of ice or orange-Dee.. [Laugh-
ter.] It was true that the lady in this case whs most
willing to be lifted up, to be cared for, to be >
taken to a French restaurant and treated to rich
viands and wine, all at the expense ot a compara-
tive stranger. The counsel himself oil nut regard
Solari's as the place where a young lady would care
to go, even with a future husoand, and he-wa.t quite
sure that no member of this jury would care to take
his intended bride there and be known to be in the
habit of occupying piivate rooms with her alone.
But in this case it would not do to be too exacting.
The "biz bonanza" of the >£artiaez family had
hove in siebt, and they must capture him lesard-
Jess of maidenly scruples or womanly tjelf-teapcct.
What efforts they made to induce him to visit the
Martinez's Louse, bow solicitous they seemed to .see
as much of him as possiMe, how vigilantthey always
were— this fair plaintiff, and her sweet suter and
her good mother — lest their Consolidated Virginia
in the person ol this wealthy fureieuer should slip
through their fingers. [Laughter.] Tho pUmtitf
said that she had t<ild her mother and sis;er uf Mr.
Del Valle's offer of marrlace. Did any one suppose
that if he bad really made snch a promise tbe
whole world of the Martinez family would not have
known it? If such an engagement bad ever exist-
ed that worthy tno would have proclaimed it frem
the bonse-tops and tbe street corners. Then
there was tho unaccountable circumstance of this^
Mr. Kramer also proposing marriage to her ai^'
the lime she says she was . engaged to
Del Valle. Was not" this something usheard of ?
A young lady whom her parents know to be eii-
gai:ed to a wealthy gentleman above her station,
and who, by reason of her constant rides, walks,
lunches, theatres, excnrsions, and English lessons
with him, has her whole time taken up tu the ex-
olasion of anything else — was it probable that such
a youne lady would continue fur weeks afterward
to receive tbe attentions uf a third party, and that
that third party should propose to hnr, knowing, as
he must have known, that Del Vullo had been ac-
cepted before him ? This tale was altogether too
wild and improbable to merit any beliot, but
whether this Jury credited it ur noi, the plaintiff
was not in the slightest degi'ee exuioated from this
net in which her other falsehoods bad enmeshed
ber.
WHO IB FREDERICK HAMMOND?
Now, as to this young man Uammond at tbe Ho-
tel Royal. Tbe plaintift" swore that she never knew
bim before, and yet that morning she admitted that
be had been in her room at the Hotel It('yal. " She
said she had tried to find him, but could not, and
meantime her able counsel nad tried to baffle and
confuse the hotel boys who had seen that uiao in
her room. Tbe connsel thousht that tbere had been
"a job" attempted to be "put up " on hl« boys that
morning, but somehow or other the Mr. Klun or
Clune, or whatever his name was, who was t;oiug to
•'crush " them, had failed to arrive. The question
arose, where was this Frederick Hammond } It
bad been said that he was ''in the muuntains." For
aught the other side had told them, be misht be m
the Rocky Mountains, or tue Alleghany Mountain's,
Or the Monntaiuslot the Moon in Atrica, where pos-
sibly they would have to cet the assistance of the
plaintiff's newly-acquired relative, Dr. Livtntrstoiie,
to discover bim. [Laughter.] In reality, this Mr.
Hammond was no furrher off than the Palisade
Mountain House, ia New-Jersey, and if, as the
plaintiff bad intimated, he was really able to clear
her of these damaging imputaiiouf, the first train
would bring bim to the City. Tlie trouble was that
the other side didn't want to find Mr. Hammond,
and Mr. Hammond, in all probaoility, did not want
tu be found.
A DAMAGING BIT Ol' TESTIMONY.
Passing on to ber lite at Poughkeepsle, what
could be discovered in it to justify her assertion if
a matrimonial encagement between her and Del
Vallel Instead of proving a close intimacy between
the plaintiff and defendant, every other witness in
tbe case deposed to tbe existence of a contrary
state of things, and Mrs. Dr. Quackenbush, whose
testimony his learned friend had not attempted to
impeach, had sworn to a conversatiou with tbe
plaintiff, in which the latter told what 1 That she
was engaged to Mr. Del Valle, and was
to be his future wife I Kothiog of the
sort. She simply told Mrs. Quackenbush
that she had been driven from home by her Mither's
amorous persecutions, and that her mother had
begged her to go with Mr. Del Valle as hs gov-
emess. Not a particle ot evidence had been ad-
duced from any one of the numerous witnesses,
except the plaintiff, to prove that tbe slightest
inumaoy had existed between her and Del Valle at
•disproved tbe alleged promise of marriage, 4nd it
was extremely doubtful whether the criminal rela-
tions describel by her ever existed between them.
The defendant was assumed by tbe opposite side to
he a man of ungovernable pag8ions,andyet.aocordinlc
to their own admissions, oe had kept his desires in
perfect control dnrine six months, when be had
eveiy opportunity of gratifying them at Solari's
and elaewhsre, and when his so doing would not in-
cur the liability to disgrace and exposure which
Bucb an intimacy would entail if carried on in his
own house. Was not this a monstrous contradic-
tion t And then her Constant exposure of her
limbs, and her other improprieties. On which side
was the seduction, assnmiof: that there was any.
The counsel reviewed rapidly me testimony of
several of the other witnesses on this point, and
concluded with an eloquent appeal to the luiy to
decide by tfaelr verdict so tbat in future women
like the plaintiff would hesitate before drazpng
reputable gentamen into conrt in default of ob-
taining Dlaok-nil.
FARE DEPAB'EUEjST COBBUPIION.
A COMMITTEE OP PROMINENT CITIZKWS
PRESENT CHARGES AGAINST THE COM-
MISSIONERS— NEGLECT OP 1>UTY AND
EXCKS8IVK COMPENSATION OF EM-
PLOYES ALLEGED.
The charges of negleot of duty and excessive
compensatfoo for the labors performed by their em-
ploves which have been alleged against tbe Com-
missioners of the Department of Parks assumed a
specific form yesterday, when a committee of prom-
inent citizens waited upon tbe Mayor and presented
a written statement of tbe mismanagement, upon
which they expect to obtain the removal of the Com-
missioners. The committee consisted of Col. Rush C.
Hawkins, Chairman; Messrs. Jackson S. Schultz,
Dnrmau B. Eaton, Charles E. Smith, A, E. Whit-
ney, and W. L. Strong. Mr. William K. Martin, of
tbe Park Department, was also present, but took
no part in the proceedings. When the committee
entered the Mayor's office, the Board of Apportion-
ment waa in session, and Col. Hawkins said : " Mr.
Mayor, we appear in behalf of a number of influen-
tial citizens of New-York, who, believing, with a
large portion of the community, that the Central
Park has not been managed as it ought to have
been managed for tbe last few years, have thought
proper to prefer charges against two of the Com-
missioners, and they have delegated us to appear
before you and present them."
Tbe Mayor — This is a meeting of tbe Board of
Apportionment, and when it is concluded, if you
desire to address me as Mayor, I shall be happy to
hear yoa. As soon as the board has adjourned I
shall receive you.
CuL Hawkins — ^I will state we do not desire to
make any argument at all. Our charses are in
. writing, and we simply desire to hand them to you.
The Mayor — If you wish simply to present tbe
charge I shall' take It.
Col. Hawkins — That is all we desire.
The.Mayor — Of course anything that there is in
this charse yoa. eentlemen, come prepared to sub-
stantiate.
Col. Hawkins — We certainly do.
The Mayor — I can only say that I shall read the
Charlies carefally, and give them all tbe considera-
tion and attention to Which they are entitled. I
will seud a copy to the Park Department, to tbosa
gentlemen wlioare charged with neglect of duty,
and give you an opportunity to be heard In their
presence at tbe earliest possible moment. I expect,
of Gonrse, you will substantiate tbe charges.
The charges which Col. Hawkins presented, and
the siEnatures to them, are as follows :
To Hon. WiUiam JS. Wiekham, Mayor of the City of
New-York :
SiB: The undersigned, your petitioners, citizens
of the State of New-Tork, and residents and tax-
payers in the City of New-York, respectfully show:
J'irst.— William R Martin and Jos^h J. (J'Dono-
hue ore now, and ware at the times hereinafter
mentioned, members of tke Board of Commission-
ers of tbe Department of Public Parks in said City;
tM&t at the times hereinafter mentioned they, la
their o£Boial capacity as said Commissioners, caused
to be discharged certain clerks and -others, who
were in cbairge of bureaus in said department, and
that tbe names and ocoupatlon of tbe persons are aa
follows, viz^
Jan. 31, 1876 —
1. George H. Harrison, clerk in tbe oflSce of the
Disbursing Clerk for about four years.
2. William E. Beames, Property Clerk fjr about

3. B. N. Barlow, elerk in the office of the CItU and

years.
5. Henry Koster, Captain of the Central Park
Police f r about twelve years.
6. I. F. Belton, clerk in the office of the Disburs-
ing Cleric for about eight years.
'That all of said persons were, as your petitioners
have good reason to believe, discharged from their
employment without cause, and previous to their
receiving notices from the Secretary of the said
department informing them that they were dis-
charged, thev were not informed of any cause fur
said dischsrges, nor were tbey allowed an oppor-
tunity for explanation, and that up to this time no
cause has beea assigned or preseated to them for
their removals, ^nd that tbs records of said depart-
meat show that no entry of the true grounds of said
removals were forthwith, or at any time, entered
upon them ; that all of the uaid removals were in
direct violation of section 23 of chapter 335 of tbe
Laws of 1873.
Second. — Tna minutes of tbe meetioK* of said
Board of Commissioners show tbat Deo. 3, 1875, a
resolution was voted lor by said Commissioners
Martin and O'Donijhat, of which the following it a
trae copy, viz.:
Feiday, Dec. 3, 1875.
Resolved, That in the opiniun of this board $2 is
not too much f jr a day's labor of eight hours.
Yea^ — Commissioners Martin, O'Dnnohae — 3.
Aays — Commissioners Stebblns, Williamson — 2.
And that tbe following is a further true copy of
an extract from the minutes of tbe meetings of said
board, viz.:
Wkdnesdat, May 31, 1876.
From tbe Superintendent of Parks, stating tbat
be requires the followiug number ot laborers,
mechanics, &c., to carry on the w^orks ordered on
the 24'.h last., viz., 1^ masons, 4 stone-cutters, 3
carpenters, 2 paioiets, 60 laborers and 2 double
tsaais.
Commissioner Stebbins offered the followisg reso-
lution, which was laid on tne table;
Resolved, Tbat when tbe laborers, mechanics, &c.,
required by tbe Superintendent, aa mentioned in
his communication, are employed, their pay be fixed
at the rates paid by the Department of Public
Works far similar description of work, and that it
bo referred to tke President to ascertain and report
said rates of pay.
Commissioner O'Donohue moved that the num-
ber of laborers, mechanics, &c., required by tbe
Superintendent of Parks be employed at the
present rate of wages, unless, on receipt of the
reply of the Controller, the waees be reduced.
Teas — Martin, O'Donobue, Wetmore, 3.
JVaj/- Stubbius, 1.
That for a long time previous to the passage of
the tiisi of said resolutions, at the time of its pas-
t<a;ie, and ever since, tbe pay far a day's labor of
eight hours in the Department of Public Works has
been $1 60 ; tbat tor the same period the pay of a
common lahorer far a day's work of ten hours, bai
been rrom $1' to $1 50. These last mentioned are
the prices paiU by private contractors.
That at this time, and for a long time previous,
the said Department of Public Parks has had in its
employ a large number ot common laborers, one
hundred and fifty and upward, and that there has
been oaid to each of them (2 per day, for a day of
eight' hours' labor, and that, during tbe whole of
said time, said Martin and O'Donohue knew that
they ware being paid a large amount above the
market valuefor their said labor.
Tbat by reason of tbe official action and miscon-
duct of said Commissioners Martin ana O'Donohue,
in ref'DSiucr to reduce, or to co-tiperate in reducing
the pay of labor, as was within their power and
duty as members of said buard to have done, tbe
City gf New- York has been drtrauded out of a large
amount uf money, which, if thsy bad performed
tlieir official duties, (imposed upon then; as public
iifiicer.t,) honestly and in good faith, would have
bei-n taved.
And your petitioners charge that such neglect of
duty in omittiUK to obtain labor at reasonable mar-
ket or fair rates, as was easy to have done, and in
illegally discharging clerks and employes, is a part
ot an arbitrary, and reckless, and extravagant
course of ofiiciai oonduot on tbe part of said Martin
and O'Donohue.
For tbe reasons above set forth your petitioners
respectfullv pray tbat said William R. Martin and
Jg.ieph J. O'JJonobue be removed Irum the Byard of
Commis-jioners of Public Parks.

ARREST OP A. OOZTNTERFEITEB.
A tall, respectably dressed young man, who
gave bis name as John ManniuK, was arraigned in
the First District Police Court in Jersey City yes-
terday morning for examination on a charge of pass-
ing oounterfeit money. The first witness aeainst
him was Mr. Krelzmeyer, the proprietor of a
grocery store at the comer of Grand and Colden
streets. He testified that a week ago yesterday tbe
prisoner came into his store and purchased a pound
of snuar, a pound of fanna. and a glass of jelly, for
which he gave in payment a felO bUL He received
19 59 in change, and went away. On Wednesday
night be came to the store again, purchased tbe
same kind of articles, and produced a 610 bill to pay
for them. Kretzmeyer collared him, and an officer
was called, who took him tof the station-house.
Kretzmeyer's clerk was sworn, and corroborated
nis employer's statement. Two other witnesses,
proprietors of grocery stores, were placed on tbe
stand, and testified that the prisoner had called at
their stores, purchased a pound of suear, a pound
of farina, and a i:ls!8'4 of JeUy, and paid for them
with oounierteitSlO bills on tbe same bank as those
be had given to Kretzmeyer. One of tbe witnesses,
Mrs. Bsrtels, testifieii that he came to her store the
second time. None of the counterleit money was
found in the prisoner's possessioB, from wjvcn it is
inferred that he had an aconiaplice, who ca.'Vied the
"queer" while he "shoved" it. It is expected
tbat many other victims will turn np as soon as tbe
fact of the arrest becomes known. The counter-
feits are all on Iniiana national banks, and are
poorly executed. Tbe prisoner stated tbat be re-
sided in New- York, and never was In Jersey City
until Wednesday night. He will be taken before a
United States Commissioner for further examina-
tion. '

Louis Hahlerstadt, the former proprietor of
a grocery store at the corner of Park avenue and
Ninth street, Hoboken, was placed on trial in the
Hudson County Quarter Sessions yesterday on an
indiotment chargine him with having conspired to
commit arson. Hahlerstadt purchased the store
from Henry L. Timken last Sprine, and gave a note
in part payment. Shortly afterward Mr. Timken
noticed tbat the stock was rapidly decreasing, and
his suspicions were aroused. Hahlerstadt assured,
bim that he was doine a good business, taking in at
least 150 a day. A clerk in tbe store named Ber-
bens informed Mr. Timken, however, that the re-
ceipts did net average t8 a day. Subueaiientiy
Berhens disclosed to Mr. Timken tbe details of a
plot his employer had concocted to destroy the
premises by fire. On June 5, Hahlerstadt was to

two barrels of kerosene-oil in the ceUar. ready to be
Ignited, and with everythins preparitd to insure the
destruction of the building. After Hahlcrstadt's
departure Borbeus was to remove all cbe goods to
New- York, and set fire to the building at night. It
was aUo arraueed that after tbe flames had sained
guod headway Berhens should luwe. bimiaelf from
an upper window by means of a rope, and give an
alarm. Hahlerstadt was arrested as be was on his
way to take tbe tritin for Prnladelpbia. but Berhens
disappeared, and has not been seen since. The case
is still on.
TTFO UNFAITHFUL aUARDIANS.

tered by burglars and robbed ot a larere amount of
property, consisting chiefly of laces, wearing appa-
rel, auu household utensils. Kelly exhibited a
screw-driver and a small club, which he stated* bad

bors as a Baptist minister, and, above all, bis per-

A BBPUBUCAN TRIUMPH.
The South Carolina Supreme Court met
yeeteTdfty moruing, and counsel for the
^Democrats asked for an order requiring
each of the members of the Board of Can-
▼aasexs tosbow cause why they should not
-be punished for contempt. The order was
granted, and made returnable at four
in fhe afternoon, aA which hour
the Court reassembled, and Mr. Cor-
bin. counsel for the board, presented'
an affidavit asking for farther time. The
court refosed to grant it, and will issue
the order committing the members of the
board to jail this morning unless the board
should before that time pu^e the contempt.
Conns^ for the Democrats then prayed
that a peremptory mandamus issue
to compel the Secretary of State to
grant certificates of election to the
Democratic Senators "and Representa-
tives from Edgefield and Laurens. The
Court hesitated to grant this, ahd held
the matter under advisement. Our dis-
patches £rom Louisiana are entirely fa-
Torahle^ The impartial action of the Be-
taxnuig Board is extorting, even from its
enemies, the confession that.it has acted
Curly and justly throughout. The returns
from the uncontested parishes show a
large miyority for the Republican Electoral
^ket. The hearing of evidenoe in the con-
tested cases will commence on Monday, the
returns from East Baton Bonge being taken
up first. This is one of the terrorized par-
ishes, and the Democrats acknowledge that
If the Eepublicans can prove their
chaises the vote should be thrown
ooti ' These charges, our dispatch
states, will be nroved conclusively.
In Florida, argument was continued be-
f(»e the Circuit Court on the injunction and
mandarnqs oases. The Democrats would
appear to be fighting a shadow in this mat-
ter, but their real object in instituting the
proceedings is very plainly intimated by
our correspondent. The returns from nearly
all the counties are now in, and everything
gives assorance that Gov. Hayes will be
aor next Piesident, beyosd,the shadow of a
doubt.

; Columbia, Nov. 24.— :The Supreme Court
net at 11 o'clock this morning. 'Gen. Conner.
JO the part of the Demoeratt^ read a paper re-
dixag the various steps of the present litiga-
tioD, and also the fact of the adjeornment of
the Board of Canvassers, and their action
on Wednesday. He asked for relief^ bat
left the kmd of relief to the ooort. The Chief
Justice said it was net customary to leave it to
the eonrt. Coansel should move the kind of
z<dief stfught. ▲ motion was then made for
an order requiriug each ot the members of the
Board of State Canvaoaers to show cause wby
he should not be punished for contempt This
was granted, and made returnable at 4 in the
ftfterauon. A similar role was granted against
Mr. Corbin, returnable at 10:30 to-morrow.
Mr. Corbin then read the return of H. E.
H»yne, Secretary of State, to the writ ot man-
damus granted on Wednesday last. In eub-
•tanee he declares: Ist, That the board or-
' g^Bixed on Nov. 10, and adjourned from day to
day, Sunday excepted, and proceeded to per-
form the duties imposed on them by law ; that
having folly completed its duties, it adjourned
wine tUe at 13:48 P. M. on Wednesday ; and that
when the erder of the Supreme Court was
passed, the board bad already ceased to exist.
Judge Wright, the only fiepublican Judge,
dissented from all the proceedings, as he has
done from the beginning.
A rule was granted ordering the Secretary of
Stote to show cause why he should not be or-
dered to issue certificates of election to the
Democratic Senators and Sepresentatives from
Edgefield and Laurens.
The demeanor of Moses and WiUard was
' layage in the extreme, and the Demeorats are
)xultmg in the assoranoe that the court will
leclare the action ot the Board of Canvassers
aullandyoid; and if its members refuse to
reassemble, they assert that the Suareme
Court will order its Clerks to issue certificates
of election to the Tilden Electors.
At 4 o'clock the court reassembled to hear
the return of the board to the rules to show
cause why they should not be nuaished for
contempt, and also the return of the Secretary
of State oa the rule to show cause why
a writ of mandamus should not issue,
requiring him to certify to the electiou of tbe
Demueratio candidates in Laurens and Erlge-
^"ield- Mr. Hayne replied that the statute
(•quired him to certUy to the determlna
tion of the Board of Canvassers, but
that he could not, under tbe statute, cer-
tify to any action not taken by the board, or
to any decision of the Supreme Court. The
counsel for the Democrats at oace demanded
Ibat be sbuuld be ruled peremptorily to certily
as asked tor on ths rule. The court hesitated
to grant tbe order, ana held it under adyige-
ment.
The othier memhars ot the board replied to
the rule to show cause why they should not be
committed for contempt, that they had had
^jily two houxs to preu.ue an answer, and had
liot yet even obtained couusel. They asked
til to-morrow to sftiswer. The Dem-
ocratic counsel opposed this, and
wanted them sent at once to jail.
The court ordered the necessary orders to bo
prepared forthwith. The Democratic lawyers
found it impossible to mal^e out the necessary
orders, which would have to recite all the cir-
cumstances in each order, and they were
granted uutU to-mwrow at 10 A. M.
Judge Willard, daring the proceeding, made a
long speech from the bench, denouncing the
Board of Canyassers as oonspwators against
the liberties of tbe country. The Democrats
were electrified. There is no doubt bat that
the members of the board will tut aant
to jail to-morrow, and that the court
will order the Clerk of the Court to
certify to the election of the members in ques-
tion. They will then take up the question of
the Electors, and will probably send tor the re-
turns and canvass them in order to grant cer-
tificates to the Deracoratio Electors.
Gten. Buger arrived to-day from Florida.
Judge Willard's brother, a faoHBauy Demo-
crat, is here in the interest of Tilden. The
Judge was once a partner of Peter B. Sweeny,
and was always a Democrat until he wanted
office trom negroes.

COLUUBIA, S. C, Nov. 24.— The Suprsme Court
conveoed at 4 P. H. In response to tbe rule isaaed
St the morning session to the Board of Canvassers
to show cause why they should not be at-
tached for ooDtempt of court in refusing
to obey its mandate issued on Wednesday,
United States District Attorney Corbin, coanael
foe the board introduced an affidavit asking for far-
ther time. The court stated that if he would iudl-
cate the line of their defense, or assare the court
that they would obey its mandamus, farther time
would be granted. He wonld. not do this and
the reqaeat was refused. The ocmnsel for the
relators were instructed to draw the order, bat as a
recitation of all the /proceediugs was reqaired
as a preface to the order to commit the board for
conteinpt, they request until to-morrow morning to
file it."* The court said they hoped the board would
in the mornins obey its mandate and pnrsc the con-
tempt: if they 00 not they will be committed to
j<dl. The counsel for relators then moyed that a
peremptory mandamns issae to H. E. Hayne, Secre-
tary of State, to issae oeilificalvs to all members of
the)General Assembly, including the Coantles of
Iidgelleld ana Xiaarens, in acoordauca with the
order of the court of Wednesday's session.
Associate Justice Willard said that the relators
ought not to pray this at this stage of the proceed-
ings, as Mr. Hayne was now m contempt and
the coart had no assurance that he woald
obey, aa he had disobeyed their mandate
already, intimating that the counsel ought, therefore,
to await the result of the rule before moving this
order. Judge Willard said: "Here we have just
made a solemn decision, in which H. £. Hayne is a
party as a member of the Board of State Canvassers,
and as Secretary of the State If the order
in that case, an order directed to him as n-ell as to
the others on the board, had been obeyed this ques-
tion would not have aiixen. As the case now
stands an incident has occurred, rare In the history
of ciTilized society ; men clothed with civil au-
thority of - limited character, subject «o the
courts of the land, have placed themselves
in defiance of the highest court in the State of
Souih Carolina, and are now jeopardizing the se-
curity of justice and the sechrity of peace. Thev
are in an attitude ot defiance not only against ab-
stract law, but against its embodiment in this
court. They haye brought political death for a
moment upon tbe State and upon the na-
tion. Tbfey hold in their hands a
firebrand, and they have applied it to the whole
structure that covers us. While they are thus
standing defying the power of this court we are
now gravely considering the question of issuing
another mandate to another ot this board. I can-
not believe that when these gentiemen come to con-
sider— when they come to-niirht to ask
tb» favor and protection of their God when they
recall the sanctity of their o^tns of oface, 1 do not
believe they will longer resist the oower of this
court. This coart is clothed with majesty. We do
not speak the voice of men ; we speaK iu jadgment,
and Judgment is the voice of God. Every legal power
will be exhausted bv the court to f.jrce from thom
what their conscience does not yield, and whatever
loyalty, fealty, and justice ihare is in the comLuu-
nity, will be exerted to compel, hv force, what con-
soience does not yield. What are we doingJ What
reason have we for believing that tbia oraer will be
obeyed anjimoretban the others? What reason have
to believe that this defiance will cease ? We should
take into consideritiou tbu bearings of this quus-
tion. The action of this board, in my opinion, will
do more to call up a generous spirit la tbe people
and forgetfulness of partisanship to cause
them to nnite noon tbe high gronnd of
justice and truth than anytbine that has been done
in the history of the country since i^s first origin.
Has this court any reason to believe that its process
will be respected ?"'
The court meets to-morrow at 10 A. M.

There is much excitement in consequence.

Tallahassee, Nov. 24. — The cases of
inionction against the Governor and manda-
mus against the Canvassing Board were con-
cluded m argument to-day. Counsel are
to submit briefs with citations to hia Honor
this afternoon. It is believed the Court will
give its decision to-morrow. Col. Sellers, ex-
Gov. Brown, and Mr. Biddle made exhaustive
argumente in support of their extraordinary
doctrine. Gen. Barlow and Judge Emmons
spoke against it with great power. The gist of
this whole matter hes in the fact that the Dem-
ocrat« set up a mau of straw for the purpose
of knocking him down. They wish
to enjoin the Governbr from canvassino;
the returns, and make allegations that he in-
tends or Bay intend to do so, when his solemn,
oath is before the court that he never intended
and does not intend to doi any sucb thing. His
duty is clear under the law; but the Democrats
are attempting; to have the country believe that
Gov. Stearns threatens to do some great
wrong, to violate the law, and to can-
vass the returns for Presidential Electors
alone, and in defiance of, or in despite of, the
Canvassing Board. Nothing can bo more
glaringly false. The law requires the Gov-
ernor to ascertain and declare the result from
the Board of Canvassers, and thereupon to
forthwith issue certificates to the duly-elected
candidates. This is aU. Yet the Democrats
thought they could raise a breeze in the North
by charging a corrupt intention upon
the Eepubliaan Governor, and by rush-
ing the matter into court, and getting
their injunction against an act wliioh the Ex-
ecutive WOUld nover perform, create TTui'ore
in the country, in the confusion of -which they
might go on more securely in their infamous
work. Whether J udge White grants the iu-
junction or not, it Is plain that the Democrats
are beaten again at their own game. It is hu-
miliating to see such meu as Biddle and
Sellers lending their names and influence
to such palpably iniquitous proceedings, and
seek to throw about their revolutionary efi^orts
the semblance of law and dut". The Demo-
crats here assembled— and they are increasiug
every day — were in high glee this afternoon
over the harangues of their counsel. ICvery
word uttered to irritate, scaudalize, .or insult
Gov. Stearns — and many such abounded — was
seized upon by the attending local counsel with
avidity, aud carelully treasured.
"■ The evidence of fraud, bribery, and violence
on the part of the Democrats m a large number
of counties is accumulating. The details are
startling in manv iasiaucea, and will show to
the country when revealed, how cruel aud how
perfect a machinery ot injustice the Deuio-
crat.s put in motion. It is behoved that returns
from all counties will be in by the Qrst ofutixt
week. Leading Democrats here now do not
claim the Slate for Tilden with much earnest-
ness. The present hope is to carry the State
ticket at most, and trust to some Democratic
providence in the Electoral College ior Tilden's
last chance.

THE DECISION OF THE RETURNING BOARD
ON THE MISPRINTED TICKETS — A RE-
PORTED MISTAKE WHICH WAS NOT
MADE — THE CASE OF EAST BATON ROUGE
— A VOTE WHICH EVERYBODY CON-
FESSES OUGHT TO BR THROWN OUT —
REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS EXCELLENT.
By Telegraph from Our Special Corresvondent.
New-Orleans, Nov. 24.— The question of
what disposition would be made by the State
Canvassers of the tickets which bear only the
names of part of the Hayes Electors, about
which there has been so much dis-
cussion, has been finally decided by
the members of the board. TLey
have announced that they will count only
those votes which were actually cast ; that is
to say. they will not assume, as they were ad-
vised to do, that a ticket bearing the names ot
Hayes and Wheeler and the two Electors
at large should be counted for the district
Electors whose names were omitted from it.
By this wise and just decision they have spiked
another Democratic gun, and forced from a
number of the prominent Northern Democrats
here a confession that all their proceedings
thus far have been perfectly fair and honest.
Regarding the Natchitoches tickets, from
which it was first believed that the
names of two of the Hayes Electors had been
omitted, it was discovered tliis morning that
the tickets had been accurately printed, and
bore the names of all the Electors, but
that the Supervisors of the polls had
made a mistake in their returns.
To prove this error, the Natchitoches
case was reopened this morning, and it was de-
cided to send to the parisS to produce the bal-
lots in evidenoe. If the tickets were properly
printed, as is now stated, and the mistake in
the count was made by the Supervisors, the
maiority for Hayes will he increased about four
hundred votes. The Parish of St. Martin was
canvassed to-day, and the official returns show
a majority of eighty for the Kepublioan Elec-
toral ticket. This ends the canvass of tbe non-
contested parishes trom which returns
have been received. There are fourteen yet
to hear from. The papers in the case
of the contestad parish of East Baton Rouge,
were openejj this morning, and the board de-
cided to hear testimony on Monday next.
The affidavit in the ease teU of
the most inhuman cruelty practiced
by the Democrats upon Republican
negroes. All 'the Northern visitors join m the
statement that if the Republicans can prove
these charges, the vote of the praish must be
thrown out. The charges will be proved.

PKKTENDED DISCOVERY OF AN ERROR IN
THE NAME OF A REPUBLICAN ELECTOR
IN PENNSYLVANIA— SLENDER GROUND
FOR THEIR HOPES.
Special Dispatch to the Neto- Tor1t Times.
PniLADKLPHiA, Nov.'24.— The Democrats
in Pennsylvania have been studiouslv at work,
for some days past, m'^endeavoring to have
dropped from the list ot Electors in the State
the name of Mr, Starkweather. Col. Forney's
Press to-morrow will contain the following on
the subject :
"A statement is going tbe ronads of the Demo-
cratic papers to the effect that the Repnbilioan vote
of Philadelphia was cast fur an ^Electoral ticket con.
taining the name " Samuel "W. Starkweather." The
simple fact is that the entire 77,000 Rnpablican
votes of Philadelphia were oast for S. W. Stark-
weather, precisely as all the Republican
votes ot the State were oast for the same name.
The only error in the case was in the sending out
of tbe blanks from the Commissioner's offices to tbe
Jndges of the various precincts in Philadelphia, and
in these blanks the name of S. W. Starkweather
was made Samuel W. Starkweiither. The error is
sosliirhtand so manifest as to require very little
trouble to correct."

— A SIATHMENT BY THB COUNTY CLKRK
—THE EXAMINATION NOT YET* CON-
CLUDED.
St. Louis, Nov. 24.— In the Metcalf-Frost
mandamus case, testimony was taken this. after-
noon m regard to the alleged charsa of returns
from Precinct No. 57 from 272 for the first to 292.
Frederick L. Goresche, the County CJerk,gavealong
account of tbe matter, and said that while he. bad
no positive evidenoe that the figures had heen
changed, there were several circumstances in the
case which bore so strongly in that direction that
he not dijly believed that the figures were changed,
but that the change was made in his own office lif-
ted tbe polLbooks had been delivered to him,
by some person to him unknown. t)epn!y Clerk
Vogel and. Messrs. Bower and Young, who acted as
assistants' to the County Clerk, also testified to the
same general efi'ect as the above, but had no posi-
tive knowledge that a change in figures had been
made.
John p. Hasted, who acted as clerk for the Jpdges
of Election of Precinct No. 57, and who made up
the poll-book f )r that precinct, was then called,
but the counsel for Prost objected to his
evideace being taken, on' tho ground that
i point of fact, nobody's testimony could be takeo,
except that of the County Clerk, and they had per-
mi ted his deputies t^ testify only as a mattoi of
courtesy. The argument on this point
consumed the remaindsr of the afteuioon,
and It was finally agreed that Hasted should testify
to-morrow. The case excites much interest heie,
ana the court-room has been crowded with specta-
tors at each bearincr. It is rnmored to-night that
Goresche and his assistant were summoned this
afternoon to appear before tbe Grand Jury to-mor-
row and testify regarding the matter.

HOW THE NEGROES VOTE WHEN THEY
HAVE A CHANCE— EFFECT OF THE
PRESENCE OF SOLDIERS — A LADY AT
Till': BALLOT-BOX — A FAIR VOTE AND A
FAIR COUNT, WITH THE RESULT.
The following is an extract from a letter
written by a lady teacher in South Carolina to a
friend in the North. It will bo found thoroughly
worthy of perusal. How the negroes vote when
thoy are allowed to do so freely, is very graphically
set forth in the lady's communication :
My Dear G — - * * * * The whites tore away
about the soldiers being sent down, but let me tell
you, where they thought the soldiers could help
them they were in hot haste to avail themselves of
them. For instance, on Monday af iiernoon, before
election, up comes a squad of soldieits, under tbe
command of a Lieutenant, to my school-house, ac-
companied by two native whites. I gave them the
recitation-room In tbe school-house. They (tho
Whites) represented to the General that there were
a great many colored men who wanted to vote the
Democratic ticket, but their lives were threatened
in case they did. Not long after the soldiers came
the news spread over the island like wild-fire, and
the clans began to gather. On they came^
on horse-back, mnle-baok, and "foot-back,"
and wanted to know of mo " what
dis yere ting mean ?" and " how d© rebel bring
em?" Their first tUougkt was to put them off the
island. Of course I set them all right, and told
them all violence wonld only damage ourselves. In
the meantime, seeing the gathering, the Lieutenant
came up, told them when they saw the blue it w,i3
all light. One man said, "I know de blue cloths.
Sir, but dese are trioky times, and de lebs can buy
blue cloths.'" The Lieutenant smiled at tbe idea of
tricky times. Well, next morning the polls opened
at 6 o'clock— before aaylight. The whites came
■with everything cut and dried. They said to the
only sharp colored man, " We want you to be Chair-
man of fhe board, and Mr. S. here to be clerk of the
board." (There are three manazer.i, two colored
aud one white, and they choose the clerk.) "Oh, no!"
said the person addressed. "I want Miss S. to be
clerk of tbe board." All obiections were overruled
and at 6 A. M. I was sworn Clerk of the Board.
That was a decided advantage io us, as two years
ago with a niiLch smaller vote, there were sixty-iive
more votes than names on the poll list; cousa-
quently they w.ere thrown out. Well, the result at
our poll was 585 solid Republican vates and only
fcixtesn Democratic votes. Ob, but we had fun count-
iug tliem— the poor forlorn votes. The last one I
took oat of the box was a Demoorat. I held it-.up
and began to sing '"Tis the Last Rose of Summer,"
and there the soldiers stood to see their magnificent
pile of sixteen votes, and we only lacked fitteeu
of 000. During the day one fellow that the
Democrats had been trying to pernnade to
vote their ticKot, and as an argument laid
all the hard times to the Hepublican Party, as he
put his ticket in the box said: "There goes a
straight Republican ticket, it I have to eat bay tbe
next six months." Another old man hobblad along
aud as he put in his ticket said: "There goes a
;inod 'Publican ticket, and may de Lord prosper
him!" "Amen!" said I, in good Metbodistic fash-
Ion. Out doors yon could hear them say: "I tell
you news ; de ting if soioK rigbt when jouaee Miaa
S. dere/' No votes to throw out that day. We in-
sisted on them keepiuz their own count, so there
■was n(>unfairne»s tbe whole day. But the whites
were a sick crowd. They claim -the State; also
that Tilden is elected. . We have carried the
State, and. of course, I believe Hayes is
elected. You will know sll about the elcct'iou be-
fore you aet this. Wo have carried this county by
over 6,000 majority. Tho women went. to the polls
to se'ef bow thuir hnsbimda voted. Ac one place a
womiin saw her husband about to put in a Demo-
cratic vote, and she si)rang on him like a lijrer and
drazced his shirt (.ff bi^ back. The " biudd(rv " Icit
for r«pairs, and diuii't vote that day. Tho News and
Courier now complains that the women intimidated
the men. ^^^^^^

POLITICS IN FRANCE.
ELECTION OF LIFE SENATORS — THE ESTI-
MATES FOR PUBLIC WORSHIP IN THE
CHAMBER OF DKPUTIES — A SCENE OF
EXCITEMENT— LEGITIMISTS, BONAPART-
ISTS, AND REPUBLICANS.
Veesailles, Nov. 24. — ^The Senate to-day,
after several ballots, elected M. Chesnelong, Legiti-
mist, and M. Renouard, of the Left, Senators for
life.
In the Chamber of Deputies this ofternoon the
estimates for public worship were considered, and
gave rise to an excited debate. Prince Napoleon,
speaking for the first time since his election, de-
nounced the dangerous encroachments of the clergy,
who had exercised a disastrous influence in recent
French history, notably in 1870. He supported a
proposal for the redaction of the estimates for pub-
lic worship.
The Clericalist Deputies protested asalnst the
speech, ■which was couched in violent terms. M.
Keller, Leeitimist, declared that the Empire was
accountable for the loss of Alsace and Lorraine;
and recriminations ensued between the Clericalists
and Bonapartists.
M. Gamhetta, intervening, referred to the decree
abolishlne the Empire.
Tl»3 Baron de Lambert, a zeaTuus Bonapartlst,
thereupon suddenly rose and shouted : " Vive
TEmpereur !"
An Indeacribable uproar ensued. When order
had been reetored, M. De Lambert was formally
censured.
Another scene followed in consequence of M.
Gambetta referring to tho •'fanaticisms of a
Spanish woman who was made Empress."
Paris, Nov. 24.— The membei s of the party of the
Left oppose the Ministerial bill offered in the
Chamber of Deputies yesterday, providing that at
funerals of members of the Lesion of Honor mili-
tary honors shall only be rendered to military
members dying m active service. The Ripublique
Frangais publishes an aniclfe to-day condemning
the influences which surround Pregideut Mac-
Mahon, which it says tend to restrain the Cabinet's
liberty of action. _

A leading gram circular says : " The ■wheat

at our district markets, a good, consumptivo bnsi-

But, since that time there has been no eoa^

Thousands of young men have irone to Texas

States. New-Orleans was losing its oomner-

When peace came hack the jxade did not coow-
biick. It still kept in the overland route that
war had forced it to make. The constmotioa
ot railroads northerly from Texas was another
cause of the depression of hnsiuess in Now
Orleans.
So, to-day New-Orlaans is no loa^^er Hia
New-York of the Mississippi Valley, but only
the chief city of the State of Louisiana ; and
it offers no longer the splendid indueementsfor
the ambitious young men of the South which
caused it to be their mercantile Meeoa in thi^
days of slavery. The whitea emi<cr»te mow.
The increase of the whites since ISTO, it is fa«r
lieved, has been the natural increase only.
. It has been different with the blades.
Thev have immigrated in countless imuai
hers. The planters drew them from
as far east as North Carolina, to some extent
under the promise ot high wages, aUhough
most of thom went back again— unpaid.* AftOi
the Kuklux operations in Georgia, by which
the colored Republicans were practically dia<
franohised, swarms of negro laborers Irom tha
"black belt" emigrated to Mississippi and!
Louisiana. It was estimated that 20,000 o£
them settled in Mississippi. The Chairman o*
the Democratio State Committee, in speaking^
of the political future of Miuiaaippi'
with Gov. Ames, referred ominously to " th«
black cloud fi-om the East." In the Sunuaer ot^
]S75, during the campaign of assassination and;
terrorism in Mississippi, there was a ]{r«at
exodtis of negroes into Louisiana, lliat Stat*
has gained not less than 50,000 blacks.
No w, although there are no. trus1»vorthy off
cial Statistics to establish these statements, all
well-informed Lcuisiana men attest them. Ih^'
are facts universally admitted. They show
that the disproportion between tho Bepubii*
can and Democratio voters has largely in-
creased sinoe 1870, and in favor of the B^ub-
lican Party.
But I shall waive the increase sinoe 1870, as
I cannot demanstrate it by official reoords, and
confine myself to tbe votes since 1868 and ;to thr
census of 1870.

There are and there have always been at least
5,000 white Republicans in Louisiana. Mr. Mc-
Millan, (Greeley independent,) in his contest
for a seat in the United States Senate was
forced to admit the truth of this statement,
although he tried to destroy its political valua
by the unsupported theory that the Democrati«
negroes offset tho native white Sepnblioai

Three of these returns are entitled to no
reepeet, beoanae one of them was not bonsstiy
made, and two of thorn were the result of
^terrorism.
The Qubemationai election of 1868, in April,
was an honest one. llie Presidential vote of
1868 was a Democratic victory won by mas-
aacrea. The vote for Auditor in 1870 was a
ildr one. The returns of 1872 were mere guesses,
to counteract the " Warmoth swindle " —
BStimatea which the Republican Congress did
not permit to be counted m the election of tho
President. The election of 1874, like the Presi-
dential vqte of 1868, was inilaenoed by ter-
rorism.
It will be seen, therefore, that the lowest
EepahBcftB ^%joritT, at a fair election in
Louisiana, has h&ea. 24,518. The fairness of the
April, 1868. and of the 1870 election Has never
baeti dupaied by either -party.
With saoh a record, and on anch a race basis,
Kod considering the large inflax of negroes, it
ts demandmg rather too much of Northern
crednlity to ask us to believe that the most
murderous Thags on this earth — the shot-giin
Democracy of Louisiana — have carried the
State for Tilden, (and reform ;) that thousands
of black meb. of their own accord, unthreat-
aned, unrestrained, have voted against the
p^ty wlueti liberated and enfranchised them,
.In order tp oat their eoslavers and the foes of
choir citixenhood in power.

Now, no Democrat in the South ever pre-
tended to say, (until it became necessary to Ue
in order to account for thesurprisiagmt^orities
won by the abat-giin policy.) thhi more than
one negro in a hundred, ac the outside estimate,
ever voluntarilv voted the Democratic ticket.
The black South is a solid Saath for the Repub-
lican Party. The color of the negro's
skin 18 not more fixed than the tena-
eity of his potrtics. Indeed, this fact ts
otten stated by Democrats who " deprecate"
the shot-gua policy as an apology for it, or as
an exteiiu.*tins circumstance. They say they
argued and pleaded and coaxed the blacks, but,
wrnle the n6<aoes trusted the whites La busi-
ness, with money, in everything else, they
never could ooftnde (n them in politics. Time
asd again this statement has been made to me
by Democrats in MisaiasippL They said that
toeir unly nope of overthrowing the Bepnbli-
can Party — they called it "saving the btate" — •
waa by a reaorc to iniimidatiau ana even vio-
leaee, because the negroes would not "consult
tiietr own best interests," bnt would be gov-
erned by the advice ot Northern men and
colored leaders, mstead of " our people,
Kr, among wQum they have been raised!"

Let us recall one or two ot these iaws as they
tppear ba the statute-books of Louisiana. It
will intereac Kepiiblicans to road, what was
said of these enactments by the Vice President
ilect, Mr. Wheeler, 1 copy trow the famous
>epoit sigaed by Wheeler, ttoar, and Frye :
Vlll.
After the war oloaed, the whites ot Louisiana
#ev«,permitted to elect a LegiBlature, which
■at during th* years 1865, tS66, and
Tbey ea»ot«d a series of li^ws whioh musjt hjftve
been daalgped to restcre the negro to a ataCa of
BcaatisAl MTTitnda.' ftB«Ai»t^f^i]jBg5. elwtvtier
10, provides that, under penalty ot fine or im-
prisonment, no person shall carry flre-arijia on
to the premises or plantation of any mtizen
without the consent of the owner, thus depriv •
ing the great mass of the colored laborers of
the State of the right to keep and bear arms,
aalways jealously prized and guarded by their
white employers.
Statute ot 1865, chapter 11, punishes by fine
and imprisonment tho entering upon any plan-
tation witnout the permission of the owner,
tliua preventing any person from seeking any
intercourse with the negro for the purpose of
giving political or other information, except
such as his masrter should approve.
Statute ot 1865, bhaper 12. authorizes any
Justice of the Peace, on a complaint that any
person ia a vagrant, on summary process to
require such parson to give bond for hia good
behavior and future industry for the period of
one year. On failing to give such bond, the
Justice shall issue hia warrant to the Sheriff to
hii-d out suoh person for the terra of twelve
months, under such regulations as may be made
Ify the municipal authorities; "provided, that
if the accused he a person tiiat has abandoned
his employer before his contract expired, the
preierence shall be given to such employer of
hiring the acousea," thus putting it in the
power ot the local Magistrato, on summary
process, to remand the laborer to a condition ot
practical slavery.
Statute of 1865, chapter 16, enacts that any
ono who shall persuade or entice away, feed,
harbor, orsearoiSe any person who leaves Jlis em-
ployer -^ ithout permission, shall be subject to
a fine of not more than fiv^ hundred dollars, or
imprisonment of not more than twelve months,
or both. Thus no laborer could leave his em-
ployer without ponnission without becoming
an outcast, to whom food and shelter must bo
denied by all mankind.
Statute of 1868, chapter 20, enforces fine and
imprisonment on any person who employs any
laborer already under contract to another.
Statutes ot 1867 authorized the imposition of
a poll tax for highway purposes, of $15. Under
this law it would be possible to raiss the sum
01 82,612,000 ia a sing le year, which should be
di Tided per capita among tiie males over twen-
tp-one, rich and poor paying the same sum,
Theae laws perished with the Government
which enacted thom, in 1867.
Theae laws were repealed by act of Congress,
but the solored Republicans have not forgot-
ten them.
IX
But the whites, led by the same men who
drove tho State into rebellion, did not stop
w'lth legislanvB attempts to defeat the fiat of
the nation declaring slavery to be abolished.
The briefest statement of their blood-red
record ever given is bad enough — it is a sort of
Liebeg'^s essence of a thousand murders. I
quote a singie passage from a speech by Hon.
J. R. West, Senator from Louisisina, delivered
in the Saiiate of the United States, in February,
1875:
"latimidatlon In the State of Louisiana and
throughout the South did not cumiueuce with the
election of 1874. Tbu echoes of the last iran llred
at AnpoBiattox had 80;krcbly died upon the ear bt>ture
thia iatimielatioa was nracciced broadcaat through-
out the South, aud it bus cuutiuued to oo up to the
present day. I speak fir my State. 1 show to tho
Senate that throaghoac its eTistence siuce the day
of rocoBstracuoa there baa beeu nolhiaK but i£-
timiJatioD, proscription, murder, aud violence
practiced Oy the Democrats of that State.
• From, 1866 to the present time there h we been nine
great butcheries or iiMssacres for political reasons in
the ataXe of houiiiana. Iu 1606 iu A'eflr-Oilottns 2U'J
pcrsous were killed, and 160 were tiikeu to the JVla-
riue Hospital, and the sorgeon on duty at that time
aud the surgeon now on duty — the same man — has
asserted the fact that attsr those wounded men
were tateu to liiat hospital, the rioters f.>raed a
liae in its rear and flisd a TuUuy into its chambers.
Here is one cl tha volnmes of the history of affairs
in Louisiana. The history of violence in Ebuisiana
is not to be learned in ei^hl days. It lies here un-
der iny hand m eight Toluuies of tescimooy, every
page telling of a lire given, and every word of every
pase counttag for a d*op of blood sked in the sac-
rifice of nohtical opinions. What did ths commit-
tee then say } I will read bnefly their •pinion of
that horror :
' There has been no occasion, during our national
history, wher* a riot has occarred so desntute of
Jastitiabie cause, reftolting in a massacre so inhu.
roan and fiendish, as that which took place at Kew-
Orleans on the 3Dih ot July last. * * * The mas-
saore was begad and finished in midday, aud such
proofs of preparations w(ire disclosed that we are
constrained to say that an iatsntion, sxlsting some-
wbcre, to disperse and slaughter the members of
the coiiventton and those iiersona, white and black,
who were present and w«re trienaly to its purposes,
was mercilessly carried into effect.
' The Polite were aciiug on the side of the riot,
ers,' says the "Wbeeier report, 'and 260 parsons
were killed.'
Ko loiimidation in Louisiana! And yet in tho
same year the Bossier massacre took place, in which
over three hunur<id were killed ana woniided; the
St. Landry massacre, la which 200 were killed and
wounded ; the Orleans m.-issacres, in which sixty-
three were killed and wounded; the Caddo mas-
sacre, in which furty-six were killed and woanded;
the J efiertion massacre, in which sixty-ei;;ht were
killed and wounded. A'l theae occurred In that oue
year, 1863."
It is said by the defenders of the White
Line Democracy of Louisiana, that these out-
rages ceased in 1866. Even if this statement
were true — and it is as false as any lie in his-
tory— we should not forget, in inquiring
whether it is probable that thousands of ne-
groes voluntarily voted the Demooratio ticket
on the 7th ot .November, that tho memories and
the eft'acts ot these massacres have liot been
obliterated from tho minda ol the blacks. L^'t
US see what Vice President Wheeler, m Febru-
ary, 1876, reported ot the history ot Louisiana
since IStiO :
"Th© testimony shows that over 2,000 persons
were killed, wounded, or otherwise iuiaredlu that
Sen te Within a tew weeks prior to the Presidential
election ; mat halt the State was overran with vio-
lence; midnisht raids, secret murders, and open
riot kept the people in uouatiint terror until the
Republicans surreudered all claim, and men the
Scale was carried by the i^emociacy. The Parish
ot Orleans contaiued 29,910 viiters, 15,020 black.
In the Spring ot 1368 that pari-'sh gave 13,973 Riipub-
llcan votes. In tiie Fall ot 1868 it guve (iiant 1.178,
a falling off of 12,79j votes, lliois prevailed tor
weeks, awteping the Uity oi New-Oiiear.s, and fill-
ing it with scenes of blood, and Kuklux rioters
were scattered through tho city warning tho col-
ored men not to vote. In Caddo there were 2,987
Reijublicaus. Iti the Sprln;; of It^GS they carried
the parish. In the Fall taov gave GranD one vote.
Here also were bloodv riots,"
In tliis pariah this year there was intimida-
tion at only a few precincts, and the result is
that It has given Hayes nearly 1,500 majority,
TWo years ago, as in 18t)8, the White League
virtually swept this Republican majority outof
existence.,
XI.
But the' most remarkable case is that of St.
Landrv, a piantiug parish pn the Itiver Teciie.
Here the Kepublicaus had' a registered major-
ity of 1,071 votes. In the Spring ot 186S, tucy
carried tho parisii by 678, In the Pall tbey
gave Grant no vote — not one, while the Demo-
crats cast 4,787, the full vote of the parish, for
Seymour aud Blair, Hero occurred one of the
bloediest riots on record, iu wliioh tho
Kuklux killed and wounded over two
hundred Kepublieana, hunting and chas-
iug them lor two days and nights
thcough fields and swamps. Thirteen
captives wore takeu from the jail and shot. A
pile of twenty-five dead bodies were found half
buried lU the woods, Haviug conquered tho
Republicans, killed and driveu olt tho white
leaders, the Kuklux captured tho masses,
marked them with badges of red llanuel, en-
rolled them iu clubs, led them to tho polls,
made them vote the Demooratio ticket, aud
then gave tbem certificates of the fact.
Iu the year 1873 occurred the transaction
known as the Coltax massacre, to which the
committee directed soeeial atteutiou, * * *
It seems to us there is uo doubt of the truth
of the toliowing narrative :
" In March, la73, Nash aud Cauabart claimed to
be juuge aud tiheriil'ol' Oraut Parith under coin-
missious from Gov. Warmoth, .Afi.er Gov, Kel-
logg succeeded Warmoth, Ihidr friends apuUed to

colored peopls returned to their homes, the others

thirtT minutes were given them to reme>)re"-j|{i«ir
women and ohildren. The negroes took refuge be-
hiud their eartbiforic, from which they wsre driven
by the enfilading fire from a cannon which the
Whites had. Part of them fiod fur refuge to the
Court-house, which was a one-story brick building,
which had formerly been'a stable. The rest, leaving
their srins, fled down the river to a strip, of woods,
where they were nnrsned and man.v of them over-
taken and shot to death
About sixty or seventy got Into the court-honse
After some inelF.ictual firing on each side, the roof
of the buUdih'i was set fire to. "When the roof was
Dnrning over their heads, the negroes held out th^ ._
sleeve of a shirt aud the leaf of a book as flags of '
truce. They w^re ordered to drop their arms. A
number of them rushed out, unarmed, from the
blazing hiiilding, wef e met by % volley, and a number
killed and woandod ; others were captured. Fifteen
of the blacks crept under the floor ot the burning
building, but wore all captured. The number takeu
prisoners was about thircy.seven. Thoy were kept
till dark, when they were led out two by two, each
two with a rank of moanted whites behind them,
being told chat they were to be taken a e>hort dis-
tance and set at liberty. When the ranks had been
f jrmed, the word was givenj and the negroes were
all shot. A few who were wounded, but not mor-
tally, escaped by feigning death.
The bodies reinaiued nnburied till next Tues-
day, (when tbey were buried by a Deputy Marshal
from New-Orleans.
Fifty-nine dead bodies were found. They showed
pistol-shot wounds, the great m^ority of them lu
the head, and inost of them in the back of the head.
* * * * * *
This deed was without valuation or justification ;
It was deliberate, barbaroas, cold-blooded murder.
It tnost stand like the massacres of cilenooe and of
St, Bartholomew, afoul blot on the pages ofhintory."
This is true, but it is also true that this mas-
sacre did not begin to parallel, in cowardly and
fiendish atrocity, the massacre of New-Orleans,
referred to by Senator West, in which 260 men
were slaughtered in cold bluod,
XII,
" Spread over all these vears are a largo number of
murders and other acts of violence done for polit:cal
ends. In reply to an i,nquiry by the comoaittee.
Gen, Sheridan, who is gathing careful statistics of
the nnmber of persons killed and wounded in
Louisiana up to Feb. 8, 1875, since 1366, on account
ot their political opinions, reports the number so far
ascertained as follows :
is-illed 2,141
Wounded 2, 115
Total .4,2.50
Much evidence was taken by the committee
from personsin both political parties in regard to this
matter. * * * The statements on both siiles left
it beyond dispute that murders were events of the
most ordinary ocsurrence, so as hardly to make an
imuression on the memory of inteUigent luen in
whoas neighborhood they occurred ; and this not
only m cities, but in rural communities ; that there
existed throughoht a great parn of the State an in-
tense degree of political heat and hatred ; that, as a
rule, homicide, murder, and assault with intent to
kill, went without legal punishment ; that the
white men generally went armed. TJiider all the
circumstances, wd do not doubt the- substantial
truth of Gen. Sheridan's statement."
These extracts give only a faint picture of the
persecution of the loyalists of LouisiaiMk. since
the close of the war. The annals of the dark
aces present no cruelties ihore horrible than the
Republicans, whites and blacks, ot Louisiana
have suffered for opinions' sake,
# XIII.
I recall these memories to show the satanic
insiucerity of the pretext, so vauntingly tele-
graphed fVom New-Orleans by the banditti, that
thousauds of negroes ievery where have volunta-
rily voted the Democratic ticket in Louisiana ;
t-o indicate that, uutil human nature i.s trans-
iormed, it is iuconeeivable that our over-
whelmingly letritimate majority in that State
can be constitatiouiilly overcome as long as
tho White Liue loaders are, as now, the can-
didates and managers of the Democratic
Party ; and to poinc out by historical and
logical inference how ighorantly cruel and ab-
surd is the assumption of judicial impartiality
contained in the declaration that " the question
is not which political organization is right, but
which ot them is the least in the wrong." It
will bo time enough to make that statement
when it can be shown that the black or white
Republicans of Louisiana have been gfiilty ot
even one of the murders and massacres that
have been proved against the Democratic ban-
ditti. J, K,
EVACUATION DAY.
ANNIVEBSAKY OF THE DEPARTHRE OF THE
BRITISH TBOOPS — THK VK'TKRANS OF
1812 TO CELEBRATE THE OCCASION.
To-day is the ninety-third anniversary of the
day on which the British troops left this City, after
having b'sld It without dispute for seven years, two
months, and ten days — or, from Sept. 15, 1776,
till Nov. 25, 1783. During that long
period,the cause of the patriots had few friends
in New-York, excepting the poor fellows
who bad been captured b.y the British and were
crowded in tho loathsome pens of the Old Sugar-
house on Liberty street,' the North Dutch Church,
on William street, or tho Middle Dutch Church
which still stands, and was until recently used as
the Post Office, In those orisons patriots were
frozen to death in Winter, or stified m the Sum-
mer, and the terrible records of mortality within
them still remain as a sorrowful nroof of
the harshness of the British iailors. The
few sympathizers with irhe patriots who
remained in this City during the war
could do nothinfr in aid of the canse they loved, or
the men who suffered for supporting it; and it is a
strange fact that in the latest years of the Kovolu-
tion, the spy — liiyington, editor of the ITew-Tork
(jazette— from whom Washington procuiod most of
bis information concerning the operations of the
British, was a man who in his newspaper published
the vilest attacks upon the patriots. The
Americana who hoped for the success of
Washington had thus a sorrowful time
while the British were in New-York,
and the news of the conclusion ot a treaty of peace
was hailed with gladness. But when, on Novem-
ber 25, 1783, Washington, at the head of the troops,
entered New- York, the enthusiasm of the patriots
here passed all, bounds. Early in the morning the
American troops advanced to tho outskirts of the
City, but did not make an entry, as the British still
retained their posts. At 1 o'clock in tho after-
noon Sir Guv Carleton, the British confmander,
went on board one of the war vessels in the harbor,
and the British fleet bade farewell to New-York.
Washington was apprised ol tho departure of Carle-
ton as soon as it occurred. He immedlalvly ad-
vanced Into the City at the head cf some United
States troops that had been kept in service after tho
Army generaliy had been dismissed on Oct. 18,
1783, a Westchester County regiment ot
cavalrv, and Col. Lamb's regiment of
New- York State artillery. Tht-ee troops
were coramsnded respectively by Gen. Knox and
Gov. Geirgo Clinton. It was particularly pleas-
ant for Gen. Knox to be among the tirst to enter
New-York in triumph. He was the last oflioer to
leave the Citv ac the time of the shameful retreat
seven years before. The Americans marched ran-
i'ity down to Fort George at the Battery, where
they tonnd the Brinish fl.ag flying. It was nailed to
a "high staff, and in onler that it might
remain until they were out of sight
the British had knocked ott' the cleats and greased
the pole. Thfic design, however, was defeated, A
smart Yankee sailor, having first covered his
clothing with ashes, after several trials reached the
top of the mast and tors away the flag. He then
rigged halliards, and as tho British fleets were going
out of pi .;nt the Stars and Stripes were pulled uo
and saluted with thirteen guus fired from a six-
pounder iu Fort George.
Evacuation Diiy used to be celebrated with a great
denl of pomp, but in recent years tho Veterans of
1813 have been the on/y ones to do it honor. This
morning, at saurise, their AOjutftit, J. G. Warner,
will raise the Stars and Stripes over the old fort in
Central Park, In the afnTnoon the Veteraus will
meet at Military Hall, in tho Bowery, from where
they will march to th« Sturtcvant House to dine.-

CITY WAS PLUNDERED— THE TEBCEN-

FLEMISH PEOPLK AT THE THEATBB AND
IN THB CHURCH.
A correspondent of the London Telegraph
writes from Antwerp, under date of Nov, 5, as foK
lows: " Throe hundred years ago the Spaniards,
nnder Sanoho de Alvila, Romero, Vargas, and other
gentle soldiers of that fraternity, broke Into the
streets of Antwero, and, after a short struggle,
massacred many thousands of its inhabitants and
robbed the city of several millions of pounds. They
did It, as was tho wont in those good old days, in
the name of religion ; they were anxieus, so they
said, that the people of Antwerp should remain
steadfast sons of the Churoh, aud not eanse schism
and heresy m a body which only wished their hap-
piness and good. So they eut every woman's and
child's throat, speared or shot every father, and
took away every dollar that they could" dis-
cover. Their deeds of blood and plunder as-
tonished the world, as well they might, and
have been a theme for historians in every civilized
tongue. The massacre had less excuse than any
other notable deed of blood upon record. The peo-
ple of Antwerp could not be called turbulent ; they
were certainly not disloyal, stdl less were they Ir-
religious. Ghampigny,; thair Governor, w-as a
sincere Catholic, and if he disliked the Spaniards
it was because of the cruelties they had already
practised at Maestricht and elsewhere. Whon De
Alvila's troops appeared under tho city walls, it
was not with a fiery resistance, bnt with a friendly
parley that they were met; there was nothing fo
exasperate them; the burghers were were peace-
ably and peacefally inclined. But, unhappily for
themselves and tho honor cf humanity, they were
rich, and upoa their stores of gold and jewels the
greedy Spaniards had long set their kffoction*. For
this alone they were murdered in cold blood, what-
over else may have been the reason which tne lead-
ers afterward offered to the King who employed
them. From the first thair onset promised no mer-
cy, 'Santiago! Espaiia! 6, sangre, iicarBe, il f uego,
a sacco!' (St. Jamt>s! Spain 1 blood, flesh, flre,
sack !) Motley tells us, woro the cries with which
the Spaniards burst uuou the terrified inhabitants
of the devoted city. Crashing through the thin
hues which tho burghers fjrmed across the
streets, these inbuntao monsters put all to
fire and sword. Fathers, mothers, aad children
were alike butchered on that fearful day.
Houses were burned by hundreds, the streets ran
blood, while' De Alvila's troops mardered and
plundered. In vain the AVailoons and Germans,
soldiers who stood faithful to ths defe)U8*of the
place, did their best to hold even a part of the city
against the rnffiauB who were bent upoa its' do-
siructiou. They wi re shot down and sabred with-
out quarter, till at ieugth their leeble resistance —
they only sucueedou in killing some two hundred of
their assaiiants — being cverboruo, they hid to flee
or die. Night at length closed ia, and'then began a
scene of torture ana cruelly, compared with which
evsu the boirorsof ihe day faded into insignificance.
The terrified multitudes who had fallen into tho
hands of tne conquerors were seized and maltreated
with a lury such as was never remembered before,
and das never been heaid of siuce. Infants
wpre dashed to pieces iu the proswnee of their
iSothors, lathers killed before their chiidreb, and
women were scourged to death, the husbands being
compelled to look on. Every cruelty which human
la Slice coalfl invent was practiced in order tbat the
treasures which tho city possessed should be re-
vealed and given up. The Spaniards knew that
Antwerp was rich; they had determined to have
the last farthing of its wealth, and to gain it they
spared neither sex nor age, Tuvi city was in the pos-
seseion of thousauds of demons, who exhausted all
the wiokednsss and ingenuity of perdition to gain
their horrible purpoav, Pluudsr was ihtir sole aim,
aud for it they threw away all guise ot humanity,
au4 bent thtmsalves simply to work all manner of
cruelty. A story is told of a bride who, tor the
sake of her jewels, was stripped naked, aud then
beaten with rods tiii she was bathed in blood;
anotoer of a girl who was hanged Several
limes, aud cut aown jis often wueu at the
point of death because she would nut re-
veal where treasure was. concealed. Horrors
like these were being perpetrated in evory
siroet, aad in nearly every house, under the
guitfance or with thB express permission of the
•Spanish leaders. Next morning the sun rose upon
such aMdoeue cf ruin and 'devastation as had never
botore beeu witnessed. To quote the words which
tho Estates ot Brabant used in their appeal to the
States-Genoral, the city was 'a gloomy cavern,
filled with robbers and murderers, euomlos of God,
the King, and all hqikX subjects.'
Such was the event which the burghers of to-day
wer.fi called upon to commemorace, and some of
them answered at once to the appeal. It was in-
deed resoivod tbat a procession should be in/hngu-
rated, and that generally Antwerp should do honor
to the men who, 30U years age, dlsd iu her defense.
The story was sufficiently thrilling to warrant any
amount of notice, and It was fairly to be supposed
thai Anrwerp would have turned but to its
last citizen. But those who expected thai
did not nndsrstaud tke inhabitants of this
ancient town. Are there not some among
us at home who See no reason wh.y gunpowder
trea.^on should be remembered at ait who would
do away with hot cross buna and mistlsloe, and
hold even pancakes on Shrove Tuesday in light, ei-
tbem ? The City Fathers of Antwerp were by no
means united in their reverence for Champigny and
his brave followers; they did not care a dump
about what bad occurred 300 years back, declared it
would be siirring up strife to have a procession,
and so resolutely opposed the idea of such a thing
that the whole ucheme fsti thrujiifh at oucn and foi-
ever. Yet it must not be supposed that the honest
Dutchmen who form the population ot this so-called
Belgian city so lightly remembered the gallant
deeus of their forefathers. If th^' coulu not have
alfict), tbsy could drupe their places of worship
in the deepest black J ii a propesaiou was refused
them, they could flock to high ifla;)8 in tbousaniis;
and if they could not drink to tbo memory of the
departed, they could at least pray lor thsir souls — a
holy and comforting thought, which resulted in the
closing ot shops and the crowding of ail ths hand-
some churches which Antweip so worthily boasts.
As ]f it were wrong to be uuchaiitabie to tho
dead, these worthy Flemings united in the
prayers, Spaniard. Walbjon,. and German alike,
so that there should be no unequal distinctiou
iu the w^orld where nationalities are unknown.
They flocked in from all the country round,
clad in all the curious coslumes of the Flemish
villages to wliieh they belougBd ; clanking along iu
huge wooden snoes, wearing tho strange headgear
they so dearly love, with great baskets on toeir
arms and cudgels iu their bauds, bent upon mak-
ing a day of it, whatever might betide. They
crammed the churches, the cafeii, aud wine sbopb.
'Thev roamed iu the park and looked at the statue
of Liberty which stands iu the centre of the fjur
cross-roads,' and iheu wandered back to thoir na-
tional theatre, where a grand historical portorm-
auce was announced for the evening. It is need-,
leas lo say that for days past ercry seat had been
engaged, that scarcely a square inch ot
room was left from which lue proceedings
might be viewed, and that hundreds were
tui'uod from the doors. Under these circumstances
it was scarcely likely tbat the miiuager would be
anxious to accommodato strangers, irerhaps they
regarded a foreigner in the light of a Spauiaid, who
could have neither part nor lot in the matter, and
certainly had no claim to civility. Be this as it
may, the only placs from which the stage was to be
seen was from a coraer of the tallery, aud that tho
very worst of ad. Yet the scene was well worthy a
glaace, to witness the greatseaof broad Flemtah f.ices
upturned toward the proscenium, aud tiits un-
gainly performers on the boards shouting out
their harsh Dutch, ard making wdd gyrations ex-
pressivo uf anger and fear. I was lulci that the play
was touDiled upon au incident whicn was believed
to have reaiiy occurred, that all the poraons repre.
senied had actually liveil, and that the romance was
onlv Uss strange than the truth itself. But what
that story was I shall iiover know.' There was a
young fiiil who wept anu au old uauwho scowled.
There were three persona in htlmots who were
called Spanish soldiers, who raved aud stormed, but
seemed to me to have some difliculty in dealing with
their oarts. There were burjjners who, if tue ap-
pliiuso they rsceived told au.vlhing, were full of
patriotic Bayiugs; aud there were suluiors whose
determination to die then aud there was both re-
freshing aud laudable. Bnt lo me, all uuused to
the beaaties of the Flemish ton;:ue, the piece was a
terrible muddle. I Have no douot ihat tnere was a
satisfactory u6uouemoBt — that the young girl es-
caped, that the Spaniaras wcra defeated, that the
loyal barghers were saved, and that the
brave soldiers fought to tho bitter end.
Yet I cannot s.iy; lor, juat when I ^bought
ttial light was dawuing in upon me. I louoa ihe
wbol'i iiLwt unC3 mure hecloudcd, aud tne situation
more ''mixed" than ever. TUay seemed to kill
eaoc other too often ; there were too many knnttj
points to unravel. X cuuld uiakb uoti'ii't; oi it. All
that I knew was that the buraners vf this town

THE BILLIARD TOURNAMENT.
POOR PLATING YBSTEBDAY— SLOOSON, GAR-
NIER, AND 6HAEFTER DEFEAT DALT,
KUDOLPHE, AND CTRILLE DION RE-
SPECTIVELY— to-day's games.
The eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth games
of the National Billiard Tournament were played
yesterday afternoon and evening at Tammany Hall,
and they were, as far as brilliancy of play is con-
cerned, no better than those of tbe previoui day.
In fact, it has become a' matter ot general
comment that the play of the con-
testants in this tournament is far
below tho average, hut in this connection it innst
be remembered that the size of the balls Is very
(rreatly reduced, for Instead of playing with 238
inch balls as they have heretoford done, the players
are using 2 5-16 balls. As all billiardisU know,
this makes a very great difierence in the execution
of shots, and they can, therefore .readily under-
stand why It is that the play is compara-
tively poor. The first game yesterday was be-
tween Maurice Daly and George F. Slosson, neither
of whom seemed, to be possessed ot any con-fid ence
whatever. The game was called at 3:18 o'clock,
Mr. Nell Bryant acting as referee. Daly won the
lead, and for thirteen innings the highest runs
scored were 14 and 16, the former by Slos-
son and the latter by his opponent. At
this point the- game stood, Slosson, 64;
Daly 59. The bads had throughout scattered
badly for both contestants, and although they got
good position several times neither of tbem seemed
able lo hold it for any length of lime, . Daly's high-
est run was 42. made in the twenty-seventh inning,
while his opponent scored two neat runs of 50 each
in tbe rbiitieth and thirty-fourth innings. Follow-
ing is the score:
Stossos-l, 1, 1, 5, 14,1,2,3.10,12,4.0,10.32,

GAKNIER VS. EUDOLPHB,
The first game of the evening was between Al-
bert Gamier and A. P. Sodolphe. Garflier was not
in good pTay, and bis opponent during the early
part of the came played many fancy shots,
wbich he tailed to count. The gams was
called at 8;16 o'clock. Gamier having the
lead. From the opening. till the thirty-sixth in-
ning the plav was only of an ordinary character,
although some very pretty runs had been scored on
each side. At that timo Gamier began playing very
brilliant billiards, and, although he worked hard
for position, he could not get the balls. He added
to his score, however, a run of 96, one of the besv
runs made during the tournament. He closed the
game in the fortieth inning, his opponent having
scored 216. Following is the score:

The contestants In the second game of the even-
ing were Jacob Shaefier and Cjrrille Dion, and with
the single exception of one run of 137, made by
Shaefier in tbe twenty-seventh inning, the game
was a very poor one throughout. In that inning,
Shaefier, who had thus far on); distinguished himself
oy misting apparently easy shots, got the balls
together in the upper left-hand corner, and by judi-
ciously nursing tbem around the top and side rails
ot the'table added to his score the above number ot
points. He closed the game in the ttirly-sixth in-
ning, his opponent having made only 199. Ap-

known In theatrical circles, both in thia City and
Brooklyn, died at his late residence, U"o,
148 vVest Twenty-fifth street, yesterday
aioming, m the flfty-second year of his age.
The immediate cause of his death was an inflam-
mation of the bronchial tubes, termed by some
paralysis of the throat. He was first seized with
this disease during the middle of last August,
at which timo he was engaged in the
plav of " Brass " at the Park Theatre.
Since that time he snfftfred intense pain at inter-
vals, although the nature of tbe malady was such as
not to confine him to his bed continuously.
Through its action, however, he was unable
to partake of the proper food, and - was
literally starved to death. He continued to play
his part in "BMiSS," and subsequently in the play
of "Clouds,''^ al^the same theatre, umil its with-
drawal from the stage, Mr, Brutone was born in
Fci^land, but when qui'e young emigrated to Aun-
traila, where he commenced the life of an ac-
tor, and where he met bis wife. Miss Julia
Court, to whom he was manied in 1857, He came
to this country in 1809, and commenced his tirst
engagement at the Grand Opera-house during the
late James Fisk's' management. From thence he
wont to Mrs. F. B. Conway's theatre in
Brooklyn, whore he fulfilled an engagement, and
subsequently came to Now-York two years suo.
and assumed a character in the play ot "Honry V."
at Booth's Theatre. From here he went to the
Park Theatre, and made bis final appearance on
the stage with the termination of the
plav of ••Clouds." His specialty lay in
character acting. As an "old man," he
bad few equals, and bo played miscellaneous parts
with considerable ability. He was a believer in
tho Swedenborgian faith, and received the minis-
trations ot Kcv. Chauncev Giles, tho only minister
of Ihat deiiomiuation of religion in this City.

Campbell, of the Department of Public Works, in-
forming him that a gang of workmen were engaged
in tearing up tho pavement on Fourteenth streof,
aud requesting him to seud olhcers to Union

telegraphed to Capt. Byrnes, of the Fifteenth

LOCAL MISCELLANY.
PARK COMMISSIONERS ON TRIAL.
THE CASE BKITOBB THE MAYOR— THEIB RE-
PLY TO THE CHAKGES MADE AGAIXST
THEM—THE INQUIRY ADJOURNED.
Mayor Wickham yesterday commenced an
lovestigstion of the charges preferred against Park
Commissioners Martin and O'Donohne on tne pre-
vloasdsy. Messrs, Kiub C. Hawkins, Jackson S,
tschnltz, and tbe other responsible gentlemen wh»
made the accusations were In attendance for tbe pur-
pose of substaniiaiting them, Tbey charged the Com-
mistioners with having removed experienced clerks
who had been for many years in the service of the
Park Department without giving them an opportu-
nity to show cause why they should not be re-
tained, as required by the charter, and also with
paying an excessive rate of wages to laborers—
a rate much higher than thatpaii by other branches
of the City Government, The accused Commission-
ers were present. Mayor Wickham hsring announced
that be was readv to proceed, Mr. Martin handed
to him the following reply to the charges, in behalf
ot himself and his colleague :
" In accordance with your communlcation,dBted !Tot.
23, 1876, inclosing a copy of charges against us,
datPd Sept. 23. 187(3, El?ned by Enah C. Hawkinsjintt
others, citizens, and reqnestiug our reply thereto in
wnting, we respectfully say :
IXrst—Th&t we. with the concurrent vote in some
easiB of one and in other cas^s of both of onr associate
Commissioner', caused to be discharged the persons,
and at the dates mentioned in said charges, and that
said persons were so discharged for good and sufficient
cause. In due form, lu due performance of our dutv as
Commissiouers and without violating any statute or
rule of law.
Second— Th3kt our action in regard to the laborers em-
ployed by the department, end in refusing t< reduoe
the rate of wages pat'J to tbem. 'vras'jast and proper,
and that It was not a disregard or violation of our City
ordinance or chatter in any of the respects m which
it has been so charged against us.
Third — That we are ready to support this answer by
proofs and arguments at such times and ia such man-
ner as you may direct."
Mayor Wickham said that the Commissioners in
their answer admitted that they had removed the
clei^s referred to in the charges, bnt they claimed
that they bad authority for doing so. They also
admitted that they had paid the high rate of wages
to laborers which was also made a subject of com-
plaint, but in that matter they pleaded jusMfica-
tion. Ho desired to know if tbe deputation in-
tended to present any further facts.
Col. Hawkins replied that he would require time
to furnish evidence in support of the charges. He
proposed to examine the clerks who were dis-
charged, in order to prove that they had not been
iurnl'^hed with ah opportunity to show that they
slionld not be discharged. That was their right.
Mayor Wickham said he had no authority to de-
cide the legal question involved in an issue like
that, and If the deputation would submit their
points he would refer them to the Corporation
Counsel.
Col. Hawkins replied that, in his opin-
ion, the Mayor could pass on all the questions pre-
sented in the charges. He believed that the charter
conferred upon tbe Mayor the power to adjudge of
law and fact so far as tbe complaints were concerned.
Mayor Wickham . remarked that he was unable
to see what standing tbe deputatioa was etititled
to as complainants. The persons who were re-
moved from the Park Departm^jnt appeared t» be
the only ones that had suft'ered, and if they felt
wronged or aggrieved, why did 'they not make a
complaint !
CoL Hawkins replied that the removal of the
clerks constituted a gross violation of the charter-
one that was wholly unjustifiable, and any body of
citizens was warrtinted iu presenting thsin to the
notice of tbe Mayor, It was a violation of tbe
charter tbat actually constituted a mi&demeanor.
As to tbe charges in relation to tbe excessive
wages paid to laborers by Messrs. Martin and
O'Donohne, tbat was certainly a matter which
deeply concerned the oppressed and heavily-bur-
dened tax-payers. Tbe tax-payers had a right to
complain when they found ofilclals paying a rate
for common labor that was twice as large as tbat
far which it could be obtained in the mar-
set, and about twice as high as tbat
which labor commanded in other departments.
The Mayor had taken part In the movement wbich
had resulted in curtailing the wages of laborers
down to reasonable rates. He knew that there wjks
no law regulating the rates for wages, bnt when ex-
cessive wages were paid by a branch of the City
Government, these in charge of such a department
were delinquent officials, and should be removed.
It was well known that thousands of men could be
had at $1 a day, and yet the accused Commissioners
paid double that sum.
Mr. Dorman B. Fatoa next spoke in support of
tbe charges. He said that tbey were sufficient to
warrant the removal of the Commissioners. Tbey
had discharged attach6s ot their department with-
out conforming to tne charter, and tbey had also
paid excessive rates for labor, thus wasting the
public moneys.
At tbis point the investigation waa adjourned
uuiil next Friday. In the meantime, GoL Hawkins
and the gemlenien associated with him will fur-
nish the Mayor with affidavits in support of the
charges, and Messrs. Martin and O'Donohne will
have an opportunity to present affidavits or state-
ments in reply.
METRODIST MISSIONARY WORK
ADDRESS OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE —
THE APPEAL TO THE CHURCH FOR AS-
SISTANCE.
The General Missionary Committee of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, which closed its an-
nnal sessiou on Tuesday last, after a week spent in
consideration of the missionary work, and in pro-
viding ways and means for carrying it on, appointed
a committee to prepare an address, to be signed by
all the members of the committee, consisting of all
the Bishops, the executive officers of the Missionary
- Society, and eleven representatives of missiuu dis-
tricts, and twelve representatives of the Board of
Managers, setting forth theneeds of the society and
the reasons which had seemed to compel them to
make such large reductions in the appropriations
for the coming year. The committee, in their ad-
dress, state that In 1874 the debt amounted to
$121,815 32. In 1875 it increased to $185,562 84, and
iu 1876 reached the sum of $262,355 56. Ketrench-
meut was proposed last year, but was postponed
until it became absolutely imperative, and in 1876
it was ordered. In 1875 the society asked the
Chnrob to rai^e 8864,133 60 ; this year they only
ask for $650,000. The receipts last vear fell off 168,-
297 58, aud tbe debt increased <76,79jS 72. ,, Tois,
ihey say, cannot goonany longer withoiitpenltotbe
society, especially in view cf the general stagnation
in business, and tbe increased demand for home
work. It was resolved to liquidate f 100,000 of tbe
debt, to reduce the appropriations from $679,133 to
{^525,000, and lo ask the Church f»r enough to meet
the reduced eipeuditures. Every dollar has been
saved that could be. The aporopriaiion for pub-
lishing the Christian Advocate has been reduced
from $16,986 to i^2,00U, and |41,449 has beeu spared
irom tue loreign work. Tbe allowance for mis-

NEW-TORK'S WATER SUPPLY.
Mr, n, G. Eastman, of Poughkeepsic, has
•written a letter to Mayor Wickham, in which he
oftei 8 suggestions for a ptrmanent and economical
settlement of the question of the water supply of
this City. Ha takes the ground that New- York ha|i
" out-grown tho Crotou system," which he charac^
teiiZBB as a f.dlure, not only in not providing aa
adequate supply, but also in not maintaining
a freedom from coutamiuatiou and impurities.
From the Hudson Elver, he claims, can
be had an itiexbaustible supply cf pure water with-
in fifteen miles of tho proaeut Croton tributaries.
This bountiful supply comes in a never -coasiug;
fl iw from the innumerable lakes and rivers in the
Adirondack wilderness, and is more free from or-'
game matter, aud more wholesome lu tbe vieiiiity
of Poughkeesaie, than at any point belt) w Troy. The
former oity^ bas for year* taken lis water from ibe
Buason. The water at this point has never beeu
known to be brackish but ouce. Mr. Eastman
suggests that the lequisite pumping works should
be located on the river bauk wiiliin live miles
north of the City of Poughkeepsie. at a
poiat where the sborp is abrunt aud llie water
deep. Fiom those works tho water eau oe deliv-
ered througli 8, COJ .'eel 01 pipe to a small reservoir
on Flagler Hiii. elevated 500 Jeet above Che liv.'r,
or on other high ground near Vassar Coiicgo ;
thence to be conducted fifteen miles, aud delivered
by force of gravily mio oue of the tnbutavtei of fie
Croton m the southern pare of Dutchess County.
Th'' coat 'if the work is estimated by Mr. E istm^u
at $1,939,600.

The aperatipn of placing fn position th* m^,
ond cradle cable ot the Bast Sivec Brldg*. wtalAj
has been in nrogress for die past three daja, waa,
continued yesterday. This cable, wfaioh ia twaj
and one-fourth inches In diametor, 3.425 foot looibi
and weighs seventeen tons, waa ddiv«ed at tknj
dock, at the foot of the Brooklyn, tower, <m 'Wed-'
nesday afternoon. On Thursday tow-ropeo. aa tm\
other similar occasions, were stretched from to«er|
to tower in the same manner as baa been aliiiadji
described in TsB Tnoa TestBrday momlag tbai
end of tbe cable was carried to the top of the Brook-j
lyn tower; and in two hours and twenty^trr
miniates was carried to the Kew-Tork aid*
It then became necessary to attach an extra tow-
rope to the cable, at a distance of three or foux
hundred feet from the tower, ia order to make vm
of the large engine at the foot of the New-Tafk
tower to assist the smaller one. To acoompliah
this a "baggy" -was lasned to the smiJI traveler-
rope, and, two men entering it^ the maebiaery waa
set in motion, and in a f'^w momenta it was awiof-
mg in mid air and rapidly aporoachine the middla
of the river. When' it reached the proper point it:
was found that tbe traveler bad sagged ao mnott
tbat it was impossible for the workmen to throw ft
small rope over the cable In order to
draw themselves np to it - so that tli«y
might fasten the end of tbe tow-rope to it.
The buggy was then drawn back to the STew-Toat
tuwer, and the vrorkmen were fanrUhed with two
short ropes, to one eno of escb< of which a ahaakk
was attached. The buggy was then swung oa ttia
carrier csole by means of the short rooea, tba
sbacKles runuisg over it Ukeapollsy. Conaldar-
able time was occupied with thia difficult and.
dangerous work for tbe reaoon tbat tbe short ropaa
had to be shifted every fifty feet or so, whsnerer otte
of tbe pullies by which the cradle cable w^a at-
tached to the carrier was reaob«d. It waa flsaHy
successfully accomplished however, and the end «
the tow-rope made fast The workmen then let go
the rope by which the baggy was sospended frons
the cable, and carefully lowered themselves as tari
as the rope would sag, and were drawn iMck to the
tower. This diflSculty being overcome, the lashnuBB
were out. and about twenty-five feet of the oaUr
wer^ drawn towards the anchorage. It beinx thaa

BATSVAir. lK>ndou: Pionsurck 187 tf.
This hanc|y little volume gives the cream
/ftbe Modem Domettlay Book, yrhxoh -was oom-
Idled in oomplianoe witit an ordeTof the ^ouse
of Commons made two or three years ago. In
JEhagland, thia return created more ioterest
than all other blue book* put together, ^ays
lir. Batemau in support of this: "X maymen-
l^n that, baviD8,» small party ia my bouse du-
ring one of these dubious weeks which eome in
twixt the olose of the hunting and the begin-
kiint of the London season, I was saved all care
jKs to the amusement of my Kuests simply bv/
Wviax about on the table the two huge volume
^f the Modem DomesdOff, over which I found
powed with the utmost constancy two or more
ite^ds. I heard from one of my jcuests that the
ibopj of the work at the Carlton was reduced
fto tags and tatters within a fortnight." Just
Ww, when the land question is assumine so
knaoh importance in England, this return be-
comes especially interesting albeit, throwing no
^> Ught on the solution of the difficulties.
I The his tor 7 of the tenure of land in England
lb closely mixed up with the political history
1^ th% country. Says a writer, early in the last
feentury : " The ancient monarchy of England
Sras settled upon an overbidanoe of lands vested
Ib the EiaK, nobility, and Churoh. The noble-
iuen held tbeir iB&iidg (and so did the Church-
men after the Norman conquest,) on con-
jUtion to assist the King, on all his ooca-
Bions, with oertam quotas of armed men,
knd the noblemen let out their lands to their
jtenants oil a very low rent on condition that,
)khey served in war. So that the people
|were the serfs of King, Baron, or Abbot." This
Wtate of things was mainly broken down by
Benry VII., whose object it was to reduce tne
irawar of the Barons. The story told by Bacon
knav be adduced in point : " Henry paid a visit
|U> his zealous adherent. De Yere, Earl of Ox-
ifoid, and -on leaving saw a splendid army of
men in livery assembled. 'My Lord,' said
h«^ *I have beard much of youx hospitality,
but I see it is even greater than
retort ThM0 handsome gentlemen and
yo^men are, I presume, your menial servants V
pnie King pretended to start with surprise, on
learning that they were retainers, and said:
VBy my faith, my Lord, I thank you for your
good cheer, but I cannot have my laws broken
in my sight My attorney' must sj^eak to you.'
Und the result of the attorneys speaking was
'» Sjhb, equivalent in the money of to-day, to
lome five hundred thousand dollars, for in-
iLnlginK in retamers in defiance of royal
prden." Besides a general squeezing of the
taobilltT' and the suppressiou of retainers.
&eilitiet were further given to the Barons
fee part with their lands, and thus it came to
^aM that, at the end of Henry YIU.'s
reign, landed property was much more divided.
Curiously enough, of late years the tendency
hm been again toward the coneentratioa of
land in a few hands, and more especially in
jUieseof the great nobles, though a writer in the
itdUnbuTf^ Iteviem in 1834 anticipated a very
difEsrent state of things. In an article on the
¥e«rage he says :
"The ancient Barons drew their importance from
Xheir immeuM landed possessions and from the nu-
jneroas retaineia and dependeats at their beck. A
laise portion of the territorial snrfase of Eoeland
^as in their hands, and all who lived on thel{ lands
wet* attached to the owners from kindness or
vttedient to them &om fear. The landed property
jJteld hy the present Hooae of Lords, tboagh coasid-
larableb Is comparatiTelr small. £for is this all.
nCbe landed property of England was formerly tbe
chief part of Its' wealth. At present it is far exceed«>d
tby the personal property. The decleDf>iun of tne Lords
bi wealth is irremediable and mnst eu on increaains.
iXbeu^oaitioain society precludes tbem from adtliug
[to thidSr fortmies by indoatry, and every sacceeding
{generation most lessen the means tbej at present
jnoseess. Tbe economical reforms in the State most
dears their Toanger children hardens on the beirs
So their title. Tne time Is gone by when a father
«onId beneath to one of his >oanger sous an
,aDnn)Ltj, to determine when his elder brother conld
procure r>r him an eqoiyalent place or position
from the Gh>Ternment. Few fields of adventore are
left open to the yoonger sons of the nobility. The
iCbnrcb, "which was tbeir richest haivest', is about
!to be reformed. The Army and Ifavy afford a
■lender resource without some other means uf sub-
aistenoe. Diplomacy creates babits of expei.ae and
IndaUemcek and then leaves the unbappv victim to
vegetate on a miscarable pension, if he be fortunate
•noanh to obtain one. The law, inaeed, is aocessi-
Me to all, but bov few are the children of the arls-
tmaer who have risen to eminence at the Bar.
!E1(e enlr resoaree left far anstoeratlc youth ia some
mfmeenary marriage with a dty heiress."
i Bat in (be very same number in which this
lUaval vaticination appears we find a striking
faiatanoe ef the antidote to this anticipated de-
olannon. A host of witnesses before a Parlia-
^nentary committee give evidence of the extent
to which their property has already been bene-
fited by railroads, and how farm produce thus
Ibond a new and most remunerative out-
Mt Bailroada, in tact, effectually served
gto prevent any deelenaian in the means of the
'iBiatoaratio classes. Their wealth had, on the
Mntrary, risen enormously, and tbeir rent-rolls '
nrete never so great as to-day.
^p' Other eiroumstanoes which have, ginoe 1834,
"ipwatly tended to augment the yield ot their
properties, nave been the working of minerals
«a titeir land, and tba great Improvement in
■(rienlture. Both ot these are indirectly
Haib, in a large degree, to steam. The Welsh
BStf Scotch owners have been more especially
jben«fitedinthis way. Fromhavingbeen the poor^
Wst, the Welsh are now among the wealthiest
'property-owners in England. Wo find, for ex-
Mnple, Mr. Talbot, ot Margam Abbey,
CQamorgansbire, down for £44,037. Prom the
Mme estate, his father did not receive £14,000.
Again, railroad8,if they have done barm in a few
eases t* towns on the old post-roads, have
created others. Torquay, a»/a great degree,
«>wes its existence to them, and Sir Lawrence
'^»lk, its principal owner, is put down at
£109,000 a year, although it will probably be
his grandson who will enjoy this enormous m-
eerae, when the land let for building falls in.
ifhe same remarks apply to many other towns.
As for London properties, they, too, are in a
large degree indebted to railroads, for where in
1830 five persons went to the metropolis, fifty
Zo now, and the demand tor houses increased
(correspondingly.
'; Lomdon propertiet not beirg included, the
largest estate in this return ia that of the Duke
)0f Norfolk— £269,698, but of the £231,000 at
:wbicb his Yorkshire property is set down, he
floes not receive a third, it being chiefly still let
on lon<; building-leases in Sheffield. In point
oi exteqt, the Duke of Northumberland ia the
greatest land owner— 191,480 acres. But his
bavlng so enormous a property is a mere
chance, consequent on the death of a
cousin, and the consequent mergina of
three peerages — Northumberland, Beverley,
Hid Prudhoe— into one. Moreover, he married
an heiress. So, again, with the Onkedom of
Devonshire. The present Duke, when Earl of
B&rllngton, succeeded his cousin. The Duke of
Buooleqoh's vast possessions are, in the same
•way, an accidental agglomeration ot properties
:wbieh have descended to him in default of
mpre dtreet heirs. »,
There Is a confion belief in this eountry
fhat estates are rarely in the market in Eng-
land, bat a glance at the advertisements in the
London Timet would soon dispel the notion.
In 1872 the total amount sold and registered at
the Estate Exchange, London, was £9,901,220,
jtgainst £5,769,384 in tba previous year. Dur-
hig the last few months the number of prop-
erties in the market haa been exceptionally
large, a circumstance probably largely aue to
|the general depression in trade, and the fall in
ibreign securitiec. Sxeept in tha remoter
jcouBties, it is very rare to find families who have
0iTad
' iwnily seated in the same place for ISO years
would be quite an old family within a radius of
fifty miles from London. Within a circuit of
ten miles of Beading, for example, the capital ot
the royal County ot Berks, a very favorite and.
fKquented neighborhood, plrobably not five
£amilies of position could be found who have
, been there for 200 years, and even in Yorkshire
or Devonshire a century is regarded as a
pretty venerable tenure.
Mr. Bateman marks with an old English "S"
all those iamilies noticed in Mr. Evelyn Philip
Shirley's Noblemen and Gentlemen of England,
as being either head ot a family or of a branch
of a fimUy. who held land in the same
county since the time, of Henry Vll. in un-
broken male line. They are very few. Fami-
lies die out to an extent of which
people who have given no attention
to the subject have little idea. There'
is, for instance, a Devonshire Squire in this
book, with an " S " to his name, who is the
yjungest son of the youngest of seven broth-
ers. He has three sons, all past thirty, and
childless. In this list, too. appears the name
of Miss Palmer. This lady's three brothers
all lived to old age and died bachelors. The
will of the last was sworn under £350,000, and
he had a large r«alty. The three sisters are
also unmarried. Mr. Talbot, of Margam,
mentioned above, has lost his only son,
and the male .line is extinct. He d6-
rives his great property from the Mon-
sels, whose heiress brought it to him. To give
another example. Sir Balph Ashton, of the time
of Charles L, was the eldest ot ten sons. He
married twice but had no issue. He was suc-
ceeded by his ninth brother, who was succeed-
ed by his tenth orother, and he dymg childless,
the peerage became extinct. The late Sir
Charles Lemon, a wealthy, Cornish baronet,
having lost two of his sons by drowning at Eton,
*nt the remaining one to Harrow, where there
is no river, but the boy got drowned in a pond
known to Harrovians as the " duck puddle."
The country churches are full of monuments to
families quite extinot. Perhaps no more sig-
nifioantproof of how families die out is afforded
than by the fact that between 1801 and 1825
twentv Irish peerages became extinct.
Properties are now chiefly bought b^ men of
mercantile wealth. The richer land- owners
will buy to roimd off an estate, or! because a
piece of land runs into theirs and' interferes
with their shooting, but seldom otherwise add
field to field. Lord Overs tone, formerly a Lon-
don and Manchester banker, has leen about
the largest buyer of late yeara, an 1 ia down
here as owning property worth £58 098 a year,
in eleven counties. When it is mmembered
that land only pays from SV* to 3 pei cent., this
represents a yaBHte>%c sum. His son-in-law,
Col. Loyd-Lindsay/ is down at £: 16,4^2 ; his
estate was presented to him by LordOverstone.
The Bothsohilds are down as having 19,800 acres.
Sjt Franoii Goldsmid, also a Hebrew, bought
the principal seat of the ancient family of Guise,
and is down at £30,549. Nearly all the leading
London bankers bafe been oonsidei'able
purchasers. Lord Caringto^, whos^ great,
grandfather founded Smith, Payne Sc Smith,
has £'^5223 ; the merchants and manufacturers
in the country trade-centres have also been
since 1830 especially, large buyers. Hooton,
the home for many centuries of the elder branch
of the Stanleys, belo^iga now to Mr. Naylor, a
Liverpool broker. Mr. Poster, a trader, owns
Apley, once the seat of the old family of Whit-
mcre, and a large slice of the Duke of Beaufort's
land has gone to a British merchant. In time
these families wiU. be ranked as old country
families, as are the Duncombe's, whose Ancestor,
John Evelyn, described as "a mean gold-
smith'" and of whom the poet wrote, anent

It is likely enough that more land than ever
will in the next ten years be at the disposal of
" city people," for the smaller squirearchy will
not be able to stand inevitable reductions in
rent, and must sell and put their money Into
something which will pay better. The landed
aru«tooracy's financial prosperity probably cul-
minated in 1870, and tbe valuatioas of the
writer in the Edinburgh will now become truer
each year. The younger son difficulty is al-
ready much felt, and » large family of sons is
regarded as making almost any man poor.
Unless they are actually brought up to trade
they very rarely succeed in it, and there is no
other paying occupation for them to embark in.

It is a sufficient recommendation to this
valuable and magniticent work to say that it
has the enthusiastic indorsement of Philip
Gilbert Hamerton. Many of the examples
mentioned by Hamerton in bis Etchers and
Etching will be found in the series, and
the title page of the acoompanjing hand-
book appropriately bears this succinct
statement from his pen: "The sev-
enty-two etchings before us are, on the
whole, the most remarkable set of studies from
old masters which has been issued by tbe enter-
prise of modern publishers, and can hardly fail
to make fine work better apnreoiated, both by
artists and amateurs." Tbis is high praise, but
it is well deserved. Mr. Hamerton has proba-
bly done more than any Englishman to dis-
seminate among amateurs a sincere knowledge
of etching; and, in spite of his vagaries, he
may be accepted as flnai authority in all mat-
ters relating to the art. But, aside from all
suck opinions ex cathedra, no one familiaCr
with high-class engraving needs to
hesitate over these wonderful plates.
WhUe tbev have all of the characteristics which
are inseparable from works produced by tbe
etching needle and acid, they are faithful
copies of the manner ot each one of tbe masters.
The genius of Unger has been described as ver-
satile and elastic. Certainly, in choosing as he
did, to reproduce the master-pieces of Rubens
and Paul Potter, Poussin and Teniera, £em-
brandt and Paul Veronese, he undertook the
treatment of subjects the most dissimilar, the
rendering of works which seemed to exact
many and various ai-tistic faculties. But the
result is completely satisfyiug. In the exam-
ples before us the etcher has entered into the
feeling and sentiment of the masters with a
loving spirit. His translation (if we may use
the word) is faultless. Possibly, Unger may
be more thoroughly in sympathy with Van
Ostade's boors and burghers than with the
finest examples of the Venetian school,
which he has treated with such deli-
cacy. But no etching can be finer, none more
thoroughly informed with the intention of the
master mmd, than those which have come from
his hand. Rightly understood, these works are
teachers of criticism— "a school of criticism,"
says Hamerton. Certainly, as guides to a mas-
tery of the difficulties of managing light and
shade, composition, and '* effect," no line en-
sraving ean be so useliil.
Of the more famous master-pieces of the
Venetian school, these Bortfolios contain Tin-
toretto's "Portrait of a Man," Palma's "Adam
and Eve," the " Cleopatra " which is sometimes
ascribed to Titian, •• The Family of Darius- be-
fore Alexander," of Paul Veronese, and many
Others. The artist is, perhaps, most hi«hiy suo-
mirably and effectively engraved. The "Man
Studying " is also a wonderfal work of art, ex-
quisite in feeling and true in senti-
ment. . U;iger's delicacy of manipula-
tion Is taxed severely in some of tbe
landscapes which be has etched, the well-known
"Mountain Pass" of Rembranat being an ex-
ample in which a rare atmospheric efl'ect is
combined with a certain ragged vigor. But
the versatility of the etcher is equal to all de-
mands upon him. The charming idyllic picture
pi "A Young Couple in their Saloon," a study
of sixteenth century costume and manners,
leaves nothing to be wished for in nicety of fin-
ish and general effect. So of the studies from
the Flemish and Dutch schools; "The Cas-
cade" of Ruysdael. the " Cleopatra" of Jan
Steen, and a wonderful little sketch of Teniers,
give admirable proof of the skill of the etcher.
We cannot forbear a word of praise due the
publishers who have had the courage to bring
out this excellent work. Knowledge of the
art of etching in America is yet young, audit
mast be oonfesaed that like engravings,
heliotypes and autotypes appeal more directly
to the uneducated taste than the finest etch-
ings. But we may hope, in behalf of the best
art education, that these portfolios may find
place in the homes of many amateurs,
as well as in the studios of artists.
The mechanical execution of the sheets is be-
yond criticism. Each plate is attached by only
its upper edge to a thick sheet cf paper, 16 by
22Vji inches, thus making some concession to the
requirements of collectors. And for tbe men-
tal relief of those who may fancy that these
portfolios must be enormously dear, we may
add that the total cost of the plates and ac-
companying letter-press is reaaonably light.

THE TITIAH GALL BR T. A Series of Twenty -four of
the Uost Renowned Works of Titiait, reproduced
In Heliotype, with a Sketch of the Life and Works
of the Artist. Boston : Jambs B. Oboood d. Co.
It must be acknowledged that, as a rule,
the heliotype has failed to (Satisfy an exacting
and critical taste. It lacks the delicacy and
strength of the line engraving, and the deli-
cious tone of the autotype. Nevertheless, as a
means of inexpensively reproducing works
whose cost renders them almost inaccessible
to art students and amateurs, tbe heliotype
has great and positive value. The handsome
folio before us contains twenty-four of the
works of Titian, apparently selected with a
view to their adaptability to the process of
reproduction, as well as for their artistic emi-
nence. To be sure, nearly all of the great Vene-
tian's works have a certain vigor which has given
abundant opportunity for generations ot copy-
ists, engravers, and photographers toreproduoe
them with tolerable fidelity to the meaning ot
the master. But in what is known as the sec-
ond manner and the third manner of Titian
must be found the favorite subjects of
engravers. In this collection, accordingly,
we have some admirable examples of Titian's
best manner, heliotyped with fair success.
" Titian's Daughter," '"Flora," " Francis L,"
" Charles V.," " Sophonisba," and " Titian's
Mistress," ard all finished with great care,
and are brought out with that combination of
sharpness and softness which tests the value
of the heliotype process. The same cannot be
said of some of the more crowded pictures, that
of "Three Stages of Life," "The Great Holy
Family," and " St. Jerome %u the Desert" being
unfavoi able examples of the art.
The engravings used for ' these plates are
from the burins of famous artists, Sobiavoni
and Mandel being among the more prominent
names. Taken altogether, the collection is a
representative one, and has evidently been
prepared with great care. Not the least val-
uable part of the work is a sketch of Titian's
life and labors, and a brief treatise on his
different manners, coloring, and methods.
This generally follows a sketch printed in
London in 1829, which was based upon Italian
biographies of the painter. The mechanical
execution of the book is unexceptionable, and
it is sure to prove an acceptable addition to the
illustrated publications of high character which
the holiday season requires.
SEW MUSIC.
— S. p. Gordon & Son are responsible for
"Silver," by Tito Mattel. Thia song is repre-
sented to be an answer to "Non 6 ver ;" that tune-
ful and popnlar composition ought to have called
out a more flttmg response. The same firm have
issiied "Praise the Lord," by George Rapes, a can-
tiqtie for bass, after the fashion ot Adam's " Koel," —
and very far after; " Norab,Aoa8bla," an Irish soni;
of the "Kathleen Mavonrneen" type, by Mr. Mil-
lard; a brilliant vaUe de talon entiiled "Salat d,
New-York," by Kowalski, and sundry songs and
pieces of dance music which do not demand notice.
— C. H. Ditson & Co. issue some works of
decided merit Their "Stuttgart edition" of Bee-
thoven's sonatas, edited, flnuered, and explained by
notes from Dr. Von Billow and Prof. Iisbert, can
be considered as a standard work. Several excel-
lent publications foi orgau-stndents and performers
—The Organist's Reliance, for charoh seryice and
home entertainment, and the Altium for Organists
deserve commendation. Of tbe minor proCuctions
of tbe firm, Mr. Millard's "Thy Name" is to be
cited as a graoetnl song, and the sams composer's
"Oh 1 my Charmer," to Hugo's words, as quite me-
lodiu'us. Mr. MiUard is seldom inspired, but ho
nsaally has the tact to avoid downright common-
places. Among the piano pieces, Strauss' "Ver-
Qicte Walzer" may be mentioned, and a pretty char-
acter piece called " la the Merry Month of May,"
by Gastave MerckeL
— AmonK the best of the numerous publica-
tions of Edward Schaberth is, Co., is noticeable Tito
Mattel's "Amo," with German and Italian words.
This is an exceedinely expressive and aracefal
song, in a semi-recitative and semi-lyrical style
which must commend it to a singer of taste far^
more eloquently than would a commonplace
melody. In " My Ship Comes In," Mr. Harrison
Millard's music Is inferior to Joaqum Miller's
words, while the sone opens exactly like ths
pirates' chorus in " Giroflfi-airofla." The
same firm sends forth " Near the Brook," by Ferdi-
nand Duloken, a pretty Out rather conventional
work, made up of variations on a short theme;
"Sweet Love," agayotte, by Resch, which, though
cleverly written, is open to tbe ohartie of conven-
tionality; and some violin and piano masio. The
"Air Allemand," with vaTiations, by Mr. G.
Matzka, and G. Froelich's "Fantalsie" are showy
narlor pieces of medium difflcultv; Mr. Matzka's
sonata is a more elaborate and thoroughly musician-
like composition, the allegro moto being particu-
arly brifcht and tuneful.

partments of literal are, but £rom the attractive
character of tbe field which he has chosen for these
riper and deeper studies. The plan of the book
was suggested to him by Mr. Mark Pactlson's ar-
ticle in tbe noted Essays and Bevieios on tbe
"Tendencies of Religious Thought in England
from 1688 to 1750." He traverses the same field
wbich Rev. John Hunt went over so laboriously,
rather as an annalist than as the histoiiaa of
thouizht — which is the special point of Mr. Stephen's
very elaborate work. He traces carefally the ap-
plication of the principles accepted in philosoph y
and religion to moral and political questions and
their reflection on the imaginative literature of that
time. He Koes over tbe same field which Mr.
Luckey is engaged upon in his forthcoming work.

London, Saturday, Nqv. 11, l876.
The Guildhall banq[uet in honor of tbe
new Mayor has, in recent years, been rather
falling into commonplace routine. Some Of the
leading Ministers always attehd, but they know
that they will soon have to meet Parliament,
and are chary aud formal in their utterances.
Besides, there is always such a clatter and up-
roar at the dinners — ^the company being a very
mixed and not very well-mannered mob— that
it is very difficult for the speakers to make
themselves heard amid the general hubbub of
inebriate conversation and rattling of dessert-
plates. This time, however, it suited the Min-
isters to take so advantageous an opportunity
of giving a version of their {tosition and policy
which nobody can contradict or criticise, at
least until the newspapers come out next day,
and even then the report of the speech has
more effect than the leading articles. And the
audience, on a question so important to the
Stock Exchange, and so interesting in being
the first civic appearance ot Lord Beaconsfield,
was content to be silent and attentive. There
can be no doubt that the Pre mier
made a very plausible and effective
vindication of f he position of the Government
— not that it was a vindication in form, for he
did not directly notice any charges against
them; but in substance, of course, it was a
defense, and a very good story he made of it,
though, perhaps, some of the details are open
to criticism, and the success of the narrative
was mainly due to the author of Coningsb^
and Lothair. He laid before the company the
two chief objects which the British Govern-
ment had in view — ^first, the great object of pre-
serving peace, and. secondly, one which,
though not so great as the former, ap-
pealed to their sympathy and demanded tbe
most careful consideration, namely, such an
amelioration of the condition of the subjects
of the provinces of the Turkish Empire as, by
their increasing prosperity and* welfare,
would add in the surest manner ,to
the independence and integrity of the
country, and prevent the occasion of fu-
ture disturbances. , The Government, ho ex-
plained, took their stand on the Treaty of Paris,
which expressed the deliberate and unanimous
opinion of the powers :^bioh signed it, that
the territorial integrity and independence of
Turkey ought to be maintained. They assented
to the Andrassv note, though they doubted
whether, under the circumstances of Turkey,
with a national bankruptcy and ^threatened
revolution, it could be effectual ; they with-
held assent from tbe Berlin memorandum, be-
cause it made demands which Turkey, in its
tbin position, could not fulfill, and menaced
tbe Perte with a military occupation of the
Turkish provinces ; but they at once, on the
appeal of Servia, used their influenoe to make
peace. Just then occurred tbe excitement
about the Bulgarian outrages, and a false im-
pression was produced that England, which
bad sent its fleet to protect tbe Chrlstiane,
was hostile to them. In the end, however,
an armistice had been agreed to, and Lord
Beaconsfield took credit for his Government.
In the course of the speech there were good
things uttered, as, for instance, that the Rus-
sian ultimatum was like bringing an action for
uebt when tbe whole sum claimed had already
been paid into court ; that sga. armlBtice was
not peace any more than courtship was wed-
lock, though it WHS in bdth cases the auspi-
cious harbinger of a happy future ; and that
the Eastern question could not be settled by
"mere pen and ink work." And then, as a
further triumph, the conference was cited as
due to English influenoe. Finally, he wound
up with a spirited declaration that, while
peace was especially an English policy, Enc-
land was determined to maiutam at any cost
her unexampled Empire, and no country was
so well prepared for war. It could only be in
a righteoiu cause that she would eo to
war, but she would then outer upon a
a campaign, which would not be ended till
right is done. Altogether it was a stirring and
successful speech, but not without flaws. Tbe
Times remarks, that, it the Andrassv note was
inopportune, this is only a way of saying that
the Government was three months in ari-ears
in appreciating the serious nature of the con-
flict it was designed to settle; and that when
the Government, on the opposition ot Russia to
the Turkish offer of a six months' armistice,
declined to take any further^ steps in the mat-
ter, it snows that the present cessation of hos-
tilities happened without their aid. On the
whole however, this speech will no doubt help
the Government with the people.
The annouucemeut that the Marquis of Salis-
bury is to represent the British Government at
tbe conference on the Eastern question, was a
surprise to most people. For some time past
there have been rumors of difterenoea m the
Cabinet, and it was supposed that Lord Salis-
bury had taken up a very decided position iu
antagonism to Lord Beaconsfield. as to the de-
gree of pressure to be put on the Porte, in or-
der to compel it to do justice to the Christian
population under its control. Lord Salisbury
is known to be an earnest and uacompromising
High- Churchman of the highest kind, sympa-
thizing with the Liddon party, aul anxious to
see the English and Greek Churches brought
into more intimate connection. It is difficult
to understand the enthusiasm that this section
of English Cburchmeu entertain for the
Greek communion, which is. in reality,
a very ignorant and superstitions body;
but there can be no doubt of the
fact, and one of the main objects of tbo Bonn
conferences has been to get over the difficulty
as to " the procession of the Holy Ghost," by
devising a vague aud ambiguous form of words
■which will look like agreement. The ideal, in
fact, is to bring together tbe New Catholics of the
Do dinger school — who, though partially Roman
Catholics, repudiate the yoke of the Papacy —
the High Churchmen of England, and the
Greeks into a great religious fraternity occu-
pying the ground between ordinary Protestants
and ordinary Roman Catholics. Nothing, of
course, could be more contrary to the general
iustinots and tradition of this country, but the
High Church Party, though of limited num-
bers, is very obstinate and audacious in its
policy, and exercises considerable influenoe on
sentimental minds, and it is quite probaule that
the project may in time take a
more definate^ shape. Indeed it was
with this object in view that Dr. Lid-
don and Rev. Malcolm McColI made their re-
cent visit to Servia and Bulgaria, in order to
show their sympathy for the Christians of those
regions, who belong to the Greek laitb. Un-
der these circumstances, it is natural enough
that Lord Salisbury should feel bound to do all
he can in the interests of thoie whom he re-
garus as his coreligionists, and there seems to
be giound for beUeving that ne has done so to
a certam extent in tbe Cabmet. It can hardly
be supposed, however, that he ha,s suooeeded
in getting the advantage over Lord Beacons-
field and Lord Derby, aud in taking things into
'^hia awa iuuids : and tbe more orobakla exolav^
nation of bis appointment ia that a com-
promise has been come to by which the
Marquis will be enabled to watch tbet
the Christians are &irly dealt with, '
while at tbe same time the general policy
in regard to Turkey will be dictated by tba
Cabinet as a body. On tltis point, Mr. Disraeli,
who has always been more or less opposed by
Lord Salisbury since tbe tatter's appearance ki
Parliament as Lord Robert Cecil, said at tbe
Guild Hall dinner, that the Miirquis posseseed
the confldedace of bis colleagues ; " they laa/Si
confidence in his abilities — m bis srasp of i&e
subject, and in the tact and fairness ol bis
obarapter; and be bad no doubt that be
'■would use and exercise all his abilities to
bnng about the permanent peace of Europe.''
But, of course, this may be meant to fix Lord
Salisbjury to a certain course. On the whole,
the sympathy of the country is rather witb
tbe Christians, as suob, apart from tbe High
Church scheme ot union, and the choice of
Lord Salisbary appears to give satisfaction.
The Pail Mail Gazette, however, baa spoken out
very plainly on the otber aide. It points out
the danger of placing the negotiations in the
bands of "a man of views so confident, of
opinions so infiexibte, who will represent his
own will and. judgment rather than the out-
come of a Cabinet's counsels." The PaU Matt
admits bis clear and vigorous intellect and
capacity for businesw, but it boldk that it is of
deep importance that " religious prejudices and
religious /ervors should be left at the door of
the oonference ;" and it knows firom the Whole
course of bis history; that these cannot be
absent wherever he apoears.
Another objection might also have been sug-
gested to Lord Salisbury's appoiutme^ and
that is, that be bas never bad any personal ex-
perience in diplomacy, and ia ot a very dog-
matic and outspoken nature, so that difficulties
may possibly arise witb some of the other
representatives. The newspapers make a great
deal of the fact that the- Indian Minister should
be identified as indicating the reason why tbe '
Eastern Question is so important to this coun-
try, and it is, no doubt, perfectly true that tbe
English interest in Turkey is only that it is t^
gate to thes East; but there is no reason why the
Indian Minister should be directly brought
mto an aft'air which has to deal witb considera-
tions quite independent of India. The only
manner in which the way to India can be made
secure, is to get the Turkish question settled
on a sound foundation, and for this some one
who b{is special knowledge and expenenee,
(not compromised by real or supposed religious
prejudices,) should have been selected.
Lord Hartington's speech on Friday lai^t at
Keighley, in Yorkshire, only » part of wMob
reached tbe London papers in tim^ for Satur-
day's impressions, has more than ever made It
clear that he is in his right place as the leader
of the Liberal Party. He spoke loyally and
generously of Mr. Gladstone, and said be could
not see what crime be bad committed to be so
much abused. Bui; Lord Hartington's own eon-
duct is a sufficient condemnation of the former
leader's wild eaoapade. There is no great difier-
enoe between Lord Hartaogton'^ opiniqii of the
necessities ot tbe eituatipa and wbat
should be done and that of Mr. Gladstone,
as it has been subsequently toned down ; but
Mr. Gladstone's mis cake was that he spoke
with reckless passion, and without much
knowledge of the facts, at a time when high
language on tbe part of a former Minister was
very likely to do misobiet abroad by causing
false imnressions of English feeling? and
greatly embarrassing the Ministry at a diffi-
cuit time. Lord Hartington, on the other hand,
took tbe trouble to study the question on the
spot ; beard all sides and drew his oyyn con-
clusions, but prudently refrained froxa. ora-
tory till it could be of advantage. And when
be did speak, it was in a very different tone
from tbat of Mr. Gladstone. He did not foam
at the mouth and denounce the Turks as an
anti-human element in tbe bnman nwe,
which must somehow be suppressed, or
extirpated, but In^eated the Turks with fair-
ness and impartiality, not ignoring tbeir good
qualities, while fearlessly exposing their faulteu
■The result of his investigations is to convince
bim that the Turks cannot be txusted to carry
out the needful reiorias, after having so often
promised to do so and then neglected tbeir
pledges. >fome external force must be ap^ied
to them, and they must be made to understand
that there is no longer any option as to whether
reforms are to b^ actually carried out, bat
that if they cannot do it themselveB, the Powers
will have to do it for them. Tbei'e ouh. be no
doubt that since tbe exbaustion of the exclte-
meut on the subject of the Bulgarian horrors
the public opimou here has assumed a much
calmer and morn sensible oharactdr, and Lord
Hartington has haopUy struckthis key in his
moderate, thoughtful^ and essentially states-
manlike address. He has certainly not much
to boast of in the, way of eloquence, but ne bas
tbe more important quality of iBBpiiing coa-
fldence.
Mr. Gladstone has just taken another step
iu a course which, even if bis fluooeflsor were
unpopular with his party, would lead them to
iear tbe returu uf the retired statesman. Be
has written a letter on vaccination in which he
does not venture to go the length of openl.Y
joining the ignorant aud tooiish agitation
against the use of this valuable and beneficent
measure of p. ecautton against a horrible and
fatal disease, but he tries to disparage it in an
Indirect way. He loudly proclaims the neces-
sity of preserving pnvate liberty &om ag-
gressions, and at the same time holds
up tbe value of vaooinatieu as an
open question, as to which there is not yet suf-
fioieut evidence to warrant a positive ojumon,
though he leaves it to be inferred that the de-
ticieucy of proof that vaccination is of use is
sufficient to justify the abolition of the compul-
sory enforcement of it. Nothing can be more
unfair or injurious than thia matnod of dealing
with such a subject It may be taken for
granted that the system of vaociuatian as now
practiced is not absolutely perfect ; there are
careless operators, an^ the quality of the
lymph is not always uflfto the mark. But there
is a large and overwhelming body of soientifio
opimou in favor of the system, as at least
diminishing tbe evils ol tbe smali-pox. Vao-
cinatiou may not be an absolute pre-
ventive, but, at least, it has greatly
reduced the number ot deaths ; and it is under-
stood, in point of fact, that a person who bas
been vaccinated, though he may" have an
attack ol the disease, is protected against a fatal
result This is, almost without exoeption» the
opinion of the whole medical professien, and
tbis opinion was confirmed, three years back,
by the unanimous report of an authoritative
Royal Commission. Ic will be seen, taeretore,
that Mr. Glaastone has given dangerous en-
couragement to the spreatl ot disease by coun-
teiianwiig tue ollorcs of those Who are now de-
.y:iij4 tne ittw auu endeavoring to got it abol-
i:»xjed.

men have put themselves in what, at tbe pres-

tion ; and. indeed, they begin to see this them-
selves, and have made offers of compromise,
though not in such a way that the employers can

Bomb, Tuesday, Nov. 7, 1676.
The OovernineDt of Italy, ruling in tb^
actual Ministry, has wen an extraordinary
triumph in tbe elections of Sunday last Every-
body knew that approbation was to be given
to t^e Depretis Cabinet, and the m^ority in-
creased, but few expeoted tbe splendid saooass
which bas followed the appeal to the coontry
in a general eleotion. Tiw number «f members
of tbe Chamber of Deputies is 508. In tbe
elections just held, of 390 known to be obosea,
304 belong to tbe party of the Ministry, and 9$
to tbat of the Opposition. On Sooday next, m
the colleges whioh have failed to elect, a new
trial will be held, and from the calculations
already made witb ooosiderable precision, it is
believed that the Oopoiition will not be able Ut
gaiii enough to carry their vote in Parliameol
much beyond one hundred The l&uister will
thus be able to bejrm bis work with a fore»
eqpal to four to one. The preswit look-got
from pOTfis one of fair weather and plain ssit
ing. As measures of policy have been distin^ly
declared, there seems to be no other course for
the sucoessftd party but to stick to its {m-
gramme, ajid go forward and oarr^ out i»-
forms. The opposicum » a little itanned. iXt
'defeat is so overwhelming; but it accepts it
with good temper, content to look on and wateb
patiently for tbe first blunder to be committed.
It is well, on the whole, tbat tbe Badieals, m>
strong in numbers, will have to oppose them s
company of critics so ojmpact and oompeten*
for intdBgenos, obaraoter, and p<^itMal abiUtiy
as is tbis fragment of the old party.
The trial of the lOQ-ton gun at La Speria bk,
gone, on lor a week, and at least sotne mtm
knowledge has been bbtainod of the powar,
of such weapons. This fact certaialy has bsMs
demonstrated, that iron plates, of whatersr «
thickness yet oonstmcted, or used on the<«t&s
ef vessels, can be pierced through and tbrooi^
or shattered to firagments by conoosstosu
People are beginning to inquire, what eaa bs
the value ot those gigwatao pots, porcbMad bf
nations at enormous cost, leaded with iroa
slabs of a thickness increased to a aegrea wbio&
threatens to (sosb them. An iroo-elad vssssl
of 6,000 tons, whieh goats not lees than $4,000,01(1^
seems like a tyoa ot the £^se economy oM-
putting too many eggs into one basket. Pee^
of sharp wits see these swaggering gisAts com-
ing on to the eneniy's coast to go reeling down
like Gh)liab, straok by a torpedo-sting as faibA
as tbe stone slung br the anwent striplinf
champion. ', : ;"/■<■
Tbe experiments wlfli Ods first graat gm
have worked so well that tiia OoTemment has
just ordered tiiree others of tba same weiidit

The large expenditure in the past doxen yeus
upon tbe naval arsenal at Spezia has mads it
one of the best supplied with means fer etsbr
struction and repa^ in the world, and several
l^ussi^ Toss^ bayo ja^t entered tke part

The death of Cardmal Antonelli baa been |f¥
some time expected, but tbe stroke came^ so
suddenly at last as to take Keme by surprise.
The Pope's Secretary oi State was able to at-
tend to business — whioh has been the passion
of his life — UD to the day of baa death. He Was
£»ized witb tlie paroxysms of tbe malady w^sdi
produced his demise, and from whioh he b^
long suffered, at tbe moment of a oonierenea
wiu tbe Pope upon tbe monetairy affairs of tba
Vatican, The gout bas been, a^ ooatixittes t«
be, the severest physical affiiotion to tbe cirols
of Cardinals or " prinoee of the Gfaurcb," msmv
of whom we adv^^ced ja. years, and now sulsr
from ^is distemper. Carding Antbneili WM
well advanced in nis seventy ..fint yoar, bom as
be was on tbe ^ of April, ims^tba long perivd
of u«#rly titiirty^ ysar^ oi bis oonnection nn^
the Pope's iioiitisal establishment as Secretsry
of &ate, bas brougbt bis naine oeaMfnawamd^
b^mre tbe world, and m«d« tbe ^t« (^ his his-
tory M Suniiiar to iall wbo keep ibe run of i«b-
lio affairs as these of almost any oMttoa-
poriu<y poli^sal actors. W4th ' Unatod ad-
vuit«Hges of tiaiAj education, the aubtietj ol
bis intelleot, the activity ot his iempawaeaU,
and bis love Of work, served bim instead to
make a earesr and to gain bis post of ewiinpnt
distiaotion. ^ut the success of Antonelli maf
per8(»al rather than public, or pdtitloal. Labor-
ing always for the adyanoeiDent of tb« P«ea<»r,
He has seen only disaster dome to its cause. It
is the opinion of Italians that his oounsels,
mor« l^an any othersi laflujwcipg the oondnoi
of the PojM, have caused tbe tsta) issues wbiob
flU the long record of thw Pontiff's reSgn. In
t^tiB begimmuc, the Cardinal and the Pope gavs
their approbati^ U> tbe movemsnt for i»s0k»1
independence and unity ; b^tibey soon ebjuoged
their ground, and sineb have labored wi^ ail
tbMT might to destroy tbe work aooompiisted
without their aid. I attribute tbe fears of the
Papacy, and the hostility to modem progress
to a lack of faith in Pivins Providenoe weHiaqt
in human society.
If there be any truth in what is univeraaUy
stated and believed, Cardinal Antondli has
left a fortune of tbe value of many atilliona.
That he collected in his lite a very eitenaivs
and valuable museum of marbles aud gems, ia
well known, and many have e.^jeyed tbe pleas-
ure of its inspection- Thia o<rilection, itisststed,
he bas left to the Gallery of the Vatican.
In personal appearance and m mamu^rs. Car-
dinal Antonelli was not without a oectau at-
traction, as those know who were aceustoined
to meet him in society m past years. His com*
plexion was dai-k, like that of so many of the
inhabitanta of bis native resion, lisnted up
With a snule, partly natural or ohronio, or
diplomatic, but such as won tbe sympathy of
those brougbt in contact with htm, either b.v
business or social intercourse. His organiza-
tion was suob as to make bim love ths world
and its pleasures, jmd many stacias aretold of
his loves and gidl an tries, some of whioh are
not Without foundation, as there are living wit-
nesses in Borne to prove. But to all aceusations
and charges of irreffularities there was ^be
same ready reply : " Cardinal Antonelli be-
longs only to the order of deacons."
Many ol us have been made sad by cocaiyiBg
notice of the death, the past week, at the BacbS
of Luoca, of Mr. Charles Hemans. Mr. Hs*
mans was quite as well known by his books
and by personal acqualutanoe, t» AmttnCbss
as to his own countr^TUen. His very long
residence, of thirty years, with special studies
of the history and arcbselogy of the ooontty,
had given him much knowledge of Italy. The
information about Catholio institutions,
religious art, and monascio liie, embodied in
the half dozen or more of his published works,
has been eminently useful to the large numbsr
of English-speaking travelers always found
in Italy. 1 knew him intimately for more
than twenty year^ and tbe Cbrisuan
gentleness of bis nature, the reticedT
aud studious habits of bis life, and;
the inexhaustible store of facts laid up in his
mind made him one of tiie most pleasMit aud
protitaole of companions. Ue bad been brougbt -
up in the Protestant laits, the reii^on of ibk
revered mother; but in early..life, influenced,
undoubtedly, as are so many others, quite »a
much by love of art and Beutin3.eutai tendexunea
as by conviction of tbe imderstanding, he be-
came a Roman Ci^olio. Bat he ibUAd, «s
others have found, that all that is worthy and
good in the Catholic Churoh can be admired and
enjoyed without renouncing the mors eulight-
ei^ed faa^ whioli is" our heritage. Ten
years back, after twenty years of intimate
connectioa witb the rites of Catholio wor-
ship, he retonied qnoe. mors to the Cinuch
of England servloe. He had many friends
in tbp Church of Seine andsomeln conspicuous
places. These turned ttieir backs upon him, and
relused to give him any recognition, as soon as
thp change was made. There was a demoustz«^
tion of indignant resentment; but Bemasis,
witb characteristic geatlenees, let fall no words
but those of Christian affeo^n for bis old
friends oitd the Churoh tor whioh he stJU cher-
ished respeot and a laree-nunded sttaobasant.
But the rebuks of a return to his firftiaith was
too severe, and ho was iiever forgiven.
Among Englishmen, to Mr. Hemans saast^
aofeorded thelrstjfiaoe for his knswisdgs of Hi*
arohssblogy of 'Eomo. For mpre than a quw>
ter of a eentury it was with him a snifwl

The inevitabls conflict of authority be-
tween the State officers of South Caro-
liii» and the Supreme Court was advanced
* Bt^p nearer yesterday. In jadgin; of
the merits of this controversy, it is as well
to remember that the court has, firom the
first, been the aggressor. In consent-
ing t* argue about its powers be-
fotb tkat tribunal, the Returning Board
'■"^y^'have given some color to a perfectly
m^n/jtifiable usnrpatioa, but such action
ieould not alter the fact that the board is a
judicial body of entirely independent joris-
fdietioo, empowered to discharge certain
w7 ties prescribed by law, which the court
anight^ called on to interpret, but
"or.bich it had no power to set aside,
'ilw ooozt undertook to reduce
*he members of the Ketuming Board to the
^position of its clerks, but it overreached
fitee]£^/Nowit has undertaken to proceed
Srith the canvass of the vote of Sonth
€arolrjia as if all the functions of the Re-
jtonurog Board had been transferred to
Josfe'^ces MosKS and Willard. Disregard-
ing the decision of the board on the vote of
I'ft'jxens and Edgefield Counties, it contem-
Iplntes ordering the Secretary of State to
**rae certificates of election to the mem-
"b ers of Legislature fraudulently and ford-
id >ly retomed from these two counties, and
'lias adjudged the members of the Return-
ing Board in contempt The court is, in
Cwt, aitn^mpting to take into its own hands
the executive and legislative, as well as the
ladidal, functions of the Government of
South Caiohna.
' T?he Democratic farce of making elabo-
lace arguments, on what Mr. Kelly would
taSJ. an ** hypotheticated case." in Florida,
«raa concluded to-day. The absurdity of
Ui© whole proceeding is only too manifest.
^Aliere is the ^ftdavit of Gov. Stearns, de-
claring that he had no intention of
punning any such coarse in re-
gard to the vote for Presidential Elect-
ors ae that with which the Democrats
wedit him, and there is the certainty
that if he did adopt any such view of his
duties, the injunction of the court is power-
less to restrain him from carrying it into
BfE'ec'u But, according to our correspondent,
the- view entertained by the Governor ia
th.»t the law simply requires him to ascer-
taia and declare the result as given by the
B^jard of Canvassers, and to issue there-
a-pon certificates to Presidential Electors
9 nd State officers who are found to have
foeen duly elected. His judicial powers, if
any, must, on such a theory, be of the most
limited character, and the Democratic de-
monstration in court seems to be chiefly in-
tended for effect on the North. In spite of
violence and trickery, the cause ef Tildkn

vThe Louisiana Returning Board is show-
hjg a scrupulous adherence to technical
. !biles calculated to disarm the hostility of
: the most fault-finding of Democrats. It
has decided to count only the votes for
Electora whose names were actually printed
on the ballots, and thus to deprive the
Eepublican ticket of the benefit of
the vary natural presumption that the
voters for Hayes intended to support the
full number of Republican Electors. The
board would certainly have been amply
justified in refusing to defeat the obvious
purpose of the voters beoatise of a blunder
in the printing of the ballets, and it seems
Wstljer a fine-drawn scrapie which pre-
Tented them from so doing. Bat the

closely to the letter of the law, no matter
which party is hurt, should certainly put an
end to the reckless imputations on their
methods and motives which have been so
freely bandied about by the Democratic
press. ^^____^__^_^_
Some opinions of prominent banker^ and
mei-chants are given in our news columns
to-day, "W^hich may help to explain the
phenomenon of a continued influx of gold
to the country, in the face of an exception-
ally low premium. These opinions find
appropriate illustration in the table fur-
nished from Washington, of imports from
Great Britain. From this it will be seen
that during the last ten months wo have
imported 35,000,000 yards, or nearly fifty per
cent., less of cotton fabrics than we did for
the same period last year : that linen goods
show a falling off to the extent of 22,000,000
yards, or about twenty-five per 9ent.;
that we have imported forty per cent, less of
British earthen and china ware, aud thirty per
cent, less of hardware and cutlery, than we did
in 1875. The imports of woolen cloths have
diminished by nearly one-half, of worsted
stuffs by one-fifth, and of carpets by one-
half. As the volume of our exports has suf-
fered but little, if any, diminution, and as
the balance can be remitted more cheaply in
specie than in any other form, the influx of
gold and silver is not very difficult to ex-
plain.
SJSTTLINa DOWN TO DEFEAT.
The journals which are supposed to de-
rive their inspiration from Mr. Tilden, and
which, in their discussions, certainly give
evidence ot his oversight, are singularly
reticent with regard to the position of af-
fairs in South Carolina. They have little
to say as to the possibility of conflict be-
tween the members of the Keturning Board
and the Supreme Court, and they have
ceased to mock the common sense '^f
their readers by pretending that any
conceivable issue of the conflict, if
it occurred, cau be of the slightest
use to Mr. Tildkn or his party. This sign
of returning reason comes late, but not too
late to assist in restraining the mischievous
feeling which persistent misrepresentation
and falsehood have occasioned. For a time,
perhaps, a certain proportion of Mr. Til-
den's supporters really believed that he
had been elected, and that his title to the
Presidency was jeopardized by fraud. But
the pretenses which deceived them were too
transparently false to endnre the strain
they have experienced, and one after
another they hffve disappeared, leaving
the victims of misplaced confidence
in no mood to endure further appeals to
their credulity. They had been told that
Ohio, Wisconsin, Oregon, and California
were theirs, and they found that not one of
these States were ever in doubt, and that
the claim, from first to last, was known to
be untenable by the managers who set it
forth. Attention was then concentrated
upon the three disputed Southern States.
Fraud was imputed in each of them. In
each, however, the conduct of the Return-
ing Board has vindicated the integrity
of its members, and divested the Demo-
cratic allegations of the last particle of
plausibility. There has been no con-
cealment, no equivocation, by any of them.
The South Carolina board, accepting the
Democratic suggestion, counted the returns
as they appear on their face, and found tbe
Republican Electors elected. From that
moment, no vestige of hope for Mr. Tilde n
remained in South Carolina. Whatever
room for controversy there might be in re-
spect to the State ticket, there could be
none as to the Presidential vote. The only
question was whether the majority for the
Hayes Electors should be six ' or seven
hundred, as it appeared on the gross re-
turns, or ten times tha^jaumber, as i^ would
have appeared had tlie votes in the various
counties been subjected to thorough scru-
tiny. Hence the indifference now shown
by thei Tilden journals in this latitude to
the quarrel which the indecent conduct of
the South Carolina Supreme Court has pro-
vokedi Its effect upon the Ibrtmies of Mr.
Wade Hampton, and upon the temper of
the t^o Judges who undertook to sell what,
appaiiantly, they are unable to deliver, we
need not inquire. The material fact is that
the Tilden papers have finally dropped
South Carolina as a State in dispute, and
that, with unwonted discretion, they de-
cline to identify themselves with the trav-
esty of law that would make Judge Moses
infamous if his professional standing were
not already determined.
It TOa^ be safely assumed that the same
course will be pursued when the proceed-
ings in Louisiana and Florida reach the
stage at which further falsification becomes
impossible. Under certain conditions, we
might be disposed to ascribe to pluck the
perseverance which ignores the inevitable
until it actually comes to pass. But there
is ao true courage in the desperate tactics
employed by the Democratic managers
to break the force of defeat at Tallahassee
and New-Orleans. The same disregard of
lawful State authority which was manifest
at Columbia, the same pursuit of unworthy
ends by ignoble means, the same audacious
presentation of claims that are known to be
untenable — are all evident in the manage-
ment of the Democratic case in Louisiana.
There may or may not be ^ Democratic ma-
jority on the face of the returns as received ;
but though we have had an infinite amount
of bluster, and many displays of a char-
acteristically truculent temper, ^we have
seen no specific denial of the fact
that the returns from some parishes are
altogether fraudulent, and that the scrutiny
which the board is empowered to make will
place beyond doubt the success ot the Re-
publican ticket, National and State, by de-
cisive majorities. In resisting tlie processes
that must lead to this result, the Democrats
are si&ply playing the game that they had
already played in South Carolina, with even
a stronger assurance Df impending defeat.
When that can be concealed no longer,
doubtless Mr. Tildkn's newspapers will
quickly accept the situation.
WiU they, therefore, forego attempts to
foster a spirit of mischief among the mem-
bers of their party in the House of Repre-
sentatives f Is the revolutionary programme
promulgated by the World, and indorsed by
Mr. Clarkson N. Potter, to be abandoned ?
May we assume that the Democratic House
will not precipitate a conflict with other
branches of the Government, or, by reckless
partisanship, endeavor to delay the final
formalitieB of the Presidential election f
TIfiMe Qoeitlo&s o&aanot vet be auiwetad i ii thtt
affirmative. The party has desperate leaders,
who may do their utmost to bring about
the dead-lock which Mr. Pottkk has tried
to justify. These things, however, cannot
happen before February, and the interval
is long enough to develop that sober sec-
ond thought which" may keep even the
Democratic Party from rushing upon de-
struction. Had the counting at Washing-
ton followed immediately the counting by
the States, within two or three weeks after
the election, the constitutional system
might have been strained to the verge of
breaking. Popular feeling was excited,
and pijudential counsels might have been un-
heeded. We might have had bloodshed and
civil war. The great body of the people
have already outgrown the passions which
then prevailed, and look calmly upon the con-
test and its consequences. A few hot-headed
adherents of Tilden vex the country with
their senseless cries, and it is only necessary
to glance ov^ the papers which come to us
from Mississippi and,oth6r points of the South
to perceive that that section has still a plen-
tiful supply of idiotic editors. But there is
an abundance of Democrats who have no
liking for the fools who advocate murder as
apolitical argument, and no disposition to
tolerate Mr. Pot fee's scheme of a two-
headed Presidency. Gradually, but surely,
this temperate element in the Demo-
cratic ranks will assert itself in con-
iunction with the Republicans, and with
the entire non-partisan body of citizens, on
tho side of law and order. These influ-
ences, united, will be irresistible. Disputes
may arise, of course. Complications there
will be, perhaps, proceeding naturally from
circumstances not explicitly provided for
in the Constitution. They cau be rendered
perilous only by making patriotism subor-
diuate to^ partisanship, and by setting up
passion as superior to law. We have suffi-
cient tjonfidence in the American people to
believe that,4f such a crisis arise, they will
treat it with the moderation and firmness
which will divest it of danger.
RUSSIA AND TBE CONFERENCE.
The English Tory press are apparently
unanimous "in assuming that the Czar's
paOific intentions, expressed in his conver-
sation with Lord LoFiut*, the British Am-
bassador, on Nov. 2, are purely imaginary.
In this , conversation, and in a dispatch of
Prince Gohtschakoff to the Russian Am-
bassador in London of Nov. 7, the Russian
Government denies all design of dismem-
bering Turkey, or of acquiring Constanti-
nople. Personally, the Czar disclaimed
this ambition in the strongest language,
and stated that the only object of Russia
in all this was the amelioration of the con-
dition of the Christians under Turkey;
while he scouted as absurd the project o?a
future conquest of India by the Russians.
Th^se mUd and reasonable words are
thought by the Conservative Party of Eng-
land to be entirely inconsistent with the
mobilization of the Army and the placing a
new loan by the Russian Government. Th/"
Marquis of Salisbury — a man who is much
respected even by his political opponents
— on the other hand, is reported to
have expressed much |Confideuce in tbe
Czar's pacific intentions, and will no doubt
enter the conference as representative of
Great Britain disposed to put every rea-
sonable confidence in the words of the
Czar.
It must be remembered, in weighing the
intentions of the Russian Government, that
there are virtually now two powerful
parties in Russia j one, represented by the
Emperor and many of the nobility, sincerely
desirous of peace, while the other, led by
the Prince and supported by the Army aud
the masses of the people, is anxious for war
against its old enemies— the Turks. The
Czar has been forced to yield to the pojaular
impulse, and, in order /to save Servia, has
presented a peremptory ultimatum to
Turkey. He has put himself and the Em-
pire in such a position that he must support
words by deeds, aud if he did not arm and
prepare means of war, he might suddenly
by a burst of fanaticism of the Turks, be
driven to a declaration without any prepa-
ration, and have the disgrace of seeing
Servia utterly wasted, aud even email Rus-
sian corps defeated, because he was not
ready. Even if he were determined on a
reasonable peace, he must arm. The^^e is no
alternative. The whole loan of $50,000,000
has already been used, it is said, in merely
equipping and refurnishing the Army.
Should the conference meet and adjourn
with no guarantees that the Christian raijahs
would be protected, or reasonable reforms
carried out, obviously Russia must demand
securities with arms or forever lose her po-
sition as protector of the Eastern Christians
against the Moslem. Ia fact, such a result
would probably cost the Czar his crown.
The very position of Russia requires that
her demands be backed up by guns and men.
The future conduct of the Porte is not to be
measured by European and civilized prece-
dents. The Sultan has too often promised
reforms in the face of danger and forgotten
them when secure. It is claimed that the
great reform which Sir Stratford de Eed-
CLIFFG thought he had obtaiued in 1856, of
the testimony of Christians beini; received
with that of Mohammedans, has really never
yet been catried out m many portions ot the
Empire. T|ie Sclavouian carjnot trust the
Moslem. Ho has been taught by too bit-
ter experience that a Mohammedan
pledge to the Christian i^ the weak-
est bond. The Muscovite Ambassador,
then, must claim either occupation by the
joint powers, or such Russian supervision
as will secure justice to the unfortunate
Christians, Turkey may easily refuse this.
Hence the necessity of the Russian prepar-
ations.
Wo still, however, hold to the opinion we
have expiesaod from the begiauing, that
this great question will be settled without
a general war. So groat a pressure wLtl be
brought to bear upon Turkey in the con-
ference that she must yield. Aud it is
doubtful if Europe will not, on the whole,
support Prince Gortschakoff when lie de-
mands such autonomy in the disturbed pro-
vinces as will protect the Christians and re-
strain the tyranny of the Saltan. Oa such a
point there should be no reasonable opposi-
tion by any power to the Russian demands.
England's interest and feeling are with
such a settlement as much as RussLa'd. The
British deputy to the conference is said by
no means to share his leader's sympathy
witlir tlie Turk. Ha has had experience in
Indi^ m governing disaffected provinces,
parent^ supremacy of the ruler were ob-
served. He has had the opportunity also of
seeing there the true spirit of Mohamme-
danism, and knows what it must do if left
to itself. Hecertainly will not show what
is charged to be the British weakness, of
toadying to Mohammedanism in order tokeep
the barbarous population of North India in
good humor. Provided only Turkey be not
broken up, we believe almost any other
measure of repression will be acceptable to
the conference. Yet it must never be for-
gotten that there is no permanent solution
of the Eastern question till Turkey is
driven out of Europe. Any other settlement
will be a patching over of what cannot be
mended.
CHANGES IN ORIENTAL TRADE.
The reported failure of one of the large
Aperican business houses in the East In-
cudes a short time since, a report that has
since been contradicted, has brought to pub-
lic attention the changes, both financial and
social, that these great mercantile, houses
have undergone during the past ten or
twelve years. The manner in which busi-
ness was conducted by the English and
American residents in the principal sea-
ports of China and the East Indies, prior
to the close of our civil war, has no parallel
in modern copamorcial relations, and in
Order to find one we should probably have
to go back to the days of the maritime re-
publics of Italy, when true social distinc-
tion and the successful prosecution of trade
were held to be co-ordinate in popular esti-
mation. No doubt this combined social and
commercial spirit, which was found alike
in Hong Kong and Calcutta, was an out-
growth of the system established by the
officials of the East India Company before
that organization passed into happy obliv-
ion ; but it continued after this event, and
has only of late yielded to the pressure of
mercantile competition^
Those enterprising merchants who somfe
forty years ago established the houses in
China and the East Indies that have since
been familiarly known to business men all
over the world, found themselves in the
possession of a rich and untried field,
where the exercise of shrewd judgment and
mode/ate^ effort produced exceptionally
fortunate results. The one drawback to
this was, that while living in that remote
corner of the globe they were shut off from
the social adyantages of more civilized
communities. Telegraphs, railways, and
steamers that would in any way facilitate
intercommunication between such distant
points as Western Europe, America, and
Asia, were then unknown, and the foreign
settlement at each port was thrown pretty
thoroughly upon itself for everything that
would make the life there other than
a dismal routine. Of course, where such
mutual dependence existed, discordant
elements were to be dreaded and avoided ^
and thus in the selection of young
men from this country and England who
were to begin active life with subordinate
' places in these mercantile establishments,
the principals, with rare good sense, selected
those whose social position and education
at home qualified them to be gentlemanly
in manner and companionable wherever
they might be, Upop reaching his port of
destination, the dignity of his position was
speedily impressed upon the new arrival.
He was placed on a footing of social equali ty
with the resident head of the house with
which he was fconnected; while the affairs
of the common household of which he was a
member were carried on, at the cost of the
firm, with a degree of style and lavisbness
of expenditure to be met with in few pri-
vate establishments in this country. To
this, in time, were added an over-formality
in dress and that precision of manner which
is ordinarily denoted as the " old school."
However, all this was in 'harmony with the
spirit of Oriental opulence and luxuriance
in -which these business enterprises were
carried on: arid what would have seemed
highly absurd in clerks in dry-goods or
leather stores on Worth street or in "the
Swamp," was in no way out of place in the
young man who had his apartments in a
huge stone palace ot a building, and was
waited upon by a dozen coolies. Money was
easily made, and the heads of the various
houses liked to encourage a generous mode
of living. Indeed, so thoroughly was this
the case, that it is stated that ic used to cost
one of the large English hoiises some fifty
thousand dollars per annum to maintain its
domestic establishment at Hong Kong, this,
of course, in no way including salaries and
business expenditures.
It can readily be seen that a system of
this kind could only be maintained in pros-
perous times, and that it must go down
when subjected to continued business re-
verses or outside competition. Such was
the case in the present instance. With the
introduction of a regular steam communica-
tion between the East and the West, large
numbers of persons found their way out to
these distant places, and, beginning busi-
ness, were willing to do it at a much
lower rate than their aristocratic rivals
Many of these late comers were Grarmans,
who did not consider it necessary to import
their clerks for social cousid-eratious, but
after hiring them for a few hundred dol-
lars a year, made them board and lodge
themselves. For quite a while the acquired
reputation of the older houses gave them
still a great advantage, and during the years
of our civil war, a time in which specula-
tion seems to have run riot over all
the world, large sums of money were made
and the old habits of life continued. But
since the year 1865 a great change has taken
place. One by one the oldest and strongest
houses have gone down. Men no longer go
to China or India with the idea that they
may return in eight or ten years with a for-
tune; but if they go with any clear appre-
ciation of what is before them, it is with
the knowledijo that they will have to con-
tent themselves, as most business men do
with us, with a small margin of profit, and
acquire a competency only after long years
of eftbrt.
The singular fact seems to have devel-
oped itself in the international competition
going on in Eastern countries, that those
nationalities who are most successful m
mechanical pursuits are least successful m
trade and finance. It will be generally ad-
mitted that in mechanical inventions in
which the least amount of waste in power
or material is detected and prevented, the
English and Americans excel all other peo-
ple. We may wonder at the crude methods
•wheite the riahta of the anbteot and the «>- 1 of weaving and aoinninc; in vojrue in CJer-
many, which produce soch a comparatively
small amount for the labor bestowed, or
at the semi-civilized manner in which
farming is carried on in Greece; and yet
both Germans and Greeks, in the keen com-
petition that has of late gone on at the East,
have well-nigh driven the English and
American business houses out of existence.
The trade is now very largely in their bands,
and the great business houses of the past are
now but faded shadows of their former
selves. Doubtless, we all profit by this in
getting our teas, jute, china, and indigo at
lower prices than we were formerly wont to
do; but there are those among us who will
regret the saving now that it is made at the
expense of a system which gave to the trade
with China and the East Indies a high social
and moral tone, which has altogether passed
away in the dicker and barter of to-day.
.••>i.T - *"
THE WHEELBARROW IN POLITICS.
It is undeniable that the American is fond
of betting on electio^8. He does this from
a variety of motives. Sometimes he bets
because he is anxious to know who is to be
elected, and remembers the reply of that
profound investigator. Sir Isaac Newton,
to an ignorant person who questioned the
cruth of the theory of gravitation— "How
can you find out whether anything is true
or not unless you bet on it ?" At other times
he bets because he is confident as to what
the result will be, and desirous of winning
money and hats. And, finally, he bets be-
cause he is a cheerful idiot, who longs to be
publicly wheeled in a wheelbarrow, or to
witness a congenial display of idiocy on the
part of his opponent.
The extent to whic^ the wheelbarrow
promotes our system of popular govern-
ment is one of the first things which strikes
an intelligent foreigner who visits this
country immediately after an election, and.
travels from New- York to Niagara Falls andj
thence to Canada, in order to thoroughljl
study American institutions. On every!
road men are seen solemnly wheeling w^heel--
barrows which contain barrels of flour,
barrels of apples, or exultant citizens. Oc|
casionally the electoral wheelbarrow iq
empty-^thus indicating that the intellect oi
the wheeler or of his betting opponent has
been able to grasp the bold conception of
an empty wheelbarrow, but has proved too
feeble to simultaneously grapple with the
idea of a wheelbarrow laden with citizens
or barrels. All over the country the wheeler
and the wheeled pursue their solemn way
until they have accomplished the full mis-
sion of their idiocy as prescribed by the
conditions of their respective wagers. The
spectacle is one which necessarily fills the
thoughtful foreigner with amazement, and
it was perhaps only natural that the distin-
guished Italian historian and essayist.
Signer G. Maccheboni, should have mis-
takenly asserted in Lis Storia Politica Degli
ttuti Uniti, that " after an election the de-
feated party is always wheeled by its suc-
cessful antagonists many miles into the
gloomy interior of that vast and savage
country, where it is compelled to remain in
exile until the next election, subsisting ex-
clusively upon fiour and apples, and cruelly
deprived of the consolations of music and
monkeys."
There is no doubt that the man who
makes a wheelbarrow bet fancies that if he
is publicly wheeled by his opponent, the
latter will be covered with ridicule. Here-
in he shows a hopeless idiocy, nearly allied
to that which is evinced by the alleged per-
sons who bit off' their personal noses in order
to spite their respective faces. The wheeler
is vastly less ridiculous thau the wheeled.
The latter cannot possibly maintain a dig-
nified .appearance when huddled together
in a wheelbarrow, built without the slight-
est reference to the exigencies of the human
legs, while the former has the priceless pri-
vilege of wheeling him over every stone in
the road, and thus bumping him until he
is unable to remember whether he was
originally flavored with lemon or vanilla,
and utterly careless as to what form of
mold he is to be emptied into at the end of
his ride. It is the wheeled and not the
wheeler who absorbs the interest of the
small boy, and the fact that he cannot extri-
cate himself from a wheelbarrow in motion
in order to pursue a juvenile humorist
renders him the target of every sarcastic
cat and ironical cabbage that the small boy
can bring to his attention.
It is possible that a vague perception of
the disadvantages of being wheeled may
have led the less violent idiots to restrict
their wheelbaiTow bets to the wheeling of bar-
rels of apples and of barrels of flour. The
man who wheels a heavy barrel for several
miles, while his successful opponent fol-
lows in a carriage and reads the elec-
tion retui-ns in a loud and cheerful voice,
is naturally, in public estimation, the more
pitiable idiot of the two. But even he has
at his command the moafiis of relieving him-
self of kis task, and of achie'ring sudden
popularity. He has only to upset his bar-,
rel in a croTrded street, and to- sit quietly
on the curb stone until the last apple or the
layt pound of flout' has been carried off by
the grateful poxjulace. It is a convincing
evideuce of the weakness ot the wheelbar-
row idiot that he rarely thinks of this de-
vice, but calmly wheels his barrel to his
own home and then confiscates it. Of
course, if he thus prefers theft aud ridicule
to ease aud popularity, it is his own affair,
but it is sufficiently clear that no one with
any glimmeriag of sense need look noon the
wheeling of electoral barrels aa a burden-
some penalty for rash betting.
'J'he receut Presidential election, the result
of which has not yet been officially declared,
owing to the determined effort of the
Republicans to keep back the returns with
the view of counting out Peteu Coopek,
affords an excellent opportunity for the
final withdrawal of the wheelbarrow from
American politics. The uncertaiuty which
has for so many days prevented the
payment of bets has caused the wheel-
barrow betters to lose all interest in
their prospective wheeling. A torch-liglit
procession by daylight, waving banners
inscribed with the names of last yeai-'s
defeated candidates, would be cheerful in
comparison with "feats of public wheeling
performed in connection with the election,
of which we are now all so thoroughly tired.
Thus, it is highly improbable that this
year's wheelbarrow wagers will be paid,
and there is hence an opi>ortunity for people
to seriously ask themselves what good
puri)ose such wa-jora can possibly serve '?
Whiit benefit will the country derive if Mr.
Bowles shonld nersist in whecliuir a rival
editor from Springfield to Boston ? Could
the former nominate Mr. Adams with any
more vigor and constancy than he has
hitherto done, and could tbe liatter conduct
his paper any better for being bumped into
a mass of palpitating protaplasmf Let
these great men set the noble example of
voluntarily canceling their bet, and let,-
them henceforth urge upon the people the
duty and expediency of totally eliminating
the wheelbarrow from the political arena.

over one hundred and forty-five thousand. Several

changed the result, but the board had
already waited three days for them and proceeded
to exercise the discretion lodged in their hands by
law, and canvassed those votes which liad been re-

from this sonroe show the above increase there wsf
a falling off in the qtianttty of spirits opon whicb
tax was paid of 6,409,663 gallons. The ezcea* of re-

"Washinoxom, Nov. !i4.— .William P. Wood,
az-T7aitfld State* Detvottre^ of oonslderabl* noto-
rtetj, wtoto a lott«r iMk September to Ssm Fel-
k*!*, aUo a notarious deteotire firom Chioatro,. which
letter is yrinted by the X^nMiean thia morning,
apiMii-entl; to ahow that the (Swi received the in-
formation lor Ita Xharsday's seniation from
Wood. The letter is very long and dis-
connaoted. It elaooratea at great lenirth the
alqiole atatemant that BalMsook waa Innocent of
oomplioity in the safe borglary, but that hi* de-
fenae ooatd not be made oat withoat information in
the sole possesion of Wooa ; that Palker was
workinft up the case for Babcook and wanted to
aeoTtre Wood's aid, who declined because Felker had
deceived him about appointments. Felker had often
aasored Wood that the President had promised him
[FelkerJ the position of Chief of the Secret Service,
and tbo specified dates had passed so otten that
Wood ctHictudod the promises were a device of
FeUcer to secure kis services. Wood relates his
Crtavaaeaa 'with the Admialstration. He reminds
Feiker of eome of his misdeeds, and names con-
ditions on which he will assist in ti)e vindication
of Babcook. The olosinK part of the letter is as
follows-:
X owe the present Administration no allegiance,
no gratitude, no oblisatlon, or reverence, and have
it yet iu my power to do much damage. There are
matters not ^Vet too late for trouble, or too private
for pubiioity, which 1 intend for the Sun. Xou per-
suaded me out of tbac with moreof your sophistry;
but now Mr. Dana urges me, in the most coaxioK
Btyle, for the aubjeot, tozetJier with the papers,
whioh are not destroTod, as supoosed, for
Whioa he offers rae a very liberal sum, flvethou»ana
dollars. You guessed my business, and again re-
qaest a ces^tion uf hostilities. I shall entertain
your request only until I know of your appoint-
ment or disappointment. I could not or would not
hold otfloe myself under the present AdminiatraUon,
yet I wtil serve them if they appoint you, as if I en-
loTed their patronage and confidence, Sam, you
know your prooeuess to exhibit my letters to your
fri(ii)4«, and collate my oorrospondenoe for future
refereuce. Tbis leiter must not get into the «08-
aessioo of anyoue. No copy or extract must b©
tftken therefrom. Ton mar hold it as evidenoe of
uy oomptiance as conditioned, but in case you are
M» appointed, leave this latter with one of my sons
mKo. 487iklaryiaBa avenue. A» ever your mend,
P.P.
The letter was undoubtedly written with a cer-
Auaty in the mind of the writer that Feiker would
IKiat It, and, of course, its statements are to be
takm with the greatest allowance. It is important
eluefly as a part of a controversy whioh is likely
te \aisz out considerable ooiioealed testimony
tH the whisky and other oaaea. A. gentle-
aaaa who has seen all the letters which
ike deteetives ara peddling about says there is not
the slightest thing in any of them imolicating the
President, or which would be for a moment ac-
cepted as evidence against him. They were exam-
ined by Demeeratic authbntiea betora the ele'ction,
and refused as valueless. Ifi theretore, Wood has
Bade a trade with the Sun and secured 15,000, he
has seeminslj struck a good bargain.

AMVSKMENTS.
MME. ESSIPOFF'S CONCERT^.
Mme. Annette Esaipoff appeared- at Steinway
Hall last evening for the sixth time. The most im-
portant number of the programme T^as Schumann's
"Camaval." This composition, wnich consists of
eighteen scinet mignonnes, has positive inter-
est for the piano student, but slight im-
pressiveness only upon the rather misoeDaneous
audience of music-lovers brought together whel^the
fourth or fifth hearing of an artist is announced.
Schumann's " Camaval," bowever, must be part of
a pismst's rfipertoire, atid it is quite possible that
its omisaiun might sug.gest to the suspicious an in-
tentional avoidance of what many consider as a
musical test. Mme. EHslpoff had no reason what-
ever to fear that the resources of her tech-
nique would not bo equal to the de-
mands of the piece, and its peTformance
was therefore quite Judicious. The little ohar-
acter-sicetchos of which the " Camaval " is made
up exact BO little imaginativeness and, mainly, a
toucu of imm^-nse variety. They run throuzh
every conceivable tempo, and the shading of which
they are susceptible ranges from the most delicate
pianissimo to the most vigorous forre. Mme,
EssipofTs sensibilit.y was responsive to every mood
of the composer, and her facile style — as facile in,
the quick movement of "Papillons" as in
the sonorous meaanres of the " Marohe des
Davidsbiiadler " — redeemed " Camaval " from the
charge of monotony, to w hich anything falling short
of an exceptionally-good rendering must give birth.
In addition to this composition, Mme. Essipoff
played with great daintiness of conception and
beauty of" tone a nocturne by Field,- and, with infi-
nite ease and brilliancy, a br^ht and fanoifal inter-
mezzo by Dr. Von Eiilow. These selections con-
stituted her share of the first part of
the programme ; in the second, she interpreted
Chopin's "Chant Polonais," arranged by Liszt, and
a very delicate and poetical nuipber, and a "Marcbe
MiUtaire," in wliich the pretentious treatment ot a
commonplace theme seemed scarcely worthy of
Schubert and Taussig, its composers. M. Vivien
rendered for the first time WieniaWskiis "Caprice
Fantastiqne," and dealt with it more bappiiy than
with, tbe virtUBo's "Polonaise," and Mrs. Oliver
sangl two lagabrioua songs.

OVKT THE BALTIMORE AND PHILADEL-
PHIA TRUNK H\ES.
Special Dispatch to the New-Tork Time*.
Chicago, Nov. 24. — For several days past it
has been rumored in railroad circles here that the
war between the New-York Central and the Balti-
more and Philadelphia trunk lines is prac-
tically ended. This is stoutly denied
by local representatives of the latter
lines. Notwithatanoing this, however,
tue officers and agents of the Western roads cen-
tering here stick to it that compromise baa been
effected, and that Mr. Vanderbilt has practically
carried bis point. He baa obstinately contended for
a common rate from Chicagh to all seaboard
points. Among railroad men here m Chi-
cago there is more than an impression that the com-
promise agreed upon is this : that the same
rate shall be charged by all the lines for all export
grain, but that a concession is made in faTor of the
Baltimore in rate on local grain, or in other words,
consignments of grain destined only to seaboard
ports tor consumption there. It is claimed that
this concession is iu figures, two and a half cents to
Baltimore, and two cents to Philadelphia. Railroad
men say that this is a victory f )r Mr. Vanderbilt,
for tne reason that a division of local and export
shipments at the seaboard is impracticable, when
this i« shown to be a fact:, the Southern trunli lines
must either withdraw from the arrangemeur, and
cause another riimaus, or consent (o carry grain at
export ratefl, which means equal rates to all points
on the seaboaro.

he replied :
" Simply for this : It.ls mane of the sweetest and

tion. Less is required to poiforio thn aame purpose,
and it is the pleiiaaatest of all toliet soaps to use. The

We believe th.at with one excepetion this authoress
may be classed as tha most popular writer of fiction of
her sex. The reasons are manifold : In her storiea the
plot ia ever simple, but yet ot intense interest; her
ideal characters are aketc bed with coosumate skill;
they are never crowded on the mimic scene, yet thus
afford contrasts that vividly attract the reader's
Imagination ; added to this, a bright, witty dialogue,
a charming descriptive power, and a groat depth of
pathos, aud we have summed up the attributea that
distingulsb Rhoda Broughton.

From the Tribune. •:
Tnii new and beautiful edition should have a per-
manent place in every intelligent household In the
country. The paper, typography, and lliuatrations are
alil;e excellent, and fitly embalm the life's work of one
of the chief founders of our literature.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
ItisKOttoomncli toaay that, in tbe United States,
Bryant stands in the first rank, to which he waa ad.
mitted quite early Id his literary life, when the decided
evlJenoe of brilliancy he had given in " Thanatopsis"
had been more than sustained.
From the Bart/ordJ'ost.
In every respect the work is an excellent contribu-
tion to the pnVlioations of the .year, ani .Mr. Bryant
mi<y well congratulate himself on the superb setting
which his jewels of tbouzht have been favored with.
li-cm the Jforthem Christian Advocate.
What new thing can be said of our laureate 1 He
who has enriched our literature with beauty after
besuty during threescore years, whom our Legislature
baa stooped to reverence, and to -whom the people have
presented such a tribute of esteem as was never of-
fered to any writer on thia continent before, aud yet
whose wiltinga always came forth spontaneously, un-
purchased, needs not to be advertised now.
Fr<m the Albany Tints.
His name is classical in the literature of the lan-
guage. Wherever English poetry is read and loved,
his poems are known by heart. Others before him
have sung the beauties of creation and the greatness
of God, but no one ever observed external things more
closely, or transferred his impressions to paper in more
vivid colors. D. APPLETON & CO., Publishers,

UFEINSUBANCE HEBE AND ABBOID.
Ib joar dble artdole of the 13tli Inat., entitled
"7arfeltare« in Life Insurance," a oompariion i«
drawn between Amerioan and Baglish companies,
somewhat to the diaparaKement of the former. May
I be permitted to ooonp7 a brief apace in year vala-
aUe oolamnate explain awayany wrens impresslona
Uut miKht in cooseqaeccs be formed of the pnotioe
of Ufa insoranoe aa followed in this country.
I will aUade first to what yon say of the " period
of tiMa allowed for the payineot of beaewal preml-
aoM." Xhis in Great Britain ). fixed at one
oioiith, while prempt payment ii demanded
here, bnt the adrantaae of this grace to
tte assured is more Imaginary thstn. real.
It is ttoe that it slyea thirteen months in which to
prepace for the flrat renewal, bat afterward, with
tbe iraoe of eoorae inoIad*d, there are only inter.
T|da of twelye months between 8abseg,aent pay>
menta. In point of fact theret'ore a poUoy-holder in
aoa Xaxlish oompaay Kains nothing by the eenee8>
aion beyond the addiUonat time allowed him to
me^t the first reoorrlnit premlnm. Aa a rule the
grace is taken in Great Britain, (as with drafts and
billa of exchange,) bnt when it expirea, ana the pre-
mlnm that is due has not been paid, the policy is
M enoe and inexorably forfeited. American oom-
MBiea on the other hand shew much leniency in
ttifa respect when iatisfaetorr reasons are giyen for
a abort delay in tendering tne overdae premiam.
In the reatoration of policies the British is not
^ora "aooommedatine"thaa the New- York oom-
ipany. The aaestion of forfeiture U regarded alike
pS both. The contract la aanalled by a non-fnlfiU-
teent of ita terms, andean only be renewed nnder
ittia sam* ooaaitions tnat had existed at tbe oatset.
bCbe health of the applicant mast be as good as whan
•he pplloy was originally issued ; there is no hard-
jaklp in this, aa those who are teobnloally known as
^ -•, Urea seldom forfeit their insoranoe. The
laompanlea in both ooontnea are OQaallyJletermfned
•n thia point.
The "dropping of immense nnmbera of vollcles
Iwbioh in the ag£reKat9\;cepre8ent a very heayy loss
it» peliOT-holdera" is nnqaestionably an eyil, bat
;]iot of a magnitude to the aaanred that might be
aivpoaed, aa three^onrtbs of the forfeited policiea
are leaa than three years old, npon which bnt little
has been paid. "When fonnd desirable in after years
"te "eloae the transaction," an equitable enrrender
vahte cam alwaya be obtained trom first-class com-
panies in New' York, except when it is maiaally
agreed that tbere shall be no surrender yalue. The
Beoteh oompanles, who are less restricted Oy law
la Uie ebamoter of iheir inyestiaeuta than ia the
CMO in Snsland, and who conseqaently seonre a
Mgher race of interest, aire tbereoy enabled to be
more liberal m porchaaing surrendered policies
toan are the great majority of Eeghsb ofiBces; and
Ibc. the aame reason the American eompaniea do
Mter than the Scotch,
if there is mere htie«tion here than abroad arising
oMof conflicting Insoranoe interests, it is not the
Usalt of the eompaniea, who are constantly tbe yic-
time ef impositioo, and rarely have tbe sympathy
of the public. The bnalness, moreover, ia spread
over a wide extent of country, and ia subject to the
diffarent enactments of didtinot States. In Eog-
land there ia bnt one tribunal, which much simpli-
flisa the settlement of dispates. At tbe same time
It must not be forgotten that the nomber of tbe as-
■ued in thia oonntry, is yaatly greater tban it is in
ISngiand, and conseqaently ttiere are m proporUon
many more nocertalu claims to be adiaated.
1 have taken the liberty, Sir, of addressiof; yon
pore at length than the oooasion may warrant, bat
Ifbel that jaatioe aboold be done to the lUe insu-
zanea eompaaies of ' this oaunixy. Their growth
nod yroaperity baa been something maryelloas, and

▲uaoi«te of the lastitnte ef Actaanes, London.
Huit OsAXGE, Tneaday, Noy. 14, 1876.
IXtaer* IS bo attle respect for dignitiea in this
Montry, that an "Associate of the Institute of
,4otiuriea " mtut permit na to doubt the aoonracy
•f aoma of hia statements. He has generalized
• littlf too aweepingiy. "Leniency" in regard
«• renewal premiams ia exceptional on both sides
sf tne Atlantic We axe sure, howeyer, that no
0«r»Uei cao be fonnd among British companies to
t&a cenrse porsaed by some American companies —
the CoBtinental, for exwnple — whereby the permit
tat a brief delay ia taiade tbe basia of a new con-
trMt, with all the aafegoards for the company, and
all the risks borne by the insured. If Mr. Ashmore
rffera to the form employed by the Continental
Ceapany^ aa a aample ot tne class, ha will discoyer
tiat hla politenaaa toward American com panic,
kaa led him into a miatake. On another point he
la atUl more at fault. There can be no compariaon
in leapact of liberality between American oom-
paoiea and Scotch companies in de^Ung with sur-
rendertd policiea. The qaestion ia not one of pro-
feaaion bat of practice. And we ranture to say
tt»t Mr. Ashmere can fiisd no ordinary case
la wluch a New- York company baa aot-
•d with the UberalHy that characterizes
th« Seottiah Widowa' JTond and th» Scottish Fres-
Uflot la closing with peraona who desire to snrren-
dar their poUdea. Tlte praotioa of the Scottish
•ompaolM is goyemed by jast rules, which are ap .
pUaable toall) here it la mora frequently a matte r
«t omgtlo* or peraonal influenco. As regards litiga*
Hoai, thwe really ean bo no eompariaoa. Every-
bedy here knows that the risk of llngaiion aerlous-
iy detracts from the yalue of life insurance. Not a
■Mmth passes In which one or another oi oar great
•MBpanie* doea not appear as a party to suiu
teooj^t for the reccyery of sums coyered by poll.
•laa on the iiyea ef persons deceased. Some ef the
eompaniea are undoubtedly more litigioos than oth-
•ra } two or three are dlsgracefuily so ; but tne
[tendency to ralae dupates, and to force them into
^onrta of lav. la ontiormly much too great
jConttaat thia with the course of the-
ficottiab Widowa' Fond, which, in some-
jtUag Uke sixty years, has never disputed a
ptdieyl The apology which Mr. Ashmore offers for
,tlil« unpleasant feature of the Amerisan business
ila altogether inadequate. In the firat place, the'
daagaroTu expansion, which be assigns as an ezouse,
la one of the siima of donbtful management. Beally
earefol managers would not extend their business
taw districta so remote tbat no efficient check can
'fee pnt npon the proceedings of agents, and so
aparaely peopled tbat competent medical examiners
eaaaot be bad. It were better to do less buslneas,
aaa to do it safely and satisfactorily, than to cover
STaat eontineat with agencies oyer wbloh systs-
taatio supervision is impossible. In the next place,
^iOnt from this evil of undue expansion, there can
>eao doubt tbat a fandamental difference exists in
the methods adopted by American eompaaies, and
by the better olass of British companies, for tbe
acquisition of basmeas. Mr. Ashmore must be pre-
■waed to know how thoroughly the latter examine
an application t>efore acoepting the nsk — how care
fclly the applicant himself is examined, how his-
family hlatory ia investigated, and how rigidly oon-
fli-matory testimony is exacted. The examination
Is a reality, and when the risk Is accepted, little
room for doabt remains. Even this, as Mr. Ash-
more ia aware, is terminated, ia many companies,
by the issue, after a few years, ot an Indisputable
policy, based upon an exhaustive and a final
sofatlny of facts. Mr. Ashmore cannot
pretend that aught appproaching this de-
gree of care prevails here. If he is
at all familiar with the matter he dispones of so
eortly, he cannot be unaware of the looseness
WlA which the business is conducted. The medi-
cal examinattoa is very often little more tban a tor-
mality, and the other Inquiries are^more frequently
aegleoted than prosecuted with tbe care their impor-
tance requires. The explanation, we fear, is, that
our' companies, instead of takisK pains to clear up
deabta, in the first Instance, throw upon the in-
■nred tbe onus of suttaining his statements, and
teeerve to themselves the right of contesting the
Voliey when it becomes a claim. As for tbe " ad-
miration" which Mr. Ashmore remarks upon, we
■hould Hke to hear what competent foreign critics
now say of a system of State supsrvision which
enabled the Continental Company to open European
•CWieies and sell aimuities on tbe strength ot Irs
■^Jaadlag under the New-Tork law.

Permit^ma to olfer a few words of eritioism
in regard to tbe advertisement of Mme. Eesipoff's
concerts at Stein way HalL So great has been the
atteadaof e te boar tbla eharming performer that,
ta procure anything like good seats, it is found ab-
•olatriy necessary to secure tbe same several days
before the night selected. Lovers of music are al-
waya desirous to know the programme of pieces
to be performed before purchasing their seats.
2Taturaay, tbey turn to the dally papers
tot such items, but in' this instance without avail.

am anxious to hear Mme. Esaipoff to-morrow, bnt
would like to be posted as to the selection of music

This lilustration will suffice to explain the many
complaints I have heard on this subject. I there-
fore snggest to the managers that they give the

MORB LIGHT ON WOMAN'S EDUCATION.
r« tft* Bditor of tlie New- Vork Timet :
In your issue of the 18th proximo you pub-
liahed an article from a corteipondent, entitled
" The Higher Education of Women." You very
kindly accorded him space to ventilate bis ideas ;
Will yoa allow me, an hamble woman, the earn*
priTiIeg»f I presnme you will, Inst as I have pre-
sumed the writer of said article to be a man. He
says that many people begin to think tbat the
lower or fundamental education of women is more
essential and necessary tban tbe bi»:her, and with-
out it the higher branches availetb not. Well,
to a certain extent he Is right; neither
man nor woman is competent to undertake
nor able to underetand tbe higher branches
until the first rounds in the ladder of learning have
been passed. In experiments thus far made, I be-
lieve it is the uudisguted testimony of Professors
in these same collecres spoken of, that female stu-
dents are more tractable, more eager, and so tar as
their examioationa are concerned, quite as compe-
tent as the male student. Certainly the lady stu-
dents are straggling against fearful odds, tbe very
large ms^onty of them being poor, having flrsC to
earn their college fees before thoy enter, and then
to pursue their studies in addition to other daties
and oarea, such as are demanded by husband and
family, (a great many of them jeing married ladies;)
some going through a full college coarse identi-
cally the same as is required from male students,
and bearintr children at the same time, working
bravely and faithfully, knowing full well that they
are women and must stand a fierce fire of preludice
and opposition, which, while it is a great stimulus
te woman, is a disgrace to man ; for men hold and
control the public press, and it is a neglected duty
on their part tbat they f<iil to edacite tbe pablio
up to a atandard far above the petty preludices
existing against sex.
The next point the gentleman makes is " the fea-
ture whicb most excites suspicion in the mind of a
fresh observer is tbe small attention or respect fe-
male education commands from the upper classes of
society." Further on he makes the assertion that
our "female colleges do not represent the inherited
wealth, or gentle blood, or intellectaal ciQcuro of
mora than one generation — the established classes
are sure ultimately to adopt all social innovations
which prove themselves to be genuine improve-
ments, and it is only when thus approved that a so-
cial scheme rooeires ite charter as a permanent na-
tional institution." Well, there is, no doubt, a great
deal of wisdom m the above, but I would like to
know trom whence comes thia gentle blool,
tbi3 bigh-bred, thoroughly cultured class, from his
own remarks as regards the class of women he re-
fers to as becominsc " tbe standard of fominine
character tor the whole nation," it is evident tbat
money, not brains, is his idea of what constitutes
gentie-blood, &o. To'this I am compelled to say :
Nonsense; no such thing. Por inatance, "mer-
chants or professional men are the ones whose
daughters are to be representative yomen." Well,
that thing has always been so, and always will he
so, in a country where goid is both god and king.
The mass of said ladies are put through a course of
piano-forte practice, the execution of which is
enough to make the bones of Beethovenj, Mozart,
Handel, Haydn, GoitscUClk, and hosts of other
musicians writhe and turn in their graves.
The lYeneh (t) spoken by them is well adapted
to increase the Frenebman's shrus. Bat I
am not disposed to be unldnd. Oi oie fact I am
well assured, that of female oodeges in general and
female medical colleges m partwular, the cunculum
of study is the same as male colleges. Th.it these
female medical colleges are poor I am painfully
aware. If their students consisted largely of
wealthy women how different would it be. If tbe
daughters of wealth and fashion could or would
plod through such a coarse of study, difficult as it is
grand, what libraries and mateumd we would have.
It Miss Pltanoodle or Mrs. Silverleaf wished
to enter an institation of this kind, tbe wealth of
their own family and that of their friends would be
poured out in showers of eold. All America would
stand aghast at the wonderful genius of tbe gentle-
blooded, hiiih-bred, thoroughly-cultared Mrs, Silver-
leaf. The great magnets from afar and near would
rush to open wide their doors to admit this gem of
genius set in gold.
How is it with the poor graduate? Instead of
the welcome and honor she should receive, those
same noble women toss their heads, snkff their
delicate patriciau nostrils and shun one whose
only crime is lack c)f wealth. In this respect man
is aa bad as woman; if the rival be a lady physician,
tbe report is immediately set afloat tbat "she is an
abortionist, a quack, a oharlataa." Pie, fie, for
shame! Too long has woman been kept in shame-
ful ignorance ; too -long have the halls ot proper
education been closed in her face ; out when she
has, in spite of all opposition, mastered certain
studies and reseived her diploma from a regularly-
appointed board of professors and censors,
then let us not fling deiision and scorn
at her, but nobly and generously welcome her as a
shining example for others to foUaw. For those
already grown to woman's estate, let us do our
best; for young girls coming up and on the field,
let us guarantee to them, as my friend s lys, the
"broadest, best, and most liberzJ course of study we
can," interest women in tbe sciences, inatiuct them
in economy, both soeial and political, teach them
tbat they may in turn instruct the little ones in-
trusted to their care la the great principles of self-
government ; let their minds be made broad with
useful intormation, instil in the minds of girls,
as well as boys, the great wisdom of
Clay, Washington, Webster, and a host of
others who, though dead, still live.
One word for the public schooh. They were de-
eizued to be, were, and still should be the finest
schools or balls of education in the wuild. Latterly
tbey have fallen into the hands of priest and politi-
cal trickster. Arise ! men of New- York — drive out
the herd of demons that slowly but surely are sap-
ping the foundation of yotir country. Send your
children to these same schools ; s»a te it that they
are rightly and properly conducted ; let the manag-
ers be men and women of the highest moral char-
acter, men and women believing in America and its
institutions, and not toadies to foreign ideas and
manners. We have a graod couutry^let it be the
kind and noble benefactor it should be to all classes;
but when asked to give up these Institutions into
their hands, then the time baa come tor us to spurn
them from oui' doors. Manv of our best and brifiUD-
est men received their eaucation from our public
school*; to thulr usefulDess thua far we have only
to look, and compare the North and South. Let us
start out upou our socoud century wiih a determina-
tion to keep tills country and itsinstitutijus Amer-
ican. Let our curriculum ot studies be that tiest
suited to America and hur seeds. The ancient, course
was well enough a century ago, but we have a grand,
noble language of our own ; let our course be con-
ducted upon a purely English-speaking piinciple.
If an AmericHn goes abroad be masK ueeds study
the languaee of the land; when the stranger from
abroad comes into our midst let liim girtpole with
our language. All tbat is worth reading of bygone
years and tongues, we can procure tr^nbiated iu tbe
noble, glorious tongue of Scott, Milton, and
hundreds of bii;iht liuhts from our trother-
land. I witnessed a fe,\v wetiks a,;o the fine
band<^ intelligent men of New- York who marched
through its streets — an expresaion of their feelings
as followers of Bepublicin principles. To them,
and to all such men, I appeal in behalf of my sex,
(not for suffrage except upon an educational basia,
inan and woman alike, regardless of race or color,)
for the maintenance ot America and Its instiiu-
tiona, ooe and inseparable. Thore are many women,
with aching hearts, iu your midst — those who
mourn lor loVed ones lost in our recent struggle —
who tremble at our future. Tbey are willing to be
governed by wise nnd Intelliireut rnlers, but their
spirits fall low at the prospect of rebels, rliitera, and
ignorant men usurping plaous und positions which
sboulii be tilled only bv intel isenceand truth.
As this ia tbe first time I have ever intruded my
ideas UDOO the publii:. I hope you will deem my
sentiments worthy of uoiice. J. D.

8TREKT PAVING.
To the Editor of the Ntw- York TImu :
To avoid oontraoting for the entire repaying
of streets made necessary by the decay of wood,
they are patched with Belgian bloska, in some
cases leaving only a small strip next to theonrb;
this 18 eventually removed, and the whole street,
becomes stone. An examination of Liberty street
from Broadway to Greenwich street, (and many
Other localities,) will prove tbe correctness of this
statement. It probably costs at least double
to repair in this way what it would-if the pavement
were all replaced at one time, besides making a
smoother and in every w»y better finish. Yoa will
see twice as many men engaged in tUs jobbing as a
•ontraetor employ* te do the same work. Whea^
any part of wood pavement is decayed, the balance
needs remoylng, as Is evident from Wpenenoe.

PROIOQBAPBT 117 A GOAL MINE.
JVen* the Birmingham Foat,
We have to record a novel and interesting
ap[ilio»tion of this most useful art. A few days
ago, we believe tor the first time, an experiment
was successfully made for the purpose of obtaining
an accurate picture ot some underground work-
ings in a coal mine, the piocess being effaoted by
means of the Qxyhydrogen light, generally known
as tbe lime light, iu combination with magaesiam
riband in combustion. Tbe scene ef tbe exoeri-
ment was the Bradfi)rd Colliery, Benrly, near Wal-
sall, where, a few days ago, Mr. Frederick Brown,
of Walsall, accompanied by Mr. Cbidley, represent-
ing the firm of Messrs. Duignan & Co., solicitors
of that town, attended at the mine for the purpose
of obtaining repiesentations of certain
portions cf the underground workings
to illustrate a question of practical min-
ing which is incidental to a litigation respecting
that colliery, and having made some preliminary
experiments with magnesium light came to the
conclusion that photography would be perfectly
posaibio under conditions which exclude sunlighc
altogether. TJpou the following day Mr. Brown,
attended by one of the proprietors of the mine aud
the deputies, sneoesstuUy obtained pictures of the
portions of the mine indicated by Mr. Chidley, The
photographs, aa tioished, are not only in themselvBS
valuable for the purposes of evidence for which
they were required, bnt, when viewed in the
siereoscope, lorm perfecily accurate delinea-
tions of the places from which they were
taken, and, indeed, without an explana-
tion that they had been taken aUoaether
by artidoial light, the ordinary observer would sup-
pose them to h'lve been produced by tbe action of
the san in the ordinary way. The process occupied
for each picture from twentv-flvo minutes to half
an hour, while the sensitive plate was under the
action of the light. One of tbe principal tschnical
Obstacles which Mr. Brown had to encounter iu the
chemical Bortiou of the process was that tue ordin-
ary wet plate, alcbousb so much more rapid in its
action, would not retain its moLiiure for the length-
ened time of exposure rendered necessary under
the altered conditions of light aud the well-known
increaaud temperature in uiines ; but this ditficully
was. after repeated experiment, admitably over-
come by a chemiohl formula wnlcn Mr.
Brown was iortunately able to devise
to meet the special emergency. The
difficulties of focusing arising from cramped posi-
tion in the mine w'ere, of course, merely mechanical,
but consumed muoh time to overcome. The result
appears important in many ways, as suggesting in
future the possibility as well as the pronrletj of
photographing tbe interior of mines after accidents,
aud in the course of Uiigations and- the like, for t^e
edification of those who have not had the opportun-
ity of visiting the spots, and yet might have to de-
cide questions resptciing them. The poasibilit^r
also of introducing a powerful and steady light
completely under control, wbiob may be fed from
tbe surface by means of flexible tubing, and which
would enable a light rivaling that of day to be sent
into dangerous places from a convenient and safe
distance, appears to ua to open a pathway to very
impor^iat practical application.

FaiDAT, Nov. 24— P. M.
The stock specnlation to-day was charac-
/terized by intense dullness, and the indisposi-
;tion of operators to embark in large ventures
|on either side ot the account was very dearly
I manifested. The entire boainesa footed up
which included 34,700
17,700 Delaware, Lack-
Western. 9.50O New
.rersey Central, 8,700 St. Paul, 6,400 Michican
Central, and 6,200 Western Union. Lake Shore
opened at SGV*. a decline of % ^ cent, from
the closing quotation of last evening; declined
to 56H ; advanced to 56^ ; aaain declined to
,B6H, and closed at 56^b ®56%. The coal stocks
(Were weak and lower during the greater part
of the day, but toward the close, under cover-
ing on the part of the shorts, became strong,
u^ advanced. A marked feature of the spee-
olation in these stocks was the large number
»f seller's options put out at qtiite a considera-
ble oonaesaioa from the regular price. The St.
Paul atecks, alter declining slightly early in
the day, owing to decreased receipts for the
third week of the current month, partially re-
covered in the late dealings. The North-west-
ern shares were comparatively steady, on small
ftransaotioBs. Western Uni»n rangted between
72 and 71%, closing at 71%. The Atlantic and
PaoiAa Telegraph Company announce their
adoption of a new system of telegraphic
charges, which- com bines the two desirable ele-
Menta af simplicity and cheapness.
The money market continues easy, and the
rates for call loans to Stock Exchange borrow-
er* ranged from 3 ^ to" 2 ^P- cent. The banks
and trust companies ask and obtain 4
>95 ^ cent Frimo mercantile paper
iras in fair demand at 4 to 6 ^
smt. The national bank notes received
kt Washington for redemptian to-dav amounted
to 1700.000. The rates of exchange on New-
Vorkat the undermentioned cities to-day were:
Savannah, V* off; Charleston, easy, 5-16'aipar ;
New-Orleans. CommeroiaJ. 9-16, Bank, V4 ;

t«nnaee was 1,068,031, ther« being a decreasa of 15
vessel's and of 21.644 tons compared with the itr^^
vions year. Finally, on tbe 1st of Jasaary. 18TL
the number of vesseis was but 15.524. and the toua
tonnage 1,037,272, reprssenting. as compared witb
toe pruviou* year, a decrease of 35 vesasla and of
30,739 tons. Looking back to tbe commecc!»ffient of
thti period, it wiil be seen that in tbe whole ot th«
fifteen years from 1861 1» 1S75 tbe teial growth ol
tbe mercantile navy of France was represented hf
not more than 60*2 vessela and 14,148 Uas. Daria;
the same period tbe foivisn trade m France nei^T
doutiled, thei noortsriaiog from £75,000.009 sterifBZ'
in 1869 to £143,000.000 in 1874, and tne exports from
£91,000,000 sterling in 1860 to £155,039,000 in .1874.
Aa far as it was aea-borne traae, tbe increase, re-
presenting no leas tban £137,0OJ.GO0 sterling, mut

The Mercantile Navy of France is dirided in tbt.
official returns ae beiongiiig either to tbe Atiaoiio
Ocean or to ibe Aleaiterranean. At present tke
division is about that of two-thirds of the f^rtanr
a^amst one-third of the latter, but there seema a
teaden;>y toward an increase of the Hediterraoeaa
and a decrease of the Atlantic ihipplng. In the
eight years from 1868 to .1875 tbe total tannage •!
the vesisels on tbe Atlantic decreased from 783,353
to 764,501, while in the same eifhtyeara thetonnare
uf tbe Viessels on the Meaiterranean increased timn
263,323 tb 272,771. The number of ressels on the
Atlantic was 11,895 in 18CS and 12,089 io lg75, while
on tbe ldediterra:i«an tue v>-saeis numbered 3,707 In
1668 and 3,425 in 1873. It will thus be seen that tha
number of yesieis increased on the A-tlantic while
tbe tonnage decreacied, and that, on tbe other bint^
the number of vessels decreased and tbe lomBUgt
increased on the Mediterranean. It points to ta^.
Ifediterranean trade being, on the whole, more pro-
gresaive. ,
'J:ce (levelopment of steam navigation has scarce
It made aa much progress in Fianca in recent yean
as among otber seafariog nations. While G-real
Britain, tne United States, aud Germany are fist
coQveriing the greater part at their sailing vessels
into steamers, tbe same process ia going on in
France at an extraordinary alo-.T rate. , On the lat
of January, 1861, Fiaace had 314 steamers, of a total
burden of 68,025 tons, wi:;h 32.362-hors8 power; and
en the Isl of Jauntry, 1875, mere were no more than
522 steamers, of 194,546 tons, and 68,^2-
horse power. Thus, tbe averags annaal gr«wtb
ot the French mercantile steam navy waa d
not more tban 14 ships, with au agsregate of Httts
over 8,060 tons. The growth waa caiefly in the
Medtteirancan. which, m regard to steam«ra con-
siderably surpasses tbe French Atlantic shipping.
At the commencement ot 1875, the Atlantic was rep-
sesentad by 275 steamers, of 75.746 tons, while tha
Mediterranean had S47 steamera, of 118.890 tana.
Tbe great majority uf tbe Atlantic steamers of
Fiance belong, it would app«ar, to the coasting
trade, the average burden ot the total being but S7S
tons, while that of thj Mediterranean ateamtrs u
480 tons.
Tha average tonnage of the Atlantic steamars
represents also very nearly that <if tbe morcaatila
navy of France is gnnerTit, both saiiiag vesaela foi
sieamera. Of tha 15,524 vessels returned ss form-
lag the nav.v on the lie of Jannary, 1875, bnt 9C '
were over 300 tOQ.s the remaining 14,579 vassala'
Leing from 50 to 300 tona. The uamber of vesaels
cf from 300 to 400 tuns was 344; tbat from 400 to 500
101.8, 336 ; that fiom £00 to 690 ton.s. 122: that fi-0«
600 to 700 tons. 80; toat from 700 tu€du tons, S8;
aud, finaiir, tbe number af vessels over 800 tons,
1U5. It is siguiScant that the ufficiil classihcatiou
co,3a not reach hisher tban 800 toa». the remainias
number bsing evidently too small fir farther sub-
division. Tne increase of voaaels over SOO toss
has not beeu very marked in tbe last eigbi or tan
years. Tne number waa 76 at the commencement
if 1888 ; It rose to 80 in IsG9. at which h<;are it re-
mained in 1870 : in 1871 it roso to 88, in 1872 to 90, in
1873 to 98, iu 1874 to 106, aud in 1875 it sank to 105.
The inciaase was entirely represented by siaamera,
princi-pallv on the Mediterranean. Surveying the ,
whole tjtata of things, aa represented by tneae,
figures, it muse be admitted that tue French Mar-
can tile Nary at present eonaists mainly pf coasters,
and tbut it shows no tendency wuatevn- to dispute
the traffic cf the ocean wicb other natioiw. Its
strength lies in tho Mediterranean, and, except tha
ships uf a few highly-subsidized mail lines, tha At
lartic sees hut little of the French flag.

A Bia POLAR BEAR.
The »kin ot an immense polar bear haa Ixeieo
received by a gentleman in Norwich, Conn^ from a
friend on tho bark Isabella, at Cumberland Inlet,
with an account of its exciting capture, which th«
JJu2I«{tn prints aa follows : "A party of men fcaoi
the Isabella, including a number ot Esquimaux and
myseit were walking ^n the iea a abort distance
Irom tbe ship, when, rounding a hummock, we ao-
expectedly discovered at a short aistanee
Horn us a large bear, quietly feeding. TTe would
have returned to the ship without disturbing it,
as we were armed with only one rifle and a few
spears carried by the native*, had not one of the
several dogs that were with us announced our
presence bv a loud bark. The bear, as soon as it
saw the intruders, began to advance slowly toward
ua, but was mel b.v the dogs, who attacked tne aoi.
mal vigorously, but with little effect. He abook
them of^ and, after injuring three of tham so badly
that they had to be killed, ha continued to adraaoe.
We discharged the rifle, and then fled to the ship,
where we armed ourselves, and Came out to look
after bis bearship, who had disappeared hebiaa one
of the numerous hummocks by which we were anr.
rounded. We had searched for some time, when, as
one of the Esquimaux passed the corner of a lium-
mock, be came face to face with the infuriated-ani-
maU He gave a fearful cry as the brute eirnck aim
with one of his immense paws. Tbe rest of na
heard the cry and rapidly surrounded the brate,
which stood perfectly still over the body of the
Esquimaux. We fired »ij:teen shors, twelve o(
wiiich entered its body, before it raceivea Its ueatb
wound. The nativo was infen.iibla when we nicked
him no, and badly torn about tho shoulder by the
beast's claws, but, was not seriously hurt. We took

Judge LawTonca, ia Supreme Court, Cham-

proper amoaot otalimoD.T and counsel fees to be
awarded to Catfaanue SchelleosqhlaKer, irho sues
bar hasband, Pet«r, for a limited diToroe, on°°'tho
gronnd of ornel and Inhuman treatment. The plain-
tiff, in her complaint, alleges that she was married to
: ttt« defendafit at West Hobokau, 3f. J.,iix December,
1971. Xhe parcioi Uvad tocetlio;' as man and wife
nutil Oct. 90. 1S75, whou, acjeordioc to tho plaintiff,
the defendaat, bv • his syacematio abuse and
lU-tieatment, compolUd her to separate from
Miai. Since tho laat-mentioned date tboy hare
tlvod separate aad apart. A boy, cow in his fifth
jrcar. ia the only issue of the marriase. At the
time ot the separation, the plaintiff saya the de-
ftsndant promised and agreed to giro her S12'per
month toward the support ofharself and child, and
a>«o to provide the latter with necessary clothiaj:.
. He has, she says, only laadeqoatelT provided cloth-
iss for the ohild, and has, amoe Ausr. SI, 1876, re-
fused to oontribate either to her aqpport or to that
«f the child. The oouduct of the defendant, ahe
faither avers, haa' been such as to render it
unsafe and improper for her to cobahit with him.
In !$0ptotBber, 1873, the defendant violently as-
•anUed her and beat hor with a chair. On another
wecasion he heM her and used violent language
Toward her. He was accustomed also to throw
furniture about the premiaea iu a rather promisou-
oits fashion. For several months prior to the seo-
aratloo,-3he says he habitually annoved, insulted,
and ill-treated her with the avowed purpose of
ewmpeliioe her to leave him. She says he earns
^'.flQO par moath, and haa considerable property.
Xhe defendantiu his answer denies the allega-
^ ti^Bs of craelty, and alleges that the plaiutifiT,
tfaruagh coustanc abuse and ill-treatmeni toward
' him, caused him to separate from bor, aod upon
, tbo aeoaranon it was agreed that ho should pay the
tli per month mentioned in the complaint. This
nftoey, tfe says, was to be paid enly to the child,
wno was to call for the monov. and 'the visit of
afae child was to' b« made a coadition in the pay-
nent of the money, Xbe paymonts were not ocn-
tinued, the defendant asserts, simplv because
tho plaintiff failed to send the child for the money.
He denies haviuj;'^efnsed to support her and
^ the child. and e::iprea8es his willingness
' to provide tor their support. He then
, iEoea ou . to deny tho alleeed abuse
aad ill-treatment, arid says that the plaintiff is a
person of a very wicked disposition, and that she
"continnallj beat, struck,, abused, aod ill-treated
Iiim," throwing missiles suoh as e^ji-sheUs at him,
and calling hiiu bad and abusive uames. She also
'threw chairs, tables, &c., at him, tried to eject him
}T«m the house, and beliaved herself "as a woman
-' of violent character." In October, 1873, he alleges,
' she administered medicines to herself for the
avowed purpose of cotumittins an abortion. These,
hebeiieves, were successful in their effects. Hesars
he was finadly obliged to leave her in consequence
•f her conduct. Ha says he receives only 840 per
aaonth for wngea. In opposition to the motion ior a
reference tUe defendant made a curious affidavit, a
portion of which, In spite of grammatical faults, so
Weil epitomizes tbe bistery ana causes of domestic
difficulrlea that it is appended: "That de^nent
bei'ore his acarriasce to the plaintiff believing her to
be a kind-hearted woman, he married her, but a
few days there^ter he ascertained that the plaintiff
was not the same kind of a womou ahe had Deeo be-
lorb the marriafo ; and deponent found that the
'plaintiff'a sole object was to govern and command
deponent according to her whims and caprices, and
that £he was a woman of the most malicious and
revensrefnl character, whose special delight and
pleasure it was to hurl and throw dishes, chairs,
tables and diiferent other kind of domestic missiles
about the room, and who showed such a character
tor malioe and revenge that deponent's life was it
eoostant danger from the . unscmpuloos and cause-

AOTS.
A pecidiar suit, brought by Margaret Fisher
sicainst Geoxge Kinjc. was tried before JudKe Alker
ia the Marine Court yesterday. It appears that the
defendant is the owner of a tenement-house, and
Ikej^an summary prooeedinss about two years ago
for the ericuon of iiis tenant and the tenant's sab-
tenaots, the plaintiff beins one of the latter.
The dispossessing warrant was issued on Dec. 31,
1874. Tho Marshal who was to execute it snggeat-
ea to the sub-tenanta that if they Tvonld pay the
eat ta the landlord's agent they would not be
ejected. The Marshal delayed action until Jan. 9,
1 5. On tnat day, during the plaintiff's absence
troBi the premises, he began putting ber turnitare,
&o., on the sidewalk. Ou her return sbe found him
atiU at work, and told him ahe had paid the deten-
dant-'s ajcent. The agent confirmed her statement
and the property was put back again. She then
bn>ught an action to recover ?1,000, |500 of which
■was for money taken from the furniture when be-
ing removed, and fSOO for damage done. On the
tnal of the action Adolph L. Sanger, who appeared
lor the defendant, claimed that if tho warrant were
alive or operative on Jan 9, lfi75, then clearly the
IMar^hal wa3 the party to be saed, and if the war-
raoat were^ot alive then the Marsnal was not the
<lefeBdant'3 agent. In neither event, he argued,
eoukl the dsfandant be held liable. Judge Alker
coin^ded in these views -aad dismissed the com-
plaint.

SEVEN UE PENALTIES.
■The ease of the Long Island Railroad Cora -
iMny> plaintiff lu error vs. the United States, wasar-
imed yesterday in the United States Circuit Court.
The United States sued for two penalties ot $300,
«ach under section 5.324 of the Revised Statutes,
fotthe transportation of two empty packages which
had contained distilled spirits, the revenue stamps
upon which bad not been effaced and o'jliterated.
The proof was that a drayman had the packages

ilayer & Sampson, whoiesals liquor dealers, and
had aUu a bill of lading from the Long island
Railroad Company, purporting to state
tho transportation of two packages from
Hioscsville, Long IsIaUd. to Ifew-Tork.
Tlse packages were seized, and the bill of lauing was
last seen m the ofifttse of tho President of the road-
defendant. After it was shown that this paper
could not be found. Judge Blatchfjrd admitted
oral evidence of its contonts, and, as the defendant
offered no evidence, be directed a verdict for the
Goveinmenf. The company took a writ ot error.
The case was argtied before Judge Johnson, by A.
J. Vanderpoel, for the plamtlfi' in error, and Roeer
M. Soerman, Assiijtant United States Attorney, foi

SENT TO THEi-ENITENTlART.
On the 2l8t of September John Buchanan,
alias Patrick Davis, a Harlem laborer, was brought
np in the Court of General Sessions for stealing a
horse, valued at $175, the property of the New- York
Central and Hudson River Railroad, which was
ionnd m cia possessiou by Officer Hughes,
of /the Twenty-third Precinct. The pris-
oner pleaded guilty. bat his sauity
being questioned. Recorder Hackett re-
manded him to the Tombs in order that his mental
condition should beinquired into. Dr. Brekes, pby-
siclau at the City Pi-iaon, examinod Dav-s aud lo-
perted thai in his opinion the prisoner was of im-
sound mind and irresponsible for his actions.
Therenpou the prisoner's plea was vacated and ho
was committed by the Racorder t<) the Luuatic
Asyinra on Blackwell'a island. After a term uf
treatment by the pbysiciins at this iustiutiou,
Daviij was returned co'tne Tombs as a, man of souud
mind, and in a condition to have his case disposod
of. Tho B03>posed li],oatic was again called up in
Part I. of the Court of General Sessions yesterday,
by Assistant District Attorney Bell, and ngau
pleatled guilijr to the charge, lie was sent to tho

TBB A COUSED EEBICX-MASTEBS.
Mr. Charlea W, Brobke, counaol for thePeiin-
aylvariia Railroad Conipany, appeared beiore Judge
Gildersleeve yesterday, lu Part T. of too Court

case of the people against William West, iloi;-
aan Decker, and others, tho ferry-masters aud
tMsbet-holdfra, who are charged with appropiia-
ting large sums from the company's receinrs.
It appears that couusel f«ir the accused had
caused a cnmmiasloa to bo issitcd to lake the
lt>#timony of oercaiu persons in Uewark, K.J., fjr
w>» Durpose of proviug that a witness named Piatt-
■er had stated that ho expected to receive remuner-
ation and a position from the company for the in-
formation Blveu by him, upon which the charge
against the defendants was based. Mr. Brooke, in
an elaborate argument, movedyhat the oommi:<8lou
be vacated, unibo ground tnat the matters sought
to be established thereby were entirely collateral to
tho issues uu'li--' the indictment and inadmissible.
Counsel also ooniended that the stay of proceedings
caused by tho issue of such commission had already
delayed "the trials too long, and urged that the
earliest poisiblo day should be set apart for their
hearing. Counsel for tho defense argued against
tho motion. Judiie Gilderalseve took the papers
and reserved bis decisioij.'

The suit of O'Conor and others against the
Hebrew Benevolent and Orphan Asylum Society.
the Hebrew Free School Society, the Hebrew
Bunal Society, and the Mount Sinai Hospital,
was settled to-day. The plaintiffs are the nephews
of Lewis Phillips, deceased, who left about 160,000
to the defendants. The plaintiff's contested the
devises under the statute which forbids a testator,
leaving wife or children, from giving more than
one-half his property toobarities. Judge Donohuo,
before whom the case came for trial, dismissed the
oomplaint. By the settlement the charitable socie-
ties are to receive about 550,000.
Frederick Lewis, to whom the firm of Max
Stadler & Co. assigned their property several
months ago, has brought an action in the Supreme
Court for authorization to convey back the property
assigned to him, and to be dischaisea from his
trust. The complaint recites the proceedings un-
der tbe assignment, and also the subsequent pro-
ceedings in bankruDtcy. Mr. Lewis says ho is
advised and believes that the United States District
Court may oblige him to surrender up the property
assigned, and that there is a doubt as to whether,
UDon doing i>o, he will be protected from liability to
the creditors .of Max Stadler & Co. Judge Law-
rence granted an orde^ tor the publication of the
summons in the case, as some of the defendants do
not reside in the State.
A BEMABKABLE SUIT UNDER A WILL.
A very rentarkable case, as to the inheritance
of property, «»3 brought up before Judge Van
Vorst In Supreme Court, Special Term, yesterday,
and was sobmitteA for decision. The action is.
brought by Samuel JNewell, the executor of Eliza-
beth M. Walter, md other Trustees under her will,
against Joseph Rmgeway and others. Mrs. Walter
died on Oct. 7. 1870, leaving a will in which she
made certain special and careful trusts for the bene-
fit of her husband and her two children. She gave
^5,000 to each of tbe children, and £30,000 to her
husband, the remainder being given to the children.
Ou May 8, 1875. her two children, ber ifusband, and
her mother perished in the Schiller disaster, and
some curious questions are now raised aa to who is
entitled to the propert.y. Under the trusts of the
will, if the children were the last to die, their heirs
are entitled to all tbe property.! This would make
the beirs nf tbe testator and at ber husband be
equallv entitled to tUe property. If the husband
was the last to perish, only his heirs have any right
to it. If the testator's mother died last, only her
heirs are entitled to it, ajid, final! y, if all ciied to-
gether, at the same moment, a residuary' devise in
the will becomes operative, and gives the property
to a lourth class'&f persons. The Trustees brought
the present action iu order to obtain a decisiou as
to the proper persons entitled to have tbe propcriv.
EGBERT E. BERDELL'S PROPERTY.
Robert H. Berdell, formerly President of the
Erie Railway Company, was examined in the Su-
perior Court, before Judge Speir, yesterday, on pro-
ceedings supplementary to an execution issued on
a judgment for ^79,260 CO, in a suit brought by
Lizzie A. Berdell, On Dec. 12, 1862, according to
the complaint, Berdell, for a valuable con-
sideration, made and delivered a deed of
trust to Sylvester C. Parkhurst of valuable
property in Wooster street. Tbe property
waste be hold In trust by Parkhurst for Theodore
Berdell. Charles P. Berdell, and Lizzie A. Berdell
until they became ot age, when it was to be given
to them aosolutely. It was alleged that Parkhurst
did not attsod to his duties as Trustee, that he did
not record the deed of trust, ctr take possession of
the real estate, or collect the rents of the property.

A "CROOKED WHIUKY" SUIT.
The case of the United States vs. fifty barrels
of Cologne spirits seized at Nu. 27 Beaver street,
Messrs. Boyd & Hill, claimants, brought from tho
United States District Court by writ of error from
the Circuit, was argued and submitted yesterday
before Judge Johuson. The United States claim
that a conspiracy existed between Nunuemacber, a
distiller, Hirsteiu, a rectifier, and Roddis, a United
States gauger, in ililwaukeo. Wis., by which the
ganger issued stamps for rectified spirits to Hir-
stein in biauk, ana Nunnemachcr use<l them upou
packages ot, illicit dtgtilled aniiita, of which these
spirits Were part. The evidence was largely cir-
cumstantial. Roddis testified to the delivery lu
blank of the stamps found on the packages vrben
seiaed,and export testimony showed that the spirits
were such as Nunnemacber might produco
at his distillery with suoh apparatus as he
had ^and that ihty could not have under-
gone such processes as Hirutoin was authorized to
carry on. The jary in tho court; below leudered a
verdict for the Government, torfL-iiing the spirits,
under sections 3,239 aud 3,299 (,f the Revised Stat-
utes, aud the claimants appealed, urging that tbe
forfeiture, if an.v, did not affect them as bona fide
pnrchaaors. Decision reserved.
Roger M. Sherman, Assistant United States At-
torne.v, lor the Government, G. W. Coltenll for the
claimants.

A QUARTERMASTER'S DEPOSITS.
The case of thii United States against Gen
Henry L. Robinson, late Assistant Quartermaster
in tbe United States Artsy, was on trial yesterday
in tho United States District Court, before Judge
Blatchfoid. United States Attorney Bliss appeared
for theGovernmont aud E. Moore for the defendant.
In this suit the Government sou.ght to recover
au alleged ipdobti^duess of J-50,5j() 33. Quarrer-
ma-?ter Robinson had a large depi sit in tiio .First
ilatioual Bank of Washington, ami one day drew
out tne above amouut aud deposited it in tlio Mer-
chauts' National Bank, turning over a corliric.tte of
deposit to tho United States auihoriliea. The same
day the Merchanta' National liauk suspended. It
was tho claim of the Government that this transfer
of roouey from a bank reco^juized as sound to one
of doubtful condition showed a uegligenco on tha
part of Gun. Robinson which should make him re-
sponsible for the amount. Thcro was no question
but that he acted in good faith, Ikiwuvop. Xiil' .jury
veiurned a verdict for the defendant without leav-
ing their seats.

A GANAL CASE ARGUED.
Albany, Nov. 24. — Amon? tho euae.s arguod
in the General Torin to-day was that ot The People
ex rel. Emmet Flagler anti John Riley vs. George
W. Schnj'icr, Auditor of the Cnual Department, in
which some important unestious are involved. The
c:i80 comes up on an appeal by tho plaiutifls from
an order denying a peiomptory mandamus againat
the Auditor for tho iia.vraout of $7,2U0, claiioeil
to 'oe due on a contract of lUo iilaiiiiift'.)
for the removil of wall-bonches nuJ tho
substitution (f slope and vertical -rtralt l:uui lock
Iho. 32, ut F(.rt Plain. Counsel fur tho piaintiJf
claimed that the contract lind been faitlifully eie-
cuted and approved by the euEinoor iu cliarge, and
. that in the oooib balow they had made out; a uiima
facie case for a mandamus as asked. On the part
of the State it was urged that the contractors had
constructed vertical instead of slope wall, and that
the work was grossly inferior iu character. The
court took the papers.

Gamett vs. «?a»Jie«.— This matter is rtferred to
Charles Price, Esq., to take proofs and to report
what if any sum should be allowed to the defendant
for a1iman,y aud counsel fee. «
Towmhend vs. Johnson and otAer*.— The dates
left blank in the twelfth paragrarh of the Referee's
report must be supplied.
in the matter of Nostrand.— This motion must be
deuied. The order of tbe presiding .Justice was
made on the 6th day of December, 1875, and dock-
eted the payment of tne counsel fee ot $250 to M. E.
C. Ripley personally. The allegations that this or-
der was made after the plaintiff in the action of
Nostrand vs. Nostrand bad revoked the authority
to Mr. Ripley to act as her attorney, is most posi-
tively denied. The counsel fee belonged to Mr.
Ripley personally and irrespective of tho payments
which may have been made to him by the plaintiff.
I find nothing in the order of Mr. Justice Barrett
which is inconsistent with this view. Ilhere ap-
pears therefore to be no good reason for allowing
the Receiver or the plaintiff in the case of Nostrand
vs. Nostrand to come in and defend this action.
Motion denied, but, as the moving party is a Re-
ceiver, without costs.
Solomon vs. Hirshjield.— The attention of counsel
in this case is called to the language of the Chan-
cellor as quoted in Graham's Practice, page 913,
section 1; Page's reports, page 40. Before this order
can be granted aa affidavit stating the circum-
stances of the plaiatifl" more fully muse be laid
before the court. It should also appear whether
the plaintiff is a married woman, and whether, if She
has a husband, he is not of sutficicnt pecuniary
ability to prosecute this action. Notice should be
given to the other side.
Matters of William Towey and Thomas Coffey. —
Counsel will please furnish me with a relereuco to
tho authority on which he relies m asking for
this order. Itis not a matter of coarse under tho
statuiie to, grant tbe order. In Isnard vs. Careaux,
(1, Page 40,) Chancellor Walworth held that notice
of suoh an application must be given to tbe oppo-
site party. I am not satisfied on the petition as it
stanus that this is a case in which tbe court should
exercise the power vested in it by the statute. If
counsel desire an order to show cause why the ap-
plication ahbutd not De granted, such an order will
be made, and after hearing the other side tbe court
will be enabled to pass more intelligently upon tbe
question than it possibly can do ou an ex parte
I btatement.
In the matter of iZatt.— Assuming that tho offense
for which the prisoners were apprehended and held
was not so specifically stated as to have warranted
their conviction upon an indictment found agmnst
them, as the prisoners pleaded guilty to the charge,
I wish to hear counsel further upon the point
whether the plea of guilty did not waive any
teohnical error which there may have been la the
complaint, and also upon the point whether such
error, if reversible at ali,can be reviewed elsewhere
than at the General Term Upon certiorari.

IT WOUKED.
A gentleman who has just returned west-
ward from Washington, and whom the ('olumbus
(Ohio,) State Journal vouches for, gives this little
incident: Ou the west-bouud train from Balti-
more, Friday evening, was a rampant Democratic
tire-eater, who livou m-ar Tallahassee, b'la. A.
frieud of his, who left the traiu at Harper's Ferry
Va., occupied the seat with bim. They dis-
cussed the political sitiiattou loudly and augges-
tivel.y. Among other thing.'j of a 8lm:lar import,
the Floiidian said, witli much profauit.y: ''Yes',
'em, we fixed 'em down our way. We corralled
every uigger wo could cawh in sheds and eut-
buiiuiug.4, the day brforo election, and kept a guard
over them all uigiit. In the morning wo put a
Democralio ticket into eveiv nigger's hand and
told him to vote it. Ao, we didn't intimidate Uiein!
no, sir/ but we gave rheru plaiuly lo undor-
Btiiud that every ticket wa^ marked, and if ihey
were nor all voted, evt?ry nigger would soon learu
lite consequence.''
"Did itwerlc'r' asked tbo Harper's .Perry man.
"Work!" indignantly ejaculated the i'loridian —
•'of course it did!"

HIS ONLY ANXIETY.
The Hardin County (Iowa) .HeraZd has the
following item illustrative of the nerve of Fred.
Ikerman, a soldier who carries several rebel bullets
in his body : '' He was mining coal last Wednesday,
when a boulder fell on him, crushing bis nose and
chin and frightfully wuuuding his head. Unaided,
he lifted the irametise weight and was found sitting
up a few steps trom where he fell. He bad been a
gafiaut soldier who, despite s guu-shot wound
in the head that would have slain any
oi€inary mortal, re-enlisted and fought to the
close ot the rebellion. He took deep interest in the
late campaign, and was color^earer and Sergeant
for Company B, of the Hayes liivincibles. It wor-
ried him excessively to know that the men who. as
rebels, eleven years ago shot him io the head, were
now asking to manage the nation they failed to de-
stroy. When the poor fellOw was crushed under
the mass of rock, insensiblltty kindly relieved him
for a time of all sense of pain. When restored to"
consciousness, with his entire face crushed in —
forehead, nose, chin, all smashed — the very first
whisper from the mangled visage was. ' Is Hayes
elected?'"
ANOTHEB CHINAMAN'S VIEW.
The Watsouville (Cal.) Transcript, a Demo-
cratic paper, ia its issue of the lllh inst., says:
"One day since election, a Cninaman was asked by
a gentleman in town if he was a Republican or a
Democrat? He replied 'No sabeo.' He was then
asked which man be wanted for President — Tilden
or Hayes. He looked up with a bland smile and
said: 'Me no likee Til-lon; me likee No. 1 MelioaU'
mau Hayse. If Til-len catchee all samo place-^
what you call him, Plesident — Chinaman he no can
catchee money ; he go back China. Hayse, he
catchee Plesident, Melioa bully place for Chinaman;
he can catchee plenty money,, can catchee houses,
can catchee all washoe — velly good.' * Why, John,
who told you all this!' said the geutlemau. 'On,
one piecee big man top-side,' pointing at the same
time up Main street."
THB DEMOCBAIIO HEN.
The Des Moines (Iowa) Begister says : " One
of our Democratic fellow-citizens tells this tale 'of a
little folk of his own household, a bright little
daughter of six years. Sbe bad listened to the
cheers of the p&rti:«ans on the streets - and heard
ber father talk Demooraey uniil she had become
much interested in tbe Presidential canvass. She
had Duliced the Leader's rooster and had come to
understand its meaning. A ia-w evenings since the
paper came out Without the fowl. The little child
caught it up fiom the place where the carrier had
thrown it and btutened into tho house, crying
'Papa, your side's beaten; the JL«adtr has taken
\offit»hen."'

GETTING A POLL VOTE.
The G.tinesvllle (Pla.) Citizen of the 18th inst-.
exposes some et tberebel methods toiuffueuos voters
as follows: "They had a queer way for ''coercing
the colored vote for the Democracy at Fernandiaa.
Each ticket given to the colored man had a diffarei|>
number stamped upon the face, and the namoof jbbe.
man, to whom a certain number was given, was' ce-'-'
corded in a book. An inspection of the vote* ia
tho ballot-box revealed the persons who did and
who did notvote this ticket. Those who did not
need not expect emplovment, or au.vthing else,
from the hands of (be Demuorats. Tney were ziveu
to understand that before voting, and made to realize
tbe importance of depositiug that particular vote ia
tbe tH>x. But ibis is not considered iaiimidatmg."
[THEFB^IAH SCABE.
The-Montpelier (Vt.,) Watchman of the 22d
inst., says: "We are told on good authority that
there IS something in this 'Feniaa scare,' which tha
St. Albans correspondents of the Bo8i;on papers an
writing np after the most sensational faahlon.
Large quantities of powder hare been storeu lu a
sand-pit near St. idbans, and heavy teams have
been ibeard for several ul.;bts past traveling to-
ward the Province line. Gen. Foster shtnild bold
himself in readiness to drive on tho first battle- '
field with bis back, and ' eooop ny," as befose. tbe
juaaora ia this miserable and nroffklesa entaeoilsa".

The final day of the trial' of tKe oelebrated
~ Hartinez-Del Valle snit attraoted an immense throne
t* the Supreme Courtroom yesterdav mornins.
Crowds surronnded the doon, Jammed the stair-
caaes, and made iogress and ecreas a work
of the greatest diflBonlty. Every seat in
, the oonrt-room waft oooapied long before
the openins of the trial, and the anxiety
to Aet a fall view of the plaintiff and defendant was
lodioroaa from its very intensity. Durinc the de-
livery of Mr. Beaoh's address, -which oocnpied most
of the foieaooD, the plaintiff occupied her asaal
•eat faoioK thejary. Her face was veiled for the
greater poriilon of the time, and her demeanor
lacked the eimfldeaoo aod self-satisfaction which
were visible in the '^rly part of the trial. Her
•ister and mother sat next to hM-, hut they, too,
looked depressed, and seemed to share in the gen-
•eral Impression that the chances of a verdict in
, their favor wore donbtfal. At 10 o'clock, half an
hoar earlier than nsaal, Judge Donohne arrived,
and Mr. Beach commenced snmoJIng np for the
plaintiff In openins hia address he reminded the
larv that hell had no Inxy like a woman scorned,
and thafMt was nothing more than natural to ex.
peot that the plaintiff would be wiilinc to forfeit
almost-anvthing she had to be revenged on the
man who had sa foully wronged her. From con-
templating Ills client's feelings the counsel
tamed to a consideration of the humor
and eloquence displayed bj the other
aide, with a Tie w of evecwhelsiing her with ridi-
cule and laughing her out of court. He lacked Ian-
{Coage la which tv describe his appreciation of
those qualities in his learned opponent, but forta-
nacely a oempetent authority had done the gentle-
ana tuetiee, and it was only necessary to quote it.
Mr. Beach here read from an afternoon caper a par-
agrdnh in which the defendant's counsel was re-
ferred to ts "the classical and witty Choate, sitting
with his head erect, while over his Cupid features
Ills blue eyes shed a mild and radiant light." [Great
laughter.] The speaker here tendered a newspaper
dippisg to his learned opponent, who accepted it
with an appreciative smile amid continued merri-
aeot. Mr. Beach then took up the-case of the de-
fendant, and said that if the wealthy Mr. Del YsUe
supposed that his riches would enable him to dety
the law of this country be was greatly mistaken.
If it coula be nreved that this plaintiff entered the
dofendant's house with her veracity doubted and
lier Jionor successfully Impugneo, she would have

attemisted to impugn her previous record.

»I1E THEORIES OF THB DEFENSE CONTBADIC-
TOBY.
! There were but two theories upon which the de-
l/rase accnented for the extraordinary scale of thipgs
jevealod by this trial. These were that for five
months this plaintiff was all virtue, modesty, and
pr6priety, while buing in reality an abandoned
courtesan and unscrupulous conspirator. The gen-
tlemen on the opposite side had given her too much
credit. In tbeir haste to construct a theory favor-
able to their client, tbey bad imputed to her all the
Intellect and recklessness of a Boreia. The
cpUDsel ar^^ued that even if certain of the plain-
tiff's statements contradicted each other, especially
In respecr to dates or other unimportant particu-
lars, it did not necessarily militate against tbe snb-
■tance ol her evidence. In support ot this vidW, he
read (teveral extracts from S:arkey and otUer au-
thorities. Taking up nest the conduct of Del Valle
toward tbe plaintiff Mr. Beacn denounced ic as tbat
of a cold-uluuded and proili&ate liberiioe, wbo bM
j^reyed apon tbe fresh iunooeuce of tne plainiitf.
ilere ono of ttie counsel tor tUo defense siciiea
iiootcally. Mr, i3eacb noticing it, turned, uoon him
and sail, imprKSSively: "Don't smile, my youni;
friend; let tnis be a warninu to you." ILanehter.J
The spealier commentett wub gieat severity upon
the bearintr and cnaiacter of Del Valle, a« evinced
by bis own testimony, and said tbatfiuiu be^iuniug
to end be meant to accomplish the seduction ot the
plaintiff and did accumplisn it. Ko man wbo knew
anything of life could believe that he had been as
Sure and spotless toward her as. he prjfessei to
.ive been. It be was not, he was a liur and a per-
iurer, and so lied and perjared himself in pursuit of
» BCbeme of fraud planned by his lawyers and car-
ried out by bis own desperate leckleosness. Ttiis
chaste ano hnotleds defeiidani bad taken upon nim-
«eli to Ui.icov'er sin and iniquity in the muoceut
gambolxofa young tiirl, anu condemned her fir
•tseping with her uour open on a sultrv Summer's
uigbf. He swore tbat she was all the time tr^iing
to entrap bim, that she was not burt by ber fail on
Broadway, and that sue walked with him to Kifth
avenue atterward. Siio and ber sister both swear
that she rras taken home in a cab, and . tnat she
was couhned to her bouse lor several days.
Ihecoausei then read the letter alleged to have
been written by the plamtitf after the had left the
ctefeudanl's employ. She spoke of " bur hours of
iiorrow " under bis roof. What could those liours
ef sorrow meaii but tbe hour* she bad passed afier
he bad accomplished bis puruose and robbed hei
of ner virtue 1 She said : 'I implore you not to
break your sicred proiui-ie to me. Do noi
maite roe your enemy." And what was
Del Valle's cold, hearUess answer? "I will
in uo way constitute myelf a protector of a
person so unworthy of protecrioo." A\\ that the
defeudant could adduce as coustiiuting her unwor-
tbiuess were the facts that she took ner htn-Bcback
rides early in the moininj;, and wliile reohuiiig on a
sofa in the abandonment of innocence exposed a
pretty foot and ankle. Thiit w<»s all this defeudaut
had seen, and all that he pretended to have seen,
txceoi, pevhap", hor leaviusj her bedroom door open
Df a BUliiy bumraet's evening, whicn had already
been memioned.
THE PtTECHASB OP THE BLNG.
Mr. Beach here quoted Star key and Paley again
to prove that tbe discrepancies between the jewelry
clerk's statements and those of the plaintiff were
immaterial. Counsel argued that even if tbe sales-
man's story was correct, and the ring was purchased
on the XSth of January instead of fifteen days later.
It did not damage the substance of his client's festl.
VOiy. I'oi' himself. e«wa«u>nlined to think that
Ofc.;-
she bad received the ring on that day, and ber ac-
qaaintanoe with the plaintiff had begun three
weeks before, instead of on the 14th of January.
There was no difficulty in reconciling these ap-
parent contradictions. The date was of compara-
tively little importance, compared with the facts,
and ot the latter there could be no doubt Mr.
Beach then rertewed the testimony for lbs defense
in detail. The evideKos of Mr. Krank and Mr.
Iiouis, as to the plaintiff's receiving letters under
the aliat ot Howard, was dissected and pronounced
untrustworthy. The testimony of Celia Rainbow
and Capt. AlvareB. in regard to the first Sunday in
Poughkeepsie, was classed in a similar category be-
oaifse toev gave no adequate reassn for remember-
ing tbe precise date. Ih regard to Alvarez s
drowned friend, for tbe repose of whose soul he
had put np masses, without knowine his name, the
counsel would not be too exacting. fLaughter.J
He would not undertake to talk of the omni-
science of the Deity, or of the folly of send-
ing telegranhic messages up to him on such
subjects. [Lsughter.J The evidence of the
two hull boys in regard to the presence ot Ham-
mond in the nlaintiff's room was manifestly false,
because, t^m the position of the bed, thev conld
not have seen what tbey described. Then, too,
their affidavits differed in some respects from their
sworn testimony. And then as to the mother —
that mother whom the learned counsel for the de-
fendant had so much craved to have on the stand,
and against whom he insinuated so much-
he (Mr. Beach) had seen tbat mother, when
her daughter was telling the story of her
seduction to the court, spring from her
setit in an agony of irrepressible emotion;
He had no doubt that his learned friend would have
reveled and rioted in tbe cross-examination of tbat
mother, and it grieved him to be forced tb deprive
him of that pleasure. [Laughter, | As to Mrs.
Quackenbusb's testimony, tbe iury should remem-
ber that from her acquaintance with tbe Del Valles
it was not improbable that she had accepted their
version of the stery, and that her convictions had
thus resolved themselves into facts. Even if the
plaintiff had bad this conversation with Mrs. Quack-
enbusb, and failed to recollect it, it should not
be to bei discredit. Last of all there were tbe con-
fidential letters of the sister Adele to the plaintiff;,
■^bat would the jury think of the honor of the man
"who would produce in court such letters — of a ten-
der, private and conflctential character, and which
could not help his cause in whatever iight_ they
were construed. Mr. Beach concluded wiin a
touching appeal to the jury in behalf of his client,
whose future be said, for weal or woe, rested ab-
solutely in their hands.
THE CHARGE TO THE JURY.
Judge Dsnohue then proceeded to charge tbe
jurv. He first cautioned them against allowing
their judgement to be over-influenced bytheappeals
of counsel on either side, and then proceeded to re-
view tbe evidence in tbe case and point out several
features which had been overlooked by counsel.
In the first place, it must be borne in mind that
throughout the case, Ithe burden of proof
was upon tbe plaintiff; that she . must
first make out a clear cfise of promise of marnage
on tbe part of tbe defendant ; tbe element of seduc-
tion only entered into tbe case as an agsrravation of
damages. The prosecution claim tbat the promise
was made to her by Del Valle. and that in token ot
it he placed the ring on her finger on a certain dacie
three weeks after their tlrst acquaintance, which
she swears pusitively was on the 15th of January.
The jeweler's clerk, who so id them the ring,
pwears he sold it on the 15vb of January and that ic
did not fit her finger and was left to be altered, and
that a day or two nfter sbe returned alobe and took
away the ring herself. It was true that a mere
mistake of dates in certain contingencies
was net material, but it rested with
them to say what eflect this total diver-
gence in statements of fact should have
upon this plaintifTs case. Another remarkable
feature of the ca-i^e was the fact that while, if Del
Yalle's story of his engaging the piaiatiff as gov-
erness and ot" her going to tha Hotel Royal was un-
true, it must lie in the power of the mother to
contradict it. and that mother, although daily in
court, Ijad not been called to disprove the de-
fendant's statement. This was a very material
part of the case, and should be carefully considered
by the jury. A still more extraordinary feature
was tbe offier of iseoret mxrriag^. which the plaintiff
claims to have been made by Del Valle dating tbe
early period of their intimacy. Acoordiugto hei: tes-
timony, she refused this and preferred to go to a hotel
under an assumed name, and to occupy an equivo-
cal position, rather than to become the legitimate
wife of a rich husband. It might be said that she
refused the oiler through fear of ber father shoot*
ing her. She demanded an open marriage, when —
if her statementa are to be believed — her father
would have proceeded to carry out his nintderous
threat, and yet sbe refuses a secret marriage, by
which all danger from her father would have been .
avoided. It was f jr the jury to say whether these
apparent inconMstencles*were reconcileu by her
testimony. His Honor reviewed the entire evidence
in a similar strain, and called attention to
the fact that tbe testimony of tbe defendant was in
almost every instance flatly contradicted by the
witness, as well as contradictory iu itself. It might
be tbat these discrepances were mere minor ones
and could be reconciled, and it was for the iury to
say how far and to wnat extent they were reconcila-
ble. The court then directed the stenographer to
read to the jury the letters '^passine between Adele
and her sister during the Summer immediately
after her alleged seduction, and in which
hot a single hint of an existing encagement
or her seduction by Del Valle, is given. His
Honor then said that it wan for a jury to decide
whether it was likely that if such an engagement or
such a seduction had taken place, there would be
no mention ot either in those con Bdeutial letters
between tbe plaintiff and her sister. The damaging
testimony of Mrs. Qaackenbush and otner outt>ide
witnesses was then reverted to, after which the
court closed with an injunction to the jury to free
tbeir minds ot all feeliuE or prejudice in the ex-
amination of the case, and to renaer exact instice
between the parties according to their oaths.
THE JURT LOCKED UP FOR THB NIGHT.
At the conclusion of the Judge's address, Mr.
Beach read a long list of exeeptijns to the charge,
and requests to charge tbe jurv anew upon certain
new points, most of which were declined. The
case was then given to the jury at 2:30 o'clock, the
jurymen being allowed half an hour for refreshment
previous to being locked up in their room. The
court was soon deserted by tbe parties to the case
and their ooonsel, the general expectation being
that the jury would require some little time before
coming to an agreement.
At 5 P. M. the Judge received word from the jury
tbat tbey had arrived at no decision. He thereupon
adjourned the court until 10 o'clock ibis morning,
and the jury were looked up for the night.
ME DON'T WANT HER.
A COLORED PARSON JILTS ONE OF HIS
FLOCK— MUCH INDIGNATION EXPRESSED
BY THE MEMBERS OF HIS CHUKCH.
The colored people ol Jamaica, Long Island,
are having a bit of gossip abont Kev. John Brouks
and Miss Martha Watson, a leading member of the
SbilohBtptistChutcb, and the best laundry-maid
in the village. The parties became acquainted
about a year ago at a colored camp-meeting, and
soon became attached to one another. Mr.
Brooka, whose father lives at Hempstead,
often visited Miss "Watson, frequently re-
maining in Jamaica three or four days at
a time. When they were apart, the mails were
often burdened with an extensive correspondence,
breathing an undying devotion, 'this was carried
on for some months, when Martha began to snspect
that lier lover bad sweethearts elsewhere, bat this
he invaiiably denied, protesting thai she was bis
first aud only love. On one occasion, however, the
proof of his peiflly oecame too obvious, and was
Juiuiahed by the following letter, which Martha
found in the pocKet of her adrairej-'s coat:
New-Xork, Avl% 7. 1876.
Dear John : It affords me mucu phasura to write ta
you and le t you know I :im well, aud sincerely hope

that 1 will take all your love. I don't think i will be
able to give anv away to your Irienus, for I love you
too dearly. I shall try to get you the plnce.
I would [hat you sbouia stay always with me. Every

with mv thcushiB on you ana you alone, my dearest
aud sweetest affeciiouate oul'.
P. S.— I am going to get rooms in New-York. Answer
soon. Adieu.
Martha was badly wounded on reading this
epistle, and when she accused Mr. Brooks of du-
plicity, it waa as much a-< he could do to give her a
soothing explanation. Uo succeeded, bowover, by
saying tbat the author of the letter was in love
with bim, but that lie cared ndihlng for her. Oa
0"t. 27, Bi^ooks vowed his iindyiug love for Mar-
ina, aud hoped the time would soon arrive when
tbey might wed. The next day sno received the
following ctuel epistle:

you may thtj lora beiess.
Oa the receipt of this note. Martha's rage knew
no bouuds. She immediatelv consulted counsel,
and proposed to sue the parsju for broach uf prom-
ise. This would haye been done, but for tbe tact
tbat, in the consultation between lawyer and client,
it was found out that Martha had been twice oiar-
riod, and that she had uo pronf of the death of her
second husband. There is much indignation in
chuich circles over the affair.

THE CRIMINAL RECORD.
MRS. CASSELMAN ARRAIGNED.
HER HUSBAND MAKKS A STATEMENT IN
COURT — TESTIMONY OF TWO OF HKR
VICTIMS — THB PRISONER REMANDED TO
THE TOMBS.
Mrs. Gasselman was taken from the Tombs
yesterday morning by Capt. Kennedy, of the Ninth
Precinct, to the "Washington Place Police Court for
examination before Justice Bixby. The prisoner
looked pale and anxious. There was a careworn,
pinched expression on her features, and her
whole appearance was that of a woman
who had had a sad experience through life.
Capt. Kennedy informed Justice Bixby that the
nusband of the prisoner was in court, and tbe
Justice expressed a wish to hear what he had to
say. When Mr. Caaselman's name was called the
prisoner turned her head away to avoid eeeing her
husband. He seemed to be equally anxious to
overlook her presence, and during bis stay in court,
each studiously avoided recognizing the other.
Mr. Casselman was not called upon to testify; be
spoke la a low tone of voice to the Jastice, and in
answer to Judge Bixby 's inquiries be made tbe
following statement :
The prisoner is my wife. I have been told that
she is cbargeU with larceny and swintllmg boarding-
house keepers. I first made her acquaintance eight
years ago, when she renresented herself to me ns
being very wealthy. She claimed that she owned
two brown-stone houses in Fifth avenue, and gold
mine stock in California. When I married her I
was surprised to see her dressed so shabbily, be-
lieving that a woman of her reputed wealth would
wear better clothes. Later I was told that she was
poor, and that her boasted wealth was all a sham to
get a husband to support her. This and other
reasons influenced me to leave her. We could not
live happily together and we finally agreed to a
mutual separation. I did not hear any more abtrat
my wife until the nth of la4t September, when
some ugly stories reached my ears about the sort of
life she was leading.
After making this statement, he wa? told by Jus-
tice Bixby that he might leave the court if he
ple.i6ed, a privilege which he took immediate ad-
vantage of.
Mrs. Eleanor F. Bishop, who keeps a fishionable
boarding-house at No. 98 Fifth Avenue, was called
to testify. She stated tbat she first made the ac-
quaintance of Mrs. Casselman at the Maltby House
two years ago. The prisoner, on her own repressn-
tations, was considered wealthy. She spnke fre-
quently of her fortune, and no one disputed ber
word. On the 223 of October the prisoner came to
her house and said that she desired to secure board
and ample aocommodaiions in '' tbe shape
of a suite of furnished rooms. She still
represented* herself as being very^ wealthy.
As if to corroboiate her statement, she exhibited a
bogus receipt for $150 for professional services,
purporting to be signed by Eiward P. Wilder, a
lawyer, wtiose office is at No. 243 Broadway. Wit-
ness fell an easy victim to this deception, as she
was well acquainted with Mr. Wilder, and believed
that the receipt was genuine. She rented her a
suite of furnished rooms, with board, where the'
prisoner remained until the morning of Nov. 2,
when she suddenly disappeared, leaving a bill of
$475 unpaid.
A sworn statement was read from Mr. Wilder
denying that he ever gave her a receipt of any
kind, and that she never paid him money for pro-
fessional or other services. Ebenezer H. Biloh, re-
siding at"" No. 568 Seventh avenue, charged Mrs.
Casselman with stealing several articles of value
from bis house while she was boarding there dur-
ing the months of July and August last. The ar-
ticles he accuses her of stealing are: a quan-
tity of ladies' wearing apparel, one pair of
shell ear-rings, and a shell chain and locket.valued
altogether at (125. At this time he was residing at
No. 160 West Forty-sixth street. Mr. Balch bad
ber arrested on this charge, and the stolen articles,
be alleges, were focmd in her possession.
Mrs. Casselman pleaded not guilty to both of
these cbartres, and Justice Bixby remanded her to
the Tombs in default of $1,000 bail on each of the
complaints. Her case will come up for further
hearing next Mouday.
Dr. Brekes's oertihcate of lunacy has been sent to
the District Attorney's ofBcp. ' He still believes
that she is a monomaniac. He visited ber in ber
cell at tbe Tombs last evening and held .a long
conversation with her. He states that tbe more he
converses with her, and the more he studies her
character, the more firmly he is convinced that she

THE DEATH OEJOHN DOOLET.
HB IS SENT TO THE TOOMB WITH A FRAC-
TURED SKULL, AND DIE3 IN BELLEVUE
HOSPITAL— VERDICT OF THE CORONER'S
JURY.
An inquiry intb the circumstances attending
tbe death of John Dooley, a truckman employed by
Messrs. Tracy &. Itnsaell, of No. 71 Greenwich
street, was held yesttrday by Coroner Woltman.
Dooley fell irom his truck on the 14 ;h inst. at
Thirty-fifth street and Broadway, and was taken
to the Twenty-ninth Precinct by a policeman who
found him unconscious on the sidewalk. At the
statf6n a Police Surgon decided that tbe injured
man was under the influence of liquor. After
having been looked up in a cell all night the pris-
oner was arraigned on a charge of intoxicaiion at
the Washington Place Police Court before
Justice Kasmire, wbo, on the afiSdavic
if the officer committed him to the City Prison for
ten days in default of $10 fine. Being delirious he
was put in a padded cell, and on the toUowIng
morning was sent to Bellevue Hobpital, where he
died on the 18th inst. from the effects of a fracture
of the skull.
Dr. J. E. Stillwell, one of the Bellevue Hospital
Surgeons, testified that Dooley was rec-ived at the
hospital at 11 A. M. on the 16th inst. His case ex-
hibited marked signs of Jbrain tronblf, his pulse
was slow, and he was in a semi-conkoious condition,
from which he was aroused with difficulty. Paraly-
sis of the left side of the face supervened, and be
died on the 18th inst. at 6:30 P. M. The post-mor-
tem examination of tbe body disclosed' a fracture of
the skull and laceration of the brain. There was
no evidence to show that the mah had been under
the influence of liquor at the time be was arrested,
or to lead to the belief tbat he was a person of in
temperai^e habits.
Patrolman John Conklin, of tbe Tw6nt.y-ninth
Precinct, swore that while on post m Thirty-fifth
street, on Nov. 14, a ladv told him tbat a man bad
been run over by a truck, and was lying uncon-
scious, near Broadway. Be went to the place and
saw a man lying senseless on tbe sidewalk. The
man, and tbe truck from which he had fallen, which
was standing near by, were taken to the Twenty-
ninth Precinct Station, and Dr. Saterlee, the Police
Surgeon of the district, was summoned, and, afier
applying restoratives, said that the man was intox-
icateo. On recovering from the stupor, he gave his
name as John Dooley, of No. 29 Peiry street, and
was locked up on a charge of intoxication. At the
Washington Place Police Court, on the following
m'oruing, he was arraigned before Justice Kasmire,
who committed him to prison for ten days, in de-
fault of $10 fine.
Patrolman McEeilly, of the Twenty-ninth Pre-
cinct, testified tbat the prisoner had lold him on
the mornins: after his arrest that he baa drank ale
and whisky on the day tne accident occurred. ,
Dr. BrcKcs, the prison pbysici*D, stated that
when he examined Dooley ia the cell, he found no
evidence of external violence. He treated bim for
congestion of tbe bri>in, and ordered the removal
of lUe man to the hospital.
Dr. Saterlee, the Police Surgeon, te-^tifled that on
arriviog at the Police Station ne fi)und Dooley in-
sensible and apparently under t,ht» influence of
liquor ; he was iutormad that Dooley had fallen
from a truck, and on e.xamining bis head found a
lump on tbe riirbt side ; witness adminiiitered am-
monia, and told the Police to detain the man until
the effects of the liquor had passed ofif. The jury
gave a verdict ot death from injuries acci;ieiitiy re-
ceived, and added, " We deem that Justice J£a8-
mire did not use proper discretion in the case, and
that the deceased should have been sent to a hospi-
tal 01 to the cate of his friends, intead of to a
prison."
THE BOLDEST BVKGLAKY YET. '
Mr. Peter Mager, the'proprietor of a lager-
beer Ealoon at No. 1,071 Second avenue, called on
Superintendent Walliug yesterday morning, and re-
lated to him the particulars of one of the boldeat
burglaries that has ever occurred in this City. Mr.
Mager states that he closed up his saloon at mid-
night on Thursday night, and ac about 5 o'clock
yesterday morning he was awakened by the
patrolman on post, who informed him that his place
had been broken into and robbed by burglars. On ex-
amining the premiies he found thatthe burglars had
entered the place by unlocking the front aoor, and
bad carried otf a Herring's safe, about three feet
square and weiebing nearly tijUt hundred pounds,
loo site contained 420 in ciirrenc.y, two insurance
policies — oneof tbe Bowery Fire luMuraiice Company
and the other of tbe ilauulaclurers and Builaer's
Company— title deeds of property at No. 135 Pitt
sireo', No, 1.071 Second avenue, and No. 1,220 Third
avenue, and a oond for $2,000 of the ilanufactaiers'
and Builders' Asaociation. The burglars doubtless
had a truck employed in removing the safe, aud
how they escaped ihe iiniice of the patrolman on

A VOTED HOTEL THIEF CAPTURED.
For some weeks past Messrs. Allen &; Dam,
proprietors of the Astor House, have been annoyed
by a series of petty thefts which occurred almost
daily. On Friday last. Detective Walling, of the
Twenty-Seventh Precinct, watched the corridors of
the hotel very closely. His attention was attracted
by the suspicieus movements of an
elderly man, apparently respectable, who was
seen continually lounging about the hotel
without any apparent business. Testerday morn-
ing the detective (.laced on the table in Boom 107
^ia own (told watoh and ohain, and leariag the door
unlocked secreted, biinself in a room on tbe oppo-
site side of the oorridor and watched for further
developments. In a few moments the susoected
old man came along, and finding the door of No. 107
«pen, he entered, and in a few moments came out
with the detective's Watch and chain in his hand.
Walline arrested him and took him to the
Church Street Police Station, where he gave
the name of William Weston, and his
age as sixty-three. Subsequently the prisoner
was brought to Police Head-quarters, where be
was recognized as William Connelly, one of the
smartest hotel thieves in the country. His alias is
" Bufialo Bill," and be is said to be the husband of
Mag Duval, the notorious shoplifter, wbo is now
••ervins a term of impriaonnent at Smg Sing for a
robbery at H. B. Claflin & Co.'s store. After being
photographed, the prisoner was arraigned before
Justice Duffy, at the Tombs, and committed for
trial in default of $1,500 bail.
A DISHONEST CLERK
PACTS IN THB CASE OF WILLIAM E. SINCLAIR
—HE USES HIS BMPLOYBB'S MONEY TO
PAY HIS LOSSES IN WALL STREET.
The facts in relation to tbe charge of em-
bezzlement made against William £. Sinclair, con-
fidential clerk of H. L. Horton <fe Co., bankers at
No. 56 Broadway, appear to be as follows : He had
long been in the employ ot Horton & Co., and had
the use of checks signed in blank by the firm. He
engaged in stock speculations some two years ago,
and was almost always successful up to
-October last, when ho lost a considerable
amount beyond his means. In order to
make this good, and, as he says, with the expec-
tation of replaclns the money, he filled in checks
on the Phontx Bank, with which tho firm bad an
account, with a much larger amount than he en-
tered on tbe stubs ot the check-book, so that near
the end of tbe month he bad drawn about $8,000
more out of the bank than the stubs indicated.
The firm's bank account ''was to be balanced
on the 30th of the month, and in order
that he should not be detected, Sinclair borrowed
$8,000 from a friend and deposited it iu the bank to
the firm's credit before the time mentioned. To pay
this debt and to secure additional money to operate
with, in the hope of making enough to replace the
money due the firm, he filled in a check
tor $16,500, which was deposited in the Union
Trust Company. .The President of tho company
suspected something wrong, and the check was
sent to the Teller ot the Phenix Bank, who trans-
mitted it to Horton & Co.'s to ascertain its gen-
uineness. This caused Sinclaii's detection, and be
confessed bis guilt. Suit was begun against him by
the hrm to recover the$8, 000 whicn he had embezzled,
and be was arrested and lodged in Ludlow Street
Jail on the4 h Inst., in default of $8,000 ball. Tbe
object in arresting him was a precautioaary one,
there being some expectation tbat he could com-
mand Rufficieut means to discharge the obligation he
had incurred. He raised about $3,000, which be
paid the firm, and avows his intention to
pay the balance, if possible. The question aa
to whether criininal proceeoings shall be taken
against him will be decided on the return to this
Ciiy of Mr. Horton, who is now absent in Europe.
Sinclair says tbat he speculated with his own
money up to October.
A HOTEL ATTACKED BY A MOB.
The attempt on the part of Anthony Salter,
of Biiyonne, N. J., who holds a mortgage upon the
Willow Haven Hotel, to drive Mrs. Miller, the
present lessee, out of the building, led to an out-
break on Thursday. Anthony Salter, Samuel OJell
and a score of roughs approached the hotel, and
entered by battering down the door. Salter and
Odell were arrested and held in fSOO each, to appear
for examination to-day, and warrants were also
issned for the arrest of Abraham and John Salter,
D. Nowland, George Peet and others, who were
concerned iu the assault. Mrs. Miller, through
coansel. applied yesterday to Sheriff Laverty for a
force of specials lo protect her from mob violence.

ining the premises a bnll-dog was found in a rear
stable. He was in a bad condition, havine large
cuts on the ho?.d, from which the blood was flow-
ing. He could hardly staud or see, from the
wounds in his legs and head. Tbe dog was brou:iht

FORGED CHECKS.
For tbe past two months, a number ot forged
checks on the firms of C. G. Gnntber's Sons and
C. Godfrey Guntber, ranging from $30 to $100, and
aggregating about {6,500, have been uttered on tbe
Mechanics' National Bank. The checks came in

THE FRANKLIN HULL IN PORT.
The faigate Franklin is anchored oft the Bat-
tery, but sbe is no more accessible to visitors than
if she were still at sea. The orders from Wash i fag-
ton to permit no one to board her except Commo-
dore Nicholson and the New- York SberiffandDls'trtot
Attorney have not yet been countermanded. 'Viait-
iug officers from theNavv-vard were not allowed to
go on board yesterday, aud the bumboat men had
to dispone of their wares 10 the sailors at the side
of (he vessel. A young man, who is believed by
those who saw him to bo Wiilidm M. Tweed, Jr.,
went to Pier No. I Nortn River, in
the afternoon, and asked a boatman to
false him to tbe Franklin. When lold that
be would not be permitted to ro od board, he said he
mert-ly wished to pay for the liquors Mr. Tweed
had used on the voyage, and added that the
boatmau could take "tbe mone.v for him. He
then Eave Coady, tbe canman, fifteen dollars, and
went away. The Frankiin has not yet begun to

Btory which seemed to substantiate her claim, and
was to the following effect : About eleven years
ago, finding it difficult to support her new-bom
child, she advertised for a nur»«. A womaa
giving the name of Maesey answered the advertise-
ment, and the child was surrendered to her keep-
ing. Four months later tbe woman disappeared,

husband traced Mrs. Massey to Brooklyn, and

sent to the Child's Nursery, from which place she
Had been adopted by John and Mary Larrabee. The
Larrabees were traced from one section of the
city to another, but were never found until the

believed now that the child will be restored to her
rightful parents, Justice Kiley and Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Snell having interested ^emselves
to subserve this end.

^^MSoatb Carolina Democratic Supreme
Court met yesterday morninft, and adjudged
each of the members of the Board of Can-
yaasers in contempt, condemning them to
pfty a fine of $1,500 each, and to be im-
prisoned in the oouaty jail until farther
order of the conrt. They were
all arrested at 5 o'clock in the afternoon,
and lodged in jail. This action
hfta eansed maoh speculation iu Waahins:-
ton, and it is expected that Jud<;e Bond,
of the United States Circuit Court, mil
issne writs of habeas corpus, and thus the
whole matter will be thrown into the United
States Courts. A concise statement of the
proceediniis will be found in our
dispatoh from Columbia this morning.
The oonrt at its afternoon session,
Tefbsed to order the Secretary of State to
iasoe certificates of election to the Demc^
eratio candidates from Edgefield and Lau-
rens oonnties, but instructed the Demoorat-
ie lawyers that a record of the proceedings
might be bad of the Clerk, and this
-would be equivalent to a certificate.
The application for a mandamus in
the case of the Presidential Elec-
tors was taken under advisement.
The Louisiana Eetnrnmg Boarll did not can-
vass the returns from any parishes yester-
day, bat aanoanced the consolidated vote
from eiicht parishes which are the subject
of contest, and marked them for
hearing in the week following. In
Florida, tbe whole legal proceedings
•will probably fall to the ground. The
Democrats asked that Grov. Stearns be en-
joined iTom canvassing the vote of the
State, and for a mandamus compelling the
Board of Canvassers to commence the canvass
forthwith. No decision was given by the
court yesterday, and as the Grovernor swears
he never intended to canvass the vote, and
the board, it is announced, will commence
work to-morrow at noon, there will be no
necessity for ^ther injunction or man-
damus. The returns from nearly all the
counties are now in. The absolnte control
the Democrats have in some districts of the
State is showu by their turning back the
Bepubhcan messengers because they were
not provided with the requisite Democratic
"Msaes. And this is a free country I

ttoeetal Difoateh to the yew- Tom: Times.
Columbia, Nov. 25. — It is important to
Jmow the exact lejial Katua here, involving the
resale of the election. The present action of
tb« Sapreme Court is, to say the least,
wboUj unprecedented in this State. Tbe
Board of State Canvassers have exercised
noebailenged, since 1868. tbe power to examine [ Georgia.
ail election retaras safBciently, to discharge
tbeir datv according to their beat judgment.
No court baa ever before claimed any power to
■opervise or revise their action, stili. less to
res:rain or coerce the boar J. It is not
ani'eaAonab'e to say mat the present
eova^e ot tbe Supreme Court is sug-
gestive of influences winch do not properly
belong to the judicial character or funciiona ol
the court. Chief Justice Moses has never been
tmsted personally or politically by any party
in this State. Judge Willard has been
known to have been m free conterence
with the Democratic leaders here and from
tbeNorth, and is also a trequent but always dis-
ap^inted aspirant for poatical honors at the
hands of the Bepublicans bare. Tnese tacts
render tbe coarse of tb^ court somewhat
more explicable. Neither Moses nor
WiUsrd were regarded as Republioans, or
iriendlv to Bepublioan success In tbe late
eaavass. It is tbe remark of all respectable
and nnnrejadiced observers here that the real
eounsel lor the Democrats are Judges Moses
and Willard. Suggestions constantly corns to
tbem from the ooori ; time is given them wi^h-
Cttt tbe asidng to repair mistakes, and
ar^ments and rules 2re made and
granted by the court before the conn-
eei have xsalled for them. The present
proceedings beeaa iu a compendious omnibus-
like applicacion to the court for a writ of pro-
bibicion and maodamus — an anomaly in legal
pleadings, minglmjj things entirely uncoa-
nectednn one application- When tbe Board of
State Canvassers appeared and answered, the
court grantea an order which no man with one
grain of Jogal sense orlear:iiug could fail to pro-
nounce an outrage and a trick. This order
reqmred the Board ot Canvassers to
aici:regate the returns ot the counties, and to
report the result to tbe court. The object of
this was plain. Neither tbe court nor its Dem-
ocratic advisers were sure what the result of
tbe canvass would be. They tHerefor* deter-
aained to get beioi-e tbem tbe results be-
fore they made any further order or decree ;
in other words.the court undercook to ascertain
the precise political effect of an order before
they granted it. Tlii» action of course opened
tbe eyes of all to the partisan intentions of the
y>urt. The Board of Cemvassers made the re-
^rt. and then the plot was lully developed.
Tbe court immediately allawed the Democratic
lawyers to amend tbeir pleadings, or rather to
: aubstitute new pleadings, by dividing their
fonner applicatioii into six separate applications,
intended to cover all the different brandies of
tbeeleotioue, viz., Congresaaien, Elector:,, State
»fi&cet'St members of the General Assembly,
loonty officers, and circuit solicitors. Having
Mid out the work in this way, no difficulty was
leltby the court in framing orders which wooid
acoompiish the desired result. Naturally, the
chief object of the conspirators was to
ftecur» the election of Hampton, and through
^hva and a Democratic Legislature to
secure the Electoral vote of the State for Til-
den, It is a wholly mistaken view to imixglue
that Tilden has been lest sight of ; but the
State can only be secured for Tilden throujih
Hampton. One part of tbe plan was te keep
the Board of Canvassers in session until after
tttA meeting oi the Legisla^zira *>uL
the inanguration of Hampton. Then anew
Board of Canvassers, "all Democrats, would
take up and complete the work left undone b.y
the old boaid. To accomplish this, the court
gravely hinted that whatever time was ocou-
'"pied by the court in reaching its conclusions,
would not count in the ten days allowed the
board by the statute in which to complete their
work — a suggestion repugnant to every legal
mind. If this plan had succeeded, the result
is clear; but thanks to the Board of Canvass-
ers and their advisers, the plot failed. Ten
days only are allowed the board. There is no
dispute about this. Ten days would expire,
excluding Sunday, on Wednesday, the 22d
inst. While, therefore, the court was moving
leisurely along to the consumatiou of
the plot, the Board of Canvassers had
their eyes on the court, and fully
divine its purpose. Tbe board did not propose
to allow the vote of the State to be decided by
any tribunal except itself, especially not by a
court 80 manifestly active iu the sole interest of
the Democratic shot-gun leader.^ here and in
New-York. On Weuneaday, the 22d inst.,
therefore, they proceeded in the exercise
of their proper powers to declare
the election according to law and
according to the evidence betore them. In
Edgefield and Laurens counties, thev found
such widespread and prevailing violence and
fraud, that they I'efuacd to declare the candi-
dates of either party elected. Having dis-
obarge'l tbeir full duty in all respects, the
Board ot Canvassers adjourned sine die.
Here it should be remembered, that no order
■ ot the court had then been made knowri to
tbem, which was in any way violated by
their adjournment. Subsequently, on the
same day, the order of the court requiring
them to certify the election of all members of
the Legislature, including Edgefield and Lau-
rens Counties, was served on them ; but they
had adjourned, and were functus officio> The
cunning of the court should be noticed in
granting this last-named order. By it
they knew they could compel, if the
order was obeyed, the seating in the House of
Representatives of a majority of Democrats.
This House would, of course, choose a Demo-
cratic Speaker,-who would on the face of the
returns declare Hampton elected, fiov. Cham-
berlain would then be forced to apply
to the Legislature tor the right to
contest Hampton's election. This question
of entertainmg Chamberlain's contest would
be decided by a concurrent resolution of both
houses. The Democrats of the House would
refuse to concur in the resolution, and then
Cbamberlain'a rights would have been finally
foreclosed, and Hampton would remain Gov-
ernor with no chance of disputing his election.
Alter this the plot could be carried forward
with ease. The new Board of Canvassers would
have undone as far as possible the work
ol the former board ; would have elected a
United States Senator ; given new certificates
to the Tilden Electors, and thus in every point
achieved perfect success lor the shot-gun De-
mocracy. The rage of the court, their Democratic
advisers, and their whole hand of
conspirators at the action of the Board
of Camvassers, knew no bounds. In pri-
vate interviews the Judges stormed and raved.
They talked not like judicial officers, but like
the political conspirators thsy are. Yesterday
when the court convened a stormy scene was
witnessed. Attachments for contempt were is-
sued against the members of the Board of Can-
vassers, returnable at 4 P. M., and what is most
ludicrous of all, the Democratic lawyers in-
sisted on and obtaiaed an attach-
ment against Hon. D. T. Corbin,
the chief legal adviser of the
board, and they actually asked for a similar
attachment against Hon. A. T.. Kerman, who
had, two days before, left here for his home in
At 4 P. M. the court reconvened
and proceeded to instruct their Democratic
attorneys to draw up orders of commitment
against the board, but waived all action against
Mr. Corbin. Judge Willard, unable to preserve
even the appearance of judicial decorum, de-
livered from the bench the most incendiery and
partisan harangue yet heard during all these
exciting times. It was a pitiful sight to see
this man, holding such a position, livid with
rage, pouring out his furious and incoherent
malice; but we are becoming used to all sorts
ot indecencies in this desperate game of over-
whelming a lawful Republican majority of
25,000 in this State.
It is apparent to all candid legal minds that
the orders and actions of the court are intended,
under the false guise ot a mandamus — which is
a writ well known only to issue directing a
public officer to do what the law requires him
to do without the exercise of discretion or
judgment — to fully direct and control the
Board of Canvassers in what the laws of
the State gave them the sole power to act on,
with judgment and determination ; and thus
^or the court to act as if it had appellate juris-
diction of election returns, and of the acts ot
the board, and itself adjudicate and decide the
election, in flagrant usurpation of power. This
attempt of the court will probably be defeated
by the honesty and courage of the members of
the board in peaceably coirg to jail, rather
than obey the orders of the usurping tribunal.
TO-DAY'S PROCKKD IN GS.
It being generally known that the gentlemen
comprising the Board, of State Canvassers,
would be punished for contempt this morning
every foot of standing r* om in the Court room
was occupied five minutes after the doors were
thrown open. The Democratic lawyers were
in full force, heavy-laden with orders
and motions. The court bad adjourned
to meet at 10:30 o'clock, but it was
11:30 beiore the Judges took their seats. Gen.
Conner passed up the amended orders in the
contempt case. The Chief Justice said that it
not appearing to the court that the writ of
mandamus is to bo obeyed, after waiting till
this moment tor s mie iutimation to that effect,
it will proceed to announce it» judgment. The
following is the order in the case ot Controller
General T. C. Dunn, the others being similar:
Order. — It is now ordered that T. C. Dunn is
in concempt ot this court, and it is ordered
that he do pav a fine of $1,500, and that the
Sheriff ot Richland County do take h.m, the
said T. C. Dunn, into cusiody, and coiiline him
ill the common jail of aairi county until he be
discharged by the order of this coui't.
F. J. Moses,
Great applause followed this order which
applies equally to all the meiubers of the
Boiird of Cauvassers. The contempt case of
Mr. Corbin was then called, and he read his
return to the rule. His return was a complete
answer and rather nonplussed the Court. The
Democratic counsel at last asserted that the
order served on Mr. Corbin had not been cor-
rectly copied. Tbe Chief Justice at once gave
permissian for a new rule to be served
on Mr. Corbin, returnable at four o'clock
on Monday. The Court then proceeded
to the consideration of the next branch ot th'e
case — viz., returns of respondent in case of
Electors for President and Vice President. The
Chief Jiutice a&ked the alerk If any returns
had been made by the respondent. The clerk
answered no. Mr. Corbin said a return
had been filed yesterday — the one which the
court bad suggested that he had better reflect
upon. He had reflected upon it, and they had
no other return to file. Air. Rion took up tbe
question of Electors, which he said was differ-
ent from the other duties of the board.
To define these duties we must look to the
statutes of the United States, which left it to
the States to determine how Electors should be
elected.
Justice WiUard wished to hear if the board
could be reconvened to discharge the duty im-
posed upon It by the Legislature, and desired
counsel to adiress himself to that point. A
question here occurred as to what was the
record, before the court, and counsel on both
sides Ai^re requested to give their 'views on
the situation. Messrs. Kion and Corbin gave
their respective views on the severance, and
the condition m which it left the case
at the present stage. Rules, writs, and orders
were found to be too many for the Democrats
and the court, and the confusion ot both be-
coming painfully evident, the court suggested
that the counsel for relators retire for oonaul-
tation. Mr. Corbin thought it might be as well
for them toremember that they were bound bv
the record as it was. The court frowned at his
levity, and took a recess imtil 4 o'clock.
Later. — All the member of the board were
arrested at 5 o'clock, and are now in the Coun-
ty JaiL The court is still hearing argument
on the mandamus in regard to the Presidential
Electors. If it is issued it will fur-
nish ibod for another contempt case,
and the five other mandamus cases one for
each class ot candidates voted for on the 7th
inst. There is very little excitement in the
city, but an intense anxiety as to what may
happen on Tuesday next, when the Legislature
meets. The Democrats assert that ten thou-
sand armed men will be in the city.
ASTO>'ISHMKNT IN WASHINGTON AT THE
action of the SUPRKMK court — SPKC-
ULATI0N8 AS TO THK FUTURE POSSI-
BILITY OF JUDGE BOND, OF THE
UNITED STATES COURT, GRANTING WRITS
OF HABEAS COKPUa.
Special Dispatch to the New- York Times.
Washington Nov. 25. — Tbe news of the
action ot the 6ourt in South Carolina was an-
ticipated here by many persons, but perhaps
the greater number were astonished that the
court could have carried assumption of
power to such an extent. There is much
interest to know what the Administration
will do, as if it would do anything. One absurd
outline of future proceedings is that the Presi-
dent will order Judge Bond to open the United
States Court and set the members of the Re-
turning Board free on writs of habeas corpus.
This action, they say, will be followed by the call-
ing ot a posse comitatus to enforce the orders
of the State court and the use of the military
to sustain the orders of Judge Bond, from
which a collision may occur. The impeach-
ment pf Judge Bond by the House is also
talked of, and the chain of circum-
stances is made of great length. The be-
lief of Republican lawyers here is that
Judge Bond will grant writs in favor of
the members of the board, and 'that they will
be released. This is believed to be right and
legal. Judge Bond cannot of course be or-
dered by the President or anybody else to open
his court, but will probably do so of his own
volition. Of course his action will be sustained.
The solemn remarks of Judge Wdlard, in whiuh
he claims that his court is invested with
majesty and speaks with the voice of God, are
rather humorousl.y treated and are often
alluded to. The idea that the anticipated ac-
tion of Judge oBond can lead to violence and
bloodshed is not entertaiaed in the slightest
degree by the gentlemen who have just re-
turned from that State. '^

requires the Board of State Canvassers to make
comparative returns cf the County Canvassers and

Tallahassek, Nov. 25. — Messrs. Webster
and HamDlen, who went South from here a few
days sinc^ to bring back evidence of Democratic
frauds already established, were stoppe4 in
Sumpter Couaty by Democratic reformers.
They were asked for passes from the Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee before being
allowed to proceed. As they did not possess
the requisite indorsement, they were ordered
to retreat, but not before being asked for any
private papers in their possession. This at-
tempt to rob them of their instructions was
frustrated.
Judge White still reserves his decision in the
injunction and mandamus cases.
The Canvassing Board will begin their work
on Monday, the 27th, at 12 o'clock.
An illustration of the coercive methods
adopted by the DemBcrats here Is given in the
following resolutions adopted in the County of

were scattered profusely all over the county

Tallahassee, Nov. 23.— The Board of Canvassers
received notification this morning from tbe Secre-
tary ( f State, who is ex-ofBcio a member of the
board and charged with aesembling it, that they
must meet at noon on Monday to canrass the vote
of tfie State.. The Judge has not yet decided tbe
ioinnction and mandamus oases now pending
before him, and this action of the
board seems to obviate the necessity
of a decision, as this is precise-
ly what the Democratic managers praved the conrt
to commnnd. The board will admit a committee of
five from each of the political parties, and the Chair-
men of the State Committees to its sessions. The
admission of newspaper correspondents has not
yet been decided upon. The oflacial returns are all
in ; hut the result will hardly be reached before the
6th of December, when the laws of the United
States require that the Electors' certificates mudt be
issued.
HE
JUDGE ROBERTSON'S VIEWS.
HOLDS THAT THE STATE IS FAinLY
EEPUBLICAN, AND THAT THE RETURNS
WILL SHOW A MAJORITY FOR HAYES —
THE GOVERNOR AND THE BOARD OF
CANVASSERS.
Hon. William H. Robertsou, of West-
chef ter, returned home from Tallahassee yester-
day, whither he had gone at the request of the
President, in company with several other
gentlemen from New-York, to see that the
canvass of the election returns in Florida was
fairly conducted. He was obhged to leave
Florida before the canvass was com-
menced— indeed before the returns from
all the counties had been received at the
capital. le states, however, that from what
he was able to learn before his departure, he
has BO doubt, when the vote has been can-
vassed, it will appear to all fair-minded men of
both parties that the Republicans have car-
ried the Stat» by a fair mnjonty. Gov.
Stearns, he says, never contemplated can-
vassing the vote lor Electors himself, though
had he done so it would have simply
been in accordance with precedent. Four
years ago the Governor canvassed the
vote, and no objection was made from any quar-
ter. The Board of State Canvassers is com-
posed of gentlemen who are held m high esteem
by their neighbors, and consists of two Repub-
licans and one Democrat. He has no doubt
that they will count the vote fairly and in ac-
cordance with tbe law and the facts. Florida
is a Republican State beyond peradventure on
a fair vote and an honest count. During
Judge Robertson's stay in Tallahassee
many instances of the outrageous treatment of
the colored men were brought to his notice.
These will no doubt be set forth before the
Board of Canvassers. The high character of
Judge Robertson, his love of justice, and his
well-known impartiality and fairness, entitle
his opinions to the great weight with which they
will imdoubtedly be everywhere received.

SIGNIFICANT COMMENT ON MR. HEWITT'S
TELEGRAMS TO THE SOTTTH — RATHER
LOUD WAR TALK AND BLUSTER IN NEW-
ORLEANS— DOGS THAT WANT MORE WHIP-
PING— THE SESSIONS OF THE REIURN-
ING BOARD.
By Telegraph from Our Special Correspondent.
New-Orleans, Nov, 25.— Mr. Abraham S.
Hewitt and other prominent friends of Mr.
Tilden recently sent telegrams all over the
South congratulating the press and the
people of this section upon "their heroic
conduct in bearing the Radical oppres-
sion in so calm and law-abiding a
spirit." Of course these dispatches were
intended to bring the people of the North to
believe that all the statements made by Re-
publicans of Demooratio outrages and .breaches
of the peace were untrue and unworthy of
credit. The following article appeared this
morning in the Star, one ol the leading Demo-
cratic papers of New-Orleans. It tells its own
story. It gives a better idea ot the temper
of the people here than does Mr. Hewitt's tele-
gram :
The Democracy of this country are not a set of
sheep. Tney embody the principal fighting ele-
ment of the population. Were hostilities to break
out to-day, Bepublioa'n rsaistence would be scat-
tered to the winds in a month ; but,
besides the fighting capacit.v, they monopolize
also the nrinoipal military abilit.v of the country,
Laaving the South out of the question, the
Northern Democracy furnishes such names as
McClellan, Hancock, Hooker, Shields. Buell, &c. Is
it to be supposed that these men are aeleeo, or that
having their eyes open they can see what is going
on, and not comprobend its meaning ; and under-
stanQing its full meaning, will they permit their
friends to wait without movement until an active,
skillfull and unscrupulous foe shall have made every
preparation for an inevitable conflict? It appears
to us that Gen. Niobolla will have an indefensible
right to take the office to whicn he has been elected
when the proper time to do so arrives. Of course, it
would be, as a matter of 'ooliov, very improper
for him to do it unless fully assured of support
by the national Democracy, but with that sup-
port it might be good policy. Indeed, some
such movement may be the only way of scatter-
ing, betore it is together, the materials of the
trap which Grant is so cunningly preparing to
set at Washington.
The Returning Board occupied most of the
day in opening papers and affidavits and pre-
paring to consider the contested parishes.
East Baton Rouge will be taken up on Monday,
and both the Democratic and Republican coun-
sel will be admitted to th« executive session,
and allowed to examine witnesses.
THE WORK OF THE RETURNING BOARD.
Dispatch from a Vemocralic bource.
New-Oklkans, Nov. 25. — The Returning
Boaramet at 11:30 A. M. Present, for the Repub-
licans, Messrs. Stoughton, Van Alen, Wilson,
Kelley. and Parker; for the Democrats, Messrs.
Palmer, Trumbull, G. B. Smith, Blgler, ana Julian.
The miuutes having been read. Judge Spofford sug-
gested that the order for the production of the East
Baton Bonge ballot-boxes was not in the mmutes.
Gov. Wells said that the entry would be made in
the minutes to be adopted on Monday. He also
said that he must dispense with the reading ot any
protests or motion before the board; that all evi-
dence must be m before the close ot the coming
week, or the Doard would not De able to get through
with its deliberations.
Col. Zacharie inquired whether the board had de-
termined to fid the vacancy, as it was more neces-
sary to have a representative on the board toward
the close of its deliberations than at any other
time.
Gov. Wells stated the board had never taken any
action on the matter.
Col. Zach^rie asked if the hoard bad passed upon
any of tbe applications.
Gov. Wells said there only had been one presented
—that relative to Dt. Kenuey, Gov. Wells inti-
mated that tbe Democrats had lost any claim to
xe>reaent*ttoa oa the inwrd h-r Mx. Acrora'a j:Aug.
nation. He said the board ytonld try to fill the va-
cancy if they conld aeree on any one.
Col. Zacharie stated that the board on Friday
bad instructed an ofilcer to go after the returns
of Morehouse Parish, now m this city, but the
officer had declined to do so on the ground of being
•0 ordered by tbe board.
Gov. Wells replied that the board did not con-
aider they had any right to take the papers dnring
the absence of the Supervisors.
Col. Zacharie said he could prodaee an affidavit to
the eflfect that tbe returns from Franklin Parish—
a Democratic parish — had been several days in tbe
office of tbe Southern Express Company. Tney
were directed to State Registrar Hahn, but he de-
clined to take them out oli the ground ho would not
pay the express charges. Col. Zacharie asked if
the board would take steps to procare tbem.
Gov. Wells said the board had no funds to pay
the charge.*, the Xiegislaiure having failed to make
an appropriation. The members of the board were
unwilling to nsk their own means when their war-
rantaf were thirty cents on the d.ollar.
Col. Zachaile said the Democratic Committee
would defray the expenEes.
Gov. WickliS'e remarked that the charges onl.y
amounted to soventy-flve cents; and Col. Z icharie
baring offered to lurnish tbe clerk with means to
pa.y the expense the board consented to the returns
being taken out ot the express office.
Col. Zacharie asked if the board had come to any
conclusion relative to the use of certified copies of
duplicate returns with clerks ot the court. In cases
where tbe Superviaora failed to make tbeir returns
to the board.
Gov. Wells replied in the oegative.
Col. Zachano suggestea that tbe qaeitton came
up in the Bat6n Rooge case when under coosidera-
tion, ana he rhought the same action should be
taken.
Gov. Wells caid that point would be taken under
advisement and suggested that the ballot-boxes of
East Baton Bomge aliould be sent for on Monday.
Col. Zacharie stated that, nnless the necessary
telegram was sent to-day, the Supervisor with the
boxes would be unable to arnve in time, as he
would have to leave on the Sunday morning boat
in order to do sc.
G.iv. Wells said i^ shonld be done.
Mr. McGloin asked if the Democratic committee
wonld be accorded the nrivilege of cross-in rerroga-
tinn to the testinfony of Clover, Supervisor of E ist
Baton Kouge, and ihe three corroborative aifidavits,
and inquired if the board would order corrobora-
tive witnesses to be present on Mondav.
Gi>v. Weils replied that he could not communi-
cate wifb them.
Mr. McGloin stated that the witnesses were prob-
ably in the city.
Gov. Weils atated that the privilege of cross-in-
terrogation would be allowed., but the proceedings
of tbe board would not lie nb»trncted under any
oonsidnration. He said further that notice would hf
taken of the affldsvitit presented by both si'les, but
adhered to tbu ruling tbac affidavits should have
been filed wiihin ten days of tbe making up of the
returns.
Mr. Gantbreaux ask«d if protests would be enter-
tained after the returns had been sent to tbe clerk
fur cumnilacion ?
Go^. Wells answered in the negative, and said
that m the case of Natchitoches :the supplemental
report bad come in with tbe returns, but had been
overlooked.
Considerable discussion ensued on the question of
how long a time would be given for filing affidavits
after the case came no, it beine urged by Col. Zach-
arie that a gre%t pile of affidavits, &c., had been
filed in the East Baton Bouge case Saturday morn-
ing. Col. Zicharle desired lo know if there was not
some limit to this filing of affidavits ; otherwise the
Democraiic Committee would be nnable to tell
when the testimony tor the other side was all in.
Gov. Wells made no definite answer, only that
time would \)e given to get un testimony and oross-
intetioeations.
Ttie board tben went into ei^ecntive session, and
took up the Paribh of West Feliciana^
In executive session tbe Returning Board called
for the returns, and announced the following vote
from consoiidaied statements :
De Soto— Hayes, 698 ; Tilden, 1,305 ; Ouaohits—
Hayes, 793; Tiljjen, 1869; Lincoln— Haves, 331;
Tilden, 1,064 ; East Feliciana — Hayes, — ; Tilden,
1.737; West Teliciana— Hayes, 778 ; Tilden, 1.243;
Bicbianii— Hayes, 277 ; Tilden, 970; Caddo— Haves,
2,687; Tilden, 1.654; Sabine— Haves, 23 ; Tilden, 906.
Xue votes of these parishes were not. canvassed,
there being contests, which are fixed for hearings
next week. When the returns from parishes
marked "contested" were opened, the Democratic
counsel were allowed to be present. The returns
from Do. Soto Parish were brougbtin and contamed
in one package sealed with wax. When the seal
was broken by a member of the board, there were
lound inside a consolidated slatement of tbe votes,
tbe Commissioners' statements, and tbe tally sheets.
Attachea to the returns were a large
number of protests and affidavits. The
Secrerary of the board said the 'package had
been received on the 18rh inst., anu such an entry
was made in his receipt book. The returns, he
said, bad come by mail. In tbe course of an in-
spection ic was' discovered that one of the
protests of the *Snpervisoi8, cbtirging general
intimidation, was dated Nov. 25, and
sworn to in this city before a Commissioner of tbe
Circuit Court. Wnen called upon to explain how
a protest dated on toe 25th mat. — to-day — could get
into a sealed registered package received by mail
on the 18th inst., the Secretary said he had re-
ceived two packages. He was detected by one
of the Democratic counsel present in the act of
making another entry in his book of two packages
received. After some delay another package was
priiduced, and found to contain a oousolidated staie-
ment of votes and Cumoiissloners' retnrns, but no
protests or affidavits. The members of the board
were unable to. explain the matter, and Senator
Akerman of the Bepublican Visiting Committee,
remarked that there was no use to disguise the fict
that the returns had been opened and tickets in-
serted after the package of returns had been re-
ceived,
Tb^i affair created quite a sensation among the
membera of the committi:es present. The members
of the Democraiic committee were very outspoken
in the opici in that a fraud had been perpetrated,
anti the Bepublicans did not deny that the affair
had a very peculiar aspect. Democratic counsel
say that a similar thing has occurred in the case cf
otuer parishes, but as they were not admitted un-
til to-day there was no opportunity to discover
the frauds.

GOV. HENPRICKS' VISIT— HIS INTERVIEWS
WITH GOV. TILDEN — WHAT G^.iV. HEN-
DKICK3 SAYS.
Gov. Hendricks remained in his room at the
Fifth Avenne Hotel, yesterday morning, and Gov.
Tilden did not leave his residence until 11 o'clock,
when he and Mr. Parke Grodwin called on Gov.
Hendricks and had an hont's conversation. Abont
noon, Gov. Tilden dropped in at the Domecratic
Kati'inal Committee rooms at the Everett House,
remainiag only a short time, and then went down
town, returning to his residence early in the af.er-
uoon.. About 3:30 o'clock P. M., Gov. Hendricks
visited Gov, Tilden ac the latter's residence, re-
maining about an hour, when he returned to the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, and Gov. Tilden started
for a horseback ride. As soon as Gov.
Hendricks got to the hotel he began
preparaiions tor his return to Indianapolis. On his
being questioned relative to his interviews with
Gov. Tilden, he said that they had been almost en-
tirely of an informal character, being siibstamialiy
in the nature of a talk over the situation and an in-
terchange of views, they both agreeing ttiat the
pressure ot public opinion would probably necessi-
tate such action as would result in lair play
loeing given to the Democracy in tho three
Soucberu States. He [Gov. Hendricks] had heard
of the action of the Supreme Court in South
Carolina in fining and ordering the imprisonment
of the Board ot Canvassers, and, guided by the
light be had, he aiiproved the proceeding and did
n<it see how the court could have done otherwi-e
and maintained iis digni'y and iurisdictlon. He
exnreased himself satisfied that the Democracy, on a
fair Count, had earned both Florida and Louisiana,
and he relied on the force of public opinion
and the attention which bad been directed to those
States to geonre a fair result. He was going homo
to be present on Mondav at the proceedings of the
Board of State Cauvassers in Indiana, noc because
he had the exclusive right to conduct the proceed-
ings or canvass the votes as Gnveroor of the State,
for he had not that right, bu: fsmiliog] because he
took a great interest iu the canvassing business at
tho present time. Gov. Hendricks stariod last even-
iug on the 6 o'clock train on the Pennoylvania Bail-
road for Indianapolis, via Pittsburg.
IHE ELECTION FllAVDS IN ST. LOUIS.
St. Lodis, Nov. 25.— In the Metcalf-Frost
mandamus case, to-day, John F. Halsted, clerk of
election ai Precinct No. 57, testified that he
made up the poll-book of that precinct,
and that the original figures were 272 for
Prost, instead of 292. This witness did not
sustain himself very well on cross-examination,
it being shown that he had identified the wrong
book as the one that be had made up, and ble
recollection of some matters about which ha
was questioned being defective. Two news-
paper reporters
testified that th»y were
at the County Clerk's office pb ihn
Wednesday night tollowing the eiectiein to procare
the returns, and that when tbosa of tbe Third Con-
gressional Distiict were called off by one of the
Clerks^ the fi^mxea ,^oia_f rjKiaiMu.^ ~
272 for Frost, and that they were so printed in all
the city papers the next morning. ■ Other wit-
nesses will be examined on Monday next.
TEE TROOPS JN WASHINGTON.
EIOHT COMPANIES AT THE ARSENAL — PREP-
ARATIO.V8 MAKING FOB THE WINTER—
THE REGULAR DRILL T:> COMMENCE TO-
MORROW.
Special Digpateh to the Seto- York Timet.
Washington, Nov. 25. — The preparations
being made at the Arsenal for the accommoda-
tions of the eight companies of regular troops
DOW stationed there indicate that a mill-
tiry force will be kent here dnrinjj
the Winter. The storehousps and other
spare buildings have been fitted up
with sleeping bunks, mess-rooms, and kitch-
ensloi tbe several companies, and a force of car-
penters are fittiae up a storehouse which wa9
partially destroyed hy fire several years ago, as
a stable for horses. All the troops now here
are from various artillery regiments, but they
have been doing duty for some time past as in-
fantry, and are armed with the regulation
nfLe and trowel bayonet. These companies
will continue to do duty as iafautry unless an
emergency not now anticipated shall arise
requiring the use of artillery, when they can be
readil.y supplied with light batteries from tlie
large number of field-pieces stored at the
arsenal. A battery of the Second Artillery,
now stationed at Fort McHenry. Baltimore,
commanded by Capt. Joseph G, fiamsay, is
under orders to report here, and will
take up tbeir quarters at tbe Arsenal as
soon as the accommodations for their horses
are completed, which will be some time next
week. Since the arrival of the troops they
have been kept busy erecting aocommodations,
and except short company drills in the morn-
ing, and regular guard duty to maintain dis-
cipline, no military duty has been performed.
Hospital tents have been erected on the
graunds for tbe use of the guard. These
have been lined with board walls and
floors, and a stove put up in each tent, showmg
that the purpose is to keep the troops at the
Arsenal for some time. The regular Sosday
morning inspection will 'take place at 9
o'clock to-morrow, when Gen. Sherman and
staff will be present. Next week the daily
evening parade, and company and battalion
dnil, will be established, and the troons
will settle down to regular garrison duty.
They are an unusually fine body of m^, and
their quiet demeanor and soldierly bearing
evince a state ot disciDline highly
creditable to their officers. The military au-
thorities are reticent as to whether further ad-
ditions are to be made to the garrison ; but
from the preparations being hurried forward
at the Arsenal, and conversations with offi-
cers already here, it is inferred that about
eight companies of infantry will.be shortly
added to the present force. This
morning the band attached to the Artil-
lery School at Fortress Monroe, twenty-one
pieces,arrived here and reported at the Arsenal.
The band will remain here hereafter. Gen.
Barry is in immediate command of the force.
THE POLITICAL FEELING IN OHIO.
GOV. HAYES RETURNS TO THE STATE CAP-
ITAL—HOW BUSINESS MAY BE RESlfl^D
— THE VIEWS OE CAPITALISTS.
Special Dispatch to the Neva- York Timet.
Columbus, Nov. 25. — Gov. Hayes rettimed to
this city this evening after a week's absence, visit-
ing various State institations, and his home at
Fremont. He is in excellent health and spirits. The
existing political uncertainty causes considerable
business depression in Ohio, which it is confidently
believed will readily disappear in the event that
the election of Gov. Eu.ves shall be fully assure'!!.
Business men are apprehensive of the effects of
Democratic success, or factions opposition to
tho oonstitntional election of a Bepublican Presi-
dent, and are inclined to withhold their capital
from investment until they know what shall be tbe
course of political affairs, and the future financiaT
policy of the Government.

The unveiling of tho Webster statne in Cet*

and dlattnguubed gneats, and that on tbe left tut
the band. Tbe space immediately in front of tbe
stand wM separated from the aouieBce by • cer^oa
of ropes, eo that all crowding and tontidt in the
vicinity of tbe apeakera w*ce prevented. An «Ktz»
ferce ot Park Policemen vas also posted at uter.

waa the atatne itself, which towered ainrrm
the throng with an imposing grace wtaicb night
aotly be compared with thi^ promioenco of ita ^e-
tinguished prototype among hia fellowa. li ^t
Indeed a noble work of art, and one well worthy -gl
commemorating the fame of tbe great ctaampioD.^
the Conatltntion. Upon a maamve granite pedevtal.
ornunented at the aide with Corinthian eolriiniM
imbedded in stone, rises a magnificent broose efigy
of Webster, of heri'lo bize. Tbe flgnre ia attlxed in
the old.faahioned dreaa coat of thirty yeam afa^
with the right arm tlmutin the folda, and the left
hanging naturally at the aide. Behind the ficor*
tho trunk of a tree i« repreaented, partially covered
by a cloak. Tbe expresaion npoo tbe eoaate-
nance is one of ebmmanding <flrtaDe«a, aHghtly tia|ce4
with aadnesa, and beneath all an Intense menzal
power; which, together, form a happy reflsx ot
Webster's prevailing spirit, Upen tiie front of the
polished granite pedestal .is tbe iascrip-
tion taken from the redonbtaUe reply
to Hayne, "Liberty and Union, Now and forevec;'
One and Inseparable;" on tbe reyurae aire Um
words, "Presented by Gordon W. Bnmhara. Joly

Mr. Thomas Ball, and was modeled at Flt>re»oe
and cast in Munich. Its height ia Fourteen feeb
and its weight six tons. Tbe pedestal weicha
over one hundred tons, and la twenty feet in hagbt.
At two o'clock the ceremonies oomaaenced. The

to order by President . 'Martin. Mr. Gortlea W.
Bumbam, the diatinsoistaed donor, was theri intra
dnced, and presented tbe statue to tbe City in a (ev
graceful and modest words. The statae was then
unveiled by Master Thomas Bronnell Bumbam, the
son of Mr. Bumbam. Some little difficulty ocearred
m removing the large American flag wbioh en-
veloped the figure, bnt it was finally accomplished,
and tiien the applause of the aadieaee broice f actb
and contmned for several minntes. Unsie followed,
after which Mayor Wickbam in behalf of tbeCity*
accepted the gift with thanks. Then caae the
speeches of William H. Evarts and Hon. B.>bert C
Wintbroo, both of which in their respective waya
were models of eloquence Mr. Evarta' address was
a brilliant eulogy of the pnblio career and.
teaching, of Webster; that of tbe venerable
gentleman ftom Massachusetts iras the warm and
sympathetic tribute of a loving personal friend.
Each in their way merited and received the ea-
phatio approval of a large and ■ apprecutive aadi>
enee.
A- most interesting featore of the ooeanon was
the presence of Mr. Webeter'a wUe, twrnerly Care-
line Bayard I* Boy, who was a reaident of New-
York at the time of ner marriage with the deceased
B'-atesmau. and still lives in this City. This van .
erable lady was the object of general respect, And

THE PRESENTATION CEREMONIES.
The proceedings were opened by Mr. WiL'in^
E..MarUn, President of the Park Department^ wbe
said: /
To-day, In the chief Citv of bis country, \re plaaa
on a pedestal of granite, standing on t^e baate
rock, the sutue of* the man whose learniAg and elo-
quence did so much to establish the f/rinciplea ot
the country on enduring feundations— did so much
to fix in every heart that leve for, and faith in, Ae
Union which, like love and faith always, in tbe
crisis were our salvation. Surmoudting all diso<»d
of interests and opinions, through the blood of tbe
Bevolntion, a century age, our fathers laid the
fotmdationa of the BeiKiblia -^
In the middle of tne century these foosdatioa%
were opened, fandamental prindplss were asitatea
anew, were resettled, aad planted in the hearts of
the people. In our day they have survived the
severest tests to which liberty* and uuioa could
have been subjected. They have proved the strong*
est of all tbe forces, natural and moral, by which
we are surrounded. Through this coarse of ooc
history there was room, there was need for • man,
for many men, but for one supremely emiaea^
for the duty of standmg between the
past and the future, between tbe two
yftx6 tbe first auoceaafi^l to build up, tbe seeoad
failing to overthrow ; need of a man with heart
large enougb to embrace all — mind lazge'enoagh to
comprehend all — and upon all principles and all
duties, of our pride and our hopes, to build the tern,
pie, and within it the altar of the country, befon
which all hearts are one, and all- discordant Inter '
ests disappear. It Is tbe noble a«ta uf such a man
that we to-dav commemorate.
Mr. Gordon W. Bumbam then, addreaeiag th
Mayor, said:
Mh. Matob: Having alwaya been a great adm tret
of Mr. Webster, and having a stronir desira that
something should be done to perpetuate bia memo,
rv, I have caused this statue to be erected, _wbicb
I trust may be as enduring as his fame, and the
granite upon which it stand.'. I now have the
uleasure, through you. of presenting this statue ot
Daniel Webster, with ita jiedestal. to the City ol
New-York. I commit it to your guardianship,
trusting that it may be faithfully cared for and pro-
tected for all time to come.
Tbe statue waa then unveiled by ifr. Bnrnbam'a

loud cheers. In accepting the gift. Mayor Wieto^

Webster tbat If there were one single trait conapic-
uiius in bim and pre-eminent aa compared witn
others which have made for themselves great
names io history, it would* be tbe abun-
dant charity of bis nature. He never
asanmed for himself in private' intercoarse
or in pablie speech any superiority. He never tol-
erated m bis presence and he never practiced eitner
evil speech or evil surmise. His frown followed
even the casual introduction, aboat the table and in
publio, discussions, of sucb contusion between in-
tellectaal dissectkin and moral lucolpstion.
I de not know tbat one should queBtiuu
ambition when it is tbe pnblio passion
by which great pablio ' talents are made
useful to a people. But I will say of Mr. Webster
thai he aeemed to me never to have any ambition
bnt that which is au unspeakable part of tbe posses-
sion of great powers of public uaefulnoss, bnt that
which is obtained by tbe injonction tbat great tal-
ents are not to be buried in the earth, and of the

HON. KOBERT C. WINTHKOP'S ADDRESS.
Mr. Wiuthrop - ivas then introduced. He
spoke aa follows :
I am bere Mr. Mayor, Mr, Barnham. and fellow-
conntrymen and friends, with no parpose of tres-
passing very long on yonr attention. I was doubt-
ful almost to tbe last moment whether I might he
able to be here at all to-day, and I am afraid
that I have neither the voice nor the
strength for many words in tbe open
air. X must leave. therefore. to the
newsi>aper8, much of wbat I might desire to say ;
bat> Indeed, my friends, tbe address of this oc-
casion bas been made. It was pecaliarly fitting
■that this grand gift to your magnificent park should
be acknowledged and welcomed by a citizen of
Kew-'Xork, and one of whom you areailjastly proud;
an eminent advocate and Jarist ; a distinguished
statesman and pablio speaker, with tbe laurels
of tbe Centennial oration at Philadelphia
still fresh Upon his brow. [Laughter.] Tbe utter-
ances of this bonr miebt wexl have ended with bim,
bat I conld not find it in my heart, my frienos,
altogether to refuse tbe repeated and ureent
request of your fellow-citizen, Mr. Barnham,
that I would be heie en the platform with
Mr. Evarts and himself to-day, t»^ wit-
nesa the an veiling of this uoble^ '^statue,
ancKto add a few worda iu oemmebaoration of him
it BO Jastly and so impressively portrays. Mr.
Burnbam Das done me tbe nonor te call me to hia
assistance on tbis occasion, as one who bad enjoyed
some peculiar opportunities for knowine the illus-
trions statesman to whose memory be is paying
the^e large aad sumptuous honors. And it Is true,
my friends, tbat my personal associations with
Mr. Webster' reach bacK to a distant day.
I recall him as a familiar visitor in the
homes of more than ose of those with whom
I was moat nearly connected, when I was but a
schoolboy, on hi!) first removal to Boston, in 1817. I
recall the deep iiopression produced on all who
heard bim, and communicated to all who did not
hear him, by bis great efforts in the Consdtnrional
Convention of Massacbosetts, and, soou stterward,
by bis noble discourse at Plymouth Bock, io 1830. I
was myself in tbe crowd whiob gazed at hliu, and
hsteued to him with admiration, wben be laid tbe
corner-atone of tbe Monument on Banker Hill,
iu presence of Lafayette, iu 1824. I was myself in
the throng which bung with lapture on his lips aa
he pronounced that splendid eulogy on Adams and
Jefferson, in FaneuU Hail, in 1826. EuterlnK nis of-
fice as a law student in 182S, 1 was under his per-
sonal tuition during three of the busiest and proud-
est years of bis life. Prom 1840 to 1850 I was asso-
ciated with bim in the Congress of tne Uoiced
States ; and 1 may be pardoned for not forgetting
that it was. then my privilege and my pride
to succeed bim in the Senate, when
be was last called into the Cabinet, as Sec-
retary of State, bv President Fillmore. [Applause. |
I bave thus no excuse, my friends, lor not, know-
ing eomethiog, for no. knowing much, about Dauiel
Webst'tr. Of cooae who knew bim loouer or better
than I did, tew certsiuly remain among tbe living,
and I hardly would have reconciled wbat isdue to
bis memory or to my own posiiiiju if 1 had ri fused
— I will not say to bear tebdmony lo his
wonderful powers, bis great puoiio ser-
vices, f-ir all such teaduiuny would be as
superfluous as to bear testimony to the light of
tbe sun in tbe skies above ue — bur, if I had declined
to fcive expression to the gratihcation and the de-
light wltb which the sons of New-Eualand and the
sons of MasBachusetts, and ot Bostou espeeialiv,
and I, as one of them, cauoot tail to regard ibis
niOMt slenal commeiuoraiion of one, whose
name and tame were so long and so
peculiarly dear to them. Keither Mt.
i£y<iris nor I, my friends, have come bere to-day to
bold Mr. Webster np, much as we admired him and
much as we tu\ ed bim, as one <i ith whom we have
always agreed, aa one whose coarse we have uni-
formly approved, or in whose career we have se^n
notliing to regret. Our tesiimudy is all the more
ttustworthv — mine certainly is— irom * the
fact tnat we bave semeiimes difl'ered
from him; bnt we are here to
recognize him as one of tbe greatest men our coun-
try tia.s ever produced; as one of the graudes fig-
ures in onr wbole national bistory ; as one who lor
intullectual power had no superior, and baruly an
equal in our own land, or in any ottier laud, during
his day and generation ; as one whose writteu and
spokea words, so titly embalmed for a lito beyond
lile in those' fcix noble volumes to which Air. Evarts
bas uJiuded, ouUed by Edward Everett, are among
tbe choicest treasure* ot our language and our lit-
erature; and still mure aud above alias cue who
rendered inestimable 8ervic<-8 \o oui* country, at
one period vindicatini; its riehts aud pres.)r\iuc us
peace with foruivn oatiuns by the most skiiiul and
masterly diplomacy; at auoiher neriod rescuing
the Constitution from overthrow, aud repeUiug
trinmpbantly tbe assaults ut nuiUdcatiou and dis-
nbiuu by over-powering argument and matchless
eloquence. [Applause.]
MB. WEBSTER'S GREAT INTELLECTUAL POWERS.
Mr. Webster made many marvelous manifesta-
tions of himself in his busy llfa of three score years
and ten. Convincing artcuments in the courts of
law, brilliant appeala to pooular assemblies, tri-
umphant speeches in the halls of legislation, mag-
nificent ora ions, snd discourses of commemoration
or ceremony art thickly scattered along bis whole
career. I rejoice to remember bow many of them I
have heard from his own lips, aud how
much inspiration and Instruction I bavo de-
rived from them. To have serni and
heard him on one of bis field days was a pri7ilege
which no man will ever forget or undervalue who
enjoyed it. Theie was a power and breadth of
eiierify, a beauty and a perfection in some of his
efforts when he was at his best which distanced all
approach and made riyalry ridlculoi^s. [Laughter. |
Aud, my trienda, let me aay, that if tbe style and
tone and temper of onr political discussions are to
be onee more elevated, refined and nnrflsd, as Heav-
en knows tbers is room enough tor elevation and
refinement, we mast take for our examples and onr
models^ at least so far as the days of tbat great sen-
atoiial trinmvirate, Clay, Calhoun, and Webster.

thev never forget that While it is ezeeltent to hav(»
a giant's' strength, it is tyrannous to nse it like a
giant. Among those who hare boea cdebraled as
or/ttors or as paniio soeakers, there have been
many divorsilies of guts and powers. There
have been those who were listened to
wholly for their Intellectual qaalitie*.
There have been those celebrated tor wit or wis-
dom and the learniiie or tbe philosopby which char-
acterized tbeir effiTts. There have been those
whose main aitrao'lun was a canons felicity and
faculty of illustration and description, adorned by
the richest gems which can be eathered by histori-
cal research a:id clasaical study. There bavo
been those to whom the charms of man-
ner and the graces of elocution, with a
well modulated voice, were the all-
Bufiicient recoiiimendatinns to attention and to ap-
plause, and there have been those who owed their
saocess more to opportunity and acoasion. to some
stirrinz theme or some exciting emereency than
to any particular attributes of their own. But
Weoster combined every thing ; no thoughts were
more piofuund and weighty, no style more terse and
telling, no illustration more vivid and clear, no oo-
oaSion more auenst and momentous, no voice more
deep and thrilling, no manner more impressive and
admiraoie, no presence so errand and so majestio.
tApplanse.J Why, my friends, tbat great brain of
lis. as 1 have seen it workine. whether in pnblic de-
bate or lu private converse, seemed to me often like
some mighlv machine — always reaiy for action
and almost always m action, evolvioe much mate-
rial from its own resources and researches, and
eagerly appropriating and assiinilatlDg whatever
was biought wirhin its reach, producing and renro-
ducine the richest fabrics with the ease and certain-
ty, the precision and the condensibg enerey of a p;er-
tect Corliss engine^— such a one us many of ua bave
jnstseen prssidiue so magically and so majestically
over the Exposition at Philadelphia. And ne has
pat bis own traae-mark upon wbatevei h<) uttered.
There was no mistaking one ot Webster's efforts ;
tbere is no mistaking it now. Like a piece oi old
gold or silver, it bore the unmistakable merit mark
of its Creator. He knew, my friends, like the cast-
ers or tor ers of yonder statue, not only bow to
pout- forth burning words and pleaHing thouorhts,
but so blended them and f.ised them — facts and fig-
ure!*, arguments arid illustrations, metaphors aud
subject-matter— be so bended and fused and weliied
them together as to brine them out at la^t into one
maspive and enduriner image of bis own miehty
mind. [Applause.] He was by no means wanting
in labor and study; and he oiten anticipated the
earliest dawn in Dia preparations for an immediate
efibr . I remember bow humorously he cold me
once that the cocks in bis own yard often mistook
bis morning candle for the break of day, and b°gan
to cruw lustily as he entered bis uffioe, though it
were two faonrs before sunrise. Tet he frequently
did woudeiful things ofi'-hand; and one might ofi^en
say of bim, in tbe words of an old poet:
" His noble negliirences toach
Wbat others' tolls despair to reach."
Kot in our own laud, Mr. Mayor and fellow-citi-
zecs, only were tbe pre-eminent powers of Mr.
Weoster recognized and appreciated. Lord
Brougham, the late Lord Derby, and Lord Lynd-
hursi. were no underratore of bis Intellectual grasp
and the srandeur of bis powers of mind. I remem-
ber well, too, tbe te.^tinaony to this fact borne by a
venerable prelate of r.heEogliab Church, the late Dr.
Harcourt, then Archbishop of York, who said to me
thirty years ago in London : ''I met your wonder-
ful fiieod, Mr. Webster, tor nearly iBve minutes,
and I learaed more ot American institutions and of
tbe pecnliar working of tbe .American Con-
stitutijn from him than in all that 1 bad ever
heard or read or derived from any other
source." Of his disooarse on tbe second
centennial ol the anniversary of tA landing
at Plymouth Rock, John Adams wrote, acknowl-
edging a copy of it, in which he said, " Mr. Bnrke
is no loneer entitled to the praibo of being the most
consummate orator of modern times;'' and certain-
ly from tbe date of tbat aiscourae, he Stood second
as an orator to no one who spoke tne English lan-
guage.
TH£ BXFOmn}BB ANB DEFEin^EB 0^ TBB COHSTl-
T0TION.
Butit is peculiarly and pre-e.minently as tbe ox-
pounder and defender of the Constitutian of tbe
United States, in January, 1830, that he will be re-
membered and honored as long as tbat Constitution
shall hold a place In tbe American heart, or a place
on the pages of the world's history. Mr. Web-
ster once said, and perhaps more than once,
tbat there was not an article, a section, a clause,
a phrase, a word, a syllable, or even a com-
ma of tbat Conatitution which he bad not
studied and pondered in every relation and in every
construction of which it was' susoepiibie. Bom at
the commencement ol the year 1782, at the very
moment when tbe necessity of suoh an instrua-ent
for preservnig our Union and making us a nation
was first beginning to be comprehended and felt by
the patriots who bad achieved our independence —
jast as they bad fully discovered the utter insulfio-
lencyof tbeold oontederation, audbow mere aropeuf
sand it was ; born in tbat very year in
which the Legislature of yonr own State of
New-Zork, under tho lead of your gallant
Philip Schuyler, at the prompting of your grand
Alexander Hamilton, was adopting tbe very first
reaolations passed by any State in favor ot such
an iDstrnment — it might almost be said tbat tbe
natal air of the Constitution was hia own* natal'
air. He drank in its spirit with bis earliest
breath, and seemed bont. to comprehend, ex-
pound, and defend it. Ko Roman schoolboy ever
committed to memory the laws of the Twelve
Tables more diligently and thoroughly than did
be the Constitution ol his coantry. iie had it by
heart in more senses of the words than one,
and every part and particle of it seemed
only lesa precions and sacred to him than his
Bibie. If John Adams was rightly said to bo
tbe eoloesus of tbe Declaration of Independence,
then Daniel Webster was the colossus of tbe Con-
stitution of the Uiiited State in the Federal Con-
gress of 1820. [Applause.] Por other speeches
of other men, it might perhaps be claimed that they
have had tbe power to luflame and precipitate war
— -toreign war or civil war. Of Wobscer'a great
speech, as a Senator of Massachusetts, in 1830— and
of that alone. I think — ii can be said that it averted
and' postponed civil war for' a whole geueration.
Yes, it repressed tbe irrepressible conflict itself
for thirty years! And wben tbat dire calamity
came upon us at last, tbough the voice of tbe masr^r
bad sodonebeen bushed, tbat speech still sopplied
tbe most convincing arguments and the moat in-
spiring incitements for a resolute defense of the
Uuion. It is not yet exhausted, Mr. Mayor.
[Laughter.] Tnere is argument aad inspiration
enough iu it still, if only they be heeded, to carry us
along aa a united people at least for another century.
In tbat speech be still lives for the Constitution
and the union of his country. Why, my triends.
the dynamite and read-rook and Yulcaa powder of
your own scientific and gallant Gen. Newton
were not more eifuctive In blasting and shaiteiiag
your Hell Gate reef and clearing the way for navi-
gation of yonder bay, than was tbat speech uf Web-
ster's in exploding the doctrine of nullification and
and cleariui; the obannel for onr ship ot State to
sail on sately, prosperously, and triumphantly,
through sunsbiae and through storm. [Applause.)
Beyond all comparison :t was, and it, is, the speech
of onr centennial age ; and it was James Madison
who said of it, in a letter at the tlpe, tbat it crushed
nullification and hastened the abandonmeot ot se-
cession. Of other and later ettorts of Mr. Webster I
have neither tioie nor iaclmation to speak.
There are too many live coals still beneath the
smoldering embers of some of bis more recent con-
troversies, for any one to recall them openly^ rashly,
on such an occasion as tbis. I was by no means
myselt in full accord with bis memorable 7th of
March speech, and my views to-day are what they
were fifty yeara ago ; but no differences ot opinion
on tbat day, or any other day, ever
marred my admiraticn of bis powers, my
conhdence in bis patnotiam, my. earnest wlsh<;s
for his promotion, nor the lull assurance wbich I
lelc tbat he would aaminster the Goveruuient with
periecc iuiegritv, as well as with consammatu
aoility. lAppiause.] What a President ne would
bave made tor this centennial year. [Cheers.]
What a tower of strength he would have been to
our CoDsiiiiUtioa and our country in all tbe per-
plexities aud perils thruagb which we are passing
aud through wmch we nave passed. On ! for an
hour of Dundee.
MB. WEBSTER'S PERSONAL TRAITS.
ITo one will pretend that he was free from all *n-
firmicieaof character and conduct, thougn they
have often been grossly exagaerated. Great temp-
tations proverbially beset the pathway of creat
powers; and one who can overcome almost every-
thing else, may sometimes fail of conquering him-
self. He never assnined to be faultlesb ; and he
would have indignantly rebuked any one who
would have assumed iD lor bim. We
all know that while he could master
tbe grtat quesiious of national finance, he bad no
pariicuiar faculty of lookinjc after his own. We
know that he was sometimes impatient (if diffdr-
euoes, and soDuetimes arrogant and overbearing to-
ward nis opponents for a moment; his own con-
scloDsness of his surpaisiug power.s aud the flat-
teries ot friends would have been enuush to account
for more than all of this that be ever displaye.!.
I have known him iu all his moods. I have
exoerienceil the pain of bis frown, as well as tbe
citaims of hii favor. And 1 will aokoowiertge
ihar I had raiher coufroui, him as ne is hi're lo-day,
in bronze, than eucoauler bis opyusitioa iu tue
flesh, ills ania^onisiu was iremeuuuoua. " Safest
he who stoou alji'f.' But bis better uature always
asserted itsell in the end. No man or womauor
chi d could be more tender aud aft'eciionate. And
there is one eLmint of bia oliarautor which must
never be forgotten. I mean his deep religious taith
and truat. I recall the delight with which be often
Conversed ou the Bioie ; I lec. 11 the tleiight with
which ho would dwell ou that exquisite prayer ot
one of the old prophets, repeatinij ii terveutly aa a
Dioiiel of eloquence and dev.iiiou : " Althouii'h the
tig-tree shall not blassom. neither shall truit be in
the vines ■ * ' * [he tit-lJ shall yield no meat,
the dock shall be cut off from ibe Jold, and there
shall be no herd in the stalls — yet 1 will rf'joice io
the Lord, I will glory in the God of mv salvation."
I bave been with him on the most uoleuin occa-
sions, in Boston aud at Wa.ibinKton. iu
the midst of the most exciting and pain-
ful controversies, kneeling by his side at tbe
table of our common Master, and witnessing tbe
humility and reverence of bis worship. And who
bas forgotten those' last words which he ordered to
be inscribed, and wbich are inscribed, on his tomb-
stone at Marshtteld : " Philosophical argument has
sometimes shaken my reason for the faith that
is in me; but my heart bas always assured and
reassured me that the Gospel of Jesus Christ
muet be a divine reality. The Sermou on the
Mount cannot be a merely human production.
'Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief.'''
I cannot help wishing, my friends, tbat this decla.
ration, in all its fullness, for X have abridged it
somewhat, was engrafted in one of the side* of tbat
magnlfloent monumental base in letters wbich all
the world mittht read, amid the perplexities whioh
matmifyinir «»; what onnsolatlon and strength
must ever be found in such an exotassion of faith
from tbat snrpiissiog intellect.
I congratulate yon, my friends, I congratulate
you all, that vour Park I* to be permanently
adorned witn tbis grand figure, anti that the in-
scription on its massive petlestalis that great prin-
ciple of political life: " L1l<erty and Union, now and
forever, one and insonarable.'nor could I conclude
witbonr, wayiUK that, from all I have ever known of
Mr. Webster's feelings, uothing would have
gratified him so much as that in this Centennial year,
on this memorable anniversary, nearly a quarter
oentury aft^r he had gone to his rest, when 411 the
formaliiies and preindices of the love and the hate
which weiehs upon the career of great pablio
'tnen. should have grown cold or passed away, a
stamoot himseif should be set up bere.wltbin tbe
limits of tbis niagniflcent Cltv. ana amid these
superb surroundings. Quite apart from the per-
sonal and domestlo ties which rendered New-York
so dear to him, he would bave appreciated sucb a
tribute, I tbink above all otber posthumous
honors. There was something congenial to him in
the grandeur of this great commercial Metropolis.
He loven, indeed, the bills and plains of New-
Hampahiie, among which he was born. He de-
lighted in Alarshfleld, and the shores of Plymouth
where be was buried. He was warmly attached
to Boston and the peonle of Massachusetts,
among whom be had lived ao Ioue, and fr<im
whom he baa so often received bis commissions
aa their Kepresentative and their Senator iu
Congross. But in your noble City, as he said,
he recognized "the commercial capital, not
only of tne CTuited States, bnt of the wbole conti-
nent trom the Pole to the South Sea." "■ The
growth of this City." said be, "and tbe Constitution
of the United States are coevals and contempo
raries." "New-York herself,'" he exclaimed, "is
the noblest eulogy on the Union of the States."
He deliuh ed to remember that bere Washington
was first inaugurated as President, and that here bad
been tbe abode of Hamilton, and John Jay, and Ru-
ins King. And it was at a bnnquet given Ut him at
your own Niblo's Garden in 1837, and under the in-
spiration <if these associations, tbat he summed up
the whole lesson of the past and the whole duty of
tbe future, and condensed them into a sentiment
which bas ever binoe en ered into the circulating
medium of true pacnotiem, llbe an ijgot of gold
with tbe impress of the eagle : " One Conntry, one
Conatitution, oneD-'stlny." Let that motto, still
and ever, be the watcbwurd of the hour, and what-
ever momentary perplexities or perils may environ
ua, with the blessing of God no permacent harm
can happen to onr republic.
In behalf of my fellow-citiz^ns ot New-England,
I thank you, Mr. BurDham, for tai» great gift to the
Central Park of New- York, and I congratulate
you on having associated your name with so spleo-
dld a tribute to so illustrious a man. A New-Eug-
lander himself, Mr. Riirnham lung ago aecorated
one rf the chief cities of his native State*with a
noble statue of a venerable father of the church to
which he belongs. He has now adorned the
city of hia reoidence with a grand figure of the pre-
eminent Amei^ican statesman. You will all agree
with me, I am sure, fellow-citizens, that be has thus
doubly seicured for bimselt tbe grateful remem-
brance (>f all by whom religion and patriotism,
Christianity and st^tesmiinsbip shall be held worthy
ot commemoratioiir s^d' honor in all time to come.

CHABLES L. Y03E,
RECEPTION AT MR. HURNHAM'S RESI-
DENCE. -
In the evening Mr. BurnHam gave a reception
at his mansion, No. 123 Filth avenue, whioh was at-
tended by some of our most distinguished citizens.
The superb parlors were thrown open at 8 o'clock,
to the strains of one of Dodwortb's inspiring
marches, and tbe company shortly afterward began
to arrive. No decorations were used, probably be-
cause ^ny adornment would anpear insignificant
beside the wealth of an treasures in rare broozes,
pictures, and statuary with which tbe magnificent
parlors were filled. The rooms were ablaze with
light and beauty, and wben filled with the invited
guests presented a scene of nnusnal luxury, even
for Pifth avenue. The suites of rooms on the sec-
ond and third floors were set apart as retiring
rooms, and a number of tbe more elderly guests
sought tbe quiet of tbese retreats when fatigued
with the excitement of the crowded parlors below.
Tbe supper-table in the dining-room was a marvel of
the caterer's art,tbe decorations and principal pieces
being designed by Pinard, who attended and di-
rected the movements of an army of waiters. At
the end of the dining-room was bung a splendid oil
painting of Webster beautifully wreathed witn
smilax, and on a floral sheath beneath was the in^
Bcription, "I still live," in white carnations.
Mr. and Mrs. Burnham received their guests in
tbe centre parlor, and b'etween the hours of 8 and
11 distingaished visiturs were constantly arriving
and depai'ting. A large number of those who
received invitations had to leave the City at tbe
close of the un vailing ceremonies ; never-

MR. HENRY J. RAYMOND'S ESTIMATE OF
"WEBSTER'S CHARACTER.
Twenty-seven columns of The Tnuss of Got.
23, 1852, were taken up with Mr. Heniy J,
Raymond's biographical sketoh'of Mr. Webster,
the whole of whiob was written within the space of
forty-eight hours, and which forms in itself one of
tbe greatest feats ever aeoompllsbed in Journalism.
At the close of this biography, which reviews at
length and tn detail every point of Interest In Mr.
Webster's crowded career, is the following able
and comprehensivo summary of his character,
penned by the hand of one of the great mast^s of
American iournalism :
" Mr. Webster bas achelved high distinetlon In
three apparently Incompatible walks of live — walks
that are incompatible to all but men of superior
cenius. As a lawyer, be has tor many years held
the foremost rank. Surpassed by manv lu legal
learning, by some in logical power, and by a few
in the eloquence of dis appeals to the jury, in the
combination of all these groat faculties he stands
unrivaled aa a statesman in the most comprehen-
sive meaning of i hat large word. Ko American, ex-
cept Alexander Hamilton, can maintain a compari-
son with bim. Mr. Calhoun had a more acute and
metaphysical mind; Mr. Clay, with a more eleciric
nature, bad far greater sagacity in reading
public sentiment and Id gaining command of the
springs of popular attachment, and each of those
great men beld in more complete control
the opinions snd conduct of large masses of their
ccuntrymen. But in tbat large, liberal compMhen-
siveness, which saw all around and all through
every subject— which studied and judges every-
thing in all its relations, aud in tbat hlgb-toned,
unbending, uncomprising dignity of thought,
of language, and of mannei with wbich be was
always clothed, ana wbiou gave inflni.e impres-
aiveness tn every thing he did or said— neither tf
them or any other American, living or dead, was
eqnal to bim. His political career has been marked
by greater consistency of principle than
tbat of moat of his didtinguisbed eontem-
purarioa, and by quite as close adhererce to a
single system of measures as is compatible with
wisdom in a science which is in fact only a science
of expedients. Upon the Question of the tariff' he
changed bis psliov, but only to meet changes, and
the business relaiions and interests of the sec-
tion of the coantry for wbicb be ao ed. At as'ill
later day, dur'ng the strnggles of 1850.
for sectional supremacy, Mr. Webster held a dif-
ferent position from that wbicb be occupied with so
much distinction daring the similar convulsions of
1833. But tbe orinciples which be maintained on
both these occasions were essentiallv the same, xt
was only npon the practical measures lu wbich they
were embodied that he bad changed. And alwars,
in all tbese cases and in all the acts of his life — in
everything be ever did or said, from the earliest
day ot his pnblio service down to the latest syllable
of his recorded time — be lived and 'moved and bad
bis being under tbe domination of an ever-present
love of country, whioh knew no change and left no
act or word of bis nfe unmarked by
its presence and its power. A more
thorough American never tt-od the continent
than Daniel Webster. He loved hie country, he
bowed before the wisdom and holy patriotism of
its founders and its fathers ; be reverenced tbe
Constitution which gave it national being and po-
sition in view of the world, and he devoted all the
energies of bis life to its def jnse against wbat was
threatened from any quarter to weaken its founda-
tions or impair it'^ strength. For thin high service,
rendered with such matchless power,and fruitful of
influences wbich will make tbemseives felt at every
period of onr future bistory, he merits and will re-
ceive tbe profoundett gratitude of every heart.
In tbe coarse of an editorial published the same
day. The Tiueb said :
" In thesadctess of this occasion, how naturally yet
how sorrowfully does tbe mind turn to that splen-
did triumvirate of statesmen— Clay, Calhoun, and
Webster — but recently the pride aud glory of tbe
laud, now enacting another stage of tbeir destiny be-
yond the stars. For forty years they had mingled
their efibrts and voices in the councils of tbe Union.
Upon all great questions of public policy each bas
left bis indelible mark. Each, as we bave stated
heretofore, was in himself a host, with physical and
intellectual powers so difierent, yet so surpassing,
though not always agreeing — indeed, sometimes at
angry variance — a war among tbe gods — yet always
inseparably associated, marching side by side
through many years of pith and moment
in tbe history of America and the world,
pre-eminent in powers of thought and in the mode
of expressing thought. We see them now, with the
eye of memory m that more than Amphyctionio
assemblage— Clay, vriih bis electric fire'and burn-
ing and impassioned eloquence; Calhoun, clear,
terse, logical, metaphysical — with the skill of Tell
shooting the apple from tl»e bead, and Webster,
calm, grand, majesuo. sitting on tbe iofaest peaks
of Olympug, darting lightnings and rolling thunders.
But now, alas 1 those eloquent voices are bashed,
chose great hearts have ceased tbeir beating. Their
continuous guidance has been withdrawn from us,
and the American people, in sorrow and orphanage,
lament their loss.,,
EVACUATION DAY.
ITS
CELEBRATION BY THE VETERANS OF
1812— INTERESTING LETTEE FBOH THUR-
LOW WEED.
Evacuation Day yesterday was commemtv
rated by the veterans of 1812. Tbe old warriors
met at 1 o'clock in the afternoon at Military Hall in
tbe Bowery, and remained there for over an boor,
whiling away the time with reminiscencea'of their
arduous services at Sandy Hook, Fort Gansevoort,
the Battery, or at Sackett's Harbor on Lake On-
tario. Only twenty veterans were present, but
they were jovial, and did not seem to be affected by
the fact tbat since last Evacuation Day twenty of
tbeir former comrades bad passed to their long
home. Of tbe regiment, comprising 500 veterans,
that was organized and paraded in tbis City in 1850,
only abont fifty members all told are now alive.
Tbe names and ages of the old soldiers
who assembled at Military Hall yesterday
are : Gen. H. Raymond, 85 years : CoL,
Abram Dalley, 81; Col. John H. Hildreth.
76 ; Major Charles K. Crowley, 89 ; Elijah
P. Jenks, 76 ; ChrlstoDber Kenney, 86 ; Thomas J.
Darling, 75; Andrew J. Surry, 'J'S; David Torrie,
82; Parmelian Doiey, 87; David Yan Arsdale, 82;
Thomas Stewart, 82 ; Charles Coombs, 83; Samuel
Ryckman, 85; Alexander Brady, 82; William
Toney, 81 ; Elijah Leonard, 81 ; Henry Morris, 77 ;
Jared 01m stead, 83; R«v. James H. Hull, 82. Of
these veterans, tbe oldest. Major Charles K. Crow-
ley, is the only one who ever took part in an en-
gagement greater than a skirmish. He was with
Gen. Scott at Lundy's Lane, and was also engaged
in the Seminole War in Florida. He is a little man,
with Silky white hair, a smiling face, and a soft
voice. Thomas J. Darling was a drummer boy dur-
ing the war, and David Van Arsdale is the son of
Lieut. Van -Arsdale, who pulled down the flag the
British left flying when they departed from New-
York on Nov. 25, 1783. Gen. H. Raymond was
an officer at Fort Gansevoort. When the
crew of theBii ish sloop Peacock, which was sunk
by the American sloop Hornet in February, 1814,
were bronebt to this City, thev were put in hi.s
charge. While the veterans were at Military Hall
an old lady named Miss Sarah Smith Stafford ar-
rived there, having in her possession, the, first true
American flag that ever fl lated over - an
American Khip-of-war, and the cutlass ear-
ned bv Paul Jouas when he dashed over
the bulwarks of the British frigate Scrapie.
This flag was first hoisted by Jones over the frigate
Bon Uomme Richard. During the fight between
that vessel aud the British frigate Serapis, in whi'^h
tbe latter vessel was captured, tue flag was shot
away aud fell into the sea. Lieut. James Bayard
Stali'ord jumped after it and climbed up between
the conflicting rossels wi.hitiiibia hands. Just
as he reached the bulwarks of the Bon Homme
Richard, a British officer struck him with a cutlass
and laid open his shoulder, the weapon passing
even thrungli his shoulder blade. Ho sank uncou-
sciouM upon the deck ot hi» vessel, but tbe flag was
saved and nailed to the mast. When the war was
overj the Marine Committee of Congress presented
tiiu with tho flag be saved, together with Paul
Jones' cutlass aud a musket captured eu the Se-
rapis.
Shortly after 2 o'clock P. M. yesterday the vet-
erans started lor the Sturtevant House, at the iuvi-
tation of the Messrs. Lewis and George S. Leland
and their friends. Upon arriving there they found
prepared an elegant banquet, to which they
did full Justice. When tho banauet was
finished the party adjouroed to a parlor,
wliere Miss S^afiford presented the fiig of the Bon
Homme Richard to the veterans. After doing this
8 no read a sketch of her father's career. From
this it ap])earcd that Lit-ur. Stafioid was a native of
tbi City, who fled from New-Yf)rk to avoid im-
pris'inment as i rebel sympathizer. G< ing to New-
port, R. 1., he filled out the privateer Kitty, wliich
was very 8oon afiBrward captured by a
British frigate, wliicu was in turn cap-
tured by tne Bon Homme Richard,

Dkak Gbnkral: It wotildaflord me. pleasure to unite
with thtt Vetpraus of iho War of 1812 in celebrating
the anniversary of the evaouaiion of New-York by the

teiitennial year occasion more than ordlnarv iuterent.
I have not beeu well enough, however, to participate
lu any ot them.
On Evacuation Day, in 1814, sixty-two years
ago, I was stationed at Sackett's Harbor, with
the British fleet in si^ht, awaiting the answer ol
Commodore Chnunce to an offer of battle, which, on
a'-conut of the vast superiority of the enemy, was de-
clined. In Jime of that year, when the respective
Ameiican and British fleets on i<ake Ontario were
nearly equal, Commodore Chaiincey appeared off the
harbor of Kliigaton, offering ciii James battle, but that
offer WM also deoliued. Very tralv yours,

IMPORTANT ARREST BY MR. ANTHOWT COM-
STOCK AND DETBCnVB BEIITON— A
TEACHER POISOMIKG TUi MINDS OB' BIS
PUPILS.
Mr. Anthony Comstook and D«teeti7«jr. A.
Brltton, of the Society for tbe Prevention ot Vice,
succeeded yesterday In procuring tbe arrest of C.
H. Ganlier, on tfaea charge of exhibiting obscene
and lewd pictures, books, and otber material of an
ideoent character. Tbe arrest was made at ITo.
l,iJl8 Broadway, where Ganller has famished apart-
ments, and wbere tbe officers fonnd about one hun-
dred ot tbe vilest pictures, stereosoopie views,
books, &o^ which will be naed in sTidence
at the Tombs Police Court, wbere th*
nrisoner will be arraigned at 9 o'clock
this morning. Gaulier is a teacher of Fmncb, and
during the last half doEen years he bas beld posi-
tions in some of tbe blghest academic institutions
of the cities of New-York and Brooklyn. Among
these may be mentioned the Lafayette Institute m
Brooklyn, where, m 1870, he was a Professoi in
the French and Classical Department; the Unl-
versitv. Murray Hill, and Packard Institutes, of
Ntw-York. During this time he baa bad under hia
tuition the sons of some of the best families in both
ciries, and the evidence which will be adduced to-
day will, it is said, snow tbat be bas used his posi-
tion to poison tbe minds and ruin the bodies of
many of his pupils. Tne card be uses at present is
as follows:
" C. H. Ganller, A. M.
At th* urgent reqnes' of several of my former pnpi's
of the University and others, I win resumi- evening
diss sin French at my ro. m», No. l,'Ji2 B osdway.
Terms, $10 per quarter. To iirvate tniiton; father
oljuots, ' It is good but too expensive.' To the even-
ing free school, mother oljects, ' It is too cheap and
mi&cellaneouj.' "
Mr. Cjmstock has the aflldavits ot two young
men, whose names he reouesoo to be withheld, the
first of which is to th- effect that the deponent is
twenty-one years of age ; is unmarried. Four
years ago attended a class in French at the Packard
Institute taught by Gaulier, and while a pupil
was shown a number of. obscene, lewd,
and indecent pictures, and believes tbat similar
pictures were exbib.-ed to numbers of o; her pnpiK
Tbe second affidavit is made by a vouth seventeen
years of age, the substance of which is as f >llows :
Some time ago, wben deponent was on his way to
the Cooper Institute, he stopped on the ootskirts of
a crowd wbeie a man was selling reosipta tor stain-
wood, and while standing there be was anproacbed
by Gaulier, who gjve oim a card, and told him tbat
if he would call at the address be should have some
reoeinta of tbe same kind. Deponent vrent to tbe
address given, where he found Gaulier, who,
afer talking about tbe recelpis, said
he would show deponent something which
be hoped would not offend his morality. He then
showed deponent a number ot lewd oictures. books,
and stereoscopic views. Deponent further believes
that others have oeeu inveigled into the same p<aoe
for a similar ourpose. Gaulier bas been frequently
seen about Cjoper Institute, where it is 8Ut posed
be went to secure new victims. Mr. Comstock was
greatly shocked at the evidence of depravity fur-
nisbea by this case, and he said it was horrible to
reflect what a wide field tbe prisoner bad been en-
gaged npon. Gaulier is a tali, flue-looking man,
about forty-five year* old, of pleaoing address, and
when arrested ne accepted his fate without pertur-
bacion. He was confined last night ih the Twenty-
ninth Precinct Police Srali3n.

THE BLEECKEE STREET AND CROSS-TOWN
COMPAKIES FIGHriNG ABOXTT THE LAY-
ING OF NEW TRACKS — ^ACTION OP THE
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Yesterday morning, Mr. Allan Campbell,
Commissioner of Publie Works, and his deputy,
Mr. H. A. Gumbleton, called on President Smith of
the Police Department in regard to the dispute be-
tween tbe Department of Pnblic Works and Jaoob
Sharpe, President of the Bleeoker Street and
Fulton Ferry Bailroad, referred to in The TlUES
of yesterday. Mr. Sbarpe also had an in-
terview with Superintendent Walling on
the same subject Commissioner Campbell said
that his position in tbe matter was simply to insure
the enforcement of the City ordinances which pro-
vide that no person shall bave the right to disturb
the street pavement for laying down railroad tracks,
gas, or water mains without a permit from bis de-
partment, Mr. Sbarpe, on tbe otber hand,
olaims that ou tbe 1st of April, 1873, tbe
Legislature paised an act giving him the nght
to lav railroad tracks along Fourteenth street, to
conuect the tracks of tbe Bleecker Street and Ful-
ton Ferry Railroad with those of tbe Grand Street
and Forty-second Street Railroad at Fourth avenue
and Fourteenth stroet, and tbat be holds this right
without nference to the Departrnvnt of Pnblio
Works. A third party to the quarrel appears
in tbe person i^f Mr. Carey, generally
known aa " Cross-town Carey," who
repre«ent the Central Cross-town Railroad. Mr.
Carey claim's tbat tbe laying of additional tracks in
Fonrteentu street will interfere with the track of
the railroad wnicb be repres<^nt8, and he therefore
asked tbat tbe agents of Mr. Sharp be restrained from
laying tbe proposed double track. President Smith
and SuperinteDdeut Walling both deciJed that the
Police cuuld not interfere in tbe quarrel in any way
except to preserve the peace, and Mr. Sbarpe left,
expressing bis intention of procuring an injunction
resrrainiog the Police from interlering with nim.
Snpenntendant Walling, having been icfjrmed that
the Commissioner of Pnblic Works had determined
to pull up tbe tracks already laid, sent a fjroe ol Po-
lice to tbe scene of^besinfe last evening, to pro-
tect tbe workmen in tbe employ of Mr. Campoell.
Mr. Jacob Sbarpe, of the Tweniy-thiid Street
Line, called on Commissioner Campbeil yesterday
and applied for a permit to continue taking up tne
pavement, but tbe Commissioner refused to give
him one until his right le lay tracks in the street
was ascertaioed. Soon after Mr. Sharoe had left,
one of tbe officers of tbe Crobs-tewn Line, w hioh
has tracks on Fporteenth street, vuitod the Com-
missioner and expressed the hope that be would
not grann any privilege to Mr. Sbarpe to bave the
pavement again disturoed.
BOSTILITIES JN A HEW-JERSEY TOWN.
During tbe last week an exciting war has
been going on at t'amrapo,lf.J.,for the possession of
the Willow Haven Hotel. In 1874 the building was
owned by Charles Cottrell, and D. B. Salter, who
bad formerly owned it, held a mortgage on it for
part of tbe purchase money. In May, 1874, Mrs.
Sarah M. Miller and her son hired the hotel, the un-
derstanding being tbat she should pay $1,200 a year
for it and stock it with new furniture. Mrs. Mil-
ler took posses:iion and placed abont S1.500 worth of
new furniture iu the place. Salter's mortgage be-
came due and was foreclosed, and Salter desired
to get possession. On Tuesday night a man named
Drake, pretending to bo a Deputy Sherifi; presented
himself and demanded possession in the came of tbe
Sheriff and mortgagee. Mrs. Miller drew ner pistol
and dared anybody to touch berfarniture, but Drake
also drew a pistol and was reiniorcud, and
Mrs. Miller yielded. The furniture was thrown
into tbe street and a man named Goodspeed
was pl.iced in possession. Mrs. Miller had Good-
speed and bis party arrested for trespass, aud
during their absence re-eutered the uroperty. In
order that she might not appear, to press her suit
against Goodspeed, she was arrested on a warrant
issued by a Bayoune Justice, aed her e^amiiiatiun
was set down lor the very hour at winch Guod-
speed'stiial was to take place io anotner court.
Mrs. Miller waived examination and gave bail to
answer ro the Grand Jury. The next day another war-
rant was served upon her, aud it bad been ari:sognd
tbat duiiag her absence the Siilier party should
take possession of the hotol. Mr*. Miller learned ot
their design and placed the hotel in charge ot some
of her trusted trinuds. In accordance with the
arrangement, a party of men attempted, as soon as
she lelt to answer the wairaot, to lorce their way Into
the hotel. They were unexpectedly met by tliepany
inside, aud a fight tbat aluiust iia:<nmed the propor-
tions of a riot ensued. Mrs, Miller's frieuoj held
their ground, bowiver, and the sclienje ot tha
Salter party tailed. The Witr has ainse bten kept
up v-i'M a constant luailade of Jus ice's warrants

Mrs. Alice Main, a.ed twenty-two j-ears, of
Xo. 3.0 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, died on Friday
night from the effects of an operation performed on
her by some unknown person. In tbe early part
of last week she became dangerously ill, and ner
busbtuid called in Dr. Hermance, of Fulton street,
who, discovering the cause of Mrs. Main's illness,
and seeing that her lifa could not be saved,
urged her to reveal the name of tbe person who
bad performed tbe operation. Mrs. Main admitted
tbat the guilty person was a womau, but the Police
sav refused to give her name. The deceased con-
fessed thar she had tbe operation performed be-

to ugain become a mother. She had always lived

CHAPTER L
A painful convictioa had been growing
Upon me for a long time that it was my proD-
ftbie destiny, witttin an easily calculable pe-
nod, to be "hard up." Hitherto I had only
been acqaainted with such a condition of
tbmes aa a matter of pore theory. The
world bad seemed to me an elahorate
tystem of contrivances whereby ail my
wants bad been diligently ministered to, much
io my own personal gratification- When I had
attained my majority, which happened at tbe
time I obtained my degree, my euardians in-
nsted on my going through tha tsrm of closing
their aocoonts and bringins all matters be-
tween us to a termination. I am afraid I had
eiren them my share of trouble, and that they
bad CAosidered me an extraragant and unhope-
fol subject. I had done vary well at a great
pablio school, but at Cambridge I had done ao-
■olately nothing; and I am afraid that tbe
master of the college, who was a ooasin of one
of my guardians, had reported, and only with
too much justice, unfavorably of my piir-
raits and prospects. We had a meeting
ia the West-end of&ce of the family solicitor;
all aocounts were gone through ; a balance,
oonsiaerably below my expectations, was still
due to me; it was deposited .in my name in a
London bank, and a cbeck-boek was consider-
ately handed over to me. Although my bal-
ance was smaller than I expected the learinea
of my inhentaace would be, it was still larger
than anytbiatc which I had hitherto manip-
ulated; and I expected that I should
derive a good deal of enjoymeDt from its
sporadic dispersion. In order to assist this ob-
ject I removed from Cambridge to London,
where I had recently been made member of a
■ very fair club, more social than political, and
took modest ai)artment3 in the neighborhood
• of Pall Mall. Tbe -t^ole arrangement -was
modest, though hardly practicable for one of
email aL.d rapidly docroasiug means. I wrote
out checks with startling rapidity, and won-
dered at the power of those liotle white slips ot
paper in commanding tbe respect and even the
Bubaervienoy of mankind. My club presented
the pbenomeDon, so usual at tbe present day,
ot an immense number ot young men being
members ; and it was almost a tacit point of
honor among us that we should have our
diurnal champagne and feaat on the
■best. Accordingly, when my banker's book
was last made up, considerably to
my dissatisfaction, in the height of a London
season, one midsummer day, I perceived with a
sigh that tbe Dr. side was crowded, and that
the Cr. side, beyond the original sum paid in,
V presented a perfect blank. My possessions had
^- attenuated to the entry ot two hundred pounds ;
' <^id as it was an understanding with the bank
that my account should not go bolow a hundred,
there remained to me that sum precisely,
with -the soliiary good point about it that it
was free from deot. Under such circumstances
the melancholy eonvietion deepened ou me tliat
at no distant day 1 should be hard up.
One day 1 had gone into a little French caf6.
It was a clean, quiet little place, domg a mod-
est business among bumble peoolo; but the
proprietors understood cooking, and were
doing things remarkably cheap and well It was
the autuian oX thejrear, and thinsa were yerr dull
in the newspapers ; and oerhaps that was the
reason why a long letter appeared i« a leading
morning paper, contrasting the expensive club
dinner with the equally goon and inexpensive
dinner at this restaurant. As I read the paper,
the notion occurred to me that this was the
sort of dinner which I ought to eat for the
present, until affluence, should by some strange
obanoe dawn upon me again. It so happened,
however, that the same notion had occurred to
a lot of other fellows. The proprietor of the
rooms was amazed by about a hundred gentle-
men walking into the premises, each expecting
a first-class dinner. The inroad was not unsus-
pected, and an immense number of dinners
were served, though with considerable delay
between the removes. As the tables thinned,
I found myself sitting with a very interest-
ing man, who, like m.yself. had been taxing
the resources of the establishment by ordering
some dishes which one does not often meet with
in London, but are not uaoommoa in Paris.
What attracted me to this man was an im-
mense pile of ponderous books belonging to
the bishest departments of German bterature.
Having done very fairly, we enga^ied in moral-
ising over the vanities of tbe pleasures of the
table.
- " Yes," said my companion, delicately spread-
ing some p&t6 de ioie gras over his bread, " I
aui .if raid the age is passing bv for plain living
and high thinking, which used to be tbe pan
tor the great scholars of old."
"Yes," I sighed deeply, sipping my Char-
treuse of the Monastery, "men now carry per-
sonal luxuries to an unwarrantable extreme.
As tor aoholaisbip, I am afraid the habit of
steady application has vanished; at least I
never had it myself. 1 cannot even stand an
opera, and merely- drop in for my favorite airs."
He glanced at his books, and said half apolo-
getically, " I think when a man has worked
hard, as I have all day, that it is a pleasant re-
vulsion to loicer tor a couple of Lours over a
repast which at least has been distinguished by
oonsideraole variety.'"
" 1 have not done the work, but I have en-
joyed the dinner," was my answer; " and there
are such lots x)f men 1 know who have an in-
creasmg appreciation for dinner and an increas-
ing depreciation of work. It is wonderful how
people hate work and like dining."
** vVe have it on very good authority that it
a man will not work, neither shall be eat."
"isupijose so," said I; "but working is a
great Pure. It is revolting to all the finer feel-
ings to be grinding merely tor the sake of
grist, like a mule on a mill, when in quiet ob-
servation and letieution one might be elaborat-
ing a higher kiud ot workmanship altogether."
" Possibly "—tins was m a very quiet, per-
haps sub-acid tone. He added, " If a man goes
iu for plain living and high thinking, that is a
very ditterent affair altogether. You may
think as high as you like, if you live as plain
as you can."
1 bad a little further talk with my new-
found friend, telling him with a sudden coufi-
denoe, which seemed a bold venture, but which
rested upon an intuition of character, some
little about myself. 1 rememoer very well
that the sum ot his remarks was a little like
this :
•' 1 am rather a rich man myself," he said ;
"and I really Hie to cultivate dinins: as one of
the fine arts. But it is only one amusement out
01 many, and by no means one of the most re-
fined. Many people limit the feeding alto-
gether. Lord Byron would dine olf dates and
water ; and I know a great nooleman who has
an immense dinner daily at his house, and fre-
quently aides off an apple."
" i^ou happen to say that you are rather rich ;
on the other nand I am pj,iticularly poor. I
shall by and by have to dme on a IliOston pip-
pin, unless, likeJdr. Micawber, something turns
up."
He looked amvised. '* You are breaking
yourself in very gently for your reverse. Thei-e
uave been a great many men lu this room to-
night, but you are about the last sort ot man
whom I should expect to use such language."
•• It Will soon be all tr-p with me ;" spelling
that expressive monosyllable.
•• I don't thiuK taat need distress you. You
are a little hipped. Get out ot London,
and have a " little solitude, leisqre, ac-
tivity, in our broad wondeiiul provincial-
hie. In this Eaglaud of ours no man like your-
self need starve. With your muscular devel-
opment you might in a couple of days, as col-
lier or ironworker, earn enough to keep you as
a gentleman for the rest of tbe week. You
could live if you chose on twelve shillings a
week. You laugh, but I can assure you that I
have lived in remote districts where money is
seldom seen by tne natives, and -its use is only
imperfectly comprehended. Well, that is only
an exaggeiiation, but, as the philosophers say,
it is an exaggeration which contains a truth.
Have you iraveied.much aoout Eugiaud V
" Yes," 1 answered. " to several ot the water-
ing-places— Cheltenham, Harrogate, Scarbo-
rough."
" That is substantially all the same district,
working in the same groove. Artificial societv
is distriDuted by the Jb'ates in certain belt^ and
regions ot England, and you never get out of
this area. You wiil have the same sort of peo-
ple and the same high prices everywhere. Go
to some ordinary shire not overrun by tourists
aad would-be lashionables. Wander about at
you^ own sweet will. You will have time to
clarify and maiure your ideas."
" Where had I better go, think you 1"
"(xo where you like. One place is very
much the same as another. Open ^radshaw,
and go to tbe first place you lay your finger on,
with Che proviso that it is a place you have
never neafdof before."
"Jstill I don't exactly see, even when I have
got to this outlandish country place, how I am
advanced in my plans."
" Neither do I. But I will give you one
short piece of advice in the practical conduct
of liie. Don't take long views. One of
the Port Koyalist writers says that in
the morning he only looked forward to the
atteruoon. I don'f. go so far as to say that ;
but talte my word for it, short views are best.
Tney open up the path to longer vistas. They
open up the gambit of the game, and you trot
out the pieces and see how they conduct them-
selves. However, I may, perhaps, be an em-
piric. I am simply telling you 10 do much as
1 have done in my own time myself, and found
the benefit ot it."
Then he arose to go. As I did the same, I
took out my card, and he handed me his own.
I cast my eye on it and saw the name, Sir
Henry Westlake- a name which at that time
was well and favorably known at times
througpout the country, although I will not
specify m what path ot eminence.
'• It 18 very cm-ious," I thought to myself,
"this man dropping from the skies and sneak-
ing like an oracle at tbe very moment that 1
wanted sometaing oracular. I have nothing
at all to do, so I may as well do as he tells me.!'
1 took up Bradahaw iu my hands. "I will
go into some unirequented neigaborhood. I
will live cheaply. 1 will thinx quietly. I will
see what will turn up." Such were my oogita-
tions at this point. I closed my eyes and
opened Bradsaaw. I turned over several
pages, and theu I put dowu my finger on one
ot them, making a slight indentation with a
pencil. Then i opened my eyes and glanced at
the Bradahaw. Ameabury was marked by
my pencil. "Ameabury is heucetorth linked
to my destiny," 1 exLjlaimed aloud. "I go to
meet my tato at Amesbury. Where on earth
may Amesbury liappen to bo ?"
'■Somewnere down West," said my compan-
ion, muoli amused with this new kiud of sortet
Vu-guiaudB. " ion are sure to be in luck. I

world, if I uouia only do so at three-and-twenty

" .No," 1 said, as we shook hands heartily.
"I have just arranged to meet tue future at
Amesuury."
CHAPIER IL
At five o'clock in the afternoon of the next
day I uesoeudea irum a third-olaaa carriage on
the piatiorm ot the Amesburv Station. 1 had
never ueeu lu a third-claos carriage before, and
i did not coiuciue with a genteel passenger
that tbo thir.i-class was as good aa the hrst.
I had never heard ot AmcsOury belore in all
my lite, such being the case, 1 considered
tuat It must be a place totally uninteresting.
1 thought I knew the names of all
the places whiiner iieopic think it
worth their whUe to rush, and Ames-
bury was certaiu.y not in the number.
But I have reasou to oelieve that ail the nice
places in our little island have not yet been
uiscovcred, catalogued, anu labelled. I had
bought MuiTuy's BandOqo/i lor tue county, and
1 had. touud oui, tii;ic lor tue hist time 1 was in
the propjuiquicy ot cathedral, castle, aboay,
river, hiUs, ^cil worth the soemg. Indeed, so
rich is this England 01 ours, that there are .not
many square miies totally devoid of objects of
iiitertJSL. So 1 got out at Amesbury quite cheer-
luUy ; out as 1 did so my ongrnal ii;quiry
returned, '' Where is Amesbury i" Amesuury
was not at all visible from tbe Amesbury rail-
way station, and 1 discovered that it was a mile
and a halt away, a distance that mieht
be Siishtly abndjjcd by iroiug up a lane and
througu some meadows. Amesbuiy was on a
little branch line— of course m a hopelessly in-
solvent oonditio&r=.and ypumight count ud the.
number of daily trains on your fingers. The
station-master, who was able to combine with
his official duties tbe care ot a small farm, was
returning home to feed his pigs, andtold me he
could show me the road past Squire Gorst's
house. lieft my portmanteau in the open of-
fice which did duty as a cloak-room, and shoul-
dering a knapsack I sallied forth. On the way
we saw Squire Gorst's bouse, to which Murray
had devoted a line and a half containing two
complimentary adjectives. It was the pretty
sort of house that comes out so well in photo-
f;raph8. having veranda, bow-window, cedars,
awn, and young ladies in book-mualin; only
on this occasion the young ladies were conspic-
uous by their absence.
"That's Squire Gort's," said the station-
master.
" Who might Squire Gorst happen to be 1 "
" Him as used to keep the bounds," said the
station-master, without any particular lucidity
of expression.
The hounds were more interesting to me
than the Squire.
" What has become of the hounds," 1 asked
afFectionately.
I had something to do with bounds .in my
day — had hired hunters at Death's, and had
gone to the field in scarlet array.
. " Squftro guv 'em up," said tbe station-master.
" He has about ,xuv up everything : hrst, Par-
liament, then ihe magistrates' meeting every
Monday at Amesbury Town-haU,' then being
director of the railway, and last of all, the
hounds. I didn't like his giving up
the railway company," added the
station-master, generously identifying himself
with th^ original shareholders. " But he sends
me a pheasant or a brace of partridges all the
same. And he has a main clever daughter, that
could go either to Board, or Bench, or Parlia-
ment itself, if she chose to go, and they
chose to have her. She is a good creature,
though perhaps a little masterful."
Amesbury House looked very pretty — a big
house, but still a home-like one, just escaping
the being shown as a show-house, and so de-
stroying anything like seclusion and domes-
ticity. It had an ancestral sort of look about
it:
"All things in order stored —
A haont of ancient peace."
I have been ia millionaire's houses, where
everything was bright, sharp, angular, metal-
lic— ready-money is h even on the first outside
inspection ; but there was nothing of tbe kind
here. Squire Gorst's lines had been oast in
pleasant places, even though the lines might
now be beginning to run out. I am not cer-
tain that some sort of Commtmist's notion did
not come to my mind that old squires wh»
could no longer ride to hounds might give a
mount to young knights of the Lackland order.
It was evident also, by the clumps of planta-
tions in the surrouadiag dewy meadows, that
there would be a plenty of shooting of those
pheasants and partridges whereof tbe honest
station-master spoke. We passed two lodges
which were villas in themselves, and tbe pros-
perous, well-kept, orderly appearance of things
was unmistakable. The station-master might
have proved a regular Andrew Pairservice in
speaking of the big houses and the gentry,
only tbe appearance of some pigs
which he identified as his own caused
him to pursue practical researches ou
a path opposite to that which he had indicated
to me.
" I suppose you'll be sure and go on and see
Beacon Point f It's about the prettiest view
in all these parts, I'm thinking."
" How far ("
" Three or four miles. There'll be a beauti-
ful view at sunset. Lots of gentlemen have
come down to paint it."
"Those artist fellows find out out every
place," I said to myseit. " I defy Bradshaw
to name a place which they haven't spotted."
So, wishing the station-master good night, I
strolled on through the pleasant lanes and fields,
taking tne obvious by-cuts through tbe mead-
ows. There was some high -ground m tbe
distance, which obviously lormed uiy destina-
tion. I emerged at last upon tbe Point. I
came so suddenly upon it, I was utterly unpre-
pared for the view that it revealed to me, I
came out of a narrow path on the tallest point
ol a promontory that overlooked a tidal river.
It was sunset, and I watched momentarily to
see the disk of the sun descend into the 'broad
water. Its last red light was on the sails of
ships, on the scarred rocks, on rich timber, on
rich sheaves of corn, on the delicate purple
heights far away beyond the " silver streak"
of sea. The view broadened beautifully before
me, not least beautifully when it became indis-
tinct, and the haze hanging over distant moun-
tains was helped by the imagination. Inefi'ably
pure and sacred was the evening hour, the
solitude, the calm. A denizen ia cities, a
mover in active life, I had hitherto strangely
overlooked 'the rich joys that belong to scenery
and solitude. The views were lovely, and I
examined each view that could be gained from
either side of the height.
As 1 reached the summit once more, I per-
ceived that I was not so lopely as I had
thought. Two ladies were reclining on a hil-
lock, with their shawls somewhat tightened
around them, on account of the freshening
breeze. I suppose I am an inconsistent being ;
but as I had been happy in solitude, so, as soon
as I saw faces, I longed for companionship. It
IB a leeble sort ot feeling, but I am afraid we
cannot excise that instinctive "yearning" for
sympathy. One of these faces was, I thought,
very fair. The other had also that soft matron-
ly beauty possessed by so many old ladies; and
I took tbe two for mother and daughter. I sat
down on a jutting rook, and carelessly ad-
dressed some remark to them. It was against
all the conventionalities; but my silent day
bad mace me hungry for talk, and, like the
fishes, I was ready to nibble at sunset. So I
carelessly addressed some remark to
the elder lady on ; the suddenness
and sweetness of the prospect on which one
came so unexpectedly from the lower grounds.
" So you have never been to the Point be-
fore?" 'scie asked.
I anawjefed. No ; that this was my first visit
to the western shires.
" What part of England do you know and
like best!? "
I answered, somewhat logically, that the
part I knew best was not necessarily tbe part
I liked best.
" I had only been regretting to myself just
now tnat 1 had lived so long la cities — m Cam-
bridge and in London— and so I knew little of
sweet and civil country ways, and all the beau-
tiful scenery of the western lands."
Cambridge and London! These are talis-
manio words. There is no Englishwoman
to whom they are not fraught with all manuer
of associations. For tde matter of that,
every part of England is be^tinnrng to know
every other part. . The railways bring all parts
of the land into copneotion. To go from -one
part of England to another is now little more
than to go from street to street, and fiom room
to room.
Mv talk was chiefly with the old lady. The
younger one said little, but said it in a mu-
sical tone that it was positive pleasure to listen
to.
After we bad been talking some time, with
the unceremonious ease of strangers meeting
at an evening party, I was somewhat sbocKed
by a servant in a dark livery aporoaching, and
asking whether he should bring round the car-
nage. I now noticed a neat carriage and pair
.standing under some trees at a short dist.anoe.
" Can we offer you a seat in our carnage ?
Are you going to Knottingley %"
"■ I will take a seat in your carriage with
pleasure," I answered; "but I really don't
know whether I am going to Knottingley or
not."
''That's odd," said the younger lady, with a
laugh. "But here's the carriage. Come in."
I snatched up my valise, which was lying
close at hand, assisted the ladies into the car-
riage, and followed them in.
It was certainly a new experience to me to
be bowling along a pleasant maoadamizad
road, with two fair-spoken ladies — one of them
very handsome — without the slightest possible
conception where we were driving to, or what
was to become of me.
We had gone on very pleasaatly for nearly
half an hour, when the elderly lady-r-on whose
mind the notion had prooably been gaining
ground that I was an escaped lunatic, who was
throwing himself unsought on their hoapilality
for tue night — inquired, a little anxiously,
"Anl don't you really know what you are
going to do 'with yourselt to-night?"
I hastened to explain that i was out for a
holiday ; that air and exercise were what I
wanted ; and that, those being obtained, it was
a matter ot extreme inditference to me at
what point of the compass they were obtained.
'' But such a kind oi' expedition appears
somewhat objectless," said the younger lady,
in a cool, quiet, criticising tone.
" Just bo," 1 answered.
" You mean that your present journey is
without an object V
" I don't profess to have any object at all in
life."
"No object at all in life!" she said, a little
astonished. " Surely that is a mistake, and not
quite right."
" I don't see that there is any object any-
where," I answered. "You have heard of
Ctough, the model Oriel man, perhaps. Let us
quote his lines." And 1 repeated the fine pas
sage —
" O tbat the armies indeed were array'd ! O joy of
the onset I
Soasd. thou trompet of God! Come fvpth.. Grent

Neither batilo I see, nor

Onlv inflntte jumble and mess snd aislocation,
Baok'd by a solemn appeal, For God's sake, do

The elder lady laughed, but the younger
sighed. " It IS a fine passage. I know the im-
mortal Tobie-na-Voulich well. But I think the
lines lie open to a certain amount of critici-m."
" And what will be your criticism V
"Well, if you will excuse my say-
ing so, " she answered, " I think that
there is a battle gcmg on, and that most
of you young men of the present day are very
shy of taking part in it. I think that all
Christians have a King and Leader, and may
hear the trumpet of God if they tliooee to listen
for it. There is always a great cause and a
great battle."
She had drawn up her veil while speaking.
It was a youthful face, clear-cut features, olive
complexion, brilliant eyes ; only that for so
young a face there was a force, a decision, a
melancholy, that struck me as being a little
hard, and suited rather for the elderly com-
panion, who appeared, on the other hand, to be
wanting in such characteristics.
• O, that's the line of argument," I answered.
" You are of opinion that ' life is real, life is
earnest.' and all that sort of thing. I
have known soveial men of my
time, who, after reading Carlyle, have
gone about calling themselves 'earnest,' and
I have generally noticed tbat they are the most
affected and self-indulgent men out. Instead
of reforming tbe universe they might retorm
themselves and their tailors' bills."
"Well, Mary, you have got your answer,"
said the elder ot the two.
Mary!— how much, I said to myself, I should
like to have known her other name. At the
same time I could not help coloring. Of course
my remarks might bear the character of at-
tempting a laugh at the lady's expense. But I
had fallen into tbe soohiatioal tiick of answer-
ing jest with earnest, and earnest with jest.
" fell me where we are to put you down,"
said Mary.
I answered that it was, a matter of perfect
mdiff'erence as to where they put me down. "I
shall have a pleasant twilight walk until I get
under cover somewhere."
" Then I will put you down at the Knoll.
James," to the coachman, " stop at the Knoll.
You are the most genuine specimen of a
knight-errant that I have ever met with," she
continued. " I suppose you have read Mill on
lAberty ?"
" Yes," I answered, " and his book on the
Subjection of Woman too."
" 0, that's great nonsense," she answered,
coloring. "But I think you are just the sort
of young gentleman whom Mr. Mill would ap-
preciate ; a considerable dash of individuality,
and if you choose, in spite of popular opinion,
you would venture to be eccentric."
" You speak," I said, " as wisely as if you
were delineating character by the handwrit-
ing."
" Well," she said ' I think there is a higoer
type of character than that ; a type which
Clough indicated in the lines you quoted,
though he may have failed to import m.y sense
into them. I try to be earnest, even at the
risk of being thought affected. If I meet a
stranger, for Once in my life I try to speak a
good word. If I were to meet him again, I
postpone my good word for a more convenient
time ; but i don't think it at all probable that
I shall ever see you again, and therefore I
shall not mind giving you a clear word of ad-
vice. 1 think a young man ought to form a
high ideal of life, and try and live up to it. I
think he ought to stand apart from his life
and contemplate it as'a whole, and make it a
work of art. When a man does that 1 respect
him as having a spark of divinity about him;
but if less he is merely a Sadducee."
"1 am afraid I'm a Sadducee," I answered.
Just .at this moment the carriage stopped.
An eminence crowned by a tult of trees
stood close by, which I justly conceived to be
the Knoll. I shook hands with the ladies and
ahghted. The carriage rapidly resumed its
progress. I watched it until the last sounds of
the wheels bad died away.
"What an extraordinary yoimg woman !" I
thought to myself. "1 wonder if she drives
about, preaching in the open air, or addressmg
public meetings on women's rights and wrongs.
I can't make out the map" — and already in the
gathering gloom I saw the tiny light of the
glow-worm — " but I will take the right-hand
road at a venture."
The right-hand road degenerated into a lane
that seemed to have no turning and no ending.
I trudged and trudged till I was fairly tired.
The gloom increased till I could hardly see my
hancTbetore me. At last I came to a little vil-
lage, and with difficulty I detected the sign-
board of a humble ho&teL I knocked and
knocked unavailingly, until at last a
light was shown in an upper window, and a
rough voice bade me begone, as the place was
quite full. So I journeyed on to the next vil-
lage, and though I detected lights in the little
inn, yet no reply was vouchsafed to my knock-
ing. I was now exhausted by this prolonged
ramble coming on the close of the long railway
journey. It seemed to me to be highly proba-
ble that the first night ot my bucolic pilgrim-
age would have to be passed under a hedge or
under a haystack. That little fiash of adven-
ture had eventuated in a long, tiring, and som-
bre way ; so «oon do all the sparkling colors of
lite fade out. The rain came on later, -first in
mizzle, then in a down-pour. However, there
was luck m the third time. 1 came to a village
of a larger sort, with an inn of the
better kind. The door was at once un-
barred, and never hkd 1 heard a more
grateful sound. With joy I followed into a
neat, well-furnished bedroom, ftmeilmg of lav-
ender, rtUd tempting with clean white sheets.
The sheets, however, were throwh off to avoid
all risk of damp, and I also had guarded my-
self by a warm potation agains]ti any bad effects
of my wetting. So I turnad in, I must ac-
knowledge, rather tired and depressed.
I was awoke the next morning, however, by
the brilliant sunshine • streaming in upon my
bed. iwas thoroaghiy rested, and my sensa-
tions were those of cheerfulness and happiness.
I liked my present bedroom, all in the purest
white dimity ; I liked the purely sylvan pros-
pect which was outstretched before my win-
dow. I went down stairs, where ham and eggs
were speedily brought to me. iT'he table was
adorned, too, with a basket df^ples ot Hes-
perian fragrance and beadtyr I lounged
about on a smooth-shaven lawn and in a pleas-
ant arbor, beguiling mv time with my though cs
— some of which, I confess, related to my sin-
gular interview.the evening before with the two
ladies — and a Tauchnitz volume, which, con-
sciously or unconsciously. I had smuggled over
in my last trip from Pans. Then I prepared to
leave, and called lor my bill, which I give as a
a specimen of what charges in country villages
used to be a few years ago, and which vindi-
cated Sir Henry Westlake's notion of cheap-
ness:

I started again on my pilgrimage. I longed
for an adventure: but adventures do not come
for the asking. I had duslied one in the very out-
set of my journey, and it was not likely I should
have another. Still, "adventures to the ad-
venturous," said Disraeli. So 1 went along the
limes, walking leisurely, noting nature, chew-
ing the cud of reflection. As for notiug nature,
1 am afraid that 1 did so iu a most imperfect
and rudimentary way. It is astonishing what
new notes of nature you get it you happen to
be walking with a poet or painter. You must
stud.y nature a great deal oeforo you make
much out of her. My luncheon was as simple
aa any anchorite could desire ; a few biscuits,
some delicious blackberries irom the bodges,
and a glass ot cold water, given with exquisite
grace uy a young cottager, sutficed. Tue cud
of reflection was a lar iesa pleasant repast to
chew. I could hardly go throuich this unde-
fined walking tour without impinging on
that sacred hundred pounds. 1 know of
no business where so humble a capital
would be able to do anything. That wroteiied
buudred pounds, or call it two with my reserve
fund, would keep cropping up with all its prac-
tical issues. But soon nature soothed my cares
with the bonny sights and sounds of country
life. It was a "case of Coin and Care versua
Nature and Youth. The latter carried the day ;
I voted Care and Coin caddish, and, a noble
animal, I rejoiced in Naiure.
As the laughin:: streamlet sang lor joy, as
the trees of tbe held clapped their hands, my
mind was merry witii tueir mirth, and, like
Alexander, I reserved for my sell hope.
So I had four or five days' walking by myself.
It was something strau-e, this being tlirown so
much into my own society. Here was my lile,
I thought to myself, and what on earth was ' to
do with iti One humole feeling I certainly had
— tbeconvictionot its insignificancy; thatitwas
of no particular value to any one but tbe own-
er, and Irom his pomt of view it did not matter
much what became of it. These dreadful prac-
tical questions have a trick ol recurring like
recurring decimals. S'nould I emigrate 1 I
thought to myself. Emigration 1 lelt was the
natural outlet lor young men ; but I had had
the superfine education that unfitted me for a
kind of work of which I was quite ignorant.
This idea was unwelcome, and 1 put it away.
idea wss consciously presented to me — sug-
gested to me, I imagine, by tnat conversation
the other evening ct the Point — that I ought to
look at my limited human life as a whole,
make it a work of art if possible, and Try
and put into it something like a sense
of duty and aspiration that should prove
a dominant theory of life ruling
all the details. This idea was a
novel one. something altogether new to my
experience, but it somehow gave me strength
and courage. I turned it over and over in my
mind several times while 1 was wandering
about in those well-remembered days ot old.
CHAPTER in.
The "chapter of accidents" was unfolding
itself. My next adventure came and proved a
damp one. I had formed no settled plan of
travel, and was striking almost at random
across field and lane as any pretty prospect
seemed to open before me ; my general idea
being that I was to jot otf the places of interest
mentioned by Murray. But certain things came
to pass in this wise : I had been so see the ruins
of an old captle overhanging the river, a
famous old castle that almost enabled
me to realize the old baronial type which it so
vividly recalled. Prom this castio I could see
the promontory of the Point where I had been
only a few evenings belore with the two ladies.
The old castle would have been all the pleas-
anter if they were still '*ny companions ; they
would " have made a sunshine in a shady
place." A pretty little child showed me ail
about ; with fearless grace she ran along the
narrow ledge of wall. I could see the view on
the right hand expanding into a tawny estuary
of the sea, and diminishing on tbe left almost
to a thread of light iu the distance. The idea
came into my head tbat I would beat up by
the side of the river until I came to some neat
town or village on its shore, or to some bridge
or ferry that would take me to the opposite
bank.
So I went up the river shore, mile after-mile,
hour after hour. The path sometimes skirted
the bank, which,with level spaces interspersed,
preserved for a considerable distance the char-
acter of a sheer cliff. Now, as I was going
along one of tnose level spaces, meadow land
shadowed by noble timber, a some^vhat singu-
lar incident came to pass. I heard a strange,
strong, sudden sound — a sound as of rushing
water — thunderous, unearthly. The noise was
behind me, and 1 looked back in amazement to
see what it might be. Tne river presented a
singular phenomenon. There appeared to be a
wall of water, almost of a man's stature, glitl-
ing onward with the utmost velocity. I at
once recollected — my ramble being about the
time of the Autumn equinox — that this mus^
be the ceger or boro so well known on
some parts of the coast. Tho appearance was
so striking, and to one previously unacquainted
with it even so threatening, that I took at once
to my legs, and ran rapidly so as to gain the
next cliff. But before I could do so, tho water
had spread itself over hall the meadow, and I
was wet through to tbe knees. I quickly was
out of reach: and watching the onward rush-
ing stream 1 perceived that the banks, where
they did not rise to cliffs, were flooded on
either side by the stream. The path tbat
skirted the river was now untenable, and I was
obliged to get into the high-road that ran
parallel' with the river, so tar as a straight
line cotdd be parallel with a devious stream.
On I went, mile after mile, hour after
hour. I dia not know that I was on a great
ducal property, where the farm-holdings were
unusually enormous, and consequently the
country-side had for leagues no collection of
habitations, but was chiefly diversified by farm-
houses big and stately as manor-houses. The
only guide that 1 had was the broad white
river, tbat still gleamed white, although the
day had long since waned, and I was again be-
nighted. At last I saw some lights gleaming
on the further shore. 1 thought that perhaps
there might be a terry here, and I shouted and
shouted in the hope of attracting attention.
At last there came back an answering shout,
and I heard in the darkness the clashing of a
chain. Presently I he'ard voices, and was told
to go to the steps. I went in the direction of
the steps, having positively to wade through
two leet of water, and discerned a wall, by
which I rightly guessed tho flooded steps were
situated, which at a dry season went down from
the bank into the river. A good-looking young
fellow, smoking a cigar, was sitting in the big
ferry-boat, one so big that it served for the
carriage of cattle and heavy goods, worked,
though the river was broad, by a chain. When
we arrived on the other side the boat was al-
most exactly under the projecting gables of a
big house, whence were gleaming the lights
of which I spoke. I soon perceived that this
was a hostel called the Pisherman's Arms, into
which I was very glad to get entrance, and
proceeded, according to the former precedent,
to obviate the bad effects of my wetting. The
landlord said that there was only one sitting-
room, which was rented by two gentlemen
who were fishing ; but he had no doubt they
would let me have a share in their fire and
their apartment.
When I entered, after a courteous message, I
found that the fishermen were not only fishers,
but also — a very different thing, as my own ax-
porience testified — had taken some fish. A
large appetizing dish of trout was before them,
and with an easy kindness they said 1 had bet-
ter have some with them, as there was no more
in the house. One ol the men was the young
fellow who, cigar in mouth, had come over in
the ferry-boat, apparently lor the lack of some-
thing to do. I had never seen a pleasanter,
more contented fellow, sunny as the sunward
peach on the wall.
Tbe elder was a different sort of man, quiet,
thoughtful, intensely occupied, with au array
of books and papers on the table behind bim
which had overnowed to the tea-table. From
red tape around piles of papers I conjectured
that he was a barrister taking a holiday to
freshen himself up tor the beginning of term.
They made their head-quarters at this
fishing inn, whence they had explored
a good deal of the country, ana had
fished, not without success, in the river,
having caught several salmon with rod and
line m tbe main river, and lots of trout in the
tributary streams.
I had my own little story to tell in answer to
their frank confidences. I was a stranger in
this part of the country, had never been here
belore, and only came as a sort ot whim. But
1 had accidentally met a clever man in Loudon,
Sir Henry Westlake, who had advised me to
tane this sort of pedestrian trip ; ana happen-
ing to have his card about me I took it up and
looked at it.
"I know Sir Henry," said the elder of m.y
companions ; " he is a singular man, but good
and clever ; and once he went out of his way to
do mo a great kindness, though really I had no
sort ot claim upon him."
This little incident broke tho ice, if indeed
their kind hospitality had not broken it already.
We sat up till qute late at night chatting. I
andtue younger man had it chiefly to our-
selves, until the elder cousin — for that M'as tho
connection between them — put aside his papers
and went into the conversation with a vi ^or
tbat atoned for his previous silence. I too was
glad to find my tongue again. I had been
silent and solitary for some days, and had been
iaoimed to share the opinion of that morbid old
gentleman who declared that conversation was
tho bane of society. But now that society was
ready made to my hand once more I enjoyed it
as murjh as iu the smoking-room of the club ;
indeed, the talk was of a better quality than 1
think the club couid have luinisued.
There were just two or three days loft of
their holidai'S, aud as I had nothing at all to
do with my time 1 easily arranged that I
woidd join them.
The young man said rather unexpectedly,
" When Ellis loaves mo ou Thursday, I aiu
going ou to Dorchester to stay with my uncle,
who is one of the canons. He is a very kind
old man, and will bo delighted to see j'ou at
dinner on. Friday or Satui-day. Ho always tells
me to bring any friend I like."
I thougut Air. Blount was a little reckless
with his invitations, and I looked inquiringly
at tho elder man.
" O, you had better go," he said smilingly.
" If you are looking at the count.y, Murray in
hand, you ought to see something of tho
count.y people. i'"ou will have a capital oppor-
tunity at tue canon's. Catoodral cities are
curious places. The city people keep to the
city people, aud know uotuiug of. the county
people. But, on the other baud, the cathedral
people are hand in glove with the county
people, and know little or nothing of the city
people."
•• He had better come to the meeting of the
Naturals on Wednesday"— thsit would bo the
day alter tJ» morrow— " and tbtit will be au op-
portunity of comp..riug differences between
city and county people."
'• Who are the Naturals ?" I inquired.
" O, that is our county Naturalist Society.
They have a held day on Wednesday at Brcay
Castle. O, that is great fun. Our favorite
naturalist is to read a paper ou local edible
snails found near Brea.y Castle, and originally
imported by the Koiuans, and a celeoraced
antiquary is coming down on purpose to discuss
the Btylb of boot used m tho time of the earlier
Piantagenets."
" A little dry, isn't it I"
" You're not obliged to listen to it unless you
like. The leeding will be better than the
reading, I expect. It is quite the best day
of the vear. You will see our clever heiress,
Mary Edgeworth, and, it you like, I will intro-
duce you. I am a marned man myself, and so
ley. he is nobody until he gets into the Foreign
Office. « Then you will see all our county bo-
ciet.y. You may know Cambridge and London
as well as you like, but if you nave not lived
in the counties you may not understand county
society."
"lam told that, after all, * county people '
are the nicest people out."
" All onr county society is really included
within very manageable limits. The railways
take us about everywhere, and bo the whole
thing lies in a nutshell. We all know one an-
other by name, and generally by sight. We
are not altogether unlike the condition of
things in Attica, if you remembor your Thick-
sides— the men of the hills, ' the men
of tbe plain, and the men of the sea-
board. Among >■ the hills we have our
nobles — the county only boasts of three — and
on tho plains tbe towns, wi^ burgesses ; and
as lor tbe seaboard, by which I mean the
coast of our broad tidal river, why, I am afraid
my analogy rather breaks down here. The
Earl of Lechmere is our Lord Lieutenant — his
property stretches from the sea to the hills-
very plesant unassuming people, aud often
give me a few days' shooting. I hardly sup-
peso they will be at the Naturals ; but thwe
will be some honorable or other to represent
them. When we get away from Lord Lech-
mere's lands there a great man.y country
squires scattered about, and the parsons here
Alt belong to squires' families, and are as
good as squiies themselves. You will
find that they know the burghers, meeting
them at railway and hospital meetings,
and all that sort of thing, but you will
find tbat they do not cohere very easily. Bish-
op, Dean, and Canons of ceurse make eommon
cause with the county people. Our merchants
are all on the look-out to buy land and become
county people themselves."
So it was settled that we should go to the
Naturals.

CHAPTER IV.
Breay Castle presented a very different scene
this crowded gala-day from the silence and
solitude it presented a few evenings ago, when
I lingered and meditated in its deserted court.
Carriage after carriage rolled past the old stone
lions, and one gay party after another -passed
through the old gateway between the tigretal
'ITae Naturals mustered in large force, and with
less appearance of lunacy than might
be imagined from their nickname. It was
easy to draw a line of distinction
between those who were bent on improving
their minds and those who meant to impi'ova
the occasion according to their own peculiar
theories. There was no mistaking the specta-
cles, the note-cases, the instruments, the sub-
dued raiment, with the gayer costumes of flirts
and butterflies whose researches would hardly
extend beyond the geology ot a pasty-pie. I
was introduced to the President of the Natur-
als, and I am not sure that I was not then and
there elected a Natural myself. As I was en-
tering an old corridor whose windows looked
out on the gray barbican, whom should I meet
but Mrs. Percival, that sweet old lady who was
with *' Mary " at the Point, and in the crowd
was "Mary" herself, the cynosure of many
eyes.
After hasty kindly greetings,
" Now what is the name of the young
lady who was with you the other evening!"
" Why, surely you know her name !" said
Mrs. Percival. with a smile. " That is Mrs.
Edgeworth."
" Mrs. Edgeworth I" I exclaimed in wonder-
ment, almost in terror, glancing at the exquis-
ite lorm in the sumptuous-tsolored dress. " Is
she married then ? Who ia her husband V'
" She is a widow," answered the lady.
" A widow !'- I exclaimed. " She looks aa
little like a widow as any lady I have ever
seen." This was with another glance at the
lady's attire.
" She has had a very singular history," said
Mrs. Percival. " which goes far to explain one
or two things which may appear singular
to Ton. 1 have known her all my life, "
and I sometimes have called her the
child- wife and sometiines the maid- widow.
You could not belong to this part of
the country without hearing all about her
history. She was married when she was only
sixteen to an officer in the Guards. She was
wild about him, a spoiled child ; and her parents
could not rettise her. I cannot^say that 1 cared
for him at all myself, nor do 1 think, if things
had turned out differently, that he would have
made her a good husband. She was an only
child and an heiress, and he was seventeen or
eighteen years older than herself^ — ^more than
as old again, which I always think is too great
a disparity. But, as I said, she was wild about
him. I have repeatedly seen cases when quite
young gii'ls have been devotedly attached to
men old enough to be their fathers. Now Mary
Gorst—"
" Mary Gorst !" I exclaimed. " Was she
then any relation to Mr. Gorst, of Amesbury t"
And I thought of the pretty place I passed in
going Irom the station.
"The very same; his daughter — his only
daughter — whoso sad story was known all over
the country some five years ago. On the very
marriage morning, Major Edgeworth, riding
over to Amesbury Church, with his best man,
had an accident with his horse. The branch
lino had just been finished, ahd for the first
time, perhaps, the animal heard the shrill rail-
way whistle; at least that is what we supposed,
for the horse had borne him in safety tor years
before. He was throwa from his horse on his
head, but he gathered himself up all right, and
proceeded to church, where the marriage feer-
vice was performed. The breakfast was pass-
ing gaily oft, •'and he was just rising to re-
turn thanks for him'seli. and hia bride,
when he fell back insensible. It was
theu found out that he must have sus-
tained some serious brain injury from the fall,
although tho mischief was some hours in show^
ing itself. He never got over that attack, In-
stead of going on his marriage tour he was car-
ried upstairs in a lamentable condition. Soften-
ing ot the brain set in, and within six months
alter the wedding he died. Now, 1 think her
peculiar history vnll account for a little that is
peculiar about herself. She is a rich man's
only child, and. indeed, she has a considerable
independent income of her own m right of the
marriage settlement, whereon even the ink was
hardlv dry when ail her hopes of happiness were
dashed to tho earth by this terrible disaster. It
altered her character altogether and at once.
Prom a laughmg child she became a grave, ear-
nest woman. Her father is so aged and ailing
that slio has to manage his property
as well as her own. She has had
many suitors, and though I think
she ought to marry again, eh© gives no en-
couragement ; her peculiar history and position
make her very straightforward and indepen-
dent, aud a little autocratic ; but I know her
genuiue worth, and have every reason to think
gratefully of her kindness. You must know she
has~taken rather a fancy to you, Mr. Hylton.
She was quite interested by your adventures
the other night, and- thinks you showed more
originality and independence than is to be found
among the uninteresting young men in this part
ot tho country. But here she is." And, looking
upward, I saw her moving along the old oastle
wall, almost broad enough to admit two, and
then descend rapidly dowu the narrow time-
worn steps with a free, graceful, careless car-
riage peculiarly her own.
Wo were sitting on a ruined buttress of the
old oastle, overlooking the wide champlain and
the broad-flowing peaceful river that flowed
just boneath the castle's ancient water-gate.
She came and sat down beside us.
I don't know whether there was any con-
sciousness betrayed on mv side or on her
friend's, but she said quickly aud decidedly:
■' You have been talking about me."
" Yes, Mrs. Edgeworth," I answered.
''And you know m.v sad history ?"
" vVeli," I said, '• as 1 suppose all the people
hero know it, more or less."
" What is your history, Mr. Hylton?"
" 1 am iu the uumteresting position of not
possessing a history, Mrs. Edgeworth."
" That can be hardly correct, I think." Then
she stamped her little foot somewhat impe-
riously. "Tell 11 to me."
A sudden thought passed through my mind :
"If you want tbe literal truth, you shall hav,c it,
coarse, repellent, commouplace; and if you are
a mere woman uf the wond, amusing yourself
with me, it may maiic you take yourself off as
soon as you choose, lair lady." Thenl spoke:
" Mine is a very commonplace and vulgar
history-. In my past lile I have wasted nearly
all my time and all my money ; and, like Mr.
Micawber, I am ^valtiug lor sbmethmg to turn
up."
" That is rather hard thiigs to say against
oneself at the age of "
Aud she looked inquiringly.
•• Tweuty-three."
"I am twenty-three myself, and of course 1
am getting ou to a quarter of a century, and I
feel at least as it the century were three-quart-
ers over. But there is a great difference be-
tween man and woman in this respect."
" So they say," I answered, " but I am never
quite certain that iheso leceived sayings are
always right. I distrust all generalizations."
"Doyou see tliat pretty little church, peep-
ing up among tho trees V
•'Yes. 'the situation, with the river laving
it, is unusually fine."
" Wt5idd you like to see it ? It has been per-
fectly restored. All the windows are of paint-
ed glass ; and in those woods through which
._, our path will lie you will, perhaps, hear the
Sa'chax. JLiiohtinjEale for the last tiBi«.thi* seftaon»'» '
I ~
She looked at her companion.
" Yes, my dear," said the old lady ; I thougWt
perhaps, a little too submissively. ^^r.-
" Or perhaps you would prefer to hear about
the edible snails. They really are Ihc eaiite
snails that are found in some parts of ItaW •
and the Bomaii soldiers must have brought
them over with them, for thev had a bath
about here."
" I had rather see the wood and the chnrcW
and have a walic with you and Mr». PercivaL"
"Come, then," she said, "It is rather rfl
eteep path fi-om here to the moat, and from th»"
moat we get into a path across the meadows.*;^^
She knew the old locality perfeotly, amnt
bounded down the path. Her elderly cabt-^-
panion followed, not without some some Bigim^-^
of distress.
" So you are still wondering about tbe eooa*
try in this undefined eort of way f "
"Yes," I answered: "it is rather a Wilbela
Meister sort of life — wandering about aa on*
lists, without the shadow of a isorid oblica
tion."
"I daresay it is very nice; bat itisonto^^L.
opposite to what we ladies lead, that it iaS.*M^
cult to give a clear presentation of it to ones
mind. Do you know who you remind m© ot. Mr.
Hylton?"
"Who?" '
" That scholar of Oxenford there is mo^i a .
pretty poem about, who went and lived with
the gypsies, and wa* called the gypsy-scholar."
" You are the only gypsy I have seen."
"And I make a poor sort of Romany, 1 sus-
pect, as 1 am a very sober-minded and uaro-
mantic personage,"
"I fancy I am more like Wilhelm Meister
Berving an apprentieeship of some sore or
other. '"^ .
" I never could admire the immortal ^llhel«
very much."
"Then you cannot really care," I answend,
"for Goethe's, philosophy or Goethe's life. I ■
suppose he himself would eay, in vindication ■
of Wilhelm and of himself, that they were at -
lowing their moral nature to work oat a «eit-
development untrammelled by conventioaaii-
ties, and so come to a true theory of being."
Her beautiful eyes had a sort of merry soom
in them.
"That sounds very grand, Mr. Hylton, aad
I think I have heard something ot the sort
before; but, reduced to plain English prose,
it is only a wordy excuse for abominal»ie seUai^
ness."
" You are a little hard en me."
'' O, I don't mean you. I do not put jou
down as anything so poetical as a schdaf
gypsy or a Wilhelm Meister."
•• 1 think there may be a tendency that way."
''Possibly. Bdt what I am tninking ot »' .
this: if we all took to going out gypsy ing, who
is to encounter the real duty and dullness of
lifel Who are to keep the wheels of lite
going and look after the teaching, nursing.*
cooking of life — to speak of poor woman's pur-
suits alone — besides tne more ennobling busi-
ness of our lords ? "
"I expect I shall have to get into hanees one
of these days ; and though I don't profess to
like work. 1 shall by and by do it."
" You see," she said, " my life has been alto-
gether illtision and mirage. I was a wdd, self-
wiUed girl when I married a man whom I •
simply worshiped, and the marriage-bond
was sundered as soon as made. I am alto-
gether a different being now. I can hardly
recognize my former self. He could not have'
made me happy, if I had been then as I am :
now ; we should, perhaps, have had our alter-
cations, but on the whole have lived harmoni-
ously."
" I hardly know ;" I said. " He was mneh
older than you, and at hia< age the character
becomes stereotyped."
" Anyhow," she said, " I feel that my loss has
broken the springs of my life. All the fresh--
ness and color have gone out of it. I have mf
dearest father to care fo^,
' And keep awbile one parent from t^e skies.'
I have my poor people and all my doties. Bib
I have to look to the skies for any real happi-
ness. I recognize and submit to my tate, and
even approve ot it. I get very tired.* and some-
times 1 think I feel my wihgs growing."
" Forgive the thought, but suppose yon had
hved to find out. that the husband whom yoit
worshiped were altogether an illusion !"
"I should not have hved at all; Ishoald;
have died — have died of a broken heart. I did sa
very nearly as 11 was ; for years my great gridf
hung upon my heart. Perhaps I wanted a erstt
griet"
"Schubert, tbe great musician, said that
character could only be formed oat of a great
grief. That would suit you, Mrs. Edgworth.
He also prooeeos to say tmi{ there is somethiiuc
poor and frivolous about natures that have not
been subject to it; and tbat, I suppose, woukL
suit me?''
" And I think you deal hardly with yourself
Mr. Hylton. Ii yon are not satisfied wita
y«urself. I am sore you have an ideal (iiat la, .
better than yourself."
gg^We had now got baok to the old castle. It
was emptying fast of the Naturals. All the
noisy life with which wa had peopled it had
died out, and we were leaving the grim rehqn- '
ary ruins to the bats that nestled in the to vera '■,
and the mists that swam up from tbe riyec
The neat well-remembered carriage was stand-
ing outside the balnstraded gates, and I aosist-,
ed the ladies to enter. Most of the excursionists
had gone back by tbe special train. My tnend
had found me a vacant place in a triendly drag
whei'e he himself mounted the box. P<» a
short time there was a merry conversation
among the occupants, but as the eveiuns
shadows darkened we all reiapsed into siienoeJ
The thought, what was I to do with my-
self? came with a sickening sense of c^re upon
my mind. I dwelt on Mary Edgeworth'* per-
fect features, on her silvery tones ; bat then
was a difference as great as if oceans rolled and
mountains rose between lis. She was as saeTed
and inaccessible as the evening star that now
began 10 glimmer through the umbrage of tba
trees by the-river. Her parting words consoled
me. I haa said, in conventional phra^. " I
hope we shall meet again^r" and she had aa-
swered with prophetic voice, " I am sure we
shall."
W'
CHAPIER V.
Early next morning I received a short note
written by Mrs. Blount, "I am obliged to go
away, but my uncle Canon Ffrench'
expects you to dinner all the same
at seven."
This is an old sort of thing, this going to a
house which you have never seen, and dimtii;^
with people whom you do not know. My first
impulse was to send off a note , to decline. But
I felt I must go on with my series of adventures
Kud misadventures. I should go on pedestrianis-
ing so long as the fine weather held up. The
clouds were threatening, and when tbe rains
came down it woula be time to shift the venae.
My portmanteau had arrived by train from
Amesbury Station, according to a telegram
which I had sent. Nobody xx^^ be at a loss to
kill a morning in a cathedral city. Every
cathedral city has a history. The cathe-
dral itself is an embodied histonr. Then yoa<
may be sure that it hits had some-
thing to do with tbe Wari of the KuSses
or With the Great Eebellion. i I got through
the day, and up to this presefit time I have
a misty recollection of the paiited glass and
the rolling anthem. >;•
I turned into the cathedral clpse. There wa«
something about it which at once satished my
estbetic sense. There was a central space of
green, along each side of which was an avenue
of trees, now shedding rast the yellow leaves.
There were large sleepy-lookmg houses aboiit.
with close-shaven lawns, chiefly ornamented
with standard roses and basket beds of flow-
ers. A servant in dark livery took charge of
my traps and usnered me up stairs. It was a
large oaken drawing-room. No candles were
lighted, and I shohld never have suspected
gas in such a room. The ruddy blaze of a
cheerful lire contended with the last red light
of the westering sun. An old-fashioned gen-
tleman advanced, with the most beautiiui
eyes that I have seen in an aged face, and at
once set me at perfect ease with his wonderiul
sweetness aud benignity of manuer. A tall
haudsusae-looking army man and his eiegant
wife, son and daughter-in-law of the widowed
canon, did the honors. One lady I was greatly
struck with, who seemed the queen of the—
room. I understood atterward mat she was
Lady Lechmere, the wife ot the Lord Lieu-
tenant, who kept together the society ot tho ' ,^
county while her husband was salmon-fishing
in Norway. Jl'here were ne introduotions, ex-
cept to a rather plain man, a very acute-look-
ing Caiiibridge man, (who, I was told, was aa. ■
inspector of schools,) a well-known critic and
writer of articles. 1 thought, too. from the do- '
scription ot things given me by my friend at.
the fishing place, that if a county lady were to
appear anywhere iu the society of
the cathedral town of Dorchester, it would bo
at the venerable canon's. I looked for
h^, feeling at the time that I had no right toj,
do so, and it almost appeared a bit of fairy ' ,
glamour, a hearing that could not be trusted^
a seeing that could not be believed, when Mr.
Gorst and Mrs. Edgeworth entered the room.
It was very touching to see the old Canon
meet the stUl older squire, and testify hia
thankfulness m that he had violated his ruia
about not going. out to dinner. Tue erect man
now bent, the vigorous man now feeble, marks
of manly beauty gleaming throqgh physioal
decay — such was Squire Gorst, and I ooaid
well imagine how onoe he ooiild ride to-his ^
hounds. And blessings on that kindly Canon—,

atid he went off into quite a monologue about
himgelf.
"There's nothing like being aii inspecter of

. if ever there waS music in my ears, this
pn^osition made such music for me. In my
Miliary rambles I had been forced to think. I
had been thinking of the fbture ; and once or
twice, when i woke up in the morning I loond
that luture weighing on me like a nightmare,
although the brightness of morning had never
ifalled lo chase the shadows away, although
fresh trust ot youth in a controling Frovidenee
bad quenched despair. The delightful feeling
wiucn 1 fiilt Jit the naoment was not the leeling
that I waa dropping ii^io a pieasant kind ox'
kerth, suitable to a man whose banking-boo^
iras in such a deplorable condition, but tUe
sovel sensation that 1 waa really findmg some-
tiiing to do, that somewhere l had a niche
in the world where I might Ull my appointed
place and de something useful — a sensation
mat superinduced that otner novel sensation ot
seii-respeot pirocured by iniemal seif-congratu-
lation. And somehow or other the thought of
Mary Edeeworth tnixed itself up wita the
whole, 'rhe thought tiam^d. into sudden liie
and purpose when her glorious voice tilled the
old Canon's house with music, and made me
vow a vow that there was no time I would not
wait, no worx I would not work, if only 1
might link my lortane to the golden hope that
eotered my heart. It was quite a new sensa-
tum to me to find that there was some living
beiiig with whom I might link ail the dormant
powers and aspirations of my nature ; whose
praaence was to ine au inteilectaal atiaiu-
liu that stirred up all my energies, and at
the same time gave me a sense of rest
Mni peace and unatterablo happiness. From
which state of mind it may be concluded that I
.■was beginning tq be very niuc^ in lovie with
Hrs. Edgewoitb. I don't prefess lo be a supe-
rior kind ot man — the man who can guide and
'^ievace aad devel<^ a woman's nature, and all
that style of thing. On the contrary, I am of
the opinion that 1 want a deal ef guiding and
«levii ting and developing myself; and I couid

Freseutiy H. M. Inspector said to Mr. Gorit:
" My iriend, Mr. Uylton, is coming into the
neighborhood of Ameebury to loolc after the
GuTerument returns of schools. I have been
teiimg iiitu how good the coimtry people are to
ah inspector; and he is going to be one of us in
a sort of way. I am sure you will extend to him
the same sort of kindness."
" He must come and stay with me exactly as
afon have done. You must make Amesburv
4H<ul your bead-quarters, Mr. Hylton, when-
•ever you have anything to do in our part of the
Hjouniy."
Thus It was that in the course of a few weeks
1 was a guest of Mr. Gorst's and Mrs. £dge-
'vortb's. I do not know how it happened ;
ibnt wiien I went to my pretty chamber and lay

jbody a sense of delicious restfulness and pnace.
1 bad always been a wanderer and waytarer,nn-
jtnowing tiie careof either sister or mother ; and.
Though not without giimpees ot better things,
to wbich I have hardly none justice in tnis
scanty narrative, 1 had led the inconsequential,
careless, soitLih life of a mere idler about town.
1 contrasted that ignoble . existence with
doe BO full of plan and purpose, of or-
der and beneficence, like Mary Edge-
■*orth'a. 8be wanted to know what I was
jflajing about Amesbury, and under that pre-
jtence »he taught me'my business as Inspector
'of itetums, wbich required more skill and
•method than 1 hatt looked for. Very puzzled
:iudeeddid the worthy station-master look when
ibe met ine and Mrs. Eclgewoxth walking about
;the heias ; he merely touched^ hi^ hat, however,
•and appeared to plunge into au illimitable
^ain bl thoiigbt.
' ; tjho was so very dear to me, I felt that a false
nature was disappeanug, "as a serpent throws
Its (itkin," and that my true belt was- coming
ibto conscious liie. 1 did not like to tell her
"^oat I thought and telt. This new lite, not
only ot my pleasant stay at the hall, but ol my
quickened nature,' would be shattered if she
saouid.bc asiouisbed at my presumption — should
wonuer how i bud intaconceived the nature of
ber teelings. There was something in her ot
the clever nouaekeeping eluer sisters advising
attiiuue toward her collegian brother, f hero
were some wretched worldly thoughts
that made themselves lelt in my uu-
itabie mind. It waa rather eariy to
fix mysell at three-and-twenty. I might
Beet some one whom I might like better. Then
a widow, despite the chila-wile theory and the
very peculiar history, was a widow ; and i had
thought, lu the rare moments when I evur
tUought, that 1 would never marry a widow.
I haa better think it over again, and, as Lurd
Duudrearv says, speak about it to her in a yeur
or two. But 1 soon blushed for the meanness
dI such thoughts. It seemed to n e that a happy
leaned had oome to me — a turning-point iu
lite — and I should be like the base Judeau
Who threw away " a pearl richer than uli
its tribe " if 1 should lose the glorious
vbanoe. I have known aged men who, with
wet and weary eyes had mused over tbe
glorious possibilities of their youth which way-
wardness or selfishness had thrown away.
•' is'ow don't you be blind, old lellow," 1 sunt
tomjselt, in that easy conversational toao
which 1 occasionally adopt when in my own
company. " You are not to postpone, or dreuin,
or shilly-sbaUy. Approach the deadly immiueuc
breach, and it will lead into a Garden of Para-
dise. Make up your mind clearly, worthily, ir-
revocably, and aet on your decision. Try as a
nan, aiiU if it is agaiMdt you take your late as
a man. At least you wiH not have the remorse
that you lost by vour own tault — lost what
might gi^e a richer color aod higtier meaning
to your life. And, suppose you should win 1 "
ibere was tbe thought of that line old place,
the goodly estate, the horses and bounds. But
1 bUss myself in the recollection that for the
' ~ .ta^oB I lost sight of these things in thinking of
' Mary hersell. Would it be possible that the
troasuros ot that heart and mind could oyer be
some people who have to accept the yealth,
the greatneBS, the happiness, of this hfe. They
have never deserved, they ciin never repay, all
the blessings that have been showered on them.
They can only live a liie of thankfulness and
love." I could not but whisper to myself, too,
that there was a tate which was leading up to
the consummation of my life, so marvelously
strange had been this " chapter of accidents ; "
only 1 have heard of stranger chapters still.
Certainly I shall have a story to tell Sir Henry.
At la«t a day came when 1 sat bv her side;
in the old oaken library, in the Winter fire-
light glow. I think she knew the senae
to which my words bad pointed, and
she did net interrupt me. " I am only
a good-for-nothing tiellow, I am afraid ; an idle
man, a bit of a scamp, a good deal of an igno-
ramus. Bail thii^^ I have one merit — that of
being ableio appreciate excellence and loveli-
ness whenlseeit. Audi really have one thought
now before my mind — that as the years go on
I may ripen into the power of bearing a worthy
partin lite— that there is sometliing in the
worid that I may win and wear. It may help
me it I only thought that you watched mv
work— that you pave me sympathy and regard;
and, let me' tell you now, that I feel I am ven.
taring my all in making the admission, that I
do look torward to a time when I hope to make
myself worthy ot telling you of my love."
I took her hand in mine. I thought it would
be withdrawn, but it was not. I sought her
eyes, but they were downcast, a tear trem-
bling through the lashes.
"Perhaps," she said, very quietly and sim-
ply, " I do not think that' yoa are unworthy
now." — 1/ondon Society.

Thk Court and Courtikhs of Frawof. —
We get many glimpses into the ways of a
Court and of courtiers. On a vacancy in the
Chancellorship,, the Kegent having summoned
D'Agneaseau, tihe Attorney General, to hii
presence, took bim by the arm, and walking
into the gallery thronged with courtiers, said,
" Gentlemen, here is your new and most
worthy Chancellor ;" and he took him awav to
the Tuileries to pay, his respect to the little
King. Not mahy months after his gracious ap-
pointment, D'Agaesseau, who opposed the
finanoin? seheMes of law which were favored
by the Eegent, wasj summarily dismissed
from his high Office and sent into
the country. Another Court scene
shows the boy Kujg, with his Governor,
Marshal Yillergy (the defeated of Ramillies) in
a badcony overlooking the gardens of the Tuil-
enes, crowded with entnusiastio subjects,
shouting, "Long live the King!" Young Louis
tried to escape observation by hiding in
comers, but his sapient tutor urged him to the
front, saying, "Pray, look, my dear master, at
all this company. They are yours ; they all
belong to you: you are their master; pray,
give them a look or two, just to satisfy them."
A fine lesson ^r a Governor to gi/e, adds 'the
historian, and one that was not forgotten.
Vilieroy was extrennely vain, and attempted
to defy the Regent, refusing on one occasion,
in his capacity of Governor, to let his
pupil retire with the latter for a private con-
ference. "You forget yourself. Sir," said Or-
leans ; " Tou do not see the force of your ex-
pression ; it is only the Kiug'a presence that
restrains me from treatmg you as you deserve."
The Marshal saw he had gone too far, and went
next day to make bis peace with the good-
natured Regent, but he had roused a temper in
that personage which made his Hii^hnesa
" nasty." The old Marshal was arrested, spite
of his resistance, was hustled into a sedan-cbair
and conveyed to a carriage, in which he was
driven, an exile, to his country seat at Villeroi.
Like the Kegent, Louis XV. had a charmipgly
gracious way of conferring a tavor. After
the death of Cardinal Fieury, the lUng was
advised by Marshal Noailles to be his own
Prinae Minister. One day, as Noailles, in the
capacity ot simple courtier, waa escoiting the
King on his wayio the Council, his Majesty
said, " Come in. Marshal, we are going to hold
a council; " and he pointed to a place on his
left, while Cardinal Tencm occupied a place at
the right. The new Minister was not liked by*
the Secretaries of State, and soon had to go off
to the wars. That Louis cotdd be extremely
disagreeable on occasion may be seen
from his letter dismissing the Duke
of Choiseul, the ablest Minister of
his reign, and one who had served the
monarchy well for twelve years. It was
in these terms: "Cousin, the dissatisfaction
caused me by your services forces me to banish
you to Chanteloup, whither vou will repair
within twenty-four hours. 1 should have
sent you much lurther off, but for the
particular regard I have for Madame de
Choiseul, in whose health I feed great interest.
Take care your conduct does' not force me to
alter my mind. Whereupon I pray God, cousin,
to have j'ou m His holy and worthy keeping."
This wasin 1770, when the King was under
the pernicious influence of Madame du Barry.
The Minister retired, but tbe kind, of ovation he
received from many members of the Court was
a significant sign that personal sovereignty
was no longer what it had been in France — ab-
solute in authority and power. When Louis
finally quarreled with the magistracy, to act
upon his tears, Du Barry, who seems to Lave
thought that Parliaihent meant the same thing
in France as in £!ngland, had a portrait of
Charles 1. by Van Dyck hung in her apart-
■lent. Calling the King with vulgar familiari-
ty by tbe name ot hta dominions, " France,
France'," she would often gay, "Thy Parlia-
ment will cut off thy head too."— TAe Spectator,

An Antiquary in a Difficulty. — When
Dr. Buckland was Dean of Westminster, the
lately deceased Dr. Rimbault applied to him
for permission to make extracts from the regis-
ters of the Abbey, in order to asoertain the
dates of admission, and of the decease, of some
ot the eminent men who had been on the estab-
lishment at Westminster. The difiieulty which
presented itself to the Dean's mind was, that it
would be too great a tax upon his own time to
wait while the extracts were mado. and that he
could not give up the keys of tbe Munimont-
room to any person. Still he desired to oblige
in all cases ot literary research, and, therefore,
offered to take Dr. Rimbault into the room, and
to leave him there, to be let out at any ap-
pointed time. The proposal was partioulari'y
agreeable to Dr. Rimbault, as he could then
work without interruption. Thinking that
about three hours would 8affi.ee, and aa he dined
at an early hour, he apneinted one o'clock.''
The Dean was not punctual, and tbe Doctor
worked oa. At three o'clock the latter felt the
want ot his dinner, his extracts were finished,
and he wished only to be gone. "What could
have detained the Dean ?" But no step was to
be heard. The evening service soon began,
and at length the last peal of the organ bad.
faded away, and all waa quiet. It tken be-
came evident, that Dr. Rimbault wasforgotten;
and how long was this to last { Before day-
light had quite passed away, he bad surve.yed
his position, and loimd that he was in a trap
irom which it was impossible lo extricate hius-
self. Me could neither Roale the -window uor
make himself heard. He was quite at the
mercy of the Ijean's memory ; for he Lad
not told any one where he was going, be-
eausH he oxpocted to return home within
a tew hours. "Would bis disappearance be
advertised, and M'ould the Dean see it, aud
■when?" Dr. Riinbault had none of the bodily
fatiwhich is said to support lite under long pe-
rioo* of fasting, and the last was, therefore, au
important questiou with him. " VVhen would
the Muniment-room be next visited \" That
was indeed a remote contingency ; so that, like
Ginevra in the chest which had closed over her
with a spring lock, nothing but his skeleton
might theu be found. From these unoomtmrta-
araJLJjia TflflaatiiMis JMr. Rimbaui.t_wajk^raiaaaadlataJLl$red thoflo.whom she loved most dcaELy_to ba.
at night. He had drawn together some parch-
ments to recline upon, but not to sleep, when
at last a key was heard in the door. The good
Dean had gone home to dinner, and kai taken
bis siesta; aft«r which be commenced ruminat-
ing over the events of tbe day, and then at last
thought of his prisoner. He returned to the
Abbey at some inooavenience, and set him
free with many apologies. Dr. Rimbault's
ardor to be shut upin a Muniment-room had
then quite cooled. — The AtkencBum,
How Ostrich Feathers ark Obtained.
— Nor does the procuring of the feathers in-
volve any of the hardships and exertions which
we attach from habit to the idea of ostrich
catching. Formerly, no doubt, the pursuit was
more toilsome than almost any other known to
man, the ostrich, wnen thoroughly frightened,
and on his native plains, being entirely beyond
capture, except by the process of riding him
down by relays, sometimes after a protracted
hunt. It is probably not true that he can run
faster than Eclipse or Childers— though tbe an-
cients, yfiio never possessed, it we may judge
from their sculptures, any horse fit tor an Eng-
lish race, thought the ostrich the fleetest of
living creatures — but undoubtedlv it can beat
very good horses. Dr. Livingstone ■ says :
" The ostrich when feeding has a pace of from
twenty to twenty-two inches; when walking
at other times, about four inches more. In
general, the eye cannot follow its legs. I waa
once able to count the steps by a stop-watch,
and if I am n«t mistaken, the bird made thirty
strides in ten seconds. Reckoning each stride at
twelve feet, we have a speed of about twenty-
six miles per Lour." Mr. Henry de Moscnthal
says : "An ostrich m motion does n»t rise upon
the wmg; he skims, as it were, along the sur-
face of tbe ground, and if he meets with an
obstacle, such as a fence, be will skirt along it,
but never attempt to cross it, although he will
cross a creek, the two banks ot which are
nearly on a level With each other, by flying.
The pace of au ostrich in full speed, going be-
fore the wind, with his fathers standing erect,
is killing; and I never saw the horse • the rider
ot which could with truth say that ixe ran his
game down fairly." At present, however,
the ostrich has been partially domesticated,
and in 1875 a careful census showed that there
were no less than 32,247 domesticated ostriches
within (Jape Colony alone. The bird ap-
pears to need no artificial food If he has
plenty of good grass, but if the grass is sour he
wants crushed bones, atfd good termers improve
hie condition with allowances of " mealies,"
or Indian com. He would, however, in suita-
ble localities, yield very large profit, except for
one cu'cuBustance — ^the great amount ot room
that he requiies. Sixty acres a bird is a very
large allowance, even for profitable stock.
According to the statements published
by Messrs. Harting and Mosenthal, it
takes 600 acres to feed eighty birda comforta-
bly; and those acres, even if practically
valueless, must be fenced in with wire, at a
cost of some £500; The bird cannot jump, and
makes no effort to cross the fencing, but it
seems eertaiu that ho will not bear confine-
ment oloso enough to prevent his enjoying a
healthy amount of his customary exercise. Of
course, while feathers yielded from £20 to £40
a pound, the profits were enormous; but in the
present day. when the average value, accord-
ing to oflicial returns, is' £5 Ss. per pound, the
farmer must cont«nt himself, even though he
grows ostriches, with moderate returns in
cash. He can get a pound of feathers a year
from each bird, and by tbe latest sta-
tistics, is pretty sure of £5 a pound all
round ; but £400 a year, though a good
yieldin such a leeality from 600 acres, is not
enough to make diamond hunters quit their
avocations. Still, as the land is usually.
fenced off from a farm too large to be culti-
vated, aud lood costs little, and the nrotit is
received in cash, the i earing of ostiriohes may
be considered a fairly-established and very cu-
rious industry. There is, it appears, no neces-
sity for criielty in the plucking, the best pro-
cess being to obtain the feathers by cutting
them with a knife. The bird then appears
quite uneanscious that he has lost any-
thing, and the stumps afterward either
drop out, a new feather growing to its
full size in from six to eight months,
or it can be rid of them without annoyance.
Plucking, however, still continues on many
farms, and is not without its diffioulties^ as the
bird writhes its loug neck in a way that inflicts
severe bruises, and can. if it gets a chance,
trom the operator standing oji level ground,
give a most savage and dangerous kick. He is
a tractable fellow, however, does not peck,
and is hideously afraid of a little dog. Like
every other created thmg, too, he appears to
have somewhere or other in hirf minute brain a
latent sense ot humor. At least it is very diffi-
cult otherwise to account for the habit ot danc-
ing attriliutnd to him by observers, on
grounds which, according to Mr. Hellier, of
Graham's Town, are aoaply sufficient. This
gentleman thus describes a scene he witnessed
in an ostrich inclosure belonging to Mr.
Douglas, of Hilton, a farm about twelve miles
from Graham's Town : " Out ot the inclosure
given up to the exclusive use of this polygamous
family ot three, we entered throus;h a locked
gate into a large inclosure or paddock, in which
were fifty-eight one aud two-year old birds.
They all looked exceedingly well,
and though thoy did not dance,
they see^med full of life. They do
sometimes favor the spectators with a dance,
and it is one of the funniest of all the freaks or
habits of animals that eyidence a sense of the
jokeful we ever beheld. We onco saw some
twenty nearly full-grown birds waltzing to-
gether. They began with a sort of sidling,
slow revolution on their toes, moving their
wings gently up and down, and presently they
seemed to get into the spirit of the thing with-
out the aid of any fiddler that we saw, and
spun round at a rate that would have astonish-
ed any one but a dancing dervish. In dancing,
they swept round and roimd, without
ever coming in contact with each
other." It is pretty clear that the
ostrich could not be bred to a profit in
Europe, as tbe grazing-groimd which the bird
requires would coat too much ; but if any read-
er 18 tempted to try the experiment in any of
the Southern Colonies, he cannot do better
than study Messrs. Harting and Mosenthal's
accounts, with the rider that they seem inclined
to believe rather more in the pecuniary profit
than we can do, aud that they do not offer any
evidence on one doubt of rather an important
kind. Will the ostrich keoji his best featheia
in a state of partial domestication? He has
done so hitherto, but ostrich-farming is as yet
a novel indU8try,about which experience, though
it is accumulating, is still exceedingly bmited.

'Chablotte Bronte as a Woman.—
Charlotte Bronte was not naturally a morbid
person ; in youth she was happ.y and high-
spirited ; and up to the last moment of her life
she had a serene strength and cheerfulness
which seldom deserted her, except when acute
physioical suffering was added to her mental
pangs. If her mind could have been freed
from • the depressing influences exerted on
it by her frail and suffering body,
it would have been one of the
healthiest and most equablG minds of
our age. As it was, it showed itself able to meet
the rude buffetinga of fate without shrinking
aud without bravado ; and the woman who is
to thiis day regarded by the world at large as a
marvel of self-conscious genius and of un-
checked morbidness was able to her dying
hour to take the keenest, liveliest interest in
the weltare of her iriends, to pour out all her
sympathy wherever she believod that it was
needed and deserved, aud to lighten the grim
parsonage at Haworth by a preaeuee which,
111 the saered recessbs ot her home,
was bright and cheerful, as well as steadlast
aud calm. "Do not underrate hor oddity,"
said a gilted friend who knew her during her
heyday of lame, while these pages were being
written. Her oddity, it must be owned, was
extreme — so far as the world could judge.
But f have striven to show how much this ec-
centricity was outward aud superficial only,
due in part to the peculiar conditions ot her
earlier lire, but chiefly to the excessive shyness
In the presence of strangers which she snared
with her sisters. At heart, as some of
these lettars will show, she was ono of the
truest women who ever breathed ; and her
own heart was by no means so exceptional, so
tar removed Irom the heart history of most
■women, aa tbe ])-ublio believes. The key to her
character was simple aud unflinching devotion
to duty. Once she failed — or, rather, onco she
allowed inclination to blind her as to the true
dirootiou of the path ot duty — and that single
failure colored tue whole ot her subsequent
life. But her own condemn.i.tion of herself
w^aa more sharp ana bitter than any
which could have been passed upon her
by the world, and from that one ve-
nial error she drew lessons which enabled
her henceforward to live with a steady, con-
stant power of self-sacrifice at ber command
such as distinguishes saiats and heroes rather
than ordinary men and women^ Hot, imput-
sivoy and tenacious iu her offectionBi she saf-
torn from her without losing faith in herself or
in her God; tenderly sensitive as to the treat-
ment which her friends received, she repaid the
cruelty and injustice of her lather toward the
man whose heart she had Won by a depth
of devotion and self-sacrifice which
can only be fully estimated by
those who know under what bitter
conditions it was lavished upon an unworthy
parent ; bound, as all the children of genius
are. by the spell of her own imagination, she
was yet able during the closing months of her
life to lay aside her pen and give herself up
wholly, at the desire of her husband, to those
parish duties which had such slight attractions
for her. Thofe who. knowing these facts, still
venture to assert that the virtues \fhich distin-
guished Currer Bell, the author, were lacking in

The Perils ofLundon Theatres. — It is
an incontrovertible fact that no one nowadays
goes to a theatre without putting his life in peril.
If theatres are built within a nest of old houses,
thickly inhabited by difi'erent poor, and not too
heedful families, to the constant risk of fire
within a theatre is added that of an eutbreak
of fire in any of the surrounding houses. If
the entrance to a theatre is between two dwell-
ings where things of a peculiarly inflammable
nature are sold, think twice before you enter.
If you must pass by a subway uuder a street
or two, in order to obtaiu entrance into the
salle, it were wise not to enter at all, unless
your life is imsured, and you was comfortably
mdiiferent about the matter. Then, as to the in-
terior, little explosions of gas are not uncommon
inspite of a^l the car« taken; they excite corre-
sponding alarm, the.y are not recorded, and
they are soon forgotten. Sucn au cxjilosion,
like the report of a gunshot, occurred m a
London theatre on the "tli inst. J^othing
worse came of it than a little irigbt, and many
did not understand the meaning of the report.
But it might have been worse; and we will
just remarK that if the pit of any of our thea-
tres is seated over the ga.someter, we would
sooner be up in a balloon, to which we have the
greatest objection, than expose ourselves to be
hoisted as high as balloons go by a blow-up of
that reservoir of destruction ; and, further,
if a soiell ot amttkiusi strike your ofl'ended
sense in the stalls, and your friend,
who knows the ways of the bouse, informs
you that iSlr. Mout'ier's dressing-room is just
be;ow^ you, that lie always smokes when he is
off the sracce, and that his room is snugly cov-
ered with cocoa-nut matting — in such ease you
should Bolitely ask the manager to remove the
matting and the oleud-compeiiing actor ; that
would be the least he could do. Managers gen-
erally do as little as nossible for the comlort of
audiences. Comfort comprises safety ; there
is no comfort in being jammed together m
places ot torture rather than of entertainment,
and with the thought of tortuous, narrow,
iaaze-like aUejs to get at stalls, which alieys,-
jn caaa of a^nauiu amLstamuede. urouldDresent
a scene of horror sickening* even to oontera*
plate. It is a matter for Lord Chamberlains to
deal with, and that not over-useful oflicer
should be allowed no peace till something eflfeo-
tual has been done for the publio safety.— 2'Ae

Changing the Form of Religion.— So
prodigious a revolvtion does the changing the
whole form and feature of religion turnout to
be, that it unsettles all other things too, and
brings back chaos; and when it happens, the
civilization and the society to which it happens
are disintegrated, and men have to begin agam.
This is what took place when Christianity su-
perseded the old religion of the Pagan world.
People may say that there is a fund of ideas
common to all religions, at least to all religloBS
of superior and civilized races, and that the
personages and precepts, the form and feature,
ef one such religion may be exchanged for
those ot ano:her, or for those of some new re-
ligion devised by an enlightened eclecticism,
and that the world may go on all the while
without muoh disturbance. There were philo-
sophers who thought so when Paganism was
^oing out and Christianity coming in. But
they were wrong. The whole civilization of
the Eoman world was disintegrated by the
change, and men had to begin again. So im-
mense is the sentiment created by the things to
which we have been used in religion, so pro-
found is the wrench at parting with them, so
incalculable is the trouble and distraction
caused by it. Now, we can hardly
conceive modern civilization breaking up
as the Soman did, and men beginning
again as they did in the fifth century. But the
improbability of this implies the improba-
bility of_ our seeing all the form and feature
of Christianitv disappear, of tbe religion
of Christendom. For So vast a revolution
would this be, that it would involve the other.
Thesa considerations are of force, I think, in
regard to all radical change in the language of
the Prayer-book. It has created sentiments
deeper than we can see and measure. Our feel-
ing does not connect itself with any language
about riahteouaness and religion, but vnih that
language. Very much of it we can all use in
its literal acceptation. But the question is
as to those parts which we cannot.
Of course, those who will still take them liter-
ally wdl use them. But for us also, who no
longer put the literal meaning on them wbich
others do, and which we ourselves once did,
they retain a poWer, and sometliing in us vi-
brates to them. And not unjustly. For these
old forms of expression were men's sincere at-
tempt to set forth with due honor what we
honor also, and the sense of the attempt gives
a beauty and an emotion to the words and
makes them poetry. 'Ihe Creeds are in this
way an attempt to exalt to the utmost, by as-
signing to him all the characters which
to mankind saemed' to confer exalta-
tion, Jesus Christ, I have called the
Apostles' Creed the popular science of Chris-
tianity, and the N cene Creed its learned
science ; and in one view ot them they are so.
But in another and a better view of them they
are, tbe one its popular poetry, tbe other its
learned or — to borrow the word which Schopen-
hauer applied to Hegel's philosophy — its scho-
lastic poetry. The one exalts Jesus by concrete
images, the other by an imaginative play of
abstract ideas. They are the august amplifi-
cations and high elucidations, which came
naturally to the human spirit working in love
and awe upon this inexhaustible theme of pro-
lound tiuth: salvation through Jesus Christ.
As such they are poetry for us, and poetry con-
secrated, moreover, b.y having been on the
tongue of all our forefathers for two thousand
years, and on our own ever since we were born.
As such, then, we can feel them, oven when we
DO longer take them literally ; while, as ap-
proximations to a profound truth, we can use
them We cannot call them science, as the
Articles would have us, but we can
still teel them aud still use them.
And if we can do this with the creeds,
stiii m*ro can we do it with the rest of the sei-
vices in the Prayer-book. As to tbe very and
true foundations of the Christian religion — the
belief that salvation' is by righteousness, and
that righteousness is by Jesua Christ— we are,
in tact, at one with the religious world in gen-
eral. As to the true object of the Church, that
it ia the proiflotion of goodness, we are
at one with them also. And as to the
form and wording of religion, a form
and •wording consecrated by so many
years and memories, we need nob break with
them either. They and we can remain in sym-
pathy. Some changes will no doubt befall the
Prayer-book services as time goes on. Certain
things will drop away, other things will re-
place them. But such change will happen, not
m a sweeping way; it will oome very gradual-
ly, and by tbe general wish. It will be brought
about, not by a spirit of scrupulosity, innova-
tion, and negation, but by a prevalent impulse
to express in our Church services somewhat
which is not suifieiently expressed there al-
ready.— Matlhetv Arfiold, in the Contemporary
Jieview.
The Taking of Food by Fish. — When
a fish snaps up an object it first opens its mouth
and closes its gill flaps ; and opens the gills
when it closes the mouth. When it wishes to
reject a disagreeable morsel, on the other hand,
it first, with closed mouth, opens the gill slits,
and enlarges the mouth-cavity, then shuts the
gill slits and simultaneously opens the mouth.
By narrowing the mouth-cavity throughout its
length, it now forees out the contents ; and in
doing 60, it ia driven a little backward by the
reaction, like a cannon when it ia tired. If we
think of it a little more closely, we shall
see that, yyithout the gill slits, the fish could not
snap up any object, and ao could not eat, be-
cause the morsel, if it got into the mouth-cavi-
ity, would, on closing the mouth, be ejected.
The reason is simply this: On opening, the
mouth-cavity fills >yith water after the manner
of a pump, and tbe mersel is taken in through
suction of the portion of water in which it
floats. It can now be held fast in the mouth
only if the water finds a mode of exit so narrow
that the morsel cannot escape along with it.
For this the mouth slit is nowise fitted, for if it
be closed, so that a small naorsol can-
not escape by it, it affords no easy outfio w
for the water' But the want is fully met by
its gill apparatus, which presents a double row
of long narrow slits, each of which is generally
a good deal longer that the mouth slit, so that
the water can readily flow away without the
morsel being carried ofl' along with it. But,
again, if a fish were obliged to eject ,by Its
mouth the water it had taken up, it would
be driven backward at each bite, and
have to expend force wastefully in re-
covering its ground by swimming, which
would be specially disadvantageous in
flowing water. On the contrary, however, as
the water flows out backwards through the gill
slits, the fish receives each time an impulse
which iliives it forward, and the maintenance
of ifs position in rapid water is thus rendered
more easy. From these considerations it be-
comes possible to explain a number of the ar-
rangements found in aquatio aaimala, as com-
pared with those that live in air. Still regard-
ing the finny tribes, we find remarkably large
gill slits in fishes of prey; and any one
who haa watched a pike or a trout m pursuit of
its Drey, will have noticed how widely it has
stretched its gill slits, so as to let the water
flow oft" as freely as possible on all sides. If
this were at any moment to accumulate in the
mouth-cavity, the fish's motion would be seri-
ously compromised. It may with certainty be
said that all lishos with remarkably wide gill
slits hunt their prey in long pursuit. Thus,
among our tresh-water predaceous fishes, the
IJike makes the longest pursuit and haa the wid-
est gills. As a contrast we might take the
gently leeding and nibbling plant-fishes, such as
barbel, carp, &o., which have narrow gill slits.
A similar diflerence is associated with the
streaming ot water. As fish always snap with
its mouth against the current, it receives more
water into the mouth the more rapid the cur-
rent ; and, therefore river-fishes have, in gene-
ral, larger gill slits than fishes which live in
Stillwater. Thus too may be explained the
remarkable correlation between the width of
the mouth slit and that of the gill slits, iuas-
muoa as narrow-mouthed fishes have narrow
gill slits, and wide-mouthed fishes wide gill
slits. — Chambera's Journal.
Napoleonic Satings. — Most of the say-
ings which pass for Napoleonic did really pro-
ceed from Napoleon, and are to be found iu his
corresoondence or in authentic records of his
speeches and conversations. But " Qrattez

said by the I'rhice de Ligne ; aud when Napo-
Icon called England "La nation boutiquihre" he

Francis, w^ho, in tbe debate on the armament
against Russia, denounced his countrymen as
" a nation ot stockjobbers." " llfaut later son

which he had set his heart. The gods
shaped his ends to entirely contrary
courses t« those which he had rotu;h-hewn for

was to be spent in little else. He preferred
the learned leisure of a literary and artistic
career, and he wal condemned t» the rash of
London society as part of the duties oi
his position, fle had tender affection for
his •wn country, yet during his life-
time he was almost singularly without
influence in Germany, exoept^ through the per-
sonal friendship of tbe King, while he caused
Prussia to be respected among nations in a
manner which none of her internal arrange-
ments before Sadowa and Sedan could have ef-
fected. He was not a great diploihatlsti yet no
Ambassador ever took such a position before in
England. He was anything but a great writer,
vet he bad more influence on bis generation
than many who were both, by sjbeer force of
straightforward honesty in thought and action,
true love of God and man, and sympathy with
what was highest in thought, and feeliag
wherever he went. It is to the honor of
the world that he should have been so sucoess-
ful, for he had none of the adjuncts which gen-
erally raise men to fortune— nothing but excel-
lence, talent, aiid enoirmous indtistry. He be-
longed, and prided himselt on the fact, " to the
kernel of the German nation, the caltirated and
cultivating class of society," and tbe record of
the self-denial exercised by him and his parents
in their poverty/ and the sacrifices required to
obtain the education which waa like bread and
meat to him, are exceedingly touching. At
length, however, he obtained work at
the Gottingen University, which enabled
him to live independently -while he
pursued his own studies without interruption.
The "statement of bis plan of intellectual
work," laid before Niebuhr wheii he was only
twenty-four, takes one's breath away by ita ex-
tent and the enormoils labor Which it contem-
plated as possible. He "determines to oom-
loine three forms of contemplation, in order to
interpret tbe problems of human knowledge,
i. e., philoloey, to arrange and trear historical
facts ; history, to disoovisr their connection
from their earliest development ; and philoso-
phy, to establish the principles by which
philogy and history Investigate facts and laws
of develo)}menti and niiadiat^ betweto fact and
ideal conception^" whatever this last may-
mean. He wishes to " acquire the whole treas-
ure of langua°;e in order to | complete his fayor-
ite linguistic theories," to snow the historical
connection of German and Scandinavian
heathenism with the East ("a study especially
interesting a!s showing the history of nations,' )
and desires "to bring the language and spirit
of the solemn East into coinmimioh -with the
European mind." To accomplish this gigantic
plan he went to Paris to study jPersian, intend-
ing to follow it up with Sanskrit ; while ii^ or-
der to acquire the more modern languages df
India, he proposed to spend three years at
Calcutta, The material part of his seaeme he
hoped to carry out by joining an " Oriental
journey of linguistic research," which ho
trusted, under the auspices of Niebuhr, would
be sent out by the Prussian Government.
Meantime he earned money to support
himself by teaching; undertook to aooon-
paiiy a yotmg Aiierican on his travels,
and even went aa tar as Florence
with a young Englishman ; but both plans
dropped through, and at length he set forth on
his own resources to meet Niebuhr, the Ambas-
sador at Rome, and his old friend Brandis, Sec-
retary vf Legation, through whom he hoped to
obtain some opening for work. His eiyoyment
ot the new lite is delightful even to read of.
The art, tne antiquities, the climate, the ex-
quisite beauty, the leisure for study, Ifor teach-
ing evidently bored him infiniteiy,) the con-
genial society, all filled him with rapture.
" There is but one Bonae and one Niebuhr,"
says he. He plunges into a whole polyglot of
reading: Plato, Firduei, the Koran, Dante,
Isaiah, the £ddas, all in their own tongues.
A different influence, however, was at
hand, mare charming than Firdusi,
mure interesting even than tke
Eddas. He falls in with an English family
with three daughters; and very soon declares
how he had " always thought that his old love,
his plan of study and travel, would have pro-
vented the devoting of his whole heart and be-
ing to another and faumau bride." Woman,
however, was stronger than learning, and car-
ried the day. The courtship was short, but
they had ample means of becoming acquainted
with each other's characters and tastes, in the
easy, pleasant interuourse of Rome, and during
their visits to all the great .objects of interest,
whete the learned young German was an inval-
uable companion. The natural objections
against a marriage where the bridegroom
was absolutely penniless were great, but
Niebuhr promised his assistance, and declared
that Bunaen was certain to suooeed in Ufe ; and
the young coupie were married in June, 1817.
In Rome they passed the next twenty-two
years — a delightlul lite, combmiog more ele-
ments of a rational and useiut career with the
satisfaction ol both their tastes, for art and
beauty and knowledge, than often falls to the
lot of men. In this prosaic world, however,
food and clothing must somehow be supplied,
and, in spite of his extreme reluctance, he was
gradually drawn by this neeessity^ into the
diplomatic career. — GonUmporary Review.
Swimming. — In the essential part of
Bwimming, that is, the art of keeping the head
above water, there is really no skill required ;
confidence in tbe sustaining power of the water
IS the only secret ; and if the no-doe will only
dare to trust the water, and remember three
simple rules, be cannot possibly sink : 1. On
entering the water and attempting to swim,
keep the hands and feet well below the
surlace, and immerse the whole body up
to the chin. In France the teacher
usually stands upon a platform which
overhangs the water, and upholds the pupil
by means of a rope which is faatened to a belj^
round the waist. Aa the rope passes over the
end of a slight but tough pole, the teacher looks
very much as if he were fishing for sharks with
a human live-bait. Any mode ot supportimg
the body -will do excepting corks or bladders,
which are a delusion and a snare, and raise the
body unnaturally and too far out of water.

is, however, and so it has been tor agea,
and the only wonder is that tba
practice of domesticating the bird, now
becoming a recognized industry, should not
have been commenced ages ago. But tbe de-
mand for ostrich feathers has lasted through
ages, and, though prices vary excessively from
time to time, feathers now exported tram the

times after a protracted hunt It is probably not
true that he oan run faster than Eclipse
or Childers, though the ancients, who nevoE
possessed, if we may judge from their sculp-
tures, any horse fit for an English race, thought
the ostrich the fleetest of living creatures, but
undoubtedly it can beat very good horses. Dr.
Livingstone says: "The ostrich whea
feeding has a pace of from twenty to
twenty-two inches ; when wallung aX
other times, about four inches moTe. In
general, the eye cannot follow its legs. - I wa«
once able to count tbe steps by a stop -watch,
and if I am not mistaken, tbe bird made thirty
strides in ten seconds. Reckoning ea«h stride
at twelve feet, we have a speed of about
Hwenty-six miles per hour." Mr. Henry da
Uoseuthal says : " An ostrich in motion doea
not rise upon the -wing; be skims, «■
it -vyere,- along the sorfaee of tht
groimd, and if he meets with au obstacle, saeb
as a fence, he will skirt along it, bat never at-
tempt to cross it, although be will cross a
creek, the . two banks of which are nearly oa
a level with each other, by flying. The pace oi
an ostrich in Itdl speed, going before the wind,
with his featkers stahding erect, is kilLng, and
I never saw the h*rse the rider of which ooold
-with irdtfa say that be ran hia game down
fairly." At present, liowever, tb§ ostrich has
been partially domesticated, and in 1S75 a
careful census showed that there were no laaa
than 32,247 domesticated ostriches withm Cape
Colony alone. The bird aopeai^ to need n«
artificial food if he has plenty ot good grass,
but if the grass is sour he wants crushed bone% -
and good farmers improve his condition with
allowances of "mealies," or Jndian oorsu .
He would, however, in smiable loo^i
ities, yield very large profit. exoep<

ACeordmg to tbe statements published fa^
Messrs. Harting & Mosenthal, it . takes 6w
acres to feed 80 birds comfortably ; and those
acres, even if practically valueless, must be
fenced in -with ynre, at a cost ot some £500l
Ttib bird cannot jump, and makes no effort te
cross the fencing, but it seems certain that he
-will not bear confinement close enough to pre-
vent his enjoying a heal thy amount of his ooa-
tomary exercise, t Of course, while fealbeai
3^elded &«m £20 to £40 a pound, the profits were
enormous ; but in the present day, wked the
average value, according to official returns, ia
£5 5a. per pound, the farmer must con<
tant himself, e-ven tbough be gcotct
ostriches, with moderate returns in cash. Ma
oan get a p.>und of leathers a year from eaeh
bird, and by the latest statistics is pretty sure
of £5 a pound all around ; but £-100 a year,
though a good yield in such a iocaiity from
60U acres, is not enough to make diamond-
hunters quit their avocations. Still, as toe
land is usually fenced off irom a farm coo large
to be cultivated, and lood costs little, and tha
profit is received in cash, the rearing oi
ostriches may be considered a fairly-estab*
liahed and very curious industry. — Spectator.

so that no water can enter. 3. Move the hmbs
quietly. A jerky, fussy swimmer is never a
good one; and wtfile he continues these habits
will never acoomolish any long distance or
achieve any elegance in swimating. A slow
stroke is the very essence of good swimming,
and when endurance, not speed, is requisite, is
the most valuable. There is nothmg like
the slow style for learning to swim ; you
inay gratt upon it all sorts of nata-
tory accomplishments; but in time of danger
the slow stroke is your sheet-anchor. Two
novices who are wishing to learn to swim may,
with a few practical directions, be very useliii
to each other. Ol course, the sea is tbe easi-
est medium lor a beginner, on account of its
being of a more buoj^aat nature thanjfresh wa-
ter ; but if you are not by the sea, why, you
must go into a shallow river or lake instead.
Walk in together until you are breast-deep ;
then let one spread himself upon the water,

keraldsof the closing season bad a stnisgle with

awoke in tbe morning to the moaio of the pattering
4xopa on oar tents.
We had recently oconpied two stranjce pronKed
bMaltio pekkii called the Twins, «nd oar next point
mt to be Devil's Peak, Knotbn apheaval tn the
same basaltic ehain. So Lieut. Macomb and Mr.
'Carpenter, upon whose shoulders falls all . tne pres-
Mre of responsibility for tooogrAptaioal work, deci-
ded to remove camp to a situation nearer the peak.
Where we would be ready for an ascent as soon as
the weather cleared. We aeeordinzly went down
the Tmokee River, whioh Is tbe outlet of Lake Ta-
kosk and five miles below Taboe City we turned off
to the right into tne Squaw VaUey, a space of open
Bteadow «nvin>nei by mountains. Here again, as

Imaclnative and prosaic member of our party was
•Draptured by the brilliant oolors of the rooks and

Balf-way up tbe valley la a cattle ranob, the
ooenpants of whi«h were making harried prepara*
ticne for a retreat into milder Winter quarters. Por
'weeks before most of the people around the lake
had been otoaing up their establishments, and those
who remained were trouUed to death lest the first
Itea^j anow-fall should ostob tbeialn the mountains.
JLaire passed the Sqiuw Yalley ranoh aU the men
irereAWay driving in their ::catt]eh and the next
aaondngthey went oat toward Sacramento. The
eotd waa bi^r, and we pitched our tents and made
oar beds tn tbe ram, which continued to faU with
oefiMiooal intermiaaloss; and while the rain flaoded
tfee TBiley, tbe snow fell on the high lands. Tbe oat-
look fur top >gripay was not enoonraging. Tbe next
dav brunaht oo ehaoga, and we buddled np to tbe
^ra, snffdring Indesonbable torment from the smoke
for tbe aakecf a little warmth. All the beaniifal
ookmi of Che lauontains were enshrouded In a film
«f gray, and the broken outlines of tbe peaks were
lost la the same weight of mist. All we
ooold aotp while away tbe tedions hours was first
to tbsw ourselves liefore the Are ; then to retire
Wittaia our tents and read or W^te until we froze
BgKiD, eoflolajcand going constantly but never stay-
fam away from the smotdng pine wood long. When
We awoke on Saturday, Ojt. 33, the snow was piled
«9 ag^nst onr tents, spread over the groand to a
deptb of six iDchea, and so closely matted on the
trees that they looked like clroalat tsnts floating
In tbe air. Still it came, and continaed to come,
tn Una bliading particles that, packed themselves
elosely on the ground. At noon a messenger was
■ent to see if room could be made for as in the
ranch below. H» foaad tbe doors and windows
boarded up and tbe ocoapants goneb Bat it woald
have been folly in as to stand upon oeremonv,
Rod tnsting that the largeness of Cali-
tomia generosity would have made as wel-
eome had the proprietor been on ban J,
We forced an entrance into tbe house, put our coots
la the kite&en, and made ourselves entirely at
koose. The storm did not abate the next day. Tbe
tofinlteklmal graina of white pelted out of the
doods incessantly ana lodged everywhere, roblug
the Sierras and all tbines in an immaculate sUr-
pliee. Yea remember the opening chapter in Oo-
ArM Oonro^^ and its poetical description of the
Ibonntalns in a 8]row<storm. I ean answer for the
crapble realism of that picture, which exagger-
ates aelthar the fatal beauty nor the blindfng den-
sity of sneb a storm. The pines and flis, tb at are
iaopar.tanically straight and gloomy in the calm,
seemed to have borst into lily-wbite blossom, and
tbe mountains, where the bare outlines had least
■vmmetry, proved to have seeded but the coating
•f snow to round them mto perfection. On tbe
jtbird morning the sky was clear and bine, with fil-
'laments of wliite, silverv oloua floating across
tit; and the whole earth was radiant with
the strong and datsliog light, which shVd
prismatic colors on tbe frosted flakes and made
Bm dps of the mountains shine with painfai
Intensity. Tbe prospects of attaining Devil's Peak
were not brlHlant, however, and it was with little
hope of success that Li^ut. Macomb and Mr. Car-
JpcBtor made the attempts The snow bad drifted in
tbe valley to a depth of three feet, and as tbe
jLlentenant and the Topographer ascended a narrow
j«aflon into which tbe valley led. they had the.exoit-
inc but not agreeable experience of fluundeiiag in
jflelda which almost buried tbem and their mnles.
tMoreovef, when they at last gained a summit from
/wnieh the Peak Was visible in a abroad, it became
levldent from tbe quantity of snow lying In the rough
^volcanic coantry below, that they could not safely
igf any further, and that for tbe present, at leaSft,
i^e point sought must be abandoned.

The rtav on which we entero-l it was raw and over-

The town itself, however, was knee-deep in black,

sheds are <f two kinds, thf fl^t. roof built 'o hold

cost of their constrnctijn per mile varied from

where it was necessary to build heavy retcUniug
walls the cost increaeed'td f30,0US per mile. Some-
times th^eavy sqaare timbers are bolced to solid
rock. Baring the Stimmer months great loss is
caused among the sheds by fire, despite the pre-

The Board of Education of Jersey City held
an excited session, on Friday night, to fix the sala-
ries of tbe teachers and other employes of tbe
board. Last year the expenditares amounted to
$204,000. The Board ot Finance, who are invested
wich the power ander the law of fixing tbe appro-
priations, cut down the allowance of the board for
the fiscal year commencln;; Dec. 1. to $139,000.
At a meeting of the board, on Monday evening, the
Committee on Teachers and Salaries reported some
reductions in the pay of the employes, which would
haye made necessary the expenditure of $195,000
dnrlug the ensuing year. Tbe salaries of Princi-
pals were reduced, and distinctions were made in
favor of those Principals presiding over schools
with tbe largest registered attendance. Those in
schools With an average attendance ef over 800
were allowed $2,200. The pay of Pnnoipals
with smaller registered attendance was fixed
at t2,000. Cbat of Principals of departments
with an average attendance of five hundred and
over, was fixed at $1,150, and all others at $1,080.

The men recently engaged in the mock auc-
tion horse sales, whioh were exposed in The TImbs
and broken up, ore unwilling to abandon the profit-
able business, and during the past week two efforts
were made to hold sales, one in this City and one
in Brooklyn. Several of those whose sales were .
stopped by Capt. Walsh of the Ordinance Police,
have retained ooansel, with the intention, probably,
of contesting tbe right of tbe police to interfere, he
they claim they have a perfect right to sell a horse
uider any name or pedigree they choose to give it,
even if there be another with the same name, and
that there is no law relating to pedigrees or names.
This, however, does not alter tbeir case, for in all
their sales they have made some kind of falsa and
fraudulent representations *or statements Whioh
bring tbem tmder the Mock Auction act. Last
Thursday a new auctioneer made bis appearance in
tijis branch of swindling, being backed by Irving,
Burnham, and others. His name is Henry C.

ting geldings : Monarch, Sslianoe, Toung Wofal,
Confidence, Duke, and the mare Lady Lambert.
As usoal. pedigrees were attached to the names of
all the animals, and the notice wound np with the
name of John G. McMiirray, as assignee. This
man Gl-lover has lust received a license to act as
auctioneer from the Mayor, who must grant a license
if the person complies ^th the statute, as any cil-
zen can become an anotioneer, by giving bonds to
the amount ef $14,000. Glover's bond was filed on
the 16ih inst., exactly a week previous to this first
sale, his sureties being Warren D. Kluney. of TSo.
23 East Sixteenth street, and Michael Gogerty, of
No. 223 East Twenty-fourth street. When ques-
tioned In regard to his bnslness, &c., by the au-
thorities, he was very reticent, and merely answered
that he was an agent, and gave his place of bnslness
as iTo. 1SS7 West Twenty-eighth street. Snspicion
was ait once aroused that all was not right, and a
close iratch was kept npbii him by tbe officers.
Having no positive proof agaiiist him, his first sale
was allowed to take place, but it will probably be,
the last he will hold.
There were about forty persons congregated
about the stable No. 127 West Ttwenty-eighth
street^ wnen the sale coinmenced. Among the
number were " Jim " Irving, Wm^ Borst, and tbe
ex-Mock Anptlon King, Zeno Burnham. They
were greatly aurprised to see Captain Walsh, of
the Ordinance Police, make his appearance and
were confused when tbe Captain went up to Glover
and questioned him as to who were tbe assignors.
In an evasive tone the auctioneer replied : " I don't
know; John G. MoMurray Is the assignee."
A small, red-bearded man stepped forward
at the beck ot Irving, and with trembling voice
said that he was the assignee. Captain Walsh then
asked bim wbo was tbe assignor, and after a slight
hesitation he pointed at the notorious "Jim" Irving
as too owner ot the property. "Are you selling the
property in total ignorance as to the character ot
the sale as advertised?" asked the Cap-
taiii, and Glover replied, "I am here to
sell horses, and that's all E know about it."
Cainain Walsh again asked him the same
question in a different form, and received a i^imilur
answer. I'rora MoMurray Captain Walsh also ou-
tamed the information tbat there were no credito.s
tb sitisf^ exojpt Irving, and that he was not ap-
pointed assignee by any court. The gang expected
that Captain Walsn would break no tue sale, and
were thoroughly puzzled and frightened at his ques-
tions, thinking, no doubt, that he was getting tes-
timony to send them to prison. The gray
geidiug Monarch was put up and ti i
In for $325, and the black gelding Reliance
was knotiitoJ down to "Jew Ibe," one of tbe Tweu-
ty-f jurth street gang- Theauctionet-r, GlOver, had
evideudy not read the Auction laws Careth ly or he
would have disooverel that be violated them on his
own admission that he was totally ignorant of the
character of the Sale, when he advertised that the
speed, pedigrees, and horses were warranted Just
as represented. Ii be was ignorant bow could
be give a warrantee. The mbre fact tbat he offoi ed
a warrantee is si-fficieut to show that ho auder-
atood the iutent of the sale. The Mock Auction
aci of 1871 distinctly says that any auctioneer in
the Ci.iea of New-York or Brooklyn who shall faere-
afcer make, or cause o be made, any false or frau-
dulent represnataiions/or statemeats in respect to
the character of such sale, or the ptily aaiboriziug

and on conviction shall fae punished by iniprison-

Some of the gang lately enga/ed in the mock
auotion borse sales in this city have tiai.slerred
their base of operations to Brooklyn. On Tuesday
last ahjexecuior'd sale was advertised to take place
at the "private" stable, No. 226 State strofet, be-
tween Boerum and Court streets, comprising ull the
vala<>ble hign-bred, tast-trocting, road, saddle and
family horses, together with the el.gaut carriages,
wagjus, harness, blankets, &e., tbe property oi the
late Hansen E. Mills, deoea.-<6d, all of which must
positively be sold without limit or restriotioh, tO
settle estate. Xbu name ot Martin B, Boice was
attached to the notice as auotioueer, George L.
Ward and C. J. Gardener as Executors, and Mrs.
Eiuily P. Mills as Executrix. High-soundiug
names, pedigrees, and record of pertormauues
were given, similar to those used by the uaug in
New-York, and the earmarks In the advertisement
were very plaiiL The stuck included the stylish and
handsome' bljck gelding Black Prince, tue very
last team bay geldiugs Henry and ma o, stylish and
fast brown mare Lady Weeks, handsome and
stylish sorrel borse Harry Lambert, very band-
some and fast chestnut mare Lady Taylor. The
pedigrees and speed were warranted according to
the notice uf .-^ale, bat, fts every one knows, a war-
rantee in a norse sale is worth very little. Investi-
gation proved that the horses belou'^iea to William
15. Nelson, tbe mock auctioneer of Xew York City,
wuose operatlous at No. 31 East Twelfth street aud
Nos. 11 aud 13 West Tweniy-sevenih street have
been (ally exposed in The Ximks, and that be en-
gaged Boioe, who is a lo;:HiimaLo and well-known
auctioneer, to sell tbe stock for him.
FRAUDULENT FtKNITUUE SALES BROKEN UP.
The vigorous prosecution of the mock-auction
furui ure saleo has led to the clusiug of the .two
mobt piomment places iu the basiuoss — Luke Pitz-
gerald's, ac No. 120 West Twenty-third street, and
Robert C. Cashin's, No. 47 West Sixteenth street.
Tne Mayor having'sustained Capt. Walsh, (ho lat-
ter conclnded to displace the oflioers ij plain
clothes who had been ai^teoding the sales by uni
formed men, and on Thuisday a poi'iceijian was sta-
te say to
every one entering the house that this was one ot
those "put up ' auction sales of household furni-
ture, aud was not as represented; and that
it was a house fitted up with faini-
tnre for daily sale. The officers did not
have an opp rtuniiy to warn any person, tor the
auctioneers, finding that the Police were deter-
mined ill tbe matter, took in tbeir flags and closed
the doors. They did n^t sell at auction on Friday
or Saturday, but the; still keep op their advertise-
mentaofclie private- sale of furniture, with which
there is no interierence. On Thura lay, PiizgeralJ
and Casbin again appeared oefoce Mayor Wick bam
and made a very strong complaint against Capt.
Walsh, but the Mayor would not give tbem any
saiisf ictioa, at the same Ume telling them that he
was determined to have all mock auctions sup-
pressed, and tb»t Capt. Walsh would be fully su*-
lained in his duty. Tbe auctioneers then leit,
threatening to go to Police Headquarters and enter
a complaint there against C»pt. v/alsh.
None of these auctioneers pay any auction dtttios,
as tbe articles sold are not subject to ihe tax. This
tax on certain articles has been in existence a great
many yiMrs, and the right was surrendered by tbe
City of New-York to the State when the Erie Canal
was constructed, in order to help tbe pavmeut ot
the great work. In 1846 a great many varieties of
goods were exempted trom the tax and the receipts
from this source have fallen off. Soverul of the
large wholesale auctioneers pay upward of 825,000 a
vear each as taxes.
The bondsmen of tbe mock furniture auctioneers

ry, February, March, April, and May, 1875. and
abandoned plaintiff altogether' and went to re-
side with Miss Pnilhps at the house named. Mr.
George F. Yeamans, to whom the case was referred
on the quesikin of alimony, pending trial, has re-
ported in favor of plaintiff, an.l Che case has been
moved Ob the calendar and will probably soon be
tried.

March last, by reason of a charge against her of
having committed an abortion on a Mrs, Curtis, a
member of a lashionable charch choir, Who had
been seduced by a Mr. Benjamin Gregor Jr, of Jersey
City, has sued, through Mr. Howe, for a divorce
from her hasband, Philip, whom she charges with
cruel and inhuman treatment. The plaintiff
and defendant were married in May, 1853,

tiff sets forth m her complaint tbat she bas
always been a faithful and good wife, and has ever
treated her husband with kindness and forbear-
ance, While be has, ev6r since their marriage,

fist, threw a clao and a piece of iron at
hr'r, and thht be beat -her almost d.lly from January,
1870, until tbe present year. She a->ks a partial di-
vorce, alimony, and the custody of her child, Anna
Isabella. The referee to whom tbe case was sent by
Judge Westbrook bas reported in lavorof the plain-
tiff and tbe report Is now awaiiiag tbe action uf tbe

tiyeyoun^r woman, resided at the corner of Sixth av-
enue and On& Hundred aiid Thirty-fourth street.
William is in tbe habit of getting home late in tbe
evening, as his business is in the lower part ot the
Guy. Daniel Fltzpatrick, a wealthy contractor in
Harlem, was an old friend of the Brennans, and was
in the habit of calling at their residence.
On the evening of the Ist of May, 1874, Brennan
came home much earlier thau usual, aud found the
house locked. After several vain eff rts to open
the door, he entered by a rear window, and alleges
that be saw Fi^zpatrlck rush from his wife's room
tn deshabille, soring ont of a window to an adjoining
shed and run rapidly awny, taid that he found the rest
of Pi izpatrick's clothes iu tbe room from which he

ISG OP THE CONTESTANTS.
The National Billiard Tonmamentt which
was commenced on Monday evening last, -is now
drawing to a close, and tbe last regular games will
be played on Tuesday next. The games thus far
have been notably poor, with few exceptions, and
this is altogether owing to the small-sized balls.
Sixteen games of tbe touma^enthave been played,
and there are still five to play. As the contestants
stand at present Joseph Dion and Bndolphe have,
equally good chances for winning the tournament..
While their young adversary, George F. Slosson,
will probably carry ofl tbe second prize.
The first game yesterday Was between A. P. Rn-
dolphe and. Jacob Shaeffer. The game was Cilled at
3 P. M., Mr. Neil Brvaat actinji as Referee.
Rudolphe won tbe lead, and started off with
a ran ot 11, followed by a run of 12
on the part of Shaeffer, who retired on
an easy carom, leaving the balls in a fine position
tor Rudolpe. He improved the opportunity thus
offered him by adding a neat run of 61 to his score ;
he failed to count on the next shot and left tbe balis
in a good position tor Shaeffer, who went Out alter
making 1. In tbe third inning Rudolphe made a
run of 24 points, the twenty-fifth shot being a play
for safety. Altboagh the balls Were again left in
i^ood position Shaeffer failed to make a cobnting
stroke. At the end of the fourth inning the game
stood 1G2 to IS in favor i^f BadolpDe, and the next
seven innings were utterly devoid of ipterest or
brilliant play on either side. Ihtbe eleventh inning,
Rudolphe, after playing around the table for SI,
succeeded in getting the balls into the lower right-
hand corner, but held them only for a short tinie, fail-
ing 00 his thirtieth shot. SSSeffer tailed to score a
point, although the opportunity offered was a good
one. Budolpbe won the game in the twenty-
seventh inniag, his opponent having only scored
152. Following is the score:

The highest run made daring the game was one ot
101 points by Dion. Garnier's highest run being 5i4.
The first «ame of the evening was called at 8;3P
P. M., Gamier wibniog the lead and scoring 1.
Dion failed to oohnt and Garnier followed
suit. Tbe game lacked interest until tbe
twentiath inning, when Joseph Dion increased
his score by a run of 101. Garnier played in very
ponr form, showing great nervousness and poor
judgment. In the twenty-eighth inning the eamO
stood 232 to ill, in favor of Dion. From this lime
Garnier picked up a little, but not enough to over-
take Dion, who in the forty-first inning ended the
game by a neat run of 27. Following Is the score :

tbe white ball. In the first inning^ he scored 1
point, and his opponent made 15. Dion then by
gned play got the balls into the upper left-band
corner, and "nursed" them Deautifuliy for 50
points, When they were broken. Then followed
several pretty shots for position, the fil'ty-ieventb
bfeins: ai. eleeant five cnsbion, which e icited weil-
mi-rited applause. The inning netted bim 113
points, and. although be gave Slosson good position,
the latt^ir only succeeded iu scoring 18 points, failing
to count an easy draw. From this point tlie plar
w.is only ordinary until tne eighth iuning, when
Dioh baying tailed to count, Slosson got the balls
again in position, but <iid not hold tbe ''set up "
lor any length uf time. He was playing a very
strong np-bill game, however, and be-

RAID ON A FARO BANE.
Last night Albert Williams, of No. 490 Henry
street, Brooklyn, went into the faro bonk located on
the second floor of No. 616 Broadway, and after
playing for a short time found himself minus $60.
Believing that he had been cheated he
■went to the Fourteenth Precinct Station-
bouse and made a complaint to Capt. Allaire,
wfio, with a sqnad of Police, made a raid on the
place and arrested Peter H. Hogan, the proprietor
of the establishment, and fourteen other men who
were found there piaving "faro." They were all
locked up at the siationhouse. The Police also
seized a full set of gambling implements, whioh
were in use when they entered tbe place.
mehts about his piibUshlng afiy tindicatoD of himself
were nnanthorised. He liad not felt that his ofidiai
conduct required any vindication, and he had not
thoncht ot either making or having such vindica-
tion made. He had no desire to thrust personal
matters before the public, bat if he had, he shonld
not select the present time, when the peofile are
concerned about matters of more serious moment.
In reference to the article referred to, hn said he
bad heard nothing of it until be read it to-day. The
article, he says, contains matters he. had not heard
of before.

ITS ATTEMPTED DBSSCBATION — IXttMZ
FROM LBOKASD SWRTT, OF CBICAGO.
To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune.
Chicago, Nov. 22. — ^As intimations have been
made in tbe daily papers tbat the arrest 'of the par-
ties charged with desecrating the tomb ef Abraham^
Lincoln was ftandulent, and induced by Either
Washburn, and aS the foots of his Conhsctlbn with
the case are known to me, and based upea my ris*
quest, I consider it my duty, in jiutiee to him, asd
without bis knowledge or solicitation, to state what
I know tn refelrence to tbe facts invdlv^.
One day dnriog the Sollivan trial • lawyer eame
to me manifesting great earnestness, and said a
client of bis bad revealed tt> hitd the fact that a
plan was on foot to steal tbe body of Abraham Lin-
coln. I do not consider it proper to state anything
more in reference to this plan or its obJSets than tb
say it had no connection with polities, but waa
Simply crime, ahd to accomplish oHaiinai fiier-
oenary ends.
I asked permission to stsite the facts to Robert
Lincoln, and, upon Consaltsttdn With Kim. wrote t6
John T. Stuart, of Sprihgfield, who baa bdbn promi-
nently connected with the Lincoln Monument
Association, Stating simply what I bad heard, and
expressed no opinisn upon the facts, out suggested
that perhaps the slightest intimation of danger
ought to Induce proper safeguards, if the body WoS
In a position Where it conld possibly be exoosed to
such a scheme. The next day broSght to my knowl-
edge the fact thMt any public gaard or open precau-
tion would simply postp'ihe the attempt, and,
therefore, upon the belief that the. officers them-
selves would catch the party in the act, ft ivas
thought best to let them do it,
I therefore wrote to Mr. Sttiart again, telling him
that tbe plan had been matured to catch tbe per-
petrators in the act, but while tbis was promised
and in deterence to it our precautions shonld be
secret, slill they shonld be so effectual as to leave
no danger of the success of the thieves. Some ten
days then elapsed, the details of which I purposely
omit, but the result was that tbe parties got ready
and selected election nieht, because publio atten-
tion would tbeh bn absorbed.
Up t.0 this time all I had done in tba matter was
at the request of Robert Lincoln, to induce tbe
prpcautious at Springfield, above stated. He also
asked me, as he did not wish to act in tbe matter,
to do anything I might consider prudent and proper.
He came to me the day of tbe nUht the parties
were going, and said he was fearful generally about
what woald be done, and the result, and I suggest-
ed, as Elmer Washburn was in town, and I placed
fail reliance both in hia discretion and integrity,
that we should consQlt tilm generally on the bitoa-
tiOD. . ,
That afternoon Mr. 'Washburil was donsttlted by
Bobert. bnt I was not able to be present, attd that
night after tbis consultation, Mr. Washburn in-
formed the that the parties had gone to Springfield
on the evening train. This was the first informa-
tion i bad that the parties were going at a definite
time or that they had gone. If I had known cer-
tainly tbat they were going, I shonld have procared
Washburn to follow them at once, biit then it waa
too late.
I begged Washburn to go down the next morn-
ing, but he exprbssed reluctance, because he hadnd
authority, and it might seem like interterlng. I told
him I was authorized by Itobert to act, and urged
him in every way I obnlU to go to Springfield on tbe
morning train. He finally promised that after vot-
ing at the Twenty.secoud street Station be would
then take the Chicago and 'Alton traia itibe oOald^
and if be failed he would report to me, and I aaid I
would get a Special engine for him.
After leaving him I became fearful that in think
lug tbe matter over his disinclination to Interfere
miu;ht flually prevail, and I went to the Twenty-
second Street Station a few minutes after the polls
opened ahd waited until 9, for the purpose of plac-
ing in his bands a written reqaeSt on belutlf of KoIk
ert and mysulr tor him to ta.ke charge of the matter
iu Connection with"Mr. TytTell.
Missing him there, as he. in fact, voted n^r the
Palmer House, I went to Itobert's bouse, and, after
becoming satisfied that he bad gone on the 9 o elook
train, we telegraphed him at Bloomiugton, en route,
to take charge of tbe matter, and we would back
him in whatever be might do. The object of this
was that be might feel authurised to act as far as
we could authorize him.
That uigiit Waahbnrn telegraphed me that the
parties had escaped, but although temporarily
baffled, he and Mr. Tyrrell Worked with skill and
oau lou, and flaaliy caught the men.
Nobody in connection with this whole matter has
been trying to make any money or affix any con-
ditions to their work, or in any way secure any
Compensation. The only money that has been paid
out is a matter of |2 per day to some parties con-
nected with the case who are poor and cou.d net
give their time without compensation.
The conduct of tbe oificers has been such as
would meet with tbe approval of all, provided they
knew the facts involved. Tbe arrest haying beeo
made, I employed Hon. Charles H. Keed to go to
Springfield to take charge of the prosecution. I
did tnis because I thought my feelings in tbe mat-
ter might misguide m(>, and I khnw him to be one
of the' best prosecutors in the oouutn^^
When all the facts are known, tSe gentlemen I
have named will be entitled lo, and doubtless wtU
receive, the thanks of all who loved Mr. Lincoln,
a-id who wish that his ashes may rest in peace.
Yours truly, LEONARD SWJBTX.

LOSSES HI FIBE.
LARGE FIRE IN NEWARK, K. J.
At 1:20 o'elock yesterday morning, - a
Police officer observed a dense volume ' of
ume bf smoke issaing frpm one of the large four-
story buildings in Snssex avenue, llewrk, occu-
pied by Atha & Hugos, as an enamel-ciutn factory.
An ularm was at once sounded, but tbe bells bod
scarcely soanded the brst alarm when 'the whole of
tbe west building was enveloped in flames. The
fire engines were broaght protnptiy to the scene,
but when they arrived tbe whole ot that building,
from scuttle to cellar, was a mass of flames. The
building was used lor dying pat poses and mannfae-
taring, and was stocked with oil and varnish and
otner combustlule maierials. The firemen poured
streams iuio the burning mass, but withuat percep-
tible efiVct, and not many minutes after tbeir arrival
the b|»ek aad side walls feil in. A portion oftheweSt
wall fell noen tbe bam of John W. Dopf, a grocer,
aud crushwd it to trasments; and a German, wbo
was trying to save some Valaable goods stored la
the barn, was seriously Injured. The falling brloka
also strbck au adjoining dwelling-house, and dam- ~
aifed it considerably. Tbe firemen; finding all ef-
forts to save the west building vain, turned their
attention to that in tbe east, also a handwme four-
stoiy strnotnre, which had been fired by tbe fl. ing
sparits. The upper part of the east bunding
waa used for storage purposes: the lower part
for sales-room and office purposes. The upper
floors were burned, and the firemen did not suc-
ceed-in subduing the flames un 11 the building had
been two-thirds destroyed. Except that tbe flames
started m the drying-room on the third floor of tbe
west building, nothing is known of their origin,
though It Is supposed they ire attributable to spon-
taneous combustlen. Tbe Watchman states
that he was in the drying-room half an
hour before the fire broke ont, and found
everytbing all right. The losses on the
buildings amount to $16,000, and on the stock to
|25,UU0, making a total loss Of 941,000. The inao-
icnces aggregate $39,000. as follows: In the Citi-
zons' Insurance Company of Newark, fO,000; and in
the Newark City, Manufacturers', and Humboldt,

Florida does not promise to be a pleasant
place of residence during the ensaine Winter
for citizens whose oonrictions impel them
to sostalD the Repabli6an Party. Exactly
;what affCractions tbe County of Jefferson
may offer we do not pretend to kno'W', but
its disadraatages are . palpable enough,
-if the resolutions we publish in
wiother colamn fairly express tbe views
of its people. They are intolerant
•nd proscriptiTe to the last degree. * They
siogle oat for persecution every man who
flares to prefer Hayes to Tilden, and they
IRaenace with the loss of bread all who pre-
fer the Republican candidate. Bad as Jef-
leraou County seems to be, Sumter County
is worse. There intolerance takes the
■brpe of outarage; zeal for the De-
m^Kuracy manifests itself in the form
of highway robbery, .and in attempts
♦o rid the party of the odium which at-
taches to fraud by means that entitle their
Inventors to the honors of the penitentiary.
Altoieather, we should say, the climatic ad-
vantages of Florida are very • likely to bo
oveatcome by the miasmatio i>oison which
the insolent lawlessness of the Demscracy
iro.parts to the political atmosphere of the
8tate.
Bespect for law and its administrators
Ss good. But when c(»rupt and untrust-
iworthy men ' presume upon the posses-
iBion of office, and under the pretense of ad-
saiTiistering law become tho thinly-disguised
asients of party, the case is altogether
•l.tered. So matters now stand in South
fJarolina. ITie Supreme Court of the State
lias the advantages incident to its title. It
to the chief Judicial organization of the
State. When, however, we pass from the
form to the essence — from the outward
land visible signs ef judicial authority to the
animatxng spirit by which it must ulti-
taaf^Xj be judged — we see good reasons . for
fwi tbholding the confidence which is claim-
iec*^ in the name of the court. The scene re-
p oited in our special dispatch is quite suf-
ficient to insure the condemnation of the two
•Judges who are not ashamed to trade upon
their position and to embark with all the
ileal of partisans in the contest between the
jBepablicans and Democrats. Judges Moses
tod WiLLARDwere not entitled to much
conmderation before; they are despicable
po*-. Men who cannot conceal their
foiy at the failure of their plan for
felling the influence of the court to Wade
'.ELAMPTOJff andfais adherents, cannot sarprise
.the community by any outrage tbey may
perpetrate. And these Judges, whosd venal-
ity and worthlessness we are content to
«8titnate according to the data ^furnished
l>y the party whose servants they have be-
come, must not wonder if the North inter-
prets their attempt to establish authority
Voveruembera of the Eetuming Board as a*
proslritutlon of their powers so shameless in
its character, and so lawless in its results,
a* to expose its authors to opprobrium
^wherever it is understood.
; It were premature to dignify the members
^the South Carolina Returning Board with
the title of martyrs. And yet there can be no
doubt that they win more credit by going
to jail under the orders^ of Messrs. Mosics
and WiLLARD, than they could have won by
co/npliance with the writs issued by these
bTirtesqne occupants of the bench.
7.'he anger of these mimic Jeffries is not
diiBcult to understand. They had bar-
gained with Wade Hampton and his man-
agers to deliver the State, and unexpectedly
they find themselves thwarted by the
vigilance of the board. They send
the members of the board to jail.
What then ? The judicial conspirators are
not one whit nearer the attainment of their
abject than before. They can no more
compel the board to certify false
and fraudulent returns than they
can force tiiem to believe that
Moses is a purist or Willard a saint. It is
easy enough, as the proverb says, to take a
horse to the water, but who can oblige it to
--^hiok f So the case stands with reference
"to the unprisoned members of the board.
The fact that they are locked up amounts
tonoWjiingmore or less than a quiet but
eloquent protest against the usurpation per-
petrated by a couple of despised Judges
in the name, but in contravention,
of the spirit of law. Their action cannot
pcssibly help Mr. Tilden. The only re-
t»arn8 recognizable at Washington are
;/.;hoae which the signature of Gov. Cham-
berlain shall attest as lawful and right,
land assuredly these will not be returns pre-
scribed by the mercenary functionaries who
Ihappen to have at their command the for-
imalities of the Supreme Court.
- The moro' serious complications are those
jpowing out of the effect of the proceed-
Poss of the State court unon events at.
Columbia, as they may be developed within
the next three days, in connection with the
local legislature. The right of the court
to interfere with the action of the Return •
ing Board in regard to the election of mem-
bers of the legislature is no greater than
in dealing with the Presidential Elec-
tors. In either instance the author-
ity of the board ia in its way
absolute. Its members would be false
to their duty if they suffered any extraneous
influence, judicial or otherwise, to govern
tbem in matters over which the Constitution
and the law make them independent judges.
The results, so far as they relate to
the Presidential Electors, are safe.
The State results are different. The
returns certified by the board exclude cer-
tain results in counties in which the shot-
gun policy was supreme; the order is-
sued by the court gives seats to the
members whom the board excludes. Here
is the basis of a conflict — not of the wordy
sort in which Messrs. Mosss and Wellard
delight, but a substantial conflict which
may render necessary the intervention of
Federal power. The task will be delicate,
though it be inevitable. But that is a rea-
son simply Tor supporting judiciously the
regularly-constituted authority, not for
permitting reckless partisans, unden the
thin cover of Judicial authority, to acquire
control in State affairs. '
The difficulties which Mayor Wickiiam
will find in the way of making any new ap-
pointment for Controller are fully set forth
elsewhere. It is perfectly clear that in face
of legal obstacles which might invalidate
next year's tax levy, and which might bring
to a standstill the wheels of local administra-
tion, the plain duty of the Mayor is either
to renominate Mr. Gkeen or to leave the
matter to be dealt with by the Legislature
and by his successor. Curiously enough,
Mr. Ely does not appear to" have
any disposition to dispute with Mayor
Wickham his power of making,
at the very close of his term, an appoint-
ment which will last for five years. Mr.
Ely is perfectly willing that the outgoing
Mayor should take the odium of any
illegal' or unpopular action relating
to the Controllership, and would prob-
ably rather have Mr. Kklly disput-
ing the possession of the office on
the 1st of January, than have the onus of
choosing between the nominee of the polit-
ical bummers and the nominee of the capital
and respectability of New- York. Of course,
Mayor Wickham may not be disposed to
gratify Mr. Ely, and his action
to-morrow may be guided by the
following utterances of the Court of
Appeals in a somewhat similar case :
"It is a dangerous principle to imply
power when it is not conferred by legis-
lative authority in clear and distinct
terms. It is wiser and safer to leave
to the legisliative department to supply
a supposed or actual casus omissus than to
attempt to do it by judicial construction."
PARTIES AND PATRIOTISM.
It is only two weeks ago since the readers
of Democratic newspapers were confronted
with the daily heading of " Tilden trium-
umphant" by 206 electoral votes, more or less.
Florida was sure. South Carolina was hard-
ly doubtful, and Louisiana was good for a
popular majority of at least 8,060 votes. A
week later, their pretensions had abated
very considerably, and now the utmost that
they claim is that Tilben can only be
elected by canvassing the vote of Louisiana
" on the face of the returns " and by takmg
Florida on the estimate of certain " honest
men who are friends of Gov. Tilden."
The arrogant confidence of the day
after election has gone the way of the
simulated confidence which followed, and
disappointed in the prospect of electing
Tilden by the fair means of an honest vote,
his partisans are giving their attention to
the possibility of forcing him into the
positions of a Presidential pretender by
means of a strained construction of consti-
tutional precedents, and a forced interpreta-
tion of the fundamental law.
We cheerfully recognize the promise of
temperaite discussion implied in these ut-
terances of the World, that " there is no ev-
idence or indication anywhere ot violence,
or the meditation of violence," and that
"in the North no one contemplates as pos-
sible anything but peaceful remedies." But
we cannot btf unmindful of the fact that
the World was the first to formulate
the possibility of a double Presidential
qualification. Of a divided Government, and
of a Mexican or South American struggle for
the adjuncts of power. Nor can it be lorgot-
ten that the veiled threats of revolution pub-
lished in the World were repeated in the let-
ter of Clabkson N. Potter, whose personal
relations with Mr. Tilden are sufficiently
well-known, and whose purpose in throw-
ing out such a feeler ot pub-
lic sentiment was tolerably obvious. The
fact is, the Democratic claims of victory have
very considerably moderated during the
last week, because there is a very slen-
der foundation left to sustain them, and
the threats about what would be done
in case of Mr. Tillen's defeat have
been very sensibly toned down, because the
sober sense of the people has very em-
phatically rebuked the mischievous and
reckless talk of professionial bullies, politi-
cal speculators, and disappointed office-
holders.
The vast majority of the American people,
without distinction of party, have made up
their minds that there is nothing in tbe
present dispute over the Presidential vote to
justify the discussion of methods which
are warranted neither by' historical
nor constitutional usage, and, least
of all, to warrant popular excitement
over possibilities which the stur<^ com-
mon-sense of every English-speaking peo-
ple has always proved sufficient 1^ meet.
If there has ever been any serious intimation
of setting up a bogus government by pro-
nunciamenio, it must be conceded
that it has come from the North
rather than from the South. The Southern
whites who have succeeded in effacing the
legitimate influence of 100,000 negro voters
in three States may well be content to rest
satisfied with that achievement for a
while. Their Northern allies are proba-
bly not quite aware of the magnitude
of the feat which has been performed for
the benefit of the party. Heuce, they have
hounded on Democrats in South Carolina to
claim what they never had, in Florida to
X claim what they never exnected. and iu
Louisiana to insist on th^ fruits of intimida-
tion and violence, which could only be
utilized in the absence of either examina-
tion or protest.
A comparison of the letter of Mr. Hew-
itt to Wadk Hampton with the addrses
of the latter to the people of South Caro-
lina, win show the force of this distinction.
Mr. Hampton simply displays a cool and
impudent disregard of facts in refer-
ring to his partisans as the defenders of
law and order, but Mr. Hicwitt deliberately
stfrs up strife in stating that "it is almost
too much to expect that there will be no
indiscreet mau in South Carolina who may
provoke the collisihn." We are all familiar
with 'the significance of the cry, " Don't
nail his ear to the pump," and Mr.
Hewitt's sniveling affectation of con-
cern for the freedom wherewith the
people of South Carolina "were niade
free" suggests that, and something
more. The "wisdom and good fortune"
which Mr. Hewitt thinks have so" far "at-
tended the actions" of the rifle clubs of
Edgefield Laurens, and elsewhere, are
hardly occasions for invoking " the provi-
dence of God," though the allusion may
help to show how cant and coercion may be
successfully associated.
The outlook is certainly more promising
than it was a week ago. Whatever doubts
may be raised between now and the meet-
ing of the Electoral College iu regard to the
result to be declared by that body, there
can be no question that, as stead-
fastly maintained by The Times,
Hayes will be found to have been
honestly elected. The only serious danger
before the country depends on the' spirit in
which that declaration will be received
by the Democratic leaders, and- the
temper in which the Democrats in Con-
gress wiU be prepared to discuss their du-
ties contingent on such a decision. It
IS obvious that very little in the
way of repression or restraint can be ex-
pected from the Democratic candidate. It is
perhaps not too much to expect that a very
decided influence on the side of moderation
and reason may be expected from an influ-
ential section of tbe Democratic Party.
The problem before the country would
prove a very simple one, if people
approached its solution with perfect good
temper and entire readiness to be con-
vinced by a preponderance of evidence on
either side. We have seen no reason to be-
lieve that Republicans had lost their temper
over the discussion; we are glad to find
that Democrats are regaining theirs.

DIPLOMATIC AND CONSVLAB SEB-
riCE,
Mr. Albert Rhodes contributes an article
to Scrihner's Monthly for December, on "Our
Diplomats and Consuls." The writer takes
the orthodox American view of the clothes
question and of the degeneracy of our for-
eign service ; sees no encouraging signs of
improvement, and looks forward to tUs
abolition of the diplomatic branch of
that service altogeth«r. Mr. Rhodes, it
seems, once rested all his hopes of the re-
generation of this service upon so feeble a
foundation as the Consular Clerk act
of 1864. Mr. Seward's thirteem consular
clerks were expected to revolutionize tbe
whole consular and diplomatic world. Two
clerks actually grew to the full maturity of
Consuls, of , whom ope resigned and the
other was removed. K the one who was
crowded out could only have been kept in,
the brilliant magazinist thinks our consu-
lar and diplomatic system -' would have
rested on as stable a foundation as " West
Point." It may here be observed that there
are three slight obstacles that stand
in the way of the realization of these
dreams of the student's closet. One
is that under the State Department,
interpretation of that clause of the
Consular Clerk act which provides that
" no clerk so appointed shall be removed
from office," an Administration has only to
promote a cleYk to be a Consul one day and
remove him the next. The second obstacle
is, that all legislation limiting the power of
the Executive in this respect is of doubtful
constitutionality, as the power of appoint-
ment is supposed to carry with it the power
of removal ; and the third is, that acts of
Congress to prevent removals from office on
political grounds, though constitutional, if
passed by one Administration would prob-
acy be repealed by the next. Scholars and
literary men like Mr. Rhodes, who are not
"inside of politics," and are outside the
habits and modes of thought and action of
politicians, may as (well settle down to this
conclusion, that the greater stability,
greater permanency which we need in the
f.ivil service, home and foreign, can only be
secured with certainty by an amendment
to the Constitution, as suggested by Gov.
Hayes six years ago. Anything short of
this has just the stability that belongs to
the varying fortunes of political parties.
The discussion to which we reter, treats
too flippantly the social side of consular
and diplomatic life. It is a conclusion
arrived at by close observers ' who have
passed much time abroad, that in the
Old World everything is secondary to so-
ciety. With us, society and everything is
made secondary to business. In England, if
a gentleman neglected a dinner engage-
ment on the plea of business, he would be
thought a fool, or at least a " muff." In our
country, if a man neglects business on
the gi-ound of au engagement to
dine, he is. looked upon as a
person of feeble mind. In the older
countries, the whole life-struggle is a strug-
gle for social position. With as, it is a
struggle mainly for wealth, which brings
with it social influence, friouds, political
power, luxurious homes, libraries, works of
art, and all which men most prize. As a
consequence of this fundamental difference
in the way of viewing life, an American
representative iu a foreign capital may
have ^he intellect of a Hamilton, a Marshall,
or a Webster, and yet, if he is not recognized
by what is called " society, " he has
no influence, whatever. He can have
no political influence without social
influenee ; th6 two are inseparable. To
stand well with society is to stand well with
the diplomatic corps and with the Govern-
ment to which he is accredited. This social
standing, which involves a Minister's i>oliti-
cal standing, is determined by his mode of
living and entertaining, his manners, his
dross and that of his family, and his social
accoinplishments. "^
• And this brings us to the frightful clothes
Question. Wa would not for an instaut thiuk
j-v<ay4. — ' ^- / it:kf^^^
©f agitating the feelings and feathers of the
Bird of Freedom, by suggesting anything so
slavisl&As the possibility of there being
worn some insignia of office or official dress,
so severe in simplicity and so perfect in
taste as to please the most and the least refin-
ed, and distinguish the wearer from a belated
undertaker, or aji usher or a lackey of a
Court. Nor woullji we suggest anything so
absurd as that, when there are forty-nine of
the fifty most highly civilized nations
aga'nst us on this question, the forty-nine
might be right and the one wrong. The
forty-nine, like the eleven pig-headed jurors,
must of course be wrong. We dismiss
also as sophistical the effete des-
potism argument fha^^^i-when a gentleman
invites you to the society of his house, you
are expected to go dressed as a gentleman,
and that when the' Queen of England in-
vites you to her hous^, which is also the
Government house, you are expected, if you
accept the invitation, to go attired as her
guests are accuatoin,ed to dress. Has not
a freebom Hail Columbian citizen a perfect
right to go to Buckingham Palace in
any coat he sees fit? Is it not his
privilege to go with his coat wrong side
Out, or to go with no coat on at all f Who
shall interfere with the clothing an Ameri-
can sovereign sees proper to wear T
Instead of adopting the Spanish proverb,
"Follow the customs or flee the country,"
very Yankee diplomat should say : " Follow
my customs, or I'll make your country flee."
A few years since, the wife of an American
Minister undertook to teach Paris etiquette
by delivering verbal invitations to a grand
evening ballinperson.'Paris laughed, but did
not attend. Paris must not.shall not, laugh.
Paris must take her customs from Urichsville.
While we concur unanimously with Mr.
Rhodes and others who insist that, in those
countries where custom requires that au
officer should bear with him on state oc-
casions some outward evidence that he is
not a menial, the free-born and heaven-born
diplomatist should exhibit himself and his
independence by, disregarding this and as
many other customs as he can, we at the
same time are compelled to ask that we
be consistent. Why should civil officers
wear official robes or uniforms at home and
never abroad ? Take the judicial robes
from the Chief Justice and Associate
Justices of the Supreme Court of the
United States at once. Why should
a policeman wear anything so undemocratic
as a uniform ? And as we have a pride in
being consistent, we must demand that the
officers of our Army and Navy put aside
their toggery and wear, both on duty and
ofi^ plain citizen's dress. The same argu-
ments against official dress apply to all offi-
cers alike, civil and military, at home and
abroad. If we set up our own judgment
against that of the civilized world on one
kind of dress, why not on all ? Down with
all uniforms and uniformity in anything.
OUR CITY GOVERNMENT.
It must be a great . satisfaction to Park
Commissioner Martin to find that though
tax-payers ( have preferred charges of bad
faith and misconduct against him and his col-
league O'Donohuk, and that both the public
at large and the press have condemned his
management of the Department of Parks,
his services have been understood and ap-
preciated by a Democratic majority of the
Board of Aldermen. In one of his stereo-
typed communications to that body, he sets
forth the fact that the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment had reduced the amount
asked for by the department, $730,400,
down to $384,000. He is greatly concerned
for the maintenance of the parks, and asks
that the estimate be increased for va-
rious purposes, ■ and in various sums,
amounting in the aggregate to $327,100.
Among Mr. Martin's wants as detailed to
the Aldermen we notice a sum of $6,600 for
the making of maps for the use of the De-
partments of Taxes and Assessment. A
more barefaced attempt at swindling the
people of this City was never attempted by
Tweed, Swekny, and Connolly in their
palmiest days. As regards salaries of officers
and clerks, President Martin thinks he could
struggle through with an increase of thirty-
three and a third per cent., that is, from
$45,000 to $60,000. Our chosen rulers— those
to whom we intrust the management of
the affairs of a City containing over a
million of inhabitants — acceded to Mr.
Martin's sweeping requests. Oa Thursday
last the Board of Aldermen, in Committee of
the Whole, completed their revision of the
provisional estimates for 1877. The total
increase in the estimates made by the board
is $1,084,179, of which $327,100 represents
President Martin's wants.
All the Tammany Aldermen voted for the
estimates. It is not probable that the Board
of Estimate and Apportionment, as now con-
stituted, will adopt the views of the Board
of Aldermen in this matter, or in any man-
ner change the figures of the original ap-
propriations made by them. Should it,
however, happen that, between this present
writing and the final revision of these ap-
propriations by the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment, Mr. John Kelly were
appointed Controller, as Mr. Green's suc-
cessor, and should Mr. Green acknowledge
the validity of the appointment, things
might assume a very different shape. Mr.
Kelly would become a member of the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment, and
his vote would control the appropriations
for the coming year. That this is the con-
fident hope and direct wish of the Tamma-
ny Aldermen is public talk in all the City
offices and about the City Hall. It is be-
lieved that the eminent citizens who have
80 strongly urged Mr. Kklly to accept the
Controllership are headed by Alderman
PuiiROY, who no doubt visited Mayor
Wicrham's office on Thursday morning to
inform him that Mr. Kelly, prompted by
considerations for the public good, had
finally yielded to the considerations of the
aforesaid eminent citizens, and reluctantly
consented to accept the Controllership.
Should Mr. Kelly, the head and front of
Tammany Hall — which is to-day as corrupt
as it ever was under Tweed — be intrusted
with the care and management of the City
finances, there ■will be great rejoicing among
all those who live by plundering this City.
Without in any manner impugning Mr.
Kk;lly's individual honesty, we believe that
his accession to the Controllership would
be the beginning of a series of systematic
attacks upon the City Treasury, by>fcfie
hordes of political bummers and profMsional
politicians which constitute his fcMlowing.
Meantime a netitiou has been sentico Mayor
Wickham and the Common Council, asking
that Mr. Grrkn be reappointed Controller,
on account of "his faithful and efficient
services, and his perseveririg exertions in
protecting the City Treasury from un-
just and exorbitant demands." It is
numerously signed by bank Presidents and
business men. Will our rulers vouchsafe to
listen to the prayers of these humble peti-
tioners—representing much of the wealth,
intelligence, commerce and enterprise of
this city T Those eentlemen of the Board
of Aldermen who voted for an increase of
$1,084,176 in the estimates of 1877 must nat-
urally look upon Mr. Grern as " an ob-
struction j^" ihey will turn a deaf ear to the
voice of the petitioners ; nor will that in-
fluential body of eminent citizens headed
by Alderman Purroy— all pledged to re-
form—be likely to advocate Mr. Green's
claims to the Controllership. They have
been kept out in the cold too long already.
A system of municipal government which
produces such men as Tweed, his coadju-
tors and successors, which has increased our
City debt from $36,293,929 50 on Jan. 1,
1869, to $137,555,645 12 on the 30th Septem-
ber, 1876, must be radically wrong. Our
rulers in no manner represent the best in-
terests of this City.
WAR AND WOMEN.
The calamities that befall other men we
are apt to bear with early and graceful res-
ignation, particularly when the other men
belong to a different country. "Tfie threat-
ened war in Europe concerns us chiefly in
respect to the probable manner in which it
will affect our commerce and trade ; just as
our great civil war affected Eurooe.
Neither nations nor communities are made
up of philanthropists or sentimentalists;
but it would be better for humanity gener-
ally, as well as for ourselves, if we should re-
gard war as the monstrous evil which,
under most circumstances, it unquestionably
is. We are too much inclined, whatever
our race, to look upon war from the purely
masculine side. Unless we be unusually
sympathetic, we very seldom consider cam-
paigns and battles ae they bear upon
women, who, having little if anything to do
with making modem contests, are invaria-
bly tbe greatest sufferers therefrom. It is a
bitter irony that they should be compelled
to endure agonies of uncertainty, ages of
anxiety in hours, hopes that torture with
disappointment, and oereavements that are
worse than death, from causes which they
would make almost any sacrifice to remove.
If the war in Europe should break out^ as
there is at present every indication that it
will, we shall be furnished with vivid and
picturesque accounts of bloody engage-
ments, desperate assaults, exhausting
marches, with all the details of slaughter,
wounds, capture, and general destruction
and distress. We shall read descrip-
tions of pathetic and painful hospital
scenes, of gallant deeds, of heroic deaths, of
glory lost and glory won._ All the doers, all
the sufferers, all the victors, all the defeated
will be men. Not a thought will be given,
not a word will be said about the sisters,
sweethearts, wives, mothers, who have been
left behind, who are watchisg, weeping,
praying for the protection and return of
their brothers, lovers, husbands, and sons.
What comparison is there between the
doers in the field and the sufferers at home ?
What man, capable of sympathy, is there
who would not rather charge any battery,
or lead any torlorn hope, than be one of the
wretched women hundreds or thousands of
miles away, enduring every horror which
alarmed imagination can paint? Those
who have seen military service know how
much worse the rear of battle appears than
the front ; how much more painful and
ghastly is the field after the fight than while
the fight is going on ; how much more ter-
rible it seems to be coming up to the battle
than to be in the battle's midst. With such
knowledge it ought not to be difficult for
them, or indeed for any one, to conceive
what women, bound by the closest ties of
blood and affection to the soldiers, must in-
evitably endure in the circumstances in
which they are fixed.
When a soldier dies in the hospital, or is
killed in the field, it is common to saiy,
"Poor fellow, itisall over with him." " He's
out ot his trouble!" This is true enough,
probably ; but it is far more probable that
the poor fellow has a sister, wife, or mother,
dependent upon him, materially or spiritu-
ally, with whom it is not all over, whoso
troubles must be greater henceforth than
ever. It is the law of Nature that no man
can wholly dissociate himself from women.
Every sin he commits, every blunder he
makes, every evil that happens to him, en-
tails, directly or indirectly, its consequences
upon them. His virtue and his vice, his
glory and his shame, his well-being and his
ill-being, his life and death, are part of
them^ He cannot be free from them, if he
would; he would not, if he could. The
water that drowns him, the fire that burns
him, the bhllet that kills him, drowns,
burns, or kills, mentally or figuratively, at
least, some yearning, loving woman. A ball,
or bayonet, or shell, which strikes the sol-
dier bleeding to the earth, strikes other
forms than his, and makes a deeper wound.
Could the taces of the women whose hap-
piness or misery hangs on the lives staked
in battle be seen in the battle's front, the
soldier that could advance, and charge, and
slay, with his wonted coolness or self-con-
trol, would be more, or less, than human.
We remember in many tragic plays how
deep-dyed villains, wholesale murderers,
have dreadful dreams, wherein those they
have wronged or slain appear to tell them
that bereaved orphans and widows will
hang heavy on their arms, and blind their
eyes, in to-morrow's fia:ht. In the real .
tragedies of life which battles cause,
orphans and widows innumerable should
darken and distress forever the souls of the
makers of all needless wars.
Not one in a hundred of all the wars of
history has had an honest or a worthy
purpose. Nearly all of them have been
waged to gratify a love of conquest, a desire
for plunder, or the pride of KingS. MilUous
of men have died, millions of women have
been rendered wretched, that some selfish
leader might gain renown, or some abstract
principle of false honor might be settled.
Most wars of the last century have resulted
in little else than waste of money and waste
of life. Nothing has been gained either
materially or morally ; they have ended
nearly where they began, plus countless
graves, cripples, invalids, shattered hopes,
and broken hearts. There have been, a few
.j^.^ ,-i
contests — contests for ideas, for human
rights, for higher civilization-r-our civil
war was one of these ; but when such have
been, women have taken up their great
burdens, mournfully, though patiently and
resignedly, and have accepted what fortune
brought, not without poignant grief, but
with the consoling thought that thfey had
suffered and made sacrifice in a holy cause.
It has been urged against women, some-
times, that tbey are incapable of bear-
ing arms, of performing military duty
in the field. There have been many
exceptions to this rule, which no doubt,
however, holds generally good. If this
incapacity be a fault, it is certainly a
good fault, one to which progress and
humanity should be lenient. It might be
said in woman's favor that, should she have
the arrangement of affairs, wars would be
far less frequent, if they did not cease alto-
gether. She is not so strong, physically,
nor so fierce as her brother man, but she is
undeniably more.moral and more civilized ;
and where high morality and civilization
are, war, often as it may happen, is always
an anachronism. In any strict gynocracy —
should there ever be such a thing — the
question of women bearing arms will ndt
be discussed, for war will be ranked, as in
most cases it deserves to be, as a relic of
barbarism. The days of trial by battle on
a grand scale would assuredly be numbered,
if statesmen and* leaders who declare war,
and soldiers who conduct it, were; capable
of feeling for any length of time the dis-
tress of mind, the agony of heart, the
torture of soul, which every battle, all over
the civilized world, naturally and neces-
sarily brings to women. To them men owe
much more than they ever think or concede ;
and if men were more in the ♦habit of look-
ing through women's eyes, before they
imperil women's happiness in military ven-
tures for no good or wise end, they might
give themselves such wholesome pause as
would turn the almost equally 1t)alanced
scales on the side ot beloved and blessed
peace.
TEE MARTINEZ DEL VALLE CASE.
The Martinez, Del Valle case was in many
respects a remarkable one. While it was
exclusively an aCTtion for damages for breach
of promise of marriage, the plaintiff firmly,
cheerfully, and constantly insisted upon
the alleged fact of her seduction ; although,
in the absence of' any proof that it is the
invariable custom of Spanish gentlemen to
preface an honorable marriage with pro-
pitiatory seduction, the only effect of the
plaintiff's claim to alack of virtue was to
weaken the presumption that there had
been any marriage engagement. So much
prominence, however, was given to the
question of her seduction, that the majority
of unprofessional persons who read the evi-
dence in the case probably learned for the
first time last Friday, from the Judge's
charge, thit the action was for breach ot
promise, and not for seduction.
The public is already so familiar with
the case that it would be superfluous to
rehearse any part of the evidence offered
on either side. It is, however, full of
valuable lessons for elderly gentlemen and
attractive young ladies, and it VoUld be a
neglect of duty not to point out and em-
phasize them. It is undeniable that both
Miss Martinez and Mr. Del Valle fell
into errors of conduct which more cautious
persons would have instinctively avoided.
It was perhaps entirely proper for the lady
to slip on a piece of orange-peel, provided
she did so from conscientious motives, and
it was not necessarily indiscreet for the
gentleman to pick her up again. The plain-
stiff's counsel has pictured Mr. Dkl Valle
as a roaring, though elderly, Spanish lion,
going up and down Broadway, seeking
whom he might pick up from the muddy
pavement, ,but it nowhere appears that
such was his habitual practice. His first
admitted error was in his attempt to im-
prove upon the conduct of the Good Samari-
tan, by inviting the young lady to social
suppers at a restaurant, and to' subsequent
theatres, instead of quietly putting her in
an omnibus and paying her fare. Similarly,
MissMARTiNHZ was indiscreet in permitting
herself to be fed by a casqal Spaniard. Had
she been an aged masculiae prophet, she
would have been reasonably safe, but no
young lady in the wilderness of New- York
can be fed by strange Spanish ravens with-
out incurring a serious danger.
The acquaintance thus formed ripened
rapidly, and Mr. Del Valle finally invited
his fascinating Iriend to come and keep house
for him. This offer she accepted, for the
conclusive reason that her step-father had
promised to shoot her if she should be
guilty of the impropriety of marriage, and
heuce she desired to propitiate him by as-
suming the delicalie position of house-
keeper for an unmarried mau. This was
the second indiscretion of the heedless pair.
The young lady placed herself in a position
which inevitably subjected her to unpleas-
ant suspicions, and as her father was so
much pleased by her conduct that he .nobly
decided to live on the money which she
could extract from Mr. Dix Vallk, the latter
found that his pretty housekeeper was an
expensive luxury. Hereafter, cautious Span-
iards will select housekeepers from amoLg
elderly ladies without relatives ; and it is to
be presumed that discreet young ladies will
perceive that before keeping bouse for a
marriageable gentleman it is perhaps as well
to marry him.
Whether Miss Martinkz's conduct while
at Mr. Di:l Valla's house was in all re-
spects what it should have been is a ques-
tion upon which there is a difference ot testi-
mony. Miss Mai'.tinez Says it was, but
Mr. Del Vallk and several other witnesses
say it was not. That she brushed her own
hair in her own room with the door open is*
conceded ; and she is now aware that, how-
ever innocent the act may have beeu, she
could have avoided the appearance of evil
had she simnly hung her hair oa the outer
door-knob and left it to be brushed by the
servants. It is charged by Mr. Del Valle
that she was in the habit of assuming
"academic postures," and thereby shock-
ing his sense of propriety. There is a deep
mystery as to the exact meaning of the
phrase "academic postures" with which
the defendant has enriched the English lan-
guage ; but it is probable that when the
witness Alvarez saw Miss Martinez and
her sister "lying on their st-m-ohs" under
a hedge, he was entertained by " academic
postures" unawares. If so, we may assume
that in Mr. Del VaLI-b's mind ^' academic "
is synonymous with "aohool-irirl^' — a con-
jecture whicTi is strengthened fcy the al*
leged fact that the position described bj
Alvarez was one whicli is held in Ti^gH
repute at Vassar College as aia aid to the
easy and successfol study of text-books on
metaphysics. Nothing can be clearer, how-
ever, than that no young lady, whatever may
.be her confidence in her own taste on the se-
lectioH of stripes, ought to assume *' academic
postures" in pubUc. They may be entireljp
lawful in the seclusion of one's own room,
and unavoidable when assumed in conneC'
tion with orange-peel or icy pavements v
but it is obvious that) they are aot adapted -
to awaken admiration and rfespect, except,
perhaps, in the minds of importers aid .
dealers in hosiery. ' '
But aside from such minor morals as
these, the great lesson of tiie Martinez-
tiel Valle case is the profound tmt^ that
a pretty yotmg lady who consents to keep
honse for a casual street acqusintuice
thereby invites unpleasant consequences f
and that elderly g^itlemen who pick up
young ladies who are in pnbHc difficulties
with orange-peel, dust them, feed them,
and engage them as housekeepers, seed
not be surprised if they are subsequently
requested to become the targst for the
denunciations of eloquent counseL Here-
after, when a young lady strews herself obJ
the sidewalk, there wiU be a precipitate
jlight of all prudent men from the locality.
The sufferer whom the Good Samaritan
picked up was of his own sex, but never-
theless lis rescuer hnrriedly left him at the
nearest inn. It is just possible, that the
Good Samaritan would have like^^se helped
a fallen young lady to her feet, but had
he thereafter engaged her as his house-
keeper, he would have lived in history am
the Silly Samaritan, no matter how excel-
lent his motives might have been.

CKEATKD IN THE ISLAND OF MATOTTA —
THRBR PARISIAN BXCtTEMBNTS— THE
KKW OPKRA OF "PAXJL AKD VIKGINIA."
Ftam Owr Ovm Corrtipondent.
Paris, MondaT, Nov. 13, 1876.
I mentioaed the other day the scandal
i«cently brought out by the famous mateh
mouopoly, and stated that efforts were now
being made to reduce ttie annual tnbute to be
paid tha Qovemment from sixteen to six mil-
lions. Certainly, il that were done, the mon-
Olfely could eet^rongh and pay the sharebold-
«»- Tery fair diyidends; but the Government
could put a less vexations tax upon the free
Jndoatry of this commodity, and get more net
revenae. Matches would thus improve in
onality, and the public would find the tax less
.v«zati«us. By reducing the tribute of the mon-
i(q)Oly company to six miliiens, the Qovem-
jBoent would lose about one million a year
; by uphoidin;; a monstrous arrangement. And
If the pnnciple of reduction is once admitted
there is no telling where it will stop, f"«r the
people have learned to get on very well witll-
eut matches, and may decide to forbear using
them entirely. Then another reduction w^ultf
be necessary. The lucifers given us here at a
pnce three times that paid in America are the
worst that I ever saw, and one cannot use them
-without danger. The sulphur flies off upon the
band, and 'very severe bums are the oonse-
.quence. And with this annoyance we must |
put that of the domiciliary visits of the special
luoifer Police, who can enter any house for the
ourpose of seeing if the matches used bear the
stamp of the monopoly. If they do not, the
matches are seized and theholders mulcted in a
small fine. And all this comes from the at-
tempt to sustain a very bad fiscal measure and
a monopoly that has proved a failure.
And besidea this scandal, we have two or
three more, similar in some respects. I do not
mention these things for the purpose of being
captions, or of attacking the French, but for
the purpose of showing that such errors and
ftands do not belong solely to the United
States. Americans have been very severely
reproached of late, bnt the very things which
•re made the aabjeot of reproaoh in your coun-
try exist here and elsewhere, and beloi^ to
human nature rather than to any land. When
one looks into the municipal government of the
ICity of Ijondon a number of things are seen
i^rhieb do not comport withi proper ideas of
ieqnity and justice, and there are adminiosrative
idetails here which are certainly not fairly
lionest, however legally they may have been
•mmged. The case of young Btnoi^t d'Azy
is one in point. This gentleman jjocupies the
high position of Secretary of th« Colonies.
He ift, at the same time, one of the sharehold-
ers in the Comores Company, located in the
Island of Mayotta, of which his father. Count
Benoist d'Azy ia the President. Last year
thero was a sam ot 60,000 francs surplus
money firom the subvention whieh the Govern-
ment allows this colony, and the question
arose as to the disposition af the money. Con-
sidering the laarshy and unhealthy condition
'fd the country, the Qovemment decided to ex-
pend this money upon the roads and drainage.
The conditions were that the Crovemment «^as
to pay one-third ot the cost of any work of this
Und nndertaken by the native land-holders.
ITothing could be said against this plan, for
the improvements were greatly needed. The
.Commandant ot Mayotta received an order
l&om the Minister of Marine and the Colonies
to inform the local proprietors that the money
jvas waiting for them. He did so, giving six
iweeks' time for a reply. Bat it happened
that none of the proprietors live upon the
Island, their plantations being in charge of
^ents, and it takes about three months to get
letters tn reply to those sent from Mayotta.
iHence, out of the nineteen persons addressed,
only one made a favorable reply, and that was
tlae Direetor of the Comores Company. All
xbe rest said that they had no authority to ad-
Tanee two-thirds of the money, but would im-
paediately communicate with the proprietors.
-The agent ot the Comores Company responded
promptly, but said that he could only pay one-
half, and the moneywas turned over to him upon
those conditions. It was all expended in improv-
ing the plantations ef the Comores Company,
land their stock went up at once. The matter
leame before the Assembly the other day, and
iM- Benoist d'Azy was accused of having taken
advantage of his position. The agent of the
^omores Company had received full instruc-
Itions how to act before any orders had been
laent to the commandant, and hence, the com-
pany got the advantage of the appropriation to
|fhe disadvantage of all the other proprietors
iof Mayotta. The Eepublicans are very angry
jShont this afi'air, and are pressing M. Benoist
jd'Azy so hard that be will probably be forced
'to resign his othee. Ihis case shows that
LAaiericans are not the only people in the world
.iwho have to suffer from Administrative "jobs,"
iChat the ofi^ials of every country in the world
are pretty much alike in this reepeot, the dif-
ferenee being mainly in the extent and boldness
of the operations.
The excit«ments of the week have been
over a woman cut in pieces and found in
the Seine, and over another pastoral of
iHonseignetir De Gop. The tragedy is a
■hooking one in fact. While fishing the other
day some persons saw a package floating just
ontier the surface of the water, and on pulling
it. out found the upper portion of the body of a
irouan in a sack incased in sawdust, fastened
*o the bottom by a stone at the end of a cord.
The Seine happened to fall some two feet that
week, and this fact led to the discovery, for the
package was still so far b««low the surlace as to
be only faintly visible. Had the usual fresh-
et at this season come on, this crime
might have been undiscovered tor months.
The Police were sent for, and on having the
nver uragged, the lower part of the body was
found in another sack, ancbored in the same
way. The remains were taken to the Morgue,
and the shocking spectacle now delights the
evee of thousands. So great is tlie crowd of
Txidauda who flock to the dead-house out of
pure curiosity that the Police have to arrange
them in lines and admit a lew at a time. There
"•are persons who delight in funerals, and thsre
are persons who revel in such shocking sights
as that now witnessed daily at the Morgue— a
terror-stricken face, in horrible contortions,
wilh open mouth and eyes, peeping from a
voarse sack and lying upon a marble slab, upon
which a stream of water slowly trick)e3. The
woman was evidently of the servant class and
about twenty-eiuht or thirty years of age.
As usual in such cases, numbers ot persons
have recognized the features ot the dead, but
in each case tliey have been mistaken. On Sat-
urday a soldier recoguizeil the face as that of
a village girl with whoiu he had had relations in
Paris. He was so sure of it that he made a
declaration before the Commissary. On exam-
iBiiag iiito the case, however, the soldier's ^aj/es
was found serving iu a cal6, where she had
■ gone to hide herself from the infantryman,
bavutg taken up -witJi a bt.au dragon, from the
same provincial town. Thus we have comedy
mingled with this sombre tragedy, and amusiug
scenes occur daily at the Morgue. The Police
have been for a week engaged upon this case,
but have not yet obtained any clue to the iden-
tity of the victim, or as to the author of the
orime. j
Victor Mass6, it is believed, will have a great
success with his "Paul and Virgmia," which
offers, as every one can readily imagine, a Une
opportunity for scenic cflect. The niise en
Bc^ne is splendid; the music is charming.
Bat no one ea^ imagine the countlesis di^-
apjgiointments and trials that liaasti had
fore he could get his work produced. In these
days the author of genius has to share the
honors with the mechanic of the stage and the
scene painter. Mass6 had to search a long
time before he could flad a director willing to
undertake the task of putting his opera upon
the stage. It is always a little cruel to destroy
the romances of youth and to make an
appeal firom them to the hard facts of
history, and perhaps few will thank
me for a few notes upon the origin of
tliis charming story by Bernardin Saint Pierre.
He iramed his romance from an account of the
wreck of the Saint Goran, which was lost on
the 17th of August, 1744, and not on the 25th
of December, as he states. The Saint Geran
was commanded bv Capt. Delamare, (and not
Aubin,) and left L' Orient on the 24th of March,
1744. After a passage ot twenty-two days the
vessel arrived at Gor6e and took on board thir-
ty negroes. On the 17th of Au^nist there came
up a terrible storm and the sliip was wrecked.
A raft was coniitructed, but went in pieces, and
sixty persons were drowned. Only nine persons
were saved m all. Virginia was Mlie. Caillon,
andthe other passengers were Mile. Villarmais,
Gresle Guia6, and Longcnamo de Montendre.
The episode ot Virginia preferring death to
exoosing her person without clothes was not
wholly imagined by Bernardin, only the
person was Capt. l)elamare and not Mile.
Cailion. When the raft went in pieces all stood
on the quarter-deck ; the mate broueht a plank
to the Captain and told him that he should
take off his clothes in order to swim better on
it. " M. Delamare," says Card, " would never
consent, saying that it would not be decent for
a man of his position and diirKity to
arrive on shore entirely naked; and
besides he had valuable State papers in
his pockets whieh he ought to save." The
truth is that it was Capt. Delamare who was
drowned through excessive modesty, and not
Virgima, who > arrived on shore very nearly
naked. I may add that in giving his heroine
the name of Virginia, Bernardin borrowed the
names of his two betrothed ladies. Mile. Vir-
ginia Latour, niece of Gen. Du Borquet, and
Mile. Virginia Taubenheim. of Berlin. This is
soiid fact and not romance, and equally so is
the hbvi mandement ot Mgr. Guilbert, Bisliop of
Gap. He reiterates nis former liberal opinions
leas emphatically, perhaps, than in his first pas-
toral, and tries to impress upon the clergy the
necessity of separating politics and religion,
the altar and the theatre. «
THE CONTliOLLEESEIP.
MR. JOHN KELLY LIKELT TO BE NOMINA-
TED Br THE MATOE — THE LEGAL DIF-
CCLTIE8 IN THE WAY.
Notwithstanding the recent action ,of a large
body of cepreaentatiTe bankers and merchants, and
basinesa men generally, in reqneiting Mayor Wick-
ham to renominate the Controller, it is considered
likely that the Mayor will select Mr. John Kelly,
tha Tammany leader, to fill ttie important ofiSce,
and send his name to the Board of Aldermen for
confirmation to-morrow. This tact was annoanced
yesterday by politicians who freqaent the City
Hall, and who claim to be in Mr. 'VVickham's conti.
dence. They asserted that the Mayor had yielded
to the presBure, and that "Mr. Kelly would be oar
next Controller," Shrewd men, however, equally
acquainted with the situation, were not of this
opinion. They argnlsd that Mr. Wicknam appreci-
ated the legal obstacles in the way of appoint-
ing a successor t* Mr. Green, and that he
would not undertake the responsibility of making
an alleged illegal nomination th.t might cause im-
mediate and costly litigation, and create a dead,
lock in the whole City Governinont. In this way
these men arrived at the coaclusion that Mr.
Green would bo retained nntd the Legislature
should meet. They also declared that Mr. G-reen,
ha-ring the law on hii side, would contest the right
of the Mayor to nominate his (accessor, and carry
the ease. If necessary, up to the highest court for
final ad.iudieation. They farther said that the
Controller would take this action not merely for the
purpose of "holding over " by virtue of a provision
In the charter, bnt with a view to guard the City
Treasury until his successor was legally chosen,
and proiecting the financial interests of the City
generally — an ironortant duty for which the
Mayor's candidate might possibly not have sufiicient
experience. ,
That there are grave legal dilHoulties in the way
of the Mayor making a nomination ia admitted by
evey lawyer who has carefaily read the charter of
1873. That section it is held not only gives the
Mayor no power to select a candidate for head of
the Finance Department on the expiration of Mr,
Green's \erm, but expressly excepts the
ofiSce from those for which the Mayor
was authorized to make nominations. Even
lawyers who are, from disposition, opposed to taking
advantage of legal technioalicies In close cases,
hare admitted that "there was enough in the sec-
tion to make considerable trouble," and that the
next Legislature should be ealled noon to settle the
di£Bcalty. Add to this the fact that evidence is
extant showing that the framers of the section in-
tended that the ControUership and other offices
named in it should not be filled by the Mayor, and
the present aspect of the question can be fully re-
ahzed.
If, therefore, the Mayor should nominate a suc-
cessor to Mr. Green to-morrow, or at any future
time dnrlag bis own term of office, such nominee
conid not claim that he had been legally appointed,
unless by ignoring the specific proyiision of the
charter, which, it is claimed, absolutely deprives
the Mayor of the power to make a nomination.
Assuming, then, that section 25 h^s any force,
there 18 no provision in the charter for appointing
a Controller to take Mr. Green's place. But the
Constitution of this State, and also the Buvised
Statutes, furnish a remedy in all such cases. Arti-
cle X., sectioD 5 of the Constitution, provides that
the Legislature shall fill all vacancies la office, and
the Revised Statutes [Part L, chapter 5, title 6, ar-
ticle 1. section 4,1 declares, in explaining this clause
in the Constitution, that " every officer, the mode
of whose appointment has not been provided for by
the Constitution, or is not, or shall not be, pre-
scribed by law, shall be nominated by the Gover-
nor, and appointed with the consent of the Senate."
Under the Constitution, the Keyined Statutes, and
the charter, then, there could be no question as to
the right of the Controller to retain his position,
and the City would continue to have the benefit of
his services. But if these laws have any force, it
might be entirely difltarent with any oominee the
Mayor might name other than Mc. Green. Anew
Controller would be the signal for sharp lawyers to
question the validity of his acts. Capitalists
who loan the City millions of dollars on
revenue bonds In advance of taxation would
tie very likely to hesitate before advancing any
sums on bonds issued by an ofilcial, who had " a
cloud on the title" to his office. Id addition to this,
the tax levy for 1877, amounting to over thirty
millions of dollars, is yet to De passed, and to 'oe
legal it requires the unanimous vote of the tour
members of the Board of Apportionment. The
Controller is a member of the board. Suppose a
suonessor to him should be illegally appointed, the
result might be disastrous to tne City, for it would
imperil the whole tax-levy of next year. In such a
contingency it might be impossible to collect any
taxes whacever.
\V hetuer Mavor Wickham really intends to take
the respongibiliiy of stuoping the whole City Gov-
ernment by nominating a succeasir to Mr. Green,
will probauiy be known at the meeting of the Board
ot Aldermen to-morrow.

MUSICA^.
CONOKETS AT THE ACADEMY.
Three concerts of general attractiveness and
interest will take place at the Academy of Music
this week. They will occur, respectively, on the

Brignoli, Miss Thursby, Miis DrRsill. Mme. Schil-
ler, Mr. Fritsch, and Mme. Carrofio-Sauret will be

in all the entertainments. Among the good
things of the first programme are noticeable
some new ballet music by Tschalkow-
8Ky; Schubert's "unfinished" symphony;
Taussig's setting of " The Invitation Co
the Waltz," for piano, and the soprano air from "La
Pr6 aux Clercs," with violin accompaniment. For
"Wednesday, the whole third act of " Lohengrin,''
with the accompaniments by Mr. Thomas' oroDes-
tra, 18 in lesorre. The success of an affair so ingeni-
ously and liberally planned can scarcely be
doubted.
GBNKRAL MENTION.
A concert by Mr. Gilmore'a band may be at-
tended at the Grand Opera-house, this e'ening.
The first of the series of "music recitals" to

exolnaively, and, on "Wednesday, she is to play
selections from Beethoven's piano works.

season occurs on Saturday evenipg, at Steinway
Hall. The programme is to embrace Schumann's
Opus 52, tha vorspiel to "GotterdiimmernDg," and
Beethoven's fourth symphony. Special attention
is asked to the fact that the regular public rehearsal
preparatory to the concert takes place on Wednes-
day, instead of Thursday, which has been set apart
as Thanksgiving Day.
DRAMATIC.
BRIEF REFERENCE..
Continued representations of "Baba'' are
announced for this week at Kiblo's Theatre.
" Uncle Tom's Cabin " wdl be performed this
week and this week only at the Grand Opera-
house.
Mr. Alfred Burnett and Miss Helen Nash are
to perform at the Olympic Theatre this week, and,
after the variety programme has been interpi^ted,
the dramatic company acts the play called " Home
Again," nightly.
Messrs. George S. Knight and Barney and
Bickey appear this "Week dt the Eagle Theatre. A
new farce ealled "Hot "Water," and a new

atre ends with the present week. On "Wednssday
morning next, the sale of seats for the representa-
tions of "King Lear" will commence, and, on the
following Monday, the tragedy will be acted.
The steady success of " The Shaughraun," at
"Wallack's Theatre, makes comment supeifluous.
Mr. Boucioault's play and his owu highly amusing
performance have proved, if anything, more attrac-
tive than did the earliest representations of the
drama and of its principal personage.
The revival of " As You Like It," at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre, has been found more remnnera.
five, even, than it- was hoped It would be, and
hence, the reproduction of " The School for Scan-
dal " has been postponed until Dec. 5. Mr. Cogh-
lau, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Davidge, and Miss Fanny
Davenport are all Incladed in the cast of Shake-
speare's dainty comedy.
Mr. Booth's representations at the Lyceum

play, it will be recollected, was to have been made
known «o the public at the Park Theatre, but the
sudden closing of that house prevented Its perform-
ance. " The Crabbed Age." we are sure, will not
be injured either by the delay or by the change of
scene which will have preceded its first representa-
tion.
MISCELLANEOUS.
CURRENT GOSSIP.
The San Francisco Minstrels will eive their
wonted entertainment of broad farce and min-
strelsy throughout this week.
The numerous additions made almost daily
to the wonders of theNew-Tork Aquarium render
frequent visits to that resort profitable as well as,
enjoyable.
The London newspapers speak with much
praise of the performances of Miss Julia Gaylord,
one of Mr. Bosa's prime donne, at the Lyceum The-
atre, in London.
Mr. Heller's Wonder Theatre has become a
much-favored place of resort, and Mias Heller's sec-
ond-sight performances.are to be credited with no
slight share of the auocess the whole entertaiument
has achieved.
An amateur minstrel entertainment, for the
benefit of a country church, will be given at
Chickering Hall, to-morrow evening. The pro-
gramme, which may be read in another column, is
promise-crammed, and its promise, too, is that
mirth, whose sway is by no means general lust at
present, will prevail throughout the entertainment.
, Mr. Barnum's show , still prospers at Gil-
more's Garden, and its continSed sojourn in the
metropolis is strong proof of the genuineness ana
variety of its attraoliveness. Several new artists
join ihe forces in the arena this week, and the con-
teat for the championship of bare-back nding.which
was not decided on Friday, is to be renewed ou
"Wednesday evening.
The Boston newspapers do not like "Con-
science" or Miss Claxton, who was last week at the
' Boston Theatre. The Advertiser remarks that the
piece Is a "poor play — poor in construction and in-
ciuent, aud beggarly poor in dialogue. In fact, it is
nothing but a pretentious melodrama, the chief
events of which have been used over and over
agaio, and in combinaiions almost exactly the same
as those here employed." And of Miss Claxton's
performance the same critic writes: "The whole
elFort is so fall of artiflcs, deliberation, and calcu-
lation, aud is consequently so un spontaneous and
unnatural, that it gives little pleasure."
which will be personified by MM. GeoffToy, Braa-
seur, Gn-P6i63, and Mile. Ahce Rdgnault.

produced, under the composer's direction, at St. Pe-

successive evenings in that fine opera of a some-
what " advanced " school.
The Paris Porte-Saint-Martin has revived
" Les Boh6miens de Paris," a drama in five acts and
eight tableaux, by^M. Dennery and Grange. This
intererting production, original, full of mavement,
animation, life, and songs, by turns gay and grave,
was first brought out in 1843, and proved most snc-
oeasful.
It may be remembered that M. Geffroy has
consented to appear on the stage in the " H6tman "

STABBIKG AFFRAY IN JERSEY CITY.
At about 6 o'clock last evening Thomas Kelly,
a 'longshoreman, entered the liquor saloon of Thom-

right eye; the othera are on top of Reddy's head.
Information was at once given to the Police, and
Kelly was arrested in a saloon acrosa the way,
known as tbe " Burnt Rag." Reddy's wounds are
very severe and painful, but the pbysiclaos do not
regard them as fatal.
TEK PRlZt} SILK
The growth of the trade in sewing-silk and
machine-twist is one ot the grana>:8t examples of
the progress of American industry. In no branch
of manufacture and commerce is a perfect article
more essential to success, and the steady, unparal-
leled strides made by the renowned bouse of
Beldlng Brothers & Co. is complete evidence of
the uniform euperiority of the firm's goods. Sew-
ing-silk and macbine-'twist ia something which
comes right into severe practical usage in every
city, town, and hamlet of the land. Its quality is a
matter of qtllok and final proof. The fact that the
goods ot Beldiug Brothers & Co. are now standard
alike with trade and public all over this continent
shows how thoroughly they have met the required
proof of excellence — how perfectly they have stood
tbe test. Three .great ficfcones are now needed to
supply the deuiana for this firm's iuoompara-
ble silk. One factory is in Connecticut,
another iu Massachusetts, and the third in Mon-
trsaL All three are run continually, f jr the cail
for these goods, alike in the United States and Can-
ada, Is never ending and always increasing. Beld-
lng Brothers & .Co., make and sell one-third of
all tbe sewing-siik and machine twist used on this
side of the Atlantic. Tbe house has received the
most eminent of Centennial honor?, the medal of
merit and Certificate of Distinction having been be-
stowed upon its superb exhibit by the group of
judges. The judges particularly commend the silk
shown by this firm for those two grandest essen-
tials, " color " aud " qualitx ." At tbe Centennial,
as elsewhere, the goods of Belding Brothers & Co.
prove to be above and beyond rivalry. The house
has its head-quarters at No. 510 Broadway, New-
York, and has auxiliary establishments in Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston. Ciocinnati, San Francisco and
elsewhere, while its admirable goods are obtainable
of all rasponsibla dealers in every part of tbe land.

THE JURY RETDRN A* VERDICT IN FAVOR
t)F THE PLAINTIFF — THE DAMAGE TO
THE LADY ESTIMATED AT $50.
When the fact became -known .yesterday
that the jury in the now famous Martinez-Del
Valle salt for alleged breach of promise of mar riage
would probably render Its verdict at an early hour,
the excitement rapidly increased, and at an early
hour the court-room in which the trial was held and
the oarndors leading to it were crowded with an
anxious throng, who waited daring nearly the en-
tire day for some new* as te tbe result.
Judge Donohne had no communicaiion with the
Jury since they had been locked up the previous
evening, and at an early hour in the day expressed
Ms determinatioa of keeping them locked up until
they should agree. During the morning they were
taken from the regular jury-room anU locked up in
Supreme Court Chambers, where they remained un-
til 3 o clock.
At 3:10 o'clock Judge Donohue opened court in the
room occupied by Part II. of the Supreme Court,
Circuit, on the other side of the building, into
which none were admitted with the exception of
the counsel on both sides, the defendant, Mr. Del
Valle, and his friends, and the members of the
press. -The plaintitt was not present at the time,
nor had she been in attendance during the earlier
part of the day. The jurors, looking some-
what tired, entered the court through the
Judges' private room at 3:15 o'clock, having
been locked up over twenty-four honrs. Mr.
Del Valle was represented by Mr. Choate, and Miss
Martinez by Mr. Brown, who has been connected
with Mr. Beach in the tiial of the case. The
jurors, after answering to their names, wore asked
by the Clerk if thay had agreed upon a verdict,
when the Foreman replied, " We nave." 'The
Clerk then asked, " How do you find f" and he re-
sponded, " For the plaintiff,"
Clerk — ^In any amount?
Foreman — Fifty dollars damages.
Clerk — Gentlemen of the iury, listen to your ver-
dict as it stands recorded. You say yon find for the
plaintiff in the sum of 850 damages.
Judge Donohue then expressed his regret at hav-
ing been obliged to keep the iurors looked up for so
long a time, and added that in a case which had
taken so long a time te try it was merely justice to
both parties that compelled him to do so.
Mr. Brown, on behalf of the plaintiff, thea moved
f jr an extra allowance of five per cent., which was
granted by Judge Donohue, after which the Court
aOjourned. *
A reporter of The Times snbsjquently learned
that when the jurors retired they were about even-
ly divided, those in favor of a verdict for the plaiu-
tifl being of the opinion that she oughi to get from
81,000 to $40,000. Several ballots were taken, and
tu'ev finally compromised on the above verdict.
ABKESl OF' A BURGLAR AND HIS ACCOM-
Pill CHS.
On the morning of the 20th inst. the apart-
ments of Germain Quint, on tha fourth fioor of No.
108 "West Houston street, were broken into, and
wearing apparel and jewelry valued at $500 were
carried off. The burglary was reported to Capt.
Byrnes, of the Fifteenth Precinct, and Detectives
Slevin and Dolan were ordered to make
an investigation. They learned that on the morn-
ing on which the robbery was aommitted a lady
Hying on the second floor of the bouse saw amau
carrying » large bundle down stairs. Tbe detec-
tives obtained a deaoription of the burglar, who
proved to be a Frenchman named Leo Schwindel,
residing at No. 95 West Tnird street. T:ie prop-
erty was taken to his refidence on Monday, and on
Tuesday he sold a portion of it to a man named
George Gallagher. Search being made for Schwin-
ael, ic was niscovered that, he had gone to Albany
on ' Tuesday evening, evideutly on a thleviug
expeiiitlon. A watch was kept on the Albany
boats, and, on the arrival of the boat yesterday
morning, Schwindel was seen leaving it, carrying
two large traveling-bags. He was arrested and
taken to the Mercer Street Police Station, and the
ba<'s on being opened, were found to contain a
num'ber of seal-sklu caps, a quantity of kid gloves,
SDCks. nndersuirts, shoes, several large ostrich
leathers, and a miscellaneous collection of proper-
ty probably the proceeds ot a series of thefts
committed in Albany. Schwindel was locked
up. His residence was then searchea
and a portion of tbe property stolen from Mr.
Quint's apartments was found in the possession of
Mi'8. Schwindel. The woman said that It had been
given to her by her husband. She was also arrest-
ed and lockeU up at tbe Mercer Street Police Sta-
tion. Gdilagher, who, as stated above, had pur-
cliasad some of the stolen property, was likewiao
arrested, as was also a man giving his name as
Henrv Cooper, aud who was in company with
Sehwindel when be left the boat. Chief of Police
Molloy, of Aloauy, has been communicated with in
order to ascertain tbe owners of the property foimd
in Schwlndel's possession.

CLOSE OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUE FAIR.
The forty-fifth annual fair of the American
Institute, which has been in progress at the Rink
in Third avenue, during the past three months,
closed last evening. The spacious hall was crowded
with people, who thronged the avenues separating
the various stands of the exhibitors, and clustered
around the music stand in the centre of the room,
upon which were seated the judges and
orchestra. After the latter had executed
several airs, Mr. Charles F. Adams
introduced Mr. F. D. Curtis, of Saratoga County,
who delivered the closing aadress. He reviewed
the past history of the institution, which he said
had been organized just fifty years ago by less than
a dozen members. Its resources and ineoms both
of labor aud mind bad been pledged to the support
of American inventions. It had now a member-
ship of over 2,500, and a library of 11,000 volume*.

'; USEFUL FAMIlT HINTS.
To Fbesesve Eggs — I. — Mix together in a tub or
vessel one bushel of quick lime, two pounds of salt,
one-half ponnd cream of tartar, witb as mucb water
as will reduce tbe coinpositlon to a consistence to
float an egg, tbea keep the eggs tborein. This
will preserve them perfect for two years at least.—
Fbances.
To Pbeseevb XiGGS. — ^n. — Apply ■ with ' a brash a
sdlation of jsam arabio to the shelis, or immerse the
eggs therein: let tbem dry, and afterward pack in
dry charcoal dust; this prevents them being af-
fected by any alteration of tetnperatnre, and pre-;
serves them for a very long while. — Mrs. J. J. C.
To Clean Black Alpaca ok Cashmekk.— Make '
a strong soap-suds of warm — not hot — water, put
mto'it perhaps a teaspoonful of borax ; wasb tbe
goods thoroughly in this, ahd if very dlrtv waab In
two waters, prepared the same way; rub no soap on
your material ; rinse in very blae blueing water ;
iron on tbe wrong side when half dry. This will
make rusty alpaca look fresh.— Onb^WhO' has
Tbied it.
To CtBL Obteich Tips.— Tell the " Unfortunate
One" that a better way tu carl her bstnoh tips thao
by heat is to take her scissors and draw tbem, of
one blade of tbem. very gently oter each single
part or thread bf her featber. — Bonneb.
PooD FOB Cbildben, I. — ^It Is impossible to inform
S. C. as to " tbe best article of diet for a child just
weaned," without a knowledge of its age and the
condition of its dental organs. If it has teeth with
which to masticate, it may be allowed solids ; if
still tuiaai>plied witb teeth, it must take only fluids.
But there is<a choice of fluids, of coarse. The best
is new milk, somewhat di'bted witb water, and
witb a trifle cf sugar added, to canse it to approxi-
mate more nearly to the natural lacteal supply.
This should be enriched with a tbin gruel made
from the gluten of whe^t-^ most valuable food be-
cause easily digested and very nutritions, containing
the nitrogen and mineral elements wbicb feed tbe
blood, nerves, brain, bones, hair, teeth, and muscles.
Wnite floar and all tbe starches should be avoided,
as shonld the various prepared foods, which are
nsually little more tt: an cracker dust. These re-
luarks are intended to apply to children who are
" biongbt up by hand," as well as to saeh as are
being weaned. As to times of feeding, I have
found once every three hours at first, and a gradual
increase of the interval to fonr boura, to work well.
The child should sleep alone in a uerfectly quiet
Toem, and staoold eat nothing from 6 at night to 6
in the momiag. By accustoming him to this he
will soon fall into tbo habit of aleeping soundly
during the prescribed twelve hours, and will not
snffer from indigestion, as when food is taken before
the previuus meal has been digested. — M, D.
roOD FOH GHILDBEN- n.— My "mether" ex-
perience leads me to conclude that condensed milk
taken fresh every day, and mixed in the proportion
of a teaspoonful of milk to a cop of water, is an ex-
cellent article of diet for a child just weaned. Potir
one-half cup boiling Waters over the milk, and when
dissolved, cool it tiU lukewarm with cold water,
and sweeten a little. Give It to drink from a cup,
about once in four hours. Should there be a ten-
dency to acid stomach, two teaspoonsfnl of lima-
water to a cupful of milk given oocasioually will
correct it. A piece of inicy unbuttered steak in
the fist to suck, not swallow, and a little taste of
plain wholesome food, given in small quantities,
carefully prepared, has proved entirely favorable,
and prepared the little stomach for more solid food.
This supposes the child to be not far from one'year
old. As tne child grows older increase the riehness
of the milk.— Mrs. B.
Ink STAiNa in Cakpet.— I have removed the
very worst ink stains irom carpets of very delicate
colors by mbing tbem with skim-milk, and wben
they are almost effaced wasbing them with a cloth
wrung out in boiling water without soap. Then
cover the place with a dry cloth and let it remain
so for a day Ink J. B.
CabE of Plants— I.— Plants that grow too rapidly
must have only w^ter sufficient to keep them from
drooping, and all tbo snnhght possible.- Stop all
fertilizers.— Aunt Addie.
CAfeE OF Plants — II. — Geraniums are apt not to
bloom li they are in loo large pots. A fonr or flve-
iuch pot is quite large enough for a good-sized
pUnt. Have tbem repotted every six montns.
Be sure and give quite warm water every day, and
keep the soil idosened about the edges of the pot.—
Aunt Addie.

ation to 13,200. The late inspection of tbe regi-r
ment, which took place in the open air. proved con-
clusively that the regiment was entitled to all it
claimed, and tbns another example is afforded of
the benefits to be derived from "open air" inspec-
tions. This command will give a series of prome->

A SEBTANT FLOGGED IN ENGLAND. /
* From the London Standard.
■' It is not often that an outrage on a domestic
servant so gross and offensive as one Jnst reported
from Yorkshire is made ^lubUo. The sufferer was
a cook, and the oflEenders were two groomr in the
service of at Capt, Stott, < near Pocklington.
According to ' the evidence given there had
been bad feeling in tne bousendd be-
fore. Magisterial proceedings bad taken place
afiecting the Captain's ladv add her cook, ana it is
darkly hinted that ever since the relations be-
tween the two were those of sullen and smbluering
"hostility. At any rate, it was alleged, on the 15th
of Septembar last, Mrs. Stott cslled tbe eook Into her
presence, and then and there told the two grooms to
takeher into the barn and giveher good beating. They
followed orders, although tbe exact process by which
they got her into the barn is not stated; she was then
thrown down and smai-tly belabored with a sirong
leather strap, which lefr liar body, aooordiug to the
testimony of adoetor, "rod, inflamed, and swollen."
Manifestly, if such an assault could be proved, no
ordinary pnnishment shonld have snffloed. Kever-
theless, while the Bench discredited the witnesses
for tbe defense, and considered the charge made
out that an assault of a "very grave and disgusting
character" bad been committed, they gave the
two grooms no heavier penalty than one month's
imprisonment with bard labor. It would be in-
teresting to know what extenuating circumstances
occurred to the judicial mind in this case. The
couns^ for the defense denied that any assault had
been oomiuitted of the nature described, and the
fact that the woman seems to have gone unresist-
ingly to the barn with thegrooms after hearing her
mistress tell them to give her a good beating, reqnires
explanation ; but. after all, either an assault
was committed or it was not. If the latter view
were taken, the men sboiild have been acquitted;
if tbe former, they should have had six months'
imprisonment at least. As the season for dlseusa-
ing jBStlcos' Justice has now commenced, it weuld
appear that their worships are determined there
shall bf) no want of material. It is therefore, ssme-
wbnt unfortunate that one of the flrst specimens
of their eccentricity has occurred in a ease where
the servants of a brother squire and the wife of
that squire w^ere stated to have been the parties
directly involved.
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS.
FAST DATS iA' FRANCE.
From the Fall Mall Gazette.
A gentleman of an inquiring tUm of mind
has been amusing himself with collecting statistics
regarding the consumption of food by Parisians on
fast days and days of abstinence. It appears that
last Good Friday " the Niobe of cities " madaged
to consume 280 pounds of salmon. 110,000 pounds of
cod, 5,000 pounds of skate, 40,000 pounds of red
herrin»^B. 8,01)0 ponntis of shad, 3,000,000 pounds of
oges, 6,738 poands of butter. Tns allowance of
flah for a population of 2,000,000 inhabita/its is not
very larg%, though 40,000 pounds of red herrings
will go a long way, especially in pro-
ducing thirst. Keepers ot public nouses, indeed,
must be tempted to an irreverent parody of the
coachman's winh that it were Berbv day all the
year round. They have certainly eveiy reason to
wish thai the fasts of the church, if ob»erved in
thii spirit, may be many and rigorously entorced
by the civil auibority. The amount of beefsteaks
consumed ou Good Friday is not stated. It doiib'-
less represented a considerablo amount of self-
aaseition ou the part of "liberals;" ia the conti-
nental acceptation of the word, though many ad-
mirer,s of Prince Napoleon were somewhat scan-
dalizt^d at tha dinndr-partv once alTen by bia Im-
perial Uighness on that day. French clerical jour-
nals take good care to remind Prince Napuleon of
cf his icnnrudence, to call it nothing worse, at least
once a year.

Shore, 15,300 Delaware, Laokawana and West--

7,000 New-Jersey Central, 4,400 .. Rock
l9'.»ad, 2,700 Western Union, and 2,000
Ohio and Mississippi. Tho old story
of the settlement of the railroad war
was again put in circulation, and
tended to impart a temporary show of strength
to the shares of tho trunk li«es. Lake Shore
advanced, from 56% to 57%, Michigan Central
from 43^4 to 44V4, and New-York Central to
103. At the close these stock? showed a reac-
tion from the highest point of V4 to % ^ cent.
The Granger stocka were firm and higher. The
coal stocks were again made scarce for deliv-
ery, and advanced under purchases by the
shorts. Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
rose to 71% and Now-Jersey Central to 36%,
the former closing at 7iV4 and the latter at
35%. The want of faith, however, in tbe fu-
ture of this class of securities was, as un yes-^
terday. manifested by the sellers' options put
out at a very heavy conces-sion from tho regu-
lar price. Quicksilver, which has for a long
timo been the Kip Van Winkle of tbo street,
suddenly awoke to-day from its protracted
slumber, aud surprised aud gratified its ad-
herents by an advance of 1^ %^ cent, in the
common and 3 ^ cent, in the preferred stock.
Money was easv at 3@3Vi per cent, until near
the close ot the day, when there were free offer-
ings at 2'a>2Vi8 per cent. The National Bank
notes received at Washington for redomjption
to-day amounted to $1,050,000, makins a total

The foreign advices reportrd tho withdrawal
of £122,000 sterling from the Bank of England
to-dfty. The steftm-ship Algeria, which sailed
from Liverp»ol to-day, for New-York, took
$750,000 specie. Tbe Lonaon market tor se-
curities was firmer. Consols advanced Ve V
cent., to 951^ ®95%. United States bonds were
H®V4 ^ cent, higher, except fsr 10-408, which
closed at IO71/4, against 107^4 ®107% yesterday.
1865s (old) advanced to 103% ®103%, 18678 to'

SPIRITUALISM AS 1 BELIBW.- u
i. From the Saturday Sevieui.
•■■ Whether or not the decision of tbe Ifaeistrat^
in this case fSlade'sj ia sustained bv the Court el
Appeal, tbe revelations which have already takei^
place will, we hope, do (cood ia exposing and aa.<
tnaskine one of the most diieraceful and deeradingl
•nperstitions . of modem times. There are nai
doubt plenty of fools in the world who are:
nat responsible for the abaurdities into whiclt
their imbecility leads them; bnt the elasa of
Splntnalsts is , oomooaed of mixed *ie-
menu. and contains a fair prooortion of knavap to
iools. It ebonld be observed that Spiritualism u to
many persons a lucrative profession ; to others is
Is the cbeap satisfaction of an idle vanity ; and it
is deplorable to observe tbe corrupting effect of this,'
form of humbue on the minds even of professed'
msn of science who have a weakness for attracting
attention by sensational expedients. There is no:
proposition in ordinary science or in an? affair of
real life wbicb wonld far a moment be received on;
such evidence as is adduced for alleged Spirirual;8ti
facts. When any real discovery is annonnced iaj
acienoe, no aeoret is made of tba eondiiiouai
under which tbe experiment is perlormed; dia-
cnssion is invited, and the fullest opportunities are
Civen to eompeteht persons to test the truest iu%:
independently. In the case of Spirilnalist marvel*. '
we are asted to believe that a small set of pt?ople,i
ssnally of dubious character, possess the exoIaeiy«
command of a mvsterioos aeenoy which operates ia>
JEt way that is utterly strange to and inconsUtent'
with all sane bnmsn exparieuce. The worst olfoud*.
ers in regard to this subject are not tbe weak-!
miaded simpletons who are utterlv befooled, ]
bnt persons of education and inielii-!
Kenoe who coquet with tbesa exiravaeausesf
in order to get np a repntatioc for superior insiebt,'
or at least to en.loy notoriety, even If they have no'
other objects in view. These are the people who
stoutly protest that they are not at all Spiritualists,
-but that theylhink there may be "something in!
.it." Xbensis also a kind of morbid eentlmentalism,
wbicb ilfces to flirt with mysterious eubjccie for tbe
mere sake of a new sensation. Everybody admits
.<tbat tor tune-telling is a low and detrradine enoer-
"Htltion ; bat there is really bo difference wnarever
1 between fortane-telling and Spiritualist fears,
Except that the latter are more elaborate in their
laecfaanical illattrations, and appeal to sill.v people
of a higher social grade. If oace it were establisbed
that public opinion eonld be formed on such a baiiis
as Spiritualist eyidence, there would be simply' an

Wdre it Bot tor the title of this volame
the reader would be oozzled to say whether it
is intended to be the life of the Prince Consort,
» biographj of the Queen, or an exposition of
the political history of England, domestic and
fbreien, during the reitm ot Victoria. This
vagueness ot purpose Is, however, only appa-
rent, tor it would be hard to conceive of two
lives more perfectly blended than were those of
the Queen and Prince Albert, while both were
devoted to the duties of Koverninjc Great
Britain, and to guiding and controlling its poli-
cy toward the Continental Powers so as to pre-
Berve the dignity of their own empire and te
avoid needless oomplioationB abroad, with a
singleness^ directness, and honesty ot intention
whieh will hereafter be ooospiouous in history.
Jlr. Martin, in an mtroduotory note addressed
•< to the Queen's niost excellent Mi^lesty," justi-
fies so forcibly the wide scope of this volume of
the memoir of the Prince Consort, and express-
«s so eloquently and honestly his sense of the
hara]S>ny and beauty of the lives which it has
been his good fortune to record, that his words
are worth quoting. He writes :
•• Tbe events which make history were thas tho
»tnio!<Dher« in which the Pnnce lived. It was
iip«D ihem bis mind was oonstantlv at work. It
Was with tuem that his correspondence chiefly
d«alt. Hi« story, therefore, ooald not be told with-
out at the xame time telling the atorr of these
eventa. To show how they acted upon his mind,
and how in tarn his mflaeooe reacted upon them,
ha-) been my aim. This could not be done without
at tbe same time affortling elunpses ot what each
day brings CO your Ifi^eaty in tbe way of active
aaperrisijnof tbe basinassof theStaie. In going
throagh the volaminous records of State and other
Dapers compiled by tbe Prince for the nae of yonr
>laj»8t.y and himself, which It has been my duty
and privilege to examine in the execution ef my
task, nothing has impressed or toaohed ,4ne more
than tne indications on which I everywhere came
of bow tbe minds and hands of yonr IXi^e'tv
and the Prince bad worked together upon the ranl-
tif irm and diffloalt questions which were con-
ciAotly preseatinc themaelvea for consideration.
Only a faint idea caa be given in any work like the
pr<>8ent of tbe weiehty character and the wide
Tvagfi of tbe topics which engaged the thoughts of
-vour Majesty and the Prince during the eventful
years of wlilch this volume treats. Still, it cannot
our- be well that your Majesty's subjects slioatd
-learn .something of the noble activitv which then
xelfned vritUn the palace; here not a day, scarcely
an hour, passed which did not leave its record of
•(>me iiuod work dcme, some sagacious counsel ten-
dared, some worthy enterprise enoouraced, same
measure to make men wiser or better devised or
^ p«4 forward ; some problem of grave social or
poetical moment meditated to its depths and ad-
'van\:ad toward a solution f They have long loolced
with pride to the Iiome of their aovezeign as a
psttei'n of what a home and a court should be,
in the warmth of the faaiily afFection,
the refined simDlicity of the tastes, the
>]>arity «>f tfae mural atmespDere by wbicb it was
■Dervadad. They will be ao less pleased to learn,
ss fiom the present volame they will, that while
mil the n aces of life were cultivated there, and all
'the oharl tiea thai soothe, and heal, and bless,' dili-
gently fostared, tliat home was also the seat of hard,
aoiioas, unremitting work, which had for its one
«bie«t the urotection and promotion of the coantrj''8
-welfare. Thus, too, they will better nnderstand
-what such work imposes upon your Majesty, woen
i: u no Icmger shared with him whose ever watcb-
lul teodemeaa no less than his calm, courageous
intellect, took from the cares of royalty more than
italf their burden."
While it would be impossible to sum up
snore briefly and telioitoaaly the distinguishing
efaatacteriatics of this memoir, still another
feature will strike all intelligent readers. The
Queen harselt, even more evidently than was
the ease in the first volume, seenu to have
Iteengniding Mr. Martin's pen, and to have
directly inspired the record which he has writ-
ten,. Perhaps it is partly her exaggerated
pnde in her own literary skill which has belore
l>eeu manifested by her independent appear-
stnoe in print; more probably it ia her desire
to do full justice to the memory of her illus-
triouB consort, whose death she has so long
and BO sincerely moumed ; bat w^hatever the
motive, her own private eorrespoadeace, as
irell a9 that of the Prince, seems to have
"been placed almost unreservedly at Mr. Mar-
tin's disposal. And whether it is Lord John
Rassell, Baron Stockman, or her royal rela-
■tx9 es in Belgium to whom she writes, she never
tirev") of celebrating tbe tact, the goodness qf
Jieant, and the many other sterling quaHties
ot hei' hnsband, while she takes a sincere
and almost childish pride in his pubho ap-
pearanoies and in his oratorical successes. Thus,
in 1848, whea Loais Philippe wa« dethroned,
and the revolution in France threatened to bo
followed by distnrhanoea in other parts of the
;Con£inent, the Queen writes to Baron Stock-
xoan: " You know how attached I am to that
country (Germany;) howl longed to see our
little colony again. Yon will, therefore, imag-
ine easily how deeply grieved I am to see the
jweeent state ot things; for in their present
wild madness they tear down all that was good
and useful as well as what oaght to be de-
gtroyed. It is wonderful to see how my dear
prince bears up under so much anxiety and dis-
-tress ; for there one must feel, if one loves one^
'coontry and sees the awftil state things have
j(ot into. But he is full of courage, and takes
Buoh a large and noble view of everything that
lie overlooks trifles, and . looks solely to the
general good." Again, when the Prince
delivered an address befbre tbe Boyal Ag-
ricoltural Society at York, Baron Stock-
man is thns informed ot the event by bis
royal correspondent : " The ' Prince's vis-
it to York was a complete triumph, and he
oras most entbosiastioally received. He made
eaiother most successful speech, and ho is him-
aekf qaite astonished at being such an excellent
spevker, as he says it is the last thing he ever
dreamt heshould have success in. He possesses
oneotiier quality, which is Hact,' he never says
B word too much er too little." Two years later
•—in 1850- — after a masterly speech by Prince
Albert, giving hie view of the scope of the In-
dustrial R.Thibition, which he orisnnated, and
-which he -was then so earnestly promoting, the
Queen writes.to King Leopold : "Albert is in-
deed looked up to and beloved as I could wish he
should be ; axid the more his rare qualities of
mind and heart are known the more will he be
understood and appreciated. People are
much struck by his great power and en-
ergy; by the great self-denial, and oon-
etant wish to work tor others, which
are ao striking in his character." In
1851 the Prince presided at the one hundred
and fiftieth anniversary of the Society for Prop-
ai'ating tbe Gospel^ and made a speech which
drew forth the remark from Lord John Sus-
sell, in a letter to the Queen, that '* he ob-
served with great pleasure that the speech of
the Prmee bad an excellent effect. With many
♦dangers on every side, every word was ad-
mirable; nothing left unsaid that ought te be
gaid, and nothing said that ought to be avoid-
ed." This spoiitaneous compliment drew forth
Erom the Queen the following letter.
"We are both mach pleased at what Lord fjohn
Russell says about tbe Prince's speech of yeater-
dav. It was on so ticklish a subject that one could
not fi^el certain beforeliand hew it miebt be taken.
At the oame time, the Queen felt sure that the
Prince would say tbe rizbi. thine, from her entire
coufidence in bis great tact and jtidgment. The
Queen, at tbe risk of not apoearlni; 8a£Bcieotly
Biodesi. <and yet, why should a wife ever be modeat
about her husband's merits?) most sayttbatshe
tbiulcs Lord John Kassell will admit now that the
prince is possessed of very sxtraordinary powers of
miQd and heart. She feels so proud ot being his
wife that she cunnot refrain from paying a ti-lbute
Xo his noble cbaraoter."
To this note Lord John BuBsell replied under
iate of Pembroke Lodge. 18th June. 1851 :
•'lord John Snssell presents bis humble doty to
your Majesty, He is most gratified by the expres-
«ijD of your Majesty's sentiments, which there
would certaiuly be no merit in coneeallog. Lord
Jobnltoaselt bas long thoa<:httha Prince's character
very extraordioary- lor^ ability, jadement. iintorma-
tioD, anda svmpatny for all the jojsand sorrows of
%ia fellow creatures. These qualities m so exalted a
«iaiioD, and in such qnicksand times, are of the at-
most value to tbe nation at laigs ; and while your
^^esty derives the first and nearest benefit Irom
'than. ..thfflf extend fc«» thejeyalfayUyy to-'the
Bublects of yonr Majesty's Crown in every part of
the globe.'* ' '
To King -Leopold, in February, 1853, the
Queen writes : "Albert grows daily fonder and
fonder of politics and business, and ia wonder-
fnlly tit for both — showing such perspicuity
and such courage — and I grow daily to dislike
them both more and more. We women'are not
made for governing ; and if we are good
women, we must dislike these masculine oc-
cupations I But there are times which force
me to take interest in them, malgri bongri,
and of course, therefore, I fed this interest now
intensely."
One more familiar -and characteristic letter
to King Leopold, apropos to Prince Albert's
birthday, is all that need be quoted in addition
upon this suhieot — the admiration and affection
oftheQueenfor her Consort. Under date of
Osborne, ^th August, 1852, she writes :
"I cannot Buffloiently thank you for the extreme
kindness and affection of your two letters of the 25th
and 26th, with the inolojure for my dearest Albert's
birthday, I know well, dearest uncle, that I and
tbe nation are in a great measure indebted to you
for the' immense blessinz of bavins soch a dear and
admirable being as mv husband I God knows. If^el
how much too happy I am in possessing him. and
how much moie happiness has fallen to my lot than
I had any reason lo expect, or than I d<^8erve. He
bas indeed exceeded every expectation, for he is one
ID a thousand. With the greatest modesty, gentle-
ness, and sweetness, and tbe absence of every shade
of selfishness, he possesses a pdwerlul creative
mind, with every requiaite for our difficult times.
And this nation does appreciate liim, and fall-r ac-
knowledges what be bas done, and does do, daily
and hourly, for the country. You will forgive my
writing this, but he is yoar ereat favorite, a sort of
child of you own, in whose &aocesi I know yoa take
tbe ereaiest interest."
These expressions, although somewhat mo-
notonous in their extravagance, are, neverthe-
less, evidently serious in every word. While the
Queenappears most frequently before us in this
volume as the devoted and affectionate wife, we
also have glimpses of her as the laithtul
imother. ' One of the earliest eares of the Queen
and Prince, Mr. Martin tells us, had been to
settle on what principles the education of their
children should be eonduoted. A memoran-
dum drawn up at their request by Baron Stock-
mar displays all "a German's thoroughness com-
bined with an Englishman's good sense." It
was his conviction that "a man's eduoation
begms the first day of his life." " The
first truth," he adds, "by which
the Queen and the Prince ought to
be thoroughly penetrated is, that their position
IB a more difficult one than that of any other
parents in the Kinsrdom; because the royal
children ought not ouly to be brought up
moral characters, but also fitted to discharge
successfully ths arduous duties which may
eventually devolve upon them as future sov-
ereigns. Hence, the magnitude of the parental
responsibility of the sovereigns to their chil-
dren ; for upon the conscientious discharge of
this responsibility will depend hereafter the
peace of mind and the happiness of themselves
and their family, and, as tar as the p."osperity
and happiness of a nation depend upon the per-
sonal character of its sovereign, the welfare
of England." To these sagacious remarks Baron
Stockmar gave force by frankly quoting
the example of George 111., who, he pointedly
asserts, "either did not understand his duties
as a parent,. or neglected them if he did have a
proper sense of their importance." The errors
committed bv George IV., Duke of York, and
William IV., the Baron frankly reminds his
royal patrons, were "of the most glaring
kind." and he attributes their faults to the fact
that "their tutors were either Inoaoable ot
ingrafting on their minds during their youth
the principles of trutu or morality, or that
they most culpably neglected their duties, or
were not supported in them by their royal
parents." Mr. Martin qnalifies this statement
of the case by the suDpositioa that *' parents
and tutors might both have done their duty,
but other forces may have heen too strong for
them," and then he adds this passage from tbe
memorandum of Stockmar, which, it must be
acknowledged, is pretty plain speaking, when
it is remembered that the language' uaed was
intended for the eye of her Majesty and Prince
Albert. The Baron says:
" There can be nodoabt that the conduct of these
Princes contributed more tban any otber circum-
stance to weaken the respect and infiuenoe of roy-
alty Id this coantry, and to impair the strong Renti-
meuts of loyalty among tbe Bullish people for
which they nave been fjr centuries distinguished.
That George IV., by his iniquities, did not accom-
plish his own exclnsioD from toe throne, was uwmg
to the strenetb of me English Consti^utlon and the
S;reat political tolerance and reflection of Tbi»
practical people. The moral part of tbe nation ex-
ecrated this Prince dunng his whole life. Xevcr-
theless he expired quietly on the throne; his
brother, York, after all his blunders and errors,
was able to regain some partial and temporary
popularity. And William, who all his life bad been
anything but a moral and a wise man, went, toward
tbe close of his reien, under the endearing appella-
tion ot the 'Good old Sailor King.' "
Just here the Qeeen, as if anxious to empha-
size all tbe good that coula be said of her im-
mediate ancestors, adds this foot-note, which
she herself signs :
"And not without reason. 'Whatever bis faults
(those of 'William) may have been, it was well
known that he was not only zealoas, bat moat con-
scientious in the discbarge of bia duties as King;.
He had a truly Kind heart, and was most aoxioas
to do what was rieht. This was the character
given of bim to the Queen by Lord Melbourne and
by others who served him ; and of his kindness to
herself and his wish that sbe should be duly pre-
pared for the duties to which she was so early
called, the Queen can only speak in terms of ai-
feotionate eratitade."
Still aiiother illustration of Baron Stock-
mar's plain speaking! is given in this same
memorandum when enforcing his point he adds
that "whatever the faults of these Princes
were, they were considered by the public as tnie
JSnglish faults. I have myself heard a hundred
times the open avowaji 'that, though the
Princes were very bad, their faults were at
least truly English, and, such as they were,
the nation must make the most of them.' "
The conclusion at which the Baron arrived
was " that the eduoatiou of the royal infants
ought to be.^from its earliest beginning, a truly
moral and a truly English one," and this the
Queen emphatically Indorsed and enforced by
memoranda ot ner own, which speak
volumes not only for her own goodness
of heart but of her practical piety as well. One
of these memoranda dated March 4, 1844, winds
up thus : " The greatest maxim of all is — that
the cliildren should be brought up as simply,
and in as domestic a way. as possible ; that,(uot
interfering with their lessons) they should be
as much as possible with their parents, and
learn to place their greatest confidence in them
in aU things." The question ot religious train-
ing is also dwelt upon repeatedly, Mr. Martin
tells us, and anxiously as well. That this is best
given to a child day by day at its mother's
knees was the Queen's conviction. Even as
early as in 1844, we are told that the pressure
of public duty made it impossible to keep this
part of the education of the Princess Royal
wholly within her own hands. '"It is already a
hard care for me," her Majesty says in a mem-
orandum of 13th Noveaaber of that year, " that
my occupations prevent my being with her
when she says her prayers." But both the
Queen and the Prince maintained a constant
supervision, so that the minds of their children
should not be warped by the extreme views
which were then prominently hold by a large
section of the Anglican Church, and in the
memorandum to which wo have already re-
ferred the Queen explicitly laid down for the
guidance of the instructors of the Princess
Royal these principles, which we are told were
never lost sight of in the religious training of
the younger children. She writes :
" I am quite clear that she should be taaght to
have great reverence for God and tor reliiiiou, but
that she should have tbO' feeling of devotion and
love which our heavenly Fathsr encouraues His
•arthly children to have for Him, and not one of
feai and trembllnK ; and that the tboagrhts of death
and an after Hie should not be represented in an
alarming and forbidden view, and that sbe should
be made to know, aa yet, no difference of creed«,
ij tixinv th^t »ne can only nravonhei^^fles.^ Jarnment^
or that those who do not kneel are less fervent and
devout in their prayers."
This volume abounds in just such spontane-
ous evidence as these paragraphs afford of the
intense domestic affections of the Queen, both
as regards her husband and her children;
while looking at the picture from the other
side we have quite as abundant and as forcible
proof of the devotion of the Prince Consort to
the Queen in his constant and indefatigable
efforts to share with her the cares ot State,
and, indeed, as far as possible, to relieve her
of the irksome drudgery involved in a thor-
ough and conscientious execution of her du-
ties as something more than the nominal bead
of the Government. Thus we find Prince Al-
bert instituting the system of preserving and
classifying in separate volumes copies of all
important tjtate papers, all private correspond-
ence, memoranda of important interviews with
Ministers, and other documents relative
to public affairs, foreign or domestic,
so that her Maiesty or himself could
at any time refer with the greatest ease
to the essential details of any past transaction.
These volumes the Prince indorsed with his
own hand, prefixina; to each one a, precis of the
conteatl. From that year, 1847, lo his death,
the Prince discharged this irksome duty, and
since that time, Mr. Martin states, the
Queen herself has continue^ this system of
classifying all important State papers. A
slight indication of the labor involved in this
work is given in the fact stated by Lord John
Russell, on the authority of Lord Palmeraton,
that, in the year 1848, no less than 28,000 dis-
patches were received, or sent out, at the For-
eign Office alone. While the great mass of
these documents must be classed as unimpor-
tant, the task of arranging those which were
likely to need to be referred to, can have been
no slight one. It may be doubted whether the
Grovernmeint archives during any other period
of English history would reveal such marks
of personal attention on . the part of
the sovereign, but Prince Albert "held it
to be the duty of the Queen, whose other self
he was, that she should be, if possible, the best
informed person in her dominions as to the
progress of political events and the current of
political opinion, both at home and abroad."
To insure this, Prince Albert voluntarily as-
sumed the performance of an amount of labor
which seems almost incredible. Aa the result,
Mr. Martin tells us that the extent and accu-
racy of his infermation on every subject of
political importance impressed all with whom
he came in contact. Ministers o^ State found
him as familiar as themselves with the lacta
immediately connected with the working of
their own Qepartments. Ambassadors re-
turning from their legations were struck to
find how completely he had at command every
significant detail of what had happened within
the sphere of their special observation. Diplo-
matists going for the first time to some foreign
court, learned, in an interview with the Prince,
not merely the exact state ot affairs which they
would find awaiting them, but very frequently
had the characters of the sovereigns and states-
men with whom they would have to deal
sketched for them, with a clearness and pre-
cision which they after found of the utmost
praoticalservioe. Mr. Martin pertinently adds:
" This mastery of details could only be samed by
great and systematic labor, in itself q-jite sufficient
to absorb the energies of a busy mau. Bat to the
claims of politics had to De atlded those which
science ana art, and gaestioas of stocial improve-
ment, were constautly forcing upon tbe Prince's at-
tention. An extensive oorrospondeuce also took up
much time, and thus a comparatively xraall portion
111' every day was left for that domestic ana social
intercourse "for which the Prince wag, by his quick
observation and natural biightness of sitirit,
peculiarly fitted, and in whioh he deliffhted to
throw off for the time tbe weight Of graver oases.
He was habitually ao early riser. Even in Winter
he would be up by 7 and dispose of a great deal of
work beforo breakfast bv tbe light; of tbe green
German lamo, the original of -whiob he had brought
over with bim, and which has since become so
taniiliar an object m oar Eoglish homes. The
Queen shared his early habits ; but before her
maiesty loined him in the sitting room, where their
writiDg tables stood always side by side, much had,
as a rale, been prepared for her consideration—
much done to lighten ths pressure of those labors,
both of head and of hand, which are inseparable
from the dischargo of the sovereiijn's duties."
These running extracts will indicate the
singular freedom ef this memoir touching the
private life of the Queen anl her consort. The
picture is one which all who esteem purity,
virtue, and unselfish patriotism in those
in the highest station must contemplate with
satisfaction, while the Queen's own country-
men 3Qay point to it with pardonable pride.
In still another direction this volume is remark-
able among works of its class. There is a
ffafikness of statement in the discussion of
State affairs, and of the political history of the
period it covers, which is directly opposed to '
all the traditions of diplomacy. Not only
are the relations of England to the Conti-
nenal powers from 1848 to 1854 described
without reserve, so lar^ as the Prince
Consort had any influence in shaping tbe pol-
icy of the Government — and there was not a
question in the decision of which he did not
take, a part more or less prominent — but
strictly home politics meet with a freedom of
exposition which would provoke a dreaded
protest and some sharp controversies, if it.
were not tha Queen herself who speaks
through Mr. Martin.
While there is nothing like trivial gossip in
this volume, there arc numerous facta stated
which will amply reward the superficial reader.
Thus, we are told that there ia now in Windsor
Castle a cabinet containing a lock of Queen
Mary's hair aud a purse worked by her. The
lock of hair is large— a full ti-ess of beautiful
golden hair — very fine in texture and lull of
life, like that of a girl of fifteen. This cabinet
was brought by Queen Mary from Prance aud
given by her to the Regent, Lord Mar, from
whom it passed out ot the family of Lord Bel-
haven, who bequeathed it to her .Majesty.
Thatiremarkable man, Baron Stockmar, holds
a more and more prominent place in the
memoir of the Prince. Always conservative in
his opinion.", of a singularly clear insight into
men, frank, honest, entirely unambitious, and
possessed of the soundest sense, Baron Stock-
mar was unreservedly and deservedly trusted
^y both the Prince and the Queen. The friend-
ship and perfect confidence which continued
for 80 many years between these three was in
the highest degree honorable to each. Nor was
Baron Stoclimar without recognition at home.
In 1848 he was offered the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs under the then new Central Govern-
ment at Frankfort. The suggestion drew forth
the characteristic reply that "the man must be
simply mad who, at sixty, with gout m his
stomach, would undertake the blfice of sick
nurse to Germany, prostrate as she was with
contagious fever."
In touching upon some of the personal char-
acteristics of the Prince Consort, as they are
revealed in this volume, we have allowed the
political movements, in which he was to some
extent an unseen but often an influential actor,
to fall entirely in the background. Yet the
complete revelation which Mr. Martin, under
the sanction of tbe Queen, is permitted to make

San Fbancisco, Friday, Nov. 17, 1876.
. The society of San Francisco, if analyti-
cally, considered will be at once discovered to
be of different structural development from
that of New-York, or indeed of any of the laree
cities East. The principle of social construc-
tion in Gotham is unfortunately based upon
sectarianism, and indeed to, come closer to the
point, upon church cliques. There are a va-
riety of sets, fashionable and refined, which are
independent of this law, but it is undeniably
true of the great majority. People who elect
to live in New-York, make choice of some
church belonging to their denomination, and
through that channel find their way into the
desired social haven. There used, indeed, to be
a Knickerbocker society, before the war, but
its members have fluttered away, and have
either become the centres of small sets, or have
sunk intothe condition of satellites revolving
around some petty local sun. There is not in
the East, away from Washington, anything
which can justly be considered as general so-
ciety. In Boston, indeed, cliquism is more
rampant than in New- York, aud some speci-
mens of it, professedly liberal and aesthetic, are
Ijarticularly odious and insufferable, from their
narrowness and self-sufficiency. And there is
besides in the Hub an exclusive set whose pre-
tensions are based wholly upon their wealth,
and who endeavor to hide this fact bv ignoring
the rich people of other cities. So that the gene-
ral law is not ouly true of Now-York and Bos"
ton, but specially true of the latter.
I think it may be conceded that under such
conditions the value of society as one of the
most important motors of progress must be-
come very insignificant. Now, in San Fran-
cisco the law of structure is entirely different,
and, if I may be permitted to judge, offers
much higher promises for the future. Here
society is absolutely independent of the
churches, which, indeed, appear to me to have
neither political, moral, nor social influence. To
use the reproachful langua.i6 of the Scotch
Covenanters, they are " dumb dogs," getting,
their bones, and neither barking- nor biting.
The social world of San Francisco may fairly
be represented by a pyramid, of which the
first four steps alone concern the reader, since
these are the only ones which are likely to
have any effect upon the fortunes of tbe city.
Proudly mounted on the apex are three ■' first
families," all of whom are either Southerners
or of Southern affiliations. These three are
the McLancs, formerly of Baltimore ; the Hag-
ginses, and the Tevises. Among the members
ot this triumvirate there is a perfect equality,
and the strangers whom any one of the three
take up are at once adopted without dispute
by the others. Social matters being here
absolutely aud entirely in the hands of the
fair sex, the female heads of the triumvirate
are despots as to who shall be received and who
shall bo banned. Fortunately for tbe world of
the Pacific slope, they are ladies .of high refiue-
ages, and in all countries, and tuat an Aiiwri-
, ,, , ^. , V 1- can laay who has eaten too much and partaken
ment, much culture, and thorough believers ii^ too Ircbiy oi champagne and liqueurs suffers ex-
the old-fashioned Southern style of social ^^-i- — -■. •■ ^-^ -- . ■
any country. Probably this ought to be taken
as an exceptional case. Yet the fact is that, un-
der the two influences of isolation and of refined
leadership, tbe ladies in society here have been
compelled to develop a high degree of origin-
ality. I know that there are few who are so
artistic as the lady of whom I have written,
but originality, rather than slavish imitation, is
the rule here.
There is a curious feature about visiting in
San Francisco, which I must not faU to note.
Having been regularly introduced to several
very pleasent families, and haying attended
various receptions, I thought I would pay a
little evening visit at a very charming house.
I rang the bell accordingly, and when it was
answered by the Chinese servant, handed mv
card. "Missus not leceiving," said the yellow
minion. " Missus' night Toosday; you come
Toosday." I answered indignantly, " Take in
my card at once." But he reiterated Stoically,
"Not leception night; wait Toosday, you
come," and shut the door in my tace. I thought
this was a very queer proceeding, but, as 1 was
arrayed in visiting costume, and had made up
my mind, as the school-girls say, for visiting, I
tramped on to another house, where I had been
presented on a reception night. I rang the
bell, and a Chinese servant, another Dromio,
twin brother to the iirst, respouded. I pre-
sented my card. He took it. "Missus not
leceiving; Missus' leception night Thusday;
come Thusday." Aud he, too, shut the door m
my face. I thought to myself this thing had
gone far enough, and so I sought comfort and
instruction from the lady, who had presented
me, aud had been my social sponsor. " Bless
y#u," she said, with a laugh, "you might
ring the bell in vain at every bouse in San
Francisco, even if you were as rich as Crcesus,
instead of being a poor newspaper scribbler.
These ladies ouly see visitors when they re-
ceive, and you cannot get a glimpse of them on
any other night." "Isn't that strange?" I said.
" What does It mean i" "Well," she replied,
" 1 don't know exactly. Slanderers and gossips
say that halt the ladies are in the suds, if vou
understand that expression ; but, then, the
other half are certainly presentable on all occa-
sions and at any time. I have thought," she
continued, "that people have adopted this rule
so as to prevent themselves from being overrun
by disagreeable visits." " By visitations," I re-
joined ; "but cannot that be done without
turning away all visitors, the agreeable witii
the disagreeable, the- select with the oi polloif"
"You must not," she said, "talk Greek to a
lady in California, for she will think you mean
something highly improper. Where there are
European servants, I suppose there would be
no difficulty, but with Chmdse the case is differ-
ent, and I have no doubt that by the present
rule, many very awkard contretemps are avoided.
1, however, have the cards ot my visitors
brought to me, and if I want to see them, I say
so, and if I don't want to see them, I'm not at
home. I ouce had, however, a Ctiinese servant
who used invariably to say in the latter case,
" Missus 8Je say she not at home,' which was
callers."
which are
gorges for the exclusive delectation of the fair
sex, forms an integral nortion of this letter,
because it receives the sanction of the "three
great sisters," and must theretore be noticed
before i pass to a consideration of the second
Step in the social pyi-auiid of 8an Francioco.
The long lunch is a stand-up feast, accompa-
nied with an immense flow ot ciampagne, aud
with a sufficieney of cordials, , such as Char-
treuse and Maraachiuo, to which gentlemen are
not only not invited, but absolutely forbidden
to come, it IS a sore of revenge which the fair
sex of San Francisco has taKen as a compen-
sation and set-ott for the stag parties in which
the men of '49 delight. As these long lunches
— so called because they begm at 2 and end
at 7 — are as absolutely tiled ad the sacred
mysteries of the Bona Ueu in Rome, I cannot
reasonably be expected to give any desfription
of them. I only know that the husband pf
a lady who gives long lunches has confided
to me. as a solemn lact, that on his return to
his domestic hearth, after the holding of these
festivals, he has discovered ''indications of a
peculiar character, fhese point to the, great
truth that human nature is the same in all

intercourse. Fortunately for themselves, they
succeed to an empire founded by ladies — I
believe I might say a lady— who preceded them.
The one special lady to whom the gray-haired
sires who tell of the past invariably refer as
having more than any other contriubuted toivard
a lofty ideal of social manners in this city, was
a Scotch woman of high family, educated in
France, under the eye of a lady who was tres
grande dame, and married to a Sa|i Francisco
China merchant of great wealth. In her day
the city did not, as now, count over a quarter
of a million of inhabitants, and as society here
was always general and never split into cliques,
it was fully in her power to scamp upon it the
characteristics of her own elegance and re-
finement. Mrs. Ritchie was to San Francisco
'more than the wife of Senator Hayne ever was
to Charleston, S. C.
Having the way thus prepared for them,
" the throe great sisters, to whom the Friscans
kneel," have been enabled to exert a high in-
fluence over the whole social fabric of this cit^-.
One sees in all the entertainments of San
Francisco the secret pleadings of refined taste
overcoming the influence of commercial men.
aud the ^ barbarism of mining men.
Dinner parties here are far more prevalent than
they are in the East, and the style m which
the tables are set is captivating in the extreme
to those who are £e3theticallv inclined. The
floral decorations on such occasions are exceed-
ingly tasteful, and here the climate must be
taken into consideration as a prime factor, tor
there are flowers of some sort all ths year
round. Instead of the very stiff and formal
manner in which tables, even in New-York, are
adorned, here the beautiful blossoms are scat-
tered profusely oyer the white damask in lovely
confusion. Nothing in the way of edibles is
placed on the table, every tning being served a
la JRusse, as, indeed, is the style everywhere.
But in other cities there are too many slips and
stiff bouquets and set trellis-work of clinging
smilax. A perfect view oi the lovely femi-
nme flowers around the board is often
obscured by some pretentious centre-
piece whose inspiration seems to have flowed
more from the carpenter's bench than from a
hill-side spangled with brisht, blooming chil-
dren of Flora. And in this San Francisco style,
th°re are such pleasant opportunities offered
to the fair Sex for c quetterie. I was at a din-
ner party where a very beautiful young lady
took it into her head to demand all the dark
roses for her personal decoration. In an in-
stant all the gentlemen were eagerly diving
among the treasures upon the table for Jacque-
minot and Pride of Paris roses, and they wore
flung to hor so dexterously that the rosy rain
fell in a floral shower just in front of her plate.
Then the fair creature, herself a fairer flower,
began to stick the blossoms in her cuffs,
on iier shoulders, like the stars of a Major
General ; in a tiara on her dark hair, in a neck-
lace round her neck, and in the pierced lobes
of her pretty ears. Even her fan was deco-
rated in like manner. What a charming genre
picture Fortuny or Madrazo could have made
ot the scene.
On reception days the floral decorations par-
take of the same wild grace and unstudied
elegance, but they are on a larger scale. AU
the ladies' of any standing have receptions
once a week, and by some tacit understanding
these are arranged according to localities.
Thus, the ladies on Taylor street receive on a
Tuesday, the ladies of Bush street on a Wed-
nesday, tbe ladies of Nob llill — as a part of Cal-
ifornia street is profanely called — on a Thurs-
day, and so on. At one reception which I at-
tended, mirrors had been placed in the two
larsc buy-win dews, (bay-windows are one of
the specialties of the city,) aud then the space
had been tilled with largo flowering plants,
and with trays covered wiih green moss on
which flowers had been arranged with a free
hand. The room was lari:e and broad, and
fr«m the richiy paneled cciiiug were siispond-
ed two gasoliers of cut glass, from whicli came
floods of light. Opposite to each bay-window
was a large mirror, wuich formed a part of tbe
rej;ular decorations of the room, and so by re-
flection the visitors seemed surrounded, on
every hand with flashing lights and gorgeous
flowers. The eflect was singularly artistic, and
laespoke in the mind of the lady who conceived
it a degree of sensibility to tUe beautitul and
Wf origiaBlitimdeaiitn vericjcaxejn_>uxx,eiticaL.
actly with the same anguish aud is relieved by
the same effort ot nature as the Egyptian lady
whom four thousand years ago an audacious
fresjo painter delineated in one of the vast tem-
ples, aud or which there is a pleasing /ac simile
in the British Museum. The swarthv beauty
has fallen from her chair, to a leg of which she
clings witn one hand, while the other is waved
in mingled janguish and disgust at the stream
which an ofl'ended stomach is loreing violent-
ly from her lovely but disteuded mouth.
This surely must be a reiic ot the old mining
times, when the wives of the mining lords ffot
together and voted tnat they would have as
good a time as their husbands when the latter
went on pi'olonged sprees. The in^uence which
the mining element still has even over the best
society of JSan Francisco is proved by the fact
that the three reigning families are afraid to
give up the long lunch for fear of imperiling
their empire. In nay next letter I shall con-
sider the second step m the pyramid — the rail-
road aristocracy ot San Francisco. G-ak.

THE B.ALLOT OP THK FKEKDME.V KEEPING
THE " JEWEL OF LIBEKTV IN THE FAM-
ILY OF FREEDOM."
To the Editor of the Kew-Orleans Bepuhlican :
Dear Sib: In contemplating the present
peiilous crisis the remarkable fact stands out boldly
that tbe freedmen's ballot in the three Siates to
give the final decision of the Presidential contest
saves the Bepublican Party from a premature dis-
aster. "With all its prestige as the preserver of the
national unity j its heroes and martyrs crowned by
a halo of glory to be reverenced by future genera-
tions: lis physical valor as the promoter ot '• Gov-
ernment ot the people, by the ptoole, and for the
people," m its nigbest sense on inis coatiuent, it
bas come witbia an Electoral vote of a aefear, ami
victory la to be awarded the astonlabed " Boys in
Ijlue" by the poor " contraband of the war " whom
they were slow to liberate and enfranchise.
When the telegraph announced the thrilling in-
telligence ihat Republican victory depended upon
Loaisiana, my thoughts almost instantly recurred
to tbe letter of President Lmcoln, addressed to Gov-
ernor Michael Hahn. in the earliest period of re-
conarroction. It may be found in Kaymond's
'^^ Life, Speeches and Public Services of Abraham
Lineoin," as follows ;
Executive Maxsio.v, (
"Washington, Marca 13, 1864. >
JGTon. Michael Hahn :
My Bear Sik : I congratulate you on having
fixed your n^me in historv as the first free State
Guveriior ot Loaisiana. Novr, you are about to
have a conyeution, which, among other things, will
probably define the elective irauehise, I bareiy sag- ,
tost, for .your private consideration, whether some
of the colored people mav not be lot in. as. for lu-
Btauce, the very intelligent, and espeaially tliose
who have fougiit gallantly in our rank^i. They
would probably he.p, sin some trying time to come,
to keep tlie iewel of liberty in the family of free-
dom. But this ia only a suggestion, not to be
puDiio, but to yoa alone. Truly yours,
A. LINCOLN".
Have iwe not reached the verification ot the
prophecy? I* not tbe ray ot hope ou the auxiouA
f.ices of the friends of the 'IJiiion caused by
ttie fieeiiman'« ballot keepinu tbe jewel of liberty
out of the lianda of confederate Democracy, ana in
the family or party of freeUom ! Verily, it seems
to be a providoniiil iaterposiii'm to awaken the na-
tion from the too carelcsB Dulicy purauod of late
years Dy which the defenseless allies of the Grov-
erument have been subjeciod to unprovoked as-
saults from eueuiies that should be silent or van-
quished. The policy of equal justice to the freed-
mau in the matter of civii rnjbta baa b tints ample
fruit to esiabliub its wislom. Tbe blacc allies have
fouj;ht tor tbe Umon as nobly in the civil as they
did in tbe military arena.
A singular euincidonce is tbis : Got. Hahn, whom
Lincoln so sagely counseled, was the able Snper-
visor of Registraiion in the late election who per-
sonally directed the making up of the reeord and
aided in too fulbllment of its design. Lincoln was
assasainateo, aud Gdv. Hahn narrowly escaped ^
similar fate in tho July riot of 1866, at the prompt-
ing of a like spirit, 'ibe counselor may not witness',
but the hnmble servant does witness the trying
tune come, and the retention of the "jewel ol lib-
erty in the family ot tieedom" — the election of Gen.
Hayjs by the ireedmau's l)allot.

The new census of Massacuu^ette shows the
pofinUtion ot the State to be 1,651,912, a gain in ten
years of 384,881, or 3a38 oer cent., against 11.89 per
cent, gain from 1855 to 1865. There are 794.383
males and 857,529 females. Toe nnmber of females
to every 100 males was, in 1855, 105.87 ; 1865, 110.46,
and in 1875, 107.95. Since the first oenana of Hassa-
chusetts there has been an excess of females, the
percentage of females to tbe whole popalatiaa vary-
ing from . 50.52. the lowest, In 1840, to 52.48. the
highest, in 1865; the latter percentage, in 1865, be-
in e due, in a great degree, to tbe effects of the
war. The centre of population of tfae State ia within

THE FENIAN B US IN ESS.
IHE TIMES' ELEVTIOX RETURyS.
From the O'jdcnsburg Journil, 2>ov. 22.
Twenty-four hours after the polls closed on
the nitfht of election it became clear that Thk New-
YoJiK Times was the only paper in this country
that had tho means at its own command of securing
cirrreot ID formation fr.im all the States and Terri-
toiios. Although I'llK TLMES stood almost alone in
cl. iiiilnj; — IS against the r6;iular press disnatches
and special information of othei- leaiiiug p;ioer» — that
Hayos and Wheeler were probably elected, so great
was the confidence in it that its W(jrd was iienerally
acceoted by the Bepublican prens of the country ss of
greater weight than the opiniou,-! of all other Me-
tropolitan Journals tosether. "We have relied upon
XuE Times for. correct iuformation, and have re._L_the fionAW-'
a vermont vivw of the scare— possibil-,
ities of the case.
From the Burlington (Vt.) Free. Frets, Nov. 24.
We have no authentic information that a
fresh !Fenian raid against Canada is in prenaratiou.
on the "Vermont border, and we do not believe that
anybody else baa. Butnobotiy can say that it is
impossible that such should be the case. There
happen to be some permanent elements in the case,
wiiiuh should uot be overlooked in a caloulatioh of
t.je chances of a renewal of the Penian
follies of former years. In the first place,
there is still a Ft^nian organization in
this coantry, coatrolied by O'Donovau Kossa, and
other irishmen, who bitterly hate England; who
probably make it worth their while to maintain a
Feman treasury ; and who, doubtless, atili secure
contributions, in greater or less amount, professed-
ly for hostile operations. Of coarse they are glad
to have an occaaional fresh exhibition of Canadian
apprehension, and there are Irishmen perhaps who
ibiuk their money well spent if they only secure
by It an occasional " scare " acrosii the Hue.
Then — a fact perhaps not widely known — there
are quantities of Fenian arms and equipments
stored away in the northern part of tuis State.
Alter tbe failure of the Fenian raid of 1870, Gen.
Foster, as United States Marshal, collected a large
quantity of tbe Fenian muskets which had been
used in that insane enterpnse, and shipoed same
niue or ten car-loads of them to Washington.
These, if we remember right, were Bubsequentl;
returned to tbe Fenians, and were stored at Troy
in a building which was subsequently burned, with
the mu.tketii iu it. These muskets were not good for
much — being an old musket altered into a breech-
loader, iu some cheap way, with a cast-iron breech
pin, whiiib did not stand mu;h firing. i5ut aoch aa
thev were, there were a good many of them pro-
vided— enough to arm a much larger force thau
mustered under Gen. O'Noil. Most or those actually
iiseU were seized by the United States autborities,
or .scattered among speculators; but the reserve
stock was never touched or brought into the
field. We have good reason to believe
that quantities of these arms, with equip-
ments and ammunition, are still stowed
away in hogsheads and boxes, in barns and other
hiding-places in charge of Irish farmers along tbe
frontier. Ol course, they are no more serviceable
tban they proved to be before, and the belts and
baveraacKS have probably suffered some from de-
cay; but as long as tliey are there, there is strong
temptation lo ontliusiastic Hibernians to use them.
Su be would be a bold man who, under all these cii-
cumscances, would undertake to say that a third
Fenian raia is an impossibility. Whether the ru-
mors that something of the sort is now on foot
are anything but sensational yarns is another ques-
tion. ^

'• In his farewell concert yesterday. Mr. Feinlnger
gave us another occasion to admire his extraori-iinarv
talent. He unites to the greatest executi'in ever at-
tained on the violin a wonderful depth of feeling, thus
meriting to rank among the gieatest arusts in his
Hu^ .Mrs. Feinlnger, ton, captivated her audience by
the sympathe,io nuality of her voice, her admirable
style, and her facility or execution," &.■., &c.
From the Cntrlach Weekly, (Oermany,) Aprii 1, 1875.
"Mr. Feinlnger is a violinist ot the very fir»t r.itik.
He displayed his many-sided tJent by playing, after
different classical works, Paganini's " Witche-.' Dance,"
and his performance of tliis immensely difficult piece
may fairl.y be considered unrivaled. The merits of
his playing were greatly enhhnced by the intelligent
and highly sympathetic piano accompauiments of Iiis
wife. So perfect im enaemfcJe is rarely hearJ," &.c, tc.

In making their annual appeal for help, toe TnuWML
' nrgeatl.v present the claims of this inatltation to tbtf
4 pubUc, because :
i First— Tbe institution is almost entirely dependenli
I for its support upon the voluntary gitta of the public.
' Second — It is j^.'OOO in debt, becaose the eontcitm*
> tions of the past year have not been equal to tite necea^
' eary expenses.
Tbird- It is entirely tinseetariss in Ita yrork; alk
classes, all creeds, all nationalities sre reeeiTed anA
cared for.
Fourth— Tbe neeessitiet of the poer are greater thai^
ever before, as is evldeiit by fireouent apphcations tO(
ta.;e children from parents rt'sjiectalHe and worthT.i
who heretofore have been able to care for their ow
spring, but who are now, by reason of the lack ot
work, eniirely unabie to support their families.
Fifth — It never closes Us doors to th» cries maA
wants ot tb- very poorest chDdren, except from lack:
of means, and has admitted sach even when laqcely w
debt believing that the Gr»«t Master who cares tor all
would own and bless the efforts of the institution.
Sixth — It has no ^r^ent or coUector to whom a ooBs-.
misston wonld have to be paid, bence every dollar ioi
enended for tbe support of tbe house.
■The following is a statement cf tbe year's irark:
1,027 persons siieltered. fed. and wboUy or partly
clotbeu : 422.580 meals given ; 3.7t>4 artlt^M «4

PRAYING BY THE BEDSIDE GIT A SICK
OlilLD THAT 1T.8HOULD DUE — A LAWYER
- BETWEEN IWO^STOOLS — A WIFE WITH A
EORMER H08BAND LIVING AND A HUS-
BAND WITH A DIVORCKD WIFE MAtED.
A very remarkablo state of social relations
fTAS brought to light In the Stu>erlor Court, Special
lerrn, betoro Jadge Sanford, yesterday, on an ap-
pUaation to sat aside or modify a decree in tlie di-
vorce aoit ot Madeline A. Stri<^land againat George .
W. Strickland. The plaiatifi'a story, aa told in ber
kffidavit. Is as follows: She says that the action is
broagbt to procure a alvoroe from the t^jfendsnt,
UBd that she believes that a decree has been eieoed
in the action grantinE her a dirorce on the ground
vt the defandant'a adultery, bat that the decree has
aat'yet been entered. She then goes on to say that
she met the defendant in April, 1873, at No. S23
Schermerhorn street, Brooklyn, where she, her
mother, her sister, and the latter'a husband were
boardinf. The defendant was boarding in the
same honae and represented himself as a widower.
She conhnuea:
We were acquainted about two months when he
toUcited mo to marry bitn, which at that time I
relased. Mv niother and myielf then lei't Broolc-
)yn and engaged board, for the Sammer, acFordham,
Westchester County. We bad been at Eordham
but one week, when defendant followed ,and en-
(;:q;ed board lu Uie same faoase, and again constant-
ly entreaied me to marry him. 1 flnalljr consented,
beadTisiDjf roo not to let my mother or friends
know anything about It until after we were mar-
lied. Ue said he was acquainted with a minister
a^ .Bafunne, N. J., and be would malce all arrange-
ments with him for us to be married in charcb, and
that he aisu knew a gentleman and his wii'e in iTew-
York whom he would get to go with us as wit-
nesses. Their names were £ wen— strangers to me.
Toey are nuw, I believe, living somewhere in
Williamsburg. Mr. Strickland was very anxioas
that I should not let any of my family or friends
iuoir soy thing about the arrangements nntil after
we Were married, as he said he knew tbey would
laido all sorts of obstacles and influence me against
bias. I coaseuted to bis Wishes, thinking the only
moiive ha bad in wanting me to keep it secret was
Itist he wanted tu create a surprise. We were mar-
ried.at Bayonae, K. J.. Dy HeV. , on the — day
ot' ' . J was married by tOe name ot Madeline A.^
Xarlin. I saopose my legal name was Madeline A.
Pariseu. Parisen was m.r maiden name, and I as-
sumed the name of Larkih under the toilowing air-
cnmstances. In tne >^ear 18 — I became acquainted
itvlth Larkln. who represented himself to be a
tMagle man, and with whom, after going through the
iceremooy of maraage, 1 lived as bis wife, and went
'Ihj his name unifl on or about , 1870, when
il discovered he batl a wife liviag, and X separated
Irom hini. As I h.»d been known as his wife, and
IfeV the nsme of Larkln, I tboagbt I shoald batter
avoid the scandal and disgrace of my connection
with the said -< — liarkia bv contlnaing to use that
name and to represeint myself as a widow. When
-tbe dtf jncant asked me to marry him, and before
vr^ were married, I revealed to him my conneciiou
-with said L<irkin, and told him truly my posi-
tion, and hs married me with a fnll knowleago of all
tbe circumstances. At the time of my marriage
irith tbe defendant I was possessed of a large and
Talnabls wardrobe, a quantity of {ewels, and solid
nlverware; also of aburiallutin Green- Wood Ceme-
tery, in which were iaterred the remains of my
standmotUer. Defendant, before my maixiage with
•Eim, lepresented iiiiuseif as a widower, and con-
cealed from me, what I afterward learned waa the
iact. that he was divorced from his lotmer wife, and
that she was still livlne, and be was prohibited from
marryms again — ^which, as Isuppose, was the reason
for tne detenUantUAkiug mo to Ken-Jorsey to be
Xiarried to him."
XXOWEBS VOB, A OSANSMOiaEB'S Q&XYB.
The plaintiff iihen goaa on lo say that the de-
/dudant, about sixj weeks after tha marriage, came
]}oaie in mx. angry mood and wanted some money.
She told Urn 11 wasimpossible for her to get him
say, bat she- was willing to sell ber ease of solid
Bitrer and ber jewelry. Thia was at the time of
the i>anio of 1873. After the money obtained by
the aaJe of tbe articles mentioned was gone, tbe de-
fentiant became abusive in his language, "and
thecaguin he seemed to be sorry, and,_finally, after
BeBing sither articles, indnding some of my
clothing, '*< she sayi, "he persuaded me to let bim
Ktlvertise ax'd sell my plot in Green-^Vood, and he
Itad my gtan^ mother's remains removwd to a single
I^Tave." He retoiyed fSOO for the plot,\and refused
liflc money to ba) flowers to put on the ■ new grave
of ber grandmatber. She says -. that ' after the
maney was gons I be again became abusive,
mad told her - that be would lead
iker such a dog's life that ■ she woold
;lisve to clear out, . "and that he.hated me and
any woman he bad toWork for; that, hd only mar-
ried me tainking I - was rich and . had -plenty
of money ; that b« n>^vor liad, nor ' ever would
work to take care of any*wife.'t She says j the de-
fendant also struck bar so that she became>, insensi-
ble. She had beard in tbe,meanume tbatUbe de-
fendant's first wif J had obtained a divorce from
him in tbe Supreme Court, Brooklyn, before J udge
CUbert, on acconnt of.tbe defendant's crnel treat-
ment and bis adultery,^ and that tbe ^defendant's
ftrat wife bad married'a Dr. Snively '^brother to
tboEcv. Dr. Snively, Hector ot Grace Church,
Brooklyn. The plaintiff called. on the Hector, she
■ays, and he ^ told ber that the defendant was
a wretched '. adventurer, who had only
married ber v thinking ' she bad money.
The Sector also told her that tbe defendant bad
treated his first wire badi/, and that his [ibe Rec-.
tor's! brother bad married her when she and her

«iace aied. After the plaintiff's interview wicb the
Itector she returned home and told her husband,
hbe defendant, of what she bad beard. The defend

,he wanted to get riil of her. After this the defena-
aut left tbe p.aintifi°, she bein£ ^ entirely homeless
'and peniless.
A LAWTEE nr THE CASE.
Jhe says she tbea remembered that a school-mate
•f hers had married a lawyer named Douglas A.
Xrevien, Jr., and on finding out the latter 's address
•ne called on blm, and told bim her circumstances.
By Mr. Levien's advice she called on the Commis-
aioners of Charities and Correction, and tbe de-
ifendaut was put under bonds to pay i5 per week
'for a year. She obtained a position in tbe family of
tune Thompson, in Connecticut, where she gave
imtisle lessons and assisted in sewing, &c. When
Jtho year was nearly out she says she called upon
'3£r. Levien, and inquired of him as to what she
eiM>nld do. Lavien told ber be would send for the
defendant, and wanted her to call again in a few
aays. When she called again Levien told her he
liad ', seen the defendant, and that tbe
only thing for ber to do was to cooseut
to a^jdivorce. Levien told her, she says, that
If she did not consent to take a divorce froiii Strick-
land he ^ould get a divorce trom her. He saia that
21 r. StrlCk'tland would give bim evidence so that he
f j4r. LevituJ conld get her a divorce, and that Mr.
btriclfland i«ou.<d pay 1260 a year alimony. She bays
Mx. Levien said that Mr. Strickland knew a man by
toe name Of Lloyd, }To. 29 Broaaway, in the store
ugencv bnslneiis. whom be would get to give JSlr.
Laviuii all the t^vidence be wanted, and that all »Ue
would have to do would be to go with him | Levieu]
to Mr. Boese's oflice and answer a few qaostiona.
Tbe reniaioder of the story is given in the plaintiff's
vwn words :
"I went with binr to Mr. Boes6's office, and Mr.
Boer<i was not there. We saw auother gentleman,
and Mr. Levien requested bim to take my state-
ment. *I do not know the gentleman's nsme, but
lie la in the same otli^ie with Mr. Boes^. He asked
.jnc if I was Mr. Siricklaud't wire, and -when and
wuore I was marrieii. While answering him tbo
man by tbe name of Lluyd came in, and then Mr.
'Xevieoi told lue 1 bad i>etter go over and wait at hia
vlSce, as there were questions to ask of Mr. Lloyd
Hot necessary for me to hear. I went, auU on Mr.
XevienOs rrtiurn to bis office he said he would wunt
me to coime down from Stamford again in a few days
and see Air. Buen^, and uwear 10 a paper tbey
woald have ready for me. I told him I woui'd
liot answer any question that was not the iruth or
avear tu any false statement; that this was all a
}alse,made-up case between him and Mr.iStrica land,
aud that it wa« nil wroQg and that he 'was only ad-
vising ine toittaiscamrse, ao'tbat ho got his $100 coun-
sel foe from Mr.Strickland. He said! was aotiug very
wrong and foolish.and that I would never get a oeut
for my support irom Mr. Strickland without I con.
aenteu to ais advice. I went home to think what
was best to do. I was entirelv without moans,
obliged to borrow moneyof Mrs. Thompson to come
up and down to tbe Cit.y ■with, and in arrears for my
Voard with Mrs. Thompson some 315, and there
aeemed no way for me to turn but
to uouaent to Mr. Strickland's and Mr. Levien's ad-
'vioe. I wont down againto Mr. Levien's office, uut
ie was not in. While I was waiting Mr. Strickland
came in, and lie said: "If you will go right awuy
over to ^Lr. Boep6's and sign a paper be has ready
for Ton there, I will give you 1100 when you come
back on sccouat of your ilrst year's alimony,' and,
in my anxious, tortured state of mind, 1 went and
ait:ned tbe paper which Mr. Boes6 read over tu me,
' and he asked me before I signed it if I was aware
of any oomplioity between Mr. Strickland,
3Ar. Levien, and .myself, (he did not exactly
n.sa these same words, but I know be
loeant the sarac.) and 1 answered him,
' 'No.' I knew I had answered him falsely, fori
kiii-w ill my heart how it had all oeen arranged, but
in luv di»tTaeted miud, circumstanced as I was, and
uot wanting to expose my affairs any further to
»th»r«, 1 tcnow no other altoraative. After signing
:' tlin paper I went back to Mr. Levien's office, and
Mr. Strickland would not give me bat ISO of the
mjudrHU ha bad promised me, I waa so worn cat

as it wasthe Satuidav before the Fourth of July.
Mr. Strickland said: 'The other (50, and the bal-
ance of your first year's alimony, yon shall have as
soon as the aivorce is recorded.' ^Mr. Le-vien oamo
in Jnst as 1 was leaving, and' he said : . ' It la
all liaht, Mrii.,Scriokland, I will see that you are
well secured and get good bonds for tbe balance of
your alimony.* I now began to think that there was
a good deal of wrong going on between Mr. Strick-
land and Mr. Levien, and Mr. and Mrs. Thompson
asked me on my retnm home what way Mr. Levien
had or what security that I would get the balance
of my alimony. They said they did not think I was
acting wisely in only taking Mr. Strickland's and
Mr. Levien's word for it. 1 then wrote a
short note to Mr. BoesS, (he was at
West Hambnrg at the time.) telling him
to please not do anything further In the case
of Strickland vs. Sti-ickland until he saw me. I
mailed the let'er to Mr. BoeF6 the da.y before I saw
tbe death of iTndge Monell in the papers. It was
before i/udge Moneil that rov case was to be decided.
When I saw Mr. Boesfi to tell him I wanted him to
know how I was secured for tbe balance of my ali-
mony, be told me there had been no decree tor ali-
mony, and that my case had been decided by Judge
Speir, but not recorded as vet, and that be did not
receive my note in time. 1 have received from Mr.
Levien during the month of July S25, also during
the mouth of August $2o, which made up the bal-
ance ot the ^100 which Air. StrickLind was to bavo
paid me when 1 signed the paper."' The
plaintiff then goes on to say that
she owed $83 to tbe lady with whom
she was boarding, and that sbn waa without means
of payment. She sought Mr. Levien, who had told
ber be bad tlOO from ilr. Strickland for her. Mr.
Levien gave the son-in-law of the lady with whom
she was boarding a check for 883. Levien then Itft,
pi'omisiug to return In five minutes with the re-
malDiog $17. He did not rotorn, however; and she
has never seen bim since. The check for #83 was
dishonored. Another given in its stead shared a
similar fate, but has since been made good. In
conclusion, the plaintiff avers : "At the time of giv-
ing the 583 chaok Mr. Lovieu wautwd me to elve
Mr. Strickland a release in full, also a note to one of
the Judges of this court stating that I was satisfied
with his, (Mr. Levien's.) conduct. I was in dauijer
of starvation, and told Mr. Lavieu 1 must do some-
thing to get my clothes released and means to buy
food. The idea of this action was proposed to mo
by Mr. Levien, in tbe interest, as I believe, of Mr.
Strickland, who has paid Mr. Levien his costs in
the suit; and throughout, Mr. Levien has bsen
actlngfor Mr, Strickland and againdt me. * * *
I am now m absolute want ot the necessaries of
life. I have sold or pledged almost every article I
possessed, and bavo nothing lef r. but the clothing
that severs me, am in arrears with my rent, and
have no friend or relarlou to whom I can go or from
whom I may expect assistance. Mr. Strickland has
threatened that if I proceeded against bim for
means ot support, he would leave toe country Jifather
than make me any further payments."
THE defendant's STOKT.
The defendant makes affidavit thac he became
acquainted with the plaintiff in about the manner
stated by her. He denies, however, that she ever
refused to marry him, or that he followed her to
Fordham, or that be asked ber .to con-
ceal the marriage from ber mother or
friends. He denies that she admitted to
him bef3re marriage her connection with Larkin.
He says he did not represent him:ielf as a widow-
er, nor conceal from her the lafct of his divorce and
the prohibition from marrying again. He denies
the getting otthe money, the sale of tbe silver, and
cf the plot in Green -Wood, and the accompanying
allegations. He save she never asked for money to
buy flowers to put on her graudmotbur's grave. He
denies tbe allegations about leading her "a dog's
life," &c. He denies that she tola him about her
conversation with the Rector. He denies the
statement about telling her to goto Mr. Boes6's and
signing a paper. He denies the coming iu of
Mr. Levien, and the latter's saying ic
was all right, &c. He says there never was
a prcposal to give her $2ti0 alimony per year,
as stated. He also makes speoidc denial of ibe other
allegations, and goes on to say that iu April, 1873,
he, with his inlanc cjiild, was boarding at tbe piace
in BroeklyD, aua that the plainiitf came there rep.
reseniiag herself to be tbe widow of one William
LarUo. The defendant aa.ys lie became acquainted
with her, and that iu June, 1873, she proposed to
bim to ootaiu board for himself and ;cbiid at Ford-
bam. She did so obtain board for them. Her
mother w^as not at Pordham. BeiiCTing that tbe
plaintiff was a woman of good character, &c., be
says be married her wiibout knowing auylhiug of
the Lart:ii> episode. She had told nim that
Larkln bad been dead for three years, and that she
was bis widow. Sae sold the burial Int and kept
the money, he says. In regard tu his concealing
the fact of bis divorce, &c., be says he did not do
80, bat told her about it, and also that be had a
right to marry oat ol tbe State, as be had been in-
formed by conusel. He says that after marriage
she becam e extremely jealous of his affection'tor
his little dangbter. He says he was often alraid to
have the child at home, and that the latter begged
him not to leave ber alone. He found out the Lai-
kin matter, he says, about a year after tbe mar-
riage. He says she wasnever married to Larkln, but
lived with bim as bis mistress. On finding
this out tbe defendant says be left the plaintiff and
has since refused to live with her. He says the
plaintiff has a violent temper, and that at one time,
when his child lay siok iu boa with scarlet fever, her
ungovernable jealoas rage took such possession of
her that she knelt by the bedside of the delirious
child and prayed that God would not permit it to
live. He then says be called ou Mr. Levien to see
about obtaining a divorce from the pLintitf on ac-
count of her former relations with Mr. Larkin.
He says, however, that Levien acleU for
the plaintiff, and made him pay tbe latter
$3 per week. He says Levien asked him to present
to bim in written form the proofs he had to sustain
the charges he made against the plaintiff. This
the defendant says he did, bat, uot bearing from
Levien, be went to tbe latter's office and toid him
he would proceed at once with his suit for divorce.
Levien begged bim, he says, not to be too hasty, ou
account of the irreparable injury which would be
done to bis wife's character. He appealed to the
defendant's manhood to allow the plaintiff to pro-
cure a divorce, as "it would not injure a man's rep-
utation to have a divorce granted against hiiu, while
It would injure a women's." The detendaut says
be was in straitened pecuniary circumstances at
the time, and Leyien set before him the great e'x-
pcnse and delay that would nicessariiy be entailed
if tbe defendant instituted proceeuings, and he
[LevienJ would be compelled to defend the same.
Subsequently Levien told him that his cliant. the
plaintiff, had instructed bim to commence the suit,
and that he would be compelled iu her behalf to
make a motion for alimony and counsel fee. It was
'finally agreed between iheia that rhu defendant
jshouid pay $100 as conusel fee and ?260 to the plain-
tiff in lieu or alimony. The defenaant says he
consented in order to avoid publicitj-. He says he
has paia all tbe alimsny and nearly all of the coun-
sel lee. He says iurther, be never urged her to
bring ber suit lor divorce, nor gave her or Levien
au.y information bv means of which the proof of
adultery was to be furniiheU. He says he had to
borrow nearly all the money to make the pavments,
and that he is now nearly destiiute. He says he
makes only five bundled dollars per jear iu his
business oS real estate agent, and has uo other
means of support.
THE LA-VyTEE'S EXPLANATION.
Mr. Levien, in bis affidavit, first makes a general
denial of the plaintiff's allegations against him. He
then goes on to deny the manner cf making her ac-
quaintance, as stated by ber. Hij wife never was
a class-mate of the plaintiff, the latter having ad-
•vanced beyond the years of schooling before his
■wife yfras born. He made the piaintifl''s acquaint-
ance, he says, in 1866 or 1867, at a reception given
by her at Englewood, where she was living as the
wife of a man named Larkin. He says that about
a year and a half ago, she caaie to him and told him
that Larkln was dead, and that she had since mar-
ried a second busbaud, who neglected and re-
fused to provide for her, and that she was
in need. Peeling pity for her, 3dr. Levien says he
helped her pecuniarily and piofessiuUiiliy, and
after considerable trouble and loss of time succeed-
ed by legal process in compelling the defendant to
give her a certain sum per week for ber support.
In March, 1876, the defendant called at his office,
he sa.^s, and informed bim that he had evidence of
the plaintiffs immoral eharactar. Mr. Levien then
gives the particulars cf .ibo Larkin matter sub-
atantiall.v as given by the defendant. Mr. Strick-
land at the time told Levieu he wonlj
give the plaintiff no more mouev. Levien
afterward told the plainiiff of what Mr.
Stiickland had said. She first denied
but atierward admitted us truth, and implored Mr.
Levien to save her from exposure and scandal. Ho
Bays that to avoi.l scandal, and at the sime lime to
tre* the plaintifi from a man whom ahe charged was
utterly worthless and unpriucipled, he saw the de-
fendant, and by urgent appeals to ibe lattor's man-
hood and cupiuity prevailed on him to promise to
.make 110 opposition to divorce, proceedings should
they be instituted by the plaintiff. The alimony
matter is explained uy Mr. Leviun just as the
detendaut siatos it. He demoH tlie sratement
about the bonds. Ho says that 11 517 is Uue
to the plaintiff ho is ready and willing to pav the
money. Ueuenies all collmiou with the dotondant,
and says he never received a dollar from the plain'-
tlfl'.
The matter came up before Judge Sanford on a
motion to snbstitnte John Towushend as the plain,
tiff's attorney iu the place of Mr. Levisn, as well
as to modify or set aside the decree. Judge San-
ford referred tha matter to William C. Trapbagen,
as Referee, to take proofs and report them to the
court, with his opinion.

Yesterday was naturally a day of quiet,
*nd tie jiews from the South is merely sap-
plemental to that of the orevioiis day. The
members of the South Carolina Board of
Canv»»aeta are a'till in jail ; the Supreme
Coore will probably render decision to-day
on the application for the order in re-
IJitiOD to. comparins the returns in the
matter of the Presidental Electors. Some
appteheoBioa is expressed that there may
be- troable when the Legislature ifeets to-
te
'morrow, but tlie order of PresidOTX Grant
on the subject ^i^^cs ample assurance that
there will be bo breach of the peace. To-
day will probably show whether the con-
troversy cannot be cairied into the
United States Courts throujih an appli-
cation to Judge Bond, of the Circuit Court,
for a writ of habeas corpus. In Louisiana,
the Northern gentlemen who went to New-
Orleans are getting; anxious to return ; and
everybody is desirous for the result to be
declared by the Returning Board, one
way or the other. The board have de-
termined to hold long sessions this
weekf and the count will probably be
finished by Friday or Saturday. The letter
of Senator Osborne on the Dernqoratic vote
in Florida will be noticed He has ana-
lyzed the returns, and finds that the Demo-
cratn vote shows a most 8in$;alar and nni-
form increase of one-third over previons
minorities. He states that this was done
in accordance with a previously- matured
plan, add by such methods as the local
managers found most convenient to adopt —
as repeating, intimidatioD, or altering the
retnms. Judge Bobertsoh, of Westchester,
returned £rom Tallahassee on Saturday. He
gives every assurance that the count of the
Tote will show a majority for Hayes.
The Board of Canvassers commenced their
work at noon to-day. Ex-Senator Foote, of
Mississippi, has written a letter in which he
completely demolishes Mr. Clarkson Pot-
ter's ingenious theories about the power of
Congress in counting the Presidential vote,
and also says something about the inter-
ference of the courts in the caavassing of
he Electoral vote of a State.

Columbia, Nov. 26.— It virill be remem-
2 chat the Supreme Court when it met yes-
f morDing, adjudged each member of the
I of Canvassers in contempt, condemned
< them to pay a fine ot $1,500 each, ana to he iza-
prisoued m the County JaU until the further
Mder of th« court. They were all arrested aud
lodged in jail the same afternoon. The
court reaasemhied at 4 P. M., aud
aoonsel for the Democrats asked the court
CO direct its Clerk to give a certificate of elec-
tion to the persons having the bishest number
of votes for members of the Legislature in
Lacrens and ^d°:etield Counties,, as ascertained
by the Board of Canvassers and reported to the
eoort. This order had been suasrested.
two days ago by Judge Moses, as a possible re-
liet to the relators from the refusal of the,
board to determine the elections in these coun-
ties. Very much to the surprise and chacrm
of the Democrats, Jadge Willard refused
M join in the order. Tiie Dsmo-
cratie counsel asked also for an order
looking to the canvass ot the returns in the
presence of the Supreme Court. This was not
zxanted. To-morrow, argument will continue
on the mandamus to compel the Board of Can-
vawers to recanvass the vote for Presidential
JBleetora, and to reject all irreguiar, imperfect,
and illegal {foils, if any are found in the pre-
tdnet returns, and report the action upon each
ease to the court for reviewAl. This would be
to make the court the Board of Canvassers,
girmg it the power to accord with
th* determination of the board woere
It ^oold help Tilden, and to mandamus the
boacd to change its determinatiou where its
action was lavorable to Hayes. The argu-
fsedc last night on the part of the board
was confined to the assertion that the
board had complete^ its work, that it had
jcased to exist, and that it eonld. not be re-
nved. It 18 confldeatiy asserted that the court
will grant the order, and it' is also confidently
asserted that every member of the board will
reftue to obey any order which will place tbem
again in the power of the court. Jadjie Wil-
lard admits that there may be doubts
about the jurisdiction of the court, but says
there ia no oourt ot reviewal, and therefore its
acts will be final.
The Le2islat:are meets on Tuesday. Certifi-
eates have been issued to bixty Repub-
licans is the House, aud to fifty-five
Democrats. Nine seats will be va-
i-aiit — those of the representatives from
Eilgefield and Laurens — certiticates having
t>e)bn refused to them. The Dstnocrats assert
that mbre than enough Republicans will be ab-
lent to give them a majority, and that the Detn-
Dvrata from Edgefield and Laur(;ns will be ad-
mitted at once. If the Republicans are not all
oere, then the excluded members will
demand to have their names called, and ^ ill
enforce the demand. A Democratio Speaker
will be elected, and will declare the election of
Hampton, and he will be inaugurated forth-
with, a-thoq^h it has Ocen usual to ao so ou
laUfBday alter the m;etinc; of the Legislature.
Tii«» Senate has tivo Kepublioau majority, leav-
ing «jtft the two Senators "from Laurens and
Edgetteld.
In reply to the assertions of the Baltimore Sun
and the unecrupulous Democratic papers here,
Judge H. L. Bond has addressed a letter to the
Baltimore .4.»i<Wcon, in which he denies that he
has been a guest ot Gov. Chamberlain, although
be has called upon him as be would do upon
the Governor of anv State where he was about
to hold a Circuit Court, provided he was an ao
^oaiutance. He then says :
'•'Gov. Cbamberlain is too well-bred a lawyer

Up to this time, {8 P. M.,) the five execudve
officers of the State remain in the county jail.

tried before the United States Circuit Court

t'rom Our Special Correspondent.
New-Ohlea_H8, Wednesday Nov. 22, 1876.
There are a number of reckless, and, lor
the most part, worthless and disreputable men,
in all sections of the country, who are iust now
talking a great deal about shoulderinc: their
muskets and driving out "the usurpers" at
the point ol the bayonet. What these men
want to tight about, or wiio " the usurpers'' are
that they are going to drive out, they
exactly know, but they have an
don't
indistinct idea that they would profit by a dis-
turbance, and consequently thev are doing their
oest to create trouble by blustering about "the
rights of the people," and " the sanctity of the
laws." . It is remarkable that they all join in
the chorus, "give us a fair count." and that
when asked what they mean by a fair count,
they can only reply that, they want " Sam Til-
den inaugurated any way." In short they are
willing to abide by the law jusc so long as its
administration does not interfere with their
desires, but when thev imaiiine that their wishes
are to be thwarted, then they declare that the
actions of the men who are charged with the
administration ot the laws are illegal, and that
their rights are being violated. Fortunately,
the people who reasoa in this way belong to
a class that has no influence. Untoptunately,
however, their wild ravin s are not only
sanctioned but secretly applauded by many of
Mr. Tilden's , prominent supporters. Among
these may be mentioned United S rates Senator
Randolph, who came to the Sauth to make an
" impartial investigation " of its condition,
and who, after being forty-eight hours In Co-
lumbia. S. C, was able to write and
publish a two columu report of the political
situation there. This gentleman and others
like him came into the Cotton States with a
mis.-tion to perform — they came to secure Mr.
Tilden's election, in spite of tha laws and in
spite of Reyjublicau majorities. There are now
in New-Orleans a number of gentlemen of this
class. Long before they came here they had
prejudged the Louisiana case, and they now
intend to haye their judgment indorsed by
the Returning Board, or to denounce the de-
cision of that board as infamous aud unlawfuL
THE LOUISIANA CASE.
It is well lor the eountry that the advice or
opinion of such demagogues as those relerred
to will not be regarded by the law-abidi»g
masses of the American people. It is well, too,
that the election laws of Louisiana are so clear
aud explicit that a school-boy can undrerstand
them, for there seems to be no doubt now that
the Presidential election will have to be decided
by the vote ot Louisiana. South Carolina and
Florida are undoubtedly Republican— there
can be no question or dispute about them.
Notwithstanding shot-guns aud riflii clubs
money and fraud, they have been triumphantly
carried by Haves and Wheeler. The KepuUli-
can Electors in both of them iiav-^ a majority
by the actual returns, aud without any
judicial action on the part of the State
jCanvasaera. In Louigiana. however, this is
not the case. As the returns come from the
parishes they will show a small majority /or
Tilden. This majority, however, was obtained
by intimidation, violence, and fraud, and upon
suflfioient proof of such intimidation, violence,
and fraud, it becomes the duty of the State
Returning Board to canvass only those parishes
where a fair, free, and honest election was held.
This is the law. If it is enforced, if an, honest
count 18 secured, Louisiana will give Ruther-
ford B. Hayes a majority of at least six thou-
sand votes. There is every reason to believe
that an honest count will be had, and that
Gov. Hayes will be declared elected President
of the United States. But no matter what may
be the decision ot the Returning Board, its
judgment must be considered final, for there is
no other tribunal in the State or in the nation
that can legally decide the Liouisiana election.
Knowing this and fearing for the result, the
friends of Tilden and the newspapers controlled
by h»m have for the past week been doing
everythinsr m their power to cast discredit upon
the gentlemen who constitute the board. It has
been wildly asserted that they were all thieves
and rascale ; they have been repeatedly accused
of every crime in the decalogue, but unfor-
tunately for Tilden's cause, not one charge has
ever been proved against them. If they are
such monsters as the Democratio journals rep-
resent them to be, why are they not impeached
and driven out of their oflSoial positions ? Why
are they not now in the State Penitentiary?
These questions can only be amswered by the
assertion that every charge which has been
made against them is false and malicious.
Such, indeed, is the fact, for, everything con-
sidered, I do not think there can be found in
the South more worthy or conscientious men
than those who compose the much-abused
Louisiana Returning Board.
PERSONNEL OF THE BOARD,
In proof of this I need only refer to their peiv
sonal history and political record. They are
natives of the South, every one of them. The
Democratic cry of " Carpet-bagger" cannot he
raised aginst them. James Madison WelU, the
President of the Board, is a native of one of the
Red River parishes of Louisiana, and still hves
on the plantation where he was born. His
father, Hon. Levi Wells, was one of the best
known and most honored citizens of the State.
He always took an active part in polit-ics, and,
in 1812, when Louisiana was admitted into the
Union, he was chosen a Representative to the
Convention which framed the Constitution of
the new State, and the son ot thie honored man
became identified with the politics of his sec-
tion early in life. He was always
a Union man, and. during the war,
suffered severely for his loyalty. In 1864, under
the Banks reconstruction scheme, he was elected
Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with Gov.
Habn. A year later, when the latter was
elected to the United States Senate, Mr. Wells
became Governor of the State. While in that
position he was highly praised by all parties for
his wise, conciliatory, and honest government.
After leaving the Governor's chair, he returned
to his home in Sapides. and did not again ap-
pear prominently in public life until 1874,
when he became a member of the State Return-
ing Board. In his capacity ol Chairman of
that body he will undoubtedly do his duty in
an impartial, upright, and fearless manner,
that will give satisfaction to fair-minded men
of all parties and ail sections.
Gen. Thomas C. Anderson, the second mem-
ber of the board, was born in Virginia,
but has lived in Louisiana for more
than forty years. During most of that
time he has been a Citizen of St.
Landry Parish, and there is no man
in that section who has done more to pro-
mote the social and material progress of the
State. . He represented his parish in the Legis-
lature for several successive years before the
war, and ever since its clos6 has held a seat in
the State Senate. In the last election he was
supported warmly by both Independents and
Republicans, and carried the Democratic
stronghold of St. Landry by a handsome ma-
jority. He is esteemed at honae and by those
whoknowhim best as one ot the most conscien-
tious and high-minded Republicans in the South.
The third member of the board, Godane Cas-
anave, is a colored man. bom in New-Or-
leans, of free parents. He was liberally edu-
cated in the French Catholic schools of the
city, and, entering business early in life, ac-
quired a considerable fortune before the war.
During all the years of Republican supremacy
in Louisiana he has never sought oflBoe, and the
position which he now holds was forced upon
him against his will.. There is no doubt that he
will discharge his duty faithfully and well.
Louis M. Kenner, the junior member of the
board, is an intelligent and well-informed col-
ored man. He represents the freedmen ele-
ment of the population, and represents it well.
He was born in Lotusiana, and has lived in the
State all his life. This, in brief, is the history
of the men who are to decide the election in
this State. Regarding the law which they are
to administer, and under which they are to act,
there can bene doubt or question. It is clear,
concise, and explicit. The clause in the act
which is most important in the present issue,
and which was designed to protect the o»lored
voters in their rights, is as follows:
" Whenever from any poll or votlne place there
snalt be received the statement of any Supervisor
of Registration or Comraissioner of Election in
term as required by section 26 of this act, on affi-
davit of three or more citizsus, of any riot, tumult,
acts of violence, intimidation, .armea disturbance,
bribery, or corrupt inflaonces whicn prevented, »
or tended to prevent, a fair, free and peace-
able vole of all qaaliSed electors entitled to vote at
aach poll or voting place, snch Returning Officers *
shall not canvass, count or compile ihe statements
of votes from nuch poll or votine place until the
Statements from all other polls or voting places
shall have t)een canvassed and compiled. The ile-
turning Officers shall then proceed to investigate the
statements of not, tumult, acts of yioloncn, intimi-
dation, armed riiiturbanco, bribery, or corrupt in-
fluences at any such poll or voting place ; ond If
from the evidence of such statement thev shall be
convinced that such riot, tumalt, acts of violence,
Intimidation, armed diaturbancos, bribery, or cor-
rupt inflaenoes did not materially Interfere with the
purity and- freedom of the election at such poll or
voting place, or did not prevent a sufficient number
of Qualified voters thereat from registering
or voting to materially change the result of
the election, then, and nut otherwise, said Raturninc
Officers shall canvass and comniletbe vote of such
poll or voting place with those previously can-
va-ised and com oiled ; but if said Returning Officers
shall not be tullv satisfied thereof, it shall be their
duty to examine farther testimony in regard there-
to, and to this end they shall have power t > send
for persons and papers. If, after such examination,
the said Returning Officers shall he convinced that
said riot, tumult, acts of violence, intimidation,
armed disturbances, bribery, or corrupt in-
flueucos did materially interfere -with the
pori'yand freedom of the election at such poll or
voting place, or did prevent a sufficient number of
the qualified electors thereof from registering ai^d
voting to matoriiilly chaniie the result of the elec-
tion, then the said Returninir Offioeis shall not can-
vass or compile the statement of the votes of such

returns ; provided that any person Interested In
said election by reason of being a candidate for
office shall be allowed a hearing before said Return-
ing OfiBeers upon makiaj; application within the
time allowed for the forwarding of the returns of
said election. ^
This law might not be a good one for Ver-
mont or JIaine, but in those States no man is
prevented from voting according to his con-
victions. In Louisianaj however, the law is a
just and good one ; but even if such were not
the case it is the law, and the Returning Board
must act Under it. No matter what their judg-
ment n:ay be, it will be a lawful one. Their
decision will be final, tor,^ of course, the Amer-
ican people will abide by the law and the
right. ^ H. C.

Sumpter County by Democratio reformers.
They were asked for passes from the Demo-

to retreat, but not before being asked for any .

SOMETHING FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO EX-
PLAIN— SENATOR Osborne's letter on
THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE — ITS UNIFORM
INCREASE OP ONE-THIRD IN ACCORD-
ANCE WITH A PLAN PREVIOUSLY PRE-
PARED BY THK TILDEN MANAGERS —
HOW THIS RESULT WAS REACHED,
Special Dispatch to the JVew-ForJ: Timet.
Washington, Nov. 26.— Ex-United States
Senator Osborne, of Florida, has written a let-
ter to a frienain this city, explaining the opera-
tiens of the Democrats in reference to the vote
in that State. Mr. Osborne has made
an analysis of the Demoeratic vote, and says
he finds that it shows at all points a uniform
increase of one-third in majorities over previ-
ous elections. This uniformity of increase is
•the result of a deliberate plan matured
prior to the election, and was secured
in various ways, the general instructions
of the Tilden managers to the Florida County
committees, to make their majorities show this
increase, leaving the methods of accomplish-
ment to the local managers. In some instances
the result was accomplished by importing and
votmg Democrats from Georgia and Alabama;
in others, by violence and intimidation, and
in some cases by altering the returns after the
polls had closed. Mr. Osborne says the fact of
the uniformity of increase in the Democratic
local majorities will be established by an in-
spection of the vote, and that the methods by
which this remarkable result was accomplished
can be satisfactorily proved by competent
witnesses.
cility or dieingennousness as should bring the blush
of shame' to the face of the most impudent petti-
fogger In Christendom."
Judge Cartter, who .was in Columbia at the
time of the count by the South Carolina Re-
turning Board, in speaking of the action of the
State Cotirt, says it has no authority under the
Constitution or law of the State for taking any
jurisdiction in the case ot the board. The law
says nothing on the pubject. and the Constitu-
tion says only, as other State Constitutions say.
That the judicial power of the State shall be
vested in a Supreme Court. The court claimed
that as the Returning Board exercises judicial
power, it is subordinate to the Supreme Court.
On this ground alone the court undertook to
supervise the business of the board. The
action of the board in ignoring the oourt is
regarded by Judge Cartter as entirely legal and
right.
Judge Taft has been examining the laws rela-
tive to the case of the South Carolina Return-
ing Board. This evening there was a confer-
ence among several members of the
Cabinet, but it any information has
been received it is withheld from publica
ion. Judge Tail very properly declines to ex-
press his opinions on the case in controversy.
There is little reason to doubt that he regards
the assumption of jurisdiction over the Return-
ing Board by the State Court as unwarranted,
and that he thinks Judge Bond will find
authority sufficient to set the menabers
of the board at liberty when return
18 made to-morrow to the writs. The
count concerned not State olBoers alone, but
Electors and members of Congress, and, be-
sides, the Legislature chosen elects a United
States Senator; therefore the case comes
clearly within the jurisdiction of the United
States Circuit Court. There is some rea-
son to suppose that the Legislature, on
Tuesday, will be left without a Consti-
tutional quorum by the withdrawing
of tha Democratio ' members. This would
only postpone the counting of the votes for
Governor, and under the Constitution Gov.
Chamberlain holds over till his successor is
qualified. Ample provisions are made to pre-
vent disturbance of the peace in Columbia, if
anything of the kind should be attempted.
VIEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
SENATOR FOOTE, OK MISSISSIPPI, ON CLARK-
SON N. POTTER — THE LAITKR AN "iMBK-
CILE "—JUDGE CARTTBR'S OPINION ON
THE SOUTH CAROLINA TROUBLE.
Special Diaoatch to the New-Yorli Times.
Washington, Nov. 26. — Hon. Henry S.
Foote, a Senator before the war from Missis-
sippi, has written a letter on the Presidential
election, which is printed here this morning.
He reviews the letter of Clarkson N. Potter,
and makes this new point :
''I insist that it is only in one case of a dispnted
Presidential election that the power of electing
devolves upon the House of Representatives, and
that is when there shall be three or mere candi-
dates innnino:, as in 1S24. Then, if neither
of the candidates shall be found, on count-
ing the votes given, to have received a majority
thereof, upon the JBConse ot Kapresentatives will
devolve the choice of a President. This is not the
exisency dpsiribed by Mr. Potter, v'bo has imag-
ined a dow one, not at all known to the Conatitu-
tion, and who artlessly contends that either House,
by pronouncing a suflicient number of votes invalid,
may create ftn exigency, of which the House of
Representatives may immediately take advantage."
In closing the letter, Judge Foote says with
great force :
" After having been tempted to write thus much
on this all-engrossing subject, I do not feel willing
to leave unnoticed one of the most fallacious na-
tionti that ever entered the brain of a lancitul
and shallow pretender to knowledge of
constirutional law. The Constitution of the
United States, In the most explicit man-
ner, invests each of the States with full
power to appuint Presidential Electors in such
mode as they shall ehoose. The tribunal established
by them, by whatever name called, for the purpoie
of canvassing or scrutinizing the votes cast for
Electors, unless there he some appeal from its de-
cision, must of necessity have exclusive
and final power over the subJDot, and no
other tribunal on earth can posslblv have
authority to rejudgo such decision when once
formally rendered. The attempt of any court
wnatever to interfere with its aolion by Injunction,
mandamas, or other proceeding, is one of the most
unauthorized and absurd acts of usaroation any-
where on record, as no lawyer of intelligenee and
honesty would hesitate to decide. To assert the

Prom Our Special Correspondent.
Tallahassee, Tuesday, Nov. 21, 1876.
One of the marked peculiarities of the
present political crisis in this country is its ex-
treme simplicity. The situation is indeed dis-
tressingly plain, the problem to.be solved al-
most painfully simple. In a word, the question
which the votes of Louisiana, Florida, and
South Carolina must decide is, shall a man Who
has been legally elected to the Presidency of
the United States be allowed to take his seat,
or will the American people permit the inau-
guration of an ambitious and unscrupulous
politician, who by fraud, intimidation, and vio-
lence seeks to capture the highest position in
the land? Of course, it is useless at this time
to reiterate the oft-repeated statement that
Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, Ala-
bama, and Florida are naturally Republican
States, and that if a fair election could be held
in them they would all give Republican majori-
ties ranging from four thousand to thirty-five
thousand votes. It will -Jiot be out of place,
however, to give the people of the North some
idea of how the Southern Democrats conducted
themselves on election day, and by what
means they reduced the Republican majori-
ties in Florida and South Carolina. In the
latter State the much-abused Gov. Cham-
berlain had, under the law, complete con-
trol of all the election machinery. With him
rested the power to appoint all the poll man-
agers, inspectors, and clerks, and he had been so
disposed he might, in imitation of the Demo-
cratic Governors of Georgia and Mississippi,
have given hia political opponents no represen-
tation at the ballot-boxes. True to his past
record tor honesty and fair dealing, however, he
permitted the Democratic managers to name
a third of all the oflicers who were appointed
to take charge of the polls. He did so, trusting
in the honor of the men Who call themselves
the gentlemen, "the cavaliers of South Caro-
lina." He is now sufi^ering for his misplaced
confidence, and if he loses the election, as
seems more than probable, it will be because
he trusted men who, in everything pertaining
to politics, are unworthy of all trust and devoid
of all principle and all honor.

AN ELECTION FARCE.
All through the up country of the Palmetto
State the election held on the 7th of this month
was a farce, a parody upon the right of suf-
frage. In Edgefield County — "bloody Edge-
field," "unreconstructed Edgefield," as it has
been aptly called — Gen, Gary, '• Hamburg
Massacre" Butler, and men like them have
complete and absolute control of the polls.
Men voted literally at the liiouth of a pistol,
and the few negroes who dared to go to the
ballor-box did so at the risk of their lives. The
result was that Edgefield, which is naturally a
Republicau county, gave Hampton and the
shot-gun Democracy a majority of from twenty-
five to twenty-seven hundred votes, and as the
Chairman of the County Committee recently
telegraphed to Columbia, •' the returns are
still coming in." This is no fancy sketch.
There are three United States officers and a
number of other trustworthy witnesses who are
reaSy to swear to the truth of my statements.
It further proof is needed, I may state that in
1870 Edgefield County gave a Republican ma-
jority of 843; in 1872 this majority was in-
creased to 3,659, and in 1874 it was 498. This
year — and the figures will bear repetition — But-
ler and Gary, shot-guns and rifle clubs have car-
ried it for Hampton aud Tildep by 2,700
votes, "and the returns are still com-
ing in !" But the Democrats did
not practice their peculiar and effective
campaign tactics in Edgefield and the up-
country alone. All along the Georgia line
the boldest frauds were openly practiced. In
the County of Ellenton the murder of Senator
Cooke and George Turner, and the massacre
of seventeen unoffending black men in the
swamps around Rouse's Bridge were not for-
gotten, and not one negro in a dozen dared go
to the polls. Many of those wko did so were
forcibly prevented from voting, or detained by
idle challenges and questions until it was too
late to east their ballots. Hundreds of citi-
zens of Georgia came across the border and
voted in Hamburg and Aiken. Of course, they
were recognized by the Republican poll mana-
gers, but the protests of those officials amounted
sides by nfliimen ; as one of them told jne,
" they saw nothing all day hut the inside of
pisttl barrels," and they were powerless to
prevent tjbe frauds which were being com-
mitted. An officer of the Eighteenth United
States Infikntry, a gentleman of character and
Btandmg. who was stationed in Aiken County
on election day, not only corroborate* all tbeso
statements of the poll managers, but says that
he is ready to swear that be s^w nineteen men,
•Whom he knew to be citizens of Augusta. Qa.,
cooUv walk up to the ballot-box at Aiken, a
C, and vote the Democratio ticket. It was
by these means, and by numerotifl other frauds
of a like character, that South Carolma was
made "one of the doubtftd States," and yefr
Samuel J. Tilden, the man who calls himself
" the great Reformer," •laims that he baa car-
ried South Carolina. ,'
THE FRAUD IN FLORIDA.
In Florida, althoagb the Democratic violenoe
was less, the Democratic frauds were quite as
numerous as they were in " Hampton's Domin-
ion." In all th»6e counties bordering on Geor-
gia and Alabama, knovni here as "Cow-boy"
districts, the Democratio faithiul came across
the line in swarms, and voted, like their breth-
ren in the slums of New-York, early and often
for Tilden and Reform. They could do this
without stay or hindrance of any kind, for in
all the counties refsrred to the Democrats had
complete control •f all the election machinery.
Gov. Steams, agamst whom even the most 'Vio-
lent" partisans have been upable to bring a
charge, following the too liberal policy of Gov.
Chamberlain, trusted to the honor of his oppo-
nents, and in all districts where the minority
of the voters were Democrats appointed Dem-
ocratic county officers. The»e officers, as they
were authorized to do by law, appointed
all the poU inspectors and managers, and it is
needless to say they appointed none but Demo-'^
crats. So m twenty-seven counties of Flerlda
the friends of Tilde» and reform had every-
thing their own way on election day. They im-
proved their opportunity n»bly. In several in-
stances, and on one pretenae or another, the
freedmen were kept away from the polls, and
white men voted the Democratic ticket in their
names. Where this plan could not be carried
out, the boxes were opened immediately after
the closing of the polls, and the ballots in them
changed to stut the fahcy of the shot-gim mana-
gers who eontrolled them. Indeed, there is evi-
dence that a week before the election the
Chairmam of the Democratio State Committee
sent out a general order to all the coimties
managed by his friends, telling them jnst how
large a majority was expected from their dis-
tricts. In spite of all these frauds, however,
and because of the unlooked-for increase of the
Republican vote in the counties where an
honest election was held, the friends of "Til-
den and Reform " now find that they fall at
least 400 votes short of electing their ticket.
Having failed in the election, they sow hope to
win by intimidating the County Canvassers in
the remote Republican districts. In at least
two instances their efforts in this direction have
been successful. I refer to the cases of Madi-
son County and the City of Key West When
the boxes were opened by the County
Canvassers in the districts named, it
was found that gross frauds had been com-
mitted by the Democrats. The Republican
representatives on the board desired to throw
these boxes out before a return was made to
the Canvassers at Tallahassee. The Demo-
cratic leaders told them that they would be
shot if they persisted. They knew that this
threat would be promptly executed, and ot
course,they returned the vote just as they found
it, frauds and alL From KW West /the return
IS accompanied by a statement of the facts in
the case, and a demand from Mr. Cespedes, Re-
publican candidate for the Legislature, that
the precinct where the most glaring frauds
were committed be thrown out by the State
Board.

The Democratic Party claim a working
majority in the Forty-fifth Cougiess. It will
have a majority of «ght or nme if every Eep^
resentatiye from the SoatH claiming t* b«
elected shall be admitted to ft seat. PortPfl.

eonville one. There will be fifteen BepabUc<ui«
from the Southern States. I shall show Uh*,9j,
by official statistics, that the Bepubticaa Party
is entitled to forty Congressmen from the South.
Our failure to elect our just quota is du
wholly to fraud, terrorism, and intimidation.
Tilden's vote is an effect of th« same oaosei.
He claims 184 votes. At a free and feir eleo-
tion, the Republicans are entitled. t» thmj

South Carolina, Florida, and Loainsna, with-
out fraud or intimidation, are as strongly Re-
publican as the New-England or Nortb-westem
States.
Got. Tilden. therefore, if the Presidentud
election in the Soutbem States had been ^uctx
an election as the Constitution contempjiates
and presupposes, wonldnot have b«en entitldL

oiina to his bat, ha would have had onlv 1.68 ,
votes. He got the other votes that he claias,
not from the free ballot-box that "execute* iha
people,s will," but from the cartridge-box .tbat
executes the bandit's mandates.
It has been noticed that the returns from sev-
eral of the largest Democratio counties have
not yet been sent m. There is no doubt — ^in-
deed, it can and will be proved beyond all
question — that they are being purposely kept
back for Iraudulent purposes. For the ^ast
week, by thcorder of Messrs. Tilden and
Hewitt, the Democratic leaders in these and
other counties have been reporting and pub-
lishing small changes in their majorities as
first given. Every change is in their favor;
and in this way, and by still further raising
their votes in the districts not 'yet heard from,
they ho^ to show a small majority for TUden
before t^ State Returning Board. Happily,
their programme is understood and will bo de-
feated. Notwithstanding all their frauds. Gov.
Hayes has a majority of at least four hundred
votes, which will appear without throwing out a
district or changing a vote. Notwithstanding
this, however, the work of detecting and de-
monstrating Democratic frauds will be carried
actively forward until the close of the canvass,
and this maiority will be increased at least
tkree-fold. In the meantime the Deftnocrats are
loudly demai^ding "a fair count." They will
be gratified in this direction. The count will be
a fair, honest, and open one. It will prove to
impartial men of ail parties ai|d all sections
that the Republicans have carried Florida;
that they have been victorious in spit* of almost
unparalleled Democratio frauds.

Special Dispatch to the New- York TimeM,
Greensboro, Nov. 26.— Keturns received
show that the vote lor Hayes and Settle will
reach and probably exceed 108,000. There can
be no doubt that the Democrats committed the
most glaring frauds. Tilden's majority will
reach 14,000, and Vance will run some 4,000 or
5,000 behind hini. The Democrats here are very
much excited by the diseovery of the fact that
one of the Tilden Electors, William B. Glen, is
ineligible. He is one of the Commissioners ap-
pointed bythe Southern Claims Commission to
take testimony. This will give one Bepublioan

The Northern people have always been d*
ceived by the language of tbe Soathera Demo-
cratic leaders. We and tiheynae the aamfi
words, but we seldom mean the same tkings 1>t
them. The Southern Democrat is n»t a thinketi,
but an actor. He u»es words not to oonceaC
his thoughts Ijut his Hurpoaea. Until the Noct'*
thoroughly understands the Soutnem Dotoa^
cratio leaders, they will always be deceived by
them, and oiten do them the gross injnstioe of
supposing them to be hypocrites. Let tho
Northern people and the Southern Demoei;atla
leaders onoe thoroughly understand their dif-
ferences ot language, and there wdl be a store
pronounced political antagonism between them^
but the irrepressible conflict will be a contest
ot ideas undistorbed by hatreds and misappr»
hehsions.
These Sontfaem Democrats are the best
phrase-mongers in the world. By their necA^-
manoy of rbetorio they can throw a halo of
religion around crime ; a banner of liberty
around despotism ; a bulwark of coDsatotionai
right around anarchy.
They trafficked in human flesh and Uood ^
they sold hosbands fi«m wives, and intants
from their mothers' breasts. This crime agaiB:A
human nature they sanotified as " our Domes^Aa
Institutions " — and " God-ordainedl "
They revolted against a oonstitntioDal ^e»
tion, burdened us with an alpine national debt*
and hurled nearly a million of men into un-
timely graves. This crime of despotism, they
euphemized as a heroio struggle lor "■Sta»t
Eights."
They cheat a whole race out of their «easta<
tntional rights by every form of fraud and de-
vice of craft This crime they call ^ Keform."
They organized into a system the moati
cowardly assaults on defenseless men and wo-,
men, the assassination of American citizens fig
opinion's sake, and the massacre of OMarm-id
and unoffending negroes and white Sepublicaq
leaders. They descrioa this crime a^aijaat
liberty as " Local Selt-govemment."
They committed Treason — ^in the opinion of
the North — but they proclaim their Loyalty
from stnmp-topa. And they are not msuieere.
But what lAey mean by loyalty, and
what tbe mean by loyalty, are as far
apart as the poies of the earth, aud finds it«
right expression at the polls of the Sour a.
Here is what Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, t^i©
present Senator from that State, tcsti&>»d )>«.

There are two other phrases that present to
the Northern mind a totally different idea frooa
that which they represent in the mind of thet^'
Southern Democratic leaders. These phrasfjs
are "our people" and " the South." the Sou^ib-

aristocracy — the adroitest, the most implaca-
ble, the most unscrupulous, and the most mer-'

nent. That we ought to fight them to the end,
and that in combating them we arc only com-
pleting the work of the boys in bine, will soon

ihouM be borne constantly m mind m inresti-
gating political statistics based on the popula-
tion of the raoes< It is the difference between
the number of male adults to the entire popu-
lation of the whites and the blaolcB. It has been
proved on large averages that there is nearly
niie black male adult to every four black per-
Mns, whereas there is one white aidnlt to every
Bve and a half white persons. Tliis is owing to
two causes — the greater number of negro cbil-
^en %ho die, Sbd to the emlgratton of white
young men to other States unaccompanied by
i^hite women. The disproportion of adults,
tiierefoi^e. is nmeh larger than the census re-
turns indicate. It should also be noted that
Chere lias been a large infioz of negroes into
Alabama since 1870.
' , iii the statistics that I shall now present, I
ihall follow the elaborate tables-, compiled
from the census of 1870 and official eleotion
i^tums by Mr. E. N, Hill, of Arkansas, Fresi-
^nt of the Soiuthem Republican Association
opWashington. The popnlatioa is taken Irom
the census, the vote in 1872 and 1874 trom the
official retama. and -the number of white and
colored voters on the basis of the relative pro-
portion of adults topersoiiS in both races.

There has been a very great Increase of the
tolored population of Florida since 1870, and a
large Northern immigration. The vote of
Florida saved the Republican Party by reason
ohiefiy of the terrorism in Georgia, Which drove
thousands of negroes into the State, and thereby
•ttgmented the Bepublioan rote.

slppl is the representative of the polley of
foree, so Georgia is the r6presentatlre of the
policy of fraud. The foul bud ef the slums
of New-York has bloomed into the deadl;jr
flower in Georgia. ' Here Boss Tweed would
hare to sit at the feet of his masters in tnekery
and learn the alphabet of the mysteries of
"manipulating the returns." All other polit-
ical tricksters are dwarfed into bunglers in the
presence of the Georgia Democratic managers.
I tbail throw. liiiht en the methods of these
Mastws at another time, and pass over these
four distrioU rapidly now. The First Diatriot
of Georgia has a
Black population of 72,027
White population of. 64,481
Under the hands of the Masters it voted
nearly two to one agamst us In 1874—11,252
Democratic to only 6,714 Republican. The
Seoond District bas a
Black population of. 67,980
White population of. 58,180
The Masters allowed us 9,789 votes in this
district in 1874, and claimed only 12,098 for
themselves. Considering that we had a black
m^jonty of 6,317 voters, without counting the
white Republicans, this conduct on their part
was quite high-toned. They misht just as well
hare doubled their rote. But they spared our
feelings in sacrificing our rights. The Third
District of Georgia has a
Black population of. 57,519
White population of. • 47,246
The Masters were not so generous in this
district. Although we have a Republican
majority of 5,789, they allowed us onl.y 4,199 in
all, against 8,677, which they set aside for their
o-wn use.
Tbe Fifth Distriot of Georgia has a
Black population of. 71,282
White population of. 75,975
Here they gave us 6,273 rotes, against 12,450.
We have a black majority of 4,006, exclusive of
a large white rote.
rx.
Kentueky has one Republican district, the
Nmth, whieh gare 8,774 Republican, against
8,145 Demoeratio in 1874. But the black rote
is inconsiderable, and did not influence the
Demoeratio victory in that district. It is suf-
ficient to make a mere note of it at this time.
X.
Louisiana has four Republican districts : the
Third, the Fourth, the Fifth, and the Sixth.
It is possible that we may have carried them
all, and it is certain that we are entitled to
them all. For future reference, if the reader
should desire to follow up tliis new Southern
Democratic rebellion agajnst the Constitution,
I will give a few of the more important sta-
tistics. The Third District of Louisiana bas a
Biack population of. . . . . :>> 62,532
White population of 56,872
It gave Grant 13,790
It gave Greeley 10,558
The Fourth District of Louisiana has a

White population of 38,219

It gave Greeley 7,661
The Fifth District of Louisiana has a

It gave Greeley 6,931
Tbe Sixth District of Louisiana has a
Black population of 70,108
Wliite population of 54,479
It gave Grant 13,208
It gate Greeley 9,116
XI.
Maryland has two Republican districts — the
Fifth and Sixth. The race element does not
enter so largely in the politics of these dis-
tricts, and therefore I shall pass them for the
present without further note. They -will be
heard from when the Forty-fifth Congress as-
sembles. Both of these gave Grant a majority
in 1872. But I hare made no personal Inresti-
gation of the frauds charged on the Democratic
politicians in these districts, aad the statistics
of the Southern Republican Association do not
apply to them.
Xlt.
Mississippi under Republican rule, when no
Democrat was dlsftancliised, when every man
who desired to vote cast his ballot without
hindrance or intiinidation, sent five Republican
Representatives to Congress and only one
Democrat — Lamar. It sends a solid Demo-
cratic delegation no-w. I haye -written so many
letters t^bout Mississippi in The Times, that if
I have failed to convince its readers that it is a
Republican State, perverted to Demooracv by
assassination and terrorism, it would be idle to
attempt to prove it new. Its political man-
agement to-day 18 a sepulchre of putresoeiice full
of dead men's bones. Permit me now to hold
my nose and to pass on.
XIIL.
Missouri, I believe, has returned our full
quota ot Representatives; but 1 leave that
question for -writers better informed in its poli-
tics to discuss.
XIV.
North Carolina has three Republican dis-
tricts, although it has been gerrymandered by
the Democracy. In this State, on th%7th of
November last. Judge Settle was undoubtedly
elected Governor. The New-York managers of
Tilden and Reform sent down three ballot-box
stufiers into the Eastern districts, and, although
the Republiean vote was unusually large, it
WIS entirely overwhelmed by the fraudulent
retuma. The Republican Party in North Caro-
lina contains at least 40,000 whites, and Its
leaders and representatives are men of noble
aim aiid spotless character. The campaign
was admirabfy managed by Mr. Keogh, and the
canVaas of Judge Settle was one of the bravest
fights that the nolitlcal history of this country
records. 1 shall extilain the frauds in this
State as soon a^ I receive the returns for which
I have telegraphed.
XV.
South Carolina has five Bepubiican districts.
South Carolina has 9, black population of 415,814
White population of 289,667
A black majority of 126,147
Ithas ot adult males 203,315
Ot adult male citizens 202,026
Of colored adult males 85,475
Of white adult males 61,139
A majority of black aduft males of 24,336
Hete another Southern phrase endeavors to
conceal a great crime against the American
Idea. The phrase is, "votes autually cast,"
and sometimes, *• the face of the returns." Do
the people of the North see how gross this de-
ception is 1 If we accept, it we sanction the
menace of Hamburg and all the bloody deeds
of the followers ot Hampton. We say, in ef-
fect, that if, by assassinations and terrorism,
the South Carolina Democrats prevent ten
thousand' American citizens from voting, we
shall legitimatize their crimes by "counting
the votes actually cast." Shall wo thus bo-
come a party to the crimes of these assassins?
In Louisiana there was a peaceful election
outside of five parishes — "the bull-dozed par-
ishes." The Democratic leaders argued that if
tho Democratic vote, " as returned," should be
counted in those parishes, they would elect
Tilden and the Democratic Governor ; but if, on
the other hand, these parishes were thrown out,
they could probably carry the rest of the State.
This was their plan — they avowed it. In either
event they would succeed. But it the Return-
ing Board does its duty, it will not throw out
any parish, but only those precincts in any par-
ish at which there was intimidation. At some
of the countv seats there were soldiers and a
fair vote was oast.
No Democrat, until wlthm the last three
mointlkB, has even dared to say tiiat there was
one negjro Democrat in five hundred in Soutb
CaroUna;^ llie fact .that -the blaoks were
^massed ^ tnejDarti'was^the burden ef.thais
eomplaints. And now the oountry is filled with
outcries because the Returning Board of South
Carolina has given certificates of election to a
Bepublioan Legislature and the Republican
candidate for Qoremor I South Carolina tn-
Tolved this nation in one disastrous war. She
has never been sufQciently punished for it. If
she is hungry for a whipping, she can get it
now. I cannot believe that the Northern peo-
ple will tolerate any insolence from this State
again. Above all, we are not in a mood to be-
lieve her aesaasins or their champions.
In Edgefield the recent returns " of rotes
actually east" are larger by over two thousand
thtm the total number of male citizens in that
county by the State census ot 1875, and the
Democrats claim 3,225 majority, when there is an
actual Bepubiican majority of over fifteen hun-
dred. Yet the Democrats demanded that the
f'ote ot Beaufort, which gave the usual Repub-
lican majority, should be thrown out because
of some illegal votes. This ia Tilden reform.
Let us look at the vote of this State tor two
Presidential campaigns :
it (rave Grant in 1968 ....62 301
It gave Spytnour in 1S68 45,237
It gave Grant in 1872 72,290
It gave Greeley in 1872 22,703
It cave Chamberlain in 1874 80,403
It gave Green in 1874 6d,814
This fal'ing off in 1874 was o-wing to party
divisions. But this year the party would have
oast its full vote,' owing to the Hamburg mas-
sacre. The candidate for Lieutenant Governor
in 1874 received a majority of 15,805,
And now we are called to lift up our hands
in horror, at what Hampton calls a high-handed
outrage — the refusal of the Republicans to sur-
render themselves and the State into tho hands
of the banditti minority.
South Carolina's five Bepubiican districts
are the First, the Second, the Third, the Fourth,
and the Fifth.
In the First Distriot there are 82,426 blacks
and 56,014 whites.
In the Second District there are 85,661 blacks
and 47,025 whites.
In the Third District there are 75,893 blacks
and 66.419 whites.
In the Fourth District there are 78,729 blacks
and 75,373 whites.
In the Fifth District there are 93,105 blacks
and 44,836 whites.
That tells the story in figures ; your corre-
spondent has told the story in facts. So I pass
on-
XVL
Tennessee has three Republican districts —
the First, Second, and Tenth. The element of
race does not decide in these districts, and I
have not space to show why we have the right
.to claim them.
XVII.
Virginia and West Virginia would require a
separate letter to explain the frauds by which
we have been cheated out of two Representa-
tives. I cannot enter on the explanations to-
day.
xvm.
I have given figures enough and facts enough
to show that, while we have been slumbering
the rebel Democracy has been working, and
that the eleotion of Tilden would have been
our civil Appomattox — a reversal of the verdict
of the war.
So far, the old South has been victorious.
But the nation is aroused now, and has pro-
nounced the decree to these traitors :
"Hitherto hast thon come— bat no further."

From Our Own CorretvonOent.
Denver, Monda.y, Nov. 20, 1876.
A new element has appeared in the poli-
tics of the Trans-Missouri country. It is no
longer necessary to know, in a financial er gen-
eral sense, whether a man is " sound on the
goose," but it is considered of great importance
that he be sound on the grasshopper question.
One of the candidates for the United States
Senate in Colorado recognized this fact, and
issued the following card to show where he
stood :
"If I am elected United States Senator, 1 shall
advocate the followint:: The wholesale extermina-
lion of tbe loouit. Let the daiias of watchiau the
migrating roovementa of the locaat be added to the
signal service, in full, or let there be a separate
sijrnal service established for this purpose, so we
can be forewarned of their probable ccmine. Also
to ascertaio where and in what State or Territory
they deposit their eggs moat numerously. Lot
Coaeress appropriate Ifl, 000,000 annually to pay for
killing the locust by the bushel, or per pound, so
that people can afford to eather them. Let all the
Western States and Teriitoriea appropriate as
much money aunnally an they can, to be added to
tbe locust-extoimioation fund of Congress, and let
all be n«ed each year where tbe locust is hatching
out most numerous. In this way an annual war
can be waged against them, whicn will s^on tbia
them so that theii natural enemies will keep them
down, I would have the unemployed of our army
servo their countrv by destroying the looast or
serving in the lo'iust signal corps. I would have
the iLdians pay fit their annuiiies with loousti
where the locust is pleulital in thtir reservations."
The gentleman who made this bid for a
United States Senatorship, on purely grass-
hopper grounds, was W. D. Arnett, a Granger
and Fitty-niner. While he did not go to
Congress, his candidacy on such a creed was
not, after all, so ridiculoujs as might appear at
first sight. The farmers of Colorado, Kansas,
Nebraska, and adjoining Territories, have had
a hard struggle of it during the past three
years owing to the ravages of the locusts.
Those who had accumulated money from for-
mer years of prosperity have seen it all swept
away, and there are very few of the farm-
ers, gardeners, and ranchmen who are
not, in debt. Large numbers, utterly dis-
heartened,
to other
have sold
parts, or
out, and emigrated

PATRIOIIO OLD MSN.
The Adama (Jefferson County) Journal pub-
liihes a liat of the oldest voters in that town, who
all voted the straicht Sepablloan ticket. Their
namea an4 ages are as follows : 'EM Wright, aged
ninety-three years ;.Bir. Dwlght, ninety-two i Peres
Kaln, ainty-one;. Beman .Coltqn,-liinetyi.l4niinan -j.-., -i , ,-. ....~,^., . . .: x- ^ a- k-u
JWIioBx. ei«hts-»event Saniord Ward.^eightr-ioven.^1 Many fields yielded as high as forty-flv* bu»h-
pursuit. This accounts in a great measure for
the rush to Washington Territory and Oregon
the past year or two. Kansas and N ebraska
have contributed a large portion of the new
settlers in that section. When a Western farm-
er finds that he does a losing business for two or
three seasons, he is ready to "pull up "and
seek another starjt in a new country.
The Grasshopper Convention at Omaha,
at which six States and Territories
were represented, and in wliioh sev-
eral noted scientists took part, shows
the deep interest felt in the matter. After two
days ot deliberation it was decided that the
Legislatures of the States and Territories in-
terested should be asked to enact a law offering
a bounty per bushel for the collection and de-
struction of eggs and unfledged insects; to re-
peal the Game laws so as to prevent the de-
struction of birds which feed on them at all
times; and to frames laws for the prometion of
tree cultiite, harboring birds, and promoting
moisture. It was also urged that the State
Legislatures memorialize Congress to attach a
special Commissioner to either Proft Hayden's
or Prof. Wheeler's expedition each season, to
examine and report on the habits, and devise
some means for the destruction of grasshoppers,
and that $25,000 be appropriated for this pur-
pose. This is not the first time that a Govern-
ment has been asked to take a hand in the ex-
termination of grasshoppers. Russia at one
time employed 15,000 soldiers in destroying
them for the benefit of the agricultural popula-
tion. In the West Indies they frighten them
away t).y blowing trumpets, beating pans, 'and
by lighting fires and smoking them out. This is
also dona in Mexico and Central America. The
Russian Government pays ten cents, per pint
for locust eggs. They are gathered at night by
the aid of sieves, and thrown into bass and de-
stroyed. In Greece, China, the Romanian Em-
pire, Italy, Spain, France, and Turkey a re-
ward is paid tor their destruction.
It seems strange that the repeated grass-
hopper devastations in this couni;ry have not
gamed the attention of the Department of
Agrioidture. Their reports, covering seasons
when the ravages of this pest have, been great -
est, merel.y note the fact, without offering any
suggestions or methods for their extermina-
tion. For more than a hundred years the grass-
hopper has at times been the cause of great
destruction of crops in all parts of the eaun-
try. The Jesuit missionaries on the Pacific
coast in 1722, 1746, and 1753, and again, for the
three years following 1765, were nearly eaten
out of house and home. Capt. Carver, who ex-
plored tbe extreme North-west during 1766,
records the faet that " they infest these parts
and the interior colonjes in laree swarms, and
do a great deal of mischief." They appeared
in the Red River Colony in Minnesota
in 1818 and 1819, causing great hard-
ship. They swarmed down into tbe
crops of California in 1828. 1838 and 1846
They stripped the farms of Texas in 1845, and
asain in 1849. Minnesota was visited in 18od,
18(54, 1865, and 1868, and then came the pro-
Icnged and destructive visitation of 1873, cov-
ering the entire Trana-Missouri country, and
which has been repeated every seasoa since —
the last probably being the severast oi ail.
They swooped down into the Sacramento Valley
in 1855, taking gardens, farms, orckarde and
vineyards. They took half the crops of Utah,
Oregon, and Texas the same year. In 1856
they crossed the Rocky Mountains and settled
down on the fields of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa,
and Minnesota. East of the Mississippi they
have at times been very destructive. There
used to be a tradition in the Ohio Valley of their
periodical appearance, and they were called tbe
"eeventeen-^ear locusts." They have appear-
ed in other countries with greater destruction
than in ours. An army of locusts which rav-
aged the Mahratta country was' said to be 500
miles long, and so compact that the sun was
obscured as it b.y a dense cloud. In Alrica, as
described by Gordon Cumming' they come like
a snow-storm, fl.ying about one hundred
yards from tho ground, and obscuring the sky.
For three years the farmers ol Kansas, Ne-
braska, Colorado, Minnesota, and, lo some ex-
tent, Iowa, have suffered from regular grass-
hopper visitations. The Summer of 1874 was
memorable among the citizens of Kansas. The
splsntlid crops of corn, all vegetables, grain,
and even' peaches, were destroyed. The
etibrts to beat them off or smoke them
out seemed futile. They would swarm
off and disappear toi? several hours,
only to swoop down upon other" fields and
strip tliem in a low minutes' time. Thoir rav-
ages that .vear in Kansas must have entailed a
loss of $1,500,000; and, beside, so disheartened
were the farmers that large numbers sold out
for a mere song and emigrated to other States.
The population of Kansas was probably de-
creased 25,000; and for two years at least im-
naigiation almost wholfy ceased. During these
past three seasons tbe grassbopuers here
seemed to fly bacK and forth across
the Plains. Thev have at times so
covered the rails ns to impede the passage of
trains, and their thick flight compelled the put-
ting down of all the windows of the cars on
hot Summer days, to keep them from annoying
the passengers. Colorada ranchmen have
been obliged to seek aid from the merchauf^s
of Denver and other towns, and for tlu-ee .years
have not been able to make enough to pay
their wa.y. The past season the grass-
hoppers kept away until the first day
of August, when they suddenly appeared in
great swarms, and destroyed corn, vegetables,
gardens, and ate the leaves and bark from
trees. The wheat had been harvested, and, as
it was an unusually good vear, the largest
crop in the history of Colorado was obtained.
sts
els per aoro. This alone served to help the
people out.
What the total loss by grasshopper ravages
in the trans-Missouri couAtry has been since
the Summer of 1874 it is hard to say. It has
been thought by good judges that it amounted
to at least half the crop for each year.
But the Governors of the States who
assembled at Omaha agreed that it was
much less than bad been reported. In
Minnesota and Nebraska it was about
one-tenth ; in Kansas and Colorado, about one-
third the first year, and from one-fifth to one-
tenth the other two yeart. One reason why it
is difficult to figure the loss is the fact that
their appearance has been in different sections
at different times. Sometimes they have ootce
early enough to take the vegetables and grain :
at other times too late for that, but in
time to sweep away the corn and fruit. In
1874 they swaraaed through Kansas during
July and August, taking ever.y green thing.
The niext season they appeared early, and
harvested the vegetables, but left early,
so that the damage was nothing like
What it had been the previous year.
At a low estimate the loss in Kansas from the
grasshopper invasions of 1874. 1875, and 1876
have, on an average, exceeded oae-fitth the
entire agrioultural product. As this, in any
ordinary year, xs about five million dollars, there
would, for the three yeara, be a total loss of
$3,000,000. In Colorado and Nebraska, the loss
during the same time had been at a lowestimate
—$2,000,000. Counting in Texas, Dakota.
Wyoming, and Utah, which have suffered to
some extent, we have about six million dollars,
as the loss by grasshopper ravages in the trans-
Missouri country since 1874 ; and had it not
been for these invasions there would have been
sown and planted much larger areas. But
from the painful uncertainty as to what each
coming season would bring, many farmers
have tailed to plant anything that Could be
destroyed ; while others, greatly diaheartened,
have given up their farms. The actual loss, then
by grasshopper ravages and the delay and un-
certainty to farming onerations in the past
three years has been $10,000,000.
Considering the great suffering that this has
brought, and the drawbacks to their growth
and developmont, it becomes a ser;ou3 ques-
tion among the people of the new States and
Territories ol the West, What shall we do with
the grasshopper 1 It is not strange that it
has begun to figure in politics, and is
thought of sufiBcient magnitude to call for
grasshopper conventions and a war of extermi-
nation to be declared. How this war is to be
carried on so as to prove effective is the mat-
ter now under discussion. Governors, Con-
gressmen, legislators, scientists, and farmers
are comparing notes to determine how to go to
work. During the Winter an effort will be
made to find out where they have laid their eggs
and then to destroy them. Early in the
Spring, when any are found hatching out,
tlie best known agencies to destroy them will
be put in operation. It is thought by many,
that the extraordinary dry season, lasting now
some four months, has destroyed the eggs, but
it will not do to count on this. A little silky
mite has been reported by the ranchmen of Col-
orado as eating up tbe eggs which have been
deposited this Fall. ' The worm is small, thin,
and whitCj about a quarter of an
inch long, and no thicker than a
common pin. It is found in the egg-saek
at work upon the egg. Some kinds of birds de-
stroy grasshoppers rapidly. It is said that in
Utah, in 1848, flocks of white sea-gtills Stayed
the destruction and exterminated the grass-
hoppers. Gov. PiJlsbury in his address at the
Omaha Convention, gave the following infor-
mation on this subject :
" There is a species of bird found in immense
numbers in Kussia, Poland, and Lower £°:ypt, and
and on the shores of tbe Mediterranean, called the
rose-colored blackbird, that feeds on locusts and
their eggs and larvae. It devours incredible num-
bers in a day. The red* winged starling, ot the
Southern Atlantic Statea, described by Alexander
Wilson, is another great enemy to the locust. Mr.
Wilson intimates toat 2.000,000 of the starling will
consume in three weeks the enormous amount of
16,200,000.000 of the eggs and larva of the grasshop-
pers. The large numoerof bird j found in our sev-
eral States are intended as positive blessings to tbe
people, and there is no doubt that suitable laws
should be passed by all Statea, and especialiy~tbosb
4ylii;2b are ravaged by locosts or grasshoppers, for
the protection of birds, especially the starling,
blackbird, larfe, crow, jackdaw, stark, and that the
rose-colored starling and grakle should be intro-
duced iato the United States. Theae birds are a
very destructive enemy to the Ibcnst. Tney pur-
sue them at nlsnt, when they li^ht on tbe ground."
The. human agencies expected to be em-
ployed in the grasshopper war, as agreed upon
uy the Governors of tbe trans-Missouri States
and territories, are chiefly as follows : First-
Crush them by rollers, aud catch them by bags
and traps during the mating season, when the.y
are, in a measure, stupid and inactive. Sec-
ond— Deep plowing and harrowing of the
dry l£nolls, and otWer warm spots Where the
eggs are deposited. Third— The burning of
the prairie grass m the Spring.and its preserva-
tion until that time lor that purpose. Fourth —
placing loose straw on or near the batebing-
place where the young will gather for protec-
tion against cold m the early Spring, and then
burning it. Fitth — The sowing or grain in
strips one hundred feet wide, leaving spaces for
running ditches into which they may be driven.
Sixth — By loud aud discordant noises made by
striking tin vessels and shrieking and .yelling
with the voice, which are said to aid in dis-
turbing the pests and indu(iing flight. This
last " article ot war" suggests the caution to
travelers coming this way next Spring, that
any unusual music in the air, west of the Mis-
souri, means grasshopper extermination.
Cotaatitntlon denyinn to each of these olaaaea of pffl*
cers the faaolion of tbe others. The Bepabllcan
say that qneationa of contested eleotion are not Xor
dlclal in the sense in which that term ia used in the
Constitution, but are rather political. Tbo Demo-
erata at first seemed to think that the State Canvas-
sers had no duties bat to' add up the statements ot
tbe votes made up by tbe Contity Canvassers and to
certify the result, so obtained, but latterly they in-
sist that the State Canvassers abonld go behind tbe
action of tbe County Canvaatiers and look into tbe
returDB of the precinct managers— the legality of the
precincts. The Bepublioana tbiak that the State
Canvassers can go fully into all, the points involved
ia a contest."

THE BOARD OF STATB CANVASSEBS — ^El*-
FECTS OF THEia aCTION OH WEDNE6-
UAlr.
From the Columbia (8. C.) tTnion- Herald, Nov. 23.
The Board of State Canvassers adjourned «ine
die yesterday. The statute defining their powera
and duties limits tbeir sittings to ten days. Tbia
period began at ISb'clock M., Friday, tlv> 10th, and
omitting Sundays, expired yesterday "at 12 M.
Before adjonrning the board certified their deter-
mination, according to the statute, that the Hepub-
lican Electors were duly elected, and certificates
were acoordingly issued. They then proceeded to
perform the same duty aa to the State offioeta whom,
according to the report made to the court, they had
found to receive the highest number of votes. The
members of Congress elected— three Kepubllcana
and two Democrat*— wer^ given certificates. The
same duty was performed as to the various county
officers and sol ci'ors. They refused to make any
determinatiuD or isnue any certiScates of eleotion
to membets of the Legislature and ooimty officers
in Edgefield and Laurena Conntlea, becaoae of
mnhifest frauds, violence, and irregalaiitles.
The statement of tne .ffe^i^ter this mem ing that
"they proceeded to Issue ceniiio^iea of election to
the Kadioal candidates in these two counties" ia ut-
terly false. No certificate was issued to any person
whoae eleotion in any manner reaolted from the re-
tuaal to ooant the vote of £dgefleld and Laarene.
The only effect of refusing to grant certificates to
the mem hers from these two ooanties is to transfer
an invest! <;atiou of the.r claims to seats to tbe
fiouse of Eepretoentatives and the Senate.
The hlilaualoo of the £e^t«t«r about " contempt and
disobedience of the spirit aud letter of the order of
the Supreme Cuurt" ia intended to please the ear of
tbe groundlings. The board was not served with
the order Until ten hours after it bad adjoamed *in«
die. But ff the order had been served upon tbe
members, the action of the board would have been
bo different from that taken without It. No certifi-
cate was lasned except in accordance with tbe de-
terminatiion of the result aa announced to tbe cooit

it la of a piece with tbe audacity and impadence
.of the Democratic manacers, manlfe8|;eil through-
out the entire prooeetiiags before tbe court, that
they should now denonnce the action of the board
as trickery. We will not, to-day, attempt to char-
acterize the remarkable proceetilngs, but we call
attention to tbe fact that the ^court yesterday
granted a inle for the board to show cause on Fri-
day, when the board would have been functus
offlcio botore the day fliedi We have been of the
opinion for several da^'s that tbe design of the
Democratic mauagers was to prevent, by proceed-
ings in court, the completion of any canvass and
the issuance ot any certificates until tho time in
Which tne board could legally act had expired.
Then Gen. Conner and his associates in this iState,
and the Tilden conspirators in New-York eonld
have claimed that no certihcates could be issued to
any Electors, and that Sonth Carolma should have
no place in the Electoral College.
We have watched the dilatory proceedings before
the court, and coald tnake out no reaeon for the de-
lay except the intention of the Demoerata to haraas
the board into neglecting to do its duty and then
to spring upon it tbe asaertlon that it was too late
to do it.
The mandamus, granted an hour after tbe board
had adjourned sine die, could Just as well have been
i'tsued the first hour of the proceedings. The law
of the case was in so wise afieoted by the flKurea
asked for. Ic certainly was not necessary for the
Court lo know which party would have a majority
in the Houae before being able to determine upon
the powera of the Board of Canvassers.
Why, then, was the courc prevented from Issuing
the order at once I In oiir oplniou the Democratic
lawyers never cared anytning about that questioiu
They are to-day asserting a perfect confidence in
their ability to oontrol the House of Bepreaanta-
tivea. even if there were a dozen more Sepnblioans
in it. They ire as ready to bet that there will be a
Democratic Speaker of the House aa they were a
week ago. They are just as confident that the Edge-
field and Laurena Democrats will be voted Into their
seats, and that Hampton will be declared elected
and inaugurated as they fyer were. They care noth-
ing about that part of the business. Their anger ia
that by the prompt action of the ooacd yesierday
tbe attempt to steal a State from Hayes has been
frustrated. ^
GOV. HAYES. '
I
SOUTH CAROLINA.
EX-ATTORNKY GENERAL AEKRHAK ON THE
ACTION OF THE STATE CANVASSERS.
From the Atlanta 6Qa.) Constitution, (Eem.,) Nov. 24.
Learning that Amos T- Akerman, the well-
known Eadlcal politician, bad returned trom South
Carolina, whither he had gone as one ot Grants
counsel, a reporter ot the Constitution called upon
him for bis views. It will be perceived that the
statements of Mr. Akerman are at variance with all
the information received heretofore, and we give his
opinions for what thay are worth. The following
conversation ensued:
" When did you leave Columbia, and what was
the atatus of mattera when you left ?
I left Columbia Wednesday night. The Board
of State Canvassers bad adjourned without day,
having completed their duty, as they conceived, by
certityiag the result of tbe election to the Secretary
ot State, cxcapt as to the office of Governor, with
which they had no concern. The courc adjourned
to Friday morning."
' A> whose instance did you go to Columbia, and
what Old you have to do with the case before the
court J
Xhe first nart of your question T decline to an-
swer. In the case D*foru tho court i was counsel
for one of the fiepublican candidates f jr a State of-
fice, and co-operated with Messrs. Coroin and Elli-
ott, tbe couusel tor the board.
What has oecome of tbe Kdturning Board, and
what do they propose to do /tbout tbe attachment
lor contempt 1
The Bjatd of State Canvassers, wh'ch, I suppose.
Is what you mean by tbe Keiurniiig Board, bas
ceased to exist, by its final a^'J luruuient and by ex-
piration of the time uiven by law lor peiformiue its
lunoiious. That time expired on Weilneaday. !No
Bitacbmunt for contempt bad been issued when I
left, so laras I know. The.members of the board
dla not suppose themselves to be lo contempt, not
having violated anv order of tne court.
Aa the Reluiniiig Board bad recognized the juris-
diction of the court, waait noc rather a sharp trick
to evade the court resorted to by the Keturning
Board i
No trick at all. The board obeyed every order
which it received from the court. They aiijourued
on the day ou which their lunotions were to cease
by law, and after haviuj; perloruiod their fnnotiuus
as tuey understood tbem, without having received
from the court any order to tbe contrary._ Tbe
peremptory mandamus as to members of the Legisla-
ture tiiid not tieeu served on tliem when thev aa-
iourued. And, in lact, their action in relatiou to the
members wag in accord with the mandamus in iis
moat reaaonable interpretation.
What Is your opinion as lo the exact returns that
would have boen made if no counties had been
thrown out ?
The returns made up by tbe Comnty Canvassers
and seat oy them to Columbia showed the Beoub-
Itcan Electors of Presilent to be chosen, the Re-
publican State officers to be chosen, with possibly
one eioeption, three Kepublicans and two Demo-
crats to be chosen to Cougres.*, a small Bepublioan
niajority in the State Senate, aud a Democratic ma-
jority ot tour in the Houae. 1 he board does not count
tbo votes tor Governor. Bumor says that for Gov-
ernor, Hampton leads Chamoorlaiu 1,200 vnUs, as
the vote is estimated Dy the County Canvassers,
if none are thrown out.
What is proDoseil to be done by each party, ao far
as you could gatner from what you beard J
I have no knowledge of the intentions of the
Democrats. All the Bepnblicans with whom I
have conversed seemed to approve of the action of
the board and to be prepared to sosrain it.
Give me what you consider the exact points at
issue at Columbia.
Tbe law makes tbe Board of State Canvassers a
tribunal to deciae protests and contests, except in
cases where the Constitution vests such power in
some other body. The Demoorats contend that
under thia authority the board cannot determine
cunleats for seats in tbe Legislature, each houae of
which is tbe judge of tho election of its own me»-
bers. The Republicans agree to this as to tbe final
right to a seat, bat say that the board ma.y enler-
wa a contest ao tar as to ascertain who is entitled
to tbe certitioate and to participate in the: organlaa-
tlon. The Democrats say that the board cannot
consatntionaliy entertain any eon teat, beeause
such a function is j.odiotal and^oannot be per. cf.Aheai to jaa,T.^a|ye»

INCIDKNTS OF HIS VISIT TO TOLEDO.
From the Toledo (Ohio) Comm,ereial, Nov. 25.
Toledo wa« honored yesterday with an unex-
pected visit by Gov. Hayes, the gentleman who ia
to be the next occupant of the White Houae. He
came parti.v on official btuineas, and more especially
to look after his property interests, which, aa is
well known, are large. He was waited on by a
nnmber of personal and political friends, who paid
Tbeir respects, and among others, an obtrusive re-
porter of an evening paper, who succeeded in get-
ting an interview after this manner :
Keporter — Governor, I'm a newspaper man ;
want to know what you are doing here ; irhere you
going ; what you think of the political situation ?
G»v. Hayes— Well, that's direct, atanyrate, f(pull-
ine an envelope from his pocket.] My uemorandnm
informs me that J am here to-day to visit tho fish
hatchery and insaiie asylum ; to see my attorneys,
Messrs. Pratt &. Wilson, and to see tbe banks, p r-
ticularly the banks. If you read the papers, yon
know aa much about the political situation aa I do.
At 11 o'clock the Governor, in oompaoy with
Judge Potter, Mr. Clippart, and R. J. Cnmmines,
Fish Commissioners, viiited the flab hatchery and
inspected it, after which he returned to the city.
At 1 o'clock he dined, and afterward, nntil after 3
o'clock, was occupied with private business. He
paid the Com,mercial office a visit, where he held a
levee, a? it were. HI3 presence in this city had been
noised abroail, and while kitting in the counting-
room he was recognized by tbe. passera-hy.
large numbers ot whom came in to
pay their respects to the next
President < f the United States. Quite a number of
amusing incidents occurred. One gentlemen ap-
proached him, and shaking blm warmly by the hand
said, "G-overnor, allow me to congratulate you, I—
I — guess, on being elected President."
'• That reniindg me." said the Governor, amiling,
" of a congratulatian another genileman tendered me
the other day. 'I conaratnlate you,' said he, 'on
yonr goingjnto the Wnite Honse, if you are elect-
ed; and if iiot, allow me to tender you my congrat-
ulations on your narrow escape.' "
A number at colored lellow-cltlzena had gathered
on tbe side-walk, and were fuzing cnnously on the
Governor through the windows. Eiualiy Capt-Ftjr-
gu^on came op, and passing into the office, was in-
troduced to Gov. HayeA, and shook banUa with him.
He oongratulatod the Governor on his election, aud
expressed the nope that his [Ferguson's] own race
had done their datv. After a few words further, be
returned out of doors, when the more basbfal col-
brea people, who were afraid to enter, seized the
fortunate Fergnaon, and passing him fiom one to
tbe other, shooK bim heartily by the hand that bad
been hoaoroa bv clasping that of the distinguished
gentieman within.
Finally one, bolder than the others, went In, and
without the lormaiity of an introduction, waited
up aud silently extended a hand. The Governor
shook it cordia.ly and said ; •' How do you do, sir ?"
He rushed out of doors and across tbe street, and
meeting another darkey, said : " D' — d'ye see that
man over da in de Comtnereial office, d»t man wlv a
red face J .Oat's Gjv'ner Hayes, cat is ; I — I— I
(buk bans wid him, 1 did ; a — a— an' you can do so
too. Jess go right ober da, and go right in. He
Won't hurt .yon."
Alter leavins the Commercial, Gov. Hayes pro-
ceeded to the North-western Savings Bank, where
he remained until 6 o'clock, when ha took the
evening train for Fremont.
CLOSED TILL THE RETURNS ARE IN.
From the Detroit Free Press. .
At 8 o'clock yesterday morning the pro-
prietor of a small sa'.oon on Beanblen street put
down the curtain, looked thO door, and was walk-
ing off when he was hailed by a pollseman. He
crossed the street to the officer and saii^ "Dot
blace is closed up for von week." " What's the
matter ?" asked the officer. " Well, T fian't stand
such foolibgs around r. In de fl'-at blace, a man
comes in und says, " Well, Dilien ia elected," and
he kicks ofer the chairs. JPooty soon comes anudder
man in und he aavs, " Hooray ! Hayes has got 'em
now !" and he kicks ofer a dablo. Anudder man in
a little vhile coines in und calls out, '• Nopody is
elected any more!" und he preaka some gianses.
Shuat like dot has it been tor a week, and I am
gluau discouraged. If aomepody aays Di'den is
electiid I pelief dot ; if aomepody says Hayes is
elected I pelief dot : it somopody says iiopody is
elected, I feels like dis eonntry vhas goinu to soma
does Tight away." " Yes, it does bother one,"
consoled the officer. " lell all der poj-s dot I have
gloaeu up for returns, und dot somepody gan't get
in," rejoined the man. and he turned his face home-
ward, .

contribution without seeing that the writer
has the technical terms of music at his finger's

tIPPlNOOTT'S MA6AZZNB.
—As befits a magazine published in Phila-
delphia, IdppineoWa has a good deal to say
about the Centennial. Edward C. Bruce dis-
courses, m an illustrated article, concerning
"Detached Exhibits," and Jennie J. Young tells
of " Ceramic Art," with tbe assistance of numer.
ous woodcuts, some of them representing ob-
jects of great beauty, but others remarkable
only for an awkard patriotism. To the latter
belong the French Memorial Vases, and in Mr.
Bruce's article, the "Dreaming lolanthe," in —
butter! Another illustrated paper is a con-
cluding chapter on " Walks and Yisits in Words-
worth's Country.*' There is an amateurish-
ness both of text and illustration in these quiei;
chats that is far from unpleasant. The pictures
look as if they might really haye been inserted
in letters as the traveler pushed his way about
the Lake country ; there is so little effort ap-
parent in their make-up that the effect is fresh
and pleasing. Gteorge Maodonald has two more
chapters of " Tbe Marquis of Lossie," in which
his. steady qualities are apparent. His excel-
lent English, his knowledge of Scotch dialect
and Scotch character, his goodness and thor-
oughness generally, cannot be mistaken ; but
there is also a ' certain lack which makes
one withhold - from him the highest
praise. The > first i^hort '<'- story - of this
month is by ^ Mrs. Davis, • and has nothing
to recommend, it except its thoroughly dis-
agreeable tone. It is evidently written by one
who knows how to write, but, having a locality
comparatively untrodden, and materials on all
sides for something that might ocoaeioLally
clear the earth, the author remains persistently
terre^-terre. Even the " Widow who Crossed the
Lines is Unlovely." We hear again from South
Africa in an eleventh paper by Lady Barker.
So many travelers have deluged the world with
startlinz tales of A&ioan adventures, that the
continent appears far away in a kind of
Aladdin land, where anything short of a dia-
mond mine or a combat between rhinoceroses
would be colorless. , But here is Lady Barker
writing ^ the most femininely minute letters
from Natal, Just such as one might expect from
Switzerland or other weU-beaten track, and
the strangest part is that they are very readsr
ble. So also are the short letters from abroad
that close the magazine. Altogether thei:e is a
gentle flavor about IdppincoWa which is very
attractive ; one is impressed with the fact that
it Is edited4and written for -ladies, and gen-
tlemen.
t POPULAR t SCIENCE j MONTHLT.
'it — Professor Tyndall contributes the most
notable article for D^embsr in the magazinia
devoted to the popularization of scienoe. It
consists of a discourse delivered before the
Glasgow ' Science Lectures Association last
October, on " Fermentation and its Bearings
on the Phenomena of Disease," a pretty text to
expound in the presence of an audience com-
posed Of ■ Englishmen, lovers pf beer, and
Scotchmen, consumers of . whi^y. With his
osual careful and luminous metnod of handling
a subject. Professor Tyndall connects the topic
with tb^ habits and trade of his hearers, and,
starting from that apparantlv trivial and com-
monplace ground, extends the bearings of his
lecture to considerations that affect mankind in
general / vitally. First, he describes « simple
case of fermentation by which a Swiss peasant
makes kirsohwaaser from cherries ; then wine is
taken! up, '^ then beer. The differences in the
process . in t each case are < briefly noted, but in
all one phenomenon is the same ; if tha ma-
terials used — ^the fruit, grain, &o. — are perfectly
free from impuritieB, and the air in contact with
them is perfectly pure, no fermentation will
take place. , In the case of beer, a iermenting
agent is supplied by the brewer ; in that of
wine, the air supplies it The bloomlike dust
found on grapes is the minute vegetable seed
tbas ferments the wine. Common blue-mold
is then noticed, > in order to show a more
visible process analagous to fermentation.
2dr. Tyndall ma'kes.great use in all this article
of the discoveries of the French chemist
Pasteur, on whose wonderful skill and heroic
patience in pursuit of knowledge he pronouhoes
a glowing etilogy. The next step is from fer-
menting liquids to fermenting solids \ in other
words, to putrifying materials, i The same pro-
cess and similar agents are traced in these,
and the ('reasonable explanation for the pres-
ervation of meats by cold oleariy-set forth.
From this point to wounds in the human body
IS only a step. By an illustration drawn from
a misAau that befell the speaker m Switzerland,
the vegetable origin of wound-inflammatien is
proved. Fevers, diseases of cattle, and of silk-
worms, are attributed to the same causes.
From the Fortnightly Beoiew is an article on
Mormonism from a Mormon point of view, which
may have some meaning as a standard of what
may be said on the subject in Europe. The
writer, Daiiiel Widderburn, draws no oonolu-
sion, but confines himself to praising the thrift
and good outward character of the Mormons ;
his attitude is that of Lord Houghton to ward
Turkish harems— the mildly apologetic. He haz-
ards tbe remarkably bold statement that were
it not for polygamy, Utah would long since
have been a State. But if he has nothing new
to say, it is different with Prof. E. S. Morse
who furnishes a paper entitled "What Ameri-'
can Zoologists have done for Evolution." It is
something in the way of a hasty summary of
the present phajte of a great questioa, the ob-
ject being the not unpatriotic one of showing
how active our naturalists have been and are.
In itself It is well worth reading, but
one of the conclusions led up to affects this
vary question of Mormonism and the allied
themes of criminal and capital punishment.
The crimes of a man being inherited qualities,
"no sadden revulsion of feelings and amended
ways IB to purify the criminal taint, but he is
to be auarantined in just the same wav that a
ease «f plague might be, that his kind ma.y not
increase," Prof. Huxley's second New- York
lecture, '• with illustrative ' wood-cuts, enlivens
the body of the magazine, and the miscellany
contains the usual • number of instructive and
aurieua items.

THE GALAXT.
':- — « Madcap Violet" still stands at the head
•f the hst in this neat magazine to represent the
serial • novel. J Mr. , William Black has won
many friends by his " Princess of Thule," and
one or more other works ; perhaps *' Madcap
Violet " may retain their affeotiens. • In " The
Story of Aspasia" we are treated to new eun-
fiderations about the woman Pericles loved
Mr. Austin's .treatment of the subject la hardly
inspiring, s the ari;i6le {nay Still serve to ao-.
eeiittiate the ^('aming not ^to ' apply ont yard-
rules of morality to '? the ancients. ; Nothing
is more likely than that a woman in Aipasia's
situation should have been cruelly wronged
by tJie ehroniolers ; they could hardly fail
to insult her memory, being Greeks, and,
therefore, every presumption that dhu be
raised in ber favor should be charitably ac-
cepted. The best article, and, although it is in
prose, the best poem of the December Galaxy
is a little sketch by Amalie La Forge, oalleU
'•Le Cur€." A most exquisite little fragment
is this, full 6f sunlight and mowed grass for
landscape, and restrained pathos for coloring.
There is little or no plot, the veil before the
life-grief of a French parish Priest is simply
lifted, and we see his sorrow for a moment, like
a cloud that passes. ■ Mr. Coan, however, lets
one down into prose at once, should one
venture over the threshold of " Le Curfi " into
his article on ''People and Pictures at the
Fair." John Dangerflold has some dreary
fiction, under the title of "Prof. Hoffman's
Polly." A short paper reviews a pamphlet
by Elder Noyes, ot the Oneida Community,
on " Mutual Criticism." . The reviewer is much
more respectful to these disagreeable people
and their coarse-minded prophet than one
might expect. The mutual criticism that
Noyes recommends to the general publio oan
only be possible among people as thick-skinned
and vulgar as he— judging from others of his
published works — argues himself to be. Pan-
nle Boper Feudge contributes a Siatnese legend
ot the sun and moon, translated literally from
" the sacred Bali." It has the true smack of
modern Oriental fancy. Perhaps Gen. Han-
cock's article will attract the most attention of
all in the magazine. His object is to correct a
misstatement of Gen. Howard in the latter's
descnption of the battle of Gettysburg, which
was published in the July number of the AUan-
tio MontMy. To laymen, the point that Gen.
Hancock assumed command soon after a stand
was made at Gettysburg, and that Gen. How-
ard knew and acknowledged the fact at the time,
will appear to be of little moment ; but fqr the
historian and the Army .officer the correotion
is important. We may allow a brave General to
correct all the mistakes he pleases, especially
when in so doing he reviews again the opening
of a battle as ontieal as Gett.vsburg. The
Galftxy this month has the usual quantity of
" Nebulee " and Scientific Miscellany.

■- SAC£A2tiEKTO, Nov. 18 — 12 Midnight. — At 8:15
to-nigbt Moore's Opera House, on Second street,
between "K and L, in this city, was the scene of a
frlghtfol accident, resaltlne in the death and iojary
of nearly one hundred persons. The ocoapion was
the opening night, the place having been opened lor
the first time. Tbe Peak Pamlly, a vaadeville
troupe, occupied the boards, the house having been
fitted up for them. Mrs feak is proprietresg. The
house haa been known as Olyinpic Hall, and was at
one time used as the State Armory. It is over the
larea livery stable of J. "W. Wilson, and was con-
verted into a theatre by seating the floor with chairs
and erecting a hallway between the ceiling and floor,
and dress circle and boxes. The hall ia 40 by 85
feet inside the walls, and the floor was self-snpport-
inir, being withont coliimns or pillars. When in

JPnJS IMMORAL SOBOOLMASTER IIT COrTRI.
George H. Gaulier, the immoral sohool-
maater, Who was arrested at the instance of Mr.
Anthony Comstock, on Saturday evening, on the
charge of exbibiting obscene and lewd pictures to
his pupils, was arraigned before Justice Duffy, at
the Tomba Police Con ■■ i vesterdav morning. Mr.
Comstock was present, and carried a saohel, from
Which he proddced a large quantity of lewd, colored
pictures, engravings, photographs, stereoscopic
views, playing cards, and books, of the most dls-
gnetlng oharaoier. Justice Doffy examined them
casually, and then, turning to tbe prisoner, adminis-
tered a scathing rebnke to him for having suoh a
vile collpotion in bis possession, and bis tetal de-
pravity in attempting to borrupi tbe minds of tbe
young by such means. Daring this address, the
prisoner stojd stttUdly regarding tbe court, without
exbibiting any agitation whatever. The only defense
be had to offer was that be bad never shown
the articles to any youth not old enough
to take care of himself, and averred that most of
the collection had been presented in him at various
times. Judge Duffy held him for trial, tn default of
$10,000 bail. Theptisonor is a t'renchman, has a
highly intelleoiaal cast of features, was neatly
dressed, and bore in his appearance nothing in com-
mon with his disreputable practices.

yesterday afternoon, and called for a glass of beer.
This was furnished him, and after drinking it he
told KooDtze to put on his coat &ud come with blm.
Koontze, thinking from Hagan's conduct that he
was an officer who was about to arrest him for vio-
lating the Excise law, put on his coat, and walked
out with bis supponed captor. After reaching the
street, Hagan appeared somewhat neif ons, and as
he did not proceed in the direction of tbe station-
boaae "K-oouXxa becaaie snspicioas ; and as they
passed Patrolman Meyfarth, of the Fourteenth Pre-
oiuct, who wa;i in uniform, he hailed him. At this,
Kazan ran off, but was pursued and arrested by
Officer Meyfitrth. He was locked uo at the Mul-
berry Street Police Station on a charge ot person-
ating a Police ufficf>r, prefarred by Mr. Koontze, and
will be arraigned at the Tombs Police Court to-day.
A GAMBLER HELD FOR TRIAL.
Albert Williams, a clerk lu the employ of
Messrs. Arnold, Constable & Co., appeared before
Justice Duffy, in the Tombs Police Court, yester-
day, and entered a complaint against tbe gambling-
house No. 616 Broadway, for having defrauded him
of the sum of $15 in the game of faro on Saturday
evening. Fourteen prisoners were arraigned at the

was made by the Police, nil sf whom were dis-
charged excepting Jonn Sullivan, of No. 343 East

o'clock, resulting in the almost instaiit death of a
boy fourteen years of age, named John Gresser,
who resided with his parents at TSo. 65 Third
avenue, and in the arrest, a few moments later, of
Louis Theus, butcher at the corner of Third avenue
aod Tennis stieet, on a charge of mnrderpg him.
Theus has lived and kept a butcher shop on the
corner in question for a number of years, and
about noon to-day Jacob Puchs, a resident of
Watervliet, and an old friend, called upon
bim. Theus had been drinking heavily
last nient, and this morniog he haa also indulged
sSmewhat freely. The buys of the neighborhood
have been in tue habit of bantering the man, and
about noon several ot them, ranging in age from
ten to fifteen years, collected io front of his door
and amused themselves by calling him 'drunken
TbeuS,' 'drunken butcher,' &c. He went out and
drove them away, and as he came back the boy
Gresser cam*) in to procure some liver for his paren ts'
dmner. Tbeas was engaged cutting the liver, using
for the purpose a knife the blad4 of which was
twelve inches In length. Gresser, while waiting for
tbe meat, walked over toward the door, and stood
Just inside. Tbe boys outside had returned »nd
resumed their taunts. Bscoming enraged, Theus
turned with the knife in Sis hand, and glaring at
them for a moment, hurled the weapon toward tbe
deor with temflc force. Tbe knife, however, went
wide of its mark, and took efieot in the left side oi
the boy Gresser, penetrating, it was beliaved, the
heart. Tne poor yontb with a groan sank to the
floor. Mrs Theus at tbe same time entered tbe
shop from the b£ok room and seeing the boy fall,
ran and picked him np m'ber arms, carried nim to
the room, where she laid him on tbe bed, and du-
patched Fuchs for a doctor. 'So humau skill couLt
avail, however, for tbe boy sank rapidly, and in
about ten mlnates from tbe time he was straok
breathed bis last. Tbeua made no effort to escape,
and looked upua everything guiug.on with a stolid-
icy that seemed brutal. He was taken into
custody, and arraigned before Jusuoe W.
K. Clute. He is not over four feet six inches
iu htighi, and while the lower part of his booy and
legs are of a proper proportion lor a man of that
height, he has tbe head and shoulders uf a giaat.
His large round bead is surmounted by a shook of
osarse hair, and his bloated fsce is sparsely
bearded. His personal appearanee is extremsly re-
pulsive." ^^^^^^
mow A DUEL WAS PRBYENIBD.
A strange event oceurred rooently m Prance,
outside the village of Vesinet, oa tbe Saint Germain
line. About 8 o'cloolt in tbe morning two carriages ar-
rived there, from each of which three gentlemen de-
scended. In the party wareM. Charles £ , an at-
torney's clerk, and H. Henri Borneguy, a gentleman
of prlvatemeans, the objeet of the meeting being that
the two might fight a dneL A dispute had taken
place between them the previous ni£;ht In a restau-
rant, seconds had been chosen, and all the prelimi-
naries arranged for an encounter outside Paris. It
was observed that, from tne moment that the
quarrel ocourxed, it. Domeguy did not allow
his passion to cool, but no one for a moment sus-
pected that tbe matter would end as it did. The
moment that M. Sornezuy aaw bis intended an-
tagunlst alight from his carriage be sprang upon
bim with fury, aud seizing him bv the throat threw
him on tbo ground senseless. This took place in
the uresencu of tbe four seconds, who weie too
mnob taken aback at tbe suddenness of the aot to
separate the men before tbe assailant had infiieted
serloas iojary on his adversary. The wunnded man
was carried away bleeding and helpiess. Before
quilting tbe field all the aeoonds expressed their
indignation at the outrage which aad been com-
mitted, but no legal procsedioics have yet been
taken in tha matter.

SIXTY YEARS OF WEDDED LIFE.
The Syracuse Journal of Friday contains tke
following interesting general statements: "Mr.
and Mrs. Samael W. Ketoham, old aud respected
residents of this city, are to-day eelebrating the
sixtieth annivarsary of their marriage. They have
resided here forty-two years. Mr. Eetoham is
eightv-four vsars old, and his wife, Nancy, eighty-
one years and six months. They are both natives
of Suffolk County, in this State. They both eujo.y
good health, and Mrs. Ketchum up to this day has
always dune her own house-work. The sixtieth
aniiiversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
Garson, formerly residents of this city, t»ok place
at their present renidence, in Sochester, Wednes-
day evening. Mr. Garson is eighty-three and bis
wile eiehty-two years old. A sistur of the bride-
groom, wbo att')nded the wedding, her aff* being
sevsn years, also attended the diamond wedding.
There were present between sixty and seventy
members of the family, iDolnding four chiidrsn,
thlrtv-alx grandohildran, and twenty-four graat-
grandohlldren." ^
MUTUAL OBEDIENCE,
• The Roekport (Ind.) Journal tells this story :
"A rural couple cant e into town on Tharsday In
search of a marriage license and a person author-
ized t« perform the marriage ceremony, both of
which they found withont delay, and repaired to
the Veranda Hotel, where a crowd followed them
and filled the parlors to witness tbe naptlala. Jus-
tice Bennett was called, and with his usual grace
uuiied tbem In tht holy bonds. The bride was
8om6What larger than the groom, and tor that rea-
son, perhaps. Justice Benaett, In pledging them,
made tbem say they would love, honor, and obey
f aob other. If any confliot of authority arises ia
tbat family, both parties will have a good defense to
any charge of Insubordination. As Ic was rumorad

MoMDAT, Not. fSr.—A. Mi
The statement of the ABSociated Banks,
issued froxD. the Clearing-house on Saturday
last, was a rather favorable exhibit, the sor-
plus reserve, owing to an increase of $1,019,000
in specie and a decrease of $1,3^1,500 in depos-
its, showing a gain of 1466,775, which raises the
amoant held by the hanks above legal require-
ments tb 19,811,810. The deerease of $8Si7,660 iu
legal tenders is partly due to remittances to the
Soath to facilitate the movement of the cotton
crop. The other changes in the statement are
a decrease ot $1,659,400 in loans^ and am in-
crease of $56,100 in circulation. «
The tollowing shows the eondition of the
banks on Saturday last, aa oonpared with the
previous statement, and with the Matement for
the corresponding week last year :

The money market ruled easy, with 2 and 5
^ cent, as the extreme rates for, oall loans.
The greater part of the hhsiness, , however,
was at 3 '2^ 4 W cent. Discoimts were qnieC at
4^6 ■a 6 ^ cent, for prime paper.
Tha foreign adtioea reported a higher market
for Bntisb oonsola and United States bonds.
The fitmnesB with which oonsoli are ibeld jns-
tities tbe belief that British capitalists do not
regard a general European war as imnunent.
The Bank of England lost £451,000 on balance
for the week endine Wednesday last. " The dis-
count rate remains unchanged at 2 iP* cent. .
The gold- market was weakened by the -pi-
cifio tenor ot the European advices and the
continued shipments of specie from the other
side, and the price deohned from i09% to
109. On gold loans the great balk of the
busiaeSB was at 2 ¥* cent, to flat ,
The sterling exchange market was somewhat
weaker, and late in the weekrates were reduced
from $4 82'V^ to $4 82 tor eO-day bills and from
$4 84^ to $4 84 for demand. At the close busi-
ness was done at concessions. The inquiry was
very light, while a fair amount of bills was
steadily made against shipaients of cotton and
other domestic produce to Europe.
Government bonds were firm early in tho
week, and prices advanced ^6 to ^6 ^ cent., un-
der a fair demand for investment. Toward the
close the improvement was partially lost , in
sympathy with the decline in gold. There
was an increased demand for railroad mortga^et,
and prices advanced in the general list. The
advance was most decided in the Ohio and
Mississippi, and Toledo and Wabash issues.
The former advanced 3 to 7 ^ cent., and the
latter 1 to 3 ^ cent The Northwestern and St.
Paul issiies were well matotalned, and the
Pacific issues comparatively steady. The New-
Jersoy Central issues were lower, especially for
convertibles. In State bonds, Distriet Colom-
bia 3.65s advanced a fraction. ; Missouris and
Tennessees were slightly lower, on a limited
amount of business.
Speculation on the Stock Exehan^e was ad-
versely affected by the paralysis in business of
all kinds, naturally resulting firom our politioal
troubles. Capital is proverbially timid, .and
though merohanta and bankers do not view the
present situation of affairs with ahytfaine ap-
proaching to serious alarm, and believe that
there is really no danger of civil conflict, there
still prevails among them a vague feeling
of uneasmess which ; is quite sufficient
to keep money locked up and nrevent it . fron
flowing into tbe ordinary channels of trade.
Another influence which tends to unsettle values
is tbe uncertainty in regard to the railroad war.
There was scarcely a day, mdeed, sowcely ^^an
hour during the past, week, that reports of the
most opposite o haraoter were not afloat on Wall
street in regard to this matter, tha stocks < Of
the trunk lines advahoiag or receding accord-
ing as the reports were favoi&ble or the re-
verse. Now it was Commodore Vanderbilt
who had "backed down," and again it was Hr.
Garrett who had sucouDtbed. Finally- both
stones proved to be without foundation, and
tbe end of the week left the question in the
same state of delightful uncertainty in which
it found it. .
The great bulk of the business was in Lake
Shore, Michigan Central, the coal Shares, the
granger stocks, Ohio and Mississippi, Western
Union, and Rook Island. Lake Shore fluctu-
ated between 58% and 56\6, with closing quota-
tions at 57Vft. Michigan Cehtral , advaaeed
from 42^ to 44%, declined to 42H, and again
rose to 44>4, closing at 44. The coal shares
made a heavy decline in consequence of
the low priees ' realised ■ at the auction
sales of coal, - hut . afterward were
made scarce for delivery, and -. under the
purchases of the shorts partially ' reoorered.
The late improvement, however, was deprived
of any signifloance by tho firsedom with which
sellers' options were put out at a large conoes-
sion from the regular price. >- Tbe granger
shares were flrmly held and advanced. Tbe
North-western Company is stated to be do-
ing a . very remunerative <£ business, and
to be in excellent fluaiiftial condition.
The speculation • in a Western : Union -^ was
utterly devoid ■■' of ' animation, but •> a
decisive movement in this stock is likelv to V oc-
cur at any moment, and it will then be <, seen
bow well or ill-founded are the claims , of • the
bears that the present ' prioa . oannot be xaain-
tamed in view of the falling off in telegraphio
receipts consequent upon the olose ef the Cen-
tennial and the politioal oampaign, and the
sweeping reduction in ratea decided upon by
the rival company, and which gees into opera-j

AAiinm THE NEW- YORK TIMBa
New-YotkCntv
In tbeir frantic endeavors to get that one
aancb-needed Electoral vote, the Democrats
have Teacbed oat as far as Oregon. When
it was discovered that they were one vote
short, Wm-tiAii M. GwiN, formerly Dake
of Sonora, telegraphed to Senator Kwlly,
of Oregon, somewhat sourly, "T have sup-
posed I had reason to rely upon your State."
Indeejd the "Dnke" went out to the Pacific
States, and, having •'fixed things," came
"back full of confidence that California,
Oregon, and Nevada were sure for Tilden.
He promised to deliver these States on elec-
tion cfay, and Tiij>es's friends proceeded to
gamhie on this sanguine statement. The
result was the utter defeat of the Democ-
racy in each of the States named. The ex-
. Duke, hoping to save at least one vote out
of the general vrreck, telegraphs, Nov. 11,
toKEiXY: "Spaireno exertion or expense
in lacking after the State. I will be re-
jpoosible." And this is the way Kelly
lor.ks after bis State. The latest report is
tliat the Democratic Governor of Oregon will
■ ot certify the election of Watts, one of
the Bepablican Electors, on the ground
that he was ineligible. It is pleasant to
know that an ex-rebel plotter bas adv«r-
ijKd. the fact that he ia " responsible."
Cz-Senator Footb, ofMississippi, has made
bis contribution to the already voluminous
^discussion of the constitutional questions
involved in the present political situation.
His first point is that the House of Rep-
resentatiyes bas the right tO' choose a
Pretfident only when there is no choice by
the people, and when three or more can-
di dates are running. The second point,
▼fhich is pat with something of the old-time
Ti^or of the distinguished Mississippian, is
that the Constitution explicitly invests each
of the States with fall power to appoint
Presidential Electors in such a manner as it
shall choose, and that the decision of
the Canva-ssing Board, by whatever name
called, cannot be reopened or reversed by
any power on earth. This seems to be
sound political doctrine, and is commended
to the " fanciful and shallow pretenders,"
an Mr. Footk calls those who chatter about
• the right to compel canvassers to lay their
work before a court tor examination and re-
vision. Judge Cartter, who has just re-
turned from South Carolina, takes the same
view aato the interference of Judges Mosks
and WiLLARD with the Returning Board of
iihat State. Tbe point which must be in-
"iistedupon, however, is that tbe choice of
Electors is purely a matter for the consid-
iration and regulation of the several States.
It is a dangerous doctrine to hold that any
power may interfere with this choice when
ujce it is made.
If it is true, as now reported, that Eng-
land and Russia are agreed as to tbe guar-
antees to be exacted of Turkey, existing
difficutties will be greatly simplified. This
report is fortified by a statement from
the Marquis of Salisbury, who may be
supposed to speak with some authority.
He says that if the Porte -were to enter iuto
sngagements with the great powers regard-
ing Turkish subjects, and the powers
should co-operate in the introduction of
fftipulatcd reforms, such an arrangement
conld not be considered as destructive
of the sovereignty of the Porte. It
IS nnderatood that England will not
oppose Ru.<iisia on this principle, provided it
is used in fratfiing the propositions to be
placed before the conference. It is taken
for granted that Turkey will consent to
some such compromise of dignity, though
she has heretofore b.^terly opposed every
proposition which seemed such an invasion
of sovereign right. Everything depends,
however, on the character of the demands
to be made by Russia. There are indica-
Irions that the English position in the con-
ference will not be dictatoriaL But it is by
no means certain that the expected Russian
ultimatum will be as pacific as the recent
itterances of the Czar would indicate.
ticket, is a United States Commissi oner.
The Democratic theory is that be was ineli-
gible " on the day of his appointment," as
we have often bad occasion to note. Mr.
William B. Gle^, therefore, will compel the
JForW to say : " Doubtlese the people of North
Carolina did not intend to throw their
votes away, but doubtless the people of
North Carolina did so throw their votes
away." " The pity of it," if we may still
further adopt tbe elegant language of the
Democratic organ, is that in North Carolina
the Democracy were so much engaged in
cheating that they forgot to scrutinize their
candidates. The Tildkn majority in the
State is thought to exceed 14,000, while
that of Va^ce is some 10,000 less.
Mr. Osborne has been ingeniously ap-
plying to the returns in Florida the process
of analysis by which Mr. Tildkn traced to
the Ring thieves their shares of the spoils.
Mr. Tildbn's theory was that if a persis-
tent and uniform relation between certain
facts could be established, it would be fair
to infer a persistent and uniform cause. On
the same principle, Mr. Osborne, having
discovered that there is a regular
increase of just one-third in the majorities
of the districts in Democratic hands, in-
ferred that the Democratic managers for the
State had ordered this increase. The con-
clusion is obviously a just one. The device
of leaving to the local agents the choice of
means by which to bring abotft the end de-
sired, was a clever one. It avoided too
mach sameness in the frauds. But the dis-
covery of the invariable ratio teUs the
story.
THE SITUATION IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Democrats of South Carolina are des-
perate. They have succeeded in bending
the Supreme Court to their will, by means
which, perhaps, the Democratic leaders in
this City could explain. It is generally re-
ported in Wall street that a brother of one
of tbe Judges of this court, who has been
known to be in Columbia during the con-
troversy, was confident before leaving New-
York that the court would take tbe
course which it has since taken. Snch
prescience at eucb distance, and con-
sidering the reckless course of the
court since, is enough to shake all
confidence in the purity of tbe
court. Judge Willaed, who is not uncon-
nected with ugly reports concerning Demo-
cratic "influence," remarked, incidentally,
the other day that the court spoke with the
"voice of GrOD." This was a blasphemous
way of saying that it acted independently
of human law, as it certainly does. But
whether divine inspiration accounts for the
blindness with which the court follows the
dictates of the Democratic managers may
be doubted. Judging by circumstantial
evidence so far developed, we would say
that the explanation was as false as it is
shockingly wicked.
„ Even Judge Willard, it seems, however,
hesitated to grant the order for issuing the
certificates which the Board of Canvassers
had declared itself unable to issue. This
would have been too bare-faced &n assump-
tion ot powers to which the court has no
more right than it has to seats on the
Queen's Bench of England. But at the
same time it was hinted that the certified
records of the court would answer every
purpose. This opens the question of what
will be done at the opening of the Legislature
to-morrow. Out dispatches indicate that there
may be serious trouble. The Legislature
will contain, according to the returns of
the Board ot Canvassers, a Republican ma-
jority in each branch. The Democrats,
however, intimate in a sinister way, that
enough Republicans will be absent from
tbe House to give them the majority neces-
sary for orgEyiization. To those who
know the Democratic facility in caus-
ing men to absent themselves, when
they are not wanted, this prediction is
nothing but a threat. But if it is
found that the Republicans have a majority,
the Democratic candidates from, Edgefield
and Laurens Counties will appear and claim
their seats, and, if the claim is not recog-
nized, will " enforce" it. The intention of
the Democrats is then to declare Hampton
Governor, and proceed to inaugurate him.
Should this be undertaken, it remains to
be seen how far Gov. Chamberlain will
see his way clear to resist such
open usurpation. Should he determine
to do so, an immediate occasion might arise
for the performance of the duty of the Fed-
eral Government to protect the State of
South Carolina from insurrection and do-
mestic violence. There can be no doubt
that the Democrats contemplate a high-
handed course. They may find, however,
before they get through, that they have
reckoned without their host. Gov. Cham-
berlain is the lawful Governor of the State
of South Carolina^ There is no dispute on
that point. He is not in the position of
Mr. Kellogg in 1874. He has a right, and
it is his duty, to protect the Legislature
against any lawless interference. In doing
so he has the right to Federal aid. Whatev-
er may happen, it will depend solely on the
Democrats to say whether the troubles in
South Carolina shall be peaceably settled.
North Carolina is to be added to the list
of States in trouble about Presidential Elec-
tors. It is discovered that William B.

ll^DEPENDENT NEWSPAPERS.
We have no wish to underrate independ-
ence in newspapers. The real thing is
worth a great deal, both to a paper and to
its readers. It is not in these days very
rare, because the great body of newspaper
readers are remarkably keen, as
well as honest, and do not care
enough for second-hand opiuions
to make it pay for papers to peddle them.
On the other hand, the time has pretty well
gone by when a party could give to a really
well-managed newspaper any special help
or advantage. The work of tbe newspaper
"organ," once important and profitable, is
no longer either, and it is not so much of a
virtue to be independent as those who
claim to have a monopoly of that quality
try to make it appear. On the other
hand, it is to bo remarked that there
13 a cant of independence which is as
insincere as vicious, and tbe mark of as
low a moral standard as anything in the
old-faahioned "organ" ever was. A news-
paper does not necessarily lose its ser-
vility, or its desire to mislead, be-
cause it loudly abjures all party ties.
It is quite aa easy — perhaps e.isier —
to make an idol of private interests
or personal prejudices, and call on the pub-
lic to fall down and worship it, as it is to
I set up a poetical party for indiscriminate
L Annxoval. And itia ouite' as easy to be ba.
trayed into stupid partiality or ingenious
evasion and perversion of tbe truth by a
steady wish to maiatain a claim to peculiar
independence, as it is to do tbe same for the
^.dvantage of a party.
Probably some of our readers may have
made these reflections tor themselves, if
they happen to be of the few who see the
more ostentatious of these " independent"
papers. The course of the latter, during
and since the close of the canvass, was very
remarkable. They were, by their own state-
ment, in favor of Gen. Hayes' election.
Of course, they were "reformers." No truly
independent newspaper writer is willing to
put up with things as they are. If he did,
he could make very little demand for his
view of how things ought to be. It is tame
business profesf ing content with any situa-
tion ; and moreover, no community
could long think that a man or
a paper was really of a higher
order than themselves unless he or it
found fault freely. Being reformers, the
papers to which we have, referred could not
very well refuse to see that Gen. H.vyes waS
very earnest in reform. All his words,
backed by aU his acts, showed that. But
so much conceded, nothing could
prove the severe impartiality of these
critics so well as to point out that
Gen. Hayes probably could not do anything
for reform, and that Mr. Tilden, who never
even Mated that he wanted any systematic
reform, could and would do a great deal in
that direction. The question being which
would improve the Government most, the
Republicans or tbe Democrats, these lofty
guides would not stoop to strike a balance
between tbe evidence for one and the evi-
dence for the other; that, they said, would
be teaching that two wrongs made a right.
Their way was to exaggerate the 'faults and
failings of the Republican palrty, to ignore
its elements of strength and virtue, and to
speak only soft words of the Democrats. If
Mr. Tilden had consented to the repudia-
tion of the Resumption act, the Republicans
should not complain, because, if they had
brought about resumption years ago, it
would not now be an issue. If the Demo-
crats of the South were pressing rebel
claims, the Republican^ should remember
that if they had allied the South to their
party by ties' of tender affection, the South
would not be pressing claims. If Mr. Tel-
den had cheated the Government out of
bis income tax, these jourBals were sorry if
that was to be a disqualification for the
Presidency ; besides, the Republicans should
not forget the Sanborn contracts and the
Credit Mobiher. In other words, though a
great Democratic fault would not balance a
Republican fault however slight, no slip of
the Republicans was so small that
it did not make the gravest Dem-
ocratic vice a virtue. If any one
objected that this was practically help-
ing the Democrats very much and not help-
ing the Republicans at all, our independent
friends replied that that was none of their
business. They existed in order to give
to the world their own infallible ideas.
Having expressed their opinion that
the election of Hayes would be
best for the country, they were
not going to break down their reputation
for independence by " throwing their influ-
ence " in his favor. If they did that, they
would be no better than partisans. The
common herd might argue for the man of
their choice. To be independent it was
necessary to argue for the other man. *
Since the close of the canvass, these very
independent organs of their individual edi-
tors have attracted somewhat more atten-
tion than they deserve. They have pretty
constantly devoted themselves to showing
that if Mr. Hayes is elected by the returns
of the State Canvassers in Louisiana,
it will be a great blow to the Con-
stitution and a, fearful strain on the
Republic. One of them — the pettiest
of the lot — informs a ^mall circle
of readers in Western Massachusetts that
if this calamity falls upon the country, it
will advise submission, but it appears un-
willing to be responsible for the conse-
quences. The idea of drifting into a future
where a fourth-rate newspaper in Springfield
will not consent to be responsible for events
is.of course, an appalling one; but as the vote
of Louisiana has apparently been given for
Hayes, and must be returned by its State
Canvassers, we do not see how we are going
to be saved. It was reported at one time
that Mr. Charles Francis Adams — who, as
certain persons in Springfield are often re-
minded, is the second gieatest man in Mas-
sachusetts— was on his way to New -Orleans
to look after the Returning Board. If he
had gone, all might have been well. As it
is, we see no way but for the country to
take its President, legally elected by such
means as are provided, and get on as best it
can.
As for the schemes of the Democrats —
their prostitution of the Judiciary in South
Carolina, their retention of the back
counties in Florida in order to copy the
.Tilden-Tweed game of 186S in New- York,
their threats of preventing an orderly count
of the Electoral vote in February,
their vaporing about a second President
inaugurated in New-York, their Mexican
plan of dividing tbe Army and Navy, their
usurping pretensions regarding the powers
of the House — it would be belowthe dignity
of a truly independent newspaper to bestow
much attention on tbe^se. To do so would
be to follow in the steps of Repub-
lican journals, and that would be partisan.
It is much better to sneer at President
Grant's quiet proparatioos for preserving
order and peace in the national caiiital, and
to preach to the Republicans about their
responsibility for everything that the Dem-
ocrats d^ Or omit tO do. That is tbe path
of perfect independence — independence not
only of party, but of common seuse and of
natriotism.

TWO NECESSARY LAWS.
There were two bills which came before
the last Legislature under circumstances
which seemed to render their passage cer-
tain, but which failed to become laws. One
of these was what bas been since known as
the Convict Labor bill; tbe other was the
bill to reorganize the Police force. For rea-
sons pateqt to everybody, Gov. Tilden
chose to veto the former, and the latter died
a natural death in the Assembly chamber.
Jt was never voted upon. The committee
reported it ; the bill went into general or-
ders, and in general orders it still remained
when the Legislature a Vjourned. Though
tha Governor detected an opportunity to
■•■■ " - , ■ A,- '
make political capital out of tbe Convxot
Labor bill, and there was some attempt on
the part of - naen seeking its defeat to mix
Up political matters with the Police bill,
yet both measures were really as far re-
moved from politics as any affecting our
Municipal administration could possibly be.
They were simply and actually business
regulations, aflfeoting two important de-
partments of the City Government ; and
they were both so obviously sound and cor-
rect that it is only a question of time when
the principles embodied m them will be
applied to these departments in obedience
to an imperative popular demand. The pur-
pose of the Convipt Labor bill was to em-
power the Commissioners of Charities and
Correction to employ the convicts and
paupers under their charge, in any kind of
labor which in their judgment would be
most remunerative. This is what the coun-
ty authorities of Albany have done for more
than twenty years, and the Albany Peni-
tentiary bas become one of the model penal
institutions of the country. It is the
system under which our State Prisons are
conducted ; though persistent mismanage-
ment has made these institutions a burden
on the State, instead of self-sup-
porting, as they ought to be, and
as we have no doubt they will be in due
time. Under our present law, the County
Commissioners of New- York are restricted
to certain kinds of labor, such as getting
out storfe, &c., on which their charges can
be employed. One consequence, of this is,
that half the time these paupers and con-
victs are unemployed; they are always an
unprofitable burden, and it was in obedi-
ence to the recommendation of both As-
seihbly and Senate Investigating Commit-
tees, the New- York Prison Association, and
the urgent requests of gentlemen who have
made prison discipline a study, that the
Convict Labor bill was prepared and by
the Legislature passed upon favorably. It
met its death in the Executive Chamber;
and so long as Mr. Tilden remained in of-
fice and was seeking votes for the Presi-
dency, it was useless to oass any biU of like
character. There will be no such obstacle
next session, and a bill having the same
object, with any defects which might have
existed in the other corrected and elimi-
nated, ought to be introduced and pressed
to its passage. There is no reason why the
City and County of New- York should be by
law compelled to maintain its paupers and
convicts in semi-idleness, while the authori-
ties of other counties are left free to do as
they please.
In regard to the Police bill, its chief
feature was the provision for dividing the
Pohce force into three grades, correspond-
ing to length of service and the efficiency
of the men. This is clearly and obviously
the proper system of organization. It is a
system on which every large manufactur-
ing establishment is conducted. The du-
ties of a policeman are such as require no
little training, and in proportion to the
intelligence of the new men and the fit-
ness they discovered for the duties would
be the progress to the higher grade and
the corresponding rate of pay. The chief
opposition to the bill grew out of the re-
duction of salaries it proposed. The first
grade of men were to receive $1,200 a year
(the present salary ;) the second, $1,000 ;
the third, $800. An active opposition was
immediatelv commenced against the meas-
ure, on the ground that it would be unjust
to men who were receiving $1,200 a year to
reduce their pay twenty-five per cent. To
remove any objections of this nature, the
bill was amended in committee so as to
make its pro-visions apply only to men who
should join the force after it should become
law. In this form the bill was reported to the
House. Its passage seemed assured, for the
reorganization of the force in the way it pro-
posed had been urged by the Investigating
Committees before referred to. They agreed
upon the necessity for this at least, where
they disagreed on nearly everything else.
Unfortunately the bill came up late in the
session, when nothing but entire good faith
on the part of its presumed friends, and en-
ergetic work in getting it forward, would
bring the measure to that stage when its
merits could ba fairly discussed, and a
direct vote could be taken upon it. Like a
number of other good bills, secret opposi-
tion killed it. The bill stuck on the cal-
endar far below where it could be reached
in the ordinary way, and a two-thirds vote
to move it forward could not be obtaine d.
When the Legislature adjourned it was one
of the many bills left behind dead, but the
principle of grading was not killed thereby,
as some secretly hoped ; and substantial
good will follow its application to our
Police force. No injustice will be done to
any man by making the law which effects
this apply only to men engaged after it goes
into effect.
COLLEGES, OUTSIDE AND IN.
A series of articles on the colleges of the
country, which has been appearing of late
in Scribner^s Magazine, discovers a new
phase in the history of American establish-
ments for higher learning. The mere fact
that 80 dry a subject, and, one might think,
so unpicturesque a field, could be profitably
explored by a magazine remarkable for the
excellence of its illustrations, is in itself
surprising. Beauty of exterior is not
an attribute readily associated with one's
idea of American colleges, nor is it
to be expected that such places abound
in other things picturesque enough to
attract the eye of a magazine reader.
No system of photography has been in-
vented 80 far that would reproduce tbe
things for which collegas are really sup-
posed to bo famous. Tbe interior of a col-
lege Professor's brain, and the edifice of
learning that he attempts to build in the
mind of a student, are abstraciious hardly
reducible to color and outline ; but it is of
such abstractions that we had supposed the
chief value of colleges to consist. Looking
at the series in Soniner, however, one ia
tempted to iuciuire whether American col-
leges are not more remarkable for architec-
tural progress and novel whims of ambitious
builders than anything else. From Yale
and Harvard to the youngest and smallest
of the learned fraternity comes the
same tale of palatial halls, memo-
rial buildings, spacious gymnasiums,
magnificent cabinets of natural his-
tory. Harvard h.is her Momorlal Hall, con-
taining a room largo enough to seat four
hundred students at meals. Ys^le adds a
new and highly-decorated chapel to the
modern line of her future auadransle. Union
erects a strange library memorial. Prince-
ton is in tbe field with several majestic
structures. And so they all go. The oldest
and largest are, perhaps, comparatively tbe
least bitten with the rabies cedificandl, when
one considers the relative number of stu-
dents. They furnish, it is true, a number of
specimens of what our leading architects
can do in the line of "modern mixed," but
the small colleges of which one has never
heard, recently-founded colleges for women,
and such institutions, absolutely blossom all
over with the freaks of rising architects
hampered by the aesthetic idiosyncrasies of
college Faculties. Hence it is that views
taken of late years from the green in front
of almost any American college exhibit
some costly structure which figures well in
the list of advantages of that particular
abode of learning, and hence, too, the impres-
sion on the magazine reader that American
colleges are very well-to-do and progressive
establishments. Now comes the question
whether all this show has a sound, normal
growth, or whether college Faculties are
exhausting their resources in one direction,
when their best powers should be expended
in another.
Nothing is easier 'ihan to take the gloomy,
the cynical, the pessimistic view of this ques-
tion, and take it the more readily the more
important the subject, on a nearer examina-
tion, appears. It is not possible to repeat
too often the old axiom that on education
the fate of this country depends. With the
tide of ignorant immigration from Europe
continually angmenting the ignorance of
our great cities, with the South full of un-
taught blacks and even more degraded poor
whites, with California importing China-
men, and, in our very midst, religious forces
that would be glad to lay hands on our
educational systems and wrench them into
harmony with their peculiar views, no one
who will think a moment can fail
to see that education in the broad-
est modem sense requires every atom
of strength, every dollar of means, to be
applied in the most oconomical manner.
With this consciousness, then, it is the easi-
est thing in the world to throw up the
sponge, growl at the obtuseness of college
Faculties, and, pointing to the vast ex-
penditures in brick and mortar, freestone
and marble, declare that the higher pur-
poses of learning are being lost sight of,
and that comfort and splendor are taking
the place of poverty and real learning. And
there are, undoubtedly, considerations in
favor of this hopeless view. The salaries
and numbers of Professors and instructors
have not kept pace with the growth of
colleges in worldly means. The fact that a
college is a body of able and thoroughly
equipped teachers appears to have been
strangely confounded with an idea that it
is tbe buildings that compose it. College
Faculties will throw the blame for such a
state of affairs on the givers of bequests.
They will tell you that so much money has
been left the college for this specific object,
so much for that, and how the donors re-
quire, as a rule, something tangible, like a
dormitory or a hall, to which tbeir names
shall always attach. But this cannot en-
tirely account for the want of liberality in
paying existing Professors and increasing
their number relatively to the students
under their care. We are forced to believe
that college Faculties are a good deal like
private individuals when it comes to erect-
ing buildings. They start with modest
ideas and moderate eHtxmates, but end in
absorbing all the funds available.
We said it is easy to be cynical and growl.
There is, however, another and far broader
way of regarding the matter. What does it
mean, this springing up of costly edifices at
each centre of learning over tbe face of the
country ? Manifestly, that the people take an
extraordinary interest in education in gen-
eral— colleges in particular — and by these
frequent bequests confirm the fact. But if
this be the case, it is likely there is plenty
more money in store for them, and that
boards and Faculties have slyly taken a leaf
from the books of religious men in all ages,
who expend their fuuds as far as they will
go, and then confidently demand further
assistance. In a young and growing
land, where people are much influenced
by ontside appearances, this policy may
prove to be the correct one. Yet it
must always be remembered that its
success depends on the financial state of
the nation, and, during a season as un-
prosperous as tbe present, that a contin-
uance of bequests appears at least problem-
atical. Are college Presidents quite sure
that funds will be forthcoming to enlist the
necessary number otf teachers of the requi-
site quality, who shall vivify their lux-
urious lecture-rooms with the only article of
prime importance-^true learning? It is not
for us to judge. We only want them to re-
member that silence of the people is not for-
getfulness, nor want of criticism in the
press indifference.
THE "LIFE OF SOCIETY."
In the interesting communications which
have appeared at different times, from va-
rious correspondents in our columns,
on female education, the usual weak-
ness of the reformer who takes up
the evils afflicting the sex is not
escaped ; that is, the considering the yonng
woman to be educated as an abstract
woman, and not as she is. When co-educa-
tion of the sexes is urged, we have argu-
ments presented which apparently consider
young men and women as purely abstract
entities, and not as youths an4 maidens of
strong feelings and passions, at the most
impressible time of life. So of some of the
objections against tbe public schools. They
would be true, no doubt, against places of
education for young ladies of fortune, and
who could enjoy every luxury. They seem
" bare and hard," no doubt, to those who
*havo studied in comfortable libraries,
under accomplished teachers, or who are
familiar with small and refined schools,
where art and comfort surround the pupils.
But the public schools are not made for
these. They are designed for the great
multitude of girls who must either work for
a living, or be the wives of men in moderate
circumstances, and especially for those who
cannot afford more expensive places of
learning. We do not denv that a little
more attention to beauty and the study of
art would not be out of place oven in them.
In this view it is wise that our Board of
Education have promoted the practice of
free-hand drawing in the schools of some of
the wards. Still these schools should never
bo made so attractive or elegant in their
studies, as to interfere with tbe girls doing
practical work in bard places. ■ "^ "
When we come to the schools for tbiei for-
tunate or wealthy classes, every parent is
obliged to consider certain practical ends.
The immense majority of young women in
this rank of life are not to become students
in after life, or professional workers, or even '
teachers. They will in all probability take
charge of ordinary business or professional
men's homes and their own families. Be-
yond the circle of their own children and
relatives, their greatest influence will be in
the " life of society." We do not mean by
this what bias been technically called "so-
ciety " hithOTto in New- York or any similar
large city. As our civilization ripens in
America, a larger and finer mfluencp
is being developed for women, in
the converse and . intercourse of social life.
There are women now in Boston, New- York,
and other cities whom to know is a cul-
ture, who constantly and gracefully influ-
ence all men and women brought within
their social circles, and who give a new
ideal of society and intelligent intercourse.
Such women soften asperities, refine, and
civilize, give a new stimulus to intellect,
and make social success a prize jn iteeK.
They are usually women of solid "culture,
but not of a book-worm kind, who have
learned much also in the world, and who
have the art of conversation. Now, such
ladies are to increase, and with them the
large multitude, not so brilliant, who can
appreciate the talk of intelligent men.
Education must somewhat consider the sub-
ject of training for this higher social life.
It is true, as one correspondent has said,
that the more cultivated men are leaving
" society," so called, and, finding clubs more
satisfactory than much of the conventional
social intercourse. It is undoubtedly the
fact that the natural result of the training
of fashionable boarding-schools is a mental
condition peculiarly uninteresting to the
cultivated masculine sex, and that such in-
stitutions do not prepare for " society" at
all. But this does not prove the impossi-
bilty of so arranging tbe mental training
as to fit a yonng girl for bright and intellec-
tual intercourse.
We doubt if severe courses of Greek and
mathematics, as is proposed at Gurton Col-
lege, will accomplish this. And we are
quite confident that vears in a woman's
college are not the bpst sort of preparation
for home life, not to mention the danger to
physical condition involved in them. It
wUl, of course, be replied that all young
woman are not to be " wives and mothers,"
or to lead in social life ; and that some must
be single and must be trained to support
themselves. Admitting this, we still must
arrange plans of avocation for the majority,
and we must take tbe sex as it is. Ameri-
can young women ought to be equal phys-
ically to men, but- we know, in fact, that
they are not. We must plan our courses of
study with reference to this broad fact. It
is certainly possible that a moderate course
of thorough English and Latin training
could be given our young girls, with
(what is usually neglected in our
higher classes) good arithmetical drill,
while studies like history or po-
litical economy or natural sfience
could be frugally intermixed, which should
not strain the nervous system, and yet
should give a solid foundation. The great
matter in any education is to know one or
two things thoroughly, and to have the
faculties in easy command. A woman with
one or two sclid acquirements in society
has a great advantage. Then, conversation
must be learned at the home-table. For
such a training, the best system would seem
to be home life, with a small, refined day-
school, whose results were tested by a uni-
versity examination. There would then be
thoroughness and exactness, and yet the
grace and modesty which belong espe-
cially to a retired training. The results
would be equally suitable for a teacher's
iVfe of work, or for a home life.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
THE presidential QUESTION ^ AND JEF-
FERSON'S FIRST ELECriOX.
To the Editor of the New-York Times:
At this time a remmisaence of the prooeed-
inas connected with Jefiferson's fli-st election may
be interesting to your readers. The Constitution
now requires that the Presidential Electors shnll
meet in their respective States and vote for Presi-
dent and Viee President; bat at that time— 1800 1—
they were reqoired to vote for President only, the
person having the largest number of votes to be
President, and the person having the next highest
to be Vice Presi lent. It was then, as now, the
(inty of the Electors m each State to sign
and certify the result, and transmit it sealed,
to the seat »jf the Government of the United States,
directed to the President of the Senate. It was then,
as DOW, the doty of the President of the Senate,
in the presence of the Senate and Honse of Reore-
sentativea, to open all the certificates and count
the votes. Mr. Jeflfersor, being Vice President ot
the United State?, was the presiding officer of the
Senate. On opening the package indorsed " Georgia
votes," it was discovered to be totally irregular ;
the return of the votes was ooc authenticated by
the 'sigpatnres of the Electors, or any of ihem,
either on the outside or inside of tbe envalope, or
in any othar manner; it m=!rely s'ated in the in-
side that the votes of Georgia were— for Thomas
Jefferson f.ur, and for Aaron Burr four —
without the signature of any pbrsin whatsoerer.
One of the tellers sugcested to the other thai the
paper should be handed to the presi'lini officer,
without any statement Irora tbe tellers «xcept that
the returns were lutormal, nnier the cooviction
that Mr. JeiFijraon w»nld announce the nature of
theiiformaliiy from ihachair; but to theirsjipriie,
he [Mr. JtlTersonl rapidly declared that, i he votes
et Georgia were four for Thoma* Jefferson and four
fur Aaron Burr, without uoticmc their informality,
and m a hurried manner put them asia •, and then
Dioke the seals and handed to the tellers the pack-
affes from the next State. Thenumljer of Electoral
votes given at tbe election in 1800 was 138; neces-
sary to a ch )ice, 70. Mr. Jeffjison and .Mr. Bnrr ^
had each, accordiua to the return made, 73.
Georgia gave fi)ur vote*. If that nnmber had
becu dedacteJ from Jcff'rson and Burr as i les.illy
returned, thev wonl.t have had only sixt^-nino votes
Mcb, and not "a majority of the whole auml)er of
Electors appointed." Aud the candidates out of
which a choice of President mnst; l»e mafie would
have been Mr. Jeffernon, Mr. Burr. ilr. Adams, and
Mr. Pinckniy.' The Federal members wouM then
have had it in thtir power to compel toe li'paljli-
cans to ioin them iu electmz Burr, Adams, or
piuckney, or hlock the wheeU of the Government.
There flot beiiie a intijority for any (Vie person for ,
President iu the Electoral vote, it devo ved on tlie
House of Kepresentatives to elect. On the first
ballot Oeff'-rson received the votes of eight
Sttteg, Bnrr six States, and two were
divideil. Tlie balloting continnod from the
11th to the 17th ot February, when Jefferson
was declared duly elected, ten States haviog voted
for him. It was not claimua, at that day, that
either the Senate or tho House of IRepresontatives
had wythihK to do with counting or declaring the
Electoral voie beyond being present at the counting
by the proaiding oflaoer of the Senate. S. S.

The action of the Board of State Canvass

Una seems to t>c so mach misanderstocd. that il
would be well to state briefly, from antfaoatu
sources, what were the actual proceedingg in tbe
Supreme Court and of tbe Board of 6tato Cu.
vaseera.
The duties and powers of tbe board, at« thoae
Tisually residing in such boards. Sections 3C
and 27 of an act approved Jfarck 1, 1670, are ai
follows: ■..■;'.; „ :'^":'.-- •'->' ''^- ■.^■; ,1>

eoieg wilder protest or contest thkt man ante, «Am '._
the power to do so does not, by ike Oonitihrtioit, n
side in some other hody.
The exception here refers to. the offices oi
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, deeitioo
on which, in case of contest, is with tbe LegM-
lature.
On the 14th of November Mr. Yonmans, fot
the Democrats, saked the Supreme Coort for
two writs — one of mandanuis to compel tii«
board to perform the purely ministerial fuse-
tion " of ascertaining from the managers
[County Canvassers'] returns what nersoiu
have the highest number of votes, and oertify
ing the statements thereof to the Secretary ol
State ;" and one of prohibition " from hearini
any protest or contest, and from exereisiiig
any jailieial fnnct^ns whatever touctaing the
elections."
The court adjotimed to the 16th to give Hbt
counsel of tbe board time to answer.
Oa the 16th of November the motioiis were
* argued and the court adjtmtned.
On the 17th the court' again sat, and tlie
Chief Justice [MosesJ said that " the court had
ezamiued the su{;geBtion8 of mandamus asd
those m prohibition, and before it proceeds tc
final judgment It desires to save time, • • *
and that the cbtirt requires an order to be
drawn that the Board of State Canvasaen
foithwith proceed to codnt and compare th<
returns, and make a report of the reeait to the
court, and certify their action in tbe premisM
to the court."
Counsel on both sides thea consulted as to
such an order, but failing to agree as to th^
terms, such an order 'was thereupon issued b^
the court iteel/— Associate Justice Wright dis-
senting from so much of the order aa required
the board to oertily their action in . the prem-
ises to the court.
The order did not ertend to tbe offices a
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, wfaiehif
was understood were left by law to the d«eisiO!r
of the Greneral Assembly-
It will be observed that this is, so £xr, the
only order issued, that it was imderstood tc b«
intermediary, and that it leaves the onginai
motions still imdeoided.
On the 18th, the board not being ready ih
report, further arguments were heard by the
court on the motions for mandamus and prohi-
bition, and the Court adjaumed without ex-
pressing any opinion, (riving counsel on eithei
side privilege of submitting written arguments
belore 10 A M. Monday, if they should bo de-
sire.
Monday, Nov. 20, the board not yet report
ing, affidavits were presented to the court by
tbe Democratic counsel, on which they asked
an order from the court requiring the Board .<rf
Caiivassers in reporting their action under tho
order ot Nov. 17, to report to the court at the
same time all errors and irregularities in ^e
statements of the County Canvassers, " and U
annex to their reports all official documents and
papers in their possession shounng the nature mm/
ciiaracl r of such errors and irreguUxrities."
The Democratie counsel said, "no netaas
had been cuven, and he aid. not suppose titt
other side would object." ^'
The order was so outrageous in its require-
ments, that Chief Ji&tice Moses said: "It
seems to me to be a very irregular mode ei
proceedmg." Associate Jud^e Willard said:
" What responsibility are the board under in
virtue of that order! They are not Commis-
sioners in equity nor Referees at law. Tktqf art
not in performance of a power conferred upon
them by this court. It seems to me you haw
mistaken your right." The order asked fofc
was not granted, and the court adjourned tf
await the report of the board.
Nov. 21, on the opening of the court, Mr. D-
T. Corbin, counsel for the Board of St^te Can-
vassers, moved that the order of Nov. 17 be re-
Bciuded, arguing that it was an interlocatery
order, and always subject to the discretion ol
tbe court ; that it was in the nature of mandar
mus, and that it could not be issaed at that
stage of the procsedmgs. During the ai^a-
ments which followed. Judge Willard said:
"I cannot see the object of asking the court to past
upon the abstract question " [that of the exer-
cise of judicial powers by the board] " m^ itt
eyes shut ; we want to know who received the high-
est number of votev." And again, later, he eaid :
'• We do not want to decide the abstract guostiofn
of law and then have you come before us on the
application of those questions to the facts." '
It thus appears that the relative position ol
the Supreme Court and of the board was th's:
The Supreme Court, before it would decide an
abstract qu<.*tioi) of law, wmted to know what
tacts (whose election) would be affected by itr
decision.
The board asked to know by what construction
ot the law it was to decide questious of fact
Associate Ju.lge Wright probed the matter
to the quick when he said : " I take an entirely
different view of the proeeedings before the
court," and later on he said, referring to hia
dissent tioui that part ot the order of the 17th
of November requiring the board to ccrtifj
their action to the court. " I dissented f or th«
reason that I did not consider it necessary that
the court should know whether A, B, or C wat
elected, and the only question before the oourl
was one of law, whether the board had the
power to hear and determine protests and con-
tests. To pass that part of the order I thoughJ
would be to turn the court into a political VfOr
chine to elect paities."
Later in tl}0 day Mr. Corbin iu Emitted th«
report of the Board of State Canvassers, reading
only its conclusion, part of which was as follows :
*• This statement is made to the court in obe-
dience to it« order of Nov. 17, 1876, but it ii '
respectfully submittod that, under the present
proceedings in this court, this board ie ttot, hy
law, compelled to report anv of its actions tc
the com-t." The statement then recites pertain
errors, and the resulte from correcting the same^
and lurther. that allegations and evidences uJ
fraud had been filed with the hoard as to Ah

^eotiona in Edsefield, Barnvell, and Laurens
Coonties. The body ot the report of the board
showed that on Ibe face of the returns two
Demodratio members of Congress would be
elected, a part of tha Democratic State ofiSoers,
and such Democratic members of the General
Assembly as would jtive them a majority of one
on ioint ballot; but it also showed that, on the
lace of the same returns, the Republican Elec-
tors of President and Vice-President were
elected, and also some of the State officers —
Elliott, Cardoza, and Hayne.
This simple statement furnishes in part a so-
lution to the question, which naturally arises,
why the court had not yet after seven days
decided the plain question of law, which, as
Judf^e 'Wriabt said, " was the only one before
the court, vij!., whether the board had the
power to hear protests and contests," and why
Democr'atao counsel did. not dare to press tor
Its decision. It is evident that a frightfully ag-
graTatin); dilemma presented it^If to the Dem"
Moats.
The face of the returns gave the conti'ol of
the State Government to the Democrats, and
notwithstanding; the frauds in-Ei^cefield and
Lanrens, the Electoral ticket to Hayes. Itj on
motion of Democratic counsel, the court denied
to the board the power to hear nrotests and
oontests, then, though they would have gained
their great end, the possession of the State,
they would at the same time have dealt an al-
most fatal blow to the important, but to them
secondary, end — the success of Tilden.
If^ on the other hand, the coart had decided
that the boaird had the power m question, they
would have endangered the possession of the
State, and could hardly then have hoped to
make out a ease for the rejection of the Hayes
Electors, and the threats and ictimidations of
the rifle clubs, the massacres of Hamburg and
£l]enton would have been in vain.
But, as we shall see. the effrontery of the
counsel and their advisers was equal to the
emerjiency, as it is an open secret that the pro-
oeedmgs in court were daily transmitted by
telegraph to New-York, and the action of Dem-
ocratio counsel inspired from thence.
On the statement of the Board of State Can-
vassers being received, the Democratic counsel
request time to examine the statement and con-
isalt. They then ask the court to grant two
orders, (one for each horn of the dilemma.)
T!he first, " that the board do certify to be cor-
rect the statement of the whole number of
Totes for members of General Assembly,
• * • and determine and declare what ner-
Bons have been by the greatest number of votes
dected to such offtces, * * * make certif-
icate of their determination, and deliver it to
ibe Secretary of State, who shall transmit a
VQupj to each person declared to be elected,
• • ♦, and that they shall do the same in
reference to members of Congress." » * »
This order, if granted, would give them a
^Demooratio Legislature, and consequently the
Qovemor and Lieutenant Governor and two
members of Congress, which was all they
needed, and more than their most sanguine
hBpes had expected.
The second order was the one of the previous
day, now brought up again, " to compel the
board to surrender to the court all of-
Bolal documents showine the nature
and character of errors and trregular-
itiea." So that the court, after by the
fbnner order giving them the State, might at last
pass upon the original question, and so decide
whether the board had power to go behind the
faoe of the returns as to the Republican Elec-
tars and Republican State cfBcers. The plaia
veudng of these two orders is :
1. W© have the State Legislature ; issue the
certificates and don't go behind the returns.
2l We have lost the Presidential Electors and
^ost of the State officers ; send us the papers,
and then we will decide whether you shall go
behind the returns or not.
r When the court entertained such motions it
already indicated what answer it would give,
but ft at least preserved the faint show of dig-
nity by not granting the orders at once, and
adjourned alter lon^ arguments.
• But delay was all in favor of the Democrats.
It was well known to all concerned that the
statute defining the powers and duties of the
board limited their sitting to ten days. This
period expired about noon the next day. If
the board had not fulfilled its duties by that
tine, and certified its determination and made
certificate of election according to the statute.
It would no longer have had legal existence —
fwould have been incompetent to perform a
>am)^e function, could not have given validity
fto any certificate, and would not, as a board,
be longer amenable to judicial control.
/ What would have been the inevitable result?
The Supreme Court, the only legally constituted
body in possession of the records of the elec-
tion, though illegally wrunz trom the board,
•would have assumed, with alacrity, the re-
sponsibility of declaring the result of the elec-
tion. Was not the accomplishment of tDis de-
sirable end the object of the deliberate policy
jrf the Democrats, and would not its success
have t>een a source of the gravest peril to the
Bepnblicans ?
We now come, to the 22d November— the last
drentful day. The Board ot State Canvassers,
faavine obeyed the only mandate of the Su-
preme Court addressed to them, in full view of
4he plain requirements of the statute, with but
K few hours left them of legal existence, and
Iteing without further express instructions or
orders of the court, met at 10 A. M. to complete
t&eir duties. Their minutes show:
' That thev corrected the errors referred to in their
ftstemenc to the coart, namely, coaotine the votes
east for i". C. Dunn as Controller Geoeral, and Jotin
. B. Tolbert as Saperintradent of Edacation, for
T. D. Dnnn and John E, Tolbert, respectively, for
tsai officea.
The (ollowing certificates and deterraination of
the board were aabmitled and adopted : | Here fol -

On the quegtioD as to whether rlie statement of

Ctmntte* stioold be included in the sraremont and
detenninatlon of the board, the uiajoriiv voted in
the B«i;alive. The board then adiourned suic die-
about 1 P. K.
In the meantime the Supremo Court, having
dallied with the main question of lay.' irntil
wlthis a few hours of tlie determinaiiou ot the
boards legal existence, met at 11 A. M. aud
granted the principal part of the order a-oked
DB tha previous day, viz.: That a writ of
peremytoiy mandamus do issue, directed to
the Board of State Canvassers and the Secre-
tary ot State, cummandins tbem to forthwith
declare duly elected, and ' to issue certificates
to, the persons who received the «:reate^t num-
ber of Vote* for ofBcos ot Senators and mem-
bers of the House fit liepreseutatives, (Stato.)
There is so far no evidence that the members
of the_ board, individually or in their coiiectivo
capacity, had any knowledge of this writ until
after their adjournment sine die.
The court, after a short recess to give Demo-
oratic counsel opDortunity to amend or divide
their second order of the previous day, met at
1 P. M., and thfn, on very lengthy affidavits
and motions (or susigestiwns) presented by
counsel, recitmjr "the irreiiularities in certain
counties as to Siesidential Electors, and neglect
or failure to act on the part ot the board, and
asking that the boaid shall proceed according
to law and eubaiit to the court their report.
and that the board shall brinu into court all
official papers and documents, &c.," the court
ordered that a rule do issue requiriuiitlie Board
of State Canvassers to show cause on Friday,
the 24th, (two days after the time when tiie
board would cease to exist.) why a writ of
mandamus should not issue in accordance with
the prayer oi the said suggestion.
The court then took up other business.
Now, in view of this recital of wnat actually

' Paris, Wednesday, Nov. 15, 1876.
Even those persuna who have constantly
maintained the impossibility of war between
two European nations growing out of the East-
ern question, have had their faith rudely shaken
during the past two days. The speech of Lord
Beaconafield looked a little oelliijerent, and,
when read in connection with the speech of the
Emperor Alexander, at Moscow, contained
nothing assurihg. And these warlike words
on both sides have been followed by acts of like
import, for Russia has undoubtedly mobilized
her Army, ond England has ordered two more
ships of war to Besika Bay. These things de-
stroyed the hopes of a peaceful solution repos-
ing in many a mind, and yesterday the public
became convinced that war was certain and in-
evitable. It may be. assuredly ; but it does not
exactly follow from the speech of the Czar, for,
whether he desires peace or war, he could
scarcely have made use of any other language in
the present state of the public mind througbout
his vast dominions. He may be forced into
war, but he is a sincere lover of peace. The
last three Emperors of Russia — whose lives ex-
tend over a century of time— have brought a
sentiment of humanity to bear upon public
aflairs which was unknovm before their time.
They have had certain qualities— ic ne sals quoi
— m their souls, not found in all sovereigns,
either in ancient or modern times.
All three have shown a remarkable amount of
moral force of character, and a grandeur of
soul which has made a profound impression.
All three have nobly sustained the principle of
national and dynastic authority without re-
sorting to. the means employed by many of
their predecessors, who have blackened the
pages of history with their crimes. What sov-
ereign has ever been more magnanimous, more
generous, than Alexander in 1814 and 1815?
His heart opened at once to every pacific
proposition and to every appeal for clemency.
In him there was no vain pride, no stubborn
persistence in wrong, no thought of abusing the
situation won by his victories,, no idea of
profiting by the preponderance over all Europe
that he had gained. Dominating everything
and having everything in his power, that truly
great man showed a modesty without example
among those of his- time, and a tenderness or
nobleness of heart which seemed in disaccord
with his popular fame. He died calml.y, like a
man whose conscience is clear. His brother
Nicholas, a young man of twenty-five, suc-
ceeded him upon the throne. Controlling a
victorious Army — more tiian a million of
mea — he had it in his power to do a great deal
of harm, yet, with the military fame of his
house to sustain him, he too showed that
humanity was one of the prevailing traits of
his character. If he could have had
his way, the Crimean war would not
have taken place, for he had the means
of crushing Turkey long before, when the
struggle between Mahmoud and Mehemet Ali
left the Ottomafa Empire at his mercy. And
what nobler item can bo found in the record of
any living man than the emancipation
of the serfs by Alexander II ? What
nobler use could any man have made of the
despotic power he has wielded since his acces-
sion to the throne 1 I do not think that we
have given the Romanoffs sufficient credit for
the humane and Christian sentiments that have
animated them for a century. They are great
men, and possess a moral force that is rare.
All this leads me to. think that there will be no
war if the Emperor of Russia can possibly
avoid it, though the nation may slip from his
hands at any moment. Personally he would
preler a peaceful solution, but the obstinacy
ot the Turk may make the employment of
force necessary to sustain the honor and pres-
tige of Russia. Even then the Czar would go
into war against his will and with a shudder,
for humanity is the prevailing trait in his char-
acter. Yet everything has the anpearance of
war, for a dispatch says that a Russian army
corps is already en route for the Turkish fron-
tier.
The Assembly is now engaged in discussing
the budget, which ought to have been voted
before the vacation. The Deputies, however,
wanted to prolong their stay at Versailles, and
put off discussing this matter with, the public
appears to think, an evident intention of pro-
longing the session to the end of the year.
When one follows the debates with care, many
curious and interesting facts concerning the
French system of administration can be
learned. After finishing with the estimates of
Due Decazes relating to the diplomatic service,
the Chamber took up the budget of the De-
partment of the Interior. JI. De Marc<5re asked
the Assembly to vote him a credit of 200,000
francs for the employes of the prefectures.
The chapter of the budget in question called
for some six millions of francs, and was for the
pay of Prefects, Sous Prefects, and the per-
sonnel of the prefectures. For the latter a
roimd sum is given in the form otanational sub-
scription. Pour-fifths ot this round sum goes
to pay the persons emjjloyed, and the remain-
ing fifth is kept by the Prefect for contingent
coincidental expenses during the year. Buias
nearly all disbursements are provided for under
the head of frais gcneratix, this money was gen-
erally distributed among the minor employes
by the rich Prefects ot the Empire. It went to
swell the gratification given at the end of each
year in the form of New Year's gifts.
But during the past two years,
under the Republican r<j;;ime, men
have been appointed who have no private for-
tunes, who have found it difficult to live upon
their salaries, and who have triefl to economize
by taking the extras. For this oaa-lifth the
Prefect has to give no account whatever to his
chief, the Minister of the Interior, and may put
the whole sum in his pocket if he sees lii to do
So. Some ot tLrt> poorer Republican Prefects
did so, and the consequence was a general com-
plaint Irom the poor, struggling employes de-
prived of tlie yearly gratiticatioa receiveii from
the open-bunded Prefects of the Ei^pire. When
a man. workm.r; on a salary of !i.SOU per anmim.
has been in the habit of recei^iug au extra
gift ot $"iOO each Christmas, he is not content to
^HKii a new. Prelect put this sum in bis
own pocket. M. de MareCre wished to
remedy this state of things, which was
creating enemi*^ lor the liepubiie, aud so
UHked a (supplementary credit of 200,000 trancs.
When divided among eighty-six different de-
partments this is not mucii, but the Fiuai;co
Committee refused to allow it, on the ground
that the Minister had not reported upon the
distributions ot previous years. The opposi-
tion wanted to briii;; out the names of Jhe Pre-
I lects who had taken the money usually given
to poor clerks. M. de Marei^ro pleaded for
1 Bomo lime, and promiiied to see that every sou
Of thia extra allowance went to the poorer eui-
ploves;, aud to report to the AsaumUlv what use
had been made of the mouey. Upon this tbe
committee withdrew. its objections, and 200,000
trancs -were added to the oue-tiliii ot the national
coutributiou lor the pa.ynient of the minor em-
ployes of the Prefectures.
A very hot del«iie took place a lew minutes
later, upon au item lu The estimates
relVrring to the subiiroan Police. Ic was
a credit of some three hundred tlum.sand iraues
lor the payment of a special I'oiice for the
towns auu villages about the City of Paris.
Tl^-; Republicans grew angry at the idea, say-
ing that this special Police was created tor the
.purpose of controlling tJie elections durin^i; the
Jitnpire. In point of fact, one does not see the
need ot a special Poliwe, or of two categories of
,,^oiice agfinf*. in..rJi« suburban , villages, fur tha
communal Pohce is already working in them.
If anything should arise, requiring
agents of superior intelligence, they
could be easily detailed from the
City force. M. De Marc^re responded to the at-
tacks upon his Police with some rather sharp
language. He denied tdat these men were ene-
mies of the Republic, and said that they were
all good men and true, perfectly loyal, and
devoted to their duly. No one could deny that
we now had perfect tranquillity and pnblio
order everywhere, and the greater portion of
the credit for this was due to this Police. The
Left insisted that the communal Police were
quite enough, and, without aslring to have the
credit suppressed, they desired to put it dpon
the sum allowed to the rural Police. One ora-
tor reiterated his assertion that all these special
agents were reaclionnaires, and, though paid to
sustain the Ilepublic, did all the.y conld to
overtlirow it. This question could not be de-
cided in one sitting, aud was adjourned over to
another.
To-day is the fftte of Saint Eugenia, and is
one of tlie mos*; beautiful days that we have
haa for a long time. It is the beginning of In-
dian Summer, and one can readily imagine
what sort of weather we are now enjoying.
Being the fCte of the Empress Eugenie, the
friends of the family met at Saint Augustine
for receiving mass, and some five or six thou-
sand persons, with violets in their button-holes,
were there assembled.
AMUSEMENTS.
THE LIEDERKR.^NZ CONCERT.
The first concert given by the Liederkranz
Society, this season, took place last evening at their
club-house. The entertainments thna inaugurated
are nanally of coDsiderable inte^-est, and yesterday's
prozrammo promlHed well for the selections to be
interpreted during the Winter. The most im-
portant comDOsition rendered was Hoff-
mann's cantata known as "' The Tale of
the Beautiful Melusine," which was prefaced,
on this occasion, by Mendelssohn's "Melnsme"
overture. The story, told in verse b.y the German
poet Ostcrwald, is that of the earthly love of
Meltisine and Count Raymond, the indiscretion of
tbe latter personage as to the maiden's doings on
the Saturday of each week — an indiscretion He had
sworn, as does Elta m "Lohengrin," never to com-
mit— ending in the mortal's death aacl the eternal
socaritlon of the couple. Hoffmann's music
to this theme has small claims to origi-
nality. It is full of reminiscences of Men-
delssohn and Schumann, and of chromatic
progressions and delicate acoompammeuts such as
abound In the soprano's share of " Lohengrin."
The hunters' cbornses in " Melusine " are among
the few passages wblch can be praised for any-
thing like charaiter, almost every other
number of the work recalling the wrl-
tiags of better known musicians. And yet
the impression of " Melusine " was very grateful.
So much of the mnsic interpreted nowadays is of
what has oeen termed the advanced school, that a
relief from such enjoyment aa can onl.v attend
downright, hard intellectual work is now and then
most welcome. If Hoffmann's cantata is not re-
murkably original, It Is, at all events,
melodious, happily expressive of the gen-
tler emotions, free from trivial measures, and
richly instrnmentated. Besides the hunters'
cbornses, which have vigor as well as charm, the
chomses of Nixes are uncommonly graceful in
form and quite etherial m texture, and there is a
duet iu the first part, between Raymond and Melu-
sine, the impassioned strains of wbicb have a pniity
and warmth seldom met except in Herr
Wagner's achievements. "'Das Miirchen " was
effectively given last night, as to the
solo vocal nnmbers, by Messrs. Sohst and
Kremer, and Misses Henne and Lehmann ; the
choral forces of the Liederkranz did excellent work,
and Mr. Thomafs' orchestra, under the direction of
Mr. Paur, played the accompaniments with pierfect
precision and taste. The second nart of
the concert included niano performances
by Mr. Boscovitz; an air from Berlioz's
"Eomeo and Juliet," which lost most of its im-
pressiyeness by the lack of contrast between its
sweet and soft strains and slight accompaniment,
andtbe highly-colored context of the symphony trom
which it was taken, and the vorspiel to, and wed-
ding chorus from, the third act of " Lohengrin."
GRNERAL MKNTION.
Mrae. Essipofi plays this evening at Steinway
Hall.
Mr. Edwin Booth acts to-night in " The Pool's
Kevenge," at the Lyceum Theatre.
Miss Lotta commences her engagement at
the Park Theatre, this evening, in the new play
called " Musette."
Mr. Morrissey will this evening give the first
of bis three grand combmaiioa concerts at the
Academy of Music.
FOREIGN NOTES.
Figaro "has reason to state" that the works
of the "New Grand" opera-house are for the pres
ent abandoned, and that Mr. Manleson haa hired
Drurv Lane Theatre for the next two opera seas-
ons. The same authority also announces that both
Mr. Mapl'eson and Mr. Carl R lea contemplate opera
performances iu America next year. " There will
probably also be two other European couipanica in
the field. It is not nnlikelv that Mr. Mapleson
may himself leave for America very shortly.''
The theatrical season in Madrid, says the
liouaon Athenceum, la likely Co be brilliant. Many
works of great literary merit are said to be in re-
beai'sal. With reference to Hon Enrique Gjspar's
comedy of "La Nodriza," ("Tha Nurse,") one of
the leading jourutds cf ihe capital, speaking of the
tendeucy to introdace upon the stase doubtful
plots and rather highly-seasoned dialogue, ob-
serves: "Have our dramatic authors no mothers,
wives, or daughters; tnat ttiey convert the theatre
into a school of manners where modest women can-
not sit out a repi-oseutatiou without blushing ?''
Signor Rossi, the Italian tragedian, who is
now pertorming m Florence, played Samlet a
few days ago, before the Prince Imperial, and the
son of Xapoleon 111. was so pleased that he in-
vited the actor to call on him. The Signor did so,
and has written a short letter abtiut his interview,
which is priut«d bv the Bonapartist pap'rs in
Paris. According to Signor Rftsil, the young Prince
i.s a good Shakespearian scholai- ; he ha» studied
"Hiimlet" iu particular, "and," adds the Italian,
"Irom the familiarity with which he spoke of that
personage it would appear as if he looked upon
himself aa a kind of second Prince o! Denmark."
The Dublin musical critics praise very highly
the music aud libretto of aa original throe-acc
, comic opera, entitled " The Box and the Ring."

From Our Oum Correspondent,
EoME, Tuesday, Nov. 14, 1876.
"What is to be the positive issue of the
present mihtary agitation in Europe we do not
know, but our instincts tell us that it cannot
end without a general strife. Turkey is a great
frying-pan of passions and interests, and in-
stead of removing combustible materials, new
fuel is constantly added to tbe fire. It is vain
to talk of peace, or hope for it, as long as the
great open question of half a century has no
solution which satisfies the aspirations of races
and reliecious sects, or is in harmony with the
visible designs of Providence; tor all past ex-
perience shows that it is useless to fight against
fate. Tou have been teld that Italy has fixed
her eye on Tunis, and if there is a general
bre4iking up, that part may go to her if
she plays her rOle well. But we hear
very little about the matter here. The ques-
tion of the future balance of power in the Med-
iterranean is intimately connected with the
fact, yet to be established, what powers are to
occupy the strong points. Whether Italy i8t9
become sufficiently rebust in her niaritime
strength to be trusted with the keeping of the
site of ancient Carthage, depends upon the de-
gree of development she gives to the naval
arm, which also depends upon the amount of
money she is able or willing to lay out upon it.
In a week from this. Parliament is to come to-
gether, and we shall soon see what talent for
the direction of home and foreign affairs it is
capable of exhibiting, composed as it
is, in great part, of new elements. The
supplementary elections of Sunday last have
made little variation in the large m^ority of
about four hundred on the side of the Govern-
ment before ascertained. We are in daily ex-
pectation of seeing gazetted the names of not
less than thirty new Senators. The party in
power has now for the first time opportunity to
honor some of its friends ; packing them away
safely for life in the academic chamber ot the
Parliamentary body, where they can be useful
in helping to steady the councils of the party.
A dozen or two Senators drop away every year,
and a sharp eye has to be kept upon the circle
of national worthies so as to be able to pick out
the best, and keep the Conservative corps full-
There is little danger at present that the Senate
will kick against the will and policyof the low-
er house as it did the past Summer.
The leading local incident of the past week,
as I have alreadyintimated, has been the death
and funeral of Cardinal Antonelli. It is not
expected that the loss of the ancient Secretary
of State of the Pope will make much difference
to the Vatican, or 'change the course of its
political conduct. There is little hope that
more conciliatory counsels will prevail, ot any
change be made in the stand it has taken.
Cardinal Antonelli, now that he has passed
away, is judged with every degree ot charity
or severity by the different organs of Italian
public opinion. Some writers find a pleasure
in parading more, and more conspicuously than
ever, the less felicitous facts . of hie public
career ; dwelling upon bis low origin, and the
ignoble arts with which he won his way to
power and fortune. It can at least with truth
be said that Antonelli has not left a name to
win the admiration of his cotmtrymen, or an
example to be held up for the world's imita-
tion. The fortune he has left is estimated at
25,000,000 francs or Italian lire, and some
have hoped that the dubious fame of its accu-
mulation would be redeemed by generous bene-
factions to public institutions of instruction
aud charity. But it is understeod that the
will of the defunct Cardinal divides the im-
mense estate among three nephews, following
the example of the Popes, so many of whom
have made it their highest ambition to found
families, build great palaces, and gratify world-
ly pride. Bome is full of monuments of
this kind — great houses raised with the
money contributed by the faithful in all the
world to St. Peter's box — symbols of arrogance
and love of material show. The most remarka-
ble, and, it is to be believed, the last example of
this. Papal nepotism, was that of Pius VI., of
the family of Braschi, at the end of the last
century. Whoever has visited Rome has no-
ticed the palace which lifts its vast mole at one
end of the Piazza Navona. It was built by the
Braschi family, at enormous cost, three-quar-
ters of a century back, or at the time the Pope
was feathering the family nest with the wealth
taken without leave asked of any one from the
resources of the Church. But this opiuence of
houses and lands has taken wings, and the
•present representative of the Braschi, ot the
second or third generation from the Pope,
is living in Rome upon a small pension
received from Iriends of his ancestors, or
from the Vatican, i remember that this palace,
■which cost millions, was ottered for sale many
j'ears ago for about one hundred thousand
scudi, or dollars, and was afterward bought by
soma speculators at a price not much higher
than that. When the Itali.an Government
came here it purchased the house for the oliices
of the Minister of tbe Inierior for more than
four millions of francs.
For the rest of Cardinal Antonelli, his funeral
was conducted with the absence of all attempt
to make a display. The body was carried
across Rome in the public hearse, folio wed by a
few carriages containing friends who had held
with the deceased intimate relatioue, whether
in society or affairs. The body was deposited
m the tomb of the family lately built m the
Cemetery of Campo Varano. The day after, a
funeral rite was performed in the Church of
Transpontina, near St. Peter's. The work that
Cardinal Antonelli tried to do, ot hindering
Italian unity, or ot undoing it after it was ac-
complished, will probably leave behind it no
permanently damaging results. Tbe good that
luen do lives alter them, but the evil, at least,
ought to be, and often is, buried with their
boues.
'i Ins change wrought by death in the house-
hold of the Vaticau naturally enough turns
the thoughts of people who are a good deal
occupied with such matters to the change
which must, in the course of nature, come
with the death ot the actual Pope. A lew
years back there were those who kept them-
seives pretty busy predicting from week to
week tbe death ot Pius IX., aud each oue had
his candidate iu nomination for tbe succession.
Most of us were tired out -with these exhibi-
tions of a wisdom more speciuative thtin
founded upon a knowledge ot any ascertained
facts. When the Cardinals, or the members of
the Papal Seuivte, do not know ihemselves,
with any degree of certainty, who may be put
forward' witu, hope of choice, we outsiders
must be coutent to rest in iguoraiice, tor no
one cau bo sure who will be Governor until
after election.
Accounts continue to come to us from Sicily,
as well as from other parts, ot aggreesions com-
mitted by brigands. The woftsc caae lately
reported is that of Mr. Rose, au Englishman,
sou of a bauker, long established at Palermo.
A compan.y, consisting of lour or five members
of the family, took the rail one morning
Irom Palermo to the town of Lercara,
about twenty, miles distant. Arrivetl
at the statiun of Lercara, a dozen or
more of the passengers mounted m the omnibus
which conveys people to the town. The son of
Mr. Rose, a young man of two-and-twent^',
with a servant, instead ot going in the omni-
bus, mounted horses which had been sent down
to ini.'Oi iheiu. When a little way on the road,
in advance of the pUblic conveyance contain-
ing the rest of tbe party, they encountered
lour armed men, two of whom were on horse-
buck, and It did not take long to discover the
business upon which they were beut. Mr.
liose galloped back iu tbe direction ot tbe om-
nibus, pursued by tbe highwaymen, tiring shots
from their piitols or rifles, JNoue iu the omni-
bus dared to offer assistance, menaced as the
party were with death Irom indiscriminate
discbarges of the tiroaruis of tho ban-
ditti. Mr. liose was hurried off to
their lui kmg-place among the mountains ; the
servant being allowed to go free, lo bear his
message to tbe town. The report comes that
tbe sum ot 400,000 francs has been put as pan-'
soiB-moue.v upon; Mr. Kose's head. As soon as
inlormarton of the aggression was received b.y
the authoritieii. the nubile force was put m mo-
tion to Bare, il poojroJie. ts« life of the nnfortn-
nate man, afid get hoid oi ibe brigands. Con-
siderable success has attended the activity
lately exhibited in carrying on the hunt of
these enemies of public secnrity, ftnd numbers
have been captured or brought b.v lucky shots
to the ground. The Government, to its credit
it must be said, is doing what it can to rid tbe
country of this ancient plague , but the work is
slow and difficult, as the South of Italy, like the
Southern States of the American Union, is still
in a semi-civilized condition.

St. Louis. Nov. 26.— A special dispatch to tbe
Olobe- Democrat from Leavenworth, Kansas, saye a
part of the Twenty-third Infautr.y, now in the
Department of tho Platte, will be ordered
to report to Gen. Pope, at Leaven-
worth. One company of the same regiment
is now here, having arrived from Omaha some days
ago. The officers at Port Leavenworth scout the idea
that the Goverrment is concentrating troops at
New-Tork and Washington to meet a possible polit-
ical emergency, and say there has beeu no
unusual movement of troops in that direction
latelj-. The East has now no more troops than it
has had for sevsral years past, and it is not likely
to have even after the close of the Indian
war and the troubles in tha South. The troops
now In the North-west and South will be distriouted
Jn the depariments of Missouri, Platte and Dakota,
and very few »ent east. The Indian troubles which
have threatened peace in southern Colorado and
New-Mexico are about ended, the prompt action of
th9 military having bad a decided effjct, and matters
in Aj.zona have qoieted down, the maiority of the
Indians there having gone np m the reservations
set apart for them by the Government.

TBE POSITIONS OF ENGLAND AND RUSSIA IN
THK CONFERENCE — THB PROPOSED RE-
FORMS AND GUARANTEF.S — SAILING OF
THE RUSSIAN SQUADRON FROM NAPLES.
LoNDOX, Nov. 26. — A Renter dispatch fi-om
"Vienna reports that the Marqnis of Salisbury
declared In conversation there that England would
not appear at the conference as the opponent in
principle of Bussia. It would depend whether
Kussla drew up her demands in a form
to guarantee the rights of tbe Christian-
subjects in Turkey without deitroyinj; the sover
eignty of the Porte. He would not regard it as a
violation of that sovereignty if tbe Porte were to
enter into certain ensat:ements with Europe regard-
ing the Porte's sabjects, and the powers were to co-
operate in the introduction of guaranteed reforms.
Pabis, Nov. 26.— Xe Ttm,ps says England and Rus-
sia are agreed as to tbe character of the guarantees
required, a trifling difference only existing on the
Bubjeoc of tbe occupation of Bnlgiria.
A dispatch to Renter's Telegram Company from
Koiue announces that tbe Bussian squadron has
s&iled from Naples. Its destination is unknown.
LONOON, Nov. 27. — The Standard's dispatch from.
Berlin says while Russia does not interfere with
German interests, Germany feels morally obliged
to support Russia's claims at the coming confer-
ence. Should war be unavoidable, Germany would
not obiact to the invasion of Bulgaria by Russia.
Renter's telegram trom Rai^usa states that the
line of demarkation between the Turkish and Mon-
tenegrin Armies is settled. The zone between the
belligsrents is two kilometres wide.
The Vienna^ correspondent of the Times tele-
graphs that the real difference In the confer-
ence will ba on the question of occupa-
tion. Every proposal tending toward com-
promise or delay on that point will be
approved. Hence it has been proposed that a
European commission be formed to watch this ac-
complishment of the reforms; also that tbe com-
mission have power to move for an armed
occupation. The success of this project depends
on the acceptance by Russia, hopes of irbich are
becoming fainter daily. So the question again
comes to the fareground, what will the powers
do if Russia declines such compromises, insists on
occupation, and carries it into effect? The altitude
of the Porte, according to news from Conatantinopie,
is not reassuring. The Porte still takes up its
position on the ninth orticle of the Treaty of Paris,
which prondes that the powers shall not interfere
In the internal affairs of the Turkish Empire.
A Vienna dispatch to the Daily News says Po-
lish papers report that Russia proposes that Servia
conclude with her a military convention, such ss
existed between Bavaria and the North German
Confederation during the Pranco-German war.
A Berlin dispatch to tbe News reports that the
Riissian War Office is buying great quantities of
sledges for transport service io a Winter campaign.
A St. Petersburg dispatch says: "SuDscriotions
here and at Moscow to the new loan exceed the
amount asked."
The News' Berlin dispatch reports that some sub-
scriptions for the Russian loan have been received
at St. Petersburg from abroad — one for five millions
of roubles from a London house.

his residence. No. 13 East Twelfch street, in
this Ciiy, . decamped, tatiug with him a gold

the property was disposed of in this City, and will
doubtless be recovered.
AN HUMBLE MAM'S STORY.
HOW THE LOUISIANA BULLDOZERS FLOGGEl!)
HIM FOK REFUSING TO VOTE FOB
" DEMOCRACY AND KTSFORM."
The correspondent ot the Chicago Journal,
wntinE trom New-Orleans, gives the nitifnl 8tor.y
of a colored man thiriy years old. It is told in hii
own words as follows :
" My name is Zt'kial Glover ; I live in East Feli-
ciana In dc Eighth Ward, nigh Clinton, on de tele-
graph road leading to Osyka ; 1 was bom and
rained Oar. on Levy Doty'a plantation ; I rent a
bit ot land from VV. M. McAdams and worked in a
saw mill ; 'buut 10 o'clock Sunday nisbt 'fore de
election a roan came to my house ; he was John
Norwood; he tole me he wanted to see me
for no barm, but on very 'tlc'lar business ;
sed he was a fren to me; asked me to step
away a piece from de do,' cause he didn't want no
one to bar what he was gwine to My. I stepped
about twenty feet from de doah, and be began
talkia' to me. While he was talkm' a lot of men
rushed np, with sticks and pistols, and one ot 'em
said, ' your radical soul, we've got you
now ; we'll fix you to-night.' Dey grabbed in*,
and made me eo with 'em about fifty yards into
the timber. I made no 'zistance ; 'twonldo't
have done no good ; dey would have killed me
dead. Dey tie.i my hands together around de
wristi. Dey took me to a beech-.ree. Dr. W. R-
Boberts says, 'Let's bear Zt!ke'a testimony awhile
fore we whi;j bini.' I tole 'em my testimony Wi^e I
didn't know what' dey was ewlne to do with me ;
dat I had always voted de 'Publican ticket; I tole
'em I didn't kuow exactly what ticket I'd vote ti.is
year till the time come. Den John Norwood said :
•We came hero to whip dis nigger, and don'tlet us
question him anv mo.' One of 'em asked
me if I'd rather take 50O lashes or
be hunc, an' I tole 'em I'd rather take
de whippin' dan be hunz. Dey •aid such — '■ —
Radicals as me ruined the country. Dey stripped
me naked. When I come out ^ the house I was
hxin' to go to bed, an' had notbin' on 'cent my shirt
an' drawers. Dey tied me to a beech-tree, cut
beech limbs all rnun', an' live or six whipped me at
a lime. I hollered. Dey whipped me till I couldn't
stau'. Den dey said I was playin' possum, an' dey
laid on aj^in.' I fainted while I was tied to de troe.
I can't tell how lonz dey whipped me; dey
whipped me awhile, den sat down an' rest-
ed, an' whipped ' me agin.' I can't tell how
liius de time waB. When a man is m so much
miisery as dat he links de time pretty Iod^. My
wife tried to follow ine, out dey left Jim McAdaibs,
son of old McAdams, on de road, an' he drove her
back. Old McAilams owns de place 1 live on. Ho
kuew I was gwine to be whipped. He said 'bull-
Oozin' was One of de areai^st things ever invent-ed.
After day got fh rough whippin' dis Doc Roberts
talked to me awhile, and tole me 'twas best for me
not to repoEt it, as I'd see trouble, an' nex' time
dey got mo dey'd put a rope around my
neck. .He told me what dey whipped me
for was because I wonldn't .join de Democratic
club. I'd tole some of the meii dat whipped me a
day or two befo dat I wouldn't join de Democratic
club or vote de Democratic ticket; dat I'd die first.
I knew ail de men dat whipped me. Dey's all my
neighbors; lives close to me. Doc Kobaris tends
sick folks. He lives in the Eiuhth Ward, half's
mile from me. Alexander Dot.v don't do notbin',
but drinks whisky an' loafs roun' de grocery.
William East lives alongside me. He's on dat side
of de tense an' I on this. John Hart lives close
by me. John ^Norwood worked in de
saw mill with roe. William Brown lives
near de saw mill. Jim McAdams is son of
the man what owns de place I live on. Dey
went iiff an' lef me. When I got back home my
back was all blooJv. So was niy shirt. My wife
was skeered mos' to death. I lef hum de same
niizht. I went to Clinton, where the United States
Bojers war, an' I bad to skirmish roun' so de bull-
dozers wouldn't see me until I found LiententDe
Gray. He .showed me to Cap'n Rogers, and Cap'n
Rogers zamined me an' sent for Monahan an'
Wedge, two boss bulldozers, what tole Cap'n Roe-
eia there was no bull dozin' in de parish. Dey showed
'em my back, and Wedge asked me, Wno done
dat, blttck or whit^? I tole 'era white. The Cap'n
ask me if I'd go an' make affidavit, and de Liea-
tenknt say dey would kill me if 1 did. Den de
Cap'n give me a note to de Sergeant, an' 1 stayed
with bim; I camedown de river with Cap'n Rogers'
sogeis. 1 can't go back dar; dey would kdl me.
I will seiid for my wife as soon as she gets de crop
in. I raised au acre an' a half of potatoes, five of
corn, and five of cotton, 'bout ttii-oe and a half bales.
I s'pose my wife '11 try aud save do crop. I dunno
what I'll do now, nor what I'll eo, but I daisn'i go
back dar, dat'g sartin. Ineboei did nothing to the
men that bulldozed me, nor dey to me till dat time.
Ididn't vote atall ; they said if I did thev would
kill me. De cullnd men would have all voted de
Republican ticket if de.y had protection, bat dey^
were skeered of df" boli di-zers. De cuUad men haa
to lay out indcwoodii, afraid of bein' bull-dozed
befo' elecshan day, and dem what voted war forced
to vote with de Delnocraea."
Glover, at our request, took oflF his shirt. His
botly, from his neck lo his knees, was a slckenine;
siKht. His back and sides and thighs were cat and
torn, and white scars on tbe black flesh, orossiog
eacD other here and there, proved with what zeal
the advocates of "Tilden ana Reform" in Lunisiana
sought lo carry the Slate.

THE TIMES AS A NEWS-OATH EREB.
From the Adrian (Mich.) Times, Nov. 22.
The Repub'ican Party of the nation owes a
debt of gratitude to Thb New-Yobk Times. That
paper, by its splendid arranj^ements for the col-
lection of election returns, was enabled to announce
a Kepublican victory when all the other Kepubii-
cflu morning papers of the country were monrnine
over a defeat. This was Wednesday, Nov. 8, and
since then, not only has. nothing . occurred to
weaken the claims of THE Times, but all informa-
tion received has streucthenud and corroborated
it. The Times did .tjlorious work during the cam-
paign, as a champion of Bepnbllcan principles ; we
are none the less proud of it as a news-gatherer,
whosf field extends over a continent and whos« in-
formalion proves to be entirely reliable. All credit
to It. We should like to see its ciroalation quad-
rupled. It deserves to be.

> BBLLETDB HOSPITAL — BRUTAL • TREAT-
MENT THEP^ AND AT BLACKWELL'S
\ ISLAND— A HOKRIBLE OUTRAGE ^ TVUICH
\ SnOULD BE INVESXISATED.
Thti following statement yr&A made last even-
loit by Mw. Eleanor Pletoher Bishop, a/ her resi-
dence, on the northwest comer of Fifth avenue and
Pif MenCU street, In reference to the alleged inoar-
mration ' of a relative of her husband in
Be-'lovae Hospital and the Lanatio-Asvlum on
Blaokwoll's Island, without aey ,iatk oanse : " Mrs
Waitie Annie Crleason, widow of Mr. John T. Glea-
lon. my hnsband's ooosis, was boarding in Forty,
looond street, near Broadway. Aboat six weeks
B«!o she started to eo down to the Public Adminis-
trator's office, and while on the way missed a mag-
jolfloent camel's hair shawl, which she had been
carryinc and which she highly prized on account of
its having; been a gifi from her husband.
iShe is a wo«an of d*llcate nerves, and was in poor
itealtb. She became preatlj excited on missing her
Bhawl and faiaiod away. An officer took bet in
eharge, aad despite her protestations that she could,
(to home if provided with-* earriag?, she was taken
to Bellevue Hospital. On arriving at the hospital,
she wsfl^ thrown into one of the eells on the.lower
Saior, and a doctor, who aaw ' her, was very
rude to her, and soon . left her in the
eiistody of a servant named Maraaret,
who pusOed and struck her on acoonnt of her wUd
temonstrances. This Margaret called two other
women to her aid, and the three women "despoiled
hep of her jewelry, consisting of a diamond chate-
laioe, diamond lootst. diamond earrings, and dia-
Uond pin. ITpon her offering resistance and cry-
ing tor help, they strook her fsarfal blows, stripped
her, and put her iQ a straight jacket, pat
her ott a filthy bed, tied her hands and feet
to the ttedstead, forced her head back, and nearly
choked her by trying to farce some kind of liquid
down her threat, which she spat out. Upon her re-
peated demand that they sboald send her home,
!they said they would do so if she would give them
inoney eneagh. She was kept in this cell several
WMks, and was nearly starved on account of being
.tinahle to eat th« loathsome food offered to her.
!Od her exhibitine a determination to endeavor to
Ijet home at all hazards, they pretended that they
0T«re about to take her there, and sho beoanie quiet,
yt hen they immediately caused her removal to the
it. "alio Asylum on Blaoltwell's Inland. On her
art.ival at the Asylum she was pot into the hall T^ith
itie mad women, and she dropped down on a onalr
j»erf«i fily crushed in spirit, nearly dead witn tear,
and a> most tainting from weakness resulting from
ter div^bolical treatment. Wbile In this position,
among these mnniacs, one ot them draeged her
caair from under her, and struck her, as she tell,
noon the head with it. infliutine a terrible iajurv,
IVom wliich she baa not yut recovered. A.n investi-
ntioa was made by Dr. Parsons, of the
A<sylam, who soon had reason' to believe that some
iceievouj miataku had oeen made in reference to her
c^mUitiuD. aiid she was removed to a room or cell by
heiselt", where she waa attended by two nurses
pptitsd Browu and Mabcn, from whom she received
kiml treatment. On Siaturday, the 18ch insL, I
rr.cclved Word from a friend in Xroy tirnt
m p»ragraph had appeared in a paper
yubiisaed in that city, copied from a
pa»«r iLQ this Cily to the eJleot tiiat Mrs. Gleason
>w*» couilae-' lu the Lunatic Asvlum ; I hurried to
tiM asy^m on that aay and 4aw Dr. Parsons, and
toid him in the strongest t«rms that the incarcei-a-
Uou of Mrs. Gleasou was an outrage, as she
was not losano, and there had never baeo
say insanity in her family, and asked him
iiow it could be that khe was a^J^t' there
■uoder such circomitanoes. 1 asked him
li he thought her mad, and he said " no." I asked
him why they bad received her, and wny sue was
not returned to her friends. He said be waa not
j«f!'pjn»itile ; that those who sent her there from
J.eiiovne were to blame ; ho expressed deep sympa-
■tivj and feeiiiig on accoioit of the sad occur-
rence, and immediatsly acquiesced in the
widk expressed to see iu«. Gleaaon. Be- ■
ti'TV unloekiEiC the doop to go to her
room, be remarked to me that her beau waa bound
up ou account of an tujiuy She Uad received. She
■was seated on a chair when I saw her, her head
kjiiiiag against the wall. I waited slowly and cau-
ti )U3ly up to h»r without speakidg. Her eyes were
ciotied. tears were coursinj; down her cbeeks, and
abe looked tho oertect picture of despair. The
moment she heard my voice she lucked up
q.iioklv, and I folded/ her in mv arms and
Kiasedher. Sua waagreatlysei^aced.aiid exclaimed
caruestly between hersobo: "On, dear Nellie, wiU
yoa take me hornet Have you come to take me
£v>me t I am not mad, but they will make me so,
ill remain here much longer. I eannoc walk, and
my wrists hart me still on account of tbe treatment
*t these barbarians inBellevae HospitaL" She was
almostfrantic with joy at her prospeciive deliverance
and It was some time before she could oaiiu herself
^afficieotlj to relate to mo the story whicb 1 have
Just told yon. Her head, juiklos, and wrists were
b.iund with cloths, and she was apparently suffer-
ing great pain. I told her to cheer up, that her sor-
Taw was over, as I had come tx> take ber home ; she
«bould i£o to my home, and I would care^
lor her until ner recovery. She thanked
me agaip and again, and made me promise that I
wonid tave those nunished wbo liad treated her in
so brutal a mauner. She said she had not known
where to tiud ms, and so tar as she knew no one
else had in cerested th-emselves in her behalf. She
-was too ill to be taken bwaj that ckay, and after see-
lug that she was made as comfortable as possible, I
: Lad her removed last Monday to my house, where she
■now is. Sbe is confined to her bed, and requires tbe
most tonder norsing and the best mediCitl attend-
ance, as ber nervoas systein has received a
very severe shock. Out she does not exhibit tbe
(tligbtest symptons of au oDsound mind, beine per-
iecily rational, though exceedingly weak, and
naaule to bear any exoiteraont ai present. She is a
l>eantiful and accompilihed woman, and was
ff»r many vears a reiuuiDE belie in "WashiDgtou and
tins City. She and I, with our basbands. opened
the bftll which was giyen to celebrate the opening
lit the Prescott Hoaae in this Cijty, and on that oc-
casion sbe wore diamonds worth $200,000. Her
UuHband waa a State Senator in Jdaine, and a weil-
■ kno«Ti broker in this City, and at one time had a
xna^uiEcent country seat at iJavei^swood. She is
now somewhat reduced in circumst.inces, and her
rolativea, who are all extremely wealthy, have paid
little or no attention to her. She has munev in the
Public Administrator's oflnoe, and Mr. Wilder, who
ia connected witb that office, obtained from Belle-
vue Hospital a portion of the jewelry taken from
ber at that place. I have apobed to my coannel,
Mr. Dennis McMaho^, and he has promised to have
\iUi terrible case fally investigated."

f A SENSATIONAL FICTION.
A moraiag jounial yesterday published, uader
the caption " Is it a Mtirder 1" a sensational story
abont the mysterious df^aopearance of Boajamlu
Harrrs, a merichant tailor doing business at !No.

Haras did not disappear at all. He went
- to the St. Nicholas Hotel to meet a cus-

I On Saturday morning a well-dressed lady,

fiently of good social position, arrived at the Ash-
Jand House, at Fourth avenue and Twenty-tourtb
atreet. She registered as " Miss Abigail Hunter,

'IKiringtUe afternoon the lady showud symptoms
ot insanity. She, however, appeared to be aware
of her un fortunate condition, and besged tbe pro-
prietor of tbe hotel to place her in charge of the
Police. Patrolman McGoldricK, sf the Eighteenth
Preeinct, was notified, and. In company with the
Bi uprietor of the hotel, took her in a carriage to

BURNED 10 DEATH.
A DRUNKEN WOMAN DIES FROM THE EFFECTS
OF BURNS.
Between 8 and 9 o'clock yesterday mor-
ning, Mrs. Magdalena Beale, an Italian woman,
living In a tenement-house in the rear of No. 7
Elizabeth street, noticed smoke i^uing from an
our-house in the yard of the front house. She in-
formed her hnsband, Giaffiedo Reale, of the fact.
The man rtpshed down stairs, and, filling
a pail with water from the hydrant
in the yard, hurried to the
oat-house. As he threw open the door he observed
a woman standing over a fire which bad been ap-
parently buUt on the floor of the out-house. The
woman was enveloped in flames from head to foot,
and though she wss screaming with anguish sbe
appeared stunefled and unable to help herself.
Seale dashed the water on the fire and obtaining
assistance from the other tenents in the honse,
succeeded in extin£ui8bing the flames, but
net before the woman's clothing had been reduced
to ashes. The woman was burned in the most hor-
rible manner, and she presented a most sickeDliig
appearance. Patrolman Qulnn, ot the Sixth Pre-
cinct, was nstitied, and wrapping the woman, who
was delirivns with pain, and acreamisg in the most
piteous manner, in an old quilt, removed her on a
stretiher to the station-house. Thence she was
eonveyed to the Chambers Street Hospital, where
her injuries were pronounced fatal. Coroner Eick-
hoff was notified, aud hastened to the
hosnital for the purpose of tnkins her deposition,
hoping that she would give an explanation of the
occurrence, but whea he arrived sbe was found tp
be unable to make a coonocted statement. She
lingered In great agony until 6 o'clock last even-
ing, when sbe expired. An investigation showed
that the deceased was Lizzie Brown, a woman of
about thirty-nine yeirs of age. During Satur-
day she bad been einployed in doing some
house-work from Mrs. Clark, who keeps a bouse of
lU-repute in Elizabeth street. She left work at 8
o'clock in tbe evening, aud obtained permission to
retarn andsleep in the honse. She had been drink-
ing during the day, but was not then intoxicatpd.
She did net return during tbe night, but at about 8
o'clock yesterday morning she eamo to the house
crossly intoxicated, and passing, throush an alley to
the rear of tbe bouse, knocked at the window of
a room in an extension of the premises, which was
occupied by a yonng man named John Giblen. She
aroused this man and demanded her hat, (vhich sbe
tiad left in tbe nouse. He threw her hat out to ber
and she went away. It is snpposed that she then
took refage in tbf' out-hoase, and feeling cold got
a bundle of kindling-wood and started a flro to
warm herself, as some pices of charred kindling-
wood were found on tbe floor, the planks of which
wero partially burned, and in this way set her
clothes on Are. -

to murder Patrick Lorrigan, of No. 164 Third ave-
nue, a bar-tender, formerly in tho employ of
Geoghegan. A feud had for some time existed be-
tween Domovan aad Lorrigan, growing out of a
quarrel over tbe proceeds of a robbery. At about
10 o'clock yesterday morning, while Geoghegan's
plase was filled with a motley assemblage of ruf-
fians, Donovan entered the place and swaggered
up to the bar. Glancing around, ha noticed
Lorrigan sitting at a table. Donovan imme-
diately drew a six-barreled, self-cocking re-
volver fiom his pocket, and, pointing the
weapon at his enemy, remarked, "Tou ,
I'll kill von, " and suiting the action to the word
pulled the tngger. Lorrigan, although taken com-
pletely by surprise, dropped at full length on tbe
floor, and the bullet passing over his prostrate form
lodged in a picture banging on the wall. Patrol-
man Kielly, on duty in the ueighberhooa, heard the
shot and hastened to the place. He found the door
of the den locked. Giving an alarm rap he brought
several officers to his assistance, and the Police
burst open the door and entered. As they made
their wa.y into the place Donovan fired a second shot
at Lorrigan, but this also missod its mark and
longed in the counter. Douovan was dis-
armed and secured, and all the per-
sons In the den were placed under
arrest. Information was sent totbeEldridge Street
Police Station, and a section of Poiioe were dii-
patcbed to the saloon to coD'^ey the prisoners to
the Station-house. Tbe prisoners numbered fifteen,
ineludiog Geoghegan, tbe proprietor. Douovan. the
Would-be murderer, Lorrigan, and Barney Cannon,
the bar-tender. The esrablishmeut, which is one uf
the worst of its kind in the City, waa closed, aiid
the prisoners were accommodated with cells at the
Police Station. They will be arraigned at the Essex
Market Police Court to-daj*. Lortigan will make a
complaint against Donovaii, charging him with au
assault with intent to kill.
Tiro BOSTON GIRLS ON A JOVRNEY.
On the arrival of the " owl train" from
Boston, at the Grand Central Depot, at 5:30
o'clock yesterday morning, two yonng ladies, unin-
cumbered with baggage, left the cars, and, accosting
a faackman named Gorman, asked him to drire
them to a good hotel. The yonng ladies were
handsomely attired, and about fifteen or
sixteen years of age. Tbe hackman droye them to the
Grand liotel, at Tnirty-first street and Broadway,
waero they endeavored to engage a room, but, as
they wfere not known, were relused admission.
Wbile at the hotel a young man, who noticed ibe
dilemma of the strangera, volunteered to escort
tbem to a hotel, but the tiaukmau, believing tbat the
young man's iutentions were disnonorabie,
relused to allow him to enter tiie coacb. Gorman
then drove the girls to the Putnam House
in Fourth avenue, between Twenty-eixth aud
Twenty-seventh streets, where they wt?ro aceommo-
datsd with a room, for which they paid $1. They
registered themselves as "Miss Clark aud sister
Boston." Gorman, tbinking that tho actions ot tbe
girls were rather strange, reported the f.ic s to Sergt.
Ferris, in couimaud at tbe Grand Central Depot.
Sergt. Ferris telegraphed to Inspector Dilks lor in-
structions, and the Inspector directed hiiu to bring
the giris to Police DeaU-quarters UQleaa they could
give a salisl'actory acconutof themselves. Ou going
to the hotel it was f juud that the girls had only re-
mained there loag euougb. to obtain breakUst.
When they left they wont tbroush Twenty-bixLh
street toward Broadway. It is believed that they
have run away trom home at,d the Poiioe are eu-
deavoring to trace tbein.

EDUCATION AND BELIGION.
LECTURE BY VICAR GENBRA.L THOMAS 8.
PRESTON AT COOPER 1N8T1TU1E
Very Eev. Thomas S. Preston, Vioar Gen-
eral and Chancellor of the Archdiocese of New-
Tork, delivered a lecture entitled "Education and
Beligion, " in the presence of a large audience, at
Cooper Institute last evening, under the auspices of
the Young Men's Catholic Local Union of this City,
Among tbe gentlemen on the platform were Bishop
Corrigan, of Newark, and Very Eev. Father Doane,
of the same city; and Rev. Father John J. Kano,
and Messrs. William O'Brien, James Lynch, and
John O'Brien, ot New-York. The lecturer was'in-
trodnced by Father Sane, who took occasion to
speak of the literary and religions Koman Catholio
societies of this City, of which he said there were
now seventeen. He briefly referred to the •biects
for which these associations bad been organized,
and congratulated them upon the union they had
formed.
In beginning bi^addrcss, Mr. Preston also con-
gratulated the members of the Catholic societies
upon having banded together, and said that their
marked characteristics were humility and charity,
and expressed his sincere wishes lor their
success, permanence, and progress. Beaoh-
ne tbe subject of his lecture, he said
that religion and education necessarily
went hand in hand, and ought not to be separated.
An attempt was now being made in this country
not for the first time, to divorce them, and if th<
attempt shonU be successful a moral disaster wonld
be the result. Such a separation would not only be
destructive to all trae scence, but would be disas-
trous to the people and the nation as well.
By religion was understood tho exercise of those
virtues by which man served and adored GoiJ — it
was the exerciie of the highest, dearcbt, and no-
blest faculties of the human soul. ^ Beligion also
mciint faith, for without faith no such thing as the
intelligent exercise of piety could be arriyed at.
The property of education was to draw out or de-
velop the natural faculties of man, and these, given
by God, should be developed according to the na-
ture of man, and In the manner best fitted to each.
What were tbe teachings of reason in regard to
this? What could that koowledge be worth
to man tbat aimply ^eaeemed his body?
How could his moral fAca^^es be fed witboat re-
ligion? without God? Whefioe came this desire to
divorce education from rd^igion) It was either
from the fact that religion , was considered unim-
porrant, or else thattb«re v^adonbtin legard to
the faith. The first hypotlesia was irrational;
the lool said to bimsetf vhat there was no
God. The second waa as"' Irrational as the
tirst. How could there': be a doubt
In regard to the revelations of ^budf What, there-
fore, would be the condition of aoommnniiy split
up and willing to compromise on? religion ? They
would not compromise on wealtb,lnor on honor, but
were willing to do so on the welfafo of aoals 1 The
lecturer then referred to the ta^ that in alt ages,
up t6 the present time, religion n^a eflncatiou had
been united, and said that the '"Catholic Church
had always been consistent, and had pursued
the same course. He also read a number of extracts
from the works ot various eminent Protestant and
Catholic writers sustaining the position he took in
regard to the matter, saving tbat it might be sup-
fosed that he was biased, as ic truth he wss.
n speaking of the Catholic position in this
country at the present day he said that
they had been misunderstood, and surely
mtentioBall.y nilsunderstood. They only desired
to practice their religion, and he defied any man to
call into question theii love for their country. That
had been shown more yian once in the face of bsi-
tles and of death. A calumny often repeated was
that the Catholics were opposed to puolio schools
for those that wanted them. They did not
approve them for themselves, as they wanted
to teach their own religion. The maiiority
said that if they did not like to send their children
to the poblio schools they could keep them at
home. Was this in accordance with justice}
There were only two solutions to the question-
either exempt from taxation those who did
not desire to send their children to the
public schools, or else give to piivpte
schools their proportion of the tax generally raised,
^l had been asked why religion could uoi be taught
in Sunday-schools % It conld not be done. Of what
avail would it be to teaeb religion one boar out of
thirty? No denominatton had ever tried it but bad
proved it a failure. It was necessary to teach reli-
liioU day by day in order to influence the hearts
and feelings of the pupils.
In Boncluding, the lecturer spoke of the proposed
amendment to the Constitution, in which he said it
was proposed to take trom all institutions under con-
trol of religious bodies all support of the State,
This, he said, would set a premium on infidelity.

POUGHKEEPSIE — INTEKSE SUFFERING
OF THE UNFORTUNATE YOUNG LADY.
Special DUpateh io the New-York Timet.
PotroHKEEPSiB, Nov. 26.— Profound eorrow
prevails in Poughkeepsie society over the terrible
death of Miss Sarah D. Van Wagener, neice of
■William A. Davles, President of the Farmers' and
Manufacturers' Bank. At 5-30 yesterday afternoon.
Miss Van Wagener went to her roomi and had been
absent but a short time when her aunt heard pierc-
ing shrieEs coming from tbe apartment. Huirying
to the room with a visitor who was making a call,
she found Miss Van Wagener enveloped in a sheet
of fiame. As quickly as possible they wrapped
woolen blankets about her andextingnished the fire.
When physicians w6re summoned and her clothing
removed, she was found to be terribly burned from
Ii£r feet to her chin. In same places the flesh
seemed to be cooked. Anodynes were administered
and she was covered with cotton saturated with
glycerine, lime-water, and linseed oil. At 3 o'clock
this morning her relatives arrived from New-York,
when she was still conscions, but was continually
asking for something to put her to sleep. She
suffered the most intense agony, and lingered
until 10 o'clock this morning, when she
died. Statements are conflicting as to the
origin of the fire. One is that she was partially
undressed and was burntng some letters
over tbe gas-light, when a baming fifigment which
fell upon the floor ignited her clothing. Another is
that as soon as sbe bad lighted tbe gas she threw
the still homing match upsn the fioor and then sat
dpwn on a chair to read; that her dress oauEht
from the match, the fire stealing on her unawares.
When asked as to the cause, she renlied that she
caught fire trom the gas. About two years aeo her
brother was sher. She was an orphan, eightesa
years of age, and a beautiful and accomplished girl.

The San Francisco Alia of the 17th inst. says :
"The election of Bomualdo Pacheco to Congress
should be very gratltying to himself as well as to
the Eepublican Party. He has run aboat 1,400 ahead
of his ticket, and he is probably the only Kepubii-
can who could have been elected. Psrhaps wo
should say that he ran 1,600 ahead of hi* tiake', for
he lost not less than 200 votes in Monterey, San
Benito, Santa Cruz and Los Angeles, under the in-
fluence of relatives of Vasquez, the bandit, whom
Pacheco lefnsed to save from the gallows. His ma-
jority in the district was yesterda.y figured up to he

Aave been released from the county jail and
• transferzed to the custody ol the United
States Milrahal. Application was yester-
day made by their counsel to Judge
Bond, iu the United States Circuit
Court, for writs of lidbeaa corpus in their
behalf. The Sheriff, through counsel, de-
murred to the jurisdiction of the court,
and time was given to prepare
argument. Wednesday morning was
the time fixed upon, and the Demo-
cratio lawyers telegraphed a request to
Chief Justice Waite that he be present at
the hearing of the case, to which he replied
that he could not Pending the hearing, the
prisoners were turned over to the Marshal.
A protest has been drawn up and sent to
the President, by Wade Hampton and
a number of other Democrats, against
the Federal troops being placed under
command of Gov. Chamberlain at the
organization of the L^gi8lature to-
day. There is little that is new
to report firom Louisiana. The returns from
a number of the contested parishes were
opened by the Baturning Board yesterday,
and laid over. Testimony in contested
cases will be taken by Commissioners, the
i>oard being determined to close its labors
this week. In Florida, the Board of Can-
vassers began work yesterday, all the re-
turns being in except those of one county.
The board adopted rules for its guidance,
and resolved to admit a number of gentle-
men of both political parties to its ses-

by law be made, will comfortably accom-

judicial functions in the matter of Presi-

Taixahassbe, Fla., Nov. 27.— All the re-
coms being now in, except tkose from Dade
County, the Canvassing Board met at noon
toKlay, and after organizmi; and adopting
rules, adjourned till to-morrow. Before or-
(samzing. a protest siened by Mr. Pearce,
one of the Bepublican Electors, m
behalf of bimself and assooiates, was siibmitted,
against Attorney Greneral Cocke, Democrat, act-
ing as a canvasser, on the eround that in a dis-
patch sent Nortn he had prejudged the result of
the returns on which he is to pass judgment.
It suggested that some other man be appointed
canvasser in liia place. Mr. Cocke read the
protest, and said that the dispatch aJladed to
was sent to a private indiyidoal, and not
designed for pubheation. The board decided it
biexpedient to take action on the protest,
loannf; it to Cooke's sense of propriety whether
be should continue to act or not. A resolution
was tiien adopted to admit as spectators, to
nritness the canva68,five persons £i:om each par^
represented here from the North, the parties
(o select their own men. and that dix tickets
irf admission be given to eaeh of the Chairmen
sf the Republican and Democratic Committees
■A' this State, to be issued by them to such per-
lODS as they choose. The Secretary of State's
office, in which the law reqiures the canvass to
be made, is small, and will not acommodate
more than the number thus provided for. B$-
pmrters must get their tickets from the Chair-
men of committees.
As Democratic papers North are in the habit
of heapmg indiscrimiiiate abuse upon Southern
Beiurninic Boards, it may he important to,
know aoinethini! about the Florida Board. All
of Its members are Southern men, Mr. MoLin
having been born in Tennessee, Mr. Cow-
gill m Delaware, and Mr. Cocke in
Havana. Mr. McLin and Mr. Cowgiil have al-
ways Dorue the higiieat character fur integritv
and honor here and elsewhere, and not a
word can be said agamat them by any
party iu any relation of life. They
r^l>i-eeent the liepubhcans on the board. As to
CooKe, this much is beyond dispute: He was
appointed to his present position as Actorney
General by the late Gov. Hart out of sym-
pathy, he being in reduced cii-cumstances, and
,irolfc8fling to oe a Republican. Very soon alter
his appoincment, ^is conduct was such that
Gov. Hart was compelled to request his resig-
aation. Couke intimated that he would com-
ply, it the vequest was put in writinff. It was
put in writing, and Cocke then asked that the
Gureruor should give his reasons. These were
pv«?n in luiJ, and Cocke closed the
Boriospondeuce by refusing to resign.
Iu Gov. tlart'cj .Message to the Legislature, Jan.
^, ls7f, he quotes the entire correspond-
ence, and closes hts cummoncs on Cooke's
recusal to rosigu, as loUows :
°' It may be eeen that the cabinet of administra.
tiVD olBoei '. who the ConacitutioQ provides shall
aid the Governor, it required by this ri fasil to en.
dure tlie prcsenct* m it of an Attorney General la
wboto aoiluiea as a lawyer aud dilijieDca in at-
toadini; to bia iiupoiunc duties lu the Courts the
Gureniur bus lost all coofldence."
After Gov. Hart's death, and when Lieut. Gov.
Stearns succeedad to bis office, aU the other
members of tho Cabinet had aenso of delicacy
enough to tender their resignations; but Cocke
huug on, aud atill continues to cling to his of-
' it. althoiiaU he aad the Governor have not
indioato the kind of man who represents tho
Democrats in the Canvassing Board, aad on
whom they are relying to aid them in stealing
the State for Tilden.
Judge White, who was brought here from a
distant county by tho Dfimoorata, to issue a
mandamus against the board and an iniunotion
against the Governor, went home on Satur-
day and will not be back till to-morrow. The
Whole proceeding before him was a ridiculoaa
farce, and it is said that White was convinced
by Gen. Barlow's argument that he had no
jurisdiction, and even if be had that there was
DO oooasioh for any order from him, because
when he returns the board will already
be doing what the mandamus sought to
compel them to do, and the Governor neyer
bad the slightest idea' of doing what the in-
junetion sought to prohibit him from
doing. It will not probably be necessary
for the hoard to exerciae any of
its judicial functions on the returns
for Electors, as these returns will undoubt-
edly give Hayes a majority, though perhaps a
small one, on their face. As to the Governor,
the Republicans here have ample proof that
upward of five thou8£^nd fraudulent '^votes
were cast by Democrats, independ-
ent of false counting and intimidation.
Orders have been sent from the Democratic
Committee, and are strictly carried out. to pre-
vent any one from investigating the records of
the election, or getting at the frauds in the
strong Democratic counties. No Republican,
unless armed with a Democratic passport, can
travel Manatee, Sumter, Polk, and several
other southern counties, except at the risk of
his life.

Tallahassee,Nov.27. — Some of the Tilden

ulate the Board of Canvassers will go home
with fleas in their ears, and they may be obliged
to hasten their journey homeward to avoid
arrest. They have discovered that the " cor-

thought they were. They find Republican of-

ERAL COCKB ACTING AS A MEMBER OF
THE BOARD — COMMITTEES OF BOTH
PARTI HIS TO WITNESS THE COUNT OF
THE VOTK.
Ditpatch to the Auodated Preu.
Tallahassee, Nov. ?7. — The Canvassing
Board met to-day at 12 o'clock in the office of the
Secretary of State. Mr. M3Lin in tbe chair. A pro-
test was filed by the Bepublican Electors against
Attorney Geneial Cocke sitting as a meouer of the
board, on the gronnd that he had virtually decided
and given a decision prior to the assembling of the
board, m that he had telegranbed that " tbe Demo-
orats had carried certaialy tbe State, and that the
Bepablicana coold not cheat them out of it."
Mr. Cooke stated that he had sent the dispatch
to a friend in Baltimore, wno had asksd his opinion,
and who furnished it to the newspapers. He re
apeotfnlly submitted that the dispatch and the.
opinion therein contained did not disqualify him
from sitting as a member of the board.
Ibe protest was entered and the board proceeded
with the regular bpsiness.
Mr. CowgiU moved that Gov. Steams, and Gen.
Brannon, commanding the troops at this point, be
admitted to the sessions of the board.
Mr. Cocke moved to amend by adding the name of
Mr. G. F. Drew.
The amendment was accepted.
The board then went into private session and
adopted rnlea for its government.
It was agreed to admit six gentlemen from abroad
and six local politiciana of each party to the sea*
■ions of the board.
Adjonroed until to-morrow at 10 o'clock.
KULES ADOPTED BY THE BOAED.
The following are the rules adopted by the Board
of Canvassers for its government:
Tbe Canvaasini; Board will commence its daties
on the 28th day of November, inst., at 10 o'clock,
and will meet daily thereafter at the same hour,
unless a different boor be fixed, except on Sundays
and holidays, and will remain so long in session
each day as the necessities of tbe case may require,
in order to faciliate the canvass within the briof
period which remains for that purpose. Tbe fol-
lowing rules of procedure are adopted and are
hereby promulgated :
First— Tbe ofQce of the Secretarv of State, where
by law Che board is directed to meet, beiD£ small, a
limited number of persons only, not exoeediug six
in number, equally representing each political
party, will be admitted to witoess the proceedings,
except when tbe board may tbink it necessary or
desirable to cUse the doors for deliberaiion.
Second — The .Secretary of State shall open tbe
returns from each county, whereupon the board
will proceed to examine the same, and determine
from the face thereof, subject to final review,
whether tbe legal formalities and reqairemencs
with respect thereto have been compUod with ; and,
en ati affirmative determination of such preliminary
matters, the Chairman shall announce tbe vote of
the county.
2'hird — On the announcement of the vote of any
conniy any person may give notice that said re-
turns and election, or the vote of said county or
any precinct thereof, will be conteated, and the

nouncement, as aforesaid, of the result as it appears
on tbe face of the returns, must file witn the board
brief statements in writing giving speciflcally tne
obieotions proposed to be made, with parciculars of
time, place and oiroamstanoes, together with a
statement of the relief demanded.
Fifth — In view of the fact that the board has no
power to compel attendance or examination of
witnesses, it will recelye in evidence proper
affidavits, and also such official certificates
as are ' made evidence by law and may
be otherwise admissible. If either party
desires to pft)duce viva voce testimony they must
submit to tbe board a brief statement in writing of
names and residences of witnesses, and facts ex-
peciea to be proved by them, and the board in their
discretion will allow them to attend, and will them-
selves examine tbem, the extent of which will be
necaasarily dependent on the time at the disposal
of tbe board.
Sixth — The affidavits and documentary proofs on
each side shall bo filed with the board iu tbe otfice
of tbe Secretary of State, and shall be accessible to
the other side under such regalations as the Secre-
tary of State shall think proner for tho safe keep-
ing thereof.
Seventh — All motions and arguments shall be in
writing and signed. No oral arguments will be
allowed.
Eighth — The concurrence ot a malority of the
board being necessary to determine'its action, such
coacurreooa with resoect to any oropoBitioa or

motion duly made and seconded, or informally by
the assent uf at least two members.
AiTitft— The board reserves to itself the right to
make and aonbuace such modiSoatlon or addition
to these rules as the case may require. Parties in
preferriug charges and in presenting their proofs
mast be csompletad and tbe result: reaobed in time
for the elector! to discharge their duty under the
law.

5 CASES TO BE TAKEN BY COMMISSION-

By Telegraph from Our Special Oorrespmident.
New-Orleans, Nov, 27.— The partisan
press of the country is filled from day to
day with statements to the effect that the
sessions of the Louisiana Returning Board
are strictly private ; that the investiga-
tion is a Star-chamber one, and that the
public of New-Orleans has no opportunity of
knowing what takes place during the
meetings. All stories of the kind are ab-
solutely false. From the first, all the
sessions of the board have been attended by
five representative Democrats and five Repub-
licans, from the North, and every word that is
Uttered is taken down by ofBcial short-hand
writers, and published here each morning. The
proceedings, now that tbe contested parishes
have been taken up, are free to the Democratic
counsel.
To-day the board opened the returns
from fifteen parishes, and decided to allow
Commissioners to take testimony. They are
determined to conclude their labors this week.

WORK OF THE RETURNING BOARD.
Ditpateh to the AMBoeiated Preu.
New-Orleans, Nov. 27. — The Returning
Board met at 11 o'clock A.M. All the members were
present, and a large crowd in the lobby. The visit-
ing Republioan Committee. Messrs. Stonghton, Tan
Alen, Kelley, Paricer, and Hale, and of the Demo,
cratic Yisitiug Committee, Messrs. Palmer, Smith,
Trnmbull, and Julian, were in their seats.
Daring tbe proceedings, after calling the board
to order, President Wells stated that the hoard
would declme to hear read any motions or protests
whatever.
Democratic counsel objected to an entry on the
minurea to the effact that Bole 8 of tbe board
bad been modified so tar as to allow the admission
as rebutting evidence of ex parte affidavits in con.
tested cases.
Col. Zaoharie filed a protest agalnt the sndden
modifioation of the rule, on the ground that a
change had been made after application of counsel
for a modidcation had been refused, and that thus
the Democratic Committee bad lost the opportu-
nity of preparing rebutting affidavits, whereas, this
privilege had been accorded to the Kepubllcane.
The protest was not read or acted upon, bat re-
ceived and laid aside.
Mr. McGloin, counsel for the Democratio candi*
dates, filed a request that tbe ballot-boxes of East
Baton Rouge be sent fdr in order that the tally
sheets and statements of the votes sealed up in four
of the boxes could be obtained and the vote counted.
The docaments were sealed up in boxes through
ienorance of the law on tno part of the Com-
missioner of Election. The Secretary of the
Board was instructed on Saturday to telegraph
lor tbe boxes, but failed to do so on the plea of
want of funds. Sufficient money to pay all ex.
pensea was deposited wiih the Secretary by tbe
Democratic counsel, and the necessary message
was sent. There were Democratic mtgorities at
tbe polls were the above mistake was made, and
unless the tally sheets are procured the vote will
be thrown out. The board thereafter went into
executive session, and the room was cleared of all
persons except members and committees.
In executive session tbe board examined returns
from the following parishes and. wards, viz.: Bien-
ville, "Weiit Baton Rouge, Bossier, Caldwell, Car-
roll, Claiborne, Jefferson, Morehouse, Eapides, Bed
Biver, St. Landry, Webster, Winn, and the First,
Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth,
Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fifteenth, and
Seventeenth Wards of the Parish of Orleans. These
returns were examined and laid over for future ac-
tion, there being protests and contests In each case.
In the Seventh Ward of Orleans Parish, the Su-.
pervisors threw out the vote of one of the polls
where there was a majority of 173 for the Tildtn
Electors, on the ground that the vote had not been
counted and leturned within twenty-four hours
after the. close of the election.
The Board then adjourned until 10 o'clock A. M.,
to-morrow.

Columbia, S. C, Nov. 27. — The contempt
proceedings against Hon. D. T. Corbin, counsel
for the board, were argued in the Supreme
Court to-dav upon hia return to the mle.
Judge Denny, of Indiana, and Judge Settle, of
North Carolina, appeared aa his counsel. The
court allowed the Democrats to amend the
pleadings against Mr. Corbin, and adjourned
until to-morrow.
In the United States Circuit Court Judge
Bond granted a writ of habeas corpus directing
•the Sheriff to produce the persons of the five
members of the Board of State Canvassers be-
fore him who were put in jail on Saturday
by the Supreme Court. Counsel for the Sheriff
asked until to-morrow to make a formal
return, but upon the Judge saying that
in the meantime the prisoners would
be in the custody of the Marshal,
the application for time was withdrawn,
and a demurrer of the jurisdiction of the court
was argued. Upon motion of Judges Settle and
Denny, counsel for the prisoners, who were not
ready to argue this point, Wednesday at 10 A. M.
was fixed for a hearing, and the prisoners were
committed to the charge of the Marshal until
that time. They are now at iarge on parole to
apnear.
Proceedings for contempt were commenced
in the Supreme Court to-day against James G.
Thompson, editor of the Union Herald, tor

mittmg the Board of Canvassers to prison.
There is intense excitement in the city in
regard to tbe organization of the House to-

possession of the chamber to night, but finally
abandoned it, upon information that a guard
of Tjnited States troops would be put in charge
of the building to-night.

To the Pretident of the United States :
We. the undersigned, visitors from a distance,
and a committee of the Democratio members-elect
of the South Oarnlina LeelslatUre, the Democratic
Eieouiive Committee, and citizens, having just
seen, by Associated Press dispatch, that Gov. Chara-
berlalu has applied for United States troops to be
placed under bis orders at the assembling of the
Legislature to-morrow, send this, our solemn pro-
test, aeainst tbe troops being placed under the
command of Gov. Chamberlain. We have no ob-
jection to the presence of troops, and will co-
operate with them in preserving tbe peace, but we
protest against the use of the United States Army
in controlling the organization of tbe Legislature
and enforcing tbe inaagnration of Gov.
Chamberlain, who has been defeated by the
white and colored voters at the ballot-box.
There is not tbe remotest danger of disturbance of
the peace by Democrats ; if it occurs it will bo at
the Instigation of Gov. Chamberlain, whose parti-
sans have taken tbe only lives lost in th^ late ex-
citing canvass in this State. Not one drop of blood
has been shed in any political disturbance except
by Bepublicans.
It Is llteially true that the Democrats received
their greatest minorities in the counties where the
United States treops were stationed. What pre-
tense, therefore, is there for Gov. Chamberlain's
demand for troops to keep the peace f
We refer for confirmation of these atatements to
the commander of tbe United States forces at this

£Vom an Occasional Correspondent.
CoLlfMBLA, S. C, Thursday, Nov. 23, 1876.
Events multiply. Yesterday the Board of
State Canvassers, without the fear of the Demo-
cratic Party before their eyes, actually did go to
work and discharge the daties imposed upon tbem
by tbe Constitution and the laws of tbe State.
Even tho " bar'l of money," of which we have
heard so much, did not deter that body from dis-
charging its sworn duty. If there is any other legal
body acting under the influence of said " bar'l of
money," tnis deponent does not know it of his own
knowledge; yet Strang^ things are taking place, not
in Gotham, bat right liere in the land of the chiv-
alry. I
The Suoreme Court of tbe State, composed of one
scallawag, one carpetfbagger, (the worst in the
deck,) and one nigger, b^ been sitting on this egg
ever since the 11th inst., and all that has been-
hatched out yet is the fact that this Snpremd
Court is supreme even over the Constitution, for it
has assumed to exercise not only Judicial but legis-
lative and executive powers, both of the latter baiug
forbidden by the Constitution of the State, ana that
of the United States. The black man on the
Supreme Bench, however, seems to have at least a
" level head," and, during all this controversy,
appears not to have lout his equilibrium. While it
is true be has no brother exercising broker's func-
tions on Wall street, dealing in tbe bogus bonds
of a "prostrate State," nor has ne a son
whose official exiatence/depended npon tbe stand
taken by the present candidate tor Governor on the
Bepublican ticket, yet he ban at least a repatatiou
for which he seems to have some regard, and rather
than attempt to make law, he simply seems so desire
to pass judicially upoa law. Tne Supreme Court
has decided that the Board uf State Canvassers can
only declare who is electea from the " face of the
returns,'' it matters not if some poll clerk counted
in John Brown where the votes showed that John
Smith had the majority. Because the "face of the
retams" showed John Brown to have the
majority, the Supreme Court tells the
board to issue the certificate to said Brown
and then let the said Smith make his contest before
the Legislature, a body made violently partisan by
this very act of the Sajreme Court, and not by the
votes of the people. There are not three men in the
State who know better that this whole election has
been a fraud on tbe part of the Democrats, than the
three men who comprise the Supreme Court of this
State. They know that the Bepublicans have only
polled their voting strength, as shown by the
census, both National and State, while the Demo-
crats have polled upward of 20,000 votes more than
Ibe are entitled to by any. census. Hundreds and
thousands of Gaorgians voted in this State un-
challenged, as the testimony shows, and yet the
supreme judicial body of a great state undertakes to
say to the country that no fraud has been oom-
mitted here upon the elective franchise.
What may result from this act of the Board of
State Canvassers cannot now be predicted, but
their action has touched a chord ih the popular
heart which vibrates to its fullest tension to-day.
The E Icefield rouehs, accompanied by their Georgia
felloTra, may attempt a coup d'fi.at on inaucur."it;ou
dav, to place Wade Hampton iu the executire chair
ot State. If thfy do, no one can tell wbat may fol-
low. The negriios, usually quiet and submissive,
are now fully aroused, and ihintiug men tremble
when thty contemplate the consequences of ranh
action onfthe part of the unreconstrucied Democracy.
The colored men of tnis l?tate have borae mncn,
but thoir torboarauce baa been taxed to its very up-
most. They stood all manner of persecution during
the terrible Kuklux times, but they wiU U' rcr
quietly submit to any more. To-day the fun^ale
portion of the colored community in its moat dausw. .
uuj element. Prayei -meetings are constant, and tiieir
orisons are that the kuler ot the Uiiiverst) will not
permit his children to be trampled upon beyond ou-
durance. ,
Tho Democracy are also up to all their old tneljs.
It is not an unusual thiug tor a leadin.ij man lo re-
ceive a "blootij' shirt," or a cotfiu by exl)re^8. Au
occasional package, containing a bloody cartridKt.
is thrown into his yard, .o remind him of tbe un-
certainty of human events, and not a tew are pub-
licly insulted upon the streets whenever they make
tbelr aopearance, and this, too, in this Centeuitiiil
Year of American independence, the year of "gusu
and enthusiasm."
The people of the North have not understood, and
cannot fully understand the sitnation of tbings
here. While it is true that leading newspapers
have had their correspondents here, men who nave,
perhaps, believed they were writinc the truth, vet
the truth has never been half told, and the half wiil
never bo known until the history of this great coun-
try shall be rolled up as a sorull, to be handed down to
future generations long after the actors of to-day
have passed from the stage. Your own oorrespondenia
are waited upon, and nursed aa only the "chivalry "
know how to do it, but thus far it has been done
wiihout avail to (hem, Ua&r men bavo been "can*
tured," but Thk Tnnts men don't capture easily.
One of the strangest things that has yet taken
place was tbe appearance <if one Senator John B.
Gordon of Georgia before the Board of S'ate Can-
vassers. The Senator may have thought he waa
before a Georgia Democratic hoard when he filed
his protest but he was simply mistaken, and be-
cause the Board Of State Canvassers did not listen
to the worthy protest of tho august Senator, he be-
came gloriously Indignant, and yesterday he
could have been seen apon the streets of
Columbia, in company with a certain bant
President, who dealt largely in State bonds
after tbe Tax-pavers' Convention adjourned,
in 1S71, zealously discussing the situation. The
said bank President did not realize very largely
from his investments, although be bad not a few of
the chi rally behind him. Oriirinally he eamo from
the North, a peddler of winnowins machines. Now
he is a Democratic bank President, and, as of old
in slaverv times, one of tbe most violoDt of them
all. '• Yankee slave-drivefs were a hundred per
ent. worse ihan natives. (See Vncle Tom's Cabin.)
Suchare the men who are most violent, and these
are tbe men who mislead the people here as to the
real sentiment of the Nor^h. A few days more and
the country will know the worst.
VIEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
DEMOCRATIC EPFORTS TO MISREPRESENT
THE POSITION OE THE GOVERNMENT-
CHARACTERISTIC KNAVERY — SENATOR
MORTON ON THE SITUATION.
Special Dispatch lo the Jffew- York Times.
Washington, Nov. 27.— The attempt is
now making to falsify the action of the Gov-
ernment with respect to affairs in South Caro-
lina. The charge is to the effect that the Ad-
ministration intends to make Chamberlain
Governor, and sustain him in tbe position
against Hampton, whom the Demo-
crats insist received the election. This
is the burden of the complaint and
the protest. Nothing could possibly
misrepresent the position of the Government
more completely. The troops are not intended
to interfere in the slightest degree with the
free operation of any of the laws of the
State. The Deihocrats can assemble , their
Legislature if they desire, and inau-
gurate Hampton. They may do absolutely
anything they wish or are able, ex-
cept to disturb the peace and use force and vio-
lence to accomplish their ends. The troops are
at Columbia that the law may take its course
peacefully, and that is all. Gov. Chamberlam
IS now Governor of the State. There is none to
dispute that. He telegraphed last night that
there were evidences of a purpose to take vio-
lent possession or the Capitol to-morrow, and
to inaugurate Hampton by force without regard
to the forms of the law. This would cause
bloodshed. There were gathering about
Columbia the armed rifle clubs to
the number of 5,000, it was reported,
on Chamberlain's statement of this and other
facts the orders ot last night were issued. The
difficulty has its beginning, of course, in the
work of tbe Returning Board, and that is the
question in dispute. The Government regards
the court as interfering in an affair with which
it has no business. So far aa the duties of the
Returning Board afPect interests common to all
the people of the Union, as in the case of
Electors, the Government feels bound to
protect it against unlawful meddling, and this
without regard to who may be elected Governor
otthe State: The pretence of exercismg the
powers of a court would not bo a orotsction
for an unlawful interference with the hoard.
There may have been a wrong done by the
board in its canvass of returns for members
of the State Legislature, or there may not ;
that question tbe Government does not pretend
to decide. The question may be litigated or
decided in any peaceable manner within the
State, but the results of the canvass of Elec-
toral votes are not to be submitted to a
tribunal that has no legal power or right to
meddle yyith them. Senator Gordon, Senator
Johnston, and others, have seen tit to publish
to the country a protest conveniently addressed
to the President, and from the beginning to
tbe end they do not protest against anything
that has actually been done or ordered, but
only protest against their own assumptions of
the President's orders. This will be readily
seen by reading their telegram and the order
to Gen. Euger together. Note ot tho Govern-
ment officers are forecasting the probable oc-
currences in South Carolina. They simply say
that whatever may be done must be done
peaceably.
Senator Morton arrived here to-night about
II o'clock. He came directly through from
San Francisco in six and a half days. Except
the fatigue and wear of the long journey, he is
in excellent health, and ready to enter
vigorously upon the work of the Win-
ter. Senator Morton says he has had
no opportunity of learning tbe feelings
and sentiment of the people of the West with
respect to the political situation. In California,
and on the Pacific coast, the Eepublicans were
very determined, and he believes they are so
everywhere. He speaks with great earnest-
ness of the desperate efforts of the Democ-
racy. They have been out in the cold
so long they are terribly disappointed
because they came so near carrying the elec-
tion, and they will hesitate at nothing desperate
to secure by fraud what they failed to get in
the election. He approves what the President
has done to protect the results ot the election.
He has no hesitation or doubt in declaring
that Hayes has a rightful majority in
the three disputed States, and he refers
to Mississippi as a State in which there was no
more of an election than if it were in Abyssinia.
Senator Morton says the committee of which
he is a member has not completed the taking
of testimon.v concerning the Chinese. About
fifteen hundred printed pages have been taken.
He finds the subject very interesting and im-
portant. It is entirely uncertain wpcn the re-
port will be prepared.
THE TROOPS ly WASHINGTON.
NO REASON" FOR ANY EXCITEMENT WHAT-
EVER— THE MILITARY THiiRE NOT FOR
ANY PARTISAN PURPOSE — BESIDES,
THERE IS A DEMOCRATIC PRECEDENT
FOR IT.
Special Dispatch to the Neui-Yorlt Times.
Washington, Nov. 27. — A gentleman who
was a member of Congress in 18G0,: and who
has since served tbe country in higher military
and civil positions, expresses surprise that any
excitement should bo produced because of the
presence ot regular troops m Washington. He
says. Irom a reading of some newspapers, for-
eigners would be induced to believe that the
Army was the natural enemy of tho people,
and that thny only awaited a s!;;nal to
train their batteries upon tbe populace. Dur-
ing tho closing months of President Buchanan's
Administration, when the land was tilled with
tbreatsof rebellion, the gentleman alluded to,
who was an intimate personal and political
friend of Buchanan, in conjunction with others,
including Gen. Scott, urged tho President to
order a strong body of troops to Wash-
ington. This was finally done, aud troops
were quietly concentrated here in numbers
that caused universal surprise when their
strength was publicly known. Believing that
a full kuowledge of the strength of the force
then in Washington would have a good eflfect
m allaying public excitement and appr^ension
aoout tha jDjuumration of President Lin
coin, Gen. Scott ordered a public parade of
the troops in the streets of the city on
Wsishington'a birthday. The parade was
announced several days in advance,
and drew large crowds of people from
the surrounding country. Up to that
time there had never bee» so large and impos-
ing a display of regular troops in Washington,
and people were surprised and impressed by it.
Nobody then was alarmed about the presence
'of United States troops, and no one thought of
censurmg the President for his precaution In
having tbem here. Tho people have no more
cause for alarm now than then, and the neces-
sity for the presence of regular troops in
Washington is as imperative now as it was in
1861. The Army is here for the defense of the
Government and people, and not in the inter-
est of a party or for the exaltation*f a chieftain.

THK LEGISLATUHB IN SESSION — OEK.
Grant's order introduced as a
resolution and indefinitely -post-
PONED— THE NEXT UNITED STATES SEN-
ATOR.
Svecial Dispatch to the Neip-Tork Times.
Raleigh, Nov. 27. — A resolution -was
introduced in the Lower House of the Legisla-
ture to-day by Willis Bagly, Bepublican, em-
bodying the order of President Grant to Gen.
Sherman, referring to Louisiana and Florida,
thanking tho President for his timely
and
action m preserving the peace of the nation,
and his efforts to secure a fair count in the
States mentioned. The resolution was indefi-
nitel.v postponed by a party vote. Information
from the large negro eaunties shows that
when the polls were closed at sundown
on election day, hundreds of Bepublicans were
standing round the polls with ballots in their
hands, but could not vote because of the delay
caused by wholesale challenging on the part of
Democrats selected for that purpose. All the
whites were careful to vote early. It is now
apparent that several thousand votes were lost
to the Republicans in this manner. M. W.
Bansom, present United States Senator, will
be re-elected to-morrow. The Bepuhhjans
will vote for 0. H. Dookery.
The {Legislature is progressing slowly. No
legislation of any importance bar been enacted
as yet. New systems of courts and county
government will be enacted under the amended
Constitution, and pnt in operation at tbe
earliest moment. The vote for Governor wUl.
be declared to-morrow.
AN ABSURD STORY.
A YARN ABOUT SKNAldR SHERMAN HAVING

FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST.
Special ZHsoatch to the New-York Times.
Columbus, Nov. 27.— An absurd story was
published this morning in aa obscure Democratic
p'aper here, and telegraphed to the Cincinnati En-
quirer, that Senator Sbermaa had telegraphed Gov.
Hayes from New-Orleaus advising him to withdraw
from th^ Presidential contest, and that Gen.
Mitchell, a friend of the Governor, had gone East
to propose a withdrawal to tbe National Committee.
Excepting only tbat Ga|!. Mitchell bas (cone East
on btisiness of bis, own, there Is not a word of truth
in the story. The telegram ami the embassy are
alike purely imaginary.

receiving tbe highest vote got 278,232, the Tildeu
Elector receiving the highest vote, 258,807, and the
Cooper Elector receiying the highest vote, 17,109.
The House will stand 79 Bepublcans and
74 Democrats and Independents with

possibly 3, will co-operate with tbe Bepublicans.

eleven Republicans and eight Democrats. It is
claimed that a recount of the ballots in the
Eighteenth District will elect Wiley, Republican.
The entire Bepublican state ticket is elected.

that Hinton will not contest Jorgensen'a seat In thi

POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN VIRGINIA.
THE ADOPTION OF THE CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS — RATHER SHARP PRAC-
TICE OE THE CONSERVATIVES — GENERAL
NOTES.
From Our Oion Correspondent
Richmond, Thursday, Nov. 23, 1876.
One result, and one result only, of the elec-
tion in Virginia surprised me, as it did the mass of
people of both parties, apd that was the ratification
of the proposed amendments to the State Gonstitn-
(ioD. I beliaved that they would be defeated, as
did nearly everybody else, because the colored vot-
ers unanim»usly opposed them, while even the
white Conservatives were greatly divided upon
them as a whole — and as a whole they had to be
voted upon. Many Conservative newspapers op-
posed them, and others declared that they were
not an issne between the two parties in
the State. Ana after all, they have been
ratified by over thirty thousand majority I How
was this 1 It was accomplished by bad faith and
trickery, and there are many Conservatiyes who
openly say so. Under the general protestation
that the amendments were not an issue of the
canvass, and the quasi official announcement that
the Conservative tickets would bear simply tho
words ''the amendments to the Constitution,"
preceded by a blank to be fill© {as the voter chose)
with " for " or " against "—the amendmeits were
scarcely discussed at all, even by Republicans,
and certainly not by Conservatiros. Bat
a few days before election, as If by con-
cert of action, the Conservative press
in all parts of the State beosme filled
with arguments and appeals in behalf of the amend-
ments, and ttie Conservative tickets bore in full
"for the amendments to the "Coasfitution," with-
out the promised blank. This was sharp practice,
to say the lonst of it. Yet, as the boys say in their
games, "cheating never thrives," and It is the
opinion of many Conservatives high in the party,
tbat the adoption of the amendments will, in a short
experience, brine a heavy retribution in party
dissatisfaction and in an angry internal fight tor
their repeal. The principal proyisions of the
aruendiuonta, aimed at colored Republicans, are re-
quiiiug prepayment of tho State capitation tax as
a condition t.i vjting, and the disfranchlss-
.ment of all persons convicted of pstit lar-
ceny. How this last will work was recently illus-
trated by a caso m tbe neighboring Citv of Man-
chester, where a colored youth waa found guilty of
petit larceny by a jury on proof that bo entered
somebody's orchard and gathered a few apples ! It
is true ihat the Judge set aside tha verdict, and
turned the boy over to his mother to be properly
chastised— but there are Jadees and Judges.
The State Board of Oanvasaers assemble here in
the Capitol next Monday to canvass the vote of the
State. There has been some question raised as to
what thi'? board will do with the misspelled b.tl-
lots cast for Hon. Joseph Jorgensen, the Repub-

VB.B PROPOSKD NETPy AQUEDUCT THE COR-
POBATIOS counsel' 3 VIEWS ON THE
8UBJKCT — MISCELLANEOUS BUSINESS.
In tbe Board of Aldarmen yesterday, a com-
municacioa was received from tbe Corporation
Coonsel in answer to a resolution of tbe board re-
^aesijng him to prepare a memorial to the Legisla-
ture, praying tbem to pass a law providi^ for the
eonstmctioa of a new aqnadoct, ao as
I to s.ecnre an ample supply of Croton
water for the people of this Ctty. In reply
the Corporaiion Counsel says that there is a great
dlver&iiy ot opinion among the City authorities as
to tbe necessity of building another aqueduct, some
being of opinion that all that is necessary Is to in-
arease the storage facilities for water in Putnam
Coonty. while others think that an aqueduct ia
requisite; and he was therefore of the opinion that
it wonld b» better to settle upon a general scheme
of action to secure an ample supply of water, before
milipg upon the Legislature to p^ss any measure
*OB the subject. The Corporation Counsel next refers
to the act of tbe Legislature passed May 2. 1834,
tai relation to supplying this City with water under
that act. He says: "The Governor was authorized
. to nominate and. with the consent of tbe Senate.
to appoint five persons, to be known as " The
Water CommissJiouers of ibe City of New-York,"
wbose duly it was to examine all matters relative
to Bopplyiog tbe City ^sitb a gaSicient quantity ot
pare ahu wholesome water, and nho were empow-
ered to employ en^iineers, iurveyors, and such
Other persons as, in their opinion, might oe necod-
saiy to enable them to perform their duties under
the saiu act. 'Ibesu Commissioners were also
authorized to adopt sach piaus as might be most
advauiaijeons fur pi otunng such supply of water,
to ascertain the amoaat of money to carry the plan
Into effdct, and to report tbe plan to tbn Common
^CouHcil for the approval ot that body. The ques-
tion whether tbe plan shonld be carried out has to
1m submitted to the people at tbe next annaal elec-
tion tor charter ofacave, and. provided a ravjoriiy

the fartbnrauce pf wliiuh ihe Commup Coaiioil
bad also osei) authorized to raise a sum not exceed-
ing |2,500,U()0.
The Ccrporation Counsel then adds :
"Subaequentiy.as the occasion required, addition -
(■1 acts Were paHAied by the Lejiislaiure- authorizing
the r.iisiiig of additional gums of money and pro-
vidiug ior VHiious matler.i of detail in relation to

and al hough tbe proposed new tqueanct may iiot
ha a wo'k of »o great magnitude, yet In view ot the
great difi'ereuce of opinion a:i to tbe best plan to do

estiiuated to cost about twenty millions of ooilars,
the qaestioD as 'o tui> plau to be adopted and to be

Vital importance and which mast be fuliy consid-
ereu and uecidod before aucb biil can be prepared.

that the Counsel to the Corporatiou will assume to

EGYPTIAN AKCMITECTUBE.
LECTURE BY MR. CLARENCE COOK IN REV.
DB. CROSBY'^ CHURCH.
Mr. Clarenoa Cook|BeliTered tbe third lec-
ture in his cour#%AP archirectnre last evening, in
the chapel of Eev. Dr. Crosby'it church, corner of
Fourtb avenue and Twenty-second street. In en-
tering upop bis subjeot — " Aocient Egyptian Archi-
tecture"— Mr. Cook said that tho dwelling-houses
of the ancient Egyptians bad disappeared, and
that their temples only had been left. From
the pictures of the homes of the
Kings on the 'walls of the temples
it was fair to infer tbat tbe homes of tbe old Egyp-
tians were merely tabernacles, or temoorary
dwellings, ot slight oonatmction, and not calcnlatea
to last. The people lived almost out of doors, as it
were, and their houses were surroanded with large
inclosures, in which were nsh-pouds, flower-gar-
dens, and trees. The temples, as they were now
called, were really not templeo. in tbe true sense of
the word, as they fferq,not built f jr places of wor-
ship. They were really built by the Kings to
glorify themselves. Tbe walls wero covered With
paintings representing the deeds of the monarcbs,
but at tbe same time the monarcbs
were depicted iu the act cf rendering
boraage to the gods. Tue great aiflerence
between tbe dwellings and the temples was,
the tormer were built of perishable materials, while
the latter were built of solid, euduring stone. Mr.
Cook then spoke about tbe rnins at Thebes and
Karnac as being the most important, and alter a
brief comparison between the Ej^otian and Gothic
styles of architecture, exhibited a aeries of beautifal
stereoscopic views of the ruina at those places.
These were followed by views of the ruins ac
Philaj, and the entertainment was closed with the
exhibition of a number of pictures of ancient stat-
ues found by a French gen.leman, Mr. Mariette,
in the delta region of the Nile. These statues,
which are now in the museum of the Khfidivo, are
ibe most ancient ever found in Egypt, and are sup.
Tsosed to bo more than four thousand years old.
Some of them are pf wood, and are in a wonderful
state of preservation. The most marked pecu-
liarity about them, however, la that they do not in
tbe least resemble the btatues of the ooantry ot a
later date.

A 8L1GH1 nCHKASEIN DIPHTHERIA
VIEWS or THE SANITARY BUPKlftNTENDENT
ON THK SUBJRCT — NO CAUSE FOR
ALARM ^THE NUMBER OP CASES FOR
THE PAST THRBE MONTHS.
The slight increase in the number of coses
of dlpbtheria reported at the Sanitary Bareaa
during the past three weeks ia attributed to the
approach of the cold season and the variable state
of the weatber, with its rapid alternations of beat
and cold. The health authorities are not at all
alarmed, and Dr. W. De F. Day, the Sanitary Su-
perintendent, says emphatically that the disease is
not epidemic. There has been no Uftdue increase
in the number of cases reported, nor are there more
than the usual proportion of deaths from this dis-
ease. It was not to be expected that the compara-
tive freedom from oontagious diseases which the
City has enjoyed should continue after the cold
weather had set in. Contagious diseases, espe-
cially diphtheria, scarlet fever, and small-pox, are
most prevalent in the Winter when the children are
attending school with greaterregularity, and the air
la oareftilly excluded from the dwellings of tbe poor,
by the closing of doors ana windows to keep out
the cold. These conditions intensify tbe contagion,
and the oentagiouB diseases, particularly diphth-
eria, are also aggravated by defective bouse drain-
age and tbe unwholesome emanations from damp
cellars. Diphtheria is constantly aggravated by
bad hygienic conditions, and it is found difficult to
control tbe disease, owing to the imposstbilitv of
isolating such cases when they occur in tenement-
houses. In private dwellings it is often
found very diffloult to isolate patients so as to
protect the other children in the house,
but iB tenement hoaaea it is impossible. Dr. Day
said that tbe great desideratum at the present time
was a ho.'jpltal for the treatment of patients suffer-
ing from contagions diseases. There aught to be a
place in this City where persons taken sick with
contagions diseases in hotels, boarding-houses, and
tenement houses could be sent and properly cared
for, as was tbe case with small-pox patients, and
which could be conducted in sueh a man-
ner that patients would willingly go there.
The doctor instanced ■ a case where a
wealthy gentleman stricken down with small-
pox was at bis own request taken to the
Biverside Hospital. His wile, a beautiful and ac-
complished lady, accompanied hitn for the purpose
of nursing bim. TTeaterday Dr. Day received a let-
ter from the gentleihan praising tbe management of
the hospital, and expressing his thanks to the doc-
tor for permitting him to become an inmate of tbe
place, and to Dr. Delaney, the resident physician,
and tbe attaches, for the kind and careful treat-
ment received at their bands.
The maiority of the cases of diphtheria were re-
ported from the denselv populated districts on tbe
East Side of the City, where tenement houses
chiefly abound, particularly the Tenth. Eleventh,
Seventeenth, and Eighteenth Wards on the East
Side and the Sixteenth and Twentieth Wards on
the "West Side. The high grouBd in tho centxe uf
the City is comparatively free from tbe disease.
Although the figures for tbe past three weeks show
a gradual increase, they are tar below the number
reported during the corresponding period last year.
Tbe tollowing table shows the number of cases ot
diphtheria rt^ported dpnng September, October, and
November ot this year. Ana the deaths from the
di.oRaae, as compared with tbe same months of
1875 :

EDWIN BOOTH'S APPLIOAIION DENIED.
Judge Van Brunt, in the Special Term of the
Court Of Common Pleas, yesterday denied Edwin
Booth's application for an injnnotion to restrain
Messrs. Jairretc & Palmer frooi using the name ef
Booth in the title of the theatre a,t tbe corner of
Sixth avenue and West Twenty-third street. In
bis opinion, after reoitiog the facts, the Judge goes
on to say : " I am unable to see how the injanction
asked can be granted. Tbe plaintiff has built a
public building and christened It ' Booth's Theatre.'
He bas acquired tor tbat bniiding under that name
a reputation as a place of publlo amuse-
ment. Having thus increased the value
of the premises by that reputation he has mort-
gaged and leased them under the name which he
had given them, aud there is no doubt, from ibe
manner in which the premises are described in the
lease to Junius B. Booth, tbat one of the iadace-
mouts to the lease waa the oublic reputation which
'Booth's Theatre' bad acquired as a place of public
amuaemant. The defendants have succeeded to all
th«ae rights, and one of them, it seems to me, is
the name by which the plaintiff has conveyed these
premises. * * * What, under the circumstances,
does the use of the name 'Booth's Theatre' indicate
to the public? Nothing more, I imagine, than
tbat this tneatre was built by the plaintiff; that
this is tbe theatre which he named upyn its con-
struction ' Booth's Theatre,' and the place of amuse-
ment which has become known to the public
under that name. * * * It seems to me that the
plaintifi" by his acts has affixed bis name to the
theatre, and that his grantees and successors haye
the right to call this building 'Booth's Theatre,'
the name which be has given it. The motion for an
injunction must be denied, with ?10 costs."
TROUBLES OF A SOUTHERN RAILROAD.
The case of Wehle against the Great Southern
Railway Company was brought up before Judge
Lawrence in Supreme Court, Chambers, yesterday,
on a motion for the coutiuuanoe of an injanction
against the defendants. It appears that the plaia-
tifi's assignor, a man named Haas, about two years
ago made a contract with the company by which
be was to place on tho market for sale
certain bonds of the company which were secured
by a mortgage. Haas, lor his services and ex-
penses, was to receive one-third of tbe proceeds.
About thirty million dollars of bonds were to be
put on the market, Haas began with his work,
but did not proceed very fir, being prevented by
the bickerings among tho company's Directors,
No large amounts of tbe bonds coula
for this reason be uipposed of, and the
scheme for placing them on the market
consequently tell throagb. The company now
threatens to cancel the mortgage by which its
bonds are secured, and the injuuction sued for is to
restrain them from doing so. The company was in-
corporated under the laws of Florida ana Georgia,
bmt has built none of its road. Ou the company's
behalf it was claimed yesterday that the schema
having utterly failed, there is now no use of keep-
ing up either the contract or mortgage. The com-
pany also claims the scheme was a mere lottery,
which ought not to be upheld by the court. Judge
Lawrence reserved his decision. Charles Wehle
appeared for the motion, and Benry C. l/ockwood
and George H. Yeaman in opposition.

any property of one Lee, against whom
Day held a judgment. The judument debtor
had formerly been an employe of The Times
upon a weeklysalary, and his creditor attempted
to intercept what be supposed was due for a week's
services. The afflilavit on which the proceedings
were founded alleged that tbe deponent was in-
formed and believed that Mr. Jones had property
of the debtor to the amuunt of more toan ten dol-
lars, .fudge Van Brunt dismissed the proceedings,
remarking tbat an aflidavitou Intormation ana be-
lief was not sufficient to sustain tbem or to ju.stify
a creditor in biiuging a third person before tb'o
court to be examined. It was a hardship to require
a third person having no iuterest to nttend to be
examined, and such a one should never be required
to do so short of a positive alfidayit. It was very
unjust aud inequitable to employers and others to
subject them to such proceedings on a mere allega-
tion of belief. Albert Day, iu pcrseu, for the ap-
plication; Austin Abbott opposed.

JEFF BRITON DAVIS.
HIS WHKHEAB0DT8 NOT KNOWN — NO DOUBT
OF HIS HAVING ARRIVED IN THK
ADRIATIC.
It was reported on Sunday last that Mr.
Jefferson Davis was a passenger ou the White Star
steam-ship. Adriatic, which arrived here on Satur-
day evening. Diligent suaroh has faiiei^, however, to
discover him. He is npt at the No w-york Hotel,
^ here it has been hia habit to stay when in this
City. His former Secretary, Col. Barton N. Harrison,
said last night that he had neither seen nor
heard from him; and Gov. Tilden informed a
TiMBB reporter that he has not been called upon by
the ex-President of the rebel Confederacy. Col.
Harrison did not believe that Mr. Davis was a pas-
senger by tbo Adriatic. He felt certain that his
form»r chief would have called upon him if he had
arrived in this City. The register of the Adriatic
contained only the name of Mr. Divis, and Cnl.
Harrison thought he w6uld not leave Mrs. Davis
and h's daughter behind bim in Europe.
A .TlllKS roporter went tjo the White Star Line
wliatf late last night, and there met an employe of
the Adriatic, who said he knew positively that Mr.
Jefferson Davis arrived here last Saturday, because
be saw him several times during tbe voyage.
Many persons believe tbat the rebel ex-President
did arrive here on the Adriatic, and started South
Immediately upon his arrival. They believe, also,
that his secret actions portend some rash move-
ment in the South.

' A CONVENT hOANDAL IN FBANOE.
The Paris correspotideut of the London
/Standard cf Nov. 16 writes: "A case of sequestra-
tion d la Mortara, which will create considerable
excitement on both sides of the Channel, is about
to come before the law courts here. The story
may be briefly related. Miss M. J. is an English
orphan of nineteen. On the death of her
parents she was placed under the guardian-
shin of her Btep-mother. Sbe is heiress
to a fortune of about thirty thousand pounds,
which she cannot claim before coming of ago; in
tbe event of her death before attaining twenty-one,
the fortune goes to the said step-mother. In No-
vember of last year, the step-mother, desiring to go
to Havti, placed lier ward in the charge of the
reliqieutfi oi the Assumption at Auteui I, just out-
side Paris. The girl, as a Piotestant, objected, and
wished to be put in a, pension, but in vain. She had
■o sooner entered the convent than earnest attempts
were made to induce her to change her religion.
She was .even subjected to cruel treatment, and in
despair she twice tried to commit suicide. At
length her will broke down, and she cousented to
sacrifice her faith and become a Catholic. But tbe
bad treatment did not cease. The poor girl con-
tinued to write to her relatives, but none of the
letters ever reached their destination. Her health
at last gave way, and she was attacked with typhus
fever. The Lady Superior of the convent, fearing
sbe might die, decided at length to write to the girl's
annt in London. This happened last month; the
aunt arrived, and claimed her niece, but
the convent authorities refused to give her
up. She then applied to tbe Prefect of
Police, but in vain, and finally appealed to
the British Ambassador, who sent Sif John Cor-
mack to examine the poor girl. This medical gen-
tleman at once reported that it was abaolutely
necessary and argent that Miss M. J. should b»
taken out of tbe convent. In virtue of this report
a demand was made to the tribunal of referees for
tbe immediate release of the girl, but the court
postponed the ease for a week, and appointed Dr.
Taidiou to examine and report on the poor prisoner's
state of health. Here tbe matter remains for the
present.
TALKING BY WIRE.
The 'Boston Advertiser of Monday says: "An
experiment was made yesterday with the new tele-
phone, recently invented by Prof. A. Graham Bell,
on the telegraph line used by the Eastern Railroad
Company between Boston and Salem. Prof. Bell
was assisted by Mr. Wright and Mr. Nutting, tele-
graphic operators at tbe Boston end, and by Mr.
Thomas A. Watson, an associate of Prof. Bell, as-
sisted by Miss Webb as operator at the Salem end.
There were present at tbe Boston end, as witnesses
of the exneriuien''. the President of the Eastern
Railroad, Gen. A. P. Rockwell, with bis wife, Miss
Stuarns, Mr. Morrison, and Mr. Eustace Hubbard.
(Jonversation was carried ou with Mr. Watson at
Salem by all' those present, In turn, without tbe
slightest difficulty, even tbe voices ot the spoakera
belug easily recognized. Whispering was found to
be perfectly audible, but was nnintelligible. After a
time, instead of grounding the wire at b lein, it
was connected With North Conway, a distance of
143 miles fro'u Boston, thus leaving Salem as a way
sv^ition. After this change had been made there
was a slight diminution in tbe loudness ot tbe tones,
but no (tifflcuity was experienced iu carrj-iiig on
conversation. Another change was made, whereby
the electric current was sent to Portland, and back
by another lins to Salem, thus making Salem a ter-
minal station at tbe end of nearly two hundred miles
of wire. The result of this chsnge was that the
tones of tbe speakers could be beard, but so faintly
as to be unintelligible. With electro-magnets ot a
higher resistance, Prof. Boll is confident that the
sounds would have been perfectly intelligible, the
magnets used, it must be recollected, being only in-
tended fur a twenty mile circuit."

LAW REPORTS.
TSE HOLBROOK WILL C4SB.
MUNIFICRNT BKQUKSTS TO CRABITABLE ANT*
EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES — THE LITIGA-
TION OVER THE DI^P08ITI0N OF HALF A
MILLION DOLLARS — ^TVyENTY-FIVB COUN-
SEL AND THIRTY CHARITIES INTERESTED
IN THE RKSULT — AN ELABOEATE OPIN-
ION BY JUDGE VAN VORST.
The Holbrook 'will case 'w^as decided by Jiidgo
Van Vorst. in the Sunreme Court. Special Term, yes-
terday. The action is quite a noteworthy one. van
many days were consumed in ita trial. Tbe proper-
ty involved is over half a million of dollars, and
more than thirty charitable institutions of this City
are interested in the result. About twenty-five
counsel were engaged in tbe trial of tbe cause,
and numerous novel and interesting points of
law were presented and are aiscussad In Judge
Van Vorsl's opinion, which covers 148 pages
of foolscap. The Board of Education and the pub-
lic schools of the City will, under the decision,
come in for a share of the property. The action
waa entitled Belts and others against Belts and
Others. Tbe plaintiffs are the Executors and Trus
tees under the will cfEphraim Hol'orook, deceased-
The defendants are tbo Executors of Samuel R. Betts'
the Executors and Trustees of Nancy Holbrook,
(widow of Ephraim,) of the next of kin of Ephraim
and Nancy Holbrook. and of tho residuary legatees
under the will of Ephraim and Nancy Holbrook.
The object of the action was to determine the eflect
of Ephraim Holbrooks will. He died in 1852, leav-
ing a will, in which, after giving some legacies,
since paid, he left his widow certain property ab-
solutely,' and gave her the income of the remainder
of his estate during her life. Under
bis will abe also received a power
to -direct by her will who should
have $30,000 of the principal after her death. Afte*
the death of Mrs. Holbrook, Mr. Holbrook's Execu-
tors were directed to pay specific legacies to a num-
ber of charitable iastitutions, among which were
incltMled the ward school Trustees and the Board
of Education, The residue of the estate was
directed to be divided equally between,
five charitable inatitn lions and Samuel R.
Betts. Judge Van Vorst, in his opinion
first takes up tbe questions arising
under the will ot Mrs. Holbrook. He holds that
the power given to her as to tne disposition of
f30,OOO of the property was a valid one,
and was properly exercised by her leav-
ing it to her executors to carry out cer-
tain trusts. The main quostions in dispute
arose under the husband'^ will, tbe first being
nrb ether the devise to tbe Executors created a
valid trust, conveying an estate in the lands. Qn
this Judge Van Vorst holds that an estate was
oreated by the direction in tbe will to collect tbe
rents and income of the lands. This involved ne-
cessarily an estate in the lands so long as such col-
lection was necessary — that is, during the life of
the widow — but that it terminated at her death. A
power, however, continued in them, under the terms
of the will, foi three years, in order to carry out the
testator's purposes. Tbe next general question
that arose was whether tbe estate In the bands of
the Trustees was real or personal property, and the
Judge holds on this point that, as the wiU directed
an absolute sale of the real estate, tbe wbole of the
estate became personal property in equity imrafr!
dlately on his death, except where the purposes for
which such conversion was meant failed.
BIGHTS OF CHAKITIE8 TO TAKE PROPERTY.
Judge Van Vorst next discusses the right of the
various charitable institutions to take property by
bequest. Amoag these is the New;York Asso-
ciation for Improving the Condition of tbe Poor.
This has a specific legacy of flO.TlOO, and is,
besides, one of the ^residuary legatees, it
was incorporated under the General act of
1848. bat objection was -made to its taking
oroperty on the ground tbat its articles of incor-
poration were defective, Judge Van Vorst over-
rules this objection. A second objection was, how-
ever, made to this charity, to the Demilt Dispen-
sary, to the American Female Guardian Society,
and to the New-York Sabbath Tract Society, all
legatees and all organized under tbe same act. Tbe
objection was that the act forbids a testator, leav-
ing wife or children llviag, from giving more than
^10.000 of income to any one society, or more
than onequarter of the testator's estate, in ^11, to
charities. .ludge Van Vorst holds that the act ap-
plies only to charitable societies incorporated
under it, and that the whole amount of
the bequests to 1)beRe four Booieties, Inclnd-
ing their share of the residuary estate, does
not amount to more than one-fourth of tbe testa-
tor's estate. He therefore sustains these bequests.
The next class of charitable institutions includes
the New- York Protestant Orphan Asylum, to which
J6,000 is given ; tb? New- York Institution for tbe
Blind, to 'Which $10,000 js given, and the New- York
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, to which $10,000
ia given, all being residuary legatees of a one-sixth
share. The objection to the bequests to these
arises from the provisions of their special charters,
wbich limit them to taking a eertain amount, it
being claimed* tbat the limit 'will be exceeded it
they take ambunts left tbem under tbe will. Ou
these Judge Van Vorst rules tbat tb» bequest as to
$2,650 of the 9ii4. 000 left to the Protestant Orphan
Asylum ia invalid, but that the bequests to the
others are good. By the will, also, $10,000 waa left
to tbe Ameiioan Home Missionary Society, and it
was also made a residuary legatee. To this society
the objection is tbat it was unincorporated, and
the Judge decides that the legacy lapses.
Nor does it help the society that it bas
since been incorporated. Tbe bequest can also not
be snstained as a bequest to the members of the
association. This applies to all incorporatea so-
cieties, of which a number are legatees, and a be-
quest to the Marine Bible Society comes within tbe
samo ruling, and it is not helped by tbe tact that
the society is auxiliary to tbe Amctican Bible
Society, which was incorporated. The gitt to tne
Board of Education of |5,000 for books to
the Free Academy, now the College ot the City of
New-York, is upheld, the board being a corporation
and the Free Academy being within its proper
scope. As to the gift to the Trustees of the publtc
schools of the Citv, as they might exist at tbe time
of the distribution of the estate, of $230 for a li-
brary fur each school above the grade of primary
school, Judge Van Vorst holds it vested at
the Oeath ot Mrs. Halbrook. in 1874, and that the
words lu the will, "at tbe final distribution," do not
extend the time of the vesting of that right beyond
th^t date. He also holds that by a school the tes-
tator meant each department, male and female, and
not each numbered school. The be-
quests, however, do not extend to the
schools in the territory added to
the City since the testator's death. Tbe income of
tbe estate after tbe death of Mrs. Holbrook and up
to tbe time of sale is declared to belong to those to
whom the remainder and residue of the estate is
given after the payment of the specific gifts. The
void gifts go to the heirs at law ot the testator.
The total legacies to charities amount to about two
hundred thousand dollars.
A "BLACK FRIDAY" SUIT.
THB CASE OF BUSSINGKR AGAINST GOULD AND
OTHERS — JAY GOULD VICTORIOUS.
The suit ef Isaac M. Bussinger against Jay
Gould and others was brought to trial before Judge
Donohue and a^ jury in Part III. of the Supreme
Court, Circuit, yesterday. The action was one of
those growing out of the " Black Fiiday " trans-
actions, the plaintiff claiming about fl8,000 for'
losses on gold which he alleged the defendant had
purchased of hitn at 160. They had refused to take
the gold, and he had been obliged to sell it at 136.
David M. Porter appeared for the plaintiff, and
Thomas G. Shearman and William A. Beach repre-
sented the defendants. Albert Speyera was the first
witness called. Ho said lie was a gold-broker, and
knew James Fisk, Jr., Jay Gould, J. B. Bache,
Henry H. Martin, and Henry M. Smith. Mr.
Shearman objected to all testimony as to Fisk as
one of the detendauts, he not having been a mem-
ber of Jay Gould's firm. The objection was sus-
tained, and an otfet to show that Fisk gave the
order for tbe gold ou behalf of the defendants was
excluded. Mr. Speyer then continued bis testi-
mony. He said that the day before " Black Fri-
day '' be had a conVersation with Henry M. Smith,
of Smith, Gould, Martin & Co., in regard to pur-
chases and sales of gold, but only relating to that
day. Witness saia he had traasactious with the
plaintiff on "Black Friday." Ho bad made
a contract to sell gold to Fisk. and, as he
thought, to Mr. Gould. Tbe \^iLne88, on "Black
Friday, in tbe afternoon, went to tbe Stock Ex-
cbauge and sbowea Mr. Gould his entries, among
them beiui^ that of Buasiugur <fc Co.; Jay Gould
was then called and sworn as u witness f ir the
plaintiff; he said bo knew of no orders given to
Speyera to buy gold on "Black Friday ;. " he had
heard no sucli ord"rs given by his partners; be
had seen Speyera in tbe office the day before; wit-
ness did not know, nor bad bo any I'eason to be-

He testified' that ue haJ no conversation with
Speyeis about buying gold on " Black FrjUay," aud
bad not directly or indirectly authorized Speyers
to buy gold on the day iu quesll m. Isaac M. Bus-
singer, the plaintiff, was then called and sworn. He
tearifled tbat his memorandum of the salw of the
gold bail been mislaid; he said it read, "Bought
from 1. M. Busslnger <fc Co. $50,000 American gold
at i60, on account of James Fisk, Jr.. <fe Co.;" on
the Saturday after "Black Friday" the witnesa
■went to Speyera' ofince and tendered the amount of
the gold in certilicates ; Mr. Osborne, Spejers'
Cashier, told tho witness they could not take

and on Oct. 5 had to sell the gold ; he sold it, on ac-
count 01 Speyers, at 136.' On cros^-examinaiion. the

Mr. Shearman vsked the court to direct a verdict
for the defendants on tho gronnda tbat no agency
had been proved, that the sale had been to Fisk ;
that the tender had been irregular, and that Speyera
was aurhorized la declining to receive the gold.
Judge Donobue admitted the force of tbeae pointa,
and directed a verdict ior tbe delendanta.
A MARRIAGE AMQNQ TffE INDIANS.
THB DIVORCE SUIT OF DAVIS AGAIKBT DAVIS
— RIDICtJLOUS PRESUMPTIONS OF LAW
aiFKRKED TO BY JUDGE VAN BRUNT—
A COMPLAINT DISMISSED.
Judge Van Brunt, in the Special Term of tho
Coart of Common Fleas, yesterday handed down
his opinion in the divorce case of Mary Ann Davia
agataiat Samuel C. H. Davis, recently decided by
him. He aays, among other thinga : "It haa been
claimed upon tbe part of the eounsel for tha plain-
tiff that extraordinary preaumptions muat guide ue
in determining the facta of the case, because a ques-
tion of legitimacy is involved. I have been unable
to appreciate this auggestion, because, perhaps un-
fortunately, there has not been a Bu£3clent quan-
tity of aentiment ingrafted in my nature to
permit me to comprehend how it is possible
that children who live but a few months
after the'r birth can have any earthly intereat In
any decision which our tribunals may make in re-
gard to their status, and it Is very osrtainffibat no de-
termination that this court can make yvlll, In any
manner, affect their status in the world which they
now inhabit." Judge Van Brunt, continuing, says
there eau be no doubt tbat the plaintiff if more
entitled to sympathy than tbe defendant. At the
time she contracted the marriage, she supposed
that »he bad the right to marry. She had been pre-
viously married ia the Indian Territory, aceordiog
to the Territorial laws, but had told the defendant
of all the circumstances. " The only question *f
fact," aays Judge Van Brunt, " ia the
determination of the character of the cere-
mony which toolc nlace in the Indian
Territory In the fore part of October, 1869, betwean
tbe plaintiff and J. M. Taylor, and at which the In-
dian preacher cfSciated, and whipb was performed
in the presence of 'Pomp,' tba plj^intiff'a slater.
In deteXmiuing that question we must necessarily
exclude from all consideration the certificate of
marriage, because it is contradicted by facta which
I consider well established by tbe evidence, and
because it is not legal e-yidence for »ny purpose, for
reasons wbich I will call attention to hereafter."
Tbe facte and circumstances in regard to tbe mar-
riage of the plaintiff to J. M. Taylor, asgiyen by
Judge Van Brunt, are as follows : " It appears that
the plaintiff was a widow, ba'ving been married to a
man by the name of Vance, who was then dead:
that her sister 'Pomp' was married to a Col.
Taylor, and that Col. Taylor had a son pained J. M.
Taylor, by a previous 'wiie, aud that he resided with
bis tamily at Banh^, Texas. It further appears
that the plaintiff's sister wa# e:^ceedingly desirous
that the plaintiff should marry J. M. Taylor, and
that the plaintiff had uromi^jcd so t-o do wiibin two
years, but tbat the sister was npt content with that
promise and desired that some ceremony should be
pertormed between the plaintiff and Taylor, ao tha*;
there would be no doubt as to ber being Taylo'-'s
wile after her aister's death ; tbat such a ceremony
was not peiformed between tbe parties iu Texas,
because it could not be kept a secret, which seems
to have been considered necessary. On or about the
11th of October, 1869, the plaintiff and her eiater
leave Booham for the ostenslbletpprpose of going to
the river, some sixteen miles distant, to pick plums,
aad by a strange coincidence they meet at tbe river
J. M. Taylor, who had gone from Bonham to the
river by another route. Without waiting to pick
any plums Taylor and the two sisters at once cross
the river and oontiouB their journey in the Indian
Territory, until they arrlre it a log cabin inhabited
by a man who preached to the Indians. Upon their
arrival tho preacher w^as absent and the party
waited until his return, whereapon a oeremonv waa
pertormed between the plaintiff and J. M. Taylor,
which the plaintiff calls a marriage ceremony."
The evidence as to the marriaue is' very meagre.
Tbe plaintiff swore tbat tho preacher had said he
was not an ordained preacher. She also
testified that they gave falae names,
and that she did not consider the
ceremoay any more than a more solemn reoitation
of the promiaa she had made to her sister. After
the ceremony had been performed the party return-
ed to Bonkam, and the plaintiff next morning left
for San Antonio. The parties never lived together
as man and wile. The plaintiff, however, thoustht
it necessary afterward to apply to tbe authorities
of the Indian Territory for a divorce from Taylor.
"It is apparent,'' says Judge Van Brunt, "from
the circumsiancea surrounding this case, that the
parties went to the preacher's cabin for tiie purpose
of carrying out the wish of tbe plaintiff's sister
that she [the plaintiff! should be yoijhg Taylor's
wife, and that the ceremony coula not be
performed in Texas, because it could not
be kept a secret, which seemod to be considered
necessary. Pomp seemed to be determined to have
this thing fixed in her lifetime, so that there could
be no mistaae about it after her death, and this ex-
pedition into the Indian Territorv wa^ jatuxned to
carry this determination into effect. At the time
of her subsequent marriage to the detendani, the
nlaintiff nnaoubtealv supposed that tbe marriage
witb Taylor was void because false names had been
given, and m this belief she is not alone, becgiiise it
is shared by many people. Iu fact. I recollect that
one of the English novelists has made the plot of
his novel turn upon thefaut that a marriage was
void iTecauae the husband was married under an
assumed name. The fact tbat the plaintiff always
speaks of this ceremony as a 'marriage ceremony ;'
tbat she thought it necessary to get a divorce; that
she always claimed the marriage was void because
false names had been given • and tba circumstances
which surrounded the parties at the time the cere-
mony was performed, seemed to me to lead irresist-
ibly to the conclusion that a ceremony of inarriage
per verba de prcesenti and not per^erba defuturo, as
is now claimed by tbe plaintitf, was performed.
* * * In coming to the conclusion which 1 have,
I have given due weight lo the presumption that
no marriage took place in the Indian Territory, be-
cause of the suloaeqaent marriage between the
plaintiff' and the tlefouaant, but I do not, consider it
proper for a Judge, in order to gtve
effect to a presumption to override the
necessary conclusions which muat be
derived from established facts. I know that pre-
sumptions have been carried to bo great a length
both in this country and iu Great Britain aa to ren-
der the law not only uncertain but ridiculous.
Presumptions have been allowed to overrule both
reason and common sense, because the exigencies
of some particularly hard case seem to require it
There is a case reporied in England which tuliy
illustrates tbe proposition, A man was on trial tor
poaching. It was claimed upon tbe part of the
prosecution that be had shot and killed a pheasant
contrary to law, and thereby made himself amen-
able to a fine. The evidence was that he was seen
with a gun in bis bands, and tbat a pheasant rose
before him, that he raited bis gun ana tired in loe
direction uf the pheasant, which immediately fell
dead. The jury found a verdict for tbe defendant.
Prosecution appealed. Upon the decision of the
appeal the court say that, under the doctrine of
presumption, the veruict may be sustained, beoaase
there being no evidence of any wound upon the
bird, tho iury may have presumed that the bird
was killed, not by any shot from the defendaui's
gun, but was frightened to death at the noise of tfis
ef plosion when the gun was fired. Ridiculous as
such a case seems to be, equally violent presump-
tions have been indulged' lu by our courts in order
to enable ihom to reach some desired conclusion.
It IS with regret that I have come to the conclusion
which I haye stated upon the facts of tbis case,
but hard as it may be to tbe plaintiff! having come
lo this conclusion, it is my duty to decide accord-
ingly."
Judge Van Brunt then goe» on to show how the
marriage certificate between the plaintiff and Tay-
lor must be excluded as evidence, and that there is
absolutely no kzioci or law of the place to govern
the contract oK the marriage between them. He
therefore thinks it must be governed by the laws
of Texas, whore the parties resided : but as neituer
the common law nor the law of New-York can be
presunied to prevail in tbat State, he holds the
matter must be decided according to the principles
ot the civil law. Under the civil law it is a max-
im that consent and not cohabitation constitutes
marriage. Under tbe provisions of the Council of
Treut. 11 is necessary lor a marriage to bs solem-
uiz'jd by an ordained minister. This doctrine did
uot, however, prevail In Spain, from which country
Texas was ceded. The first marriige with Taylor,
therefore, being valid, and Taylor being still alive,
Judge Van Brunt decides tne maitiage'to the do-
feuduut to be void, aud dismisses the complaint.

A REMINISCENCK OF THE GREAT BOND
FORGKRIES OF 1873— RALSTON, ALIAS

A QUESTION OF IDKNTITY.
The great bond forgeries which bo startled
commercial and financial circles iu 187J were again
brought to public notice yesterday in the trial of
Charles Ralston, alibis Walter A. Stewart, alias
Walter Sheridan, which came up before Coief
Justice Davis and a Iury, in the Court
of Oyer and Terminer. Ralston was one
of tbe " Spence ' Pettis gang, and
aided in pultiu;: large amounts of forged Buffalo,
Now- York and Erie, and New- York Central bonds
ou the market. He was arrested In February last
While ou bis way from Washington- Tho details of
tbe forgeries and of tbe civil salts against bim and
the other members of tbe gane have been rehearsed
from time to lime in Th'E Times. District Attorney
Phelps and Mr. Lyon appeared f^T the people
yesterday, and A. Oakey Hall represented the
prisoner. Mr. Lyon opened tbe case for tbe
prosecution ; he said that the prisoner in 1873 oc-
cupied desk-room in Wall street, and waa a mem-
ber of 'the Stock Exchange ; he contrived to obtain
a loan of 130.000 from the New-York Guaranty and
Indemnity Company, depositing as collateral torty-

A DISSOCTIlIOn OF PARINERSUIP.
Judge Van Brunt yesterday rendered a deol-
lon in tbe case of William R. Hunt against George
r Wenck and George W. DunUp. The action was
broaght for relief to the pUintiff against the do-
fmdant Wenok, and for a disaolution of the copart-
nership between the plaintiff and the deiendants,
•Bd an equiUble disposition ana distribution of the
BWparty of the Arm. The parties keep the drug
store In tha Oilsey House. The partnerahip . waa
fonnod la December, 1875, between WsnoJt and
Hunt. Wenck iadaoed Hub* not • to exam-
too the stock, and said it was worth |13 000
Hnat retted oa the truth of the statements 'and
boogbt a oB«-h^f intereet for |6,a0O. In February
l»T«, Duniap, 00 similar repjeaantatwnB by Wenok
sorohased k qaarter interest for $3,350. II was af*-
tatward aacerutined that thwe was only $6 OUO
gorth o/atoe(c and ^ituree op J»n. 1, 1876, and that
Wsnck S statements were not trns. Wenck denied
tbe allejtations, however. Judge Van Brunt, in his
spuiloa. says: "There is no douot in my mind from
the evTdeaoe, that the defendant. Wenok, funnd tbe
plaintiff a stranger ana took him in, J think that
Mie daim ot the defendant U borne out by the tes-
Mmonv ; Mat by the false reprssentatious of the de-
badMt, Wenck, made for the purchase, he was In-
duoed not to examine the stock in trade,an interest in
whl(V> he bought. Such being the case, the rule of
prnei^ emptor cannot spply to this purnose, but
however much the plaintiff may have been damni-
led by these false representations, such damage
_ Huinot be repaired in this action. The plaintiff
■nst bring bis aotion for fraud and deceit. It ia
llesr to my miod that tbe defendant Duniap baa
mown no oatue of aotion aa against his co-defend-
uit. No representations were made to him, and be
baa nothing to complain of exjcept bis own negli-
Seoce." Jndge Van Brant decrsea a disseiation of
IS copartnership and the distribution of the
amonat reused aiBong the parinera. . Tha plain-
tiff la glyea eoat* «• against Wenok.

Monday, Nov. 27— P,
The tone of speculation on the Stock Ex-
change to-day reflected unmistakably the feel-
ine of despondency with which the business fu-
ture is regarded by the financial and commercial
comniunity, tlie market, with scarcely any ex-
ception, drifting toward lower prices. For a
wonder the day passed without a single report,
favorable or otherwise, being put in oiroulation
in regara to the railroad war, and it is but lit-
tle to say that the self-donial exhibited by the
rumor-mongers in this respect is entitled to all
commendation. The entire business for tbe day
footed Up 98,417 shares, which included 33,000
Lake Shore, 20,350 Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, 11,000 Western Union, 6,400 St. Paul,
6,200 Michigan Central, 4,600 New-Jersey Cen-
tral, and 3,800 Erie. The decline in prices
ranged from ^ to 2V4 f cent., and was most
marked in the coal shares. The strenuous ef-
forts recently made to sustain these stocka
seem to have been pi;acticall7 abandoned,
which is not in the least surpnsinof in view of
the fact that every advance manipulated last
week was almost invariably met by a steady
stream of long stock, which rendered
realizations difficult, if not impossible.
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western dropped
from 71'>6 to 687/6 and closed at 6996. There
were free sales of this stock on time options at
a difference of 2 V4® 2 Ml !>■ cent, Irom the price
in the regular way. New-Jersey Central broke
from 35% to 34, with a subsequent rally to
347/8. Delaware and Hudson Canal fell off
from 70Vi8 to BO^A and to 67 seller sixty, with-
out any recovery in the late dealings. Lake
Shore declined trom &7 to SG";^, and Michigan
Central from 43^ to 43V6, olosine at about the
lowest point. The St. Paul and North-western
shares were ¥4®% ^P' cent, lower, and Union
Paoifioon a more active bnsinees than tisual de-
clined 1 ¥ cent.,(dosing at 58. Erie and Wabash
were bath firmer, and advanced about Mi ^
cent. Illinoia Central rose from 72 to 73.
Western Union was slightly lower, the price
fluotuaUng between 71^ and 71%, the latter
the cloeihg quotation. A prominent official of
the Western Uai*n Company informs us that
largdy ia exceaa ot tik(»e of lact
year, and that the eurrent month 'will

The Canvassing Board got to work to-day
in JPallahMsee. Mr. Cocke, the Denrocratic
Attorney General, was reminded of the in-
.jdeeency of hia dispatch declaring that the
'Stete had gone for Tilden before the re-
turns were in by a protest against his sitting
■with the board after snch a prejudgment
of tlie &ctB which the board was to decide
iqwD. Arrangements were made to admit
wpreaeutative politicians to the meetings
of thfj board, six from each party, one-
lialf from the North and one-half from
FI<Mrida. Gov. Stearns, and the Democratic
cto.didate for Governor, with the oom-
nutnder of the United States troops, were
iTivited to be present. The board will re-
Vome work to-day, and its course so far is
muh. as to command confidence and respect.
It will be seen by our dispatches that the
Bepublican members of the Florida board
are men of high character, and that they are
not "carpet-baggers. There is no doubt
.*hat ou the face of the returns, without any
allowance for fraud or irregTilarity,|the vote
of the State shows a clear majority for
Batbs. The rules of the board are sensible
♦ad fair. ^
Among the faithful Democrats assembled
•* Washington, the question of the Speak-
ership of the House assumes more impor-
tance than that of the Presidency itself.
When the House adjoaraed Mr. Saylek
occupied the chair, with little credit to
Ums^if and no special advantage to his
party. He is a poor specimen of a rather
indi/Ierent order of Democratic statesmen,
„«nd. his^ party, in the present emer-
g»acy, requires a man of more ludg-
laaat and character, as well as more
padiameutary skill. He is, however, a
r;andidAte for the office, and is pushing his
claims vigorously in the orthodox fashion,
Mr. S. S. Cox is also an aspirant. Every
^»ne knows that he is a man of considerable
ability, but he would make, we fear, but a
,3po#« show in the chair. He knows parlia-
B»uitary law well enough, but he is hasty
fai temper, a bitter partisan, and
there are reasons of a personal
'Mod, perfectly well-known in Washing-
ton, which make it undesirable that he
Bhoold be called to so responsible a position.
But it Mr. Teldkn makes up his mind that
Mc'^OX will serve his purposes better than
any one else, we suppose that that will de-
cide the matter. The party Kepresentatives
will go through the form of holding a can-
ons, but that is an amusing and harmless
way of spending time which engaged their
attention a good deal last Winter, and
Vnouated to nothing.
rbe arithmetic man of the World ha« be-
3oine discouraged over the task of making
out impossible majorities in the Electoral
College, and has turned Ms attention to
Congress. There his efforts result in arf
Otonounced majority of 26, which is about
fchree times as great as the facts allow.
The method by which this is brought about
is amusingly obvious to any one who will
take the trouble to examine the World's list
of Congressmen elected. The member from
Colorado is set down as a Democrat. This
is probably due to force of habit. The World
had told li stories from the Literary
Bureau about Colorado so long that it could
not be expected to tell the whole truth at
once, even if it tried, which in this case
there is no reason to suppose that it did.
Colorado will be represented in the next
Congress, as in this, by a Bepublican. Next
tjie World claims two Democrats from Flor-
ida* There are certainly two sides to the
Queption of who are elected there, and it
woT^d have been only prudent to set these
down as doubtful. In Louisiana, the Fourth
District is doubfcfuL In the Third District
Of Massachusetts the Wotld claims a Demo-
^at; a Bepublican is elected. The Third
Mis^iouri, claimed as l>emocratic, is in
^Kbt. In the Twenty-third Pennsyl-
crat, is a Bepublican. The Third Mary-
land is in dispute. California stands
three Republicans to one Democrat, instead
of two to two. The above corrections hav-
ing been made, the pleasing majority of
twenty-six will be found to be whittled
down to about ten. And we may remind
the World, '#hile we are about 'it, that Mr.
Jones, a Democrat, and not the Liberal
Brombeko, is elected in the First Alabama
District.
We shall now see t^e Democratic papers
hastening to announce that there is a Hayes
Elector in the Electoral College of Missouri.
Their doctrine, as laid down by themselves,
is, that when an ineligible person has
been voted for for Presidential Elec-
tor, the effect is not to create a
vacancy, but to elect the candi-
date on the other ticket having
the next highest number of votes. It
is as if the votes cast for the particular per-
son who is ineligible had not been cast at all.
In Missouri, one of the candidates, Mr. D,
M. . Frost, is a gentleman, who, having
taken an oath to support the Constitution
of the United States, went into
the rebellion. This ip not an un-
natural occurrence in Missouri, but, on a
strict application of Democratic doctrine, it
IS an unfortunate one for the candidate.
This, with the case of the North Carohna
Elector noted yesterday morning, deprives
Mr. TiLDKN, on his own organ's showing, of
two Electoral votes.
For tricks that are vain the Democrats
this year are more peculiar than usual. By
a dispatch from Montpelier, Vt., to ^he
Boston Journalf it seems that the Secretary
of State of Vermont has received from some
anonymous source a series of blanks,
printed in the form usual for docu-
ments sent out from Washington,
purporting to be designed for the
certificates that are required to be made' in
lionnection with the Electoral vote, together
with extracts from the statutes, &c, Ou
examination, it was found that these blanks
are spurious, and calculated to mis-
lead the authorities. Sach documents
could, of course, come only from one
source, and have but one motive. They
are undoubtedly among the expiring
efforts of the Liberty street "nincompoops,"
and probably they have been sent to other
Bepublican States. No one, however, is
likely to be deceived "by them. The State
officers who may receive them are by no
means so ready to accept blindly the pro-
ductions of the bureau as the Democratic
editors, from those of the remotest country
journals up, or down, to those of the World
and Sun.
The bureau, however, must look to its
laurels, unless, which is not impossible, it
has a branch establishment in Columbus.
A dispatch from that City to a Democratic
paper in Cincinnati, announces that Senator
Sherman has telegraphed to Gov. Hayes
that he had better withdraw from
the Presidential contest, and that a
friend of the President elect had
left for the East to consult the National
Committee "on the subject. It is hardly
neeessary to say that the dispa^h is a false-
hood out of whole cloth. Gov, Hayes
needs no-advice on his course in this emer-
gency. He has conducted himself with
marked dignity and propriety from the first,
and will continue to do so.
THE CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The dispatches from South Carolina re-
port the beginning of that conflict of au-
thority which has been at once evident and
inevitable ever since the Supreme Court of
the State usurped the power to determine
questions which, by the Constitution and
the law, were brought within the purview
of the Keturning Board. The Judges of the
United States Circuit Court have not granted
writs of haieas corpus in the case of the im-
prisoned members of the board; but they have
entertaaaed. the application, and, pendiiig
the decision, the members have been trans-
ferred from the custody of the jailer to that
of the United States Marshal, They are
now virtually at liberty. The ground upon
which the application was based was that
the board were discharging the duties of
appointing Presidential Electors when the
Supreme Court of the State interfered.
In anticipation of this action, Mr. Tildeit
has supplied to the Democratic newspapers
passages from law books intended to prove
that in a matter of habeas corpus a United
States court could not possibly acquire a right
to interfere with a commitment tor contempt
by a court of the State. One of these quo-
tations, from HURD, seems to concede all the
power required. "It [the commitment]
cannot be attacked," the writer remarks,
"under the writ of habeas corpus, except
for such defects as render the proceedings
void," There will probably be little difficulty
in proving that the exception thus stated
covers the case. At any rate, we know that
there are lawyers quite as learned as Mr.
TtLDEN who hold that the Federal court
may interfere, and that for every line cited
on his side, another line of equal wei^jht may
be adduced in support of the claim under
which the interposition of that coart is in-
voked. Judges Bond and Bryan may be
safely left to deal with the law of the case,
which is too important to be governed by
quibbles or to be obscured by the techni-
calities that would fetter the administra-
tion (}f justice.
The iirst condition of respect for consti-
tuted authority is that that authority shall
respect itself. Has the Supreme Court of
South Carolina complied with this condi-
tion t Has it pursued the course which
entitles it to public confidence, or has it
wantonly, and for partisan purposes, ex-
ceeded its powers, and laid claim to an
authority which the Constitution of the
State has vested in another body? It should
be remembered that the court ignored the
issue which presented the latter phase of
the question, and that down to this moment
it has not, in terms, affirmed any lack of
constitutional sanction in the proceedings of
the board, or any provision of the Constitu-
tion or the law giving itself a right to di-
rect, or correct, or alter, in any manner,
what the board had done. Clearly, the first
duty of the court, when asked to interfere,
was to define the law giving it jurisdiction,
or to set forth precisely in what par-
ticulars the board had perverted or neglect-
ed their powers. The general principles of
the law having been authoritatively stated,
thtix avolioatlexx mut have been iatellud>-^
ble and nniform, if hot just. But Judges
Moses and Wu-lard refused to consider
the question of law, and at every stage of
the business adapted the law to the alleged
facts, with the view of sustaining the
methods marked out by the Democratic
counsel. On the question whether,
in the judgment of the court,
the board were possessed of judicial
powers — the question on which, manifestly,
all else turned — Judge Willard declined to
express an opinion. " We want to know,"
he said, " who received the highest number
of votes." There was not ev€n a semblance
of regard for the law. All Messrs. MosKS
and WiLLAUD cared to know was what the
exigencies of the Democratic case required ;
and having got the information, they issued
orders to cover the exigencies, without
condescending to adduce legal precedents
or principles in justification of their
conduct. Now and then they afi'ected a
zeal for forms, and for a few hours delayed
compliance with the propositions of the
Democratic counsel ; but their partisan bias
revealed itself at every step and left no
rooin for doubt as to the decision. The
Democratic lawyers obtained all they want-
ed. The legal advisers of the beard were
as steadily overruled, not on the question
of law/ for that the court never touched,
but in pursuance of the determination of
the court to shape its orders and man-
damuses to serve the ends of the
Democratic Party. As a cchsequence
of this arbitrary action, the orders
were at variance one with another ; one
being issued to meet a certain state of facts,
when a given object was to be secured—
a totally opposite order being issued to meet
a similar set of facts existing at a different
stage of the controversy. The whole con-
duct of the court, from the 14th inst., when
its intervention was first sought, to the 22d,
when its fruitless mandate was issued, was
characterized by a shameless disregard of
its proper functions, and an equally shame-
less assumption of authority rightfully be-
longing to the Eaturning Board.
These considerations may or may not be
germane to the point of law which the
United States Circuit Court will decide to-
morrow, but they will go far toward re-
conciling the country to any exercise of
authority which that court may sanction
in opposition to the arbitrary, andf
to the mind of the layman, the nn-
constitutional, action of the Supreme
Court of the State. To suppose that no
remedy can be available for any outrage it
may commit, would be to make a couple of
worthless Judges masters of all that con-
cerns the liberty and welfare of the citizens.
It I would be to empower Messrs. Moses
and Willard to choose Presidential Electors
without any pretense of regard for the will
of the voters. A commitment based upon
this presumption is indefensible on
any principle of justice, and the
measures leading up to it were
so scandalous in every respect, that, what
ever the decision of the Federal court may
be, we hope that the State Legislature will
supplement it by calling Messrs. Moses and
WilXARD to a sharp account. The correc-
tion of the wrong they have committed will
not be enough. The demands of justice
will be imperfectly satisfied unless the
authors of the wrong be impeached and
punished.
As for any other conflict than that in-
volving the relative jurisdiction of the State
and Federal courts, it can only arise from
the disposition of the Democrats to over-
ride by force the decision of the Eeturning
Board as regards the composition of the
Legislature, The position taken by the
President is plain and right. He is using
the power at his command to aid the law-
fully constituted authority of the State m
the maintenance ^f order. The docu-
ment emanating from Wade Hamp-
ton and his associates is a
tiou of a very stale device.
organize and arrange matters for
the Government of the State by force, and
when Federal troops are called into requisi-
tiou they protest that they are law-abiding,
and that the troops are unnecessary ! The
events of to-day w^ill enabla us co judge
both of the -peaceful professions of the
Democrats and of the probable solution of
the contest, so far as it applies to State
affairs. At this moment, the outlook at
Columbia is sufficiently monacing to justify
Gov. Chamrerlai.v in seeking, and the
President in furnishing, military guarantees
for the preservation of order.

THE CONTROLLERSHIP.
The City of New-York spends, in one way
or other, from fifty to sixty millions a year.
Its financial transactions, therefore, reach
a magnitude equal to the annual average of
half a dozen States, or two or three of the
smaller European kingdoms. The man re-
sponsible for the faithful oversight of this
vast expenditure should have long and
tried experience in public business, as well
as indomitable resolution and sleepless
vigilance. Unless it be the Secretary of the
Treasury, no public servant in the United
States has need of a higher order of admiu-
istrative ability than the Controller of this
City. Indeed, the Federal ollicc is in many
respects a less trying one ; for it involves
far less of tedious drudgery, of ceaseless
attention to minute details, aa -well as to
large operations, aud of exhausting conflict
with a horde of greedy plunderers of all ran !j.s
and classes, who stand ready to take ad-
vantage'of the supiueness or the ignorance
of the custodian of the public purse. A
weak or inexperienced man may do as much
mischief in such a position as a positively
dishonest one. In spite of years of con-
test, there remain in the courts or in the
pockets of claimants, ready to be produced
when the opportunity presents itself, at
least four millions of dollars in nominal
amount of fraudulent claims upon the City
Treasury. These are, one aud all, as rotten
as any swindling voucher of Garvey or
Ingkrsoll ; their sole claim to validity
consists in the certificate of men who have
long occupied the position of convicted
thieves. The beginning of the end of the
Ring came wlien Mr. GRtEX took possession
of the Controller's office, and of all the evi-
dences of knavery which were left for him
to guard. His leaving of the office will
bring joy to every 'uuconvictod scoundrel
who. shared in the plunder of Twked, and
whu stiU chenshcs the hojio of compelling
payment of the fraudulent evidences of in-
debtedness which he saved from the wreck
of the old Tammany edifice of plunder,
Beform was a new and Btranjte ory when
Andrkw H. Green entered the Controller's
office in September, 1871. There were not
so many rascals shoutinar themselves hoarse
over it in those days, because there was
rather more danger than honor to be
earned in the service. Mr. Green has had
the usual luck of the people who
do the fighting and take the hard knocks.
He has seen other easy-going persons who
came in rather later than the eleventh hour,
and who, professing that they were always
consumed with zeal for the cause, succeed
in taking possession of the rewards of
victory. We have too" much faith
in the honesty and intelligence of
the people to suppose tnat Controller
Green's five years' struggle against corrup-
tion, extravagance, and systematized plun-
der have made no lasting impression on the
minds of his fellow-citizens. There is too
urgent a necessity for the services of able
and resolute administrators like him, to
render his probable retirement from public
business anything but a brief one.
But, looked at merely in its immediate re-
sults, what is there in the outcome
of the daUy and almost hourly con-
test which he has waged so long
with the foes of public prosperity and pub-
lic honor to encourage any one to follow in
his footsteps ? The approval of a mind
conscious of weU-doing is something ; the
silent God-speed of that law-abiding and
honor-loving miass of the community to
which our social fabric owes such healthy life
and pure impulses as keep it from rottenness
and decay — that also is not a reward which
a finely-tempered character wiU value
lightly. But, had we such a civic spirit
among us as has made municipahties great
in the past, and such as alone can save
them from hopeless degradation in the fu-
ture, we should hardly have seen with-
out angry protest the displacement
of such a man save to make
way for some one abler or more
worthy, and the experience which
hehas'gatheredfrom every department of
our Municipal activity would have been re-
tained where it could most effectually serve
the public interests. Under any stimulus,
whether of duty or ambition, it may be
doubted whether in this generation another
man will be found ready tS do such work
for New-York as Controller Green
has done. It needed a constitution as
well as a will of iron, and men less firmly
knit physically ana intellectually would
have emerged from it shattered in health
and broken in spirit. Mr. Grkkn has borne
the burden and the heat of the day, and he
will now have the satisfaction of seeing
others* steal the credit of his labors, as
others have already stolen his inst reward
for the vindication of principles in whose
defense he has borne so much of persecution
and abuse. .
What a commentary it is on the influ-
ences which prevail in the Government of
the foremost City of the United States, to
find a coarse and uneducated ward politician,
of dubious antecedents and still mere du-
bious associations, talked of as the favorite
nominee for the position of chief financial
officer of New-York 1 Aud how nauseous an
illustration of the canting insincerity of
certain classes of '* reforfners " to find the
New- York Tribune get down in the dirt to
do homage to the clay idol of the slums that
it announced as ready to be dubbed Con-
troller of the Cityl It is fortunate that
•'the announcement originally made in the
Tribune twelve days ago " was as false as
other announcements made in its
columns a week earlier. But it
suggests the fact that the old slavish
imbecility ot people claiming to be respect-
able, which was the corner-stone of the
power of the old Ring, will not want or-
gans or defenders whenever the natural
sequence of eyents shall present us with a
new organization of knaves in office. Mr.
Jamks 8, Thaybr, who is the actual nomi-
nee for the ControUership, is not per-
sonally so objectionable as Mr. Kelly
would have been. But his experience in
public affairs is of a somewhat limited
order, his strength of character is conspicu-
ous by its absence, and his readiness to be
made the catspaw of Tammany Hall has
been too obvious in ,the past to render
it possible to expect much independence
from him in the future. Though we
have not got Mr. Kelly himself
as Controller, we shall evidently get
no Controller of whom Mr. Kelly does not
approve. That is what the Tammany Alder-
men mean by finding out whether the nomi-
nation is satisfactory to their leaders. So
the Tribune will doubtless find abundant
cause of farther gratitude to the political or-
ganization which lives on the spoils of the
public Treasury ; while the taxipayers will
find equally good reason for further appre-
hension.

SOCIAL INFLUENCES OF
CHURCH CONGRESS.
The Centennial year has brought the
thoughtful citizen to the front, and called
fresh attention to the best and enduring
elements of national life. The property-
owners, the mtelligeat men, the persons who
81 and between conservatism aud radicalism,
the men whose opinions guide the (Tountry,
have spoken at the college anniversaries, in
the Presidential campaign, and as specialists
in social science, but the Episcopal Church
Congress has furnished a new and unex-
pected platform for these discussions, and
its recent session in Boston has shown
what men are ready to do when
beyond the spur of the party whip, and
without the restraint of an impending vote.
This congress is evidently intended spe-
cially as a platform on which intelligent
men may discuss freely the matters of
policy, development, and thought which
concern the Episcopal Church, but "it has
wisely widened its platform to embrace all
which belongs to humanity. The discus-
sions in Boston reached out to topics of
deep interest aud great significance. They
embraced the freedom of religious thought,
the secularity of education, the tem-
perance question, and the morals of politics.
It is nothing new for these topics to be dis-
cussed by religious bodies, but they are
generally in behalf of resolutions which
commit the body to a certain policy. The
congress did not commit the Church to any-
thing whatsoever, and yet very fully repre-
sented the development and status of the
men within the Church who are alive to the
questions of the day. This position of the
congress, whether intended by its pro-
moters" "oc^ not, is its precise point of
usefulneaa ia our social aad nolitioal life.
It is possible for its members to gather up
in their candid utterances oh public affairs,
especially in their consideration of the
higher relations of questions of the state of
social life, the opinions and convictions
which rule the minds of disinterested and
intelligent paen. They have put themselves
on the record, not as specialists and parti-
sans, but as men and as citizens.
This Bonnd influence has been lacking in
our politics and discussions for the general
good. We have depended upon churches,
and the press, and random utterances here
and there, to clear the atmosphere, but the
gentlemen of the Church Congress have
presented the matter in a new light, and
shown the possibility of platform speaking,
by/ men of public position or competent
ability, which does not run off into radical-
ism and pet theories, and which is not
afraid of the free expression of opinion.
Apart from what was said in the Boston
Congress, though each discussion brought
out many points of interest, its influence as
a free platform for civilians and clergymen,
to bring their best thought to bear upon
social, political, and religious ques-
tions, cannot be too highly com-
mended. The more of it the better.
While it may excite surprise in some quar-
ters that the Episcopal Church has broken
loose from the fetters of a too strictly ec-
clesiastical conservatism, the point may well
present itself to other religious bodies,
whether it is altogether wise to bring so
many public matters into their organiza-
tions, and bind them upon men's conscience
by resolutions and votes. Has not this
Church Congress struck out an idea, which,
wisely developed, may introduce a new
feature in American society, by which the
men of thought and experience in private
life may be heard from, and the wise, strong
thought of the educated classes may temper
the radical issues of the hour and again be-
come the controlling element in our social
and political life ?
THE GRASS ROPFRR IN POLITICS.
The' people of Colorado have just
ceased their labor of exterminating the
grasshoppers. Their labors have ceased,
but the grasshoppers have not. The pes-
tiferous insects have gone into Winter
quarters, and the exhausted inhabitants
are planning new campaigns while
they rest. Meantime, as a sort of di-
version from the mor6 serious business
of grasshopper hunting, the citizens
of Colorado have had a political
campaign. As A rule, the loading industry
of the State has been that of the pursuit of
the fiery and untamed " hopper," Means
for his circumvention and destruction have
engaged the minds of the first legal and
scientific persons in the new State, One
eminent savan suggested that the insect
was edible, and that a taste should be culti-
vated for the cooked grasshopper, or locust.
This sanguine scientist contended that a
well-browned " hopper," eaten with bread
and honey, Was a delicious article of food,
and that as soon as this fact became gen-
erally known, the people of Colorado would
rid themselves of the pests as the converted
South Sea chief, disembarrassed himself of
his extra wives — by eating them. Experi-
ments were made, but, notwithstanding the
favorable reports in reference to the fine
nutty flavor and alluring appearance of
grasshoppers fried, roasted, and saut6, the
Coloradans did not take kindly to the
strange food. People never do relish highly
that which is plenty. The Israelites mur-
mured because manna was so cheap, and
demanded to be fed with quail. The supply
of grasshoppers is so far beyond any rea-
sonable demand that the market may said
to be glutted.
Application was made to the Agricultu-
ral Department at Washington for some
kind of grasshopper exterminator. But
t'nat useful institution evaded the issue
and gave out word that it was engaged in
studying the habits of, and mode of trans-
portation employed by, the insidious and
far-flying potato-bug. Since this insect had
begun to devour the bath-houses and beach
at Coney Island, it was thought high time
for a paternal Government to interfere.
Thrown back upon their own resources,
the people of Colorado made this a
local (as well as a locust) ques-
tion. The State election had passed,
and a Senatorial canvass offered a fair op-
portunity for testing the strength of public
opinion on this all-important issue. One of
the candidates accordingly issued an ad-
di'ess in which he declared that if elected
he should advocate the wholesale extermi-
nation of the locust. Heretofore the work
has been conducted on what might be
called a retail basis. The candidate's plan
was to add to the frmctious of the Signal
Service Bureau the duty of watching the
movements of the flocks of locusts which
devastate the face of the country. Hence,
the daily reports would show that
" a light fall of locusts may be expected to-
day in Northern Colorado and Southern
Kansas, with a strong southerly current in
the region of the upper lakes." We should
have the locust centres, the periods of de-
pression and elevation, and the grasshopper
area, added to the enticing literature of the
Weather Bureau. It was proposed by the
same ingenious "aspirant for Senatorial
honors" that Congress should appropriate
$1,000,000 a year to be paid as bounty on
locust scalps, just as the State of Kentucky
once paid bounty on the scalps of wolves.
Of course, this suggests corruption and
collusion on the part of the disbursing offi-
cers, and cannot be seriously entertained.
But a more practical portion of this states-
man's plan was to employ the United States
Army in the slaughter of locusts, and to
exact of the Indians a certain quantity of
locusts in return for their annuities. The
first of these suggestions will receive the
alpproval of our Democratic friends, who
have not yet recovered from the fright
which the Army gave them in 1860 aud
succeeding years. As the departure of 208
soldiers to South Carolina before election
was " an attempt to subvert the liberties
of a free people," and the return of these
208 minions of power after election was
"surrounding the Capitol with an armed
force," we are confident that all good Demo-
crats would hold up both hands for the
Colorado plan. The spectacle of cavalry,
infantry, and artillery charging upon col-
umns of panic-stricken grasshoppers would
certainly disarm the military force of one-
half its accustomed terrors. Even the hys-
terical editor of the World wo«ld admit
that the Army was not being used to pro-
mote CsBsarism while engaged in the slaugh-
ter of grasshoppers.
It is a matter for profound regret that
the Colorado politicians defeated the Sena-
torial candidate who had taken his stand
on the grasshopper. A man who was merely
pledged to civil service reform, resumption '
of specie payments, appropriations for a
navy.yard at Colorado Springs, and other
such trifles, was elected Senator, We have
no doubt that the defeated candidate has
very gloomy views concerning the future of
the new State, It is said that the
farmers of the region are threaten-
ing to emigrate unless something is
done to exterminate the destructive
grasshopper. Various means of accomplish-
ing this purpose have been suggested, the
cheapest and most available being the blow-
ing of horns, beating of gongs, and explosion
of gun-powder whenever a flock of locusts
is seen drawing nigh. If these Chinese tac-
tics were adopted in aU the afflicted States
and Territories, the pests would be diverted
from one locality to another, until, pursued
perpetually by a horrid din, the locust
would nowhere find rest for the sole
of his foot, and so would perish
miserably in the Gulf of Mex-
ico. The suggestion that each locust
be caughti, ^.nd, after being backed under a
pile-driver, be carefully mashed, has been
received in Colorado with much applause.
At present the supply of pfle-drivers is
limited. Congress will be asked tor an ap-
propriation for increasing these means of
destruction.
It 18 very weU. known that the Dem-
ocrats favored the admission of Colo-
rado into the family of States on the sup-
position that the new State wordd give her
three Electoral votes for Tilden. If they
had not been egrogiously fooled in this mat-
ter, the Democracy would not now be raking
the Eepublic with anxiety to find one more
Electoral vote. In a spirit of magnanimity,
we suggest a means of revenge. Let them
refuse to exterminate the Colorado grass-
hopper. It follows, as a matter of course,
that the grasshopper will exterminate the
people of Colorado. The Centennial Stat^
cannot exist half locust and half people.
K left to themselves, the insects will
speedily depopulate the country, already
suspected ol having a smaller number of
citizens than a strict construction of the
law exacts as a condition precedent to ad-
mission. One or two more such years as
1874 will suffice to give Colorado over to
the locusts and the vengeance of the Dem-
ocratic Party.
A REMONSTRANCE.
Of course, Dr. Schliemann is a very nice
man. To the Anglo-Saxon mind his name
does seem to contain more consonants than
a sober, honest citizen really needs, but
hitherto this has been about the only charge
which enmity could bring against him.
He is understood to be an amiable Grerman
gentleman, full of science and blue spec-
tacles ; an enthusiastic, if not an exception-
ally acute, critic of Horace, and a man
powerfully gifted in the discernment of
beer. But Dr. Schliemann is gradually
drawing upon himsell the suspicions of
envious people, while even his best friends
are beginning to find that he is altogether
too successful in the unearthing of buried
cities, and if he does not shortly make a
few judicious archssological mistakes, he
may ultimately find his reputation obscured
by a very unpleasant cloud,
, Dr, Schliem ANN'S first exploit was the
digging up of Troy, He wanted to find the
city of Priam, and the personal property of
that deceased monarch; so he dug with
great diligence until he found exactly what
he wanted. As he would not divide with
the Sultan, he abandoned the rich Troy lead,
and opened a new antiquarian mine at
Olympia, There he mentioned that he in-
tended to find statues, and after a brief
search he "struck it very rich" — as the
Californians phrase it. No statue mine of
equal richness had ever been previously
discovered, and although the vein was soon
exhausted, it was estimated that the Olym-
pian diggings yielded fully sixty percent of
pure marble statues, together with eight
per cent, of valuable terra-cotta vases.
The expert digger's next field of action
was Mycenae; there he found no difficulty
in locating a gold-platter mine, which
proved as rich as the best gold lead of
the Consolidated Troy mine. Gold plates,
and gold spoons and gold soup tureens,
not to speak of such smaller matters
as gold tobacco-stoppers and gold sleeve-
buttons and studs, were daily found by
the indefatigable Schliemann. Why he
abandoned this auriferous mine after a few
weeks' work, we are not informed, but it is
probable that he intended to raise the price
of gold dinner services by temporarily check-
ing the supply. At all events, he ceased
to work the MycensB mine early last Sum-
mer, and having compromised matters with
the Sultan, resumed his labors on the Troy
lead.
We are nows informed that he has just
struck a sort of " pocket " at a sHght dis-
tance from the main Trojan vein, which has
" panned out " wonderfully well. He calls
it the tomb of Cassandra, and announces that
it is full of dinner-plates and belt-buckles
and crimping-pins and breech-loading
rifles, all made of the purest gold, and by
the most skillful workmen of the Homeric
period. He explains, the peculiar richness
of this "pocket" by asserting that Cas-
sandra, the well-known Trojan test-medium,
who gave her patrons information on all
affairs of life, including marriage, sickness,
stolen articles, and absent friends, was
buried with all her portable property about
do for Dr. Schukmakit tobs co ezoep>
tionally suooessful unless he is ready to
incur the gravest suspicioDi that can fall
upon an excavating expert
It might as well be frankly oWned that it
is the opinion of many respectable pewona
thatScHUKMANN conid not find so maay goUl
plates and marble statues aulen he knew
before he began to try exactly what he wm
about to find. With these persons tiie only
question is whether Dr.ScHLl km anh has him-
self sowed antique marble and dinner dishes
in the Plaza of Troy and at Olympia and
Mycen», or whether other persons in coDo-
sion with him, have been guilty of this die-
reputable tnck. The traly chivalrous man
Will hesitate to cluu^ a defenselefls yontig
woman like Cassandra;, or a pair of persoa-
ally reputable moaarchs like the .Kings of
Troy and MycensB, with having detiberate-
ly "salted" their estates with gold and
marble expressly in-order that ScHURKAmr
might snbseqoently be able to claim the dis-
covery of valuable mining property. Tha
theory that Dr. Schlikmann is alone con-
cerned in the affiafr is nudonbtedly the one
that honorable men will prefer to adopt,
provided, of course, they think it necessary
to differ from Schlievank'js own acconnt oi
the matter. . - i^i:-
It will, however, be wiser and more joal
to give to Dr.ScHLiEMAWN the benefit of every
possible doubt. The talent of discovvring
bnried cities may be a genuine one, and ka -
may deserve our warmest admiration and
gratitude. Still a ytopet regard for his
reputation onght to lead faim to panae in fais
snccesstnl career, and to abMidon his inten-
tion of finding Helen's body in s perfect
state of preservation,, and the origintd love-
letters written by Paris and intercepted by
Agamemnon's private detective. He is
already finding altogether too much, and
there is a limit to the patience of the pnblic.^
If he will only fail to find a few such cities
during the next six months, public confi-
dence will revive, but if he goes on as he has
begun, he may earn the unenviable fame of
the men who discovered the fiEtmous diamond
and ruby mines of Arizona, and who were
afterward themselves discovered by unscien-
tific policemen.

from the speeches of Lord Beaconsfield, especially

LONDON, Nov. 27. — The Mark Lane Express,
in its weekly review of the British corn trade, says :
'• The seedling wheat plant, in consequence of so far
favorable weather, still preserves a healthy appear-
ance. There has been no further spread of the po-
tato disease in Ireland. The crop, though doubtless
suffering from blight in some districts, has not. on the
whole, been affected to any alarming extent. The
present aspect of trade appears suflBciently strong
to justify fanners in holding back wheat as long as
possible. A continuance of the meagre supplies of
home grown grain, both in London and country
markets, indicates expectation of an advance. Eng-
hsh wheat on Saturday advanced a shilling to two
shillings per quarter at a maiority of
provincial markets, but growers showed
little inclination to part even at that
improvement, while in Mark Lane the few samples
offering on Monday fetched fully previous prices.
The local trade, dnnng the temporary lull in politi-
cal a)0^rs, has regainedits natural balance.a healthy
tone prevailius, althonxh Duainess bas not been
brisk. This, however, can scarcely be expected
when Imports are being daily added to by the nu-
merous arrivals from porta which are ice-bound dur-
ing the Winter. The week's imports have been thns
swollen by numerous arrivals of Kassian wheat,
while the quantity on passage has also increased,
there being now about 2,000,000 quarters afloat
Shipments from California account for this
inarease. The supply trom all other usual sources
shows a diminution compared with the correspond-
ing period Tast year. The enormous crop on the
Pacific slope has been the single great exception to
the general rule of a short harvest. If the United
Kingdom Is its ultimate destination apprehensions
dS to future prices might be iuatly entertained.
The Continental demand may relieve us of a
considerable quantity. Maize in London has
recovered its late depression, an advance of about
sixpence having been realized on account of the
Continental demand. Several cargoes off the coast
"have been taken for Continental ports, especially
Bremen, at hiener prices than United Elinedom
payers were at first willing to pay, although they
subsequently had to allow the advance. There have
been few arrivals of wheat cargoes at porta of call,
and a limited bnsiness at firm prices.
London, Nov. 28. — One million dollars in Ameri-
can eagles were withdrawn from Bank yesterday
for shipment to New-York.
Havana, Nov. 27. — Cane-grinding was com-
menced Nov, 15 on aeveral sugar estates, but met
with poor resnhs. The cane was found to be nn-
seasoned in consequence of long drouth. Since
thee, however, rain has been abundant, and many
planters will begin grinding witbin a fortnight.
Contracts for future delivery ot the new crop are
reported to have been closed at the ontports at 7^
©7^4 reals, gold, for fair to good refloing Muscova-
do, and 11 reals, gold, for Centrifugals, fhe amoont
sold aggregating 4,000 hogsheads. The prospects of
the coming tobacco crop are, so far, favorable.

edged the English debt, and it is reported they
have negotiated a further loan of 81,000,000,

AMUSEMENTS.
DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
PARK THEATRE.
Miss Lotta entered upon a tern weeks' en-
gagement at tbe Park Theatre, yesterday evening,
gome years have gone by since this comical little
personage last performed in this city, but the
flight of time has not changed the yonthfulness of
her looks or lessened the vivacity of her manner.
To tbese tw* attributes must the lareer
part of tbe actress' success be'asoribed. The pablio
fancy thev behold a wonderfully clever child, and
her mischief amnses the spectator, lust as the an-
tics of a precoolons baby would enliven him for an
hour or so. The methods by which , Miss Lotta
delights her audiences are familiar. Her small and
bright face, as restless as the sea, is
in Itself an entertaining sight.— for a tew minutes,
at all events — and the bird-like poses of her bead
with which she accents many of her short speeches,
and tbe grace and el«quenoe with which her leg
now and then does duty for her arm in point-
ing a sentence, are her ' principal arts.
They were freely drawn upon last night,
and their effect was potent. The piece
in which Miss Lotta appeared was as well suited to
the exhibition of het talent as the other pieces in
her r6oertoire, if we recollect them aright. "Mu-
sette" is a melodrama from tbe pen of Mr. Freder-
ick Marsden. It includes a number of scenes
wherein Miss Lotta has plenty to do, and, what is
of slighter moment, a commonplace and dismal story
of crime which it were a waste of space to re-
hearse in these columns. "Musette," In fact,
stands and falls with Miss Lotta, and was
clearly written with no other purpose. Miss
Lotta's share of the proceediiigs is liberal,
and her acting, if we can with justice apply tbat
totm to her transactions in this particular play, af-
forded genuine pleasure. We wish, to be sure, that
there were a triQe less slang in "Musette," some
portions of which remind one of the impromptu
dialogues between Messrs. Birch and Backus,
and we gro iv weary, occasionally, of the bad gram-
mar which is supposed to be a necessary element
of most of the personages the little lady portrays.
But tbese considerations had no weight, yesterdsy,
with Miss Lotta's hearers, and, as her
popn'arity has endured for years without
resting upon any very strong iri;ound8, we are not
inclined to seek causes for it at so advanced a stage
of her career. Tbe character called Musette, which
she now assumes, is tbat of a romping girl, fail
of mischief and of comic sentiment, which
is developed in ber love-passages with tbe
juvenile BoJnis. The flirtation between the two is
certainly very droll, and their song and dance was
provocative of so much satisfaction that it had to
be repeated thrice. "Musette" is, in other
respects, neatly performed. Mr. J. "W, Carroll
personates with aignlty and force Sir Hugh Tracy,
Mr. Whiffla is suitably awkward as BoJcuf, Mr.
Belvil Ryan pictures an aged ruffian named Timothy
Titus, and Messrs. P. A Anderson, T. E. Morris
and Misses Annie Edmundeon and Sara Stevens
and Mrs. D. B. Vanderen fill acceptably the remain-
ing rdles. The piece is handsomely set.
LYCEUM THEATRE.
Last night Mr. Edwin Booth began the sec-
ond week 0^' his engaeement at this theatre in Tom
Taylor's drama of "The Fool's Revenge." Mr.
Booth's performance in this play is well known to
Metropolitan audiences, and his Bertuceio has been
more than once deals with in these columns.
It is now somewhat more than four years
since ne last appeared in the rdle of the Duke's
Jester in this City, and. If we are to judge by his
labors last evening, bis characterization. If it has
changed at all in tbe interval, has gained strength
in those elements for which it bas lone
l^een distingnished. Many among the artist's
admirers do not hesitate to declare Bertuceio his
greatest part, and, in our jud|;nient, few of those
who witnessed his latest effort in Mr. Taylor's
play would care to dispute the awaid. Mr. Booth's
portrayal of the fierce hatred, tha fearful thirst
for revenge, and the overmastering love of the
father for his child, brines into play all the qualities
-for which he bas lone been famous. His iutensltj
ot passion and his power of sudden tranaition from
one extreme of emotion to the other, have full
scope in a drama the climax of which is terrible be-
yond parallel, and bis powers, as we have hinted
above, have certainly not fallen oflE. The
scathing irony, the dread earnestness, and tbe
deep and touching pathos of the character are
painted with arealiam which is tbe actor's own, and
which, in our day, at least, Is hardly likely to find a
more farcible exposition. Mr. Booth's, greeting last
evening, was warm and appreciative, and
he was four times called before the curtain.
The play was carefuUy placed upon the stage and
the cast was generally good, Mr. Frederick Eobiu-
aon's Del Aquilla being noticeably excellent. " The
Fool's Revenge" may be witnessed every nisbt
during the week. On Thursday afternoon at 1:30
Mr. Booth will appear as Claude Melnotte, and at
the Saturday matin6e he is to act in "The Stranger."
CONCERTS AT THE ACADEMY.
The first of Mr. Morrissey's three concerts at
the Academy of Music took place last evening. It
is a long while since so many popular artists have
been brought together, and, hence, it is pre-
sumable tbat the present series of entertainments
will be successful. Yesterday Mr. Thomas' orches-
tra, Signer Brignali and Mr. Fritsch, Miss Thursby
and Miss Drasdil, and Mmes. Carre&o-
Sauret and Schiller were concerned in
the entertainment. Mr. Thomas' forces
interpreted, among other good things, some new
and very oharacteristio baUet-muslc by Tschai-
kowsky; Miss Thursby sang neatly Proch's "Air
et Variations," and Signer Bngnoli contributed
"Then you'll remember me," in English. The
programme was rich in interesting material,
but it was not made up with as much Judgment a»
could have been wished. To-morrow's selections,
of which the third act of •'Lohengrin," with Mme.
Gulager, will be a part, are more promising in an
arlislio sense.

GOTu HAYES' ANCESTORS.
HIS GRANDiFATHER BURIED IN SARATOGA.
Ftom The Saratogian, Nov. 25.
In the old cemetery on North Nelson street,
is a grave which at this time gathers about it more
than the usual general interest which attaches to
this time-honored and bush-grown burial place. It
la in tbe north part of the ground three or four
rods from tbe fence and about the same distance
east of the high embankment which overlooHs the
street and the valley! The mound of earth is appa-
rent though the grave is overgrown \tith rank
grass, now prostrated by the Autumn frosts. The
heaustoue is about eighteen inches high by a little
more than a foot wide, aod oval on top. On its face
is the following inscription chiseled in the memo-
rial style ot three quarters of a century ago :

The line, "his age" is hidden from view by the
earth and the grass, the roots of the latter being so
firmly set as to render it difficult to remove them

srorm. The remains tbere buried are said, by one
who claims to know the family history, to be the
erandfailier of Rutherford Birchard Hayes, Gov-
ernor of Ohio and President-elect of the United

LOSSES BY FIRE.
SBVBRAL BUILDINGS DESTROTRD IN CHI-
CAGO AND FOUR LIVES LOST.
A fire, at an earl.y hour yesterday morning,
destroyed a number of frame saloons and eating
houses on West Madison street, near Canal, Chica-
go. The loss is estimated at $10,000 ; insurance
small. After the Are it was ascertained that four
persons had perished in the flames. They were
inmates of the house No. 23, which was occupied as
a restuarant, which was kept open all night, owned
by Henry Cockrell. The names of the victims
were, Emma Burt, Agnes Healv, George Bode, and
•Tames Allen. Their charred remains were taken
from the ruins this afternoon. It was evident that
thev were overcame by the flames while attempt-
ing to escape through a long hall- way which com-
municated with stairs tbat had been Ourn ed away.
Allen was a tailor, and had gone to Chicago two
weeks ago trom Btstoo, where he leaves a wife and
chidren. But for the energy and daring ol Capt,
Benjamin 0. Bullwinkle, of the Fire Patrol tbe loss
ot life would have been much greater.
OKN. WADE HAMP ion's HOME DESTROYED.
Gen, Wade Hampton's home, three miles
from Columbia, S. C, was burned on Friday last.
Duting the night tbe flames burst simultaneously
from " all parts of the building, and
the General's two Bisters., and two young
sons had only time to escape with their
liyes. The library, articles of verlu saved from
the hre of 18G5, when Hampton's father's house was
burned at tbe same time as his own, silver and
clothing were all burned. Tbe ladies escaped, sav-
ing only their clothing, and Gen. Hampton has not
a single article of clothing except those which he
wears. The only article saved was a bust of Gen.
Waoe Hampton of Berolutionary fame. There is
no insurance on the property. Gen. Hampton
lodged in this city by accident on the night of the
fire.
OTHER FIRES.
The loss by the fire which occurred on Sun-
day night at Belmont aveniie, near the stock-yards
of the late Exhibition, Philadelphia, amsuncs to
11,000. The stock-yards are situated about a
quarter of a milr. from the main Exhibition grounds.
Wben the flames reached' a small structure belong-
ing to the Centennial Commission, which Jiad been
used as closets for the yards, two explosions of
gunpowder occurred, badiy shattering the building.
The fire is supposed to have been the work of an
incendiary.
John Q. Maze's saw-mill in Dover, N. J., was
destroyed by fire Siinday evening, cousing a loiss of
$3,000-. The fire was evidently of incendiary origin,
as there had been no fire in the milt for several
days. There was no Insurance.
The dwelling of R. D. Rublee, at North
Evansbnrg Falls, Vt., was burned on Sunday night.
Loss $2,500 ; partijllv insured.
A bahi filled with timber, ewned by Mr.
Bartlett, at Freeport, Me., was burned yesterday.

THE BRITISH ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
COMMENTS OF THE LONDON PRESS— THE
RESULTS NOT SO SATISFACTORY AS
FIRST CliAIMED — THE PLtJCK OF AMER-
ICANS APPEALED TO.
The London newspaper writers, having re-
covered from their first surprise over the unex-
pected retvirn of the Arctic expedition, are begin-
ning to express their dissatisfaction with the results
achieved. The following editorial extracts are
taken from papers of the 16th inst. :
"That the effasiveneas with wl ich the Arctic
expedition was received on its first arrival would
last long was not to be expected. K Capt. Nates
and his gallant officers expected that their facts, and
their deductions from these facts, and even their ex-
ertion*, were to be free trom criticism, they were not
onlymistal^en. buc little understood their tiwn inter-
ests. They have done well— as well as could be ex-
peoted^but, at the same time, those qnalfled to
judge cannot always alldw that thpy have been
sound in the inferences they have drawn from the
data they gathered on their Northern voyage.
Smith's Sound is, however, except from books, aterro
incognita to mi >st Englishmen. It is not so, however,
to Americans. £.ane, Hayes, and Hall selected it
as tbe scene if tnelr Arctic exploit?, and were
much more familiar with it than any English navi-
gator. Hall died m Smith's Souud.'and Kane of a
broken constitution, due to his bardsbips on the
same battliug-ground. But Dr. Hayes, who was
not only tbe Surgeon of Kane's expedition, but the
commauder of, the United States expedition in
1861, is still livliig. * * «
Dr. Kae, a celebrated Arctic explorer, also de-
clares that 72° below zero haa often been observed at
Great Bear Like, and that at Jakutz, in Siberi.i,
even 76° below zero has been recorded. The Cana-
dian papers make merry over Capt. Njres Hn-
nounciug that his expedition expeiienosd the
greatest cold on record. Even 72° below zero are
said to have been known m the luxurious City of
Montreal I The point where the expedition discov-
ered the most Northern trace of Esquimaux, Dr.
Hayes indignantly announces no discovery. Fifteen
years ago he ulsosaw the same traces. * * *
We have not the slightest doubt that the facts
in possession of the English expedition are of such
a nature as will not only enable tha leaders to sup-
port their original assertions, but to triumphantly de-
fdud themselves against the discourteous stiic.tures
of Hayes and others. It nTasc also be rememboied
that, however severe they are, they are only founded
on the telegram of Caot. Nare^ In his ufliuial re-
port he d«liberatelv, with, we think, doubttul taste,
attacks Kane, Hayes, and Hall, anu rather tries to
depreoate,,[he results achieved by them. When this
document is received in New-Tork, it will no
doubt be greeted, with such a tornado of abuse as
probably no document emanating from the English
Admiralty ever was.
We are in a position to state that a meeting of
■private Arctic explorers will be held at an early
date to consider the state of matters brought about
by the failure of the expedition under Capt. Nares.
These gentlemen, who comprise some of the most
distingnisbed English yachtsmen and Arctic
navigators, are far from satisfied with the
results achieved, and, as already a move-
ment is in progress in America to organize another
expedition to Smith's Sound, the question now to
be considered is how we are to save our glory from
being eclipsed by another nation. The Government
have apparently made up their minds that English
expeditions via Smith's Sound have come to an
end. It remains, therefore, for private individuals
who still believe in that route to devise ways and
means to carry their ideas into efi'ect.
In the midst of all these daugeis, with tbe goal
right ahead and time evcrvthiug, one cannot but
be a little surprised to read ot excursions up Hayes
bound, Peterman Fiord, Laay Franklin Sound,
and other inle,t8. This senso of inconsistency
amounts almost to a feeling of disappoint-
ment when one considers the very humble
place occupied by the direct march on the Pole
compared with the expl vrations of the Amonciu
and Greenland ceasts. * * * It is to be hoped
Capt. Nares and his comrades have not been carried
away by an excess of patriotic Jaalousy, f.jr they
have positively floated awdv''and sunk to the bottom
of the sea cf ancient ice a whole concinent of capes,
bays, mounts, and lands carefully surveyed and
firmly believed in by American discoverers. * * *
if the Americans are the men we take them to be,
thev will not rest till they have raised their land
again from the bottom of the sea, and also got a good
deal neaier the Pole than our people
have done. * "• * It is impossible not
to see in tbe results, as also in the narra-
tives of the exoedition, that the failure of the
chief object was a foregone oouclasion, not only in
the critical mind of tne Admiralty, but even in the
minds of the officers themselves. They wanted
another Arctic expedirion, and were well awaie
that the British public would not care very much
about the exact conformation of the northern coast
of America. Its memory is already 'Overcharged
with aconiinent thatcauuoi be inhabited and rivers
tbat will rot ever flow. It does not want an
American Siberia. The Arctic 'fauna and tbe
Arctic flora are not the most attractive. There is
wanted, then, some good produoihle reason for au
Arctic expedition. It was found in the recent
theones ef an Arctic habitable land, an Arctioopeu
sea. They we're plausible, and a North Pole is au
intelligible idea. Hence, an expedition to the North
Pole which has done everything but got theie.
STOLEN GOODS BUOOVERFD.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock, Cant.
Murray, of the Fourth Police Precinct, received in-
formation that a very suspicious-looking box had
been taken to the house No. 58 James street, kept
by one Mary Varley, an alleged receiver of stolen
goods. The Captain thereupon made a raid upon
the premises, aided by Detective ilnsgrove and
and a squad of policemen. Finding the doors
Ol the house fastened, the cliicera forced an
entrance through the rear windows, and after a
careful search they succeeded iu finding a number
of secret close:s, in which were stored a lar;je
quantity of miscellaneous goods, consisting of silks,
rolls of flannel clotb, shawls, fancy buttons, opera-
glasses, balls of twiuo, tohacco, axes, shovels, and
numerous other articles, all valued at about $2,000.
The property was taken to the Fourth Precinct
Station-house, where it awaits owners. The
woman-Farley could not he touud.
FRENCH trad:: returns.
According to official returns published Nov.
15, the value of French iiuportations during the
first ten months of the pre-ient year amounted to
3,189,000,000 francs, against 2,920,000,000 for the cor-
responding period of 1875. The increase occurred
chiefly in alimentary products, wh^ch amounted to
745,000,000, against 598.000,000 in 1675 ; raw
material tor manutactunng purposes 1,873,000,000
acainst 1.800,000,000 in 1875, and m.iniiractured arti-

THE COURTS AND THE VOTES.
Tbe Hartford (Conn.) Cowrant aaysj "A case
somewhat similar to that In South Carolina oconrred
in this State a few years ago. A student of Yale

tion was made to the Superior Court for a man-
damus to compel the board to reverse its decision
and admit the applicant. It was made a test case,
and elakorately argued for both sides. The court
decided that the board for admitting alectors was a
distinct executive body, organized under tbe laws
ot the State, and tbat the court bad no power to in-
terfere with its action."
A SUDDEN LAND-FALL.
The Sheboygan (Wis.) News says: "We
casually noticed the sudden sinking of some two
acres of land sixty feet below the surface (>f the
earth the week previous, af^what is known as
Kemper's Pier. The point at which this strange
rupture took place is in the town of Mequon, iMs
county, and the make of the ground previous to the
sinking, indicated tbat there had been a land-slide
many years ago, as there was a considerable piece
of land lying shelving toward the lake, ana upon it
bad grown large trees and other vegetation. Here
Mr. Kemper had built a pier, a dwelling-house,
fixed h'.m a brick-yard, built fences, &c. One day,
when bis wile was pulling up cabbages, suddenly
she heard a roaring and rumbling, saw the earth
cracking and sinking graduflly near to and far be-
yond bar, and verily thought it an earthquake
or the day of judgment. Gradually the earth went
down, down to the depth of sixty feet, two acres,
all iu pretty good oraer, with trees, fences, and
everything upou it standing tbe same as it had
stood for years before. But, suddenly, as if by
magic, up rose a fnll-flsdged and stately island,
about seventeen feet high, immediately outside the
sunken lund and independent of it. Tbe land com-
posing this island was not earth shoved out by torce
of tbe sinking laud, but stands there bolt uuright,
' monarch of all it surveys.' Ic is clay soil, and
Lake Michigan is whaling away against its square
banks, and soon it will be among the things that
were. There is another strange thing connected
with this phenomenon : Mr. Kemper has a well,
bricked up, and about forty-three feet deep, which
as soon as the laud sunk, filled to the bnm with
good cold water. So the owner now has forty-three
feet of good water, instead otan ordinary well. Mr.
Kemper bad to remove his dwelling-house."

In order to Obtain tbe requisite JaeiUtMw. tt iirlS be

Inasmuch as the Government bas, bv act of Cojk

<fight to take the poles, wirej. and apparatus of the

that right, pay more than tbe cost of duplicating ttab

In order, therefore, to enable ns to form an idea aato
the actual value of the property of Weatom Union,
and the amonnt which the stOclcholder* wonid l>e llk«

It contains very (Irtle of the laeormntion oeceanuT
to convey an intelhgent idea regarding the con<iltloa
of the ComiKny and its business; there is no general
balance sheet, such as coroorationa almost invariably'
give in their annu=»l reports: no detailed statement
showing the Bonrceg from which tha gross receipt*
were derived; no detaile'i statement of expense < ; no
statement whatever in re^aira to tbe number of mUe>
of leased lines, the rentals paid therefor, nor anytbtng
to indicate whether thegross receiots aod expenses ot
leased lines are included In amount gtv«n m tberrport,
nor whether the statement ot expenses inclodea th«
rentals of such leased lines:

Since that date, 1866, the company bare purcluaed,
and now have in their treasury, 72,722 shares, costimi
$4,054,407, or about $S6 per share.
Thereoort furnishes sufficient data for eiUmating
the probable cOot of duplicating existing linea
On Dt^e 5 It Is stated tbat there vrere in operatitm
at the close of the year encUng June 30, 1876,
73,532 miles ot line, 183,832 mills of wire,- ^nd 7,072
offices.
The present cost of constraetioa per mile of line U
about $130, sub-divided as foUows :
Wire, 330 a. per mile, at 7c- $23 10
Insulators, 3j, at 18c 6 30
Poles, 35, at$l 50 „ 5*.i 5U
Labor and freleht 48 IU
Total $130 tO
On this basis the probable cost of duplicaDbg tb'
existing lines would be about as follows :
73,532 miles of line with sin^^ie wje. at "*
^ $13l> per mile , $9,559,168
1 lO.aoO miles of extra wire, with insula-
lators and labor, SSI 3,419,300
10,000 instruniftnts and apparatus 50U,UiM
NevT buildi:<e on Broadway, present value,
say 1.20a,000
Total $14,678,460
It should be borne iu luind tbat the existing lines ol
the Western Union must be in a more or less depre-
ciated condition as compared with entirely new lines.
In addition to tbe above, the company report the fat

On page 17 of the report the outstanding caoi&l

stated as followe:
Capital stock $33,901,175
Bonded debt 6.33^J19
ToUl $4o7l33,*.f94
Now, if the Government, in the exercise of its ngbt,
should take possession ot the existing hues, it is very
evident they would not pay more than $15,009,000*
because t bey could probably buUd liaj^ of their own
for that sum.
After deducting the bonded debt, 56,332,119. th«
comcauy would have about $9.01X),000 remaining,
which, with tbe proceeds of the other assete men-
tioned above, would represent the property of tha
company, subject, of course, to any liabilities occa-
sioned by the contracts of lease with other telegraph
companies, of certain lines now operated by the
Western Union. CHARLES BARRETT.

•Memblad In the City iHaU. yeaterday, attracted,
apparently, by the annoaxioemeat that, despite the
aileged lesal obstacles in tlie way, Mayor Wickham
woaid nominate tbeir leaSer, Mr. John Eelly, for
^e Controllerabip. Tho> piresence of Mr. £elly'a
tfijonds amonir the oonooarae waa rei^ardea as a
tin^l.J, proof tliat he was to be appointed to sac-
eee<l Mr. Green, and that he woald enter upon hi»
cfflclal duties t<vday. Jhls appeared to be the be-
^. lief of the oelebritieu who are suoposed to form.
Iii« "cabinet," and wb 9 remamed tofcetherfor sev-
etfi honrs In one of the Monloipal committee-
rooms, all awaiting ths moment when the Alder-
men would meet to receive' Mr. Eally's nomination.
'Xlieae gentlemen did anr ^unoact of whispering.
Got. Donkp had at one time tha ear of Mr. Edward
Gabe, and both were sabseqne^tly engaged in con-
versation with Corporation Ai^mayBoyd. What-
ever mystery may have surr'Onnded their move-
ments, they were not at all in doulSt abont who was.
th% Mayor's obpiee for Contniller — they felt aa-
anred that Mr. Kelly was the man. No doubt
whatever swat expressed oo that subject.
At 2 o'clock, the time appointed for the meeting
of the Aldermen, alt these ,voUticians became un-
easy, and their uneasiuess wivs succeeded by appre-
beasions as the miaates roiled on. A little later a
Kloomy-lookiug mestengei^ who had jast left the
M.iyor's office, appeared among them and asserted
that the Mayer had actually nominated Mr. James
B. Thayer for the ofiioe, and not Mr. Kelly. This
Boexpaeted news having been confirmed, the Dem-
ocratic Aldermen held a oauons in order to decide
what skoola be done under the circumstances. It
Waa proposed to reject Mr. Thayer at once ; bat one
»f the City Fathers aaggested that it wmild be bet-
ted for them to lay the n£uue over until they ascer-
tsined wlMther the nominee was i\ooeDtabIe to their
biders. This advice prevailed, and Mr. Seery was
iannointed to carry it out by a motivvn of the Board.
Tha.Aldermsn then proceeded to ^heir cliambeiy

tejjtcd trom the power ot nomination aad appuintmeot
pvea to the iiajor bv tiiia charter, there is aneniire
)midoiou to proride for flUing these offices after the
terms ol' tbe existinit inaontbsnts expire. A? the in-
:uuil>eats of these offices retain them, after the expirar-
ii)ii ol their terms, until successors are appointed, the
eHeet and tbe apparent intent ot this statute, m that
'«i«w of it, »«»umiQK that uo further legislation was
bad. would be to continue tbe incumbcnis in office iu-
jetiuitely. notwithstandmjr the expiration ot their

ftil permanently excepted from this power of appoint-
ueut, then, m case of tbe death, removal, or re&igiia-
tjr.u of the incumbent of eltber of these offices, it
Oiiisc remain v;icant pezmacentty. Uoless a constrnc-
tiou iuvol-ving th se consequences is inevitable, it will
icarcely D« adopted.
The charter of 18 TS was intended to legislate out of
office coKain officers and to retain others, and to coa-
ler upon tbe Slayor, with the consent of tbe Aldermen,
Ihe power to appoint succeasors to tho^e who were
remored oy the act, and also, tjeneraliy, the power of
apuoiutmeut to office.
The one hundred and seventeenth and twenty-fifth
■ectii.ns together effect this object. The offices and
officers who are saved and excepted from the power of
•ppoiutment giveo by the twenty-flftb section are ex-
cepied from the regaovals accomplished by the one
bon.ired and aeventeentb section.
Iha twcnt.y-nith section evidently Intends to confer
Bpon the Mayor, with the consent of the Aldermen,
the pownrof apDolotingall LOmmlssioatrs and heads of
departments, whciher their offices are vacated by the
terms ot that act or sbouid afterward become vacant,
*»Te only in tbe case of tbe holders of offices wbich
were exuressly excepted. It wodld oe reasonable to
e:t:veet thai vrhere such an exception was made some
other method of filling a vacancy in the office would
te provided.
Tue puwer of appointment in this twenty-fifth «iec-
Uua U suoject to two classes of exceptions. Tne first
is the Coiuuiiasioners of PubUc Instruciioa. The lau-
sxtaga of the section in this particular is that tae
Ua^oT shall Dominate, and with the couBcnt of the
Board of Aldermen api.oint, all Commissioners save
Lommissionera ot Puoiic instrustiou. It is plain that
CO power of nomination or appointmem of^the Com-
Diissioners of Public Instmcuoc, or any officers cor-
responding to them, was preserved or jaioato the
Jttayor aodAldermeu. A compariBOU of other legisla-
lion of tue aamo sessluu explalua the reasoa for
*bia, and sbows how the ca»e of these olHcers
Is provided for. By^ chapter 112 of Ih73, passed
ilaich 21. before the Charter, the common
aehools were reorgauized. 'Ike Commissioners
Were styled Commissioners of Public lichools, and were
■to be ai>pointe(l by the ilayor alone. The school sys-
tem o; toe City waa orsanized as a separate system,
accordinsly. in the charter of 1873, tbe Bepartment
9J f-nblic Instruction was no longer continued a^ one of
the braucbejoi departme:)t3 of the City Government
»s it bad been under prerious charters. It ceased to
be part of the t ity Government under the charter, and
became an li'istitution by Itself. Hence, the scheme o<
fliliua vacancies in <-ity office?, established by section
iiit oi the cnaiter ol 1873. properb' excepted the Com-
ujiBsioncrs of i^blic Schools and it la mauifeat that
this exci-ption was iutended to apply not only to the
then iricambencs. but to the office.
But the .';ext excepiion te tbe MaFOr's power of nom-
Inatiuu and appointment isdifi'.-rent in tne terms used
anil iu its reason and desiijn. This part of the sectioii
xeado, "and also save and except tne folloniun-named
CommiSKioBerd and officers who hela office as suoli on
tbe Ist uay oi Jauuar.y, 1873^-the Controller. tUeCom-
mtiSioner of Pub ic Works, the Counsel to^ ti.e Corpo-
ration, the President of the liepartment of Puulic
ParUa. and the President of the Department of Police."
Tne fiesident of cbe Park Commissiou and the Presi-
dent of tbe Police Commission were not appointed to
he Pri sideots of these imdioi by the Mayor under the
^rmer charter, but slinply to i'e Commissioners
Jike the other membeis of these boards, and were
elected to oe Presidents ot these bodies by tbe
TcsoectiTe bcardd. Tiit-se detijjnatlons ot Com-
.inwsiouers who were not to be legislated out of
<,mre by the cnarier of 1873. and to whom successors
Were nut to be within twenty days nominated by tbe
Xayor, were, tbereiore, personal descriptions. The
effect of the act in respect to tht< Parl£ and Police De-
pa. tments is this: all the Commissioneri then la
office iu these departments are removed, and suc-
cessors are to be at once appointed b.y the Mnyor,
WKb the consent of the Aldermen, except the Com-
missioner of Parts, who had beeu elected President ,f
that board, and the Commiasloiicr of Police, who bad
been elecied I'realdeat of that board. These two indi-
viduals obunld hold their offices as Commissiouers un-
til taeir terms expired. It aeems very piain that this
is li provision for tbe benefit and retention of the per-
liuus who then held these* oilioes, and not desinned to
exclude the jjeneral appoiutins power from tlUinir ihe
offices of Commiasiouers oi Police and Parks, then
liCiUby the CuinmisaiOMers who had been chosen Presi-
dents of tliose respective departmeuts at tbe expira-
tion of their terms, Of W hen they iu any way become
vacant.
1 eaunot feel any serious doubt that the same con-
Utraction Is to be given to the exception of the Con-
troller and Coryoratiun Counsel, trom the efleet of the
''- Ii9thaad2utb sections.' It seems very clear to me
that this exception apolies only to the then tncum-
beiits of those o£^ces during their exiotiag terms of
office, and not to any subsequent vacancy in the
offices by removal, reslijnation, or expiratiou of the
term of office. Uwitlbeaumitled that the power ofiiom-
Inatiuu ami appointment to these offices, in common
ivitta all heads of ilepartments, is given to the ilayor,
1 with tbe consent of the Aidermeu, unless these offices
are expreanly excep'.ed out of the scheme of the en-
, tire act It is peitmenl to observe that no reason
can be perceived tor snch an eiception
from the scheme of appointment provided by tbe
Cl.artcr of all tbe offices whose Incumbents are men-
tioned ill the 2jth Kectioii. Uii the other hand, a pur-
pose cair b« discovered of retaining in olSce the par-
ticular incttmbonts of these offlc.B at that time until
their ti rms should expire. And it may also be re-
peated, tnat If the power to lili vacancies at the ei-
Iiixatlon of the terms ol these ratslued officers be not;
ipven to The aea.-ral aupotutlu:; power Ueslguated bv
the charter, then the Legislature has committed a
▼cry jjrave and remarkablo omisslou, or baa intended
to Keep these officials iu place not only duriuir tbelr
exTstiiiit term, but inaeflniiely afterward. Neither
Intention will unnecessarily bo imputed to tho LckIs-
latnre.
but the intention •f the Legislature to confine this
provi-Mion to the then luoumuents ot these offices, and
pot Kj e.xeiupt tbe offices permanently, or to leave
them without provision for eubse^uent v'acsncleB,seema
plain ttova the act itself. The lancruage of the excep-
tion ii, except the following Commiasloners and
officers whb held office as auoh Jan. I, 1873, and the
section proceeds : "Which said Cont -oiler, Commis-
siooers, and Counsel to the Corporation shall hold
their reapeotlveofflcos until the expiration of their
respective terms of office for which they were ap-
pointed.'' The effect of this provision, with the snbac-
quent section lltf, is to retain the persons then holding
these specified offices in piaee until the end of their
eziating terms, and nothing more. If fs a provision
affecting these officers, and not their offices. When a
vaoano.y occnro in anv of the offices named in this sec-
tion, whose then occupants were not removed bv the
charter of 1873. either by the subsequent removal,
resignation, death or expltatiou of the term of the
officers thus continued, I am of opinion that the Ma.yor
has power to nominate, and either «vith or without tho
consent of thf> Common Councll,as case the may bo, to
adpoint a person to fill the office. I am ot opinion that
wtienin novemherand December next the terms of
office of tho present Controller and Corporation
Counsel will expire, the Mavor may nominate, and
with the consent of the Board of Aldermen apooint,
persons to fill each of these offices, and that the
present incumbents can only hold over alter the ful-
fillment of their present terms until their euccessors
■hill be so nominated and confirmed.
It may not be inappropriate to add that this con-
itruction of the charter has been acted upon in sev-
eriU importfint In.stanses, with the assent, it is under-
stood, of all departments of the City Government. In
May, 1874, Mayor Havemeyer appointed Mr Disbeolier
Police Commissioner, in place of Henry Smith, de-
cea.sed, who was the Presiaent of the Po:lce Depart-
ment, excepted in section 25 of the charter of 1873.
In December, 1875 Mayor Wickham appointed DeW. C
•v heeler, CoLjmlssioner of Pclioe in place of Mr. Dis-
•becker who had been removed. Both of thei*e
appointmeuta were to the comnilssloner»hip
held by President Smith at the time
lOf the passage of the charter of 1 873, and each was to
continue for the unexpirea residue of hla orl!?inalterm.
In 1876, Mayor Wickham apuoiuted yitzJohn Porter
Commisaiouer of Public Works iu place of George N.
Van Nort, resisiicd, who was the Coinmissionetot' Pub-
lic Works, excepted in section 25, iof the charter of
1873. This app tntment waa by 'he M yor alone, and
for the uii(<xpired residue of Mr. Van Nort's term. At
the end of the term of the Commissioner of Public
Works tons filled, Mayor Vviokhnm nominated,
and the Board of Aldermen confirmed, the pres-
ent incumbent of the office of Commissioner of
TubUc Works, Mr. Allan CampboU. The present Cor-
poration Counsel holds his office by appointment of
the Mayor for the unexpired term of E. Delafieid Smith,
who had beeu removed, leaving the office vacant. The
twenty-fifth section excepts from removal or power of
apx>ointing a successor the Corporation Counsel then
In offfice, as ic does the Controller.
ICthe mayor does not possess the power to nominate
and, with the consent of the Aldermen, to appoint a
C<>nioration Counsel and Controller, upon the expira-
tion of the terms of the present incumbents, or the
tertuBof office they are filling, then all these appoint-
ments were Invalid. Hot only so, but as has been
already observed, such otthe offices referred to as were
vacated by resieuatlon. removal, er death, must, upon
a coneiructiou of the charter wnidh denies this power,
have j-emained permanently vacant. I think such a
construction cannot be legally or fairly applied to the
act. JAM CIS EMOTT.

SKETCH OF JAMES 8. THAYKR.
Mr. James JS. Thayer, who was nonaiuated f or
the ContfoUership by Mayor Wickham, yesterday,
is a lawyer by profession, but bis movements in
connection with the recent Tammany campaign
in this Cisy seem to establish the fact
that he is a politician by practice. He was
bom in Sensaiflaer County, In thia State, and is
now about flfty-tive years of age. Pew citizena
have more occupations than Mr. Thayer. He is
interested in nolrtici, in law, in a bank, in a patent
lor manufaoturiug reaoing and mowio j machines,
and other agncnlcural iraplementn, and also iu an
agency for the sale of realestate. He is one
ot tJie Direcdiora in ' tbe Coutinantal Bank,
and he is also tbe Yice President
of a real estate ^nd trust company sitaated in Kaa-
aau street. Many years ago he held the office of
Public Administtacor in thia Oity. He was then a
Whig, but on tbe extinction of that T>ariy he be-
came a Democrat. It is said that Mr. Francis H.
Thayer, tbe ex-Canal Auditor, ia bis brother. Im-
mediately before Ytet was nominated, Mr. John Keliy
is said to have had an interview with the Mayor,
but its parport was sot ascertained.
END OF TELE FOWLEB CASE.
THE BROOKLYN BOARD OF AXDBRMEN VOTE
" NOT PBOVKN " ON THE CHARGE — HOW
THB VOTE 8rOOI>.
On the 6th of September Isat Mayor Schroeder
suspended William A. fowler Arom bis office as
Commissioner of City Works, and preferred charges
atcainst him of malfeasance in otfiee. A copy of the
cbarKes was sen'u to the Allermen on the same day.
Fowler put in aa answer a few days afterward, and
his trial has occanied seventeen sessions of the
Common CounciL Yesterday the charees preferred
by the Mayor were declared "nobproven." TheBoard
met at noon. Alderman French in the chair. A
squad of Police, under command'of Serjeant Easton,
of the Plrat Precinct, was detailed to nresarve order
amoni; tbe immense throne that attended to bear
the decision of tl% Aldermen. Fowler and his
counsel, Gen. RogerjO. Pryor, were in attendance,
as was also Corporation Counsel De Witt, who eon-
dcuted the case on the part of the city. When the
roll had been called. Alderman Burnett, of the
First Ward, moved that tho vote be taken sepa-
rately on tbe two general charges into which the
case had been divided, and that the second charge
include all the apecifioations following it. The
same Alderman moved that each member be per-
mitted to give his reasons for his vote. Both mo-
tions were carried.
The Clerk then read the first charge, which ac-
cused Fowler of nonfeasance in office in persist-
ently refusing to oDey the direotiona of the Com-
mon Council when he was required to obey the
same by law.
The name ot Alderman Burnett, (Kepublioan,)
being first called, he proceeded to give his reasons
for votlne " not proven." They were contained in
a manuscript, which the Alderman read. It was
mainly a condensation of the arguments used dur-
ing the trial in reference to the first charge by
coansel for the respondent, and concladed as fol-
lows, the reference in the part quoted being to
Fowler's refusal- to obey the order of the Common
Council directing the Board of City Works to com-
plete the facing of the Hemnstead Reaeryoir dam :
" A careful and prudent officer of the oity might
well have appealed to a judicial tribun^al for its di-
rection in the matter. Legislative bodies are not
infalliDle, as we flsd acts of our State Legislature
sometimes declared illegal and void by the court of
highest resort. Under the circumatancea of this
caae I do not find' the act of tbe reapoodeni in re-
gard to the resolution of the Common Council thus
far neceaaarily culpaVile, and be was not permitted
by hia snspeuaion befjre the order was enteied and
the mandamus granted to eltber comply with or
dijobev the order of the Supreme Conit"
Alderman Kowley, (Republican,) of the Seventh
Ward, aaid in explanation of hia vote :
" I have not prepared myself for any legal con-
test in this case, for, perhaps, not being a lawyer. It
would not be worth my while to do ao. I have at-
tempted to take a common-sense view of tbe matter,
and have examined tbe evidence carelully to tiud
whether thia charge could be voted upon uy mo as
proven or not proven. In this matter we have to
deal with Mr. Fowler as a Commissioner of the
B'Jard of Oity Works, and not in his personal char-
acter, and I hope th>«,t Mr. Fowler will view the
actions of each and every' member of the Board in
that light. The reaolution ijf tbe Common Council
directs the Board <if City Works to do a certain
thing. That resolution ia backed up by
the opinion of tbe Corporation Counsel,
the law officer of the city, that it is law-
ful to do that thing, and hia opinion la further sus-
taiusd by Judge Barnard, who 3ay.s that it is good
law, and that the Board of City Works ahould obey
that re.">oiuti.jn; whatever may have beeu the ori-
yate ouinious of the members of tbe Board of Ci y
Works, they would clearly have been held giiili-
leaa when backed up by such eainent legal author-
ities as the Corporation Counsel and a Judge of the
Supreme Court. Tt seems to ine that (hey had
good reason that they might aafoly go ahead and
complete the work with all the legal power of the
city, ha embodied in the Mayor and Common Coun-
cil, on their bide. They clearlj- did not obey that
reaolution. This la merely a question whether or
not they did wruug luaot obeying. 1 believe that
the autbsrity in favor of obeying it ia greatly supe-
rior to that iu tavsr ot their disobeying it. I hold
that tho charge is proven, and bo I vote."
When the vote waa taken on the first charge it
stood aa follows :
Proved— Aldermen Rowley, Gnswold, Bay, Parker,
Acker, Williams, French, Slgiist, i'istier, lilii— 10.
Not Proved — .4idermen Burnet, Stlrlirtg, Black, Corr,
Kane. Arnoti. Murtha. Guuder, Donovan, Reardon, Col-
treil, Guthrie, Jennison— 13.
Ail those voting "proved" are Republicans,
while with the exceptions of Burnet. Arnott, and
Cottrell, those voting "not proved," areDoinoorats.
The second charge accuses Fowler of disobeying
the directions of the Common Council for the par-
poae of benefiting William C. Kingsley and Abner
C. Keeney, to the injury of the city. *
Witlf reference to this charge, Alderman Bur-
nett, who apneared to be the principal spokesman
for those who were spposed to the conviotion of
Fowler, said: f
"In some Inttanees there is failure to connect the
respondent .with the acts charged; in other io-
stancea there is want of proof of malintent. Mere
conjecture or individual opinion, not based upon
evidence, ought not to convict any man of wrong
doing." Mr. Burnett voted "not proved"
ou the charge. Alderman Rowley thought
the charge was conclualvely proved. He
referred to the water scare gotten
up by tbe old Water Board, ot which Fowler was a
member, and to the fact that the bid of Mr. Beard,
which would have saved the city t45'),000, was re-
fused. Alderman Fisher had gre.it difflpulty in
coming to a conolusieu on the second charge, but he
was forced to believe that Mr. Fowler aoted cor-
ruptly in the interest of Kingsley and Keeuev. He
voted proved. Alderman Fritz thought that there
had been undoubtedly a conspiracy between Fowler
and the contractors. The vote when announced
stood as follows :
Proj)«d— Aldermen Rowle.y, Arnott, Griswold, Ray,
Parker. Wiiliama. French, Sigrlat, Kiitz. Fisher— 10.
Hot Prored— Aldermen Burnet, Sterling, Black, Carr,
Kane, Murtba, Gunder, Donovan. Beardou, Acker, Cot-
trell, Guthrie, Jennison, Hill— 14.
All the Aldermen voting " proved " are Rspnb-
cans. Those voting " not proved " are Democrats,
with the exeeption of Aldermen Bnrnet, Acker,
and Cottrell.
The President declared the charges dismissed.
MURDER IN LONQ ISLAND CITY.
PATRICK TAPT, A NIGHT WATCHMAN OP THE
LONG ISLAND RAILROAD, FATALLY SHOT
BY A BROTHER WATCHMAN — THE MUR-
DERKR IN CUSTODY.
Patrick Taft, a night watchman in tbe em-
ploy of the Long Island Railroad Company, waa
brutally murdered in tho freight office of the old
railroad depot on the right hand side of the ferry
at Long Island City, at an early hour yesterday
morning. The bnilding in which the deed was
committed is a small structure, and is situated
about two blocks north of the passenger depot, on
Ferry street. It is about fifteen feet square, and a
closely-boarded partition, five^ feet high, di-
vides one comer from the remainner of
the room. Inside this railing is a sta-
tionary desk, a safe, stool, and a large arm-
chair. At 7:05 yesterday mining Mr. Dell N.
Carter, a clerk in the office, arrived, and was sur-
prised to find the door unloeked, Ho went in, sup-
posing that some of the boya were there, but not
finding anyone, be went out and bought a paper of
tobacco and returned; when finding that no one had
arrived during his absence, he passed through a
door leading into the yard at the rear, and got a
broom, with the intention of sweeping tbe
office. As he opened the door leading into
the little office in the comer of the room
he saw I Taft lying ou the floor, and suppba-
ing thai he was asleep, turned to sweep out the
other part of tho building, but on second
thought- concluded to awaken Taft, and on
calling him three .or four times, and receiving no
reply, he placed his hand on Taft's shoulder .and
diacoverd that he waa dead. Carter closed the out-
side door, and shortly afterward Frederick Wblt-
taker, another employe, arrived, when the former
proceeded to notify the Police- and Coroner Dayran.
The latter discovered a bullet-hole on tbe left side
of the deceased, In the region of the heart, and
ordered the removal of the body to the office of
Mr. J. Fin«n, an undertaker, a short distance up
the street. The body was lying in a peculiar posi-
tion, and wonld indicate that Taft, af.er having
been shot, bad fallen to tbe floor, and bad subse-
quently undertaken to get u^. He was on hia
knees, bis face resting in tbe chair,
and his left hand firmly cramping the
right arm sf tbe chair. After the body had been
removed to tbe' undertaker's office, Dr. Demlier,
who lives at tbe corner of Jackson avenue and
Fourth street, in the same oity, was called, and
made an examination, out evidently not a very
thorough one, as be found only the wound over the
heart, in wbich the ball was imb^ded, and decided
that Taft came to bis death %brough internal
hemorrhage. The Csroner then mpaneled a iury,
who viewed the body, and tbe inquest was post-
poned until next Friday, at 7:30 P. M. After tho
Coraner and physician had gone, Mr. Finan, in
making preparations to place the body on ice, discov-
ered a second wound, caused by a btdlet, on tbe left
side of the upper lip, whieh had evidently been
overlooked by the physician. The deceased leaves
a wife and one child, the latter only four montha
old, wboreaide at Ko. 528 Lorrimer street, G-reen-
point. Mr. Fman sent a messenger to Mra. Tafc to
ascertain what dispoaicion should be made of the
body, but at a late hour yesterday afternoon had re-
rceived no word from her. After the discovery of
the murder. Capt. Anthony F. Wood, of the Long
Island City Police, detailsd several officers to de-
tect the murdere<* and cause his arrest, but he
surrendered himself to Officer Miuock, shortly after
noon. He proved to be a watchman on
the same premises, Dennis Ryer by
name, and said be shot Taft accidentally.
His version of the affair is that he went into the
office where Taft's body was found about 3 o'clock
yesterday morning, and taking his revolver from
nis pocket, laid it on the desk. Taft took it up,
and while tbev were both examining it it was ac-
cidentally discharged, with fatal results. Ryer
states that he at once proposed to go for a doctor,
but that Taft said, "No, don't leave me," and alter
exonerating Ryer from all blame, he expired.
The story related by Ryer is not believed by the
people or the Police, as the latter, in making an ex-
amination of the office, found a bullet imbedded
in the floor beneath the door of the office. Thia,
in connection with the two bulleta found in the
body, would indicate that ttiree abota had been
fired. R.yer was locked up in the Firat Precinct
Police Station at Astoria, to await the result ol tbe
Coroner'a ingueat. He is deacribed at being a big,
burly fellow, with red beard, aged about fifty years,
and has completely terrorized the employes of
smaller stature on the premisea. He has been in
the employ of the company twelve years, and lives
in Huron street, Greenpoint. His victim had been
in tbe employ of tbe company for seven years,
and had never been known to carry a piston He
was generally liked by all the employes wno were
acquainted with him. He was last sevn alive by
Oflicer Maloney, at the Long Island City Hotel,
in Ferry street, at about 1:30 o'clock yes-
terday morning. He was at that time
accompanied by Ryer and a watohoian,
whose station is at Pier No. 43 East , River, the
lower Wharf of the Lung Island Railroad Company.
Tbey had been dunking, and were disputing over
some matter of politics or religion. Soon afterward
the party separated, and nothing further was heard
c^ seen of them by the officer. Mike Welsh, a
driver of the mail wagon, in tbe employ of the com-
pany, was pnbliabed in several evening papers last
night as having been concerned m an altercation
with Taft about midnight. In conver.sation
with a Times reporter laat evening Mr. Weleh
stated that he met Taft near the Lung
Island City Hotel, between 11 and 12
o'clock OB Sunday evening, and together
tbey went to the bar and drank three or four tinres,
but had no altercation wbatever. While passing
out of tbe door, about 12 o'clock, they met Officer
Maloney, Taft remained talking with the officer,
while Welsh bade them good night and went
hoihe. The traot of ground between Ferry street
and the river occnpied by the Long island Railroad
Company comprises about ten acres, upon which
five watchmen are employed, including the de-
ceased andthe murderer, Ryer. Strange to say,
none of the other watchmen nor the Police heard
tLe shooting. ^^^^^^
MRS. GLEASON'S im HUMAN TREATMENT.
Mr. Towngend Cox, one of the Commissioners
of Charities and Correction, said laat evening that
the Coumissionera, in view of the statement made
by Mra. Waitie Annie Gleason relative to alleged
cruelties to which she was subjected in Bellevue
Hospital and tbe Blaokwell's Island Lunatic Asy-
lum, had directed Mr. James F. O'Rourke, Warden
of Bellevue Hospital, and Dr. K. L. Parsons, Super-
intendent of the Lunatic Aarlum, to report imme-
diatel.y all the facts in relation to the case in their
respective departmenta, so that the board can take
auch action as may be deemed proper. He said
that if tbe investigation ahowed that there
were guilty persons, they would be summarily
pubiahed. The Commissioners personally knew
nothing of tbe facts beyond what they had seen in
The Times, but would use their best endeavors to
have a thorough examinatiou made. Mrs. Eleanor
Fletcher Bishop, at whose reaidence Mra. Uleaaou
is lying in a very low condition, stated
last night that she feared Mrs. Gleason
was in a dyipi; condition, aa ahe
had fainted several times during the day, and
seemed to be fast l<.>8iug the little atrongch ane
had. Mrs. Bishop avowed her readiness to go
before the Commiaalonera at any time and be* ex-
amiued In reference to the matter, and
aaid that she wanted an inquiry of
the most searching kind. iilr. Dennis Mc-
MabOD, Mrs. Bishop's counsel, expressed his
intention yesterday of having the case thoroughly
investigated, as soon as it could oe got into proper
shape. It was thought by Commissioner Cox that
tbe reports of the Warden and Superiniendenc
would be presented at the meeting of the board thia
morning.

power of the press was now at its height, and

ILLEGAL ASSESSMENTS IN FLVSHINQ.
Mb. Marquis D. Gould, of the law firm of
Covert dt &onld, appeared before the Queens Connty
Board of Supervisors at Jamaica, Long Island, yes-
terday, on behalf of the Board of Trustees of the
village of Flushing, and made complaint as to tho
manner in which tbe assessments of taxes are made
in both the village and the town of Flashing. The
charter of the village, it appears, requires that the
Assessors shall make a dnphcato ass'feasment roll of
all property embraced within the village limits.
This duty bad been neglected for several years,
and tho consequence was that theroeonld be no
legal sale of property for unpaid taxes. In add! tion,
the returns of the Assessors were very incomplete.
Mr. Gonld animadverted with considerable severity
upon the conduct of tbe Assessors, especiallv that
ot Mr. Coles W. White, who had charge of the
village assessments, alleging that Mr. White inti-
mated that he would not give proper attention to
his duties, because his comoeosation was not suf-
ficient. Mr. Gould pointed out several cases of
gross dereliction of duty, where lots or plots had
been left cut entirely m making the -yillage assess-
ments. He understood that the Connty Treasurer
wonld return to the board some $13,000 of taxes un-
collected, which it was impossibla at pres-
ent to collect legally, and which could not be
recovered by sals of the property ; this wonld have
to be re-assessed upon the to-wn — thus making those
tax-payers who were willing to pay, suffer for those
who were derelict. He asked the" Board of Super-
visors to order the return of the assessment books
to the town of Flushing for correction, an4 cit«d
authorities to show that it was legal for the board
to do so. Supervisor Bnnckerhoff ofiered a pream-
'ule and reaolution in accordance with Mr. Gould's
suggestions, ordering the Assesaora to make the re-
quisite corrections and return the books ou or be-
fore Deo. 8, under penalty of prosecution un-
der the provisiona of the statute in such cases. Tbe
resolution was unanimously adopted.
AOOIOEN TALLY SHOT AND KILLED.
Thomas J. Brokaw, aged twenty-one, was

ing. Teeple had a revolver wbich he discharged at
the termination of each verse. While waiting for
the close of a verse he held tne weapon In his hand,
with hia thumb over the muzzle, and the other hand
on the triggerready to flte. He accidentally pulled
the trigger ana shot off his thumb, the ball entering
Brokaw's , head and fracturing his skull. The"
wounded man was carried into the house, where he
died Sunday morning.

BACY BTIIX AT THKIR LAWLESS TKICK8.
Oar advices tbis morning make more cer-
e«iD than erer the Bepnblioan victory in
tijie nation. From Florida oomes the intelli-
gence that Oov. Hayes has s> majority on
t&efaceofthsretarns. The latest dispatches
pUkoe it at 43. When the Board of Canvass-
efs made this announcement to the crowd
which witnessed their poooeedings the Demo-
crats were extremely downcast. When the
board exetsisea its judicial fanctions, and in-
q^Dires into the way the Democratic ma-
jorities were obtained m some counties,
these Democrats will have more reason
than ever to feel downcast. A strange
and startling scene marked' the
proceeding of the Lonisiana Ketnming
Board yesterday, when four witnesses were
brought in to prove the allegations of the
Republicans as to violence and intimidation.
Two were hroo^ht in on cots, they not
having recovered firom their wounds. When
the wretched woman Pinkston related
her story. ex-Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, sprang
to his feet, and expressed his horror a^d in-
dignation in language of perfectly i|atural
vigor. Other Northern gentlemen, with-
ont respect to party, did the same.
Nothing bat the presence of a small force of
United States troops seems to have pre-
Veuted senons, distdfrbances at the
organization of the South Carolina
Legislatore yesterday. The Democrats
marched to the State-bonse in a
body; claimants from Edgefield and
Laurens Counties were refused admis-
sion, and thereupon the whole body of
Bepresentatives withdrew to a neighboring
hail, and set up a House of their O'wn. The
Democratic Senators remained, because
their withdrawal would not leave the Sen-
ate without a quorum, as it is
claimed that the withdrawal of
the Democratic members did in
the House. The Bepublican members or-
ganized, elected a speaker, and pro^eded to
Dusineas. A majority of all the members
legallv elected were present. Grov. Cham-
berlain holds that the Legislature is a legal
body as constituted, and all the precedents
show that it is. The vote for Goverjaor will
*M counted to-day.

&lf Telegraph from Ovr SpeeHal Correspondent,
Tallahassee, Nof. 28.— The Canvassing
Board Inet this morning, and, pursuant to the
•ales adopted yesterdav, commenced oan-
rassiog the returns by counties in alphabeti-
yal order, as they appear on their face.
4m<mg the spectators present on the
Sepnblican side were Grev. Stearns, ex-
GoT. Noyes and Attorney (General Little, of
Ohio; Grea. Wallace, oi Indiana; Gen. Barlow,
Congressman Tbombure, of Tennessee; As-
sistant Postmaster Greneral Brady, of Wash-
iugtoa. ; W. EL Cbandler, of Kew-Haaapsbire ;
two of I3ie Bspubiiean Electors of this State;
Mr. Ampt, of Cincinnati, and one or two others.
On the Democratic side were George F. Drew,
Democratio candidate for Govemer of Florida;
_,,ex-Grov. Brown and Gen. Young, of G^eorgia ;
Miuiton Marble, of New- York; Messrs. J. B.
Read, Malcolm Hay, J. Q. Thompson, and G.
W. Gnrthzie, uf Pennsylvania : Mr. Salten-
stidl, of . JttasBachusetts ; HUton, Demooratie
candidate for Elector of Florida, Baney and
Campbell, lawyers oi this State, and a
few o^rs. Qea. Brannan, commanding the
United States troops here, was also present.
Aatiie returas were opened, and tfae vesolt an-
noanced firom each county, notice was given oi
any contest to be made hereafter, as to their
trregulantr or legality. Mr. Pasco, Chairman
ot the Democratic State Committee cf
Florida, save notice of a contest in each
of the ten counties giving Bepublican mt^on-
ties, and Mr. Martin. Chairman of the Bepubli-
can Committee, gave notice of contest in each,
ot tne twenty-niae counties giving Democratic
majorities. It should be noted, in this oonnec-
ta«in, that all the ihickly-populated coun-
ties, like Duval, Leon, Madison, Jefferson,
and otbers, where there is civilization and pro-
tection to life, and where elections could be
beid in a lesal and peaceable manner, gave Be-
publican majorities, while the Democratic ma-
jorities came from the sparsely-settled, half-
civilized, and lawless southern counties.
The board finished the canvass ot
the counfies about 1 P. M., ail
except Dade, the south-east county, whose re-
turns are not yet in. The footina; up of the re-
turns as announced by the board showed that
Hayes and Wheeler Electors had received a
majority of 43. The highest Bepublican Elec-
tor has a majority of 43 over the highest
Democratic Elector, and the lowest Bepublican
Elector has a majority ot 36. Dade County
C«aunot change the result a dozen votes one
: %ay or the other. There are only forty or filty
i^Oters in the county, and the Bepublican ma-
jority iu 18/4 tor Cuueressmaa -was 13. The
Democrats are much cbai^riued to find that,
after all their frauds, they ore beaten on the
face of the returns ; but tbey will tjnd it still
worse when the board comes to go behind the
returns, and show how the election was con-
ducted in several Democratic counties.
Soon after the result was reached to-day
cclearams came from the North to several
Deiiiucrats here saying that the Governor of
Oreteou retused to give a certificate to one of
the Bepublican Electors of that State. This
revived their spirits, and they agreed that
Florida might go to the deuce, while thev
ioined in a drmk for Oregon.
lbs board adjourhed ovw till to-morrow, to
Hernando" County, who died here last night.
He came here in company with the messenger
who brought the proofis of frauds in that
county, and wbo was afraid to come alone.
They were a week on the jour-
ney, and the eiposure, from being
^bilged to conceal themselves, and sleep out in
\he swamps at night, to prevent assassination,
resulted in Saxon's death soon after bis alrrival.
He was a brave and true man, but had the
misfortune to be a Bepublican. which in the
section of the State from which be came is a
crime deserving death at sight.
When Mr. McLin, Chairman ofthe board, said
that the Bepublioans wished to attend the
funeral of Saxon, Hilton, one of the Demo-
eratio candidates for Elector, replied that the
Democrats also wanted to attend the funer^ be-
cause Saxon was a Confederate officer. Not a
single Democrat attended, however.
After the recess of the board, and before the
adjournment, the Democrats trumped up a
bogus return from Baker County changing the
figures so as to give Tilden 21 majority is the
State. This return is wholly illegal, and was
not admitted by the board.
The total vote of the State on Electors is :
Bepublican. 24,327 ; Democratic, 24,284—
majority for Hayes, 43.

New-Orleans, Nov. • 28.— If there ever
was a doubt of the success of the Republican
cause in this State, tbat doubt was set at
rest to-day. The session of the Returning
Boiird was the most imnortanc yet held,
and some of tbe evidence given was so con-
clusive, and proved all the cbaraes of violence,
UMirder, oukrag», and intim%iation against
Ae Democrats so overwhelming that the
Northern representatives of Mr. Tilden
now here have abandoned all hope either of
securing tbe vote of the State, or breaking
down the case ot their opponents. The appear-
ance ot the poor wonaan, Eliza Pinks-
ton, created a marked seniation. She
was unable to walk, and had to
be carried into the meeting room.
Her entire body is covered with cuts and
wounds. There is a terrible eash across
her face. ' She has three deep wounds
in the breast, and the muacles about
the joint of her heel have been cut.
eo that her foot hangs limp and
useless. She was very weak, and fainted while
she was being examined. Still she gave
her testimony in a clear and straightfor-
ward way^^^at carried conviction to the
mind of evert~4mpartial hearer. She swore
positively that a party of armed White Demo-
crats broke into her cabin at the dead
hour of night, shot her husband to death,
telling him as he died that he would vote
no more Radical tickets ; then
they cut and wounded her as described, and
fipished their horrible crime by taking her baby
from her arms, cutting its throat, and thi-ow-
ing its liteless body into an adjacent pond or
lake. Gov. Palmer, of the Democratic
Committee, was particularly moved by
the poor woman's statement, and re-
quested the Board to waive its
rule and allow a free and full cross-exami-
nation. Senator Sherman, on the part of the
Bepublicans, joined in the request, and the
board allowed the cross-examination to
CO on. One of the local Democratic
lawyers conducted it in the most searching and
thoroui:h manner, buL to no purpose. Mrs.
Pinkston'told the same story over and over
again. There was no discrepancy in any
part of her several statements. To-
night, seeing the etfect her sad story
has had. the Democrats are trying
very hard to weaken its force, by declaring that
the crimes which she swears to wero committed
by negroes, who hated Pinkston because he had
at one time voted the Democratic ticket.
They have a number of wituesses here
who they say can prove this. They do not deny
that Pinkston and the child were killed as re-
lated; and, of course, they cannot deny that
attend the funeral of Mr. SaxpSi 1^0 Sheriff «£J_the woman was terribly wounded. Indeed, she
is now at the point of death. Is it likely that in
such a condition she would swear to a lie 1 She
has absolutely no motive for telling anything
but the truth, and her testimony is supported
by strong circumstantial evidence which can-
not be refuted. To-morrow, however, the
Democrats will make the effort, with what suc-
cess the readers of Thsi Times will be fully and
fairly informed.
' Whatever may be tbe result in the Pinkston
case, however, the statement of Ben
James, a respectable oolorea maUi who, weak
and wounded as he was, appeared before
the board to-day. cannot be questioned.
The Democrats reluctantly admit its truth,
and the Republicans, even if they had no other
testimonj^ could rest their case on bis evidence
alone. His statement is substantially as fol-
lows:
" Just before the election I was appointed
special constable, and as such had charge ot
the ballot-box, ahd poll number two in
Ouachita Pansb. At 1 o'clock in the morning
of Nov. 7, I started from my house for the
poll, having the box with me. It was a bright
moonlight night, and I had got about two'
miles from home when I was met by two armed
white men. They asked me which way I
was going. I told them that I was
going to Logtown, with the box. Thev said
tbey had better see Mr. Head. Thev called
him and he answered, and then two others
came up who had guns. One was
named Cook. I did not know the other. They
were all white'men. Head then came up. and
asked me which way i was going. I told him I
was going on to Logtown with the ballot-box.
He told me I could not go yet a
while. He asked me what I had
in the ballot-box. I said papers, and that he
knew what was generally put in. He said,
" Well, you must go down to headquarters
to have the ballot-box examined." Head
ordered the two young men who came up
last to get on their horses and go with me to
head-quarters. They got on their horses with
their guns. One had a shot-gun and the other
a breech-loader or something after that pattern.
They said, "Let us go, "and all rode off. Some one
after myself and my guard rode off a little
ways, said : "Hold on." A man named Rills
came up and run his hand round my body,
and said: "Ben, it aint worth while
to take your pistol down there with
you," and took it off, and said he would give
it back to me when £ came back. I said " Yet.
I would like to have it, for I am special
constable for the day." He said, "Go
ahead, all right." We went on about
fifty yards, and were again halted by the chal-
lenge, "Halt! Who oomes there 1" One of the
guards replied, " Scott." Then one of the
guards went forward and whispered. The
challenger said: "Right. Pass through."
The one who challenged was armed with
a gun. We went on, and were halted
at about the same distance by two armed
men in the same way as before. One of tbe
guards replied to the challenge, "Scott'* One
of my guards rode ahead and whispered ; then
the reply was "Right. Pass through." We
went on about the same distance, when we wer
again halted and the reply " Scott " made to the
challenge. One of my guards advanced as be-
fore, and whispered, and was told '* All right.
Pass on." I was then brought in front of head-
quarters, being Joe Mitchell's house. Wfe then
stopped and -got off at the fire. Some men
were standing round, and some were lying
round. All that were up were armed, and
arms were lying round for those lying down.
It was a regular camp. There were, to my
mind, at least seventy-five or eighty armed
men there, and there may have been more.
They whispered round for awhile,
when one of the ^Kisany rode off
toward Joe Mitchell's house, and left
Buck Mines standing tl»ere with me. Joe
Mitchell and Bob Budom rode up near where
I was. They talked some time. I heard
Mitchell say, " All right." Endom then rode
off. Mitchell then said. " Boys, get your
horses," and caMie riding up toward
me, and. said, " I wish I had a
double-barrel gun," and then said to me,
" March on down the road." I asked him
" Shall I ride or walk ?" He said 1 could do
either, and if I did not ride I could
let my pony lie there. I whirled off
and. got about ten steps and broke
off and ran. I knew from the conversation
among them that thev were going to kill me.
I ran into the woods, and as soon as I ran
they bej^an sbootmg at me. Joe Mitchell rode
right after me on his horse, shoot-
ing at me with his pistol. I got
within about forty or filty feet of Col. Par-
goud's fence, when Mitchell fired his gun at me,
and shot me in the /ight, arm and broke it.
Mitchell was between the company and me, rid-
ing after me. hallooing back to the others not to
shoot him. [Mitchell.] This stopped the others
firing at me, and it was a shot from Mitchell's
gun that bit me. I fell in a ditch, and crawled
up the bank, then finding that I could not get
on any further I gave up. Mitchell rode up and
said, "D— n himi I'll fix him !" Mitchell got
off his horse, and came to me oh the ditch,
ran round me, and ran tbe pistol un-
der my head, that is, between my head and
the ground, for I was lying helpless, stretched
out. When he got it along my temple, he fired,
aiming to blow my brains out. 1 then became
spseobless. After some time I came to.
The ball had passed alongside of
my temple and went upward along
my head, cutting the temple. He had
mis«ed shooting me through the head, from the
position of his pistol bemg alongside ot my
temple instead of the muzzle being square
against it. The shot was aimed to kill me.
When I came to I looked round, and found
they were all gone, I got up as soon as I could,
supporting my wounded arm with my other
hand, and walked on toward home. From loss
of blood 1 fainted. I was bleeding from the
temple and the arm, and found that I
was also shot through the leg. One
shot had taken effect in the back of my head,
partially breaking the skull bone; also a shot
grazing my side. I fainted after I had
traveled aboui three-quarters of a mile.
This was about 2 o'clock in the morn-
mg of the 7th ot November, 1876.
I lay on the field where I had fainted imtil
daylight, when I got up and tollowed the row^
in the field to Col. Pargoud's stable. I then
called Lawrence Dunmore, a colored
man. Several persons came ont of
tbe house to see. Col. Pargoud
came out, and asked several questions, and then
told Lawrence to hitch up the cart and haul
me home, which was done. The doctors came
to see me, and dressed my wounds after I got
home. I have never got back my horse, saddle
bags, pistol, coat, or anything that
I left at the camp. I have inquired about them.
Out can hear nothing of them. This company
had camped there to interfere with the
election that day, as they could have
no other object in capturing and shooting me.
I bad never done any of them any harm, and
was merely domg my duty as an election
ofBoer. I am a Bepublican. and have been all
along, and had taken some part durmg the
campaign in getting the Bepublicans to-
gether and to turn out to the election.
I had been Constable at that poll before
and had given out Bepublican tickets to voters.
The Benublloans had generally, indeed always,
carried a mi^jority at that poll. To the best ot
my recollection the Bepublicans usually had
at that poll from one hundred and fifty to
one hundred and . seventy-five miyority.
The members of this company who
captured me were Democrats. There
were two roads from where I lived to that
pool, and both were picketed by this company
tiie morning of the elect on. I know of sev-
eral other' rifle companies in this
parish, organized before the election. I have
seen them riding through the country
during the night, visiting colored men's quar-
ters. They would do so to make colored men
vote the Demoeratic ticket. They would make
ail sorts of threats io compel tbe colored men
to vote the Democratic ticket. I know of a large
number of colored Bepublicans .who were, by
the threats used against them compelled to
vote the Democratic ticketat the last election.
At the time of the registration of voters in tbe
Parish of Ouachita for the last election, tbeSe
rifle companies would interfere with the col-
ored Bepublican about their regis-
tering, and use ail their efforts to
compel them to vote the Demoeratic ticket. I
found this to be the cas3 when I was canvass-
ing among the Bepublioans before the election.
Many of them told mo they were forced, for fear
of their lives and their persona, to vote the Dem-
ocratic ticket. From my knowledge ot the
voters of this parish, the late election in
Ouachita was not a free, fair, and true expres-
sion of the voters of the parish, and, in lact,
there was nothing like an election at any place,
except at the polls in Monroe, where the voters
were under the protection of the United States
troops.
As I have already stated abovp, the Demo-
crate admit the truth of James' story. There
IS much rejoicing among the Republicans in
New-Orleans to-night, and a general feeling
that the great fight for right and justice has
been more than half won. H. C.
A THRILLING 8CBNK AT THE SESSION OP
THE RETURNING BOAKD — THE OUT-
RAGES DENOUNCED BY NORTHEKN
DEMOCRATS- GEN. JOHN M. PALMER'S
WRATH TERRIBLE NARRATIVE OF A
WITNESS.
Special Dispatch to the New-Tork Times.
Nkw-Okleans, Nov. 28, — A startling scene
occurred before the Returning Board to-day.
Four witnesses were examined- All had been
wantonly shot because of their Bepublican
principles. Two were brought to the city on
cots. Their names are Ben James, Eaton Long-
wood, H.W. Burrell. and Eliza Pinkston. During
the latter's pitiful recital of her wrongs — her
husband emasculated and then killed before her
eyes, of her babe whose throat was cut in her
arms, of her own gashed breast and limbs, and
finally the outrage ot her person by two white
•
Democrats— ex-Gov. John M. Palmer, of Illinois,
leaped from his chair and said in wrath " If
this story be false, those that prepared it for
this poor woman should be hanged ; but if, as I
firmly believe, it is true, the wretches who can
perpetrate such atrocities should be executed
without mercy. 1 will spend $10,000 to ferret
out this case. It looks true. This
poor woman has certainly been cruelly
wronged. The question is broader now than
President-making — it is one oi humanity. If
she has told the truth, Sheridan should
come back at once and bold with a
grip of iron a people who can see such
infamy without remonstrance even in their
public prints." Gov. Palmer was greatly ex-
cited wbUe making these remarks, and as-
tounded the Louisiana Democrats, who tried in
vain to pacify him. Gen. George B. Smith,
of Wisconsin, also exhibited much excite-
ment, and turning upon local Democrats, said,
" You have deceived us." Subsequently Lyman
Trumbull, who was absent from the room
during the woman's recital, flatly concurred
with Gen. Palmer. The demoralization of the
Democrats here is complete, not only because
ofthe facts disclosed, but because of the names
of leading Democrats who are exposed in de-
tail as the murderers and ravishers. Other
witnesses, men and women, who have cruelly
suffered, are yet to take the stand.
To-night the Chief of Police has been com-
pelled to station a force around the domicile
within which Mrs. Pinkston lies prostrate on
a bed. A turbulent Democratic crowd is as-
sembled, and they are loud with menaces.
At last it is evident that even Nopth-
em Democrats cannot return home and
sneer down Southern Democratic outrages as
myths. The testimony which Hon. John Sher
man. Gen. Garfield, Eugene Hale, Gen. White,
Courtlandt Parker, E. W. Stoughton, and Judfe
Kelley wiU furnish the Ncjrth will startle the
whole country. Pollowii\g is in substance
Mrs. Pinkston's statement :
On Saturday night, the 4th of the month,
Henry Pinkston, a respectable colored man.
Parks, Gogan, Frank Durham, "Buck" Ba-
ker, and others, rushed mto the room. They
went up to the bed where Pinkston was lying,
and, draggmg him out on the floor, cried. " Ton
will vote no more Eadioal tiekets here."
"Buck" Baker said, "We must 'tend to the
woman, too."
They then commenced firing their pistols at
Pinkston. He fell. His wife screamed, and
one of them struck her over the head
with his heavy navy revolver. She was cut
and shot in several places ; her jaw was broken,
but she did not die. When she had been
'* 'tended to," tbe men took her husband, tied a
handkerchief over his month, and carried his
bleeding bodj out of the bouse. Then they
killed him. Before be died he begged them to
spare his life, saying, " I will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, sure." "No," said one of them,
*.' . your nigger heart, you have
fooled us long enough ; now you must die."
Having killed tbe husband the meh next turned
to the wile. Her infant lay at her side. They
cut its throat from ear to ear and threw the
dead body into a pond nearby. Then they
left the cabin, and the bleeding, childless
widow of their victim saw them no more.
There are 2,167 Bepublican voters in the parish
where Henry Pinkston lived, but only 781 of
them went to the polls on election day.
THE DE SOTO PARISH RETURNS.
ACTION OK AN EIECnON SUPERVISOR— THE
FALSE POSmON IN WHICH IT PLACKD
THE RETURNING BOAKD.
By Telegraph from our Special Correspondent.
New Orleans, Nov. 28. — The discovery
that the package containing the returns from
De Soto Parish had been tampered with has
naturally caused so much talk that an explan-
ation of the matter will not be out of place at
this time. The election laws of tbis State re-
quire th^t the Supervisor of Registration of
each parish shall make up tbe returns from
the district over which he has jurisdic-
tion, and send them by mail, sealed,
to the Returning Board. If there
be any evidence of fraud, violence, or intimida-
tion, such evidence shall accompany the re-
turns— the affidavits to be attached to the re-
turns with wax, gum, paste, or some other ad-
hesive substance. The De Soto returns were
received here apparently on the 18th inst.. the
seals were broken in the presence of the two
Northern committees and a number of promin-
ent Democrats, and among the affidavits of 'in-
timidation was foUnjd one dated the 25th of No-
vember.
De Soto is not one of the contested parishes,
and the result ot the election there does not af-
fect the canvass. The af&davit which was inserts
ed as described is made by the Supervisor of
EWctions for the parish, and in it he swears
that he was obliged to come to New-Cirleans to
make out his affidavit, as he would not dare do
so in De Soto. Tbe Beturning Board are not
in any way resoonsible for the attair. The
truth seems to be that the Supervisor brought
tbe returns to New-Orleans himself, instead of
sending them by mail, as required by law;
then he fixed up an envelope, dated it back,
put in his affidavit, and tried to deceive tbe
board. ' H. C.
who was knowTi in the island district
of Ouachita Parish, went to his cabin after, as
is stated, having held a consultation regarding
the election with a number of Republican lead-
ers. He was known in the parish as a steadfast
and somewhat demonstrative Republican, but,
fearing for his hfe, he had recently joined a
Democratic club. According to the sworn
statement of his wife, Eliza Pinkston, which is
now before me, he went quietly to bed on the
night in question, not feaiing or apprehending
any danger. At about 3 o'clock the next fSun-
day] morning a number of men, who from their
voices were known to be white, came to the
cabin and, knocking on the door, said, " Come
out here Pinkston, your Yankee friends want
to take you to Monroe."
To this Mrs. Pinkston, who thought sherecog-
nizedthe voice of the speaker, replied, " You are
no Yankee ; you are Dr. Young." A man named
Gogan, who was afterward recognized by Mrs.
Pinkston, immediately answered, " Dr. Young
is not in the parish." After a few words more
of no importance had passed between the
terrified woman and the men on the outside,
Gogan broke down the door of the cabin, and a
nvmiber of armed white men, among whom
Mrs. Pinkston rebo'Tmed Dr. Youmr. BiUv^, aueation by the nublicaiion of the followinir.

HOW TILDEN CARRIED QUACHITA — THK

FORE THE RETURNING BOARD.
From Our Speciat Corresvondfnt.
New-Orleans, Friday, Nov. 24, 1876.
It has recently become fashionable among
the agents and friends of Mr. Samuel J. Tilden
to denounoe the Louisiana Beturning Board as
an "infamous, iniquitous, and unconstitutional
body." While engaged in making these whole-
sale and ridiculous charges, however, they for-
get to mention that the Election law under
which the board acts was originally passed
by a Democratic Legislature ; they forget to
istate that in 1872, when they made their fusion
with Warmoth, all the members of the board
were Democrats ; they forget to tell the pub-
lic that they had nothing but words of praise
tor the now " infamous board"— they forget or
ignore all these facts, and they are exceedingly
careful to make no mention of the causes which
led the Bepublioans to indorse the Election law
as it now stands. Fortunately, however, those
causes are a matter of history ; that they have
existed for the last eight years, that they still'
exist, no man who knows anything about the
recent political history of Louisiana will dare
deny. It wiil be remembered that the
principal clause in the law, and the
one which the Democrats now denounce
most strongly, provides that the State
Board of Canvassers shall have authority to
throw out the vote oi all polls, districts or par-
ishes where it can be proved that a fair, free,
and honest election was prevented by fraud,
violence, or intimidation. That such a law is
necessary in Louisiana has been proved conclu-
sively at every election held since reconstruction.
"The bloody shirt " is not a recent invention.
Murders for political purposes are not novel or
unusual in Louisiana. During the six months
previous to the ever-memorable election of
1868, five horrible massacres ot colored Bepub-
lican voters were perpetrated by the Demo-
crats of the interior of this State. These
crimes were carefully and coolly considered and
premeditated. They were committed, as has
been proved beyond all question, for the pur-
pose of intimidating negro voters and
keeping them from voting the Bepub-
lican ticket. They were part of the
campaign tactics of the men who now
want to go to war because Mr. Tilden was not
elected President of the United States. At
this juncture it will not be amiss to recall some
of these Democrat.c crimes. In the Parish of
St. Landry on the 28th of September,
1868, the secret political society known as
the Knights of the White Camellia com-
menced an organized massacre of colored
Republicans, which was continued for five
days, and during which at least 200 of those
unhappy people were slaughtered in cold blood.
Two weeks afterward, in the Parish of Bossier,
a similar massacre occurred, and m four days
1.50 black men are known to have been killed.
" The work for thecauoe," as it was then called,
was continued during the month of October.
In Caddo Parish forty negro voters were killed
or "lostin the woods ; " in the Parish of Jefferson
forty people were killed and wounded, and in
the parish of St. Bernard 100 colored men
were massacred "for the cause." During the
months of September and October, in Orleans
Parish, two attacki were made upon Republi-
can processions, and at least sixty men' were
killed. In the latter month, in the town of
Franklin, in the Parish ot St. Mary, the Repub-
lican Sheriff and Parish Judge were taken out
of their houses and publicly assassinated m
sight of their agonized families. What was the
result of these crimes? I can best answer that
tables oomriled from tbe official returns. They
telK their own stoiry ; they need no comment.

It is to be noted that in 1868 the registration
for the Presidential election in this State was
b8?ed upon the vote for Governor oast in the
Spring of the same year. In other words, at
the election for Governor, 47,923 Republicans
voted in the parishes given above, while six
months later, because of the Democratic reign
of terror, only 5,360 Republican votes were
cast! I must also draw the attention of the
reader to the fact that in nine of the above
parishes in which there were 11,604 registered
Bepublican votes, only 19 Bepublican votes
were oast. This part of the table will bear
repetition. It is as follows :

Now. let any candid, fair-minded m who
reads these tables ask himself the question.
Is the Louisiana Election law infamous and
outrageous, as is claimed by the Democrats, or is
it just and necessary as is asserted by the
Bepublicans ? On one point, at least. . there
can be no doubt. If the law became a neces-
sity after the terr hie political outrages of 1868,
it is doubly necessary now, for it was by crimes
even more atrocious and blood-curdling than
those committed in that year tbat the friends
of Mr. Tilden tried to overcome the BepubUcan
majority m this State. How well they suc-
ceeded may be seen by a reference to the
vTeeistration and vote in the following fifteen
parishes where the Democratic outrages were
most numerous, where the so-called " bull-
dozers " did their work most effctually :

'The readini; , nublio must, by this time, be
tolerably familiar with the means by which the
Southern Democrats obtain results like the
above. It is known in a general way, tor in-
stance, that in South Carohna armed bodies of
men calling themselves nfle clubs rode through
the country by day and by night drivuiK unof-
fending black Sepublioans from their cabins,
threatening them with death if they voted the
Bepublican ticket, and beating and otherwise
outraging them to enforce these threats and
give them what is called in the South '* a fair
warning." It is also known in. a general way
that the same tactics were resorted to by the
White League, Und other friends of Mr. Tilden
in this State. While all these things are gen-
erally known, however, the people of the North
have no idea of the atrocity of some of the
crimes that were committed in the remote par-
ishes of Louisiana during the recent political
campaign. Some of them are almost too hor-
rible for belief, and yet they have all been
proved by testimony that cannot be doubted or
questioned. The dead bodies of the murdered
men and tbe bleeding wounds sf helpless
woman cry out againsi the criminals. U. C.

Special Lispatch to the New-York Times.
Columbia, S. C, Nov. 28.— Last night a
company of United States troops took charge of
the Capitol. The streets had been full of ru-
mors, and threats that the roughs in
the city from almost every county^ in
the State would take possession of the
coFridors, and prevent the Bepublican mem-
bers of tbe House from entering the chamber
until an organization was effected by the
Democrats. The Bepublicans, and especially
the colored men, were excited and alarmed,
and had begun to gather in some places near
the State-house. The inflammability of the
community was apparent to every ob-
server. White men in red shirts swag-
gered in the streets of the town, displaying
their revolvers, while there were some colored
men talking wildly. No local authority would
have beeu ot the least use in quelling the riot,
il one had started. It was in the interests of
peace and order, and as a purely preventive
measure, that Gen. Bnger, at the request of I
tbe Governor, sent a ismaU force to the State-^
boiye. All well-disposed persons are g\ati t<
feel safer because of their presenee.
Both houses of the Legislatore met at t^
noon. The Demooratio members marched dowa
to the State-house by twos, with Gen. Wad«
Hampton and tbe ChaSrmau of the Deraooratieu
Executive Committee bringing up the rear.
The persons claiming to have been elected
from Edgefield and Laurens Counties were tot

The Democratic membeis, with one ex'aep,

the Speaker informed the House that there

declared that no valid election had occurred in

bitterly denounced. There seems to be no dan*
ger of trouble to-night. The bar-rooms arc
closed, and the leading Democrats seem to ba
disposed to quiet the turbulent members o^
their party. A cold rain helps to kesp tb*
peace. The pirogramme for to-morrow <a
the part of the Democrats is nnknotni*
save by rumor. It is certainly their inten''doik
to keep up a House of their own, and to iitusb
to accidents. They are using every tatM
threat and bribery to seduce some £epab-
licans to their side.
The Democratic members fitted up Caroling
Hall, and held a secret caucus to-night.
They fully organized by the eleotian of Qen,
W. H. Wallace, ot Union, as Speaker. Sixty-i

" I think," said he, " the result o&the eveata

formed their proper functions in preserving
the peace and maintaining an attitude of perw

effect of their presence has, of course, been fa-
vorable to the Republicans, because the chief
reliance of the Democrats has been, and.
is now, in overawing the Bepublioans,

them from securing their rights. I know of no

Fr«m wr Military Correapondent.
London, Wedneadftj, Not. 15, 1876.
Am«^cans maj well be thankfal, while
eontemplstinK the present crisis of poiitioal
events in Europe, that the position and in-
lexests of their coantrj are suoh as to defj
agtcressioh, and render war with them an im-
possihility unless it he waged to vindicate
their national honor. There^s not a oonntry
in Europe whose interests are not in some
ai«astire identified with the Easterni queationt,
and each oonseqaently awaits with anxiety the
r«salt of the ooiifereace to determine th6 basis
of peace. Although its cpas^ipmatioa is re-
garded by soma sa oertaio, unless some un-
locked f r emi^t arises. Still a e9n9ral feelinfT
permeaftes the political atmosphi^re that the
subject niust ha ere lopK aiiain reopened, and
pcohably with fewer chances of a pacific settle-
ment. In the meantime, all thepowersth^t have
weightyinterestsatstakearesettingtheirhouses
hi order, and are preparing for eventualities.
Th» Italians have certainly taken the lead in
this respect, and are a step in advance of even
those powers whose mtereat^ are n)pre greatly
affected. Tbe Dandolo and Duilio, tv«o rron-
olads building in this country for that Govern-
ment, will each be armed with four guns of
100 tons each, one alxofi firom whiph will — re-
oent experiments have proved — sink anything
BOW afloat. The stnbbon^ theories of the
British artillerists, which have been perpetuated
in spite of reason and experience, have been
e<{mpletely thrown over, and this oountrT is
BOW awaiUns with interest the results of ex-
periment! earned out by an English
firm for a foreign Government, wMeh
the immense sum provided yearly by the opnu-
try for similar purposes has failed to discover.
This sum is more than double that expended
for the same purpose by the united countries
ot Europe. The new ^ints of this monster
piece of ordnance may be summarized as fol'>
lows: Polyaroove riflmg; the absence of
Btuds, and consequently a smooth prijeotile
sad absence of lines of least resistance, tending
to weaken the shot ; the adaptation of the gas
obeck, or narrow cepper ring encircling the
base to take the rifilng. This is aceomplishedby
a groove runaing round its base, which the
P9wder-gaa causes to expand when the gun is
dwoharged. The principle is somewhat an-
alogous to the lead-coated -^rqjeotiles first
manufactured by Sir Willi^ Armstrong.
The expanding cap, however, is by no
means new, |)iit it has fallen to the
Elawich firm to perfect the invention
iist iatroduced by Farrott and iEflakely. The
▼eat also, one of the weakest parts of a gun,
consists of a steel ball instead of a copper
serew. It can thu^ be remoyed in a tew sso-
o^ds without submitting the gup to the te-
dious process of reventing. It is also closed
on the discharge of the gun, thus obviating the
escape of gas, and the consequent enlargement
and destruction of the vent.
The experiments are being carried out at
Spesia with the same machinery that will
work the gun in the turret of the vessel for
which it is intended. The powertiil hydraulio
brakes which are applied prevent a recoil of
more than four teet — the only space allowed —
as it is feared that sa heavy a weight
being suddenly shifted to the side of
the vessel might endanger its safety. So
iar, the trials have been moat satisfactory,
but the highest chs^ge used has not exceeded
370 poands ot 1^^ inch cubic powder, (the ser-
vice-charge of the English 8(X-tan gua,) but ibis
week a 2,000 pound projectile, fired with 374
pounds of lowder, has produced an initial
velocity of 1,542 feet per second, and an energy
equal to 38,000 foot tons. The English 80^ton
gun,^ with its service-charge of 370 pounds, has
realized an energy of 29,000 foot tons. The
Himparatively longer bore of the 100-ton guus
(which insures a more perfect combustion of
the powder) may probably aoceunt for their
superiority. What the eventual results may
be when the service-charge is used pannot yet
be surmised. At present we know that it has
actually penetrated and punched up the 22-inoh
rolled iron target, with corresponding teak
Lacking, reuresenting the thickest English
iron-clad; but that it has only partially suc-
ceeded against the steel target which repre-
sents a section ot their own vessels, and that
this penetrative power has been ubtained with
the comparatively low pressure of 21^ tons to
ihe square inch.
Sir >v illiam Armstrong labors under the great
disadvantage of having been compelled to turn
out itis lirst monster gim in a complete oondi-
tipu, whereas tb© 80-ton enn was tried at sev-
erat stages and the bore gradually improved
and enlarged until it assumed its preseut di-
mensions, whiuh, by the way, it is again oon-
lemplaced to alter, viz., by enlargmg the pow-
derctiamher to 16 inches, leaving tbe remain-
aer of the bore at 17 inches. The undignihed
pesinon ot England, being second to a second-
rate power m that very branch where
we couaiaer ourselves furcmost, has re-
cently determined the authorities to proceed
at opce with tbe manutacture of a gun, the
plans lor which have been prepared for a con-
BiUeraoie tisae. which wUl completely eclipse
eveu the monster IQO-.tons. Tbe new gun will be
"^ ot 2u0-coaa weijjht ; length, 50 leet ; weight of
projectile, 3,900 pouiitls ; charge, 800 pounds, and
ca.i,ure, :>iO to 21 mches. A Iw-cou gon was first
iu contemplation, but that has been abandoned,
in order that we may take a long lead of the
aspii'ants lu the mauulactureof heavy ordnance.
'Jl'tie preliminary expeiises" wUl be upward ot
f7UlCUX), lu audition to which wharves and
piers wUl tiave to lie strengthsned, and the rail-
way upon which ic is moved in the Itoyal Arse-
nal at Woolwich, will require improvement and

to ilit the required weigbc, erected. 1 may
itate here that the target against which the
BU-tuD KUa has yet to be triea lur its penetra-
tive qualities will be 24 inches of wrought-
ii-on, witu 17 inches ot bark backing. I will,
however, luinish tue details when thiit, the iasc

as follows: The detenses were not equal to re-
sist the tiro ol the guns, and the abolition of
embrasures would appear inevitable or tbe loi--
.tificatioua must be streu!;thened. In tbe latter
al^terualive it ia questionable whether eitber
the materials or men would be forthcoming in
the held, llie howitzers did not show sutficient
acouracj^ in the curved firing to test their
' efiicac.y when so used. The recoil, also, was
BO great as to render the platforms useless
alter u few rounds. It is, theretore, evident
.^ tuat a dlft'srent oarriaee will have t* be con-
' ' vtraoted, and the weight of these pieoes of
, ': . ordnance increased before they can be ocasidr
■^ .' ered adapted for the purpose for which they are
Intended. The damage to th«-b»^texy( wbeo.
fired upon, was not sufficient to render any of
the guas useless. However, the victory ap-
peared to rest with the siege train.
GoL Valentine Baker, formerly of the Tenth
Huzzars, and considered one of the most dash-
ing cavalry officers in the British Army, who
was summarily dismissed the service by her
M^'esty for improper conduct toward
a lady, has taken service with the
Turks, and has already organized
their cayalry in such a manner as to win the
admiraitioh of good ludges. He is now eiu-
ployed in censtructing defenses round Stam-
houl. His popularity when in the Engdsh ser-
vice has induced upward of one hundred re-
. tired officers of the British Army to volunteer
to serve under his orders.

{■ORE THE

Hon. Blchard H. Dana, Jr., of Boston, read a
paper on "Tbe Moral History of International
Law" at the Athenenm, Brooklyn, last oiebt, before
the Long Island Historical Society. Several dis-
tiD£ni*bed citizens oconpled the platform, amoug
wbotn may be mentioned Bev. Dr. Biobaid S.
Storrs, Bishop Little.iohD, Judge Gilbert, Hon.
Henry C. Murphy, Bev. A. P. Pntpana, David
M. Stone, Bev. ' Dr. Baddiogton, and Henry
Sheldon. Bev. Dr. Storrs, President of
tbe Lone Island Historical Society, announced
that on next Tuesday, Deo. ?, tbere would be a
meeting of the society which would be addressed by
Kev. Eoaewell D. Uitcbcock, D. D., of New-Tork,
and on Dec. 19 a paper would be read by Mr, H, B.
Johnson, in answer to the question ''Whofoustbttbe
battle of Itonglaland)" Dr. Storrs next introduced
Hod. Bicbard H. Dans, Jr., of Boston, as " a gen-
tleman who combines high literarv distinction and
cnltare with the coaraee, foresight, and patience
which make a statesman."
Mr. Dana began bis address by saying that, at the
clpse of tbe loos Jugnrtban war Darias bronebt
Jugurlba to Borne, chained to bis ebariot, and
dragged him through the streets amid tbe insults
ef the mob) and oast him into prison. When Car-
thage was taken it was blotted from ihe map ol
nations, and all its inhabitants, who were not
killed in battle, were add as slavea. The war
aEalBstporintb was one of devastation, and tbe city
was razed to the ground. In these wars every
human belog, not slain, became a slave
or an exile. He would skip over 2.000
years to the present Christian civihzaiion.
When the late American war olnssd, a war tbat of
(ill others waa most likely to excite the passions and
prejndieea of men— civil war — the only prisoner
held in custody, and he the inutisator ot tbe rebel-
lion, was treated according to tbe most refined laws
o£ humanity, the newspapers spoke of the ventil-
ation of his place of confinement at Fortress Mon-
roe as being imperfect, and leading Bepnbliuans
became his bondsmen. Tbe causn of this difference
between ancient and modern warfare and the treat-
ment of the vanquisfied, tbe speaker declared was
not to be attributed to civilization only. The an-
cients, he said. had a civilization of their
own. To know how nations treat their f'^llow*
man it was necessary to know how man regards
hia frllow-man. The religion of tbe ancients was
national and not general. Eachpation had Its spe-
cial gods and nacriflcial forms. It was tbe aim and
duty of nattoQs to destroy neizhborlng States and
difierent divLiities.- Tbe ancient woil4 reoognized
no such thing as a human natore, a brotherhood of
man. Plato and Ariatptle tangbt that foreigners
were natural slaves. There was nothing In common
hetween States, and iuterpreters were as rare tben
as they are now between savaee tribes. War or
IsoladCn was the necessary condition 'of ancient na-
iiona. The peonle were proud and savage in their
digpoaitions. Ylrifil predicted an age of gold
when commerce would be a crime which will disap-
pear. Commerce and other pursuits were despised
as ignoble. Tbe shops tbey considered no place
foraAreeman. Katious met more in battle than iii
peace, and had no communication save that wbich
grew out of war. What was war in those days?
What did polytheism mean) Tbe goda had hostile
passions deeper than men themselves. Tue priests
eonsulted the augurs, and if they were propitious
war was .declared. The gods were greedy. Spoils
of battle were hung on their sbrines. Tbe very ex-
istence of a nation was staked on tbe
superiority of its gods. The revolution
thaf f jllowed the capture of a city
was more complete than modern belief could con-
ceive. The purpose of war waa to destroy tbe
stranger. Tbe universal law of tbese ages gave tbe
vifitor the right to take' the life of his cap live.
When Christ exclaimed, " It hatu been said, an
eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," He simply
r' ".libed the state of tbe law as ic then existed.
>* uen He propotmded tbe great doctrine, " Love
yuur enemy," He erected a standard of moral law
never before preached, much leas practiced. The
ancient system of religion was based upon tbe
teachings of alien and hostile gods. The Chriatian
character is heroic and divine. Christianity is an
institution and an auttionty as well aa a
doctrine and a faith. It was donbtfnl, however,
whether these causes, powerful as tbey are, would
have lea to the»e changes, but that the counoils of
the Church, as early as the sixth century, had in-
troduced tbe best forms of representative govem-
mont, wbich weie models of nniverual representa-
tion. This example inficenced other nations to
adopt tbe representative system as founded by
the Christian Church.
After the meetlnt; tbe Trustees and Direotori of
the society tendered Mr. Dana a recentian at the
house of Bishop Littlejohn, No. 170 Bemsen street.
BEOEPTIOJr OR, IRE GEOQEAPHIOAL
SOCIETY.
The American Gleographical Society held a
reoeptiOB at their new rooms, No. 11 West Twenty-
ninth street, last evening, the occssion being the
formal opening of their new head-quartera. The
society formerly occupied rooms in the Cooper In-
stitute, but as it grew in numbers and importance,
it was found tbat more commodious rooms were re-
quired. In July last their present quarters were
purchased at a cost of $40,000, the money being
raised by subscription among tbe members and
I'neuds of tbe society, but formal possession was
dela.ved in order to remodel and repair tbe rooms.
The building is large and commodious, and fully
adapted to tbe wants of the nociety, which at the
present time has a membersblp of about thirteen
hundred It was expected tbat Chief Justice
Charles P. Daly would deliver the opening address,
but owing to a severe illness, whlrh cnnQned bim to
his house, he was nrevented from doins so. Mr.
T. B. Myers introduced the speaker of the even-
ing, Bev. Dr. Bellows, who Hpoke at some length,
reviewing the history of the society and its progress
from the date of organization to the present day.
He also paid a hitcb tribute to the interest tbat
Judge Daly had takeu. and the efforts be had put
forth, in behalf of the advancement of the society.
At the o.ose of the reception the guests aat down to
a bountiful repast, to whicu ample Justice was
done. The society is free from debt, and has a bal-
ance on baud of 14,200.

Mr. John Drew, the young comedian at-
tached to the l^fth Avenue Theatre, met with a se-
rious mlihap at an early hour on Sunday morning,
wbich gave rise to the report tbat be bad lost bis

After the performance of " Aa Xou Like It," on

of the Lyceum Theatre, Mr. Harktosun, and
one or two others, took supper at a

third atreet, and while on their way home sevoral
of the party were playinc at single stick, when a
cane which one of tbu tfontleuien was twirlin;!, dew
from bis hand and struck' Mr. Drew on tbe left aide
of bis face near the eye. His face is badly scratclied.
and the suffused condition of tbe wounded
part has prevented hia phyaiolans, Drs.
Leyi^oldt and Gaerneey from determiuiog
the exact nature of the injury. They
have been unable as yet to decide wtether or nut
any of the buues bave been fractured, bat ibey say
if they are that he will Drohaoly sutt'er from con

be effected without great disdsurement.

Section 5,204 of tbe Bevlsed Statutes provides
tbac no naiioual bank shall withdraw or permit to be
vclthdrawn, eitber in the form of dividends or other-
wi.'ie, any portion of Its capital. It also orovides
that tbe losses and bad debts shall be deducted from
the net profits before any dividend shall be de-
clared, and that all debts due to tbe association
ou which Interest is due and unpaid for a period of
six months, unless the same are well secured and
in process of collection, shall be considered bad
debts within tbe meaning of the law ; and this pro-
vision is construed to include stycks and bonds
upon whioh interest is past due, as well as promta-
Bor.v notes. The Examiners have been specially io-
•iTUCted to scrutinize tbe loans of the banks and
report the amount of the bad debts held by them.
These instructions have been carefully followed,
and the large amounts which have been charged
to pioflt and ioas may be justly attributed to their
faithful services and this wise provieion^of law.

This table represents returns from all the na-
tional banks trauBacting business which charged
lovses to profit and loss or surplus account during
the periods named; and it shows tbac tbe total
losses disposed of were, during the first period,
{6,510,169 82, and in the, si^cond period §13 217,856 60,
making a total of ^9.719,036 42. Tbe amount
Charged off by the N^w-York Citv hanks during
the vear was 16.873,759 97: by the Boston baoks,
$1,598,732 68 ; by the Philadelphia banks, $153,-
976 14; by the Pittsburg banks, 1333,851 56; by the
Baltimore banks, $876,207.32, and uythe Jiew-Or-
loans banks, $519,701 41. A small proportion of the
assets thus charged off will doubtless ullimatal? be
recovered, but there are still other couaiderable
amounts of doubtful debts held by the banks, and
it is estimated that an amount nearlv as threat wiil
be charged to surplus or profit and loss during the
ensuing year.
The banks in the principal cities have for three
years past held large amounts of currency as a dead
weight, wbicb greatly au.:ument8 tbe nominal
amount of deposit reported by them. There is no
Eroviaiou of law for disposing of this eicess, eitber
v funding, as onginaliv authorized by the
Legal-tender act, ot by redemption in specie,
eitber of ■vThich would reduce the amount
of circulatibu. The rate of interest pre-
vailing haSi^ therefore been unprecedent-
edly low, the average rate in the City of New-
"York for the three year^endiog June 30, 1876, hav-
ing been three and fuufftenths per cent, upon call
loans and five and eight-teotbs per cent, on com-
mercial paper, while the average rate dnnng the
year has been three and three- tenths per cent, on
call loans and Qve and three-tenths per cent, on
commercial paper. It it therefore seen that the
rate during tne fiscal year 1875-6 was somewhat
less than the average rate f jr the three years pre-
vious.
The batiks have thus held a large aniount ot
money whioh could not be used at remunerative
rates. The Government is receiving a revenue
from the banks which is more than equal to all
taxes paid by them before the war; while the States
are also increasing very greatly the burdens which
were previously as great a« could be borne. "With-
in tbe past two years savecty-one bauks, and
since tbe organization of the eystem. 207
banks, bave gone into voluntary "hquidation,
chiefiy on_ account of excessive taxation ;
and dniing the last year fewer
banks have been organized than in any previoua
year since 1869, and unless some favorable legiata-
tion is obtained, a large number ot bauks will re-
tire from the system to engage in private banking.
In previous reports the Controller has called the at-
tention of Congress to the faotthat tbe amount of tax
to which tbe national banks are supject (the average
rate, including State and patioual, being about
three and one-balf per centum per aunum) is much
greater than that imposed on any other capital in
the country. - The reason for this will be apparent
when it is remembered that tbe data tor the as-
sessment and taxation of national banks can al-
ways be obtained from their publiihed statements,
while the amount of the capital of other corpora-
tions, private firms, and individuals cannoti be as
aucuratelv determined. The tax on bank deposits
was essentially a war tax, and such Ino-
positious having been long since re-
moved from every other similar in-
terest, the Controller is fully of the opinion that
.Instice to all parties requires its removal from this
one also. The reoommeadation for tbe repeal of
the provision imposing a tax upon bank deposits,
and also of the one requiring the affixing of a two-
cent stamp upon bank- checks, is renewed if in tbe
judgment cf Congress a sufficient amount of reve-
nue far the support of the Government can be more
equitably derived from other sources.

— WHY THE UNITED STATES CANNOT
COMPETE WITH OTHER NATIONS.
■Washinqtox, Nov. 28.— The following ex-
tracts are from the report of the Secretory of State
upon the commercial relations between tbe 17oited
States and foreign oanntri^ts, tbe information hav-
ing ^een furnished by American Consuls aqd
others : There seems to be less koown iii reg8.rd to
the gold and silver mines of the Argentiae Bepub-
Ho now than there was 300 years ago. Under the
Spanish rule every adventurer to tbe Bio de la
Plata was a seeker after the precious pietais, and
the yield of gdo, silver; and copper was a
large item in tbe revenues of the Castilian
crown ; but since the introduetion and marvel-
ous propogation of cattle and horses upon the
pampas, the estancUro has superseded the gold
hunter, and of later years there has h.een little Ap*
comptiahed In^ the matter of operating the mines,
on account of constantly recurring political oommo •
tions. The mineral regions are so retnote from
Buenos Ayres, and so inaccessible, except bv means
of long iourneya overland, that full information in
regard to them cannot be obtaiued. Considering
tbe commercial and financial embarrassments under
which trade of all kinds labored durine the year
1874, that with the United States continued very
steady. In amount, the figures show that tbe
United States wa.% tbe fourth iq the list of nations
trading wi'h the Argentine Bepublic, iSuglaqd t)e-
ing first, ($31,405 823,) France second, ($19,836,237,)
and Belgium third, ($16,777,061.)
» In Cbina and Japan alike, great efforts are being
made to oust foreigners trom the domestic carrying
trade. In the latter country the. Opvernment is
said to have direct ownership in many of the ves-
sels operated by tbe native companies. In case of
tbe failure of tbe companies It is likely that tbe
chief losaoj would fall upon tbe Government.
Their vessels compete with foreign ships at tbe
open ports, and bave a sreat advantage In tbe fact
tbat they can visit alio unopened ports. I have
been told that Customs regulations are less strin-
gently enforced against native vessels tban fareign.
In Cbina the effort to displace foreign vessels is, a,8
ln,hink, directly encouraged by the Government as
a settled matter of national policv. The Mer-
chants' Cpmoany was founded at tbe in-
stance of Le Hung Chang, Viceroy of Chihli,
and has his direct and active support. It has been
asserted that some of tbe members of the Govern-
ment at Peking have a pecuniary interest in its suc-
ceaa. It is verv certain that the CeatralGovern-
mentiswall informed of its existence, and of tbe
means upon which it relies for success. The most
Important of these is the monopoly of tbe carriage
of tnbnte-rice. Tbe Coreans bava relaxed tbeir
trading regulations, and a considerable business
baa been done at the Coroan gate. No advance has
been made toward a general intercourse with for-
eigneiB. It was hoped tbat the late political revo-
lution iu that country would bring about this re-
sult. All indications now point to tbe prospect
that the Japauese will sooner or later get involved
In a war with tbe Coreans. "Whether this will re-
sult in opening Corea to trade generally, cannot be
foretold, as the Japanese oiay prefer to make
special arrangements for their own benefit.
The best way to open relations with Corea, would
be to arrange a convention with her for the urotec-
tlon of seamen, as contemplated by tbe department
in 1870, letting this be the beeinning of an undemon-
strative intercourse whioh would gradually disarm
the suf picions of the Coreans. ane brine about the
same results as. Commodore Perry's expedition to
Japan. Tbe failure of one mission was the result
ot a desire to get along too rapidly with the worji
that was in band, and to accomplish more than it
was quite reasonable to hope for. The prompt and
very gallant punishment of the Coreans for their
unnecessary attack upon our vessels, bad a good
effect, and will go a long way to secure the respect-
ful treatment of shiDwrecked people.
Tbe vineyards of France cover 5,220,120 acres,
wbich produced 1.804.175,000 gallons. The vintage
of 1874 show* an excess of 783,742.860 gallons over
that of 1872, aud may be regarded as a maximum,
having been surpassed only three times during
tbe last twenty-five years. The money value repre-
sented by tbe production of 1874 i« about three
hundred million dollars^ gold. The average
quantity for home consumption being 1 142,-
860,000 gallons, there remain 660,315,000
gallons for exportation, valued at $50,000,000.
One-tenth of the entire production is distilled into
brandy, and onchundredth part of the whole into
vinegar. The most important exports are made to
England, Russia, the TJmted States, South America,
and the East Indies.
The clesing of the year 1875 shows a large in-
crease of tonnage over that ot 1874 in the Naviga-
tor's Islands. Aa to Americans competing with
the Germans and Eaglish here in tbe South Pacific,
they cannot do it with advantage at preseut for the
following reasons: Pirst— The Germans and Bng-
}isb can get money to do business with at from three
to four per cent., while money with us on the Pa-
cific coast will be ten per cent., on good security.
Second — The Germans and English have a system
t'f long credit, more suitable to a trader doing a
barter business, who has t^ go from island to island
to pick up hia produce, and frequently wait frem
one to two years from the time he ouys his goods
before be can turn them into cash to make returns.
The system ou the Pacific coast is on a basis of
thirty to ninety days, and then interest begins.
Third — The goods and merchandise, after many
years' experiencevlu trade with the islanders of tbe
Pacific, have been manufactured to suit; the pe-
culiar wants and tastes of these people. It is
therefoie better for even American traders residing
here who wish to get a complete outfit to go to tbe
British colonies rather than to the Pacific Coast
States, although in lumber and provisions and some
other articles they cannot compote with the latter.
Pourtb— The system of bonded goods in the British
colonies is belter lor tbe trader tbau tbat of
the United States. The trader in the colonies
can pick out parts of packages or patterns
of printed cloth to suit him, in a wholesale house,
and is entitled to a drawback equal to the amount
of duties paid, whereas in tbe United States he
must take a whole bale or package, when frequently
through dull colors or bad patterns one half of the;
bale is unsalable, thus reducing his profits. I know
such a system is too open to fraud to be adopted in
the United States, and Ijable to abuse in tbe
colonies, still, that ia tbe priCe bid for this valuable
trade. Fifth — There is not a good market in the
United tjtaies for cobra and cocoanat oil, especially
cobra, aa it requires extensive works to oe erected
to mauafactuie it into oil.

GEN. BENET'S BECO-MMENDATIONS—INFERIOB
OKDNANCE STORES IN USE — THE LO-
CATION OP ABSENALS— GUNS FOR IN-
FANTRY SOLDIERS — SMOOTH BORES AND
RIFLED CANNON.
Washington, Nov. 28.— Gen. Stephen V.
Ben6t, the Chief of Ordnance, in his an-
ual report, recommends a large increase ot
tbe appropriations for the use of the Ordnance
DeparUueut for the next fiscal year over
those for the present year. He says
says the limited appropriations made by Congress,
much below the estimates submitted by tne Bu-
reau, bave in many instances prevented the supply-
ing of the Army on the frontier with that superior
quality of ordnance stores whioh the nature of
each service demands, and in the attempt to utilize
the mivterial remaining on hAnd from the late war,
every care and effort has boon exercised in its
selection and preparation to meet the wants of the
troops, but with more or less dissatisfaction insep-
arable from the use of old material and obsolete
patterns. Explanations to this efl'ect have had to
be made to the officers in command of the troops, in
defense uf the action of this Department, where
responsibility fur limited appropriations cannot rest.
The repprt recommends the retention of the Be-
necia Arsenal, on the Pacific Coast ; Rook Island
Arsenal, in the Mississippi Valley : tbo National
Armuiy at SprlnglielJ, Mass.; the Frankfort Arse-
nal, Pciiusylvania, and tbe erection of an arsenal in
the vicinity of New- York, out of tbe proceeds of
the sales cf those not required. The Allegheny,
Watervliet, Watertown, and Washiueton Arsenals
should De sold. The Indianapolis, Kennebec,
Portress Monroe, Augusta, and San Antonio Arse-
nals should be retained as places of deposit, repair,
and issue.
Upon the sub.iect of small arms Gen. Ben6t says
hedceuis it of. most vital imponauce that the
inauulaocure of small arms be steadily continued in
quantities sufficient to render a gradual accumula-
tion of ihem iu store a ceitainty. That a better
arm than tbe SpriDgfleld may someday be invented
is not at all improbable, and a magazine gun will
no doubt be tbe arm of the fatare j but until such
an arm suitable for the Military service bds been
perfected and approved, a reserve stock of Spring-
fields is a necessity. A necessity foi au increase
lu the appropriation for arming and eqnipping the
Militia of the country is represented. Under the
head of "armament ot fortifications" an estimate
of $950,000 is submitted for the next fiscal year.
The conversion of smooth-bore guns iuto efficient
8-luch rifles has proaresed satisfactorily. The
coiled wrooght-iron tubes used in tbe conversion
have been imported, but a trial of a gun witu a tube
of domestic roauuficture has given the best results,
and proved couclusivelv tbat our product is equal
to the imported, ootwithstandiug the 'long experi-
ence in snea work in English shops. Bependunce
cannot be placed on the private euterprisa and skill
of our own people for tbe tubes for 8-)nob rifles,
and in the preparation of guns of tbat nature
our material, labar, and macbinery will meet
our requirements. The Sincb rifle, with an
American tube, has suooessfully withstood over 500
rounds with battery charges, and still remains In a
MCTieeabie oondlUoA. Uj>.,t«. (Mttt thxao Kon* (rf

Sevenl experimental guns of large o;tIibre, both

Udder the act of June 6, 1872, have been on ezhibi-
tioii <it the Centennial Exhibition by request of the
respective inventors. It is the intention of the
department to have tbem removed to Sandy Hook
and ascertain tbeir merits by actual trial, as soon
as Congress appropriates the funds necessary far

The next move was one inaugurated by theCentnl
Cross-town Bailroad Company, thnmgh its oeami
ael, Simon E. Stem. On tbe tatter's applicatlea.
Judge Speir, id the Supefier Court, Special Tata,
issued an iDjonetion against tbe Xweoty-thuid
Street Railway Compapy, the Cbriatopber sbA
Tenth Street Railroad Compuiy, and tlie Bleeekev
Street and Fnlton Ferry Bailroad Company, z»<
straining them " from laying railroad taacks la

conbplaint in tbis suit recites that the plaUidff it a
corporation organized under tbe general railwM>
laws of the State, and as snob became tiie scsisBoa
of the rights, frapehises. and privileges eonferred
by chapter 160 of the Laws of 1873. In pnrsasaea
of such ksssignment, It bnllt, oonstrocted, aat

sing into Fourteenth street at the comer of ]foso4>,
way and XTnion square, or Uaiversity place, " with,
street curves tbereon to enable the plaintiff to ran

Tbe defendant, the Twenty-third Street Railway
Company, tbe plaintiff befievet is a oocporaUmk*
prganisod under the general railway laws and aa*
quired by purchase the rights conferred by cbaa-
ter 823 of the Laws of 1869 as amended by chapter
571 Of the Laws of 1872. By these acts the ContnA>
ler of tbe City was authorized to issue a eertifioatai
t-o S. A. Youmans, i>r his astigns, on payment o{
f 150,000. The money was paid, and the cenifieate;
was issued, and Youmans assigned bis nghta to tii»
Twent.y-tbird Street Company, whioh tJierenpoB
became autborized to obastpiet a railw^ thconch
Twenty-third slareefe By chapter 171 of tbeXaWa
j6t 1823, the Company wA authorized to make •iV'
tain extensions to the foot of Thirty-foifftii
Street, East river. The complaint of the platattC
then recites that, outside ot the powers thos ctoa-
f erred on the Twenty-third Street Railway Coiar
pany, the latter has no right to lay down aayi
tracks in the City, but is on tbe contiarT exioaaalyt
prohibited from so doing. By chapter 199 of thai
Laws of 1873, the coiaplaint sets fori fa, the BleeekfK
Street Company was authorized to extend its traeka
through certain streets and avenues, which are
mentioned. The leasing oftheEleecker Street Boad
to the Twenty-third Street Company is then recitad,
and tne complainant inusts that the BleeokeC
Street Company had no antboiity to make a laaae
of 'all its f'sncbises, inasmuch as tbe power to
make the lease was not expressed in tbe title
pt tbe act nnder which the, power was exBi^
ci3ed, and no po^er is <»nterred even iBf
the terms of chapter 199 of the Lawi
of 1873 to lease and construct the extension, or any
part of it. The Twenty-third Street Company.tt*
so. it is claimeti, has no power or right to ezenisa
the franchises of the Bleeeker Street Company, tb*
former being limited to tbe bmilding and opemtfsa
of tbe road hereitofore built vid opera|ed by it un-
der chapter 521 of the Laws of 167^ and chapters UO
and 301 of tbe Laws of 1873. Toe cM>mplaint recitea
that the Bleeeker Street Road leased its line and
extensions to the Twentv-third Sizeet Gompaav ia
October. 1&76. Prior to that time, however, tiia
Bleeeker Street Company's right to btiild and osis
the extensions bad been fbrfeiied by non-user nd
non-acceptance of tbe franchises conlerred opoa.
it oy the act of 1873. All the francbises, too.
of the Bleeeker Steeet Company, it u claimed.
baVe become forfeited by theoofflpany'siasidveoey.
The complaint then refers to the subieaains to the
Christouber Street Company of tiie right to tmU.
and operate a portion of the Bleeeker Street Cona-
pany'a extension, and asserts that tbe fjrmec bave
no right under any law to take a lease. It is th«a
stated tbat tbe Christopher aud Tenth Street Rail-'
road Company threatens to enter, and, by virtue ot
tbe alleged lease to it, to out tbe tracks 0% the plaia-
tiff and to cToai and curve into the same, aud t-bae
to Interfere with and trnpass upon the plaintiff t»
the damase of ihe latter. It is claimed that otaaptwr
38iof theLaws of 1375. amending chapter 199 of
the Laws ot 1873, and giving tbe Bleet^ker Stpeet*
Company the right to lease its road, is nnconsii;xt-

TRIAL OF TBE JMMOBAL SOHOOLUASTES.
(Jeorge H. Gaulier, aged forty, a Professor of
French literature at the Mount Washington Insti-
tnte, was arrested on Saturday last by Mr. Anthony
Comstook, agent of the New-York Society lor the
Suppression ol Vice, for having in his possession.
c^acene prints and publications. It appears tliat
Mr. Comstock aseertained that Prof. Gaulier baa
been in the habit of showing filthy piotures and
reading indecent books to his punUs and otheci
boys, and on proceeding to the rooms of the a»4
cused, at No. 1,212 Broadwjy, the Professor adj
mitted Lis guilt aud surrendered a quantity at
the ohjeovlonabie huokss and pictures. Tue arreati
took place on Saturday evening. Chief Clerk Clark, i
of the District Attorney's office, sent tbe papers be-
fore the Grand Jury, and procured three indieti
ments against GauliPir. The case was immediately
pushed to trial, and yesierday appeared on the
calendar of Recorder Hackett's court. Astlitwit^
District Attorney Bell proved hia case by Mr.
Comstock and a hoy to whom Gauiier bad shown
the obscene pictures. At tbe request of Mr. Howe,
prisoner's coansel the Kecoriler allowed the case tn,
go over until to-day, to give the accused an oppor-
tunity of producing some witnesses, who, it waa
claimed, were necessary for the delenae. GhauUex;
under the name of George 0. D. Gauibier, was ar-
rested in May, 186i by Special Post Office Aceob
Gay ler, foronening letters beloniiing to tbe atudeata
of tue General Xnedogical Seminary, of whioh in-'
stitutionhe was then a messenger. Ths prisoner
pleaded guilty, and Recorder Hoffman, at tbei
urgent solicitation of friends, suspended judgment tj
but the indictment is still among the records of ta»
District Attorney's ofSce.

A SELIO OF A BASK DEFATJLTBR.
'* Three foreolosnre suits brought by Herman
TThl, tbe Beceiver of the German T7p-town Savings
Bank were brought to trial before Judge Van
Vorst. In Supreme Court, Special Term, yesterday.
Only one of tbe caaes, however, was of any pnblio
interest. The suit in question wss against Betty
Mulhauser, and waa for the foreclosure of a mort-
gage of tl0,000 ou property owned by her. She was
tbe . owner of. premises between Fifty-ninth
and Sixtieth streets ^ in this City,, on
which the bank had tbe '- mortgage now
sought to be foreclosed. She sent down, by her
son, 15,000, te be paid on the mortgage. The money
was paid te Adolph Levinger, tbe defaulting attor-
ney Of the bank, who gave a receipt, id which he
agreed to have the money applied in paying ofi and
reanoing tbe mortgage. " In oonaideratloa where-
of," he ciontinueo, "I agree to prooare from said
bank, at its next meeting, a release of tbe property
in Sixtieth street to the depth oMlO feet, 10 loobes.^'
The Board of Direofors of the bank did pass a reso-
lation directing such a release, and a qaeatlon of
fact now arises as to whether the release waa
delivered. The defendant claims it was
executed and delivered to ber son, but tbat afier-
ward, desiring to raise |1,500, which was m fact
adyanoed to bim by Levinger, he returned tbe re-
lease, LeviDger agreeiog to apply to the bank for
this loan. The plaintiff olaimed that no such release
wsis made, and that the leoeiving of the (5,000 was
Levinger's private act, as was also bis loan of
$1,500. Mra. Mulhauser claimed that her prope^y
was released to tte extent of one-half of tbe mort-
gage, and that the transaction between ber aon and
Levinger was a private matter between them,
though she is perfectly willing to pay back to
Leyinger the 11,500. Jndge .Tan Vorst took the
papers, reserving his decision.
A 8V1T AQAINST JAT etOTJLD.
'i The snit of Samuel Sloan and others against
Jay Gould and others. Directors of the New-Jersey
Soathem Ballroad Company in 1873, was brought to
trial before Judge Donehne, in Part III. of the Sn.
premt Conrt, Cifcait, yeBtetday. . The action tras
brought to recover 11,877 79 for oarpets furnished
by tbe plaintiffs. Aooordlng_to the story of the
latter, Gould was, inl873, tbePresideot of tbe New
Jersey Southern Bailroati Company, and purchased
the Bast Bnd Hotel at Long Brai>ch. which be
fitted np as an excarsion hoase. The carpets, fbr
whose value the suit was brought, were among the
goods with which the bouse was fitted up. It was
proved ttiat the title to the hotel stood in Gould's
name. For tbe defense Gould claimed tbat he held
tbe property simply as Trustee for tbe railroad
company, and that the goods were furnished to tbe
hotel onder tbe direction of the company's offioera,
who, he claims, are responsible. A )ury inal
was waived by both parties to the siut. Judge
Donohne took the papers, reserving his decision.
Edmund Coffin, Jr., appeared for the plaintiff and
Thomas G. Shearman for the defendant.
A LIEN ON A BAILROAD.
^ The- ease ot Lewis D. Bucker against the
New-Terk, Honaatonio and Northern Ballroad Com-
pany came before Judge Lawrence, in Supreme
Courts Chambers, yesterday on a motion te oenfirm
the report ot Judge Freedman, the Beferee in the
auit. It appeared that there was a company of the
name of the defendant. Incorporated In 1863. It
built about five and a half miles of rosd, and then
eonsolldated under tbe same name with the South-
ern Westchester Ballroad Company. The consoli-
dated company has done nothing in tbe way of
building. Backer was induced to take the presi-
dency of the old road, and consolidation was carried
out against his wishes. Tbere were some bonds Is-
sued, but there are none now outstanding. Buoker
biiBSslf advanced about $108,000, and bas obtained
judgments agirregating that amoanf. Besides these
he also holds, by »8sigomeat, a Indgment obtaioed
by tbe New-Tork Loan and Indemnity Company for
$27,000. He desired to have his Judgmsnts declared

" The 8tock market to-day showed some
SIXTHS of imDrovement, bat the advance in
prices was not of a decisive character or such
as to warrant the oonolusion that anything like
a radical change in the temper of speculation
has taken place. A change for the better to be
permanent most be based upon an improve-
ment in the business situation, and that it is
agreed upon all hands we are not likely to wit-
ness until tbe present political agitation shall
have ceased and all fears of civil disturbance
removed. Tbe transactions were on a small
scale, Smoimtinji to only 87,941 shares, which
included 21,100 Lake Shore, 13,800 Western
Union, 11,600 North-western, 9,600 Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western, 6,650 Ohio and Mis-
sissippi, 6,200 New-Jersey Central, 5,100 Rook
Island, and 4,800 Wabash. The strongest
stocks on the list were tbe North-western
shares and Book Island. North-western
common rose to 35^ and the pre-
fered to 55%, with closing sales at
35V^ and 59^, respectively. Information of a
semi-offloial character leaves no doubt that the
forthoomini; report of the North-western Com-
pany will show the corporation to be in a
sound financial condition, and that a dividend
vrill be paid on tbe preferred stock In Decem-
ber. Bock Island rose Irom 98^ to 100^ and
closed at 100. Western Union moved up from
71% to 72\ti, but at the latter fijture a selling
movement was developed and the price
closed at 72. The St. Paul shares, Mlch-
lo^-n Central and Union Paoido were
slightly higher than yesterday. Hannibal
and St. Joseph preferred advanced 1 ^ cent,
selling at 27. The coal stocks were higher in
the early dealings in sympathy with tbe gener-
al market, but subsequently lost the improve-
ment, New-Jersey Central being particularly
weak. A notioeable fsatore In the day's busi-

At a meeting of the stodkholdtos of .the Bti«>f
Railway Company, held attbe company's offioo"
to-day, the following tisket of Directors tor
1876-77 was elected without opposition, Mr.
S. L. M. Barlow voting on 320,000 shares and
Mr. H. J. Jewett on 160.000 shares: H. E.

Packer, Cortland c Parker, Homer Ramsdell,
M; O. Roberts, Samuel Sloan, H. G. Stebbins,
G. P. Talman; and J. Lomber Welah.
Money was in good supply to-day. The early
business was at 3 '94 V oeht., followed by an
advance to 5 ^ cent., and at the close by a de-
cline to 3^4® 4 ^ cent. The national bank
notes received at Washington for redemption
to-day amounted to $420,000. The following
were the rates of ezohai^e on New- York at
tbe undermentioned oitlfis to-day: Savannah,
y* offered ; Charleston, offerings light, nomi-
nally !% @ \4 discount baying, and selling psu:}
Cincinnati, dull, |1 disconnt; New-Orleans,
commercial, 9-16, and bank, 14 discodixt; St.
Louis, $1 25®|1 75 disooont, and Chicago, |1
discount.
Tbe sum of $200,000 six per sent, bonds held
to secure bank circulation was withdrawn &om
the Treasury at Washington to-day and 4^ F
cents, substituted.
The foreign advices reported a firm market
for British Consols and an fdvanoe in United
States bonds, which was well maintained to
the close. Consols, both for money and the
account, closed at 95% 'S,95'ii ; United States
1865s, old, at 103Mi'3>103% ; 1867s at 109^®
109% 5 10-40S atlOT-JHIs®^?^, and new 5s at
106^. Erie common IfkdTanoed to 9V&, the pre-
ferred being steady at 16^. French Rentes de-
clined from 104f. 87 ^4c to IMf. 72\4o. The Bank
of England lost £324000 on balance to-day. a
large portion of that sum being probablj with-
drawn for shipment to this coimtry.
The sterling exchange market was weak,
the continued offerings of commercial bills in-
ducing drawers to sell at larger oonoessions.
The counter rates remain at |4 82 and $4 84,
but prime banker^ bills are obtainable at
$4 81V4®$4 8H4 for sixty days, and at
|4 83®$4 83Vi for demand. >
The {fee sales of gold yesterday afternoon
based on tbe contihued heavy shipments of
specie from abroad, ooupled with tba absenoa
of any short interest of consequence, oauaed a
decline of \4 ^ cent, in the price to-day. The
opening sales were at 109, whence the price
dropped to IO8I1&, \yith closing transactions at a
recovery o£ ^ ^ cent. Another influence
which tended to weaken the market was the
superabundant supply of cash gold, holders of
which paid as high as 4 ^ cent, in some in-
stances to have balances carried.
The decline in gold led to only a slight fall-
ing off in the prices of Gofernment bonds.
This was due to tbe great strength of securities
atLendon, and to the demand which invariably
sets in after a decline. The features of the
market were 1867s and new 5s of 1881, in which
the transactions were on a laree scale early m
the day, the former being taken in round lots
at 115%®115%, and the latter at 112V6®112V4.
New 18653 sold down to 112%, and sixes ot 1881
to 116%, for registered, and 117% for
coupon. Sales ot . 1865s, old, were
made at 109% ' for both classes. In
railroad mortgages the transactions reached a
total of $257,000, some important changes tak-
ing place. There was a further sharp advance
in Toledo and Wabash, the improvement rang-
ing from 1 to 3 F cent in tbe different
issues. Firsts sold as high as 103,'' St.
Louis Division 78, and Seconds 71 and
Consolidated Convertibles to 55, New-Jersey
Central Consolidated Firsts dropped 5 ^
cent, selling at 77^ against 82Vb yesterday.
Chicago and North -western and St. Paul
bonds were in good demand and brought
full prices. The consolidated gold ooapous
advanced to 97%. The
were somewhat lower
New-Jersey Central Firsts,
at 10914 ; do., oouTertible,
were lower, being quoted at 76 to 73, against
sales at 79 yesterday. Ohio and Mississippi Con-
eolidated Sinking Fonda declined 1 ^ cent.,
and Hannibal and St. Joseph Converti-
ble Vk ^ cent., to 81 and 80^6, respectively.
Harlem Firsts sold at 118, Milwaukee and St.
Paul Firsts and Chicago, Burlington and
Quinoy 8s at. 116, Morris and Essex Firsts at
117, and Cleveland and Toledo Sinking Funds
at 111. State bonds continue dull. Tennessees
were weak at 44® 44^. South Carolina new,
April and October, sold at 36, and Alabama 8s
of 1888 at 35.
The exports of produoe from the Port of
New- York for the week ending this date were
$6,133,047, against $5,549,352 for the correspond-
ing week m 1875, and $5,068,901 in 1874. The

■*./ '^ ■ ■ ' .. .
•fhe course of The TistES during the Pres-
dential c&mpaiiin has ^secured fw it hosts of
new friends, and has placed l^yoBTT' contro-
Tersy its position as the loremost Eepnblican
joui-nal in the United States. During
the political strasKle preceding the election.
tite fullness, acPoraoy, and laimess
<^ its news reports were as obvious
as its vigor and breadth of view
me an <»];ran ol public opinion. The critical sit-
'oanon m which the country la placed by the
disputed result of the election bas been prompt-
ly reooEnized by Thb Times, hut it bas found
no reason to modify'the claim which it urG;ed,
alon« auMnur ite oentemporaries, that the vote
of the 7th of November secured a majority oi
eleetora) votes for HATssand Wheblek. Read-
ers of The Ixhes on the day followiuK the
electiou were placed in possessiun of returns
"whio^j were simply the most complete and
trnrcworthy published in any part ot the^Union.
Tbf more thoroughly the foots of the eleotlou
Vj disentangled from the mass of Democratic
£r.lsabood and pretense wbieh lias been thrawn
ttfound tbera, the more clearly is the justice re-
vealed of the claims maae by Thb Times the
moming alter election.
Now that the election ofHATBS and Wheeler
fs perceived by impartial observers of both par-
ties to be a certainty, Thb Timks recognizes the
iresh responsibilities wbicU this renewal of a
great public trust imposes upon the Republican
party. The Times was among the foremost de-
&ad«B of the principles of purification and re-
fona within the party which triumphed
in the nomination of Kdthbrfobd B.
HA?a» at Cincinn%tL It jwill be as
pfjminent and as uncompromising in
iti demand for the eml>odiment of tliese princi-
^Ipleain administrative and legislative action.
}TOm electien bas fiiven ri*e to Constitutional
^Mmtroveraies. i^ose discussion mav last for
months to come, and whose settlement may tax
all the good sense, forbearance, and law-abiding
instineis of the people at large. It will
be onr constant endeavor to cor-
rect excited feeling Dy dispassionate
argnmant, to tlrge the supreme necessity ot
moderation and fair dealing, and ^o place the
responsibility for stirring up strife where it
b«>long8. But we shall do so without abating
«rae j»t of the just demands 6f a paity which
stands securely oa the right, ana of a people
the integrity of whose institutions depends on
a scrupulous obedience to the demands of law.
In the agitation of the constitutional ques-
tioiu whi<ifa have been forced upon public at-
tention by the closeness of the late election,
Ths Times wUl not cease to insist upon the
necessity ot some approajh to unifoi-mity of
method in the pioceedings taken by State
aud J«oal boards to ascertain the vote le-
gally cast for Presidential Electors aud
membora of Congress. It will defend
th* ijght of individual States to have the dec-
laration of their will, by the recognized authori-
ties of the States, protected by all the safeguards
Vaich have been thrown around it by the letter
of the Constitution and the usage sanctioned
'by its authors. But It will none tbe less
insist on the duty of Congress to
devise means, by Constitutional amendment or
otherwise, whereby citizens of the United States
may be protected, against virtual disfranchiee-
ment tlirough Impertections in the mechanism
provided by any State for securing an honest
count of their votes. While carefully avoiding
all that may tend to promote sectional animos-
ity among our people. The Times will urge,
with the utmost decision, the national duty
of protecting the freedmen and the
Northern immigrants in the South in
the possession of rights guaranteed them b.v the
Constitution. It will do all in its powej to
promote the policy of peace and co.ciliation
itween North and South, but will not lose
'IBi{ht of the fact that Northern confidence and
■flsnesty must find its return iu the enforce-
taetd. of even-handed justice and scrupulous re-
gaptd for the letter and spirit of the law on the
part of the South.
Its inflnence aa a leading exponent of politi-
«al opinion will tie strengthened by all that is
needful to enhance the value of The Times as
a daily record of news. The acknowledged
excellence of its correspondence by mail and
telegraph from all parts of the world will
be fnlly maintained. In the sphere of literary
and artistic criticism, of scientific, social,
and general discussion, it will address itself,
as heretofore, to the appreciation of the edu-
uatad and Intelligent classes of the American
people. IVwill be lively without being sensa-
tional, af^trressivu without being coarse ; at all
tiroes ift will strive to be fearless and in-
depen/ient m the championship of the
right. ^o theories subversive of the priu-
oipV^s on which {he oacredness of fam-
ily ties and the exi.stenco of society alike
Wfpose will be promulgated in its columns.
The TiMEB rejects all advertisements of lot-'
"terle^, of quacks and medical pretenders, and
of all other agencies by which the insidious
poison of vice is disseminated throughout bo-
Diety^ It will be in the future, as in the past,
a newspaper specially adapted lor family read-
hig.

•elected editciriale ou topics of national and
general interest from tne columns of the daily
issue, as well as a concise summary of po-
litical, social, and foreign news, besides
other features which recommend it to all
classes of readers, is a paper admira'oly
fitted to circulate in every portion of the Uni-
ted Stales. No Bepnblican newspaper ap-
proaches it in circulation, and it will- be the

' Tbe official canvass of Florida was com-
pleted yesterday, with the exception of the
one small county of Dade, which contains
only forty or fifty votes, and which
gave a-Eepublioan majority for Congress in
1874 of 13. The returns on their face, with-
out deduction or rejection of any sort, gave
a Bepublican majority on the Electoral
ticket, varyinglrom 36 to 43. This confirms
the statement made by The: Times
on the 9th inst. There is now only
the official count of Louisiana
to be finished, when the formal evidehoe of
the election of Hayes and Wheeler virill
be completed. In regard to Florida, there
is not a peg on which to hang the smallest
Democratic objection orcavU. The count has
been open and conspicuously, as well as
scrupulously, fair, and no powers in the
slightost degree questionable or questioned
have been exercised by the board.

The letter of our special correspondent
from New-Orleans should be read by every
one wha desires to obtain a fair idea of the
political condition of the State of Louisiana.
The absurdity of the Democratic objections
to the constitution of the Returning Board
is shown in the fact that the law prescribing
the duties of the l)Oard was passed by
a Democratic Legislature, and that
while the Warmoth coalition lasted
the members of the^ board were all Demo-
crats. The tables given by our corre-
spondent will illustrate how fully developed
was the system of Democratic terrorism and
fraud eight years ago, and how successfully
it bas been applied to the late election. In
fifteen parishes cited there were registered
this year 17,726 Republican votes, while the
number cast according to the returns of the
County Canvassers was only 5,758. Mak-
ing all allowances for the failure of some of
those who registered to cast their votes,
there is here a disfranchisement of at least
ten thousand Eepubllcau voters, a wrong
which it must be borne in mind the throw-
ing out of the votes of these parishes can-
not remedy. :
The effect which the disclosure of the
ruifianism of Louisiana Democrats is having
upon their friends from the North was ex-
emplified in the outburst of ex-Gov. Palmer
yesterday, over the testimony of Mrs.
PiNKSTON, and the sympathetic expres-
sions on the part of Gten. Smith, oI
Wisconsin, and Lyman Tkumbull. These
men, as well as most of their asso-
ciates, were evidently realizing tor
the first time the ghastly reality of the
stories which have l)een sneered at as the
production of the "outrage mill," the
" bloody-shirt" campaign, and so forth. Be-
fore they return home, they are likely to
see and hear enough to give them quite a
new idea of what a "fair vote" and an
" honest count" means in tbe "bull-dozed"
parishes of Louisiana.
On Saturday last a piece of trickery
in connection with one of the re-
turns before the Louisiana board was
discovered, which, if the board were re-
sponsible for it, would justly shake confi-
dence in its integrity. An affidavit dated
in New-Orleans, the 25th, was found in an
envelope purporting to have been received
the 18th from De Soto. It now appears that
the returns were not sent by mail, but
were brought to New-Orleans by tbe Com-
missioner. As the parish in question is
not contested, and the affidavit could
have no effect upon the result, it
is plain that there was no motive
for "tampering -with the returns," and,
moreover, anv one can see that if the board
had been quietly committing or allowing
sach a thing, it would not have disclosed
the evidence of it to its watchful critics
without any attempt at concealment. Yet
we have no doubt that this incident will
continue to, be " proof strong as holy writ "
to our Democratic friends that Mr. Tilben
has been cheated out of tbe vote of Louis-
iana.
The Sun calls attention to the fact that
one R. H. Gkiffi.v, claiming to be an ad-
vertising broker, oifers to insert advertise-
ments in its columns, as well as in those of
Thk Times aud other newspapers, at a small
advance over its owa rates. It states
that this persou, so far as the Hun
is concerned, is trading on false
pretenses. We need hardly add that he
has as little authority to represent Thk
TiMKS. Our advertising rates are absolutely
invariable, and any one who protesses to
bo able to make specially advantageous bar-
gains for the use of our advertising columns
promises what he cannot perform.
A correspondent in another column calls
attention to the record of Mr. A. S. Hkwitt in
' the case of PL-iJf'r vs. Qoode, ef the Second
Disn-ict of Tirginia, at the last ses-
sion of the House. It is a very shameful
one. Mr. Platt was clearly elected. There
was not a bit of doubt on that point. He
had a good majority in the returns of vobes
actually and legally cast. But the State
Boardof Canvassers, exclusively Democratic,
threw out all the votes of Prince George
County because the name of the clerk was
not written in one place on his return
where it might have been written, though
another return, under the seal of the County
Court, perfect in every respect, and cou-
taining the word omitted from the first,
was at the time before the board. Ou this
flimsy technicality, the board based a
deliberate, intentional, and outrageous
fraud. When it came before the House,
ou a majority report in favor of the
rightful claimant, a leading Democrat
declared that to give the seat to
GooDK would be "the bolde-st out-
rage on the people of a Congressional
district ever perpetrated." But it was pet-
TMJtratAd. and Hewixi vofced foi it. He has
lately put up a prayer hy telegraphrthat
God would give to Wade Hampton all the
wisdom that gentleman needs r perhaps he
had better aek leave to amend by praying
for a little of the honesty and decency of
which he so sorely stands in need himself.
Several street railroads, we should not
like to say how many, are contending over
the right to put down a double track along
the Fourteenth street side of Union square.
One of the corporations, claiming a fran-
chise under the charter of a bankrupt con-
cern, tore up the pavement and began
operations at daylight last Friday. This
was done without a permit from any Muni-
cipal officer, and on the bare authority of a
doubtful claim. An injunction stopped
the work, and a series of injunctions
and cross suits -has plunged the Whole
case into a maze of legal confusion which
a layman cannot hope to understand.
Meantime, the street is torn up, and
is barricaded for a considerable dis-
tance with a wall of displaced paving-
blocks. The workmen have abauboned the
field, and the disturbed pavement, half-laid
rails, and muddy trenches quietly await,
subsequent proceedings. Who is re-
sponsible tor this intolerable nuisance
we cannot undertake to say. If there is
no branch of Ihe City Government with
authority to put that street back into its
proper condition, it is high time that one
were inyented. The whole proceeding,
from first to last, is a striking illustra-
tion of Municipal imbecility.
THE TIMES AND THE ELEC HON NEWS.
We make no apology for asking our read-
ers to look at a few facts bearing on the
way in which the hews published by The
Times regarding the election has been
shown to be correct. One of the chief
things for which a daily paper is bought is
its news. If that is ciMsefully collected and
clearly stated, a great many persons will
take a oaper who do not agree with its
opinions or do ii,ot core for them. It is
quite proper, therefore, when a paper has
been successful in getting for its readers
accurate information touching an important
event which was surrounded with great
confusion, to call attention to that fact.
On the morning after election, three weeks
ago to-day, The Timks, in its principal
edition, stated that the election of President
was in doubt, owing to the lack of conclu-
sive dispatches from Florida. It announced
that Mr. Tildex had secured 184 Electoral
votes and Gen. Hayes 181. In the former
■were included the votes of every State
which has siiice been conceded to Tilden.
In the latter were included the votes of the
following States, all of which were either
given to TiLDKN or declared doubtfdl by the
other newspapers of this City : California,
6 ; Louisiana, 8 ; Nebraska, 3; Nevada, 3;
Oregon, 3; South Carolina,? : Wisconsin, 10.
One after another, all of these States, except
Louisiana^ have since been giv^n to Gen.
Hayes, and in Louisiana the result of the
official count can^ hardly be said to be in
doubt.
How was it with the other daily morning
papers of New-York ? The principal Dem-
ocratic organ, the Sun, headed its columns
with these words, "The President Elect,"
under which was a cut of Mr. Tilden,
representing his face beaming with happi-
ness. It claimed for Tildex California,
Florida, Oregon; and Loiiisiana, all of
which it must now surrender except the
last, and must shortly sun-ender that. The
Herald presented its " compliments to Presi-
dent Tilden," and read him a labored lec-
ture ou the duties and responsibilities to
which it supposed that he had been called.
The World started its news columns
with the heading, " Tilden Triumphant."
It claimed Wisconsin, which it has
had to give up, Florida, which it will give
up to-day, and Louisiana, which it must
give up sooner or later. It was in doubt
about California, Michigan, Nevada, Ore-
gon, and South Carolina, concerning all of
which The Times' readers were furnished
with conclusive and trustworthy informa-
tion. Last, and least, the Tribune pro-
claimed ou its editorial page, " Mr. Tilden
President," and followed the proclamation
with a stupid essay, in which it took back
nearly all it had plucked up courage
to say against that gentleman during tbe
canvass, and made a silly and obvious bid
for his favor in the future. In its news
columns, it made the great blunder of giv-
ing Winconsin to Tilden, while it declared
that New-Jersey was m doubt. It also
placed in the doubtful list California, Ne-
braska, (which was about as uncertain as
Kansas,) Nevada, Oregon, and South Caro-
lina, the actual result m all of which
States was given by The Times.
We have received from Republicans all
over the country expressions of thanks for
what they are pleased to call the firmness
and pluck with which we stood by the suc-
cess of the Republican ticket. But it was
not a question of party fidelity. It was a
question of confidence in our own agencies
for collecting the news from every cor-
ner of the Union. We believed that
these were numerous enough, and had
been arranged with sufficient care
and thoroughnes4, to warrant us in making
the clear, complete, and detailed statement
of the result which we did make on the
morning after election. We venture to point
out that now that all attainable evidence
is.in, three weeks after our statement was
issued, its eutire correctness is established.
We also take the liberty of indicating that
a considerable part of the value of our
news lay in the manner iu which it was
interpreted. We do not deny our intense '
interest in the Republican Party, and our
hearty sympathy in what it is fashionable
to sneer at as " partisan feeling "; but in
the matter of news, we have sought to act
with cool and impartial judgment. Our
readers can judge how far, in comparison
with our contemporaries , wo have succeeded.
DEMO'JEATIC RESISTASCE TO AU-
THOR I'll'.
The assembling of a State Legislature
under the protection of United States
troops is not a spectacle of which Ameri-
cans can be- proud.. The question to be
considered is, was thepreseuce of the troops
at Columbia yesterday rendered necessary
by events, and to whom may the responsi-
bility for the events be Justly attributed f
The Constitution and laws of South Caro-
lina vest in a Board of Canvassers authority
to count the returns, and, if protests be
made aud contests arise, to scrutinize the
returns judicially, and to report their con-
clusions to the Secretary of State. The
votes for the Governor and Lieutenant Gov-
ernor are excepted from this' rule, and are
counted by the Legislature ; and that body
also determines the title to any seat which
may be disputed by a minority candidate in
a district for which certificates have been
regularly issued by the Secretary of State.
No one alleges that the Board of Can-
vassers was not lawfully and regularly con-
stituted. Its functions are defined, and the
time within which it may lawfully act is
limited. Its members obeyed the law by re-
serving for the canvass by the Legislature
the returns relating to the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor. They proceeded with
the other returns, andfound that by varying
majorities on the total vote of the
State, the Republican Presidential Electors
were elected. Protests were received against
the returns from Edgefield and Laurens
Counties on the ground that the election in
those counties had been rendered void by
intimidation, violence, and fraud ; and the
board having ascertained the truth of the
allegations, excluded the returns from these
counties from the count for members of the
Legislature and the minor State officers.
The result was a declaration that fifty-nine
Republicans and fifty-six Democrats had
been duly elected to the House of Repre-
sentatives, and' the board having so report-
ed, certificates were issued by the Secretary
of State to the duly designated members
elect, as well as to the Republican Electors.
So far, everything is on its face regular and
clear.
The Democrats, however, had sworn that
they would acquire control of the State.
Wa k Hampton had vowed " by the
Eternal" that none but he should be the
Governor. The action of the board in ex-
cluding the counties of Edgefield and
Laurens frustrated both purposes. What
was to be done f The Democrats invoked
the interference of the Supreme Court,
having previously established relations
with two of the three Judges, whom
they • had in times past denounced
as scoundrels. Judges MosbS and Willard
fulfilled their part of the understanding,
and granted in substance all that the Dem-
ocratic lawyers demanded. The applica-
tions made and the orders issued have no
parallel in the recorded practice of any
court in Christendom. They were designed
to rob the Returning Board of the authori-
ty vested in it, and to usurp the functions
for which it is made responsible. Before
the court had issued its orders, however,
the board had fimshed its work and ad-
journed sine die. The oertifi.cates it directed
to be issued had been issued by the Secre-
tary of State. Foiled and furious, the court
committed the members of the board for
contempt, and reopened their work to the
extent of permitting its clerk to issue
copies of its mandamus te be used as cer-
tificates by the Democratic candidates for
the Legislature for the two counties which
the board, in the strict line of its duty, had
excluded from the returns.
The Democrats proposed to make up by
force what they lacked in legal regularity.
They avowed a purpose . to take possession
of the Legislature, and, with the help of the
votes of members claiming to be elected for
the two counties rejected by the board, to
secure the organization, and to declare
Hampton elected Governor. A special dis-
patch printed iu the World yesterday de-
clared that they would " seat their rightful-
ly-elected members by lorce, if necessary."
In pursuance of the plan, more than five
thousand members of the Democratic
nfle-clubs mustered at Columbia, fully
armed, prepared to strike down the present
State Government, whose lawfulness is not
questioned, and to install the Democrats in
control of the Legislature despite the action
of the Returning Board. Here was, mani-
festly,the beginning of a revolution. The law
was trampled under foot. The authorities of
the State were defied. By sheer force the
Democrats determined to seize authority
aud to hold it, regardless of consequences.
At this juncture, the precautionary meas-
ures adopted by the President, on the appli-
cation of the Governor, came into play.
The Democrats took possession of the hall
of the House of Representatives, on Monday
night, with the avowed intention of keeping
their seats and resisting all attempts by
the State authorities to expel any of their
members. The rifle clubs gathered
around the State-house and domineered in
the streets. The danger of collisions was
111 minent, a"<*d once begun no one could see
the end. The Federal troops were called
into service and the Capitol plaxjed in their
charge. The Democratic members retired,
and the threatening crowds dispersed.
Never was Federal interference more ob-
viously necessary, or more completely vin-
dicated by the events that followed.
So the situation stood yesterday morning.
The presence of troops was still necessary
for the preservation of order and the en-
forcement of the legal requirements attend-
ing the organization of the Legislature.
The Democrats waited only for the oppor-
tunity to execute their threats. The State-
house, however, was held by the troops,
and the United States Marshal was present
to exact the production of the cerftficato of
the Secretary of State as the condition
of a member's admittance to the hall.
The certificates of the Democrats, from
Edgefield and Laurens, resting as they do
merely upon a transcript of a worthless
order of the Supreme Court, were declared
invalid, aud the Democrats withdrew in a
body, not without the formality of a protest
against " the military power" which had
baffled their revolutionary scheme. The en-
tire number of members is 124, but the elec-
tion of eight having beeu pronounced
invalid by the board, the actual member-
ship is 116; as sixty were present, it was
decided that they formed a constitutional
majority of the House, which forthwith
proceeded to the work of organization. The
principle of the decision has been too often
affirmed by both parties to te assailed, and
the organization of the House may, therefore,
be considered complete. Its title is not in-
validated, nor will its work be impaired,
by the intention of the Democrats to set up
a Legislature of their own. It wUl be seen
that they have begun the experiment recom-
mended by Mr. Clarkson N. Potter af ap-
plicable to the Presidency, and the result
we shall see. Whatever else may grow out
of it, the peace of the State will be imperiled
as long as the experiment lasts, and the
presence of troops will continue to be a
necessity. Lookine at the case as a whole.
it is clear that law and right are on the
side ot the Republicans, and that nothing
the Supreme Court of the State has done
divests the Democratic proceedings of the
lawlessness which is their principal char-
acteristic.
THE TVBK AND HIS SI Ml'AJ^lZEBS.
It is a remarkable instance c^the fatuity
of the Roman Catholife Church that its
sympathies— at least of the Ultramontane
portion— during the present Eastern strug-
gle are on the side of the Mohammedan as
against the Christian. When the Minister
of Foreign Affairs in the French Legislar
ture spoke some mild words in favor of the
Greek Christians, he was only applauded
by the Liberal Catholics, and received
coldly by^the Ultramontane party. So pro-
nounced was this that M. Lemoinne, the
well-known editor of the great Liberal
Catholic journal, the Ddbata, was moved to
to say that the Roman Church felt more
sympathy for the Moslem than the schis-
matic, just as they preferred an infidel to
the Protestant. '• There is at bottom," says
this writer, " a great affinity between the
Syllabus and the^Koran, and between £he
two heads of the faithful. The two sys-
tems are of the same nature, and are
united on the common ground of a one
and unchangeable theory." In Italy,
in like manner, the King and Liberal
Catholics are in warm sympathy with
the unfortunate Christians, while the Pope
and Ultramontane faction are believed to
be inclining to the Mohammedans. In Ger-
many, the bigoted Catholic representative
of Bavaria in the Parliament has severely
attacked Bismarck's Government for ap-
parently being in sympathy with the Rus-
sians, and has sought to extort a declara-
tion of the intended policy of the German
Cabinet toward Russia. The Liberal Party,
with great discretion, have supported Bis-
marck in his unusual reserve, and left the
course of events to his guidauce.
In the Austrian Parliament, so warm
have been the feelings over this matter,
that the Sclavic Party and the Pro-
Turkish Party have each selected two or
three orators, and have discussed the ques-
tion during three days. In Austria, how-
ever, race rather than religion divides men's
views on this subject. There are some six-
teen millions of the Sclavic race under the
Austrian Empire, and they and their repre-
sentatives naturally feel the deepest svm-
pathy for their sufteiing kinsmen in
Turkey. The Magyars, on tbe other hand,
and many of the Germans, dislike the
Russians and incline to the Turks. They
particularly dread the occupation of the
countries on the Danube by a rival Euro-
pean power. As we have throughout as-,
serted, this party in Austria is weighing
heavily in the scales against Russia's plans.
She must always consider the possible
enemy in the rear. It is true that Austria
would dread to act in direct opposition to
the feelings of all the Slovacks, Croats, and
various tribes ot Sclavonians under her rule.
But, on the other hand, the ruling 'influence
iu her counsels is Hungarian and German.
This unites in opposition to the ambition of
tbe Czar. The London Timea makes the
suggestion, often made in these columns,
that all the powers at the approaching
conference, though they might oppose Rus-
sian occupation ol Turkish territory, would
probably consent to a combined occupation,
or such an individual occupation as would
insure the Turkish Empire against Musco-
vite ambition. The Marquis of Salisbury is
believed to be not unfavorable to such a
scheme.
If, however, the Sultan discovers that
this is to be the probable issue of the con-
ference to be held on December 8, it would
not be an incredible result that he should
prefer the chances of war to such an occu-
pation. The Turk is not of a cowardly
race. He has been tyrant too long to
submit with grace. He may argue that
with the Danube in front, and strong
fortresses behind, his chances in Europe
were quite as good in open war as after
militaiy occupation. He will die, when the
time comes, like a soldier, and if driven
from Europe, the retreat will be like the
entrance five centuries since, over burning
villages and heaps of murdered corpses,
leaving behind nothing but desolation and
the hate of conquered peoples. It is plain,
then, that, though the chances from the
conference are in favor of peace, a spark
may kindle a terrible conflagration. If Tur-
key submit, Russia will be bound to give
up her ambitious projects, and a-settlement
of the Eastern question for • some years may
be brought about. If she resist a reason-
able settlement, she loses the sympathies of
Europe and the aid of England or Austria.
War then comes between Turkey and
Russia, not involving other powers — a war
which past history shows may be a pro-
tracted and severe struggle, but which may
end in what all humane persons should de-
sire, the expulsion of the Moslems from
Europe, and in constituting Constantinople
either a Russian port, or an independent
Greek " free city."
POCKETS.
A London magistrate lately told a woman
whose pocket had been picked, that if wo-
men would change the position and plan of
their pockets, they would not so frequently
suff'er from the depredations of light-fingered
thieves. This was a judicial opinion of
remarkable acuteness and exceptional value,
in so far as it indicfetod the true reason why
women are the favorite prey of pickpockets.
Still, it is one thing to point out an evil that
deserves to be remedied, and quite another
to designate the remedy. The court which
denounced the present female substitute for
a pocket did not suggest any practicable im-
provement upon it, and, indeed, it is doubt-
ful if any man who is not a professional
scientific person is fully capable of dealing
with so difficult a question.
Man is marsupial, and herein he is broadly
distinguished from woman. Nature has
provided man with pockets in^ his trousers,
his waistcoat, and his coat. The number
is not always the same, some men having,
in the aggregate, twelve distinct pockets,
great and small, while others have only
eight or nine ; but a man totally without
pockets would be a lusua natures. It is re-
markable* that pockets are not congenital,
but are slowly developed during childhood
and youth. The trousers-pockets, which
are earliest developed, seldom make their
appearance before the fifth year, and one of
these usually comes to maturity ten or
twelve months before its fellow. About the
eighth year a male child develops two and
sometimes three coat>pocket8, and two years
later the lower vest-pockets appear. Na-
ture then pauses in her work, and it is not
until the fourteenth year that the small
fob-pockets of the waistcoat and the watch-
pocket of the trousers are developed. The
appearance of the pistol-pocket and the
two coat-tail-pockets is usually synchronous
with the cutting of the wisdom teeth. When
thes0 have reached maturity, the normal de-
velopment of pockefts ceases — for the com-
paratively recent discovery of isolated
specimens of men with pockets in the sloeves
of their overcoats, apparently designed for
stowing away female hands, does not as vet
warrant any change in the scientific classi-
fication and description of human pockets.
Of the uses of the pocket it isunncces-
sary to speak, since we are all familiar with
them. It may, however, be safely asserted
that without pockets men would never have
emerged from barbarism. Handkerchiefe,
pen-knives, money, tobacco, latch-keys —
those articles the presence of which is es-
sential to civilization, and the absence of
which constitutes barbarism — manifestly
could not exist in any useful form had not
beneficent nature endowed us with pockets.
It is a significant fact that the higher a
man rises in the scale ot civilization^ the
more numerous become his pockets. The
red man has no pocket whatever ; .the Turk
has two pockets ; the people of the south
of Europe have rarely more than five, while
the man of Anglo-Saxon blood has nine, or
— counting those in his overcoat — ten well-
defined and practicable pockets. Representa-
tive government, fine-cut tobacco, trial by
jury, and revolving pistols are the precious
inheritance of the nine-pocketed races. Ig-
norance, superstition, and a general assort-
ment of miseries are the lot of those who
have not developed more than four or five
pockets.
Why nature constructed woman without
true pockets it does not become us to in-
quire, although the fact might easily be in-
terpreted as an evidence that women are
not designed to become the military or
civil leaders of mankind. It is sufficient
for us to know that the pocket,
in the scientific sense of- the term, is
the monopoly of the male sex, for
it is not yet established that even Dr.
Maby Walker has developed a really mas-
culine pocket. Emulous of the more gifted
sex, w^omen have sbriven to supply the de-
ficiencies of nature by art, and boldly claim
that the mysterious and unseen bags which
they carry concealed a'bout their persons
are virtually pockets. On this point the
distinguished anatomist Cuvier says : "The
capacious muslin organ generally called the
female pocket has none of the essential
characteristics of tbe true pocket. It is
situated a little lower than the placquet,
and forms a cul-de-aac, to whioh the plac-
quet serves as the entrance. It may be re-
mo Ved by the knife without any percepti-
ble efiiect upon the health, and it is plainly
artificial and extraneous." The same opin-
ion is held by all educated anatomists, and,
though we may admit that the so-called
female pocket is capable of containing a
large amount of handkerchiefs, candy, hair-
pins, and other necessities of feminine ex-
istence, its r^al character as a common-
place bag ought not to be concealed under
the pretentious title of pocket.
From the nature of its construction, this
bag is so easy of access to the shameless
pickpocket that he looks upon it in the
light of a storehouse, in which is laid up
for his especial benefit portable property of
more or less value. No one <will dispute
the dictum of the London oourt, that
women who place their purses in these
psuedo pockets invite pickpockets to steal
them ; but what other device can they
substitute for the inefficient muslin bag t
To require a woman to develop pockets
without a basis of trousers, waistcoat, or
coat, would be more cruel than was Pha-
roah's request that the Hebrews would
make bricks without straw. Women who
desire artificial pockets are limited to the
use of the treacherous muslin bag, and the
localitv in which it is now worn is declared
by competent comparative anatomists to be
the only one where such an appendage
could be securely placed, and remain at
the same time easily accessible. Tbe only
way out of the difficulty is for women to
abandon the vain effort to emulate marsu-
pial man, and to lay aside their muslin
bags. Thus will they remove temptation
from the pickpocket, and prove themselves
capable of accepting, without a murmur,
the mysterious law of nature, which lav-
ishes pockets upon one sex and withholds
them inexorably from the other.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A reformer by profession and a trick-
ster by practice.
Tvthe Editor of the New- York nmei:
A. S. Hewitt is a reformer. He is es-
pecially solicitous that no fraud in elections
should be countenanced, and that no man shall
be counted in to any office to which he has not
been honestly elected. At least this is what he
would like the public to believe, and what, as
Chairman of the Democratic National Commit-
tee, he loudly asserts. Let us contrast his pro-
fessions with his practice. He is a member of
the present Congress, which at its last session
considered and decided the noted election case
from Virginia of Platt versus Geode. The evi-
dence and report of the committee m this case
show the most outrageous frauds and counting
out of legal votes on the part of the Demo-
cratic election officers of the district in dis-
pute, and that the county officials had acted
judicially and reiected a very largo number of
precinct returns for alleged informalities, said
informalities having in every case occurred in
precincts givins Mr. Platt majorities, and,
without exception, committed by Democratic
election officers. Notwithstandine this wholesale
throwing out of Republican votes, the returns
from the district when all collected in the office
of the Seorelary of State were found to still
show a majority of 294 lor Mr. Platt The
State Board, exclusively Democratic, was equal
to the occasion. The Clerk of the County of Prince
George — a Democrat who had held the position
of Clerk thirty years and never before made a
mistake— had. instead of using the printed
blanks furnished by the Secretary of State in
making his return, written it out on foolscap,
and omitted to write in •ne place on the blank
the words " Robert Gilliam, Sr., Clerk." In
every other respect the certificate was perfect ;
and one perfect in every respect, under the seal
of the County Court, and containing the words
omitted m the first, was before the
board at the same time. Yet this
Democratic board rejected the vote of
the entire County of Prince George because
of the absence of the words given— throw out
the maiority ot four hundred and twenty-five
votes, the legality of none of them being ques-
tioned, and eoonted in Goode by a flctioioua
majority of one hundred and tMrty.«i«. Mr.
i-iatt contested the seat. From the very first
overv possible obstacle was thrown hi his mr,
but the facts were so plain that a mMority et
the Coinmittee on Eleosioiw of tbe Hoaae re-
ported m his lavor. Iu the debate on the ease,
l f ^^P*°°' ^^^ MasMcboTCtts Demaorat
who had defeated Ben. Butler, and who was a
meinbsr ot the Committee on Elections, used
the following language : 7

Such was the language of this bonect Demo.
crat, and every member of Congress, about to
oast his vote, knew beyond the possibility of
doubt that Mr. Platt was fairly elected and
entitled to the seat, and that Mr. Goode bad no
more right there than anv .other deteated can-
aidate. Yet. m the full knowledge of this fact,
105 Democratic members voted to retain Qoode
in the scat, and among the names so recorded
w'e find that of A. 8. Hewitt, Democrat^
Chairman ot the National Committee, reformer
and loud-moutlied champion ot honest elections
and purity of the ballot-box. In new of bis
record as an onacrapulous partiaa& bi Con-
gress, we think he should exeroiae a little
modesty in his pretensions, and be a little lew
violent in bis denunciation of Bepnbiioaiu. C

.—SENATOR MOBTOX ON TBE LEGAL
ASPBCT8 OF THE CASE.
SpeekU DiMptUek to the New-York Times.
^' Washiiigton, Nov. 28. — The question has
fieen frequently asked here to-night why the
Democrata should withdraw from tbe lower
house of the South Carolina Legislature and
not from the Senate. It seems from inquiry to
b* nothing mme than another instance. of act-
ing x^on a principle "when action promises
t* have a result, and letting the same principle
eo to the dogs when to stand by it would be
useless or damaging. With the Senators irom
Ijaoreiu and Edgefield Counties admitted, the
Sepablieaiis would still have a majonty of
three ia that hody. So the retiring of Demo-
eratio benators would not raise any question
of • quorum more than that, the Senators re-
Baaming, under a law of the State, Wotud de-
clare the deserted seat^ vacant. In the
Houses on the other hand, if the members &om
Edgefield and Laurens were actually elected,
the withdrawal of the Democrats would leave
the Hoose without a qooram. Now, the Demo-
erats claim that these men were elected, and
tii^at no. quorum was present to-day. and there
fatt the organization was unlawfia and nuga-
toty, and they wilj. claim that the subsequent
action in canvassing the votes for Governur
will be by an illegal body, and tberefore
Chamberlain's election will be void. Tbe
Democrats claim to have withdrawn from the
House becaaise the disputed members were not
admitted. If this were tbe true basis of their
aetion, the Democratic Senators should also
Iiave withdrawn. In tact, the withdrawal
from the House was only a device to raise an
ebsoure legal question. If the action of the
Betnming Board was lawful, then there was
eertainlT a quorum present to-day.
There is another curious feature of the situa-
ticm. The House might impeach the Judges of
the Supreme Court, and the Senate deterthine
to hear tbe impeachment. In that case tbe
Judges would be suspended from office pend-
ia^ their trials, and Chamberlain might
meantime app<nnt a new court, which
would take up and , eonsidar all pending
eases. This illustrates the great power which
the Legislature and Executive of South Caro-
lina can employ. Of course, the original situa-
tion relative to the law is unchanged. The
right or wrong done to-day all depends upon
the legality of the action of the Beturning
Board. If that was right, then all is right, and
at any rate what has been done cannot be un-
done.
Senator Morton says there can be no reasona-
ble doubt as to the legality of the Legislature
BS organized. The only question that can arise
Is as to what constitutes a quorum of ttiat
■ body. The Constitution of South Carolina pro-
vides that a majd^ty shall constitute a qup-
nun'for tbe transaction of business — the same
Bonstitutional provision as exists in regard
to Congress. The Democrats of South Caro-
lina in withdrawing from the Legislature con-
tend that they left that body without a legal
quorum, reckoning upon the whpie number of
members that may be chosen. This point has
bten settled by Congtess upon two occasions.
In 1862, alter the Southern Democrats with-
drew irom Congress to engage in the re-
jbeUioD, the question was raised as to
whether a quorum consisted of a majority
ef the entire number ot members provided
for, or whether a quorum consisted of a ma-
}sritv of the actual membership. This question
was raised in both houses, and after a discus-
sion which ran over to the next session, it was
fonoally decided in 1863 that a quorum of the
-twK) houses of Congress consists of a majority
of tho actual membership. Tbe same
question was presented to Congress in
1869, in the presentation of the vote of In-
diana npon ratifying the fifteenth amendment.
The Demooratio members of the Legislature of
that State resigned, in order to leave the Legis-
^ lature without a quorum, the Constitution of In
diana providing that two-thirds of tbe member-
ship shall constitute a quorum. The Legislature,
in consequence ot this withdrawal of the Demo-
erats, adjourned without passing tbe regular
appropriation bills, and Gov. Baker ordered
: sew elections to fill tbe vaouunes sad aoam
m^}}
convened the Legislatdre. The . appropriation
hills wera passed, when the Demoerats,in order
to defeat a vote upon the ratification of the
fifteenth amendment, again withdrew. The
Legislature thereupon decided that two-thirds
of the actual membership constituted a quorum,
■and proceeded to ratify the amendment. This
action was certified to Congress in forwarding
the vote of the Legislature on the ratification
of the amendment. No question was raised in
regard to it by Congress, and the vote
of Indiana as thus cast was passad upon and
counted. These questions are identical with
the question which the Democrats now raise
touching the organization of the Legislature of
South Carolina to-day, and furnisli preceileiits
which Congress cannot override in determin-
ing this question. Mr. Morton is entirely
clear that the precedents all sustain the
legality of the quorum of the South Caro-
lina House, which assembled to-day.
There seems to be a misunderstanding about
the character of the certificates or credentials
on which the members &om Laurens and Edge-
field claimed seats in the Legislature. It is
stated that they held certificates of election
from the Supreme Court. This is a mis-
take. Aroording to the information here
Judge WiUard refused to enter upon
the business of granting certificates, which
be had the curious good sense to say the
court could not do. Jndge Moses was applied
to, but gave no certificates. He told the claim-
ing members to go to the Clerk and get copies
of the mandamus ordering the Returning
Board to give certificates to those shown on
the face of the returns to be elected. These
copies of a useless order, issued after the faet,
were the only certificates held by the claim-
' ants who sought admission as members.
IS THIS A FAIE ELECTION?
THE WAT THE VOTING WAS DONE ^N
AIKEN COUNTY — A CASE FOE THE CON-
8IDEKATION OP ALL FAlB-MINDED MEN.
From an Occasional Correspondent.
Colombia, S. C. Sunday, Nov. 26. 1876.
Aiken County was taken from Edgefield and
Barnwell three or four years ago, and partakes ot
the bad qualities of both. Like tbe counties of
which it IS an offshoot, it borders on Georgia, from
which it is separated by the Savannah Biver. In
tbe late election it claimed a Democratic mujoritj
of 726. It had eleven polling places, among them
Hambtirg, the scene of the terrible massacre. In
accordance with tbe plan for eaptariog the State,
a la Mississippi, an attempt was made in adyance
of the election to strike terror into tne hearts of
tbe colored population, so that they wonld be de-
terred by tbelr fears from appearing at the polls at .
all. The day preceding the election a Bepablican
meeting was held at Hamburg, at which some ten
or twelve hundred were in attendance. While Dr.
Palmer was speaking a white man by the name at
Cobb drew bis pfstol, bit A. P. Batler, who was
present with some seventy-five red-shirts, made
bim put it up. As a row seemed to be impending,
the TTnited • States Deputy Marshal — Camplain, of
Aiken — who bad been personally threatened by
Cobb, sent a note to tbe camp of TTnited States
soldiers near by, and a detachment under
Lieut. Catley was sent. The Lieutenant
spoke to Batter, who told him tbat he
had advised his men not to interfere.
Tbe Lientenant replied : " I thought you were in
command of the men, and aa 70a are I hope there
will be no Interference, aa . I have strict orders, on
which I hope I shall not have to act." At 2 P. M.
Palmer left for the train going to Aiken. He was
followed by tbe re^birts, led by A. P. Batler, who
cnrsed and abused the doctor and his wife in a
brutal manner. A detachment of soldiers was
sent from the meeting. This saved tbe doctor's
life. At night tbe Democrats became uproarious,
and in the morniog of the day of election this band,
still under the command of Batler, surrounded the
polls. Colored men were struck, and everything
tbat coold be done by yells and threats was done
to prevent tho Bepnblicans from yotlng. At the
vaiious polls in this county no less than nine hun-
dred votes were cast by repeaters. Tbb repeating
was done by tbe red-ahiris and others riding from
noli to poll.
At Eonntain Academy poll, they came to tbe
number of seveniy-fiye or a hundred, and made tbe
managers keep open tbe poll until they bad all
voted — though it took them until 7 o'clock. These
men bad doubtless all voted elsewhere. There were •
200 fraadalent -votes ac thia precinct alone. At
Beach Island, on the Savannah River, a place right
on the edge ■ of Georgia, the red-sbirta
I'ode the night before tbe election all
through the settlement firing pistols and
shot-guns, and hootiBg. They secreted a large num-
ber of gnns near the polling place, which were
found by the coloied people the day after. Colored
men were shot at and the Eepnblican Supervisor of
Election was driven away from tbe polls by this
marauding band. At Graniteville tbe repeating
was done by men who came from Georgia a day in
advance of tho election. According to tbe affi iavits
of the managers and Supervisor, 200 fraudulent
votea were cast. In short, there are countless affi-
davits provl|ig that there was fraud at every box in
the county. In fact, so far as honest voting is con-
cerned, the election in Aiken connt.v, aa in many
other counties, was a farce and an outrage. G. N.

already widespread conviction tbat the Louisiana

THE OFFICIAL VOTES OF CALIFORNIA,
MINNESOTA, AND INDIANA.
San Fkancisco, Nov. 28.— Tbe Secretary of
State, last night, canvassed the votes of tbe State,
giving Hayes 78.608, . and Tilden 75,841. Mann
County is not Included in the count, the returns not
having been received. The resnlt will not be af-
fected, however. The Secretary of State says,
unofficially, there will probably bo a contest be-
tween Pacbeco and Wiggiuton, candidates for
Consress in the Fourth District, on the following
groandg: In Monterey Cbanty, tbe Supeivisars
canvassed and certified the returns to the County
Clerk. In that certificate an error in footing made
San Loreczo precinct show two more voces for
"Wigginton than were actually cast. The County
Clerk subsequently chauged the footings to corres-
pond with tbe figures. As Pacheco has but one
majorliy, It is expected that Wigginton will con-
test, on the ground that the ceroflcate of the
Supervisors was a finality, and the clerk had uo
right to change the figures.
The Kepub'.ican leaders say that if Wigginton
(Democrat) contests, they nave evidence on baud
of frauds committed by the Democrats in San
Benito. Fresno, Merced, and Monterey Counties, a
correction of which will give Pachoco (Kepnblicau)
a decided mtgority. Tbe frauds are alleged to have
been done in connection with naturalization and
regiatralion, and it is said that certain County
Judges are implicated.
St. Paul, Nov. 28.— The Board of Canvassers yes-

Mr. WilUaaison held tbe position of a
United States Commissioner, an office of

under the laws of the United States, to the office of
an Elector. The reception of the paper was de-
bated, and finally tbe board refused to receive It on

Kalbigh, Nov. 28. — The Legislature has

ery, 39.
The report telegraphed North, just alter the
election, of the murder of a nesrro in this coun-
ty by negroes, because he voted the Demoorat-
io ticket, turns out to be false. The Coroner's
jiuy. composed of Democrats, found that the
deceased committed suicide by hanging.
The total of&cial vote lor President in this
State ia 228,982, an increase of 33,611 over the
vote of 1872. TUden received 122,580 ; Hayes,
106,402; Tilden's majority, 16,178— a Demo-
oratio increase over the vote of 1872 of 26,000,
and a Republican increase of 8,000. This is
the largest vote ever polled in the State. All
irregularities were corrected, hnd the entire
vote was counted. Vance runs 4,000 behind
Tilden. Both votes will be declared to-morrow.

tested against the line of demarUtidn fixed by tbe
International Commission between the Turkish and
Montenegrin forces, and complicmtioos ars feared in

from ^ir Henry Elliot, tbe Ambassador at Con-
stantinople, stronglv denying a statement made by
the Pera correspondent of the 2ime« tbai he advised
the PoVte to hold itself in readiness to stand upon

mendations in Mr. Glaaatone's pamphlet for the
sxpulsion of the Turkish governing classes from
Europe. Mr. Carlyle also commends the Riusians

RUMORS OF MINISTERIAL CRISES.

PART OF THE COMPROMISE PLAN — HOW
ITS AGITATION MAY CREATE A CRISIS — A
CRISIS THREATENED IN FRANCK — A MIN-
ISTERIAL BILT. INCREASING PBIKSTS' STI-
PENDS DEFEATED— THE GREEK MINISTRY
London, Nov. 28. — A dispatch from Vienna
to tne Time* announces the existence of a Ciisis,
caused by agitation In Austria against the scheme
for tbe establishment of a hank for AnstriapHtm-
gary. This scheme forms part, cf the plan
known as tbs Austro-Iiunganan compromlBe for
settling tbe relations between the two halves of the
Empire, and has excited great dissatisfaction in
Austria as nnduly favoring Hungary. A commit-
) tee appointed, by the Austrian National Bank has
recommended tbe rejection of tbe Dank scheme.
A special dispatch from Vienna to tbe Newt says
there is much exciteaient there, as without an
agreement on tbe bank question a renewal of tbe
Anstro-Hungarian compromise is impossible. The
News also has a dispatch from Pesth, which says
the Hungarian Finance Minister has started
suddenly for Vienna, it is said by direct
command of the Emperer, to ' confer with
tbe Austrian Minister of Finance. The Pester Cor-
respondenz says : " Both Governments are resolved
to adhere to tbe Austro-Hungarian compromise as
settled by the compact concluded in May. The
Hungarian Government can make no further con-
cession without risking the parliamentary ma-
jority."
A Renter dispatch from Vienna says the rumors
of a ministerial crisis are denied la well-informed
circles, but the telegram shows that a very heated
feeling exists between the Government and the
Const! Cuticnal Party ia the Keiehsrath on tbe bank
question.
Paris, Nov. 28 —The Chamber of Deputies last
nigbt by 263 to S39 reieeted a vote which was sup-
ported by M. Dntaure, President of the Couooil and
Minister of Justice and Worsbip, for an inoiease
of priests' stipends. It is expectea that the Cham-
ber will to*dBy reject the grant whiob M. Bufanre
urgently demands for clerical scholarships. These
differences are thought to be 'important In connec-
tion with a threatened Ministerial crisis.
Renter's telegram from Atbea's announces that a
Ministerial cnsia exists. A new Cabinet is pro
posed, and a modification at lea^ of the present
Ministry is regarded as Inevitable.

THE BILLIAIW JOVRNAMENT.
JOSEPH DION MA.KBS THE BEST AVERAGE
AND WINS THE $500 TABLE— A TIE FOR
THE THREE HIGHEST PRIZES BB'TWBBN
J. DION, BUDOLFHE AND SX-OSSON —
THE GAMES LAST EVENING.
Tbe Delaney national billiard tournament
at tbe French game, wbich has bMn In progress at
Tammany Hall during the oast sight days, was ooa-
cluded last evening with a same— one of
the finest of the tournament— between Messrs.
Joaepb Dion and A. P. Rnrtdphe. There-
bave been In all twenty-one games played, as tbe
table printed below will show, and Messrs. Joseph
Dion, A. P. Rndolpbe, and George F. Siosson are;
tied for the first, second, and third piizes, acgre.
gating f 1,300. Mr. Albert Gamier wins the fourth
prize, t200, and Joseph Dion, having made
tbe best general average, takes the table on
which tbe games of tbe tournament
have been played, valued at $500. The plaTine of
all tbe oonteaumts has been 'throughout exception-
ally poor, but It muse be remembered tbat the balls
were tbe smallest ever used in a tournament in this
country, being 2 S-16 inches instead ot 2^ inches in
diameter. Tbe object in selecting these rmall balls
was to make tbe general play more difficult. It is
not at present known-when the tie will be played
ofi^ as Slosson hfls an engagement in New-Orleans,
commencing Dec. L and the players must mutually
agree on some date.
CTBILLB DION VERSUS DALT.
The first game was between Messrs. Cyrille
Dion and Maurice Daly, and was very slowly
played. Daly won tbe lead, and selected tbe
white ball, but neither player scored a point until
tbe third inning, when Daly made 11. His opno.
nent again failed to make a countin^stroks, and Daly
f llowed suit. From tbi.-j point notniuE worthy
uf note occurred until 1 he seventh Inning, when
Dion by judicious play added to bis score a neatly-
played run of 31, following it up with one of 24.
and two others of 13 each. At tbe end of the t^nth
inning tbe score stood, Daly, 47; Dion, 96. In tbe
twelfth inning Daly playwa some brilliant gath.
ering shots, and, getting tbe balls well fo-
getber, added to bis score a run of 48, which
leit him only one point behind bis opponent. Dion
atcain failed to ooimt, and his yaung adversary, who
was plaving a verv good game, rolled up another
run of 49, when the game stood Dion, 108; Daly,
144. Daly did not, however, maintain this lead any
length cf time, tor Dion pur. in good runs of 42 in
the fourteentb, 34 in the sixteenth. 34 in the einb'.-
eenth, 40 in the twenty-second, and clo.Bed tbe game
in the tWHrny-slirh with one of 7, Daiy having
scored 232. Following is the score:

JOSEPH DION vs. RUDOLPHE.
The contestants In the second and last regular
game of the tournament were Messrs. A. P. Rn-
dolpbe and Joseph Dion, and a great deal of inter-
est was manifested in It, not only by tbe players
and their friends, out by many others. This
was owing to the fact that should
Dion win tbe game, he. Slosson and Budolphe, would
be tied tor firsr, second, and third prizes, suinre-
gating tl,300, and if his average wassufficlenlly
large, he would win the table. Mr. Dudley Eava-
nagb was selected to act as Referee, and game was
called at 10: 45 o'clock, Dion having tbe lead. He muUe
a counting stroke from the snot and then tailed on
a simple cushion. Budolphe fared no better, and
for some time tbe game was very uninteresting.
Dion's highest run being 26, and tbat of his op-
ponent 29, At the end of the ninth inning the
game stood : Dion, 31 ; Budolphe, 50. In the next
inning the former gut tbe balls nicely together
OB the left-hand cushion ana began a careful
"nnrse," which gave bim 184 ooints, when the balls
"froze " and were spotted. He made tbe shot from
the spot, but failed to make the next, Rudolnbe
failed to score, and again Dion went
to work, and with tbe eighth shot
placed the balla together on tbe end cushion. He
" nursed " tbem carefaUy around to the side cosb.
ion ana this time scored 102 points. The g^me was
now Conceded to be his. and in tbe eighteenth in-
ning be closed it with a ran ot 12, Budolphe's total
beine only 76. Following is the soore :
J. Dion— 0, 2, 26, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 125, 102, 0, 0. 0,
0, 30, 0, 12—300.

tbe Holders of gold mortgage bonds and representa- ,
tlve* of tbe stockholders, anbsoription books to the
stock of the WABASH RAILWAY COMPANY have benn
opeaed by the nndersigni^d Trustees, and designated
tbn Purchasing Committee, at No. 52 William St., Room
No. 10, third floor.
. Shareholders of the Toledo, Wabash and Western
Railway Company have the op|:ion of subscribing for
Btook in the new Company upon the following terms
and conditions:
. FIRST— Surrender of tbe old certificates at the time
of subscription in exchange for tacelpts of tbe Pur-
chasing Committee, which will entitle the holder to
stoolc in the new Company, share for share, upon pa.y-
ment of ten dollars per share, in Installments of two
dollars, payable as follows: Feb. 1, April l,JuIv 1,
Oct, 1, 1877, and Jan. 1, 18;8, with Interest from Nov.
'1, 1876, or ',ne whole may be paid at once, at the op-
tion of stoekholdurs. ^
SECOND— Such snbsqriptlon mtist be mado within
thirty da.ys trom this date, or the stockholders will
forfeit all right to the new stock.
, THIW)— U allofthe stock is not subscribed within
thirty days, those who have before subscribed to have
tbe rlj^t to take a pro rata proportion of tbe Dalanoe
not Baosenbed for twenty days thereafter.
The Kold bond mortgage will be paid off and canceled
by the^l.OOO.OOO aubscrlbed, and the bank debt will
be extended over a period of five years. All lease obli-
gations and contracts are removed, and the new Com-
pany is thus substantially relieved of a burden of in-
terest ou more than $8,000,000. to which the old Com-
pany wss subleoted.
The road is iu excellent condition throughout, with
more than two tauodred miles of steel track, and its
equipment is ample for the transaction of a very large
business. The earninzs of tbe present year, to Nov. 1.
show a gain of $438,000, and the business of the en-
tire year is estimated at $4,500,0 )0.
The new Company will be managed for the first year
by the following gentlemen as Directors: JOHN W.
ELLIS, GEORGE I. SENBy, JAMSS A.- ROOSEVELT,
HORRIS R. JESUP, HENRY A. V. POST. K. H. B. LY-
MAN, JOHN T. MARTIN, JOHN S. KENNEDY, SOLO. <
HUMPHREYS, HENRY CRAWFORD, KLISHA A. CORAY,
CYRCB W. FIBLD, and WILLIAM B. 18HAM.
., As soon as the organiantion of the new Company is
oomoleted, a plan lor funding the overdue coupons of
the mortgage bonds will he suhmltted to the bond-
holders, and it is proposed to resume Interest om tbe
first mortgages early in the ensuing year.
The question of issuing bunds or other obiigatlons
for the subscription of ten dollars per share, will be
submitted to the stockholders of the new Company.
Thus reoonstmcted, and relieved of the difflcnlties
against which tbe old Company has so long struggled, it
IS safe to autlciDate a prosperous future tor the Wabash
Railway Company,

dropped in their sockets, Tbe hair of the head
was firm in its place, and tbe whiskers on one side

dry, woile tiiu budy emitted no odor more offensive
than that of carbolic acid. ITndei- the game treat-

TBE CHILBREi^'lS AID SOCIETY.
TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING — RE-
PORTS OF THE SKCRETAKY AND TREAS-
URER— c'ONDrriON OF THE SCHOOLS —
THE WORK OF THE YKAR.
The tweaty-fourth annual meeting of tho
Children's Aid Society was held yesterday after-
noon at the American National Exchange Bank.
Mr. William A. Booth, President of the organiza-
tion, occupied the chair, and Mr. C. L. Brace, the
Secretary, read the, annual minutes. Messrs.
Hooper C. Van Vorst, John E. Williams, Charles E.
Whitehead. David B. Jaques, ano Charles P. Klrk-
land were elected Traateea, in place ot those whose
term ot oEBce had expired, and the annual reports ot
the Secretary and of Mr. J. E. Williams, the Treas-
urer, were read and adopted. The Secretary's re-
port recites that the past year has been
the most important one in many respects
of the society's beneficent work, more chil-
dren having been cared for than in any previous
•year. The past twelve months had been a season
of aonsnal hardship for the poor, and of narrow
means for the well-off and the society bad to strug-
I gle with the doable difftculties of more work to do
and of less available means to do it wi.h. In refer-
ence to a proposed school amendment to the State
Constitation, tbe report says:
" If it merely excludes ' sectarian schools ' from all
share la tha -hobool Faml." and prohibits dosmatio
teachings, and requires every school receiving these
public moneys to oe 'under the rules and regulations
of tbe Stateor Cicv anthoriiies ot education,' It will
not affect our schools, which already comply with
these cnndltions." » * * '-But anothe- term has
been before the Iieglslatnre, requirin<? such schools
■ to ' bei'ing to ' or be ' tbe property of ' the Board of
Sdncation. Such a wording mi-^ht be embarrassinn to
our Industrial schools." * * * ' • The public schools
cannot. In the nature of tbincs. reach ibis untorta-
note class. Thev cannot feed or clothe them; tlioy
have no £icilities for cleaning them; they eannot
• readily teach them a branch of Industry ; they cannot
permit their neoessarr irregularity of attendance ;
th(^ do not wane vermiaous and rag(:ed children side
by side with the children of respectable mechanics;
tuey have no asents to pick tbem up, and their teacb-
era nave not the time or patience to reform them,"
An assertion made that children sent out West
by the society were "crowding tbe Western pris-
ons and reformatories" resulted In an investiga-
tion which certainly disproved the charge. There
have been provided with homes and employment
during the year: Boys, 1,633 ; girls, 1,717; men,
325; women, 314; total, 3,989; total sent since
1853, 44,378.
The Kisldent Western Agent, Mr. C. E. Pry,
gives a very encouraging report ot the work ot the
Emigration Department, saying that larger num-
bers of small children have been provided with
homes, and that the people seem mure eager to re-
ceive tbem than at any previous period.
THE SCHOOLS.
In relation to the schools, the Secretary reports
as follows :
"Mr. J. W. Skinner still performs uspful service hs
Superinteuueot of the Industrial Schools, faithfully
ez.imiuiug all tbe classes, and eadeavoriasr to raise
schools to the blshest ataodaril possible lor tbem.
• * * A 'Kiudergarten' is being opened, with tho
assistance of one ot our Trustees, lu our t^igbteenth
Street School, under Mr. Briant. Tbe Dight-schooU
hare been as weli-atteaded as Id unr pre vloaa year;
that at No. 93 C'rosbv street beiog crowded with a
very large bumber of little Italian boot-blacks, who
get no other scbooi-trainiug."

THROUGH THE STREETS — MORTALITY
6TATIS1ICS FOR THE WEEK— SANITARY
WORK FOB THE LAST QUARTER.
At the meeting of the Board of Health yee-
terdny the subject of driving cattle through tbe
streets was brought np for disoassion, on tbe ap-
plication of Mr. Levi Samuels.' on behalf of the
East Side Batchers' Association, for permission to
drive cattle through certain streets at certain
hours. Mr. Samuels represented tho difficulties
under which the butchers have labored by being
compelled to transport cattle by water from the
yards at Sixtieth street. North River, to their
slanghter-henses on the east side of the City. They
were often left a whole day wi? boat any cattle to
kill, aud tbe caitle ware frequently kept p<)nne!l up
on ooard the boats for twenty-four hours, to the
great detriment ot the meat. After some disonssion
the following resolution was adopted :
Sesolved, That on and after Dec. 1 the Sanitary Sa-
peiinteudent may grant permits for c ittle dniving on
Hleventh aveuue, irom Sixtlelh to Fortieth street,
and firom the ^Sixtieth Mtreet Yard, throucb the trans-
verse road at Slity-fl th street to Fifth avenue,
through Sixty-sixth street to First avenue, and down
First avenue to the slauftbter-bouses, the cattle not to
leave tbe yards before mitlnlubt, nor after 5 A. M,, on
condition that the drivers are orderly and quiet, an rl
that the ci-oss streets are cleaned daily before 8 A. M.
These permits to be revoked b.y tbe Sanitary Superin-
tendent on violation of the above conditions,
Prot, Chandler say* that the resolaiion is only
Intended as an experiment, and if any nuisance is
created by the driving of cattle aa prescribed above,
the resolution will be rescinded by the ooi^rd.

OOUFIL'S GALLERY.
Knoedler &, Ca. threw open their new gal-
lery, formerly Gonpil's, yesterday, with a brave
ahow of foreign pictnrea. The honae baa been en>
larged by the addition of two upper stories, where
a suite of handsomely-furnished apartments per-
mits tbe exhibition of pictures arranged as in a
drawing-room. The b^d familiar room\below, bow-
ever, is still more attractive. Here ii abcwn the
notable French picture of tbe year, Firmm-
girard's "Flower Market," This brilliant
and daring exploit in color oaaaed a genuine
senaation in Pana when it waa exhibit-
ed last Summer. It is an ont-dnor .scene,
fall of brightness, ontnot saturated with warm'h.
The prevaihuK tone of thb picture is that of bril-
liancy. There is no tenderness, nothing merely
suggestive, and scarcely any sentiment. The work
is a remarKsbie tour-deforce in color. Leas vivid,
bnt yet glowihg and warm, is a picture by Jiminez.
Tbe subject is a Cardinal's coacb halted before tbe
gray fi:9.*de of a chateau. The gorgeous fiverles of
tbe servants and the cardinal red of, coach and
trappings make a bright group against the 300I
tones of the building and walls. A tine touch of
art ia tbe indication of tbe near preaence of a
crowd of awe-strnck and carious villagers.
They are only suggested by tbe shadows aod
glimpses of them seen at the edge of tbe space
which authority keeps open about the equipage,
and the self-conscious flunkies. A rich interior, by
Alvarez, showing a group of figures clad in the
costumes ot 1793, Is another example of tbe intense
school of color. It is a relief to turn from thes <
miracles of brilliancy to tbe spirHuelle "JFaitb," by
Merle. Another most oleaslug work is "Pytha-
goras Teacbin<;," by Coomana, a dignified aud grace-
ful study. B3.-ide8 these, the gsUariea' contain
paintings by Dataille, Oswald Achenbaob, Dau-
bigny, SimonettL Fortuny, and others of equal
EMiaRANT aWINDLERS ARRESTED.
Walter Williams, alias Roberts, alias Slip
Corcoran, and William Foster, aliaa Fitzgerald,
were yesterday arrested by Sergeant Gaatitn, and
Detectives Hays and Gannon, of the Steamboat
Squad, oa the charge of defrauding persons who
had taken passage for Europe. These are old
offenders, but they haye heretofore escaped because
their victims were swindled on sailing days. Just
before the vessels left, and havlbg pur-
chased their tickets were unable to remain
and prosecute tbe men who had cheated them.
Tbeir raethori of fleering was , to repre-
sent themselves as being about to sail
in the same vessel with tbeir dupes, from whom
they would obtain a loan of money, in exchange f jr
worthless drafts on Ireland, which tbey wonid
promise to redeem on the voyage. After gettiag
money m this way, tbey would disappear and oot
he seen again until the vessel had departed. On
last Saturday, tbey defrauded James Henry, wbo
was about taking passage on a White Star steam-
ship, of $150, but wbo was detained by Seigt. Gasthn
to appear against the prisoners, ia li&e manner,
they bad swindled Michael Malone out of £50, the
week previous. Other victims, wbo have since
made complaints, are Edward MuGonegal, who lost
$20, and William Frazier. who lost $200. On being ar-
raigned at the Washington Place Police Court, yes-
terday, they were remanded by Judge Bixoy uuii)
to-aay.
AJf AVOTIONEEB IS TROZTULE.
H. C, Glover, tho auotioneer vko held a
mock-sale of horses last Thursday, at 'No. 127 West
Twenty-eighth street, advertised as an Assignee's
sale, by order of John G. Murray as Assigaee, was
brought before the Mayor j'esterday on com-
plaint of Capt. Walsh, of tbe Ordinance Police,
who charged that he had every reason to believe
that the sale was not a bona fide or legitimate one,
and asked for the reroeation of his license. Glover
was represented by counsel, who claimed that the
sale was legilinoate in every respect, bnt it was in-
terfered with by Capt. Walsh. ;Tbe Mayor said be
was deiermlaed to sustain Capt. Walsh in tus en-
deavors to break up the mock-aucdon sales; that
he did not interfere beyond his authority and he
saw no reason why they should object to the prea-
ence of the Police if tbe aales were as legitimate as
iyere claimed. Other auctioneers would be glad to
have the privilege of the Police attendance, without
pay, as their presence would encourage the
bayers. Before revoking the license be would con-
sider the matter, and he reserved his decision.
Glover was licensed on tbe 16th Inst., and it was
tne first sale he held.
THE LONG JSLAISD CITY MURDER.
Dennis Hyer, who shot his fellow-watchman,
Patrisk Taft^ in the Long I4and Railroad freight
ofiBce early on Monday morning, remained at
the station-house yestetday, and refused to talk
further in regard to tho occurrence. The Police
are more than ever satisfied that the shooting was
not accidental, as claimed by Kyer, and there seems
to be little doubt that there was a struggle between
the two men, iu which Taft, being tbe youoger and
scronger, was getting the advantage, when Ryei
seized the. pistol and shot him. Dr. Denuler is to

nounced as having been elected President, there
would be no cause for doubt. Mr. Davis appeared

MB9. PINKSTON'S TESTIMONY— THE VOTE
TO bB ANNOUNCED ON MONDAY— A
POOR DAT KOR THE BXORIDA TILDBN-
1TB8— PKOQRESS OF EVENTS IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.
Further evidence as to the violence and
outrages committed upon colored men, was
given before the Looisiana Beturning
Board yesterday. Gen. Brooks, United
States Army, testified to the completeness
with which the white Democrats did their
work of terrorizing the nnfortanate
negro. An attempt was made, by
the Democratic lawyers to discredit
the story ' of the wretched woman
Pinkston, but their own cross-examination
had no other effect than showing how ut-
teily terrified the witness had been by the
morderous ■violence of which she had been
the victim. It was not until she felt that
she waa in a place of safety, that she
dared to tell a straightforward story
about the murders. It will be ob-
served that these outrages are
all committed in remote sections, where
law and order are merely empty words ;
and to give evidence criminating white
men there would be as dangerous as to be
an active Bepublican. The Board
will probably announce the result
of the vote on Monday next.
The taking of evidence will close
to-morrow. In Florida, the Board of State
Canvassers began to take evidence in the
contested cases. The Democrats led off
with an att^k on the returns from Archer
township, in Alachua County, which gave
a Eepubliean majority, and congratulated
themselves on having made out a good case
until the Republicans produced affidavits
from every voter who had voted the Re-
publican ticket there. This completely
knocked over the Democratic case, and
every one acknowledged that the
Democrats had made a very poor
beginning. • Our dispatch states that
when the canvass is completed it will
be shown to the satisfaction of all that the
State really gave a majority of over one
thousand for Hayes. la South Carolina,
the Republican House of Representatives
obtained a quorum, and the Committee
on Privileges and Elections made
a report in favor of seating the five
Republican contestants from Barn-
well County, and giving their reasons
forsodoi'ngi The Senate, after much de-
bate, passed a resolution appointing 12
o'clock nooB to-morrow as the time for can-
vassing the vote for Governor. The Demo-
cratic Senators dr,e,w^ jip and signed a
protest agaibst the body of' which they
were members recognizing thtf tegalicy of
the lower (Republican) bouse. The Su-
preme Court adjourned without doing any
business. The habeas corpus cases before
Judge Bond, in the United States Circuit
Court, were argued, and the Judge re-
served Lis decision until to-morrow.

JBy Telegraph from Our Special Correspondent.
New-Orleans, Nov. 29. — At this, morn-
ing's session of the Returning Board, the Dem-
ocrats made extraordinary efforts to overthrow
the testimony regarding the killins of her hus-
band and child given by Mrs. Eliza Pinkston
yesterday. They were not successful. They did,
indeed, prove that the poor woman had told
various and contradictory stories in relation to
the crime, and that at one time she had
charged a number of negroes with having
admitted it. This Mra. Pinkston ad-
mits in her original affidavit, but at the
same time she swears that she dared
not let any -white Democrat know that she sus-
pected any of that party. She accused the ne-
groes through fear, and to save her lile, -whioh
she knew wovild be sacrificed if she told the
truth. Her evidence must stand amone the
annals of the other terrible outrages com-
mitted for political purposes upon the Repub-
hcaus ot this State.
Regarding the intimidation and violence
practiced by the Democrats, a most important
witness appeared to-day in the person uf Brevet
Major Geu. and Lieut. Col. John R
Brooks, of the Third United States In-
fantry. This gentleman has been stationed
in Louisiana lor a number of years, and dtirmg
the last election had command of the troops in
the " buU-ciozed" parisiies. The Democrats
do not attempt to deny or question his evi-
dence, which was substantially as lollows: "'In
the panshes of Louisiana, juat prior to the
election, there was a complete system or organ-
ization of the White or Democratic Party,
which had the effect of terrorizing the blacks,
this was especially tbe case in the Papiphea
of East Feliciana and East Baton Rouge,
the blacks of which came to me iri
large numbers, telling mo of threats
made and acts committed, which caused
them to loar the conseq :;ence of any free po-
litical action on their part. The threats were
as follows: Discharge, bodily injury, ana in
some cases extending to death, in case they
(the blacks) did not join the Democrano clubs
and vote the Democratic ticket. I have been
told by many black men of both of the par-
ishes that daring the Winter and Sprin"! last
past many of their people had been killed and
beaten by parties to them unknown,
who came in the night disguised
and armed, in squads numbering from
ten to fifty, who would surround a cabin,
take the man out. and either beat or kill him.
This occurred so frequently, that they (the
blacks) often for weeks at a time, slept in the
waods, awav Iruin their houses. - 1 became sat-
isfied from the frequenoV and similarity of these
reports, that this was the lact. Alter I took
command, there were but few outrages of this
kind brought to [my knowledge.^ Among
those I saw was one Colman Brown, a colored
man, who was then suffering from a
bullet wound in the thigh, which,, he
averred was inflicted by a man named Mansur,
who was arrested aad bound over to appear in
court. This was about the Ist of July. An-
other maui named Gus Jackson, colored, came
to me about the last of October, who had a
bullet wound in the head, still open, which he
averred was made by one Bedus Townsehd, on
the plantation of John A. Rilev, in East Felici-
ana. The reason he gave for the shooting was
that be (Jackson) would not join the Demo-
cratic club. About the 1st of September, a man
named Paul Johnson was taken Irom bis house
at night by a body of armed and disguised
men. He has never been seen since. This-was
told me by his father, who said he saw the dis-
guised party at the house, and traced them to
a point on the Comite River, where he averred
many other men had been taken in a like man-
ner and never heard of alive afterward. The
old man was very much frightened, and
feared that he would be visited in
like manner soon. Shortly after the 1st
of September a man named Monroe Beach-
am disappeared under similar circumstances.
Johnson lived near Atkinson's store, near the
East Feliciana line. Beaoham lived near a
place called Redwood. I have seen men with
what appeared to me to be marks of a rope
around their neoks and on their wrists, and
which they told me were such, and were made
by men placing a rope around their necks or
wrists and tying the other end to the pommel
of a saddle, starting off at too brisk a pace for
them to keep up. There were several of these
cases. The names of the men I do not recollect. I
sent them in most oases to the Sheriff of East
Baton Rouge with their comDlaints. As to
peace and order and obedience to the law, I do
not thifik there yiras much in the back part of
the Parish of East Batnn Bouge, or anywhere
in the Parish of East Feliciana. This is based,
of couyse, on what information I could get
from the people of those parishes and the ofG-
oersofmy command away froin my own sta-
tion at Baton Rouge. Many Democrats in the
town of Baton Kouge, I do not now recall
the wards, admitted to me' on more
than one occasion that many violent acts were
being done in the ba«tt oauntry, whioh they
did not approve of. The organization of the
Democratic clubs partook of, as far as I could
judge and observe, a military character. My
instructions to my subordinate commanders
were to be at all times prepared to prevent
disorders, collisions, or bloodshed, in whatever
form it might appear. This for the reason that
<Jie civil authorities, esnecially in the Parishes
of East and West Feliciana and East Baton
Bouge, had on former oooasions been
powerless to prevent collisions and ,blood-
shed. In most of the cases, they
were imable to arrest the perpetrators of vio-
lence on the part of citizens of the parishes,
fearing to exercise their legal functions through
apprehensions ot violence to themselves. As
an instance coming under my personal observa-
tion, I would state that about the middle of
June last, I was coming down the Mississippi
River from Vicksburg to New-Orleans on the
steam-boat Katie. I observed about ' 6:30
o'clock one morning a body of armed men on
the boat. Upon inquiry I learned that it
was a company going below Mount Pleas-
ant to flank a body of negroes,
intrenehed cm tbehill. Tbeeotnpianxnjimbered
ikbtiUt twenty Ittta, «ad seemed to iS^Jb«ii>tq
oughly organized. They had wit^ thepi a
negro prisoner. They were landed about two
miles below Mount Pleasant, and they marched
in that direction. I afterward learned £rom
parties at the place that day, I think the Sheriff
of East Baton Rouge for one, that this was
but a small portion ot the force at Mount
Pleasant. What they did is a matter of public
notoriety. In Baton Rouge Parish, in the town
of Baton Rouge and the two wards next below
the town, on the river, I do n^t
thmk there was any reason why a voter oould'
not vote as ho chose. In what is called the
back country, whioh includes the balance of the
parish, I think the system of threats, whipping,
and killing, which has existed for the past ten
months, has so complfttely terrorized the timid
blacks that but few of them would dare to vote
as they pleased. As to the fact of many black
men having been killed by unknown persons, I
would say that I know such to bo the case,
from an examination of the inquests, which
inquests did not cover all the cases of men
fovmd dead, tor the reason, given to me by the
Coroner in person, that he had been notified
to hold no more inquests m the country, and
was threatened with violence to himself if he did
so. In East Feliciana Pariah the record of the
vote cast there for the Republican ticket would
seem to indicate a complete terrorism on the
part of the Republicans of that parish. My
own judgment, based upon the informa-
tion received from a large number
of black veters of this parish,^ is
that tbe threats made, and the acts committed
by the whites against the blacks, or, m other
words, by the Democrats against the black Re-
publicans, were of such a nature and of such
force as to deter the Rapublicans from voting
as they choose or at all. "
Gen. Brook was subjected to a severe cross-
examination by the Democratic lawyers, but
his testimony was not impaired in any way.
The board decided to-day that they would
hear no more testimony after Friday next. On
the evening of that day they will commence
making up thoir returns, and it is understood
that the report will be announced on Mond ay.
HOW THE TIMES NEWS WAS RECEIVED IN
WASHINGTON — A DHEP IMPRESSION PR©-
DUCID.
Special Dispatch to tJie New- York Times.
"Washington, Nov. 29. — The dispatch in
The Times ot to-day from Louisiana, detailing
ths scene before tbe Returning Board, has cre-
ated a profound sensation here. It is a subject
of discussion to-night wherever there are gath-
enngs of people. Democrats meet the report
by loud, and sometimes profane- denials, al-
thouirh their own papers have been compelled
to print substautiaUy the same facta. They
manifest no horror at the inhuman deed, and
say in one breath that the murder of Finkston
was not pohtical and that it was done by Re-
publican negroes. In spite of their licht treat-
ment of the affair, it is easy to see it has pro-
duced a deep impression.

the Bimo man that shot Henry — shut me once.
Some of them — I do not know who they were — had
dealines with me, and one spoke to another and said,
" I want some of that." They held my legs up aud
jumped on me.
President Wells — ^Did yoa Be0 them that shot
you?
Witness — Y^s, Sir; theyy shot me twice. "When
they came in the bouse they told me to put my baby
down ; I told them no, Sir.
Q.— What became of your child; if it was killed,
who did 10? A. — Xhey came into ihe house and
said, " Put your baby down;" I said. "Ob, no, Sir,
what do you want to kill me for? I am nothing
but a woinau ; if you kill me kill the wiiolo cf as ; "
I'bey cut my baby's throat from cm to
ear ; I raised my hands ; I let my
Daby fall ; they wanted to take some-
thing from me before they killed me ; two ot
them had dealings with me ; I ran ucdor tbe bed
when he shot me in the leg ; they cau.'ht me by the
leg aud pulled me out and uroko the bed j'lhey cue
me with the ax; one man said, "If you are going
to kill the woman don't be botherinc with Her,"'
and they nanted to kill me aad he cut me with a
knife ; I struck him and it flew up and they never
saw it agp.iu; they sot another knife and inuy cut
and stabbed me, ioid they cut me on the legs with
the ax and on the side.

A. — I don't know. Sir, what yon call poliiics : I

President Wells — Yon said inatyour husband hiid

portion of his body did they cut? Dm they cut
any portion of his body ? A. — Ou, yes ; they put a
knife through and through him ; von conid heur
the knife griodihg like you cut new leather; Capt.

President WeUs — What part of his body was
cut? A. — He was cut down below and he was cut
in the ear.
Q, — You stated in your answer that they had
treated you improperly in regard to your persoii ;
that they had improper intercourse with you — was

they asked the boya if any more of tbem wante<l

done outside la the moonshine; they took an ax lu
cui.me, but the ax flew off the handle.
By President Wells — They first chopped yon with

have a hollow tooth in my head.
By Mr, G-anthreaax — Would we be allowed to
put a question to the witness ?
President Wells — You ought to file your cross-
interrogatories.
Mr. G-authreaux — What we want is the fullest
investigation of the case, and It seems to me there
could ho no objection ou ths part of the board to
any and all questions that can throw auy ii£{hc on
this investiKdtion. I would liks to ask tnis ques-
tion of the witness, if she did not on the moruiug
afier the occurrence state to John Levauson and
TidwoU thai a colored man killed ber liufcband.
The Witness, emphatically — Oh, no ; tney were
not tn ere; there were two colorea men there, bui
Tidwell tola me not to tell who they were ; oh, no ;
oh, no, no, no, no, we aint going to have that way,
oh, no. Sir; they were white men; they all caiuo
back and tried to kill me ; but they cannot have
anything thav way.
Air. Marry— We have no ohjeclion to the tuUsst
cross-examination hv Mr, Spottord..
Judue Spi'fford — We are taken by surprlae by tbe
course taken by the board — the ruiiua of the ooarti
—and we are not prepared to go on.
Gov. Palmer— I may here take occasion to say
thac this case involves more than a Piesideutial
election. ■ It mvolves the dignit.v and honor <jt
human nature. I think that you will hardly 8a'isly
the country unless you cive such direction.s us will
lead to the complete development of all thu facts iu
this case. Certainly the people biive noriciitto
claim any sort of a Government like that which is
attempted to he shown here, 1 think yon owe it to
the couQtry to allow all the facts 10 be developeo.
Senator Sbertnan — I concur with yon, Gov. Pal-
mer. I would like to have Gov, Palmer and Jiid^ro
Spoflord croas-examine witnesius, so wo iui.;hf,
ha»e the facts.
Gen. Smith — The mere cross-examination cf this
case would not develop anything. It is to investi-
gate tacts from all ihe witnesses within a leasoii-
aOle number who may know the chaiacier ot tliia
transaction with this woman as detailci. I concur
with Gov. Palmer in what he sai<i. It does not
concern patties, but concerns huu'auity.
Ml', Parker — You should not be parmitle'\ to tay
that. X.. aive any further priviiage than eimply io
8«y to lbe|leaaing counsel on the other side, cio-s-
examine this witness, would be to give more privi-
leges than is usual in courts of justice. It would
be a very great gratification to me if the examina-
tiou could be carri'jd on without the annoyance ( f
interrogatories but b,v sucli gentlemen as are before
us, Mr, Smith or Mr. Paimer on ono side, wiili any
j;en!lemau who may be uuminatsd by the board 011
the other.
Gen. Smith— If tbe board will pardon me, I de-
sire to say that we do nottlesire to interfere m the
exanuoauon of the witness. It would be jiroper
that either side ahonld do that. Tucre are mou
entirely competent on both sides to investigate
tli'^roaghly the facts of the case, and a mere ciu.<s-
examination of this woman would amount to uotn-
ins. As to the su£geatiouB made hv Gov. Palmer.
that every fact connected with the oircnm-
stances which this woman details, can
or caunnt be sustained, I can only
state that I am informed by gentlemen who live in
tbe neishborbobd, and whose cbaraotets so far as I
know are good, that the matters here set forth are
not true, and they desire, and the country, I know,
desires, after reading statementsof this kind, the
entire facts, and they shall be set out, in reference
to the character of this transaction. A mete cross-
examination of the witness, tbe eentieman as a
lawyer knows would amount to nothing, and,
moreover, I would say that this- pi;ooeeding is not
conducted precisely as a case in conrt. ■ Then, cer-
tainly, it cannot rest upon a cross-examination
alone. It would be proper to submit it to a conrt
or jury, whose province it waste deteraune the
real tacts m the matter.
Mr. Parker — There is no disaereement between
us. Let the cross-examination proceed, and at (he
proper time bring it in the courts.
Jndge Spoffjrd. — "We have. Just arrivinj; on the
train, a large numtwr of witnesses. Owing to the
change in the rulea, we will have to seiveour In-
terrocatorteo twenty-four hours on the opposite
counsel. I ask, as a' matter of simple justice, that
this case be postponed till we can conform to the
rule; we are taken by surprise.
Judee Ray — I desire to call attention to the fiJCt
that we are compelled to make onr return next
Tuesday, or by Monday, as next Wedufcgday the
Electoral vote must be given. If we depart jfrom
our rules so far as the investigsiion is concerned,
we will not be able to arrive at the result in time.
There are four or five parishe* still where investi-
gations will have to be made now. 1 hope there
will be no departure from the rule. The conrts of
justice are open and the matter could be prosecuted
there and the whole facts could be brought out.
Mr. McGloin — I would hko, as a white citiz^m of
Louisiana, to say a word. I have in my bands the
athdavits which will clearly disprove that this out-
race was committed bywhite persons. We have a
number of distinguished gentlemen hero from all
parts of tbe Union. Thin thin -r is an impatation
upon the reputation of every citizen ot Louisiana.
We will have a witness here to-morrow. But I say,
though tbe heavens fail, let ns clear this stain on
our escutcheon, and show that the people of Lonis-
iana are not such ttendn as they try to sbow^ chat
they are. They will take the testimony in any way
that yoa desire
Jndge Kelly, of Pennsylvania — I desire to state
it is now proposed to cross-examine if they wilL I
have never knowu counsel to refuse to cross-exam-
ine a witness for the State until after the Common-
wealth's case should be closed, and onr di'Siieis
thac you cross-examine the witness.
Geu. Smitti — What tbe gentleman says is that
their friends from Onachita, who know all about
the transaction, are not here, but will be in a very
siiort time. Upon their inlormatlon tboy can intel-
li^ent'y cross-oxamine the witness; witbeut tbem,
they cannor.
■ Mr. Parker — Do they pretend ignorance of the
details 1
Mr, iJorrey — All the interrogatories were known
to me couusel on the other side. Since the 25th
inst. the.y have had ample time to inform them-
salveii. T.^py have the ooportuuity to pro-
pound interro^atines. It is a fact that it is pub-
lic notoriety, aad I venture to say that the
witnesses wiil never come here unless they come
iu tne castody of the United States Marshal.
Gov. Palmer — I do not want to be' understood as
interfering with the mere political contest before
the boiird ; that U a matter I have scrupnlously
avoideii. I see btfore nie a woman vtho has been
foully dealt with. Certainlv it is hor rj^ht —
Whether it affects Tilden or Hityea is a matter cf
no connequeuce — the board ought to aid ns in ar-
riving at the truth. If possible name one member
of your board who can go to auotnor room and al-
low the exainmaiiou to go on without reference to
the vote. You will do an act ot justice to tbe coau-
ti-y and the peoplu ot this State.
iiPresideut Wells — We are hero to decide a political
questiou, and the reputation of aiiy cue does not de-
PL'Ufl upon our decision. Tbe conrts are open for
those invesngatlous. and there is an opportunity to
have the whole matter sifted. The board must go

Col. Zdcharie said the other side was allowed

Tallahassee, Nov. 29. — The Democrats
opened. the:r contest of the Republican coun-
ties before the Board of Canvassers this morn-
ing, attempting to show fraud in Alachua
County, whioh returned 717 Eopuhiioan ma-
jority. Their attack was confined to the
Second Precinct ot Archer towu.ship, where
they tried to prove by oral testimony and affi-
davits that only 316 votes were cast, whereas
535 were returned. They claimed that the
Democrats polled 136 votes, leaving the Repub-
licans 130, and congratulated themsalves that
they had made out a strong case, but
they were all taken aback at the after-
noon session, when the Ropu'olicans presented
atiidavits, signed by 289 Republioaus, who
swear they voted the Republican ticket in the
precinct. The truth is the Democrats aid
their plans for heavy frauds in Archer Town-
ship, and they succeeded so iar as to swell
their vote to 230 in both preciucJs, and
where the.y never had polled over forty-four
votes at any xirevious election. Further testi-
mony will be adduced by the Republicans,
showing that their real majority was much
larger than the return makes it, while the
honebt Democratic vote was us much loss. It is
admitted on all sides that the Democrats have
made a poor beginning in their attacks on the
Republican counties ; but they "will be shown
up in a still worse light before they g&t
through. The honest Republican majority in
this State at the last election was be-
tween 1,500 and 2,000 ou tbe actual
votes cast, to say notbini; of what
it would shave been had there ' been
no intimidation of the negroes. Leading Re-
publicans here say they can prove this to the sat-
isfaction of every fair-minded man in the coun-
try. The Deinocratio coimsel filed affidavits
contesting Baker County, and the Republican
counsel filed affidavits against Manatee Coun-
ty, where the proof is abundant that there was
no legal election held. This county will have
to be thrown out entirely, if law and precedent
are followed.
The board will continue its sessiona to-mor-
row, notwithstanding Thanksgiving, as every
moment will be required to finish the contests
m time for tbe Electors to oast their votes. The
same persons were in attendance to-day as yes-
terday. The proceedings are conducted with
perfect order and fairness. Affidavits are not
read, for want of time, but are open to the in-
spection ot counsel on both sides and to the re-
porters. Oral testimony is taken in open session.

C OLUMBiA, Nov. 29. — Judge Bond heard
argument to-day in the habeas corpus case of
the five members of the Board of State Can-
vassers. The Sheriff was represented by Gen.
Bradley J. Johnson, and Gen. Conner. Judge
Denny, of Indianola, and Judge Little, of North
Carolina, appeared for the prisoners. . The
question of jurisdiction was ably argued, and
Judge Bond reserved his decision until Friday.
Meantime tbe prisoners remain in the custody
of the Marshal.
Judge Denny, of Indiana, made the following
points in his argument : That the State Supreme
Court had no jurisdiction of the Board of Can-
vassers, or ot the snbiect matter pending be-
fore the board, because the State officers
who composed the board, were the execu-
tive officers of the State, and acting
under a law of the State passed in pursuance
of Section 33, Article 1 of the State Constitu-
tion, and of the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution of the United States. That the
26th section, article 1, of the State Constitu-
tion, expressly prohibits the Supreme Court
from assuming or discharging the duties of
said board; that the Supreme Court, by the
lourth section of the fourth article of the State
Constitution, only has power to hear and de-
termine appeals in suits at law, in chancery,
and issue writs of injunction, mandates, &c,< so
as to give it a sopervisory control over
all other courts of the State, and that this pow-
er was only given over the courts created by
article four. That the United States Court has
jurisdiction to release the prisoners, because
the Supremo Court had no jurisdiction
whatever to imprison ' them ; and,
therefore, its judgment is void.
That the action of the Supreme
Court affected the election of members of Con-
giess and Electors, as well as the State offi-
cers, and that under under the amendments to
'Sk?' Coastitaition and the laws of tbe United
Statesrttie C^teiTWattis- eircrtit Oonrt -Imw .
jurisdiction. Numerous authorities were read
in support of these positions.
Ij was four o'clock this afternoon before the
House of Representatives at the Capitol ob-
tained a quorum. One Republican absented
himself during the morning, and as soon as a
.quorum was present, the Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections reported in favor of
seating the five Republican contestants
trom Barnwell County, on the ground of fraud,
violence, and intimidation. It was in this
county that, at Robbin's Precinct, the mana-
gers were shot at and driven ftom the polls.
They opened a box three miles away
from the usual place, and 1,400 votes
were cast there for the Repirbli-
can ticket. These votes were rejected
by the County Canvassers and were not connt-
ed by the Board of State Canvassers. The
two Republican County Canvassers made
affidavit that they were prevented
fromj including their votes in the ootm-
ty canvass throughx fear of their lives.
They made a supplemental return in which
they declared that if left free from personal
danger, they would have included these votes
in the return, as the true expression of the
will of the people. Robbings Precinct always
returns a large Republican majority.
The county was the scene of the
Ellenton riot. More than fifty colored men
wore killed in the tew weeks previous to the
election, among whom was Coker, one of the
Representatives m the last House. He was
brutally murdered in open day by six men, one
of whom, it is asserted, is now a Demo-
cratic Senator-elect from Aiken Cotmty. The
addition these five votes gives the Repub-
licans iu the House sixty-four votes, a clear
majority even if 124 be declarea the full House.
Aiken County, with tour votes, and Abbeville,
with four votes, are also pretested, and may be
reported on in the same way. In both counties
the Republicans have hitherto had large ma-
jorities. The House adjourned until to-
morrow.
In the Senate the resolution to adopt the
twenty-second joint rule of Congress was post-
poned until Monday. This was a point gained
by the Democrats. Three of the Republican
Senators are thought to bo averse to continuing
a contest with the Democrats. The Senate
transacted no business, and adjourned until
Friday.
The temper of the Democrats is most vio-
lent. Mackey and Cooke, the two renegade
Republican Circuit Judges, have been ha-
ranguing crowds m front of the hotels this
evening. They seem to be out forward to
puU the chestnuts out ot the fire for the Demo-
crats. One or two De(nocrat3 from Edgefield
and Aiken, under boud ifor participation in the
murders in these counties, also spoke to the
crowds in the most inoendiary language.
The President, Gen. Ruger, Gov. Chamberlain,
and all the Republicans, were denounced
as worthy of the death due to tyrants. Noth-
ing but the troops prevents a violent end to
all le,;al Government hero.
The Democratic House m Carolina Hall held
a secret session to-day.
No Democrat having the privilege of the floor
was yesterday excluded eitherby the Federal
soldiers or:by any on® ®l8e. The pretense to
to. go in except the Edgefield men, vbo \tA jt
right there. - ;,. ■-,.,.

Special Dltpat^ to Ou Jfeio- Tork Tine*.
Washington, Nov. ^r — ^A .dispatch waa
sent from here last night to several pap««
claiming that a statement would be published
to-morrow mommg by a . paper here ^ to
the effect that ex-Oov. Dennison. s* o^
Ohio, one of the Commissioners pf •* the
District of Columbia, takes the grotind
that the only solution of the di£Bculties -which
threaten the ooantry is the withhrawal of Gov.
Hayes, and that he will so advise him- The
dispatch was strengthened by the statement
that the editor of the Nation, as the paper ia
called, is an intimate friend of Gov. Dennison.
The Governor, when spoken to had difdoulty
in calling to mind the person in question,
but finally remembered, meeting him.
On the incident being j brought to his
attention, the Governor ' made the jtfollow-
ing statement : "I may have had a casual con-
versation with the editor of the Nation on tlia
subject of the Presidential election, butyoer-
tamly never said to him nor to any other per-
son that I thought the solution of > the question
■waa for Gov. Hayes to withdraw, or that feaad'
was to be used in securing his election. I may
have said that in my opinion Gov. Hayes would
not accept the office of President unless fairly
elected, but I have . never purposed to
advise him ' on -i the '• eubject. I have
telegraphed him that iu my opinion he ia un-
doubtedly elected the next President of the
United States, and I believe .now that
fraud alone oaa^ 90^re :, him ot 185
Electoral votes." ' "^ This -. is ^noteworthy as a
part of the great attempt of ^ the .Democracy
to make the country believe > that Tilden ia
elected, and is being counted out. This story
that Hayes is a good man, and will not accept
a doubtful election, is never aooompEmied with
a. suggestion - that Tilden is too good to take an
office secured by whatever means. The story .
is persisted in and .reiterated from here, ai
though no denial were sufficient.

therefore the heat Isfcal and inrentiye aollity of the
party was bronKht into aeryiee to make the laglsla-
tire sesaiea of 1874 profitable to the party. Zc waa
abundantly preyed by the election Of Kr. Tf. W.

waa aU Ibe aecessary partisanship in the two
branohes to adopt saeh taearares as the wire*

/BOW THE THINO WAS DOKS.
Jl draft of an Sleotion law was prepared by Good-
win CoUinr, of this oity. ana after it had andergone
ne«ded chances to adapt it to eyery emergency, it
Soaade its appearance ia the committee room. This
act repealed the salient and protective features of
the law of 1868. whioh was passed after tbe diSicoT-
ery and la conseqaefioe of the gnaA tnxuXa perpe-
trated in the Spring ef itaat year by tbe 'I>emoerats

swspi away erery section of the law Which paye

to pass npon the qaaliflcatiens of electors, and gave
tae towa antbonlles powar to admit electors on the

plea of party ceoesaity the bill became a law. Then
a oepartete a9t was prupossd, aathorizittg Superior

for a aew electiob. A new artangemeat was made
for the ehoiea of Besiaters of Elections, and other
duties wera-defined. A large nnmber of the people
of New-Haven, irrespective of party, asked that
tbe charier might be submitted to a popular vote,
bat this was denied, and ths whole thing was rashed
thmu^b, notwithstanding the party platform of
thar ye^r had eloquently defebded the priacipls of
locjil self-srovemmeDt and home rule. The Cfty of
Norwich waa next attended te, and this being a Se-
pubtirau city, some things had to be done a little
out of tn* rejnilar programme arranged for other
place.-). Tbe Oommon CouDcil there had elected
their ProsecutlDff Attorney for the City Court ; bat
now that the Logisiaitire waa Democratic, and
would appoint the Judge of the court, It was pro-
vided in tbe charter that the Judge shanld appoint
the Attorney ; for the Common Council being a Ke-
pabliuab booy. could not be safely ebtrnsted with
that duly. The political features of the charter
were crammed down tbe throats of the Norwich
people, thoneh a part of it relating to taxation was
Bubmitted tuapopnlar yo.e. Merideo, which Iiftd
beouiue Detnocraiio. was also favored witb a new
cbaiter. Xbero the appointcaeDt of a Prosecncinfc

EBOCIMEim OF BCOHOUIO BEFOBK.
Another B^uik Commusitn wds created— one only
Aavlns been in office — ana a fixed aalary of $3,500
eacb was established in place of a per diem, and tbe
pay of Bailroad Commissioners was raised from $5 a
day to |3,GC0 a year. Though the State was Just then
etabarkingia a new capital enterprise, which irould
mcreaao largely the onrreut expenditures, the
State tcx wa.4 reduced from two mills to
one, as a bait only, and the folly of it
Laa Since been tlispUyed in a stoppage of tbe re-
dootion of the Statj debt and a balance oa the other
side af the Treasurer's account. Tbe next year
there Nvau uot mucn left to be done ; but a few
pLices had to be tinkered, and some new places |;>ro-
Tided for the hungry. Waterbury waa divided in-
to voting diatiiets, as waa Merluen. The salary of
the Police Judje in New-Britain was raised, and
the office of Prosecuting Attorney before the Hart-
ford Police Court created. The Norwich charter
was again doctercd, the City Court being gtven
iucreaeed jurisiliulioo. and the taxable fees en-
larged. Ia order to cut duwn the expenses of the
pauty tfouimittees, the lees for taking out first
and second naturalization papers were reduced,
thoBgu the Clerics of courts swore about it some-
what.
Xn.DZTS'a FRIENDS COHSIStEirr TO THE LAST.
This year the first noble act of the Legislature
was to elect to the United States ^jenate that re-
markable atateamau and patriot Mr. 'William H.
B^iraum. A revised charter was giyen to the City
of South Norwalk, and to the Cotiimon Council was
delegated the power to elect a City Attorney, for
gOed reasons, no doubt, notwithstanding Norwich
ooald not be trusted. A new ward, which gave
only about three hundred and fifty Democratic ina-
Jority oat of a total poll ot less than einht hundred
at tbe last election, was created for Haritord. The
jntisdictioD of the City Court of New-Britain waa
enlurgstl, as tbe salary of tbe Judge bad been in-
ci^eased. Norwich was divided into tive waras, and
the salary of tbe City Court Judge Was increassd.
TOE WOKK OF PUHIFICATION TO BE DONE.
At each session partisan appointments have beea
BO rigidly adbered to that it is really oaeiancholy to
(blnk what a painful duty the incoming Hepubli-
ean Legislature has to perform iu the disappoint-
ment of these unselfish reformers. The people of the

WllAr THIS DKM0CBAT3 HAVE LOST.
neretof.jre tbe Judges of tbe Common Pleas and

the ne<T constitutional aibfendtnehts adopted this
Tear, the Judzca of Comiuou Pleas are to be elected
for four yearn, and the City Court Jadses for two,
and this gives additional remerse to the Democrats.
The County Coramissloners aro chosen for three
years and tbe State Prison Director for three. Ia
all of the conrtH the Clerks are appointed by the
Judgsa. bo that cbangra on the bench-inake, usually,
pulitlcai chanuiiM at the Cleric's desk, thoush some
of tbe men now fti service will be retained. The
Democracy, besides all thiii loss of office, salstiei,
and oerqutftites, logos also the two Clerks of tbe
Hausd OS Kapreseatatives, and the doorkeepers aad
messengers, and theClerxs and other officials of tbe
Seaats. The agi:regate loss, pecuniarily, to the
suffsrers is not less than fitty thousand dollars a

yawer Ip GoBneetlont— and only a fair sketeh of Ita
that, after all the legislative partisanship and all

WASHINGTON'S BOOKS.
LIVELY BIDBlNG AT TBE AUCTION SALE IN
PHILADELPHIA — ^WHY THE BOOKS WERE
SOLD.
Jirotn ^ FhttMdtitphia Timts, N»t>. 29.
Yesterday after&oon, at Thomas' auction
rooms, the last volamea of the library of &en.
George Washington were scattered to the winds by
thelast heirof the fiunily, Lawrenee Washington.
This yenng,asan, who was present at the sale, is a
great-grandson of Gen. Washington's brother, and
a laa of tbe late John A. Washington. Mr. W ash-
ington is a dark-comnlexioned young man, *f me-
dium height and size, who only recently came
Into pctsession of the property. Before the
sale began Mr. Jennings, of the firm of Thorn*
as & Sons, explained the reasons tor it.
The books were stored in a room of a house
belongingr to the fiamily, which was rented to a
Peansylvaniap, who promised that it should be
kept constantly locked. When Mr. Washington
examined the library he found that the promise
had not been kept; that volumes had dis-
appeared, the autographs had been Cllptied
from others, and that there was danger that
the whole collection would be scattered in a few
years. There was no doubt whatever of the an-
thsBtidty of the volumes at this time. The sale
then pr«ceeded, there being a large number of lite-
rary men, librarians, book-sellers, and private col-
lectors present.
The first lot put up was an edition of "Don Qaix-
otte," in four volumes, 16mo, printed in London in
1786. Each volume contained an autograph of
Washington, whioh is alone worth (5. The foni
yolumes brought £24, and ^ere knocked down
to a Mr. Baker Jones, of West Virginia, who
alBo mado many purchases flaring the day. A
16mo " Philadelphia Directory," of 1795, presented
to President Washineton in the same year by
tbe City or Philadelphia, was next started at $5,
finally bringing $22. Next the "Fed6;ali8t," in
two volumes, 16mo., calf, printed in 1788. each
volume having Washington's autograph and ooat-
ef-arms, brought $50 a volume. A New- York dealer
In old books secured this prise. A fine copy of
■•Hudibras," illustrated by Hogarth, was knocked
down for C14. Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations,"
In three volumes, each volume containing an auto-
graph and coat-of-arms, brought ?36. A volume of
Jamphlets, oontaining a "Treatise on Bags," by
obn Lentball, London, 1730. and two or three other
essays, was started at |3, and after a hot competi-
tion between the book men, who evidently knew Its
valae, was knocked down for $33 SO. It had an au-
tngraph. Gen. Uawley next secured a bargain in a
"Life cf Marshal Tnrenne," in two volumes, printesl
in London, 1735, for Cl7. A splendid "Horace,"
nnnted in 1786, with a striking autograph, was
started at #5, and bought, after a sharp fight, for
126. Gen. Hawiey then stole a march on the book
dealers, by carrying ofi" two volumes of rare political
pamphlets of the la»t century for t28. An edition
of " Jefferson's Notes on Virginia," Svo., Philadel-
phia, 179i waa knocked down for |16. "Davies'
Instructions for tbe formation and Movements of
the Cavalry," a presentation copy, brought f8. A
"Collection of ell the Treaties of Peace, Alliance,
and Commerce between Great Britain and Other
Powers," three volumes, Svo., calf, London, 1785,
was started at (3 a volume, and solo for $17 50.
"Two volumes of the " Travels of the Marquis de
Chasteliux iu America, With Maps and Plates."
8vo., London, 1787, brought $40. An edition of
"Oliver Croldsmlth's History ot the Earth and Ani-
mated Nature," in eight volumes, 8vo., London,
1779, was sold far t4 a volume, which was said by a
by-stander I'o be less than the value cf the auto-
graph in each volume. "Miles' Tracts," beluga
series of papers on the relatlohs ot Great Britiaa
and Prance, London, 1793-4, a presentation copy,
and a very tine one, started ao $5 and brought (16.
Gen. Hawiey, who seemed to have a passion for
pom nhlets, next bousht two lots in three volumes,
quarto, for ?50. They contained " Journals of the
Proceedings of the Virginia Legislature in 1773,"
'* Addresses to the People ou the Federal Constitu-
tion, and Miscellaneous Papers." A " Practical
'Treatise on Husbandry," London, 1763, with an
autograph marked 1764, which gave it increased
value, broUKbt 110 50. Andrew Hamilton's "En-
quiry into the Prinololes of Taxation," a presenta-
tion odby, with autographs of the author and Wash-
ington, started at $3 and only brought $13. Gibson's
" Treatise on the Diseases of Horses," printed in
London in 1751, with an autograph dated 1760, and
a very rare and curious work, brought only |13.
When No. 99 on the catalogue was reached ell the
bidders pricked up their ears. It was Sobert
Fulton's -" Treat l88 on Canal Navigation," illus-
trated witb seventeen plates, quarto, calf. It was
a presentation copy, with antograph of Wash-
ington, aut-osraph letter of Fulton, and a
supplement at tbo back in ITulton's bandwritini;.
It was Started at |15, and after aliveiy competition,
was knocked down fur {43. Its fortunate owner, it
is said, can sell it for three times as much. A collec-
tion of maps by Ttaotaaa Jeffreys on tbo general
topography of North America, containing plane of
Qaebec and Montreal, of Fort Diiquesne, six plans
of the dispositiotis of the British Army under G-en.
Bradrtock, map of Virmnia, f'Last Prospect of
Philadelphia"— nlnoty-three In all — folio, half
bound, London, 1768, sold for $35, going to New^
York. After it was bought, the Inckv nurchaser
discovered in it a memorandum, in which
Gen. Washington had marked in pounds, shillings,
and pence, the cost of each map. A nnmber of
other old atlases brought fair prices. Sir Matthew
Hale's " Contemplations : Moral and Divine," 8to.,
printed in London in 1685, and once the property of
Mary Washington, mother of the General, sold for
$11. The third volume of the •' Jilts ; or. Female
Fortune-Hunters," 16mo., with two autographs of
Mrs. Martha Washington, dated 1774, was started at
tl, and knocked do wu, after rapid bidding, for 917.
la the Waahinetou Collection proper, which waa
first sold, and whioh is summariised above, there .
were 138 lots, andin allabout250 volnmes. The total
amount reabaed was |l,933, with which price The
auctioneer expressed htm?elf entirely satisfied, say-
ing that it was mors than he bad expected he wonld
receive. Few of the books had any value except
that whioh had been eunferred upon them by their
disttnguisbed ownership. Many wore public docu-
ments of which there are numerous copies in exis-
tence, and none of them were rare. An interesting
feature of the collection was the number of volumes
of military and agricultural subjects, showing in
Gen. WasbibL'ton at once the soldier and tbe
country gentleman.
After the sale of the Washington Library a num-
ber of old books nrinted in the last century were
sold, none of tbem briDging bigh prices. The
highest prlce.'^ paid were |9 f jr " Stiles' History of
Whaliev, Gofle, and -Dixwell, Judges of King

seven plates, went for a sons, $16. A plated sugar-
bowl, mug, tray, candle-stick, and platter, used by
Gen. Washlnjjton while bis head-quarters were at
Germantown, brought $22, and a clock, which Is
supposed to have been in liis possession, (10. This
wottad up the sale, which was one of the largest

A LETISR FROM JUDOS BOND.
The Baltitnore American prints the following
letter, addiessed to its editors by Judge Bond on
the 25th Of November : ^
Columbia, Nov. 25, 1876.
JSditors of the American, Baltimore, Md. :
Iu view of the represenistious mado to the public
through the newspapers respecting nsy conduct in
Sooth Carolina, I desire to say through your col-
umns tnat I have been ia Columbia one week; that
1 touk up my abode at wbat was represented to me
to be the best hotel in the place; that thougii two
years ago, when Chief .Justice Waite visited this
fiart of bis circuit with me. Gov. (Jhaaiberiain kind-
V invited me to stnv at bis bouse, where we were
both pleasintly entertained, at tbis time he has
not done ui« that honor. Since my stay here I
have called on Gov. Chamberlain, as has always
been my custom, and as I would do on
Gov. Carroll were I about to hold a Circuit
Court at Annapolis, provided I had the pleasure
ot his personal acquaintance. Gov. CUamtjorlain
is a lawyer too well ortid to mention to me at eiich
a time any matter ivLioh might bo the subject ot
Judicial inquiry, and be has never done so. The
Board of State (Janvaseers has never Deen advised
by me. I have sever seen tbem. 1 would not
know more than one of the board if I did, and that
one is the Attorney General of Sou h Carolina,
wboui I have formerly known as United States
Assistant District Attorney. No one has as vet
applied to the Circuit Court for this district lor
any action iu regard to tha recent election. If any
person does so apply and there is a statute for it.
he shtill have relief. If there be no statute be
must seek his remedy elsewnere. If it be thought
unreasonable that where a Circuit Court was about
to be held at an ezpeube ot nearl.y one thousand dol-
lars daily that I should anticipate its seaaiou in
order to arrange its buaineas to make tbe term an
short as possiDle, I cannot ceiucide with the ob-
jectors. What arrangements I have made 1 hum-
bly snbmit is my own afr.tir, not that of otliers.

THE CITY'S PROPERTY.
■ ♦
A PLAN BT WHICH THE DEBT COULD
BE BEDJFCED.
8UGOESTION8 BT THE COUNCIL OF POLITICAL
RKFORM — THEY RECOMMEND THE SALE
OF ALL PROPERTY NOT ABSOLUTELY
NEEDED FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES— THE
MATTER UNDER THE CONSIDERATION OF
THE SINKING FUXD COMMISSIONERS.
A Committee of the Council of Political Re-
form, consisting of Messrs. W. H. Webb, Philip
Bissinger, and Joshua C. Sanders, appeared before
the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund yesterday.
In the Mayor's o£Sce, and presented the following
communication in relation to selling a large amount
of the property owned by the City, and applying
the proceeds to tbe reduction of the City debt :
The undersigned, a committee aopointed Dy the
New-York Council of Political Retorm, bee leave
to^resent for your consideration the subject of
selling such portions of tbe real property belonging
to tbe City as may not now be in use nor likely in
the future to be needed for public purposes, at as
early a period as may be consistent with securing
the lull market value for the same, and of apnlying
the proceeds arising from such sale's toward tbe
payment of the debt of the City. The City is pos-
sessed of a large amount of such property, situated
ib vaiious psrtsof the City and Brooklyn, from
none of which is it receiving an income adequate
toils value, and which Is the occasion of a large
annual expenditure over and above all receipts de-
rived therefrom.
It owns fortv-seven houses and lots, mostly situ-
ated in the lower part of the City, which were valued
by the commission apnointed by the City in 1870 to
appraise ita real estate, at $804,850
Twentj-nne lots and plots of land, mostly :
unrented, valued at 3,370,040
Thirteen plots of land, leased for terms of
fitty and ninety-nine years at a nominal
rent to several charitable and relij^ious
institutions, valuert at 2,723,850
Market property, valued at 4, '267, 374
Dock property. Valued by the oppraisers of
dock property recently appointed at 18,000,000
Making a total value of. $29,106,114
The City also claims ownership of a large amount
of under- water lands, the value of which is esti,
mated at a much greater sum than that ot its wharf
Structures, and which it is leasing, as it is required,
at a rate determined by the value of the contiguous
upland. The cost of maintaining this property has
averaged, for the last five years, more than fonr
hundred thousand dollars per annum, after deduct-
ing all rents paid OT Contracted to be paid on ac-
count of it. much of which is never coileoted. Ac-
cording to the report of the Controller, made in
1872,1 on the real estate cf the City, it ap-
pears there was due to the City for ar
rears of rent the sum of $471,700, nearly the
wholo of which had been placed in the hands of the
Counsel to tbe Corporation for collection, bat
whioh still remains uncollected, the City incnrring
thereby heavy legal expenses in what seems to be a
fruitless efibrt to secure their collection. Muoli of
thid property, especially the unoccupied portion,
13 so situated that it cannot be advantageoudy
used, at le»st for many years to come, if ever, fur
public purposes, and it certainly is not the business
of Municipal corporations to eogage in real estate
enterprises, or to hold it for sDeoolatiye purposes.
There are cogent reasons why the City should
hold no more real property than is needed for public
purposes and to carry on conveniently the affairs of
its Government. The holding of mote than is need-
ful tor its prssent or prospective uses imposes on
it annually heavy exponditurea for its care and pro-
tection, withholds needlessly so much from the tax-
able property ot the City, and is made the fruitful
source of official «orruption. We therefore ear-
nestly request that such property, so owned by the
ciry, and neither now nor likely ever to be needed
for public purposes, be sold so soon, and in such
parcels, and on such terms as will secure for it its
lull market value ; and that the proceeds of such
sale may be applied to the cancelation of so much
of the debt ot the City.
Wc are aware that some portions of such prop-
erty are subject to legal restrictions as to sale,
questions of title, and are held under long leases.
These iuoumbranoes may prevent advantageous
sales of such property until they are removed. But
there is enough of such property whioh is already,
or 80<m will be, relieved from such embarrassments,
to allow tbe work ol such gale to advantage to be
commenced ; and the subject especially demands
Immediate attention from the fact that a nnnnber
of such leases soon expire, and applications are
already being made for their renewal. The leases
ot twenty-one bouses and lots and eishteen vacant
lots belonging to the City, and valued at $450,000,
expire in May fiext. Franklin, Governeur, and
Eighteenth Ward markets are no longer used or
needed for market ourposes, and have become an
expense to the City. These markets, the aggregate '
value of which is ^630, 000, the Commissioners of the
Sinking Fund are authorized to sell by a recent act
of the Legislature. With such property relieved
from any embarrassment as to title, the work
of selling can be undertaken and prosecuted so far
as the true interest of the City may require. It is
by no means our purpose to recommend the sale of
any portion cf the City's property which is now
needed and can be ^vantageonsly usied for tbe ac.
commodation of any department of its Government.
On the contrary, we would recommend that somo
portions of it should be so occupied, iu place of
premises which it now hires for that purpose from
private parties at exorbitant rents.
The City is now paying annual rents to the ex-
tent of nearly four hundred thousand dollars for tbe
accommodation of various departments and otbei
rublic purposes. The greater portion of this sum,
if not the entire amonnl, might be saved to the
City after the first year by tbe occupation of its
own property for the tranBaction of its basiness,
and such premises could be conveniently fitted for
its purpose by an expsndituTe lesa tbab the rents
paid in a single year for the use of those ot private
individuals. The City owns ei)?hteen lots and
houses and lots iv the lower part of Chat-
ham street, tbe centre of the official busi-
ness of the City. The buildings in this street,
the leases of which expire in May next, are
capable, after suitable and inexpensive alterations,
of accommooatlnz everv ofSoe of the central depart-
ments of the City Government, for wldoh it is now
paying to private parties over seyenty-flve thou-
sand dollars per annum; and at the same time the
first floors of the buildings could be rented for busi
ness purposes. The rents which the City is now
receiviDg from such buildings are lesa tnan ten
thousand dollars oer annum. The savibg
to the City by making this transfer to its own
property, and made equally convenient at a motler-
ate expense, is obvious. The uoper floors of one
of these buildines aloce, after tbo alterations have
been made, could afi'ord ample accommodations for
all the public business transacted in the premises
rented of Fernando Wood, in Nassau street, and
ot Benjamin Wood, in Chatham street, for the use
of which tbe City is paying ?21,C00 per annum ; and,
at the same time, hut a small portion of the latter
premises is actually used or needed far
tbe purposes for which they are rented
at the rate of $3,600 per annum.
Other like instances of a want of oeouoai y on
the part of the City, in the matter of rents, might
be given. The same economy which private per-
sons of ordinary prudence practice in relation to
their property, in the matter of rente, if exercised
by the City, would save to it, if we consider wbat
it loses ana what it pays in rents, at least half a mil-
lion of dollars annually. It may be urged that the
present is an uutavorablo time to press the sale cf
real estate. This is admitted. But it should also
be remembered that it is an inauspicious time for
the practice of extravagance on tbe part either of
the Government or the people, s^nd peculiarly fa-
vorable for the exercise of thfe most rigid economy.
Tbo lax-payers are finding it difiieuU to meet the
heavy exactions made upon them by the City Gov-
ernment, and are demanding that every reasonable
measure shall bo adopted, on the part of their pub-
lic servants, which may afford tbem relief. Believ-
ing that tbe moasures liere proposed will contribute
to that end, if adopted, the undersigned most re-
spectfully ask for them your immediate and oaretn)
consideration. W. H. WEBB,
Chairman of Committee.

After the communication was read. Controller
Green said he was happy to find gentlemen like
the committee coming torward to express their
views on a public matter, especially as their feelings
were in consonance with the spirit that prevailed
in the board. He had given tbe subject to whioh
they had reierred all the attention he ooald bestow
on it sinte he assumed the office ot Controller, and
he did ail m his power to make the City property
as productive as possible. In 1872 he caused a
bChedule of all the property owned Uy the Coroora-
tion to be made, and irom that time to the present he
had been eugated ir. turning it to the best possible
account in the interest of iho Oity. Leases of a
portion ot the property harl oeen sold at auoiiDn
under his supeivisiou in 1872, ana they would ex-
pire next y»ar. It was f jr tlie Sinking Fond Com-
missioners to decide, iu the meantime, whether it
would be better r,o sell tha fae ot the property or to
rentitauain. As for himseir, he cunld say that
there was no time since he became Coutroliev when
the property could be advantagoously sold. The
deoument was then laid over.
Recorder Uackett called up his resolution pro-
viding fur the removal of the btructure erected by
the Elevated Railroad Company on a portion of tbe
Battery, and asked if tbe (Jorporatiou Counsel had
given an cpiniou on itio subject. It was found
that no opinion had been luiuished on the subject,
and the matter was then lai 1 over.

THE OHAMFWNSRLl' BIOYULE RACE.
The bioyle race betweoa Williiim Du Noillo
and William C. McUIcUan for the chaiupionahlp
of America and ?250 a side, took place last ni^lit at
the American Institute Hall, m the presence of
over 1,000 gpectators, among whom were quite a
niitaber ot ladies. Under tbe articles of a;;reement
the race was to bo decided in tavor of the contest-
ant making the best three out of five heats of fonr
miles carb. It waa begun at 8:21 o'clock, Messrs.
C. H. Reilly, and W.J. Austin acting as judges,
and B. A. Pennell as referee. Du Noiile, who rode
a machine with a wheel of fifty-five inches diame-
ter, appeared on the track attired m white
breeches, with red and white stockings, llesh-
oolorod flannel shirt, and a creen cap. Dis
a very severe foil in the nomUsg while praotioiiigi
atid was not in good conditioa. Of the two contest-
ants, McClellan was tbe more graeefnl rider. Tbe
first heat of four miles was won by Du Noiile, by
about two yards, in 15 minntes, 12
seconds. The second heat was won by
McClellan by one yard in 14 minntes.
52 seconds. The third heat, in which much inter-
est was manifested, was also won by McClellsD, by
two yards, in 15 minutes 30 seconds. The fourth
heat waa very clonely Contested, but was finally
won by McClellan by about a quarter of a yard, in
15 minutes 25 seconds. Du Noiile claimed that his
opponent had "fouled" him near the close of the
final mile of the heat, but the claim being over-
ruled bv the referee, McCleUan was declared the
winner of the race. The latter fainted at t-he con-
clusion of the eontest.
GEOGBAPHEBS IN COUNCIL.
SECOND BECBPTION OF THE AMERICAN GEO-
ORAFHICAL SOCIKTT — 1»TKKE8TING AC-
COUNTS OF EXPLORATIONS IN THE ARC-
TIC AN© TORRID ZONES.
The second reception ot the American Geo-
graphical Society was held last evening in the so-
ciety's new house. No. 11 West Twenty-ninth
street. A very large number of ladies and gentlb-
men attended the recention, and at one time during
the evening the rooms were uncomfortably crowd
ed. Col. T. Bailey Myers presided, and introduced
the gentlemen nho read papers during the evening.
Hon. Manuel M. Peralta, the Minister Besldent
of Costa Rica, was first introduced, and read a
paper nnon the projected canal across the Isthmui
of Barien. In his remarks, after referring to the
fact that the Nicaragua route had been pronounced
the best of all that bad been proposed, Mr. Peralta
said that the Governments of Costa Si oa and Nica-
ragua might be relied on not to omit any action,
necessary on their part, to assure tbe completion of
the work, should it be commenoed.
Mr. Alexander Eumboldt V. H. V. D. Horck, of
Berlin, tben gave an account of bis recent journey
to the Spitzbergen seas, and his boat loumey
through Eassia and Finnish Lapland. In com-
mencing his lecture Mr. Yon Horck said that he
had so often been asked what was the nse of Arctic
exploration, and bow it could benefit
mankind, that it seemed to him that
the Arctic explorer should first answer
those questions in presenting his subject to the
public — a public which was growing more and more
to view every question from an extreme practical
standpoint. From tbe disasters attending the
Franklin expedition, from tbe thrilling descriptions
of Kane, the idea had become prevalent that the at-
tempt to einter those ice-bound regions was only con-
nected with the greatest peril and sacrifice. The
world at larce had formed a picture of a vast re-
gion covered with perpetual snow and ice— -utterly
barren — almost devoid pf life, without vegetation,
the awtui stillness broken only by the
terrible grinding of tbe rushing^ ice-masses
as they came together with a startling
noise, or the giant icebergs closing one
upon the other, threatening the mariner with in-
stanb destruction — the long Winter night, cover-
ing the ear tb like a shroud — the short Summer, of
perpetual daylight. What wonder that, with such
a picture ot desolation in tbe mind, the qnesiion
arose. Of what interest to science or commerce
could such a region be? The question of Polar ex-
ploration, the question of Arctic discover.v, for
more than three centuries past, bad been a commer-
cial specnlation, and the questions of science were
eiiher ot secondary importance or entirely over-
looked. Since, however, it bad been proved that the
discovery of a north-west passsge wa.s of little value
to commerce, and that the merchant bad but little
chance in those Arctic regions, with the exception
of the pursuit of whales, seals, and walruses —
since then commerce had abandoned the field, and
science had laid claim to this great Arctic land,
oompri.sing more than 1,500,000 square miles. In
the Winter of 1875 arrangements were made
for a private expedition to the Spitzber-
gen seas, > and was intrusted to his care.
His instructions were mo take deep-sea dredgings
and measurements determining the temperatures of
the deep-sea climates and the oceanic currents, col-
lecting zoological and other matorlal; and com-
pleting these, to return overland and make anthro-
pological investigations as regarded tbe inhabitants
of tbese northern coasts. The expeditlonar.v force
left Hamburg by steamer early in the Summer, fol-
lowing the Norwegian coast, across the Arctic
Circle, to Hammerfest, the most northerly town
on the globe, where their vessel awaited tbem.
Keeping close to the coast, they held their
oonrse toward North Cape, and, although the sun
shone warmly, the black rocky hillsides were cov-
ered with palehes of snow. Toward midnight they
came in sight ot the high p'omontory, and
dropped anch6r not acable's length from North Cape.
From North Cape they took a north-east course, it
being the intention to beatabout in tbe Spitzbergen
seas off the coaft of Nova Zembla. They often
came into contact with drift-ice, but the vessel re-
ceived no material injuries, and they flnalls' struck
the large field of pack-ice. They sailed alon£ the
edge of tbe pack many days, sometimes
shut in between the detacbed masses, but no-
where able to make a passage through the field.
Numbers of seals and walruses w^ere seen lying on
ttie ice, tempting the explorers to lower their boats
and pursue them. The cruise waa very sucoessfal,
yielding valuable results, tne greater part of the
material gathered being deposited in the Buseums
of Berlin. Toward the beginning of Augiut a
heavy gale drove the little schooner to the
south-east. They then steeieJ south-
ward tiutlt they entered Porsanger i^ord.
and sailing along the coast anchored
off Swerholtklubben. an Immense rock,
afi\>rding one of the ei'eatest resiin;; places for sea
birds in the Northern Hemisphere. Here Mr. Von
Horck directed his attention to excursions in the
interior for anthropological investigation of the
inhabitants. To this end ho fitted out a smaller
and more suitable boat, taking with bim, in addi-
tion to his supplies of food, a quantity of plaster
of Pans for taking casts ot living Laplanders.
B.v these excursions he calned much informa-
tion concerning tbe wandering tribes of Lapland.
He was also fortunate in securing large and val-
uable collectioDS from heathen graves, and a
number of plaster casts of living Laps, the only
specimens of the kind in existence. The difflout-
ties he had iu obtaining tbese impressions, as well
as the anthropological measurements, were groat,
as be had to overcome their superstitious fears,
which were thoroughly aroused, even when he took
measurements with the craniometer. Skulls could
only be taken from the graves with tihe greatest se-
crecy, as the burial places were watched over with
soperstitious care.
Toward September, Mr. Von Horck male prepar-
ations for returning overland, taking a route which
has hitherto escaped description. His plan was to
proceed from Vadso to the Pattsjokki, (Holy River,)
thence acro.ss the Lake of Enata, (the largest of the
Lapland lakes,) to the Elver ivallo, which ihey
were to ascend ; then, crossing tne mountains form-
ing the water-shed, follow down the Itlver Kitinin
to the Gulf of Bothnia, thus passing through Nor-
wegian, Russian and Finnish Lapland. ,The greater
part of this journey was to be' in boats. "Vad-6,
the starting point, the site of tbe North coast
whale fisheries, lying in 79" 16' uor«h latitude and
30° eaot longitude. Following this route, m which
almost innumerable difficulties and hardships were
encountered, the party at last descended the
Kllinin River to the Gult of Bothnia, and cropsed
to Neauborg. where they were cordially received by
the Governor ot Finland. After resting here for
eome days, Mr. Von Horck took his wny across the
great oontinuons lake system of Finland to St.
Petersburg, from which city he went to Helllngs-
fors, the capital of I'inlandj thence to Sweden and
Norway, returning to Berlin in the beginning of
last Winter. In concluding his lecture, Mr. Von
Horck made a tew remarks in defense of polar ex-
ploration,
A motion by Mr. James T. Gardner, that the
thanks of the society be tendered to the gentlemen
who had read the papers during the evening, was
unanimously adopted.

AN HUMBLE MEROU DEATH.
The Chicago Tribune has the following ao-
oouut of the loss of four Uvea at the fire on West
Madison, near Canal street, that city, early on Mon-
day mornine : "It was in the Eastern House that
the loss of life took place. The flames seemed to
have enveloped the buildings in a whiff, for when
the firemen came on the spot all the buildlncs wore
ablaze. Capt. Bailwinkle and his men, who were
first on the ground, rescued all they could, and in
this work, as soon as they arrived, the firemen
bravely assisted. Kaiser's family, Cella's and Gee-
we's, as well as tbo Cookells, bad a narrow escape.
Mr. Cockell employed considerable help in his res-
taurant. They slept tn tbe rear part of the second
story, over the kitchen. The flro burned fiercely
here, and when the inmates were awakened escape
was almost cut off. Cockell and his fam-
ily were awakened by a mau named James
Alien, who boarded at the house, aud their lives
were thus undoubtedly eared. He was a tailor by
trade, thirty-seven .vears of age, aud had only come,
home from Jloston last week, where he lett a wife
and five cliildren. Tins man Ailon proved himself
n hero, and met his deatti like a martyr in trying to
save human life. After he had awakened uoarly
every one ill ttio house, ha took his overcoat upon
his arm and got out upon the aidewfilk. Finding
tnat there were joc peisaV.a in the building lie man-
need to cet back. A poor girl naiued Ajjues Healy,
aged uevouteeu, who had been a waiter at ihe
reatauianr, was half crazed, suffocating with
smoke, and crying to be saved. He seized her
around the waist, aud was aoout to carrv Her to a
window, but escape was cut off. and the two per-
ished tngethei', and in thii way they were found
charred and littleuc, clasped In each other's ein-

booies of Emma Burt, or Bradley, a dining-room
girl, and George Broad. The woman was about
twenty-four years uf ago and married, and her home
was in ColiimoUB, Ohio. Broad was an English-
man, twenty-six rears of ago. aud a clerk for Cock-
ell. The bodies were not recovered until about 7
O'clock yesterday morning, and it may seem
strange, but no one, until several hours after the
fire, had any idea that lives wers lost. The bo(^ies
were not burned so baoly as to be unrecognizable,
and their appearance seemed to indioate rather that
they were suffocated, the debris covering and in

A TBANKSaiVlNa ItEUNION.
The Springfield (Mass.) JRepublican of Nov.

four in all, meet at the old Ludlow homestead
Thursday to eat their Thanksgiving turkey and in-

hale and hearty yet, is eighty-three and his wife
eighty-one, and they have been married sixty-two
vears. The children, inclndme those by marriage,
coimt up twenty-one In all, of whom five are dead,
the grandchildren twenty-eight, sii dead, and three

at the Indian burning of the town. The Miller
family meved to Ludlow some one hundred and

afiassegi Tbo title ef tbe book before ua does
not teem to i«pl7 aaythinK which might not
be dealt with even in an entertainine manner ;
at any rate, in a manner at onoe simple and
^Mptirating. Bb) iastead of that, Mr. Uirart
lias fonnd in it material fb» one of the heayieat,
most recondite, and yet, in some respects,
imoat ' remarkable, essays he has written.
I We need hardly remind oar readers that part
laf tb« repotatiiem which Mr. 'MiTart-instly
leladiaBa has been won as the Soman Catholla
apion of what, for want of a better term,
k most eall anti-barwlniam. It is not Ions
I Wb reriewed a more ambitioua prodaotion
»f his, where his position in regard to tbe aub-
I of evolntlen and other adraneed soiantifio
Idootrines was well defined. It is well known
that he la an aoknewledgsd monthpieoe
' the great TaUgions body to which be belongs,
kd that in the opinions ho has expressed, he baa
ivadboth tbe sanction and approval of
leads of the Soman Choroh. This moat be
jbome in mind before we oan estimate all the
Imiwrtaaoe of an essay like the one before us,
: And Which -we find dedicated to tnat most prom-
" iwnt amodic recent converts to Bomanism, the
iCarqols of Sipon. -
Ostensibly the pnrpose af the work is to eon-
|aider the eahjeot at evolution Irom the several
Standpoint! of polities, solenoe, philosophy,
htad aathetioa; bat it is muoh more than that,
{it is a defense of the Soman Church, and it
talaalaya dows in a manner that justifies ns in
lealUng it remarkable, the position of that
'Church ia relation to tSie most recent advances
W selenoe* ■vJ■^ .■-,.■■-•-'/.' ,
Xn the iatrodootory ehspter the author takes
» genet^ review of the position and of hisanb-
Jeot. Contrasting the present epeeh with tbe
^fifteenth and eighteenth oeaturiea, u« eno will
;doabt that it is oregnant with manifestations
4>f giaater changes than were foreshadowed in
tither of these periods of the world's history.
Bat it is hdd that to find the oaoses for
amv madced phases in aeoial and political evo-
Intiim we most generally go far back into hia-
•iuy. This has now oome to be generally ao-
iaiiowledgad. Mid it is mainly for want of ao-
kaofwledging it that saperfioial and ephemeral
Witters fall into error. The oaoses whieh led
dunrles L and Loais XVL to the Scaffold are
cot to be sought for daring the reigns of those
nonarohs. Kor do we suppose there are many
peeple left Who believe that the independence
lofthe United States is dne to the spilling of a
few chests of tea into the waters of the At-
lantic. Mr. Mlvi^ uses this doctrine with
nneh ingenuity to sappovt what most
panois outside of the Soman Church
will' regard ■ as aa extreme view.
ARut drawing a parallel between the ancient
€hHils and the modem French, becweeir Prince
Biamarek and those old Teutons who gained
taptism through the sword of Charlemagne — be-
tween the late Carliat war and the ancient
•tmjgle of Mohammedans and Christians in the
Pyrenees — and after pointing out the tenacity
of the old religion of Pan and the survival of
CShristiani'^ in Japan in spite cf oontinnons
peraeention — he argues that it is reasonable to
onuslade that the Pantheistic Paganiam or
BStore worship of extreme antiquity is eqaally
likely to be fonnd to possess a vitality which
AaU make it revive in modem times. His
'^eory, then. Is that the inference thus drawn
hM proved to be true, and that that
aame Paganism is represented in these days
|bi Protestantism and the developments of soi-
Maee. He points out how some Pagan cus-
|t0iaa are to be traced in the customs, and,
•oaaatimes, the superstitions, of modem times.
Sa might have ^creased these illustrations
■very largely, but it is questionable whether,
In reality, any or them are apposite.
There is very much in modern cere-
ttonies and institatioms which iiad an
analogue in Pagan times ; but we are
not prepared to admit that, for example,
because the Norwegian bonfires of St.
John's Eve are traoeable to the Baal fires
•fPhoanecia, or because the days of the week
are named after Pagan deities, we moat look in
these and sipilarphenomenafor the causeof the
^velopment of inodetn thought. Mr. Mivart,
however, sees a close relation between the two,
and he follows that line in order to arHve at
the oonclosion that it is the Pantheistic and
Pagan spirit of the Aryans that now actutates
the minds of so many among all sections of
■oeiety. One of the best passages in the book
lis a sketoh of a scene during mass in an old
IXngUah Abbey during the life of Catherine of
Arragon, and another of a modem museum — the
•bjeot ot the comparison being to illustrate
tins doctrine.
The tendency of men to think for themselves,
iivBn on theologieal problems, and to refuse an
nmeonditiemal acceptance of dogmatic asser-
MaoB, eveaH though made by theological profes-
jaors, is, without doubt, a feature in the charac-
ter ot the present generation. If any one
chooses to say that it is a revival of paganism,
he can hold tbe opinion without doing anybody
jBiDoh harm. It is net a matter in itself of
' Bimh Importance, though we believe lihat the
propositien is one which may be very fairly
•mvassed, and we are not prepared to say that
the argoment could not be readily demolished.
Sot Mr. Mivart uses It as a stepping-stone to
?tiie assertion that Protestantism has failed to
'«beek this tendency — asannaing, of . course,
jflutt It is a baft tendency, and that
ithe only antidote can be found . no-
•whera but in the Beman communion. In
npholding this view he makes seme bold
Statements. He claims that the Chtireh has at
, all times respected the rights of oonBoienoe ;
■ am allegation which is inconsistent not only
(With historical faets, but with the denial of
tiiat right of private judgment to which Mr.
Mivart himself must largely attribute in the first
instance the exiatenae of modern rationalism.
He tells us that the Church has alway resisted
the assertion of reUzious control t)n the part of
the State. Bat lie forceta tbat till recently the
Obureh was itself a State, and that as such it
aonght to exercise control not only within the
limits of foreign States, and in ecclesiastical
aibirs, bntin questions of local and foreign
poliey, which were quite outside of religion .
This leads up to a condemnation of the meas-
ures reoentlv taken in Germany and Switzer-
land against the Soman hierarchy, and Mr.
Hivart falls to see that his argument is a elf-
'damnatory. For these measures were rendered
, iieeessary solely by the undue interference of
the Church in the affairs of the countries where
tiiey were undertaken. If nothing of the kind
has yet been bad reeouraia to in England, it is
only beoafse there the Ohnreh has not yet ven-
tured an a policy of aggression which would re-
pair* them.
the farther effMt oi this revived pagan spirit,
and Whether it is likely to adVanee or to re-
cede. But he outs &e ground at enoe from un-
der his OWn feet by, adding that no one nur*
tared in a narrow school of theology can hope
to be able to answer such a question. It is
often alleged, and we believe with muoh truth,
that the curriculum through which ministers
of religion and^ professors of theology are made
is always too narrow and oircumseribed ; out
if it be true anywhere, it ia particularly appli-
cable 'within the Soman Catbolio Church,
where Mr. Mivart also has been nurtured.
Tet he attempts to answer the question. He
thinks that the pagan revival will be carried to
a much greater development than it has yet
attained, and tbat it may assume a more dis-
tinctly religious aspect. He looks forward, as
to a possibility, to the establishment of a new
pagan oultus evolved in connection with the
philosophy of Herbert Spencer, whom he re-
gards ae essentially a Brahman. Bat again he
forgets that in making this supposition he
detracts from the prestige of tbat Church which
he believes to be the onlv preventive of such
tendencies. He looks forward, indeed, to a
tiwe not far distant, when, in connection with
such a cultns there will be an advocacy of tbe
murder of the unborn, the sick, the sufi'erinff,
and the old, as well is of suicide and tree love,
and an opposition to matrimony. He thinks it
probable that a ritual may be adopted by the
disciples of this advanced school, and that, in
fact, •' the revived paganism of the future may
be calculated to startle the rationalist of to-dar
fully as much as the revived paganism of to-
day would have startled a reformer of the time
of Luther."
In various places throughout the work its au
thor finds an opportunity to enter protests
against the policy of the imperial German Gov-
ernment m regard to the Roman Gatholios.
But they are not ot sufficient depth to have
much weight with any ordinary but impartial
reader. He claims, for instance, that it, ia an in-
iiringement of the rights of the citizen to pro-
hibit an episcopally nominated Soman Catbo-
lio priest from effioiating in a parish where he
is acceptable to the Soman Catholic parishion-
ers. So it IS. if that be the whole of the case.
It is an infringement of personal rights to ar-
rest a citizen in the streets and look him
up for a year or two in a
public prison. Bat if that citizen
be a thief, the whole aspect of the case changes.
So in the other instance cited. If that Soman
Catholic priest be a danger to the State, there
is no undue infringement of personal liberty in
requiring him to secure the sanction of the
Government before being allowed to continue
his ministrations. It is only dangerous men
who could reasonably object to such a require-
ment. If any others take exception to it, it is
only because they adhere to the principle — ^in-
tolerable to a free people — of the just suprem-
acy of a foreign hierarchy in an alien State.
"To impede," says Mr. Mivart, "excommu-
nication, is to deny to citizens the right to ex-
clude from a voluntary society members who
do not conform to freely chosen rules." The
Soman Church, then, is reduced to the status
of a " society." But the statement is not cor-
rect So far from the rules being "ffeely
obosen," the majority of Soman Catholics not
only have no voice m the choosing of the rules
of their "soaiety," but they know not one tit-
tle more about those rule's than the particular
priest to whom they owe allegiance chooses to
tell them, and that is very little. Indeed, it
does not follow that he knows them himself.
It is, however, impossible, in the Space at
our disposal, to indicate with any degree of
justice the many points in Mr. Mivart's remarks
which claim attention. And as tbe chapter de-
voted to the philosophy of science ou^ht not to
be passed over, we must refer the reader to
the book itself for a further elucidation of the
nature of the reasoninT employed in other
places. The examination will bo well worth
an outlay of soma little care and at-
tentien. We s^eot the section on seien-
tiflo evolution more especially on ac-
count of the persition aasumed by its
author on behalf of bis Church, and which Is
quite noteworthy. The advance of rationalism
as founded «n science he expects will be mod-
ified (1) by the action' of the principle of the
division of labor, and (2) by the special charac-
ter of some physical teaching. In connection
with the first ot these influences, he alludes to a
result which, while exceedingly probable, has
not hitherto been noticed with due prominence.
Increasing knowledge tends to the restriction
of fields of labor . Whereas a few years ago an
individual might have taken in the whole
region of zoology, he is now glad to devote him-
self to only one small section of it. Science,
hswevor, is not only increasing in complexity
and mass, but it is bacaming in
a certain measure, at least, more
dififused among the people. On the other hand,
the body of the clergy must, according to Mr.
Mivart, become smaller in consequence of the
operation of the "Eenaissanca movement."
So that while the laity is growiagin acientifio
knowledge, the clergy will have less and less
time to devote to it, and accordingly we see
another reason for tho increasing " belief in an
antagonism between soienoo and Christianity."
It will be observed that this theory assumes
the existence of tbat antagonism, and the
point is important in connection with what ia
to follow. Still it ia argued that the effect
thus stated may be modified, and here the in-
ooneistenoy that runs through the whole of Mr.
Mivart's reasoning again bacomoa apparent. He
goes on to show that in reality the domain of
Bciense is so different from tbat of theology
that it becomes very difficult to nnderstand
how any oonfiict oan possibly arise between
them, t^till we know that it has arisen, and
from one reason which Mr. Mivart omits to
mention — ^tbat, although the domain of tho two
may be and ia diflFerent, the end of both ia or
ought to be the same. We can cordially agree
with him when he attributes muoh of this dif-
ference also to the mixing up of metaphysical
theories with scientific developments, though it
should be remembered that this has always
been done by another set of men. He goes
rather out of his way to ridicule some of tbe
writings of Prof. Haeekel, with whom no one
would expect him to have any sympathy ; yet
if the author of the History of Creation ia to be
refuted in no more effective manner than that
whieh Mr. Mivart has adopted, his position
must be regarded as practically unassailable.
While, however, Mr. Mivart tells ua that the
mixing up of metaphyaias with physical scienee
— for which we would remind him the profesaora
of physical science are in no degree responsible
— must naturally tend to make Christian minis-
ters assume a jealous if not hostile attitude to-
ward physical science, ho errs very seriously.
Christian ministers have assuredly no right to
blame science for the innovations af metaphy-
sics ; still less have they any right to use them
as an excuse for protesting against the de-
velopments of physical inquiry. The blane,
if there be any, should surely fall where it can
fall justly.
But after anrelaborate argument showing the
fatal tendency of modern ratioaalism ; after
depicting its atrooiousness by comparing it
with ancient Paganism ; after reflecting on the
doctiines of Spencer as Brahminioal ; after re-
newed sneers at the theories of Darwin and the
teachings of Haeokel; after defining the antagon-
ism between science and theology, and explain-
ing its cause ; after claiming that the Church —
thatii,the Soman Church — is the only obstacle to
a rampant infidelity and materialism, and after
priesthood must become leas able to eope with
the growth of soientiflo knowledga among the
people, Mr. Mivart makes tbe followmg State-
ment. He declares tbat the antagonism be-
tween soienoe and— not religion, be it noted,
but theology — ^is not real. He declares tbat
there is no trace of its reaUty " aave in such a
proof case as the application of the evolutionary
hypothesis to the appearance of new species of
animals." If, now, he were a priest m the
Church, we might conceive the possibility of
his not grasping the full force of such
an avowal. But, Mr. Mivart is himself
a disciple of science, and he can hardly fail to
see that it implies an absolute acceptance on
the part of the Church of all the fundamental
principles of evolution. And yet he lays it
down also as incontrovertible tbat the asser-
tions of Christian theology are not capable of
disproof; so that either he lands us out of his
argument into a sea of inextricable cohfusien,
or else we mnst believe that the Soman Church
is, in his judgment, ready to accept the teach-
ings of the evolutionists and to graft them on to
its system of theology.
Yet another instance of the aame kind of be-
wildering assertion and counter-assertion may
be mentioned. We have seen how the conclu-
sion is arrived at that in the near future we
are to look to the existence of a ritual and re-
ligion based on materialism, free love, and so
on ; and here the clergy wiU be rendered less
capable, for want of a knowledge of physical
science, of coping with it. Yet. as if forgetting
that, Mr. Mivart in a subsequent page teUs us
his conviction that precisely the same influ-
ences— scientific development and diffusion, and
anti-Chnstian doctrines — ^will tend to the pro-
duction of a clergy and a laity more thoroughly
Christian and scientific than the world has yet
seen. He goes on then to the ac-
knowledgment that recent discoveries in both
physiology and anthropology are smgularly
harmonious with the traditional teachings of the
R Oman Church ; and to the avowal that while
It has been' supposed that it is some Christian
doctrine that is refuted, it is but a post-Cartesian
superstition tbat is laid low. He insists that
that Church is invulnerable against any devel-
opments of scienee simply because it has assert-
ed beforehand principles amply sufficient to
shield it from such attacks. He allows that
the authenticity of Genesis may be everthrown,
bat not the teachings of St. Augustine.
Mr. Mivart has so long been regarded as an
authoritative exponent of the relations be-
tween science and his Church that we cannot
consider him in any different light at the
preaent time. But we are much mistaken if
the definition be now gives of the state of these
relations does not seem a little startling to per
sons outside of the Soman communion. Aa-
suming that it is correct — and there ia no reason
whatever for doubting its absolute accuracy —
Soman Catholic teaching has fallen into accord
with the moat extreme hypotheses of modern
science. Mr. Mivart, it is true, puts tho state-
ment in a form conversely to that, but the form
is not material. It is tbe annouBcement, com-
ing, too, from so genuine a source, tnat will
surprise. Any objection that may arise in the
minds of his readers to Mr. Mivart's obscurity
of style, and to the web of eonfusion and en-
tanglement into which ho drags those who try
to follow bis line of argument, and who mis
takenly look for a logiOal method of reasoning,
will have their difficulties and disappointments
more than compensated by a keen sense of ad-
miration for his courage and audasicy.

XJRIAL OF THE IMMORAL 80H00LMASTER.
The trial of George H. Gaulier, Professor of
French at the Moun£ WaahinKton Institnte, who
was arrested by Mr. Anthony Comstock for having
in his possession filthy books and plctares, was re-
sumed before Recorder Hackett yesterday, in Part
I. of the Court of General Sessions. Gaulier's of-
fense was all the more heinous from tbe fact that
he ■ was known where he exhibited tne indeoent
publications to the yonths with whom he came in
contact. Assistant District Attorney Bell baring
closed a strong case for the prosecution the pre-
vious day, Mr. Howe, prisoner's counsel, moved for
an acquittal, on the ground of irregularities in the
indictment. The Beoorder denied the motion.
The prisoner then took the stana, and denied
that he had ever shown tlio pictures oir
books to tbe students of the Packard Institute for
Boyb, the Mount Washington Institnte, or any ot
the other instiiations of learnine in which he had
tauKbt. The cross-examination of Asei'ttant Dis-
trict Attorney Belt, and the evideiicfi produced by
him in rebuttal, completely falsified Gaulier's state-
ments, and the jury, without leaving their seats,
found the prisoner gwiltj of the obaree. Mr. Bell
aubsequcntly arraigned bim on the old charge of
Stealing letters from his fallow-students at the Gen-
eral Theological Seminary some ten years ago, and
by fi)rging the indorsement on checks, prounrinz
money thereon. Superintendent Gavler testified
that Gaulier was the man who was then arrested
nnder the name of George C. D. S. Ganttier, and
who, having admitted his guilt, was indicted and
broueht beloro Beoorder Hoffman. Sentence was
at that time suspended at the urgent request of sev-
eral of Gaulier's friends, who believed that he had
only falleh from grace. After the identification of
Gaulier, Mr. Bell asked that be be remaniled for
trial on the other two Indictments pending n^ainsc
him, on the disposition of which he could be sen*
fenced on all foar charges. The Kecorder so ordered,
and the disgraced teacher was sent back to the
Tombs.

B ALSTON, TBE FOBOEB, CONVICTED.
The trial of Charles Ralston for forgery was
conolnded yesterday in the Court of Oyer and
Terminer, before Chief Justice Davis. After ah
able summing up by A. Oakey Hall for the prison-
er and by District Attorney Phelps, tho court de-
livered a careful cbarge'to the jury. Thei latter re-
tired at 5 P. M., and returned lo the court-room
eight minutes Jater. They found the prisoner
euilty on the sooond and fourth counts of tlie in-
dictment, which cbarired him with uttering and
passing a forged bond on the Now-Tork Guaranty
and Indemnity Oompanv. On motion of Mr. Hall
the prisoner was remanded fox sentence. The
court was then adjonrned until Dec. 11, when it is
believed Balaton will bo tried on other indictments.

Wednesday, Nov. 29 — P. M.
Speculators are usuaUj'diBinclined to em-
bark in any fresh adventure on the eve of a
holiday, and tho presence of this feeling to-day-
was made manifest in the paucity of the trans-
actions. The entire business footed up only
86,558 shares, which embraced 41,000 Lake
Shore, 12,400 Western Union, 5,700 Michigan
Central, 5,300 St. Paul, 4.600 Wabash, 3,400
North-western, and 2,800 Union Pacific. Lake
Shore was weak, opening at 56?&, and steadily
declined to 55%, from wbiob point there was a
rally to 56\6, the closine transactions being at
55%® 56. Wee tern Union made an advanoe of
Mi ¥ cent, olosine at 72Mi. The Granger
shares were well sustained. North-western
common advanced from 35% to 36^, and the
preferred from 59 to 59%, the lattei* closing at
a reaction of M» ?>' cent. Uniou Pacific foil
ofiffrom 58V4 to 57%, and closed at 57 ?«. The
coal shares wore dull and steady. Appear-
ances indicate that the short interest in these
stocks is nearly, if not entirely, closed out.
Investment shares were firm.
The Purchasing Committee of the Wabash
Kailway Company advertise in our coluums to-
day the terms and conditions under which
stockholders in the old company may subscribe
to that of the new.' This privilege of subscrip-
tion extends only to Dec. 23. The committee
claims that tbe amount of interest obliisatiuns
of the new concern will be $3,000,000 less than
those of the old. The earninffs of 1876 show a
gam of $438,000 in the ten months ending Nov.
1, over those of 1875.
Tbo money market worked smoothly to-day,
and Stock Exchange borrowers supplied their
requirements at 3a>4 per cent. Toward the
elose, as usual preceding a holiday or Sunday,
the oflferiugs were large, capitalists bemg
anxious to place their fuada In order
to secure two days' interest. Discounts
are tmchanged. The National Bank notes
received at Washington for redemption to, day
amounted to $600,000. The new National Bank
circulation created during the month of
November was ?624,000, against which 80
per cent, legal tenders have beui retired.
The rates of exchange on New-York at the
undermentioned cities to-day were : Savannah,
^ offered ; Charleston, offerings Ught, nomi-
nally % to ^, aellinK par ; Clneinnati, dull, 100
discount; New-Orleans, oommeroial, 9-16, bank,
Vi ; St. Louis, 125 to 175 discount, and Chicago,
1-10 discount.
The foreign advices reported the London
market lower for consols, on fresh rumprs in
regard to tbe Eastern question, and firm for
United States bonds, which advanced H®Ui
9^% ye8torda.r. UnUed States old 1865i at
103^ ©103%, 18678 at 109%, l6.40g at l(fr% md
now Ss at 106%. Erio was steady for the com-
mon at 9M»®9%, and Mt f*" cent, highet for
the preferred, at 17.' To-morrow will be
fortnightly settling day at tbo Lon-
don Bto^k Exchange. The lurtber sum of
£212.000 sterling was withdrawn fiom tbe Bank
of England on balance to-day, for shipment
to this country. A dispatch received late in
the afternoon says that the steam-tUp Brl-
taimic. which sails from Liverpool to^Borrow,
for New-York, will take otit »1,250,000 in
American gold coin. It is not positively known
whether this amount forms part of the sum
withdrawn from the Bank of England to-day,
but it possibly does.
Tne Sterling Exchange market was very
quiet, with bueinesa »t |4 SHi-^M 81 Mi for
bankers, sixty days, and at $4 83 ®|4 83^4 for
demand drafts. Tho feature of tbe market oon-
tinuea to bo the free oderin;^ of commercial
bills, the chief source of supply being the ac-
tive movement of the great staple of the So^b
of Europe.
Tho downward moyement in gold made
further progress to-dav, and was accompanied
by large sales. The belief in a speedy and
peaceful solution of tbe political probleia in
the Soutii has undoubtedly contributed to
weaken the market, but a more positive
element of weakness is tbe movement ot specie
from England to Naw-York. Many millivna
are now on the way, and with the present
ruling of exchange there is likely *to fee further
large shipments from the other side. Unless
matters in the South assume a graver aspect,
ana the Eastern complications lead to a war
in Europe, -whioh, from present appearances,
does not seem likely, a still further de-
cline in the gold premium would not
bo surprising. A fact not to ba tver-
looked, however, ii the poasibility that
the market may be largely oversold, in wliicb
event the effect of the above influenoes might
be neutralized. To-day the indications did
not point to the existence of a large short inter-
est, holders of cash gold taVing paid from 1
to 4 per cent, to have balances carried
over. In exceptional instances, lowis
were made flat Gold opened at 103 Ms, and af-
ter touchini; 108%, the lowest point since No-
vember, 1873, recovered to 108%, The in-
creased business in the Gold Room since th*
recent decline set in is refieoted in the olear-
ings 6f the Gold Exchange Bank, which yester-
day amounted to over $37,000,000.
Government bonds were heavy in the eafly
dealings, and prioea declined ^ to ^ ^ cent.,
tbe latter in 6s of 1881, whioh sold down to
ll6Mt for registered, and to 117 for oeupoa.
New 58, coupon, declined Mi ^ cent., touching
111%. ITie other issues fell o£f M'S^k V cent.
Bailroad mortgages were firm and generally
higher than yesterday. Toledo and Wabash
Firsts sold at 104'9l04Vi, an advance of 1®1%
^ cent since yesterday. At the close a reac-
tion took place to 103 Vi. Milwaukee and St
Paul Consolidated Sinking Fonda rose 1 V
cent, reaching SS. Harlem sold at 1I8®118!4
for Firsts. Central Pacifies fell off to 109,
Union Pacific Firsts to 105V|, Land Grants to
10014, Now-Jersey Central Convertible to 76^4,
and Ohio and Mississippi Seconds to 45Vji;
State Bonds were dull and steady.
To-morrow being a legal holiday, all tite
banks and various financial institutions will b«
closed, and no businesB will be transacted at
the Exchanges.

THE NEW-YOEK TIMES.
.^':^C^^i --L: FOB 1877.' ■• ''
The wjtffse of Thb Times during the Pres-
tdential campaisn has seoared for it hosts of
^w frieads, and ha« placed beyond contro-
tetBj its position as the foremost Bepnbliean
Journal in the United States. Danng
|tiie political struiiKle preceding the election,
^Qie fullness. aocnracy, and laimess
ttf its news reports were as obvions
M its vigor and breadth of view
as an orsan ol pnblic opinion. The critical sit-
nation m trbioh the country is placed by the
^jdlspnted resnit of the election baa been prompt-
ly reoognized by The Times, but it baa found
3M> reason to piodify the claim which it urG;ed,
^one amonsT its contemporaries, that the vote
"of the 7tb of November secured a majority of
cleet(H«lTotesfor HATSSand Whbelbb. Head-
ers of The Times on the day following the
cleotion were placed in possession of returns
tvbioh were simply tbe most complete and
trustworthy published in any part ot the Union.
The more thoroughly the facts of the election
«re disentangled firom the mass of Democratic
jialsebood and pretense which has been thrown
kroand them, the more clearly is the justice re-
fVealed of the claims made by The TniES tbe
tnoming after election.
Now that the election ofHATES and Wheei^b
is perceived by impartiaLobservers of both par-
ties to be a certainty. The Times recognizes the
ffresh responsibilities wftiich this renewal of a
jSreat public trust imposes upon the Bepnbliean
l>«rty. The TncES waa among the foremost de-
jfendetB of the principles of purifloation and re-
jfcKB within tJie party which triumphed
in the nomination of Rcthbrforo B.
' jHxTES at Cinciiin<kti. It will be as
ipBoaiinent and as unoomprotaiBing in
jfto demand for the ombodiment of those prlncl-
fples in admmistratiTe and legislative action.
■The election haa given rise to Constitutional
controversies, whose discussion may last for
imonths to oome, and whose settlement may tax
aU the good sense, forbearance, and law-abiding
instinots of the people at large. It will
be our constant endeavor to cor-
Teet excdted feelmg by dispassionate
arjounsnt, "to urge the supreme necessity ot
|Doderati(Hi and fair dealinj;, and *o place the
teaponsibility for stirring up strife where it
))eIonga. But we shall do so without abating
Dae jot of the just demands of a party whiph
ylamds seeaTelv on tlie right, and of a, people
the Integrity of whose institutions depends on
It scrupoioas obedience to the demands of law.
) Ib the agitation of the oonstltutionall ques-
titng irhicb haye been forced upon public at-
tention by the closeness of the late election,
The Timbs will not cease to insist upon the
?»e«eagitT ot some approach to uniformity of
tewthod in the proceedings taken by State
and lorcai boards to ascertain the vote le-
fally cast for Presidential Electors and
taemlfars of Conccress. It will defend
the right of individual States to have the deo-
lara/ jon of their will, by the recognized authori-
ties of 8uoh6tates,protcctedby all the safegtiards
Cr^doh have been thrown around it by the letter
f the Constitution "and the usage sanctioned
*>y its authors. But It will none the i less
Inaist on the duty of Congress to
devise means, by Constitntional amendment or
otherwise, whereby citizens of the United States
may be protected against virtual disfranohise-
ment through imperfections in the mechanism
2>revided by any State for securing an honest
•ooDt of their votes. While carefully avoiding
^1 that may tend to promote sectional animos-
ity among our people, The Times will urge,
■with the utmost decision, the national duty
!of protecting the freedmen and the
iKorthem. immigrants in the South in
the possession of rights guaranteed them by the
Constit.utlon. It will do all in its power to
promo te the policy of peace and coaelliation
between North and South, but will not lose
ngb t of the fact that Northern confidence and
wn nesty must find their return in the enforce-
in/ int of even-handed justice and scrupulous re-
g^ard for the letter and spirit of the law on the
•part of the South.
• Its influence an a leading exponent of politi-
ral opinion will be strengthened by all that is
needful to enhance the value of The Times as
a daily record of news. The acknowledged
excellence of its correspondence by mail and
telegraph from all parts of the world will
bo folly maintained. In the sphere of literary
and artistic criticism, of soientiflo, social,
and general discussion, it will address itself,
as heretofore, to the appreciation of the edu-
cated and intelligent classes of the American
people. It will bo lively without being sensa-
tional, ageressivo without being coarse ; at all
times it will strive to be fearless and in-
dependent in the championship of the
righi. No theories subversive of the prin-

The Democrats do not like to give up
Florida. On Tuesday Mr. Manton Marble
telegraphed some astonishing claims re-
garding that State, and crowed mildly over
what he was pleased to call the "aus-
picions result." Yesterday the plan was
developed by which the Democrats ex-
pected to make tbe result '' auspicious."
Testimony was introduced to show that in
the Second Precinct of Archer Towuship,
in Alachua County only 316 votes
were cast, of which the Bepablicans had
180. To the surprise and disgust of the
managers, the Eepublicaus produced the
affidavits of 289 voters, to the effect that
they bad voted the Republican tickets. The
next thing in ordflt will be to prove that
the Democrats themselves committed ex-
tensive trauds. It is clear that tbe Eepnb-
lioans of Florida are too sharp, as well as
too well established in the right, for their
opponents. It is noticeable, too, that when
the face of returns show a Hepublican
mtgority, the Democratic objection i to exer-
cising judicial powers and reviewing the
facts behind the returns vanishes with
great certainty.
Undannted by contradiotions of previous
reports, tbe Wwld continues to invent mes-
sages from more or less prominent Republi-
cans taGou.HATES, advising him to with-
draw his name from the Presidential con-
test, and allow Mr. Tilden to be quietly in-
stalled ID bis place. It does not appear to
occur to the World that the Presidency is
not a personal perquisite, but a
public trust. Gen. Hayks has shown most
emphatically by his course during the cam-
paign that he regarded it as the latter,
while Mr. Ttlden has given some color to
the impression that he adopted the former
view. The theory of Gen. Hates precludes
him from doing more than quietly await-
ing the cohstitutional mandate to
take the place for which the votes
of the people have designated him.
Mr. TiLDEU has been as obtrusive of his per-
sonal influence and desires before and since
the election, as Gen. Hayes has been spar-
ing in the exercise or expression of his.
The one has played and is playing the part
of a political gambler ; the other, of a dig-
nified and seli'-respecting statesman. Any
advice abont the personal action of Presi-
dential candidates had better be addressed
to Mr. TiLBEN. Gen. Hayes can only be
reached through the Republican Party.
Official action has been had in regard to
the Third Massachusetts District, in which
the election of a member of the House of
Representatives has been claimed by both
parties. The result as declared by the Ex-
ecutive Council is, Walb ridge A. Field, Re-
publican, 9,320; BEN.JAMIX Dean, Democrat,
9,315 ; all others 6, of which " Field " has 3
and "■ William A. .Field " 1. This gives the
seat to Mr. Field. In the-Third District of
Missonri, tbe election is given to Mr. Lyons
Metcalf, Eepublican ; we had previously
credited it to Mr. E. C. Frost, Democrat.
This change leaves the Republicans in the
Forty-fifth Congress, 141; the Democrats,
149, and three yet to be elected in New-
Hampshire. The Democratic majority is,
on the present showing, 8, and will probably
be reduced to 5. The bearing of this fact
on the preposterous claim of an enormous
popular majority by the Democrats is too
plain to require pointing out.
. The Dundee (Scotland) Advertiser of Nov.
11, published a London letter which con-
tained the following significant statement :
" Although the result of the Presidential
election was not known in the dity to-day,
it is remarkable that for the first time in
many years business was done in Confeder-
ate bonds. Sales were effected at two and a
half per cent., and if it should turn out
that Mr. Tilden is elected, there will prob-
ably be a great deal of speculation in these
once celebrated stocks." The transac-
tions here relerred to were, of
course, gambling of the most des-
perate sort. Whatever Mr. Tildkn's ad-
ministration, had he been elected, might
have done for those who lost by the
rebellion, it is quite certain that noth-
ing would have been done for the particu-
lar class who hold Confederate bonds. These
unlucky persons are almost all foreigners,
and could be of no sort of use to Mr. Til-
DKN or his party. If they had votes in the
"solid South" which the Democrats ex-
pected to establish, it would have been a
very different matter. But the incident is
worth noting as showing how the relations
of the Democratic candidate to the South
are regarded abroad. Had there been no
possibility of his election, we may be sure
that Confederate bonds would have been
left undisturbed in the dust which has gath-
ered on them under Eepublicaa rule.

The minor Democratic organ in this City,
the FForld, is mapping olit a iiuo lot of work
for its party in the approachiug short ses-
sion of Congress. It yesterday called for
the impeachment of President Grajsjt and
Secretary of War Camkron. When we re-
member that at tho last session, the Demo-
cratic House undertook the impeachment of
a Cabinet officer for a crime which
he himself confessed ; that it was ouly
with the utmost difficulty, on account
of the bungling and squabbling
of its committees, that the matter was
finally got before the Senate; and that
once there, tho most effective part of its
management fell upon a Republican, the
prospect of tha House doing anything with
the fVorld's suggestion Is very slight.
Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the
Herald, which takes a bitterly partiHau view
of the South Carolina business, admits that
there were " at least 8,000 Democrats pres-
ent in Columbia, accustomed to tbe use of
arms, with arms probably upon their per-
sons." Under such ciromustancRo^ the
question is, whether an ounce of preven-
tion was not worth a pound of cure. Had.
the Federal troops been kept from guard-
ing the Legislature, and had the State-
house been seized by these armed Demo-
crats; as it snrely would have been, the
party organs would have seen nothing
wrong in it. It would then have been the
other ox that was gored.
Our Washington dispatches point to tbe
selection of either Mr, Randall or Mr. Mor-
RisoK as tbe Speaker of the Honso for the
next session. These gentlemen are said to
have formed a sort of partnership, with the
indorsement of Mr. Tjlden to back them.
In railroad language, they are to " pool "
their influence, Mr. Randall to have the
first chance for the election to be secured
by the Common stock. Mr. Cox, mean-
while, holds himself in the field in order to
repay Mr. Sayler for stealing the Speaker-
ship pro tempore from him last Summer.
Either Morrisox or Randall is an abler
man than Cox, and Morrison has showed
himself in the main a much fairer one.
Randall, on the other hand, is very head-
strong, and not over-scrupulous, and not,
we should say, likely to serve the purposes
which the Democrats have in view as well
as a more temperate person.
to spread his table generously. Family and
social ties will now be renewed andstreiigth-
ened. The poor will be remembered, and
at least one day of good cheer will fall to
those who are struggling against pinching
want.
THANKS&iriNG DAT.
The harvest festival, as we are beginning
td call our annual day of thanksgiving, con-
stantly grows in favor with the whole
people. How far its original meaning and
purpose have been changed we need not
curiously inquire. The day, originally set
apart by a solemn proclamation by the Gov-
ernor ot the State, is now first desig-
nated by the President of the United
States. The Governors, almost without
exception, follow the lead of the Presi-
dent, and adopt the date fixed upon
at Washington. One of, the results of
the war was this changing of Thanks-
giving from a local to a national
festival. It was President Lincoln who, in
the midst of the stress and anxiety of the
rebellion, thought it fit to call upon, all the
people to thank God for the bnght pros-
pects of a restoration of union, peace, and
good will which then appeared. Previous
to that time, however, the observance of a
day of thanksgiving had become quite gen-
eral throughout the Republic. Lincoln's
official recommendation was applauded and
accepted, and his example has been fol-
lowed by his successors.
If we had nothing else to be thankful
for, we should be churlish aud ungrateful
indeed if we felt no thrill of satisfaction
when we contrast this anniversary feast
with its first institution. A little company
of colonists, devout^feeble, and sore beset,
founded a religious feast to commemorate
their deliverance from famine. That they
had, at last, a plenty of the rude fare which
was their staff of life was thought an abun-
dant occasion for a solemn ceremony of
thanksgiving. The handful of beleaguered
exiles has increased and multiplied. The
band of hardy adventurers has become a
great people. The widely-separated colo-
nies have long since lost their individuality
in the mighty nation into which they have
been merged, as rivers are lost in the sea.
The comforts, luxuries, and conveniences of
an advanced civilization have replaced the
poverty and barenness of the primitive settle-
ments. Cities and towns, crowded with the
fruits of material prosperity and the evi-
dences of high culture, stud the surface of a
continent but lately reclaimed from sav-
agery and solitude. The land is belted vrtth
iron roads and richly-freighted water-ways.
The commercial cities of the Republic are
known with honor throughout the civilized
■world; and tbe national ensign ia seen on
every sea. It is impossible to recall this
wonderful progress and development with-
out a glow of gratitude. And we may be
thankful that what has been done for our
own people has been done in the interests
of all humanity.
As Thanksgiving Day came to be more
universally observed, its celebration took on
a political as well as a religious character. In
New England, where the feast was founded,
the clergymen embraced that opportunity of
preaching a political sermon ou a secular
day. Mingled with the strain of devout
thanksgiving were the opinions of the
preacher concerning public affairs and na-
tional politics. This festival aud Fast Day
were the ouly preaching days of the whole
year in which the mmister might tell his
flock from the pulpit just what he thought
about certain things which related to the
general weal of the body politic. Fortu-
nately, the day has never degenerated
into an occasion for political discussion.
Everybody is inclined to make the best of
our national political condition. In spite of
disorders, dissensions, and signs of violence,
the Eepublic has been preserved in its in-
tegrity, and with its promise of future use-
fulness to the human race yet undimmed.
It has borne the strain of a long civil war
without permanent loss of vigor. It is
bearing a severe test of the patience and
forbearance of its people, as well as a tost
of the endurance of its Constitution, with-
out a symptom of collapse. Though debate
and rancor have risen high, and the question
of filling a great office has been held in sus-
pense for weeks, a numerous, widely-dis-
persed, butlaw-abidiug people has preserved
its peace and eqaUibrium. A crisis which
might have brought political chaos upon
almost any other nation will leave us
streugtliened by the severity of its sudden
strain. If the spectacle of forty millions of
people, calmly and without serious disorder,
choosing their chief executive officers is '
calculated to move the admiration of man-
kind, we may well felicitate ourselves that
a long period of jjolitical suspense has not
ended in disaster aud confusion. We are at
peace without securing its blessing by any
sacrifice of national honor. While other
nations, distracted by territorial or dynasLic
ambitions, ai'a trembling on the verge of
war, we are preparing tor a new career of
prosperity, secure against^the waste, woe,
and want of an armed struggle.
Although the languid currents of trade
have not been quickened to their usual flow,
aud we share with all civilized nations in a
prevailing depression, we have abundantly
thrived. Nowhere else in the world aro tho
comforts of life so equally distributed.
And, as tbe harvest-tide has passed, avo
have seen the kindly fruib of the earth
gathered in profusion. The harvest has been
a rich one, and ho who celebrates the day
with feastinc need not be pinched in order
DEMOCRATIC CRIMES IN LOUISIANA.
Ex-Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, is right.
"The question" in Louisiana "Is broader
now than President-making — it is one of
humanity." The declaration might well
carry consternation inco the crowd of con-
spirators who are endeavoring, by auda-
cious falsehood and perjury, to obtain the
vote of the State for .Mr. Tilden. It is,
however, a declaration that will be echoed
wherever the testimony that called it forth
becomes known. Gov. Palmer is not alone
in its utterance among the Northern Demo-
crats. Gen. Smith, of Wisconsin, another
of the number, shares his indignation, and
tells the New-Orleans Democrats, "You
have deceived us." They have tried to
hide the horrors of thein canvass, and must
face the stern realities after all.
In the narratives we published yesterday
there is nothing absolutely new. The cases
of poor PiNKSTON and his family, and of Ben-
jamin James, are simply the counterpart of
cases that have been reported again and
again, not only from Louisiana, but from
Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and South
Carolina. The circumstances under which
James and Mrs. Pinkston have appeared
as witnesses happen, however, to possess
exceptional importance ; while the fact that
their statements on the instant elicit de-
nunciations of the guilty parties from
prominent Northern Democrats is an
answer to the partisanship that would
scout the witnesses and their story
as unworthy of belief There are hundreds
of colored Eepublicaus in Louisiana whose
experience has been exactly identical with
that of Ben. James. Adhesion to the Ee-
publican Party was the only crime charge-
able against him. For this he was seized,
driven to a Democratic camp, hunted into
the woods, shot, maimed, and, bleeding and
fainting; left for dead. The poor wretch,
with an arm broken and his skull-bone par-
tially fractured, with a wound in his side,
and barely strength to crawl, managed to
obtain help and succor. He is crippled for
life. There is no equivocation in his story.
He tells who seized him, who fired upon
him, and who pursued him with the
savagery of a bloodhound and aimed what
was supposed to be his death-shot as he lay
helpless in a ditch. No denial is attempted.
The evidence, shocking as it is, and com-
promising as it must be to leading Demo-
crats in Ouachita Parish, passes unchal-
lenged. And it is only a sample of cases
that may be counted by the thousand in the
remote districts of Louisiana, all bearing
the same partisan significance. The Demo-
crats had resolved to silence active Repub-
lican negroes, and either to frighten the rest
from the polls or to coerce them into sup-
porting the Democratic ticket, and Ben.
James tells how they went about the work.
Eliza Pinkston's statement is quite as cohe-
rent and clear as James', and infinitely more
horrible. Her husband, a zealous Eepubli-
can, had been coerced into joining a Demo-
dratio club. Its white leaders suspected
him, however, and visited his cabin at 3
o'clock in the morning of the Sunday pre-
ceding the election. They demanded ad-
mittance and were refused. They broke
down the door an crushed into the room.
All were white, and five of them were
reecogniaed by Pinkston's wife, as leading
Democrats of the neighborhood. Pinkston
they dragged from his bed and murdered in
the presence of his wife ; they cut
the throat of an infant who lay at the side
of its wounded mother ; and after ravishing
her, cut and shot her in several places, leav-
ing her covered with wounds, and with
hardly strength enough to go through the
shocking recital. It was this case which
provoked Gov. Palmer into the manly out-
burst of indigiiation at the brutality which
could make murder a means of electing Mr.
Tilden, and at the heartlessness of the
community among whom occurrences of this
sort go unpunished. His feeling upon both
points must have been intensified by the
display of popular fury which occurred in
the city on Tuesday night. The New-
Orleans mob have no menaces for
Dr. YouNa and his accomplices in the
terrible scene in Pinkston's cabin, but they
were clamorous for vengeance against the
dying woman, and were kept in check only
by a strong force of Police. They had no
sympathy for the victims, n*> crv for the
punishment of the brutal murderers — only
anger against the witness whose evidence
fastened guilt upon conspicuous Democrats,
and revealed some of the methods by whicb
Eepublican majorities in the rural parishes
were overcome.
We have said that incredible as these
stories are, they are in perfect keeping
with the history of the Democratic Party
wherever there is a large colored constitu-
ency, during the last half-dozen years.
Louisiana teemed with just such incidents
iu 1868. Men were murdered m sight of
their farnilies, with accompanying atrocities
as revolting as those detailed by Mi-s.
Pinks i ON. Wholesale massacres' were
perpetrated by secret political societies, in-
tent upon defeating Eepublican candidates.
At a moderate estimate, 800 colored men
were butchered in cold blood, in
Louisiana aloue, with a view to the
destruction of Republican majorities.
Not an election has occured since
then in which the same system of terrorism
has not been employed. The lives of col-
ored men. have been held as of no account,
if their sacrifice could help tiie Democratic
cause. The .contest just closed has been
marked by all the old Democratic methods.
Brevet Major-Gen. Bkooks, of the Third
United States Infantry, yesterday testified
positively upon this point. For ten mouths
preceding the election, he declares, nothing
was left undone' that could inspire terror
among the negroes. Men were dragged o ver
rough roads, with ropes around their
necks, aud whipped. Others were
pulled from their beds, and driven into
woods and swamps, from which tfiey never
emerged. Murders were so frequent that
Coroners were warned that they must hold
no inquests, and in tho majority of cases
iuquoats were not held. The effect, as
described by Major-Gen. Brooks, is not sur-
prising. In the back districts, where the
Democrats boast of largo majorities, tlie
colored voters were so frightened that they
staid away from the polls. Here and there
were a few who. to secure thair lives, acted
with the Democrats, but the great majority
preferred practical dis&ancliisement,with all
the risks of flogging and shooting which
prevailed, to desertion of the Republican
Party.
Had these things occurred in a remote
province of Turkey, Europe would have
stood aghast, and Americans would have
shouted as loudly as Englishmen for the
punishment of all concerned. The Bashi-
Bazouks, however, have done nothing more
horrible than has been done by the Demo-
crats of Louisiana. The cry for tbe de-
struction of Turkish authority has gone up
from both continents as a result of the
atrocities committed by its irregular sol-
diery. The Louisiana Democrats, on the
other hand, actually propose, by virtue of
their murderous zeal, to make Mr. Tilden
President of the United States, and the great
body of the Democratic Party applaud their
efforts, and sneer at the record of their
crimes as " fuss " and " far-fetched stuff."
To direct attention to the damning facts,
is by the same partisans, scouted as hoist-
ing the " bloody shirt." Gov. Palmer says
truly of tbe Louisiana whites, that " Sher-
idan should hold with a grip of fron, a
people who can see such infamy without re-
tnonstrance even in their public prints."
What shall be said with regard to the Dem-
ocratic Party, which, through its newspapers
deprecates Gov. Palmer's indignation as
misplaced, and sustains, without a blush,
the men who are responsible for brutalities
and outrages as shocking as any reported
from Bulgaria T
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
On Wednesday next the duly appointed
Presidential Electors meet in their respect-
ive States to take the first important step in
the election of a President. We invite the
attention of Republican Flectors and of our
Republican friends to the supreme impor-
tance of the strictest compliance with the
letter of the law in the proceedings of
that day. While we hold that neither
the President of the Senate nor either
house of Congress can go behind the re-
turns or deny the validity of the certifi-
cates of the Electors and of the State
Executives, nevertheless there should be
afforded no pretext for an attempt to med-
dle with these returns because of the most
trifling informality. If the Electpral Col-
lege of any State does not embrace lawyers
among its members, it would be prudent and
wise to have the counsel of professional
men in preparing the proper forms.
The law is imperative that the Electors
shall meet on the first Wednesday in De-
cember at the place of meeting appointed
by the State law. The Executive of each
State is required, on or before that date,
to deliver te them three certified lists of the
names of the Electors chosen. The Electors
must vote by ballot, naming, in separate
ballots, the person selected for each office
to be filled by them. They mtist then make
and severally siam three certificates of all
the votes given by them, each of which
certificates shall contain two sepa-
rate lists of their votes for Pres-
ident and Vice President, to which
certificates must be attached official lists
of the Electors, furnished by the Executive
of the State. They must then seal up these
certifieates, and indorse on the outside that
the package contains a list of "all the
votes " of the particular State for Presi-
dent and Vice President. The Electors, or
a majority of thom, must give a written
appointment to some proper person to tak e
charge of and deliver one of these pack-
ages to the President of the Senate ; they
must forward immediately by mail another
package to the same office}: at Washington,
and the third package of votes they must
cause at once to be delivered to the Judge
of the judicial district in w^hich tho El ec-
tors have been assembled.
These are the duties Imposed on, and the
formalities required of, the Presidential
Electors when they come together one week
hence. Of course, if there are vacaijeies to
be filled, they must be filled in strict con-
formity to the local laws of each State.
Heretofore the certificates and official pro-
ceedings of the Electoral Colleges have
been looked upon as mainly matters of form.
Now the 7 are matters of substance, touch
the-^ foundations of civil government, aud
go to the essence of things. We trust that
through no negligence, inadvertence, or
treachery of any Elector will the party
that preserved the Republic lose control
of its Government.
A Dtiti OF TUIKri£S.
The old saying that one-half of the people
in the world do not know how the other
half live, was freshly illustrated by a dis-
covery which the Police made in James
street the other day. It is possible that
many City readers of The Times do not
know that James street is a passage leading
from Chatham street to James slip, and that
it maintains an unsavory reputation, which
is shared by Cherry street and the New-
Bowery, contiguous localities. It is a
region unfrequented by elegant people, and
reputable persons do not care to traverse it
except in broad daylight. To the house
No. 58 James street, kept by Miss Mary
Varley, the attention of the Police had been
directed by sundry suspicious circumstances
It ia likely that the fact that the lady m
question is a Sister of the late William Var-
ley, better known as Reddy the Black-
smith, may have had something to do with
creating an ill repute for her house. At
any rate, a descent was made upon the es-
tablishment, and goods manifestly stolen,
and valued at several thousand dollars, were
found concealed. Miss Vakley and her
friends managed 1 o get away by an avenue
in the rear.
This den of thieves was contrived like
those described in some of the novels of
Suii and AiNSWORTH. It was like a robber's
castle on the Rhine, built for defense, but
with ample means of escape in case of an
enforced surrender. Unless a large force
should surround the block, as an army
might invest a besieged city, the inmates
could hasten away by a series of ingenious-
ly-arranged ladders while the enemy was
breaking down the barotcan, otherwise
street door. When the Police were once in-
side of the deserted fortress, they began a
search, which resulted in the discovery
above mentioned. Miss Varley and her
friends had shown much ingenuity in con-
cealing their booty. Secret closets, like
those we read of in yellow-covered novels,
were constructed in the walls, and sliding
panels masked the openings of mysterious
hidinir-Dlacos. Over one of these a picture
— ^nndonbtedly a ohxomo — ^had been hung,
and a lamp-bracket or sbonce farther as-
sisted in giving an appearance of solid wall
to what was really a secret closet door.
I The character of tho goods recovered in-
dicates the existence of an organized and
considerable business. There were axes
and other hardware, a pearl-monated opera-
glass, kegs of white lead ground in oil, a
Paisley shawl, smoking tobacco, an ivory
fan, silk and cashmere dress-patterns, boots
and shoes, balls of blueing, velvet ribbons,
hosiery, hoop-skirts, and a long inventory
of articles too numerona to mention. The
heterogeneousnessof this assortment, and tbe
smallness of some of the lots suggest petty
thieving and shoplifting. It looks as if
Miss Mary Vablby and her associates had
been in the habit of " shopping," for the sake
of pilfering goodis froin shop-counters. Pos-
sibly some of the larger lots of goods were
the friiits of some small burglary which has
not made noise enough in the newspapers
to be remembered now. Who was the
Fagin of this den, and who the Artful
Dodger, only the Police can guess ; and the
Police have a distgreeable habit of keeping
information and euspicions to theijitselves.
It is certain that one of the attractions of
the crimes of thieves is a certain mystery
with which they are invested, Nothing is
more pernicious in the whole range of ju-
venile literature than that variety which
gives boldness and dash to the bandit, and
secrecy and baffling gloom to his manner
of life. An air of romance is thrown over
a very vulgar and commonplace offense.
Several lads were lately arrested in a
neighboring State, charged with a series of
thefts and burglaries, committed for no
other apparent purpose than the con-
cealment and furtive enjoyment of things
which they were perfectly well able to
procure hoaestly. An amateur thief on
Long Island concealed his plunder in a
curious den under a school-honse where he
hid by day, in secret terror of detection,
and unable to enjoy the proceeds of his rob-
beries. The James street thieves must have
earned, at best, a precarious subsistence,
and have lived in constant peril of arrest,
and they are now hunted ftigitives. What
is the fatal fascination which keeps so
many people dishonest when a little
of their patieijt ingenuity would pro-
cure them an honest living f It
seems a strange thing that in the
midst of an industrious and law-abiding
community an organization of petty ban-
dits should exist. But that such an associ-
ation has existed, and that its thefts have
been so numerous and light that none of
the plundered have made aU'Outcry, is bow
clear. Miss Mary Varley and her accom-
plices are probably hiding until this affaii
blows over. None of the owners of the
stolen goods have reclaimed their property,
and it is not likely that the resi:ij.t of this
discovery will seriously alarm other similar
gangs of thieves.
the influence of pie, and, making the aigbi
hideous with their outcries. Physiciaiii
can testify to the appalling resnltn of the
pie orgies in which chUdron are thtis openly
encouraged to take part. The amount of
dru^ which is consumed by tbe unhappy
little victims on the day following Thanks-
giving Day woald fill the public with hor-
ror were the exact figures to be pabliahed.
How can we wonder that children who an
thus tempted to acquire tbe taste for pie by
their own parents grow up to be shamelen
and habitual consumers ot piet The good
matron who sees a haggard and emaciated
man slink into a pnblic pie shop, and pre»-
ently emerge brushing the tell-tale emmbfl
firom his beard, shudders to think that the
unhappy wretch was once as yoang and in-
nocent as her own darling children. And
yet that very matron will probably sit to-
day at the foot of a table groaning' with
pie, and will deal out the deadlj; compound
to her children without a thought that she
is awakening in them a depraved hanger
that will ultimately lead them straight to
the pie shop. -v-
All the efforts of goo^xaaa and 'women t«
stay the torrent of pie which threateiu t(
ingulf our beloved country will be in vain,
unless the reform is began at the Thanks-
giving dinner table. Pie must be banished
from that otherwise innocent board, or it i
in vain that we t3*y to banish it from shops,
restaurants, and hotels. It is now too late
to hope that the present Thinksgiviag Day
will differ in this respect from its predeces-
sors, but may we not look forward to a'
great popular movement next year, which
will sweep pie firom every virtaons table, and
unite all the finends of morality in a vigor-
ous and consistent crusade a^jingt the greal
evil of the land. ' *■
lEANKSSiriNQ PIE.
Thanksgiving Day is the one national
festival which is peculiarly and thoroughly
American. Other nations undergo annual
sufferings from noise and gunpowder which
are analagous to those which are associated
in our minds with Fourtb of July. Christ-
mas is the common property of the Christian
world, although Russia celebratea her
Christmas some weeks later than other
nations, in order that Russians residing in
foreign countries may obtaina double supply
of Christmas presents. Thanksgiving Day,
however, was the invention of the New-
England colonists, and though it has since
been universally adopted by the American,,:
people, no other nation has imitated it. We
alone express our annual gratitude by the
sacrifice of torkeys, and it is, hence, greatly
to be desired that the one exclusively
American festival should be in all respects
perfect and beyond reproach.
It is impossible to deny that in aotire
practice our method of celebrating the day
is open to one serious objection. In spite
of the progress which we have made to-
ward a higher morality than that of the
last century, we still adhere, on Thanks-
giving Day, to one barbarous and demoral-
izing ceremony. To a great extent th% hot
New-England rum of our Tor j fathers is ban-
ished from our dinner tables, but the no less
deadly and demoralizing pie forms part of
every Thanksgiving dinner, no matter
how moral and intelligent its consumers
may believe themselves to be.
The Thanksgiving array of pie is usually
of 80 varied, as well as lavish a nature, that
it seems cunningly devised to entrap even
the most innocent palate. If mince-pie
alone were set before a virtuous family, it is
quite probable that many of its members
would have the courage to turn in loathing
from the deadly compound, but the Thanks-
giving mince-pie is always accompanied or
preceded by lighter pies, in which weak-
minded persons think they can indulge
without injury. The thoughtless matron —
for thoughtlessness, and not deliberate vrick-
edness, is indicated by the presence of
Thanksgiving pie— ur^es her guests to take
a little chicken-pie, assuring them that it
cannot injure a child, and thus it cannot be
politely declined. The guest who tamper.s
with the chicken-pio is iuevitalby lost. The
chicken-pie crust aw ikens an unholy hun-
ger for fiercer viands, and when the meats
are removed, he is ready and anxious for un-
diluted apple or pumpkin pie. From that
to mince-pie the transition is swift and
easy, and in nine cases out of ten the man
who attends a Thanksjjiving dinner
and is lured into touching ohickeu-pie
abandons all self-restraint and delivers him-
self up to the thraldom of a fierce longing
for strong aud undisguised mince-pie.
Hundreds ot men and women who had
emancipated themselves by a tremendous
effort of the will from the dominion of pie,
have backslidden at the Thanksgiving din-
ner, and have returned to their former
degradation with a fiercer appetite than
ever, and with little hope that they can find
sufficient strength for a second effort to-
ward reformation.
The chief evil of the Thanksgiving dis-
play of pie 19, however, its terrible influ-
ence upon the young. It is a well-known
fact, however revolting it may seem when
rehearsed in cold blood, that on Thanksgiv-
ing Day many a foolish mother has herself
pressed pie to the lips of her innocent oft-
spring. To the taste thus created thou-
sands of victims of the pie habit ascribe
their ruin. It is a common spectacle on
Thanksgiving evening to see scores of chil-
dren, mere babes in yeara. ,writhin« undar.

' From Our SpeeicU OorreavotUknt.
Svw-OntJiAiis, Saturday, Nov. 23, 1876.
Thiere are 84,167 white voters and 104,193
black voters in tbe State of Looiaiana, and in
tbe other dotton States of Soatli Carolina, Flor-
ida, Alabama, and Mississippi the white and
colored citizens are divided in about tbe same
proportion. Of the white citizens ninety-
five out ol every hundred vote tbe
J>emocralio ticket, and out of . every
hundred of the black citizens ninety-Dine
would vote the Republican ticket if they were
Dermitted to freely exercise the rights which
were miaranteed to them by the reconstruction
acts and the amendments to the National Con-
stitution. But the black citizens are not per-
mitted to freely exercise those riehts. By in-
timidatioa, by vialenoe, by outrage, by murder,
by the most inhuman cruelties, by proscription,
and by glaring frauds the Democrats prevent
them from voting as they desire to vote ; and
it is because they have been so prevented that
Florida, South GaroUna, and Louisiana did not
give the Bepublican candidates for President
»nd Vice President an unquestioned majority
■ .. raneing trCm four to thirty thousand votes.
Aidde from the Presidential question, however,
the political situation in this part of the Union
presents many features which must be consid-
ered at this time, many problems which must
, ^ow be definitely settled, if the peace.and pros-
perity of the nation is to continue.
The foremost question and the one whioh:
most presainsly demands an answer is, shall
the two, political parties in the South be al-
lowed' to exist upon the same terms and eon-
iitions that they exist in other parts of the
jountry, in other words, and lo be more explicit,
shall the right of every citizen, of every voter,
to participate in the National and State Gov-
eramests on election dav, to assist and actively
co-operate with the societies, clubs, and other or-
l^anixations of his political party, foe reeo|niuscd
and guaranteed absolutely, so that whether
a man be^ white Democrat or a black fiepub-
iioan he shall be allowed, in perfect security and
with perteot freedom, to join and act with such
political associations as his own interests, pre-
Indlces, or wishes may dictate ? If this ques-
tion receives an afiirmative answer &em tb(>.
Kople of the United States; if the lawd, as they
)xist. are properly executed and enforcfed ; if
the blaek men are protected ; if the pelitieal
murderers and cut-throats of the South are
jHUiisbed swiftly, surely, and at no matter
what cost, then the country has beard the last
of "a solid South," with all the dangers which
the terai impUea; but if, on tbe other hand, the
prment condition of affairs is allowed to con-
tinue; if what some one has aptly called '' the
banditti vote" of Mississippi and Louisi-
ana be allowed to control those States;
if political massacres ^o unpunished; if the
law-abidla£ masses «f the country will
■tand quietly by and allow men, women, and
ehildren to be shot or starved to death for
opini(Hi's sake, then until another war trees it
4 from the yoke the nation may expect to be
.• • goveised more absolutely and completely by
'■» • the "solid white South" tban Louisiana was
in tbe palmy days of tbe slave empire. And
jnst here there is one tact which must not bo
lost sight of. The Southern States have 13S
votes in the Electoral College. W^are it not
for negro suffirage, those samie States would
have only about ninety votes m the Electoral
\ Ceilexe. Louisiana has eight JE]leotoral votes,*
bat if the law did not allow the black men to
vote, if the negroes were legally disfranchised,
the State would have only four votes in the
College. As it is, the black citizens who srive
the State this increased influence in tbe nation
are illegally and by violence kept awav from
the polls, imd virtually every white roan,
every Democrat, casts two votes. So in
nieariy all the cotton States, the white
Democrats have double represeatation m
the Electoral CoUege, and^ twice as much
voice in the election of a President as
have the citizens of New- York or California.
Uonld this state of things be allowed to exist i
Kegarding the means' which the Democrats
«roploT to influence and intimidate the negroes.
it is not necessary to speak at this time. All
their terrible practices have been already fully
detailed, and yet there is reason to believe^^that
the people of the North have nevec quite real-
ized the dangers of the Southern situation. In
the words of Judge Hu<h J. Campbell, one of
the shrewdest political observers in this State,
to fully understand what Southern Bepublicans
have to endure, to understand why there is not
•jne Republican vote cast in eounties where
there are two thousand Republican voters, the
citizen of Ntiw-Tork or New-England
moat imagine for a moment that " the Missia-
Mppi plan " of carrying elections prevailed at
the North. To carry out the Judge's idea,
suppose, tor instance, tbat Tom McEwen or
Sam Hammend, the leading Democrats of
GJeneva, N. r., were taken out ef their beds
some twelve men ::h3 before the last election
ind hanged in the public square ot the town.
And suppose that Bob McLean, another l<aad-
• iiuj Democrat, while on a visit to Albamy bad
been kidnapped by a mob of Republican ruffians
and had been bound hand and foot, tied
to ahorse and driveu out into the woods ; then
iuppose that he was met by a dozen masked
men who cut him loose Irom tbe horse, tied
* him to a tree, and fchot him to death with a
bondred bullets. And after all . this, suppose
• that the Republicans of Geneva and all the
intronnding country had organized themselves
into secret political societies, eotnaiandHd by
military officers, and armed with rifles and
aavy revolvers. Suppose, then, that these so-
cieties had driven «verv Demoortrtio official
out of the coanty ; suppose that these Re-
^ publican riflu clnb.-<, or "bull-dozers," had
ridden in armed bands tlirough all the
conntrv about CI ^aev<*, niglitly, tor three menths
before the elfcction. gupposs that during these
rides thev hai shot tvventy or thirty Demo-
crats, whipped a couple of hundred, and
wai-ned the rest that cbey would surely be
killed if tbey voted the Democratic ticket.
Suppose thesu men had broken up every Demo-
sratie club in the district. Supnose they had
t>umed the houses of a dozen Democrats. Sup-
po-ie at the same time that taese Republican
3Ut-throats owned all the property, the stores,
the bouses, the benka, the railroads, the tele-
j^aph, the newspftpers, the schools, the every-
tfamg ; and, suppose that all the Drmocrats
except those who had been killed
or driven away, were ignorant and poor, so
poor, indeed, that they depended for every
mouthful of bread upon the Republican " bull-
dozers"— let the citizen of New-York suppose
all these things, and then let him ask himself
the question, "Alter such a campaign, how
many votes would the Democratic ticket re-
ceive in Geneva V This picture is not over-
drawn. It i« in the manner desotribBd tbAt tha.

The following important statement, sworn

interest. The plan was part and parcel of the
general scheme of fraud through which Mr.
Tilden hoped to steal his way into the White
House. The statement is furnished by Col.

STATKMENT OF MR. I. WAlTZFELDER, CLERK
OF DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE.
State of JS^eic-York, City and County of New-
York, St.: L Waitzfofder being dnl.y sworn, deposes
and says : At about the time Hayes was selling
dhead in the pools in this City, I should think about
three or four weefcs before the election, the Secre-
tary of the Democratic State Committee, W. W.
Gordon, had been going up to the ptool-rooms regn-
larlyforthe purpose of buUmg Tilden in the bet-
ting market. This continued under my observa-
tion. The way the thing was done was as follows:
Mr. Gordon and two ot his committee clerks (Mr.
Cbggessball, Mr. Robluson, or myself) would go to
the Morrissey Pool-room, and one of the clerks
wbald there buy Hayes tickets and Mr. Gordon
wonld buy Tilden tickets; for example, as follows:
Clerk number one would bid |50 for Hayes, clerk
number* two would then bid |55 for Tilden, Mr. Gor-
don wouJd then bid $56, ond the clerk number two
would bidf again, taking the odd number and
Mr. Gordon tbe even, until Mr. Gordon had bid
f60, the maximtf m agreed upon ; then clerk number
two ceased bida.'pg. ana the ticket would he
knocked down to Mr." Gordon, makine an aoparent
bet of $60 on Tilden agaanst $50 on Hayes, or $120 to
$100 in favor of Tilden's election.
In this way Tilden became the favbrite in the
betting, whioh bets were wired all over the United
States, it being an acknowledged important part of
the Democratic campaign to capture the flaating
vote by false quotations in the betting market.
These manufactured quotations were sent by Mr.
Morrissey every nizht to Mr. King, clerk of the
National Democratic Committee, and by him were
at once telegraphed through the United States to
the Democratic newspapers.
I have been sent myself by the National Demo-
cratic CommitteB to get these quotations, which I
got trom Mr. John Morrissey and gave them: to
Mr. Kins, and they were promptly telegraphed all
over the country. L WAITZPELDEE,

MORRISON'S CANDIDACY.
Special Dispatch to the New-York Times.
' Washington, Nov. 29. — Messrs. Eandall.
Morrison, Sayler, and Cox, the competing can-
didates for the Speakership, are now here, and
the contest has been fairly inaugurated. Very
few of the Democratic members have yet ar-
rived, but from the movements of those present
it looks as if the choice ot the caucus to be
held on Saturday night next will fall
npoB Randall. Morrison and Randall
cAme in company from New- York to-
day, where they have been for two or
three days consulting with Gov. Tilden
in referSnce to the Speakership. The best of
feeling exiats between these two gentlemen,
and they are evidently aating in concert and
following out a prograiiimo agreed upon. Mor-
rison is strong with the Western meiubera, and
his candldatute ia regarded as a move-
ment to concentraie the vot.e of that seetion
and turn it over tv Randall. Sayler seems
to have no chance for a renomination,
and it is . doubtful it his own State
delegation will present a united aupport'lor
him. Cox has some strength among Southern
members, led by Blackburn, but will come no
nearer to obtaining the caucus nomination than
he did one year ago. Indeed his withdrawal
from the canvass is mentioned. Cox has not
forgotten how Sayler stepped up into his place
last year, when John Kaliy ordered him to va-
cate the Speaker's chair, to which he had been
temporarily elected, and go to St. Louis
to assist in the movement against the nomina-
tion of Tilden lor the Presidency, and will turn
in to defeat Sayler when convmced tbat he has
n(> chance of success himself. The indications
))()w plainly point to a combination between
Bandall and Morrison in favor of the former,
and the general impression is chat Baud all has
the indorsement ol G(jv. Tilden. Mornsou ia
probably held m reserve as a second choice,
and if Bandall is uuable to combme the vote
worked up between them, Morrison would de-
velope into an immodiata and aggressive can-
didate.
HOW Sr. LOUIS PEOPLE 70TE.
St. Louis. Nov. 29. — The Commissioners ap-
pointed by theCircnlc Coart to receive the vote cast
on the 22d of August last, at an election for 8ud
against what was known as thn " Scheme and
Charter " — tli!»t in, a scheme to separate the city
from the county, and a now charter fjr the cify—
have nnearthed numor.>a3 irregularities and very
gross blandora by th« Judges of the election, and
tranda of a most startling character. There geems
to be DO doubt that the "Scheme and Charter "
propo«ition was carried by a large niaiority of le-
gally-cast votes, but tue Irauda perpetrated iu the
interest of the oppoBition defeated it. As an in-
stance of tbe fraudb committed, William Kelly aiid
"William Roper, jadgea of Election at the central
precinc of the Ninlh Ward, have matte deposit ions
to tbe effect tliat tbey took ballots lor thn Sciieino

JyATIONS OF THE THKEE KMPERQB8 —
&US8IAN VIEWS OF THE TUiRKIBH , CON-
8TITDTION— THE BERLIN MEMORANDUM
^ SriLL ADHERED TO BT RUSSIA.
LoKDOK, Nov*22»:^A telegram to Keider from
St. Petersburg anno'lnces that the following semi-
offlcial statement is published in that city: '' Tbe
Marquis of Salisbury's ioouversatioas with Count
Andrassy and Prince BiamarcK will probably have
convinced him that th^ intimate relations between
the three imperial Courts remain unchanged, and
tbat Bnsjia has been hitherto restrained from tak-
inir extreme measures by the consideration which
is dae the Emperors of Germany and Austria.
Russia will not put forward the ooonpation of
Bulgaria aa her principal demand at the conference,
but her representative will positively declare that
the projected Turkish Constitution cannot be dis-
cussed, that antonomy for the Provipces must be
guaranteed, and that ooenpation appears to be the
best means of rendering such guarantee efficacious.
Should the other powers be wijung to participate*
in occupation, -Bussia would even now prefer
such a solution ; but if not, Kussia, In
drder to attain the objects sanctioned
by the Berlin memorandum, will undertake
occupation single-handed. The foregoing forms
the general basis of the Enssian demands. If Tur-
key, as is represented, should reisot every proposal
of autonomy, the Porte wotdd merely attend the
conference to protest against every point offered
ior discu.saion." The statement concludes by affirm-
ing tbat Bnssia is determined to maintain her posi-
tion against all protests or evasions that the Purte
may ofl'er.
A dispatch in Paris to the Rassian Telegraphio
Agency states that Russia has never proposed the
occupation of Buicrana as tne sola possible guaran-
tee, but only as- one cf the best guarantees for the
execution of refjrms. If any other really effective
guarantee is proposed, she will gladly accept it.
The Marquis of Salisbury has arrived at Rome,
and bad a conference with Signor Melegari, the
Italian Miniiter of Foreign Affairs.
A special dispatch from Vienna to the Standard
says the Porte, in answei to the representations of
Ronmania, has declared it would scrapnlously re-
frain from infringing Roumanian neutrality.
A dispatch to Renter's Telegram' Company from
Constantinople says a ministerial crisis has arisen
in consequence of the Grand Vizier having refused
assent to the Constitution proposed by Midbat
Pasba^ and appealed to the Sultan to support his
refusal. . \
LoNUON, Nov. 30 The Times correspondent
writes from Constantinople, Nov. 24:
",Oue cannot' imagine why a Conference should
have been called. When Turks of the Midhat Pasha
school and the Russians have taken such definite
and exactly opposite positions, it seems diffioult for
England or the other powers either to bring about
an agreement or avoid beinc involved in a quarrel."
The Daily News' dispatch from Vienna reports
it is declared in diplomatic circles that at the
opening of the Conference the Porte will move tor
a prolongation of tbe armistice.
The limei' Berlin correspondent says the new
Turkish Constitution is to be proclaimed on thr
opening of the Conference.
A leader in the Times, conmenting on the new
Constitntion and the alleged ministerial crisis in
connection therewith, says the patriotic efforts ot
Midhat Pasha arc defeated by the Grand Vizieii, who
refuses to assent to limitation of the Saltan's power.
The Grand "Vizier and the Pit'shas about him
must not be deceived. Tbe qnestion they have
to consider is not whether the concession of guaran-
tees for orderly eovernment in the provinces is
compatible with the nature of the Sultan's powers,
but whether the f efaaal of the guarantees is com-
patible with the, prolongation of any of his aathor-
MTLITABT ASPECT IN THE EAST.
RELATIVE STRENGTH OF RUSSIA AND TUR-
KEY IN THE EVENT OP WAR — THE WAR-
LIKE TENSION IN RUSSIA RELAXED.
LoxDON, Xov. 29. — The Berlin correspondent
of tbe limes, in a dispatch to that paper, after an
elaborate estimate of the force Russia is capable of
brincine into the field, concludes as tollows: " Rus-
sia may defeat Turkey, but has no chance of crush-
ing her by overwhelming strength. After allowing
tor the force which will be necessary to defend tbe
Black Sta coast, and for the fict that
the Turks have sufficient force to
hold Servia and Ronmania in check, and
that any assistance Greece miabt offer could be neu-
tralized by the Turkish fleet, it appears the bruLt
of a war in Europe must be borne bv 50,000 Russians,
tq confront whom the Turks have at least an equal
force, protected by the river Danube, the Balkan
Mountains, and fortresses. ' Turkey has appointed
Gen. Kolman, a German, commander of tbe fort-
ress of Ears. Proclamationa to the Mussulman pop-
ulations of Russia are drawn up, and Sof cas have
been aDpointed to dissemiaate them in case pf need.
Paris Nor. i!9. — The Russian Telegraph Agency
also says the Russian paiiers record a general im-
pression of diuiinishiug tension. The departure of
•tbo Grand Duke Nicholas for Head-quarters cf the
Army of ^ourhoru Russia has again been postponed
till Friday nexr,
London, Nov. 30. — The Vienn;! correspondent of
the limes says it is reported that the forces of the
three remaining military districts of European
Russia will be mobilized in December. Four
of the six array corps already mobil-
ized are concentrated in a semi-circle from
the Pruth to Ahorman, ready f>r a march to the
front. It ia worihy of record that there has been a
revulsion of feeling in Russia in favor of a more
pacific policy.
The Times' dispatch from Berlin says that live in-
stead of three additional military districts in Russia
are to be mobilizsd, and adds 120,000 men to the
previous estimates of the Russian forces ready for
war.
According to the semi-official Po?<ttcaZ Correspond-

TUE RKCENT MYSTERIOUS MOVKMEXT EX-

AMffiKICA-N WAT!.R3 FOR SECUItlTY.
London, Nov. 29. — An unauthenicated rumor
recently appeared in some of the Goutiupntal news-
papers that the Russian Mediienanean i^qaadron
had been ordered to America. The St. Peiersburtr
coirespondent of the Times, in a letter to that
journal under date of Nov. 22, says : " On Mond.ay,
Nov. 90, Mr. Boker, the American iliaisterto
Russia, was suddenly informed that the Czar de-
sired to see hlin at Tzarsko-Selo. As it is
unusual for diplomatists below the rank of
Ambassador to be admitted to such audiences,
every imaginable rumor was circulated as to what
passed between the Czar and the American Minis-
ter. Although the truth has not officially tran-
spired, I believe the Czar's object was simply to
beg Mr. Boker to communicate to President Grant
the fact of the departure of the Russian Mediterra-
nean Squadron for America. Tiiere is no doubt
that the squadron has sail'^d.and although the posi-
tion of a Commander of a naval force ordered to seek
refuge in foreign ports on' the eve of wai cannot be
enviable, it is difficult to see what else Russia could
do, as even the Tarki.h Navy alone would be
sufficient to dispose cf any ships which Russia could
bring into action.

THE BENDhB FAMILY^
A NEW THEORY IN EXPLANATION OP THE
SUDDEN DISAPPICABANCE OF THB MUR-
DEROUS F*MILY.
Correiipondenca of the Chicago Tribune.
Lawkbnce, Kan., Nov. liT.
One of the blackest of all crimes is known
as the Bender tragedy of Kansas. The Bender fam-
ily was resldsnt in Montgomery County, Kan.; the
famdy consisted of "Old Man'' Bender, his wife,
bis daughter Kate, and his son, a young man who
is to some considerable extent acquitted in the pub-
lic mind of much that is charged without distinc-
tion to his father, mother, and sister. Tbe crime of
tbe crowd consisted of murdering, from mercenary
motives, and burying upon their wayside premises,
not fewer than nitie persons, all ot them travelers,
and some of them citizens of at least local promi-
nence. Though a number of "sadden disappear-
ances" had occurred In Montgomery County, sus-
picion had not settled on tbe Benders uniil after
one Dr. York, brother of A. M. York, tbe exposer
ot ex-Senator Pomeroy. had sudaenly "come up
misaing," and when ttusploion had finally fallen
upon tue family every member of tbe same simul-
taneously disappeared. Since their disappearance
, no trace of them has ever been foimd, notwith-
standing the most oilisenc search and the most in-
tricate plaus and pioctmgs of detective bureaus
the country over. All this until within a few days
has been accepted as the essential substance of
what could be. discovered or t-xplained relative to
the proeeduf e. Very lately, ho»vever, au nnexpect-
ed Solution oi the matter has beeu offered, though
as yet It must not be accepted as conclusive. The
story is this : A gentleman residing in 'Xbpeka has
traveled much in tbe far Western States, and was
about one year ato a passenuer ou board the steam-
er plying Detwecu San Francisco and Portland.
Coiiceruing this voyaue, in a letter to the Topeka
Commonwealth, he says :
I met a man on the steamer, apparently about
fifty years of age. of flue appearance, gf^ntiumanly
deportment, aud intelligent addross. Upon enter-
ing into a cunvei'sation with him, he informed me
that he was from Montgomery County, Kau.,
where he had lived for saveral years, aiid was now
on his way with his faaaily to Washington Terri-
toiy, which he expected to make his permanent
borne. During the conversation, knowing that he
was from the vicinity of tbe Bender murders, I fx-
pres.sed my astonisumont tnat these people, ig-
norant of and unlamiliar with the geography of
tnis cjuntxy as they must have been, ha i been so
successful ■in making their escape from ths officers
of the Uw, especially as a large reward had oeen
offered lor their apprehension. In a half conhdon-
tial tone, and in a manner which lent credence
to bis statement and impressea me with a be-
lief of his honesty, he said that so far as
be was concerned there was no mystery
about it. "I am well acquaimed, "
said he, " with the whole history of tue matter,
I know ex-Sooator A. M. York very well, and also
know bis brothel'. Dr. York, whofee murder led to
the developments which have been made in con-
nection with th'5 Bender family. Soiuetime before
the murd«r of Dr. York, a vigilance committee
was orgauizfld in the neighborhood of Ctienyvale
for iho protection of tbe people against uorae-
thieves. Prior to this no well-defloied suspicion
had rested upon the Bender family. Tbe sudden
and unaocouulaule disappeiu-ance of Dr. York,
however, who Avas well kuowu and higbly respt'Cted
throughout that couutry, caused a great comuio-
tim among the jieople. 6earch was iuslituted, led
priiici pally by this vigilance committee and Sen-
ator York. Upon coofariiag togetber several other
iiiStaiices In which persons had mysteriously ois-
aapeared, and had never been heara of, came to
light. A comparison of notes iu tbese cases pointed
iu" one uireciion, aud fixed suspicion upon tlie
Benders. It is my opiuiun that a detachment of
this Tiiiilauce commiitee, a few niijhts before the
discovery was made that the Benners bad disap-
peared, went to their house, placed them iu their
own wagon, drawn uy their own horses, and cou
voyed. them to a secluded syot nut far off, on the
edjie of a largo ponu, aud there extorted a lull cou-
lessiou i'rooi them of all their crimes down to the
suialleat details. After this "the Benders were
never heard of, and it is more tban probable that
their bodies were carefdlly concealed. It will be
remembered, if I am rfgbt in my theory, that a few-
days after this a wagon was discovered near this
point, to wnich a pair (f bLTses was tied, which
■was known to be Bonder's propenv. This was
soon followed by the announcement that the
hame of the Benders had beeu dis-
sotved, and some slock which nad
not beon turned loo-se, was in a starving condition.
Au investigation of tue preuiiaes was then made,
beaded by Senator York, who, upon entering the
house, walked straight into tbe room where tue old
clock stoon, and opening the case put lils hand ioto
the place where the key is u'«usually kept and
diew forth a pair of gold-bowed spectaclBs, and
holdinir them up to the crowd said, 'These are my
brotber'a spuctacles ; I could swear to them I' Tho
trap-dour under the bed, concealed by the carpet,
was next, as some peifple imagine, Bocidentally dis-
covered, and tho evideuces uf murder found in the
Gellar. After this, upon leaving the house, Souator
York walked, directly to a spot where ;he earth was
slightly shake.T. and said : 'Here is a grave; here
my brother is buried.' This proved to be true. Tbe
, unhesitating couuuct of Senator Yi,rk iu placing
his band npou his brother's spectacles and iu going
to the exact spot where his brother's remains had
been buried, proves oonciuaively that he had been
iniormed beforehand and knew exactly wnere to
look to muke the discoveiies that he did. This con-
viction 18 also strengthened by a ereat many other
incidents that took place about this time. 1 am sa -
isfled also that Gov. Osborn was secretly apprised
ot all these facts, which will account for tlie fact
that, on the part ot the Kansas authorities, no sys-
tematic effort has ever been made toa pureliend the
Benders, and stories of their capture elsewhere
have only excited au incredulous smili at tbe State
capital. Wbemer I am right or wrong," con-
cluded my iufoimant, "you must admit that my
theory is a plausible one; " aun.'with a signiticaiit
smile, he sa;d, "L know that I am liijht."

MUSICAL A2sD DRAMATIC.
THOMAH* SYMPHONY CONCERTS.
The public rehearsal preparatory to Mr.
Thomas' second symphony concert took place at
Steinway Hall, yesterday afternoon, In presence of
an immense audience. The procramme included
Schumann's Opus 53, Beethoven's Fourth Sym-
phony, and the two scenes which constitute the
prologue to Wagner's "Goetterdaemmernng." The
•ovelty of the last-mentioned music commends it to
particular attention. As represented at Bayrenth.
the first scene was sung by the three nornes or
fates, who, like the ParccB of old, .weave the strand
typical of the destiny of mankind, and, in this case,
of that of the god-. Mr. Thomas renders it as
originally written, by means t.f his orchestra, and
thus it serves, as its present title indicates, as a
vorspiel. The second scene consists of a duet,
full of passionate and stirring outbursts, carried
on by Siegfried and Brunnhilde. As an opportu-
nity of bearing the work and its performance Is to
be afforded once more on Saturday evening, we
shall defer allusion to both subjects until then.
Mme, Kndersdoiff, whose culture as an artist and
strong dramatic impulses made ber engagement a
iudicious one, was Brunnhilde, yesterday, and Mr.
Bisohoff embodied Siegfried.
MME. KSSIPOFF'S CONCERTS. ,
A programme exclnsively representative of
Beethoven was interpreted by Mme. Esnroff and
M. Vivien, wi h the vocal aid of Miss Lillian B.
Norton, at Steinway Hall, last evenine. The per-
formance by the two artists of the " Alexander "
sonata, was rather wanting in expression and clear-
ness of tone, but the two sonatas — the "Moonlight "
sndtbeDrainor — allotted to Mme. Easipoff, left noth-
ing to be wished lor. The grave sweetness of the
first movement of the C sharp minor was admirably
interpreted, and the farciful allegro which followed
was played with delightfcd imaginativeness and
brilliancy of style ; the presto was taken
at a tremendt/us pace, bat might have
been occasionally a trifla clearer. The fine
allegro of the D minor was superbly rendered, the
nice gradations of tone being particularly noticea-
bl?. M. Vivien executed BeethoVen's Komance in
G, and Miss Norton, whose rich and poweiful voice
ought to be promptly sub.iected to ssvere dicipline
if the lady would achieve what she should aim at,
contributed the same composer's "La Vita Felice"
and his ''Mignon" song.
GENERAL MENTION.
Special matinee performances occur at all
the City theatres to-day.
i Mr. George Rignold arrived in town yester
day, from Australia, via San Francisco. He departs
for Encland on Satnrday.
Miss Neilson was to have appeared last even-
ing as Viola, in '"Twelfth Nieht," at Miles' Opera-
honse, Cincinnati, for the first time in this country.
A carefully-selected dramatic troupe, to be
called the B.mcicault Comedy Company, has been
organized under the supervision ot Mr. Boncicault,
to act •' Forbidden Fruit" throughout the countr.y.
It IS rumored m theatrical circles that the
Eagle Theatre wiil, next Fall, be placed under the
management of Mr. Gardner, of the Arch Street
Theatre, in Philadelphia, and that Mr. Sothern will
be the first of a series of "star performers" tnen to
appear there.
Mr. Morrissey gave tbe second of his " comblna-
tton concerts," at the Academy of Music, last even-
insr. The audience was numerous and theapplause
liberal Mr. Thomas' orchestra took part in the
performance, Mr. S. B. Mills played, Mme. Gnla-
ger sauK the polonaise from " Mignon," which Is
one of her most effective pieces, and contributions
to the programme were further made by Misa
Thursby. Signor Brignoli, and Mme. Carreno-Sau-
ret. Tbe third and last concert of tbe series occurs
to-morrow evening.
Miss Kellogg is now in the second week of
her sojourn at McVicker's Theatre, in Chicago.
The plan of giving four nights of English opera
weekly, after the Italian fashion, appears to have
succeeded admirabl.y, and Miss Kellogg being thus
enabled to take part in all tbe performances, a
crowded auditorium is the rule. A dispatch, last
evening, acquaints us with the successful produc-
tion, for tbe first time in America, of an Euglish
version of Wagner's "Fliegende Hollaader." Many
hundred intending spectators failed to obtain ad-
mission into tbe house.
Mr. and Mrs. Carl Feininger gave the first
of a series of concerts at Cbickering Hall, last even-
ing. Joachim Raff's second grand sonata was inter-
preted by Mr. and Mrs. Feininger; Mr. Feininger
played admirabl.y an air b.y Bach, as arranged for
performance on the G string of the violin bv Wil-
helmj, and, with considerable technique but little
breadth, the rondo of Mendelssohn's concerto, and
other compositions filled out the programme. It is
to be regrotted that a concert of so much real in-
terest should have occurred on an evening when
attention was necessarilv directed elsewhere.
FOREIGN NOTES.
The Saturday Review says of Mr. Coghlan's
play of "Brothers:" "The desire to be original
and to avoid borrowing from a Freneh^source is nj)
doubt praiseworthy but it has led Mr. Coeblan, the
author of 'Brothers,' now being played at the
Court, astray. He is also tho author of a 'Quiet
Rubber,' the afterpiece at tha saraa theatre, wh^oh,
with no cl.iim to originality, is. as things go, a de-
•idedly good play. It would saem that Mr. Cogh-
lan would have done better for the present to have
confined himaelf to adapting the works of more
experienced playwrights than him aelf. As a gene-
ral rule, the mistakes found in tbe works
of writers comparatively new to the stage
are due to ignorance of stage effact. Mr.
Coffhlan, himself an actor of consider-
able power, has Jiaturallv avoided this blunder,
but has fallen into one of an opposite and not less
serious nature, la 'Brother.^ ' there is no sncb
thing as character. Every notion of this, or ot con
sis ency in construction, is sacrificed to the im-
agined requirement of a telling exit or a striking
situation. The various people with whose fortunes
the play is concerned become tbe mere puppets of
momentary circumstances, which arise from a
supposHil stage necessity rather than" from any
natunl devBlupment of character. The play re-
sembles many others in contaioiug a vilLiin ; but
it differs from all others by tha fiCt tbat this disa-
greeable part is not allotted to any particular Indi-
vidual, Out is undertaken by every one of tbe char-
acters iu turn."
That the admission of dogs " behind the
scenes" in theatres may sometimes be attended by
unfortunate consequences, is well illustrated, eays
the London hicho, by an amusing scene which took
place the other day in the Vienna Stadt Theatre.
Some of the actors possess dogs which are in con-
stant attendance oa them. The animals are
gctieraily put together in the wardrobe while
their masters are actine on tbe stage. In
the intervals between the acts the.v are
released ' for a little. " On the occasion in
question, "Le*r" being the pla.y which was
being performed, a laree dog belonging to Herr
Bukovica, managed somehow to escape from the
wardrobe. This occurred just at the exciting
scene where Edmund lies mortally wounded on the
ground. "Mops" seemed quite to enloy his liber-
ty, trotted about iheroom with evident glee, a»d
then rushed precipitately down the flight of steps
to the stage. The manager perceived the mishap
thatwab threatening, aud tried to call i he dog
back by every moans be could think (f, out it
wa» DO nap. The curious animal roamed at will
over the stage. The spectators, who bad seen the
dog come in, were at first quiet, but soon a lively
titter epreail o»er the theatre. The dead Edmund
[M. Greve] caught the infection, and to
conceal his laughter, pulled the visor over
bis face. Excit meut was at its height
when tbe the dog came near and suiffied all
over him. Edgar seized his sword and tri'jd lo
drive the animal from tbe scene. Jnat then, as if
the poet had composed the words for the occasion,
King Lear rushed in, shouting " Heult. heult.
h«ua! O Menschen ! seid ibr vun St«in !" The
doK. which apparently understood the " Henit,
heult, hoult !" obeyed the eommand dutifallv, aud
begau to Uark with all his misrht. The laughter of
the audience increased, and all souse of gravity of
the scene in the play was gone.

PKOGRESS OF MABTINRZ-CAMPOS' CAMPAIGN
—A SEVERP FIGHT WITH DOUBTFUL
RESULTS ^ — EEPORTKD WOUNDING OF
GEN. MARTINEZ-CAMPOS.
Havana, Nov. 28, via. Key West, Nov. 29.—
On Nov. 18, the present campaign was opened by a
severe fight on tbe plains of Manacas, about mid-
way besween Kemedios and Sancti Speritus. Ao-
cordine to Spanish accounts (heir for^ consisted of
only 400 infantry. They were attacked bv, insur-
gents numbering 300 infantry and 400 cavalry, who
had taken up tbeir position ob the piaina. When
the fight commenced the Spaniards were encamped
at a place hidden from view of the plains by a
small range ot hills. The insurgents, by sendingont
some veuerrilUs, enticed a portion ot the Spanish
forces into the piai ns, where a number fell on them
and while these .Spaniards were fighting for their
lives, tbe remainder of tbe insurgents attacked the
other Spanish troops behind the hills. The result
of this affair is, that both parties claim a victory;
the insurgents, as usual, carrying off the greater
portion of their wounded a id dead. The Spanish
lost thirty-three killed and fifty-nine wounded,
among the latter si.x offlaers. Tne insurgents
loft twenty-four dead on the field. In general
orders, issued hy the Spanish Commander at Beme-
dios, he says that three soldiers who ran awa.v
during the fight will receive twenty-five blows each
With a cane in tront of the Spanish line, as
a pnnishment for their cowardice. The foregoing
is from Spanish oiBcial ruports. Private accounts
say tne Spaniards lost no killed and woonded. In
order to resist the attack of the insurgent cavalry
the Spanish troops formed squares which were
twice broken. Gen. Martinez-Campos was at
Bemedios during the flsht, where it is supposed be
still remains. Some wild rumors were current ror
some days about Gen. Campos being dangerously
wounded iu the leg, which appeared to be well
rounded when it became known that Captain Gen-
eral Jovellar had left Havana on a special train on
Satnrdav night. It appears, however, that family
affairs obliged bim to go to Cardenas. He has since
returned.
Anoiiber collector of revenaehas absconded to the
United States with tho fnnds he had embezzled.
His name is Quevada.
ADDRESS OF GEN. CAMPOS TO A REGIMENT
OP VOLUNTEER CAVALRY.
Havana, Nov. 29. — Gen. Martinez Campos,
addressing a regiment of volnnteer cavalry in
Bemedios, recently, said:
" If, in all tbe jurisdictions of this island, a regi-
ment like this, of more tban thirteen hundred
horse, bad been formed, it is quite sure that tbe in-
snrrefstion wonld have been finished long ago. The
troops which, after an aciion, bring in the most
piisoners will have my special attention, lor it will
be a sign that they unite to their valor the spirit of
clemency which, always distingaishes the strong.
We must convince our enemies that they will never
have a mtore paternal Government than" that of our
£jng, and we must b.y our constanc.y take from
tiiem all li'>De8 of triumph. Twentv-f our thousand
men and 125,000,000 have already arrived to finish
the war, and if more men and more money is needed
Spain will send them." •

THE OREQON ELE0I0R8H1P.
San Feancisco, Nov. 29.-^A press dispatch
from Portland says Senator Kelly and a number of
promiuent Democrats held a meeting to-day,
but the nature of the consultation has
been kept secret. It ia believed, however,
to have been for the puroose of determining
what conrsa to pursue regarding the case of
Watts. Some Democrats, who profess to
know, affirm that the Governor will
issue a certificate to him , unless enjoiue^
from doing so. But the Itepnblicans receive sji^oh
declarations with distrust. United States Dis-
trict Attorney Coghlan, ot Calitornia, is
in Portland, and has been closeted
several times with the Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee, and other prominent
Bepublicans. As .yet they decline to announce what
course they will pnrsne should Watts be refused a
certificate, or an iujunotion be issued restraining
tbe Governor from issuing the certificate.

IWO SISTERS DOUBLE MARRIED.
The Ban Francisco Examiner of the 22d inst.
says: "On Saturday evening last Misses Bath and
Jennie Torres, the beautiful, and accomplished
danshters of Hon. Manael Torres and Mrs. Mariana
Torres, were given in marriage, Mr. E. Beck, of the
Ansie-Califoniia Bank, being the happy aud for-
tunate gentleman to espouse Miss Buth, and George
"Warren Davis, the Deputy County Clerk of i^arin
Oonniy, being honored in claiiniDg Miss Jennie as
his partner for life. The ceremony was performed
according to the rites of two religions. Father Eir-
miogbam was the first to bind the kaot to inalsso-
lublv hold, throngh life, the fsir sisters to the gen-
tlemen of their individual choice. The service was
most solemn and impressive. After Father Binning
ham withdrew, Kev.Mr.G-iuon, of the Episcopal faith,
came forward, and in the beautif al words of the Epis-
copal service again msdq one, those ' whom G-od
hath joined together no man shall put asunder.'
The marriage was witnessed by a large company of
the ' fairest and bravest' of tbe State of California-
Monterey, Sacramento, San Rafael, and San Pran-
oisce being well represented. After tho time-hon-
ored coDgratnlatioDS had been offered tbe company
aojourned to the dining-hall, where the choicest
viands loaded the handaomelyadorned tables.
Champagne flviwed freely for the entertainment of
the guests. Air. and Mrs. Torres had lert nothing
undone to make this important aod brilliant pcoa-
sion a most delightful one to theiT own and their
children's trisnds. Wit, good humor, and eloquence
were as sparkling as the quaffed wine. Mr. Duub,
County Clerk 01 Marin County, and Mr, Eugene
Duprey, ot this city, made appropriate congratula-
tory addresses, and aided iu heightening the pleas-
ant sentiment of as-iemblad friends. Elegant and
costly presents to both Mr. and Mrs. Beck and Mr.
and Mrs. Davis were many and unique. Hon. Alan-
uel ToiTes, one of the most respected of our native
California citizens, may well be proud of his daagb-
ters, so oaretally reared, so accomplished, so fair,
aud so well mated. May the blessings ot all time
attend them, and only true happiness be their lot m
liftf."
A FUX UTOIiT.
The York (Fenn.) I>aily says a farmer set a
trap to catch a cunning fox, which had been annoy-
ing him considerably by its midnight visits among
the poultry. For fourteen successive visits to it he
lound the trap sprung, a stick of wood between its
laws, and the bate eaten np. The ciroumbtance, so
"often repeated, surprised him. There were no other
tracks to be seen bat his own and those of the fox,
ana who sprung the trap was a question that puz-
zled him sorely. By coutinuine to rebait his trap,
he honed to catch the author of tiie misehiof. Ou
the fifteenth night he found a. fine old fox hung to
It by the nose, and in his mouth was a stick of
woodl _

* »b<Miy«f men whoae namo lims beoomo almo«t a
•ynonyin far t^KJetloism. That at least is tha char-
aoteriatio by which, after their atordy adherence to
toelr reU(;l0D, tbe Paritaas are most dlatinimiahed,
•ad which they fftirly earood for theaeelvas' by
tbfiir ieOate deaieaDort their plain oloth-
InX and cad laatniase, and by a eode of ■' bine Uwa"
Whiehwere formally enacted for the punlahmant
(rf a youth who ihoald ao ihr foreet his parentaee aa
lo snatch from a maiden a relnctant kisa. Yet,
ifter all, warm hearts heat beneath these meh'a
euid exteriors. Their ooDsoienoes obli(;ed them
to repadiate botii the festivals and tha reliclon of
(he coTxatry from which they fled to worahlpln
'(he wilderness. And yet tuey, had acaooely become
established on the shares of Maasaebn setts before
they initiated the oastom which is obsorved to-day.
f How they gate their first thahksis told in a qaaint,
eld letter dated at "Plimm:oath in Kew-England,
this 11 of December, 1621," and written by Mr. Ed-
ward Wlnslow to a " lorinc and old fi-iend " in Lon-
don. It wad afcer the Bret hnrrest when this ua-
iwittias historian wrote that "Governoar Bradford
sent foore men on fowliosr, so that we might after
a mare si>eoiaU maaner reioyee tesether, after w»
Itad gathered the frai£ of onr labors ; they fonre
ta one day killed as mnoh fowI^ as with a little help
beside, served theo3iin>any almost a weeke, atwhioh

J^xm<S^ many of the Indians coming among vs. and
x'vmMijret the rest thetr greatest Eing Massasoyt,
ti itti some ninetie aut, whom for three days we en-
tA*taiaed and feasted." That is the record of the
flra t Kew-Bagland Thanfesffiyins. Before that.
1Shei>^>|bad been in ▼arioos parts of Sorope oc-
qmIoo* ^ similar observances formally recommended
By the. oiTil anthoritie.1, and of which perhaps thei
'first, 'tr at least the first on record, was the
eelebna'ion in 1S75 by tbe people of Holland, of the
delivery of Ley den from a state of seige. Bat thes»
fsstiyals a t«od each by itself, ancT as Christmas and
fna Jswisli Feast of the Tabernaote, or of Insatbw-
lag at the ctnd of the year are solely reUjcieos, and.
in BO respect national, there «an searoeiy boa donbti
Shat this oeuiitrf is the onlv one in which people as
» people give thaaJcs to G«d for his coodness to
them a« a aatios. The fast-days of Scotland are

After the Thanksglvihe of 1621 the first notloe-
abie one was that of ISB, when a day of fastms and
prayer bavine Iteen appointed beoatise of tbe disss -
troas drooffhtk a copious rain fell while the people
•mvn even yet at their devetiona, and the rest of
the day wa<i si>eat in feaating instead of fasting. la
1631 there was another day of ThanksgiTlng to
eeletoate the aversion of a famine by tbe unex-
pected arrival of a ship from Ireland. Alter tbls the
eoaitiHB fell into desnetode tor many years, bat Jast
as Chnatmas and Eiater surTiTed the fallofth»
Soman Cbarch in Britain, so Thanksgiving was
destined tO pass from a Puritan festival into a part
Vtbe diatlaet nationality ot the United States.

IN THE MABESTS TBSTBRDAT.
The marketmen have paid little need to the cry
of hard times, it would seem, for their stands |in
the markets about tbe City were apparently as
abundantly supplied yesterday with tbe mateiials
for a Thanksgiving dinner, as they have been in
previous years. As tbe poulterers come first in
tbe popular appreciation at this season, they had
undertaken to bear the harden of business, and
their stalls were loaded when tha market opened
with plnmp tnrkeys, chickens, ducks, and geese, to

tomei-s. The stock of turkeys was this
year smaller than.it has be'eh for. three or
loar years past, while tbe supply of chickens
was somewhat larger than usual. One of the moat
suecessful poultry dealers in Washington Market
said to a reporter of T'UB TUIES yesterday that be
had nerer known business to be so dull as it has
been this Tbanksfiving season. He bal never
known the time before when, on the night before
Thanksgiving, his stall was not crovwled by from
sixty to a hnndred persona, all buying poultry.
His trade was tan:, oat it came in a cUfferent way
than formerly. The hotels 4re baying largely, be
said, many of them having baa so much bns*
iness dunug the Centennial Exhibition season
that they were disposed to reward their employes
and were giyihg them presents of turkeys. Bat
tnere is a marked falling o£^ in bis opinion, in tbe
demand by the working pe^opls for poultry. There
had been the usual number of requests from charir
table institutions dei^iriug to be supplied with
poultry, and tney have been liberally met, altbough
It was pofsible that their supply was
shorter than it had been iu former years.
The business of the dealers has not been altogether
as satisfactory as they could have wished. In
former years the iiei;«bborho6d of Veaey, Fulton,
and West sheets has been thronged with buyers on
ThankB£iving eve, from an early hour iu the morn-
ing uuiiii Its closing hour at night. Yesterday,
however, there was not so large a crowd in the
market at anytime as to make it difiScult to move
along the streets Or passage Trays. The butchers
were nearly deserted.

MBS. GLMASON'iS CBUeI TREATMENT
KIJIPORTS TO THE C0MMISSI0NBR8 OF CHAR-
ITIES AND CORRKCTION — THE CITY
PRISON PHTSICIAN'S BKPORT THAT MRS.
GLBASON "WAS INSANK — THB SUPERIN-
TENDENT or THE INSANE ASYLUM RE-
PORTS THAT SHE WAS NOT.
Pursuant tA notices issued by the Commis-
sioners of Charities and Correction, written
reports relative to the caie of Mrs, "Waitie
Annie Gleason, were personally presented
at a private meeting of the Commissioners yester-
day morning by tbe following ofiiciala : Dr. B. N.
Disbrow, the Ambulance Surgeon, who examined
Mrs.1 Gleason at the Fifteenth Precinct Station
house and took her to Bellsvue ; William G. Mc-
Namara, the Beglstry Clerk at Ballevne, who re-
ceived her; James F. O'Bonrke, the Warden of
Bellevne ; Margaret McArdle. the nurse who had
charga of Mrs. Gleason in Bellevne ; Dr. Di<vid
Brekes, City Prison Physician, and Dr. Thomas
Smith, his assistant, who examined Mrs. Gleason
the day after she was taken to Bellevne. and Dr.
B. L. Parsons, Mpdioal Superintendent of the In-
sane Asylam on2{laokwell's Island, who had charge
of Mrs. Gleason after her removal from B^tllovne.
"Warden O'Rotirke and the nurse, MoArdle, were
queationed at Swomv length in reference to their
reports, and the former was , directed to make
his report more full and precise, and Mrs. McArdle
was given her report and told to present a new one
covering all details in reference to the charges
again4t ner as soonas possible. At tbe adjonrnment
of the board, President Brennan said tie thonght
O'Bonrke'fi and Mrs. McArdle's reports would
be presented eithes this morning or to-morrow
morning, bht he thought it more probable that it
would be to-morro v morning. Bslo w are the main
points in all the reports except that of the nurse,
McArdle, whioh was net in condition to publish.
Dr. Disbrow, who on the eveaiag of Ost. 31 was
called to the Fifteenth Precinct Station-house, said
he found Mrs. Gleaaon tbere on his arrival, and was
told that she had sprained her ankle in^ steppiag
from a car, and that, being unable to glye any ac-
coast of heracif beyond tiaying that her name was
Mrs. Gleason and that she resided at No. 443 West
Forty-spcond street, she was taken to. the station-
hoase by an officer of tbe Broadway Squad, and an
officer was sent to the residence which she
gave, and was told that she had boarded there, but
bad left some three or four da^-a previoualy, and
that her present residence was unknown. Dr. Dis-
brow said he queationed Mrs. Gleason, but was
unable to obtain any otber.answer trnmber except
her name and residence, and he^ closes by saying :
"I examined her foot, and found .that snebad'ana-
tnined a slight sprain of tbe ankle. Upon farther
consideration of the case I decided that she was
suffenns from dementia, and, as her friends could
not be found, I decided to take her to the hospital.
TTpon arrival at the hospital, I assigned to her one
of the female cells under charge of Br. Symington.
Mr. McNamara'said that Mrs, Gleasen's case was
entered on tbe book at tbe hospital by Dr. Dis-
brow as one of dementia. She was sent ta tbe cells
under the care of Dr. Symington. On being searched
by the nurse a pocket-book containing i(2 66, a
chain and looKet, and a pair of earrings weru taken
from her and given to McNamara, who says he gave
tbehi to the Warden for safe keeping. Ou the fol-
lowing morning Mrs. , Gleason was "violent and
abusive,'' and on tbe 6th inst. she was sent to the
Insane Asylam on a commitment issued by the Ma-
nne Court.
"Warden O'Bonrke says that Mrs. Gleason was
brought to Bellevne by Dr. Diabrow about 8:40
P. M. ou Oct. 31, and was sent to the cells as a
" case uf dementia," and that, becoming; violent tbe
next day, a strait-Jacket was pat on. her. She
was examined by Drs. Brekes and Smith, who
thought ber a ,fli snbiest for the Insane Asylum.
The nurse, Margaret MoArdle, who had oharg^ of
Mrs. Gleason, has been in the hospital eight years,
and was a kind woman. Mrs. Gle«sun's property
was taken from her and given to him. It
consisted of an enamelled chain and locket, ear-
rings and a pocket-book containing lJ2 66, which was
delivered to Mr. Wilder, of the Paelie Administra-
tor's office, at the reauest of Dr. Parsons. As for
diamonds, tbere were none in his opinion, unless
they so called the stones which adorned the
locket. .The story of ill-treatment was a gross fabri-
cation.
Dr. Symington reported that Mrs. Gleason was
"admitted as a case of dementia." As it was not
usual to report insane cases i^ him immediately,
unless aocampamed by some complicating disease,
he did not see Mrs. Gleason until tne morning fol-
lowing her arrivaL "At that time she was in a
strait-jacket, and had her feet confined trith
bandages." Tbe nurse said that ou tbe previous
nighty while being undressed, Mrs. Gleason bad
offered great resistance, and that, after having been
put to bed with cold appUcatious to a bruised
foot, she arose and threw herself with
violence several times against the door
of the cell. The nurse, fearing she
might do herself an injury, called for assistance,
and put on tbe Jacket. To all tbe auesiions I put
to Mrs. Gleason she replied in a vacant manner,
'"Mrs. Gleason, No. 442 Wesi Forty-aeooau
street." I ordered bromide of potassium, and in
ibeevouing I saw her again, and the jacket bad
beeu removed. She stared at me vacantly, and
would make no reply to my endeavors to draw her
into conversation. During the night she again
became violent, and sbe was tied with bandages,
which were removed on tbe following morning.
I afterward saw her daily. Her appetite
was good, and her mental condition un-
proved. Sbe one day spit the medicine I
had presorioed into the nurse's face. I believe
Mai garet, the nurse, to be kind and paxiont. ''It
IS not cnstomary for her to apply to a physieian for
permissian to use th'e strait-jacket; we rely on
her not using it without sufficieat reasons."
Dr. Brekes reported that he saw Mr». Gleason on
the da;^ after her admission to tbe hospital. She
gave bioi no answet- to numeroas questiaua except
"Forty-second street," and some number, which
sue repeated several times, and in a manner that
could only be don» by a person whose mind was de-
ranged. Dr. Smith saw her afterward,
and fonnd her in the same condition.
She was kept at Bellevne five dayn, lo see whether
she would improve or her friends come to take her.
But as she did not improve, and they did not call,
she was sent to tho Lunatic Asylum. "At the
asylum our diagnosis mutit have been corroborated,
for io appears she was kept there several weeks :
whereas, if sbe had not been suflering from mental
aberration, she would anduabtedly hare been im-
mediately dischareed."
Dr. Smith reported that at the time of his exami-
nation, Mrs. Gleason was violent and iucobereuo in
conversation, giving vague and irrelevant answers
when spoken to, and then only alter repeated ques-
tions. She appeared incapable of concentruiiog
ber thoughts on any subject, so as to give a rational
answer. From these f,iCts, and from her general
appearance, there was no doubt in bis mind that at
the time of the examination sbe was in«ane and in-
capable of taking care of herself.
Dr. Parsons reported that Mrs. Gleason was re-
ceived at the asylum on tbe 6tli lusc, placed in the
reception hill, and alter ward given a room by her-
self in a portion of tbe ball remote from that occu-
pied by patients who are liable to become excited.
Her physical health was fair, but she seemed to be
suffering from both a physical and a mental
shook. One ot ber ankles was badly apraiaed, and
she said sbe nad fallen from a car or stage. Her
meoiury was bad, and sbe ouald not rememder the
number of tbe street iu which she resided. " Otner
than a defect of me,mory, and a weakening of abil-
ity to think, I did not find any evidence of iusanlty,
either in her converiBatiou or deportment." Letters
were written to Mrs. Jack, tbe lady with whom she
boarded, and to Mr. Wbito, a friend of Mrs. Glea-
son, but tbe letters were not received, as Mrs.
Gleason bad given wrong addressoa. Sbe received
such attentions as she required, but as she was
quiet and lady-like, I proposed to remove her lo
another hall, but sbe drsired to remain where she
was, on account of likini^ one of the nurses, and I
permitted her to do so. On the 17th inst., a patient
engaged in working about the ball, suddenly re-
moved one of two chairs on which Mrs. Gleason
was reclining, and Mrs. Gleason said that a patient
pushed her also ; but at the lime she did not s.iy a
patient struck ner. I did not express myself (as
Mrs. Bishop says) as having made an iuvestiiiLation
and beiug uf the opinion that a serious mistake
must nave been made. In reply to Mrs. Bishop's
iuquiiy as to whether Mrs. Gleason was insane, I
said tnat, "except general mouial eLfaeblemeut
and decided failure of memurv in some particulars,
she was not insane, and miaht be taken care of by
her triends quite as well as in an asylum for ine m-
aauo." The quesiiju why she was received was
not asked by iirs. Bishop ; I did nut state that I
was not re-sponsihle for ner reception, nor ihat the
authorities at Bellevae were respousiuio tor send-
ing her to the asylum. Mr.s. Gieason was pleased
to see Mrs. Bishop, but was not — as Mrs, Bishop
expressed it — "almost trautic with joy at the pros-
pect of hi r deliverauCB." On the other baud, she
desired to remain longer, on tbe ground that she
did not feel able to make the oxenioa a removal
would make necessary.

STOVE-MAKINQIN TROY.
The Troy Whig of "Wednesday says : "AH
onr stove foundries in the city at whioh union men
have been employed are idle this week. They were
all shut aown Saturday night, preparatory to a
general reduction in the wages paid to the em-
ployes. This step was necessary to enable our
mannfaoturers to compete with the mannfaotnrers
m Western and other cities. They have fonnd
it ueeless during the past season to attempt to sell
their stoves alongside of >those mannfsc-
tured at from ten to thirty per cent,
less cost. Instead of Troy snoplying this
entire vicinity, together with most of the
Western and South-western cities, as formerly,
they find Western Stoves offered in their home
market at leSs than the cost of those of Trojan man-
ufacture. W^ith these facts beforethem, our manu-
factnrers have determined to withdraw from the
business entirely, rather than longer submit to the
ruinous rates they have been compelled by the
rules ol the Molders' Union to pay for their work.
With the superior facilities enjoyed by Troy for
oonduoLing tbe stove manufacture, tbe proprietors
of the foundries say tbere would always be plenty
of employment for their men at "fair prices.
To this the molders reply that employ-
ment is furnished out a portion of the year,
and that a majority of their numlter "earn
but from three to five hundred dollars per annum.
On the contrary, the manufactursrs assert that
eood men will earn from eight to sixteen hundred
dollars. Fuller, Warren & Co.'s molders left their
works in a body Saturday night, taking their tools
with them, bat it la understood that a majority of
the men are willing and anxious to come to an
amicable arrangfement so as to resnme work. A
meeting of the Stuve manufacturers is to be belJ
Saturday, when a future course of action will b3
determined upon. I'he different foundries will be
opened on Monday, the 4th, and all the oidemployes
will be given an opportunity to resume work at the
new scale of prices. If they docline, the most or
all of the manutacturs will employ new men to take
their places."
A MIOHIOAN MASlpDON..
A letter from Lansing, Mich., to the Chicago
Tribune seys: "Sometime ago the County Drain
Commissioner laid out a ditch through a marsh on
the farm of Mr, Cummings, m the Town of Belle-
vne, Eaton County. Mr. Curamlngs was inclined
to growl a litile over the ditch matter, bat his
neighbors needed the ditcb, and ho was obliged to
submit to the wishes of the majority, who could
prove the benefits of auob a drain. Now, it turiis
out that that very ditch is likely to prove more pro-
fitable than digging poturoes; for he has struc^the
bones of a mastodon, which are attracting the at-
tention of people, who have offered $3,000 for the
colieciion, and will also pay liberally for any oth-
ers that may yet be unearthed. The water runs in
the excavation so fast that a large pumo will be ne-
cessary for farther researches; and a large space
of ground will have to be excavated, as tbe bones
are found m a water-coarse, and must be carried
down stream. The largest one is three feet
eight and a half inches long, measures two feet and
ten inches around at one end aad seveuteen inches
fit the other, and weighs flfty-eight pounds. Tbe
shoulder-blade is two feet and ten inches long; the
whirl-bone two feet in circumference; the section
of the neck-bone next to tho skull is eighteen inches
in dnimeter, and weighs four pounds. Tbe teeth
are lour inches "square. Estimates from the cor-
responding weight of ox-bonos place the weight of
the animal at 30.000 pounds, or fifteen tons; and
its length from the skull to the rump eighteen
feet."
SAGACITY OF A TANK£E CAT.
A few days ago some parties who had spent
the Summer months in the beauiitul village of
Stratford, Conn., (three miles beyond Bridgeport,)" on
their return to this City brought with them a
favorite cat. This cat was brought in a basket and
by steam-boat from Sttatford to New-Vork. A few
days after arriving in the City the cat was missed.
Search was made, but abe was not to be found.
About three or tour weeks afterward, however, as a
veracious coiTespondent asserts, the oat made ber
appearance in Stratford one morning at the house
from whence sbe had been taken a month before.
She was a miserable living skeleton of bones and
fur. Sixty miles she had travelled, ana how sbe
found her way is a great mystery, especially as she
was without a scerU to travel by.
SCABCKLY THEEK YKARS OlD
And her face covered with those fearful scars, to be
worn for life. The timely use of uallet's vVIaoicai,
Pain Kxtsactor would have pievent^d them.— .<idi!<r-
